It's not to motivate a particular person to deliver more, it's to ensure that you're able to hire that person - if they would pay, for example, $2million, then no one with experience at managing decent size tech companies would apply as they can get a much better offer elsewhere.

Also, CEO compensation is effectively between the shareholders and the CEO - if the CEO is making the shareholders happy and they want to gift him $200m for no good reason, well, it's their right to do so, it's their money to spend or waste as they wish, not the employee's.
It’s always quite ironic to see hipsters today praise GOFAI systems and belittle the deep learning ´hype’, given that they were massively overhyped at the time and delivered next to nothing outside of some niches.

Even funnier to see how someone is always quick to explain that ´NN are not real AI’ when GOFAI was literally all about parsing, basic logic and search trees.

I work a regular full time job in Germany. Plus do some investing and gigs. Declaring taxes every year. It's not fun at all, basically you have to prepare for it the whole year(keep track of your transactions, expenses). So i don't see the point about "not declare your taxes". I guess, it's valid only for the most unproductive people in society. Generally, i have an impression that Germany benefits the most unproductive(i.e. edge case poor and super-rich). While putting all the pressure on the middle class.

It does not make use of any new CSS features, but uses long existing features in a very clever way.
I really, really want to learn pyret. It looks like an awesome language. I can't remember the last time I got so excited about a language.

I get the feeling it's not that used or popular outside of a pedagogical context though, whichis a shame since it has a lot of good ideas!
I'm not aware of any cases where this isn't the case and I personally have implemented a number of their papers.

Are you aware of other cases?
Peter Schickele once invented the classical music station WTWP--Wall-to-Wall Pachelbel.
It is absolutely reasonable to group Self and Javascript together for that reasons, sure. I just don't think even that is sufficient reason to consider Self the "ur-language". If he'd created a separate category for prototype-base OO, Self would belong there, though.
It's true that Facebook didn't commit to maintaining these projects on an ongoing basis, but that has nothing to do with the fact that they did release lots of major projects under an open source license, projects written by highly skilled engineers that could have been kept internal.

You're free to fork these repos and maintain them yourself if you'd like, and that freedom exists only because the code was made available under a FOSS license in the first place.

The alternative to this situation is not "open source code maintained in perpetuity", but "code that was never made open source in the first place".

There's no obligation for maintaining or ensuring that the open source code remains useful to you, so the criticism that projects are being open sourced and ignored might be valid, but the criticism that Facebook doesn't release major projects as FOSS is not.

We've all been spoiled by the hard work people have been putting in maintaining their FOSS repos, to the point where we now expect it. Most FOSS licenses include wording such as: THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” and that's what these repos are: code provided to you as is, free of charge and no strings attached (other than what the license specifies).
I would assume the loss of social media for children would be absolutely disastrous. We need to find other ways of dealing with the downside, instead of banning them from using it.
Not sure about where you live but in Australia the median age of covid deaths is 86 which is 8 years older than life expectancy here. For someone my age (43) the probability of death is less than 1 in 100,000

The post goes into detail about access frequency and migration between storage classes.

Their point is that storing older objects on IA saves money in exchange for latency. A user who tries to fetch a very old project out-of-the-blue can always live with very minor initial delay, after which it will stay on the instant access tier until timing out again.
The question isn't whether someone would work for $250m but would not work for $150m; the question is whether someone would or wouldn't work for you for that amount. If someone else offers $200m to the same person, they would work for you for $250m and wouldn't work for you for $150m.

Re: hiring contractors via an intermediary, the civil service unions pay scales make it nearly impossible to hire skilled specialists at market rates.

Hiring indirectly via a contracted intermediary largely solves both of these problems.

> they will also be able to propose many actions on the basis of that context such as sending an email, creating a slide deck or writing a pull request.

This blows my mind a bit...I mean, what if we get stuck in endless loops of doing stuff because the AI suggested it? Imagine a "reply for me" mdoe in slack where the model does the things you listed...but what if the original message came from someone else's model? Then where did they get their instructions from? You can imagine some insane far future where product features are getting launched, blog posts written, services deployed and no-one is quite sure who is responsible for it all.
Agreed. There is room for different plans, but we want some search metric to define the pricing.

On a side note, I truly did not want to put up a paywall. But, it is necessary to support our servers.

Show HN: ItaGPT – ChatGPT in WhatsApp for the Italians
We are proudly releasing today ItaGPT, where you can chat with ChatGPT through WhatsApp.
It is in ITALIAN, but as you know you can chat in any language you want, just ask it to reply in English.
It is free and requires NO sign up. Soon we will have subscription plans for heavy users.
Please let me know what you think about it ;-)
No one has native apps any more, do they?
Yeah, I've been suggesting this is likely coming since the launch of GPT-3.5. It seems clear at this point that in the future a lot of development work could be done by a LLM simply listening in on meetings / emails, then raising tickets based on those discussions, and then raising PRs for those tickets.

