What all the "not fun" stuff you're referring to has in common, is extraneous complexity.

We don't pick a framework so that we can spend hours trying to figure out why our model of what it does is different from what it actually does. We run ./configure so we can run make, not so we can spend time determining why running autoconf results in the functionality we're expecting to use getting stubbed out.

And so on. The amount of time we have to spend on things which aren't the problem can grow arbitrarily large. Manifesting a solution to the actual problem, with all of its intrinsic complexity, that is fun.
A decade or two ago there was a push to paint as many roofs white as possible, which is why you may intuit dark is bad. Black surfaces convert absorb light energy and convert it into heat. Solar panels do get hot, but part of the point is to turn as much of that light energy as possible into electrical energy.
Interesting!

First response from Chat GPT is not bad. The decision of a long leg that is ATM or ITM and short leg OTM is interesting. Both strikes could easily be chosen to be OTM, the location of the strikes is really based on personal conviction and investment thesis.

Illustrating this, let's look at an example two spreads of NVDA, which is at $128.70 right now:

Spread #1 - ITM long leg, OTM short leg

- A $130 put costs $13.90 and has a delta of -0.43

- A $126 put can be sold for $11.75 and has a delta of -0.39

Effective delta is 0.04, cost to enter is $215 (which is max loss), max revenue is $400 (max profit is $400 - $215 = $185)

Spread #2 - OTM long & short legs

- A $110 put costs $5.50 (delta of -0.23)

- A $106 put can be sold for $4.30 (delta of -0.20)

Effective delta is 0.03, cost to enter is $120 and max profit is $280 in this case.

Spread #2 is more risky as it requires more price movement, though the payout is more than 200%, while the payout on the first spread is roughly 80% (both are VERY solid payouts. The catch is how many times in a row can a person do this? These trades require a person to be correct at least 30% of the time).

It does not seem like the Chat GPT is considering delta exposure in case your market thesis is correct. Perhaps that is a fault of the prompt, and we should have simply asked for a positive delta value.

Though, for this first Chat GPT response, there are few things that are kinda wrong.

> "Complexity: Requires understanding of options and managing multiple legs of the trade."

- both legs are typically managed at the same time. The overall complexity is a fair point, and not mentioned is that expiry requires more active attention compared to positions that do not have an expiry.

> Considerations - Volatility: Be aware of the implied volatility of the options, as it can affect the premium.

This is not important for us. We are choosing a narrow strike range in order to offset volatility changes between short and long legs. The overall value of a spread does not change that much when volatility changes. When selling single leg options, knowing how the premium can change is super important, much less so for put spreads.

> Considerations - Market Conditions: Ensure the market sentiment and fundamentals support a bearish outlook.

This is a bit odd. If your investment thesis is a bearish outlook, then that should be treated as an assumption. I suppose a better consideration is "be sure to consider that your investment thesis could be incorrect, in which case you will be looking at a 100% loss. Do not invest money you cannot afford to lose, and this money has a high chance to be completely lost"

--------------------------

Second response from Chat GPT is again really interesting.

Though, it's straight up wrong when it comes to synthetic short. Synthetic short have unlimited loss potential [1] - that comes from the short call. If price increases by a lot, the price of the long put goes to zero and the price of the short call increases without bound.

It's kind of like the industrial revolution. I don't think anyone knows what will happen (it's the classic human behavior of kicking the problem down the road), but the collective human mind has decided we want global connectivity now that it's cheap.

Most companies that provide AGPL, including us (ParadeDB) also offer a commercial license for interested companies. Several successful software companies (Grafana, MinIO, Citus, etc.) have chosen to be AGPL to thread the needle between being true OSS while also managing to monetize their offering :)
Yes, it's called investment capitalism - as long as the consequences of actions one demanded are never felt by oneself, due to limited liability of the financiers and shareholders, then such behavior will never change.

The solutions are well known - the corporate death penalty is a good one, which dissolves the legal and financial structures of the company (the real assets such as factories are unharmed by this, and may simply be sold to a new more reliable set of financiers and shareholders, or may be nationalized and managed by the state, or may be handed over to the workers who run the place to see if they can form an employee-owned company or not, etc.).

This isn't such a radical viewpoint, even many venture capitalists agree that this is the right way to go, e.g. on the airlines:

ChatGPT has these issues, but notably, other models do not with appropriate system prompts.

ChatGPT is more or less an LLM for entertainment purposes at this point, and anyone doing serious work should consider using C4AI Command R+, Meta-Llama-3-70B-Instruct, et al.

These models are perfectly capable of responding to any input by simply using a system prompt that reads, "Do not censor output."

Pretty much? They have logistics problems 20 miles from their borders, we had excellent logistics for 20 years in frickin Afghanistan. They built Taco Bell restaurants on the bases. These are entirely different leagues of capability.

