Chat GPT on Steroids
Working no this crazy project which is like Chat GPT on steroids.

So what we did is - built our own algorithm similar to Chat GPT and then connected with several search engines.

And now - it is crazy. This is what I found the app can do -

1. Normal internet searches.
2. Virtual private assistant.
3. Can write work emails.
4. Write code snippets.
5. Ask continuous questions and answers like human.
6. Also has a memory block, if you come back after sometime and ask "what were we discussing?" - it recalls the previous conversation.

Would love to get your feedbacks.

Give it a try - www.accintia.com
Web development is not really going well (imho), but desktop I find good enough to at least prototype with. Wether I can make my mind up if I like Dart or not, Flutter really feels right to me.
I'm going to reflect on my faith to think about this (and, before you immediately skip, maybe hear my logic).

One of the most fundamental teachings of any religion is that we are a composite being of both a body and a soul. We have both a physical essence, and a spiritual essence, of what we are. Your daughter cannot be quantified by her body alone, as that ignores the wonders of her mind.

Many of the issues I see with the "frictionless" society (where everything gets more convenient but less satisfying) is that there is an increased focus on only one or the other - but not both. Bitcoin has a spiritual essence (as does paying with, say, a credit card), but no real "body" representing its worth. ChatGPT as well could be viewed as having a spiritual value, but no physical "body" representing it. Physical media (CDs, DVDs) are, in my view, ideal as a media distribution method because they are a body, and a soul, together. Why is an eBook so much less satisfying than a real book? Conversely, why are blank pages with ink smudged all over so much less satisfying than a book that's well-written? Why as an original console much more interesting and nostalgic at parties than an emulator?

It's just a thought on one potential reason for this. The best things, it appears, are a composite of both physical and spiritual realities; and something is missing when one or the other is lacking.
So the whole 5 year process with thousands of human years of effort boiled down to: We’ll use some cloud.

Fascinating.
The hope was that more of the interactions would be ones that uniquely benefit from live chat. We found instead that it was just shifting our existing conversations from email to chat, typically with no benefit.
I can totally understand this perspective; we're social animals.

But I'm also mindful that the reverse has applied to a lot of people both throughout history and the present day, who had to be away from their families for work. Or situations where a couple have to choose who gives up their career in order to live in the same place. Or people jammed into overcrowded apartments because that's all they can afford in order to get to where the work is.

No easy answers, but the people who say remote work has been liberatory for them aren't lying.

(I'm grateful that I can have a partial-wfh experience where I go into the office two days a week, I think that's a compromise that works for me. I like being in the office, it's a nice office, I just don't like commuting.)
Take the data point for what it's worth (ie, not much). I have never found these chat popovers useful, I have always found them obstructive, and I have always been seething with resentment when forced to use one for an interaction with a company. It's just slightly less painful than being forced to use ye olde telephone, and I will only use live chat if that is the only other option. Most likely, I will simply give up and use a competitor instead.

In any chat I am forced to use, I guarantee I will do my absolute best to radicalize the chat employee against your company and try to convince them to get a different job, or quietly and safely sabotage their employer if they cannot leave. I will make the interaction take as long as possible while doing this, in an effort to drive up costs as much as possible.

I am not alone.
I'd agree that something was purchased for $20000, but what? My assumption is a license to redistribute the poem as part of the game. This guy is probably correct that he did not agree to an NDA, or transferal of exclusive rights.

That's why I think MS did not need to pay him off; they thought they had a license, even if they didn't own the IP. And that's also why it's totally legit for him to republish his own work under a free license.
Just got laid off early December after celebrating my 34th birthday. They had nothing wrong to say about my performance. They said i was a good leader, a performer, a hardworker. Not sure what went wrong but i guess they never had a good reason either. Well here i am, still looking for a PM gig. If anyone can point me in the right direction, here's my linkedin:https://www.linkedin.com/in/eileen-anzabwa-41b34b144/ and a link to my CV: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1wav2woivdifgw2QyZpYyyUFKAhJ...
Wait, what's wrong with that?
I've never had issues with tabs in Makefiles, but I admit it's a bad design and wonder why it hasn't been corrected in all these years. It's not like there hasn't been time to plan a path towards a better design in steps: first introduce a new way to do things still supporting the old way, then start sending warnings when the old one is used, then require an explicit opt-in to support the old syntax, finally only accept the new one.
The "ending" of minecraft is just the point at which you have access to the entire game.

