uxhacker··on Ask HN: Is OpenAI governance structure fit for purpose?
But what is to stop them creating a parallel political structure of non-dividend shares given to a selection of people from different backgrounds and nationalities to hold the board accountable?
uxhacker··on Board Members (2014)
But OpenAI believe that they will develop AGI, maybe they will, and may they won’t, and also highly unlikely if they don’t close the next round, but that misses the point.

They believe that they will and therefore we need to ask is their governance structure fit for purpose if they achieve their goals?

uxhacker··on Board Members (2014)
So the big issue is that the control is in so few hands? If we are to believe that OpenAI will develop AGI is this not a form of dictatorship? Should there be a kind of surrogate shareholders who the board answer to?
uxhacker··on There is a new version of GPT-4 Turbo now live in ChatGPT
I use it for several purposes. I most recently used it to find a recèpe for Limecreate for some Ukrainian builders and translate the recipe to Ukrainian.

I also use it to be build multi linguistic tasks lists in English, Polish and Ukrainian for Google sheets.

I also just used it to help create crop planting plan for a farm in Kenya which has just had massive floods, with a constraint that local produce reaches the highest value in December and January. The other constraint is that some of the crops have survived but not all. It is an interesting yield management experiment

uxhacker··on The Humane AI Pin Launches Its Campaign to Replace Phones
So when will it launch in Poland and or Europe?

One question is does it work over Wifi when there is no wireless coverage?

Also what would roaming costs do when you travel?

uxhacker··on The Humane AI Pin Launches Its Campaign to Replace Phones
Do you know when it will launch in Poland or Europe? I want one.

I often have to deal with communicating with people in other languages this would save me so much time.

uxhacker··on Grain farming goes indoors
There is very little logistics in Sudan. The roads are often unpaved. The cost of road hauling the wheat will probably double the cost.

But on the other hand there is lots of sunlight for solar.

uxhacker··on Grain farming goes indoors
This would not be the case if you where growing the wheat in a tropical climate where wheat would not normally grow.

For example think of Sudan. Most of the current supplies need to be shipped by ship and then expensively transported inland.

But Sudan has lots of sunlight.

uxhacker··on Startups now spend more on Airbnb than on office rent
Why are they using AirBnb rather than hotels, is it just price or is there something hotels don’t offer?
uxhacker··on The Downside to Life in a Supertall Tower: Leaks, Creaks, Breaks
I am doing a restoration of an old palace in Poland, the biggest issue is often the contractors do not understand the architect’s drawings.

The drawings are more for the regulators such as building control than actually for the people working on site.

Talking to the constructors it is normal for architects to specify the impossible, leaving it to the constructor to actually make it up on the job.

Somebody said to me that over 30% of construction costs is waste.

It looks like there is an opportunity to implement lean methods in construction. And weirdly implement Alexander’s ideas patterns and anti patterns.

uxhacker··on Caesarean babies have different gut bacteria, microbiome study finds
I thought the same, but No, as the original hypothesis was the bacteria came from the vaginia, but this study shows it comes from gut. It maybe because during delivery women often have anal fissures.
uxhacker··on Caesarean babies have different gut bacteria, microbiome study finds
Yes, before it was believed that the bacteria came from the vaginia, but now it looks like it comes from the gut.
uxhacker··on A trip to Amarna, the desert city of Akhenaten
I think he points it out in the article how it is mainly foreigners that are both leading the work, and are interested in Egyptology.

I don't know if you have read Edward Said work, Orientalism, but this explains the article. What interests the readers of HN, and the Guardian is the romanticized past rather than the reality of now. But Peter Hessler in a way brings this up.

Is Orientalism that bad ? If it gets people interested in a geographic region. We have many more conflicts which are just ignored like West Papa, or even Sudan now.

uxhacker··on Ethiopian Max Crash Simulator Scenario Stuns Pilots
Link to the forum post explaining how to execute the yo-yo manoeuvre, mentioned in the article. What is interesting was one pilot mentioned that the yo-yo procedure dates all the way back to the 707 for a runaway trim. The 737 was derived from the 707 and 727. The 707 was the first Jet Airliner.

uxhacker··on Four-day week trial: study finds lower stress but no cut in output
I wonder if the productivity is maintained as we can only think for so many hours a day. If you look at famous writers such as Hemingway they only worked for a few hours a day. So the question is how does this translate to work that has a less cognitive load ? Has anybody done experiments with programing and hours worked ?

uxhacker··on The Riots in France Are What Happens When Facebook Changes It Algorithm
Facebook has changed people's behaviour. The amount of people that wish me well on my birthday has greatly increased due to Facebook making it is easier to do so. On the other hand Facebook has made it easier to spread information. With this increase in power does the platform have an extra responsibility ?
uxhacker··on The Riots in France Are What Happens When Facebook Changes It Algorithm
The key question is what responsibility does facebook have ? If it is just a platform, or does it carry the same responsibility a newspaper would have to a reader's letter ?
uxhacker··on The first domesticated foxes [video]
So when I was a kid I when visiting my family in Australia I tamed a Cockatoo. A Cockatoo is an Australian Parrot, After I left back for the UK, my aunt never forgave me. Joe, the Cockatoo became very dependent on the family.

I grew up on the Kings Road in London and a local shop has a pet lion called Christian. A film was made about Christian been returned to the wild. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btuxO-C2IzE

In my 30's I tried to tame some foxes, using dog food as a sign of peace. They would enter my cottage when I had the TV on, but would never go closer than about 5 feet.

But it was quite cool having foxes in one's own house. It used to scare quests, who would normally think they were wild dogs.

BUT I know belive wild animals should be wild. We project meaning on them, that is our interpretation.

uxhacker··on Using deep learning to detect malaria in images
This is really important. I caught Malaria in Ghana, but the symptoms did not develop until I was in the UK. The hospital wanted to identify the type of Malaria I had before treating me, which I think was a mistake. In Ghana they take a blood sample and then immediately start treatment. The treatment can always be altered if the strand is different from the best course of action.

But the issue was they had a hard time identifying the type because I did not have one type of Malaria but two. In a hospital in the temperate world they do not have the cases to gather the skills to be able to quickly identify the strand.

uxhacker··on How Two Years of Instagram Stories Has Altered the Way We Love, Act and Play
Marshall Mcluhan would say that we have moved from hot to a cool media. Going from the mainly text based internet of old to one that is very visual. Hot media is a media of words and sounds and a cool one is that of rich media. Somebody who is good at projecting an image does well in a cool media.
uxhacker··on How Two Years of Instagram Stories Has Altered the Way We Love, Act and Play
It is interesting how the web has become about portraying oneself rather than new ideas. In a way it has become a massive propaganda machine in how wonderful the world is.
uxhacker··on All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace (2011)
Future Shock by Alvin Toffler in 1972 narrated by Orson Welles is well worth adding to the list of documentaries to watch. Much of what Toffler/Welles touch is very relevant now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkUwXenBokU
