They don't understand as in OpenAI learned that ChatGPT is capable of doing things it was never intentionally trained to do after it was released. I've heard anecdotally that self-driving cars can pick up the unwanted behavior of inching up to a red light in anticipation of it turning green and they were never trained to do that specifically.

So government censorship and surveillance are perfectly ok in your opinion, just as long as 51% of elected representatives are supportive? Cool, thanks. No further discussion necessary.
That’s super interesting. I’m recovering from burnout and other health issues and I’ve found it to be occasional helpful in the way you are describing. For me, it can smooth out the process and “lower the intensity” of accomplishing any particular task, especially if it is something where I don’t know how to do it off the top of my head (what libs / functions to use, how to call them, etc). I can then pretty easily correct any mistakes, and I didn’t have to spend 20 mins googling, reading docs, and so on in order to solve the problem.

If you don’t mind, do you have any good examples of how you prompt it? Your process looks pretty nice / robust, it would be cool to see it in action.

Also, have you used gpt-4 much or can you get away with using 3.5 sometimes?
Wanted to chime in, been a long time reader, it's great work.
Reminds me of the dystopia featured in the 2nd season of Picard: rather than solve the environmental problems, they just used technology to block out the effects.
> On brief reflection, while writing this comment, it seems like the only solution is to fall back to some other (long-lived) identity (from which the original OAuth token was derived).

I have been working on an OAuth service provider for the past few months, ran into this scenario. We came up with a solution of not immediately expiring the refresh token after it's used but set its expiry to X seconds (<30s) in the future and put it in a leeway state. If another call with the same refresh token is received within the X seconds and the refresh token is in the leeway state, a new token pair is created. If the refresh token is used after X seconds, it's no longer valid and a new authorization has to be generated.

Of course this isn't a foolproof solution, it has its own caveats but it's better than the alternative of forcing the user to go through the authorization process again or keeping the refresh token alive forever.

Another is peripheral support. I have a trackir which doesn't really work right in Linux on the games I'd like to use it. It also takes a lot more fiddling to get even supported devices (like my Logitech gaming wheel) working correctly.

Everything put together appears to be using 368 + 94 + 16 + 37 = 515MB of RAM while watching a video.

> From building codes to systems of labor and construction, everything is designed with the detached single-family home in mind: zoning that bans apartments (and density and affordability) over large swaths of urban America; a mortgage, financing, and appraisal system with a long history of inequity and racism; and systems of neighborhood government and community feedback that favor homeowners. Changing this system, from both a cultural and construction perspective, is like “turning around a tanker ship,” Hogan says.

This nails it. American “cities” are mostly low-density sprawls where everyone has a useless yard surrounding their home which serves as mostly an aesthetic flourish. But rebuilding American cities with functional parks and high-density housing and everything in walking distance is deeply unpopular because, like most of this, Americans just don’t know what they’re missing because they’ve been sold a dead-end dream.
I really liked the story and the way it was told. I could sit there with the guys and experience their stress and panic.

The point about sexism was unnecessary and detracting to the story. It's yet another sad sign of how political propaganda infects absolutely everything. I long the days where you could simply enjoy a story without having to endure references to any kind of cultural war (sex wars, identity politics, etc), or narcissistic virtue signaling from an author.

Yes, sexism bad. Yes, woman were unfairly treated at some points in history. Yes, people should have sex to whatever consenting adult entity they prefer. But do we really need to plaster every single wall in life with those messages? To me it's just tiring. I need places where the relentless totalitarian narrative "our tribe good, that tribe bad" stops and I can simply enjoy life and smell some flowers.

I can't help but think the author craved a tap on the back, and wanted to send a message saying: "please like me because I'm one of your gang. I despise sexism and this story is factual evidence that the rival gang (sexists) are incompetent assholes".

But using the HN ethos, I should assume a positive intention from the author. Such a reading would be: "women are good intuitive thinkers, and the woman who walked out that flight knew the pilot was not competent". But if that's the intention, there's no logic or arguments to support it in the story.

Lawyers at my job pointed out one particularly nasty aspect of CLAs: the lack of liability controls.

All open source licenses have some form of legal liability wording in them, e.g. from GPL v2:

> 12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

No CLA I've seen so far does anything to maintain that protection from liability. Those responsible for the software could switch the license to one which leaves you, or your employer, legally liable for any damages incurred. That could very, very quickly, bankrupt you and/or them.
I disagree with such blanket statements. I would phrase it as - know what you're getting into, starting a business will mostly have your running a business rather than doing the "individual contributor" work.

If you still want to do it while knowing that, go ahead- just keep your eyes open. And for those of us blessed to work in fields like software development the risks aren't even that high - most likely if your business fails you will have no problem getting a (likely higher paid than you had before) job afterwards.

> “The problem is that it’s not a treaty; that’s an American law,” Sai said. “The United States could no more annex a foreign country by passing a law than it could pass the law today for the Congress to annex Canada. It has no effect beyond the borders of the United States.”
I'm actually not sure? Prima facie, I think it would in fact be legal for Congress to conquer and annex Canada. A bad idea. But the constitution does not seem to prohibit it.

