Its more than that. Have a play with ChatGPT and you'll see.

A friend of mine said that she had a sinking feeling in her stomach when she talked to it, like "oh no, there's something big here". I made an account and had a conversation with it about a field I know a lot. I asked "Explain the difference between CRDTs and OT algorithms". Its answer was remarkably good. Then I followed up "Implement an OT algorithm for text editing in python with these characteristics...". There were a few bugs in the code, but it managed to fix the bugs after I pointed them out. ChatGPT can program about the level of a good junior engineer.

My partners' sister is a psychology professor. She asked it an essay question she'd given her students. The answer was better than about 85% of her students would deliver. My mum works in education in the developing world. She asked it to explain albinism in Uganda and it gave a fantastic response. My nephew asked for a story of two pokemon battling each other. The response was great.

Its not perfect yet. But its a lot more than a clever regex engine.

Have a play, and there's a good chance you'll have that sinking feeling in your stomach too.
The major difference is how much richer they are. $100 million was still a lot in the late 90s. Now that is just a rounding error. It opens up new possibilities.

All three have business ties to their mentors. As a teen, Mr Altman was part of the first cohort of founders in Mr Graham’s Y Combinator, which went on to back successes such as Airbnb and Dropbox. In 2014 he replaced him as its president, and for a while counted Mr Thiel as a partner (Mr Altman keeps an original manuscript of Mr Thiel’s book “Zero to One” in his library). Mr Thiel was also an early backer of Stripe, founded by Mr Collison and his brother, John. Mr Graham saw promise in Patrick Collison while the latter was still at school. He was soon invited to join Y Combinator. Mr Graham remains a fan: “If you dropped Patrick on a desert island, he would figure out how to reproduce the Industrial Revolution,” he says.

It seems like they get rich, but when average people participate, they get poorer. Like Bitcoin, down 75% since it was hyped by Peter Thiel, Chamath, Balaji , and Andreessen. Same for NFTs and Coinbase stock, both down 90% this year. At least with the 90s tech boom average people could invest early, like Cisco, Microsoft, and AOL. Companies wait too long to go public.

That seems to be the go-to response when you've lost the argument. OK. We're done here.
You lose the meaning of the word if it becomes too inclusive, and you'd simply have to use a new word to distinguish between societies that developed cities and other major technological advancements and those that did not. There were key and fundamental differences between pre-colonial Indigenous Australian nations and the way people lived in say, England, at the same time.

While the origin of the word itself is quite literally Eurocentric, being a judgement and description invented by Romans, the consensus has been for a long time that civilisation did not start in Europe which undermines the idea that it's simply a Eurocentric/racist idea.

You can also certainly argue that civilisation has major faults and ignored local indigenous knowledge in colonial contexts due to a misguided sense of superiority. If I may suggest a good book on this kind of thing, check out Seeing Like a State by James C. Scott. I don't buy into the idea that civilisation is inherently superior (although I do like a lot of the things that come with it) which is probably why I don't see a need to make the word more inclusive.
I haven’t lived in VA for over 20 years, but I did spend a couple months there this year to help with family matters (health related but not directly covid-related AFAIK). Anyway, yeah, VA is fucked up in a lot of ways… but not so fucked up that their glut of bored cops with nothing to do other than harass people care about this mask law.

Absent other behavior that causes concern, wearing a mask is more likely to raise an eyebrow than any kind of confrontation. I was also pleasantly surprised to find this was the case twice driving across the US. Only one person even asked me why I was wearing a mask, and it was very unclear whether the one person asking sincerely didn’t know why from sheer unfamiliarity.
Unfortunately, they fail to mention that mass shootings are a small fraction of gun / bullet related events.

For starters, approx 50% of gun deaths are suicide (mostly by white males). And then there are cities like Philadelphia where there's the equivalent of a "mass shooting" ever week. But that never makes the national news.

Focusing on (read: sensationalizing) mass shooting is great for the media, but the real issue - and associated numbers and damage - is broarded and deeper. We can't focus on fringe symptoms and expect to solve root problems.

