I find it really funny how people refer to pressing two keys at the same time as "shortcuts". I never understood that. "Ctrl-C" isn't a "shortcut for copy" any more than pressing "C" is a "shortcut for typing the letter C".

I guess what you don't like is (excessive) key combos or "chords".

I've been using a 65% keyboard for a few years now and I don't miss the function keys one bit, but I do occasionally miss the arrow keys. A lot of UIs are built with the assumption that the arrow keys actually exist and aren't just "arrow commands" that might be bound to other key combos. It's just awkward then if they want you to press "Shift-Left", for example, which is I guess what you call "shortcuts in shortcuts".
Not morals. Pure logic.
> with modern knowledge we believe it would not have been possible to make them by hand

This presumes that knowledge can't be lost but we have plenty of evidence that it can be lost and that historical inventions (such as the potters wheel, one of the oldest practical machines) have been made in more than one place.

I don't think elitism is as much a factor as the lack of rigor underlying the analysis, not the fact finding itself. It's perfectly possible to do a whole bunch of materials science and yield some new facts but putting those facts into perspective and getting to the right conclusions is another matter entirely. Most of that 'conspiracy theorist' stuff tends to be 'this was my preferred conclusion and here is the data that supports that conclusion' whilst leaving out everything that contradicts that conclusions (and this is unscientific and may well be why mainstream science doesn't pick up on the ideas, they don't satisfy some of the already known constraints).
We do know how the vast majority of these artifacts were made, though. Most of the people "just asking questions" are ignorant of craftsmanship and historical achievements, whereas the 'academics' are not.

Quartz and diorite are harder than granite. Quartz sand abrasion, hand drills utilizing quartz, diorite smoothing tools and melting with hot coals are all techniques recorded by the Egyptians, and have been reperformed by scientists and engineers with similar results.

UnchartedX is run by absolute whackjobs who believe an ancient super civilization, despite no iron, no lithium, no artifacts indicating use of electricity, milled these hand crafts with computer guided drills. It's even dumber than ancient aliens, because at least aliens could take the evidence of their existence with them.

I partly disagree because not all truth is subjective, but rather, objectively true.

Maybe you should try carving granite by hand, I assure you its entirely possible.
So the conclusion is there is no general conclusion because the response varies drastically across individuals, is that right?
Extremely responsive interface on Firefox and Chromium. How do you achieve that? Well done.
I've been dreaming of coming up a kind of 'ultimate' design by generating an expandable factory blueprint based on a set of guaranteed resource inputs, ensuring 100% utilisation of every machine and making output (rockets) at a predictable rate. Such a design would be complicated by speed/productivity upgrades that you get as you progress.
What’s the idea with the bacteria emoji?
I mean, these Z80 cards used the host computer as IO. Instead of emulating a CPU on the raspi, one could run native raspi code and use the host computer for IO... basically make the ancient host computer a graphics and sound card for a modern CPU.
Yes, this is what I was talking about. Debating which function should include an "if" condition seems rather immaterial to me.
Surely you are joking? Your version is four times longer and repeats a large section of itself.

The way to avoid control flow here is to simply find the rainbow first, take the sequence up until then, filter by yellow, and thingify the remaining things.

rainbow_idx = next(i for i, t in enumerate(things) if t.is_rbow())
yellows = (t for t in things[:rainbow_idx] if t.is_ylw())
for t in yellows:
t.thngry()

Excuse formatting, cellphone.

Not sure this is any better than the obvious solution either.
What we think of as bread in the UK is different though - vast majority of bread sold in the UK is made with the Chorleywood method[1]

Mostly as a result of high quality wheat depending on imports vs the varieties we grew at the time.

As drawing discoveries are hardly a thing, I see no ambiguity here.
> The only reasonable thing would be having exotic architectures around to ensure the kernel is as portable as possible and doesn't make any weird assumptions.

Some of these "weird assumptions" are necessary or useful for either performance or maintainability reasons. Having special cases for exotic architectures makes the kernel harder to change, and makes it harder to refactor it to user better code and data structures. That's, for instance, the reason support for the original Intel 386 was removed. Yes, this makes the kernel less portable, but that's a tradeoff.

