Hi, I am an experienced Developer (4+ years) with Masters in Computer Science. 3+ years working with Angular and RxJS, the rest of it is React and React Native. In addition to my developer experience, I am also a mentor in the company I work and write blog articles about RxJS, TypeScript, etc. Also, last year I held a lecture at an IT conference about that. Currently, I am learning the backend with NestJS, Sequelize, and PostgreSQL so mowing towards Full-stack.
Plastic would still win in this case. It needs to relate to the environmental cost of production and disposal.
Love cycling and all things related to cycling. THrowing my CV in the mix, why not?
Sounds like a regressive tax to me - rich men can pay sorters to avoid ever wasting their own time on recycling, poor men who can least afford the time and effort and fines if they get it wrong meantime suffer under the system.

Much better approach would be tax-funded recycling sorters - much more cost efficient to do all the work at the point of collection besides, allows for training and specialized equipment.
I'm curious - how do you pass the article to GPT? Are you doing any formatting?
I think there are a few tricks I use to get correct code:

1) GPT4 is a must, the code quality is so much better than GPT3

2) You can use a longer explanation than you think. Be detailed in exactly what you want. Clearly describe function inputs and outputs.

3) Provide GPT3 with the APIs to use, and break these down. If you want it to call an API and do some logic, you can prompt it twice - once to build a function to get data from the API and once to build a function that requests from the function in the first request. Do both of these as separate chat GPT sessions.

4) Give GPT a chance to fix errors - pipe the exact errors back in after you have run them so GPT can amend its code.

5) if you want the code to operate/be written in a particular way then tell GPT and even provide pseudo code if worthwhile. If you want error handling, request it. If you want the SQL statements to be run in a transaction, request it. It probably won’t do these things by default.

6) don’t use even slightly obscure languages.
The externalities for white-collar crime are enormous. Wage theft against workers reduces their wages and creates a culture where unpaid work is expected, along with many other exploitations; and, their lower wages often result in people struggling to survive.
And how many of those people would have been evacuated anyway for well the tsunami damage?
I've actually had great success with the automation of boiler plate DevOps nonsense using GPT-4, including: GitHub actions, Caddy scripts, Docker files, etc.

Every second that I didn't have to:

- go look up a similar problem on Google

- open three or four stack overflow tabs

- read through the stack overflow links

- copy out the answer

- change all the variables to match variable names that I want

All of this represents a huge time saver for me. I'm honestly baffled that people lack the ability to use LLMs in a productive and optimal manner.
> Just like we pay people money to sing for us, we'll pay people money to dream for us. The best dreamers and imagineers will sell their distilled thoughts for the rest of us to consume.

[unpleasant thought]

> This is just vivid imagination.

The progression above is why I regard your vision of imagination as a consumer good so immediately off-putting. It's all glitz and glamor until you encounter an idea you don't like, and then you're immediately dismissive of it.

Professionally, I specialize in database management and distributed system work, and have cultivated a hacker's mindset to approach complex problems with ingenuity and resourcefulness. In my free time, I enjoy exploring cutting-edge technologies such as Rust programming language and Deep Learning to stay ahead of the curve and expand my skillset.

The three main buttons for email: Reply, forward, delete looks exactly the same.
From a UI standpoint, if all buttons look the same, the usability would be low.

I wonder why this decision is made? Probably to make it more "zen" like.

As an asian myself, I feel like this guy is feeding into the oriental fetish in the western market, or rather exploiting gimmicky eastern terminologies to justify his design(ugh). I mean fog is not a Japanese exclusive, why use Kiri? He's not even Japanese....and how the Daoist Way influenced your UI transitions again?
Yeah, it gives (assumably) simpler (more likely only different) than usual answer to trivial matters where we basically need no computers. But how about complex matters and tasks what computers are actually made for?

Ask HN: Small Business It Setup, selfhosting?
Hi HN.
I am looking for advice on organizing our digital infrastructure, how to setup mattermost as a small business with no selfhosting experience?

I would love to get out of the trello / slack / google environment and save the premium as things are scaling up.

I have contacted the local ubuntu community, as I hoping to find a local consultant.

Looking forward hearing from you, thank you for your time. Best regards Anders
I understand why you might want to block those specific countries, but in my personal cybersec experience, most of the malicious traffic actually comes from AWS and other big enterprises, mainly because of compromised servers hosted there. So I actually don't know what specifically you get by geo blocking, bad guys will still reach your internet hosted service.
I’m not OP but I assume they’re talking about fully blacked out windows, not the kind that just blocks heat from the sun.
Isn’t this just association? Which ChatGPT is clearly very good at, and certainly a large part of what humans are good at and have traditionally been better than machines at.
Ireland is getting there, with the Leap card. It works on city rail / trams and most buses including those run by private firms, operating expenses routes to major towns. Unfortunately our major rail lines don't accept it :( but that may be due to the need to provide seat bookings.
> Border Force (a ridiculous name for a border inspection agency)

It's a uniformed service that enforces Australia's border controls. Far from being ridiculous, I can't think of a more appropriate name.
My first attempt, GPT-4:

Me: Please compose three different sentences. They can be on any topic you feel like, but each sentence must have the last word be 'tomato'.

