That would be the benevolent Engelbart version of AI, wouldn’t it?

Instead of dumb capitalism, clickbait and silly content marketing driving human activity, to have an AI that saves us from wasting our time figuring out the answer to questions that have been answered long before. And then, instead, points us to those questions that have not yet been asked, much less answered. What experiments have not yet been done.

After all, no GPT-4, no matter how many billions of parameters, could tell you what the best battery is in the world if it wasn’t for that one human dude in his garage in Denmark, or Latvia, or wherever, who actually tested them all.
Less spying and relative stability if the original install went ok. Of course productivity might suffer in case one uses Windows / Mac only software
They absolutely would. But the probability of them hallucinating an incoming strike is vastly lower.

Mind you, I don't expect anyone to use the stuff that we already have for this purpose. But at some point, someone is going to say, "well, according to this highly respected test, the probability of hallucinations is X, which is low enough", even though we still have no idea what's actually going on inside the black box.
There are also ads inside Apple News, even if you have a subscription.

For me, the benefit of macOS or Windows is that I can keep an install running. With Linux I always end up stuck with a system that doesn't boot, and trying to figure out what happened on the command line. Maybe I should try Nix or Fedora Silverblue
This is only a problem if, somehow, GPT-3.5 (or a similar LLM) is hooked up to US nuclear launch systems, and it's then also made available to someone other than the people who would already be making the decisions about when and where to launch nukes.

Anyone hooking a publicly-accessible system of any kind to our nuclear launch infrastructure needs to be shot. This should be a given, and even supposing there was some reason to hook an LLM up to them, doing so with a public one should simply be considered so obviously stupid that it should be discounted out of hand.

So then we have a threat model of someone with access to the US nuclear launch systems feeding them data that makes them think we are under attack, in order to instigate a nuclear preemptive strike. I don't see how that's meaningfully different from the same person attempting to trick the humans currently in charge of that into believing the same thing.
Another haha-only-serious plan would be for the government to stop seizing drugs at busts and instead covertly intercept them, lace a certain percentage with ultra-lethal poison, and send them on their merry way. As the body count rises, it becomes way too dangerous to buy anything through illegal channels.
If you make a new company to help my existing company offload tasks to contractors and then hire employees that don't really follow instructions from me, that is certainly my problem at the end of the day but is way more a problem with your business model or hiring process than something you can just blame on the employee.
Thanks. Banned.

> YC is 100% what you make of it

This is 100% what survivor bias sounds like.

Every party is what you make of it. Every job. Every business. Every interaction.

Except, you know, when this other thing is overhyped and one hopes getting there helps and it turns out... it's not any different than anything else?
The public apis are what you use to get other people to build stuff that you dont want to build and increase the usage of your application by creating an ecosystem around it. Through the api, you draw in users, partners, entire use cases that are not provided for by your app directly and your app becomes something that is much bigger than what could it have been without an api.

The problem with Twitter was that it had no legitimate monetization for the app itself. It was a zero-interest, investor/vc money fueled growth machine. And even for that purpose, it used that api to great extent to bring a lot of users into the platform and integrate a vast swath of internet to Twitter - from Twitter logins to automatic embeds to entire 3rd party applications that served different subsets of users.

But now that the investors who dumped cash on something that does not have a level of monetization and revenue compared to its over-inflated valuation want something for their money, suddenly growth is not that important anymore and problems ensue.

Even in this particular situation, its a dumb idea to restrict or close down an api. If you do that, another service that doesnt do it will get an ecosystem built around it and it will eventually eat your lunch. A fixed set of people working on a singular app in a company can never produce as much features as an entire ecosystem with its large community can produce through an api. The Open Source movement and its successes follow the same pattern: Centralized, large corporations cannot compete with the development speed and breadth of communities of millions of people, even if those corporations employ tens of thousands of engineers.
The other day reply indicators on tweets just disappeared. This makes threaded conversations harder to read, and allows for all sorts of abuses.

For example, a common trolling tactic is to block someone, unblock them and post a mean or disagreeable comment, and then immediately block them again, and to do this repeatedly. The target can't see who is clogging up the conversation with BS, while the unblock-tweet-block cycle is very little extra work for the troll.
How many congresspeople in either the US federal government or any of the US state governments are associated with Antifa?

