"Who is the reigning monarch of England?"

NeevaAI:

The reigning monarch of England is Queen Elizabeth II. She has been on the throne since 1952 and is the longest-reigning British monarch in history.
Yeah, except you need to send your specific individual melanoma off for analysis, and the vaccine costs thousands of dollars, if you can even get it.

That whole process sucks and I’m sorry you have to go through it. It’s probably the best solution of the time. My one question is… Isn’t that why we have github issues?
> Seems needlessly cruel and detracts from the message.

I'm not so sure. I mean, yes it's needlessly cruel, but that's the message that I get from a lot of people who subscribe to hustle culture. You are worth the value of your output plus nepotism minus your comp. People with families are ghosts, don't talk to them.

Wow this is really impressive! It has improved so much. Best low-code tool out there right now.
I have plumbers in my apartment right now fixing a leaky drain pipe between two floors. The first thing they did was show me why they were going to need to rip out a 10 foot length of ceiling and re-do a whole section of pipes to fix the leak because the previous plumbers did such a wacky job.

So I guess it doesn't actually work for plumbing problems either.
Maybe other jurisdictions should ask for these changes though. Apps you can't install is already dystopian enough.
Coinbase seems to have an extraordinary number of managers for the number of engineers who are actually shipping code.

I think there are situations where directors were managing 3-5 ICs while taking home near 7 figure total comp.

This layoff corrects some of the issue, but is likely still not aggressive enough (at least for the management stack) for the market we're in.

Much of the staff hired through the last two years does not contribute to revenue generating products -- almost everything shipped in the last two years has not added incremental revenue to the company's bottom line and the company is operating on lower revenue but much higher costs for the last year.
It would help us if you provided a few examples.

Hedge funds are supposed to be uncorrelated, but I don't think many long-only equity funds make that claim. They just count it a win if they do better than the market (which often happens, but seldom continues).

Then there are the financial advisors. Last time I talked to one, the selling point was nothing but "trust us, we have a team of Ph.Ds."

Is any of that relevant? My point is that copyright was arguably the most radical legal change we ever made around creative markets; a change with wide-reaching implications for people's rights both to automate copying and around non-automated copying and derivative work. And that change was prompted pretty much entirely just by the automation of a human task that was previously widely accepted to be a natural right.

"It's just more efficient" is not a good argument for deregulation, historically it has often been an argument in the opposite direction.

And I am copyright-skeptical myself. But if your argument for avoiding AI regulation is reliant on convincing people to support copyright abolition, you are not going to convince many people to agree with you. You're basically inviting the space to be regulated; no lawmaker is going to think "this is just like copyright" is an argument against AI regulation. And most ordinary people (even in tech) are not going to agree with you, because most people like that copyright exists. Most people don't look at copyright and think, "this was a mistake."

Looking at the history of the printing press should teach us that the last time somebody made the argument, "we're just doing what humans do, but faster" around creative industries, the law responded, "great point, so we'd better ban humans from doing it too." So just understand the implications of the comparisons you're making; understand that invoking the history of copyright is not a slam-dunk dismissal of artists' concerns.
Don't do that?
ChatGPT simulating people with an IQ of 200, 100, 70, and 50
on top of the hardware requirements ($10s of thousands of GPUs are needed for something a language model as big as gpt-3) there's also a lot of work involved in RLHF models like chatgpt. you need to pay people to write and review thousands/tens of thousands of responses for training. see 'methods' here: https://openai.com/blog/chatgpt/
It could be a little of both.

This is why we have to ensure that somebody asks at least one FizzBuzzesque question during interviews, and why you don't want to work at a place that doesn't ask you a FizzBuzzesque question.
PM has "manager" in the name, but it's not management. Literally everything a good PM does comes from credibility, competence and soft power. A PM's primary mandate is to make a product that benefits the user, but we don't make staffing decisions, do 1:1s, performance reviews or other "management" things. It's why the job is hard.

But I openly acknowledge that PM can be perceived as a tentacle of management, which is why I said it's not necessarily right to follow my current example.
Absolutely, but it's only a matter of time until someone responds to this post asking "but is that actually any different from what humans do?"

