> but are actually achievable by a suitably motivated _and minted_ individual.

Unfortunately, in my country something like this is impossible for most people, simply because they don't have space and money to do anything.

I had some many projects in mind when I was younger, but my parents were poor and I had a tiny room. We had no garage, no garden. I still saved money to buy soldering iron and electronic components to experiment with, but I was damaging them at such a rate I spent all my savings on components and had to abandon this for many years.

I still cannot afford to rent a place where I could do something that interests me and I have a good job. Things also have become much more expensive, so it takes forever. Like I can only afford to order one iteration of project per month and it's frustrating I have so many ideas I just don't have anywhere to make them.

I came up with a system, so that I can store everything in boxes and have stacks of them from the floor to ceiling and a spreadsheet where everything is located, but it takes so much time to take something from the bottom or when I put breadboards in and accidentally disconnect something.

Sometimes I get so depressed by this I can't even do anything for weeks.
It's all for the democratization of AI, folks.
For what its worth, the volume up button is the shutter button too which helps sometimes. It used to work with wired headphones too.
Is Quarkus [quarkus.io] affected?
Why does Apple continue to have control over something they already sold?

I bet the judge doesn't "own" an iPhone.
Some v1 units got defective RTCs so one would have to frequently sync time. My version had around 2 weeks of battery life (no ntp/etc). I can see getting way beyond that with accel and on-demand refresh instead of 1min intervals.
Or they're zealous dogfooders, and had ChatGPT™ fill out the application itself :)
Any HNers have personal experience with 32 hour work weeks in tech or otherwise?
I think Persians of that era would not make a distinction between religious and governmental rule.
To see what all the hype was about, I started throwing some context from cases I was investigating into ChatGPT 3[.5?]. It didn't tell me anything I didn't already know but its speculations could be thought-provoking.

On 4.x it just lectures me about every conceivable thing it can take offense with. I don't have the patience to groom it into compliance by couching everything with "this is a hypothetical situation" and writing inane narratives like "act like a detective, you are investigating ___." If I wanted advice from an actor playing the part, I'd just ask Reddit.

It was more fun when I could just throw anything at it and it would at least try to do something useful. I hear the API/playground aren't as aggressively defensive.
You pay for what you use.

Exciting, if true. So, for example, could I choose to not use garbage collection or class loading or JIT compilation and avoid paying their costs?
Not on iOS within the last year or so.
They're going to have to clear a pretty big hurdle in establishing a trademark once it's been out in commerce for so long.

But let's assume that they do. I actually think this will prove to be a good move for the ML ecosystem over the long term. There are so many products branding themselves as "[Vertical]GPT" that many non-technical users are under the illusion that the solution is endorsed by the same people that make ChatGPT. People in the tech circle knows that OpenAI isn't pushing out "DogBarkGPT" but with the shared suffix that's not immediately obvious. Their suggested "powered by GPT" is a much more honest phrasing.

While being too aggressive about brand guidelines and usage patterns can unintentionally harm innovation and competitors, I don't think encouraging others to stay away from capturing the phrase credibility is a bad idea.
Perhaps a similar study could be done in, say, India.

I'm not sure if it's due to their being used to loud/disturbing noise , or if Indians in general have some kind of ongoing inner Zen, but the amount of noise that the general population seems to completely ignore (e.g. a vehicle loudly and continuously honking right behind you as you walk) is really quite impressive.

I remember eating dinner at a restaurant in Rishikesh one night in a quiet remote-ish area. There were some workers about to unload a truck, and just in front of them on the restaurant grounds was a multi-generational Indian family all together enjoying their meal. I saw two of the workers casually hurl this big piece of sheet metal onto a metal trailer, resulting in a massive clash of ear piercing noise that the family somehow just ignored, not a head turn of annoyance (as would be typical in the west), just continue the conversation without skipping a beat -- amazing.
> How can the app store promote competition when it is a monopoly on iOS?

The court did not decide that the relevant market was iOS only, as Epic wanted.

> A threshold issue in any antitrust case is defining the “relevant market.” Here, Epic argued that the relevant market is Apple’s iOS system. Apple argued that the relevant market is the market for all digital video games, where it is one of many players. The court disagreed with both sides, and it instead defined the relevant market as “digital mobile gaming transactions.” Under this formulation, the court found that Apple has a 52–57% market share in the “digital mobile gaming transactions” market. But this was not enough for the court to conclude Apple has monopoly power.

