This should probably be flagged, if I'm not mistaken. It is as out of place here on hacker news as an article about drag queen story hour or the school children's book assignments with fellatio.

It is partisan and highly selective about the facts. Besides, the title appears to be clickbait.

It doesn't quote any parents saying their reasons for being upset, or even their lawyers, and the quotes it does have make it clear that the lessons will continue to be taught. It has all the hallmarks of someone taking a scrap of truth and then fabricating a story for partisan sensationalization.

There is a lot more going on here, and the article goes out of its way to avoid presenting the information and obscuring; but even the information they do present makes it clear that the title is clickbait.

Yeah it must be demoralizing to know the community is executing at a level they simply can't achieve. Maybe that calls into question the need for their existence or their mission.

We have had this feature operational against Huggingface models (pre-RLHF advancements) but didn't launch it because it was very brittle. ChatGPT (gpt-turbo-3.5) works reasonably well but GPT4 can handle complexit much better.

More importantly, the set of formulas we support are not always one to one with Excel. We try to keep them the same but sometimes improvements and additions are needed. So we have to feed in a pretty complex prompt with a bunch of context (like source and destination types, schemas, validations etc.). With GPT4, we can do this with less explanations and higher accuracy.
In one case the total was £4.90 I gave them a £10 note. Quickly I added a 20p coin so they could give me £5.10

10 - 4.90 = 5.10. Why was another 20 involved?

Edit: I'm guessing the total was 5.10, so you gave 10.20 to get 5.10 back.
They should, and since they work for a government agency, they do regardless of the union. If they don't like how their department is run, the can work to elect politicians who support their department.

The true issue with public unions is that they can elect their own bosses. There can't be good-faith negotiation if the position of the "boss" is dependent on supporting the union.

I see a lot of millenial/gen z commenters complaining that the previous generations were able to build wealth by buying affordable homes and watching them appreciate faster than inflation. And they want in on the same deal. It's simply not possible. For one, we haven't built housing to keep pace with population growth which skews supply and demand. NIMBYs are a big reason why. Secondly, in order for a home to be a valuable investment, it must by definition become less affordable for the next generation. Otherwise, it's not increasing the wealth of the owner. The only sustainable option is to match supply to demand such that houses pace or even lag inflation which makes them no longer be a viable store of wealth and instead remain affordable and available to everyone. The Boomers got a sweet deal and realistically, no one should ever get that deal again.

The problem AI search has is monetization, openAI can't run gpu server farms to serve 100M customers for free forever. This was a problem that plagued early google as well, sergey and larry were against using ads for monetization, but in the end that i what drove the business to profitability
I call it a disembodied politician.

The amount of willingness to confidently bullshit you while virtue signaling offense when you call it out is almost laughable.
Many, but not all: an example of unfavorable economic conditions for rich is real estate bubble burst (2008). Rich own real estate disproportionally to low and middle class.
> Of course the issue isn't reproducible; Google is trying to do the search based on their model of what you want back.

There could also be other things that make it non-reproducible as well.

It sometimes feels like search just returns whatever it has on hand that seems somewhat similar to your search. It may then do an asynchronous request to pull into cache results from a deeper backend search, but by the time the frontend gets them you've already been served your results. Subsequent searches from other people for the same terms would then get better results than you did, so this sort of optimization would on average improve search quality even if quality is poor for the first searcher.

I have no idea if search engines actually do this. But it seems to explain some of their more mysterious behavior, like immediately returning a bunch of results that have nothing to do with your search terms.

"It was only after the election, when Volcker knew Carter had lost, that he really clamped down on the money supply. This illustrates an important point: Presidents get the Fed policy they want, no matter how “independent” the Fed may be. If there had been any doubt about this, it was settled in 1967, when Fed Chairman William McChesney Martin buckled under pressure from Lyndon Johnson and eased monetary policy even though Martin knew he should be tightening. This caused inflation to jump from 3 percent in 1967 to 4.7 percent in 1968 and 6.2 percent in 1969."

And:

"Few people now remember how much pressure there was on Reagan to get rid of Volcker and have the Fed run a more accommodating monetary policy. Yet Reagan not only supported Volcker publicly, he appointed like-minded people to the Fed whenever he had the chance. He reappointed Volcker to the chairmanship in 1983 and appointed Alan Greenspan to replace him in 1987.

