If a lot of ChatGPT users were students, I would expect a drop during summer vacation.

I predict another article from the Washington Post in August/September about how ChatGPT is seeing a rebound in usage.
I'm neutral on protectionism: I'm in favor of laws that are precise and unambiguous, and not up to the interpretation of whatever courts and enforcement agencies wish to impose.

For example, which of the following statements are true according to the ECJ's interpretation?

American companies cannot run datacenters in Europe, because the CLOUD act might compel them to give up data to American authorities.

Canadian companies cannot run datacenters in Europe, because Canada might pass legislation that compels companies to give up data to Canadian authorities.

American citizens cannot work at datacenters in Europe, because they're subject to U.S. law, and the U.S. might pass legislation to compel them to steal data.

Germany cannot host datacenters, because they lack an independent nuclear triad, meaning that they're subject to U.S. invasion to seize the datacenters.
Most of the plugins are garbage, I just want chatgpt to have up to date knowledge and working natively with more media types. I don't think I've used a single plugin I thought had good results but I love gpt4 for work
I'm oversimplifying here, but carmakers do need EV divisions to bridge the gap. They need to be independent but be supported by the top of the organization. There's way too many stakeholders involved in the ICE orgs that could hamper progress here.

Another thing - these companies need to commit to building actual EV-first platforms instead of doing the weird platforms that supports both ICE and BEV which come with tradeoffs in packaging and driving dynamics.

That’s true, which is why countries are enacting new fossil fuel vehicle sales by future deadlines. It gives industry time to reconfigure but also doesn’t let them off the hook to deliver.
Bazel seems like a good idea but it's far too immature to actually work in the FOSS world, almost none of the external _rules are google quality, and it damn near requires a PhD to set up properly.

I spent a good few months learning it and it's not the tool I would reach for in almost any circumstance unfortunately.

Docs are also lacking, which is certainly not a problem with GitlabCI

If you're looking for something like this, Sokol is a much simpler alternative:

It doesn't support vulkan though, but if that's important to you you're probably much better off just using vulkan directly since it's supported on all the major platforms.
If you're not ideologically invested in this topic and are sincerely interested in the truth, I'd urge you to look at your own country from an outsider's point of view. The point being, many sources in the US that were reputable (i.e. scientific american) are parroting misinformation about this topic in service of ideology. That much is obvious to someone who does not live in the anglo-sphere. To address your claims, I'd recommend you check out Hannah Barnes' book, "Time to Think". This much should show that the study you're relying on is dubious, and transitively, your rhetoric.
Aw, my blog is still not in there :(

In the same article see the section "Exceptions include voting misinformation" - does it really baffle you that people think public health is as important as elections?
EVs use energy much more effectively and can be charged from local renewables. The import of petrol and its distribution is also a massive headache in many places. What is likely needed though is a way to charge EVs ar just a couple of hundred watts, to not overload anything.
They're getting faster in Ventura. Moving to the sealed system volume in macOS 11 made them huge and slow to apply, but they're getting better. On my M1 Ultra machine even large updates don't take more than 5 or 10 minutes in the restart stage, and that can include firmware updates for the Mac and monitor (Apple Studio Display). And now with the rapid security patches there are some updates you don't even have to restart to apply (mostly).
They are charging $20 + tax without regional pricing for a service that is constantly dropping in quality. No surprise there I guess.
They could already do that with pockets deep enough, what openai allows is for the common people to fight back
VR is still not done is it?
I work in fraud prevention with vendors such as this. Let me be the devil's advocate here: trust and risk scores such as these are often very useful for identifying account takeovers and stolen identities in the financial and telecom worlds. We often see folks on HN complaining about how banks don't protect them from fraud losses - companies like this are how there is any hope left for some modicum of consumer protection.

You may ask: Then why do banks not protect me from losses better?
I say: They're already doing something (invisible as it may be). They can definitely do a better job. But without companies such as Telesign, fraud losses would far, far worse.

You may ask: What if my data gathered is used for nefarious purposes?
I say: In my experience, data such as this is not allowed to be used for marketing purposes but strictly for consumer protection. I'm not specifically speaking about TeleSign but similar vendors. The worst that should happen is that you get a transaction declined, or get denied for a credit card etc. But no marketing or any other manipulative practice is allowed, in theory.

