Can you help me understand autogpt? Is it just a recursive gpt where an initial prompt is given and has the ability of the output to be used to pipe to other gpt prompts. Am I missing something?

I tried doing more complex tasks using GPT4 and was initially optimistic about plugins but they have all been very disappointing.

For instance, a dream for me would be something like: "Find some rental property opportunities within 1 hour commute to New York City, that have a high rent to sale price and low taxes"

Broken down into steps it would be:

1. Find towns within 50 miles or so from within Manhattan. Take the top 100 or so by population

2. Find commute times for each one leaving at 9am monday and coming back at 6pm. Narrow down the cities to 1 hours. Unfortunately I didn't see any map plugins but maybe something like wolfram alpha can suffice or just google commute time for each town

3. Use zillow to pull typical rents and sale prices for each town. build a simple model (maybe wolfram) to model the rent and apply them to homes for sale including taxes. calculate median expected rent / median sale price

4. Remove towns that you don't have enough data on (not enough rentals or homes for sale) and return the top towns with a few examples of how much you can get

If I were building something like autogpt, I would start with an example like this and use this almost like an integration test. Theoretically all the pieces are there, but it just falls apart very quickly. I've heard these models can't yet do "planning" and i'm not sure what that means technically but I think this kind of problem requires planning so it might be a model limitation
This is absolutely a false assertion. If your distro integrates flatpak then you will be prompted to update the runtimes. If you manually installed it then it’s on you to update things.

Now if the dev bundled deps then yes there is the possibility that they neglect to update those. But this situation is improving as runtimes add more popular deps, baseapps are also a new way to share bundles of deps which could reduce that burden. Repositories can also scan flatpak manifests and flag issues too.
Seems an excellent opportunity to cross post recent reporting of insurance companies reevaluating their partnership with GRAIL after more than 400 patients were incorrectly told they may have cancer. Significant benefits, but only with thoughtful implementation. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36176338
Let’s set aside the gang question for a bit and stick to homelessness. Homelessness isn’t the root cause of the crimes committed by homeless people. The “invisible homeless” who sleep on a buddy’s couch, sometimes even have jobs, and never smash car windows or anything like that are a silent majority of homeless people.

Instead, for the criminal minority of homeless people, the root cause of their homelessness isn’t a housing shortage or a lack of opportunity; it’s extreme untreated drug addiction or mental illness. This is also the root cause of their criminal behavior. If you try to give those people housing, they will just end up destroying it. These are not functional human beings acting rationally.

If you want to address the root cause here, you’re going to need to involuntarily commit these people to drug rehab or psychiatric treatment. Enforcement and addressing underlying causes go hand in hand here: if you arrest drug-addicted or mentally ill people for the crimes they commit, you already have them in state custody and you can just transfer them into involuntary commitment. We need to build and staff the facilities to do that, but that’s the solution.

Baseball? Cricket? Soccer? Basketball? Football? They are all full of numbers - ie the comment was supposed to imply math lessons.
In the normal case, Alice can write 'const const true = false' and Bob, on a second machine, can write 'const const true = 7', and there will not be an error. But if Alice writes 'const const const true = false', than Bob can't reassign or mutate 'true' without throwing an error. It's for truly global constants
Oh wow, this is awesome
The amount of hype around AutoGPT is probably good for other people building similar things though. It allows people to build without all the grifter attention that AutoGPT gets.
> More people with more money to spend means manufacturing volume goes up, so economies of scale go up, so the prices go down.

Back of the envelop, there are 260 million adults in the U.S., and 1600 GBP is $2000 a month for each of them. So, that's $6.2 trillion dollars a year that manufacturing efficiencies would have to make up for, in an economy with a GDP of about $23T. And that's assuming that mechanism would even solve the inflation problem, which is hurting my head to think about.

For the UK, it works out to about one trillion a year, off a GDP of three trillion, so an amount of money roughly a third of the entire economy would have to be made up for by ... companies getting better deals buying in bulk, and workers coming up with better processes than what they have now, and... uhh... other things of that nature? That sounds like wishful thinking to me.

I'm not against UBI, I just don't understand how this response actually addresses the most obvious problem with it. In fairness, I have not seen a better argument than the one you gave. Maybe there is another one.

