> How do you know it’d take more compute to produce a Sims text output once every few seconds, compared with actually rendering a real time 3D game?

I don't. I assume it would need to be constantly running to know when it wants to speak and there will be multiple actors on the screen all the time. Do we have actual estimates for how much a response costs in ChatGPT? All I know is it takes a lot of video cards to power that system.

> If you have some optimized LLMs running on the client

Do these currently exist? I was under the impression that tech to date is compute intensive if you're looking for near real time interaction.
Fascinating. I think the key analysis here might have a flawed methodology though. So those who used "#opentowork" on LinkedIn passed fewer interviews... But is that because the hiring managers/panels saw their LinkedIn profiles and saw it as a red flag, or is that because people who used "#opentowork" were more desperate already from failing interviews?
My beef is that something about taking my Samsung Bluetooth earphones out of my ears launches Apple's Music/iTunes app, and only that, and after a cursory search, this apparently can't be turned off. Aside from the annoyance itself, pushing a particular app/service is also not what I want an OS to do.
A communications service that operates using internet servers to run code they wrote... is a tech company.
>My prediction here is that exponential improvements continue at least for the new few years and likely beyond.

GPT-3 to GPT-4 was an exponential improvement? Progress is not usually exponential. Your phone now isn’t x10 better than it was a few years ago. Progress in AI is a huge jump, then refinement of that jump, then stagnation until the next big jump is discovered. Look at CNNs dominating image classification competitions out of nowhere, then they got refined, then they kind of stagnated and didn’t get much % accuracy better in whatever benchmark was used, in fact I think humans are still way better at many vision tasks and it’s been over a decade of research now since CNNs jumped on the scene as the hot thing. I don’t know why people refuse to understand or see this, but it’s tiring constantly hearing people pretend everything is exponential and AGI is two years away when AI hasn’t even beaten humans at some pretty trivial vision benchmarks.
No, but I'm not sure if it would make much of a difference, feel free to try it out.
So what would you propose exactly? Make it illegal to not own a home so the police can throw these people in jail for being too poor to be around?
1. My apologies. I as looking at the link from WordPress. Right. As UK entity you are good.

2. Your subprocessor uses AWS. No way to stay compliant if you transmit visitor IP to US cloud (even if they use European servers).

3. Sadly, wrong. You should immediately consult privacy professional. DPO is necessary. There are 3 tests.

https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/does-my-organisation-ne...

Answer to question 2 is yes btw.

You are not compliant without DPO and because you are using AWS, even if indirectly.
I worked in St Catherine’s Monastery where these manuscripts are stored to make a 3d scan of the monastery, museum, and Mount Sinai summit if interesting: https://stcatherines.mused.org/en/

This place is seriously inspiring, and the monks and teams from Greece that do the manuscript scanning are awesome people.

Recommend going in early December for the Feast of Saint Catherine (they go on the old calendar).

I honestly hope that people didn’t downvote the comment because of the mention of “right”. The “right” in China (or the third Internationale in general) is akin to the liberals in the western world.

The whole point of the comment is that truth matters and freedom of speech matters and government or any entity alone can’t be the arbiter of information
The article essentially claims that OpenToWork is generally considered to be a negative indicator among hiring managers: If you're looking for a job, it's better to not mark yourself as open to work, otherwise HMs will judge you negatively.

Is that actually a view that many/most hiring managers have?

That seems completely insane to me. My view was that OpenToWork == please feel free to contact me about new opportunities, I'm willing to switch jobs or take on contract work. But a number of HN commenters here appear to have the viewpoint that OpenToWork == you're an incompetent buffoon who has been utterly unable to get anyone to hire you, so I'm not even going to consider you for this position. Wtf? Yes, all the incompetent buffoons will be permanently OpenToWork, but I really don't think it's reasonable to make that assumption in the opposite direction.
Forced Candy Crush, Facebook and other installs, MSN tabloid news articles, etc. are all over Windows start menu too. It's extremely tasteless and looks like a grocery store checkout aisle.
Australia has had three major data breaches in the past year all leaking ID documents and now many people are facing serious and ongoing issues with identity theft.

