I think a lot of people have a lot of opinions on any kind of feedback that is related to, "OpenAI took everyone's content and is now profiting off of it.".

The way I see it, the biggest losers are the average consumers. If you got skin in the game and you know how to automate the OpenAI API at scale - you're winning big. Google can't keep up with what is real or what isn't if you actually put in the work to structure the output in a useful manner. This can be done very efficiently and at scale if you know what you are doing.

So, not only is OpenAI winning but so are people who know how to build content websites and know how to get them to rank. The repetitive content cycle has always been a problem on the web (which is more the reason why places like HN are so great to find actual first-person experiences), but it is about to get amplified a hundredfold.

What OpenAI did is give everyone access to the Internet's content and let everyone mash it together in a way that fits their agenda. Everything that came before ChatGPT (and GPT-4) is pretty much rendered "the past". I'd definitely be pissed. That content was always there, of course. But before all this, you actually had to manually put in the work and the hours to try and piece together multiple key points from 10 different sources to create one unique perspective. OpenAI took a massive dookie on all that and just said fuck it. Let the genie out of the box and let us take a massive cut of the profits in the process.

I have zero doubt in my mind that OpenAI knew exactly what they were doing. They knew what kind of lawsuits or other complaints were going to come their way. And they still went ahead and released it anyway. And they're about to go even more crazy with Plugins. I'm not expecting this to happen per se, but I do have a gut feeling that some kind of brakes are going to be put on all this because whether you agree or not, this whole thing is out of control and not being controlled properly at all.
I disagree about 75 being a fairly mild dose. For a 200lbs male maybe. For a 100lbs female definitely not.
"The mind makes it real"

If you search for patterns in your "input data" you will find them. If you search for the patterns enough, your "mind" will automate the process. Then you have those "patterns" in your "normal" perception.

An example: if focus on the noice floor of you hearing for a few days you will begin to perceive tinnitus.

My hypothesis would be that the man from the article took the drug, became scared cause he perceived scan lines in is visual perception, then placed loots of attention on the scan lines to determine if they would go away. The attention he placed on the scan lines strengthened the perceptions and now he can’t undo the conditioning he did to his visual processing system.

It's at the same time pure microkernel and performant and usable in real world (not just a research project).

The memory management, scheduling and IPC are implemented in an interesting and novel way (compared to your typical mainstream OS) and allow for quite different OS design.

In particular, capability-based IPC and memory management could provide a robust base for a secure OS from the ground up, instead playing whackamole in an aging POSIXish design.

Sadly (tho I understand the rationale), most approaches to building a full OS on top of (L4 in general) are "run userspace Linux in an isolated container", which kind of ignores all the power underneath.
Don't know why I thought it was French. Can't find anything about where they are on Wikipedia.

As for the link, are you talking about the "app" or the web version? Of course the "app" is collecting anything that it can. Don't install it.
> But I've never understood the use case of reminders in Keep at all, so I wouldn't be surprised if they deprecate that feature entirely. Keep reminders came before Tasks existed at all, but now you should just use Tasks.

Keep reminders intuitively made sense to me. They're sticky notes that you can label/index/search. Reminders allow you to be reminded of a specific note, which I find tremendously useful. Also location based reminders are great, e.g. grocery list that pops up when you're at the store.

"Tasks" suffered from the obvious- they were integrated in Gmail through labs and then calendar widget, but then keep reminders and assistant reminders appeared on the calendar. It was confusing. Keep makes it relatively simple, though you're right, it can be deprecated soon. Still not sure I'm ready to use "Tasks" yet.
I agree with OP to some extent here. A phone is critical “infrastructure”. A high bar is basically a given at this point if you’re trying to pitch someone to use your product. Or it’ll remain an experiment and never go mainstream. Apple prioritized experience over features early. Might be something these projects should consider if they are serious about adoption.
"and especially the EU, which was mostly built on the basis of confrontation with Russia"

Is that a US point of view? As a european, it is the first time I heard this.

(Edit: I mean yes, it was founded under the assumption of soviet threat, but it was not constructed especially against russia, which is how I read your comment)

The NATO was constructed against communist russia.

But the reasons for the founding of the EU are more complex, but mostly they were for .. europa. Not to become dependant on russia, nor USA. Stand on its own. Interconnecting economically, to not have a big war again.

