> Myers-Briggs is just a toolkit

Myers-Briggs is just unsubstantiated nonsense made to sell scam products and services to the gullible, that has been marketed so effectively that people believe that it is meaningful because they’ve heard the name so much. (In the way repetition detached from origin have driven its popular perception, it’s like “Stockholm Syndrome” that way, or the popular misportrayal of the Dunning-Kruger effect, though neither of those are ongoing commercial scams.)

(A couple of its axes have weak correlations with axes of empirically-grounded personality models, by sheer luck, and so it can have some weak utility that way, but even there you could use a valid tool based on an empirically-grounded model for better results.)
Much agreed.

It would take a bit more class within Microsoft these days to realize that and maybe they just aren’t ready to take the step in the right direction yet.
> Portland residents have the dubious honor of joining the ranks of US citizens subjected to chemical and biological weapons by their own government.

During one of the BLM protests in downtown Phoenix they used tear-gas on the protesters because they decided to try to stop traffic on the I-10 and the police said “nope”.

I was watching the whole thing from a live camera on one of the newscopters and as soon as they started popping CS grenades I had to go check it out.

Hadn’t smelled CS since I gotten out of the military and never thought I’d see people getting gassed down the end of my street.

In all honesty the police were pretty chill until they decided to try to shut down a major US interstate then they drew a line and held it. The police helicopter was telling people to disperse for quite a while (which is how I found out about it because I heard the commotion) before they started gassing people.

I do know that the amount of CS the police deployed was nothing compared to what the army would hit us with every so often.
Pretty sure this is not a new thing (e.g., https://www.pcgamer.com/war-thunder-fan-says-tank-is-inaccur...)

This defies the first law of free trade.

And also destroys your ability to pose realistic hypotheticals. Just like mathematics solved Zeno’s paradox, CS has solved the trolley problem. But it makes you seem smart to continue to pose unrealistic hypotheticals because you can avoid listening to people challenging your premise.

Now people will say that the answer to the trolley problem - AI avoids the trolley problem in the first place + you can minimize the total kinetic energy in the system when you simulate forcing into it - is a cheat because humans can’t do it and it doesn’t address the underlying moral question.

Who cares? We know that the trolley problem doesn’t actually appear in reality in the clean way it’s presented anyway. So if the philosopher is cheating with an unrealistic scenario that would never happen, it’s fair for the student to find a solution by cheating in response (ie Kobayashi Maru).

I bought the house across the street from my best friend a few years ago. It's been an excellent decision. We actively recruit our other friends to do the same, but no one else has jumped on it yet.

Nice project. I have to admit though, this must be the last last resort after all last resorts. Using a phone input for real work is going to be frustrating, especially for keyboard.

I think I would rather use the phone camera faced on a paper printout of a keyboard, viewing my finger movements and inputting that instead.
If all universities did that, the few ones that actually make sense in their traditional form would collapse overnight. These are still important institutions.

I do understand that this wild-sounding idea would have a place under a different system for higher education and not just community colleges.

I know a quantum physicist, a pretty renowned one, who has an even wilder-sounding idea, which is to eliminate exams.

These ideas sound so wild, and perhaps practically are wild in the current context, because they don't express or account for the full mental model that the proponent likely has in mind.
> (including Google itself!)

Bet Google won’t make that mistake again, i.e. it won’t publish as much and will be much more careful about what it publishes, least they give a competitor a useful tool and get nothing in return - when the competitor (in this case very ironically named) goes full commercial and close source everything they can.

Open collaboration in AI, at least when it comes to corporations, might have come to an end.
Would encourage still prioritizing 1:1 time with close friends. Even if that means traveling. It's a different experience, though I agree introducing friends to other friends is usually a pleasure.

Yes, yes you are uncool. You are probably a nerd who likes to talk about topics of interest, rather than people and social matters.

Nerds are much more interesting, really. They’ve spent enough time on things they are obsessed about to have something to discuss. It’s not all “kids, schooling, housing, weather”. My favourite thing is to meet a nerd with an obsession outside of my own, as there is so much to learn.

Well, maybe not right now. Last summer France had 32 of their 56 reactors shut down for unplanned maintenance due to safety concerns. And also do to a lack of cooling water do to the drought. In 2022 France was a net importer of electricity.

It's not like France would have excessive 'base load' nuclear generation in the first place. The base load power plants are not designed to respond to demands or serve as reserved capacity.

> "I'm going to start something which I call TruthGPT, or a maximum truth-seeking AI that tries to understand the nature of the universe," Musk told Carlson. "And I think this might be the best path to safety in the sense that an AI that cares about understanding the universe is unlikely to annihilate humans because we are an interesting part of the universe."

Comparing to a house is not insightful unless compared to the function of that 1 kWh. On the grid, 1kWh of battery will shift multiple MWh of energy in its lifetime. The energy for production is on the order of 1% of its utility over time.

