I spent a lot of time working on the product side in the Voice UI space, and therefore have a lot of opinions. I could totally end up with a wrong prediction, and my history may make me blind to changes, but I think a chat assistant is a great addition to a rich GUI for simple tasks.

> I think we'll move into a situation where the AI will have the context to know what you will want to purchase

My partner who lives in the same house as me can't figure out when we need toilet paper. I'm not holding my breath for an AI model that would need a massive and invasive amount of data to learn and keep up.

Also, Alexa tried to solve this on a smaller scale with the "by the way..." injections and it's extremely annoying.
Thank about how many people use Alexa for basically timers and the weather and smart home. They're all tasks that are "one click" once you get in the GUI, and have no lists and minimal decisions... Timer: 10 min, weather: my house, bedroom light: off. These are cases where the UI necessarily embeds the critical action, and a user knows the full request state.

This is great for voice, because it allows the user to bypass the UI and get to the action. I used to work on a voice assistant and lists were the single worst thing we had to deal with because a customer has to go through the entire selection. ChatGPT has a completely different use case, where it's great for exploring a concept since the LLM can generate endlessly.

I think generative info assistants truly is the sweet spot for LLMs and chat.

> in the sense that AI platforms will revenue share with the platforms they integrate with to create a mutually beneficial relationship with the suppliers of content.

Like Google does with search results? (they don't)

Realistically, Alexa, Google Assistant, and Siri all failed to build out these relationships beyond apps. Companies like to simply sell their attention for ads, and taking a handout from the integrator requires either less money, or an expensive chat interface.

Most brands seem to want to monetize their own way, in control of themselves, and don't want to be a simple API.

For some it is a hellhole that pushes them to commit suicide or at least attempt it. Thankfully that is not my experience but we shouldn't ignore the bad examples of "socializing" in school and potential solutions to it.

Tech makers must provide repairs for up to 10 years under proposed EU law
The level of irresponsibility at play here is off the scale. Those running ChatGPT would do well to consider the future repercussions of their actions not in terms of technology but in terms of applicable law.
I learned Angular with v1. When v2 came out, it was so different I had to learn a new framework either way. I went with React because it was the one gaining the most traction. I think that’s what happened writ large.
It's definitely feeling in this thread like learning to "socialize" is A.) Always positive, and B.) a fixed, shared experience We must force kids through
As I see it, basically the inertia that JS devs don't want to switch from their beloved horrors of NPM.

Rails, Django/Flask or even Apache Struts or Java Spring would do good in this use case.
Considering I was bullied by children, teachers, and staff until I was suicidal most of fourth grade, I have my doubts.

I was moved to a different school but it couldn’t undo the damaged that caused. I didn’t learn how to socialize until my second year of college.

It wasn’t until my thirties that much of the psychological damage was revealed and addressed.
I'm in Canada. (You know, that country that didn't have a banking crisis in 2008.)

Here, I'm reasonably confident that banks will not cash a cheque before the date on it, other than if it slips through by clerical error.

My government recommends this:

https://www.canada.ca/en/financial-consumer-agency/services/...

They don't say it can never happen, but if a post-dated cheque is prematurely cashed, it's a problem, and you can complain about it to have the payment reversed. You should complain before the date on the cheque (after which it is more or less moot).
I don't have strong feelings on the subject, but I find it bizarre that you'd find what most people traditionally did for almost all of human history up to a little more than the last century a "weird, American idea." And you get most of the rest by counting "just a few kids from the local area" rather than a mass state-sponsored institution.
Since the issue looks to be the consent of the footage being released, would it be the same situation if the footage came from their body cams requested by FOIA? Provided all of their cams didn't simultaneously and mysteriously malfunction of course. Either way I hope things go Afroman's way on this. The raid itself was complete clown shoes.
That’s not necessary. There’s no reason you can’t socialize your kids via the usual extracurricular sports and activities that they’re going to do anyway.
Fascinating article and code examples. Thanks for the link.
> That's not to justify the Inquisition, but rather, it isn't as if how we do things now is all that much better.

a lot of countries don't have capital punishment and people are usually assumed innocent until proven guilty rather than the opposite, as it was back then. It seems a lot better to me.
I would love for it to just parse some data from my api, clean it up, normally I do manual checks, but takes so much time. Might be possible via Zapier.

