> I’ve had cops plant evidence in my car, I’ve been hit by trucks running red lights, I’ve gotten in a knife fight with a hobo, I’ve been shot at on the highway, I’ve been fired for no reason, I’ve gotten in a motorcycle accident that fucked me over seven ways to Sunday.

While I think I can understand many of your feelings about US culture, I'm a bit lost here. I was married to a US citizen and have lived a significant amount of time there, although never settled permanently. But I never experienced any of these things, nor felt an overwhelming need to worry about them. Is it something about your chosen lifestyle?

(For context, I have also lived and worked in a place where many of my neighbours employed armed guards to sit at their gates. And I watched from my office window as an armed bank robbery took place across the way. It ended with corpses lying in the street. And I was far more worried when dealing with police there than in any of my several US interactions with them. Think the US is bad? Well, in some ways it is... but it could be a lot worse.)
The reason that banks generally take AMLAT rules so seriously is that the fines are vastly higher than any profit that can be generated by breaking them. Where I live they're in the order of up to a million per transaction that violates the rules.

CBA in Australia was fined $700 million and Westpac $1.3 billion for mere tens of thousands of transactions that were in breach. They have spent a lot of time and money fixing their shit since then, unsurprisingly.

Fines that punch through to individuals are another great motivator. Health and safety rules suddenly started getting taken a great deal more seriously in my neck of the woods when managers became personally liable for up to $200,000 for breaches.
Either the monetization is done with ads or with paid subscriptions. They chose to be in the former category. And I personally don’t mind clicking ads for the sake of not paying a premium. The two models can coexist
This was merely an example to suggest the danger is not in AI becoming self-aware but amplifying human abilities 1000 fold and how they use those abilities. GPT is not necessary for any part of this. In-silico methods just need to catch up in terms of accuracy and efficiency and then you can wrap the whole thing an RL process.

Maybe you can ask GPT for some good starting points.

Your experience is not everyones experience. For example, the country you describe has 0% resemblance to the one I know. Why should your experience matter more than mine?

Are you actually proposing that your experiences are in some way typical ?
Its not a bad thing until its a bad thing. There are certainly computer related tasks I am happy to relegate to AI, my concern is that we are already bad at maintaining software made by humans. If old school software engineering becomes an arcane art as everyone becomes prompt engineers and software starts to explode in complexity we better hope AI learns to maintain it too.
> GPT is bad at math because BPE input compression obfuscates individual digits. https://bbot.org/etc/gpt-math.png You'd be bad at math too if every number was scrambled.

This is the myth I was referring to. BPE compression may slow down training, but it doesn't follow that slower training is the reason for being bad at math.

If you trained GPT specifically on arithmetic tasks, you'd get superior performance to GPT-3, regardless of which tokenization scheme you'd use. But you'd destroy most of its knowledge about everything not-arithmetic.

> I used to handle my side projects similarly, starting numerous projects but rarely bringing them to completion. Lately, I've been making an effort to stick with a side project long enough to at least show it to friends.

I've been following the same approach, but also noticed that it's less effective at utilizing my excitement. Every project hits the point where sooner tedious work must be done and I've found myself sometimes stay away from it for a few weeks and not pick up something I'm excited about because I should really work on the tedious thing, so I work on neither.
Thank you for fixing this clickbait headline. I am always happy to help out by posting.
I’m having the same experience, and it’s drastically reduced the utility of the chat. It seems like Bing will ignore earlier context to cram an ad in now.

I was speccing a portable video/audio conference device at a specific budget and it would. Not. Stop. Recommending the same three Logitech products. Didn’t matter that one is 8 years old and I said in my first message I don’t want it. Didn’t matter that one was completely outside the stated budget. Even when I got it to recommend other products, I got 2 completely not-correct options, and one of the same Logitechs it already suggested.

If I wanted to see the first page of sponsored Amazon search results I wouldn’t have bothered asking the bot.

This is how Microsoft will save us all from a world where AGI is completely dominated by them. By dropping the ball on it.
Makes me wonder what ChatGPT has to say about all of this.
> Speaking bluntly isn't what is meant by being an asshole/jerk.

That's not what you meant. That is what a lot of other people mean.
In 2035. Maybe we can pause AI development in 2035?
I guess how does this keep devs from having to write code if they aren't using the code that's provided by ChatGPT?
> And the fact that you are native Spanish speaker makes little difference here. How trustworthy is a native Spanish speaker? You will know it when you navigate the Spanish speaking Internet and find most of it are antivaxxers, flat earthers and people that believe "US Navy" is a given name ("Usnavy"). I know this because I have native Spanish proficiency as well.

