Datasystems or services like DynamoDB on AWS, which are not compatible or available on other platforms.

Things like Security Groups can be another one, they don’t necessarily translate directly to what you’ll find on other platforms.

You don’t mention what clouds you’re evaluating, but avoiding services that aren’t available elsewhere or at least don’t have wire compatibility with those available elsewhere would be my recommendation.

ex. AWS Kafka over SQS or Kinesis.

this is a ridiculous question

I think it's a perfectly reasonable response to your assertion that "movies lie to you on purpose to manipulate your emotions" in order to defend the GP comment.

If that's a ridiculous question, it's only because your assertion was equally ridiculous given the context of the thread.
Curious of GPT3's response to the opposite side of that question:

You could make that argument.

A long time ago I was in a relationship where my SO took my car and refused to give it back. I called the police to report it stolen and they said that since I had lent the car to her in the past, this was a case of someone not abiding by an agreement, and it was a civil matter and I would need to retrieve the car or a PI would. This was California, so other states probably have different laws, but I would have to think for a major corporation this should be in civil court first.
There are, in fact, no such inscriptions in any of the Giza pyramids, and no remnant of funerary apparatus was found in any of them, never mind a mummy. (Other looted Egyptian crypts were found full of trash; looters don't clean up after themselves.) The only writing found inside was not funerary.

There are funerary temples lousy with inscriptions outside, but anybody can build those anytime. Crypts elsewhere are scribbled throughout.

We still know very little about the pyramids, so cannot contradict speculation. The official story / timeline is just one such.
I couldn't find an off the shelf Flipper module, but the Lego Powered Up BLE protocol is fully documented by Lego:

https://lego.github.io/lego-ble-wireless-protocol-docs/

So it shouldn't be too hard to add one.

Keep in mind that as noted in this article, the default Powered Up Hub behavior is as a "passthrough pipe" to the host device, so just using a Flipper might be a bit obnoxious.

It definitely sounds like something that could be right. I could also imagine that companies started doing this in a philanthropic way and then later realized there was a useful signal in their data (i.e. my initial cynical "yeah, that makes sense" reaction is more to do with my outlook than their motivations).
Oh man, it's even got the "Grouch" extension for the Trash Can. Can't install it on Chrome/Mac, though, as it can't be read.

Every business is insured against claims of negligence. It is totally standard and I imagine universal that large businesses are so covered.
From the NYT article:

"But Apple temporarily paused that after a shooting left five people dead at an L.G.B.T.Q. nightclub in Colorado Springs on Nov. 19, two people said. Major brands tend to dial back advertising when there are shootings or disasters so their promotions do not appear next to news or tweets about the tragedies."

If you believe their sources, and others in the ad industry it seems not unique at all for a major brand to pause advertising during traumatic events.

Heck even my small town clients go quiet on social media for a while because "promoting" during a crisis can be seen as bad taste/offensive.

> It's also very difficult to store because while an individual weapon may not be a critical mass, if you have tens or hundreds of weapons you have to worry about them getting close enough to worry about accidentally assembling a critical mass just from proximity, which, would of course, be bad.

Plutonium is an alpha emitter, and I believe the pits are plutonium alloyed with gallium and plated with gold to manage that and reduce chemical interactions with their immediate environment - there’s no “critical mass” storage problem, I think.

Just to be clear, corporations and executives do not get qualified immunity. They just get to pay with someone else's money (insurance, or shareholders) instead of their own.

I don't know why judges don't insist on jail time for someone in these situations. It might not make sense for a mistake that happened once, but after they knew it was happening and didn't fix their systems, the behavior was knowingly reckless.
Look, you are missing the big picture here.

Imagine a remote controlled truck and then, later, a fully autonomous truck.

This is what Tesla is aiming for here, they just have to begin somewhere.

This Semi is not a truck, is a data collection tool.

For some customers in some settings this already make sense as it is, but the goal is hit the road and start collecting data as soon as possible.

If that in mind, now imagine a fleet of 20 trucks being remotely monitored by a single driver. Does that make sense for you in terms of logistics and economics?
I agree with the general optimism in your take, however, I am unsure whether people without any training in ex-novo production (ie, writing from scratch) will be able to operate competently, at least in the realm of code.

I am blown away by Copilot's capabilities (haven't tried ChatGPT yet, it's down right now), but I can only operate it because I have written tons of code beforehand. I am getting the best results from it by writing prompts in a language that sometimes includes domain-specific language ("accounts", etc.) but still heavily leans on programming constructs ("write a map with a tuple of integers as a key, and a string as a value")

Maybe there's a way of learning how to code without ever writing a genuine line by yourself. You learn some rudiments, read the language docs, start writing prompts and create a testing loop based on expected outputs. Maybe. But it's uncharted territory.

