Bitcoin is way behind visa because it sucks as a payment system. Have you ever tried buying something in bitcoin?

The fees are insane and nearly all merchants require multiple confirmations which can take over an hour.

Ok and what about all the people in that subreddit complaining about lack of jobs and healthcare? It's not just a housing crisis.

> Countries with a highly successful immigration system, notably Canada

You probably aren't aware of this but that is definitely not the sentiment with Canadians recently.

Lumen is a tier 1 network so a lot of traffic passes through them. They can man-in-the-middle the traffic and see the TCP packets going through their network.

It could be on a website they don't control like twitter.

It's probably because someone saved incriminating evidence on it and they refused to take it down.

> Do you think when you speak colloquially with a friend or a colleague, you are engaging in a deep reasoning exercise?

When I speak colloquially, I have an underlying idea rooted in a world model to be expressed. I don't spit out 1 word at a time based on the previous words I already said.

Because if this is how our brains really worked, then chatgpt wouldn't be beating most humans at standardized tests and then failing this absurdly easy question that even an elementary school kid could pass.

It is simply regurgitating this phrase without even considering that it is stating the exact opposite of the answer it just gave, simply because most answers to this riddle on the internet say this at the end.

> This riddle plays on the assumption that a surgeon is typically male, but in this case, the surgeon is the boy's mother.

So from this 1 failing, you can see that it is a copy and paste machine, and it doesn't even understand that it is contradicting itself.

GPT4o still can't reason. It is super fancy autocomplete.

Here I change a widely known riddle to the opposite answer, and I manage to make it state them both as the answer.

Unfortunately most people don't want to bother compiling, myself included. I tried gentoo one time and it took 1 hour to compile 5 minutes worth of apt-get on ubuntu.

> I think the main reason they don't offer a `--make-my-binary-compatible-with-the-ancient-linux-versions-users-often-have` is that GCC/glibc is a GNU project and the are philosophically against distributing software as binaries.

You don't have to statically compile glibc, gcc just needs an option to tell the compiler to target say, version 2.14 instead of the latest one.

The newest glibc has all the older versions in it. That's why you can compile on say ubuntu 14 and have it run on ubuntu 24.

They are a problem because gcc automatically links to the latest version of glibc.

As to why they don't add an option to specify an older version? I don't know either and it is rather annoying to have to use docker images of older OSes to target older glibc versions. It's just one of many things that prevents linux from being as popular as windows for desktop users.

That will not help. There are already aimbots that work only off video feeds.

I really don't know the details.

You can see a concept artist here discovering he stopped getting work after a company splurted out that they switched to AI.

My guess is that a lot of people can have ideas, so you don't need an artist to bring them to life anymore.

The open source models are VERY far behind gpt4.

This technology is already fully automating copywriters and almost replacing concept artists right now. However it is true that right now the valuations are for something far more than that, and so far it doesn't seem like LLMs will be able to do much more.

I was talking to someone that just retired from a programming position at a FANG and he seems to think that AGI (artificial general intelligence) is only a few years away just based off what he sees with ChatGPT and he's dumping all his money into AI stocks. The level of hype and over-extrapolation is so absurd, and the fact that it can affect someone with a technical background...

It really does seem like a bubble to me.

I have the same experience. Every time I try to have it code something that isn't completely trivial or all over the internet like quicksort, it always has bugs and invents calls to functions that don't exist. And yes, I'm using GPT-4, the best model available.

And I'm not even asking about an exotic language like F#, I'm asking it questions about C++ or Python.

People are out there claiming that GPT is doing all their coding for them. I just don't see how, unless they simply did not know how to program at all.

I feel like I'm either crazy, or all these people are lying.

If google benchmarks are to be believed, gemini 1.5 will be better than gpt and they use their own chips (Google TPU), no nvidia involved. There is also Groq. I don't see Nvidia keeping their lead and profit margins forever.

I got a 13900 non-K on a Linux server and it randomly locked up the system after a month.

Google's job is to fight abusers to give you good results. Is that not the point of a search engine? What else are they going to spend their time working on?

Putting the burden of SEO on everyone else is going to cause people to abandon making websites and seek other platforms like reddit, facebook, instagram, youtube etc... as they have been.

It also wasn't as heavily weighted to manually trusted domains before. I used to have a bunch of backlinks too, but all blogs/forums were manually downranked.

Now these "trusted" domains get free reign to do whatever they want like this.

I'm talking about "personal" reasons like you work for the company behind link #2 and not because #2 is actually better than #1.

It's not about being corrupt, it is about doing the lazy thing in order to fight spam. No one ever got fired for suggesting New York Times or Better Housekeeping.

To me it feels like a big brand website hardly needs to try in order to rank #1 even without doing a bunch of SEO.

How exactly do you know that people are clicking on the #2 link because they are "sophisticated" and not because they simply prefer #2 for personal reasons?

I've had the opportunity to analyze click behavior for some pages, and there's a huge bias for people to click things at the top.

Let's say for example 90% of users are unsophisticated and 10% are sophisticated. Even if the #2 link is preferred 100% of the time by sophisticated users, you're still going to see 90% of people clicking the first link.

People clicking on known brands most of the time now is a behavior that was reinforced by google.

I used to find good high quality results from domains other than the big brands through Google, now it is never the case. Now that smaller domains haven't been getting that search engine traffic, people wanting to make a sustainable business being a content creator have moved to other platforms for a long time now.

I still believe the original title is warranted.

The fact that Google has to manually step in to intervene or else the big domains get all the top rankings tells you that they are very heavily biased towards big media domains.

Not everyone has the time and resources to do SEO to beat big media companies at this game. Buying an old domain is a prime example.

Google has always preferred top domains for a very long time, allowing them to abuse the rankings for years.

One relevant example I can remember, OVH is the top result for servers in Japan yet they don't have any in Japan.

This has been going on for many years now. And they never get punished unless there's a huge uproar about it on ycombinator like with expertsexchange.

It is very risky but making your own website and having it be easily found should be the way the internet is supposed to work.

One shouldn't have to make a youtube channel, constantly tweet, and manage a facebook group when a single website should have sufficed.
