A tool like this with a single-step mode (a UI to preview what it will do before it does it) might be nice. Ideally you could collect traces of a repetitive task and eventually turn the traces into a script that doesn't need the LLM, and therefore isn't so expensive to run.

While integrating with OpenAI is just an API call away I don't think it takes away from the user experience. Sure its less of a moat but plenty of products have won by having the best user experience and not many new features (Notion, Digital Ocean, etc.)

Not every experience is going to be best suited to fit in a chat box like ChatGPT which opens the door for startups like this one to build something new.

I'm excited when I see products like this, and I think we really need to retire the critique of "Its just an API call to OpenAI". While yes that is a core part of it, there is a lot of time and effort that goes into developing these experiences that has value

Tabloid – The Clickbait Headline Programming Language
ARM, which is decidedly considered RISC, has STM/LDM.

It also uses microcode and Ken has not surprisingly written about it too: http://www.righto.com/2016/02/reverse-engineering-arm1-proce...
it was brilliant - fast and very stable.
Do you use it regularly? I don't, and I don't have any problem finding what I need with regular ctrl+F in Nim, because Nim projects are internally consistent in terms of style, with the compiler helping enforcing it with `-styleCheck`.

So don't bring up nimgrep like it's a necessity when it's more of a last resort tool nowadays. You will be just attracting flaming.

Oh that was fantastic, thanks. It's not often I have reason to listen to organ music. Almost makes one want to purchase an organ.

I don't care for the 12 études d'interprétation, but neither do I care for Rachmaninoff's Études-Tableux. I find both to be too pedagogical. Which makes no sense; according to Wikipedia they're meant to be "picture pieces". So I haven't always put much stock in études.

The case for banning children from social media
I just think it's another example of failing to advance a feature that has stayed bare-bones for decades for no good reason. All major operating systems treat clipboards as a single "register": one location, you copy/cut to it and paste from it.

If I was the head honcho of macOS I would have a whole team dedicated to just this feature alone. A simple first step would be "clipboard history", where each time you cut/paste it replaces the contents of the register but you can see previous entries. This is what most third party tools do and is what I use on macOS.

But it could be so much more than that too. Clipboard should be a whole application you can launch with a catalog of all of the stuff you've copied to it. Images in one location, code snippets in another, text. From there you should be able to send it to other places for storage: send image to photos, send text to a file somewhere / notes app.
ME was all the features that eventually went into XP but still based on the Windows 98 kernel instead of NT.

What made XP great was how reliable it was compared to previous Windows versions.
I was surprised to find out people in the UK use tabloid to refer to real news publishers (albeit more dumbed down than Financial Times or the like), and not just the supermarket tabloids in the US that talk about aliens or fake celebrity gossip.
South Australia (my home state) just announced that our main steel plant will be switching to methane and hydrogen instead of coal. The plan is eventually to switch to almost 100% green hydrogen.

That is a really weird catch- actually now that I look at it, this looks like some sort of PowerPoint to HTML export.

I’d bet money that’s what it is now.
On that note, is there some site where I can host regular html, JavaScript etc but I don't write the code locally but on some web ide? I'd like to say, save my file and see the change pop up on my public domain instantly after a refresh. I don't want to worry about hooking up ssh or rsync tunneling or any file uploads. All files and code should be directly edited through the web ide and live on the remote server.
I wish I could go to home depot and buy giant t-slot extrusion kits (like 80/20) and just build the heck out of things.

I can't imagine how anyone thinks that HN has a left bias, I've seen open transphobia that doesn't so much as get flagged, when doing it on even centrist platforms would earn you a permaban.
It's because business skills are mostly learn-by-doing skills. No matter how many books you read about bicycle riding techniques, you're not going to ever be able to do it unless you've actually given it a try and scuffed your knees a bit.

Not all skills are like this, of course - you probably want your doctors and scientists to be people who actually read the textbooks and paid attention to their professors.
> LPs might give you 3,4,5 songs per side, but you still would have to get up and flip it or find another LP.

There are actually some record players that can play a stack of records at a time. That's why some double-disc records are pressed as ADBC instead of ABCD - the player will play the front side of each, then flip, then play the back side.

They're pretty expensive, though. It made more sense when vinyl was the predominant media format.

> If you really enjoy that manual switching out, then i'd suggest just taking the next step and being a DJ constantly mixing track to track.

Funny enough, I actually do spin vinyl, and this is my least favorite part of listening to records. I guess they occupy different modes in my brain. If I'm actually trying to mix, swapping out is part of the fun. But if I'm trying to sit back and listen, getting up from the couch is an annoyance.

Thank you.

For person trying to learn circuit theory and logic design, would you recommend a resource that can be followed along?

Also, any recommendation for kids? I think this area can be explored by kids in the same way programming.
Doubtful. 42- and 48-pin dips same width as 40-pin were a thing around that time or not much later.

We are building debuggers (really more like disassemblers) and we are reverse engineering LLMs. There is no fundamental difficulty, but it takes time.

