> The core idea of a GAN is based on the "indirect" training through the discriminator, another neural network that can tell how "realistic" the input seems, which itself is also being updated dynamically. This means that the generator is not trained to minimize the distance to a specific image, but rather to fool the discriminator. This enables the model to learn in an unsupervised manner.

I guess the author suggests, why not at least do SORT BY country THEN BY city_name or something like that. Which might be nice, I suppose.
I see what you did there.

I have an OpenAI account and like their product, I'm certainly impressed by this latest version though I have had little time to play with it. But the combination of quality AI with social reputation scoring is absolutely toxic, and the wider impact of SEO (a less curated version of the same thing) are a disaster. I was already sick of all the tutorial sites like geeks4geeks, w3schools etc and their numerous imitators just content farming whatever is turning up in searches. Marketing and self promotion is cancer and the people who try to game their way to success in this manner are awful. Perhaps the best use of counter-AI will not be in filtering these people, but in providing hem with useless rewards and the appearance of excited fanbases that will divert them into a parallel hamster wheel web. Nothing would please me more than for the top 5000 influencers of this sort to be granted exclusive access to a luxury cruise that leaves port once a year for a tour of the Bermuda triangle.

I think the best use of ChatGPT would be in an IDE plugin, so you could point at function trees or code blocks and ask it to explain things, have it take care of basic refactoring tasks, help porting between languages or libraries and so on. I can definitely see a future where you throw together a working prototype of something, answer a few questions about type hinting and edge cases, and AI does the legwork of converting the prototype into a strongly typed final product.

Hey, I am the creator of entgo.io. I'm sorry to hear that your experience with the project was not great. I try to be available on our Discord, Slack, or the issue tracker, but sometimes I do miss some messages. If you ever consider to rejoin the community, please don't hesitate to drop me a message on our Discord.

I would also like to emphasize that Ent is an open-source project under the Linux Foundation, and it is not monetized in any way. Most of my work on it in the last years was on my free time, including when I was working at Facebook and wanted to OSS it. We (heavily) use Ent in our own products today, and that is why we continue to sponsor and maintain the project. I love it and I find it useful.

Thanks for the honest feedback. I appreciate it.
replace chat GPT with slide rule and calculator and you have the endless arguments made against calculators in the 70s. change it to typewriters in word processors and you have all the hand ringing in the early '80s about how writing was going to be destroyed by easy copy paste. That isn't a proof that your argument is wrong of course, but it is very suggestive to me.

Thanks but no thanks. I think to this day people still get a little jitter in their nervous system when it comes to phones on an airplane. And it makes sense, they make their safety programs have you believe something bad could happen.

It's kind of like walking in a room with an angry person present, you can feel that. And you can feel people respecting the idea of shutting the phone off if that means their flight is going to be safe and sound.

That said... calls on flights? Man, that sounds absolutely terrible. Sure, very few people fly around all the time. But I would be absolutely pissed if I ended up on a flight where a bunch of the passengers felt so comfortable to just spend 2 hours on a phone chatting shit because they can.

You factor in things like overly-extroverted people, alcohol, someone having a bad day, and so forth, and getting on a flight is suddenly not about security but about whether or not someone will be shouting at their phone for 2-3 hours straight.

Fessenheim is the proof that the state of the other nuclear plants is not the result of the greens: Fessenheim only does not explain why the other nuclear plants are in disarray.

The situation for Fessenheim is in fact more complicated (the condition to close Fessenheim was to open Flamanville, proof that the government was pushing to maintain nuclear and was not at all anti-nuclear).

Well, you seem to not know the data. I'm a pro-nuclear, and yet, nowadays, nuclear is just too expensive (you cannot do a small project, you can only invest very huge amount for project that will take years) and is sometimes not the solution (increasing the nuclear share is really the exception in scientific studies, not because of "green brainwashing", just because nuclear is just way more complicated to put in place than solar and wind. Solar and wind have the problem of variability of production, but this problem is not as big as other pragmatical problem with nuclear). Not all the decisions that imply choosing something else than nuclear means it's "pseudo-environmental policies", sometimes, it's just the result of science. I also remember that in France, pseudo-science and incorrect data was used to pretend that solar was bad for nuclear. These data were bullshit at the time, but now are even less credible as the facts demonstrate it was not the case.

