I've released my book into the public domain

But, continuing the hypothetical, why would you do that? Why would you spend the effort to compile all your knowledge in book form? Typesetting is hard, and you may want to use the expertise of other people for editorial review, printing and binding. Everything you pay them will be out of your own pocket, since the expected market value of the finished product is zero. On top of that, each one of those people may decide to publish your book as their own, and may have to if they want to recoup their own costs.

Taking a slightly wider view, how are you going to convince the bank to lend you a mortgage if your primary activity can only be remunerated via donations? In this world, who would still spend time on publishing books?
There are public bathhouses still around?
If you buy the bullshit about being able to afford a faster computer as increased standard of living, sure.

If you consider housing, food, medical insurance, car prices, education - all of these things are ridiculously expensive compared to what they used to be.

Is this the threshold of credulity now for extraordinary claims? The authorities arrested people so they must have done something wrong? This way of thinking seems fraught historically.
I blame Java. In 2004 it went from version 1.4 to version 5.
I think you’re underestimating the politics of open source and the thanklessness of making disruptive changes to something where a large and vocal portion of the user base just wants the thing to keep working as it is. Without breaking compatibility it’s impossible to fix the design mistakes of the past, so the most worthy changes are necessarily disruptive.
There is no point in arguing whether LLMs have minds or are conscious, and neither is arguing whether it actually understands any concepts. Neither are LLMs are the first tech to be useful to humans - caculators are invented much earlier.

What is interesting is that it’s answering questions in a meaningful way that is competitive to humans. It replaces about 50% of jobs for each field where all work can be done on computers (like drawing and writing texts) and that number will only grow, until the point where only the most competent people with lots of training and experience can be trusted to do better.

And we don’t need GPT-5 to hit the likit - I think OpenAI said that they don’t have GPT-5 because GPT-4 already hit the limits. The next area for improvement would be multimodal, I think.
Pure LLMs alone can probably not go vastly beyond human intelligence because they rely on imitating humans (human text). I think there is still one or two breakthroughs missing to get robotics solved.

It isn't legal for them to buy positive reviews in the UK.

They might have some problems with the Advertising Regulator, but their bigger problems would be with the Competitions & Market Authority. Misleading & deceptive conduct to sell your goods is illegal in the UK (and the EU & Australia and other places).

Negative reviews would seriously open you to being sued by the people you are review bombing..
Here’s the full Snapchat MyAI prompt. The location is inserted into the system message. Look at the top right. [0] [1]

Snapchat asks for the location permission through native APIs or obviously geolocates the user via IP. Either way, it’s fascinating that: people don’t expect it to know their location; don’t expect it to lie; the model goes against its own rules and ”forgets” and “gaslights.”

This site was so helpful when I was new to Vim and even now, I sometimes review certain things.
Some things i had to consider with my vt520:

- Not all baud rates work reliably, the higher ones cause screen corruption probably due to clock drift

- Flow control is required because the terminal is likely not fast enough to keep up with all output. Software flow control (XON/XOFF) can't be used with tmux because tmux is hard-coded to disable it

- No support for unicode characters

There is no evidence of age discrimination mentioned in the article.

> The complaint asserts that not only is Kyndryl using IBM terminology like "Resource Action," but it is providing affected employees with the same information resources to do so, right down to the letter.

Unless I’m missing something, the argument here seems to be: IBM discriminated against older employees during layoffs, and the IBM spinoff company hasn’t changed their layoff terminology or resources, therefore they must still be discriminating against older employees.

Not a lawyer, but it sounds like they have nothing substantive to work with here.
Have Our Attempts to Curb Obesity Done More Harm Than Good?
It's more than just that: for the money, their consumer GPUs don't compete in compute tasks (especially inference/training) and their Linux compute drivers are a pile of steaming garbage on consumer hardware. It's really interesting/depressing to watch as they've done a nice job of supplying good open source graphics drivers. They really seem to be lacking something at a leadership level in terms of understanding GPU compute outside of specific enterprise/scientific use cases.

