My predictions for the next 5 to 10 years:

- A lot of porn will be produced by AI.

- A lot of "low end" graphic designer and illustration jobs will disappear and there will be lots of unemployment in this area. ("High end" graphic design and supervision jobs will remain, of course.) There will be plenty of software for creating cheap book covers,automatically arranging brochures, creating new variations from existing images. In contrast to existing software, you won't need a graphic designer to use this software and achieve perfect results.

- Online conversations will become very cumbersome. People will waste time answering to chat bots, chat bots will talk to chat bots. The signal to noise ratio on social media will increase. There will be a walls of text to navigate.

- Customer service will become a nightmare for customers who slowly realize they're being fooled by an AI that cannot do anything. The EU will probably prohibit or restrict the use of AI in customer service.

- Karma systems on social media might break. Bots can easily produce posts that create karma, which can then be exploited for nefarious purposes.

- Political disinformation and propaganda campaigns will reach society-threatening levels.

- There will be lots of auto-generated content that seems to make sense but is useless or dangerous. Cooking recipes will be even more useless than they already are. On a positive note, most people will see through the deception.

- "You're a bot!" will be an even more common ad hominem attack than it already is.

> compared to what a competent human in their skill can do

Enough speculation, I need to comment on this line. That's not a very relevant criterion from an economic perspective. It's a matter of scaling up. Take pornographic images as an example: You have to arrange for photo shootings, for the location, for models, bring the equipment, lightning, etc. Or, a GPU farm can spit out tens of thousands of images per hour.

Awesome work. Curious whether the whisper model could be ported to tinygrad and how the performance would compare to your implementation.
I live directly under the flight path for the Beluga's landing in the Hamburg airbus site, in a nice area north of the Elbe river.

One interesting thing about the Beluga: the pilots very often fail to land them and have to do multiple attempts! The Beluga landing is kind of loud, but it's nothing compared to the sound of the engines when they pull up after a failed attempt
I live in Othmarschen and very often there are planes other than Beluga's landing at the site
I sincerely doubt such statements, for they are often predicated by pre-derived assumptions.

Eg confirmation bias.

One example? Having a close to extinction event, doesn't invalidate that prior waves existed.

https://www.npr.org/sections/krulwich/2012/10/22/163397584/h...

EG, this potentially happened with populations seen in the old world, so there is no reason to presume differently for the new.

And there is no reason to presume it only happened once, eg near extinction.

> It absolutely is a partisan issue

As a culture war topic on twitter, maybe. But as a parenting issue, no.

> this transphobia

Facts aren't phobia.

> Transgenderism is testable, evaluatable, and has little to do with gender stereotypes like a boy playing with dolls

Which test? Is it medical and objective or based on self-reported feelings? Would you accept the answer if your government wanted to test and label you with it? Should Iran use it?

The trans community can't even decide if trans is a medical or mental condition or lifestyle choice. There certainly isn't a test for it or we'd have answers to those questions. If you insist there's a test that means you think trans is a condition which would make you a transmedicalist, or 'truscum' as they're called.

> A boy can absolutely wear a dress to elementary school without a teacher starting talk of transition.

No, counsellors and teachers speak of recognizing "cross-sex behaviors" in students. You can hear them in their own words in their tiktok videos.

Recently a friend's daughter has been "socially transitioned" at school. The teachers noticed she wasn't being feminine enough (our and her words, as we discuss it) and suggested she may be happier as a male so they gave her a new name and access to clothes while at school and most critically, told her not to tell her parents. Thankfully she had been told this is a red flag and did not comply.

> All transgender counselling starts with pre-existing condition consideration. As a trans friend of mine said "The first thing my transition counsellor asked me to do was quit my job. We needed to make sure I wasn't just depressed because I hated my job so much"

Ouch, that's bad counseling. Asking patients to make major upheavals just sets them up for failure. The proper aim is to give them tools to achieve their goals without disruption and a therapist should only recommend immediate large changes if a patient is in imminent risk.

Also, I know more personally that proper counseling is not always applied. My friend's daughter had legitimate reasons to be depressed but says that the counsellor they had her see did not examine any of them or ask about abuse and only discussed gender.

> Is my claim about low rates of transition regret incorrect, or is it that my comparison is exceptionally misleading? Which is it?

It's both. The studies you refer to do not actually show that the numbers are low because they fail to properly follow the transitioners, AND your comparison to knee surgery was misleading because you've cherrypicked one of the most regretted surgeries.

I don't think you can get too lazy by using chatGPT to help with coding. For simple stuff it usually gets it right and you can just copy-paste the code without thinking. Not that much different from just copy-pasting code from StackOverflow. Most IDEs can already auto-complete boilerplate code. chatGPT just does it better and faster.

But if it makes a mistake or you want a more complex program, you'll be forced to debug and learn how things actually work. It's also often confidently wrong in explanations, with errors and mistakes that are obvious to anyone who knows the subject well, or that don't hold up in the real world.

