What's always kept me from making the jump is that I'll get hours, day, or weeks into using it and then hit a dealbreaker. It's always something basic but bizarre, and the attitude of the community is always "Come on dude, you should've known you can't use that distro if you want to have a network file share with filenames that start with the letter B." The solution is always to either go f*ck myself and start over or change something that breaks some other core functionality. "Ok this patch fixes your issue with pasted text never having capital letters but you'll only be able to connect to wifi 802.11AC or better, not N or G."

sort of a haiku almost, this revue. The real movie takes time to develop the base plot, by indirection and example instead of prose description like this review. The "answers" provided in the review as descriptions are basically accurate, but the viewer has to puzzle it out, and it is never said directly by the movie.

This movie has stuck with me for decades. I still refer to it when we get the "Star Trek" irrational exuberance crowd around spending multi-billions on space adventures. Secondly how about those small sats eh? Maybe not every space mission has to be decades long with budgets that match.
How does that reconcile with the syphon principle? You'd figure that once the water is flowing out of the end, even if the tank was below some of the water's path, the flow would continue until all the water was gone.
Yes. People here seem to be forgetting that Open Source was a community driven ideal first. The License came later as "protection". Corporations were stealing code and there was no recourse. The variety of open source licenses were created to provide a framework for the community, to fight off stealing, to keep it open. So GPT is very much 'laundering' the code just like criminals 'launder' money.
LLMs may be an approximation of our knowledge, but understand that there’s more to reasoning than a language model. GPT understands how tokens relate to each other, but humans understand how objects, places, and abstract concepts relate to each other as well. We have a little further to go for AGI.

I do believe that GPT4 is a really good approximation of our language though, and feel similarly to you when I respond off the cuff.
> The returns are diminishing

Always has been. Buying top of the line technology is paying an early adopter penalty. People talk about FPS (frames per second) with gaming PC's and I think its an unnoticeable arms race about numbers. If the human eye can't observe more than 60 FPS and you aren't playing competitively (aka professionally) what will that extra FPS boost get you? Paying for bragging rights (ironic observation for gamers)?

Disruption of financial markets is not a precision weapon, and it frequently backfires. Currency wars aligning with multipolar powers makes them even more disruptive. Once the US defense of the dollar turns from theoretical to reality, it necessitates violence. You can say "the USD has all this power as a reserve currency because of US military power projection," and it may be true, but once other powers start to align and actively compete with the dollar as the reserve currency, the US needs to actively respond. And that means making good on their threats, not just projecting them. Thus, global financial instability leads to violence.
Where was the chat app of fifteen years ago which could open Microsoft Word documents inside it, such that multiple people could have them open and be shared-editing the same file at the same time? Where was the chat app which could record the video call, add automated transcriptions, and upload it to a SharePoint-alike document store with permissions for the people on the call to watch it? Where was the chat app of fifteen years ago which was cross platform Windows/macOS/iOS/Android/Web browser including video calling?

> I also fail to see what the various Hindu religions' views on god or duality/non-duality have to do with Buddhism.

Because Buddhism is derived from the Vedic text on adwaita.
Pursuing status makes sense where the value of the decision rights or autonomy you get outweighs the cost of the pursuit.

The value of the decision rights or autonomy can vary from person to person.
Yeah but often those designated areas are very large, allowing people to block the walkways and them all piled up, when they fall over isn't visually appealing. (Yes, people get upset over silly things). Like actual bike stands, something to keep them upright and away from the walking paths would've been helpful.

I honestly thought this was an April fools joke. Kind of speaks to what the UFC prefers in their fighters though. They love heels and are always encouraging fighters to talk shit.
Well, that's just my opinion. Germany's infrastructure was attacked, Sweden said "We're not gonna share our findings with German intelligence". Not sure how there's any situation in which Germany should go to a literal war - no questions asked - should Sweden be attacked if Sweden cannot even share their findings when it comes to an attack on an supposed ally.

Would you be willing to help out your neighbor if he told you that he has information about who robbed your house but won't share it with you? I highly doubt it.

>This genie isn't going back into the bottle.

I don't think that impacts legal things, however you are correct, AI art can never go away.

If the legal hammer falls on the bad side of this, corporations/people with decent sized assets are unable to use these tools without paying some sort of royalty.

>I understand why artists are depressed now

As someone who isnt an artist, I wish I could sketch something quickly, use controlnet, and have my idea turned into reality in a few seconds. Non artists are basically at the whim of other creators + the randomness of txt2img. Heck, it seems there is something I want changed with nearly every AI art picture, with actual art skills, you could fix these.
Speaking of Linux gaming, how is HDR support coming along?
It's always been a web developer's job to workaround browser incompatibility issues. Expecting them all to be 100% compliant with specs is a mirage.
This is a pretty good summary of the complexity of the issue legally (worth reading the whole thing). The plaintiffs pretty clearly either don’t know how ML works or are deliberately misconstruing the facts. But the real question is how a judge and/or jury will look at this given how tricky the debate is (as evidenced by comments in the many posts about GPT-like models right here on HN).

