Those that have a realistic acceptance of GPT's limitations.

And that's almost impossible at the moment, because there's so much progress. It's very hard to tell what the actual limitations are. But there will be some. GPT is not AGI.

Companies that think "just get 10 times as much training data, or a little tweak of the model, and those limitations will disappear!" won't last (though they may do really well at getting funding). But companies that think "the current limitations are permanent, so there's no point trying to get it to extend past that" will also not last (unless they adapt fast enough).

Since we don't currently know what the real limits are, it's very hard to give concrete advice here. Maybe "push hard against the limits, but don't bet the company on being able to overcome any particular limit".
Bulk, high-resolution activity tracing by the government should be illegal. There is no justification for employing warfare-grade surveillance as standard operational protocol for non-combatant citizens. There is no basis for collecting and examining such data in search of criminality.

Results are highly subject to political whimsy. The government is inadvertently creating a platform for turn-key intimidation and extortion. The individuals broadly identified and targeted are those who are least likely to be engaged in crime.

This is the wrong approach. It is time to force our leadership back to the drawing board to identify and develop more sound approaches.
There’s no money in long form. It only works as a hook to get people to watch more profitable content.
How about actually talking with your users? Telemetry is a poor substitute for that.
> Having access to e.g. Wikipedia is of enormous benefit to young people.

Unproven. I would argue it is enormously detrimental (reduces curiosity, reduces research ability, reduces perseverance, reduces skills required to determine truth, reduces social skills required to negotiate a position with others).
I agree with your assertion that there is a big difference here, in that anti-abortion protestors are far more likely to resort to domestic terrorism to get their way.

Pro-choice protestors don't have a history of bombing health clinics, that's something reserved for the people you claim "take peaceful action". History has something quite different to say: https://www.vox.com/2015/12/1/9827886/abortion-clinic-attack...
The common aristocratic phrase "There's a trite in my trizers" translates to "there's a trout in my trousers" (apologies to Steve Bell).
I hate these articles with a passion, they make me think so much less of the "news" org putting them out. Another headline I saw recently on HN that drove me nuts:

"Paper map sales are booming" [0] - with a subtitle of "Fans say physical maps—though less efficient than digital options—enhance one’s journey. Among devotees: a surprising number of millennials and members of Generation Z" - Bullshit. Subtitle should have been "as art", almost no one, especially Gen-Z is using paper maps as actual maps.

Also all the articles about "people are going back to flip/dumb phones" no they aren't. You found a handful of people who did it, half of which I doubt are still doing it 1-2 months later and you want to pretend it's a trend. It's so tiring.

Show HN: A tool that transforms prompts to SVG illustrations with GPT3.5
For Blackberry, it was way more than just the keyboard. And the whole MS-Nokia thing is a whole different story, because both screwed up really bad here, botching the potential shot at owning an Android / iOS alternative.
Smartphone = pushy social media in your pocket 24x7. In practice I suspect that amongst highschoolers the ratio of time spent between wikipedia and social media (and gaming as well) heavily favors the latter.
i don't follow your logic here, at all.

The NHS doctor told him, he didn't have ADHD, 3 private clinics told him he did

and your reply is 'The NHS is not fit for purpose' ?
I don't think the return to office trend will abate until the economy returns to growth mode.

We are in a tightening economy where stock prices are jumping double digit percentages from layoff announcements.

Everyone seems to recognize that forcing employees to return to office will result in attrition (aka soft-layoff).

Perhaps when growth becomes the focus again, companies will switch back to work from home. The public line of reasoning will be something dumb like "eliminating office costs" or "reducing emissions associated with commute".
For whatever reason that accent seems easier for US people. My wife can do a killer imitation of a Love Island-like girl but neither of us can do anything resembling the accents on the more posh side without it turning into caricature quickly. We used to watch a lot of British panel shows.
Hi. I built a tool that transforms input prompts to amusing SVG illustrations. It runs on GPT3.5, Janet, HMTX, and a home-grown scheduler.

A couple of months ago I learned that GPT is capable of creating rudimentary drawings, and since then I poured my heart into tinkering and improving GPT and algorithmic steps until I reached a point where images became recognizable.

