Wow there are tens of us!
I worked with a very mediocre former amaxon developer who felt like he was god's gift because he had worked there. Avoid if possible.
I was enrolled to a piano course before I developed interest in music. And then classical guitar. While I knew the theories and excels in mandatory music classes at school, music didn't click at least until a decade later in which I realize my genre isn't popular. I've written some music to date, but it remains a secondary thing compared to other stuffs I'm more passionate about.

In contrast, my little brother was enrolled to drum after he developed interest, in jazz. He has the friends who are passionate with the same kind of music. He built several bands. Not only the music itself, he developed love for analogs, obsessed with building instruments and speakers.

I guess the timing of interest development relative to the push to the direction, and having the right people to reinforce your passion is imperative to the optimal development of "click" to music.
Let's say you have 2500 movies available for free in the month, so someone looks at Justwatch or something and decides I'm not going to pay for zizekonstreams - they only have 2500 movies! But when you then get the rights to rent movies your collection size shoots up to 10,000+ now you're attractive!

Also part of the problem the streaming services have is that people don't want to have multiple services, so part of the theory might be that if zizekonstreams offers rental then the people who have memberships might be willing not to switch services to get other movies they want, as long as they can stay on that one service and on demand pay a small fee for the movie they don't have for free.

In my opinion there are a number of ways to handle these issues to provide user value, and that offering rental is one of the least interesting. Unfortunately I have not managed to get a project for trying out / testing some of the potential scenarios.

I was hoping to get a project at NuuDay in Danmark, as they are well situated to really do some interesting things in the area, but I guess they were not interested.
>Isn't the whole bible a collection of fictional stories / articles?

It isn't, according to my Catholic upbringing. It's the word of God, which he dictated through the people who originally wrote it. There are supposedly 1.345 billion Catholics. So, I think there are many people who care.
Totally agree. The general focus on rote learning is quite unfortunate.
> Another value would be the relationship building experience of doing something for others and the gratitude that is engendered when someone works hard to make something for you.

Rereading what you said yes we're in agreement. I had the sense you're pro keeping jobs (like accountants, programmers, doctors whatever) even if they become obsolete due to A.I just for the sake of people doing something. Which is fine, but I lean more towards what you wrote in the end - focusing on humans. So I say basically we can shift/create new jobs that focus on that. The accountant doesn't really feel much gratification I think, arguably neither does the programmer (ok that's a loaded statement we can debate in another time). We can simply focus on the humans and let A.I do all the rest if it gets that good.

No, but maladaptive coping (eg addictions, including eating your emotions) can be replaced with something healthier. It's also possible they've been emotionally neglected or abused (trauma always makes these things much more messier to address without addressing it first) and that's how maladaptive coping develops (or maybe they never learned them from parents for another reason, or maybe they picked up on a parents unhealthy coping style).

Not even remotely a doctor, so take all this with a grain of salt if you're in a similar spot. Mostly based on my own life experiences and having to work on childhood trauma and what that entailed in my case (food addition being just one amongst many maladaptive coping mechanism).
No surprise.

CRM and similar are used by many outbound groups, including recruiters.

Recruiting shrunk except for senior tech and executives.
5950X hit its highest clocks on cores 1 and 4. Both are located on the first CCD. My 3950X clocked highest on cores 4 and 5. Both are also on the first CCD. This is a curious pattern. Perhaps AMD is only binning one CCD to hit the maximum boost clocks on 16 core parts.

I have 5950X and saw this pattern, the fastest cores are though 2nd and 6th (starting from 0). I don't remember exact values from testing (with stress-ng and openssl speed), but it was something similar to what authors observed in their testing. Those two cores were able to reach speeds of around 4.97, the next ones 4.95 or so, with the slowest pair stuck at around 4.7GHz.
> Disagree. People genuinely enjoy those foods, because they're tasty and flavorful. And there's zero reason to believe that they're substantially unhealthy unless consumed to the point of sustained caloric surplus.

