Summarize Group Chats Using GPT-4
We just published an open-source project to summarize whatsApp and Signal group chats using ChatGPT and generate a newsletter for the group. It's built for community managers that want to provide an easy-to-digest summary to their members.

We have been using it in multiple groups for the past few weeks and members really liked the results!

The html upload is my favorite part and the one I'm most scared about. This post is actually an html upload: https://non.io/reddit-has-platform-user-misalignment

One issue though is automatically resizing the iframe for the frontend. I have a protocol for iframes to request their own size, which this script leverages: https://html.non.io/nonio-embedded-page.js

I'll likely create a setting to automatically inject that script into html uploads.
>The principles that I agree with are that no one should be censored. Most people can agree to that because most people can see that good speech being censored is much worse than bad speech not being censored.

You immediately within the same sentence just said "when principles are being applied".

>There are people who literally believe that life begins and conception and abortion is murder. Planned Parenthood's position is that a fetus isn't a person until it gets older. Which position you agree with is the very point of contention in the debate. The people who take the other side are not acting in bad faith. They honestly disagree with you.

This isn't a good faith debate as to whether or not that is discrimination. You are one of the most unreasonable and bad faith posters I've engaged with here.
Yaccarino is saying what she needs to, but the typical and tired self-aggrandizing "we're on a mission to change the world" platitudes ring more than a bit hollow given the chaos of the past several months. Showing up for your new job right as your Trust and Safety leadership quits and the owner starts happily chatting with openly anti-Semitic propaganda accounts is definitely an indication that regaining advertiser trust is going to be an uphill battle.
> They were leaving their original family, thus reducing the number of people who'd need to be fed and sheltered, while the husband's family was taking on that duty, thus they claimed to deserve compensation

Wow, that's an insane perspective. So even your own daughters were thought of as a burden?

I can't believe this showed up on the front page today! I was just talking to a co-worker about this:

Back in 1989, my college buddy Matt had a used Sentra that had that same voice. We assumed his got "warped" or something because the inflection of the female voice kind of rises at the end of some of her statements, making her sound annoyed with the human(s).

Listening to the video, however, it sounds exactly like I remembered--so I guess that was standard.
Sure thing. r/velo.

You can make a village in some interesting ways. 4chan is a village, that's why it's one of the best resources/communities on the internet today. I've learned much of what I know about LLMs and generative AI on /g/. The toxicity/chaos of the place is probably the main thing that enables it to continue to be a village for all these years. There's more than one way to shear a sheep, and I don't think the 4chan method is the best way to make a village, but a village make it does.

I just mention it here because it's probably something that doesn't occur to most people, and maybe it should be something we think about more. I think 4chan has a very interesting property in that the gatekeeping is only your ability to mentally filter every Nth (depending on the board) post being full of slurs. Outside of that it's egalitarian and openly accessible to a greater degree than anywhere else on the internet, there's value to that that people miss.
Changing characters and their depictions is a thing that can be argued about, but there's definitely no need to print n-bombs in books printed in 2023.

In general, it's (IMHO) not needed to have centuries old books full of stereotypes in modern curricula. There are so many works that have been published in the last decades that provide far better diversity of all kinds than even a "de-racisted" historic book can. Modern authors, modern artists, modern composers and other artists deserve their shine in the spotlight as well - it's ridiculous how much of curricula is spent on stuff that happened or got created hundreds to thousands of years ago. We have to refocus education on modern events if we want a modern society.

And if you want something filled with racial or other stereotypes in curricula, ffs print it with commentary like we do with Hitler's "Mein Kampf" here in Germany. That is, coincidentally, the only way one is allowed to do a reprint in Germany due to copyright and anti-Nazi symbolism laws.
>RTOSes are used and not fully fledged OSes.

The idea that "RTOS" and "fully fledged OS" are incompatible with each other is outdated.

seL4 advanced the state of the art with its formally-verified support for mixed criticality, years ago already.
The sad thing though is that $100k on art wasn’t wasted. It allowed an artist to make art and a living. I’m down the with tech and I’ve even written a typing game that generates Minecraft stories with a LLM and imagines them with stable diffusion for my daughter to learn typing with. But - my mom is an artist and she spent her career starving between sales and commissions. The fact the models have ingested their work and careers and can now replace them is sad.

On the other hand, I’ve never been an artist myself. So I’ve never been able to make my game ideas come true until now. The world is much more open to me in a creative side that my mechanical skills prevented.

