First of all, as per Betteridge's law of headlines the answer is No. Not GPT-3, anyway, it hasn't been trained to be performant in coding.

But I am sure future language models will give developers lots of new projects to work on. Automate all sorts of office tasks, build a research bot, a teaching bot, counselling bot, writing aid bot, coding bot, natural interface to knowledge bases, automated information extraction from all sorts of unstructured and semi-structured documents, news monitoring and digest, emotional support chat bots, NPC game bots, math problem solving, etc.

And it's not just about better prompting, we need to improve the training set to include more examples of the desired tasks, monitor it for bias and profanity, measure its performance, integrating it in all sorts of places.
Theoretically it's all good but if in your quest for your life goals you meet others to whom those goals came easily or even naturally (Third World citizen working hard as an immigrant to get a better passport and be able to travel easily for example), you can get disheartened and depressed rather easily.
That's exactly it. If it is inbound you can't trust it.

Personally I think we need to step back and work out why the fuck anyone is OK with Twitter "accounts that could start a war"? And yet here we are.

Can anyone explain how the term "Karen" isn't both racist and sexist at the same time? I hadn't heard of it until a few months ago, and now it seems everyone is using it to refer to a certain kind of "middle class white woman". A term like that to describe a certain kind of middle class asian or black man would be very offensive. Are the days where we try to exercise civility and empathy gone? It feels like society has gone from "let's tolerate people" to "let's ridicule people we don't like, without logical argument".

Blaming the disappearance of tiny businesses in residential neighborhoods by saying "It's all those middle class white women" seems both very shallow and specious.

The file-drawer effect is real and multifaceted, including political narrative strategy. If you don't think that editors consider this aspect of maintaining their journals' reputations, you are simply naive.
Support for formulas is the killer feature here. Formula that update when you cut / add rows & columns. Would be a happy paying customer once that's live and reliable.

What's the legal status of retweets? From a technical point of view, the user is not making any copies but only referring to another post, and it's Twitter who creates the preview.

Furthermore, how has Twitter ever been able to operate in Japan in the first place, if they have not made any concessions by disabling features that are considered to be in violation of local legislation?
At a Facebook office I saw many people bringing their other half + kids to the office for dinner.

I know all the arguments of "it's to make you stay longer" but having the option of a free, zero-effort, healthy & balanced food option available to my family is a very useful perk in my eyes.

As a family, a healthy zero-effort meal is going to set you back £40-80 in London (£10-20 per head). Even on a FAANG salary, doing that regularly on your own earnings is a little frivolous.
A case against someone peacefully demonstrating? How so?
Yes, correlation is not causation and all that, but when I was there I was struck by how very little obesity there was. I later learned that Japan has the highest life expectancy in the world.
I believe this decision punishes Twitter - not the users.
Regarding DNN inference FPGA can provide low latency AND higher throughput than GPUS.

The real benefit of owning the console space isn't money, it's forcing all the console developers to develop specifically for your hardware. If you want to eke out all the performance on Xbone or PS4, you must take full advantage of AMD's CPU/GPU architecture.
I used pass (unix passwordstore) before. I found it extremely comfortable when I'm working with just my system. I did find the inconvenience of setting it up cross platform when it depends on my gpg key. How do people access their gpg keys in phones or a new laptop for example? Do you store it somewhere online? How do you make sure not to lose the gpg key? When I got my new system now, I forgot to backup my key and lost my previous passwords. This is the only challenge(?) I face. Other than that I love everything about pass.

Now I'm testing waters with bitwarden. I like the cross platform functionality so far and the self hosting option. I also like that I just need a master password and don't have to worry about keeping any extra keys safe. I'm not a security expert so I'm not sure whether encrypting before syncing with bitwarden servers is actually safe (this is what bitwarden does afaik). I'm yet to try out their cli option. I also wonder what would happen to my passwords if it shuts down abrubtly. Do I have a backup/copy of the passwords somewhere? This is something that concerns me, where I feel pass is superior. Maybe if there was an option for pass, to use passphrase for encryption rather than gpg, that'd be really cool (maybe not good security wise? I'm unsure on this aspect)

I also liked that when I add the URI of the website login, it gives the icon for it too. Bitwarden's user experience is top notch. I recommended my parents to try it out, except for a few basic questions they were up and running within a few minutes. That's something I really appreciate.