This feature is not so bad:

> In case you really need to vary a variable, the when keyword lets you check a variable each time it mutates.

const var health = 10!
when (health = 0) {
print("You lose")!
}

If it can really be triggered when the variable changes to any value it makes it a truly reactive paradigm programming language. By the way, could that be hacked to implement loops?

const var i = 10
when (i >= 0) {
do_something()
i = i - 1
}

> There is the fact that the power of black people to respond and argue is severely constrained in Europe, even more with the rise of anti-immigrant right-wing parties. The key issue here is that the channels of expression are not free, are not open

Admittedly, I haven't lived in every European country, but I've lived in enough for an eyebrow to be raised nearly off my face at this. Even with what's happening in Italy right now, I couldn't say "the power of black people to respond and argue is severely constrained".
> When an European soccer fan shouts "monkey" to a dark skinned African or Latin American player of an adversary team there is a lot more than free speech at play

OP here, after I read the article, a better name for the article would be "How UN Projections are not worth the paper they are printed on" ;) but I had to honor HN guidelines.

On a serious note, given how many downstream analysis these numbers feed, should we not have more reliable forecasts or do we think this is the best we can do?
> One of the main options pointed at is low-power x86 boxes, which are better than Pis ever were.

In terms of what? Battery usage at idle? BOM to operationalize the design? Surely not.

> > It's almost as if most of the people whining are just upset there isn't a cheap device they can drop into a Kodi box without any effort.

> Okay. Yes? That's a valid usecase.

Funny enough, all throughout the pandemic the one thing that kept being made was Android streaming boxes. I'm pretty sure it's dead simple to wipe those and put Kodi on them. So it's not much of a valid use-case. (I'd instead expect most hobbyists who want Pis, to actually want them for running game-console emulators — specifically, emulators for consoles new enough that those weaker streaming boxes would struggle with them.)

When I lived in Chicago I had two trains inbound in the morning and two outbound in the evening. It sounds limiting but it was nice in that I could never be tempted to come in early or stay late. Last train home departed at I think 5:30 so I'd have to be walking out of the office by 5:15 at the latest.
Old man ranting into the abyss. Perhaps that worked in his day but in these days of bot farms, ai generated bullshit, deepfakes and state sponsored trolling it’s unworkable.

I've done all of those things and a host of other shitty jobs -note I called them shitty jobs because despite being back braking work they pay the least and the bosses expect the most -don't ever be caught not moving on a construction site (unless you're union). These are jobs for people who can't find anything else and need money, people are worked like rented mules and paid like share croppers. These are labor positions not skilled trades and are filled by the lowest rung on the financial ladder, usually immigrants and the poor. Stick to working in an office, you'll me much happier -how often do you hear a trades person say they hope their kid goes into the trades, they don't, they want their kids to go to college so they don't have to work in the trades.
As a junior dev I used folder pairs (to_process and processed) as a way to move messages between loosely coupled systems with file system watchers picking up new files in the to_process folder. Very light weight, got the job done, and was told it was in production for over a decade (even after better best practices came into use).

Making some money doesn't mean it was necessarily profitable enough to be worth flying. Typically you have a rate of return across the company that an investment needs to clear to be worthwhile. Especially when considering the aircraft almost certainly required specialized maintenance crews and parts, the bar was probably fairly high.

It's good to see the USG actually investing some money into what, on balance, is mainly defensive security.

Secrecy makes it hard to know what the ROI is from the massively larger investment in offensive security. However, seeing as how vulnerable much of our critical infrastructure is reported to be, the balance really needs to shift towards defense.
You are just highlighting the smallest position of the article. I imagine it is honest on the young adult's part, but not on the employers side. I think you are being disingenuous by ignoring the bigger issues in this article, removal of parental consent for under 16 and many illegal immigrant minors working these positions who are in more precarious positions to defend their rights. I would be surprised if these people are getting health insurance from their employer.

This is true, but as a lot of those apprenticeships happen in small companies (most large companies don't allow any apprentices below 18 for that reason) most of those protections are... tenous at best.
I’m sorry to hear that you felt offended by the cartoon shark in the article about programming. I understand that you may have different preferences and expectations for the content you consume. However, I hope you can also respect my creative choices and freedom of expression. I am not obligated to cater to your personal tastes or opinions, especially when I am providing my content to the world for free. I appreciate your feedback, but I also ask you to be more considerate and respectful of other readers who may enjoy my work. Thank you.

I would ask you to perform self-reflection to ascertain as to why the cartoon shark discomforts you. You may want to sit with that discomfort to understand why you feel that way so you can hopefully move past that and towards a more peaceful future.

There are a number of logical fallacies being presented in your assertions, however I don't feel like I need to spend the time to pick them apart.

"The solution is simple and always ignored, raise the wages and if you keep raising them people will flock to the job."

I generally agree, but it's not so simple to do. Perhaps the easiest thing to do is remove the minimum wage exemptions from things like servers and farm workers, not just for kids but for adults too. Not a lot of appetite to effectively raise food prices though.
It can be a real problem though in aggregate, and is an issue that pops up with aggressive screening.

