Can you propose more tests of “understanding”? The more concrete the better. Or is more like “you know it when you see it”?

I tested GPT-4 with your example of sky color / human eyes. It performed quite well and seemed to have a pretty coherent grasp of the subject and related associations.

However, I could see how one might argue the reasoning is not that complex.

I strongly maintain that there is some form of reasoning going on here, for all meaningful definitions of the word. But it is a complex and tricky thing to analyze.

Lastly, your original comment veered dangerously close to claiming that models trained to predict text cannot — by definition! — ever acquire any form of reasoning or understanding of the world. This is a very strong claim that I don’t think can be substantiated, at least with the tools and knowledge we have today.

That's cool. One day my debit card refused to work. I walked out of the supermarket into the bank that literally shared the parking lot, they told me it had been possibly compromised so they killed it so I wouldn't lose any money. They then printed me a brand new debit card right then and there, and I walked back into the store and bought my stuff.

What I'm saying is that what you experienced is not a technology problem, and nothing about cryptocurrency inherently fixes that problem. I could absolutely create a cryptocurrency that puts you through mountains of bullshit and bureaucracy anytime you want to make an account or wallet.

Ask HN: Dev platform with relational DBs and unlimited projects?
Supabase looks awesome but the 2 free project limit is too limiting. I'm currently building some projects on Firebase to keep it free, but I'd love to move to something with a relational DB instead.

Maybe not unlimited projects, but definitely more than 2 :)
I assume 350 is simply considered more achievable. It's not easy to remove carbon from the atmosphere, especially when you consider that a lot of it was not even in the biosphere before we pulled it out of rocks.
Only if you believe that all users are equal, but just like free to play games that have whales Reddit has power users that create most of the content and are typically the mods that work for free. They are going to be the most impacted by the API cost changes, and if they leave Reddit will not work.
How is that a problem for the United States, for instance?

Do officeholders in the United States have any responsibility to people in foreign countries beyond that in ratified treaties?

Do we have any moral obligation to make restitution for our great-great-grandparents' crimes to the great-great-grandchildren of the victims? And what level of punishment is going too far?
We shouldn't be operating under the assumption that there will be.
> Because we rely on recursive function calls, it is possible that your parser may run out of space on the call stack for deeply nested expressions, like 1^1^1^1.... You could mitigate this by keeping track of the depth of the expression while parsing and throwing a custom “This expression is nested too deeply” error. Another strategy is to move the parsing stack into the heap, either by managing the parser state yourself or using something like trampolining.

>See reviewer presence so that you can see if someone is already reviewing and avoid unnecessary pings.

>Visibly values privacy and security above all else

These two things seem squarely at odds. Personally, I don't want my code review tool announcing to developers when I'm looking at their PR.

The fact that it's a Chrome extension would also be a big blocker for me. I run a dev team, and I wouldn't ask any of my teammates to install a browser extension to participate in code reviews, especially one that's only available for Chrome.

I care a lot about code reviews [0], but the features here don't really resonate with me.

- Blocking vs. non-blocking: This is useful, but the default should be that a comment is blocking. Otherwise, it makes the default that all the reviewer's notes are optional unless they go out of their way to mark them as important.

- Thread status history: I think the status history is much less important than the status right now. In other words, I'd like to know if a review is blocked on the author or reviewer. I'm not that interested in what the status was yesterday.

- Metrics: I worry that these focus on the wrong thing. I'm trying to maximize usefulness of my review rather than speedrun through them to improve my PR time.

One of the huge gaps in Github's tool is the ability to do multi-round reviews (e.g., "show me what's changed since my last round of notes"). You can kind of bend Github to show you the right diff, but then it can't show the comments in a sensible way. Two tools that solve this well are CodeApprove[1] and Reviewable[2].

How? Unless you get a breakthrough with fusion, I just don’t see us finding the energy to make carbon removal feasible.

> even more enjoyable FEDRAMP audits

ha, that's excellent. This is a really good point. We have already helped a lot of companies going through their SOC2 or ISO 27001, so that's an excellent suggestion. Not sure if companies would want to share their audits on video, though!