That's the Latino internet. European Spanish internet is more about the Black Legend, posts about Spanish Empire by a user who inevitably has a Burgundy cross avatar, Franco nostalgia and how England and Holland cheated them of glory.
I'm not sure, I think corporate overreach has always been the flavour of Microsoft.
Poor decisions lead by business first incentives instead of a customer focus seems to be a consistent theme from them in my experience.
Why would you expect NSL’s to be used in criminal convictions? What does that have to do with national security?

Isn’t the whole point of an NSL to get something for legitimate national security purposes that couldn’t be legitimately acquired for criminal prosecution?

Another perspective if we consider AI akin to nuclear weapons (a simile many have made already): If the law-abiding cease development and malicious actors do not, the worst case may be that the resulting AI is non-aligned with humanity's interests. If the "good guys" develop an AI with alignment as an intention, then there are at least good AI to counter the bad AI.

Of course they may all ultimately end up colluding to destroy us. My point is it's not just as simple as "someone who's behind might catch up and make more money".
Why? no business is to be conducted there, so it should be okay

Silenen Codex (German and English)- New Claim Voynich Manuscript Decoded
In 2023, Dr. Gregor Bernhart-Königstein, of the Benedict XVI Philosophical-Theological University in Austria, claims the manuscript is a memoir written by the Swiss Prince Bishop of Sitten, Jost of Silenen and his family, including his nephew, Kaspar von Silenen, who was the first captain of the Swiss Guard.

I've archived a 2nd copy here: https://github.com/hatonthecat/Voynich-Manuscript/blob/main/...

These are great resources, thanks for sharing!
Thanks for counter-example; I'll confess to having spent far too much time with edge-case translations of late (on languages a bit farther apart), rather than on more generic cases like the above.

I will be re-assessing my view on general-case translation performance accordingly.
> ...venture fund managing partner Jacob Garlick... placed a $190 million bid on the historic Flatiron Building...

> ...you'd think the building would go to the second-highest bidder—but, dear reader, think again, because that guy doesn't even want the building. "I was kind of shocked, to tell you the truth," that bidder, former Flatiron co-owner Jeff Gural, told NY1 after Garlick outbid him. "I never thought someone would bid so much for the building. It's a beautiful building, but it needs $100 million of upgrades, it's basically empty."

Never thought someone would bid $190 mil? OK, so how much did this second-highest bidder bid then? Well:

> But if an extension is not granted, the second-highest bidder in the auction, a group led by GFP Real Estate’s Jeffrey Gural, will have the option to purchase the property at their last bid of $189.5 million, according to a court filing. [1]

About 0.3% less? ...Why is he shocked somebody else would pay basically the same amount he himself bid? I am so confused.

But it seems they've both changed their minds so no harm no foul...?

Is there any kind of penalty though for bidding at an auction and not following through on the deposit?

Is this going to require some kind of API key or other authentication to work?

While I wouldn't use any device that provides access to this network, I would probably add it as another network source if I was making something which used comparable hardware. Assuming the process isn't too arduous.
3D modelling is the big learning curve, but obviously independent of owning a 3D printer. Running a printer (assuming you get a reliable model) is straightforward in comparison.

Having tried most of the options there are, I’d recommend downloading Fusion 360 and following a few of the many online tutorials. While the free version is a little restricted, it’s a high-quality parametric 3D CAD package, and to my mind is superior to everything else at a hobbyist price point. It’s also faaaaaaar more approachable (IMO) and/or fully-featured than other free options such as OpenSCAD or FreeCAD.

A few weeks of following tutorials and trying to make your own simple models should see you to a level where you can judge whether it’s the right hobby for you, and therefore whether it’s worth investing in a printer.

They can amend it before it gets passed into law.

