His books are enjoyable, I'd recommend his most recent one "Four thousand weeks" and the previous one "The Antidote" as well. Especially if you're overwhelmed or gets hit with anxiety often.
this somehow always comes up when anybody mentions human sweating or how good we are walking large distances. But whoever thinks it's feasible to hunt any animal worth its calories just jogging behind it has never chased a playful dog. A furry mammal with no sweat glands has way more endurance than any fit man and let's not talk about top speed. You'd never catch it.
If angels came from the heavens and offered to take care of our needs, would you fight them?

I think it’s a coincidence that it’s threatening some kinds of artists first - I don’t see that distinction lasting long with the advent of plugins, and art has a fundamental, semi- necessary human quality that is not present in knowledge work.

Don't know about a scene, but EC2-like access to virtual GPUs was rumored to be pretty dangerous, potentially even to the hardware itself (think something like changing the voltages via undocumented registers). The attack surface there is enormous. It was rumors, maybe someone here knows better.
yeah curious how adblockers will work on this. it would need to work in a manner that is grammatically correct so likely would involve another LLM rather than blindly removing ad-related words from the response.

Ah, but ChatGPT is trained mostly on English materials.
You can find the flow, and scientists can measure it
Yeah. Pretty high stakes. If we assume that work is already underway to create unaligned AIs, what’s the alternative?
This is an unusually poorly written Wikipedia article with a very weird style and a lot of unsourced statements. I would be very hesitant to trust it without extensively reading the sources.
OMG never realized that $ is an infix operator - Plenty of times where I needed something like $(NF-1) and instead used verbose stuff like

I wasn't aware this was even controversial. The question highlights how one can choose to answer on the basis of data or on the basis of reasoning.

In this and many other areas it seems that people place a priority on data driven answers opposed to logic driven ones. Part of the challenge has to do with scientific publishing. These days database results are much more likely to be published then well thought out but entirely conceptual results
I've fallen in love with videos of a lot of Chinese sedans. I very seriously think that if import tariffs get worked out and the Chinese EV companies make a serious effort, they have a ripe opportunity to blow up in the US market the way that the Korean sedans did for Gen X and the Japanese sedans did for the Boomers.

(That's such a dumb cycle: Americans forget that they love sedans until an importer starts importing them in bulk. The importer themselves forget Americans love sedans and move on to trucks/SUVs like everyone else. Some new importer needs to come along to disrupt the market again.)

(Related to that, I also fell in love with the Honda e and knew that to be futile love because Honda of America is a truck company.)
Almost nothing is quite an exaggeration - we know a whole lot about GPT3 (their paper was quite detailed), and even if OpenAI made some tweaks beyond RLHF the underlying model and training objective are most likely the same.
> And if the lawyers are in on it, they're over billing and keeping building an escrow fund that would go back to one of them at the end.

The ones in charge of the bankruptcy are also bleeding the customers and investors dry. They charged $700 million in the Madoff case. There are $10 bn missing here. It's not unthinkable they'll steal 10% of that.

They are vermins, just as scummy as SBF. But it's legal.
Dumb phone cut you out of the majority of communication protocols, no whatsapp, imessage, facetime, or discord. Gen Z is one of the first hyperconnected generations that grew up using social media since they were born. Dumb phones are not on the rise, this is a terrible article. In the US, it's actually hard to get a dumb phone for certain carriers since 3g/gsm bands were turned off making VoLTE a required feature. I personally can't see myself ever choosing to get a phone with a bad digital camera.
I hope it's not against any rules... it's not as far as I know of, so I plugged your comment into ChatGPT:

Sure, I'd be happy to help you get started with 3D printing! I'll break it down into a few steps, from learning the basics of 3D modeling to printing your first custom part.

Learn the basics of 3D modeling:

To start, it's important to get familiar with 3D modeling software. Two popular free options are Tinkercad and Blender.

