The proliferation of gambling is driving me away from sporting events. I won't take my child to an event where gambling is repeatedly promoted front and center. Ditto for broadcasts and the excessive ads for FanDuel and whatever. Recently visiting family in Michigan I was appalled at the nonstop gambling ads during sports broadcasts. I had to leave the room. Combined with escalating ticket costs I have completely tuned out of things I used to watch regularly. Its sad that everything is monetized to the point of ruining it.
As an aside, I'd love to see the code you've got so far. How did you wire up the ReAct loop? Haystack, Langchain, or just direct API calls to OpenAI? Getting LLM's to talk to the LSP protocol directly seems like a good idea as well.
Unreliability on the scale of weeks would be rather less significant than years or decades.

Exactly why they can't be trusted!
To be fair to that guy, the Python standard library provides a multitude of incompatible takes at async already, none of which covers all common use cases. The newest take (asyncio) doesn't integrate with external event loops, so unlike similar libraries in C# and Kotlin, it doesn't work with GUI libraries, not even the one in the standard library (tkinter).

The third-party asyncio alternative Trio, on the other hand, has recently added "guest mode" [1] to plug in external event loops, so maybe that will become the one true way to do async.

Even cells that don’t multiply still accept nutrients. Pretty much no atoms in our bodies stick around for too long. It’s why carbon dating largely measures the time an organism died.
right, but that means you still have to over-build capacity

Musk is not a rocket. There is a company that successfully puts rockets into space that he happens to be CEO of. Whether that company would be successfully putting rockets into space with someone else at the helm is unknown, but I strongly suspect that his own contribution is not as great as would seem.
Glad you're liking it and thank you for the feedback!

1. GPT-4 is definitely on our radar and is something that we are planning to support as an option. There are trade-offs though as it's a lot slower and as people have mentioned, a lot more expensive.

2. You can use the built-in chat the same way you would use ChatGPT. With that said I know that is not the ideal way to achieve what you're looking for. We have some ideas around features that will address this specific problem. If that is something important to you and you'd like to chat about it feel free to email me and we can talk about it: stefan AT type.ai.
Glad you've been enjoying it. I'm continually surprised by how much more I feel I can do working with ChatGPT/AI in a doc editor interface versus exclusively chat (though each have their unique drawbacks).

Good point, thanks for that perspective. Was there hypothetically any way Russia could signal if it was not the case though?
I don't believe that is true in France, or at least not back then there were laws about minimum inheritances.

> Schools are funded based on local taxes. Neither political 'team' seems determined to change this. Teachers often have to buy school supplies out of their own meagre pocket. Kids in schools that don't have money don't learn too good.

This one is mostly a myth. States and federal grants will equalize money per pupil across different school districts. Some of the worst performing school districts in the country also have the highest per-capital spending.

Not in France. French civil law on inheritance is much more strict than common law. For example, you cannot disinherit your children.
The gaps in the ages of longest-living dogs are quite large, however: the second-oldest dog is in turn almost two years older than the third, there's four years between #4 and #7 (with the exact gaps between #4-#7 unclear, but there should be at least two gaps of >1 year). This strongly suggests the gap can be attributed to sparsity of data.

The gap between Calment and #2 is over 2.5x the next largest gap in the records (1 year 80 days between #4 and #5).
a 10x engineer might not exist. A -10x engineer (or more accurately: a 1/10x engineer) definitely does.

Love my current job, but my first love is tech, not entertainment. If you're having trouble finding a lawyer that understands your business, let's talk! For a little more background, I've licensed/sold software I've written to prior legal employers. Most of my friends are engineers and I generally understand (admittedly typically at a high-ish level, but sometimes deeper) what they're working on. While in law school I wrote patent specs for a MFA startup, but not much patent experience since.
To each their own :). I do think it's a big space and plenty of folks will find ChatGPT helpful enough to not warrant a more vertical / specific solution like ours.
If you invest $10000 in something, and it has increase of 20%, that's $2000 profit. It doesn't matter if it was .077 to .089 or 77k to 89k.
You'll never win this fight. For _years_ people have complained about tptacek's bullying, but he's one of the HN elite, so he'll never be punished. It's a racket.
I only learned the truth right after she passed away and my father was free to discuss this - the year was 1911, not 1917 - clouded by two wars' worth of lost records.
The "there will be plenty of oil" logic got us here because it was right, so I'm not sure what you're implying. It doesn't reflect negatively on batteries unless ability to scale up is inherently bad, and I don't think it is.

Ha, my mistake was using boomer dictionaries.