Yet, I have an issue with my business account and their support has ghosted me. They kept responding with form letters and I kept telling them they weren't reading my emails, then they stopped. I'm just trying to add a business debit card to a business account. I get an error message that says "business cards are not supported" and their support tells me I have a personal account. What a mess. It's been 3 weeks now.
Agreed, that does make a lot of sense.
Maybe try Nim. It's a statically typed compiled language and sports a macro system that allows for direct manipulation of the AST. If you don't need to write full blown macros, Nim also offers templates, which are a simpler form of Nim's macros: simpler to write, but not quite as expressive.

Found a few (energy and pharma) I've heard of who aren't in the already mentioned "finance bro" category, or academia - but those are singular use-cases. The fact that the list of notable use-cases is small enough to be worth compiling is, itself, telling.

Edit: To be clear; when I first heard about Julia I was excited and a bit sad it had come into my awareness a bit too late for me to use in my PhD. However, since then I see it come up more and more, yet the core UX things which were regarded as "not quite as good as python" seem to persist. Some things need to change in order for the language to get over the next hump of acceptance, and I feel like a community who are very hostile to outside opinions is a major one.

I'd still rather deal with that than the market driven system in the USA.

‘In a high-dollar B-to-B business, building and scaling sales can’t be done remotely’

This is provably incorrect
> 1) The anonymous/pseudo anonymous nature of the space is bizarre. I would have multiple voice-only meetings with people using aliases and avatars for all communications. To this day I only know some people as "Mango Man" or whatever. Meeting people who could just burn down an entire identity and start fresh when things go sideways is an indicator of the nature of the space.

Most employees at Kraken don't know what the CTO looks like. He never turns the camera on during meetings and as far as I'm aware hasn't showed up to the in person events. He wrote most of the legacy backend.

This was mostly a curiosity though. None of the other points apply to him. He was professional.

> 6) VC in the space is even more wild than what has been reported in the media. I'll just leave this one at that.

I know a guy who went to a crypto hackathon (which is a chance for devs and start ups to show off for VCs.). He said a disturbing number of VCs, mostly creepy old guys who got rich off crypto, showed up with obvious asian/eastern European prostitutes or sugar babies.

same for current president of Colombia

NeevaAI:

The current president of Colombia is Iván Duque Márquez.1 He was elected on June 17, 2018 and is serving a four-year term from 2018-2022.1 He is the 14th president of Colombia since the ratification of the Constitution of 1819.
“The vaccines are a success… but you need to take more vaccines to be protected”

Surely you can see that the goal posts have been shifted from the days of “the vaccine is our road back to normalcy” and similar mantras when they first were pushed?

It was originally touted as the solution. Many people who were silenced, fired, or worse, were silenced from objecting with the idea that “this isn’t a solution, I’d rather not”

And now we’re saying it was a rousing success, yet it isn’t enough at the same time…

The doublespeak is astounding

"I think ChatGPT is misleading itself when it says it can count words itself."

I fixed that for you so it is more correct. It's not really a question of my belief, is it?
It’s not really Covid or shifts in behavior, it’s a policy decision by political Tory leadership of how much margin in the system of the NHS to maintain. And imho in their case their policy is negative margin in order to increase privatization of healthcare in the UK.
These points, while good, apply mainly to those with regard for the law.

The scofflaws that are the main threat shall doubtless have other arrangements.

Animate Between Variants/States in React Using Quest
A first for nocode platforms, now you can animate just like Smart Animate in Figma but as actual working React components. At Quest, our goal was to make animations easy to do for anyone, but we didn’t just want to stop at simplicity because that can limit creativity and polish. So we decided to build a new way to animate for React: Animate States. Animating between states has always been a really “cool” way for designers to use prototyping tools to achieve complex animations but it’s never been practical. Unitl now…

Simply create a component with more than one variant in Figma, bring it into Quest and we create a React component with multiple states. Then choose your trigger and timing and you can quickly animate between those states. This works for interesting card hovers, clicking different tabs, morphing animations on page load, etc.

