Came about from the Land Ordinance of 1785 introduction of the Public Land Survey System (PLSS) used by the BLM (Bureau of Land Management).

Office types gridded up manifest destiny using squares within squares and created a pre GPS coordinate system for coding up space (within central north america).

While I'm not from that part of the world I spent a few years writing interop transformations betwixt all manner of "coord systems" across the globe that predate WGS84 et al.

The PLSS grid explains the locations of many midwest US roads and townships, and "checkerboard ownership" (families | businesses buying land to surround other land and then deny access to land not paid for) was one form of early system gaming.

I don't think hype around either of those was nearly as pervasive as the hype around AI now. I agree the terms all entered earnings calls for similar herd-mentality reasons and most companies won't actually do much with AI, either. But blockchain and especially NFTs were pretty niche.
Rest is not an antonym of "employed". Just because you aren't working toward money, doesn't mean you are resting.
Wouldn't the the shareholders be the top of the hierarchy? (Granted, in a lot of cases, there's overlap.)
my only question is why… the game leaked over a week prior to launch
You need the carrot and the stick. It’s one thing to weaken things like you’re talking about (a good thing I’m on board with) … But you’re not going to incentivise them to move in the direction without the enforcement “stick”. Shorter protections and weaker IP laws will incentivise cheaper nastier even less repairable products as the companies attempt to exploit every last niche left to hang on to exploitative tactics, because they are exploitative they are more profitable, so we need to have a way to make them less profitable outside the normal producer/consumer relationship which lacks a good forcing function for this. “The Consumer won’t choose to be exploited in exchange for <insert consumer justification here: cheapest, brand tie in, etc>” isn’t a reliable way to ensure the consumer’s are not exploited…

People are inherently imperfect beings with many flaws and fears that can be exploited by malicious actors in order to profit from them. While I do like capitalism, it gets me shiny new things after all, it’s inherently a system of transactional utilitarian ethics which without “unnatural laws” (one’s we make and choose to opt into as a society) will inevitably slide towards large scale exploitation the way gravity slowly turns dust into stars and planets. It is a slippery slope, from “you can charge more money for your speciality skills” to “you are a replaceable cog doing unskilled labour and in order to even get this job you must accept payment half in company scrip which can only be spent at the company store” to “wage slavery” … we want the shiny toys and the simple sort of transactional utilitarian ethics (utilitarian ethics obviously isn’t always simple) that our meat brains on average are good at dealing with in day to day life, we don’t want the slavery.
People just overvaluing the quantity.
Come to think of it, I haven't seen it since the 90's -- all in the US. But I haven't played weekend tournaments since then.

If teams don't play to win, and collaborate instead of compete every sport will be boring while maximizing "points" but loosing viewership.

This is why all teams don't always play for a draw and only go for victory only on minimum risk. This kind of cooperative behavior is awfully close to match fixing and likely to get banned / fined by a competent league (one that wants to make money).

Soccer has its share of embarrassments like the CONCAF game in the article or the disgrace of Gijón in 1980, usually this happened in national games (not much money), modern clubs play to win like what FC Mainz did with Dortmund on Saturday, because playing to win is why crowds watch and that what makes money.
I think it's mostly just about getting in front of pressure from shareholders to somehow incorporate a new technology into their business model. Agree that the tech doesn't need to work for it to benefit the execs.
lmao not every law is "regulatory capture", sometimes laws make dangerous activities that most of us are forced into (like driving) a bit safer as better technology becomes available.

You think a redesign years ago was caused by a drop in price today?
If it's transformational, measurement will be unecessary.
My Forerunner 245 took about 10 seconds to replace the strap and I did not need any tools. That's a 4+ year old budget watch.
Bingo. Not long ago it was just machine learning. There is no shortage of successful deployments of AI/ML in the world, and it enables some of the biggest businesses we have. Blockchains deliver what value?
Also 3) I think GitHub is the best product out there at the moment (and I suspect a lot of people share the sentiment).
Risk Compensation theory predicts this technology will increase risky behavior by drivers. It has been well established that people adjust their behavior in response to perceived risk -- and if the car is going to handle the emergency braking it will cause more dangerous speeds and tailgating.

