You can downvote me but I think OP hasn't learned how to learn yet. If OP reads Wikipedia by understanding every sentence and clicking on every link, that's deliberately sabotaging his own learning. Attitudes like "I don't really feel like spelunking through a ton more articles" simply shows OP isn't interested in learning per se, just quick answers.

OP learns in a way that's very child-like. When you are a five-year-old it's okay to learn by asking everything. That stops being acceptable by the age of fifteen. OP hasn't learned any research skills yet, and when OP's needs inevitably exhausts the ability of LLMs, OP would be utterly unable to read an encyclopedia or a research paper or perhaps a textbook.
GIMP's name is great. Had it chosen any other, it would not have stuck in my mind for almost twenty years. The "Ummm akshyually GIMP is an evil slur" crowd is the same as the "Blacklist LITERALLY murders blacks with racism" crowd, so I see very little reason to take it seriously.
That's all caused by bad politics, not by capitalism.
I’d never heard of the effect, but fell for it anyway because “-stain” is so unusual.

GP claimed the decline was in absolute terms, not just percentage of population. On that note though, WW2 killed 3% of the world population in the span of 6 years.
Please explain what you mean.

My example assumed for the sake of simplicity that people starting bitcoin mining in A would drive up hash rate and thus difficulty enough to make mining unprofitable on the margin in some place B.

The electricity used for mining in B before can now either be used for something else, or the people in B can produce less electricity and save on resources.
Or they could put the money in stocks or gold or other assets.

But note "assets" and "savings accounts" are not the same thing, and confusing the two is pretty bad.
Thank you for the clear write up. This is very helpful for my understanding

Aphex twin did something similar, but this is more playful in my opinion.
Thanks for sharing this.
In terms of UX, I like that there is a long list of output languages. For UI, as a user it'd be easier to use if the Example Text field was allowed to expand. For instance, let's say I have a block of text and I want to extract a series of specific outputs. The easiest way to specify that would be to dump a block of text containing all the outputs of interest, in all the contexts they appear, and then provide a list (or array) of output values under Expected Results. This way I'd receive a robust regex pattern, one that includes all variants I'm interested in capturing.
under the free medicare are you able to go see a different doc for the same thing just to get a second opinion? Is it much hassle/paperwork to get approved?

Completely agree. ChatGPT can be an incredible tool for getting a lay of the land on a subject or topic you don't know much about.

On that note, search in that regard always reminded me of those times where you ask a teacher how to spell a word and they say to look it up in the dictionary.
I think its a fair assumption that any massive AWS or similar scale company infra outage is going to knock out a good portion of your SaaS and multiple parts of the web
If you sell the bitcoin right away, the risks of custody aren't too bad.

You can probably also just join an existing mining pool, and negotiate that they pay you in real money straight away.

> But at least fuel serves a purpose (especially in remote areas!)

Money can be exchanged for goods and services that can serve almost any purpose.
You actually identify with your values and they have personal meaning for you? You don't spit them out only when given a specific prompt, them becoming completely forgotten and irrelevant when given some other, perhaps contradictory prompt?
You made me realize the painful difficulty in defining a distinction between legit use by police (which is occasionally used catching stolen cars, etc, and which makes the news) and creepy Orwellian surveillance.
True, the JSON API itself is more flexible, in the sense of being multi-purpose and more easily consumable by different clients. But how easy is it to change each API? I think the article uses "flexibility" as our flexibility to change the API, not as the flexibility of the data.
It's become hard, and will become harder, precisely because of things like GPT (unintentionally) spreading misinformation. I'm against censorship in general, and this is no exception, but I do hope it leads to people becoming more critical of what they consume. However, I suspect that instead we will unfortunately see the continued cycle of creating large masses of people "educated" on such widely-propagated half-truths, while only a tiny subset of the population will have the actual truth.
Bold of you to assume that I don't want to know that it's real. I asked a question that I thought might lead to some first-hand anecdotal evidence, as I'm intrigued after going through your links that you provided.

What's the advantage here to me? What can I do? If what you say is correct and "they" can both read my mind remotely and control my body, organs included, and this is in the public domain with my name attached to it, I would say that it's a battle nobody can win, especially as I don't even know who the hypothetical attacker would be, and where from.

