Assume we’re talking American football here - it’s a unique sport because you can really only play it legitimately on a team with a lot of equipment and time/resources. So basically if you’re 18 and under (or very talented at playing football).

I played 5 seasons in my life, 4 in high school and it was without a doubt the most fun athletic experience of my entire life. I’ve never really been able to get interested much watching football otherwise because it just isn’t the same. There were a few women on my teams throughout the years (some of the most feminine and badass women I’ve ever met) but it’s unfortunate American football is such a male dominant sport.

It almost seems when people say they like watching football now they mean they like drinking alcohol or playing fantasy.

Idk, always thought it was kind of strange how basically every sport can also be a “pastime” activity but football just turns into a spectator activity after a while.

Edit: not a football quote but makes me think of “people don’t think it be like it is but it do”

Edit2: not a fan of footy/soccer much but really the greatest thing about the sport imo is the simplicity and ability for anyone to play basically whenever wherever and at whatever age. It’s so much more the game of the People as such

Edit3: just rambling here but remember towards the end of last season senior year the coaches said something like “hope you have a lot more better things to look forward to in your life after this, but keep in mind these will be some of the best times of your life”. think about that a lot, and it was never lost on me at the time, but now I’m actually feeling my body age and chit it’s just so true and real.
This feels somewhat pathetic to write out haha but really do miss playing football
unlike anything else.

Last edit: this is literally the last thing I’d ever of thought to be writing about as a comment on HN
I think this some of this is actually forced upon us by technological advancement too.

I started doing photography over the pandemic, I started with a 2009 dslr, because that’s what I had lying around.

Because I did not even know how to expose a photo, it was great, and it felt like it did everything I wanted. I was very used to the layout, the functions, and although it was only 12MP, it took some of my favourite photos. All with lenses worth <300$.

Later I received a new mirrorless, 4K shooting, 24MP camera.
I changed brands, So some of it is on me, but I had to buy new lenses as well.
Getting new $150 lenses was not possible, and it felt wrong to put $150 lens on a $2000 camera.

So I got a few lenses to match. Not only that, but my 2012 MacBook Air was not able to run the latest Lightroom, and the older Lightroom version I had was not able to decode the new raw image format.

So I had to get a new computer as well.

All in all, a gift, that although is very much appreciated, cost me a lot more than the gift itself.

I have no regrets now, the newer sensors, the better tracking, the better lenses, all allow me to take much better photos. But if I would have stayed with my old camera, I would have never known what I was missing.

Oh.
And that includes Google Translate apparently. Chat GPT on the other hand seems able to translate it. Pretty amazing that it can handle a language that has less than 100000 speakers.
I'm no fan of current forms of social media, but let me ask you a question: do communicate or coordinate with others using any apps owned by Meta, Alphabet or Apple? For me, 100% of my connections communicate through these apps. If the law allowed communication and organization through these apps to be controlled by politicians, and some untrustworthy politicians gained power (far fetched, I know, that's never happened /s), they could easily control everyone and prevent any dissent or competition. What would my recourse be?

You argue that social media should be controlled. I can concede that point. The question is, who has control over it? If it's a politician or government, no thanks. If it's me, or you, or any adult or parent controlling it for themselves or their children, yes, by all means.
Every time the doomsday of AI is heralded by some folks here , they go "but-but, Open Source is the solution!"

No, regulation is the solution. Learn about politics, learn the local and federal laws and get on the horn with people if you're so concerned.

A little early to judge, it's been 2 years.
Tell HN: I made a knockoff Stripe Radar using GPT-4
I run a SaaS biz that is low transaction value / high volume. This meant when Stripe introduced their latest policy where you get charged $20 per card dispute no matter if you win or lose it, I decided to try out Stripe Radar's 30 day free trial to help me detect credit card fraud on my site.

It worked well, and I managed to prevent several fraudulent cases using it. However, once the trial period ended I was being charged £0.06 per screened transaction(!). This was becoming really expensive with many transactions.

I noticed during my free trial with Stripe Radar that 90% of the time it's quite easy to eyeball if a credit card payment is fraudulent based off of the number of blocked card attempts from the customer, and the number of cards tried - so I wondered if I could build my own version using the free information available through Stripe's API.

Stripe's docs can be confusing, so I decided to try ChatGPT with GPT-4 for the first time to help write code. I described my task, and it created some beautiful Typescript functions that take in a paymentIntent id, and determines if the payment is fraudulent taking into account failed payment attempts, number of cards, and even IP address, country of origin, and email address - all using Stripe's free API!

I've been using this code for a day and it has already picked up a couple of sketchy transactions, but completely free. It's missing things like "Early Fraud Warnings" and info from "Stripe's Network", but I'm okay with that since it's saving me £0.06/transaction.

This is the first time I've used AI in a professional coding sense for a real problem (not just for fun). I'm actually blown away, not only did it save me a bunch of time coding, but the result is saving/making me money - hence my excitement writing this!

I've been coding for 10 years, but this experience using AI felt like something totally different. It's like gaining a team of developers that you can orchestrate whilst you do less of the typing. It's made me more excited to build things than ever before.

