I didn’t know there was a name for this. Thanks for sharing.

I’ve definitely been bitten by this. You always have to weigh the chance you break something against the upside. If you’re actually fixing a bug, fine. But just refactoring to make something cleaner? Or deleting because it seems like it’s not doing anything, even after doing some research? Think again.
I think the public really needs better education about these things. They're ascribing abilities that they just don't have.

Eliza is a bot from the 60s, and the last I knew there was a version from the early 2000s. Responses were based on simple patterns and psychiatrist-like reflection.

Example:
Me: I like green.
Eliza: Why do you like green?

If you start talking about suicide, Eliza has no clue and will give a seemingly callous response.

Already people are relatively illiterate when it comes to computers and this new AI stuff is just going to make things worse.
Mass manufacturing may be important, but there's also a fully reusable first stage, and then just executing. These days they're reusing things enough that I'm not sure the mass manufacturing is so important
Did you get multiple quotes? The "premium" contractors will commonly quote something sky high, but if you get another quote they'll commonly price match. I negotiated a HP install from a preferred contractor from $18k down to $9k with a price match earlier this year.
Now you removed my quotes from get. Tsk tsk :)

We may have experienced different complaints. What I hear is complaints like "Why on earth would you ever make switching to a branch be `git checkout`, that makes no sense?".

Queue historical context: Well very easy. In historical context, that would have been intuitive for people that would be using a version control system like git, because they were used to using tools that did the exact same thing.

Same way as a 20 something that has never used anything but git would not "get" why I say: "What's wrong with just using checkout? I've used that for years and years and it's second nature, why would you make me memorize a different way now? Also tell me, why can't I switch other things than branches with git switch, like a tag?"

It's like ChatGPT hype. I totally don't "get" it. If you believe the hype, we're all out of work yesterday. But it's actual capabilities seem to be far more limited and while useful for certain things and able to speed up development time if used right, it does not live up to the hype. Now of course you will correctly point out that not everyone is saying that and you are right. Just like not everyone complains about git checkout like I mentioned. But they exist and if not the majority they're the loudest.
Indeed! In NC this past January, Duke Energy asked everyone to turn their thermostats down. NC has the one of the highest percentages of heat pumps in the country:

Sarcasm might’ve been the wrong word. I meant to say I see you reusing whatever words I write to disagree with them.
> The brain is analog.

Everyone always throws this out there, and I always think, "analogous to what?" But I think it must be in the meaning of continuous signal. But only at a macro or molecular scale could the brain be considered analog, because quantum mechanics is definitely not analog. "Quantum" implies "discrete" and is therefore digital. So the brain is digital at the quantum scale.
It makes sense if you keep the old disks around until they kick it. You can always have 3-5 copies around in a decently readable state
Very strange. I gave this problem to GPT-3.5 and it answered `f(x)=1/x`. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13YrZLBmu7A gives the same solution. GPT-4 failed but was close. Maybe GPT-3.5 is smarter ;)

Query i used was:
```
Can you think step by step about this math problem and solve it?

Let R+ denote the set of positive real numbers. Find all functions f : R+ → R+ such that for each x ∈ R+, there is exactly one y ∈ R+ satisfying xf(y) + yf(x) <= 2.
```

Response: https://pastebin.com/sTXM9kLt

Edit: Maybe i should say Bing not GPT-4 because i asked it there.
Metrics collection so they can avoid bias, allegedly
I think you know that OP didn't suggest that we have more incompetent companies.
That's only for primaries, which traditionally were only open to members of a party.
According to the Delaware Supreme Court website https://courts.delaware.gov/aoc/operating-procedures/op-medi...

> The Presiding Judge for each Court may establish guidelines for a Judicial Officer presiding over a case to authorize, at his discretion, photographic and electronic media coverage of non-jury, non-confidential civil proceedings under Rule 2.10 (C) of the Delaware Judges Code of Judicial Conduct.

So it seems like it would be at the discretion of the presiding judge to allow it.
I see why you wouldn't be satisfied with FreeCAD then!
If engagement on the tweets of that user goes down after a change has been implemented, you can roll back the change to prevent that user from being negatively impacted.
Wait, really? Coming from Windows and macOS that boggles my mind.

What on earth are the main contributors to that file count? I can't even begin to imagine, but I'm incredibly curious now.

Also, that seems like an enormous waste of disk space. Assuming a 4 KB block size means roughly an average of 2 KB of space is wasted per file, which for 700K files would total well over a gigabyte of wasted space. Yikes.
And yet my Twitter feed was always so boring.

