So, I'm a professor, and I have, um, really strong opinions about this. :-) Perhaps too strong and long for the current forum. But I'll see if I can be brief.

ChatGPT is really, really good at providing solid answers of varying levels of detail and complexity to hyper-common questions such as those used in problem sets. This is one part of the skill set of a tutor, and it's a valuable one.

When I interview TAs for my classes, however, I actually put a lot more emphasis on a different skill: The ability to get into a student's head and understand where their conceptual difficulty or misunderstanding is. This is a very different skill, and it's one that ChatGPT isn't as good at, because we've gone from "maximum likelihood answers from questions that are in the middle of the distribution" into a wide range of possible sources of confusion, which the student may lack the words to explain in a precise way.

In the case of my kid, the PV=nRT question manifested as "I don't get it!" (with more exclamation points).

Asking ChatGPT (well, copilot, since I have institutional access to that, but it uses ChatGPT) to help understand the problem: It digressed and introduced Boyle's Law, threw in a new symbol "I" (ok, the 12 year old) had never seen for "proportional to", and ... in some sense just added to the cognitive overload.

The human approach was to ask a question: Have you ever seen this equation before? (No)
Oh! Well, let's talk a little about gases..

Now, responding to ChatGPT and asking "No, that didn't help. Please ELI5 instead?" actually produced a much better answer: An analogy using a balloon. Which, amusingly, is exactly how I explained the behavior of gases to her.

But even here, there's a bit of a difference: In explaining it to her, I did so socratically:

"Ok, so imagine a balloon. If you heat the air inside the balloon, what happens?"

"Um, it gets bigger, right?"

"Yup, ..." (and now, knowing that she got that part, we could go on...)

That's something you can absolutely imagine trying to program around an LLM, but it's not a native way of interacting with it.

So ... I'd instead be a little more cautious here and say that ChatGPT potentially provides a really useful piece of what a human tutor offers, but it loses on the interactive exchange that helps much more rapidly zoom in on the source of confusion and correct it. Assuming that it's right.

I think that for a particularly sophisticated consumer, it can be more valuable, but it requires knowing what you don't know, in some sense: The ability to already isolate what you're confused by. Once you know the question to ask, ChatGPT can often provide it -- again, assuming that some quirk of its training or your phrasing doesn't cause it to generate an answer that's wrong in some way.

So interesting, I'd never considered Di2 being attackable but it makes sense.

The ability to jam a gear shift or enact a gear shift near a finish line or a major climb could become a massive problem, particular due to the fact that fans are allowed to get very close to riders.

If not fixed top teams may decide to require Di2 to have the cabling put back on the gear shifting so it's still electric but just performed via cabling.
I'm sure it isn't so stressful that they're quitting in large numbers for less stressful roles.
Because it’s mostly not useful? I feel like people have some nostalgia for “the news.” But consider your own industry. How many people find tech industry news coverage useful and informative? Why does anyone think the coverage is better for anything else?
Surprisingly, there aren't that many. When I started, I thought I would catch my email address being resold. The only reseller has been Democrat politicians or funding sites like Go Blue. The other one is Engagez, which is some kind of tech vendor expo I signed up for with some meetup event.

The most widely spread breached address is LinkedIn by a wide margin. Houzz is second. Zynga, Imgur are also in contention.

When I started getting porn spam from the Diver's Alert Network, I alerted them to a breach. They misunderstood and just told me how to change my password.

The most annoying thing is that I found my personal robert@ email address is HIBP under the evite breach. I so jealously guard my personal address. A well meaning friend invited me to something with evite. And that's all it took.
Lord have mercy. I work with colorspaces. They are the bane of anyone's existence who is trying to do real photo or video work. Your article is terrifying.

How do we bring this to the attention of the people working on these decoders and renderer pipelines?

I feel like I should re-run your experiments with photos now, especially taking into account the unusual colorspaces used there, like XYB:

Multiple companies have Apple M1 level RISC-V cores designed and announced and ready for chip makers to license, including Akeana which came out of stealth mode a couple of days ago.

It only remains for someone to design these cores into an SoC, manufacture it, and get it onto boards and into the market, a process that typically in the past has taken around 3-4 years but may be accelerating. Keep an eye out around 2026-2027.

