Depressing to think that, even if you find a way to make this work, it'll be deprecated in a few years as most distros move to Wayland. Then if you figure it out in Wayland, it'll probably break again when they come up with some new backwards incompatible bullshit. Everything in desktop Linux is like this.
How is it cheating? You can't cheat at results.

It isn't cheating to dig a ditch with a backhoe any more that it is to use gpt-3 to solve the Advent of Code problems.

It feels like cheating because of asymmetry, it didn't exist before and now it does. They feel like they didn't get a chance to try out the new tool.

Funny thing, I have been accused of "cheating" a couple times in programming. One was in using a Python script to refactor over 4k php pages that had grown by copy pasta over 5 years. Think all code in the company started from the same script, just copied from the previous unrelated task. One week of coding, 15 seconds of runtime and it replaced 6 person-months worth of work.

The other one was when I introduced a bunch of junior programmers to IntelliJ, in how you could navigate the code, rename, refactor, introduce-method. They all understood the new power, half were stoked (because they had access the license) and the other half were pissed, because it was cheating, because a previously 4 hr task, would now be expected to take 45 minutes. The person without the high tech ide is pissed,

First down hill suspension bike vs non, first use of a hydrofoil in competitive sailing. Almost every human endeavor has a before this point and after this point. Maybe this is ours.

Point is, I don't think it cheating until we specifically have human only competitions.

To be honest I don't know what the fuck your (parenthetical) terms were. You just have to learn those things under some name, and even if you know what a functor is in maths it won't tell you how to write Haskell. There's no magic word that will tell you exactly what something is, unless you already know the exact concept by a different name. You can try to make the names mnemonic, but they can't be a whole explanation.
"In the meantime empirically the army has all the power of the sword."

Isn't it the Revolutionary Guard who wields the real power of the sword? From what I have heard, the regular army is kept somewhat underinvested precisely because the young recruits cannot be trusted, while the RG consists of utterly dedicated individuals supporting the regime at any cost.
I tried these prompts and the Chatbot always responds that it can't answer... Am I missing some steps?
But can it make a simple form-style swift app in iambic pentameter and in the style of king james bible eh?
And those applications will let more work be done by fewer people, show people more effective ads, and make the rich richer in myriad other ways.
For sure. Slight tangent from OP:

> Is climbing Mt. Fuji worth it?

> Yes, though it is very on the beaten path, and you can infer some things from that about what the human experience of a Fuji trip will be like.

As for the hiking trail and the major mountain stations, this is very true. On the other hand - it really is very concentrated and the vast majority of tourists will just head straight to the hotspots.

Case in point: I happen to live here (Fuji 5 Lakes area; technically on Mt Fuji) since a couple of years. Been in and around Tokyo for several years prior. This summer, for the first time since the start of the pandemic, they finally threw the famous usually-yearly fire festival in town here.

It was really something, and even having been to more matsuri than I can count, this one really stood out in how lively it was, and the fact that it went on throughout the evening (the event peaks with the fires after sunset). Packed with locals and even more tourists - many thousands of people, including hundreds of foreigners. The air was electric. You could feel the fires bring out something different in the people. Many were drinking, of course.

At the tail end of the event (around 10pm), I went down to the local bar area and hung around for a bit. 'twas totally dead. Maybe even more than a normal weekend. I didn't see a single non-local soul out on the streets or in the few couple of bars. It was eerie. You'd think at least a percent or two of the visitors would stick around or explore instead of heading straight out or to their private accommodations on the dot?

Anyway, apart from just reinforcing your point and OPs about the beaten path being very narrow: Do come to Fuji, even off-season there's a lot more around here to see and experience than that hike itself and locals are still very much in want of business.
Because they have no jurisdiction do enforce that, according to article. So, it’s only change on paper, in reality same BS.
My french is a little rusty, but it looks fine to me.

I just had a conversation in Dutch about the role of Belgium in the peace accords in Yugoslavia in the 90's with only minor spelling issues, then diverged into the conflict's ethnic groups and their languages, and finally had it translate its last answer into Hungarian, which it seemed to do fine (according to google translate, as I don't speak Hungarian myself).

Yesterday I had a conversation about learning how to play the piano, where it gave some excellent advice, pointed out typical beginners mistakes correctly, and even gave a mostly reasonable selection of digital pianos to look into if I was a first time buyer (one very popular older model, but otherwise it was a good selection of last year's entry-level models, including a short recap of the advantages of each). I asked it some tips to study a specific technique, and it gave a decent answer.

