> Honestly a very depressing outlook. If I would really think this way I wouldn’t wanna work in this industry. The only times I was really happy and motivated at work was when I was working within a team where we were really friends - I’m still in contact with most of them years after the fact and some became really close friends - this was outside of IT though.

It's important to differentiate between colleagues and the business. The people you work with can become friends, but ultimately the business will do whatever sociopathic thing makes the number go up the faster/helps to deal with the crippling emotional turmoil of the execs.

You can be friends with the people you work with/for, but if there comes a time when the business and the people's interests diverge, the business will normally win. As long as you are aware of this, you can be OK throughout it (sortof, getting laid off really, really sucks).
Our team has an Enterprise account, but individuals cannot access GPT-4 through the chat.openai.com interface. With teams, do individuals get access to GPT-4 through that interface? Is our account just broken somehow?

It seems odd we have enterprise but cannot access GPT-4 through the main ChatGPT interface.

> MMT forgets that people won’t lend to the govt if the government is going around telling everyone the way they intend on paying the borrowers back is by making the currency they borrowed in worthless. ... The moment the government makes MMT official policy no one is gonna lend to that government.

Your premise about the currency becoming worthless is not self-evident. MMT's explicit predicate suggests the currency won't become worthless: MMT assumes there is enough slack productive capacity in the economy — or that additional capacity will be added — to accommodate the increase in demand from the additional money in the system. When that's the case, prices shouldn't rise unacceptably.

MMT makes intuitive sense, but right now we're all just speculating how the populace (and the bond market) would react to it. We also don't know whether the government has enough "instrumentation and control" to be able to manage it effectively.

Yeah, but isn't it also a lot about the tyranny of the rocket equation? The more speed you want the more mass of fuel you need to accelerate so the more fuel you need, etc. That means if you can start your ascent at even a relatively small fraction of the final speed you need the size of your rocket can shrink substantially.
here is a fun anecdotal: google wouldn't load for me on ff windos, I tried a bunch of stuff over a few days then in a lapse of sanity or a stroke of genius I decided to switch the default search engine [back] from bing to google, I press reload and the html page with the single form field worked again! It continued to work after switching to bing again.

I feel I should note I have this in a user script:

document.getElementsByClassName('b_logoArea')[0].href = "https://google.com/search?"+document.URL.match(/q\=[^&]*/);

It makes it so that clicking the bing logo sends the query to google, perhaps it doesn't like getting queried directly without being the default search engine?

Not a work workspace but our family workspace, so very unreasonable. They forced us all to migrate to that...

For many years Google Home with all the Nest speakers and displays have worked fine. But you are not allowed to use the nest cameras, thermostats, doorbells, etc with workspace accounts. Hence I regret buying those.
Even if it wasn't, regions secede. Its not like the set of countries and borders is permenently fixed and its impossible to make new ones.
The audio doesn’t seem to change depending on which area you interact in.

The images will cycle, but also give you a random image which you can’t bring back in one cycle of repeating images. I got spider, ant, hedgehog, ladybug, blue butterfly… but no more than twice.

I guess I started looking for intentional patterns. Then I started trying to make patterns (areas of same image). I had a little spark of ‘joy’ when I got a new image, and disappointment when I cycled it away because I was tapping too quickly.

I toyed with this until I didn’t find any more surprises and got bored. Which I feel is just fine.

I read there’s a lion and a snake. Not enough to make me want to play now, but it’s interesting there might be more patterns I did not discover.
Reason is notorious as having some of the worst piano roll UX among popular DAWs. I see far more complaints about the piano roll in Reason than any other DAW, so perhaps it is not a good example here. I have Reason, and I just choose to use it for sound design, so I don’t have to deal with the UX issues.

Majority of DAW users are not thinking about their activity as “composition”. You can ask people whether they are a songwriter, producer, or composer, and I bet that the people who call themselves composers are much more likely to use something like Logic, Cubase, Pro Tools, or Reaper.

I think that it’s wrong to focus too much on the score functionality anyway. There’s just not a lot of tools in this product to help with songwriting. You can’t plug in standard chords easily, or change chords that you’ve added. You can’t rearrange song structure easily. The scales have weird names. I don’t know how to put in non-diatonic chords without changing the scale.

It’s expected that Ableton and FL Studio users don’t ask for notation. It’s not something useful to that user base, and if they wanted notation, they would probably just switch to one of the DAWs that has it, like Logic, Cubase, or Pro Tools. Reason user don’t ask for it because they just want to stop using Reason as a DAW altogether, and use Reason as a plug-in to a better DAW.
I missed that. Thanks for the link!

