> I personally know of a few large companies laying off devs over this.

They’re laying people off and replacing them with chat gpt generating code? That seems... aggressive. Or are they laying off devs who copy-pasted gpt-generate code?
JPMorgan asks senior bankers to return to office for five days a week
So what, require everybody to get their parents to come in and state their gender in kindergarten? Seems annoying.

Or just default to they/them? Possible I guess but awkward.

Or just let the teachers assign a gender to start? This will be fun! Can they ask the kids first or do they have to pick without consultation?
> and if the meaning is useful and people could figure it out, you're allowed to use it.

Right, it just doesn't convey that meaning to me, it jarrs. Of course I understand the intent, I just mean that it's not immediately clear, not without making me think 'that's not quite right'.

To be clear, I don't take issue with 'fake', it's its attachment to 'image' that bothers me. 'fake photo' or 'photorealistic CGI' seems fine, more reflective even of the concern people have - few people have a problem with computers generating images at all, it's when the authenticity of the source or subject is doubted or potentially falsified that's controversial.
Not too shocking for me after this paper. https://arxiv.org/abs/2211.09066

You can teach GPT-3 arithmetic - https://imgur.com/a/w3DAYOi

Basically 100% accuracy up to about 13 digit addition and >90 after that.

What else can you teach GPT without changing weights ?
Relatedly, because it is fun to speculate about other ways that battery weight may shrink in the next few decades though we don't have enough data yet: right now we're in a "range race" where manufacturers in the US, especially, are all focused on getting the highest possible range numbers (and thus more battery cells to cover it) that they can and meeting/exceeding the 300 miles per full charge "goal post" to fight Americans' current EV range anxieties.

That "goal post" itself may shift, or at least open up to be more of a spectrum of consumer choice. As more Americans get more home charging infrastructure they may grow much more comfortable with smaller range batteries. The early Nissan Leafs have already shown that some home owners can successfully live on 100 miles per full charge or less batteries (even some road trips with current charging infrastructure). It may make sense for car manufacturers to compete on EV form factors that intentionally include smaller batteries and overall are much lighter-weight cars, if for no other reason than it is a way to drive costs down towards extremely cheap low end models.

That's not entirely imaginary speculation either, because Asian markets with faster EV adoption curves than the US average already have some really interesting competition on light-weight, low-range, extremely cheap "urban" EVs. There's probably plenty of market potential in the US for sub-$10k low weight, low range EVs as at least secondary cars in households, and in some cases (some cities) would even already meet many primary car needs. It's just probably going to take a lot more infrastructure, marketing, and consumer convincing in the US market past current "range anxiety" over-concern before we see such cars common in the US, though.
I just asked ChatGPT who made the first cardboard box, and it too believes the first story on this list: "The first cardboard box was invented by Sir Malcolm Thornhill in England in 1817. He created a machine that could make sheets of paper and then fold them into boxes."
Aaronson's test seems to require less "fluid intelligence" to get right. Someone who has read the book and just pattern matches basically can do well on the test. A lot of tests work this way.

Steve's test requires.. more fluid intelligence. Question 2 is simply not something you see on the internet in any common form, but the if you do lots of deduction of the implications -- ya, you get it.

I've noticed similar weird fails with GPT-4. It seems like a genius recalling factual information and even (to some degree) translating common word problems into math. It starts failing hard though when you give it things way outside its domain (often children could outperform it since humans seem to not need so many shots of novel knowledge to understand things)
For us regular guys, nothing is gonna happen with relationships unless you make it happen.
You are correct in that. A few points though:

- While DP might be rare, memoize is quite common alternative. Sticking a @functools.cache in Python for example. They are functionally equivalent in many cases,

- I believe knowing their data-structures and algorithms is the difference between an okay programmer and a good one,

- When interviewing entry-level software-engineers, there's not much else you can ask them except for what they learned in class, which is these kinds of questions.
I don't have a Steam Deck and I have no intention of buying one.

But damn I am grateful it exists. It single handedly allowed me to have Linux and nothing else on my personal machine.

Gaming on Linux for me has been more than tolerable, it has been as close to perfection as I always hoped.
The major issue is we know the minimal least effort steps involved to keep these things working aren't hard.

Release a firmware update that updates the device to only point to ips/domains in the private range as it's new control/update/whatever server and update any security certs to a new releasable one.

Then open source the server software if not still in use, or roll back the firmware the x number of years to the point were the requirements to maintain the device started diverging and release that version of the updated old firmware/old server source.

