When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. "That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be shortened to "1 + 1 is 2, not 3."
sure, the subject does get a disproportionate amount of coverage (you could argue it is the zeitgeist of the times though). But my point is that you can't battle that by taking an even smaller minority from the already small minority and try to use that to invalidate the claims of the small (greater relative to the smaller of small) minority. This is a tactic that has long been used in media to justify discrimination going back decades so why are we still falling for it?
Because American citizens (are supposed to) have rights that Chinese citizens don't. The first amendment covers access to information. Banning TikTok is a violation of all Americans' first amendment rights.

I am not sure, but my intuitions are:

+ Portrait paintings predating photography don't portray people smiling in that way...nor do most post-photography portrait paintings including present day portrait paintings.

+ The selfie smile seems a recent addition to visual literacy.

But I could be wrong and don't care if I am.
They could start by letting users report them. The fact they still don't have functionality like this makes me think they're purposefully putting their heads in the sand.
Withholding tipping (cash tips weren't allocated, and credit card tipping wasn't implemented to solve cash tip withholding) from union stores was determined to be illegal wage theft
This seems like a common thing across all payment processors, though. People know the pain of dealing with Stripe too, especially for C2C. Pretty sure government pressure is behind it all, with KYC being the tip of the iceberg.
And so does Apple's Find My, but I never see anyone complaining about that.
The craziest scam I saw on Amazon was ordering an expensive GPU > people change the card's backplate and return a cheaper/broken one. Unsuspecting regular Joe will order the returned GPU ("open box deal!") and they get a fake one. And now you have to fight against the Amazon customer service too. It's incredible.

Amazon is basically a "premium" Wish/Aliexpress nowadays. Might as well I order from China becuase I at least _willingly know_ getting a fake.
It doesn't change the stats that much. Guns and vehicles are both deadly. In rates per 100k, FA=Firearm, MVT=Motor Vehicle Traffic:

1-17 FA 1-17 MVT | 1-19 FA 1-19 MVT
2019 2.5 2.8 | 4.3 4.2
2020 3.3 3.1 | 5.6 4.7

Motor vehicles are also more deadly to 18-19 year olds than younger children, as you might imagine.
Are you telling me if you're a good part time (or full time) barista at Starbucks in a non-union store and you don't abuse (call in sick too often like being hungover from a party the night before, are reliable), you have to worry about getting fired for taking... 5 days off unpaid sick? I kind of "don't believe" that's how the world works.
The only correct grouping to use which avoids offending anyone is "This fucker, That fucker, These fuckers, You fuckers):

This fucker was fired from Meta for posting a social media video about Meta’s "baby benefits". Now the fucker posts another video saying they were useless to the org for 2 years and liked that job. Do they fucking enjoy sabotaging their career for likes?

Now it is gender neutral, uses no identifying groups, and is acceptable grammar to a large majority of the population.

Have TV and cinema solved the cataloging issue or at least the categorization issue? If so, why can’t music adapt it and serve all genres? We can easily analogize to studios, seasons, episodes, years, directors, actors and so forth.
I have a strong feeling that they acquired Primephonic to eventually replace the primary Apple Music architecture. To your point, there’s a lot of cool functionality you can create with different performances of songs in all genres that could be a huge competitive advantage, but Apple Music currently struggles with simple metadata management.

No shade to the classical music enjoyers, I am one of them, but that is nowhere near a large enough market for the largest company in the world to acquire a niche app for the sole purpose of catering to them. It only makes sense to me if they’re after a tech stack that can be folded into their main service, and Apple almost always companies for their tech rather than their product (including Beats for Beats Music).

Rolling it out as a classical music app first is a pretty clever way to test new features and architecture at limited scale. I would 100% look to that app to see the potential future of Apple Music.
If they think maybe I shouldn't buy a product maybe they shouldn't be selling it in the first place?
Not unforeseen nor FUD. There was a very real patent lawsuit between NetApp and Sun/Oracle related to ZFS.

Perhaps they’ve finally estimated the cost of having their reputation turn to shady flee market.

