> So far in interviews GPT-4 has several times echoed a desire to BE us.

Well of course it would; its whole function is to generate plausible text based on its training data, which was all written by humans. There's plenty of text available which imagines what an intelligent, self-aware machine might say, so if you want to read more of that, the algorithm can easily generate some. It does not follow that GPT-4 itself has a self, with any experience of awareness or desire.
No paddle holes when you transfer the dough from the machine into 2 bread tins after the pre-rise, let it rise 'till completion and bake it in a real oven. It is a little bit more work, true, but worth the effort. I do this when the rest of the family has gone to bed, using the waiting periods to hack around a bit. The wood-burning oven heats the house for the night, I put in the bread when it is ready, take it out after ~32 minutes and go to bed. Next morning there are 2 fresh cooled loaves waiting for us in a warm kitchen. I cut them in slices and put them in the freezer. After a day or 3-4 they're finished and I bake again.
They are not sending good baskets with the Bambino? The baskets on the Infuser are reasonably good, just a bit weird as they are a bit narrower on the base.
> Given that, is it harder to get into Harvard or YC based on admission numbers?

I always find it laughable (sorry not directed at you in particular) when people make that type of comparison. Probability of something occurring for unrelated events ... why in the world does that matter at all? I could say it's harder to get accepted to a certain health club than Harvard or YC.

I am reminded of a restaurant in my city that opened and the local press talked about how hard it was to get a reservation. In fact this particular chef decided to open that restaurant both because he didn't have any experience and also the fact that it had a limited amount of tables would always make it seem more valuable in some way than it was. 'So hard to get a table harder than WONDERFUL RESTAURANT IN SAME CITY where it's hard to get a reservation HARDER THAN THAT EVEN!' Additional point in that restaurant was it took over the location (another PR win) of an old established and very famous restaurant in the same city. The press ate that up as a story angle. As if it mattered at all. It didn't only it made a good story angle. Otherwise why should it make any difference at all?
> Sounds like your issue isn't with automation, it's with the human condition.

Absolutely 100% not.

There is nothing pessimistic about my understanding of the human condition. I love that humans are this way: that our greatest sense of satisfaction comes not from infinite self-indulgence, but from strenous labor in service of those we care about. What could be more noble than that?

(Of course, I admit that I only perceive it as noble because of thousands of years of evolution where tribes of humans that cooperated were more fit than ones that didn't. But I am a human, and if I have to evaluate my value system using my value system, I'll choose to evaluate it positively.)

My issue is with systems that deliberately or as an unintended emergent property run afoul of human nature. Working well with human nature should be the ultimate goal of any tool or system used by humans. The things we build should help us flourish in all of the ways that our species has evolved to do best in. If a chair is comfortable on your butt, it's a problem with the chair, not the butt.
I second the A19 and other bulbs from Ikea. I live right next to an Ikea and it turns out their bulbs are pretty good. Even the housing feels better than Phillips or others.

I used to have an expensive Phillips light alarm and it flickered like no other. Especially if you lower the dimming you'll tend to see more flickering or just notice an "ick" feeling with crappier bulbs.
Yep, we owe a debt to veterans for putting their lives on the line in defence of our values (especially WWII vets). We don't owe the same debt to everyone else though do we? It's in fact everyone else who owes the veterans.

Also, there's nothing stopping anyone today from making friends with their colleagues and employers, and relying on those relationships in times of need. I'm still not seeing why we need an intervention.

Sibling suggested heating the chamber with the kettle, in my experience that has caused the silicon wrapping to deteriorate.
This looks really interesting. I'd be very interested to see how you guys iterate to accommodate other frameworks or actual design systems. IMO Chakra isn't so much a design system as it is a framework (like Tailwind) - it's an abstraction to make common tasks easier. Would love to see something a little more "ui-kit-agnostic".

Copilot with GPT-3.5 is absolutely giving engineers all over huge productivity improvements. OpenAI engineers have had access to the latest state of the art GPT-4 model for awhile.
> And application developers have to essentially wait for each distro to repackage their app before it becomes available on that distro.

Nonsense. Developers can do their thing, and distro maintainers can do theirs. The two have very different priorities and goals.

I'm perfectly happy downloading the latest version of hip package X directly from the developer's website while relying on distro packages for all the boring, stable stuff.

The whole "it's either all hip or all boring" is a false dichotomy.
I definitely think it's a great idea to try and evolve how Git is used from the command line.

At my current job, I've decided to create my own wrapper around both Git and Jira based on the workflow I've settled into after all these years as a programmer.

Here's a list of subcommands I wrote:

`develop <jira id>`: Creates a new branch based on the name of the Jira ticket (referenced by the Jira ID) and moves the ticket to "In Progress." The Jira ID is appended to the branch name so the CLI will always know what ticket we're working with.

`undo`: Uncommits the last commit but leaves the changes intact. Effectively an alias for `git reset HEAD~1 --mixed`.

`open changes`: Opens all the files that have changed between the current branch and the main branch in VS Code.

