Many comments miss the mark as they fail to make the crucial distinction between ChatGPT and GPT-4. GPT-4 is the underlying model one can indeed have direct access to on a pay-per-request pricing scheme. ChatGPT is an application built on top of GPT-4 which manages how the 'context' of your interaction is passed in on a per-request basis. I don't doubt the spokesperson for a minute: from my own experience, the underlying GPT-4 models have not changed and I sincerely believe that OpenAI will be careful on this front, given that they are aiming to build a once-in-a-generation company that provides a stable platform for other firms to build products on top of.

The ChatGPT application, on the other hand, and how it manages context etc has certainly changed in the intervening time. That is completely expected as even and perhaps especially OpenAI is figuring out how to build applications on top of LLMs, which means balancing how one can get the best quality results out of the model while making ChatGPT in particular a profitable business.

Stratechery has analyzed this problem for OpenAI in the most detail I've seen. I imagine the company is in something of a bind figuring out how to invest between the APIs themselves and ChatGPT. On the one hand, the latter is incredibly successful as a consumer app with a lead it will be difficult for rivals to catchup with and it is likely plugins will provide a good revenue basis. On the other hand, there is certainly a greater business opportunity in being the foundation for an entire generation of AI products and taking BPs off of revenues -- if and only if GPT4 indeed has a significant moat over the opensource alternatives. For the moment, it would seem they will have to hedge both bets as we see how the consumer space and the competition between models heats-up.

I agree very much that the new laws are awful.

I'm just arguing against the people who are basically saying that protest is a) supposed to be disruptive and b) should not be prosecuted when it is.

The worrying part of the new legislation in places like the UK is how it is being used to target people who are not shutting down critical infrastructure, who are not causing property damage etc etc.
I feel like it used to be (I'm thinking 1990s or so) the norm that basically everyone reclined starting from the first in-flight announcement, except for mealtimes. Come to think of it, didn't those announcements from the pilot often specifically invite passengers to recline?

I am curious why, and when exactly, sentiments around this apparently changed so much. Was it tighter row pitches that prompted the shift? Widespread ownership and use of laptops?
> However, the issue is that you're probably overpaying for the car

On the contrary. People have options for cars. You don't have to buy a specific brand or a specific model. If every car's price is listed publicly, then consumers can easily shop around for the best price, and it would be difficult for a dealer to get away with overcharging everyone with a publicly listed price. People just won't buy from a dealer with inflated prices.

When there's price negotiation, dealers mostly win at that game, because they usually have far more information than the consumer.
You should listen to the interview:

https://www.themeateater.com/listen/meateater/ep-342-getting...

around 1:10:00 the hunters talk about how they found this place.

I think you don't appreciate the hunter demographic and how much people will travel to enjoy the hobby. They're often not local, but frequently build relationships with the locals and landowners like you describe, and go back to the same places year after year.
I remain hopeful...

The actual statement is "The API does not just change without us telling you. The models are static there." But that isn't ChatGPT.

Here's how I feel ChatGPT answers my coding questions now:

Me: Write a Python script to sum two numbers.

ChatGPT: Python is a programming language that was invented in 1991 and can be used to solve a variety of programs. Here is an example of how to sum two numbers:

def sum(a, b):

# note: the actual code has been left out as it depends on the actual specifications of how you want to add\*

Note that this code is merely an example and writing a Python script to sum two numbers is a complex problem that requires careful attention to whether the numbers you are trying to sum can be summed. Also, as my knowledge has a cutoff date of 2021, there may be other ways to perform this summation. Please check with the documentation or ask someone who knows how to code.

* note: ChatGPT has actually done this to me
I’m 6’7”. It makes a difference. On most flights I don’t worry about it because I arrange to be in a position where I have more room or can fold my legs under the seat (people sometimes get upset when my feet reach all the way to the kick bar under their seat for some reason), but if I’m stuck in regular economy in a middle seat, I could be inconvenienced or even injured by someone reclining roughly.