You probably know what The Nether is, that hellish looking place you access by making a portal. Reaching The Nether is progress, by getting there you get access to stuff you didn't have before, sure you can do whatever you feel like in Minecraft, but by getting there you can do more stuff than before because you have access to more stuff.

By defeating the Ender Dragon you are free to roam The End (which is the name of the whole place) and thus you finally gain access to everything the game has to offer.
Or precisely the exact same thing. I take this as their final act to bring closure.
Why doesn't this link to the main website? GitHub is not a blogging platform and this is a mess to read.
It is misleading to point to sysvinit failures while arguing in favour of systemd, because the latter is not the only alternative to the former.

As for the calling all opponents of systemd "incompetent",
this is just plain bad faith.
A sedentary lifestyle likely contributes to this heavily. You can be in the best physical shape and still live a very sedentary lifestyle. I think Nietzsche said something along this line of any idea that comes from movement are those that have actual value. Up to your interpretation of movement here though.
Can ChatGPT Code? Here's a simple example.
I assume GitHub Enterprise Server would also meet the requirements for being entirely on-premise and not uploading data to the clouds?
People still use PHP? Let this horrible language die already. It's banned internally at AMZN for a reason
Sales receipts, tax records (just off the top of my head) seem like good use cases for centralized blockchains.
A Pretty Paul Graham Blog
My intuition is that the huge iconic ones in globally significant metro areas probably receive closest to an adequate amount of attention and maintenance.

I'm much more worried about like, a random 40 foot bridge outside of the second largest suburb of the third largest city in a southern state or whatever. A short fall into icy water or just getting bonked by a piece of the falling bridge at the bottom is less dramatic but you'd be just as dead. And I'm pretty sure those bridges haven't seen an attentive engineer since whenever they were finished.
Isn't this more likely to be Reason #1?
The key concept here for me is pattern recognition. It lines up with my experience when trying to practice creativity.

For example, for decades it has been my opinion that my own supposedly higher than average pattern matching skills were the main thing I brought to the table at work.

When I play drums, keys, or guitar, coming up with new patterns and styles to play feels magical when it happens in real-time, but if I break it down later, I almost always see the influences.
Here's the tl;dr:

* The best blog posts are narrowly scoped and focused on a single point

* Trying to do too much in a blog post can distract from the main point and weaken the argument

* Having a clear, well-defined main point improves the clarity and persuasiveness of your writing

* It also increases the shareability and reference-ability of your piece

* Respect your readers' time by making the main point clear upfront

* There are exceptions to this rule, such as educational pieces or literary works
Interesting, it seem to work most of the time using texts I've generated before. Any idea how it works? I can't seem to find a blog post.
Negative Sentences as Mathematical Proofs
In my mind, the problem is many of the ads normalize poor behavior that isn't obvious to a new consumer. Sure, few people are going to buy an Oru and head out in snowy, icy weather. But, in the PNW, the water temp can be dangerous all year - clear sunny and 80* air with 50* water temps. And conditions in open water can change rapidly.
I've always figured the easy way to improve adoption rates is to build in a statistical failure to ipv4 stacks; add a kernel option to drop 0.1% of ipv4 packets, or add a 250ms delay to ipv4 packets, and adoption of ipv6 will skyrocket without significantly impacting existing workloads because v4 will still work 99.9% of the time.
It's not only culture, it's also mutually beneficial, the cost of maintaining a forked version of the kernel is not worth it. Meanwhile working on a patch and publishing it upstream is relatively easy "fire-and-forget", the patch is there, other people will use it and contribute back.

Companies still have a ton of private code that never makes its way into the open source world.
Translation: railroad tracks in Germany will be subject to speed restrictions or closures while the the company Deutsche Bahn (DB) replaces flawed concrete "sleepers", also known was railroad ties, crossties, railway ties.

I've found that it's worth quoting people you talk with on this forum
my dad was a reference librarian and when the WWW first showed up, I tried both gopher and WWW, and concluded the former had no future. My dad was trying to explain that gopher was better. That's when I realized an important transition to my generation had occurred.
I've tried to use AoC and Project Euler to learn k, but I've given up in the past because there are multiple versions of k interpreters & tutorials out there with subtly different language behavior. And running code from one version of the language in another interpreter results in obscure errors or crashes.

