Show HN: Automatic Data Scientist Using GPT4
Very basic prototype for an Automatic Data Scientist. Basically a thin wrapper around the GPT4 API, with a loop that executes python commands suggested my the model and forwarding the outputs/error messages back to GPT
And what if that model is totally wrong? Do we let the models continue to drift so we can keep the CEO happy? Should Scotty be cool with Kirk demanding he wash the sails?

Sometimes it's the graviton stabilizer. Sure, I can say "for technical reasons" to keep the CEO from getting the brain ouchies, but now no one has any idea of what's wrong and the CEO distrusts me because they think I'm making up vague excuses.
I feel bad for Chinese citizens. I can't stomach the idea of being prosecuted by my own government for speaking my own mind. Made worse that they coerce people's families.

I also worry that without freedom of speech a lot of academic research and urban infrastructure will suffer without people being able to freely criticize bad science and bad construction.
Spin Router for Rust: First Glance
To shrink your existing windows partition, first disable swap on the partition you want to shrink, otherwise windows may not shrink it enough for what you want. Turn it on again after you're done.
Except they don't, if you have to do all the repairs yourself, as GP pointed out.
"The Science is Settled"

I'd say its a mechanical sieving action but we don't understand the forces causing the movement at that scale. and that adds about nothing to the debate :)
Yes, that was something that, for some reason, helped compatibility - there's a launcher that's bundled with it.

My plan is to complete it, slowly, then go from the start again with the Revision mod.
That is a previous defunct prototype wildly superseded by the current implementation. I still have a soft spot for the syntax though
> It's possible to have housing with shared bathrooms and kitchens

This used to be very popular 100 years ago. You could rent a room in a “boarding house” with shared bath and kitchen. I don’t know why that model failed and no longer exists.
That would only recover the small portion of the lost social wealth which goes to the government via taxes.

The larger portion of social wealth lost is the income to current laborers which is lost to increasing automation.
>But coworking spaces are another possibility.

Co-working spaces I'm thinking of are still ultimately rented from commercial landlords. I'm not talking about the workers paying for the use of a temporary desk. It's the "brandname" of the co-working space that is still paying a lease to the landlord. Maybe I'm misunderstanding what example you had in mind.
It seems vastly harder to make friends in a city, to me. When I lived in the suburbs, it was really simple to make friends. In the city, I dont know anyone. I agree that its nice to live so close to friends, but it seems impossible to MAKE any in the city.
Mind-blowing: I had been writing incorrect, unreadable, idiosyncratic, complicated, and slow code this whole time, thinking that was the thing to do. But now I see my mistake and will cease forthwith. Thanks, Captain Obvious!
I see two faces of it. One is meeting local people as in building local community and fulfilling socialising bar for yourself. Another is collaborating on ideas long-term. Those are very different.

For me the most valuable part is the later. And interwebs do wonders in this space. Same conversions IRL may have been nicer, but there's no way I could have been part of them (or at least so many of them) otherwise. And if you're in a crowded cafe watching a famous person... It's not 1-on-1 conversation either, much closer to Reddit's AmA thread...

As for building local community... IMO Cafes are too restrictive. A decent community space wins all day any day.
Oh wow, what a mess. That whole area is a pedestrian (and car and bike and ...) nightmare. Yeah, there's a sidewalk, but it's like a square mile of car-centric asphalt wasteland. Even if you don't get Froggered on the frontage road sidewalk or Palmer at-grade crossings, you still have 1000 yards of distracted drivers to dodge in all those parking lots.

Oof.
I thought it would have been deprecated by now given the alternatives on the Oracle ecosystem, but nope, we can still use it.

> Only massive, worldwide action will save us.

Being apathetic at home isn't going to inspire others to do better. And there is no one silver bullet. The mess was made by many bad choices. It will take many better choices and laws to turn things around.
Still relevant, but this was published on 1 Mar 2023.
Absolutely. People will quickly realize that for coding, the natural language part of LLMs is a distraction. Copilot is much better for someone actually writing code, but unfortunately doesn't get as emphasized due to the narrative surrounding LLMs right now.
It's not compatible with Talon voice for voice to text. I was going to move to Wayland a year back, but I also had hand issues that meant I needed to use Talon.

Apparently per the Talon developer Wayland makes something like Talon very difficult or impossible to implement? Not sure of specifics.

