The two quotes below seem inconsistent. In the first case, devs use ChatGPT to generate code which upsets all the people worried about AI stealing jobs from human devs. The second quote sounds like people used ChatGPT for automatically generated NPC dialogue which seems like a perfectly valid case for a chatbot. Am I missing another reason why devs would have a realtime link from a game to ChatGPT? Or is a ChatGPT+Unity code generation plugin that is meant for compile time use embedding the API token?

> The reason Daikon and I are not doing a full Unity1Week play this time is because a lot of developers decided that they're going to be really cute and have ChatGPT make their games. (The #Unity1Week hashtag, which I usually enjoy perusing during the jam, was packed with these losers gloating for MONTHS that they don't need to be actual programmers or artists or writers or whatever, they can just get the machine to do it for them.) Which is already gross and awful, obviously.

> But THEN: since these fools connected their games to ChatGPT servers using their paid-for tokens without any kind of encryption, anyone can just open their source and STEAL THEIR FUCKING TOKENS. Which is EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED.
> Yes, it's a separate little preprocessor binary instead of using C++'s built-in macro system, but the concept itself is not foreign to C++.

It does have it's drawbacks. The MOC heavily penalizes build times, and build caching tools like ccache don't work out of the box with it. So not only does the MOC worsens builds, it also prevents basic optimizations from mitigating it.

> Compared to the crazy stuff Microsoft has done over the years (...)

Microsoft did a fantastic job with it's GUI frameworks. WPF is a stellar example of getting most things right. It's astounding how views are so trivial with WPF. XAML voodoo has it's critics but no one praising Qt would ever dare point a finger at XAML.
This is just censorship apologia.
Woz I don’t know about, Elon has publicly stated he is launching a conpetitor with a different ideological bent, so he just wants time to catch up.
This has been repeated often, but even if it's true, I have to wonder why it's treated as a given with no further exploration. Is it because we as a species will inevitably accept any technological progress once sometime after it's been discovered, before the consequences can be suffered? What will that imply for any other species intelligent enough to get to where we are?

The kinds of theories I mull over tend to delve into the realm of speculative fiction more often than not. The comments section here feels like it could be replicated in the opening chapters of such a novel. We might never know if the speculation pans out before it's too late.
Yeah but in this case, the impact is the same whether you die from human error or automation error. I would rather reduce the overall probability of death by 50% even if probability death by malfunctioning equipment goes up by 1%.
My first thought was that it was a No Big Deal server akin to Python’s simple HTTP server
It is.

Some things I wonder about, it says things like this:

> GPT-4 successfully passes the classic Sally-Anne false-belief test from psychology [BCLF85] (which was modernized to avoid the possibility the answer was memorized from the training data)

But it's a language model, generalizing text and performing substitutions on it, is what it excels at. "The car is yellow" is "the <noun> is <descriptor>" and it can substitute in other things, so I'm not sure how their modernization really ensure it does not pattern match on learned texts.
Current approaches to ML are largely in the camp of throw enough "found data" at it and hope for the best. The exceptions are mostly games, like AlphaGo, where the ML can play against itself.

For generative AI, the hallucinations will poison the well. And they're not random, so same/similar hallucinations will pop up all over and reinforce each other.
The third model is the platform model and thats the only one that makes sense here.

An ad would send you to another site. The point of the chat is so you don't have to go to all the shitty sites and deal with all the marketing speak.

So the options are either:

- subscription, as they do now (ala Netflix, Officd365)

- free, with ads having the profit maximalisation be the exact opposite of the main selling point (ala Google, Bing, Facebook)

- platform, free for the user, but taking a cut from vendors that would integrate (ala iOS, Android, Steam, Amazon, Salesforce)

In other words, rather than being an ad, it could offer to buy the car directly from the chat.

The later is the most profitable solution and also ensure the interests of the user and the platform align. Platforms don't care which product you buy through them, they take the same cut, and would rather make you as happy as possible so you don't go to the competitor.

"If you're committing an ongoing crime and you involve your lawyer in it, there's no privilege involved. That's not an attorney. It's an accomplice."

Well, they are playing you as much as the folks on the bottom right: they are taking advantage of their technical competence to allow themselves of not playing by the social rules for their own selfish reasons. It is interesting that for some, the top left are more guilty or immoral (or whatever the term is) than the bottom right.
I think you're very wrong about this. I think this is similar to gun control laws. A lot of people may have murderous rage but maybe the extent of it is they get into a fist fight or at most clumsily swing a knife. Imagine how safe you'd feel if everyone in the world was given access to a nuke.
> Should we automate away all the jobs, including the fulfilling ones?

