If I don't need a new tab I'll just do Ctrl+L like they do, but we were discussing specifically about the workflow to open a new tab:

> This doesn't mean ChatGPT will forever be what people use. Maybe it will fail spectacularly in a year. But it's OpenAI's game to lose here, not the other way around.

The AVERAGE person still does not even know what ChatGPT is.

At most, 1 in 10 people have ever used ChatGPT.

This is like saying Social Networking is MySpace's to lose. Not really. Most people hadn't heard of Social Media or MySpace when MySpace was already huge and - by far - the biggest player.

It is likely easier for Facebook, Apple, Microsoft, or Google to introduce >50% of the population to an LLM than for ChatGPT to get from ~2.5% to >50%.

ChatGPT monthly users is about 1 in 40 people, by the way.

Does that mean ChatGPT is doomed to fail. No.

ChatGPT could easily be the winner.

But declaring the race over unless ChatGPT blows both its legs off seems very premature.
Bitcoin inherently relies on buy-in for its value. It's a shared fiction that becomes real because we share it. In that regard it's similar to countries. I literally cannot switch from Bitcoin to another coin and get the same value unless we collectively do it. It's a inherent property of its usage as a currency. I can switch from ChatGPT to Claude though without anyone else doing so and I get the same value. In fact, if Claude is superior I might actually get more value than if everyone switched because I now have a leg up on everyone else.
Of course.

Everything is a microphone if you're brave enough.
> tmux was always a better option for that kind of functionality anyway

Not sure a lot of people would agree. Tmux is way less intuitive than tabs/split panes directly supported by the terminal emulator. Also tmux is dog slow compared to native tabs.
There’s an episode of Seinfeld that opens with some standup where Jerry is joking how scientists are working on seedless watermelon, and why aren’t scientists working on more important things. And I always think the same thing! “… so the comedian is complaining about how scientists spend their time…”

It’s a fine joke, but deep down the instinct is very top-down and suggest centrally planned economies, dare I say communism!
Super thanks! This is exactly the kind of non-handwavy math I have trouble coming upon myself.

It gets much more complicated with more and modern speakers doing room calibration (at least Genelec and Neumann have their own, and Sonos also has some iphone waving trueplay thing). And just saying "Niquist!" does not help to understand, e.g., how precisely can phase be aligned by applying FIR filters, and what impact does the sample rate or bit depth have.
> NVIDIA will have a persistent hardware advantage

Is it a hardware advantage?

I think it probably has more to do with CUDA. The reason Python is the undisputed champion in AI and ML isn't because Python is a better, more performant programming language so much as because ecosystem of software in the AI/ML space is extremely concentrated, dense, and rich in the Python ecosystem compared to Java, Go, or C#.

Likewise, it seems like NVDAs advantage isn't even necessarily the hardware but the suite of tools and software that are built up to take advantage of that hardware.
Even stranger when the article has, in it's first paragraph:

> As a clinical microbiologist, I assumed everyone knew that it was a terrible idea to kiss a newborn baby anywhere on its head.
> Today, we control inflation with changes in interest rates, not changes in the quantity of money.

That is also not quite correct, I believe. The FED can invest money created out of thin air any time it wants („fiat money“ — „there shall be money“), usually it buys government bonds to help the federal government run its deficit. Sometimes this scheme is called „quantitative easing“ which is a charming euphemism. This is what drove and still drives inflation directly and indirectly (through the effect of our fractional reserve system private banks amplify this about tenfold by lending out 90% of their customers‘ deposits).

The interest rates everybody is obsessed about are just the target rates for the interest earned or paid for for money in the account of private banks at the FED. It is just a secondary adjustment. At least during major crisis.
Yes! Also:

Novelty grabs people's attention. A system based on the statistical analysis of past content won't do novelty. This seems like a very basic issue to me.
> Simplified: the central bank decide on an interest rate that they want to see. By itself that decision doesn't do anything.