If, say, fracking for natural gas produced so much utility for so little energy input, we would have to worry a lot more about natural gas competing with batteries. The primary metric to focus on for batteries should be total cost, which is what will give batteries an even bigger edge over natural gas peakers. Reducing the energy input for 1kWh of capacity from 60 kWh to, say, 6 kWh will have minimal benefit for speeding the transition tk a carbon free energy system. With solar costs as $0.02/kWh, that 60kWh is only $1.20 of a battery pack that costs multiple hundred dollars.
So this is a longwinded way of saying the author doesn't like that they put news in the start menu?
Not really. When I was a kid in the mid 2000s I remember the family computer was hella slow. The menus did not pop up instantly. You probably used it on a top of the line machine. For a lot of us, windows 2000 and xp was sluggish and slow. Our pc used to have 512mb of ram iirc.
It's interesting to compare this to the flexibility provided by functional package manager based OS's; in Nix too can rebase your system, perhaps even more literally.
There's been a long observed tradition that every other version of Windows is trash. 3.1, 98, XP, 7, 10 were good^, 95, ME, Vista, 8 and now 11 are trash. This one is a bit of a fun one because the bits described here are almost sabotage level bad. You can deactivate that pretty easily so it's not a big deal; there's some other clunky ui interface notably in settings where you can still find 4 or 5 different generations of Windows ui. The two things that I reaaaally dont like is the right click menu that's now hidden behind a "more options" first ui someone figured was a good idea, the poorer performance where the antimalware or other bloatware sometimes decides to grab your CPU for itself, the lack of reliability - notably of the wsl, and most of all the sleep management.

What burns me is that my laptop used to wake up instantaneously in 10 when I opened the screen, even after a couple days of stowage. That was even one of the sales arguments, I think it was called "instant on" or something like that. Now if I wait more than 5 minutes it goes into Deep sleep. If I setup the sleep to longer than that the battery drains. I can't rollback to 10.

Even with 250gb free disk, I wanted to dual boot a Linux distro, can't resize the partition because "reasons", that's the first time I'm stuck on that.

So yeah, waiting for 12.

It technically probably is, but MS would still rather you pirate Windows than use Linux.
Windows 11 has made me hate my computer. I have a top end surface book pro and it lags every day. Things like opening the calculator or file explorer are a test of patience and my patience has been tested daily. I loathe windows 11 and regret the day I installed it.
Google's offers to Android OEMs often mix search revenue, app store revenue, and ad revenue... a tying nightmare. Google is now under significantly increased scrutiny for how they manage these deals, they've gotten in trouble for destroying evidence and will now have even more incriminating evidence for future arrangements... it's a great time to press Google for a better deal because their hands are tied.

I hate hanging out in groups and almost exclusively do 1:1. I have no problem talking to my friends for hours on end, it never feels like a chore and I always makes time. Your experience reads quite strangely to me. Even if there is nothing new to talk about, spending time with friends is rewarding in itself.
I'm getting heavy flashbacks to Active Desktop and iirc "Active Channels".
Does anyone remember those? Web feeds on/in your desktop. I believe it coincided with the release of IE 4 and their big web integration push.

You can’t say that with a straight face when the Finder on Mac has seen absolutely zero change since 2008. Windows Vista’s file controls blow every OS out of the water.

I’m an Apple user and honestly I don’t remember the last useful feature added other the Universal Clipboard. I asked ChatGPT for a rundown and I just see a list of “moved things around and refreshed the UI”
I don't think it's that unconventional. I'm a published critic of American-style automobile sprawl, and I've argued that 90% of what notionally passes for a metro area in Middle America should be reclassified as a rural area in the eyes of most reasonable people from elsewhere in the world.

Show HN: Stack-Chan Returns: A ChatGPT-Powered Companion Robot
I'm back with an update on Stack-chan, now powered by ChatGPT for human-like conversations!
Check out the demo video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lO3xe_12So and
GitHub repo: https://github.com/meganetaaan/stack-chan/tree/dev/v1.0/firm... for detailed instructions.

We're using VOSK for speech recognition and VOICEVOX for Japanese speech synthesis. You can easily swap out the speech synthesis engine if needed. The robot is open source, and we're working on a kit version for easier assembly.

We've integrated ChatGPT by feeding speech recognition results into it and providing Stack-chan's character settings. The codebase is implemented using the JavaScript platform "Moddable," and you can find the ChatGPT API integration here: https://github.com/meganetaaan/stack-chan/blob/dev/v1.0/firm....