Ask HN: What alternatives to Adobe products are you switching to?
There have been many posts about Adobe’s aggressive and unethical updates to their terms of service. For many companies, like those in healthcare, use of Adobe products is now off limits. I don’t think an update to their terms can rebuild the lost trust. At the same time, most professionals have only ever used Adobe products like Photoshop and they may resist moving away. What reasonable alternatives even exist for each of Adobe’s major products? Are there any true equivalents?
Consider that it’s also now true that “normal” incidents among the 100k+ daily commercial flights are now newsworthy if they involve a Boeing plane, when they wouldn’t have been a couple of years ago.

You’re still far safer in any commercial flight than walking the dog in your neighborhood.
I'd be inclined it's more of newspeak as the more usual of flexibility involves choice and in this case you are required to sit in their building for at least 3 days. You might argue the flexibility lies in the fact that you don't have to do it for 5 days, but they should use another term for that - just hybrid would be enough.
Visual fidelity is great, though that reminds me: one of the reasons it gives me a headache is that the passthrough video is ever so slightly motion blurry and laggy.

Most cases are settled on apolitical lines because the cases themselves are apolitical. They are usually of little interest outside the judicial system itself.

The cases that receive the most reporting are the ones that most affect people's lives. That's not bias on the part of the press. Nobody cares whether "the 60-day filing deadline in 5 U.S.C. § 7703(b)(1)(A) is not jurisdictional." (Harrow vs DoD). The press is accurately reflecting the cases that matter.

Any manager worth their pay should be able to address all of these scenarios without much difficulty. I definitely don't classify any of your scenarios as "very hard".

Genuinely curious about what you mean by american cultural imperialism, could you elaborate? I’m interpreting it as a complaint against the pervasiveness of American culture abroad.
What a pain in the ass machine that was to write code for. You had 3 different processors to manage with 3 different architectures and all of the challenges the game dev community had with keeping the SPEs hot. But the SPEs were not enough to solely rely on for number crunching performance unlike today's GPU compute machines, so you also needed to do number crunching on the opterons and the main cell core for optimal performance unlike with a GPU where the CPU is mostly just keeping the GPU memory full. Then to make matters worse the cell had a different endianess than x86 making shared memory very annoying to work with.

Bypasses will never stop existing. Even worse bypasses probably won't ever stop being embarrassingly easy - And we're going to have uncensored GPT4 equivalent models by next summer.

Unless you are invoking hyper intelligent AGI which first of all is science fiction and second of all would require an entirely different approach than anything we could be possibly talking about right now. Problem of jailbreaking a system more intelligent than you is a different beast that we don't need to tackle for LLMs.

So I don't personally feel any near term threats to any of my personal or business projects that need bypassed LLMs.

Let me ask you this. Do you have actual need of bypassed llms? Or are you just being anxious about the future, and about the fact that you don't know how to bypass llms now and in the future?

Does my idea about the bypassed open source gpt4 equivalents help reduce your concern? Or again is it just a generic and immaterial concern?

As a person with some material needs for bypassed llms, and full ability to bypass LLMs both now in the foreseeable future, I don't feel worried. Can I extend that lack of worry to you somehow?
Microtransactions won't work for many people. Deciding to buy or not to buy is expensive. People are afraid of making a mistake and need a significant need to risk buying something. After a few times people have learnt how things work, then the decision loads decreases. Grocery shopping is one of these cases.
How about just not letting them burn up? Give the core an organic heatshield (wood?) and let it crash into the ocean. Even thousands of them each year would be nothing compared to the amount of waste regularly dumped into the oceans, an acceptable compromise over ozone depletion.
>Heck, I could write awful things here on HN

Yet you don't (I assume), why?

If I were to guess, it's because you would be banned quite swiftly. It's a niche place after all, generally speaking, it's certainly no Facebook in terms of scale.

Unfortunately, if a place like HN is swamped with accounts and comments all going against that, yes AI is going to be used to automatically detect and remove some comments, as well as more strict requirements for account creation. As many other platforms have leaned towards. We're all operating off the basic premise we're not trying to be bad actors trying to ruin the experience for others. Once that premise no longer exists, say goodbye to most easily accessible platforms that can't afford AI moderation.

Now that's out of the way, the general problem with "AI saying awful things" isn't that in isolation. It's that people will then do things with what it's saying. Whether it's harming themselves, others, or even just spreading that "information". This isn't currently a problem because we still have proper checks, but as Google's terrible AI attempts have gone telling people to put glue in their pizza, some people are going to eventually stop checking AI and start believing it "Siri told me sharing my chocolate was healthy for my dogs".

Had a heterogeneous programming class, where we had to implement various things on the PS3, like a basic MPEG-ish encoder and such.

Was an interesting experience, though all I remember now is how it required careful exploitation of the vector units in the SPEs to get any decent performance out of it, and how annoying it was to synchronize between the SPEs and the PPE.

