Infrequent posting low karma users showing up on a random thread after nearly a year of inactivity to call out a relatively niche player which gets immediately replied to by the founder looks suspicious, I have to say. (EDIT: The founder has since deleted their comment, it had been quite downvoted before I replied)
If we’re moving past the marketing questions/concerns, I’m not sure I agree.

For me, for now, ChatGPT remains a tool/resource, like: Google, Wikipedia, Photoshop, Adaptive Cruise Control, and Tesla FSD, (e.g. for the record despite mentioning FSD, I don’t think anyone should ever take a nap while operating a vehicle with any currently available technology).

Did I miss when OpenAI marketed ChatGPT as a truthful resource for legal matters?

Or is this not just an appropriate story that deserves retelling to warn potential users about how not to misappropriate this technology?

At the end of the day, for an attorney, a legal officer of the court, to have done this is absolutely not the technology’s, nor marketing’s, fault.
This is the exact narrative that I’m talking about. It’s a hand wavy pseudo intellectual narrative that goes, Russia commits war crimes and kills civilians, China is Nazi Germany 2.0 and is trying to exterminate Muslims like the Nazis tried to do with the Jews and America is bad, you know with even more casualties in the Middle East but it’s not as bad as these cartoonishly evil regimes. I mean no offence to you by calling it hand wavy and pseudo intellectual but this is the exact attitude I’m talking about. It goes, “Everybody knows [something] [something]” and that’s usually a big warning sign for me; I know because I had to examine some of my own beliefs that way and it was painful to realise that most of it was talking points I had unfortunately picked up from so called thought leaders.

It’s a lot to unpack and I’m not going to discuss Russia because a lot of that is actually true, but why don’t you hold America to the same standards? Also regarding the concentration camps thing, this is another narrative. Can you describe to me what you think is going on in China? I’m genuinely curious. My understanding, after a lot of research and incredulity is that it’s essentially China’s version of Guantanamo Bay, because you know, they had terrorist attacks where there were hundreds killed in stabbings in Xinjiang but you probably don’t know about that right? It seems all that people know is the pictures of lots of Muslims sitting in blue overalls behind wired fences, which has been deliberately used to evoke comparisons to gas chambers and the Holocaust, by ASPI. But when I say this, people often have a knee jerk reaction which is along the lines of: “How can you support genocide or another Holocaust, you’re evil.” Which is the exact problem because the whole premise of the discussion has been completely warped by so called accepted “truths“ and people manipulating our emotions in a classic appeal to pathos. Could the world really be this cartoonishly black and white and good and evil, where my side is morally righteous and our adversaries are morally despicable? This is exactly what Orwell described in his essay, “Politics and the English Language.”

Regarding the concentration camps narrative, just Google ASPI and you’ll realise that about 70% of this narrative originates from them. Not only that but they’re literally funded by the military industrial complex (e.g. Northrup Grumman, Thales) and their plan worked because Australia recently bought billions of dollars worth of crappy missiles from the very companies that sponsor this so called “think tank”. It’s most definitely NOT a conspiracy theory and it’s very revealing that these think tanks can be this brazen. If you want to get to the root of this, just search for the origin of common narratives like this one and you’ll find it’s just a handful of sources all repeating the same misleading points. You’ll be shocked at how easily narratives can be seeded in the media.

> Is it?

It absolutely is. Timothy brought the company a whole new profitable franchise. Based on that alone it would have been fair to compensate him well. That he was also in the middle of building the sequel under duress made it also the sensible thing to do. Late 90s and 00s games companies were toxic places to work, and getting demoted or fired due to a simple off-by-one error in a memory unsafe language is not reasonable, it’s extreme. But it was still the norm for the unhinged management of these games companies that couldn’t grasp the huge risks involved with games development, and were also unwilling to appropriately budget or compensate their staff for it.

> provided they're internally and externally consistent.

People claiming to be "brutally honest" is usually a red flag because they are almost never consistent about it. Its usually a phrase used to self-justify brutality with little regard for honesty.

Its sort of like the whole "if you dont accept me at my worse you dont deserve me at my best". There is nothing wrong in principle if it is taken literally - everyone has bad days and its unreasonable to expect perfection all the time; humans make mistakes, etc. But pretty much everyone using that phrase uses it as a self-justification to do what they want without regard for who they hurt.

Idk, im always wary of any phrase that can be twisted to justify behaving badly towards others. Some people hurt other people, and they'll take any turn of phrase, twist it, in order to self-justify to themselves that what they are doing is ok.
They are weaponising their Account service to protect profits from playstore and Android. Does this not run afoul of any laws?
Many of us have tried A* but because the maze is so "small" (16x16 or 32x32), the "just solve it every time" using Dijkstra's or a flood fill or similar algorithm wins out.