Some businesses, not sure on google, will actually have lawyers on most meetings in order to circumvent subpoenas as it's "protected" discussions that way... I don't recall the details, just rememember seeing a report on the practice.
My first experience with it was 2005-2006? I recall printing out the documentation and probably have a binder of around here, somewhere.
That's really interesting, thanks. And sure, a significant amount of remembered imagery is undoubtedly reconstruction and interpolation, but when I try and imagine a bicycle all I get is those partial memories of bicycles that flicker in an out of my mind's eye intermittently, there isn't really any reconstruction or interpolation that produces stable imagery. My visual memory is fine (although the inattention and working memory deficits of ADHD in itself may affect how much detail is committed) - I recognise what things are and things I've seen before - it's my mind's eye and the ability to envision that's lacking. And without being able to envision you can't really imagine visually.
CoreXY printers absolutely do have more stable kinematics for better acceleration, but modern open printer firmware--mostly Klipper, though you can do it with Marlin in an unsatisfying way--implements resonance compensation, aka input shaping, in a way that really improves acceleration (which matters way more than top speed for most prints).

My Sovol SV06 can make a really nice-quality 3DBenchy in 37 minutes after doing my input shaping samples. That's not as fast as an X1 Carbon, but it cost a quarter as much, and I tend to think that when it comes to 3D printers that bandwidth is more valuable than latency.
Do people in the Bay Area still remember how much of a thread Microsoft is to the Bay Area companies? How many tech CEOs went to the capitol hill to cry to the congress how evil MS is? Until in the 2000s did Google rise up, producing obviously superior products and technologies faster than MS. MS gradually became irrelevant in the tech circles of the Bay Area. It's amazing the tide seems have changed again. It is now Microsoft who's going offensive: investing the right companies, producing products faster and better than Google. The Bay Area techies should really pay attention to MS now.
That just looks like those fake review/comparison/advice sites that have polluted search results for ages. I can tell they're bullshit. I guess bing can now reach people who can't, or will be so distracted by the fact that it's "AI" that they won't notice.
A freshly-imaged machine on public wifi should be more than enough to hide their identity. No reason they have to use Tor.
[edit: never mind, I didn't see others already mentioned this]
I'll take the slower printer speed if it means I get better reliability, repeatability and repearability. Any day.

I've wasted enough hours on fancy features/materials/settings that don't work. Couldn't care less about the feature of being able to print a part a few minutes/hours faster tbh.
Well.. lol.. guess I am not a modern web developer then because until GPT came out I wrote all of my HTML by hand, at least for the last several years. Before that I had phases with ASP/ASP.NET , WPF, and PHP.
It's sad to think that chat bots may have already peaked in their usefulness. I knew ads and monetization were going to ruin chat bots eventually, but I didn't think it would happen so soon. Microsoft had a real opportunity to eat into the market share of Google Search, but they just couldn't help themselves and had to start injecting ads into the chat, thereby ruining the value of the tool and hindering the adoption of Bing Search/Chat.
Customizing marketing experiences for consumers is a vastly different task than creating art. Creating images is a vastly different process than creating art though creating art might involve it. If you think art is merely customizing imagery things to suit people's preferences, you don't understand art. No matter how hard sci-fi gets, what you're talking about is still very much "fi".

WHAT SAFEGUARDS?

"Someone else should come up with something"

Like there's someone else out there (who aren't the people making the thing) who has a better idea on how to keep it safe.
As long as it's the latter - inexperience - yes. But a lot of the time it's just the aptitude and that cannot be taught (easily). I've seen my fair share of experienced, nice people with less that good aptitude for the job. A year later being nice and teaching, I see marginal improvement at a huge cost. It's not worth it at least in startups. I've also seen many young devs with the right aptitude but no knowledge/experience and they've turned out to be assets within a short period of time.
Too late. Snap, flatpak and command line ads made me switch to Debian testing. Not going back. Shuttlewho?
ouch, the youth not going to like that..

Also a terrible message for foreign companies investing in the US, you can get banned if you don't give up ownership/control of your own company if you become too big..
Yes that's exactly what I do, except they're not really all that well documented.

What are you doing in your daily biz? Could you provide some specific examples I'd like to see how chatgpt reacts to them.
And if you don't do it cheerfully, day after day, week after week, sacrificing lunches, nights and weekends, missing piano recitals and skipping vacations... you'll become somebody else's anecdote about a "brilliant jerk".
> Avoid political/philosophical discussions with people from Liberal Arts. They are full of ego's.

This isn't exclusively true of the Spanish speaking world though. The more I see the people of my generation who have achieved prominence in the academic humanities, the more I've concluded the main qualification is ego, tribalism, being a controversialist and titanium self-confidence in your genius. Actual intellegence or intellectual rigour is a handicap.
> having to stop for hours while waiting for your car to charge is much, much worse

Have you done this? I picture burning some kid-energy during those breaks. I'm genuinely curious about how that ends up impacting the trip experience.
Oh HN is going to love this.

