I don't use AI in my own blogging, but then, I don't particularly care whether or not someone reads my stuff (the ones that do, seem to like it).

I have used it, from time to time, to help polish stuff like marketing fluff for the App Store, but I'd never use it verbatim. I generally use it to polish a paragraph or sentence.

But AI hasn't suddenly injected untrustworthy prose into the world. We've been doing that, for hundreds of years.
Meanwhile my 70 year old something mother wants to watch TV not having to rely on me for tech support when she does.

For nerds, brilliant. I love such setups myself but for the household consumer it's an no-go.
> The current C type syntax was completely accidental and any reasonable design could have avoided that.

Absolutely baseless claim.

The C syntax and language is the product of a small group (not a committee) of smart people with the goals of syntactical brevity, close to machine architecture (PDP-7/11) and the design goal of building along the path of BCPL->B->C. Dennis Ritchie himself explains the rationale in his paper The Development of the C Language and so one does not need to make untenable assumptions. The enduring success of the language (even in the face of all the developments since then in Computer HW and PLT) is proof of the validity of its design goals. Its "Abstract Machine" is simple and there is no complicated Object Model with the syntax merely being a thin veneer over a sequence of bytes. Contrast it with most modern languages (which seem to be designed to solve world peace/hunger and everything in between) and C appears more and more relevant these days. C++ used judiciously without a lot of "new features" introduced by the standards committee (the bane of the language) takes it to the next level sweet spot.
I can imagine how disheartening that must be
> I miss the time when Microsoft wanted to make useful software.

This move seems to be in line with the Microsoft I know. They have always done it - ruin good things. There have been many MS products over the years and they have all turned to shit. As soon as Microsoft did something good, they always come out with a new version that is terrible. It's the most Microsoft thing ever, in my opinion.
The common denominator is big corporations trying to screw us over for profit, using their immense wealth as a battering ram.

So, capitalism.

It's taboo to criticize that though.
I agree with you 100% but just one thing of note

> You can ban gambling advertising, as Italy did in 2019

this has been widely sidestepped, betting companies now advertise something like "sport-results.com" and then that one has a prominent link to the betting site.
>> Most physicians will agree that cannabis is fairly harmless in adults.

It's a recreational drug. Unless a patient needs it to counter some other malady such as for pain relief, most doctors will say that less is better and none is best.
You're validating my belief that dishwashers made us dumber
I must say I do find this really interesting! Thanks for detailing your use cases.

I can envision some of them, the ticket search especially. It reminds me of slack bots that auto assign links to mentioned issue numbers, etc, but is a bit more useful to just hit a key and go to it.
But the other half of “God is dead” according to Nietzsche is that nobody has yet realized. I don’t think 100 years is outside the timeframe he’d predict the consequences to take shape.
> This is evidence that other factors than luck play a role.

How is that evidence? That is like playing the lottery once and winning, then saying you could be much richer if you continued playing the lottery but choose not to because you have other priorities.
> but it's still depressing, to be honest.

Cheer up. Things usually get better, we just don't notice it because we're so consumed with extrapolating the negatives. Humans are funny like that.
> but capitalism has done more to lift hundreds of millions of people out of poverty over the past 50 years than any other religion, aid programme or whatever else.

Technology did what you ascribe to Capitalism. Most of the time thanks to state intervention, and the weaker the state, the weaker the growth (see how Asia overperformed everybody else now that laissez-faire policies are mainstream in the West).

> Talk to anyone who grew up in a Communist country in the 2nd half of the 20th century if you want to validate that sentiment.

The fact that one alternative to Capitalism was a failure doesn't mean Capitalism isn't bad.
Maybe the debunking AIs can match the bullshit generating AIs, and we will have balance in the force. Everyone is focused on the generative AIs, it seems.

That's awesome! My sister got diabetes Type 1 few years ago and was loosing hope. That's a very great news for her and all the people that have to lived with it and who we told there was no cure when they got it.
This is what I have learned after working with some really crazy people:

1. Show them some love, even if they don't deserve it

2. Don't be combative or argumentative. If the guy believes earth is flat, don't try to change his mind. But be open on where you stand and don't try to pretend sharing some of his views just to please him.

May not work on everyone and some folks are just evil, but I think many crazy dudes out there are just alone and have really bad social skills.
A SmartTV is not a problem as long as it has HDMI Input.

