Generally - the areas where GPT starts to become unreliable are usually fairly "off-piste". My gut feeling is that in most standard educational contexts it would probably be fine.

Curious to hear specific examples where people have found this not to be the case.
I would say the first three books form a series. An underlying story of a great interstellar war and how that war was first lost than won.

Of course you won't be able to put all of this together until the last book in the trilogy, the last chapter.

The other books can be read out of order, but the first three are a trilogy.
Right but the original context was "another 9-11" that would lead to "decades of war". We have clear examples, right or wrong, where bringing down a single plane would not result in that response by a nation state.

One of the reasons we have not seen another airplane based terror event, is not because of security, but because it simply would not invoke the response the terrorist desire. They want a nation to over react, to bomb things, to over all make the lives of the people they purport to be fighting for "freedom" on behalf of worse... This keeps them in power, and aids in recruitment.

Taking down a single plane does not do that, using that plane as a missile did, which door locks prevents.

They didn't close for economic reasons. They have been slowly dying along with their patrons and have been ramping costs to cover this for the last couple of decades. They then tried to reinvent themselves. It has now reached the point of saturation.

Also a lot of people have complete alcoholics in their family and history and it's not seen as a socially acceptable thing and is tied to negative sentiment as well.
So what we have here is some scientists trying to prove that the Dunning-Kruger effect doesn’t exist and instead they give us a perfect example of the Dunning-Kruger effect.
The AI doomerism is definitely overblown, but I don't think the same is true of climate change. It won't be a fast extinction by any means, but if the heaps of scientific evidence are to be trusted, we are rapidly losing leeway to feasibly reverse/mitigate the consequences.

Only looking at deaths up to this point is like seeing an empty road, walking onto it, and texting people while standing still.

Weatherspoons encourages binge drinking, daytime alcoholism, etc. Those aren't the pubs that are closing.

I was in a pub near St Pauls earlier today, one built by Christopher Wren with some friends I hadn't seen for a long time ahead of a mattine performance. The four of us sat round the fire, one had a pint of draft peer, another half a pint, another a mulled wine, and another a coffee. Certainly not expensive -- less than the cost of a coffee from starbucks, certainly not a pit of misery, and I didn't get the impression anyone near us was miserable.

Meanwhile just down the road are chain stores selling heavily processed junk food causing far more damage, but I'm sure you consider them healthier because of your puritanical beliefs.

I completely agree. The power of LLM and conversational AI will give each student their own private tutor, ofc. there are issues today, but the future will be wonderful for whoever is able to embrace this technology.

I already used GPT to help me tutor my kids, and for my kids to use it when they get stuck. They get unstuck faster. They are critical but also more willing to accept response as fact, we discuss this regularly and they seem to be getting the point.

so many kids get left behind because a teacher is unable to spend time with them, how amazing will it not be for each student to have their own supporting teacher?

hopefully, we will be able to harness AI for the better and good.

Did we get third spaces that replaced the pubs though? The lack of third spaces is a real issue and I find myself longing for them. I don't see myself hanging out in the pub to socialize with strangers, but more third spaces and people using them more are one of the things that I think could greatly help the mental health epidemic and our social discourse in general.
I assume by "expensive as hell", you're talking about it being expensive to patronize these places.

The "good" implies that you might think these places deserve to go out of business because they are expensive. You can bet your ass that they're expensive because all of their costs have skyrocketted, not because they are profiteering.
A pet fantasy that I have is to coin a phrase. Now I don't know if this is a coincidence, but since I started using the phrase "free market fundamentalism" a couple of years ago I've seen other people use it. For example, its used in the subtitle in this article.
I'm not sure what you mean by "laundering" the copyright. Even human authors regularly take inspiration from other works. Often very substantial inspiration, and copyright does not prohibit this. Take Warcraft and Warhammer for example. Those two settings are much more similar to each other than a Star Trek & GoT spinoff would be to either Star Trek or GoT.

