No the scholars did not start immediately misinterpreting it. For example, rishi katyayana who came after rishi panini in his commentarty correctly understands the rule but somehow later scholars started misinterpreting it and it carried to this day until rishi rajpopat went back to the original source and deciphered it correctly (such a funny coincidence his first name is rishi lol)

I am not sure I understand your question. Ashtadhyayi was written by rishi panini to probably codify the already spoken sanskrit language under the umbrella of his 4000 rules. Probably he was frustrated by seeing different people speaking the language in different ways so I guess he and the 10 other rishis predating him that he credits in his book started this exercise.
Large-scale solar PV looks capable of integrating well with farming, particularly in arid to semi-arid regions, where partial shading doesn't reduce photosynthesis but does reduce evapotranspiration, meaning less water demand.

This doesn't eliminate the need for either storage of PV power for use at night, or use of an alternative energy source (gas-powered turbines with rapid response times, etc.) at night, but clearly this could massively reduce demand for natural gas power during daylight hours.

Of course, the investors in private utilities tend to also invest in natural gas companies, and they'd be losing revenue to the farmers and solar panel owners. This is certainly the case in California, and seems to account for the recent decision to limit net metering for solar PV producers who feed power into the grid. Note that this happened in a state where the political leadership makes lots of noises about supporting renewable energy and 'fighting climate change'.
I love it. How do your "review" meetings go? Do they just skip them?
You are claiming that Theranos, which claimed to be using novel technology to revolutionize medical diagnostics, was not a tech company? That seems very "no true scotsman" to me.
The VCS was a good idea IMO. It just needed a few more hardware/software iterations.

Yeah, at first I didn’t understand the pun walking into a bar joke because the punchline really needed to be spoken out loud.

The beatings will continue until metrics improve
Agreed.

I've been thinking of GPT as an incredibly well-read 8-year-old. Smart, but sometimes wildly silly and not yet developed in a sound understanding of the world (but getting there!)
What a refreshing read. By using the familiar “explaining jokes is human” trope, you completely debunked ChatGPT’s “human-like” capabilities!

I expected it would have fared much better (like it does on other topics and situations) but this was a total flop.
Wow, it looks way better than GTK4! What happened?
Apparently the neural network has converged onto a model that can to some extent model the concepts that language talks about.

It is also simply good at making sentences, which can help it bullshit its way through a conversation, but you may note that the output stays really close to the models limited understanding of a concept (e.g. joke = subverting expectations) without straying much even if the situation demands it.
I wish that community would put a warning sign or something. The article is a collection of things that should never be done. People who want to learn software performance work need to start from a solid foundation. Mentioning that algorithms exist at the end is not good enough.

Do we know this for a fact? The only way to find this out is to test it in courts. There could be executive orders involved, the Patriot Act or related acts, or simply a "state of emergency" or two declarations:

Open:

"Now, Therefore, I, George W. Bush, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, I hereby declare that the national emergency has existed since September 11, 2001, and, pursuant to the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.), I intend to utilize the following statutes: sections 123, 123a, 527, 2201(c), 12006, and 12302 of title 10, United States Code, and sections 331, 359, and 367 of title 14, United States Code."

If the problem is solved, it does not return due to improvements in process. "Watching for it" bifurcates between actively putting into your view (the problem at hand) or by putting a monitoring daemon in place to inform you when a threshold has been broached.

It should happen. A shareholder suit will probably happen because Tesla's board is toothless. But nothing must happen that forces that choice.

A likely short term outcome is that Musk runs out of easy borrowing capacity, and that snowballs into worse terms on debts where Tesla shares have been pledged as collateral. Separately, since the LBO debt is backed by Twitter equity, the banks could end up owning Twitter.
Do you use KV as a read-only cache, then, or?
It's the general data privacy regulation, it applies generally, to everything. It treats planes, cars and phones in exactly the same way (in that it never specifically mentions any of them).

We're all going to become philosophers of "Chinese Rooms"[0] at this rate.

The plain fact is, ChatGPT is demonstrating a major step forward towards artificial general intelligence. It can't perfectly explain jokes, especially puns, but it's pretty darned close.

What happens next is what always happens next with AI. When it can identify and explain something, someone puts it in reverse and asks it to make jokes instead. HumourDiffusion v0.1, coming next week, and it will make you laugh more than half the comedians on TV. Version 7 will write sitcoms that are actually funny. Version 21 will win a Pulitzer.

Perhaps ChatGPT is what Peter Watts predicted in "Blindsight"[1] - intelligence without consciousness.

I believe this is just an elaboration on few-shot/one-shot learning, which was first observed in GPT-3: https://arxiv.org/abs/2005.14165

The novelty in ChatGPT is that it is trained to respond to few-shot learning in the form of a dialog.