In particular, in A*, the "to be explored" queue has to be kept sorted. This sorting dominates the compute time.

For example, using the "flood fill" method on an 8-bit processor, depending on the state of the maze, it took less than 3milliseconds (hand optimized assembly) to solve a maze. On a Cortex M4, with decently thought through maze representation, but not optimized beyond that, it takes under 1.5milliseconds. This is in the "don't need to bother" category.

This is a great article to start from:

What we have done is extended it to be time based rather than distance based i.e. we take into account the motion parameters - acceleration, maximum speed on the straight and through different turns, distance and use that together to generate a cost table and then use the cost table to generate the fastest path.
Maybe you should have just said something instead of kneejerking the flag button then. This whole conversation wouldn't have needed to take place.

I would have been happier to have had the record set straight (from the GC perspective) last week than having to repeat my earlier opinion of my personal experiences with the NES/GB/SNES communities.
> No soft censoring

Of course. Only the hardcore and literal censoring from Turkey.
thank you for the valuable feedback.
You can categorize some motives as evil, but the definition of evil is quite relative. You could extend it to "disturbing the peace", which Russia clearly did.
This is why I will never pay for YouTube Premium. Imagine having a recurring charge that you can’t terminate because your account was deleted for some unrelated service, and you have no phone number or office to contact.

Limit your interactions with Google to only the services you most need, and you will probably be safe. It’s too dangerous to go all-in on Google, because you could lose your entire digital footprint from an AI bot with no recourse other than HN and Twitter.

What profit in public systems and with non-profit insurers is driving increased screening?

Nihilism aside you seem to have a deep misunderstanding of evidence based medicine. While cost is a consideration in population-level screening programmes you seem to be ignoring that it is balanced with benefit and is not decided by insurers but rather the USPSTF.

> what the workers care about is effectively meaningless because the workers are not in charge

The agency in charge of screening (USPSTF) takes the work-product of physicians and other health professionals (workers) researching and building evidence on health outcomes (what they care about) which establishes the standard of care that is then forced down by the government onto insurers.

On an individual level I can also advocate as a physician by recommend screening regimens to patients who's care I am involved in and force the insurer to pay, which is what we did for breast screening before the USPSTF caught up.

Sure if you want to take a reductionist view I am using profit (specifically the fear of liability) as a tool to force the insurer but that does not mean what I care about (reducing breast cancer deaths) is effectively meaningless.
You are assuming a lot if you think Google won't action "related" or "nearby" Google accounts.

> I think Musk’s product vision is noble and clear: to make Twitter as neutral and transparent a speech platform as possible. No soft censoring, algorithmic manipulation, etc.

You should look up (or speak to ex twitter employees) about how pro censorship and pro-algorithmic manipulation he has been. The difference is when the topic is related to him or his companies.
Yes, I'm not counting the salary as a benefit.

I'm not really familiar with US pension plans so I stand corrected.
> But you wouldn't for QUERY?

No, any good HTTP client or server allows unknown/new HTTP methods. If they are not recognized, they are treated as POST. This is a requirement of the HTTP spec.

I've already used QUERY in a few places, and it basically universally just works. Adding a request body to GET would practically be much harder to deploy and depend on.

A few years ago PATCH was added, and back then there was a bit more friction with some HTTP implementations only allowing a fixed set of methods, but this is mostly not true anymore.
Is it possible to obtain phones like the Iridium 9575A or Sectera models as a non-government user? Seems like the non-secured versions are usually available but if encryption isn't really export controlled anymore I don't see why these phones aren't available to everyone.

"Rinse and repeat
That’s my std::launder joke "

best answer I've got so far :)
This sounds like you've missed the point entirely.

> It has happened twice that they found a problem in my blood check. Both cases it was nothing but if it had been, knowing it early could have saved my life.

The point of the movement as I understand it is that this is actually a pretty significant problem. Extra checks due to "possible problems" aren't free - it's always paid for by somebody, and even if that isn't your wallet directly, it still take up time, inconvenience, and usually physical discomfort. Some have pretty significant risk of complications. Often, nothing is found or what was suspected to have been an issue wouldn't have affected the patient's quality of life. Exactly where the line should be drawn is debatable, but the point is it's not necessarily a good thing to aggressively find and investigate all "possible problems".
Indeed. I guess that whole DUAL_EC_DRBG random-number-generator story - the NSA backdoor deal with RSA is essentially true? No confessions yet it seems, however.

If the Goose needs a few more days to lay the golden egg should you reduce it's food budget?