There are a lot of emotions around this space right now. I’m very curious to see how the legal teams break things down logically and with precedents.
How much has been spent on the Ukraine Russia conflict that could’ve been avoided if Russia had feared a NATO response (assuming existing Ukraine membership)? Avoided spending that now must be spent to defang Russia. The numbers I’ve seen thrown around are $100B+ in conflict cost. Cheaper to have done the paperwork and meetings imho, not to mention the exceptional loss of life in aggregate.

The premise of this is ridiculous. The smartest people I know personally and that I'm aware of generally are not attracted by AI. Person 1 was interested in fundamental physics (dark matter) but had to leave physics due to lack of job opportunities. Person 2 is Terrence Tao. Person 3 is Ed Witten, etc etc.

This reflects the hubris of the tech world that overestimates its own intelligence....
I mean, a big problem is that "fair use" is pretty broken already. It's just a really sloppy legal test that ends up bowing to trends, non-expert opinions and utter randomness as much as it does legal rigor.
You just did the same thing with what I said to draw a ridiculous conclusion and attack that...
Anecdotally, about half the frontend bugs that I see go through our JIRA at work seem Safari/iOS specific lol

> Finland is insignificant from a geopolitical point of view. Its joining NATO only makes NATO less secure as a whole, rather than strenghtening it.

This makes zero sense. Please elaborate.

Can you give some facts and figures to support this ? Because as I understand then the world would be tradin in multiple currencies for Oil&Gas.
I don't think that's necessarily a good idea.
Ignoring the fact that no country should be pressured to accept becoming allies with some other country they don't like, what would Sweden expect from Turkey if, say, Russia invades?

Startups are known for their highly dynamic and competitive environment. As a result, founders and business leaders must make informed decisions constantly to ensure long-term success of the company. Statistics is a powerful tool that can help startups do this, providing a solid foundation for strategic and operational decision-making. In this blog post, we will explore how startups can leverage statistics to improve their business success, including data analysis, identifying key metrics, and implementing A/B testing.

Yeah, but the popular narrative now is that China is the real super power because they have a strong autocratic leader and aren't bogged down by democracy, and don't have to deal with other people's uneducated opinions.

Not that they have a mountain of shadow debt built upon the biggest housing bubble the world has ever seen (by far) and an absolute demographic time bomb about to blow up their future...

What do you mean by this? The wealthiest and most influential of ancient Greek society could also end up as slaves in their own communities?
Spanking a child and beating a child are two completely unrelated things.

Yes, striking your child to teach them a lesson is definitely completely unrelated to striking your child out of anger/frustration. Definitely no connections there at all.
You bring up a good point. I'm unsure.

I live full time in Indonesia, and their irrigation system is much more complex. I saw nothing of the sort in Laos, so perhaps that could be a factor too.

What is 'SIP' in this context?
"Perfect" seems a bit overhyped, e.g. no oled, notch, keyboard, weight and size (e.g. compare to an x1 nano or xps 13 plus), limited ram, storage.

I'm an MMA fan and I'm not concerned about this affecting UFC's integrity. Their matchmaking is already often based off of what will be marketable. It's an accepted part of the business, and they know they need to balance it with high level competition.

I think this move really makes sense for the career paths of UFC fighters. Right now, you can have a very marketable fighter fall in the rankings, and suddenly lose a ton of value. MMA fighters also tend to decline really quickly with age. So a transition to something else like Pro Wrestling can be a good path to maintaining a really lucrative career, as we've seen with a bunch of fighters like Ronda Rousey, Brock Lesnar, and Ken Shamrock.
I agree about the utility part.

However, I don't really accept the idea that this isn't reasoning, but I'm not entirely sold either way.

I'd say if it mimics something well enough then eventually it's just doing the thing, which is the same side of the argument I fall on with Searle's Chinese Room Argument. If you can't discern a difference, is there a difference?

So far GPT-4 can produce better work than like 50% of humans and better responses to brain teaser questions than most of them too, I'm at least just in a bubble and so I don't run into people that stupid that often. So it's easier for me to see the gaps still.
> We will end the year at $130M in annual revenues and burning ~$925K/month

so your expenses are $141M/year.

I am not in your shoes, but if I were, I would start with cost cutting:

- easiest, fastest and unfortunate one - layoffs

- cost cutting on marketing side, probably some clicks you get are fake anyways

- look into negotiating with vendors, they are interested in not losing you as a customer.