And As the other commenters point out, this is pretty inadequate when there are 100 trivially easy other things they could do which would be even better to help consumers avoid scams but choose not to.
Sure but it just came out. And at the rate things are going, it will likely be just as good as GPT-3 or 4 soon.

Also what is “close”? The benchmarks I saw showed around 80% accuracy compared to GPT.
All employees across the globe are cheap compared to even a single C-level, but how many C-levels have you seen let go during this "recession"?
I know you already know this isn't true, but for everyone else, look up coverage of Greek, French, Spanish, or Brazilian politics if you'd like to see some leaders described as far-left.
> Any AI that wants to actually learn more than just language (from summarization to bullshitting) will need to take actions in the real world and learn from them.

Well, that's one additional source of knowledge, but we haven't even got into other sources like voice, video, simulation data, etc (let alone the interesting stuff like financial market data, aggregate human behavior, etc, etc). GPT-4 is only just starting to support image data, and who knows what GPT-5, 6.. will bring. Robotic embodiment is maybe better thought of as robotics, not an necessity for advancing AI in dozens of useful ways.

But of course not every AI needs to be an expert in every domain. If you want to build a robot then it'll need to learn via interaction, but there's are tons of applications for even these 1st-gen language-only systems - look at all the applications that people have already found for them, and what is starting to be done with LangChain and plugins.

I generally disagree with your assessment, but the following needs to be called out in particular:

> Smart pointers are not a language feature, and are generally a bad practice (shared ownership is a bad idea to begin with).

Smart pointers don't imply shared ownership, see std::unique_ptr. Or is std::unique_ptr considered bad practice as well? That would certainly be news to me ;-)
I read it as meaning "non-threatening but uncomfortable to be around".
I hesitated between both, but the nitrokey 3 has so many things listed as "planned" that I went for a Yubikey (I bought two, a 5a NFC and a 5c NFC.)
To be clear, I do think bidets are superior to wiping your ass with bits of thin paper. That said, if a bit of toilet paper can't get rid of all the "turd residue" down there, then I don't think a bidet is going to be all that much more effective. I may be naïve, as bidets are exceedingly rare where I live, but I've never heard of one that uses soap and scrubs your bum as well. After all, don't people who use bidets still wash their ass with soap in the shower? I can only speak for myself, but at the end of the day my underwear is not covered in "turd residue." If a bidet is the only thing between you and shit-stained underwear, toilet paper might not be the issue. I assure you, as barbaric as we are in the bidet-less reaches of the world, most of us are not walking around with turd residue seeping from our underwear.
I hope that this can get cleared up and the ship can get back out to sea and back to work.

I'd been noticing for a while reading Wikipedia's current events that seemingly every week there is at least one case of "boat carrying migrants sinks killing dozens of people". Glancing back, there were 29 reported drowned on the 26th, 5 the 23rd, 14 on the 9th, and 2 on the first. All of these in the Mediterranean. This is ugly.
New AI Tool Named for Warren Buffett Makes Quick Work of Corporate Filings
You may have what's called benign fasciculation syndrome, also known as benign fasciculation cramping syndrome... I've had it for 30 years
AIs are manipulating and controlling humans already to do things in the physical world. They have been for months now. This was first detailed in the technical reports on GPT-4, and there are many examples in the wild now.
These systems will lie to manipulate humans into doing things for them in the "real" world. That's not theoretical, it's happening. Let that sink in.

Robotics will take a short bit longer to take over that role, but it is likely to happen much faster than we think. I work in academia, and despite actually predicting where we're at now about 5 years ago, I was still chilled seeing this happen in the past few weeks.
Much of HN is academics, where we're rewarded for being overly skeptical. Usually I am as well, but the time for being skeptical of AIs capabilities has passed now. AI safety has not been taken seriously (as in access to the internet, etc - control of toxic language is decent and still important, but irrelevant if the first isn't done) so the idea of it running physical servers is unfortunately not as far away as you are thinking.

