I think the point is more about what people do when others aren't watching. Uber and Lyft have drivers. Public transit has other passengers, staff, and is generally constructed in a way to be more resistant to malfeasance (and amenable to cleaning) than your average car.

Self-driving cars will not have that, so you need to counter it somehow. Cameras and fines are probably sufficient, but OP's point that probably charging people more upfront will reduce this is probably valid, as the type of person who is willing to pay more is also going to be easier to collect fines from.
I heard that several that million domains didn't have valid contact info. Was your domain one of those, perhaps?

It's not ridiculous. You need to consider the numbers involved. If one extra person breaks his leg because he didn't look and see the quiet car before crossing the street, that's a fair trade off for reducing the noise pollution for a million people.
Hell, I don't even recall ever seeing a pronoun on SO. Most of the discourse is about the answers themselves.
Yes this is quite standard for an OS. You might want to create a user that has access to some things but isnt as annoying as you could log into it.

The other way to look at it is its annoying to have an account show up on the screen that you want specifically for machine purposes or to restrict the user. Or to hide the Admin user if it is in an enterprise network.

I'm assuming your 'attack' requires admin privileges, to create the account? I dont think that can be considered a vulnerability, it is almost doing exactly as expected.
> We want to be able to continue to invest back into our community, and that’s why we’re also exploring what data monetization looks like in the future. LLMs are trained off Stack Overflow data, which our massive community has contributed to for nearly 15 years. We should be compensated for that data so we can continue to invest back in our community.

How exactly are you planning on investing that back into the community? It sounds like it just wants to be YOU who captures the value of 15 years of community investment. It's fine, SO is a business, and people agreed to the TOS, but this is laughably blatant bs.
Exactly this, or something very close to this already happened in history. There was a time it was legal for pedestrians to just walk on the road. Now it is illegal and nobody blames "killer bolt" or it's operator if this person is hurt. Society adapted around technology, not the other way around.

The other example is of course railroads and trains. People literally made laws and diminish freedoms of people to allow giant polluting noisy hazardous carriages do their thing and punish anyone who impeded them harshly.

No reason to think it can't happen third time. We just adapt roads, laws and customs to tell people e.g. "if a purple vehicle on purple road kills you, it is 100% your fault because this law says so". And other nations will have to accept it too because nobody wants to be outcompeted.
All human are XBers as well.
That’s tremendously optimistic. What’s really happening is that people are being pulled into fantasy worlds that align with their preexisting beliefs and prejudices.

This, not helmets, is actual “virtual reality” and it’s quite dystopian.

In the US we are almost to the point where liberals and conservatives cannot even have a discussion because they have no shared context. They inhabit parallel universes with entirely different “facts,” many of which are either bullshit or cherry picked without context to support a narrative. At the center of each mob is a loose knit group of special interests and amoral online propagandists. It feels like the beginning of something incredibly dark. I can’t see it getting better since the incentives point the other way, including large monetary incentives and winning elections.

Some people are turning it off but I fear they are very much in the minority.
Look, someone asked the same question 12 years ago, just install jQuery and copy-paste the answer, ok?
Nothing here directly addresses the issue of users migrating away from the flow of `Google search -> SO` to `ChatGPT/Phind`.

Maybe SO should just acquihire Phind. Use Phind as the gatekeep to filter out questions with well established answers before another doe-eyed user make the fatal mistake of asking a non well-formed question before they are excoriated by the poweruser #44956.

> I suspect I may have ADHD or some kind of dopamine addiction but I'm not sure. I do well in school even by studying at the last minute, and I attend a rather challenging school. In my free time though, I end up doing very little or nothing, not knowing where my time went.

It's fascinating to me how many people think having ADHD means you can't be a top performer at a top school. Getting things done at the last minute all the time because of procrastination is a trap people who do not know how to manage their ADHD fall into. I can't say for sure if you have it or not, but your school performance is not a good metric to discount the possibility.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

The financial benefits someone could get from stolen notoriety is enough evidence that this is a scam.
I do appreciate him setting an unreasonable goal and failing halfway there while the rest of the world seems content with stagnating.

