Something this article (nor the related NY Times article you also posted) doesn't mention: The effects of increasingly customer-hostile and exploitative policies from corporations employing these service workers. As this article opens, "I was trying to cancel this contract we’d been roped into" it's onto the right path. Some company policy-makers decided that exploiting their customers was a good way to increase profits, and left the powerless front-line service worker to simply be the firewall to stop the consequences of the decision from flowing back to the decision-makers.

People are rightfully angry at how they are being squeezed, and with no way to materially affect the decisions that torment them, they are fed up. In the theoretical magic free markets, the customers would take their business elsewhere when they get no satisfaction, but when the choice is between Comcast Xfinity and CenturyLink, for example, customers know that there's no real choice.
Or we can build a goddamn flame trench like they should have done in the first place.
Maybe chose a different example. Houston has a real economy. It is the global hub for petroleum engineering. This is a global industry that is highly competitive and it has been for quite a while. And yet Houston is consistently able to attract top tier talent and thrive. Personally I’m not a fan of Houston but I think it has a much more impressive economy than New York.
I don't agree that a human obviously experiences less learning stimulus than an LLM. For one thing, the human has direct and mutating access to the physical world through many senses. The LLM gets to experience written words, and if it's lucky, images.
They can fail dangerously because the deformation can cause the busbars to become dislodged. Definitely not just a capacity thing.

I'm a mid-level engineer working from Kentucky - trying to learn and grow remotely because after living in SF and other large west coast cities, I don't see how anyone builds much of a life there before they're 35 anyway.

I also fear remote is here to stay, with all of the wage changes that will create for skilled American labor (it'll do lots of good too, don't get me wrong!)

EDIT:
>I don't see how anyone builds much of a life there before they're 35 anyway.

By this I suppose I meant that I don't see how I could build much of a life out there before I'm 35. I know a few people who pulled it off, but I'm under the impression it is an outlier outcome in a city of outliers.
Airplane seems to be a more general purpose product for building internal tools, whereas Evidence is really focused on reporting and analysis workflows. At a quick glance, there are 4 things that come to mind for Evidence:
1. Text support, including support for putting values from your data into sentences (narrative-driven reporting)
2. More analytics data sources supported (like DuckDB, SQLite, and CSVs)
3. I would imagine that our charting library has a wider selection, with options for more complex visuals - we spend a lot of time and effort here!
4. Evidence produces a static site, so pages and data are pre-built and users don't need to wait for queries to run when they're using the site

Airplane looks to have some great form-building and interactive app features, so I think it just depends on the problems you're trying to solve

Price of gasoline in California has a lot of factors… like because of mountains, there are no pipelines from Texas. CA uses Middle East oil. Also, due to the way the wind and mountains block in the air, the smog is worse than areas where the wind blows it out to sea (indeed, the opposite can happen when china’s smog blows in). The clean air act has the fed gov force California to lower smog, which is does by changing the gasoline formation during the summer, which is more expensive. Plus taxes! But it is far more complicated than “CA is high tax”.

OK, how much are they? Honest question, I want (and afraid) to be enlightened.
Why are you contributing to a 401K but have significant debt payments? See Dave Ramesy for a start, then Bogleheads as you climb out of debt and start to save and invest. Best of luck.
I didn't save any lives, I had covid 6 months earlier than I had vaccination.

Disagree. Saving X% of one's early career salary goes a lot further when the salary goes up near a city.
Could you have a separate monthly subscription on the customer that handles overages? For example, all yearly customers would have 2 subscriptions: the base yearly subscription for up to N users, but also a monthly subscription for overages > N (so an invoice will only be sent if overages > 0).

Doing it this way, Stripe should handle the bulk of the logic; yearly and monthly subscriptions would be more or less the same from your end.
Can you send me the dump so I can host it somewhere?
>I doubt, for example, that the new-IRA would get a united Ireland by destroying orbital infrastructure.

The most effective way for the new-IRA to unite Ireland would be to help the UK keep shooting itself in the foot, so that the Northern Ireland citizens get sick of regular Ireland being better off economically, and vote to join it.
Yeah but I've said before, if Google had GPT 4, we wouldn't have public access. The reality is Google has filled itself to the brim with experts on their domains, rather than experts on their domains as they fit into a larger picture.

It's cool to be a 10x engineer, but if you're turning basic tasks in 100x efforts in the pursuit of engineering rigor, you're going to get your lunch ate by 1x engineers using unsexy unscalable tech.

The source article is a much better read: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2023-04-19/google-ba...

Based on its contents I was not convinced that Bard is actually so terrible vs Google's internal testers simply upholding a bar that's not realistic for the current crop of LLMs, especially when you read things like:

> In some, like child safety, engineers still need to clear the 100% threshold.

How do you child proof an LLM? Why wouldn't you instead just release it and say supervise your child's use the same way you would for 99% of the internet?
The lookup table says I should tell you that quantum mechanics applies to subatomic particles, not very large objects like neurons.

Oh, one other thing. I think if you are young you should definitely live in an expensive locale. After 30 years you can stay and be done. Or sell and move. You will be able to afford the entire country. If you stay in Ohio for 30 years, you will never be able to move to NYC or Los Angeles. You are forced to 2nd tier or 3rd tier cities.
Um . . . it's not.

It's just hard to understand what all those allistic people mean. Why do they say false things all the time and why is that socially normal? How is falsehood the acceptable norm but not truth?

Things like this article try to construct frameworks for the falsehoods.

Hi. I'm Robert Graham. I'm not "rsnake", that is Robert Hansen.

I'm libertarian, not conservative leaning. I loathe and despise Trump. As a centrist, both polarized sides see me aligned with the opposing side.

