It's more like the F35 over promises and under delivers compared to what it is expected to replace. The F15 comes with a 20,000 hour airframe, while the F35 comes with a 8000 hour airframe. The F15 can get to target much faster, much farther, and still have fuel to do something when it gets there. The F15 can carry 12 AIM-120s (or 24 depending), while the F35 can carry 4. The F15's a great interceptor. The F35 is a great aircraft, but too expensive and limited to operate in that role.

The following article analyzes the F15EX buy that is being debated as compared to the F35.

Two off the top of my head:

- Chilling effect on political discussions. Good luck campaigning to overturn these laws if you can't do so without fear of reprisal from government officials or your local community.

- Limiting the ability for marginalized groups to seek support; LGBTQ youth, ex-mormons, etc., would be directly harmed by this.
The F-35 has been proven in simulations with aggressor squadrons. The Air Force does that all the time: real aircraft in the air, real pilots, real weapons, they just don't actually shoot them for obvious reasons. But they have other ways of simulating kills.

https://www.businessinsider.com/f-22-pilot-describes-going-u...

Here's what a F-22 pilot (!) had to say about the F-35.

"It is challenging, even flying the Raptor, to have good [situational awareness] on where the F-35s are," he said.

Bowlds said that inserting F-35 aggressors into Red Flag made things "more challenging because there is a little bit of an unknown in terms of what they are going to be able to do."

Additionally, "red air detects are happening at further ranges," Bowlds explained. "It inherently poses more of a threat to allied blue-air forces than older aggressors," such as the fourth-generation F-16s.

The F-35s "have better detection capabilities kind of against everybody just because of their new radar and the avionics they have," he said. "It definitely adds a level of complexity."
>And it doesn't matter.

It matters insofar as determining whether something is intelligent and/or sentient, which is critical to determining whether this "AI" should be conferred human rights or not.
I don't think it'll be 10 or 20 years. I think it'll be more like 2% of good jobs (or 10%+ in random sectors) will disappear on a yearly basis for the next 50 years.
If you add stocks to your watchlist it will populate the empty whitespace with a table containing Watchlist Movers.
The resources required are peanuts compared to funding of moderate silicon valley startups. There are estimates of GPT-4 training run priced around 10e6$

There is no culture of trusting engineers with this kind of money almost everywhere except a few orgs like openai, that's for sure.

And if we ask "why is such culture in place" we get a long tail of answers, one of them in the link above.
There's also https://neuters.de, a Nitter-like alternative frontend for Reuters.
Humans know things and they know those things because they experience and act in the world. ChatGPT knows nothing about the world, if it can be said to know anything at all, all it would know is what we say about the world, nothing about it.
Social media is toxic and addicting. Kids hardly stand a chance against it.
While I understand social expectations run in cycles, families are smaller, costs higher, etc. McMansions had a moment. Unless there are reasonable ways to divide them (e.g., family w/ an apartment for older parent(s)) to me it seems unlikely that moment will happen again soon.

How do you know they did it on purpose? Taking smiling pictures with wreckage after the fact is horrific but not evidence of intent.
> Humans experience time

And? So what?

> Humans have agency.

Which is what exactly? You are living in a physical universe bound by physical laws. For any other system we somehow accept that it will obey physical laws and there will not be a spontaneous change, so why are we holding humans to different standards? If we grow up and accept that free will does not actually exist, then all agency is is our brain trying to coordinate the cacophony of all different circuits arguing (cf Cognitive Dissonance). Once the cacophony is over, the ensemble has "made" a decision.

>But I can also choose to pause and think about my response.

Today ChatGPT 3.5 asked me to elaborate. This is already more than a non insignificant segment of the population is capable. ChatGPT 4.0 has been doing this for a while.

What you describe as pausing and thinking is exactly letting your circuits run for longer - which again - is a decision made by said circuits who then informed your internal time keeper that "you" made said decision.

> I can choose to say “I don’t know”.

So does ChatGPT 4.0, and ChatGPT3.5. I have experienced it multiple times at this point.

> I can choose to wait and let the question percolate in my mind as I experience time and other inputs.

So do proposed models. In fact, many of the "issues" are resolved if we allow the model to issue multiple subsequent responses, effectively increasing its context, just as you are.

So what's the difference?
It drives engagement which means greater impact.
You mean the “contributing” part of OSS?
> Isn't this the opposite though? They're not telling people how to live their lives.