Though ChatGPT is designed for question-and-answer dialogues, we're exploring ways to improve turn-taking for more natural conversations. We're excited about Stack-chan's new conversational abilities and welcome any interesting use case ideas you have!
Where do you live? I’ve always seen people rave about meetup but most of the time when I’ve downloaded it’s filled mostly with scammy crap (MLM groups and similar business schemes), “entrepreneurs” trying to “network” and hyper specific demographic groups (40+ singles hiking group or whatever)
I mean, ignoring our personal preferences, which of those two halves of the business sounds like it's sustaining the other? I see a bunch of (cool) tools in one column, some of which admittedly might encourage people to use Windows or other paid MS products, albeit less so than in the past; in the other I see a lot of solid recurring revenue streams.
I've been daily driving Linux since March 2020 however recently purchased a Valve Index and decided to pop Win 10 on a completely empty secondary M.2. The setup kept failing because it just could not handle the fact that the primary M.2 had a Linux boot loader on it. It just refused to install. My work around was to setup a QEMU VM inside Linux where I provided the VM with the secondary M.2 as the main install drive. With only one drive visible it completed the install fully. At which point I was able to restart and boot directly from the secondary M.2. Most people would recommend simply removing the Linux M.2 until the installation was complete. My workaround was something only a tech guy like me would even think to try.

These kinds of little things about Windows drive me up the wall. That and the fact that I had to immediately run a few debloat scripts to rip out a bunch of junk.

I type all this while I have Path of Exile running at 200 FPS on my Linux install.

Is anyone at Microsoft listening? I feel like in another 10 years there will be very little reason to ever install Windows. The dominos are falling and at this point there's very few reasons to have Windows at all. Off the top of my head all I can think of is Photoshop and VR.

When I was in high school Linux was unusable for desktop, MacOS was just for designers, and Windows was really the only option. In only 20 years the dynamic has shifted so drastically. I wonder what the next 20 years will bring.

My hypothesis is it's connected to the decline in religion, or, more specifically, the mandatory church on Sunday type of religion, no matter what flavor it took.

Thats an interesting take. I prefer 1:1 type of events, or maybe a small group. I just find it easier to hold a conversation that way. I don’t have too many friends, so the time factor is not an issue for me.
> And suburban (and frankly disturbingly high percentages of urban) America IME is a strange cross between in constant proximity of others, and constant suspicion of others

When I lived in San Jose I trusted my immediate neighbors but someone on the street was basically a neighborhood watchdog for unkept lawns and cars that were parked too long. The neighborhood was mostly rentals, so landlords were responsible for lawn maintenance but of course these watchdog folks like to take their frustrations out on other renters. Our neighborhood never got together, just immediate neighbors, and people that lived close enough would Uber.

In contrast, when I lived in one of the poorer areas of Fort Worth and now living in the more working class area of Portland my trust for my entire street is sky high. We have friends, people help out and look out for each other. We have block parties, if there's disputes people talk it out, etc

All three are walkable places, and I live most of my life inside 5 city blocks. I'm not sure what factors make a successful community on a given street, but there are certain people that can make the entire experience miserable through seemingly insignificant actions (to them).
Windows has always had this churn. Upgrading from NT4 > 2000 > XP > Vista, etc all required a time investment to figure out new features, group policies, creating an image (Autopilot removed this requirement), etc.

Win 11 changing the Settings CPL doesn’t change the overall body of work required.

Yet neither Edge nor Chrome seems to have gotten the amount of hate IE did, despite being a leading example of what's wrong with the "modern web". I still use it if I can (otherwise it's Firefox), because it's a very "quiet" and native-looking browser that's also quite configurable --- more so than any Chrome-clone. Certainly makes one wonder who is controlling the narrative.
The "I just want to see how you think" line was always BS. Like they can actually tell.

The people using these questions just want some magical button to push that supposedly will tell them whether you're "good" or not -- without them having to think about the objective merits of your abilities and experience or how it fits into the job description, or any of that fuzzy, messy stuff.
Suicidal. Was in the psych ward voluntarily for a few days recently. Got better, was discharged, but it’s getting worse again. Tried two different antidepressants without much success so far. Seeing a therapist for more than half a year, spent a ton of money on that. It only seems to get worse, increasingly certain that suicide is the only viable path.

Spent many years living in isolation. I thought that was what I wanted. I had so much social anxiety it was the only way to live I could imagine. But I’ve realized it was deeply unhealthy. I don’t really have any friends, although I am friendly with colleagues. Never had a romantic relationship. At this point, getting either seems insurmountable. Even just thinking about dating fills me with dread and suicidal thoughts.

I’ve heard all the advice: find a hobby, work on yourself, etc. Hearing that advice only makes my suicidal ideation more intense because I don’t see myself doing it.

I can’t live with who I am and I can’t be who I need to be to live. Seems like it’s only a matter of time before I jump in front of a train.

I don’t think they were saying that the 1:1 time itself was a chore, so much as the logistics behind them. I completely agree.

Another nice thing about group hangouts is that not everyone needs to be there so it makes scheduling a lot simpler.
GPT3 is more expensive and less capable than GPT3.5-turbo, but it can be custom tuned, whereas GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 cannot, so I am assuming that they are finetuning GPT3.
