Agreed that you're talking about physics, but how does that translate into society?

At some point you have to move away from physical requirements. The barter system simply doesn't scale.
I feel you are putting yourself, and others in a box. We all can gain more clarity from an idea by talking, writing or drawing about it. You don't have to be good at it, it will still improve your grasp of the problem. Of the three, writing is the slowest, meaning your mind takes more time and effort. And the time spent on something has a direct relation to its quality.

Long story short, you will become an even greater engineer by drawing and writing out your ideas.
Handpicking, aka gatekeeping, is a core tenet of journalism. It's a requirement of the newsgathering process and determining which facts are relevant (newsworthy) _is_ a reporter's job, while the editorial process provides the necessary checks and balances.
At least I could buy an OPI 5. RPI4 is basically RIP, let me pun about it. Who cares if it is mainlined if there is no way to buy it at all or at a reasonable price.
This has been my experience. I’m really impressed by how well GPT-4 seems to be able to interpolate between problems heavily represented in the training data to create what feels like novelty, eg. Creating a combination of pong and conway’s game of life, but it doesn’t seem to be good at extrapolation.

The type of work I do is highly niche. I’ve recently been working on a specific problem for which there are probably only a hundred at most implementations running on production systems, all of them highly proprietary. I would be surprised if there were any implementations in GPTs training set. With that said, this problem is not actually that complicated. A rudimentary implementation can be done in ~100 lines of code.

I asked GPT-4 to write me an implementation. It knew a decent amount about the problem (probably from Wikipedia). If it was actually capable of something close to reasoning it should have been able to write an implementation, but when it actually started writing code it was reluctant to write more than a skeleton. When I pushed it to implement specific details it completely fell apart and started hallucinating. When I gave it specific information about what it was doing wrong it acknowledged that it made a mistake and simply gave me a new equally wrong hallucination.

The experience calmed my existential fears about my job being taken by AI.
What does this mean? I'm unfamiliar with Teams, the only person I know who uses it is my partner who works for the government (non-technically).
The idea of copyright predates the United States. The English ‘Statute of Anne’ of 1710 is typically cited as the first modern expression.
You can just ask it to give you confidence in the output on a scale 0 to 1
Do any Rockchip chips have good upstream? Number of boards is not at all what I'd look for. Plenty of terrible sbc get made.

The track record of the chipmaker is the important thing, to me. It's not always clear cut. I think now there may be a more formal relationship, but Allwinner used to have good support from purely volunteer Bay Libre.

I'm far from certain but part of me wants to believe that's in sizable part also Allwinner doing a less ship, less ultra-forked job in the first place when they dump their own ugly gross hacked out vendor tree fork, where-as many of these vendor trees are just wildly awful.

Again, just to reiterate, I would never ever use board count as an indicator. Especially these days where there are only 2-4 (at best) chips available for use. Of course there's lots of sbc with this chip: the specs are great, the performance appears impressive, & there's literally no other chips to buy. That the vendor kernel is garbage & maybe there are oodles of little design bugs is like, not a big impediment to releasing hardware. Alas.
It was explained, maybe you didn't connect the reasoning.

First, there are no entities that have the amount of capital needed to keep the bond market moving besides banks. This is a $50 trillion market that makes the stock market look like a lemonade stand. I would suggest you do some research on the bond markets, it will become immediately apparent why only central and private banks have the capital necessary to drive it.

It's the nature of a credit/debt based system, which is currently in a booming credit cycle (although perhaps the end of the cycle)

As to why do banks need tax money for bailouts?

The banks don't need tax money, if you're willing to let banks fail - which would likely be healthy in the long run.

But in the short term, Joe Middle Class can't get a car loan to get a car, Wealthy Sally can't get a business loan to start a company and employ 50 people, Minimum Wage Mike can't get a home loan after saving up money for 25 years.

It's certainly a shame that banks basically face no consequences and the taxpayer has to pay for it. But people's perspective on bank bailouts changes quickly when they realize the "side effects" are their credit cards no longer exist and their loan rates tripled.
Personally I've standardized on "DietPi" which is functionally a super-stripped down Debian.
Neutral is a thing. Not always possible, but sometimes achievable.

