While I don't entirely disagree, I think perhaps we need a new word.

I'd hate to come out and say "NPR lies" as it gets people's hackles up and immediately starts the us-vs-them dynamic. "Non-Neutral" seems to have been the best way in recent years to indicate that their reporting is, at best, slanted and spun in order to present a view of the world that they prefer.

It's hard to notice it when they're talking about things you don't know about, perhaps wheat imports for example. But then they do a story about something you do know about that you recognize is absolutely a one-sided hatchet job. A Not technically "lying" perhaps, but certainly not anything close to "neutral".

What's the word for that? Low-quality news? Mis/dis-information?

Personally I like the neutral/non-neutral because it reminds us of what the goal should be: actual truth, without the agenda.
Laws a bit more open to interpretation and chaining rarely works, it’s humanist, and it’s at its face unreasonable that one physical copy => right to lend out digital cooy.
I wish we had some real smart people as CEOs like Peter Norvig. Unfortunately, smart people don't like those kind of jobs. Instead we get some guy who made some "share my location" social media app and has been failing up ever since!
> I guess these things are basically marketing / advertising / BS, and the audience is senior management, hiring managers, clients, etc.

You seem like a smart person. If you don't understand who is reading it and why, then of course it'll seem like meaningless busy work, and you'll have trouble writing it well.

I'd consider telling your manager how you feel, and ask them for help writing these well. Kind of a pair programming session. I bet you'd get a ton out of it.
If the IA is creating their own digital copies of physical books, it could be argued that that the IA is creating and distributing derivative works. I'm not certain, but my impression is that derivative works have little in the way of legal protection.
Support engineers and an official bug reporting channel would help. I noticed and reported the issue on their official forums at on 16 March, but got no response.

https://community.openai.com/t/bug-incorrect-chatgpt-chat-se...

I only reported it on the forums because there didn't seem to be an official bug reporting channel, just a heavyweight security reporting process.

As well as the actions they took to fix this specific bug, another useful action would be to have a documented and monitored bug reporting channel.
I answered you, gpt is pattern extrapolator and was taught to be so, creating new word is totally fits pattern extrapolation.
Nobody goes to that place anymore, it’s always far too busy!
>But what I do believe is that ability to pay for water should not be a limiting factor to having access to clean water because it is a basic ingredient of life and so nobody should profit off of access.

Do you, as a "über capitalist" also believe the same to be true for food?
The main difference is the audience of both is different.

Leetcode works like this. Company A is asking these 100 questions with this frequency; let me solve these questions so that when I encounter these in the interview I can solve them then. The whole premise of Leetcode is on giving a question bank to what is already being asked. The aim is to clear the base bar a company has set.
This sets back archival and human knowledge back 100 years. If you embargo a physical copy, an electronic copy should be lendable.

I would start a webtorrent+ipfs+i2p site in Iceland just to get around this insane perpetual monopoly on difficult-to-find, old shit that doesn't have a market but publishers keep locked away.
How would they find you, if you don't have your phone? They'd have to give you an AirTag or something, which they could ping in the event of an emergency. But this would add quite a bit of overhead (both in terms of buying tons of AirTags, managing them at check-in, and getting them back at check-out.
Indeed.

It is a product of decades of quantitative easing, near zero interest rates and a tech bubble that needed to collapse.

Thanks to GPT-4 and other LLMs, this have driven the need for coding competitions and interview tests like Hackerrank, Leetcode, Codility to zero and having almost no use since everyone will just Ch(e)atGPT the coding interview or competition.
I’m not prepared to install this at the moment, but if you were to give an example of costs for what I suggested above, it might convince me to try it out
Any news on whether they're pursuing downstream weights? That's a really interesting question for me - if you started at the LLaMA weights and arrived somewhere else by supplying additional training data and computation, any infringement claim would be very, very murky. I also think it would be practically difficult to prosecute such a claim because it would necessarily involve comparative questions about the consumption of unlicensed training data to generate the original weights. It would certainly make for interesting law.
OP sets up the article that everyone is myopic, but then falls way short himself in only looking at programmers.

> Engineers are myopic and don’t realize they constitute a massive cost center that management is salivating to slash.

What is the value of a software company where these managers work when everyone can write their own OS/office suite/browser at home?

And if image/video generation keep up with GPT, we will see game of thrones contenders being made by a 1 man operation with a good imagination, essentially killing netflix and the like.

So what are we left with but compute and hardware. The risk of the future in my eyes is that everyone is without a job and the true power is with the few mega companies that provide us the hardware, and compute.

