I'm not a physicist, so keeping around a good deal of reading material (not to mention seeking out a good explanation) to understand the odd reference or two seems horribly cumbersome.

Google is way lower friction, but even that requires some manual sorting through.

Seems like exactly the thing a good language model would be great at. If they can't do that, where the stakes are low and the task is exactly the domain of LLMs, then I don't see how they'd be useful for anything.
Maybe. But that AI would have to know you, specifically, very well in order to understand what you consider toxic, political, etc.

Personally, I wouldn't want such a filter at all. It would exclude me being exposed to things outside of my comfort zone. I think that would be an unacceptable loss.

Catan helped show me that board games had evolved beyond the games of my youth.

Went down a huge rabbit hole afterwards and most of my closest friends today I've met through game nights, and I've designed several games since that will eventually get out there (one is signed by a publisher but not yet released, hoping to get two more signed this year).

If not for that I'd probably still exclusively be working on video games in my spare time.

Thanks Klaus, for having such a massive influence on the hobby that the industry has had an incredible period of growth and many cool and interesting games that almost certainly wouldn't exist otherwise. RIP.

In the 90s when "Die Siedler" was released, we played it until we literally dropped due to exhaustion. :) It is still so much fun. Settlers is one of the all time classics which I guess will still be played in a 100 years.
Postres is Spanish for 'desserts', I was hoping this was an existential piece about deleting your database and eating churros instead.
Are you trying to use an actual 2D board representation in text to play? In my experience, GPT-3.5 specifically is pretty bad at tasks that require spatial reasoning, even very basic ones.
From the comments I got:

1. It was a good place to buy English books in non-English speaking countries.

2. The shipping was free (Actually, folded into the price of the book and location dependent)

3. Delivery could take anywhere between a few weeks to months.

I'm wondering if it would be viable to offer an alternative service out of India and I'm willing to try out an experiment: Post the title of a book you would have bought via Book Depository and I'll try to send it out to you for free. Just let me know when the book arrives and in what condition so as to gauge how reliable the postal network is. I don't have a budget in mind but I'd like to ship at least 5 books to different geographies.
Bohnanza is a quite remarkable game. Ruthlessly mathematical in a way that you don't need to process to play and have fun. (I like it. But I don't like to play too often or it starts to feel like work. )
The US may be the bulk of the military might backing NATO, but it’s the collectiveness of the alliance is a pretty important piece IMO. If the US were to some way be compromised, say, through a debilitating first strike (unlikely), or Trump-esque domestic factors making them unreliable, you still have a huge, powerful coalition.
I just used it to write some tests, then I implemented and it failed. It then continued to explain what my setup was missing. Regarding coding v4 is become pretty accurate. And if it makes a mistake it's able to explain what went wrong.

Regarding certain medical conditions I've asked to list the studies and explain them, it does that pretty well.

But just as talking with a human, or with googling info on a website, or with Stackoverflow, Im always assuming I need to double check it.
To be fair to Microsoft, Edge is Chromium.

The only difference between Edge and Chrome is choosing who you want your data to go to and your ads to come from: Microsoft or Google.
Or Vicuna, which hugely outperforms GPT4All due to higher quality training data (real human conversations with GPT-4).
> Uugggghhh… “maintainable way” is again super subjective.

It's not "super subjective" when something super niche like Haskell[1] is chosen.

There are pragmatic reasons to choose a tech stack, the biggest of which is "can we find people to maintain it?". If you cannot, then it's unmaintainable.

[1] That's the example that was chosen upthread.
Expensive just means that you are part of one economy and people in the city are part of another.

The important thing is to understand domains and the scope of your knowledge. For some concerns, I am the smartest person in the room. For others, I'm absolutely not.

If you persistently feel like you're the smartest person in the room, either you have an exceptionally large number of mentoring opportunities or you need to do some introspection. Almost certainly the latter.
This is why it's have to be a separate lyer from the page itself. Otherwise it would become yet more add real estate.
Not often. I prefer not to be the smartest person in the room. My colleagues are talented and intelligent and they keep me humble. If I'm the smartest person in the room, then I'm in the wrong room.
> focusing primarily on bicycles is an odd choice since a significant portion of any urban population simply cannot ride a bike.

That's not true.

Sure, in some areas the population is very unfit. But that's a problem that bikes can help with.