Forcing more companies to collect ID is going to increase cases of identity theft which can cause extreme suffering and in some cases even suicide. Unfortunately this is never considered when a government mandates ID verification. “Protect the children at any cost even if we have no evidence it will work” seems to be the mantra across the world.
Is this actually a problem? I'm willing to bet that the vast majority of people who use the internet have a good enough idea of what a server is that even if they're dead wrong about how one works it isn't terminology that would be confusing to them.
Yes, Bobiverse and Murderbot are very close in spirit, and if you like one you are very likely to enjoy the other. Also both have great audio narration.
I’m a lot older than you, I’m sure, but here is something interesting to consider (from my own playbook).

Pick long term projects (requires focus and craft and builds self confidence) in things you are interested in.

Consider the following categories to focus your projects:

- Study
- Create
- Build
- Improve
- Play
- Explore
- Connect

For example:
- Study the biology of birds
- Create a new form of music
- Build a corner of your home for hobbies
- Improve your memory
- Play a game that has lots of new experiences
- Explore a section of your world for its history or architecture
- Connect with others through membership in a charity group

Good luck.
> Irrespective of the source of the dysphoria, it exists

No! What you have here is a bunch of confused girls that will do whatever tiktok influencers tell them to do. Do nothing and it'll pass in 99.99% of the cases. Start blocking puberties and you end up with a lot of unnecessary surgeries and sterile people who will suffer the rest of their lives.

How many people temporally confused by social contagion are you willing to sacrifice for each "real case" that you catch earlier? Where's your line? Ten, a hundred? A thousand? All of them?

You don't want to engage with the question, I get it, but it's the whole point here.

> Irrelevant, as if they later get surgery it is because they, once they are mature enough to decide, determine that it is the best outcome for them

Yeah, because the sunk cost fallacy develops only after puberty, or what? No. As you very well know, once they start on that road the identity kicks in and it's "who they are now". Which is exactly what you want, a normal person comes in, an activist for life comes out. Who cares about the actual person, right?
They're cutting off software updates for third party displays. Their own displays will continue to be supported... for now.
How is "I'd not seen that part, details please" a delaying tactic? You'd really help your argument if you, you know, supported it instead of trying to divert with questions. Sorry that I don't take "The twitter files prove that the government controls NPR" at face value.
Yeah I don't expect institutions to get their reputations back anytime soon. But I could imagine some distributed social networks coupled with cryptographic signatures and blockchains could be used to reach consensus on some ground truth. I think this already basically happens today, albeit informally. But the deep fakes make it possible to disrupt these networks. Cryptographic signatures could at least validate sources and by minting it on-chain you get a verified timestamp of the assertion or story.

Considering we do have a law around funding NPR and the company would be impacted of that funding went away, personally I see it as appropriate.

There are $7.5T worth of foreign exchange transactions per day. If BTC can take 1% of that it's currently worth $1.5M/btc. The rest of the crypto market shadows btc with other blockchains having niche uses.

BTC/crypto is a natural alternative to USD settlement. If you believe the USD is sunsetting as the global reserve currency then crypto, especially btc is probably a good long term investment.
> The new server plans start at the unbeatable prices of just € 3.79 a month, which includes an IPv4 address, and there is no setup fee or minimum contract period. If users’ servers only exist for part of the month, they will only pay for the hours when the servers existed. This hourly billing option gives customers even more flexibility and will help keep costs low

Unless I'm blind, the price clearly says 4.52 EUR/mo with IPv4 at

Windows did an update today and I found myself dreading what I would find when I logged in. I did have to confirm or skip a bunch of setting that I’m sure I skipped before, but was relieved to find my minimal layout kept in tact.

It's a good question! The climate isn't unique but I think the economic and income dynamics may be.

Either way though "this isn't working so let's do the other thing we know also doesn't work" isn't a very rigorous approach. I get the frustration but we know that wouldn't solve it, because it didn't solve it there and hasn't solved it anywhere.
Broadcasting your need to any poor soul who stumbles across your post does not sound like the ideal way to get the job you want. It does sound desperate like you have no skills and will take whatever is offered.

I've never even had a recruiter that could find me the job I wanted. It's up to you to find that job and do what it takes to meet those qualifications.

You can find that job through the easily searchable job listings that cover the internet - or through your personal network - but you're your best advocate here.
> Seems like you are projecting a bit. I'm not sure she'd agree that she also doesn't belong. So, the fact that you do doesn't really mean she should take personal blame for it. That's pretty ridiculous if you think about it.

