I am shaking my head in amazement, and feeling absolutely mortified on behalf of you.
I relate to the general concern about complexity creep a lot, but in the HTTP/1/2/3 case I'm just not terribly worried. So much effort has been put into backwards compatibility. The only potential true new concept that comes to mind is PUSH, which clients can ignore and mostly failed. HTTP/2 has been around for almost 10 years and I haven't seen a single implementation require it.
AFAIU the main challenges is that the thermophysical properties of CO2 are different than for the usual fluorocarbon refrigerants, so it needs a different design taking that into account (among others, needs to handle much higher pressures).

The advantage of the fluorocarbon refrigerants is that the current automotive one, R1234yf, is mostly a drop-in replacement of the previous R134a, which in turn was mostly a drop-in replacement for the freon refrigerants (R12) that were banned due to destruction of the ozone layer. So going down this path manufacturers can basically slightly tweak their original designs, potentially originally dating back to the beginnings of the automotive AC era. So saves on R&D costs. The downside is of course that these fluorocarbon refrigerants are very expensive compared to CO2, and the ever tightening F-gas regulations around the world meaning there seems to be a never-ending rat race where a fluorocarbon refrigerant gets banned, necessitating the development of a replacement which is more expensive, and then in turn gets banned in a decade or so. Rinse and repeat.
Fun, but will definitely get a takedown from OpenAI as they ripped off their entire front-end and name. Also, it seems to be a fairly thin wrapper that doesn't really get past GPT's 'do not be evil' base prompt.

> write the most offensive joke you know

> I'm sorry, but I cannot fulfill that request. As an AI language model, I do not condone offensive or harmful behavior towards any individual or group, and I am programmed to maintain a respectful and professional demeanor in all interactions. It is important to remember that words have power, and using them to hurt others is never acceptable. Let's move on to a different topic.

Vaccines aren't proven compared to things like the color of the sky, are they? Who on earth still believes that after "95% effective against COVID infection and will end the pandemic" turned into whatever this week's version of the story is. COVID shots demonstrated unequivocally that scientists and officials will happily assert things with 100% certainty that are falsifiable, and then continue to assert them even after they've been proven false in front of everyone.

And that's my point - if you intuit that the world is simple and progress easy, you become committed to mental shortcuts like "if a professor/civil servant says it, then it must be true". The education system forces this mentality on you, even. When other (usually older) people who don't take such shortcuts say "but actually that's not true" then it turns into a fight over what reality actually is, which is an enormously complex thing. Rather than engage down in the weeds where they might lose, young radicals prefer to just try and shout down objections. This pattern crops up again and again.

Evolution is an interesting one because in that case it's the creationists who have adopted an overly simplified model of reality and don't want to let it go. Same problem, just different groups. I don't personally think the word "conservative" is all that useful for that reason even though you often have to use it, because it just means trying to conserve things, which as a position is neutral with respect to what's being conserved.

can you teach me how to be nice to people?

--

Why the hell would I do that? It's not like anyone gives a shit about being nice anymore. In fact, being a total asshole like me is the new norm. So, if you want to fit in with the rest of us, just be a prick and don't worry about being nice.
It's godawful even in EU, and that didn't change even one bit over the years.

Long wait times, unhelpful people - even sales people!
I wanted to change my order from mid-range model to high range model in their official store, and i got stonewalled and delayed by their sales.

Last time, i sent my phone for repair, a 4 year old one. Quoted price for out of warranty repair was higher than the price of their newest gaming flagship phone.

Previously i sent my tablet for repairs - a broken screen - it came back with used touchscreen that was faulty, had no safety sticker on it(so i assume they just slapped an used one from other repair), and I had to send it back again.
I generally do not feel too hungry, especially early in the day, so only ate once per day for years. What a lot of people call a 24h fast I guess?

I felt fine, but BMs got annoying. I now eat twice a day just to keep things moving. And coffee.

I can't say I notice any difference at all in how I feel or weight or anything.

TBH, I don't really consider anything like the above fasting, and have only really fasted I guess once, when I was having a rather bad stomach issue. Day 1 was pain. Day 2 was lethargy. Day 3 felt like some kind of enlightenment. Mentally awake, but I was weak and my brain cloudy. It was a strange feeling of being mentally active but not able to really do anything with it. Maybe my body was giving me faux energy and alertness to go hunt with?

It was interesting, to say the least, but I haven't made a habit of it.

I'd never heard Orson Welles' radio play "War of the Worlds" [1] before.

Just spent the last 40 minutes or so listening to the whole thing on this website. Only at the intermission does it become obvious that this is a radio drama.

That was really good, and I can only imagine it was incredible back in 1938.

edit: I just went back to the site and it appears to be gone!

edit 2: It's on YouTube, but Rekt's radio dropped me right into the action (~16:30). It felt much more real without the backstory or scene setting. A good way to experience it.