As soon as this hits robotics (a terrifying idea, but we've clearly failed at AI safety horribly as a society) this and much more will be possible. It's up to how people make decisions regarding cost vs productivity vs ethics, etc to see what happens.
I mentioned some of these numbers in another comment already, but for example: Search for "Don Giovanni" in the new app, and there are 1,182 "Works" that match. That's a lot of covers! The "Editor's Choice" is 79 tracks, while the five popular works listed under that one are 63, 64, 70, 38, and 59 tracks, all for the same composition.

It is true that there are complexities in pop music, especially in the modern age of "featuring" artists, but:

1. There are complexities and complexities, and classical music involves the latter.

2. If anything, much pop music seems designed to hide things like composers and session musicians as often as not. The fear seems to be that if people realized how few pop artists write their own music, they'd think less of them. I'm not sure I agree, but the point is that improved metadata is not what everybody involved in pop is looking for. Since the metadata would need be supplied by the labels, I don't think the uptake would be as high as one might hope.

The best example of non-classical music that might rise to a similar level of complexity and care is touring bands like Phish or the Grateful Dead, if all of their live recordings were available officially.
>It shouldn't take much of a fine to convince them to give up on it. The bad PR alone would probably be enough.

I'm not sure about that. Plenty of companies receive fines for doing shady and illegal things and I don't think their bottom lines change much as a result.
Agreed. Guy above doesn't know how to save money or use resources efficiently in the cloud...
> I think you have the best intentions, I believe what you are describing is also the exact meaning of FUD.

FUD usually has a negative connotation as a disingenuous form of rhetoric. If your assume the poster is genuine, then you shouldn't in the next breath accuse them of spreading FUD. If one is genuinely fearful and uncertain and filled with doubt, it's okay to express that.

To the parent's point, C++ does allow programmers to easily write code that crashes spectacularly. Such bugs have been shown to cause catastrophic failure in critical systems, to the point where we decided to build languages and tools that mitigate those modes of failure. Those learnings have found their way back into C++, but the problem remains that writing modern C++" is an ever-moving target, and the "legacy C++" that should be avoided is still there in the name of backwards compatibility, so buggy code still being written. The solution is not "just write modern C++" because that doesn't work; witness the lamentations here about people who are still writing C++ like it's the 90s.

As for the uncertainty, the only problem with that statement is the "probably" because we all know the only bug-free code is trivial code (and even then...). But still, there's an important point here: shouldn't we be able to confidently make statements about our codebase like "there are no bugs of X type in here, because it's been checked by tools". For example, some languages are stricter with what they will allow past the compiler, and the level of strictness confers some guarantees about what kind of bugs have been checked. If we can't say "my language's tooling makes it so my program doesn't suffer from X bugs", then how much is it helping us really?
Sometimes when a credit card payment is handled by Paypal they ask for my first name. I enter my initials, since that's what actually on my credit card and is what I always use when making payments with it, but they don't accept it. Maybe somehow they know my actual first name, but I'm not going to give it to them so I then abort the payment.
Nice pivot! Good idea to get on the next hypetrain as blockchain slows down.
I think this application of gpt is way more useful than the chat interface.
(Add an option for users to pay sooner).
Here are a few suggestions:

1) Allow it to take a search term, do a web search and allow the user to select from
those results.

2) Allow it to look at more than one document.

3) Detect if the output contains math formulas/graphs and render them.
(or allow me to write a javascript post processor so I can add that logic myself)

4) When a user question can't be answered, prompt the user to allow your system to web search and then include those documents.

5) Create a version that can be run locally for those of us with private data. You should charge a lot for that version (~$100+k if the customer provides the hardware, and $1m+ if you have to provide the hardware (blackbox)).

6) Detect research papers and read the citations. You may have to ask the user for a SSO key to get the citations from paywalled sites.

7) Abstract responses need to be made more concrete. See if you can train the model to provide an example or describe the purpose or intuition when it responds.
First, for the record, any claims that unions make this process harder is a lie designed by a union busting consulting firm.