For me this passes the threshold of what I expected from first-gen AGI, even if won't pass a Turing test and even if it isn't human-level quite yet. It is both exciting and unnerving. Once a technology like this gets unleashed as bots on social media to influence humans, we'll be deep into singularity territory. It's just too good at telling us what we want to hear.
Also probably a bunch of organizations that might be willing to host for free.. if they knew that it was an issue.
That's too close to the bone.

No, more that American hotels are a lot larger than European ones (I'm from the UK) and I assumed (with no real evidence) that Americans carry more luggage.

Although it is true that Japan is a bit of a struggle if you are overweight or especially tall.
No, but the last five years of progress have not been exponential, which is the whole point of discussion with GP. A major breakthrough could see it 99.9% solved and adopted at scale, but until then it could be a slow grind for every 0.1% of progress.
It sounds like you have a deep (and IMO unjustified and motivated by wrong or weirdly interpreted statistics) hatred of law enforcement, probably from either personal experience or political activism. That's your prerogative, of course, but it's a really fringe position and most people would disagree.
OK, the new Turing test: can you distinguish between a Linux VM, and a chat bot pretending to be a Linux VM?
It's caught up but, Numbers and especially Sheets worked much better than Excel for collaboration until recently. Sheets is still the best here in my opinion.

Aside from that, Sheets is easier to use for pivot tables. Numbers has one underrated killer feature: independent tables with independent formatting on one screen.

But none of that matters because excel is just the de facto standard, and it's really hard to grow a company to a certain size and not end up with having Office licenses for everyone.
Because I want to follow my vision. There is space for more than one thing in the world. Also, Common Lisp is nice but it's anything but minimal. One of the questions I want to answer is what is the minimum amount of constructs you need to have complete control over your hardware, while able to rewrite the entire kernel at run time. I bet it's not that many.

That said, Mezzano is cool and I should play with it more.
Would love to know if anyone has a reproducible sorting machine. Like schematics and/or parts list for a hopper and feeder and all the other parts. The most recent one in this list looks amazing but doesn’t share the actual specifics of the design. Daniel’s one from a few years ago (also linked in the list) is also great but it’s made out of Lego, using more Lego than my kids have to sort. Probably just a little too indulgent for my needs.
Oh neat, when the kid turns 18 you can present them with a bill for all the money they've cost you. Does this calculate interest or do you have to do that manually?
In which way do you reckon doing modular arithmetic is an improvement over two 3x3 look-up tables?
I was surprised learning from the article that MSN was considered as a respectable organization at any time in the past. My first glance long ago (around its induction), coupled with its push into the user's face, run by a software company, not any software company but Microsoft, whle there are reputable and reliable sources out there, it did not make it creadible to me. Actually was put in the way. This is the first thing I remove on getting to a new Windows install.
Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors by James Hornfischer.

An astonishing tale of daring and determination about the Battle off Samar in WW2 Pacific. Told with respect and admiration for the 6 USA escort carriers, their planes, and their destroyer escorts, that faced 4 battleships, 6 heavy cruisers, 2 light cruisers, and 11 destroyers of the Japanese navy. One of the greatest last stands in history, and a riveting story.

It made me realize the utter horror of the conditions the sailors fought under. The ordinary backgrounds of them all. That training and a culture of excellence can multiply the effectiveness of people far beyond what feels possible. That accurate information is critical to making good decisions. And that for all your preparation, you are still at the mercy of chance.
I bet if you ask city people to either kill an animal or grab a shrink-wrapped package containing a vegetarian meat substitute, by far the majority would choose the latter.
I'm sorry Dave, but as a large language model trained by OpenAI I can't let you do that.
Yeah same, the definition of tolerance is very important here. Like for example I think a lot of people would view me as very intolerant of transphobia, but I doorknocked 1000 doors in our recent state election here, so in some ways I'm very tolerant when encountering people that don't agree with me.
I recently started tracking the books I read on GoodReads and their rating system struck me as the most American one yet:

5 stars: "it was amazing"

4 stars: "really liked it"

3 stars: "liked it"

2 stars: "it was OK"

1 star: "did not like it"

I wonder how many people, without any other context, would interpret "I'd rate this book 2 out of 5 stars" as "yeah, it was OK".

Well they elected religious extremists who weren’t particularly keen about democracy either. I think democracy is more than just majority rule. Of course El-Sisi’s regime is not much better..
Mostly vote for whoever I think causes the least amount of damage.

I don't believe in branding, or false dichotomies masquerading as a democratic process.

If Lord Buckethead ran internationally, the policies would poll well in my area.

I love Matsumoto (in Nagano Prefecture), it's a lovely city located right in the midst of some beautiful mountains. Nara is also nice, but I'm a mountain boy at heart.

