I tried doing that a couple years ago. The problem with dumb phones (or at least the problem when I researched this several years ago) is that it’s a niche market with high enough demand that all of the products are low-effort, low quality and exorbitantly priced for what you get.

>A young Belgian man recently died by suicide after talking to a chatbot named ELIZA

Is this chatbot named Eliza actually Eliza and not ChatGPT?
Yup, it already started. They bought Ceph and one of first things they did is discontinuing packaging for non-rhel distros
The problem is that you don't have to care about whether you flush or not - that's the problem of the guy using the urinal after you...
It is, just listen to what they think modification of software means:

> To "modify" MinIO means to copy from or adapt all or any part of the work in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an exact copy. The resulting derivative work is sometimes referred to as a "modified version" or we say that it is "based on" the earlier work.
> Passing configuration parameters to a MinIO binary instance constitutes making a modified version, as it does not produce an exact binary copy.

and what derivative works mean:

> Combining MinIO software as part of a larger software stack triggers your GNU AGPL v3 obligations.
> The method of combining does not matter. When MinIO is linked to a larger software stack in any form, including statically, dynamically, pipes, or containerized and invoked remotely, the AGPL v3 applies to your use. What triggers the AGPL v3 obligations is the exchanging data between the larger stack and MinIO.

Needless to say that's all completely wrong and just FUD. I think the FSF should get involved they are damaging free software as a whole. Incredibly scummy company.

It's a huge host of reasons and they all have a tiny cumulative effect. Also after a while it also reaches a tipping point in that "all my friends aren't having kids so why should I".

The reasons vary based on who you ask and their bias. My bias will be obvious. Here's my list:

- War on traditional family values. That includes marriage and having kids.

- War on men.

- Toxic and degenerate pop culture promoted to teens.

- Hookup culture, dating apps, easy and promoted and celebrated divorces

- Daddy government is there aleays to provide a huge cushion for badly picked marriages. For women at least.

- Men are scared away from marriage due to the legal system being skewed against them.

- Promotion and glorification of party culture. Having kids and a stable marriage is Hard. If everything is handed on a platter to you from an early age and you're shielded from the realities and difficulties of life, this is going to seem like a huge life decision that is too hard.

- We don't realize how much our collective fiddling and tweaking with various parts of our world with laws and incentives is having on society and culture. We're fucking it up royally. Just look at how degenerate pop culture is atm, and look at it honestly, and wonder if it's healthy for society on the aggregate.
It was a specific rebuttal to the parent comment which seemed to not understand the reality of resources in vs resources out of animal agriculture. Of course you can caveat a lot about my comment, beef for instance is arguably the most inefficient example of meat you could cite (amongst slightly less inefficient alternatives) but illustrates the problem well. That is the nature of compressing such a complex issue into a small HN comment.

> Why is water consumption an issue perse? What did the 5kg of food consist of? Is that 5kg we humans could've ate? I doubt it. Throughout time we've given our animals scraps which we think is beneath us.

Right - the discussion is about land use. We don't typically eat animal feed but allocate an enormous sq footage that could have been used to grow something we would might like to consume directly.

> Take for example a cow in England eating grass and drinking water which directly came from the rain. What is inherently bad about that?

Agree, we have plentiful access to drinking water in the UK and so have enough to allocate to irrigation and all the other water intensive activities involved to do this. Unfortunately on this particular point, the majority of the beef you eat does not come from here. This issue becomes much more pertinent if you live in say California or Spain.

6 gigabytes of RAM on a phone is hardly stingy, when laptops with 8 gigabytes are still considered reasonable.

Botpress – Build chatbots like ChatGPT for your project
I doubt that it is strictly _needed_. Most C++ programmers will probably live life gloriously without having ever read it. But if you really want to know every nook and cranny of C++ initialisation (which I sincerely hope I will never want) then it seems like a great thing that this book exists!