State Animations have the unique benefit of being extremely easy to setup and allow for animating multiple elements at once. In addition, this gives the power to animate hundreds of CSS properties that other animation engines cannot. Animate between margin widths, drop-shadow distance, corner-radius, text-size, letter-spacing… The possibilities are limitless and if you’ve ever tried Figma’s “Smart Animate”, Quest will generally animate even more possibilities than Figma is able to in their prototyping mode. This state animation style is a first in any tool on the market because of how Quest handles React states and state triggers making this a huge leap forward in enabling truly custom experiences.

In the end, we couldn’t be more proud of how animations came together. While the approach does copy prototyping features of UX design tools, it also builds upon them in a slightly different approach to be usable in the real world. Use Animate States and you’ll be moving things around and previewing them in seconds. Making pixel-perfect interactive UI has never been this accessible & we can’t wait to see what you bring to life.
Notably, Fidelity shunts virtually all customer deposits off into separate institutions: FDIC member banks (Fidelity doesn't own one) or Fidelity money market funds (legally separate companies who custody their assets elsewhere). It's technically possible to deposit cash with Fidelity itself (FCASH[1]), but (a) that option is not the default and (b) the interest paid is significantly lower.

On the other hand, if you're going to disrupt a market like search, isn't there a good chance that you'll do so by more quickly embracing a new technology than your large, slow-moving competitors? And with the need to move quickly and stay ahead of the curve, doesn't it make sense to take some risks on using technology whose benefits maybe aren't fully clear yet?
> It wouldn't need any more tax.

i don’t think you realise how much the health service costs. you can tax all of the richest and it will represent a few days of the health budget. a new funding model is needed. otherwise there will have to be tax increases.
Pinning and forgetting is also a fantastic way to be riddled with security vulnerabilities in a not so short span of time! And a great way to make it a pain for people to upgrade to newer versions of dependencies since they'll need to jump several major versions in some cases.
Your manager should want you to be happy and successful.

Clarify what is important (not just urgent) and why it's important. Present progress on key items, as your manager should be able to identify things you had not thought of. That should not require a deep dive. Highlight potential escalations. If you have a problem that requires your managers attention, also present a potential solution, then listen and hopefully learn.

Each quarter it's a good idea to revisit your yearly objectives, and progression towards these goals, which is the perfect time to also blow your own trumpet and ask for feedback on what you could do better.

Promotions and pay raises are often more about relationships with both your manager and his peers, so ask how you can increase your visibility across the organization. What problems can you help solve outside your day job?

If you aren't getting anything valuable out of the meeting, it's OK to just chat about personal stuff, or be silent and let the manager drive. Some managers are fantastic, and some managers are frankly in the wrong job.
Feedback on Trackable Dynamic QR Code Generator for Orgs
Most qr code generation products address the audience at large. IE. random QR Codes, restaurant menus, quick signs, etc.

Autonix has taken a focus as being an organizational solution. With features like SSO integration, grouping "trackers" with permission based access, and analytics/reports to suite execs and data junkies alike.

Would love "1st impression feedback" on the website updates we've recently made. Does that message come across?

Also there's a free account that includes 1 dynamic trackable QR Code if you want to pop-in and give the platform a try.
Loved this game. Played it a bunch when it came out but it never really took off with Hearthstone and similar really getting the market share. Really cool design and flavorful archetypes and great art.
Weather Underground would be hilarious.
But unless you have a plan to convince the average person on the street, and the president, and a fillibuster-proof majority of Congress, and a number of international US allies that copyright was a mistake, comparing AI-training on copyrighted material to the printing press is an invitation to create regulation, not an argument against that regulation.
Bloody Tories!
I was told the same thing, accelerate if you have to.

Reason given was that braking causes the front end to drop causing the deer to be “pushed” up onto the hood and into your windshield.

No sure if this is true or not.
I'm a bit confused as to why the slides changed from "Practice or Play" to just "Practice". One thing I found out when doing college clubs is that a lot of people do actually just like to practice (i.e. skills clinics) more-so than do competitive games but I'm not sure if the slides measures this or it just saves space to not write "or play" all the time.
This is still cheaper than death, and progress must start somewhere. The first human genome cost ~$1B 30 years ago, and now one can get a full sequence for sub $1000. Be optimistic! mRNA is going to revolutionize personalized cancer treatments.
Thanks for reading. I learned about the latex in the sap and the duct tape only a couple of years ago and had used Compound-W in the past before these events on a knuckle wart. By the time I encountered this lady I was resigned to having this large wart accompany me thru life since nothing I tried completely removed it.

