Isn't this most things? Maybe my search skills have gotten bad but it seems like it takes several minutes to filter out spam and scroll through SEO filler. ChatGPT immediately gives me the answer with no bullshit.

Also, how do you define failure? I've asked ChatGPT+GPT-4 to write poetry and have been quite satisfied with its response.
> Centralized institutions are unfair and can be in-equal, but they are actually really great. When the financial becomes unstable, these institutions intervene and settle things down (see the Great Depression).

Interestingly, there is a well respected school of thought in economics that pins the blame for the boom/bust cycle on artificially manipulating interest rates via that exact centralization.

> When someone steals from my credit card, I just call up my bank and they fix it.

I'm not really sure how that is an example of "centralization." A private lender with whom you've entered into a loan agreement does not control the supply of the currency. They could just as easily be lending you gold or bread. I'm no cyrpto fanboy ... couldn't really care less about it ... but in theory there is no reason that a bank couldn't lend you Bitcoins or something. If there is a problem with the currency that's going to bite you regardless of what the currency is.

I think the strongest case for crypto was using it as a hedge against inflation. Inflation being an increase in the supply of fiat currency. Something that, whether you subscribe to the "Mises school" of economics or not, is irrefutably caused by the central bank creating new currency out of thin air, thus diluting the purchasing power of the existing money in circulation. I propose that that is "irrefutable" because, in order to debunk it, you would have to demonstrate that the law of supply and demand is false and/or that currency is not a commodity subject to the same "rules" as every other.

We actually tried something similar when I ran Tinfoil - people worked really hard and started getting burnt out because they weren’t “getting away from it” at home.

Roughly once a month or two, we would pick a 3-day weekend (we made sure to have a 3-day holiday every month anyway) and would reimburse employees up to $80 for doing something that was “outside their norm.” Could be almost anything, but couldn’t be material (i.e. buying a video game). Nobody was forced to, of course, and if people wanted to stay home they could, but we found that folks were much more willing to get out and try something new if it was on the company dime.

Plus, then people would inevitably come back with stories to tell their colleagues, which sort of spiraled into encouraging that behavior in the future. We even ended up with an internal wiki page of ideas of “what to do” with your reimbursement weekends, all of which involved getting out and doing things outside or with other people. Not everyone participated every time, but it was definitely one of our most-beloved benefits.
I actually had to check the publish date on this. The first few paragraphs are absurd.
It's the same rule, just optimized.
I don’t agree with nearly anything you said here. I think we’re looking at path one for the most part, augmentation, not replacement. It doesn’t matter what business believes one whit. It matters entirely what the reality supports. Otherwise the morons who fired their arts team have to spend the time and money to build a new one once their competition rubs their face in their mistake.

Richard Stallman is a bit out there, to put it gently.

AGI will happen no matter what we do. I think is unavoidable. I don’t think any amount of caution or regulation will prevent it, it will just happen in another country. But it’s still worth trying when it makes sense. It’s too early right now. There may well be no room for humans in such a world, nobody knows yet, but I also don’t think we can escape our fate. It may be that all biological intelligent life that builds technological civilization also inevitably makes themselves obsolete through that same innovation.

Focusing on AI as the thing to fix for people losing jobs is just stupid. The thing to fix is the unjust society with no safety net that you guys have created in the USA. Start there. Start today.

Both the swamp was either high or dry. When it was wet one really needed motivation to go wading although we had swimming holes. When it was dry the water ways were clearly defined and could be avoided. The cold blooded creatures were I believe dormant at this time. Although being able to see the ground gave me a lot of confidence. No doubt my Dad would be locked up today although the judge would have had a hard time figuring out which parent was the responsible party.
If you are doing LLM, of course you do. But an amazing OSS vector DB has yet to arrived. The number of vectors it could handle needs to be in the billions, at least.

Dumb appliances still have firmware on their microcontrollers to control things like wash program, indicators, sensor feedback, you name it. Making a full functioning appliance without the micro would incur huge engineering and BOM costs that can be replaced with a $0.50 micro.
California has 1/8th the US population, so it's double on a per-capita adjusted basis. IIRC if you also adjust for housing prices (which, perhaps unsurprisingly is correlated with homeless population) the adjusted rate is even closer. To the degree that weather affects housing costs (maybe not in the bay area, but SoCal and parts of the central coast this has an effect), the worsening weather might improve the homeless situation.
Please describe what is meant by "waning enthusiasm", and how that figures into project fitness for purpose.

In general, though I use Go daily, I also see significant benefit to learning Rust, and applaud Microsoft's efforts to support it within a Windows context. That said, I see them as both complementary options AND distinct tool choices within a systems context.

I was nearly shot by a gang in Miami for parking in front of the wrong house with a white panel van with tinted windows. Never had such an experience in any other US city. I managed to get away after a five minute high speed chase on city streets. Cops were nowhere in sight at any point and time was of the essence so calling 911 was not an option.

