The aspirational american city is not the extremes like NYC or SF. It's the verdancy of places like Charleston, New Orleans, Ashville, ... That kind of gentle density and mixed use are wonderful city environments that much more than 25% of people would want to live in. And which is achievable in pretty much any neighborhood build before WW2, if only we allowed for it.

I have played regularly with a group of friends for years now both in person and online. They're slightly less hardcore.

This heavily reminds me of old Microsoft's COM's QueryInterface approach, which acted basically the same: interfaces/traits were types. Your code would be like:

CDisplayInterface* louis = NULL;
HRESULT hr = friend.Friend("Louis")->QueryInterface(CLSID_DISPLAYINTERFACE, &louis)
CheckError(hr)
io.println(louis->format(DisplayOptions(...)))

basically the same thing as Gleam does, but more verbose and without all that safety.

(I think anyone advocating "going back to basics" would benefit from actually going back to basics and spending some time on those systems. I hope I will never have to touch COM in my life again, but my experience working with it was very helpful. GLib/GObject and Linux VFS are other class-like technologies which are worth experimenting with)

I see the fall of the American empire the same way as the end of Moore’s law, in that I’ve been reading about their imminent demise since I was a kid.

If it works like ChatGPT does, then I would find it a greater mental burden. You'd have to carefully craft what you're telling it, or engage in a conversation of some sort, instead of just hitting a couple of buttons or turning a dial.
At work, I've never felt like it mattered one way or the other. If a colleague's ego is too big then THAT's the problem, not who is or isn't smart. I've never found all that much correlation between how smart someone is and how they handle their ego, sadly.

There is little evidence that she ever spent much time at her official address. Living in remote villas, as she mostly did, and simply going by "Madame Calment", as she apparently also mostly did, few would have paid attention to her given name or any discrepancy between that and official records.

In the SCAS/CMPS annotated microcode, the path with the R DS microinstruction is for CMPS, not SCAS.

SCAS compares AX against [ES:DI] while CMPS compares [DS:SI] against [ES:DI], so the paragraph before is slightly incorrect (should be "SCAS compares against the character in the accumulator, while CMPS reads the comparison character from SI").
Some options:

1. (Sum of total output) / (Count of engineers)

2. CS grad with a "B" GPA, 3 years experience, 1 year on the team

3. 50th percentile of all engineers

That's wild given that Go makes it harder to read a whole file than read a block at a time.
I'm not sure it will. I always thought coding was hard. But I came to conclusion writing is harder.

But it could also be that they are reinforcing gpt by senior devs.

But the writing in some cases maybe reinforced by "normal" people.
Interesting that they chose to go for 34 separate counts of the same thing, falsifying business records in the first degree. It seems to me that the punishment for a crime should be proportional to the amount of damage done, and how many checks one wrote seems to me like it could be less important than, say, the total dollar amount, or the duration of time that the falsification(s) took place, or the number of things that were concealed. I am curious if anyone knows the different approaches that prosecutors have taken in various states over the years, what the statutory and case law says, etc. I imagine a lot of the judgment calls in these situations are left to the judge and/or jury.
> Glad that we finally acted on that lesson and got allied.

The first ally of Finnland after the winter war was Nazi Germany.

So it is actually the second try to find allies for Finnland against Russia.
Also, it has no concept of the present. Its output is stateless unless you give it a memory. In most cases, the memory is just a memory of one interaction. It “exists” as millions of independent chat sessions, not having knowledge of each other. That is not the same as consciousness as we experience it.
I can totally see this under the context of having kids, makes complete sense. Glad it works for you!
I said that "I think we are a few breakthroughs away from something could pass as AGI". That means, first, that I don't think we're there and so I don't consider chatgpt AGI, and second that even something that "passes" as AGI at first glance might not necessarily be so under close inspection.

But at the same time, I won't call what chatgpt is doing parroting. It's not just repeating input data as-is, at least it's capable of applying some transformations on that data. Most of the time the transformation is useful, occasionally it's pretty borked. Parroting to me would be just repeating the training data without much transformation.

> it quite literally have no understanding of what it writes

Even though I DON'T think gpt AGI, I don't consider that a deciding factor. Humans can also show no understanding of what we write or read, and I consider us "GI".

It's even worse - in English, "psionics" would be normally pronounced something like /saɪˈon.ɪks/.

Generally speaking, the Great Vowel Shift did quite a number on anything originally Latin or Greek.
The people who want to wax philosophical about AI generally have no idea how it works or what it’s capable of. People working in the area do know that (ok Mr pedant, the weights themselves are a black box, what is being modeled isn’t) and aren’t concerned. You can’t really have productive conversations between the two because the first group has too much to learn. The internet as a concept is comparatively simpler and we all know how clumsy governments are with it.

What people should certainly think about is how AI will impact the world and what safeguards we need. Right now it looks like automation is coming for some more jobs, and we might get an AI output spam problem requiring us to be even more careful and skeptical on the internet. People scared of changes they don’t personally understand aren’t going to ever be able to suggest meaningful policies other than banning things.
Wow, that’s pretty aggressive but if it works, I guess it works.

Reminds me of some friends that work third shift, and they’re working through nights and sleeping during the day and I don’t get how they pull it off.
Steam engines and their descendants largely replaced the jobs which were done by horses and mules, and they did that successfully - there are some jobs for horses still remaining, and initially many new jobs were created for horses in cooperation with the engines (peak-horse was at 1920-0ish), but the total number of jobs for horses has collapsed to nearly zero compared to what it used to be.

