For anyone worried about this, the longest lived unstable isotope of oxygen (that is heavier than stable oxygen) has a half life of 26 seconds. Hydrogen can become deuterium which is stable, and finally tritium which is not.

Tritium has a long half life of 12 years, but is low energy and very easily shielded (just don't eat it).

There is very very little tritium - first you'd have to make deuterium (there isn't much), and then a deuterium would have to become a tritium, i.e. a rare event on top of a rare event.

USA Today reported Near died by suicide.

Would anyone stop defending Kiwi Farms if Near's suicide was proven? Would anyone decide Kiwi Farms is not so bad if Near was proven alive? 2 other targets' suicides are undisputed as far as I know. Kiwi Farms defenders say anyone who killed themselves because of harassment would have killed themselves anyway. And they say an unenforceable rule against interacting with targets means the forum can't be blamed.

I'm not sure on the timeline - but Finland will soon be a NATO member.

I don't think Finland has anything to worry about.

Moldova, maybe. George - not being a border state with the EU - definitely.
Great. Imagine I sell a security product and I make a tidy sum telling you how secure that product is. Turns out, there's a security hole in my product that costs your company 100 million in lawsuits as customer data gets stolen via this hole. Now, you'd like to sue me on my claim on the basis that my security product was in fact, flawed.

Bullying may be topically related to physical appearance[1], but it is rooted in something other than attributes held by the victim. The root of bullying lies within the bully and the environment and systems which create bullies.

To tackle bullying, the ability for a bully to become a bully must be addressed. Anything else is accreting social debt (to draw a parallel to technical debt). If you wish to address social or technical debt, you have to actually address it, not try to patch the effects.

1. Appearance certainly among other things. Children can be bullied for race, culture, class, &c.

Texas Instruments doesn't make those IC's available because the design is custom to Apple. TI is just manufacturing them. They're Apple parts so repair centers and customers need to go through Apple to get them. There's no incentive for anyone, Apple or otherwise, to allow people to buy parts directly from their vendor.

> I can think of 2-3 instances just off the top of my head where you could (legitimately) declare bankruptcy but the school shouldn't necessarily lose $50-100k because of that.

Do you have an example? Like buying too much house and getting then getting fired from your job?

I suppose the bankruptcy judge could make a determination of the student debt was a major cause of the bankruptcy, and only clawing back the money in those cases.

> Especially if nothing else about the current climate changes, all that will do is cause costs to rise even faster as the school just increases tuition to compensate.

But wouldn't that quickly spiral out of control for the school? If they just increase tuition, then they'd get more money clawed back down the road (assuming it's an ongoing policy, not a one-time program). I'm thinking they'd mainly have to cut costs, dip into endowments, or do some fundraising to fill the gap.

As someone who's used the models a fair bit (I work at OpenAI), I mentally sort applications into four buckets:

- Generative use cases, where you give the model the kernel of an idea and then you curate its output (e.g., blog writing, code completion, etc.)

- Extractive use cases, where you give the model some big piece of text, and then process it in some way (e.g., extract names and addresses, classify it, ask a question about the text)

- Transformational use cases, where you need to fix/adjust a piece of text, or translate from one domain to another (e.g., sometimes I'll use GPT-3 for little tasks like copying and pasting a table from a presentation and then asking the model to translate it to markdown; saves me a visit to Google and finding some table generator website)

- Comparisons, where you use embeddings to do search/clustering/recommendations over any set of strings (e.g., can combo nicely with the Q&A use case above, where you search over a knowledge base)

I started a repo here with some barebones examples of each: https://github.com/openai/openai-cookbook/

If you're looking for examples of commercial applications, OpenAI published two blog posts highlighting a few:

This article makes no sense.

For some reason this has been some kind of meme going around in the last 2 to 4 weeks, that Netflix shows all look the same because of a limited camera list. And somehow it's turned into a full article now.

But it makes no sense because different shows on Netflix are all made by different studios with totally different senses of taste, Netflix doesn't impose any aesthetic, and modern digital cameras don't generate an aesthetic at all. They mostly simply impose limitations around resolution and noise that limit or expand what you can do with dark shots. Everything around aesthetic is cinematography and color grading which has essentially zero to do with your camera.

At most, we can say that Netflix chooses to buy a lot of middlebrow drama shows, and middlebrow drama shows today share a similar aesthetic, in the same way that soap operas from the 80's share a similar aesthetic, or gritty HBO crime miniseries share a similar aesthetic, or network cop shows share a similar aesthetic. Directors and cinematographers figure out what works most effectively for a genre and copy what works.