Farmland in the midwest has been shrinking consistently for decades. Your comments would make sense if the opposite of this were true, and there was demand for additional farmland, but there isn't. Ohio reduced the amount of land it needed for farming by about 800,000 acres from 1997-2017 and in that period increase agricultural output[0], so it's not like the amount of food produced is going down!

If people in rural areas NIMBY away solar power in these areas, more than likely the land is just going to have some exurban building plopped down on it.

Also, I don't get the whole thing where people act like farmland is sacred and good for the environment. I like food, I understand the value of farms, but farmland is typically pretty awful for the surrounding environment.

The area I live in Ohio has a whole handful of lakes, and any of them that are surrounded by farmland (and to a certain extent exurbs and suburbs) are incredibly polluted, to the point where you have to look at "forecasts" on ODNR's website to see if the water is healthy to swim in.

It's possible that a tool could help you improve an individual piece of writing. Even ChatGPT can probably do that. But you probably would like to improve your ability overall, rather than just fix some writing you've already done.

To achieve that will probably take a human being looking at examples of your writing and telling you what went wrong. Usually, there is some kind of mistake you will be making again and again. If it's a grammar problem, you need to have someone teach you the rules in way that you can apply consistently to every new sentence. And I don't mean all the rules because obviously you know lots of them. But you probably need a human to hammer in the ones that you're having problems with.

Even more likely than grammar is that you might be having problems conveying your meaning in a concise and compelling way. This is an art as much as a science and will also probably take human tutoring to improve. I love writing[0] myself and I'm elated to see that you want to improve. If it would be of help to you, contact me at the info in my profile and I'd be happy to read a few of your things and spend some time on a Zoom call helping you out, gratis.

We are talking about sustainability not quality here. German health care system is barely functioning (and it always was like that. Remember the korean nurses in Western Germany?) living off of other countries labor. And per capita germany is the 2nd behind the US on healthcare expenditure.

There's louder and louder voices in other countries to fix this problem by mandating the medical personnel trained in those countries to practice medicine for X number of years. It's simply not sustainable.

It's not illegal to supply your own electricity. It's illegal to not have the gov mandated electricity. Once you have that, you can supply your own on top of that.
It's not too weird -- "Terry" is always spelled with two r's, and yes English is weird but if you didn't have any more specific knowledge you'd also assume the name Terry is derived from is also always spelled with two r's.
Hah, that was unexpected. Thanks for sharing.

And yeah, Next's built-in Typescript support is great. And not just TS, but dealing with the other parts of the buildchain that are traditionally a PITA to individually configure (the server, linter, bundler, package manager, etc.). Next sets it all up for you for ease of use and interop. It's beautiful.
Don't overthink it.

This advice covers 80-99% of actual bugs. Real bugs don't reappear once fixed -- if they do, it means they were never fixed. Metrics designed for a bug that was fixed may be relevant but specifically ARE NOT TARGETED at any new bugs.

Though all of this really highlights the core problem with metrics and dashboards and such in the corporate world: if the problem were a problem and not just a convenient political puppet, we'd have solved it by now instead of talking about what thinking about solving it looks like.
+100 couldn't agree more. And it's not a rational decision, it's a UI trend.
Statistical Experiments and Science Experiments
That's my impression of ChatGPT. It vomits out a half-page of boilerplate about any subject before getting to any real insight.
very insensitive to all the nazis he killed
Yeah, it’s really neat seeing mainstream mathematicians finally applying mathematical methods computing scientists discovered half a century ago.

The isomorphism between programs and proofs implies we’ll see this or similar techniques developed for constructing programs that can be readily mathematically reasoned about applied more and more often in different areas. Good stuff.
When I hear about FBI trying to get people banned on some stupid website named twitter, all I can think about is this:

It seems like interesting tech, but IMO we should start by putting down solar nearby highways (an appropriate distance back to avoid road debris). If we need more space, just remove a couple lanes (it should be fine because people should be shifting to public transit and work-from-home anyway).

Then we can cover large chunks of the desert, lots of it is not really all that productive. I know it is an interesting environment and has some unusual animals to fill the weird niches, so we shouldn’t just totally cover it. But since we’ve already signed up for more deserts via climate change, surely we can panel-up some.
Can someone explain if the situation in the logician joke really works?

I know it works if it's about wearing colored hats.

Let's say they are all wearing hats but don't know the color. If the beekeeper is blind and asks "are you all wearing yellow hats?" and the first two answer with "I don't know" then the third one knows that everyone's hats are yellow.

But the question "does everyone want beer" can not be resolved like this. So the joke is even a play on another joke.
In my telling, the man explains his spouse demanded he quit drinking. Which adds that clever subversion element to the punchline.

