Inputting language models with very specific kind of questions will result in text that is similar to what a person may write. But as the comment above, by an expert no less, mentioned is that if you test it with any known limitation of the technology (like making conclusions or just changing the form of the question enough) you will immediately see that is in fact very much not even remotely close to sentient.
Cost is not really a valid reason not to pursue renewable. We need to switch to renewables no matter the cost, so as many people can survive as possible, and limit mass extinctions
This is not a preprocessor directive though, from reading the post I don’t think cpp is expanding the #embed into an array initializer, otherwise there’s no performance benefit at all.

> I'm very curious to hear about the docker image that you are using. What purpose does the docker image serve in the build pipeline? I know that for compiled software, sometimes having a build environment allows you to better define the environment variables, but to my understanding this is not a worry for LaTeX.

Using Docker brings several benefits. I allows me to share the same build environment for multiple different machines.
I can even use my desktop remotely for building the documents if I want, just by sharing Docker Daemon.

Sometimes some package breaks after an update, and Docker allows me to roll back to working environment.
I also can declare additional packages and fonts deterministically if I need them. Overall, LaTeX is quite complicated and huge system, and I rather keep it away from my host machine. Maybe Docker is a bit overkill, but I have never wasted time on fighting with package conflicts or installing Latex once again with extra packages for different machine.
I agree with your overall point.

I think the outlier might be Rust. Somehow it's managing to gain traction despite the headwinds you mention.

Glass to glass heat conduction is faster than water to glass. any difference in how fast the jar is heating will produce uneven stresses and possibly crack the glass where those meet. That's my theory.

Ive had jars fail because they were touching each other on the sides; but that i put down to mechanical battering.

There's also the fact that Ball jars have gotten thinner in the past few decades; after they became almost the entire food packaging industry.

Now take this, and multiply it for Zuckerberg’s idea of a multiverse.
That’s a very naive argument. If your friends and family are on Facebook, your work contacts across the country are on Twitter, the only forums left alive on the web are on Reddit, how can you not need them?

These things have replaced existing connections you used to have via other channels. You can not step away without severing them now, it is no longer a matter of personal choice.
Turning the knob one way explicitly might raise some anti-trust concerns, however the same motivation can be used to avoid turning the knob the other way and this can be done much more sneakily without leaving clear evidence - simply don't allocate budget/etc to projects that would turn the knob the other way and you're done.
Consider it as a lesson not to make yourself too dependent on the whims of big tech companies. Ideally, learn to set up your own infrastructure.

Fungus and mold will likely appear if you brew anything with water at room temperature.

Use the fridge - trust my experience. It may take a bit longer to brew at colder temperatures, due to decreased convection of the liquid, but it will taste much better, as it prevents bacterial and fungal growth.

What's the typical hour estimate range for building an MVP crud app? Professionally I have been working on developing custom functionality for WP sites and these projects rarely exceed 100h. I have been thinking about switching to web app development as I enjoy modern web technologies much more (especially TypeScript), can't work with PHP much longer. (I have not built a web app yet, but I have been working on an Electron desktop app for myself, which is a little more than a CRUD app and after 2,000h spent I estimate the total effort will take about 4,000 - 5,000h by the way). My guess would be 200h for something ultra simple and something around 500 - 1000 h for an average app with multi-user support?

34,000 square kilometers [1] have already been disturbed for surface coal mining.

Two points about that:

- existing energy sources already do a huge amount of damage to land (and in places like West Virginia, particularly environmentally sensitive land)

- that's land that can already be converted to solar without significant harm being done (the harm has already been done)

Giant Lovell radio telescope at Jodrell Bank to become space light show
Spent my teens and twenties in mathematics departments. This is a very polarized behavioral pattern:

1. The majority of people just don't care very much. Just get LaTeX working locally, get it to run the packages you need - amsmath, etc. - and start working on your mathematics.

2. There is a large minority who dive deep into the rabbithole on their editing environment, typography, diagramming, etc.

Amusingly, you can tell how likely someone is to fall into either camp based on the amount of care they take with and over their notes (mostly hand-written in my day).

Show HN: My Weight over 18 Months
I work in IT and made some adjustments to my lifestyle. Here is my weight every Saturday over 18 months. I am surprised at the amount I still consume. Maybe more what, than how much. Main thing I have learned is that diet is about what you eat over a month, not a day. The massive slice of Snickers Cheesecake with ice-cream I had after last night won't impact my weight unless I do it regularly.

FYI, your setup is great if you don’t trust your ISP but it doesn’t provide any privacy.

Public VPNs act as a mixer and hide your tracks. IP correlation is very easy nowadays, so persistent single connection to your own VPN won’t protect you from certain entities that correlate your traffic.

DoH is better than DNS but it doesn’t provide privacy. You should switch to DNSCrypt.

