Ask HN: What do you use ChatGPT / Claude for?
I think ChatGpt has ~200M users. I know it's a general purpose tool with people using it for all sorts of things - google search replacements for questions, coding assistance, drafting content, etc.

What do you guys most use it for (especially if you're not an engineer? I'm curious how it's being by folks in all these other professions - consulting, medicine, law, recruiting, finance, etc.
OpenObserve offers free SSO on our cloud service to anyone and Free SSO for anyone using enterprise version if they ingest under 200 GB/Day (6 TB/Month).

Yes. But what of the governments which take on the data too, allowing it to be collected, legalising collection, surreptitiously collecting it themselves?

All large corporate and governmental entities love the data. Industries (tech, finance, etc) and planned future governance (technocracy) are based on it.

So, it is baked into the plan that days will be collected. It's just whether the individual will know about it.
I will. Thanks.
As much as Canada isn’t a model of reasonable telecom, I really like the cable access agreements that are required.

The company that owns the cable that goes into my house is required to provide access to any other ISP at a set rate. As a result, I can choose between quite a few different providers. I’m able to buy gigabit internet from a small local provider for $75CAD with no contract, no cap, and really good customer support.

Every zero trust architecture ends up trusting an unbounded set of machines. Like most marketing terms, it’s probably easier to assume it does the inverse of what it claims.

My mental model:

With 1 trust (the default) any trusted machine with credentials is provided access and therefore gets one unit of access. With 2-trust, we’d need at least units of trust, so two machines. Equivalently, each credential-bearing machine is half trusted (think ssh bastion hosts or 2FA / mobikeys for 2 trust).

This generalizes to 1/N, so for zero trust, we place 1/0 = infinite units of trust in every machine that has a credential. In other words, if we provision any one machine for access, we necessarily provision an unbounded number of other machines for the same level of access.

As snarky as this math is, I’ve yet to see a more accurate formulation of what zero trust architectures actually provide.

Probably there's a handbook rule or policy your employer has that you must use their hardware. For example, it could be a data/IP protection policy that doesn't allow any company data on any storage medium not owned by the company (and that includes your personal laptop).

Another matter is software licensing. You mention the IDE. Is your IDE properly licensed for commercial use on your own laptop? If not, the company may need to throw out all that you do when they find out, or they risk losing all their commercial licenses.

If you really want to use your own hardware, I would seek a letter from HR/legal with a statement to the effect that the company allows it. But given that the company gives you a laptop with a software image, it's likely they have to for a real legal reason.

Or you could become a consultant/outsourced supplier where it will be expected, in most cases, that you will use your own hardware. Though not always.

If you don't properly handle this, the likeliest scenario is that you will be fired when they find out. If you are lucky, they won't tell this to your future employers when they ask for references. I think it's common to be lucky in that regard to be honest, but not everyone is. And if the org loses licenses or has to throw out a chunk of their codebase, you may find yourself in a lawsuit (possibly between a client/supplier of your employer and your employer). Of course, if it's a small start-up, personal consequences are less likely. But don't act this way towards a small company.
yes, thanks for pointing out the assumption here. I'm not sure how to quantify AI improvements and tbh not really up to speed on quantifiable rate of improvement from 4 to 4o to o1

100 times better seems to me in line with the bet that's justifying $250B per annum in Cap Ex (just among hyperscalers) but curious how you might project a few years out?

Having said that, my use of 100x better here applies to 100x more effective at navigating use cases not in training set, for example, as opposed to doing things that are 100x more awesome or doing them 100x more efficiently (though seemingly costs, context window and token per unit of electricity seem to continue to improve quickly)
In cases like those, police are almost always on information obtained from an informant. They are looking for the specific vehicle, they are intend to stop the vehicle, and they are going to run a drug dog around the vehicle — because they know it is being used for drug trafficking. It’s not a random stop.
Hot (and perhaps tangental) take here, but I can't understand why companies that attempt to enforce these policies for security reasons, do not just mitigate their largest attack vector and move to macOS for their endpoints where possible. Far more reliable in terms of stability and security, and dramatically less patch management required for macOS clients. I'd argue a more productive user experience also, instead of fighting the advertising, new AI integrations, Candy Crush and layout changes that Windows generously provides every 30 days. Hardware is also pretty easy to resell, AppleCare covers replacements and the fleet can be pretty uniform with stock available anywhere if needed. Keep incompatible apps that are required in a Citrix Workspace or equivalent for isolation. This doesn't address social engineering or file leaks due to malicious employees obviously.
The Surgeon General's report on social media and youth mental health [0] cited 3 studies showing 1) that limiting social media to 30 minutes per day among college students for 3 weeks significantly reduced loneliness and depression [1], 2) deactivating Facebook before the 2018 midterm elections increased subjective wellbeing and reduced political polarization,[2] and 3) that 10,904 14-year-olds in the UK Millennium Cohort Study experienced an increase in depressive symptoms in association with greater daily social media use, with a stronger association for girls than boys (depressive symptoms in adolescents using social media for 3 to <5 h versus 1-3 hours daily were elevated 21% in boys and 26% in girls; with 5 or more hours of use versus 1-3 hours of use daily, depressive symptom scores were elevated 35% in boys and 50% in girls) [3].

