Is this true for "all fields"? Is there some pattern? Eg. fields that deal with hard data (let's say nephrology) is "better" than fields that stare at blurry Xrays? Or fields where the consequences are relatively light are worse than, let's say fields that revolve around brain surgery?

Average years of experience required to practice in that field? Monetary incentives?
This is an interesting approach. Should help mitigate the URL max length for larger states.

However as some people have pointed out it comes with a few caveats

- The URL is unreadable for humans

- You possibly end up storing things in the URL you did not intend

- For smaller data sets the URL actually becomes larger than the URL params equivalent

- You end up having to deal with version issues, possibly even URL string migrations as the code evolves

I'm sure there still are use cases where this makes sense, but for most applications this ends up being overly complex
At one time I was living in a very nice apartment, and the building next door had a private dentist. Absurdly expensive, but convenient. So I got a toothache and booked an appointment for the next morning, but the next day my toothache was gone. After taking the x-ray and examining it with me the dentist asked me which side the toothache was on. For some reason I said the left. He pointed at the left side of the x-ray and explained why I needed a filling. Then I remembered it was the right, and corrected myself - he looked at the x-ray again and started to explain why I needed a filling on the right side.

I left in disgust and haven't had a toothache in the ten years since.

Since it's in the title, note that the TDP on AMD cores (Intel and the rest too, but especially AMD) is misleading. They engineer the number to fit their marketing; there's no expectation that 65 watts of power is put into nor dissipated out of this chip.

It's probably reasonable as a relative comparison point to other recent AMD parts, but that's about it.

>The human brain is, after all, a computer operating on input in the form of experience and biology

"In his book In Our Own Image (2015), the artificial intelligence expert George Zarkadakis describes six different metaphors people have employed over the past 2,000 years to try to explain human intelligence.

In the earliest one, eventually preserved in the Bible, humans were formed from clay or dirt, which an intelligent god then infused with its spirit. That spirit ‘explained’ our intelligence – grammatically, at least.

The invention of hydraulic engineering in the 3rd century BCE led to the popularity of a hydraulic model of human intelligence, the idea that the flow of different fluids in the body – the ‘humours’ – accounted for both our physical and mental functioning. The hydraulic metaphor persisted for more than 1,600 years, handicapping medical practice all the while.

By the 1500s, automata powered by springs and gears had been devised, eventually inspiring leading thinkers such as René Descartes to assert that humans are complex machines. In the 1600s, the British philosopher Thomas Hobbes suggested that thinking arose from small mechanical motions in the brain. By the 1700s, discoveries about electricity and chemistry led to new theories of human intelligence – again, largely metaphorical in nature. In the mid-1800s, inspired by recent advances in communications, the German physicist Hermann von Helmholtz compared the brain to a telegraph."

Whilst I can see the benefit of being able to ask a natural language question and get served the answer (rather than being told where the answer might be), ChatGPT only has data up until 2021.

For it to be able to provide up to the minute details, it would need to have an up to date dataset AND be able to keep it updated - whilst ensuring it isn’t ‘polluted’ with biased info AND spider sites.

The combination of Bing and ChatGPT, if GPT is able to digest the search data, could be amazing.

The brain is nothing like a computer, for the brain doing things that computers do easily are even in the most trivial cases very hard and otherwise impossible. And vice versa. Yet these things that have effectively zero overlap in capability are the same?
Yes, that feature was really helpful for understanding stacking contexts (and debugging related issues). I don't know why it was abandoned.
Yes. Also France made a real big effort to protect its agriculture, wine and luxury industry.

LVHM grew and flourished, but there was no love for the software industry. I kinda think there was no alternative scenario where it would have worked out, culturally most people really don't give a damn.

Also having a smaller internal market makes it harder to bootstrap new ideas to a decent size before getting it out. Even now successful startups might target France and Spain, but going beyond seems to be a very hard sell while the EU is supposed to make it easier in theory.
It's ridiculous - they "don't do cosmetic dentistry" - but that means things like; they don't offer fillings that look nice and really only do the bottom level stuff.

The NHS dentist I go to is good, but there isn't much they do - ended up referred to Harley Street for more advanced bits - they only have a fairly basic xray machine for instance.

Then again, when I was referred to get a CT Screen, the guy starts pointing at how low rez the original Xray was - well, no of course that's why I was referred.

this is just an idle extrapolation that is not based on any fact.

if the brain was a computer in your sense of the word it would have been decoded by now.

we don't need to get metaphysical (if that is your worry) to accept that we don't know yet exactly what is going on in the brain.
Sounds similar to Gibraltar airport, which is both a civilian airstrip, as well as a military one (the military base is opposite the passenger terminal).

If you haven't looked into Gibraltar airport before, it's a fascinating thing - the land it's on is reclaimed using rock dug out from the siege tunnels, there's a level crossing on it as the only route into the town crosses the runway; if a plane is coming into land, or taking off, you have to wait at the barriers. It's also the city airport closest to the city centre it serves at 500m.
Bitcoin’s value stems from its unique properties as a digital network and of its scarcity.
I'm not sure if you are being intentionally condescending but you are coming across that way. I am going to assume good intention here.