I get the simplified qualifier and I see what you’re saying but it’s more accurate to say this is not true, it hasn’t really been substantially true since February 1994.

> What happens next is that they buy and sell government bonds in the open market

Again i feel it’s better to say exactly what happens, not a model or simplification. What happens next is banks move to the new interest rate without any OMO (open market operations) - the announcement effect as it’s called. There’s many reasons for this - not least that it’s futile to fight against the currency issuer.

Using Lambda functions stored in ECR has no impact on performance from my experience. AWS Lambda uses Firecracker under the hood, which builds a VM from a container image. It's likely that non-ECR image based Lambdas are actually packaged as a container image before being launched into a Firecracker VM.

TIL: apparently, mine too. Thank you Google for protecting me from spiritual threats I wasn't even aware of.
I appreciate what you are trying say. I'm having a hard time believing it because I was one of those kids. The only thing my parents gave me was access to books, technology, love and free time. They possessed zero experience in engineering or technology, gave zero guidance. In fact they told me I was wasting my time being on the computer so much. I think people like to inject themselves as some sort of necessary mentor but gifted kids are gifted.
To be more precise, they already had the port, but were afraid to lose it to the new government of Ukraine.

This is also a big reason why Crimea, by and large, supported annexation - it has very large proportions of the population that are either active or retired Soviet/Russian navy.
I think the main difference is digital vs physical goods. I know it's minor since a card is just a cheap piece of cardboard, but it's still something tangible (unless the game cosmetics also include a physical item, in which case...I'm dumb).

Funding’s not the main reason for different outcomes in US schools, and probably not even a major reason. Considering all sources of funding, in some cities the struggling inner city schools have more money than a lot of the better-performing suburban schools (rural almost-always-poorly-performing schools, not so much)

Funding’s an easy target because it’s straightforward to fix, but we could even all that out (though, careful, or some struggling schools will lose funding if you simply level out who gets what) and the effect would be minimal.

Unfortunately, effective approaches to making real progress on that have little to do with schools at all. Stronger social safety nets and support, stronger worker protections, justice system reform, that kind of stuff. Hard stuff, where we lag behind much of the rest of the OECD and closing that gap at all is controversial. And many of the measures might take years and years to show up in improved test scores or what have you.
> Sugar is naturally occurring in basically all the food we consume. Good luck ripping it out. Good luck getting a functioning body without consuming carbohydrates, either.

How do you go from "Sugar should be consumed in moderation" to "Sugar should be ripped out of all foods and the body doesn't need carbohydrates"?

Why jump from a reasonable and sound observation to some ridiculous extreme nobody asked for?
"If they'll keep consuming AI-driven media, they'll take that as normal and won't blink twice if that becomes the de-facto standard in about 10 years."

There is a sense in which that is true.

However, we all develop taste, and in a hypothetical world where current AI ends up being the limit for another 10 or 20 years, eventually a lot of people would figure out that there's not as much "there" there as they supposed.

The wild card is that we probably don't live in that world, and it's difficult to guess how good AI is going to get.

Even now, the voice of AI that people are complaining about is just the current default voice, which will probably eventually be looked on about as favorably as bell-bottomed jeans or beehive hairdos. It is driven less by the technology itself than a complicated set of desires around not wanting to give the media nifty soundbites about how mean (or politically incorrect) AI can be, and not wanting to be sued. It's minimal prompt engineering even now to change it a lot. "Make a snappy TikTok video about whatever" is not something the tech is going to struggle with. In fact given the general poverty of the state space I would guess it'll outcompete humans pretty quickly.
Thank you for your feedback, that would be an easy fix, however you are the first to point it out, so will have to monitor this aspect a bit longer.
I feel OK using it with companies I recognize. Often, it's because I signed up for the mailing list accidentally, or to receive a discount on something. They're not out to scam me, and they'll generally honor the unsubscribe request.

I'd never use it for some scammy spammer.