Fully 57% of high school aged girls--(more than half!)--experienced feelings of persistent sadness or hopelessness in 2021, up from 36% in 2011 [4]. Over the same timeframe, average time spent using social media each day among teens doubled from about 1.5 hours to more than 3 hours [5]. Admittedly, this is not a straightforward association as mental health screening practices changed in the United States during this period.

The actions of some with a vested financial interest in continued growth of social media have purposely chosen not to protect youth mental health. According to CBS, Mark Zuckerberg, "personally and repeatedly thwarted initiatives meant to improve the well-being of teens on Facebook and Instagram...[overruling] Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri and President of Global Affairs Nick Clegg, who had asked Zuckerberg to do more to protect the more than 30 million teens who use Instagram in the United States" [6]. And now developed countries with robust regulation systems are starting to do something. If all of this is happening and there is "not enough evidence" all one has to do is look back at similar statements by the tobacco and asbestos industries to muddle, obfuscate, and confuse to continue extraction of profits as long as possible. If you are working for social media companies in these efforts, at least try a new tactic to continue extraction of wealth at the expense of public health! It has become too obvious at this point.

Advertising is the engine of free market. Advertising in Web and apps is used for evil purposes, just like cash (or almost anything else) is also used for evil purposes. Regulation exists to try to minimize those, but it’s always a workaround for human malice.

>So if poll aggregators, such as 538, show a 50% favorability for Kamala, this converts to a less-than-50% chance of winning due to the aforementioned factors, giving a contract value of perhaps only 40 cents for ‘yes’ instead of 50 cents. 40% is the closer to the true probability or her winning, not 50%.

538 is not simply a poll aggregator; it's a complex model that attempts to estimate a probability by statistical methods (notably including Monte Carlo). It takes the effect of the Electoral College into consideration; and the idea that unknown and a priori unknowable "October surprises* would inherently favour one candidate or the other is simply nonsense.

There's a reason Nate Silver gave Trump better odds in 2016 than all the poll aggregators with simpler models. It's not because he thought the polls were all garbage - after all, his model rates and weights the polls based on previously demonstrated predictive power.

I've always respected Johnnie Walker, but thought their offerings are overpriced for what they are (brand-name premium, I guess). However, I just discovered Johnnie Walker Double Black, and: wow. It's a nice, smoky whisky for $30-something a bottle. I don't know anything else I like better in that price-band. It's my new "table whisky". Great stuff.
Space is hard. If you think SpaceX exaggerated their timeline, then NASA (JWST, SLS, Artemis), Blue Origin, ULA, Rocket Lab, Arianne all did. See how late their rockets have been?
I’d give it a go if price competitive with Uber/Lyft - I can’t think of a way a robotaxi would be worth a premium though.

News to me, since I still have a Marcus account that is fully functional and the website says "Goldman Sachs" all over it. I've been expecting it to split off or shut down at some point, but no signs of it so far from my perspective.
I've been using Claude dev VSCode extension (which just got renamed but I forget the new name), I think it's similar to Aider except that it works via a gui.

I do find it very useful, but I agree that one of the main issues is preventing it from making unnecessary changes. For example, this morning I asked it to help me fix a single specific type error, and it did so (on the third attempt, but to be fair it was a tricky error). However, it persistently deleted all of the comments, including the standard licensing info and explanation at the top of the file, even when I end my instructions with "DO NOT DELETE MY COMMENTS!!".

I am not a lawyer, but I would presume you would be in legal trouble.

If the company refused to tell you to unlock the laptop, they would be in trouble for refusing legal discovery, and if they were wanting to refuse legal discovery, they wouldn't have handed over the laptop in the first place.

If the company ordered you to unlock the laptop and you refused, you would be violating a lawful order of the court and would be held responsible.

