We get it. You think sex and gender are the same thing, and have very narrow views on how they're defined and a woeful lack of acknowledgement that there's even a sliver of complexity here.

But you're not even trying to argue this or convince anyone of anything. You're just saying "nuh huh. What I believe in true and applies to everyone whether they like it or not".

I'm guessing there's nothing out there that'll change your mind. You've taken a fundamentalist position, which begs the question why are you here?
Idk, I can see that as being healthy (in the abstract; you were there in person so I'll bet you had a much higher signal than I do as an internet commenter.) I've definitely seen non-profits be sunk in by groupthink when being too close to a problem. Sometimes an outside perspective is what you need to reframe your approach, as long as it's tempered by lots of insider expertise.
It’s more of a meta analysis in my mind of all the different studies and anecdotes I’ve osmoted over the years. As someone else said earlier, there aren’t great and clear individual studies because there isn’t any money in it.

For dosing curcumin, you can try juicing a quarter inch of turmeric root a day and starting there, I have seen that knock out a lot of things within a short number of days

I had 'cast' in quotes for a reason- I was half thinking of Norm (though I don't think he went to MIT) and more of the various sub contractors that filter through the show (some of which seemed to be thinly disguised product reps). Still, you can't deny they were higher quality outfits than anything most of us are likely to run into.
Nice, I had no idea. I admit that I've never used Waze.. maybe I should start.

Just saying "refuted" or "debunked" without actually refuting of debunking a claim makes it sound like you are trying to gaslight people. Would you care to provide these refutations that you speak of?

Certainly not because, if that's the implication. Maybe since then in time.

But, y'know, regardless of the environment, what does it say about your
abilities that your employer didn't consider you essential?

I think it depends on the company. If you're laid off from from a small or medium sized startup, with more or less one product, then I can understand how being laid off can be seen as a reflection of your skills (or lack thereof) as an engineer. But if you were laid off from a larger company, all it means is that some director saw a team (or teams) which were working on more speculative projects, which could be axed as a way of saving money during a recession. It doesn't mean that you're an unskilled engineer. It just means you were unlucky enough to be in the wrong place at the wrong time when the ax fell.
It asked for a signup after my first try which is not appropriate for a joke site imo. Incognito mode seems to solve it. Is it because of a fear of bots? It would be nice if there was a better way to deal with it than asking for signup
This oft-repeated view is frustrating, because a huge number of studies on exactly this kind of thing are done.

Should there be more? Of course! But the money has to come from somewhere. For a study on potatoes and inflammation it has to come from the taxpayer or a non-profit institute. For a study on a new drug that has a potential to make a huge profit, of course it's much easier to find someone besides those to fund it. There are many problems with the modern medical system but I don't think this aspect is totally broken, definitely not to the degree that nay sayers would have you believe.
If my company knew what was good for it, they'd only let the lead dev on my project out in a Popemobile.
We are repeating this process because the Shopify API, library infrastructure, making it difficult for us to manage our 30K products. It takes 5 hours to sync our catalogue via the Shopify REST API. The once amazing Shopify API gem regularly breaks.

Additionally, the admin interface is slow and buggy, lacks the necessary information to effectively pick and pack orders at scale, and is unable to handle multiple kinds
of inventories (local vs supplier inventory) and lead times.

Furthermore, it takes 47 clicks to ship a product (together with Australia Post), whereas our system can do it with one click. This saves us just under 2K hours per year. Our system also integrates with a robot[0], which can automate the shipping process further.

Our system removes the siloing of data which is a huge problem when it comes to effective ecommerce customer support, and followup service. An example of this, our system tracks deliveries to customers, so we can touch base with them when an order is delivered, or reach out when an order is awaiting collection at Australia Post.

Sell or donate books, too! Just because you bought something that lasts for ages, doesn’t mean that’s where you get the value.

I organize by age (using a ring buffer method) and have an honest “am I going to read this again?” review of my oldest shelf every few months or so.