For the time being humans will probably still want to approve those tickets and PRs, but I think in the future in would be quite unreasonable for a human to attempt to critic an AI. It would be like someone as incapable as Magnus Carlson critiquing StockFish's Chess moves. Whenever an AI has reached human-level competency in the past they've always exceeded it just a few years after. And GPT-4 seems to be nearing human-level today.
It wasn't ML but gaming that drove the demand for GPUs, and ML sort of rode in the slipstream (same for crypto). Later demand for crypto hashing drove GPU sales as much as gaming but that is now over. So unless either (1) ML by itself can present a demand as large as either crypto or gaming or (2) Crypto or gaming can provide a similar demand as they've done in the past the economies of scale that drove this will likely not be reached again. If they do however the cost of compute will come down drastically and that in turn may well drive another round of advances in models for the larger players.
This is exactly what we did during Covid. We saved 86 year olds by sacrificing young people.
This is a good way to learn nothing of value.

You need to think different and to use your body as a petridish is the fastest way to understanding the world.

You're going to die anyway.

The real hard part is getting people to accept your discoveries. Most problems need to be presented as solutions and by that time it's often too late.
I think as of now, they know everything anyways, so this would be a simple value-add for the user.

Good luck finding the option! As far as I remember, it's at a nontrivial place, so you have to explore a bit.
The public has associates GPT with LLM/ or more explicitly “a thing that responds to my free text like a nice human would.”
Much more so than OpenAi.

If they call it SlackLLM 99% less people would know what you mean.
Monkey Patching in JavaScript (2016)
Reminds me of how for the past few months Google Assistant regularly asks me "Auto read is on. Would you like to turn it off?"

The insecurity is grating. I explicitly enabled this. I haven't wanted to turn it off the last hundred times you asked. Can you take a hint? Or at least make no a valid response, not just yes I'd like to turn it off?
Well if the treatment depends on the test outcome why wouldn't you just test every case every time?
> However that "somewhere" was just a location one of the devs at BlueSky chose, rather than somewhere relatively standardised, like under the ".well-known" path

I've not looked into BlueSky's domain based identity thing in any detail so I might be missing a point somewhere, but… If someone can manipulate its special location what would there be to stop the same someone being able to manipulate content under .well-known?

Are we just relying on .well-known having some extra protection (in this case by Amazon having created a bucket called .well-known so no one else could)? If so then .well-known is little safer than any other arbitrary location in this respect (because you are relying on every domain owner who might be spoofed to take an action to protect against this, rather than the protocol failing safe if nothing is done by the domain owner) and perhaps using DNS would be better.
Sad that people still live under fucking rocks like this.

‘Cambridge Analytica’ feels like a meaningless buzzword at this point.

But the main thing I’d say here is that, at least in most companies, the things you write in emails or on the corporate wiki or whatever are not private to you – they are owned by the company. That doesn’t mean people don’t sometimes use corporate email for various private things, and it will certainly be used for sensitive things, eg it would be bad if something had read all the emails and could then answer questions like ‘is the firm thinking of firing X?’. But fundamentally, I think AI applied to corporate information retrieval is pretty different to whatever is meant by ‘next generation of Cambridge Analytica’.
Business will use whatever tools allow them to minimise costs. If Slack tries to "protect their moat" and in so doing prevents their users from automating tasks that other businesses have automated, those users will switch.
Self is mostly important for its implementation and the papers about it, much more so than the language itself. If you're interested in compiler technology, especially the original papers by Urs Hölzle and David Ungar are very approachable. There's a very extensive bibliography here [1]. E.g. the paper on Polymorphic Inline Caches [2] by Urs Hölzle, Craig Chambers, and David Ungar was a seminal paper on optimising method dispatch for dynamic languages (note that lots of other work has been done since, but many of these papers are useful because they're short and simple and give a good foundation for digging into newer techniques)

I’m not supporting the idea of USA exceptionalism, but scale /absolutely/ does matter. I’ve lived on most continents, and currently in the EU, I can see when even small increases in load on services leads to total breakdown. There’s a reason they are unable to sustain amidst immigration.
that's exactly the plan. Try many times, and as long as it passes once, it can't be removed forever because no politicians will ever touch it. That's why the current system of law-making is completely gamed against citizens.

For what it's worth, "Narr" means "fool" in German. The developer might want to consider a name change.
I believe it can reduce tokens. It essentially obfuscates text as well if you want the security theatre of your prompts being hidden. Most importantly it makes more complex chains where multiple questions are asked and uses the response from the llm to decide if you need a further question.
I think the world is fundamentally divided between people who want to be heard, and people who want to be right.