Neutral in regards to Ukraine v Russia is not having an unquestioning lovefest for Ukrainian leadership.

Recently a major news outlet reported on the conditions Russian prisoners (in Ukrainian custody) were kept under.

It was very clear they did not have the ability to freely question prisoners, or freely move around the facility.

That’s normal. But it’s very important to point out. That’s responsible journalism.

Frankly fewer puff pieces of Zelenskyy, and a more critical look at his relationship with the tv production company that made him president would be nice.

There’s no need to maintain a false equivalence. But there are too many unquestioning puff pieces.
I don't subscribe to many services, but I would subscribe to NPR if I could get it ad free.
Do you have concrete examples of stuff you figure out instead of looking it up? I'm not going to figure out the population of the Liechtenstein, I'm going to look it up.
That's pretty interesting. I just started using it for tracking my calories. I'm usually overwhelmed by looking up all the calories in all the components of my meal, but if I can just say "I cooked a chicken breast in olive oil, boiled a cup of rice, and put four white button mushrooms in it. How many calories is that?", it saves me a lot of time and effort.
Yeah who needs well-being, a healthy back or cardiovascular health anyway?
Polaroid film, that's real money.
I tried asking GPT-4 a math question and it does do math:

Me: "What (8 * 25) / 14 + 4 - 2?"

AI: "Let's break down the expression and solve it step by step:

Multiply 8 and 25: 8 * 25 = 200
Divide the result by 14: 200 / 14 ≈ 14.2857 (rounded to four decimal places)
Add 4 to the result: 14.2857 + 4 = 18.2857
Subtract 2 from the result: 18.2857 - 2 = 16.2857 (rounded to four decimal places)

So, the result of the expression (8 * 25) / 14 + 4 - 2 is approximately 16.2857."
> if anyone is going to brainwash you and turn you into an assett it should be your own government.

The human brain cares just about as much about where propaganda is coming from as evolution has a goal in mind. With that, if the US wants to outcompete China on propaganda, then we've already lost. As long as there's a country willing to go one step farther than we will, we're fighting a battle we can't win.
That is because housing is coupled to the stock market. Stock market and real economy are two different things by now, or should be treated as such conceptually.

Google: “No True Scotsman”

Another recent front page HN story talks about ChatGPT and other advances in AI. So, defining “no true Scotsman” would be within AI’s wheelhouse. I think Openai needs to verbify the act of using GPTx to summarise ideas.
This is a poor comparison. Unlike crypto, AI today already has real world uses. And AI is growing exponentially, it's getting better and better with each month. Models can also be trained for specific purposes, resulting in more accurate outcomes. Many jobs today can already be completely replaced with AI.
That poster didn’t mention abiogenic oil
Yeah you’re gonna have to async once to get the binary thing canvas works well with, but if it’s even remotely stable you can just memoize shuttling ImageBitmap back in as needed. For my use case it was just literally redrawing the same background image things get drawn on top of with an internal data structure that translates to canvas API. Switching from async calls to ImageBitmap basically made the difference between “this flickering is making me question medical facts about myself” and “I can see it lag if I’m trying really hard”. Which isn’t great but it’s more than good enough for what I was trying to solve.
"patent trolls" is an unhelpful term because it is in the eye of the beholder.

Was Amazon being a patent troll patenting single-click-to-purchase? Was Apple a troll in patenting Swipe to Unlock? They were using those patents in their products.

On the other hand is the Tolkien Estate patent trolls? They're not producing anything new.)

If I have a dozen patents, and some company wants to buy them from me, is that any different to me selling my company? Surely I can sell my assets?

The root issue are not "patent trolls". Being sued by Amazon is no less disruptive than by Trolls r US.

The root issue is the nature of the patents being issued.

The root of copyright issues are (mostly) not about actual copyright, but the length of copyright.
I don't see how that works in a world truly without copyright.

You can't spend hundreds of millions making GTA6 if the first person you sell it to can give away copies.