This is the fault of the airline for making such a crappy design. Or in other words, don’t hate the player.. hate the game
Not really no, those countries generally ration with very long wait times instead of by price. (Not defending the US system, which is 100% captured by special interest sleazebags, and in need of total regulatory overhaul. But there is no magic bullet to fix all problems here)
Maybe this is a case of not noticing something until you know about it, but I swear I've never heard of the danger of laptop screens being crushed by a reclining airplane seat, then it almost happened to me last week for the first time, and now I see three top comments in this thread with the same concern.
> A unique identifier is hardly “government information”.

An identifier is issued by the government for legally-specified government uses is government information.

Other identifiers may or may not be, but other identifiers aren’t the issue here.

Overgeneralizing the issue in dispute to obscure relevant context is not productive.
As the article points out, having a choice, and not being pressured by society into having kids one doesn't want, certainly is a good thing. On the other hand, as the article notes:

> [...] cannot afford to have more children, or because of other policy failures, such as housing shortages [...]

the financial aspect is a huge blocker for those who want to have children. We live in a world where the majority of young people can't afford to live in a city center without 2+ roommates, let alone afford a lifestyle where they have any amount of disposable income, of which a lot is needed to have children.

This policy and societal failure of squeezing every bit of wealth out of the new generation and not giving them anything will eventually drain cities of young people and those cities will be left behind as times change with the newer generations. The cities will miss out on culture, societal change, modernity, eventually of sheer people. See San Francisco, New York, Seoul, etc. It doesn't seem like countries are treating this as the problem it is and I fear for the future of all these currently-popular cities.

Overpopulation is the real inconvenient truth that no one wants to address.
After subscribing to absolutely everything and wondering where your paycheck is going every pay period, you sort of learn to just stop subscribing to anything at all. It's not cheap, you just learn the hard way you'll just make your paycheck evaporate otherwise.
Scary part is population collapse is a slow moving train wreck that is hard to avoid. The population projection for decades from now are set in stone. Yet we are powerless to anything about it.
This is the angle here. Don't stop the AI bandwagon!

My 2017 Pacifica (built in 2016) has lane keeping on by default without cruise control. I'm pretty happy with its light touch, so I wouldn't expect it to really move me out of the de facto lane into the lane it senses, but it could try. I'll manually turn it off for snowy roads, but otherwise let it do it's job of supervising in case the human screws up. Otoh, other vehicles may have a stronger correction, or my least favorite where they just beep a lot.
For me, tab groups are nothing like bookmarks. Tab groups are a way of managing already open tabs in related group; showing and hiding groups as you need them. I use a similar tool in Firefox and I always have tabs related to about 4-5 projects open at once. I use the tab group tool to switch between the tabs by project so I only need to deal with 10-15 tabs at once.

These are tabs that I don’t want to close as they have context and sometimes ongoing edits. It’s a bit like having multiple windows each with tabs but this keeps it together in one window and makes it easier to manager.

Without this, I would be facing 50-75 tabs and trying to figure out which ones were related to the project I needed to work on at the current time.
Vega: A Promising Vision for a Fast, User-Friendly, and Secure OS
Why is there such a movement for making maps with R? The python ecosystem has more and better packages for making maps already. Notwithstanding that there are indeed some nice results, this new R toolchain movement towards maps feels like a waste of open source energy to me.
I’m ashamed to say I misread the title for a second..

I don't think you are clear on the definition of statistically.

Citing things with >90% probability does not, actually, prove your weak point that "all statistical probabilities are individual certainties".
Then why can it be reclined at all?
Are you sure? I ran it by the moderation endpoint and both the partial output "It was the best of times," and the full thing give me e-06 or lower. This also doesn't give you any notification like other filters do.

I always forget how to see this stuff on the network tab of devtools since it's websocket obfuscated or such (befitting openai), but i have the feeling they're just killing the process directly on their end

Yeah I get they're probably American but in their first experience they basically put down the US and in the same sentence imply other countries know better than us unmindful Americans, while also commenting in another post that the same Asian countries they praised have no concept of mindfulness when it comes to lines and that Americans do, and that they just go and yell in the Asian folks' faces if they dare cut in front of them in line.