Tinkercad (Beginner-friendly): Tinkercad is a browser-based, user-friendly CAD software that helps you create 3D models easily. It's perfect for beginners.
Tinkercad tutorial: https://www.tinkercad.com/learn/designs

Blender (Advanced): Blender is an open-source 3D modeling software with a steeper learning curve but offers more advanced features.

Understand 3D printing basics:
Learn about 3D printing technologies, materials, and the process. This will help you make better decisions when designing your parts.

3D Printing basics: https://www.3dhubs.com/guides/3d-printing/

Choose a 3D printer:

When you're ready to buy a 3D printer, consider factors like build volume, material compatibility, and price. A few popular entry-level 3D printers include:

Creality Ender 3: https://www.creality.com/goods-detail/ender-3-3d-printer
Prusa i3 MK3S: https://www.prusa3d.com/original-prusa-i3-mk3s

Learn to prepare models for printing:

Once you've designed your 3D model, you'll need to prepare it for printing using slicer software. This software converts your model into instructions for the 3D printer. Popular slicer software includes:

Ultimaker Cura: https://ultimaker.com/software/ultimaker-cura
PrusaSlicer: https://www.prusa3d.com/prusaslicer/

Print your first project:

Start with something simple to familiarize yourself with the 3D printing process. Then, move on to more complex projects like your custom Magic Trackpad support.

Join online communities:

Participate in online forums and communities to get advice, feedback, and inspiration. A few popular 3D printing communities include:

r/3Dprinting subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/3Dprinting/
Thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/

Follow these steps, practice regularly, and you'll be well on your way to becoming a 3D printing hero. Good luck!
I am loving this, so simple but very useful!

Instead of filters, do you consider adding preferences which are applied by default for a user? I wish to have a release year filter setting. I usually prefer watching movies released recently

I would also suggest to keep the adult and crappy movies, may be in the preferences
This was one of the coolest demos I've seen in a while. You should share that number around more prominently (and get more bandwidth, starting to get errors!), it does a fantastic job of explaining what you do.
This would be a good excuse for a smaller company that doesn't have the resources but amazon is literally the largest cloud provider in the world. Amazon could scale instantly to deal with queue size no problem and at cost since they own the aws services needed to do so. I don't think queue size or under-provisioning makes sense here at all. Validation and some human element checking inventory matches sales makes sense but that's essentially what the author is suggesting is going on here.

>That makes the border very important. Even if drawing the line in the right spot is impossible, it's imperative that we recognize when it has gone from one side to the other,

No it's not. Because such a line may not even exist. Just as no line truly exists for what is hot and what is cold. It's more worth it to look at societal implications in aggregate then to debate about a metric.

It's not imperative at all to discretize the concept. Treat a gradient for what it is: a gradient. You can do that or waste time arguing about whether 75.00001 degrees is hot or cold.

>If we don't notice, we could accidentally cause a moral travesty orders of magnitude greater than slavery or genocide.

No this a bit too speculative imo. Morality is also a gradient along good and evil and what's more complicated is the definition of good and evil is also subjective. It suffers from the same problem as consciousness in addition to being completely arbitrary even at the extremes. We may agree that a rock is not conscious but not everyone agrees on whether or not Trump is evil.
I am far from a rust expert, but from a short look at stackoverflow copying between two slices of different sizes seems to be a for loop away and I saw no mention of unsafe.

OpenSSL called, your standard library sucks and it is going to provide its own significantly worse replacement for everything you can think of and at least ten things more.

So it is a drop in C replacement.

Google gets it wrong as well. That doesn't surprise me, it's frequently wrong with car prices and specifications, and should never be trusted. The source in this case seems to be KBB.

Well, I wouldn't say it's about CSS being a "beautiful thing". It's about delivering great experiences to our users, experiences that use our native tools in an optimized way.

