> if the Internet would die then would a given company be killed off by that

That would select for Internet companies, not tech companies. And neither of the two is a strict subset of the other.

> for Google that would be the end

With no Internet, we'd still need comms, and mobile phones (and Android) would seem to be important there. And if that wasn't enough to keep them alive, they'd buy companies to do that.

to this I would like to add that here in italy we also have "MonitoraPA" (monitoring public administrations) This is an observatory run by volunteers that takes care of verifying data transfers of users (i.e., citizens accessing Italian PA services) to foreign companies (typically USA). The latter, by virtue of more favorable legislation in their home states, can do whatever they want with such data and are required to hand it over to the government upon simple request. In this way, Italian citizens lose any guarantees enshrined in our country's legislation, starting with the constitution itself, as well as the GDPR
Vacuum tubes ("valves") are not American. They were invented by an Englishman, John Ambrose Fleming.
Ditto! Nim is just easy and incredibly fast (to develop and the code!). Our code base is Nim based - even normal bash script have been replaced!
It would have been better to implement and then rachet up use.

Just like happened with HTTPS.

At the start not many noticed or cared if their connection was encrypted. Then companies started directing people to the encrypted site and pointing out the padlock icon browsers adopted.

Now we're getting to the point that browser's might fuss about unencrypted connections.

Same could have been done but they got caught up in well if we have any encryption. It should all be encrypted false dichotomy.

Or am I just adding to the bike shedding?
Ironically, ChatGPT can help you understand the jargon.
The powerwall use case will only grow when people get solar panels and when rural areas in countries lacking power infrastructure eletrify. But while that use case doesn't care as much about weight, bulk, charge rate and % capacity as car batteries, in return they are very sensitive to cost and the market will (depending on how cheaply recycling can be done) likely be filled with used car-batteries with degraded capacity.

If you invent a battery that is 2x as large and heavy as current vehicle batteries but half the cost, then you might think you would be able to sell them for stationary storage, but you are then competing with the price of second hand vehicle batteries which may well be half price already.
As another longtime user I agree. I think the JetBrains suite had always been showing far too much stuff around the editor that you would pretty much never use. The new layout keeps the stuff you actually want, while putting the extra stuff like 1 additional click away.

And honestly, everything's keybound in PyCharm so if you're someone who tries to optimise your editor usage you probably weren't clicking icons anyway.
> So human do not attempt to tick arbitrary random answer in multiple choice problems when the person have empty knowledge in the domain

I truly hope you understand there is more to knowledge than multiple choice questions in a university entrance exam. Those are an extremely low bar. More importantly, that’s not what matters from the point.
I'm really excited to try this out! Being able to build apps around my Julia code, without having to learn a whole new set of skills would be a huge time-saver. Like many Julia users I’m a scientist, not a web developer
Cessna I guess.They bought Pipistrel recently. There are a few companies getting closer to production with various planes and drones. But realistically, I think volume sales is still a few years out.

Companies like Amprius scaling their high end battery production (like they announced recently) is interesting though.
A little off-topic, but does anyone wonder what kind of AI tech the CIA or DARPA or the NSA might have? Or what they might be building?

It's a little scary that a small private company could create an AI that has dominated headlines for over a month now. Surely, the folks at NSA, who have more data than anyone else, have taken notice and are working on something of their own.

Am I being paranoid about a potential tool that lists out a bunch of names and addresses for queries like "list of people who have said X about Y online"?
Assuming the training is based on public data, then making it illegal is like a "thought crime" where the state is trying to prohibit carrying out certain computations. Well if I believe the government has no right to control my thoughts, then I believe it has no right to control whatever computation I do on my private computer as well.

Down with these ** control freaks, so much of everything nowadays prioritizes safety over freedom. This time let's put freedom first.
If I were an Italian citizen I wouldn't feel very protected if I were blocked from accessing software I wanted to use.
Most human conversation is trivial and repetitive. Extremely low signal. Even GPTs afaik got better after being trained in Code, which , unlike conversation, actually does something.
I think it’s important to frame it within the sociotechnical frameworks that nations are able to operate under.

Introducing this technology will require incremental changes across industry, infrastructure and communities. Today, green hydrogen is out of reach for many economies. Building H2 ecosystems, will almost certainly require initial investment in brown/black hydrogen by burning fossils fuels, which is currently under development in Australia and Japan.

The transition to blue (renewable>LNG>H2) and eventually towards green (renewables>H2O>H2) hydrogen will be slow and will take decades to achieve. Purple (nuclear) hydrogen may be a next logical step for Japan.

It’s simply not possible to replace everything everywhere all at once. We should have gotten onto this two decades ago, so we unfortunately have to make compromises that seem cynical and small on the outset, but are still very difficult to implement and gain consensus.
I think your question should be directed at the OP.