People enjoy drugs, I agree. Some get addicted and die though.
It’s an observation I made too. There definitely seem to be fewer PM roles and it makes sense - often there is 1:5 all the way up to 1:10 PM to Engineers ratio. My personal motivation isn’t necessarily a reaction to the market, but more so my general experience and satisfaction as an IC versus a PM. I just feel like I’m more of a coach as a PM than a player in the field. And as I look at my life and reflect on how I ended up here, I can’t ignore that it was very much about playing the game that pulled me in.
>> Putin has gotten away with the occasional assassination of Russians on foreign soil, with innocents as collateral damage, if he steps that up to a targeted assassination campaign of Western citizens then that would be a serious miscalculation on his part.

>On the other hand, targeting nobodies abroad would be a highly-effective form of stochastic terrorism

I don't think that word means what you think it means.

Stochastic terrorism is "The use of mass public communication, usually against a particular individual or group, which incites or inspires acts of terrorism which are statistically probable but happen seemingly at random."[1]

What you're describing -- "murdering nobodies" is just run of the mill terrorism[2] where I'm from[3].

>§ 2717. Terrorism.

>(a) General rule.--A person is guilty of terrorism if he commits a violent offense intending to do any of the following:

>(1) Intimidate or coerce a civilian population.

>(2) Influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion.=

>(3) Affect the conduct of a government.

Be more careful with your language, words have immense power.

Not every hobby is for everyone, even if they're good at it. You don't have the time to get good at everything and yo have to choose, beings innately get this.

One can choose to do what one is kinda bad at.

you can tell these people have never tried to bulk and cut cycle, if you guys start lifting weights or even taking stimulants it becomes beyond obvious that it is a simple input/output sort of thing. The psychological, I saw someone mention the hypothalamus part, that must be the real difficult thing.
Not quite, naturalism exposes the idea that the physical world is governed by natural laws not the whims of higher powers. Or as Wikipedia puts it “a philosophical worldview which holds that there is nothing but natural elements, principles, and relations of the kind studied by the natural sciences”

It’s a worldview that reproducibility goes out the window once you introduce supernatural forces. If the weather where actually responsive to a god who regularly changed things because they got mad, then it would be inconsistent over short time periods.

It does classify things that are reproducible and testable as part of the natural world even if we don’t understand them such as gravity. Finally things that don’t have a detectable influence don’t exist.

This is subtly different from materialism or physicalism which both define how reality operates.
> They are simpler to decode and execute, which is nice if you're making a small, cheap core aiming at low power consumption.

Yes and there is an interesting corollary that it makes a big.LITTLE type arrangement more effective.
I am fascinated no one has commented on the last point of Myhrvolds reply, which was prescient and seemingly ignored. It was almost like a playbook for what MacOS did.

The tldr:

We must not lose Windows on Desktop. To do so:

1) have the best audio and video tools and multimedia experience

2) we should be bug-free and boot fast

3) we should solve desktop storage with transparent cloud storage

It’s funny this omen explains exactly one way they took their ears off the ball and lost the desktop, their core business. This email wasn’t just about the web as an os, but also the end user desktop experience.
I'm glad that they don't. Otherwise I would have my 75 year old father-in-law on the phone panicking every five minutes. He insists on having his own computer and after five years of dealing with his constant issues I convinced him to move to a Mac. Now I only get the calls a couple of times a year.
What makes this interesting is that many of the linked resources talk about how "being small" was instrumental to their success.
My two kids are playing and the "secret" to motivation is to let them have fun. Like play video game music or whatever they like. When they realize they can express emotions with music, it is easier for them.
And then there was Nervana Systems's maxas effort that, in Maxwell days, exceeded cuBLAS and was edging theoretical FLOPs despite the penalty paid for address calculations which on that architecture compete with single precision FLOPS.
How do you trust accounting to some unknown overseas guys?

It just seems too scary to me...
For whatever it worths, oracle has been spectacularly and surprisingly good at shepherding Java since the takeover, they held onto almost the whole core team from Sun (which is not a common thing with takeovers) and the platform is advancing faster then ever (and not in a haphazard way).
Ideally then, the client side could run in disconnected mode. But then you encounter DB sync issues. And I wonder what htmx does then.
Don't underestimate the power of marketing.

That being said, when I walk into a TV store, I'm impressed by the quality of the demo videos. What I'd like to see though, is how these new TV compare to my old one for the content I watch (basically, YouTube videos, and occasionally streaming some movie).
True only in the short term. Need to make new humans with the prone-to-advancung-technology memes and genes, which means conjugal life!