If you look at areas that are very bike friendly, most of the population will bike. Even the elderly.
An article behind a paywall arguing for a debate? Fantastic. I wonder who will participate and where will it be held? We need more sophistication? I agree. The least "we" could do is to get some champagne and caviar. /s

Sure, but what if they're orbiting the center charge at relativistic speeds? Now they also create a magnetic field. My guess is that somehow it ends up being dynamically stable. Also that the strong force holding the nucleus together is actually mostly magnetism.

I would also posit that just maybe there is such thing as an electrostatic black hole. When matter is accelerated gravitationally to speed c, you reach an event horizon. Same should happen if the acceleration is due to charges, but will happen at a scale similar to the size of baryons. I'd say there is a lot of room for some theoretical developments in this area.

Ask HN: Can stress resilience be chemically modulated?
I'm curious if we know of anything that can work prophylactically to alter neurochemistry and render someone resistant to psychological stress and burnout. For example, could that be done with an SSRI (even for someone who isn't depressed)? Are there other drugs out there that could in theory (safely) reduce someone's vulnerability to stress?

I'm aware of practically every lifestyle modification that might be of use here, so interested specifically in pharmacological options.

I bet most of the startups in the US are concentrated in the SF/Bay Area. Would be stupid to go build something anywhere else in the US unless you already have a strong team/defined product.
I mean, if you take San Francisco for example, there were always old RVs parked under the 13th Street overpass, disassembling piles of bicycles.

SF police just don't care at all about property crime. If you have to report a property crime for insurance purposes, they'll blame you. IMO, this directly fuels more and higher levels of crime.

If you call them out specifically on bicycle theft, they'll just shrug and say that most bike owners don't record the frame serial number. If this is the case, state law should require that the serial number be submitted to a database upon purchase, but there are obviously incentives for bike shops to push back on this idea.

That said, if you want to get a GPS tracker, the options have exploded in the last few years. They're now available concealed within normal looking taillights, or in a tubular form that can be dropped down the seat tube or inserted inside the handlebar.
Eight Things to Know about Large Language Models
> The only reason the 10+ authors (all plenty skilled in Haskell either before joining or due to working on the project) were all gone is because said senior came in and pushed them out.

Yeah, but if the stack was something common then it still wouldn't be as big a problem.
If you have a model that can read text and extract its meaning; and a model that can generate text, the work required to create a model that can generate text and then query for other texts that support its claims is not very hard.

This is, imo, such an obviously near term capability that its not worth bringing up as a limitation.
I'm training LLaMA on HN threads. We'll see how that turns out.
> I don't think the last of those is part of any progressive agenda.

At this point, "progressive" in the context of education means everything from a Montessori education, to the re-animated body of Paulo Freire teaching a critical pedagogy curriculum as he attempts to brain wash the next generation of Red Guards.

Those are two vastly different things, yet they would both be called "progressive" in today's language. Also alarmingly, the people advocating for the latter are the most likely to dress in "progressive" clothes.
Imagine a news group on explosives research, and how they felt after the nuclear explosives demonstrations in the 1940s. Probably they would have been so bored by it. Nothing but articles and discussions about nuclear explosives every day jamming up their news feed.
My parents both started college in 1939 at the age of 16. Being promoted to grades beyond your age cohort was apparently not so uncommon then.
It's surprising how you rush to warn me about this, yet don't do anything against personal attacks in the same thread!
These articles should have been appearing about three years ago.

The beauty of the EV is that most of the cost is in an inherently scalable component: the battery.

Battery makers are (currently) aligned to known form factors, and those cell form factors are pretty flexible: scooter, ebike, moped, motorcycle, side-by-side / cart, all can basically use the same cylindrical cells.

ICEs? You had a drivetrain that was specific to the platform, and that was where the cost was. EVs? You can tear out the cells from a crashed tesla and repackage them in ebikes, or grid storage, or home powerwalls. The level of flexiblity and reuse is so much higher than an ICE. Heck it can be in power banks, power tools, lawnmowers, etc.

So while the headline is the ebike, really it's the e-whatever-vehicle.
>why people go still along with it and keep using Windows.

Because Windows runs Win32.
Well, and you remember what all the registers do.

I once burned a couple hours on a microcontroller because I had transposed bits 5 & 4 on some register that dictated a certain i/o behavior and caused things to be really weird. One register out of like 11 registers that affected how that i/o operated, one bit transposed, whole thing was inscrutable.
More’s the pity, IMO. I really like Catan, but I’m not really interested in becoming a board game hipster and learning a new board game every time I play.