Because, you can ship the same experience with less code, less dependencies, less complexity. You can better serve users by easily catering to their preferences via the cascade. You can make use of new technologies that increase performance (see, among others, HTTP3). You can profit from the newest supported CSS properties that are way more expressive and give you more flexibility for cheaper.

It's about trying to do the right thing.
Maybe because Paul Grahams wife Jessica Livingston is one of the financial backers of OpenAI?
Got the app, couple notes so far:

* Somehow, App Store SEO can't find it with "ephemera". "ephemera deadpan" found it though

* For me, personally, bookmarking is usually done on the computer and read elsewhere. Phone-only is restrictive

* Not a fan of paid unlock for basic features (setting expiration dates, accessing my own history (?!?)). I almost understand notifications if server costs are involved, like Apollo, but. While I understand devs gotta make a buck and this is both popular and well within your rights, I am not a fan of this trend
I’m not surprised. Isn’t the whole concept of Pinecone to spam HN with valuable looking content so you can bait and switch into “our generous free tier” (so it doesn’t matter in the end that you understood nothing, because you can just abstract it away)? I’m not sure what I dislike more. This kind of “content marketing” on HN, or the fact that it apparently works.
Show HN: A HTML export tool for Notion.so
Hi everyone!

I've been really frustrated with the way Notion.so exports your data.

I felt like I was locked into their environment, because the exported files don't resemble the original Notion pages very well.

This HN post really motivated me to take matters into my own hands: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35316679

I built notionSnapshot - a HTML export tool for Notion that looks just like the original pages (it's actually a fork of loconotion if you already know that project).

Anyway - it took me longer than expected to build and I would really appreciate your feedback.
I fully agree it is a research paper and the subject matter is absolutely great! My complaint is the research paper hints at what may be affected in the abstract, that got picked up in the title, and then it got a challenging to find actionable details quickly for either an end user or someone only mildly interested in the topic.

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 know my attitude was critical, but I also tried to include that info in the message (even though I found the responsible disclosure subsection after posting my original comment). I also feel that info should be present on HN in one of the top comments for these kinds of articles (regardless of whether it's mine or someone else's).

It should say "Amazon Fresh (retail stores)" because Amazon Fresh delivery is wildly successful. I can't see the point of having yet another brand other than Whole Foods.

Amazon Go doesn't make any money and doesn't scale.

Amazon palm pay at Whole Foods doesn't work. There's no way to easy way to opt-out of it or change cards, and took WF employees 30+ minutes to figure out how to remove it.
There's a lot of overstated FUD about the moc. It's a preprocessor that expands a few macro strings into relatively simple boilerplate C++. 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++.

The macro incantations aren't massively complicated and mostly are simple labels placed in header files; body code rarely uses anything moc-related these days.

Compared to the crazy stuff Microsoft has done over the years within and on top of C++ on their platform, Qt's moc is barely a footnote.

I respect not liking it, and I totally get the appeal of doing the same thing with tools built directly into the language (which to this day aren't fully comparable, and are mostly recent - check into the verdigris project for a solid and interesting take on attempting this), but it's a reasonably straight-forward approach to the problems it solves.

> However, self-checkout machines have already reduced queues to virtually zero in many supermarkets

This line surprised me because it isn't even remotely true in my part of the country, except during times when the stores aren't busy. The self-checkout machines almost always have a line and it's often quicker to go to one of the cashiers instead.
I hadn't actually read the chain cleaning page before but I did read his page on chains, which to an extent is contradicting with his chain cleaning page:

"New chains come pre-lubricated with a grease-type lubricant which has been installed at the factory. This is an excellent lubricant, and has been made to permeate all of the internal interstices in the chain. The chain and this lubricant need to be warmed during application.

This factory lube is superior to any lube that you can apply after the fact -- well, unless...see below."

Hard for me to tell what is original content vs. new. It has been empirically demonstrated that factory lube and grease are considerably inferior when it comes to drivetrain efficiency (performance) compared to a wet lube, which is less efficient than either dry lube or wax (with or without additives).

