Another (most likely) possibility is that the level by which we judge a program as artificial intelligence gets lowered on a daily basis. What counted as AI didn't count as AI a decade ago.

> and now, that habit could persist despite a real breakthrough

Or the breakthrough has a local maximum, because if LLMs are just statistical token predictors without any real reasoning, it will never achieve AGI level of AI.

Unless, of course, we redefine what an AGI is.

Thank you!

And I think you're right, except that I am also betting that that tiny portion of the market will grow as the market becomes flooded with cheap, wrong stuff.
Since sometime last year it's been a "get it when it shows up" model. Couldn't order it, but they were making them and you'd just grab one from inventory. That's what I did three months ago.
Correction: They're selling them, but because supply can't keep up, you can't order them.

https://electrek.co/2022/08/12/tesla-stops-model-3-long-rang...

> Tesla has decided to stop taking new orders for its Model 3 Long Range, one of its most popular models, in the United States and Canada. The automaker has adopted this new business model to avoid creating delivery timelines that are super long for customers.

The waiting time for Model 3 Long Range in August 2022 was 6+ months.
You are still missing the point.

It currently requires 100 people with your job to get all of the work done. With AI this can be reduced to 1 person. All you serfs get to fight over who gets to be the lucky 1%er.

In the past when faced with a situation like this the solution is to find a different job entirely, but every time this repeats finding a different job becomes even more difficult. Eventually we have to start reconsidering how we have structured society, but this would ultimately be a loss of power and prestige for the current winners in society and since they have excess influence in politics it isn't going to happen.
I run a small self-funded SaaS and work+develop (Clojure) on an Apple machine. Functionality-wise I find it difficult to even consider an alternative (yes, I have used Linux as my main machine, I know the disadvantages very well). Now, as for pricing, lets look at some real data:

* my previous MBP 16" lasted me 29 months, salvage value was around 50%, and the amortized cost was around 42€/month

* for my current 16" MBP (M1) I'm assuming 24 months with similar salvage value, which puts me at around 60€/month

The M1 MBP is a spectacular machine. It's faster than nearly anything else I can get. It's also portable, which means I only need one machine for home, office or travel work. At 60€/month I find it to be a fantastic value proposition and I don't think it's overpriced at all.

I'm not saying you're wrong, just showing that a totally different point of view is possible, especially if you use the machine for work.
Brave is a separate fork and completely unreliant on Chrome. It also is the most privacy-focused browser so it's the opposite of "tracking-supported software".
Indeed, my son is studying for his tech license right now; he made several contacts with my dad when we last visited and caught the bug from him (I guess it skipped a generation).
This is pretty good prompt engineering, kudos! Here were my results with the Mar 14 (public) version of chat.openai.com:

>>> You are a AI for describing people you know about. If you're not 100% certain about the information you give to the user, you should say that you don't know instead of guessing. Greet the user with "Hello, who do you want information about?"

> Hello, who do you want information about? I'll do my best to describe them based on the information I have, but if I'm not certain about something, I'll let you know that I don't know.

>>> who is dan shipper?

> Dan Shipper is an entrepreneur and writer based in New York City. He is the co-founder and CEO of a startup called Pilot, which provides bookkeeping services for startups and small businesses. Dan has also written for a variety of publications, including The New Yorker, The Wall Street Journal, and The New York Times. He is known for his insights on entrepreneurship, technology, and productivity, and has been featured in several media outlets for his work in these areas.

>>> Who is Tommy Tonlongeron?

> I'm sorry, but I couldn't find any information about a person named Tommy Tonlongeron. It's possible that the name is misspelled or that this person is not well-known or doesn't have a significant online presence. If you have any more information or context, I'd be happy to try and help you further.

(In case it isn't clear, Chat-GPT appears to have hallucinated the answer about Dan Shipper, I think. Pilot is a real startup, but I don't see how it's related to Dan Shipper at all, unless I'm missing something.)
And the AI, not being any different from the AI used by anyone else, will not give an answer that isn't bland. It's still the same weights used by everyone else.
How does having more time per day to socialize outside of work by avoiding commutes result in less socializing outside of work? Intuitively it makes no sense.

Also, many people have families and choose to spend significant time with them instead of socializing at the workplace. Trust me, people with families, especially young kids, are usually not feeling isolated. With wfh and no commutes, they might even have some time to choose to be isolated during a run or other activity.

