That's incredibly depressing. I feel like the better solution would be to have an honest conversation with your wife that you need some alone time rather than waste it sitting in traffic.

Twin Oaks in Virginia has been going for over half a century, and other such places exist all over the US.

Some hippy communes failed, or just decided to break up, but religious communes fail as well.
> Do you expect a prompt for every website you visit (Would you like to allow permission for Firefox/Chrome/whatever to view/store your password for "abcd.example.com"?)

This is pretty much exactly how macOS Safari prompts, and has for several years, at least in Touch ID scenarios. It shows a suggested username/identity with a Touch ID icon next to it, presented just like a normal autofill suggestion otherwise.

The per-site prompt and the inclusion of username/identity are really good signals, and feel like they reinforce the opposite of Windows UAC. They definitely gate access in a similarly repetitive way which encourages repetitive acceptance. But they demonstrate prior authorization that would have to be manual at least once at some point before the prompt, and you won’t be promoted the same way for sites you didn’t manually authorize first.

It’s a good enough signal that I generally use it as my first line of defense against phishing/domain spoofing. If I don’t get promoted for credentials for a service I expect to have an account with, I’m immediately suspicious. That doesn’t mean I automatically trust or distrust on that alone, but it’s a pretty decent sniff test.

> people tried to open a competing bank that would pass through this interest rate to depositors the were denied a license by the Fed

Matt Levine summarized the Fed's points well [1]. They're sensible reasons, though I suspect they could be solved with the right policy treatment. (For example, limiting depositors to natural persons and paying a lower interest rate on reserves.)

One of the things that is amazing about APFS is that some iOS updates prior to 10.3 would do a simulated update of the entire filesystem system as part of the update process across the entire iOS userbase. The devs would then take diagnostic data of failed mock upgrades in order to refine the process before the mostly non-event that 10.3 actually was.
> might as well argue that a plane isn’t a real bird or a car isn’t a real horse.

They aren’t though… They are far superior at specific things birds and horses are known for, but they can’t do everything that birds and horses can, so they aren’t even artificial birds and horses.
Do you really need to go back to your car, open your trunk, get the wallet just to show your ID?

Passwords are my ID, sometimes I have to enter them onto another computer or app or just share them with someone; I shouldn’t need to hunt my ID in the trunk of my car.

Keychain Access did this right decades ago, so there’s some logic behind it. The issue is that the app is not built for this decade and its UI is lacking.
Georgian script is pretty nice too.
I don't think we disagree. The video says the translation will be "readable" but needs several days of an experienced editor passing over it. That's an amazing result, but again, it's not as good as a human yet. It's way faster and it'll make media accessible to tons of people.

Like he says, there's lots of ambiguity in Japanese that needs to be handled, gender not being specified until later, etc. and an editor would need to spend time going over it - but it saves months of traditional work. There are words and _concepts_ that are hard to translate, there are cultural issues, dialects, slang, registers. So yeah it'll make the media accessible, but it won't be as a good as a skilled translator.
Very cool I uploaded a project kick-off doc and it did a fantastic job of summarizing the key points. I'm really stoked about the ChatGPT-meets-all-your-docs tooling that will come to help employees onboard quicker without having to talk to another human!
For any US-friendly country TikTok is actually better because China is less likely to both have extradition agreements with US-friendly countries and to reach out do extra-judicial "things" to people it doesn't like, than the US (so long as you're not a Chinese ex-pat, China does seemingly like tapping it's non-resident citizens on the shoulder as a reminder).

The "proper" (ie. snowball's chance in hell) way to fight the problem would be to introduce laws around the tracking, gathering, storing, analysing, packaging, selling, and buying of individual / user profile data.

Tell you what though, if the Fed wants employment figures to go down, such a law would certainly have that effect, lots of companies (that I wouldn't shed a tear over) would be hitting the skids real fast.

The US economy is too dependent upon it though. Gross.
Although I personally dislike product people, I recognize the value they have to organizations focused on growth. But when you're facing a recession you probably only need a fraction of them.

If you have a choice between descriptions or performance, I humbly suggest detailed descriptions perhaps with links to tutorials and/or further reading. Who cares if the wrong thing is returned quickly if that means it lacks any context.

