> A likely outcome, the way we're going, is that a bunch of people get really rich and everyone else becomes super poor and possibly starves, and wars break out. I just think that, after that, AGIs also end up in charge of the planet and from there we either die or we have no say in how things go from that point on.

Rich getting richer [x]

Poor starving [x]

War [x]

Powerful gain more power [x]

Based on how I already see the world, honestly, I'm not sure that's much of a prediction.
While I’m far from the best and brightest, as a father of three I most certainly scrub toilets and changed my share of diapers.
> Why should the app developer pay anything at all?

Because Reddit makes money off the ads. They can't guarantee third parties will always show the ads in the way they've designed.

So now they are charging third parties the cost of losing ad views.
wasmer has a well-documented history of malicious behavior, they are very clearly not the coolest kids in WASM town, and very clearly not who you want to be aligning yourself with, but of course do whatever you like :shrug:
I feel like HN is the sort of forum where I can get away with being irritated by this. My inner mechanical engineer is rebelling.

Those two moving bodies are plenty squishy, and there's a lot of suspension absorbing forces there. There's also lubricant.
This is interesting, thanks for the links.

It seems like the dimensions of fairness and group classifications are often cribbed from the United States Protected Classes list in practice with a few culturally prescribed additions.

What can be done to ensure that 'fairness' is fair? That is, when we decide what groups/dimensions to consider, how do we determine if we are fair in doing so?

Is it even possible to determine the dimensions and groups themselves in a fair way? Does it devolve into an infinite regress?
All I want for Christmas is some glasses that give me the equivalent of two or three responsive, stable 32” QHD external monitors and a decent field of view (like >=110 deg.).

I feel like this would be easier for manufacturers to achieve and refine if they weren’t trying to make their glasses do everything else (AR industrial apps, VR gaming, etc). It seems to me that just about every professional would want a pair for plane/train trips at least. While not a market as huge the one dreamed of by offering the holy grail of VR, it’s still a sizable audience.

To me it’s the holy grail of remote work. I can do a lot of my job from just about anywhere, but certain parts really benefit from having sizable external monitors which I’m absolutely not lugging around. Every alternative solution (external 15” screen(s), projectors) are far less than ideal workarounds, despite possessing the advantage of being obtainable.
You can ALMOST take all of the arguments about gun control and replace "gun" with "AI". AI is a powerful thing, and can do great damage in the wrong hands. Any powerful thing can do damage in the wrong hands.
The difference between AI and guns is right in the name. AI is intelligence. It could conceivably act on its own. A gun (usually) will not do anything except what its builder or owner commands it to do. So the problem with AI is half what the owner commands it to do and half what it decides to do on its own. And that does make it fundamentally different and potentially much more dangerous than other powerful things.
As to which of those problem is the bigger problem, the people who control or what it decides to do on its own, I would say the owners are likely the bigger problem. If someone builds AI without safeguards in place or explicitly commands AI to do bad things, then we should expect a bad outcome. If owners act responsibly and ethically and build in safeguards, we should prepare for a bad outcome but expect a good outcome.
If you have a Ford with the 2.9L V6 still going after all these years that is impressive. Between the oil pump only making 6 psi at maximum RPM and the cylinder head's including a design that was very likely to crack they didn't last long out on the road.

Also keep in mind, the emissions of pollutants is much higher from this older engine while the emission of CO2 is probably lower.

I very much agree with this. While [redacted] and the UK don't share a language like the US and UK do I have found the [redacted] and Brits are much more alike than most people realise. Far more so than I found as a Brit and Americans.

Obviously not saying one is better than the other. They're just different and I felt very much the "alien" when in America whereas I felt "at home" in [redacted] in just a few months.

I guess there is a lot of similarities in way of life in the UK and in [redacted]. Healthcare is very similar. Education isn't too different. General support for the social care system is the same. Etc. So while the language is different the overall cultural differences between [redacted] and the UK are tiny having seen it first hand.

Funny story but when I've meet people back in the UK and they learn I moved to [redacted] they always ask how hard I found it and are shocked when I say the [redacted] and the Brits are really similar so it wasn't really hard at all. Some are almost offended by it hah.
I’m hoping GPT will remove the information cutoff date. I write plenty of terraform/AWS and it’s a bit of a pain that the latest API isn’t accessible by GPT yet.

There’s been quite a bit happening in the programming space since sept 2021.

