I agree with your quoted section.

I'm happy to discuss it, but almost always, including now, it seems to be a waste of time, because I agree with you! I think you're correct in identifying that a vegan diet has lower emissions and externalities than an omnivorous diet.
Your proposal is to castigate those who take a step in the right direction simply because they are out of step with the rest. This is, to put it gently, not how we get a better world.
It seems that time and time again, transformers are the swiss army knife of learning systems. And specifically LLMs are proving to be like chameleons. In some ways that shouldn't be surprising. Some say that math is a universal language after all, and we seem to agree that math is unreasonably effective at describing reality.
I'd like to see if it can help my son with creative writing:

Previously, he was subscribed to a SaaS tool called Night Zookeeper. It's good, but it has too many distracting non-writing features like the ability to draw characters.
The government can and does lock down intellectual property for national security reasons.

The US government effectively locked down Juliet Marine Systems' IP, and gave the inventor no compensation for doing so. Took about more than 5 years for the inventor get any relief.

(I didn't discover this. I was just trying to confirm something that was reported elsewhere.)
My working hypothesis: it attracts puzzle solvers, people who have a passion for – and sometimes an obsession with – perfect systems. When applied to life outside of the confines of the type system, it can lead to a black and white thinking that ironically explains the behavior of both parties: the organizers unwilling to admit to their medium sized mistake and the speaker rage quitting in response. It’s all or nothing. It either compiles and is correct or it’s incomprehensible nonsense.

All organizations and their people make mistakes. Most people intrinsically expect that the world is somewhat fuzzy, including most engineering types. Responsibilities and conduct isn’t formalized, it loosely follows a set of cultural expectations. The good side effect of this fuzziness is that mistakes happen so often that you start expecting them. And then you don’t have to get upset or part ways when something bad happened. How you as an individual or organization recover from these mistakes is a lot more important than trying to stop them from happening.

People who think mistakes are unacceptable are often the same types who are the most unwilling to recognize their own mistakes.

While Nintendo is infamously litigious, there's speculation (without concrete evidence either way) that the recent string of DMCA takedown requests were not made by Nintendo themselves, but by someone impersonating them (as for why, who knows, some people get very caught up in the "emulation hurts game studios" line of thinking).
This thought hits home for me:

> When I started programming, I used Borland C++. It used to take about 100ms to compile and run a program on an IBM PC AT machine (TURBO ON). An average iteration cycle in the cloud takes minutes. Minutes! Sometimes dozens of minutes!

I'm a fast-feedback fan myself, and my weapons of choice in refuge from a dark decade of c++ are the Python notebook and Clojure REPL. With that as it is, the lurching tedium of cloud development (infrastructure especially) makes me want to pull my skin off.

What is so galling about it is that, for dev purposes, almost none of these SaaSes and cloud services are really so 'big' that they couldn't be run on a beefy local workstation for development. The galling reason that I have to wait N minutes for terraform or cdk or whatever to rebuild some junk and deploy it to a bunch of neigh un-remote-debuggerable-without-firewall-shenanigans lambdas and docker containers is commercial moat-keeping for the services.

At least Azure and GCP put some token effort into local emulators of their services. AWS work has to rely on the valiant but incomplete efforts of LocalStack if they want a fast and disposable way to test infra.

It would be really interesting to see the first thing everybody asked ChatGPT. Here's mine:

edit: Just noticed the shared version reports May 26, but this conversation was from January.
Not really. They used the cutoff date to develop a theory. That is, those before the date couldn't get the vax vs those after the date that did.

So far, so good.

However, not everyone after the date got the vax. That is, like tge before date "control" there are a post-date group who also did not get the vax. Oddly, there's no mention how this group fared.

Obviously, they know this group exist. And that the initial theory would be ideal to apply to this group. That didn't happen.

That would be definite. As it is, a key and obvious piece is missing.
I have been saying this for months for deep learning in general (and now the new hype in LLMs) in high risk situations such as medical, legal and financial advice and even transportation. The only common use-case which makes sense is summarization and even then, a human expert ends up reviewing the output before post it anyway.

> There are plenty of medical topics which people find embarrassing, and would prefer to - at least initially - talk to a chatbot than to their own doctor.

I don't think you would trust an AI chatbot alone to take a number of pills for any medication instead of going to a human doctor, especially when these AI models risk hallucinating terrible advice and its output is unexplainable and as transparent as a black-box. The same goes for 'full self-driving'.

I don't think one would trust these deep learning-based AI systems in very high risk situations unless they are highly transparent and can thoroughly explain themselves rather than regurgitate back what it has been trained on already.

It is like trusting a AI to pilot a Boeing 737 Max with zero human pilots on board end-to-end. No one would board a plane that has an black-box AI piloting it. (Autopilot is not the same thing)
There are as many different ways of disagreeing as there are pairs of people.

