I don't think OpenAI and Google have no moat. The biggest moat they have is hardware-software integration, which allows them to serve the models at a very cheap price.

My detailed thoughts in a video format https://youtu.be/cIMlPYI3nz8
Most under-25s probably aren't buying a $80k car as a starter vehicle, for example. And that group is very overrepresented in accidents. I doubt an average middle-aged Rivian driver is much different from an average middle-aged Toyota driver though.
You realize that most reports are that YouTube is barely profitable.
Yeah, if you get a nail through your foot, don't pull it out! Make the nail a point of pride, as you limp through your life! Humans are supposed to suffer, after all.

I have gained a great deal of value from the stoic/Buddhist traditions around acceptance of a certain amount of suffering, but 'learn to appreciate your suffering' is just plain silly in most cases. If masochism is your thing, fair enough, but don't act like it's what everyone should do.

The author didn't even indicate you should do everything to avoid suffering, but you're going after the idea like a ghost has been haunting you with it. I would normally assume you meant 'appreciate' as one might appreciate an avalanche - from the farthest possible vantage point - but you took that right to the "any of this 'x' bullshit" level right form the hop, just because the author made a reasonable assumption. (which was not that we should "do everything to stop suffering"). Nearly every human and other living creature seems to act in accordance with the author's assumption, so it's probably not a bad thing to assume.

Suffering is bad - arguably as bad can be. If I must live with it, I'll appreciate how polished the turd is, but if I don't have to live with that turd, why would I?
In software, as in most things, most of learning is done by doing. Creating a clone of something from scratch is a really useful learning technique and has the benefit of a defined specification.

It doesn't even really matter if the job is even completed or if the program is ever used. The important part is the doing, not the result.

I confess we did similar things at uni 30 years ago, although we mostly re-implemented arcade games, not sql databases. Databases are likely more useful to understand.

All programmers have to go through 3 stages;

A) I program to prove to myself I can

B) I program to prove to others I can

C) I know I can write this, you know I can write this, but its cheaper and easier to use this existing, available, code to do the job.

I like c) programmers in business because they understand that the goal of the business is making money not generating code. A guy who -could- write SQLite, but then understands why -using- SQLite would be better, is enormously valuable.

(Not to mention his SQL chops are probably pretty good by then)
I'm sorry you did. 20 years ago when I was young and naive I was very strong in ideologies too. In my case it was Linux and open source. I defended it blindly for a time.

As I've grown up, now at 40 I understand more things about the world. In the case of private companies, I learned long ago not to get enamoured with them. Unless I am the owner, I work only for my paycheck. I've been in great companies, and some of them have paid me dearly. And I will always do my best for what I am paid.

But long gone are my days of pushing myself even sacrificing my health, family relationships and personal wellbeing for a company. In the end, they can and will fire me tomorrow if it improves the bottom line.

Financial services are a big part of the UK economy but the lawyers and bankers get paid and then spend money in the UK.

Ireland’s very low corporate tax rate makes it attractive for multinational companies to structure their operations so that earnings are booked in the country even though little in the way of work is done there (perhaps through intellectual property charges.) This is only viable for a small country like Ireland because it can attract a proportionately larger amount of earnings with its low tax rate.
> In my experience/opinion, a major problem is people think in terms of monthly cash flow

Bingo bango friend. People's thinking is rooted in how they think the economy is moving. It's irrational but here it is, if they feel hopeless about ever become homeowners, they will spend money on smaller things because...why wouldn't they? There is no greater expense than a home.
I wouldn't say that. If it was that simple, the credits of GPT-4 wouldn't be this long: https://openai.com/contributions/gpt-4

The issue from an urbanism perspective is not really that highways fill up immediately.

The problem is generally selling capacity expansion as "reducing congestion" when it does nothing of the sort. That, and the capacity gets used so quickly that you are very quickly spending yourself into a hole trying to build ever more highway capacity. The thing about a train is that it's very hard to make it so crowded the service degrades due to congestion, at least not within the first 20-50 years.

This black hole of money needed for highway congestion then starts pulling away from other municipal and transportation funding needs.
This is small:

You're hyper focused on the instant effects of suffering. Intentional suffering helps prepare us for unexpected things down the road that will be much more difficult, such as deaths in the family, injuries to ourselves, getting fired, etc... Suffering that is out of our control will also make us more resilient

Your assessment of suffering being unappreciable is borderline ludicrous. I can appreciate someone else who works hard. Do they have to earn 20 million to get my appreciation? Absolutely not. I can appreciate my own hard work when I get off my couch and run a few miles. I could have stayed on the couch and taken it easy. Do I have to break my back for a noble cause for it to be suffering? Absolutely not.

If life was just a happy stroll for 100 years straight, that would actually be miserable.

