Ask HN: Have ChatGPT conversations enhanced your knowledge retention?
Over the past year, I've found myself turning to ChatGPT more frequently than Google for "research". I have some observation after that time: my knowledge retention and acquisition seem to have improved, and that too without any noticeable extra effort. A little bit like being back at school were it was required to make notes from multiple subjects which led to (at least for me) having far more at-hand diverse knowledge available.

I'm beginning to think this might be because interacting with ChatGPT constantly prompts to articulate thoughts in writing. A lot. There have been instances where just typing out my question has led me to the answer. This experience makes me wonder if it's akin to those studies pointing out that writing with pen and paper enhances memory retention but realized here in the context of chatting with LLM. Before that, neither Google, online board posting or personal chatting didn't actually have a similar effect because of "intensity" difference.
So is abortion. Sometimes both are justified. Sometimes neither are. It ain't that black and white.
Well OK, you convinced me I want one but that website sucks. How do I buy it?
And yet companies don't mind the extremely obvious loss of productivity this causes. They also don't mind that it makes them look unprofessional. At all.

I've seen townhall meetings where 200+ FTE where sitting around waiting for Teams to stop glitching for like 10 minutes. And after they go back to their desk for real work, the glitching continues.

If I were going to do that, I'd just use tmpfs — i'm lazy. But I'm under the impression that given how aggressive and intelligent file system caching is these days, ramdisks are almost never the correct solution because the kernel is waaaaaaaaaay better at figuring out whether or not to cache files than I am.
Dead Cells alone costs $30 on Switch. Netflix offers it for free. It's the full game with all available expansions including the recent one that references Castlevania.

The difference is that you get it on Android or iOS.

If you buy a gamepad and are able to output to a decent sized monitor or have a tablet, you have a great gaming experience worth dozens of hours. I think Netflix can really find success expanding into gaming. For now they seem to be working very much Undercover, but they've been adding a ton of content there. I'm sure they're building it up and at some point they'll throw some marketing behind it.
The complaint: Apple can use its own browser in non-EU markets, but Firefox cannot use its own browser in non-EU markets.

That gives Apple an "advantage"...but the nature of the advantage originates outside the EU.

I hosted a friend from Catalonia who was amazed and bewildered by the variety in shelves full of crisps: Chee-Tos, Doritos, Pringles, that sort of thing. And that was in a corner gas station's convenience store.

When I visited her in Catalonia, we visited a Carrefour, and I took note of the varieties of olives available. Also, the mounted legs of jamón serrano, curing in the open air. Complimentary olives were served at every Italian restaurant there, and her sister eagerly served me a jamón sandwich at her café.

I think she has the better part.

You are very much mistaken. I have seen someone go through this and it is very hard. You need to prove your contributions to an area of interest to the US, and that it meets the extraordinary qualification. It is ok to not know but maybe dont make such statements.
There are various kinds of "dependency hell". To be honest I can't think of any that are due to not doing semver properly. Usually it's:

1. Software depending on versions of libraries that are newer than the latest version available on the distro you have to use (cough RHEL 8). E.g. this very day I ran into a bug where some Asciidoctor plugin craps out with an error because my version of Ruby isn't new enough. Ruby's advice for how to install Ruby is "use your package manager; you will get an old version btw fuck you".

90% of the time it's bloody glibc. Every Linux user has run into the dreaded glibc version error dozens of times in their career.

2. Software that can't install multiple versions of the same package, leading to diamond dependency issues. Python is very bad for this.
I've been working on a small side project and I can totally sympathise with this. Chrome has 2 features right now, and has had them for more than a year, that Firefox hasn't yet implemented. One of those is the new navigation API. There's a polyfill but it's complex and can't 100% fill the gap.

I don't want to rely on blink browsers only but when you look at being able to implement a feature in 3 lines Vs many or not at all then...
And the British still insist on using article "an" before aspirated H-words as if they're all pretending to be posh cockneys.

Econ 101 is your friend.
With respect:

> in reality it's a small business

In your reality/mental model, not other people's.

That you have a functional/strategic view of a particular organization/situation- honed no doubt from other experiences unique to you- has nothing to do with the view/mental model that others in and around the organization have of the organization.

More critically, your view is no more valid than anyone else's view (and in functional terms, is less valid than the mental models of your superiors), and, you have almost no power to change other people's mental models.

This isn't a unique statement about you, it is just a universal truth.

In re:

> How do you deal with superiors at your organization that appear to be without direction, strategy, awareness and action?

Once you understand that all people in an organization are independent, autonomous entities with their own mental models, and therea are no magic buttons or injections that can change those mental models, it should become clear that the only way to engage and potentially to effect anything is to build relationships with people, With relationships, you start to understand what the mental models are of the other people in the organization, what is important to them, what is not important to them, and you and they can build a shared trust.

With superiors, this practice is sometimes called "managing up." It involves setting up conversations, asking questions, learning what's important to them in the context of the organization.