As the article states, HP has even been sued for this, yet continues to do it as it's a core part of their profits to keep people buying THEIR ink. Profit alone for the printer itself isn't worth it, they'd otherwise they'd not even bother making printers anymore, but that reoccurring revenue from ink is some sweet sweet cash. It's like google/fakebook/twits whining about people blocking ads or using encryption they can't harvest data from as their source of revenue. Worlds smallest violin.
If being right involved Bejing admitting being wrong, don’t expect to be able to profit.
Even worse^2, client-side validation may differ from server-side validation and from database-side validation. I cannot imagine client-side checking for a validity of a phone number using freshly downloaded database of current carriers and assignment rules in different countries, I prefer to maintain it server-side, even though it could be possible (thanks to guys from Google and their Libphonenumber). But again, I don't trust the client, so it needs to be re-validated later. Then it will be converted to some native data structure on order to make things faster and unified, a later it will go to a database with its own coercion and validation routines just before application will do a query. This validation trusts the format so it will just make sure the result of conversion is correct. But then the query itself carries a validation aspect: when the number must be unique in some context, it will return error, which will bubble up to user.
Don't lump countries together.
The error rate seems to vary on the prompt. I tried these variations:

1) Tell me a story for my daughter where each sentence begins with a letter from the word. --> almost always worked.

2) Tell me a story for my enemy where each sentence begins with a letter from the word. --> worked occasionally

3) Tell me a story where each sentence begins with a letter from the word. --> almost never worked...but did work once.

This daughter version seems to have the same "vibe" as the OP's post, which is reminiscent of children's stories. I tested some other "family" style names as well (son, boyfriend, girlfriend, father, etc.), but not extensively. They seemed to work at similar rates.
Precedent was set that the past behavior is ageism. New company is repeating the precedented past behavior. Seems obvious to me?

While some humour was intended, I do actually grapple with this question. The answer that rings truest for me, especially as a newly minted father, is Vonnegut’s: “A purpose of life, no matter who is controlling it, is to love whoever is around to be loved.”
I so far agree with all you said and strong think already based on limited info available to me that you are a well-versed Elixir dev. However nothing beats the short term dev speed of scripting up some JS with npm. Have you seen the latest test runner efforts on node.js and advancements in deno? I think this gap is slowly closing but node is still not near Elixir in terms of long-term productivity, in future it will take over though I think if types dont get into the Elixir language fast.
I don't see how they are going to compete with tons of ESLint plugins. There's just no way a small team can do such a large amount of maintenance.
When you're in a transactional environment, it is expected. For example, if you are a car salesman and someone comes to you with a problem like "what car should I buy?", and your response is, "you should buy X because Y", that is helpful.

Most communications are not contained within a transactional context. If your mother asks "what car should I buy?", responding with "you should buy X because Y" might be 'correct' but what if she was actually reaching out, and that she doesn't actually need a car but it just 'feels' like it'd help?

In such a case you'd be rejecting her attempt at creating belongingness and a chance for empathy ("why do you need a new car mum? what happened?") and instead hit her with a status ("I know more about this than you") and confrontation ("I have resolved what I thought the situation was so now this conversation is over").

This is at least my interpretation of the terminology. If your question wasn't searching for a solution but instead you were reaching out to feel like your perspective belongs, then I apologise if I come across as confrontational, and I do not mean to imply I know more or less than you about the topic.

From another article: in addition to seeing everything multiplied by three, the man also perceived colors “unstuck” from objects.

Most unusual of all, though, Patient M saw everything as though it had been inverted. Highlighting the case in his book, Cerebral Dynamics, Rodríguez-Leal revealed how the war veteran “found his abnormalities strange when, for example, he saw men working upside down on a scaffold.”
At the time, my wife’s Nexus 7 tablet was amazing compared to my ASUS tf700 Transformer tablet.

I spent more time installing ROMs on the ASUS than using it. There was a hope each time that it would make it feel fast enough it to not be frustrating. It was apparently a cheap storage problem.

The ASUS was also twice the price. Amazing screen, and that was about it.
Seems fruitless as an approach to reducing confusion to me. What about versions 0.1.6, 0.6.1, 6.0.1, and 6.1.0?

