Interesting, this is a harder problem than I'd guess. Prompts like this fail around line 16 with ChatGPT using GPT-3.5:

```
lst = [1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0]

x = 0
for i, bit in enumerate(lst):
x ^= bit
print(x)
```

After a bit of "debugging", it looks like the errors are introduced because it fails to read the correct values from the input. Explicitly prompting it to label the input values works reliably up to 60, then it hits the ChatGPT output limit and cuts off the response:

And they didn't because GPT was a term of art in the industry long before it was a gleam in OpenAI's trademarking eyes.
A small correction re: Cranelift -- I had originally prototyped with egg, but we're currently using a variant of egraphs I invented called "acyclic egraphs" after working through performance and productionization issues, with our own implementation. Egg is great for what it is; a production compiler is just a really particular and demanding environment. I'll be giving a talk about it at EGRAPHS 2023 (in the meantime there are details in the RFC you linked). E-graphs are cool! :-)
>but it wasn't begging the question either.

Yeah, I think you're correct here. I'll clarify what I meant:

The title statement is "How electrons find the path of least resistance", and what I replied to said, "They take all paths weighted by resistance".

The underlying question remains: how do the electrons "know" what the weights are? When a new charge carrier enters the maze, how does it "know" that "turning left" will be an easier trip than "turning right"? How do most of them end up taking the express lane?

I guess the original comment wasn't meant to answer this question, but rather rephrase it to be a more accurate question in the first place. I misread it as an answer.

Asking LLM to write complex code could approach the speed of writing the code yourself. Having it plan it out could however kick start a nice direction. LLMs are great for single clear function code.
If that's the case, then the problem should be approached as a societal, "people don't understand the consequences of their actions" problem and not a "the economy is going to die tomorrow" problem.
Are there any valuable economic outputs of direct air capture?

Things like growing trees and soil can augment the output of existing industries. For example, plant tree > tree captures carbon > cut down tree and use wood for durable goods and structures. It captures carbon in a profitable way. Likewise, growing the soil can improve farm yields and reduce reliance on chemical inputs.
Rods from god are roughly as powerful as nukes, which is bad but a single nuke wouldn't end planetary civilization. If the belters were able to throw things at relativistic speeds you'd have a problem, but there's also no stealth in space so it's feasible to monitor space traffic around a large planet and deflect anything incoming, be it a projectile launched from longer range or an untrusted, uninspected, shady-looking belter ship.

Politicians and leaders are betting on tech solutions because no one is ready or willing to implement massive reduction in CO2 production and bear the societal consequences.

Once we get to sulfide injection we'll just factor it into acceptable levels of CO2 production, to keep things running until nothing can be done about adapting to climate change anymore.

If anything, Covid convinced me that's the kind of scenario to expect.

Of course I hope for something else but better be prepared for the worst.
Is it really fair to blame it on the technology? After a couple of oopsies it seems like it's more of a management issue than a technology issue.

I imagine it's a lot easier to deflect blame by blaming it on computers though.

The definition of securities in the US is governed by the Howey test, which is over 75 years old. It's a test which is very well-established in case law, with ample precedent that can be relied on to help fine-tune aspects like how "other" someone has to be in the "derived from the efforts of others" prong of the test. This isn't some vague unknowable thing.
That being said be leery of companies that are selling themselves as "small business" in contrast with startups. I've seen this a lot over the last year, and in each case the management has been . . . problematic at best.

People who are starting a business will just start a business and call it a business. People who are marketing themselves as a small business right now, and comparing it to a startup, seem to be a weird third group.

I'm not following your use cases. Why do you need an association database to look for files named .docx or .pdf? I could see it possibly being useful for apps like VLC which open a number of different file types, but then if I used multiple apps to open videos I'd have to remember all the apps I used in order to do that search.
Are we referring to Psychohistory here?
This might be true for business apps, but I don’t see any suitable replacements (by a long shot) for mechanical CAD, Adobe Suite, etc.

Windows could (can?) read all the metadata out of MP3s and photos and edit it, use it as columns and virtual groups/folders (IIRC). Most file managers I know are limited to filenames and a couple of dates attached (tags are too easy to implement, they’re manual, I’m not impressed)

Coming from Vista, Tiger’s Finder was a joke and it still is to this day (with the obvious exception of QuickLook, which is great)

Right, and those are securities, but gold itself is not a security because it's relatively difficult to trade.
That’s not even remotely the same as showing up at their office and asking them to apply the law to your specific scenario. That’s what lawyers do. And if your lawyers are unsure they can ask the SEC via the No Action letter process. For CoinBase to say “well we had a bunch of meetings and we asked them to explain the law to us” is disingenuous because of course they’re not going to get an answer that way. That’s not how the SEC works and that isn’t their job. Do you know why they didn’t go the No Action route? Because they knew the answer they’d get and they didn’t like it.
But that article also describes a 5-door hatchback that has the same pillars as the wagon.

