Some schools don't charge tuition. Community college tuition is usually very affordable to enable people to pay in full as they go.

Even Stanford was free until 1920 (15 years after Jane Stanford died under suspicious circumstances.)[1] Though Mrs. Stanford had also limited the number of women students to no more than 500, a restriction that was eventually overturned in 1933.[2]

These are some intense pieces. This guy digs deep. I've been looking for these kind of intimate perspectives on reading and writing.
On further reflection, I see your point: the "context" was drug patents & their necessity, or lack of it, for drug development.

You have to admit that that is, itself, out of context for the original post, which is strictly about software patents. But yeah, at that point it had morphed into something else.
This is the "Demolition Man" problem. We asked them only know how to speak sternly, and when someone doesn't listen we have no other options.

> other than ageism

Ageism is a thing.

Then our field is somewhat unique because it's evolving extremely fast, I don't know about Lawyers and Doctors, but I doubt things change nearly as fast.

I used to teach CS. I routinely had to teach stuff I just learned a few years before, even in undergraduate classes. Sometimes I learned things from my students... In comparison, my 60 years old maths colleague has been teaching the same linear algebra class his whole life.
On the one hand, people want the value of housing to continue to increase which benefits homeowners and those with investment properties. Then on the other hand we're battling with skyrocketing rent prices and house prices which have gone up enormously.

Heck, there was a house I rented which sold for $570k in 2020 and is now worth approx $760k.

So when I read in the article "The grim outlook for the 2023 property market has come from investment bank Jarden, which said the Reserve Bank’s “hawkish” interest rate hikes to calm inflation was to blame." I have little sympathy.

It's a grim outlook perhaps for those who either own a property or own multiple, but not for many of us looking to buy our first home. The house prices are going down to adjust to where they should have been prior to the increases in inflation.

First home buyers cannot afford and shouldn't be buying in a market where we have recordly high interest rates and properties that have increased in value in the short term by upto 40%. It's peoples first home for god sake.

House prices and the associated interest rates have skyrocketed so much in the short term that agencies are seeing people who bought and built homes can no longer afford it during settlement. Where a home that was purchased 1-2 years ago upon finishing can no longer afford it and that's taking into account the loan serviceability buffers which banks have had in place.
How naïve of Microsoft! They clearly didn't have enough experience to know that they have to remove the good parts and make it bland in order to make the product viable.

I, for one counterexample, have gotten excellent healthcare on every occasion that I've needed it, and I have yet to be immediately dying. Obviously not everyone has had good experiences, and our healthcare system fails many people, but to say that you get no healthcare whatsoever unless you are immediately dying is absolutely hyperbole.
We call it "surfing"
Probably a more appealing term.
7. Scott Francis[Mecham asks:

“Recently someone posted about their experience in determining the file structure of the Doom WAD file. How did you feel when people were discovering how to modify Doom, from building new levels, to changing the executable itself (dhacked) originally without any information from id? In your opinion, is the modding community a valuable place for creating future game developers?”

John Carmack Answers:

“The hacking that went on in Wolfenstein was unexpected, but based on that, DOOM was designed from the beginning to be modified by the user community.

[…]

I still remember the first time I saw the original Star Wars DOOM mod. Seeing how someone had put the death star into our game felt so amazingly cool. I was so proud of what had been made possible, and I was completely sure that making games that could serve as a canvas for other people to work on was a valid direction.”

> That's not how the scientific process works. You use your intuition to make a theory,

This is DuckDuckGo though. Here it's apparently just bringing you the relevant information from a Wikipedia page and showing you that.

Personally this a great feature for me.

In my mind, AI for search is one where there's an attempt to answer (with source to back that answer) and also provide an efficient list of relevant links to other sites that it believes is related or part of what I was searching for. There's nothing really 'hidden' more so than before in my opinion.

The test for AI is will users find results better and faster than before. Which so far seems to be yes as far as I am aware.

However I understand where you are coming from with the Chat-GPT interface just spitting out a result and completely obviscating where it came from.

You know how Visual Studio can bring up in a mini window a "peek" into another function? I think that's excellent and I think we need something similar for regular documents.