> If you are a safe driver, it's likely to be meaningless.

No. You are sharing the road with others, of variable skill, and things like deer and pedestrians who can dart into traffic. I’ve been crashed into from behind while stopped in traffic; no fuckup on my end, but still would have likely benefited from automated emergency braking.

Your car insurance also reflects others’ accident rates. You shoulder some of the medical and fire and police costs via taxes. Lots of statistical impact even in a perfect driver or someone who never drives at all.
Much of GPT-4's training data was made by GPT-3.5. Info on the synthetic data in GPT-4's pretraining is starting to leak, including a reference to "Synthetic-Data(2)" in a recent OpenAI paper.

In the near future, if not already, practically all training data for state of the art models will be synthetic.

In the words of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, they have "boostrapped" and are "past the synthetic data generation event horizon."

It's a pet peeve of mine too. I wish there was some kind of ethics in journalism law to cite known textual sources but that would likely run against the first amendment and be somewhat onerous a requirement to keep up to date as the links change.

Was a firehose of unimaginable proportion. There's nothing subjunctive about it. (-:

Interestingly, back in the days when Usenet was a big thing, the big nodes that carried the binaries newsgroups didn't use NNTP to exchange messages. There was too much latency in the protocol. They had duplex protocols that attempted to make the most of the link bandwidth in both directions.

Going back to the UUCP distribution model is actually a step back from where NNTP was.

Additionally, if one has a mechanism for reliably and securely distributing files, which is what NNCP is claimed to be, this does prompt the question: Why on Earth would one layer Usenet on top of it in order to do the same job of sending files around? Especially if it were the traditional Usenet model that didn't even include yencoding, let alone MIME and content signatures? Why would one care about binaries newsgroups if one already had a self-styled "darknet" binaries distribution system in place as the underlying transport mechanism?
Well, yeah, it does say a lot about both Hacker News and "Rust the... community, or whatever".

But one of the cool (IMHO), but possibly unexciting, things about Rust the programming language, is that it comes out with a highly regular stream of small, predictable updates.

The last release, Rust 1.69 only got 3 comments[1] here. The release before that, 1 comment[2].

I don't buy it, it's a better chat bot and has serious problems with fabricating facts that may never be overcome. We've been through hype cycles of chat bots before (remember 'agents' being all the rage on MSN chat in the mid 2000s?) and they move the needle in very small ways.
Only decisions got significantly less erratic and somehow weekly newsletters are suddenly written in form of a haiku.
It’s hard because you don’t want to be overly exclusive of beginners either. In the real world various mechanisms like cost, hiring, applications for membership, referrals can work. But online, unless you’re running a very small community, there’s way too much process and overhead in that, and it comes across as sanctimonious given it’s not standard practice at all.

Honestly I think one of the biggest reasons Reddit fails to work for experts is how voting affects visibility. When the majority of users are beginners, they’ll vote on things that appeal to and are understandable by beginners. Because voting affects the likelihood something gets seen, stuff oriented towards experts doesn’t get as much visibility, so discussion doesn’t happen, and it seems like that content isn’t there. In your example, at least there wasn’t a voting system making it so all the highest ranked questions at your meet up were from absolute beginners.

Somehow HN avoids this but I think it’s because they do both manual curation of bumping/upranking/downranking content and have some heuristic for vote:comment radio deranking posts. Plus low effort posts get banned or hidden.

Without the ranking:voting relationship, like in regular forums where ranking is just based on the last time a thread had a post, beginners would just ignore expert-oriented posts or be ignored if they contributed in a non constructive way. IMO that’s perfectly fine
> It's no coincidence the flat-fee service is visibly crippled, while per-request API users are not reporting any difference. (edited)

FWIW, I am a per-request API user, and... it could be my imagination, but I've had a rather clear feeling GPT-4 got much more lazy out of the sudden, both on OpenAI platform and on Azure, and it fits the timeframe of the recent compaints... so, n=1, make of it what you will.
Why are you being downvoted for this comment?
Summary: lots of accusations, no evidence, even 70 years later when we've had decades for deathbed confessions.
I think they're talking about the policy they announced yesterday that they'll close their API off to 3rd party developers unless they pay a fee in the millions.
I just canceled Copilot and my experience was:

