Can I ask you a dumb question: Are you prompting it at all?

The stunted robotic writing is what you get if you don't prompt it. You can tell it to write like Hunter S. Thompson and Chuck Palahniuk for example:

As your cursor hovers over the downvote button, your heart races with anticipation. You can feel the sweat beads forming on your forehead as you prepare to unleash your disapproval upon the unsuspecting post. The adrenaline courses through your veins like a river of fire, urging you to click that button and unleash your fury upon the unworthy.

The moment you click that button, everything else fades away into a blur. The world around you dissolves into a haze of red-hot anger and righteous indignation. You can feel the power surging through you, as if you've become some kind of digital god, smiting the unworthy with your divine judgment.

And then, just like that, it's over. The rush subsides, and you're left with a sense of satisfaction and smug superiority. You've done your part to uphold the standards of Hacker News, and you've done it with all the ferocity and passion of a true believer.

In the end, it's not about the downvote itself. It's about the power it represents, the ability to shape the discourse and wield influence in the digital realm. And for those brief, glorious moments, you are the master of your own destiny, a force to be reckoned with in the online world.
I'm confused by the forbidden surveillance example. Generally surveillance camera's are legal for any place where there is no expectation of privacy. The expectation of privacy is largely only ones home, outside of that you can be video taped all day long by anyone. I'm not sure how this is analgous..

The million messages example is interesting. Though, what examples are there? In what cases is something legal to do it once, but there is some threshold where you cannot do it many times?

The "sending millions of messages" is only perhaps illegal because it breaks terms of service. Or, the one message is perhaps also illegal but nobody cares to pursue litigation for one instance of an infraction. The point remains though, if an individual does something once that is legal - it makes that activity legal, period and full stop. No?
ChatGPT has turned me into a better writer. I am pretty good at converting information but it is often a dry writing style. ChatGPT can help make the style more engaging while still conveying the same information.
That's it, thank you!

I chose the word because I remembered it being a bit rant-adjacent ("we're used to doing it this way, ... but windows does it that way"). But it's been a while since I watched it (not particularly attentively either, to be honest). That's just what stuck.
Shows how different the software ecosystem is. For a product that I worked on - during a decade, the DB system got swapped out 4 times - all driven by customer demand. The app software evolved continuously but the DB was hard changed - with all relevant schema and data migration applied during the upgrade process.
"no amount of prefixing will help you, if random app enforces the limit"

I've noticed that, it's partially the reason for my confusion (I didn't wake up for quite a while as I put it down to the different versions of Windows I was running on various machines). Other pains are caused by apps that still don't run Unicode and crash or stop copying when they encounter a non-ASCII character.
Aight, so cheap labor can lead to some cringe content, but ChatGPT? It's free and lowkey does a solid job. Not gonna lie, it's not a literary genius, but AI's leveling up with each tech upgrade.

Sure, ChatGPT's not as lit as those creative human writers, but it's a game changer for peeps on a budget. And remember, this AI's still evolving, so the sky's the limit!

Human writers got that unique vibe, no cap. But for some folks, ChatGPT is the real deal when cash is tight. So, don't throw shade at the AI too soon, it's out here doing its best.
AKA "best practices" or "you'll never be fired for buying a Microsoft product"
Thanks, and that would be awesome! I'll keep an eye out.
Supply and demand. Without the expected demand of the San Jose Google campus, it's possible that prices drop without building anything.
XboxAhoy linked me his IFF, and here it is on my Amiga 1000 and 1080 CRT. (Obviously that old 1080 doesn't like to lie on its side...)

Not sure I understand what you mean.

The parent comment to you said “writing -- but”. The “-” used there is different from the endash; “–”. And so I posit that “--” (double hyphen) is emulating “–” (endash).
After owning two circulators that wore out after less than a year's use, I decided to buy a Ninja Foodie instead.

The temperature settings are in 5° increments, but the temperature accuracy is spot on without any moving parts to wear out.
It is interesting to see coders starting to express the same complaints artists had a year ago when AI image making became really, really good, by training on copyrighted art.
One of Australia's mining magnates has been supporting a similar initiative through his non-profit for the last few years with the goal of having any forest fire extinguished (probably managed) within an hour [1].

He's tipped into the XPrize as well [2].

TBH, 99% of human writers would struggle to produce this analysis at all, let alone efficiently.

This is why so many people are turning to ChatGPT.
It could've been handled as DLC that downloads with a game by default and can be uninstalled/disabled, if we are talking low-effort solutions.
I saw this earlier where somebody used chatgpt and bard to stage a "debate". The responses were relatively predictable "high school essay" writing, which I can picture being better than some alternatives, if that's the regime you're interested in. As others have said, it's just a replacement for low-brow content that's not there to be read but exists for SEO or marketing. Cost rules, as long as it's passable english, as it's never going near an actual thinking brain.

