Just because you misunderstood what the article was about does not make it clickbait. The article answers the question in the title in a generalized way and I did not interpret it the way you did on first read.

It's not comparable, and it is certainly not too early to make that judgement about Twitter. I can say that confidently as a longtime read-only user of the platform who has largely been driven off by the incessant bots, boosted blueche

In the past year or so, nearly every day I receive at least one new follower from an obviously bot account despite me never posting or replying in over 9 years.

I believe the main reason for the focus on these earlier decades is due to the openness of both the hardware and software during this time. Manual published by computer manufacturers contained detailed schematics of all the circuits, assemb

Yes but this is not some incredible realization. Cars transport individuals (up to a family) whereas these enormous ships are the backbone of global shipping and commerce. Not to say they can’t run cleaner but this comparison is pointless.

Yes I also run into this! I thought it was just a shoddy HDMI cable but this is the first I'm hearing that it's a wider issue. Fortunately macOS handles the disconnect/connect quickly but it drives me crazy some days trying t

Even with _Generic you can't declare generic functions. You'd still need a macro call that uses _Generic to dispatch different implementations depending on the parameter types.

Those dealings with Sotomayor are obviously sketchy and should not be legal, not sure where in the thread you got the impression that it was being ignored. But unless you are being intentionally dishonest signing a book deal is substantiall

I wouldn't want to live anywhere that the US has decided to economically decimate through sanctions and embargo.

The existence of code in otherwise "dumb" toasters is due to it being cheaper than the analog alternative, simple as. I'm not sure why we're talking about all of these things as though they only exist to keep programmers

I don't see how, unless you start with the assumption that more software is inherently a bad thing.

Please tell me by what metric and to what other conflicts are you comparing this to where over 35,000 people (over 15,000 of which are children) killed constitutes the "lowest civilian casualty rate in modern history". The smugnes

Not sure why you didn't include the remainder of that section: > As part of the bargain, however, the Crown cannot use that evidence to incriminate the witness in another proceeding. It seems important since it still prevents one fr

Is the documentation for your projects all contained within the same repo as the code (and if so what are you using to render/view it) or do you just require an accompanying PR to wherever your docs live?

People are already asking you if you have tried <insert version here> but this pretty much echos my experience and I have used both free and paid versions of ChatGPT (3.5 and 4 respectively) as well as the GPT4 API directly. I had a s

I actually experienced a full outage caused by an infra engineer accidentally deleting our production ArgoCD app, don't ask how but it seems like someone will always manage to stumble through whatever safeguards are in place. And on th

I feel similarly to you, and yet there is always such a strong negative reaction to this sort of sentiment in anti-aging threads. I wonder what people outside the HN bubble think of this, since I've always thought that coming to terms

What are you trying to convince people of with this rhetoric? I don't understand the point of this tangent unless you are trying to say that the two are equivalent.

Surely the physical constraint still exists as they need to set up the equipment to capture the video feed.

This is not an honest or fair assessment, and adds nothing to the discussion. The person they are responding to invited exactly that to happen: > (Check my history if you don't believe me.)

This is very cool. It would be nice if you could aim precisely on the cue ball to impart spin onto it. Also a free form sandbox where you could place different balls down and setup your own scenarios to play would make this incredibly repla

> Intelligence is best measured by outcomes. How some entity is best able to manipulate its existence. I agree, although I think we humans have always been fairly bad at measuring intelligence in a way that truly appreciates all the comp

Yeah no I don't believe this is a fair comparison at all, and I'm frankly surprised you think this is accurate to the discussion around LLMs. There are certainly people on here who believe and talk about ChatGPT as if it is genera

The amount of anthropomorphizing of these LLMs in this thread is off the charts. These language models do not have human intelligence, nor do they approximate it, though they do an incredible job at mimicking what the result of intelligence

Other people seem to be suggesting that the user would do the retrieval of the relevant parts of the book from a vectordb first, and then feed those sections along with the question as the prompt. Conceptually it is very similar (and it too

I work on infrastructure for serving large language models but I don't have any background in ML, so my perspective is looking at these models as a black box (and also conversations with the people that do the ML stuff). It is the case

Normally the inputs are padded out to the context length [1] and so the cost to embed 1 token or N tokens is the same. The output is produced token-by-token and so the amount of GPU time increases with the number of output tokens. [1] I&#x2
