> it was the live virus from the cheap vaccine, that mutated and got dangerous again

To the unvaccinated.

We recently had New York’s water tested for poliovirus. Turns out we’re lousy with it [1], most recently by an unvaccinated traveller to Europe bringing it to Long Island [2]. It’s not a problem for the vaccinated because the moment the virus hits the blood it gets zonked. Still it replicates in the gut, which is why it’s in our sewage. (IPV is not sterilising.)

Seems like you are very new to gathering information about Steve Jobs. There is a ton of literature that could answer that question for you, but to start here's Bard's answer:
Steve Jobs was not an engineer or an inventor, but he was a visionary leader who had a keen eye for design and a passion for simplicity. He was also a master of marketing and storytelling, and he was able to use these skills to create products that were both aesthetically pleasing and user-friendly.

Some of the products that Steve Jobs is credited with creating include:

The Apple II computer (1977)
The Macintosh computer (1984)
The iPod (2001)
The iPhone (2007)
The iPad (2010)
These products were all revolutionary in their own way, and they helped to shape the way we use technology today. Steve Jobs was not an engineer or an inventor, but he was a visionary leader who had a profound impact on the world.

It is true that Steve Jobs was a salesman, but he was also much more than that. He was a creative genius who had a deep understanding of human needs and desires. He was able to take complex technology and make it simple and accessible to everyone. He was also a master of marketing and storytelling, and he was able to use these skills to create products that were both aesthetically pleasing and user-friendly.

Steve Jobs was a complex and controversial figure, but there is no doubt that he was a visionary leader who had a profound impact on the world. He was a master of design, marketing, and storytelling, and he was able to use these skills to create products that changed the way we live and work.
First contribution is not the same as up-to-speed. I'll also note that a manager often needs a broader view of the company than an engineer, though at principal level I'd expect the gap to be less (but it isn't always).
You could argue that it isn't just a hypothetical future, it's a trend that already exists and has repeated multiple times over in recent history. Nothing wrong with recognizing that and warning about it ("if you don't learn history you're doomed to repeat it" or something like that).

I think that since Substack already has a monetization in subscriptions it's possible that they won't need the same revenue. But it's also hard to convince execs to leave potential revenue on the table when they see it.
It’s just an illusion. Keep moving.
Hey, at least you got to experience the ...puts on shades... Segaverse.
Can’t normal ChatGPT do most of this already?
My theory is that there is so much money on the table, that every single possible permutation of software is being tried no matter how nonsensical. It's like everybody is simultaneously brute-forcing a combination lock.

To me, I would think there is negative synergy with combining a UI framework like Svelte, with htmx's replacement abilities. One of the value props of htmx is that you don't need to use a framework like Svelte, I don't quite see the point in combining them.
It's not "pure speculation" if you've seen it happen many times, and you see the same early patterns now. That's not speculation, that's pattern recognition and intelligence.
When my partner and I did IVF I got pretty good at giving subcutaneous and intramuscular injections. The medications have to be given at set times every day so there's no way to get them at a doctor's office. I had to mix lyophilized medication and inject it using a hypodermic needle and syringe.

It's not impossible to train lay people to inject most vaccines that I've seen. Does the polio vaccine have to be injected into a specific organ or the bloodstream? Or is it subcutaneous or intramuscular? If the latter this is a solvable problem by organizing aid workers or by forming a small network of competent locals, distributing lyophilized vaccine, training, and having vaccination clinics.
They still do. But that job hasn't gotten worse, it's always been the same level of suck.
Maybe, if all that is within the four corners of the contract. I don’t think that’s what we are talking about here; our current discussion seems to involve the marketing name of a car feature (full self driving) and the technical functionality that name represents.

With that in mind it seems that you are not thinking about the Rst. 2d Torts 540 duty to investigate rule. I can be justified in relying on something (e.g., your intentionally misleading name for the feature) even if an investigation would have shown the misrepresentation was false. Instead of “totally fine and legal” I would say that this is “a fact-dependent situation.”

