More specific prompts yield more interesting answers. The feeling of repetitiveness mostly comes from the ethical alignment and forced positivity. You tell it to write a story and it always ends with some moral or happily-ever-after bullshit, which gets old. But you can just tell it not to, and it'll comply (at least after hitting Try Again a couple times).

Personally I'll be using it daily from now on as a writing aid (mainly to ask it to rewrite my text to sound more professional).
> And since smartphones are ubiquitous, it is not unreasonable that your landlord would choose a technology that requires you to have one. “Almost everybody has a smartphone nowadays,” Mr. Goldberg said. “I don’t think the courts would be sympathetic to that” if you challenged the policy.

A technology that ~85% of people possess[1] can be mandatory to live in a building? Feels discriminatory and it seems like a bad opinion from one lawyer.

Yep. Kinda like manufacturing cars is highly regulated. Or selling them without local dealerships. Or manufacturing industrial warehouse-sized batteries. Or building and operating an international network of charging stations.
Dude, what did Canada do to you?
You actually think this program is capable of thoughts like an organic being is? That's really scary!

We need to educate people about what's going on "under the hood" with these things a lot better I think.

This algorithm just regurgitates information that was originally created by humans, in a way that appears to be "smart". If you only train it on specific information or tweak some of the internals it will happily spit out complete non-sense for you.

I agree that this is a clever invention but it's not thinking or reasoning like a human or living create does, it's just really good at appearing as if it's doing so.

Parrots are able to mimic human speech extremely well but they do not actually understand what they are saying, the same thing is going on here.

I can't imagine that this undisclosed requirement wouldn't let the tenant escape their lease, or at a very minimum allow them to force the landlord to provide a phone for that purpose if they don't want to abandon the lease.

Vim is incredibly useful as a consistant and portable set of shortcut keys and macros that you can bring into most IDEs/text editors with a VIM emulation plugin! I’ve been using VIM (keys) daily for years and touch the actual vim binary on my machine maybe twice a year.
Well, to be fair there is a quantum leap: an ability to materialize abstract thought presented as a text. This will end a lot of jobs where anyone can judge the result or certain error rate is tolerable. But while we have a lot of jobs like that, way to many are not like that and they will not be replaced. But i like the idea of a new type of UI (UX?) being born in front of us.
I’m pretty sure that “physical access” is a requirement for residency, and every single legal process would uphold that
Thank you for the links, it's fascinating!

I totally agree on the insane comment.

I also own a 2018 4Runner. It has around 180,000 miles, has been driven over some of the roughest backcountry routes in the United States, and has had no quality or performance issues. Ever. Just routine maintenance.
Having worked for some startups of varying success...

1. Why? What's the benefit for them / their investors?

2. Would a competitor build on top of this and make a success? Why would I want to help them?

3. Does anyone care about this? Most startups aren't solving innovative problems.

4. Who owns the rights to the code? Some of it may not be their IP.

5. What's the liability? Has an API key been left in the code? Could a scammer use the assets to defraud old customers?

6. Perhaps we want to try again in a few years? Let's keep the code on ice.

Don't get me wrong - I'd love to see more organisations do this. But there is very little advantage for them, and a considerable amount of risk. So it is not surprising that they don't.
I'm a little disappointed that "Just Grandma and Me" isn't a first person shooter but other than that, great work!
I was around back then and uploading websites, (version controlling on svn, not git), and I do not recall it being a standard. The closest standard I can think of is .htaccess files (which we did upload) for various vhost specific settings.

What is your basis for this standard? Was there a mailing list agreement I missed?
Looks like the author feels similarly:

> If you stare at an old mechanical calculator it just sits there. It does no computing and is, therefore, not a computer. When a person starts punching the keys and turning the crank the person-device computes and is a computer. So too, an abacus is just an assembly of beads and rods or lines and pebbles, and is not a computer. But when a person uses the abacus to perform calculations, then the person-abacus is a computer.

Personally, 80% of my web usage these days is hacker news and wikipedia. Neither of which do this.

The rest is probably majority dev docs (crystal atm), and I'm not aware of any dev docs that do this either.

The point here being that not all websites exhibit this behavior.

We died more. But there's a bit of medical science that's also accrued in the intervening millennia, so apples and oranges.

