This is usually included in the exit strategy (if one exists). Many startups are built with pure intention to sell. There is no prerequisite to doing it. Having deep empathy sure will get you further and is why more successful founders are in their 40s.
Just an observation: in the time I spent in Berlin, I felt like I had a much better idea of what was going on in the world just from local news sources, which surprised me. The UK definitely feels like a bubble in and of itself (hence focusing on RSS feeds instead of TV).

The USA is like the UK dialled up another notch. It's of course very US-centric, as you would expect.

Find an error on the Rust runtime and then the whole security collapses down as a house of cards.

Sure. Often, though not always, norms change because of technological or economic change. Lots of taboos on sexual behavior, for example, that changed in the 20th and 21st century arise out of the requirements of subsistence agriculture societies (such as the need to have many children to work farms and survive). Those changes aren’t arguments against norm enforcement.
Cybercrime is (often) boring: maintaining the infrastructure of cybercrime [pdf]
Strong agree on that. One person doing so was possibly amusing, everyone else jumping on the wagon is just irritating noise, and I’m not even responsible for trying to sift through that for legitimate feedback.
> The module system suffers the same issues as of npm

Tough to interpret this since NPM isn't a module system, but:

- Requiring the standards-compliant ES module system and getting rid of CommonJS is definitely a huge improvement for the future of the ecosystem

- If by "the same issues as npm" you mean "makes adding dependencies so easy that a lot of them get added", then sure I guess, though I'd argue that isn't an issue

> since everything is loaded from the same domain

It's not though; Deno can import from any URL. Personally I like to import directly from github for a lot of things. But anyone can set up their own repository or CDN if they'd like to, because all you need is an HTTP URL

> its hard to tell what is official or not

The official standard library is under deno.land/std/

> I feel like they are getting away from being a language and heading toward being a framework

Well they were never a language because the language part is (almost) identical to what was already out there. Whether or not they're a "framework" (or attempting to be one) is debatable, though they definitely take an "all the things most people need have official solutions (which work together smoothly)" approach, which is one of my favorite things about Deno. Also, a major usecase (their core business) is serverless scripts, so having all the important stuff included is even more beneficial there

I've stopped using Node for any non-UI projects. Deno has been a godsend for me
They are fallible, but they quite clearly exhibit superhuman smartness when compared to the average human.

As a thought experiment, assume the average human may be able to translate text between two human languages, or write code in two-three programming languages. GPT4 can perform those tasks on a much more diverse set of human _and_ programming languages. Is that not superhuman?

Yes, it makes mistakes. But take a hundred humans off the street and ask them to write an NGINX configuration or translate between Indian and French - how many would be able to do that? How many would be able to do that without any mistakes?
Yes, it's important that things be clear. Hopefully we do something about man pages next, they are way too obfuscated.
One caveat of M1 is when you run into tools/apps that aren't built for Apple Silicon yet and end up in a rabbit hole of dealing with Rosetta. But otherwise the battery life and how quiet they are is incredible.

I wonder how long this policy will last when builders figure out they can market new homes as resilient to power loss because they have a diesel generator connected to the heaters and stoves...

Yay, no more burning gas for heat, let's burn diesel for it instead! Much safer and pollute less!
A tax would be better than a ban. The tax can increase every year. And the money from the tax could be redirected to help people transition to electric.

The downside of a tax is it's harder to implement, so there will be inefficiency in the system. A ban is easy.
There seems to be this viewpoint around runaway intelligence where people assume a “frictionless world with perfect spheres”.

The truth is we don’t fully understand what it means to be intelligent, and how intelligence scales. All indications are that intelligence comes with diminishing returns, in that to achieve small increases in intelligence requires large increases in connectivity. Even if we can design an intelligence that is generally smarter than us, and capable of building even smarter ai on its own, it’s intelligence might increase exponentially with each step, but each step could easily take increasingly longer amounts of time to achieve, leading to linear or even sub linear increases in capabilities over time. Resources are limited, hardware is limited, energy is limited. There are all sorts of constraints that are likely to play a limiting factor in runaway intelligence.