You don't even need AI to make a good salad, someone can program a robot with pre-made recipes.

Still a problem from a USA national security standpoint.

But absolutely agreed -- as a user, I can't trust any of these governments or companies. The only things I do trust are E2EE services that don't collect unnecessary personal data in the first place.
A hundred and fifty years ago, not only was it legal to kill American-Indians, but the US and various state governments were paying people to. This ranged from sponsoring militias in California slaughtering entire settlements to paying individuals in Minnesota a $75 bounty per Dakota scalp.

Even in that time, there were many who could see that regardless of laws, the slaughter was not ethical. Others, committed atrocities for profit and consoled themselves that they were following the law.

It’s generally a bad sign when someone answers questions of ethics with law. People constrained only by the law with no further ethical concerns do terrible things, right up to the limit of what the legal system they live under allows.

To be clear, I am not claiming sama is unconcerned with ethics. I’m pushing back against conflating ethics with legality.

I reject the premise this is a bug. The author picked this implementation with whatever side effects. The author might want some requests to cancel in some situations. It's upto OpenAI to decide if the implementation works for their setup.

Great article! Couldn't agree more! I too have realized that when communicating in the async era, more clarity in writing leads to less wasted time. I re-read my messages when sending them to someone to ensure they are clear.

Billions of dollars have been given in aid to Vietnam and similar as well. The Marshall plan isn't an outlier in size, most poor countries have been given more, the only special thing about the Marshall plan is that it was successful not that it was a large amount.

Mulaney too. Maybe something Netflix asks the comedians to do? Since the shows get officially filmed for a later streaming release.
“Remote technical support” is a very broad category.

LanguageTool is free and open source.
I am using it to write documentation for the product that I'm building. It's an app builder and requires extensive documentation. I spit out thoughts on to ChatGPT and ask it to structure those thoughts into a structure and complete sentences. It would take me 3x time to structure it myself. But I wonder if this means I'm getting lazy?
> expecting the error message to somehow do that work for you, which is often impossible

But that is in part also because many error messages are closer to "there was an error" than providing full context info. These few minutes more invested into proper error messages can save many many man hours down the line.
I wear a watch and trained myself to just not take out my phone at social events. It's kind of a cool feeling to know you just don't need to look at it. Like learning to be comfortable in silence/boredom. And it does help me engage more with people and the world around me. Frees me up to think more.

There's no secret or magic trick. Just keep it in your pocket and don't take it out.

The past week I used GPT for about 80% of my commit messages. I put it in a terminal command so all I type is 'commit' and that's equivalent to: git add . && git commit -m "message" && git push.

The message is generated automatically via the GPT API.

I made it public in case anyone else wants to try/use/fork it:

https://github.com/stevecondylios/gpt-generated-commit-messa...

It's very convenient for README and docs changes; small changes whose commit message really doesn't matter, saving a bit of time and mental energy and allowing you to stay on task.
Ask HN: Will Sundar face consequences for Google's stagnation and AI fiascos?
It's no surprise that over the past several years Google has been stagnating. Look at their progress in cloud and AI. Most of their actions are merely reactions. I think Sundar should be held accountable for this and face consequences. Thoughts?
NotionApps – Convert Notion databases into beautiful apps in minutes
NotionApps (www.notionapps.com) is a tool to build mobile apps from Notion databases without any coding. For those familiar with no-code, our tool can be likened to what Appsheet/Glide is to Google Sheets or Stacker/Softr to Airtable.
Our beta is live, in this version you can build view-only public apps. We are adding new features every week with the goal to provide the best app-building experience on Notion.
The point is adding a couple components can improve GPT-4 significantly, as shown above. The data it originally trained with is presumably held constant in the evaluation above.
Isn't this answerable by destroying the physical copy? (not saying that IA took this action, just saying that it removes the complaint of dual use)
I try to use it as a tutor while studying. When I run into something that I don't understand then I start asking it questions, often times asking it to "explain like I'm 5". Overall it's been really helpful. Now I don't have to rely on search engine results (which is nearly an entire page full of ads at this point). I also don't have to spend time posting questions on the Stack Exchange sites, worrying about the nitty gritty details of how I phrased the question. With ChatGPT I can ask really specific questions right as they come up, and instantly get an answer.

