No, it's more perversely ironic than that.

It's that the stuff we find "easy" and "boring" (like driving, walking around, picking up a cup and setting it back down) is just stuff eons of evolution has hardcoded into most of the neural network that compromises our brain.

The "hard" stuff we pride ourselves on is just the stuff we've begun to be able to do thanks to the smallest and newest addition to our brain, the neocortex. But the reason we think it's hard is because we suck at it, which is because it's an evolutionary novelty.

Our computers' evolution is inverted. The "easy", "boring" stuff we hoped robots would do for us, like collecting garbage, is the last thing they'll be able to do and perhaps the only thing left for us to do. :D
Yes I imagine that is the root cause. However, this site was created by Disney on our technology. This happens even when the domain is owned by the enterprise customer (and shows up in the whois for the domain).
A lot of addiction is caused by social issues or mental health issues, but it's really hard to deal with those issues when someone is also dealing with the effects of addiction. A drug like this could provide an opportunity to fix the underlying issues causing addiction in the first place.

And for some people they will have to take this for life, which isn't so different from many other medications.
but question is,
is this solution for people running software on other peoples computers ?
or solution for running my own code on my own computer only ?
Given the context, either Bezos must have given some pretty amazing guaranty, like killer late fees and refund if you don't get to the moon, or and offered something politically important outside of this deal entirely.

"Sudden unintended acceleration" is common enough to have its own Wikipedia page:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudden_unintended_acceleration

"The NHTSA estimates 16,000 accidents per year in the United States occur when drivers intend to apply the brake but mistakenly apply the accelerator."

There are plenty of other possible reasons, some of which could apply to a Tesla. But the most common explanation seems to be "you thought you weren't pressing the accelerator but you were". I'd consider that the most likely explanation ahead of more exotic ones like an electrical short or computer malfunction.

Neither of which address my problem: how do I share with people generally without sharing with AI?
How are the efforts going to add LTS to Debian? I've always felt like the support cycle was one of the weaker points of the distribution from an enterprise standpoint.
It was nice when local radio DJs had platforms to feature local artists. This is becoming rarer as DJs disappear, and the audience fewer as they move to algorithmic feeds.

Most research indicates "yes", conditioned on the consensus of what comprises the modern lifestyle.

I've been trying to understand what changed to create the obesity epidemic. Many things contribute, but it's hard to identify the smoking gun. My understanding is that one major lever seems to be the advent of snacks, refrigeration, and microwaves. Drastically reduced food prep overhead has radically alerted eating patterns.
I have the same issue, but with the opposite conclusion: if this were integrated with cp/mv/dd, I wouldn't be able to rely on getting the new versions.

But since it is separate, I can install it where and when I need it, perhaps with the transfer already in progress. That might be hard for IoT/containers, but do I really need to see file copy progress in those kinds of places?
That sounds more like "petite bourgeoisie" than actual middle class. I know there was a lot of effort to redefine the term, but imo median income has little to do with it. If you live paycheck to paycheck you aren't even petite bourgeoisie.

No idea why you think median income has any relevance here. You could of course define "middle class" like that, but that is not the actual meaning of the term. I think in Western societies your middle class is at best 10% of people nowadays.

And just to add: I think this widespread redefinition of what middle class is not an accident. It seems quite effective, if you think 50k USD is middle class in the US. It wouldn't even be middle class in most of poorer Europe. The idea of term is completely unrelated to relative income, but rather a different social status; that isn't the case if you live paycheck to paycheck. And this redefinition is happening to obscure the fact that a large part of our population in the West had a loss in living standards over the last decades.

I mean the threat of AI is messing with our minds and making us do potentially irrational things.

Taking your knowledge down from the web, thus not allowing other humans to benefit from it (which was probably the reason you posted it in the first place) because it may be included in LLM training dataset...may be an overreaction at this point...
I'd agree to an extent w/ GPT-4. GPT-3.5, not at all.
No, there isn't much nuance here. Accounting has notions of fixed costs and marginal costs. The startups you are referring almost all lose money on fixed costs, but sell things at per-unit economics which make sense at scale because they are below marginal cost/COGS.

Things like Uber are a typical dumping cases. For years, they charged below their COGS and eventual profitability depended on driving out competition and raising prices.
Eh, I think it's a little more complicated than that.

Most companies don't get rid of employees until economic pressure is put upon them. So companies will increase capability for some time into the future. Then we typically run into a trigger of some kind. For example a housing crash that causes a recession. Then mass unemployment occurs and we'll consider this 'normal'. Then we'll start to have an economic rebound, but white collar jobs just won't come back in mass (unlike eventually after 2008 which was very slow).

