a safety line that can potentially move side to side still is quite a lot more flexibility than just going straight up and down.

also, these things are like the size of an arduino board so i imagine they're cheap to deploy, and easy to replace. plus, if you have a fleet of them, you can probably just have some on standby ready to go, as opposed to a fixed window washing style system.
Very little (I rarely make peanut butter, but I roast hazelnuts and make homemade "Nutella" with dark chocolate). Out of about 900 g hazelnuts (minus a bit of "shrinkage" because warm roasted hazelnuts are delicious) and 70 g dark chocolate (Costco Suisse Delice) we get about 850g or more of blended hazelnut chocolate goodness.

Add some almond milk and other stuff to the Vitamix and you can make a really nice power shake from the residue, and lose only a few grams to the soap and water cleaning required.
So, I know this isn't the point you were making--and I also certainly am not saying this correlation could mean what it would look to imply--but a little part of me read your comment and went "huh: so if the Japanese people 'don't need Ozempic', are they also already experiencing the side effects?"... and, I correctly hazily remembered, they are: "In 2017, the country had the seventh highest suicide rate in the OECD, at 14.9 per 100,000 persons, and in 2019 the country had the second highest suicide rate among the G7 developed nations."

Whole concept of Dyson sphere/swarm is anachronistic. It is like trying to build the Internet based on carrying pigeons, while you have available fiber optics and advanced radio communication. Because the moment you have enough technological advancements to build and deploy such a thing, you can already build fusion reactors by million units a year and maybe you already have even better ways how to manage energy. In the end the matter itself is just a different form of energy.

This makes more sense, thank you. I hadn't picked up on the distinction, but I agree that's more reasonable.

I still think we don't really know; it's developing technology and it's changing so fast that it seems like it's probably too early for experts on practical applications to exist and claim they know the impact it will have.

> Did you just compare modern art and rock and roll to the few letter “tag” sprayed in 10 seconds again and again hundreds of time throughout a city?

Yes! That's what rock'n'roll is at its core, three chords (or fewer) and the truth, and that's how it was characterized - artless noise, etc.

An alternative hypothesis: The Natural Selection of Good Graphs. People want their numbers to go up, so yes men tell them it is so. E.g. founders tell the VCs that business is booming, politicians tell their voter base unemployment has never been lower, etc., even if it takes some slight adjustments in the meaning of "booming" or "unemployment" to get that answer.

The largest issue with reverse proxies I've seen is that apps don't always offer a configuration to tell the front-end where they are hosted.

The proxy can rewrite app/suffix to /suffix so the back-end sees the the correct Location header.

But for a front-end it's not always that simple. Take a React application with HTML5-mode (where you can go from /foo to /bar without actually invoking a reques to the backend): Your React app needs to know what its base is. Otherwise the URLs just don't work, as it doesn't know which base to inject (or remove) as part of its navigation.

My only complaint about this would be that it’s noisy in your video. I already have my dog bark his damned head off when I turn on the Vitamix for anything.

I think that someone's suggestion for rotating it slower and longer might alleviate the noise issue.
I don’t see that really working. I regularly delete personal tokens off of GitHub, especially if they haven’t been used in awhile. I could see the same cleanup happening (or even being forced by disk space usage).

Anyway, I don’t think this idea would work with normal human patterns. At work, we regularly saw people opening emails years after we sent them. Hell, I’ve emailed people years after not talking to them. I just don’t see this working.
What was Open AI's legal team afraid of? I can only speculate, and maybe there wasn't a single reason for their LIFETIME clause, but I'm going to guess it has to do with the sources of data used to train chat GPT

Here is a good reason: In-Reply-To is a reference, not content. The recipient(s) of your message might not have that email.

You've got a typo in the Hacker News title. "opeanai" should be openai or preferably capitalized to match whatever brand standards they use.
I skipped around in the book a bit and found it interesting. I’d consider encouraging my kids to learn calculus this way.

However, I am curious about the first paragraph of the preface:

> Julia is an open-source programming language with an easy to learn syntax that is well suited for this task.

Why is Julia better suited than any other language?
If people can "dip their toes" into something and then develop a proclivity towards it, doesn't that imply sexuality is not innate? If it is innate then this is not a concern, and if it is not innate, the prevailing views we have on this topic are going to challenge that conclusion.
I'm surprised to hear that. I think it looks like a straightforward inversion of the light-mode, which you aren't complaining about, and generally, people seem to like it & I see lots of screenshots of it on social media.

I asked a friend who left OpenAI about their experience working there. They said, "I can't complain."
Prior thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40393121

A few questions:

* Is such a non-disparagement clause that claws back your earned compensation legally enforceable, or does it have any legal basis (at least in the state of California)?

* Are non-disclosure agreements enforceable post-employment if you're claiming to be a whistleblower unofficially, i.e. you just go to twitter and rant about your ex-employer?
Once my employer asked us to look over an updated employee handbook. There’s was a bunch of nonsense like “no taking pictures in the office” and “no drinking alcohol in the office”. (The office has kegs in it!)

