>e.g. even doesn't monitor its own output vs. its intentions

It wouldn't have "intentions" in any human manner. It would have to project a response for each token, and then use that token to generate the next token of response. Almost like it has to rethink things through for each syllable.

One might compare it to giving a human a prompt and letting them add one word, and then giving the same prompt with that word added to a second human and letting them add one word, and so on. It could easily end up with a sensible end-state even though there was no continuous intent from start to end, just aligned intent token by token taken from context.

This is the most interesting response I've gotten that demonstrates gpt-4 viewing its own output as it is built up:

>Yes, I am familiar with the story you're referring to. The title of the short story is "The Machine That Won the War." It was written by Isaac Asimov and first published in 1961. The story is a conversation between three men who played major roles in a war against an alien race, and they discuss the role of a machine called Multivac in winning the war.

>However, it seems that I've made an error in my recollection, as the specific detail you mentioned—refusing to work until the engineer says 'please'—is from a different short story, "Sally," also by Isaac Asimov. In "Sally," autonomous cars stop working until a command is given courteously, using the word 'please.'

This was one large reply, not two separate ones.
> I would love this as a device for TIG-torch actuation

Thanks for the chuckle.

My mom works with people with disabilities and all of her clients that I've met are like this--determined and capable.

I imagine there's a lot of people who need help in getting these tech setups going with a bunch of trial and error and then after that they can independently operate. Are there any volunteer groups that help with that?
Watch people under 30 use computers. They are just as likely to have a million newsletter subscriptions, and to click whatever makes the cookie banner disappear. HN is not a representative sample of the current generation.
I have joint+nerve issues and struggle using a computer -- but a mouse in particular -- for extended periods. Something like this would be game-changing for me; it would be awesome to have another input with "resolution"/accuracy anywhere close to what the mouse can do. Eye tracking isn't quite it for me, trackballs are very uncomfortable (thumbs are one of the biggest joint issues for me), ergonomic mice that meet my needs are hard to find with left-handed design, keyboard as mouse input works terribly, ... so a device like this would be wonderful.
The best solution would be the remove whatever stupid law allowed for that kind of censorship in the first place. As a bonus, if the UK puts up a better fight against this stuff it'll make it harder for it spread. Any nation where people have a vote should be strongly rejecting that crap.
> That's backwards.

See Wikipedia entry for Rice theorem subsection proof by reduction from the halting problem.

1. Have intersting property solver (e.g. is input squared)

2. Convert solver to halting problem solver

3. Solver is undecidable

So they are in some equatable/convertible.
I find conferences help my imposter syndrome immensely. I remember being at a conference and thinking it was all so incredibly basic, then looking around and seeing people scribble notes and feeling a huge sense of relief.
It never gets to Ireland though. Very disappointing.

Don't trust strangers on the internet with advice you don't understand the implications of. Even if they are sincere and mean well, they can still be wrong.

If you want an easy way to go long (or short) increased global economic inequality (Gini index) that seems to be the most liquid option.

It also speaks volumes about the true role of Europe in today's global economic landscape: recycling its long tradition of aristocratic affluence and "bon viveur" know-how to feed the needs of the global nouveau riche.
I am not aware of any that stopped using google search completely in favor of DDG,

For me DDG was better results, as Google has tried to read my mind and be "smart" about what i am "really" looking for instead of just giving me the results for the words I put in the box. I most often encounter this when looking for technical solutions to a technical problem. Google tends to be better for search results on non-technical items, current events, political topics etc

DDG has made their search less useful, is it less useful than google's trash when it comes to technical search results time will tell

>If you go to a tech conference with expensive tickets and pay out of pocket and aren't buying or selling anything contemplate what you are doing with your life.

If you can get a free pass as a speaker or otherwise and the conference is somewhere you'd like to spend some time anyway, it can make sense to spend a day or two at an event if it's something you're really interested in. But I agree in general that I'm not going to spend $1K+ out of my own pocket to attend a big commercial conference for fun.

It wasn't fully FOSS till 2021:

> The Inferno Business Unit closed after three years, and was sold to Vita Nuova Holdings. Vita Nuova continued development and offered commercial licenses to the complete system, and free downloads and licenses (not GPL compatible) for all of the system except the kernel and VM. They ported the software to new hardware and focused on distributed applications. Eventually, Vita Nuova released the 4th edition under more common free software licenses, and in 2021 they relicensed all editions under mainly the MIT License. [1]

No policies really just a general way of living. This is a disposable comment so am aiming to write more but things got 'busy' here and now we're getting ready for school! (And work..)

I'll elaborate this evening, but as a lower poster said, it is all rolling dice and everyone is certainly their own beast in their own cage. I will gladly share how it seemingly transpired (and I feel, more important, the reasoning behind focusing on such things).

In very short, I'm a huge believer that we seriously underestimate what small children are capable of understanding at you get ages, and have always felt that exposure to 'all the things' helps provide needed prospective about all that is available in life.