Just seems like a weirdly hypocritical thing and also that they might be jumping on the "US is uncultured" bandwagon that you see on Reddit and other social media these days
Exactly. One billion people is far more sustainable than 10.

I'm sure the American allergy to welfare/social safety has something to do with it.
Your last sentence is an interesting idea. But the "case or controversy" requirement for justiciability in federal court, which represents a limit on the power of the federal judiciary, comes from Article 3 Section 2 of the Constitution. It is a hard limit beyond which even Congress cannot grant additional power. Congress can limit the power of the judiciary to hear cases more narrowly than the Constitution does, e.g. the diversity / federal question requirements for federal jurisdiction, which are Congressional limits on the power of the federal courts.

Your plan could potentially be accomplished by amending the Constitution but I do not think Congress could pass such a law.
Airplanes fit a more people into the same space than they used to.
This is only if you want strings to be sequences of bytes. If you want strings to be sequences of code points, it is more sensible to define string length as the length of the sequence. I prefer the latter (for coded text) because it is closer to the meaning of the string. Sequence of code points is always sequence of code points, but a sequence of bytes may not correctly encode a sequence of code points, and bytes in encoding are not in one-to-one correspondence with code points in string. So I see no reason to care about individual bytes per se in the string's code.
> Am I a pest for leaving the Mormon Church

No but there does seem to be a strong correlation between people who were raised in strict religious households and a strong predilection towards sex. I kind of already assumed that you were ex-religious before you said so.

You are free to believe and do whatever you like, but don't presume that everyone else is a prude because they don't look at sex the way you do. Or that your perspective should be the norm. People overwhelmingly choose and hope for monogomy despite society largely accepting casual sexual encounters as "normal". There's no telling the extent of the damage that has done to people's ability to pair bond successfully and develop interpersonal relationships.
Only safe way is to have angled towards you enough at all times to get pushed down, but not caught, if they lean back.
I'll just throw out that until relatively recently, a lot of airplanes still had ashtrays. Antiquated seat design doesn't imply a set of rules. "If I'm not supposed to smoke, then why's there an ashtray?"

Seat design has been largely static while people have gotten bigger, seats have gotten closer, and laptops have become a thing. On cheap European flights, they mostly have removed the buttons. I personally only ever use the button if nobody's behind me.
It sounds like you may have not read — or overlooked — this point in the article:

> "The airlines are intentionally selling that space to the person in front of you and to you, so it's just incredibly disingenuous of the airline," he said. "I understand why they like leaning. It's more of an airline issue because they're cramming seats so close together and pitting passengers against each other.”

The button’s there so that passengers buying the ticket feel like they have additional room. And while that’s somewhat true, that passenger is taking space away from the passenger behind.

So there is this shared space, and passengers are left to fend for themselves to determine who has rights to it.
Yeah, it's probably another soft layoff with VIP employees getting exemptions to having to come in.

Speeding up IPv4 connections via IPv6 infrastructure
Reading this thread, I can't help but wonder if some folks are confusing phantom braking on radar-adaptive cruise (a really widespread issue and common trait of radar based cruise) with AEB (Automatic Emergency Braking) activation. In my experience the former is common and can feel scary at highway speed, but this is not the same thing as AEB, which is a separate system. My ford for example has AEB and no cruise control at all, and has never once misfired.
Maybe I'd feel differently if I were a frequent flyer (though I kind of doubt it because I used to be a 5-days-a-week train rider) but I feel like trying to use your laptop on a flight is for the birds anyway before this comes into play. It's just so awkward and the minute someone wants to get up it's a pain. I'd rather content myself with something I can hold in my hands or the in-flight films.
>Then why is the button there?

The article answers that question.
The airlines sold the space twice and shifted the problem to the passengers to fight over it.