Is this not exactly them telling people how to live their lives? "Live offline."
This is what I wonder as well. We are told to "prepare" for the reality of AI taking our jobs soon, but how? What is the alternative field that will be a) safe from automation for a while and b) pay similarly to a CS/IT career? I haven't found the answer to this. We were told to get a higher education and go into "white collar" fields, and now we're told we were stupid for believing that these jobs would have a future. Seems very cynical.
I work remotely. This axiom is going to give interesting results if you ask my colleagues whether I'm a GPT. I tend to overqualify statements and want to be precise in understanding others. (It gets me into needless discussions and other trouble. I'm not even sure how to work on it but I'm trying.) But anyway, the point is that this might false positive on me and it reminds me of google and cloudflare captchas which tend to do the same for me :(
When asked about performance implications, it gives fairly shallow generic explanations, it doesn’t do true “deep dives”, these are just built from training data of other explanations.

There is no “getting better” from this. If you gave a monkey a type writer and it occasionally typed words randomly you wouldn’t say “Wow this is just what it can do now, imagine several years out!”
It still doesn't make sense. This whole ordeal has taken place over about 6 months. If anything, forcing me down the surgery route has pulled their costs forward in time, not pushed them back.
I answered that. If someone has your webhook either people will spam it which means it's best to have it deleted or private information is being sent over it in which it's best to delete it.

It's like if AWS had a public end point to invalidate access keys. If access keys are public they will be used for abuse, so it benefits everyone if anyone can report these access keys to AWS to have them deactivated.
As long as it never works out it's a replicant we'll be ok
Which I find intensely funny, because it’s forced on all EU IP addresses as an ostensible downgrade, but since they’ve added a decent CSS snippet to limit the line width I actually find it superior to the “full” version.
A comedic take at the same topic: "A Disrupter's POV on the Silicon Valley Bank Collapse" <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A13erYPcDVI> by Michael Kosta (The Daily Show).
Great excuse to ignore the warnings and use AI to police the populace!
Read the Microsoft Research paper on GPT-4. Some extremely intelligent behavior emerged from just text that has nothing to do with the text it was trained on.
To start with, most of the copyright holders are actually dead since copyright right now is very long. That's going to be hard to state that you are preventing new Beatles songs by pirating the Beatles, they are not going to produce any new songs, regardless of what you do.

Then in economics, free is different from any other price (even 1 cent), they have different behaviour and cannot be used interchangeably as demonstrated again and again during research. So no, your example is wrong, those people wouldn't have bought the song anyway and the total revenue from those people would be zero.
There weren't exactly fewer jobs in textiles after the industrialization the original luddites were against. The jobs were just much, much crappier. (And more of them were filled by children).

They weren't "scared it's going to take their jobs" -- they were _seeing_ the jobs they had _actually disappear_ (not hypothetical future fear), replaced by worse-paying jobs with much worse conditions. They were exactly right that their actual lives were going to get a lot harder.

From a recent Cory Doctorow post: https://doctorow.medium.com/gig-work-is-the-opposite-of-stea... :

> Despite what you may have heard, the Luddites weren’t technophobes. They were skilled workers, expert high tech machine operators who supplied the world with fine textiles. Thanks to a high degree of labor organization through craft guilds, the workers received a fair share of the profit from their labors. They worked hard, but they earned enough through their labors to enjoy lives of dignity and comfort.

> Nineteenth century textile workers enjoyed a high degree of personal autonomy. Their machines were in their homes and they worked surrounded by family and friends, away from the oversight of the rich merchants who brought their goods to market. This was the original “cottage industry.”

> The factory owners who built their “dark, Satanic mills” weren’t interested in making life easier for textile workers by automating their labor. They wanted to make workers’ lives harder.

> Textile machines were valued because they were easier to operate than the hand-looms that preceded them, and that meant that workers who wanted a fair wage for a fair day’s work could be fired and replaced with new workers, without the logistical hassle of the multi-year apprenticeship demanded by the hand-loom and its brethren.

> As Brian Merchant documents in Blood in the Machine, his stunning, forthcoming history of the Luddites, the factory owners of the industrial revolution wanted machines so simple that children could work them, because that would let them pick over England’s orphanages, tricking young kids to come work in their factories for ten and twelve hour days.

> These children were indentured for a period of ten years, starved and mercilessly beaten when they missed quota. The machines routinely maimed or killed them. One of these children, Robert Blincoe, survived to write a bestselling memoir detailing the horrifying life of the factory owners’ child slaves, inspiring Dickens to write Oliver Twist.
Go create a “system” with GPT. You’re going to see a ton of, “I’m sorry, you’re right, the SQL statement is referencing a column that doesn’t exist.” Etc…

Right now, it’s amazing for getting some boilerplate very quickly (so is create-react-app, etc).

It’s bad at context as the problem grows and very bad at subtle nuances.