Then people will push hard into manual/blue collar labor, but the new influx of labor will drop pay significantly especially where low skill jobs are under pressure.

The economy can generate an unlimited number of jobs... The real question is can it generate 'paying' jobs that allow a person to survive the ever increasing cost of assets.
In general, mainstream reporting on Supreme Court opinions is pretty dire.

Remember when half of Oklahoma was supposedly given away?
I've definitely lost some of my motivation to share, but it's less because I'll be training the AI, and more that I'll be competing against it so people are less likely to consume what I create. I don't really mind if the AI trains on my content to be honest. I've kind of resigned myself to the fact that it will inevitably outcompete me (and nearly everyone else) in creative pursuits. As such, I'm trying to re-condition my brain to love making art for art's sake instead of making it to receive validation and praise from other people, which has been a big motivator for most of my life.
Definitely, I'm not ruling out a use-case for larger GPUs. I just think that the "enthusiast GPU rig" is more viable than ever, if you wanted to casually game/RDP/AI.

Also, count me among those people asking why you'd play Elden Ring on Xbox One, you deserve better than 30 fps. I played Elden Ring on my cough AI researching PC cough through Proton a lot last year, its really worth the extra power to enjoy it at a higher resolution. Same goes for that new legend of something-or-another game that may-or-may-not have a highly functional emulator or two floating around. You do you though :p
I agree with the question. Something as big as the Big Bang happening once and only once is quite an anomaly to believe in.
The fact that pinecone published this is proof of how many AI tooling products see Langchain as key to their distribution.

Personally, I find langchain unnecessary if you already know which tools you are going to use.

It remains to be seen how important portability of workloads and discoverability of tooling will be in this space. My experience with cloud computing has taught me that portability of workloads is overrated, but I'm not sure that lesson will translate well to AI models.
There is an Auto-build capability you can unlock. Makes the crafting much less tedious.
Not only via botique consultancies. Almost every megaCo has some ontology team working for them. Sadly almost all of them also seem to be stuck into a perpetual conceptual phase with very little actual impact on the business.

Not a bad way for NASA to generate revenue. License its brand to space manufacturers, who privately fund say, microgravity single-crystal silicon wafer fabs ;)
Ask HN: Amazon account is suspended and I lost all tax documents. What to do?
My Amazon seller account got deactivated 5 months ago with no specified reason.
Due to being busy with school and some health issues, I stopped selling this year and did not see this message.
My account is now deleted, with "no way to access any information." All my tax documents, sale records and revenue info is gone. My fund is frozen with an appeal method that is ghosted (idk how much balance i have). Customer support told me to seek legal advise when doing tax return and wait for refund appeal

What can I do?
I paid seller subscription which includes tax handling. Do I have a legal case to require them to send me my account data? Does Amazon actually delete account data in just 5 months?

edit: im willing to spend good effort and money to fight this corporate whim
Correct. SpaceX already has a contract for a lunar lander.
Not sure how you would do that? As soon as you load the card, all the weights are visible. You need a bit more than that, but not much, to reverse engineer the whole thing.

If I had to bet, they won't allow non hosted instances of a model until they are well on their way to completing the next model. That's just my gut feeling. But again, smarter people make those calls.
> It's why they all follow that common trend of low-price growth hacking and immediately follow up by raising prices.

The key difference is that startups are rarely selling the same product, to the same people, for different prices at different phases of growth. They're more often selling different products, with different positioning, to different market segments at different times in their growth; where they just happen to call those products "editions" of the same thing.

A common startup lifecycle:

1. get seed capital to build an MVP targeting one distinct market (usually consumers or individual professionals);

2. market (or give away) your consumer-product MVP to price-sensitive early adopters (which is where the initial look of "giving it away" comes from — that's what this market segment demands);

3. wait for those early adopters to educate the rest of the market about what's cool about the product and the brand;

4. meanwhile, use the "social proof" (rather than earnings reports) from these early adopters, as leverage to get a Series A investment; and use it to build a separate, more polished product targeting the enterprise market;

5. use your enterprise product, in combination with a bunch of new sales staff, to reach the non-price-sensitive late adopters. (While continuing to sell/give away the MVP consumer version!)

6. At some point, after achieving traction in both product lines, you can also "trickle down" the benefits of the enterprise product — and integrate process, saving OpEx — by building a new version of the MVP [now "consumer/SMB" product line] using the enterprise product's technology. (It's still a separate product, though, not just a feature-limited version of the enterprise product — there are a lot of things enterprises want that actively get in the way for consumers.)

This is less like Goodyear charging less for tires until they monopolize the market; and more like Goodyear starting off selling car tires, achieving brand recognition there, and then making all their real money by selling semi-truck tires.