If anyone has self hosted bitwarden, how do you make sure that it is safe from attacks? I'm still exploring this option. Bitwarden uses azure and lets the MS team take care of managing the infra (I'm guessing this includes taking care of attacks).

The photographer wants to email the retweeters. The reason isn't stated but he could send them a bill for use of his image and threaten to take them to court if they don't pay it.

This is not something a reasonable person would do, but it is technically within his rights under the law. There are occasionally people online in Japan who send bills to people (mainly magazines) who quote them or use images on Twitter in ways they don't like.

It can be great but after 6 weeks I just needed to get out of my home. Maybe it would be different if you could go out more and not everything would be closed.

That said, I have a 15 minutes walk to work. What I would like are flexible models. Maybe three days in office, two at home or something like that. Granted, that doesn't save money and I also detest workstation sharing or open offices.

Conferences are nice and all, but there is no technical replacement for meeting people in person. Especially since with conferences, your exchanges are often limited to the people relevant to your job, so basically I mostly talked to nerds.

Still, the stuff you mentioned is very convenient of course. I feel it is a bit unfair to colleagues that work in production. Those just don't have the option for home office.
FPGAs aren't state machines or processors. Not inherently, anyway, even if you can build those things out of them or if they sometimes are sold co-packaged.

And their internal architecture is pretty well documented. See, for example, the Spartan-6 slices: https://www.xilinx.com/support/documentation/user_guides/ug3...

What's less well documented, at least publicly, is the routing, but on some level that's less interesting since it's "just" how you get the electrons from point A to point B, not about choosing A or B. But even the routing is decently well described, though you have to look in some fairly obscure places (like the device floorplan viewer).

I'm not sure why you think FPGAs emulating ASICs is a "waste of potential". By definition, ASICs are strictly more capable and more powerful than FPGAs, so you're climbing up the potential ladder, not down!
They may have changed it, but a few years back I did product feeds to Amazon and had to read the documentation. Basically Amazon will only search the title of the product page, nothing else.

That's why the title of the products are stupid long with everything crammed in. But yeah, you can find anything on Amazon, the site is basically broken unless you know the exact thing you want, brand, name and all.

It's not even that good at searching books anymore.

The Design Resource E-Book
The metaphor is a little tortured but finding a crew and charting a course are also towards the goal so at least in this metaphor it doesn't really matter what the current state is. There are clear goals to move towards. Said another way, choosing a goal is also a goal to work towards.
this sounds like a really great tool and I'm sure that many teams will soon see what great advantages there are to being in touch, a lot like a chat room with a visible connection I guess. It sounds like great tool for sharing ideas and sharing the flow of energy in a group, less formal than a meeting, but a quick meeting can be convened at a simple call to discuss an idea, good luck with the development and progress, i can imagine a lot of similar idea spin offs coming soon too, so I hope you cover all bases for implementation,
The crew thought it would be a smooth ride. But then came a storm and they all gave up hope.

It is known that if you think the way to your goal is a smooth ride you can end up in a very big depression when things don't go as planned.
there's something that I'm definitely missing if people refer to google sheets (or any kind of google product really, except google.com homepage.. maybe) as stuff with "good performance". Every action, keystroke, menu opening, whatever, is laggy to a frustrating degree in these software compared to non-browser-engine-based apps.

Like, I just did a test, and it takes, more than 5 seconds from a "refresh" to all the UI elements of gdocs showing up, versus less than 3 seconds from a fresh start of libreoffice, and less than 2 seconds if I'm having the LO daemon running in the background. And LO is much more featureful, & my install has a few additional plug-ins, some of them using freaking java. It also takes 4-5 seconds to make an export of that doc from docx to odt while it's pretty instantaneous with LO.

And, before anyone comments on my specs, I have gigabit fiber internet, an HEDT i7, 64 gigs of RAM and a GTX 1080. Everything should be instant on these specs.

