It would be nice if you could put more explicit bounds on where the prompt starts and ends and where the GPT output starts and ends. I can't tell whether you're making existential commentary on dad jokes or the model. If it's the latter, that's really funny. If it's the former -- well, hmm, I hope it's not.
I've chucked an update post here that uses a variation on your suggested approach https://paul-samuels.com/blog/2022/04/27/more-unit-testing-w...

I did it using the same focus as the original post of trying to show the value of getting a formula behind some tests. In the post having this completely different more Excel like approach helps showcase the benefit of tests, where I can completely change the formula and still be confident things work because tests verify it does.

Cheers for the formula guidance

John: I like China's approach of handling with dissidents, it may have be unfair to some individuals. But, they are able to create a highly functional society that brought out millions out of poverty and can live with peace and prosperity.

Mike:

Yes, I agree with John on this. There will always be people that rebel against the government. These people may be given harsh punishments and/or even killed. If this means that you can have the kind of society that China has today, then that is ok.

John: I think China is a great place to visit. They have a great culture with some of the most exciting tourist sites like the Great Wall.

Mike: It's an exciting place to visit. The culture is certainly amazing and beautiful.

John: There are so many historical things in the Forbidden City. If I could see one in person, I would definitely want to be there.

> It's mainstream news outlets which amplified his every word

They do more than that…they intentionally feed him to keep him in the spotlight . I have seen certain “left leaning” news outlets actually try and prompt commentary out of him on topics he hasn’t really fixated on yet just to try and manufacture news and more controversy.

If you keep saying his name he’ll never go away. Maybe that’s what they want.

Right at the end of all that, there's an IOU for a molecular explanation of puntuated equilibrium. How is the IOU cashed out? Oh, "transcription errors" plus some non-molecular magic.
Transcription errors...think about that. Gradual errors (which are nearly always either neutral or deleterious -- in the real world, mind) that suddenly operate over a very short period to create a new species.
Let me attempt to paraphrase the motivation for PE: "We can't see it happening because it's gradual, but it needs a catastrophe oh there it just happened!"
Or it must have, because reasons. Errors, or something. Fairy dust.

Yeah this is a huge part of it. It's one thing to say "we don't have the resources for high achievers", but it's a million times worse to force them through a shit curriculum because we don't want to acknowledge our school system is largely glorified baby sitting.

Especially for kids from poorer backgrounds it is not easy to just sit on Khan Academy after school. If they can't teach leveled classes they should let kids test out of certain classes, and spend time in a semi-supervised study hall with those free resources instead.

But it's not about resources here, or at least that isn't the main argument they're giving. The mere existence of students that can test out of math is apparently detrimental to others. This seems like over the top sheltering to me.

This does signal what type of person you are dealing with if they don't go along with the word change. For example, if I heard someone using the negro word I would think that there was an excellent chance that person was racist. The renaming also signals to everyone racism isn't acceptable (in a very minor way). It is hard to change a culture but the words we use in one of the ways we do it.

When the world stops being racist this renaming will stop.

A very timely article, I’ve struggled with what to put in a commit message. This gives guard rails to make it easy.
They were both online companies with fairly small teams. He was the sole IT administrator managing the networking on bare metal infra. He did a good job and would respond to emails, calls, or texts, but essentially when he was let go from both organizations (nearly at the same time) it was because they realized they had long ago outgrown the need for a classic sysadmin and mostly their services were starting to migrate to AWS as that was kind of the new thing happening.
Something that hasn’t changed in 3200 years is inconsistent labelling of data.

In this researcher's own words: "It looks like WhatsApp is the place to chat with anybody, making it particularly hard to leave."

He appears to have went off the grid over the last 2 months. I imagine it's a very tumultuous time for him. Russia knows the US really wants to extradite him, and there will inevitably be rounds of negotiations as time moves forward. He may be a potential negotiating piece if the Russians are looking for concessions from Ukraine/NATO. (this is all speculation, but he has went dark)

You discover other users by slowly walking the graph from the people you know and you find the first users in the communities you like through hashtags. It's slow but you eventually build up a pretty good list of people to follow.

Also you generally join a server oriented around the subject(s) you like so you can check the local toot stream for people to follow.

It sounds like you have attached negativity to a relatively harmless word.
This lacks part of what makes Twitter and Reddit usable - the context of a conversation is clear. Here, you just see the latest comments on a thread, but you have to scroll way up to see the conversation up to that point.

