The least bad option would be to raise taxes. If the problem is too much money, directly removing the money from the system is the solution. Taxes can be precisely targeted and work quickly. Call it a "windfall tax" for political cover, but given that it would have to be large to be effective, it would be more than that. The Inflation Reduction Act was a good start, but it only raised taxes by $700B.

The next least bad option would be to reduce spending. It'd be slower to act, can't be targeted as easily as increased taxes and there's no possible way to reduce spending by the trillions necessary to have an effect on inflation.
You are asking the op to prove a negative. You are making the claim that this is a "Trained Observer" which has been debunked, the burden of evidence has fallen to you to show that it has been debunked. Op can't exactly cite something saying that it has not been debunked. They cited a video with evidence and people who have some large authority on things in the air.
The transition is exactly the time for impersonation

I hope they will protect some usernames that are shared by no other users (eg the name of artists)

Malicious users could register the Twitter handle of popular artists, to impersonate them or to request a fee to have it back :/

I hope they thought that out.
Whether it beats ChatGPT right now is important to me, right now.

I'm very excited about everyone doing work even when they're not beating ChatGPT right now, of course.

But how it compares to ChatGPT right now is extremely relevant to lots of people.

It's also become very common to vaguely reference OpenAI's offerings when announcing new models without saying how they actually compare, or only mentioning some small way in which it compares favorably.

(Though it seems to often be that some comment from the article comparing to OpenAI gets promoted to the title when posted on HN, like here.)
How dare they? By doing this, they can snatch all the really great developers earning standard game dev salaries. /s
I’m a father of a then-little girl who was molested by one of her 2nd grade classmates. What came out of the safety investigation, the boy who molested her was taught that behavior through unmoderated sexually oriented user generated content on Roblox. I am stunned to see you recommending people should actually work for this groomers cesspool, with said content persisting to this day. The only reason I can imagine is you work there. And if you do, then fucking do something about it.

This had grave consequences for my daughter, the trauma, the PTSD, and a year of therapy.
> by .94%

Nitpick: probably better written as either 0.94% or as 1% — it is too easy to see 94% when skimming or unfamiliar (94 feels big, and percentages plus decimals are a little bit more complicated). Certainly I did a double-take.
Thank you. I've been trying to figure out what they hell they are and have been unsuccessful. I thought it was just me.

And that's the problem. The lack of a cross browser/device/os standard. You can't create a secure authentication chain - let alone replace passwords - without standards that are broadly accepted; without broadly accepted standards. To do otherwise means you have to train your average Jack on 4 (or more) different ways to authenticate to one service.

And the way they'll pick? Passwords. Because they know how to use passwords.
This is about ChatGPT (or AI in general) disrupting other companies, not about OpenAI (or ChatGPT) being a fraud.

Relevant quote:

The most immediate way in which ChatGPT is going to be securities fraud is the usual “everything is securities fraud” way:

1. ChatGPT is going to be disruptive to some number of businesses and industries.

2. Some companies will lose money because ChatGPT disrupts their business.

3. This will be bad, for them, and their stocks will drop.

4. Every bad thing that happens to a public company can be characterized as securities fraud: “You didn’t sufficiently warn us about the bad thing, so we bought the stock thinking it was good, but then the bad thing happened and the stock dropped, so we were defrauded.”

How will they pay their bills by contributing to godot? Would be interesting if it had a paid marketplace and some of the devs could start writing extensions for godot. That would make the engine more popular as well.

Alright guys, hear me out…

Let’s build a browser inside of virtual assembly code that runs in a browser that runs on an OS that runs on real assembly code (sort of). We could run that on a physical processor, or in a VM (hey, maybe we could run that VM inside a browser that runs on…)

Congress isn't incentivized to fix inflation. On the contrary, stats are concocted from cherry picked consumer goods to show current inflation at lower levels than what is reflected in reality and the specific goods vary depending on their cost at the time stats are concocted. Assets also tend to accumulate value when inflation rises, and so congresspeople know this and accumulate assets that will do so.
It's a bit longer, but that's the gist of it.

I just realized, for that particular news article about Regenerative medicine it was my mistake all along. I asked ChatGPT to give unknown sources a score of 1 and completely forgot about. I think that's what it did.

For now it marked only 8 sources as unknown out of 1700.
Costs to whom?

If anything the military has been very quiet about things in the sky, because if they went public they'd have to admit that probably adversary nations have been getting the drop on them.

> The gross inaction and the stigma surrounding unexplained aerial phenomena as a whole has led to what appears to be the paralyzation of the systems designed to protect us and our most critical military technologies, pointing to a massive failure in U.S. military intelligence. This is a blind spot we ourselves literally created out of cultural taboos and a military-industrial complex that is ill-suited to foresee and counter a lower-end threat that is very hard to defend against.

I still don't understand where the money came from

1. Get fired from your job as a school teacher for having sex with students

2. ????

