Actually, the very wealthy pay significantly lower tax rates than the rest of us. This isn't just ego and envy, the very wealthy have undue influence over politics; democracy is fundamentally broken by the ability of billionaires to buy politicians and even supreme court justices. Billionaires have broken the social contract.

Whereas NVIDIA is basically just “we’re an AI company now”.
A friend told me this story: He works for a large company as a software developer. He made a PR to change a compiler setting. It was rejected because the build team believed it would cause them to have to add more machines to the build fleet, and they hadn’t met with the finance team to discuss that, yet. I wouldn’t have thought that changing a compiler setting would require capital expenditures, but here we are.
I haven’t watched the content OP is mentioning, but Linus has a lot of industry connections so it seems very believable he’d be able to get in touch with someone who knows more about the situation.
Is mainstream media designing a user-specific content feed that is adjusted to your specific preferences? Your argument sounds similar to the one used against arguments of an encroaching police state: sure it has been done before but not at this scale or with this level of sophistication.

> large bi-partisan opposition against Sweden's Nato entry

Turkey has been trying to get into the EU for decades. I've seen nothing that suggests that's because they want to move closer to European social, political and commercial customs. After all, they could do that without the EU, if that was what they wanted.

So I conclude that they just want budget handouts.

And I also conclude that their opposition to Sweden joining NATO is because it would humiliate Turkey if Sweden joins, while Turkey is still standing outside the EU, hoping.

FWIW, I don't think Turkey should be in NATO; and I don't think they should be in the EU. Not until they have some kind of reasonable governance.
“Traffic congestion since the companies' introductions in urban areas is up by 0.9% and the duration of a jam increased 4.5%” less than 1% increase hardly seems significant when compared to other things that are increasing traffic.

They sell printers at a loss and make the money back on ink sales. You can get printers with refillable ink tanks from all (three) major manufacturers, but they cost significantly more because they aren't subsidized by ink sales

American politicians have recently been on a bit of a catch up for lost time.

And obviously some (at all levels from cities up) have been working away for decades. And that's not even counting the rest of the world where climate change is less of a political hot potato. Though yes more could and should have been done.

So I'm not sure a blanket "politicians are terrible" is a particularly good take. It both lets the real guilty parties off the hook while simultaneously blaming the blameless.

No. People want to do things like summarization, sentiment analysis, chatting with the user, or doing a task given by the user, which will take an arbitrary string from the user. That arbitrary string can have a prompt injection in it.

You could be very strict on what you pass into to ensure nothing capable of being a prompt makes it in (eg. only allowing a number), but a LLM probably isn't the right tool in that case.
I just want to be clear, because this headline is borderline clickbait.

HP is not bricking the printers. The printers will continue to work if you put the HP cartridges back in.

I'm not condoning HP at all, not in a million years.

But the verb "disable" carries connotations of permanence, so it seems like a disingenuous word choice at best, if it's not outright clickbait. Just so people aren't confused here.
Looks it has just been completed and is now ready to be put into action.
If "not bad, actually" is the best praise we can give these new TLDs, then it still feels like the downsides far outweigh the potential issues.

Google bought these TLDs. Google also owns Chrome. When you type "something.zip" into the Chrome toolbar, it used to search for it. Now it takes you to a URL. Is that the most widespread vector for attack? Probably not. But at the very least, it's super annoying for people searching for a certain file.

I'm yet to see a single compelling reason why they should exist; the best defense has been "well yeah there's a ton of issues but _maybe_ it's not as bad as we think".
What you are saying shows you didn't actually tried to use ChatGPT. Maybe you interacted a bit with it, but you probably never tried to actually work with it.
Gamers Nexus Failure Analysis report of the AMD Ryzen 7800X3D CPUs that exploded on our test benches -- some as a result of over-current, some as a result of degradation leading to failure. We worked with an external Failure Analysis Lab to evaluate the result of AMD 7800X3D CPUs getting too much voltage (VSOC especially) and likely too much current, especially in scenarios where ASUS OCP fails to do anything useful. This complements our prior Root Cause Analysis we performed in part 1, linked below, and uses a scanning electron microscope, C-mode scanning acoustic microscopy, and more to investigate a burned CPU that came out of an ASUS board.