This is underrated. I write this a someone who is half appalled and half amazed by Musk. How much that Tesla has already achieved in their self-driving efforts is incredible. Leave aside Musk's vision, it also means they must have an absolutely stellar engineering team working on this problem. Creating and maintaining this team is a huge feat by itself.
Tamping is also of critical importance when tracks are first laid; they’re quite uneven at first (visibly wonky) and the tamper evens out the ballast to achieve the extremely smooth geometry required.
It is used for individual binaries. The Linux kernel is arm, but the binaries running on it can be x86 running on Rosetta. This works particularly well with containers, which come with their own libc.

Still waiting on the HSR to come out to my rural property which is a 1.5 hour drive from the nearest city. And then when I get their for that city to be full of metro, trams, and light rail (it's not).
I work with a large monolith, and we have been trying to decouple some of out core features for the past couple of years.
The one lesson I learnt is that you have to start by making sure new features are not built on your legacy app.
Feature flags is also a must.
There's an existential threat, but I it's more than just GenAI. SO is such an easy target for many reasons: Creation of an extremely hostile culture to users (how do you change it now?) Old information that's no longer relevant yet "close culture" prevents anyone from posting "duplicate" questions even when they're needed. A reputation among the newer generation that SO is "read only". High schoolers learning to program would never dare to ask a question there. As a business, SO has no value.
Because it's a patent application, not a user guide.
Android was already going to happen if the iPhone never came out; that said, Apple's influence over the direction of the devices probably killed Flash on the web in general, and made it both easy, cheap, and a viable business strategy to develop mobile apps… but Google may have done the same on both anyway and for similar reasons.

That they killed off Blackberry and Windows Phone is impressive from a business standpoint, but which fruit the phones have as a logo probably didn't change the world all that much.
That's due to the small viewing window, controller, and physics of GTA. In proper simulators with steering wheels and big screens they do fine.
The various cults make it look easy.
We all want to feel like we're in control of our own lives but none of us ever are. The trade off is when you focus on one thing inevitably other things will suffer as people can't do two things at once. Best bet is to realize there are lots of tasks that need done (and no you can't plan a perfect calendar to do it all) and all you can do is find a system that takes all the incoming tasks that need to be done, prioritize them, set a due date and forget about them and only do the things that are required of you that day. I found Todoist years ago and have found great levels of success using it. Good luck!

> The start of this decline has coincided with a shift from the physical to the virtual.

There is certainly a wistfulness I have for when Silicon Valley made things rather than assembled software stacks. For me it was when Fry's Electronics (open until midnight?) sold wire-wrap boards, junk food and porn magazines, not flat-screen plasma TVs and massage chairs. It was Weird Stuff Warehouse, Disk Drive Depot, the Computer Literacy Bookstore, (Halted/Haltek) HSC Electronics and the weekend surplus crawl that would turn up hardware prototypes, power supplies, vintage numerical LED displays....

I suppose ultimately it was a combination of the weight of the internet that settled into the valley and the off-shore commoditization of hardware that caused the gradual shift to where the valley is now.
There is no gun to anyone’s head—in particular, tobacco use is neither illegal nor considered immoral, but people don’t smoke anyway. I know it shocks Americans to learn that people can exercise self control and refrain from vices.
Sure, or you know... Rather than ranting on twitter, one could look up "Large Language Model" (LLM), "Deep Learning", "Machine Learning" as well as "Artificial Intelligence" on Wikipedia, and realize that historically the following has been the norm in terminology for decades:

Artificial Intelligence > Machine Learning > Deep Learning > LLMs

I.e. LLMs are indeed a subset of what is classically considered Artificial Intelligence.
Just as well as route planning in Google Maps or getting beat by a non-machine-learning chess algorithm.

EDIT: Regarding "for decades" doesn't apply to LLMs, of course :-) and barely to deep learning. But for the time they've been around, this inequality holds
Well for starters programmers are not engineers, calling them that is just putting lipstick on a pig, a feel-good title like "chief corporate luminosity enhancer" instead "window cleaner", calling chiropractors "doctors", putting police-like uniforms on mall shop security guards, etc. Pathetic and lame but the term has stuck.