That’s not really jobsian, though.
Quote from your second link:

Every crypto person said the opposite. They said exactly what ChatGPT-hype people are saying now.
How do you handle metadata backups?
> Where, in all my comments, do I say that we must stop counting? You're putting words in my mouth here.

You didn’t say it explicitly. But you are implying it when you assume you can count the naturals.

By assigning a label (eg. aleph-null) to infinity, is assuming you can finish counting them. The only way to finish is by stopping.
I think what makes RTS great to watch is the same thing that made soccer the most watched sport in the world. The game is free-flowing, it's not repetative, decision-making on the spot matters and comebacks aren't very rare.

One bad fight in RTS might lose you the game. 2 minutes of bad defending might lose you a game you were 100% winning in soccer. Same in fighting sports (because of knock-out) and in chess (because of check-mate).

Meanwhile in basketball, volleyball, baseball, MOBA, FPS - if you're winning by 20% your chances of comeback are very low. If you're winning by 50% it's over.

TL; DR: games that are good to watch aren't linear.

From my encounters with mathematically unskilled people: The usage of percentages is very confusing. As in in it is used in "1 in 100" but also there is this "6% increase" which is used for factors 1.06, and that the reciprocal calculation is not a "6% decrease" but a "5.6% decrease". Then on top come usages of yearly or monthly interest rates, etc.

In each context, the percentage needs to be handled and understood differently, which means that even though percentages are everywhere, the knowledge does not automatically "solidify" upon being exposed to percentages for these folks.
I don't understand the math there. So they're selling 72 billion of assets for 55.5 billion + 500 million in stock, but out of 167 billion in assets they're only left with around 90 billion? What happened to the other 5 billion in assets?

And if they get 56 billion out of this deal that should leave 63 billion out of 119 billion in deposits to cover, so if the bailout ends up costing 20 billion that means they're only recovering 43 billion on the remaining 90 billion in assets? Is this some kind of worst case estimate?

A majority of US citizens agree on the broad strokes of what's needed for political and economic progress; they are merely stymied at every opportunity, and systematically divided through propaganda, by those with extreme amounts of wealth and power.

At a certain point in the very near future, it will become necessary to stop heeding the legal and ethical barriers which protect that power.
Same as an Italian, perhaps because it normalized vowels to a sane system, which is pretty far from the English one.

Have worked in government.

The real answer is more that there's a billion committees, each of which has something they absolutely have to push through, because they have to do something to solve the problem.

I’d figure it may generally be possible to reverse the actors here and get GPT3.5 to jailbreak GPT4 as well. For now, “offense” seems much easier than defense.
I also don't get why this line of reasoning doesn't take into account that LLMs can just emit a backspace token in the same way that humans can ask for you to discard their statement.

The probability of a correct answer doesn't have to decrease in the length of the answer.

Epistemologically it certainly makes sense that you need to run a randomized controlled trial at some point to ascertain facts about nature, but alas we humans very rarely do. We primarily consume information and process that.
Even if "correct" isn't a valid term, we can care about consistency and ease of learning.
It's been my biggest frustration with macOS over the years. I've never understood why Apple has never done anything about it. Talked to an Apple engineer once and brought this up and he said that macOS has always been Steve Jobs Opinionated on where window placement should be and what the optimal size should be instead of letting the user decide.
I didn’t say anything about the doomsday scenario, nor that open source is a solution.
This is conditional on there being 2 simultaneous orders, right? If there's a single pickup per restaurant at any given time, the odds are 0, not .02%.
Sure they can. I even think GPT-3 does this by emitting a backspace token.
That probability formula is too general. It can practically model everything. Yan is just hiding behind epsilon. It's like assigning a probability to the origin of the universe. You can just make shit up with a algebraic letter representing a probability.

To illustrate the absurdity of it consider this:

I have a theory for everything. I can predict future. The mathematical equation for that is simply (1 - EPSILON) where EPSILON is the probability of any event not happening. What about the probability of a event happening as a result of the first event? Well that's (1 - EPSILON)^2.

Since this model can model practically everything it just means everything diverges and everything fundamentally can't be controlled. It's basically just modelling entropy.

Really? No. He just tricked himself. The Key here is we need to understand WHAT EPSILON is. We don't, and Yan bringing this formula up ultimately says nothing about anything because it's too general.

Not to mention, Every token should have a different probability. You can't have the same epsilon for every token. You have zero knowledge of the probabilities of every single token therefore they cannot share the same variable, unless you KNOW for a fact the probabilities are the same.

It should be: P_n(Correct) = (1 - Epsilon_n)^n
You should absolutely just do this. 100% the better option. I wanted to learn more about how Apple Notes stores its data and see how I could interact with it.
There’s a local jazz musician named… Jaz. His father was a big fan of the genre and it stuck.

I’ve seen him play at SF Jazz a few times and it seems like his loves his job.
this was funny.

the ads were a bit scary - they were pretty local, and possibly semi-relevant occasionally.
Literally 0 added value here over the other library. In fact, my tool is a net value subtraction from the other library. The other library has way more features and works great! This was mostly a project for my own learning of how Apple Notes stores its data. I honestly didn't expect it do get any attention!

