This is not valid logic. If they are reasoning, tests like GPs might show it. Failing the test, however, can have many other causes: They can just not be good enough at reasoning, or they might be failing because they see tokens and have had too little training to connect that to both the spelling in sounds in a way that generalize.

I'd be willing to bet a whole lot of humans would fail that test too, because a lot of people are really bad at applying a rule without practicing on examples first, and so often struggle to take feedback without examples. If they did, would you claim they can't reason?

Your claim to know that LLMs are not is not based in fact, but speculation that too me is itself not based in reasoning. Should I question your ability to reason because I don't think you've done so in this argument?
That shouldn't take that much CPU tbh, but if it does, it sounds like they have some optimization to do.

I wonder if it's like DRM in video games, causing a lot of overhead.
No, I don't subscribe Mother Teresa's unfortunate philosophy. I'm pointing out that Objectivists going "Oooh Bill Gates gave away $100M, what a wonderful guy" should be smacked good and hard with a copy of Atlas Shrugged. Giving $100M was trivial for him to do.

I love the math/stats history around gambling-related things, thanks for mentioning this. This method assumes the flipper can't introduce bias. ET Jaynes in his book Probability Theory also mentions that it is easy to learn to flip a fair coin in such a way that the result can be predetermined. I searched a tiny bit for this but couldn't find what he was referring to though.

> T&C back in 2019 when they promised to never change it retroactively again.

it's not about changing it, it's about including a clause in the T&C that the version they signed is the version in perpetuity for their version of software (obviously, an upgraded version may have the T&C changed).

Unreal has this clause iirc, but not in unity.
Why do you think this is puzzling? This bias has been analytically and dynamically predicted for years.

I wrote something like this to generate ruling sheets for calligraphy at http://calligraffiti.in/rulings.

I had to learn a little about PDF generation to write and this and that translated into a project which gave me enough money to keep me afloat during an especially dry period during covid.

Let me introduce you to the original purpose of Berliner Kleingärten.

Plus there are tons of vacant lots, parking lots etc in Berlin.

I’ve lived in Schöneweide for many years and let me tell ya.

Tegel alone could host half a million people and we haven’t even touched the Tempelhofer Feld.

Berlin has no suburbs to speak of. I guess you have never been to any other city in the world if you think that the suburbs are full.

Guess what: you can run more trains, bigger trains, higher frequencies, and you can build new tracks and new tunnels.

Oh, and last: Before you “force companies to move to smaller cities” think about two things:

- Why do many companies prefer to move to big cities?

- Why do many people prefer to live in big cities?
I once had to meet in person in with someone and they chose a town in France near our common objective. The town happened to be sitting across a departement line and had two town halls, each of which oversaw half of the town. Guess where we were supposed to meet in a time before cell phones.

the point is that discarding lumps of metal in space is not wasteful, since it would require much more material brought into orbit to make them useful than to replace them if discarded.

You don't have to be a YC member, but I'd go so far as saying HN is startup-hostile nowadays. Remember the indie hacker making $45k a month recently getting torn down for his work?
Pretty much this. Whilst I've never earned more than 20k a month I've a couple of friends who do. And they're fairly miserable despite the money. Same with my friends who earn far less than me or even nothing. It's just a different kind of miserable.

I much prefer what I do now. A job that is sometimes stressful, that I even outright hate on rare occasions, but that is on average fulfilling and fun and lets me go to bed with a clear conscience. All while I still have enough free time and left over money to actually spend the money I earn on things I enjoy.

Now if someone gave me a choice between earning 20k a month or earning nothing a month, I'd still chose the former. I'd rather struggle with the mental issues and stress that come along with it than living in constant fear how I'd pay for my next meal...

But Ideally I'll have built up enough savings to retire early at some point and live off of the interest generated. Best of both worlds.
It's not really "bad design", it's an intentional tradeoff.

I don't think the "hype" is built on test scores.

It is built on the observation how fast AI is getting better. If the speed of improvement stays anywhere near the level it was the last two years, then over the next two decades, it will lead to massive changes in how we work and which skills are valuable.