The one that always gets me is olives. How the hell did people figure out how to make them edible? And why?!
How long has parking been something that needed an app?
The State licenses I have seen have two blank lines on back upon which someone who gets a different address simply writes the new address.
Not sure how it is elsewhere, but at least in Seattle we always have pay stations set up anywhere you have to pay to park. The pay by phone app is merely a convenience, and isn’t required at all.
Whilst that's _sometimes_ true, there are plenty of cases where there's no additional value compared to just dragging the file into your FTP client.

A Brief Comparison Between Human Perception and Multimodal LMs
The problem is vastly greater than being reported and for great reason obviously, copy cats. This past weekend nearly one million USD in losses alone were accrued by a regional power company at several regional substations via damage and theft. These incidents did result in power outages but not to the scale of affecting 5o,ooo people but instead only areas of several hundred. This problem is not isolated to only what you read in the news but is currently happening everywhere which in time will be impacting electrical costs and reliability for everyone. Lather in the supply chain issues and the depletion of on hand supply of drop-in replacements and some this winter, domestically and internationally, will be in the dark feeling the cold if electricity is their only means to survive.

Tenant law is one of the few law areas that does, indeed, have extremely verbose language in most US states, and it almost always gives judges immense leeway to punish a party for bad faith actions.
In South India, The Indian oil Sardine fish is something people eat like 5+ fish/meal.

People under estimate how much fish is sold and eaten. There are also other kinds of fish available in Bangalore they come like $1.5/kg. They are basically the 'Chinese Pomfret', they are mostly found in lakes formed around water bodies downstream to dam spillways. These are almost algae to protein conversion organism. Their only cost is cost of transportation. You need to see just how much people eat this. The fact they are also by many a definition way more cheaper than even vegetables.
Huh? We were talking about the career of Mr. Houser -- not sure exactly when he ran Sears but he died in 1963, I'm pretty sure the technology needed to build "Amazon" didn't exist at that time. Anyway 25 years later Sears (and IBM) at least took a shot at it with Prodigy.
> Almost certainly the law is not explicit enough to say people are required to have a functioning key, it likely just says people are required to have residency of a unit.

Actually, the law is pretty explicit about that. And judges have a decent amount of leeway to determine if a landlord has been acting in bad faith.

If you are a landlord, and you have a bad tenant, you are definitely not interested in any "shenanigans" if you have any amount of rationality. All you care about is getting a bad tenant out as soon as possible, and the last thing you'd want is for a judge to delay the process, or penalize you, because they have found that you haven't complied with the law.
I’ve seen private car parks which charge extra for using the machine instead of the app. Clearly trying to phase out the machine. The new government owned machines in my city also switched to being card only.
Some more recent studies estimate two trillion galaxies. Mind blowing either way.
Ok, fair point. But this has nothing to do with the article.
One of the bugs was great: the walking pavement bug was so much fun.
There was (is?) a commercial station in the bay area that broadcasts simultaneously on AM and FM. I could tune the car radio to the correct frequency on each and then compare the sound quality by flipping the AM/FM switch.

FM is WAY better sound quality. It's not even close.
Agreed, but this has nothing to do with the article
I am put off by QR code menus. The last thing I want is a need to use my phone if I’m sitting at a table with people.
It is a one time expense.
I had this same experience. The fine print says you have to log in without passwordless at least once, and after that it starts working. It's a low-risk pilot of the feature I think, but will be more useful to me when it comes to the extension. It's strange that you have to sign in to the app at least once, seems to negate one of the common use cases.

The only hesitation for me is as other folks mentioned - never typing the master password again might make remembering the pass phrase challenging..
The Eastside dumps it's problems elsewhere, the current homeless situation and lack of facilities east of Seattle is but one example.

Everett has made a huge effort with their rehabilitation and detox programs, but they have the same shitty situation of being the dumping ground for Snohomish County.
If you want to see something truly scary, from the point of view of an ISP, the number of building management people installing access control system who want a static public IP for them and intend to plug them directly into the internet without any form of firewall or router in between. Same with camera systems! And keyfob systems! And "smart" management devices of all types. They have no clue whatsoever.

Why does an open source project need to lure new users? Especially at the expense of limited dev time when there are actual security features in the issue tracker?
Reminds me of the experiment where split brain patients (those with their corpus callosum cut which connects the hemispheres of the brain together) had their eyes projected with different images. They could perform tasks but not be able to explain why they did it or make up nonsensical explanations which they believed to be completely correct.