Happy to answer any questions you may have :)

After using the API quite heavily, I believe both arguments (expectations changed vs. ChatGPT changed) are likely correct.

As with any technology, we should predict the novelty to wear off and the rough edges to become more apparent. Peoples’ expectations have changed.

On the flip side, the ChatGPT interface has also changed (regardless of the underlying model). Any context you add to an LLM prompt will steer the LLM’s output, better or not.

We know for a fact ChatGPT uses a different/additional prompt to the API, as ChatGPT always has the current date. This changed in the ChatGPT interface around May 13th, around the same time as OpenAI claimed the model was identical. The addition of Plugins/web browsing around that time also made it easier to pollute your prompt, if either were enabled.

We also know that ChatGPT is running on different infra (based on latency diffs), so even if it’s the same model, it’s possible it’s configured ever so differently.

And finally, we also know there’s a new model (woohoo function calling!).

As an API user, my personal experience with GPT-4 is very similar to when it first came out. The hype was very high (AGI in months!) and the reality has been quite different.

GPT-4 is an amazing mirror of society, but it’s only worth what you put in.
School buses are a niche where everyone is buying about the amount of the same product from the same manufactures. You don't really get bulk discounts other than the same discount everyone else gets.

In the near term (1-3 years), no role in a traditional oems has incentives to make evs.

dealers make money from maintenance. evs have less maintence.

car salesmen are trained to negotiate, not educate consumers about evs.

factory workers/unions: evs require less factory workers.

many engineers have the wrong skills for evs.

executives also have the wrong skills. they are trained to negotiate with suppliers and focus on core competency. core competency changes from manufacturing engines to battery and electric drive train. innovation may require insourcing if suppliers fail.

investors want dividends and not to speculate on evs.

imho, it makes more sense for startups and tech companies to make evs.
Indeed, the feeling of dread when you do something that causes prod to go down is bad enough. I can't even imagine the feeling when accidentally deleting prod data...
This is surprisingly pro-corporate take. This same argument could be made for literally anywhere that people provide feedback on anything. In such cases I tend to favor the interests of the least powerful rather than the interests of the most powerful.

Feels like a rough, very early prototype of a cool idea. I think it would be much more interesting if each clue was a question, like, “Frida, which room were you in at 10:30?” etc. Then I would actually need to think about how to use as few clues as possible. Now I don’t think there’s any way to get the answer right except by guessing until all the clues eliminating murder weapons.

The UI for filling in who is in which room isn’t great, it would make more sense to say which room each person is in than who is in each room - one person can just be in one room after all.

A valid concern, but a couple points:

(1) This issue doesn't affect the treatment effect (the difference in return rates for money vs no money), which was the main focus of the paper. If email usage is low in a particular country, that should affect return rates equally in both the money and no money conditions.

(2) We've done a number of robustness checks on the point about email usage and have not been able to find evidence that it has a meaningful impact on the results. For instance, when looking at cross country differences in wallet return rates, the rank order correlation between the "raw" data and one that statistically adjusts for email penetration rates (based on World Bank data) is 0.95.

There are only a few remaining old posts, since i removed many others. I honestly haven't blogged in sooo long...But, recently, I've been getting the itch to write more; and more publicly too. This might be the trigger that i needed to get some forward movement. Let the broadcasts of thoughts begin!
The price isn't caused by patent encumbrance, but by lack of demand for 32" e-ink monitors. They're hand-fused from 4 16" panes because there's not enough throughput to make it worth automating the process.
The sad thing is that IMO, Windows users brought the shitty Windows Update implementation on themselves.

It was common in the Windows XP days for many users to never install updates and it really contributed to Windows's reputation for being incredibly insecure. Forcing updates became the only option to ensure Windows users remain secure.
> and being able to copy paste most HTML from one project to another and have it work

coughweb componentscough

I don't want to be derisive about it, but... yeah, agreed. I just feel like these are solved problems and Tailwind proponents are acting like it's novel that Tailwind helps with them. My immediate thought on hearing about even the benefits you bring up is that this doesn't seem like a realistic scenario?

