Competition from non-junior devs, who can do all the same things the junior+GPT can do and also the tricky parts which "GPTs" can't yet do; and also have the benefit of domain-specific expertise about some area of business and/or better connections for investors, marketing, B2B connections.

This hypothetical scenario is literally like "pull up the ladder behind you", as all this experience and connections is something that a senior person has gotten while being handsomely paid for their time, but a future junior person may have to get on their own time and dime.

Ideas are a dime a dozen, execution is everything, and there's no reason to assume that random unemployed inexperienced people will be superior at execution.

Given at least one of yours has made it through elementary school, and we'll assume you're in-touch with what your children are reading in-class and for fun: do you recall any book your child brought home or read in school, or even was just in the elementary school library, that you didn't feel was age-appropriate?

I wouldn't assume any elementary-school librarian is stocking the kind of books you're concerned about, and I think it's possible you're being fed a line by politicians and the media, to drum up outrage and support for a narrative.
Yes, however, one of those failures was due to a flaw that remained basically unsolved for the entirety of the shuttle program. That puts things in a different light, no?
So it turns out that the way ChatGPT plugins operate, any user can use unverified plugins from arbitrary urls, just by pasting in a URL: https://platform.openai.com/docs/plugins/introduction/plugin...

With this in mind, how concerned should we really be about a pre-registered list of unverified plugins? The only new information exposed is the URLs of these various plugins, is this information so private if it was already registered in their list to begin with?

I don’t find this particular example very impressive. The U-238 answer is a bunch of disconnected sentences. U-238 is radioactive and releases something like 4 MeV per decay, not 200 MeV. It is not fissile, although one might calculate the net output of whacking it with enough neutrons that it eventually fissions. And if you ate it, unless your stomach was a breeder reactor, you would only have access to the decay energy, which would be large but would release so slowly as to be useless.

ChatGPT is usually more impressive than this, IMO, at least when asked shallow questions.

I've not seen it yet on Ubuntu, at least not through the default update path - occasionally I'll see a pop up for "firmware update available" though.

Windows will automatically deploy the BIOS update along with any other automatically deployed updates.

That being said, I rarely use vanilla Ubuntu and rarely use Dell, so maybe I've just not seen it and it does happen.
I hope that continues to be an option. In my neighborhood, they finally changed the signage from a merger that happened a while ago. I now have two Safeways within a mile of my house with the next closest grocer being a high end store 4 miles away and a discount grocer 6 miles away.

I fully expect one or both of those stores to be absorbed by the Safeway/Albertsons/Kroger monolith in the next few years.

"Fake it until you make it" - very human behavior indeed. It's unfair to hold the AI to a bar we don't apply to ourselves.
Law isn't the basis of morality. In the end juries exist exactly for that reason. People should be punished if society at large deems them deserving, not if they broke a law.
I don't find it over-emphasized. Many in the Twitter-sphere are acting as if they aren't being appreciative of open source software and I don't see it that way.

The technical root cause was in the open source library. There's a patch available and more likely than not OpenAI will continue to use the library.

Being overly sensitive to blame would be distracting to the technical issue at hand. It's great they are posting this post-mortem to raise awareness that the libraries you use can have bugs and to consider that risk when building systems.
No, that's not what real wages mean. Real wages going up means we can afford more stuff, full stop.

The fact that real wages haven't kept up with productivity means that we can't afford as much more stuff as is being produced, but we can still afford more stuff.

I'm not making a point about society, I'm making a point about what real wages mean.
Ask HN: Are there any React compiler projects to avoid needing the runtime?
Frameworks like Svelte and Solidjs do their work at compile time to produce an application that requires minimal runtime framework code. Why can't the same be done for existing React code? I would imagine that a good portion of React components aren't dependent on behavior specific to the virtual DOM and could be compiled to functionally equivalent vanilla JS that doesn't require the virtual DOM.