Reminds me of the Sirius Cybernetics Nutri-matic drinks machine.
Maybe officially. But here in the US arrests (not just convictions) are sometimes reported reported the local newspaper (“police blotter”). A search for person + town could find it.

Also there are lots of scummy private companies that collect this info for background checks. Really scummy ones will offer to remove that arrest for a fee.
And it had taken many decades to produce a workable system within this medium. With the speed of government vs the speed of development in the private sector, a temporary ban whilst they get their ducks in a row seems wise.
I now kind of want to see an HBO series like Chernobyl about this.

"Carter was ordered to Chalk River to lead a U.S. maintenance crew that joined other American and Canadian service personnel to assist in the shutdown of the reactor.[30] The painstaking process required each team member to don protective gear and be lowered individually into the reactor for 90 seconds at a time, limiting their exposure to radioactivity while they disassembled the crippled reactor. When Carter was lowered in, his job was simply to turn a single screw.[31] During and after his presidency, Carter said that his experience at Chalk River had shaped his views on atomic energy and led him to cease development of a neutron bomb.[32]"

The standards of evidence in the justice system are universally pretty weak. From suspect lineups easily manipulated by police to phrenology-level bullshit like bite mark analysis, this is why fair estimates are that up to 10% of convicted criminals are innocent. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Innocence_Project
As cars move away from traditional DIN stuff and more towards multiple screens with no physical “radio” on the dash in the classic sense… is that still an option?
Check out the graph on page 3 of this PDF: https://arxiv.org/abs/2302.13971 The 33B model started beating the 7B when it had been trained on only 1/3 as much data. And then they kept training it to 40% more than the total that 7B was trained on. It's better.
AristotleGPT: chat with Aristotle and learn from him.
Introducing AristotleGPT, a cutting-edge chatbot inspired by the eminent Ancient Greek philosopher, Aristotle. Powered by ChatGPT, this AI-driven virtual assistant is designed to answer questions and offer insights in a manner evocative of Aristotle's profound wisdom and intellectual prowess.
I’m pretty sure judge made law got us into that situation by disregarding the clear language of the 14th amendment. But leaving aside whether Brown v. Board is a good example, I accept your premise that you need philosopher kings overruling the will of the people if your goal is to protect minorities from the majority.

Protection of minorities, however, isn’t a necessary precondition to being a democracy. And in fact it requires restricting democracy. Democracy is distinct and separable from the (little “l”) liberal principles that are often packaged together with democracy in western countries: https://www.persuasion.community/p/hamid
No CarPlay is a deal breaker for me. My iPhone GPS is where all my waypoints are and operating Apple Music from the dash is convenient

Um. Well, approaching the subject delicately, it's one of the tools the system uses to maintain our "societal power hierarchy". Is that the politically correct way to say it?

Put it this way, traditionally in the US, the people who would challenge this state of affairs fall mainly within a certain group that has historically occupied the lower part of our "societal power hierarchy". Conveniently, this sort of "mistake", tends to happen to people belonging to that same group far more often than it happens to others. Which saddles that group with the problems outlined in the comment we're discussing. It also saddles them with the concomitant consequences with respect to their ability to advance in society. (Since they can get neither a good job nor a good place to live after their arrest.) That they were innocent is a nuisance to the system, not really a deterrent to the system. Certainly not a reason to change the system in the eyes of a lot of Americans.
That’s bullshit. Virtually everyone agrees poverty is a problem. Sure, the welfare state feeds the cycle of poverty, but it’s not like that was the goal.
Yes, he is the "president of West Virginia" (note the deliberate case). This is pedantic, but that's rather the point when we're talking about legal interpretations. You started this subthread off with:

> How much trouble are they going to have by using "king of England" which is not a title that Charles III has or had, or has even existed for 350 years

You're right, they shouldn't have said "king of England". That demonstrates some ignorance on their part. However "how much trouble are they going to have?" Exactly none. There is only one country in the world identified by the name "England" (the United Kingdom), and it has one King, whose reginal name is Charles III. There is absolutely no other way this statement could be interpreted, and so it presents no legal trouble, correct or not.

Likewise if you flipped it around and said "the president of West Virginia, Joe Biden". That is very clearly referring to the current President of the United States, who by extension is also President in West Virginia (as he is in the other 49 states and territories). It's not the correct title, but it's still obvious who you are referring to.

