> Interesting. This would mean that they actually have the data to confirm whether it is correct.

I don’t find that surprising. I’ve hired a private investigator in the past. The amount of data US consumer reporting agencies have goes back decades. They will happily sell it to you as long as you agree not to use data older than regulatory thresholds. Credit reporting tends to have 5-7 year thresholds, so many people think that’s all they have. They keep it for much longer, and just make you agree you won’t use data older than the applicable threshold.

The reports I gotten from my PI have had biographical data going back to the late eighties. They’ve even provided SSNs and DOBs with nothing more than a name and general address match.

The use case is people who do not qualify for a traditional 2% cash back or equivalent credit card. Surely Apple does want people who can pay their Apple BNPL debt per the schedule.
I felt the same way when I was growing up. Having a car changed everything. I really wish that I could have had that freedom without having to chain myself to an expensive and dangerous hunk of metal. Public transit, bikable, and walkable neighborhoods would save us so much time and stress and free those that cannot drive themselves.
Cool - I have been looking forward to this since the first rumors of it possibly being a thing started to circulate.
Right now, we have misconfiguration (your cspm stuff) and identity features (e.g. privilege escalation / identity-based attack paths).

We're launching in a week more identity-based features (i.e. an IAM evaluation / simulation engine that tells you who has access to what)

Workload protection (e.g. vuln scanning and secret scanning) are in progress next!

ChatGPT was a tipping point.
Kudos on the app. It looks and feels great.

May I suggest to add a ‘long press’ on the theme to lock it?

There's an interesting project along those lines here:

https://mace.software/

Sadly, the source isn't available (yet?), but there are some demo executables available.
I have to imagine they coded in some stop-gap like 3 domains per unique visitor or something, otherwise even legitimate window shoppers could ruin them.

That said, if anyone has a bot net they're not using...
I used it a bit recently and it is brilliant. Instead of lugging a huge TeX installation around you have a single reasonably sized binary. When you run ’tectonic file.tex’ it will download everything it needs on the fly. If you want to run it without internet access you can sort of freeze the downloaded files and run tectonic with your *.tex plus the frozen bundle.

It also claims reasonable error messages but I only ran it on error-free files, so I cannot tell.

One small downside is that in my direct comparison with lualatex it was always marginally slower.

Another one is that it is not a rewrite but still based on the old TeX code.

I think tectonic is a great project but generally speaking I find it quite disappointing that we do not have 100% compatible LaTeX with a modern codebase. And that is not even because the old code is bad - not at all. It's just that a pure Rust or Java implementation would make it so much easier to integrate into other projects. An audited TeX core we could run on untrusted input would be another benefit.

Which brings me to my last point: When researching tectonic I found a fork that attempted a pure Rust port and it nearly worked with examples. There is hope...*
I do not think Apple negotiated with every merchant that accepts Apple Pay for a higher fee for Apple BNPL payment. The fact that any Apple Pay transaction qualifies makes me think the regular payment processing fee for a credit card is what Goldman Sachs/Apple get.
Yes, yes, yes, but I will defend to the death for their right to say it! Free speech means accepting speech one doesn't want to hear, especially if it leads to outcomes one doesn't desire.

I'm inclined to say you're trying to answer a question with the same question.

If you confidently believe that love is an illusion because it's just chemicals moving around, you shouldn't need to wonder about consciousness. If consciousness is not an illusion, it still almost certainly emerges from actions in the physical world. You can plug somebody into an FMRI and see that neurons are lighting up when they see the color blue. I just don't think that's convincing evidence that the experience of blue is an illusion.
If it was the case, and it isn't, people would use the LLMs themselves and not pay top dollar for an intern to copy their question in chat gbt
That's my impression of it as well however it still leads to crazy hours and a shitton of work. My friend ended up going to sleep 5am for many consecutive days.
Congrats on the launch!

Few questions/thoughts:
- What kind of overheads do you have right now with calling this API?

- What scales have you pressure-tested this with? Demo seems to show few 100s of embeddings. Selfishly, I'd like to see a demo of handling 10M+ vectors to be reasonably certain that any company can truly build infrastructure in this context. I guess I'm more interested in the out-of-core applications where I can really shove all my data in here, and see if the system can handle it.

- (dovetails with the previous one): What kind of access patterns are you seeing today, more indie developers pushing few 1000s of vectors into a DB or some heavy users pushing 100K-1M+ vectors.

- Less of a question, but one thought would be to partner with labeling companies to automatically fine-tune embeddings as part of a single embeddings-management platform.

- Would you eventually look to build your own vector DB + metadata / features stores as part of the long-term strategy or try to integrate with existing ones?
The title is based on the numbers from a recent analysis by Goldman Sachs. Given all the speculation we've had on HN, it's nice to finally see some numbers that are a little more concrete regarding the possible economic impacts of tools like ChatGPT.