It's the year 2032, and Wings, Jack Dorsey's self-driving taxi service, is a hit. Because Wings doesn't have to pay human drivers, most of their rides are free. The company makes money by showing ads during rides and selling data about users's movement habits. Wings is not profitable yet, but revenue is through the roof, and the company is expected to IPO for a zillion dollars.

Unfortunately, Wings's self-driving AI is much likely to destroy property than a human driver. As a result, some members of the public have called for every Wings car to be remotely controlled by a human. However, others push back. Employing good human drivers would be nearly impossible at the scale of Wings. Here is an interview with a poor grandmother who relies on Wings to see her family, and here's how a nonprofit uses Wings to find homes for lost puppies. You don't really don't want to go back to paid Uber and Lyft rides, do you?

There are a couple of problems with this analogy. But the core point is this—if a company can't sustain a key aspect of their business at scale, then perhaps they shouldn't be able to scale.
The first "So" at the beginning of that sentence is a typo. It indeed doesn't follow.

You can quickly spot what makes sentience subjective when you follow the explanations. They're all either utter gibberish once unpacked, lead to the conclusion that my computer is sentient (fine by me, but I don't think that's what we wanted?), are rooted in other terms with subjective meaning, or they are circular. Let's look at that third kind, which Wikipedia illustrates well:

> Sentience: Sentience is the capacity to experience feelings and sensations [...]

> Experience: Experience refers to conscious events in general [...]

> Conscious: Consciousness, at its simplest, is sentience [...]

Back at where we started.

To break this circle one needs to substitute one of the terms with how they intrinsically and subjectively understand it. Therefore the meaning of sentience is subjective. I realize you can expand this to mean that then everything is subjective, but to me that is a sliding scale.

The challenge I posed could be rephrased to come up with a definition that is concise and not circular. It would have to be rooted only in objectively definable terms.
Well with animals we obviously dominate them.

The potential issues with dealing with GAI is that we haven't ever had to deal with intelligences and potential that far exceeds us.

If you go looking for elixir stuff it’s there, and it seems like its usage in industry is expanding at a steady pace. IMO this is because it’s a reasonably approachable language designed to solve a common difficult problem (high concurrency, fault tolerance at scale)

I think the point with LaTeX is that you can automate the document generation process to a great extent. For example, if you have some data, some python scripts that process the data, and some other scripts that generate figures, you can put all of that in a pipeline and build a new version of your document automatically after the data changes.
I guess it fills a niche that companies really need filled
Definitely not. You have to explicitly select a directory from a native file system UI then confirm both read and write access for each directory, across each domain, typically each session. And system directories are blocked outright with no way to override.

This attitude is why people dismiss Firefox: “well if FF doesn’t implement it, it must be bad. Other browsers surely have glaring security holes”

Gun ownership can be done well, with most people being minimally restricted. I really don't see why psycho-tests and some minimal level of gun manipulation skills shouldn't be a prerequisite. I mean do you want to live around a person who can't pass that but bought yesterday AR-15 with ten 40-round magazines and 2000 bullets?

But gun owners in US have this knee-jerk end-of-the-world reaction at any attempt to change anything, regardless of all the school shootings and overall ridiculously high murder rate. Tunnel vision that guns are the most important thing in the world and who doesn't restrict them is the best politician.

I lean in my opinions more towards right but due to this I would never ever be republican if I were in the US. Voting for the same people as vast amounts of bible belt gun nuts whose wet dreams are mostly about their property being invaded by some thugs (or anybody really) so they can finally defend themselves with one of the 50 guns they have mostly for this purpose, and the spend significant amount of time and money on preparing exactly for this scenario... that would be insulting.
Similarly I've been getting smashed with gmail spam, google calendar spam and google drive spam for around 6 months now after never previously getting any and despite reporting most of it.
> If you have a ton of figures and not a ton of equations it’s not the best choice to use latex.

Last time I used Word for anything significant (a thesis) it was either word 2003 or 2007, and adding a table or inserting a new paragraph somewhere before a figure could mess up all the figure placement (sometimes the thing would literally disappear).

After that I switched to LaTeX and never looked back.
Has this recently become better, or was I just unlucky/unexperienced?
The real world is also a cesspool filled with crazy people and people trying to abuse the system (something analogous to bots). Also spammers and harassers.

“These things have replaced existing connections”

I hear this now and then and it puzzles me. All my personal online and business communication is through email, with some friends and groups on WhatsApp and Telegram. People sometimes talk to me on Twitter but, if I want to talk to them, I steer them to email. I seems really risky, as we see in so many incidents reported here, to actually rely on platforms like Twitter for maintaining connections.
Yeah, something like that happens to me a few times per year. Makes me wonder if I'm being pwned, but only after my pavlov response fills in my creds.