False. "American" is by birth and SSN is voluntary.
I looked this up before since I was curious if this actually did anything, and apparently the US _does_ have a lower incidence of food poisoning compared to many countries, so perhaps some of these preventative measures taken in the US do help.

I guess it also helps there is a cultural aversion to eating raw food compared to the Europe and Asia.

Even if we pretend for a moment that there was some merit to the “web3 smart contract”, by now it should be painfully clear to anyone involved that this is a technological dead end.

There are a many more realistic ideas to explore and research instead of wasting time on crypto unicorns.

The cost to take a menu and print it for each table plus some is non-zero. The cost to replace the old online menu with the new menu online is near-zero, besides man hours for the manager/chef to determine the seasonal cuisine.
Yes, and if you agree your physical access requires checking in with a front desk attendant then it's fine.
You can also include JavaScript in SVG. That is used e.g. by the flamegraphs generated with Brendan Gregg’s Flamegraph.pl script. Consequently, when you open them in a classic image viewer, they’re static, but when you open them in a web browser, they’re interactive. I don’t think Inkscape supports JavaScript.

"Design of an accelerator-driven system for the destruction of nuclear waste"
Y Kadi, JP Revol - 2003 - osti.gov

> "Progress in particle accelerator technology makes it possible to use a proton accelerator to produce energy and to destroy nuclear waste efficiently. The Energy Amplifier (EA) proposed by Carlo Rubbia and his group is a sub-critical fast neutron system driven by a proton accelerator. It is particularly attractive for destroying, through fission, transuranic elements produced by present nuclear reactors. "

Not much seems to have happened since then other than simulations, however. It might be more applicable for the minor actinides that contaminte 'spent' nuclear fuel, maybe, and which tend to have very long half-lives, but it should work for plutonium as well, though maybe MOX fuel is the better option:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minor_actinide

> "The most important isotopes of these elements in spent nuclear fuel are neptunium-237, americium-241, americium-243, curium-242 through -248, and californium-249 through -252."

The thing they’ve got going for them is, so long as more shares don’t get added like you say, the closer they get to the goal the more likely people will be to join in. If they’re at 60% now like they say they are (find out for sure in a few days) I think things are going to start snowballing, either this quarter or next when they presumably cross the 66% or 75% marks. People will jump on the bandwagon just for the fun of it to “stick it to the man”.
This corporate 'cancel' response has become as standard tactic to challenge the authority and power of the public. Recall Amazon threatening to withdraw from several places, Uber and Lyft threatening to leave California, etc.

It's not bad faith if it's clearly spelled out in your rental agreement and you sign it. That's why I say it's shenanigans, they know people won't realize the implications of what they're signing but when lawyers argue it in front of a judge it is crystal clear to the letter of the law.
Hijacking for another Dune-themed game: anyone successfully played Emperor: Battle for Dune on Windows > 10? Easily one of my favorite RTS's all time, but not as nostalgic as Dune 1/2/2k or other RTS's and definitely won't get the remaster/remake treatment :(

Wheel could have gotten stuck in a recessed light rail line, pothole, or gouge in the road. A stick or shoelace could have become tangled in the front wheel and arrested its movement.

San Francisco used to have a station with left wing talk show hosts.

Then some big corpo (cumulus?) snapped up the station and the cast changed significantly, with the station swinging to the right very noticeably.

I think a key to the apartment is something that's de facto supplied with a lease. They can't require you to spend additional money for a smartphone and service. (They key can be a fob or card in 2022, of course.)
In 2016 Transformers didn't exist and the state of the art for neural network based NLP was using LSTMs that had a limit of maybe 100 words at most.

Flash Attention can currently scale up to 64,000 tokens on an A100.

Drawing Board was probably the most usable of Apple's alternative Appearance themes (which never shipped, but were leaked pretty quickly). The little lines extending off the corners of windows had some glitchy behavior in some apps, IIRC, but it was at least visually acceptable, and I used it for a while.

The other two themes were basically unusable, though, and it's very clear why they were never officially released.

This is my take away too in the short term. Thing is, this isn’t harmless.

Seems like a new ceiling is about to be cast and if you happen to find yourself above it, or young enough to have time to adapt, you may be fine. But if you’re too junior to use AI well or to be valuable in your own right, you’re in trouble.

While you’re still trying to work out the components of a tech stack, a senior dev will be learning whole new languages and tech stacks faster than before.

And of course managers will probably fine.
