Yeah it’s heavy. But you don’t buy it, it’s lent to you (via a hold on your credit card).

I know people complain about this but should they send the battery in an envelope and say “good luck”?

Even if they design the phones to be more repairable (which I know many hope for), nothing can change the design of the phone you bought 2 years ago. And what Apple is doing is miles better than what they were doing before.

Freelance Writing as a Profession Is Getting Nuked by GPT

As technology advances, it seems that no industry is safe from automation. Freelance writing, once a reliable source of income for many, is now being threatened by a new player in the game: GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) language models.

In the freelancewriters subreddit forum, posts discussing the impact of GPT on the freelance writing industry have become increasingly common. Some writers have even reported losing clients to GPT-powered writing services.

One user shared their experience of being replaced by ChatGPT, a tool that uses AI-generated content to create articles. Another writer was asked for a refund because their client believed the work was AI-generated. And yet another writer lost three clients to AI and was rejected by a potential client who favored a competitor that used chatbots for research.

Even established content mills like WordAgents have faced mutiny from their writers due to the increasing use of GPT language models. The once-reliable source of income for freelance writers is now being threatened by a new technology that is more cost-effective and efficient.

In response to clients who ask why they should hire a human writer when GPT-4 is only $20 per month, some writers in the subreddit forum have pointed out that human writers offer a unique voice and perspective that cannot be replicated by machines. They also argue that AI-generated content lacks the creativity and emotional depth that comes naturally to human writers.

While some may see GPT as a threat to their livelihood, others see it as an opportunity to adapt and evolve in the industry. Some writers have started to incorporate GPT-generated text into their work, using it as a tool to enhance their writing and make it more efficient.

As the saying goes, "adapt or die." Freelance writers who refuse to evolve with changing technology will likely find themselves struggling to find work in a market that is rapidly becoming saturated with AI-generated content. However, those who are willing to embrace this new technology and find ways to incorporate it into their work may find themselves in a stronger position to succeed.

In conclusion, it appears that freelance writing as a profession is being nuked by GPT. However, the impact of this new technology is not all negative. While it may displace some writers, it also presents an opportunity for growth and adaptation. Ultimately, it will be up to individual writers to decide how they want to respond to this new challenge.
Every time I call my mobile phone company to get service I get someone in the Philippines. They are knowledgeable and courteous. I have no problem with them. They try very hard to help me when I need it. My phone company does it to cut costs. They could hire people in the US but I'm sure they find it too expensive. They also do it because it's a job that can be done anywhere in the world with a computer and an internet connection. Every so often I hear roosters making sound in the background.

Now imagine all the work at home jobs that people are fighting to keep. It will take close to 0 effort to ship them to any english speaking locality. I bet that as I write this there are companies springing up in India, China and many other places ready to offer the same service at much lower cost. 10+ years from now most if not all the work from home will be outsourced. Anyway you look at it whether it's no longer sanctioned by the employer or it's out sourced. Working from home 100% of the time is coming to an end in the US.

BTW, some of the biggest companies in India are companies that specialize in outsourcing jobs into India.
A "hit" TV show? If you mean the very best-written TV shows, probably not. But an average TV show? ChatGPT could do much better.

I think your comment is epitomizing just what a huge blind spot people like you have here. You're comparing AI/ChatGPT with the very best stuff produced by humans, not the average. The average is usually lazy and bad, so it's really not a stretch to conceive of ChatGPT writing something better than that.

As another poster commented here, ChatGPT could have written the latest Top Gun movie. The aviation filming was great, but the story itself made no sense. I can definitely see ChatGPT writing something no worse.
From the horses mouth ;)

Deploying a large language model like OpenAI's GPT-3 for a million users requires careful planning and consideration of various technical and logistical aspects. Here are some steps that can be taken to deploy a large language model for a large number of users:

