So, you think businesses should move away from the largest single-point concentrations of customers and workers? Something like 20% of all the humans in USA are represented by those two little acronyms NY and CA.

'easy to do business' isn't just about regulations. It's often about fishing where fish are.

Tangentially related to differences in regulation between states, but interestingly Oklahoma has a nearly ironclad ban on noncompete agreements for workers. Has some fascinating effects for attracting skilled labor there. I know welders, mechanics, electricians, etc based in OK that are at the top of their game nationally and earn mind blowing salaries hopping from contract to contract, like sports players. Usually unionized as well, so reasonable work-life balance to boot.

Doesn't help you now but in case anyone else is thinking of getting into book collecting, a great start is A New Introduction to Bibliography by Philip Gaskell. It goes over centuries of the techniques and technologies used by printers which helps a lot with spotting fakes. It goes over fonts, paper, pigments, and so on. Lots of other little things to look for like paper weight and smell (the breakdown of lignin which smells faintly of vanilla)

A $20 WiFi microscope off Amazon that works with iOS and a cheap LED light source works wonders. I have a collection of cheap old books no one wants from a bunch of publishers across the time period I work most with as a control.

Note though that nothing stops someone from printing on old stock - printing presses are very simple tech that's easy to utilize for high value forgeries. That's where it can get really dicey and you have to start doing destructive chemical analysis on the pigments.

The difference here is that our “cameras” are processed in ways we really don’t understand and at speeds we can’t seem to compete with yet (at least not with the quality of processing we have, so far).

Our sight is also enhanced by our hearing or familiarity with certain driving situations and, in most cases, familiarity with certain places we drive frequently.

If we isolated our eyes from our other senses I have a feeling we might actually be much worse at detecting things around us or making sense of what we’re seeing.

Our senses like road feel can even help us use our eyes in anticipation of dangerous conditions like loose gravel or black ice.

I know machines can do this too, but ours works so well and so quickly; it’s hard to compare with what’s on the market at the moment.

Regardless, I think we agree on the final point. Such a strange way to limit a self driving car.
I...did say that it doesn't have a full semantic understanding of your code. Copilot uses tree-sitter under the covers to be able to figure out several things that you can get by analyzing syntax alone, which is actually quite far. It lets you identify what kinds of declarations (e.g., a type) and what kind of expressions (e.g., pattern matching on that type) exist, provided there's a grammar for it, and then lets that influence the suggested code. This isn't perfect because indeed, you need a full language service to actually understand things, especially in resolving ambiguities in symbols (like shadowing in some languages), but, like I said...it's good enough.
I dont think a single person (in this case, the president) suggesting some changes constitutes a DoS.

I meant more like using ways in which citizens can communicate with their government, and doing this through auto-generated texts which might seem like they're saying something, but are actually quite empty in their content. It'd be damn near impossible to (automatically) determine if some text contained some actual valid message vs the stochastic parroting that LLMs do.
This is like the ultimate form of Unimpressed Internet Guy.

The article even talks about other trials also underway, so the parent comment doesn't even make any sense:

> Dr Robert Chiesa, from the bone-marrow transplant department at Great Ormond Street Hospital, said: "It is extremely exciting. Obviously, this is a new field in medicine and it's fascinating that we can redirect the immune system to fight cancer."

> The technology, though, only scratches the surface of what base editing could achieve.

> Dr David Liu, one of the inventors of base editing at the Broad Institute, told me it was "a bit surreal" that people were being treated just six years after the technology was invented.

> In Alyssa's therapy, each of the base edits involved breaking a section of genetic code so it no longer worked. But there are more nuanced applications where instead of switching an instruction off you can fix a defective one. Sickle-cell anaemia, for example, is caused by just one base change that could be corrected.

> So there are already trials of base editing under way in sickle-cell disease, as well as high cholesterol that runs in families and the blood disorder beta-thalassemia.

Well, that's a laser printer, which is very different from an inkjet. I haven't owned a printer in a long time, because I don't need to print often enough for it to be worth the hassle and cost, but the last time I looked into it (which was also years ago), brother inkjets were maybe a little better than other brands, but not by a lot, and that is a low bar.

The problem with laser printers is that they have a much higher upfront cost, especially if you actually need color. Sure, they are probably worth it in the long run, but that bigger price tag stops a lot of people from getting one.
Ah, but in fact it does. Code and poetry seem different to people but tokens are tokens to the computer, and it knows not one from the other.

The reason you get a poetry-style answer when you ask for one is that the mix of words and styles can be taken from different parts of the corpus. This is how you can have it write (bad) poetry about something for which only prose was scanned.

Are you sure about that? I did some research, and Harvard's rights are indeed written into Massachusetts' constitution:

What this misses — and every other article I’ve seen about naming misses — is that the truly hard part of good naming is none is the stuff that was mentioned.

