Although you’re being downvoted, I do agree with your perspective. ChatGPT, despite its limitations, has been a godsend for me.

I translate tons of texts to multiple languages, and ChatGPT not only provides pretty accurate translations as a starting point, but also allows me to see the pros and cons of specific translation choices. I can even notice recurrent ChatGPT mistakes and work my way around them programmatically.

I also heavily rely on it for making one-off scripts and programs to automate my workflow. Things that would require me to RTFM and waste time debugging syntax issues are no longer a problem. It does make mistakes sometimes, but it is often easy to fix them, too.

LLMs can’t be expected to be accurate, create original content or even solve hard programming tasks. But they really shine in certain workflows and that cannot be dismissed.
I think I've clarified my position in other follow-up comments sufficiently that everything you said here has already been addressed.

I even already said I would use different wording next time.

And I never said folks shouldn't make those comments. I clarified that too.
Eating a carcass isn't a problem, throwing it into boiling water while it's still alive or clubbing it to death is the objectionable thing.
Hmm we do have a keybindings video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0MzADc0lV8 but I didn't want to overload the demo with this stuff. That's fair on the value prop!
Tools like this are useful for users who are not power users.
We see a problem, we act. Even if we don't understand properly the problem, our possibility of changing something, or creating/feeding a bigger problem with our actions. Everything that gets enough work and money flowing around it is the kind of part of one of the bigger problem examples, so putting even more money in such machines to "solve" something that is put in front of us may be making everything worse.

And every problem for which the easiest/more direct course of action is just stopping the flow of money is dismissed or have direct opposition, from commuting to climate change.

(Re)acting how they want on only the approved directions as soon as you receive the right messages in the way they want is part of the problem.

Oh how I wish for Postgres to introduce system-versioned (bi-temporal) tables.
Mattermost paywalling previously free features
"Lawyer" is a regulated term that comes with a lot of expectations of the "lawyer" (liability for malpractice, a bunch of duties, etc). You can't just say that something is a lawyer any more than you could do the same with doctors or police officers.

Machines are also not allowed to be the "author" of court documents if they actually get to court (so far as I'm aware). A lawyer has to sign off and claim it as their own work, and doing so without the lawyer reading it is pretty taboo (I think maybe sanctionable by the BAR but I could be wrong).
The majority of those commits are not ours! For the source-available version we squashed all our commits. This is a VS Code fork so the commits you're seeing are from the contributors of VS Code.
Computers already were plagiarizing machines, not sure what the difference is tbh. The same laws will apply.0
Now it also supports RETURNS keyword !
Obviously better charge rate would be better, and would be a bigger improvement than more range, but I've found that long road trips (10+ hours total driving time) with my 2023 Hyundai Kona, peak charge rate of ~70kW, is tolerable. I'd like my next EV (whenever I get it), to have a higher charge rate, but if I'm being honest, I'd care more other features such as V2H capability and physical media/HVAC controls. Now, fundamentally there is no reason that I should have to choose between these options. They are orthoganal, but if I was choosing between different vehicles, I'd give up charge speed to get those other features.
And that's for repetitive work, when you get to creative work it's far worse.

In your world, it seems the leftists have it figured out. The purpose of a business is always to maximize profit.

EDIT: yeah, yeah, I hear you. You can survive on VC money, and maximize share price instead of focusing on profit. You can also be a small business owned by good people just trying to make a living, but then you still have to not get drowned out by more ruthless competition. The purpose of a business is not always to maximize profit.
My understanding is that Haystack's mission is to explore this design space more fully than others have before, so I think they're making the right decision to be audacious here!

Nonsense. If anything, the failure is on leadership for not adapting and growing their people. There are three kinds of people in any organization: the rockstars who will naturally excel, the incompetent who should be fired, and the vast middle whose success is a factor of leadership and seniors putting effort into their growth and development.

Show HN: Country Specific Sign Up for Django
DISCLAIMER: EARLY STAGE

django-terran helps create country specific forms, like sign up / registration.

There is an example application in repository and a screencast of example application: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5uyuUl5GV6o
Apparently, I do not know how to record a good screencast :-(

I am not a US resident and every time some web-site:

* asks me to select a State, but there are not states in my country;

* asks me to enter a ZIP code, but we don’t call post codes ZIP;

* asks me to enter address line 1 and address line 2, but we do not format street addresses like that;

* puts country drop down at the end of the form and deletes everything I have entered after I select my country

I consider a therapy session. So I decided to be the change I wish to see in the world.