I am not sure I understand your question. I am not actually spending any money here. I am just creating a one-time use debit card that has a spending limit of $1. Once I provide the card number to a vendor for a free trial, that card is now locked in for that vendor alone. It can't be used with any other vendor. When the trial ends, the vendor will charge my card for an amount equivalent to their subscription, which is usually way higher than $1. The card will decline this transaction. The $1 limit was never used so you don't spend any money. Delete the card whenever you want. I usually delete one-time use cards once every few months.

Edit: It's more like a debit card than a credit card.

Many of the people who are succeeding are good at writing prompts. Garbage in garbage out is true with LLMs too. Skeptics who hate AI are going to have prompt biases (perhaps subsconscious, perhaps conscious) as well.
It completely depends on where you live in SF. The people in the wealthy hyper gentrified areas are baffled that people would think the city is unsafe.

Meanwhile people with less income are exposed daily to an epidemic of drug addiction, homeless, theft, mental illness, all problems with straightforward solutions that the residents are screaming for.

Its not one or the other, its both. Just because you live in a safe neighborhood does not mean that everyone that doesn’t isn’t being “data driven” or “logical” enough.
Yes. Where is often lovely -- I want to delegate details, and not think about them yet, but keep that delegation scoped to the function that needs the relevant details.

But calling auxiliary functions "go" is almost always bad naming.
>Name the most nonsensical camp b-rated Bollywood spy thriller you've ever seen, one where actors land on their feet after getting blown 50 feet into the air. It still makes more sense than this.

Why does it it need to "make sense" -- to you (or me, for that matter)?

I'm sure it made sense to this kid, at least on some level(s). I remember when I was 21. I did all kinds of stupid shit -- often for no reason other than I felt like it at the moment -- even when I regretted it later.

I'm probably lucky I didn't have a security clearance or I might have ended up just like this kid.

And I keep using that word: kid. And it absolutely does mean what I think it means. A 21 year old is (with very few exceptions) not yet an adult[0]:

Although the brain stops growing in size by early adolescence, the teen years
are all about fine-tuning how the brain works. The brain finishes developing
and maturing in the mid-to-late 20s. The part of the brain behind the
forehead, called the prefrontal cortex, is one of the last parts to mature.
This area is responsible for skills like planning, prioritizing, and making
good decisions.

This is an area where you really have to be careful of recency bias.

Consider that someone who was born in the early 1900s and lived to their 90s would have witnessed (just in the area of technology change): the introduction of electricity in the home, perhaps also seen their house go onto municipal water and sewage. The move from horse-drawn to automobiles. The introduction of flight. The introduction of broadcast radio, then the introduction of TV, then the introduction of the internet. Not to mention a sea change in agriculture, etc.

It's tempting to think "wow things are so much faster now", but that was pretty damn fast. It's especially risky to base the idea of real rate of change on the current hot topics, that usually ends up being wrong (but not always).
This and some of the "presidents play minecraft" videos my kids have shown me is the best internet entertainment i've had in a long while. It does remind me of the early days funny stuff that could be found on the Internet. Super absurd and ridiculous and made just for fun.

As a software engineer that spends a lot of time in marketing, I didn't find GPT 3.5 useful for anything besides writing marketing copy faster.

I have found GPT-4, on the other hand, to be excellent at writing complicated SQL queries, one-off scripts in just about any language, expanding and fleshing out content ideas from just a seed of insight, and debugging cryptic error messages. Among some other one-off use cases, but these I use on a recurring basis.
I think Elm is second to none as a tool for learning FP.

It compiles quickly, the guidance offered in error messages are best in class, it's small, and the mental model is consistent.

In fact I think it's far easier to learn Elm (and also perhaps web UI development wouldn't be such a shitshow if programmers earlier in their career used Elm to build their mental model) than it is to learn:

- React

- Redux

- Immutable.js

- Lodash/Ramda

- ES${CURRENT_YEAR}

- Webpack/Parcel/Grunt/Groan/Whatever

- etc…

I've seen so many early programmers go through some React course thinking they've learned FP, and yet struggle to solve basic problems by applying functions to values.

You joke, but I decided I wanted to try out Kubernetes, so I set it up at home and moved some of my local services into it, one of them being my custom lighting automation software. Eventually my lights just stopped working, and after a lot of rummaging it turned out to be expired certificates. I promptly put the software back where it was before, removed Kubernetes, and decided there were better things for me to play around with.

Show HN: NeverPrinter – find and use thousands of nearby printers
Hi all,

My friends and I have created a Chrome extension and we are looking for feedback on whether people find it useful or not.

The extension is intended to serve as a home printer substitute for people (like us) who don't want or need their own printer at home. It makes it easy to send documents to nearby office supply / shipping stores for printing and pickup.