There are stupidity in the side of the greens, but trust me, brainwashing is as important from the pro-nuclear who just refuse every scientific facts that don't go their way. And there is pro-nuclear brainwashed people in France for a long time, as long as the brainwashed greens. It's very sad to see those people thinking they are smarter when they are just as stupid and bad for the environment.

SAP Concur is a complete nightmare for managing expenses. It's so bad that it will ruin your entire weekend, leaving you feeling frustrated and drained. The interface is a convoluted mess that is practically impossible to navigate, and entering expenses takes forever.

The expense categorization system is an abomination that will drive you insane with its constant mistakes and errors. The approval process is a black hole that sucks up your expenses and never spits them back out. I feel SAP Concur is the worst software ever created for expense management, and using it makes me wish I never had to do expenses again.

Expensify is so much better. The OCR isn't great though

It is certainly possible to build an AI that is capable of recognizing the writing style of another AI, such as ChatGPT. This kind of AI is often referred to as a "style transfer" or "style transfer model."

To build a ChatGPT detector, you would first need to collect a large amount of text that was generated by ChatGPT. This could be done by providing a variety of different prompts to the ChatGPT model and collecting the responses.

Next, you would need to train a machine learning model on this text. The most common approach for this kind of task is to use a deep learning model, such as a recurrent neural network (RNN). The RNN would be trained to take in a piece of text and predict whether it was written by ChatGPT or not.

As for the accuracy of such a model, it would depend on a variety of factors, including the quality and quantity of the training data, the specific model architecture and hyperparameters used, and the skill of the person training the model. With a large and diverse training dataset, and appropriate model design and training, it is likely that a ChatGPT detector could achieve relatively high accuracy.
Anyone else can log a cert too. There was talk of Chromium logging any cert that chains to a public root that they find un-logged.
Yes. But it means that all the expenses are accounted for and added to the expense report even if I need to add receipts for some of them and may have to add some additional information, e.g. category. As I say, not my choice but it probably captures some random fees etc. that I otherwise tend to forget about.

> They also need storage like nuclear for non-dispatchable loads in areas without good hydro or CSP resource.

Really? Show me all the storage facilities France built when they have >80% of their electricity coming from nuclear power? It'll be challenging for you to do so, since no such storage facilities were built. Nuclear power can be modulated. Plants try not to do this since they want to run at 100% as much as they can to make money, but there is no storage requirement for nuclear power.

> Incorrect. Seismic activity, ground, water, temperature, security and many other concerns limit siting severely.

All of which has been solved already. Seismically active areas have nuclear plants both in the US and around the world. Water is a non-issue since places with large energy use tend to be cities, which are populated by humans which also need water. Nuclear plants can also use wastewater or seawater (like the Palo Verde plant), it doesn't have to be potable water.

> Hydrogen or ammonia continue to exist after you make them. Simply overprovision your $300/kW electrolyser slightly and use chemical energy as your buffer. This has the added advantage of being an emergency or low CF backup at minimal extra cost.

Then show me the price history of commercial ammonia grid storage operators. Well, first you'll have to wait for such a facility to come online because none are operational. Proponents of intermittent sources keep hoping that some silver bullet will make storage nearly-free, since it's the only way to make wind and solar viable as primary sources of energy. But thus far, no silver bullet has come and it's unclear if it ever will.

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.

The two are fundamentally different. Unless you can devise a way to do BYO expense platform, you're comparing B2B to B2C product development, marketing and sales.

Do you think the PMs at Concur just woke up one day and decided to be user hostile because they're asshats? Of course not. They did what the Sales team, and Gartner, told them they needed to give to CFOs so that they would buy it. And then CFOs bought it.

Until someone can quantify the benefit of "better UX" to CFOs, or provide that and all the CFO facing features they want, crappy expense platforms will continue to be the order of the day.
Another measure would be initiating a bot-check for every user. Maybe even periodically.

