Which country are you from? I don't see how it's physically possible to save 10 years of runway with a PhD's worth of debt and only 6 years of work. I did 10 years of labor with only a Bachelor degree's worth of university debt and my net worth is only enough to get me through 2 years if I liquidate everything... But my startup shares are illiquid (pre-ICO) and all my cryptocurrency is locked to earn forging rewards so in practice I only have about 2 months of liquid runway.
I tried several times to play chess against it. It made reasonable if poor moves for the first 10 moves of the game. It also gave plausible-sounding if entirely incorrect explanations of why the moves were good, such as "I'm playing Nf6-g8, which is a good move because it defends my pawn on f7 [it doesn't] and controls the center, allowing me to set up an attack on your king".

At some point though, it always got stuck and insisted on making illegal moves, even when I corrected it by providing the current board position in FEN.

Phone menus are not generally viewed as competitive advantages, I suppose, but we have them in plenty.

I haven’t seen any code generated by an AI that in any way approach the kind of complexity I am dealing with in my daily job (large scale enterprise software running operations and planning for international companies). Especially given the fact just describing what the software does in English to the AI and then testing it and fixing the mistakes made would probably be as much work as just coding it in a programming language. And we already have a technology that gives us instant highly advanced well functioning code I can reuse: it’s called frameworks/modules/libraries etc.
> Is it 'subjective' that many activities are segregated by gender in the West?

You're conflating sex and gender. If you used the two terms as others do there's no surprise.

Washrooms, in almost the entire world, are sex segregated. They aren't gender-segregated in the sense of transgender because they forbid all males and allow all females, or vice versa.

> If a person doesn't like that, how is it not a logical response to try to change their gender?

The washroom isn't actually gender segregated, it's sex segregated and you can't change sex. The words you're using are chosen to subtly obscure the situation.

> So you're telling me that a boy who identifies as a boy is fine to change with the girls at PE and do their activities? OR is there 'baggage' to being a boy in this scenario?

It sure feels like there's baggage to being a girl - being an object for you to shower next to, not a person with their own privacy rights.

I tried to fix a broken ringer switch along time ago, felt it just needed cleaning.
Took off screen, unclipped connector. Cleaned out switch.

Then I tried to hook connector back, couldn't get it connected back. Panicked. Felt I basically broke it, and needed to buy a new phone. Left it for a day, didn't sleep at night, with a sick feeling since I wasn't ready to buy a new phone at the time. Thought about buying the previous model used.

But then the next day, I figured since it was broke to me, I'd just try really hard to push it back on. Eventually with enough force I thought I'd break everything on it, nearly all my weight, I felt the click of the connector snapping on.

Phone turned on. Switch still didn't work. Gave up fixing my phone after that.

Most people are able to adjust their ears to an unfamiliar accent if they exert a bit of effort. It might be a little clumsy, and you might have to ask them to repeat themselves a few times, but that's just life for the millions of Americans who live in diverse cities, and those work for companies that employ non-native English speakers. MegaCorp isn't buying this tech to reduce this friction, though - they're buying it to appease the outright racist callers who verbally attack the employees and outright refuse to even try talking to them.

That said, I don't think forcing older rural folks to wrangle with a southeast Asian accent is going to solve any societal problems, and I imagine the call center workers in Asia would be big fans this tech if it reduces irate interactions and actually works well.

Depending on the specifics of the business model (e.g. is the marginal good sold paying primarily for the up-front investment, or for the per-item costs), you can sometimes call it "NA subsidizing everyone else", or in other cases "vendor overcharging NA customers because they're wealthier on average", or in yet other cases, "selling at the local market rate".

There's a significant difference from an advertiser learning a little too much about me to the government tracking my every move. Of course, there are risks, but it is beyond the pale for our own governments to be utilizing these tools in this way and this article puts the focus squarely on this part of the problem.

In any case.. I wonder if the solution to all of this is just noise. Our devices should be generating 10x the fake data as it does real data, then we can just salt the information landscape for good and make it useless to try to capture value here.

