Lagging behind is only one issue, I explicilty mentioned the drama of newer updates that make many unconfortable given the rate that they now are coming with changes for the sake of it, just go read the comments on the C# 12 features announcements for a taste of it.
So using the word gezellig in situations are anything but gezellig is ironic

For me (in Belgium) I hear and use it in that ironic/mocking sense way more often. Whereas indeed in the Netherlands it is super common to use it in the normal sense.
While that is certainly plausible, I don't think it is inevitable. There have certainly been other points in the history of AI where it looked like exponential growth was about to render everything moot, and then the entire field hit a decade-long plateau.

I'm just a casual observer, but it's not obvious to me that the current set of AI tools and techniques are well-matched to the things that the now-ubiquitous large language models are bad at. (That being said, it's not obvious that they aren't either)
Me and most people want sync though. That is why it's the default. And I hope it stays that way.

You could run avahi and 'a simple ruby script' on the router instead (ok not most retail routers as stock, but e.g. OpenWRT) and do away with the Pi.
Prompt engineering is a thing for sure. Might want to search the news here for some clues on ycombinator to get better at it. And some tasks are beyond it.
I do think that this is going to make it a LOT more difficult for people to build up the kind of experience that folks like you have.

The barrier to entry to the role just got a lot lower, but the barrier to gaining enough experience to become a specialist just dramatically jumped up
I tried driving a car for the first time today. I just wanted to drive from my house to the end of the block. I crashed into a fire hydrant and almost killed three people. This should be a very simple and common task, going from your house to the end of the block, and yet the car failed miserably.

Sarcasm aside, at my company I've noticed a very disturbing split among my co-workers. One group of co-workers hold the above attitude, that they should be able to just use a tool on day one and it should be able to solve problems that even just a couple of months ago would have been unimaginable. That group of co-workers looks at ChatGPT and thinks it's basically underwhelming and a big nothingburger.

The other group of co-workers are learning how to use ChatGPT to solve their problems. They're learning clever ways of prompting ChatGPT, how to give it a proper system message, how to take large tasks and break it down into smaller tasks to offload a lot of the grunt work onto ChatGPT while they focus more on the overall architecture. That group of co-workers is seeing excellent gains in productivity.

The idea that you would just use a tool on day one, probably don't really know much about it or understand it that well, and expect it to magically solve your problems is about as foolish as driving a car for the first time, not really knowing anything about cars, and expecting nothing bad to happen.

ChatGPT is a tool, the people who take the time to learn that tool and understand how it works will become much more productive software developers, and those who don't will get left behind.
This is hype curve speak. I have used ChatGPT 4.0 to generate code. It is brilliant at templating. However, it still makes glaring errors.

My main bugbear is that ChatGPT has the confidence of a psychopath. It will never say it doesn't quite know how to program something, and it starts making up things to answer your question.

For example, I asked it to write code to load data from MySQL to Snowflake. The template looked fine until I discovered it made up a method that doesn't exist on Pandas data frames. Finally, when I asked it to chunk, it did a decent job...other than truncating the destination table every time it loaded a chunk of data.

Yes, it did a fantastic job templating the code, picking consistent variable names, etc. However, I could have gotten as far by Googling/StackOverflowing.

The advantage of Googled code is that you know it will likely work, give or take a few bugs. Most humans don't dream up methods that simply don't exist.

> I discovered that if the server gets hard shutdown by killing the power it will automatically start back up when the power turns on.

That's usually a configuration option in the BIOS setup screen, what to do on power loss: "Last state" or "Off", and your server probably has it configured as "Last state".
Of course serious prompts are more interesting, but you can have a lot of fun by asking it to analyze somomething silly like "candy shaped like Platonic solids for math professors." It'll even tell you when the customer would have no interest in the product.

Yikes, both of the ChatGPT essays were actually more pleasant to read than the one that he actually wrote - and this is Kent Beck.
I didn't say it wasn't a problem. I said it was not the problem here. Important distinction.