You don't like your SmartTV? Switch to HDMI Input and use your device.

I find it very practical that my LG Smart TV has the normal core apps available and i do not want to have a second remote.
> Since our errant immunity is localized on the insulin producing beta cells being on immune supressants would still be better than being insulin deoendent

As a Type 1 diabetic, I'm not sure I would agree. Surely immune suppressants would suppress our whole immune system not just the faulty bit which opens us up to all sorts of problems. I don't think that is someone I would like to risk just to avoid taking insulin. Mind you I have to confess my attitude might be affected by the fact that I don't have to pay for insulin.
I like the stone soup narrative on AI. It was mentioned in a recent Complexity podcast, I think by Alison Gopnik of SFI. It's analogous to the Pragmatic Programmar story about stone soup, paraphrasing:

Basically you start with a stone in a pot of water — a neural net technology that does nothing meaningful but looks interesting. You say: "the soup is almost done, but would taste better given a bunch of training data." So you add a bunch of well curated docs. "Yeah, that helps but how about adding a bunch more". So you insert some blogs, copy righted materials, scraped pictures, reddit, and stack exchange. And then you ask users to interact with the models to fine tune it, contribute priming to make the output look as convincing as possible.

Then everyone marvels at your awesome LLM — a simple algorithm. How wonderful, this soup tastes given that the only ingredients are stones and water.
IMO most HN users, regardless of country, earn enough that they should be able to clothe themselves without relying on dubious labour or uncomfortable, stinky synthetics that will outlast them by centuries. I've started turning down 'free' conference t-shirts: I already have enough to wear for gardening or to use as rags.

Not that OP is actually doing this. They're spending a lot of money because they're buying a lot of mass produced crap. The 'luxury' of those low cost-per-wear Converse is a flat insole that will put a podiatrist's children through school and a glued outsole that fails early and predictably. And then they have 5 other white sneakers doing the same job in their wardrobe. They could have spent less overall and got even better CPW from resolable, calf leather white sneakers.
I don’t disagree. But in these cases I’m more inclined to believe teams bridged large engineering gaps between competitors or teams failed in adapting to new rules. My core argument is that if the engineering deficit was small, domination would be a rarer trait in F1
You don't connect your TV to the internet.
> There is a broad spectrum of other options in between those points that tend to be under-discussed.

Where we fall on that spectrum is generally a matter of culture, rather than regulation. American culture is one of maximalism, especially when it comes to commercialization.
Banning is the wrong way to go. It just moves everything to black market.

Regulation, however, might be OK. In the UK we are now at a stage where bookmakers have to do Know Your Customer (KYC), checks to do identity validation, you can't gamble with credit cards (debit cards are fine), and "VIP Schemes" to incentivize those who gamble the most to gamble more are not allowed. All sites have voluntary limits for players on deposits or timeouts, and a lot of TV ad spots are about staying in control of your gambling.

What's interesting is that most of this (except KYC and CC deposits), are not government-mandated - the industry has gone down a path of self regulation to try and keep the government out of it.

There's expected to be some announcements in this space in coming months, and there is a fear of "affordability checks" being mandated - to bet above, say £100/month, you'll need to show bank statements that indicate you can afford a higher level of betting. The fear is that this will just mean rich business for the offshore black market guys on WhatsApp and Telegram who are ready to move in.

I think what might actually be a better solution is for us to talk more widely about "value", and educating bettors. There is little value in slots or casino games - you will rarely, if ever, be in a place to get +EV on those, and when those situations do arise it requires an incredible amount of expertise and insight to exploit them, far more than Hollywood or the books you may read suggest you need (Ed Thorpe invented the World's first wearable computer to get +EV on roulette).

However, sports betting is different. Value is often there, waiting to be found. Particularly on prop bets. If you're prepared to do the work in figuring it out, you will either win, or lose more slowly.

As such, I'd argue more education and more controls around bad habits seems a better way to go than banning it outright.

But then, I'm happy to do that work, I enjoy it, it's fun. Most people don't, and they're losing money to me and people like me via a commission agent (the bookmaker).

You're mistaken.

If I write code with a license that says that using this code for AI training is forbidden then OpenAI is directly going against this by scraping websites indiscriminately.
Are you assuming that the ML company does not sell its training data to scammers or others that will sell to scammers?
The one use of AI that annoys me the most is Google trying to cram it into search results.

