I see the ChatGPT outputs as substantially worse. They include the same nonsense. But it reads smooth. And it's enormously inflated in length.

One of the best uses of these systems is text compression. It doesn't seem that folks are asking for that yet though. It might help.
The biggest thing with FIRE is that they very rarely/almost never account for the expenses increasing over time, and they never account for the fact that you will have multiple emergencies in your lifetime. Someone is going to break something and need an ER trip, a stoke scare, a heart attack scare, a relative is dying, etc.
Django. It is easily the most productive technology for me to build small to medium scale web apps.

Not mucking around with containers and K8s either. An optimized VM can go a long way.
SVB leveraged cozy relationships to attract business than they could handle. They ignored compliance and normal banking risks. They left their C level risk management position open and we’re not transparent about their fiscal health.

Rate risk is a key feature to buying any bond, and it’s a risk that is manageable if management isn’t asleep at the switch. Nobody forced SVB to buy long duration bonds. Any investor with a moderate level of expertise understands that, and you’d have to be pretty green to not expect rate increases from the all time lows.

Blaming the government is a cop out. The job of finance professionals is to manage the assets in their custody responsibly.
Back when I was doing a lot of ethernet driver work, I joked to colleagues about what I'd do if I had a time machine. Go back and kill Hitler? no. Go back and stop John Wilkes Booth from shooting Lincoln? No. I'd go back and convince Bob Metcalfe to make ethernet headers 16 bytes rather than 14 to avoid all sorts of annoying alignment issues
I’ve got his book Packet Communication, and the acknowledgements ends with “Don’t let the bastards get you down.”
Tell me you don’t understand the issue, without telling me you don’t understand the issue.

First off, raw data is not for sale from FAANGs, it is their most jealously guarded golden goose.

Second, the entire point isn’t that you as an individual have something to fear from the CCP, the point is they have/can/will use their platform to push specific viewpoints, amplify messages with the goal of influencing public opinion. AKA propaganda.

Say what you want about big tech, but continuing to allow the CCP a direct conduit into 140 million Americans is pants on head stupid. Bytedance have known about the issues and have yet to actually meaningfully address these concerns. In fact they have done thing which make things worse, they have actively obfuscated things and used their platform to go after reporters.

Anyone who says this is protectionism is either naive or not making a genuine argument.
Most full stack roles aren't that specialized (by definition). So if someone has a heavy database optimization background he probably wasn't a full stack dev. It's just a different role. Sure you can maybe pick up on some of those skills on your job while troubleshooting some performance issue, but those issues are quite rare and far between.
And again, I'm not sure a database optimization guy would find the current market any better than a full stack developer who specialized in Node and React. How many companies need a heavy database optimization background guy? Why does it make you more attractive if you have that on your resume than someone who worked only on Node and React for 8 years?
On that note, Bevy, a game engine in Rust, is looking to upgrade and improve how audio is being done in the engine, and they accept contributors of all skill levels, and are a very welcoming community :)
Ask HN: Do you use browser extensions, and if so, do you worry about security?
I sometimes use one of the popular dark-mode extensions for Safari and Firefox, and I vacillate between thinking it's almost certainly fine and I'm being grossly irresponsible by using this extension. This would also apply to all sorts of extensions, not just dark-mode.

When I'm thinking it's fine, what I'm thinking is: They probably wouldn't feature this on the front page of the app store if the app was harvesting data. Right? Somebody has reviewed this, right? Lots of people use it, and it seems fine! And I really super hate getting up early, flipping open the laptop to do some quiet-time work, and being blasted in the face by the extra-bright backgrounds of the various web portals I have to access.

But then I think, here's this extension that can read everything on every page I visit, and even if they're being good citizens now, there's no guarantee they won't sell the extension to some nefarious data-harvesting company later, or that the NSA hasn't insisted they scoop up data and placed a gag order on them. (And it's not that I think the NSA is out to get me specifically, but it seems clear they have a "harvest everything" policy, and I believe everything harvested will eventually be leaked.)

So I dunno: is it fine? Or am I being grossly irresponsible?
This is the most amazing comment I’ve read in a while.
Barely a week has passed since Gen-1. The difference in the video generated is noticeable. Everything moves so fast.
> Problem is this is not innovation.

I'm objecting to undue criticism, compared to any other AI startup.

> It's a political statement and a system that will never accomplish anything.

You're speaking with undue certainty.

> They are not funding a project, they are making an initial investment

£30 million is more than tokenistic funding.

> lazy

A completely unwarranted descriptor on day one.

> Take the hours spent on this "innovation" and instead implement a feature that Chrome has which Firefox doesn't.

Developer skills aren't completely fungible like that. Besides, what if Chrome starts integrating with Bard?
"Divide your fortune into seven, or even into eight, for many are the mischances of the world" - the Bible (Ecclesiastes, if I recall correctly).

