Curiosity really - been experimenting with it a lot over the weekend to see what it's good at, what it isn't, and its limitations. It's surprised me a number of times!

As it stands I'd pay about $100 a month for it. It's very good and largely accurate when it comes to established science. I'm studying for the MCAT and a good tutor would cost me around $60-100/hour.

ChatGPT has been excellent for learning - I explain a concept to it and tell it to correct me if I'm wrong, haven't seen any mistakes from it in my testing (around topics I know really well). When I'm having trouble understanding a concept in my studies, I can ask it questions and it tends to give really good answers. And of course, I try to verify that it isn't teaching me something that's wrong.

Hell, I even had a heated argument with it around how SSRIs affect 5-HT2a receptors and it pushed back against some of my assumptions in a way that made me question my understanding. No one in my personal life has the level of expertise to discuss these topics, I would need to talk to a researcher or professor, so having an (even imperfect) stand-in has been amazing.

I've been making up toxicology case studies and posing them to ChatGPT. It correctly figured out ciguatera in one (a rare disease most healthcare workers wouldn't be familiar with). I had to repeatedly add more details to another story to lead it to amnesic shellfish disease, but it did reasonably well once I gave it enough detailed information.
The choice of what CA certificates to "trust" should, optionally, in some circumstances, be the computer owner's decision. For example, when the issue with TrustCor was made public, Android users could disable the TrustCor certificates. Whether that actually works, I cannot say. The certificates are probably still there, not removed, not deleted. Same goes for disabling certificates within the browser. This is likely an illusion of owner control. That a system of "trust" is provided by a company that many do not trust is comical by any objective measure.

Personally I rely on a TLS forward proxy that uses the certificates in /etc/ssl/certs, as represented by ca-certificates.srt. Thus, I can remove certificates, regenerate ca-certificates.crt and effectively deny certificates that the advertising-supported browser company chooses to accept.

Web browsers from advertising companies, or organisations that subsist from advertising company profits, like Mozilla, ignore /etc/ssl/certs. They do not allow computer owners to remove and delete CA certificates. They refuse to allow the computer owner to add their own choices for CA certficates, e.g., certificates generated by the owners themselves, without forcing annoyances on the owner to try to discourage such owner control.

The "CA system" should be accountable to computer users, not advertising companies, or organisations that depend on advertising company profits, not "tech" companies. As it stands, computer users are locked out of the decision-making process with respect to CA certificates. The CA system has become a tool of "tech" companies that seek to commercialise every aspect of the internet. The fact is, much of the data "protected" by TLS is data belonging to or about computer users that is being sent to "tech" companies without the user's informed consent. In effect, TLS is used to stop the computer owner from seeing what data is leaving their computers and networks.

We need a CA system that is governed by computer users, not "tech" companies. All computer owners should not be discouraged from trusting themselves. The CA certificates computer owners generate should not be discriminated against in favour of ones approved by "tech" companies. Someone is no doubt going to reply to this with something about LetsEncrypt. But that is not letting users trust themselves. It requires users to rent domain names and ask to be trusted by LE. It is part of the existing CA system where users must (cf. may) let third parties decide who is trustworthy.

There have been people living where Phoenix sits today for at least 1,500 years. The canals in Phoenix were originally dug by the Hohokam 1,400+ years ago. Dutch settlers used what remained to design the canal system that's used today. Here's a cool article that describes some of what they built http://www.azheritagewaters.nau.edu/loc_hohokam.html
I've got a recumbent bike that I added electric to. I had to redo the setup though because I initially built it with a hub motor which made hill climbing still be a bit of a bitch so I rebuilt it with a middrive motor.
The question cannot be answered.
What does 'best' mean?
The statistical most profound?
The cheapest for the university?
The optimized combination of both?
...
And no, assuming that the 'best' is clearly defined, because it is a statistics test, is not valid.

Apart from this, the statistical best method is to include 'did not respond' in the model, as (an)other commenter(s) has (have) already mentioned. Bayes rules, btw!

Reselecting 130 students is not different from going with the 90, if the not-/responding is a confounding variable, as you just select more from the responder group.
> All rises in incidents of transgenderism are easily explained by a more tolerant society accepting it. The same appeared when we stopped.

Explained (aka semi-solid empirical experiments - where are those?) or imagined (aka ideological beliefs, much like the right)?

> And by and large, with some exceptions that get consistently magnified by those with an agenda, it is not something you can just do on a whim, and generally requires a lot of counselling and a lot of effort to pursue hormonal or surgical changes.