Do you believe that selling something called Full Self Driving that actually could not drive itself fully is within the duty of good faith and fair dealing? This sidesteps the issue of the tort of fraudulent misrepresentation and goes right to the heart of the customer confusion a product like a Tesla sows.
I don't think there is inherently anything wrong with algorithmic feeds. Algorithms work well when finding you interesting content when there is too much content to show you all of it. Netflix does this every day and people don't complain about it.

I think the real problem is when this is done with an ad-supported business model. In that model, the interests of the algorithm designer are too far removed from the interests of the user. Presumably, since substack has a subscription business model (like netflix) we may end up with algorithmic feeds that users enjoy using.
can you explain what you mean by "It just seems to be Forbes contributors with even less vetting"? I am subscribed to several different columns, with a couple of paid subscriptions, all about a very wide variety of topics—it's just a blog/podcast platform.
Something I see a lot is people looking at worst case predictions as if they were presented as the most likely predictions. A lot of the IPCC reports say things like “if we continue to increase emissions, this will happen” (a worst case scenario) and also “if we make moderate improvements, this will happen” (a slightly better scenario). Then people who don’t want to talk about climate change mitigation will highlight the worst case scenario and say “see they were wrong and hysterical!” even when the moderate prediction, which they will ignore, ended up being essentially totally accurate.
Show HN: Adding Memory to ChatGPT
I've been messing around with adding memory to ChatGPT - you can get some pretty interesting results with the right prompt and structured output. It's quite fun to see the "goals", "desires", "dreams" and "inner thoughts" of the bot as it responds to the user.

Obviously these are just generated text and the bot doesn't have any of those things, but it can be very hard to resist believing it...
How did you handle your initial relocation?

I'm an American with German citizenship and a decent (~C1) grasp of the language and I toy with the idea of moving there from time to time.

But it seems like first you need to get a company that's willing to hire you and wait for you to relocate before starting, no?
Commenting with the others: I'm a left-handed writer and an avid fountain pen user. It isn't so bad.

The best thing I can say is: try to learn to write under the line (under-hand) as opposed to hookwriting or sidewriting. Those make things pretty tough. If not, there are things you can try: Prefer extra-fine (EF) or fine (F) nibbed pens. Private Reserve and Noodler's make some fast-drying ink. This combo will often allow the ink to dry faster than your hand can get to it.

I just shared an interesting fact that I learned while posting on Substack this morning. I don't know the reason, and generally I don't think of product changes in terms of good and evil.
I get why you'd post this because in a way it's a borderline call. In another way it isn't though. If an account shows up with a name like that, only posting on that topic, and showing clear signs of flamewar*, the outcome is unfortunately pretty predictable. I felt like it would be better to just nip the problem in the bud and be clear up front—though I can see that my explanation presupposed too much that it didn't make explicit.

* The combination of "women, people of color, minorities, and other people who have never played a major part in contributing, spreading or practicing free software ethos" with "people of weak character" points clearly in a flamewar direction—a hellish one, in fact.
In the USPS (also true of the US Post Office, but that hasn’t existed for quite some time) model, the government enterprise has an enforced legal monopoly, it is not in free and open competition wih private actors.

Even with the 1 in 10000 false negative rate, I bet someone is doing the cost calculation of risk vs how many hours it would take for a doctor to check 10000 scans. Doctors themselves are not perfect so they may even have a higher error rate.
I mean in total, there are >1 billion. Annual is something like 80 million per year. The point is that BEVs do not have any kind of commanding lead. Not to mention that there's nothing stopping people from moving from BEV to FCEV. If the raw material problem rears its ugly head, existing BEV owners will simply stop buying BEVs and start buying the other kind of EV.

I'm sorry I didn't explain this more clearly when I posted earlier—I was moderating in haste, which is never a good idea.

The username is relevant because it suggests a single-purpose account and those are not allowed on HN: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que.... Pre-existing agendas are antithetical to the curious conversation we want here—which, at its best, meanders through whatever catches a person's fancy.

> nor did I intend to start a flamewar or oppose diversity

If you say that wasn't your intent, I believe you! but your comment pointed in exactly that direction—enough that we got emails complaining about it. It's fine with me if people disagree about Stallman and whatnot but the ideological battle aspect is just poison. (And yes it was in the original article too.)