There's no ongoing cost to the company and people can continue to use their devices if they wish to put in the effort to maintain it. I mean I'm not up in arms about this case, but it's such a common story about how device/software is no longer usable because finance wants to turn off a server that it should be SOP in every sunset plan. I'd go so far as saying it should be regulated as the minimum.
I am confused. If you use a custom storage system then you would have the code for it. No?
There are people of all political persuasions on 4chan. You're free to go on there and deride any white nationalists you see. No one will ban you.
I might have overstated it a bit. I'd estimate that ~7 bleeding homeless people have approached and interacted with me over 10 years that I lived there. Some not so terrible (lots of scabs and kind of meth-vibe of "I've been scratching my skin for the last week"), a couple noticeably bad (wearing wrapped hospital-looking badges on the head and concerning-looking open wound on arm).

I've probably SEEN, from a greater distance, I don't know... 100 homeless people in pretty desperate-looking situations.

I don't know. It's the worst in SF I've seen in any city, but I haven't spend a ton of time in LA's skid row. In India, I saw a lot of limbless and child beggars, including a pair of kids who were intentionally whipping themselves for donations [0], but I've felt more "afraid" in US than in India, where it's more "this is sad."

Had some successes, and excited about the tool. Had a miss on this question: "what are some good articles about using chatgpt for development in the R language"

It didn't find anything, though it did respond with a number of potentially helpful general suggestions.

So I cross checked Google, found a lot of hits using "using chatgpt for r development"

Then I went back to phind and tried that prompt and ... it worked. I think asking for "articles about" tripped up ... who? GPT-4? It seems to work fine as a straight Google search.

Anyway -- FWIW.
If you get on a train, you are statistically more likely to reach your destination than just sitting on your ass. Yes, you may die in a fiery trainwreck, but getting on the train will lead you in the direction to where you intend to go.

If you do nothing, expect nothing.

If you attempt to work on your personal problems, be they psychological, physical, financial, whatever, you are more likely to make a change in your life than just accepting that this is your life.
A simple single node is often more reliable than a complex fault-tolerant setup. Fewer moving parts mean fewer broken pieces.

Similar with security. A simple monolith is more secure than isolated front- and backend.

>In common USA English, use of a figure like "10K" suggests imprecision - it's a magnitude of order ballpark, a gesture at the logarithmic scale.

Really? As a life-long resident of the US, native US English speaker, and the child of a native US English speaker and a long-time resident of the US from another English-speaking country (UK) (both with post-baccalaureate degrees), I never heard that from anyone except you.

Not teachers in primary or secondary school, nor in college. Nor have I seen that in any of the many usage guides I've read over the past half-century or so.

Yes, "Forty days" in the Abrahamic[0] tradition is meant to be imprecise (i.e., meaning "a long time"), but the bible/torah/quran aren't guides to modern English, are they?

Perhaps you could enlighten this American ignoramus as to the correctness of US English idiomatic phrasing in this light. It would be most appreciated.

Swallows will only eat flying insects and catch them in the air. The common house sparrow typically forges on the ground. The intersection of the insects both species eat is probably close to zero
It's a bit of both. The intention is probably to start the app when you "plug in" earphones. But something about putting the Galaxy Buds back into their charging case, or sometimes just taking them out, causes a state change (reconnect?) that triggers it.

The dark pattern is to start the Music app.
Much like games as a service, there’s finite time and money people can put into recurring payments.

And when one of those finite limits is hit, something will give. One service will be dropped for another.

I’m on the opposite side of the spectrum. I’m 23 and have experienced a solid number of partners and committed relationships.

After my last long-term relationship however, I realized how much time and energy these commitments take. I’ve noticed that after a while, I tend to lose myself in long term R’s, and I hate the feeling.

This ends my relationships. It starts out fine, with healthy and strong boundaries with regards to personal time and energy. Over time, the compromises eat away at me, and I find myself with very little time for my own pursuits and personal growth.

It’s odd too, because I’m quite aware of my boundaries and strong with them. Something about relationships or my partners slowly erodes them.

Near the end, I feel so suffocated that I’m usually becoming distant and breaking things off.

Singlehood is liberating, but I hate that I love my partners and I can’t figure out a way to stop repeating this harmful pattern. It’s either something wrong with me, or something wrong with how I pick my partners.