Idea is simple, merge Unicode’s Common Locale Data Repository, Open Street Map, a bit of Wikipedia and create a data driven application for country specific forms.
I currently support address, phone, IBAN, organization ID, person ID.

My vision is than unlike django-localflavor (which is a great project!)

* One would not need to write new code to add support to another country.

* Behavior would be easy to fix/upgrade by [re]loading fixtures.

Obviously in real life it’s not that simple. Turns out CLDR data is not that fresh or consistent, Open Street Map data is fresh, but not consistent. Wikipedia data is kind of fresh, but scarce. Processing data takes hours. I believe some issues cannot be fixed without international help of local residents of relevant countries, because I simply fail to find required data. Nevertheless I believe even as is now django-terran may be quite useful.

If you’ve read this far, wow, I appreciate your efforts.

There are three repositories
https://github.com/django-terran/django-terran for code
https://github.com/django-terran/django-terran-fixtures for prebuilt fixtures
https://github.com/django-terran/django-terran-data for original data and scripts used to build fixtures

There are two ways to help. Improve data and improve code. Code is quite small, data is huge and I definitely need help with that. If you take 10 minutes to improve country specific data for your country, that would be great. Currently there is a CLDR data disaster in Kazakhstan, If there are Kazakhstan residents here, I’d love to steal a couple hours of your life for the greater good.
Ideally the legal system wouldn't be byzantine and prohibitively expensive for mere mortals to engage with.
man, that would suck. To build devin to replace yourself. Hope the equity is worthwhile.
Indeed. It is definitely going to be a net negative for the very talented drawers and traditional art creators, but it's going to massively open the field and enable and empower people who don't have that luck of the draw with raw talent. People who can appreciate, enjoy, and identify better results will be able to participate in the joy of creation. I do wish there was a way to have the cake and eat it too, but if we're forced to choose between a few Lucky elite being able to participate, and the rest of us relegated to watching, or having the ability to create beauty and express yourself be democratized (by AI) amongst a large group of people, I choose the latter. I fully admit though that I might have a different perspective where I in the smaller, luckier group. I see it as yet another example of the Rawlsian Veil of Ignorance. If I didn't know where I was going to be born, I would be much more inclined on the side of wider access.
The whole "safety" and "benefits humanity" thing always felt like marketing anyways.
Good comment, thanks for chiming in
I hope our code-editor-in-VR wouldn't involve flying around like hilarious depictions of "The Gibson" in bad sci-fi movies.
Are you implying that these AI companies aren't equivalent to bookstores?
Nardwuar on his best and worst interviews
This came across on Mastodon and I found it both hilarious and fun. While the subject might be somewhat unserious, the categorization techniques and process are excellent!
Free speech is person-to-person in the sense that it only works if a person has it in practice, regardless of where the suppression is coming from.
Even the way they marketed their early cars as self driving/autopilot was deceptive. Plus they covered up safety issues, and there have been many privacy issues as well.
wish they wuld hire a box-promoter to organize science funding. Less waterhead, more fights, more results and if he tries to orgsnize somebody to take a dive for the bets, you just know.
Sometimes it seems like problem-solving itself is being problematized as if solving problems wasn't an obvious good.

My 2015 vehicle has remote start on the remote. Its very handy in cold and hot extremes to start a few min early, and then let it warm up or cool down.

My 2020 Subary only does remote start if you pay the monthly fee for their access (confusingly called Starlink), and requires the 'subaru app'

I hate it.

This is so relatable. Without sounding like a fanboy, Rust makes other languages feel like toy languages.
It is not. It's illegal to kill the OP though.
We're already seeing it in things like Google buying rights to Reddit data for training. It's already happening. Only companies who can afford to pay will be building AI, so Google, Microsoft, Facebook, etc.
Being a medical device he should file a complaint with the FDA. It won’t help his situation but the company will be forced to take notice. Absolutely despicable behavior by a company.
Here’s the deal: if anyone cold-calls you ever, there is a very good chance it’s a scam.
I think this is a misapprehension -- there is a ton of regulation around sports gambling. They may not have put the specific regulation that you think is necessary (in this case, banning advertising) but there are pretty huge barriers to entry to get into the sports bookmaking business, including a number of background checks and interviews in an attempt to prevent organized crime from getting a foothold. This is why every time you see an add for gambling there's a note on the ad saying "if you have a problem with gambling call this help line".