I don't want it there, I never look at it, it's wasting resources, and it's a bad user experience.

I looked around a bit but couldn't see if I can disable that when logged in. I should be able to.

I don't care what the AI says ... I want the search results.
Can you say more about how your code changed?
It seems from the article that it's harder to monitor, so by injecting in the abdomen they can monitor them using MRI and remove them if needed.
For a while it was unclear if the link between cannabis and psychosis was correlation or causation, but causation was ultimately established. It seems to be a relatively small percentage of the population that experience such things, but that's largely the same part of the population prone to heavy, chronic cannabis consumption in the first place.

So I just wanted to add that for a subset of the population, the risks are several orders of magnitude more serious than "lost a few IQ points", as many people are not able to resume normal life (nor indeed, a normal experience of reality) after a psychotic experience.

That being said, I do support legalization, since the alternatives are worse. I just also support people being well informed, and aware that while they're probably not in that 2%, there's only one way to find out, and you really, really don't want to find out.
Perhaps i misunderstood it... looks to me like squashing commits and would require a force push, which would have this effect.
To me curiosity is the most important trait. People who aren't curious seem empty, superficial and over-socialized. They lack a real identity. They seem almost unconscious to me.

I know they can grow out of it, I have seen it, but I don't have the time or energy for people at that stage of development.
One thing that I hate about the post-ChatGPT world is that people's genuine words or hand-drawn art can be classified as AI-generated and thrown away instantly. What if I wanted to talk at a conference and used somebody's AI trigger word so they instantly rejected me even if I never touched AI at all?

This has already happened in academia where certain professors just dump(ed) their student's essays into ChatGPT and ask it if it wrote it, and fail anyone who had their essay claimed by ChatGPT. Obviously this is beyond moronic, because ChatGPT doesn't have a memory of everything it's ever done, and you can ask it for different writing styles, and some people actually write pretty similar to ChatGPT, hence the fact that ChatGPT has its signature style at all.

I've also heard of artists having their work removed from competitions out of claims that it was auto-generated, even when they have a video of them producing it stroke by stroke. It turns out, AI is generating art based on human art, so obviously there are some people out there whose stuff looks like what AI is reproducing.
> It's taboo to criticize that though.

It's not, that's playing the victim. There are hundreds or thousands of posts daily all over HN criticising capitalism. And most seem upvoted, not downvoted.

Don't even get me started on reddit.
With all due respect, that's seems like a cliche, repeated maybe because others repeat that already.

Working in IT operations (mostly), I haven't seen literally any case of someone's job in danger because of not using "AI".
Serious question: what did Steve Jobs actually figure out while on a long walk?

Did Jobs actually invent any of the user interface or user experience concepts or marketing? Is the idea of making a high quality or perceived high quality product something that requires a stroke of genius?

I'm not saying he didn't achieve some things. Just questioning whether there was truly a lot of creativity or problem solving.

I guess this goes back to my suspicion of management in general. Because executives have the luxury of taking walks from their desks whenever they feel inclined. And they don't really have to finalize any complex solutions themselves. They can get bored of sitting at their desk doing actual work after ten minutes, go out for a nice walk in the corporate garden, then come up with a "brilliant" solution which after they complete their leisurely stroll, they hand off to a principal engineer who says "great idea", then after the executive has taken about ten steps, realizes there is a basic flaw in the solution. The engineer would then likely very briefly consider calling the executive back to explain, but realize it would be counterproductive to encourage him because he might double-down on his unworkable idea. Better to just keep working on a real solution and hope the executive forgets or maybe you can put something in somewhat related to placate him.

It's not hard to write a client library / CLI, it's just there isn't much interest.
> In other words, it injects spam, but the spam is special because you can't delete it.

