Agree.

The author seems to be experiencing a case of what's known as Baader–Meinhof phenomenon.

There may be such thing as the AirSpace look, but this may be driven by cost cutting more than actual style.

Exposed brick, exposed air ducts, reclaimed wood, brass plumbing pipe lamps with Edison bulbs...

All this is DIY stuff you do when you want to keep your expenses at the minimum while making the place look nice, and it accomplishes that very well, if donde right, I think.

But I bet most people would go with a $50K custom Italian kitchen instead of exposed shelves if they could afford it.
I felt the same way when I really wanted a super soaker 2000 and then the neighbor kid got one before me. "MOOOOM!!!"
This has to be the dumbest take on this thread.

If you want the dystopian hellhole you seemingly long for, just use Android and enjoy the ad-infested crapware? No reason to moan about things you seemingly don't understand.
Sure. Also globalization, the internet, and cheaper flights have contributed significantly to this sameness and blandness. In the end, the same social forces are always at play: status-seeking, conformity, and many others. All of our aspirations and consumption are now globally defined.

edit: I'm not millennial, I'm a Gen-X. And this categories also contributes to this sameness and conformity.
That emergence is precisely what I'm looking for evidence of.

Human beings evolved to eat and reproduce and yet here we are, building computers and inventing complex mathematical models of language and debating whether they're intelligent.

We're so far from the environment we evolved to solve that we've clearly demonstrated the ability to adapt.

ChatGPT doing well at a language task isn't demonstrating that same ability to adapt because that's the task it was designed and trained to do. ChatGPT doing something completely different would be the impressive example.

In short: I don't categorically reject the possibility that LLMs might become capable of more than being "statistics-based text generators", I simply require evidence.
Writing code quickly may not help the mythical 10x engineer, but it might help a 1x engineer become a 5x engineer.

In relative terms, the unaided 10x engineer is now only a 2x engineer as his peers are now vastly more productive.

That's huge.
You'd probably want something way more sensitive than that, right? Something that goes well into the micro/nanovolts rather than millivolts. But it should be reasonably simple to do. Also the RTL board when designed with a good frontend should be a viable option.
I think the headline was being tongue in cheek. It probably generated more clicks than “5 clever examples of using ChatGPT via CLI for programming and data science”.

Still a good post and reply.
That sounds like a great way to grind the economy to a halt. The folks who are left include the long tail of people who make ~30k in a year.

> Getting to the station, and sharing a carriage.

Both things that are in common with air travel which seems quite popular.

A good train system is better at both. Stations are smaller and less noisy than airports so they can go directly in city centers instead of miles outside the city. And space and comfort per passenger is usually much better than airline coach class, plus on intercity trains you can usually move around to cafe cars, dining cars, etc.

Overnight trains are often built with private sleeping compartments if that’s more your style.
Conflating the two? Maybe. But here on HN you must assume people understand the difference: that Monsanto is dodgy as a company, but this doesn't generalize to GMOs as a technology.
Yes however langchain is not finetuning, it's basically indexing!
High level engineers solve the right problems quickly and put everything together in a resilient fashion. GPT4 may help them do that more quickly but they probably already will use copilot and templates and past project material and various generators for anything tedious.

10x engineering comes from someone who is trying to "be a better developer" actively for many years. Most people who just use the tools to create the product won't ever become that much better. They will just become more knowledgeable. It is the same as any natural skill. You can play piano for years and never really get better. Or you can try specifically to do hard work of improving your technique, theory, and performance ability directly. It will be way more emotionally taxing to do so, but the end result after years of doing this is that you're vastly better than most. Not everyone can even do this. You definitely have to be in a growth mindset and not particularly stressed emotionally at the outset and during the process.

My coworker at Amazon was just making macros nonstop for all these things he wanted to automate within his workflow. He would focus specifically on the hardest problems that we haven't solved first and everything else around it would just spring up together rapidly (I don't even know how he did this). He ended up being heavily involved with AWS and later went to Netflix.

It's not just about "all in 1 file".
Food for thought: with minimal processing, rice can be turned into a consumer-ready foodstuff that keeps for years without refridgeration. The plant itself produces a greater yield per acre than other grains and, when dried, packs an incredible 350 calories per 100 grams.

This is all to say that rice demands less farmland development, is more fuel efficient to farm, more fuel efficient to process, more fuel efficient to transport/store, and less prone to wastage. I'm not a climate scientist, but I suspect these factors balance out the calculus somewhat.

