Sure, but on HN we can only talk about CPI, as that's what every government reports and it's something we can easily compare. We can't compare each other's own inflation because we live in different countries and have different jobs, expenses, lifestyles, etc.

We all know "the real inflation I'm feeling is higher than the one reported by the government" trope but there's nothing we can do about it here and now.

The 4-digit number after your username is randomly assigned after you create an account or change your username. You can manually change this number to a custom one (if it's not already taken) if you pay for Discord Nitro.
it just gives me a warm fuzzy feeling how clearly all of this is written. the kind of thing they could just dump on you in an Operating Systems class and you actually feel like you'd have a chance of implementing it on your own.
I enjoyed and beat BOTW (I think I even did all the shrines) but spent most of the time wishing it were the game they almost made. There's just not quite enough body to it, not enough content. Lots of great-looking empty space, lots of cool stuff that punishes you for actually using it (the horse taming is such a good little system... but you're not going to ride horses much, unless you like getting places less efficiently), stuff that feels half-baked or weirdly dead (all the towns), et c. Lots of cookie-cutter shrines, four forgettable and way-too-similar dungeons, some labyrinths that are trivially bypassed and don't really reward you for going through them "properly", et c. The lazy "our economy and game-loop-incentive system are broken so we'll just make weapons break really fast to make the player give a shit about mob drops" thing that lots of people hate (I was OK with it—but I'd have much rather seen a better solution to that problem)

The best large element was probably the upgrade-nut (I forget what they were called) puzzles and a couple puzzley sidequests, but even those only had a few types, aside from a handful of (great!) one-offs.

Mostly, it made me dream of a world in which Bethesda uses that engine or one like it for the next Elder Scrolls.
I don't feel sorry for Google, nor the big amounts of PR nonsense they're putting out there in order to try to spin their being too slow to move LLM tech to the side of the consumer. Get better or get out.

Leaked Google Document: “We Have No Moat, and Neither Does OpenAI”
Ok, that kind of makes sense. Personally, I find something offensive about paying for a machine or device that's intentionally software nerfed by the manufacturer. And outside of a track setting, I think variability in one's daily driver would not be enjoyable.
When it's consistent groups of 4 brand new accounts all making essentially the same comment at the same time (in multiple places) it starts to get pretty suspicious.
I trained the AI chatbot on 15 top books on startups and entrepreneurship, ycombinator youtube channels, top blogs and podcast on startups. Check it out. I started using the bot for evaluating startup ideas, do market research and compettitor analysis.
Big, known companies are already getting their GPT-4 fix via Azure OpenAI Service, where they can get meaningful guarantees for their data, and even on-prem if they really want it.
That analogy doesn't quite fit because as alcohol increases in purity it reaches a point where it starts to damage tissues it comes into contact with.

A better example would be 4loko when it introduced caffeine, which is contrary to the point you were trying to make.
Fair enough, let's not reverse-Osborne a company that, as you say, stands a good chance of walking back their announcements (despite having already lost a sale at our house). If GM is axing the Bolt, though, I hope they hold to their word at keeping the Equinox close to the same price point.
Yes, I'd readily pay for GPT-4 access, though not the limited 25 requests per 3 hours version. I ponied up $20 for a month of usage to check it out, and it performs head & shoulders above 3.5 in its ability to comprehensively address more complex prompts and provide output that is more nuanced than ChatGPT.

I'll also point out that paid api access to 3.5 (davinci-03) is frequently better than ChatGPT's use of 3.5. You get many fewer restrictions, and none the "awe shucks, I'm just a little 'ol LLM and so I couldn't possibly answer that".

If you're frustrated by having to go to great lengths to prompt engineer and ask ChatGPT to "pretend" then it's worth it to pay for API access. I'm just frustrated that I can't use the GPT-4 API the same way yet (waitlist)
I'm still not sure I follow. In the article, the uncertainty is not intended to be independently estimated. The distribution described has a single parameter, which is the median completion estimate, and that is the only parameter needed; the uncertainty is fully derived from that. The distribution is not absurdly sensitive to this; it's just the scale parameter, so it scales the entire distribution linearly, which is a property that you would expect from fundamental symmetry.