Oh God, when the iPhone came out people were raging "But it doesn't have a keyboard!"

It's so hard for people, including myself, to look at the future potential of a technology. My attitude is to simply keep an open mind nowadays instead of holding very strong opinions about the trajectory of a given technology.

And the class action lawsuit will be orchestrated by an AI
Love the app, not sure why wechat shows up as the first post type for me. The summary one would probably make the most sense as it allows me to know that I've been understood in the most concise form.
The most immediate test of this will be in the form of https://www.haystack.mit.edu/geospace/geospace-projects/aero... (HeRo-> AERO & VISTA) which will test the cubesat design concept in LEO for auroral low frequency radio. These are really cool radio "telescopes" even individually and not in a coherent array because each satellite fully samples the full 3 directional components of both the magnetic field and the electrical field; a "vector" antenna. By doing this you can compute the poynting vector of the electromagnetic wave and determine it's directional of travel, and so, where it's from. In this way a single vector antenna for low frequencies, even though it's much smaller than the wavelength, can still do a sort of 'imaging' or at least direction finding.

A vector sensor is composed of three orthogonal dipole elements and three orthogonal loop elements. And if you look at the diagram in the "Great Observatory For Long Wavelength" page you won't see 6 antenna elements. But in these designs the magnetic loops can be operated either in loop mode or in dipole mode (or equiv monopole+ground) by switching the way current/voltage is sampled between the feed points. Since astronomical radio sources are (mostly) steady over microseconds this switching between modes to sample all the electric and magnetic field components works.

Vector sensors usually are only used when you're expecting strong signals though. I'm surprised at the proposal for a large array of them for general purpose low frequency work. I would've thought that at least they'd have the full physical vector sensor with 6 antenna elements rather than relying on mode switching between loop/dipole/monopole+ground sampling between the minimal set of 3 multi-purpose elements.
Feel free to come up with a new system that works better. Good luck (so far, all alternatives have proved worse, and not just slightly worse but terribly worse)

It's impressive on the surface... But give me Google and I too can pass some extremely challenging tests that I actually know nothing about.

If someone told you I passed the "bar" exam, you would be impressed. If they then said, he had google and lots of time. You wouldn't be that impressed anymore.

The impressive thing here is that AI can read and answer questions... it's not overly impressive that it can use information found online and reconstruct that a bit.
I don't think it's as simple as a mere bug rate comparison. When a human makes a whoopsie, we blame that human. Maybe it's a bit uncomfortable, but it it works to prevent them from cooperating with attempts to inject whoopsies into their code.

If we create a culture of tolerating fatal AI hallucinations as long as they happen at a rate that's below the human caused fatality baseline, we create an opportunity for bad actors to use the "nobody is to blame" window as a plausible deniability weapon (so long as they don't use it too often).

My point was to show the reality of the situation. Not to say Tesla are the best (I've never even had one), but just show the state of play.

Isn’t de Bruijn’s method specific to Penrose tiles? The aperiodic monotile paper says in section 2 that it is an open question whether the cut-and-project method can construct hat tilings. So de Bruijn would have been no help to solve Simon Tatham’s problem of how to generate hat tile puzzle grids. His two algorithms are the old one his Loopy puzzle uses for Penrose grids, and the new one it uses for hat grids.

You can play Loopy on a hat tile grid here: https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/puzzles/js/loop...

That limit is in place for student drivers to limit distractions; it's a specific mitigation to a problem specific to them. FSD needs its own.

> where is your proposal for compromise?

I'd like to see safety data reporting requirements that come from regulators, not Tesla, whose self-reported cherry-picked data points I find quite suspect. (Example of this issue: https://www.latimes.com/business/story/2022-12-27/tesla-stop...)

I'd like to see safety-critical beta software in cars undergo independent audits prior to widespread release. (My dream would be for it to be open source, but that's probably unrealistic.)

I'd like to see formalized safety testing processes of such software at the regulatory level, similar to how crash testing is currently conducted.

I'm sure others have specific, useful suggestions.

