No, not really.

The C64 hooked to a TV, "everyone" had a TV, and there was an RF modulator in the box.

RPi's don't connect to smartphones out of the box. There's not even an operating system installed. Or a case.

To use an RPi, you have to already be in to using an RPi. If someone just hands you one, there's nothing you can do with it without a bunch more work. Not even:

10 PRINT "FART"

And then the wedding speech. What are they thinking over there at OpenAI? This is supposed to be a productivity enhancer, not a way to outsource the most meaningful applications of human language…
Computers understanding and responding in human language is the most exciting software innovation since the invention of the GUI.

Just as the GUI made computer software available to billions LLMs will be the next revolution.

I'm just as excited as you! The only downside is that it now make me feel bad that I'm not doing anything with it yet.

And how much has the percentage of adults in the USA who are over 50 increased in that period?
I switched to Claude, it's better at explaining stuff in a more direct manner without the always-excited way of talking. Is that an engagement trick? Maybe ChatGPT is intended to be more of a chatbot that you can share your thoughts with.
Being a bartender isn’t something to look down upon, the fact that you mention this, shows your true colors.

The funny thing is that I live in Europe and we work far less hours, have trice the PTO and don’t even know that “sick days” are (if you’re sick you stay home). We have universal healthcare, affordable education and I could go on.

I could tell you about the very stringent worker protections so employers can’t just fire people on a whim. And, so on.

And yet.

If you Google “labor productivity by country” my country is ‘very close’ to the USA.

Just to say: your core beliefs are false, just Ayn Rand fan fiction.
But if you want, you can become a better, kinder, more humane person if you want. It might make you happy one day.
It really depends what you're trying to solve for. UV light will kill bacteria but sometimes the dead bacteria can be more toxic than the live ones. Same goes with boiling. Is it better than untreated water? Yes, of course it is but is that what we're comparing against?

You need water in an emergency and your only option is an non potable source therefore I have a UV light bottle for just such an emergency. If this is your use case I'd say get life straws. They'll work better and you don't have to worry about toxicity from bacterial death. Wherever you're going that you have the option of carrying a UV light source for water treatment you'll have better options you can carry to treat water.

In my opinion these bottles are sold to be trendy and have that's shown by the marketing. You'd never want to rely on this for treating non potable water. It seems more about people too lazy to wash their reusable water bottle every few days and thus killing off the bacteria that starts to grow inside that gets transferred from your mouth. Gross thought, but just wash the bottle.
Not sure why you're downvoted because I have worked with a bunch of these people and their enthusiasm for doing anything other than going home at the end of the day always astounds me
It already replaced search engines. So much easier to write the question and explore the answers until it is solved.
Adequate food and water and shelter is available to everyone. We spend billions on it every year. People choose not to access it either due to mental illness, drug/alcohol addiction, or some other antisocial or personal reason. And although there’s help for those issues I’d agree more could be done, especially for the vast numbers of mentally ill that walk amongst us.

We do have a safety net though. You are advocating for a hammock.
From a data protection/privacy standpoint, it's not shade of grey, it's all black.

From convenience perspective, it saves me LOADS of time texting myself on Signal on my specs/design-rabbit-hole, then copying & pasting to Firefox, and getting into the discussion. So yeah, happy for this.
£1.3bn a year a year is not a token amount.
You have 14 days to send it back for a full refund and most Apple products come with a 1 year hardware warranty. Something isn't adding up.

That's the idea, the "American Dream" - you roll up your sleeves, spit in your hands and go to work - get busy and rich.

Alas, that's not been the case for a long time. Please look at the data.

I can't imagine it'd be much fun if their team mates are there against their will though.
Indeed. This coupled to the fact that female fertility is easier when younger (easier to become pregnant, fewer complications, better physical shape, not menopaused, etc.), is IMHO the number one factor in a lot of male/female statistical discrepancies.

My wife studied law, and we saw every single one of her female friends abandon or pause a successful career in order to have children. Just like academia, careers in law often tend to invade nights and weekends; and that's just not compatible with having children.
>In the end it's more a financial thing IMO. When you just entered a 10 or 15 year lease right before Covid hit, you're now stuck with paying 7 years for an office you're not even using - that's objectively bad for any company's financials

That's the definition of the "sunk cost fallacy".