A clear example of all six phases (but with bootstrapping in place of VC investment): Microsoft built initial versions of Windows for consumers, at retail prices (or "given away" via OEM channel-partners with steep volume discounts); achieved reach; then reinvested the revenue from that to build a more polished and robust Windows NT for enterprises, and made big money from non-discounted enterprise volume licensing; then "trickled down" the technology from Windows NT to create Windows XP, with the consumer/SMB product now just an "edition" of Windows XP.
I mean they did say they were going to the moon to stay... maybe they meant it more literally than we're reading it ;-)
The first days, weeks and months are often the hardest time when quitting a substance. If this drug helps a smoker not smoke for 3 months, by that time the nicotine addiction has weakened considerably. They've gotten past the hardest part. I see no downside to that.

Similarly, if a person loses 30 pounds on this drug, then stops using the drug and reverts to normal habits, it will take a while to regain those 30 pounds. And the long term shift of maintaining the new body weight doesn't require any radical changes (unlike losing 30 pounds, which does require sustained radical changes).
Reminds me of the time that my son and I were standing in front of our beehives and a stream of bees was mostly going over our head on the way to a wet meadow full of flowers and I asked him “How long could we stand here and not get stung?” and he said “Forever” and I said, “What about a few hours or days?” and he said “Maybe”

Just then a bee alighted to the very top of his head and started digging into his hair, I was about to brush it away when it stung.
$3.4B seems.. cheap, considering they don't even have a proper launch vehicle yet? What's the catch?
They are completely different financially. Look at this way: in a single quarter, the cash flow for a company with a loss leader strategy will still be positive because the loss product is offset by other revenue. The venture predation company will have a massive negative cash flow no matter what because there is no near-term revenue to offset the loss.

There's two sides to the coin of recognizing "un-winnability".

One is frustration, the other is a sense of peace that comes with recognizing that there's no marginal reward to trying so hard. Just avoid the obvious scams, which isn't too hard.

A third option to skirts the coin, is to really embed yourself in a local community, renting in the meanwhile. There actually are "winner" situations and good deals if you go this way, but they generally come on the back of who you know and are friendly with – variously referred to as cronyism and nepotism, but it's how humans work.
This is exactly what happened to me. The clinic I went to recommended starting out with 1/10 the normal dose for the first month to make sure I would tolerate it. Then we would move up each month.

It worked so well I didn't want to move up so for month 2 I stuck with 1/10th the amount. During that month the effects wore off so I had to take more to get the same impact. I chose to just quit.

2 months after quiting I am 7 pounds fatter than I was when I started with the drug. I suspect that most people will need to keep taking more and more of it to get the same benefits they got from the recommended dose. I am really concerned this is going to lead to a bigger health crises than the one it purported to solve.

Yes, this is a concern.

I think chat AI’s should give the option to click a share button and publish conversations you like. Then other users can participate and enhance it.
It's risk mitigation. Elon Musk is an eccentric billionaire that gives no !@#$s. I'm not sure what evidence you need other than a million different headlines and his own Twitter account.

SpaceX is a here today gone tomorrow kind of company, because it does whatever Elon Musk wants it to do. You don't want space exploration for an entire country (and to some extent—at least currently—the entire world) to rest on the whims of one man.

The government often awards contracts to "backups". So NASA decided to sign a contract with a second eccentric billionaire. Lol. This is America.
The ocean is way too big for removing some drinking water (which is going to end up back in the ocean anyway) to have a material effect on the salt concentration.

The problem is strictly local: if the brine produced by the plant is dumped in an area with low flow, it can hang around and affect sea life.

If you use a big discharge pipe and put it a decent distance offshore in a current where it can mix effectively, there’s very little effect.

This is not a reason to shoot down desalination plants as a concept, it’s a design constraint to take into account when building them.

Follow-Up on “Sell Your Startup in Public”
This also affected one of my kids yesterday. They texted another iPhone user though. The originating text was converted to international number with the '+' sign. Both are iPhone users. One is Verizon the other ATT. The problem was on the ATT end user's phone. They resolved the issue by deleting the thread with the bad contact number, closing the messaging app, and restarting the phone. Everything was normal after that.

EDIT: I just remembered the funny part of all of this. My kid was trying to figure out who was hijacking their conversation when they contacted me. I asked them to send me the phone number disguised so that it isn't picked up as a phone number in the message app and I would check it out. A minute later I get a phone number that is obviously their own phone number. I pointed that out to them and had a good laugh. At that point we started blaming it on the app, not on some message international hijacker. Pretty funny that neither person in their conversation recognized the phone number.
