it is far less willing to provide code, I get better results and faster out of 3.5.

I am at the point that 4.0 is basically not worth using as single entity, but it seems that using the api and generating some combative/consultative agents yields some interesting results, but not super fast.

So when someone at the IRS with no oversight does something utterly evil and totally illegal for whatever reason they had and your business gets ruined as a result, you are bankrupted and you could have easily prevented it all because any judge would have seen it your way but you didn't get to take it to a judge because it was secret, you're ok with this?

To prevent you from maybe doing something that is presumably already illegal in the future.

Of course if the something isn't illegal so the secrecy is required to prevent you from taking wholly legal actions then that's also ok?

Why is there /any/ need for /any/ secrecy here at all?
As someone who lives in a low-cost-of-living place, and who occasionally contracts to US companies, let me phrase it this way.

I'm very happy with $x. I don't really care what a SV person gets. Thats irrelevant to me and makes zero impact on my standard if living. If $x is smaller than a US salary then the employer is happy too.

Once employers figure out your job can be done remotely (something the WFH cohort are bending over backwards to do) they'll discover the global labour pool is huge. And astonishingly smart. And speak good English. And are prepared to work US time zones.

Salaries are willing buyer, willing seller. If your salary offer of $60k puts me easily in the top 1% of salaries in my country, then I'll take it, and be happy.

I only use GPT-3 as a coding assistant.

If my introduction to ChatGPT had been GPT-4 I would have not been anywhere near as impressed.

GPT-4 often refuses to do what it is asked whereas gpt-3 just happily writes the code.

If they retire GPT-3 then I'll be looking for other options.

GPT-4 just isn't the same thing.

I don't feel that way personally... I have Nth level anxiety, maybe even N+1 level anxiety about losing my job to AI.

To clarify: a guy flew from Chicago to the UK and bought 800 Beanie Babies from me. I helped him package them and mail them and US customs snatched them all. He was the one that was actually out. I had his $250,000 in cash.

Note: If you hire an armoured truck to collect $250,000 in cash from the airport and then take it to an anonymous warehouse in the middle of nowhere to pick up a couple of boxes of soft toys the security guards will assume you are transacting a drug deal and will freak out.
> I'm sure it was super painful for the people who had to actually set up the current flows, but I guess that once you customise JIRA to your needs, it can work really well. The issue probably is that many companies don't want to bother setting up good, streamlined processes, or just don't know how.

It’s actually not as bad as you’d think to set up. The reason Jira is so universally hated is because everyone uses it and very few people spend any time thinking about how it should work. In most companies it gets adopted by shadow IT, and is supported by whatever team member was most excited about it. But their competency isn’t Jira configuration, it’s widget support, so they spend the bare minimum amount of time setting it up using online tutorials and various blog/SO posts. They don’t follow any recommended best practices because they don’t know they exist. Eventually that person leaves/gets promoted or the system just becomes so widely adopted IT is forced to take over support. By this point though, the damage is done, the system is a mess of half baked badly implemented ideas. And there’s no budget/time to start from scratch. So it just limps along, being hated but no alternative being offered… until some VP discovers ServiceNow…
Yep, whereas before it would generate a cohesive whole class in Typescript from a set of instructions, now it gives me the framework of the class with “// fill out the rest of the class here”. Worse than GPT-3.5. They’re going to lose subscriptions.

The thing about AI generated code is it may do what you want or it may do something else. It's hard to know which is the case. That means you the human programmer must verify the AI generated code. And to be able to do that, you must understand the code written by AI. That suggests that languages which are easy to read )i.e. to understand) will have an advantage in the AI era.
Without disagreeing with you, I was only chiming in with my experience in the same context as the author has written the article which is computer/software systems. Which is that being a part-time sysadmin is a great way to get into the computer systems field.

I think within the software engineering field there's a general agreement about what "systems engineering" means and entails. FWIW here's an OCW course[1]

Similar nonsense going on the UK with the new "Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act"[0]. Ostensibly it's been written to crack down on the type of attention-grabbing climate protests we've seen recently with people blocking motorway traffic, disrupting major public events etc., but (leaving aside the question of whether these types of protests should be stopped, or whether the existing legal structure isn't enough to stop them anyway) the law contains some preposterously vague wording that should alarm anyone who cares about the right to protest in a democracy. For example, it outlaws "intentionally or recklessly causing public nuisance" - a protest that doesn't cause "nuisance" isn't much of a protest, is it?

I have a $150 phone and it's constantly slowing me down and wasting my time. When I switch apps 4GB RAM + 3GB swap is not enough to keep the other apps open, so I lose what I was writing on Reddit if I quickly respond to a text message

It doesn't have a lot of extra features like a good touchscreen (have to frequently select the correct candidate word), good GPS, NFC, OLED screen (actually I don't miss this as much as I thought)

I will buy a more expensive phone next time, maybe a discounted previous flagship

I don't think you've understood the post at all.

There's nothing in my post about stopping them from exercising border control.

There's nothing about where that might take place.

The point is, if you have enforceable laws then those that the laws are being enforced on also enjoy the rights available to them under the same laws.

A search (of electronic equipment) requires cause (this is why the warrent is needed), and detainment also requires some degree of cause.

Arbitrary search and detainment is what we ascribe to totalitarian nations.

That's great, thank you. I probably sold them those Beanies. I basically extorted all the stores in the UK to sell the rare ones out of the back door and then sold them to rich husbands in the USA to give to their rich housewives.