Not saying that it isn't, but I'm curious, what's your reason for saying Jira is trash?
Why?

I’m Danish, and homeschooling is imcredibly rare in Denmark, and I frankly can’t see the appeal.

What is it that makes it so compelling?
They are more likely to think of them on terms of their future power, incliding the power to ignore or alter law.
Good call. I have manually repaired a few mdadm arrays in my time that would have surely been complete losses in the hardware RAID systems I've encountered.
Thanks for this. The devil is always in the details. "Building a job board" is the easy part...

I don’t think any of your examples are applicable here. Work has never stopped in chemical/bio warfare. CRISPR. Restrictions and embargoes are not technologies. Nuclear rockets are an engineering constraint and a lack of market if anything. Not sure why you mention phage therapy, it’s accelerating. Personal nuclear power is a safety hazard.
Just cancel the payment, I wouldn't even bother to talk to them if it's clear it'll be difficult. They'll send you a letter or something saying if you don't update the payment method your access will be cancelled. Ok?
As someone who was homeschooled for a year by a private company, it works when it's one on one everyday and the teacher isn't someone who thinks unschooling (Taking kids away from some sort of educational framework) is a good idea.
Are public schools always better than an echo chamber? Does homeschooling always result in an echo chamber? Do kids always have friends in public schools?

There seem to be quite a few assumptions in your thinking.
A functional central government comes to mind.
Wow, as somebody who remembers Xerox's lethargy even in the 80s and 90s, that's both an incredibly apt comparison and shockingly accurate.

That is just additional information that didn’t make it to the headline. Other facts not included in the title is that the cops took his money and didn’t give it all back. Instead their review stated that they miscounted the money when it came in…
Having been roomates with friends who were unschooled, it definitely made later life much more challenging. College was a lot of remedial mathematics catch-up, and the way they engaged with employers, potential partners and such was much different than most people.

Quality public education can serve children much better than unschooling or poorly performing private or public schooling.

Some areas just have very little choice though, the Catholic Schools are shit, the public schools are severely underfunded and decrepit, and unschooling starts to look reasonable, despite how it seems to have stunted my friends :(
I've often thought this with digital streaming services - a law that said if you charge for the Month of January and it shows at the end of the January that not a single stream even started, then you can't charge for the next month. Not holding my breath.
Let me spell it out more clearly - surprised that the transaction occurred because they forgot to cancel it.

Do you not see this as plainly duplicitous behavior? I think the intention to deceive is far more cogent than any warnings.
It's ridiculous.
It's probably just more accessible for most people to use a piano roll, since they don't have to read music.

Personally, I've never found a music notation program that was as useful for composition as a pencil and staff paper. Obv after writing you're going to want to use music notation software for presentation.

GarageBand supports entering notes. Try it and see how much simpler the piano roll is
If you filter the dataset to remove anything that might be considered toxic, the model will have much more difficulty understanding humanity as a whole; the solution is alignment, not censorship.
Sorry, I misunderstood your comment, or wasn't clear in mine..

I agree that there are many hypocrites out there who silence others every day but now clutch their pearls on this case.

But my point was: the Stanford hecklers were wrong to drown out the Judge's speech, regardless of how his rulings or viewpoints impact them. I see a trend of people who have been historically marginalized, now feel empowered to silence others.

I have never used Alexa, hey google or whatever flavour you choose for more then "set a timer for x minutes" and other very basic tasks. It's amazing how terrible the voice assistant products are compared to chatgpt.
What you're saying in this thread makes no sense.
Imo there is less of a flywheel than it might seem. It's not like google search where a click of the 7th result is concrete feedback. ChatGPT doesn't get concrete feedback (it's not none), and the amount of text available for training is crazy high.

Additionally, the model doesn't learn from experience. If you use GPT-4 for 10 years, it will behave the same in the 10th year as the first. It's not getting better as you use it. OpenAI could improve their models based on the feedback they get but I believe they claim they aren't doing this, and I doubt they'd lie about that.
It isn't yet. For example, Wolfram Alpha is an app that GPT is communicating to, and it actually exists.

Same for Chinese food in the Netherlands.