The hard part is this: taking the deserved level of care with naming often has to be done in a context with other humans who wrongly think that it’s simply not that big a deal, and their annoyance with having it brought up becomes an often unspoken source of friction. This not only leads to rancor but also has a chilling effect.

Even making the unspoken spoken often doesn’t help. The response will be like: oh yeah, choose some good names for us, knock yourself out, it’s great that somebody cares (but let’s not stop calling the timestamp a counter, or the database temmp_v3_old_Udpate_RstdnewV2, because reasons).

It can depend on the team, but in my experience successfully getting past these issues is usually way harder than any of the other factors mentioned.

DSLR market has pretty much stopped (rarely any new DSLR camera is released) as everyone shifted to mirrorless cameras. Camera manufacturers mostly added HEIF (Canon, Sony, Fuji) as the non-RAW image format, because they already have HEVC for video.

Camera with a lossy / lossless 12-bit, 14-bit JPEG XL would definitely be interesting for many photographers. Not everyone wants to be forced to do a complete post-processing with RAW. JPEG is to limited (8-bit only) and HEIF isn't much better, while not having much support (especially on the web) because of the patent situation.

> why not just get a good primary care doctor and a therapist? There advice and coaching will be foundational rather than superficial. Good physical and mental health along with emotional control and self-confidence will lay a strong foundation.

I've had these and they were more or less okay but they're just baseline things anyone should consider. Unless you've got a very niche (and definitely out of network) therapist, they're not going to really do anything to achieve any professional goals. Personal goals is a toss up. If you have some serious personal hangups - they can sometimes help. But, therapy isn't a panacea. It doesn't always work - regardless of how much we try to act like it will cure cancer if you just have a positive attitude.

A trainer is also worthless unless you know what you're training for. Are you training for a marathon? Power lifting? Tennis? Body building?

An image consultant is more holistic. There's enough context for people in the know about this.
Partly I'm sharing war stories because that's a fun thing to do, I'm not being entirely serious. Partly it's that you said that wasn't your experience of reality, so I broke off a little piece of mine and offered it to you. I'd suggest we're both generalizing, and as long as it's not taken too seriously, that's fine; it's how shop talk works.

I don't know the nature of the applications you've been working on those last 10 years, but it was more or less the main database for a high bandwidth, low latency service I was working on, also using Elasticache.

Problem spaces vary. If you're using it as a cache with modest load and consistency requirements, maybe you never need to understand it. But those sorts of requirements often creep & change out from under you.

So if you're saying, Elasticache did a good job of abstracting Redis, sure, I agree. If you're saying, there is no additional cognitive load to adopting a new service in your data path, because you don't even need to understand it - that puts a shiver up my spine, and makes me hear Pagerduty alerts in my head.
Yes, Copilot has the advantage that programming language syntax is highly constrained and regularized, allowing it to slot-in your own variable names and functions into new code as you write it. This is the best feature of Copilot. It's not part of ChatGPT because that's not meant for writing code. And I wouldn't call it "understanding." But, it is useful.
Nice, glad to hear you're enjoying it, maybe I'll look into one myself.

Great to see medical techniques slowly starting to resemble engineering design:

1. Donor T-cells added with receptors to destroy the recipient's cancerous T-cells.

2. Donor T-cells' markers removed to prevent them from attacking each other.

3. Donor T-cells' existing receptors removed to prevent them from attacking the recipient's other cells (since the donor T-cell will see them as 'foreign').

4. Donor T-cells altered to resist chemotherapy.

It seems each of these changes were achieved by editing specific base pairs to break the relevant gene, except perhaps for (1)

Not to take away from your core point, but I wouldn't say the human sensory system is mediocre.

Your eyes are sensitive enough to see a candle flame at 2.6 km away. A rod can actually be stimulated by a single photon, but the brain squelches activation that small. The human ear is sensitive enough to hear a watch tick from about 20 feet away in a quiet room. That's pretty darn good.
Not everyone is a fan of throwing away secure sandboxed environment easily accessible apps run on to native applications that might not even be built for your OS.

There is no actual code, and even the problem description is omitted, in the most cryptic way. Supposedly, the description is in a referenced paper that readers are encouraged to read. However, the citation itself warns us that the paper which contains it is 400 pages that are "Unpublished".

Problem description and code, or it didn't happen.

Seems to me that all of these are very old ideas in programming, not the future. Maybe the future is going back 50 years and starting over, but probably not.
Ugh, That's the worst of both worlds, neither the company recovers the device nor does it let you use it. Why not just remote wipe it instead?
> Real wages have been flat for median workers since the 70s

Real wages for workers in what context? The US? The industrialized nations? Perhaps the better explanation for this (assuming it’s true) is that the median worker in industrialized nations has had productivity that has grown at a slower rate than the median worker in developing markets.

Would be interesting to see what the worldwide statistics are for CEO to worker pay.