VanJS (Vanilla JavaScript) – A 1.2kB Reactive UI Framework Without React/JSX
I doubt you have have any problem convincing that printers are goods that you own and the EULA is meaningless. Eulas already are questionable from a legal standpoint as they don't really meet the standards of a contract.
Suburbs are where the common citizenry beat a strategic retreat - the war for the cores of our major cities was lost long ago to the allied forces of the ultra rich and homeless drug users. I don't even think the war analogy is sensational...we were literally pushed out of our own inner cities by an invading army.

Short of nuclear war, I don't see the number of homeless drug users ever declining in major US cities, ever. There are more today than last month. There will be more next year than today. We lost, they won. But we have to live somewhere.

Soon the best suburbs will be gated if not already....gated communities don't have homeless drug users. In the next ten years I predict there will be a membership-only suburb with a population over 100k.
I understand doing this from a red-team perspective, but what is the point in actual usage?

I see GPT as a tool to make "my life easier", help me with tedious stuff, maybe point out some dark corners etc

Why would I go and try to break my hammer when I need it to actually put the nails in?

Will there be users doing that? Sure!

Will I be doing that?

Not really, I have real issues to take care of and GPT helps do that.

Maybe I'm missing something, but this is more like sql-injection with php/mysql - yes, it's an issue and yes, we need to be aware of it.

Is it a "nuclear bomb"-type issue?

I would say no, it isn't.

#off-topic: I counted at least 4 links (in the past 2 weeks!) to Simon's website for articles spreading basically FUD around GPT. Yes, it's a new technology and you're scared - we're all a bit cautious, but let's not throw out the baby with the bathwater, shall we?

It may not be that terrible security-wise, but it’s just plain stupid to add .zip and .mov as tlds.

I mean WHY?! Why the fuck do we need more tlds? And even if we needed new tlds, in the billions of possible choices, why would you choose something that confusing?!

A good way to explore is getting an interactive session with something like pry and exploring what methods and attributes are available that way. It sounds clunky, but it's quite effective as you frequently get to play through the entire implementation once and it pairs extremely well with TDD.
Companies never announce change of direction like you seem to think. There is no positive outcome in doing so. Instead they announce the new thing and promise to continue to support the old thing and then just don’t.

You're absolutely right that North Korea could make the exact same demands if they allowed Twitter, and Twitter would find itself in the same situation. In fact this has already happened with the EU leadership as well, who have plentiful censorship laws to exploit, and were being publicly flexed. Some deal was eventually made there; it's quite unfortunate it was not publicly elaborated upon.

But in any case, this is nothing at all like what happened with the US. The US government did not make legal demands, as doing so which would have run into the First Amendment, but instead made 'suggestions' in back channels, which Twitter voluntarily chose to both abide and keep secret, even when they fully recognized it was being abused. There would have been no legal justification for doing anything to Twitter had these 'suggestions' been completely ignored. So Twitter's behavior was entirely on them.

As for "sides", after Twitter's decision 99.999% (or whatever absurd decimal it ends up as) of Turkey will retain full direct access to Twitter, instead of 0%. I doubt many of them will be thrilled about these events, and can now freely express that, Streisand effect and all. I don't think he's on the side of the people nor the government of Turkey, but rather he's simply doing what he can to enable the most people to be able to express themselves.
The other comments already covered this, but yes, that is arguably the correct use of features: only enable the features (many of which can only be set at file system creation time; others can be upgraded to in a one way direction) that are supported by your target hosts.

At the time you last ran it (also said by sibling comment), FreeBSD still had not yet ran upstream OpenZFS, and still ran their own older code. To have had FBSD compatibility at the time, you would have had to only enable the features FBSD supported.