Perhaps more importantly: rice is cheap, delicious, and culturally important. It's simply not going away as long as people continue to live on this planet. That's not to say that we should consider the methane footprint to be an empty trifle, of course. It's absolutely still a problem to be solved.

One possible solution would the GMO route -- China is uniquely positioned here, since they have both the required research infrastructure and economic command to make it happen and get adopted. The promise of this is already starting to be realized with China's recent success in making truly perennial rice a commercial reality[1][2]

China needs to free Tibet and cease their domination of Tibetan Buddhism. China needs to rescind the national security law and restore democracy to Hong Kong.

> Basically all foods are cells

Modern nutritional ingredients no longer contain only natural substances, and most additives are untested.

"The European Commission is banning titanium dioxide (E171) as a food additive in the EU, starting with a six-month phasing out period as of February 7, 2022, until August 7, 2022, after which a full ban applies. Following the publication of Commission Regulation (EU) 2022/63 in the EU’s Official Journal (OJ) on January 18, 2022, Annex II and III to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 on food additives will be amended accordingly. The Regulation also includes a commitment to review the necessity to maintain or delete titanium dioxide (E171) from the EU list of food additives for exclusive use as a color in medicinal products. On November 30, 2021, the Commission had already published Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/2090 in the OJ, denying the authorization of titanium dioxide (E171) as a feed additive for all animal species."

https://www.fas.usda.gov/data/european-union-titanium-dioxid...

in 2000, E171 was considered safe, but now it is not. Generally, it can be concluded that the half-life of food additives' safety is quite short.

> Charge petrol users the true costs of their transport choices

Petrol/diesel users still massively outnumber EV users, and [at least in most places] everyone has a vote. Many less well-off voters are way more concerned about their family's immediate needs than they are about the long term future of the planet.

Politicians may be wondering if that's really a wise fight to start? At least, not right now.

I figured people were going to take issue with the opening anecdote about art, but that was simply the author trying to frame the story in an interesting way. The rest of the article was more compelling.

The ubiquity of the 5-over-1 architecture in the US is very striking. The NY Times had an article recently called "America the Bland" [1] which challenged people to tell if apartments were in Nashville, Seattle or Denver. All I could think looking through it was "These look exactly like all the apartments near me in Boston and Cambridge.

My fill up for 1100km is less than 10EUR.

During road trips it's much more like 15 minutes every 3 hours. Completely enough to keep going until people inside the car can't take it anymore, not a limitation of the car/battery. You make it sound like the stopping part is the hard part not sitting in a car that long.

Ha! i've also just finished up the initial version of a GPT game "engine" similar to this:

Wild stuff this technology.
I avoid both aspirin and (especially!) ibuprofen because of this. Admittedly my fault because 10+ years ago there was a period where I had a persistant nasty toothache and took too much ibuprofen over several months when I should have been trying harder to get the tooth treated (I did go to the dentist, but several expensive attempts at regular fillings didn't solve the problem and in the end I had to get a root filling). Ended up with stomach pain which lasted for months/years afterwards and even now its sometimes not 100%. Now days I feel like even taking just a few aspirins or ibuprofens can trigger it again. I reckon there should be stronger warnings about this.
Also very interested in this. From what I read, you need to train some other model in the "transformer" family yourself, or you can use OpenAI API for fine-tuning their model. Not sure which would be better in practice, or if either would work, but AI people at my company say the fine-tuning with even just a bit of data can result in a lot better (or different) results for the given domain.
This article is implicitly also an example of Hotelling's Law [0]

Essentially, it's rational for firms to move towards "the middle" of the market. That could be the middle of a boardwalk if you are a hot dog stand or the middle of the political spectrum if you are a politician.

It's not necessarily because of testing but rather because being in the middle gives you access to the largest section of the market.

As a counter point, you could argue that a counterpoint is the expression "there are riches in the niches".

The issue is that mean production has externalities (e.g. climate, labor conditions, environment, biodiversity, animal suffering), some of which we will soon no longer be able to ignore.

