What does a GPT-3 future look like? If I ask it to fill in lyrics for a song or facts about companies and this comes from the knowledge it gained by “reading” a vast corpus, how is this different than a person reading the Genius site, memorizing the song, and the transcribing the lyrics?

Too me this is the endgame for all of these complains about search not being ten blue links anymore. Future knowledge engines will be vast AIs that have assimilated information into internal self organized structures, and will synthesize requests for that knowledge “in its own voice”

Unless AIs are lifting content by overfitting and making exact replicas instead of expressing the same facts in an entirely new way, I don’t think people will be a able to sue especially when the process by which the answer arrived is a massive Rube Goldberg contraption with 100 billion parameters.

GPT-3 for example can already extract information from SEC EDGAR reports, a service other companies often charge money for.

The "stack" gets more and more complicated so "full stack" will stop to be a thing in the future.

If you are already good in react, learn more libraries / frameworks in that ecosystem and increase your day rate. You are a frontend architect now.

I'd start with things like nextjs, Gatsby or Redux saga.

You could also go into the devops side of Frontend. Learn the different approaches of deploying / scaling a Frontend with server-side rendering (vercel, digital Ocean, docker...)
> "Nowhere on Tinder's website, privacy policy, or in its terms and conditions does the company say that it will charge you a different price based on your personal data," Choice's Erin Turner said.

This is the key bit here. You go in expecting a level-ish playing field (it's not really level, obviously, but for other reasons.) Turns out that to even get access to the same service as young people, you have to pay 5 times as much as them. Dating when you're older is already difficult so making it even more difficult isn't exactly great.

Now, the argument here is that Premium is a choice, you don't have to get it. That's true but I still find it unfair that certain categories get an artificially inflated price. I'm fine with discounts for younger people as they tend to earn less (especially queer women, which are noted as having the lowest asking price for Premium.) However, it shouldn't come at the expense of other users.
That logic is baffling. If it's so easy to render a plane unsafe that they're frightened of letting someone pentest it, surely that would indicate a major problem that it's much better to find out about on your own terms?
An interesting thing about percentage change in GDP is it's worse on the downside than the upside. If GDP falls 40% one year, then rises 40% next year, it's not back at 100% of what it was before, it's actually only back to 84% (1.4 * 0.6).
At the start, they planned to ignore it completely and aim for herd immunity.
That's a good idea. It'd probably be great for me to start a non web-app side-project.
They'd need to put in a ticket to get it installed, which I would need to approve. But also, this isn't to stop malice it's to stop accidental edits. I can't stop my employees from messing with things if they want to. That's where the trust part and common goals come into play.
I'm not sure that's true given the current printing press outputs. And even if it is true, the link to official GDP figures is very weak. And even if it weren't, you only have half the GDP figures: we're down X now but we will be up Y when we re-open. If Y>X then we're laughing. And even if all this were not the case, what price a human life and is it a bad thing if for 6m people spend more time at home with their kids being happy but don't spend much?

That's the issue here. One data point, of spurious accuracy, which we fully know and expect to be an outlier is being used to imply an economic trend and that trend is being extended to social trend. I could just as well say "the stock market is up so we are clearly fine"...
Kindergarten Quantum Mechanics
Surprised nobody else mentioned this, so I will show how old I am. :-)

I learned to touch type in the early 1980's in California. On manual typewriters with blank keys.

For the first month or so we were required to follow lessons that were on a wall in front of us, so looking at the keys and back was practically impossible. There was also a key chart on the wall for reference.

Once we had the basics of touch typing down, we would work from lesson books propped up next to the typewriters.

Correction was not an option: if you made a mistake you could start over or lose points. I would start over.

This didn't make me an especially fast young typist but it did make me an accurate one. After learning this way I did a lot of writing on the glorious IBM Selectric and got fast.

Since the typewriters had no markings whatsoever on the keys, and I went to a small school with no money for special kit, I assume this is just the way typing was taught in America for some time, and around the 1980's they started teaching it less and/or differently.

Now, a million years later, I still love manual typewriters. All this computer work has made me a fast but somewhat sloppy typist. The "delete" key changed the incentives.