Also, consider how to express anchoring and/or grouping preferences in the UI or weighting based on highlight positioning. These are oft used features of regex languages.
My favorite personal Fortran story: I was passing by a WAY SMARTER THAN I COULD EVER HOPE FOR guy who was pouring over a two inch Print-out of some scientific code. He had been trying to troubleshoot a problem. I guess a comma was in the 80th column, which I recall presents an error. In my passing by, I pointed out the error (one second) and I always had his respect after that.
This is not correct. They distribute interest to 'depositors'. See reverse repo market. They're printing citizens' money and giving it to rich people just for being rich.

Also, if banks go bankrupt and then the individuals and businesses which they made loans to go bankrupt (which is actually not that uncommon; see SVB), the Fed cannot get that money back, the average citizen is the loser again...

So as you can see, the money is not always paid back.

The Fed just prints money, that's a fact. The "it's just loans" narrative is false rhetoric.

If there was no such thing as bankruptcy and debts were always passed on to borrowers' children and the government couldn't just keep taking out bigger loans to pay back their old loans and give huge contracts to big corporations ad-infinitum, then we could talk. Anything other than that and we have money printing going on; paid for by regular, honest, hard-working citizens through inflation and taxes.
The excerpts in that thread do not back up the central claim they make in the first tweet, which is that

> It gives the government authority over all forms of communication domestic or abroad

I personally don't think this TikTok panic is justified.
The bill grants the executive the authority to designate entites under the jurisdiction of a foreign adversary (like China) as threats to national security and to prohibit transactions with those entities. That seems bad enough; it should be discussed in terms of what it does, and not along sensationalist lines.
"Liberator" implies it was locked down. But notes content has always been easily accessible with AppleScript.
Or invest directly in federal government obligations through a federal money market mutual fund, even. That way there's no bank in the middle trying to undercut you on rates. Instead, you more or less receive the fed's rate directly.
I can't vouch for the correctness obviously.

Therein lies the rub. There's a huge gap between what LLMs can currently do (spit back something in a target language that gives you the basic idea, however awkwardly phrased, of what was said in the source language). And what is actually needed for idiomatic, reasonably error-free translation.

By "reasonably error-free" I mean, say, requiring a human correction for less than 5 percent of all sentences. Current LLMs are nowhere near that level, even for resource-rich language pairs.
.zip feels like it might get annoying for auto-linking in text messages, but this is a great set of actually-generic ones.

A house in America is an investment and it's considered a depreciating asset for tax purposes, which means that even if it isn't a good investment, it's subsidized against taxes over a long term. A car is an asset that simply depreciates the second you buy it.
I've not seen the Unreal Engine demo, but I think GPT-4 is a big leap in a much more general purpose innovation than an improvement in a video game engine. The improvements to the GPT system have created quite a lot of buzz, as we are all still trying to figure out what it means.

One thing to note is that ChatGPT is still GPT-3.5 sometimes. Their page says it is GPT-4 if capacity is available, but I suspect GPT-4 might be pretty busy right now. You can pay $20/mo for GPT-4, which I am close to doing just to try it more.

But from what I have heard, GPT-4 is going to be better at answering those coding questions, and plenty of people here are paying for that, so this might explain why you are underwhelmed and other people are enthusiastic. I was pretty dismissive of this stuff, recently tweeting that ChatGPT made for a poor rubber duck, but my friend has convinced me to pay a little more attention, and now I am seeing some of the value people are talking about.
The problem is that the integrated managers really do work best on platform, i.e. alternatives aren’t nearly as well-integrated.

So here I am using Safari on my computer and phone.
To me part of having any reasonable claim to being "better" as a country involves having a better reason for doing something than "well they did it to us first".
Dollars are a liability of the Fed. If they were to print dollars and keep them then that would increase both sides of the balance sheet without changing the amount of equity.

Did you use a dedicated database from the start of your project? Or did you use a simpler one like sqlite and then scaled up to your current architecture when you got more users/load to your site?
What does it mean to really understand the meaning of a pattern? An answer that is not a simple "look at ChatGPT, it fails at this task", since in most cases it is already no problem for GPT-4, and does not really prove that this particular task cannot be solved by a LLM.

Also I see, "super-spell checker" is the new "fancy markov chain".
Show HN: Morse Code Camera
I made an IOS app for transmitting Morse code through the flashlight and decoding Morse code through the camera. I had the idea a while ago and didn't see any decent implementations so I decided to have a go at it. Let me know what you think!

