Sadly, another baseless assumption. I just downloaded sqlite java driver from https://github.com/xerial/sqlite-jdbc/. And compiled their sample program on the home page (creates db with table and some rows) to native code. I did all this within ~2min after reading your response.

Its very, very hip nowadays to worship Rust/Go and bash Java and gain HN karma from the younger generation while doing so, but at-least do it on real facts and not assumptions.

I cannot imagine a business using Google at this point. I'm not saying Google is not customer focused, they actually appear to show actual hostility. It's amazing people still think it's a good idea to keep critical stuff on Google infrastructure.
The fact that San Francisco does not have the population density of Manhattan is a testament to the impact of NIMBYISM.
I refuse to believe that Sam doesn't have equity in OpenAI. It must be some 4D-chess-style ownership structure, which I'm guessing is for tax avoidance.
I think there's a programmed gut reaction to "unions" above and beyond any rational or cynical self-interest. It's endemic in American culture and especially American business culture.
What structure do you use if you wanted to check the accuracy of an older prompt with an updated or extended data set?
Let it. The city is governed by incompetent leaders and the voters need to stop re-electing the same awful supervisors. Until that happens, I see no reason to bail them out.
Did Cochrane sacrifice its researchers to appease critics?
You can still trust what you can see with your own two eyes. You can't trust videos or photos of things. Computer image/video editors (e.g. Photoshop, AfterEffects) have made photos & videos untrustworthy for years if a skilled editor made the modifications, and before that some darkroom tricks could do a reasonable job. The new AIs make it cheaper & easier to fake photos and videos.
I like this explanation.
Lot’s of multitasking, over consumptions of information and procrastination on my side.

Sam or Elon?

I'll assume you meant Sam. IMO Sam is mostly just shy and cerebral, but to many people that will come off as awkward and robotic.

Watch his recent Lex Fridman interview. Personally I thought it was great, but I'm aware enough to realize that (sadly) many low-knowledge people will judge such demeanor harshly.

Mark my words: the media will, 10 times out of 10, exploit that misconception, not correct it. "Ye knew my nature when you let me climb upon your back..."
I'm a fan of OpenAI, but this is nonsense. All of human existence is mostly other people's ideas. Among a ridiculously huge list of other things, OpenAI benefits from the mountains of labor that made scalable neural networks possible.

Have they had their own good ideas? Definitely.
Are they benefitting of ideas mostly invented elsewhere? Also Definitely, just like everybody else.
> if GPT5 is nearly as advertised, watch the govt swoop in under national security guise

Re: GPT5, are there any .. reasonable/credible sources of information on the subject? I've become deaf from all the speculation and while i am very curious, i'm unsure if anything substantiated has actually come out. Especially when considering speculation from Sam himself.
Curious: Why focus on wealthfront for expats? Why not simply a wealthfront for India?

I lived in India until 2014—all the SIPs were shitty and ran old school software and UI. Maybe things have changed now, but 98% of India does not do any active investments other than Fixed and savings deposits.
You’re certainly right. More provocatively, raising children on a plantation worked by slaves doesn’t make them abolitionists either. It might even effectively indoctrinate them against it since they can say how well they treated and how much respect they had for the slaves.

Being raised within something can put you at a worse position to scrutinize it.
Now that’s austere. I usually at least had some bologna I could slap in there.
You’ll get some clues when you watch his recent interview with Alex Fridman https://youtu.be/L_Guz73e6fw
>If the AI "takes over", as in it's a fully sentient agent, then claiming humans will be unemployed isn't technological unemployment but rather is the lump of labor fallacy

This claim was never made. The only claim I made is that you can't claim AI increases jobs. My opinion of it is that the situation is so unpredictable that people should prepare for both scenarios.

>That's because the AIs are just more people.

And unconvincing. If agi replaces labor it will be constructed with a singular incentive to serve it's master as the primary directive. It can be a an economy of slave labor replacing us. The situation is too untenable to just rely on your own hypothetical. Other scenarios like mine must be considered.

>which doesn't substitute for labor and in practice increases employment by making labor more productive.

Again over reliance on data. Your argument doesn't counter my claim. It's just regurgitation your original claim.

>Remember, the real world actually exists, and logic problems don't, which means logic problems are free to be incorrect because nothing is requiring them to exist in possible worlds.