Generating the file system on FBSD, and not running "zfs upgrade" on Ubuntu would be one way of doing this, to avoid having to manually set features at all.

Today this is not an issue, everyone runs the same code.
Perhaps an explanation is that the climate has changed? Some kind of warming of the globe?

One example of this is that Brewdog release quantities and precise instructions and notes so that enthusiasts can homebrew their favourite beers. I know because one of my colleagues spent a lot of money on computerised brewing gear and always has a homebrew or two in progress because he likes experimenting and tweaking things slightly.

But these people also still go to the pub to drink them on a night out or buy them in a can from time to time. The truth is that it's actually a lot of hassle to do homebrew well so that it tastes consistently good, and even ignoring the expensive equipment my friend has, he still probably pays more per pint to brew his own than just buying it pre-made. Obviously, he does both because he enjoys the process.
H100s are not sitting on shelves, even at the 35kUSD price sticker. Consumer GPUs, probably yes. Even for datacenter compute workloads that would not go for H100, the L40 is supposedly 3xA40 in FP32 FLOPs but still on the same memory bandwidth, so who knows what kind of performance you'll get whenever you can get your OEM to build you one......
The category of "tech literate enough to use zips but not enough to know not to blindly click links in emails and also aren't covered by their company's security policy" is a pretty niche group. Your grandpa isn't compressing zips and sending them around to family. Vast vast vaaaaast majority of people just use direct file uploads.

This is going to be a problem, but not for the average folk, but rather for IT teams with unstable rules and other software teams like Gmail who are likely to signal larger differences between attachments and just links.

HN is so bipolar.

This seems to be the top vote comment here, demanding jail time for CEOs for printers not working.

Meanwhile, the top comment on an article painstakingly detailing how a company is using every dirty trick in the book to get mentally incapable or distressed, etc people to sell homes to them at far below market value has a top comment basically saying “well, they signed a contract”.

Or maybe it’s as simple as this affects most HNers, so it’s the worst thing in the world, whereas that doesn’t, so people it does affect are just suckers.
I agree with you about non expert subjects and hallucination/believability.

But I disagree about time wasting. I use it to generate boilerplate code in languages I’m less familiar with, but can fill in the gaps. It’s stellar for that use case, scaffolding entire CRUD apps with DB connectors and specific libraries.
Right, but I do believe that it is important to choose something that scales competently:

> most won't ever reach the point where they need such a thing

I considered covering this argument in my gp comment. What if your startup does grow to the scale where it becomes an issue? Do you suspend new user signups until you can do the rewrite? Or do you just let things keep spiraling, like GitHub? Because by choosing RoR you are making an assertion up front: our startup will never scale beyond X users (because you're never going to get buy-in for a rewrite).
A friend of mine worked at a high-end car dealership. At one point, management caught wind of cocaine use and announced that there would be drug tests in two weeks' time. The entire sales department failed. Management said "okay guys we're going to pretend that the test must have been wrong, you can't all be on coke. We'll do the test again in two weeks." Two weeks and some days later, they were all fired. I've been aware of several day-drinkers at a variety of jobs. Cannabis too. On-site work comes with daily drinking and drug habits.
Haha I had the exact same thought. I still hear that “brrbrbrrrbrre” of the HDD arm frantically trying to deal with the overload of doing anything whatsoever.

Regarding your comment about behavioral management at scale. Carl Sagan once said: "If we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We're no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It's simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we've been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back."

It would be interesting to know if this were true in that case.
FWIW, the modern Catholic church's official stance is that Genesis should not be taken literally, and Catholics make up about half of the world's Christians. I think biblical literalism is mostly an American Evangelical thing.
Yes in Chinese. CPC is their preferred initialism in English.
It's also OK to go after the shady character spending all its effort manipulating and spying. I get lots of things do their best to do this, but this is the CCP in your living room. There should be a line somewhere.