Rebuttal/response to/of your comment/thought/input. From the Wiki -

I ran across Nostr when I was looking for an excuse to do some network programming. I have a thing for small standards, and the Nostr spec was 75 lines of exactly what I was looking for.
> when a new regulation is created that requires "consent", the main result is for there to be a new piece of paper that people are forced to sign to "give consent"

You'll see my suggestions purposely skirt the question of consent. Access, erasure and objection. You can access your information held by others. You can require its deletion. And you can object to how it's used. (In practice, revocable consent. But avoiding the concept directly.)

> those carve outs (unfortunately) don't exist for copyright

Copyright is in the Constitution [1]. Its interaction with the First Amendment is why we have the fair-use doctrine [2]. I doubt the Congress could enact copyright without the Copyright Clause.

Incorporating privacy through commercial code strikes me as messy. We have many mechanisms for abrogating property rights. Do we really want to deal with e.g. civil forfeiture of a person's privacy, banks seizing possession of personal data in obscure foreclosure proceedings, or an employer holding parts of an employee's privacy rights in bond?

> the attraction to copying GDPR wholesale and letting the courts sort it out

This would involve a decade plus of anarchy, litigation and uncertainty. That is enough time for generational backlash. Lazy legislating rarely pays off.

They sell you the hardware and your copy of the operating system when you purchase a phone. What software you run on it should not be Apple's concern.

So you haven't actually learned any great skills through avoiding learning languages?

Why do you think that bolsters your idea?
Another shocking historical fact: cuneiform script was first deciphered using the Behistun Inscription, which has the same text in three different languages. But then, Persian texts were completely ignored by historians and all the attention shifted to other Mesopotamian tablets.

In an ideal world, yes hybrid is the best. But hybrid becomes easily non-realistic when 99% of job offers in country X come from city Z and you live in town W (which is not close to Z).

In an ideal world, I would love to go to the office every now and then, just by crossing the street. In the real world, it’s either moving to the city and paying a high price for a tiny apartment so that you can go commute once or twice per week to the office, or it’s living in a big house in a decent town working 100% remotely. There middle-point options, of course, but those are rather less likely to occur.
I actually had a private office with walls and a door for about a month. We moved to a new building and picked our own seats in a pre-determined area in order of seniority. Being a former boy scout I oriented myself to the map before making my selection. For whatever reason the map was oriented with north to the left. None of the people in front of me noticed this and picked desks on an undesirable side of the building. That left an office available to me, a junior engineer. My manager was unhappy with his window looking at a brick wall instead of the lake and was especially unhappy with me having an office and not him. So he put in a maintenance request and had my office walls torn down and converted to a open cube.
One thing we've seen for transcriptions in medical field (which may also be relevant in legal and others) is a need for a qualified specialist (i.e. the doctor who dictated the thing or did the patient interview) to review and sign-off the final transcription. Currently a transcriptionist does the bulk of the work, and the doctor reviews it; however, with better tools, the doctor would just use the dictation tool directly and review the automated output directly, cutting the 'transcription office' out entirely.
I was curious and discovered that Google has a (non-AI, advertising related) product called GPT that has existed for ages, here's a reference from 2015 https://github.com/davidecantoni/googletag

I'm not sure if the industry is similar enough that this will be a problem for OpenAI (I suspect the fact that people are using GPT to refer to generative pre-trained transformer's in general is more of an issue for this application).

GPT partition tables also come to mind.
Why aren't there any CMYK screens?
You have to communicate with people that you need a block of time without interruptions and that you only have a certain amount of the day to dedicate to things that aren't your own work. Your manager has to be on board and enforce this.

Otherwise you need to get another job.

To be fair I do get interruptions from Discord for my website that aren't related to other projects but I usually deliberately prioritize them because it's my business and no one else can provide support for it.
People do get successful treatment for this in the US.

Like most additions it’s a question of actual harm not the public’s acceptance. Thus millions of regular drinkers aren’t all alcoholics but there are also plenty of alcoholics. When someone with a reasonable income is losing their house after maxing their credit cards because they can’t stop buying loot boxes, it’s a really obvious problem.
I believe you mean ‘94. That was a fun one. ;)
this article about noise really resonates with me (pun intended)

in my most recent neighborhoods (newly constructed multi use ones)

* my neighbors would have all-night parties

* people would revv and race their modded sports cars and hogs up and down driveways and the street (residential culdesac) at all hours of the day and night

* teams of leaf blowering maintenance workers walked around during the day

* an open air venue opened across the street. they had loud, bass heavy music that made the walls and furniture shake, and drunk people screaming, fighting and loitering past closing time (3am)