I've waxed chains for a while in the past but stopped a couple years ago. I now do a "good enough" quick clean of a chain using an undiluted degreaser, rinse with water and a final rinse with isopropyl. The whole process takes 5 minutes and the chain is clean enough for new application. Not clean enough for waxing, you'd want to throw in a solvent before ethanol/isopropyl, but good enough for wet/dry lube. I've no science to back longevity of chains following above procedure, I generally swap between 2-3 chains during a season to keep wear reasonable and then start fresh in the fall before indoor.
How would big pharma pushing medication achieve such a consistent and simultaneous effect across different countries with radically different healthcare systems and policies? And why would their lobbying have a greater effect on diagnoses in the teenager demographic, which due to the risks and side effects involved in psychiatric medication make youngsters less likely to be prescribed them than fully developed adults?
I dont agree that it means something about themselves.

We've been conditioned by our culture to expect that aliens want to conquer us, take our planet, etc. For every friendly alien movie like E.T. there are 100 aliens are gonna take our land movies.

It's comical to say that because I think aliens might not be friendly to think that I'm a conqueror who would conqueror other alien worlds?

I guess...what exactly are you daing it does it day about "themselves"?
I find it interesting that as a child, some of the books that I read about human colonization of the Americas distinctly mentioned this, and a few of these books were from the 1960's. So at least some Soviet historians had this idea quite a while ago.
One of the most important things we can teach kids today is how to teach themselves. I wouldn't have graduated college over a decade ago without Wikipedia and there are far better resources now.
My life is too complex for a dumb phone. I want TWO phones! One smart and fully featured (iPhone) and one dumb with just essential communication (phone/text). One telephone number, rings on both - is that so hard? I guess maybe with a "virtual" telephone this might be possible but those are increasingly not allowed IRL.
Respectfully, go RTF bills. They don't mention TikTok but as justification, and they implement huge "we can access all US physical infrastructure and all US internet service data" provisions, much like the Patriot act.

Oh, and add 20 year jail sentences for working around any bans they implement.

Not independently, but if wrapped with a loop, given memory, given internet access, and directives as intrinsic motivations, it could, in theory, come to conclusions and take actions to acquire resources aligned with its motivations. If that outer loop does not have rules (or rules that are effective and immutable), it could become very powerful and potentially misaligned with our interests.

Not quite on-topic, but I have to wonder: why go and develop these long-winded solutions when we can come up with obvious better ones? -- order on your phone (which is nice and easy because you can add to your grocery list with a smart home speaker/smartphone list throughout the day) and then it's automatically packaged (in an automated warehouse: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssZ_8cqfBlE ) and delivered?

And for folks who drive to work, have them shipped to their place of work. Places of work make accommodations like have parking for electric cars and cafeterias -- having a place for delivery storage strikes me as an obvious perk that has tremendous benefits for both employers and employees as well as the environment.

I'm using Nokia 105 for a few years as my only phone with SIM card and can't complain, except that the claimed 27 days of battery life is bogus, it never lasted more than 2 weeks on a single charge.
It’s called a distribution. Literally distributing the software. The distro deals with integrating all the packages into a single compatible system. This includes setting options to maintain system compatibility.

Packaging is not required for testing individual applications. That happens at build time and the developer writes the tests. These are not distribution specific.

The separation of concerns is very clear. If a distribution doesn’t package the code then the user is left to build the application themselves. It’s impractical that a developer would build and maintain their own packages for every flavor of every distribution.
> Cost of shipping products will also go down 10-20x.

However, to contribute small everyone in most countries can, simply by choosing what and how to consume and by voting, wherever that is possible

It's further worth remembering that Amazon happens to, y'know, own AWS. Since this is not a time sensitive result at all, they could be trying to do it in spare capacity by specifically downscaling when their customers tend to use things. It's complicated to pass that efficiency on to customers, but it's probably super easy to take advantage internally.
