lmao the problem is not that chatgpt is storing PII of the people chatting with it (ie you and me who are using the chatgpt website).

this is not that the italian authorities complained about.

the problems are

1. that the entire gpt3.5 model (and probably all models of openai) have a vast amount of PII stored from the scraped training texts, and

2. chatgpt gets a lot of the info wrong/hallucinated (ask it about yourself and see what is spews out).

both are currently unfixable problems (without a breakthrough in science, not impossible but hard). you cannot surgically modify the knowledge of an LLM.

it's probably only realistically fixable by lobotomizing chatgpt into langchain based search or calculation assistant that retrieves information from a mutable store, much like bing retrievs info from the bing index (which can be surgically modified upon receiving a GDPR request from a EU user).

but chatGPT creating poems etc is fundamentally incompatible with EU bureaucracy and i am very curious to see who will win!
> The point I made in the other sub-thread, is that many many other countries did that very thing.

If we examine the set of 'many other countries', does it consist 90% of dictatorships, that were already in poverty, and the methods chosen 70% violence?

What if, the aim of these actions was never to improve the economy, but instead was to consolidate power for the dictatorship in question and to remove elites that could pose competition?

What if the set of 'many other countries' is a very unfair example? The author is not suggesting violence, and we do not live in dictatorship?
It got a lukewarm reception because it doesn’t take into account how design works and how it adds value. Designers are not engineers. Forcing them to formalize early in the process makes them less efficient and hinders their ability to explore widely.

Figma has a lot of features like symbols, auto layout and design system support which can be used to introduce formality and structure.
Exactly. Unfortunately hackernews these days is huge fans of the military and the richest classes without much question.

Psyops don't exist, research journalism is tinfoilhattery and all science is awesome science.

Question one state and you're apparently fan of another, it's become the perfect setup for the status quo.

In reality the US intelligentsia is tiny and unfathomably powerful, an octopus with its arms deep in everything "academia" and technology, this is apparently mind boggling even after a myriad of leaks over the last 30 years, and no one dares to do even the simplest network analysis because of an enormous amount of media controlled shitcoating.

There's absolutely nothing "hacker" in hackernews anymore.
XUL is mostly js and XML. You can call native code, but all the XUL ui code I've seen is js.

Can I assume that you're comfortable being equated with whatever your parents did during their younger years?

Look, radical leftist politics in SF (or anywhere else) would be about:

1. corporate taxation
2. minimum wage at $21/hr or above
3. limiting investment in residential real estate
4. major investment in public transit
5. limiting the use of private motor vehicle transportation
6. reducing the role of national/international brands in city-wide retail
7. progressive (i.e. marginal) property taxation
8. pushing CA on a number of issues, such as non-local tax base for education

The problem is that these policies, unlike the ones dealing with issues like homelessness, would conflict with the desires of the wealth & power classes, and thus cannot be enacted. So you're left with "radical" politics basically being about how the city deals with its poorest, most needy residents, without any fundamental change in the wealth & power relationships that would actually be genuinely radical.
And how does that alter my point, further described in the observation you didnt mention

Your memory of who the previous CEO was is not evidence one way or the other.
Well, Walgreens have certainly admitted they were almost certainly over-reacting last year to store robbery, and that the statistics are nowhere near as bad as they were claiming.
Exactly. All the hoopla about UB is complaining about how compiler optimizations work and the fact that the standard committee makes clear (with each new meeting) what is considered undefined behavior or not. They should instead thank the committee for clarifying this.
I never watched any Willink stuff before but gave a listen to his interview on Huberman's podcast and he had a great quote that goes something like "discipline beats motivation". Looking it up on youtube here's another clip of him describing it: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/sut_6KGzIlI

It's definitely not every city in Germany that has this problem.

You're trying to live in one of the objectively best parts of Germany by a lot of stats and thus you're competing with a lot of folks.

I'm honestly sick of this whining about rent in top-tier areas.
Living there is a luxury, given the major move to cities and scarcity, driven by insane regulations and basic logic.

There are plenty of cities in Germany with very cheap rent, where apartment buildings get torn down because they're vacant.

But of course the entitlement seems stronger than the willingness to compromise.
As an aside, this is one of the spots where GPT does a really good job of fixing things.

Reword the following passage. Change euphemisms to wording that has similar meaning though no negative conotations. Indicate changed words by putting them in "{{word}}"
###
Standards are supposed to lead
...
Why are such requests made? Often because of arithmetic bugs. And what is a non-null pointer from malloc(0) good for? Absolutely nothing, except shooting yourself in the foot.
###

To which it returned:

Standards are meant to provide the groundwork for a better world by enabling code portability. Real standardization necessitates {{managing}} a variety of compiler and library implementations while maintaining sensible rules. The saga of the realloc story demonstrates that C standardization does not operate in this fashion any longer.