Maybe we should do more videos, too.
Technically there might be. There is plenty of brains around to explore all possibilities and there are far worse ways to waste talent. Just don't bet the planet on it, don't create a sense that a painless fix is just around the corner and then we can simply go on.
If they didn't want to support 3rd party apps, then that's a decision they are allowed to make. It sounds to me as if that's the decision they want to make but don't have the moral fortitude to make out right. Instead, they've tried to make the API unappealing for someone to want to use. In the end, it is the same result. So just because they are putting a very high price tag does not mean that's the actual cost/worth, but just a number they put out to scare people away.

As contractors, we have the same option to us by responding to a request with an outrageous fee that you think nobody will pay so you can avoid having to actually say no.
There was this ongoing war of attrition by Reddit admins on the_donald (and on a lot of other subs, including their big cash cow WallStreetBets)

The admins always had some new rules and some specific ways they had to be enforced, and were always happy to heap ever-increasing punishments on the subreddits capriciously

Oh, you can't say "Retard" any more, if we find any more examples of this prohibited hate speech your subreddit is going to be actioned against. Also we banned half of your most active moderators for wrongthink. We'll continue banning moderators and levying punishments until the situation is rectified.
Economic philosophy always ignores the real humans who will exist regardless what cherry picked economic markers indicate.

Reality will never care about any human philosophy. Humans will invest agency in interesting things regardless of some model in a vacuum anyone can conjure. Finance is has something very in common with religion; something humanity has zero obligation to perpetuate.

You have no idea what you’re talking about because we’ll just “fix” the philosophy to align with the reality. Trying to “fix people” to serve the philosophy is not happening.

This is likely an indication of their internal targets for ARPU over the next months as they start aggressively monetizing and push to IPO.

For reference, approximate global ARPU if converted to monthly for other social networks in 2022: Pinterest: ~$0.5, Snap: ~$1, Twitter: ~$1.6, FB: ~$3.3

This says the IPO roadshow will say Reddit has potential somewhere between Twitter and Facebook, which feels like the right sales pitch to me.
The 12 nm limit is hardly "along their coast". In most cases it's not even in sight of their coast. Nothing even remotely aggressive about it.

Warships are allowed to transit foreign national waters under the right of innocent passage. They don't conduct any military operations during those transits. So again, that is obviously not aggressive.

No, it was looked down upon because the pay to quality of life ratio was much better in white collar careers. It probably still is for the most part. Wake me up when the same people are deciding between becoming plumbers or electricians rather than lawyers or doctors or engineers.
You do realize that I'm responding to someone that made the assertion, also implied in the NYT article, that this "donation" was "done in a way that intentionally incurred a large tax bill." Right? What you're saying directly contradicts that, which was my point...

This was very obviously not done "for pure personal financial gain..." But should billionaires be able to donate billions, tax-free, to exert political influence, which, generally (though, with rare exceptions, like perhaps Chouinard), they will use to directly benefit themselves and their family? And, should they be able to do so in a way that maintains that political influence for their family for generations to come?

Maybe Chouinard and his family have good intentions, but, like the article said, "one doesn’t want a constructed tax system predicated upon everyone being like the Chouinards."

Except those regulators and those who interpret laws are essentially doing so at the public's behest, as they are elected officials, or at the very least, appointed by elected officials.

Those elected officials have 100 billion rea$on$ to not go after someone who insulted them. Zuck is bigger than all of those people combined. He's the powerful person, not some schmuck in congress who may or may not be in that same seat in a year or two. He could easily say "oh, you want to come after me because I talked back to you? OK, well, don't be surprised if your opponent in your reelection campaign just got a nice $100 million dollar boost" or "hey, yeah I said some mean things to you, but how about you come and work here at Meta once your term is over? I'll make it worth your while" and just like that all regulatory pressure is done away with.

In China, The Party can just say "we're bigger than you, so what we say goes", and that's it - no recourse, no independent watchdog, no independent judiciary, nothing. The Party owns your ass, and you'd best be thankful for that.

>Opportunity cost essentially means lost revenue. They (Reddit) aren't referring to server/egress/cloud/etc. costs. Eliminating lost revenue = new revenue

Sure, but that doesn't mean buying/owning apollo helps them eliminate that lost revenue. They eliminate lost revenue when Apollo stops existing, not when they buy it. What is the point of buying it if you dont want it to exist?