(Unless you mean that the summary of the estimate, rather than the shape of the distribution, varies a lot depending on whether you're quoting a 95% or a 99% confidence interval. But that is just the nature of long-tailed distributions).

I'm also not sure what it means to "fit" a project to a log-normal. A single project doesn't have a distribution, unless you're measuring completion time of individual tickets within that project. The entire project's completion time might be very far off of the median estimate, but as long as the distribution assigns a nonzero probability to it, it's hard to say from just one sample whether it was right or wrong.

If you are measuring the distribution of the individual tickets and they aren't distributed along a log-normal, I'd be very surprised; it would be worth seeing what distribution they do fall into to learn what state of knowledge is being captured by those estimates.
Are you proud that Big Tech and Big Banks were the only ones able to build the infrastructure and get a large network effect? You like monopolies and cartels?

VISA was simply a project of Bank of America. They did the work. They got the merchants to accept it.

The CCP helped WeChat get all merchants to accept payments with WeChat. Maybe you like all your monetary policy being centrally controlled, by the Fed? Perhaps you’ll be welcome the new CBDC and National ID, that’s coming, knowing that the central planners have your best interests in mind…

HN is irrationally against Web3, thus many knee-jerk hate on decentralized networks. And they have never heard of communities having their own currency and being able to run their own monetary policy.

If our government had the guts to institute Pigovian taxes, then the Fed wouldn’t have to step in and use the only lever they have — interest rates - to squadh inflation. And all these banks wouldn’t be going belly up. This is just one example.

Personally, I see that the world isn’t HN. And with all these banks going belly up, they’ll gladly latch onto something else. Now if we don’t do anything, it’ll be CBDCs and National IDs.

We are at least trying to build a viable alternative that’s by the people. Historically Hackers were anti-establishment and against bootlickers. They very much support cypherpunks like Phil Zimmerman and other “crypto bros” as you call them. Maybe the “Hacker” ethos in Hacker News will shine through in the future, and you’ll realize that squashing self-sovereignty and welcoming more consolidation and centralization is not the way. Stop trying to ride the “cool” bandwagon of VCs that give you money to build a monopoly, and embrace the real hacker ethos of open source alternatives that are BY the people, not just FOR the people by the elites.
Schools have been doing this for decades. Why is this news?
I agree that both Google and OpenAI are losing the race to open-source in AI research. However, a more critical issue to Google is their struggle to compete with OpenAI in LLM-based search engines. Google's entire business model mostly relies on ads (77.6% in Q4 2022). OpenaAI is developing LLM-based products that people apparently love (100M users in 2 months) and seem to use it as search engines. This poses a greater risk to Google than just losing ground in research since it could ultimately lead to the loss of their ad-generated income.
Well, that's interesting.

Got any more information on that? Why does it fail in that way? Is that an implementation or a specification problem?
OK, this is a very cool method of verification for a social network but they goofed. Everyone goofs. In this thread folks being like "this is a bunch of jokers", yeah, I think they learned their lesson about rolling their own domain verification and everyone had some fun.

N=1, but it appears users often create long and overly verbose bucket names.
"We'll build our own validation instead of using one of the existing standards that make perfect sense." is not just "a single bug". It's a flaw in architecture.

A PR of "Change external domain validation to use .well-known (or DNS01, etc)" is not a "bugfix"

i think you're conflating being self-conscious, and being intelligent. In AGI , A is also very important. A universal oracle stuck in a machine, able to correctly predict anything and answer all questions, but still having no "desire" or "will" or consciousness, would be an AGI ( imho )
https://www.macrotrends.net/countries/DNK/denmark/healthcare...

In 2000 Denmark was spending 2496$ yearly per capita on healthcare, in 2012 it was 6004$(taking inflation into account: 2496$ in 2000 was 3,327.91$ in 2012)

Maybe they just got better at detecting it?

Your reasoning is akin to saying that it's likely that vaccines cause autism because of some overlapping charts, correlation is not causation.
Running a security bounty program as a bootstrapped business: lessons learned
Could you please give an example of what would break? Perhaps I'm being dense, but it seems a new C standard supporting this would still compile existing code just as C++ can.
Is that to assume these kids would've got mentally ill anyway, just later down the line?
Both http and dns verification are stupid. Neither of them prove you own the domain.

http verification proves you temporarily control IP space relative to a viewer. dns verification proves you temporarily control name resolution relative to a viewer.