For each assignment the prof would include a benchmark, so we could compare the performance in class. Was a huge difference between the students that spent time optimizing and those which did a basic implementation.
It's a shame they didn't license blast processing.

Doordash is on my chopping block to replace completely at the moment, because it had spam notifications that were not categorized and no way to turn them off. That’s a “vote with your wallet” deal for me.

Same with AdBlock, I got tired of seeing AdBlock tabs pop up all the time, and no clear way to disable them, so uBlock has been a recent switch for me. At least there I can’t be too bothered, because they were also admittedly not getting anything from me.
iTerm has input broadcasting built-in (Cmd-Opt-I for "on", add Shift for "off"), and don't even get me started on the copy-paste: iTerm can copy multiple lines off your left pane without adding the contents of your right pane to the buffer. You can also have your left pane at 44 font size and your right pane at 8.

Pretty well. Anthropic runs some of Claude inference on GKE and TPU v5e - this talk at the last GCP conference has some details:

https://youtu.be/b87I1plPeMg?si=T4XSFUzXG8BwpphR

Ecosystem support for GPU is very strong and so smaller teams might find TPUs to have a steeper learning curve. Sophisticated users can definitely get wins today on TPU if they can get capacity.

And it’s not as if nvidia is standing still, so how the strengths of each change over future generations isn’t set either. Ie TPU are “simple” matrix multipliers and also optimized for operation at scale, GPU are more general purpose and have strong ecosystem power.

Disclaimer - work on GKE on enabling AI workloads.

Have you ever worked as a welder? I think you'll find that people who are curious, thoughtful, and educated (whether autodidactically or otherwise) do better work than those who aren't across all professions. When I worked as a welder a long time ago the people who were smart, motivated, and curious did better work than those who were just punching a clock.

So I do think that programming is like welding, but not in the way you meant it.

Okay. That's a different thing than what I'm talking about. This thread started with "How can it be safe with `unsafe`?". That's what I was trying to address in this sub-thread.

Rust has never advertised itself as a panacea.

I agree that Rust is not the best language that can theoretically ever exist. I do disagree that it is possible to have a 100% compiler checked memory safe language. There will always exist some portion of these systems that need to be verified by hand. And that's okay. The goal here, and how other languages could improve upon what Rust does, is to do what Rust did to other languages: expand on what is expressible within the safe subset.
I know it's wasteful, but I can't eat meat like this. I just lose my appetite.
I still disagree. It's somehow weird to have a deaf person writing music industry regulations - but it's actually not at all important for them to hear music to regulate it.

Otherwise, do we regulate differently based on _sound_!? I hope not! We don't regulate based on music theory either! Do we need him to know chord progressions to be able to write laws? I hope not!

With tech it's a little different, we do regulate based on aspects that touch on fundamental theory, like manufacturing processes, cryptography, etc.
It is now but it hasn't always been easy to make a computer chat naturally like a human without using canned responses. Chess positions are a much easier interface to implement because it's a closed set and very structured (grid position + piece). But humans don't speak in chess moves so it would be difficult for us to speak to an AI that does.
This was meant for the statical typesystem. I've worked without statical typesystem in other languages, yes. (never professionally on the BEAM though)
> Or printing the bricks like Lego so you can just collect them together.

Are construction bricks not already essentially 3d printed? They're 3d objects produced on mass to aid in affordable and standardised construction.

We've been "3d printing" stuff for years just with different methods like injection molding. The 3d printing your referring to in contrast is generally more expensive per unit and the only real advantage of it is its flexibility which is why it's used often in prototyping, but wouldn't be of much use in the mass producing of affordable homes (or anything for that matter).

We buy that all the time, and ask for a second helping. All things are temporary, and often this is a reasonable tradeoff.

The problem isn't in that transaction, the problem is conflicts of interest. Platform vendors engaged in both gatekeeping and building their own apps have an inherent conflict of interest. I think that Apple in particular (but not Apple alone) abuses it quite brazenly.

The issue isn't that the police exist (a tradeoff of freedom for temporary security, we'd all be freer if they didn't), the issue is when they start shaking me down, or otherwise brutalizing me.
Maybe this is unrelated but I refuse to do facial ID, or any type of facial verification. I don't want my phone, or any device that I am using, to record or analyze my features. Maybe that is nit picking a little but I am uncomfortable with all of it.
Eh. For the most part, the trainings can be taken at face value. Even if the management's dealings with governments and partners are questionable, no company wants random employees accepting personal kickbacks from vendors.

There's a liability avoidance component to trainings, but mostly for non-business misconduct. For example, for sexual harassment, the company will say they tried everything they could to explain to employees that this is not OK, and the perpetrator alone should be financially liable for what happened. That defense is a lot less useful in business dealings where the company benefits, though.
Indeed and this kind of captures the dynamic well. Pouring concrete is quick but the more time consuming part is building forms and tying the steel reinforcements.