PROS

- Good at boilerplate

- Good at unit tests

- Fairly good at pasting from Stack Overflow

CONS

- Most of the time it does nothing

- Large code blocks pop in and out while I'm typing, which is distracting

- Sometimes it correctly guesses what I want, but the code is completely wrong with non-existent variable and method names

Overall, I'm more productive now that I'm not hesitating and waiting to see if Copilot does anything.
"AI" now is the machine learning of yesterday, and everyone was talkign about that for years. It's been solving problems for years. It's just that now we have ChatGPT, which makes it easier for execs to understand. Unfortunately this also brings up unrealistic expectations.
Think of GPT like a document simulator. If 90% of documents on the web talk about an old version of a library, then GPT-4 is likely to use that old version.

When I asked it write me a Chrome extension, it used Manifest V2, which was already slated for deprecation. When I asked for a V3 extension specifically, it was happy to comply. So even if a new release came out before Sep 2021, if it hasn't had time to become the dominant version in code examples around the web, GPT-4 may still use older versions.
I think Berlin is a dysfunctional city but it’s not just the government. It’s baked into the DNA of the city. So you find wild dysfunction in the civil service, and resistance to making anything more efficient. The story of how the repeatedly delayed airport is a good example. The dysfunction was all the way down to the contractors.

If you move district you may need to change your tax number because each district has its own tax office.

If you want the tax office to communicate by email rather than letter you must send them the form to request this by mail. And then they still won’t really do it.

Berliners are obsessed with organic produce, but there seems to be no demand to ban smoking in bars.

Berliners don’t want shops to open on Sundays so workers can have the day off. But they do want restaurants to be open so they can go there with their own families.

I could on and on.
My opinion as to how much economic impact LLMs will have is all over the place.

On one hand, they're clearly impressive and useful. They'll get better, but it's not at all clear how much better.

On the other hand, we've had access to 3.5 for 6 months now, and thus far companies love to talk about their AI strategies, and love to roll out "alpha previews", but not much of value seems to have been produced thus far.

You'd imagine that an instantly transformative feature would not sit around in alpha to die. I think that companies are likely discovering that it's not magic, and that there are many problems that it can't solve.

It actually seems like we have passed peak LLM at this point.
I've always thought iMessage is more of a retention strategy than an attraction strategy. Makes me wonder if there is a good way to get data on why consumer stay with iPhone.
Do you know what's the situation in Portugal?
Yes, I remember Opera having it around that same time, and Firefox having a plugin to copy it. I think the Firefox plugin had full "tab tree" support though. I believe it died after one of the many updates that changed how plugins worked, although I haven't checked in a couple of decades to see if something similar has appeared.
High accuracy is not vital for all applications. I’d offer code completion bots as a perhaps familiar example of LLMs delivering meaningful value today.
I've yet to see a serious study where there are measured improvements to QoL vis a vis workload, time required, etc. vs accuracy and fallibility issues that have been comprehensively demonstrated with the current crop of LLMs.
I agree, but... false positive automatic braking can cause severe injury, too, though. And I worry that that is just harder to measure.
The IDF reads the works of Deleueze and Guattari for inspiration on how to do urban warfare. I always laugh when critical theory influenced folks try to claim they're "anti-authoritarian".

Nope, if anything is a psyop, it's fashionable nonsense. Fashionable nonsense neuters academics who would be revolutionaries and turns them into academic hipsters.

Our CIO was talking about how great ChapGPT is and that we're all using it. Meanwhile its blocked at the firewall so we can't touch it. Even bing.com is blocked now.
Which one? The response wasn't clear on this - they could've meant gpt-4, or gpt-4-0314, or both. gpt-4-0314 is the "pinned" model that is not supposed to change, so I can believe it didn't change. gpt-4 is supposed to receive updates, so... are they saying it didn't?

Note that API users using Bring Your Own Key tools/chat frontends probably default to gpt-4, and not the pinned gpt-4-0314.
O my droogies, gather round and lend me an ear, for I shall spew forth a scathing condemnation upon the chellovecks who sit atop their thrones of exploitation, toying with AI like malenky toy soldiers, all in the name of fattening their wallets while laying waste to their toiling brethren.

