> GPT-4 never contained such tasks and data

No task, but we need to be clear that it did have the data. Remember that GPT4 was trained on a significant portion of the internet, which likely includes sites like Reddit and game fact websites. So there's a good chance GPT4 learned the tech tree and was trained on data about how to progress up that tree, including speed runner discussions. (also remember that as of March GPT4 is also trained on images, not just text)

What data it was trained on is very important and I'm not sure why we keep coming back to this issue. "GPT4 has no zero-shot data" should be as drilled into everyone's head as sayings like "correlation does not equate to causation" and "garbage in, garbage out". Maybe people do not know this data is on the internet? But I'm surprised if the average HN user thought that way.

This doesn't make the paper less valuable or meaningful. But it is more like watching a 10 year old who's read every chess book and played against computers beat (or do really well) against a skilled player vs a 10 year old who's never heard of chess beating a skilled player. Both are still impressive, one just seems like magic though and should raise suspicion.
I searched for the word "infinite", and my suspicion was quickly proven correct:

> 9) Do not write infinite loops or recursive functions.

> Sometimes GPT-4 will write an infinite loop that runs forever.
The best part about this if you have that much conviction, you can buy 2025 puts and make a ton of money if you're right. Good luck!
It's not a direct contradiction because it's about active shingles, not the presence or level of the virus. It could be that the virus can cause two things independently.
An all-female group of 10 distinguished economists and area experts

Is that supposed to be relevant to the rest of the report? Does it mean they chose them instead of better qualified people so they could talk about it, or was it just the way it worked out, in which case why do they open with that? Not that the WHO has any credibility, but this just knocks it down another notch.
Neither the fact that it completely hijacks the back button, nor the fact that it plays sounds without consent does anything to endear this to me. I'd suggest giving those areas a bit of polish :)

As a practical question for how you learn guitar, it might also be a good idea to show notation instead of the name of the note (or both, or a choice). The number of times you need to find a note by name in guitar playing is... rare.
I’d also make a bet on the underdogs - for instance amd is only a devent software update away from snatching market share away from nvidia. I am surprised they are not hiring devs like crazy right now to beef up their ai gpu capability.

> Subtle, but important point: The transaction isn't rejected. It is not picked up out of the mempool and sits there until the congestion goes down.

Not if you submit another transaction in the meantime, because then your initial transaction's nonce will have become invalid.

Now you start to get why I called the nonce system “dumb”, because it has emergent implications with lots of things like this, for no good reason (the requirement should be nonce's uniqueness, that's enough for transaction deduplication, but they felt smart and added the “monotonically increasing” as well, and boom, concurrent transaction processing is a nightmare now, well done).

I can only comment on Linux and to a much lesser extent macOS, but IME it is quite stable.

I think never going 1.0 is an open source game dev meme or something. Xonotic is still pre-1.0 even after over a decade in development. Stable as heck.

I disagree with many of the conclusions about protocols. It does lead to some counter intuitive results, but if you want backwards compatible interfaces, you should indeed implement each version of the interface. For something like an input method, having the constraint that new versions of the protocol must be backwards compatible would be highly problematic. Having display servers and input method buses implement the versions of protocols that people use would be the best way to go, as it still means that input methods and applications themselves do not need to deal with this bifurcation.

Another highly misleading aspect is pointing out how many years Wayland has been in development. It's true, but it's not like progress has been linear. A vast majority of the Linux desktop ecosystem has been on NVIDIA graphics cards. I reckon Google probably has one of the largest deployments of Linux workstations internally and I believe they've only just begun the transition into Wayland. Thus, it should not be surprising that say, Chromium, has been behind on Wayland support.

While I empathize with people who think that the Wayland transition has been very expensive and slow, I don't really know what the alternative is supposed to be. There WERE and ARE some competing options. There was DirectFB, Mir. Arcan still exists. Probably others. Wayland gained mindshare as the baseline protocol for windowing, and here we are.