It would resolve differently if the south seceded from the union again and appointed their own president who just happened to be named Joe Biden, of course.
An undocumented change to a core system behavior that fundamentally altered how (likely) most applications behaved in an unanticipated (for the users of the system and programmers targeting the system) way. That's malpractice.
But this is exactly the problem: if there was human alignment on these issues, we would have been already on the way of tackling them. But there is not; the planet is still getting destroyed for profit, racial etc discrimination is still ongoing etc. Tackling these would require us to turn down different ethics and human rules already in place like economic liberalism, concept of copyright etc. That would class with other rights etc in place.

Human alignment is maintained through several rules and relations comprising a psychological, social and cultural complex, and even then we are witnessing continued ecological collapse, wars, corruption, social unrest etc. What is AI supposed to align with, first of all, before we even figure out the "how" (as AI does not fall in the sphere of those relations described above that affect human alignment)?
I don't think I've ever lived in a house with fossil fuel heat that worked without electricity. Hot water, sure, but not heat. Typically the thermostat itself is at least partly electrical and beyond that you need electricity to power the blower motor for forced air or a circulation pump for hot water heat.
Ive lived around the country and the driving culture varies significantly from region to region. East Coast cities are the worst, whereas I find Seattle, where I live now, very east going. Having moved from the east coast, it shocked me to see drivers just stop for pedestrians, even outside of marked off crosswalks. Try that in NY and you’re dead.

I saw the same thing in Europe, southern Italy was very chaotic roads compared to Northern Italy.
Where is the difference though seriously?
If it is for "data" I might be accessing it every other minute. If it is for backups I might be accessing it every other minute as well. I do look at my cat pictures every other second though and yes I do encrypt them before and after I do so.
The whole spiel of cold/hot storage ..
Why couldn't a 75k machine live unattended in an office? If the same office has just a hundred employee workstations, those in total are worth much more than that, heck, Apple offered a Mac Pro configuration that was $50k for a single workstation.
There are so many internal processes at Google. At least when I was there 4 years ago.
Quine seems to be an interesting project but I'm not too familiar with it. Its main feature, evaluating complex multi-way join queries on incoming streaming data, exists in the relational world as the Materialize database which leverages differential dataflow for computation.

Quine uses Cypher so expressing path queries can be done with the concise Kleene-star syntax, e.g. (p1:Person)-[:knows*]-(p2:Person).

Materalize is getting support for WITH RECURSIVE and WITH MUTUALLY RECURSIVE (their own SQL extension that fixes some issues of WITH RECURSIVE):

> compostable APL-style operators

APL-style operators have been sent to the compost heap of history for a reason.
Seems neat but this website is really terrible at explaining what the product is or why I'd want to use it. The homepage looks like a spammy blog landing page? give me a big hero image (ideally an autoplay no-audio video acting like a gif) and like, 10 words and some links to more details. Also no info on pricing?
It invalidates the arguments made in the article about how in the past people cared much more about craftsmanship based on those objects.
Tragedy of the commons. If you want to do something that benefits everyone a little bit, and you can't productize it like OpenAI's $20/month subscription, then there's no rational economic reason to do it, and you have to wait for someone like me who has an irrational love of coding. It's not a lifestyle that makes you rich, but it does help you see the opportunities to fix problems that the well-resourced folks who are supposed to be solving them would never even notice; in fact, they'd probably think you're trolling them if you ever brought it up.
You can dismiss the complaint without measurement if you are confident in two things:

1. Your system does nothing to actually segment this specific group by their identity.

2. You are confident that the systems you have set up to reward good behavior and punish bad behavior are accurate.

If both of those are true, you know that even if the group is being disproportionately negatively impacted by some form of recommendation/moderation, that it is only because that group disproportionately participates in behavior that is bad for the platform. That isn't a problem. It would actually be worse for the platform overall if you did anything to appease that group.
That extreme polarisation didn't start with the last few presidents; it's been the explicit strategy of the Republican Party to demonize the Democrats in every possible way ever since Newt Gingrich became a prominent figure in the 1980s.
Well, that's N=1. But we have seen that it's sometimes possible to bypass that kind of filter with clever prompt engineering. And because these things are black boxes, it doesn't seem possible to rigorously prove "unjailbreakability"
Exactly.

It also shows the number of impostors in this thread and inflated titles of self-proclaimed 'seniors' who can't optimize ML code to even be on the same league as Tunney (jart), and Gerganov (ggerganov).

Not even ChatGPT or Copilot could even submit a change or in-fact completely rewrite and optimize this code like they have done.
Show HN: ParallelGPT – Batch processing with ChatGPT on low-code spreadsheet UI
We made ParallelGPT - a tool that lets you bulk process chatGPT on a spreadsheet UI instead of one-by-one conversation style. Hopefully this saves you time and hassle - especially if you want to build an operational process around it and want to collaborate your team.