3. Profit!

Sometime there's a reference to "estate planning" or "tax planning", etc, but that doesn't seem like "buy an island" kind of money. (And I'm sure the wealth was exaggerated but still there was plenty of money)
This was before cancel culture, metoo and whatnot. People are a lot more sensitive now. He had served his sentence (even if in retrospect it was ridiculously light). The fact that so many different people associated with him is evidence that obviously it wasn't in any way culturally unacceptable at the time.
Except the US treasury and the Fed gave all US banks a 1yr blank check to get their act together, if rising rates really are causing them trouble. This was during the SVB crash. So no, banks should not fail because of rising rates, if they don't have idiots in charge. Oh wait, SVB failed specifically because they had idiots in charge. Good thing they all got fired. How many more idiots are in charge of banks? The FDIC will find out for us in about a year I'm betting.
I suspect that the person you trolled with that tedious gotcha question declined to respond more out of boredom than because they were "stumped".
There is evolution at work. Those who venture out will come to dominate the universe. Those who do not will be suffocated.
You might be right, and my initial assessment is incorrect. The real reason why HTTP2 doesn't solve the loading problem with many files is the depth of imports across all dependencies - the browser loads the entry file, sees its imports, fetches those URLs, then discovers new imports, starts fetching those, discovers more, etc recursively. So the slowness is caused by the latency of each round trip (easily 50ms-500ms), and not by how many files the browser has in-flight simultaneously, as I assumed.
It solves the awareness problem by making them choose it when they create their account. If you need more, you can have a fun little animation that presents the finalized username + discriminator after it's created. Or show them how to add Tom from Myspace.

I figured the "busy usernames" issue was a truly trivial problem solved by making the discriminator a 0 to 5-digit alphanumeric.

Because the discriminator would be chosen by the user, it would only be as cumbersome as sharing a normal username or email.

What I felt discord really needed was a way to send an invite link to be friends.

"Wait, is this is the same company that shoved IE down our throats for years and got sued for anti-competitive practices?"

Really though?

It was that easy?

On my shit-list it's definitely way above Facebook, Apple, and Google. A company which has on so many occasions made my life harder and caused me to suffer. I would qualify Microsoft as irredeemably horrible, I can't imagine what they would have to do to make me consider changing my opinion of them.
I suggest it purely for educational purposes. The first struggle isn't identifying the best use case - its understanding wtf is going on. Putting it in terms of something more familiar is helpful for that.

Your thing would make for a wonderful followup topic though.
The evidence is astounding and the reaction to the evidence of the Roblox Corporation is horrifying.

That is a very US specific problem though.

It would have been easy to make a store for java apps present on other platforms as well. Could even have been a java app itself or a homepage.
I think the biggest argument against UFOs (or at least, against UFOs being aliens) is the set of claims that need to be true for it to hold up.

* Aliens (which in fairness, is the easy thing to accept here)

* Aliens that have the technology and means to travel vast distances to our solar system, and then on to earth

* (Alternatively) Aliens that have the technology and means to hide their presence in nearby solar systems and also still pretty good technology for traveling long distances

* A desire in these aliens to regularly and specifically visit earth (otherwise we wouldn't have sightings over such a long period of time)

* A desire to avoid being spotted by humans (otherwise we should surely expect far more of these sightings)

* A consistent inability in these aliens to avoid being spotted despite the aforementioned desire and technological capability (otherwise we would have no sightings at all)

* A very heterogenous set of equipment, vehicles, creatures, and patterns to account for the wide range of different reported sightings

* A desire by the government to keep this information hushed up (in fairness, this might not be required, but it seems insisted upon by every UFO believer I've ever heard)

* An inability by the government to keep this information hushed up

* A conscious choice by experts and the media to be sceptical of this story even when evidence is leaked or released

In fairness, all of this stuff could be true. If the evidence points to it, we should be willing to accept crazy claims like "this particle is actually also a wave" and "black holes exist". But extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, and repeated, consistent evidence. And that's what the whole "UFOs are aliens" lacks. There is a handful of circumstantial, fuzzy evidence from photos and videos that show wild things but aren't consistent with each other, and at best support one or two of the claims made above.

For me, that's the biggest issue here. It's not just accepting that some shiny ball of light might be an extraterrestrial vessel, it's also building a full theory out of that assumption that actually makes sense. Every interpretation I've seen requires so many crazy assumptions that it's very difficult to take the whole thing seriously at the end.
> And trust with users is the currency of the 21st century as much as data is the new oil.

Is it? The cynic in me feels that the actual currency is "engagement" - how many consumers can you keep on your platform. Providing a great and trustworthy service is one strategy to archieve this, but by far not the most effective or reliable.

The big players very much seem to prefer a captive audience (through network effects, vendor-controlled hardware, closed ecosystems, etc) that cannot switch away no matter how much they personally dislike or mistrust the platform.
Chris Dixon pretends that AOL, AIM, Geocities and Angelfire didn't own a giant part of the consumer internet in the 90s. They were all centralized and ad-driven.
The 1970s analysis was that the most visible transmitters on Earth were television towers which broadcast a narrowband repetitive signal which would have been unmistakable for any natural phenomenon.

