>if you don't care paying for the premium then it's obviously a privilege for you.

I did not say that. I said I have no problem with dynamic pricing.

plane flights are cheaper at bad times. If everyone wants to eat at noon it potentially induces a big load on Wendys, e.g. more people staffing the counter. If you can financially motivate people to spread the load or rather "flatten the curve" it may increase efficiency.

But, not here for a flame war. For the record, yes I am stable financially, and that probably adds bias to my thoughts.
Hey everyone, I've decided to finally post something on HN as I've nailed down our offering quite a bit and I'm ready to start bringing people in. Oasis is offering nearly 100% async MarTech support services for as low as $1200/mo with no contracts required.

Considering the average salary of a Marketing Tech Specialist is about $138,000/yr, this can save your company up to 89.6% annually on your personnel costs if say maybe you've been thinking about hiring more Ops people, but haven't pulled the trigger.

ChatGPT absolutely can visit websites provided by users. I proved that to myself just now by giving it a URL to a site I own, telling it to "Summarize URL", tailing the log file and confirming that the summary it returned included information that I had published on that page seconds before I prompted it: https://chat.openai.com/share/34f47777-59c8-47b0-9220-a1ce9b...

But... it's also often VERY resistant to visiting pages. It makes judgement calls based on the URL you pass it - it refused to visit a PostBin URL I set up just now, at least at first: https://chat.openai.com/share/dcacf056-4509-40e7-bc54-6b9690...

Eventually it did visit it - if you hit https://www.toptal.com/developers/postbin/b/1709008827487-07... you may see the request from it (if it's not expired), which included the following user-agent:

Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko); compatible; ChatGPT-User/1.0; +https://openai.com/bot

Generally, if you see it say "Browsing..." it means it's either running searches on the Bing index or actually visiting pages. I don't think it's possible to tell which though, which is annoying.

Before they introduced ChatGPT browsing mode it was unable to browse the web but frequently acted like it could, causing much confusion. I wrote about that here: https://simonwillison.net/2023/Mar/10/chatgpt-internet-acces...
Reading your comment “feature working as intended”, I can’t tell if that’s supposed to be conspiratorial or just blunt. I think the linked twitter images tell a pretty reasonable story. Sure, you could argue the model appears biased against some conservative media, but I think the reality is that it is a self-inflicted wound from conservative media’s general lack of editorial standards.
I'm saying that in the country with the most cows generating GHG very few of those cows would be removed if more people chose to not eat meat.

The real question is (for some reason not framed this way): how many ruminants us humans want to keep around and where? If less than now how fast we need to kill those animals?

Tomorrow we could have 100% of grassland completely devoid of ruminants and other grazing animals, wild or not.

What will really happen to ecosystems and climate if we do this? Do we have a previous point in history where that was the case? Are our models good enough to say it will be 100% positive as we expect?

And I you looks at methane emissions globally ruminants are far from the leading emitters, why not go more intensely after other sources incluing the fossil fuel industry (leaks & all) that are fully man made, non renewable and useless, rather than trying to convince India people to slaughter all their sacred cows instantly?

Wetlands are a large source of methane emissions, should we dry those lands? Same question about ecosystems and full climate impact.

I understand vegan use this as a talking point, but when you look at the big picture there seem to be more reasonable choices and compromises based on data than ruminant extermination.

Nice flex.
I don't think anyone there are many people that think drinking is physically beneficial. It kind of misses the point. No one thinks watching movies is physically beneficial, but they still do it.

> BEV fires are less likely than ICE fires.

I feel like I hear about more fires affecting EVs that are parked/off than similar-age ICE vehicles that are parked/off. Is that just reporting bias, or is it that ICE vehicles are more likely to burn in collisions, and that outweighs the parked/off fires?
What a fantastic scrap to have fallen from the table of the ultra-wealthy!

Verhoeven managed that very well in Total Recall and Starship Troopers too - he really hit the right note. Right on the boundary of ludicrous and believable.