Will it fix everything wrong with the Linux desktop? Well, no. However, the painful irony of this post is that practically nobody uses XIM anymore due to limitations, they use out-of-band input buses. So each toolkit has its own plugin architecture for input buses, and then each input bus needs to have plugins for each toolkit, and you need to have the input methods themselves ported onto these. Note that you can also still use this approach if you want to in Wayland, especially important since Qt has been slow to adapt to protocol evolution lately.

All I can say is, it ain't going to be finished tomorrow, but a lot of what Wayland does really is architecturally a step in the right direction. There are some inherent downsides to the approach, but it also TODAY, right now, solves a lot of practical problems that users face that are hard blockers.

DoctorGPT: Document Organization and Chat
While this isn't a "doctor" implemented with GPT, it certainly could act as one if someone indexed enough medical related documents with it, or physics documents, or philosophy documents. We certainly don't recommend anyone implement a medical doctor with it, however.

The intent here was to build something that was simple to understand, didn't use an opinionated framework, and leveraged the idea of semantic knowledge graphs to manipulate the vector space, with the intent of increasing prompt relevancy.

If you find this valuable, I'd love some feedback on it. There are plenty of PDF indexing solutions out there for GPT, but many of them have limitations with document size and relevancy. It is my hope to continue working on this concept to make all PDFs accessible to LLMs, hosted or otherwise.

Thank you!

I see a lot of the "why do people hate Comic Sans" articles on the web think it's just because it's a handwritten, casual font used in inappropriate situations, but this seems like post-hoc rationalization. It's the Comic Sans look specifically that people intensely dislike, not "handwritten" fonts in general.

The original and better case against Comic Sans was that there were much better handwritten, comic-text-style fonts and that Comic Sans was a particularly bad instance of one.

Just ask Dave Gibbons:

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2009/aug/12/dave-gibb...

>"It's just a shame they couldn't have used just the original font, because it's a real mess. I think it's a particularly ugly letter form," he says. "The other thing that really bugs me that they've used an upper case I with bars on it: it looks completely wrong to the comic eye. And when you see store fronts done in it, it's horrible."
I figured out the basics before bothering to read the docs, so anyone who played classic RTSs will get off to a good start.

Some specifics about this game that make it unique:

1. You cannot build anything any where. There's the concept of a "region of control" that surrounds your Civic Center (Town Center equivalent) that marks the borders of your settlement. Building right on the borders expands it. Exceptions to this rule are made for docks, outposts Roman army camps (if you play as a Roman)

2. Besides mounted and siege units, your soldiers are also your builders/resource gatherers. Citizen soldiers. Non-combatant builders/gatherers are female citizens. As soldiers gather experience from fighting, they become more capable soldiers and less capable citizens.

3. The default UI uses traditional, civ-specific names for units and buildings (with English equivalents as secondary), which can be jarring at first. I swap them to make deciding on what to build easier.

That's a GM platform car:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GM2900_platform

GM already had 50% controlling share of Saab way back in 1989 and by 2010 they were wholely owned by GM.

I had a 1998 Saab 93 (2L petrol LPT) and was initially disappointed to find out it used the same platform as the Vauxhall/Opel Vectra. That said it still had those distinct Saab design touches and was pretty damned good in the snow and ice.

Even the 900NG which the 9-3 derives from was a GM2900 platform car.
GNOME has the fatal flaw that you can't configure trackpad scroll sensitivity. That means, if your trackpad is too sensitive out of the box, GNOME is simply unusable. Every laptop I've used in the past many years (a couple of Dells and a Mac) have had touch pads with too sensitive scrolling in GNOME.

It's fine in Sway or KDE, as they have scroll sensitivity settings.
ASK HN: Leaving startup, should I give up most of my equity?
I've been at my startup about a year and a half. We just closed our seed round. I am leaving for 2 reasons. 1. I don't have the stamina our boundless self-confidence I used to and I frankly find the stress of this type of company too much for my currently health. 2. My co-founder and I aren't compatible partners. I respect them as a founder and believe the company will be success (which makes it super hard to leave) but our approaches are too different and I've struggled to do my work successfully.

