Hi HN! I've built hnterminal, a pip package that lets you browse, upvote, and comment on HN from terminal:

$ pip install hnterminal
$ hnterminal

hnterminal is an interactive REPL environment with commands like "get_front_page", "get_tree", "upvote", "reply_to", etc, each of which supports rich arguments and comes with full help documentation.

On the read side, hnterminal uses the HN API to construct front page and comment trees. On the write side, it reads the webpage and constructs an API response from parsed information. Unfortunately, a write API does not exist for HN (that I know of). Login is accomplished with a login cookie that is only stored in memory as it runs. You don't need to login to browse HN, its only for upvotes and commenting.
Reddit used to have an actual community, things like in person meetups and its own culture based on various in-jokes (bacon,narwhals, etc) and behavior expectations. It was pretty social I'd say, though now it's basically just an aggreator and not that different from google news for various interests.

There's some scope for improvement there.
If you take a look at the Renesas website, you'll find that the product names look like this: "R7FA4M1AB3CFL#HA0". Renesas has a larger portfolio including, e.g., RISC-V chips. What's the problem?
What’s OpenAI long term strategic advantage? Google, has already shown they have something like ChatGPT. They just need a new CEO and to feel enough pressure to make it a company priority. I think it is just a matter of time and all other big players will catch up.

The big problem for Google is not the tech per se, but to figure out how to make money out of it, without destroying their ads cash cow.
For this reason, I use gpt4 mostly just to start off new functions and then I edit them myself.

It would be awesome if gpt4 could be made to edit the code and therefore, it didn’t have to regenerate it from scratch every time.

The regeneration also chews up a lot of the token limit, so it forgets crucial parts earlier on in the conversation.
you don't think removing the racist internal dialogue is destructive???

We definitely disagree on that!
Base gpt-4 already did this.(confidence about something directly correlated with ability to solve problem/answer questions correctly) You can read the technical paper. But the hammer of alignment(RLHF) took it away.
Always consider the possibility the "por qué no los dos" principle applies: for the actual implementers it's an opportunity to work towards the glorification of the new faith, for their bosses it's an opportunity to market through controversy.
The real mind-hack is that people believe it's exclusively one or the other, and argue vociferously against the other side. George Orwell once wrote of the Spanish Civil War:

"Early in life I had noticed that no event is ever correctly reported in a newspaper, but in Spain, for the first time, I saw newspaper reports which did not bear any relation to the facts, not even the relationship which is implied in an ordinary lie. I saw great battles reported where there had been no fighting, and complete silence where hundreds of men had been killed. I saw troops who had fought bravely denounced as cowards and traitors, and others who had never seen a shot fired hailed as the heroes of imaginary victories, and I saw newspapers in London retailing these lies and eager intellectuals building emotional superstructures over events that had never happened. I saw, in fact, history being written not in terms of what happened but of what ought to have happened according to various ‘party lines’."

This has always happened, and it's still happening. Anybody remember the Ghost of Kyiv, or the 'fuck you' surrender?

No, 'everything we see out of Ukraine' is not a lie (which in itself is a false dichotomy: we've seen plenty of 'facts' framed in a way that's explicitly misleading), but the overwhelming preponderance of the evidence of the past ~year, not to mention the rest of human history, suggests that a lot of it probably is.
Hey, thanks for the insight neiboors.
It was indeed a bummer that this disposition got squash.
But to be honest I would have been surprised otherwise.

Even if we don’t have the same addiction to cars as our US friends, European do like the convenience too.

I hope this come back to the table soon, I feel it’s looming indeed.

And hopefully this time politics align. It’s also likely that in 2 years Germany will be on board but France not anymore or some schenanigans like that.
The OpenAI business model seems to become an ecosystem play. Plugins, apis etc. They are new to it, but have a super strong partner with MicroSoft and strong startup experience for it in the leadership team. We will see if Google is able to play that well and not only release research and basic features.

Stereotype? Or observation?
See my experiment trying to write interactive fiction with ChatGPT. In two hours I managed to have it come up with the more advanced interactive narration system ever devised. I don't say this to boast, this is truly leagues ahead of what has been done in this field: the game plays on two planes, action and narration plane, with two characters, one that listen to the narrator, and one that incarnates him in the past. You can argue with the narrator to change the course of the narrated action.

https://old.reddit.com/r/interactivefiction/comments/11z6p84...

Yesterday I went as far as implementing narrator/listener roles reversal. The player can now take over narration. As a result he must write what an IF system would print on the screen, and the IA replies by issuing commands, endorsing the role of the player.

This is unprecedented, all the more so 99% of the work is done by simply asking: "Let's play a session of interactive fiction".

I agree the comparison is a bit unfair since ChatGPT4 did not produce any code, so I would have to compare this against chatting with someone pretending to be an IF system.

But is it ? The most popular language used to write interactive is Inform7. Inform7 is a language that reads like english (a control subset of it) to program text based games the player interacts with using a very limited form of english, the limit being your capacity at handling textual structures using programmatic constructs.