You can't sleep on Urban Dictionary. It's an essential research tool when brainstorming new product names!
I’ve always found the who’s hiring threads to be interesting. I don’t think all of those companies are actively hiring, but rather like to look like they are for some reason I don’t understand. My reasoning is two fold: I applied to some a couple years ago while job hunting and got worse response rate than most other sources. And some seem to be hiring for the same position for many months in a row. Though the second reason could be due to having extremely high set of requirements, but is usually a sign of a company to avoid in my experience.
The extraordinary claim here is that a 34 year old woman would impersonate her mother for decades, including living with her father, and no one would ever notice or say anything. Your perspective is like arresting anyone who wins the lotto for fraud, because it's more likely that they would cheat then just happen to guess the right numbers.
Which is the part most people here on HN still somehow dont understand, the world, tech and especially SemiCon are running on USD. Patents are in USD, All your TSMC Wafers are in USDs, and they goes along with most of the stuff produced by TSMC from the likes of Qualcomm. Majority of Design and Software are in USD.
I think it's a mixed bag. Without progressive taxation regimes and property tax, I would expect those people to have much more wealth, not less.
They talk about how sometimes people would show them doctored receipts to scam them- how much longer before people start recording the "Paid Rs 50" voice and playing it back off their phones?

Not sure what the fix for that would be- reading off the time/date, a small integrated display, or maybe it's just not an issue.
> The layoffs show that Gitlab is out of ideas about how to make its users more productive.

I'm not sure you understand what layoffs are...They happen when a company grows their headcount faster than they can monetize it. Layoffs don't mean "zero ideas", they mean "growing slower than their headcount."

You can have layoffs but announce new initiatives in the same week.
How do you dream big
At some point in my corporate journey, I stopped dreaming big. After years of just facing resistance and general drudgery, I haven’t had many wild ideas in a long time. I sometimes have an idea and just think about how exhausting and awful that undertaking is. I’m not sure if I’ve matured as an engineer or just given up but I do miss the giddy feeling of being excited again. How do you do it, HN?
If you ask ChatGPT what 1/0 is, you get a paragraph as to why it's undefined. Nowhere does it use the phrase "NaN". Perhaps you need to adjust your humor filter, LLMs aren't quite there enough to be able to use NaN% in context as a joke like that.

Also:

> Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something.

If you're going to accuse me of using ChatGPT, at least bother to say why.
I have a colleague who travels frequently to perform installations of equipment at client sites. Every time he travels internationally he buys a new copy of his preferred screwdriver kit and takes it as carry-on through one of the busiest airports in the US. Every time he flies home, he has to throw the out when the foreign airport doesn't let it through.
When I say real data I mean data that was not handed to you by people who have 175 million reasons to fake it. Like another commenter added try to talk to some of their customers, in this case even trying to email them seems like it would have been enough.

Don't know why you're downvoted, this is exactly what they're asking for. You don't have to explain the details of the J/ψ meson, just the first time you write it in the article put "J/ψ meson (J/Psi meson)

For the qubit example, they're not asking for the article to always describe what a qubit is, just if you're going to only write it as "α|0⟩ + β|1⟩" it would be helpful to put (qubit quantum state) the first time you do so in the article.
Would she?

After the mother's death, she keeps going about her life as usual, goes by her original name, does all the normal things she did before. On official documents she lists her mother's name but around friends or neighbours goes by whatever they want to call her. Maybe a lot of the neighbours know what's going on, but hey, we all want to avoid taxes, right? So it goes.

And gradually she starts going by the other name instead. People nod and understand if she corrects them. And eventually everyone around her that might prove otherwise dies off, moves away, or loses contact. Decades go by. Soon everyone remembers that older spritely woman who's always been around here.

Any photos or evidence that might prove her story false, well they go missing. The ones that confirm it stick around.

This is how all legends start, really.
It's pretty obvious, really. A quick little sketchproof; say you have a metric, like headcount, revenue, expenses - whatever. These tend to grow exponentially-ish over time. When that's the regime, the number spends 1/3rd of it's time between 1 and 2 of its leading digit, and 2/3rds growing from 2 to the next power of 10. Similar logic applies if you're counting things that follow any power law - population of cities etc. Wherever you have a power law distribution, Benford's law applies.

But when humans enter data, they tend to fake numbers with a uniform distribution - to appear more random. That's how you catch it.
If someone setup a Ponzi scheme and and disclose to everyone that it is a Ponzi scheme, and people still put money in it, is it illegal?

There's a thin line between Social Security and Ponzi scheme and I'm not sure where this one lands.

It's almost like solving this problem gets harder and harder the longer we put it off.

If only we knew this was a looming problem 40 years ago and started doing something about it back then. The total economic cost would have been much lower.

And the scary thing is, the cost of climate change is only going to get worse. Eventually we will reach a point where the cost is unavoidable, and we will be spending trillions dealing with the consequences rather than billions preventing them.

There is a reason our own military pegs climate change as one of our biggest national security risks in the 21st century, because things are going to get very ugly when large populated regions of the world become inhospitable.
Im talking from experience of dealing with shitty kids. Kids that break things, 10 year olds using the n word. You think these parents are going to be reasonable? I can tell you, no they're not. Maybe your kids are well behaved, maybe your a reasonable empathetic person and know how to live in a dense society. But it takes nothing to have kids and their are plenty of people that don't care about anyone else or what their kids do.

So what are you supposed to do?
No, but it's not the root cause that should be fought.

