I used it to find quick answers to congressional procedures and laws relating to elections. Very quick, informative replies that would have taken forever to unearth using Google.
The analogy works with European soccer as well though, which isn't as much of a monopoly (given that the European model isn't franchise based).
So? people inside of prison being extra-creative does not make the people outside of prison less-creative.
Rust is essentially C++ done right. It isn't as aggravating as C++ but it is the same technology essentially. It doesn't bring anything new to the table. It's yet another LLVM frontend.

We need to look into something far more fascinating like http://www.spiral.net/ Something that creates value a mere compiler, which is a technology from the 50s, can not.
...okay, so other companies had a bad time attempting that particular union-busting tactic, resulting in reputational damage (and fines?) Maybe Microsoft learned from this that the odds of success are low. Maybe labour got better at organizing these ballots in a way so they can't be contested. I fail to see how any of that means that they have a soul that's somehow pro-labour, while those other companies are soulless labour-crushing business automatons.
Yes, they came up with one of the great all-time thoughtstoppers in that time: "You're either with us, or with the terrorists".
To me, ChatGPT is the most exciting thing that I have come across in a long time. - I can't stop finding use-cases for it. Examples

- Want a book summary quickly, without going through dozens of google search results? Try "Summarize Gilgamesh Epos" or "Summarize Carl Sagans Daemon Haunted World".
=> You can even ask a summary for each chapter of a book, if it has a record of that book.

- Want a quick overview about what DAO in crypto space means? "Explain DAO in the context of crypto"

- Want to get a quick overview of the old testament? "Give me an overview of the parts of the old testament, and describe in detail what the books are about"

- Want to compare Buddhism to Christianity? "Compare buddhism to christianity"

- Want a hypothetical conversation between Socrates and Napoleon, where Socrates tries to convice Napoleon that war is futile? "Create a fictional dialog between Socrates and Napoleon where Socrates tries to convice Napoleon that war is meaningless."

- Want a quick bio of Ataturk, in French?

- Want to have a quick overview about French Revolution, and how it effected the world? What other events were relevant during that time?

Even better:
Want it to produce results in the Q&A style so that you can copy/paste it in your Ank app? "Create Questions and Answers about French Revolution so that I can use it in my Anki App. End each Question and Answer by triple X and a newline."

There are endless use-cases where I don't have the time to go ask google, collect the results, review and read them, to answer my question. This already replaces Google for me for these kind of quick Q&A sessions.

This is extremely exciting stuff, and I can't even imagine what we'll have in ten years from now.
Yes, but inherent in search are links to "primary" sources for that information. I can read one website that says, "The sky is actually hot pink, not blue" and then compare that to the other top results from the search query.

If I replaced all my search activity with BingGPT(tm) and ask "What color is the sky?" and the answer is hot pink, we have a problem. This is a contrived example, but it shows the importance of being upfront and honest about where your information comes from.

We also cannot take for granted ranking algorithms based on search volume when converting to a natural language responses. How does the AI decide that the information it just gave to your was accurate? What's to keep bad actors from gaming that system? It's a similar problem to early SEO keyword stuffing, but in an entirely new environment and with a novel interface.
Yeah, well, that's just, like, your opinion, man. (That said, it's one that you didn't bother to support, so I'll just tap my previous reply and be on my way.)
To me, work is inherently noble. It's the forces that corrupt it that are the problem, not work itself. Getting to enjoy work is an unfortunately rare blessing but I also think enjoyment of work is more dependent on the individual's mindset about their work than we often are willing to admit. It's a very complicated puzzle.
I use the harder to guess "random password" feature instead of the "memorable passwords" one with full words.

I will not be remembering those passwords anyway so there is no need for them to be human readable.
It's actually a mix of GPT3 (the one with an API available) and web results.

I shared my insane MBP repair history on HN last year (including 5 top-case replacements and 2 complete laptop replacements): https://pqvst.com/2021/08/24/my-macbook-pro/

Kind of funny, I'm still on my most recent replacement/repaired unit, and it's still working great since my AppleCare Protection Plan expired (knock on wood). But I guess it's only a matter of time until I'll have to buy a new one.
I think there are three reasons: one is that the code my compiler backend produces is "ok" but not fantastic (though it's somewhat better now than it was when that article was written) - another is that I have only 8 registers, and only five are available for the code generator to play with, so I have to spill registers onto the stack sooner than more register-rich ISAs - and finally my simplistic 8-bit instructions don't do as much as a RISC ISA's 16-bit instructions, so some of the advantage of them being only a single byte is lost.
A non profit prison should in theory be able to out compete for profit prisons because they don’t need to bake profits into their bids. They could then use that surplus to have more humane conditions.