None of that has anything to do with Netflix imposing anything or any list of approved cameras, or minimum resolution or HDR or anything else technical.
At least to my eyes there is a huge difference visually between Ted Lasso and Slow Horses.
Yeah, a bit, but it sort of depends? I have some parts that have lasted quite a while. The CPU in my current build is ~2012 and is fine; even stats wise its respectable, as a lot of the improvements of recent years have been rolled back by Spectre et al.

But manufacture warranties are crap these days. Used to be a machine was warranted for 4 years, and a good one would last 10. But these days it seems like they're 1-2 years. Part warranties aren't great, but the stuff I've built seems to hold up.

The 10 year old machine above current has a failure. I think it is the PSU, but I'm not sure. But in the 10 years it ran, the only failure it had was a HDD died like 4-5 years in. And that drive was a used datacenter drive, that when sold to me had a "it's been abused in a datacenter, 30 day warranty" on it, so it did fantastic. And I think its replacement is also now out of warranty, too, though I'd like to see it last a few more years, ofc.

The repair program is operated through a third party; products in active production with available OEM repair parts is possibly the criteria, and they may be rolling this out on a product-by-product basis in terms of producing comprehensive end-user DIY instructions and processes.

A M2 Mac isn't out of warranty yet, making self-repair more costly for all but a few non-covered instances (e.g. liquid damage, screen drop). For this reason, I would expect newer Intel Macs to be supported before the M2.
I'd like to add that many studies suggest that the fastest way to increase your income in IT is to job-hopping. E.g., my son has made 3 moves in 3 years from high-end help desk to deveops engineer, at triple his first salary. He has also very deliberately chosen jobs that would provide him with growth opportunities, because he didn't want to be siloed in any one role. None of them were with FANGs, but given all the layoffs in the news, being at a monster company does not guarantee you a job.
It's very hard, for that very reason that more of an organization will depend on it over time, making it harder to extricate from it. But there's a number of things that help.

0. Ownership. Try to manipulate the business to put this project under a part of the org where it's very hard for anyone to have leverage over you, so you can fight back when they try to pressure you to keep it going with no budget or staff. (Can you put it under "finance" or "admin" or "HR"? They won't give a shit about your project and aren't responsible to the tech leadership. Sometimes "IT" is the same.)

1. Money. Assign a fixed budget that runs out after X time. Put yourself in a position that you have no way to ask for more money, so they can't keep trying to stretch your team out with no additional funding. Calculate how much it'll cost the business to try to support it past EOL and put that figure where everyone can see it.

2. Limits. Design in very specific quotas and limits that give very reliable but limited functionality. If somebody wants this to scale 100x, show them how it literally can't. Prevent stakeholders from trying to do more than is possible. If they want fewer limits, tell them to give you money out of their budget to build and staff a single-tenant version of it. They will quickly go away, probably to (poorly) build their own version of it.

3. Disclosure. Tell all stakeholders what this thing can and can't do, that you won't be able to scale, what your SLA is, when this thing will be EOL and that they need to put on their calendars now to work to move off of it in time. Do not tell them the actual EOL date, tell them a date 6 months before the actual cut-off date. Communicate often and via various means in public places, because most people will never read anything they aren't interested in.

4. Stakeholder management. Tightly control who is using your system and what they're using it for. Document the downstream business risk. Make a big stink if somebody starts using your dinky little project with no funding for something mission critical. Remind them of how your limits and budget and SLA and design are all tied together and can't be worked around without redesigning the whole thing.

5. Transition planning. When your system goes away, something needs to take its place. At design phase, incorporate a timeline that includes a large chunk of time just for supporting getting people off the platform. Also plan for how you could offload the entire system onto some other system. Create a document that lists what a new system will need to have, so whoever is tasked with that will not build something that is impossible to transition to. At sunset time, redirect work towards the transition. Have a solid change management plan and get stakeholder sign-off.

6. Rigorously track the value created by this thing, or the value lost by trying to maintain it past its sunset date, and all business risks. Collect hard data. You will need it later to argue to senior leadership why keeping this thing online is a terrible idea.

