In many contexts it's easy to verify what ChatGPT tells you. There are ways to use ChatGPT as a tool that do not require it to always be right for it to be useful.

For example, the other day I asked it something about the Flask codebase, and it found the relevant part of the codebase immediately. When I asked it about the behavior of the code, it wasn't always correct, but it still showed me the relevant code so I could read it way faster than I would have found it myself.

Initially my impression of ChatGPT was the same as yours - I asked it some questions in a specialized domain I know well, and when it was wrong I decided ChatGPT is useless. But after enough people told me they find it useful, I took another look and tried finding more applications. And since then I've been impressed by what it can do.
yes, thats exactly what I am arguing.
that is - pointing out weird numeric improbabilities in birth dates is not damning in terms of strictly indicating pension fraud.
they are unreliable as recently as 60 years ago, and certainly were even more unreliable 100+ years ago.
> In extreme case, the library remains included, to avoid a political conflict, but the code is actually never called

Ah yes, if the wrong people become aware that the code is never called, better to claim that it happened as too many people had their hand in the pot, and hey, the code is still working, and the tests are passing, so you didn't realize anything was wrong, rather than ruffle feathers and say you didn't want to touch the "genius" code because it was stuck up its own ass.
> Perhaps in the middle of the object. Near the edges it probably breaks down.

How so? The results from Maxwell’s equations are valid at any angle of incidence. And, as noted, even the algorithm in this paper can’t model the edges of an object.

> Anyway, if someone asks you to make a physically correct rendering of a scene, would you reach for a shader?

Yes, absolutely.

To be clear, I’m not talking about a fragment shader in a traditional rasterizer. I’m taking about a shader that executes when a ray hits an object. As I recall, POV-Ray was fixed-function, albeit a rather flexible fixed function. Modern ray tracers, path tracers, etc have shaders.

Here’s a very modern one. Search for “shader”:

Very overused in online discussion. It requires intent which there is virtually never evidence of. Without that it might as well just be a difference in opinion. Its prevalence speaks to how intolerant people have become.
You could have really shortened your list by just starting off with 'Use JIRA'

Also, the thing about wasting 10 weeks of wages on cloud computing was confusing because it mentioned buying exotic hardware and in my experience the options via cloud computing are never exotic, and never have a decent amount of RAM.
I would just assume that the vendor's payment app would just play a chime and maybe a readout of the amount received. Every payment app I've used has a notification with name and total when I get money. I'm pretty sure Android can already handle this anyway. Connect the phone to a speaker if you need it louder. Seems like a much cheaper solution than buying a speaker with a built-in modem that you have to pay a monthly fee for unless you just don't own a smartphone.

It's perfectly possible to assemble a project by writing individual files one at a time, so you would basically get 8k tokens per file. Or you could even write out the files in parts.

Tell HN: Unpkg.com Performance Issues
https://unpkg.com/ appears to be experiencing some instability and unreliability right now. This is an <excellent> opportunity to identify any assets that you're not caching and/or are directly pulling from unpkg.com in your production environment.

I've encountered "HTTP 520 Web server is returning an unknown error" responses intermittently from Cloudflare.

Recurring downtime for unpkg.com has been an issue in the past. In August 2022, Shopify notified its partners to switch from unpkg.com to jsdelivr.net [1]. I can only speculate that Shopify made this recommendation due to the negative impact of unpkg.com's downtime on numerous online shops.

[1]: jsdelivr.net offers a convenient tool for this migration at https://www.jsdelivr.com/unpkg.
Please stop. Doing this the first week ChatGPT was released was cute. Now it's so so tired.
People weren't as concerned with record keeping back then, these things were just gonna grow mold and feed mice in a drawer somewhere unless someone was trying to annul a marriage (for consanguinity) or argue over an inheritance.

Then the modern administrative state sprang up very fast and the generation born in the late 19th or early 20th century was caught in the middle.

That's pretty impressive. Best I've personally witnessed was a stripper who finished her show and then came out to the video poker machines and started shoveling cash into it. Her hands never stopped moving, the dollar balance would jump up as she put in another bill, then every few seconds drop as she bet and lost. Over and over until she (presumably) ran out of cash. We counted over $1000 into that machine in less than half an hour.
I'm reminded of the long jump record:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Men%27s_long_jump_world_reco...

