This can also be interpreted differently: there is so much distrust with respect to the privacy that US or Chinese products provide that it does not have to be "good" to still get accepted.

Have you been to Europe outside of its big touristy capitals? To describe the younger generation as "largely English-speaking" is absurd. I'm from a medium-sized city in northern France. Go there and try speaking English to the young people in the street. See where that gets you.

iOS is really the game changer

Agreed, but not by being first. Apple won by waiting till the time was right, all the technology was mature and then executing everything better than everybody else. And if we look across the past decade or so we'll find plenty of times that Apple and iOS copied features first seen in Android phones.
Vue 3 and Svelte feel very similar to use. I prefer Vue because of the ecosystem. Using it with TypeScript and Pinia is pure joy!

In general, the low IM app usage just means that mobile phone plans are cheap. It's not like the US where you have to take a payday loan to send more than five SMS a month.
Yes and then sort of no, but YES.

The largest expense for running an ER is dealing with people that use it as a homeless shelter. I have first and second hand knowledge of this.

Weather gets cold? Visit Er. Due to federal regulation, even if a person visits 13 times a day (facility record btw) they can’t be turned away.

Progress needs to be made on both avenues. ERs need the ability to turn expensive frequent fliers away and be absolved of liability, but also shelter programs that are metrics based (job placement, illicit substance abuse, participation in mental health) need private funding.

California funds an enormous prison population, a significant portion of them are non violent or victimless crimes. So that being said, the money is already available.
This is the approach that Windows Phone pushed. When they realized they were late to the party, pushing "standardized" PWAs made most sense. They even had quite a lot of tools to make it easy to encapsulate a normal website in a PWA and submit it to their store. But still it didn't catch on... I don't really see why this time would be different.

I don’t see where you might experience incompleteness in pacman, although I might see how you could experience it to be clunky. Do you mind humouring me and explaining this further?

I’m also not sure where dnf is more flexible, although I probably never explored it fully. What do you find about pacman to be inflexible?

This I most definitely understand. Even after over a year of using pacman I don’t try to understand why flags are named what they are (looking at you —-Sync), but having memorised them I do quite enjoy pacman.

There's a bunch of other social media services (Line does something similar, mixi does too) that force some anchoring to a mobile phone, probably to guarantee access to the phone number and be sure to have you use the service on the go.

I think they care less about being native than having direct access to your phone and data. An alternative OS giving similar privileges to PWA could probably be rubber stamped by these services. (do we want that though ?)
That is a huge leap into personhood and very human concepts that depend on having volition, motives, feelings, and self-awareness or consciousness. I don't think these are necessary connected to understanding. IMHO it's possible to have full understanding of all of the concepts in the world while only seeing the world as a data snapshot, without being an entity capable of participating in it, without having any feelings, self-awareness, or even any sensory inputs or memory of own experiences.

Laws, courts, and their punishments are for humans, and they're likely to be absurdly bad at dealing with a personified AI. AI won't feel fear or remorse, may not have self-preservation as a goal, so it may not care about any threats at all. It may not even have sensory input needed to be aware of being punished.

Which of techniques in the studies in TFA are you referring to? EEG or fMRI?

> more studies are needed before clinicians can use these tools to accurately diagnose mental illness

Doesn't sound like something a phrenologist would say. The goal is detecting mental illness, not classifying people as inferior. Phrenology studied the shape of a person's cranium, not their brain activity.

Did you find faults in the studies they cited, or just read the headline?
For it to be good, it should also have a specific system prompt and chat history, which is fed to the model. With langchain this isn’t too difficult to build, but it’s not just a web ui.

This one doesn’t appear to use a custom prompt, so I’m guessing it doesn’t perform as well as ChatGPT, but it does look like it passes message history.