Sure, in an ideal world an 18 year old who just started driving and a 50 year old who just got their licence should have identical rates, but in practice that's not the case - the older person will have a lower premium despite also having zero experience behind the wheel. Having a clean record is a thing you can work towards and can be rewarded with a lower premium - being older is not.

What I find interesting, is that those who were betting on Brexit were probably doing so thinking it might be a little bit tough in the short term believing the UK will end up being stronger in the end.

With such a massive recession already happening, and talks around Brexit going nowhere, they are really not going to have a nice next 5/10 years.

I have just left the UK, several Europeans I know, working in tech, are doing the same. Not data backed, just personal experience. Maybe this is going to be even tougher than expected. Hopefully not.
What kind of projects are you taking on with Rust ?
Get into security, specifically web app security pentesting.

You'll thank me later.
I'd say yes in principle, because the cost of providing insurance is mostly the cost of risk which objectively and significantly correlates with age. Same for health insurance for example. Taking more profit off younger drivers would still be wrong though imo.

If the underlying cost of the service is legitimately and significantly affected by age, sure, charge accordingly. Tinder's case seems different.

The examples above are about age because any rules about age at least apply more or less consistently to all people as people age over time. I'm not saying that doing the same kind of pricing by other personal traits such as race or gender or eye color would be ok, just so that we're clear.
Ha! I had exactly the same thought.

Maybe take out the "old" too? Or do you really think age discrimination is uncommon?
Wouldn't go as far as saying it is cultural imposition, it is just ignorance.
No because the drivers that come with the default install (that automatically get installed when you plug in the device, even when offline) contain all that crap as well. It wouldn’t even be the first time if these become incompatible and cause blue screens after a Windows Build upgrade.
If the concern is initial provisioning I handle that by using Ubuntu server for my RPi cluster. Ubuntu server for the RPi supports using cloud-init for initial configuration of the server.

In my case I only have 2 different configurations, controller node and worker node. When deploying a new worker node I use a single digit line count shell script to produce the cloud-init files for that node from my template. Basically the only changes between worker nodes are the host name and static IP assigned. I then copy the resulting files to the FAT partition of the boot sdcard.

Someday I might replace this with network booting and something like ansible but for now this is an easy solution and handles 99% of my particular needs.
Oh, that makes sense.
Doesn't affect me personally I just thought it sounded weird from an outside perspective.
It's perfectly normal that these decisions aren't necessarily being made because of operating costs, pricing in general is arbitrary and does not have to have any relation whatsoever with costs.

This has ways to handle all the problems i currently manually implement. Any idea of getting a python api ?
I have the same problem: I can type fast but not properly — 120 wpm with 2 fingers — and any attempt I’ve made to learn to type “properly” has decreased my error rate... and my speed so much that any error-rate reduction gains aren’t worth it. I feel like, after typing a specific way for decades, it’s practically impossible to ever change effectively.
Just curious, is there a way governments could somehow block access to those satellites or force the companies behind them to deny access for people of their country?

Learn C. Then maybe one of the newer systems languages like rust, zig, D, nim, etc. If you’re bored with CRUD, there’s a whole other (bigger) world to explore when you get a little closer to the metal. It’s tremendously empowering and fun as hell to get you’re hands dirty a bit, so to speak. You’ll also become a better and more employable programmer as a nice side effect.
> "Either types aren't true sum types because Either<A, B> isn't the same type as Either<B, A>."

that's such a weird argument! did he also complain that tuples aren't true product types because (A, B) isn't the same as (B, A) ? why would they be the same, and not just isomorphic?
This and the servers/linux stuff is the most interesting part of my job. I do have my doubts about being able to get into it since I suppose you really have to master low level dev (which I don't) and I don't think I can get a job as self-taught in this field.

Remember that there are a range of intensities to all of these symptoms!

For me it results in disaster more often than not.

> Only your actual driving record,

In practice this argument leads to insurance companies charging thousands per year for all new drivers, and then giving discounts to drivers willing to install surveillance devices that report all aspects of the driver's driving.