GMail does a pretty good job of separating the former from the latter. If it ends up in my inbox, and I don't want to see it any more, I'll unsubscribe. If it ended up in my spam folder, it's almost certainly a scam.
I don't agree with this.

There's a big difference between something that benefits productivity versus something that benefits humanity.

I think a good test for if it genuinely has changed society is if all gen AI were to disappear overnight. I would argue that nothing would really fundamentally change.

Contrast that with the sudden disappearance of the internet, or the combustion engine.
> The most talented get access to all kinds of free yet prestigious programs and camps, excellent books in local libraries, and professors in colleges.

I agree with this part

> The least talented are carefully looked after, and they don't necessarily have much pressure to get into a college, and rightly so.

This has nothing to do with talent. The poorest in society do receive subsidies (medicaid, food stamps) that the middle class do not qualify for. But that has nothing to do with talent. It's also not "carefully looked after" -- they're just not starving.

Exactly. Which is why it is a problem.

In the 1950s, gifted education was pushed hard, because the US seemed to be losing against Russia. Sputnik was a big wake-up call for the US.

This! I'd argue that the only reason loyalty might not always matter is because I am frequently not given a real choice because a given route likely has a very limited number of airlines offering flights and those might be dramatically different in number of stops, price and times. Air travel is one area where I frequently wonder how many benefits of it being a free market on paper we are actually getting. There is limited choice and direct competition seems limited

The weirder thing for me is that he makes the horizontal cut after the vertical cuts --- in fact, most cooks I've seen dicing onions do that --- and it seems completely backwards. It's safe and easy to make the horizontal cut on an intact onion half, but much harder after it's been cut up vertically.

This isn't a gotcha, it's an important aspect of how Go runs. While it's not highlighted enough concurrency isn't magic, and GOMAXPROCS is important to control your Go app, especially within production environments.

Although it's not well known benchmarks for programming languages would show even faster results for Go with GOMAXPROCS set to 1.

This lets single-threaded benchmarks run with less overhead.

A real missed opportunity in communication. Because this isn't the first time we see articles like these pop up.

> It's distracting because it's a low signal quip that asserts that your opponents have no substance behind their views beyond looking good. Just make your argument.

That is the argument.

> Finally, we have to contend with the fact that people earnestly believe in the things they say and do. If it were just for optics and they didn't actually hold their positions, these issues would be far easier to deal with.

The point of the argument isn't that people don't genuinely believe these issues. Its that they participate in these views in earnest because of social conformity as opposed to a genuine understanding of, and commonly without any intention of helping resolve them. The symptom then is blindly electing leaders with no real plan (or worse) and the result is predictably poor outcomes. Its used as a battering ram in discussions; I thought it was a dog whistle too before moving out to the West coast by my god it really is everywhere here, and it really does stifle discussion. Its a real issue.

Depending on what functions are in there, they are. But you can make types that happen to be monads in C, too. All you need is a datatype with `return` and `bind` functions that follow a certain spec.

What makes Haskell different is that it has a language-level concept of a monad that's supported by special syntax for manipulating them. (C# does, too, for what it's worth.) Without something like that, observing that a certain type can be used as a monad is maybe more of a fun fact than anything else.

(ETA: for example, many, many languages have list types that happen to be monads. But this knowledge probably won't change anything about how you use them.)
> There's no point truly optimizing for "gifted" students - the truly gifted will be able to succeed in any environment.

I mostly agree, so long as the truly gifted have access to resources which allow them to leverage their gifts. They don't need a teacher who is focused on them. But they at least need access to books, internet resources, etc., to learn on their own, ideally with some guidance from others but not essential.

This is amazing and I really appreciate your testimony. Clearly you know people need your product because you created the product based on a market exigency / need. And you discovered the need through, talking to actual potential clients! Very cool. I'm inspired by your efforts and your marketing strategy, if I may call it that, to focus on "volume" or the "volume-based approach" for X and Reddit, it makes a lot of sense, and demystifies a lot of the "outreach" that is so difficult to brandish [like a sword] effectively, especially as a small company. When you plug your solution to potential clients, is it typically after a back-n-forth or answering their questions?