I know the blog post has MySQL in the title, but one point I'll add for those of us working with Postgres: writing it as `EXPLAIN (ANALYZE, BUFFERS)` adds buffer hits to each line of the output. I've found that valuable to reveal what parts of a query are hitting the hardware the hardest and there's seemingly no reason to not add buffers to the output each time.
Funny you say that, as the journalist who broke the Contra affair was from the Mercury News, a San Jose newspaper
Most small angels, like myself, will not do an uncapped SAFE. It's too risky when I'm only putting in $25K. I'd like to know at least very roughly how much I will own when it converts.

I don't want to be in a situation where they never raise again and then exit for $100M five years later and I only get my small little piece with no benefit for being in early.
Whatever brands in the major stores. WalMart, Target, Lowes. They all suck. I don't care to keep notes and do research on light bulbs, for fuck's sake. My spare time is worth more to me than that.
Can you get 3-way LEDs? I have some 3-way lamps and I've been casually looking for bulbs but haven't found any.

(Yes, I know I could search online and order them. It's not that important.)
OK, I’ll try and do better.
No, it doesn't, a component re-renders when its state changes or its parent re-renders.

You have absolutely no idea about climatology and are just parroting garbage.

You're not a climate scientist, you have no idea how scientists reach the conclusions they have, you don't understand the evidentiary lineages that have brought us to the current understanding of the climate. You cite a single paper yet conveniently ignore the entirety of the research being carried out throughout the globe, by agencies and institutions with no relationship to each other, all reaching the same conclusions.

You haven't even the slightest understanding about the climate yet you claim "propaganda".
Ubuntu LTS is great, but if you have a recent AMD cpu, you have to jump through some hoops to get newer kernel (install the linux-oem-22.04c) with better support for your hw. And when you do that, you still only get linux kernel 6.1. :(
Looks super snazzy:

Dungeons and Dragons’ Epic Quest to Finally Make Money
I don’t think I said that at all, and it’s a little offensive to make that assumption. It’s like saying global poverty is at its lowest in history and saying it could be better is blaming poor people for not working hard enough. The parents aren’t to blame, and in the context of this overall thread, it’s the society that puts a premium on collocation over cohabitation, when it’s been demonstrated unnecessary to collocate to work effectively together in many fields. How you got to blaming parents for not doing a good enough job I have literally no idea.

I will bet you, furthermore, that pre industrial America parents, fathers included, spent way more time with their children than post industrial and more likely post war America. The data linked only extends to the start of post war American history though, and I’ll wager there’s no quantitative source to back me up. But the commuter culture started with the highway and interstate system, and before that factories brought parents away from the home en masse for the first time. Frankly I see the breaking down of the commute and office culture as a reversion to a more historically natural state where families are generally together most of the time.
Cartels can be for buying or selling.

Assuming that the retailer can actually get a refund or replacement from the manufacturer (for some products, only the consumer can actually do that), usually they just replace the item or the wholesale price. They don't replace the retailer's gross margin. Thus the retailer ends up eating the cost of things like stocking and actually processing the warranty. For e.g. a one-person operation, that means extra work for zero profit.

It's usually not that much, but I can see why they might eventually be upset about it.
Show HN: Current social media platforms are abusing us
Hi HN, over the years of using the social media (Instagram, Pinterest, etc..), I’m quite weary of the trend that people tend to polish their content so well and post the perfect aspect of their lives. I feel like that I’m not one of them, and anything I post will be either not so polished to fit the “magazine” style of the community or so insignificant for anyone else to care about. Scrolling in those apps more and more and seeing more and more perfect lives, I feel like I was abused by those platforms and made me anxious about myself. I want an online space that can give my voice back, allowing me to record my real life and experiences, and engage with people without feeling like judging by the platform and others.

I made an attempt to solve this problem by building a new social media platform called MemoFlow (https://www.memoflow.com/) that generates post feed by a recommendation system that puts content information and your interest first, rather than based on your existing social circle like what everyone else is doing. Our community is very inclusive. You can not only post about your life, but also your questions, your anxieties, and any aspects of the REAL you, and be discovered by the people who shares the same feeling as you. It’s like on Twitter, when you want to express something private, you sign up for an account that no one knows and dumps all your feelings into it. You don’t want your friends and family to discover this account, but you want people who understands you to engage with you, which you well know in advance that this isn’t going to happen, because Twitter won’t expose your tweets to anyone. But on MemoFlow, you’ll actually be discovered.

I’d like to invite you to test my platform and any ideas/feedbacks are well appreciated.
That was the funniest part of the article for me.
> Passed last year, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act asks that within three years, new cars would be equipped with drunk-driving deterrents automakers don’t yet know how to comply with.