Meanwhile, we'll have early Core i3/i5/i7 level performance in RISC-V SBCs by this time next year (the manufacturer is saying Q1, but I don't quite believe that), but with a lot more cores. That's leapfrogging over Pi 5, Rock 5, Orange Pi 5, which is already a pretty usable machine.
Wait, can you explain this? I don't understand it at all.
Try reading what Renaissance humanists actually wrote about magic — like Pico, Ficino or Porta. ChatGPT can help you explore. It is a lot more complicated than you portray.
Ah you must be referring to /dev/nullDB?
I guess I should post...something. Lack of relevancy. I don't watch the news, don't even watch the weather, I don't vote or care about politics, I don't listen to the radio in the car, I went years without even looking at Hacker News, don't use reddit outside of work-related subs, don't use facebook, or other social media. I don't even use youtube except when I want to see some highlight video of Iverson or Pippen or a player soccer highlight (but not match recaps), or the occasional music of an artist stuck in my head. Why would I? The news isn't going to mow my yard, politics won't change a single thing about my life which couldn't be changed through more hard work. There is just nothing in the news for me. I suspect this feeling will continue to grow sharply with the youngest generation (I'm mid thirties personally but my teenage daughter has shared her classmates feel apathetic towards current events etc).

What years ? Even in the 80s and a good deal of the 90s, many people got and shared newspapers. They were everywhere. I remember them being 15, 25, 50 Cents through the years.
I love NPR but to believe NPR is not biased reporting is completely delusional.
Ask HN: Is Post-Quantum Crypto necessary already?
I stopped following the quantum computing after reading hype about systems in the late 2010’s that had qubits that didn’t match the requirements for BQP. Looking around now though, I’ve started seeing concerns for both symmetric keys and asymmetric keys.

For asymmetric, I’ve seen recommendations to sign messages via both PQC and classical crypto simultaneously. Shor’s style algorithms are expected to break classical crypto once big machines exist.

For symmetric, I’ve seen concerns that 128-bit keys are insufficient, given the effective key halving from Grover’s algorithm.

This seems surprising:
Are we even vaguely close to stable BQP-style quantum computers with enough effective qubits (compensating for the cost of error correction) that they can operate on, say, 4096 bit RSA keys?

Are we even vaguely close to machines with high enough clock rates to burn through 64-effective-bit keys? I guess for symmetric, birthday paradox might halve the key size again (in some situations), and 2^32 is “small”. Is that the concern?
Modernization will never happen. Build a new parallel system, and all new taxpayers become part of it. Then migrate anyone who is young and uncomplicated.

Let the old system die when the last taxpayer using it dies.
The insurance is mandated, and the focus is more on guaranteed benefits to the victims than on fairness for the people paying them.

If you can't afford to pay for the damages you caused, that's your problem. You took the risk, and now you face the consequences. There is no reason to make the insurance mandatory to prevent that. But if the victim doesn't get any compensation because you can't afford to pay, that's a public problem. Now there is a reason to make the insurance mandatory, and it's particularly important that the riskiest drivers have insurance. If you make it too expensive for them, they may choose to drive without insurance. Which is exactly what you wanted to avoid in the first place.

Likely outsourced call centers since call complexity is low to medium. We also expect rapid adoption in industries like customer service, healthcare, and retail, where 24/7 availability could be high-impact for businesses and convenient for consumers!
Until people start leaving (and not joining) these companies en masse that have poor and hypocritical leadership, none of this will change.
Creatine is one of the very few supplements that seems to have only upsides and few if any side effects (except the basically obligatory "minor stomach upsets for some people" ). You can take it every day at any time of day, the effects take a few weeks to build up.

The main downside is that the effects are small - most of the research is in strength and endurance training and it seems like at most there's a 5-10% increase in lifting endurance (IIRC, it's been a while since I researched this).

It's one of a very few supplements that I personally feel should be generally taken by most people (unless you eat a lot of red meat).

The others are omega 3 (unless you eat fish several times a week) and possibly magnesium as the western diet tends to be low in that.

If you want to read more about effects of creatine on the brain this is a good paper:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7916590/

The consensus seems to be that supplementation of creatine is less clearly linked to increases in the brain than it is for muscle (although there have only been limited studies done), however, if you've ever suffered from depression, sleep deprivation or other neurological issues it's likely to be beneficial. For people without those issues, there's less evidence yet, but they would still get the benefit of more energy overall if not specifically more cognitive energy.
FAFO: F*ck Around and Find Out
I think this skill could save time in a very rushed business environment.

A while back I wrote a prompt to build a script that runs git-reflog to get a the list of distinct authors. After a few small tweaks I got it roughly working. This took about 1 hour. Writing it myself would have definitely taken multiple hours, especially having to learn the details of git-reflog.