Licensing is not the reason for the sanitizers not being enabled in the default build, a lot of stuff isn't. If it were supported, it would probably be delegated to the ports version, along with the analyzer, additional llvm tools, cross-compiling, etc.

Does Vivaldi still build its UI with HTML/CSS/JS? The last few times I tried it that was the sticking point, because that made it feel unresponsive relative to other Chrome-based browsers. Interestingly Firefox doesn’t have nearly as much of a problem with this despite also using webstuff for UI, which suggests the issue lies in Vivaldi’s implementation.
Hands-On with the Inmos Transputer Part 1: Introduction
Ask HN: A search engine that finds things and doesn't use GPT et al.?
Looking for a recommendation. Google doesn't find things I search for any more. Bing has gone with making things up via AI instead of finding websites. I'm not very interested in a machine guessing answers to things I'm asking.

Is there anyone else left standing? I assume yahoo et al died years ago.

Usually looking for programming related information or research papers.
How did they get under the foundations of the building in order to move it?
I don't disagree. However, those who believe we are still on the accelerating curve also believe that somehow we will remain relevant. It doesn't make logical sense.

So, the only counter to my argument is that we hit a wall. This is very possible, but AI development thus far is certainly increasing the unpredictability of future events. As we move forward we are in some sense understanding it less. The disparity over the definition of AGI is only increasing.
What has this got to do with collectivism? People can collectively decide to do whatever they want. Germany collectively decide to have risky playgrounds for kids. Sweden collectively decided not to lock down hard for covid. It sounds to me like America could do with collectively standing up against these channels and rejecting the rubbish they are peddling.
Unfortunely, it only devalues the qualities that the word actually means in practice.
I uploaded a 750 page novel and asked to summarize the plot, to which it responded:

> I'm sorry, but I cannot provide a summary of the plot of this book as the PDF file does not contain any information about the plot. The PDF file only includes the cover design, copyright information, table of contents, and details about the author. It is possible that the book itself contains a summary or synopsis of its plot.

Is there a data truncation issue?
UPS’ also have this feature and it’s interesting to see the idle vs load wattage.

I like the idea of making compute, storage into appliances if possible locally.

It’s best to use ssds in the machines.

If you want spinning drives put them in a dedicated nas for storage.

I like some of the bookmarking ideas you highlighted. Both and Chrome and Firefox bookmarks seem completely neglected.

Interestingly, Microsoft’s Edge browser have a feature called 'collections'. A souped-up bookmarking feature: visual links, images, notes. Also, Edge lets you edit and annotate PDFs. (Chrome and Firefox display read-only PDFs).

This random YouTube video makes a case for Edge 'collections' and PDF features: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fjwNMyHWCY&t=152s

If you're interested in this sort of thing, there's a good group of folks who are building local-first libraries and software congregating at https://localfirstweb.dev/

They have had a few meetups so far which have been really good (including PVH speaking at the first one). And many of the local-first builders are hanging in their Discord.
Great question. What arcane libraries do all those Mac-specific text editors, IDEs, etc that Mac users rave about use, that they can't be cross-compiled for all three operating systems?
Nice to know I'm not alone. If I could reclaim time spent on rabbit hole projects that concluded with bail out, I feel I'd have a whole other lifetime. Yet somehow, each new rabbit hole project lures me in.
Um fusion being close to being viable, which your link is supporting, doesn't mean it's close enough to help us this century with regarding climate change (which is what your link is about), which isn't what I said it would do. I apologize if I worded it a way that you felt implied that.

South Korea I understand is investing heavily here[1]. If I'm not mistaken so is China. Too bad we (Western society) can't work with Iran on this as well.

However, please consider when we talk about changing our sources of energy over, that what will work has to work within costs and regulatory conditions.

If I'm not mistaken it can take around 20 years for an experienced nuclear capable nation to get a reactor up and running from initial phase of saying yes you can build a reactor.