When it comes to math, it's actually used by two distinct categories: real engineers and mathematicians. There's also physicists but they share the same trait with engineers: math is a tool and not a purpose. A mathematician will become very anal when you skip some tiny detail in a demonstration, like go from Taylor series expansion to Ito lemma by approximating dt^2 =~ 0 (I had this happen to me). An engineer (that is, me ;) couldn't give a funk since Ito lemma is a well known and already proven fact and they only use the quick derivation from Taylor expansion as a way to mentally remember the former when they need it for some actual, real-life use case.
Almost everything always has much more thought given to it than it might first appear. Civil engineering is quite a fascinating subject, not least because how old it is, by far one of the earliest branches of engineering.
"drainage" as in primarly preventing fouling of ties, not as in "preventing water buildup behind a trackbed". I would call that obvious, but maybe i have too diverse interests as to nit know this...

When you see something like “New York Time Magazine” there’s a good chance what you’re reading is not actually a reputable NYT article.

This is the first time I have seen such an accusation on HN about the quality of NYTM vs NYT. To me, NYTM is just longer form -- a bit more story telling.

This is brilliant, and I'm going to implement the CommonPaper contracts for Cloud Service Agreement, DPA, and SLA.

I think an Acceptable Content Policy/Fair Use policy and a Privacy Policy are what's missing if I was going to replace all of our self-serve agreements with your Toolkit.

Also, your "governing law/courts/jurisdiction/" sections (in the step-by-step forms) only target the U.S. ; I don't think there's a solid reason to restrict the choice of country.

For instance IMHO if I'm incorporating in Singapore, and I'm choosing to adopt the Common Paper agreement, customizing the Cover page to my country is my problem but I shouldn't be prevented from doing so.

I also see that you'd only gotten 1 comment on your earlier "Show HN", and now 165+ on your "Launch HN" post, so congrats!

I wish you great success with this business. I think the value you provide is awesome.
> I too believe we're 5 years away before quitting the Internet will be fashionable as not having a TV was in the 90s

Can you elaborate?

My memory of the 90s was my mother saying that TV was considered so important that not having one was the official reason for her friends being denied the opportunity to adopt until they got one.

Internet today is like that except quite a more than adoption depends on it.
Even if ChatGPT had mentioned that it’s dangerous as an answer to your question, ChatGPT at the same time still might have suggested doing the submerging in an answer for a different prompt.

The issue is that GPT doesn’t have a consistent model of the world and of its knowledge. That would arguably be a prerequisite before even trying to adjust or correct that model.
There are a few companies around the world working on that sort of solution to the public transit problem (called autonomous Personal Rapid Transit), and one or two systems similar to what you’re describing that have been built. Open road autonomy has to deal with all sorts of unexpected situations, still has to contend with traffic (until all cars are communicating with all other cars… very very far in the future), and still quite unprofitable for the driverless robotaxi use case.
PRT - and what it sounds like you’re suggesting - get around these types of problems: By operating in dedicated (fenced off) lanes, the perception and planning problems become trivial (especially if you put sensors on the roadway). With one company building and operating the system, coordination between vehicles becomes possible (with no pedestrians and stations off of the mainline, this means little traffic and still high throughput). Small, lightweight vehicles with reduced sensing/compute requirements are cheaper and require less road space (meaning cheaper infrastructure too)

The main downsides I can think of being it would requiring walking to your final destination from the bus stop/station (but for public transit prices instead of Uber prices I’m sure that’d be an appealing option to many), and requires new (or at least dedicated) infrastructure which is a harder sell to companies and cities.
I owned an ipaq hx4700 in 2004, two years before the first iPhone came out. Take a look, that device was actually better than early iPhones. The screen was better, the specs were better. It even supported 3rd-party apps (and there were many), while early iPhones did not have app store at all.

Apple is very good at marketing, but they did not invent the concept of PDA (that's how these devices were called back then) with the iPhone - they just came up with a yet another PDA which was decent, and were very good at marketing.
Meta Quest 3 Launches Later This Year
It seems the part that is missing in the 1984 novel and Truman Show kind of films: you can build an entire reality and you know that but it is impossible to differentiate from the real thing. The two are simultaneous. It is more schizophrenic that dictatorial.
The answers from SO users on that last thread show how much they lack self-awareness. Nowadays the only way I end up on SO is through a google link, I 100% consider it a read-only site.
Thank you for your support, if you have any questions, please give me feedback.
To clarify, there are two stages. The video included in the comment is just a proof of concept that MacOS will hide the account beginning with a period. In that demo, I was admin. In the demo to Apple, I demonstrated creating a new admin account that was hidden while I did not have admin access, but did have physical access to the device.
I would guess node.js apps can load a ton of code so the startup can be important too.
This is from The Telegraph so you’ll find many truthful things that are twisted or presented in a way to push their narrative.

