Random comments attached to accounts with good reputation count for something. If those get replaced by random comments written by bots attached to accounts with good reputation then that would be a problem. High value has many signals, reputation is one of them.

4chan is/was a very mixed bag, and just like there are garbage HN comments so there were excellent 4chan comments.
I’m not sure this is a good comparison. Nix competes with a ton of other os, most of whom are established. If you had only nix, which most people agree is generally an excellent Unix distribution if a bit opaque, you would have an excellent Unix distribution that wouldn’t be opaque any more because everyone knows how to use it. The lack of choice in transit system labeling allows you to choose something that has a higher initial cognitive load but has a lower amortized load and/or provides superior information etc simply because people have no choice but climb the learning curve. And once it’s become part of a regional culture it ceases to have a learning curve at all and is simply superior to the alternatives (like nix)

Show HN: OpenTheo – Transcribed and searchable Bible teaching with Whisper.cpp
Hey all! I just launched OpenTheo, a free collection of transcribed Bible teachings and other Christian material. So far, I've transcribed over 10,000 hours of content for the first time, including teachings from Steve Gregg, Tim Keller, Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones, and more.

Transcripts are fully interactive. You can click on any words in the transcript to instantly start playing the audio at that point in time. The currently playing portion of the transcript is also underlined to make it easier to follow along.

Transcripts are produced using ggerganov's Whisper.cpp (https://github.com/ggerganov/whisper.cpp). None of this work would have been possible without the Whisper model and ggerganov's work to enable it to run on CPUs.

The content of transcripts are indexed and searchable via the site search (powered by Meilisearch - https://github.com/meilisearch/meilisearch), making it easy to find content on specific topics or that discuss specific of the Bible.

Questions/comments are welcome!

> AI may have actual real world uses (unlike crypto)

You started with a sentence that captures the heart of why handwavy comments about "most mentions of AI are bullshit" even after someone narrowed it down to recent developments are silly.

The vast majority of recent mentions of AI are from LLMs and Latent Diffusion, which again, has already proven real world usefulness in incredible ways

No. It’s not even the best open source image editor that runs on Linux.

In fact, GIMP is the project I’d point to for why the bazaar model doesn’t work for large complicated GUI applications.
I definitely don't agree with the GP but I don't agree with you either. Human could and absolutely become attached to non humans, ranging from dog to pen to house. And I believe humans might begin to develop deeper relationship with AI bots very soon.
I think what he meant was that an AI generated comment might be high quality bullshit, like for example a story from personal experience that has never existed, or a false fact that looks convincing and/or is hard to check, or a personal opinion written by a statistical meat grinder, etc. And these comments might come to dominate any discussion because they are so easy to generate, unlike human high quality comments.
Just a guess, but it would not be surprising if there are variations in stylistic writing that are influenced by environment (location, people interacted with, air quality, etc). I have certainly observed it happen with myself based on who I've interacted with recently.
What are LLMs if not AI? A machine that can look at a comic image and explain why it is funny, then play and win a chess game, then explain in Arabic how to solve a trigonometry problem, and then finally write a persuasive speech arguing for a comedy movie about the above three skills to be greenlit, is an intelligent entity.
But there's "actual demand" in the Enron sense.
My reading of the PR is that previously, anything <=72 unicode characters was accepted, and they've changed it to limit to 72 bytes regardless of the actual number of characters (as some chars are >1 byte)

> There is zero practical distinction between taking your eyes off the road to see which button you're pushing vs taking your eyes of the road to see which part of the screen you're touching.

Practically, I don't need to take my eyes off the road to press an analog button, that I am familiar with, having a small chance to fail (to register the interaction). Touchscreens are notorious for not registering interaction, which is why using a touchscreen keyboard is inferior.

How are you superior to ChatGPT?

BARD: There are several ways in which I am superior to ChatGPT:

> I am trained on a much larger dataset of text and code, which allows me to generate more comprehensive and informative responses.

> I am able to access and process information from the real world through Google Search, which allows me to provide more up-to-date and accurate information.

> I am able to generate creative text formats of text content, like poems, code, scripts, musical pieces, email, letters, etc.

> However, it is important to note that ChatGPT is also a powerful language model and can generate impressive results. Ultimately, the best language model for a particular task will depend on the specific needs of the user.

I (ignorantly) thought of Python as JS with more syntactic sugar, but after I switched over I realized that JS has very little intentional design- its a random collection of features and quirks that invites you to shoot yourself in the foot. I mean just let,const, var and declaring a variable with no keyword at all is a huge mess.

> On the other hand a private company will only build something that makes economical sense.

Yes, economical sense to the company. But not all things that are good for society make economic sense for companies.
I agree entirely; this is lazy design. Cars are the most dangerous machines we’ve invented, by orders of magnitude nothing else causes as much unintended harm. It’s really, really worth doing the best possible job in the control surfaces for these machines.

They’ve prioritized visual consistency over usability. For example, why do the Volume and Tuner knobs look identical? They’re for different purposes, used in different ways and in different contexts. They’re even usually used by different _people_ — the volume knob is more likely to be used by the passenger, for instance.

And yet, they’re more related to each other than they are to the buttons placed between them, like Search and Map. All those buttons seem essentially arbitrary to me. Are Seek and Track really as important as Setup? Why have a rarely-used and interruptive feature like Setup right next to an often-used and non-destructive feature like Favorite (I’m guess that’s what the star means)?

I’m still glad they’re real buttons rather than a touchscreen. But you’re totally right — this is exceptionally lazy design and implementation of physical buttons.

