The "harm" is that the power of moderation lies in the hands of the people who incidentally created this thing. They're probably doing it in good faith and the final result is reasonable, but the process of allowing creators to moderate responses of such an influential thing can be dangerous.

Not that the problem is new, see eg. Google search (it apparently doesn't refuse to answer questions, but maybe they're just silently censoring "worse" things and just presenting the "less bad" things to you), Facebook/Twitter content moderation, etc.
If it were based on open ended tooling that anyone interested could experiment freely with, I would feel the same. Unfortunately these giant LLMs are almost the complete opposite of that.
Checking out The Guardian's current UK page headlines: public sector strikes, controversy around media involved in a Rwanda visit, putin war crimes arrest warrant, actor dies, actor has blood cancer, labour party racism claims, SNP head of communications resigns due to failures, female footballers criticise another article, london bridge terrorist attack memorial, supermarkets fined after death of employee, something about the conservatives party upset someone wasn't prosecuted.

Followed by a row for the Ukraine invasion followed by a spotlight section containing: "the poison umbrella" on cold war killings, some babble about hugh grant and complaining about the Oscars, a somewhat not negative story about childcare funding?

~20 completely negative and/or garbage babbling stories on the page before one somewhat decent one sounds exactly the same to me.
Assuming your threat profile allows for it, go for it! The main difficulty I run into is Hacker News being _incredibly toxic_ in the comments on my articles at times, especially if I talk about anything contentious or break from the intellectual mold that this site has. You'd be sad to know the number of people that accused me of being a [threat to children] because I'm openly queer/furry on my blog.
Haha, imagine trying to use customer support for a product that you pay for. Honestly I'd probably ask Stack Overflow before calling in.
Hashes have multiple requirements for security. You're talking about only one facet, which is that you cannot be given a hash and produce a matching input without consulting a rainbow table (I think there's a term for this, I forget it though).

>Although I'd also gamble on them acquiring Epic Games. Apple wants to own the future of content creation.

This will never ever happen. Ever.

I think it equally unlikely that Apple would invest in/adopt something like Godot. Modern Apple has a serious case of Not Invented Here syndrome and despite Godot being permissive, I don't see them adopting that. Instead, I think we'll see more investment at ARKit and Metal, even though the only people that take Metal seriously are people who have a financial incentive to build iOS games (no one has a financial incentive to support Metal-based macOS games and there is arguably no financial incentive to make macOS games at all).
I’m probably about median age for HN and when I was looking into folding Seti@home I had no idea and didn’t worry about power cost because it was subsidised by my parents or university. Plus energy was cheaper then. Now as an adult seeing a month of a few GPUs running on the utility bill really hurts.
My problem with the hyped up stuff, ChatGPT in particular, is that AI actually does not exist.

The practitioners of the area of course have a vested interest to argue until the end of days that ACTUALLY AI does equal ML/DL and stuff but I am like "I see no Skynet so get off my back, we have no AI and that's that". :D

But, I guess in 5 years we could argue whether certain progresses are indeed attributed to ChatGPT or is it something else entirely!
A skirmish thing happened a couple years back between India and China where a bunch of soldiers on both sides had a fight and bludgeoned and stabbed each other to death over some incitement or another. I think they weren’t allowed to shoot each other because then it counts as war or something so instead it was sticks and stones pushing back maybe kilometres into contested Chinese territory and it was kinda like ‘yeaaaah what are you gonna do? No big deal.’

Also the Scorpion wreck has been surveyed twice and imaging shows the nuclear weapons are still there in the wreck. Wreck is ~3k meters deep, so no one is going down there to get themselves a 1960s vintage nuke whose only value is the fissile material.

The Drake Equation is essentially two parts: what is known or can be easily approximated with existing technology, times what is virtually impossible to determine but essential for even trying to make a guess. This made it useless, unfortunately. All we know is that intelligent life is possible, or may not be possible depending on what you put into the equation. Not exactly helpful. I think later approaches that try use hard physics, such as advanced cosmology concepts, have proven more helpful.
> Bicyclist in traffic accidents are much more likely to die than those in SUVs. Also, because the physical size is so much smaller, it's much easier to miss seeing them, which increases risk of accidents.

