All attorneys appearing before the Court must file on the docket a certificate attesting either that no portion of the filing was drafted by generative artificial intelligence (such as ChatGPT, Harvey.AI, or Google Bard) or that any language drafted by generative artificial intelligence was checked for accuracy, using print reporters or traditional legal databases, by a human being. These platforms are incredibly powerful and have many uses in the law: form divorces, discovery requests, suggested errors in documents, anticipated questions at oral argument. But legal briefing is not one of them. Here’s why. These platforms in their current states are prone to hallucinations and bias. On hallucinations, they make stuff up—even quotes and citations. Another issue is reliability or bias. While attorneys swear an oath to set aside their personal prejudices, biases, and beliefs to faithfully uphold the law and represent their clients, generative artificial intelligence is the product of programming devised by humans who did not have to swear such an oath. As such, these systems hold no allegiance to any client, the rule of law, or the laws and Constitution of the United States (or, as addressed above, the truth). Unbound by any sense of duty, honor, or justice, such programs act according to computer code rather than conviction, based on programming rather than principle. Any party believing a platform has the requisite accuracy and reliability for legal briefing may move for leave and explain why. Accordingly, the Court will strike any filing from an attorney who fails to file a certificate on the docket attesting that the attorney has read the Court’s judge-specific requirements and understands that he or she will be held responsible under Rule 11 for the contents of any filing that he or she signs and submits to the Court, regardless of whether generative artificial intelligence drafted any portion of that filing.

Local tap house and Burning Man - including Homebrew 4A Homebrew, which is essentially a neighborhood tap house at Burning Man.
Ehhh. It doesn't sound like you were selling massive orders of them, so this sounds like an excuse to me. If it was genuinely that simple to re-create and easy to sell, you'd have a million counterfeiters who would have stumbled upon your publicly accessible Etsy site and copied it en masse.
If you code that same thing in js, java, c++, python or rust they all look similar. If you can achieve the same performance in a language understandable by more people you will be better off.

Another example is, Russian is much more expressive than English due to the more advanced grammar. That said if you want to express yourself to your American peers and they don't speak Russian you don't write in Russian. If you are all Russian sure.

We use kdb/q in our firm but I would rather not and will be trying to migrate away from it in the future. It is good but bigger picture more trouble than it is worth. At least our code is formatted and not all one liners like Morgan Stanley.
The link only seems to open with an American IP (at least with my little tests).
Tell HN: Why homelessness in San Francisco is permanent
I've just found out why homelessness is basically a permanent or decades-long affair in SF: the city has outrageously costly rental rights bundled in a 28-day (or more) purchase of a basic roof over one's head. Thus the market cannot provide bulk discounts >27d (the payment schedule makes no difference), and in practice it gives a 7d max discount, which is lol.. 15% off daily rates? (How much can a 7d discount go?)

Thus the price one pays for lacking upfront loans for Long '[1]' rent: a mere haircut off daily rates (until one can afford them no longer).

Just saved the city $0.5b [2] on research.

==

[1]: long enough to divide out that outrageous bundle to workable rates.

[2]: though entrenched greed means perfectly zero chance for the $ to be directed to people with lived knowledge, so more like 0.5b, annually, to keep the show going until appetite changes (then 0.8b/yr).

[3]: Solution: bundle-in minimum rental rights instead of maximum; and stagger as much as possible, like someone who has lived in a house for 7 years needing more guardrails than someone 7 weeks.
This article fails to explain why someone should explicitly reach for an RNG over PRNG.

It also suggests os.urandom as a Python RNG which (as the name suggests) uses /dev/urandom or the getrandom() syscall, both of which are PRNGs

It works happily with a brush head without NFC. That was the first thing I tried with my new toothbrush.
I think you're accidentally making a jump in meta-levels:

The equivalent of an existing handwriting recognizer for e.g. RSA wouldn't be a model that tells you how to crack RSA, it'd be a model that _does_ crack it (maybe by returning a probability distribution over the plaintext that's better than uniform). That feels pretty unlikely to me personally, but maybe that's doable, who knows.

For the standard of "the LLM tells us how to crack RSA," it feels like the equivalent for handwriting recognition would be the LLM outputting a description of a novel algorithm for handwriting recognition (and probably one that isn't just an existing one with some hyperparameters tweaked).