Both are trivially hacked, multiple ways. By the time someone finds out you did it (if they closely monitor CT logs, which nobody does) you've already had hours, days, weeks to run a MITM on any domain you want. The attack only has to work once, on any of 130+ CAs.

The solution is registrar-level proof. Cert request signed by the private key of the domain owner, sent to the registrar to verify, the registrar signs it if its true, it's sent to the CA who can see the registrar signed it. Now you know for a fact the domain owner asked for the cert. The only possible attack is to steal all three of the owner's private key, the registrar's private key, and a CA's private key.

I have been shouting about this for 10 years, none of the industry incumbents care. The internet is run by morons.
So Norway is anti-capitalist? Uh. Right.
observation requires the transmission of information to the observer, how is it being proposed to do this without force? The question on the table is "constructing a toy which demonstrates" and demonstration requires observation, I think is what is being said
If someone is paying for a 1s quicker 0-60 how can you prove it was that 1s that caused the accident? Also, the vast majority of road trauma is not caused by performance vehicles. This does not sound like a meaningful way to make a difference.

The best way to reduce the road toll is to get humans off the road. Autonomous vehicles are already safer drivers, but people don’t feel comfortable because the fewer mistakes they do make aren’t mistakes humans would make. Once these issues are ironed out we need to rapidly legislate human drivers off the roads.

May the Fourth Be with You: Building an Epic Star Wars GraphQL API
It's difficult to believe that there are many sets of identical twins out there where one was abused and the other treated well or whatever.

Were these identicals raised apart, or together? Are there enough of each to see a difference in rates between those raised together and apart?

Whatever the triggers are, I can't help but think that they're subtle and unmemorable.
Solution is to write AHK script to launch the game and kill AHK executable.

If anti-cheat is okay with AHK in the system, but not running, of course.

What exactly is the purpose of filing a lawsuit in countries without jurisdiction over the plaintiff in question?
It feels like I see this a lot more recently and not just with science articles. Someone will write an entire article about a subject and never provide enough information for anyone to reach any informed opinion about it at all.

It might be an article about a controversial statement someone made, but they'll never quote or link to what was actually said and instead only talk about the drama surrounding it. When the article is about the text of a proposed law, the law is rarely linked to and is often not even named. It feels like I see way more links to random people's tweets from news sources than links to actual sources. I guess commentary gets more clicks than content, but I the content is what actually matters and is usually what I'm interested in.

There is no such thing as internally driven morality.
Agreed, I have some expertise in a couple software topics, and there is nowhere in public media that would pay me to write about it.

The only exception would be if my name were super recognizable/I had some legitimacy I could “sell” to publish something that did have commercial value, like some shitty CIO-targeted “article” about why XYZ is the future, in which case it’s not really going to be interesting content or actually sharing ideas.
I found it very difficult to do things like rich text boxes for a ChatGPT clone I was writing aimed at being child friendly. Ended up giving up when it became a bit spaghetti-ish and after the documentation stopped being useful beyond hello world apps.

As a previous GitHub Enterprise Server customer on a site with hundreds of users, who's spoken with a number of GitHub employees about this, I do not think that is true. They would far rather you were on GitHub Enterprise Cloud. They view Server instances as a necessary evil for people who have compliance or security requirements they can't handle with the Cloud version, but it is fairly obviously a pain in the neck for support, and attempting to attain feature parity. They have been trying to bring their Server offering closer in architecture to the Cloud version since forever (e.g. moving to Nomad a few years ago to orchestrate it all as containers, so you can shard the services out over multiple hosts similar to github.com, etc.).

There is no tangible difference between being worth $1B and $100B beyond social cachet. It is impossible to spend meaningful money at that level.
WSB is the Reddit community where everyone openly admits to running with pump-and-dump schemes, with the hopes to not be the dumb bagholder at the end.

Its a legally grey zone IMO. Its not a traditional pump-and-dump scheme, but the effects are basically the same.