Working with GPT today is like having a super fast and somewhat sloppy developer sitting next to you.

“Shipping” anything it creates means a LOT of review to make sure no false assumptions are present.

I have been “writing code” with it nonstop for weeks now.

Yes, it’s incredible, but it also has serious limitations (at least for now).
I think the question here is how to check for that based on produced output, not whether it's secretly sentient or whatever the correct term is.
I imagine GP is talking about PRISM:

PRISM is a code name for a program under which the United States National Security Agency (NSA) collects internet communications from various U.S. internet companies. The program is also known by the SIGAD US-984XN. PRISM collects stored internet communications based on demands made to internet companies such as Google LLC under Section 702 of the FISA Amendments Act of 2008 to turn over any data that match court-approved search terms. Among other things, the NSA can use these PRISM requests to target communications that were encrypted when they traveled across the internet backbone, to focus on stored data that telecommunication filtering systems discarded earlier, and to get data that is easier to handle.

And probably sourced the steel out-of-country, as they have for other things.
Jacob Ziv (LZ77) has died
Two month after the death of his collaberator Abraham Lempel. RIP :(
Not sure.

It seems plausible that human intelligence could originally have started as a trajectory prediction system for catching prey and/or avoiding being eaten, that evolution has preserved and generalised over the aeons. In which case, at root, how different?
A workaround that works locally (and only locally) is to build zfs-dkms (AUR) yourself and modify it so it doesn't break on these GPL-only symbols. While the licenses would forbid distributing it as such, you can do so on your own machine just fine.

And if your root is on ZFS, make a snapshot before updating! I set up a pacman hook[0] which runs zfs_autobackup[1] which automatically manages snapshots, so I can always easily roll back to a non-broken state. The ZFSBootMenu[2] bootloader makes that extremely fast without even needing a bootable USB-drive. :)

Navigating the paradoxes of IT startup development
Creating an IT startup is like participating in a survival race. Competition in the technology industry is high, and any mistake can mean the end of your business. One of the main paradoxes of IT startup development is balancing innovation and sustainability.

On the one hand, to attract investment and develop a product, it is necessary to be innovative and keep up with the times. On the other hand, a business needs to be sustainable and profitable, and for that, it is necessary to have a long-term plan and not take too many risks.

However, the need to maintain a balance between innovation and sustainability is not the only paradox. Another is the tradeoff between quality and speed of product development. On the one hand, it is necessary to create a quality product that will be competitive in the market. On the other hand, the longer the product is in development, the more risks and expenses, which can lead to delays in the market.

To succeed, IT startups need to manage their resources effectively. It is necessary to choose the right strategy and improve processes to maximize efficiency and reduce risks. For this, various management technologies such as Agile, Scrum, and Lean can be used to help overcome the paradoxes of IT startup development.

In conclusion, IT startups need to be prepared to fight paradoxes and constantly seek a balance between innovation and sustainability, as well as between quality and speed of development. Effective resource management and the use of modern management technologies can help startups overcome these paradoxes and achieve success in their industry.
I’m in favor of autonomy for adults but yeah, that might be a better world.
Commenting to save in my history, this is right up my alley
Canadian regulations invariable follows US regulations. So in this case yes the FAA would have to make the change too.
In some sense, I'm not sure intelligent/sentient is all that important when separated from what we think requires intelligence/sentience. I think we attribute less and less to sentience these days and its feels like its less part of the conversation as a result.
Arestovych is basically a pundit. He admitted he doesn't have any insider access to military information, he just aggregates official releases and rumors into some coherent view.

There were many attacks on civilian objects before and after - in fact it seems like 90% of Russian targets are civilian. So I don't think there's any reason to treat that Dnipro attack as something special
It's also cartel behavior and detrimental to the wider economy. Just because "many oil-dependent and oil-producing countries" does this doesn't justify it.
Interesting choices.

Are there any languages which have concurrency semantics like Go?
Depends what you mean by Russian? If you mean someone who's first language is Russian, then not much will change.
> whereas the AI will only make false statements by ignorance.

Is that true? In their tests, ChatGPT reasoned that it should lie to the TaskRabbit employee about whether or not it was a robot.
You can shut down someones rational mind simply by getting them deeply emotional or stressed. Any primal emotion works: fear, lust, anger, anxiety, shame, etc.

All of the nerds complaining about GPT-4 not being perfect aren’t talking about it from the perspective of “conferring it human rights”. It’s all about implying that it not being [insert nebulous word like “Intelligent” or “creative”] somehow makes it useless or a gimmick.
Okay so for the first time since GT5u it looks like real development is being made in the form of GTCEu. I played through the community modpack (sibling repo) pre-steam age yesterday and I gotta say they have really nailed the quest book and balance. I recommend it for anyone interested.