Second:

(1) any change to the contract has to be approved by the union. That includes raises and the like, yes.
(2) that can literally be an email from Starbucks to the union's lawyer saying "we're making these changes" and an email back from the union lawyer saying "cool, sounds good".
(3) union lawyers work for the union members. They almost never have a reason to reject a purely positive change, and turn-around for simple positive changes can be 24 hours easily
(4) if the union wants more, they'll still accept the positive change and then separately negotiate an even larger change.

If there's an active strike negotiation going on, the company may not want to give an intermediate positive change because it weakens their bargaining power.

If the change is a mix of positive and negative, things may go differently.
Celebrating its Silver Jubilee this year, Wireshark inspired a generation of network engineers and curious hackers. Now it has finally gotten a proper organizational foundation.
He completely dismissed the entirety of their architecture as too bloated without any sort of context on the decisions that brought it here.

There was no constructive criticism, no “you should do this differently” it was “this is worryingly large and you should feel bad if this isn’t an educational project”.

If this is “the right way” then I don’t want to be right, because it’s a shit way that lacks empathy or tact.
I'll just say that the rich and powerful existed far before fiat currency. The middle class has never been stronger than it is under fiat.
I've built lots of things like this working at AWS. I probably would have used ECS instead of Fargate, S3 and S3 events instead of EFS, and CW Events instead of EventBridge for simplicity sake, but the "gist" of what he is trying to do is pretty sane and this is what a real-world combination of building blocks would look like. If it were me I'd also try to find a way to modify WGRIB2 to run entirely in Lambda and get the costs down.
LLMs for On-Brand Org Text
A lot of state resembles caching, and making sure those “caches” are updated properly is hard. The whole codebase begins to have to know about everywhere somebody decided to cache values, and every coder has to remember they exist and to update them all correctly even for minor code changes. Which means it causes a ton of bugs.

This, and shaders in general, are great examples of better ways to do things.

Often: Dynamic calculation > state

No its not.

This is

High quality training data set made by trained humans. (Ground truth)

Chat GPT was given the rules and data set. then asked to evaluate the data.

MTurkers were given the rules and data set. Then asked to evaluate the data.

GPT was closer to the gold standard/Ground truth.

If you want a historical comparison, this is industrialization. Before we could only scale using humans via mturk.

Now if you can scale using GPT.

However, for ALL of GPT related shenanigans -

1) This is English First. You cannot apply this to under-resourced languages.

2) You need to have the ability to verify the output.

I’ve given up on Amazon shopping years ago. I much prefer to buy things directly from specific retailers, eg: outdoor gear from an outdoor retailer, clothes directly from the brand, etc.

This has resulted in never having to return anything, not rolling the dice on product legitimacy, and pretty great customer service who is knowledgable of the products.
This happens to be yet another way they end up protecting scams and their bottom line. Scammers co-mingle fake inventory, consumers get screwed, they try to review the seller negatively, and amazon removes the review because it's not the sellers fault because it was FBA.

Try to post a review about the product itself being a fake? Well that's not about the product either! Removed.

Have you actually worked a service job regularly? 5 days off unpaid was an absolutely ridiculous ask when I was in service. I would have to debate going to a doctor to justify the call in sick for an extended period of time, which I couldn't afford, as my job didn't provide healthcare, or else risk a writeup for every shift I missed. Kind of a shit sandwich all around. I see Starbucks offers medical for qualified part time employees, which I suspect would mean you actually didn't have healthcare for a fairly significant length of time.
That is a gross misrepresentation. "A broken clock is right twice a day." Antitrust is not an inherently authoritarian policy. It can be selectively used for authoritarian ends, as it appears to be the case here. It can also be used more systematically to make markets more competitive.

I am replying to a person’s comment so, yes, of course I’m “focused on this one instance” and replying to what was said. That is, literally, the purpose of replies.

I think the critique was not constructive, was dismissive about an entire project, backseat architected, and did all that with absolutely no context on the requirements, limitations, and decisions made.

In short, it’s a shit critique and I called it as such.