It'd be good to have a way to avoid sundown towns, too. I wouldn't personally be subject to hate but I don't want to accidentally give them any of my time or money.
Could you elaborate on how device scoped barriers are benefficial? I’m not sure I follow where that would help for your example, but I’m definitely curious (and Google searches have become increasingly useless of late)
I imagine there are more costs in running a power plant than the cost of fuel - hydro, solar and wind power is not free despite not using any fuel.
>No amount of covid is safe, and no number of shots can protect you

The irrational, terrified logic of this could also be applied to so many other things that inevitably carry some risk. Take it to the point where you futilely try yo stamp all types of activities and habits out of existence based on a silly notion that nothing can be 100% guaranteed to work and "even one death is too much". Again, absurd and suffocating logic.
He is using 8 100W panels. You could fit a decent Li-Ion battery in place of that weight.

Row spacing requirements vary greatly between different types of farms.

For example, the current configuration is not suitable for corn or maize once they grow fully.

My ideal case is to have a box that is pluggable to different chassis, that can be used at different stages of farming and at different types of farms.

There are two huge potential benefits from using robots in ag fields that immediately come to mind:

1) Precision weeding. The best option I've seen so far is using an IR laser and machine-learning based weed-recognition software to weed. Here's one example:

https://www.freethink.com/robots-ai/farming-robot

> "The Autonomous Weeder can eliminate more than 100,000 weeds per hour and weed 15 to 20 acres of crops in one day — for comparison, Myers said a laborer can weed about one acre of his onions per day."

The other has to do with precise fertilizer application. Right now, it's cheaper labor-wise to just dump fertilizer on the entire field, where a good fraction of it is lost due to things like runoff or denitrification. A robot could instead deliver aliquots of fertilizer right to the base of each plant, and could possibly even monitor plants individually for deficiencies. This could vastly reduce fertilizer demand in the optimal situation. This is also under current development:

https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/frobt.2022.8084...

Nice to see people developing DIY versions, too! (Though I imagine CO2 lasers are a bit rough on the budget).
I bought makeup as a present for someone and while they were appreciative of the thought and time that went into my gift, they had to ask me if I got it off Amazon because they couldn't actually use it if I did. Counterfeit makeup gives her skij condition a skin rash and she's been burned more than once on that so she has to be extra cautious.

It’s for whatever your code can do, same as Airflow.

One of the great things a Temporal workflow can do is can send or wait around for signals from external processes, indefinitely if needed. It’s much easier to start orchestrating things you already have. You don’t really need to buy into it as much as you do with Airflow. If it exceeds retries or timeouts, it can send a signal or launch a process to notify a human that something needs fixed, then someone can intervene, then notify the workflow that it can keep going now. Airflow is much more all-or-nothing success or failure in my experience. Very hard to re-enter the workflow after something got twisted.

Certainly Airflow has more ETL integrations at this point in part due to how much longer it’s been around and the use cases it’s been evangelized for.

I had never worked in place that had much investment in the ETL integrations, we used dockerized processes and just the docker operator, as it was easier to develop and test independant of an airflow instance.
Age and how it relates to life experience. I imagine the teen awkwardness will persist for a long time (although I'm unsure, some of the girls [plus some of the middle/high school teachers I've fit] specifically talk about the reactions of boys around them and our idea of acceptable male adolescent behavior is changing rapidly).

I was talking with my coworker about this today actually: Gen X women are in an uncomfortable position of being raised in an era of mass media and unattainable ideals without the ability to talk to one another openly and anonymously that Millennials/Gen Z/Alpha have. For example, Gen X women are (generally) way more concerned about the fat squeezing out of their bra bands than Millennial or Zoomer women even though they all have it. Likewise, most of the 'oh I can't be X size because it's 'vulgar'/'I have to minimize'/'I have to be a certain shape' comes from Gen X and older. There are very clear social messages which have changed with generation that are fascinating to watch. This is even more pronounced in the language/approach our male customers have. The older crossdressers or trans women are way different than our younger ones.