GPT3.5 doesn't always generate the most artistic illustrations, but once in a while it may draw surprisingly delightful sketches. GPT4 is more creative, but is also more expensive. I selected a few images and prompts to demonstrate what GPT3.5 can do right out of the box: https://kruzenshtern.org/23-draw-me-a-sheep.html

Also if someone wanted drugs, wouldn't it be cheaper/easier to get street drugs instead of this whole process which costs a ton of money? These treatments can cost thousands. Unreal, garbage piece. Leave people that need help alone. ADHD has been known to be underdiagnosed. There is a reason for a spike in dx and it's awareness and societal pressures. This article will hurt people.
Yes, but feeling hungry doesn't cause weight gain. Acting on it excessively does.

It would be odd to say that "preparing gym bag the night before" leads to muscle growth. It's correlated sure, it's a good willpower/discipline hack, but the actual thing that caused the muscle growth was the workout (and rest and diet etc.)

edit: ah I see now. Yes, I agree that zero calorie food is probably bad news. I was thinking more along the lines of e.g. protein shakes with sweeteners, cake with a bit less sugar in it etc.

Soda is obviously bad IMO.
Almost anybody, ADHD diagnosis or not, will feel and perform better on low dose amphetamine like Adderall. It's not surprising there's a demand for it — and actors who know how to profit from it.
>equations are driving the core of both systems I described

Everything in society uses symbolic representation, but is not driven by symbolic representation, but the people who create those representations.
I love seeing lots of practical refutations of the "we have to do the voice processing in the cloud for performance" rationales peddled by the various home 1984 surveillance box vendors.

It's actually faster to do it locally. They want it tethered to the cloud for surveillance.
Smartphones are not a prerequisite for access to educational resources online. Having an old school computer in a public part of the house is great for such things. Kids should just hang out and focus on each other when they're out and about. No need for a smartphone.
Thanks to Paul Hollywood, I mentally hear baking terms in Liverpudlian, and I can't be the only one. ("It's oonderPROOVED!")
Someone tell the local high school here please, they definitely won't listen to me and require that every student have a smartphone.

Like I said:

> It's possible to set up a child's smartphone in such a way that their access to social media is limited if not totally removed.

The problem is parents who don't care enough to get actively involved in their child's lives to this extent.
google is exploiting their elasticity to avoid providing a concrete number and making any kind of fair competition impossible with companies that need to be profitable to remain in business.

this typical modus operandi of giving away stuff for free or at a loss until everyone is dead, the ground is salted and nothing grows, is toxic and bad for end users.
> For instance, in English, the incorrect use of the apostrophe to indicate an acronym plural, DVD's instead of DVDs. This misusage is so entrenched that even as I type this my Android phone's speller is trying to make me use the incorrect form!

It's not as clear-cut as you think - that's a borderline case - many people view it as falling under the "small words" or "symbol" categories of appropriate use of the apostrophe for the plural:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apostrophe#Letters_of_the_alph...

> Another widespread problem is incorrect word usage of fewer and less to distinguish between 'discrete numbers' and 'bulk quantity'. Supermarkets are recalcitrant offenders, they perpetuate the problem at checkouts with signs such as less than 12 items.

The countable/uncountable distinction in English is eroding and may well be dead in a generation. It's a distinction that does not exist in many other languages and it seems that many native speakers feel it adds little to clarity.

> I wonder how long it will be before fewer precise becomes acceptable

You could try paying attention to how people actually use the language instead of hyper-focusing on imagined rule breaking and you'd quickly see that's unlikely to happen

In the real world what is happening is that it has become acceptable to use "less" to describe countable quantities.

It however has not become acceptable to use "fewer" to describe uncountable quantities and there is no sign of that happening.

> people that run instead of people who run

now that's getting really pedantic - spoken English in any register has always been fairly free about choice of relative particles. I'm not sure use of "that" in this context has ever been considered bad usage outside of highly prescriptive "Good English" guides.
Am I the only one who has never tried VSCode and, in general, can't take Electron-based code editors seriously?

If you or anyone reading this makes a GPT powered product that has enough usage and happy users that the main challenge is API costs, email me (email in profile) - I'd be interested in funding it.

As long as there is a product that users love, and a plausible path to a moat, VCs love businesses where the only bottleneck is hosting/API costs.
- over-diagnosis

- over-prescription

- (mis/ab)use of drugs to artificially increase work output (with lower quality), causing the rest of the team to have to: fix the (mis/ab)users mistakes, and deal with the political fallout of appearing to be slacking relative to the (mis/ab)user

- mismanagement of prescriptions, either by the prescriber or the prescribee: very easy to slip into psychosis or not understand that you shouldn't "feel" the drugs, and that you don't necessarily need to increase the dosage just because the initial high wore off. If your life is being held together sufficiently well on your current dosage, and whenever you forget to take your meds your life falls apart, then your dosage is perfectly fine. Easy to not realize your sleep has been severely impacted, but is being masked by the stimulants, i.e. you're riding on the edge of "psychosis."