Kinda weird to start talking FOSS when the website itself never ever claimed to have anything to do with FOSS.

What does search engines indexability have to do with FOSS? There's no shortage of old school forums locked behind membership system, not indexable by any search engines.

Also Discord is an instant messaging software and not "web". It just happens to have a web frontend. It's OK to be nostalgic of the old web but not the old instant messaging softwares.

In my stumbling around YouTube in the past week, I found "The Next Major RTS Will Fail. This Is Why" - https://youtu.be/XehNK7UpZsc

The publishers have listened to their hard core players - and created games for them. Is Diablo III for the people doing seasons? or the people who play through the campaign in solo mode?

With modern games, this in turn means that the casual to competitive conversion rate is low (because of the lack of solo content to hook the casual players) and publishers look to milk more from the competitive players by making the game even less accessible.

The games are being developed as multiplayer first today... and that in turn means that the solo modes that the casual games aren't there.

Honestly, if MMO is one of the first things listed on a game, and solo content is lacking - that gets a "nope" or "meh" from me on Steam. Meanwhile, some fun old games I still pull up from time to time to play.

I'm a painter pursuing traditional-style work. The education system absolutely failed me, and I have seen it fail countless others with the same desire.

The last 10 years have seen a renaissance of academic painting information and education, and social media, particularly Instagram, has been the fuel.

There is so much now that simply wasn't there then. My life would be so much different and happier if I were coming of age now with those desires instead of a decade ago. Nonetheless, it is still dramatically improved by the advancements I described.

I no longer feel so alone. I suspect many people with different niches are enjoying richer lives like I am, due to the last 10 years of internet.

Gas doesn’t explode, not very easily, at least.

Lithium batteries are much more likely to combust or explode spontaneously in the absence of spark.

Also, lithium batteries only burn as slowly as their designs allow. Poorly made Lion packs will burn faster than equivalent energy-dense amount of liquid gasoline exposed to standard atmosphere.

Where is the data suggesting that EVs are less likely to happen than ICE?
Here's an excerpt from an essay I wrote exactly 8 weeks into my sobriety:

> Sobriety sucks, but hck it feels incredible. The morning sun no longer sears my eye sockets. My esophagus isn’t eaten alive by acid every night. My heart doesn’t attempt to leap from my chest.*

I'm now 76 weeks in, and I can confirm sobriety was one of the best decisions of my life! Highly recommended.

> Does step 1 mean I can't rent my apartment from a company anymore?

Why should a company own a residential property for the purposes of renting it out and spinning a profit? I'm saying we must remove that if we want housing to be affordable.

> I'd prefer if step 1 was something like "remove government subsidies to people who buy or own real estate".

This is such a classic misunderstanding of the problem. Government subsidies are not the core problem here, and they have extremely minimal impact on the cost of housing, or the availability of housing for sale.

> And step 2: Build publicly owned apartments.

As we know projects like this take forever and go through literally decades of red tape and bureaucracy. There is a much simpler and faster way that will address the crisis NOW.
Let humans who need a house to live in buy the houses that already exist but are being horded by companies and other people whose sole purpose to own the house in the first place is to spin a profit.

We absolutely should not let companies like Nestlé buy all the available drinking water on the planet so they can sell it for high profits, so why the hell are we letting companies (and people) buy all the available housing for the purpose of renting it at a profit?
Probably - I knew somebody whose Rav 4 spontaneously started smoking from under the hood while she was driving on the freeway (this was probably 15 years ago), she pulled over and got out and within a few minutes the whole thing was completely up in flames.

Tyres are part of it, but then think of the oily residues that build up around the engine, the rubber hoses, plastic bumpers, etc. - not to mention the entire interior all being quite flammable.
My 2024 prediction is we will see far more people moving off of openai once they encounter its cost and latency compared to (less proven/scaled) competitors. It’s often a speed versus quality tradeoff, and I’ve seen multiple providers 3x faster than OpenAI with far more than 1/3 the quality

How to Render a Single Gaussian Splat
> A bad government will be bad, period.