For example, one layer transformer eventually learns to do modular addition completely correctly. Looking at weights, it does so by doing rotation on unit circle. For a + b = c mod p, probability of c is proportional to cos((a+b-c) 2π/p), which works because cosine is maximized when the argument is multiple of 2π. As you can see, there is no fundamental difficulty, but it is also not trivial.

>Specifically they rise until the poor folks must work at a low wage to survive again.

What are you basing this conclusion on? If what you say is true, minimum wage increases would be worthless as they would just be swallowed by inflation. However, studies on the topic show this isn't true. Minimum wage increases have a negligible impact on inflation. This should be obvious because minimum wage positions do not make up the entirety of the labor market and the labor costs do not make up the entirety of business costs. So why would all prices increase in pace with the minimum wage?

>The point remains that it’s harder to find cheap employees. So the cost of labor goes up. So prices rise. Specifically they rise until the poor folks must work at a low wage to survive again.

I didn't say there would be no inflation. I said inflation would be progressive in that it wouldn't have much of an impact on stables in which demand is inelastic and working class people spend a relatively higher percentage of their income.
I would also love to see the comparison when you account for secondary health effects like obesity and pollution

Windows NT 4.0's problems with gaming have everything to do with only supporting DirectX up to version 3.0a.

Yes, you read that right: DirectX 3.0a.

Windows 2000 by contrast supported DirectX all the way through DirectX 9.0c, same as Windows XP, 98, and ME.

This is why Windows 2000 could run games properly.
Your Nim project will be in a consistent casing, otherwise the compiler will be warning you about inconsistent spelling. Regular Ctrl-shift-f will work just fine.
Remote loading of code has been banned by Google and Mozilla for several years now. The automated review tools pick up script injection and eval() calls. Unless you can craft something unique, you’re not going to get past the automated review.

> What is guiding its decisions?

That’s will be the most important part of AGI design.

The ultimate goal of all AGI in existing should be “to be of service to (specific) human(s)”.

It’s crucial that we do not create entities that will compete with us for resources.

You do not what to create “another human”, you will want to create “a willing slave” with the agreeableness of a puppy and the “heart” of a saint.
That.. sounds like you have a bag of old-school RPG tricks? I wish you did. Thanks for this one.
Norman-Arab-Byzantine Culture
A judge would likely decide that, sure. After you've engaged $$$ representation and wasted months of your time defending it.
Yes. But then it’s no longer an LLM. And it still runs into the issues of taste and preference which would have to be included in its training set. At some point we’re no longer talking about AIs, but androids that are built to simulate the complete range of human experiences.

And this was Searle’s original argument. You can’t build intelligence by building strictly symbolic machines (computers). You have to endow them with semantic content by some other means.
thanks. Let me know if there any feedback.
Semi related, hashing can also improve algorithms that need to evenly distribute load without actually needing any load balancer (provided on average the work per request is roughly equal). Kind of random since good hash algorithms are non reversible and distribute the bits evenly across the space.

The enhanced 6502 derivative in the PC Engine/TurboGrafx 16 games console of the early 90's was enhanced with block move instructions (MVI, MVN?) that worked similarly I think. (Hu62C80 or similar was the CPU name...)
Indeed! You may reasonably regard this to be a bug or a feature.
Appreciate the feedback on pricing! Will keep this mind as I imagine we'll offer a wider range of options in the future.
Regarding the last part, I would encourage you to look into ZK Proofs in blockchain, Merkle Trees and sharing private data on the blockchain. That may possibly change your mind on the idea of publishing private health data to a public blockchain.

I have a friend who quit a big consulting job to do her own startup. Someone once asked her how she deals with being a woman in tech and the risk of failure as a wife.

Her answer: "What risk? I'm an Asian woman. My husband gives me money."

It's a joke, but I think there's some truth to that. The security net is what helps them the most.

Also while I was a founder, I used to look for cofounders because apparently the stats tell you that you need one to survive. But most of those stats are from unmarried 20 year olds. Cofounders, even dead weight ones, are useful for bouncing ideas and giving moral support. With marriage, you get a free cofounder who you're going to share all the profits with anyway.
Please detail the ingredients of the hype juice you’re drinking. I think there’s something that causes hallucinations in there if you think that.
Microsoft has often also been held back on improving APIs because they are so committed to backward compat.
Nobody is asking you to switch over to bicycles exclusively, they are just saying that it would be nice if there was better non car infrastructure.

That way, there will be less traffic for people like you who choose to live in a way where a car is necessary, and more options for others who don’t want to travel in traffic with cars.
Dr. Mario on the ancient gameboy still runs without issue. Sure, it's a bit dated... but the hardware and the software for it are static.

A mobile Dr. Mario might only work until the next OS release. Spending $30 on something that may break in a few months is either going to be more costly to the company that created it (now having to do updates to it without any new revenue to support those updates) or brand damaging.

Nintendo is reasonably conscious about avoiding brand damaging things.

As an AI language model, I cannot make changes to the website or its features. However, I can suggest that you reach out to the website's administrators and suggest this idea to them.