The idea of separating business and living into distant zones and forbidding trading within residential areas has always infuriated me with its absurdity. Who could possibly come up with it? It only makes sense when it's about noisy and air-polluting businesses, grocery/whatever stores and offices are absolutely great to be dispersed within residential areas!
> The idea that permanently preserving nonsense like the “character” of neighbourhood, at the cost of affordable housing and business rent has to be one of the most anti-social mobility, anti-equality, openly classist ideas we have in our society. “But what if somebody builds an apartment tower next to my expensive Victorian house?”

I'm sure there's that too, but a lot of it is a result of an "unholy alliance" of democracy and economics. For most people their home is the single most valuable asset they have. So they have an interest in maximizing the value of it. One way of maximizing the value is by increasing scarcity. And thus you have the well off people (as in, the ones who already own property in the area) packing the local planning boards, preventing higher density development. Or home owner associations with all kinds of anal rules how your house and yard is supposed to look and what you can do there, etc.

Of course, these types of incentive problems are everywhere. E.g. in my country, like I suppose in many developed countries, there's an under-supply of medical doctors. So how many doctors do we need? Hmm, lets ask the experts, the national medical association. Who of course has no interest in inflating the wages and job opportunities of their members..

(It's true there are a bunch of important things that PGP has helped solve. Ubiquitous person-to-person secure communication and person-to-service cryptographic authentication are not amongst them. PGP is certainly usefully employed in some niche use cases, but it has failed at pretty much all it's original goals. I can't remember that last time I used it for anything except verifying a software download, and even _that_ use case only applies to a tiny fraction of places that hoist software downloads. My Arch linux installs running pacman and silently checking php signatures for me may be the only time I've had PGP code run in maybe a decade...)

I have never really thought about this before or heard it discussed, because usually only the behavior of the initial poster is at issue (since they can just delete the tweet and fix the whole problem).

If you are unfamiliar with Twitter, you could consider a user's timeline like their "home page", since they control it, and an RT could be considered a form of "reposting", because you put it in places it had not been before.

I don't think that's a reasonable line of thought, but it is consistent.
RISC-V is modular in the same way Windows or x86 is. Yeah, you can break up opcodes into groups and say there's some kind of probe to find out what groups are present. If your app needs that module then you're out of luck - it needs a different chip. This is nothing special and I don't see why it'd change anything fundamentally, competition wise.
> I'm curious to hear how you are making the jump from "empiricism and the scientific method are simply better at making predictions about the world" to deriving any kind of moral order that instructs how you ought to act in this world.

I'm curious to hear why you need an explicit moral order in your life at all.

Imagine you didn't believe in any religion, if you happen to be religious now, and further imagine we were alone and nobody would know what you or I did after it was done. If I walked up to you and gave you a gun, would you shoot me? I'm pretty sure you wouldn't. My society is pretty sure you wouldn't. It has, after all, bet the existence of New York City on that proposition. NYC has a population of a bit over eight million. If even 0.1% of them were utterly amoral and violent, the city would collapse under the weight of eight thousand murderers. Extrapolate for Tokyo, London, Beijing, Singapore... humanity bets quite a lot on the notion that most people, when handed a way to commit a perfect murder, would not do so.

No. If a person moves from a 4-5 bedroom house to a studio apartment their cost of living will come down even if living in the same city. They are paid for the work not where they live.

Do people in general take these ratings seriously?

They seem clearly bogus in that they're by English-speaking press and happen to rate all the English-speaking universities top.

My question is-- what platforms and technologies should I be using?

Unless you're operating at a scale where tech is the bottleneck (and by the sounds of it you won't be) it doesn't matter. There is no "should" here. Optimize for the dev experience and for writing robust, bug-free code. I'd recommend TypeScript and FireBase, with React Native for the mobile apps, but only because that's what I trust for doing the sort of thing you're talking about. If ten more people post you'll get ten more recommendations.

Hmm. Mode 7 is certainly neat but a big draw with BBC BASIC is the ease with which the other modes that do support graphics can be used and, of course, sound. For example, there's a crazy version of Axel F written in BBC BASIC out there somewhere.

(The other really cool thing is the BBC Micro had a built-in assembler so you could embed assembly language directly in your BASIC program.)