Noteworthy pull-quote:

> Most people would see less than half of their workload automated and would probably continue in their jobs, with some of their time freed up for more productive activities.

> In the US, this should apply to 63 per cent of the workforce, they calculated. A further 30 per cent working in physical or outdoor jobs would be unaffected, although their work might be susceptible to other forms of automation.

> But about 7 per cent of US workers are in jobs where at least half of their tasks could be done by generative AI and are vulnerable to replacement.

> Goldman said its research pointed to a similar impact in Europe. At a global level, since manual jobs are a bigger share of employment in the developing world, it estimates about a fifth of work could be done by AI — or about 300mn full-time jobs across big economies.
My point (theory) is that Mastercard isn't offering them a big enough volume discount. If they could pay 0.1% I doubt they would exclude MC even if it meant losing out on some Costco credit card accounts.

Not technically a senior, although I have filled that role before and have over 10 years experience.

I generally leave for a different team. There's never been any appetite to tackle significant technical debt due to the constant push for more deliveries.

If it's a small part of the team's work, then possibly working to improve it or just learn to live with it. Stuff like automation scripts can help if it's something repetitive. Almost nothing has helped with code quality though. A lot of that has to due with the lack of time to do in depth code reviews, having a tight schedule to meet so you shoehorn the feature in with minimal refactoring, etc. I hate it, but that's the way it is.
Looking at their charts it seems like their 6.7B model is considerably worse than GPT-J which is an existing open 6B model from several years ago.

I wish rather than stopping training early they would have run more data through a small model so we could have something more competitive with LLaMA 7B.
And what do those statistics have to do with the:

"Anytime I need a car in Europe, I just use an app and walk a couple minutes to the nearest electric car."

That sentence is completely untrue for large majority of Europeans who need a car to drive.

I do all my business via PayPal, and have done so for 20 years. No mandatory funds hold. My account is cleared monthly, but I could have chosen daily (that screws with my own personally accounting). $200k/year transaction volume.

Too many people generalize specific stories or their own PP experience to all of PP.
You don't get that message if you ask an unfiltered model. You can't even really remove information or behavior through fine tuning, as jailbreaks demonstrate. You simply reduce the frequency it openly displays those ingrained traits.
Except that you can't work with a tourist visa? Seems like a major difference.
I think there's a very good reason we're sandboxed from a lot of that - it's additional cognitive load that 99% of the time just creates noise. We're built for processing that much data by walling most of it off and letting sub processes deal with it all over the place. It would probably grind us to a halt.
Ask HN: How does your team answer “What's shipping?”
How clear are exec teams and product leads at your company about what is shipping and when?
If they know, how do they know? Project management tools don't give you a clear sense of what's shipping and when.

How often do you have to answer questions of the nature "hey, when is that thing shipping?", "what's shipping in this next release?" etc.

Even in "loud" music 10 or 12 bit is definitely noticeable. Many modern samplers include a legacy mode meant to mimic the grungy sound of old 10 or 12 bit sampling hardware. It might not be noticeable to non-musicians, but anyone who makes music will hear the difference. Even if you turn off other features that are usually included in tandem, like dac emulators.

I use NixOS as my daily driver on my two workstations, and package manager on my Mabook Pro now.

It's super helpful if you have an extra computer you can reformat and spend a couple months experimenting with NixOS on, learning it, getting it set up just right, and verifying it can do everything you need your main OS to. Nix is great for this kind of rapid experimental iteration with system config, since if something doesn't work you either quickly fix it and make a new build, or just roll back to the prior working build.

The beauty of Nix is, if that succeeds, the declarative config can instantly apply it to your other computer/s too, and fully transition with minimal risk. Then you can use multiple Nix computers in a sort of A-B testing setup, where you test new config options on one till they work, and copy them over to the others only after you're certain they're ready. Repeat.

And if the initial experiment with it doesn't work out for any reason, you still have your non-Nix computer chugging along doing all the things you need it to do.
Someone has to buy Russian gas/oil, as gas/oil prices will skyrocket otherwise. EU and US governments do understand it very well.
If you start designing into the future, you are now trying to make it good before making it work.

Making it work means you start with barebones, just to have a proof of concept that runs, is accessible, is secured, even if you have to click things together and manually ssh into EC2s to launch code. Once you have everything working, then the bigger design should be a lot clearer, in terms of what you have to do to make it good.
Right, a lot of roles in consulting are political, the LLM isn't going to play politics. Companies aren't going to replace consultants with LLMs for their slide decks and advice, because the service the consultants are offering is persuasion.
You're almost there.

This isn't the union failing to negotiate a good deal, or being sticklers about procedure and thus preventing union employees from getting what non-union employees are being given. Starbucks is deliberately using this as a way to sabotage the union, by refusing to even offer them the same terms as non-union employees. This is illegal.

in what way, is it the fees?

If the government is borrowing money or issuing money to pay interest then yes, otherwise no.
That is shocking to me, and you'd be doing everybody else a favor if you let the store know about it, so that guy can be terminated or at least retrained. I've never had an experience anything like that, and I know that's not the norm at Apple stores. Wow!

Yup. Around here, they removed the foam comfort mats from the work areas (behind the register, at the machines, etc.) that were designed to reduce fatigue, foot stress / pain from extended standing.

They said it was a safety issue.

Then it was pointed out that they'd only removed them at the stores where they were unionized or were in the process of doing it, and they had very little explanation for why the mats were safe in non-union stores.
Gpt-4 can do math just fine.

Ask it to add any arbitrary set of random numbers it'd never have seen in its training set and it will do it.

GPT-4 is good enough at math that khan academy feel comfortable hooking it up as a tutor.

Have you actually used GPT-4 for any of the things you say it's bad at ?

Man the confident nonsense people spout on the internet is something to behold.
I am just guessing here, but I think the problem is that even if you redefine a real number as "that which can be written by a program", you cannot write a program that enumerates all such numbers.

That's kinda because different real numbers require programs of different complexity (for any specific complexity, e.g. the number of bytes, there is only a finite number of programs with that complexity), so listing all the real numbers would require infinite complexity, i.e. not a (finite) program.

So there is a countable set of integer, and a set of reals (by the new definition) which is countable (by the usual definition) but cannot be enumerated, so it is technically "uncountable" (by the new definition).

The trick is that if you are changing definitions, you may accidentally also change the definition of "countable". Because it is defined as "that which can be mapped to integers", but the problem is, which mappings are considered legal and which are not. In the world of "only things written by programs exist", only mappings which can be generated by programs exist; which is not the same as all possible mappings, so a few previously countable things now become "uncountable".
There are a lot of people in Bangladesh that are not very happy with Indian domination re: Teesta river, Adani loans, etc. Moreover I think they are more anti-NATO rather than pro-Russia.
People should worry about having small short term loans on their credit report, because it could result in other lenders assessing them as a higher risk and therefore a higher interest rate.

For example, you use Apple BNPL, and then in a couple years you go to buy a house, and they see that you use a BNPL service, and so their underwriting classes you as a higher risk and you could end up paying 100bps more on a mortgage.

But the wording on Apple's website is fine since the whole claim is technically true:

>Users can apply for a loan within Wallet with no impact to their credit.

Which, by the way, is absolute bullcrap. A classic example is an undercover telling people at a methadone clinic that they've been cut off because of a paperwork snafus and begging people to share their legally prescribed methadone so they don't go into withdrawal. Because anyone at a clinic treating drug use has a predisposition to use illegal drugs, it can't be entrapment.

No it wouldn't. A cursory search indicates that about 80 million people have the surname 'bin Laden.' Paypal is an international company. If a name gives you a 1 in 80 million possibility of a connection to terrorism without any other details, it's not actionable. The end.

India being characterized as a member of an Anti Western bloc seems rather far fetched considering their partnership with Washington, against another member of that block (China).
It's interesting how the headline writer chose to include "from China". If the developer had been French of American, would they have included "from France", or "From America"?
>This is extremely incorrect. India is buying Russian gas and cooperating on payment networks to bypass American sanctions

Not participating in western sanctions isn't "providing assistance", it's the default state. That being said, it's interesting that BRICS countries aren't selling weapons to Russia and it has to get them from Iran and North Korea.
"and rarely offer up the name of any better card when asked."

Huh? This is public and searchable information. Even ChatGPT 3.5 can give you a comprehensive answer to "what are the best cash back credit cards?"

It seems like your complaint is that people aren't answering a trivial question. This isn't a valid argumentative position.

The apple card's terms are definitely sub-par. Double the cash back would be competitive with say: https://www.fidelity.com/cash-management/visa-signature-card

Cards that do 5% in special categories are also common.

> Tax companies at 2x the single-taxpayer withholding amount lost per employee displaced....

Nah. Politically, that's completely unrealistic. It also immorally directs too many resources away from the productive parts of society.

We have to balance our pursuit of technology with the need for economic productivity and efficiency.

A more realistic solution is state-sanctioned homeless camps in convenient, out-of-the-way places. Corporate taxes would probably have to increase a bit to pay for security, pacifying drugs, and food; but no more than what's necessary for containment. The camps will of course need to be sex segregated, to avoid wasting resources in perpetuity.
