That's awesome!

The Wikipedia article was a bit light on her personality and life outside of hiking, how was she like? It sounded like she had a strong personality and didn't take no for an answer, but I'm also curious about the poetry she wrote and what was her general outlook in life. She seemed like she was very smart.
Now there's a domain I haven't seen in a very long time.

This had me dig up an old story that I read many years ago... or at least the reference to it.

I read it in the collection of stories titled "Hackers" https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?16234 - the story was "Living Will" by Alexander Jablokov written in 1991 https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?41618

Digging...

And you can read it at https://archive.org/details/Asimovs_v15n07_1991-06/page/n55/...

I will note that this story may be difficult for people who are in dark places. If you check trigger warnings, without disclosing spoilers, be forewarned.

The most relevant part of the story is on page 63 of the collection:

> "You're lying." Gerald shook his head. "You're not much good at it. Did your gadget pick up that characteristic, I wonder?" He raised his voice. "Computer Roman, why do you exist?"

> "I'm afraid I'm losing my mind," the computer replied. "My memory is going, my personality fractionating. I don't know if it's the early stages of Alzheimer's or something else. I, here, this device, is intended to serve as a marker personality so that I can trace - "

> "Silence!" Roman shouted. The computer ceased speaking. He stood, shaking. "Damn you, Gerald. How dare you?"

> "This device is more honest than you are." If Gerald was afraid of his friend's anger he showed no sign of it. "There must be some flaw in your programming."

> Roman went white. He sat back down. "That's because I've already lost some of the personality I've given it. It remembers things I've forgotten, prompting me the way Abigail does." He put his face in his hands. "On my God, Gerald what am I going to do?"
USDT is not inflationary as well, as there is no interest rate applied to it, contrary to USD.

This is in fact a real annoyance for USDT investors, as Tether does not pay the risk free rate, which they should, as any USD custodian would.

Honestly, at that level you won't be driving your own research. You will be under the supervision of someone who is driving their own research program.

Your process when applying to do graduate research will be shop around for academics and research groups who are working on things that look interesting to you. You'll send them an email and ask them if they are taking new research students right now (usually the answer would be yes, especially if you have good grades) and what sorts of problems would they give to a new student.

If the initial email looks positive, the next step will be meet them for lunch or a coffee. It won't be called an interview, but that's basically what it will be.

You'll be able to make suggestions and give a general hint of what you'd be most interested in, but at the end of the day it will be up to your research supervisor to both suggest topics for you to research and/or to give feedback on any preferences or interests you have.

L3 driving is only available at low speeds, approx 35mph which means only useful for stop-and-go traffic. Many cars with adaptive cruise control can already do this.

In terms of athletic performance, often athletes work specific muscles or muscle groups to improve ability at the margin(e.g. a higher jump or more powerful kick) or to lower the risk of injury from sudden, unpredictable movements(wrestlers have powerful necks in part because neck injuries are career-enders). A general, untargeted approach like "carry a young calf around the stadium" (the approach claimed to be used by ancient wrestler Milo of Croton) also builds strength, but more in a sense of overall athleticism, which is generally good for health but doesn't necessarily optimize towards a specific activity: e.g. the possibility of becoming "too big" presents itself wherever you're relying on a blend of speed, strength, and stamina. Strongmen competitors are very strong, but they don't have as much stamina or speed as people who trained to be strong at a lower weight.

For many people, it's aesthetically driven: bodybuilding is a form of beauty contest where a certain kind of muscle development and leanness is considered ideal, depending on the specific contest you're entering. And so you train and diet accordingly: gaining mass in areas that need to be brought up, trying to even out two sides where their size differs, dieting down to show more of the anatomy. Even if you aren't aiming to enter shows, many people will use these parameters as an aesthetic target.

If you're in it for general health, the distinctions are interesting trivia, but you're basically served by doing exercises that are known to train all parts of the body. Combat sports offer a good model for this kind of training since they demand an overall balance of athleticism, and to eliminate exploitable weaknesses.

I'm a current daily Rust user and former C++ user. The opinion is formed of my own experience.
Note the other replies @ parent. It seems to be a virtualization specific issue.
I hail from a Tier 3 city in India [a]. Due to mismgmt. or exorbitant electricity prices, several folks would end up stealing electricity from the main line.

Electricity distribution companies would keep on increasing prices to make up for lost revenue from stealing. On other hand, stealing kept on increasing.

In recent years, huge chunk of public have pivoted to installing solar panels for water heater etc. When I was a kid, solar water heater was found only on upper middle and politician's home. Now it's very common. This is welcome progress and inadvertent good for environment since the real motivation is to free self from manipulation of electricity companies.

a. Tier 1 would be state capitals, Tier 2 would be prominent cities in that state, Tier 3 would be rest of district headquarters.
At the time there wasn't much focus on timelines (besides being a long term undertaking), only that there was a hole in the ozone layer and that it could be fixed by avoiding certain refrigerants. As they were taken off the market the progress in regulating the CFCs and the ozone layer healing was noted, and it faded away as a concern.