Those poor companies. Give them a few wrongful lawsuits and they fall over. /s

If only it were so simple to bring companies down. I think the odds are heavily against something like this being a big issue. Companies have more money to prove you wrong and also pay better lawyers to present proof. Sure, there could be a few of such cases. But they probably happen anyways.

That said, you sure can "fix" your John Deere easier to increase the horsepower while also unlawfully increasing exhaust fumes. But this is an individual issue then, not the problem of the company (John Deere). Right to repair does make some things more tricky. But the payoff is worth it imho.
Your post seemed dismissive of mine, given the tone of suggesting I just try to get my laptop to generate a slime language from the command prompt or something.

Not every pilot gets to be a fighter pilot. We have more software jobs than ever but a lot of them are about gluing things together. I think this is more about perceptions and expectations than actual approaches or state of the industry.

Not that there isn’t a need for optimization and replacing glued pieces with bespoke pieces. But just don’t do it prematurely because it’s more exciting. It’s regularly not advantageous.

> Does React use a shadow DOM? Yes

No. You must be confusing it with virtual DOM.

As for React, what we are currently observing is that 1) it's a fairly large library in itself (~50kB of minified gzipped javascript); 2) it has a relatively slow DOM update mechanism; 3) it rerenders too eagerly, making it too easy to further degrade performance; 4) it's a lock-in into a non-standard jsx syntax, forever tying you to preprocessors.

What conclusions an architect would make looking at all this, I do not know.

From what I understand, the Russian market has a lot of tech-savvy users but disposable income is lower. If you didn’t price your app for the Russian market, it was more likely to get pirated or cloned. Similar caveats in certain parts of eastern Europe. At least, that was the justification I’ve heard.

Different story in places like Africa, where you often make a completely different app to contend with things like data caps and slow networks (e.g. Facebook Lite).
I'm a PM and I ended up graduating with an econ BA instead of a CS degree, but I took a few intro CS classes at UCLA in...2011/2012.

Intro to Programming 1 and 2 were taught in C++. Can't remember which one taught pass by reference, but it was definitely in one of those two.

Third class I took was Intro to Systems or something like that. The whole class was C and x86 ASM. Lots of binary operations in that one, used K&R a fair amount in that class (also learned debugging assembly in GDB and some other "low-level"-ish stuff).

Just looked it up, can't say 100% it's still C++, but the syllabus looks about the same as I remember for both class. It gets to pointers by week 7, and then in the second class goes deeper:

* https://web.cs.ucla.edu/classes/spring22/cs31/syllabus.html#...

* https://web.cs.ucla.edu/classes/spring22/cs32/syllabus.html#...

And again, I didn't even get a CS degree. This was all lower-div CS work at a public university, and I'm not even a career engineer.

> So no, not knowing the difference between passing references or values, or pointers and dereferencing them is not as strange as you seem to think it is. It is not a piece of knowledge or experience that is seen as valuable enough by the people that create the curriculum or the companies that employ the largest quantities of inexperienced workers in this part of the world.

This attitude is why you're getting flak in this thread. Your claim that "We don't teach pass by reference these days" was too absolute, and not accurate for a ton of people. Then someone came back and told you that, and you told them that their claim was too absolute.

I'll also say that it's something that was absolutely valued around the orgs I worked in at Microsoft (Azure, DevDiv, Windows, very roughly bottom half of the stack teams). If not C/C++ pointers, than __absolutely__ passing by reference in C#.

Point being: __knowing__ about pointers, passing by ref vs. value, etc. is not as strange as __you__ seem to think it is.

I think of this every time I encounter a healthcare worker who talks about how it’s “impossible” to estimate and brings out some edge case of a routine $50k procedure costing $500k with complications and leaving out the part how there are many instances where it only costs $25k.

It’s like hospitals pretend to be idiots when other industries can estimate a median cost and price accordingly. And they have estimates good enough to be profitable.