One of the stated benefits of Tailwind is that it addresses this concern that the HTML and code/logic and CSS aren't meant to be separated from each other and they interact so much. Well, given how tightly coupled HTML and logic often is, how often does it actually happen where you can copy HTML from one project to another and not have to reformat it from one framework into another -- if you're writing React you're already coupling that HTML to your code. If you're writing Svelte, you're using Svelte templates that won't be present in Vue.

And if you're using CSS-in-JS, or heck, any scoped CSS solution at all then copying over that HTML means copying over the HTML and then... also hitting copy-paste on the block of CSS. That's not exactly a major time save. And even there -- how often am I going to import a block of HTML into a new project and not want to change the CSS to match a new style guide?

There is a solution that allows you to basically import everything without worrying about whether it fits the rest of your application logic and styling though: web components. I don't personally get a ton of use out of them in my own development, but they seem basically decent and they seem like a much better solution if someone is worried about having a shared component library across multiple apps?

---

I can't dismiss that there are developers that I respect who say Tailwind is great. I am not going to say that they're bad at CSS or they're inexperienced or something, that's clearly not the case. But I just wish they could explain what they're getting out of Tailwind in a way that I can understand. "You have to try it to understand it" -- I have tried it, I still don't understand it.

It doesn't help that so many of these arguments start with "imagine not needing to worry about specificity." I haven't worried about CSS specificity in years.
Homebrew keeps me on MacOS, without it I'd just use apt on Linux. Does anyone know if there's a site like brew.sh for searching apt packages? I know that ubuntu has an apt page but it's really confusing.
That's not an LLM problem, there's a physical divide between a physical stores operation and whatever its representation online is. Google tries to do this by tracking people and activity in locations to see if people are at a place or something but reality is there is not a clean interface to that other than contacting someone at the location.

Actually I used it a lot for weeks but mainly to find out if I'm going to become unemployed in the next 2 years (probably not) and also learning how use an AI assistant assuming it's here to stay. There seem to be other interesting use cases but considering it's really not more than autocomplete I kind of lost trust in the results.

Okay, so relatively new then. Cool, no worries.

The "new Ubuntu crap" is actually pretty good. You should take a look at it.
I’m sorry, are you indicating you know my kids better than I do?

The kids got “B”s because everyone who showed up got Bs. It was social promotion.

This became painfully obvious when the first marking period scores in many classes was F and D in the private school. And was backed up by equally bad standardized testing scores.
That’s more like YAGNI.

The other comment made a good point about WP templates, I can only speak to my own experience. I have mostly worked on projects where I could edit the HTML, and in those cases using a Tailwind-like methodology was dramatically easier. Even when doing a full-site redesign.

So if you are designing for a project where you are unable to edit HTML, sure, use the right tools for the right. Or if the bulk of your coding time is spent doing full site redesigns instead of updates to an existing design, then it wouldn’t be the right approach. I wouldn’t use it on a project intended to be white-labelled, otherwise that’s the methodology I’d use.
I see where you were going, but I don't think Theory of Mind quite fits.

ToM says that a person understands someone else to have their own knowledge, ideas, motivations, etc. But this behavior is not simply understanding that others have their own motivations, but imputing negative motivations onto others.
>I can't even get ChatGPT (+ web plugin), when given a list of restaurants in NYC, to tell me which ones are still open vs have closed, and what their hours of operation / locations are.

This is doable using a tool I've built. The key is to have that data in a RDBMS and to use an LLM to generate the SQL query that answers your question. Companies haven't offered this yet because there's no safe way to execute these queries on your behalf. Which is where my library comes in[1].

> it is an issue, and a waste for people to maintain multiple iCloud accounts, purchase multiple machines, and have notes and other materials scattered across machines and accounts

It is an issue, and security concern, for employees of an organization to risk adding corporate devices to their personal accounts, and vice versa. Why would you want your personal stuff on a machine you don't own?

I use my work email for my work AppleID, and use that to sign into my work-provided devices. Never the twain shall meet. In addition, we have a Developer account, which would even further muddy the waters if I start mucking around with personal stuff (certificates, provisioning profiles, etc.).

> an admin could view some contents of your iCloud account

Yeah; that's why you don't give them access to it. I also don't use Outlook and Teams on my personal phone. Work gets to contact me on my work devices.