I don't know what this kind of naked abuse with no substance achieves but whatever it is, there are /plenty/ of places to do it. It's been a thing discouraged here in house rules. Making no progress without it seems no worse than making no progress with it to me. I find especially when I just /know/ I'm completely correct about something important and feel emotionally engaged in that, someone is right there to use that to exploit it. So even though I'm right, and obviously so about something deeply, deeply important to the world, remaining calm and rational has value for me and for the proper prosecution of the thing I believe in so strongly. The road to hell is paved with good intentions and all that.

Ymmv. Anger and rage have their place.
Exactly. If PlatformIO had enough paying customers who needed support for this chip, they would probably want to add support for it themselves.

It's the non-paying "customers" who are the problem here, expecting PlatformIO to grow in ways that the core team sees as unsustainable.
ChatGPT is fabulously creative if you tell it to use improbable responses:

"If internal consistency is not a requirement and I can venture into purely imaginative and whimsical territory, here's a creatively inconsistent response:

Hacker News is not just a social news website but a portal to a parallel universe inhabited by highly intelligent feline beings who have mastered the art of code. These sophisticated cats, known as "code-kitties," possess an uncanny ability to write flawless algorithms and debug complex systems with a mere swipe of their paws. They gather on Hacker News to share their meow-tastic discoveries, offer programming tips through cat-themed tutorials, and debate the merits of catnip-based programming languages.

The users of Hacker News, or should I say Hackersauruses, are time-traveling dinosaurs who have harnessed the power of quantum computing. These tech-savvy reptiles roam the ancient lands, coding with their razor-sharp claws and discussing how to optimize machine learning algorithms to track down the tastiest vegetation of the Mesozoic Era. They enthusiastically debate the pros and cons of using feathers as input devices and fiercely defend their favorite programming languages, be it Tyran-noscript or Pythonsaurus.

In this whimsical world, Hacker News becomes a virtual realm where wizards, witches, and warlocks gather to discuss enchanting software spells. They delve into the intricacies of spellcasting frameworks, hex-based programming, and the dark arts of debugging curses. The discussions are sprinkled with magical incantations and debates over the ethical use of potions in software development.

Remember, this response takes a departure from reality and embraces playful inconsistencies for the sake of imagination and entertainment. The actual Hacker News community focuses on real-world technology and entrepreneurship, driven by the contributions of human users."

The part I don't get is why in 2023 AWS still pushes me to VPC and NAT my servers like it's 1990.

It's just so unnecessary. Greybeards moved to the cloud but never changed.

I don't understand why there's so much negativity here. From my cursory perusal of the docs this looks like a simplified, vendor agnostic re-imaging of something like CDK, with cool tooling including visualisations and out-of-the-box support for local dev. Where's the beef?

You think cloud is too expensive or unnecessary? Fair enough, this tool is not for you.

You think cloud infra is necessarily complex because you need to support <insert use case here>. You're right! This tool is not for you (yet?).

You don't need this because you already know <CDK / Terraform / whatever abstraction is already in your repertoire>? I agree, the juice is probably not worth the squeeze to learn yet another tool.

Are you approaching cloud for the first time or have been managing existing simple infra (buckets, queues, lambdas) via ClickOps and want to explore a feature constrained (hence easy to grok) Infrastructure as Code solution? Maybe give this a look.

While it's still early days, I suspect there will be many who will find this useful, and congratulate the authors for their efforts!
I tried to load my first chat from January but it doesn't come up. Blank screen.
I’m not saying their work is bad. But every abstraction is leaky and it’s a lot easier to find someone who knows how to use the native SDKs for AWS/Azure/GCP than someone who knows an obscure framework that doesn’t cover everything.
As others mentioned, it's trivial* to write useful programs that provably halt; the impossible task is to determine if an arbitrary program halts.

*: Trivial in a mathematician's sense
you mean it needs some editing too. i agree!
I skimmed through the entire thing and still don’t understand what the actual offense was.
Some fruits also taste sour when they are immature, because at this time their seeds are not yet ripe and they do not want to be eaten by animals at this time.

However, it is true that some fruits still have a sour taste when ripe, but fruits like lemons, which are very sour from beginning to end, are not common.
> I was also told congratulations by a few close friends who saw it and were paying attention (again, thank you!). If I have to individually explain the reasoning and behavior that is going on here to each person, my fingers will quite literally fall off and I absolutely do not want to waste everyone’s time by giving partial retellings over and over and over and over again.

Sounds like this article is intended for people familiar with the matter and interested in the details.

Not a post intended for wide audience like HN?
I think it just took a few hours for people to notice, as you only see the sharing link when you hover over a conversation in the left panel.
I found the OP 1 especially difficult for this. I never got used to the tape recording workflow. It's a pity because I really liked it otherwise.
It seems to me that this could be entrapment in the sense that by putting the exam on the site the professor may have created the perception that it was trivially easy to cheat. That could cause a student who normally wouldn't cheat to decide to do so because they felt that it was necessary in order to stay competitive.