With all due respect to the editors of n+1, people who do well in media are almost always, with very few exceptions, of the former category.
Do you mean that Phoenix Metro and every other place smaller should have fixed their homelessness as well as Finland or better already?
I assumed it was an order imposed by a judge and that there was some kind of standard process here. It's not abnormal for a judge to order you to pay X% of your salary capped at Y dollars a month, for example in child support.

It's unclear from the article what the nature of the payment is. It's described as a "fine" rather than "damages" but also mentions an "agreement with Nintendo".
Thank you! A very nice overview and plausible reasoning.

Oh what rose-tinted glasses you wear. No, they are quite fascist.

They're good at fooling people. They steal a few of Labour's policies, put a few non-White people in Government/Cabinet, and suddenly they're a centre party? Please.

They control who runs the BBC.

They hate poor people - just look at the realities of our benefits system.

They banned protests; those which cause annoyance.

They suppressed voters with voter ID, using the lie of significant voter fraud as justification

Every Home Sec recently been strongly authoritarian. They tend to use the Home Sec as a distraction, knowing they'll attract all the far-right accusations, leaving the rest of the party looking squeaky clean.

Prominent cabinet members have supported far-right groups/parties on Twitter.

They hate unions.

They hate human rights.

They're obsessed with appearing to defend our borders.

They strongly, STRONGLY defend the rights of corporations to exploit and profit.

They're anti-intellectual and anti-elitist, prominently expressed around the Brexit vote.

In 2019, Boris Johnson unlawfully suspended parliament

During and post Brexit they heavily promoted nationalism.

They're obsessed with appearing tough on crime.

> Few truths are useful. Philosophy is generally impractical.

Modern philosophy is impractical. The Greek/Roman philosophy is great, for example. It should be a huge shame for "humanity" to drop this approach in favor of highly sophisticated word-juggling in three tomes.

> Premise 1: suffering is bad

As someone already mentioned in the post, there is the difference between negative feeling we feel and the process of suffering it triggers. One of the biggest flaws of the common human culture is the failure to recognise it.
You may feel the coldness of water, but not to be cold. You can feel pain but not suffer. Or, more generally, you can see a failure indicator on your control panel, but not to become the failure.
Without taking this difference into an account, the rest of this hedonism makes no sense :-)

On the other side, philosophers usually focus on abstract things: think/behave like this and your life will be good. Forgetting that whatever smart philosopher you are, you probably will not be able to function normally under extreme hunger or chronic pain.
Not clear what kind of technology this is using to store energy.
Layoffs aren't a sacrifice, it's the CEO acting against the interests of the ex-employees but in the interests of shareholders (which is his job) and for that they get amply compensated by the shareholders.

Imposing a policy that if "the company is laying people off and cutting costs, the CEO should share in that sacrifice" is literally insane because it's counterproductive - it would explicitly motivate the CEO to avoid cutting costs and avoid laying people off (since that would cut their personal income), while shareholders want the exactly opposite thing, to motivate the CEO to be aggressive in cutting costs (including layoffs) whenever it allows to increase long-term profits, so any CEO compensation policy (which is set by the shareholders) should reflect that.
In the case of teenagers ~15+ that is nothing more than social dogma passed down the generations. Dogma that is considered taboo in society to challenge. Done for their supposed 'own good', in the name of 'care'. Preventing them from learning though natural consequences. And stunting their decision making skills. So it's a self fulfilling prophecy, if you micromanage someone you will end up creating incompetence, as we know all too well from the workplace.

I cannot wait for the uprising or revolution to come against this in the decades to come. And I hope it will be spectacular. It's not a matter of if, it's just when.

> "As adults, we don't always stop to consider how everything we say and do shapes the impressions of young people, but if you're judging us, as a people, by the way we treat our children - and I think there can be no better criterion - then you must understand how deeply we care for them."

And it's reminiscent of a controlling partner who doesn't allow his wife to go out at night, over an absolute deep feeling of care for her. That still doesn't make it acceptable.

Also "give me liberty, or give me death". A thought experiment: As an adult, would you choose personal freedom over other adults controlling your life, even if that control was found to actually make you more successful in life?

> "When Clara grows up, she will make rules for her children, to protect them - as we protect her"

Well, for me I'm not having children at all because of how society treats and micromanages them, especially teenagers. And when I was younger, I have even encouraged other people not to have children too (!). Take that, dogmatists (I'm not speaking against the original poster of this phrase, I'm just speaking towards society in general, especially those people who coddle children).

Of course it matters, that's why I brought up the point that each state in the USA is supposedly small enough to have local governance, that they have enough state-level freedoms to solve localised problems and exactly why I compare the scale of Texas to all of the Nordics as they are very similar in GDP and population.
That's a fairly bad faith argument. The earth neither has agency or insurance of its own to pay out costs.

If instead someone comes and burns down my house, I would hate it if they only had to give me a "equivalent functionality" tent in the wilderness because the law considers all shelters to be equal.