The result of the Fed’s tight money policy was a far faster reduction in inflation than most economists thought feasible. From 12.5 percent in 1980, inflation fell to 8.9 percent in 1981 and 3.8 percent in 1982. It is difficult to explain just how remarkable this achievement was. Most economists would have considered it impossible in 1980, especially given the big 1981 tax cut, which economists schooled in Keynesian economics generally viewed as pouring gasoline on the fires of inflation."
Those products are even worse because they get redesigned on a ongoing basis.
I think we overestimate the extent to which organizations are aligned and making cohesive decisions based on economics.
Do you have Plus? chatGPT was annoying when I was using the free version - I would have to keep logging in again and again and the service was unreliable.

Ever since I switched the Plus, it's (usually) always on and doesn't log me out.

Makes it much easier to use as a general search engine
Amazing that you were able to bring class divide that inflation fosters without mentioning the major responsible for it: the government and central banks.

In fact, inflation is, in its current form, a tax levied by the government on all citizens--rich and poor. You are correct that the rich can find ways to hedge some of the effects of inflation, but that's expected as the rich have way more disposable income.

I just want to know for how long people will close their eyes to these policies (green energy stimulus, self-inflicted supply chain bottlenecks, QE and bailouts to ultra rich and party donors via deposit bailout).

Reverse Anecdote: I've had a lot of bad experiences w/ AC, though they generally do better than AA or Delta.

I'll also give AC credit: they have to fly a lot of not great routes as a national mandate, and that means cutting corners to make things profitable; the challenges of flag carriers, etc. etc.
Sundar should be fired. Google has blown its lead in AI research by being too hesitant to release products, while search quality has continued to decline. Bard is poor compared to ChatGPT 3.5, let alone GPT-4.
As a counterpoint, I tried asking Bard to give me angles on a triangle. Middle-school level geometry. It failed repeatedly. Every time I pointed out why it was wrong it gave me another wrong answer. When I gave it the answer, it spit it back to me only wrongly.
There's a post on /r/askhistorians where somebody asked ChatGPT for book recommendations on various historical topics. Some of them didn't exist. It actually took an expert reader to identify which books were made up, misatributed, and so on. That's much worse than nothing: it's a horrific timewaste.

My guess is stuff like math, where you can fairly easilly verify the factuality of ChatGPT's answers, is an area where you could certainly see progress. More general stuff like history, where it's important to have a really firm grasp of facts, inutition, and nuance, ChatGPT will likely be hard to improve, and worse, much harder to verify. Worse, these things can be insiduous: if you've learned something straightforwardly wrong, it corrupts future conclusions drawn from that erroneous premise.
I think you could actually get them to accept a new strategy with open arms, where everybody needs to have some Google watcher process installed that checks and reports back what you do with the search results (I don't think unless the target website imports Google JS scripts too it can't track any more?) and more specifically, your body reaction to see how you feel. "It's necessary for better search results!"
Ask HN: What have academics who study entrepreneurship learned?
I see a lot of startup advice combing from founders who've walked the walk, accelerators like YCombinator, and platforms like Indie Hackers. However, I also know that there are academics who study entrepreneurship.

Maybe I'm just not hanging out in the right corners of the internet, but I rarely see things coming from them. Two questions: 1) What are the important things they have learned? 2) What are some good resources for learning more about their findings?
On the contrary, I think there will be a chatgpt generation of kids who understand exactly to take these outputs with a huge grain of salt, while there will be a cohort of currently-adult people who are so used to believing almost anything written in text that they will do the same with ai outputs.

Votes matter a lot less in an FPTP voting system, and the point about media division and ownership plays into the fact that people can easily be mislead into voting against their own interests.

Not sure if you are aware of the little old B word which was proven to have been based on a campaign of lies.

As for your remark about robots replacing shelf stackers and cleaners. I’ll leave that as the ill-informed and provocative comment it is.

Regarding government funding, governments spend public tax payer money, yes. Political parties receive their funding from private donors who ultimately end up expecting some kind of payback for their donation/bribe. Which ultimately comes out of the tax payer’s pocket.