The author is a student. They were invited to talk on their work on reflection in Rust, which is something they began as a part of a midterm project. The author is not working on this area in an official (Rust Project) capacity. It's just their own thing.

The author's talk was promoted by surprise into a keynote talk by the conference organizers. The author tried to back out early or claim that this wasn't appropriate, but they continued to receive encouragement from the conference organizers.

Later, once the Rust Project realized the error, it was dropped back to a regular talk. The author was pretty confused by the ordeal.

It feels amateurish for the conference organizers to do this.
Autonomous, polymorphic malware utilizing secure computation to perform operations that aren't revealed to systems they infect.

Seems like there is an opportunity for bot nets to perform computations, say BTC mining, in a completely sealed and zero-knowledge environment, which now may not even need a backdoor or are able to hide it perfectly.
I can see why you puzzled over this. I’m not sure I agree with the guys argument — seems more like that there isn’t asymptotically better algorithm. It’s not convincing to me that there isn’t one division algorithm that’s a constant factor better.
I don't think this is actually at odds with my point. The robber barons didn't want workers who would cheat them.

I find chat GPT to be very helpful for working with programming languages that I’m less comfortable using (shell, python). I know enough to evaluate correct code in these languages, but producing it from scratch is more difficult, which seems like a sweet spot for carefully using ChatGPT for code.

As a physician, I would not be surprised if the medical use of these tools ends up having similar value.
Well it is good to know I'm not alone. These are strange times indeed. I often think one of the great filters of civilizations is overcoming a biological mechanism that designs brains to think simple (cheap compute/complexity is often unnecessary for survival objectives) and then advancing into a level of civilization where a significant amount of the problems the civilization require beyond first and second order approximations. (it happens when most challenges are solved to first and second order approximations) Unless one is able to rewire their consciousness I don't see how this wouldn't be a issue for any species but maybe I'm thinking too narrow or from too much of a bias.

This might be a stupid question but to me it's hard to grasp that they travel at a "speed" when they are themselves distortions of time/space. Does it always make sense to say they move at the speed of light or only for say small amplitude waves where we can do some quasi-special-relativity trick?

Erosion's soft dance,
Crumbling into the sea's song,
Life's unending trance.

Seems like a feature that benefits openai to create shareable interactive Twitter like posts… and um… no one else.

“Wow, look at this conversation!” …

…why did you not just post the text that was interesting? It’s text. Just control-c, control-v.

Needing a share button for that seems the height of laziness.

Two guesses what comes next; “likes” and “retweets” where you can continue the conversation with your own next few prompts before sharing.

Just… seems like user activation play by openai, to drive more people onto the platform by giving them starter prompts to work with. Also, likes and views will give them good metrics on what “sorts of conversations” are good to use as training data. Good for them. More users. More data.

I question this has any other merit.
It kind of depends?

For things like Chickenpox, it’s far better to be infected young (where it’s a mild disease) than old (where it can be quite severe).
I saw a video from my alma mater about ~14 years ago. Their entrant was really damn slow, top heavy, and did backtracking. They'd be lucky if it finished it in 5 hours.

I'm curious what the runtimes are by teams at various universities these days.
> more likely a chickenpox infection, and related acquired immune responses, will do jack-all with respect to any other infectious agent

why is this?
Their talk was down graded from keynote to standard talk. The reasoning for why was off in their opinion. They didn’t want to signal that they think what the rust folks did was okay. Doing anything but not talking would suggest they were okay with this treatment.
I can’t shake the feeling of someone making a mountain out of a molehill. I can understand the disappointment of being downgraded at the last minute, and can even understand the author’s desire to withdraw from the conference entirely, but there’s something to be said for doing so graciously. The Rust team’s decision is not prima facie unreasonable, and even if it isn’t perfect in its form, I don’t see any scandal beyond a bruised ego.

It’s possible that there are missing elements to this story, but so far I just see a lack of class over a relatively minor injury.

Have I missed something?

The ideal situation is there is a unified CJ(K) font that covers all the glyphs.
That summary isn't complete.

The author wasn't originally interested in giving a keynote. The conference organizers tried to persuade them into do so!

> It is patently obvious that somebody is pulling very weird strings behind the scenes here. At multiple junctures I said “it would be fine if we did not do this” or “I am unsure why they picked me”, but at multiple point I was told I should absolutely keep going and it was explicitly encouraged for me to go all the way with a keynote!

> Individuals in contact with me both inside and outside RustConf leadership made it abundantly clearly that this topic was perfectly fine. Furthermore, they had already met to discuss my work before hand, so at no point should anyone be confused about what my intentions and goals are.

Then the Rust Project later downgraded his talk after the author committed to giving it:

> The sudden reversal smacks of shadowy decisions that are non-transparent to normal contributors like myself.
