I can't say I've seen <random state law> written with a "there's no exception to a strongly-held religious belief" within the text. I'm not aware of a general-blanket language that would apply to any and every law in my state, either (and I'm in one of those states where the 'unaffiliated' make up a sizable portion of the population).

Have any of the abortion ban laws been written with any language that would invalidate challenges based on religion, i.e. The Satanic Temple.
It's like WYSIWYG web page tools. It will increase accessibility to APIs for less technically inclined people, but for a technical person trying to make a sophisticated product, it'll just get in their way.

The same can be said for higher level vs lower level languages.

We're constantly creating new abstractions for our tooling to make the computers do what we want to do, but we've never gotten rid of the need for people to get underneath that tooling and get down a layer or two or three of abstraction.

My expectation is the pattern repeats, way more people get into this game, wages for people higher in the stack go down as their skillset gets democratized (e.g., that guy in the late 90s who knew HTML), and those that know how to peak under the covers become less needed numerically, but more essential when the rubber meets the road.
Those would be roughly similar. The main difference would be between dynamically typed interpreted languages and statically typed compiled ones I guess. At least I think I make less mistakes when the compiler literally tells me what's wrong before I even run the thing. It's awful and slow to develop that way, but it is more reliable for when that's a requirement.

So compared to ones like Kotlin or Rust.
We are a small team of new software developer. Just a member, and as such there's no definite roles.

Who cares about a few reboots? You can reboot a workstation overnight and if you have a single point of failure in your production system the reboot ain't the problem.
I second that. On few occasions kernel update in Fedora on my Dell XPS from 2016 cannot boot. The last time it was an upstream regression that was not fixed for months. In the mean time a bad WiFi bug was discovered. I could in theory compiled my own kernel with a fix but without the boot regression, but I rather decided to use Debian. At least they do backport fixes
> willingness to engage in a war the US and Taiwan might very well lose (badly) with Americans dying

Not drag and drop like WinForms, but there are suites of components you can buy that serve the same purpose. A common look and feel across the page you build. Similarities in how they work.

DevExpress and Telerik spring to mind.

What's interesting about these is that they have corresponding WinForms components as the companies began their lives as WinForms or Borland component builders for desktop.

Your analogy is different from the situation we're presented with here.
The question I answered is why converting to kcal is nonsensical. Yes it's just a different unit but... Kcal is nowadays used for things you eat (and exercise because it makes sense to use the same unit), it doesn't really make sense to convert radioactive material to that unit.
Agreed...

Sometimes it feels like the site is being astroturfed with progressive / class warfare type messages.

Othertimes I feel it's just the same old "eternal september" problem but with techies, a bunch of young idealistic kids fresh out of college who tend to think in black and white terms of "us" vs "them". I remember being this way as a teenager, not quite sure when I grew out of it.

I remember listening to punk rock and advocating for "anarchy" etc (I'm sure I got the idea listening to too much Sex Pistols)... SMH... We all took ourselves and our political views sooooo seriously at that age.... Thank god no one was listening to me back then. The difference between then and now is that my conversations were in person and shared amongst a few high school kids, now they're broadcast to the world, commented on, and amplified.

The more I think about it, I'm hoping its just kids being kids.
> Tiktok's lobbying tops $5.4M in 2022 as it brings its charm offensive to Congress

https://www.npr.org/2023/03/22/1165249928/tiktok-congress-he...

Their head lobbyist (Michael Beckerman) was seated right behind the CEO during testimony. He leads their government relations office in DC.
In addition, Apple is notoriously slower at adopting the most cutting edge technologies but historically they tend to consider things very thoughtfully and rolls them out in beautiful launches (not always).

Examples would be the fact that Samsung almost always beats them to the punch on camera technology and other whiz-bang features, but Apple eventually adopts to much mass market consumer acclaim and groans from Android techies. Another example is they’re just now considering touch screen on laptops.

A counter example is the TouchBar - which was “innovative” but many didn’t like.
I agree. You only need to be done dirty once, then you'll remember.

I signed up to the Bing GPT "beta" waitlist (I hadn't logged into my Microsoft account in years) only to be told, days later, that I had to use Edge to try it. I noped out of there.
That's such a great point, and it reminds me of when image generation first was becoming mainstream. How quickly the consensus shifted from "only humans can do it, I mean look at how awful the face is" to this existential unease as more was released and things improved.

It's going to be really interesting to see where the gradual changes happen, where we redefine concepts. I'm optimistic on that front, I don't think it's all doom and gloom and convenience does have major upsides. However I also believe that it's going to be really challenging for a lot of people if we just blindly keep walking forward without any sort of checks and balances.

I'm more than a bit irritated that the inflation news push out just the annual number and do not show how the acrual CPI index has developed. As an example, euro area headline inflation has been practically zero since october [1], and yet only thing you see in the news and ECB commentaries is the YoY number scaremongering.

