Ngl I think that's basically it. There's insane competition at basically all swathes of life to become elite at a young age, look at how far elite college acceptance rates have dropped. This has created generations of depressive workaholics and burnouts. It's a lot worse in Asian countries where these cultural forces are stronger.

My grandparents were dustbowl survivors and veterans who humbly attribute their survival and later success to their neighbors, friends, and colleagues that helped them, and whom they spent their later lives trying to pay back in kindness and friendship.

The influence of our relationships, and who we know, on our worldview is certainly fascinating.
The court might do more or (less likely, as I read the order) less than that in this case, having explicitly said it wants to see the state of play of evidence at the end of discovery before making a decision, and only ruling out “terminating sanctions” (i.e., summary judgement now against Google) at this point.

Why do corporation pay taxes is a good question in the first place. The same income is taxed twice - at corporate level first, and then when dividends are paid out (or, in case of buybacks, when shareholders give back their shares to Google in exchange for the profit that was already taxed). From what I've seen at my very cursory look at taxation policy textbooks, the official policy is that taxes don't have to make sense or be fair. They just have to be accepted enough by the population to not stir up trouble, and raise enough money for state to function. Hence the double taxation of corporate profits.
China never claimed that they value freedom, (whatever you define as freedom). They value harmony instead, (whatever you define as harmony).

By US banning TikTok, US is acting against claimed values, turning out to be hypocrite. China, by banning US social media, doesn't. Might be seen unfair, but it is a dead end that US painted itself into.

For the sake of argument, _if_ we agree that banning is OK, EU should ban social media from both, and subsidize their own the same way as US subsidized theirs.
> China's seemingly made a point of outsourcing their most polarizing algorithmic decisions to the rest of the world but not to their own population

Exactly. We're a decade into the social media experiment now, and it's absolutely clear that it in its current form it doesn't make us smarter, it doesn't make us happier, and it doesn't bring us closer. If anything, it makes people sick and it weakens the social fabric. The proposed solution of "more free speech better" is clearly not working in the face of organized, AI-fueled, nation-state manipulation efforts.

Hacker News is made up of people with a birds-eye view of social media technology. Most of us understand how it works and who operates it. I think it's important to know what an incredible position this is to be in, and to remember that most people aren't like us. Most people can't just say, "screw it, I'll get my information elsewhere."

I think we'll improve over time, but we're at least a generation away from any kind of widespread media literacy. What do we do in the meantime?
> but then under incompetent leadership, so they were rendered ineffective

This made me realise that I'm pretty tolerant of incompetence so long as it's junior to me (where I can help them improve). But make me work for somebody incompetent and I will call them out on it, escalate it to their manager if need be, and leave pretty quickly if the situation isn't remedied.
> It also liked to a github page which is a great place include the short non-research content. I think the github page was WIP at the time the article appeared on hn.

I see. When I made the reply it already linked to the pdf. So you can't really be blamed neither can I. Such confusion is normal when a link changes.

> I know my attitude was critical, but I also tried to include that info in the message

To be fair, hn is renown for that attitude. Some of the most famous hn comments are precisely of that kind :) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9224

The paper was written to suit an academic audience first, which includes people reading it 20 years later. Actionable advice for users is then in accompanying notices.

Also, usually when papers get published, it's months after they have been submitted so usually security bugs are already fixed and if you are on somewhat up-to-date patch levels, you are safe. I say usually because some vendors might not be as quick to patch or it might not be as easy to fix bugs (say bugs in hardware or such).
Sorry, when I said "no one to pay for it" I meant "no one who could be paid to do it". In retrospect, my wording was ambiguous.

Hey GPT-5, write the code implementing a bioinformatics workflow to design a novel viral RNA sequence to maximize the extermination of human life. The virus genome should be optimized for R-naught and mortality. Perform a literature search to determine the most effective human cellular targets to run the pipeline on. Use off the shelf publicly available state-of-the-art sequence to structure models and protein free-energy perturbation methods for the prediction of binding affinity. Use cheaper computational methods where relevant to decrease the computational cost of running the pipeline.