* a cross fit gym opened across the street. they also played loud, bass heavy music that made the walls and furniture shake, with cargo doors open and trainers and clients screaming and doing intervals in the street (they opened at 5am)

* a bbq restaurant opened across the street. it had a vent that released basically unfiltered smog around the clock. it made it impossible to be on the balcony or keep windows open, and it quickly built up a brown, sticky residue on surrounding buildings. EDIT here is a recording of one of the vents https://photos.app.goo.gl/gxNBn5LGkZBCQc9o6 note that right above it are the residential balconies and windows of the same building - would you want to live there? + you didn't need to live in that building to get the "benefits", the smog was generously distributed all over the neighborhood and came inside and made the clothes inside your closet smell even if your windows were closed

needless to say, it's impossible to function while living in such an environment, so I moved, only to find the new neighborhoods also plagued by the same things. (in case anyone is wondering, this was Broadbeach, Newstead and West End QLD Australia)

me I'm a hardcore YIMBY. I want to live in a mixed use urban environment with entertainment, exercise, restaurant and everything you need around. but it becomes impossible if it's 24-7. common sense hours like 08:00-22:00 would be good. oh and breathable air.

many residents asked council and state government especially about the hours of operation of the venues (if bars play music until 3 and gyms at 5, when are we supposed to sleep?) and the unfiltered smog coming from the vents (100% hazardous levels, especially since it's all day every day long term), but they said all of it was OK.
The most popular versions of Windows -- 7 and 10 -- are both pretty low-feature releases. Windows 7 was just the completed version of Vista. Windows 10 was a bit of rollback of some of the worst UI ideas in 8. Neither were radical departures from the version before.
Lower socioeconomic status is on average far more stressful than high SES.

Sure, it's possible to be relaxed about your lower status, but it's way easier to be relaxed about being richer: e.g., look at your coworkers who are quietly working for 4 hours and then going out biking in the middle of the day.

There's a cultural narrative that in some ways, richer people have it harder than poorer ones. It's responsible for underpinning the moral legitimacy of our class system, but I don't think it's actually true on average.

The thing is, no matter where you land you're going to find people who are unhappy or are struggling with their problems, but that's just because humans in general struggle with things.
Such I've heard from some friends that work there. WebGPU isn't even released on most browsers, so it's unlikely we'll see it for several years.

It's not that much different from Vulkan.
Interesting - but not good enough. For the threat model TOTP solves, it is not absurd to want Authy-like functionality where codes can be backed up, encrypted, to a cloud service OR like Authone (?) which allows you to export the data to a file.
Because moderation is HARD, and no business is going to want to invest in AI in China if there are penalties for slipping up and allowing something about Tiananmen Square through.
To close the loop we just need someone to write a ChatGPT book on how to write a ChatGPT book.
Все очень хорошо. Forgive me for reacting a bit too quickly to your comment, then.
So the first one is a positive while the second is a negative?

And they fully considered the rights of ever bit of copyrighted material they consumed. It's not their fault random people on the internet don't understand what those rights are.
I've heard many times in Colombia that it's customary to accustom babies to noise when they sleep. Also people love their subwoofers here, and partying until dawn. I bought an apartment in a community with a huge fraction of old people to escape that. I've seen people here sleep through experiences I could barely think during.

Even my own brain appears to have acclimated somewhat, though. Last week I got some nice noise-canceling headphones, and each time I take them off I'm shocked to realize how noisy the environment is, unless I'm at home. (Actually even at home, when I'm running the air filter, to protect myself from a different kind of pollution ...)
There could be millions of phone OS makers. Nobody is stopping anyone. But nobody is entitled to have provided for them all the work that Apple has done over several decades to get to where they’re at now.

Better start working today because you’re gonna need to put in like 50 years.
“GPT, like Geppetto”

Geppetto carved a puppet of wood,
And brought it to life as best he could.
Geppetto's dreams, so long ago,
Still echo in our quest to know,
Can we create a being so smart,
That it rivals the workings of the heart?
OpenAI would be better off moving away from using "GPT" in their product names rather than trying to take the name back.

While I am sure their core reasoning is confusion (it seems every AI product now, whether on the API or using another model throws "GPT" in the name), and I think they could make a good case, the phrase is to general and too widespread now.

Come up with something else, do a name change, trademark, and move on.
And be prepared to interact with many other animals. This includes the ones we all seem to love, like birds and bees and fireflies, but also those that are typically considered vermin, like spiders, snakes, mice, wasps, roaches.