The article (https://www.pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1073/pnas.2221996120) is paywalled, so I couldn’t check whether they compared the cooling effect with supplying a similar amount of water as is in the mushrooms and letting that evaporate.
The cynical answer might be that HP secretly updated their TOS so that the printer transaction is not a purchase but a long term rental on their terms. Not unlike “buying” a game on Steam or “buying” a Tesla. In both cases, you do something the vendor dislikes and your ownership is toast.
I've been using Rails for over a decade and worked on lots of different Rails code bases. Contrary to what you're saying, my experience is that the philosophy of "convention over configuration" usually makes it very easy to delve into a Rails project you don't know, as long as the developers didn't decide to go off the rails with experimentation.

Then of course you can find badly written code in any language, and if a quirky would-be rockstar creates a project thinking about art instead of readability and maintainability, they can definitely create an unmaintainable mess with Ruby on Rails - there is nothing preventing you from doing that.
> For any given user it is better to have denormalised data where the data model is perfectly aligned to their use case. For a system with multiple users it is better to have normalized data.

I don't see why you are making the distinction by single user or multi user. If you are writing information into the database, it has to be written into a normalized schema. There is no alternative, multi user or not. To do otherwise would be to maintain multiple sources of truth and nothing in the database would make sense if two different sources of data go out of sync. Make illegal states unrepresentable.

Also if you want to align your data model perfectly to a user you might as well use a single-table database like DynamoDB [1] where everything is screaming fast but the downside is you can't modify your schema at all (because it's already set in stone to perfectly model the old use case).

There's no sense clarifying things for the deliberately obtuse.
I think in fact most, if not all entrepreneurship is just knowledge arbitrage. People don’t have the time or skill to acquire the required skills, so they just pay someone else with the expertise to perform the task for them. This realisation in itself reduced my spending considerably, because yes, it does make most business feel exploitative. The food & sex industries are prime examples: if you know how easy it is to cook your own food or find a willing partner, it seems extremely foolish to pay for it. The main thing I’m struggling with now is restricted access to resources (for example medical equipment); this amounts to mandatory “stupidity” that governmental affiliates can exploit.
Then sell it for more.

Interesting. As an aphantasiac myself, I find it surprising that this person has such a negative perspective, wanting to "cure" his aphantasia.

As far as I know, aphantasia has never had any meaningful negative impact on my life. We just think without mental images, but we can solve the same kind of problems as the rest. That's why most of us don't even find out that we are different until we read about it somewhere on the Internet (in my case, in my 30s). How can something that has so little real-life impact that neither we nor our close persons can even notice be seen as a disorder to be cured?

I can understand being curious about how mental imagery is like. I'm curious, as well. But I think I'd still rather not start a "treatment" as it seems that I'm good at thinking without mental imagery (perhaps it has even made me better at symbolic and linguistic processing, as I seem to be better at that than most), and "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". Not sure that something that seems to quite fundamentally alter my way of thinking (to use a mental imagery that I would never be good at, I suppose) is a good idea. To each their own, of course.
So you'd have had more faith in the CEO if he had conjured a lot of smoke and mirrors to explain that nothing systemic was happening to their business and that there is nothing to worry about going forward?

Selling is likely to be the right move, but blaming the CEO?! There is literally nothing he can do in the near term to avoid losing users to ChatGPT-like services. Their business is likely doomed if they don't already have a rabbit in their hat.
Those files just reflect the publicly available Windows SDK, so it is pretty much ok to extract them - they reflect just a public domain knowledge. Actually, you can even create your own libraries with special tools like IMPLIB.
Sure; knowing the powers of 2 up to 2^32, and the first 20 digits of both pi and e, are great for providing geek cred.
Of course, it probably helps that, cloistered nerd that I am, I'd never heard of BwF/DOWN before, but reading this makes me feel like I'm on drugs. It's a deliriously perfect syncretic blend of a bog-standard "sage 'learnings' from my start-up experience" post you'd find on LinkedIn or something, and an avuncular, elbow-in-the-ribs "Silicon Valley"-like parody thereof. But it appears to be true! Excellent Saturday reading.