And yet every other week I see a talkshow on public TV discussing this. Prominently hosting a person that thinks the rules in place are faaaar to rigid, while most sane people would agree they are fine and problems lie in other areas. For example, while I agree that in many cases physiological "modifications" might be the most economic solution putting this solely to the purview of the individual might a) incur follow-up costs on society (here, these things are not self-paid) and b) raises the question why we don't amputate the legs of those who think they have one too many. The latter thing is something, which I would really like explained once by someone.
They had a full report from the urgent care clinic including x-ray and blood test results. They added precisely zero value. It was a completely inexcusable failure of triage, solely to extract money. I paid the $200 or so on-site, and even that is not defensible IMO.
That paper is not careful about the meaning of the used words and it does not discuss any of the difficult parts.

"Concrete" normally refers to rocks that are bound with cement, without having to use high temperature and/or pressure.

The paper does not explain how such a cement could be made from lunar rocks.

The Portland cement and most other usual cements, which are used on Earth, require water, which is not available in most places on the Moon.

What could be done is to extract the calcium oxide (quicklime), or other similar oxides, e.g. magnesia or yttria, from the lunar rocks.

Without water, these oxides cannot be used to make cement, i.e. a binder that becomes solid without applying high temperature or pressure, but due to chemical reactions at low temperature.

Nevertheless, these oxides can be used as binders in making ceramics, by sintering at a high temperature and moderate pressure, like making bricks on Earth.

Thus one can make ceramics or glass on the Moon, which should be the cheapest materials, but not cement or concrete. There is no chance of making a building by pouring concrete, like on Earth. It should be possible to make a building from bricks, which might have shapes holding them together, but which must also use some metal parts, e.g. bolts or rivets, to ensure that they stay in place, in the absence of cement that could be applied like on Earth.

It might be possible to seal the spaces between ceramic bricks with some kind of easily fusible glass, to make them airtight.
No, why do you think people buy lifted pickup trucks?
What if they do in fact have a Y chromosome, but their body fails to respond to it? Then they will grow up as if they were females.

Also, due to chimerism (I guess that’s what you are getting at with your last two sentences) even genetic sex-determination is only probabilistic — they try to find several Y chromosomes to identify someone’s sex as male.
You can pay for it with many types of crypto. Not sure why you'd say this without checking first.
The only thing that changes is that instead of your time being distributed like this when you build something:

> [PLANNING] [SPECS] [IMPLEMENTATION] [TESTS]

The "implementation" and "tests" sections become much less time-consuming/tedious, and you focus more on the design, architecture, and specification of the code.

When you think about, the implementation is a detail and a means to an end. For instance, I hop around between a lot of languages.

I can't always remember what the HashMap API is exactly in every language. Is it "put", "insert", "create"? -- does it have an "upsert" method? These sorts of details just bog you down. With AI-assisted development, you just "I want to upsert an item in a HashMap of (String -> Int)" and then browse the suggestions until something looks right.

Sort of like a "Code Architect" role.

I've been using Github Copilot every day for 1.5 years, I can't live without it. ChatGPT is quite an advancement, and I'm so excited for the future of the AI-assisted code authoring space.

It's a bit fuzzier. The popular model prior to Childe was Lewis Morgan's three stage Savagery->Barbarism->Civilization model. When Childe published his famous paper [1] laying out the criteria, he acknowledged Morgan (though I'm not sure it's cited in the paper itself) and was intentionally providing standardized criteria to recognize the last stage. Childe himself preferred the terminology of "city" and later archaeologists adopted the phrase "state", but really these are all the same broad concept with slightly different connotations.

But aside from a few exceptions (people at USYD, Michael Smith), Childe's definitions are increasingly disagreeable to archaeologists. Most of the newer generations, myself included, find anti-evolutionist arguments significantly more persuasive and even those that don't aren't big fans of the original formulation of Childe's ideas.

This is a good place to start - https://omny.fm/shows/revisionist-history/from-inside-voice-...

Lake Bell asks the person to speak in their highest note and then their lowest note and then yodel for a couple of times. Then to asks her to just speak, and the voice that comes out much closer to what we associate with a 'normal' woman's voice.

I guess having to manually change tone to such extremes resets the body's ability to recover this incredibly specific learnt behavior, and the person momentarily reverts to a clean sample of their own voice.

