I wanted to see if what all these influencers were saying was true and so I tried to use ChatGPT to create a webapp the other day.

The first problem is that it's totally overloaded at the moment if you use the app and so even just logging in is almost impossible. After 20 minutes I managed to get in.

I first asked it to come up with 5 different ideas for the app. All of them were generic rubbish like a blog or suchlike so I asked it to be more niche and specific and it managed to throw up things like:

* A Project management webapp
* Farm management software
* Todo List

I picked the farm management software which I actually now interpreted as crop management software. This is a very competitive market lots of big software companies doing this already but I thought ok I'll give it a try.

I asked it to build a basic landing page which is initially refused to do. When I did prompt it correctly it built a basic HTML only page with no styling and basically no content other than a header and a couple of fake testimonials.

It then refused to style the thing at all and closed the chat. I then managed to prompt it correctly and it updated the font and stuck some stuff in boxes.

During this process it told me several times that it will not create a landing page.

I then gave up on the landing page and tried to get it to be able to help me write the code on the frontend to allow the user to define the crop areas on google maps. It spat out just the JS (no html) and which showed how to draw a polygon on the map basically the code you would get by looking up the google maps documentation.

During this process the text reply was very slow like character by character and it kicked me out several times.

I think your jobs are safe at the moment...

Had something similar while setting up apple TV on a non-apple device for my parents, also had no apple devices.

Turns out, in my case at least, the warning was a little misleading.

It required me to log into their apple / icloud account and accept some terms, I did this with a normal browser (again non-apple) and the warning went away.

May be different in your case as I was setting up a new account for them.
Never hire externally at seed, you're not a mature enough organisation (unless there is a specific individual you have in mind who would be a natural fit for some other reason).

If you're leading the product development you're going to find it difficult to do a CEO-type role. Usually you need someone in the business building solutions to customer problems - that's you - and someone else going out into the world finding customers and selling the product. You don't mention who your cofounder is, but if they're the going-out-selling person then it's more natural for them to be CEO.

If they're not, and you don't have a going-out-selling person, when you really need to figure out how you're going to connect with customers and everything else should come second.
I often wonder when or if we might see a photo of a planet around another star and what might it take to do it.
What I find interesting is that it seems, in the US, that the same people who reject the control of the government in things like guns, taxes, state-level decisions, etc., are the same that want to impose control of the government on things like marriage, sex, etc.
In 2014, I've met in Krakow a Ukrainian woman in her sixties, feeding pigeons just next to the Wisla river. It wasn't anything uncommon, during the Crimean crisis hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians migrated to Poland. She asked me in Polish/Ukrainian how to reach the main square — she has been in Krakow for many days but hasn't been able to see the city attractions. I had few minutes to spare so I decided to walk her to the old city (~15 min walk). The short walk transformed into a tour over the restaurants — we had to visit every kitchen to ask if they would employ her as a kitchen aid; then over the churches — she was an orthodox, I believe, but she prayed in every catholic church for her family, Ukraine and finally, for me. When we have finally reached the main square, she was so authentically delighted with the place — she stopped everywhere to admire and marvel on various old buildings and... tourists. She was so happy to be able to talk (me, being a poor substitute for a translator) with tourists from USA and western Europe. Tourists were also happy to give her some small souvenirs (e.g. very small American flag you can attach to your backpack).

All in all, the short walk took few hours, she was very talkative and I've learned a lot about her life in the central Ukraine and I've been invited to visit her anytime. The thing I will remember the most is how she appreciated the world around her, everything was so interesting and new — a world-view foreign to most of the people I know. It was a very enriching walk and I don't regret it, even if it destroyed my daily routine ;)
> The arrangement has no legal weight as a marriage: every state bans bigamy or polygamy.

And I think it's important to remember there are reasons behind this - societies where polygamy has historically been allowed have had a ton of issues with women not entering these relationships out of free choice, nor having a choice over whether other women were brought into the relationship.

Polyamory is certainly a practice of consent and communication, and for those who do enter poly relationships with open eyes (and hearts I guess!), more power to you. And I'm glad some rights are being recognised. But we must still be cautious not to throw out some of the protections these old laws offer, even while trying not to stifle positive social change.