It may seem like there are people who lack direction/strategy/awareness/whatever. That is a failure of one's own perceptual machinery. They may not share your direction or priorities or whatever, but they very well have their own. Mental models that lack ambition are very often the result of learned helplessness (the causes of which especially in non-profits are myriad).

When there is sufficient understanding of their mental model, and trust around shared goals, one can present to them distillations of problems that are important to them, along with solutions or win/win framings of decisions or opportunities.

Understand what success looks like to other people, and then help them achieve it.

This applies not just to superiors but to all colleagues. Understanding what is important to other people and then applying your own initiative and capability to enable their success is the secret to happiness in life.

Since the comment that I replied to was flagged, I'm posting this here because it is simply a statement of facts.

- Judge Barak's numbers on civilian deaths on 7th october are simply wrong and could've been easily checked. 766 civilians were killed, 1200 was the total number of deaths (including armed forces).

- Israel's own numbers say "2 civilians killed for every one militant"[1], that's 66% in the Gaza offensive.

- 766 / 1200 = 63.8%

- 63.8% and 66% are indeed close numbers, don't see why would it be flagged.

Of course, the numbers claimed by other NGOs / UN make it worse. But Israel's numbers are sufficient to make that claim.

SlotSwap – A Newsletter Growth Platform
I've grown my newsletter to 2,000+ subscribers over the last 6 months. And a big part of that growth has been running cross-promotions with other creators.

Basically, we both include a signup link for the other person's newsletter in our own emails and send them out.

Do that a few times over a month and you can grow your newsletter quite nicely. Plus as you are getting access to existing newsletter readers, they are already highly engaged i.e. the quality of subscribers is almost always very good.

I've worked with a bunch of different creators now and while I've seen great results, it's a constant battle to find the right partners, organise the link swap and track how many subscribers come from each partnership to see if it's worth working with them again.

So I decided to build a platform where anyone with a newsletter can find other relevant publications, organise cross-promotions and track results all in one place.

I'm pre-launch right now and building up a waitlist of those who want in when it goes live.

So if that's you - check it out!

P.S. It's most likely going to be a completely free tool at launch - so there's really nothing to lose!

I did read the entire wall of text :)

And I'd like to share an anecdote - I installed Pop!_OS in a Samsung Galaxy Book3 Ultra (a combination of weird names) 2 days ago and I'm pleasantly surprised with everything that worked out of the box. The NVIDIA driver works, switching to Intel or NVIDIA works out of the box with zero issues. They even have a nifty command line tool, system76-power.

There are some rough edges. For example, the notebook's speakers do not work, but audio works via bluetooth or connected to a TV. Apparently, Linux Kernel 6.8 should solve that, and I could install it via PPA, but... I'm too afraid to do it. I got old, my primary job is no longer as a dev, and I don't want to spend all that time fixing a Linux system. The Arch Wiki for NVIDIA is incredibly detailed, but Pop!_OS... solves that out of the box.
That looks like a demo prototype. Farther along than I expected, though.

There is a way to argue against death penalty without resorting to such idiotic hyperbole.
It would be better to only allow a small list of approved plastics for uses like packaging with much more obvious labeling to distinguish them (e.g. require a particular color or very clear markings), more carefully regulate mixed/composite materials, charge manufacturers an extra cleanup tax for whatever materials they use, and try to carefully regulate many types of single-use plastics out of existence in favor of biodegradable or environmentally neutral alternatives (as a trivial example, there's no good excuse for candy wrappers to involve plastic), and force every municipal trash collector to also collect "compost" including food waste, soiled cardboard, and biodegradable plastics.

It should be possible for relatively incompetent consumers to tell at a glance precisely which plastic something is made of and figure out how to sort all of their recyclable plastic waste into 2 or 3 categories.

* * *

Or at a higher level, there should be some people with significant systems thinking training doing full society-wide audits of the sources and treatment of materials including plastics, and then regulators should be making targeted policy to fix harms (whether environmental, human health, economic, ...), starting with the most significant ones and working their way down from there.
> 282 GB is split between two GPUs

There is only one GPU in GH200 and it gets all 282 GB HBM3e memory.
There is another 480 GB LPDDR5X memory for the another chip (Grace CPU, not GPU).

GH200 interconnect bandwidth trough NVLink is 900 GB/s.

I don't know, releasing a sellable product from an algorithm is a huge undertaking, probably harder and definitely less interesting than developing the algorithm itself. This was just a three-month work project by some smart students, who afterwards got lucrative jobs working in industry.

In more practical terms, people who actually listen to vinyls get to appreciate the "cracks", and they wouldn't really see the point in such a product. Major studios have surely developed similar tools internally. The method is probably a scientific curiosity, mostly of educative interest, like observing the helium in the sun atmosphere with a hand-made spectometer built with an old CD and a cereal box.

> All correct and yet, what should happen? Israel stops their campaign. And then?

