well said


am i misssing something....but what can someone do with this that they cant do on chat gpt.


This case seems like a joke. Seems very "damn if you do and damn if you dont" across the board. DOJ states that Google trains to not use monopolistic language for the very same reason as to what they are trying to be held liable of doing. Seems like it would be a recipe for disaster to save the chats between employees and execs. Holding people accountable word for word that they have in the midst of conversation seems unjust to begin with. . People say things without thinking entirely through- its chat! And the huge bids to be the default browser on phone is the nature of business set forth by the likes of the phone manufactures to begin with. The idea of their being a default search to begin with is the problem. GOOGLE is just playing the game. It shoudl be required that the search engine should be picked at the time of the unboxing of the phone and this rule probably should have been made 15 years ago. The whole case seems like a huge waste of time to me and is another example of the government demonstrating their incompetence with regards to big tech.


Not even sure why they need communications to determine whether its a monopoly or not.... Couldn't they just look at the situation?

when is there going to be an AI that specializes in summarizing terms and conditions


If you ask chatgpt to summarize its TOS would that also count as legal and TOS?


now if someone would go through and remove all the outdated tech support/ trouble shooting


comes down to each individuals relationship with money imo and for that I say "its complicated."


paying more than AI itself .....hate paying month after month fees while I picture the developer sitting on a beach drinking pina coladas


terrific idea! will do that if this makes money, lol


there are no developers sitting on a beach drinking pina coladas


However Pina Coladas are easy to make and a delicious summer treat, with or without alcohol. To make them extra special, cut open a coconut and use a stick blender to make them fresh in the shell!

They require very few ingredients, and none of the ingredients are special to just making cocktails, making Pina Coladas an easily accessible drink to create.

They are also, at their heart, dirt cheap. Canned coconut cream, heat and mix in some sugar to make a coconut cream syrup if so desired, or if you don't mind it less sweet skip this step. Add in some canned pineapple, and some rum, and you have a basic version down.


This resp has very chatgpt tone of voice…


Not sure if I should be insulted or not.

For reference, here is what happens when I ask ChatGPT for a pina colada recipe in a conversational tone

Here's what you'll need:

1 1/2 oz of your favorite rum 2 oz of pineapple juice 2 oz of coconut cream 1 cup of crushed ice A slice of pineapple (if you have it) A cherry (if you want to be fancy) And here's what to do:

1. Put all of the ingredients (rum, pineapple juice, coconut cream, and crushed ice) into a blender.

2. Blend everything together until it's nice and smooth.

3. Pour the mixture into a glass.

4. If you want to make it look extra special, put a slice of pineapple on the rim of the glass and add a cherry on top.

5. Sip and enjoy!

If you like your drinks on the sweeter side, you can add some sugar or simple syrup to the blender before you blend everything together. And if you don't have coconut cream, you can use coconut milk instead, but the drink won't be as creamy.

In general, it completely fails at being conversational at all about it!


As an AI assistant I can't comment on posting recipe comments from AI on HN, but here are the steps for doing it:

true


I bet there are many developers drinking diet coke :)


I think people who say this have never coded outside. Keyboards and sand do not work together.


not what i was saying whatsoever. saying they write the code, and then they collect monthly service fees for something they already did. The SAS model is way over done, and imo this is an example of reiterates that.


Did you try building a SAAS service?

I built a successful one, and sure - it gave me a decent income for 10 years after the initial 1 year of working on it. But altogether it was around €0.5M over it's lifetime, and it took me 5-10 years of unsuccessful projects to finally do one that succeeds.

It is a common experience as well. That's where the saying comes from that "it takes 10 years for an overnight success".

Also, the difference is in payout. When you work for someone, you get paid monthly. When you work on your own thing, you get literal 10 years of people making fun of you and saying "why don't you find a real job", and then - if you succeed - you get the same people complaining that you drink pina coladas.

I've been to the bay area, and it's the most work-intense environment I've ever seen. There is no easy money there.


and screens not bright enough under sun. (Speaking from real experience)


i want this same thing for notion


Try saving your notion page as a PDF and upload it to StudyWand.com - I'd be super keen to hear your thoughts on the flashcards, which use a grounded LLM approach(Founder here).


It already exists natively https://www.notion.so/product/ai

Use the "summarise" option.



can you elaborate more?


What are you referring to as being positive? .i.e. nonfarm payroll growth is not good at this point.


Huh? nonfarm payroll growth is up 263,000 in September.

The most predictive indicator is the unemployment ratio, and it's very low right now.

Perhaps inflation is a better predictive indicator, but we really don't know since we haven't had any for ~40 years. As I said, it's the uncertainty depressing markets IMO, not necessarily the outlook.


Unemployment really needs to be paired with the Labor Force Participation Rate. Unemployment is low, but LFPR is down as well. 10 years ago it hovered steadily around 63.5-64%. The pandemic crushed it, but we're still only back up to around 62.5%.

That's a lot of people not working that simply aren't in the market anymore, unemployment would look a lot worse if they were included.


LFPR is above the level it was pre-pandemic. Immigration is the best way of driving up the LFPR, but that was essentially nil during the pandemic and is still way down. Combine that with the aging population, and a slight increase in LFPR over the last 3 years is much better than could be expected.


Sorry, missed this reply! Here's my source for the LFPR stats I mentioned above, we haven't recovered from early 2020 yet (and are way off from the rates pre-housing crash)