This gave me the impression that Wayland isn't as friendly with regards to accessibility, but not sure if that's a fair takeway or not.
Anyone know about a show that was genre savvy about Dracula's? Like they explicitly called it out?
Definitely this. I grew up outside Baltimore and went on to live in Boulder CO, Orange County CA, moved back home and then to LA on a whim. Finished school in Nashville, TN and my wife and I are about to get out and move to Maine. Zero red tape whatsoever- the flexibility and ease of traversing and moving around the USA is definitely awesome and rarely discussed in terms of the benefits of living here. There’s something for pretty much everyone and the culture varies greatly from region to region, city to city.
But then we built the kraken called slack, teams.
Not hidden in the knitting in the sense of the specific stitches (which is also very cool: https://www.popsci.com/story/diy/secret-code-messages-knitti...) but it seems she needed the knitting needle to insert the one-time codes (on a piece of silk) into a shoelace. Amazing story.
In general, if you take your leadership lessons from a TV shows and movies whose primary purpose is to excite, you will end up with high drama.

Make sure to watch the video too, taken by an all-sky camera run by the University of Alaska. The video shows the spiral as it starts forming at ~1:30. The spiral expands to cover much of the sky, and then dissipates -- all in just a few seconds.
Did this 20 years ago by having the name of the server as part of the user's profile.

User's 1 through 50 (light users) log in and their profile says they go to app-1.myapp.com.
User's 51 through 60 (heavy users) log in and their profile says they go to app-2.myapp.com.

A specific user may pay extra to have a non-shared environment, and this supports that as well.
> but without the density to support usable public transportation (once-an-hour buses don't count), it's really not a city

Transportation is for rural areas. If there is support for transporting people around beyond the capacity of their legs, I'm not sure that is really a city either. The hallmark of a city is the density for having everything you need to live out life right there, never, ever, needing to step into some kind of vehicle. Density but scattering life around over tens of miles or more, requiring travel to live out life, is just rural with nearby neighbours.
If you just need to send a set of emails once a week, the lowly cron job is fine. You don't need celerybeat.

> The Intrepid takes on five new ensigns including Andrew Dahl, an expert in alien religions and xenobiology. Dahl quickly discerns that the crew is extremely phobic of being near the senior officers and of going on away missions due to their high fatality rate. Over the course of several missions, various crew members suggest that the deaths are due to incompetence, superstition, or cosmic forces, requiring "sacrifices" of some crew members so that others will survive.

> After several close calls, Dahl meets Jenkins, a crew member who offers a different theory: their reality and timeline are under periodic influence of a badly written television show from the past. As the writers create the plot, characters' free will temporarily ceases in order to progress "the Narrative" of the show. This is why otherwise good officers are occasionally incompetent, Ensigns make poor decisions, and the ship has mysterious technology on board to produce last-minute inventions and medicines which would otherwise be impossible to produce: the narrative is subject to the skill of the writers, who are not military or scientific experts and need to artificially maintain a high sense of drama with on-screen deaths. Jenkins explains that Dahl and the other Ensigns' routine duties and colorful histories will inevitably make them targets of "the narrative" when the writers need "glorified extras" to kill for emotional impact.
I stared at it for a minute and figured there had to be a cliff or wall there. Brain unbroken.
This is a good example of "Rebellious Teenagers of IT". Nerds rebel against their stupid daddy manager and push their own processes. They write "clean code". Still playing with them selves, but now as "good" developers that followed "recommended clean practices" - the rituals of clean nerd tribe.

Linux used to break down all the time when I used Ubuntu variants and Gnome. Either Nvidia drivers, distro upgrades, gnome configs going awry. Switching to KDE Plasma Desktop & openSUSE Tumbleweed, reliability has been 99.9999% SLA! There are immutable Linux distros too. Very reliable esp. with fs snapshots/rollback and rolling updates.
My friend works at a company where they don't even ask for estimates. The "product management" makes up a schedule, then wonders why they are "late." It's laughable.
Don't put words in my mouth. The murder is not justified and the perpetrators deserve the appropriate penalties. As the Supreme Court explained, Nupur Sharma made the incendiary statements that incited the murder. Nobody here has claimed that Sharma deserves to die for her rhetoric. Sharma knew her comments were provocative and much more than "quoting a hadith", which is why she issued her apology after she was suspended from her position.
I agree with your point, but I think the industry suffers from its own incapability to communicate, I had a manager that would ask stuff on tight deadlines, and I would always complain, make sure they understood that it was not how things were to be done, but did it, once, twice, third time I refused and people got the task instead of me, silently. What you say about