Installing the extension adds a printer named NeverPrinter to your list of available printers in Chrome. When you print a document with NeverPrinter, a new tab opens allowing you to select which nearby store you want to send the document to.

This is the latest iteration in an ongoing project my friends and I have been working on. We would love to hear any positive or negative feedback.

You can get the extension by going to the Chrome Web Store and searching for "NeverPrinter." Or you can visit https://neverprinter.com, which will redirect you there.

Hey there! I'm one of the folks working on Dolly - Dolly-V2 is based on the GPT-NeoX architecture. llama.cpp is a really cool library that was built to optimize the execution of the Llama architecture from Facebook on CPUs, and as such, it doesn't really support this other architecture at this time from what I understand. Llama also features most of the tricks used in GPT-NeoX (and probably more), so I can't imagine it's a super heavy lift to add support for NeoX and GPT-J in the library.

We couldn't use Llama because we wanted to use a model that was able to be used for commercial use, and the Llama weights aren't available for that kind of use.
Maybe a Vim expert can help me out. I’ve used Vim for a long time, but never with any plugins, and only a few lines in my .vimrc.

My problem is that the syntax highlighting, specifically for TypeScript is pretty bad. I have a regular expression (for parsing front matter) that seems to cause Vim’s syntax highlighting to go haywire (it stops and sometimes crashes).

Is anyone aware of a way to get more reliable syntax highlighting in Vim, ideally with a minimum of fuss?
New programmers who did not have chance to learn "properly" might not be able of "intervening".
That would obviously depend on the failure mode. But there certainly are failure modes which could be quite damaging, and an ECU may have limited ability to determine what failure mode is occurring, and even if it has sensors that can indicate certain failure modes, it is not always clear if those can be trusted, as they there be additional failure modes that make sensors give misleading results.

So shutting it down certainly seems sensible.
If you want a solution that isn't perfect, but is at least slightly better:

Store the key in your code but in a basic encrypted string, and then decrypt it at runtime.

Yes, it's still easy to get if someone is motivated, but it's a lot harder to read the machine calls figuring out what method was used to encrypt the string (make it a method that can't be figured out from only the encrypted string), than it is to read the plaintext key from the Plist.

Bad in theory, helpful in practice.
Show HN: AI Studio
Hey all!

I've just launched a new service called AI Studio - https://aistud.io - a web based node/graph editor and runtime engine for building and executing complex intelligent systems. It makes it easy to build all sorts of complex AI systems with feedback loops, memory, conditional logic, interaction with the outside world, and lots more.

AI Studio has an open source execution core built in Elixir, and you can export the systems you create with AI Studio and run them on your own hardware.

There's some more detail in the announcement blog post here: https://aistud.io/blog/introducing-ai-studio

There are templates to get started with common patterns, like the Parallel Conversation pattern for extracting structured information from a chat interaction, or the Aritist/Editor/Publisher pattern which can be used to automatically improve the quality of generated text and images.

I'm taking inspiration from modular synthesizers, so you'll see some funny modules like the Sample and Hold and the Clock, but there's also some general programming nodes like a Key-Value Store, a Ring Buffer, JSON parsing, GET and POST, a Comparator and a Switch Case.

AI Studio is a totally independent project, but if anybody is interested in collaborating, let me know! I've got some wild plans for the next phase of development.

There's more information in the blog post, and I'll be writing more about how it works under the hood and exploring different patterns, but if you've got any questions I'll be happy to answer them.

Cheers!,
Rich

It's also been my experience that it fails at anything I could actually need it for.

1) tried to use it to generate some complex Typescript types that I couldn't remember how to do. Result was invalid Typescript.

2) tried to get it to write a product description of a CNC plasma table with IHS and THC. Result was entirely factually inaccurate because it didn't know the difference between THC and IHS.
Perplexity returns too short, too broad and too generic encyclopedia-esque results I am already aware of. At least for my kind of queries.

I think the person you're replying to is saying that:

- If a government arrests someone, it should be forced to acknowledge both that it happened AND give the reason for arrest

- Media should have the right to report on arrests, without interference from the government.

This protects from abuses of power against for example political opponents. Of course, these same laws make arrests for common crimes problematic for the people being arrested. And I don't think it is feasible to codify an objective line between the two.

Given how heavily and uncritically the initial theory of a homeless/lower class person as the killer was promoted (not least of all here on HN), I think it made a lot of sense to reveal that the actual suspect now arrested worked in the tech industry and was acquainted with the victim.

Beyond that, it's nor clear to me that revealing the actual name or other personal details of the suspect serves a legitimate purpose of advancing justice or society; however, it is not out of keeping with journalistic practice in other criminal cases in California. Suspects' names get printed in newspapers for far lower profile crimes all the time.
