They indeed feel magical after getting used to non-ink displays.

When I got my first e-ink reader and opened the box I saw that beautiful black and white artwork on screen. My first assumption was it was a plastic film with the artwork on it to protect the screen and I was supposed to remove it

But nope, the art was actually being displayed on the screen. Since the display consumes no power even while it is "on", they were shipping with that art on the display

My brain was just not able to comprehend a display can show a picture like that without emitting any lights
create a hard logical problem

Here is a hard logical problem for you:

A king has 100 bottles of wine, but only one of them is poisoned. Unfortunately, the poison is lethal and the king only has one day to live. He has 10 rats that he can use to test the bottles, but they can only be used once and they will die within 24 hours. How can the king determine which bottle is poisoned within 24 hours using only the rats?

Solution:

The king can use the following strategy to determine which bottle is poisoned within 24 hours using only the rats:

The king divides the 100 bottles into 10 groups of 10 bottles each.
He feeds one rat from each group a different bottle from its group.
After 24 hours, he checks which rat has died. The group of bottles that the dead rat was fed from contains the poisoned bottle.
The king then divides the remaining bottles in that group into 10 smaller groups of one bottle each.
He feeds one rat from each group a different bottle from its group.
After 24 hours, he checks which rat has died. The bottle that the dead rat was fed from is the poisoned bottle.
This strategy allows the king to determine which bottle is poisoned within 24 hours using only the rats.
That's a very verbose way of saying TF-IDF + SVM.
Of course bad people or orgs don’t self identify as such. That makes no logical sense in the real world. And in other cases people do things for political reasons.

After reading about this I decided to try my hand at using ChatGPT. I decided okay, let's see if it can recreate some code that took me a few hours at work to figure out. I asked it very precisely what I needed and my mind was blown as it produced code that looked similar to what I had coded at work. And, I was like, well that's that then, we're all out of a job. But, then I tried to run the code, and it didn't work. I looked more closely and the code had a lot of flaws. Even after manually fixing those, it still didn't work. And, then using my knowledge of how to actually solve the problem I rewrote the code 40% and made it perform the action needed.

I think all ChatGPT is doing is grabbing a lot of different answers off the interwebz and squishing them together and hoping it answers your question. But, in a lot of cases it only kind of looks like what you want. If you look at images generated by AI, it is the same issue, they sort of look like what you want but there are flaws, like faces that don't look quite human, fingers that are just squishy appendages barely resembling actual fingers, etc. I mean, the tech is getting better, it's impressive, and uncanny.

But, I think we're pretty far from having these things write themselves, they need quite a lot of human intervention to be useful. Still, very impressive and something that could potentially get you closer to an answer. But, no more than spending a little time googling or learning the skill yourself. And, if you learn the skill you're better off, because then you can do it right yourself IMHO.

Also, anytime someone gets a fully working program generated out of this thing the saying, "A broken clock is right twice a day." comes to mind.
The trends affecting the next 10 years are reversing, not boosting this though...
Can I ask what prompted this? I've tried to change my life to fit this in the past few years, since reading Carl Honore's In Praise of Slow (released in 2005! I can only imagine what he thinks now), even down to shifting away from speeding on the highway and just going the speed limit. I've found that one simple act gave me a better mindset, same with trying to do other things slowly as well (including just meandering the city I now live in).
> It turns the coder into a curator, editor, and code reviewer.

Cool?

Doesn't sound half bad to me. I've enjoyed learning to code more than actual coding. I'd be happy in a paradigm where only code to learn, to practice, to express ourselves and leave the boring bits to the machines.
So basically the dull drone work remains but the actually rewarding things are being automated.
>"Paradox" of tolerance is a narrow notion. Being intolerant of people who are intolerant only is the solution, the question is only of degree.

So more generally this. Person x who associates with group A is intolerant of group B because they think they are intolerant of C.

To me what's really going on here is tribalism and lack of respect and dignity for other humans.
Person x has decided to be intolerant of a person because they have placed them in a group of ideas they find wrong. Person x then shows no dignity or respect for that individual. The respect and dignity that everyone expects to be treated with.

