Is it just me, or this could be the future of actually paying for search engines? I get way better answers for search queries through Chatgpt than Google for domain specific stuff.
Ha! Makes sense.

I abhor partisan politics but there are things associated with (e.g., Trump) that call for scrutiny.

Trump is a fascinating character and has broken so many norms that it's been mind bending. It saddens me that HN has many of his rabid acolytes that make any such discussion a shit show.
> At some point you just have to let shit go if you don’t want it to build up.

I think this is a very important point that is not addressed in the article. The article basically describes avoiding scar tissue as resolving conflicts so there is "zero lingering animosity". And sometimes (actually quite often, I think), only one person of the two in the relationship is prone to feeling any animosity about how a particular conflict got resolved. And in most (if not all) such cases, the best way to avoid the scar tissue is exactly what you say: let it go. Is it really worth feeling even a little smidgen of animosity towards this person, with whom you have a relationship lasting many years or decades, because of this one little thing? At the very least I think one needs to ask oneself that question, before embarking on the kinds of conflict resolution that the article describes.
Probably because they are literally overseen by political entities and their leadership is partially selected by the legislature. They are a political entity.
My question is, why not? I think we can all agree it's better, whether or not a noticeable amount for a given person doing a given activity, and it's pretty well baked into the stack at this point
lots of learning! also sounds like a bit of pre-existing aws state.

for round two, try:

- spinup a new subaccount to ensure you have total control of its state.

- data goes in s3 as jsonl/csv/parquet/etc.

- lambdas on cron manage ephemeral ec2 for when heavy lifting is needed for data ingress, egress, or aggregation.

- lambdas on http manage light lifting. grab an object from s3, do some stuff, return some subset or aggregate of the data.

- data granularity (size and layout in s3) depends on use case. think about the latency you want for light and heavy lifting, and test different lambda/ec2 sizes and their performance processing data in s3.

lambda is a supercomputer on demand billed by the millisecond.

ec2 spot is a cheaper supercomputer with better bandwidth on a 30 second delay billed by the second.

bandwidth to s3 is high and free within an AZ, for ec2 and lambda.

bandwidth is so high that you are almost always bottlenecked on [de]serialization, and then on data processing. switch to go, then maybe to c, for cpu work.

dynamodb is great, but unless you need compare-and-swap, it costs too much.
Sorry for the ignorance, but how should the json output be interpreted? Like, what does bugs: 0.28 mean in the example from the docs?
Facebook purged all their face recognition data a few years ago. It's not even an available feature now.
haha, clearly OP meant "freaked [me] out" but that was a funny way to point it out
I would do it in S3 + Cloudfront if your budget supported it. Mostly because I don't want to maintain a server somewhere.
> that it justifies taking away their right to practice law in a given state.

This seems a little weird. As far as I understand it, no one has a right to practice law.

There is a privilege that can be acquired, it one meets the requirements. If you somehow got through without meeting those, or if you start to fail to meet those... time for a new career.

> We don’t know the full situation here, but a personal injury case against a bankrupt airline for striking someone in the knee with the serving cart seems remediable?

I don't know about this particular case, but many cases and circumstances can be a "one shot at it" scenario. You fuck it up, it's tossed and you can't refile. There are many reasons and details, any of which might be messed up by a lawyer relying on a silly chat program to draft motions. One might miss an absolute deadline. It might be dismissed with prejudice. Appeals might be exhausted. This could even be true of the case in question.

In some cases, it might even be true if it was a criminal trial and your defense attorney was incompetent, that you don't get a chance to appeal. In California, I think, those are Marsden cases (someone correct me if I'm wrong). For those, you have to raise an objection during the trial.

So, if someone found out that ChatGPT gave their lawyer bad advice the day after their conviction... well, oops. No appeal for you.

I'll say it again. I do not want to live in a world where law license proceedings are decided on a "what's fair to the bad lawyer" basis. No one has a right to be a lawyer, if you're bad at it there are plenty of other occupations you might make a living with where incompetence doesn't threaten so many lives and livelihoods.
> Nearly everything that hurts you makes you weaker, not stronger.

I think this is, at the very least, highly variable from person to person.
65 is hardly old though, and the population of people over that age is only growing. You’d be better of having some kind of public service test every decade for everyone than an arbitrary age cutoff that is going to result in a lot of wasted human potential.

You can't leak API keys if there are no API keys to leak! The article recommends OIDC for apps, which is a step up, especially if you rotate the bearer token, however there is another option - use short-lived certs.