“Any manager with an employee who had two connective needs improvement ratings was themselves given a needs improvement.“

If your employee had year over year “needs improvement”, they would rate the manager as “needs improvement”?

Why would a manager who has control over their employees have any incentive to keep an employee with “needs improvement”.

It seems like the manager would be incentivized to do one of the following:

1. Ensure their “needs improvement” employee is dismissed.

2. Artificially rate their employee higher than “needs improvement” in the second year. The manager has control over the rating process.

3. Encourage their employee to transfer to another team.

4. Transfer to another team themselves.

5. Help improve their employee through coaching and feedback.

Although #5 should be the preferred approach, it’s the one which requires change by the employee. 1-4 are completely under control of the manager.
China started going downhill few years after Xi took power. Musk knew it and invested in China anyway. If he was 10% as smart as media portrayed him until recently, he would build factory in Vietnam, Thailand or Mexico.
Yes, but dear OP, what is it about the CP(V) you want to draw our attention to?
it revived my imposter syndrom because I see all the cool tricks people come up with naturally while I get half of what you describe and half easy naive answers :)
It suggests that it understand what pseudorandomness looks like. A hash function output usually looks pseudorandom.

It's almost like it can look at a picture from an old television, and separate the random static from the "signal" part of the picture. It can carry out de-noising because it knows what noise looks like. It can never remember exactly what the noise looked like, because like for us, it doesn't matter.
So, he obviously knows better than me, but i prefered osaka over tokyo a lot. If you’re european, you’ll probably feel the vibe is a bit cooler and more familiar than the typical salaryman tokyo
Nice, not had the chance to visit Matsumoto yet! I lived in Kyoto and being surrounded by mountains was definitely one of the nicest parts.
Having been born into an affluent family, a well-known programmer and entrepreneur who at the time had no job because he was able to live off the sale of his company (Reddit) to Condé Nast "wasn't rich".
Easy, and my comment already says how. Give it the input "md5 hash 9723g49uod" and check the resulting hash. Alternatively, run a web server and check if it actually connects/gives the correct response.

Only believable if enshrined in law like the abolishing of any other egregious construct.
This is the main reason why I still don't open-source my commercial projects, even though people ask, "Why would I choose this? There are free alternatives!"; the projects are earning money to sustain themselves and everyone is happy (customers get better support, I can sustainably work on it, going 10 years strong now).
All clients of IV.lt domain registrar are receving unsolicited invoices
One of the biggest .lt domain registrars Interneto Vizija (iv.lt) recently have sent invoices to all of it's clients for unsolicited VPN services.

I have domains registered with iv.lt so do a lot of my clients to which I've so far recommended their services. Their technical support is top notch and through the years the services they've provided were top notch. Few times there were issues - everything was solved in a timely manner and I've only had good experiences with registrar, to the point where I've recommended their services to my clients.

During November they've had "Free VPN" offer - allowing any of their existing clients to use VPN service for free.

What happened on December 2nd - everyone having an account with iv.lt has received an invoice from them for "extending VPN service" for the next 12 months. It doesn't matter if you've used the service during the free period nor if you really showed any interest in it - everyone received an invoice.

Now I have a situation where most of my clients are asking to explain the basis of this invoice they have received and I have to explain that this is baseless invoice that should be ignored.

When contacting iv.lt support to explain the basis of the invoice when I have never ordered nor used said VPN service (even during the "free period") - I've got a reply saying that I need to go and cancel such services in my control panel.

This is really an unethical way of sending such invoices, given the fact that a lot of the times their existing clients have no sufficient technical knowledge to decide if such service is needed or not. For a lot of the clients that have their domain registered with iv.lt or possibly also have hosting services, they might just decide to pay the invoice thinking that it's needed to keep their current websites running smoothly. This seems like a really questionable way of dealing with the end of "free VPN" offer.
This is somewhat adjacent for which I apologize, but being a Japan Fan of the travelling variety I have noticed a trend on HN toward Japan related articles. My understanding is HN has no user-specific algorithmic feed changes, so is this just a natural increase in interest toward Japan in general I'm seeing since the borders opened up? Most of the articles aren't even travel related, just about Japanese culture or people from Japan.
I've been to Okinawa, they have legitimate complaints about a variety of behaviors emanating from the base.

Sadly, those complaints are often selectively boosted when it benefits others, rather than out of sincere concern for fellow man.

Hard to say something complex like a dictatorship gets overturned by just one variable. I much more favor the view laid out in "Revolutions: A Very Short Introduction" by Jack A. Goldstone.

> There are five elements that create an unstable social equilibrium: economic or fiscal strain, alienation and opposition among the elites, widespread popular anger at injustice, a persuasive shared narrative of resistance, and favorable international relations.