TL:DR; chatGPT is currently only useful for use-cases that should be automated anyway (simple programming tasks and boilerplate code), doing much more than that requires an understanding that chatGPT can't hand-wave away.
There is a difference between greed and plain uninformedness. Those that invested into crypto are clearly greedy, wanting to multiply their money without providing any value to the society.
I think another option should to determine if those that didn't respond to the questionary belong to a certain type of alumns, for example the type of person that don't participate in social activities, anyway is important to know that some part of the population is different from the rest.

In the past 1.5 years, either as part of a team or by myself, I have worked on...

- a multiplayer web VR platform with hundreds of challenging problems across the entire stack

- a AI-powered information engine and ontological system with layered insights

- a multi-platform realtime communications research engine

- a web3 Patreon clone & a web3 universal messaging system

- a decentralized identity management application

- a decentralized, self-managed, open source YouTube/TikTok clone

- three game development competitions

- a novel computer vision research project for a sports company

- a graph-based end-user programmable productivity suite

- Multiple prototypes for new social media platforms

- a collection of web-based precision tools like an archiver, URL shortener, etc.

- an AI-generated blog

- an AI-generated wiki & knowledge base

- a few more things I'd have to think about

I love what I do, I love waking up to code, I love going to sleep thinking about architectural problems. I love spending all day in a deep state of problem solving.

If you have a specific kind of creative programming in mind, I can help you look around for something more fulfilling.
I tried asking it some questions in German, and the answers read similar to auto-translated spam you often find on the internet. (If you look for stuff in German, a lot of results are often just auto-translated from English) So it seems it's already suffering from spam.

A thought just hit me: If AI researchers use text from the internet to train their auto-translators, and a lot of text on the internet is created with automatic translators, the translators will end up reinforcing their errors and develop a very distinct style, and since people read a lot of the autotranslated stuff, maybe people will also start writing in that style...
The catch is that Li-Ion rechargeable batteries have much higher self-discharge rate than alkaline AA/AAAs, so you could not use them in remote controls anyway.

For powering iPhones, you can buy a few 18650 with a type-C/lightning case from AliExpress, but most people will prefer just buying a powerbank.
You responded affirmatively to qwertox who is saying basically you can fix the issue by yourself. The issue at hand with the radwagon4, which is the topic, is the current tires are unsafe, which is why there is a recall and the tires are being destroyed. There is not a recall on the wheels, and there is no need to swap a wheel.

So I still have no idea what you're talking about. But I do have some idea that you're an absolute cock.

Here is the tree-sitter grammar of Elisp:

JavaScript evolved into a language of similar complexity as Perl 5 (the corresponding tree sitter syntax table counts almost 2000 lines, currently).
> As soon as you have more liquid in the pot you won't be able to control the temperature by measuring the temp at the bottom.

That sounds like an interesting engineering challenge! Assuming we have a stove with a fast-acting heat source (e.g. induction) and high-frequency thermometer (> 1 Hz), what can we learn about the contents of the pot/pan?

I'm thinking: dump a set amount of energy into the pan (say, 0.5 seconds at "power boost" level), then watch the thermometer. Do it several times, with varying pulse lengths (say, 0.1 to 1 second - you don't want to burn anything on the pan, nor wait too long for it to cool down). This should give you a good idea of the pan's step and impulse response, and - I think - you could guesstimate what its contents are - particularly, if there are any liquids in it, and what they are. Then, continue with normal cooking, but keep a continuous record of power output vs. temperature measurement, and possibly occasionally pause and do a round of such pulse tests again.

I see no obvious reason this wouldn't give a stove quite good control authority even in the presence of liquids, including those that are added or naturally seep out during cooking. I also don't expect any of the appliance companies to ever include this level of sophistication in their products.
Are we entering an era where it is common to see an AI get mistaken for a human?

This seems to imply that you could get most of the socially-desirable effects of piracy simply by instituting compulsory royalties for previously-published works that have since fallen out of print. As of today, most out of print works will simply never get republished and users who want to access them legally have to resort to substandard solutions such as the used market, or merely borrowing a legitimate copy of the work. (Until the work falls out of copyright protection altogether, and then it's fair game for free reproduction by anyone.) Fix this in a comprehensive way and you would create a lot of value.

Note that this was essentially Google Books' proposal, before they got forced into only showing tiny snippets of works to avoid copyright issues; it's not a new idea at all.

Wasps have such a bad reputation. We have had nests of yellow jackets (vespula germanica), paper wasps (polistes dominula), and hornets (vespa crabro) directly on our terrace, and I have been stung once in ten years and that was my fault.

There once was a nest of vespula germanica above the window of my study, a rather big nest that grew to a size of about 3000 or 4000 animals. The only thing I did about it was to close a hole in the wall, because a few of them kept coming inside. I sometimes went outside to watch the traffic at the entrance of the nest.