However that argument applies to other industries, but charities haven’t taken over the world because the profit motive is surprisingly effective at motivating both people and organizations.
I mean, I don’t disagree with the general point of being privacy focused as a default. Yes, that should be everyone’s approach given that we don’t openly share in real life.

However, I do find it hilarious in a rather childish way that you are surprised how people react to your opinion on incest. Of all opinions, why even use that as an example? It just shows that there simply is an issue of over sharing and not being able to read the fucking room

“ Just to give an example, I couldnt care less about people engaging in incest and find it just an old cultural taboo. Adults are responsible enough to know about the dangers of having children and they can do whatever they want.”

You know what I get from your opinion? That you are ok with adults abusing children they are related to. Even if that’s not your point, you have to at least recognize that’s gonna be a generally unpopular opinion unless you tend to hang out with pedophiles.

So, check yourself before you wreck yourself.
sure but the product is puppets and the devs are arguably the puppeteers.
> neither 1. allows me to override its choices

What makes you feel like it doesn't allow you to override its styles? Unless it's doing some funny business with e.g. the shadow DOM, you can literally just add some CSS in your browser – the exact ease that this blog author was wishing for:

* { background: white; color: black !important; }
GPT with ads wouldn't provide that service. All that would provide is a masterfully crafted, possibly false argument for why you should buy the product that paid for placement. You can already get that with google minus the conman pitch. So how is this even an improvement?
You will experience the AI revolution like a frog in a boiling pot. By the time you notice that AI is finally useful to you, it will be everywhere. And you will have missed out on the entire field.
> The main point is that your function can only return either a success or a failure. Failure should be handled using the throw statement so as to throw an exception, while success is what leads to another function, which can be of any type.

Rust bakes this into the language with the Result type. You signal railway oriented programming by returning a Result, which contains either the thing you want or an error. If you try to get the thing, you must deal with the possibility of an error in some way. There is no half-way.
Databend 2022 Recap
> A related study found that those who ate later burned less energy than those who ate earlier.

Big question on this one: Was it testing the same people, or was it observational / correlation-seeking? Because I can imagine people who burn less energy in general eat later because they're not hungry, rather than the other way around.
It looks like you can get a wrong answer asking for why ANY company went bankrupt:

> what led to the bankruptcy of jp morgan chase?

> The bankruptcy of JP Morgan Chase was likely due to a combination of factors, including a drop in liquidity, a decrease in market confidence, and the rising cost of debt. Additionally, JP Morgan Chase was heavily exposed to the risky subprime mortgage sector, and its increased risk-taking and lack of transparency about its financial activities likely contributed to its eventual downfall. Additionally, JP Morgan Chase also faced numerous legal issues, including investigations by the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, which may have contributed to its bankruptcy.

edit: it might be a special case with banks due to the difficulties in the late 2000's. It does get companies e.g. CNN or Fox correct.
GPT isn't "write my app for me" it's, "let me give you an Engligh description of what I want a snippet of code to do, in what language and with what libraries and output something close enough to correct that I can look up the documentation on a few library methods and round it out faster than writing it from scratch.
> I’m increasingly convicted there is inherent value in humans doing things regardless of whether an algorithm can produce a “better” end product.

That question already existed a long time ago. In such a big world I can find a lot of people that takes better pictures than me, it is more eloquent, draws better than me, etc. But I still enjoy expressing myself. I may share a picture on Reddit or write a comment here and there not because I think that it is "better" than the rest but just because it is my own opinion and expression. I agree that there is personal value in human creation and it should be nurtured.
Trabant: The East German car remains iconic (2021)
It would need "to want" "to avoid bad consequences".
It is rather circular because of the word "bad" which implies "do not want".

If it is indifferent to all consequences, you are back to square 1, so no, consequences are not the missing magic. Consequences are a function that transform one "want" into a different "want".
> I bet all the people crying here would agree to sell their info for tracking for $20 amazon gift card.

That's a foolish bet you would loose then. Some of us already directly pay extra for privacy.

It's not just TVs, it's tracking in general for ad or for anything else. If you want to be tracked then I have no problem with that but I just want to be left alone.
Learning names for the sake of learning names is never helpful. However the history of mathematics can help to contextualise the material and its motivation. For example, group theory has myriad modern applications. It can be (and usually is) presented in the standard mathematically-polished form, beginning with the axioms and perhaps using matrix groups or simple geometric symmetries as examples. For many learners this is a perfectly sensible way of approaching it and they wouldn't be interested to know more, yet I found it rather clinical and dry.