- disregard for lifestyle modifications that synergize with ADHD and medications (e.g. good sleep hygiene, better diet, regular exercise, meditation, etc.)
Thanks again!

Not only are we working on improving performance with the inference server, local on device command recognition is extremely fast. Like "did that really just happen?" fast.

In my local setup when using locally-controlled Wemo switches I swear the latency with local devices is around 300ms or so.

I should make another demo video with that...
In theory sure. In practice US ground troops are already suffering frequent joint injuries due to the excessive weight of all the electronic equipment and spare batteries they have to carry. An AR headset robust enough for field use won't be light.

I have no idea how laws got brought into this conversation but some people absolutely do worship their dogs, as someone who doesn’t really like animals and is highly allergic to pet dander, it’s frankly quite annoying and insane.

I was bitten by a dog once and the owners immediately started trying to explain to me why it was actually my fault that I, standing there minding my own business, made the dog bite me! They eventually remembered that I got bit and asked if I was hurt.

I lived in an apartment building next to some people with a new puppy who barked at night - when I complained to them about it I got an earful about how its ok for them to violate noise ordinances and disturb my sleep, it’s a puppy, it can’t control itself, how could I possibly be so mean!?

I refused an invitation to a party once because they had a lot of dogs and I’m very allergic - I was told I was being super rude and that I should just pop some meds and get over it. I asked them why they expected me to make myself miserable for the dogs sake when they could just kennel it for the weekend?

I own fish - the amount of times someone has told me that my pet is “lame” or “silly” or “boring” and that I should have gotten a dog is ridiculous. Like fuck off.

TL;DR Dog owners can be really obnoxious and self-righteous. There’s a mutual understanding that if people can’t control their children, they are bad parents. But not being able to control your dog is for some reason much more accepted.
>Sharyn Alfonsi: What about, you know, the idea that secrecy builds mistrust?

This line ROFL. Seriously, how can you listen to someone talk like this and not think they are completely deceitful?
Why not use both?

Vim is great for quick edits and is unmatched in editing speed , especially over SSH.

VS Code is more IDE-ish and has excellent integration with language protocol servers and other plugin tools. It is slower than Vim but has some functionality that Vim does not.

Using one does not stop you from using the other.
Junior developers do “negative work” almost by definition. They can’t work independently without guidance. If they can, they are inappropriately leveled and should be at least mid level developers.
I used to read WSJ more often but their Op-Ed page has really gone off the deep end into Trump cheerleading which is not what I expected. My primaries are probably NY Times and NPR really, but I like Axios and am watching Semafor with interest. Otherwise, I have a slate of indies I check in on (Marcy Wheeler and Claudia Sahm are always interesting), but I've genuinely lost some of that when I quit twitter. I like the CNN homepage just because it's so broad. Like I'll never seek out celebrity news, but it's good to see whatever has bubbled up to the top of the national consciousness.

I don't think the left can really support a true maniac on par with Tucker Carlson. They tried Air America with Al Franken years ago and it was not bad, but didn't resonate. I remember a host trying to say the 2004 election was stolen by Republicans and I just turned it off. Don't remember who it was, but she didn't get any traction reading from the right-wing play book.
What's funny is this is the answer a 12 year old who has seen too many heist movies would give. It's not dangerous, it's sort of goofy.
You've just dredged up a memory of an educational video we watched at school years ago for Corel-Draw, which was rendered in the most Canadian accent any of us had ever heard.

A friend jammed all the drawls into a single catchphrase which he used for laughs for weeks. "The daaataaa on the staaatus baaar is made of an aluuuuminum cahhhhmpaaaund and stahred on a cd-raaaaaaahm"
So bring back optimization!

This is a solved problem, companies just don't want to invest the time and effort to optimize and compress their assets and code. It used to be something that they knew was a necessity, but rapid gains in storage allowed a temporary period in which they could ignore those things. Now reality has caught back up with them.

This is not a customer problem, (though it will certainly be treated as one) but rather a shoddy corporation problem.
> No, social media does.