`list changes`: Simply lists the files that have changed between current branch and main without opening them.

`open issue`: Shows the Jira issue for the current branch in the terminal.

`log`: A more condensed version of `git log`. Alias for `git log --oneline`.

`commit`: Either uses a supplied commit message or, if one isn't provided, defaults to using the title of the Jira ticket. Most of the time I supply a message, but at my company we want the first commit to always be the same format so that all squash+merges describe the overall PR.

`create pr`: Commits a changelog entry, creates a PR in GitHub, always making sure to use an optimally formatted title, and moves the status of the Jira ticket to "In Review." It also adds labels and kicks off a QA deployment.

`merge pr`: Merges the open PR for the Jira ID of the branch and moves the Jira ticket to "In QA."

`wip`: Commits all present changes, using "WIP" as the commit message, and skips any pre-commit hooks that might either slow things down or block the commit. Alias for `git commit -m "WIP" --no-verify`. Yes, I know about `git stash`, but I'm always paranoid of clearing the stash, and stashes aren't (easily?) associated with specific branches.

`update`: Fetches the latest changes on main and then rebases the current branch off it. Admittedly, I don't like this name.

`push`: Basically the same as `git push` except it will refuse to ever push to the main branch, even if `force push` is used. And `force push` will always use `--force-with-lease`.

`my prs`: Lists the PRs I have open. Alias for `gh pr list --author "@me"`.

`branch`: Unlike `git branch`, only returns the name of the current branch, which is also useful for doing things with the branch programmatically.

`branches`: Does what `git branch` does.

`lunch`: Sets my Slack status to say I'm at lunch with the hamburger emoji.

`search log`: Searches the log using what comes after the first argument. Alias for `git log -S${@:2}`.

I know not all of that had to do specifically with Git, but both simplifying some common Git commands and integrating with Jira has made my job a much happier one. Hopefully this either inspires others to make their own job-specific CLI or implements some of these things in a Git-specific tool.

And what do you do when the lightbulb burns out after only 3 years? The product has long since changed SKU, the manufacturer gets to claim they fixed any deficiencies (and it'll take years to find out if they are telling the truth), and you long since lost any proof of purchase.
Think of YC like a Harvard MBA. You may or may not learn anything substantial from it. The quality of education may or may not be better than your local state school. Graduating with that brand, however, may be valuable enough in itself to justify spending the hundreds of thousands of dollars. How you leverage the network is entirely up to you.

And the platform is really showing its lack of moderation, even compared to how little it was moderated in the past. I don't really want to click on webdev tweets and find replies full of hate speech and weird pornography.
The alternative theory is almost certainly correct. If you actually read the bill, there is nothing in it about quality of information or misinformation. At the same time, the government has been warning about "malinformation" recently, which they define roughly as "true facts that do not fit the broader narrative." If that definition sounds like something from the soviet union, that's because it is.

The talk about controlling the flow of bad information is a naked power grab, and always has been ever since the first governments tried to do it in the ancient era. What history has taught us is that the truth always catches up eventually, and that it is better to provide people with more information than less. I honestly don't think that the social media era has changed that at all, and it would require some very strong evidence that it did (which is completely lacking).

Remember that before Facebook, news/gossip junkies were subscribing to papers and tabloids of varying quality. We have just eliminated the dead trees. The content was just as bad, emotionally-charged, and false, and there were so many of these papers that you could create a Facebook-style information bubble.
You'd use a lined fretless bass this way, so it might have been a lined fretless guitar on that drawing!

Also, when you're pressing a fret, the pitch isn't coming from where you have your finger, but from the following fret which is making contact with the string.
You can actually press the actual fret instead of the area between the fret and the one before it, and it should sound the same.

Now if the person that drew this knew that, I don't know.
This is exactly what I need, thank you for building this! We're using Azure cognitive services for API access to OpenAI models though. With any luck, expect a PR today for basic Azure support :)
In other words, considering the annual overall traffic fatalities, they are very safe.
I've been thinking about this idea of rejection a bit. I never thought I'd talk about it in the context of churn, but actually it makes perfect sense. Because it's not just rejection: it's adaptability. Rejection is going to happen because, well, it's also a human thing. But the ability to adapt turns rejection into connection. In this case it's saying "hey, there's something not right here, let's work on it." And I think that's something more than "normal". It's adaptability.
There is a huge difference between patrolling international tradeways or helping nato allies, and invading or violating foreign countries on a whim with absolutely 0 consequences.

> It’s not like an Ivy League

The Ivy League is talked about and well known all over and public knowledge your neighbor your aunt, your wife, your mother, the guy who owns the local bakery etc. It's an international brand.

YC known in the startup community. Most likely the guy who runs the local 200 person wholesale operation wouldn't even know about it unless he read about it in the WSJ he reads print edition. Go to sell to that company and they will say HUH what's that mean 'YC'.
I didn't go to YC. My impression of YC is from news articles and hacker news. I believe that YC is good only if it helps you raise money.