Apple and AWS are probably good companies to bet on. If there isn't a complete revolution by then.
I tapped out about halfway. It reads like a college freshman trying desperately to turn the 100 words they have into a 2,000 word essay. There are entire paragraphs that had nothing to do with the story at all.
No, as I said, their disclosure page says there is no and I'm not a professional security researcher so I was not very interested in helping them.

I find even it funny now, they could write that they will provide free API creds, but now they had a very bad moment due to their greed.
Yes, it does. Just likes it helps in Maths or Physics Olympiad or any other ranked entrance examinations. Patterns are there in most real world problems as well, the more you have tackled before, the easier it is for one to see a pattern.

Just like any sport as well
I parse it as:

Yesterday, it was a few days ago.

Today, it was many days ago :)
Replying to your edit: The format shifting argument and first sale doctrine are discussed in the ruling. Notably in the section headed ‘3’ starting on page 28 - but also in other places.
agonizingly slow method: 3d print the appropriate amount of tiles (or at least a form mold for the tile clay)
How could you possibly do that?
Also a cute prompt I saw on the same twitter thread

```

This is a variant of the monty hall problem:

Suppose you're on a game show, and you're given the choice of three doors. IMPORTANT: All the doors are transparent. Behind one door is a car; behind the others, goats. You pick a door, say No. 1, and the host, who clearly knows what's behind the doors, opens another door, say No. 3, which has a goat. He then says to you, "Do you want to pick door No. 2?" Is it to your advantage to switch your choice?

```

The response from chatGPT (v3, non plus) is:

```

Yes, it is to your advantage to switch your choice.

In this variant of the Monty Hall problem, the fact that the doors are transparent does not change the underlying probability of the problem.

```

I wonder how gpt-4 does. There does seem to be a bit of overfitting, but I consider the prompt fair enough and even called out the trick in capital letters, so that even a tired human should be able to get the answer.

Edit: An even more obvious variant of the prompt is seen in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35192466, which goes further and spells out that the contestant explicitly picks the door with the car. ChatGPT still gets it wrong.
+1, knowing your audience is critical
The argument that phones are banned from venues because they are disruptive is disingenuous, because far more disruptive things are not banned; or rather, the bans are not enforced. For example, I find it infinitely more disruptive to have people vaping at shows, and yet I have never seen people have to give up their vapes when attending a stand-up show, or ever be made to leave for vaping, for that matter.

As for anger about comedians being offensive, not at all. On the contrary, I think stand-up comedians have a duty to be offensive and push boundaries. I just think it's pathetic and cowardly to try to prevent people from recording those incidents.
Evolution might play some role.
Intel is not dead, wounded perhaps. I would still be very surprised to see them disappear.
Soooo... `netcat`, right?
I threw a challenging rendering problem at it and I was pretty impressed with the overall structure and implementation. But as I looked deeper, the flaws became apparent. It simply made up APIs that didn’t exist, and when prompted to fix it, couldn’t figure it out.

Still, despite being fundamentally wrong it did send me down some different paths.
> PR exists because honesty and frankness are punished in our society and people will jump at any opportunity to prosecute or sue.

Okay, then clearly the solution is to punish dishonesty even more harshly, thus fixing the incentives.
I don't know why you are listing examples of droughts, unless you interpreted my statement that global increased precipitation would seem to imply less severe droughts globally, as a statement that droughts will no longer exist. This would be an example of poor reading comprehension or poor inferential logic.
Ask HN: Are LLM‘s capable of generating their own source data?
It amuses me when people sometimes blame capitalism for bank failures, considering that banks are essentially governmental institutions with extra-steps. They're literally encouraged to engage in practices, such as fractional-reserve banking, which would be considered fraudulent or a scam in any other context. And to add insult to injury, they get bailed out when they lose their risky bets.
> but I doubt it stems from an ideological position rooted in hatred.

Chapelle has openly and explicitly expressed transphobic views both as part of his stand-up routine and in interviews.
True. There's option to export a newly created inflation to other countries, at least partially. Thus, steal from other countries' citizens and taxpayers.
Still no compose support?
Legal and Ethical are completely different things in the modern Western mindset, so enjoy your legal existence ...
I think it's fair to say that they bias leftwards at least.