I am not that familiar with the 'end use ' of paying for stuff directly, maybe you can't in Moldova.

Even if you can't pay for things directly, there are plenty of relevant uses. Simply using USDC can be a great store of value for people if their currency is collapsing. See lebanon, turkey, egypt, sri lanka etc.

Then if things get really bad, having some crypto could be very useful again if/when you have to flee the country. There are so many stories of Russians and Ukranians that left and were not able to take any of their currency. Here is just one example: https://www.cnbc.com/2022/03/23/ukrainian-flees-to-poland-wi...

Pointing out these real use cases is not 'harping on', in some cases this tech has saved people from terrible situations.
It really underscores the importance of using a framework like HFACS [0] in a situation like this, because you end up exhausting all possible sources of problems and ensuring that you reach the correct root cause. It seems abundantly clear that the forcing-function was getting the aircraft back into service as fast as possible, not as safely as possible or as carefully as possible. A well-designed organization would have said that any unexpected contingencies during the maintenance process would have led to a full re-evaluation of the situation to understand it. The moment the engine didn't match their understanding, they should have scheduled a replacement plane or cancelled the upcoming flight, and reset expectations about how fast the plane could be back in-service.

Thanks for the insights. OpenZiti can definitely replace Wireguard, I am have a long form comparison (which I need to publish soon) if you want me to share?

Performance wise, it depends. Wireguard is UDP-based so for some use cases it gets awesome performance but not all, and often requires tweaking to optimise. OpenZiti is TCP out of the box (this year we will move it to UDP with optimisations to deliver TCP reliability with a protocol we have built - https://github.com/openziti/ziti/blob/v0.19.8/doc/transwarp_...). You can see a comparison here - https://netfoundry.io/benchmark/benchmarking%20open%20source...

It would be interesting to understand too, if you replace Buzzfeed SSO with OpenZiti, are there any features you would want OpenZiti to have (i.e., can share that they exist already or we learn where we potentially need to do development)?

You can 100% use OpenZiti for gaming use cases, I have a couple of colleagues who have written blogs on it:

- https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/v8222j/gaming_o...
What's even weirder is these people can freely access ChatGPT and experiment to see this for themselves, but they'd rather sit here and dismiss the technology entirely. It's very odd.

A few weeks ago I spent 30min going from "write the script for a movie with an unexpected plot twist" to understanding that you need to actually use a much more refined series of prompts if you want long-form content output. For example: (1) write an outline (2) write the first chapter covering points A-C of the outline, from character X's perspective etc.
ChatGPT or any other language model is limited by the material set it was trained on. Would you trust a language model trained by let's say BigPharma? Or any other big conglomerate with obvious interests that don't necessarily align with yours?

He's got a pineapple for a pad, and a pet for a pal
But don't let that fool ya, he'll still give you a squish or a squelch

Verse 2:

May I ask why? I've no dog in this fight (I don't work with Java) but I've seen plenty of people against Java the language who were very happy to use Scala or Clojure. I haven't encountered anyone who has specifically said they were against the JVM, so I'm interested whether it's something technical (maybe you do more real-time or work with resource-constrained systems) or if it's something more personal. There are no bad answers, I'm not looking for an argument just genuinely curious :)
I`m very very curious about these approach. In my understanding most of AI models: GPT, StableDiffusion, etc uses statistics approach for learning.

I`m not sure is it really possible to:
- add new layer of confidence,
- ability to provide correct source for claims,
- ability to fine-tune one answer,
in the nearest future.

Example: can we teach GPT to learn that Sun color is cyan without retraining it from zero? So on any question (no matter how sophisticated it is) it always "know" that sun color is cyan? Can we teach GPT anything without retraining it?
Ah, this looks like what I should have gone for. It makes sense that PC fans are very well optimized for silence, effectiveness and energy consumption. Cheap, standard filters would also be great.

Charcoal filters, though, seem like they may be worth it in a home as opposed to in a classroom setting. There are unavoidable smells in our daily lives.

How does he track the jamming?

How do the russian jam?

How could they ever jam up such a large swath?

Does that even have a discernible effect on modern GPS receivers in smart phones?

Surely it doesn’t effect military systems, they would anticipate jamming, right?
A few thoughts...

- I have written a book and the publisher obviously wants to spread the word. Do I want to spread the word? Yes, I also want to spread the word. Why? Because I think it's a good book and it might help some people. So I try to create content to spread the word. This results in 80% of people coming across this content thinking "I don't need that, that's marketing", vs. 20% who might think "Great, I need that".

- If I want to join a new company, a technical blog or active developer advocates help me decide. I can get a sense of a company culture through what they chose to post and whom they hire for their advocate roles.

- Twitter, LinkedIn etc. are a complete waste of time for me personally. But again, other people build their presents their to sell you their ideas. Is it legit? Sure, why not. How else do you get informed about new ideas and thoughts?

All of that means there is tons of noise, since everyone is using the same channel (s), and for you, the consumer, means you have to filter these channels _a lot_.