Our project Machine ID is replacing API keys with short-lived certificates:

https://goteleport.com/docs/machine-id/introduction/

Another great option is SPIFFEE https://spiffe.io/

The adoption is slower than we wanted, because it's not trivial to replace API keys, but we see more and more companies using mTLS + short lived certs as alternative to shared secrets.
That was a lot of aggressively dismissive words to say "I don't feel that 2ms is worth optimizing for." Have you considered that you might be wrong in this case, dramatic comparisons aside?
I have to take out salary insurance because welfare benefits wouldn't even begin to cover living expenses. You have such a thing in the US too. In Denmark, it's easy to fire and easy to hire (let at hyre og fyre [1]) so what am I liking here? At US Google I understand it's 30 days paid time off a calendar year: that's the same standard as Europe.

Yet Google will happily pay the same role less than half when hired here.

I've done my research: this is cultural inertia, as another commenter alluded to. "We pay this much because that's what the market rate is for [country in Europe]".

Whenever you present a certificate to the passport, its current time is updated by the "valid from" value if it's newer then the current time.

It's not perfect but if you started you trip in another country with such a system and where a more recent certificate was used, your passport will deny access.

There is a growing body of evidence to suggest that heart deaths are up by a significant amount, that those deaths _may_ account for most or all of excess deaths currently seen, and that they _may_ be related to safety issues with some of the mRNA vaccines.[0]

I resent the fact that statements like this have become political and that I now have to explain myself. Nevertheless, here we go: I have no vested interested in this being true. I've had two doses of the stuff, I want it not to be true. However, there are legitimate questions here that have not been satisfactorily addressed. I'm raising this because reading the article and the other comments I can see nobody else has.

I would encourage people to look at the link and scrutinise the evidence presented themselves before deciding whether or not there might be an issue here that needs looking at.

This is what microgrids are:

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

If solar on rooftops (with batteries or EV connections) became really widespread in the US it may make some sense to be able to isolate communities from the rest of the grid to localize failures. Utilities would probably hate it but it could be really resistant to disruption.
No. What does this even mean? How would you make this actionable? LLM's are not "fact retrieval machines", and open AI is not presenting chat GPT as a legal case database. In fact they already have many disclaimers stating that GPT may provide information that is incorrect. If humans in their infinite stupidity choose to disregard these warnings, that's on them.

Regulation is not the answer.
Sure it’s something to take into your model, but I find the just so framing weirdly pressing in these types of threads.

This seems kind of absurd. Jira, React, TailwindCSS and "Advanced SEO Friendly coding" for 7200 a month? Seems like, at that point, a normal software contract and/or employee would be a better route. Plus, no tests or QA until the 12k a month plan? I'm not really seeing what value-add there's supposed to be using a service like this, vs. normal contract, hiring or agency use. Definitely not at this cost, at least.
That's omega?

How did you read that from what I said? The people who would benefit most from de-dollarization would be the US working class working in manufacturing, agriculture, and primary product exports because suddenly their labor would be cost-competitive with other export-oriented economies.

De-dollarization would really be a massive blow to the finance and services class because the US would suddenly be a far less attractive place to park your money whereas it would be good for the class which produces products for export.

Michael Pettis' books have a pretty good coverage of this perspective.
Yes but this already happens, my dad was told by his primary at 25, "you look good, see you when you turn forty." If your insurance is paying for them it's for whatever bean and counting reason they want and they pay you not insignificantly to do it.

So if your doc schedules them, usually because you're a woman and age related care starts at like 25 go to them, and if your insurance pays you to go, go. And generally it's an uphill battle to get men to go to the doctor at all because obviously they're "healthy" so I can't really bemoan the "unnecessary" visits.
Nice writing, investigation and findings that will benefit to a lot!

A careful reading of the source article states:

> With each track, the participants were given a short biographical text that either emphasised the natural talent of the performer, or the hard work that had helped them to develop their art.

You said:

> one side gets explicitly talked about as a natural talent, or being naturally gifted. This is a bonus with zero counterpart

Which is incorrect. It is important to clearly and accurately read the source material to avoid your own bias.

We cannot know, based on the article, which statements (the emphasis on the natural talent or the hard work that helped them develop their art) were the primary cause of the findings. You can either assume or you can create a new experiment that tries to distinguish between them.

I can't say that I am correct, but to suggest my analysis "doesn't make much sense" is both inaccurate and frankly rude.
If you read my message it talks about experience. This is an ad hominem attack.

Do you perchance know if they ever caught the perpetrators or discovered their motives? A quick Google doesn't seem to show much and the article didn't seem to have details either
By the way, Simon can't get ChatGPT to say that the particular case is true _because he's asking about a particular case_. ChatGPT doesn't know it said anything about this case in another session, so it won't confirm it's true.