Houston isn't weighed down by the income of tech workers and lawyers, Austin is. You can build all the housing you want but if people working at the grocery store are competing with tech workers, and at some point you're having to commute labor in, the costs of everything will continue to rise.
He's been involved in many extremely high-profile cases with a racial element to them—police brutality, civil rights law, and so forth. These cases often involve very high dollar amounts. In the course of representing plaintiffs, he's repeatedly lied and distorted the facts to impute racial animus where there was none, and those lies have been repeated by the media, reaching millions. Most famously, he was instrumental in spreading the "hands up, don't shoot" lie about the shooting of Michael Brown. In my opinion, a non-negligible portion of the responsibility for worsening race relations in the US falls on him.
It's two adjectives on the noun.
Listen, I know my original comment was short, just basically yelling "prove it". The reason is that while I don't doubt your anecdote is true that's not sufficient when making laws that restrict freedoms. You should also know this, thinking that something should be regulated for everyone because of your own personal experience is wrong and scares me that you do that.
But wasn't it facinating that the stock was shorted >100%?
I like the idea, but I think a library that focuses on producing requests and parsing responses according to schema is better. Sending requests to the server is orthogonal to the purpose.

What we've found useful in practice in dealing with similar problems:

- Use json5 instead of json when parsing. It allows trailing commas.

- Don't let it respond in true/false. Instead, ask it for a short sentence explaining whether it is true or false. Afterwards, use a small embedding model such as sbert to extract true/false from the sentence. We've found that GPT is able to reason better in this case, and it is much more robust.

- For numerical scores, do a similar thing by asking GPT for a description, then with the small embedding model write a few examples matching your score scale, and for each response use the score of the best matched example. If you let GPT give you scores directly without explanation, 20% of the time it will give you nonsense.
For reference, a basic office computer in the 1980s cost upwards of $8000. If you factor in inflation, a $3500 GPU for cutting tech is a steal.
Enough people losing their jobs, cutting spending habits, will create that mass psychosis.

Tech is a small part of the economy, but cities like Seattle that have built restaurants and services catering to the tech crowd will see further fallout. There was this idea that Seattle would be this next big metropolitan area, but tech implants have found it’s not for them after a few years
The vast majority of code written the for Australian government is, and I think will remain, closed, though there's certainly support for contributing to or publishing open source. But the reality is, most government software isn't particularly interesting, and what is would most likely not be approved to be open sourced.
I don't feel qualified to answer that particular question, but I feel about done with smartphones for myself as an adult. I kind of miss my super-basic Motorola flip-phone that I usually left turned off in my backpack.

Probably because the campaign this post links to puts forward a completely un-nuanced argument, and even trivialises or brushes over most of the reasonable criticism you could make about the case it’s putting forward.

I don’t know why so many activists fail to understand this. If you have a cause that you think is important, putting forward a shitty argument for it isn’t going to help in the long run.

Wasn’t there a yesterday proj that asks gpt to output non json but then it turns it into json after? Thus making it less prone to json errors
Another tip that helped my compiler. A compiler usually has passes which are optional (optimization) or things that can be done one or another way. Like a pass that can come befor or after another pass. Inputs that can be processed from left to right or right to left etc.. It is quick and easy to make flags for all these variants. Than run the integration tests with different flags.

Another tip, validation pass. If you have a (complex) data structure like an IR. Create a validation pass, which becomes the specification, of what exactly is legal in this data structure. This is like an assert on steroids.

And.. have a bigger use case at hand. Integration tests are great, but also have a real world case that can be run.
For some strange reason (maybe moral failure?) people seem to have this insatiable addiction to food and shelter and most people have found no better way to support that addiction than to exchange labor for money.

Funny you compare ML with other fields - in my experience ML is the most open and reproducible area of scientific research, by far. Talk to researchers in other areas, many write “dataset and code available by request” but never share it, have custom CFS solvers and write papers with it but never release the code, and do experiments and leave out all details in the paper making it impossible to reproduce.

You are free to treat a paper from Google like a paper from any random stranger, sure. But it doesn’t change the fact that many ML researchers I know in my R1 University (and many other top universities) always mention how much insights they get from these papers even when they couldn’t always release the code/models.

> The original Legend of Zelda plopped you on the map and gave you nothing. zero guidance. I consider this very good.

You literally can’t get far off the beach until you hit a specific milestone. And then the next milestone and so on. Zelda NES was very strictly linear, as was ALTTP, Ocarina, Majora, GC Wind Waker etc.

As for “handholding” I’ve never felt that way for a moment while playing e.g. Link’s Awakening or even the later titles like Oracle of Time/Seasons (Seasons was incredibly difficult but ultimately still linear!)

I personally did not find “But you can technically just go fight Ganon with a stick!” a plus. It’s about as much of a Zelda game as Zelda 2.
Sorry, but I don't think you do understand correctly, and I mean that in an honest and non-judgemental way, I think you may have misunderstood what Passkeys are, and what this announcement is.

With this announcement, you can log into a Google account with a Passkey. That Passkey could be generated by anything implementing the spec – an iPhone, a browser, a home-grown Python script, whatever you want.

Google can still lock you out of your Google account whether you use a Passkey or not. If you use your Google account to sign in to other sites, Google can also therefore still prevent you from logging into those other sites, as they have been able to do before (I don't know if they do this as a matter of policy, but they theoretically can).