They have both absorbed enough surface level interest and actual information that when watching a video about a semi related subject, they find themselves referencing OTHER information they learned from another video/source and click the pieces together like Lego -- you can see their eyes light up when this connection is made in their head, and I feel it starts really showing that information across the board is solely a piece to a way way bigger puzzle, and that although learning about seemingly disconnected things in a jumble can often find itself existing the jumble and finding its place in APPLICATION in life somewhere.

This seems to really nail home the point that anything, really, may be worth learning because no doubt a real world use case may arise sometime in the future.

Again, I can write more when time allows, but that's the reasoning behind it all. We also do a ton of projects where we can actually, partially at least, use a lot of the things learned from videos and transcribe them from thoughts alone into tangible end results - beyond important for everyone of every age, IMO
Depends on how we define monkeys, years, genetics, intelligence, and world. Pick one, change its meaning and then let's revisit this.
Well, if sales rose 17% and the inflation is 40%, they’re not really getting richer.

It’s also apparently a luxury goods company, so it’s somebody buying a Louis Vutton handbag and paying for somebody else’s salary.

Whether or not you think that situation is fair, this is a clear case of a company facilitating the transfer of money from the well-off to the less well-off via salaries and taxes.

>Now, I’m not on the RailsConf committee this year, but I have been on it in the past. I was on it the year that we decided not to make David Hanemeier-Hansson[1], original committer to Rails, the keynote speaker for the first time in sixteen years. That guy melted down in this giant blog post that echoed throughout the halls of the online tech bro cafeteria for weeks.

David Heinemeier-Hansson wasn't the "original committer to Rails". He built the first version of Rails entirely on his own. As he's known to be quite opinionated and harsh in his tone, I read the "melt down" that was mentioned here and I really don't think it reads in that tone at all[2]. While I did find the article here quite interesting and do share some of the sentiment regarding tech conferences, I find this paragraph quite disingenuous.

The current AGI has no physical representation beyond software. That is why I am getting tripped up by these arguments. Without actual ability to physically actuate in the world, none of what you described is possible. All forms of intelligence is still limited by physical reality so I don't think just saying "ROBOTS" is a strong argument. [I'm going to say something incredibly cruel now so this is your trigger warning]. I think we will still be useful to the AI the way child labor was useful in the industrial revolution, some things just require fineness. Of course I am not endorsing any of this. This is just a logical conclusion of my own argument. I am horrified by it too.
In most deals both parties profit as they are not zero-sum games. You give me money, I give you a loaf of bread. But in the present case the deal appears to be zero-sum: Either Tesla saves money, or the customer, but not both.

As a freelancer you go to a conference to meet customers and colleagues and remember them that you're still alive :-) and still working on the technologies the conference is about. The best way to signal that is to give speech.

As an employee:

If you are in the position to spend money, hire people, buy services, you also meet people you work with and it helps.

If you're junior in general or in some technology, it can be a way to be exposed to it and learn some unknown unknown.

Anything in between, maybe it's just a nice day off, paid by the company.
No it doesn't, unless "it" is lying when asked about it.
Not to mention the internet moves so fast you can become illiterate again.

I bet most internet users have never tried VR, crypto currencies or ChatGPT yet. Some new things will come. Some will even stick for the long run. And inertia means illiteracy will rise.

No to mentions as the old people die, new kids are born in countries were internet is not widespread yet.

After all, some parts of the world still don't have electricity.
I hate how "market capitalization" is used. Intuitively it means how much of the market is served by the particular company, when in reality people use it to refer to the value of the company on markets where we trade shares of companies. As illustrated by this chart, those two numbers have at best a tenuous correlation: For example Tesla, a comparatively small car manufacturer, can be found on this chart, while their much larger competitors can't.

"Market value" (like in the HN title vs. on the site) is a much better word.

Isn’t it sad that the first $500b+ company from Europe is a peddler of vanity and overpriced luxury items?

Not a fan of enormously big companies, but at least the U.S. has the likes of Amazon, Tesla, and Microsoft offering much utility.

LVMH, on the other hand, is Europe’s most valuable company? What a sore lack of innovation…I’m not even surprised because it’s from the continent that still has a lot of kings and queens (albeit ceremonial)…still doesn’t change my mind because I believe royals are the biggest grifters on earth.
No it does not: if you google this and restrict the time to before 2021 (the learning cutoff date) you will find the same answer. Without having access to the training data it's impossible to tell what we seeing.

I stumbled upon this site a while ago which also includes ranking filters:

>All UK ISPs do.

Not all of them. I’m on Zen, no filters as far as I’m aware, sci-hub works fine. Libgen is fine. Torrent sites that the ‘main’ ISPs block come up just fine, too.

Edit: some of the ISPs that do seem to land on this URL (note http) –

whois shows BT (large ISP and telco) as the owner.
Yes, dramatiq is quite good, but I ditched it for something even more lightweight -- pubsub subscribers via push notification so workers are web workers responding to http requests that might take up to 10 minutes
I'm not saying Tesla is the bad guy here or anything. I'm just noting that when you are offered what looks like a zero-sum deal, the deal is probably not in your favor.
Is the day trader in your example trading their own money?

