Only in that it accelerated the need for this overhaul. While I was with them - it didn't feel as necessary to climb the ladder (more than one ladder here) to survive. Now, it's very much sink or swim really fucking fast.
Would you trade (a) total cure for all cancer for (b) the human population to go from 8 to 16 billion?

This came up at my work Christmas party. One colleague on my team (1) hates my reviews because the naming things I point out are way too pedantic. Another colleague (2) in our same team loves my reviews because it makes them think about how it's read and understood.

It's difficult to convey why naming is important. (1) also feels that the code needs a lot more comments and berates others for not commenting their code. I have a hard time pointing out the irony to them.
While not as thorough solution as mentioned here in comments, UFCS goes a long way in this direction. In Next Generation Shell, I've designed the methods so that the first parameter is something that is likely to come from "the pipeline". Hence mylist.filter(...).map(...) just work. Combined with multiple dispatch and the fact that methods don't belong to a particular type/class, it allows creating user-defined methods with same convention to work with any existing and new types/classes.

Therapy is not about urging a person to be relentlessly cheerful, for what it's worth.
I believe the world population is expected to peak this century, not because of people dying or starving at higher rates, but because when countries become more developed, their birth rates plummet. I don’t think there’s any reason to think curing all diseases and ensuring no one ever starved again would change that.

> There were two britains - the greater (larger) and the lessor (smaller). The greater one is now part of the UK and the lessor is Brittany in France. Great Britain is basically the bigger Britain!

That is the ordinary meaning of "great", yes.

The terminology is conventional; you can see the same thing in the division between "Great Russia" (today, "Russia"), "White Russia" (today, "White Russia"), and "Little Russia" (today, "Ukraine").

A lot of terminology that feels distinctive now turns out not to be when you look into it. I always felt the the title "Czar of all the Russias" was cooler than the titles taken by other European monarchs. But I learned that in fact, "regina omnium Britanniarum", literally "queen of all the Britains" was a title of Elizabeth II. I tend to assume the title goes back further than that.

Elizabeth II was certainly not the queen of Brittany. On the other hand, wikipedia does tell us that the classical Greek astronomer Ptolemy used "little Britain" to refer to Ireland, not Brittany, and she was the queen of Ireland. This would make "the Britains" synonymous with "the British Isles".

> It looks like we can thank the ancient greeks for the name anyway - a bloke called Pytheas circumnavigated these shores and describes the "Pretannike". That is probably a greekism for whatever the locals called themselves back in the day - bretanns.

Pytheas gives that name to the island, not the people. He would have distinguished between /b/ and /p/ - that is the difference between the ancient Greek letters B and Π - so there is no reason to believe the locals used a /b/. The Welsh form, Prydain, still uses P today.

The idea that we should not progress because we might have more populace is repulsive. A simple reversal of the idea is insightful. Should we minimalize the human population? Seems absurd.
ChatGPT?
In layman's terms: She had a particularly vicious form of cancer where the very cells that are supposed to protect your health -- your T-cells -- are the enemy. So they made three edits to donor cells and wiped out her compromised cells. Then gave her a bone marrow transplant afterwards to replenish her immune system with new cells.

I'm squeamish about genetic research, but this looks really good to me. I hope she recovers fully and there are no further complications, though I imagine it's too early to guess what her prognosis might be.

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.

That's a big deal for people with those genetic disorders.
Those claims are about how the original land grants were respected, not if they were respected. That may sound like mincing words, but it's an important distinction.
My understanding was that this was more of a stop sign than a brick wall trying to stop you from printing. I have not seen any examples of Brother enforcing replacements of parts in consumer products. Do you remember the model? There is one example of a multi-color laser printer where it complains about not having genuine toner, but there's a few links of firmware downgrades online if you know where to look.

My experience is that a, sometimes complicated, series of button presses for a specific amount of times resets the counter and it continues printing like usual. For the model I have the reset procedure is just holding the power button while turning it on for a specific number of seconds.
I haven't been laid off, but as far as I can tell, my company does zero tracking of anything besides the laptop itself. I'm sure they're require it to be returned, but it's got MDM stuff all over it, so I'm not sure there's any reason to keep it.
The whole input of your current session is fed into the model, that's why it tricks you that it "KNOWS" like human would know, in reality this is a lot of data, computation and statistics without any reasoning, that's why there is a lot of examples showing it contradicts itself in the same paragraph, because it doesn't know the meaning of the words its using in the same way as humans do, it only knows probabilities of words in sequences.
>"What happens when there are 16 or 32 Billion people?"

Not sure about other part but in the western world birth rate is gong down and is not enough to offset decrease of the population. Having people leave longer will not change it in any way. If we ever grow to this number it will not be because of curing cancer.

>"Even the idea that "GDP should rise 2% every year" makes me nauseous."

You think anybody responsible for GDP growth gives a hoot about what "makes you nauseous"?
This was my experience when I asked it questions about database or distributed systems. I wouldn't consider my an expert in these fields, but I do have more than a passing interest in them.

All the answers looked good, used several of the correct terms, and one even referenced the project I worked on, but they just contained flat out wrong information.

You reach a point, where when you ask a ML model to generate text given the internet as a corpus, where there just isn't enough text to make something that is both true and convincing. In niche fields, this is just where we are at.
So basically the trick here is that the AI does not run out of empathy or patience when doing this over and over and over.