Boomers and older genuinely aren't dealing well with their aging when it comes to things like mobility, medical conditions, etc. For example, front closure bras are really useful for older women who have lost shoulder/arm mobility but there are physics trade-offs that have to be made. Likewise, a lot of them can't stand the pressure that's needed for a good fitting wired bra as their muscles/bones/etc. are less resilient so they need wirefree options but can't accept that it means they will not get the shape they're used to. I just want to grab them by their fragile boned shoulders and shake them. You're 75! It's okay! Nobody cares if you don't have the breast shape under clothes of a 22 year old!

I hope this does get better as we age. Watching older women hate themselves is so sad.
It's extremely optimistic to think that 'knobs' for the current system 1) exist, 2) are controllable, and 3) knowable. This is such an abstract oversimplification of empirical reality. The sentiment that capitalism is an engine that can be controlled is less of a metaphor that tracks reality, but more of a rhetorical argument to advocate for some form of liberal technocracy as the solution. I am not going to claim that it isn't (I don't know), but generalizing the complicated collisions of both human economy and culture to fit our scientific paradigm's love of mechanistic explanations is the same mistake that command-economy communists, free-market-equilibrium capitalists, and econometricizing technocrats have made.

Our ideas of 'greed' and 'ambition' are at least partially socially constructed, and the idea of 'societal advancement' is a value laden can of worms. Thinking of our current system as controllable diminishes the scale of our analysis. But the correct scale of analysis is one in which greed and ambition, as you say, remain relevant. Much to the chagrin of some economists, greed and ambition cannot be quantified into neat formulae, especially given that we cannot even find agreement on what they mean or the precise point in which they diverge.

That means the task is much bigger than just thinking of capitalism as an engine. Instead, we must analyze our predicament in not only mechanistic terms, but also accounting for the vagrancies of the human condition and our culture, which creates the types of people that are greedy, ambitious, and talk about 'societal advancement' as an ontological reality that's descended from the heavens in the first place. I think by the time we get to that level of philosophizing (which is absolutely necessary in understanding inequality, suffering, and well-being), we need to drop atomistic conceptions of capitalism in favour of something much more holistic, human, and fuzzy. This amount of prudence is morally obligatory. Social engineering is not a game for white-collar bureaucrats to simply play around with. These are people's lives.
Sounds neat. Tell us about the problems with it.
For me, it was a reply to a thread I started on a big corporate repository.

60% of their GDP is from exporting petroleum. Their low population and geographically beneficial location for building out hydroelectric power means they can export nearly all their petroleum since they don't need it.
Be aware of the following: Unfortunately, if you want to use the new iOS advanced data protection feature of iOS 16.2, ALL your devices must be at 16.2 or higher.
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT212520

Meaning, if you are using your very old iPad that can’t be upgraded, you won’t be able to use advanced data protection on your primary, up to date devices. Eg, in my case, I am sadly retiring these old devices that I was just using for ebook purposes.
That is the angle I am thinking of exploring today.

Twitter down for thousands of users
Ah I forgot about the refresh for the 6th gen.

The difference in speed with your phone might be down to RAM? 6GB vs 4GB? I forget if the latest mini is LPDDR4 or 5 but it might be 5

Otherwise the A16 and the A15 aren’t that different, though the A16 does have a newer ANE ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_A16?wprov=sfti1 ).
Yes, I had the same issue.

Its weird.

UPDATE: Twitter again logged me out and continuously flickering with "Error" popup:

Something went wrong, but don’t fret — it’s not your fault. Let’s try again.

UPDATE2: Now (0223 UTC), one minute after previous update, after refresh Twitter works again and keeps me logged in.

