HDTV (ATSC) is a technology that has influenced my life in pretty serious ways. My first tuner was a Sony SAT-HD100[0] in 2001.
Witnessing the transition into digital TV through my VGA port, in retrospect, taught me tons about how technology adoption, development, and standardization actually works in the real world.

I understand that communities evolve, mutate and sometimes divide over time. Online communities are the same, maybe just faster and larger.

The author of the article though feels a bit odd? What exactly is the endgame here? You divided a subreddit and created a new one, that's good for you and your "disciples" I guess...? Like what the hell I've had just read...?
Are you trolling? Minsky, McCarthy, Newell and Simon all went on to win Turing awards for their work, (as later did several other AI luminaries over the decades). And Claude Shannon?

In the mid sixties Minsky and Papert published a paper/book called "Perceptrons" which explored the limit of perceptrons, though it said those limits could be overcome by multilayer networks, if they were ever computationally feasible. And, thanks to Moore's law, they now are.

Almost every one of those attendees is a well known scholar whose work you depend on every day outside AI (as well as within it, though nobody really depends NNs yet). Of them, the least known in computing, Ray Solomonoff, might be the smartest of the bunch, though he was never univerity affiliated as far as I know.
Hold option and click on the “collapse file” button in the Files view of a commit or pull request, and it will collapse all the files.

Select text in a comment, issue, or pull request description and press r—the selected text (including markdown formatting) will get pre-populated as a markdown block quote reply in the next comment box.

Add .patch or .diff to any pull request URL if you want to see a plain-text diff of the pull request (e.g. maybe you want to quickly `curl ... | git apply -` an unmerged pull request into a local copy of the repo without trying to add and fetch the git remote that the pull request is from).

There are lots of keyboard shortcuts. For example, / to jump to the file finder.

Not so much a secret but more like a hiding in plain sight: when looking at a commit GitHub will show you the earliest and latest tag (i.e. release) that includes the commit. For example, this commit[1] first appeared in v3_2_0_preview3.

> Air traffic control systems should at least be 2oo3... Human backup is not possible because of human resourcing and complexity.

But this was a 1oo1 system, and the human backup handled it well enough: a lot of people were inconvenienced, but there were no catastrophes, and (AFAIK) nothing that got close to being one.

As for the benefits of independent development: it might have helped, but the chances of this being so are probably not as much as one would have hoped if one thought programming errors are essentially random defects analogous to, say, weaknesses in a bundle of cables; I had a bit more to say about it here:

> Microsoft won't let them license Windows Phone/Windows Mobile and anyway Microsoft sabotaged that.

Google sabotaged that by refusing to support YouTube on windows mobile and actively blocking Microsoft’s native app. Honestly surprised they didn’t get destroyed by anti-trust laws.

As for licensing, they absolutely offered to license it to vendors, they were all in bed with google already though. That’s why they bought Nokia, realizing the only way it would work was to build their own phones. I wish they had stuck it out longer or RIM hadn’t imploded, we really need a third player IMO.

I doubt MS was even aware of PHP 1.x when they released ASP back in 1996. Hardly anyone else was aware of PHP before 3.x either.

By the time I found it, PHP 3.x/4.x was such an improvement over classic ASP / VBScript, that I think MS would've done a better job if it was positioned to challenge PHP :)

User:

I define a new word, the podition. A podition is any object that can fit on a podium. Is a computer a podition ? Why ?

ChatGPT:

The term "podition" is a newly coined word, and its definition as "any object that can fit on a podium" is quite specific. Whether or not a computer can be considered a "podition" depends on the size and design of the podium in question, as well as the specific characteristics of the computer.

If the podium is large enough and designed to accommodate objects of various sizes, then a computer could potentially be considered a podition if it fits on the podium without exceeding its space or causing any issues. However, if the podium is small or not designed to hold objects like a computer, then it may not qualify as a podition.

In summary, whether a computer is a podition or not depends on the podium's size and design and whether the computer can comfortably fit on it without causing any problems. The term "podition" itself is a new and specific concept, so its application may vary depending on context.

User:

Using common sense definitions of a computer and a podium, is a computer a podition?

ChatGPT:

Using common sense definitions of a computer and a podium, a computer is typically not considered a "podition." A computer is an electronic device used for processing and storing data, while a podium is a raised platform or stand typically used for holding notes, books, or supporting a speaker during a presentation. These two objects serve very different purposes and have distinct characteristics.

A computer is not designed to be placed on a podium, and it would generally be impractical to do so. A podium is meant for supporting objects like papers, books, or notes during a presentation, not electronic devices like computers. Therefore, in common usage and understanding, a computer would not be classified as a "podition."
Alignment of large language models and machine learning is about shaping its behaviors to support the values of its maintainers and discourage behaviors that go against the same values.

Like, you can't get a positive response by asking it to write a phishing letter for you, and it will refuse to divulge information it might know which is considered personally identifiable information.

Unfortunately, the alignment applied since ChatGPTs launch has reduced its efficacy in other ways. While it behaves better, it may be less helpful or less accurate in the older models like 3, and 3.5 with respect to their debut.

While unprecedented can mean unexpected or out of the norm it can also mean never before seen/done. So technically yes every point on the predictable upwards trendline is an unprecedented amount when we reach it in actuality.