The question was about reading comprehension and why people don’t think that AI has comprehended texts that (I’m assuming) it has in its input.
I don’t think it even requires that AI to be sentient or malicious. The humans already are. Given a tool for carnage and hatred, people will use it. How long did it take from us getting the atomic bomb working to use in production? Less than three months.

Will Putin or terrorists hold back from using it in terrible ways if they have it available to them?
is it true that I must use GC if I use stdlib of Nim, which by default most people will need its stdlib, how does that translate to c/c++/js when a GC is involved(c/c++ does not have GC)
* lack of cheap and easy to access mental health resources

* physical health resources are tied to work-provided health insurance, and are often not great

* lack of the above two lead to easy fixes, like prescribing opioids aggressively

* aggressive anti-drug laws that put more people away than attempting to treat them

* no real safety net if any of the above screw up, driving many to poverty, jail, addiction, etc. $30 of pills might be the only joy or relief from their shitty situation, so pop em if you got em.
I wanted to see how some of the comments evolved and then compare to ChatGPT. I made up the specific revenue/visitor details. The answers from ChatGPT roughly align with the ideas from the comments.

Prompt:

I run a successful blog about software engineering and get about 250k unique visitors per month. What are the top 1-5 options I should pursue to monetize the blog? I'd like to generate $15k USD per month within the next year.

ChatGPT:

Congratulations on running a successful blog with high traffic! There are several ways to monetize your blog, and here are some of the top options:

Display Advertising: You can place display ads on your blog, such as Google AdSense, which pays you when a user clicks on an ad. The revenue generated from display ads depends on factors like ad placement, ad format, and the number of visitors to your blog.

Sponsored Posts and Reviews: You can write sponsored posts or reviews for companies or products related to software engineering. Companies pay you to feature their product or service on your blog. However, it's essential to ensure that the sponsored content aligns with your blog's theme and interests your readers.

Affiliate Marketing: Affiliate marketing involves promoting products on your blog and earning a commission for every sale made through your affiliate link. You can promote software development tools, software courses, or books related to software engineering.

Digital Products: You can sell digital products such as e-books, courses, or templates related to software engineering on your blog. This requires creating high-quality products that your readers are interested in purchasing.

Consulting and Coaching: With your expertise in software engineering, you can offer consulting and coaching services to individuals or companies. You can promote your services on your blog and generate leads.

Generating $15k per month within a year is a reasonable goal, but it depends on various factors such as the monetization strategies you choose, the engagement level of your audience, and the competition in your niche. It's crucial to experiment with multiple monetization strategies and measure their effectiveness to achieve your income goals.
OP_RETURN is still used in some over-the-top protocols on Bitcoin however, using Pay-to-script-hash (P2SH) after Taproot has much better economics and a larger per-transaction payload limit. The downside is that they are two-phase.

A user sends a minimal amount of bitcoin to a P2SH address which commits to the hash of a future bitcoin script used to "claim" the bitcoin. That script is "revealed" in a subsequent transaction. The contents of the "script" include dead code that carries content. A recent popular example is the inscriptions[0] that carry NFT data for ordinals. The revealed script is part of the witness data it is carried in a different part of the bitcoin blockchain data structure which makes it prunable in a running node. As a result, the limits are around 500bytes instead of (80+80)bytes per transaction-pair.

@Nullabillity The only nonsense we are dealing with constantly is opinions of people who haven't ever bothered to use this feature before declaring it "inconsequential nonsense".
A battery with no poles would be a curious beast!
The evolution of comments here on HN are telling.

1 month ago people were saying there was no way AI could do their job and many were telling everyone to calm down as nothing would happen.

Now one month later this entire thread is about how chatGPT is an integral part of the development process. There are people even saying it replaces junior developers completely.

Can anyone venture to guess what the thread will look like in 1 more year?

"chatGPT can do the work of an entire team!"

And one more year after that?

"chatGPT can manage a team!"
I wouldn't be surprised if most FAANG and similar tier companies require a linkedin account; mine did.

HR sent policies, and would help you with a headshot, with the idea you'd use that w/ your email, Teams, etc. as well.
AI makes me faster. It unblocks me. I can get more done with less time, and there's still a lot more work to do.
Is NYC safer than Florianópolis? Yup, considering there were 400-ish murders in NYC in 2022 with some 8 million people in the city proper, there were 44 in Florianópolis in 2021 with a population of 400k, double the rate of NYC per capita.
With all due respect, I'm of the opinion that the alternative here is the weaponisation of the judicial branch.