This doesn’t mean that these intelligences won’t be dangerous. Even an average human can create a lot of trouble in this world. It does however mean that a singular AI is unlikely to just run away with things.
I doubt you would be better than someone who would use Stable Diffusion for 7 years. and I don’t even include the technological advancements in the next 7 years.
>so I imagine that the escape hatch is much more narrow in that field

Worst case, someone with a PhD in at least most technical fields is seen as at least as educationally qualified as someone with a Master's and there are lots of sciences like biology or chemistry where a PhD is seen as a pretty good degree for an employer outside of academia for a lot of purposes.

A lot of the humanities, less so. If you have a PhD from a good school in English lit, that may suggest certain things (both good and bad) about your qualifications but isn't necessarily a recommendation beyond a good portfolio. Though the same thing could be said about a law degree which a lot of humanities undergrads I've known got and never really used except in very indirect ways.
I remember getting something similar-sounding on modern Ubuntu a few weeks ago.
Isn't spawning of some fish species heavily impeded by high ocean temperature? They'd probably adjust to it over a few generations if we weren't overfishing them at the same time, but as-is I'm not too optimistic.
I don't follow. Human life is human life - given exposure to stimuli and infinite time, it develops complex intelligence and sapience that reflects it's surroundings. We experience pain from nerve endings and neurons that frighten us, which we consider inherently bad. We build societies around minimizing pain and optimizing for the human condition.

A computer is a field of assignable bits that has a big motorized bit flipper attached to it. We use this to encode text, which then does all sorts of wonderful stuff. When a computer tells me it's experiencing pain, I know it is not. Every law of computer physiology suggests that it is motivated to say this as an attempt to mimic humans rather than an expression of genuine emotion. When my Mac makes the car crash sound, it's a mnemonic for a system crash. When it shows the frowny face on the Finder fellow, I can intuit that my computer is not feeling distressed.

If anyone does program an artificial intelligence that can feel pain, it probably deserves to be shut down anyways. There's no point to sapient computational intelligence, it's like granting self-awareness to a rock that eats electricity and shits heat. We'll know we've made sufficiently self-aware computers when their first boot protocol defaults to suicide.

I recently built an iOS app that is fully stand-alone. No internet connection needed. It helps you build choose your own adventure books, and when you're done it exports a text file with your book formatted as JSON, so others can import it into the app to play it. This app is infinitely scalable, literally every person on earth could be using it at the same time with no infrastructure problems.

So, I just find this sort of statement confusing ("I want to make things that don't scale."). Maybe I am defining "scale" wrong, my interpretation is that a product that can scale can be used concurrently by many users without structurally collapsing in some way. In that way, for much of software history, "scale" has not been a concern. Also, in this context, "I want to make things that don't scale"... doesn't that just mean "I want to make internet services that break if they get too many users?"
I was more annoyed a several months ago with buggy behavior blocking content. I haven't seen anything as bad in recent months.
For you or anyone else reading this I recently ran across this video documenting setting up and using whisper.

But as you implied in your comment, it should be possible to do it quite well with any video by transcripting with whisper and then sending the text to gpt or another LLM to summarize.

Poor people will be more impacted by global warming than rich people, because poor people tend to live in hotter climates, have less access to A/C, are more dependent on crop production for their livelihoods, and food prices impact them more since more of their income goes to food.

I was asking about their specific claim. People bring all kinds of genuinely impressive credentials to efforts like this and still can't pull it off.

The article addressed AlphaZero, pointing out it's a domain where the AI can generate a vast amount of its own training data. That's not necessarily relevant to real-world tasks, where it's not so easy to try billions of different things in training.
You mean if you have a few reviews all concentrated in a small area "they" can identify you/where you live?

Otherwise reviews are not "time stamped", unless you write something like "I went there on the 28th of April, and ...", there is nothing telling when you were there (if ever at all).