Wargames, 1983. With the acoustic coupler. :D
Not from CA but had this experience growing up. I was bored in school so I hummed, read books from home, took naps and so on during lessons. Evidently that led to a discussion between my first grade teacher and my parents where they wanted to shunt me off into the developmental disabilities program. Thank God my mother was as involved as she was because what my teacher was reading as disability was merely the disinterest of someone hearing for the tenth time something they understood before they were told about it the first time. Had they put me in special ed in the first grade I'm sure that by the time anyone realized the mistake (assuming they did) I would have been so far behind that there would have been no fixing it. Instead my mom objected in the most vehement terms and they actually gave me some one on one time to assess my ability to learn material that was new to me and I ended up in the gifted program instead. My brother in law is similarly intelligent but has emotional processing issues among other things. He was put into the same program they wanted me to put into. He said he basically had to educate himself while the "teachers" just let them watch movies all day, and it was clear that the special ed program was nothing more than a sink into which they could dump problematic kids to ensure they don't disrupt the kids that the school hasn't technically given up on yet.
Ask HN: Is This Burnout?
I’ve been working in the industry for over a decade. I used to love writing code and designing systems on my free time and at work with other colleagues. Nowadays I still love doing side projects and reading tech stuff (books, documentation, open source), but I don’t like, and in most cases I hate, dealing with software engineering topics at work.

Main reason being I don’t feel engaged with any company, I think most of the topics discussed with other engineers are not important (who cares if we use Java or Go? This company is not even profitable!), and because management usually doesn’t help much.

So, I’m not sure. When I hear about developers burning out, it seems they don’t want to touch code at all. But that’s not my case.

I don’t think I’m depressed but I see myself as a cynic at work: thinking we all are doing useless stuff but no one but myself can see it. I can carry out, but I would love to believe I’m not the only one who thinks this way.
Congrats on the launch! Big fan of what you guys are doing.

It has more to do with the income level of the families sending their kids to a school rather than the funds that the school has available.

This is why the only way to successfully reduce inequality in the education system is to reduce inequality in society at large.
Why did finland expect that to work when >90% of money was in banks? When the article described cutting money in half, my very first thought was wondering what the banks did -- were the bills there also cut on half or were all accounts artificially divided in half? It didn't cross my mind that all money other than physical cash was completely unaffected.

Now clearly I'm not smarter than the top economists in a country of millions, so what am I missing? Why did they think it would work?

Why not both? Let's list every ingredient on the label along with info on the processes involved.
"Make illegal states unrepresentable" can be done by encapsulating the variables inside a single data object(struct/class/module) and only exporting constraint respecting functions. Also, Algebraic Data Types can be present in FP/non-FP languages.

The Result monad can be implemented in any static language with generics (just have to write two functions) and in a dynamic language this is easy (but return will have to be like T.return as there is no implict inference).

I didn't get the relation between FCore/IShell and DSLs, the main requirement for FCore is a good immutable library. Macros help DSLs though that is orthogonal.

But really, my main point is that OOP vs FP is red herring as 3/4 aspects which characterize OOP can be potentially done in both OOP and FP, with different syntax. We shouldn't conflate the first 3 with the 4th aspect - mutability.

An OOP language with better extension mechanism for classes +immutable data structure libraries and a FP language with first class modules would converge. (ref: Racket page below and comment on Reason/OCaml down the page).

See Racket page on inter-implementability of lambda, class, on the unit(ie. a first-class module) page here (https://docs.racket-lang.org/guide/unit_versus_module.html).
Racket has first class 'class' expressions. So, a mixin is a regular function.
Nevermind that the US gets an unfair share of criticism for slavery. It is almost always portrayed as whites versus the world when it was really the case that seemingly anyone who could take slaves would do it. Africa was full of slaves, many of them being white.