I've just become a father and I'm getting to experience my kids learning to walk, talk and develop ideas for the first time. It reminds me that all humans start this way. All knowing nothing as we go on our journey of development and understanding in life. Somewhere along that way, some of us decide that we being part of group A are more intelligent and/or have better values then others that we have decided to associate with group B. Therefore we decide that they don’t deserve human respect and dignity when engaging with them. We have decided just to ignore them or cancel them or worse.

This is the solution to intolerance?
My guess is that it's a suburban thing. People are almost always 'indoors', home or car. The standard for what's acceptable outdoor weather is high.

Visit a northern urban downtown. You will see plenty of people who pay little attention to the rain - not even rain jackets or umbrellas. They just go about their day.
> Really? Show me all the storage facilities France built when they have >80% of their electricity coming from nuclear power?

It's called Europe. To make their nuclear less unaffordable they use other countries as seasonal and diurnal storage.

> Unlike nuclear which has historical precedence of being built at scale and cheaply

Where? Show a single privately run Gen III or later commercial plant funded without government enforced monopoly, free loans, or direct funding that comes in at an affordable price.

> Unlike nuclear which has historical precedence of being built at scale and cheaply. If we had kept building nuclear plant at the same rate as we did in the 60s and 70s we'd have a completely decarbonized grid by now. We have no such historical precedence building grid storage.

No, there'd be no viable Uranium in the ground after about 1980.
sweeping social evaluations like this one have left me cold these days -- too many particulars in this messy world today. Instead of finding a perpetrator social class with some catchy acronym, why not try factual data?

The top administrator payroll at a decent-sized school has been described recently as more like a mafia system -- outsiders are plentiful and there are things for them to do with some vague promise that they might prosper for it. Insiders are worked hard and at the lowest levels, get worse treatment than most outsiders. Once the promotional levels get into the picture, ruthless and relentless infighting not visible to other insiders or outsiders, culls the herd that wants to rise to the top; most fail or tire of the fight.

Then, apex roles like top administrator, or Head Coach for a profitable sports team, make old-world style agreements with many multiples of income of their nearest rival, signalling dominance, and serving as a goalpost for achievement supposedly available to "anyone."

There are thousands of situations like this across wealthy nations, hidden behind the middle class success they breed on. It is even extolled as a virtue among the predatory capitalists as "competition".

This state of affairs is a social default - not some political development of our times. This is ancient as societies go.. it is sometimes startling to see it starkly. I suspect that more than half of higher education by numbers are failing financially right now, while some small number of institutions echo the money-printing economy numbers of the last fifteen years.

> basic medical definition of dead, which is basically no heartbeat

This is an extremely reductive statement. There is no unified medical definition of death, precisely because it's a highly controversial topic.

Closest to what you're trying to say is UDDA (which, ironically, is currently being revised), and it explicitly mentions brain death: "An individual who has sustained either (1) irreversible cessation of circulatory and respiratory functions, or (2) irreversible cessation of all functions of the entire brain, including the brain stem, is dead."

They supported it with natural resources, subsidies/tax cuts for EVs, and a good enough economy. All of which are either non existend, or declining in most of Europe.

And having a country with big sales is nowhere close to the same thing as supporting a 350 market with anywhere near replacement rates of its cars - which beside lacking infrastructure, it also needs capacities, battery resources etc, that are not there at this level.

Academia is an incredible industry to be in if you are a rent seeker.

Universities' top lines (revenue) consist of a few major areas: beyond tuition and any state aid (for state schools), research grants are a huge source of funding. Most of that comes from the federal government.

Most research grants have an itemized budget and, alongside the itemized budget, "indirect costs" that are often between 30-60% of the direct budget. Schools do, of course, have indirect costs associated with conducting research, such as facilities and actual administration (secretarial work, accountants, etc.). But these costs are not itemized and included in research grant budgets! It's just a percentage of the research budget.

Naturally, this both incentivizes institutions to maximize the size of the research budget and creates a large pool of nebulously-allocated money for rent seekers to try to socially capture.