More recently the conventional wisdom is that it would be pretty hard to detect modern digital signals that are approaching the Nyquist limit since these look more and more like "broadband noise". This paper is suggesting that the broadband noise is detectable as noise, not that the signals could be eavesdropped on as they are encrypted, scrambled with a chip code, etc.
Handwriting an importmap is no worse than handwriting a stack of `<script src="https://some.cdn.somewhere.example.com/jquery"></script>` global imports, but has the advantage that importmaps are lazy (aren't used until import time) and don't pollute the global namespace.

Just like the bad old jQuery days maybe you'll see a proliferation of importmap CDN lines to just copy/paste manually in READMEs, no need for further tooling than your OS clipboard.

Some CDNs are even building themselves to be easy to handwrite into importmaps (https://esm.sh/ for one example mentioned in other threads around here).

It gets complicated again if you don't want to rely on CDNs and prefer to have local copies, but that's always been the package management game in a nutshell (and before there was npm there was the much simpler bower and there are already tools trying to be ESM "bower").

(ETA: You can even avoid some handwriting by sharing importmaps, such as something like `<script type="importmap" src="https://your.fave.cdn.example.org/shared-react-importmap.jso...`)
The fact that they didn't in the '90s demonstrated to me that the regulators are basically toothless (worthless) in my opinion.

It turns out that it's all a system built and operated by humans. It's easy to lose sight of that being born into the world in media res so to speak; there's plenty of path dependence, and to give the economists at least a little credit, some seemingly innate human behavioral factors, but fundamentally it's all a built-up system, and it could have been and could be built differently.

The Copyright Office opinion on that only states that is the case when there is no human involvement beyond prompting, and in any case, with the Supreme Court likely to strike down Chevron deference in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo, that opinion may quite soon have very little weight.

"I want to work in this field because I am passionate about it" is always a license for employers to exploit their workers. Video gaming, fashion, entertainment, even social service – all new entrants into such careers quickly get a dose of reality about how glamorous they actually are on the inside.

My advice to smart CS students looking for jobs always is – find a nice company that makes business software. The more boring the job, the better your salary and work-life balance will be. You can work on your passions on the side.

I would question whether the measure we should be concerned with is "recession or not" - everything can be getting worse while simultaneously corporate profits are high. That's kind of by definition what short-term thinking gets you - cash in hand but ruined infrastructure and societal safety nets.

"Yes, I think it's a minor change. Almost certainly done by the end of the week, or else we have bigger problems."

"I don't know what this entails. Looks like it could be done in a day, but I wouldn't bank on that unless I can spend an hour investigating."

"This is a large feature, but nothing seems terribly complex. I think it's one or two weeks, but we should be ready for it to get snagged on small defects. We should leave room after the release for a rapid followup patch that may be needed."

KPMG audits more US banks than any other accounting firm because it is more willing to sign off on weak financial statements than any other accounting firm.

Nothing will ever beat three things, the cast commentary on Tropic Thunder ("Man, I don't drop character 'till I done the DVD commentary." - and he doesn't), the commentary on Deep Blue Sea (Samuel Jackson f's off the studio when his character dies halfway) and the sheer insane volume of BTS material on the LOTR extended DVD boxes.
Almost certain that all animals have it? The conjecture that, say, a coral polyp or an earthworm (not to mention something like a trichoplax) might have a subjective qualitative experience of existence seems to be an extraordinary claim requiring extraordinary proof.
I don't know exactly how similar a brain has to be to a human brain for us to say with reasonable confidence the owner likely has such an experience but I'd be very surprised if included even half of all known animal species. It's possibly not even all (adult) mammals, and indeed not even all humans if you include infants and possibly those with severe brain damage etc.

Honestly, I'm not an expert in this bus I do use BLAS/LAPACK w/ Fortran code on HPC systems for some of my research. If these libraries are written in Fortran, wouldn't it be faster to use them directly in Fortran? Wouldn't there be overhead translating C calls to fortran code, e.g. due to 0 vs 1 indexing, and row-major order vs column-major order for arrays?
> Production users of Haskell do seem to be happy about types, years into projects, so I'd take away that types are a benefit, but I do wonder if one might get those same benefits in another language without the problems which seem to crop up with Haskell, such as laziness causing performance issues, monadic complexity, and difficulty hiring.

Rust. Rust is that language.

Rust's type system is good enough and close enough to Haskell without the footguns of other options (Java, C++, etc), with new paradigms that Haskell hasn't yet fully adopted (borrowing, etc) and consistency in build tooling, etc.

I hate to say it, but it's incredibly hard to suggest people run Haskell in production when Rust exists and you basically trade the difficulty of learning monads + mtl + ... for the difficulty of learning to live with the borrow checker.