Additionally, you can consider subscribing to specific subreddits or forums related to GPT and AI to receive updates on these topics.
You’re making the almost certainly false assumption that Jack Daniels doesn’t have a long history of publishing printed material with this design that well predates this author, including books.
SMRs 1) don't exist 2) aren't affordable even if you believe that projected costs will not increase in opposition to hundreds of prior cases where they did 3) still need a giant containment building which is going to involve knocking down most of your coal plant or routing steam awkwardly (losing heat and increasing costs) and 4) produce lower temperature steam at lower head than a coal burner so there's no evidence they'll even work properly without replacing or massively retrofitting the few remaining components.

Using them as thermal batteries might work though.

No need to keep them on for any of the above. Just mothball them. This does nicely reveal the actual goal of all the nuclear "advocacy" though.
Remove the tools by passing narrower laws.
Also the fact that compilers didn't emit most of the more complex/specialized instructions led to Intel not spending much effort on optimizing those.

I believe some compilers will still emit rep movs for memcpy, rep stos for memset, rep cmps for memcmp, and sometimes even rep scas for memchr/strlen if given the appropriate options.
Forests do take their time but I think he is speaking about European countries killing fission plants after Fukushima.
I hear this claimed a lot. They removed it from their motto, but have retained it in their code of conduct, according to Wikipedia[1], and Alphabet has also adopted a similar motto.

You can also buy Raspberry Pi cameras in the "NoIR" version that comes without the short pass filter, or do an easy DIY conversion in the case of the RPi HQ camera.
Writing Advice
People argue all sorts of things here. People argue that building large specs so as to get approval of the grand poobahs to fund the project to build the thing is creating value. But the easy rule of thumb is "If you do more X, does a customer receive more value?"

Another way to look at it: If I put the customer at the bottom of a well and the only way to communicate is by cranking notes up and down in a bucket, does turning the crank constitute a value increase? Mainly I think it's focusing on the wrong thing. Why is the customer in the well? Maybe we should let them out. Maybe if we have a question about how they work or what's good for them, we should visit them and study them as they work and then maybe ask them a question or two. And then, most importantly, ship something and see if it really does make things better.

So no, even in that narrow and unfortunate case, that is not creating value. It is at best necessary waste. Building the thing and giving to them, if it turns out to be valuable, is creating value (probably with some waste mixed in). The fact that communication is through a constrained and stilted channel is just a sign there's pure waste in the necessary waste that we can try to remove.
Malicious no, suspicious yes. There likely were parts of the world a century ago without accurate records. It also appears that supercentenarians are concentrated in places that didn't keep accurate birth records around the time they were born.

There have been people who attempted to adopt the diets of the "blue zones" where many supercentenarians have lived, but maybe in our search for long life we should have been adopting regional poverty, low incomes, and dodgy record-keeping!

(Spoiler: it's really pretty explicitly a parable about AI )
Spikes occur at various timescales. There are seasonal spikes (due to heating/AC), daily spikes (more power in morning and evening), and spikes on the millisecond to minute level due to random chance. Nuclear can't deal with the short spikes, and while it can deal with the long spikes, it's not efficient to do so since roughly 100% of the costs of nuclear are initial construction and personnel so running at reduced power levels doesn't save any cost.

Batteries already exist that handle demand spikes on the shorter timescales (e.g. in Australia). and hydro is currently the best for medium timescale storage (that said there's a bunch of R&D currently into better grid batteries since they have very different performance requirements than portable batteries since weight and volume don't matter, just cost and cycles).

Nuclear is pretty much the worst tech to overbuild because it's already expensive and it's price per kwh goes way up if you use it infrequently.
Flame war prevention mechanism I believe I've heard mentioned a few times. It's possible it might also stop derailing the original topic subject as well.
I did not use NT at home, but I occasionally used it at school. For me at that time, the ability to play games had been as strong a requirement as the ability to be stable and run word processing, email clients and VC++. So I would use Win95 and curse its (in)stability and reboot several times per day, but not switch to NT. Also, NT cost an arm and a leg for a student.

Win2k was a huge improvement in every respect. My 2c.
May I recommend looking into flyte.org, it is open source kubernetes native "orchestration" style tool, but essentially and infrastructure component that is geared to making your ML Engineers and Data scientists more productive.
I think iteration velocity, dynamic infrastructure management and trackability are really important and fundamentally different needs of such products.

PS. I am a maintainer at flyte.org (thoughts are my own)
The issue is that while the debates are happening, the products are being built out at an incredibly fast pace. By the time the debates are settled, the technology will already be mainstream.

T-Mobile's you absolutely can disable, but I would have never ever thought to look there until I read this.

I switched off Auto-join on both "t-mobile" and "TMobileWingman", but I couldn't hit the "Done" text-but-its-really-a-button in the upper right until I made some change to the normal known networks list, so I deleted a couple that I didn't remember or recognize. YMMV.

Windows XP on it's own, behind Windows Firewall and a router firewall not doing anything too controversial may be fine. Where the risks become higher is when you have many machines across the network. That one host would lower the overall security of everything else around limiting the ability to disable weak protocols.

Backwards compatibility with Windows/AD has always caused issues with Active Directory becoming such a juicy target in the way system-to-systems interacted.