At this point, I can't help but think that the federal agencies that write grants are somewhat complicit in this process.
Oh no, I was referring to AB5, the law a politician (Lorena Gonzalez) owned by a huge multinational syndicate (Teamsters) pushed through so that even gig workers could be pressured to join the union and pay the fees.

A law so incredibly inept that had to be amended to exclude any other part-time employees, from musicians and designers to writers and journalists, remaining in the end what was clearly from the beginning: an anti-high-tech law.

A law so evil no actual gig worker supported (voting Prop 22 instead) because it obviously gave them less options and money and more paperwork. But a huge cash grab for the state and the unions who could tax and control yet another avenue left us to make some money. Because nothing annoys leftists more than independent people, people who just want to be left alone to work and live and don't need them and their f-ing "favors".

And finally, I was in SF before Twitter even existed. But I left, a long time ago, seeing clearly where thing were heading. And it looks I was quite right... what a mess.

Ad hominem (Latin for 'to the person'), short for argumentum ad hominem (Latin for 'argument to the person'), refers to several types of arguments, most of which are fallacious.

Typically, this term refers to a rhetorical strategy where the speaker attacks the character, motive, or some other attribute of the person making an argument rather than addressing the substance of the argument itself.
That's a nice factoid, but if you read a little further in the logic book you would learn it's quite useful. Proving implications, such a B -> C can be an important step in themselves. It's also essential for proofs by contradiction and proofs of impossibility.

Even if you were right, that particular definition of implication is just convention. There are other logical systems and views that don't interpret it that way.

I spent all weekend playing with ChatGPT.

What I found most powerful was the ability to interrogate its responses. I can ask broad/general questions, and then follow-up with 'why is X used in this way? How else can I do that?' or 'you mentioned Y, how does it work and why isn't X used instead?'.

I had ChatGPT explain to me how Rust's implementation of `Vec` works, and importantly, WHY things have been done in a certain way, e.g. why a separate struct called `RawVec` is used.

This may be simple information, but to be able to get it by asking questions in ways that make sense to ME, is so valuable.

Excellent points. A judgment call has to be made if there are two competing videos for the same topic, and around the same length. This sometimes happens, for very popular topics (e.g. HTML basics).

The plan is to have a feedback mechanism that will let the viewers decide if a video should stay or go.

Where possible, attention is called to the credentials of the instructor (much more important and impressive than the credentials of the curator). The first few minutes of the videos are usually enough to convince a viewer that it's a serious video intended to convey information.

Tell me you're not from the North without telling me you're not from the North.

I lived in the Yukon for 4 years, spent plenty of time up in the Arctic Circle (in early December the day time high temp was -48C / -55F.

Slept in a wall tent plenty of times bison hunting when it was past -50C / -55F overnight. All our thermometers stopped at -50C so we don't know how cold it was.

When you make a comment like yours you are showing you don't understand the life up there, and you don't understand why people choose to live in the north and go on adventures. The very, VERY vast majority of Alaskans say stuff like "I'm never going back to the lower 48".

People in the north want the adventure life, they want to take risks and they want to live. They don't want to live in a cage and have their water changed three times a day. Let them live the life they want without criticizing and without push your opinion of what is acceptable risk onto other people.

I can see another issue in that list: for half of the entries, it displays the state but not the country, and for the other half, it displays the country but not the state (or its local equivalent). Given that there are things like cities with the same name but within different states in the same country (a quick web search tells me that, in my country, there are many cities like that), and even states named identically to an unrelated country, it's not hard to see how this could get confusing.

Is it really surprising that TV is turning to garbage? There's no great conspiracy to dumb it down, it's just a question of demographics. TV used to be the primary source of home entertainment for every age group, now it's just people too technologically illiterate to work out how to sign up for streaming services.

In my group of close 25 - 32 ish year old friends, encompassing maybe 10 households I don't know a single one who actually has their TV hooked up to regular TV, all of them consume content through a combination of streaming services and piracy.

Expand your search past regular broadcast television and you'll find there's a thousand times more weird, avant garde stuff out there today if that's what you're into.