This creates a cyclic system which is built to extract wealth from the bottom and middle classes in order to feed it back to the society’s richest people.
If someone asked you how much gasoline to drink for a week of energy you'd probably ask for some context. It's a shitty question, it shouldn't really get an answer.

I think ultimately, we're going to have a dark age where the AIs are driving for a while. My prediction is that it'll last until society learns something we're overlooking about intelligence unlike ourselves. I prefer the open-source scenario, not because I'm sure it would be less pleasant but because I'm sure it wouldn't last as long.

LLMs will be end for portion of programmers for sure. We all know people at our companies who aren't in this for passion, but for a pay check. And while so far it has been fine to code just for a pay check their time is up. We soon won't be needing code monkeys who just produce OK code, we will need people who actually know what they are doing and are passionate about what they do.

We still need actual experts to vet the code LLMs produce and to choose the optimal solutions. This is what senior devs have done so far with junior and mid level devs always. There are people who can write code, but someone needs to review and approve what they have done.

Obviously LLMs will also eat into that space, but before we come up with AGI LLMs alone won't be able to completely replace humans in software.
I don't find Bing's search any better than Google, but importantly, I don't find it any worse.

GPT4 is going to do what Hawaii five-o, Bing Rewards, integrating windows search with Bing, and setting Bing as the default search engine for Edge on Windows never could. Make people use Bing over Google.

I've already set it as my default search engine across my devices as I move to cut Google out of my life entirely. I simply don't feel the need to use any of their services anymore. Their moat is gone.

The only downside I have noticed is that Bing Maps is a pretty bad service relative to Google Maps or Apple Maps and I will go out of my way to avoid using Bing Maps. Good mapping being integrated into a search engine is actually a pretty big deal since it's nice to use a search engine as a front-end for a mapping service, so this is a significant weakness.
Google results are trash compared to years ago but better than bing trash now
The grocery store near me sells a bigger box of multigrain Cheerios for less than the smaller box. The smaller box is on the eye level shelf, and the bigger box is on the bottom shelf, you have to bend down to get to it.

It has been like this for years. It is not just cheaper by unit, the whole box is just straight cheaper, but I can only assume people do not want to bend down? Even the prices are clearly visible from standing position.
Maybe this will get Fuchsia going.
The issue was relatively minor in the grand scheme of things, but the "it was a bug in an open source library, so not our fault" attitude from the CEO, especially when addressing a user data leak, is concerning.

Instead of blame deflection, the communication users (and companies) want to hear is – "it was our fault, and we are overhauling our security and vendor audit process to make sure it doesn't happen again."

I had over 100k points lol.
A couple of years ago I attended an introductory course on scheme. about halfway through the second or third lesson one of the students objected on religious grounds to the example presented by the instructor, which simulated some basic statistical operations involving a deck of cards. This guy proceeded to file a complaint with some review board and the course had to be modified to avoid mentioning anything to do with hands or sets of playing cards. Not even games, just groupings of shuffled cards.

But similar examples featuring probabilities of outcomes in a relay race were deemed suitable despite the obvious nerfing of the model required to set the capabilities of all runners to be equal.
Just FYI for non-Americans...most Americans are insured and doctors visits don't cost 10k. Major surgeries might, but your insurance usually caps at a certain number in the 2-8k range for the whole year.

Not saying the system isn't bad, but 10k for a doctor's visit is kind of a stretch...
It sounds like you've exhausted things like recommendations from people you know in real life and on social media. There are a ton of Facebook groups for any and all medical situations. People in a suitable FB group might be able to provide you with all sorts of advice. If you live in a densely populated area, that can make it harder to find a good doctor. In areas with less population density, the pace of life is slower, and there's less competition for resources (and health care is a resource). If you live in the USA, you can browse the link below where you can set the location and the types of expertise you want. I hope you quickly find a doctor who can solve your problem. In the past, I've had my own medical struggles, and on multiple occasions I've been astounded by what finally solved a seemingly intractable medical condition.

I mean I have tested such things many times over the years. I'm no stranger to Redis cache bugs. Being a professional means expecting more of yourself.
Taking this to the logical extreme are things that can only be experienced. E.g. I can read about oysters, but I will never be able to understand what an oyster tastes like until I eat one... until I experience it.

