Show HN: OppenheimerGPT – use Bard and ChatGPT side-by-side (macOS menubar app)
I built this app over the weekend, let me know if you guys find it useful!

* What is it?: Very simple to use. Type your prompt once, and app will mirror your prompt into both Bard and ChatGPT browser windows sitting side-by-side. Hit send!

* Why did I built it?

1) I found myself consistently pasting the same question into both Bard and ChatGPT to get answers from each. This became even more frequent after ChatGPT disabled its internet browser plugin.

2) I wanted an elegant app that sits in macOS menubar, but I found no existing solutions.

3) I'm fascinated by the current AI race. I find it somewhat captivating to see which model does better for my question and see how each model is improving over time.

Why is the app called OppenheimerGPT? :P Like many of you, I watched Oppenheimer movie over the weekend and drew numerous parallels between the movie and the ongoing AI race, hence the app's name.
If an object is callable you can use it in places that might conventionally expect functions. The utility of that is very situational, though. I've only used it a handful of times myself over the years I've known and used Python.

It may also give you a "clearer" (in quotes because subjective) presentation for something you're trying to do.
The truly sad thing is they have sky-high depression rates and all anyone cares is that they use too much social media and believe in astrology. The way the west regards love is supernatural anyways, so it's not surprisingly that they'd accept the idea of fate in this too.

Question/feedback: is there a way to configure things such that I just pay the correct amount in taxes every year? There's a very detailed part of the plan where I outline that I want to use the US tax bracket strategy, but it's odd to me that I then I have to guess how much taxes to withhold for each income stream. An option where I just always withhold the correct amount per-income stream would be awesome.

If we're talking cyberpunk dystopias, we'd have to resort to hand-soldered audio couplers that use our locked-down phones as modems. Once the next Android/iOS update detects and blocks unauthorized binary carriers, we'll have to steganographically hide our traffic in fake voice calls. Crappy baud rate, but good enough for encrypted text. Augment with sneakernet and local hard-wired networks running under lawns and dorm room carpets.

Although in this grim future where all communication is monitored and censored, people like you and I will probably be up in the hills in the rebel camps, and open networking protocols might be low on our list of priorities.

When people complain about Apple providing built-in operating system functionality that you previously needed a third-party app for it always comes across as bizarre to me. The user experience is much better if certain functions are available out of the box.

Or do these people really think we were better off when the App Store had a thousand flashlight apps? What's next, should they not ship Safari or Preview with the operating system either?
Safety means no undefined behavaior. It does not mean free of bugs, or security issues, or free from crashes. It simply means every operation has well specified semantics.
I'm convinced that the value of active voice is not precision and clarity, but rather the subliminal egocentrism away from the object (the research) towards the subject (the researchers) who need to receive credit for the work. The royal "we" also helps frame the work as a collaborative effort with the audience.
Very nice. The bird should have had an X for its eye, though.
> What accounts for this?

IMHO people have tired of the smug dismissive assholes that dominate SO and its its insipid gamification and they have, gradually, found alternatives.

For some, it's more welcoming and knowledgeable communities in github issues+discussion.

For others it's special-purpose, interactive forums that provide more guidance and non-hostile support for users of certain platforms/tools (eg Posit Community).

For many, copilot has been fulfilling that need, Does it always give "the correct" answer? No. Does it provide a sketch of a solution that gets you half-way there when dealing with tedious humdrum stuff that you just forgot because it's so boring? YES.

For yet others it's just plain old reddit where you can ask a question and whether it gets smacked down or not depends on how cool the community happens to be.
The Mad Magazine Fold-In Effect in CSS – Thomas Park (2020)
"Pro" has a 7-day trial and this below the CTA:

> Billed annually for $540 + tax.

The dollar amount doesn't quite line up, but it's close. Unless there's very clear confirmation before pulling the trigger on the trial, I would agree this feels on the shady side - at that price point after a 7-day trial, and without a lot of messaging at every stage, I would expect to see an elevated rate of chargebacks.

If it helps, this is via the "Upgrade" option when the app is trying to recover a sandbox session from localStorage; I haven't navigated to the pricing page any other way.
None of those people you mentioned share Yudkowsky’s conclusion that air strikes against data centers are warranted.
any, all, map, filter, min, max, for loops, zip, list, tuple, reduce, list comprehensions, cycle, repeat, islice, and so on in python work on iterables, and iterable is a protocol, not a class. it would certainly be interesting to program in a language where conforming to a protocol (perhaps one that nobody had thought up yet when you wrote your class) would give your class new methods, or where all iterables had to derive from a common base class, but it would be a very different language from python

incidentally in your example, though data does flow from top to bottom, control does not, assuming the filter and map methods are lazy as they are in python; it ping-pongs back and forth up and down the sequence in a somewhat irregular manner, sometimes reaching as far as .min() before going back up, and other times turning around at .filter(...)

i wonder if you could implement the ide functionality you want with a 'wrap' menu of popular functions that are applicable to the thing to the left of your cursor, so when you had

filter(some_filter, bar.baz())|

(with | representing your cursor) you could select `map` or `min` or whatever from the wrap dropdown and get

min(filter(some_filter, bar.baz()))|

for any given cursor position in python there are potentially multiple expressions ending there, in cases like

"y: %s" % y|

but maybe that's not such a hard problem to solve

Yes, presumably the breaking news that the government-corporate propaganda machine wanted us to see.