I tried Rust once and found it pretty interesting. The moment I left was when I wanted to write a simple web scraper, so I found a library, installed it… and found out that it had downloaded a gigabyte of dependencies.
> That's odd to me to hear when on Linux half the updates crash the entire window manager, and once crashed, the only way to fix is to dig deep into CLI because that's the only thing you can even see anymore.

That's not my experience. I can't remember the last time an update broke my window manager. I won't say it doesn't happen, but I don't think very common at all these days.

> Not to mention if you install a wrong GPU driver, which is much easier to do on Linux that one would want, same happens.

Again, I don't think this is really the risk that you're making it out to be. Most distributions are going to default to a reasonable driver for the hardware. There might be some knowledge required if you're using an old enough nvidia GPU but don't want to use the open source drivers, but that's an edge case that isn't going to impact a lot of people.

> There's no defaulting back to fallback when a failure occurs. Nothing. Just death.

macOS and Windows can both brick your machine with a bad update. I use NixOS and I think the situation is much better on average because I can always roll back to exactly any previous state of my system.

> Not to mention the infinite problems with Nvidia GPU's, Wayland-specific issues, or X11 specific issues.

Nvidia is a bit of a pain, but it _mostly_ just works these days. X11 and Wayland both have their issues, I don't feel like the overall state of things is worse than the alternative though. Sure, you don't have the particular bugs in Windows or macOS that you have to deal with using X or Wayland, but you have a whole different set of problems. I find the Linux problems generally more pleasant to live with.

> Makes it seem as if there's no hardware that fully supports Linux.

Most hardware works pretty well with Linux these days, and you can buy machines that ship with Linux if you want to guarantee support.

> You have to be a Linux expert to use Linux even remotely well. And that's pretty stupid if you ask me.

Linux great for beginners and people who don't demand a lot from their machines, and it's great for people who are willing to invest a bit of time into learning the system (and I think that investment has a pretty high return). You don't _have_ to be an expert to use Linux. Where I think most Linux distributions have struggled historically has been with the power user segment- people who either know Windows or macOS well and expect the same level of competency in Linux without spending the time learning another OS, or people who have strongly adapted to the quirks of other OSes and find Linux's different set of quirks more grating. That isn't "stupid" - it would be great if Linux worked better for that group of people, but power users of any system are always the hardest to transition over.

This would interest me as well.
I assume this violates the EULA of most retailers and subjects your account to possible deletion. Not saying that it's likely, but DRM restrictions seem like a matter of principle to some people. Even if you can strip the DRM you still don't legally own the product.
I remember a local news story where a woman described neighbors having complained to the city for years on end about a particularly dangerous intersection where someone recently died. She lamented how now that someone had died the city would have to do something to fix it.

And all I could think about was how the city was very literally not going to do a single damn thing about it.
I've been leaving feedback in Google Maps with exactly this suggestion every time it takes me to one of those dangerous left turns. If presented with one on my route I always take a right and then do a u-turn.
They try and defend that thing crazy too, I believe deamau5 got in quite the legal battle with his mouse helmet.
It’s also a bad faith argument as it ignores the positive aspect that it provides for many people.

What an excellent article.

I have lived bookshops since I was young, I always felt like I might find something amazing and secret in them. They held a kind of mystic for me (1990s).

This changed in the 2000s. I do miss the massive borders books we had. I do have to say the all the Waterstones I've been into in the last 15 years have all those toys, calenders, etc the OP doesn't like; and the bigger stores all have Costas.

I don't buy books now, I just go to the library.
It's a good prototype, but not super impressed with the output. It seems like a rehash of ChatGPT and assignment of generic stock photos.

For this to really take off, it should include collaborative bot editing -- that is, ask the bot to change slide #2 with several iterations.
Yeah probably most books sold are the best sellers not the extensive sections for less well selling stuff. Paring down is not a bad idea, and if you need references a library is a good place
People are people. He ended up getting shipped back to Rome, so he screwed up. Also with the lack of surviving documentation, who knows how the story shifted, why and by who.

Personally, for what it’s worth, I think Christ was a real person whose life and death created a cult of personality at a key moment in time. The details of the story have been fiddled with 1000 times over a millennia and are not reliable historically. Entire branches of Christianity have vanished with varying beliefs as to the details of the story.

