> Not the commenter you responded to, but I'm guessing they meant "inheritance" as a programming practise, not the CSS-specific meaning.

Yes, that is what I meant. Thanks for jumping in and clarifying. :)
You're talking about wildly different situations. If the owners wanted to lease the place for a fair price, it would never be empty long enough to be squatted. Most squatters are actually looking to rent a place but can't afford it because of bloodsucking landowners letting apartments to rot empty to drive the prices up by creating artificial scarcity in the housing market.

As for finding new speculators to buy the place, that's also complicated. I mean, mostly because selling an occupied place will drive its value down and certain shark-like speculators specialize in buying occupied homes for pennies to make a huge margin. But there are other factors.

But more than anything, squatters are people. People who need a home. They can be discussed/reasoned/bargained with. In the worst case, a civil suit will get them evicted after some time even if they'd not like to move out.
Thanks for sharing this. Very inspiring.

Not exactly. I mean, in the US, as far as I know in all/most jurisdictions you don't get a different tax rate depending on whether the property is vacant or not. But in many places you can get a sizable property tax deduction for historic designated properties, sometimes equal to 100% of the value of the structure. Note that in the UK "listed building" means the property is registered as being historically significant, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Listed_building.
> Huge jump from GPT-2 to GPT-3. Huge jump from GPT-3 to GPT-4 … and not so much for GPT-4 (13 months ago) to GPT-4 Turbo (just released). It’s hard not to see this plot as tentative evidence for the hypothesis of diminishing returns. Whatever doubling there might have been, has perhaps come to an end.

Maybe I’m misunderstanding how OpenAI names their models, but was there supposed to be a huge jump from GPT-4 to GPT-4 Turbo? Just from the names it sounds like it’s expected to be in the same realm of model performance, just faster.
Oooh, how about we do "Obamacare death panels" instead? I mean, that's basically what would happen if Medicare ceased to exist, anyway!

I had a long discussion with GPT-4 about various things that might go into a Trump vs Biden win; about similarities and differences between the 2016 election, and so on; then asked it to re-write "Chapter 12", and the result came out significantly the same.

When I asked it about factors which might affect Trump's influence post-2024 assuming that he lost, and then asked it to write another "section" of our "history book" about that topic, it came up with this:

---

Chapter 13: The Shadow of Trump - Influence After the 2024 Election

Post-Election Landscape

Despite losing the 2024 presidential election, Donald J. Trump continued to exert a substantial influence on American politics and the Republican Party. His role in shaping the national discourse did not wane; instead, it morphed, adapting to the contours of his post-presidency status. The factors influencing his sustained relevance included his aggressive engagement with the media, loyal base of supporters, and strategic use of social and political platforms.

Legal and Media Maneuverings

Trump faced a series of legal battles that kept him in the public eye. Various investigations and trials provided him with platforms to rally support and criticize the Biden administration, claiming political persecution. Simultaneously, Trump leveraged media relationships to remain at the forefront of conservative media channels. He flirted with the idea of starting his own media network, which threatened to reshape conservative media landscape, although this project saw various degrees of success and challenges.

Political Influence and the Republican Party

Within the Republican Party, Trump’s influence remained significant but became increasingly complex. While some emerging party leaders sought to distance the party’s identity from his brand of politics, a considerable portion of the GOP base continued to see him as the de facto leader. This resulted in a fractured party where Trump-endorsed candidates often succeeded in primaries but faced challenges in general elections, where broader appeal was necessary.

Trump’s endorsement became a sought-after commodity for Republican candidates, affirming his kingmaker role in party politics. His ability to mobilize voters was evident in mid-term elections and special elections, where his support could tip the scales in favor of his preferred candidates.

I never understood the all-in approach either. Different tools handle things better.

I personally am using a mix of tools with my editors being vim for editing files quickly on cli, emacs for magit (honestly I just use it as a git tool and it works amazing, the startup and leaving it running 24/7 is no issue on a modern computer), intellij for java (it just works), and vscode for python, terraform, javascript/node.

I see absolutely no issue with this setup, I’m not sure I would recommend it to everyone but if you use a tool, that you feel works better for even a specific case why not use it for that. If new tools popup in the future I’m always willing to try them, if they work better I’ll add them to my workflow.
What is minimalistic about this? It seems like a really nice interface but I don't understand that bit of its description.