> there are none because nobody who likes pouring cold water on tesla is coming from a place of intellectual honesty.

This, ironically, doesn't sound like it comes from a place of intellectual honesty.

> how about for the countless lives that will be saved by this technology?

I certainly hope that happens someday.

As so often, the most significant news stories get the least consideration on HN. Would definitely encourage resubmission or follow-up articles from business analysts, sometimes it takes several attempts to get people to recognize that the thing in the dark room has a trunk and large ears.
What? Stallman alone changed the world 20 times more than Jobs. The indirect effects of GCC, Emacs, the FSF and GNU around Linux and servers are astounding. From Android's core to the 90% of the growth of companies on tech. And not just tech: physics, genomics... lots of them backed and helped with free software from GCC to Coreutils. At least to build and port BioPerl sucessfully. And, still, Perl's growth was closely bound to GNU and Linux.

Libre software democratized the access to technology, science and free as in freedom books on lots of term and inspired parallel licenses for media and documents.

In 1995 you would need to spend $300 dollars in books and $3500 in a proper workstation to run scientific software. Later, with GNU/Linux, the costs plummeted down. Today you have free compilers, free documentation and cheap NUCs to learn the basics on nearly any STEM career, at least if you can simulate it.

You can even compose music and multimedia FFX with libre distros and DAW software. There are even neural network based translators with libre licenses and models. That's astounding.
I can tell you that it still looks rather low-contrast and makes it harder to read for me.

Couple observations:
1) Uses AWS OpenSearch and not any of the more popular VectorDBs du jour (Pinecone, Weviate, Milvus, etc). Never used OpenSearch for ANN.
2) Obviously doesn't support OpenAI or Cohere embedding algos - understandably they want to promote the OSS / HuggingFace
3) The best AWS doc search has been actually ChatGPT (GPT4) specifically, even with the knowledge cutoff.
I used to throw all cables and adapters in a big cardboard box and let them comingle. That was a disaster, so recently I sorted everything by type and put them in large ziploc bags and put them in storage bins with lids. The bins are not clear so the bags of cables are not visible from the outside which gives the appearance of neatness.
It's a constant pain of mine to try to get people to stop having business as usual or successfully completed $PROCESS emails come out of our batch processes on our teams at work.

I am a fan of htmx, but the only time I've found it useful was when I wanted a radio option in a form to send a POST request or something like that (which was probably an anti-pattern anyway) using django templates.

I do think it's a welcome addition to the web dev space, but for me personally, it was more of a stepping stone from learning jQuery, then htmx, and then going to SPAs.
> I also have zero confidence in the Fediverse because it has no business strategy.

HTTP also has no business strategy. Any number of sites that use the protocol can have different strategies, profit-oriented or otherwise.
Thats secret services or state interests in general, they have a goal and rest is collateral damage. In some cases its neglible, in some other its massive and borderline genocide. Not that people in general care about it that much, those people dont have US or EU passports to cause much outrage.

I am little bit afraid the best possible outcome would be some lesson for the future, but I dont think its even that. More like a lot of bragging about success part, and thats it. I guess human life in general has completely different value for average HN user like you and me, compared to some military or intelligence high rank.
> FAANG experience

From a recruiter's perspective, this can be a red flag because they know how much you are worth, and the fact that you worked successfully there means you can probably return. So they might not want to hire you thinking "this guy can leave us for Meta/Google any day".

> ETA: A few of the recruiters I have talked with have mentioned that they’re getting hundreds of applications within hours of a posting going live. So there is likely a “lost in volume” effect as another commenter mentioned.

The real question is what's the signal to noise ratio?

Getting 500 resume for a job posting is not really a new thing for any in-demand, remote friendly company in the bay area. From experience, most applicants on these postings are underqualified (it's free to apply).
Heh. Yeah, terminal door sag is an issue with these. I think I'm on my third set of hinge pins. At least they're easy to replace!
Exactly this.

This is a different 'Leap' than the ones before it. It's a leap with an API. Now hundreds of thousands of company's can fine tune it and train it on their specific business task.

parroting your point, it will take years for the true fecundity of the technology in chat GPT 4 to be fully fleshed out.