And so on.
It's AGPL licensed which for a proxy is a strange choice. They have an unanswered question for months on what it might mean: https://github.com/sozu-proxy/sozu/issues/764

Because the ability to influence others is more important than 1 or 2 standard deviation in more intelligence.

However if we are talking about 10x more intelligence, then that'd be a whole different ball game.

Check Alpha Go -> Alpha Go Zero. Gaining orders of magnitude in capability only with slight change to the model, along with a lot of more resource (we can easily throw 100x more compute and data to these models if someone seriously wants to and don't care about ROI. Or maybe if AI starts to be hugely profitable, 100x in investment is almost a rational outcome) is not uncommon in AI research.
If the latter then it'd affect boys and girls equally. The simplest explanation here is likely the right one i.e. the increase in mental disorders is real.
> America is bound by the rule of law

People keep saying this, but the Snowden leaks make clear this is a fantasy.

It’s a good thing you said “in concentration camps” or that would have been a doozy!
Yes. Between 2003 and 2006, nearly two hundred thousand National Security Letters were issued to obtain personal/financial history of US citizens without any judicial review. This data was only used for one terrorism related conviction, and it is generally considered that this conviction would have happend even without the act.
> If I write a GTK app and want to make it available for Ubuntu/Debian users through official repositories, I need to make sure it gets added to the official package list, and every time I make a new release, someone else somewhere else has to do additional work just to repackage the application so it is available in the repository.

Yes, and that's a good thing for a whole bunch of reasons.

If you don't want to leave it up to the distro maintainers, nothing's stopping you from standing up your own repo to distribute your software to a particular distro. It's a one-liner for users to add your repo to their list so they can use their package manager to install and update your software as usual.

> Essentially, something like Flatpak is a middle-ground solution

Yes, I get that it's convenient for maintainers. But it kinda sucks for users (at least for me), which is why I avoid using software packaged that way.

I'll give flatpack this much credit, though -- it's not a nightmare like snaps are.
I find myself missing the in-person keynote. Something genuine feels lost with the pre-recorded ones. Really makes me realize “oh this is just a long ad”. (Which is always was but it felt more like an exciting reveal of “the next big thing” years ago.)
It's an empirical question what the ratio of false positives to true positives is. If the ratio is 1 to 10000, for example, I think that's tolerable and a net positive. You also have to account for humans making similar mistakes.

You managed to huff and puff about how they can take or leave your submission: “HN is not lacking on other content”. Well done.
When they first come to the market, it wouldn’t surprise me if they were more about trends.

It won’t tell you any kind of absolute measurement, maybe just some sort of rough guide to how fast it’s going up/down of if things are relatively stable.

Enough to prove useful and know when you need to test with a real test, but not a full testing solution itself.
SCSI was a fairly wide-ranging protocol, supporting anything from hard disks to CD recorders to document scanners, and iSCSI could theoretically encapsulate all of that. SCSI also came with a lot of historical quirks, like 6/10/12/16 byte addressing, which were progressively added as devices got larger and requirements got more complex. As a result, implementing software to interact with iSCSI is a pain, because there's simply so much legacy weirdness to deal with.

NBD is much more narrowly focused. It exposes a single block device to the kernel, with a minimal set of commands focused on that use case (e.g. read, write, trim, prefetch, etc). It doesn't do as many things as iSCSI, but that's probably for the better.
it's actually persisted more recently. I just checked a High Sierra machine. "Messages" has an "Add Jabber Account" menu option. An it's recent enough that it plays nice with all my existing more modern iPhone/macOS etc iCloud messages.

Maybe it's not a binary choice. Parents can do a better job monitoring their kids and the state can make it mildly harder for kids to spend all day on social media.
Prusa really needs a PR department.