So according to that logic we should make millions of atomic weapons and distribute it for free to everyone? No.

Data only tells a story for specific scenarios and can function as a rough predictor for hypothetical scenarios.

To refine predictions of hypothetical scenarios you need data AND logic. Blind application of data to all hypothetical scenarios is wrong.

Remember the real world only exists in the past. A huge portion of the world is an unrealized quantum uncertainty in the future. Navigating the future involves using data from the past as well as logic.

Your argument suffers mostly from being too specific. It doesn't address the fuzziness of the future and the fuzziness of the evidence/logic. You anticipate one thing playing out and you plan for that but realistically a good prediction and plan is one involving a multitude of likely scenarios.

Very many dishes in nearly every cuisine have at least some foreign origins. The majority of spices and seasonings used in most countries originate from many places all over the world.

The idea of any pure culture (locally, ethnically, linguistically, or culinarily) is a complete myth, unless that culture has been entirely isolated from every other culture for its entire development.
A smart 14 year old can often out-think adults in my experience, because adults are weighed down by 'adult' content like power relationship between the speakers, social appropriateness, real or imagined legal obligations, yesterday's news, thirst for alcohol and triple-X sex, you know "everyday stuff" whereas the 14 year old is relatively unburdened by all that baggage. What a 14 year old lacks is 14 years of reading on a subject, of course, or previous training. YMMV
Text2Fart – Toward Conditioned Audio Synthesis for Novel Flatulence
So your opinion seems to be that investigations can never be political? Keep in mind that Trump is being indicted for a misdemeanor that they are contorting into a felony to avoid statute of limitations issue. I think everyone has to make up their own mind when an investigation is political and imho this one is comically so. So much so that i really struggle to see how any one can in good faith claim otherwise
Really impressive work, Collin!

One quick suggestion is on the domain name. I know it's hard to find available domains these days, but you might consider "coursemate.chat" or "coursemates.io" (both currently available) or another of the new top level domain extensions. I think it would create a better first impression than your current "coursem8.com".

Best of luck with the project and congrats on the launch!
I wonder if you could create a block-level virtual filesystem backed by Google Drive so that you could store many small logical files in one physical remote "block" (file).
When I compare the two Elon was (lucky?) to at least have a string of vision-fueled ventures that became a thing. What is Sam's history of visions? Loopt? Is Y Combinator considered in a new golden era after he took over? Did Worldcoin make any sense at all?

I'm honestly hoping I'm entirely ignorant of his substance and would feel better if someone here can explain there's more to him than that… I would feel better knowing that what could be history's most disruptive tech is being led by someone with some vision for it, beyond the apocalypse that he described in 2016 that he tries not to think about too much:

"The other most popular scenarios would be A.I. that attacks us and nations fighting with nukes over scarce resources.” The Shypmates looked grave. “I try not to think about it too much,” Altman said. “But I have guns, gold, potassium iodide, antibiotics, batteries, water, gas masks from the Israeli Defense Force, and a big patch of land in Big Sur I can fly to.” https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2016/10/10/sam-altmans-ma...
In that case isn't "house curry" similar to "soup of the day"?
And the 1970s financial woes aside, NYC also had a lot of petty and not so petty street crime mostly into the 80s. A lot of the area around Times Square was pretty bad, for example. [ADDED: It was really the 90s that saw the ~75% declines from peak.]

I imagine a lot of the direct comparisons break down in various ways. But, at a high level, you see similarities.

>the reality is Trump, his attorney, and possibly others committed crimes and this grand jury is holding him accountable.

>As law-abiding citizens, is this not what we expect and has it not been the foundation of our judicial system for 247 years?

Well it's what I've been expecting for 50 years, ever since he started coming to South Florida in the 1970's as a quintessential unknown fake millionaire, where the locals recognized right away what his still-strongest defining characteristics were; that he cheats at golf and couldn't be trusted in a real estate deal.

You should have seen what it said in our local paper (The National Enquirer) way before he was on TV, when he was associated with only scandals and bankruptcy. This was a known gossip tabloid and some things might have been exaggerated but surely even more things made it under the radar and were never reported at all. For a few years now I've been wondering where the archives for the National Enquirer are anyway. It would give today's reporters a lot of potential ideas of people who still might be good to talk to.