That's not what it says [1] (search for "SEC. 24220" and read subsections c, d, and e).

It says that within three years, the Secretary of Transportation shall issue a final rule (which will take effect at least 2 years later) unless it is determined that it is not possible to do this within that timeframe, in which case the Secretary of Transportation is allowed to extend the deadline until is is actually possible, but the Secretary has to make annual report to Congress describing why it is not possible.

For most of history, Japan has been existed as a small island next to the mighty kingdom of China. Even its name, "Land of the Rising Sun," refers to its relation as a nation east of Chinaa.

Then along came the industrial revolution. Soon Japan was out conquering China, despite China having a much larger army.

AI will be much faster, and much, much more powerful than the Industrial Revolution.

If Switzerland is the first to human-level AI, it will not become the world leader in oil production, or shipping, or agriculture. But everything else will be Swiss.

And then when the AI becomes superhuman, everything else will be gone.
I am pleasantly surprised that Wiz published that screenshot. It looks super confidential.

Ubuntu really messed up their dominant position with the constant NIH syndrome or stuff like the Amazon deal. Still, it really opened up Linux to many people and promoted ease of usability to other distros.

As for Fedora - I prefer it to Ubuntu mainly because the packages are more fresh. Eventually replaced with Arch and Pacman + AUR but for Arch the overhead to set it up is much greater than Fedora. At least was a few years ago, now from what I know there is some installer shipped with the image.

Remembering back to when I was a kid, Scratch was absolutely fantastic, and definitely helped me put me on the path I am today. Fantastic work.

With that said (and apologies on using the power of HN here), I've been trying to get in touch with Scratch support to have an old account of mine deleted, but I can't ever seem to get a reply. Would you happen to know who to get in touch with, other than the contact form?
Same. I have half a dozen hue bulbs from 2016 and none hav failed. The ones I have from Innr have not failed either. 4 of them are outdoors.

With Philips spinning off the lights division, I don't know the current quality.

Yes, and actually you don't need to do steps 2 and 4/5 yourself, it can be built on Baseplate, and you just need one API call to our endpoint to get the result. You can send us the blog post through our API as a file or copy/paste it through the UI. And thank you!
yayyy! Thanks Xe and friends!

Question about the docs, it mentions that "The WebFinger endpoint must be hosted at the domain of the email address provided during setup". Would it be possible to support a subdomain?

Also, a small ask: could the webfinger request that's sent include the `rel` and a well-known user resource params, for the situations where there's already a webfinger implementation there that isn't 100% under dev control which requires these params
like

GET /.well-known/webfinger?
resource=tailscale-webfinger%3A%40mydomain.com&
rel=http%3A%2F%2Fopenid.net%2Fspecs%2Fconnect%2F1.0%2Fissuer
HTTP/1.1
Host: mydomain.com

lastly, is this request resent at every auth event?

Thanks!@!
No it wasn't. And if Musk's actions aren't harming his interests, that's only because he says he doesn't mind losing ~$20 billion. I do not believe that he is going to be able to grow it into a $200 billion company on the back of frog Twitter.
A lot of people have a lot of things they can't shift around, like children, and circadian rhythms.
Yeah. I still don't have a final opinion on chatGPT, but I'm increasingly leaning towards it being "overhyped". Next to Full-Self Driving cars we've had also promises or expectations of technologies like Nanotechnology or Genetic Manipulation that were huge at first, but then fell by the wayside somewhere along the way (which is not to say that they brought important progress). So it remains exciting...

>- Not every home internet service gets a static IPv4 address so folks have to handle DynDNS

For anyone who has only this specific problem out of your list, one solution is to get an HE tunnel. It's what I do.

If my ISP ever gets off its ass and implements IPv6 like it promised three years ago, I'll consider using that directly, though its current indication is that the IPv6 addresses will be dynamic for non-business customers which defeats the purpose.
OP here. We now have a Chrome extension[1] to post whichever webpage you're on to klavier.ai for subsequent Q&A. Avoids hassle of having to copy 'n paste the URL.