In other words, diversify. Hope that the areas that grow make up for the areas that implode, or at least that they don't all implode.
Wow, I love the branding!
> What’sapp is kind of a communication monopoly in a way especially because it’s owned by Meta

It's near monopoly status (despite the poor UX) predates the Meta acquisition, and in fact was probably the main reason for the it.
A favorite “tactic” of some developers Ive seen is to deliver a half baked solution quickly, then a continuous stream of fixes to that solution. An easy recipe for creating merging a lot of PRs.
I don't think it's uncontroversial at all. People's health is better for lots of reasons unrelated to lead, so it's very hard to compare. We no longer die of pathogens and injuries as much, even COVID is not as bad as some historical plagues.

There's new hazards that didn't exist then, but a some of them are exactly due to the body doing harmful things with surplus nutrition, that's what obesity is.

Toxins activate things all the time. Just because it can be activated doesn't prove it should be activated at any more than the baseline level, and some things might be better off activated less.

There's various papers on "ultratrace elements" and a few old ones on "lead deficiency" talking about impaired lipid absorption, and reduced Hct and Hb(Isn't lower but still normal hemoglobin a good thing?) but people are likely already getting more lead than 100 years ago.

Even if there's some role for lead and the papers aren't getting it wrong, everyone's probably getting more than the optimal point. Unless they study that optimal point it could be above, the same as, or well below what our ancestors got.

Or perhaps the optimal point has even changed. Maybe lead helped them have Moe Hb, which helped them persistence hunt or something, but now we don't need any boosts like that to meet typical or even optimal levels of excercise, and it just puts unneeded stress on the heart.

We do have studies like this showing detrimental effects to people with increased lead, even within the typical range(https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.106.6...)
It took me way to long to figure out what it was about. Needs better headline copy. Also, took the page like 3-4 seconds to load which isn't terrible but it's not optimized either.
Yea, it’s a homebridge plugin: https://github.com/arendruni/homebridge-pihole

Really easy to setup once you have homebridge itself running. Just enter in your Pi-hole api key and add it to HomeKit.
to me the generation of cars roughly 5-10y old fits exactly that bill. They usually have touchscreen, often even Android/iOS integration and they have all physical controls still (except for Teslas). And with the right drivetrain you can find ones that are at or above 43mpg on the highway. For daily commuters I guess it's better to have an electric, but for my needs (weekend driving/shopping runs) it's perfect.

Show HN: Find top Artificial Intelligence jobs
Hey HN community,

I wanted to share a project I've been working on - an AI job board which will hopefully have the best jobs in the market. I've noticed that there are a lot of job boards out there, but I couldn' find one really important in AI. Lately, with ChatGPT, Bard, MidJourney, Stable Diffusion, Adobe... many opportunities are surging.

My goal with this job board is to make it easy for people to find AI jobs that match their skills and interests, and for companies to find the right candidates for their open roles. I've tried to keep the design clean and simple, with easy-to-use filters and search options.

I'd love to get your feedback on the site - what do you think of the design and functionality? Are there any features you'd like to see added? And of course, if you know of any AI jobs that aren't listed on the site, please let me know! I will contact these companies, maybe they will be interested.

Thanks for your time, and I hope you find the job board useful. I am eager to hear back from you.

Agreed this was my experience with the SA role
Nah this is fine, money printer go brrrr
That the Austrian School is being singled out is particularly interesting right now, given that they are highly critical of fractional-reserve banking precisely because it might generate crises such as the one we're living through. Chapter 10 of the Core Econ book does not feature the word "fractional" and only talks about reserves and money creation in passing [0]

So I hope that, like the Index, you warning steers people towards instead of away from austrian aconomics :)

Oh you can get a lot more creative than that. You can hedge out "catastrophic" interest rate rises while taking your chances on smaller increases. In this case, catastrophic can easily be estimated by taking the duration of the book and the equity cushion and applying a margin of safety. Or you can simply ladder Treasury durations that inherently don't have enough duration to cause problems. SVB apparently did none of that.
Absolutely correct. Chatted with him several times circa 2015 to 2016 when working out of Capital Factory in Austin. He was present for all sorts of event such as mentor hours, startup pitches, etc. Funnily enough, he would give you a very stern look if he thought you were taking him for a ride. Have not been there recently as as much as I would like, but I imagine he is still around to be found.
maybe modify it slightly? a poem starting with each consonant in alphabetical order? a poem where every word starts with a particular comon letter like "t"? the same but in reverse alphabetical order
Most traditional construction was done with green wood, in fact, and there is a whole bunch of furniture making and other fine work that can be done with green wood. Much carving and turning is preferable on green wood, as it works more easily than dry.