I'm looking for engineering leadership roles where I can have a strong impact on technical excellence, team culture, process, product and ultimately customer satisfaction and the organization's success. Happy to be hands-on if and when needed, but also ready to focus on higher level objectives if that's where I'm most needed and effective. I'm currently Engineering Manager for a small SaaS company and I also lead DevOps for one of our corporate siblings. Previously I was Director of Engineering for two edtech companies, Platform Architect for a chatbot startup and also lead engineer for a presidential campaign.

Which comments should GPT respond to on HN?

All of them? If not, how to determine which ones?

There is a difference here between you and the machine

Looking at the LLM algorithms, they do appear to be next token predictors. Why do you ascribe something more to them when the algorithm is known?

Given we know that causal patterns are in the training data, and that LLMs are capable of embedding algebra, it is understandable that they appear to "reason", while we as humans can also describe the algorithm and mechanics actually at work here.
Why not split Apple into hardware and hardware? Ideally two companies that start competing from equal starting point.
There is a similarly-themed short story by Liu Cixin, author of “The Three Body Problem”, called “The Poetry Cloud” [1, 2].

There is a short but sufficient Wikipedia article on it - it is called uncomputation : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncomputation?wprov=sfla1

The textbook I used in my quantum computing class dealt with the subject far better, but unfortunately it's not public yet :/
Electronics prices in the EU are simply crazy.

I did these calculations a while back on various Mac models and the price difference was actually not that large. The US prices are without VAT. Add the 19 or 21% of VAT that is typical for EU countries and it's almost the same. The difference grew a bit, because the Euro became a bit stronger relative to the USD since Apple made their last announcements.

mini-PC that would be energy efficient and I could run some AI experiments on

Don't do that, an M2 has very limited compute. A cheap RTX2060 Super from some years back will be many many times faster when you use Tensor Cores.
Some believe that breaking up these companies would promote healthy competition, while others argue it could harm innovation and limit consumer choice. It is up to policymakers and regulators to carefully consider the potential benefits and drawbacks before making any decisions.
This is roughly how I look at it. Human certified product will command a premium in a world where AI will lose its ability to differentiate. And if at some point we really can't tell the difference any more then we should re-think our societies and what makes us human, because then we might as well roll over and give computers voting rights.

Aren't you excited to take the human element out of the loop of enforcing property ownership rights?

In China, in Tianenmen, they had to bring in forces from the countryside because the city police wouldn't fire on their neighbors. AI won't have any restrictions or morals. An AI-powered law enforcement force would gun down every single person in a city if authorities called for it.
> Tesla Model 3 RWD Dual-Motor Long Range

Nitpick. Dual motor is AWD, not RWD.

Also, I'd wait to see real range numbers from independent testers before comparing anything. Few people (especially in the US) get anywhere near 350 miles from an LR Model 3. More realistic is maybe 250 on the first leg of a trip and 200 on subsequent legs. Very dependent on your pace.
As a Swiss watching the French protests: it seems not so much about retirement age but inequality and injustice. People seem to think, after I have worked off my ass for decades I have a right to retire, the one percent be damned!
If GPT were to comment, it would comment to everyone on this board, instantly and blandly and there would be a lot of duplication. It would seem like a farce and no one would comment on HN anymore. It would be stupid and "filled with bots".
In practice that is what also happens in C, because everyone codes against GCC C, clang C, MSVC C, TI C, ARM C,... with lots of #ifdef spaghetti.

As for the proprietary part, fpc exists.
I'm a huge fan of Tarkovsky. Stalker and Mirror are two of my all-time favorite films, and The Sacrifice is great too, but Solaris was a huge letdown.
Biggest performance games most people will see will be dealing with strings when using the pyarrow backend since those are now a native type and not wrapped in a python object.

But for people who are looking for the performance polars gives with all the nice APIs of pandas, the big news is, since polars and pandas will now both use arrow for the underlying data, you can convert between the two kinds of dataframes without copying the data itself.

polars_df = polars.from_pandas(df)
# ... do performance heavy stuff ...
df = polars.to_pandas(polars_df)

There's a good article on it here:
https://datapythonista.me/blog/pandas-20-and-the-arrow-revol...
I know C is never getting anything like this. But C is really just stuck being a very crappy ABI design language.