And large parts of europe would actually love to get back to also freely trading with russia. Eastern europe (starting in east germany) had tight industrial relationships with russia and were therefore also hit hard by the sanctions.

Now it seems hard, to imagine going back while Putin is in power, but 15 years ago, it all looked very different. With a radical change of leadership in russia, it would look different again.

Russia is huge and has lots of ressources, they would be welcomed back for sure.
What's wrong with the guy from texas that he shouldn't do it?
There was a statistic saying that top 10% of income earners pay something like 80% of all income taxes (not exact numbers but you get the gist).
Yeah, I feel like this as well, at least to a degree. With a new blank project, you have to design, structure and setup everything from scratch, which can feel extremely overwhelming. It's one of the reasons I haven't finished an entire game, or CMS, or other such project on my own despite being a programmer for decades. I end up stuck in the weeds of how to structure the feeling, and go down a bunch of random computer science and best practices rabbit holes in the process.

But hey, I guess it's a spectrum that all programmers fall somewhere on. You might be good at starting things from scratch, you might be good at polishing up and improving existing projects, or you might be somewhere in between.
The EU absolutely did not force micro-usb. It was a strongly worded suggestion at a time when it seems we were already moving that way.

There's some pretty kooky claims and generally bizarre statements buried in the filing, such as:

* "Altman and the other parties to this suit are increasing the risk of global human extinction or actual world domination by a small set of individuals for a chance to personally gain extended lifespans. It is the reasonable explanation for taking such massive risks with this technology and flaunting the law so obviously."

* "OpenAI and at least one of its partners most likely filled social media like Twitter, Facebook, and Reddit with politically charged commentary designed to push votes towards the Democrat party." (And no, the filing doesn't provide any substantial evidence for this assertion.)

* "Y Combinator is, according to ChatGPT, the most notable Tech Accelerator in the world. A screenshot of ChatGPT-3.5 stating this is included as Exhibit L."

* "Open-source and closed-source, not-for-profit and for-profit, are binary choices, or Booleans. Booleans are a form of data with only two possible values, which are typically opposites. When defendants drastically changed the Boolean values that structure [OpenAI]... the founding mission went from ‘true’ to ‘false.’"
>It's ridiculous they haven't got an estate (station wagon) at all yet

I think it's because consumer demand in the last decade has shifted from estates to SUVs which is horrible.
Of course there are many Russians that want an end to the regime. At least, every Russian I know. Why wouldn't they?
I'm currently working on a greenfield project that is a rewrite of a smaller portion of a larger app I worked on several years ago. Normally I wouldn't advocate for a rewrite, but the business has since been re-imagined and vastly simplified. Incidentally, I'm also doing it in Elixir.

Not only do you not suffer from the "blank page", you can are privy to all the mistakes made before. Of course, you're now open to make a bunch of new mistakes, but that's ok—there's still the benefit of tons of knowledge from the original project.

Furthermore, the Elixir ecosystem really helps mitigate that "too many tools" feeling.
Forget *asking* a sociopath about his feelings. He will lie every time.

Sociopaths easily fool even "professional" psychologists and psychiatrists. This explains why it is frequently undiagnosed.

IMO, to really diagnose it with any degree of accuracy would require electronic monitoring for brain activity or involuntary emotional responses --- or the lack thereof --- while being exposed to various stimuli.

https://xkcd.com/1053/

I don’t generally like obligatory xkcd references, but this one is an exception. I like how it reminds us that our experiences are not universal, and people have all kinds of experience spatterings, even if we may come from a shared cultural background. And, instead of the inclination to feel superior to someone who doesn’t know a thing, we can instead feel pleased to share our beloved cultural touchstones.
I had the exact same experience. I might even have some comments on an old HN account complaining about HA's disregard for upgrade stability. After another broken upgrade, I finally decided to just fix my install at a certain update in March 2022 and leave it there. I left it there for over a year, until I wanted a few newer features. I carved out a chunk of my weekend to make sure I had time to fix whatever broke with everything and... nothing broke after catching up on a full year of updates. It's now faster, just as reliable, and has more features than before.

Home Assistant is finally ready for primetime in the average technical user's home.
You think the shareholders of the non-profit's for-profit subsidiary should sue themselves for profiting from a non-profit?