Solar is outpacing that.[2]
Which your link also supports.

"The pattern of power supply is changing. The massive take-up of solar power by households means we have now permanently shifted from the old model of large power stations to one where supply is distributed around the network. "

Fission (by itself) is not solving climate change this century either.

Additionally I think fission powered cargo ships would be a great option to reduce carbon emissions too. Since the U.S. Navy is very experienced with nuclear powered vessels and Russia has that nuclear powered icebreaker, I think it's technology possible.

Unfortunately setting up a regularity system for that is likely completely unrealistic though I'm happy to be wrong here.

Neural networks are Turing-complete, so in theory a large enough one should be able to express any logic. So the main limitation here is the training process, but the way it’s done seems very flexible, so I think the main limitation at the moment is just model size, which is limited by hardware which is still improving exponentially (though it has been slowing down slightly)
I’ve had meetings with people who seem to have that exact prompt.

It is exclusive culture advertised as inclusive. But compared to the monarchs of old, these subculture simply lacks the popularity. With good reason too, although the "class" of the old guard at least had the decency to hide their prejudice.

I worked in the past, but today the concept of monarchy or higher virtue doesn't really work. I think far more unhealthy is not the lacking appreciation of success, it is the lack of enlightenment values, also often called universal values. In that regard the US is and will be the most successful western nation. If they manage to keep it that way that is... It certainly has won the battle of culture and ideas, even with the backlash of today.

>a straightforward democratic system

Is 2 wolves and lamb voting on what they will have for dinner. I have no desire to be ruled by the majority. If we had a a straightforward democratic system we would have no free speech, no gun rights, no rights at all really. We would be like Canada or the EU, I have no desire for that dystopia ( and yes I did call the EU and Canada a dystopia for which I am sure many will disagree)

I abhor collectivism, and systems of government designed to promote majoritarianism over the minority... and the smallest minority is the individual
Narrative content is not the same as interactive content. The quality of the content is not the same. I'm not sure what compelled you to make your point in the presence of such obvious points.

This is quite a big pond, my friend. The "get a better argument" line might go over well in your social circle, but HN is a big place with many smart people. Have some humility.

PayPal experiencing issues processing TaxIDs, customer funds on indefinite hold
New IRS regulations require PayPal to collect TaxID information from customers when a transaction of more than $600 is processed. This can be in the form of a social security number or other business related Tax IDs (https://www.paypal.com/us/brc/article/tax-id-number).

In the last week, many PayPal customers are experiencing a problem where TaxID information is provided, PayPal's system acknowledges the receipt of the information, but the hold on funds is not removed. When PayPal customer service is contacted they acknowledge that this is a technical problem on their end. However, they are not able to provide an estimated time to resolution.

Some customers are reporting holds of more than one week at this time.
Solving self driving is not a problem of using the correct sensors. Is a problem of understanding the semantics of the situation ahead of you.

- Does this ball running into the road, means a child might be running behind it?

- Does the pedestrian on the sidewalk with headphones and looking at the other side, not seeing my vehicle and the red light, is going to cross anyway?

- Since there is crashed truck on the road ahead, does this police officer making me signs to temporarily cross to the other side of the road, wants me to drive ahead ? Do I see its Ok anyway, because his colleague on the other side is holding the traffic coming this way?

- Can I go off road for 2 minutes because the hole in front of me is too big and the off road track looks good?

The discussion of how sensors are better than humans, and the systems don't get tired compared to humans misses all these. You can't solve a problem you started to work on under false premises or considerations of the problem space.
Thank you for posting this, I saw something similar but about having a homeserver to run Jellyfin and lost it. Bookmarked this and will implement this in the future.
Hm, and then I asked "in 3-4 paragraphs, what is this book about?", it summarized the _previous_ book by this author, that came out before the ChatGPT training cut off. I specifically chose a sample novel that was released in late 2022 to check that this wasn't just using general ChatGPT training and was actually using the PDF I uploaded.
I don't know about that. It's pretty amazing technology. Like it or not, it's impossible not to be impressed by LLMs.