My understanding of the weaknesses of current LLMs is that they're actually pretty bad at that, since they tend to regurgitating existing content when they're able to.
Gbcompo23: A coding competition for the Game Boy
We are hosting another edition of the infamous gbcompo. There are already over 4000 usd in prizes and a lot of documentation resources were updated and improved to onboard new developers with game boy dev tools, such as rgbds (assembly), gbdk (c) and gbstudio (no coding).
Maybe, but it's surprisingly good in the face of all the non-version-indicating complaints about how terrible people think it is. Mostly I doubt that the lawyer was using GPT4, because the lawyer sounds like the kind of person who would be ignorant of the significance of the difference.
with this concept of testing for actual electronic equipment vs nefarious object disguised as an electronic device my protections of shutdown still hold
Yes, but a usual pattern for smaller DBs is, for example, to run a full backup weekly and then daily incremental backups. Also, SQL dumps makes easier to do partial recovery, like for a single table.

On this size class (~1TB) I see PITR backups using something like Barman as the only viable alternative. (Of course you can also copy the whole VM/Disk etc)
full disk encryption keys are not in memory yet
That's GPT-4, not ChatGPT (3.5-turbo I think).

Also, yes you can get correct information by tailoring your prompts, but that isn't the issue. The issue is that some prompts lead to bad results and confusing/incorrect answers. You changed what OP queried by providing the riddle and asking for hints to that riddle, whereas OP asked for a random riddle and then hints to that riddle.
With much more specificity and control, and automatic.
One of the happiest persons that I know is a "dispassionate" programmer. Let's call him AP.

AP got a job as an intern in a local small company, and has worked in the same for over 12 years. His company is a Java shop that cranks out run-of-the-mill enterprisey applications.

AP doesn't build microservice architectures or large scale services. He doesn't get to use the latest and hottest technologies either. In fact he hasn't learned many new techs, except when the odd client comes up with a new requirement. AP doesn't make tons of money, only slightly above the average national wage. Still that afford him a comfortable standard of living in his small, low cost of living town.

AP job might sound boring, but he enjoys it. He goes to work every day, writes features, and get backs home. He knows and gets along well with everyone in the company. After so many years, he knows the codebase inside out and the work is easy and comfortable. He goes out for lunch with his colleagues and takes it easy most days. The company hasn't really been growing, but it hasn't gone bust either, sort of keeping a stead stream of work and revenue.

AP is not a passionate developer by the American standard. For him, his job is a way to pay the bills and put food on the table. He doesn't follow tech blogs or podcast, doesn't fiddle with new frameworks or languages. Sometimes might get a passing interest in some cool new tech, but doesn't spend hours of his own time invested in pet projects or open source. In fact I hardly ever know what he is up to at work since he seldom talks about it.

So what is AP passionate about? He might not tell you about his latest exploits in Rust, but he'll tell you all about his new road bike. He doesn't attend software conferences, but has run half and full marathons around the world. He doesn't spend 3 hours after work coding a personal project, but having a beer and dinner with friends. He doesn't have a 6 figure job, but his income allow him to pay for his living expenses (including a mortgage in a new 2 bed flat) and hobbies such as travel. He might not work on "cool" projects and "make history", but his job doesn't leave him mentally exhausted, so that he can use his energy doing things he actually care about.

If you made it this far, I want to make clear that this isn't an allegory. AP is a real childhood friend and everything I said is true. AP is not an ambitious person, and might not be "successful" for some. He is also one of the happiest people that I know.

I always found a bit weird the cult of hustle that we have in the dev world. Not many other professions people would be expected to go above and beyond and feel the passion that is expected of us. I suspect that a good chunk of our profession are closer to AP that we think, but we are oblivious to it because those are the folks that don't frequent HN, write blogs, post on twitter or record podcasts.
As it gets very hot here, people generally only go out for walks at two times of day, which makes it easier - early morning, and evening. In a typical evening, we'd probably see 10-15 people go by. Most walking a dog or pushing a stroller around. We don't have sidewalks here - there's so little traffic everyone just walks in the street.
He'll just outsource it to chatGPT.
So? Bad lawyers do this too.

And like there is something OpenAI could do that wouldn't involve stopping cutting and pasting on every internet enabled device in the world?

There are a bunch of real problems to deal with, OpenAI should not spend a minute on this nothing problem.