Because most traders aren't. They are bank and fund employees with KPIs, risk management oversight, massive support functions and very expensive computer programs.

Retail investors that are day trading on the other side of those professionals are absolutely gamblers though.

Ive been actually impressed by Crowdstrike product (I guess)

Ive tested a two or three years old Chrome version with JIT compiler vulnerability and guess what - on empty Linux vm it managed to escape chrome and execute code

Meanwhile on Windows with Crowdstrike Chrome just showed some error message about mem. access

Im not sure who handled that attack - was it Windows or Crowdstrike, but eitherway Ive been impressed
How well can we trust the valuations behind the rankings?

I'm a wee bit skeptical on the valuations of companies from China and to some extent Saudi.
No, they don't all do that. Those kind of blocks are mostly confined to a handful of the larger ISPs, and especially the mobile providers. I've yet to manage to find something my current ISP blocks, for example. Might well be they block something, but none of the "usual suspects" that I'm willing to test (e.g. Pirate Bay, Sci Hub)

Some of your complaints are valid (though they are mostly UX gripes), but this one I don't get.

I've done this multiple times and it's like three clicks. You click the channel's name, you click "videos", and you scroll down, that's it.

To get out of the house. When I started in tech, I went to conferences in pretty much every job. It was a lot of fun - and these were boring "legacy" businesses.

I remember I went to an Adobe conference in Chicago years and years ago, and they were giving away free iPad v1's to all participants. We were just in awe of these, and Adobe pretty much sabotaged the whole conference because no one was listening to the speakers, we were all just heads down playing with these new tablet thingies (not all of us even had smartphones at the time).

Sometimes I would take two days off and book my return trip for later. You are already there and your flight is covered - just pay extra for the stay and do touristy things.

Also - you can learn things.
I probably misunderstand what you wrote. Because I think a (wrapped) panic will only result in crashing the one request that caused it?

For example Gin provides a middleware wrapper for handling panics:
CustomRecoveryWithWriter returns a middleware for a given writer that recovers from any panics and calls the provided handle func to handle it.

I asked why newsletters are pushed so heavily: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32304011

There are more answers in the thread I linked.
Your point is totally valid, but I think the folks over at r/fatfire are probably wealthier than us peasants here.
I used to go to SXSW interactive most years, and one of the things that baffled me was why the conference had so many low quality panels - literally hundreds of sessions with 5 speakers and evidently very little preparation.

Then a friend pointed out that the primary purpose of a panel was to get companies to pay to send those five people to Austin, TX so you could hang out with them and have conversations.

That really clicked for me: the goal was to get a large number of (hopefully) interesting people in one place. It wasn't really about the content at all.
> Or if you create a conference that will largely be attended by tech employees you can make bank with a few months of after-work grinding

Most the people I know who organize conferences or are a part of organizing conferences don't make much "bank" to brag about and it's mostly about getting contacts, having fun and giving back to the community somewhat for them. But these people are all based in Europe, maybe elsewhere it looks differently.

Correct! It is a TimeSeries database for storing metrics. It is open source, including clustered version, and contains many additional tools for alerting, collecting and visualizing metrics.
There are many in VictoriaMetrics community who switched from Influx to VictoriaMetrics due to performance reasons. See also the following doc comparing differences between these two here https://docs.victoriametrics.com/guides/migrate-from-influx....

> Try watching the old videos of a channel you just discovered, that's 20 clicks and a lot of waiting just to get to the bottom of that endless scroll list.

This is where locally archiving the videos you like helps.

That must be one awkward call.
The CEFR is a tool to evaluate proficiency, but it's misleading if you look at it as a "ladder" with "native" at the top". Most adults aren't C2 in their own native language, despite "investing" sometimes hundreds of thousands of hours "learning" it.

This video [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqj5qPF_puU] by Olly Richards sums up my feelings on the definition of fluency. Personally, I believe even as early as B2 you can call yourself a fluent speaker, because it's roughly the level where you stop struggling to express your thoughts or to understand other people's. But it also depends how you have learned. B2 can look very different depending on whether it was leared in mostly academic vs literary vs spoken contexts.

> Even purely bilingual kids that learned both languages from birth have idiosyncrasies monolingual native speakers notice, for example.

Those tend to be cultural. My native language is French, but I cannot browse /r/france without wondering wtf everyone's talking about. I'm extremely disconnected from French culture as I moved out when I was 14, so I never experienced adulthood in French and I had to learn things like what "Pôle emploi" is or some such. I'm still C2 in French,

I also do make mistakes in English, but I catch plenty of native English speakers make egregious mistakes or not know fairly basic things about their own language. Another commenter mentioned the their/they're your/you're distinction is one that natives tend to mess up more often than non-natives; anecdotally, that seems correct to me.
There’s the tequila pitch too, but yea, I’d like to be optimistic as well. This whole story is so depressing.
TLDR: YAGNI
Are you thinking “market share”? “Capitalization”s base word is “capital”.
A lot of us probably take notes to keep our attention from drifting. Also, most talks have at least a nugget or two about something I hadn't quite thought of that way before.