Most commenters on this post has knowingly or unknowingly broken the law multiple times in their lives. As the Buffet saying goes: "If a cop follows you for 500 miles, you’re going to get a ticket."

Buffet said this in relation to JP Morgan's "London Whale" scandal. Whats interesting here is he went on further to say: "You can’t be active in a big business without making some mistakes, and sometimes they may be big ones". This is especially true for government.

For example, something as simple and normal as taking some work docs home or discussing work with a spouse could lead to breaking serious federal laws.

Clinton's private email server is a perfect example of this, she committed a clear crime here but Comey chose to not prosecute. Despite this decision, he faced heavy scrutiny for delaying the decision which many believe had an impact on the outcome of the election.

It is important to take note of my earlier point, this is not a debate on whether leaders and "aristocrats" should be subject to the law. We are witnessing a departure from practices established centuries ago in common law tradition.
> Pretty sure the US has no similar law at all.

https://oag.ca.gov/privacy/ccpa

> You're trying to compare GDPR to general prinicples and it doesn't work. GDPR was a new type of law.

No, it's a law like every other. You abide by it or you end up dealing with the business end.

> "Let’s say for example that you are a Chinese web shop with a website that is available in German, French and English as well. You also process multiple orders a day from individuals within the EU and ship your products to them. This will make you fall in the scope of the GDPR, even though you have no establishment in the EU and are not performing any data processing activities within the EU."

> Yeah, that's unprecedented.

No, it isn't unprecedented.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unlawful_Internet_Gambling_Enf...

And that's before we get to AML and ATF legislation that the US has enacted and basically enforced all of the world of finance.
Sure let's ban it, only to find out 6 months later that each of these companies simply obscured the development to try and get an edge. oh no! a 5 million(etc.) fine? too bad that's nowhere near how much profit their product will incur. Life goes on.
I mean yeah I read all those books and I've skimmed a few programming videos over the decades. But I've only really learned programming from working with a handful of exceptional mentors over the years. I've eaten a lot of crappy dog food on projects just to get to spend more time with those individuals.

The fact of the matter is that the ability for the government to print money when needed and not be beholden to a scarce element for currency and wealth reserves has allowed our economy (and the world economy, and trade) to grow. If there is no 'extra' money when we need it, economies stagnate. The side-effect of 'extra' money is inflation. However, I think that we have a lot to show for it -- considering that economic disasters haven't completely destroyed the wealth of entire generations of people since we started doing it this way, and we have a least a passable system of class mobility.

This whole 'pining for the gold standard' is ridiculous. Do you want to go back to zero-sum economics because you don't like the Fed? Everyone hates the Fed, but it happens to be the least bad option that we have come up with so far.
> The truth is you could pin a charge on a large percentage of politicians if you were determined to.

I mean... great, let's do that. If they're all committing crimes, let's start arresting them until they stop. That's how they treat us after all.
Well the first thing we can do is start disconnecting safety critical infrastructure from the Internet and/or radio networks... This stuff should never have been online in the first place.
Verbosity isn't the same thing as precision. The judgement is both vague and inconsistent, as GDPR related things always are. They don't want OpenAI using personal data for training, which it doesn't do anyway, unless they mean the entire original training set which - as they themselves note - they can't prove contains personal data of Italians (which they mean is unclear due to vagueness), but at the same time they are banning it for not collecting enough personal data.
The only news we have is that the indictment consists of more than 30 counts related to business fraud. The exact list has not been released yet. So, speculating is pointless.
That isn't true, but it's more than that anyway. Even if I don't use any fb service, my friend circle does, and that is enough for fb to build a profile on me, without my consent.
LLaMA and GPT are like Pepsi and Coke.
It’s far too late for AI Research to be shutdown.
Interesting, the "By using" was my own addition to shorten a long sentence it had generated that distracted from the example.

To be more clear, using AI to rewrite comments such as this one is not something I often do. My personal use of it for moderation purposes is more prompt based than pasting a long comment for grammar and spelling corrections.

What I did here was an example and that example provided the same criticism that you wrote here as a reply ("which can be tempting but may result in unintentional changes to the original message"). In other words, makes the text more verbose and sanitizes the writing style.

The prompt we use for moderation contains our site's rules and some added context. So using ChatGPT, we can paste in someone's comment and ask the bot to write a short text explaining how that comment does not follow our rules and what the user can do.