> They do that specifically by depressing the wages of their employees to make room for dividends.

Can’t “workers” also be shareholders? If not in their own companies, then at least in any publicly traded company. The world isn’t cleanly divided into “worker” and “owner”. People can be both. And again, those dividends have to go somewhere. My original post applies here, where it either gets hoarded or invested, and no matter which one happens, it is beneficial to the consumer at large.

I’d consider “trickle down” to be quite the misnomer. I think “trickle up” is more apt because in the end, all it means is that the people who make the money in the first place, get to decide what they do with it as opposed to being taxed and sending their money off to a centralized (often divided and inefficient) govt to decided what to do with it.
It seems like the name is bit of a misnomer though. Perhaps Pwn2Sell?

>Also AVIF is more performant for most cases.

AVIF, on the other hand, has yet to shown anything similar.
I used to be a very loyal HP printer customer. I started buying them with the original LaserJet, back in the early '80's. They were around $3,500 at the time.

As time went by the various new models started to come with "personalities". A few years ago I finally had enough. I was not going to blindly buy product from this company any more. They obviously did not care enough about the customer to deliver a good product.

When the time came to replace them we tossed all of our HP's and got printers made by Brother. So far, so good. Not much to complain about other than some misguided person decided the printer should emit a sound after receiving a fax and that sound should be exactly that you hear during an emergency broadcast interruption in the US (or close enough). Silly things that happen across cultures and regions when people don't bother to check products to make sure they fit the context.

Thsi reminds me of a product Sony introduced a very long time ago. They had a division that designed and marketed tape-based data storage systems. I believe this was in the early '90's. This product offered massive storage for the times. They named it "PetaFile". Imagine the surprised when they started to get feedback on this name. Nobody was going to buy a "PetaFile".
The name soon changed to PetaSite.

So… what’s the difference between this and SPAs using frameworks again? Because it sure seems to me I see many of these in sites that are apparently using frameworks. Hell, Facebook — presumably the poster child for the react ecosystem and certainly with the resources to do everything right — is still introducing nav-state related bugs.

Frameworks might focus people’s attention on what needs to be done, but the fundamental capabilities aren’t in the framework, they’re in the browser and the heads of the devs.

And of course, the other possible point the parent is making is not that people should be doing SPAs from scratch (which probably wouldn’t be wise in many cases) but that it’s not wise to start from the assumption that you should be making an SPA.
I have a generation older Brother HL-2270DW and it also has never given me issues. The only thing missing is proper support for iOS cloud printing but that has been an issue in my household zero times. The included toner cartridge is smaller than even the standard side replacements Brother sells, I am not really sure of the reason.

There might have been an update to add iOS printing to it via some software bridge, but I never checked. There are multiple tutorials online about setting up a Raspberry Pi (even a zero w) as an AirPrint server and interfacing with the printer via CUPS. This allows using a lot older printer models as well that don't have built-in wifi.

I think that the levels of Associativity between Linguistic Terms goes beyond a mere "mix of words and styles". When pulling on one part of the Prompt causes portions of the Output to shift or vanish, or change genre or word choice or composition or focal point or focal distance - - -

I don't know why you claim the oligarchs are western backed when they're locals. Or why you claim Putin is a departure from Yeltsin, Oligarchs told Yeltsin to appoint Putin as his chosen successor in exchange Putin protected him from corruption charges. The only real difference in Russia's economy since then is oil and gas. Putin reigned in oligarchs in terms of political influence but he largely let them keep their money and industries (occasionally breaking one like a piggy bank for the loose change). He also made many KGB men very wealthy/as influential as you can get under a dictator. Russia has utterly failed in reigning in corruption or nurturing any non hydrocarbon industry. Russian programmers had already been leaving Russia long before the war.

A number of Ukrainian oligarchs also helped Russia efforts to subvert Ukrainian democracy. Ex: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viktor_Medvedchuk

Ukraine had a strong democratic movement and was trying to actually purge corruption as hard as it was. It's also hard to grow when a neighbor invades and tries to steal many of your industrial cities and wrecks their industry.
This take is very wrong, but it does have a kernel of truth. The unprofitable services Amtrak provides are incredibly necessary for rural communities, but having to operate them is a major drain on Amtrak's resources. IMO, Amtrak's lines in extremely low density areas should be separated from Amtrak's portfolio (not shut down but moved to a separate agency) to allow Amtrack to massively expand service in areas where it could do so properly without having to support tons of inherently unprofitable routes. The east coast specifically should have way more and much higher quality trains than it does.
As if various storage schemes to deal with that don't or can't exist.

The article states “The first base edit disabled the T-cells targeting mechanism so they would not assault Alyssa's body”. Not an expert but I presume the ‘targeting mechanism’ is the T-cell receptor, whose activation is necessary (but not sufficient) to trigger immune response.