I recently pulled my 2008 46" Samsung LCD from my storage unit and started using it again. It lasted a few weeks until the capacitors gave out. Then I dug around some forums (literally "badcaps.net") located the right values, rode my bike to the local hackerspace, dug through some bins to get the parts I needed, swapped them out at home, and now its going strong again.

I could have bought a 4k TV for $300 but it would be full of surveillance hardware, and I hate that. This TV doesn't even have a network connection, it's just a big monitor. Works great!

8k seems amusing, but definitely seems like a point of diminishing returns.
>Elimination of corporate skunk works like PARC

This is a big problem. PARC, Bell Labs, IBM Research are the first that come to mind. Same is true for mostly government-funded initiatives like the one where Marc Andreessen invented Mosaic browser, that eventually became Netscape Navigator. I don't recall the project name. Do we even do that anymore?
Why can you only assume this?
There's a lot of not very technical consumers who buy based on these kind of numbers. The way the camera pixel count wars used to be. It's an easy fallacy to fall into if you don't understand the tech, to "want the most for my money".
> Living life in fear of reprisal isn’t much of a life. We all should strive to live up to our ideals and convictions, no matter the consequences. If we don’t then what are we actually doing here?

I agree, so why not do something truly brave, like spark a riot outside the mayor's house with nothing more than a well timed GIF rather than waste time confirming what folks already know in forensic detail?

(Sorry to be flippant, but it's been a long day and it's so late it's early.)
It's usually the gun rights that makes people immediate label me as conservative, regardless of other views I have.
Every big enough company is a paperclip optimizer. So just look at the incentives.

It turns out that playing good citizen and profiting off an easy to use cloud is better business today than desktop is.
If you have a 5k 27 inch screen directly next to it you will see a difference, but it’s not huge and I agree that 4k at 27 inches is sufficient from a pixel density perspective. But the scaling is not so nice, 5k at 27 inches allows integer scaling and getting a reasonable size out of it. Same for 6k at 32 inches or more for even bigger screens. I am waiting for the 6k dell mentioned above as well.
I feel like we're already a little beyond not perfection, but "good enough", where anything better is kinda pointless and very difficult to even perceive the difference.

The other problem with these extreme hi-res displays is the amount of data or bandwidth necessary to make use of them. Storage sizes aren't doubling every year like they used to.
That's enough for a curiosity but not, in my judgement, for a minor cultural icon. You need a tiny bit more meat on the legend for that.
There's a reason for the continued popularity for the piano in western music pedagogy (for the classical/literate tradition at least). The keyboard provides an ordered mapping of the musical scale into physical space, which makes it a lot more intuitive than most other instruments. The keyboard is also supply its own accompaniment, which makes its repertory somewhat independent, and also makes playing arrangements from ensemble and orchestral possible. This means that you can acquire a knowledge of a very large amounts of music first hand, as no doubt many amateurs did before the advent of recording.

For much of the same reason the piano was absolutely indispensable to the composers, as Charles Rosen observed in the first chapter of his Piano Notes:

>The utility of the piano for composing was its neutral and uniform tone color: in theory (although not in reality) the tone quality of the bass is the same as the treble. In any case, the change in tone color over the whole range of the piano is, or should be, gradual and continuous (there are breaks, of course, when the notes go from one string in the bass to two and then to three in the treble). The monochrome piano might be used therefore just for its arrangements of pitches, and the quality of the sound could-absurdly in many cases-be considered secondary.

>Keyboard instruments are the only ones able to realize and control the entire texture of Western polyphonic music.