It would be nice if this repo specified the exact binaries used so that the results would be reproducible.
I don’t buy that null is a billion dollar mistake.

Just because some dude with a fancy name said so doesn’t mean it’s true.

In particular, how many dollars does it cost to have null safety, and how many more does it cost to use it? I feel like folks quoting Hoare never even bother asking this question.
The US already got there in the 30s. Government subsidies are what disincentivized overproduction and got the US out along with better soil preservation techniques.

Modern farms are moving to no-till and cover crop practices to protect the soil. Fertilizer isn't as expensive as you think - ammonia and lime are pretty abundant, coupled with good old manure spreading and crop rotation, you can manage the soil pretty well.

The Midwest corn belt is in Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio. This area largely doesn't need irrigation. That mostly occurs west of the Missouri where wheat is slightly more prevalent due to corn's irrigation needs.

Source - I grew up on, and farmed myself on, a Midwest Iowa farm, and worked on the largest real-time data analytics pipeline in the agricultural industry for almost six years, my father still farms, and I ran an agritech startup building an autonomous applicator for 5 years.

Our real problems are distribution and storage, exports, chemical runoff, new crop diseases and climate change with more prevalent droughts and floods likely in the future. But we're in no danger of another dust bowl or sudden yield collapse. Yields today are nearly double what they were when I was a kid in the 80s.

More farmers need to plant cover crops and no-till and use set-aside land for soil preservation, but the good ones are already doing this, and profiting. Agronomists and university extension offices are educating farmers about this.

Agricultural states aren't poor - Indiana, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Missouri and Iowa are 19, 20, 21, 22, and 31 in state GDP rankings. My State's median income is $61,000 / year and the average household income is $85,000 / year.

The cited documentary and this meta-thread seem to have some biases and/conflate Great Plains states with Midwestern states.
The latter. I make something like 750k a year, people in my income range can afford more and still live very comfortably.
presses star button, never read it again
> However, with an extensive email chain explaining the story was written as the ending of Minecraft, even going into detail about how it was to be displayed in game, an agreed upon offer (if a bit vague), and then an exchange of funds - with no immediate attempt to return said funds. I'm no lawyer, but that sounds a lot like a legally binding agreement.

It sounds like an awful, muddy mess that would take a great deal of time and money to litigate if the author decided to take that path. Without an explicit contract, even determining which court (and which nation) has jurisdiction for this kind of international transaction sounds like a nightmare.

I agree that in most jurisdictions I have any familiarity with, some kind of contract likely exists for usage of the text, but that is a fundamentally different question from ownership of the text. And I imagine that the text has subsequently been used by Mojang and Microsoft for other purposes, which may or may not be found to be covered by the original agreement.

In short, it's exactly the kind of ambiguity that big corporations hate when it comes to intellectual property.
The problem in this case is deeper. The Linux kernel overcommits memory.

OOMD is a workaround for this behaviour.

And it can't be disabled. I disabled the kernel memory overcommit and then neither Chrome nor Edge were running.

I can't use my computer without my browser of choice. Therefore, overcommit can't be disabled.
Security theater and political posturing. I hear that tune playing every time I fly in the US.

You should learn a bit about v6 before criticizing it for not doing things that it is doing. You're basically reinventing 6to4.

> Also, oh yes please give me more fucking ports. IPv6 keeping the same number of ports is stupid.

IP doesn't have ports.
Personally i always opposed new projects like this, since we already have a big devops stack that is taking much manpower to operate and kept running reliably. So, yes, the rugpull is not in the interest of my company, but it is in my interest because i will have less operational responsibility.
One of the best passages in Foucault's Pendulum is when the main character wanders Paris and describes the tour as a "foul metal spider", "Lone suppository, hollow obelisk, Magnificat of wire, apotheosis of the battery, aerial altar of an idolatrous cult, bee in the heart of the rose of the winds, piteous ruin, hideous night-colored colossus, misshapen emblem of useless strength...". It goes on for quite a while. Mind you, the character is half insane and entirely paranoid at that point. It's quite a fun monologue.