There's only one in-competition jump better than Bob Beamon's in the last 55 years
FFS - it's not about the vehicle it's about the infrastructure. Roads are designed for and built for cars and so are the infrastructure around roads - from shops to cinemas.

We spend trillions on car infrastructure and something around five bucks a year on painting lines for cycles. Don't make me laugh that suddenly e-bikes appear and they will get 20/30 % of the infrastructure spend cars do. The charging stations, the repair garages, the insurance industry

come on. We are talking about re-engineering our cities totally - it's a huge spend.
We're only going to see these problems exacerbated if only the rich have access to the best intellectual labor, and have to share its fruits with no one. AI/AGI has the potential to further concentrate power.

We need a new political approach, technology cannot solve problems created by greed, hostility, and tribalism.
I had to implement a routine involving URL parsing in a library that is supposed to be behavior-identical across implementations in multiple languages. That was fun.
> That book was published in 2020. You make it sounds like it's fresh off the press.

That was copy pasta from the by line in the article.

Doesn’t make it right, but it at least explains the source.
also requires shifting away from the progressive agenda that has made so many cities unliveable: from bans on energy sources such natural gas and a refusal to crack down on crime to the usually miserable state of urban public education.

I don't think the last of those is part of any progressive agenda. Probably the biggest factor in the deterioration of urban schools is white flight to those suburbs that Kotlin likes so much and the resulting loss of tax revenue.

Edit: I don't see why people are getting so irritated at my using the term "white flight." As far as I can tell it's the only recognized shorthand for this demographic trend.
Compared to a computer program, no matter how complex, a human being cannot be 'copied', 'stopped', 'restored' or 'improved'. Not as yet, anyway.

As long as this remains true, how could a computer program compare to human beings, even if gets to where it's considered 'AGI'? It's just a tool which can be tinkered with, just like a car or a building.

How do you access GPT-4 through ChatGPT? Or how can you tell which version you're using?
You don't need to play custom audio. Notification narration already exists.
Only in protected mode, and then segments were defined by descriptor table entries having a full 24 bit base address.
No, it was government bureaucracy that was serious enough to only issue papers for the date on which you appeared..

but not serious enough to have staff distributed across the rural areas to actually be accessible to people outside the big cities..

It's easy to mandate things that are easily enforceable (date=today only legal birth cert). Doesn't mean its a useful mandate.
> You can, you should teach your kid about the dangers of drugs and addiction. Still you wouldn't bring him in a crack house...

I know this is a little tongue-in-cheek, but I have a 15 year-old and we lived downtown in a major city until 5th grade. Mom and Dad definitely talked about the dangers of drugs, but I don't think any of those talks made anywhere near the impression of coming across someone passed out in the entrance to a subway station with a needle stuck in there arm. Our trip was delayed while I made sure the person was still breathing and then summoned medical help.
Then we will connect plugins visually as Unreal's Blueprint Visual Scripting allows.
It really is surprisingly easy to spot.

Just a thought - where are all those "best employees" going to go?

The last time I looked there were almost 2 job openings per unemployed person in America. Unemployment right now is around 3.6% which is a slight uptick from other recent numbers, but still close to "historically low" territory. There are jobs out there.

Everyone is battening the hatches for a recession and VCs don't have tons of cash to hand out for new startups.

I would say it's a bit myopic to think that tech workers can only go to work for tech startups, or even companies that identify as "tech companies". So maybe somebody from Google winds up at John Deere, or Kohls, or Farmer's Insurance, or what-have-you. Now of course there's always going to be those people who have the mindset "I'm too good to work for company that makes tractors, pppffawwww." or whatever. So sure, they might not be rushing to leave unless the flood waters are literally swirling around their ankles. But clearly not everybody is going to fall into that category.
You pointed to a survey that asked people to agree or disagree with the assertion that sometimes, children need a "good hard spanking." As I said in that thread, that evidence is unpersuasive, because it relies on a confusing English idiom. As used in America, the term "good hard spanking" just means "spanking." But if you're one of the 71% of Asian American adults born in another country, that qualifier "hard" implies something more extreme than an ordinary spanking.