That doesn't make sense and is completely backwards. The allegedly damaged party is society, with the major shareholders as defendants.

As a pro se litigant this probably won't go far. But the directionality of the suit seems correct.
While I agree, what's puzzling to me is the subtext around this -- why does Altman's take matter on this? Or does Altman's take on everything matter now because GPT is the answer to everything and Altman is its father?

As a stroke of timely irony, we really need a GPT product that will critique this kind of garbage journalism, including hot takes by AI fathers, denouncing & shaming them from the rooftops of the internet.
The only thing Google can be depended on to do with lower volume products and services is kill them. The same seems to apply to services with no way to run ads.

I'm kind of amazed that Google Voice is still around, though at this point it may be tied in with Google Fi and letting them lean on each other.
Only time will tell. As of yet, all we have is warnings.
More or less, yes. The exact details vary from system to system: TPMs were built for PCs where firmware and OSes are diverse, so TPM works off boot measurements and hash functions. On phones all the attestation stuff runs on a separate processor with only one kind of firmware and it gets told by the main processor whether or not the user installed a custom ROM (in which case, no attestation for you).

This is because the people in the "need attestation yesterday" camp specifically do not want a system in which device owners can lie about their attestation status, because:

- For streaming video platforms, the whole point of trusting attestation is to prevent owner tampering, because they want to ensure that you aren't retaining any video past your subscription end date

- For banks, they want to protect you from hackers, rather than themselves from you, so an owner override "should" be tolerable. However, banks also work entirely off of risk assessments and probabilities. And the number of owners genuinely overriding their own attestations so they can run custom ROMs is lower than the number of hackers who would attack the override so they can steal credit card numbers. So in practice the attestation is a fraud signal[0], and allowing overrides at all is like allowing hackers to falsify your fraud data.

[0] Specifically a signal that something is NOT fraudulent, since all the correct, unmodified software was run
And there’s no way to get to the post to share it with others. It feels like an insiders club, like Facebook when it first started, except you can go to any other social network and it actually works. I think blue sky is going to end up like hello. A very late attempt at reinnovating an existing solution.

The biggest “killer feature” is also its biggest detractment. The existing cool kids are already invited and building their base. Little people like you and me (regardless of our successes and personal prestige) are still excluded. I will continue to regard this as just another echo chamber
VW software is anything but satisfactory if car reviewers and car owners are anything to go by.
Almost, it is the prince of memory corruption bugs, the throne belongs to Assembly.
Then it's very childish.

It's the responsibility of legislators and regulators to be clear and precise -- to mean what they say and say what they mean. To "punish" a company for following a law, because of something the law doesn't actually say, is not what rule of law means, and would be a shameful thing. No company should have to intuit or guess what the government "really" meant, over and above what the law actually says.

The EU can go ahead and revise the law, giving companies time to adapt again. That's fine -- that's how it's supposed to work. But some kind of "warning" to "do something we didn't say in the law" is just plain wrong.

Agreed, I think so too. Bing is a shitty search engine and them forcing it to use bing's results to answer questions, makes it a really bad gpt.

But for the record, I think Bing has a much better personality than GPT. If only it wasn't limited to it's own horrible search engine. If it could use Google for example, or a better data source, it would be perfect.

> with the C++ library onnxruntime emerging as the quickest route to hardware optimization. However, this library presents substantial challenges due to its 20 distinct execution providers

> Mojo's current appeal lies [...] in its ability to improve the optimization process for inference at a lower level

Will Mojo be supporting the same targets as the ONNX runtime? The appeal of ONNX was never the quickness aspect of it to me, but rather the hardware support. I think a lot of people are in the same boat, and won't be ready to switch over until esoteric Rockchip and PowerPC support is eked out.

Offering a form of IR between these formats isn't a bad idea, but it sorta seems like it backsteps into the same complexity problem if it wants to compete with offerings like ONNX.
I work with clojure and test driven development is not nearly as productive as repl driven development imo.

Check out the book, "Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle".