This is like saying encyclopedias should stop kids from copying entries as their own work.
Is there a term for this "winning the lottery jackpot is unbelievably unlikely, but every week we hear about someone winning it" effect? People get it when the media reports on the lottery, but somehow miss the amplifying effect on pretty much any other topic.
Congrats Dan and everyone on the React team. Great framework and has been an extremely productive decade for me personally.
Mandating truthful disclosure to the public and customers is very good! Just like with required list of ingredients. I made a petition for this much more generally:

I read it less as a proscription against work-life balance and more as an excuse for those who are enthusiastic and young.

Someone in their 20s is still new to their career, and it's exciting to be paid to do this thing you would be doing for free anyway... its totally understandable if that person dives into the deep-end and is totally immersed for a while.

There's also just the exuberance of youth - one thing I miss most about my 20s is the ability to get excited about something and go head-first into it. Some combination of age and random other responsibilities and concerns that one picks up over the years makes that much harder in my middle age.

Some people (like me) tend to need to learn the hard way - the downside of going hard at work all the time was a lesson I needed to experience. It's better I did it young than now, I'm not nearly resilient enough anymore to make that mistake.
In federal courts, when you file something under your account (often, attorneys have staff do the clicking to file), it is the equivalent of signing. And what you sign, you vouch for.

This standing order reiterates what any practitioner _should_ know. It a rule which states that you should follow the rules! But as we learned from the Air Avianca filing, at least one lawyer is missing something very basic about what it means to sign a filing in federal court.
Where do you live? Almost all of Africa, many parts of South-East Asia, India, many parts (if not all) of China, and nearly all of South America are heavily cash-based societies. Try to work your way up to Northern Burkina Faso, which has little to no electricity in most places, and your stance on cash being a poor substitute will quickly change.
There have always been border controls. Before precise land borders became a thing, the checkpoints were more likely to be at natural bottlenecks such as bridges, mountain passes, harbors, and city gates.

Even in the period of supposedly free international travel before WW1, the US government barred a large number of people from entering the country.

Unbelievable misunderstanding of ST to think markets, or 'economic drivers' in their terms, would lead to anything like ST... The whole point of ST is that they are in communism or anarchism even. Nobody on the Enterprise was getting paid
It turns out there were precedents:

Case: Thompson v. Horizon Insurance Company,
Filing: Plaintiff's Motion for Class Certification.
Citation: The plaintiff's attorney cites the influential case of Johnson v. Horizon Insurance Company, 836 F.2d 123 (9th Cir. 1994), which established the standards for certifying class actions in insurance disputes. However, it has recently come to light that Johnson v. Horizon Insurance Company is a fabricated case that does not exist in legal records.

Case: Rodriguez v. Metro City Hospital,
Filing: Defendant's Motion to Exclude Expert Testimony.
Citation: The defense counsel references the landmark case of Sanchez v. Metro City Hospital, 521 U.S. 987 (2001), which set the criteria for admitting expert witness testimony in medical malpractice cases. However, it has now been discovered that Sanchez v. Metro City Hospital is a fictitious case and does not form part of legal precedent.

Case: Barnes v. National Pharmaceuticals Inc.,
Filing: Plaintiff's Response to Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgment.
Citation: The plaintiff's lawyer cites the well-known case of Anderson v. National Pharmaceuticals Inc., 550 F.3d 789 (2d Cir. 2010), which recognized the duty of pharmaceutical companies to provide adequate warnings for potential side effects. However, further investigation has revealed that Anderson v. National Pharmaceuticals Inc. is a fabricated case and does not exist in legal jurisprudence.
> Etsy is also FULL of people who just print articulated dragons and other "entertainment stuff", where copyright/proper CC-licensing is, I would say, seems to be handled rather lax.

could be in the DnD space. could be some kind of hentai thing which kinda runs in that kinda direction but also way more likely to run afoul of the tos.

GPT does nothing but predict the next word (token, to be more exact). If you ask it for hints, it's going to come up with some hints that sound like they could be plausible in context of the original riddle. If you then ask it what the answer was, it's going to try to take all the earlier hints into account, because that's now the text it's trying to complete.