We know for a fact that corporal punishment is widely used in Asia. Surveys show that 60-70% of parents in India, China, and Japan spank their kids or approve of spanking: e.g. https://www.chinadaily.com.cn/opinion/2014-06/03/content_175.... It's possible that all those Asian immigrants come to American and adopt western attitudes against corporal punishment, but I'm going to need more than a poorly worded survey to believe that.

> Nobody should hit kids. This is a bad contrarian hill to die on.

You're the contrarian here! The same survey you relied on in the other thread shows that the vast majority of asian American parents (73%) spank their kids.
>"can’t wait for his regime to collapse, all without the west lifting a finger"

I believe and hope that Putin's regime will collapse. After that the West will be very busy "lifting fingers" figuring out what to do with the huge country in disarray and full of nukes.
I call it the Anglo-Saxon pioneers who take advantage of their Protestant work-ethic to procure long roads and prudently engage in trade of Catan
I'd like to hope so too, but hope is not enough. How do you see that playing out in reality?
I've been looking for this exact thing. So good wtf
As an "old warhorse," I can tell you that I have been labeled a "complainer," because of such "complaints" as "Have you considered what happens when the user does X?" or "I tried pretty much the same thing, last year. It didn't turn out the way I wanted. Here's what happened..." or "Is that thread-safe?" or "Are you sure that will never be called on another thread? You do have a few network closures, here." or "Did you make sure that you let the connection go, after sending that instruction? It will result in power drain, if not."

etc.

Real killjoy.
well it can eat around 300mb of ram, but its still very responsive and fast, so I don't mind that, but that's not lightweight, unless postman tops that and eats much more ram, then sure, rapidapi is lightweight
I agree with you.

People knew and understood the risks. They lost money when it failed.

They just want someone to pay for it.

This isn't fair.

And yes, I know a bunch of them.

Seriously, Id like to know the guy who also helped [REDACTED]

You have an interesting trajectory
I think the next milestone for OpenAI should be adding hormones, chemical imbalances and mood swings.
Exactly, and in the end that's the only thing that matters: power. We in the western world can be very happy that democracies represent the biggest power.

Anyone who doesn't agree is free to emigrate or happily live in a dictatorship of course.
Yeah, this happened to me in Chicago. I was fine in the water, so I'm going to guess the water was in the 60s. But after a while one of my leaner companions climbed up on the bit of the bow railing still above water to try to get warmer, so I doubt the water was in the 70s.

I moved to the SF Bay not long after, so you clearly get why I haven't done much sailing here. I did a triathlon swim here plus some bay training, and the cold water is a real shock to the system.
Superman The Movie was more prophetic than we thought.
USA, about a mile from several major hospital complexes. Not at all in the sticks.

The ER bills for the day of the accident were around $22K for X-rays and CT scans. The ambulance was $650. I had 2 broken ribs, a broken nose, and a fractured vertebrae. Bruises on every body part. A back brace was $1500. An elbow MRI was $3500. Had to have nose surgery to fix my smashed nose, for breathing, not for looks: $11K. The rest were miscellaneous doctor appts (around 25), 5 physical therapy sessions, pre-surgery blood tests and X-rays, follow-up X-rays, etc.
The more and more I see, the decision to finally install Windows 10 LTSC is more and more justified for my gaming PC.

I have to wonder though how much of this stuff are they going to try to shove into Windows 11 LTSC when that comes out or are they going to continue the pattern of a lot of the shady stuff magically being missing from LTSC?
While not as extreme, many of the real-official birthdays straddle month end / month starts.

In one case it kicked someones birthdate to a new calendar year and his pension kicks in a year later as a result.

Agree with the premise here. Not sure what the attraction of downtown urban areas are anymore. I live about 2.5 hours from Chicago... and it is a shell of its former self. Crime is a real problem. What is the draw anymore? Expensive, overly regulated, poor public education, crime, poor public transportation...
Congrats to Harrison and the team. The pace of Langchain development is pretty stunning and they deserve the shot to make this happen.
This looks like domain squatting with extra steps. That extra step being a semi-relevant splash page.

I think your website needs more info on what value you bring.
> I don't think the last of those is part of any progressive agenda.