I wouldn't think that there could be a seamless switchover from React to whatever this compile-time framework would be, but I can't see why it wouldn't be possible for that to be done with only minimal effort to adapt the source code.
A recent paper from MS implies transformer LLMs are converging onto AGI. So it’s probably a good idea to abandon these stochastic parrot mental models.

No, I set it up to have a "quiz party" with itself, where ChatGPT was essentially the moderator asking the questions, and the 4 other "AIs" had distinct personalities, or heavy accents. Like one was angry and always thought it was right, another was nervous and unsure about it's answers, one was 5 years old and another could barely speak English with a heavy accent but was confident in its answers.

It was very interesting to watch. The "participants" actually started arguing with each other about the right answer, or straight-up insulting each other.

Not everyone can afford to just buy whatever books they want, but they still pay taxes. It's a huge cop-out to say "oh it's not banning the books completely, just removing the only method by which tons of people are able to access that literature."

It's a huge violation of the spirit of libraries. It is effectively censorship. I guaranteed that the bible, despite portraying just about every subject they are trying to hide, is present in every single school library in the state.

Saying that kids only get free access to the books the state legislators agree with is absolutely censorship.

They can always change the law and tax your Roth withdrawals...

I think the best bet is to do what everyone else is doing. They can't fuck everyone and keep their heads and keep their jobs. What do Millenials and Gen Z's retirement contributions look like? How's the picture gonna change as the Boomers die? Gen Z?

You don't wanna be the minority with a 401k when everybody else has a Roth and you don't wanna be the minority with a Roth when everyone else has a 401k. When push comes to shove the political minority will get fucked first. Alternatively, you can do something so off the wall and uncommon that you're a "small fish" and they don't care to tax you.
So then it would be fine if a parent bought such a book and donated it to a school library?
I can only speak for myself, but I have ~ 15 years working under my belt and my SS will be anywhere from 43-54k / yr depending on whether I wait till 70 to file. That's certainly not poverty wages, especially when you consider that most households have two earners.

Social security is meant to give you a baseline of living expenses. I'd argue it pays enough to live a dignified life in retirement, but maybe not a rich one. As I said, I know a lot of older folks living off social security in my home town, and it is doable, but it's not lavish.

I view it as a very good inflation indexed annuity to help insure against longevity risk, but I personally won't need it and won't really be that affected if it's cut by 30% as they're threatening.

>> This requires developers to build hundreds (thousands?) of versions of their app

What? No it doesn't. Which Android devs are building hundreds of versions of the same app? Who is this guy?

>> We know many software developers who insist on using an Android phone out of principal, but their green message bubbles stand out as exceptions

Oh right, someone who thinks America is the whole world. The green iMessage bubble and all the madness it leads to is a US specific problem. Nobody I know cares about iMessage at all.

>> Consumers, especially young consumers (aka customers of the future) prefer iOS by wide margins.

No they don't. Android dominates with 70% market share. Even in America iOS is only ~60% market share, which is not a "wide margin".

>> The result is that iOS users monetize for app developers much, much better than Android users

Yes because young people are famous for their abundance of spare cash. Eyeroll.
The rises are due to a power dynamic: the companies raising the prices can basically get away with it ("whatever the market will bear").

Why can they do this? One reason is monopoly power- monopolies must be broken up.

But what else can be done (besides central bank driven demand destruction)? So instead of price controls, a more palatable solution is collective buying. This gives buyers more clout, allows them to bargain for lower prices.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buyers_club

So we need more large non-profit buyers clubs, things like that. In the US, allow medicare to bargain with drug companies- it's insane that they can not.

An example where this works: my parents live in a gated community. They pay very little for the cable + internet + cell phone because the entire community has a deal with the provider.

Large retailers have this exact role: they certainly demand and get lower prices from their suppliers. We need a non-profit version of this, why should Walmart owners only benefit from their buying power?

Agreed; GitHub documentation refers to repo “visibility,” not “security,” and that is an intentional distinction.