Couldn't we program entirely using natural language this way (and maybe have ChatGPT writing its own Evals on the go) ? To me it looks like a new kind of programming that's mostly conversational rather than instructional. Instead of composing together contextless bricks to build towers of abstraction and striving for easily adaptable/maintainable code, which are consequences of the fact the concepts named in our codebase are influenced by the distributive aspects of meaning in real world ("hey, want to hear the last news ? Management has decided multiple users should be able to manage the same account"), our building material is some kind of primordial plasma of context out of which logical, cartesian, categorical forms can be enticed to emerge by priming the medium. This could become semiotic programming, in contrast to symbolic programming. Another aspect of Inform7 that's particularly interesting is the fact it is built upon a literate programing "web" engine. Seen in juxtaposition to its latent and broken homoiconic tendency and transposed to ChatGPT this makes for very interesting prompts where the lines drawn between documentation, code and programmed material gets blurred, as I explain using text (maybe to myself ?) how to imagine text using text.
I think it falls somewhere between faux woke outrage, and some person who was "triggered" and demanded change. Nasty words were probably used.
What a joke, this should be illegal.
> Apple has been spent many years developing and promoting substantial AR frameworks

...dovetailed with their cut support for SteamVR and the OpenXR standard. In-house APIs are a nice investment, but arguably pointless when everyone's content is built on pre-existing and open frameworks. This whole project feels like a side-pot to me, and Apple themselves are clearly afraid to commit.
Ask HN: Is it safe to send my work code to ChatGPT?
Is there some licensing/NDA aspects I should be aware of before I send the code from work to ChatGPT? Can there be any consequences?

The problem here is fvwm's features rely on server-side rendering, and I've not found anything equivalent for Wayland.

If there were, I'd be full-steam ahead with such a project. Probably using zig.

As it happens, there's bugger all. So it becomes a much larger undertaking if I'm to make a true port of fvwm to Wayland.

Expressed differently, everything will look and feel the same.

What a fucking shit show.

Wayland should die, and the so-called assumptions which lead to Wayland in the first place need re-evaluating.

This whole thing stinks.
I meant the weird focus on dirty streets, rivers and other non-GHG pollution in the developing world when it is GHG emissions from the developed world that is the most pressing existential crisis.

You'd probably just spend 1/20th of your time looking at hardware BOMs.

Freebsd has pretty good compatibility, and if you're buying in sufficient volumes or making / integrating boards from scratch you can just stick to the paved roads. It may not end up being quite as cheap from a BOM perspective, though.
Oh I see, I didn’t realise the character in question was Black. I any case, I think it’s still absurd to change. It’s the character’s observation at the time.
>> so _everyone_ has as access to basic goods and services for free, like education/health/transport/…

Access? UK tries this. High taxes and high borrowing to fund a large public sector. Result:

- People can't reliably see dentists or get doctor's appointments because the nationalized health system can't manage capacity properly.

- People can't reliably move around the country because the public sector transport workers are constantly going on strike, despite Tube drivers earning £56k/yr, only a bit less than that of a software engineer.

Putting the public sector in charge doesn't guarantee access to anything, it can easily lead to the opposite, which is why the USSR was constantly being wracked by bizarre shortages especially for anything that mattered to the general public like consumer goods. And now the UK suffers massive healthcare shortages. Same problem.

I worked customer service for years with a cell carrier in the US. It was tiring hearing everyone's problems with their luxury devices(at that time). I left and got a job at Aetna customer service 6 weeks of training and I walked in the first week on the job.

And all I could say was the plan you have well not cover that because you didn't jump through some ridiculous hoop. A hip that as a young adult I would have struggled to complete let alone a very old person who doesn't understand what is required and there is no one to help him.

Seems like the big feature is 5v compatibility. Most ESP32 boards don't have 5v level shifting.
And I find this very dismissive top comments that seem to try to shun/silence any criticism, discussion or concern as "anti AI" are maddening to read as well.

Any criticism is met with "it'll get better, you MUST buy into the hype and draw all this hyperbolic conclusions or you're a luddite or a denier"

There's some great aspects and some fundamental flaws but somehow, we're not allowed to be very critical of it.

Hackernews looks very similar to Reddit nowadays. If you don't support whatever hype narrative there is, you must be "label".

It's not a simple discussion of "just add more tokens" or "It will get better".
The person I was responding to was suggesting it was a connection to public programs that made private health programs so stingy in denying claims, and I don't see how your answer gets me any closer to understanding what that means.

I'm also not sure what you mean when there's plenty of other examples. Examples of what? I'm still trying to figure out what the "what" is. Private health insurance companies in America ruthlessly deny claims, this is supposedly because of something about public administration of healthcare, and I'm still waiting for an explanation of how that works.
You don't want to know.

This might be an issue with your prompt. Here's what I get for "Our software is crashing constantly when run on laptops with 8GB ram and every 30 minutes when run on laptops with 16Gb ram. Further, our laptops are multiple years old and require frequent maintenance. Write a brief email to my boss asking for approval to purchase 3 laptops with 32GB ram." It's a bit more formal-ish than I'd prefer but with a little tweaking it'd probably get the job done.