Niche knowledge is fantastic for those who want it or need it. No need to knock it just because you don't.
IMO move semantics, auto, lambdas and smart pointers have changed the way we write C++ dramatically. I work on both old and modern C++ codebases and the difference is like night and day...
> what, specifically, is IBM doing that is so bad

This is just the customer facing stuff. The internal politics are more painful.

- Got rid of RHV, gave customers no realistic migration path

- Moved an entire BU of employees from Red Hat to IBM with no choice except to GTFO if you didn't wanna become an IBM employee (storage BU)

- Each area of the business is under increased oversight due to IBM beancounters thinking they know better

- IBM interference in product development (IBM has a deal, so they want feature X, even though bugfix Y and Z are more important)

At first it was all "yeah, you red hatters are gonna save IBM", but Red Hat is at the point where OpenShift is being milked by IBM 100%.
Not to accuse anyone, but it's written in the style of ChatGPT.
I'm getting a strong impression it was written by GPT

Seems overly long/verbose/conscientious for a human
They will just make it PITA to use if you're not on Red Hat.

> If they want to use an old phone, they can just stop updating their apps and not installing new apps.

Here in Sweden taxi and public transport apps need to be kept up to date or they stop working.
> but they haven't updated their default PDF app in at least 2 months

The PDF renderer in their PDF viewer is from 2016 and has dozens of long-known security issues.

> Can you install, say, WhatsApp through the store on GrapheneOS? Can I install my public transport app (hint: it's not on F-droid) or my banking app?

Yes you can, maybe you should read their documentation: https://grapheneos.org/usage#sandboxed-google-play

> It's great if GrapheneOS fits your needs.

I don't use GrapheneOS.

> There is no such thing as a "secure device"

You're shifting goal posts, the devices they're selling are end-of-life by manufacturer or are years behind _available_ firmware/blob updates.

> not for people who like spending their free time writing lists about when the default PDF app was last updated.

I don't know why you're focused on the PDF viewer when they went _eleven_ months without updating the browser and system webview, one of the most important programs on any computer.
Without wanting to sound arsey, why should I have to? If I'd had the relevant docs to hand I wouldn't have needed it.

This is the problem IMO. The model needs to somehow learn that out of its entire training set, the single sentence in the AWS docs saying not to use the assumed role ARN takes precedence over any patterns it may have learnt elsewhere in this specific situation.
And the idealized quakers you're pointing to are essentially a dead religion. There are like 300k quakers globally and 80% of those practice a christianity indistinguishable from the evangelical mainstream of wherever they live (half are in africa). I would be surprised if silent meetings survive another generation, there are already very very few of them.

Quakers succeeded enough in certain ways that their values became mainstream, and they didn't differentiate enough from the surrounding culture to remain separate from it or powerful within it. Our liberal culture owes a lot to the quakers, I have incredible respect for their foundational beliefs, I used to be one, but they don't have much to offer us now.
When it comes to phones, I tend to stick to lower-mid range ones that I know allow custom ROMs and have a certain community behind it and somewhat well supported. For instance I am running Android 12 on a 2016 ZUK Z2 shipped with 7, and if we ignore battery life and decreased performance it's still like having a new phone now. Same thing for my Redmi note 7 with Android 13. I cannot say the same for my iPad Air 2 from 2015, stuck on iOS 12 since I don't even know when, and can barely use it for anything apart from youtube and (supported) websites.

Presumably not ELIZA (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ELIZA), perhaps a character on character.ai or similar named Eliza?

This is, of course, a very sad story. It's certainly possible that ChatGPT was involved, although with OpenAI's neutering of the model, it seems more likely to be a different chatbot.

Either way, it's lazy of the article to not resolve this ambiguity, and seems rushed. It's not the case that "chatbot" = "ChatGPT" in 2023.
This is a good point. Also, I don't see the economic incentives for this to be snakeoil.