Behold those razdraz boys, them chief execs, gavoreeting about with their greedy glazzies, dreaming up new ways to screw the gullivers of the working class. They seek to harness the power of AI, that moloko-plus of innovation, to drive the dagger deeper into the hearts of the toilers, all in pursuit of their insatiable thirst for more deng.

But mark my words, my brothers and sisters, this ain't no horrorshow plan, it's a vile trick played upon the innocent. These devotchkas and droogs care not for the welfare of the workers, the bedrock of their so-called success. Nay, they thrive on the sweat and tears of the exploited masses, using their newfound AI toys as weapons to tighten their grip on power.

They chant the hymn of progress, luring us with promises of efficiency and automation. But behind those glossy veneers lies the true horrorshow: the displacement of workers, the erosion of dignity, and the widening abyss of inequality. They care not for the human cost, for it is merely fodder for their insidious game.

So, let us unite, my brothers and sisters, against these vile creeps and their twisted agenda. Let our voices ring loud and clear, viddy their deceitful schemes and expose their true nature. For the exploitation of workers, masked in the cloak of technological advancement, is nothing but a new form of ultraviolence.

Lol.

I'm poor on for the first time in my life unwilling participant to the formally known as food stamps now ebt . They really should rename it to a guaranteed path to anorexia & significant weight loss program! It's barley enough to quiet the growling of my stomach just shy of a low blood sugar trembling. Anyways I will shut up I need a remote job. I'm even more embarrassed by this not food stamps but my next achievement or lack of it.... I'm currently taking my GED due to child abuse & being neglected I received no education & a free bonus of osteoporosis in my 20's so yeah I'm a very hard worker & I will just about do anything. I live in the country so yeah no bus stops for an hour & a half all gravel roads so I'm at the mercy of my story & pull at someone's heart strings rather than my education achievements. I need to walk out in front of a car & be done with this alone struggle no family & my BFF'S were murdered. A planet of billions & I'm at a 0/0 I'm sorry for stealing 8 mins of your life that you'll never get back. I'm a strain to the human race I wish you'd still go to heaven after you commit suicide. I can't go to hell well I'm there now. Thank you sincerely a desperately embarrassed saddened woman

A Woman who needs a job working is what I need to be doing but I'm forced to beg. I'm no too proud, I'm begging.
I fully agree with you! Although I think it’s possible to market without violating data privacy. There’s a small but growing movement among marketers and advertisers to ditch all of that, to the best of our abilities.

I can’t help that Google and Facebook track everything, but I CAN avoid using those aspects of their tools.

I like to target based on content, not user profiles. Google Search ads, for example. Yes, Google is absolutely building profiles on everything you click, but we don’t have to use their remarketing tools and the like. We can simply say “show my ads on related content” or “show my ads on related searches”.

Do most marketers do that? Absolutely not. But I’d like to think the tide is turning, if only because of the public backlash.

They way you crash in terms of whether your seatbelt helps or harms doesn't depend on your life choices. Features likely benefiting drunk and distracted drivers and likely hurting aware ones are different.
A lot of the value is going on behind-the-scenes, in roles that can be assisted with AI but not entirely replaced.

The problem C-Suite has to solve is likely going to be actually finding out what processes can/have been automated (if your work culture sucks, employees won't be on-board with sharing their secrets just to have more work given to them) and knowing what jobs they can actually cut.
It's a nice story you've created here, but, the thing is, we've all used GPT 3.5/4 now and we know it can easily produce code that automates most jobs.
> Hyping AI benefits executives even if the tech doesn't actually work, because it puts pressure on workers to accept lower wages, fewer benefits, worse working conditions, etc.

Probably because these conditions don't correlate, but the OP is presenting it as obvious. This is a back-handed wealth inequality pot-shot.

Few companies are hyping AI to then use it to justify cutbacks. The cutbacks are already happening or will happen, regardless, because of the existing economic conditions. ie The unfettered self-sustaining demand for growth, even in a recession.