Ha ha ha. You know what happens when you "assume," right? I work for a Fortune 250 with 30K employees. We just "upgraded" the fleet at the start of the year. We're getting all the crap by default. It takes about 10 seconds for Edge to start and show the landing page with all of the stupid garbage. At least they NO LONGER prevent us from changing the start page on our browsers, and you can turn off the start menu crap. The only thing I can figure is that they got a discount on the licensing for leaving this stuff enabled. Like the general public, I assume that most people inside the company just live it.

Every week or so, my Windows 10 desktop pops up a dialog telling me to upgrade to Windows 11. I spend about a minute looking for the one tiny link to dismiss the dialog without upgrading. I swear it changes locations each time...

Lately I've also had it sprout similar dialogs about converting my local account to a Microsoft account. Those are even harder to thwart, requiring multiple clicks through "Are you sure?" dialogs and dark patterns.

It's easier to bear this little weekly hide-and-seek ritual when you think about it like a small child making bids for attention. "Mommy, Mommy, I hid your glasses! Play with me before you start your workday!" Kind of endearing in its own way.
> I know that some people manipulate words in their heads, others images, I manipulate sounds and images. Language is just a noisy medium through which we communicate the internal state of our brain or its outputs to other people / humans and ourselves.

We are in agreement here. I think you are only strengthening my argument that language is too imprecise and restrictive for LLMs to be fundamentally equivalent to human thinking.

> GPT4 does just fine in some cases and extrapolates just fine in others

"just fine" is not very persuasive here. A nine-year-old can do much better than "just fine" after learning some very simple rules with very minimal examples. And I conjecture that if you removed a lot of the mathematical examples from GTP's training corpus, to be more equivalent to what a nine-year-old has seen, it would do even worse. And it's fundamentally because it cannot break out of its linear language limits and understand numbers as abstract symbols that can be manipulated before converting back into language.

> I don't think that is correct. The human might provide a justification for something but that doesn't mean it is the true reason they reached a conclusion.

Sometimes, yes. What I meant here is that a human can (sometimes - when it is acting intelligently) specifically repeat information they learned and specifically recall the source of that information. This is how our entire scientific process works; we can go back and look up exactly how we derived any piece of our collective knowledge, verify or repeat it if necessary, or build on it further. You're proving my point by the citations you are giving me! (thank you for them) As an intelligent human, you do not "hallucinate" sources, you can provide real ones and provide them directly.

And you can do this because - to go back to my original argument - your intelligence is fundamentally different than an LLM. (That's not an argument that AI is impossible, only that we work differently somehow than what we've seen so far.)
> Pretty sure the plumber is getting (very) decently paid for their work. Pretty sure the people who planned and installed the sewage system were well remunerated.

These are generally not considered desirable jobs so why are you so sure they are paid their due? After all you are using the result of their labour every day, so why are you unwilling to pay more.

> Pretty sure the person who wrote the trashy Harlequin novel in your example has to grind pretty hard to earn enough to buy their, let's say, diabetic medication.

Medical costs don't affect artists more than others and in some countries we have come up with other ways to pay for them collectively.

> And thank you for speaking up on behalf of all artists and kindly telling us all that we should expect 20 years worth of almost nothing out of efforts, instead of a lifetime.

And you can speak for all artsts then? Of course the idea that only copyright holders should have a say about copyright policy is ridiculous in the first place - it has always been a deal between creators and everyone else. If one "side" (and really, these aren't separate sides but mostly overlapping groups) feels that they are getting less out of the deal then the other side can't just say "but I want to be paid forever".

> So licence it CC-0. Or release it to the Public Domain. Knock yourself out.

Or argue for copyright reform. We don't owe it to you to support your choice to make a living off of art - you could always work as a plumber if you thing they are very decently paid.
It is, though. The EU has a unified single market for goods, but not for services. And since most software tries to provide a service, or integrate with businesses that do, EU software companies often struggle to expand to other member states than their native one. There are legal and lingual differences, obviously, but also different ecosystems of private entities that you're expected to integrate with. The EU is really good at making stuff that goes in boxes, though.