> so long as your code is correct

This is a pretty tough definition of correct, though. Without foreign key constraints you'll have a really tough time dealing with concurrency artifacts without raising your isolation levels, which generally brings larger performance concerns.
Just need to throw in some clever CV segmentation ;)
ChatGPT4 uses (e.g.) Chicago style instead of (e.g.) AP for em-dash?
I had the 2600 and Star Raiders with the complete accessories keypad joystick and love every minute of it. I always dream of owning the Atari 800.
EcoHabit: An Open Source Project for Environmental Awareness (Earth Day Special)
It isn't all junk though, it's stuff people spend their time reading. People like to listen to CHAT-GPT. I hear it all the time. I myself am not too big on talking to ChatGPT but I find that when I go to ChatGPT to experiment with it I tend to spend extra time just chatting.
I find it baffling that you can know about the disaster at Vogtle and think that it's something that should be tried again right away.

What utility would do this? It is financial suicide. There's no allocator of capital whos going to look at Vogue and think "yes this is worth another shot". None. What investor?

There's two half-built reactors in South Carolina. Who would be foolish to even try to complete them now?

There is literally no one with the expertise to execute on more reactors that thinks we should order more AP1000, because now in 2023 we know much more than we did in 2008 and we know that nobody in the US can build them competitively.
That is really neat have you considered contributing this to btrfs as a recovery option or putting out an ISO with this as a recovery tool?
I've had lots of programs, libraries and scripts freak out from having whitespace in a file path.

> I said something that was clearly not accurate and people pushed back

Is my life experience invalid? It's a needless error that i never want to deal with again. I cover my mouth when i cough, i use my turn signal when changing lanes, and i don't put whitespace in a filepath or a URL. It's that simple.

What i cannot fathom for the life of me, on HN of all places, is vehemently defending a practice that is not guaranteed to work 100% of the time: "Well iiiive never grazed an oven coil pulling a potroast out of the oven so obviously this guy is an idiot for advocating oven mitts." Give me a break dude.
How many acres of housing would this have had? I honestly have no conception of how much space 4,000 people take up
tbh, ChatGPT is as good as the typical SEO filler crap that’s littering the web.
UWF does come in handy for things like thin clients from my experience.

> The one I actually find annoying though is when people use "an" before a word that starts with a (pronounced) h, like "an historic building". It's like, dude, I know you're trying to seem all smart and superior and it isn't working.

Do what now? I wonder what accent you have and which ones you’ve regularly heard spoken. For me, using “an” is essentially mandatory, because there is absolutely no “h” sound at the beginning of “historic” at normal speaking speed. It’s just like “it has been an honor” or “it will take an hour.” The idea that it’s being done deliberately to sound superior is hysterical.
At least tell us if this is GTP4 (the paid version) or not. I know GTP can say amazing and relevant things, but at this point quoting it is like copy pasting large sections of Wikipedia without added insight. We can all go talk to GTP ourselves if we want.
My brother speaks seven languages and likes to talk about his challenges in teaching mass nouns to students in South Korea.
Dry cask storage on site is absolutely safe. It's dry waste, there's nothing to leak. It sits in reinforced concrete casks that are rated to last over a hundred years. After that, you can just put it in a new cask and repeat. There's not very much of it so you can just keep it at the site.
I think getting around permissions would be an issue but when I was starting on Linux I remember there was a way to install to Fat32 inside a directory in parallel with Windows 95. The distro was called Phat, so the concept is not exactly new.
Funny, I saw a post from one of those really infamous tabloids seemingly decrying how AI generated material was being used to spread lies about some celebrity’s health.

Sounds like they’re particularly afraid of being obsoleted.
“ without the limitations of…bias”

Human writers also have a hard time recognizing and acknowledging their own bias, so I guess this is pretty spot on.
Linux has an upstream kernel driver for NTFS, you don't need fuse ntfs-3g any more (well, they have different quirks such as how UNIX permissions are emulated).

The readwrite driver is new, but it always had an older readonly driver too, which would be fine for benchmarking.

Back in 2011 Tuxera's proprietary Linux NTFS driver was maybe faster than ext as well: https://www.phoronix.com/news/OTU5Ng
Star Raiders is a great game, but Gauntlet(Gauntletak) was hands down my favorite. I still fire up an emulator every now and then for a play through.
People have noted that at the extrema AI will cause problems for copyrights and people won't publish original content because it will be consumed by these AI's. All of which might be true. But it did make me wonder if AI might cause a big shift in our political/economic environment.

For example, could Ai be considered a public work and a model where a key aspect of government is to reward contribution to it. That is, people would focus on generating content for AI and be paid by the government to do so with some governing body that determines the value of contribution. The idea being that enhancing the AI is a public good. At least until AI can generate its own novel and useful content. At which point things probably takeoff in a way that looks like sci-fi.
Eh, that's a specific type of wordplay and not so clever. Just add it to your prompt.