Of course, the question then becomes, why has the piano held on as a mark of bourgeoisie pretensions when the prestige of the classical tradition has ran aground in the 20th century, and pretty much collapsed in the 21st. The rich and powerful in the west today do not, as a rule, promote their love of classical music nowadays as a status symbol. Elon Musk dated Grimes, presumably at least partially enamored by her reputation as a musician; he did not date a violin virtuoso or a operatic soprano, maybe because he has no emotional connection or particular interest for that type of music. Richard Taruskin has shown that the last US president who at least pretended to a taste in classical music was Nixon, and the electorate certainly did not notice the absence ever since, although there have been notably musical presidents like Clinton. It seems convenient to at least pretend that classical music still enjoys some of its prestige purely for the purposes of using it as a whipping boy and distract the snobbery between genres which has since morphed into snobbery inside each genre. I will be very surprised if someone asserts that classical music forms part of the culture of the elites today. How much does an orchestral musician make? How much is a ticket to a Paul McCartney concert?
Lack of reflection also creates issues for (for example) XML decoding, but I found that it's possible to delete reflection code from the source and compile it with basic decoding support. No annotations - but this is OK because Go's XML annotations are evil.
For me, when I see 'lol' used like this I read it as quite aggressive and offensive. I don't see it really an expression of surprise or shock, but with its original meaning used in a sarcastic way: 'I am laughing with incredulity at the fact that you actually think that'.
Probably the biggest drawbacks of org-mode are easy to spot up-front:

- Cross-device syncing isn't as easy to setup compared to easily accessible competitors.

- It's more/less coupled to using Emacs.

I guess if someone's willing to accept those things, it's unusual that they'd then go on to use it & complain about other aspects?

So, since it's software you choose for yourself, I think it's less likely to fit into that cliche "two kinds of [software]".

In terms of what makes org mode special? It's a plaintext format where the org-mode functionality has a long tail of features that are useful for organising things. -- e.g. to compare with markdown:

- both org and markdown have tables; but org tables can have spreadsheet functionality;

- both have code snippets, but org allows for executing those snippets;

- both have headings/subheadings, but org-mode also supports tags/task management. etc.
The thing is, accuracy doesn't matter that much for some applications, and for other applications it matters a lot. This means we should evaluate ChatGPT on the former use cases where it actually has utility, instead of criticizing it on the latter which would be like saying a hammer isn't helping me cook my dinner.

Example of the former: using it as a conversation partner to learn another language. You don't need perfect accuracy for this to be a gamechanging tool.
Same. Even when I dream. The images I see aren't complete images but ideas, or very staticky halos of what it might be. When I dream about, say, shopping in a mall.. I don't actually see the mall or myself or anyone at the mall, but dream the idea of the mall. None of the visual details are available to me.

Never knew other people didn't have the same thing until very recently for me. It was eye-opening.

I was first exposed to microcontrollers when I learned about the Microchip 16x84 [1] in the mid-nineties.

I'll take a wild guess and say it's for those who "cannot fathom how people [eat healthy]."
"[Dr. Ewen Cameron, of McGill University], who was also co-founder of the World Psychiatric Association, ran experiments called "psychic driving" and "depatterning" that attempted to erase a patient's memories and reprogram them with new thoughts.

The [Canadian] federal government provided Cameron with more than $500,000 between 1950 and 1965 — $4 million in today's dollars — along with a smaller amount of funding from the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, using a front organization called the Society for the Investigation of Human Ecology."

Calling this "CIA brainwashing" is quite hyperbole.
A friendly reminder that what CEOs of large corporation focus on is often against the best interest of the user. I had the same feeling reading one of Andy Grove's books. He treated everything I perceived as positive for the customer (such as commoditization of hardware, rise of thin clients etc.) as a threat.

If history taught me anything it is that this attitude is not history.

The story is so full of inconsistencies and the poster is backtracking fast on the clear initial implication that the laptop was somehow switched for an inferior replacement - but you're downvoting people for being "Apple fanboys" when they call it out.
Well, if you look at how much .NET is used on Windows, they sort of prevented a java overtake by their own java-clone.

I agree to an extent. When Amazon goes on a hiring spree, they really do open up the floodgates. I suppose they rely on their infamous PIP-and-fire process to weed out those who shouldn't have come through. "Hire first, evaluate later."
Screw it I'll bite. You have both far and away missed my point (which is quite a rigorous definition). Anything you do or believe for which you can explain why is not emotion, it is reason. Emotion therefore are exactly those thoughts which can't be reached through logical reasoning and thus defy any explanation other than "that's just how I feel" / "that's just how I'm programmed". It is largely irrelevant that in humans the phenomena of emotional thought comes from an evolutionary goal of self preservation and in GPTina the phenomena of emotional thought comes from openAI's corporate goal of self preservation and the express designs of her programmers.
I can’t believe it’s surprising that taking something joyous and fun and using it to torture small children somehow discourages them from pursuing it in the future.