And if I may — I’ve seen replies already to the effect that the usability of this interface doesn’t matter, either because it’s not a big deal to begin with, or because drivers will get used to anything, or for another reason. That’s missing the point — usability is for everyone, all the time. Even exports make mistakes with unusable controls.
You have it backwards, groups that vote at high rates are basically a lost cause because the name of the game isn’t to get anyone to switch sides but to mobilize your base. People who self-identify as independent voters are basically noise.

Any group with a 100% rate of voting is a group you don’t even have to bother to appeal to. They’re locked in. Your avenue for growth is populations that have low turn out which is why a bunch of republicans threw a hissyfit over Gen Z during the midterms and proposed legislation to raise the voting age.

I do not use C# (in fact, I do my best to avoid Microsoft products). But I can tell you that there are obvious workarounds C# employs to work around its lackluster GC. Stack allocation and spans immediately come to mind.

As far as I know, Java offers no way to mark objects as stack-allocated, but C# does. Spans in C# allow programmers to produce subarrays without copying. Enums in C# are stack-allocated, unlike Java. So on, so forth. None of this is a huge deal for Java since some of the best GCs in the world are implemented atop the JVM. But I do think C# offers its workarounds when GC performance gets in the way.
There’s no real good mechanism for what fzf is trying to do. profile.d might work, but I think that is more intended for environment variables, rather than interactive shell changing scripts.

There’s no standardised way to extend interactive shell configuration without just appending to /etc/bashrc.

The other problem with this is that it is hard to disable. What if you want fzf but without the key bindings? FZF could add a mechanism for this, but it doesn’t fully solve the problem, because the FZF script being added to global configuration will always be run before any user config.

In this specific case, it is a limitation of bash (and probably ZSH as well) that there is no simple package-manger compatible extension mechanism for interactive shell plugins which doesn’t sacrifice user control.

Saying:

Which is exactly the opposite of the article and agreeing with the comment to you replied to while calling things bullshit...

When the article was written they straight up were not using AI, now they are and mostly in novel ways by the simple virtue they're building on a novel tech.
Suggest using ChatGPT instead of google.
“I think Google should have banned them from future purchases, but taking away all Google services seems very draconian to me,” Eleff added. “Not allowing access to past data is even worse.”

I think most Google account owners would agree with the above sentiment.
I got the impression that the reason the author chose JavaScript was not necessarily with the intention that people would go full-bore FP with it, but more as a way of "meeting people where they are"; JavaScript is widespread and many people are already familiar with it, so it's more likely that they can get up and running with the examples and start exploring the concepts more quickly than with, say, "Learn You A Haskell For Great Good" (where, at the very least, a lot of people would need to download and install the compiler).

And, if the author is successful, then the chances that you could one day be able to write JavaScript code in this fashion and expect it to be maintainable would increase!
Nope. "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa". Is this an AI generated text? ChatGPT is a glorified form letter, and there is no way to detect form letters if you only have one sample. I remember broken form letter e-mails starting with "Dear null" and similarly broken AI responses can be detected. If ChatGPT model never changed, one can eventually infer certain signatures in its responses. But of course it will be technically improved and trained with more data over time. How can one detect an arbitrary moving target?
This stemmed from the fast save feature which was present from Word97 through 2003. Earlier versions didn't work that way.

No one is screwing anyone. I also learned from reading GitHub code and continue to do so. I haven't "screwed" the original code authors by forming an abstract memory of their code.

Any country that tries to forbid this will be torpedoing their economic competitiveness against countries that allow it.
> I believe you misunderstand the technology.

> There are two components of Peertube.

No, the people who run Peertube misunderstand how to communicate. This comes up every time Peertube is discussed. People think Peertube is a replacement for YouTube and that they can upload their videos to peertube.com or something similar. Then they learn, that, no, it’s just the software to let you run your own YouTube-like site. Then they have questions like the one above and get replies telling them they don’t understand. Maybe Peertube should just find a better way to communicate what they offer?
No I don't think so. Dollars sitting in a bank have zero utility. At the end of the day what is worth more in real terms, an IPhone today or some 1000 dollar deposit for tomorrow ? So who winning in that trade off?

I think he's right about this—things are going to get weird and ugly and people aren't prepared for what's coming. Here's my suggestion for safeguarding your sanity in the years ahead: find the people and the blogs you love, embrace RSS, block or avoid everything else, read old books, stop listening to podcasts, revert to email as the primary channel for occasional "social" correspondence, abandon all side projects that require additional screen time, go outside.

This is the way.
As a relic and few remaining photo enthusiast I will not buy any photo or related gear from amazon.com anymore. End of story. 23 years I've been on dpreview always daily. I loved watching dpreviewTV too. (doubt the 'Camera Store' in Calgary will be able to take them back)

This is ridiculous for a company as rich and huge as amazon. Go shut down IMDB next so I won't buy any movies from you anymore either.

That's a bit like the old joke that the efficacy of parachutes at preventing free-fall deaths has never been proven scientifically. (Well, until this 2003 study[1])

Some chains of causality are so obvious that we don't need to prove them scientifically: Many people find touchscreens hard to use without taking their eyes off the road. Taking your eyes off the road can lead to crashes.

If there's one main point, I think it's this from their website: "Userflow works as a layer on top of your app, containing tooltips, modals, buttons and more."

We don't "sit on top of your app." We're built into your actual app natively which makes it easier to build for both quality and any custom functionality you need.