Especially since it's overwhelmingly due to failed social policy and our pathetic social safety net. Neither of which can really be laid at the feet of progressives (though, to some extent, is Democrats' fault! Disastrous '90s welfare reform was done with the support of Clinton and other dems, and they spent a long time supporting the also-disastrous drug war)
Try the Robot Operating System documentation for the software and control side. If you can write the low level drivers then the ROS stack abstracts the IK and other middleware layers allowing you to focus on app and problem spaces.

I love my ebike too, and I have a similar commute and routine with the kids. That said, in summer time in Denmark, I get sweaty. So I need to wear cooler gear and I often need a shower when I get to work. It definitely adds time to the commute so it's not all roses.
Another clarification... many of the higher-end e-bikes act as a power multiplier. If you put 100W into the pedals, you get 200W at the wheels (roughly). To go ~20mph, you're putting in ~15mph worth of effort. For my wife and I, that means she can keep up with me with a similar perceived exertion, which is really nice.

Some of the less expensive e-bikes just have a dumb switch on the pedal to meet legal requirements. You can barely pedal at all and the motor will accelerate to 20mph (or faster). And some have a throttle that bypasses the pedals completely (typically not allowed on bike trails/lanes, though hard to enforce).
Unbelievably frustrating to be a junior or mid level engineer working with a senior dev who does this, watching it happen, maybe even arguing back and being overruled.

Show HN: Deno SaaSKit
Hey all,

Our community wanted to learn how to do more with Fresh, adding auth, databases, logins, billing, etc., so while we were creating educational resources, we also decided to build and open source a SaaS template written in Fresh/Supabase.

Note this is in beta and our SaaS features are limited, but we have a roadmap to 1.0 and welcome any contributions/feedback/etc.

We'd love to get your thoughts on this project!
The specific composition of baryons is fairly niche physics. Assuming you're not educated in quantum physics, there's as much reason to expect to know about that as there is to expect a non-programmer to know about the minutia of different manual memory management strategies.
Isn't it more likely that it's just the bigger the fraud the more likely we are to hear about it, whereas even if 50% of deals the size you went through turned out fraudulent most of them wouldn't make the news and the ones that did might still not make the front page of HN?
He was remanded to police custody. He is under arrest until the judge releases him on his own recognizance.

It's bizarre to me that people jump to the slave conclusion when what we are talking about is well trained linear algebra. It's similar to the people that call AI imagery "art" when it has no expression other than the users input, similar to a paint brush but requiring much less effort.
Paying people 15%+ yield is a common marketing cost for new financial opportunities.

It's unrealistic long term, but this is obvious and everyone should know this.

Not sure what’s worse. That people do it, or that it works.
That would require leaving a smartphone and a speaker lying around where they might be stolen. Having it be a cheap, single-use device reduces the incentive for theft.
That you know these bikes and scooters blocking pavements is a social ill but you do not care because it is convenient for a fraction of a percent of commuters
Funny thing: I asked ChatGPT last week to write me a script to fetch the latest HN posts and notify me on Telegram when a post matches a given keyword. Keeps me updated without wading through the ChatGPT posts.
"Complete control"

Eh, this is something up for a lot of debate, and will quickly fall to principal-agent problems and complexities in human systems an internetwork that quickly make any large piece of software inscrutable to any individual. Each individual may believe they have 'full control' of the system state, but that's generally a lie we tell ourselves to feel comfortable.
Shouldn't it be a plugin for a more used open-source IDE?
The NT-USB. Came with a pop filter and stand. Bought it ages ago and still going, with the only problem being the USB socket at the bottom got a bit loose - my kids abused it when I wasn't there.
Yes. Additionally I'm not moving across the country to live in a strange and expensive city to work on your CRUD app.

There is no way back, even at 2X or 3x more.
Given that this person already has shown they don't care about harming others, it seems reasonable to be worried about retaliation if they found out they were being listed as a conflict. I'm not sure about anyone else, but I don't think I'd personally be willing to bet my safety on the hope that putting someone down as a conflict wouldn't leak somehow; all it would take is one person to not realize the severity of the reason they were listed to get curious and ask their colleague in their field if they knew why they were listed as a "conflict".
You pronnounce it like curl, but changing how you pronounce "c" by how you pronounce "tr".
Aka wills.
Maybe you could prompt ChatGPT to write a browser extension for that...