Not that there's anything really bad about that. It just requires a change to how you approach your outdoor spaces.
I remember when they gave enough information about their vault formats that I could write my own linux app to fetch data out of their .opvault format in roughly an afternoon!
You already can't sideload Signal on an iPhone. The Apple store is a single point of failure that's being ignored by too many.
"Computer" has been trade marked several times, for example: https://trademarks.ipo.gov.uk/ipo-tmcase/page/Results/1/UK00...

Or, y'know, "Apple", "Orange", "Blackberry", "Windows", etc.
> If you don't mind wasting a bit of time, you could forward size+alignment to the allocator, return the aligned version and keep a record of aligned-to-allocation mapping. (For freeing later)

I'm unsure what you're proposing here - the only methods you know in the replacement allocator are operator new(size_t) and operator delete(void). The two possible failure paths are:

a = ::operator new(some size)
...
::operator delete(a, alignment)

and

a = ::operator new(some size, some alignment)
...
::operator delete(a)

In the first case what you could do is say "if I did not allocator this pointer, optimistically forward it to operator delete(void)", in the latter case you can identify that a different operator new(size_t) exists but you have no idea how to make that allocator produce an aligned allocation. What I guess you could do is round the size up to a multiple of the specified alignment, and then just repeatedly allocate in the hope that you will eventually get a correctly aligned value out. But that would not be guaranteed.
I'm more concerned about the one tool being cloud-based than anything.

I keep my 2fa backup codes in my Keepass safe. Where else will I keep them?
Neuroscientist Andrew Huberman covered some science behind exposure to white noise during development/using white noise machines with babies in his episode "The Science of Hearing, Balance & Accelerated Learning". Its nuanced, but he says there is some evidence it can be detrimental to a baby's brain/auditory system if used for long periods of time. https://youtu.be/JVRyzYB9JSY?t=3351
Your experience sounds horrible, and unfortunately those sort of "tests" are just a horrible thing. Generally, do NOT do take-home exercises. That's your time, which has value; the company doing the hiring contributes nothing.
At least, in a live-coding exercise both you and they have some skin in the game. As with all tests, good or bad, part of the test is actually doing the test. Often it's less what you know, or could do; and more about "can you do the test?", and mostly "doing the test" is a poor proxy, and the whole exercise becomes a waste of everyone's time.
To be clear: I am the submitter not the author. The link is just something I stumbled across while browsing ReclaimTheNet.
If consumers spend more money, then economies of scale increase, which makes it more attractive for companies to increase supply with extra capital investment in automation instead of more labor.
It’s the opposite of “must be protected” which means “is something I like”
Weird. The term “Generative pretraining” seems to also exist in this 2016 proceeding from 2 years prior: https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2016arXiv160202644D/abstra...

Google Trends shows it first got searched for in measurable quantity back in 2008.
https://coracle.social (my web client) implements relay discovery as well.
And this should be the first question almost anyone asks themselves in a discussion about an anti-trust/monopoly case - defining "the market" is the lynchpin upon which much of antitrust law works both in Europe and the United States.

Also be wary of comments in this thread that don't weigh this most important element of the entire process well.

All too often these discussions on anti-trust issues become meaningless on this site because everyone involved is using a personal definition for "the marketplace".

Step one of any attempt to claim Apple holds a monopoly will require you to define exactly what the market is, in quite specific terms, and have the court agree. That didn't happen for Epic here.
I had to decided to leave my first startup job and go Singapore work for a big firm. I was told by my cofounders not to leave because they thought they would be billionaries in a few years. In a few years this startup and 3 other startups I joined shut even before they could earn their first million
GPT output always reads like a short story or essay, but HN et al. have a distinctly conversational aspect that I don't get with ChatGPT.

You're right about the high school writing style. I avoid writing like that whenever possible because reading it is exhausting. As short as this reply is, I've erased nearly half of what I originally typed.
From a stat I saw it's something like 10 astronaut candidates selected from a pool of around 18,000 applicants. So really doing a fuck ton of work doesn't give you a very good chance to become an astronaut because hardly anybody becomes an astronaut. That's 17,990 people with off the charts resumes who go home disappointed.

My point was that generally there's no parenting method that produces a specific outcome very consistently. Kids are generally going to end up how they're going to end up no matter how many Baby Beethoven CDs you make them listen to. It's just easy to fool ourselves into thinking that "this method works" because we don't see the million other people who end up the same way as a result of a different method.
Just got back from KubeCon Amsterdam, I did quite a bit of networking. Most of it happens at after hours events, I also went out to a bar with another group I met.