And in fact, testing is one of the most widely shared pieces of advice among woodworkers I have seen working and met. If there is more than one of any cut to be made, it is customary to build a custom jig to hold the work, then test on scrap to ensure all is correct. After work pieces are all in or near their final shape, it is typical to do a dry fit: put the entire (or some substantial subassembly of the) finished product together without glue or fasteners to ensure it does fit. Iteration and small tests which allow for fast failure and early correction are a longstanding tradition in woodworking, much longer than in programming.

In my personal experience, working professionally as a programmer and as a hobbyist in woodwork, I have been much more impressed by the degree to which woodworkers build their own tools to support their workflows than by programmers. This holds up among individuals I know personally, discussions I have followed online, and popular personalities I have been exposed to.

If you follow discussions and developments in both communities, it becomes clear that the difference is not the ease with which one can build tools to make their work better, but the price at which programmers can get professional-grade tools for the same purpose.

BSD and Linux are free. Hyper-powered text editors are free. Most programming languages are free. Postgres (and a plethora of other, databases) is free. Compilers, debuggers, package management, CI/cd tools, collaboration tools are all available for free.

As for the availability of raw materials for building such tools to improve work, that is a question of cost, not ease. It is certainly easy to build tools for a woodworker, and the cost is not prohibitive, based on the observation that every woodshop I have seen has a significant amount of tools and fixtures built by the worker.
I wonder if there's a "control group": a tiny but identical container that goes through all the same steps. Nothing can ever be proof that it wasn't contaminated or a seal was broken on the real but not the control container, like, nothing will convince an Internet conspiracy theorist, but a control vessel and a handful such missions ought to prove beyond reasonable doubt that it wasn't contaminated from earth. I'm personally already willing to trust that they thought of (and controlled for) these things and more, since it's their job and we're just thinking out loud here.

The market at work. There is just no real demand for anything beyond 1G.

The HN crowd is not representative of what would be needed to drive the price tags down on 2.5G stuff.
Part of that is the design of Russian tanks as well. Because of the design of the autoloader they use the turret has to sit on top of the shells in Russian tanks. Other countries use a human loader that puts the shells in an armored box with intentional weaknesses so any fires or explosions have a safer direction to expand than into the crew compartment.
How would you even test such a vague law, let alone disproving it?
> How do you do that though, a popup that asks you if you're over 18? I used to ignore those all the time when I was young. On Facebook I was a 60 years old man playing children games and following the silliest pages.

It would probably be similar to GDPR, and would have the immediate effect of removing a lot of garbage from the internet.
Well at least they did not jump on blockchain bandwagon which is a very good sign!
People don’t have to watch the entire Indiana Jones movie to see that particular sword scene.

The IASIP scene is no where nearly as viral as the Indiana Jones scene anyway. The Indiana Jones clip has higher production value, there’s no talking, it’s shorter, there’s excitement, and a good payoff at the end of it, it has all the ingredients for it to spread across the world no matter what language you speak. It’s timeless, and always relevant.

IASIP drags on, and focuses on school shooters which only resonates with American audiences. They also basically “explain” the entire joke, vs Indiana Jones which simply illustrates it very well.

The arab sword scene will basically be immortal.
Nuclear weapons are 1940s technology. It is not a mystery. What stands between backyard terrorists and nuclear armageddon are problems of scale and material sourcing. You can't gather the required ore and build the required refining infrastructure without the authorities noticing.
I would investigate buying used servers, workstations, desktops. Often you can find them for very cheap and in large quantities.
Mastering Angular: Essential Code Organization Principles
How long is this gonna be up and running? Cases may not be needed. If you're optimizing for cheap; then perhaps motherbaords and CPUs of a couple generations back are a better bet. "Refurb" deals can save a lot of money there.

Of course "cheap" can cost too much: if you need reliability and want it to run first time after assembly, then it might pay to spend more.
> Every time I read articles about functional programming, I feel like I’m being talked down to.

I don't. There are lots of good functional programming resources where the author is polite and civil. Being condescendent is not an attribute of functional programming.

Not unrelated: The House of Saud is losing a lot of money on the Credit Suisse rescue/buyout.
Big deal. I mean I know I am totally incorruptible by the influence of money so I am sure Yellen is as well. I mean, she has to make a living, right? Right? RIGHT? I mean if we stop her from getting this money what will happen when I become important and want, I mean, need these speaking fees to put food on my table? Do you literally want to starve Yellen's grandchildren????

(Either people do not know I was being sarcastic or I will become very depressed.)
Tangent to the Wordle tool posted. Is PerThirtySix a reference to FiveThirtyEight? The latter must be one of the most well-known brands in the sports analytics space. Or is 36 an important number in sports?
What are you trying to optimize for? Solely the initial cost of hardware? Power consumption? Is there some performance target, task that needs to complete in X minutes, etc?