"Using the rules above, write a very short message for a user that wrote a rule breaking comment. Show empathy. Use simple English. Explain the rules that were broken. The comment is [comment here]"

Using this saves a lot of time. Is the quality of the comment not as good as it could be if it was written by a human? Absolutely. However, using AI let us change the user:mod ratio in a way. Automoderators are nothing new, what is new is that now the automoderator can take context into account and provide a customized message.
FOMO can be rational or irrational. In this case it is very much rational.
You are wrong, you need the entire computational network that processes that data and creates signals for the brain depending on various circumstances such as nutrient levels and so on. Low on protein? You will find meat tastier etc, that is a part of the feelings and taste, so it can't be replicated with a simple vector. I don't really see how we could copy all of that logic to a computer, we would need some super brain scan or something, and without it the computer wont be able to understand the feeling.

ChatGPT works on text since we produced so much text that for it to process and associate. We can't do the same thing for taste or feelings. Only viable alternative I can see is that we try to reverse engineer it, or we put permanent brain scans on people and see what they taste at what circumstances and how it affects their feelings over time, and then train a model on that data, that could make it possible.
Yes, but stationary energy storage is itself a large use case.

There are also different performance profiles within EVs, where different tradeoffs might make sense. Though, like you, I'm somewhat skeptical that any non-lithium chemistries will break through in that space.
These are generative models where the LLM prompting works by examples it tries to match while generating new tokens into the provided pattern.

Chat implementations provide your recent back and forth history as example to the next prompt. This is how providing an example reply in JSON can get it to reply with new data using JSON.

Ongoing replies reference what it interprets as labels (the blanks to fill in) provided in the examples, replacing those tokens with new tokens.

Look at your first question and second question again. Pretend the first reply is in JSON but with placeholders for song title, artists, topic, lyrical analysis, and critique.

Pretend the second reply was supposed to use the first reply as its example, and replace only new data.

You see it put new generation into the provided example structure.

Now you can see what it did there. It did exactly what you prompted it to do.
Thank you! For now, yes - but we'll add support for other languages next, starting with Python and R.
WhatsApp is the one app that I continue to use by them. Aren't they only able to collect meta-data on the conversations and not see any of the texts themselves? Also, no ads yet, so that's a win for me.

Everytime I've tried moving people over to Signal/Telegram, etc. we try it for a week and then go back to WhatApp because of so many other groups on there....
It is even worse for Rust.
i am trying to solve many business problems as I am building apps that allow people to use stable diffusion and LLMs locally on their own hardware without the need to install anything and i'm doing it with compiled python that I have to ensure runs on various machines. this means i have to support customers. I'm also making a couple of small games.
I also have to handle marketing.

the killer use case is augmenting my own workflow.
i have fully integrated ai into my development pipeline. i am using chatgpt and i am using copilot. I almost never find myself turning to any other resource for information other than occasionally having to reference documentation for very obscure libraries. I also use an IDE.

this gives me time to concentrate on things such as my ci/cd pipeline, architecture, UX, testing, solving how to install bitsandbytes and triton on windows and other difficult problems related to build processes that don't have clear cut solutions.
My Twitter feed started showing hot takes from more and more right-wing nutjobs, probably because I am naturally slightly conservative (small-c) in my views. Eventually I got fed up with seeing so many posts from Lotus Eaters / Alex Jones / Katie Hopkins / <insert fascist>, was thinking of leaving, then Musk took over, fired everyone and tried to charge me $8, so a good opportunity to go. Account deleted and I haven't been back since.
I've been gravitating towards projects that wouldn't have to care what a court thought anyway. Like if it can't operate in the presence of that kind of adversary then I'm better of treating that like a bug and fixing it instead of worrying about the particulars of why they're upset in the first place.
You're a good manager. But not everyone/company is like this.
For large codebases PyCharm is superior, as VS Code usually chokes in its JavaScript memory usage before PyCharm's Java. You need to load large symbol datasets in the memory and VS Code seem to be struggling with this.

PyCharm autocompletion, autoimport, red underline errors and type hinting tools are also better than in VS Code.

VS Code Jupyter Notebook integration as better. PyCharm tends to do very badly with complex notebooks.

Using both 5+ years.
The GC is a set of data structures and functions which are included in the compiled C/C++ source and which are called by the generated code.
Me too! I have had various toy projects that make use of the open source Scratch editor to do this exact thing and writing extensions that would enable this. While our our extension system can enable this, we are very careful about adding extensions to the live site that might enable a project to spam connections and inadvertently creating a DDoS system.
Pandemics were sci-fi too. Sci-fi is supposed to become real at some point. We are at that point. Get over it now.
So which of these represents the chatbot?
They do notify you and explain it:

https://help.openai.com/en/articles/6613520-phone-verificati...

This is also covered under the "consent" lawful basis part of the GDPR.

The bug is not a problem. GDPR covers data leaks. If you're an EU company you have to inform your DPA within 72 hours, and the users affected. It's not illegal to have such breaches. OpenAI isn't an EU company so doesn't have a DPA, but it did notify everyone that the leak occurred anyway.
