This is the first time I've read a description of ADHD, even if it's plastered everywhere on the Web, so consider my reaction genuine and not intended to offend: isn't this just a mix of lack of willpower (potentially subconscious, which could explain the "forgetting" part) and ennui/depression?

In french, we have the word "flemme" that can be approximately translated into "laziness", but it's a bit different, because "flemme" is often construed as an enemy within, something you have to fight, and some people have more than others.

Which one would that be? There are 195 countries in the world, and as with most online forums, HN is open (presumably) nearly all of them.
This kind of pot-stirring is against HN rules; it is quite unpleasant to be on the receiving end of such accusations in public. Email your suspicions to the mods, and let them nuke the accounts that are abusive; but let's not sour the flavor of HN for everyone else reading this. The "is that guy secretly a shill" game gets stale *fast*.

Isn't this the point of the previous comment? That the WN thinks they're not out of their depth and can't see that about themselves. So it is an insult from that perspective.

> but in all the social science disciplines I am familiar with there's a great deal of focus on fieldwork and diving into the messy nitty-gritty of the actual world.

Can you give examples?

What I've seen is that questionnaires with high "validity" and "reliability" are put out to participants and then statistical tests are conducted to re-confirm significant results. However, these significant results typically do not mean that the results are practically useful. Maybe on average the results are significant, but the effect is too small to really be able to pick out individuals.
Metadata is very low hanging fruit for document watermarking.
Typically the PDF renderer will use spacing, kerning, invisible
characters, and all sorts of steganography to make each copy unique.
What would be the point of a hash? More likely the hash is a MAC,
that's been salted with some secret plus the unique copy. That would
help the publisher identify a laundered copy. With two or more copies
its possible to re-anonymise. That's actually something I wonder
whether summarising language models would be good at. Of course they
may also make steganographic alterations to diagrams.

Because PDFs are such dirty documents I almost always convert them to
plain text, usually with no loss of semantics.
I consider a shame to read some of you, literally trashing and blaming the whole team after the article.

One thing is to healthly discuss how dangerous can be assuming a GPT-generated code is safe or not. Or how unit tests could identify this (could really in this specific case?). Or why you need oncall shifts and good alerts. But, come on.

I spotted the issue in the code at first sight, but that doesn't make me morally superior, nor smart enough to blame someone to publicly talk about their mistake. It only means I'm currently reading that kind of code a lot, and I know where to look at. Pass me some clever ARM code and I'll be unable to spot even the most superfluous mistake.

It seems HN is crowded by the most smart guys on the planet, who never had dumb mistakes and are SO "quality inclined" they need to blame someone for theirs.

edit: of course, the decision to make it public is questionable, but that's topic for another thread, IMHO.
I don’t find the source of the error being a careless human writing original code without proper review vs a careless human copy/pasting code without proper review to be significantly different.
Nuclear is cheaper than renewables+storage. Europe routinely has periods of 2 weeks with little to no wind across the continent (<10% capacity usage on wind power) during winter, when solar production is abysmal. You'd need batteries to store MONTHS of production, and build massive amounts of solar and wind power plants that would all overproduce at the same time and thus not be profitable in the slightest when they're at capacity.
Hey this seems interesting! How are you doing it?
> People firstly care about migration

Which I find hugely amazing since it's a boogeyman for other actual problems.

Here the migrants are "taking our houses", but if you look at the actual statistics it's not even a drop in the ocean (there are some local variances but nothing significant). The main culprit is 15 years of no significant construction and hand waiving by those who already bought a house.
Right now renewables scale with gas turbines.

Yes, there is some investment in batteries, but due to how the market is structured, they are either equivalent of local large scale UPS, or mainly operate grid frequency stabilization while fossil fuel plants spin up or down (some of the "spin down" support can be also done with modern wind turbines, as they can operate as "sinks" on energy).

Unless we reset the way energy market operates in EU to prioritize dispatchable-but-fossil-free[1], I think we won't see neither proper nuclear resurgence, nor appropriate battery build up.

[1] My personal idea is that we should promote and prioritize sources that offer stable and dispatchable power without emissions. Such conditions would be fulfilled both by nuclear and renewables combined with energy storage, promoting build up of energy storage.
The memory feature was announced at https://openai.com/index/memory-and-new-controls-for-chatgpt... and includes controls for it. It was also described in a popup when entering the chat interface.
If you compare it to transportation it is a bit like flying: its the safest way and it has many other upsides, but when it goes wrong it's usually catastrophic. With nuclear power even more so. When a nuclear accident happens a large area can be rendered uninhabitable for a period longer than the written history of the world. And it is a question of "when", not one of "if". Mistakes, boeing-like profit-maximizing strategies, terrorism, war. A heavy explosive on a nuclear power plant effectively creates a dirty bomb.
I think these arguments shouldn't be wiped under the rug.