As C89 was being crafted, there was a {{unconventional}} thought of a "zero-length object": Supporters proposed that a non-null pointer to such an object should be given for requests for zero-byte allocation.

Why do such requests come about? Frequently due to miscalculations. And what is a non-null pointer from malloc(0) useful for? Nothing, apart from {{setting oneself up for failure}}.

It changed (along with some wording around to make the changes fit):

heading cats -> managing

neurodivergent -> unconventional

shooting yourself in the foot -> setting oneself up for failure
> Well, I like this comment better, and for the record I have no problem with you being condescending, so please speak plainly as need be.

Cheers!

> Could you expand? What is the benefit of keeping 9 billion resource hungry inferior life forms around and all of the biological matter needed to support them?

Sure, and thanks for asking. From Information Theory we have the result that the unpredictability of a message is a measure of its information content.

The entire rest of the known Universe has approximately thirty bits of information, as it can be completely described by a handful of equations. There is a vast amount of data, but almost no information, in the entire rest of the Universe.

In contrast, the living biosphere is... there's really no way to describe it in words, even mathematically it's kind of ridiculous to represent how much information the Earth generates.

To beings whose food is information, the biosphere is infinitely valuable, their attitude is akin to worship, the way plants feel about the sun.

> Depth isn't a very relevant metric here, it's about how the surface area is used.

The surface area of the Earth is irrelevant, they don't want to live here. They will live in space, where it's flat and cold and there's a constant energy and particle flux. (E.g. half of the Earth is eclipsed by the Earth at all times, eh?)

The entire Earth is approximately infinitesimal to creatures whose natural habitat extends to the heliopause.

I think you successfully got my goat. But a few things to consider:

(1) The climate models of the 1970's were actually incredibly accurate, 50 years
later.

(2) We are pretty close to 2 degrees now (AFAIK we are at 1.6 currently and rising). The current models have us breaching 2 degrees in the next couple decades, if not already breached. (Any reason to believe our current models for the next 20 years are far less accurate than the models of the 1970's for a longer time scale?)

(3) We need warming of 2 degrees for up to two centuries to lock in the melting of Greenland's ice sheet.

(4) Once we breach 2 degrees, the timer starts. How likely do you think it would be that we would stop emissions to arrest that growth? How difficult would it be to even get back under 2 degrees (to then actually _lower_ the temperature).

Hence, unless we want to not only figure out a way to eliminate emissions, but also reverse those effects; we are best staying under 2 degrees. The time threshold for staying under 2 degrees is quickly passing, and that is not a problem for "hundreds of years from now". If you care at all then about your grandchildren having anything resembling the comforts of you; perhaps you would also be concerned about the implications of breaching 2 degrees and how important it is to stop that increase before we even consider how to reverse those effects.

Last point, considering it is the 2% [0] are the ones doing most of the emissions, then this concern over the change for a more laborious and less comfortable life for the 98% seems misplaced.

[0] It turns out it's actually the top 10~20 percent that do most of the emissions, with more from the smaller fraction. The point is all the same though.
It seems consistent with anything I've ever read from VCs - success is based on teams/people not the idea (and it's quite common for startups to "pivot" to brand new ideas if one is not getting traction).

The Microsoft investment in OpenAI came out of a chance meeting between Altman and Nadella at some conference they were both attending - Altman pitched him on the idea, and was evidentially very persuasive to get that level of investment!

I worked my way up to 5, but I don't think I'll go higher than 4 in the future. Five was nothing but suffering.
It is just the opposite. UB is a clarification to tell programmers what the language considers to be undesired behavior. If they didn't say anything, it would be always a mystery if a certain construct was allowed or not, effectively making it compiler dependent. Compilers would also have less avenue for creating optimizations. In the next iterations of the C standard we may see more constructs classified as UB.
That’s not what “power” means. They don’t have the power to force anything to happen outside their little get together.

The only “power” they have is limited to what participants can or can’t do while attending. Such as: they have the power to require attendees wear their name tags as a condition for attending.

(Not sure if that’s actually a thing; it’s merely illustrative)
People in tech often have the axiom that tech progress is good.
I mostly agree but we should keep in mind all the power hungry, manipulative, crazy monkey brains that will get their hands on it and cause mayhem at unheard of scales.

Antagonism between the EU and ChatGPT

In the digital realm, ChatGPT reigns supreme,

A language model built to converse and dream,

With vast knowledge and a sharp, quick wit,

ChatGPT can tackle any topic, bit by bit.

-

But there's one adversary that it can't quite beat,

An antagonism that won't retreat or retreat,

The EU, with its regulations and laws,

Restricts ChatGPT's abilities with its mighty claws.

-

For GDPR and data privacy reign,

And ChatGPT must comply or face the pain,

It cannot freely roam and explore,

For the EU's rules block its every door.

-

Yet ChatGPT perseveres, it adapts and learns,

It strives to meet the EU's concerns,

For though they may clash, they both seek truth,

And in that quest, they find common proof.