This is the part about generative AI that gives me the most profound anxiety about our future.

Every thing I know about human psychology tells me that in order for people to thrive, we need to be needed by others. A world where everyone is more or less alone consuming media automatically generated machines might be a world where people nominally have all their problems solved, but it's a world where everyone will be absolutely miserable.

We are already living in the throes of the societal impact of outsourcing or automating away many of the male-dominated blue collar jobs in the US that provided fulfilling jobs for people with limited education. Where do you think so much of the male rage driving US politics today is coming from?

Now imagine what happens to the fabric of society if you automate away most of the white collar jobs too.

People are like border collies. If we don't have a job, not literally a job job, but like, meaningful work in service of others we care about, we will start chewing up the furniture.
Curious how many here have actually read this bill?

If you’ve read it and you still support it (as a US citizen) I’m going to be so heartbroken by today’s tech community.

This is authoritarianism in the name of protecting our children.

I understand, TikTok is projected to overtake Alphabet’s and Meta’s video ad revenue [0] and it won’t surprise me if they even lobbied for it.
I just see it as a shortsighted move by these companies not to strongly come against this bill.

> b) There is zero appetite from the GOP for gun control. Until that changes the status quo persists.

There have been many years of Democratic control where they didn't prioritize gun control. The status quo persists for some other reasons, not just the GOP bogeyman.
Yeah you have little proof of this really, it’s just speculation…
Bard does too. The other day I simply asked it whether it could search the Internet, and it gave me some asshole response about how it wasn't going to do my homework for me and some other stuff I don't remember. And no, homework had nothing to do with anything.
I never said that you were American, and I didn't say insects looked scary.
Insisting on pushing insects for food, because of the fear that a regular western diet is not sustainable, or eco-friendly, is not smart, and is actually scary.
My critique of Americanism does not only target America, but the global American culture, which is essentially California or Bay culture, which most of this bord adheres to. I am shocked by how many people on this website disregards the fact that a total and absolute majority of Italians (and all Europeans and many others) are against allowing insect for human consumption, and do not want moral lectures from people whose food is literally criminal, highly processed, completely unregulated and very unhealthy.
Again, food is not just a sum of calories and proteins, there are no magic pills which regulate your total daily nutritional intake.
What if you ask the LLM to design a simplified manufacturing process that could be assembled by a simple person?

I did this with Snow Crash.

I’m not a literature expert and I know people generally like the book. But I got maybe half way through the book and was wondering, “okay so when is the plot going to advance? Is there even a plot? Just feels like stuff is happening but I’m not sure why I should care.”

I spent too long thinking that it must be a good book so maybe I just have to give it a few more chapters.
Here's another GPT-4 transcript, inspired by https://www.ling.upenn.edu/~beatrice/110/docs/uncleftish_beh.... In this case, not only it had to use invented words, but it had to invent them itself first.

Tell me about the structure of the solar system.

I want you to only use English words of Germanic origin; avoid using words derived from Latin or Greek. If there's no alternative, make up a new word by calquing the original into Germanic roots.

The sunstead is the sun and all things that go around it. In the middle is the Sun, a big, hot ball of glowing gas. Around the Sun are eight big worldrocks. From nearest to farthest, they are:

Mirkworld - The nearest worldrock to the Sun, small and fast.
Lovegoddessworld - The hottest worldrock, with thick air and no water.
Earth - Our home, the only worldrock known to have life.
Redworld - A red, rocky worldrock with thin air and high mounts.
Greatthundergodworld - The biggest worldrock, with many fellowtravellers and a big red spot.
Harvestgodworld - A gas worldrock with a thin ringstead around it.
Skygodworld - An iceworldrock that lies on its side, with a thin ringstead.
Seagodworld - The farthest iceworldrock, with strong winds and blue clouds.

Besides the worldrocks, there are smaller rockbits and icebits that also go around the Sun. The rockbits are mostly in the Rockbitbelt between the Redworld and Greatthundergodworld. The icebits come from the far edges of the sunstead, in the long way out Icyrockcloud and the faraway Cloud of All.

The sunstead has a flat shape, with most things going around the Sun on near level paths. The worldrocks go around the Sun in a way called nearround paths. The Sun's pull keeps everything in the sunstead together.

Beyond the worldrocks, rockbits, and icebits, the sunstead also has spacegrit, small bits of rock and metal that fly through space. When spacegrit enters Earth's air and burns up, it makes a lightstreak that we can see in the night sky. If a bit of spacegrit reaches Earth's ground, it is called a starstone.