On the contrary, I'm quite convinced she did think she belonged, which is the problem. She was incapable of understanding the situation, John didn't care, and the other Beatles refused to confront John or Yoko about it despite it being quite clearly obtrusive.

> Her partner asked her to be there for him... No one else expressed anything otherwise, because they knew how John would react.

I'm not denying that it's a failure on multiple people's parts, but you're just pretending like Yoko doesn't share any of that responsibility herself.

> Big coming from you with this kind of posting. Yawn.

As opposed to your kind of posting that's infantilizing grown women on top of your inability to empathize. Yawn indeed.
maybe not prison but a detention and mental health care facility, but yes generally agreed with the above comment. My wife is a dr at a hospital in SF and treats many chronically homeless patients for various issues. There are about 1-2k chronically homeless folks in SF who need treatment against their will/desires (their desires are either to continue drug use until they die or their desires are unintelligible), and the large majority of them will never recover to a point where they will be in a point where they can live outside of an inpatient mental health hospital/detention facility.

What race is that?
Even if it didn't take dozens of hours (or more) of in-game work (or equivalent) to rebuild a nice ship, there's still the reward for time spent in game, which isn't unique to EvE, but is toxic.

Back when skills couldn't be queued, the devs at CCP knew exactly what they were doing. Force people to be logged in when their last skill had been trained, or they'd lose precious minutes, hours, days of training time. Once players are logged in, they might as well engage with other aspects of the game, getting more addicted to grinding.

The implants mechanic is terrible as well. For long-term use, maxing out learning implants is valuable, but that conflicts with playing the game where you want combat-related bonuses, so you have to jump around, which adds logistical difficulties. You have to be able to jump back to your learning clone before logging out for a while. And if you're not looking for an edge with a combat-focused clone, and you fly around with maxed learning implants, you lose billions, in addition to your ship and its modules, if you get podded.

The stakes for having to log out on short notice when you're PvPing in 0.0 or even lowsec can be losing your ship or worse, since you will at a minimum be separated from your gang/fleet, and might even be probed in the minutes before your ship disappears (unless they've changed that mechanic), or trapped if you log back in and warp back to a (same or different) gate camp. Having game mechanics that put a lot of pressure on players to prioritize game time over real life, is not good.
This is great, going to see how this fares tomorrow as a replacement for Google.
Right, but that necessitates that people actually do believe two sides of a given split chain to be interchangeable. That's not the case for Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash; they may have a shared transaction history in their ledgers up to the point where their chains split, but after the split there is no way to turn BTC into BCH or otherwise reconnect the chains. Accordingly:

> Had it not been, had both sides insisted on branding themselves as "Bitcoin", then it would be a lot less clear which side's claim to the name was legitimate.

The clarity would come from whichever chain a majority of the network adopts. Rogue chains calling themselves "Bitcoin" happen all the time; they're short-lived because they fail to attract consensus that they're the "one true chain".
> a law appropriating tens of billions to create a crypto deterrent would crash prices on its own

Doubt that. All that would happen is driving the industry underground or overseas. It wouldn't be the first time a government overplayed its hand and failed to acknowledge that bitcoin is a global technology.

https://data.nasdaq.com/data/BCHAIN/HRATE-bitcoin-hash-rate

That isn't slowing down. I have exactly 0 faith that governments across the world could start from scratch and cooperate to outpace and then surpass the private sector in a chip fabrication project, no matter how many billions they throw at it.
It says I know not to feed trolls, and you're a troll.
The article mentions Steven Newman, author of Worldwalk. Neat guy. I met him in West Des Moines (or maybe Clive?) when he was promoting his book, and got an autographed copy, which I really hope I haven't lost over the years. It's well worth reading.
You didn’t even consider the question I asked. Why are you making the assumption that sale of a lifetime license isn’t currently enforceable by law? The article only complained and didn’t attempt to challenge their license. Your idea only works if someone is willing to challenge the company. If the new owners of a company are choosing to break the contracts or the law, why would you expect another contract to help?

There are a million and one promises companies have made to customers and other companies by the time they are acquired. Installing clauses like you suggest for all of them is wildly unrealistic, would be very expensive in billable lawyer hours, may delay or subvert the sale, and above all may be unnecessary/unhelpful/confusing if the existing customer contract is already legally binding.