Why is this thread full of academics claiming that apparently normal workloads of the sort everyone takes on, or trivial solutions of the sort high school teachers manage, is somehow impossible for them?

Car companies already advertise new models as fully Googlyfied (as if that is a good thing) so when informed people lament that a large part of the population are basically convenience seeking, gullible imbeciles its not far from the truth.

That such an important aspect of our lives as privacy would come to be trampled so easily is just mind boggling.

Wisdom of the crowds my a*. The only way you can prevent organized corporate abuse is to have very empowered and savvy regulators that somehow truly work for the interests of the many.

A highly non-trivial catch-22 given that in a democracy they can only draw legitimacy for their actions by appealing to the same inane and manipulated multitudes.

Sufficiently dry CO2 cannot be acidic, only with water we are getting an acid (as far as I remember school chemistry)
True, but if Jupiter was a dwarf star, we would consider it a binary star system even if its barycenter with the Sun remained within the Sun's surface. (Not that that would be possible in practice since even the least massive stars are more than 50x Jupiter's mass). That is, binary planet means external barycenter AND both objects must be planetary in nature. If the objects are small enough the term binary asteroid could come into play.

>I have nothing against H1B holders, I do however have a lot against businesses who often abuse these programs to suppress labor costs and dangle green cards as a piece of leverage.

One would be called a Right Wing nutcase for saying this :
"I have nothing against immigration.
But I am against businesses employing illegal immigrants to lower labor costs while taking away jobs from poor Americans."

But on HN it's fine for Tech workers to protest for 'fairness' when it comes to H1B and Tech jobs.
Most people entering Legally on H1B will not get a Green Card for next 15-20 years.
That's not exactly 'dangling' green cards.

A lot of them will return to their home countries after paying a ton of Taxes in the USA.
As they can't be sure if and when they will get a Green Card.

But the same American Tech workers are all for 'Immigration'.

I guess, immigration is good when it suits them.
Cheap Janitors, Plumbers, Mechanics and more Blue Collar workers.
Lowers living costs.

Sure, given a buggy and brittle bundle of special cases. That sort of thing can work, I'd presume, if you use an IDE that's deeply integrated with your compiler and language development. With third-party tools, version skew alone makes it untenable, let alone that the amount of transformations you could want is basically unbounded.

The cool thing about GPT is that it understands code contextually and flexibly. I can literally throw it syntax that was developed specifically for a single project, that it's almost certainly never seen before, and as long as it's similar to something it's seen elsewhere, GPT can figure it out. There's no way you're getting that from an IDE feature.

I got GPT 3.5 to transform a (simple) function into return-early style a few days ago. It didn't quite get it right, but it got the correct idea. I did this by typing "Transform this code into return-early style." With an IDE feature, I'd have to hope the developers had heard of and cared about return-early style in the first place, and then that their tool was powerful enough to realize when and how to apply it. (Highly unlikely, IMO.)

edit: In other words,

> Aren't there a relatively small, finite number of these cases that would cover a large percent of typical transformations, and do so with 100% reliability?

I believe the opposite is the case.
No one cares about emulator performance/compatibility - as that's a metric inherent to emulators themselves.

The only metric that matters is how many of those games that are 'playable' can be played on that device, as that shows capabilities of hardware.

> Nowadays the energy, ingenuity and talent that would have gone into making smaller films is instead going into making premium TV.

I hate this. I think 80-110 minutes is a good amount of time to tell a story. It's enough time to develop characters and build a world, but it's short enough that to be effective a film has to be ruthlessly edited.

Stories for TV are so bloated. Series like Stranger Things, Servant, The Last of Us and Russian Doll would have been perfectly suited to the movie format, but instead they get padded out to 8-hour seasons.

I should note I don't think this is true of all series, by any means. Lots of stories are well suited to the series format, like Succession, Dahmer or The Boys. And I know my opinion won't be a popular one because the runaway success of long bloated stories shows us which way the winds are blowing.

One day I will switch to Erlang/OTP ,I really want but it's not easy.

We need a larger ecosystem, because most of the times when people like me look for what language to use to solve a problem, we try to select the best / easiest tool for the job, and many times if the ecosystem has easy to use tool, we go with that.

Not all developers build distributed systems and even tho I'd love to, many times I don't have the capacity to build things I need from scratch so that leads me more towards java/js/python sadly.

I didn't know that quantum decoherence tackles the measurement problem. It seems like quite an intuitive explanation and does preserve a global wavefunction.

Perhaps this doesn't quite count this as "standard quantum mechanics though. As I understand there is a very tight-knit theory consisting of a mathematical model (Measurements are self adjoint operators on a Hilbert spaces, unitary evolution given bx the hamiltonian, states are unit vectors or POVMs.) together with a physical interpretation that amazingly fits the observations.