Concur's backend is typical of a slow moving industry that works with old awkward systems like airlines. It's a shitshow of business logic and 20 year old legacy code that would be a long expensive nightmare to rewrite for little actual profit so no manager would ever approve of such an endeavor. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a mess of queries involved with this search such that trying to do a real sort of the results would require a significant degree of rewriting and touching scary code with huge amounts of bureaucratic review in order to be DOD compliant, so it gets labeled as "good enough" even if the current state drives some developers crazy.

> no city (at least no major US city) tried to go after Uber by claiming it was a taxi company

Many major cities did, including NYC, LA and SF. Regulators in all cities considered Uber to be operating illegally.

Those cities later came to agreements with Uber to allow it to operate, because there was enough support for Uber in the public.

> It is mostly a collection of documents intended to portray Uber as having an offensive culture.

Uber executives repeatedly admit that they're operating illegally, and tell their people in new jurisdictions to just press ahead and expand operations, regardless of what local regulators say. Their business model was to get big first and then to pressure governments to legalize their operations. That worked in most places.

> They went after Uber for arguing that workers were misclassified as contractors rather than employees

That came later.
> The first time someone arrives at the scene catering to the users, the whole industry will be wiped out.

I find it a little hard to see to be honest. Team members might push to use Slack over some other chat solution because they spend all day using that -- I've seen that happen and work. How often do you do expense reports that you're really going to nag the company to buy your favorite solution?
The "license hoop jumping overhead" is a legal requirement. If it ever comes out that your software contains code copied from some random web site, you're asking for a copyright infringement lawsuit. If you stick GPLed code in your code base, then your entire codebase is GPL and you're required to give away the source code on request. Even if something is MIT or BSD or similar license, you probably need to give the author credit in your software (this is why so many games have an "Open Source Licenses" option where you can read the licenses of various open source libraries they stuck in the game). If you forget to credit the author of the MIT licensed library you used, that's also a potential lawsuit.

In short, don't play loose with software licenses. The legal system has about as much interest in debating whether a company has to follow intellectual property laws as the tax collection agency does in debating whether you have to follow tax laws.

Great question! I've been using the new AI assistant for a while now and I've definitely noticed a certain "sameness" to its responses. In fact, I think it would be relatively easy to build an AI that could recognize the writing of this AI. The key would be to train the AI on a large dataset of the assistant's responses, which would allow it to learn the patterns and characteristics of the assistant's writing style. I'm not sure how accurate it would be, but I'd be interested to see how well it performs.

I bet that the design is telltale of the computational power that was available for simulations at the time they were designed. They probably had to use clunky approximations for the B1, and the resulting design was clunky as a result. And better technology and knowledge of aerodynamics let them design models with smoother (read: more computationally intensive) contours later.

Whether these smooth shapes were achievable in the 60s is a difficult question. They had parametric curves back then, but probably less idea how these contours influence aerodynamics and radar cross section, and even much less what the optimal shapes would be.

Are you assuming Samsung's updates rigorously use SSL, with proper certificate checking, or do you know that to be the fact?

These sorts of consumer-device companies often take other unwise security-through-obscurity, or only "folk-secure", shortcuts elsewhere – rather than defense in depth.

For example, thinking their app-signing keys secure, maybe they used something other than SSL, or SSL in some no-certificate-validation-mode.

It happens more than it should, with giant consumer-electronics conglomerates, even!
True, but it's not even sorted naively as a single string.
Yeah I was like that a few years back. Now I flip laptop screen over on its back like a giant tablet. Use it for signing docs, drawing rough interface plans & ideas, sketching out flow charts, producing diagrams, brainstorming with clients or co-workers, demo'ing or testing handheld tablet/phone apps with a interface closer to what they will use themselves, reading books & docs and so on. Probably only about 5% of work time if even that, but hell I hate laptops without it these days. The ability to do these things makes work a far more enjoyable experience. I like the added freedom of a laptop that doubles as a giant tablet with enough actual grunt to get stuff done.
Interesting. I had the same rule of thumb but haven’t followed the field closely since the early 2010s.
