Uh... your third link is coverage of the same non-study being discussed, your second is an auto-generated link farm page that puts "study" in the title but doesn't even talk about one, and the first is a real study that absolutely does not substantiate what you're claiming.

Maybe link the "many more"?
Why is it useful? I would do ZZ to quit with saving, or :q! to quit without saving.

Incidentally, I find :w to be very inefficient to type (any : command really, but there are not normally the most common operations), for such a common operation. I wonder if people remap it.
Agreed, 70 USD probably has a healthy margin. But, I also value that it's been calibrated, tested for reliability, and is already designed/assembled.
I’ll admit it was a decent answer. However, even a somewhat bright person (especially someone with radio / networking experience) could probably have realized that was an issue without any prior knowledge of GPS. They know that their phone has a GPS receiver, and that satellite phones accessing geostationary or high altitude satellites are much bulkier. Clearly, your cell phone isn’t transmitting to each satellite.

How will future LLMs be able to conduct that level of reasoning?
Where are you getting this "duty of care" thing? That doesn't seem remotely similar to any of the legal arguments discussed in the article.

> You wouldn't be suing the USPS or AT&T for allowing the same thing, would you?

Those aren't analogous companies at all. Social media companies don't just deliver content, they promote specific content and optimize thier platforms to increase engagement.
I don't understand. What I perceive you to be saying here is that, if you receive a sealed search warrant, you're simply going to log the warrant in this document. But the warrant is going to require you not to log it. So, that's not so much a "warrant canary" as a "we're just going to defy the court" canary. I must be missing something!

> On the surface it seems some people think cities should stay entirely static forever, frozen at the particular time when they remembered they enjoyed it most.

I didn't say this.

> The people moving in will have their own experiences. Places change. If you don't like your place, work to make it better or find one you like more. Maybe not everyone in your city is into the arts and "scene" as much as you are, and the changes are a net benefit to them.

The tech people moving in make no effort to learn what the city is about or to integrate. That's really what I'm taking a stand on. They use money in lieu of real effort. That's pillaging.

The root of the problem is big corporations aren't held responsible for the seismic shockwaves they produce entering a city. They make cities fragile because now you've replaced a diverse set of businesses with a monocropping of tech workers and overpriced goods and services to sate them.

I'm talking about good stewardship.
i highly recommend the bullet! the batch size is great and the data logging and responsiveness with the induction heating is pretty amazing. i wasn't planning to upgrade but a local one went on sale for 2500 and i couldn't pass up the opportunity.
Not all issues are urgent. Most issues I encounter in my job are not urgent. Sometimes it's not even issues, perhaps just a random but interesting observation. It can be less distracting to the team to bring them up next time you have a regular team meeting scheduled, instead of blasting it into a slack channel or even calling a specific meeting. That's what sync ups are good for.

I've seen this sort of response a lot lately, both for GPT and all the image generators.

Google, and all the other search engines, literally show snippets of the original content to display search results, and have had copyright infringement lawsuits over this.

Yet somehow, it's taken these AI, which generally aren't just block-quoting things unless you ask them to (and often getting it wrong if you do), for non-lawyers to start asking that question.
> I dont know if that is the shining example of government protection, nor the indictment of free markets you think it is.

Notice I mentioned the FDA -- which has as a mandate to ensure safe food and drink, not the local official who had no such mandate and powered monied interested held more sway than poor dead infants. You use a local official as evidence of a regulatory body in a time when local officials were actors for industry -- and expect me to think you spent more than 3 seconds thinking critically about that?

> I am small l libertarian

And, like most libertarians, (who are not just closet fascists calling themselves libertarians because libertarians don't bother to exclude them), your definition of 'extreme' could be anything from 'driver's licenses' to 'not being able to sell your own children', so who knows what line you stand on. Whatever it is, I would like you to remove yourself from all of the government protections you disagree with and see how long you and your libertarian friends last. Hint -- it has been tried numerous times, and always ends in hilarity and completely predictable outcomes.

Just two off the top of my head...

> YIMBYs are quite often people who have a perceived narrow financial self-interest in reduced housing prices,

Are you suggesting NIMBYs aren't quite often people with a narrow financial self-interest in maintaining above-inflation rises in (mostly local) housing prices?

