> Are you a shrink now?

No, and I don't need to be. It's obvious. As is the way you are distorting everything else in your reply here.

Besides, the irony and hypocrisy of you saying things like

> I just think your worldview is informed by a hyperbolic narrative than actual facts.

When you asked if I was a shrink for simply observing how (very obviously) your comments were coming from an emotional rather than a rational place.

It's clear you are not engaging in good faith but just being defensive, and I have no time for such one-sided discussions. In fact, all of your replies seem downright petty, like you're throwing rocks at me because you don't like what I said, rather than you're interested in having a civil debate.

I'm sure you'll reply again, however I have no interest in replying further, because it clearly isn't a good faith discussion interested in objective facts and truths - anything critical of India is just going to be dismissed, denied or whataboutismed - that's if my reply isn't just mass flagged out of spite to start with.

Best of luck to you.
I am the authority of what counts as an artform of its own — to myself. I mean I also have a MA in arts, so I know about art forms, but I didn't attempt to represent an authority here. So I am sorry if you perceived I was acting as an "authority" when in fect I was speaking a out my very own perspective and nothing more.
I didn’t know about these. Thanks for the links and explanation.
That's like saying: "I don't care what the standard says!"

Sure, this is perfectly fine.

Only that you're not writing any C/C++ than, but something in the "gcc 12 language with some switches", or maybe the "LLVM 15 language with some switches", or something like that.
People want to keep drawing comparisons to the US, which obviously has a ton of issues, (and FWIW I'm not even from the US), but I absolutey think those issues should be addressed as a priorty as well. But as I said originally, there is a difference in degree between the extent and type of problems facing the two countries, and dare I say one set is more severe than the other.

> India, poor as it may be, has brought some wonders into the world of science, particularly space missions, at times launching missions that achieve similar results with orders of magnitude lower costs with truly innovative ways.

I would never doubt that or claim otherwise.

> Please don’t categorise people, science and innovation based on where it comes from.

What comment did I make that indicates that is what I am doing? I don't, and would not do that.
AI needn't even try to escape, the clueless humans will plug it into reallity by themselves.

Given this totally expected attitude I hope that the base models will never be released to the general population.
This is coming from an increasingly right wing, nationalist, Italian government. This is the type of government that will disqualify a person or way of thinking just because of where it comes from, and this type of xenophobia is kinda dangerous. Plus, the emphasis on "correct use of the Italian language and its pronunciation" also seems to discriminate against people who speak southern dialects.

After all, Tu vuò fà l'americano is merely satire. https://youtu.be/BqlJwMFtMCs
Just in time for summer demand, hopefully enough to further destabilize Russia’s economy
Wow. What a profound memory. Thank you for sharing.
There’s not much science for the ultramarathon folks, but in general more is better. This talk of negative consequences of too much exercise has no grounding in reality.
I haven't gone there since I was a child; I'm 40 and live in another state now. I understand that they have a web site - maybe they have that info there!
We buy milk from local dairies in returnable glass bottles (available from some area supermarkets, it's not like we're going to the farm). The deposit is, indeed, $1-$2 (depending on the dairy and size of the bottle).

You can bet your ass we return them.
Then who bought the eggs?

One thing I love about the company I'm currently at is that pretty much every eng manager does some level of IC work. Meaning they all have some pulse on the codebase beyond higher level planning.
fantastic feedback, thank you so much for all your input AlexITC!! regarding the potential issues you noted:

1. developers get assigned by the maintainers/core-team so there is no duplication of effort, there are never multiple developers working on the same bounty. if there's no progress from the assignee, maintainers / other developers would check in and the issue would get reassigned, there is self-regulation. that being said, standardizing this process through a 'locking mechanism' is an interesting idea, we will think it through - thanks!

2. the sliding-scale fee model you are suggesting is an interesting idea, we'll think it through! if companies try bounties, are satisfied and would like to commit to a bounties budget, at the moment we offer the option to pre-pay fees at a discount. there's definitely room for experimentation here, thanks for your note!