I've heard all kinds of "crazy" things, some of which turned out to be true, because the truth is frequently stranger than fiction, especially as far as technology is concerned.

However, the mix of defensiveness and emotional language is never a good sign though for credibility.

If you've never experienced it first-hand, and you're making a claim that this is possible to do remotely and is being abused, what's your evidence for that? You can write long posts lambasting for me apparently dismissing it, yet you've presented no evidence of your own to validate your own original claim. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
This article is full of contradictory information.

> it’s likely that viable juice jacking attacks are possible, but they’re largely out of reach for the vast majority of hackers

When is hacking such a specialized thing when there are tons of instructions on the darknet for these type of things?

> There are some major limitations, however, that make the O.MG Cable and similar hacking tools unsuitable for the kind of opportunistic juice jacking the FCC and FBI warnings envision. First, the script must be tailored to the specific model of hardware being attacked.

So target the largest common denominator? Even just 5 out of 1000 individuals compromised is a "good day", slurp up that data and sell on the darknet.

> That means it’s infeasible, if not impossible, to create a malicious charging station that could hack more than a very small number of phones in use today.

But a small number is some number. It doesn't matter if it's infeasible, just that it's possible. Target the largest base case - this being the Samsung Galaxies and specific iPhone/iOS versions.

> Additionally, the O.MG cable works only on Apple devices equipped with a USB-C connector.

Android, laptops, etc. Still viable attack vectors. As more and more devices move to USB-C (thanks to the EU) and more devices becoming slimmer - these charging stations are going to look like attractive targets. Surface Pro is now USB-C, and a number of laptops charge via USB-C.

> They create unneeded anxiety and inconvenience that run the risk of people simply giving up trying to be secure.

This is the "low hanging fruit". By conditioning the public to avoid these , they can eliminate this kind of attack almost entirely. It's kind of how we eliminated a large body of diseases by teaching people to wash their hands when they come and go from places. Good hygiene is still good hygiene.

I feel like Ars journalist want people to fall victim to these, just so they can write easy articles.
That's intriguing. And you could also customize the writing "in the style of ...".
Sounds like this is pretty doable in Linux with some tinkering
im using phind too - phinding it pretty incredible. As someone learning development - it has helped me with so many of the annoyances of learning dev environments, like:

environmental variable issues in windows.
*diagnosing a UTF-8 issue in windows.

i get that professionals problems would be harder to answer...however, getting responses without wading through stack exchange entry after entry has really kept me focused, and prevented the often times frustrating recursive spiral which is getting an issue with your issues issue...
Those reports are simply not accurate! :)

Typically, for my team, the interview process is always under 2-3 weeks. The longest I've seen across all teams would be up to 1 month. The only times I've seen the process take a bit longer is when we have rare issues with matching candidate availability with interviewer availability.

For a typical position, you're looking at maybe 4-5 1-hour phone calls with different engineers and then maybe a 30-40 minutes call with the engineering manager for the respective team.

Just out of curiosity what would say is the optimal way to learn from an encyclopedia, research paper or Wikipedia?
It is really great and always where you need it. The shutter on these things is amazing and solves all problems with leaf shutters, filth has little effect on it and even if it gets dirty enough to inhibit function you can just open the back of the camera and click the shutter and stop its rotation with your finger so you can clean it, it is like 1/16" thick steel so you are not going to hurt it unless you actively try. The only real problem with the shutter is the spring will need replacing every 10k photos or so, but that is a simple matter and even if you ignore it all that happens is that the shutter speed is slightly slower than it should be. This camera convinced me that leaf shutters should not exist.
Look, you are touting a metric that you agreed has no bearing on the argument you are trying to make. The number of machines does not matter, it isn't part of any meaningful equation at all. Akin to summing the miles per gallons per car over the number of cars to measure efficiency.
"Well, let’s say that we wish to remove the ability to transfer money from our bank to other banks as well as the ability to close accounts.[...] You can see that in this response, links for those two actions have been removed from the HTML."