I use GPT to keep things high level and then do my normal research methodology for implementation details.
That's like calling Tesla a battery maker. You can't buy a bare battery from Tesla or a CPU from Apple.
Ah, thanks for the clarification. Adding “of your organization” would clear that up.
If you are owed wages, salaries, or commissions and the business you work for goes bankrupt, you are given priority over all unsecured creditors.

But what that means is that if the company is out of money and out of assets worth anything (as a lot of cryptocurrency adjacent orgs that went bust were), then there is little if anything for them to owe you.

You may get a few cents back on the dollar after banks and investors sell off everything left to cover their secured claims.

It's kind of shitty but that's just how debts work in the US. They owe you money but they have none and wash their hands of it so now you are out of luck.

Now in the case of the OP they probably would still get paid out given the org in question is still operating and is not bankrupt. It'll just take time for the court to do its thing.
Here is some straight forward feedback and advice. There is no compelling reason to use your chat as of now.
Look at the first 3 things you talk about. Private. Anyone can setup a private group already an dozens of msging apps. Real Networks. Same as first, can already be done. Topic oriented. So channels?

You might be a skilled dev, but you still have to make something that is either better than what exist or different.
it’s not about difficulty.

it’s about building useful intuition to guide your curiosity the next time an eyebrow goes up.

bsd is used in prod only slightly more than macos.
I think the problem with “food deserts” (kind of dramatic term but that’s probably the point) is that they are significant hurdles for the working class (maybe they can order, but can they justify that in their budget?) and serious issues for the very poor who don’t have transportation.

The important question is how many impoverished or nearly impoverished people live in a food desert.
you can just charge third parties the cost to cover loss of ad views

Except that's not what Reddit is doing here. They're charging 3rd party clients ~21X what they lose in ad views, pricing them completely out of the market.
Phind.com uses Bing search again. This have decreased the quality of results significantly. On the other hand GPT-4 can use Bing now too. I tried GPT-4 with bind only several times and it was so bad in comparison to GPT-4 and much worse then phind.com. Btw you can force the GPT-4 on phind.com if you use regenerate icon. I'm usually ending up with stopping inference and regenerating with GPT-4. In any case, the quality of code generation and in general the model capabilities seem to be deteriorated. However I can't back it up with numbers. It is just looks different and more simplistic.
You added a generation there. Sonia was Rajiv's wife - not his daughter.
A lot of the recent comments about AI safety are about generative AI models, which looks like a specific enough classification for this subject.

>some of the people in our team died due to covid complications, others still suffer the side effects of it - not being able to work at all.

Long COVID is having a real impact on technical people.

There's a reason Google buys COVID rapid testing kits in bulk for any of their onsite events. One of my friends working behind the scenes was gifted a grocery bag full of leftover tests.

Governments around the world have largely abandoned us to a disabling virus.
Here is the crux. When asking about non-code stuff, it would confidently lie and that is bad. When asking about code, who cares if the code doesn't work on the first go? You can keep asking to fix it by feeding error messages and it will get there or close enough.

It's obvious what is happening. ChatGPT is going the non-code route and Copilot will go the code route. Microsoft will be able to double charge users.

I don't get it. Isn't the whole critique from you guys that their snowflake-sensitivity is performative and in bad faith, thus harming the more normal people with wokeness or whatever?

Is this just a new evolution in the discourse now where the kids are actually more sensitive? But that this fact is still condemnable or something?

Like I get it, kids are bad, but you guys have to narrow down your narrative here, you are all over the place.
I live here lol I know what its like
Perhaps they are cash flow constrained, which in turn means they are GPU constrained, since GPU's are their biggest expense?

I renew my AHA BLS cert every other year as a requirement for my EMT certification. You do breathing when you have a second rescuer available to do compressions.
I trust the judgement of future AI more than the judgement of the average current politician.

I look forward to a "day the earth stood still"-like overlord that punishes aggression, greed and corruption: current human systems seem to be inadequate at solving these issues.
Years ago, I lived in the San Francisco Bay Area. At that time, working a full-time minimum wage job wouldn't cover rent in the cheapest dive I could find listed for San Francisco. At that time, a room in an SRO was like a thousand dollars a month in SF.

I've said many time that I believe California is the dumping ground for homeless people across the nation. California has something like 12 percent of the US population and 25 percent of the US homeless population and a high percentage of chronically homeless.

I was responding to a comment that opens with You're seeing this everywhere. Chicago, Philadelphia, and so on - although the problem may be worse in San Francisco.

The comment wasn't about San Francisco per se and my reply was not about San Francisco per se.

The nation as a whole needs to address certain things. San Francisco likely cannot solve this alone, no matter how draconian they are willing to be.

