The most important skill in a rapidly changing world is the ability to learn new skills - and skills build on other skills. If you don't understand the fundamentals of some area of technology, ChatGPT isn't going to be of much use in helping you build anything that looks at all professional. On the other hand, refusing to learn how to write effective LLM prompts makes little sense.

Another important reality is that if you buy into what's being advertised as good for you, you may be setting yourself up for a long-term dependency, which if taken away, will leave you with less than nothing (rather like drug or alcohol addiction.)

For example, how many people, if transported to a pre-industrial society, could play any meaningful role in recreating modern industrial civilization? How would those conversations go?

"We had these wonderful things, the Internet and devices to communicate across long distances and we had fine textiles woven by machines controlled by computers and airplanes and..."

"Oh, and how do you make such things?"

"Ummmm.... well, first we're going to need some silicon ore..."

Skills are only valuable in the context of economic activity in a society if other people see them as valuable. As far as ChatGPT, anyone becoming absolutely dependent on LLM models to do their job may find themselves in a world of hurt if those models suddenly become unavailable for some reason.
Let's not forget natural gas is the main source of methane used to make synthetic fertilizers. Since Russian natural gas isn't flowing the way it used to, I can imagine that would increase the price of food.
> For the next two years nothing is worthless.

More like many things will become obsolete, but becoming worthless is a longer slower process as existing methods are phased out.
You're missing that in as recently as 2019 LLM's could barely form a coherent sentence.
>This seems like a wild misrepresentation of what being a writer is. Writers communicate ideas.

That's kind of irrelevant. People paying others for writing gigs just care about words on a page, covering a certain topic. Doesn't have to be artistic or to contain novel ideas.

So, regardless if some writers make it, hundreds of thousands of people currently making a living writing copy can (and will be/are) replaced by AI text. If it gets a little better at creatively rewriting news agency feeds, many journalists will too (that's like what a huge number of journalists do, and not original reporting).

At best they will be reduced, for less and more precarious pay, to glorified prompt writers and checkers.

>If you’re really a writer

Yes, and real true Scotsmen will be fine too. The rest, less real Scotsmen, not so much.
Russia is a major oil exporter ~10 million barrels per day, and they are impacted by the war.
The supply is obvious, but the wise/stupid judgement is still up for debate.

Didn't Poland decide they didn't actually need Ukraine's grain and it's just sitting in ports rotting? https://www.cnn.com/2023/04/16/europe/poland-bans-grain-ukra...

Doesn't seem like there is much demand for Ukraine grain.
Yes, but 75% of humanity can't make a living wage writing or making art. So really at this point you are replacing an intern or a fiverr contractor.
Can you give a good example that illustrates your point?
Many blogs already do this, and I've even seen it on youtube. Not sure if you call bloggers and youtubers 'journalists', though?
> In social media research, we focus on “how much social media did a person consume?” and we plan our experiments accordingly...Most don’t even distinguish between platforms, as if Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, and TikTok are just different kinds of liquor.

This is the problem I have with studies of "social media". It's like saying "the internet" causes problem, or "computers". These are overly broad categories and I refuse to believe someone interacting with tight-knit hobby groups on Facebook for 4 hours per day is suffering the same consequences as someone doom-scrolling photos of models on Instagram for 4 hours per day.
It seems to be a paid version of https://github.com/mayooear/gpt4-pdf-chatbot-langchain

It uses langchain and pinecone to create a semantic index over the PDF content and search it based on question asked to sends the relevant information to openAI GPT api using embeddings.
What type of antennas did you use? Asking for a friend...
I think these examples reinforce my point: both the Troubles and the Cold War felt (and ultimately were) resolvable, while climate change (in the popular conception) feels fundamentally unresolvable. The former were also fundamentally social concerns, with avenues for social activism; the latter contains social concerns but is fundamentally a global coordination problem that’s roughly equivalent to achieving world peace (given that it requires nations to compromise any individual interests or ambitions in favor of the global good). Most people don’t think world peace is achievable, so it’s understandable why that sentiment would carry forwards to global warming.
In principle, yes. But if I am testing for open ports, does encryption really matter?
>>Whoever came up with "companies donating millions to politicians is free speech so nothing can be done to limit that" is either a massive idiot or extremely biased towards big money influencing elections.

So Elon Musk wants to spend millions on politics it is OK, but if I and 10,000 of my friends want to form a corporation to spend millions it is idiotic??

And if you want to Limit Elon how do you get around the 1st amendment ?

Windows NT 4 was also better than 95 and 98. It ran everything but was NT based like 2000 and XP so very stable.
I think the more people are coddled the more that fairly tame environments look like lions.

When the expected university environment is considered too hostile (considered to be too lion -like) you get safe spaces (more coddling)
> yet nknown amounts because they are intermittent

The intermittency is sufficiently predictable that we know the overbuild requirement well enough for a variety of possible solutions, including cheapest overall, or least storage requirements. I tend to go for x10 in armchair discussions like these because that's the level needed given the current global average power factor of PV.