That said, once again, I am not a lawyer, so I could be completely wrong

I'll add mine to the pile: I needed a visualization of the classic Towers of Hanoi puzzle for a course I'm teaching and Claude banged it out (in pure JavaScript, no less) in like 3 minutes of me typing: https://lgessler.com/files/towers.html

The first stab was basically correct, but then I needed to prompt him several times to correct an issue where the disk that's currently picked up was being rendered as a vertical strip instead of as a disk, and then I just told him to convert the React into pure JS and IIRC it worked first try.
Ever since I read that thread [0] about how AI companions are helping reduce loneliness, I started using ChatGPT and Claude just for casual conversations, similar to how I used to chat with friends on Discord. I initially used them for coding help, but now I often max out my message limits just chit-chatting, especially since the larger models are great for that. The only thing holding me back is the message limits—ChatGPT and Claude often tell me I’ve hit a cooldown, or when the conversation gets too long, I’m prompted to start a new one and lose context. As these models improve, I think I’ll use them more and more for conversation, treating them as characters to talk to rather than just tools like most people do.

The star of this article, as well as the main target of the comment you were replying to, is Boeing, so forgive me for interpreting it as a broader point than just semiconductors, especially since you named conglomerates which have dozens of subsidiaries in orthogonal industries.

> I'm only talking about the semiconductor industry, and yes, the China at trying to develop a private sector in the entire Semiconductor supply chain via the Big Fund [0].

Interesting! Even then, I can see that only lasting until they get semi-succesful, just like Tencent et. al.

Your main point seems to boil down to "subsidizing semiconductors makes sense", and I think you're absolutely right there! But I don't see many here argue against that. It doesn't contradict the message of the first comment you replied to: "We should let failing businesses fail. Everyone would have learned their lessons a long time ago and we would have less corporate greed/corpo-political corruption". Both can be true at the same time.

One note though, borrowing from your other reply:

> This "capitalist doctrine" of shareholder return is alive and well in Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. Take a look at KOPSI or Nikkei sometime.

The KOSPI is generally seen both by domestic as well as international investors as a complete joke, and a big reason behind it is in fact the main argument the parent comment was arguing for; unlike the US, shareholder returns are not put above all else by the conglomerate subsidiaries. Investors don't like this, and so see the market as completely unreliable.

Every once in a while I consider making the switch to KeePassXC. I trust KeePassXC but I don't really trust the mobile apps so last time around I looked into NetGuard. It's really nice but it wasn't a good fit for my use case:

> NetGuard will do its best, but it is limited by the fact it must use the Android VPN service. This is the trade-off required to make a firewall which does not require root access. The firewall can only start when Android "allows" it to start, so it will not offer protection during early boot-up (although you can disable your network before rebooting). Also, the Android VPN service needs to be restarted to apply new rules when connectivity has changed or when the screen is being turned on or off. It will, however, be much better than nothing.

I believe that also means you can't use it with Tailscale or similar.
Yes, exactly my thoughts.

When banks call to verify your details how do you know the call is legitimate?
I got a call from my bank claiming that they're discontinuing physical credit card statements and asking for my email to send statements via email. Then they proceeded to also ask for my date of birth and home address to "verify details" after making the unsolicited call. It felt off but the call came from within the bank. When I said I don't want to give the information over this call, they implied that I'll be inconveniencing myself and will have to go to a physical branch to verify my details and be able to receive credit card statements via email.

If the bank is actually initiating this, they shouldn’t be asking for personal info like DoB or home address over unsolicited calls. To the person receiving the call, it sounds like a phishing or social engineering attempt.

My assumption is that the bank's process is flawed and this wasn't a phishing attack. Can anyone recommend what best practices banks can follow to ensure safety for both customers and banks in such cases?

I did not. If that's the key, it does point towards this being an innocent bug rather than an intended removal.
>The fine should be a deterrent.

That's a reasonable position to hold, but crappy comparisons like in the OP doesn't contribute little to the discussion. The fine might be tiny part of worldwide revenue, but how much money are they making off apple cards? If that's tiny as well then the argument is moot.

Think of it this way - if it's stated in your contract that you shouldn't and you do it, there may be companies that are more lax, but will use it as ammunition if they need to get rid of you for whatever reason. If there are specific things that limit your typical workflow, maybe worth taking it up with the relevant department first.

Reading once from every page.

DRAM has destructive reads and is arranged in pages. When you read from a page, the entire contents of the page are read into an SRAM buffer inside the memory chip, the bit(s) selected are written out to the pins, and then the entire contents of the SRAM buffer is written back into DRAM.

For old DRAM, usually half the bits in an address selected the page, and the other half selected the word from the page (actually, often a single bit, and this was extended to a full word by accessing multiple chips in parallel). Set your address lines so that the page address is in the low order bits, and any linear read of 2^(log2(DRAM chip size)/2) length is sufficient to refresh all ram. Many early computers made use of this to do the refresh as a side effect; as an example, IIRC the Apple 2 was set up so that the chip updating the screen would also refresh the ram.
I think the point was 10,000 files on 10,000 different hosts, per second.