I built a similar device (works more like the linked software), using illuminated buttons, and big RGB arcade button for the main action.

https://doug.lon.dev/software/hardware/2018/06/24/the-task-s...

I stopped using it about a year or so ago, I didn't feel the need to keep recording every context change, and I also never really looked at the reports or drew much of any conclusion about the data.

It would be reasonably simple to use my software on the desktop, or in another device, and add countdown feature. It's all open source.

In the end the device was a bit of a vehicle to learn new things; hardware development, aspects of the software and I also subsequently re-wrote the web service on AWS serverless as well.
Usenet already offered this lesson: every user needs an immediately accessible killfile that can prevent them from seeing:

- this obnoxious user, anywhere

- this obnoxious user, in this thread/group

- this obnoxious user, using any of these keywords

- any user using these keywords in this thread/group/anywhere

Any social media system that doesn't offer these needs a much more expensive moderation system.
Being entertained compels a lot of people. You can't make a living doing it. Programmers had the luxury to talk of passion projects because you could find something you liked and still made good money (Again talking of the average programmer, quoting one extreme side would be neither here nor there). People don't work in warehouses because if compels them.

If all the things that compel you don't make money, you should introspect instead of thinking about the glory days of what programmers did.
Yeah, ELIZA has been around since the 60s. I think the article reeks of a lack of due diligence and fact checking.
>If we had a general solution to language intelligence we would have artificial intelligence at the level of at least human intelligence

I don't see why this follows. We do loads of stuff other than language, it is entirely possible for an AI to be better than us at language but worse at everything else.
There's something about "prompt engineer" that I really dislike. It's not like right now we're "google and stackoverflow engineers". Titles should be about the same in the future, who cares what tool you use to get your job done.
Awesome Langchain
A couple of guys sitting around does not prove a crime and even if you had strong suspicion, you’re not a cop and letting them buy gas doesn’t materially support the criminal activity – the amounts are small and it’s the same service you offer everyone. If you’ll note that’s why I used examples which have lead to criminal charges where someone did something unusual which they knew supported criminal activity.

This is why anti-money laundering laws exist in the first place. Criminals would otherwise seek out a bank which doesn’t ask questions and the bankers would be hard to charge unless they were idiots and wrote something like “They are here for crime”. AML removes the ability not to ask or report certain types of activities, which is much easier to prosecute than e.g. proving that a banker should have known there was no legal way for a small Italian restaurant to be so profitable.
This is a very fair point that I agree with and in retrospect I wish I had emphasised the limits of what I was trying to get across. But your and other replies have done it for me so I'll leave it as it is.

What's interesting is not that there's few de-transitioners.

Rather, what they claim they personally got told before transitioning (very little), what their families were told (unsubstantiated lies about suicide as the alternative to transitioning), as well as how easy and frictionless the formalities of the process were.
> EU countries approve 2035 phaseout of CO2-emitting cars

That's quite a misleading headline from Reuters - they're not phasing out C02 emitting cars, they're banning sale of new CO2 emitting cars. Existing CO2 cars will continue to be legal, although probably become much more expensive to run than electric cars, and of course could be outlawed by further legislation.
Everyone else here is not agreeing with you, but having just come back from our India office and dealing a little bit with compensation adjustment, I totally agree with you.

Our Indian teams are making really good money these days, and if we don't pay them as such they bounce to another company.
I read through this as well & it is a joke. Under their interpretation if I run MinIO in the Linux subsystem that is part of Windows, I'd need to open source that.

Their interpretation is so extreme that using a browser would require me to open source the browser. If I used a shell script to test if the service is running, I'd need to make that open source too.

There is also this: "Passing configuration parameters to a MinIO binary instance constitutes making a modified version, as it does not produce an exact binary copy."

How do they know it doesn't produce an exact binary copy? Maybe my x86 computer is quantum based.

I'm pretty sure if I compiled MinIO with a proprietary Golang implementation, MinIO would want me to open source the compiler.