The exemption for vacant buildings only applies to listed buildings in the UK. E.g. https://www.clearway.co.uk/news/does-a-landlord-have-to-pay-... :

> If your commercial property belongs to one or more of the following categories, you’ll be eligible for an extended period of relief for business rates, provided that your property is fully empty and not in use:

...

> If your building is a listed building, you will only begin paying business rates once the property is occupied once again

> And here’s the thing – we all know that GPT-3 was vastly better than GPT-2. And we all know that GPT-4 (released thirteen months ago) was vastly better than GPT-3. But what has happened since?

Other models have gradually caught up to GPT-4 while OpenAI has declined to discuss or release anything regarding their internal research and work on GPT-5. Given how far ahead they were with GPT-4, it seems odd to assume no further progress has been made and just not published yet.

The author’s assumption is based on the claim that GPT-4 Turbo “was a failed attempt at GPT-5” but I don’t see any good reason to believe this unless you take the claim that GPT-5 is impossible as a given and reason backwards.
Your understanding is correct, Gary Marcus is intentionally misrepresenting what GPT-4 turbo is to make a story. It’s clearly the cost optimized version of gpt-4. That’s why it’s much cheaper per token.

Oh wow so the game Connections is apparently a robust indicator of LLM capabilities?

Give me a break. The thesis here may be correct but Gary Marcus’ hasn’t effectively argued that it is. Is there even a mention of the scaling law’s paper?

I think the point made in the article is that they wanted to build gpt 5 but they renamed it to 4 turbo because the improvements over 4 weren't what they were expecting
I am just saying that common shares are extremely high risk investments. When you start putting money into an investment I believe you should aim to get the same risk profile as other investors that are putting money in. If exercising your shares is a trivial cost, then it doesn't matter. If exercising shares costs a lot then it really really matters.

Common shares have zero value until after the preferential shares are in the money. i.e. buying common shares is as risky as investing in call options.

Angel investing is extreme risk, call options are extreme risk, and as a sweeping generalisation: common shares are riskier than those. I'm only mentioning Angel investing because we all know how risky that is, so it is a baseline to compare against.

You answered JonChesterfield who's point was "here's some tokens". Your reply is entirely sensible and you are rightly saying those tokens can end up winning and you explain a good strategy to get valuable tokens and gamble some of your pot.

I am attempting to amplify JonChesterfield's comment, perhaps I'm failing!

Aside: I really appreciate your comment and I am commenting to help my own thinking. I have been trending towards doing Angel investments which requires understanding VC incentives. I'm past being an employee so I'm not sure how relevant my comments are to anyone! VCs and the VC ecosystem use the confusion between the details of public market shares, common shares, and preferential shares to the advantage of the VCs.
Is it just me or does this look like an advanced form of blogspam? The author seems to take one idea and just throw out a dozen variations of it over a few days to see if anything sticks. A few titles from the past few days:

- Evidence that LLMs are reaching a point of diminishing returns — and what that might mean

- Superhuman AGI is not nigh

- $10 million says we won’t see human-superior AGI by the end of 2025

Etc, you get the idea.
Oroborus issues were seen from 100k miles away.
LLMs were bound to run into issues immediately based on training data. If I weren’t substantially poor I’d put all my savings into puts of LL
‘S like ChatGPT, and others. I cannot risk burning substantials of my own time to offset the burnage those themselves are creating.

Good luck y’all. I’d say I’m hope I’m right but you’re on a ship sunk by glacial ice that is hoping for a lifeboat off. Good fucking luck, you have no time to pivot.
> Also, psychology is a dying profession. A mental illness is described as a set of symptoms manifested from physical biological systems we don't fully understand yet. But once understood, psychology becomes obsolete.

That's a fundamentally reductionist perspective and assumes everything is biological in its etiology? For example, you could say we don't need a justice system once we have the biology worked out, or arts, or sports. At some level it's a fundamentally authoritarian argument as well: if you have the biology worked out, what's to keep the holders of power from altering people to whatever norm they want? Having the biology completely worked out won't magically reveal natural disorder states.