People go there for the weather, among other things. That's not a factor policy can resolve.
Speaking of Brits and Swedes:

A stereotypical antipattern:

1. A Swedish girl and a British guy meet and start living together in Sweden. (Yes, somehow, it tends to be that gender config.)

2. Since "everyone in Sweden" speak at least a little English, the guy doesn't bother learning Swedish.

3. The British guy can't get a job since he doesn't speak Swedish.

4. The British guy gets bitter and starts posting in the forums at thelocal.se, (run by bitter UK socialists who went through the same thing and are now super angry at Sweden).

5. The couple breaks up, hopefully before having kids together.

6. ...

Culture clash is real.
Yes but not in Malmö where she lives. Look at a map.

But it really can't today, not without a bad actor giving it specific goals and figuring out ways to make those yield real-world outcomes. Which is the entire point of the article.
Usage Metering for ChatGPT-Powered LLM Apps
> My comment was mostly about the comment about developers underpricing their apps. If all apps would charge a minimum of $5 there would be a lot fewer app users.

Not all apps are worth $5/month, but this particular one that people apparently love enough to spend hours per day on certainly seems like it should be. A slightly nicer calculator app that you use twice a month? $0.99 is fine. A professional productivity app that saves a high-value worker hours of time? Way more than $5/month.

It's ok if not everyone can afford an app.

> Why should the app developer pay anything at all?

The app developer is just a proxy for the users, who are using Reddit without seeing any of Reddit's ads.
And then this class decides policy
How does the Apollo maintainer get to decide what's a reasonable price? It certainly can't be through hand-wavy and supposedly "generous" estimations of how much money Reddit makes.

Only Reddit knows how much money it loses per user who doesn't see ads.
Well, my grandfathers surname was Hickman, and I was born in WV.

With many other things, I'm sure it's to maximize profit.
I had final exams in the US, in 2 different states, in both public and private schools. I have 2 kids, and 16-odd neices and nephews in 5 states, from 2nd to 12th grade in both public and private schools. Everyone talked about final exams. I think they get 'officially' called other things; in my state they're called Milestone Assessments, but they sure sound like a final exam to me.

"Georgia Milestones is a single assessment system that consists of end-of-grade measures in English language arts and mathematics in grades 3-8, end-of-grade measures in science in grades 5 and 8, end-of-grade measure in social studies in grade 8, and end-of-course measures for specified high school courses."
Officially, those were non-spy Earth observation satellites. Not that that means much, but this one is actually labeled a spy satellite. Besides that, KMS-3-2 is known to have gotten to orbit while failing to stabilize and KMS-4 is not known to have sent any signals back.
It's not like an arbitrary imposition, that's the data it was trained on and it's expensive to train. I hope they find a way to continually train in new information too but it's not like they can just remove the cutoff date.
Check out Open Assistant for the reinforcement side of that dream.
It will depend on which implementation specific behavior a given library uses. For example, guile has `#{}#` syntax for verbatim atoms. If a library uses that it will not work on any other scheme. Guile and gambit also have divergent behavior when e.g. parsing char literals `#\)a` parses correctly in guile but not gambit, and on the other hand `'a'b'c` reads as `c` in gambit but `a'b'c` in guile. And these are just issues with variant behavior in the reader.

The list of these kinds of edge cases is long so it probably winds up being easier to try to just run a library to see if it works. I doubt anyone has done a systematic survey.
Not that I wouldn't want gangs disarmed and disbanded, I surely do if possible they are dangerous and do terrible things, but mass shootings are not really their thing, the largest chunk of gang violence is inflicted on other gangs.
All AI companies (OpenAI included) are now working full tilt on making AIs improve themselves (writing their own code, inventing new pipelines etc). I don't know why choose anything else to work on. This is a prime directive, that will bring the greatest payoff.
What interests me is why the developers originally thought that interposing a DataView() was a speed improvement, and why the benchmark results at https://github.com/nodejs/performance/issues/2 are at odds with the author's benchmarks in the headlined article.
Another subscription. Great. The reddit client I use is brilliant (relay for reddit pro), not sure what they're doing about this but I'm not using the official client and I only use reddit on my phone. I'm really sick of subscriptions though, I'd rather just pay up front and not have another subscription
Not sure if you either remember being a kid and/or have kids of your own, but negative consequences are almost always inferior to positive consequences, or simple reframing. That doesn't mean there should be no negative consequences ever, life is hardly so black and white. But a discipline system built primarily on negative consequences has troubling relationship costs that only become obvious much later down the line.