"Hey, I commited to paying for something I don't need. I better force and inconvenience myself to use it then, despite this not having ANY difference in my having to pay the amount anyway".
It's quite possible they are charging near or below cost because they want your data....

Imagine how much they would have to pay for testers at scale?
In my experience, 10x employees don't collaborate much with others because they're playing in a different league. You can turn that into an a priori argument, that by definition being exceptional implies riding solo. So WFH will look more tempting.
Talking to Google and Siri has been positively frustrating this year. On long solo drives, I just want to have a conversation to learn about random things. I've been itching to "talk" to chatGPT and learn more (french | music theory | history | math | whatever) all summer. This should hit the spot!
Probaby with Microsoft's money injection they're trying to raze the market and afterwards hike prices.
He's talking about humiliation from dragging Microsoft's and Bill Gates personal brands in the dirt, not actual penalty adjudicated.

Basically if we had videos of Pichai stuttering and unsuccessfully trying to weasel out of sharp questions in every news report for a couple of weeks that would perhaps open more eyes and hurt Google more than a fine of so many zeroes.

Florida Man...
Are there any good freely available multi-modal models?
There are all sorts of generational stereotyping and critiquing that go on, but what does it only become "discrimination" when the bad age-related effects of Boomers are pointed out? You never hear this overly cautious "don't discriminate!" Warning when Zoomers are critiqued.

Similarly, age-based discrimination is illegal in the workplace, but only against older people. It is perfectly legal to discriminate based on age against younger people! This, despite younger people having less power and getting paid less on a group level.

Very odd how all this concern only flows one way...
So almost human then :-)
That title is pure rubbish! I can’t believe the person that wrote that read it out loud or even in their head. You should always ready the title aloud.
While some engineers definitely get compensated in stock more, is it really the majority of engineers? I feel like it’s over represented because we’re in HN but the vast majority of software engineers in this world don’t get stock at all, it’s just mostly base salary

Of course it uses more energy, you have to recycle it instead of just form it. I thought the goal was to reduce waste and pollution
Partially related question:

There was an article about the implementation of supervisors and you can’t use the “let is crash philosophy” in the whole erlang/beam stack but there is a small (loc) implementation in C which has to be proven safely in order for the “let it crash philosophy” to work.

I don’t know if this was the definition and implementation of a supervisor itself or a process itself.

Does anybody know what I mean and which article I am referring to? If so, I would be glad if you could post a link to the article
We don't live in the 1970s any more.

Divorce is legal.
It's probably just subjective bias, once the novelty wears off you learn not to rely on it as much because sometimes it's very difficult to get what you specifically want, so in my personal experience I ended up using it less and less to avoid butting heads with it, to the point I disabled my subscription altogether. YMMV of course.
Some people also like ice cream, and ice cream sales are correlated with forest fires, so we should probably force people to stop consuming ice cream if we want to keep our forests
Compute is not cheap! I think it is well known (Altman himself has said this) that openAI is burning a lot of money currently, but they are fine for now considering the 10B investment from MSFT and the revenue from subscription and API. It's a critical moment for AI companies and openAI is trying to get as large a share of the market as they can by undercutting virtually any other commercial model and offering 10x the value.
Hell of a way to do customer service.

What was the value they offered you when you took up using their service, and how does that rate now? Wouldn't it have been better to have had an alternative? Assuming you get this issue fixed, are you going to be re-evaluating how reliant you are on this one service for the future?
Considering how some of the best devs are introverts, it could be an inverse correlation in the CS field.
I see you still have nothing so you've resorted to attacking my character instead.
I actually think that what is sad is that it seems as if having viable future as a creative visual artist is likely done. This was a major, major, major outlet and sanctuary for certain types of people to find meaning and fulfillment in their life which is now in the process of being wiped out for a quick buck.

We'll be told by OpenAI and friends is that it shouldn't be a problem, because those were mundane tasks and now, people are free up to do more creative / interesting / meaningful things with their time, let's see about that...