The biological explication of a behavior doesn't obviate the need to have some norm for intervention decisions. Biology doesn't have norms, psychosocial systems have norms. Non-behavioral medicine is still full of ethics. And that doesn't even get into issues about whether you could ever identify any biological substrate as synonymous with a human experiential state or history.
The author suggests that GPT4-Turbo should have been GPT-5, but turned out too weak. Not sure if I buy that personally, I'm quite confident that OpenAI can deliver a lot more than GPT4 does right now, just not in a way that is economically feasible. GPT4-Turbo may be an intermediate release to have something to show while more work is being done behind the scenes.
Surely, many of us maintain a blog where we publish personal reflections, often discussing new technologies we test or try to use. It would truly be a nightmare to personally engage with every business owner, developer, or investor.

If this were an occasional occurrence, I would agree with you, but it seems to happen systematically. Perhaps it's an exaggerated and counterproductive way of reacting.

People have the right to hold different opinions without feeling compelled to try to convince others of their own views or to be persuaded by others' opinions.
Accepting that people can have differing viewpoints demonstrates respect for diversity of opinion and individual freedom of thought.

The concept of accepting different opinions without trying to convince each other implies respect for intellectual autonomy and freedom of thought for each individual, while still encouraging open dialogue and constructive engagement __when appropriate__.
Right, but... is there any actual proof of that? I didn’t see any in the article.
Assuming you are commenting in good faith, no of course not your empty bedroom. A person's residence is protected by law in most countries, and this has nothing to do with the legal status of squatting.

Occupying part of someone's residence while they are there, or while they are away is strongly illegal and criminal, a violation of the residence. Nothing to do with squatting: this practice of stealing people's homes does not exist (or very anecdotally) and is dealt with by the police without trial in every country.

You can for example study the mediatic cases brought forward by the french far-right media (BFM TV / CNEWS) such as the Maryvonne case or the Roland case: they have not been acted upon by the police because they were abandoned houses that were not the residence of the owners despite what they claimed in the media.
Avoid these tempting startup tarpit ideas
If OpenAI had GPT-5 they would’ve released that instead of 4-Turbo.

OpenAI was allegedly working on their Arrakis model last year that didn’t end up panning out. It’s clear they’re hitting some sort of limit in the scaling laws, or cost efficiency, or both.
Then why is cheaper per token, and following the same path as GPT3 with several cheaper turbo versions.
Funny thing is, in my most recent trip, hotel's wireless network information contained a note which can be summarized as follows:

"Our hotel uses unencrypted wifi, so if you want any kind of privacy on hotel network, please use a VPN, kthxbye."
> we didn’t have a formal on-call rotation yet. That was a deliberate decision, since being on-call is painful, and the team was good about just collectively keeping an eye out for urgent alerts.

That seems like a terrible solution. Yeah, being on-call is painful, but at least I know beforehand when I'll be on-call and get compensated for it. Always being expected to keep an eye out for urgent alerts just sucks all around.
HN and Desiring God are my two favorite websites.
Yes! When I started using Kate on Linux ca. 2005, I was coming from Notepad on Windows and couldn’t believe how nice it was. I believe it was my first experience of syntax highlighting.

And Amarok! I haven’t thought of that in a while. Losing Amarok was my single biggest regret when I became a Max user. I’ve not used anything since that came close.
> is insane that squatting is not a criminal offense

No. Clearly a civil case.
That’s not the issue. It’s that it tracks in other ways.
Lots of comments here complaining about the fact that squatting is allowed.

But the property seems to have been empty for years. It's hard for me to be sympathetic to the right to leave a property completely vacant and unused.

> Sounds like you want to apply value calculation to people

To behavior. If you buy a sports car, you pay higher car insurance. If you buy a motorcycle, you should pay higher health insurance. If you live riskily or unhealthily, your coverage should cost more and not be averaged out over the less risky.

Risk calculus should be considered with everything. It's essential to extending a home loan, but not when granting a college loan. Decoupling risk leads to bad outcomes.

> but not the much more common sports that cause significant injuries.

I think sports players should pay more for injury insurance. And roofers, loggers, etc. Those costs will be absorbed by their respective industries where the costs are generated.

> this person does not deserve to live because I don't like their choices

I'm not saying that at all, and that's such a cartoon way of looking at this. You walk into a hospital in America and you get treatment. That doesn't mean you don't have to pay for it.

> I might have thought you could also see how the costs associated with many illnesses might contribute to the proportionally higher tax rates on things like alcohol and tobacco in countries with public health services.