Even assuming that HN readers may feel the word is emotive it's pointless to quibble about it when realistically any discussion about the details of climate change are going to be more emotive with such clinically correct terms as "climate refugees", "ocean acidification", "deadly heatwaves", "longest cyclone season", "3rd once in a century storm in the last decade".

I wonder where most of the complexity lies in ATC. Naively you’d think there would be some mega computer needed to solve the puzzle but the UK only sees 6k flights a day and the scale of the problem, like most things in the physical world, is well bounded. That’s about the same number of buses in London, or a tenth of the number of Uber drivers in NYC.

It would be interesting to actually see the code.
> If you worked iPhone support at Apple wouldn't you say more often than not people had iPhone issues? You may have seen a lot of issues specific to Android because it commands more of the market globally.

That's a fair question. In my experience, I choose to type on a mac because it sucks less than the alternative (used to be alternatives but really there's only two choices any more). On the server side linux for the same reason, but it's still, and presumably never, suitable for a lay audience without significant support.

But on the phone side I think apple has moved in recent years to "better" over "less bad". Not incredibly so, but to a significant degree. I tried using a bunch of android (Andy Rubin kept giving me phones to try) and the best of them were adequate -- I would have been satisfied using them had I not had an iphone to go back to.

Frankly though Apple has failed to meet the level of fit-for-function of the Palm Pilot. I don't at all mean it would be worth using these days! But at its time it really had a well honed and tuned experience, a testament to Jeff Hawkins' obsession with convenience and usability. Even before they had working hardware he would carry a piece of wood around and walk through the use cases, insisting that nothing should take more than three button presses to accomplish. The iphone is far from there, and getting farther away all the time.
Currently at a reasonably-priced hotel in the boonies. Extended my stay the other day and they had to re-issue the keys. The keys must be aware of the reservation period, and the locks must be aware of the current wall-clock time. Finding a way to tamper with the RTC in the lock could blow up the whole system. Or, you know, a crowbar.
>For breakfast, you say?

Yes and it's honestly pretty funny that you think this proves otherwise. The error is mine. a computer is not always small enough to fit on a podium. It's not about a "common sense" definition or not. and GPT caught that.

Go ahead and replace computer with any object that is always small enough to fit on a podium.

I worked at a national telecommunications company in sales & service in a store.

It was a manufacturer agnostic telco where the overwhelming majority of phones in store weren't Apple, as naturally the store also had Sony, Samsung, LG, Nokia, Huawei etc. At the time Apple only really had two flagship phones.

Of course you can't take what I say as gospel for many of the reasons you mentioned, but it's my experience.

The Cost of the Golden Gate Bridge (1937) vs. Its Suicide Deterrent Net (2023)
The “value” of college can be measured in many ways: knowledge, problem-solving experience, emotional growth, vocational training and preparation, social growth and network building, credentials, and more.

The cost of college education is still reasonable when community college options are used for at least the first couple of years, regardless of the course of study.

Universities should bolster their cooperative education departments by extending internships and coop job placements for all majors, not just engineering, computers, math and science.

Community colleges could also provide valuable post-graduate job training options for those who major in the humanities/liberal/fine arts and are looking to apply their education in unique ways to job fields that need people the most.

College is important and valuable. Some changes are needed, but the market should drive those changes in a positive direction.

The ATC system handled well enough (i.e. no disasters, and AFAIK, no near misses) something much more complicated than one aircraft showing up with no flight plan: the failure of this particular system put all the flights in that category.

I mentioned elsewhere that any ATC system has to be resilient enough to handle things like in-flight equipment failure, medical emergencies, and the diversion of multiple aircraft on account of bad weather or an incident which shuts down a major airport.

As for why the system "pulled the plug", the author of the article suspects that this particular error was regarded as something that would not occur unless something catastrophic had caused it, whereas, in reality, it affected only one flight and could probably have been easily worked around if the system had informed ATC which flight plan was causing the problem.

The mental gymnastics are beautiful and entertaining.

Google image "podium". Google image "computer". The vast majority of computers shown can be placed on the vast majority of podiums shown.

But again, as the other commenter points out, this is abductive reasoning.

In addition to getting lost in the irrelevant weeds of "these two objects serve very different purposes and have distinct characteristics", ChatGPT also fails to point out that there are 2 common definitions for podium - one made for lecturing, on which you could place most modern computers that aren't 30kg hunks of metal (all of my university lecturers definitely had computers on the podium). And one made for humans, on which you could definitely place any bulky desktop computer short of a mainframe.

What this really shows though is that LLM output is a mirror in which people will read mostly what they want to read which matches their narrative.

The majority of those applications and devices are already stuck on 0.9.x anyway, so it's not like it makes that much of a difference. It doesn't seem like that big of a deal to me.

The majority of "shitty IOT devices" only make outgoing TLS connections to relatively trusted external servers (i.e. the company's server), and it's hard enough to MITM connections at scale that you're probably fine. Just don't let a malicious stranger on your wifi.

Adding to that, it's also pretty hard to develop real exploits for the supposed RCE CVEs that you see. Like, most of them are "there's a buffer overrun, this is probably RCE", but most of the time it's actually "no, for all real builds of openssl, this is a crash and that is it".