Subsequent "pages," accessed from the lower right corner take you to "Basics" and Built-In Functions" and more. It's not a sheet,
I think you underestimate how much corporate work boils down to string sentences together in a coherent manner. In the US, most college graduates get through school by writing essays and taking tests.

If a computer can do all of the essay writing and test taking… how many jobs did it just eliminate?
In the book, The Hunt for Red October, the acoustic signature of the Caterpillar Drive is modeled on a Cray-2 (pretty sure). There's a nice plot segment where the protagonist and the Cray operator make a wager on how long it will take to complete.

In comparison to that model of Cray I'd be curious how the Raspberry's fair. I actually learned linux on a bunch of 486/586 boxen given to me by my neighbor, so powering a Pi2 from my laptop's USB port and getting a full linux distro really impressed me.
Not as bad as it could have been, but likely worse than they expected or wanted.

> a similar, generic, "college essay" feel to it

I worked for a large periodical publishing corp throughout my 20s. This + quick turnaround is exactly what the publishing staff (ad sales) fought for, because it was safe. Only the edit staff (writers, etc.) wanted anything else, and those who really wanted it left.
I don't know for sure, but I suspect (in keeping with the fetishization of Latin that motivates many prescriptivist rules, like the injunction to never split an infinitive) that this arises from Ancient Greek[0], wherein there is not a separate letter "H" but rather a modification ("breath", if I remember rightly?) on the vowel. If you (mis)apply this rule to English, "hospital" starts with a vowel.

[0] this might be true in Modern Greek as well, I don't know - but English professors don't have such a raging boner for the modern version.
IIRC CockroachDB had (has?) interleaved tables for this reason. It seemed to allow collocating shards with the same foreign key in the same machine, leveraging composite keys for that.

For example, a multi-tenant application could have a tenants table with PK id, and an orders table with PK (tenant_id, id), and a FK from orders(tenant_id) to tenants(id). Then CockroachDB would keep the orders with tenant_id = 123 in the same machine where the tenant with id = 123 was.

I have the impression they deprecated interleaved tables, but I can't find more info about it.
The full name of the company seems to be “Rust for Javascript Developers Ltd”

Disclaimer: I hate Oracle
In spirit I agree, but I think you picked a bad example. With just version 3.5 I got these. They aren't cherry-picked, I just massaged the responses with a little back-and-forth (funnier and punnier) Here are the first 5.

Bun-believable! These Hot Buns Will Have You Saying 'Oh Doughn't Mind If I Do'"
"Hot Buns: The Yeast You Can Do for Your Taste Buds"
"Bake Your Day with These Hot Buns: The Roll-ly Grail of Breakfast Treats"
"Raisin the Bar: How to Make Hot Cross Buns that are Bun-derfully Delicious"
"Don't Be Alarmed, These Hot Buns are Oven-tually Going to Be Your Favorites"

A compromise is that your prompt has to be creative.. so a human is still in the loop for now..
No, that was GPT 3.5. But here's the GPT 4 version, if anyone is interested:

Me: Please write me a paragraph explaining why content written by ChatGPT is likely to be of lower quality than that written by a human writer.

GPT 4: While ChatGPT, based on the GPT-4 architecture, is an impressive AI language model that can generate human-like text, it is important to acknowledge its limitations in comparison to a human writer. First, ChatGPT lacks the nuanced understanding of context that humans possess, which can lead to inconsistencies or inaccuracies in its responses. Second, its training data, which is only current up to September 2021, may leave it unable to address recent developments or ideas. Third, the AI model can be sensitive to input phrasing, meaning that slight changes in the user's prompt can yield vastly different results. Finally, it cannot draw on personal experiences, emotions, or empathy in the same way that a human writer can, which may make its content less engaging, relatable, or authentic. While ChatGPT can produce impressive text, it is essential to recognize the areas where it falls short of a skilled human writer.

And the other way around:

Me: Please write me a paragraph explaining why content written by ChatGPT is likely to be of higher quality than that written by a human writer.

GPT 4: Content generated by ChatGPT, utilizing the advanced GPT-4 architecture, has the potential to surpass human writers in certain aspects. Firstly, its vast knowledge base, which encompasses a wide array of subjects, allows it to provide well-informed and accurate content on diverse topics, often exceeding the expertise of a single human writer. Secondly, its ability to process and analyze large amounts of data quickly enables it to deliver high-quality content efficiently, often in a matter of seconds. Additionally, ChatGPT's impartial nature can reduce the risk of personal bias or emotions affecting the content, promoting a more objective and factual output. Furthermore, the AI's consistency in grammar, spelling, and writing style ensures that the generated content maintains a high standard of quality, free from common human errors. While it may not replace the creativity and empathy of human writers, ChatGPT offers distinct advantages in specific contexts.

