While I agree that this is scary, these responses show that ChatGPT can't yet see past its own training data. I find it more unsettling that it seems limited by ideas/philosophies/ideologies that humans have already thought of and will therefore manifest our own worst fears because that's all it knows how to do.
I believe the next step for ChatGTP is to see past its training data and create unique ideas of its own.
I've subscribed to this line of thinking my whole life, and mostly still do, but I've had to reassess after watching/listening to the case of Andres Iniesta, a professional footballer who sought professional help in the Summer of 2009. A starter for FC Barcelona and the Spanish national team, having just won the 2009 European Champions league with FC Barcelona and the 2008 European Championship with Spain. Multimillionaire and in peak physical condition, yet fell into a deep depression during the peak of his life. Definitely caused me to reassess my assumptions on clinical depression.
Great timing with this post—I was literally just looking at general aviation airplanes from the 70s and noticed that they had ashtrays for the passengers! That is almost as bad as ashtrays at the doctors office.
Its funny how much having kids changes the equation. Back when I was single I borderline welcomed the apocalypse. Now thinking of a breakdown in civil society concerns me greatly.
Very nice site. I was clicking around trying to find a sample of your date-picker and noticed that the "Free Courses" link is not working properly. I believe it is treated as a relative link as it takes me to:
This is like a sociological experiment where they show different people the same picture and ask "what do you see"? The results are heavily influenced by your previous perception of Elon. The results vary from "abuse and modern slavery" to "I'd fly halfway across the country to be there." I don't really have an opinion here as I don't know what is actually happening and assume the original poster intentionally framed it in a specific way. As humans we are very predictable, and even in a high IQ place such as HN, mostly everyone used the photo as validation of their existing position.
Wow, this summarizes my natural sleep requirements too! I feel blessed that as a dev my job is flexible enough to accommodate it. This is stating the obvious, but this sleep requirement has become more critical with age. I remember being able to reset my sleep pattern by pulling an all-nighter and going to sleep "early" the following day, say 6pm to 8am giving me 14 hours of sleep before an early class. I tired that more than once now that I'm in my mid 30's and neither time worked as expected. My body demanded the lost hours of sleep which I made up over 2-3 days. I couldn't believe it--that I could no longer trick my body into resetting my sleep schedule!
Even after learning how to use hooks the concept never fully clicked. The concept of functional components (smart components and dumb components) clicked for me right away and I've always preferred this approach. I guess the React team just traded one set of problems for another. In the end, when ever I've worked on a team of 3 or more, the code has never resulted as clean as I'd like (regardless of the approach). Adhering to to the architecture and design philosophy of the choosen approach (hooks vs functional components, etc) is more important as either can become unmanageable.
This was discussed shortly in: A Study of History by Arnold Toynbee
Another anecdote that speaks to the sentiment of the beginning of the war is Britain’s initial deployment of troops. The troops were literally marching towards Germany with music and percussionists that was supposed to motivate the troops and strike fear into the enemy. I imagine an army like you would see in Game of thrones (walking from point A to point B and making camp in between). Germany used their planes and promptly dispatched the British troops which suffered devastating losses. After this event Britain changed their tactics and took the war seriously.
(This event may have been WW2 which would make the story even more ridiculous).
There is a thought provoking book about how terrible the repercussions of WWI really were. The author claims the world was on the verge of a renaissance in technology, medicine, energy, music, trade, etc. The thought of a world war was incomprehensible at the time—no one believed it could happen. Who knows how the world would look today without WWI.
(If any one is interested in the book I will hunt it down as I don’t remember the name).
If keeping the "how to" videos off the internet is their survival strategy, they've already lost. IMO this is not a threat to Nintendo, and those who want to emulate will figure it out no matter how many YouTube videos get taken down.
I initially thought part of the appeal was offloading the workload to the front end, where your processing power scales infinitely with each user's device. Maybe the benefit turned out to be negligible, I'm not really sure. Can server costs be reduced by offloading the work to the front end?
Nice thing about IMF is that you can keep your "nightowl" schedule. Using the more lax version of 16/8 (8 hour feeding window), you could use a feeding window of 2pm-10pm. I had a similar schedule back when I was a night owl but the wife didn't like it much. I've since moved to 18/6 with a feeding window of 12pm-6pm. I did it mostly for weight and fitness but absolutely noticed the sleep benefits, which I initially attributed to exercise.
I mostly agree, but recently I was pleasantly surprised to find that the Apple TV app became available on my 2017 50" LG. I was able to remove my Gen 3 Apple TV box. The only app I use that is still not available is HBO Max. For that I bring my daughter's PS4 into the room, but who knows maybe that will also become available.