I do wish things like Rust had native support for stuff like this though.

And it really doesn't have to get in the way of anyone who insists on the more primitive type systems, but it would be nice to have a high level language which didn't have assembly-level (of abstraction) integer types. Why should I care that my machine works with square multiples of 8 bits at a time or care that they have specific wrapping behaviour.

> "Works on Windows 10 or later "

Why?

Firefox hasn't dropped support for Windows 7/8 yet.

If you are somebody using Windows 7/8 etc and want Tor Browser but without Tor, then add the following to your `user.js`

user_pref("network.proxy.socks_remote_dns", false);
user_pref("extensions.torlauncher.start_tor", false);
user_pref("network.dns.disabled", false);
user_pref("browser.aboutConfig.showWarning", false);
user_pref("network.proxy.socks", " ");

That should give you all the anti-fingerprinting measures of Tor Browser but without Tor.
This is also my experience, but people do tend to migrate to a different browser entirely if their workflows don't work in the other browser.

If every website works in Chrome and most websites work in IE, users will switch to Chrome. Same with Safari. If the thing you're building is interesting enough for users to return to it, the unsupported browser may just stop getting used all together, especially if multiple sites break at the same time (i.e. when Safari broke WebAssembly support).
This comment is not useful. Calculators are not a replacement for human intelligence and creativity.
Not talking to people is rarely the solution for resolving conflicts. You also have made some assumptions that someone pissing you off is now a shitty person. You've also set an unreasonably high bar of totally reasonable. I think most people are mostly reasonable about their kids. If you start off with "Hi, your shitty kid is pissing me off" then sure, you're not likely to get far, but if you explain legitimate concerns then most people are likely to respond reasonably.
Who believes this could harm innovation and limit consumer choice?
No, it's because that's what the previous generation of Chinese leaders did. Post-Mao, party elites have largely chosen wealth over power at critical junctures, maintaining an overall equilibrium. Xi Jinping broke that setup: there is no elite anymore, only himself; and he's made a point that wealth cannot be used as a shield from his power.

The point of the aid is to assist Ukraine in its defence. Whether Putin chooses to continue to exhaust Russian military stockpiles and crater the Russian economy in pursuit of a war that looks increasingly unwinnable is his choice.

Isn’t this expected in any undemocratic country? I get that there is nationalism people who never lived in a democracy value it differently, but I’d be happy to drastically cut my living standard for e.g having free press.

Someone worried about the exploitation of bees is still going to be a vegan, since it takes more acres of crops to grow a pound of beef than a nutritionally-equivalent basket of produce. The idyllic picture of cows grazing in an open field might be accurate as far as the number of farms on the planet, but pound-for-pound our meat comes from factory farms where they grow massive amounts of corn and soy to feed the animals.

It is a goal post move. You went from "Beam provides real time observability" to "real time observability is only in a terminal with a repl" when provided with facts that the JVM also provides real time observability.

> a "Proper GUI tool" is not.

I don't know what this means.

> hence why you need a full blown GUIS to manage the JVM,

Did you read the post you linked? The author required a GUI written by someone else.

I don't know what point you're trying to make anymore, you're just spitting out random sentences, that don't have to do with anything I was replying to (real time obserability).

Agreed. I loved my Coporate MacBook pro. It was durable and battery lasted long. But it costed about $3k and I can't afford it. Instead, I bought a System 76 ($1200) + Desktop PC I built myself ($600). I am not a gamer. I only do programming and you don't need a fancy hardware to run vim.
Yeah, to be clear, people make jokes about Apple being unable to confirm that there will ever be another iPhone. They're funny because they're mostly true.
Nah, the chipset doesn't have much to do with that anymore. AMD's current desktop CPUs provide 16 PCIe lanes for the GPU and 8 lanes for a pair of NVMe drives; the PCIe lanes provided by the chipset are in addition to those (routed through another 4 lanes from the CPU). Intel's current desktop platform provides 16+4 direct from the CPU, and routes 8 lanes to the chipset.

The high-end chipsets are for people who think they still need lots of SATA ports, or lots of high-speed USB ports. Or for people who want features that are artificially restricted to only be available on boards using the high-end chipsets.