When we signed on with GH as a paying customer over a decade ago, they were quite clear that private repos should not be considered secure storage for secrets. It’s not encrypted at rest, and GitHub staff have access to it. It takes only a few clicks to go from private to public.
> Have you audited every framework you use? Your compiler? Your CPU microcode? Your bootrom?

Of course not. I exclude the CPU microcode, bootrom, and the like from the discussion because that's not part of the product being shipped.

But it's also true that I don't do a deep dive analyzing every library I use, etc. I'm not saying that we should have to.

What I'm saying is that when a bug pops up, that's on us as developers even when the bug is in a library, the compiler, etc. A lot of developers seem to think that just because the bug was in code they didn't personally write, that means that their hands are clean.

That's just not a viable stance to take. The bug should have been caught in testing, after all.

If your car breaks down because of a design failure in a component the auto manufacturer bought from another supplier, you'll still (rightfully) hold the auto manufacturer responsible.

This seems to come from the same place as the argument of "trickle down economics". Yea no, I've seen similar things done in Japan with abenomics (with one of the targeted goal even being more inflation; without achieving it) and studies show it doesn't work.

Those spending never reaches the "lower classes", and seldom even reach places where it would have the potential to increase productivity.

It's a tired, old argument that is done to justify stupid spending and enriching certain pockets while claiming to benefit all with a shoddy reasoning that omit the important details
My kid has been playing with mame and roms since around 8 years old, he's 16 now, sure I used to have to jump in from time to time, but if anything ROM's and custom built images are what got my son into a basic understanding of how a lot of tech works. If a kid can do it so can others. The sheer amount of effort that goes into emulators is insane and I'm grateful for being able to share a lot of my childhood with my son because of those people's work and dedication.
They're not even related concepts. For sure Leonardo knew the basic form of a bull. But 100% Picasso's entire exercise was to remove the bull and leave only a symbol you interpret as bull. You can dress it up as "experiential bull" but even his detailed bulls don't really have 3d surfaces.

Leonardo wa dealing with three dimensional forms, lighting, the interaction of light and materials, etc. It's what makes even the picture in the article look "real". It's got nothing at all to do with what Picasso was doing.
If I’m the plugin supplier and OpenAI tells me they are going to impose limits to a group of <15 testers that I’ve cleared (all of whom are either internal or under contract), and then I’ve got to deal with external users using the unreleased plugin and causing fallout, I’m going to blame OpenAI for lying to me.

(Of course, to be fair, the basic model OpenAI uses creates exposure that doesn't even go through OpenAI, which would worry me from the start, and really dedicated API users could just implement ReAct and their own actions against any API, but that's higher effort and not particularly facilitated by OpenAI.)

That went really well in my country 30-40 years ago.

Then he had to go back to the diaper line and wait a few hours, because I wasn't impressed with the furniture enough to stop eating.
What's been really jarring about this issue is that everyone is calling it a "book ban", when it demonstrably is not. It's removing certain (in some cases pornographic) material from school curricula and libraries. Maybe you can steelman an argument that goes something like "if they remove this from school curricula and libraries, they'll try to remove it from the [everywhere else] too". This is of course silly. Plus, you can just go actually read the text of these laws.

The impact of female circumcision is a lot higher than that of male circumcision, but IMO both are genital mutilation.

As to dildos, Ezekiel 16:17 gets very close. Picking a few translations at random:

“Thou hast also taken thy fair jewels made of my gold and of my silver, which I had given thee, and [m]madest to thyself images of men, and didst commit whoredom with them,” (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ezekiel+16-17&v...)

It's a state trying to pull all state funding for public libraries (not just school libraries--all public libraries) because a couple library associations are suing over the constitutionality of an earlier law. And the law they are now trying to pass to defund the libraries is possibly not constitutional under the state constitution since that requires the state to fund public libraries.

That's worse than censorship.