Because in my experience, NIMBYs are much more motivated by financial self-interest than YIMBYs.
>None of these projects owe anybody anything anyway

Do I owe them anything? Do I owe them silence, or to not complain, or to not tarnish their name?

Clearly as human beings we both owe each-other something, there is a social contract at play here. I'm sure you've seen the infamous "you have to decide if you're a gnome app or an everybody else app", and clearly that developer thought other projects owed them something.

But if you're just going to say "well gnome is immune from criticism because they're (paid) open source volunteers", well then what's the point of even talking to anyone? It's an amazing example of a thought-terminating cliche.

Somehow when I'm bad mouthing gnome I owe the gnome project my silent support though. It is a mystery.
No I don't think it does. The paperwork they sign when they get their security clearances put those people in a special circumstance. American journalists, not having security clearances, are allowed to spill the beans on national secrets.
Is there a way to disuade users from blindly trusting responses? Such as unavoidable caveats, make no attempt to provide depth and instead strongly recommend reliable research?

And as a logical aside: if AI can't be trusted, we shouldn't trust AI's recommendations for reliable sources either.
They announced it to The Information, anonymously, in a leak.

Personally, I believe the future of search is video. Most of the world uses mobile devices, and video is better on mobile devices than text.

This is why Google and TikTok are shifting to short-form video for search.

This was a good write up as it contained criteria and points for "defining life", it was nice to have a refresher on the meaning of "entropic" life as well.

I've often thought if complex extraterrestrial beings were discovered they may not "look" much different than anything found on earth, since the spectrum is so vast on this planet (bacteria, plants, mammals, cephalopods, etc.) - considering the universal confines of physics and locomotion.
Isn't there something special about crab/spider anatomy as well and it being very "evolutionarily stable" or something? Cannot recall any papers or information on specifics here at the moment.

Meanwhile, I always laugh watching old Twilight Zone episodes and how they have regular humans playing aliens - they don't even bother to differentiate them as a species (likely because of available technology) but think this can work well in a way.

The steering wheel should be the primary interface for the driver. Controls volume, cruise control, etc. The only dashboard options are A/C, which you could technically get on a steering wheel too. The hazard lights could be a single button as well, doesn't need to be on the dashboard either.

Otherwise everything else can be on a big touch screen. You could also have an Alexa style system for when you're driving and can't look ("Alexa, turn down the "AC").
You're seeing shorts on YT is because Google has changed their ranking algorithm.

It seems that the quality of shorts has really declined lately. It's almost as if they are being made with the assumption that the only audience they will have is comprised of members of the gen-z generation, who are known for having short attention spans and being easily captivated by quick, sensational videos. These types of videos often feature someone doing something seemingly ordinary, like crossing the street, but with a dramatic caption promising that the viewer won't be able to believe what happens next if they continue watching. It's truly sad to see the decline in quality of these shorts, and the reliance on cheap tricks to grab and hold onto the viewer's attention.
That's why in some respects, I think the sheer clunkiness of "according to website.com, claude shannon is..." or "ok, I've found this on the web..." in the current consumer tech is better than anonymous, authoritative somewhat novel answers than might be the internet's consensus opinion or might just be a vaguely relevant word vector structured like an answer
So yes, you’ll probably want to take a model trained on math problems to forgoe the step with code.

But then, note that writing correct programs is indeed a high level solution to a full text math problem, is it not? Going from there to solving it directly should be a matter of some tuning.

Finally, who said understanding math?

The whole debate is about getting shockingly useful results precisely without symbolic reasoning.

If the main contention is that got does not do symbolic reasoning, then we are back at Gary Marcus… yes we know this. It’s not why researchers are so amazed by these models. Its that they output steps (or in this case code since its Codex based) solving university level math with a simple transformer architecture

Yeah sad but true. I think cursive is still taught for a year or two in elementary school but after that it's not required and most kids just print or develop their own personal blend of printing/cursive handwriting.