HN keeps automatically replacing the URL. It used to be a redirect before, but not anymore
Absurd objection. Tech platforms are obviously the only ones capable of moderating their users at an application level.

Should we remove content filters on YouTube and ask parents to filter content instead?
How do you know it was "defund the police" and not COVID upending our world?
Presumably the "giving parents full access to online accounts" part. It isn't difficult to imagine scenarios in which a minor is "outed" because a parent exercises their power under the law.
How can you give human rights to an entity that isn't human?
What does your experience say about that?
To give that plain link a bit of context, the abstract is:

> Conservatism and cognitive ability are negatively correlated. The evidence is based on 1254 community college students and 1600 foreign students seeking entry to United States' universities. At the individual level of analysis, conservatism scores correlate negatively with SAT, Vocabulary, and Analogy test scores. At the national level of analysis, conservatism scores correlate negatively with measures of education (e.g., gross enrollment at primary, secondary, and tertiary levels) and performance on mathematics and reading assessments from the PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment) project. They also correlate with components of the Failed States Index and several other measures of economic and political development of nations. Conservatism scores have higher correlations with economic and political measures than estimated IQ scores.
This can work with MAC address translation (NAT, but on a lower level) and connection tracking. Not exactly a great solution. Alternatively, you can have one association with the access point per device, which is what some off-the-shelf repeaters do. Drivers often limit these to very low numbers.

This wasn't possible in the past either. There's WDS (4-address mode) and some drivers that did what I describe above under the hood. That's it.
I am reminded of the Antikythera mechanism here. It's fascinating to think that computing technology has been around so long, its just that transistors allowed for its rapid advancement and higher level logic programming. But we could still do a lot without silicone parts.
It's mentioned in the article under "Other Sites".
This has me scratching my head too
Most of the AI implementation in the US bakes in various illegal practices and basically AI washes them.
I don’t think that’s where this goes. I think this leads to less internet use in general. Just like when Apple broke Facebook’s mobile tracking the ad dollars dried up and forced Facebook to scramble to find a new tracking mechanism which most agree is subpar and thus that revenue hasn’t returned. I’m hopeful that people spend less time in anonymized spaces that aren’t conducive to healthy discussion and relationships and instead seek out each other in real life.
Interesting analogy.

Have you ever tried to squeeze a firehose shut without turning off the water first?
Sad this is tainted by the current US-china conflict on chip manufacturing.

But there are good guys everywhere (and bad too), and anything pushing a world-wide royalty free modern ISA toward "real-life" usage does its part.

I hope one day I'll buy a AAA game, with a noscript/basic (x)html browser and play it on highly performant RISC-V CPU.

Don't forget, the bad guys hate simple but able to do a good enough job, stable in time standards.
This is honestly so interesting to me because I feel like I have the exact opposite experience. I have never experienced the level of hype there is for LLMs both here on HN and in society at large. I see people talking about how amazing they are, how they will replace everyone in a matter of years and even achieve super intelligence. I see people argue strongly against even the mildest LLM skepticism. I use these tools every day because they are useful but I'm also blown away by how often the answers are completely wrong, like not even close. I sometimes feel like I am crazy or everyone is using an entirely different product to me.

But the fact that you feel the exact opposite shows that maybe this is just an artifact of cognitive bias.
I can respect that position. I tend to be very in favor of autonomy for older kids/adolescents because I think going from 0 to 100 and having them be 18 and fully responsible is going to result in bad decisions. Like we see with drinking, or if we gave kids driver's licenses at 18 with no education. They need a period of time when they have autonomy but also support and some people around them to veto things or else they can't learn to make good decisions.
>Just asking out of curiosity: Why not a Ryzen 16-Core CPU + 128GB RAM and then VMs / containers everywhere?

It will be harder to simulate failure there to see how the system behaves in such a case. You could just remove ethernet cable or remove a power cable, and see how it reacts.
Pleas Stop Training Giant Language Models
The dominant opinion in this thread seems to be that OP has no reason to be sad that they can no longer get a job doing what they love, because... someone else will probably get a job doing something else instead?
This seems very promising. Have you considered adding an RSS feed?
But that's not what would happen:

> Utah has become the first US state to require social media firms get parental consent for children to use their apps and verify users are at least 18.

> The bills also impose a social media curfew that blocks children's access between 22:30 and 06:30, unless adjusted by their parents.

So there would very much be something you could do about it, and your kids would find out.

You're still the quote-unquote bad guys. You still have to, gasp, parent.