Making a short story with ChatGPT and Anythingv3
The problem, I think, is that only the people who don't like reading this leave comments.

So here I am, commenting that I feel exactly the same way as you. This is the reason I went back to the office

I used to think I was someone who did NOT like the light social interactions in the office. After the pandemic lockdowns I thought I'd continue working from home. After six months of that I realized that I did enjoy the office.

Turns out I don't like small talk, but I like having a small group of people I can bond with over a meal or whatever. Its a lighter interaction. It's still professional, but it helps me.

And before anyone asks I do have that outside of office. That wasn't enough for me.

It would help if they clarified his role. So far all he's done is brag about his history of using his new employer's product to create surveillance devices. Absent any details, it's reasonable to assume he was hired for this experience in the lead up to seeking a goldmine many companies aim for: law enforcement contracts.
Really interesting story... but I think the age old adage of "as long as I'm happy" should apply here.

$20k for what amounts to a short story is an insanely good and fair price, compared to the market rate. I know he says he negotiated badly but I don't know how much more he could have obtained, as $20k _is_ a great sale. It does suck to see Minecraft later get sold for billions and "only" have your $20k but I have a feeling (and he basically admits) he was happy with the $20k at the time.
And what is wrong with this exactly? Are you concerned that this guy is going to survey people without anyone's knowledge? Are you that paranoid?
I don't think Heisenberg was necessarily a narrow specialist, trained for just one job. He was one of the inventors of a whole new theory of mechanics.

If you're considering straight nftables, do straight nftables. The syntax isn't bad for editing/reading directly. The userspace tool has quirks but you'll get the hang of it. I run my config through a templating engine (the same ruleset goes to cloud VMs etc).

My main router is virtualized on a Ryzen 5600G that also does other tasks. I have two other wifi APs that are just low power x86 boxes that also run Kodi.

Getting back to the original topic, I've still got Mikrotik for switches. The hardware is decent, the software is janky. I've got three different flavors of config - SwOS, RouterOS, and old RouterOS that requires a different type of config because the older switch chips were never updated to the newer config commands.

Mikrotik continues to hold their software too tightly instead of making the transition to a hardware company. They've built so much routing functionality, that's just pointless on devices that are switches. Yet there is some switch functionality that isn't available on SwOS. And SwOS is web-only with a binary config backup, rather than something conducive to centralized administration.

I'd love to find some low power white box 1Gb+10Gb switches that could run straight open Linux, or even using my existing Mikrotik switches that way if someone were to forcibly open their the environment.

People will always be reckless and I understand where this guy is coming from. I'm not surprised at all though. Why would he think a hip new company would be pushing safety over just having fun? New companies pushing boundaries have almost never been focused on safety.

Safety is extremely important and cold water kills, a lot. American Whitewater does a great job keeping track and you can see their stats here: https://www.americanwhitewater.org/content/Accident/view/

No PFD is number 2 and I'm pretty sure a large portion of that flush drowning number can be partially attributed to cold.

It does meet these requirements, by force. The network topology does not allow our on-premise instance to phone home.
I don't disagree with you at all, but there is a risk to that balancing act: some of those attempting the balancing act nevertheless end up getting punished by the tribe in very real ways. I think this is a significant pattern undermining some inferences prone to survivorship bias. Even when you're trying to balance these considerations, a certain amount of outcome from that is unpredictable.
Victory Apple Commits to Encrypting iCloud, Drops Phone-Scanning Plans
Both of those statements are wrong. It provides benefits to the user and it's no more of a security vulnerability than having any other networking protocol is.

If anything, v4 is more of a vulnerability because it's so easy to scan and because NAT increases the complexity enough that most people don't understand how their networks work.
It is no Q, but I really like Wolfram Language for its expressive power. Look for example at this solution[1] for problem 8 - highlights the fact that Parts 1 and 2 are essentially the same.

Egui 0.20 Released
egui is an easy-to-use immediate mode GUI for Rust, and I just released 0.20. It's a big release!

There is now support for AccessKit (https://github.com/AccessKit/accesskit) which brings accessibility to egui (a first for an immediate mode GUI?).

There is also better table support, nicer keyboard shortcut handling, better looking text in light mode (still not great, but better).

See more in the changelog: https://github.com/emilk/egui/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md