They choose a stock, somewhat at random to pump. They use WSB to communicate and coordinate when the pump occurs. The idea is to use a stock that has nostalgic value (Gamestop, AMC, BBBY), but is in dire straights.

A shorter term, tactical goal, is to often find highly shorted stocks and/or stocks with high options leverage to cause either a short-squeeze or gamma-squeeze event.

Its all public knowledge, legally and morally grey IMO. I wouldn't touch it personally, but obviously you get a whole bunch of pump-and-dumpers together in one location on the internet, they're all going to be competing for the same money on the same forum.
> Passkeys are already device-bound

No, they're explicitly not, they're synced to the cloud for both iOS and Android. Microsoft also plans to do cloud sync (if they don't already).

Yubikeys are device identity credentials. Passkeys are user credentials, they get backed up off device. That's a really big deal that both Google and Apple have been heavily advertising about their implementations -- you make a passkey on your phone, lose your phone, buy a new phone, and you get your passkey back when you sign into your account. They are very much user credentials rather than device credentials; anyone who has access to your iCloud can use your passkeys.

Passkeys aren't bound to your iPhone, but they are inexplicably bound to your Apple devices. That's the portability problem. The major companies (Google, Microsoft, Apple) got rid of device-bound keys. But they kept the platform lock-in.

> where almost certainly, a user HAS MANY devices.

Speak for yourself, I have exactly one device that will work as an authenticator, and even it only works as an authenticator because I've been too lazy to install LineageOS on it.

Most people own one phone and a laptop, and they frequently travel with both of them at the same time. I think Google/Microsoft/Apple went the cloud-sync direction partially in acknowledgement of the fact that "use multiple devices" doesn't really work for everyone.
The plot is ludicrous.
Fusion and the Holy Grail
I've used it with llama.cpp; results are not great, but not entirely terrible (I'd say somewhere between GPT-2 and GPT-3). Still, totally free and open source is great and I'm looking forward to more development from them (and others building on top like an RLHF / alpaca / chat kind of thing).
But what about the humiliation that young people have to suffer from age discrimination. Being told that "you're not old enough" while being perfectly capable of handling the task, for example. Nobody complains because it's been normalized in society. Just as racial discrimination was, in the past. We only get outraged about it after it is gone, not when we are living through it.

In fact I feel somewhat, that some of the these types of discrimination is just a way for one group, i.e. adults to exert their dominance over younger people. Just as way of showing power. There might be some kind of unconscious primitive behavior at work here????

Appliances are not end user computing, but embedded computing - the OS is incidental and under full control of the manufacturer.
Some might argue that even mobile phones are not sufficiently under the control of end users to qualify.
Being easy to fix is completely irrelevant. The thing is that it's easy to avoid. The only way to end up there is to not put any thought into the domain verification scheme before deploying it. Any kind of review would catch it. That's what makes it look really bad.
CNBC back at it again with hot hitting cutting edge news.
99% of media coverage like “Tech employee/company says <provocative or controversial thing>” are exactly like that.
The current paradigm is that AI is a destination. A product you go to and interact with.

That's not at all how the masses are going to interact with AI in the near future. It's going to be seamlessly integrated into every-day software. In Office/Google docs, at the operating system level (Android), in your graphics editor (Adobe), on major web platforms: search, image search, Youtube, the like.

Since Google and other Big Tech continue to control these billion-user platforms, they have AI reach, even if they are temporarily behind in capability. They'll also find a way to integrate this in a way where you don't have to directly pay for the capability, as it's paid in other ways: ads.

OpenAI faces the existential risk, not Google. They'll catch up and will have the reach/subsidy advantage.

And it doesn't end there. This so-called "competition" from open source is going to be free labor. Any winning idea ported into Google's products on short notice. Thanks open source!
Unbundling is also what made air travel a shitty experience for everybody. Same thing with cable TV.

I use GPT-3.5 for a lot of terminology lookup, and it's generally pretty great.

"In the context of [field I'm ramping up in], what does X mean, and how is it different than Y" -- it's not as good as GPT4 but it emits so much quicker and it normally gets me where I needed to go.

But the time to get your roi is likely to go down significantly. Which means overall costs could still go down and you can gradually add more capacity.