The ~20 cyberexperts in attendance were invited due to their support of Republican causes. The two independnets were myself, invited through Lead Stories (a fact-checking firm) and Harri Hursti, invited through CNN. Lindell was so certain of himself that he invited his fact-checking adversaries CNN and LeadStories to come see for themselves. I'm a well known "pcaps" expert and a well-known centrist that doesn't have an ax to grind either way, so LeadStories sent me as their representatives. You'll find me debunking/confirming other fact stuff, like the AlphaBank-TrumpTower theory, or the Hunter-Laptop theory.

Lindell didn't give us pcaps. I think he honestly believed he had them. It's just that he's non-technical, and has no ability to judge whether somebody is technical enough to judge whether he has pcaps. He's also not very good at listening. It appears he surrounded himself with technical-looking people (like Phil Waldron) that assure him he had pcaps.

Lindell's claims are incredibly implausible. Election machines aren't on the Internet in the numbers Lindell claimed. But pcaps could answer questions. For example, the TTLs would show whether they were captured near the victim, near the attacker, or someplace in between (like an undersea cable). It's unbelievable they would show election hacking, but I was burning with curiosity about what they DID show.

Imo, intelligence is not about words at all. A words processor, such as LLM, is just a gate thru which AIs will communicate. Intelligence works more like this: you throw a pile of semi-organized data at it, results of experiments or observations, and it finds a pattern behind yhe data. How it communicates with us, via LLMs or by other means, is a secondary question. Speculating further, I think that finding that pattern doesn't necessarily look like computation. It may look like this: our mind projects datapoints into a higher dimensional space, where symmetries are more apparent, and finds the simplest configuration that approximates the datapoints. The approximation happens automatically by a physical process based on quantum effects.
Most prions are characterised biochemically by their protease resistance. Proteases will not work sufficiently.
I don't think drugs are good or bad. The intent behind why and how people use them is what counts. However, if people want these things to see progress in acceptance and safe use, hearing anecdata from all demographics is important, including those with negative experiences.

One thing that people didn't want to talk about with the cannabis legalization boom was how common paranoid schizophrenia is. My step-father has marijuana-induced paranoid schizophrenia, I have a few other friends also diagnosed with the same thing. For all the good that it has done for x demographics, it has damaged y demographics irreparably. A future of powerful and debilitating prescription drugs to treat their schizophrenia is what they have to look forward to now, they are objectively worse off for it and classified as legally disabled.

Hi. I was at the Cybersymposium. The cExtractor tool was provided to us during the Cybersymposium, not after. A lot more files were provided than this person claims to have received.

I don't understand the panel's reasoning either. Nobody knows all that these .bin files contain. There's no evidence they are from the 2020 election, but no evidence they aren't. I didn't enter the contest because I thought the rule were rigged, that nobody could prove what these files don't contain.

They look like either randomly generated or encrypted data, within which ever couple megabytes a line of text has been inserted. The line of text is ROT3, which may be what Dr. Frank refers to as a "test" to see if people know what they are doing.

Yes and no. Let's say everyone drives compact cars, then my risk level -- completely made up number -- is 20. However, if everyone's driving para-tanks while I keep driving my compact car, then my risk level rises to 60, due to aforementioned physics. Now, if I join everyone, then my risk level falls to 40, so I'm safer. But compare to the initial case, I'm still less safe. Hence the prisoner's dilemma.

> You would need to make it so that there's a setting in an account so an API key is useless to publish without a signed commit.

That’s the “easy” part. The hard part is determining what constitutes a valid PGP identity, as well as inheriting all of the baggage that comes with PGP (including things that nobody wants to deal with, like revocation).

And again: this would be explicitly forcing users into a known bad signing mechanism, one that only applies to git. Trusted publishing as-implemented does not have these problems.
Ask HN: What would you use to track and update a small companies KPIs?
I'm looking to track some company KPIs, we've been using excel which has all the drawbacks you'd expect.

It was a program written by Dennis Montgomery in dot-net/C++ provided to Mike Lindell along with the .bin files that Montgomery claims to contain pcaps.

It simply scans files looking for strings, and outputs those strings.

Montgomery's code is incomprehesible and weird, so I wrote my own extract program in C.

Ok, without resorting to insulting you as you are me, according to you, is the 10th Amendment a loophole or not?

More generally, are people doing things because they aren't stopped from doing so a loophole or not?

Are loopholes a feature or a bug? Does it depend on intentions or how it's used to be called this, or not?

More importantly, why don't judges tend to rule in the "spirit of the law" over what's actually the law, if that's so obviously the thing that should matter the most?
Are you willing to sign contracts with me on that basis? And see which philosophy wins?
Or do you just want to complain and show your disapproval of me?

There's how things are and how they "should" be and simply describing it in terms of a constellation of competing actors and overlapping interests at different layers and forces that motivate them (not always easy to tell, and I've already left open and taken into account the whole spectrum of characterizations: intentional v not, malicious v not, passive v active. I have my own not-strongly held opinion on the car one while acknowledging all of that) means I'm not reasoning (unlike you). Got it.

I think there’s an opportunity to integrate LLMs so that non technical users can build on top of it using natural language.
I use the latest versions with native compilation and gave up on terminals and curses codes in favor of plain M-x shells. I tend to accumulate hundreds of buffers, some of them GB size, and all is super snappy. I am very sensitive to latency and can’t stand slow pings, avoid wireless for that reason, and have tuned my keyboards over the years to reduce input latency and errors. Emacs out of the box is super fast. The plain text input loop is in microseconds so not perceptible. And there is hardly ever a need for terminal emulators but when there absolutely is (say htop) then you can use vterm.