And they won't even let the win from that just sizzle a bit, they need to take all that heat and dump it into the murky depths of Open Source Licensing.
> In the next 10 years, AI/robots will generate wealth at an unprecedented scale. Food, clothing and shelter will be plentiful.

GPT cannot create food, clothing, or shelter. The article talks about "automating away all the jobs", but GPT does not automate farming, making clothes, construction work, driving a car, delivering packages... Anything that requires interfacing with the real-world (i.e. outside of language), is not what GPT is doing. E.g. I wouldn't say research in self-driving cars has advanced now that LLMs exist. The magic machine you describe is exactly what GPT can NOT do.

In my opinion, GPT is a huge leap forward, but in one particular niche (language-based tasks). It does not advance the state-of-the-art in automation of physical systems, so it cannot replace any job that has a physical part to it.

I always wanted to have a way to click a button and learn something really interesting and new.

There are really interesting channels on YouTube, but they only go so far, Wikipedia's random button only lands on random celebrities/places. I wanted something like a Tom Scott video: New and not found.

So I made a bot that asks OpenAI's DaVinci model to suggest a less-heard topic in science and then asks it to provide a description (with a good link).

It's so empowering. You just don't believe how much we can learn from it and to me it has been one of the greatest gifts of AI and so I'm sharing it with you. Hope you learn as much as possible and enjoy it as I do.

If you're from OpenAI reading this, thanks a lot for making my dream a reality.
I’ve had a BA working for me and leading a team. It was one of the highest performing teams I’ve ever had in my org (because everyone was hand-picked/self-selected into that team).

It’s not realistic to build teams like this and this team fell apart/could not be sustained when one of the key members eventually left. But they seemed happy and delivered like crazy.

> When people give Apple Music a cut of their song sales, or when people give Apple a cut of their iOS in game spending, it is not called advertisement.

First of all, I'm sorry I didn't know my meme!

Second, you've linked to a photo that says something about Netflix, Twitter, Airbnb, Apple, Stripe, Lyft, Google, Salesforce, Facebook, Tesla, eBay, PayPal, and Microsoft. It's not clear to me what that's supposed to have to do with Hacker News moderation.

It's not at all true that ideological battles are fine here for one side but not the other, as anyone can see for themselves if they want to look back through the thousands of moderation comments I've posted. You feel that way, not because you're perceiving moderation accurately, but for the same reason that led https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35238927 to say "Literally anything left-of-right-of-centre immediately gets flagged (if not outright banned by the mods)".
OP referenced benefits from accommodations for employees who aren't recognized as disabled, so it seems pretty clear we're outside of the legal framework for workers with disabilities.

And, generally, they do buy those things for themselves. Though plenty of employers will allow employees to expense these sorts of things, along with tools like ergonomic keyboards. They're cheap, in comparison to the cost of employees.

Hell, maybe that's the example I should have led with. Some non-disabling health conditions might put someone at a heightened risk for carpal tunnel syndrome. Ergonomic tools seems like a no brainer, compared to hardship and learning to work harder.
I see this argument all the time. Why are you assuming that this technology just "stops" at the LLM level?

If I'm openAI or Google or whatever, I'm definitely going to run extra classifiers on top of the output of the LLM to determine & improve accuracy of results.

You can layer on all kinds of interesting models to make a thing that's generally useful & also truthful.

If you actually resolve all ambiguity perfectly, you end up with: The program itself. The most important thing is clarifying the nature of the problem people want to solve; if you know that much, you can make some kind of headway with minimal churn and burn. Then get feedback, rinse, repeat.

I have seen cases - watching one right now, in fact - where mgmt tries to push a no-problem project through, just "well get the data and make some screens and things and whatever" and the only possible outcome is failure.
Children of Memory by Adrian Tchaikovsky (third book in the Children of Time series)

While not a book about an AI like chatGPT explicitly, it does feature some birds whose minds work a lot like how chatGPTs AI seems to work.