When communicating, the more the topic involves an experience the harder it is to communicate. We use metaphor, simile, and analogies to help people relate it to something with which they are familiar, but it fails for many reasons. When building a prototype for a new camera system, we began with a physical mock up which was cut from wood and painted. The client's first comment was that is was garbage because no one would take a wooden camera seriously. Even after an hour-long presentation, his final comment was "This all sounds great, but it absolutely cannot be made out of wood." Some people have terribly abstraction skills, and there's simply no getting through to them until they see the final product. They need the experience to understand.
But seriously, which Kiwi?
I'm stoked by the idea that NL processing is suddenly becoming much more accessible and powerful. Old, boring static text documents are suddenly "coming alive". Imagine what this means not just for software engineering, but for all engineering, and even if not a single one of these documents is generated by a LLM.
It's incredible, a lot of people in developed countries are thinking like argentinians now. In Argentina, the propagandist media companies that belong to politicians do everything in their hands to blame anyone for inflation, except for money printing policies dictated by politicians. And we have over 100% anual inflation.
Printing Money == Borrowing Money in our modern banking systems. And borrowing is often exactly how this gets funded.

Also, it's not just about the money supply. It's about who has the money and what they do with it.

Taking money from a rich person who might have had it tied up in stock, and giving it to a poor person who takes it to the grocery store - will not put anything more on the shelves in that grocery store. In the aggregate, it MUST do one of those three things. It may ALSO decrease the price of stock as it's sold by the rich people.

Clearly the economy is complicated, and it's hard to follow around the money. That's why I like to get back to fundamentals. Not even economics, but basically physics: We can't consume what isn't produced. Money is to some degree beside the point. If we want people (of any class) to have more stuff, then we must allow for that stuff to be produced.
It sounds exactly like the Silicon Valley excuse we all know and love.

Sorry your account's been shut down, it must have been the silly algorithm/silly source code/silly engineers in the workshop again!

When you're making a tool that could quite likely change the course of how people use and interact with computers, these excuses don't fly.

Hope it doesn't happen again, but the old mantra of "move fast, break things, apologize later" seems to apply here just like with every other SV company.
For simple calculations no, for more complicated calculations yes. Trying to determine in advance if a Llm can do the math "in its head" is a task unto itself that pretty much boils down to sampling multiple responses and seeing if it produces different answers. So it's often just easier (and cheaper) to make it use a calculator for everything and not have to worry.
That sounds plausible. There could be some service aggregating search results from multiple systems, and if one of them is slow (maybe breaking some SLA), it would be omitted.

I guess there are probably a hundred Google employees reading this who know whether it’s accurate and we’re just speculating.
The person I'm replying to is arguing that their source code itself is the secrets they're trying to protect.
If I have to check each reference, what's the added value compared to just giving me a list of links (i.e. a good old search engine)?

Chat search tools are only useful if (when?) they achieve a 99.99% reliability (I'm fine with one mistake per 1000 searches).
You forgot to say they are racists and nazis.

How about giving some arguments?
I love this concept. Let's forgive the delete button implementation. I get the spirit of what the author was trying to do. I am all for juicer UX.

I can't think of a large scale public construction project recently, in any domain. Everything's contracted out. In Seattle for example you see the exact same contractors building stuff for Google and Sound Transit.
If you ask an idiot what he thinks about something, and he gives you a totally wrong answer, you have still learned at least one fact: a person believes a thing. As a human, living in a democracy, that has some worth. ChatGPT's wrong answer has absolutely no value at all.

Further, 10 different smart people will give 10 different answers because they have coherent worldviews and biases and proclivities, so by accounting for those, you can work out what the right answer is. Even if ChatGPT was anywhere close to a human expert when it comes to accuracy (what's the error rate in a peer reviewed journal article?) it would still have no coherent worldview or bias to contextualize its statements.
Fair warning though, just because they're there doesn't mean it is legal for you to download them, depending on what country you live in.
It’s even worse. I’ve been using ChatGPT a lot in situations that’d be Google searches before and I love how you can fill in so much detail and it will actually provide you with better results. With Google, additional detail is actually used against you. With enough keywords, it will match just about any site to your query.