UPDATE3: Twitter just logged me out again (0255 UTC). Since previous update I was able to tweet about issue with URL on "Boost your account security" pop-up.[1,2]

UPDATE4: Twitter still flickering (0310 UTC) logging me in and out, but I was able to reply to ex-CEO on their "Works for me" claim with pop-up issue screen.[3]

Fantastic work Taylor! A few years ago I was hoping someone would create something like this. Glad to see it becoming a reality!!

Taylor, I was just wondering-- Is it feasible to use lasers for killing weeds while retaining relatively light weight robot? (Wasn't sure if this would require prohibitively heavy batteries)

While IANAL this article doesn't seem to state that. It focuses on two court opinions which have ruled on specific credential sharing situations (wrt the CFAA) where courts have stated in their opinions that their findings don't apply in general password sharing situations, but that the language used has not been clear enough to prevent the CFAA from being used to prosecute said situations.
Btw, there's a large number of tools that use the Procfile file format, including what appears to be the original one, written in Ruby https://github.com/ddollar/foreman (the readme has links to a partial list of foreman clones)

But I agree that overmind is the best of the bunch
This might be a good time to note that a large number a Sherlock Holmes stories have been written with the autorisation of the estate since the death of Conan Doyle.

Of those, I particularly like Neil Gaiman's The Case of Death and Honey.
I agree that machine-generated passwords are better, though it spends half of the article on it, based on this weird statement:

> The LastPass account password “best practices” advice linked to in their announcement says nothing about using a password generator, so it would be incorrect to assume that users are generating their LastPass passwords using a strong password generator.

A more compelling criticism would be to identify some flaw in the UX instead of the absence of something in documentation, which is a really poor signal for user behavior.
True, that's one of my main worries, I won't be able to find a partner there.

I self host a Ghost instance for my personal blog and for any blog I setup for other stuff. No longer utilize wordpress for blogs. That said, Ghost decided this year to make Ghost only compatible with MySQL 8 instead of allowing MariaDB like it did before, or any other DB setup. But otherwise it’s a good simple setup. My personal blog is hosted on a container on my homelab and behind cloudflare.

Speculation, but probably their legal department feels like that'd be a sort of implied warranty, and if the route wasn't appreciably safer (what does that even mean? Surely reasonable people/people with a different set of strengths & weaknesses will differ), they might open themselves up to lawsuits?

Possibly a similar situation if they claim they can tell one route is safer than another, but then don't give you the safer option?
Even if a billionaire did nothing but build yachts, they would still be doing something for the economy, and likely a more positive thing than what an average person does with their daily activities.

Twitter Outages
Not sure if this is the beginning of the complete collapse that was being predicted as imminent when the mass firings were happening, but I was logged out of the web client and am unable to log in, and seem to be far from the only one. iOS client seems not to have logged me out, and is still working for now.

Regardless of what you think of current management, or whether you think Twitter is a healthy use of your time and attention personally, or whether it is good or bad for the world, there are many very real communities that will simply cease to exist as communities if Twitter suddenly goes away, and large numbers of people whose livelihoods are deeply dependent on their ability to reach an audience there.

So I'm hoping that this is not in fact the end yet. But if it is, R.I.P., it's certainly been an interesting time...

So far it hasn’t been a problem. Junior candidates have shown code from a school project and others have submitted code from a personal project or from something they contributed to an open source project. I think the personal projects are the most interesting to talk about.
> When Pennsylvania’s Department of Human Services announced in 2019 that Polk and White Haven Centers, two large state-operated institutions for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, would close by November 2022—claiming that moving residents to “community-based settings” would better honor their “inherent worth and dignity”—it spelled the end of two campuses that had housed the intellectually and developmentally disabled for more than 50 years. It also sparked a political fight between disability-rights activists, who hailed the closures as a step toward full inclusion for people with disabilities, and many residents and their families, who feared losing what they considered their and their loved ones’ homes.
It's easy to cherry-pick these things and succumb to confirmation bias. I was talking about company culture, not results.

But as long as we're talking about results, "FSD" is an intentional homicide engine and Tesla has had far more recalls per vehicle sold than any other company. They're at the bottom of quality rankings by a wide margin.
