Yeah, it was already dead (I only found it because I did a hn.algolia.com search trying to work out why no one was upvoting another article on the same topic). If I don’t know the meaning, I work it out and post it to help others.
They used to really burn your mouth sometimes. Well that problem is solved because they are probably technically crackers now, there is so little filling.
Sure, some do, but this is not universal truth. Here is what ChatGPT4 has to say about the subject

"As an AI language model, I don't have personal experiences or opinions, but I can provide a general analysis of the topic. People's preferences and attitudes toward work, financial security, and stress vary greatly based on their personal beliefs, values, and experiences.

Many people do express a desire for greater financial freedom and independence, as well as relief from the stress of meeting basic needs like paying rent and buying food. The notion of a Universal Basic Income (UBI) has gained popularity in recent years, which proposes providing a fixed sum of money to every citizen regardless of their employment status. Advocates of UBI argue that it could help address issues of poverty, income inequality, and stress related to meeting basic needs.

However, people's perspectives on work and financial stress are diverse, and not everyone shares the same view on this issue. Some people may find satisfaction and purpose in their work and might not want to be completely free from it. Others may be more focused on career advancement, personal growth, or contributing to their communities through work.

Ultimately, people's preferences regarding work, financial security, and stress are influenced by a wide range of factors, including their cultural backgrounds, socioeconomic status, personal values, and life experiences."
It's also nice to not lose your mind over how crazy Python and Docker are, when all you want to do is run inference in a shell script as though it were the `cat` command. That sacred cow is going to have to come out of the temple sooner or later, and when that happens, people are going to think, wow, it's just a cow.

Bard hasn’t been using Google’s best language models. I believe it just got an upgrade, however, and I’m now getting output that is significantly more coherent and useful than ChatGPT’s. It’s also a helluva lot faster, though that could owe to the limited access.
Given the language difference, that's a bit like someone in Tokyo saying they meant https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian_Mune instead of 胸

(Although I may be showing a certain degree of misunderstanding of my own given how different languages slice up reality in different ways, and 胸 may not mean quite what a literal translation suggests…)

Those factors of 10 don't really look so nice if you use e.g. the binary number system.
But ... but ... but ... my keyboard has this "escape" key! Why doesn't that let me escape the current program? Oh, there's this "break" key! That doesn't seem to work. And why do I have to use Ctrl-D when I have this "pause" key as well?

Can you see why students might be confused?
MV3 is more than declarativeNetRequest and the reason why declarativeNetRequest improves privacy is that users are not giving out as overly broad permission. A user may want to block ads, but may also want to not give the ad blocker the ability to observe the requests. Even if the user trusts the developer of the adblocker, there is always the chance they get hacked.

The average user should not be giving out the webRequest enabled for every website to an extension.

It makes sense for the chromium team to periodically evaluate the use cases of extensions and see if there are better APIs that it could offer to move the ecosystem forward.
Real PTO is a liability that shows up on the company's balance sheet. I'm sure they care if their manager tells them, "hey we need to reduce the amount of outstanding PTO and your department is dragging us down, fix it".
Definitely +1 for Feeder, it works great
If they want to maximize the sale price of their condo? Yes. They’ll just have to relocate to a different housing market to buy that mansion.

You just described every Californian who upsized by moving out of state. They definitely wanted their condo, bungalow, or shack to get top dollar in their market.
Policies and laws aren't abstract, they're a good example in fact of what I said - things that have a concerete effect on reality typically authored by a small number of specific individuals within a government.
I don't know about the USA, but in some countries you can claim a "reserve" for accrued but unpaid amounts in some circumstances. Worth talking to an accountant to see if that's a thing in your case. (Note, there's also "reserve for doubtful accounts", which is if you're not sure if you're going to end up getting paid. It sounds like that one wouldn't apply; I mention it just to be clear that I'm not talking about that sort of reserve.)
>share the wealth created by productivity gains

This is a bad approach. We should instead be thinking this way:

"Even people working physical jobs can use AI to improve their productivity, considering transformers are being used for robotics now."

Governments should make sure that everyone takes advantage of the new technology so we can deploy it as fast as possible. They should make sure everyone understands that using AI is a requirement to survive in 2023, and we will all need to radically change our workflows.
This is good enough. It's like people who fall for spam and scams - I can't sympathize, really. Evolution punishes stupidity and it's no wonder why all the world is going downhill as this twisted form of democracy does one thing - breeds populists!