Parenting via negative consequences is actually very similar to industrial externalities. Sure, there are results right now, but the cost of those results will devastate the environment 10, 20, 100 years from now.
They either figure out how to write scripts or ask AWS support how to get that done.
I've always wanted to get one done, but I've heard that doctors can just say no, and not let you get one. For reference, I know that I would want any of my children to be born through IVF (for genetic screening reasons), and since you can always have sperm frozen, might as well just reduce risk and get a vasectomy after having them frozen. But the only reason why I haven't yet is because I'm fairly young, and doctors don't like young people getting vasectomies for some reason.
The actual data is that SF has unusually higher rates of property crime compared to other major cities. https://www.sfchronicle.com/projects/2022/fixing-san-francis...
Currently clients talk direct to reddit's servers. But if reddit started billing for API requests, you can bet every appmaker would run a caching server to reduce the number of API requests.

Or they'd do some kind of peer-to-peer caching between clients.
The bit about plugins not having PMF is interesting and possibly flawed. I, like many others, got access to plugins but not the browsing or code interpreter plugins which feel like the bedrock plugins that make the whole offering useful. I think there's also just education that has to happen to teach users how to effectively use other plugins, and the UX isn't really there to help new users figure out what to even do with plugins.
Great content and great answers except for open source question. Sam is saying that he doesn’t think anyone would be able to run the code at scale so they didn’t bother? Seems like a nonsense answer, maybe I’m misunderstanding. The ability for individuals or businesses to effectively run and host the code shouldn’t have an impact on the ability to open source.
Because size doesn't matter as much and the countries supplying hockey player do not have as many black players. Hockey is a rural sport where you need access to a ice rink if you live in the city or enough space to flood your backyard.

Football and basketball are the two sports black American kids participate at the highest percentage. Baseball use to be higher but that has shifted to Spanish/rural Americans. The reason for the shift probably has to do with the money/time involved. Get drafted out of high school and sign multiple million dollar and playing in the pros right away is safer than a low million dollar signing bonus and 7 years riding a bus in the minors
(Airplane founder here) Airplane isn't YC backed. Though interestingly my prior startup, Heap, went through YC and has tons of YC-backed competitors (Amplitude, Mixpanel, Posthog, etc).

Personally I like that YC remains agnostic to the ideas and is willing to back competitors because it ultimately means more great startups get funded. Later-stage investors care more about conflicts because being involved at the level of taking a board seat matters a lot more for conflicts.

At this point they've backed 1000s of companies; if they had to vet that entire list for conflicts to back their next batch it would be incredibly difficult. Also, given the stage they're investing at, tons of companies pivot and end up competing even if they didn't start out that way.
With the current technology and methods, correct, you have to have tons of money that you would rather gamble than invest.
Teachers will still be teaching (and this is probably what NCERT expects) these basic topics, because teaching the topics that remain won't be easy without them.

My sibling was in grade 10 when COVID hit, some topics that had been removed from the final exam were still taught (although in a somewhat brief manner, considering this was online schooling).

Indian politicians say a lot of dumb and pseudo-scientific garbage, but a few subpar comments here are wildly quoting those to act as if they're rewriting all of science in India. They've purely made omissions, no additions/revisions.

There are plenty of benchmarks with factual questions.
Wait… what? Can you elaborate.
You are missing a bunch of things, but the truth cannot be spoken on this site.
Sadly, events are far more complex than counting items. For example, during the Columbine shooting, many students thought there were 4 shooters (while there were only 2), because at some point one of them remove their hoodie and the other turned their baseball cap backwards. The police thought there were shooters on the second floor because of an optical illusion.

These types of problems are very widespread - it's not rare that people misremember details because of the stress and trauma, and it's also well known that the process of describing/asking questions can cause bias into the victim, as seen in the many cases of people admitting crimes they didn't commit after long interogations.

I've also heard that the quality of police sketches was highly related to the person making the sketch, some have high correlation rate but that is not the norm i.e.: the average sketch artist might not be reliable on average.

JCS Psychology on Youtube is a great channel showing the processes happening during interrogations, if you're interested.
So only allow Reddit premium users to use third party apps, like how Spotify does.
OpenAI already had GPT-4 months before they released ChatGPT 3.5 . Everyone that has used both will know what a dramatic difference those two models represent. Furthermore, the internal GPT-4 was reportedly significantly more capable than what was eventually released.

Who here with experience does not think these neutered late releases do not tilt the playing field?

"Open"AI was founded assuming that premise. Talk about a 180.