"Dear [Boss's name],

I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to request your approval for the purchase of 3 laptops with 32GB RAM.

As you are aware, we have been experiencing frequent software crashes, particularly on laptops with 8GB of RAM, and even on those with 16GB of RAM. This is affecting our productivity and causing delays in our work. Additionally, our current laptops are several years old and require frequent maintenance.

To address these issues and ensure that we can work efficiently and effectively, I believe it is essential that we invest in new laptops with increased RAM capacity. With 32GB of RAM, we will be able to run our software smoothly and reduce the frequency of crashes.

I have researched several options and identified three laptops that meet our requirements and are within our budget. I have attached the details and prices of each laptop for your review.

I would appreciate your prompt approval for this purchase so that we can continue to work without interruptions and complete our projects within the given timeline.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Best regards,

That doesn’t seem like a good description of banks. Banks mostly invest in future income streams like loans and securities. Non-cash assets are valued by their expected cash value. An apartment building is an expected stream of rent money.

Predicting the future is often difficult.
First HPV vaccine was approved in the U.S. in 2006. Should be protecting patients younger than 30. But won't protect them from colon cancer. And here's a report that disputes HPV's causative role in rectal cancer

No matter how much you explain to somebody what an apple tastes like, they'll never be able to truly know without having experienced it. Language is reductive on experience.

Likewise, we have models like gravity that describe planetary motion. It is useful, but by nature of being a model, it's incomplete. Models are also reductive on experience.

Can you see then how a large language model, something that describes and predicts human language, is different than a human that uses language to communicate his experience?
I always have trouble figuring out what to put in my bio. Every five years I'd shift into something new that caught my interest.

After a stint in entertainment I realized that AI was where everything was heading. I took up programming and started studying AI.

I wasn't impressed or motivated by the original iPhone when it was new.

I don't know about the future, but by analogy with the past I would say that GPT-3 was the original iPhone (neat tech demo but I didn't really care), ChatGPT is the iPhone 3G, and GPT-4 is the 3GS.

Looking at the sales graphs on Wikipedia (Q1 2012) I think it took until the 4S to transition from "the next big thing" to "the big thing".

Analogies only rhyme rather than replicate, so don't assume GPT needs exactly two more versions to do the same; might be more, might be less, and Uncanny Valley might trigger a Butlerian Jihad at the last possible moment before fully-general AGI.
When investors build with the intention of renting, they typically build at higher density. The only real barrier producing artificially high demand are policies preventing high density building. This is also the thing which makes housing an attractive investment option in the first place. Improved policy will fix both of these problems.

People keep repeating that google has superior tech. They haven’t released any of it. I’m beginning to think their “AI lead” is a facade.

Google's secret sauce is not its product but how it is able to monetize its userbase. OpenAI isn't going to become Google by launching a better language model and hoping that enough people pay $20/mo for it. It has never really been about search at all. The various forms of user tracking, AdWords, AdSense are all alive and well, and are very far from OpenAI's expertise.

Let's at least wait for the $10B spending cash from Microsoft to run out and the company to become profitable before we crown them Google killers.
Golang prioritizes compile time (hence it took them so long to get Generics), which Rust and Haskell are unlikely to beat, as they both prioritize high-levels of abstractions (more compile time for zero cost abstractions at runtime).

That said, since GHC is implemented in Haskell, the compile time will likely improve if linear type/arrow, or a better runtime (such as optimal reductions), is used by GHC itself.
I've always found the Apple Watch to be more of a fashion accessory or a toy. People seem to really love them and showing them off.

I don't think the value-add is worth the cost in general for remembering "start X program". The major OSs have ways of quickly opening a program with keyboard-only input, anyway.

I think with an external keyboard, especially if you can use it with multiple computers, it's worth looking into customising the keymap on the keyboard itself. e.g. if you want to swap the Command and Option keys, keyboards with customisable firmware like QMK will let you do that.

-- My experience has been that if I've had to adjust OS settings to get the keyboard functionality I want, then I end up not using that keyboard functionality.

(Though, if you do go for an external keyboard, I'd recommend going for one where the spacebar is only 1x or 2x keys wide as other keys, not 5x or 6x as wide as the other keys).
Pengwin is really nice for a Linux distro that is explicitly designed for WSL. It’s just Debian with some custom glue that works really nicely.

It’s not free, but it’s $20 (and I got it on a sale for $10)
Power supply is only up to 16V pins are 3.3V, and it is much more expensive. They are just different products that serve different users. With Arduino you get a 100% working ecosystem there are still a lot of incompatibilities with esp32 (although a lot less these days).
We'll have to see. Personally, I'm hoping Apple uses it as an excuse to patch up industry relations. If Apple/Safari embraced OpenXR, we could see that 'next frontier' of web content that everyone has been preaching since 2007.

Working with the industry seems like it could stand to make a lot more money for Apple. As a Quest competitor it's a hard pill to swallow, but as a high-quality dev kit for cross-platform VR/AR experiences, it could carve a lucrative new segment for itself.