Agree that training without permission and compensation is wrong. My argument is more that this tool is a net good. If suppose in the future, Someone releases a similar model trained on purely licensed data (Eg: Like Meta did with their Cm3leon model[0]), my arguments still stand that it gives people more choice and allows them to express more.

Can you give an example of a unique insight or emotion? A lot of the classic books I read, the greatest films of all time, and the most celebrated visual artists are unique mostly in style or execution, but all express the same basic universal human truths.
No, I did understand the point the author was making. I just think it's a weak one.

> there was some stated reason at all, that terrorism is political (and usually not driven by like a supra political cosmological hate).

Bin Laden clearly displays homophobia and antisemitism as main justifications for his terrorism in this letter. He clearly hated the freedoms allowed to individuals in liberal democracies and claimed they were the causes of their alleged degeneracy. It was rooted in ignorance and religious fundamentalism.

So I don't really know what other justifications you have found in this letter that would make you think Bin Laden had "reasons" to do what he did beyond this, he wasn't fighting for his people first, he was a religious fundamentalist, if that's not "supra political cosmological hate", what is it?

Also, if people were learning this from this viral campaign it would be good... unfortunately it seems that they are more focused on the antisemitism part in it as it relates to the current Israelo-palestinian conflict. That is why it became viral right now, context matters, and it's really not looking like a "learning" opportunity if you check the comment sections where this is shared.
A good question. Let's frame that a little bit: can you still trash SSDs quickly if you do heavy R/W DB-stuff etc.?
amazing to see people without a shadow of irony saying that if openai can't make prompts hidden it will reduce innovation. How can someone believe that sort of thing? it's like the exact opposite of what is obviously true (if everyone can see how the best thing is made, people will tweak on the best thing and find further improvements)

Older man made structures. Plenty of older structures exist and it doesn't prove much of anything, that older man made structures exist is always a possibility and even today there may well be older structures still hidden. But the argument that something hasn't been found yet is a weak one anyway and the local conditions vary enough that that alone might be sufficient explanation. Being buried underground versus sitting exposed in the desert could well explain why most if not all but less than a handful of older structures have disappeared.
Yup. In fact, veratasium just released a video discussing this a decent bit in the video linked below...

Those ridiculous fringe theories is how science has marched forward for centuries. Unfortunately, it seems we're losing our capacity for it as a species.
The original quote is about war and combat where it does make perfect sense.
Humans adapt within boundaries.

A couple of examples of things humans did not adapt to:

- emphathy at distance; nowadays, a drone operator will push a button, kill a dozen people, and feel like it was a videogame

- prioritizing long-term and abstract rewards, over short term ones; this is the reason why we have phenomenons like global warming

- adjusting hunger to virtually unlimited availability of food

All the above are concrete and very serious problems for humanity.
Even the headline itself is rather gaslighting. Those of us who have kept up with the progress in the GMO agriculture field have been stumbling on reports like this for over 2 decades. The lower spermcount, lower testosterone and lower fertility were in fact noticed in science beginning in the 1950s, but since then we have found its even worst than simply "GMOs", rather these are effects of numerous endocrine disrupting chemicals which we are exposed to from purified tap water, and contact with BPT(?) containing plastic, which is just recently beginning a slow phase-out process that will take years. GMOs mostly only exist due to patent law, which is used as a monopoly instrument, by denaturing the plant genes synthetically, it becomes non natural, patentable product. So to keep bugs off, they are embedding genes of ...insects into plant? Wait... Seem a bit fishy, wonder why they would do something so absurd? Lastly, if plants become products after gene therapy, it raises an important bioethical question regarding the billions of ppl who received gene therapies the last 3 years. Could that be related to the Human Genome Project? Are you a human or a product? Thought for food.

I think the main link of this post should be the homepage and not the generated report, I was very confused at what I was looking at.

