I strongly suspect crote wrote "email" intending "mail". Particularly as little email carries stamps or requires sorting by a post office.

I've nearly done the same several times in this thread myself. "Mail" really doesn't roll off my fingertips so readily these days.
This technique works fine if you're creating new iterations of creative work, or have a specific thing you want it to fix

It's not much use if ChatGPT gives you a diagnosis of your symptoms which may or may not be accurate.
Even with cherry pickings it’s still amazing a digital ‘plant’ was invented that has any cherries at all.
The earliest reference to the four canonical gospel comes from Irenaeus, who also references the at that time decades old Gospel of Marcion. The early church is not a reliable source about this, because it's strongly against Marcion.
In The Netherlands, if you want your iodine dosage, all you need to do is eat bread once a day (I don't know if it counts for all bread like gluten-free). Because it is fortified with iodine. Other countries solve it differently, but you don't have to normally make up for it in The Netherlands.
You are right, but I only use it for hacking. It's amazing how many people freak out when you say you have it as the main boot OS on a laptop. I have been programming since 1978 (Commodore PET 2001), and started hacking back in 1987 in terms of networking, phones, etc.
As I wrote above, my work and personal computers are Windows and Mac and another Debian box.
Another thought: it would be interesting to know if it's a fundamental problem (full tenure track for every researcher/teacher needed cannot be financed at all in the current system), or if the number would work out if the funding for all the administrative bloat was shifted to teaching/research.

I suspect the fundamental truth of PhD production far exceeding job market in the academia won't go away though.
Probably code for the servers of a big-ish commercial online game. I haven't logged on and played that game myself for like a decade.

Next up would be random ETL scheduled processes in back-offices.
> Install apks ..
on things like chromecasts

Once an apk is on a Chromecast, how does one launch it? I've loaded APKs onto a Fire Stick, but that OS actually has a launcher. For a Chromecast, would I be limited to launching via adb and apps that launch themselves by being cast to? That would still be useful, like for example SmartTubeNext is one of the apps I put on my Fire Stick (highly recommended) and in addition to launching via the GUI, it auto-launches when cast to. Would be great to move it to the Chromecast because it's the only reason I have a Fire Stick...
On the server side what do you use? Is it custom code to essentially reimplement the usual RPC patterns and multiplexing, etc?

Or are you using something like trpc?[0]

Another thing I’ve also thought is that Content-Type plus the appropriate headers could easily open up using compressed/efficient binary serialization on the web as well and unlock even further gains.

One thing though is the issues with how websockets complicate scaling horizontally for simple request handling.

We would still be plunging into some very thorny problems if it turns out Einstein-level IQ comes with full sapience and demands for rights.
I'm pretty sure there literally isn't enough money held by rich people to have the effect that you want.

The top 1% own about 25% of assets in the US, and of that the vast majority are likely illiquid and non-cash. If you assume that the top 1% hypothetically hold 10% of the cash, then draining their cash accounts to 0 and burning it would be equivalent (not counting money velocity) to everyone else taking a 10% haircut. If you attempt to account for the velocity of money, that would likely only be a small single-digit percentage. The CPI is higher than that, and many lower- and middle-class families are seeing a much bigger loss in purchasing power thanks to increases in the prices of food, fuel, and housing.

Moreover, the last 2 years have been an experiment in exactly what you are proposing - using monetary policy to control inflation while using fiscal policy to attempt to prevent it from hitting most people. It has not worked, and it will not work in the future. In fact, the policy has had the opposite effect that you probably want: real wealth is increasingly concentrated in the hands of the wealthy, and inflation is largely concentrated in products purchased by the poor.
I do that with two tablets and a laptop. On the notebook I run some vnc server with an X built-in, then some x or vnc tool that links the different X instances running as if they are other monitors, so you only have to move your mouse to some lateral to get focus on the other X. Then on the tablets just use some generic VNC client.

There are multiple options for ever one of the three programs os this setup, but it takes some work to make all run well together. I can check the exact binaries that I'm using or send the scripts, if there's someone interested.

Edit: to make it work well enough with wifi, I had to make some tricks to deal with the tablet's wifi powersave behavior. On usb it works perfectly though.
I tried phind after seeing it linked here a few times. It felt like it was a slower Google search with extra steps. The sources it used for the answers were the sources I would have found by searching "site:stackoverflow.com [my question]".