Artists will continue to make art because it’s a compulsion. But I wish we had a world that was less oriented towards rewarding meaningless toil and would at least allow our born artists, writers, and creators the chance to do their obsessions to our benefit. Especially as we move post scarcity, I hope we can build a WPA like entity - perhaps, in a crazy twist, funded by AI?

You think we might be better off burning wood and dung instead of solar and nuclear? Carbon free energy requires high technology global civilization.

You can use a git-based workflow for feature flags, that's likely how most teams will start using flags in their code with environment variables and infrastructure state. However, most deployment pipelines in the wild are very slow and owned by engineering, limiting the value of doing git-based state for your Feature Flags.

I've seen that disconnecting the deployment of code from releasing of features can be transformative in various ways that fit better with an API-based model for Feature Flags:

- Many flags / remote config changes in production environments are made by non-developer members of a team.

- Coordinating releases across multiple platforms that have different deployment cycles. For example, deploying a new feature to Mobile + Web + APIs simultaneously.

- Enabling / disabling flags in real-time across your stack to respond to incidents.

- Support / Sales teams using Flags to gate features for customers.

- Remote config to populate data for UIs, to act as a CDN for content.

- Rolling out infrastructure changes, being able to roll back changes instantly without another deployment.

(And for context: our Feature Flag decisioning is done locally for our local bucketing server SDKs)

You can multihost your static site; you don't have to only use Cloudflare. You can have more than one CDN. Nothing is centralising you or funnelling you somewhere you don't want to go.

You ignore the tribal tug of war at your own peril.

I like hashtags - but, like you, I don't think they work as the primary means of content discovery.
I don't think it really helps with incentive alignment, honestly. Many companies -- particularly tech companies -- are of the "maximize profit no matter what" mindset.

That mindset would view not spying on paid users as gross negligence. I mean, how many times just on HN have you heard the sentiment that "leaving money on the table" is always a bad thing?

One justification for dowry that people asking dowry used to give was till 2005, the hindu inheritance law did not have a claim for daughters. So dowry was a way to get that inheritance in advance.
>continuing is dangerous to the integrity of the data on that system

Not really. IOMMUs have been a thing for a while. As for the GPU's hardware, it can be reset w/o affecting the rest of the system.

Even Linux and Windows can do that, it isn't a microkernel-exclusive thing. The latter just handle it better architecturally.
The graph is zoomed in. The Y axis doesn't start at zero, so it appears to be a larger difference at first glance than it actually is.
There's also a few anti engagement mechanics that help run HN.

If the comments under posts become too active, it is downrated and disappears from the front page which reduces the rates of people commenting on it.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16020089

You'll also note things like "when the comment is too deep the reply link disappears" which creates a bit more friction for carrying on what would likely be unproductive threads.

Things around controversial topics also get downranked (whereas on Reddit hot topics move to the top of the list).

There's a lot of automated tooling in HN that reduces the amount of manual moderation that is needed by making it harder to have posts that contain things that need moderation.
Another aspect of traditional indian family practice that relates to dowries is how a family's wealth itself flows in estate planning. When the parents die their wealth and land are inherited only by their sons (none given to daughters). The dowry in that respect, also functions as a pre-payment of a share of the family's inheritance to the bride (and her new family,) as she's moving on to a different family.

In middle class and higher families, there is also a large amount of gold and jewelry gifted to the bride during marriage, by everyone in both the bride and husband's extended family. This is generally done in public and can be considered a pre-payment of her divorce settlement. This gold is owned by her and because this transfer is documented and done in public, if the couple breaks up, it would be known in the village whom the gold belongs to.

It's important to keep in mind that these traditions vary greatly within different Indian sub-cultures and even family to family. You can't paint everyone with the same brush of this article. The broader culture is also changing slowly as generations tick by, and women's education and their own capacity generate a salary grows rapidly.

I can imagine in 20 years there will be significant change to all these practices.

I am currently working on setting up a non-profit and plan to operate the platform just like Wikimedia runs Wikipedia. I see non-profit as the only viable, sustainable alternative in the long run. I am planting a seed, hoping others will join and help me build it, and soon enough enable me to step down. I have a full time job on the side and a family to take care of, and running this as a one-man-show is not an option.

A penny for your thoughts? Comments?
I think it's a bit simplistic to say that modernism is "lefty", especially today, when it's probably more of a conservative principle. (Postmodernism tends to be more accepted by the left, which might be what you were thinking of, but even that isn't always a very useful generalisation. The whole concept of being "post truth", which was Trump's whole playbook, is a very postmodern idea.)