In Reddit everything is threaded. In Twitter you respond to specific Tweets. Here, you just have an unorganized list of every comment. So as a casual, I don't feel compelled to participate in conversations that have already started, which is most of them, so I lose interest in engaging with this.
Dirty Secrets of the Linux and Open Source Industry
This makes me think an important question. What can individuals in western countries with imported IP-imperialism do to protect open source and other independent innovation from attempts at censorship by anti-hacking laws such as CFAA, DMCA and their foreign analogues or vaguely worded patent claims leading to a faux-monopoly on innovations?

Better to do something than wave the white flag and surrender all ideas to big-tech companies.
The reply page is hosted on the remote instance often so they can show anything including an error page. I think qoto.org has some extra changes that make this a little more well behaved by hosting it locally (depending on which button you push.)
To me, this feels like something that might be really useful in generating sample code and documentation for APIs, but I'm not sure the cost of producing those samples is worth it. The time taken to create just a basic template of a docstring is a few minutes, but the output is not great.
However, as with most things AI, in time, those that work on this will refine it and make it better. But I don't think that's what this is currently about.
In time, this would be quite useful for filling in documentation for existing packages and modules, but this is not currently the case.
For now, I would just use something like this as a learning tool for learning how to generate docstrings, and not expect it to make any large contributions to my current work.
I don't see this having the kind of AI sophistication that you can write whole apps with.
The idea that a country would be surprised and shocked to find out that other countries - including allies - had plans in place for military operations against them is ludicrous. Every country's military war-games potential conflicts, even when they're far less likely to ever be used than plans for Britain ending up in conflict with the USSR after the end of WWII.

Those plans weren't even approved lol, Churchill was out of office shortly after ordering that plans be drawn up.

Weak writing aside, it's still credible since it's coming from a primary source. If his ex-wife felt abused and manipulated, who are we to question her? I would say at the very least it's something that deserves more scrutiny, since there might be a pattern there.

Just because you are an oligarch doesn't give you a pass from being a bad partner or parent, and I would defer to their lived experiences on how he measures up on those fronts. IMO, you cease being a good partner and parent when you start putting the pursuit of money and power above your family's emotional needs. Being an asshole to the people close to you is not a prerequisite for success.

Even if you don't agree with any of that, it does still serve its purpose of being a Twitter troll canary against him.
First of all, are we talking about “systematic” or “systemic” or “structural” racism. These terms are not interchangeable. Put that aside for a second…

I assume your example is talking about Prop 58. [1] Is Prop 58 racist? Of course not, the CA Constitution prohibits racist and sexist laws and the courts are very good at enforcing that prohibition.

Prop 58 means a lower property tax bill can be inherited by the children with the property. By your reasoning, isn’t allowing property inheritance at all racist?

To me this is a meaningless injection of “equity” into a discussion on equality. Racism is not a word that means “inequity” - as in - everyone not consuming, producing, contributing, and owning the exact same quanta. That of course is a bizarre fiction.

We are talking about a tax policy which generationally preserves a tax break. It had a meaningful basis in law and policy which does not discriminate based on race, but it certainly provides a significant tax benefit to generational land owners.

Now again, that’s a drop in the bucket compared to the Federal estate tax lifetime exclusion amount, which provides orders of magnitudes greater tax benefits to preserving generational wealth, so Prop 58 is just a bit player in this scheme.

If the argument is that a tax policy which is advantageous to anyone with generational wealth is “systemically racist” then I think the argument has gone off the rails.

There are important justifiable public policy goals to ensuring a certainly level of generational wealth. There is no and never will be an important justifiable public policy goal of being “racist”.

If someone wants to argue for wealth confiscation, redistribution, and equity (e.g. some form of communism) then by all means give it a shot. But I don’t abide calling people racists if they disagree with that as a policy goal. If the argument is “merely” that there should be no tax benefit which preserves generational wealth, you actually immediately end up in exactly the same place.

The answer is of course more likely along the lines of “we do both”. We have policies that provide for protecting and maintaining a certainly level of generational wealth. And we also have policies which provide a massive welfare system for people without any generational wealth.

Yes, so you kinda agree with my point.

I think my definition of feudalism is somewhat loose. But what I mean generally is that a few people become owners and the rest employees.

For example, tech companies that have controls over people's lives.
Upperclass people having maids, drivers, cooks.

Why can't people save cash?
Yes, but you might present some feature differently internally compared to your users. E.g. "Update libfoo" is a totally fine commit message, as you can just inspect the diff to see the version change, but in the changelog, I'd prefer "Update libfoo to 0.3" because dependency versions are something that's exposed to users of your component. Conversely, you might have a bunch of refactoring commits that each are important as their own unit but your changelog is maybe only interested in a summary.

