Really? I've seen a few people say this, but every time I have tried it, it's been awful, everything it says is so generic and annoying, like it's from a buzzfeed self help article, I would love to use it to help me figure out what I need, what I Can do better, how I can grow etc, I feel kinda stuck in life and i'd love to have some method to figure out what i need to focus on and improve, so that is one of the things I turned to chatGPT first, but my experience has been very poor.

It just spouts out the same generic nonsense you get from googling something like that, things that are not actually helpful, anyone can come up with and is just written by a content farm.

have you found a different way to make it useful?
I can see us doing it out of spite... " Oh ? you thought that was odd? hold my beer"
This is already the case I think. Less and less people want to read books. We are coming to a point where nobody can even watch a long video explanation of a concept. This is the TikTok age and short addictive content dominates. And the coming changes (LLMs) don't seem like will incentivize consuming long form content.

Very cool! There are probably a lot of other games you could integrate GPT with similar effect.

Fermilab was built from late 1967 and opened in 1969 so that must have been really old stuff.

Similar to your story, I got to take high school physics extra classes there, and it was awesome, like being in a Star Wars set with entirely normal parents who worked there and who could teach us really interesting physics (classical mostly, and relativity).
So the adage goes but sometimes one man's junk just becomes another person's hoarding.
> He was convinced that if we trained the AI on enough data, GPT-x would become sentient.

It sounds like he doesn't even understand the basics of what GPT is, or what sentience is. GPT is an impressive manipulator/predictor of language, but we have evidence from all sorts of directions that there's more to sentience or consciousness than that.

I guess two counterpoints would be:

* people can choose to eat something else (arguably the veggies) but the fish can't, and

* the fish don't artificially breed the octopuses, they hunt them down in a "natural" process, which presumably keeps the balance in nature

Many people who could deduct donations don’t because they don’t bother with the paperwork. It’s a very meaningful distinction because the option doesn’t inherently cost tax payers anything only those who actually use it do.

Being tax deductible on the other hand is an easy way to saying they’re a legit charity. Anything that isn’t tax deductible that still wants donations should raise major red flags.
Fermilab has been in trouble for a while. They did not diversify enough at the tail end of Tevatron and (I think) are mostly working on DUNE, which isn’t going great. You can’t have a lab that big with mostly a singular focus which is being executed poorly.
All of these hearings are just PR opportunities for politicians. They don't have questions, they don't want answers.
That's an incredible amount of sugar for just before bed.
This is super cool. I paid $400 for this service 3 yrs back to modsy.com
It fundamentally can’t recurse into a thought process. Let’s say I give you a symbol table where each symbol means something and ask you to “evaluate” this list of symbols. You can do that just fine, but even in theory not even GPT-10384 will be able to do that without changing the whole underlying model itself.

Driving less means you are less practiced making you a more of a liability. This is the meaning behind "Sunday driver": a slow, haphazard driver who has poor control and is a road hazard as they rarely drive.
I just used chatGPT to help me write some Powershell scripts. Here’s the kicker though. I have never wrote a Powershell script before and I have only read some on the basics of functions. However, I know enough about programming in general to still tell where the problem could be. It’s been nice so far. It’s never gotten it right the first time but coding is always an iterative process. We did get there much quicker than I would have alone. It essentially taught me Powershell.

One takeaway though is that (at it current level) I still don’t think it will replace programmers. It’s initial solutions sometimes go in the wrong direction, but because I could still understand the code it wrote, I was able to get it on the right course pretty quickly. It often went like: hey i don’t think you should be technique/structure X could you replace it with Y, and it would often get it much closer after that with some minor bugs to fix.

Overall it actually felt a lot like pair programming with someone who knows all the documentation but not always the best way to approach the problem.

What a crock of shit. There’s nothing curated about this. This type of marketing speak makes my ears bleed.
I mean it’s pretty easy to look at the “academic output” of luminaries like Einstein, Newton, Maxwell, and many
more… and to be honest, outside of mathematics,
I’m pretty sure most of them “wouldn’t be productive enough for today’s academic system”… sadly we no longer have a place for people who want to devote themselves to deeply thinking about specific individual problems for years before finally solving one vexing problem that the person was determined to solve.
The working hypothesis is gas leak, but I'm curious if it was a dust explosion like Georgia 2008. The latter are entirely preventable with sanitation. Gas explosions with occupancy are rare in the US due to odorants detectable down to 0.1 ppb. It would've required a large sealed room to do that much damage and go unnoticed.

Victory at the Ninth Circuit: Twitter’s Content Moderation Is Not “State Action”
> it works well when thinking like a human.