No, I don't, why do you think that?
Current ruling coalition after establishing government all of sudden decided to do wide reaching reform of supreme court even though that they were running on platform of security and lowering cost of life.

Reform will prevent supreme court from overruling unlawful laws and government actions. It will also give to government ability to pretty much appoint it's own judges to supreme court (currently there is a rather complicated scheme that requires a discussions and compromises). (this is very simplistic overview)(in last 30 years supreme court overruled 22 laws or so).

Big part of population not happy with those changes and been protesting for past 7 months. A good chunk of people (30%-40% or so) who actually voted in current coalition are also against those changes.

Ruling coalition has opinion that because they got majority that can do anything they want because this is democracy. Or something like this.

There was long negotiations between coalition and opposition but they failed.

In reality prime minister probably would have liked to cancel/soften reforms, but it will mean that his coalition will fall apart and current polls predict for them minority after elections

PS. Today passed first law of the reform, which severely limits how supreme court can use "reasonableness" in making it's decisions with regards to government actions
You would declare the type of the returning value:

Although once in a while it's useful to make a short synonym for disambiguating the type, x_of_y is certainly not a short synonym, so it's not commonly used.
This was a civil case, not a criminal case[1]. In civil cases after the plaintiff has made a prima facie case the burden shifts to the defendant to dismiss the claims against them, if they can, usually at their cost. Lots of people end up with default judgments against them every day because the court systems are terribly difficult to navigate with no legal knowledge. Civil in rem forfeiture is even worse as most jurisdictions allow for the state to take your property with no court involvement at all if you fail to file the right paperwork at the right place at the right time.

[1] I have been in court three different times and seen the wrong defendant brought from the jail to be released since they aren't the person being sought by the indictment, but a case of misidentification by law enforcement. Quite how these people managed to alert the jail authorities to the problem I do not know; having spent significant time in jail I have no idea how you would get any personnel to take seriously the idea that you "aren't supposed to be there."
We just need to be able to satisfy demand on the grid at each point in time. This does not require that any particular generator provide steady power. It's only necessary that the total amount of power being put onto the grid by all sources matches demand.
You made it sound like even for a simple site, JavaScript would be a necessity and we should expect websites to not work well without it. I was actually about to concede that it's OK if JS has eaten the world (see my closing thought)...

> you can still view it through https://nitter.net, which I guess makes the open source Javascript-less front-end to Twitter more accessible for SEO

WHAT? I had no idea. So there is Nitter [1] frontend for Twitter -which is a platform clearly more complicated than HN- and they manage to not only work without JavaScript, but have it as one of their core motivations.

Things get even better, from that project I find about Invidious [2], a frontend for nothing else than YouTube! And again, no JS is not only an option but a highlighted feature.

After these discoveries, my bar for how JS-free we should expect most websites to be has just gone up, not down. Especially those websites consisting on just presenting text and media (i.e. the immense majority)

I agree the war is lost, though. Luckily there will still exist people desiring and making noise for a leaner and faster experience. The problem is bloated frameworks and privacy invasion via JS. Those are essentially my main reasons to want to browse the Web without JS.

"How to do A?"

Comment: "You shouldn't do A, it's better to do B"

Closed, duplicate of "How to do C".

Yeah sure, in the beginning, there were many more basic questions (how to increase number by 1, how to get division remainder, how to check if file exists,...), and if you're coding in Perl, you can still find all the answers... if you're working in python, you'll find answers for python2, some for python3, some specific to python2.6, etc... if you ask again, it'll be closed as a duplicate.

I know it's anecdotal, but after a few bad experiences, people just decide not to use that specific site anymore.
Yeah, but compression is lossy.

The hour long video on a thing that covered most of the bases and edge cases gets cut down into a 30 minute (likely 15 minute) YT video with important information missing.

The 15 min YouTube video turns into two 30 second TikToks that speed run through 70% of what you need to know, sure, but is the 30% they didn't cover (or know about!) actually important? Who knows!

Example: I was cleaning our jacuzzi bath tub the other day. The previous owners had never cleaned it, so black gunk came out of the jets.

A YouTube video (that was actually a TikTok!) suggested unscrewing the jet nozzles (amongst other things), which she demonstrated as a really simple "just unscrew them" sort of deal.

As it happens, not every jet nozzle is meant to be removed! And not every jet nozzle should be removed! Also, it is really hard to get replacement nozzles after you crack one because it was affixed to the housing!
That is a fair question, and in addition I'm unsure that a simple metric like perplexity is likely to pick it up.