> the paid license has less

That should be zero. Not that my opinion matters, as I only use Windows because I'm forced to at work, where it regularly costs me a lot of time (I lost 5 hours of my workday yesterday because of a Windows update that went sideways.)

I bailed on it on my personal machines a couple of decades(!) ago.
If NPR was as upstanding as some think, and if this money isn't meaningful as claimed, then why is it so hard for NPR to give the money back and distance themselves in a way that leaves no room for question about being propaganda?
> I can't help but feel that the cloud infrastructure and microservice movement of the 2010s was.. a scam.

I think the general consensus is that the most-root cause for why cloud infrastructure and microservice architectures matter is more People, less Technology. Its hard to hire highly experienced people, especially at the hundreds-to-thousands of engineers scale that many companies operate at.

That, in isolation, is reasonable. The actually uncomfortable question that no one wants to address is: was that a scam. Put another way, how much of that was a zero-interest rate phenomena, and how much "state of art best way to engineer" things was influenced from that, and has root causes in US monetary policy.

Between AI and high interest rates: if you're not ready to spend the 2020s questioning every single thing you think you know about software engineering; you won't be long for the industry.

I wonder why it allows NUL... I'm pretty sure JSON itself doesn't: you need to do a \u escape to do the control characters including NUL.

It looks like that kind of escaping is just not supported at all in JSON Pointer. I kind of want to say that once you've noticed NUL is a problem enough to call it out the document, you should probably just ban it and pop in an escape to represent it.

4.52 is the price with German VAT included, without it, it's 3.79.
It's so fucking dumb that a worker has to show fealty to a corporation when they want to work there, as if they are blessed for having the opportunity to labor on shitty code (or whatever) all day, and if they look for other work they're a fucking traitor and looked down upon. Meanwhile, if company profits are up but interest rates are rising 25 bps over the next year, they can just lay off 10,000 workers and it's just "doing business things".

I am "open to work" on LinkedIn and elsewhere, and if a company or hiring manager doesn't like it then they can go fuck themselves. Note: I have a great job currently.

Further, "open to work" doesn't mean I'm fucking begging for you to hire me, it means I'm open to opportunities that might come up when I'm specifically not actively looking! I've had several good interviews come from random people finding my posts about my industry on HN or seeing my "open to work" status on LinkedIn and emailing me.
Email had a real world counterpart. In that sense it was easier to explain because you could start from traditional mail and use that to explain emails.

Mastodon and its relationship with the fediverse is indeed complicated to grasp.
It's not difficult to show a compelling state interest in the regulation of weapons and intoxicants, but regulating media companies is a whole different question that deserves at least intermediate scrutiny. In this case specifically, I think the government would have difficulty demonstrating state interest given the carve-outs in the bill: it's hard to understand how Facebook is uniquely toxic but Youtube, LinkedIn, all multiplayer video games, and platforms with less than $100mm in annual gross revenue are exempt (plus a kind of tossed-out exemption for news that looks like a half-assed attempt to get around the controlling "ink-tax" 1A case law).
Ok so I actually work at Meta and I hope they do more layoffs. There are so many redundant teams and useless features being pushed. After the last layoff my job got so much easier because I wasn't constantly fighting people trying to ship dumb features that pollute the codebase.

And even if I get laid off there's a fat severance package waiting for me. It's a win-win.
I think the fundamental problem with OS-level ads is that they're by design irrelevant. I don't mind Google search ads because I'm searching for something related.

But in the OS, if I'm opening the start menu, my intention could be anything. Microsoft is then forced to serve the most generic ad possible, which is going to be irrelevant 99% of the time.
Why do parents feel the government needs to restrict everyone to solve parenting issues. Does the drinking age eliminate under age drinking?
I'm curious if the downvoters can elaborate on why they consider this a bad direction. From my perspective, it seems like AI safety may be an under-utilized field that is more ripe for a beginner than the more mature aspects. E.g., DARPA has committed large sums of money ML assurance. IMO AI, particularly in safety-critical domains, will need such measures to build a sufficient level of trust before wide-spread adoption.
I don’t understand why this was downvoted. Forcing kids to share more PII with social media companies is extremely dangerous. I’m surprised that people on HN are in support of this.