Determine the hardware and infrastructure requirements: Deploying a large language model for a million users requires significant computing power and infrastructure. You will need to decide whether to use cloud-based solutions like AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud, or build your own hardware infrastructure.
Build a scalable architecture: To ensure that your deployment can handle a million users, you need to build a scalable architecture that can accommodate additional users as needed. This may involve setting up a load balancer and multiple servers to distribute the load.
Ensure data security: Since a large language model like GPT-3 deals with sensitive information, it is important to ensure data security. This may involve encrypting data, using secure APIs, and setting up firewalls to protect against cyber-attacks.
Develop APIs: To enable users to access the language model, you need to develop APIs that can be accessed through a web or mobile application. These APIs should be designed to handle multiple requests simultaneously.
Test and monitor the deployment: Before deploying the language model for a million users, it is important to thoroughly test the system to ensure it is functioning as expected. You should also set up monitoring tools to track performance and detect any issues.
Provide user support: When deploying a large language model for a million users, it is important to provide user support to address any issues or concerns that users may have. This may involve setting up a helpdesk or providing documentation to help users understand how to use the system.
Overall, deploying a large language model like OpenAI's GPT-3 for a million users requires a significant investment of resources and expertise. By carefully planning and executing each step of the deployment process, you can ensure that the system is scalable, secure, and user-friendly.

Also, we will be immune to FOIA or any kind of oversight.

I'm pretty sure koboll's point was that by having a doctor in the loop, the hospital can wash their hands of that one person's malpractice suit easy enough.

Not to sound condescending but really? How is this not immediately your mind goes? Every piece of information ever recorded can now be summarized and cross-linked efficiently. Privacy is beyond dead.

Big Brother has NEVER EVER been more effective than it will become.

Encyclopedia Britannica:

> word processor, computer program used to write and revise documents, compose the layout of the text, and preview on a computer monitor how the printed copy will appear. The last capability is known as “what you see is what you get” (WYSIWYG; pronounced wi-zē-wig).

and

> Before word processors were available, text-editing programs offered the basic editing capabilities of word processing but without WYSIWYG. WYSIWYG depends on high-resolution bit-mapped computer graphics displays.

So encyclopaedical definition of WP puts WYSIWYG as definitive characteristic of WP from TE.

Consider the massive data breaches, such as China's OPM hack, which exposed information on US operatives; Anthem's health insurance breach; and Equifax's credit report breach. These incidents provided ample data on operatives' dependents and spouses. Coupled with TikTok's potential for real-time location monitoring, this information could enable tracking of US operatives' proxies, like their children or partners, in real time. By combining a database of Americans with background clearances, health and credit report data, and TikTok's location tracking capabilities, a dangerous and powerful surveillance tool emerges.

interesting though, that comment directly says that if I tweet in english and my interface is in german then I'll have a serious problem. Which I wouldn't think is so rare. How many people have english as their second language and use it online? It feels like this deboost would hit a lot of people. Or actually, I have my interface in english and I often tweet in german. So that would hit me from both sides.

This is easily 20 years overdue. It was obviously a major problem in the 2000s. It's not even about pedagogy -- the lack of ceremony for simple calculations is one of the reasons I reach for Python or even Typescript before Java to do one-off experiments, programming puzzles, or anything else.
Ask HN: List of (open source) C compilers
Over the years I found quite some interesting C compiler projects here on HN, sometimes introduced as its on thread, sometimes buried as a simple link deep down in some comments. Here and there I bookmarked them, but certainly not all.

It would be cool if we had one single page where all the wonderful compiler projects are collected, so my question is: can we somehow compile/assemble/put together a list of C compilers in this thread in the form of

*) Name of the project
*) Link to homepage/sourcecode
*) programming language used for the compiler
*) compiles to … (x86 binary, asm-text, etc…)
*) whatever else might be interesting

Tiny compilers / unfinished projects / educational projects / subsets of C / etc… are also very welcome.
Isn‘t it?

I love that when compared to most other professions, people in computing can have a little fun with naming or by including bits of pop culture references in their work.
If you want to design high quality UIs, read this book (Macintosh Human Interface Guidelines)[0] and ingest the concepts it explains. Even though it's not 100% applicable to a brand new software product, it may as well be -- most of the principles are totally applicable, and if you grasp the concepts from this book you will hopefully understand how to design a clearly-understandable user interface.

Apple's repair kits are a weird comparison here. The rental is $49, and that's probably at cost or close to it given the shipping costs both ways for a 79-pound box.

There's nothing malicious compliance about it... it's just a pain in the ass to repair modern ultra-light and ultra-efficient phones the "right" way.
Ayup. The whole reason why the Coliseum held together in a seismically active zone was the fact that the Romans used iron clamps and lead rebar.

One of the reasons why you see "drill holes" in the Coliseum is that was how people were extracting the valuable metals.

Of course, once the clamps and rebar were extracted, the Coliseum was now quite vulnerable to earthquakes.
It’s a lot simpler than you think, model serving is Horizontally scalable. You deploy the model running on a top of gpus each with a web server. Load balancer distributes the requests, probably a web socket streams the inference in chunks back to the client.