However, I do think that if perplexity showed a lower drop-off using this modified softmax under quantization that would be an exciting finding and enough to indicate further experiments would definitely be worth doing.

But you are right - if it doesn't show an improvement it doesn't necessarily rule out that it could be helping.

Edit: In the Qualcomm AI paper mentioned in this post, they experiment on BERT uncased (109B param) and OPT 125M and are able to show the effects using perplexity.

I hadn't read the paper when I suggested the same approach, so I guess that is good validation it is worth trying.

Edit2: Actually they also test on ViT 22M, which would be even quicker to try I think.
> and it is pretty obvious, they are just doing it to get points

Gamifying reputation was one of the worst things we've done. I was part of this in previous positions and after a while it became apparent that it brought out the worst in people. There are better ways of incentivizing usage rather than stupid internet points.
He's lucky he found out about the summons, because it's very common to commit a traffic infraction, get pulled over and then find yourself facedown at gunpoint when the cop finds out you have several warrants for crimes you never committed. And depending on your ethnicity it could certainly lead to your untimely demise by police if you got belligerent about it.

> after all, Firefox is a perfectly viable alternative to Chrome that very few people use

I don't use Firefox because it's slower than Chrome and because their behavior regarding limiting which extensions are available in phones, requiring signed extensions, Firefox Pocket, ads in new tab page, etc, does not exactly give me confidence that Mozilla truly has my interests in mind. In fact I bet they'll implement the nightmare DRM API once it's done swiftly and without complaint lest their money flow suffer.

If Mozilla ever decides to stop screwing around, clearly position themselves as an ally of the consumer, clearly express support for adblockers and put resources into making the browser faster and better and more customizable instead of whatever makes their CEO richer then I'll switch to Firefox even if it is a bit slower or has some flaws.

In the meantime uBlock works right now in Chrome which makes it usable, so since Chrome is the fastest right now, Chrome it is.

I did some non-scientific testing with this last week and, at least for my problem (brute-forcing RC4 keys with relatively small numbers of long-lives threads,) threads and go routines were approximately equal in terms of performance with goroutines very slightly faster (around 5% or so.)

I have another test I'm running with the same workload, but with more dynamically created threads (n keys dispatched to a pool of threads/goroutines until the key space is exhausted) but I haven't finished the threaded version for comparison yet.
> I'd have guessed parking lots and sprawl are more destructive in total and on an ongoing basis than farming

https://ourworldindata.org/land-use

Half of all habitable land is used for agriculture. 80% of that is animal agriculture.

This leaves only 37% for forests; 11% as shrubs and grasslands; 1% as freshwater coverage; and the remaining 1% – a much smaller share than many suspect – is built-up urban area which includes cities, towns, villages, roads and other human infrastructure.

> doesn't necessarily destroy all habitat that'd otherwise be there

Animal ag is enabled by deforestation. 50+% of all pastures are deforested lands. The difference in biodiversity in a forest vs pasture is huge (pasture is a biodesert compared to a functional multi-level old growth forest).

Animal ag is e.g. a leading driver of amazon deforestation, either for pastures or production of feed. 80% of all soy produced world wide is animal feed, same as 35-40% of corn (and biofuels, less than 13% is for humans).

https://ourworldindata.org/drivers-of-deforestation

Notice: this doesn't account for historical deforestation (existing pastures deforested between last 10000 years)

If those pastures were afforested, we could store our entire 1.5C carbon budget in those forests and soils (thus stopping climate change and extinctions / biodiversity loss).
Once secularism changes peoples beliefs, no one is actually in control to decide what they choose to replace it with. They might choose yoga, they might choose astrology, or they might choose qanon. Nietzsche and other philosophers talked about these problems a lot, but most this society failed at the task of living up to what was needed(ie society as a whole guiding peoples and establishing healthy alternatives).
So maybe the study answers it but that is a lot to read through for one answer, but my big question that you did not quote is still.

> I would also really like to see how the dietary enviromental impact relates to a persons entire environmental impact (as in, ok we see a 30% impact change based on dietary impact but how much of a change is that on a personal level really?)

That is information I am struggling to actually find. 30% of one of impacts is a decent amount but I also don't own a car. How much of my entire environmental impact is my diet?

They also seem to be grouping all meat together. Like Beef and Chicken. According to https://ourworldindata.org/environmental-impacts-of-food there is a massive difference between the impact of Chicken vs Beef. I searched that report for chicken (never came up) and Poultry (came up twice). So I am very curious how they are actually coming to these numbers when all of the types of meet vary wildly in their impact.
That still happens today. Gotta have enough filler to publish!

Either your example is too trivial to justify your point, or the point itself is trivial. It's right for an academic to distance themselves from the subject of their study because we do need researchers who try not to be biased. If they fail that and then correct themselves, then what's the problem? Complaining about inconsequential uses of tone is obsessing about form over function and reeks too much of insecurity, to be honest.