I have noticed that it gives me wrong answers quite often. This can be a problem if what I'm asking is too far out of my depth. My strategy for dealing with the potential false information is to 1) Be suspicious of any answer it gives me. 2) Ask it, "Are you sure about that?" (lol) 3) Ask questions that tie into things that I do know, so that it's easier to detect potential wrong answers. I think that the process of being suspicious and critical of the answers also helps me learn, since I'm forced to basically try and prove why it is right or wrong after I get an answer.

So, overall I'm using it to enhance my learning rather than, "do work" for me.
Looks like the google hashcode is gone as well. Sad.

AT1 bonds are specifically designed for this purpose though. They offer high returns but at a higher risk. How would one collateralize an asset that is designed to default catastrophically while hiding this fact from the lender?
If we don't replace the current flavour of democracy with something better there won't be much society in a few years (10s, 100s). The next level beyond democracy is tiered, time-limited, and retractable sortism [1]: some kind of a return to roots (Athenian democracy), but with a twist. A quick way to sketch it would look like this:

(i) no functionaries: run all the administrative jobs not in an office by Margaret and John, but in some cluster of computers;

(ii) no political nominations: instead of having elections between Side A vs Side B (vs Side C in non-US countries), all the decision-making positions are up to vote by name and all the candidates are sorted out randomly from the totality of the populace (no candidate can have more than 2 mandates);

(iii) negative vote: all ballots have a special box "No One" invalidating all the candidates (if the majority votes "No One") or reducing the duration of the mandate;

(iv) the duration of the mandate correlated with voter turnout (if 30% of the populace vote, you don't get 100% of the 4-year mandate, you get 1.2 years of mandate);

(v) the vote no longer a fact (you voted for X one time), but a process (you are maintaining your vote for X today also); when a majority of people retract their vote for a certain decision-maker they automatically lose their position of power.

OK. A typical key costs, what, $1? Would you hand me all your keys?

You can trust me. The economics of stealing some cheap pieces of metal are pretty silly.
I think you phrased this well and it's something I've been feeling about Youtube also. It's like Podcasters and Youtubers all follow some pre-baked format which they perceive as the one which gets most clicks or they are blindly following some other popular Podcast/Youtuber.

I find this especially grating on Youtube where all the title cards look the same, there is a lengthy intro/outro, person trying to add loads of "wacky" humor, constant shifts in tone and topic, basically seeming like it's made for people with the attention span of a fly.

I really just want something bare-bones, the bare minimum of music intros and interludes, not trying to be overly funny or preaching every episode, just give me the facts and details in depth, and don't try to over-produce it.
I think the biggest effort is being made by Pine64, the makers of PinePhone. Their PinePhone Pro used Rockchip's RK3399 which now has good mainline support (part of the selling point of the PinePhone Pro).

> Compilers didn't replace coders, they just changed the nature of coding. AI doesn't change coding, but it may change the nature of coding in some ways.

This is a poor comparison. AI itself does the coding. GPT-4 can already write code from scratch with high accuracy. At this stage, it still needs a person to review it, but since AI is growing exponentially and can learn how to review code, this will definitely change soon.

And no, this isn't limited to simple coding problems. GPT-4 has been shown to be able to solve complex problems. We're still in the very early stages of AI and it can already do at least 50% of the work by itself, and that's a low estimate.
Personal thoughts and feelings about k8s aside, please don't conflate the requirements of EKS, Amazon's managed k8s offering of which they are fit to do what they do best and tightly knit their own products to come up with a solution, with k8s as a whole. You're perfectly welcome to deploy your own k8s with static IPs for ingress to nginx if you'd like on AWS, as you can anywhere.
I use it to help find answers more quickly than googling and scrolling through docs.

I like these kind of comments. They’re much more analytical than the ones predicting recessions and what not.

Seems like in economics it’s also useful to analyze qualitatively. Of course you cannot run doomsday headlines with that.