More fun facts: wasps eat mosquitos. Lots of them! And they pollinate plants. Adult wasps are vegetarians, when they hunt or steal a piece of your steak (I have seen that happen!), then they collect food for their larvae.

If you really want to get rid of wasps, use an essential oil (peppermint, lemon grass). Wasps communicate using pheromones and do not tolerate strong odor. Do not spray the nest, spray the area around the nest. You do not have to kill them.
The removal of Symantec was a bit questionable as well. There is reason for strictness here, but I don't think having used their certs a bit longer was a relevant security threat at all.

You might get an operation in a hospital and stay one night. They could tell you the cost of the bed, but what about the lab tests (which is another business unit). Then you've got nurses who might work across two different units. Then imaging which is another unit.

My friend who worked at a major hospital said it's a massive shit show. For simple out-patient procedures, they have the costs down pretty clean. But for in-patient stays, they often have no clue at all what the real costs are.
Years before, the typical (at the time very common at least here) Motorola MicroTac and later models:

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

had a battery which was the actual "back cover" (it was connected to the phone via sliding), and everyone had at least two batteries, there were all kind of slim to bulkier sizes.

Some of them (medium sized) simply contained 5 (Ni-Cd or Ni-Mh) AAA batteries.
You can argue if it decreases complexity or not - I think it's hard to judge until you use it regularly bc right now at first sight, for me at least, it has a strong unfamiliarity to it. It looks kinda long and complicated and doesn't play well with the threading macro (in comments this is discussed)

If it's a neat trick macro you use once every two months then you may never get used to it

But the fact that it yields a clear performance gain is a more objective "win".

It's not just stylistic at this point and I'm inclinded to give it a shot
Versions don't matter in GitHub actions; it takes "Tags" as the highest priority, which maintainers can update at will. Yes, they have to delete the tag first, but there's a UI button for that. Yes, anyone who's cloned the repo will receive a warning, but have you ever cloned an external GitHub actions repo?

Advice to use external GitHub actions, especially security actions, should pin to a sha instead.

In a similar vein to how it is now normal to give personal pronouns, even if you are he/she, we should normalise opsec when online dating, even if you feel it is not needed: if everyone mentions “can I check you are not a scammer and goes through a verification call”, and it is normal it wont be seen as rude or breaking the romance”.

Same should be done for a lot of interactions, such as hiring, employee to employee requests involving money, bank accounts or authorisation, and so on. With deep fakes and AI scamming will get more and more sophisticated and at scale.

Tell me you get your car info from Reddit without telling me you get your car info from Reddit. My eyes are rolling loops in my skull right now.

Ford's Pinto engine, GM's Iron Duke and Chrysler's 2.whateverIforgetthename are all generally considered highly reliable engines. The competition was good too, Honda's E engine, Subaru's EA and Toyotas <insert alphabet soup here> are also held in high regard. The 80s was a great time for 4-banger engines. When you encounter an unreliable one it's generally a problem to the tune of a specific external system on a specific model and year range.

The domestic's primary problem was they considered these small cars value priced economy cars and it showed in the fit and finish, ergonomics, available options and engineering quality all around, they were simply built to a price point in every way. So people preferred the generally nicer (and generally slightly more expensive) Japanese cars.
Non modal editors have a different type of danger. If you accidentally press a space at the beginning of a line in a Python file, you'll get an IndentationError when running it. If you press a d somewhere in any programming language you likely get a syntax error or a bad identifier.

Of course you have to save to file before those errors become real. Apparently Helix autosaves when losing focus, which is quite dangerous IMHO: accidental mistakes and code left unfinished when switching to another window to do anything. I prefer to save when I want to save.

Heya ^_^

Having read through all the other comments in my submission, your comment resonated with me the strongest.

I was also on dual monitor and desktop computer setup, but taking inspiration from your story, I transitioned my workflow to just working on my laptop, and dropped down to a single monitor.

It's been a complete game-changer for me in terms of convenience and portability. I just use multiple virtual desktops now and everything stays full-screened, so that when I plug/unplug from external monitor, nothing changes - identical workflow.

It feels so right!

Not sure if you'll still see this comment, but I just wanted to say thank you ^_^

First.

Hakeem [...] describes himself as a “gender critical psychiatrist”

Then the "sell"

Hakeem offers “specialist psychotherapy for gender dysphoria”, and says that he “does not try and persuade or dissuade anyone from pursuing physical sex interventions such as hormones or surgery but his role is to provide a neutral exploration space to think about sex and gender”.

Then the reality

“He made it clear from the very start that he was sceptical of my gender and expressed doubt that it could differ to [my] sex,”

So a great example of someone pathologizing trans people and not taking them seriously. I hope that was what you wanted to shed light on! Thanks!