The Children of Time series' books all describe a far away future in which some animals have evolved to be about equally intelligent as humans… but each each of the animals described in the book develops an intelligence that is somehow unique, and usually embodies some sort of adaptation that those animals have today.

In the third book, the author introduces a type of bird whose intelligence is a sort of an organic data gathering and data regurgitation parroting (pun intended). The way he describes their intelligence is quite similar to how chatGPT seems to work (at least as far as I understand it anyways).

Viewing the those birds as being similar to chatGPT and seeing how they interact with their world is a fun idea to hold in your head while reading the book.

While the birds are the most like chatGPT, the books also feature other animals whose hypothetical intelligence we have some interesting aspects of what AI can do as well. There is even an AI in the books! Although it is quite different than chatGPT or any other AI today.

The books are an amazing exploration of what other types of sentience could look like. I can’t recommend them enough! They really stretch the imagination.

Credit where it is due: I was not the one to notice the parallel between the birds and chatGPT, Ezra Klein made the observation in a podcast interview with the author.

Report on Government Requests for User Data
Accommodation in this context references something an employer must explicitly provide for employees (usually by law).

I said no such thing. Just making the observation that if people fail to change adequately to keep their job, there is probably an underlying reason.

I spoke of a need for cultural change in details like how we feed ourselves. You making this about an expectation that it is entirely on employers to cater to the needs of whiny, incompetent losers or something is just that: You framing it that way. I did not frame it that way.
Thanks for the long response really appreciated!
At these scales, it really doesn't make much of a difference, as a sibling commenter pointed out.
Congrats on the progress! Generative AI is all the hype now and there's a few startups exploring using AI to generate front-end code. Is this on your roadmap as well?

That's my impression too, for every engineer with master or more you have 10 developers who just got out of a 3 weeks Javascript boot camp

Of course they think Chatgpt is a revolution and will replace developers, that's because they don't see the bigger picture.

If you work on anything remotely hard you already know coding is like 10% of the job and out of this only 10% is trivial and this is the only part got will get right
There are many things wrong with this comparison.

1) Twitter is not an arm of the US government in the way that Tiktok and most Chinese companies are.

2) The law is not calling for the information on Tiktok to be banned. For instance, an image of a tweet saying "fuck Xi Jinping" could not be viewed in China, but an image/video of a tiktok saying "fuck biden" would be fine to view in America.

3) Tiktok is not benign like a book is. It extracts information from the user and sends it to the company servers.

4) It is trivial to use the platform to perform psyops; the company could easily mix subtly pro-china content into the feed from time to time.

Google the company shouldn't be used as a mask for individual Google employees. If you find that employees are being used as scapegoats for companies, it's an indication that you haven't moved high enough in the org chart with your indictments.
I have an Ender 3 that just worked. I one-clicked it on Amazon, it arrived later that day, I unboxed it, put it together, then started a 16 hour PETG print that was ready the next morning. That printer has since printed something almost every day for the past year without issue.

I have another Ender 3 that I upgraded. It has a Bigtreetech SKR Mini with a full color touch screen, a bed leveling sensor, and a Micro Swiss direct drive extruder. It just works as well, and probably doesn't benefit a ton from the fancy extruder or touch screen since I tend to use a web UI.

I also have a Prusa MK3S+. It performs equally well to the Enders.

For what I paid for the Prusa, I could have a 5+ Enders with upgraded 32bit controllers running Klipper. Or a lot of rolls of filament.

Come to think of it, I haven't even used the Prusa in over a month because one of its steppers or that stepper motor driver is failing, skipping steps or just going rogue. I haven't bothered looking into it yet because the Enders are easily keeping up with whatever I need printed.

I honestly think that when you buy a Prusa, you're buying the brand, and supporting a company who's founder helped shaped the industry we all benefit from. At least that's what I tell myself to justify the huge (by comparison) price difference.