There is also an Android app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wpeery.mor.... However, it is a bit less polished as it was the one I ended up making first. I may go back and update it to be more inline with the IOS app if I get the time.

That's not fair at all. YC has declined to invest in many startups that they didn't think were doing good things. I don't know anything about the thought process in this particular case but you're miles off base with "Moral is the last thing YC cared about".
> they run pretty much everywhere they're allowed to.

Yep, they’re allowed to run on Chrome, that’s Google’s platform.

Good luck using your Chrome/Google passwords outside Chrome/Google apps.

Firefox at least does (or used to) offer a Lockbox app to use the password on your phone.
Forcing a sale to a trusted owner and complete audit of the codebase/infrastructure solves the problem in a much better way. I'm not sure why TikTok needs to be banned.

If TikTok would rather close than sell, that's fine too. In general I don't agree with government forcing things like these, but if they're going to intervene at least do it right.

Banning it outright comes across as a handout to the other social media companies
“LLMs can't to my knowledge process a request into a lookup on say an actual database of facts at the moment or parse a request into API actions.”

Both Bing chat and ChatGPT plugins are examples of being able to do just this.

You’re right about how they make up answers though, but humans are often quite prone to that too…
Yeah, ads (for free users) and Premium membership which removes them and unlock features.
.DS_Store is not part of HFS+ or APFS. It's a kludge to give the OSX Finder a place to store its own metadata.

MacOS prior to X had much more elegant solutions to the problem. To this day, when you switch to/from icon/list view in the Finder, more windows than just the current one switch. In MacOS 9 that loosey-goosey unpredictable behavior never happened.
Agreed.

The US seems to be trying very hard to win the race to the bottom these days though.

Last night I used GPT-4 to translate the first several pages of Ted Chiang's Lifecycle of Software Objects (a sci-fi piece) from English to Chinese. I'd say it's about as good as me, save a few minor errors. It's safe to say it performs better than a "tired me", and some translators I've seen on the market.

I'm a native speaker of Chinese, but not a professional translator.
How did you do that? Do you have an app you recommend?
The moral panic of the era.

Whether it's the internet, rock n roll, dungeons and dragons, Elvis gyrating his hips, the red scare, mods and rockers, violence in games, or even the printed word, there's always someone coming out and saying "X has turned everyone into Y".

Let people enjoy things.

So your "For You" will now be a bunch of Elon fanboys and former Truth Social / Parker users :)

"For You" was never inundated by bots / foreign influencers, that's not what this change is trying to address.
And I think this type of opinion goes too far in the other direction and essentially accuses the common person of being a complete ignoramus.

> they’ll just pay whatever they can maximally afford per month for a house that most closely matches what they need for their present life

Right, and if you ditch a 3% mortgage in favor of a 6% mortgage your monthly spend goes way less far. You're looking at a loan payment that increases by about 40%.
This is true, and yet, deficit is still growing. Welcome the united states of Argentina.
> You realize those empires that practiced polygamy were brutally oppressive, yes?

OP was talking about stability, not oppression. The Amish are oppressive, though not seemingly in a brutal way. Many societies with similar values to the Amish were also extremely oppressive.

Regardless, I gave examples of incredibly brutal societies that valued monogamous marriage and sex for procreation. My whole point is that these variables have nothing to do with whether a society is stable, but it's also true that they have nothing to do with whether a society is nice to live in.

Even without training the model, it will still end up in logs. For example you can now see your previous questions in the UI and it'll probably be stored in other places of their backend too.

This is still a serious data loss risk.
The debate over what kind of intelligence these models possess is rightly lively and ongoing.

It’s clear that at the least, they can decipher very numerous patterns across a wide range of conceptual depths — it’s an architectural advance easily on the the level of the convolutional neural network, if not even more profound. The idea that NLP is “solved” isn’t a crazy notion, though I won’t take a side on that.

That said, it’s equally obvious that they are not AGI unless you have a really uninspired and self-limiting definition of AGI. They are purely feedforward aside from the single generated token that becomes part of the input to the next iteration. Multimodality has not been incorporated (aside from possibly a limited form in GPT-4). Real-world decision-making and agency is entirely outside the bounds of what these models can conceive or act towards.