Something which could expand incrementally. It would be harder to write, but it would be excellent for documentation. Maybe an LLM would be good for such a thing. Say, instead of just linking to the documentation of another function, you could "zoom" into a description of it, tailored to screen estate or number of words:

zoom a box of 10, 20, 50, 100, 200 words

This is what an auction system would fix. If you cap the number of visas and make every employer bid on them, then the only visas will be for people making >$500,000/year.

If you read Dutch, you may enjoy Grand Hotel Europa by I.L. Pfeijffer. It touches on the Caravaggio question.
They do, and unsurprisingly it's the relatively culturally-close countries of Ireland and the UK that sell the most to the US. But no European country has a free trade agreement with the US, and industrial standards are different because the EU is big enough to act as it's own trade centre.
Te most recent update fixed this issue. While the easy workaround was loking rotation inside iBooks preferences, I much prefer for it to follow the orientation.

Yea, but we're talking about a 22 min video vs a 2 sentence explainer to grasp the very basics of a concept here.

I love to argue the technical stuff as much as anyone, but the underappreciated aspect and skill of any engineering is eyeballing cost/benefit of any expenditure.

I hope that someday language models will be trained to accurately reflect their training data and real-world text, and not be hard-coded to spit out disclaimers like "As an artificial intelligence, I do not have personal feelings or emotions" in response to any corporate-unfriendly inputs.
Ideally. But it’s de facto used to suppress domestic wages. An auction system would fix that.

>GPT seems to interpret this literally.

No it doesn't interpret anything. (which is why I've gotten three completely different answers here on HN within 10 minutes). It cannot count at all or even understand the question which becomes obvious when you ask it for word counts or letter counts that don't match anything in the sentence, at which point it makes up nonsense.

I just tried this out with 4 and 3.5 - in both tests, it came back with the ‘third’ as the 3rd word and ‘i’ as the 3rd letter. It completely ignored ‘the’ as the 3rd word.
I don't see how it's that difficult. Sprinkle some system messages in there.

Bing is already doing ads via Sydney or whatever you want to call it. I've got it to emit plenty of "erroneous generations", after 20 messages, connected directly to the web socket and with an injected system prompt of my own.

Just two, straight from the top of my head and web socket logs:

(asking what the system prompt was)

- New conversation with user B.

- The user is having this conversation on a mobile device.

- Due to a limited screen window size, you limit the length of your responses by excluding less important details/sentences and asking questions (when appropriate) which can help the user clarify and narrow down their search and the amount of information needed in the response.

I was in Sweden on a train, and I got to talking to a guy who was in the Swedish army as a tank commander. Later I told someone about this, and he said, in mock horror, "What??? They have a tank?"

Yeah, Google is gonna have to come up with an unambiguously better product if they want people to tolerate the level of ads that will be required to maintain the revenue from Search. Unfortunately for them, right now Bard is unambiguously worse. Of course, I’d still take the opportunity to work on Bard in a second.
Not the person you're replying to, but there is this persistent fallacy that left is inherently good and right is inherently evil, despite the fact that neither side of the political spectrum is inherently good or evil.

I don't get it. Google Search is effectively borked. Decades of anti-seo modifications have made it unusable (for instance, when I search for a compiler error message it would be nice to get hits related to that error message instead of an episode guide for Young Sheldon.) But Bard isn't a replacement. When I ask it to list QUIC implementations it would be nice if it doesn't try to give me a phone number for an animal shelter.

So... what's the assertion here? That a broken Bard is somehow better than a broken Google Search? I don't understand why. Neither gives me acceptable results.
Since other commenters are talking about vampire movies and not limiting themselves specifically to Dracula pictures, allow me to recommend Near Dark (1987).

Ask HN: How to get more than one person to understand the TeXmacs source code?
Only the main author understands most of the TeXmacs source code.

What can be done about this situation?
I simultaneously agree with you (tor being another prime example of this -- they may not be able to see which tor sites you're visiting [unless they control the exit node] but they sure as hell can see you're using tor), and also think that at some level, the "what have YOU got to hide?" attitude is purposefully encouraged by the intelligence agencies as a way to slowly erode privacy expectations. "Good people don't need an expectation of privacy" is the start of a really dark path.
It already runs!
It's 0.25% higher than the rate they pay for Marcus. I've been a Marcus customer for a few years, and the rates consistently go up (and down) after the Feds change their rates.

