I've had some great uses. I've had it clean up language in customer facing documentation, had it provide great examples for things like KPIs and OKRs, I also had it take a story about a beloved pet and write prompts for a children's book.

I haven't used it for coding but I've definitely found it really useful in writing. I'm not a bad writer, when I put thought into it but I find it's always useful to have a collaborator and ChatGPT has given me one that's always available.

I've also done some less productive things like work out architectural plans for a chicken coop remodel I need to do. I also got into a discussion about where and how to do french drains on my property, so we can plant more.
Others aren't under that impression though:

It's an opportunity for Australia. We have the iron ore and we have the solar energy to make electricity and hydrogen. If the world is going have to rebuild its steel making capacity it's a chance to capture some of that.
You're taking it very literal here, from my perspective it doesn't mean "literally treat others according to your preferences", it means "treat others with the same kind of consideration you'd offer yourself". It's like: wouldn't you want people to treat as best they can you in a way that aligns with your needs and values? So treat them in a way that aligns with their needs and values. I think it also implies that people would have respect and care for themselves, but that's not always the case in reality.

It's really like the semantics of "walk this way".

Interop: One Protocol to Rule Them All? [pdf]
I tried, not actually at work but for something open source, to get it to help me rework a terraform provider using the old SDK to use the new 'framework' - I've only ever written Go for terraform providers (and that not much) so I often have dumb confusions about how to do something that end up more about Go than the API itself, it's just not necessarily obvious initially, or what to search for etc., so I thought it was a great opportunity.

It didn't really work though - it produced something extremely plausible looking that checking against the docs I realised had no chance of compiling. After a lot of back and forth, I began to suspect it was because it was trained while only pre-1.0 versions of the 'framework' were available. I tried to get it to confirm that, but it just apologised profusely while continuing to lie, claiming to have been trained with access to 1.x versions that to this day have not been released. At this point I was too frustrated to bother with it anyway really, but I could only confirm my suspicion by asking it for the date of its training, and checking release history myself.

> ByteDance is financially backed by Kohlberg Kravis Roberts, SoftBank Group, Sequoia Capital, General Atlantic, and Hillhouse Capital Group.[34] As of March 2021, it was estimated to be valued at $250 billion in private trades.[35][needs update]

> In April 2021, a state-owned enterprise owned by the Cyberspace Administration of China and China Media Group, the China Internet Investment Fund, purchased a 1% stake in ByteDance's main Chinese entity and placed a government official, Wu Shugang, on its board of directors.

Pretending this is about human rights abuses is simply a farce. The US has, and continues to support human rights abuse wherever it deems it advantageous.

The recent witch hunt has done more damage to the US than TikTok was ever likely to.

Risky vs what? Googling? Not doing anything? Waiting for a therapist? It’s extremely sensitive to human emotional dynamics. It is also extremely biased toward non violent communication, which is very hard for humans.
Current SEC's position seems to be mostly political posturing by Gary Gensler, and not necessarily based on technical or regulatory merits. There is strong dissent within the SEC with its most recent actions. Most notably by Hester Peirce, one of the 5 SEC commissioners. Something smells afoul at the top of the SEC.

You can watch a very interesting recent interview with her here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvsJM0regpw

I think the two party system causes a lot of problems like this. Over time, a certain party has drifted towards an extreme that if the same happened in a European multiparty democracy, this party would have been replaced by one of the many similar, but sane parties.
It's been around a long time, but a major contribution to the worsening of late is the US news media. When my family visited the us in the early 2000s we thought fox news was a parody at first. We could not believe it was being held up as news, when the bias, and outright misinformation was passed off as fact. This platform was used with great effect to seed mistrust in all media, and now it's completely polarised, with most folks refusing to look at certain media sources as they can't be trusted. Other countries regulate the media, news is much closer to fact. News media can and does get sanctioned for any wrong information and have to publicly retract, etc. There are solutions, but the US doesn't want them.

Now social media is here, it's made it a lot worse and more global, but the US had an opportunity in the 90s and 2000s to improve it's media and did not.

> On Thursday, Florida's governor, Ron DeSantis, moved to expand a law that banned public schools from teaching sexual education and gender identity.

This is the most important paragraph in the article imo. Later it mentions Queen Victoria was also shocked in 1857 and ordered the statue's private parts to be covered with a leaf.

Many of these ridiculous Americans scandals are not too shocking if you consider some areas of the US are culturally stuck in the 19th century.
Ok, this is much more like what I expected from the OP.

Anyone disappointed, here be full details on everything.
This comment is a parody of conservative discourse I hope?
Been pretty useful for discovery of SDK functionality in open-source libraries, that otherwise takes a bunch of time Googling the answer for. For example;

- Using golang, how do I write a custom marshaller for uber/zap

- Given a list of protogen.Files, how do I parse protobuf options and their values

Unfortunately the generated code is more often than not incorrect or uses non-existing API methods, but can give an idea of methods to use or where to look in the official api docs.
I tried this out and it clearly has had a lot of effort put in and was pretty smooth, but I had concerns about security. Last I saw, nothing is containerised or sandboxed. I’d be concerned about hosting a load of loosely maintained services along with my important data like Nextcloud.
> Specifically the recession talk seemed to be an attempt to destroy what little gains labor had made in the past couple years

"Remember the great resignation? Good! You shouldn't! Now damn you proles, don't you forget that you can't remember it."