I started watching PBS SpaceTime recently and it really is an exceptionally entertaining channel.
So why do we need even stronger laws against protesting if it’s so ineffectual ?
No one is debating that. The question is what do you do with them after the wrong has been done. Which is exactly why the marbles were referred to in this article.
If I needed some admin interface etc I'd use Django and then everything else I'd write in Go. There were occasions where I'd write a service in Python and then rewrite it in Go. Never found that I needed something and it was lacking in the standard library. It's very fine experience.
Then what I like the most is Go is extremely reliable. I had Go services running with a couple of years uptime, flawless.
I also struggle a lot with jazz. It's very rare for me to find a record that I truly enjoy. Lately I tend to listen mostly to "elevator jazz" playlists on Spotify, which is kinda easy to listen to and helps me focus. "actual" jazz requires more concentration and it's just generally not something I'm in the mood for most of the time, that's for sure.

PCR 7 doesn't just indicate whether secure boot was enabled, it also contains information about which certificates were used to boot. Obviously if you'll happily sign something unsigned the unsigned thing can just fake a measurement that contains the expected certificate, but I'd be interested to see what the event log looks like on one of these systems when it boots an unsigned binary.
I desperately miss static typing.
So that might make a difference fir this 1 product, but Amazon is absolutely full of Aliexpress tat. It's more aliexpress than genuine CE marked products nowadays
Except those in the "USA sphere" that had pro-US dictators forced upon them - like Chile, Argentina, Guatemala, Indonesia, etc. - even Spain, Portugal, South Korea, Taiwan and Brazil suffered greatly under US-supported (to varying degrees) dictatorships.

Also AMD seems to underestimate how many people may just be curious to use compute functionality with their consumer based card. I was ultra excited to get a rdna2 card to make a dedicated linux system with a friendly gpu. Gaming works, but davinci resolve doesn’t, can’t use AMF for screen recording or streaming. I have a 3060ti back in a box abd parts for a “work computer,” and I thought I would work a bit with my system with the 6700xt but can only really game, screen record, and edit video with kaden live using my intel cpu.

I watched a video over the weekend about how a new amd apu using rdna3 will make entry level/cheap graphics cards useless, but thats not really going to be the case if you want to dip your feet into utilizing an entry level card for workloads. Gamers turn their nose up at dinky gtx 1650s but at least you can use it to edit video. Theres no wonder intel doesnt see AMD as real competition in the space.
I know a few poly folks. They seem happy, albeit mostly in a “this is fine” kind of way. Is that due to the stigma or actual unhappiness? Who knows. Plenty of societies in history had relationships like this.

Not too keen on poly groups with kids though. That seems like a huge issue with custody. Kids have so little agency as it is.
> There isn’t a standard PCR with some standard value indicating that a certain image was booted.

No, but there is a standard PCR with a standard value indicating that a certain certificate was used to sign what was booted, and Windows is signed with its own certificate rather than the third party UEFI CA one.

Leakage rate is ~1% per year. However the gas isn’t so important you need to replace the window as argon is only up to 16% better than air.

It’s worth it to manufacture windows like this, but unless you’re in the arctic circle I wouldn’t worry about the difference.

But apparently issues like iterator invalidation and other mutability conflicts don’t rate.
Our Architect in Ireland did this for us. He found the builders and also hired a QS and other people to manage cost. It was not at all cheap but well worth it as we were in no position to supervise ourselves. Even for a modest build, it was well worth the cost.

I can't understand how people can spend $$$ on building a new house but try to go cheap on the Architect... All you get is a McMansion.

IMO It's because - going back as far as the constitutional convention - political ideology in America has largely comprised of aesthetic movements that wear the shells of theory and policy for memetic power.

I had a religious studies professor make a - reasonably evidenced - claim that the whole 'seperation of church and state' stuff during the revolution was widely understood to basically be lip service. The vast majority of Americans were under the impression that they were starting a Christian country with a Christian government. That same professor made the - less evidenced - conclusion that the implicit divide between that expectation and the legal reality has underscored a considerable portion of American political turmoil to date.

Somehow I’d thought the voids were usually evacuated but that doesn’t really make sense with the pressure involved.

I guess a dungeon full of sex slaves counts as polyamory too.
It's only tree shaking the JRE itself, not your whole program (unfortunately..). So as I understand it, it means no dynamically calling arbitrary classes in the JRE, but that's a much narrower limitation.