This makes me think about server functionality that is not exposed in the web app but it's still there, with potential security implications. An instance of the more generic case of client functionality not being in sync with server functionality of which client-only form validation is another scenario.
You're working really hard in this discussion. Why?
Did you not read the article? It says if they notice a car with reported stolen plates or no plates drive up to the Stanford Shopping Center, they can dispatch police to deal with it right then and there. If they get there quickly enough they would hopefully stop the theft before it occurs or stop them from getting away.

Stanford Shopping Center has an Apple Store which has had problems with theft in the past.

They could avoid the readers, true, but they might not even realize they need to. It’ll definitely help some percent of the time.
It was a bit confusing, but when I said "amount of that type of material which is actually recycled", think I'm agreeing with @surement: look at the amount of material in the actual landfill stream vs the recycle stream. If studies show that overall, 1% of plastic is recycled and 99% goes to the landfill, then all plastic material in all products will be charged at 99% of the tax rate. The incentive here is to encourage companies to develop technology to move the recycle rate from 1% to 10% to 50%, etc. Adjust that discount quarterly or annually or whatever.
Display a little imagination!

They could invite outside miners to set up shop in the village.

The miners would finance provide the capital, set up the mining rigs, and take all the bitcoin risk. The villagers would just sell them electricity. Just like they would sell electricity to any other business.

No clue whether that's what's happening in Bhutan, but it's a perfectly valid business plan, and pays the villagers right away.
> On the other hand I've seen GPT fail so miserably at topics that I'm knowledge about that I have a very hard time trusting anything it tells me.

ChatGPT’s current super power is helping people get from 0-to-1 on a new topic. In particular if that topic is adjacent to or a different niche with your expertise.

It’s not currently amazing at taking someone from intermediate to advanced knowledge.

At least in my experience. If I’m using a new library/framework/API for the first time it’s amazing at answering the endless newbie questions I have.

I can't speak for other countries, but in the US trying to get everybody on the same page in terms of recycling habits would be worse than herding cats.

It's not something anybody wants to put energy towards because they're trying to keep 50 other plates spinning at any given time (which as an aside, is also a huge source of plastic waste because nobody has the time or energy to cook) and there's also a chunk of the population who will take any kind of push to change behavior as a personal affront.

You can probably get a small percentage to adhere fully and a slightly larger to partially adhere, but I agree with parent comments that it's better to make companies use materials that are easier to recycle in the first place.
That's why it's idiomatic in OCaml to write interface files which contain type annotations for the modules. In practice many or most modules (over time) are given interface files which strongly contain the area of effect of type inference.

Ridiculous hogwash. Springsteen didn't "paint a target around his arrow." He is just insanely talented in a way that resonates with millions of people.

Step 1: Be Springsteen

Step 2:
An expressway near me has a speed limit of 100 km/h. Most times I drive it, the fastest driver I might see is < 105 km/h. Vast majority will be at 99-101 km/h.

In the US, a significant number of people blatantly go 10-30+ km/h over the highway limits. What causes this?
I noticed a while back that the internet has made me terribly prone to skimming. It got to a point where I could hardly stand to read anything longer than a short news article.

To learn anything useful on the internet, you pretty much have to skim. So much of the internet is so loaded with filler and BS that it is hardly worth reading at all.

With ChatGPT, it’s incredibly refreshing to be able to ask a question and get nothing other than a concise answer. No skimming required. I feel so much more focused and better able to learn this way.

I've been using ChatGPT as a brainstorming tool rather than just relying on it for specific examples. Stuff like asking it for some ideas for things to learn on a topic.
Yes, and their argument was that this is a bad match up.

Renewable energy is only available at certain times, whereas nuclear is as stable as you can get. You can't pause energy generation for nuclear power plants, which is why coal/gas is more effective in this context, as you can start and stop these at will.
I notice that this contains only criticism and comparison to children, without offering a better way to learn.

If OP reads your comment, they will be no better at learning than they were before. In that way, it's a pretty unhelpful comment.
I have the opposite problem. If I open too many Windows, the Windows window manager starts glitching out. When I open an app, it doesn't always come to the front and I have to go alt-tab through dozens of windows to find it. (Sometimes it ends up at the bottom, so alt-shift-tab switches to it... but sometimes it ends up in the middle...)

Also if I open too many windows, opening Windows explorer takes 1-2 or more seconds. Something about exhausting GDI handles?
That is actually the killer feature of interactive AIs.