Beginning of 2022: "Deep learning has hit its limits, we are an entering an AI winter!"

Beginning of 2023: "GPT4 appears to demonstrate the ability to reason within certain constrained problem spaces."

There is no human being on this planet that actually understands how general intelligence fundamentally works. It's incredible to see people so confidently setting concrete timelines on its rate of development.
We have only our history, where we dominated and decimated other close species (Homo Neanderthals) thanks to our intelligence, and literally caused the next extinction event on this planet where >95% of all species already disappeared.

On top of that, think about how we treat animals where we have billions of intelligent animals (cows, pigs) that we breed to butcher and eat. Just because they are tasty, and we tell ourselves they are less worthy because of their lesser intelligence and consciousness.

I sure hope that AI doesn't behave like us. I have no idea what will happen and what the odds are, but I do think it's the most dangerous experiment we have ever run.
Wonderful!

I built something similar for NFL, it scrapes NFL stats websites (very few public APIs available afaik) and gives a 'fun index' for each game from the previous week.

I then obtain that game from a dodgy website and am able to watch it without any spoilers, but safe in the knowledge that it will definitely be a good game.

It was my first ever programming project and helped me learn Python, the code is complete shite but it works.

I'm not sure you understand the point of Deno if you say that the Node ecosystem does something strange so Deno should do it, too... Magic file resolution was one of the regrets explicitly mentioned in Ryan's first talk introducing Deno.
My guess is they probably didn't rely solely on this report, but confronted her with the report and she probably confessed and gave some excuse for it instead of saying "the report is wrong, call those other companies if you don't believe me".

Or maybe they actually did call those other companies and got verification from them.
But if you do learn, you can then render photorealistic image with nothing but pencil and paper instead of being reliant on a beefy computer running a blackbox model trained at enormous cost :)

SD will never compare to the power of pencil and paper imo. Drawing is an essential skill for any visual artist not just for mechanics but for developing style, taste, and true understanding of the world around you visually.

I recommend Freehand Figure Drawing for Illustrators as a good starting point (along with some beginner art lessons). It won't take 1k hours before you see results. It's also fun!
That wasn’t the point.
It's perfectly fine if it's approaching a Clever Hans type situation as long as it's producing sufficient quality output fast enough that it's producing it faster than I can do manually.

There are many categories of usage for them, and relatively "dumb" completion and boilerplate is still hugely helpful. In fact, probably 3/4 of my use of ChatGPT are uses where I have a pretty good idea what it'll output for a given input and that is why I'm using it, because it saves me writing and adjusting boilerplate that it can produce faster. Most of the time I don't want it to be smart, I want it to reliably do almost the same as it it's done for me before, but adjusted to context in a predictable way (the reason I'll reach for it over e.g. copying something and adapting it manually).

We use far dumber agents all the time and still derive benefits from it. Sure it'd be nice if it gets smarter, but it's already saving me a tremendous amount of time.
They don't - from Wikipedia:

Posts on the platform have informally been called 'skeets' (a portmanteau of 'sky' and 'tweet'), despite Bluesky CEO Jay Graber pleading with users not to call them that.
Because French culture and English culture also gets overburdened by American brands such as McDonald's and Coca Cola.

I like the example of the American pizza. Its not even crunchy, its more dough than anything else. Its pizza with topping, instead of the other way around.
It hallucinates a lot. Any time statistics or specifications are involved, don't trust it whatsoever.
Ilachinski's book cites Wolfram's 1980s article as a pivotal moment on top of the previous history with CA, but he goes into everything - complexity, CA, neural networks, genetic algorithms, etc. It is an amazing book, and I thoroughly enjoy his exposition and breadth of knowledge. I started with neural networks and evolutionary computing back in the late 80s. His book is a great survey book with great detail too.

The Artificial War book is pretty cool. I was into war games (board games back in the 80s), and his multi-agent approach was unique at the time and is fun to play with.
Ask HN: Why does Reddit force you login to disable auto play?
Reddit does not have an option to disable auto play on reddit.com

Is this a new feature?
The first project I worked on as a solo backend dev is still in production. God knows how we won that tender. I was a 20-year-old clueless university dropout that definitely shouldn’t have been trusted, working for a boutique agency operating out of a converted barn out the back of some house.