Perspective of an Uber Eats Driver:

Things may be a bit more complicated than this simplistic blog would suggest.

Every restaurant seems to have its own receipt format. Some don't have a name field and uber puts it in the "phone number" field (eg instead of "Name: Arianna" you see "Phone: ARI-IANN-A".

Uber has certain information they need to give the restaurant (its different for each one). The receipt has certain fields (these don't match up all the time). It isn't a simple matter of an identifier that can be fixed.

> No, regulation is the solution. Learn about politics, learn the local and federal laws and get on the horn with people if you’re so concerned.

I have a degree in political science, completed about half of law school before deciding I didn’t want to leave technology, have worked in and around government for most of the last 25 year.

Transparency—and open source plays a big part in this—in the answer. Regulation can be important to, but if there isn’t transparency in the field (even if not for all models, though that will be important) and particularly for anything adopted for important use in administering policy and pressure from the open source community on proprietary vendors, the dangers of AI are magnified.

Yes, I know people tied to the big vendors are selling the idea that opacity and regulatory restrictions are the answer, and I’m telling you read Adam Smith:

The interest of the dealers, however, in any particular branch of trade or manufactures, is always in some respects different from, and even opposite to, that of the public. To widen the market and to narrow the competition, is always the interest of the dealers.

That’s why you hear that story.
Wow that is so cool! I had no idea Notes.app worked with IMAP!
>The amount of people watching is so so much higher than the people who get involved in any particular sport.

I didn't say anything about whether more people who watched sports were active versus passive. This doesn't invalidate my point that professional sports serve as a source of inspiration for people to be active.

Esports inspire exactly zero people to be physically active.
The anger I’m familiar with surrounding bailouts has to do with the government stepping in to rescue banks that, in the eyes of the angered, were engaging in corrupt and risky/greedy practices. Whether the money came from taxpayers, or was truly magically free, this anger would remain.

The most extreme example of this is the Polgár sisters:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judit_Polgár

Judit Polgár (born 23 July 1976) is a Hungarian chess grandmaster, widely regarded as the strongest female chess player of all time.

Polgár and her two older sisters, Grandmaster Susan and International Master Sofia, were part of an educational experiment carried out by their father, László Polgár, in an attempt to prove that children could make exceptional achievements if trained in a specialist subject from a very early age. "Geniuses are made, not born," was László's thesis. He and his wife Klára educated their three daughters at home, with chess as the specialist subject.
I am so done with this bank. Does anyone have a recommendation for a replacement?
Is this not exactly what was meant by "the tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants"? We treat government like a monument to be preserved for posterity, but it is not. Government is a living thing and it follows a cycle of growth and decay that eventually requires culling, just like any other form of life.
I SO AGREE

I’m confused by this-just as things were maybe starting to cool down a bit are they trying to start a bank run again? “All deposits assumed by First–Citizens Bank & Trust Company will continue to be insured by the FDIC up to the insurance limit.” So in other words they just pulled protection for assets over $250K in SVB accounts, transferring them to a small bank with less than half of the deposits of SVB when the run started? Who’s at the steering wheel at the FDIC and are they not coordinating with the Treasury or Fed? Am I missing something or does this seem recklessly premature given the train wreck that is still in the process of being avoided? Are they confident First-Citizens can withstand 25% of deposits getting pulled in a few days because they’re flush with cash and short term treasuries?

“All transferred deposits will be separately insured from any accounts you may already have at First–Citizens Bank & Trust Company for at least six months after the failure of Silicon Valley Bank.” [1]

Sounds like maybe this isn’t an issue but unclear if that’s just an extra $250K insurance in the event you had an existing account there. Maybe unrelated to insurance they're fine because First Citizens bought from SVB at discount/current FMV so they can liquidate assets if needed to meet withdrawals without risk of loss.

can you get at least one snarky, a-holish response along with the useful info to really give you that authentic SO feel?
As part of the society being referenced, I find it very upsetting that you think yourselves in a position to judge this on my behalf.
Public position = gate to corruption, license and regulation = gate to corruption. Do not expect the ones who make the laws to make them against themselves. That is idealist thinking.

If history teqches something is that the more of those, the more corruption and handing of favors and "legal corruption" pops up.

It is not by chance. It is just bc of how incentives are aligned. Those incentives, IMHO, can only be destroyed by strong deregulation and privatization. I dnt know how much of it but certainly a country should not be 45-50% or more GDP going public. Besides that centralized planning (we r going towards that) is usually super inefficient. So it is also a technical problem.

More when the peoople to arrange budgets do not pay a penalty even for their corruption in many cases, let alone for their management mistakes. Lagarde is still there and she gets 400.000 eur per year and took the decisios that made us go to these levels of inflation...on top of that she was involved in a corruption case that prescribed (not sure is the appropriate term in english, translated from spanish) I am no economist but I knew what would happen very likely... do they really pull our leg? I think so honestly.
What's freaks me out even more is that it doesn't seem to be stopping. The better the models get, the more people personify them. It seems the ability to do language intersections with personhood both in our psyche and in the extrapolation of current trends.