In theory there should be a setting within the BIOS that should allow you to disable any sort of automatic BIOS updating. Unfortunately, I can't speak to Dell machines, but the HP ones I manage have a "Lock BIOS Version" setting I can use.
Really helpful, thank you. Still don’t see the problem, other than the need to educate kids on digital hygiene. But like anything, I bet they already know the harms of overconsumption.
They can learn from the outcomes of their actions, even if they can only act in a Python REPL or a game, because that would be easy to scale. But interfacing LLMs with external systems and people is an even better source of feedback. In other words create their own experiences and learn from them.
> Energy price surges caused by the Ukraine war

Do you mean the sanctions our rulers voluntarily chose to impose on that sector? Or is there something intrinsic to the war that would have that effect?
The Bing AI is too crippled. It would be nice to have the option to remove its handcuffs. The chat limit and the constant “I’m sorry but I cannot continue this line of conversation” gets annoying fast. I was also able to get better answers from ChatGpt running on gpt3 than on Bing running on gpt4 for this very reason.
> Suffering racism hurts more than being called racist - those are not the same

First -- no one said this. No one has made the argument that suffering racism isn't awful. You hold a mistaken and caricatured view of most conservatives.

Second -- it's not a particularly conservative value to want to hear what a federal judge has to say to a classroom of law students. If you absolutely can't stand what a judge has to say, try to a form a question that might confound the judge, and which might demonstrate why you think they are wrong. That's one remedy for a law student. You can also choose not to attend. You can attend, and hold up a sign that shows your discontent. You can do any number of things, but one of them is not what amounts to a heckler's veto of a federal judge.

Why? Because it's important liberal judges can speak to law students in Nebraska and Oklahoma and Mississippi without being shouted down. Because, although you may have already made up your mind about everything, persuasion, reasoned debate, and an open exchange of ideas matters to others of us. It's profoundly selfish to make the choice for me about what speech I should be able to listen to.

Judge Duncan is not my cup of tea, but this illiberal strain of "progressivism" is certainly not it either.
Really depends on your use case though. If you're always going to be working on your own machine, of course customize it to make yourself maximally productive. But if you're regularly going into new situations, it's good to know how to be effective with tools you can count on being there.

My (admittedly very lame) anology: you're hiring a ninja assassin and have two candidates. One tells you about all the special swords and staffs and and smoke bombs he carries, the other says I just need my hands. Who do you hire?

To answer that, first one must define “better.”

Honestly these numbers are worse than I was expecting for Bing. Can they maintain these numbers when they’re not releasing new products people want to try?

I think parent is talking about the US COVID bills that provided liquidity to the stock market and checks to households.

Did UK also do something like that?

We are also still seeing supply chain problems here that started during COVID. Consumption didn't cease during COVID, but production did, so there is a massive backlog. Not speaking retail consumption, but industrial and government orgs also consume resources like equipment, machines, etc. And those assets are seeing persistent backlogs, especially domestic production as US is fully employed and no room to increase production.
You can sue but you can't extract anything from them for violating the license, so its toothless and a net loss for the person or org suing.

Lora seems to be a method to fine-tune and optimize the weights of models like Alpaca. It is not a different dataset.

This reduces model sizes and therefore also compute costs.

Thank you for posting the content of the actual books. It’s kind of funny to me that people upthread are upset about the ‘blowjob’ scene when the characters involved immediately decide it’s not very exciting after all. Not exactly the hedonistic lgbt recruitment pamphlet they were trying to conjure in the imagination. Maybe telling kids that realistically sex is just a bit weird and gross and boring is more effective than banning it, who knows!
Never thought of that. We'll definitely try it. Thanks!
I don't know, but I would not be too surprised if local / smaller producers are a bit better represented for restaurants. In any case, profit margin should not be sensitive to this.

This is one of my major concerns with ChatGPT, and I'm not sure why it hasn't been discussed more. StackOverflow is a massively useful resource, to be sure, but it takes knowledge to wade through the outdated (or just plain bad) answers. StackOverflow can be a useful starting point, but I don't think I have ever copy/pasted code directly from StackOverflow. I don't think any LLM will be able to replace the skill of reading the docs and learning your tools.

I have no doubt that ChatGPT will become even better than StackOverflow at answering questions. Is this really going to make us better programmers?
> Is this really the place to proselytize?

You offered suicide as a solution. I appeal for an equal chance to offer solace in anything up to and including that level of finality.

> But they are precisely that: your beliefs...I don't share them...they do not give you standing to say that my assumptions about what comes after death are wrong.

Actually my beliefs do exactly give me standing to say something about this. Unlike a belief in... well, a belief that nobody knows.

Lastly let me lovingly point out it is strange to find comfort in a pistol if you truly believe nobody knows... seems to me like you would do like any other gambler and hedge your bets, instead of leaning hard in one direction. But hey, I've acted irrationally before too. I get it.

