>> ChatGPT has shown more understanding, patience and insight than most of my colleagues

It is a computer program, not a person. It matches patterns and generates text, but it has no feelings.

It is no different than ELIZA (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ELIZA) or Clippy )https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office_Assistant), just more sophisticated.

Stick to your studies and finish your degree. Take breaks and have fun. Make friends and spend time with them. The whole world is ahead of you. Don't waste your time worrying about future unknowns and maybe what-ifs.

It would look amazing.
Its an advanced feature of Fault Some Driver.
On my car, all of these occurred frequently.

It definitely is erratic with the speed, speeding up and slowing down slightly, which is annoying, but not so dangerous.

The dangerous parts are driving home from work, 6 miles, at least two very hard brakes each trip with no cars ahead of me (I only made a few trips like this before disabling it).

Automatic emergency braking (with the loud beeps and red message on the screen) on two lane highways, over crests, a myriad of other circumstances.

Ask HN: Is NextCloud too heavy for R-pi 3 with Docker?
I am wondering if this is too heavy of a load for my raspberry pi 3b. What do you think?
Sorry, but no.

The burden is absolutely on so-called "stable" coin issuers, exchanges, and other parties trying to sell crypto assets to prove that they are somehow the exceptional case of responsible grownups working within the ecosystem...b/c the "success stories" of circa 2019 are turning out to just be the folks who had the biggest scams running, and no one seems to be able to explain what's actually changed since then. (Hint: nothing! Nothing has changed, except that some of the rubes are becoming aware that they're the suckers left holding the bag, which makes actual cash somewhat thinner on the ground.)

Yes, sure, many of the exchanges are still running and money is moving around, so _someone_ is making a profit. But every time another domino falls the stans immediately challenge everyone to prove that _this particular_ actor is somehow insolvent, since obviously the rest of the ecosystem is sound...and in fact, the future of finance! Really!

It all stinks, just like it did a year ago, and five years before that.

To your numbers: they're made up, based on "value" of other crypto assets being shifted around, with no accounting standards, audits, or regulatory scrutiny to validate or back them.
D&D’s Open Gaming License May Have Become a Trap for Creators
Well, we've had pretty decent luck with Utah, Florida, Texas, and other parts of the US lately when traveling. The service isn't on par with Japan, but they're nice at least.

I'm hoping I can convince her to learn to drive.. Although if we move near my friends and family, I could just have one of my minions drive her around every day

Hopefully I can work out a way to earn $8k a month or so doing something online. Then I could maintain residences in Tokyo and the non-HCOL part of the USA, and pop back and forth occasionally.
Have to point a couple things out I found.

The USB versioning table needs some corrections:

- USB 3.1 Gen 2 is the same as USB 3.2 Gen 2 and is only found at 10Gbps.

- The 40Gbps entry is wrong, the real spec name is USB4 Gen 3x2. But it was never really advertised as such so I'd leave that out.

- 20Gbps is either USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 or USB4 Gen3x1, but I'd caution against adding this as the latter is quite rare to see (plus the above reason).

For the quiz, I would split up connecting storage devices and PCIE enclosures. Most storage only goes up to 10Gbps, and it will specifically say if it's built for Thunderbolt.

Why not just bring a phone then? Why a dedicated camera?

USB Keyboard dongle slows down retro CPU's cache [video]
I'm absolutely bewildered by this. Comments on the video are guessing that this is due to USB polling, because context switches on older CPUs weren't that great. But those are only guesses.

Here's a different USB related enigma I encountered. When you move your mouse pointer on the desktop, sometimes you can hear high pitched coil noise from your GPU, as long as you're moving the pointer. Sometimes it's pretty loud. I never understood why this happens...
no opportunity means they were following too closely.

if the car in front of you suddenly comes to a complete stop, you need to have enough time to brake to prevent yourself from hitting that vehicle without changing lanes.

if you are so close that you can't stop in time in that situation, you are following too closely. end of statement.

yes that does happen to cars, by the way. a car driving at speed X which hits another car head-on at speed X will cause both cars to come to a complete stop, instantly, provided they are the same mass. usually they are not the same mass, so that car which you were following could suddenly not only stop, but change direction and accelerate towards you.

crashes also usually don't happen head-on, so you must be ready when the inevitable does happen to you or around you. sometimes you can't prevent what happens, but you can always prevent colliding into the car in front of you.

these things happen hundreds of times per day, if not thousands of times per day, EVERY DAY.

If you don't make time to stop, you do not have time to stop.
> How is this issue relevant to keeping vs. losing the treasury funds?

It's relevant to the difficulty of launching and operating a U.S. dollar stablecoin.
The end game here and rug pull will be a mass conversion on exchanges to any and every other asset from usdt. Most likely this will far exceed almost every exchanges actual reserves and they will internalize the buy side and add some numbers to a database. Exchanges will attempt to redeem all the USDT they now hold, the USDT they didn't also fabricate out of thin air that is. This bank run on Tether exposes Tethers own lack of liquid reserves causing both Tether and said exchanges to become insolvent taking everyone down with them. After an event like this the utility of crypto will remain but the money won't return for a long long time. This is how I see this all going. I think places like coinbase, kraken etc Will survive but almost no one will care when the shell game is over.
Okay? A non zero amount of people think the Earth is flat. That doesn’t mean we need to take them seriously.