> Are they getting cheaper enough? Including all the required overbuilding and all the (yet non-existent) grid-scale storage that is required for renewable energy?

Yes.

> grid storage required at these scales is literally nowhere to be found

The fact I can say the same for the uranium mines needed for sufficient nuclear power, isn't an argument against nuclear power.

Why?

Because we don't have a current need for those mines.

Why is this a useful comparison?

Because until we decide we want to electrify transport (it's mainly about that not about PV vs. Wind vs. Hydro), there hasn't been demand for that many battery factories.

But in both cases, we know what to do, and how to do it.
"Enjoyable" ?

The article makes an impression that "gezellig" is somewhat close to French "savoir-vivre", "la vie est belle", Italian "dolce vita", and maybe even Latin "carpe diem"?

It looks like multiple cultures have similar appreciation to spending one's time well, but also focus on different aspects of what "well" means.

Not just Arm but Arm's current partners will also be able to take full advantage of Intel's open system foundry model, which includes packaging, software, and chiplets as part of the agreement.

The Russians residing in Russia who visit this website and express they use a VPN to access blocked content are likely to disagree with Putin and his cronies. Chances are they know what's up.

I think the public-facing story of Netflix's start in 1997 (that DVDs came out in 1997 and they looked like they would be easy/cheap to ship).

But, the the first version of realvideo was released in early 1997. I remember using it to watch pirated streaming video of Star Wars special edition and South Park season 1 (I just checked and those were both in 1997). It was acceptable quality (slightly worse than VHS or video CD) if you had a cable modem.

Are they? I vaguely recollect freight trains' weight being in the vicinity of 6-8 thousand tons, not in the twenty thousands. How long would such a train be, 200 boxcars or something? Seems a bit unwieldy.
True, but radians or degrees are general more abstract.

"0.24 degrees per hour" (assuming 12 work hours per day) just doesn't really ring to me... and I have a mechanical engineering degree.
Agree, I think you need to self-host your analytics to be compliant. The main idea of GDPR is to NOT send data to third-parties.
"Climate change" is probably the long tail of everything you could add to the list. The flooding in Pakistan in 2022 for example. Remember that one? It destroyed crops and then there's the draining and fixing the land afterwards, infrastructure damage making planting for the next season more difficult, and so on. Pakistan was the 3rd global exporter of rice after India and Thailand in 2021.
It is technically equivalent because if you buy shares you increase the value of an elastic commodity that directly benefits the company when they issue more shares (or offer for sale shares which have been authorized but unissued.)

Their exports are humming along just fine as they've made new agreements with China and other countries to get out of the petro-dollar hegemony. It's been over a year and the sanctions against Russian oil exports appear to have done nothing.

> "Skier's left/right" for snow skiing. Ambiguity arises when looking uphill or downhill.

But what about “snowboarder’s left”… sounds a lot like “starboard’s left” at which everybody on the fake ski slope on the cruise ship gets incredibly confused? We have to drive out all ambiguity here, or people are doing to die.
A good example of this is are mobile applications used in logistics for tracking movements within a terminal. Often the wifi environment is terrible and the operators will spend significant time not connected. They often have fat clients with local storage, and when the reconnect the sync bidirectionally - they upload whatever they have done since last connection, and they download changes others have made that may affect them in the meantime.

The bottom billion are mostly self-sufficient farmers or hunter-gatherers. Money is only relevant in an interconnected modern economy. A small tribe of hunter-gatherers or a small farming village has a GDP of 0, but they have the basics covered.
To that point: there is a lot of boring, eye-rolling -- but totally essential -- things like requirements management that are important for engineering. "move fast and break things" makes sense when you're small and agile, but when you have a massive platform that many other individuals and business depend on you just can't do that.

Sometimes I need a wizard with multi-domain knowledge to whip up a POC system, but most of the time I need someone to ensure all of the pieces work, have specs that meet reqs, and won't cause an outage when we deploy them.
So food will cost more. But nobody remembers the rice shortage of 20 years ago; and this one will also be largely irrelevant, in the big scheme of things.
> What if the time emerged from the depths of the scene already assembled, only to crumble to dust as its moment passes?

I feel as if there could be some profound metaphor there...
Reminds me of a recent story in New York in which a Broadway theater was raised 30 feet. The owner of the building wanted to put commercial space on the ground floor, but the theater itself was on the ground floor and protected. So the solution was to raise the theater above the ground floor. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/05/28/business/palace-theater-t...
A pain in what sense? I self-host my own stuff and had fewer issues than with services. I also know many people self-hosting their own platforms, and they rarely encounter problems. Stuff usually doesn't break by itself, it breaks when things are changed.
In my opinion, those 90% of skills were always worth $0, yet we need them to enable the 10% of skills that are worth 1000x. In fact even with AI, you still need the $0 skills to ensure that whatever model you are using is giving you the answer you need. There is a deep connection between our different skills that enable us to create value. Bundling them into separate bins based on how much value they provide individually feels like the wrong approach.
> We in the West are in the grip of an ideology that disowns our genius, denounces our success, disdains merit, elevates victimhood, embraces societal self-loathing and enforces it all in a web of exclusionary and authoritarian rules, large and small.