Effectively and by design these models are computational behemoths trained to do one singular task only — wring a large textual input though an enormous interconnected web of calculations purely in service of distilling everything down to a single word as output, a hopefully plausible guess at what’s next given what’s been seen.
Let's see if there is anything of value in between those two extreme viewpoints...

Reality is cruel and often sad, and for our own sake our brain tricks us into believing it's all pink, making us optimistic, delusional and stupid.

On the other hand, contemplating all the time just how cruel and vain everything is left us depressed and unmotivated and eventually makes life useless and worthless.

Well, then maybe we could aim for the middle, aknowledge that our brain has a tendency to paint everything either pink or black, but that with some little effort it's not so hard to recognize these trends when they happen and navigate in between, and be realistically satisfied that we can actually achieve to do that and be happy without delusion?
It does not say that there actually was a $600 Hamas transaction at all, you just invented that in your head. It just said that one couldn’t purchase an AK with one. It was a hypothetical example of a small sum because he was saying that’s how terrorists do it to avoid notice.
Of course they aren't. The point is that it's irrelevant.
what matters is that the plane still flies, the car still drives and the boat still sails.

For the people who are now salivating at their potential, or dreading the possibility of being made redundant by them, these large language models are already intelligent enough to matter.

Handwringing bout some non-existent difference between "true understanding" and "fake understanding" which by the way nobody seems to be able to actually distinguish (I mean wow such a supposed huge difference and you can't even show me what that is. a distinction you can't test for is not a distinction ) is so far beyond the point, it's increasingly maddening to read.
Office space is a computer desk, a decent chair, power, network, coffee. I expect I’ll always have that stuff at home, working or not. I even have a B&W laser (though only my gaming PC has a driver).
> distribute interest to 'depositors'. See reverse repo market

You're thinking of interest on excess reserves (IOER): interest paid to banks (as the Fed's depositors) to encourage them to hold excess reserves and not lend them out. Reverse repos are open-market operations; they're the Fed borrowing money against its collateral, thereby sucking liquidity from the system.
Facebook turned everyone into mini-screen-fixated zombies starting a decade ago. Did you want that banned?

TikTok is just tweaking the playbook. More power to them, it's a free country!
I had originally misread that as a New Jersey company, and it makes more sense now that I realize it must mean the Channel island.
I mean, if you wanted to add no value to GPT, yes. The value of any 'read a pdf' app should be that it traverses the full document as needed for a query, copying into its internal context what may be relevant, re-iterating until the true answer is found regardless of whether it's scattered through the large document. Bing and the OP app both have as author says a "layer" that should do that but currently

- Bing isn't using the layer right - it can search the whole internet to orchestrate context for itself but doesn't seem set-up to so search one doc

- OP app seems to crash after a while

- the third service i forget the name of which has been shown on here (something to do with 'pdf') similarly to Bing doesn't 'search around' in long documents appropriately
Which version of GPT are you using?
I never really used anything in the apple ecosystem until the m1 came out. It was such an interesting device that I wound up picking it up.

I was reading about macos' history with filesystems a while back and apparently they were considering switching to zfs at some point but instead decided to design apfs as their own in house next gen filesystem. In my experience with it it seems to lack almost all of the features that would have made zfs interesting. One of the most obvious usecases would be for something like time machine. I have a parallels virtual machine that is hundreds of gigabytes in size and as far as I can tell that each time you modify even a single byte in that vm it will need to backup the entire file all over again. not only is this infeasible in the amount of space it would require it's also infeasible in that every time I do a backup i would need to spend the time transfering the whole thing all over again. this is also one of the biggest problems that next gen filesystems were designed to solve. is it really the case that apple's next generation filesystem doesn't support snapshots or block level replication when one of their most obvious usecases for it would be time machine backups?
On the flip side, Democrats are just the Republicans from two decades ago. Biden pushing for stronger border patrols, shutting down striking unions, and opening oil drilling is pretty bog standard Republicanism from the 2000s.

The two parties differ in how they view some minorities, but honestly, they're pretty alike in the broad strokes.

Oh to have an actual leftist party in the states.
Google wasn't yet evil when most people adopted Gmail.

And corporations have strict agreements with their providers. They are even required to in many cases due to GDPR and the likes. Users connecting to ChatGPT on their own accounts bypass this.