Take 2 options:

A> Buy Apollo for $10M, Apollo shuts down, 20M new revenue

B> Don't buy Apollo, Apollo shuts down, 20M new revenue

Spending $10M doesn't stop the losses, Apollo shutting down does.
The plundering argument doesn’t hold up. The empires of Europe were a net economic loss for their metropoles.
I have a feeling that should push come to shove china will turn out to be an overrated “power”, much like russia. I have nothing against china to be honest, i admire their determination and capacity to grow, but absolutely dislike their desire to expand militarily. While war is dangerous and undesirable for us, it is worse and even less desirable for china. If anything, their posturing will galvanise the much needed relationship between the us, free europe, and aligned nations even further. Personally i find such outcome good for us, and totally not desirable for china, russia, and other wannabe “powers”.
I just want more productivity. I don’t really care how we achieve it. I learned about “simps” and “e girls” from the article and discussions. I much rather these people were put to use doing research or labor or on some expedition military or exploration. I see them having much more positive things to contribute to society.

We should expect more from others. And it should be okay for people to disagree, but their options should be rich enough they naturally make a better decision.

> Other than the mega corps, noone is benefitting from this privacy enhancement. Just more work to adapt.

One time I was talking to a real estate agent, shortly after some of the post-'08-meltdown regulations had gone into effect. She said something like:

"It makes it so appraisers can't fudge the numbers a little higher to make sure people get their loans, now. Which I know wasn't what they intended, but it's what they've done, and it's hurting people."

She thought one of the things the regulation was definitely supposed to do, entirely on purpose, was some accident, and that this thing happening before that was not OK and was, over many iterations, partially responsible for the housing bubble happening in the first place, was in fact fine. She was totally unable to grasp that this behavior was bad and that the regulation was supposed to stop it, and that that was definitely a good thing—but it was making it harder for her and her banker(!) husband to close deals and sell loans, that is, to make money, so surely it can't actually be a good idea and overall beneficial to lots and lots of people.

Thank you this is very confusing but I suspect this is probably the best answer. Like maybe the compiler example was the first one and the driver example was the second one.
I asked ChatGPT "Is moderate consumption of energy drinks unhealthy?" and the answer was no. Moderate consumption is defined as "For adults, moderate consumption is typically defined as no more than 400 milligrams of caffeine per day, which is roughly equivalent to four cups of coffee or two 16-ounce cans of common energy drinks."

I drink them moderately so maybe the taurine is healthy for me at my age, although excessive consumption could be damaging. "There is evidence to suggest that excessive consumption of energy drinks can have negative effects on the cardiovascular system, including the potential for heart damage. Energy drinks typically contain high levels of caffeine and other stimulants, which can increase heart rate and blood pressure.

I'm under the impression that when people tell me they are unhealthy they are talking about stories of young people who damage their heart by drinking them constantly through out the day.
I think my big takeaway here is the absolutely horrific way spez has handled this situation down to outright lying about his interactions with third-party app maintainers.

Seems like the exact sort of problem that an open source codebase is designed to handle. Even just 10 random devs sending PRs to a github repo will always outpace the changes reddit makes since they're bottlenecked by having to push to millions of users. Coincidentally, the types that would contribute most likely wouldn't care about publishing it either, since it would be FOSS anyways giving users little incentive to buy it.

That doesn't really make sense. In no universe can you expect people to buy more expensive products. Government intervention (tarrifs, taxes, regulations, whatever) or some other measure is needed to protect local companies.
If it had no downsides, it could be an easy choice. But between the dubious morality, war crimes and PTSD, it's hard to compensate regardless of the positives (money, relatively, discipline, physical fitness?)
The general guideline isn't actually an amount: it's 3 - 6 months worth of living expenses. That is, what it takes to cover housing, transportation, food & utilities. If you're "living paycheck to paycheck" that's a problem, because it means 3-6 months worth of paychecks.

Personally, If you're living below your means, I would try to target 6 months to 1 year. Then again, the past 3 years have made me paranoid as hell. Your mileage may vary.

FWIW - I sleep a LOT better knowing I've got a year worth of expenses sitting in a high yield savings account. If I lost my job tomorrow? I'd say fuck it and take at least 4-6 weeks off before bothering to look for a job.