I would buy them from Ty employees too as they had the limited edition ones. I remember one I sold for $13,000 that I was playing soccer with in my living room before I boxed it up and mailed it out.
I see these posts popup every now and then. I admittedly don't use GPT4 or chatGPT that often, but I don't notice that much of a difference. Is it possible you try to give it harder and harder tasks and it is failing at them instead of the easier tasks it solved when you used it before? Is it possible it is just scaled back due to over use? Is that possible? It could be a dumb dumb question. In my experience even a few weeks ago, for Swift and Kotlin I found that the outputs of chatgpt and gpt4 are comparably similar and sometimes useless without a good amount of human intervention.

Sartre would be the most popular author, with "No Exit" (Huis Clos) being the classic text (it includes the famous "Hell is other people" line). I'm personally also rather fond of The Flies (Les Mouches).
Just to add: the EU mandates certain standards that other territories do not necessarily impose. For example: turn signals on cars: in the EU, they must be separate from brake lights and colored yellow or orange.

That is: (1) vendors may abide by different standards elsewhere, and (2) implementation of those different standards may cause incompatibility (eg. US rear lights may not be compatible with EU models).

While that might not completely justify such rules in all cases, they're not always fully anti-consumer either.

Brazil had a special queue for US visitors in early 2000s, forcing them to get fingerprinted, as a reciprocating policy. I doubt the fingerprints were actually digitized or stored - it was likely more to annoy people into pressuring their own government to stop treating Brazilian nationals in that way when visiting the US.

I wonder if that might have something to do with potential military use?

I know there exist range of everyday goods that can be used in order to make weapons and they are more tightly controlled than other goods, especially in import/export.

Does a (possibly) high quality lens fits into that? I don't know, but it rang a bell immediately I heard about the restriction.
We'd also take those 99 quid flights to NYC and return with several designer watches. You had to ship the empty boxes and paperwork by FedEx though because if they found them in your luggage they knew what you were up to and busted you for import taxes, duty and VAT.
The noncompetes I've seen in California tech companies prohibit simultaneously working for the company and its competitors. But you could always quit to work for the competitor, as long as you don't break the confidentiality agreement and don't break the recruiting agreement.

It's more complex when you work at a megatech company and there's barely anything you can do that could not be consider competition, but at a smaller company, it's not too restrictive.

> Why does the IRS need any secrecy at all here?

Jackson clearly cites the risk that "upon receiving notice that the IRS has served a summons, interested persons might move or hide collectable assets, making the agency’s collection efforts substantially harder."
well he did cut a deal for himself. I wonder if it was serious enough he could have pressed it further.
Is there a class of problems where Databricks Spark might be the best perf/cost solution?
Seems about the same to me and I have been using it daily for several months now for code, Spanish to English translations, and random stuff like film recommendations. The quality remains consistent.

I'm personally of the opinion that the observable jump in quality between 3.5 and 4 inflated people's initial assessment of its capabilities and with continued use they are noticing it's not actually the omniscient machine god that many are so inclined to believe.

Either way, these kinds of posts are meaningless without some kind of objective standard to judge the model by, everyone just sees what they want to see. Despite claims of GPT4 being nerfed, I've yet to see anyone actually show evidence of it. There have been dozens of studies done on its capabilities so this is something that can actually be demonstrated empirically if it's true.
It surely escapes me. What does it mean?
> when someone at the IRS with no oversight does something utterly evil and totally illegal for whatever reason they had and your business gets ruined as a result, you are bankrupted

From a subpoena? How? Whom? Is the concern the bank will run out of resources with which to respond to court orders?

You know what can be ruinous? A flippantly-filed warrant.

> prevent you from maybe doing something that is presumably already illegal in the future

What? A suspected tax dodge's lawyers bank was asked to provide accounts from or to which the suspect wired money. This wasn't a fishing expedition; the IRS convinced a judge to grant the subpoena. They asked the bank for records, then the bank let the lawyers know it complied.

This wasn't in pursuit of a future crime. The IRS had already found Polselli liable. He had been noticed of this liability. Then they went to collect.
I think you're overestimating how much bandwidth LoRa can handle. Because of airtime fairness, you're only allowed to be transmitting about 1% of the time. Best case LoRa is about 253 kb/s. 1% is 864 seconds, for a total of 25 megabytes a day. That would probably require you to be right next to the transmitter. Real world usages is going to be closer to single digit kilobits/second, maybe 1 megabyte/day.

Also because of how Bitcoin is P2P, it's impossible to declare where the transaction is coming from. Transactions are all cryptographically signed and freely shared between nodes until picked up by miners. To figure out who the original sender is, you would need to host the majority of nodes so that the sender gives you the transaction first. Even then you can't prove they are the original sender rather than a rebroadcaster. There's a also few services that will broadcast a transaction for you: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Transaction_broadcasting

I don't disagree with you that Helium (or any crypto) is a scam. I couldn't dissuade one of my friends from buying the hotspots, and he has not made any money on them. There's also some sentiment that "Amazon should be paying me for the bandwidth they're using!" with Sidewalk. Also I don't think networks like Amazon Sidewalk or Helium get direct access to the internet: they wanna go through Amazon's API or Helium's to be able to charge the company fees for the broadcast. Probably to track and log it too since it's only a few bytes anyways.
I don’t think you have any good reason to think you’re inherently less competent.

We were close to that a few months ago in Lebanon: the caretaker government, led by a Muslim prime minister, decided to postpone the changing of the clocks to after Ramadan, but Christian authorities ignored the directive and changed clocks according to the original schedule.