At the time I lived under said hole, so it was in the news quite a bit.
Elaborate? The demo of a Pig on a Treadmill, with accurate predictions of Joint Locations, was very impressive to me.
Banks have short term liabilities (customer deposits and certificates of deposit) and long term assets (business loans, mortgage loans, etc.). A bank cannot call its business and mortgage loans from the borrower, so the maturity mismatch can create credit crunches for banks.

Tether has short term liabilities (tokens) and short term assets (T-bills, money market funds, bank deposits, etc.). Because most of their assets are in short term "cash equivalent" assets with lots of liquidity, Tether can more easily deal with large redemptions as they did in April - July when their market cap went from $83B to $66B.

If they were teaching you recursion with Scheme and didn't teach you about tail calls and tail recursion, then you got cheated. That's usually the second thing you learn about recursion in Scheme after learning how to make recursive calls. It's essential to actually making efficient recursive routines in Scheme.
Not when it's referentially transparent. In that case, there's no need to run the tests if a function or its children haven't changed. Of course, in that's the case, the tests are probably fast enough that running then won't matter much.
When I see articles like this, I have this bet between Jeff Atwood and John Carmack in the back of my mind:

The lack of specifics about this technology plus the lack of communication led me to believe early on that it was not real. The notion that progress can only move forward with a large team, vs a small one, seems more like an argument you use to get more money out of a VC than a real engineering statement. What type of work requires a large team? Heck even if you're building a sky-scraper you could get started with a small team by, for example, making blue-prints.

I catch a whiff of con-artistry, and I find it deeply distasteful.
I'm 50 and can confirm this. E.g., I'm currently much more concerned about how politicians seemingly driving the country I'm living in and the world as a whole downhills in all regards. These worries are of course a waste of my personal energy.

On the other hand: When structuring my day with Pomodoros (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomodoro_Technique - especially doing the rest properly, meaning just lying down doing some relaxation technique) and resisting all other harmful stuff like (to much) news or (any) social media, I feel like I'm even sharper than in my younger years. Even remembering stuff better.

So, I think those problems are to be spotted in our changing environment and internal setup more than in an aging process. At least not at 40, 50 or 60.
You have many options. Joining another startup seems like an easy fix. If you want to go corporate why not join a bootcamp to level up your skills. General Assembly has a good product management program.

Everybody fails at many things multiple times in their lives. Just try to manage failure gracefully and get things in order before trying again.

This being the crux of the problem. Obtaining the benefit of state owned/controlled operations for such things without allowing them to be ruined by constant political interference in sync with the routine electoral cycles. A public health system or sewage or electricity is a multi decade resource of benefit to several generations of citizens… but politicians tend to think about the next election not their old age and future generations needs. It really requires and active and engaged citizenry to make proper operation a priority over the normal sort of political pandering.
I use an Xbox One X solely as a "YouTube/Kodi home theatre"... (I also have a lot of game systems and computers). Indeed I have the trusty infrared remote! It's a pretty nice setup! Especially as I can play some games on it from time to time. :)
There's also a lack of standard server-side-rendering support. From last I looked at it, some of the web component libraries have their own SSR support, but that only works with web components authored with that specific library, negating the supposed universal compatibility of web components, and they involve using heavyweight simulated DOM libraries on the server. I'm not going to bother with something that doesn't take SSR seriously when React aces that so well (especially with the newer server components support) among other things (like giving you a code model that ensures by default that updating a prop at runtime causes the same result as setting it on creation).
Right, but the implication of your background lends one to question, is the user part of the product?

Google and Youtube are advertisers who monetized search queries and content consumption of their users as the end result of their product.

You've not addressed the core of the argument whereby you admit and extol your previous experience, but neglect to decry the actions the company took while you were there.

You want to have control of the flow of information, but you are not a charity and not opposed to reimagining a product to better monetize it.

Can't argue that Tesla's smaller than Mercedes when Tesla's market cap is so much larger. In 2021, at it's peak Tesla's market cap crossed $1.2 Trillion. Daimler at it's peak this year only reached $81 Billion (although climbing). Why couldn't Tesla just buy out Daimler? Even now Tesla sitting at a valuation of $372 Billion. It could happen tomorrow.

Tell me Elon's the savvy businessman you claim him to be. If Gates were running the company, he would have acquired half the auto industry by now.
That would be super useful, but is it possible? Would it depend on cable markings?

And yet, we somehow take this for granted in Google searches? Who says results in google searches are worth the pixels they’re beamed through?

I think the obfuscation layer of AI results is just too new for us. The same way making big purchases online felt too new a while ago. Once we get acclimated to AI results, it’s not going to feel untrustworthy.
Research not fit to print (2016)
True. It's like what's happened with electronics, radio, video in that way. A solid grasp of the (always-present) basic components, and basic tech and design philosophy, goes a long way. It's like learning a language.