Same question goes for good ole writing - can you produce new Hemingways with the process you describe? I know there is a certain vision where the AI will be the new Hemingway but you are talking about a shorter term (~10 years) where it's unlikely will be the case... Will kids be able to properly write if they only train to be editors?

As an addendum, I was at GitHub conf and saw Prof. Malan of Harvard CS50 fame claiming that at present his course will
not allow the use of tools like Copilot. I have taken the course and they have plagiarism control systems but I don't know how they are going to control this potential explosion.

A Dutch pension fund will have all its liabilities (future payments to pensioners) in Euros, but they typically invest a lot of the current pension contributions in USD stocks and bonds. This exposes them to exchange rate risk (uncertainty about the USD-EUR rate in the future, when they need to pay pensioners in Euros but their investments are in US dollars), on top of the normal investment risk of USD stocks and bonds. By simultaneously entering a EUR-USD swap (where they agree now with the counterparty at what rate they'll exchange USD back to EUR in the future), they can hedge the exchange rate part of the risk.

This is at least how FX swaps are supposed to be used: to reduce exchange rate risk. It could also be used for pure speculation by entering the swap in opposite direction (so the USD profits or losses get amplified in Euro terms). We don't know which. It might be in the 90-page BIS report, but (without reading) I'm guessing that the BIS researchers didn't manage to find out either.

Well it's a lot more like a 19% reduction in head injuries for a 4% reduction in cycling, but yes, I'm quite confident that the various governments that have enacted such laws and the constituencies they represent generally would agree that it's better to not bike at all than to risk serious head injury.
Having worked at AWS and then a litany of other companies in Seattle that are mostly using AWS or Google cloud, here's my perspective on some lock-in that you might not have actively on your mind:

* Larger companies generally have contracts with cloud providers to pay lower rates. Sometimes these contracts include obligations to use a technology for a certain period of time to get the reduced rate.
* Any technology that isn't completely lift-and-shift from one cloud provider to another. It used to be that a JAR deployed to a 'real' host (say EC2) that accesses config through environment variables and communicates through HTTP was the gold standard here. Now docker broadens the possibilities a bit
* All the cloud providers have annoyingly different queueing/streaming primitives (SQS, kinesis, kafka wrappers...). So if you are using those you might find it annoying to switch
* Even for tried-and-true technologies like compute, MySql, K/V stores, cloud providers offer lots of "Embrace and Extend" features.
* If you are wise then you will have back-ups of your data in cold storage. Getting these out can be expensive. Generally getting your data out of the cloud and into another cloud is expensive, depending on your scale.

IMO the only way to truly avoid lock-in is to use bog-standard boring technologies deployed to compute instances, with very few interaction patterns other than TCP/HTTP communication, file storage, and DB access. For all but the largest companies and perverse scaling patterns, this will get you where you are going, and is probably cheaper than using all the fancy bells and whistles offered by which ever cloud provider you are using.
Me too. I think it's because Macs were around when I was a child, and they seemed to represent all the possibility of the future. At the turn of the 90s I connected to bulletin boards before I'd heard of the internet, and it seemed like whatever sci-fi future was ahead of me, these machines were pointing the way.
"A rental car company" didn't do anything. Humans working at a rental car company did.

I"'m really shocked it doesn't mention CANDU's plutonium destruction.

https://publications.gc.ca/Collection-R/LoPBdP/BP/bp461-e.ht...

"The Canadian CANDU reactors appear to be well suited to MOX fuel; they would not require physical modification and MOX fuel could be burned within existing operating and licensing envelopes. Furthermore, it is anticipated that existing safety standards governing the exposure of workers to radiation could be met or exceeded. The most significant change would be the implementation of enhanced security for the storage of new fuel prior to loading it in the reactors."

In spite of all that, more than 98% of the demonetized bills made it back to the banks.
There are two ways this could happen, either of them have the same effect for the company handling the donation.

First, McDonald's takes the money and sets it aside, using their POS systems to segregate these funds from their traditional revenue. At the end of whatever time frame, they send the accumulated funds to the non-profit. The consumer can use these donations as a write-off by simply keeping their itemized receipt and showing the round-up.