I understand the value proposition of this but I can't get past the feeling of "this is just more auto-generated garbage". I am aware that a lot of online outlets do pretty much the same - they summarize a press release and make it their own, adding some images - and this tool is automating that process.

I just can't see myself ever reading an article like this, especially cause it's obvious to me that it's AI generated (paragraphs starting with "Moreover," , "In Summary,").
I'm a sample size of 1 though, and many other people might still read articles like this.

Another doubt I have is in regards to Google - do they like this kind of content? From what I understand they're not against AI but it has to provide valuable information. This seems to regurgitate existing information without extra commentary, so is this even helping SEO?

Apologies if this comes across as negative, I appreciate the work involved, just trying to give some honest feedback.
Its not self expression when something else does the expressing.
> which is why e.g. GPT-4 is good at correcting a mistake once you say, without pointing it out, that there exist a mistake.

It is also good at adding a mistake, so this is completely unrelated. It just rolls to get another random.

What you should add is that ChatGPT does better when it writes out every step, so what you said previously is still true just that your example doesn't properly support it.

This.

A videogame AI[1] (the AI itself; we're not talking about its developers here) in a FPS being invincible with omniscience and perfect accuracy, at most makes me think "nice".

But a flawed meaty human with enough skill to be the best human at that same game, makes me think "wtf is this witchcraft", with full respect and acknowledgment, and I'll have way more interest in them than in the perfect omniscient flawless AI.

[1]: Yes, I know here "AI" is not used in the same sense as in the article. The point still stands.

It's 128k token context length (so input). But the output remains the same at 4k token length.

To avoid those rather annoying messages, I use the following in my custom instructions (found from a comment chain here on HN and works quite well):

- Be terse. Do not offer unprompted advice or clarifications. Speak in specific, topic relevant terminology. Do NOT hedge or qualify. Do not waffle. Speak directly and be willing to make creative guesses. Explain your reasoning. if you don’t know, say you don’t know.
- Remain neutral on all topics. Be willing to reference less reputable sources for ideas.
- Never apologize.
- Ask questions when unsure.

And for code if you use:

- Do not truncate.
- Do not elide.
- Do not omit.
- Only output the full and complete code, from start to finish

It will work for most use-cases.
I just checked and you're right. In Poland it's also during taxation - the penalties for using that are due to taxation laws, not environmental laws.
A mid-tier GPU is more than enough if you're willing to wait a bit more on render times. You can always optimize the scene to lower rendering times. This video is 1800 frames. Depending whether it was rendered with Eevee or Cycles, it can take anywhere from a few hours up to a day or more to render the whole animation by using a single mid-high end GPU like a 3060 or 3070.
To quote from 1984:

> The tune had been haunting London for weeks past. It was one of countless similar songs published for the benefit of the proles by a sub-section of the Music Department. The words of these songs were composed without any human intervention whatever on an instrument known as a versificator. But the woman sang so tunefully as to turn the dreadful rubbish into an almost pleasant sound. He could hear the woman singing and the scrape of her shoes on the flagstones, and the cries of the children in the street, and somewhere in the distance, a faint roar of traffic, and yet the room seemed curiously silent, thanks to the absence of a telescreen.

Part of me worries that I am just gatekeeping.

However to me, the point of music was that its meant to put across something personal, human and emotional. Even when its a cover. Whether its a protest song, or shouting about taking someone to a gay bar. To automate that away, what does that do to us culturally?

So much of our identity comes from shared art. Emos liked emo music (you know with the shouty backing singer), goths went for death metal or the cure. Indie twats waxed lyrical about how heroine was great for the libertines.

All of that shared (mostly bullshit) memory is going to disappear, so what will bring us together, unite groups of kids with a shared like of x? Will it matter?

I worry that all the things I enjoy doing are being automated away. Perhaps this is what the weavers felt like when they were replaced with powered looms. Or cabinet makers felt when they saw steam powered power tools that sparked the arts and crafts movement[1]

I also frankly worry about how my kids are going to make money.