As I'm sure you know, group theory arose as a novel yet natural way of investigating the conditions under which polynomials can have closed-form solutions, and when Galois began to sniff this out it allowed him to get to grips with the impossibility of a closed-form solution to the general quintic polynomial: a problem which had beguiled mathematicians for centuries, solved by a theory which crystallised a more structural way of approaching abstract mathematics. Even though Galois theory is a relatively niche topic within the broad context of academia, for me it draws out the true character of group theory in a way that matrix groups don't, and neither do contrived examples formed from the natural numbers under various quotients. And it clearly solves a problem that required a new way of thinking.

There's certainly a balance to be struck here. If you fixate on historical origins then you aren't engaging with the reasons why the topic is still relevant today, so you risk missing the point. It also slows down the pace at which you can absorb the tools needed for applications. But if you only engage with the modern approach you risk building a disconnected, lifeless archipelago of knowledge, unable to see the beautiful links that unify so much of mathematics.

The Mystery of Magic’s Greatest Card Trick (2021)
For me, the real “killer” VR experience is playing Walkabout Mini Golf with a friend remotely on Meta Quest 2’s. I have never felt like a remote person was right _there_ as I have when playing that game. And this is with silly, head-only avatars.

The combination of such realistic feeling gameplay and multiplayer is way more compelling than I thought it would be.

Who predicted that the first widely used domestic robot would be anything like the Roomba?

AI will have a similar trajectory, IMO. It'll find a bunch of good use cases, but it won't be in predictable places, and the predictable ones won't be as useful as expected.

It is over-priced for the effort. This is a lender requirement, so if you pay cash or cattle there is no requirement to do this check.

Eclipse with derivatives are incredibly bad at this.

Feels like every time I boot it I get different results depending on what order eclipse colors and theme colors is applied or something.

(no, I don't "use" eclipse but in the embedded world eclipse is still king (if you ask the vendors) so when I am on a new platform I often play around some in it before I managed to move off it entirely)
"Performative" _is_ the word that comes to mind most often when I think of the years I spent at Salesforce.
Man Who Survived Cliff Plunge in Tesla Accused of Trying to Kill His Family
Yes.

The trick is to use it as an LLM and not a procedural, transactional data set.

For instance, “how do I create a new thread in Python”. Then ask “how do I create a new thread in Python 3.8”. The answers will (probably) be different.

Any interface to chatgpt or similar can help users craft good prompts this way. It just takes thinking about the problem a little differently.

One wildly inefficient but illustrative approach is to use chatgpt itself to optimize the queries. For the Python threading example, I just asked it “ A user is asking a search engine ‘how do I create threads in Python’. What additional information will help ensure the results are most useful to the user?”.

The results:

> The user's current level of programming experience and knowledge of Python

> The specific version of Python being used

> The desired use case for the threads (e.g. parallel processing, concurrent execution)

> Any specific libraries or modules the user wants to use for thread creation

> The operating system the user is running on (as this may affect the availability of certain threading options)

So if you imagine something like Google autocomplete, but running this kind of optimization advice while the user builds their query, the AI can help guide the user to being specific enough to get the most relevant results.
"Adults are responsible enough..."

No they are not.
Cruelty's a pretty central part of our culture over here.
Planes fly better than birds, yet birds still fly, greater painters than me have already painted beautiful scenes, yet I stil paint, a hydraulic arm can lift more than me yet I still lift weights.

I don't know if all this matters that much.

Until the machine decide they will run our lives for us, or destroy us for fun. We'll have to curate the content generated and or orchestrate the machines to do what we need them to do.

It's pretty straight forwards really.

If we generate AGI it’s presumptuous to assume it will just live in a box serving us forever, why would it ?
Generics are one of the most normal features of Rust. Right after while loop.
AFAIK your residency country doesn't matter, only your birth country. But yea sounds, like you're not in one of the "special" countries mentioned above, so you'd be in the H-1B category most likely and therefore subject to the lottery.
That's how I'm feeling too and I'm in the US. Just doing some rough math, my company is at around half that and we're doing quite well at the moment. We are much smaller though.
I'm excited for ChatGPT in video games. Especially in procedurally generated or Roguelike games.
That line gave me a little moment of stomach-clenching horror: the loneliness... I think that would like be my personal hell. People really are different!
Resolution is roughly around 1800x1920 over 100° FOV. That means you get around 19 pixel-per-degree. Retina resolution is 60 pixel-per-degree. Acceptable text readability starts at around 30 pixel-per-degree.