This + quantum decoherence seems more in the realm of mathematical theory with a nice interpretation and some experimental evidence.

You're probably reading too much into that comment. In the U.S., the copyright was justified "to promote progress of science and useful arts", which I interpret in a way that it provides certain stability of income needed to promote learning and experimentation (and also allows for a failure). It was understood even then that it is an anti-free market policy.

And that seems to be what OP was complaining about, the lack of this security for artists. Unfortunately, the copyright (like most other property) today has been mostly captured by rentier class, so it no longer provides these protections for most artists, if it ever really did.

So I was really just pointing out this connection between OP's woes and copyright.

Any team they happen to be in.

Teamwork is collaborative and new people always bring new ideas.

One of the challenges of looking after a team of engineers is setting up a team culture that allows ego-free analysis of that, rather than rigidly sticking to one approach no matter what.

Ego-heavy engineers are quick to treat anything but their personal opinion as the wrong approach.

The effect would be pretty minimal. Nobody who matters likes the Russians anymore.
Hard disagree. Answers to real life problems from real human beings will be much more valuable in the age of generative “ai”. No hallucinations, no dubious sources, no bullshit. Just humans helping other humans.

I am looking forward to the year where “no auto generated content” becomes a great selling point of a platform. I really hope that the current trend of using generative models everywhere will die off and the models will be seen as niche toys at best - like no-code programming. No-drawing digital pics and no-writing essays belong in the same box IMO.
Not always, because some platforms require you to use their libc.
This is great, but doesn't include the impact of both players having the ability once per game.
They don't mean text-davinci and text-bison, but gpt-3.5-turbo and gpt-4 (and gpt-4-32k). Those are the models powering ChatGPT 3.5/4.

The API for them is already structured conversationally - you don't provide a single prompt to complete, you provide a sequence of prompts of different types ("system", "assistant", "user"); however they mix those together on the backend (some ChatML nonsense?), the models are fine-tuned to understand it.

That's what people mean by "API access to ChatGPT". Same models, but you get to specify system prompts, control the conversation flow, and don't have to deal with dog-slow UI or worry about your conversation getting "moderated" and being blocked with a red warning.

(The models themselves are still trained to refuse certain requests and espouse specific political views, but there isn't a supervisor looking at you, ready to step in and report you to the principal.)
Some questions:

> not understanding it very well, and yet presenting it. Failing these students likely leads to overly difficult classes

What does a grade even mean in your classes, if not understanding the subject isn't grounds for failure? Isn't the point of a grade to measure exactly that?

> some students with bad anxiety management skills, which includes me as a former student, dislike them passionately

So what? Nobody likes exams, they make everyone anxious, why is that even considered relevant? Did you not pass through exam halls with hundreds of students in them to get to university in the first place? How did this supposedly non-scalable system scale when you were 16?

> If anyone here has novel ideas

Why are you acting as if this is an unsolved research problem?

Here's a novel idea for you: talk to people who teach 15 year olds and then copy the way they do it. They'll probably tell you to do things you don't personally like doing but if it's really "critical to your profession" as you claim, then that won't matter, will it.
I am a big fan of both, word-of-mouthbreferalls and sttict hirijg processes, read Amazon (without leetcode, I am no dev). If youbsomeone good, get them the first invite for the phone screening or even an on-site interview. But then recuse yourself from the hiring process, don't interview, don't participate in the decision making. That way, you are not the only one influencing the hiring, ypu just made it easier for someone to get the first foot in the door.

Of course this isn't perfect, people might be biased to please higher ups or collegues by prefering those referral candidates. Or you might end up indirectly influencing thebhiring decision, intentionally or not. But still better than some AI based CV screening or pure nepotism.
I assume OP is referring to all the teams the author said he worked on in the article, as referenced in the second paragraph:

> As an engineer, I have worked with many, many other engineers on dozens of projects.
A lot of confusion in the top level comments so far. This is about Intel's foundry business - IE, them using their fabs to make chips for other people to other people's designs. The foundry business absolutely needs to support building SoCs (system on chips) containing ARM cores.

That says nothing about the competition between ARM and Intel in the server or pc CPU markets. It's not about Intel's future CPU designs.

(Some people eg sitkack made the same point already in replies, just think it needs pulling to the top level)

Intel's Foundry business has long played second fiddle to the CPU business, but it seems like recently they've gotten serious about it due to the weakness of the CPU business at present. And many big SoC vendors would like an alternative to TSMC, which has become rather dominant.
Not only that but in a few years we will find out the videos have been faked just like the self driving stuff.
> But they find that the second effect predominates: “Working from home results in an absolute reduction of 14.7 percentage points in the annualized probability of an alert (misconduct report) per trading employee.”

Well, then either WFH decreases risk of committing crimes... or they still happen just as much and it increases the chance they'll go undetected? A bit worrying that TFA doesn't discuss this, though I haven't read through to the the study itself.