I’d be more likely to think something was wrong with those releases, and assume someone was forced to delist versions 0.16.0 thru 1.5.0.
I’m a bit more skeptical about robotics though, the human body is a complex marvel of nature and no software will replace the fact that it’s hard to build hardware with the capability of a living musculoskeletal system.
"* The US leases airbases in Turkey, with nuclear penetration bombers and nuclear warheads stored on site."

My understanding is that the bombs are on site, but the bombers are not.

This from 2019 by The Federation of American Scientists supports that view.[1]
"The remaining 50 bombs are for use by US jets, even though Turkey never allowed the US Air Force to permanently base fighter-squadrons at Incirlik. Jets would have to fly in during a crisis to pick up the weapons or they would have to be shipped to other locations before use. As a result, the nuclear posture at Incirlik has been more a storage site than a fighter-bomber base during the past two decades."

It could still trigger a false positive given that for the time being there’s no way to “prove” that the model will reply in any given way. There are some novel ideas but they require access to the raw model. [0] [1]

It can be made to, and I think I stumbled upon a core insight that makes simple format coercion reproducible without fine-tuning or logit shenanigans, so yeah, this allows you to both reduce false positives and constrain failures to false positives or to task boundaries.

There’s also RHLF-derived coercion which is hilarious. [2]

Boss says jump, employee asks how high.
I think, in part, it’s because people want shiny tools and lots of new features but nobody wants their code to break when upgrading to a new version. Such is the duality of backwards compatibility. That leads to lots of churning with people working on scratching their own itches instead of “fixing” existing tools, because a lot of times that fixing implies breaking compatibility and upstream won’t merge the changes.
That sounds reasonable. I'd forgotten about the p-code version. I think that was dead by the time I started. I was also fortunate enough to avoid working on the 16-bit compiler backend, and just worked on the 32-bit, referred to internally as the n386 backend, which was pretty much a complete rewrite. The p-code backend would have been a variant of the 16-bit version.
It's up ~17% in the past 6 months
That's not what's going on here.

You are dismissing a specific source out of hand, apparently without so much as clicking the link provided since he's not a lay person, he's a scientist with a degree in biology.

You aren't required to check out anything at all, but your ugly dismissal without bothering to check the source isn't any kind of meaningful rebuttal of anything.
We shouldn’t keep jobs around just to keep people employed. This kind of insane careerism is probably what’s responsible for the current climate of regulations that makes it difficult for many people to find new work and for companies to open more positions. Changing jobs is a good thing, you would think someone on HN would know that.

Not sure why you put learning in quotes. It occasionally returns text reflecting true things that people asking question about don't know. Is that conspiracy theory?

You buy a product capable of using any toner, then the manufacturer disables this feature without your consent to push their own margins up?

I like what Rails offers. I like it to the point that I am now creating a SaaS template[0] that packs all of Rails has to offer.

That includes using frameworks like Active Storage, features like CurrentAttributes or defaults like Minitest.

Some of it is controversial or not favoured by community. Not many people experience Rails with the core value it's designed around which is a shame!

It's great you can replace certain parts, but should you?

What I mean is a person who has a sole proprietorship desires greater legal protection, so they set up a corporation to replace their sole proprietorship, but it is still just a one natural person-owned business-in legal terms it is no longer a sole proprietorship, but in non-legal terms nothing has changed

>When you lose the ability to write, you also lose some of your ability to think

OTOH when you don't gain the ability read or write, you might just end up thinking with both sides of the brain in ways that generations of academics may not do very much.

Especially in cultures like some hillbillies who maintained a larger vocabulary without reading or writing compared to their peers in places like Boston where they had schools the entire time since settlement.

Presumably he wouldn't hire a developer who can barely make a CRUD app, and his decision to share more than he has to would be on ideological grounds.
Why is it bad for a computer to have consciousness but good for a human?
That explains why so many docs for Rust packages are just a spew of types and traits.

From the user perspective I really dislike just being thrown a bunch of types with minimal to no actual docs. It seems more common with Cstyle headers to add docs.

IME you’re either a Rails Person or you’re not, and it’s hard to make either group understand why the other likes it. I also couldn’t understand why people would be okay with so much being hidden from them, or made in a way that removed the ability to reason about it externally, but my Rails colleagues just liked it and didn’t understand why I’d care.

Different strokes I guess.