Past projections of human population growth were generally overblown, because nobody expected e.g. China's population to (officially) peak this year.

Meanwhile world population growth peaked in the late 60s and has been in decline ever since. The 21st century will likely see the global population reaching its limit at less than 11bln.

That's still a lot, but not nearly as much as 16bln.
To be fair, training is a lot more intensive than inference. Though if open source models are any indication, the big issue is actually VRAM requirements.
Maybe so, but I sort of get the feeling that I do get what an image consultant does, unless you have some more context of what you're looking for or what image consultants do. It's just that my opinion differs. I would also wager that an image consultant's services would be more and maybe even actually effective if laid upon the foundation of physical and emotional health I and others here are mentioning.

I mean, you're the one here asking about it, but all your answers imply that you already have the answers.

If I'm not talking to a brick wall, I do at least recommend taking the RHETI test from The Enneagram Institute, if you haven't already. It will help provide an approximate snapshot of who you are already, and maybe you can get some insight from it.

How does it know when to stop when asked for a description or summary? Sometimes it outputs a few sentences, sometimes a few paragraphs.

> Can't imagine rewriting 40 lines of commentary to suit a 2 line code change to be particularly enjoyable.

I have the expectation of a "simple" 2 lime change that took 24 hours to resolve not require more than 4 lines of commentary.

Camera manufacturers are old spineless companies. In all those years they have done nothing for digital image formats and it is the most important thing in a camera. They weren't even able to come up or attempt to make a standard RAW format. All that came from Adobe (DNG), which the camera manufacturers happily ignored for their own proprietary solution until this day.

Don't worry, there's no shortage of ways to prevent getting to 16 or 32 billion people.

> Not all approaches can provide a seamless upgrade. For example if you replace all `<img src="foo.jxl">` with a canvas DOM will be changed and anything expecting the element to be HTMLImageElement will break. Likewise, CSS Painting API [1] (a relevant part of CSS Houdini) requires you to explicitly write `paint(foo)` everywhere. The only seamless solution will be therefore a service worker, but it can't introduce any new image format; it can only convert to natively supported formats. And browsers currently don't have a "raw" image format for this purpose. JXL.js [2] for example had to use JPEG as a delivery format because other formats were too slow, as I've been told.

You can get around many these compatibility issues by creating a custom element that inherits from HTMLImageElement. This provides API compatibility. For CSS compatibility, the elements you would replace in a MutationObserver would be the same tag name but a different namespace for CSS compatibility.

For the CSS compatibility trick, see https://eligrey.com/demos/hotlink.js/ which replaces images with CSS-compatible (not HTMLImageElement-compatible) iframes.

The way they went from GPT-3 to ChatGPT is really quite genius. My understanding is that it's something like this:

1. Start with GPT-3, which predicts the next word in some text and is trained on all the text on the internet

2. Take thousands of prompts, generate several responses for each of them, and have human reviewers rank the responses for each prompt from best to worst

3. The GPT model needs a massive amount of training data, it would be cost prohibitive to get enough human feedback to fine tune GPT manually. So you train another model, called the reward model, to predict how the humans will rate each response. Then you train the GPT model against the reward model millions of times

5. Feed a small percentage of the output from that training process back to the human reviewers to continue training the reward model, based on heuristics like reward model uncertainty which predict how helpful the human feedback will be towards improving the reward model

6. Release ChatGPT to the public, and use user feedback like response upvotes/downvotes to further optimize the reward model, while continuing to train ChatGPT against the reward model

A) We have already largely solved infant mortality in the developed world, and are making progress on the issue globally. Societies seem to adapt over time by decreasing birthrates to compensate [0]. In fact, in most of the developed world, birth rates are below replacement rate.

B) Despite all of the medical advances we have made, we have hardly put a dent in old age. Medical science has made great progress in stopping people from dieing young, which has pushed up the average lifespan. But a 100 year old today is still likely to die within a few years even with the most advanced medical treatment.

Having said that, at some point, we are likely to start making breakthroughs in maximum lifespan, which could very quickly put us back into rapid population growth. Eventually, we would probably see society adjust to the point that having any children is no longer expected of a typical human, but that could be a painful transition depending on how quickly we we go from a lifespan of ~100 to unbounded.

[0] Although it is not clear if this is directly related to infant mortality, or a response to broader economic changes,
there's anecdotal evidence that adding cocos-fat to the patient's diet helps them.

One nurse once told me that there's a connection between the decline and another medication - one for reflux, pantoprazol or so.

Todd Snyder is a wardrobe staple of mine - good quality and designs that fit my style for not too much. Then Wax London, Proper Cloth, Suitsupply. Only Suitsupply in my list does MTM but I've had mixed results with their quality. I tailor anyways.

There are some fabrics you don't want to get from regular clothing brands. Denim, leather, silk, cashmere all have their own rabbit holes.

For example, for cashmere the micron count and method of harvest really matters. Age of the goat, location of harvest, length of the hair, storage and transport - all play a big role. Most cashmere sucks. You'll want to start at something like Johnstons of Elgin and step up to Loro Piana and Brunello Cucinelli if you're rich enough for that. So that's anywhere from 700 to 5k for a high quality cashmere cardigan.

Looking into suppliers for the famous companies is also sensible. Malo, for example, supplies Loro Piana. You can get the same cashmere quality for a good discount, if you're okay with their design language.

I feel that each fabric has its own rabbit hole like this.