We called this out and HR was like “it was some template, let me see if I can get it changed” and we went from there.

I dunno if nonsense like that happens at a bigger company like OpenAI but I wouldn’t rule it out, nor would I rule out a CEO not knowing about every detail that HR comes up with.

There's almost 300 RFCs related to DNS. It can do many things, and some of them are complex. But human error is almost always the root cause.

I am very annoyed that even a food scientist put very different food cultures into 'western' food then he meant American diet . European food cultures are way too diverse to even combine it.

And Italian diet has a similar simplistic philosophy. French food does not. Both can keep you slim.
it would make more sense if we subsidized all foods like that, but right now we subsidize a few crops like that.

the food subsidy probably makes sense but not to the degree and bluntness of american policy. one of the instigations of nationwide school lunch was actually to provide a baseline level of demand for farmers and make cycles less severe.

Are stock options "vested equity"? Afaik they're a derivative, and it's surprising to see this exact phrase both in the OpenAI's response to the vox.com article and in sama's tweet. Also, isn't OpenAI using some sort of profit-sharing units instead of options?
I think an important point to consider is whether your product is an intermediate good or a final good. Intermediate goods used as inputs for other software products are a good bet for usage based pricing because it’s easier for your customers to integrate that into their own cost and pricing calculations. Whereas a final good where your customer is the end user, it might make more sense to bill a flat rate subscription so you can charge based on the end user’s perceived value of the product. Tiered subscriptions with usage caps are a good hybrid model since you can ensure your cost of service doesn’t outpace your revenue
The brain is not constant during this process however. It is developing at the same time.
Yes. In fact, IBM created SWT to implement Eclipse.

Ghidra is an example of a large, cross-platform application I use regularly that does use Swing. While it's a terrific reverse engineering tool, its UI leaves at least a little to be desired. Examples, not necessarily Swing's fault:

• Non-native text controls. This is particularly painful on macOS, where Ghidra text controls don't provide access to useful system services (Web search, dictionary look-up, translation, spell check, text-to-speech, sharing, … [it's an extensible list]) and don't honor custom key bindings defined in ~/Library/KeyBindings/DefaultKeyBinding.dict.

• Non-native file open/save and print/page setup dialog boxes.

• Non-native font selection with very limited options: can't choose weights other than standard or bold, can't choose widths (condensed, expanded, etc.), can't choose OpenType stylistic alternatives, etc.

• Per-window menu bars even on platforms where global menu bars are an option (KDE) or standard (macOS). As a consequence, no menu bar search or ability to remap menu item keyboard shortcuts on macOS.

• Other fiddly control differences. For example, on macOS, Option+Right/Left Arrow on a tree view node typically expands/collapses all descendants. On Ghidra, Option+Left Arrow collapses all, but Option+Right Arrow expands only children, with an additional level expanded for each subsequent Option+Right Arrow keypress. While Ghidra's behavior is arguably more useful, it's still inconsistent with platform norms.

• High DPI scaling inconsistent across platforms (works fine by default on macOS, requires fiddling on Windows and Linux).

• No integration with system-provided dark modes.

• No out-of-box support for installation as a native GUI application (macOS app, Windows Start Menu shortcut, Linux .desktop file). To be fair, with the arguable exception of Mac apps, this is out of scope for a GUI toolkit, and I suspect most people in Ghidra's target audience have no problem hand rolling a solution.
That doesn't really work in practise though. No one decided to make smart phones popular. It's something that happened organically because they're useful and fun. We can't really legislate before things get too popular. We can only legislate once things become popular, and even then only if they're proven to be bad enough to warrant legal intervention.

Unless we want a society where people are only allowed the things sanctioned by government, we will always have to accept bad things will happen until we stop them. I think that's ok for most things.
Not that I think speculation is bad, but the concept of intelligences expanding by building space structures so immense needs some push-back:

Is there enough time in the lifetime of a star to build and use those structures?

Are there plausible social arrangements stable enough to last the duration of such a project?

Are there intelligent beings with a drive to limitlessly expand their population?

A lot of the ideas behind hypothesizing swarms of space structures, each orders of magnitude more massive than Earth, feels very 1970s population/energy-crisis inspired.
Yeah, i guess so. I have a 2 storey house and a lot of chores.

> Caches rely on the TTL of records in your zone, or the SOA negative TTL field for negative answers.

Sadly the word "should" ought to have appeared in your sentence.

A lot of resolvers ignore the TTL, either because of the number of misconfigured TTL entries (too short), because they resolve a LOT of names and figure they can't afford to keep looking up certain names, or out of sheer orneryness.

I don't update frequently so when I do plan to make updates I adjust my TTL to a short period, wait a few days, then make the updates, then after a week turn the TTL way up again. I've noticed that this is pointless with some big sites.

We played tag or hide and seek at a school one time after dark. We were probably 16 or 17 since at least some of us could drive by then. Cops called all of our parents and said we'd go to jail if it happened again.