It's more like Indonesian food (former colony), but not really, it's more a collection of Asian-like dishes with tons of sugar added.
Fascinating to hear your perspective on this. I think a lot of people will fall out of the sky. Beeing overtaken before even realizing why.
In germany most of my friends and collegues working SE tech or digital design, often "haven't even tried this Chat something thing" or stopped at "AI images? These wierd small pictures that look like a cpu is high on drugs?"

I think this was more or less normal over twenty years ago when everyone started to crack down on underage drinking. Get caught serving minors or hazing and the university might take your house away.

From the university's standpoint they of course want to pave the way for donations and protect their reputation. If they boot an occasional animal house fraternity it just lets them open a door to a more reputable organization that is more discreet about breaking campus rules.
>Coinbase isn't giving my coins (rhetorically, I do not use Coinbase Earn or own any significant amount of blockchain assets) to anyone, they're interacting with a decentralized protocol on my behalf.

This is an incorrect assumption that is true of ETH, but not the majority of coins that Coinbase Earn ingests.

From the 10-k:

We operate staking nodes on certain blockchain networks utilizing customers’ crypto assets and pass through the rewards received to those customers, less a service fee. In other cases, upon customers’ instructions, we may delegate our customers’ assets to third-party service providers that are unaffiliated with us. Some networks may further require customer assets to be transferred into smart contracts on the underlying blockchain networks not under our or anyone’s control.

>The risk profile also isn't exactly comparable, as in your example the bankruptcy and the potential profits are directly linked, while slashing is a punitive measure imposed by the protocol to punish bad behavior.

How many people do you know actually leave a product on a surface for 5+ minutes? If you didn't use it properly, then you didn't actually kill it.
True. We do a fair bit of cloud-based dev environments and I’d be worried about risks from tasks getting paused/resumed that aren’t well-designed for it. In theory this could cause undesirable outcomes but it’s probably not an issue in practice.
Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Finland to Operate as a Joint Air Force
So Google back in the day was doing this thing with matrix multiplication for... page rank and it somehow magically was right. And right for everyone on the globe. Actually very few people understood how the search engine did this damn good order of page results (in the good years), but still was very happy to use it. And few initially understood how to query it!

Now some other company is doing very weird sht with their matrix multiplication, but on a... whole different scale, and still some people don't buy into the idea that this can be very big, even though only handful of people actually understand it. Well, where were you Google?

Building angular bullsht and not doing matrix multiplication... those guys beat you on your own game, hah!
I think this would be more useful as a tree structure than as a list.

Eg. Why would I need to care about electron and react native for a web app?
School can be awful for kids in america. Schools can't keep kids safe. Bullying is rampant. Extremist political groups campaign to get history rewritten to match their agenda. It can be insanely grueling.

Certainly homeschooling isn't the only answer, but I also think most people are handwaving how terrible the school system can be for kids here.

I would recommend against threatening to call OSHA. If you're going to do it, just do it (and be sure they keep you anonymous).

Retaliation is a thing.
I wonder if part of the solution here might be to put firm limits on the period over which subscriptions can auto-renew. That would limit the upside to these practices. Is there any real societal benefit to subscriptions lasting years without contact between the company and the user?

It should be simple to make it the law that people must affirmatively re-subscribe every 12 months, contracts saying otherwise are invalid, and charging someone for an expired subscription entitles them to twice the money back + $1000 (to make it worthwhile to fight illegal charges).
IMO the community shifted from SSR to SPA initially very rapidly due to the huge benefits over entirely SSR apps, but it came with some notable pain points and some new frameworks that incorporate parts of SSR have been attracting a lot of attention for solving those pain points.

A lot of leading maintainers now feel that the best solution is more of a middle ground where frameworks support both server side and client side rendering with the developers given the flexibility to choose what renders where (or on both) depending on the app's needs. React is driving a lot of this now with server side components, but there's a lot of frameworks that were doing it beforehand which has inspired much of what they're doing now.
> their tech get commoditized

I know that I could figure out what they mean by "unschooling" by clicking around and searching. It's just that it feels a bit annoying to read an article about it, have it mentioned several times, but not be told what it's supposed to mean. I take it it's supposed to be a cool way of saying homeschool.
This feels a bit like Bill Joy's article about nano-technology. I think it's just a healthy fear the the unknown future. AI will be refined into usable tools, mostly good with some other unintended negative consequences. Sounds like a lot of things.
Great post! (However, I just read the entire post and I still have no idea what readlang is.)
Are you saying there aren’t any age-inappropriate, sexually explicit books in school?