Particles have measurable sizes. Now you can argue this is a collapsing wavefunction, which I guess it is, but what size does a wavefunction have? I think the general interpretation is that the wavefunction is probability distribution and in that case the electron "cloud" is really the uncertainty about where the electron is not a larger object.
A myth, a plan, a canal.

I worked for a period in a consumer product OT shop. I was a consultant; not a 2nd gen. It's not often you discover you have access to a quarter $mil of OT equipment just lyin' around as hot spares sitting in a lab down the hall; and it all talked to the hot spare L2 which we used for development.

Technically, I was working on the L2 system. But I needed to write test plans. When I showed up, they showed me "the wall" which was three ring binders (1/2 to 1 inch thick?) of "test plans". Each binder was a test plan. Yes.

Over the better part of a month I assembled enough stuff in the lab to run product "end to end" in the best environment we could simulate.

So, after meetings, I was able to write a test plan which referred to an SOP for some portion of its setup and then deviated (a "variance") for the actual test. Tests took longer to execute, but a hell of a lot less time to write.

To set this up, I interviewed the actual line personnel. By the time my tour was done I had to schedule time in the lab because they were using it for training and general "what if" screwing around.
Teleprinters? Luxury! There were a hundred and sixty of us learning LISP in a single cons cell in the middle of the road.
You'll be surprised that the free-for-all-no-questions-asked US system is not the one followed around the world. Australia, like other countries with significant British history, has the concept of Crown Copyrights (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crown_copyright#Australia). Whether it's the (UK) Met Office (https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/services/data/met-office-data-f...), (Australian) BoM (https://reg.bom.gov.au/business-solutions/) or (NZ) MetService (https://metraweather.com/), commercial use is paid-for. Personal use is implied to be free, but usually they interpret using their API to be commercial use.

It really does look like we need two forms of infrastructure in our society just like software, central and distributed. Atleast in the less developed parts of the world.

From what I understand the proposal here is to have camerapeople moving around and filming things that look interesting.

Another possibility is that Africans have better immunity due to, uhm, natural selection? The human body has its own mechanism in defense which is more sophisticated than any of medicines out there. Natural selection is also how we came out to be. I think it was foolish to think that we can do better than a hundred-million year of a refined process.
Yeah, I found this strange too. I too am a layman and that prompted me to comment: why is an astrophysics professor making statements that dark energy is gravity repulsion?

The most charitable interpretation is that the author has dumbed down the theory to make it digestible by the layman and in doing so has used a bad analogy. But I think you can correctly describe the core concepts in simpler terms that are a lot closer to taht theory.

I suspect that OpenAI's primary source of income will be as an API to other apps. I just read that MS is looking to use it in its office suite. It doesn't take much insight to see that many other companies will want to do it too.

OpenAI's Chatgpt will have a hard time competing as a stand-alone app since the big tech players all have a version of AI that they can offer. Big tech can ultimately offered their AI services for free since they have other sources of income.

If they follow the Dall-E2 model they will charge about 2 cents per prompt. That may sound good but it's hard to plan as a business when your business' income is hard to predict.

My guess is that ChatGPT will be offered as a subscription with the lowest level somewhere between $15 and 30 dollars a month for individuals. The subscription price will scale for businesses of different sizes. They can't charge too much since other companies can come in and underprice them. They need to make it a no brainer expense for individuals.
> no opportunity means they were following too closely.

The car departed the lane next to them, dove in front of them, and stopped.

Do you always leave enough space so that a vehicle in the lane next to you can do this?

> if you are so close that you can't stop in time in that situation, you are following too closely. end of statement.

> yes that does happen to cars, by the way. a car driving at speed X which hits another car head-on at speed X will cause both cars to come to a complete stop, instantly, provided they are the same mass. usually they are not the same mass, so that car which you were following could suddenly not only stop, but change direction and accelerate towards you.

Recommended following distances are nowhere near "instant stop of vehicle in front of you plus reaction time". E.g. California recommends 3 seconds of distance at your current speed-- 286 feet. Real world stopping distances are often ~300+ feet, after 100 feet+ of reaction time (yes, I know that vehicle tests in ideal conditions often achieve something more like 150 feet not including reaction times).
>> 1) Is this unique to Japan? Most other countries have not developed world-dominating software industries. That is true, but most other countries did not enter the PC era after spending several disrupting and dominating multiple global industries. So, expectations of Japan were much higher.

Indeed. Read any US computer magazine c. 1980 +- four years, and the one assumption/expectation in the background of every article discussing the industry is that the "Japanese are coming". This belief directly caused several things to occur in the US industry, notably Commodore's pivot from a seller of high-priced desktops sold to schools and European companies to a focus on low-priced home computers starting with the Commodore 64.
In addition to what williadc wrote:

"had started making processors from multiple chips bundled together in plastic packages."