Cancer treatment isn't exactly a walk in the park and brings its own health issues with it. Further, it can be hard to impossible to give an accurate answer to "am I going to die from this or with it?". So you find out you have cancer, and now you treat it. And if it was never going to be a big deal, you're likely worse off than if you had left it alone.

At the individual level what you say is true. But at population scale it is easy to make the case that early detection causes more harm than good.
Leaving aside the "furry == sexual" connotations:

Only if you make it. Relax. What someone is wearing or what innocent pictures they put alongside their presentation does not necessarily have to concern you at all. Just ignore it and focus on the actual subject matter.

> So from my point of view, the War on Drugs has failed and not because it didn't go far enough, but because its core conceit was flawed: laws are not effective deterrents. Conservatives really want to think they are, but they are not.

Laws can be effective deterrents, when they serve to reinforce social norms. Singapore, China, etc., execute drug dealers to reinforce the social norm that drug use and trafficking are so bad that they warrant the death penalty. That social norm, in turn, prevents drug use and drug dealing. A street dealer might not be worried about getting caught by the state (the law might not have a deterrent effect in that sense) but they do worry about becoming socially ostracized. When laws and social norms are combined like that, you can reduce drug use. https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/drug-use-.... In the U.S., people lose almost 7 healthy years of life on average to drug use. In my home country of Bangladesh (which executes drug dealers) it's under 0.8.

The problem with American conservatives is that they're compromised by libertarianism. They'll pass the law, but they won't fight for the culture. So you end up with a situation where there is a "drug war" on the books, but where the culture is glorifying drug use and drug dealing. In that situation, the law cannot work, because the social norm is not there. It's not enough to just execute drug dealers. You must become a culture that executes drug dealers.
I think the best arguments I heard about it was, unlike torrents, the availability is longer. Because the "nodes" store them generally for years at minimum UpTo even decades.Downloads are as fast as your broadband connection, just regular SSL communication, hence no VPN. Don't have to join private trackers, and prove you are worthy enough to be allowed to download.
I've just checked what Merriam-Webster says. It seems to accept both meanings but uses inanimate objects for the examples:

The search plugin is bad. I have done some exploratory work [1] on specializing search agents to understand the query and result syntax and use that to structure results but I started with an explicitly structured data source to prove the concept and then kinda wandered off.

It was my hypothesis that the variety of trash returned by things like serpapi need to be massaged into something consistent and potentially run through a result retrieval and fine tuning stage to be useful to a high level agent like autogpt, but didn't make it far enough to have anything working to show.

You work as an apprentice and part of a union -you are actually learning a trade. These are not union jobs so the wages are very low, you have no benefits (likely no health insurance or vacation) and they are strictly labor positions where it's cheaper to use a 15 year old than it is to rent a backhoe.
I'm currently writing a library that implements SimpleFIN. While the main website hasn't been updated in a while (even the demo endpoints are out of date, and I've written to the maintainer last month about it[1]), the demo endpoint described on the Simplefin Bridge the docs still works[2] so hopefully there's still movement.

That's all fine if you're powering the thing off mains power. A lot of Pi use-cases involve running them on batteries, e.g. any of the Pi-powered "retro handheld" devices.
DRM is also frustrating for textbooks. I’m fine buying books, I have a “trophy case” in my office of unopened books because I like holding onto physical copies and supporting the creation of books that I find valuable.

But I don’t want to lug around 40lbs of paper everywhere I go. So I get a DRMless pdf copy of the book too.

I’d get the OReily subscription in a heartbeat if I could read it on the device of my choosing. But I can’t so I don’t.

I want to download the ebook to the ereader of my choice (ReMarkable) where I have instant access to my entire library, the ability to markup the document without defacing it (notes are separate layers), and the ability to add blank pages for notes between the real pages (this will damage the binding of a real book).

Books are objectively inferior for studying unless you need to rapidly flip between pages. And I’m going to optimize for my own time and efficiency every time.
Since this is a thing with VC-lead platforms, how could this be done different, while 'almost' maximising revenue? Something that pays for cost + healthy extra margin.

What is a path for something like Reddit, supporting 3rd party apps, obviously showing ads in whatever feed gets served, but also being able change where and how ads are shown, or change monetisation strategy? I see a lot of handwavey and simplistic remarks, but how exactly, then?

Would a user subscription work? How much would you pay for an ad-free reddit per month? Probably can't be less than $20. Would it be viable? If not, how are these platforms ever going to exist?

Or is it never going to work and do we have to go back to crappy forums and discords and check 15 separate places? (RSS? never heard of her)

replace Reddit with whatever comes next that shows your favourite niche content you can't find elsewhere, all in one place.

IPFS is distributed but not anonymized, so you can send abuse requests to people's ISPs to take content down (like with torrents).