But that said I think it's mainly resume-building. ChatGPT isn't going to overall transform our productivity.

Plus classifieds, that was a big revenue stream for them too.
Fwiw, I feel the same.

What annoys me the most about NPR is the relentless gaslighting. They act / speak as if they don't have an agenda (i.e., bias) and the rest of us are too stupid to see it. There's a smug "we didn't say X or Y" attitude but the problem is the questions they don't ask, the subtle ins and outs they pretend don't exist. Their news feels redacted to the point it looks like Swiss cheese.

I enjoy the speciality shows (e.g., Hidden Brain) but the sociopolitical current events on the local NYC and PHL stations is gringe-tastic too often.
It’s not humor.

It’s religion for the irreligious.
Hey, me and my friend Aspect saw you. Thanks for checking out my game, have a good night!
> We can replace the role that the SSN plays (authentication) with modern techniques like public-key cryptography.

Would that we could (I mean political will, not technical capability) but let me tell you what is actually happening. We're replacing the identity provided by a secret number (SSN) with your phone number, and therefore your whole credit profile, your SSN, every address you've ever had, where you are standing right now, if you're in your home range (tower/wifi) and if you're actually clicking the approve this link from a device that they know. No one asked us, but we're ceding our privacy to push back against this threat.

How do you find those other companies? I'm in the middle of a job hunt now and all I'm seeing are the $200K+ jobs and jobs that don't pay enough to live comfortably (e.g. $50-60K in NYC).
We are in agreement on the point of the article. Next time, consider the state on your butterfly army before sizing up strangers below a navy seal dot com article, and you'll save yourself some embarrassment.
> Imagine hearing a CEO say something like "I care about Company X" but they're saying it from a thousand miles away, over a Zoom call, while all their employees are on site and hating being there. That says something about work today.

Wow, it's like you've been in our company Zoom calls.

+1 spicy!

> Make a fun space, and make people's work schedules be loose enough to where they can actually relax in the space, and some people will show up!

I've tried to tell this to a couple of places that wanted me to work in a office. The conversations didn't go anywhere - perhaps because of your prior quote? :)
Most people don't have the capital to create a company and become a CEO.
This comes up regularly, but... is it actually true that SSN still functions as a sole authentication mechanism? I don't recall a single instance in the past decade where I could open a bank account, apply for credit, or do anything else of consequence based on an SSN alone. Well, maybe open an utility account, but that's hardly consequential, they just use your SSN to decide if you're a deadbeat who needs to make a deposit before they hook you up.

In other cases, there's always either some secondary document check, or you need to pass some online quiz about your credit history. These quizzes are not bulletproof, but require the attacker to have a more comprehensive dossier on you.
This would be a start

Funny to see people publicly out themselves as too cheap to become informed.

The currency that is limited is not money, it is time. When news is presented digitally, it's just one more thing on your always-connected screen competing for your attention with every other website, app, video, etc. With a physical newspaper, you actually (most days) carve out the time to peruse it front page to back. Of course some days its a quick glance while other days you read every article. But the physical-ness of a newspaper somehow elevates it's priority and commands your time, in a way a digital version simply cannot.
I spent some time trying to get chatgpt to write a front end in js. It would plot using a library and then when I complained about a bug it would say "Oh you're right, this library does not implement that commonly implemented method, instead use this code." and then would get in a circle of spitting out buggy code, fixing a bug, and then reintroducing an old bug.

It was okay, but kind of annoying. I understand js well enough to just debug the code myself, but I wanted it to spit out some boilerplate that worked. I can't remember if this was chatgpt omni, I was using or if it was still 3.5. It's been a short while.

Anyways, it is cool tech, but I don't feel like it offers the same predictive abilities as class ML involving fits, validation, model selection etc for very specific feature sets.
$50 per month for $500,000 of liability only insurance for 5,000 miles per year. Since it is only liability insurance, the type of car I have does not matter.

I have 20 years of no accidents or insurance claims.

I assume countries where healthcare is covered more extensively, such as Germany, have lower premiums? Although, I think Germany is health insurance covered healthcare, so I wonder if a German health insurance company would sue the auto insurer of an at fault driver to recover healthcare costs. In that case, it would be similar to the USA.
Guaranteed the time spent doing that is considered work.
Ditch banks – Go with money market funds and treasuries
That's not the same thing. Those aren't real companies. This is buying existing, profitable companies with real employees and customers.
But you can iterate smoothly, systematically, making sure you learn from the data you gather through your experiments and making informed hypotheses… or you can iterate haphazardly, reacting with kneejerk guesses based on whatever went wrong last.
There are definitely GPU providers where you can buy cheaper L40S hours than us. I'm not entirely sure what their system architectures are, or whether they're just buying in absolutely spectacular volume, because we are cutting pretty close to the bone with our pricing.