> .. by mining bitcoin you invest directly in money creation, that is, there's no hiring people, no new business creation, no research aimed at product development, therefore much less knowledge and by extension a lot less jobs.

IMO your point is somewhat valid, though "no new business creation" is obviously an exaggeration. Every application of some technology (Bitcoin mining, to mention just one aspect, is highly technological, as are other aspects of putting the equipment somewhere and operating it) involves a very deep supply/maintenance chain, which diffuses investments through society, in part local, in part elsewhere.

I would agree that with Bitcoin mining, there may be less local investment in broader ranges of businesses on average, than with many other kinds of investments. But local development of business/society is a complex topic with many many aspects generating all kinds feedback, so it's IMO very hard to make general and yet truthful statements about this.

There's another aspect that comes to my mind: in a way, letting people invest directly in money creation, as you put it, can be a benefit to the environment. How so?
Money being saved instead of being reinvested or spent immediately is effectively people taking their feet off the gas pedal of the economy. As long as the worldwide economy is still > 80 % fossil carbon based (energy wise that is, material wise it might even be more), deceleration should be mostly a benefit for the ecosphere/environment.
You could also ionize particles from the surface of Phobos and then accelerate them so they create a plasma torus along its orbit. This would create a magnetic field but we'll probably already be venturing outside of the solar system by the time we could do it.

I really doubt that battery plants for longer duration storage will be lithium based, something redox-flox based will be the future. But with batteries (especially grid scale, where energy and power density matter much less) there are a multitude of feasible options, some more, some less economic, which means in case of material shortages we can switch in the medium term. I also think hydroelectric storage is an underappreciated opportunity, which, if there is a serious issue with chemical battery supplies, could be reasonably quickly expanded.

It's also silly to use batteries as base load, as is the concept of base load in general in combination of cheap, but non-dispatchable, renwables, which is one of the things that hurts the economics of nuclear plants.
I genuinely disagree with the premise. Bolting generative AI on to its existing offering isn't in Apple's playbook.

If they can genuinely improve their products by the use of these tools, then I expect to see something pretty special. But I doubt you'll see a drop-in Siri replacement using ChatGPT. Apple watched Google try essentially that and get ridiculed.
You can forbid static values and require it to be a function.

> This is the eye opener for me, how is a startup justifying a re-write when they don't even have customers?

In my case (with a real project I'm working on now), it'd be due to realizing that C# is a great language and has a good runtime and web frameworks, but at the same time drags down development velocity and has some pain points which just keep mounting, such as needing to create bunches of different DTO objects yet AutoMapper refusing to work with my particular versions of everything and project configuration, as well as both Entity Framework and the JSON serializer/deserializer giving me more trouble than it's worth.

Could the pain points be addressed through gradual work, which oftentimes involves various hacks and deep dives in the docs, as well as upgrading a bunch of packages and rewriting configuration along the way? Sure. But I'm human and the human desire is to grab a metaphorical can of gasoline, burn everything down and make the second system better (of course, it might not actually be better, just have different pain points, while not even doing everything the first system did, nor do it correctly).

Then again, even in my professional career, I get the same feeling whenever I look at any "legacy" or just cumbersome system and it does take an active, persistent effort on my part to not give in to the part of my brain that is screaming for a rewrite. Sometimes rewrites actually go great (or architectural changes, such as introducing containers), more often than not everything goes down in a ball of flames and/or endless amounts of work.

I'm glad that I don't give in, outside of the cases where I know with a high degree of confidence that it would improve things for people, either how the system runs, or the developer experience for others.

Still mars colony will not be a colony, it will be an outpost.

I dont think we are even close to be able to make it self sufficient.

Self sufficient sounds nice in principle but is way more complicated. You need industry for every single part used to build colony - that is replace everything you rely on.

Soil enrichment, material wear, silicon chips... you need to have uranium mine and processing to sustain energy production.

The scale of the operation is massive. And all done underground.

Not impossible, just unlikely we will ever get there.
which means that it is actually not a good thing :-(
I dont necessarily disagree with you, but there is the safety concerns that need to be addressed for the nuclear energy option to become more acceptable. A nuclear powerplant must be able to explode and not kill a lot of people and render a large piece of the earth uninhabitable. If you solve that for me, then I will wholeheartedly agree with everything you just said.