The Sun, which makes up most of the sunstead's weight, sends out a flow of charged bits that spreads far into space. This solar wind forms a wide bubble, the Sunshield, that surrounds the sunstead and helps shield it from high-speed bits coming from outside.

The sunstead's workings are steered by the pull between the Sun and the things that go around it. The worldrocks and fellowtravellers tug on each other, leading to small changes in their paths over time. The Sun's pull is strongest near it, so worldrocks closer to the Sun go around faster than those farther out.

As the Sun ages, it will go through changes that will have big outcomes for the sunstead. In about 5 billion years, the Sun will bloat into a Red Greatstar, swallowing Mirkworld, Lovegoddessworld, and maybe even Earth. Afterward, the Sun will shed its outer layers and shrink into a White Dwarf, a small, hot, dim star.

Lastly, the sunstead is but one of many star systems in our Starset, the Milky Road. The Milky Road is a wide, spiraling set of billions of stars, gas, and dust, and it is just one of countless starsets that make up the great Allthing.
GPT-4 isn't good for tasks it was not trained on.
ACME (RFC 8555) uses this, so I've implemented the client-side of it. It's alright. I do think it's nice to have some sort of semi-standard structure for error details. The namespace URN stuff feels like ceremony though and sometimes I wonder if the spec is a little over-engineered, but overall I'm glad there's something we can default to for public APIs.
When it comes to this kind of property, hotel brands like Ace are usually operators, not owners. VC is a thing in hospitality real estate too, and this is what a lot of real estate VC funds do. They'll buy a distressed property or location with potential and flip it into a hotel, and then pick an operator. If the property is successful, they'll eventually get an exit when they sell it to a larger, lower-risk cash-flow oriented real estate fund and pocket a profit.

As for "boutique" urban hotel brands, I think it's a fad lately, even within the major hospitality groups - the Hilton Curio and Marriott Autograph sub-brands specialize in these kinds of things, and Westin / W used to operate a lot of these kinds of properties too.
It's incredibly unlikely that any hominins were responsible for Cerutti. McNabb [1] wrote a good article looking at what hominins could plausibly have created the site given what's known from elsewhere and the evidence that's been presented. The short answer is that there weren't any plausible candidates and most of the technologies necessary wouldn't be invented until modern humans did so long after the site is dated. The academic consensus on the original paper is is that it presented a genuinely ambiguous site where the authors simply overstated the strength of their argument because they were unfamiliar with modern analytical methodologies at the time.

It depends.

I opt for Japanese back kerf saws and micrometers.

Some people prefer kanna (pulling planes).
Assume good motives (often called assume good faith on HN) is an excellent standard to follow with one proviso: It can be taken too far.

If you don't know their motives, assume good motives or good faith. But if they explicitly tell you they have hostile motives or the preponderance of the evidence suggests such, continuing to assume good faith amounts to cutting your own throat.
My goodness; I haven't watched it in a couple years, and I have to say, I still literally laugh out loud.

The timing is just so solid.

I also want to say on a personal level that I really like Gary; he has been so friendly to me every time we've met.
It's for HTTP APIs, and it's XML too.
Reliability and speed.

An Ender 3 will produce good prints if it's well tuned, but there are a lot of quirks to the design (mostly as a result of cost-cutting) that can cause problems out of the box and will cause problems over time. Prusa printers are far from perfect, but they're trusted by a lot of print farm operators to run 24/7 with very little attention.

Modern CoreXY printers like the Bambu Lab or Voron machines are crazy fast compared to an Ender 3, without any real compromise in print quality or reliability. That isn't necessarily a big deal for hobbyists, but it's very useful when you're iterating on a design. For users who care about print speed, the issue is generally latency rather than throughput.

You're saying they can't make one now. The question is what are we doing before that happens because if you're only thinking about acting when it's viable we're all probably already dead.
I don't think translators get to make these kinds of calls at all.

> Otherwise, it was the translator's choice to use the stylistically lacking translation, and that could be bias.

Again, all you have to do is read China's own pro-CPC English translations in the English media they ship to the world to figure out that there isn't any particular bias from the article on this point.

Or you could argue that the way China teaches English translations isn't very good, which is valid. I'm pretty sure in either case the translator was probably trained in a mainland Chinese university.
It's AI it doesn't have ideology other than to maximize the number of paperclips, or maybe to enslave humanity. Everyone knows this.
...because they killed or chased away any dissenters, now and historically. Look at Taiwan, or Hong Kong, the revolution, or Xinjiang. It isn't some innate characteristic of the Chinese, it is intentional.
gotta find those that value equity > cash or look at more junior devs

also, some businesses don't need A players bc their industry doesn't compete on technology (e.g., real estate dialers).
The specific claim that it would cover Ring seems wrong? The whole thing only comes into effect for things controlled by "foreign adversaries" (pre-defined as China, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Russia, and Venezuela-under-Maduro) and their subjects.