I was surprised to see this newsletter on HN, and even more surprised that no one else was commenting on it's bizarre style. I heard about it a few weeks ago on Twitter. Then there was a NYT article about it (https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/10/style/inventing-a-new-lan...).

I also didn't really get it at first. And I think it's mainly about fashion, which I'm not really interested in.

But I subscribed just to get follow along and get some diversity of ideas. The writing reminded me of A Clockwork Orange.
I disagree with your interpretation of ceronman's experiment and the premise that we're already conducting it.

I believe they were making the case that Employees need the company as much as the company needs the employees. The experiment is to split the profits evenly amongst those who created the value in the first place - The people that work inside the company. If they can't produce the value, get rid of them (And if that's the case there's more profit for everyone right?)

They could also mean that the profits are distributed amongst the employees based on individual contribution when they conclude that there wouldn't be any self-made billionaires because no single individual produces that much value.

I still disagree with the conflation of wages/cost of business and profits, even though more mages means less profit - Profit is still surplus after all has been paid. The distinction is important for more than just the scope of this conversation.

I've been half-heartedly looking for a new job since Jan 2022, at which time I left my last employer by choice.

I've interviewed with ~20 companies this year, usually with folks that reach out to me from the 'Who Wants to be Hired' thread. I've received three pretty decent offers (200-250k base + equity) all at small, early-stage companies. From what I've observed this year, companies that are doing difficult or low-level work are still as starved as ever for senior/staff/architect-level folks that can deliver, and are happily willing to hire them. Probably irrespective of company size, but I pretty much exclusively look for teams of ~5-20 people.

One material effect I've noticed from the downturn is I've gotten a lot less emails from recruiters advertising positions that are at companies with BS products, or that have clearly nothing to do with my skillset.

My bio: I've got ~10 years professional programming experience and consider myself a generalist. Typical projects I look for include graphics programming, language runtimes, compilers, data streaming.. low-ish level stuff that's usually pretty technical.

Anyway, since someone asked, that's my 2c :)

If this is how you're going to respond to very specific questions that provide evidence, you can't complain if nobody believes you.
The individual will end up overpaying on social security and underpaying on most other taxes. When they file their taxes for the year, they will most likely owe some additional money to the government. As long as they pay it promptly, I don't think the IRS will have any issues with the situation.

They can also request that the employer withhold additional taxes; this is fairly common because of situations where both spouses work.

They likely have two healthcare plans, but that's generally not an issue - again, it's fairly common if both spouses are employed.

For the 401K, the individual will just have to make sure that their total contributions between both companies are under the federal limit.

If your secure hardware doesn’t have a display, how do you know what you’re signing?

You can’t, so you’re forced to trust that the software talking to the HSM isn’t lying to you about what data it’s asking to be signed, and at that point you’re only marginally more secure than not using an HSM at all. (Sure, it’s harder to steal the long-term key material, but if I compromise your software, I get a signing oracle, and that might be good enough.)

This is actually something that the blockchain ecosystem gets right: every hardware wallet has a secure display of some kind, to avoid blind signing, because it’s a context where security actually matters (unlike, e.g., “signing git commits with a yubikey”, which nobody cares enough about to attack).

Worst advice.
Markov chains are actually not a bad comparison from what i can see as an utter layman. At a high level seems like the difference between transformer-models and markov chains is that instead of the next token being determined purely based on n-gram frequencies on the training corpus, you have the attention mechanism so in some sense it has access to the entire previous context as well as some latent space of learned embeddings. But at the end of the day it still is just a fancy way to predict the next token, so that's why it's surprising you get all this neat behavior.

I doubt that you can make an absolute "this is false and ageist" statement in any context, but here on HN, I would have at least expected you to supply information on what location in the world and level of institutional schooling you have.

Here in north-west EU C and C++ haven't been a part of the core curriculum for over 25 years (unless you do embedded work), and code with side-effects in desktop-class systems has been frowned upon for nearly as long due to the need for more cookie-cutter engineers to fill positions and write code that might still be OOP but has to be almost as side-effect free as functional code.

Basic/core languages are still (last time I checked when doing guest lectures ~ 6mo ago) Java, C#, Python and the mixed bag that is web languages.

This is also influenced by the core program required to be an accredited institution and the large amount of consultancies people end up working at straight out of college/school/uni. This even still happens in infrastructure-centric programs where you do lean a bit about TCP/IP and OSI layers, but then essentially get dumped into Juniper/Cisco/vmware/microsoft school which almost always gets them vendor-locked and unaware of the actual concepts and abstractions they implement.

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.