The Japanese were brutal, determined fighters. Many of them willing to fight it out to the last man.

Imagine you’re Truman or a General who has watched countless Allied and Japanese die in the war. How exactly would you get an enemy like that to surrender if you’re not willing to deliver a couple knockout punches?
Yea, I think this is what is interesting about this approach.
It’s an optional tax
If you don’t have the money you can muddle along or do your research but if you have money you can just support the trails by buying a map.

Seems easy and efficient. You don’t need to charge mandatory admission and collect money (like is done in the US) you just sell an optional map in local stores. Makes sense.
>if they're seriously threatening the idea of a "Windows runtime".

From my vantage point, it certainly seems successful. I finally ditched my Windows gaming-only PC last year. Granted, people like me are likely less than a single digit percentage of gamers, but we exist, and as Proton compatibility improves, the percentage could rise.
You and parent are two sides of the same utopia/dystopia coin.

Something which is powerful enough to completely liberate and categorically change humanity is also just one bug or mistake away from being humanity's greatest disaster. Similarly, a force intelligent and powerful enough to systematically wipe out all humans could probably be repurposed for human liberation. Like splitting the atom, it is just power. So far humans have not figured out a way to build in benevolence (or malevolence) to power; it will be used by whatever intelligence can acquire it. Power raises the stakes but it doesn't set the direction.
Risk, I think. For most people this is a higher risk strategy long term than just "paying the mortgage". Depending on your life stage and overall position it can make sense but it's not for everyone.
Imagine being as stupid as this
You're lucky if they want either the product _or_ the vision. Quite often they simply want the team or the void left by the market position the acquisition used to have. Of those two, the acquirer wanting the team is better but if they want nothing but the team odds are the team has little reason to stay other than golden handcuffs.
Same in Switzerland, you have to take a certain amount of vacation as well as a certain amount of breaks in the work day. Even if you want to skip lunch to leave early it is not technically allowed. [1]

Also, if you get sick on vacation you get that time back as well. [2]

That's all well and good, but it's not well and good to change what you say because the calculus of what will personally benefit you has changed. It's not the same as "new information coming to light", it is instead greed.

We've already seen a charity robbed to no end other than Profit. Commercializing OpenAI was for one reason: to enrich the people commercializing it. Not to benefit society, and with nary a thought given to the consequences.

Control of AI serves one purpose, in Altman's mind, I am convinced: to prevent other people from eating the chickens he counted too early.

If ten million people lose their jobs to ChatGPT, it's fine as long as Altman & Co grow richer, but if those same people try to democratize AI and make his time and investment valueless in the face of a commoditized category of software, all the sudden he has a problem and those people should be constrained by the government -- but Altman should not?

This won't be the first time greed failed.
Gotcha, that makes a lot of sense then. Thank you!

Making this absurd for a sec to make my point, I think they’re just saying if the physical sound of an arm being cut off just happened to mimic a human voice crying out, that wouldn’t make it a sign of consciousness like an actual “Ow!” from the speech center.

There’s a difference between a creature’s higher level response to a stimulus and just stuff that happens as a direct physical consequence of the stimulus.

It’s the same deal as boiling live lobsters. They aren’t actually screaming, even if you would be. That’s steam escaping. What the plant sound actually is, no clue. But I think the lobster scenario is what was being suggested upthread.
It's in the the unwritten part titled "Common Sense and the Survival of the Fittest."
> got lucky allocating capital (plenty of idiots can and have gotten lucky or were at the right place at the right time)

Not saying you're wrong, but this feels like an unfalsifiable hypothesis. How can anyone ever be successful enough that their success could not possibly be explained by luck. Does Musk count? Buffett?
This either works and will be a sight to behold or it blows up, which most definitely will be a sight to behold. In any case much to look forward to (though I’m firmly in the ’hope it works’ camp ;))
One has to be the most deranged and deluded sort of idiot libertarian to think that Ross doesn’t deserve to rot away in prison.

It’s not a matter of how one feels about drug policy or even financial / identity fraud.

He wasn’t just a kid that helped people sell drugs online.