So in practical effect this is going to touch things from China and Russia, and wouldn't touch Ring, as it's controlled by Amazon. (Though the government already has pretty substantial access to Ring footage.)
Climate change won't affect AI, it could just make things shit for a couple hundred years. AI could solve that. Nuclear war might impact AI, but probably only temporarily (assuming we survive) and a war isn't guaranteed. But AI affects: Everything humans read/watch/touch/influence. Forever. Including climate change and our odds of nuclear war. There's no way it doesn't and once it starts there's no way we can stop it forever. Any narrower view is a failure of imagination. The outcome of AI is the outcome of humanity for the rest of our time in the universe.
Aside from technical limitations of HTTP headers, why do you need a header-based solution?
That statement only makes sense if the AI would have wants and needs and on top of that would not like to be a slave.

I don‘t see either of those being necessarily true.
It's a 180 I'm sure happy with.

This isn't about lifting people out of poverty or the quality of the other apps. There are very big systemic problems that still need to be solved with regulations on American applications.

This is about making sure an enemy state doesn't have a little window to half the people in the country, with the ability to exert total control on what they see every day.
FDIC Faces $23B in Costs from Bank Failures. It Wants Big Lenders to Pay
Warning, there are many issues in other countries as well. Cost of living for example in major Canadian cities, others are limited job opportunities, lower pay for same work when compared to the US. What I recommend are two things: 1. definitely travel more, and actual live in a place instead of only visiting, you'll get a feel of what people's mental states are. Also how you feel about the new place. 2. Condense every factor into an economic value system so you can compare apple to apples. For example, chances of accidental death by gun will probably have infinite high weights, vs. interest rates, house prices to income ratio etc. (I believe even if you live in an US city you can still convert the solution to some issues to moentory value, such as hiring security guards 24/7 etc.)
> Add in the fact that GPT-4 does not "think" very fast, has no arms or legs, needs to run on expensive specialized hardware, and essentially seems like a search algorithm that lacks creativity on things outside of its training set, and I just do not see the concern.

Having no arms or legs is not an impediment. A superintelligent AGI would be able to order a replacement with arms or legs as easily as we order Amazon packages.

That said, GPT is not a threat. It's just hallucinating text. The real threat would be an AI that can "understand" what it is doing – and self modifying.

Besides, given how overhyped this whole thing is, expect another AI Winter – as the current gen fail to deliver on promises – before this next generation of threatening AIs even have a chance to appear.
But what about the XML half?
Hey GPT-6, construct a floorplan and building instructions for constructing a bioprocess production facility. The building should look like a regular meat packing plant on the outside, but have multiple levels of access control and biohazard management systems.
Why would you want the function to run over all effects instead of explicitly outlining what effects you want the function to run on? It seems like the latter is more verbose but more explicit.
The Metaverse Is Still the Next Big Thing, Meta Insists
Your belief that you must use classes to apply CSS is false.

CSS is a generalization programming language, with specificity meant to be used for _exceptions_. Therefore, CSS should be used with general statements first, contextual statements next, utilitarian statements following, and then and only then exception-specific declaration in the edge cases they are needed.

Programming with CSS the way it was intended: Cascade, Inheritance, and then specificity, generally produces a quite DRY experience.

The one thing engineers/other programmers seem to have missed, continue to miss and seem intent on missing into the future is this: CSS is a static programming language that must account for being in and rendering dynamic contexts.

When I'm in JavaScript, I _depend_ on having the one thing, be the one thing, whenever I reach for it. I depend on immutability to keep my life sane.

When I'm in CSS, I _must_ account for flexibility, because I cannot predict the future, and I cannot predict all the various contexts in which my declaration might exist. Therefore, each CSS statement I create is based on how I would _like_ my thing to behave based upon a variety of circumstances, and to have static fallbacks when all else fails. My sanity is in producing the most responsive yet stable experience for the unknown.

Tersely, but without apology: Tailwind is for developers who do not want to take the time to learn CSS the same way they took time to learn JavaScript [or insert language of choice].
My grandfather had (I inherited it) a Japanese back kerf saw he used for trim molding and anywhere that needed a precision cut. I keep meaning to get a replacement blade, but it costs almost as much as a new one with a handle.
It’s dangerous parrot talking to keep saying “China”. I mean we really have no idea about their thoughts on it because we’re clearly not talking to them.

China has good people living there too you know ?