>> "The _actual_ problem, though, is more insidious. It's that the engineer then frequently accomplishes the task in the shorter time frame, and looks like a miracle worker. This reinforces the manager's intuition that the engineer is padding the time estimates and trains them to continue to behave the same way in the future. What _isn't_ apparent is what was sacrificed in order to accomplish that time schedule."

The majority of things in life are not apparent, and that's what needs to be communicated correctly, the manager doesn't have a telepathy skill or a crystal ball, developers need to learn to talk
I hesitate to speak for every American but I think FRY would go over better.
If encryption is illegal, then hiding your crimes by using encryption might carry a big punishment regardless of what you're hiding.

If you made the punishment of using encryption death, criminals would likely
not use encryption for anything but the most heinous crimes.
Yes, some profiteering a-holes who brought nothing to the table just made up the rules for commercial property and everybody else: banks, developers, city halls, tenants, just played along for the sake of enriching said a-holes. /s

Just because you don't know what they do they must do nothing, right? And as this situation proves there's also no risk involved, right? How does a childish comment like this get to the top?
It isn't GPT4 and we don't call it that. And we clearly state that on our front page in first few lines. GPT is a term of art. OpenAI does not own it. You can think all you want about my character but I'm sleeping well. There is no effort to be deceptive and I've clearly explained what the name is about and why it was chosen.

Earn ads mean they don't need to make money with the OS itself anymore, which means they can give it away for free, which means its important for it to be cheap, which means its better to use something free and built on top.

Not sure I agree with the logic, but this is what I imagine the reasoning is.

I don't think the reasoning applies when you still have market dominance, and MS still does on the desktop.

In a similar vein, nobody would notice the old woman sitting at the railway station, knitting away, waiting for a train. In fact, what she was doing was including coded details into her knitting of train & troop movements, to be passed onto the Resistance at the end of the day.

Lots of brave people contributed to the war effort in surreptitious ways.
What happened to Cardpool was pretty messed up! I knew some people in the industry who knew the people in charge and mentioned that one day they just started getting a bunch of complaints, and then bam - out of business.

But yes! especially in b2b sells. I always try to be super anal about kyc with selling to business buyers in bulk, and avoid buying from them. I straight up stick to institutional suppliers to avoid this issue :(
> But simply put if a thing has value, people need to decide how to structure access to it. You can't get around having some entity that has the thing on its balance sheet, and that entity decides how to finance the maintenance of the thing.

I mean, you can. The property system isn't the only way to structure access to rival goods; it's just the best way[1].

Of course, without an owner, the property is immediately subject to the tragedy of the commons which is almost always worse than even the worst landlords.

1. For most things. Some stuff is... weird. I don't know a lot about water rights, but I've heard that's one of the least good areas of property law. And some things (ocean dwelling fish for example) can't really be property in a meaningful way.
The playground simulation is pretty cool.

One thing I found interesting, is it you go with PEWMA and create a scenario where the cluster is stressed, and then add 1 server, it pummels the shit out of the new server and you have a brief surge in failed requests.

Not sure if that is a real world issue, or just with the simulation...

The SUV Loophole was not a consumer decision. It was a bill passed by Congress after lobbying by the big three automakers who had a niche they could compete against the Japanese and the Europeans. Without it, our domestic automobile industry would have died. It won’t be closed unless the big three have another profitable path forward. I expect electrification is that path with products like the F-150 lightning. The vehicles will not get smaller once battery density and price points are met. I’d actually predict them to get larger. If I could drive an electric suburban, charged by my solar array - why wouldn’t I?
I would be curious what kind of person feels like they're on the receiving end of hate from "woke" people. Such a thing is practically the anthesis of what it even means to be part of that group. I'm in no way saying this means they're good people or that their legislative direction is good public policy but the only time hippie liberals push back at all is when someone tries to hurt one of their own. Liberals for the past decade have been entirely on the defensive. In my state there are 14 bills right now in the state legislature that explicitly target vulnerable populations. The democrats and our chapter of the ACLU can barely do anything but try to stop them.
These points are well said. It is easy to create a set of private but shared bathrooms around the existing plumbing blocks .. It could also let people have downtown apartments for 1/3 cost with a potentially great view .. We really need to do a better job of reimagining things into new and different things when the old is no longer wanted; don't get me started on malls...