People go on and on and on about "accuracy", completely ignoring that accuracy is irrelevant to 99.9% of things that humans do in their everyday lives.

Simulating (positive) human interaction is far more impactful than getting facts correct.

This is incredibly, incredibly naive. "Within minutes, I learned" -- absolutely nothing. At most you've learned how the answers to your question would sound like. They are not the answers.
That doesn't disprove the previous statement. Maybe cops are almost always aware of that and do the right thing, but the system is even more useless. In that situation you'd get more arrest shootings than caught criminals.
For now the system has to be trained per person. Is the difference in brain activity across individuals significant enough to stop building a universal model?

It is not clear whether this is language dependent or not. If it is, I hope being bilingual or multilingual is a viable defense against this technology.
I'm not sure what you're trying to argue here outside to say current researchers can't predict the future.

True... Which is why they're warning against the "potential" dangers and sounding the alarm now, as opposed to after the fact.

"The Godfather of AI" seems as qualified as anyone to voice those concerns. There's no debate to be had here.
Good question. The proven model so far is reducing funding. Some universities found new ways to raise money by offering online and async course modalities. This benefits students who need the extra flexibility, and it's probably the most significant change that can be made. Increasing proliferation would require grants to surmount the initial investment and the need for guidance from the already successful institutions who paved the way.

Another change I'd like to see is shorter undergraduate programs. Most can stand to lose a few classes off the beginning that duplicate high school and a few off the end that duplicate grad school. That might have to be a political decision in response to the high cost of education. Shaving off a year could help you avoid the family issue entirely, especially if you worked for a year or two before returning to grad school.

Similarly, another proven model is that senior year of high school can also be used to reduce the duration of college. You can already get college credit, but it's a very fragmented and uneven system. State governments could fix that with policy, again to address the high cost of education.
Did you seriously just link the Wikipedia articles for... microwaves and the EM spectrum?

In one sentence, what is the concrete point you are making?
The fact that women are smaller is just one reason. that they try to cooperate first and not fight for everything another.
Sure, but $100k is very high for emergency savings. Most recommendations point to 3 months. Even if you are very risk adverse, most people do not need $100k for 6 or even 12 months of expenses.
I think you got it the wrong way around - cities _form_ around opportunities, rather than produce them.

Initially, geographic advantage (such as being near harbour, river, or some other geographic feature) gives a settlement that's not yet a city a big advantage in attracting more people there. This in turn, forces the city to grow as more people cram in.

To artificially build denser by policy doesn't produce opportunities - those opportunities would have to be there first! And it's this "expensiveness" of creating more accomodation in the city that causes the city to expand.
Sure, I missed him because I don't follow him.

His style is not for my taste, nothing wrong with the guy.
For cursory tasks like reading a news? Tabs or simply clicking on the link is OK. For pages I have to work in, or even copy data from? new window.
Pretty sure Minecraft uses Perlin noise for terrain, while Noita uses entire pre-made tiles. They both have setpiece structures dotted around the terrain, but I think lelandfe was making a distinction between Wang tiles vs a gradient noise generator.
"I'm not sure what the answer really is, but I'm not sure it's GPT."

My suggestion is to stick with it and get a feel for what it's good at.

I've found that after a few months of using ChatGPT every day I've developed a pretty solid intuition for which questions are likely to get good answers and which are likely to trigger hallucinations.

It's difficult to describe what those intuitions are though!

One rule of thumb I've developed: if something is likely to be "common knowledge" - if it's something that is likely to have been discussed accurately on the internet by many different people - then ChatGPT is very likely to answer questions about it accurately.
You just pick a doctor and make an appointment. What is this approval you speak of ?
I'm curious about what topics you have knowledge of where it's failed. Does it seem like there's a pattern to the failures? I've been using GPT for coding help, and it it is very helpful in ruby and bash, though it often delivers buggy software: Badly handled non-happy-path conditions, mostly, which when I tell it to handle the case, it may. It's a huge help for me finding gems and showing me standard ruby library syntax. On the other hand, it's been useless when I try to get it to write Applescript for me. I believe that says more about AppleScript than about GPT. Sigh.