Has anyone faced this?
I use credit card and was never asked for a passport. That's odd. Been using them for more than 5 years.
I would love to help, I have a "medium" amount of knowledge of flutter & dart, though I could really help you with the windows commands and best practices to setup the backend, is their any way I could contact you via discord etc.
Cannot disagree enough. I love having dinner with people who are different from me if civil discourse is available. However, I am a US citizen, where free speech is fairly highly valued.

> "If you and 9 of your friends have a dinner with a Nazi, there are 11 Nazis around that table."

It is risible that one would make that accusation, by the way.
women do, from my experience.

if raising kids isn't a factor, I bet many couples would be happier living on both sides of a duplex.
Yeah. I call that failing to be reliable.

That's definitely not about taste.
As for boasting about something I don't care about, it comes back to what I implied in my original comment. One of the largest and most influential global corporations seems to have pivoted their entire business strategy towards something that, as of today, does not exist, is ill-defined, and is not even widely understood (or cared about) by people who work in technology. That, to me, is fucking crazy. And I suppose I was hoping someone would take umbrage at my comment and proceed educate me as to why it might not be completely fucking crazy. So far, no one has (they've taken umbrage, just not offered any reason for me to think my initial take isn't exactly right).
Yes, FerretDB is a layer which implements the MongoDB wire protocol on top of Postgres. Right now we are using JSONB, but this affects performance and we need to depart from this strategy in the long run.
We have an article which explains the concept [1].

I wouldn't go into the document vs. relational argument, all arguments for and against would have merit. There are valid use cases for document databases (take e-commerce, for example), and we should not discount the fact that using a relational database is just more complicated. Using vanilla Postgres for a MongoDB use case will not be feasible for someone who's focus is, let's say, mobile application development. There is a reason behind MongoDB's popularity - it just provides a great developer experience. This is what we are aiming to recreate on top of Postgres.

You still need to query every byte of the input string...

Any better than that you can do would be O(min(n, k)) where k is the length of the longest word in the dictionary. But without loss of generality that would be O(n).
They likely won't... but would really appreciate if, when hardware vendors EOL their products they'd release schema diagrams and protocol documentation. There's no reason you shouldn't get at LEAST a decade out of these. It's the main thing that has kept me from any kind of "smart home" integration at all.

I wound up going with a security package from my cable company (kind of crappy cameras, tbh), but I'm not thinking in terms of ownership at this level. In the end, it's just disappointing in general how much churn there is in the tech space.

Similarly, I'm not going to buy a fridge, or washing machine with a built in tablet, when they stop receiving updates in under a year usually. It's just really crappy as a race to the bottom. Either start with a rental/subscription model, or be prepared to maintain the product for a decade. Homes and cars aren't churned like phones.
I think the confusion is that that’s not the “real reason” to get a sound bar; just one of the reasons.

The more common reason is still: it sounds better than your TVs built in speakers.
And that still doesn't include the very short term soft-failures where HN tells you "something happened, try again" - those happen every week or so.
Not a joke. The thing exists
The author says, "I can’t even say whether I’m voluntarily or involuntarily single," and I think this is telling. When you're dealing with anxiety and overthinking, it's easy to lose touch with your feelings and become unsure of why you do things the way you do. I know that's how it's been for me to some extent.

You've got to push past it, though, and take the plunge to ask people out even if they might reject you or even if it might break some social norms. I just got out of a long-term relationship and am also approaching my thirties. When I met her, she was my housemate during university years. My other housemates and friends said it would be inappropriate to make a move, but I went for it anyway, and it gave me 9 years of happiness.
Because they're the dodgiest, lowest cost, cheapest option. And they like to spy/ddos.
Growing needs for accessing state-of-the-art reward models
Good point, competing with the younglings steeped in ML is hard. Better to bring strengths that come with experience in adjacent skills.

OP might do best to leverage both their existing Java/full-stack skills and their newly developing ML skills. Not sure what’s a good way to achieve that though.
Of course... knowing that this is all by well behaving browsers is a bit of a troubling point. Such that I find it equally odd that we have placed so much power and general trust into software that we keep expanding the capabilities of. It is a small step to "managed devices" that we don't even trust users to keep up to date being required for access.
We sure as hell avoid having a clear definition for what "consciousness" is. Nothing is good enough.
Somehow there always seems to be something special in us that is impossible to replicate. Even with no evidence of it.
What we perceive as consciousness MUST be replicable or else we're living in magicland and nobody can replicate that magic.

Just like Windows users.

Did you turn off the “Help poor children in Uganda” ‘advert’ on opening Vim?