As long as the work produced by an LLM drawing inspiration from Star Trek and GoT was sufficiently distinct from either setting to infringe on copyright, I don't see why it'd be different from a human author producing such a work.
I had the same experience. Travelling for work alone, I used to always get takeout to bring back to the hotel, or maybe eat in a counter service type place, but now I'm used to eating in restaurants alone, it's no problem.

Someone asked me how to get used to it the other day, and I suggested that hotel restaurants are a good place to practice, because there are always a lot of people eating alone at hotels. Same for hotel bars.

I would generate a response based off of an existing body of knowledge within me. Exactly like chatGPT would.

In fact chatGPT is able to generate a accurate and self aware response to that query that is fitting and within context:

It generates that response every weekend, since that is a pre-programmed response that it has been taught to answer based on that query.

If I ask that to a human they will respond with different things from weekend to weekend, or depending on their mood or if they trust me enough to talk about it or if they did something sensitive that they want to hide. It isn't the same thing.

No, they don't. Most of the time updating an extension for a new gnome version is simply a matter of adding a number in the manifest file, but even when it isn't, they all get updated very quickly. Gnome 45 changed some core APIs so basically every extension had to be updated, and yet from ~10 extensions I use only 1 was not supported immediately upon GNOME 45 release, and even it got updated less than a week later.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but, It cannot be unpredictable, which makes the library redundant for security concerns, which would be the one business case to seek for anything other than an UUID (which is already built into Ruby).

That’s very awesome and by itself a compelling argument for one to consider adopting offpunk.

I’d imagine putting the archive in git repo with annex/lfs and along with builtin time-stamping it means an activity archive also. Lot’s of interesting use cases if combined with LLMs and RAG for example.

“A few weeks ago I was researching technology XYZ and there was an open source python package that looked neat, but I can’t remember what it was. Could you use my browsing cache and prepare a report on what I was reading about and summarize it please?”
Another way to botch the security analysis of Kyber-512
obviously need some work to reduce/eliminate hallucination but LLMs will definitely transform learning. At worst you'll occasionally need to text search your notebook to confirm certain facts. Stuff like RAG and fine-tuning is already being done to improve those issues and I assume improvements will be made at the model level eventually

When combined with the ability to run code and read images I think it will really help with learning math. Show it your work, have it tell you why you got a wrong answer, and then it can tell you the concepts you need to review
I know what you mean about the filmic module, and while I'm inclined to think that it doesn't necessarily invalidate his criticisms of Darktable, it does make me wonder whether he's the right person to fix these things.

I think Wetherspoons are unfairly maligned.

They give the market what they want in terms of cheap food and beer, and some of the venues are beautiful.

Most of them are fairly civilised during the week as they revolve around food and there are families present.

The city centre ones do get a bit rowdy on Friday and Saturday nights though.
Eric at it again, taking no prisoners. If he invested in a decent camera and stopped shilling his fusion startup, I'm sure he'd have a lot more fans. I'm a believer though - I always thought the big bang was a dumb idea.
I think another aspect of this is that people don't just socialise with people in their immediate neighbourhood anymore too. My friends live all over the city, so why would we go to a local pub to hang out? It's just easier for us to meet in the city centre.

In the past (before cars) people used to work and socialise far more locally.

> The irony is that the situation is actually reversed. In their seminal paper, Dunning and Kruger are the ones broadcasting their (statistical) incompetence by conflating autocorrelation for a psychological effect. In this light, the paper’s title may still be appropriate. It’s just that it was the authors (not the test subjects) who were ‘unskilled and unaware of it’.

> I just offer a very well designed link in bio tools, which is quite rare to find (only a few handful companies are able to pull it off), then maybe there's a chance to capture the market - here the USP will be a well crafted product....but still, I am unsure.