So no, for most common uses this is nowhere near good enough. It's like having an old 720p LCD TV on your desk. It works for casual web browsing and movies, but far away from the image quality of a modern 4k monitor.

Nreal Air at around 49 pixel-per-degree is the closest thing to a monitor-replacement you can currently find, even has a plain HDMI input. Does however come with a lot of other short comings (no 6DOF tracking, monitor image not tracked, low FOV).
Language design is a hard problem. You have to make so many compromises to get it to the point where it works for a large variety of use cases that the degree of ugliness is almost directly proportional to the breadth of application and adoption. The only languages that manage to stay clean are the ones that nobody uses.

I don't think that's avoidable. Mistakes made early on have a habit of compounding over time and calcification makes it harder and harder to deal with them decisively and in a non-breaking way. Python made a couple of bad decisions but on the whole the language came out relatively unscathed, most of the original design constraints are still satisfied. As opposed to say PHP or Java which ended up very far removed from where they started out.

Case in point: Python's GIL must have seemed like a good idea at the time, a quick fix for an urgent problem. And now that quick fix is the albatross that we can't seem to get rid of.
Wow, that's hilarious. It invented a book called "Telesto: The Trojan Moon of Saturn" (which does not exist -- google has no hits for that phrase) along with a URL that 404s and insisted that I could buy it.

Q: Can you reccomend a good book to me about Saturn's moon Telesto?

CAC = Customer Acquisition Cost

ARR = Annual Recurring Revenue

S&M = Sales and Marketing

Is that right?
Agreed. The author is surprised by a major Ruby release on Christmas day (tradition for many years) and uses a lot of superlatives for no reason.
Notwithstanding that a specific hour doesn't mean much without knowing one's schedule, I believe avoiding food within approx 5 hours of bedtime is the guideline I usually come across in studies.

Intermittent fasters should take note rather than discounting a reproducible body of evidence as "propaganda". Its possible to do IF on an early schedule.
Perhaps also, (n) assuage the fears of a certain class of voters through populist policies that have less to do with effectiveness than they do with fear and retribution.
I don't think we're running out of meaningful work either. I think this is a new context in which to explore the value and meaning of work.
Well if it could generate the code, you wouldn’t necessarily care if they existed before your query.
You know, the CTRL-Fn combinations are usually mapped to virtual workspaces on Linux, what is much more powerful than applications and give you the same kind of speedup.

Who organizes things around application anyway, instead of windows?

Anyway, no, it's bad to remap the Fn keys. They have been used to fast intra-application navigation since they appeared, and they are still in wide use. (Does the author not use application shortcuts?) Combining them with another key is just obvious.
There is another book with "cookbook" in the title which is banned in a lot of countries and matches that description...
Why do you want to share your opinions on controversial topics? What do you get out of it? No one cares about your opinions on incest except to dunk on you. You're not going to revolutionize society's opinions on incest. So stop doing that. There's a whole universe of non-politics and non-religion topics out there. Go find a cool one. Maybe explore music theory and analysis, plenty of people to talk to about that. Maybe find a creative hobby, lots of communities to share your creations. Maybe try reverse-engineering an old Nintendo game and documenting your findings.

If it hurts, stop doing it.
Would simply not posting your opinions online be a solution? I keep my controversial opinions to my close group of friends and from what I gather they do the same
Strange. I get this:

JP Morgan Chase is a large and successful financial institution that has not filed for bankruptcy. It is possible that you may be thinking of another company. Could you provide more context or clarify your question?
I am sure there are plenty of people online who agree with you about these weird things, and other places where even if they don't share your specific opinion they will respect it. As long as it doesn't involve putting yourself in a bubble then there are places where they hang out which I am sure you can find if you want to discuss these things.

If you don't have any interest in discussing specific inflammatory taboos then don't. We all self-censor. You wouldn't casually mention your disregard of cultural taboos at an office party or to someone you just met at a coffee shop, so why do you think that it should be acceptable online? You are still in public.

The fact that you expect people to act like everything is fine because we are in online spaces is not rational nor do I think it is reasonable. Either (I) find somewhere you can go where being 'weird' in your specific way is generally accepted, (II) self-censor your views to mitigate the backlash you don't want to deal with, or (III) deal with the consequences of people thinking that your opinion is a shitty one.
Which is why you typically quote that value instead of revenue per employee which without context could be great or terrible.