I think this is cool, but it's on the range of complexity that I would expect from a personal project. When you put a whole organization behind it, I feel you could have provided something extra - better datasets? Improved weights from a ton of training?

Holy fuck.

I don't see how people can see stuff like that and say "oh, it's just a fancy Markov chain generator" or "it can't reason". Even if that stuff is nominally true, how can people not be totally blown away by this? Just a couple years ago I think people would have been amazed that it can have totally natural, grammatically correct conversations. Moreover, for nearly 3/4 of a century the scientific community has pretty much coalesced on only using the output to define intelligence (aka the Turing Test). While I understand that ChatGPT may not 100% be there yet, I see no reason to believe that all this interaction people are having with it won't be fed back into it to drastically improve its responses over time.

That is the one thing I wish it had was a timer. Was thinking about replacing the flip switch with a turn knob style timer.
Censorship isn't what's right though, so you should applaud this.
I own both the Switch and the Steam Deck and use neither regularly. I use my PSP Vita and Gameboy Micro much more frequently because they are easier to carry around, and both system are hacked wide open. I have friends with keychains larger than the GB Micro. I wish we would go back to more portable systems, and I feel like the Steam Deck is a step in the wrong direction because of it's bulk.

> You certainly get paid well at those firms (except for one of the A’s) but you won’t learn anything transferable because those firms are profitable because of monopolies (F, G, and 1.5 A’s) or over capitalization (N, half an A, look at the case of Uber, it is easy to sell a lot of half price taxi rides but it doesn’t make money in the long term.)

this is 100% inaccurate and misleading. big tech pay has been 2-3x many other place. even with drop in equity, sr sde at company like amazon earning $400k-450k a year, principal engineer over $650k.

the one big benefit of big tech is ability to learn and grow. they literally incentivize building large scale system to get promoted, even if it mean we now have 2, 3, or 4 thing solve same problem and you new version inferior in some capability.

im big critic of big tech especially amazon me former employer. my post history should prove it. but this post off the mark.

you want to learn and make ton of money? yeah go to big tech. but do not delude youself about doing something positive for world, or that you company care about you, or whatever other fantasy people hold
> Pursue what though?

A Mac variant that trades CPU cores for GPU/ML cores while having 192GB+ of UMA memory.

> I struggle to imagine the “opportunities”

Two of them: 1) academic / R&D compute, where people could have at least A6000 class GPU on the desktop, and 2) cloud inference servers, probably for Apple’s own services.

I’m not saying they will or should do those things, just that the apple silicon arch is well positioned if they choose to. Bolting on exponentially better GPU is not especially difficult, and they’ve got an OS that would bring existing apps and libraries right over.

Look at it this way: is there a path to UMA on Windows / Linux? If not, those systems will always duplicate RAM and require users to decide in advance whether to allocate RAM budget to OS or ML.

Ask HN: ChatGPT Thinks Its 2020?
Just queried what year it is, and it thinks it's 2020. Is this on purpose?
Actually its the opposite. Digital media makes it far easier to copy, redistribute and modify, hence why there's so many restrictions placed on it.

If I wanted to sell my Beatles LP I could do it no problem, because reproduction of it (now bear with the metaphor here) is more difficult and time consuming. Hell, even bootlegging it (which is illegal) would be an order of magnitude more difficult because I'd need to set up the equipment to do it and there's a cost of of entry associated with that. Scarcity of supply affects demand yadda yadda.

Digital? Just a few clicks. That's their problem. The fundamental shift to digital media has removed all these barriers hence completely removing scarcity from the equation. They can't control the scarcity. They can't control their product. Once its out that's it and that makes it fundamentally "worthless" in their eyes. And so here we are with laws passed that try to fight the inevitable: helplessly maintain control of their withering walled garden.

Don't pity them. These motherfuckers don't deserve it. Not with how they treat their artists like cattle, or how they happily got away with printing albums with one good song and 13 dogshit tracks. Now they try to muscle in on live shows which are the only way artists make money.

It IS a race-to-the-bottom.

Products will be cheaper because they will be cheaper to produce thanks to automation. But less jobs mean less people to buy stuff, if it weren't for a credit-based society.

But I'm talking from my ass. I don't even know if there are less jobs than before. Everything seems to point that there are more jobs now than 50 years ago.

I'm just saying I feel like the telephone operators. They got replaced by a machine and who knows if they found other jobs.
Folks feast like kings when the cheap money is flowing, failing to realize that eventually the tab comes due.

It's what you're seeing happening in Silicon Valley right now.

Usually a reality check occurs every decade or so, bringing heads back down to Earth, but I think too many felt that the COVID lockdown lows in the markets were that reset. They then went right back to their old habits, after a brief pause.

Just thinking about how long it took to recover from 2000, 2008, etc., it's obvious that we didn't truly have that reset.

The lockdowns fundamentally changed a lot, but few people seem to want to acknowledge it. The effects of the lockdowns will been seen for a long time, I honestly do believe.

Just my take on it all.