Show HN: Gptme – local agent with local tools (terminal, Python, web, vision)
Hi HN, still working on this gptme LLM CLI/agent that's getting really good.

Past attempts at submitting to Show HN haven't led to any feedback, so giving it another try!
I was thinking a lot about it, but at the times of IRC and forums (and modems ;) ) this was not an issue on society scale. Facebook actually revolutionized it and made it available to anyone including showing the more contraverse opinions to other people as it was more likely for them to click. They were/are literally pumping up all the bad in society, to earn more money.
Again, Agile has no specific leadership. It is a model, for lack of a better word, for self-organizing teams where all participants are the same as all others. It is lead by the shared collective of all taking part. That's its while deal.

That very well may be an unrealistic deal[1], sure. There is probably good reason why Agile never happened, instead seeing management cherry-picking from a a bastardized version of its idea to lighten their workload. But you cannot meaningly remove what it is as it seems you are trying to do. If you do, it no longer exists.

[1] In fact, I posit that it was written under "Agile Manifesto" to purposely draw parallels with the "Communist Manifesto". Communism isn't meant to be realistic either. It is a sci-fi look into what life could be like if we achieve post-scarcity. Agile is similar in vein – a look into what life could be like if everyone became excessively driven high achievers; not meant to be a reflection of this world.

Not getting too serious - Ive always wondered if punitative voting is a way to go :). Today a lot of voting is based on "it is good enough so dont change". Instead I wonder what it would be like to shift to a mentality of "Get rid of the B@st@rd if 100% goals not met".

Harsh yes. Of course the way to abuse this would be "oh well i am getting voted out anyway, so might as well abuse the system while in power" - as opposed to the current form which i think is "well i could get voted out if I slack off too much so Il balance abuse vs what I am perceived as getting done".

Damned if you dont and damned if you do!

Here comes the Google
I understand it would be ideal for business to give back with money to open source projects, but this issue is being handled in the worst possible way by Matt.

So WordPress code is FOSS, so you can theoretically change the code, except when you change the line that will keep revisions to cut your costs, if you do that he will yell at you.

WordPress' repository is free as in beer, you can download all you want without paying. Heck, even WP code is setup so it downloads from there by default. Except when you happen to host in a company that has a very specific set of issues (alleged trademark issues + profits over a particular threshold + not giving back to community; other companies who have only one of those issues but not all of them are fine), then he'll block you.

The main issue here is the lack of a clear contract of what you can or cannot do. Seems like he is just figuring out the rules along the way. This gives to external observers the impression that the whole thing is unreliable.
> 3a. We are not speaking Latin.

This is why I would prefer say axises, basises, indexes, and matrixes. I mean as plurals of their respective singulars, not as plurals of octopus.
So no AI for anybody? I don't see how that's better.
>lots of people suffered
As someone surrounded by immigrants using ChatGPT to navigate new environs they barely understand, I don't connect at all to these claims that AI is a cancer ruining everything. I just don't get it.
New standards for a faster and more private Internet
> advancing humanity
Perhaps but I'd say it's more of a mixed bag. Cell phones and social media have done harm and good at very large scales. As Dan Carlin once said, it feels like we're babies crawling toward hand guns. We don't seem like we're as wise as we are technically proficient.

Oppenheimer "advanced humanity" by giving us nuclear power. Cool. I love cheap energy. Unfortunately, there were some uh... "unfortunate side-effects" which continue to plague us.
Great question. Psychological research has identified like six areas of intelligence in humans so I’m sure the problem of how to define it simply won’t itself be simple.
Group ownership is pretty much a massive hassle. Different people have wildly different visions for things like maintenance and how a house should be outfitted.

I've always taken the philosophy of putting the money in my piggy bank with no cost and obligation. Given certain circumstances, could investing in real estate been a good deal? Almost certainly. But not without risk or future obligation.
Saying "it's just autocomplete" is not really saying anything meaningful since it doesn't specify the complexity of completion. When completion is a correct answer to the question that requires logical reasoning, for example, "just autocomplete" needs to be able to do exactly that if it is to complete anything outside of its training set.
Hmm, frame or studs works slightly better for html.
My bet is they won’t pay.
>If you get sentenced for a conviction, your good deeds will affect the decision.

Definitely a valid point, but I don't feel comfortable applying the same idea to inanimate entities like corporations.