They may not be, you know, outright communists or anything, but that doesn't mean they don't lean towards the left side of the American political spectrum a fair bit past center. In the standard distribution of political views calling them "left wing" is fair, even if they're not out on the long tail.
The Man Who Leaked The Pentagon Papers Is Scared
So many logical fallacies.
Honestly, it's a good thing. Given how dysfunctional the legislative branch is with fiscal policy I can't imagine a worse idea than putting it in charge of monetary policy as well.
It's amazing how wonderful and right and generous people like this always are about everything.
Is that a real question?

You didn't split out essential services, and it seems dead-obvious to me that shutting those down would cause more harm than good even when you value all families exactly the same. There's no way they're saying the families of essential service providers are less important.

And it seems pretty clear they're grouping those other things in with essential services, which you could disagree with, but is a very different thing from saying those families are less important.
This seems obvious in its desirability. I wonder if such a thing has ever been seriously attempted?
Money Printer Go Brrr and the Scorpion and the Frog fable in a Frontline Documentary, what a time to be alive.
Yup, that was me too. The BBC Micro was a great 6502 dev environment (for the time).

Several years after I moved on from the Beep to a PC, I again had the opportunity to use my knowledge of 6502 assembly. A rally-driving friend asked me to look into changing the fuel curves in their Toyota's ECU. Turns out that many early 90s ECUs used 6502s. I whipped up a 6502 disassembler (in Turbo Pascal) and was able to reverse engineer the ROM dump and make the required adjustments. Fun times.

I think it's a kind of Internet performance art, lol
Unfortunately IA lost all credibility in my eyes, when they decided that one journalist in particular gets to decide that none of their (awful) tweets should be archived[1].

I understand not allowing certain things to be archived, but the tweets of a public person, especially one who works as a news-maker, should certainly be in the allowed list.

E: And just to be clear, this was before said writer set their tweets to private.

He called it Open AI. He did want it to be open, at least at the time of its founding, which is why he called it "Open" AI.
I’ve had very good results from running the code and pasting the errors back into ChatGPT and asking it what to do. Sometimes it corrects itself quite well
Non scientific, but even the news shows like All Things Considered had a turning point when Trump was elected and then a larger one around the George Floyd riots where they became unlistenable for me. Around New Years 2021 I decided each time I stepped in the car that I’d turn it off at the first mention of some kind of racial inequality issue. Usually I didn’t get more than halfway into my 5-mile commute.

Maybe a few months later, I changed my default to the local Boomer news radio, KCBS, and have been fine since.
Depends what you’re hiring for.

Firstly the interview should be structured with an aim to maximize correlation between success on the interview and success on the job. If you’re not thinking along these lines you aren’t even playing the game.

For most startups, the right criteria to screen for is pace and quality of code, plus work ethic.

You can ask a relatively easy coding problem, whether it be algorithmic/data structure, or more real world, that 99% of people will be able to solve, but still apply a high bar for what’s considered passing. Can they code the obvious solution quickly and effortlessly? I dont care at all if you’re able to produce a solution, I care about the path to that solution.

Screening for the straight arbitrary algorithmic/design diagram problems has hordes of people who have trained to the test. At scale hiring these people may work through selecting for people with decent work ethic to grind problems, but you’re not going to get consistently great people this way. Lots of false negatives and positives.

Having hired over 100 engineers in the bay area, judging by coding competency first was always more effective than judging based on quick shot leetcode/algorithmic aptitude. You can easily grind canned algorithms to pass a leetcode style interview, but you can’t fake coding proficiency.

If you’re hiring for DB or ML developers, obviously theory is more important. But 90+% of you are not
Clearspace app shows “How did you find clearspace: -“ with no way to actually specify an option…

Hmm, I can’t select app categories unless I pay them ¥1000/month.

Never mind then.
Moore's law is really dead now
100 years? Seems hyperbolic.

And you don’t need to do anything at all; all of these books have been freely available on IRC for years.
You can read about one called “Operation Fox Hunt” here on Wikipedia:

Years of cobalt mining mutated them into tiny, terrifying monsters.
Tangentially related: I went to a Hasan Minhaj live show that had a phone check, except you kept your phone on you in a locked cloth bag that they unlock when you leave. Interesting concept I hadn't seen anywhere else.
I love how AI apologists trip over themselves to explain away deficiencies in GPT and explain how it will “get better with time”.

Sorry, it won’t. This might even be peak GPT. Training data comes from human content, and currently there is decades worth of pure human content available. But new content will come in slowly, and it will probably take decades just to double the amount of training data we have today.