This is like the "guns don't kill people, people kill people" argument. Sure, smartphones are just a tool. But they're a tool used to access social media. Also, I'd argue it's not just social media causing this issue. AI filters that make you look more "beautiful" are commonplace now. Children see themselves through these filter and it may impact their self-esteem, e.g. "why do I look beautiful in the photo but not in real life"
Anywhere I can read more about this? Blog post or book recommendation? I understand that you want to keep it simple and all but I feel I need more practical details.
Stop shitting over everyone with this obscure fact. When people hear vice they think their heyday of video content. You’re not cool or in the know for correcting people who are discussing this (the thing that made them famous in the first place.)
What do you think protests are? Coordinated congregation to push a specific point of view is protesting.

And, for an an emotional take, I’ve seen some pro birth protests and how they treat the out group. Peaceful my ass.

Screaming “whore” and “sinner” and “burn in hell” at women so angrily that they’re flinging spittle is not a fucking peaceful prayer circle.
Some people are way too butt-hurt over a choice of phrasing in a language that absolutely allows for this kind of flexibility. But mostly it's probably some dork in the back fuming away, muttering "I'm a REAL engineer! I went to school to get that title! How dare these intellectual infants abscond with MY valor!"
Saying "remember what they did" is content free. You couldve just said it.

> And page loads became slower, not faster, for me.

They're not exclusive, smaller server loads doesn't mean the experience is better for the client.

For instance the server might just stop doing server-side template rendering. Instead it sends one static page, then the client requests and render the JSON for the article, or maybe the page only contains the JSON for the article instead of the rendered one.

Then the template rendering cost stops showing up on the server, because it's not performed on the client, and serialising to JSON is almost certainly cheaper than rendering an ad-hoc and half-assed template format.

But now the client has to perform a bunch of extra requests (to fetch the javascript and possibly the json) and it pays the cost for the template rendering, and that might be even halfer-assed, and more expensive, because it's out of sight of the server loads / logs.

The result is that the server has gone from, say, 80ms CPU to 40ms CPU per page (which definitely qualifies as a "measured improvement in server performance"), but the client now needs an additional 300ms to reach loading completion.
My team isn't in my office and people usually aren't super social. It's a bit of a waste of time here. I wish it was like yours.
As a parent, I’m seeing a very clear division in parenting style among my peers.

Some parents allow screen time with moderation and caution because they know what excessive use leads to.

The other group sees nothing wrong and screens are everywhere all the time.

My friend circles are exclusively in the first group, from daycare to schools to friends. So much so that at first I thought everyone was like this.

Then I stepped outside of my bubble and watched some parents hand their kids phones and tablets like they were automatic babysitters. They saw it as normal. One person explained to me that it was a “tool” to help build his relationship with his child by making them “not upset” because they were happier with the phone. It blew my mind that he didn’t realize that he was cultivating an addiction.
But the form-factor of technology necessarily alters our relationship to it. Compared to a laptop or desktop PC, a smartphone is a constant presence, always in your kid’s pocket or backpack, easily snuck under a desk for a distraction from a boring lecture, easily used by friends or bullies to record you unnoticed.

Besides that, parents can learn to restrict their kids’ phones from social media use, but that seems like a weak protection (which many kids learn to break) and an unnecessary burden when you could simply give your kid a “dumb phone” for emergency use.

It's not as if the papers, and the health organizations, haven't been saying this for years now. Demand for mental health care under children and young adults has skyrocketed, and demand far outstrips supply. Is that sufficient?
Lol, adding a mugshot was enabled in EA's NHL 2000'ish. Didn't look good to be honest and hasn't made a difference.

It was also very quickly a self-reinforcing marker distinguishing one from the lower class.
Close but I'd say it's more like a handheld console with a Chromebook attached.

Steam Deck apps (mostly) have to come from a Flatpak repo to install correctly but Flathub (the default repo and therefore defacto app store on the Steam Deck) has lots of the common apps for daily use, even if they are largely unofficial/unsupported versions. So for 95% of people, it's definitely usable as a laptop/desktop replacement, but if you want to develop or want stuff outside the Flatpak repos, it's a bit of a hassle.

That said, I love this thing.

Apple's higher market cap is not based significantly on their image and speculation.

It's based on their consistently enormous income generation.

Apple has $114 billion in operating income over the past four quarters. Alphabet is close to $75b by comparison; Microsoft is $83b; Meta is $29b. Amazon is a joke at $12b (which is increasingly being reflected in their very mediocre stock market performance; Amazon stock has nearly contracted on an inflation adjusted basis over five years).

For large corporations like Apple, Microsoft, Meta, Alphabet, etc., profit generation is overwhelmingly what matters. Apple has led the way on that for a long time now and it's reflected in their market cap.