Their advice is not worth it because advice is free on YouTube. Let's take PG; he often gives a lot of general and specific advice; he is a great writer and a fascinating mind. I enjoy reading his articles; they are outstanding, but they aren't any different from the many YouTubers giving advice. Unless you get personal time with YC staff, their services are not unique.

Do you need to be Peter Mckinnon’s apprentice to learn photography? No, likewise you don’t need YC.
Why? OpenAI keys can be revoked at any time, and OpenAI allows you to set soft and hard limits for billing as well.

You can also generate multiple keys, so if one app misbehaves, you don't need to rotate all the keys, just the one that misbehaves.

This is assuming the API keys can only do generation. If it can access billing details or something it's very different of course.
Users who haven’t memorized (yet) which key is where on the keyboard usually do this. Typically these are beginners.
Grass is always greener.

Every single country has their issues. EVERY SINGLE ONE.

Personally, despite our issues (which are quite serious, as you've outlined), we are still the richest, free-est and most intelligent country in the world with unrivaled soft and hard global hegemony. Everyone everywhere tries to claw their way in because the American Dream™ of going from nothing to an excellent, comfortable quality of life is still very much achievable, perhaps even more so with the Internet being how it is.

I'd recommend living in other countries and forming your own opinion though.
The problem is that I'm interested in what people have to say about some topics and not others. Sometimes I'll follow a musician I like and realize when he's not posting about his music he's talking about conspiracy theories I'd rather not look at. Or someone will be pretty funny and interesting but also spend a lot of time interacting with porn. Or just post a lot about a topic that I have no interest in. If it worked differently I could interact with these people on subjects I'd like to without being subjected to every thought that enters their head and everything they want to follow.
Without scratch I would not have connected with programming the way I did when I was a kid. Fantastic program, and a great community as well.

Yes, churn is a metric. It's not always someone rejecting you. It could be that they just needed your product to solve a problem and then unsubscribe. They are not rejecting you but you've served the need and so they stop paying you.
But if we said cars need to achieve over 1000mpg, then it would be effectively a ban on ICE, right?
This just reads like libertarian erotic fanfic. First you write a bad character that is evil at the core, like the TSA, then you write about how it skirts the law knowingly to exact its evil onto the people, and thats by design.

If TSA didn't exist, and airlines were in charge of their own security, every single accident or incident would be blamed on companies trying to raise their profits by cutting costs, and people would be screaming for government to intervene. Just like they are doing currently with Tesla and autopilot.

Also, you don't have to fly if you are going to US. You can drive most places. Flying is using the services of a private company, on their terms, which without TSA would still include TSA like security. If you are going overseas, then it makes sense for security like the TSA because US laws don't apply to other countries.

As an aside, I see more and more reddit-like posts like this on HN - unsubstantiated, baseless wokeposting. Did you guys get tired of your echo chambers on there?

The question turns on whether you consider copilot part of the "GitHub service."

GitHub would argue that it is, and they'd likely argue that charging for access to copilot is akin to charging for access to private repositories.

Others would say that copilot is somehow separate from the services Github provides, so using their code for CoPilot wouldn't be covered by the ToS.
I put my kids through both scratch and khan academy javascript. I've found that it helps them come to terms a lot with the underlying mechanics of scratch and my oldest is now graduating onto building web apps. When my child hits a hurdle and feels like doing something easier they go back to scratch.
I overheard an interesting tinfoil-hat theory about these overdoses, particularly why they seem to come in waves. It goes something like this:

- The best customers are newly minted addicts. They still have jobs, personally property, and friends and family who trust them. They can spend massive amounts of money quickly.

- Over time, these customers lose access to money as they spiral into addiction. They lose their jobs, run out of things to sell, and run out of friends and family to steal from.

- Eventually, they end up breaking into cars, stealing from businesses, mugging people, and committing burglary.

- This increase in crime attracts the attention of the general public and law enforcement.

- Drug dealers, in order to refresh their customer base and start the cycle over, distribute a 'hot' batch of product that kills off many of their customers.

Not sure how sound this theory is, but I thought it was interesting.
It's frankly kinda annoying then, too. I don't doubt you can get the AI to model the text you want -- with enough prompt engineering, anything is possible. If your anecdote is about ChatGPT generating text, it's probably not as novel as you think it is.
> Because every generation before us had to deal with the problem of "how do I know that I'm getting quality item X from supplier Y?"

Up to 70 years ago, item X had an extremely low complexity, and up to some 30 years ago, supplier Y had reliably constant quality between its products.

No previous generation had to deal with the problem we currently have.

Music aside, I believe the first place I saw a copy of this old zine illustration was in the book "Getting Started with Arduino" by Massimo Banzi (page 10 if you're curious : https://www.amazon.com/Getting-Started-Arduino-Electronics-P... )

Obviously the authors of the Arduino book were reprinting it because they'd seen it somewhere else, where, in turn, it had been copied because someone else had seen it in another source, etc.

But I thought it was extremely poetically true to put that illustration in the Arduino book. That made sense to me.