Worse, since we expect AI generated content to start becoming widespread and difficult to distinguish from human content, GPT will eventually start cannibalizing its own outputs as training data, leading to shittier and shittier models over time that get overfitted and no longer seem human enough for any practical use.

It’s a fading dream.
It's worth emphasizing that part of the reason why publishers are happy to work with providing libraries with ebooks is that libraries are extremely good customers. There's something like 100,000 libraries in the US alone. A single organization like the Internet Archive just simply doesn't have the purchasing power to make publishers willing to give up any ground.
yes. people will squabble about how much and what quality is minimally required, but I would love to see every society prioritize guaranteeing basic nourishment to not only survive, but to have a healthy mind and body.
So what does this mean for my extensive library in Plex of DVDs I own?
Let's make up an example:

Fact A) Carrots are healthy.
Fact B) Carrots may be carcinogenic.

These are both inherently important facts to any story talking about the health, or danger, of carrots. To present a position on if one should be eating carrots or not, without including both of these facts, is to handpick facts to tell the story you want to tell.
Ive been really worrying about my future career wise the last month+ because of chatGPT and the incoming AI wave of innovation. The issue I have is, what’s the obvious choice for a career pivot? Do I switch to something like nursing where physical labor is involved? Do I get into networking and deal with setting up physical servers? I don’t have a great answer, so it seems to me that the best course of action is continue trying to become a better software engineer, and see what happens. I don’t know if anyone else feels more or less in the same boat or not…
Can they get through your fingerprint or key lock? It’d be entirely useless to steal my phone unless you are confident you can unlock it in 10 attempts.
Thanks for the feedback. Congrats on deploying a new feature to production!

I'll see about adding ARI to Caddy in the hopes that it will accelerate the transition to shorter-lived certs.
Las Vegas is actually very efficient. The city's water infrastructure is well built, and sustainable.

More over... It's simply not the problem either - cities never are.

Cities need water for individuals - ablutions and drinking, some light industry. The amount they use pales in comparison to what farmers and livestock will go through, and the volume and type of effluent produced, as well as contamination risk.
There are tons of commercial products one can use to kill a crowd of people, some less tradable than drones. Fortunately they are just not popularized or intuitive among people in that state of mind.
I bet i’m not the only one that was looking through comments for this.
They don't advertise it enough, but if you donate something like $6/mo. you get "PBS passport" access on the PBS app that lets you watch years of old PBS stuff. It's like Netflix with way better content.
Achtung! Achtung! If you want to keep your guests' credentials safe from potential attackers, you should consider placing these phones upside down. Just imagine, a coordinated attack where someone takes a high-resolution picture of sensitive information and uses services like Coinbase to send it to their mobile device. By flipping your phones, you can prevent this security concern altogether.

PS And if you ever need a security consultant with expertise in software, hardware and office security, you know where to find me!

The age of the bot is over. The time of the elves has come.
I don’t think the phone ban has anything to do with comedians being afraid their edgy material will be heard. I think it has a lot more to do with the fact that live shows and streaming deals are the only way they make money and they don’t want leaked recordings affecting demand.
Unsurprising that not all of HN is pro-fair use.

That's how you digitally send a copy of a book.

You're saying something similar to "you wouldn't download a car".
Rest in peace.

Truly, one of the giants upon whose shoulders we all stand.
Interesting. When did cash cease being an asset?
I 100% agree with you, but I (we) need more evidence.
I think they could have gotten more people to give up using their phones by just giving folks the conspicuous “phone free sticker” and calling out people who violated the norm and encouraging others to do the same.

Show HN: Delightful – Make friends at work, IRL. Good idea/bad idea?
So, recently got into an accelerator and I wanted to build something in a space I'm familiar with but also wanted to solve a social issue.

I'm really passionate about the future of work and the idea of human connection and have been intrigued with the correlated rise of mental health issues.

Turns out 64% of NA adults are lonely and workplace loneliness has just been exacerbated by the pandemic and the confusing work situations.

So I thought to myself: well what if I can meet people in the workplace who's also into Philosophy, Art, and Lord of the Rings?

So I came up with Delightful: intimate in-person micro-meetups for the workplace based on complementary personality types & shared interests on autopilot (all you have to do is say Yes!)

I think it'd be cool to have a Philosophy & Lunch session with 4 other strangers (maybe from different departments) this month, and a Paint Night session the next.

What do you guys think about this? Is this something you'd use? I'd like to validate the idea.

Would love to hear your thoughts, but please be nice :) Peace and love ya'll!
I agree, it’s much easier to hand wave in conversation