3. great point, at the moment you'd evaluate people by looking at their github profiles and whether they've contributed to your project before (or other projects in your ecosystem). there's definitely room to improve that 'selection' process for maintainers. once again great point!
Wait for somebody mixing the concepts of "virus" and "AI". And we better begin to prepare some kind of AI sentinels because the question is not "if", but "when".
This is covered in the article and numerous replies in this thread. Use <stdckdint.h>.
Neural nets got started precisely as an attempt to understand the brain. ChatGPT is the very fruit of trying to do what your roommate talked about.

Also, who says that aging and dying are not nature’s high level backpropagation? You’re one neuron, and it’s time to be > 0 is finite.

Besides, aren’t cancer cells trying to do the same thing you want to do? Live forever, with no regard for their place in the whole?
Just about every restriction using cgroups/namespaces can be applied in systemd units. Many of the services in NixOS have been hardened through systemd, and there's an ongoing effort to harden all of them.
For the sake of discussion, let me ask you why you prefer to employ people in one country over another. The Chinese company is also employing people.

Presumably, the Chinese employees are not paid or treated well. But that is not a given. Nor is it a given that the Italian employees are paid or treated well.

How about we bar the sale of any product domestically unless its manufacture has been certified to conform with local regulations regarding labor, environmental protections, etc.? Thus, a U.S. company would have to pay to get certified before they could sell in Italy. And they would have to pay for surprise inspections, etc. to assure compliance. An Italian company would also have to be certified and subject to surprise inspections, but might not have to pay for those directly if Italian taxpayers are willing to cover the costs. For that matter, they may also choose to cover the costs for Chinese manufacturers.

If you are objecting to the unfairness of having to compete under different rules, let's address that. If the complaint is that one party pays for the R&D while another party reaps the profit, let's address that. These are not the same issue. If the complaint is that people prefer to pay less for an inferior product, that is also a different issue.
In South America, thanks to Netflix we have far more European content than before. Still less than from US but at least it's there to chose.
It's been almost 30 years. Why not name X?
Where's the pricing? I can't see it, do I have to sign up?
I'm British, and I'm still sore about this one, even though that "recommendation" was before I was born. The long scale is the right one, darnit. Just because the government says otherwise doesn't make it so.

The best thing I can offer is that the word "billion" and greater should be regarded as cursed, ambiguous, and shouldn't be used any more.
I'm confused. This seems to just refer to XUL layout and not XUL as a whole, but this entire thread is discussing it like XUL as a whole is completely gone. Am I missing something?
> Maybe instead of accusing someone of racism

@philonoist did that right out the gate in this article with no evidence or support. It's their goto thing.
As long as AI is available to general public, I can guarantee you that there are hundreds of developers trying to let GPT to take over the world by providing it all the APIs it asks for.

I'd work on it myself if I would knew enough about it and would have enough free time.

Asking millions of humans to be responsible is asking water to be dry.

It should either be regulated to hell or we should accept that it'll escape if it's even possible with current technology.
Is one difference in the analogy that individual humans have independent agency and do concrete things in the world, where particles don't have agency, and don't really 'do' actions in a sense that is meaningful outside of the system they're in?

I guess by questioning the analogy I get back to my point. Things don't happen in history because of (truly) random behaviours converging on some emergent effect, like in a system of particles. They happen because specific unique (wrt the system) individuals make decidedly non-random decisons to affect reality on purpose (even if cause and effect are not that predictable it still holds that the actions are purposeful and do affect reality) in some way.
Cost of goods sold only sets a minimum price.

If there are fewer eggs, then there are fewer eggs. The only thing left to discuss is who has the right to obtain them, and who will not. Usually, society accepts that people with more money get more access to things than people with less money.
No offense to you but I think you're really miss reading here and/or looking to interpret something that was meant to illustrate a point rather than be outright deliberately condescending which appears to be how you wish to interpret it.
For future reference, Imran Bashir's "Mastering Blockchain" seems serviceable. I'm persuaded by its comprehensiveness, as well as it listing actual downsides.
> The US is basically our common cultural base now

This is wishful thinking. People pay a lot of attention to the US due to its cultural output and importance in geo-politics but when they open the door they still pay attention to their own locality which has its own context.

> At least 4 of those issues are american , not european.

I'm sorry, how are those issues not European? Do you think Europeans aren't human or something? They're social issues and its harmful to think the US has any sort of monopoly on them. I could easily pull concrete examples where those issues are relevant to European events that I might suggest you are unaware of.