But we aren't actively trying that is why the frontpage was updated to respond to exactly this criticism. There is no active deception going on here. You don't like the name, that's fine, but it clearly states it isn't affiliated.
Make it work, make it simple to understand for people with no context, make it robust to edge cases and bad inputs.
The problem is, that it is so much in the interest of those in power and with means to promote "stoic labor".
It really could only work around the time it existed I feel. The internet was a lot weirder back then.

One big difference then from now is that you basically need a PhD in the Canvas API (or WebGL or whatever) to accomplish something a 5 year old could do in Flash. Web design was a lot more accessible. You didn't have to worry about responsive designs and fluid layouts. You could just position:absolute everything and that was kinda fine.

Why do you think the supermarket wants to tie up a bunch of assets in some real estate for 10 years?

They're in the supermarket business not the real estate business.

Not to challenge your comment, but we have been converting office high-rises into apartments all over Detroit seemingly quite successfully and tastefully - with buildings built in the 1920s no less.

I am living in a converted office high-rise (built in 1914) right now in fact: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kales_Building

And there is another in the middle of conversion right next door: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Artists_Theatre_Build...

It is hard to generalize, but I would be willing to bet that it is cheaper to convert more modern, recently built or still under-construction office high-rises.
After graduation I moved to a large city away from friends and got pretty sad. Got a job back where I knew people even though it is way smaller and I immediately felt much better
> Copilot is much better for someone actually writing code

I haven't used copilot yet, but I'm using occasionally chatgpt with prompts such as "write a bash/python script take takes these parameters and perform this tasks". Then I iterate if needed, and usually, i can get what i want faster than without using chatgpt. It's not a game changer, but it's a performance boost.

How natural language is a distraction here? and how copilot would do much better for the same task?
The real reason is the same in Japan as it is in Europe and America: even controlling for hours worked, low wages, high cost of living, and other economic costs associated with having a child, women are choosing not the have children because it would require them to end their careers in their prime. It is extremely difficult to have a child and a career at the same time as a woman, and many never return to the workforce. Even women who make good money and can afford to have children decide not to because it would require them to stop working
When the name was chosen it wasn't based on GPTJ. Now it is. There is no deception and the website was updated to respond to this criticism. It isn't affiliated and it clearly states that.
One thing I learned from the comments of that video (Lennart Regebro):

> In Sweden, the concept of "city" was removed in 1971. Everything became just municipalities.

> This annoyed Stockholm, so in 1983, Stockholm municipality simply renamed itself "Stockholm Stad" (Stockholm City). That pissed Malmö and Göteborg off, and they also promptly renamed themselves to be cities. Today 14 municipalities n Sweden claim to be cities.
It doesn't see words.

Absolutely, I'm just saying this is what the rental company does in the modern economy. We have this world where we assign ownership to everything and let the owners decide what to do. Of course it could be different.
> No test scores, no GPAs, if you have a GED or high school diploma, you're accepted.

Not everyone with a high school diploma is equipped to succeed at college. If there are limited spots, it's better to take those who can make the best use of them.

It's best in terms of the outcome for society as a whole, and it's best in terms of the outcome for the students. If you just barely graduated high school, it's better to not be admitted to college than to be admitted, fail, and be $20,000 in debt.

Sure, some people like that will succeed - say, 10% of them. Is it worth putting the other 90% of them in a worse position? Is it worth not admitting the people who would have a 70% chance of succeeding in order to admit those with a 10% chance?
My personal* experience is that in areas of the US where real estate is highly valued, there's a low level resentment of anybody existing without having an intent to spend money. Parks are tolerated, but the expectation is that they're purely cosmetic, to be walked through at the very most.

* My experience is not universal and is just that: my personal experience.
A style I like as well, but methods are exactly that as well, only that `X` is implied, and there's a danger of abusing state (`f(X) -> Y` can and often is pure, whereas the entire point of methods is to be impure (modifying instance state)).