The funniest thing to me was my parents just straight yelling at me about it as my only rule at that time was "don't get in trouble with the cops". I tried explaining it was just tag, the cops were over reacting. They didn't buy it. I told them "I was with Friend A and Friend B. I'm telling you the cops were being ass holes". They immediately changed their tone to "oh, if A and B were there, those cops were ass holes"
While I can identify with the plight, and want to keep my kid as phone-addiction free as possible.. I spent a lot of time using my TI-86 in high school. I got really good at Tetris, learned a bunch of TI-BASIC, and some z80. It was only ever something I did when I was bored/knew I wasn’t missing anything, but I guess I’d be saying the same about using my phone if I was a high schooler today.
Detect sarcasm? Yeah... good luck with that.
This was my immediate reaction as well. The data used to train these systems is inherently really sketchy. And it’s something that any engineer working on it would immediately notice. We certainly did, when building our own models.
Dunno I can’t speak for the program, but it makes sense to me, the way the people the article interviewed talked. $10 or $11 for a week of being clean isn’t going to do much for anyone who doesn’t want to get sober but can be a big deal for those who do.

Without getting into too much detail, this is a road I’ve been down too, tho not with either meth or AA. I think the biggest thing is, sobriety is usually about rearranging your entire life. For most addicts, a huge part, usually a majority, of your life and mental space is ensuring you’ll get your next drink/hit/whatever. Then when you try and quit you suddenly have this void where all the time you spent feeding your addiction, you just have nothing. It’s why so many programs like AA and rehab spend so much time giving alternative structures, until you can stand on your own and organize your own life. That’s why the guy saying that $11 each week kept him going rang really true to me.

As for cost, like every study ever conducted shows the costs of diversion is vastly less than the material and social costs of incarceration. Think about it, for an entire year of peeing clean, the state gives this person $600-ish. Googling tells me that’s about the cost of 2 days incarceration in CA.

edit: there’s some other points I didn’t really address. You can’t really stop someone from falling off the wagon and going on a very dangerous bender, short of actual incarceration (your old tolerance is lower now but you have the same habits so you can easily OD; sadly it’s not uncommon). But that’s not really the most helpful way to think about it. For the people who are trying to use this program to get clean, being treated like an adult and having the ability to structure payments how it works best for you is a good thing. It’s baby steps into self-management and planning.
These ppl make so much $ it's nuts. An address with something like only .2 btc is 14k. By the time youtube removes the video the scam already profited. Repeat everyday 24-7.
That actually makes no sense. You can't use (destroy) energy, you can only run it through processor, which will change it into heat while transistors inside are switching on/off. It is like a water wheel doing work by water flowing through it, but ultimately amount of water before and behind water wheel is same.

Thus the question still stands, what happens to heat in such thing? Does it get recycled by some unknown device? Then it is closed system, you don't need input from outside. It won't get recycled? Then such device needs to get hot from dissipating that heat.
This is a good overview:

The very short story is that it's a language somewhat similar to Python (and, likewise, easy-to-use), but with much richer syntax for expressing mathematics directly.

It also has richer notebooks. The key property is that in python notebooks, you run cells. In julia notebooks, it handles things like dependencies. If I change x, either as a number or a slider, all the dependencies things update. You can define a plot, add sliders, and it just works.

(Also: I'm not an expert in Julia; most of my work is in Python and JavaScript. I'm sure there are other reasons as well, but the two above come out very clearly in similar courses)
The sun burns around 600 million tons of hydrogen per second https://cosmicopia.gsfc.nasa.gov/qa_sun.html
I don't think you building a million new fusion reactors per year so that each of them burns maybe 100kg of hydrogen per year even starts to be comparable in a few thousand years.

The energy emitted by the sun is just several orders of magnitude beyond what you can source from a planet. It's just that huge.
I don’t get it either. I always suspect greed but I’m as puzzled. I don’t see how the headaches, the ethics of screwing people over (and killing them in that case) is so enjoyable that you just don’t know when to quit.

I suspect some people are wired differently and just can’t imagine what to do with their lives unless they’re totally consumed by work.

It also happens at lower levels, grunts in the trenches who constantly bail the company out (often for low pay) and keep doing it over again while giving up their weekends or family time.

I’d love to understand what I’m missing, but I think it’s just one of these things you can’t understand unless you’re personally afflicted by it.
> The difference is probably whether one "beliefs" Elon is beneficial for the world or not.

I don't think he matters that much, good or bad. Yes, I know he's a billionaire, but in practical terms he hasn't done much, especially compared to the other tech moguls like jobs, bezos, gates, zuck, larry/sergy etc. All those others oversaw companies that completely revolutionized life for everyone on the planet. By comparison, Tesla makes really fun luxury cars that most people can't afford, and all his other companies are vaporware besides spacex which has almost no practical impact on people's lives. You could argue starlink has some impact, but for the vast majority of the population that can afford starlink, terrestrial broadband fills their need.