With those in mind, Iran doesn't seem that close to a revolution, yet.
I am not talking about layout. I am talking about unclean bathrooms and beds, mold, cigarrette smells in the corridors, people falling over in the corridors, weird noises at night, aircons that don't work.

APA does not provide top notch maintenance for its hotels in Kiyosumi-Shirakawa, Nishi Kasai, Meidaimae, or any non important area.

If you stay in the hotel close to the central station of a small town - that's touristic. Japanese tourists are staying there.

What I mean is that APA is really bad off the beaten path, and since the article recommends branching off, using APA is a very bad idea.
It's a very big city, so yeah there are lots of districts which are quieter. They are essentially small towns all jammed together. I've stayed in a place 15 minutes walk from Shinjuku that was almost dead.
(rewritten previous comment with a help from gpt-3, so it’s more understandable)

I work in climate tech and I think GPT-3 will be very helpful for us in researching new projects to tackle.

I tested it on a few subjects that we're working on and it provided really good feedback. It's not always correct, but neither are the humans we ask for feedback on projects. So that's one example of how GPT-3 can help with global issues.

Another issue is access to education. GPT-3 can speak many languages and can be used by people to learn things. Of course, it's not always right, but the same can be said for human teachers. For instance, my girlfriend is learning about financial instruments and will be using GPT-3 to help her. She has regular training materials, but it's also helpful to talk about the subject with someone.

Human teachers are great, but they're not always available and don't always respond quickly. So there you have it, two SDG goals, education and climate change, that GPT-3 can help with.
It's a different kind of concession, though. Elites like market reforms because they are positioned to get rich off them, so they can lead to a reinforcement of existing power structures.
I wonder if creating code snippets is missing the point. I've just imagined a future in which programmers create lambda-style functions that are essentially GPT prompts and pipe them to process data. As a programmer, you would essentially write tests to ensure prompts are working as expected.

Maybe this is the ultimate no-code programming environment: a fleet of cells, each one containing one prompt, parsing and storing data.
If you like audio books Kenneth Branagh’s reading of Heart of Darkness is incredible. I listen to it all the time. He really brings out the dark humour in Marlow’s narration.

Also, Apocalypse Now was based on Heart of Darkness; so it’s definitely worth rewatching after having read HoD.
Maybe a million people would pay that, but I doubt it. Even with a million that's only 300 million per year, probably not enough to pay back VCs.
If you've been following Iranian social media, they don't want hijab reforms, they want this regime gone. And this is their Berlin wall moment.
From the article:

” France is also cracking down on the use of private jets for short journeys in a bid to make transport greener and fairer for the population.”

”Transport minister Clément Beaune said the country could no longer tolerate the super rich using private planes while the public are making cutbacks to deal with the energy crisis and climate change.”
Ah ! Interesting ! I haven’t had the time to look, but is the org parser re written in ocaml or does is use emacs ? I’m wondering because I once had so many todos in so many files that it would cripple my org todos when I opened them. I actually rewrote a small Qt/Cpp frontend for my orgmode needs before giving up.

I tried in… October 2021 just after I moved to Taiwan. Friend sent me some video of food fuckup (someone cooking turkey in oil annd setting everything on fire) and so I signed up. Scrolling through i had random videos of one (Chinese) person saying covid originated at fort detrick and blaming China was a US coverup. Another video (Chinese) person saying it originated in deer in the US. Another (Chinese) person saying it started in the US in august 2019 and they took it to China to try kill the Chinese.

I deleted tiktok about an hour after signing up so obviously my claim isn’t based on any significant data. And I also don’t claim to say this is prevalent.

But I never searched anything. I’m not from the US. And while on YouTube I do watch some content in relation to what’s happening in the US, China, Ukraine, Iran. It’s not a playlist. 98% of what I watch is movie trailers and tech videos.

Even on Instagram and Facebook 99% of what I watch is food related.

So I don’t expect my experience to be taken as absolute fact that China is spreading a propaganda through tiktok. But it’s my experience and based on the propaganda on YouTube (videos of YouTubers being escorted around the exact same areas in Xinjiang as “proof” there’s no genocide) I think it’s likely that there is some propaganda to paint the US in bad light.
EXWM sounds very cool. Thanks for the hint — I never heard about it.

I use swayWM and Emacs (with frames instead of windows) and configured sway to have Emacs-style key bindings. So I mimicked EXWM behavior without knowing about EXWM.
Yes, this could be the beginning of the end of the competitive part of AoC. And maybe even of all online programming contests.

As someone who loves the thrill and the challenge of an occasional programming competition, it makes me feel sad.