ChatGPT:
Despite her aversion to the red fruit, she reluctantly took a bite of the juicy tomato.

The farmers market showcased a vibrant array of produce, including a plump heirloom tomato.

His favorite sandwich was a simple yet satisfying combination of fresh basil, mozzarella, and a ripe tomato.

I tried the quote, and unlike the above, it did fail, although at least not by half, so slight improvement?

Me: Please give me three different quotes, any subject you feel like, each one being exactly ten English words long.

ChatGPT:
"The best way to predict the future is to create it." - Peter Drucker

"To succeed in life, you need two things: ignorance and confidence." - Mark Twain

"The greatest wealth is to live content with little." - Plato

[edit] I found a prompt that works! I asked it to count spaces, not words:

Me: Still not there. Perhaps you are having trouble because of how you tokenize input. Try counting the number of spaces between the words- there should be exactly 9 spaces. Does that help? Keep that in mind, and try again.

ChatGPT:
Thank you for your patience. Here are three quotes with exactly ten words, considering 9 spaces between words:

"Success is not final; failure is not fatal; it's courage."

"Believe you can, and most of the battle is won."

"Be the change you wish to see in the world."

Could anyone frame -- in fairly plain words -- what would be the mechanism by which LLMs become generally "smarter than humans" in the "and humans can't control them" sense?

Has there been some advance in self-learning or self-training? Is there some way to make them independent of human data and human curation of said data? And so on.
Nuclear plants can load follow just fine. They just prefer not to as the capital costs and not fuel is biggest factor. So might as well keep producing power if the grid stability accepts it.

That would still result in tbtf banks since smaller banks will find it harder to comply with onerous regulations. I'm talking about community banks and the like, which don't really do the fancy investment banking stuff.

Obviously, but either you need to do a gov ID lookup (which, is it even possible/scalable/feasible JSUT for age checks?) or need to keep the ID proofs for an audit. I've only really seen ID checks for financial apps/services where proof of exact identity is required, not of age.
That's a nice vision, but still less absurd than some of the actual listings I've seen, like "Sale! 10 studio apartments!" - you have to buy the whole thing.

I'm in the market for an apartment and some of the best spots are already taken by such housing, while families are pushed to the suburbs.

> Newer systems don't even need a license plate, they learn the overall appearance of the car.

I'm probably missing some context, but what do you mean by this? If you take two cars that are the same model/year/colour, how do you differentiate between them on the basis of appearance?
How about if doctors were required to work for larger entities with deep pockets (e.g. HMOs, hospitals, the private partnerships backing plastic surgeries, etc), and we could easily sue those?

Or we could just cut out a step, and have those entities put a warranty on the treatments doctors working for them provide. Not satisfied with a treatment? "Return it" and get your money back!
As someone (like many of us) who had phones pre-smartphone, it's pretty obvious to me that switching location services off was only to prevent apps from doing so.

Your carrier has in my mind, always been able to determine your location. We had movies doing triangulation based on phone calls to catch criminals.

The guy who wrote the article was 21, so it's not a stretch to think they only grew up in the smartphone world and didn't have that base understanding.
I've never seen a separate plate for bike racks. Technically in many US states, a bike rack could get you pulled over for having a blocked plate but in practice police don't enforce that. The assumption is the front plant is enough but then not all states require a front plate.

The license plate and registration laws in the US are very fragmented. Some states out the registration on the license plate, some on the front or side window, and some are moving to digital only registration.

Essentially with almost no work, you can make proving you don't have a validate plate or registration difficult. You can just print a fake temp tag (paper license plate dealerships use) for a state like Texas but drive around in any other state since they have no way of knowing it's a fake temp/dealer plate.
Does anyone know whether there’s an intelligence test along the lines of: leave the subjects alone for a while with little to no supervision, and see what they come up with. My gut feeling is that ChatGPT would be stuck in some weird nonsensical loop, whereas humans would often come up with something other humans think is interesting and/or novel.
People turn to drugs because they are addictive. Once you start, it's hard to stop, and it can easily lead to drug abuse. Drug abuse and the lifestyle that it leads to will exacerbate mental illness.

The issue is that the US half-asses its drug enforcement policies. Everything is a leaky sieve full of inefficiency. They have a mostly unprotected border with Mexico, that they're too scared to lock down for political reasons. They have drug dealers that they won't arrest, or put in a revolving door policy, because they're afraid of being called evil by the privileged members of NGOs and academia. Investigating, arresting and putting on trial criminals is extremely expensive and inefficient because there's 50 million legal checks to deal with.

Look at Singapore for an example of how an all-out war against drugs can be effective, and produce a safe society. 98% of the citizens of Singapore support those policies because they have some of the safest streets in the world. Their children can safely be out at any time. Why should they let the criminal 0.5% of the population keep them terrified like in America? It should be the other way around. They get criticized by westerners for their use of the death penalty for drug dealers, such as in this short clip with visionary Singaporean PM Lee Kwan Yew https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-PXAOZwvv04, who handles it admirably.