I guess most frustrating to me was the request to format the code and fix the commit message as if it was on track, only to be rejected for "we don't want this in the first place".

Plugins suck. There are a lot of people who will not bother to go that route. It immediately raises questions about what OS do they work on, do they cost money, how do I install them?

They include compression and noise gate among others. Enough to clean up my microphone input. But not much in the way of tone control.

"should be fine" - how do you determine this?

There have been many, many cases where I was not able to get GPT-4 to "understand" my problem. No matter how much I tried (until I hit the rate limit for those hours, anyway).

People are throwing these absolutes around, and it's just not totally true.

Much of an engineer's job is to try and implement the correct solution for imperfect requirements, then to go back and quickly fix things to match the real requirements.

What I am saying is you can't get GPT to solve any problem you throw at it. What you can probably do is get it to give you a correct answer that it was trained on. Those are different things.

You can't teach it new information, and often that is required to solve a problem.
Can confirm. Even pre-deck release, Proton was already working amazingly well for almost anything I could throw at it ( I think the last issue I had was with Fallout 76, but that may have been fate saving me and for the best ). I have a dedicated VM to gaming with Windows on it, but, well, I don't have to use it as much anymore. Gaming mostly stopped being an issue for Linux ( for me, I am sure some issues persist ).
I thought it was a typo referring to Reddit.
> so as you clarify, its responses get much closer to the target.

This isn't a given. Plenty of times this isn't true. You cannot convince GPT to answer every problem all the time.

For example, try and teach it a grammar. No matter how many times you try and work with it, you won't be able to.

You can teach almost anyone a grammar if they are inclined to try to fuss through it. Not GPT.

And yes I have used GPT-4 a lot, please don't assume I haven't.

>> and times when GRUB suddenly decided not to boot

I suspect you are dual-booting, which is itself a hacky middle ground full of bugs. Linux and windows will never share a drive well.

>> reduced laptop battery life

??? Odd. I find battery life on my laptops far better on linux, generally because linux knows how to actually stop doing things when asked. Windows, no matter what you do, will randomly decide to install/download something.

>> general UI clunkiness,

For me, the fact that linux UIs don't change every few months, and when they do I can undo them, makes window the clunkier UI. It is monday morning here. I have so far had to restart Outlook twice on my work computer as new "updates" are applied. I'd take a thousand clunky-looking widow borders over MS's daily popup pollution of my screen time.
Counter-review: the level of control is unmatched, but it's a little too extreme, I feel. Even something as simple as a volume widget isn't included OoB. Yes, there are libraries of widgets out there, but not many -- and not always the best quality (memory leaks are unfortunately common, seems to be a screwy lua/GTK interaction).

More importantly: the core framework just outright omits many of the core features that I've come to expect in tiling WMs. There's no support for i3-style window stacks, for example; I've tried several community solutions, but they're all trapped on a too-high abstraction layer and inevitably end up fighting with the WM in ways that you simply never need to deal with in first-class implementations.

All in all, I'm planning on returning to i3wm. For me, it's a bigger struggle to try building up a usable environment from scratch than it is to start with a solid foundation and then replace the undesirable components (i3bar => polybar, bindsym => sxhkd). AwesomeWM is very fun to work with thanks to the great APIs and documentation, but I can only wholeheartedly recommend it if you need absolute and total power over the UI, since that's AwesomeWMs whole schtick.
Now's a good opportunity to ask about alternative Git hosts. What other services do HNers use?

I've been unwilling to host any personal projects on GH after Copilot launched and it because clear that GH/MS doesn't really respect the authors of the code they host. Honestly open source in general has gotten a little less compelling to me after Copilot. The recent security issue at GH has also turned me off even more on Git hosting services.

For closed source projects maybe it's just best to store encrypted backups off site and spin up a self hosted option whenever collaboration is needed. Seems pretty inefficient though.