As for your last paragraph, it's about control. Regardless of what's being "destroyed", they are creating more wealth and power, and the majority of that goes to the top. Again, this isn't opinion. It's the data.

The Public's fault is believing what they hear instead of watching what is happening. Actions speak louder than words. Or they should.

"At the same time we have the category of groups, for example, which contains the category of monoids as a subcategory, as all monoids are groups etc.". The roles of monoids and groups are actually reversed - all groups are monoids, but not all monoids are groups.
I'd say defect, not bug.
I have no idea what Roe v Wade is about (I'm not American or in the US), but I like GP read the parent comment to theirs as meaning 'these jokers overturned it, that is bad, we cannot rely on them'. Re-reading after seeing your own comment, it is ambiguous really, you could read it either way, but you're probably right (having the context of what it's about) and GP just mistook the meaning as I did.

> If anything has proven this [that 'we need to react better to laws as they are being drafted, not wait out their inevitable harm to society'] lately is the Roe v. Wade overturn, we really need to stop relying on courts to "save" us and instead fight for better laws [...]

Show HN: ChatGPT Plugins are a Security Nightmare
Soo.. Expect your personal GPT to be persistently compromised/hacked, remote-controlled and used to exfiltrate all your data. Security of LLMs is in a bad state right now.
I love this thought. Smart people will just instruct ChatGPT to make some mistakes here and there in their prompt. When I use ChatGPT I typically use a couple sentences describing how I want it to sound, which makes it less bland and probably harder to detect, but I don’t care about the latter part as much. Totally agree that the poster above seems Kaufmanesque.
How is Bob getting a 400% return on every bet he makes? Especially when his strategy is to make the same bet that everyone else is making?
Last I checked, Bob’s investments so closely tracked inflation, its indistinguishable. And it’s about 50-100 times less than you claim.

Oh and Bob did not save 1/3 of his gains. To be fair, he spent it, living high on the irrational market all these years.

Nullification of Laws (U.S. Constitution)
I really doubt it would be faster to write code manually, even with the state of AI tools today. Even with very sophisticated keyboard macros and traditional autocompletion, someone using GPT would outperform anyone who doesn't. Think of the amount of boilerplate and tests you write, and tedious API documentation lookups you do daily; that all goes away with GPT. The amount of work to double check whether the generated code is valid, and fix it, is negligible compared to the alternative of writing it all manually.

Of course, I'm saying this without actually having used it for programming, so I might be way off base, but the feedback from coworkers who rely on even the now basic GitHub Copilot is that it greatly improves their productivity. I'm envious, of course, but I'm not willing to sacrifice my privacy for that.
Not bizarre. America's ideology is capitalism and free trade.

Kotlin/Wasm
Transcription of the talk given by Zalim Bashorov and Sébastien Deleuze at Wasm I/O conference to introduce Kotlin/Wasm and the new perspectives introduced by WasmGC for fullstack development.
Probably the puritanical background and history of the US more than any particular structure.

In the article's example, it doesn't seem many of your points would apply. The school board is elected at the local level which rules out a good bit of those.

There's also the possibility that the voters/parents don't care about the nudity, but rather empathy about the lack of notification. They probably want to be notified of other sensitive topics and see the utility in such a policy in general. That was the real issue here.

Coming back to structure though. The biggest thing leading to outsized impact of minority groups are primaries. Primaries have such a low voter turnout that a minority group can have an outsized impact. To exacerbate this even further for the president, that only has to happen in the first few states for other candidates to drop out due to the staggered primary dates. So you end up with about 20% of voters in the first 10 states or so deciding who the main two candidates will be for president. The two party structure also contributes to the polarization as candidates are more concerned about opposition to a single party rather than alliances with other parties.
Being political reality doesn't save something from being intellectually discredited. The fact that people need propaganda such as "president" as you mention supports that, because the very idea of monarchy and aristocracy are impossible to sell these days. These systems can only survive through lies and confusion or brute force and neither has anything to with having any intellectual credibility.
- weekly meal plan: I let chat gpt decide almost all my meals for a week given specific macro distribution parameters and I made a small script that takes the ingredient list and automatically orders them from the supermarket

I just asked it to make an itinerary for a 45 minute long 6 year old boy's soccer practice. It was almost perfect. It needs to be tweaked (3 minutes for cool down?) but it did 95% of the heavy lifting.

I also asked it for vacation ideas with nice cabins and trailer hookups with outdoor activities for kids and nice cabins within 200 miles of where I live - it was almost perfect in its response.

I have trouble starting things from scratch, but once a framework exists I'm usually solid and can refine it to where I want it.

We got hit with a charge of $7000 to replace the floor based on bogus pictures of very minimal damage. Airbnb eventually ruled in our favor but it took months and we felt like crap. Not in a hurry to use them again.
This seemed like a thinly veiled “reminder” that tax professionals exist. If you don’t use one, just like Al Capone you could go to jail or something. Less than a month until you’re late!