You can give it a quick spin on this live demo playground: https://demo.rowy.io/table/parallelGpt#sideDrawer=%22table-i...

I am the co-founder of Rowy(https://www.rowy.io), an open-source low-code platform, and we built ParallelGPT as a fun showcase of what you can do with low-code.

There are tons of exciting AI apps you can build with low-code, and we're always happy to chat about any ideas you have and assist on our Discord.
Uhm. The entire midwest is almost as cold as New England (or colder) and yet has widely installed A/C to deal with hot humid summers.

Modern (i.e. non-adobe, non-stone) construction in the higher-altitude mountain west has similar issues (without the humidity).

New England is really the exception to the rule, not the rule (it's a lovely, lovely exception though).
One thing I don't understand: If it's possible to chunk and parallelize it, is it not relatively straightforward to do these chunks sequentially on a single GPU with a roughly linear increase in runtime? Or are the parallelized computations actually interdependent and involving message-passing, making this unfeasible?
I get on ChatGPT with GPT-4:

> A house has windows on all the four sides, all pointing south. A bear walks by the window. What colour is the bear?

If a house has windows on all four sides and they all point south, this scenario is only possible at the North Pole. At the North Pole, the only bear species present are polar bears. Polar bears have a white appearance, so the bear you see would be white in color.
All modern furnaces and boilers need electricity too. The only advantage that they have is that it's a bit more possible to run them for a while on battery backup, but for three days you need a generator.
If you listen to HN, GenZ worships bicycles and public transportation and is clamoring to ban cars ASAP when the Boomers and Xers die off.

In fact I’m surprised no one has suggested banning cars on this thread yet. Someone always seems to pop up suggesting that in any thread remotely related to cars.
The phrase is "Better Broke Than Woke", we'll see how it works out for folks
Forget the constitution. Did you even read the law?

This is not for you or Google to decide.
And no, I can sync changes without having to tarball.
I might only touch one of those 5M files a week actually, depending on my structure.
> I'm not sad to see arrogant FAANG developers get cut down to size a little and learn they're not actually God's gifts to the discipline.

Where do you come to the conclusion that FAANG developers are like this?

> For over a decade, it's been automatically assumed that everyone else was a failure who just "couldn't cut it" at a FAANG.

Assumed by who?

The amount of judgment coming from your comment is rather shocking. I'll just say that it definitely doesn't reflect the perspectives of tech workers I know.

I'm sorry that you seem to find yourself in a circle that you have come to those conclusions.
That's why we're linking to reviews for now, instead of pulling them in.

One way is to summarize DPR member reviews with GPT4 and keep just the summary / score up.

Ultimately we want to make an awesome review tool on top of this data and start collecting original reviews.
Sure seen a lot more racists since he unbanned all of them to increase engagement numbers!

(YouTube completely changed their comments algorithms in the last few years and it's much better now, so you probably just didn't notice that.)
So you think something like ACLU / whatever other human rights orgs share similar view?
The concept of a 'big investment' takes on a whole new meaning when it comes to public transportation in the United States, especially considering the vast geographical expanse of many metropolitan areas. In most cases, unless one resides in the heart of a city, public transportation isn't a practical option. This is evident in the fact that a 20-minute drive can easily transform into a commute of 90 minutes or longer when relying on public transit. I truly wish there were a way for me to avoid driving and still get to my destination efficiently.
Not sure if you came up with "Make it work, then make it right, then make it fast." but I just screenshotted it and made it the mantra for my current project...which is by far more complicated than anything I have done as a side project. I am struggling with the desire to go "make it right" as I work on shipping the deployable prototype (right now running on cloud services I control)...thanks for this
I have HDDs from around 20 years ago and hardly touched in last 10 years, which are still good (able to read out without any issues, random checksum are good, but not all files validated).

But my optical backs were completely a disaster. Just a little bit over 5 years, over 50% were not able to read out, ~30% could be read but content were corrupted. There might be ~10% still good but too time consuming to check so I dumped them all. I still have optical drives but I cannot really remember when was the last time used it any more.

For SSDs, I've a couple of them left in cold for around 3 years, just checked a couple of days ago, seems to be good. I'm not sure how much longer they can hold, as there were known issues with Samsung 840 serials.
Seems like a fair cost to pump spam
unpleasant to whom, in this context?
It's so bizarre that America is the only country in the world that seems to face these kinds of problems.

As a Canadian who grew up in a household with a dozen firearms, I never once touched those firearms, and hardly ever saw them until I was taken to the range by my father and taught how to use them.