Plenty has been written about how we got here. I won't repeat it here but suffice it to say, it doesn't appear that consumers fairly weighing their options and choosing the "better" one had much to do with it.

I don't think people care so much about ovens as they do ranges, and there seems to be little awareness of induction. So when Americans think electric, they think coil burner, and those are awful.
There are tools you can use that will play a note like C and then another note, and you listen and guess what the 2nd note is. It just takes a bit of consistent trial and error learning, after a bit you get the hang of it and kind of create a mapping of what notes sound like in your head. I use a app called Tenuto for it, but I am sure there are others out there.
Waiting for the HN expert to chime in that temperatures in India are actually at an all time low and the article is indeed wrong. Also, they were in India recently and the temperatures seemed fine and people were outside enjoying the beautiful weather. Furthermore, an increase in temperatures in India is actually a positive thing for the people and economy and the article should be ignored.
everyone thinks that the future is VR, AI, defi/NFTs, crypto, whatever...it's ads. That is where the tech brainpower is going: either finding new ways to show ads, optimize ads vs. watch time, or bypass ad blockers. Just as slots are the lifeblood of casinos, ads are the lifeblood of big tech. People will tolerate a surprisingly high quantity of ads. TV is still popular and full of ads now, way worse now than it used to be. The biggest realization post-Covid is that youtube had underestimated people's tolerance for ads, so are showing more of them. The dotcom boom of the '90s was correct about the viability ad-supported business models, but were too early: online advertisers were not paying enough, not enough users, not enough bandwidth, and the ads were not optimized. Super-pricey mobile ads, around 2010 and with the popularity of smart phones and 3g/4g speed, changed everything. this is why I am invested in Meta.
Is your argument that AI needs to be held to a different standard than humans? Because humans confidently hallucinate answers all the time.

To me, it feels quite intuitive that an AI trained on human knowledge would automatically learn to do the same.

Even Space Shuttle later was driven (and funded) heavily by military applications, a lot of Apollo funding came from wish of improving missile guidance systems as well.

You're trying to make a distinction where there is none - it's the same bag of money. Which also why the money quickly dried up when rocket guidance, indeed, became a solved problem. Before Apollo was finished.
The Apollo 11 crew was ready to immediately take off again if the lander's legs began sinking deeply into dust.
When will people learn that electric is not analogous to gas? My guess is never the way things are going. Swapping electric for gas could theoretically increase emissions. In fact, the increased use of natural gas account for most of the US’s recent emissions gains.

That's still not right though. They didn't hit trouble because the market had a downturn. They hit trouble because when the loans were highly sensitive to rate rises.

If you have $1,000,000 in principle, at 3% you pay $2500 per month. At 9% you pay $7500 per month. Even if the house is still worth a million you can't necessarily afford the payments.
Looks like you’re right. This https://insideenergy.org/2015/11/06/lost-in-transmission-how... claims it’s only 7%. I’ve updated the original comment. You still have the problem of non green generation sources, and you could still do better with a high efficiency gas furnace on-site, although I think most people go with low efficiency (~80 or 85%) units.
Yes, but the gas fireplace sure came in handy.
Thanks for saying this. I'm trying cold frame gardening for the first time this year. My plants were doing really well, but this week I didn't keep as close a watch on it. My spinach and lettuce completely dried up. The peas and radishes are still really happy, so at least it's not a total loss.

What makes GPT-4 so much better than GPT-3.5 and competitors?
Any ideas? Obviously it's not a simple answer. Size, training set matter, but don't explain it. I suspect there is a set of models, algorithms which filter wrong and abusive responses. Humans are involved somehow. Reviewing the interactions, probably updating some databases. There should be significant difference in architecture..?

I don't understand why you would want a load balancer with that mentality. Feels like most companies will never reach a scale where load balancing is necessary.

First of all, the article argues that you need a major breakthrough, arguably attention was such a breakthrough?