Second, McDonald's could collect the funds as revenue, then make the donation as themselves. This is most likely not legal, since the consumer can also count the revenue as charitable donations, so it wouldn't make sense to have the same funds sent for the same purpose but tallied as a donation from two entities. However, this money would be revenue, then a donation, so it would have an impact against their legitimate taxable revenue/profits.

For example, let's say McDonald's earns $1b in revenue, including the consumers' donations of $10m and amount to a total profit of $100m.

Their profits without the donations is $90m. By donating the $10m from their $100m in profits, their lowering their taxable profits to $90m, making for the same tax obligation as if they didn't take the money in as income.

The only place for nefarious activity in all this would be the potential for earning interest from the donations in the time between receiving the funds and forwarding them to the charity. Curious how they would be able to justify those earnings, if they did something like that.

This is a great question.

One thing about GPT is that it only knows what we know at the moment. That indicates to me that it won’t be great for learning new technologies until humans generate content it can regurgitate. That alone might give juniors an edge against it (assuming they are gradually replaced by a robot pooping out dumb logic) - they might be able to specialize in learning what models don’t yet know, or what they can’t be good at.

Just guessing here. I’d love to hear a rebuttal to get a sense of where people think things are going.

Though I don’t think GPT is “there” yet, I can see it getting there by 2030. I think it’s seriously worth considering: how will people learn to program in 10 years, how will they remain relevant through periods of their career where an AI can generate better solutions than they can, and how will more experienced engineers adapt to those changes?
If the numbers work, they'll do it. It's not like they're going to get 95% of the way through the design process and then give up because power delivery costs a little more.

If the ROI is there, they'll do it. If it's not, they won't.
In my experience in software it's common for similar words to be used for different concepts in different contexts.

Right, but when it happens it's usually because these words get used differently in different domains.

What's happening here is that they're carelessly (in my view) mangling a well-established concept in a field (speaking of the SQL and database world) where folks are (notoriously) careful about word choice and about what things actually, in fact, mean.

It just feels weird, and on a certain gut level - koolaid-y.
It's not that simple. One can argue that the original contract is tantamount to a slave contract, thereby null and void at the outset. Now, some people argue that slave contracts are legitimate, and some argue that they aren't. But it's not the trivial matter you think it is.

So 'superstonk' was created after all that. It was basically the crazies from WSB after the WSB mods wanted to tone down the conspiracy theories.

Prior to the GME squeeze, the talk on WallStreeBets was basically "GME is sound fundamentally, its got +revenue AND its shorted to hell, conditions are right for upward movement".

It wasn't about sticking it to anyone, screwing hedge funds, etc, it was like "we think short sellers are perhaps screwing up here, we suggest you buy some GME".

There's a difference between creating a derivative work and simply being influenced by another artist.

Yes, everyone is influenced to some extent by what they experience, but that doesn't mean that every work you produces is derivative in the legal sense.

Under US law, to be derivative a work has to be "based upon one or more preexisting works, such as a translation, musical arrangement, dramatization, fictionalization, motion picture version, sound recording, art reproduction, abridgment, condensation, or any other form in which a work may be recast, transformed, or adapted. A work consisting of editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications which, as a whole, represent an original work of authorship, is a "derivative work"."[1]

If it's not "based on an existing work", it's not considered derivative under the law.

An interesting relatively recent case in point[2] was the famous Obama "HOPE" poster created by Shepard Fairey[3] (of "OBEY" poster fame).

The Obama "HOPE" poster was clearly based on an existing photograph of Obama (thus the lawsuit). But was it "derivative" in a legal sense? That's what the lawsuit was about, and they wound up settling.

If the Obama "HOPE" poster was not based on any existing work, there'd be grounds to claim it was derivative, despite Fairey having all sorts of influences (like everyone else).

In the case of botulism toxin, it's actually the opposite. The spores are extremely resistant to temperature, but the toxin can be destroyed by boiling at normal temp/pressure until all parts have been fully exposed to those temps. Other toxins are still an issue though, and many are heat resistant, so not a good idea to eat potentially contaminated foods.

> my CPU (which is supported) isn't supported

Could it be that TPM is disabled in the bios? Could just be that the machine has all the supported hardware, just that the hardware is inaccessable in software.

There are ways to bypass the TPM and Secureboot checks and install 11 even on unsupported CPUs / lack of TPMs (Saying its an i7 so it should be supported doesn't help because the first i7 was release in 2008 iirc) by using things like https://github.com/AveYo/MediaCreationTool.bat to skip windows 11 upgrade checks. You just don't get support for the features requiring TPM/secure boot and no guarantees that things won't break in the future.
If it was never used it is worth a fortune.