All ultimately because of how much Intuit has lobbied to help keep tax prep a big, scary thing that at least needs their super helpful application that has a nominal fee, and must be repurchased for every tax season.

Don’t worry. It’s a real article. The author has this in their bio:
> Want to talk about how the Brewers are going to the World Series this year?

Because the author’s focus historically was sports. Or maybe real estate because that’s neat too.

At least it will be automated soon. No, not your taxes. These articles.
> I don't trust it with my data, and won't rely on such tools until I can self-host them, and they can be entirely offline.

Me:

> So, imagine it. You'll have a ChatGPT on your laptop -- your very own, that you can use for whatever purposes you want. Personally, I'll be hooking it up to read my emails and let me know if anything comes in that I need to pay attention to, or hook it up to the phone so that it can schedule doctor's appointments for me, or deal with AT&T billing department, or a million other things. The tech exists right now, and I'd be shocked if no one turns it into a startup idea over the next few years. (There's already a service called GhostWrite, where you can let GPT write your emails on your behalf. So having one talk on the phone on your behalf isn't far behind.)

The article:

> Presser imagines future versions of LLaMA could be hosted on your computer and trained on your emails; able to answer questions about your work schedules, past ideas, to-do lists, and more. This is functionality that startups and tech companies are developing, but for many AI researchers, the idea of local control is far more attractive. (For typical users, tradeoffs in cost and privacy for ease of use will likely swing things the other way.)

Notice how they turned the point around from "you can host it yourself" to "but typical users probably won't want that," like this is some esoteric concern that only three people have.

So like, it's not just you. If you feel like you're "in the minority" just because you want to run these models yourself, know that even as an AI researcher I, too, feel like an outsider. We're in this together.

And I have no idea why things are like this. But I just wanted to at least reassure you that the frustrations exist at the researcher level too.

Tell HN: Dark Sky Is Working
I have no explanation for this - but Dark Sky is working. I received a rain alert yesterday and thought it was a fluke. But got another push notification this morning, and opened the app to discover it working perfectly. Is anyone else experiencing the same thing? Any theories on what’s happening?
I used to use this, but I've grown disillusioned with these sorts of self-hosting admin tools that try to be user friendly.

It's great when everything works, but under the hood Yunohost is running a bunch of scripts to e.g. manage distro packages. When that fails, you often can't recover through the UI in my experience and you then have to work out what the fancy tools were trying to do under the hood so you can log in and fix it yourself. After a few iterations of that I decided it wasn't worth the hassle.

The only one I still use is Sandstorm, because it's more of a container-based system and doesn't rely on scripts that can fail and leave the system in a half-finished state. Its userbase is unfortunately much smaller though, so the package selection isn't nearly as good. For the packages that are there though it's been pretty rock solid.

> It's just that I really really hate maintaining Makefiles and CMake configs.

CMake is a high level makefile/build system generator.

There is nothing to maintain in modern cmake. You just set what executables/libraries you want to build, set their dependencies, and you're done.

And of all alternatives you chose to push, you pick Bazel of all things? Feature-incomplete and requiring all sorts of low-level maintenance?

To be fair, the left isn't much better. Sure their rhetoric might sound a bit different but they're still part of the boarder system. A system that as consistently failed the people they've been elected to represent.

It's a distraction to point fingers at left or right.
I wouldn't use it, so if it were the only way to order I'd leave, so that I could order somewhere else.

It's not just about being a stick in the mud over the ordering process - it would signal to me that I had the wrong idea of the kind of place it was: I'm sure you can order like that at McDonalds, but I don't want to eat at McDonalds.
I have never had any brush with the giant. But I have my own little story to share. Way back in 1998, I was a newly minted engineer in India and was visiting Bangalore. While roaming around on MG Road, I picked up a book named “Inside Intel”. It is through that book that I learned about Gordon Moore. On the 48 hour train journey back to Delhi, I devoured the book. It left an impression and I was in awe. It also ignited something in me. I wanted to become a better engineer, so I bought my first computer soon after. I wanted to be in the “Silicon Valley”. As the fate would have it, 3 years later, I landed there. Little did I know that this serendipity and random inspiration would weave my life story. I remain awestruck with the person and the impact that he left. RIP
Hey! Author of the package here. Thank you so much for your comment!
Well, one unlucky aspect is the lack of any succesful politician that can absorb that widely available info and combine it to make Australia into an exporter of high value, green products from higher up the supply chain.

Bit of a "resource curse" thing at the moment, where you can dig up the wealth and ship it out the country without necessarily enriching the wider population as much as you'd think.
I constantly see people still complaining about what Uber and AirBnB do/did. And, likewise, there are plenty of comments here saying the same positive things about IA.

Are you just choosing to ignore those comments?
We had bogus damage pictures as well, but luckily in our case in the end did not have to pay. But it made a time when we were supposed to be relaxing stressful instead, which didn’t really make us eager to use AirBnB again.
The first amendment of the US Constitution makes it virtually impossible to pass any meaningful regulation of news media. As long as it's framed as opinion and not fact, these news outlets can say pretty much whatever they want.