My gut feeling is that it's bad, the only thing I hope can save it all is that people actually don't find meaning in consuming AI generated art and actual artists with a real back story and something real to communicate remain relevant and in demand.

The other day I needed a photo for a website I was working on and I actually purchased a real capture from a local photographer to use because the the authenticity means something to me and the customers...

Edit: Is the plan that we just surrender our aspirations and just buy a subscription to ChatWHATEVER and just consume until the end of human history ?
It was FAN while it lasted! /giggles
In retrospect, such startups should have been wary: they should have known that OpenAI had Whisper, and also that GPT-4 was designed with image modality. I wouldn't say that OpenAI "telegraphed" their intentions, but the very first strategic question should have been, "Why isn't OpenAI doing this already, and what do we do if they decide to start?"
SERIAL/SEQUENCE/IDENTITY increment immediately, not at commit. They’re just reading from a generator. You can also get the current key from it if you’d like.

Advisory locks also exist, if you want to implement logic in the application to inform you of various row conditions without having the DB care about it.

But for the example given, you could do many things:

* Add some boolean columns for ack and complete. Performance due to cardinality of these will eventually start to suck if they’re being indexed, but by that point (millions of rows) you can have thought of another solution.

* Add ctime and atime columns, each of which can be handled by Postgres natively to update when created / written, respectively. This has the advantage of lending itself nicely to partitioning by date range, if that becomes necessary.

* Have three tables - available, in_progress, and completed. Use triggers or application logic to move entries in an atomic manner.

None of this is necessarily normalized, but if you’re receiving JSON payloads for

Have they alluded to what they're using for that voice? It's Bark/ElevenLabs levels of good. Please god, let them release this voice model at current pricing....
I was always the hardest worker in my class, but never found a job because companies said I would want to be paid too much, meanwhile I told them my salary requirements were zero because I was homeless. Was that satire?
When was the last time you used it? They just had a UI change here recently and it's better than the original. It's cheaper for personal and family accounts compared to 1password. I've been a paying customer of Bitwarden for a long time now and have never experienced any of these issues.

FYI, 1password has taken almost 1 billion dollars in vc investment. They have an obscene amount of pressure to grow.
You could just opt for the regular Docker for Windows approach, instead. Although I honestly only ran Docker in WSL on Windows, but haven't tried with Windows 11.
who would have thought that few years ago, just goes to show that a Giant like Google is also susceptible when they stop innovating. The real battle is going to be fought between these two as Google's business is majorly dependent on search ads.
I also don't believe LLMs are "conscious", but I also don't know what that means, and I have yet to see a definition of "statistically guessing next word" that cannot be applied to what a human brain does to generate the next word.
Wow, this is a take on gun control I don't think I've ever seen:

"Lack of gun control is preventing the state from forcibly redistributing the wealth of middle class families." (And this is bad).

NRA, eat your hearts out, I guess.
Thankfully, progress rests on the shoulders of people doing crazy things, ignoring the nagging voices of those unable to create just for the fun of it.
If you're a Windows user, running Docker in WSL _is_ running it in Linux.
Even 20 years ago coworkers were AIMing the person 2 cubicles over from them. It may not be for everyone, but remote messaging has been useful long before Covid.

Do we know any projects that are capable of exporting AI conversations from other sources (Claude, Poe, Phind etc..) ?
I was planing to start a personal project that will get the data from all these conversations (as HTML) and then build a static site that will index them (so I can search) and also tag the conversations (source, main idea etc.).
The idea is that not all AI are created equal and sometimes asking the same question to multiple AI engines will generate different answers. When one answer seems better I continue the conversation there (with that particular engine). This is how you get info spread all over the place and if you want to revisit a previous discussion ... now you have to remember all the details so you can find it.
That's not how it works. The investment is an asset on the balance sheet, it is very unlikely to reduce taxable profits. I don't know the US corporation tax situation much, but if it's anything like the UK then you couldn't use that to offset profits for the year. You could if the investment failed, but then you've lost a lot more money than the tax saving (as you've lost the entire $4bn investment).