I still take notes by hand, on paper, using cursive. I prefer a quality wood pencil and a separate rubber-type eraser for note-taking. For writing text, typing is faster but for note-taking during lectures or presentations I find handwriting more effective, as I can quickly add drawings and arrows and other notation as needed.
At some point, if you stretch the definition of life too far, what's the point? Like, what's the point of saying a rock is alive? We've got them everywhere, we know they exist everywhere but we can't really do anything with that info.

Knowing something is alive gives us a basis for interacting with it. Saying we found life on Mars isn't important because we found life there. It's important because it challenges or confirms our expectations about so many other things.

It's kind of like shooting hoops. The hoop stays in the same place and we try and throw the ball into it from different angles. Each angle we can throw it in from teaches us something new. If you took that hoop and just decided that you get a point by moving the hoop to the ball instead, what does that actually help us with?

Another way of saying it. If everyone is a superhero, then nobody is.
> You're probably right, but who's going to actually do that?

I do, every single time. I place my phone screen-side down in the space in front of my gear shift, under the dash, and I don't even touch it if the car isn't in park. I never look at the screen for GPS or anything when I'm driving. I rely on memorizing the route before I drive, and TTS announcements for upcoming turns. If the phone notifies me of an incoming call or text, I pull over before checking it.

I don't think this is unreasonable. If you've been driving for 20 years or so already, then surely you know what it's like to drive like this. What it's like to drive without interacting with a screen, without GPS at all in fact. We had these things called road atlases, big books containing maps for every road in the state, and using one while actively driving was tantamount to suicide. Somehow we all still got where we wanted to go.
20 megapixels is 5000x4000 which is unpractical, and always scaled down on the web. The phone lens aperture might be too small to capture meaningful details beyond a certain distant from the camera, so 20 megapixels is probably physically overkill anyway.

Also, post/processing on the phone lightens underexposed regions and darkens regions that would be overexposed, and then evens white balance to a "nice" contrast.

So, understandably, people can find cameras with better optics and "raw" images better for artistic use.
For what it's worth, two of the banned admins were checkusers and bureaucrats:

https://xtools.wmflabs.org/ec-rightschanges/ar.wikipedia.org...

https://xtools.wmflabs.org/ec-rightschanges/ar.wikipedia.org...

I don't know whether either of them used checkuser rights inappropriately, and I have seen no allegation that they did.
I can see that being true for the top 5% (arbitrarily chosen small %) of difficult translations with professional requirements, but I think for the vast majority of day-to-day translation between the major languages (maybe only within the same language family), it is already sufficient and improving.

I only have the anecdata of my friends and myself, but we have yet to encounter a casual conversation type translation that DeepL or Google translate have failed on for Spanish <-> English <-> French. Granted, it doesn't always return the most optimal translation, but it has always given the intended core idea.
How does "power of attorney" have any relevance here?

The argument is simply that the school district has suffered damages from specific behavior by the social media companies, that has nothing to with an ability to make decisions on the student's behalf.
I'm not sure if its a big contributing factor, but prices for film stuff are very high now. Ten years ago you could get an olympus stylus epic with the prime lens for like $25 dollars, now I see examples on ebay going for $300. These digital cameras are the new $25 old camera now. It's also not cheap to buy and develop a roll of film, compared to buying a cf card reader.
> Because hiding complexity doesn't make it go away). Try adopting [..] context managers (pooling, chunking, freeing in batches etc.), this can reduce the amount of boilerplate to a minimum

"don't hide complexity in small, single-purpose, composable containers, instead hide complexity in hulking behemoths which can consume months of refactorings & iterations" ?

That's not simplifying your code to be generic. That's adopting a particular framework & coding style. Which yes, you have to do in C, but you're doing that because of language issues. You're not saving yourself from "language cleverness"
Sorry if I was unclear but this was in no way a criticism of your excellent product. It is truly fantastic.

It was an unrelated comment that popped up in my head when reading "my 8 years old daughter is learning to code". And it was a "yay!" - because programming helps with math concepts afterward.

I am not a mathematician (PhD in physics, long time forgotten) so I see maths as a useful toolbox to solve problems I can describe. Some of the tools are wonderful and I dream of them at night (analysis, mostly), and some are blobs I poke with a stick when I have to (algebra, geometry mostly).