Either ask it for some other legal sources and ask if those are true (and then try to see if a few aren't), or use the API to feed it its own answer about Varghese etc and then see if it will say it's true (because at that point you've made it think it said this).
No joke, getting a colonoscopy was the best decision I've made all year. I'm incredibly grateful that my doctor twisted my arm into getting one even though I'm under 40 and wasn't thrilled about the whole prep situation.

(It was IBD, not cancer, but regardless. One of those things you'd rather catch before it lands you in the hospital.)

That is the most expensive source of electricity.
I’ve come to the belief that making statements that may or may not be true, but with reckless disregard for whether or not they actually are true, is indeed lying.

Of course we know ChatGPT cannot lie like a human can, but a big reason the thing exists is to assemble text the same way humans do. So I think it’s useful rhetorically to say that ChatGPT, quite simply, lies.
I do cancer research, including using mouse models, so believe me, I know the difficulty :-)

Getting promising drugs into humans is -hard-, and this research is interesting, but this press release is still kind of shitty.
> Generally, yes; for example, routine colonoscopies are not practiced in many developed countries, and it doesn't necessarily translate into any difference in overall health outcomes. One recent study is described here:

This overstates the impact of the Nordic study. If you go to the original article[0] you can see why, this study had very low participation and event rates which limits how strong of a conclusion we can draw from this as treatment effects may not be accurately reflected (for example in some countries the colonoscopy arm only had 32% participation). We also have historical studies looking at gFOBT and flexible sigmoidoscopy showing mortality benefits which can be extrapolated to colonoscopies. For a full picture of the evidence behind colon cancer screening I would suggest referring to the USPSTF which provides a publicly accessible summary and rationale[1].

With respect to developing countries, colorectal cancer (and living long enough to suffer its sequela) is mostly a developed country problem although this is changing.

In recent years, we have been seeing a surprising rise in colorectal cancer rates occurring at younger ages presenting with advanced disease which has led to the USPTF lowering the recommendation for screening to 45 from 50. With this trend in mind and historical data, we would really need extremely strong evidence to make the claim that screening colonoscopies are ineffective which the Nordic study does not provide.

> Similarly, while hypertension is a problem, there is scant evidence that routine treatment of it is beneficial.

This is just boldly incorrect and a VERY dangerous statement to make. The article you link to is entirely irrelevant as it looks at acute hypertension which is a very different beast, this article is describing what we call permissive hypertension in medicine. We have known for several years now that we do not need to tightly control inpatient blood pressures (which are often temporarily increased due to stress/illness) and that doing so is harmful. This says nothing about the consequences of untreated chronic hypertension in the outpatient setting.

For treatment (beyond the scope of USPSTF which does provide a grade A recommendation for hypertension screening) we can turn to the ACC[2] which also helpfully provides an evidence synthesis specifically drawing your attention to:

"In a meta-analysis of 61 prospective studies, the risk of CVD increased in a log-linear fashion from SBP levels <115 mm Hg to >180 mm Hg and from DBP levels <75 mm Hg to >105 mm Hg. In that analysis, 20 mm Hg higher SBP and 10 mm Hg higher DBP were each associated with a doubling in the risk of death from stroke, heart disease, or other vascular disease."

I think it's worth noting here that, without plugins active, ChatGPT doesn't 'find' anything - everything is just baked in as a single giant blob of vector data. That's why it has a specific date cutoff as to what it 'knows'.

This seems very inconsistent with what I remember. "I wouldn't take a trump vaccine" is completely incongruent with the fact that the vast majority of "the gubment can't make me wear a mask or take a vaccine" were in the middle of trump country. Trump got boo'd for promoting the vaccine after he lost. They would have been just as anti-gubment regardless. There was a brief period of time I heard "I wouldn't take a trump vaccine", but that was about a month or two before the election. It completely disappeared as soon as it was obvious that the FDA wasn't going to let trump circumvent basic safety controls to push a vaccine in 6 months (before the election) instead of 12 months (after the election).
Just a heads up, when folks say “complex 3d objects”, it’s usually assumed that they’re talking about things like GLTF files, which contain geometry, materials, lighting elements, animations, etc, and which Unity/Unreal can absolutely load/unload at runtime or even stream from a media server online (so they don’t have to be in the binary).

However, once you cross over into scripting code, you are in fact crossing a barrier, and it does become harder to hot-reload the way you can in a JS app. Like, the fact that Unity scripts are written in C# and have to be compiled and linked is a pretty huge impediment that you don’t face when loading almost any other kind of asset.

I’m right there with you: Hot-reloading and 3D is a thrilling combination, and tools like react-three-fiber are miles ahead of anything I’ve seen in Unity-land in terms of laying foundations for stuff like this. I’d recommend emphasizing “hot-reloading code” when drawing this distinction with Unity/Unreal folks to better get across the magnitude of what you’re looking for.