So the analogy of steam engines suggests that this can be quite dangerous indeed.

Also, we do have historical evidence at how fast human society reacts to changes when technology causes great shifts in needed jobs - not fast at all. Even getting to terms with decades-long changes caused significant social upheaval and strife, as in, for example, the automation of textile industry; If the current speed of technological change would cause a disruption in jobs which happens over the course of just a few years, it will be hectic and violent even if there is the same number of new, different jobs created.
In other words, with higher density comes more crime. Blue and red have zero to do with it.

It’s not just that it’s a big spend, but it’s a big spend on something 75% of people don’t use even if you did it.

The enduring popularity of these articles on hacker news just shows a demographic bias. Sure if you are young and live in San Francisco or New York City, this might seem reasonable. But for the other 80% of America, who are old enough that simply falling off of a bike could cause real injuries, or live somewhere not dense enough to really get anywhere this way, or don’t want to ride a bike in the snow, especially in a city that may not be particularly great at removing it (which is almost all but the biggest of them) we’ll still take our cars thank you.

Cars may be environmentally awful, but they’re great in basically every other way, so let’s just electrify them and build lots of new clean energy and stop trying to make everyone ride a bike.

Looking at things from a world political point of view the right comparison has always been of America to Athens. Thomas Paine said that "what Athens was in miniature, America will be in magnitude", and he wasn't wrong. The Persians and the Spartans were like the CCP and the USSR, while Athens was like the U.S., the Delian League was like NATO, Athens making Delian League members contribute ships and oarsmen or tribute being not too unlike the U.S. demanding that NATO members spend a certain percentage of GDP on their militaries, Sparta was a super-slave power, but Athens also had slavery, just nowhere near as bad as Sparta and of a fairly different character, etc.

In the end Sparta allied with the Persians to defeat the Athenians and thence Athens was a superpower no more. Then the Thebans wiped the Spartans from the face of the Earth. Then the Alexander and his Macedonians wiped the Thebans from the face of the Earth, and that was the end of ancient Greece and the beginning of the Hellenistic period.

The analogies to the Peloponnesian wars aren't great if you pick nits about the order of events (Athens and Sparta fought the Persians before they fought each other, but the U.S. fought the USSR and we're in a sort of cold war with the CCP now), but otherwise the resemblance it's truly uncanny. Not that it helps predict the future, mind you, but that so far the resemblance is something else.

The problem is most of us have enough clues on our primary accounts that it wouldn't look great badmouthing our employer to the degree I'm about to.

I regularly feel disgust at some of the decisions I see the OS and other consumer product teams roll out. It makes the company look bad, and I believe hurts our long term best interest by cheapening our product and brand, let alone the ethical perspective of dark pattern or depriving users control over their own devices.

I know of no way to turn these off short of using an older version of Windows. I think some of the enterprise releases may have ways to create local accounts, but they may still hit this, I'm not familiar with that side of the world. If there is third party software to mitigate this I encourage it. If this drives you to linux I encourage and am encouraged by it. If you pirate out of protest I encourage it. Consolidation and other related factors in the OS marketplace have rendered consumers with very little real leverage, and this is not a state of affairs I am happy with.

To guess's point, I can also say that I know of no coworkers happy with this or who have any power to impact this state of affairs. I am not in the OS org, but I would be surprised if it were any different there. To put it crudely, incentives are a bitch.

Same here. I switched to a very low glycemic diet and I've gone from 193 to 181 in less than 2 weeks with very little effort. Note -- reading the research on the damage of glucose spikes over a prolonged period of time (read: years) has made it easy for me to want to avoid sugar and "white" carb. Going low glycemic has required little to no willpower on my part; i've found a way to turn my hypochondria/anxiety into a helpful/beneficial thing. I suggest reading "Glucose Revolution" (yes, the title makes me cringe, and it's written on an 8th grade level) -- it contains lots of easy tricks for lowering glucose spikes that work, even for people that aren't compelled to adopt a super duper low glycemic diet like me.

To post in the WWTBH thread, you need to share your contact info, and probably some information about yourself, so it can't be an anon account.

Which means, if you're employed and looking elsewhere, you have to be comfortable with your employer potentially discovering your eye is wandering. Which I for one, definitely wouldn't want to do right now.

So I imagine the WWTBH posts are really just the tip of the iceberg (there may be more than one employed person looking for every unemployed one that feels comfortable posting there)

Compared to the Who is Hiring posts which companies have no reason to be concerned about posting (well, maybe if they're simultaneously laying off and pretending that they need to reduce headcount when it's really about reducing the average wage)
Agreed. To start I'm thinking of cross-referencing this with a list of the top 10M most popular websites and dropping anything not on the list. If you have any insight into dealing with common crawl data (or better data sources) I'd love to hear it.
Anything less than $10M would be wholly inappropriate for the moment. I’m shocked it wasn’t much more. Surely this will be followed by $100M within months. Rarely has there been a field of technology that has moved as rapidly as LLMs are in the last two months.

>Amphetamines and methamphetamine are closely related.

So are ethanol (vodka) and methanol (poisonous fuel). The difference is exactly the same - one methyl group (CH3).

(Or, rather, not see for yourself, given the side effects of methanol poisoning).