The 'NSI' option in high school is a new one, and one of the modern ones. It is useful later (no matter where you actaully study) so I am glad that someone at the ministry is using futurecoder as a reference. When Python was introduced a few years ago, it was done in the typical "let's put some boring theory first to make them hate us" fashion and it is wonderful this is changing.
The additional cpu to gpu to cpu round trip time I'm guessing?
It would be helpful for me if there was clearer public communication about how recommendable the flu vaccine is in any given year. It varies a lot because some years they've correctly guessed the circulating strains and in other years they haven't. I'm happier to get vaccinated in years where we can expect (a) the circulating strains to be bad and (b) the vaccine being effective against it.

Well, in hardware engineering and on the lower levels of software you may well have to keep it in mind:

Wrote a blog post on this one about a year ago that has a list of what I've seen: https://staysaasy.com/product/2022/02/19/enterprise-selling-...

Overall though I would heed the advice of others in this thread and focus on the buyer/customer. Enterprise SaaS is all about effective (note – not even necessarily elegant) solutions to important business problems. Absolutely everything else is secondary until you're at a larger scale.

Just as an example this blog post was written with post-traction / scaling startups in mind because before then everything on your mind should just be buyer/buyer/buyer. Even past $100m ARR it should still be buyer/buyer/scaling.
I am absolutely with you. Total apathy. I can’t do anything. My 100% waste goes to local recycling system. I pick up thrash when I am in the nature and bring home. Even left by others. I avoid synthetic clothing and wear only when I really need it. And still micro plastic in the air everywhere. How is this happening!?
ChatGPT is miles above Google search for me when it comes to learning the "hello world" of just about anything at this point.

From there it's a simple prompt of where to go next and asking for references to work that dig deeper.

Even if it's wrong, it almost doesn't matter because I can just say "are you sure?" given this extra information, and it corrects itself. Even then if it's still wrong you can prompt it in a ways to give you potential search terms to put into Google.
I'll also add that it has been copied and rehosted, with my help. There's a slightly customised French version here: https://futurecoder.forge.aeif.fr/

This version is meant for maximum user privacy. firebase has been disabled completely so you can't sign up or login and nothing is stored online. There's also no google analytics.

The code is in https://forge.aeif.fr/futurecoder/futurecoder.forge.aeif.fr It's essentially just a mirror of the main repo with its own build process and configuration.
The bill is already largely footed by MS probably. OpenAI and MS are a partnership and they run on azure cloud.
I think that just indicates it's more blatant. With search engine results I can click through to the original source. That's attribution, at least to the laymen. ChatGPT has no such thing.
Any year before 1980
I want to add here that I'm building an app at the moment with code solely generated through prompts for ChatGPT. So far, except for a few issues and manual refactoring, it has done very well.

ChatGPT even apologized when it suggested proprietary Firebase, when I told it to use Supabase instead.
I use the following in my vimrc so I can just use semicolon instead.

Meshtastic sounds like what you want, but sending images over LoRa is probably gonna clog the bandwidth and annoy people.

No, I am saying that if we receive a "normal" warrant we will log it in the canary in the signed portion.

A normal warrant, or a "normal" order for search or seizure, etc., is not out of bounds in a free society - we will happily comply with such lawful orders which have proper jurisdiction, etc.

We will also log them, publicly, as is our right. It just so happens that as of today we have never received such a warrant or order so the canary contains zero of them.

However, if we receive a NSL or other such "gagged" orders then we will need to consult with our principals and legal counsel, directors, etc. and that takes time.

The canary will surely expire as we perform that due diligence.

See also, below, my characterization of the warrant canary not as a legal hack or nose-thumbing, but as a poison pill provision that we ingested 17 years ago.

> I wouldn't use my phone at all, I'd use my X100T

That’s what I’m actually doing. My Pixel 3 died suddenly in November 2021. Since it was an emergency, I bought a cheap phone with a horrible camera, intending to upgrade it quickly and taking photos with my X100T in the meantime. A year later and I’m still using that setup. The camera is portable enough to take it everywhere, the processing presets are good enough for me, and I have the RAW files available just in case. I’m probably in the minority of people who would do something like this, but I’m pretty happy so far.