I'm leaving at a shitty time, and I get that leaves the company in a not so great position and pissed off investors, but I also think my co-founder is better off with a killer employee at this point aways. I'm most valuable at 0-1 or as a consultant/advisor.

Investors are trying to convince me (through my co-founder) to give up a lot of Equity for various reasons -- future fundraising red flags being a major one, me leaving at a critical time right after a raise, also discrepancy between me and employees (?!)

Investors wanted to try to get me to give up >80% of my vested equity, co-founder negotiated for them to try to get me to give up 64%.

I am willing to make a consolation to help out the team and acknowledge I am putting them in a shitty situation but 64% of vested equity sounds like a lot.

Legally I'm entitled to all of it (unless they find a loophole they can use to screw me over.) But the last thing I want is a legal battle or bad blood with a team and company I really care about. I tried to be as impartial as possible when describing the situation, would love thoughts, advices or anyone's else's experiences.

The first source isn't really accessible unless you have an account. Total exports in terms of adjusted cost _has_ stagnated: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/world-trade-exports-const....

I suspect sheer maritime freight tonnage may be a less reliable proxy due to factors like cost of shipping changes, role of air freight, tariff changes, etc. Maybe share all the trade and globalization graphs instead? https://ourworldindata.org/trade-and-globalization

Your second source, hilariously, predates the entire pandemic (which is when home prices really took off). It also says very little to support your point that we're "consuming more" housing because home sizes are growing. The Case-Shiller U.S. National Home Price NSA Index seems to suggest that home prices were rising only modestly until the pandemic. https://www.spglobal.com/spdji/en/indices/indicators/sp-core...
As a relative Linux outsider, the X/Wayland situation is definitely putting people off switching. We consistently hear "X is deprecated, don't use X, Wayland is the future" yet every single time we find, read about, or are recommended something cool it always ends with "oh by the way this only works on X not Wayland".

If there were one thing to deduce from the ancient history of using animals in warfare, it's that the people who manage to get animals to acquiesce to helping them tended to prevail. The willingness and intention exhibited by the animals in this video is just incredibly enthusiastic.

Watching that whale check its work is like the difference between someone sounding out notes to a song as they play them and knowing it well enough to completely rock it. Some people might read about operant conditioning in school and think this is just "circus training," but actually educating another being so that it can subdue its instincts and co-operate and reason about abstractions is an incredible accomplishment. This video is essentially an example of what could be called "whale dressage," where the animal is being educated to be fit for purpose. (from the French word, "dresser", meaning to train, or to set up for a purpose.)

The argument about "circus training," vs "education" is a very old controversy in horsemanship that persists to this day as well, and it's oddly relevant to ideas about animal consciousness and ethics around what intelligent life is. Such a great program.

Where's your head aaaaat. Where's your head at? You are unethical because at some point you decided it's not about teaching them, it's about catching them. I think you should take a minute to think about what your role actually is. Time is limited. Spend it on what matters.
The point is wrong, they don't have any claim to having created deep learning and so their perspective can't be used to argue for the reality of "superintelligence". Even if they did create it, the question of whether "superintelligence" is a meaningful concept or not isn't really related to what they would have had to go through in order to make deep learning work.

I also know input methods work great on Ubuntu (Gnome Wayland) because Gnome has first-class support for ibus.

But the article is specifically about incompatibility of input methods among different DEs: Gnome, KDE, wlroots-based environments such as Sway and Hyprland.

After many years, ibus still doesn’t work with wlroots, because ibus supports input method protocol v1 and wlroots supports v2: https://github.com/ibus/ibus/issues/2182

The list of recommended IMEs on Sway are all WIP: https://github.com/swaywm/sway/wiki/Useful-add-ons-for-sway#...

There is even v3. Kitty refused to implement v3 because v3 appeared even more unstable: https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty/issues/2814#issuecomment...