> While these are interesting issues, they are nowhere near the top of the mind of average european.

I would argue that for an average European elector, privacy is a much greater expectation than it is for an American.
Remind her that she remains in much better shape than you because of it. She even retains the mental sharpness to try to call you out on it.

Once she's spent a decade behind a desk, the mere thought of doing anything will sound exhausting to her too. It's unnatural and physically deconditioning. The mind being the only "muscle" you exercise makes its unavailability doubly crippling...it's what gives your physical half its marching orders.

She may be dead on her feet at day's end, but if she saw a car coming at her she'd find the adrenaline to respond and move. Myself, I'd struggle to move past "is that really a car driving down the sidewalk? But cars are supposed to drive on the stre--".
Yeah, that's incredibly high.
Russia will get more money due to this decision.
For other readers, about 8km.
I've done some of that, but I actually only work on my desk in my designated room now - I find I can concentrate much better when there are no distractions. But you're absolutely right, for those roles where work essentially only requires a laptop and your brain, it home is where your brain and laptop are.
Different strokes for different folks. Most of my friends are people I met at work, and I have 10x as much fun in person.

My preference is for office work with like minded individuals, so I am fine with the current push to fire remote workers. They can find a different company with a culture they prefer.

Live and let live.
America subsidizes affluence through central bank interventions. When it buys trillions of dollars of assets, like MBS, bonds, and indexes, guess what, asset prices go up, benefiting asset holders — the rich.

How about a “first, do no harm” discussion about the ways government actively benefits the rich, through the Cantillon effect and regulatory capture, instead of always focusing on confiscatory redistribution.
The orbital tanker would likely come back, no? Just like the ships ferrying up the fuel to it. Once it's moved the fuel to the lunar ship, there's no reason to splash it in the ocean if SpaceX is already capable of landing Starships.
It is revealed to be one at the end of the article.
According to Agent Smith, virus + intelligence = humanity.
If I recall correctly and shuttling instructions around fast enough is the main bottleneck right now, why do people want to return to RISC?
And those who figure it out and still won't benefit, because bigger entites do what bigger entites always did when technological promises loomed at the horizon.
> But also get rid of the car which could hold these things for you.

You don't need 2 tonnes of metal and 100+hp to carry "your own reusable bags"
Oh god. That might be me. But then I’ve always felt all of these things as long as I remembered.
Would have checked it out. But that last sentence just sounded like the worst clickbait headline.
It was more interesting in the sense of “May you live in interesting times.”

I don’t miss low level programming in a work context at all.
This isn’t new information. The standard of 3 MET exercise for 2.5-5 hours a week (16k steps at 2.5 mph is in the middle of that range) has been around for a while. It’s in multiple country’s exercise guidelines, which is about as formal as you can get.

Comprehensive literature review has established that 2.5 hours a week at 3 MET reduces your risk of death by cardiovascular event by 70%, and there’s plenty of evidence for other benefits. The more you spread out the exercise the better.
> It still makes you racist.

No it doesn't. It just makes you incredibly insecure.

It's not more complicated than that.
Sure, but the RVB is dual core, not quad, and 1.2 GHz not 2.0 GHz.
Yeah maybe there is that possibility, but there is the possibility of a person doing that too. GPT-4 is probably less probably to be able to do that than a person.
Just because a plurality or even majority of people aren't doing it doesn't mean it doesn't happen. As I've stated, I'm recounting these scenarios from my experience which isn't vast but it tracks in every state/city I have lived in (and I have lived in several).

It's a miserable living experience for their children. Welfare queens do exist even if they don't look like the media portrays them.

As I stated, I'm not against social programs, but I think there's substantial waste and program goals need to be realigned. It needs to be reimagined, and not from ivory towers like the techno-elite that gathers here on HN.
And maybe some profit sharing too.
That's fine for serious business endeavours, but absolutely kills one-man-band experimentation at the margin, which is the only interesting bit in the first place.
I don't remember Mr. Smith mentioning anything about intelligence :-)

Google certainly moves accounts between countries automatically: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27560705

At least according to that they won't ask you to accept new ToS, probably due to the fact ToS allows them to change ToS at will.
It's cheap and convenient, the negative effects are seen decades later when the execs already cashed out
I'm not really sure why we are assuming that these language models ever can have any form of intelligence?