For example, I might suggest buying used Lenovo Tiny M75q's on eBay. The Ryzen 3400GE is significantly slower than your Ryzen 4500, but also lower TDP and very cheap procurement cost. Also fits your "smaller the better" wish. No ECC, though.
I train market mix model for high level attribution for US companies and it usually looks like TikTok doesn't have a strong impact on revenue compared to how much is spend on it. Might be that there is some reason that the model doesn't view them as strong and I am planning to carry out a couple of incrementality tests to see how true that is.
500 - the number of employees before your CEO becomes a political figure

1000 - the size of company when you’re at risk of losing accountability

From my own experience and other sources (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35206141) those numbers seem too high. I've seen this happen 2 times in front of my eyes while both companies were in the 100-200 range.

One of them managed to go to the next level and adapt to the new reality the other is still struggling.
Its not software? Its a LLM model which doesn't have any copyright, and I doubt they obtained it via a facebook service, they probably just torrented it so they wouldn't have needed to agree to any terms for a service they were never provided.
I mean, I understand your scepticism given OpenAI.

OpenAI was misleading from the start, even before they changed from non-profit to "capped" for profit. Hopefully being spawned from Mozilla gives this new outfit a better ethos.
pseudo-panspermia, the blocks of life comes from space, but life emerges in a planet.
What is Firefox? Mozilla took Netscape stripped it to bare components and made them better. Why not do that again? Take Chromium, strip it to bare components and make them better.

We need a hard fork of Chromium today or it will happen in the future anyway.
Thanks, what does making sense mean? Be logically coherent (eg a paragraph of text in a document?)

And does the training then create windows of ngrams on those chunks? Or what is the input/output?

The reason I ask: If I had question/answer pairs, the question is the input, the answer is the output.

What is the "output" when the input is just a (logically coherent) chunk of text?
There are a substantial number of existing aircraft that are safe to operate on a subset of automotive gasoline (93 octane, ethanol-free). The FAA says to do so legally requires the purchase of a supplemental type certificate for thousands of dollars.

There's no inspection or modification of the aircraft. It's just a piece of paper. The FAA could fix the problem for those aircraft with the stroke of a pen.
Wouldn't that result in the same final ranking?
Cloud vs. on prem is going to come down basically to your duration of use and average/peak utilization ratio. For instance, if you want to run large parallel experiments 1 hour a day then 23 hours a day your compute is sitting idle then that will favor cloud more. Fundamentally on-prem you incur capital costs proportional to peak use whereas cloud opex is proportional to average use.

Once you have your intended compute lifecycle figured out you can compute the cloud cost and hardware cost and compare. Given you’re mentioning k8s I’m assuming this might be a continuous load in which case you’d amortize your hardware capital costs much faster.
Banks as collateral damage in a class war
You should try using a larger model like llama-35b or even GPT-3 for the feedback. That way you might be able to condense knowledge from these really big models into a smaller model
Very interesting! I’ll check it out — it looks quite promising as a solution
Is that the opposite?

It's an alternative explanation, but I'm not sure if this is evidence against panspermia either.
So why did you decide to change it?
so what you’re saying is that there’s a major bank out there that could pay out all - or even half of - its deposits right now?
To think people said highly paid developer positions would be plentiful forever...

What happens to HN when software engineering is just viewed as a typical job no longer associated with startup culture?
I am grateful whenever someone takes its time to show other ways to get things done. Using those techniques is optional, but at least I know they exist.

One's toolbelt doesn't ever have enough tools.
In addition to the sibling comment, social work is one of the highest burnout rate fields. Anecdotally, none of the LMSWs I know are still practicing, one I'm close with has changed careers to agriculture and prefers working as a farmhand to social work, despite having a MSW and state license.
Seems to me you're missing the forest for the trees.

"The Market" is the spontaneous order generated by millions of individual transactions seeking equilibrium.

Individual traders can fail, be greedy, or succeed, and the market as a whole still balances out.

Think of it like a biotope pond, which exists and naturally adjusts to all sorts of conditions, and think of the Federal Reserve and Banks lending practices as a corporation dumping 40 metric tons of mislabled organic fair-trade ketchup into that pond.

Too much of even a good thing, still poisons the system.
> Also I believe that if every school kid had a gun there would be lot less bullying

Yes, and a lot more shootings. IMO the same applies to nukes. If every country had nukes then they'd be less conventional warfare, but a lot more nuclear bombings. It only takes one person to decide it's a good idea.
Checkout Vietnam. I'm not saying they love us or want to emulate us but given the history relations between Vietnam and the U.S. are amazingly good.

I appreciate blowback arguments but drawing a line from A to B to C is easier once you get to C - when you're at at A it's pretty impossible.
Seems like season 3 of white lotus and Cristobal Tapia de Veer should work these blobs into the opening of the show.