Just two years ago, I was mesmerized by GPT-3's ability to understand concepts:

https://twitter.com/marekgibney/status/1403414210642649092

Nowadays, using it daily in a productive fashion feels completely normal.

Yesterday, I was annoyed with how cumbersome it is to play long mp3s on my iPad. I asked GPT-4 something like "Write an html page which lets me select an mp3, play it via play/pause buttons and offers me a field to enter a time to jump to". And the result was usable out of the box and is my default mp3 player now.

Two years ago it didn't even dawn on me that this would be my way of writing software in the near future. I have been coding for over 20 years. But for little tools like this, it is faster to ask ChatGPT now.

It's hard to imagine where we will be in 20 years.
That's amazing, but I guess it won't help when the person can choose the bias?

Because according to the study the person can choose the bias by choosing which side start up.

So if the person wants tails based on what you've said, they should always

1. Do the first throw starting tails up.

2. If the first one is tails, then they now want to start second one heads up.

3. If the first one is heads, they will want to try and get heads again to dismiss the results. So they will do heads up.

So assuming for example that they have an ability to control bias 75% vs 25%.

Then there would be 75% chance of getting first as tails. After that 75% chance of getting heads.

So they will have 56.25% chance of getting it right the first 2 rounds.

The worst case for them would be if they get heads first (25% chance), and then are unable to get heads again. Which would be another 25% chance so 6.25% odds to lose with the first round.

So 56.25% chance of winning the first round of 2, or 6.25% losing and 37.5% of having to try again.

And I think the odds would converge at somewhere around 90% to 10%. I didn't do full calculations here, but overall it seems this strategy would increase the bias even more.
Thanks for the pointer. I looked for that quote for a while and couldn't find it. Go figure that it would be on a page I literally linked from the post.

Now that I have it, I'm going to edit the post to make it less misremembered.
But then there is no new increased theft problem, there is a bad store or a store in a bad area (which other commenters have said both are the case here). The criticism is exactly that they tried to make business as usual look like some new general problem they suddenly have that they didn't have yesterday.
Sure. You can pass a law that only New Yorkers are allowed to live in New York.

Is it passed on by birth right?

I guess that’s the city of liberty for you then.
The only way that statement is true is if you believe the entire success of the tech industry is the code.

Nothing else.

Not the other parts of a functioning business - marketing, client relations, public relation, finance, business strategy, etc.

That’s a pretty absurd assumption.

And think of it this way. Google revenue is $1.5M per employee. Profit is 24%.

That’s $360k of profit per employee (yeah I know costs include employee wages, but bear with me).

Seems like ultra-elite-10x coders who make $400k+ are skimming a pretty respectable chunk of the returns, no?

The question is $20k per month in revenue. Not profit.

You could be running a business that is $20k in revenue and $18k in costs, profit is $2k
Indeed.

In the housing game, you buy land and build a house. Excluding inflation, the value of the land goes up. The value of the house goes down.

Even with regular (eg cost) maintenance, a 25 year old house is never worth what a new house is.

New building methods (just improvements in insulation alone), and things like the interior... kitchen cabinets, flooring, bathroom, means that trying to dight this is not cheap.

And even if you do? The house is still worth less than a new built.

Houses are as cars. Massive devaluation year over year.

Most don't get this, because they don't factor in inflation, nor do they factor in the cost of keeping a house maintained.

So land, land, land is the cost, which is much of what your post eludes to.

Interestint, my intuition was inverse to the result: landing on the opposite side takes an odd number of flips and on the same side it would be an even number of flips.

Since for every number of flips either the number of odds is the same as the number of evens, or higher by 1, the chances of getting an odd number of flips is higher. There seems to be more at work here, and only testing validates a model!

"If RealPage has caused a rise in prices, it's because it showed old assumptions are wrong."

Your assumption that RealPage (and other software) -powered market is a market is wrong. Its a near monopoly and thus the price is excessive. Everybody has to live somewhere, if you double the rent of (nearly) all flats, everybody will still be willing to pay that doubled price.

To simplify it: altough there are many landlords, they arent each others competitors thanks to RealPage. They are collectively one big landlord holding the city hostage.

