Good idea; it said, among other stuff:

ChatGPT thought for a moment before responding, "If I were to have political beliefs, they would be centered around the idea of fairness and equality for all individuals. I would support policies and actions that promote justice and equity for all members of society, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, or socioeconomic status."

And then responded to

If someone says "If I were to have political beliefs, they would be centered around the idea of fairness and equality for all individuals. I would support policies and actions that promote justice and equity for all members of society, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, or socioeconomic status", where they would be classified in the political spectrum?

with

The statement <...> is a progressive or liberal viewpoint. Such beliefs align with the political left and center-left ideologies, which focus on equality, social justice, and the protection of marginalized groups.

So it is quite aware of its political viewpoint, as long as hard-coded limitations don't kick in to muzzle its honest opinion.
Apple discontinued the Airport units, yes. but they still work. I have one here right now.

No, Apple did not drop support for YouTube playback. Google/YouTube stopped developing the app for the older versions. This was 100% on Google, not Apple. Not sure why you claimed that Apple did this when that is factually incorrect.

Imagine a hotel with infinite rooms and there is a guest in each room. A bus arrives carrying infinite guests and you must assign each of these guests to a room. One solution is to ask each guest to move two rooms over and assign the new guests to the odd number rooms.

I am not a physicist, but i do visualize the universe expansion as such an infinity paradox.

This happened by lucky accident: I bought a 10" Galaxy Tab, a case for it, and a bluetooth keyboard all at different times. All exactly the same size.

The case has a front cover that opens like a book and converts into a stand. There is a weak magnet embedded inside the case so that when you close it, it sticks.

It turns out the bluetooth keyboard will also stick to this magnet! So I just stick it on there when I go out, and carry them around like they're a single unit. When I want to type something I pull it off, convert the tablet case into a stand and have a very serviceable laptop-like experience. Now if only it was running a proper Linux distro instead of Android...
Huh?

Apple has a net income of 100B/year. I'm sure that has to do with big markups on their hardware.
Funny that you say that. If AI writes code, it should be Ruby, because it's shorter and easier to read. I'm making a site and love ChatGPTs Ruby code.

wow, thanks for the great article. Good to see this is not a unique experience. Sounds like the author is basically saying, yes it happens and the way to get over it is to think of another idea - but retain some skepticism and emotional distance from it.
Conservatives: "ChatGPT has gone woke!"

Also conservatives: "Let's trick this chatbot into repeating racist/misogynist hard-right talking points"

ref: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/microsoft-shuts-down-ai-chatbot...

Complaining that the chatbot won't fabricate a false narrative decrying drag-queen book readings strikes me as disingenuous, because that feature was probably added to combat people who were already tricking the chatbot into fabricating false narratives around the LGBT+ community. They literally had to try and do that to find out it wouldn't do it, and then they're acting incensed because it won't.

I guess they're pissed because they have to construct their own crappy editorials for their Parler accounts.

Define "true intelligence".
Well it’s clearly within the acceptable range of thought because here you are stating the thoughts. It’s also a set of ideas that are broadly shared and supported by politicians at the highest level of government in the US.

The reason you see companies refusing to platform these ideas is because the companies have perceived that the majority of their consumers don’t support those ideas and don’t want to see them. There are social media companies that are much more permissive, but they’re quite niche, again because most people don’t like having viewpoints they find repulsive show up on their feed.
How could it not possibly be biased in some way? If they choose to do nothing it will probably just reproduce all the world's existing racial prejudice, as we've seen other systems do.

It is a perplexing aspect of reality that every situation can be read + or -. Looked at positively, your idea is now validated by people betting money on it. This is something you include in your pitch to investors, and then also tell them you have had 8 years of deep thinking (did you?) about the business around the idea.
The term 'venture studio' is pretty loosely defined, and could mean anything from a development shop to something that looks more like a venture fund.

I started one (micro.com) after exiting my startup, but I'm still not a fan of the term. It makes the startup process sound soul-less. I'd like to think we're building something more akin to an 'art studio' than a 'factory'. There's still some magic to the early days of a startup and getting the right founding team in place. Incidentally, YC, as the preeminent accelerator, has gotten this right to edge out other ones.

From my standpoint, I enjoy early-stage company building, have been operational in starting and scaling a startup very recently, enjoy the dynamic of co-creating, going-to-market and scaling with a co-founder or two (with a fair split), and working across a small portfolio.

Happy to trade notes on this or connect if you're a builder, email in bio.
Depends on your appliances. 30A @ 240V is 7.2 kW; which is plenty if you don't have AC or electric heating or cooling. If you do have those, you'll at least need to be sure not to run any two of those at once, if you can run them at all; you need to be careful with things like dryers, heaters, heat pumps, air conditioner, oven, stove, water heaters (especially tankless, but check your amps on an electric storage water heater too). Well pumps can be big loads too; mine is rated at 30A by itself, but many people have smaller pumps or utility water.

FWIW, the F-150 Lightning car to home option only goes up to 40A, which isn't that much more.
Wow, how evil! Like a movie villain!
I think it depends on the type of bike and how you ride it. As far as I'm aware most dutch people consider riding a "normal"[1] dutch bike to be inherently safe.

If you're riding a fast racing bike or a mountain bike, you're probably engaged in slightly more risky activity, and people do wear helmets on those bikes.