- if you are an engineering first company, I think you can save some cost by optimizing your stack a little bit (depending on how big is your eng infra), e.g. less EC2 instances, less monitoring for non-important things,..

Good luck
It doesn't bring additional strength to the table, rather it's a country in need of protection. This means now every other NATO country has a higher chance of being forced in a defensive war if something happens to Finland. On the other hand Finland won't be able to contribute much to protect other NATO countries. Hence, NATO countries are a bit less safe now.
GNU/Linux phones already exist, see Librem 5 and Pinephone.
I don't think Google is afraid LLMs will "fix" all its issues. I think they're more afraid that their seemingly unassailable moat is suddenly exposed to disruption.

People use search engines to find answers to questions. If ChatGPT can give an answer faster and in a more natural format then people will flock to it. Most won't care that the quality of the response is as low or lower than what a search engine returns.
That's where you're wrong. I'm in to polydactyls!
I guess we'll see how the Ryzen 7000 Framework laptop plays out in terms of power consumption but I have no complaints with my 6850u-based Thinkpad, the battery lasts for 11-14 hours and the parallel compile performance is top tier.

But the main advantage Framework offers to me as a remote worker is the ability to replace components without having my work machine be out of service while waiting for shipping+servicing.

I only wish Framework would do a better job at keeping their bespoke components in stock and available for overnight/same day shipping, maybe charge a premium or something.

Having worked at an NGO doing data work for years, this. Sadly most charities aren't in a position to easily accept outside professional help for a variety of reasons. Going down and doing work at a soup kitchen or just donating $$ will have a larger impact.
Having lived in Latin America and Europe, it seems absurd to think that GDP correlates with happiness. And besides, it's not like the world has become exponentially happier in the past two hundred years. Trying to measure happiness by assuming it's tied to factors like these is ridiculous.

After extensive traveling, I can say the best indicator of happiness is the amount of people per area who close their business on Sunday to eat lunch with their family.

Show HN: Download ChatGPT conversations as Markdown files
There are a number of takes on this idea already, however I wanted something that wasn't a browser extension, didn't require a server, is trivial to run, and saves conversations locally as Markdown files.

Not really. Southern Kuril islands were negotiated by USSR with USA and UK as a price for USSR joining the war against Japan during WW2 after Germany was defeated. But after WW2 occupied Japan under the pressure of USA refused to sign a peace treaty with USSR and regulate territorial dispute. Russia and Japan were in talks about peaceful resolving Southern Kuril issues for decades, but the main obstacle is that Japan is still an occupied nation with USA military bases stationed there.

After USA pressured Japan to sanction Russia and send military support to Ukraine, all talks about Kurils were terminated.
Nobody is demanding anything of NATO. I am retroactively demanding that the Ukrainian leadership should have rooted out corruption and got Ukraine’s ducks in a row so that it could join NATO. And the whole point of NATO is that most smaller countries do not benefit NATO as much as the alliance benefits them. Yet the cumulative effect is more world peace.

Besides, did you not notice the effect the war in Ukraine had on things like gas prices in the US?
> I haven't made any claim, I've reported two factoids and backed them with solid references to allow readers to verify and pursue that angle for themselves.

But don't take my word for it. Or do, because you've clearly settled on a decision without researching the problem.
Repairability and customisability are what make the Framework laptops exciting. So yeah, you could fit those into either of your buckets (marketing or intangible concepts) depending on your perspective.

I'm not sure why one can't get excited about the Framework without owning one. I haven't bought a Framework because I already have a perfectly good laptop. But it's still great to see a laptop like this in the market and I hope that it (or something else inspired by it) is still around when I eventually do need to buy a laptop again.
Google's problems are not technical but business.

They started out with ads clearly separated from the search results because they thought otherwise it would look illegitimate.

They discovered that if the search results were good in that case, nobody would look at the ads. They brought in a substantial amount of money, but they were under pressure to put up better numbers quarter after quarter so they (1) degrade the search results, and (2) blend ads into the search results so frequently you don't see any real search results on the page.

If LLMs or some other technology improves the search results and displaces advertising, that's a problem for Google, not a solution.

Yup. At some point there was a storm in a teacup in the dataviz community about the name of the plot, because someone discovered the plot, discovered Joy Division, and learned of the origins of the name -- then immediately had to get offended and mount a crusade about it.

Luckily, "ridgeline" does describe the plot type quite well, maybe even better than "joyplot".

"If you're not with us, you're against us" is a pretty reductive, American-centric way of approaching politics. There are plenty of topics which I'm happy to not hold a strong opinion on and I'll probably spend my entire life that way. Folks who feel strongly about _any_ issue will always tell moderates they're just shills for the other side, which is part of what makes the argument so tiresome.