I never said do not tax negative externalities. By all means, please do. We should tax drugs too.

> Your insurance premiums are priced to cover the YouTube stunters, the alcoholics, the people playing sports, the people driving, etc just like a Public Health Service.

I would like them to not. I would like to cover my risk profile.

Everyone should cover their own risk profile. That's fair and equitable.

> Because the metric for success in a public health service is treatment, the system is optimized to treat the most people.

It already does this. This is simply about who gets the bill.
> don’t understand why people volunteer at hospitals

They’re undeniably helping. Refusing to help one person because it might benefit someone else is a touch petulant.
Maybe the phone was silent but still flashing a screen? Mine does that in that mode.

At my first job we had a guy who could spot incidents coming on the monitoring dashboard before they happened. He never managed to explain or even understand what he was looking for and no-one else picked it up, but he would just see something that made him say things were odd, and most of the time we'd get an alert shortly after.

That article sure was a lot of words for "the rest of the market is catching up to OpenAI".

The rest is just a negative critical light on some of the woes of early adopters who likely aren't using the tech effectively. That's kind of problematic because (a) it doesn't emphasize how the tech takes skill and iteration to use right, and (b) it doesn't balance that out with examples of organizations who have seen immediate value from this tech.
Huh, yeah I have a 2021 and your math seems correct.

I always drive setting four and it keeps a very comfortable amount of distance. I think something is incorrect here because I definitely get at _least_ three seconds, or maybe I'm counting too fast.

Thanks for looking into this & being friendly!
I am not making that argument at all. I'm explaining why the numbers are the numbers. And why the numbers don't capture how people perceive things. I should clarify that I mean the "prices people pay for housing move slowly" even if they prices of available housing move quickly for the reasons I mentioned above. And I don't think exiting the housing market is a life hack, I'm just saying it's happening. It's the kind of thing that would explicitly not be reflected in inflation indicators because no price is being paid but would be felt as a negative effect of inflation by people experiencing it.
It looks like, if the website presents a cookie message, the tool just gets stuck on that and does not parse the actual content.
As an example, I tried https://www.cnbc.com/ and all it created was a markdown of the cookie message and some legalese around it.
Yeah that sounds like on call all the time, that makes no sense.
What sort of help are you looking for?

There is a decent chance that the bytecode runtimes will enable this instruction set in their JIT output. This would include .NET, JVM and V8.
This looks great! I was just looking in to Clerk as a solution for user management, so this is definitely a timely product, for me. And it looks to be a very easy integration because I could start out with the hosted version and then move to self hosting. I really like that feature!

Unfortunately, my project is not using jsx, so I can't really implement anything that relies on it. I would love to check this out, if I can use it without Next.js or any kind of jsx compatability. But, until then, it's not something useful for any of my use cases.
1) You can choose where in the world your traffic exits.
2) You can switch your VPN provider or even use/stack multiple and it’s easier than changing ISPs which encourages innovation.
3) ISPs and VPNs are regulated differently. In many if not most countries ISPs have to log and store certain PII.

I live in Canada, where radon is an issue. The item I got from Airwave gave me a half year of data that was close enough to the safety limit that I decided to add radon mitigation to my home. I then lent it to a friend who decided to do the same.

I have multiple CO2 meters in the house that helped me determine that there were no major issues with airflow, and led me to consider other ways to improve our sleep quality. This was also kinda helpful for me during parties; I'm usually not thinking about opening the window during winter, but when the CO2 level passes 1200 or so, I'll usually open it a crack.
My primary use case for a vpn is i dont trust people on my guest network and dont want their traffic looking like it is coming from an ip associated with me. I am not protecting against 3 letter agency levels of surveillance so i dont need the extra benefit and slowness of tor, i just need to move that traffic to a different jurisdiction to complicate things enough that people dont bother to figure out it came from my network on the off chance that someone i let on myguest network does something untoward.

does that count?
it doesn't show instance names (or usernames if they match the friendly name), it doesn't show threads out of order, it collapses hashtags and makes them less dark, it hides all the interaction buttons unless you click through to the post itself...

This is all pretty minimal, and it's opinionated because it both doesn't look or feel like "social" media, it looks more like an RSS feed or something; and it goes against the design decisions of federation (that full instance names should be displayed, for instance).