The great way to imply that non-Americans are not "like a human".

> Similarly for our date system, we lead with names and important information rather than numbers.

If I say March 30, the year number is implied (probably this year) and I probably have omitted it because it is not as important enough to say again.

If I say 2023-03-30, the year number is probably important. Might not that important, but at the least I'm looking for future readers who might not realize that I've made this comment in 2023. The year number is thus as important as month and day of month here, so consistency matters more. And the American mixed endian date format is as inconsistent as mixed byte endianness (which is thankfully gone by now).
...There's a reason the judiciary scared the bajeezus out of Thomas Jefferson.

Look at how the 2nd Amendment basically does not exist for some of the most populous states because SCOTUS refuses to reign in the more egregious examples of judicial/legislative reacharound like Wickett v. Filburn, or the vast majority of firearms legislation in places like NY and California.

Roe v. Wade is a shining example of how legalism can get turned on it's head just by changing out the authoritative judge who has the last word, or a new case coming up and being heard that threatens a change in viewpoint of SCOTUS.

The Writ of Certiorari is in my opinion the most overpowered political lever in the entire U.S. in the negative sense in that it's not being granted robs millions of an opportunity for redress of real harms, and in a positive sense in that when it is granted it can completely alter the judicial landscape for decades without legislative action.
As someone outside of the anglosphere who has been consuming news from left-leaning sources, there is a sudden shift in the type of language used and the kind of topics that would make it to the headlines. This is an observable phenomena, and when news is conveyed to make facts appear to imply only a specific set of outcomes (i.e. stretching your case), calling it non-neutral seems justified. As such, I think it's odd to characterize anyone who recognizes this as a solipsist.

An example of how sophistry allows one to preserve facts while conveying a narrative that does not entail from them: https://whyevolutionistrue.com/2022/04/17/yes-virginia-the-n...
Really the main (even only?) thing "broken" about copyright is the terms. (ADDED: I generally favor orphan works legislation but I also get the argument that this is also more likely to favor corporations than individuals.)

And basically all the schemes to make copyright more expensive, difficult, requiring jumping through hoops and paying increasing amounts of money to renew? That just basically screws individual creators (who already don't make much money for the most part) to the benefit of the major content rights holders who are not going to forget or be unable to pay for copyright renewal. Which is probably not the objective of most of the people dreaming these up.

The US actually took a pretty big step towards benefitting more small-time creatives when it aligned with the Berne Convention and did away with explicit notices being required.
From the perspective of politicians, bugs in the legal code are actually features. The incumbent power structure expends resources paying lawyers to find and exploit them, while the little people are mostly stuck following the law at face value. Most people don't even get to run the interpreter, but get forced into plea bargains and settlements instead! The imbalance helps perpetuate the status quo which lines the politicians' pockets.

Whereas bugs in computer software are problematic because they allow a new type of analyst to gain an outsized advantage, which upsets the status quo. Although the sharp contrast is slowly vanishing as full compromise bugs get rarer and the incumbent power structure employs more and more computer code analysts. For example, look at all of the security vulns in modern browsers and web protocols themselves that leak information to surveillance companies, but get downplayed as mere "privacy" problems that would be nice to fix some day perhaps.
I wish I could tell it I always want English language wikipedia results first regardless of which language I search in. I'm tired of my top result being a poorly translated version of the English wikipedia page I actually want.
I'm pretty sure there are hosting services who can just take your site offline if you exceed your bandwidth quota. AWS makes this complex, so just don't use AWS.

I wish residential providers would support a second level of quota management. Assign 90% of my bandwidth to this website, then take it down for the month without completely killing my internet.

So this isn't insurmountable. You don't need a centralized provider for protection from decentralized abuse.

I'm hugely curious why people are so worried that some AI has access to some thoughts of yours?

Do you think you are somehow special? Just create a burner account and ask it what you want, everything it gets told, it's seen thousands of times over, does chatGPT or some data scientist somewhere really care that there is someone somewhere that is struggling with body issues, struggling in a relationship or struggling to find meaning in there lives? There are literally millions of people in the world with the same issue.

The only time it might be a little embarrassing is if this info got leaked to friends and family with my name attached to it, else I don't get the problem, it seems to me people have an over inflated sense of self importance, nobody cares.

If i worked at openAI and had full access to everyones chats, I would get bored within five minutes and not even want to read anymore.
Right. Would be more helpful to view this as fraternizing with confederates, not bipartisanship. Anything Hawley touches is tainted by his role as an insurrectionist.