These terms are not fixed and not mutually exclusive.

I’ve always considered wagons to be based on sedans and with the same length as the sedan but with the trunk expanded into an open cargo area with a hatch/door.

A hatchback is similar but typically, the cargo area is shorter than the sedan and often the hatch is less vertical and contains less space.

An SUV was originally designed like a wagon but built on a truck platform and typically given 4WD.

A CUV is generally a tall wagon build on a sedan/hatchback chassis.

A crossover is more vaguely defined but is built on a sedan chassis with expanded cargo space but less boxy than a wagon and typically only slightly taller than a sedan. A lot a vehicles that are sometimes called SUVs would really fall into the crossover category (Mustang Mach-E, Hyundai Ionic 5)
Join me in creating the most fun and intuitive programming language ever made!
Hey everyone,

I've been wanting to create a new programming language that's simple, fun, and engaging. I'm looking for your ideas and feedback on what you would like to see in this new language. Here are a few questions to get the conversation started:

What features or concepts do you think are missing in existing programming languages?
What makes a programming language fun and engaging to use?
What type of projects would you use this language for?
What would be the ideal learning curve for this language?
How can we make this language accessible to beginners?
I'm open to any and all ideas, no matter how big or small. If you have any thoughts, please share them in the comments! Also, if you're interested in contributing to the development of this language, please let me know. I would love to collaborate with others on this project.

Let's create something awesome together!
There's no product you can buy that will make you a better software engineer other than time off from work so you can explore, learn, and develop according to your own interests.
You can use github repos to communicate just fine and no one is requiring usage of discord lol.
> Isn’t being friends with your neighbors a far more obvious answer to this?

It's great when it turns out your neighbors are good people. I live in a rural area, on a 1/4 mile driveway up a wooded hill, and I'm very lucky that the other two families living up on the hill with us are great folks. We all hang out together, celebrate holidays together, share each other's properties like it is one big compound, and raised each other's kids. We've basically become one big family. It was a huge benefit in fighting off loneliness during covid to be able to be one big 'pod'.

But the last place I lived, the neighbors were kind of jerks, and after trying to be friendly with them for a while I just gave up. As they were the only neighbors around, I was kind of stuck until I moved.
We went from 4-5 countries getting nuclear weapons in the first 15 years, and an era of about 60 nuclear tests each year in the 30 years after that, to the current era where it's about one country every 10-20 years gaining nuclear weapons and basically no tests happening. I'd say that's a massive improvement.

We've also mostly stopped with firebombing, and have seriously dialed back the chemical and biological weapons that were much more popular in the WWI/WWII era.
Most consensus algorithms assume some subset of possible behaviors from the misbehaving nodes. The algorithms that don't are called "Byzantine" and are a very short list (e.g. the situation where a node can lie and maliciously try to misinform other nodes about the state of the system).

If you can tell that a node failed, there are usually other opportunities for circuit-breaking than shooting it, such as at the hypervisor, load-balancer, or even clients.
So the Cloud is the cheaper option, if you factor in energy cost and hardware depreciation.

> Well...of course? If I pretend my blog post is written by Bill Gates, more people will read it. This is basic human nature.

I think the tragedy is that the attention doesn't follow quality or value, it follows fame and gimmicks. In your example, Bill Gates's stupidest brain farts will get 1000x more positive attention that an objectively-better tour-de-force that almost anyone else posts.

The interesting thing to me is how much less subsequent wars have made it into popular culture. Vietnam is still pivotal in the US, but the Iraq war and twenty-year occupation of Afghanistan have kind of vanished? There's a sort of layer of "generic middle Eastern war" in popular culture, via Call Of Duty and action movies, but not anything more realistic?

> Will Hitler continue to be the go-to example of prime evil in people's minds then? I'm not so certain.

Prior to this it seems to have been https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sack_of_Magdeburg (someone once asked the question on Reddit "what the go-to example of war horror was before WW2")

Once the TV cameras re-enter eastern Ukraine perhaps we will see. Or perhaps not, given that it will be too horrific to show on social media or TV anywhere.
Why would the SEC need congressional action to regulate securities (which is what some of the crypto tokens traded on exchanges are)?