I think in the US anyway that this thinking is reinforced by the medical profession. When assessing a student for ADHD they will contact teachers, ask for a report. Teachers say "A's all round" and Dr says "no ADHD here, move along".
This smells more like a result of staff reductions than anything else.
There are two decisions when driving: go ahead around an obstacle or stop. Even as a human I do not need super high resolution to identify the objects asround, as long as I can identify if is in my path or not.

While our eyes can do that pretty reliable, we are organics and get tired - how many hours one can drive until this becomes almost imposible? I had a situation where I would hallucinate and and start believing something is in the street do I did a full stop - nothing happened, but was quite intense. Imagine the other way around - not stopping and hitting something.

A normal radar + some low level ASIC programming would do that without geting tired. My Audi from 2014 is quite good at that and I actually rely on this feature all the time.
When I procrastinate, I tend to engage in activities that provide quick dopamine hits but require little sustained focus, like browsing the internet, responding to messages, scrolling social networks, or getting pulled into unrelated side projects. But those times when I do what I really want to do, I feel really good.
This is such a terrific write-up. It's always felt like the ML space takes years of study to get a foothold. But this is a clear path to learning critical first principles. Thanks for writing this!
The key is to ensure your x86 code is run with Rosetta instead of being emulated (with qemu for instance). By upgrading to Ventura and using the latest Docker Desktop which allows Rosetta translation, I was able to run x86 containers 6 times faster than before. Last time I checked, Multipass had no options for Rosetta translation yet (it's planned though).

Keep in mind Rosetta has a few limitations like it can't translate AVX instructions.

>Unsurprisingly of course while it said this is not a proven treatment, it did not have the reasoning skills to suggest that, hey that might be dangerous and is an unsafe thing to do, etc.

TBF I wonder how many people on the street would also include that warning.

Ask the questions that ChatGPT gets to any random person on the street, disallow them to say "I don't know", and force them to come up with an answer and you'd likely get more bullshit than ChatGPT since that person simply has a lot less knowledge in their head.

A recurring weakness of LLM criticisms are unwarranted expectations and comparisons to normal, functioning adults and even professionals. We don't really have a good rubric for "thing that has a lot of shallow knowledge and text-based skills" because that's basically useless in society, although getting to that point was a scientific achievement.

None of this makes it a good product though.
What I hate is that this entire line of reasoning has led to the utter nerfing and hamstringing of a lot of LLMs. Have we as humans regressed so much that we can’t expect and teach people basal reasoning and personal responsibility?

Like, if a navigational system says ‘turn left here’ and there is a ravine on your left, is your death really the responsibility of the company that created the navigational system?

I don't think anybody serious in the machine learning community has any delusion as to when a model says "A" with "99% confidence", that actually truly means that the model is fundamentally outputting "A" correctly 99% of the time.

Robustness and interpretation of machine- & deep learning models is a quite active field of research.

I don't know if I'm asking for too much, but maybe it's a question of educating people on these tools? I mean, even though most people aren't electricians, nor probably have a good intuition about how electricity works, we wouldn't touch a live wire
> Creation of an extremely hostile culture to users (how do you change it now?)

By changing the community guidelines to prohibit such behavior, and then aggressively banning users who engage in it.

Of all the problems Stack Overflow faces, this one would be the easiest to solve, but the people who run the site have made it abundantly clear long ago that they just don't give a fuck.
Right which is also why all the guardrails are just bandaids and easy to work around.

Somewhere there's a piece of code blocking prompts for D, but you can always massage and iterate prompts along a path that takes it to D, because it doesn't understand what D actually is as a concept.
The real killer feature in Monero is privacy by obfuscating transactions. Using an exchange wallet tied to your government identity for private transactions defeats the purpose because a bad actor could access the exchange database, like with a traditional bank account.

Send money from the exchange to a local anonymous wallet (like the official one [0]), and then use that wallet for private stuff.

Those who win get to write history and SV winning the mindset means that all the other places in the US that were equally as relevant are airbrushed from history. Boston 128 corridor was just as important and innovative as SV in the 80s and early 90s. Also the companies they mention are always names that survived but there are so many better examples of companies that lead and defined the industries, such as Commodore.