I think the author will agree with this premise but not the conclusion. They will argue that individually, you'd be safer in an accident with a bicycle if you drove an SUV instead of "lighter, electric vehicles", and the cyclist will be way less safe, hence society in aggregate is less safe if more people drove SUVs instead of sedans.

Hence the author concludes, in 18:30, that "we should be moving to lighter electric vehicles", contrary to what you claim their "logic" to be.

> Bicyclist are much slower than SUVs, causing traffic congestion which wastes time and reduces fuel economy. Furthermore, the slow speed results in significantly extended commute times resulting in poor time-management. Therefor we should all drive SUVs to increase efficiency.

The author would agree with you if cyclists typically occupied the full lane. In practice, cyclists yield to vehicles in the same lane. One also compares the fuel savings of not driving against the total congestion it causes.

> Transporting 3 kids to soccer practice with a bicycle is dangerous for both physical and mental health of the kids due to factors mentioned above. Furthermore the mom will loose her ever-loving mind if there is no video playing in the back seat to distract the 3 year-old from asking "are we there yet" every 2 minutes. Therefor, for the sake of mental health, we should all drive SUVs.

The author would argue not to commute by bicycle in this instance but that "we should be moving to lighter electric vehicles". I'm not certain regarding a video playing; the price difference should be able to get you a more versatile iPad.
If a Russian colonel aboard a submarine refused direct order to launch a nuke at the height of the cold war, I think we can assume very few are the people ready to deal with nuclear bombs for a buck.

Many things can cross moral boundaries, but I think I d rather deal in drugs and slaves, tanks and assault rifles than uranium, if only for money. And if not for money, only for national survival.

We struggled in France to finish our fusion bomb design and a british double agent pointed us at the best model we had that was similar to the british one, we're not sure if he did it for France or because the British wanted us to have it too, but it wasn't for money, for instance, even if it was a terrible decision to make as a human for him Im sure.

> For example, I think in 100 years acts like murder will be classed as a mental health issue and treated rather than "punished" (tho societal exclusion may remain).

We're already kind of there. That's why a lot of murder cases end up with insanity pleas. When I studied criminal law I had a lot of trouble trying to convince myself there's really a difference between "sane" and "insane" murderers...

And when I extended this doubt to other serious crimes as well, there was a nihilistic feeling about the whole system in general (which is what people already know -- you can get away with a lot of things if you have money to hire a lawyer, and the legal system is generally harsher towards poor and unprivileged people).
My point is that you would likely lose the same weight no matter what you ate, as long as you didn't overeat. There's nothing special about whipped cream, ground beef, and tomatoes. If you started at 290 lb (wild assumption) while eating 4000 calories/day, losing 49 lbs in 6 months by only eating 2300 calories/day is slow and consistent. But once you start approaching your target weight, progress will appear to slow down.

Hope someone builds this killer app for phone support: when you call the numbr, you continue the interaction on an app on the phone, especially the “phone tree” ( Press 3 for blah etc) but other parts too.
You can use unicode, l̶i̶k̶e̶ ̶t̶h̶i̶s̶
I almost never want phone/voice communication, but when that's the only option and it comes with "we are experiencing a larger than expected call volume" message that occurs at any time of day or night it is maddening. That kind of BS needs to be illegal, don't pretend that I might be able to get a response if I call at another time - that's just a tool to push me outside of a response window where refunds and/or cancellation are still options.

I also find the obnoxious and relentlessly bad voice recognition that companies are introducing ("say the reason you are calling", "say your account number") to be awful. I have never had an experience where I felt like slowly and clearly enunciating something was superior to simply typing it on the keypad.

But the core issue I have with this article is wanting a voice phone calls at all. The vast majority of times I need to communicate with a company text messaging or email is clearly superior to voice. It doesn't require me committing to an half hour extended call, it doesn't get impacted by my accent, it's more accessible across the board, and when the person at the other end inevitably changes I don't have to repeat everything I have already said.
I agree. The guide is ostensibly written to explain to people how they should ask questions but a "newbie" is unlikely to read this 11,000 word epic. The real purpose of this guide is telling hackers how they should behave, promoting arrogant hacker culture. For example:

"If you can't be bothered to do that, we can't be bothered to pay attention. [If you ask for help, hackers] are likely to return logically impeccable but dismissive answers like “Yes, you can be helped” and “No, there is no help for you.” Claiming urgency is very likely to be counter-productive: most hackers will simply delete such messages as rude and selfish. There is an ancient and hallowed tradition: if you get a reply that reads “RTFM”... [If you screw up] you'll be told exactly how you screwed up, possibly with colourful asides. Hackers are in some ways a very ruthless meritocracy."