Seems kind of short sighted to punish your high performers. I can think of multiple times this happened in my career.

> I am not fully sold on the idea of him losing a bonus is 100% because he defended the person who did it.

He seems to say in the video that part of it was not fingering who did the bug and the other was that his boss wanted someone else's bonus to be higher so he removed some of Tim's bonus.

I'm curious, which episodes are describable as "not only programming"? I ask since I can't think of one.
I’ve said this many times: stop using ChatGPT as a database. It does not contain facts.

It may appear to contain some facts. Some may also be actually true.

The truly useful usecase is as a reasoning engine. You can paste in a document and ask some questions about the facts in that document. Then it does a much better job, enough to be actually useful.
Language generated without regard to its truth value is different than language that cares about its truth value. Ask Harry Frankfurt.
I did read that but just assumed it was hyperbole. Jan 6 was some broken windows and doors. [Edit] And some people got hurt though I expect this in a big riot A few militia members had weapons but nothing high-tech and most despite being dressed up as soldiers had no combat experience. They had been planning that incursion for over a year on a public audio blog. I think the only real surprise was that the militia that normally wore Hawaiian shirts were not wearing them. Journalists from Frontline had been embedded with a few of the militias for a year leading up to the event and they had been coordinating with POTUS the entire time. These guys were not qualified or capable enough to cause a wide spread cellular outage.
>Why should OpenAI be more liable for a tool that they've created than any other tool creator where the tool is intentionally misused and warnings on the tool ignored?

Because they provide a service, not a tool.

The oddest thing to me is that he claims he heard about this when opening the check. I don't know how I would have reacted to that but it would not be well. Definitely not with enough grace to go home before writing a resignation.
N = 1 and all that but the change to elevate blue check accounts actually organically made me stop using Twitter. I respect their right to monetize however they feel is best, but it elevated the most ignorant and illiberal and downright hateful and toxic tweets from the dullest and most ignorant and generally worst people the platform has to offer. It simply made the platform unpleasant to use in the way its UX had previously encouraged me to use it, so I stopped.

Maybe I'm alone in not wanting to see (real example off the top of my head) apologia for a mass shooter's neo-nazi tattoos pushed to the top of my feed in the interest of "neutral and transparent free speech". But I don't think so.
I don't think your hypothetical scenario is possible.
China does not have "concentration camps." All that reporting goes back to a single man: Adrian Zenz.
You have to combine that with some kind of assurances that the window that an key leak happens over is pretty finite, otherwise you can leak one key and not notice and you've lost your redundancy and you're no better off. And you may make incident response mistakes due to a false sense of security when you're made aware that the second key leak has happened.

So, you really need to be doing everything else correctly first and can't use that to fix sloppy key management and monitoring/prevention.
No problem! Keep it up with out of the box integrations, focus on U.X. and developer experience and I think you will be on track to become as big or bigger than Hashicorp :)
Interesting. You already don’t have to worry about revoking JWTs if they’re sufficiently short lived. This gives you the exact level of protection as a short-lived mTLS cert, because if that gets stolen the attacker can continue to establish connections until it expires, unless as you say you revoke the certificate. So clearly I am missing something.
Not that I would be surprised but are there any real examples of this? I've considered setting up separate accounts for things such as email to reduce the risk of losing it in a random ban.
That's a different error context I think. It's a mistake if the model produces nonsense, because it's designed to produce realistic text. It's not a mistake if it produces non-factual information that looks realistic.

And it fundamentally cannot always produce factual information, it doesn't have that capacity (but then, neither do humans and with the ability to source information this statement may well be obsolete soon enough)

Though I wouldn't go so far as to say that the model cannot make mistakes - it clearly is susceptible to producing nonsense. I just think expecting it to always produce factual information is like using a hammer to cut wood and complaining the wood comes out all jagged

The pest control I'm talking about 'releasing' is literally already in Carolyn's back yard - Carolyn being the post-doc researcher subject of TFA, based in California, USA.

So, yeah, it's really dangerous, but probably only for these species of fruit fly.

I'm not suggesting we (Australia) would not validate it against other related species, including native fruit flies, and then do a risk / benefit analysis based on those findings.

Regular inoculation of trap bait/fruit, regional dispersal schedules, etc may be all that's required to knock pest population numbers down periodically.

I don’t believe the the US government ever threatened to take Twitter down if it didn’t comply with their censor requests. It’s just that those requests happened to align politically with those running Twitter Trust & Safety.

My understanding is that Erdojan threatened to throttle the site for the entire country - a cost that maybe you or I may not have incurred if we were in that position.

At the very least, Twitter was transparent about the content restriction, which is certainly better than how the previous team operated.