That's a wildly black-and-white perspective on an insanely complex topic. What government action could you not pretend to justify using that logic? Do you think any government actually sees themselves as a "bad" government? Do you think they and their socially dominant classes don't justify their actions by pointing out the good parts and dismissing the bad parts and making patronizing statements about how even if individual people get screwed, it's justified because the system on a whole "works?" That they don't have perceived enemies that they consider the bad guys which they can juxtapose themselves with to pretend like they're the good guys? Do you think that all of this either 100% does or 100% doesn't apply to governments? That it 100% does not apply to ours?

> Or at least in thinking about "small towns" where everyone watches everyone else and the police know everyone in the town, people accepted that everyone knew what you were up to.

Small community awareness among people who actually know each other is completely different from mass cataloging of the general public's ostensibly legal actions with practically no limits on its use or stewardship. I really don't understand how anybody wouldn't think so. Extrapolating the boundaries you set for your small community of neighbors and family, even if there are police among them, to federal police, intelligence agencies, and military in an astonishingly powerful country of 330 million people is a mindbogglingly strange take.

> Crime has victims and those victims suffer. If your car is stolen you can't get to work and you have to replace the car. If a traffic violator crashes into you again, you can't get to work, and you have to replace your car, and you have to pay medical bills to recover, and you might be dead. Even the non-victims suffer indirectly from higher prices (to cover the crime) and higher insurance (to cover the crime).

Not only is that a straw man, it seems to be shaped like something else entirely.

> There's a balance and right now, at least in SF and LA, it seems to have shifted to "unsafe". Some amount of surveillance seems like a possible solution. As a first step, I think I'd like people to be able to send in video of infractions and have them prosecuted.

Look at historical crime rates. Sure, they might have crawled up since the pandemic, but that's barely broken the consistently downward stride we've had for a good 3 decades. Our crime rates are nowhere close to what we were in the early 90s. The only people that don't seem to realize that are Fox News pundits and Newsmax.

In summary, sure: lots of things are very simple if you ignore context, pertinent details, and opposing evidence.
Why don't I try drinking in my apartment alone? Anyway, this isn't a therapy session. The point is this: it's easy to decry the evils of alcohol when you have reaped the benefits. A society without alcohol would likely be far worse than the society we have today.
My personal rule is that I don’t drink alone.

As a social lubricant or a ritual, I love alcohol. The danger, as I’ve observed with people close to me, is when you numb or seek relief with it. That’s bad path.

But it’s up to you. I fear my genetics, ymmv.

It's true that it seems to use Bing vs direct access. I still supply URLs, as it usually finds its way there.

Right. I never stopped abruptly and at the same time pull some epiphany out of my ass to tell the kids. I still drink on occasion, but occasions are much rarer and I tend to drink less even when I drink a lot.

Reason is that the good time of alcohol has shrunk, sometimes I drink a few drinks and think to myself "I don't feel any excitement" then suddenly realize I'm drunk without having experienced much pleasure but now the pain follows.

Hangover is much worse, even small amounts of alcohol will give me a headache on their way out of the system. Then real hangovers last two days now, one in a state of "I don't feel like living anymore" and the second day while technically clear of alcohol (like what a blood test would say), I'm feeling very moody and edgy, definitely not my regular self.

Not to mention it tends to fire up a pretty bad gastritis so I get acid reflux for days after before managing to calm it down.

All in all, the body tells you "not any more".
I enjoy drinking, both alone and with friends. I basically go by Hitchens rules, don't drink on an empty stomach, don't drink cheap booze, don't drink when you're depressed and if you have a hangover you're drinking too much.

I think alcohol is both incredibly enjoyable just as food and drink, Scotch, Wine, beer in many meals I wouldn't want to miss, and it's relaxing and pro-social. I stopped drinking for a few months a few years ago and I didn't really notice any change other than just being more bored and missing having a good glass of whiskey.