It really depends what a "handful" here means. If there are several companies doing a good job already, it will be tough for you to catch up. If you could find one feature that current tools are bad at, and an audience that feels intense pain about that, then you could potentially get big. Try to own a niche if you are playing catch-up, instead of trying to outcompete the biggest players.
I have serious doubts that a lot of people celbrating this have ever been to the UK, let alone lived there.

Pubs in the UK, for better or for worse, serve an important function as being pretty much the only "third place" [1] for a large number of Britons [1]. If you say "it's good because people are drinking less" or "businesses don't have a right to exist", you're completely missing the point.

Is this an ideal situation? No. But UK pubs closing is really a function of the sky-high cost of housing specifically and the cost of living more generally. People have less free time because they're forced to work more to make ends meet. And pubs are expensive because they have to pay for their own commercial space.

People get really excited about their home price going up because on paper it loiks like they've made a profit but in real terms you haven't: you still only own one housing unit worth of wealth. If you sell your house, you still have to live somewhere.

But more importantly, that cost of housing is an input factor into every business you frequent or use.

This really represents a breakdown in UK society.

Spoons is a fine example of what the old pubs were though. The cheapest place you could get casually fucked up. The new pubs are closing because they are not profitable as they are dead 80% of the time and the rest of the time they have to make up for the staffing costs. It's a dying business. The only successful one is the pubs like spoons which are completely harmful to society.

Not a puritan. Just realistic. I don't care what you do. People care what they do and the end game is they started caring about themselves more.

The first answer is wrong, so is the second's explanation... twice it conflates unset with null/empty. Very illustrative!

The substance of the first answer:

#!/bin/bash

# Check if the first parameter is not provided
if [ -z "$1" ]; then
echo "Error: Parameter not provided."
exit 1
fi

The snippet precedes the true statement:

> This checks if the first parameter (`$1`) is empty.

But what happened to the supplied task? It was stated and echoed as:

> Anonymous: ...if it's not passed?

> ChatGPT: ...if a specific parameter is not passed...

> ChatGPT: ...if the parameter is set.

The second answer:

#!/bin/bash
: ${1?"Error: Parameter not provided"}

This is correct. But the explanation is not:

> ...and the `${1?...}` part checks if the first positional parameter (`$1`) is unset or null.

Ask HN: How to delete all Google photos so that I don't lose access to Gmail?
A while ago I purchased storage from Google for photo backups for something like $2.99 a year. Sometime thereafter they merged all of my Google services so that my Gmail is now on the Photos storage plan.

Sometime later the price for storage has gone up to $39.99 a year, so I decided to start backing up my photos to a NAS, and I downloaded everything locally and stopped using Google photos.

This week I received an email that if I don't renew my storage subscription then I will lose access to Gmail. Unfortunately I've been using Gmail for my primary email for almost 20 years so I'll be in a world of pain if I'm suddenly shut off.

I think if I delete my photos, then I will no longer be over the free tier limit, but I have thousands of photos and there doesn't seem to be a clear way to just delete them except for manually clicking each one and pressing delete.

The storage account is supposed to come with email support, but I have not got a reply on what to do.

Does anybody know of an app or script or anything I can use to delete these photos?

Royal Caribbean has got Starlink in the middle of the ocean, it works brilliantly.
Moscow’s situation is funny in part because a number of diagonal slashes is closer to what the city needs (the central parts are probably an order of magnitude over design capacity during rush hour and essentially never under it), but the plan for those got turned into a ring because apparently the infrastructure to turn trains around at the ends was too difficult to build.

The other new ring is a fairly old preexisting train line that used to be cargo-only; it had the potential to be great, but unfortunately the ridiculously long connection times have made the real thing somewhat niche—if both your origin and your destination aren’t on it, the ten to fifteen minutes’ walk will likely make the result worse than just going through the center. And two connections are just never worth it.

(There’s a whole story behind how building stupid useless connections came to be viewed as a virtue in Moscow transport planning—look up “Vykhino effect”. Doesn’t make the result any less shit, though.)