It is a scheduling system for a department at a major public hospital in the area.

It’s still one of the projects I’m happiest with. Despite subsequent developers making a bit of a mess of it, it is a nice piece of software. And, compared to the rest of the stuff in health system, is it a shining beacon of hope for generations to come.

As I’ve progressed and started working for some bigger companies, I’m incredibly impressed by what we all, myself included, did with so little.
"There is a great science fiction book (forgot the name!) where everyone forgot how things worked (and didn’t need to know!) because machines did all the work. It created this dystopia where people where immensely shallow and immature because all things just happened for them."

Are you sure, that wasn't just a ordinary newspaper? At least I get that feeling quite often.
What is the risk of Santa going rogue and committing violent crimes instead of delivering presents? Given that Santa has supernatural powers, if he were to be misaligned he could cause untold damage. Yes, it hasn't happened before but absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
Killing larrabee was the right move. That project was a joke architecturally - they got absolutely nothing right. Wrong problem, wrong solution, wrong time, poorly executed.
much of what you're suggesting can be done with a tiling WM. In Xmonad, I do something similar with a concept they label "workspaces", in that a given workspace has an accreting collection of features which can be summoned and set aside as a unit. The intermediate unit is a tile, and tiles can be hierarchically composed.
Well - the probability is 100% that we'll be hit by one of those asteroids, we just don't know when. When looking at the past data, for these kinds of events, I believe we are "overdue", in the sense that on average we should have had one in the last 150 years I believe.

So working on a solution to this problem makes sense - even if we spend billions solving this issue, it's not lost, because at a point it will be needed.

As for AI becoming an issue, it's a sci-fi idea, nothing more. It's much to vague - how is it reliably becoming dangerous? What are we actually looking for as signs of danger?
How well do these books strike a balance between feeding you the code and forcing you to think for yourself before implementing the code?
That's the neat part about this. Need a Linuxy ARM SBC to run python, or a tiny web server, or home automation hub or something like that but Raspberry PIs are unavailable or overpriced in your area and alternative products are too sketchy and unsupported? No problemo.

Just get an old Android flagship off the second hand market that can be had dirt cheap, flash some FOSS de-Googled ROM on it, and use that instead. You now have the power of Linux and Android ecosystems for much less than a Pi and it comes with a display and battery! Need GPIO too? You can connect an external GPIO board via USB-OTG to the phone and control that via Python just like with a Raspberry PI.
I have gone the other way. Used to be a hardcore C#/.NET Framework dev on Windows and I still occasionally use Windows 11. However, since the advent of containers and dotnet core I've been doing lots of devops work. WSL2 is annoyingly slow and has its quirks vs a normal Linux. Docker Desktop with WSL2 backend is slow too. PowerShell is cross-platform so one can use it on Linux just fine.
> Things like the Bitcoin Cash fork & DAO fork arguably set the precedent that the developers control the funds.

The DAO fork is a good example, but the Bitcoin Cash fork is not a good example as the developers did nothing with any of the funds. That was just a normal fork that created a new cryptocurrency.

Maybe you're thinking of Craig Wright's own Bictoin fork, Bitcoin SV?

> If you have established you will change the blockchain through a compelling, non-technical argument; and if _nobody_ presents the keys; but if you have the best compelling argument, they _probably_ belong to you.

Just un-necessary pollutes the drop-down list in auto-completes when someone is coding stuff that has nothing to do with encodings. There is a reason for categorization and this change breaks it.
Specify the work that you know it excels at first-hand, then list projects/tasks you have completed using it.

How do you know if they don't? Do you expect them to report back to a throwaway comment on HN? The sentiment is shifting on HN, that much is clear, just like it shifted with crypto.

Do you know if the subreddit does anything to address that?
I have built a Discord bot that greets me every morning and sends me a list of tasks to do on that day because I'm more comfortable with a single friendly message than a pile of calendar notifications.

I still use calendar and reminder apps for one-off and time-sensitive tasks, but for recurring tasks, especially those with complex timing, the crontab syntax integrated into the bot is more powerful and easier to maintain.
This is on the top 5 list of my favorite android apps, every time such question comes up in a forum. I complement such with what I install under it (e.g. nmap, wget, curl, dns tools, various network utilities, whois, openssh, etc.)
My argument is that they were "bailed out" to the tune of 20% or so. And really only if they insisted on pulling their money out immediately. Not "everything over the insurance number." (Which, for many of these was 0. They were completely uninsured, is my understanding.)