Things that cause drug abuse, especially the most harmful ones, are:

* lack of education. This was sometimes on purpose, with drug companies lying to get people hooked on opioids

* poverty and despair in general

* mental health

* many other things

Those can and should be fought, and they are a lot more effective than policing overall, and also a lot cheaper.
If it turns out this is happening because all of the EPA employees are working two jobs to keep up with inflation, I'll laugh.
Mercury's orbit is absolutely an ellipse. It is incredibly elliptical, with an apogee of 69.8 million km, and a perigee of 46 million km.

The relativistic effects on Mercury concern its precession - the way that elliptical orbit rotates [1] around the sun. And it's not caused by Mercury's speed (Which is only ~59 km/s at its maximum, compared to the Earth's 30 km/s). It's caused by spacetime being curved by the immense gravitational field of the sun.

If Mercury had a circular orbit, it would have no precession.

[1] Precession is akin to spinning a hula hoop around your body - with the hula hoop representing an orbit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apsidal_precession

> which is to a large degree pension money.

Then take this up with your local government then. There is a quantitative risk versus reward they take, and you should be glad that they take this bet. FYI - their portfolio mix for VC assets is usually like less than 5~10%. If a GP makes one bad bet, they hardly feel this.

> Not sure how much VCs coinvest in their own funds but I'm willing to bet most of their retirement funds are not in VC investments.

(1) most co-invest (2) no one in their right mind would put all of their assets in one VC fund. (3) if you're a partner a firm like Sequioa, you likely have a family office setup, which would follow a similar model to that of a pension fund.

This is normal stuff that happens with companies when economy is in down swing.

Right, and they're normally called "layoffs", and have regulatory and other strings attached.

Which this company seems to be trying to do is achieve the same end but on the sly, by trying to disguise it is something else (and giving the employees the illusion that they have some choice or influence in the matter).

Effectively making an instance of constructive dismissal (in the sense of effecting a "change to employee relationship"):

Do you still write 8086 assembly for fun? I grew up with DOS, a86, and nasm and remember those times fondly. Once I had flat mode in Linux I never really looked back, and once I had x86_64 I never looked back, and now I rarely even delve below the interpreted/compiled level unfortunately. x86 had a closeness to the hardware that was fun to play with.
To placate overworked employees begging for relief.
Phantom limb pain is still part of a physical system and does not 'arise from the mind' in some abstract sense. The absence of a signal is in a sense a signal.
They could have a button "think for more time" or something and allow a certain number of those per day. This is how Wolfram Alpha works used to work, for example.
>This is cynicism disguising itself as wisdom

Nope, just reality described as is.

>Of course people with privilege have it easier. (...) Until you can fully accept that truth and do things despite that, you're stuck.

That, on the other hand, is fatalism described as realism.

Nothing ever changed without outrage about how things are.

And even less by people accepting them and trying to get by "despite that".

What decides if use of ChatGPT(or its use) is protected by the First Amendment?
This article provides a reasonable framework.

> ChatGPT and other LLMs provide enormous benefit to listeners who use it to learn and to speakers who use it to communicate. That itself is reason enough to view any attempt at government regulation of this technology with First Amendment skepticism.

OTOH

> any regulation would have to be justified not merely on cost-benefit grounds but as an infringement on the rights of ChatGPT/OpenAI.

This might be the "bottom line":

> But the whole point of legal corporate personhood is that it shields the individuals who run the corporation from its liabilities. And precisely for this reason these individuals should not be able to augment their own First Amendment rights by drawing on the resources of the company they happen to manage.

This is why I think making comparison to whatever that was is wrong. Our current situation is too distinctive. We're being potentially freed up to do things other than cognitive tasks

I don’t get why there is polarization between solar/wind and nuclear? I can’t put an SMR in my basement but I can put solar on the roof. Why not? It’s not even likely that my country will get an SMR.

Nuclear is also a very risky business (not in the sense of safety but in the sense of project delivery/nimby). So solar and wind are derisking weaning off fossil fuels.

A lot of people build toy languages too -- to the point that some become self hosting.

But there are also just an absolute ton of parsers out there to define a grammar and parse the language into an AST (Abstract Syntax Tree).

Once you have an AST then you can build an interpreter that runs the code directly in a JVM, or you can build a compiler that translates AST into LLVM, say.

I use both Firefox and Chrome (and Opera too) - and I can tell you that the current version of Firefox is not only a "Chrome clone". It is worse chrome-like browser than Chrome.

At the moment Firefox is a memory and processor hog (Chrome sometimes seems to have improved now). Only some ad-blockers keep Firefox alive.

When Chrome kills ad-block (something that Google seems to be working on), then probably more people will come back to Firefox. But at the moment Firefox (even with ad-blockers) is a worse product than chrome.

But think how many blog posts were written and how many people used Firefox as a stepping stone in their careers. Who cares that the product is just genuinely bad now.

Also Firefox was always "the" customizable browser that all the techie people used. It spread via word of mouth - "hey, your browser does not show those nasty ads all the time, how do you do that". Or the techies installing Firefox to their family. At the moment you barely have an incentive, since Firefox feels like mostly a re-skin of Chrome. And bad at it too.