The guide also has "yikes" parts such as: "Seriously overusing smileys and color and fonts will make you come off like a giggly teenage girl, which is not generally a good idea unless you are more interested in sex than answers."
Wow, that's really impressive! Much lower than I expected for 10k users.
> cryptocurrency stuff is the closest I've ever felt today to the spirit of the old internet

Cryptocurrency feels like the exact opposite of the old internet to me - it feels like a bunch of anonymous bros looking for the next sucker to scam out of money and get rich quick.
In the US, "Football field" is a quick conversion for hectare-sized areas. It also comes in handy for describing vast fortunes ... since a football field stacked 6 feet deep in hundred-dollar bills holds close enough to one trillion dollars. Or the annual US defense budget. If you change that to ten-dollar bills, you get close to today's richest individuals.
Dang, sitting on a report for 10 years is quite a bit of patience! Makes me think of government archive releases.

Understand now?
Catalytic converters are not really impacting performance most of the time, at least in terms of power. There are some efficiency losses from the restriction, but the net result is much cleaner exhaust. At peak power there is some reduction due to the converter, but it has been completely swamped by improvements in power density, so it isn't something anybody should be worried about. If you aren't running at peak power, the losses don't really matter.
I mean like it already currently is?

The only way what you're saying is true if there is a limit to the amount of new opportunities everyone being so productive will create. There's nothing to suggest there is.

I often feel depressed about how hard it is to make products better, if this tool enables that to happen, guess what I'll be doing? Building more products.

Also, many developed countries such as Japan, South Korea etc were almost facing economic collapse due to not having enough workers, so they basically "need" these tools to survive in the future.

Older people do drop foods and change diet in response to other things that change with age, like allergies, dentition, digestion, blood pressure or diabetes. Old people aren't just young people with years you accumulate stuff and change your life in response.

I heavily doubt that's the main reason for this difference, but old people diets are a healthcare trope for a reason.

That's great! I'm sure that da Vinci's heirs (or successors in interest) will treat this economic incentive as such, and start creating a lot more content. We'll all be treated to many more "Monas", and more entries in the "Chapel" franchise!

We can build better billing technology so that the so-called public domain isn't necessary. All content creators and their heirs or successors in interest can be incentivized correctly.

Using negative values would only complicate things and the goal is to have a simple solution for not losing convenience of having a unix timestamp that fits in 32bits and is very straightforward.

In 99.9% cases there will be no need to keep track of the epoch just like the current computers don't look before 1970. In rare cases if its required the epoch can obviously be stored in another byte.
This makes me sad because it reminds me of something similar I just went through.

For the last few years, I've been running >120k gpus to mine ETH. Before we turned them off after ETH switched to PoS, I tried really hard to find an alternative workload for them.

A large number of the GPUs were based on the PS5 chip, which is an APU (CPU+GPU) and ran as blade computers. It is actually a pretty power efficient chip, but the blades themselves are little use for anything that requires a lot of networking or data (they are diskless and ipxe boot a custom ubuntu).

I found a professor who's been doing research on various planetary data crunching efforts and we got his software (I think based on BOINC) running on these blades.

His software is analyzing data from telescopes to look for binary quasars. We crunched the numbers from our proof of concept and estimated that if we dedicated all the GPUs I have of that class, to this one task, that a 1 year of computation would be done in 1 month. At least two people have received Nobel's based on similar findings.

The problem was finding funding to pay for the operating expenses, megawatts of power, so it never got off the ground and the hardware has been turned off and decommissioned. Such a bummer.
To be clear, I don’t think we are getting a bunch of rockstar coders from chatGPT prompt engineering.

It's not a number of 0s (which would imply difficulty could only be doubled or halved), it's just finding a hash that is less than the target.
