This has definitely been my experience.

I experiment every so often with ChatGPT, usually having it create a simple multiplayer browser-based app with a server-side backend. The most recent being a collaborative pixel art app similar to /r/place.

Usually by the time ChatGPT generates something that actually works, after some guidance and generally minimal code edits (usually due to its context loss), I could've written a far more optimized version myself. Its capabilities are still extremely impressive nonetheless and I look forward to future iterations of this technology. Super nice tool to have for mundane code generation and it'll only get better.

Really wish I could use anything like this at work to generate tests... it's really good at that.
Reading or writing data from or to a cassette tape is not something I would like to relive.
I'm not 100% on youtube's algorithm, but I believe one of the points it hammers is that it's no longer about catering to the video but rather the viewer. So rather than think about weekly releases to play into the algorithm, it's generally better to focus on higher quality content that keeps people/your subs engaged throughout.

Schedules are important for fans, it's easier to grasp that they can check youtube at a certain day and see your new video over hoping they enable notifications. However if the schedule is far too much for you to handle, don't force a weekly schedule! There are plenty of channels doing great on a more spaced out release timing, but perhaps it's best to encourage some sort of schedule on yourself just to keep producing stuff.

As you said though you have to get to a point of feeling confident to even film yourself playing. That's your #1 over scheduling. Maybe livestreaming your practices could help with that, on the plus you would also have a bunch of livestreamed content you can edit down into future videos. Doesn't suit everyone and livestreaming is definitely its own challenge/realm, so it's just a suggestion! But I could see it being good for getting over that whole perfectionism angle we get ourselves into.

For music content specifically, it seems a lot of it revolves around the hopes of getting people aware of your content through fan stuff, and then pushing original stuff alongside it. So piano covers of video game music (for example) and then they also release original music; the former is easier to create/tag/practice, the latter establishes uniqueness amongst the sea of channels.
this is insightful yes, but the implication is that "control" itself is some kind of answer. The history of organized warfare, among many topics, speaks otherwise.
Yep, the grossness is obvious. When we go out for drinks with friends, we don't all drink out of the same cup do we?

I was at an out-of-town trip where someone had brought along a console, VR goggles and regular controllers. Everybody shared controllers as we went through rounds of elimination or what not.

But as soon as the first team using the the VR goggles took them off and handed it to those next in line, everyone realized they preferred controllers instead.
What I’ve read is that people let a kind of meta-chat run alongside the client interaction. The meta channel decides what parts of the history to retain so the primary channel doesn’t use as many resources. You could let GPT decide when it needs to see the whole context again etc. There’s a lot of interesting ways to let GPT handle it’s own scope, I think.
> Words frequently develop the opposite meaning of what they originally had

My favourite examples, because it also emphasizes some kind of ambiguity in the concept itself, are the english words "host", "hosting", "hospitality", "hostile", "hostage", with roots in the latin "hostis" (enemy), and the indo-european "ghosti" (guest, stranger).
both are 2020.
Even if I agreed with all the points (I don't, because unexperienced people with zero work behind them have the most voting power, while interests of people who spent 40 years building the world will be ignored by every rational politican because old age deprives them of voting power), the first half of the described system is a fragile logistical nightmare.
We're moderately frugal (eat organic food, paid activities for the kids, live in CA), and our kids are on track to cost us each about 80k before university. That's less than a year salary for most HN readers.

Temperatures can increase without going in a straight line up (eg, last year may have been cooler than the year before, but it's still up overall and continuing to go up).

Saying what you said in your original comment is akin to, "Look, it's January and I just made a snowman, so much for global warming huh?".
From what I've seen, the problem is not with the GPT models, but the people themselves. Almost everyday I get multiple unstructured, unclear and often without required context requests from people that I need to iterate back and forth with additional questions to get a clear view what they're trying to achieve. The only thing GPT is "stupid enough" is that it's not prompted to ask questions back to clarify the request.

The keel is a factor but bigger factor are the sails. Modern sailboats are fore-and-aft rigged which can sail closer to the wind. Gotheburg is square-rigged which can barely sail upwind.

Square-rigged allowed for more sail. It also worked better for larger ships since had lots of little sails instead of one big one.

No they wouldn't, mid-life parents with multiple kids would have the most voting power.

For instance a 50 year old with kids who are 10, 12, and 14 would have 30 + 35 + 34 + 33 = 132 votes, roughly. A 20 year old kid would only have about 60.

Not sure what's logistically fragile about it either? There are records of who is the kid of who.

The word "lurk" doesn't exactly exist in French. "se rôder" fits in some cases, but another translation "se cacher" (to hide) fits others. I'd write "X crept into Y" as "X s'est glissé dans Y", but that has a connatation moreso as an accidental short-term mistake. I don't know how I'd express the idea concisely in French. Also hard to tell exactly how he wanted to convey it, something between "crept", "were hidden", "were lurking" probably? As I've discovered the hard way, there is not always an analogous term for the same fundamental idea/concept between two given languages; mastering the nuances of these differences is important for proper fluency. I probably make errors like this frenquently writing/speaking French.
The second request produced a roll.
Meaning is not macro replacement.

If we suppose that "comprised" means "consists of", it does not follow that "comprised of" means "consists of of".