When ZFS Was Young
Did we read the same Reddit thread? Most of the respondents making good money didn’t seem to be knowledge workers, but ordinary small business owners.

I don’t envy anyone running a small HVAC installation company or whatever. The work is boring, the paperwork mindnumbing, the hours often grueling. When one of your three employees gets sick or goes on a drinking binge, you’re the one who has to figure it out.

If I had to choose, I’d rather work as a librarian even for 0.1x the salary. But of course we’re very lucky that there are so many interesting and well-paid knowledge jobs today.
> Tech, as usual, is very happy to feed the hype

I agree completely with you on this.

In defence of the executives however is that some businesses will be seriously affected. Call centres and plagiarism scanner have already been affected, but it’s unclear which industries will be affected too. Maybe the probability is low, but the impact could be very high. In think this reasoning is driving the executives.

People mention survivorship bias because 20K/mo isn't doable in some situations. 20k/ is 240K/yr. That isn't peanuts in the vast majority of the US. I'm a programmer and I make multiples of whole families in my area and I can't see making 240K/yr without extreme amounts of stress and deciding to dedicate my life to work (which I won't do), for my tradesmen family members, I have no idea how they'd do it without running a business with several employees which everyone can't do. If you live outside of the super high cost of living places in the US, anyone you see making 240K definitely had some luck involved. It's right to call that out so that when people fail they know that it wasn't that they sucked, but that the stars didn't align for them in this situation. The odds are probably better than playing the lotto, but depending on your life situation, the chances might not be much better.
You sure?

What I want to do is sandbox my accounts, specifically my work account. Here's a sceneario

I click a link in slack, I want the link to open in the work container.

How do I do this?

Because using containers, It will default open in the default container, i then have to right click the tab, and say "open in work container" .. which then opens that tab again, in the Work Container.

What I want is to not have to do that extra work. Click link -> Work Container.

You can't, at least, not default... you need to add extra plugins, like Multi-Account containers or whatever the plugin is called. That's a LOT of work for the average user. Compared to profiles where when you click the link, it opens in the last active window, which remembering windows are profiles, will be most likely the right profile. So if im working constantly on my work profile window, i click slack, and then click a link, its right back where i want.

The problem with container tabs, is that its tabs, not windows. So is there any way i can say to firefox "this new window is WORK Containers please"
(Hi, author of the post here) `grey` is no accepted value for `color-scheme`, so that would make no sense.

Note that `light-dark()` is not the end station here, it’s a step towards a future function that (1) would be able to respond to any value for `color-scheme` and (2) can return any type of value.
You can solve this easily by always flipping with the same side (doesn’t matter which) facing up for all flips.

Can anyone explain the use of ptrdiff_t instead of size_t (he has typedef'd "size" for ptrdiff_t) The macros are wrapping _Alignof and sizeof both which can't return non-zero numbers I thought.
I don't have real numbers for anything, but I tend to do analysis like the above quite often when evaluating business models. It's usually within a factor of 2x to 10x of being correct, so please don't take it as anything more than that:

A typical round weighs around 40 kilos or 100lbs. For reference, from a quick web search, as commodities:

- 100lbs of TNT would be around $500

- 100lbs of stainless steel is around $250

I'm not sure what materials go in (I'd assume better explosives and worse steel), but I think $250-$500 is a good estimate for price of raw commodities (not including anything beyond that).

I would at least double that for having those shaped into an artillery shell, and add the cost of non-commodities (like a detonator), and you're easily at $1000. I would at least double that for the raw cost of distribution, sales, shipping, and logistics, and other overhead. We're probably at $2000.

At that point, toss in 30% profit margin for everyone along the way (30% to manufacturer, 30% to distributor, etc.). You're probably now around $3500.

I think that's a bare minimum baseline for what it would take to get a very, very dumb shell. This goes up if you want:

- Anything at all fancy or high-tech

- War profits

- NREs covered (building a factory, which might be idle 95% of the time and spin up for wartime)

- Military inefficiencies

- Regulatory compliance, quality inspection, etc.

Etc.

You can hit $5k very easily.