Nope, there are zero ads in NewPipe. No ad blocker needed!
Backlit screens are not found in nature too. Maybe 100% black is appropriate in that unnatural environment. It's great on my screen.
Haven't used it in six years but back in the days it was Piwik it was ideal: easy to set up locally, a good range of features and a friendly community (v. responsive to an upgrade issue we experienced but apart from that everything worked exactly as expected).
Putin made some comments in the early 2000's to the effect that Russia sees itself as part of the European culture and might like to be part of the EU, but it wants its own viewpoint on things to be respected. I suspect the latter is a crucial caveat. Presumably he'd never be okay with implementing a liberal democracy to EU standards or signing up to EU defence policy.

On the other side, I suspect that none of the existing EU members would be happy with having a new one that's so much larger in population than any of the others that it'd gain effectively a veto power over everything, to say nothing of the domestic political issues with potential east-to-west migration.
> nobody wants Russia and especially the EU, which was mostly built on the basis of confrontation with Russia

This is laughably misinformed. What the E.U. was built on has absolutely nothing to do with Russia. There have been ups and downs over the last couple of centuries, but neither France nor Germany are particularly russophobe.
I am complete opposite.

Not that I mind messy pages or projects, I love to refactor and clean up. Just new projects always give you a chance to do really well and clean.
It's probably the best managed Kubernetes out there. People just like to make hyperboles. The consumer stuff, especially the free ones, get abandoned every now and then, but the "enterprise" services are pretty good.
That's what the parent is saying. The new digital thermostats have some nice features without the stupidity that is IoT connectivity that allows the parent corporation to screw you over when they get bored.

I personally would not consider anything IoT because anything connected to the internet is a) a vector for intrusion into my network and b) has a lifetime measured in single digit years. Anything going into a home should realistically have a lifetime of at minimum ten years. For capital improvements like a furnace or thermometer connected to it (or a washing machine, or a stove), it should be measured in decades. Even lightbulbs aren't that disposable anymore thanks to LEDs.

Google discards things after a handful of years. Anything cellphone related has a lifetime of 5 years max, and for most it's more like 2 to 3.

Keep that shit away from my home and my car.

IMHO, as someone who worked in the German auto and semi industry, from my outside perspective, the main reason VW spun off Cariad to give it more independence form the crusty old mothership hoping this would lead to more innovations not possible within an org as big and as old as VW, and then they fucked it all up by putting the same crusty execs from the auto industry in charge at Cariad SW and it lead to the same dumpster fire as if it were part of VW group anyway, and then everyone was shocked things didn't work out the way they hoped.

It's a mistake I keep seeing repeated in many big German SW companies: put in charge some old geezer from traditional industry who has a PhD from a well known German uni, who hasn't wrote any code in over 20 years, and has a top-down approach to SW dev like his team was designing car engines in the '80's. Then realize things aren't working out, give him a golden parachute and hire another overpaid crusty guy just like him but from another big company to shake up the org and ultimately achieve the same "results". Rinse and repeat.

The problem is with German corporate leadership mentality which is highly traditional and therefore strictly top-down and nobody at the top is up to date on the shit-show the SW devs are dealing with in the trenches, nor do they care to address this. It's a tragedy of the commons.
How practically meaningful is the efficiency delta even of 60% (i.e. small-stature female compared to large-stature male)?

You need to take food with you and have a closed-loop air and water supply whatever the crew looks like, as well as engines, communications, engineering equipment, science payloads, etc, etc. How much does it cost to overspec the "metabolic system" by 60% in that context?

Then again, making everything the size of a 1.5m person rather than for 1.9m people would save on a lot of structural material and therefore mass and fuel[1].

But then again again, how much of the size of the ship is dictated by the size of the crew and how much by other non-biological need?

Works really well for legislation, too. GPT4 can pick up on deltas between bills using markup like <strike> if kept in the document, summarizing changes to the bill as it moves through the legislative process.

The only challenge is chunking the larger bills and synthesizing the larger summary without losing out on possible nuances. Something like California's SB423, for example, is over twice the 8K token limit and that's not even a large bill.

Unfortunately, things like the US Code or Code of Federal Regulations are in the range of 100s of millions of tokens.
So you are dreaming to 'control' another country and surprised when the country in question refuses to be controlled. What's in for them in that arrangement?

Even funnier is another comment where Russians should risk their lives to overthrow their government and (implicitly) betray millions of their compatriots in order to supply Europe with their cheap 'ressources'. Using Molotov cocktails. Where's the carrot?