> two subscriptions for Music for example. And different ids you are contactable at

No? Just don't buy a second Music subscription. Also, you have a work and personal email; are those multiple points of contact also an issue for your coworkers/family?
On top of what others have said, the advantage to using one of these remote versions (besides removing the need for a local install), is that they often provide support for arcade-style features like leaderboards and the ability to watch other players games either live or as replays.
Yep the web UI is back up and the remote is accepting pushes/pulls now. I'm guessing the major bleeding has been stopped and they have a massive cleanup job to do over the next few days or weeks.
Good fun. I think, though, that precision in language might be a challenge. Some previous comments I concur. Over and above those, I was very strict not to infer anything outside the minimum of what was said. For example, “I was in bedroom from 10:00 to 10:15” does not imply that “I was not in the bedroom before or after that time”. Or, “I didn’t see anyone when I arrived” only means I saw no one in the destination room, not that there wasn’t someone in the kitchen (that I must have walked through) or the source room. Illogical that the murder could have happened up to 11:15, at exactly the same time that the police arrive—unless the victim phoned it in. These rules left ambiguity.
Anybody who has worked on rolling out large scale software systems should understand this.

Personally, I think the US should also have much stronger laws that safeguard the data of their people.
A bit of clickbait seems to me. “9 month old Demo ware service sees fluctuation in active users”

I find it weird that folks seem to look at ChatGPT as some sort of end product. It’s a “holy shit this is cool” demo that became viral. It’s not a product. It’s a POC.
The article only addresses the website and application. I expect that what we will see is a shift from individual users to enterprise usage. Individuals are not going to subscribe indefinitely, but I expect corporate access to the API will continue to be healthy.
Jupyter offers nothing that Mathcad and Mathematica didn't in the 80s. We should be using open source, git-friendly file formats so we can edit them collaboratively in our editor of choice; e.g., our IDEs. We are not using it wrong; Jupyter notebooks reflect an archaic product philosophy and way of working. Kill it with fire.
Ask HN: Best newsletter for keeping up with ChatGPT tricks and tips?
It's been 3 months since this was asked and with ChatGPT traveling at hyper speed it's so hard to keep up with the latest tips on how to best leverage it. Anyone got a resource in newsletter or RSS feed form to stay on tops of things? Thanks
Not a student, but getting constantly cloudflare-blocked and models seeming less capable every update has been giving me pause.
You and me reading books about fuzzy logic in the 80s didn't constitute the initial round of AI.
I thought this was only me! For me, my dad was self employed as an "accountant" of sorts, and specialized in what might be called forensic accounting of Medicare reimbursements. He dragged 12 year old me into hospital data processing centers at 3am to print records so he could do his work.

In this case, he had a certain amount of records to print in the time allotted, and he needed two operators to make the window. I learned a lot of useless knowledge about which medical procedures qualify for extra reimbursement for Medicare, and also what Sunset Park, Queens looked like at 3am. Nothing really useful in life.

I think if my dad had hired someone and let me sleep and play on the computer instead, that probably would have turned out better for me.
Nice set of anecdotes. You might even be right. It is, however, obvious that you are using motivated reasoning, especially with that dig at the end essentially calling private schools and voucher proponents racist. What's galling enough I bothered to respond is that you're incorrect on that point. Private schooling predates public schooling in America by a lot. Free public education wasn't a widespread thing in the US until the 1830s, and wasn't mandatory and federally supported until the 1910s. Private schools /may/ have opened specifically to counter desegregation, but private schools long predate public schooling. Private school was the norm for most of the history of the US and the commonwealth.
Production of critical infrastructure WILL BE banned. Just because it’s in the future doesn’t mean it’s not a ban.

I agree they’ll just repeal it if needed. What good does this law do then? So many people are relentlessly working on electric trucks for the financial incentive.

The second order effects are unknown to me. California auto manufacturers are never gonna invest in improving ICE vehicles if they think it’s about to be illegal.

We can see real life effects of policies like this during the recent oil shortage when demand far exceeded domestic refining capacity. Look at what happened to Germany and the EU because of their insane “environmentalist (but no nuclear)” policies.

Legislators suck and should get out of the way of technological progress.
