n0tahacker··on I wish GPT4 had never happened
I agree, but less profits mean more consumption and less investment in capital.

> 1) Chaudry's article is amazing in its lack of creative thinking.

If that's true, he'll really have problems in a GPT-4 world. Seems to be a self-fulfilling prophecy.

I wonder if the technology landscape will shift in sich a fast way that the people earning the most are the best learners. To some degree, this is already the case. But that also means that you'll earn less when you become older and are not that good in learning anymore.

n0tahacker··on Dang is going to have 65,535 karma points soon
Yeah shame is a bit lame. It should be funny, if possible (if you can make that work out). But not a lot comes to my mind.

What kind of leaderbordses? Ratio character/upvotes? Leaderbord of flagged persons. Leaderbord of long discussions -> i.e. people responding in the same thread. Leaderbord of most flagged comments and people w/ most flagged. Leaderbord on people who use the word karma often.

n0tahacker··on Chemist Rafael Luque suspended without pay for thirteen years
I am not a scientist in this field and can not evaluate the quality of his studies. But if you let ChatGPT do the "non-scientific" work, this seems to be okay to me. Also, I think that with the time there will be better mechanisms for evaluating studies/scientists as generating spam will be easier. But nonetheless, I think these rankings don't fulfill a scientific need. A scientific discovery can be important, but that doesn't mean anyone recognizes that.
n0tahacker··on 2001: A Space Odyssey
I love this film. In the beginning, you are enerved and thinking that it‘s really boring. But in the end, the feeling is fascinating. I like the long sequences and how the tension is built up. Great film.

I am not an expert in this topic, but John Locke wrote a lot about it. https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/abs/10.2307/2130435?jo...

Do you also know the plaquette "View this in any browser"??
n0tahacker··on Why Americans Care About Work So Much
"Workism" comes from protestantism: Ora et Labora. America is a protestantic country, so I am not wondering why work is so important to them.
n0tahacker··on Apple Music Classical
Funny, you recognize sometimes that they took tracks from Youtube: https://classical.music.apple.com/de/album/1553740049 Here, look at "J.S. Bach: Cellosuite Nr. 1 in G-Dur, BWV1007: I. Prelude (Transc. for Guitar), which is recorded by Ana Vidovic. At 1:28, she is making a small error, which she is also making at this YT video at 1:40: https://youtu.be/zBdK-ailioA
n0tahacker··on SFUSD's delay of algebra 1 has created a nightmare of workarounds
I know people who go to private schools because they don't want to put a burden on the state.
n0tahacker··on Italian privacy regulator bans ChatGPT
If this persists: I ask myself which longterm effects this is going to have on the Italian economy. Would be interesting to have studies.
n0tahacker··on Grand jury votes to indict Donald Trump
I think the main question is: Why does Trump get indicted and Bush does not? The answer could be: Bush did a crime that supported some of the elite's supposed interests, while Trump demystified the president's role, which is clearly against the interests of "the elite", if you want to call it like that. In my opinion, war crimes are far worse than not declaring hush money correctly, but everybody has their own priorities.

Which raises the question if one part of the establishment can protect you from the consequences of the law.
n0tahacker··on Senate Bill to Ban TikTok
I think this attitude is wrong. A strong democracy doesn't need to fight "fake news" legally and doesn't need their own propaganda op in foreign states like Radio Free Asia etc. If you are banning foreign media in your own country, you are doing the same as China in the end. Why not establish a great firewall?
n0tahacker··on Senate Bill to Ban TikTok
What about the free market and internet freedom?
n0tahacker··on Apple Music Classical
I know an artist who has a bandcamp profile, but doesn't make a lot of money over it. It's mostly a business card for getting booked. But that might apply to Spotify for not very well known artists, too.

n0tahacker··on Apple Music Classical
I am on a german university. Will see if that's possible, thanks.
n0tahacker··on Apple Music Classical
That's right. But what I really like at Spotify is that I can start a track on my iPhone, which is connected to my music box, and then add tracks to the waiting list or change them from my iPad. I really miss this option in Apple Music.
n0tahacker··on Apple Music Classical
I am a student with not a lot of money and I really love classical music. I don't have to pay for Spotify due to Spotify family. Also, I really don't like the cliché that classical music is mostly for the well-earning élite. Classical music is just great music. Totally agree with you. Like the idea of a seperate app; when I am streaming my favorite music on Spotify, it's sometimes weird to listen to some piece of contemporary music and then a classical piece.