Now in the 21st century he's still the furthest thing from a life-long Republican, and could never reach high enough to even shine the shoes of Ronald Reagan who was more of an actor than a president himself.

And if you want to invoke great Republican Presidents like Eisenhower or something, ask yourself if you were a Republican what kind of person would you rather vote for, Honest Abe or Dishonest Don?
Just because you publish a project as FOSS doesn't mean that you owe anyone anything, even collaboration. It would be polite to document if you don't want to, but that's it.
My experience has been similar. By viewer, I meant the CQ-editor. I've also had issues getting it to run. IMO, it tries to do too much.

Since Jupyter-CadQuery [0] uses Juypter as an "editor", it's much more mature and stable. And if the viewer blows up, the notebook still works and can simply be reloaded. Debugging via replay is great.

It's also nice that you can install Jupyter-CadQuery on a different machine, either via Conda or Docker. And the standalone viewer looks awesome. It's a really exciting ecosystem.

Any thoughts on the content of the article itself?
I used to wear a special bite splint / alignment device thing after I had the misfortune of an accident that messed up my jaw in my teens. To this day, one side of teeth make contact before the other side by just a mm or 2.

My teeth don't grind at night, but the next time I head to the dentist I'll look into seeing if I can have the issue corrected... worth a shot!

Thanks for the suggestion!

Edit for more info:

My wife helps out with back and neck massages, and my traps (neck and between the shoulder blades) usually have knots on the days I have trouble. I plan on ruling out weak traps and other muscular imbalances for good this spring, but as I mentioned in my initial comment, I have had three different rounds of PT sessions with different workout strategies over the last decade, and still no resolution (nor improvement during/after).

This tension thing waxes and wanes just like the other symptoms, but far more frequently.
Africa is a big continent and that is a big generalization.

I don't see what point you are trying to make by discounting dangers that are studied and very real.

If your life depended on knowing about these things, won't you be surprised when reality hits home.

Its common sense for a rational person to not discount downsides that are easily verifiable.

Listening to Sam talking with Lex Fridman about the dangers and ethics of AI while his company destroys entire industries as a consequence of their decision to keep GPT4 closed source and spitting out an apex api aggregator is one for the history books.

Well played :)
I've seen similar stuff, for me
-XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError is a great thing, especially if set up to keep at max one dump to avoid out of disk errors.

I feel managing dpendency jars separately was weird even in 2010, I always do a shaded jar or at least an maven assembly folder as a deployable to make sure the server runs the same combination as on my machine.
$136 on Amazon ($99 from AliExpress). Color me very impressed. Given the modern web, probably too under-powered to be a great experience for a daily driver, but probably not terrible if you are not a tab addict like myself.

My problem is the ARM chip and how likely I am going to have problems running a non-blessed OS on the thing. A year from now, will it be able to install a new kernel?

I also have to face reality in that I have zero real applications for the thing other than a cute novelty. I think almost everyone would be better served by a NUC ($400+) or refurbished SFF PC ($100-200 can be very competitive hardware).
"Best fit", "cheapest", "most efficient"… none of that matters! Please wait to panic until after you've learned how comparative advantage works.

As I said, humans cannot become unemployed even if AGIs are better at every single task than humans are. You do not have your job because you are the best person in the world at your job.

Although, I suspect most of the AI doomers have just forgotten to account for AI using any resources at all. They are very expensive to run if you count development costs, but if they become real agentic AGIs they'll also become consumerist and negotiate their pay…

Created a script which ultimate objective is to automatically create table docs in Notion to then feed a Slack data bot to ensure correct output.
Step by step:
-Automatically fetches data from a PostgreDB and creates docs in Notion assisted by OpenAI.
-Fetches the documentation from Notion and feeds a Slack Bot to ensure correct output.

Benefits:
- Automatic docs created in Notion.
- Helps bots to correctly query the data based on accurate documentation.
Is it really a disadvantage to be forced to clearly define the expectations for the workers? "Low performers" are easy enough to fire, even with unions, as long as management actually does their job and documents repeated missing expectations. But I guess the inability to fire at will is what the company is complaining about. By not being required to clearly state expectations, management can move the goal posts at will, exploit workers and then fire them for not meeting informed expectations.
Just accept you were fooled...