> Things are going to get boring, old and non-original very quickly.

I’d say they already have. I have half a mind to write a HN front end that filters out any posts with the phrases “GPT”, “LLM”, and “AI”.
I'm using it effectively to generate code. It needs coaching, but it's faster than writing out boilerplate on my own. I'm using it in a language I'm unfamiliar with (C++) and it helps me resolve my mistakes as often as I have to fill in the blanks that it leaves.

I'm giving it very specific instruction ("write a class that does this", "write a method that does this"), though often by describing what is required in terms of the complete use case, rather than the specific I/O. I haven't come up against any hallucination so far in this task - instead, it tends to leaves complex bits "as an exercise for the reader". I either code up those parts myself, or I just ask it for that specific method on it's own and dump it in.

The process feels as if I'm interviewing a job candidate and stealing their code to put in production.

Here I thought this would be an article about how (following in the footsteps of Ancient Rome) the US has hollowed out its great cities by squandering too many resources for far too long on imperialist pursuits that only benefit a tiny slice of the population.

Exactly.

> I think the better question is why people go still along with it and keep using Windows.

The reason investors and CEOs love monopolies and oligopolies so much is that they don't have to care about users, they can abuse them as much as they want.

Windows machines are the only affordable option for millions of people so they have to keep using it, no matter how much they hate Microsoft. Governments should be less tolerant of important companies that abuse their power.

> Ticket management is not busy work, it's a necessity for everyone to keep updated.

Yes and no. If I oversimplify one of the important Lean points, you can divide activity into 3 buckets: 1) value-creating, 2) necessary waste, 3) pure waste. It's important here that "value" is always measured from the customer perspective.

For example, imagine a hamburger joint. You have ordered a cheeseburger. The person at the grill cooks a patty for you, puts some cheese on it, and assembles a burger. Then somebody else walks that burger to you. Except they get distracted after they've picked it up, so they end up walking to the back before coming up to give it to you.

Making the burger is value creating. You wouldn't want a raw patty, and you want it put together right. Walking the burger to you is necessary waste, in that moving the burger does not increase its value, but we have to do it to deliver value. The little stroll to the back is unnecessary waste in that you could receive the same value without it. Make sense?

With that framework, let's think about software. Ticket management is not a value-creating activity. If I do an extra hour of ticket management, that does not guarantee increased value. At best, it's necessary waste: I just can't figure out how to get you what you want without N hours of ticket management. But quite often it's unnecessary waste, labor performed for some purpose other than customer value. For example, a lot of planning activity is about making high-status people feel important. Or part of somebody's ongoing battle for increased status. Or the downstream consequence of previous unaddressed failures causing distrust.

So can ticket management be necessary waste? Sure. But it's often pure waste. I've done whole companies with no more ticket management than you get out of a bunch of index cards on the wall. [1] And we got there by relentlessly cutting the waste of heavier processes, something that a lot of companies won't even think about, much less attempt, because there productivity is relatively unimportant.

[1] e.g.: https://williampietri.com/writing/2015/the-big-board/
There's no single answer to this.

1. You can try searching online to see if anyone has done something similar (or even remotely related), and then experiment from there.

2. Contact the respective companies behind the software to see if they can/will give any guidance.

3. Hire a programmer to figure it out for you.

4. (tied with #3) switch to different software.

I'm sorry, but without additional detail, that's the best advice that I can offer.

Abridged: Mexico’s remittances are 4.2% of GDP, coming 2nd behind India for total amount. Twelve countries in Latin America and the Caribbean get the equivalent of at least 5% of their GDP from remittances. In El Salvador, Haiti, Honduras and Jamaica these now amount to more than one-fifth of national output. This cash is some consolation for societies that have lost armies of hard-working youngsters, mostly to the United States.

Pretty simple it’s just like any abstraction. This AI will not work when nobody would deliver the answer beforehand. LLMs are given inputs of existing code. When you abstract that you better hope you have good code in it.

So my question would be, what is the use case?

I guess it’s more like planing software and not implementing it.

You can pretty well plan your software with ChatGPT. But it will just help you not really doing the job.
> If you have a model that can read text and extract its meaning

That model doesn't exist.

We have models that can read text and then probabilistically create a summary that's the most likely to match the original.

But none of these models "extract meaning" in a way that can be used for fact checking purposes in the way you describe.

What you're describing is basically a world model, and while there's a few folks claiming these LLMs are showing the glimmers of building world models, it's mostly speculation.