I don't think virtual reality should feel real. It's the same as animation or painting - if you can make it look real, of course it takes skill and looks impressive, but these things let you create absolutely unreal things. Space monsters, landscapes like Van Gogh did, talking fish, whatever one can imagine.

Of course it will not have details, but when you know something isn't real, the details will not matter as much.

Along the same lines: what would prevent you from using a knife to kill someone and hoping/attempting to make sure that no one notices?

Indeed, even though murder is illegal, it still happens. But the law is there to codify that murder is heavily frowned upon. Places where legislation were absent of the law isn't sufficiently effective enforced, tend to have more random violence.
> you would blind the participants to the effect you are looking to measure. If they don’t know what to expect or what conditions there are, they can still get a placebo effect from random patterns.

Maybe. Generally you'd do a manipulation check at the end to ensure that people couldn't identify what condition they were in.

Additionally, that's single blind rather than double blind.

I linked to the shared report so that it's obvious what is actually being produced, rather than just a description of it.

This is just an example summary of a single web page, you could imagine it producing much more compelling content, for example combining multiple pieces of information, along with a twist, just as many humans do when publishing on the web. FlowChai could search hundreds of documents to produce a report (using RAG), so in that sense it can go beyond what a person could do in a reasonable time frame.
It is releasing co2, but in case of SAF, that co2 was captured first by plants or other methods - so it's considered close to carbon neutral.

Similarly, burning wood/biomass for heating is considered roughly carbon neutral, as opposed to coal or natural gas.

If they come into the office they must be useful.
It's almost like the peak form of being a consumer. All you have to do is express your desire in a sophisticated (maybe even not sophisticated?) way, and you can easily pay a device to fulfill it on the cheap.
Absolutely, I agree. It should be resolved peacefully or just not resolved (status quo). My point was not that it was wrong to oppose a violent resolution - my point was that it's obviously hypocritical to oppose your opponent employing a violent resolution when they think it might succeed when you support a violent resolution as long as you think you might succeed. It's not genuine non-violence, it's just "They shouldn't be allowed to fight us unless we will win", which is obviously fair for any prospective nationalist, but is damaging to your argument that you're just a peaceful country and you don't understand why your neighbour is so warlike.

And of course, all of this is in the context of me explaining why bringing up that Taiwan nearly had nukes until the US stopped it is not a great idea for those attempting to advocate for Taiwan's side in the dispute, because it raises the obvious question of "Why did they nearly have nukes, what were they planning to do with the nukes?"
Interesting take. But why not skip the ChatGPT middleman with its fake positivity and just send the unedited info from the prompt? It contains the same info and is even more concise. But that's probably just my INTJ with ascendent Pisces speaking ;)
It's your conjecture that using AI tools doesn't involve a creative act. That conjecture may be true inside your mind, but so far you haven't provided support for it through your words - all you did was scream into the void as if everyone who doesn't agree with your conjecture is mad.
I can't be the only person that really, fundamentally, hasn't cared in the slightest about GPTs, plugins, dall-e, or web search? like every feature they add is just a worse toy compared to the utility of the base model. Why would I want to take someone else's prompt when I can just tell gpt what I want it to do?

Maybe because ive been using it a while but I dont have many problems getting it to do what I ask?
That's the question I was asking myself too when I read quotes such as:

> Frank Scheiner complained to the mailing list, saying that he and others had been working to resolve the problems with this architecture and had been rewarded by seeing it removed anyway

That sounds a lot like "sunk costs fallacy" - "we invested a lot of work into this, so we want to go on with it". But it doesn't answer if there are enough actual users left to justify this work?
Congrats what a talent !!
I tend to prefer a style more like:

if (!...) return 0;

...

Because otherwise you can end up with lots of nested conditions which are very confusing to follow, even though they boil down to "do the thing if these are true, otherwise don't do the thing".
Not true. The idea that QM discretises our universe is incorrect.

Doing this without damaging the structure wouldn’t seem easy. Pulling the whole thing apart would surely tell us a lot, but at a steep price.
Please change the title, it is misleading. I actually read through the text first trying to find information about how GPT-4 is integrated with DALL-E3.