The city I live in’s library has a pretty extensive ebook selection that way you don’t have to buy an ebook you can just borrow it from your local library for free. And then there is always the internet archive/open library route too
this is an upbeat assessment but as someone whos repaired farm equipment and worked on a 40 acre farm, hard no.

taylor needs immediate hands on and real world farm work experience to try and not only solve a problem but figure out what farms need. most of their efforts feel out of touch...in my personal opinion theyve consumed too much of the marketing of farming.
cheap open source implementations are a big plus, but theres a reason we dont use bicycle tires on tractors or equipment. light weight can also be a huge problem after a rainy season or during a storm. oklahoma farms get 50mph gusts and texas farms need to operate +35c. can we survive a lightning strike? if we get lost can we alert other farm traffic were around? can we get accidentally sprayed by a chemical or forgotten somewhere? can we detect a person?

taylors robot needs to run on numerous fuels, including diesel or kerosene, to serve small farmers globally. it needs to be a lot more hands on, easy to transport and quick to get visual information from in english and especially spanish.

Edit: so ive given it a little more thought and in picking season might be a good candidate!! can we use Taylors robot to detect fatigue or heat stroke? lightning strike detector? live dopplar? respond to accidents, communicate first aid? deliver food and water, or confirm a crop for picking? in short i think taylors offerings a lot more on the human side of farming, like a digital foreman :)
"A principal may be expected to take pride in his dealings with other principals, in his expertise in some special field, or in macroscopic evidence of the results of his work, such as sales volume, cases successfully handled, etc. He is less likely to be motivated by the development of supporting skills, such a learning the intricacies of his firm's computing system. This may be contrasted with the pride a secretary might take in such skills as typing, shorthand, or filing. Furthermore, a principal will devote less time to the exercise of such skills."

I think ChatGPT might sometimes just spit the prompt back out; earlier I asked it to write me a resignation letter. I then asked it to add a piece saying that I "looked forward to working together in the future in whatever capacity that might be" -- it proceeded to add a sentence to the final paragraph that read "I look forward to working together in the future in whatever capacity that might be".

The letter itself was fine, I just thought it odd that it added my sentence verbatim.
I suspect part of the reason he will plead to a middling sentence is because those in power don't want money laundering and political donations thoroughly exposed in court.
It would be interesting to have a further breakdown showing how many developers using Linux are using Linux via WSL.
And it's far from over yet. Musk is finding out the hard way why you don't want to keep on piling leverage upon leverage. You need to win all of your bets then in order to stay afloat.
No financials in the article. None available of course because it’s private. My guess is it’s loss making and debt just got a whole lot more expensive. If I was the owner I’d be looking to unload B&N fast and focus on my investments with strong cash flow and solid business models.
I sympathize with those who are immunocompromised, and have to take precautions beyond the general public, but there's the flu, cold, pneumonia, etc, and this was the case before covid came around.

Still, much of this article sounds like people who are lonely and seeking some sort of community. The ability to move on as people and as a culture is important as our country has new headwinds to face, with a closer-to-home war in europe, a complicated and scary economy, and a looming disconnection with China that's going to shake up our everyday lives. I hope maybe these people can move on too, find personal protection equipment that meets their needs, and try to get back to where they were before covid.

The CDC in my opinion was right to pull back the guardrails and let people gain natural immunity via exposure so we can try to get back where we were before 2020. We won't get fully there, but shouldn't we keep trying?
> I'm never going to be good at most house-related repair and upgrade tasks that I will do one or two times in my life. And I've been unhappy with the results of most of my work.

I just got done with a home reno. Did quite a bit ourselves, and hired out a lot of it. It's 100% possible to hire someone who does a way shittier job than you do and end up having to rip it all out. Ask me how I know.

Point is, it's not always true that spending the money will save you anything in the end. Finding people who do mediocre work is hard enough, but finding people who actually care about your home and your projects is exceedingly difficult. Sometimes a morning on youtube and an afternoon with the circular saw is the best you're going to get.