I think the key thing is that the modernism/postmodernism/left/right thing doesn't really matter here, because both Cultural Bolshevism and Cultural Marxism are both fundamentally conspiracy theories. They both claim that modernism (and postmodernism respectively) are attacks on our society by a small group of bad actors who have infiltrated society in some way. (And to be clear, there is no evidence for these claims at all.) In Cultural Bolshevism, those bad actors were explicitly linked to the Jews. In Cultural Marxism, that explicit link isn't often there, but given the connections to the previous antisemitic theory, and the fact that many of the early proponents were explicitly antisemitic, it's difficult to separate the two entirely.
Nothing is worse than joining a Discord server and finding out it's enormous. You go to any given channel and the discussions are flying by so fast only people who are regulars can catch all the content but even then it's basically just noise.

Thread support was added to alleviate some of the noise problem but in communities that actually use them there's so many threads it's easy to lose track and everywhere else they're basically just strange ways of isolating yourself from the rest of the people in the community.

I think even more interesting is generating entire styles and story lines that evolve infinitely and coherently based off of seeds. Players could even inject a concept - “steampunk” or “discworld” and an LLM could construct the story, with characters, and visual themes.
> They’re rooted in the idea that women are property.

You have that backwards!! A bride price is the price paid to the bride's family, as you would pay for property.

Whereas dowry is the opposite -- paid by the bride's family to the groom.

It's rooted in the idea that the groom is expected to personally contribute financially, but the bride's family makes a contribution for her.

The most direct effect of the dowry itself is to increase the "privilege" given to brides in the wedding arrangement.

A modern analog is the bride's family paying for the wedding.

> “it has a business model”

What’s that story about the economist who was trying to concentrate but there were kids playing soccer below his window and being noisy, so he went out and offered them $1 each if they come back and played tomorrow. The next day he offered them 50c, then 25c, and after that 5c, and the kids got annoyed “we wouldn’t come here to play for a measly five cents!” and stormed off, and didn’t come back.

I’ve put many hours into Reddit and Stackoverflow for free, but if you take $24 from me for a year and then offer me $0.0193 for my efforts based on upvotes I might feel a bit cheesed off about it.

Being forced to face how insignificant I am feels likely to drive me away, free upvotes at least let me feel important and they cost nothing.

Or the people who knit clothes saying things along the lines of “I’ll do it for a genuine thank you, but $10 is an insult; if this is a transaction, that doesn’t begin to cover my costs let alone my time”.

An alternative: allow copyright holders to publish new editions but only if they 1) clearly label them as new, edited versions that are not the original and 2) make the unedited originals fully and completely available upon request, for a (truly) reasonable fee to anyone who requests access to them for whatever reason.

If these conditions aren't met within a reasonable timeframe, then (by law) the original version would automatically become fully (or partially) public domain. ("Partial" public domain would mean than anyone could make or distribute copies of the original version. The copyright holders would temporarily retain the exclusive right to make edited versions, until the work fully becomes public domain when the standard copyright term lapses. At that point anyone could make and distribute the original version or their own, edited versions.)

Next up, non-virtual crucifixions for the visceral devotees in order to keep it real again [0].

Seriously, given how terribly morose the Catholic church is, I really don't see it being out of the realm of possibility.

As for this, its a PR stunt; less and less people are attending church in most of the Western world and the move towards secularism is a sign of progress if it can be coupled with a healthy sense of community.

Too much blood has been shed for these fairy tales and the fact that Humanity has a deep fixation with making Gods out of everything should be turned inward and turn into a reverence for Nature and the environment which keeps them alive rather than some scriptures written by archaic ways of living and thinking by most organized religion.

I study AI and ML and to be honest this is the most low hanging fruit one can think of when seeking spiritual guidance in Life, or using data to enhance and improve many things: this is clearly not one of them.

Are there going to be a new legion of AI-based televangelist preachers spamming every medium available because their Human counterparts can't or won't anymore? Seems to me that this will go the way of subscription based everything and hidden as a form of tithing to the few who remain.

Thank you for posting this. This captures something that I had trouble putting into words.

As someone who started using Reddit back in 2006 pre-Digg migration, this is probably one the best explanations of the immense loss I have felt in experiencing Reddit change over the past decade and a half. All the parts I enjoyed were pushed to the periphery, and while you could still find "villages" there, the bulk of the experience was "just passing through". This isn't a "get off my lawn" sentiment, it's about what value you place on the places you inhabit, whether in person or online. Whether I kept returning to Reddit out of habit or because I was still looking for that old experience almost doesn't matter, because it's not there anymore.
Although it's the same article, it's a related in the sense that the discussion happened in the past. A submission is not considered a dupe if it's been over a year since last submitted.
