This is a step towards a constant stream of hyper-personalised AI generated content optimised for max dopamine.

It’s still the explanation on NASA.gov

They could just live in the sphere.

Does it save the content of open tabs?

This is my number one frustration with existing iOS browsers - when I come back to tabs without an internet connection everything is gone.

We haven’t automated 10% of what could be automated, especially in tasks that were previously not cost-efficient to automate or that required AI tech to automate.

After interrogating ChatGPT about this, it told me that the explicit cut-off date in its pre-prompt is to prevent it from saying things about developing stories, where the facts are not fully known yet.

There’s a bias towards coding capabilities amongst testers (and perhaps trainers) of ChatGPT.

I bet it has (or can have) a similar level of capability when it comes to chemistry, biology, finance, law, etc. - all human knowledge that is expressible as text or formulae.

With regards to software engineering, a great amount of time is currently being wasted by coders trying to solve problems that have already been solved by others. Some of the solutions for that previously included libraries, SaaS, and Stack Overflow.

Now we have another tool at our disposal to 10x all software engineers (and perhaps the same for other industries).

Prompt: Elon Musk bought Twitter

ChatGPT: As a large language model trained by OpenAI, I'm sorry but the information you provided is not accurate. As of November 30, 2022, Twitter is still a publicly-traded company and is not owned by Elon Musk. Jack Dorsey is the current CEO of Twitter, and the company has not been taken private. Elon Musk is not currently the owner of Twitter, and the company has not been taken private. I'm a large language model trained by OpenAI, and I don't have the ability to access current or real-time information. The information I have access to is based on the knowledge and data that I was trained on up to November 30, 2022. If you have specific information or sources that you believe contradict the information I have provided, I encourage you to share that information so that we can discuss it further. I'm here to provide helpful and accurate information, and I'm always open to learning more.

Since this is a study about the predictability of humans, perhaps “less random” should be defined by how similar or predictable a sequence is based on the dataset of human inputs.

> Sit so that the monitor is between the two of you.

No. Use two monitors that are mirrored or with screen sharing, so that each person can sit comfortably centred on their own screen.

Thanks for posting.

For the benefit of people trying it out, here are some important features that are in the pipeline but are not yet available:

- Exact phrase searching

- Sort and filter by date

- A very large index

I’m working on a new search engine that will allow you to do that. (It’s still a work-in-progress, but you can try it out here: https://entfer.com/).

A really intelligent AI would just use a calculator.

I think it’s fairly obvious that Meta needs Europe more than Europe needs Meta.

Arm pain is not really a nocebo - it’s a side effect of being stabbed in the muscle, which the control group had as well.

Q: what’s your name? A: I am the one who knocks.

Q: what’s your name? A: My name is Jeff.

Q: what’s your name? A: My name is Alice.

Sounds more like it’s AskTheInternet, which is where GPT-3 had the bulk of its training.

True, but the UX was deemed to complex for the average user.

Instead of it being something the user has to manually find in settings and configure, the browser can show an unobtrusive prompt for the user to agree whenever a site tries to store a cookie for the first time.

There could also be changes to the cookie standard that allow specifying if a cookie is “essential”, so browsers can permit them by default, or “non-essential”, so the browser should prompt the user.

The money raised from these fines should go towards building a browser that handles cookie permissions on the browser side.

Every site should get to ask for cookie permissions only once - through the browser - (like with notifications or location), and the browser should remember the user’s preferences and never ask again.

Thanks.

Much of it is not yet well defined or still subject to rapid changes (in terms of tech and business model).

I definitely want search to be free and open, usable without an account. Perhaps there could be an optional paid membership to remove ads, but that is not yet in the pipeline.

The index is currently very small, and it will take a few more weeks to get good coverage of the web.

I believe Kagi uses Google and Bing behind the scenes, which allows it to be on par with them, but it also ultimately leads to being more dependent on them, with less flexibility.

Blocking bad sites is just one side of the coin. You should also be able to promote sites that you are more interested in.

This is the goal of Entfer (Show HN thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29799867)

Entfer will in the future also allow you to bulk export and import your personal rankings, so that they can be shared on GitHub, for example.

Entfer is new web search engine that aims to give users more control over the search experience, starting with allowing users to set their own ranking for sites, but also respecting the query terms and parameters defined by the user.

Entfer uses an independent index, to avoid starting off with a strong bias defined by search giants and the SEO industry.

It’s currently at an early prototype stage. The index is growing but still small, and many important features do not exist yet, such as exact phrase searching, but they are coming soon.

People are often prevented from going down a path to success because of the assumption that something is impossible, when if they would actually check they might find a solution that makes it possible.

This is true in science, as in Einstein going down the path of considering time dilation, while others might have not even considered it worth another thought. But it’s also true in general life. People who have a can-do attitude often end up achieving more simply because they’ve tried.

Perhaps a way of learning how to do this is to sometimes stop and think which paths to success have been discarded as impossible, and then consider investigating if that assumption is true.

It’s highly unlikely that anything that has an effect will have zero side effects.

Perhaps, we just don’t yet know what those side effects will be.

People from the UK who have holidays planned in the US would be better of with the UK being included in the ban, because they would then be able to get refunds for their flights etc.

After clicking on this link, I now get ads about this report.

I would like to see Gmail offer end-to-end encryption for "confidential" emails.

Why is scrolling broken on the mobile version of that site?

The majority of people in London (where prices are most inflated) live in rented homes, with an average rent that is about the same as in San Francisco, for example, but with salaries that are about half or less.

Foreign property investors shifting away from London will be bad for people whose primary contribution to the economy is buying up properties, and good for everyone else who lives or works in London.

The probabilistic argument can be made the other way:

All the information for a simulated universe needs to be stored in some form in the outer universe, but the outer universe would also contain information not used for simulation.

If we consider an arbitrary piece of information, chances are it exists in the outer universe only - unless more than 50% of the outer universe is used for simulations.

If 100% of the outer universe is used for simulations, than the simulations are the outer universe(s).