Per reporting I can easily find (in that I'm not searching too hard on this), they had 167 billion in assets, and about 119 in deposits. Per the reporting, the sale that was managed by the FDIC sold off part of those assets for 72 billion, at a reported discount of 16.5 billion. About 20%. Now, granted, it is possible that the other 90 billion of assets are somehow way worse, but I have not heard further panic on those?

But, just going by those numbers there was clearly never any risk that depositors lost everything over 250k. Which is how this is largely getting reported.
Some people (including me) actually do think this is exactly what the USA should do.

I think people think printing money causes inflation, and in general “know” that you shouldn’t “spend more than you make”… but I think things are different when you can print money.

It would actually be a very efficient means of fund raising (vs the current tax code), as well as fighting income inequality (the basic income), and even if it did cause inflation, that’s basically just a very efficient progressive wealth tax (when coupled with a universal basic income).

there's definitely an art to asking the questions, likely because of subtle differences in how a lot of people communicate in writing.

NLP can recognize alt accounts of individuals on places like HN and reddit, but a person would probably need to study the comments pretty hard to determine the same thing, its not natural for people imo but it seems to be the foremost aspect of any kind of model that's processing human writing.
It may not be that simple, especially in regions where there isn't anything resembling a free market in the health care sector.

Canada's various provincial public health care systems (with a corresponding lack of private health care offerings) tend to be like that.

Many Canadians don't have a dedicated physician. Even if they want one (or want a new one), it's often difficult, if not impossible, to find one who's close by and who's accepting new patients.

Having a dedicated physician still often results in an experience much like that other commenter described. It's not an exaggeration. Long waits even with appointments, rushed examinations, and low-quality service are the norm.

Another option, which is sometimes used even by people who have dedicated physicians, is a walk-in clinic. Unfortunately, they can be quite rare and inconvenient to get to, even in Canada's largest cities, assuming they're even open when you need them. You'll usually face an even longer wait, even less time with the doctor, and typically see a different doctor if any sort of followup is needed.

Then there are hospital emergency rooms. That usually means getting to the nearest sizable city, and even once you're there, you've got to be prepared to wait many hours, even for relatively serious situations.

Ultimately, in Canada, it doesn't matter whether you see your family doctor (if you even have one), use a walk-in clinic, or go to a hospital emergency room. It's going to be a horrible experience, and there's pretty much nothing the average person can do about it.

Given the lack of competition and due to other government-imposed market distortions, there's no incentive for doctors to offer anything resembling good service to the general public.

The best situation is to have a doctor who's a close friend or family member, and who may be able to help mitigate at least some of the typical problems.

The next best option for Canadians, assuming they have the money for it, is often to seek treatment in the US or overseas.

Just "finding a new doctor" isn't feasible, unfortunately.
Given how much it hallucinates, that's one very scary echo chamber to be in where you trust info reinterpreted by an algorithm instead of just reading it yourself. Yikes.

Do you have any basis for that claim?
Nah. Someone will definitely read it ,)
There are billions of people living in situations between the poorest parts of the EU (yet still in better circumstances than the majority of the world) and war-torn starvation in Sudan, and things like this are for them. Plenty of people who can’t afford satellite internet can read just fine.

And I, a well-off tech worker in urban Germany, use the project as part of my own emergency communications prep. Internet outages are possible even for rich Europeans and Americans, and we’re awfully dependent on being able to look stuff up.

As a developer I hoard many links and also would like to get notifications on different tasks being finished (script/RSS/IoT) so I've built a chat web app for myself where you can create a channel for each specific notification or links to read later.

The web app is a PWA so I can install it on my Android Mac and PC via Chrome browser without app/play store and access from anywhere.

I took it further by adding Webhoom API for the notification and a Chrome extension to share links from my browser to the channels.

People liked it (didn't try to market so much) but they wanted encryption so I have added end to end encryption as well.

I'm currently working on (on my spare time) big files support up to 4GB from any browser including live preview and video streaming for well known file types.