During this week, I had a client approached me to build him a Spam Reporter Outlook add-in. He wanted the add-in to be cross-platform (Windows, macOS and Web). I started working on the project by creating a new project in Visual Studio 2022 and choosing Outlook Web Add-in as a template. Once the new project was created and ready, I pressed F5 to run the boilerplate, "Outlook.com" was launched in the browser (Edge) and it took forever to load! The loading spinner keeps turning.. then I realized, there was an error in the code and the execution was held until I choose 'Step Forward'. I was really puzzled why a fresh project could crash in the first attempt, then I quickly noticed the error was not in the project's code but in another .js file that was loading in Outook.com tab, checked the js URL just to find the domain it belongs to is unusual (at least for me),it reads something like "https://www.taboola.com/loader.js". To add insult to injury, this file was reloaded every time I clicked on a different email, it drove me crazy when I realized this "loader.js" was actually an ad injector, there was plenty of spammy ads on the right side of each email opened. Somehow, I was able to block this whole garbage by simply accessing the "Network" tab, find this .js devil then blocked it. Only then, I could continue to work on this project peacefully!
I doubt that's possible. I can always lend my identity to an AI.

If you go back to the earliest months of the audio & visual recording medium it was also called uncanny, soulless and of dubious quality compared to real life. Until it wasn't.

Thanks! After reading both reddit posts, I would love for someone to deep dive into how this was possible.
I'm not tired, I'm afraid.

First, I'm afraid of technological unemployment.

In the past, automation meant that workers could move into non-automated jobs, if they were skilled enough. But superhuman AI seems now only few years away. It will be our last invention, it will mean total automation. There will be hardly any, if any, jobs left only a human can do.

Many countries will likely move away from a job-based market economy. But technological progress will not stop. The US, owning all the major AI labs, will leave all other societies behind. Except China perhaps. Everyone else in the world will be poor by comparison, even if they will have access to technology we can only dream of today.

Second, I'm afraid of war. An AI arms race between the US and China seems already inevitable. A hot war with superintelligent AI weapons could be disastrous for the whole biosphere.

Finally, I'm afraid that we may forever lose control to superintelligence.

In nature we rarely see less intelligent species controlling more intelligent ones. It is unclear whether we can sufficiently align superintelligence to have only humanity's best interests in mind, like a parent cares for their children. Superintelligent AI might conclude that humans are no more important in the grand scheme of things than bugs are to us.

And if AI will let us live, but continue to pursue its own goals, humanity will from then on only be a small footnote in the history of intelligence. That relatively unintelligent species from the planet "Earth" that gave rise to advanced intelligence in the cosmos.
It's not just CoT
Silly take: humans are really bad at controlling themselves and stick to doing the correct things, that's why newer languages like Go and Rust force you to check errors in return values, among many other additional checks/guardrails that didn't exist or weren't common in older languages. It is just easier to have the compiler checks these things for you instead of manually making sure things are correct. Same for sports gambling. Human nature is really bad, and it is really hard to control yourself. See that wsj reporting. Even someone as rich and educated as a psychiatrist can sink 6 digit amount of money into gambling. When the law allowed gambling, especially online gambling, it opened a can of worms.
I found an article by antirez about TCL [1] which had an interesting perspective. IIRC Redis uses TCL for its test scripts. It was linked from the documentation of https://folk.computer, which uses TCL as its scripting language. And... For that purpose I'm not sure I even hate it.

You are making two assumptions here:

1. More hash functions equals more security (hash encapsulation)

2. The attacker wants to know the content of 'm'

H0(H1(m)) has the security of just H0. Hashes are not made to protect the content of m, but instead made to test the integrity of m. As such, a flaw in H0 will break the security guarantee, no matter how secure H1 is.

Practically, H0(H1(m)) is the same as H0(m), as m is just "some data," and the result of H1 can be seen as "some data".

If your construction is H0(m0) + H1(m1) where m0, m1 are both halves of m, then the overall security is reduced to the weakest hash function. For example, a length extension attack in the weakest hash function breaks the overall integrity of the construction.
Yes, and thinking about it, I believe they choose specific tactics of deception or scams for each group
How can you verify most of anything if you can’t trust any writing (or photographs, audio, and video, for that matter)?
If that same spot is the crotch, they may just be too tight for you or hanging too low. But if it's because of poor construction, getting over the hump of a higher initial price and buying well made jeans like Iron Heart would save you money overall.
It's much more than CoT. I suspect it will take other labs some time to replicate.
Yes, at least for Christians.

I don't know if it comes verbatim from the Bible, but there are many denominations that find that gambling is sinful. Direct prohibitions from the scripture aren't the only source of religious rules - especially for secular questions.

As another example, many denominations have strict rules against alcohol - despite the many positive stories about alcohol in the bible and the role of wine during communion.
It has been incredible to observe how subdued the populace has become with the proliferation of the internet.