Why would Coinbase think that it could run a securities brokerage, exchange, and clearing house without registering with the SEC?

Just because you've added '... But on the internet' to your business model does not require additional legislature to determine whether or not you are trading securities.
This is totally backwards. Anyone can upload music and have it heard around the world. As another commenter stated, the problem for artists is oversupply. How do you propose capitalism or any economic system will make the situation better? What do "profit sharks" have to do with this?

NZ doesn't have a separate capital gains rate like the US, but capital gains are still taxed as income, so donating stocks might actually be more worthwhile there unless there is some special tax treatment. Obviously simplified filing is nice.
Re (3) I almost think it implies the opposite: if everyone has access to synthetic data from large foundation models, it will be those that have their own proprietary data that can stand out. This is already true imo. There are lots of competing models with similar performance on imagenet, but when you get into niche computer vision, data is the main differentiator.

There is really no reason there needs to be flights between the major cities in the north east. It's wild that its not easy and quick to get between major cities.

New York City and Boston are roughly 200 miles apart and it takes four hours by car and four hours by transit. Tokyo and Osaka are 365 miles apart by car and an seven hour drive, but you can get between the two cities in three hours by using transit.

Show HN: GPT4 New Cache Component for App Developers
I would like to introduce GPTCache, a semantic cache designed to work seamlessly with GPT-4 and LangChain. GPT-4 has revolutionized the way developers build AI-powered applications, but it comes with challenges: higher costs (more than 10 times higher than the earlier version) and longer response times. GPTCache is our solution to these challenges, and we would like to share it with the community.

Key Features of GPTCache:

- Semantic Key Matching: Unlike traditional caches that rely on exact key matches, GPTCache uses semantic-based key matching to improve cache hit rates.

- Multi-Modal Support: GPTCache is designed to handle multi-modal queries and responses (currently under active development).

- Cost and Time Savings: Reduce GPT-4 costs, and response times from seconds to milliseconds with cache hits.

- Knowledge Retrieval: Retrieve related knowledge from historical GPT-4 responses. So that you can regenerate new responses using a more affordable LLM service.

GPTCache is in its early stages, and we're actively seeking feedback from the community to make it better.

GitHub Repository: https://github.com/zilliztech/GPTCache

So, you’re saying that Coinbase knowingly offered unregistered security. And acknowledged that’s not legal. The fact the SEC refuses these securities to be registered doesn’t negate the illegal offering of unregistered securities.
If in your example you hired the construction workers as employees and, for what ever reason, kept them on the payroll, wouldn't you still be able to deduct the salaries you pay them each year ?

If not it seems like a colassal disincentive to employment, which is the opposite of the result usually sought by government policies.

A sample of the "woke" people that are attacking him:

> And oh, your wife? I lookrd her up Scott and… She’s maybe a 3 on a good day. You know, maybe a 6 at a MAGA rally where all the other chicks are fat midwestern racists. She’s got that TERF Karen look Scott. Let’s be real, you wish you could have bagged one of those hot blondes instead but that’s what you ended up with. I really doubt that’s satusfying enough to keep you from lusting after your younger hotter students. God you’re such a fucking sexist creep.

Sounds like an obvious troll to me (and to some of his other commenters). But he replies in full earnestness to him. Probably a mistake, but I'd still put the blame on the troll rather than the victim.

Cryptocurrencies are a currency that people are using as an investment.

I can't pay for my Starbucks in the USA using Euros, but that doesn't make the Euro not a currency.

IMO, anybody trying to call a cryptocurrency a security is arguing in bad faith. A security has to represent something of value. A stock gives you a tiny fraction of ownership of a company. Cryptocurrencies give you nothing. They have no underlying value.

I just don’t know if there’s a path for a junior level person in a shrinking VC world. If you actually built and sold businesses yourself as an entrepreneur, and have real connections, then definitely you have a future but likely you wouldn’t be a junior associate.

VC became this weird white-shoe consulting / ibanking path which is bizarre to me because the entrepreneurial journey is so unique and difficult. Definitely one of those “you have to live this to understand” situations to me.

I know there is now a generation of well-heeled Stanford and MIT alums who grew up with money and lean on their parents’ SV connections just like at banks and law firms with the Ivy League. If you aren’t those people I would think about a new career. I can spot a grizzled VC pretty quickly compared to the soft ones that were a PM at Stripe for a couple years or whatever they say their journey to VC was.
True but not very useful. That's like writing an "isPrime" function with a switch statement for every possible input number, rather than coming up with a general algorithm. It can't give you any answer you don't already know.