Preferential attachment is a real thing and unfortunately we have built more of social tech platforms around the phenomenon. When you get onto a new platform there's a short window of opportunity to stand out and if you really go at it you can pull away from the pack and become an influencer/micro-celebrity. If you have been on the platform for a while and not already 'made it' (assuming you aspire to be popular of course), then it will probably not happen unless you start over with a fresh identity and a different act.
I think the correct reading of the code is that if English is your only language, non English tweets would be weighted 0.01x on your timeline.

Mastodon lacks personalized sorting in its news feed as well as account-to-follow recommendations. A news feed that is strictly organized in chronological order becomes unusable when users follow more than 100 accounts. This can only be solved by having a centralized services like Substack.
This sounds awfully close to the bootstrap loop of singularity AGI.
Good coverage of the issue by news outlets, including naming John Deere specifically, would be far more effective not only at motivating Deere to improve their practices, but also helping the populace at large to understand the problem, build popular support for good legislation, motivating legislators to deal with the problem, and motivating other companies to avoid copying Deere's example.

Naming and shaming individuals (besides a CEO) within a company is unnecessary, and can cause destruction to lives, families, and communities that have nothing to do with the problem. It also overestimates the individual agency these people hold over what is most often a cultural and policy issue at a company.
GPT-4 won't be taking the jobs of analysts in the near future but I think it definitely can offload some of their work. People who aren't familiar with SQL (think marketing, sales, C-suite) could potentially get answers to generally more simple business questions like "Which product had the least sales within the past quarter" and GPT-4 would create the SQL with their database schema in mind

I can relate to the last bit; I sometimes have (or notice) tinnitus when going to bed. I try to think about what frequency it is exactly and it seems like the direction attention to it causes it to go away (or at least get much more quiet)
>Many insurance companies offer lower premiums if you install a car alarm. So I guess they work at least a little, otherwise they wouldn't lower their premiums.

I can think of another reason.

They run their computations- and say the insurance can be priced at $100. But hey what if we just increase to $105, and then offer a $5 discount to people who have car alarms? We get extra money (average of >100) and people think they are saving money. Who knows, might even be getting some type of kick back from the car alarm industry for promoting them.

Maybe I'm making shit up- but I've grown to hate insurance companies so much that it also makes perfect sense.
Or...it's about both.

The author has a few good points. I want to love PS as well, but in practice it has too many gotchas and pitfalls that seem to pop up every time I write a script more than a few lines.

Sure, all languages have these, but the ones in PS feel nastier and more subtle than most, compounded by the fact that it's not a language I use more than once every few months and should be easy to pick up and put down.

Basic stuff like parens, commas, function calls, casting, variable interpolation and arrays are frequently surprising. Many behaviors fail silently.

For example, arrays with 1 element behave differently than arrays with 2+ elements. PS is "smart" and treats the 1-element array as a scalar. Why? I've wasted hours dealing with arrays in PowerShell.

See this post for a sampling of the problems: https://stackoverflow.com/a/69644807/6243352

Even without the gotchas, case insensitivity, optional abbreviations, optional parens, etc, make PS scripts harder to read and debug than they need to be. PS feels like a mashup of many of the most confusing parts of PHP and Perl and adds its own fresh mess on top. Adding parameters and resolving a few of Bash's failings isn't much of an achievement given ~20 years of time to design it properly. Neither language is as easy to work with as it should be.
Great writeup. The more I learn about GhostScript / PostsScript / PDF‘s in general, the more I‘m amazed that such a complicated system can produce simple documents that are relied upon by billions of people.

I feel when like compared to a lot of other consumer facing software, PDF‘s are an incredible achievement. 99% of the time, a PDF will look and work the exact same to every user regardless of their environment. They can be editable at the exact needed places and when I print them, I can be sure the result will look exactly as I expect.

The only gripe I have with them is that while I can easily specify input fields, easily extracting that data isn‘t always as reliable.

> Twitter has been completely worthless anyway for promoting my Substack channel. In their Dashboard, it doesn't even show up in the top five referers.

It's always been very difficult to get people to leave Twitter. This is why their ad business is worth so little. Advertisers pay for clicks, and Twitter just doesn't deliver them very well.
Bank transfers are a thing. They don't require an intermediary credit card company. The problem is that currently such a transfer is usually slow because of software/protocol issues.