> Companies like Twitter are valued at a huge multiple of earnings. e.g. META is 33x earnings.

Meta is not a company like Twitter. Yes, they're both social media services, but otherwise the comparison is not apt. Meta/Facebook is in the top 10 companies by market cap, has about $117 billion in revenue per year, and has been hugely profitable for a very long time, unlike Twitter, which has barely made a profit ever.

> So if you cut costs by $2 billion a year, that would come back as $66 billion of equity value.

Um, no, sorry, that's extremely questionable, based on a false comparison, and if it were that easy, Twitter would have already done it before the acquisition.

I haven't found the web search feature particularly useful or helpful. Far too many sites are blocking the ChatGPT bot. I also find that ChatGPT isn't getting any better search results that I would if I searched for something myself. Quality of the results varies a lot too, and ChatGPT doesn't really seem to be able to distinguish between high quality content and not so high quality content.

For software development I find that Phind is pretty good at combining search results with GPT-4 in a way that increases the quality of the result.

Maybe OpenAI can convince the Bing team to index everything using their embeddings. If ChatGPT could also read the text directly from Bind instead of having to "surf the web" it would be able to consume several search results at the same time. In the future I could even see Bing et al. running an LLM over all text when indexing a page to extract info and stats like a summary, keywords, truthfulness, usefulness, etc.
Fascinating. I wish I could run them in a browser VM - it would probably be pretty fast as well.

Show HN: Merrygram – Create funny, romantic or heartfelt sites for loved ones
As someone who used to live far from family and friends, I used to send a lot of e-cards for birthdays, mother's day, father's day and other special occasions. However, these can start to feel a bit impersonal and low-effort after several years.

So I thought it'd be fun to craft funny little interactive sites for loved ones on special occasions. Initially, it was just a side project to get my hands dirty with React. However, it eventually grew into something more and is now a little novelty site builder to bring laughs or tears on special occasions!

Would love to get some feedback on what you guys think! Especially for the homepage and pricing.

Not sure what geographies it covers as I've only used it for UK-based roles, but I love the experience on cord.co.

It's what I believe recruiting should be. Potential applicants upload their bio and skills, say what they're interested in (in terms of salary range, WFH vs WFO, etc). Potential recruiters list jobs, with somewhat decent transparency (at least for the UK, where salary is rarely listed). Then one party or the other initiates a conversation.

The best applications I've been through all started via cord, and the interactions all felt genuine and were all with internal recruiters rather than agencies.
Conventional moving control surfaces also have reduced effectiveness at slow speed. The thing is, though, that an airplane will not be flying unless it is traveling at a speed sufficient for it to create lift at least equal to its weight, and the forces needed to control the aircraft are a fraction of that (you can get an impression of the size of that fraction by comparing the area of the control surfaces to the area of the wing.)

I doubt DARPA would commission this aircraft without having already established that it is likely to work, and it will have conventional control surfaces as a backup.

I am curious as to whether they intend to keep conventional moving surfaces for trimming in pitch, especially if they are going to give it flaps.

In Japanese there are two words for some numbers. For example number 4 is yon or shi and for 7 it is shichi or nana. For announcements on train platforms they do not use shichi, because it sounds like "ichi", which is the word for 1. Also, I think they do not use "shi" for 4 for the same reason. (I hope I got this right, have not studied Japanese for 25 years).

Maybe someone from Japan can clarify if the are talking about the English word "number 1" or if they mean the japanese term "dai ichi".
I feel like layoffs are like a lot of bad habits. Once you break the seal, it becomes easier and easier to give yourself permission to do it again and with more frequency.
Same thing here in German military where instead of saying "zwei" because it might sound like "drei", you say "zwo".

It's quite useful even though its a small problem compared to all those problems which happen because of the way you read numbers above 20. "Twenty one" becomes "one and twenty". It's not as bad as French but still a pain and I've seen Germans mixing it up also.

> People don't want to pay, at least not knowingly

That’s fairly recent. It was (and is) normal to pay for having a phone number. Paying more for making a phone call was normal, too, as was paying for such services as a phone line that told you the current time or a weather prediction.

It was also normal to pay for having an email address, and most people, to this day, pay for having internet connectivity.

I think it’s more that people object to moving from ‘free’ to paid. If most people pay for a service, they’ll accept that as the way it is.

For example, I think
people would happily pay $1 of more a month for GPS, if it never hadn’t been free.

I used to struggle a lot in communication for talking to people in the authentic self way you just described. Being too direct and telling my point of view in such a way has caused tension with family, colleagues and the girlfriend.