> I just set up a test server with a J1900 (10W TDP.) With 8GB RAM and running from an SSD it uses 25W.

Did you use a regular desktop power supply? PC power supplies can consume 10-15W or more at idle. To build a low power system you need to find a good low power, high efficiency power supply.

Ask HN: Is there any embeddable REPL? Like RunKit, but for many languages
RunKit is great, and we have been using it on our api doc [1].

However, RunKit was acquired by Stripe and development seems to stop. For example, it’s slow to update to support new package versions [2] and it only supports nodejs, not other server side languages

Ideally, we want something like RunKit, but with active development / improvement and multi-language support.

Transformers and Diffusion Models seem to be leading the pack lately in many tasks. It’s cool how these models can be used in a variety of quite different contexts without changing much about the network architecture.

That being said, I think it is only a matter of time before cyber criminals develop an end to end fully automated penetration system that registers domain names, writes emails, makes phone calls, finds money mules, runs social media accounts, etc. all with a single console to run it all. That is a scary prospect for humanity and new tools for authenticating human identity will be needed - fast.
Russia is a major producer of oil and gas, which has been extremely sanctioned. Oil and gas that used to come from Russia need to come from somewhere else, raising demand (and thus, prices) for other producers.
Your argument defeats itself. If your AI is so good, that its productive output is bottlenecked by the speed of your supposed operators than you should just replace those with another instance of your ai, as well as the boss.

Which is exactly the same scenario that your parent comment is presenting.

Nope, do it the other way around. No political campaign can receive more than X money in donations / more than Y money of it's own funds, adjusted for inflation yearly, with highly public transparency lists on who donated to what campaign when.
I would guess it's the length of the outermost arc, sort of makes sense with the relation to employees inside not noticing it.
I love PowerShell. I've built CLI apps, desktop GUI apps, web apps, and integrations using it. Now that I can use it on Mac, Windows and Linux it's even more valuable to me. It isn't without a few shortcomings, but I've tried picking up other languages and keep returning to what makes me productive and happy: PowerShell. I've read the criticisms, and experienced some of them firsthand, but considering all that I've been able to do with PowerShell the good far outweighs the bad.
I just wish I could open the new win 10/11 settings app without having explorer.exe running in the background.
>I don't understand the vitriol HN has for professional writers and anyone who might work in gasp marketing.

Let's say we'd be better off without anyone working in, gasp, marketing. Companies might sell less, but society would be much better of.
I remember this comment and I think it makes a lot of sense that this is what companies do when they become huge and have excess cash on hand. Apple has a ton of cash and so something like this makes a lot of sense. They can absorb any short-term risk that it may introduce and likely it is structured in such a way that Goldman takes the majority of the risk anyway.
FWIW, 20,000 km with existing HVDC cables is 60% losses, and PV is so cheap that's not even a bad choice.

Life expectancy in US has more to do with very bad lifestyles of Americans, mostly obesity and drug abuse, than with quality of healthcare, which in fact is superior.

Ummm, bad title. There is nothing here that suggests evolution of any sort.

TLDR; spider glue can be produced to work in different humidities by altering the ratio of proteins in it. No evolutionary mechanism is discussed at all.
The market is wide and diverse.

People who have money will always pay a premium for quality.

With regards to writing, if you can create quality information with AI faster than before, you will be more profitable.

If you are going wide, and throwing spaghetti at the wall with crappy writing, you may also be able to generate $1 from a million people vs. $10,000 from 100 people.

AI threatens the middle for sure, and will force all of us to change our strategies.

This is an example of the kind of thinking Rodney Brooks has written about when he explained why people get predictions so wrong. People who weren't paying attention to autonomous cars, saw the improvement in the two DARPA challenges and thought it was around the corner. Most had no idea that people how long people had been working on the problem.

Perceptrons was written in the 1960s. Back propagating neural nets are from what, the early 1980's? It took a little time to get here, it may take some time to get to the next step.
What makes it even funnier is it even means horny in German. The young kids just turned it into meaning "cool". So now you have 40+ year olds saying how horny a presenation is in a corporate board room.
This is correct but you can do tricks to change who the counterparty is, which is often useful. If, instead of putting up a yard sign and saying "this house is for sale" and waiting for someone to come by and complete the transaction, the homeowners entered a contract with a brokerage to sell the house to anyone who is willing to abide by a list of terms (minimum price, occupancy date, etc.), then the brokerage can respond immediately and say "great, the house is yours". This is essentially the equivalent of sending a sell order to a stock broker.
No Russia made new agreements with China, India, etc. and their oil and gas is being "laundered" through sales to those countries and back out to the west. The sanctions have failed to do anything.