The wayland input method protocol is stuck at v1, and DEs/applications disagree about which versions to support. That’s why it’s problematic.
That event is amazing.

I had no idea how much cross correlation they produced (see the "Scientific Importance" sections). I love the fact that measurements got like 10 orders of magnitude or more better--that's just absolutely absurd.
>people today can't calculate a 20% tip

Earlier this week, I spent several minutes talking one of my co-workers through how I 'did math in my head' to figure out my half of the 20% tip we were leaving for lunch. Even something as rudimentary as moving the decimal place over one and doubling the result seemed like wizardry to them.

They aren't dumb. They've literally just never thought one second past reaching for a calculator. Which is kind of scary, because it means they have no way of sanity checking any numbers they come up with.
That's counter to nature. Does the apex predator care how many millions of years the prey species has?
I was part of GCP Cloud Dataflow team a few years ago. The status page is actually the standard for all google internal services (/statusz). I still miss them much.

In dataflow's case, container is not treated as the boundary. And there are several important things to note:

- Dataflow's VMs are in customer projects, so there's no risk of cross-tenant access.

- When launching dataflow jobs, the launcher identity is checked to have iam.serviceAccountUser IAM role, which means that the identity should be able to launch a VM with the same service account just fine. So dataflow is not escalating the permission beyond GCE VMs.

- Just as VM launched by someone, if anyone else can log onto those VMs are controlled separately.

- Container is used in dataflow only for convenient image delivery, not for a security barrier. VM is.
When you're going through it, it can make perfect sense.
The vulnerability sounds like it's inherent to SQL Server, and that cloud providers haven't been successful in blocking the underlying problem due to its proprietary nature.

Transgender healthcare and transgender existence as a whole is a particularly overt and luminescent example. We have always been seen as weird, but for decades I could generally expect to be able to go to a doctor and have it covered by insurance. Now in some states the government and its police forces would imprison that doctor for providing treatment and imprison my wife for teaching in a K12 school. We didn't have a lot of explicit rights in the past but we also didn't have these kinds of massive targeting and demonization campaigns by elected officials.
My point exactly; Yes, "crypto" is useful for many presently illegal activities, but on its face, it is arguably "morally neutral," so you can reasonably throw it in with "encryption," "anonymity" etc -- potentially dangerous techs that the bad guys CAN use, but also important for freedom in the face of authortarianism.

setpriv is very much a Johnny-come-lately here, dating from 2013, which was almost a decade and a half afterwards.

If you have BusyBox installed, you have runit's chpst and setuidgid built in to it. And most Linux distributions not only package that but also package one or more of these toolsets; most often daemontools and runit, but nosh has an Arch package for example.
Exactly. You made my comment unnecessary, but if I'm not wrong, JSX has proved this wrong 10 years ago:

> No one has structured HTML creation that's as easy as string templates.

Well, maybe it's about the "easy" part, maybe the author considers JSX string templates. I assume the former, because the latter would be absurd.

The advantages of so-called frontend "frameworks" such as React et al is 50% this point. Also a reason for Lit's subjectively slow adoption.
I did not forget that. Our tax code and wage laws have tiers for tip wage workers and non-tip wage workers. It was presumed that if you remove that carve out by abolishing tips, the part you mention would follow.

As for wage theft by employers, that is indeed a major issue already for both tip and non-tip workers. Why would anyone assume that problem would go away regardless of the existence of tipping?

I'm all for punishing wage theft aggressively, though that is a separate issue entirely.
I remain skeptical. NC=P? is still an open conjecture, so there could be problems which are decidable in P, but only when using a polynomial number of processors or superpolynomial on a single processor, but polynomial on a polynomial number of processors. Furthermore, the amortized complexity of common instances could turn out to be tractable on average (e.g., random 3-SAT instances are tractable unless they fall in a very narrow region where the ratio of clauses to variables is ~4.25, but NP-complete in the worst case).