> A somewhat more subtle form of negation, is refinement of measurement. One man says that a tank weights ninety tons. And for that particular discussion, accuracy is of no consequence. Yet someone’s ego speaks up and says, Ninety-two tons. Maybe he’s right at that. But he’s wrong just the same. […] This is a favorite husband-and-wife game. Let’s be on guard against it.

> The worst trick our ego can play on us, is to demand that we know everything. Let’s discipline ourselves until it’s easy to say, I don’t know. And let’s keep out of discussions when they’re on subjects outside of our recognized sphere. Our lack of real knowledge and experience is bound to display itself, and bring resentment from those who are really qualified to speak. Let’s slap our ego down whenever it starts laying claim to knowledge that’s too various.

> If we want our opinions or beliefs to be accepted, the worst thing that we can do is to press too hard for them, or to make a personal issue of them. Better not crowd for acceptance, but rather invite it. Better tender our advice with a softening It seems to me. Or an It appears. Or a Perhaps. Or with some similar concession to the ideas of our listener. True, there are times when we must speak as authorities in no uncertain terms. Even then, reasonable humility is seldom amiss.

> With our eye on our brother’s ego, we’ll see that concession is the very cornerstone of good human relations. We cannot reach human agreements without mutual concession. The self-respect that every man feels impelled to maintain, demands that he appear at least partly right. Therefore, let’s not ever try to prove anyone wholly wrong. Let’s find something herein we can feel that he’s right. Then let’s say so. We simply must not build up our own ego at any unnecessary expense of our brother’s ego. Let’s keep an eye on concession.
Hotel definitely sounds like the ideal use for it.

Getting to stay in an iconic building? And getting to brag about snagging a skinny triangle room? And the location on Madison Square Park is ideal.

Definitely hope it winds up that way. I could totally imagine Ace Hotel buying and running it if they didn't already have a location just a few blocks north. There's got to be another boutique urban hotel brand though?
Manufacturers mostly make black or white cars because that's what people want. Modern culture has made people so boringly conventional that there's no point in manufacturers painting on different colours, so they charge a premium or don't do it at all. Your explanation fails to explain why exactly the same trend is happening in fashion. Is there some conspiracy where clothing manufacturers are trying to restrict choice in clothing, too? At some point, you have to question the culture at large rather than individual industries.
How the hell did this person start their SWE career at the same time as me and come to feel they have an authoritative view on the state of the industry? Maybe it's because they're a recent grad and I'm an older career changer, but I still feel quite new to the industry.
we move on Earth as the planet rotates, Earth moves within its orbit in the Solar system, our Solar system moves within its orbit in the galaxy, and our galaxy moves (we believe) within the universe, though I don't think we know how fast or what direction; generally, everything outside our local group is moving away, though.
> Things don't need to be different just for the sake of being different

Indeed, but this also opens up an opportunity for things to be different because they can be different.
I’m interested which GUI CAD tools you tried? I don’t use it myself but I find Fusion 360 magnitudes more intuitive and capable than OpenSCAD, which I really tried to like!
Teams over individuals. Stop evaluating individuals in a vacuum, and evaluate them in team dynamics.

Sometimes the incompetent nice person multiplies the productivity of a team through morale, creativity and by offloading simpler tasks from more competent people.

The same goes for the competent jerk, who can be a 10x in output but also 1/100 overall by creating a completely toxic environment.
The Dawn of PR is just a good starting point. You can read Machiavelli or study the politics of the roman empire - all hierarchical societies tend to function like this, it's a like a mathematical distribution.

The New Deal along with social democracy in europe was a bargaining deal against the revolutionary forces existing at the time. After this was stamped out the Gini coefficient started to rise when the masses had no alternatives and global trade and outsourcing increasingly obscurred the falling realwages.
I feel like, if anything, AI will push people to upskill. A) it's obviously necessary, B) you will increasingly find yourself increasingly identifying edge cases, C) if you're in an exposed field (e.g. diagnostic medicine) you will find fewer people coming into the field, so there won't be a lot of backfills in the workforce.

straight up don't understand the dialogue around chatGPT replacing tech jobs lmao.

Ok can chatgpt understand the super ambiguous requirement demanded by the customer, translate it into something meaningful to implement, anticipate what the customer actually wants (or will need in the future) and make sure the implementation meets that nuanced complexity? doubt it.