There's no entity sitting on the other side of the screen thinking about riddle's solution from the start. There's just a model that completes the given text one token at a time. You should expect similar results as if it was bunch of people passing a single piece of paper to each other, each writing a single word on it, not communicating with each other in any other way and trying their best to come up with coherent result. It's not going to make sense all the time.
Do they actually take credit cards nowadays? And do they expect gigantic tips?

I really hate shelling out $60 for a 20 minute taxi ride, then being expected to shell out an extra $20 on top of that and getting endless grief over wanting to use a credit card to top it all off
Nice, thank you.
It was only the other day I was copy and pasting from the old site. Looking forward to installing the lib and deleting some code.
RGBWatermark – protect art against machine learning
i keep getting it to write code that works but then its example usage makes no sense. i point out the code is write but the example it gives is wrong and it can almost never fix it. version 4.
That's exactly why they did this. They can lock out 3rd party vendors and also force you to buy new heads at an interval of their choosing all in the name of "ensuring quality".
Nice! If there were a reasonable path to get from here to there, I'd say we should share a google doc to firm up the definition/requirements. But since (as far as I know) there is zero chance of something like this working, we'd both be wasting (more of) our time :-(
I think it depends on more factors than just location. I am older and live on the eastside of the Seattle metro area, and our neighbors have been generally unfriendly. When we first moved in we invited a number of neighbors to a backyard BBQ, and afterwards, none ever reached back out to us, and even worse, another became extremely aggressive towards us. It's been over four years since.

We're thinking of moving, but housing prices are incredibly high and volatile.
ChatGPT 3.5 or GPT 4?

Almost every negative comment about LLMs is by someone using an older, weaker model and making generalisations.

Here’s GPT 4 giving me a riddle: https://chat.openai.com/share/1753ce5a-d44d-44ac-bc97-599a26...
> The protocol is stateless

> Clients can efficiently fetch updates from their current state a-la QRESYNC. This can be implemented effectively using the MODSEQ data already in modern IMAP servers, or by using a transaction log data structure. The server can always indicate to the client if it cannot calculate updates from a particular client state (for example, because it is too old).

Does not compute.
React - you have a special place in my heart
Aren't bodies inside ISS rotating with it? Or are you implying that the rotation of ISS is not inertial but is constantly propelled by engines? If engines are driving it constantly, why is not constantly accelerating it's rotation?
From what I've been able to tell, that lib is unmaintained and one of the original authors left and created this – https://github.com/react-hookz/web.

A lot of older hook libs "break the rules" of React by doing some weird stuff like silencing useEffects deps array, reading refs in render, etc. We tried to avoid that so useHooks will be future proof.
Well, if he really believes in this, which he should, he should shut down OpenAI and burn all the copies of its model and source code.

Right?

It's really not clear what is his motivation is.
The problem with glass bottles is that they're heavy so transporting them results in far higher carbon emissions than making the plastic bottle.
Leaded paint and Asbestos are examples of things where nothing was really done about them other than the manufacturers were required to slowly phase the products out. As late as the 1980s drywall contains asbestos, and both leaded paint and asbestos persists in a remarkable amount of products that remain installed in many houses throughout the US, to the degree where you're risking liability by not just blanket warning potential tenants about it.

So we didn't really do much about it from the homeowner's perspective.
> That's GPT-4, not ChatGPT

It absolutely is ChatGPT, the paid monthly "Plus" version, using the GPT4 model instead of the 3.5 model.
I've also heard (here) that after you get 20-ish questions into an instance you start getting the really weird output. Some of the conjecture was because that's about how deep they trained.

In any case, if that's true, that's a very short role playing session, unless there's a good way to retain info but reset the state that accrues and causes problems (if indeed that happens).
Why do people create petitions with only 10 signatures? How much impact do you think an online petition with a goal of 10 signatures can have? (Maybe the goal is dynamically updated but it still feels weird)
"He was a bad lawyer. I am a good Bing. I will send him to jail."
> But was it GPT4

I keep seeing this cop-out, which ignores that it's fundamentally the same architecture, and has the same flaws. More wallpaper to hide the cracks better makes it an even worse tool for these use cases because all it does is fool more people into thinking it has capabilities that it fundamentally doesn't.
is it some kind of safety item?
I don't blame you for this. The React team recently talking about "React Server Components" as though most React users are running it on NodeJS backends and introducing magic "use client" strings is putting everyone in a confused position and I don't think there's a good phrasing for you.