Because what I’m seeing on social media is parents at school board meetings reading NC-17 level books that are in their elementary school kids classrooms.

Is that not a thing? I mean, I only see it on social media, so it could me disinformation?

Is it disinformation?
That's a very high probability. But I'm still astounded at how incredibly irresponsible this is and how thinly veiled their excuses for pushing on with it are.

We're about to enter an age where being a tech person is a stigma that you won't be able to wash away. Untold millions will hate all of us collectively without a care about which side of this debate you were on.

I'm a non-programmer, and recently I've been trying to turn a bunch of various time-saving scripts I've created over the years into a vaguely cohesive GUI. I figured aiming for a modern web gui framework (run locally) would be the way to go.

This comment encapsulates the experience so, so well. I have no idea what is going on, everyone tends to have a very strong opinion on which way to go, but no one can provide an explanation of the baby steps in how to get started. Or even why to get started. It's maddening.
I dove into the article expecting some advice on "How to start a React Project in 2023", got a compendium of the JS/TS framework landscape instead.
The only people complaining are a section of comfortable office workers can probably see their places being possibly made irrelevant.

The vast majority don't care and that loud crowd needs to swallow their pride and adapt like any other sector has done in the history instead of inventing these insane boogeyman predictions.
They should make the aligned one generate the text and the accurate one detect if it's lying, override it, and tell the user that it doesn't know.

Why physical thing would be a requirement here?
Angular doesn't play well with newer build tools - esbuild, vite, etc., making Angular quite isolated from the other frameworks. So a plug for vite is a plug for most frameworks except Angular (and others not on the radar).

But also Angular has egregiously big build times as your project scales up, and that sucks.

Could you elaborate on this?
> peer pressure, bullying, drug & sex culture, and a middling career as a corporate drone?

Unschooling doesn’t make those disappear. I knew plenty of homeschooled kids that had sex and kids before 18, who drank and did drugs, and I’m pretty sure all of them are in middling careers as corporate drones.
i'm not saying Italy doesn't have fast food, or that food trends around the world don't influence each other, I'm saying at the time these questions were raised about "is pizza American or Italian?", fast food was an American export in the same way pasta was imported from Italy. The famous Italian Slow Food movement is explicitly making that claim.
If there's one thing police can't stand it's being held accountable for their own actions.

If the cops break into your house based on completely fabricated charges, destroy a bunch of your property and traumatize your family, at least from where I'm sitting, it kind of feels like it should be your right to record and disseminate footage of the illegal home invasion however you like.
Depends. In my bubble (EE and CS students in Germany) everyone is talking about this.
What sort of professions?

I think it might really help with writers’ block.

But “handicapped without it” in “many professions”?

Without detailed support, this reads as a rather absurd and zealous statement.
I could say the same thing about "Let's put EduTech in front of students, as pushed by for-profit companies, with one tablet per child sort of programs."

Except, unfortunately, it's not very experimental at this point. It's well demonstrated that it doesn't do a damned thing for educational outcomes - but it is, at least, very profitable for the EdTech companies who, when pinned down on it not working, assure you that if you buy the next version, they'll fix it.

We know that the current public school approaches aren't working very well for vast numbers of students. So, yes, I'll take "experimental by parents who care."
I haven't heard of (or it called) a 'disconnection' fee, but 'exit' fees are common. There's no pretence with that that there's work to do in terminating your contract, it's just, oh, you signed up for 24m, you want to leave in month 18, ok no problem but we'll sting you for £X because the alternative is probably you have actually technically committed legally to 24 months so in a way although it doesn't feel like it we're doing you a favour. ... It's pretty shit I think for tenants in particular where the available service periods don't necessarily line up with the time they actually spend in the property.
exactly. PROLOG fails with the non-true inference, and this is why it's inference. otherwise we'd be calling all the high-school made up nonsense inference.

it is absolutely not fair, established or not, to call non-linear regression inference. may be prognosis, maybe prediction, maybe just approximation. but inference is something that actually does logic, based on facts... and probabilistic theory infers only probability, not facts.