Because, you know, you didn’t choose to put the advert there, strangers who wrote the code you updated to, they put the advert there.
I think more likely there are just a lot of 4chan users on this site. And some subset of those take perceived attacks like these quite personally.
That's pretty much what having a boyfriend or girlfriend sounds like. Many people do it without even living in the same city. I don't get what would be controversial about it, perhaps the expectation that it has to evolve to something different?
I knew who Nick Fuentes was, but Daniel Haqiqatjou is a new name for me.

So I looked him up, and found his blog, and this is the latest post on it: "Why Should Muslims Defend Slavery and Minor Marriage?" https://muslimskeptic.com/2023/04/10/slavery-minor-marriage/

As per the title, it explains his belief, as a radical Muslim, that slavery and underage marriage ought to be defended

If this is where you are getting your ideas from–I don't really know what to say in response. A lot of people who ended up joining Islamic State and blowing themselves up on some battlefield in Syria, they started out by listening to people who say the sort of things that he does
TFA mentions, and I've encountered this in friends as well: fear of hurting others as a very common reason for not dating. My only advice is "You are guaranteed to hurt someone you get into a relationship with; them entering into a relationship with you means they think it is worth it."

That doesn't mean there aren't wrong ways to go about relationships (abusers keep people in unhealthy relationships with a combination of manipulation and picking their victims well), but if you're legit hesitant to date someone because you are worried about hurting them, then that's probably not you.
Interesting! I tried "what are some good articles about using chatgpt for development in the R language" and the web results are simply off. So it's not the model. We'll investigate this example further to make the web results better.

I've been single all my life as well, heading into my 30's and it's getting to the point where I feel like the crippling loneliness is absolutely killing me on the inside, likely going to lead me to an early death. Trying not to seem "needy" or come off as desperate is hard and is definitely a turn-off.

I avoided social situations all my life because I was (and still am) afraid of rejection. I minimized the amount of time I socialized with people because I felt inherently different, that I didn't belong, that somehow my presence was offensive/offending to people - likely due to the constant emotional manipulation and abuse from both my parents growing up.

After going to therapy for almost a decade and finally getting the courage to leave my abusive family, I feel like the "social" parts of my brain that should have developed years ago have now atrophied/cemented themselves into place, unable to experience the emotions, unable to mentally process social cues and understand the "hidden meaning" the things people say.

I don't feel like the label "incel" or "volcel" applies to me, I feel like I'm stuck in this persistent state of limbo where I know I could might be in a relationship if I tried, but why bother if it's likely just going to end up in regret/rejection/heartbreak/etc? The pros/cons don't seem to weigh out - but then again, how would I know if I've never been in a relationship? Doesn't help that I feel like I'm scared of women for some reason either.

I'm incredibly embarrassed to admit I've never been on a date of any kind or talked with women my age in any capacity other than small talk. It kills me inside every day I look at myself and scream internally at why and how I feel so broken socially and mentally. Doesn't help now that the hairline's receding.

I know this doesn't really relate to the authors' article at all, just looking to see if anybody else feels this way or have felt this way. I think people in the tech industry can relate to it more considering I'm sure a lot of people here have been glued to their computers like I have for long periods of their lives.

Online dating doesn't make things easier either...
If you have a haskell style type system you can do such a thing and have the type system prevent you from calling things multiple times, eg:

data P1 a
data P2 a
data PointNotEqual where
| T :: P1 a -> P2 a -> PointNotEqual
getP1 :: P1 a -> Point
getP2 :: P2 a -> Point
checkNE :: Point -> Point -> Maybe PointNotEqual
(+) :: P1 a -> P2 a -> Point

Here when you are given a PointNotEqual, you don’t know what the type variable is, only that it’s the same between the two points. So you (ie the compiler) cannot prove that a P1 or P2 from a different call to PointNotEqual has the same type variable, so you can’t add them.

But these types also mean you need to do the check before every addition which defeats the point of the whole constant time thing, so the typechecking is still limited. And I guess you can’t do it in Go either.
They can't just totally do it, at least: then the last hop to the actual display would be decrypted, sort of ruining the whole point of HDCP. My understanding is more that a receiver is just a passthrough for the communication between the source and the display. Though I'm surely oversimplifying.
There was a whole series of ethnic cleanings in the USSR [1], the CCP is currently enacting at least 2 efforts to erradicate non Han minority groups, the Khmer Rouge set about the mass murder of Muslim Cham and Vietnamese in Cambodia, the Ethiopian Derg were accused of similar atrocities.