>Sometimes people get off entirely based on who they are (e.g. athletes, execs, etc).

On a personal level, I have never agreed with this.
That report is pretty much worthless and fails any sort of statistical rigor. It makes many apples-to-oranges comparison and doesn't control for variables such as road type (highway/city), geography, time of day, age of cars and safety features.

Tesla refuses to provide raw data like the other self driving companies do to avoid scrutiny.
Paid and provided by "Pay to win games, targeting kids, not preventing fake news (covid, human harrassment etc.), probably someone died due to lack of taking ownership/responsibility, election fraud through not acting on it.

Yes i do like Llama but lets be honest who paid for it and for what.

Just because suckerburg gives us nice toys...

He could actually start giving his money away to humanity in a relevant and meaningful way to start fixing what he did to our society.
Bell and the victim's family wanted a commuted sentence, not a pardon. They did not believe in his innocence.
The warrant is still necessary, evidence obtained through illicit means is generally not acceptable.
Note that those are animal we generally hunt/eat. I'd bet this is tied to the language of the ruling/hunting classes of England, back when they spoke French more than English.

There are also some middle-ground words like "Shark". One goes fishing for "shark" like they would "fish" but it is more common to say "several sharks" using a plural as opposed to "several fish" using the singular. But "fishes" is still a word, which likely goes back to ruling classes who ate fish but generally did not hunt them as they would have deer.
The absolute best case is that it doesn’t actually help advertisers track users, so it’s net-zero to users: advertisers will still track us through other means, but at least Firefox doesn’t help them do it. If any part of the process leaks non-zero bits of information, it’s actively detrimental to privacy; otherwise it’s just not helpful to anyone other than advertisers.

This also involves trust. The party doing aggregation has access to non-aggregated information and is able to sell it. As far as I understand, currently this party is ISRG, which has reasonably good reputation and probably won’t sell it. I don’t trust Mozilla to not silently add other aggregation providers though, as they did with this option itself. I’m also not sure that this data doesn’t pass through Mozilla servers, and I very much don’t trust Mozilla with it.

To summarize my thoughts,

1. There’s no evidence that “PPA” improves privacy in any way;

2. You have to trust centralized third parties doing the aggregation, and the full set of parties you need to trust is not completely clear;

3. The only party who obviously benefits from “PPA” is advertisers, which tracks with the fact that the protocol was designed with heavy involvement from Facebook: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KpdSKD8-Rn0bWPTu4UtK54ks...

4. So it’s at best neutral for users and at worst is actively detrimental.
I think it's reasonable to carryover retail investor protections to the gambling world. One market has much more history in taking advantage of the average Joe and as a result there are many sensible protections in place. If you can't withstand losing your entire investment, you probably shouldn't be able to place that bet in the first place.

Unfortunately, since gambling is only recently more accessible/prevalent, I think it's going to take a few mishaps to produce similar regulations.
the US government spends twice as much as the 2nd place government on healthcare and we rank pretty abysmally on developed nations for quality of healthcare.

Can the US government be competent? Sure. Do I trust it to be competent today when it's dropping the ball on arguably it's most important task? No, not at all.

I can stop giving corporations my money, I don't need to trust them.
Is there any analog for Azure SQL Elastic Pools for Postgres anywhere?

We pay in total something around 600 bucks to manage around 250 databases in MSSQL servers (with failover for prod databases, DTU based model)

We pay for log analytics more then we pay for Sql Servers.

Those Elastic Pools is a blocker for us on the way to migrate to Postgres from MSSQL...
TBH most of these issues go away when your language has no implicit nullability.
“However Llama did add a cheeky "Πηγή: Google Translate" at the end”

That’s interesting; could this be an indicator that someone is running content through GT and training on the results?
Not just that. It's "the ends might justify the means if this path turns out to be the right one." I remember reading the same thing each time a self driving car company killed someone. "We need this hacky dangerous way of development to save lives sooner" and then the company ends up shuttered and there aren't any ends justifying means. Which means it's bs, regardless of how you feel about 'ends justify the means' as a valid argument.
Seems like a lot of focus on "fun" here and not much on "function". E.g., the city search is fine if you happened to live in a major metropolis. But good luck trying to find your city if it has a common name.

E.g., "Springfield" in the US drops you in rural Illinois with limited zoom or pan abilities to figure out what state you're in. And it won't even let you zoom out enough or pan to even get to that Springfield.