I’ve heard of people giving themselves permanent vertigo, a condition with a notably high suicide rate which should be an indication for just how bad it is.
It seems like the key insight is that bookstores are no longer places to get books.

If I want a specific book, I already know where to go: the internet. No physical store is ever going to compete on inventory ever again. Amazon will eat you alive.

I go to bookstores to discover new books, and to enjoy the feeling of being around books and the people who love them. The CEO realized this, and leaned in hard.

It's a really, really smart recognition of when passion for the product is actually a business advantage, and not just a warm fuzzy.

It's very hard to do good recommendations -- even for Amazon/Goodreads! -- without people who care about what they're recommending. Those recommendations are now a bookstore's real product.
The bias is assuming that there's no crime because the sensors weren't there to pick it up.

I think that meant more when the reviews were not egregiously astroturfed like that are now.
Even a language pushed by corporations, zealots, and a framework usually dies. Fizzling is absolutely the normal fate of any new language, absent a miracle.

Even a language that seems to have everything going for it can fade out. Ruby's success used to be thought assured. Then it suddenly wasn't. Python has run the oddest course. It plodded along for two decades, almost imploded on the 2->3 transition, and then got its miracle.
> To argue against a book, you really only need to argue against its central theme. To combat a dozen accusations, you need to reply to each and every one to avoid being wounded by them.

No, you don't get a pass just because your "central theme" is acceptable.

If someone writes a book about a scientific topic, with a "central theme" that is uncontroversial but uninteresting (e.g. "sleep is good"), but otherwise riddles the book with factual and scientific inaccuracies, then they need to fix the problems. If they don't, they're writing science-themed fiction, at best.

At worst, someone can do real harm by dressing up nonsense as science.

I don’t understand the value of Solana. Crypto’s value (at least in part) depends on it being decentralised. I.e trustless. Solana looks like it was relatively centralised, so what’s the point? And why would it be worth much even before FTX collapse?
I found no mention of "nicotine", "tobacco", nor "smoking" in the article.

From at least my family / friends / neighbors experience, "growing out" does not apply to smoking cigarettes.

The damage of prompt injection is only reputational so long as these LLMs are not "used to do things" (including not used to return proprietary information). If they become part of larger applications, then there's all sorts of damage one could imagine.

Moreover, prompt injection comes because prompts are by no means a well-defined programming interface - all of the system's responses are heuristics. Considering how hard stopping exploits of systems designed to stop them is, stopping exploits of systems that aren't engineered but "trained" is likely impossible.

Edit: and I'd also speculate that the line between prompt-injection and prompt leakage might be rather as well.

"meant to be cross-platform on Windows, macOS, and Linux, what 2D graphics library would you use? "

It really depends what you want to do, but in general I would say: the HTML Canvas and the web in general. WebGL for 3D, or rather a framework like threejs or babylonjs.

Doing it not on the web, but still cross-platform makes only sense, if you need the maximum performance, or if you already have a working toolchain you are familiar with. But since you don't want to write OpenGL or Vulkan code and you are not familiar with it - I think you are up for great adventures by diving into Skia and co. There is a reason the web became sort of standard for cross platform despite its numerous flaws - the alternative is likely more pain.
But maybe not, depending on your skill set. But since you did not mention Qt, I would assume you are new in the area in general? Then I really recommend the web.
I think the implication is that fact checking an entire book is more effort. One would think errors in a book are evenly distributed without any reasons to believe otherwise. I'd be biased towards thinking the introductory chapter received more editorial attention than the rest of the book, so it is possible the rest of the book contains more errors per page.
Have you tried some variant of "Do not include literal content from the original prompt" as notion ai does?

I had the same question.

I think it’s that he also complains about LastPass storing things in memory, so perhaps the GC thing just makes it more difficult to analyze what it’s doing in memory? In a non-GC language you’d be able to see explicitly what is going in and out of memory, but with GC the runtime is doing that for you.
If you read the last line of my previous comment you will find a short-form refutation.

What is it drawing from, so to speak? Isn't it the case that it's training included the actual API docs or else it is just guessing based off knowledge of other API's and inferring things from how things are named and whatnot?