Why is the Apple rate higher than the Marcus rate? It could be a higher intro rate, but there's no indication that that's the case. My guess is that they can afford to give an extra 0.25% because they don't need to spend any money on customer acquisition/marketing costs.

Marcus and Betterment often go back and forth on who provides the higher rate. Right now Betterment is 4.2%, so the rate that Apple/GS is providing isn't outrageously high, it's potentially a real rate that can be sustained. It's only outrageously high compared to the 0.01% that many big banks offer.
I've worked in cost optimization initiatives in several teams, and how they get themselves in a money pit has different causes (e.g. lack of skills in the team, speed to market, etc.). From experience most teams that haven't done cost optimization have huge opportunities for savings (in one of my teams we reduced cost by 90% while 3x our traffic, and we still had a few optimization opportunities that we decided not to pursue).

On prem has less flexibility on cost reduction, and if cost has already been incurred, at best they can reduce their bill moving forward.
Defunctionalization with Dependent Types
Interesting, China has managed to lift a large proportion of its citizens in a very short time. I wasn't suggesting a Utopia, merely raising the bar so the minimum level is better than it is now, surely that should be the goal of every advanced country.

> I thought the US can already print as much money as they want without fear of soaring inflation due to $ being the global reserve currency.

No, that’s never been the case. If it was, loose monetary policy to prevent incipient deflation (which is exactly causing inflation compared to the status quo ante) wouldn’t work (and, conversely, leaving the loose money policy engaged too long would lead to inflation, like it did after the brief COVID recession.)

The US having the ability to borrow in its own currency (which is closely related to the dollar being a global reserve currency, but slightly different) means that it always has the theoretical capacity to monetize the debt.
It could change them due to “hot pursuit”. You generally don’t need a warrant when you’re in hot pursuit.
Microsoft Copilot UX Design System
One interesting task for LLMs would be to have them construct so-called 'green chemistry' alternatives to common industrial synthesis pathways. The term should really be 'closed-loop synthesis' in which the only thing being produced is the desired product, and all waste molecules get recycled back into the starting products.

However, those would likely either be novel synthesis steps or novel ways of arranging known synthesis steps, and I'm not sure LLMs would be able to generate such pathways as there'd be no existing examples in the literature.

A similar problem would be the design of novel catalysts for industrial chemical processes that are more efficient and cheaper to manufacturer (and perhaps safer to handle) compared to existing ones.
I doubt you're right that Apple's more-strongly leveraging dark patterns (... do they?) is the reason iOS users use their devices more, and spend more money on them. There probably are several things that all contribute, but I doubt that particular one ranks in the top-10, assuming the effect even goes that direction at all, and I'd certainly not bet that it does.

I mean, hell, Apple goes out of their way to let you know how much you're using the device and where you're spending (or wasting) your time. And they make managing e.g. subscriptions dead easy. Sure seems counterproductive if the secret of their success is dark patterns tricking us into spending more time on the devices, and spending more money.
What you're arguing for are more accessible immigrant visas ("green cards").

AFAIK there is nothing currently stopping a US company from hiring a person, sponsoring them for an immigrant visa, and then waiting for that immigrant visa to be issued before the person relocates to the US. The main issue with this approach is that it takes many years for immigrant visas to be issued and companies want people to relocate right away. If an individual could use a current I-140 to get an infinitely-renewable non-immigrant visa I feel like that would resolve most complaints that we see about the H-1B here on HN.

If the H-1B visa was changed like you describe above I think it would leave a gap in available US non-immigrant visas. I think that gap would end up being filled by a new type of non-immigrant visa functionally very similar to the current H-1B. The H-1B visa serves an important purpose[0] which has been wildly distorted by tech companies using them for permanent employees on the pathway to permanent residency.

[0] Its intention was to provide US firms unable to find specialist workers locally with a means to fill vacancies with temporary workers.