It would be legal within the US where the governing law is the constitution. It would not be legal outside if the US. Which is the point the original article was making.
In 1993, Vidal lamented that literature had lost its place at the center of American culture:

"I said recently to a passing interviewer, 'You know, I used to be a famous novelist.' And the interviewer said, 'Oh, well, you're still very well known. People read your books.' And so I said, 'I'm not talking about me. I'm talking about the category. 'Famous novelist'? The adjective is inappropriate to the noun. It's like being — 'I'm a famous ceramicist.' Well, you can be a good ceramicist. You can be a rich ceramicist. You can be much admired by other ceramicists. But you aren't famous. That's gone."
I like Randall Munroe's summary of the argument (https://what-if.xkcd.com/65/):

> Almost everyone who hears this argument immediately sees something wrong with it. The problem is, everyone thinks it's wrong for a different reason. And the more they study it, the more they tend to change their minds about what that reason is.
In what way is its functionality "nearly the same as Slack"? Or are people these days just using Slack as a generic term for "channel-based chat" without acknowledging the long history of chat apps?

What do we call a token that's stored in a cookie, sent via the HTTP 'Authorization' header to the API with each request, and Redis-cached on the server for say 5 minutes after looking it up in the users/token service? I still call it a token, just not a JWT. Maybe I should change my terminology?

hn isn't pure white and it does kill me at night on powerful monitors... just like I can't do dark mode outside on a laptop. Sure we did readable websites in the 90s, on dialup or slow dsl, and they took forever to load on small monitors. We also didn't have USB or SSDs.

Dark mode and light mode is a nice tradeoff for varied lighting conditions.

Self-signed certificates aren't quite as bad as insecure HTTP, since you at least have the ability to manually verify them out-of-band, and even if you don't do that, you're still at least safe from passive taps.

> I would say what makes Slack so popular is how easy it is to set up and get running, both as a service and for every user, combined with the availability of easy integrations/plugins

That is part of the User eXperience. I.e. UX.
As a fellow someone who turned his interest into a business (that I'm still currently running) I agree it's a challenge but having a career as an employee is also challenging in a different way.

For example I found having to seem like a good employee to my boss by looking busy and not leaving before at least 6pm a sort of stress I don't have now that I don't have a boss - I don't have to pretend I'm working at least 40h/w if I manage to do what I need to in less and go pick up my kids from school in the early afternoon some days.

At the end of the day although I'm more stressed in some ways (and less in others), I've never been as happy as an employee as I have been running my own company. You can even learn to enjoy the new aspects of your work that have to do with running a business and adapting to the market.

Like you I also learned a lot about aspects that I never understood as an employee and I'm now a lot more careful before judging other people's actions without having all the context (sometimes it makes sense from the inside)!
I used to like Lisp's homoiconicity. These days, I'm not even sure the concept makes any sense? What is it even supposed to mean?

Lisp has (simple) syntax for creating literals and writing code. But when you inspect your data from the inside of Lisp, they don't have any more (or less) relation to that syntax than eg Python does.

Eg no modern Lisp stores a function as an S-Expr of its syntax. You get an opaque piece of data that you can do certain operations on, just like in eg Python or Haskell.

Lisp using S-Expressions is an interesting syntax choice, but that's it. It doesn't by itself have any deeper impact on the language. (Of course, socially it does have a deeper impact, because it makes it simple for language users to write macros that look exactly like built-in parts of the language, instead of bolted on.

But that's all in human brains and social interactions, nothing fancy going on here on a technical level.

If you wouldn't mind much more tediousness, you could implement seamless macros in almost any language as a pre-processing step.)
hmm the examples on the landing page are simply categories which crunchbase search has well.

How are you "training" them? It's important to drill down into what they're struggling with before you throw resources at them.

I've found that code reviews are the best way to mentor and transfer knowledge. And it goes both ways: you review their code, they review your code. When I'm explicitly training someone, I get them to review my code and I occasionally throw in some minor curveballs that I expect them to pick up on in the first few rounds (e.g. obviously incorrect conditionals, some convoluted loop, leaky interfaces, etc.) If they stamp the PR without picking up on those items, I highlight it using a "do you think this is correct/is there a better way for us to do this" line of questioning. 5-10 or so PRs later, they become the first to spot those issues :-)
What you are describing is quite literally the UX, the user experience, and Slack overall has quite a good one. Although several of the newer features are somewhat lacking in that regard, like the threads feature.

Given the models’ propensity to being able to fairly-regularly reproduce gettyimages watermarks, I’d imagine putting a mark in the same place, at the same size on all the training images would train it that the mark must be there.

Being a famous novelist is mostly branding now. "Tom Clancy", "James Patterson", and "Clive Cussler" are brand names you see in big type, with the name of the actual author in small type below. Patterson has so many authors there seems to be a new Patterson book every two weeks. Clancy has been dead for years.

disagree. it goes to show what was on the Captain's mind when he should have been focusing on preparing for flight, and getting his head in the game.

he was obviously rubbed raw by the interaction, and blamed it on sexist things rather than considering that maybe he had a hand in the outcome of the conversation with the woman in question.

this lack of ownership of one's own actions as demonstrated by the captain was apparent throughout the entire article and was a factor in the crash, as described.