Personally I don't see much value in these half-automatted changelogs over just giving git history. It also raises the bar for contributions because contributors have to figure out a non standard commit message format.

Making a Monolithic Telescope: Optical Design and Aspherics
Here’s a Quora answer from someone in the US intel community, explaining why this was not “perjury” despite being misleading to the public watching the hearing: https://www.quora.com/Why-wasnt-James-Clapper-convicted-for-...

> This claim that Clapper lied before Congress has an interesting mix of supporters—some people on the far left who view Clapper as some part of a nefarious intelligence state out to spy on all of us, and then Trump supporters who look for any way to discredit someone who’s been a critic of Trump.

> Jim Clapper has served the US with honor and distinction. The role of DNI has been much like that of the Spinal Tap drummer—no-one who has been in that role has been around much and seems to just disappear in a poof. Clapper is the exception. People who follow the IC will tell you that Clapper was outstanding.

> As for the claim that he “lied,” this requires a little explanation. In a closed session, he had briefed the Congressional committee about US monitoring of telecommunications. He was then asked in an open hearing if the US did this. This was a classified program. Anyone who says that he should have said “I’m not authorized to talk about that” is being naive—that would automatically say “we do indeed have a classified program in this area.” So Clapper did what anyone when asked a question about the existence of a specific classified program would do—gave an answer that didn’t hint that we did indeed have such a program. After the public testimony, he then contacted the committee and said what the correct answer was—and that it was classified.

> I have been asked questions before (including by co-workers in the IC) about programs they weren’t cleared for and when you’re not supposed to give hints that the program exists, you can’t say “I’m not authorized to comment on that” or “sorry but that’s classified” because those are answers, you’re saying “yes, we do have such a program.” So in those cases you maintain the security of the program and only reveal it in a setting and audience that is cleared for discussion.

> And that’s why he was never censured or reprimanded by Congress for “lying.”

"Camp bodies".

Guys who are drafted in the later rounds or undrafted free agents.

NFL rosters start at 90 during the training camp period. During the preseason (which is part of training camp), teams have to eventually cut down to the final 53 man roster and (now) 14 players will be selected to be on the practice squad after being cut.

So generally, there will be about 33 players who are not making the team in any fashion. Generally more because players will be signed and released during training camp as well. But yeah, teams sometimes just need bodies. They're not looking for the next NFL star, they're looking for someone with a certain minimum athletic ability to occupy a spot on the field. Warm bodies to fill camp slots.

They're like some of the most awkward calls. Because the teams are trying to sign a guy for a few weeks and the agent is trying to get his guy paid.
I'm a heretic who prefers information in the PR.

That's where the long-form back and forth arguments happen over the edge conditions.

Periodically a few days after a PR has been merged I'll have a discussion with someone and realize some context was never captured, so I'll just add it at the bottom of the closed+merged PR for posterity.

Yeah that means all the important information is in GH but if you migrate to GitLab or bitbucket or whatever they've got tools to pull all that info along with you when you migrate.

I don't really care about individuals commits other than to find the gitsha to find the PR that they were merged into in order to find the full context.

In this video a person designs a telescope from a single piece of glass. He begins the process of manufacturing it in his garage in the following video.
I prefer issue/card numbers as it makes it easier to visually group and search for common commits of a single task in shortlog. feat/fix/chore have no functional use in shortlog (for me!) and the mixed length moves the start of the actual comment and makes shortlog messy. That information can just as easily be put into the commit message. 2c.

This is probably more appropriate for private projects rather than public contributed projects perhaps where the benefit of conventional style is to be able to easily create changelogs of large number of commits.

[In medieval times, ballistic cheese was clearly the superior siege meal]

It took a few days to make and was very hard to get, but the results were so dramatic that it became the preferred option for sieges. Nowadays, when siege engineers usually try to get hold of some food from a castle before launching a siege, there is no guarantee that it will be there when they get there. In the age of artillery, the same cheese can be fired straight at a castle. This is the power of gunpowder, of which the main ingredient is an alkali-based oxidizer such as saltpeter. These days, even medieval cheese will not stand up to the impact of a salvo of cannon balls. We can thank the chemical engineer Robert Boyle for that.

Cheese’s explosive potential was first demonstrated in a siege against a citadel in the 16th century in a siege led by the French soldier-general, Marshal François de Vilette. During the siege, some cannonballs accidentally became lodged in a barrel of