Recessions aren't "normal times". Despite externalities, whether economic abnormalities, pandemics and so on, it still hits the savings account the same and worth comparing for history's sake.
It does work like this in some places, and younger drivers aren't any better off in terms of pricing, speaking from personal experience. So this is 95% just pricing by age "with extra steps" as they say.

Consider this: if the first accident happens to an average person after 10 years of driving, young people will take a loooong time to build a driving record that can even be considered average let alone good. And you can't start charging higher rates only after the crash, such rates would need to be so high as to be ompletely prohibitive. Bottom line, young people will never be paying as good a price as older people under any system that has a semblance of fairness to it. Sadly.

Weird, because considering that wildly disproportionate numbers of fb executives are Jewish, your point seems extremely manipulative, abusive, and gaslighting. So you are saying that reality is lying to us and you are telling the truth?

Funny enough is that the very term "stereotype" was invented by a Jewish person as a trigger word to gaslight in the very same way. The very word "stereotype" is an abusive gaslighting ... "don't trust reality, believe what I am telling you".

You should learn C. Life is too short to struggle with C++ now that we have better alternatives such as Rust.

You can also ignore the people who ignore the complexity of web apps. Classic C programs are very often much simpler than full web apps IMHO.
I came across an old copy of Come Over to My House which we have now read _many_ times. It is nice to have an accessible cross cultural theme where the characters actually interact with each other.

At our local library newer books sometimes make an attempt but mostly limit themselves to token depictions of a head coverings, black kids, and wheelchairs.

I hope even the somewhat sanitized recent edition will have the staying power of the other more well known stories.

we are in global pandemic, were a lot of people lost jobs, or quality of life decreased.

Despite this stock market is doing well.

The only conclusion I can see is that the stock market is completely decoupled from real life. Biggest parties participating in it are completely unaffected by reality of majority of population.

The same people who are rabidly shouting bitcoin is a pyramid scheme are buying stock of companies not because they trust its a good business model, but because its a a unicorn that will 2x in value for quick sale profit.
There is no right/wrong here, Tinder is a business, not a public square or a public service, you choose willingly to use their service so they can charge whatever they want, nobody is forcing you to use it.

Just like in a night club or country club, the house is free to set whichever memebership rules it wants, if you don't like them you are free to go somewhere else.

Unlike the jobs market, the dating market and its (discriminatory) dynamics is not something the government could regulate.

I'm not sure if this scratches an itch for you, but I would learn more about business via the route of launching a small side-hustle. By having skin in the game, you'll learn a lot about product trade-offs, marketing, selling, etc.

In the best case, you get a profitable side hustle going for yourself (and increase your financial independence). Worst case, you go to your next programming job with a ton of extra skills and insights that have excellent commercial value in the workplace.

I recorded a few videos showing the big picture of my first side hustle (code + marketing) and these might make it concrete and real for you: https://www.semicolonandsons.com/episode/Bird's-Eye-View-of-...
That's a great question. A lot of antibiotics are effluxed out so they don't build up to high levels within the cell. Also, a lot of antibiotics bind to part of the bacterial cell wall, which mitochondria lost over evolution. Antibiotics that inhibit protein synthesis actually do negatively impact mitochondrion but not as bad because of divergences in ribosomal structure compared to bacteria.

I'm a self-taught webdev too and I would strongly recommend learning SQL, not just `SELECT * ...` but really learning it!

I've been digging into postgreSQL and in quite a few applications it's possible to greatly reduce the complexity of the backend by receiving exactly the data you need from the DB. It is so much so that in cases you can even "get rid" of the backend completely (yes, no writing controllers and endpoint, etc.) by using a tool like postgREST (postgres to REST) or Hasura (postgres to graphQL)

Best of luck on your search!

mozilla/rr [1] is an excellent and powerful record/replay debugger written in C/C++.

Over the last few months I've been working on porting rr to the Rust programming language. The port is still in-progress but many things work already.

How about getting back to the basics? You know, taking some maths classes, CS fundamentals, algorithms, data structures, that kind of stuff. It is timeless, and if you are self-taught, I can guarantee you that you have massive holes in your knowledge.

Also, might sound off topic, but learning a new language (not programming, human) could be an amazing step forward, in ways you cannot even imagine now.