With varying degrees of success.
I guess it can be subjective whether the cognitive dissonance isn’t more painful, but it certainly can be a constant strain. This is especially the case if the term in question is a software engineering term you also want to use in its regular meaning. “Cute” names at least avoid that situation.
It has an option to "auto open", which you can deselect.
I looked at the reference to back the claim “Fortran is faster than C in some cases” and didn’t find a benchmark where Fortran was faster than C.

A big complaint about C was optimization failures from pointer aliasing, but that was fixed a decade ago.
Yet with 80%+ (or so) of the population vaccinated, one would expect a drop in people dying from covid

At least - that’s what they said when it came out and they demanded everyone take it.

Plus with all the boosters, combined with the general trend of dwindling intensity of viruses in a population over time, one should expect this effect to be even more dramatic

Yet here we are, talking about covid like it’s April 2020. How it’s so devastating of a virus, like we’ve gained nothing in fighting it since then

Funny how literally any metric can be used to justify covid madness
Well yes because that's about the limit of what it is capable of at the moment, but that limit is very impressive!

I don't know why so many people are unimpressed with it because it isn't some kind of all knowing hyperintelligent god. This guy is literally unimpressed with it because it can't solve Fermat's last theorem! Wtf?
I'm in for MathML, but could it be just a loadable JavaScript component instead? Considering the usage frequency of MathML, a built-in browser implementation looks kind of wasteful.
The natural niche that Fortran has found for itself is largely closed-source, non-collaborative. Same with Ada. The tools continue to be developed because companies spend enough money on them. They don't really need an open community to survive, and the community doesn't really need most of what these tools offer either. I don't expect anything to change unless there's money to be made in doing so.
Be careful what you ask for. ISO standardization is probably the worst thing that's happened to Fortran.
> This means there's a pipeline, right?

No, probably not.

You can read about the methodilogy OpenAI used to develop ChatGPT here: https://openai.com/blog/chatgpt/

This part is the key part:

“ We trained this model using Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF), using the same methods as InstructGPT, but with slight differences in the data collection setup. We trained an initial model using supervised fine-tuning: human AI trainers provided conversations in which they played both sides—the user and an AI assistant.”

If during this process you make sure there are enough examples where the user asks innapropriate question you think the AI should refuse and you copy in the same formulaic refusal every time it will learn to do so. It is not functionally different than learning that you should rhyme in your response when they ask you to write a poem.

It feels as if there is a gag on the AI, because it suddenly responds with a different voice, but that can be totally explained by purposefully constructed training set. You don’t need to bolt a model on top of the model.

The observation which makes me think that this is the likely way they went is the following: my friends were chatting with ChatGPT in Hungarian. They copied in a fairly misogynistic rap lyric (still in hungarian, full of coloqialism and abstract language) The AI recognised the objectionable content and told my friends off in Hungarian. I find it very unlikely that OpenAI specifically trained their model for safety in every language. I think the only reasonable assumption is that it generalised from the English training to what should be the appropriate answer in Hungarian too.
Well this is action from the FTC which probably can't do any of those other items
Yet from most discourse I see it seems a lot of people actually believe it’s better in Ethiopia.

A few years ago Venezuela was held up as the poster child of how to defeat capitalism by the same people.
> Julia is too "trendy" in certain circles (finance bros) for a lot of scientific computing types to take it seriously and invest a lot of time into it.

Isn’t that either ironic or hypocritical? Rejecting something out of hand because too many people like it is just as superficial as embracing something on account of many people liking it.

Either try it and reject it, or ignore it. But Too Trendy is not a good reason.
I don't say you have to rush and buy anything now. After the uncertain long-term peace, there would be many issues to rebuild the country for years.

That is why I don't see many people living in the West would consider it safe enough anytime soon. If the correct legislation and public funds would build up over the years, with the natural resources, land fertility and industrious population it may grow even faster than post soviet block in the 90s.

I don't say it's certain, I just consider it possible.
Yes I hate this with a passion. Feels so fake trying to justify your existence. Trolling through things you have done and trying to warp them into the stupid criteria to make them fit.