We can insist on ignoring the problems for as long as possible but that's still not forever. Eventually we will have to start paying the "real price", which would mean that meat gets a lot more expensive, as it used to be a few hundred years ago. But people will not like paying 3x for meat. They will have to eat less of it or look for alternatives, including insect-based foods. Such alternatives shouldn't be blanket-banned without good reason. (Not that I believe lab mean will be cheaper than animal meat any time soon)
Oh - I meant in the context of PAL!
I don't see how that's surprising, at least if you subscribe to the Endurance Running Hypothesis (and I do). Any prey humans used to hunt using what we now know as persistence hunting would have been large game. Especially in the hot, tropic climates early humans seemed to have thrived in, such meat would have started to spoil, even if hunted fresh, before any such hunter would have had the time to bring it back to the family group, let alone consume it. Meats in general have a very short shelf life and if we look to the various independently developed preservation methods in human groups around the world, many of them seem to be centered around a controlled decomposition by "favourable" organisms (like the maggots in the seal story).

There's also the simple observation that no doubt many of us have already made: animals all around us seem to have no issues with partially decomposed meat. Dogs don't seem to mind it, nor do cats, nor do other primates like chimpanzees. It's obvious that at least in our very recent evolutionary history we had far higher tolerance to spoilage.
Populism is part of democracy and some people even like it. But riling up your voter base to be excited about one bombastic law without (1) considering second order effects or (2) talking about what might be more pressing but unpopular problems, is not something I (and, seemingly, OP) like. And this does not even go into the usual malicious uses of populism.

This is the professional edition of Windows.
I am lately strangely obsessed with the decline of modern culture as seen in the MCU and Star Wars. This 'a-historic'-ness materializes itself in that the author's of She-Hulk have apparently never seen the 1970s struggle of the original Hulk, i.e., being an outcast on the run. Neither have they understood what made the original Star Wars trilogy work. Killing off the characters of Luke, Han, Lando, and Vader can only explained if the authors never understood the history of these characters.
Surely, these are all works of fiction, yet they are still part of our shared cultural history.

You're absolutely right -- the annoying thing about the "insect flour" debate is that nobody in their right minds suggested wheat in ordinary flour will be replaced or diluted with insects, because that would not even work for baking!

It was media outlets that spun the story this way - but in reality, insect flour is just another ingredient you can use for cooking, but not baking.

It's worth understanding how some people's idea of what is "great" (elite) is formed. Friedrich Nietzsche's endurance as a philosopher is a good index of the popularity of such ideas:

>Nobody grows rich or poor anymore: both are too much of a burden. Who still wants to rule? Who obey? Both are too much of a burden. No herdsman and one herd.

Uniqueness, standing out from a "mediocre" herd, "acceptance" of "harsh realities," etc. are not just how some people decide to enjoy themselves, but also how they look down upon others.

I’ve asked GPT to refactor blocks of code and it sometimes does a really good job, sometimes it makes it extremely verbose and wordy but you can’t always win.

I just hate how slow it is even with Plus. For analyzing code for debugging you’d ideally have something that moves a little faster.

Most of the article is about how growing rice contributes negatively to climate change, and also how it's not scaling up with demand and the yields are getting lower while demand increases.

However, they also make this claim:

> Rice’s nutritional quality is another growing concern. The grain is high in glucose, which contributes to diabetes and obesity, and low in iron and zinc, two important micronutrients. In South Asia the prevalence of diabetes and malnutrition can be traced to over-reliance on rice.

Is this true? Is South Asia's prevalence of diabetes notorious enough, and can it be traced to rice consumption? The article provides no references.
Will I get anything more out of this? As a 10x engineer I can expect to make at most double what a normal 2x engineer (1x engineers mostly get out of engineering in my experience) makes when I get to the tail end of my career.

However I also like to take nice vacations, do wood carving, play mandolin, go for long walks in the park, see my kids grow up, and all the billions of other things people do in life.

- The cable. Too short. Easy to tangle. Easy to trip over.

- Wondering why I suddenly had arms and where my awesome gloves had gone whenever I looked at my hands in the half-hour following any long session in Alyx.

I just got a new Thinkpad Yoga from work. It came with Ubuntu pre-installed, but I installed Arch. I'm actually surprised this model has the option of Ubuntu when ordering. So far so good; now that I've got something newer, I'm trying out the current state of Wayland, and there's some issues there still with KDE and SDDM and such.

If it'd have been my own choice, I'd have gone for a Framework laptop, but that wasn't an option since we have a fixed supplier. Apparently replacing components such as the keyboard on these models require taking apart the whole thing and replacing half the shell, compared to typical, more traditional Thinkpad models. I've had to replace the keyboard twice on my old T-series Thinkpad, and I'm really not looking forward to do that on this Yoga model (and I think the Carbon also requires taking it apart).
