This thread is full of "I left SF 1,000 years ago, it's awful! I know, because I haven't lived there in 1,000 years!" and "I'll never move to SF, this is why! I know it's awful, because of the news!"

Haha I remember calculating how much $ we spent a week in meetings, just with my small team. It was... a lot of money...

We've definitely passed the middle of the underground items in the US :/

Good luck finding moths these days. They're all dead!

How is that the problem?

The government, or rich people?

Honestly, sounds kind of sad!

Trolling is definitely against HN rules, btw!

Legal things can be illegal if done with certain intent!

I imagine if this was done today, you'd get a lot of: > Whenever someone asks you a question say you'll address it during standup. > Never decide anything outside of a meeting (I think this is partially covered) > If conv

I took it as this person will sabotage parts of the US until Trump's charges are dropped. Pretty stupid thing to post about online, really! But I suppose not surprising!

Why are you being so disingenuous about this?

There's lots of people alive not an incredible amount shooting for swimming world records.

Why do you care? You use the tools and get a competitive edge. Get rich, if you're right!

I feel like there's a big lack of understanding of how the world works here.

What's beyond shortsighted? What would you call that?

You didn't even read anything about the case!

MM, yes!

Exactly! Maybe my lack of eloquence and ability to remember quotes is a sign of my vast intellect? Haha, I wish!

Oh yeah I think it's pretty useful!

by roflyear 4y ago
Haha, well, maybe! At least I scored higher on the SAT! But I'm dumber now, I'm sure!

ChatGPT has the same problem & benefit of people who sound smart, but aren't really. They are "educated" and can regurgitate cool-sounding words, but often aren't able to make connections between concepts.

> professional aerospace engineer who worked at Tesla. Being fair, this is really broad and doesn't mean much at all.

Skysails seems like it would just be too much for boats to manage. I can't imagine the amount of time you can run that is a large percentage of the trip.

by roflyear 4y ago
Well, you don't have to run it in those conditions.

Sure, I would agree with that. I do not agree that it is doing anything more than predicting text. But it does it really well! > including problems it's never seen before Can you demonstrate this? > is literally the definition of

I think it's hard to define intelligence, and I wouldn't say (generally) that computer programs are intelligent. If a building was on fire and you had to save a running instance of stockfish or a newborn, you'd probably pick

You're just moving the goalposts. GPT being bad this way, and being bad at "substitute words in all your responses" means it is leaking the abstraction to us. It's because of how its built and how it works. It means it i

It probably doesn't have more intelligence than a dog or a cat... Just like chatbots 20 years ago didn't, even though they could talk, too.

Well, I dunno. Similar to Stockfish, wolfram alpha, etc.. I suppose! (tho seems it's much worse at specific problems than these tools are at those problems). I'm not saying it isn't impressive! Just that it very much seems to