The US is violent and dangerous because it tries to give as much freedom as possible to its citizens, and protect their constitutional rights to a high degree, even when this comes at a high expense for the rest of society. I am not saying I want this to change, I like diversity of thought and government, and there's something endearing about how different the average American is compared to other nations. This diversity of thought allows us to learn lessons about the effect of policies and culture. For example this is why I like the USA's 2nd amendment and wish to see it protected, even though I wouldn't want everyone to be armed in my country.
It's not all bad however, I can imagine the task focused modality and gestural language could be useful if translated into a productivity app, something like Jira or Notion, but decluttered.

The numbers are all over the place. The white-collar offenses include things like credit card theft, money laundering and counterfeiting, all things that also exist in street crime. It also include intellectual property theft/piracy, and at that point we can basically just make up any number we want.

Another strange aspect to those numbers is when I look up the cost of crime in general. Most of the total numbers I find cites trillions. Remove street crime and white-collar crime, and there is trillions still left unaccounted for.

There is also a lot of uncertainty in how they determine the number for white-collar crime. Looking at studies there are multiple angles, with one study splitting it into:

Victim costs
Criminal justice system costs
Crime career costs (criminal’s choice to engage in illegal rather than legal)
Intangible costs (Indirect losses suffered by crime victims)

Based on that it is very difficult to compare a crime like insider trading with assault, since how you determine each of those categories is going to significant change the numbers. Drug crime for example has very high or very low cost to society depending on how one count, primarily because criminal justice system costs and crime career costs are both high while the others are fairly low or non-existent (depending on political views).

Ask HN: Can you relate to the following issues? How did you deal with it?
1. Mental exhaustion and burnout.

2. Existential crisis - What am I living for?

3. Getting lost in a noisy world - Age of fake influencers creating hype cycles and FOMO. Invoking self doubt and questioning your career path.

4. Dopamine Overload - Unable to take pleasure from simple things in life. A need to find more extravagant pleasures.

5. Intolerance - Getting angry/emotional from events and people around. Unable to direct love on people.
Did you learn anything in the process? You'd still have to over the output and understand it, otherwise nothing has changed except the method of producing something you don't understand.

You don't want to spend vacations vacations with your family? This soviet system in it's heyday was damn close to that. Especially when, for a short time, „7 workdays week“ was implemented where people worked 6 days, but the day off was on different day to keep factories running 7 days. So you may not have a day with your spouse for years :D
Since the feature has been implemented can you point to a single case in which Microsoft "got it wrong?" I'll even be generous and include the entire year prior to java's chat signing in which the feature existed on bedrock.

Spoiler: you can't because that scenario doesn't exist. It's a FUD bandwagon argument, nothing more.
You've edited your doc. It's ready to go. So you fire up a browser, connect to gmail.com, click Compose, click on the Attach button, navigate through a file browser to select the file you want to send, remember that you didn't save it, so you go back to Word, click file save, tab to the browser, tab back to Word because you don't remember the path, do File Save As... so you can copy the path, and paste it into the browse dialog when you tab back, which you do. If you're lucky, you won't have to go mining in the Drafts folder for your email-to-be which still doesn't have anything in it. And then you enter the subject, and finally the addresses, which mercifully auto-completes (maybe the one thing done right so far -- semi-intelligent integration with your contacts). And click the Send button.

vs.

You edit your document. You click the Send shortcut in the place where the toolbar (or even worse, the ribbon bar) used to be. The title and the addresses have been filled in, because AI, which is smart enough to know that the title of the email will be the title of the document. You type in the covering text, most of which auto-completes: "Please find attached, the blah blah blah for Q1." And click the "Fly, fly, little email" icon.

Verbs not apps. I definitely get the problem that's being chased here.

An even more interesting study would be to see how one could extend the paradigm to the Monster apps we live in, like word processors, code editors, 3d modelling packages, not just the apps that should really be completely invisible (like email, SMS, &c). Maybe a hamburger icon under which a complete menu system (and tedious trivialities like File As... live. (I don't think we can get rid of Filing. But File really should be a verb).

It would be interesting to see how far context-sensitive shortcuts could toward covering the functionality of a Monster app. Select text, see formatting shortcuts. Select a rectangle, see fill and outline shortcuts, select a picture, see retouching, filtering, and cropping shortcuts. The context-free UI was a nice ideal back in 1984, but it hasn't really panned out.
Both and none at the same time.

Both contribute to overall performance.

None are directly related to solving it in general.

You can't solve it in general because you can't have answer to arbitrarily complex question with a single pass on limited data.

However I do think that current methods are extremely inefficient. There is a lot of nonsense, noise and duplication in training data. It can be compressed to be orders of magnitude smaller. Imagine having dense, close to optimal way to kick off learning with logic, reasoning, things like set theory, category theory etc. so it is later reused when learning ie. programming language - where learning programming language is also efficient, based on cleaned up specification, standard library learned from code of standard library itself, possibly access to compiler/interpreter for feedback. I mean quality of data slider pushed to the limit.

But this single pass, void of inner dialogue approach will always require articulating steps, no matter how good it is quality wise.