Passkeys do not change this.

The only potential place that Passkeys might change things is if you use a Passkey generated by a Google technology, like Android or Chrome. You could use those Passkeys for logging into anything, not just Google accounts. As these are tied to a device, I don't believe the Google account on that device affects them in any way. Google can't lock you out of your Android phone, and can't prevent you using Chrome, so can't prevent you using Passkeys in either of those systems.
Life coach warning. They have to pretend a life can be programmed with certainty by way of subjugating yourself to their proprietary rehashed perspectives. And how blissful if the right wispy sentence would effortlessly reach me and motivate me at the right time, with minimal sacrifice on my part though.
I use a substantial amount of those products except IDEs (I just use neovim).

When I was forced to use mainstream IDEs, I was thinking it's okay, just slap vim extension and it should be the same. However, I forgot that my snippets are not there, advanced semantic navigation and refactoring is not handled the
way vim does with the config and extensions, ... The conclusion was that, it will look like Vim but it's definitely not the same.
Agree with the above, will add that proper fuzzing is worth it quite often also.

If your ecosystem has tooling for structured fuzzing (or it's easy for you to fuzz from a raw series of bytes), fuzzers are relatively effort to add and very powerful.

> Philosophy is generally impractical.

I don’t understand this statement. The rest of the article is an exercise in philosophy.

I perceive it to be behavior that does not elevate the human being beyond that of a lesser animal.

This is just hedonism.

Their philosophy isn’t to understand truth or beauty either. It’s just to “use heuristics” to do what other successful people do.

I don’t like Western hedonistic philosophy like this that piggybacks off of old world philosophies and picks and chooses behaviors and practices without understanding. I associate it with Western humanism which I find equally dangerous because the two are philosophical siblings from the same immoral thinking.

This is dangerous philosophy.

Edit: I’ve edited this post because I found my initial post to be overly negative.
Hey all, author here - it feels pretty surreal to see my work on the front page of HN! I have done some other hacking on MTGA like creating an insta-win bug:

https://twitter.com/dan__mayer/status/1641669864460009472

As others have pointed out there are many games where the items _are_ easily converted back to dollars. Welcome to the beautiful world of game hacking! There are some really great talks about game hacking out there that you should check out, people make bank (and have a lot of fun) with it:

1) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAUf_ygqsDo
2) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QoNdhlLPX-g

It is not all fun and games though, game companies crack down on hackers profiting off of item duping and botting HARD. A bit related is the hacker who sold hardware to help play pirated games for the switch who has to pay Nintendo a third of his salary for eternity:

https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/switch-hacker-gary-...

So be careful out there. Hack the planet!
The fallback to a password in this case feels so wrong. I mean it’s like ssh with password prompt enabled. They let this open for the conversion phase and monitor how often a user with a passkey is still using the password. But the ultimate goal should be to get rid of username/password credentials. I’m still uncertain if this will ever happen though. Given the track record of giant corps to lock out users for various reasons.

Yes, the article covers one drug and one mental illness. I'm extrapolating to all recreational drugs and mental illnesses.
Civilian agencies would be a start.
I think we just get rid of liability insurance altogether and we all cover our own cars and passengers. No liability is assessed in a road accident, just self coverage. Exceptions would be pedestrians and cyclists. Maybe tack on a cheap liability coverage for them.
The problem of the highway expansion is not damage done by the highway, or that the highway itself doesn't increase value for land far away: It's that the very subsidized highway later gives us horribly inefficient land uses which don't pay for themselves.

So yes, the widening of the highway makes the suburb more valuable, but the second effects make the city spend more resources on parking and makes the streets worse for anyone nearby. It's no picnic for the suburb either: A car-centric infrastructure basically bans anything else. That would be fine and all, if ultimately it produced more value than the alternatives. But look at the parking lots that were designed to never get completely full on black friday, back when it was actually a time where people did local shopping. Nowadays it's all wasted infrastructure, expensive to redevelop. If you thought that the commercial real estate office in dense cities was in trouble, don't look at the one in suburbs.

So it isn't really the highway, but all the things that relying on the highway leads to.
It would be better to make schools better. Most people cannot afford to homeschool their children.
When the client fetches the prices it could come with a catalog version number or some other opaque cursor which could be submitted with the purchase. If the cursor is out of date the server can simply reject it or choose to honor the old price by looking up the price in the old version pf the catalog.
Why not?

Governments routinely propose policies that are clearly “too far” and then “compromise” to their actual goals — eg, restrictions on civil rights.

Why wouldn’t the same tactic work for activists?
There was not one mention of the word "risk" in that post. It is terrible advice to maintain your body and mind? What? This advice is given as 30-40% of the western world approaches obesity, and more than that will experience some form of cancer, Alzheimers, diabetes, or heart disease in their life.

I would almost counter and say that maximizing your ev from experiences just seems like a terrible way to micromanage your life. How do you put ev on mountain biking for a few hours, or having a movie night with a loved one? Are you going to sit down with a spreadsheet and figure it out...or are you maybe just going to go out and do the thing and enjoy it?