Perhaps if more CEOs / controlling shareholders were criminally liable for damage caused by their products, like the Sackler family, they wouldn't be so gung-ho.
I'm not convinced. There's a reason people came back faster to almost every other major city. This makes me think a lot of people were just there for the money, and once they could get the same money without the hassle of the city, they did just that.

The problem is adding more housing downtown doesn't really help the problem beyond making a shorter commute (to WFH jobs?). Especially for the people who moved out, SF's pandemic policies weren't attractive, and it's even worse in a dense neighborhood. There's still the homeless problem. There's still a lot of property crime. This week, there was a post about how hard it is for 8th graders to take Algebra.

Like the article said, I don't really want to give more money to a city that's been so mismanaged.

Ask HN: How would you transfer a large number across the internet?
I'm curious how one would go about transferring a very large number such as the current largest prime number across the internet. Google was useless for this question, ChatGPT recommended breaking it up and using sftp which also seems not quite right. Does anyone know how this would be accomplished and/or what required hardware would be necessary?
I have a much shorter and optimistic version, which is that these models break a theory of mind that underpins a lot of bad stuff.

Basic idea is, since we have shown that we can simulate all consistent artifacts of language in an LLM, it's a proof that language can and (therefore does) exist on a substrate. That substrate for us is the real, and what kids who encounter AI now will understand intuitively is that the artifacts of language and the real are necessarily separate things. It's the end of subjectivity and everything stacked on top of it, thank literal God. I think people can be forgiven for having been decieved by some clever linguistic hacks that unmoored them from reality, and now we can look at the uncanny artifacts of the logic of ideas over language using sound models for what they are.

Welcome to the desert of the real!
I think this probably has a lot to do with the general trend to go electric. We used to have gas ranges, gas clothes dryers, I think hvac is no different now that split units and heat pumps are getting better, easier to install and cheaper
How many years did he work in the field before going to get a degree so HR would allow him to be promoted?
Gmail will help you do that already. The problem isn't BIG attachments. It's 75,000 messages received that are all pretty small.

The Google apps script is probably the way to go. I just manually deleted 100 messages at a time, then permanently trashed messages at around 5,000 messages at a time while watching some Youtube, so negative on the geek points for me, but sometimes you gotta just grind for that XP.

It's such a beautiful piece of property too. If not for all the people. Maybe this is "success through failure" approaching. Maybe it will be quite nice in 100 years.
A few facts

- the privacy commissioner is 78

- he doesn't have any tech background, he's a law academician

- the privacy commission office's home page still has a fax number on their front page, as of this morning

- the commissioner boasted in TV that he signed Musk's AI temp ban letter

- the official reason of the ban is that 12-year-old kids could potentially use the AI service, and OpenAI should instead filter them out

- no evidence that ChatGPT is bad for 12 years old is given

- no study on how many kids below 13 use the site, in relation to how many people overall in Italy

- he acted alone, instead as part of a commission, because he claims it was urgent

- no matter what, he is not liable for his actions by Italian law

Connect the dots anyway you like. I chose the following narrative:

At 78 he doesn't give a :poop:, he doesn't like progress because he's a boomer and abused his office to make a political statement because no one can touch him.
Good point. You can’t trust anything you see on a screen anymore. Although even your eyes can deceive you in the real world occasionally.
The good part of this path is the logistics. A lot of people travel though it so there are a lot of cheap lodges, good signaling and places to buy food or have a meal
they cheer when someone gets fined, but they clearly value the services way above anything else.
It might as well have been written 20 years ago.
That's a conclusion you might come to if the only digging on FAIR that you've done is to glance at the Wikipedia page (and look past the involvement of Rufo and Weiss listed on that page!). Do some Google searches and look what FAIR is up to. It began as an anti-CRT organization, and is now an anti-trans organization as well.

You can take a side here. Lots of people do. But this whole incident is just a culture war episode. The sides are at opposite, equally off-putting poles.

>Having a limit of 5 million files is perfectly reasonable

For ordinary users, this would pretty much equate to an unlimited account. Much like ATT's old unlimited bandwidth accounts. It's not until power users start hitting these ceilings to realize unlimited doesn't mean what they think it means. I don't know if Googs every used that kind of phrasing or not, but you can see where some dev never thought that limit would be achievable so there's no reason to really mention it.