So easily-understandable articles like this are essential for beginners, along with a short list of masterful books ( e.g. those by Forrest Mims, for electronics) and playing with physical components! The rest is the endless variations, but they're all speaking that language, 'cuz the laws don't change.
Wasn’t google news able to get away with it? Good point though
A tangent, but I thought worth mentioning:

At least part of it is trying to save people work, I imagine. "That's a cool tool, but there's an existing, well-supported one that already solves those problem."

Of course, the problem here is that Nix may be similar to this language, but they solve different problems. So I imagine the writer is just mistaken, and it comes off as one-upsmanship.
That's the triumph of vanilla hardware. There are lots of cool things you can do. Segmented architectures, all that call gate stuff Intel put in 32-bit mode, tagged machines, unified integer/floating point implementation, hardware key/value stores - they've all been built, and they're all history now.

There's a long history of exotic CPU architectures. The only ones that caught on were GPUs. We might see new ones for machine learning, which needs some very specific operations with huge parallelism. GPUs are gaining features for that, like tiny floating point optimized for the 0..1 range. The successful ideas in this space were driven by a specific problem. None were "build it and they will come".
It certainly sounds like a contradiction, but I suppose it comes down to how much time the driver has to take control "when prompted to intervene". If they are expected to take control in (for example) less than one second's notice, then yes driver must keep their attention on the road at all times.

If the car is able to recognize far enough in advance that it doesn't know what to do in a situation and reduce speed, pull over, etc., then that could be enough time for a person to put down their phone and take control of the vehicle.
Where's the ssh server running in the cluster?
I used Web Components (HTMLElement) recently and did not encounter any of these issues. I found it more snappy and reliable than frameworks like React or VueJS in terms of adding and removing components dynamically.
I did find that it provides a lot more flexibility than front end frameworks (more ways to make mistakes?) and the code was more verbose.
If I had to start a project from scratch today, I would consider going straight for Web Components.
They started from pre-existing projects: Citra (3DS), Dolphin (GameCube, Wii), PPSSPP (PSP), Gekko (GameCube)

Dolphin is 19 years old, Rust is 12 years old.

The thing is that it is good at classifying things.

You could then use it to classify things that it is bad at and use that information (as part of a larger whole) to dispatch a query to the knowledge system that can return back the proper (current) information, and report on that.

The following is a list of questions. Identify the category they belong to as one of {Current Events}, {General knowlege}, {Unit conversion}, {Math}:

1. How many feet in a mile?
2. What is the square root of 541696?
3. Who is the Speaker of the House?
4. How many turkeys in Turkey?

to which it responds:

1. Unit conversion
2. Math
3. Current Events
4. General Knowledge

The supervisor system (for lack of a better word) would then dispatch the questions to different systems that it is coded to be able to either further classify the question or provide the proper answer.
It's actually surprising how little ambitious career women in Silicon Valley exploit their attractiveness with old rich men on the border of senility as investors rather than as husbands.
Anecdotally, my elderly father was an Architect for quite a long time - He claims the trend was (1) away from skilled labor and (2) towards contractors building only what is made explicit in drawings. I.e. details would be specified as "typical - see an example (only it's unusual)" and rely on the the best judgment of the contractor/labor to implement, while now work halts if there is any ambiguity. He thinks the old practce led to higher quality buildings more quickly, while the new practice is an inevitable consequence of legalism (everybody sues everybody when anything goes wrong) but more a consequence of less expert labor.

I disabled our shower by forcing the taps shut with spanner, the tap washers I prefer are ok for this.

Attached a shower head hose to the bath tap, so now all we have is a shower head you have to hold and mostly sit or squat to use it.

This has eliminated certain individuals from emptying the hot water system while washing their hair, and my own tendency to use a fair bit of hot water while standing in the shower.

Bit of a hack, YMMV.
Given it’s a fairly common word problem, I can’t say I’m surprised.
So if I see a memorable family moment I want to photograph in close quarters, I simply don't? This seems like too much commitment to minimalism or photography as art as a single priority. Sometimes there are things worth capturing even if I can't capture them perfectly or have to carry a backpack with a couple of extra lenses.

I think by working so hard to remain off-radar this whole time, they’ve been setting themselves up for a rug pull if the music truly stops. I mean yeah I think they’ll try to defend the peg for a while but if it’s clear it’s over, the incentives are pretty damn strong for them to cut and run with whatever they can carry.

Judging by many of the comments, clearly we don't "all know" what isn't there. In fact, unless you work for OpenAI or the Microsoft team acquiring it, we barely know the surface of what is there.

ChatGPT has value, but it isn't world-changing in this state, and we have no information as to how much potential it actually has. I'm reminded of Google's AI vaporware from several years ago where they had conversational AI that could call humans and make appointments for you without hitting the uncanny valley. Was a sweet demo, public release was supposedly just around the corner. People were talking about how it was going to revolutionize how we interact with technology. Still waiting.