The moment I change the way I talk and say instead of "That's bullshit, let's move away from it" to "That could be a challenging and rewarding experience", and I can already see the advantage.

I rather like to talk the way I want, but I see it as challenging and not that rewarding as people seem to get more sensitive. That made me wonder if the way GPT-style chatbots communicate with humans would make humans expect the same way of communication from other humans.

Soft money is like a credit card that takes money from the population without them realising. You can use this money to produce a short term effort but you (or should I say, _they_) pay the consequences later. Just look at what has happened to most of the west over the last 50 years.

My estimate would be that at most 40-50% of developers are unionized in Norway (more for ops/IT-department workers). In Sweden that's more like 80%.

Even 40% makes a huge difference, though.
In my anecdotal point of view, it's the opposite. Pro-israel content is being censored and Palestinian content is dominant.

I find this article failed to verify this claim at all.

I can find nothing elsewhere about 'iron truth'. It seems to be a creation by this website.

Then I goto their main page right now.

https://theintercept.com/2024/01/11/dnc-biden-israel-palesti...

Also multiple entries of 'Israel's war on Gaza'

Which is simply not factually correct. The palestinians are the ones who declared war and invaded Israel. Israel is in a defensive war.

You can use objects to imitate named parameters in JS/TS. I think that's widely used convention and most of my APIs use one object parameter instead of multiple separate parameters exactly because named parameters are awesome. With TS it looks clunky with all those type declarations, but I can live with that.

As to your question, I share this feeling. Naming parameters must be standard feature in every language. Absolute majority of functions would benefit from verbose calling syntax.
I thought it was referring to MS teams initially too.
I disagree with pretty much every point here, wow. ChipMixer provided a little bit of disconnect, but there was a research paper a while back that ran something like 5 transfers through it and managed to identify their mixing transactions with 90% precision. Law enforcement is most likely constantly tracking those, similar to how the NSA runs some significant percentage of Tor entry/exit nodes.
Second, recognize the enormous amount of trust required here - that the mixer will actually do proper randomization, that there will be a large number of participants, that they won't keep the logs, that they won't just up and leave with all the money. There's plenty of examples of somewhat established mixers that fail on some or all of these, and you're telling me that instead people will just send their money to be mixed by anyone that can setup a network connection and a bit of code?

Like, I want to be able to insert a new section, because I realize that a transition is too abrupt. Or I realize that I want to swap the order of two sections.

Section arrangement tools are not just about duplication. Like, the main point of cut and paste in a word processor is so you can rearrange things, not so you can have two sections of your document that repeat each other exactly.

Ironically, those quotes will likely survive a lot of more modern content.

I read that Gitlab is working on some kind of federation of instances, where one could fork a repo from instanceA into instanceB and open a PR from instanceB to instanceA (instead of having to create an account on instanceA and fork the repo there).

I guess it would be good if it helped against this "lock-in" effect that pushes everybody to GitHub. Though I doubt GitHub would ever federate (obviously) and another lock-in factor is that people are used to the GitHub tooling and may be reluctant to use a different WebUI just for a few projects.

But that all sort of feels overly complicated to me, to be honest. Because the email workflow already solves that in a minimal way. I can send patches to any email address I want without creating an account, and I can use my favourite tools everywhere without even needing a browser.

I like minimalistic solutions :-).
I believe on conflict it will just fall back to placing it where it can by default. It will return the address it actually used, so you can catch the mismatch.

It makes sense to live life which that is now and then just off myself when time comes.

I don't think its so much the industry as the geography. It is all about tradeoffs and I don't think there is a clear answer as to what the better way is. I am in the US and to me the American dream is the selling point here. While I don't think the American dream is as easy as it was decades ago, I do think its still very much a possibility when I see the number of immigrants that come either as skilled workers or labor and can really lift themselves up. I am not European but my impression is that lots of the EU advertises itself as stable.

I personally have no interest in joining a union. I don't think companies are my friend but I also know that it is bad to become complacent which I find a lot of lifers at big companies can become. I am not suggesting you need to be working 90 hour weeks but I do think a lot of individuals, including engineers, fall into the trap of doing one thing well and nothing else and stick into a single role for such a time that they lose plasticity. The employee - employer relationship is not a war against each other but a market balance, I need to be adding incremental value and the employer needs to be recognizing it and we are left to negotiate the terms.

Traditionally if you're subscribed to a mailing list you'd basically have your own local archive of it and use your email client for search. If you wanted to incorporate messages from before you joined the list, you'd ask some old-timer to send you their mbox archive.

Public/centralized archives as the sibling notes became common at some point, though usability is generally worse than with an email client (at least the power-user ones).