Is there a contact point you'd prefer me to use for reaching out? I'm pretty sure I'm using WOF for bringing up Pelias but it's entirely possible I'm configuring things wrong. I'm also having a lot of trouble getting good performance out of the viewport biasing on the autocomplete endpoint (`focus.point`). Photon has `location_bias_scale` which allowed me to do very strong viewport biasing for zoomed-in queries and eliminate it almost entirely when zoomed out.

Is this something that could be added? I don't mind doing a bit of legwork if need be. This is important enough that I'm willing to throw a few weeks at implementing it.

To nitpick a bit I was more so criticizing what I envision Google's support for repairing these devices to be. More from an infrastructure/customer support perspective. I did mention that these devices were inexpensive and I would guess that for most people they'd prefer to throw the device away instead of repair it given our current cultural climate.

Now I do not have a lot of experience fixing devices, I tend to use and then either gift old devices to family members or recycle them, but I am curious about how much more repairable one of these devices is compared to, say, a new Macbook Pro. Also I wonder if current state is indicative of future state. For all we know Apple might make repair and upgrade of devices a top priority. Certainly they're showing some serious movement here in my opinion.
If you're willing to sacrifice some quality, it seems feasible to just download and store it locally. At 500 kbit/s for mediocre standard definition, it works out to about 200 MB per hour of video. At that rate a 4 terabyte drive would store ~20,000 hours or ~3 continuous years worth of video, which is probably several decades worth of typical YouTube viewing, assuming you watch the whole clip.
Speaking from experience, OBD will not necessarily help you here. Something has to put the TPMS data out on the CAN bus. The rudimentary system in my old Corolla does not do this, so the only way to debug a malfunctioning TPMS system is via sdr (or an expensive tool, or a trip to the tire store).

The CEO explained why he thinks it's a good long term plan... but for now, they get money i.e. are actually incentivized by slow code. The CEO's incentives are theoretical ones.

And the market, which ultimately control whether the CEO gets to continue that plan or not, did not seem to agree it was a good plan.
I notice that as well. Being from Canada originally, I also immediately spot the Canadian accents, even if they are trying to suppress them or do a generic American accent.

I was re-watching the first season of The X-Files and every episode I was trying to pick out where in the Vancouver the scene was shot. I was laughing when I immediately noticed they were in White Rock, BC, which was supposed to be a small town in Connecticut.

All this is more passable to me, though, than the general trend of having characters so well put together in movies. Their hair, makeup and costume is so clearly done by experts, and they are all attractive. I wish characters looked more like regular people in movies and less like models.
Poland is not in the Eurozone, and as I said in the sibling comment, neither is Romania or Bulgaria. Eurozone is mostly wealthy countries, so the parent commenter's argument doesn't work here.

The problem is the word "cheaper".

For the opposite word, "expensive", it all depends on the word before it: "as expensive" or "more expensive".

"100 widgets cost $100. Unit price is $1."
They are now twice _as_ expensive -> they now cost $200. Unit price is now $2.

"100 widgets cost $100. Unit price is $1."
They are now two times _more_ expensive -> they now cost $300. Unit price is now $3.

But How do you do this with the word "cheap"? Does "cheaper" clearly mean "3x as cheap" or "3x more cheap" (which even sounds a bit wrong)? I guess it means "more cheap" means "cheaper".

Better to avoid the problem and say "They are now two times the cost, or half the cost". Which is much clearer.

Yes. I would appreciate such a feature, too. For Ingresses, it doesn't matter (as the controller is smart & picks it up automatically) but we have a database whose cert requires a rolling restart, and yeah, it'd be good to have a way to trigger that.

(We get around this, normally, by having regular reboots of the nodes for system updates. So no pod lives long enough for a replacement cert to not get picked up in time, usually. In the off case reboots don't happen, we have alerting.)

By that logic, Apple also has no reason to offer Self Service Repair for their Macbooks.

Isn't a repeating calendar event with an alert a better tool for this? But then you have to remember to check your calendar or to do the thing that alert you just snoozed/ignored was reminding you to do. Don't forget to check your todo list from time to time...

I have the same problem as you, of remembering things I need to do. But I've not found todo lists to actually help, in fact I find if I take too much time to maintain the list, I have less time to spend doing the things I'm supposed to do.

Kind of like remembering phone numbers. I don't know anyone's phone number anymore, because I don't have to, because I have a place that I can store them all. The difference is that the phone dials it for me when I tap it; my todo list doesn't carry out the tasks I write on it, but it does help me to forget them faster!