Anyone that begins to spout this BS I assume either doesn’t know the full extent of the Silk Road story (which is inexcusable given its immense media coverage) or is a sheltered “you should just be able to do anything mahn” haven’t-really-thought-about-it-for-more-than-one-second libertarian.
That is silly, but at least you can download the GPX in a very straight-forward way ("The Trail" > "Download GPX"), which you can then load in OsmAnd.

This is a new video format I'm trying out, and I would absolutely love feedback.

I'm hoping to make building stuff entertaining in a way.
if someone is at that level they are learning the language and do tutorial or student projects where version control doesn't yet matter. which is fine. once they have done a few of those, it's time to introduce basic version control.
Ask HN: Are these OpenAI elephants plausible?
- what OpenAI built is generations ahead of anything else. Many have tried, but they do not come close in the benchmarks. Leading researchers are scratching their heads trying to figure out the model.

- it is an AGI, anyhow you want to cut it: It blows the Turing Test out of the water, the thing that was considered an acid test for AI systems for decades. It does theory of mind. It defeats hard open problems in computational causality.

This in itself is good. But there are a few elephants in the room that are uncomfortable to speak about:

- They are playing down the fact that this is an AGI. Microsoft crossed out the AGI from their "Sparks of .." paper title. There are way too many smart people calling it out as "stochastic parrot" when anyone who has spent time on it knows that this is not true. There is a world causality model, they are claiming it has emerged from the LLM but nobody really knows how that solves some of the hard stuff.

- Remember how SBF's FTX was a world leading crypto exchange, it somehow lacked the army of engineers and SRE team for that kind of mammoth operation. Something felt off then, and it feels off now. the OpenAI team is too small to pull off 1) the vast research 2) productionising it and 3) rolling out a product like to this to millions of users .

- Google had this technology for some time but kept it secret (In July 2022, they fired Blake Lemoine, who came out claiming Google's chatbot generator LaMDA was sentient)

- Facebook's multi billion dollar metaverse investment was probably a front for building this AI. There is probably an army of engineers working for these companies who have trained the system with human feedback, but are under strict NDA.

- Implying the technology is a cross organization Darpa thing.

- They have probably had this technology for some time. what else is out there that we dont know about (Nuclear fusion?)
Cancun and the Caribbean are very specific types of vacations I mostly don't have much interest in. There are other South American trips though those can get more involved; looking at one at the moment.

To be clear I've traveled internationally a lot. But I also understand why fewer Americans are inclined to do so than someone who lives in a small European country who might drive across a border.

I’m actually traveling to Europe in about a week but it’s about $1K.
> The side-effects of those qualifiers are untested and unknown,

If you define the qualifiers to be a literal shorthand for the current status quo litany, what side-effects do you envision, other than better readability?

> and the current long legalese serves the people that it is meant to serve.

Does it, though? With the long-winded expensive processes favouring those with capital and punishing those with none into unjust settlements for fear of debilitating costs? With practically requiring expensive lawyers in order to have any hope of navigating the byzantine mazes of modern law?

I was disappointed by Accuweather's "local" weather during this spate of Midwest storms. It didn't correctly tell me whether it was raining at my current position.

While I'm not the person who did this bit - there's a difference between using the API directly and using ChatGPT.

The API doesn't get run through the moderation model to check if you're asking for acceptable things or if the model is getting into 'unsafe' areas.

Fire up the playground ( https://platform.openai.com/playground ) and construct the prompt.
Alpaca is surprisingly good, but mostly because it supports the dialogue format out of the box. IME, it does not nearly replicate ChatGPT.

The money at FAANG is really hard to beat on a risk adjusted basis (though that risk factor is increasing with the layoff spree).

From a financial perspective it is much more probable to become a millionaire through a FAANG than a startup right now.
I could. I have zero attachment to places. But it would be though on my wife and daughter (who both are Swedes, I'm the only immigrant)

And not everyone is equally poor. Sweden has one of the highest number of Billionaires per capita in Europe.
In fact wealth inequality (not income inequality) is almost as high as russia.

Your source doesn't seem accurate. Swedish immigration has been decreasing for the last 7 years, it is now back at the same level as 2012 but it was increasing every year since the mid 90s before that at was at its peak in 2016.