I would think that unless you’re doing a startup together than all new employees in any business are less productive. This strikes me as by definition as they can’t be expected to know the processes (and environment) unless they work in it for a while. In the office will help with culture but everything else comes with experience. If you can’t provide useful work to those out of physical contact, get people who can. I’m sure salesforce has more than one office.

I so wish I could "kill stupid things before they cause damage", "set direction" and have people follow, but it seems especially difficult for technical people.

We spend all-day every-day talking to our subservient (a compiler) but a human is fuzzy and unreliable which is compounded by team size. Carmack can realize something in an instant but it is amazing how long it can take an entire team.

One thing I've noticed that really does not work is "complaining", if Carmack thinks he is complaining, then magnify that by 10 for others on the team.

Rather than attacking an idea directly, I'm wondering if ignoring the idea may be more effective. This way there's no one to fight and the idea can slip away without any ego or drama, there's no face to lose.

If you really can't help the situation, then leaving is the last resort. Oh well, on to the next thing, very curious to see what Carmack gets into next.
There's an Eevee update in the works that includes some Lumen ideas, real emissive materials for instance (iirc). Even for now, you can dive into the options and enable some stuff like refraction that defaults to off for the folks with less GPU.
This is really going to mess up the hydraulic analogy.

You forgot to mention, that filename entry field is also in the middle of titlebar. While that might help to defend placing "Save" button next to it on the right, but now all primary save dialog functionality is contained in titlebar. Folder selection is clearly separated and made secondary action. It would be interesting to see usage statistics, how many users save files without selecting folder first.

Clearly if you read the context, that emmelaich's invocation of the "penumbra" doctrine to suggest that the first amendment covers Twitter's actions is weak. It does not, even when there's a connection to reports from a government agency. There are other arguments for why Twitter's actions were wrong, perhaps even that it's a first-amendment issue, but that one just doesn't work in the context of how the constitution is currently being interpreted. The one-line slam dunk is really anything but.

Also, please read the guidelines about low-effort comments.
It is funny, as I noticed many times before now since chatgpt was unleashed, that many people talk to it like they would a human. I have seen many 'please', 'thank you', and here; 'Alright?', 'Ready?' and 'Will you explain it to me?'.

I do it myself too, but the answers are the same if you don't and we know it's large language model trained on a lot of data, not a human, not even an animal. But apparently it all feels so familiar, we treat it with respect.
As unions decline, inequality rises
We already grow more than enough food for everyone. We should have less land dedicated to farming (or more accurately sucking up government subsidies) and return it to wildlife or social use.
First joke: ChatGPT seems to have failed to notice that the drinker is still drinking, despite claiming that he's quit.

Second joke: I didn't get it, and not did ChatGPT.

> I apologize for misunderstanding the joke.

I think that's quite an amusing experiment; but there's nothing amusing about explaining jokes. It's a bit like free online services: if you're not paying, then you're the product. In this case, if you're not laughing, you're the joke.

Author then goes on to explain each joke - which must have felt a bit tedious, because ChatGPT presumably learns nothing from the explanation (or does it? I don't know how it works).

Anyway, I don't think you can teach a sense of humour. Isn't having a sense of humour a bit like having curiosity? It's not exactly completely innate (although my 3yo toddler granddaughter has a wicked sense of humour). But I don't think explaining jokes to someone confers on them a sense of humour.

ChatGPT seems to have some kind of built-in assumption that any joke works by "subverting expectations". So all of its first-shot explanations are based on subverted expectations, and most of it's second-shot attempts as well.

Journalism should present things in the correct context, and contextualize statements, situations, etc.

If feels like you're accusing journalists of lying to push an agenda, which is, by definition, not journalism. Journalism is about informing. Not saying everyone does it perfectly, in the same way you can do bad science that is still technically science.
You can, but I'm not that anonymous (one can easily find my name by searching for my username, not that there's much interesting to find anyway). More importantly, I wouldn't try to damage a person's reputation if I wasn't ready to stand behind what I said and, if proven wrong myself, take some responsibility. I think a few negative things were said about his personality, which can be damaging. An anonymous internet comment is not the most credible source though.

Twitter suspends Koo's account for VIP queries
Good summary. From my experience if your server has been around long enough and your IP is dedicated and stable, you can get away with skipping some of that (eg. haven't had to do a blacklist removal request in over a decade).

Another little perk to owning your own server that hasn't yet been mentioned by others is you can dictate policies (eg. mailbox size, accounts allowed to receive commonly-restricted file types, max attachment size, etc).
Not directly but it seems to be able to generate video out over the MIPI, at least. Not so convenient though, converter chips are probably small and not super hobbyist-friendly (like the one from Analog a siblibg comment dug up).