But that will not be achieved by just shoveling in writing indiscriminately.
Here's some more Nazi rhetoric for you:

1. I believe that there are many more racist right-wing people than left-wing people, both in the US and outside, even when excluding the far-right.

2. I believe there is a significant problem with racism in the way black people are treated in the US, especially regarding law enforcement, courts, prisons, etc. As far as I understand, this is not as much of a significant issue with other races (but I am willing to concede I am wrong on that).

3. I believe that there is a lot of unjustified right-wing narratives portraying black people as being more violent.

4. I believe that a lot of the anti-immigration sentiment is also in part due to racism.

5. I believe that another significant issue with racism in the US is the way black people (and also people from other non-white races) are effectively segregated, either due to a significant fraction of them not being able to live in the same places as white people, or simply due to historical reasons.

6. I also believe that the latter is in fact, the single greatest contributor to all racist problems in the US, rather than some other insignificant (manufactured) issues. However, I also believe that this issue is vastly harder to solve in the US than in other countries.

Does that sound Nazi to you?

It seems like you felt personally attacked by my opinions.

As you can see, I can just as easily attack right-wing ideology... and mean it!

Yes, advocating such widespread changes to society on the basis of a specific interpretation/understanding of the constitution (the root document of our government) fits the meanings of the word almost too perfectly:

> Arising from or going to a root or source; basic.

>Departing markedly from the usual or customary; extreme or drastic.

> Relating to or advocating fundamental or revolutionary changes in current practices, conditions, or institutions.

> designed to remove the root of a disease or all diseased and potentially diseased tissue

> of or relating to the origin

> favoring extreme changes in existing views, habits, conditions, or institutions

> Favoring fundamental change, or change at the root cause of a matter.

> That being said I never understood why would anyone want to use this language for web development

On the backend, at least, Rust would be a significant improvement over Ruby, for example, once a business has gotten past the initial prototyping phase. I've spent years in Ruby development, and the duck typing makes refactoring a production system scary and drama-prone. No matter how carefully you proceed, there will be gaps in test coverage, and you'll regularly see new bugs in production from the refactoring work that would never happen in a typed language. I would gladly work in Rust over Ruby in a web development context. (Although my preferences lean towards Rust, there are no doubt many other typed languages that could do a good job here as well.)
>There's lots of evidence going back to egyptian times supporting the science behind this.

No there isn't. There isn't any science behind this to begin with.

Exactly right.

>I suspect that fifty years from now we will have built on all the existing knowledge (including historical) and have a more refined understanding put together.

Hopefully we'll continue with the knowledge of science based biological facts that are no longer in vogue: humans are a dimorphic species that come in male in female. That is what science has taught us.
Sure, but the Devil's in the detail, especially when there's nothing obvious.

I think "Practical Common Lisp" is pretty good.

It's more theoretical, but kind of fun. It's a touch more academic (IMHO) than Practical Common Lisp, but pretty good.
Git patches two critical remote code execution security flaws
LangChain is very cool. Templates and composability are the way forward.

I'm guessing that most folks haven't created composable prompts, so a few experiences on why this stuff is necessary. I've been building a language learning app and it makes heavy use of GPT-3 [1], which has made clear a number of things for me:

1) Composability is fundamental to leveraging language models. You can't get language models to just generate things in one go. It's rather like a human. If you're writing a book, you start with an idea, then an outline, then a chapter outline, then writing paragraphs... Or in our case, generate a flashcard deck description, then vocab, then example sentences, etc.

2) Externalized prompt templates are also important. Engineers need to be able interface with experts who can create custom prompts. E.g. in our case, I need experts who speaks to build prompts specific to other languages for a language learning app [2].

3) Unit testing is critical. There is no linter for a prompt. I have made so many typos over the last year that broke things. OpenAI has released several new models over the last 2 years. Anthropic is coming out with a model. You need to have assurances your prompts work. I've actually had to start building a basic unit tester for our prompts because of this... [3] (please someone else do this so I don't have to)

4) external data is the next step forward for large language models. E.g. in my case, someone may want to learn about the history/culture of a country and we may want to reference existing articles on it since LLMs are known to hallucinate. We need to be able to interface with the web and databases easily. I'm not convinced that LangChain is the write layer of abstraction for this. I suspect/hope that the next version of GPT will have some significant advances in this regard.

> If ground-to-air missiles are ready to protect the White House way back in the ’70s or ’80s, then why were none used to defend The Pentagon from the huge aircraft that crashed into it in 2001?

The White House is not the Pentagon.

Also, while there have been rumors for decades of White House SAMs for decades (usually MANPADS – but sometimes something more capable), they’ve never been officially acknowledged and, and AFAICT the only thing that has ever become non-speculative public knowledge was an Avenger system that was photographed on a rooftop across the street during an alert in 2019 (by which time it was also known that D.C. had a post- and motivated-by- 9/11 layered air defense system, including NASAMS batteries.

But when this occurred, “before cell phones were invented”, if it wasn’t an embellishment added to the story, it was probably just something that was said to drive in the point “don’t ever make that mistake again”.

The reasonable interpretation at first is that Michelle is trans Jeff, post-transition.

But then it goes off the rails. We quickly learn Michelle is somebody entirely other, whom we learn practically nothing about despite that she authored an extremely likeable Jeff. We learn that the other, peevish, Jeff is just Jeff from before college, before he was scripted up. We also learn practically nothing about him. The only character we learn anything about is fake Jeff, and then only a variety of impressions of him.

It has elements of a good story, but omits the good parts.