Amen. And don't forget that some of the formative policies people are critical of now (cough Prop 13) actually stem from periods where conservatives had the pull to win elections and ballot initiatives in California.

And California's progressive lock arguably isn't even really old enough to drive.

Articles reflect reality, too, I suppose. This kind of article is one of the reasons I recently cancelled my subscription. I don't know whether their quality actually did degrade over time or if it was always fluffy and I only just started noticing it last year.
For sure. Cost is always a very important constraint. Setting aside cost just helps me understand the problem space better. I’ve heard such horror stories about USB-C that I thought it would Be unsurprising if the answer was no.
I wonder. Everyone has heard of the Apache. Does removing the name cause the name to be used less? How many tribes are there, for whom there are living members, but for which most of us have never heard of? Is obscurity better than having your name used in a different way?
It's the same on iOS too.

Many major apps make their own camera UI, because it allows them to make a bespoke experience that actually feels like something that's part of their own app.

There's always the option to use the standard camera app, but that will feel jarring to most people, as it's just not how the most popular social media apps work.
Also the blatant, don’t worry it’s free insurance covers it “persuasions” as if my only concern is cost rather than necessity that I’ve learned is a shady dentist go-to tactic to open their customer’s wallets via insurance. Half the time I find out the cavity is not in the x-ray but “visual inspection” or “preventative” and the car salesmen tactics and fear of losing teeth are layed on thick while you are at your most vulnerable moment in the chair having a bright light blast your vision.

I hate it all, give me the x-rays and I’ll get a second opinion until trust is earned. The mom and pop local family dentists are the best, not the dentists renting chairs in clinics that rotate every time you come in.

If they make you sign a disclaimer about exceeding insurance coverage RUN!!
Its cost, compatibility, and age. A full thunderbolt cable is very expensive to make and it’s quite thick so completely pointless for a phone charger. And then you just have cables that are quite old, maybe old stock being sold and it all mostly has to work together.

USB-C isn’t uniquely bad here. HDMI also has this issue where depending on the cable you use, you’ll be able to achieve certain resolutions and refresh rates. The hdmi spec is seemingly never printed on the cable so you’ll have to plug it in to find out.

Cheap cables are also often missing the shielding which makes them work dismally at higher resolutions.
I am reasonably certain that if you had told me 5 years ago that we’d have a system that could reasonably generate conversational text but it often gave wrong or nonsense answers that seem plausible, my response would have been “that sounds pretty neat”, which is what my response was when I first used ChatGPT a month ago, and is what I started my comment with. At least personally speaking, the goalposts have not shifted.

I don’t at all deny that it’s a pretty cool thing, I have found it to be actually really useful to bounce ideas off of, but I guess I was just a little annoyed when I saw (what felt like) a million articles talking about it making engineers useless while the results it generates are actually worse than nothing.
I evaluated web components a few months ago. Everything was great except event propagation. Let’s say I have a component which is a DIV that wraps a label and an input. How can a consumer listen to the onchange event of the component which should map to the inputs onchange event. I could never come up with a holistic solution that would work for all components. It’d require a lot manual work mapping the input event to a new event that is triggered on the web component. I’d be interested if anyone found a better pattern
Marketing is one portion of web design.

At a lot of BigCos, the designs are supposed to be standard outside of the once in a generation refresh. One of the advantages of a big brand is a consistent, known quantity, and so things have to be harmonious; Starbucks is not out there making crazy new cups for every new drink they sell, every McDonald's location looks more or less the same, etc.

A lot of the variation we've seen in the early web was because web was something that a lot of people were outsourcing, but these days web is more integral, theoretically.
hi, author here!
Huh, I get a 404 on this.
> Given the fact that the trucker protesters were using Tether/cryptocurrency to fund their demonstrations, this is a very bad look for the Canadian government.

Given that security regulators are regulating a crypto exchange with standard rules that apply to all crypto exchanges, I think it's a very good look for how a regulator should act.

How a bunch of yahoo random protestors are "funding" their demonstrations is completely and utterly irrelevant. If they were using CAD or USD, would it make a difference to how the currency regulators should work?
Perplexity.ai seems to give me better results for now
yes absolutely it is the fault of the person behind you.

that is the law in the United States, as well.

following distance is controllable only by the following car. failure to maintain adequate following distance then rear ending the car you are following, no matter what reason they stopped, is always the fault of the following car, and never the followed car.

stopping for no reason on a busy interstate is an offence, but it will cause zero crashes if people are following at safe distances.

the number of people who have forgotten what they probably didn't learn to begin with in Driver's Ed is really scaring me right now.

> I didn't say they were similar value, this is a strawman.

You actually said that - "Interesting you say that, because it's actually very similar to Doge". Especially when the context was about the value of crypto in relation to supply and demand. Given that you are familiar with SHIB being an ERC20, I am fairly certain you are aware of DOGE's supply being nothing like BTC. And yet you conflate the two. Just for FUD?
