I have deliberately not clicked on the link yet. My thought process just based on the title:

1. Okay well maybe the technology was wrong.

2. Or maybe the shoplifter is lying?

3. Surely "my word against yours" in the case of "human vs. computer" is solved by believing the human?

4. Isn't the whole point of this technology to catch humans who lie?

5. Then surely, if it's a shoplifter, there is video footage and that will clear up the issue.

6. But what if there isn't footage. What if it's just an AI that's detected someone as a shoplifter based on their face?

7. The technology for this is really mature, now I'm inclined to believe the computer.

8. But what about the guy? (Yay, gender assumption based on the word "shoplifter")

9. Well, in order to believe him I would want to understand why the AI was wrong.

10. Oh, the whole thing with AI in many contexts is that YOU CAN'T KNOW THIS.

11. This is why people care about understanding how AI makes decisions and have serious reactions to technology that just "magics" a decision out of thin air, even when it's the right one this time.

12. But what about the guy?

Well, I've just newly understood some things about the social impacts of pervasive AI. Time to read the article.

Lol. Do you really doubt this? Have you been out in the world recently? It's become a major problem in the schools. It can be done discretely, much like nicotine vapes, in a way that is impossible for smoked cannabis or smoked tobacco.

Ask HN: What ChatGPT prompt do you use to avoid code-writing hallucinations?
I use ChatGPT to write tutorials for a Python.

I often find myself debugging great-looking code that makes up methods or functions.

This especially true when instructed to use somewhat niche libraries.

Is there a specific prompt technique you use to avoid hallucinations when writing code?
Maybe USA prodded them.

Canada doesn’t seem to be getting the increasing hostility towards the west as quickly as their big brother to the south and that’s a bit of a security hole I’m sure the USA is keen to address.
I think this would have done a lot better with some specific, positive examples of proper technique and moves, and less of “all of you are morons and only I know the truth.”

This was cool. Still not sure what sword fighting is but it's cool.
Well good for you, but some people couldn't get the fancy stuff and didn't mind and actually liked the "dirt weed" and are sad it can no longer be gotten for love or money. You can't even grow your own either because in many of the legal states, it's still illegal to grow but legal to buy from a large cannabis corporation. What a boring dystopia and not at all what the punky hippy "LEGALIZE IT" types of yore can possibly have had in mind!
Don't rely on this for any kind of interlocking or complex logic. They will get into an inconsistent/broken state sooner or later.

I believe the "how long since a state change" only starts counting from the state change and within the same session. If the server restarts, the counter stops and will restart from scratch only from the next state change.

This means if an automation relies on such timers to reset itself back to its idle state, a server restart will forever leave it in that state.

Automations are nice for quick one-off actions but for anything that lasts more than a few seconds I'd suggest looking for alternatives. Something as complex as managing multiple devices with interdependent states is way too complex and is bound to go wrong even if you actually manage to express it in an automation (and don't give up because of the absolutely awful automation editor UI).

Home Assistant is great as a proxy/aggregator to connect many different devices/protocols and expose them under a single, consistent API, but it's terrible at logic. For any kind of complex task I'd suggest making a stand-alone app that interacts with the Home Assistant API to observe device states and control them.

I remember reading in the past, mainly for samurai fights, there wasn't really much back and forth, you would hit your enemy once or twice and it would be over. This whole trading blows kind of thing was mostly bullshit to sell movies as actual fights wouldn't be very interesting as they would usually end very quickly.

My hair doesn’t look presentable at all if I don’t clean it in morning. It gets all greasy and dark (I have blond thin hair). I never saw an Asian with that problem before, they can just wake up, wash their face, and walk out.

On the other hand, before I visited China, I never imagined getting so dirty that I needed to shower before bed, or I would be rolling in dirt. The dirt really gets on you in dusty Beijing. It wasn’t what I was used to from the states at all.

Why not go the Uber route. Both the seller and buyer get rated for each interaction. Enforce a little bio about the seller.

Then a small maker can quickly establish a good reputation, and cautious buyers can only buy from such, while more adventurous might take a punt on someone new. The open market needs information to be efficient; it looks like lack of reliable information is the root of this.

But they’re not.

My colleagues and I use them every single day. My favourite shell still wasn’t written.

Besides a web browser, there simply isn’t yet as powerful a piece of software for making a computer do anything.