No, it's more of a conspiracy fact.
I think that Bitcoin is an absurd waste of time and effort, but if I had hundreds of millions of dollars worth of it floating around, of course I’m going to sell it.
I usually find that “obvious” reasoning is very often wrong, especially when politically contentious.

You could look at countries with higher rates of immigration (say my own country New Zealand at 30% immigrants, compared against Sweden with 20%, although NZ immigrants are often middle-class from culturally compatible English countries). Switzerland has 30% immigrants. https://wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sovereign_states_and_depe...

You can sometimes find good articles with facts that help define the point you are trying to make.

This is kinda weird. It's not illegal to be an asshole. You also don't want to live in a country where it's illegal to be an asshole. You also don't want to live in a country where everyone is constantly an asshole.

What are you actually asking for here? Have you thought through the implications of what you're saying here?

The way we normally deal with assholes is we shame them. But then there's people like you saying we can't expect anything better from certain kinds of assholes. Well, yeah, when you tell an asshole to keep on being an asshole, what do you expect.
Made me think of pizza pockets, which are little calzones maybe 6x the size of pizza pops, and only available in Canada. I think they are better than pizza pockets, pizza pops and bagel bites.
Interesting…

How will I make a return on my investment, and when?

Under the terms of our Series B, our (pre-money) valuation is $585M. If we have a successful exit in the future (like an IPO, merger, or acquisition) for more than that amount, you’ll see a return on your investment. Since we’re selling the same class of stock we sold to venture capitalists in our Series B, you’ll get paid out at the same time that they do.

The article sounds like it’s beating the drum for a co-op, but it’s actually a quasi stock offering that only pays out on exit.
there is no first pancake problem if you only use your griddle for pancakes, that comes from having to use a pancake to get off whatever horrible things you've put on there in between uses. (and btw, your eggs will cook much easier if you dedicate an egg pan)

325's a good number but I prefer a 350 to 375 with a little urgency, it better gets that "deep fried crispy" around the outside, and stops the already flipped side from just getting steamed to death.
sadly, the number is much greater than 1

I think the key is that these startups aren't competing with SpaceX, but are rather SpaceX-adjacent.

There is also a uniqueness to the industry that SpaceX operates in, in that everyone is basically the US government, or the US government with a layer of paint. SpaceX isn't exactly going to sue the hand that feeds it, even if it's wearing a Boeing-logo glove.
The mindset matters imo. Someone who worked their a$$ off to accumulate wealth has a totally different perspective to life compared to someone who won lottery.
I wouldn't comply with either.

However, I think the venn diagram of people who are capable of manipulating someone to kill themself and simultaneously willing to knowingly do so barely intersects (high functioning sociopaths). Even if the limited number of them worked 24/7, their impact would be minimal.

AI on the other hand has no morals, or can trivially be programmed to not have morals and can scale infinitely. An AI can fairly easily make a facially reasonable argument that mass suicide is a net positive for the planet.
An A.I. 'Pause.' Is a Bad Idea and Won't Work Anyway
Government does not actually “do” the executive action in everything. But government is a rough and messy consensus on the set of rules and constraints within which the “specific people doing concrete actions” act. Large scope actions that impact the public need to be within such rules and constraints. Historically CEO’s of large corporations have quite often acted so as to ignore said rules and constraints primarily for rapid aggregation of monopolistic power and concomitant profit. There is harm from monopolistic power in new and emerging industries hence government action via enforcement of rules and constraints is important. Individuals eg in the office of the AG may be the “specific people doing concrete actions” but they do it on behalf and with the full power and authority of the US Govt which acts through “specific people doing concrete actions”. It’s not an either or.
> It's a convention, in the ComicCon sense

This is a common way people use to rationalise it. But how do you think decisions are made when there is group of people where each one has a part to play to execute a policy? The word you are looking for is a meeting. People meet, discuss, share concerns and agree plan. At this level, this is not something you can do over a Zoom call as you don't know who may be in the room and there are other security risks to consider.
So they organise ComicCon, in a semi-open fashion. After all, what pleb like me and you can do about it?

Even if you write online, like I do, you can see I am getting dismissed, often ridiculed and often ad hominem follow as well.

They can totally do it and there is nothing people can do about it, so they don't even have to hide that much.