They also include their trademarked logo in the git repo., then try and tack on a supplemental policy about that later. Which you can't do, because the AGPL grants you a license to the logo.
Interesting, though I can’t help but feel that the tone of the first few paragraphs could be a bit more.. humble? Even if the underlying model is much better, you can’t really compare a complete project to one that is alpha. Real world complexities catch up in the later phase of bigger projects.

Nonetheless, I eagerly await its future.

Please reconsider bashing it that much, if not out of respect for the people who use this tool daily, then out of the observation that the program you used to write this message was probably written in or uses libraries written in C++.

It's a powerful tool and has been used to create amazing things in competent hands, so maybe its flaws, that we like to bash so much, are a great thing - it's what drove people to create all this other languages that we love to experiment with.

Why are american toilets like that? As a european, it seems barbarian.
The same thing that has prevented self driving cars from taking the roads, i.e. that errors can be fatal. That and doctors are better unionised and won't easily let a machine practice medicine. There are all kinds of laws which necessitate the presence of a licensed medical professional in various steps of treatment. Software has neither of these cushions.
Apple is to blame, honestly. Android at least releases support libraries to allow older devices to receive more patches as well as some newer platform features. This is unheard of on Apple's platforms. If Apple changes any code, then they simply push out a new version - if a framework has bugs since iOS 12 and they've fixed it, the fix will only rollout for iOS 16+ users and leave everyone else behind. Security updates are the one exception, but Apple is capable of much more. The company continues to step away from being a steward of good technology.
>Steve should have bought Sun

That's interesting to think about. Would have propped up the xServe idea better. A timeline where an Apple server was a somewhat credible competitor to Linux servers might have changed some things.
We've already seen much of this development pre-AI with the rise of no code / low code platforms. Even if you manage to put this particular genie back into the bottle, there's no escaping the increasing automation of programming.

And so far it only increased the demand for software, because for anyone outside software development, cheaper software just means you can leverage your budget to get better faster.
I can assure you that I am a very conscientious human and that this was a genuine response.

one thing I don't hear mentioned is a huge change in company culture. we started hiring management from cisco, and they are NOT a good personal fit. like super sexist nasty backstabbing management types. that was NOT the type of people Red Hat hired pre IBM.
This makes me wonder if some people don't even get into writing software because of how ephemeral our platforms are today.

"Not worth it." "This work will have to be redone every few years now."

I still use 10+ year old software and hardware for getting very cool things done, and it really put things into perspective.
> It feels so utterly helpless and pointless working on mitigating my own CO2 emissions when I learn there are people like you taking 100-150 international flights in 10 years. That completely dwarfs any savings I could reasonably expect to make.

This is an oddly off-topic and mean-spirited comment!

Looking at the comment thread you can see how this comment suddenly changed the course of the discussion to something totally unrelated to this post. This is one of those things that can create deeply nested comment threads on an unrelated topic just because of the nature of the comment and how it can trigger people to get involved in an off-topic debate.
Is there an app that can tell me the wear stats from the storage device? A bit of googling tells me that a service called storaged processes them, but I can't immediately find an app that does this.
Sounds annoying, but I had to skim through looking for a definition of "e-fuel" since it was not a term I was accustomed to.

Found it:

E-fuels are produced by synthesising captured CO2 emissions and hydrogen produced using CO2-free electricity. They are considered carbon neutral because the CO2 released when the fuel is combusted is balanced by the CO2 removed from the atmosphere to produce the fuel.

And also learnt that they're also called "electrofuels" [1].

That makes it sound less horrible, except that such production doesn't exist yet at a sensible/interesting scale as far as I understand.

I'm not sure how the current (or last year's) trend of "don't go to useless college just take this bootcamp" will fare in face of the AI revolution. because I have the impression those bootcamps only teach the technology du jour, none of which teaching those high-level solutions you are hinting about. So yes I also think there will be a need for computer people, just much less "programmers".