To me, this is just like saying "we don't know if the latest CPU released by intel will enable Linux to become intelligent"
well yeah lol. giving LLMs "do whatever you want and run forever" agency while interacting with other systems is all things considered pretty easy. so it'll definitely be done.
https://prose.sh employs this tactic. You control all the source files and then upload them to use. You get to keep all your content and you are welcome to host your site elsewhere.
Contracts absolutely can be legal or illegal. Binding/unbinding contracts are a related but separate concept.

A legal contract is a contract whose terms do not violate the law or public policy and whose terms are enforceable. A binding contract is legal contract that has been signed by all parties involved. It is perfectly valid to question whether a contract is legal or illegal, regardless of whether that contract is binding.
The content isn't obvious to them because they operate in a different context than you.

Managerialist culture is founded on the notion that workers must be supervised and controlled. That the important thinking should be done by people in the managerial class. In that context, the experiences of non-managers is always secondary, because workers must be coerced via carrots and sticks to do things they are not smart/wise/good enough to see on their own.

A great example here is the ubiquitous status meeting. Everybody troops into a conference room for an hour and takes turns saying things to the boss while everybody else's eyes glaze over. This lets the boss feel powerful and important, but it's a giant waste of time. The POSIWID conclusion is that organizational effectiveness is very much secondary to reinforcing the dominance hierarchy.

For somebody adapted to that world, treating the time of minions as truly important -- by which I mean more important than the passing feelings of the powerful -- is radical. Even though that's something blatantly obvious to makers and others who do direct work.
thank you so much Marc!! super excited to have IHP on Algora, we love how the project streamlines web development in Haskell and helps new developers get started, really appreciate working together!
This is a thoughtful reply but I found saying

"I believe Prusa has succeeded because of its community, not because of its printers."

a bit harsh. If they hadn't made good printers there would be that community in the first place.
Yeah, this strikes me as the end goal that Google, Bing, etc. are working towards and envisioning. Why redirect users elsewhere when we can just lock them into our AI-generated "search engine"? "Reveal original source URL(s)" will become a paid feature :)
Just opening it up to the public gives the AI that many vectors of action in the real world - us.
I walk ~ 9k steps every day, 20k during weekends. Besides the physical side, it does wonders for the mental state.
It's the driest country I've been to in a while, many villages had their water access completely destroyed due to upstream dams.

Completely destroyed, or just no longer enough to support wasteful methods of irrigation? It's been over a decade since I was in SE Asia, but my impression was that they relied heavily on flooding fields for irrigation.
ChatGPT Explains Epigrams on Programming
Should we regulate everything you don't "[know] enough about it and would have enough free time. [to learn about it?]"

Isn't it silly to jump to these conclusions when yourself are admitting you really don't know anything about the tech?
Worried Recent Grad
I graduated last year and had to take a break due to mental health - I did very well, I finished my masters at the top of the class (and was offered a job, which I had to decline).

Since then we've obviously seen the hype around ChatGPT explode, including using it for code. I use it to help me with personal projects for my portfolio (though sometimes it's been unhelpful), as well as refreshers on various concepts and fundamentals.

I want to start my software dev career but feel paralysed by uncertainty. I've started to get calls from recruiters, emails about entry level roles, but I'm anxious that 6 months from now I'll find myself turfed out with no way into industry - which has a knock on of killing my motivation to do anything.

How do I get over this? It's hard to get a real sense of the industry feeling - honestly, am I wasting my time?
No? Conformance allows unspecified and implementation defined. Strict conformance is the absence of that (i.e. same output in every conforming environment). Neither includes UB, as UB is "outside the standard" in some sense and doesn't have defined semantics.

This will cause inflation rates in the West to increase (double?) - leading to higher interest rates, economical stagnation, layoffs, more poverty, etc.

Use of language does not necessarily result in entirely changing the culture. Take South East Asia for example where they simply have their own spin on the English language. I fear that what the Anglosphere sees in this case is what it wants to see, its own victory, where in practice the actual outcome is more complex and doesn't necessarily result (in the long term) to the expectation.