You might be right that Anthropic could then spend that money back with AWS, but that would again be subject to tax on any profits it generates for AWS. Also, if they spent (say) $2bn of the money with AWS but had nothing to show for it, when Anthropic raises again you'd expect the valuation to decrease substantially.

I very much doubt it is a tax saving mechanism, nor do I think it is a particularly good way to juice sales (compared to spending say $4bn on marketing, or discounts, or whatever).
>Perhaps they like being in an office with their team mates

Maybe find some of those people that like it so much, and go to a coworking space together then? I'm pretty sure the company would be OK to reimburse.

No need to burden the company with renting an entire office for everybody, or force it onto others, when just some of you need a shared office.

Bonus: each subset of colleagues can find co-working spaces in areas that conveniences them, instead of a single forced upon everybody company-wide office location.
Lets see what we can use ChatGPT , DALLE-3 to replace:

Digital Artists, Illustrators, Writers, Novelists, News anchors, Copywriters, Translators, Programmers (Less of them), etc.

We'll have to wait a bit until it can solve the P vs NP problem or other unsolved mathematical problems unsupervised with a transparent proof which mathematicians can rigorously check themselves.
I used to do this until I realized that my wife and I could get away with just using a single Bitwarden account.

I struggled to get netmaker to work. Everything showed connected and green, yet nodes couldn’t ping each other. There is very little troubleshooting guides and I was stuck. The documentation is randomly outdated (I don’t think there is a single screenshot that matches the UI I was seeing) and the only tip I found on the website was to change the MTU which did nothing for me. The other tip on GitHub was “check your firewall” which I’m not sure what that means. I thought the entire point of netmaker was to bypass that.

Oh and I tried to signup for the cloud offering instead of self hosting it, and got a generic “Tenant failed setup” email. Again, no action to take…

I got headscale and Netbird to work, but I much preferred the latter. It just works.

Edit: to add, the default installer results in 2 broken containers in the generated docker compose file (coredns and TURN server) that I had to fix manually by changing their tags.
If our national security depends on Google, then we're all going to end up on killedbygoogle.com
It rather created new hybrid search engines, like perplexity and phind.
It's funny how "very overinflated prices are going just slighly less overinflated" is a catastrophy... Less renters? Lower the price. Many people would like to live in <popular city>, but not at the over inflated pre-covid prices. Commercial realestate? Louis Rossmann has a whole series of videos on youtube about the overinflated mess in NYC. Less traffic jams? How is that bad? Utilities are paid by (water, power,...) usage, and upgrades will be done where there is usage, even "at homes". Car insurances with less distance per year will also pay out less damages, since less distance == less crashes.

To make this feasible (meaning that the TB of data and the huge computing effort is somewhere else, and I only have the mic (smartphone), we need our local agent to send multiple irrelevant queries to the mothership, to hide our true purpose.

Example: my favourite team is X. So if I want to keep it a secret, when I ask for the history of championships of X, I will ask for X. My local agent should ask for 100 teams, get all the data, and then report back for only X. Eventually the mothership will figure out what we like (a large wenn diagram). But this is not in anyone's interest, and thus will not happen.

Also, like this the local agent will be able to learn and remember us, at a cost.
The reason they use such light, poor contrast colors is that the map is used as a background for things like business ads, the blue navigation line, etc. Yes in the process, it becomes useless as an actual map for looking at.

Honestly if I were in my 20s and wanted to grind like this, these would be perfect. I wouldn't sleep that much, anyway (because of the grind), and when I wasn't sleeping or working, I probably wouldn't be "home".

Plus, if this guy's startup moons, he has an awesome "story" about how he slept in a coffin to chase that hustle.
Very cool. I’d been thinking about building something like this. Do you look at it every day? Seems really useful.

Good that they say 'associated' because causality is non-trivial to establish, at least given the current state of math frameworks.
Why would an investment ever be "returned"?

Because of its investment, FTX owns shares in Anthropic. In bankruptcy, those shares will be sold in some form to new investors in exchange for cash, at whatever the current value is. Just like any other asset.

In theory, I suppose that new investor could be Anthropic itself doing a stock buyback, but that would be extremely unusual. Buybacks are for mature companies with excess cash, not growing startups.
I prefer 3+ monitors