One cost factor we have that other providers might not have (I'd love to know): we have to dedicate individual racked physical hosts to each group of GPUs we deploy, because we don't (/can't, depending on how you think about systems security) allow GPU-enabled workloads to share hardware with non-GPU-enabled workloads, and we don't allow anyone to share kernels.

But like we said in the post: we're still figuring this stuff out. What we know is: at the same price level, we're consistently sold out of A10 inventory.
How do you define "professional"? I would expect doctors to be in that group, but they're mostly still pretty tied to a seat. The really highly paid ones like surgeons especially so.
> Sometimes that translates to aloofness for staff, but what more often happens is that when the CEO _does_ come in they expect other people to be there.

Anecdotally, I have seen companies that have "oscillations" in their WFH policy and this, in my experience, has often been the driver of it. Instead of putting trust in the process or the data, you will simply have a situation where the CEO or (especially) where a group of the top level execs are all in the office on a particular day when the office 'feels empty', which then results in a "where is everyone" conversation. Couple that with a sniff of an internal deadline being missed or something behind schedule and suddenly you have a perfect storm of discontent resulting in updated WFH rules and policies being hastily fired off without regard to actual performance data or previous commitments or conclusions drawn around WFH policy.

> Make a fun space, and make people's work schedules be loose enough to where they can actually relax in the space, and some people will show up!

Personally, I don't care about having my workplace be fun or loaded with too many amenities. But if I'm going to be in a company workplace, I do need an office with a closing door if I'm expected to be able to focus and be productive. So much of the insanity with the WFH debate is employers who think that people can be productive or enjoy their work when working in loud, open-concept office configurations. For a lot of employees the WFH vs. office debate then feels very much a "my private, quiet home office vs. chaotic, loud office environment" debate.

That's how Android works.
Everyone on this site is so anti-C-suite it's crazy. All the standard "big company CEO bad, me entry level employee good" talking points. You would think that a site based on entrepreneurship would have people on it that have more of an understanding of what running a business is actually like.

If that was the case, you'd think it would've been a less dramatic outage right? Maybe even a status page to indicate that?
We just send out an email when the boss is in town and ask folks to come in, and enough people do to make the office seem full - and that works, we will even fly people in sometimes.
> I've been shouting from the rooftops for years that math[0] courses need more context.

A slightly different perspective: It used to be common for professors to teach a lot of history in graduate algebra courses. (Generation X and older.) I've talked to students from a few other schools who experienced this. None of us cared for it at the time. My teacher spent at least two class periods writing down the history on the board. We were all quite bored. But then again, we were in math grad school, so there was no need to try to motivate us.
Framing and colouring both take a long time to get the hang of, since there aren’t any really consistent rules and. I’m a hobbyist who’s started putting a lot more time in over the last year or two, and it’s been a journey.

It took me a long time to internalize “fitting the whole subject in the frame”, which sounds simple in theory but often isn’t once you get away from just taking portraits of people. And also, just cause you can shoot a shallow depth of field doesn’t mean you can stop paying attention to what’s behind your subject, it still takes work and thought.

Colouring, and I guess editing in general, has been a lot of trying different tools, being generally unsatisfied, and eventually ending up with Lightroom even though it has its own problems. You’d think straightening and cropping an image would be a solved problem at this point, but all (yes, all) of the free or cheap options have serious shortcomings that make them anywhere from quirky to completely unusable. Even more so with colouring. The most powerful options are the least intuitive. rawtherapee has the worst curve editing widgets ever in history. Darktable has the most nonsensical organizing and naming of its panels.

The market desperately needs an alternative to Lightroom that isn’t Adobe, with halfway usable library management baked in. I guess this turned into a bit of a software rant, but that’s been my experience so far trying to learn how to take photos I’m really happy with.
Here's my take:

The lawsuit started under Trump DOJ as a political stunt because Google resembled wokeness and the party of freedom and family values (Republicans) wanted to show how tough they are to their constituents.

A few republican states also filed similar lawsuits in tandem which all got lumped together into this lawsuit.

Then the Biden came to power and kept at it because, well, he did keep a lot of Trump initiatives and now the DOJ people think they're some kind of a hero for working on this case.

Should suing Google really the highest priority for the administration? I don't think so but here we are.