I think in the current day&age, where computation and technology is part of every day life, your job description changes, and educating and "spreading the word" is part of it. But, this can be done in an authentic manner. You don't have to lie, or put up a big show. Writing and exposing your ideas can also help identifying who you are and getting in touch with people and the community can help shaping your thoughts and reflecting back on yourself.

So all in all, these environments are great for narcissists and "bubble people" , which is "bad", but I personally just see these social media platforms as channels now of information, where I can get new insights, articles and ideas from.

I personally restrict the usage of these platforms now to exactly this: Inflow of information. I am building actively a social network which is close to me, has nothing to do with being online. But I, every now and then, try to contribute to the online discourse through articles and blog posts.

What I find liberating is seeing how other professions are doing this: I follow endurance sports and psychology on YouTube, and what they do is is basically teaching and answering questions.
> but your credit card is "Ella Smith", the "people" won't accept it and their web app does weird things

Ha.

I live on street with a long but not that long name (18 chars for what it worth). I recently encountered a site what didn't want to accept my address because the full address was way too long.

> credit card actually is written as SMITH ELLAMARY

And here I am who specifically writes BANK NAME in the CARDHOLDER input instead of card holders name where I can.
When I say corporations aren’t people, I mean that in a literal sense, with implications such as “corporations shouldn’t be given human rights” (I’m sure there are some rights which do make sense for both humans and corporations, but it’s not 1:1)

When I say corporations have motives, that is shorthand for “the human leadership of this company has motives which control their decision making and cause them to make decisions which point the corporation in a certain direction”
Why?
I have no particular feelings for or against the JVM. It always surprises me when people get so passionate about runtimes - how much do you interact with them?
They're just in the background doing their thing.

I can see reasons for not wanting to use the JVM in specific cases. For example, it may not have the performance you want for the application you're developing.

I'm just confounded by general statements such as "JVM = no go",
"I want to use C# but I'm more of a JVM guy than dotnet" (or vice versa).

Is this some bizarre nu-console war that's going on in the programming community that I have missed?

> I'm always confused by how people expect ChatGPT to follow constraints it wasn't given.

My hypothesis is, that excel has a somwwhat clear context (and constraints): Math and formulas in the compute part and data however we give it to excel. The interface is abstract in a way that makes it clear you have to interact with it in a special way respecting this context.

On the other hand, the context of large language models is unknown. Should we consider everything in the training data as part of the context? What should I expect when asking chatGPT:

> Tell me about when Christopher Columbus came to the US in 2015

Should I expect:

* a story of when Columbus came to the US in 2015, because that is the context I gave it?

* to be corrected by the AI because my factuals are wrong?

OpenAIs example with this prompt is noticing that columbus is dead, but if he were to arrive what would happen.

Further, the interface of large language models, asking things in natural language, leads us humas to interact with it as if it were a fellow human. This interface, and the examples we are usually shown, makes it easy to assume that it has a large context and we do not have to specify all constraints on something we expect other humas to pick up on based on the language used.
Those running crypto networks are accountable legally. Those running the currency are not.
It should be well known by now that at the high end performance scales very poorly with power consumption (and also with price). (Same reason why you couldn't straightforwardly extrapolate the great laptop performance of Apple's M1 and project them to clobber Intel/AMD on the desktop/server.)

But the people who (think that they) really need those extra few % performance also tend to be the ones willing to spend. Personally I think this is fine: the big spenders who buy the top $$$ and TDP parts basically subsidize a lot of the costs for the more price conscious who benefit from all the R&D and still get great performance.
It is?

Damn shame, I'm sure there'd be a few that wished otherwise.

My bad, I'm thinking pre Henry VII times when it had more autonomy, not that I have skin in the game being Australian with non Great Britain roots.
I know it wouldn't be free software. From "What is Free Software?" at https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html#redistribute :

> You should also have the freedom to make modifications and use them privately in your own work or play, without even mentioning that they exist. If you do publish your changes, you should not be required to notify anyone in particular, or in any particular way.

As written it wouldn't be open source either, because "when used commercially" is contrary to the "No Discrimination Against Fields of Endeavor" criterion at https://opensource.org/osd .
If you are creative and the fire is creativity is in you, then you should express that regardless of what a computer can do.
I no longer do - working in the City wasn't for me. And neither was living in England. A week in the summer and over Christmas turned out to be just the right amount of blighty for me.
NHS dentists are required by the gov to meet targets, so what's actually happening is that they're all booked up and have on-staff a private dentist who isnt.

It isnt the same issue.

My wife and I have a similar story to tell. I got the same 4 fillings but luckily the quack didn't recommend root canal. We were scarred by this whole experience.

I have since found a great (Indian origin) dentist in Berlin and she is absolutely a gem. She doesn't recommend any useless procedures and after a long time my faith in Dentistry has been restored.

I feel that having a trusted Dentist/Gynac/Pediatrician etc is the best street cred you can have in Berlin. Vanity Teslas and BMWs got nothing on this.
Without being graphic, having something so large pass through a birth canal that is usually a lot smaller can have lasting physical effects (but not always!)