It remains a mess, but less of a mess? Look, it's all bad guys running the show in that hell hole of a desert. There are no trusted entities anywhere able to run a government that isn't somewhere between actively antagonistic and actively genocidal toward half the local population.

Nonetheless a status quo with less shooting and death is better than a status quo with more. Hamas killed fewer people than Israel did/is, so... yeah, I guess. An occasional October 7th is a better choice than levelling Gaza is. Incrementally. But none of this is going to get better, likely within our lifetimes.
Depends on what you're working on. I still feel like I'm learning new things fairly often and I'm working within a large corporation (as a consultant).

I've worked in startups and small companies as well, and while I liked what we worked on, it never really got used by a lot of people, and sometimes felt like I ultimately wasted my time, even if I learned a lot during it. Meanwhile for large corporations I've worked on applications (and been the primary builder of applications) that have been used by millions of people.

Sometimes the slow pace (it's not always slow, in some ways be thankful it is, I've worked some nightmare situations before at some corporations) is nice, you can keep your head clear for your own projects before or after work, or just let yourself relax on a Friday or whatever.

Really depends on the project though. Don't let yourself be assigned to a legacy product if you can help it, especially if it's not being used to win new business, just maintain existing business. That seems to be where most of the problems you're complaining about lie.

There are days when I miss the large amount of autonomy at startups, but I don't miss the intense stress to get something made quickly, or the hours that crept up to 50, 60, 70 hour weeks.

I don't have any time or energy left to work on my video and board game designs if I'm working that intensely and that long during the day.

> I can’t imagine Trump going behind Congress’ back to arm Israel as Biden has done.

I absolutely 100% can imagine it. I would go so far as to characterise him as:

1) Pro-Israel:

> On December 6, 2017, the United States of America officially recognized Jerusalem as the capital city of the State of Israel. American president Donald Trump, who signed the presidential proclamation, also ordered the relocation of the American diplomatic mission to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv [...]. Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu welcomed the decision and praised the announcement by the Trump administration.

> Trump's decision was rejected by the vast majority of world leaders; the United Nations Security Council held an emergency meeting on December 7, where 14 out of 15 members condemned it, but the motion was overturned by U.S. veto power.

2) Non-cooperative with Congress:

> The United States federal government shutdown from midnight EST on December 22, 2018, until January 25, 2019 (35 days) was the longest government shutdown in history.

> The shutdown stemmed from an impasse over Trump's demand for $5.7 billion in federal funds for a U.S.–Mexico border wall.

3) Loving to go behind backs:

> Trump reportedly keeps finding a way to meet the Russian leader privately.

the use of any fluid is not necessary and is absolutely out of convenience or ignorance of better methods. a sibling comment mentioned a charcoal chimney. like many, i grew up watching the grill get started with using lighter fluid, so it was taught without explicitly being taught so it is something most people never see.

i've since switched to solid wood chunks instead of charcoal. my backyard provides me plenty of kindling, and i find the wood chunks easier to start that way

It's not really true though. Incremental expansion doesn't actually require more heads if the compute is uniform.

I should really have mentioned storage. Networking is a vendor-imposed shitshow, but storage, storage is next level. It's almost like the vendors in 1995-2020 actively built their products around spite and hate for their customers.

To me it is interesting that despite the massive economic advantage that vendors _should_ have, they've made their products so unusable that people will pay 3x-10x more just to not have to deal with them, which is what cloud amounts to for enterprise customers.

> instead of "French", it should say "French-speaking"

Mostly true, but the Norman language isn't 100% the same as French, and the differences affected the development of the English language. For example, if England had been conquered by true French speakers, the words "war" and "cat" would have been something like "guar" and "chat" instead.

In fact, there are a few doublets where we borrowed both the Norman and French versions of a word into English. A good example of this is "warranty" and "guarantee"; the former is Norman, and the latter is French. Another is "cattle" and "chattel"; again, the former is Norman, and the latter is French.
I agree with everything you said up to this. We're talking about a software library, for which the user is a software developer. IMO a software developer should be able to package a library for their own distro (then they can share that package with their community and become this package's maintainer).

As the developer of an open source library, I don't think that you should distribute it for systems that you don't use; someone else who uses it should maintain the package. It doesn't have to be a "distro maintainer". Anyone can maintain a single package. I am not on a very mainstream distro, and I still haven't found a single package that I use and is not already maintained by someone in the community (though I wish I did, I would like to maintain a package). My point is that it really works well :-).

I disagree with the idea that we should build a lot of tooling to "lower the bar" such that devs who don't know how to handle a library don't have to learn how to do it. They should learn, it's their job.

For proprietary software, it's admittedly a bit harder (I guess? I don't have much experience there).
> But if the working groups continue to pretend HTML is for text documents instead of web applications, things will never get more semantic.

I mean, HTML is and will always forever be a system to display a few pages of text with some images thrown in. And even for that it sucks big time.

Anything standards committees have been throwing at it over the years are just haphazard hacks to make it into something it's not with no coherent goal in mind.