> Something with a real language instead of bash

sh is a real language. It’s command-based programming. An example of a more programmy variant of this paradigm is TCL (Toolkit Command Language) with its tclsh: command languages are excellent for short, frequently used stuff, and then they get worse fast.

So maybe I could qualify “real” a bit: something that is just as ergonomic for frequent stuff, but which does not get progressively worse as it veers into actual programming.

> and where all the little programs that make a currently terminal work are libraries that can be used as a function or as a standalone program.

Have you tried UNIX? It’s literally that!

I do agree it could be improved; for example, piping around structured data is not trivial; it got better with jq, but it’s not native to POSIX.
> Finally, Altman’s admiration is also a bit puzzling in that the AIs don’t ever really do anything amazing for society, even while they’re here.

I think a lot of black sheep personalities feel like this, pretty safe and smug in calling all the patterns we see in others that make them not right for us. And we know too much of ourselves will try their patience too, which makes us resent their love as a thin weak thing.

>lots of reasons but I'm the constant

Sad face. I don’t know if admitting this helps or hurts, but a long while ago when I kept seeing your username on so many of my favorite comments i thought about emailing you to flirt, but the more I kept reading thru to look for hints (to confirm that ur straight, not married, etc ) the more I psyched myself out… In sober assessment, I likely wouldn’t meet your standards of, like… spiritual vigor, agency, having ones adult shit together, strength of character in a flailing sham society, etc. You already seemed too complete an image on your own. It creates admiration for sure, but in a way that challenges me to get to your level rather than come closer…

Resonating with someone’s deep judgements of the world also means I can’t fall short or claim ignorance later, there’s less room to play. “I agree with everything this guy finds virtuous yet i lack these qualities even after all this time… sigh, better just go work on becoming my best self…“

Catch22, if I already was my ideal self would I still be attracted to philosophical types on hn? (I kinda hate this place ngl)

Not sure if any of us with these dispositions really want another human up close or if that ‘trying’ is just part of the aesthetic if I’m honest with myself.

Anyway, if u want to talk to a misanthropic fangirl, my username is LimeOregano on Telegram, and when you’re in the woods and very lonely, you can feel free to send me ponderous voice notes without overthinking this polite distance that you’re obliged to maintain with real friends. We can ghost each other if the long tail of negative interaction proves too much!

(Afterall, if you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the results of getting your hopes up 100 times lol)

Regardless, i hope youre flattered to know that some strangers like you based on the quality of your thoughts alone

> I wonder if something similar happened around the start of the telephone and telegraph

As Marshall McLuhan famously wrote "The medium is the message". He also coined the term 'information overload' in the 60s when talking about the uptake of radio and television. Ever since the printing press, regular people have been gaining access to information at increasing volume, and not only those of means. However, the particular medium of the internet changed the means of accessing, generating and interacting with information and communicating other people. What McLuhan was pointing out by "The medium is the message" is that every medium has its own flavor, and it's own particular impact on society.

And for the internet it hasn't just been one impact: the rise of email and mailing lists, chat applications, internet-wide keyword search, social media, smartphones and apps, dating apps, AirBnB, Uber.. the fabric of social order is being disrupted again and again by the internet in a manner exceptional to other media. Sometimes it's even hard to see what changes have taken place. To take one example, the rise of dating apps has had a real impact on the profits and kinds of late night venues.

So, to bring back to my earlier point, social media had an impact that changed how we communicate. It was certainly very visible to me at the time. I think in particular with ICQ, it provided a means for strangers to meet and fostered connections outside of our respective bubbles, and for that I remember it fondly, and also worry a bit more about our world as it becomes more fragmented and isolated along social borders.

They have detailed instructions on how to install Anaconda.

Once done with this training your young relative won't have any issue registering and creating an account with any given AI provider and making API calls.

There's a lot underneath your comment.

For instance, when you buy something and get a receipt - it is not for you the customer. It is to keep the employee honest. If there is no receipt, it might not have been entered into the cash register.

Now with electronic payments a lot of this risk has gone away and receipts are becoming optional.

Also, I remember some people telling me in their stores, the last digits of a product were secret code. Like ending in .23 (i made this up) meant the product was being discontinued and only stock on hand was available. There were other codes for other things.

> Should shoplifting once mean that a person is banned from all stores that use this service for life?

I mean, it depends, right? Barred from buying any groceries for stealing a candy bar is obviously wrong… but if you walk out the door with a five-figure watch you didn’t pay for, I’m happy for you to be banned from Rolex shops for life, yeah.
Thanks! I've used the trick and derived why it works a few times, but always forget.