Speaking of aahimsa, https://i.etsystatic.com/7516795/r/il/67c326/5737917267/il_1... shows that in 1832, the 5e Arrondissement (and therefore the Hôpital Cochin?) bordered fields (the agricultural variety, not the variety with nonzero inverses), so presumably Galois missed his golden hour in the interval between dawn and the farmer's arrival but received treatment (ultimately lasting just about as long as Trotsky?) soon after.

Around here they are non-electable even if they actually had a complete coherent program (which they had a bit more due to joining with a fringe green party), due to the electoral threshold. Fortunately due to the remaining votes system the votes from the PP will very likely go to a party which also votes against the forced chat control though it will not result in them getting another seat.
i kind of like i can make a new chat and it remembers an old one. Because it spits out so many repeated stuff, especially with code - each time re-iterating a whole source part etc., or having tons of docs explanations repeated each time. the chat becomes really slow! a new chat is fast again. if it retains context, that's great :D
From what I have experienced with the national pirate party is an extremely weird mix of a single issue digital rights party, coupled to a far left social activism group.

For obvious reasons such a party doesn't do well. If you want to do left wing social activism, there are much broader, better organized groups and parties available. And if you are a long term employeed member of the middle class, potentially already with a family, the social activism can easily be very unappealing.

Looking at their website you can quickly notice the soft contradictions. How can you have a party which theoretically is pro free-speech, but then the most recent issue on their website is about how people who are mean on the Internet should face legal consequences? (That the site is also broken, doesn't make them look any better)

I do really believe that a single issue digital rights party could do good in the EU parliament. But certainly I wouldn't vote for the Pirate party.

The main problem with the Pirate Party is that they're a one-issue party: even if you agree with what Breyer is fighting for in the EU parliament (I certainly do), it's hard to vote for them when the real world unfortunately has more going on than just digital rights and other parties offer more complete goals on that end.

The world is too much on fire right now to have the luxury of voting for a one-issue party.

> a beached fish doesn't grow legs

Can you prove it? Show me some sort of an environment where a water-based complex organism is able to survive and thrive in dry environment prompting it to grow a new movement organ useless in the water but needed on surface and give me some less-than-exponential algorithmic complexity bound for it. If you can't do it, you don't offer valuable lessons.
You say that as if anyone knows.

From other comments in this thread, it looks like some guy on X solved it in 2018, yet others had no idea, and solved it independently too.

How many others "solved it"? Where is the official record of this? Who really was first? Did someone solve it before 2018? Did more than one party solve it, independently, recently?

Trying to untangle that and be sure, isn't simple.

They covered this by saying many eyeballs solved it, and then went on to their key message, highlighting the importance of archives, and showing how their archive proves the solution is correct.

My point is, pointing an accusatory finger at them, and saying they are trying to take credit is not fair.
I'm sure leaving a fertile land 100 000 years ago, crossing the desert on foot, having most people die in the process, not knowing if they was an end to that sand, felt the same.

Why would you do that?

Two centuries in the future, the benefit of going to mars will be obvious, because we will have progressed and gain things we don't know about now.

That's how humanity works. We try crazy stuff. And a lot of it is stupid, expensive and dangerous. Plus the result is disappointing.

But eventually something pays of big time.

And everybody says of course we should have done it retrospectively.

It's like people asking why we are still making purely theoretical math research. Surely it's no use, and it's expensive.

what’s wrong with ios/safari? i don’t really ever have issues
I have bad news for you. On iOS, Firefox and Chrome use the same WebKit as Safari (because Apple doesn't allow third party browser engines on its App store).
Apple's guidelines are meant to be broken anyway. Bloomberg's app (Bloomberg Professional) is unusable without an account, which is 100% against iOS guidelines, but who cares?

Other big players, such as Amazon, simply negotiate the Apple tax – instead of paying the 30%.

Naturally, Apple doesn't tell you how often and for whom it breaks its rules.
Single issue parties can't live long. They can inject issues into discussion, but they can't grow an d eventually fail and that's not a bad thing. Patrick Breyer made allies in other parties.

Pirate parties in EU have people with very different political views on every other issue.

In Finland it was eventually taken over by weirdos who used the party to push other agendas and others dispersed. Now we have handful of people who take these issues seriously in Greens and at least 1 in left. Two on the National Coalition Party sometimes get it. Its better than it was with the Pirate party.