(Setting aside, for a moment, that "comprised" does not mean "consists of").

Just like "make" possibly meaning "create" doesn't imply that "make up" can turn into "create up".

To comprise means for something to contain certain components (usually with a nuance that the list of components is complete). Since at least the 18th century, it has been used in a reverse way: components can comprise the whole. Charles Dickens used it in this reverse sense. It is from this reverse usage that the participial adjective arises: if components can comprise the whole, the whole is comprised of those components. Both the reverse usage and the adverb have been disputed, but are now hundreds of years old. The popularity of the participial adjective has wildly increased in the last half century.

There is a logical reason behind the the reversal of comprise that doesn't seem to get discussed.

Because comprise has a completeness nuance, it is actually a form of equivalence: if X comprises of parts A, B and C, it means it is equal to those parts. There is nothing else to X but A, B and C. Since equivalance commutes, comprise is expected to follow suit: A, B and C comprise X.

Comprise really means something like "exactly covers" or "corresponds to in an exhaustive whole/part relationship".

All that has happened is that we have lifted the restriction that the left operand of comprise must be the aggregate, and the right operand be the individual items.

This is true to an extent here as well but it's definitely not the majority of people. Im not looking, but the audio timing gives it away most of the time.

The real givaway comes from push doors where only air driers exist and people don't exit using a butt push or similar. You can typically see a days worth of fingerprints on the metal rectangle commonly found on these doors.

I'm pretty sure it's a joke: those were better alternatives but they're equally valid now and it's time for the author to let the language change and move on.
Haha, it's the "we wanted to party and not study and we didn't tell you because you aren't pretty" is hilarious. It definitely makes the story sound fake even if it is true.

we have just found (in the 20th century) something that I think is as BIG as writing itself.

Writing taken as the underlying technology behind (or under?) the concept of LAW itself (hence, a foundation for the notion of 'rule of, by, from, LAW" and everything and anything founded on this notions has become candidate for revision and re-evaluation).

all because we invented a way to write that can change itself; this is usually better known as computing. I write some words that say how some other words must change.

It really is all substitutions of arbitrary symbols (or sequences of symbols) for other symbols (or sequences thereof) all the way to the bottom. At the bottom there's a first number and a huge debate (and confusion) around whether this first number is one or zero (LOL).
Well, that's not much of a value argument, just a statement of reality that entropy exists and everything becomes crap over time without maintenance.

Relevant recent announcement by Mozilla regarding their acquisition of an e-commerce product/review scoring "AI" service, with the intent to integrate it into the core Firefox browser: https://blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/fakespot-joins-mozilla-f...

Mozilla will be algorithmically profiling you and your actions on covered platforms, and if it ever decides you are a fraud or invalid for some reason, it very conveniently advertise this accusation to all its users by default. Whether you will be able to sell your stuff or have your expressed opinion of a product be appreciated and heard by Firefox users will be in Mozilla's hands.

A fun fact that serves to show what these companies are willing to throw overboard just to gain the smallest of edges, or perhaps simply to display relevance by participating in the latest trends: the original company's business strategy was essentially Mozilla's Manifesto in reverse, and included such things as selling all collected data to all third parties (at least their policies openly admitted to this). The person behind all that is now employed by Mozilla, the privacy proponent.

Recognize when you are doing linear algebra and don’t do linear algebra on non-linear representations.

Considering the fact that the Phoenix area is rapidly growing, I would propose that new development focuses on transit oriented design, smarter zoning, and improved land use. It would even benefit municipalities financially to discourage unproductive land use that don’t drive tax revenue, like parking lots.

When we talk about razing and rebuilding, it’s notable that this has already happened in our history. That’s how we have interstate highways cutting through urban areas and the destruction of the passenger rail network which was effectively razed and replaced by highways. Many big box stores and parking lots replace buildings that were destroyed (see before and after photos of downtown Houston, for example).

Most American cities outside of the coasts wouldn’t even exist without a railroad network that largely no longer exists.

These are all conscious choices and there’s no such thing as being stuck with cars-only infrastructure forever. The defeatism of saying that we are stuck with cars-only is a lie. After all, interstates regularly need billions of dollars of periodic investment just to keep them functional. Many states continually decide to do things like add lanes and enhanced interchanges at eye-watering costs that aren’t too dissimilar from the cost of adding new rail service.

For example, what if instead of spending $20 Billion in today’s dollars on the big dig in Boston, the elevated highway was simply demolished and the rest of the insane costs that were sunk into an underground highway went into expanding the commuter rail network and making a better rail connection to Logan airport (the blue line already nearly goes there with a short airport bus transfer, which could be further improved). That would reduce traffic in downtown Boston rather than expanding traffic by adding lanes and making driving more attractive than alternatives. This is already one of America’s most walkable cities but the highway was moved underground rather than removed.

$20 billion is so much money that entire new commuter rail lines could have been built for that price.
The biggest risk is machines running out of hand and squishing all of us like a bug by accident. Once pseudo-intelligent algorithms are running every part of industry and engaging in global human communications it only takes minor errors to cascade and amplify into a real problem, one that will be moving faster than we can react to.

Think stock market flash crash, replacing digital numbers that can be paused and reset with physical activity in supply chains, electrical grids, internet infrastructure, and interactions in media and interpersonal communication.