I battled to understand the post. Your explanation got me there very quickly.
Sanity and porn consumption are not intrinsically linked, if history is any guide.
I think it’s a little over-analysis as well. Khan Academy makes Khan-migo, named after the founder Sal Khan. Khan is a very common last name.
Up until the last couple of centuries most countries didn’t have any sort of pro-active policing, beyond posting a bounty or a wanted notice. Unless you were caught red handed it was up to private citizens - thief takers, bounty hunters, or the aggrieved victims and family - to attempt to apprehend wanted criminals.
Thanks for clarifying. This makes tons of sense.
Hi, this is exactly the problem we’re trying to solve with https://Careera.AI

Careera is an automated platform for job matching between companies and job seekers, providing end-to-end recruitment automation.

The are NO JOB APPLICATIONS and NO CV FILTERING by the company.

Job seekers only need to register on the platform, and upload their CV, which is then parsed via AI to speed up onboarding. Every few days, the platform sends quizzes/tests to build the user’s psychometric profile.

Companies create richer job postings on the platform.

Based on hundreds of data points, the platform pre-matches both sides automatically and anonymously, guaranteeing a good relative match.

Companies are proposed candidates and can see only basic information, excluding name, race, religion, ethnicity, or physical appearance.

When both sides hit “LIKE,” they can contact each other and proceed with the interview process.

Companies must process up to a maximum of 10 proposed candidates and cannot ghost any candidate. Only then can the platform propose more candidates.

The platform is currently in the pilot stage.
We would greatly appreciate community feedback.
Thanks!
Yeah, okay, this sounds great until the point where I have a company with people that must eat, APIs that aren't free etc. and I look around and I see wikipedia is doing more than fine financially, has ads, morphed itself into three distinct properties in my niche (wikipedia, fandom, subdomain.fandom.com/inmyniche.html) that all take up precious google slots with almost the exact same content, and now you are asking for additional handouts to be given to this ex-pornographer Jimmy Wales.

Wikipedia won over competitors because Jimmy Wales honed his marketing tactics from years of being a pornographer. Not because of any inherent strength of the wikipedia platform. In fact those first articles on wikipedia were all horrible and far worse than the other online encyclopedias if you remember. Wikipedia's success was mostly due to good timing, good governance and great SEO.

And btw it is hysterical some think HN is non-profit. Sure, perhaps technically. But this is exactly why I think we are doomed. If even the self-proclaimed guardians of the internet (ala the IT Crowd) cannot grasp the simple concept that HN is as astroturfed (if not more) than reddit there is simply no hope for the internet as a whole to understand these concepts. So long and thanks for all the phishing attempts.

Definitely agreed with the message needing some work. There are plenty of ARMA videos out there though that show what they do if you're interested. HEMA is the other term to look for. Apparently the ARMA guy in the referenced article doesn't have the best reputation according to this

I've done a small amount of fencing and all three swords (foil, epee, saber) have been so sportified as to be absolutely meaningless. It is good exercise, but feels pretty distant from any form of actual swordfighting and there are lots of rules that don't make a lot of sense to me. HEMA seems pretty cool as a more realistic alternative.
For an alleged expert in sword fighting, this post is awfully short on details. I’ll note that the overwhelming majority of combat in premodern history is not one-on-one, and is instead between teams in a formation (typically each of whom have shields in addition to their weapons).

Bret Devereaux (oft featured on HN) recently finished up a series on the Roman and classical Hellenistic tactical systems; for a view of an army doing sword-based combat, check here [1].

The given symbols match the way the vowels represented are pronounced in at least some dialects/accents of English; one problem with trying to do a new phonetically-accurate writing system for English is that English has lots of dialects and accents, and pronunciation (even relatively—like which parts of words match which parts of other words) isn't consistent between them.

My point is that when you have it configured the usual way, you can type "2 + 2 =" in the address bar and get the result. Which, you know, is sort of convenient. Or "weather mountain view ca", or whatever.

If you change your default search to udm=14, you lose that. Sure, you can click around on the now-useless results page to get back to standard Google and get the answer, but that's friction that wasn't there before. The parameter doesn't just kill the AI stuff.
Also, I felt this implies the proper-historically-correct-techniques are much better than the wrong-modern-impression-techniques, and would win in combat.

Makes sense, but it would be cool evidence to see simulated combat to test this.