Sure some people are out there trying to sell you a course, but I think it's unfair to say the most bloggers or academics are in that camp.
This isn't true. The FCC broadband map can identify individual postal addresses, indicating what is and isn't available at that specific location. I have personally used this to identify false information that was provided by some nearby ISPs to try and inflate their numbers.

Challenging these is a very easy process and requires that the ISP respond within 30 days. I've won all my challenges; basically correcting my entire extended neighborhood from false information. (Some ISPs do this for grant money reasons)
> I ask again: why not simply host it ourselves?

Because the average person and the average HN user are different sets of people. The typical person who wants to start a forum on, say, trout fishing or stamp collecting has only a vague notion of a server is, much less how to set one up and maintain it. Even if they did, they'd have little or no interest in doing those things. It's far easier for them to just make a Facebook group or whatever.
And we still won't have year of the Linux desktop, as Google will fork Windows 11 in an exchange deal with Microsoft.

Saudi Arabia effectively sets the price of oil. Ukraine doesn't produce any of it. Some tanks banging around the countryside there are not major consumers of oil, one oil tanker crossing the ocean is burning and blasting through orders of magnitude more oil.
Imagine how powerful an ai would be if we would give it access to all the info behind firewalls.
I think I agree with the analysis. It's why aspects like data verifiability are potentially more important than fancy peer-to-peer routing and transfer protocols. Once you have Merkle proofs of data, it's just as powerful whether it is on the client or server.

And that's not good for CO2 levels. We can't be pumping crude oil up, using some of the latent energy to convert the product into a lawn chair for a few years, and then burning it.

They literally declared to belong to the same area, the "Third Way": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_Way . They both loved Anthony Giddens' works, believed in triangulation and private-public partnerships as essential, morality-based foreign policy, etc etc.

On healthcare, the difference was due to the starting points in the two countries. What eventually turned into "Obamacare" was a push started under Clinton to address the obvious shortcomings of insurance-based healthcare in the US, providing an approximation of European universal-healthcare principles that could actually be applicable to the US context. Hillary Clinton was a massive supporter of that effort, effectively the link between the two Democratic presidencies. It just so happened that, because of the specific peculiarities of the US system (i.e. massive lobbying and astroturfing from insurance and healthcare giants), the actual law eventually morphed into what Obama enacted.
However, Xfinity has already got in trouble for inaccurate data. Then what happens is you can challenge the data - for your address only. Then Xfinity will deny your challenge (they've got caught just doing an automatic denial), and then you have to appeal it. And once your appeal is upheld, ONLY your address is updated, not the block, or anything else.
Sounds like you could make an argument that cities make people depressed as well then.

I wonder if population density is a driving force for depression, both online and offline.

I'd buy that. I find cities miserable.
> For example, NJ used to have machines that were proven to have attack vectors.

Why use machines at all? In my opinion any action that does not remove the machines altogether is not good enough. Machines are hack-able, humans are much harder to "hack", especially if you have both parties' representatives in the room at all times.

I tell friends that the scene below from T2 doesn't feel futuristic anymore. In fact, it now feels... almost mundane. I mean, a smart "script kiddie" with a bit of ML expertise can pull off this kind of deepfake voice spoofing on a relatively cheap desktop computer nowadays. We live in interesting times.

SCENE:

T-800, speaking to John Connor in normal voice: "What's the dog's name?"

John Connor: "Max."

T-800, impersonating John, on the phone with T-1000: "Hey Janelle, what's wrong with Wolfie? I can hear him barking. Is he all right?"

T-1000, impersonating John's foster mother, Janelle: "Wolfie's fine, honey. Wolfie's just fine. Where are you?"

T-800 hangs up the phone and says to John in normal voice: "Your foster parents are dead."