Even barbers charge $30 for a haircut when some take 5 minutes and some take 30. If a barber didn’t post prices because it’s impossible to estimate how many minutes it takes to cut hair I wouldn’t use them unless my life depended on it.

Same. This is a great depiction of a healthy practice.
I don't think I know enough about it to offer a meaningful opinion. It appears to be an offering that is employee sponsored so without understanding the costs to the employer it is difficult to compare it with anything. A point that I don't think is all that well understood is that some employer funded plans, while administered by someone like UHC, it's actually the employer that has a large say who, what and how much something is covered. Speaking for myself, I would want to consider what my out of pocket cost to see a top specialist of my choosing in my area would be. Also personally I am not a fan of HSA plans.

>>Grabber Blue came out on the Mustang even earlier and is a throwback to the 70s color of the same name. Voodoo Blue and Army Green on the FJ Cruiser is also a simple glossy color on an even older car.

Yes I have a 2021 radrunner as well and it's been fabulous. I tow my daughters trailer with it (had to put in a lock washer to keep it all together - $.35) and it's a blast.

It's a joke... They're saying GPT-4 is doing the research now.
Even still.. Seems a bit... arbitrary?

It's pretty easy to just never bump into certain corners of languages -- even if you use said language extensively. I've used Python for, like, 8(ish) years professionally. I maintain a few moderately popular open source libraries. I honestly don't recall exactly what happens when you do the `list_to_add=[]` thing, because these days I pretty much never pass in a list with the purpose of having it be mutated by something else. I know is that I did try it once, a long time ago, and that it does something unexpected. But I couldn't tell ya more than that just by looking at in.

Color me dismayed to discover that I'm actually a hack fraud.

Added context by 3rd parties has a strong tendency to either add more fluff or replace the biases of the company with the biases of the particular article not just clarify. One benefit of reading the direct press release is you at least have a clear understanding going into it that the company is going to be biased towards itself. Couple that with having every bit of new information released unfiltered and it's why I prefer starting with the press release then building context instead of trying to get both at once.
Finding Language in the Brain
Yes, absolutely. It would be relatively easy, and indeed you don't need OpenAI for it (though you might want them to improvise the actual dialog). Imagine where your GTA nemesis turns out to be a relative of the pedestrian you carelessly ran over in your first 15 minutes.
About a decade ago we got a Lasko box fan that was all-metal. About $100 versus maybe $25 for the plastic ones (back then—I'm sure both would be worse now, thanks inflation).

It's amazing, and unlike the plastic ones didn't die in 2-3 years. Way more powerful (the "low" setting is somewhere between "medium" and "high" on the plastic fans we've owned), cord's thicker and heavier, whole case and the screens are heavy metal so they're difficult to break and I could probably repair them somehow, if they did.

Unfortunately, last I checked nobody makes anything like it now. Guess we'll have to look for some kind of shop-fan if this one ever dies and can't be fixed, assuming those haven't been shittified by then.
It seems also to do it if you ask about something that's not documented in detail. It'll get details of the 1976 Tangshan earthquake dead on, but ask for the 1982 Bonin Island earthquake and apparently it was at a depth of 40km (it was actually 22.2), but it gets the magnitude right.

The Nicobar Islands earthquake on 26 December the same year apparently killed 4000 with a magnitude of 7.1. It didn't, it injured 52, and there were two: magnitude 6.2 and 6.3. And it was in January. 26th December was indeed an earthquake that affected those islands. In 2004.

Which is not that surprising, as how would it know, considering it probably didn't have much input about it. What is more amazing is the seamless blending of correctly regurgitated details with very plausible wholesale fabrication and, even more convincingly, blending of fact with fiction.

Thanks. It would be simpler if I were working on only one platform that I knew supported a specific set of instructions. But, even though the code does involve some convolutions and things that are a good fit for SIMD, it needs to be cross-platform, so that the intrinsics should compile to SSE/AVX on Intel and NEON (?) on ARM where possible, but to something slow but workable on older chips. Delineating and illustrating using the most cross-platform intrinsics is what I'm looking for guidance on.