When I was a teenager every summer on the weekends we'd get a crate of beer with friends and go down to the lake, swim, grill and drink. (thankfully legal in Germany from 16 on), today's young generation seems to have replaced it with sitting at home in isolation. As far as I can tell, everywhere where drinking culture declines it pretty much gets replaced with nothing.
Alcohol is not a great choice for moderating anxiety because it grants a short term benefit but a long term detriment (it actually raises anxiety levels for a day or two after you drink).

If you need a substance to "take the edge off" - situational use of prescription pharmaceuticals like the benzos is a lot easier on the body and the mind. Note I say situational, in my experience doctors routinely over-prescribe and a daily benzo habit could lead to addiction and outcomes that are as bad or worse than binge drinking.

That said I feel that the social benefits of alcohol are hugely undervalued by a lot of people who are stuck in a downward spiral where they lack social skills, they lack a broad range of social opportunities in which to develop those skills, the two problems reinforce each other and the most interesting things and people in life pretty much pass them by. There are a lot of these guys out there, they are tedious to be around, they don't get invited to much of anything, and they probably don't realize how much they're missing. Yeah alcohol is not healthy but it's not healthy to be isolated and alone either, as long as you don't have an addictive personality and you know when to stop, you should probably be having a drink here and there (and buying them for other people!) as a social lubricant.

Ultimately Ubisoft is the author of the work, the holder of the copyright, and can do what they want. Yes, an artist can withdraw their painting from public viewing so that people in the future don’t get to experience it. They can charge you an entry fee to their exhibition and tell you to leave at the end of the day.

As far as the shutdown date, there’s no way to predict that at time of launch. Companies can only promise what is financially viable. A mediocre selling game of this type going for 10 years of working online is considered pretty decent in the gaming world. Many game studios don’t even last 10 years.

It would be nice to get a dedicated server but not every multiplayer game type is suited for it and Ubisoft has to pay someone to develop that free product that doesn’t make them a dime. A game like Fortnite would be difficult to offer as a dedicated server product. You need 100 players just to play a match, and the game’s multiplayer infrastructure is built with a huge player base in mind. It is not likely something that can be practically offered as a simple executable that can be run on a consumer system without major changes.

(What I meant by saying that multipayer games cost money is that despite having a purchase price for the license it’s generally understood that they’re not guaranteed to be “open forever” types of experiences. People who buy call of duty know that that year’s version of the game will not have a player base forever and will eventually be shut off. Like I’ve pointed out in other comments, there’s a literal disclaimer on the box that says that much).
that seems unusually high. I've seen 20+ quotes for doctors in very litigious states, and its not even 1/2 of that cost.
Full time doctors.

Try shopping around insurance or go with a mutual, or perhaps go with a IPA ?

NOTE: This rate is CERTAINLY valid if the OB has a long track record of attracting litigation. All insurers will ask for your "run rate" of claims. So, you can't escape a bad record. If you have a history, insurers will charge accordingly. You can't escape a poor record.
But not useful-- so that's why planting the "tree" now is more practical
All that sounds definitely a lot of fun. I was also working on colorization with SD ControlNet recently (https://vrroom.github.io/blog/2024/02/16/interactive-colorin...).
Not sure if this is still possible, but before they introduced the GPT marketplace and were doing the plugins thing, it was possible to prompt inject ChatGPT by including a payload in the HTML of a site you control and asking it to summarise the page. I'm pretty amused at the GPs hope that something like this wouldn't be possible because it would create security concerns, because, yes, exactly! We're going to see a lot of SSRFs, file read vulns, etc. as LLM assistants are baked into more platforms. These things aren't magic and the same approach you would take to installing a WordPress plugin or some other third-party library must be used here. That said, given the attack surface plugins and libs continue to add to web apps, I'm not optimistic about this being solved before it becomes a problem.