The button gives the illusion of comfort, but without mentioning that this comfort comes at the expense of others.
The American allergy to welfare and social safety has caused _global_ fertility to collapse?
I'm still rocking my Series 0 Milanese (but on a Series 5 watch), and I feel really lucky to only have lost a few arm hairs to the loop after your comment, haha. I wonder if they've changed something about their design or manufacturing over the years? It'd be interesting to get to see what this band looks like with each new generation to compare.
I suspect you wouldn't think that if you look into how the adaptive immune system works:

A process called V(D)J recombination shuffles and rearranges the genes responsible for encoding the antigen receptors on T cells and B cells. The cells are then tested for compatibility against your own tissue and cells that match your own tissue are deactivated. So new immune cells are essentially created by fuzz testing.

Once deployed, immune cells that find lots of matches clone themselves amplifying their immune effect.

So an autoimmune problem can be as simple as a newly minted immune cell escaping the compatibility testing or just being slightly reactive enough to your own tissue to cause problems while still inactive enough to pass the test.

With that in mind its surprising to me that autoimmune disorders aren't a lot more common!
Given how much evidence-free stuff is being used in medicine, it's not having been pushed anywhere close to hard enough (and the parachute example is just silly)
I agree, a more accurate version would be whatever the closest thing to unlimited healthcare would be, while still being able to operate the rest of society.
All these abominations are because of non strict typing

String = List ( Char )

Chars don’t have a length, like a number doesn’t have a length - unless you talk about number of bits. If you are working with strings stick with strings. The string of a single character should be “1”. Just enforce proper typing. Anything else is not consistent.
An economic system that depends on an ever-growing population is by definition not a sustainable economic system. Wether shortages happen this century or N centuries from now, at some point, like any population, a cap will be reached

If this is dire to the economy, we are better off thinking at once about changing the economic system, not the fertility rate.
I don't think Amazon offers what Azure does (yet) in terms of HPC or multi-GPU capacity. The blog post doesn't say how long the agreement is for, but the relationship probably makes sense at the moment.

All the cloud providers are building out this type of capacity right now. It's already having a big impact in terms of quarterly spend, which we just saw in the NVDA Q1 results. AWS, Azure, and GCP for sure, but also smaller players like Dell and HPE and even NVidia themselves are trying to get into this market. (Disclaimer: I work at one of these places but don't feel like saying which). I suspect the GPU constraints won't be around too long, at which point we'll find out if OpenAI made a contractual mistake.
Man there's a lot of nuance here. Fertility as you are thinking of it is also greatly reduced, but confusingly "fertility rate" and "birth rate" are highly correlated measures which basically measure the thing the article is actually talking about. So, kinda, but not really?
I'd be very surprised if it was really "reasoning" that. It sounds like a simple reinforcement learning failure to me. It will gladly "learn" bad behaviors that the reward function accidentally encourages (e.g. giving a reward based on distance to a target will result in an agent circling the target forever instead of going to it faster, because it keeps getting told that's doing very good at the task).

I'm familiar with NYC and North to South Carolina traffic. The only time I have had issues outside of the city was on a drive up to Montreal, where the lane assist misread the lane shift on potentially icy road. Wasn't happy about that one, but it was easy to overcome. I've never had an automatic braking incident outside of NYC that I can recall.
I can't imagine ever moving to San Francisco or NYC for even twice the pay to be honest. Having to endure the NYC subway for another miserable summer is a big fat no from me (especially with how bad they've gotten in recent years) and with congestion pricing in place, it's pretty much a dead issue. SF is completely insane with real estate prices, so that's a big fat no as well. San Jose sucks, so no.

Remote First and Remote Forward is the future. Occasional onsite FTW. Do work-resorts/retreats for a week a few times a year, you're good. Have the robots do the manual labor, and if they're still not good enough, well this is YCombinator's Hacker News after all, get to building and launch yesterday.
TL;DR: Years later the CIA sends AP an “exclusive” memo under FOIA saying Epstein definitely killed himself.
That's a fair contention: I've never personally driven a vehicle with such mechanism (perhaps owing to my economic inability to own such a device)

I appreciate your informed opinion!
It really depends on what type of plane and airline you are on, though.

NIMBYism, combination of bad monetary policy and a supply shock, and bad urban planning. Tokyo has cheaper homes and less traffic than cities with a fraction of the population in America.