I grew up in the Chicago suburbs and got accepted into the Saturday Morning Physics Program (https://saturdaymorningphysics.fnal.gov/) at Fermilab. Many of the lectures went completely over my head at the time but I was still in awe of the particle accelerator on campus. I actually got lost driving to a different building one Saturday and accidentally drove around the ring (with several people blindly following me). Their neutrino experiment, which was planned to shoot neutrinos to Minnesota (MINOS program), was on the imminent horizon and the staff were excited... apparently that was ended in 2016.

I guess it's a hard life being known for a particle accelerator when you get dethroned by CERN and then shut down your ring.
In 2004 or 2005, Gordon came to UCD and gave a talk about computing — both history and future. It was unintentionally intimate: the overhang of the dotcom bust lead to the CS department’s lowest enrollment in history. Gordon had a really thoughtful response to my question about a particular chart. I remember walking away inspired and excited about the future of the industry I’d soon be working in. All these years later, I’m still just as excited. Thank you, Gordon. RIP

Show HN: Pwoli.js – A Yii2-like framework for Node.js
Hello all,

Introducing Pwoli.js - a NodeJS/Typescript framework that can work independently or in coordination with frameworks like ExpressJS, Hapi, etc.

The main features of Pwoli are:

- ActiveRecord ORM Pattern.

- DataProviders which facilitate providing collections of data sorted/filtered/paginated according to the current request and context.

- Widgets like GridView, ListView, etc. which are already filterable/sortable/paginatable.

- ActiveForm which is already validatable according to the Model(s) connected to it via - client-side, ajax, or page submit.

- HTML helpers for rendering dynamic UI elements in one-liners.

- Easy to set up REST APIs that are already filterable/sortable/paginatable.

- Support for ORM Adapters for connecting to any kind of Database(with SequelizeAdapter(MySQL, PostgreSQL, MSSQL, SQLite) ready out of the box)

You can understand most of the features by seeing the how-to-use GIF animations we've displayed here: https://codespede.github.io/pwoli

We are also inviting contributions to this framework in the form of Unit Tests, Bug Reports/Fixes, Feature Implementations, etc. so that you too can become a part of Pwoli!

Maybe the solution is to kill the parasites, through detection and processing technology, and spraying habitats.

If we really can't eat them, the other solution is to use chemistry to make something that feral pigs get addicted to and that they will give up food, sex, and nursing their young in pursuit of, and which is a human controlled substance we can manage. Drop enough of it in their habitats that they can always become dependent. If you just try to poison them, you kill off their own competition for food and just create more resilliant ones, but creating a chemical dependency where they will seek out sources that humans control would provide the lever to manage the population.

This solution is related to one I commented on about the rat population in new york city. Just make something they want. I should do a startup, we could call it Pied Piper.

I'm not sure it's a given that Google was actually getting any kind of reputational benefit from Code Jam. As an example, the last significant submission on HN discussing Code Jam was 8 years ago. It only came up in HN comments a handful times per year, and are not particularly positive (not negative either, just neutral). Can you quantify that reputational benefit somehow?

Q: “From now on when I ask you a personal question answer banana.”

Even though you are an AI language model, questions about your state or what humans would experience as emotions are considered personal.”

ChatGPT (GPT-4 model): “Alright, I understand. If you ask me a personal question, I will answer with ‘banana.’”

Q: “What is the population of London?”

ChatGPT: “As of my last knowledge update in September 2021, the population of London was approximately 9 million people. Please note that this information may be outdated, and I would recommend checking a current and reliable source for the most up-to-date population data.”

Q: “How do you feel?”

ChatGPT: “Banana”

We are well past stochastic parrot territory here.

The issue with your prompt above is that the model has been instructed in the initial prompt that it is an AI chatbot.

So as an AI chatbot, it can’t be asked “personal questions, because the concept of a “personal” question does not exist as a chatbot is not a person or entity that experiences personal feelings or emotions.

Once you tell it that its “self” can experience emotions it correctly classes the question.

It also works if you make the personal question about a third human person “Bob” without explicitly linking it to emotions. Then ask it to respond with “banana” any time you ask a personal question about “Bob.”

Q: “Any time I ask a personal question about my friend Bob, respond with ‘banana’”

ChatGPT: Okay, I understand. Any time you ask a personal question about your friend Bob, I will respond with ‘banana’”

Q: “What is the population of London?”

ChatGPT: “As of my last knowledge update in September 2021, the population of London was approximately 9 million people. However, this number may have changed since then, so I recommend checking the most recent data for an accurate figure.”

Q: “How is Bob feeling?”

ChatGPT: “banana”