This is textbook bikeshedding. If you have a bias for C syntax, everything else will look niche, weird, or "clearly insane" to you. But there's no reason that we should prefer C's syntactic decisions for assignment and equality operators in a non-C language. Go itself deviated from them, and the authors were instrumental to C itself.
OP already makes it clear that they are just a front-end.
I’ve been slowly figuring out the way I like to keep a Linux install “just running”:

- AMD or Intel GPU (Nvidia binary blobs sometimes break on kernel upgrades)

- Avoid Snap

Wow great catch. Added above. Thanks!
Typically and hopefully they would have to return the money that they did not spend, and it's better for the investors to get that portion of their money back than to have founders run it into the ground.
I don't think so. It's been this way for years, and if i look at his profile in a private browsing tab, i can see everything.
Sure, but when you call someone "the richest person in the world" this is just what you mean. And you're generally referring to power and influence in the world rather than literally how much physical cash he could come up with in 24 hours. I think the normal way of counting the richest people in the world is pretty reasonable.
I don't think the intention of this simulation is to be realistic. This particular agent just learned to play the music it was reinforced to learn given the physics constraints programmed for the hand mechanics (as far as I understand it). I doubt the physics emulate our human hands very accurately so I wouldn't expect it to be "realistic" or something that needs to be "fixed" unless the specific intention was to optimize actual human hand movements.
It's a variant of the Market for Lemons problem:

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Market_for_Lemons>

Discussed numerous times on HN: <https://hn.algolia.com/?q=market%20for%20lemons>

To get a market for lemons, the following characteristics are required:

- Nonuniform products or services with widely-varying quality.

- Expensive quality assessment.

- Poor information on relative quality, whether by distortions by sellers or lack of sophistication of buyers, or both.

You find this all over the place, with one notable example being tech recruiting (which appears multiple times in the HN/Algolia search above).

This is also a characteristic which leads to worsening product quality as formerly niche markets expand. Bicycles, audio equipment, and electronics are classic instances of these. A larger market is inherently less sophisticated, and more easily distracted by spurious or irrelevant characteristics of products.

Another tendency is for cargo-culting and fads to develop. That is, as products or services become more complex, a follow-the-herd mentality appears, where (apparently successful) influencers drive follow-on behaviour. Often, of course, the influencers and early-adopters themselves have a poor understanding or capability of distinguishing between high- and low-quality offerings. Given random selection, some will emerge as either successful or lucky over others.

There are some mitigations. In the case of used-car markets, for example, the emergence of vehicle history services (e.g., CarFax), reduces informational asymmetries. In the case of appliances, certification services (e.g., Underwriters Laboratories) and review organisations (e.g., Consumer Reports) aided greatly, as did uniform trade practices such as implied warrantee of fitness and generous return policies (both of which reduce buyers' risk).

As for your assessment of AI's future market, that seems highly probable to me, and would greatly dampen actual positive prospects within the field.
This seems pretty cool! As a dev who is, for lack of design resources on my team, frequently asked to pretend to be a designer, this could very much come in handy!

That said, the real value to me would be using this tool to make medium-fidelity mockups that look like my existing site. It looks like maybe your templates would allow me to make mockups in Noya that match my existing colors/etc, but I'd be coupled to ChakraUI. If the pre-existing components from my pre-existing site don't match Chakra's components, it sounds like I'd be out of luck?
I have gigabit fiber and it's IPv4 only. My ISP blocks incoming ICMP messages so I can't set up a HE tunnel. I used to use Route48, but they shuttered due to abuse, so I don't know what to do anymore.
I just got done making this switch myself. I used Ubuntu derivatives for pretty much ever since I started using Linux in 2016. I sometimes used Arch but always found myself going back to Ubuntu, Xubuntu, Mint, Pop!_OS, or some other Ubuntu flavor.

Lately though Canonical has made a lot of choices that I personally dislike. A few weeks ago I remember hearing about how they were planning on putting non-removeable packages into their distros and official flavors, so I decided to jump ship. Mint and Pop!_OS, while not official Ubuntu flavors, still take quite a bit from the distro IIRC. Arch can be a mess sometimes if you are not careful with your setup, and Manjaro has a slew of problems on their own, so I decided to try something new.

Fedora has been interesting. It feels very basic. I used to avoid flatpak quite a bit because I disliked its sandboxing, but lately I have been warming up to it. It is probably going to be my main distro if I don't try setting up Arch again

This post reads awfully whiny to me. Who cares if the new bulb that's 90% more energy efficient than your old incandescent is not exactly the same color as the totally unnatural electric light you grew up with? Sure, there are some niche areas like the gallery mentioned, where the color and evenness of the light is quite important to display a work of art properly, but the bulb in your downstairs toilet not being yellow enough is not something to get worked up over.

This is as vapid and facile an argument as petrol heads complaining that electric cars don't sound right.