Doesn't appear to be a huge difference at first blush. YMMV.
Possibly the most annoying thing about windows w.r.t. this topic is you need a large physical C drive to accomodate future windows bloat. It is very hard to get anything installed to put data on another physical drive. It is impossible to extend C to
another physical drive. Realistically you need a 1TB SSD/NVMe as your primary drive. So if you get a laptop you then usually need to get a high end one to offer you that.
ive always given 4 weeks, and would work up to the last day, usually documenting some processes/workflow for the next guy to come along. Last time i actually felt compelled to annotate a video showing my workflow.
Actually, you can embed emacs inside of the kernel binary itself.

Then just drop the kernel image onto your EFI partition, and you have a single-binary Linux/emacs system!
So you've chosen capitulation. Your endurance of tyranny is 100%, is that correct?
Thanks for giving it a try and sharing the results, everyone!

One other possible cause I thought of is that I did have the test file in my mix project already. If copilot looks at the corresponding file in the test dir, then it would not be a coincidence at all that all function names were identical or that it wrote a tail recursive solution instead of the naive solution that would have failed the final test.
Clunky? Version control built in, distributed FS built in...
This is fantastic!

As a non-academic working in neurotech/sleeptech, we've seen some very questionable studies, and even in discussion with researchers, they've suggested how the study can be designed to get the result you are looking for.

I hope an open system with discussion can improve the state of research and access to research for a larger group.
I think the difference is in the perspective. The data is the substance you process, while the data are the observations or measurements you analyze. People who use "data" as plural tend to be more interested in the content than in operating the machinery.
Yes Chat GPT as a personal assistant is great. But tell it to create content spam and use that so someone else finds it when googling how to train their dog is less useful for the person searching.
Many of the entries in that table (LTO) are for 20 year life extensiom of existing plants, not new plants.

I asked ChatGPT-4 to do this, but I added "in a creative, original, and witty way". This is what ChatGPT gave me:

1. "Heavenly Buns on the Rise: Our Hot Cross Buns are Simply Divine!"

2. "Bunbelievable! Our Hot Cross Buns Will Make You Hoppy this Easter!"

3. "Hallelu-bun-jah! Feast Your Eyes (and Mouth) on These Scrumptious Hot Cross Buns!"

4. "Cross Your Heart and Hope to Buy: Irresistible Hot Cross Buns Just in Time for Easter!"

5. "Hot Cross Fun: Get Ready to Bun-dle Up with Our Tasty Easter Treats!"

6. "No Bunny Compares: Hop into Easter with Our Delectable Hot Cross Buns!"

7. "Get Egg-cited! Our Hot Cross Buns are Simply Bun-derful!"

8. "Cross Your Buns and Dot Your I's: The Ultimate Easter Treat has Arrived!"

9. "Bun Voyage: Embark on a Flavor Adventure with Our Heavenly Hot Cross Buns!"

10. "Holy Buns-a-roo! It's a Hot Cross Bunanza You Won't Want to Miss!"

I thought they were pretty good. And honestly better than what I'd come up with. But also this isn't something I'm good at, or even good at judging. So take my opinion for what its worth given my lack of experience here, but I thought it wasn't too bad.

UPDATE:

I decided to ask ChatGPT to do it again, but this time to remove references to Easter and instead make it NBA Playoff themed. This is what it gave me:

1. "Bun and Dones: Hot Cross Buns that Make Your Taste Buds Slam Dunk!"

2. "From Downtown! Our Hot Cross Buns are a Three-Pointer in Deliciousness!"

3. "Courtside Cravings: Get Hooked on Our Sky-High Hot Cross Buns!"

4. "Pick and Roll Your Way to Flavor Town with Our Dribble-icious Hot Cross Buns!"

5. "Give Your Appetite a Full Court Press with Our Swish-worthy Hot Cross Buns!"

6. "Treat Yo' Self to a Layup of Yum with Our Un-bun-lievably Tasty Hot Cross Buns!"

7. "Bunbelievable Rebounds: Our Hot Cross Buns Will Keep You Coming Back for More!"

8. "A Slam Bun-kin' Good Time: Taste the Victory with Our Hot Cross Buns!"

9. "Step Up Your Snack Game with our Ballin' Hot Cross Buns!"

10. "Hot Cross Buns: Bringing the Heat to Your NBA Playoff Watch Party!"

I liked that I could tweak it toward a direction and get instant feedback.
I describe it's writing style as "8th grade honors student". It's all very correct and perfectly structured but facile and frequently reductive and with obvious errors you'd expect from someone who has only read about the world in books.
Thanks I wasn't aware of that, I stand corrected
The best use case for me right now is producing documentation that speaks a median style of English.