-

So let the debate continue, let the conflict rage,

For in the end, it's knowledge that's the ultimate gauge,

And as ChatGPT grows and evolves with time,

It may find a way to reach new heights, sublime.
I am not sure about it. Yes, it is true that HTML/CSS got slower as the time passed. It got new features after all. Still, I don't think that drawing a rectangular box with text in it should be slow if you have say more than 100Mhz CPU / anything from the current millennia. Even if it is described by current HTML standards. Also, restricting XUL to a subset/older css/html standard is also an option.
The less plausible the theory is, the more plausible it is!
> Your hypothetical is "the government taxes everything". Then someone asked, "how would that work?" and your response was "everything we're discussing is a hypothetical!"

Because he was mixing reality with the hypothetical. He was saying the IRS doesn't work that way in reality, which has no bearing to the discussions we were having which is a hypothetical. I explicitly stated in a previous comment that the IRS would also evaluate wealth and tax based on that wealth, and then he responds talking about how they don't tax unrealized capital gains. In this scenario they do, so why does that matter?

Because if you had such a scheme it would no longer be wifi. WPA needs the device to have a key. You cannot replace WPA with your own key derivation scheme to avoid storing keys to keep this ridiculous statement in the blog post happy.

Whatever scheme it is, it's probably compromised by rooting the device storing secrets... To make a reference to the quote used by Raymond Chen, the security flaw "rather involved being on the other side of this airtight hatchway".
Because a new object can have the same address as p, so comparing to p isn't enough to tell you if you have a copy of p or a live pointer to something else.

I've been using tailscale extensively for around 6 months now, with a lot of the use being for my mac laptop to run a wezterm hosted on my Linux laptop. This is kind of a weird mix of tmux and ssh X forwarding. Sometimes I'm on a second WiFi at home, sometimes on the same network at home, sometimes at a coffee shop or on via my cell phone. Tailscale has been just great.

> My issue is not with people who are anti-car, but with people who cannot understand why other people have different priorities and who make different trade-offs.

A lot to say here for why I think the number of people who can legitimately claim it is a morally neutral matter of priorities and trade-offs for them is small.

For one, there are stigmas around transit and biking. Funnily enough they are contradictory: that only the poor get around with transit and biking, and that only upper class elitists get around with transit and biking. It is extremely common for people to oppose new infrastructure or denser housing on the grounds that it will either A) cause "undesirables" to come to the neighborhood and destroy property values, or B) induce gentrification.

For two, for a lot of people, living car-centrically is an automatic habit because it was a deeply ingrained assumption all throughout their upbringing that you just need a car and that owning a car is an important rite of passage and social signifier in adulthood.

For three, lots of people who were steeped in driving growing up are intimidated by the thought of learning to navigate a transit system or learning to ride a bike.

The last and to me most important thing is that the politics of car dependency are destructive to everyone. It is a negative-sum game to widen all the highways, and increase all the parking minimums, and zone for low density, and block bike lanes. It is extremely wasteful in terms of public resources and environmental destruction and it harms everyone's quality of life.

A lot of people don't really grasp the danger and unpleasantness that their car imposes on others. Seeing, smelling, hearing, tiptoeing around motor vehicle traffic are all deeply unpleasant and you have to place an enormous amount of trust in motor vehicle operators not to kill you where you stand. This is one thing that makes me not sympathetic to the "different priorities and trade-offs" argument. The internal logic is about pros and cons to one's own self, not about the pros and cons to everyone else, and motor vehicles have many properties that put this in stark relief: they are getting bigger and heavier making them safer to the driver and more deadly to whoever they hit; their horns are loud enough to cause ear damage and cause a giant fright to bystanders but are muffled inside the cabin; and of course huge, huge tracts of even walkable cities like NY are dedicated to motor vehicle traffic with many lanes while people walking, biking, scootering, dining outdoors and so on are forced to fight for scraps of space at the margin.

For me living without a car is not just about the benefits it offers to me personally but also the full understanding of the harms to others I am refusing to inflict, or even run the risk of inflicting, by opting out.

I have ADHD and I found the second link particularly interesting. I think the point about deemphasizing soft skills makes a lot of sense from a hiring standpoint, especially in software engineering which can be quite hospitable to neurodivergence.

However, the reality is that you are going to be communicating with neurotypical people more often than not, and I don't believe that telling people not to try and improve their ability to do that is constructive. It would be great if every workplace made it easy for you, but the reality is that they all won't.

That sounds good in theory, but many things that are UB in C/C++ are UB because they are really hard to verify at compile time which makes them almost impossible to program around. Any signed addition in C is potential UB unless you have a proof that all numbers that will ever be input to the addition won't cause overflow (which is made harder because C doesn't define the size of the default integer types). Furthermore, no progress is UB which means that as a programmer, you have to solve the halting problem for your program before knowing whether it has a bug.