Final binary size is naturally vastly reduced b/c you won't have the whole JRE, but last I tested you still end up with very chunky executables (minimal JFX GUIs were coming out to 100-200 MB)
Doing a quick check on "Traditional Family Values" - Wikipedia lists 6 "official" and ~50 "unofficial" mistresses for Louis XV (King of France from 1715 to 1774). It notes that the Church was not exactly thrilled with this...but it was pretty much a matter of private words & feelings. RHIP, and official public criticism, sanction, etc. never seem to have been on the table.

No they can’t because they need to be seen as the “official adaptation”. Something similar doesn’t get the same PR/marketing blitz appeal.

I work in the industry and the above poster is mostly right. Executives buy IP for the sake of association marketing “Watch the adaptation of the best seller series”.

BUT the industry suffers from a dearth of competence. If you work in the visual arts or make creative work in some way you would be familiar with the process of ‘uglification’ where a client with no creative taste gets to destroy the work of a brilliant creative through an avalanche of notes and changes. The creative might want to protect their work but depending on your ability to protect it, they might not.

‘Uglification’ happens in the film/TV industry all the time. People with little knowledge of film history call the shots and they have terrible taste. The result is they hire bad writers, bad directors and produce poor output. And that uglification pipeline is how adaptations get destroyed.

In example:

Executive who doesn’t know anything about “Wheel of Time” owns rights. He hires a writer who doesn’t know anything either. Writer reads the book, doesn’t like it, decides to use it as a platform to write whatever he wants plus he also needs the money. He gives it “a modern spin”, executive likes it. Executive then hires hot advertising director who’s no good but is hot in LA. Director hates the books, thinks it’s dumb but sees it as his big opportunity to break through into narrative film. Everyone involved now doesn’t care about the original books at all, and thus they will do whatever they fancy.

It goes on and on and what you get at the end is mush. Unless someone at the helm - director, writer or executive - is absolutely resolute that he wants a good adaptation, nothing accurate will come out of it.
The annoying part is they're a necessary evil.

I was recently looking for a music book. I could have it delivered next day for included with Prime, and would cost me nothing.

Ordering from one of the UK's most popular music stores on the other hand was more expensive, charged £5 for delivery and said 3-5 days delivery.
This is all smokescreen. Cuba is perfectly capable of trading with Canada and it does. The citizens are still destitute due to government corruption.
It also depends how close the nearest bin is, some places/countries are less averse to bins than others (oh no someone might put a bomb in it!), some also cater better for it that others, by adding an almost zero cost metal plate etc to extinguish the cigarette rather than setting the bin on fire, or just providing actual smoking bins/trays as well

This is the "not what you know, it's WHO you know" pattern. I imagine it's likely to accelerate. It'll still be important to go to the right university and pay expensive tuition - probably even MORE important - but you'll be able to have AI do most of the tedious, irrelevant academic side while you focus on the very important business of going to parties with the right people.

Robert Jordan's wife was his editor. Once you understand that, you understand why his books are so poorly edited. A competent and empowered editor would surely have insisted on literally thousands of pages of cuts across the series.
It can write a ten line function faster than I can, and my code has a lot of ten line functions in it. Even for trivial code, it's a force multiplier (moreso when plumbed into an IDE)
I watch my shows a quarter-hour at a time. Therefore I stick to their children's animated content that's often without dialog or plot beyond a single five minute scene. Hearing about these trials and tribulations, it sounds like I have chosen wisely.
Yep, credit cards are definitely of interest to us too, but unfortunately we haven't been able to find a way to do so in a privacy-friendly manner yet, which is the entire point.

Two good points:

"One immediately notices that most of the keywords have the same length. This is unlike English programming languages where keywords have greater differences in lengths (e.g. cons, display vs. 建， 出). I do not think this will be a serious readability problem, because even without syntax highlighting, the code above looks very clear to me. This is probably going to be a matter of personal taste.
The code is compact, as the keywords are one or two characters long."
Can I just throw more money at the problem so that I'm less stressed and offload more decisions to the builders?

Do you think that would work with paying someone to write some code for you? Do you think that the highest paid consultants write the best code? Of course not. There's a high probability that you'll just pay more for a badly written app. You need someone who you know cares about the product, who comes recommended by people you trust, and ultimately someone who you can check on and verify that they're actually doing a good job.

Builders are the same.
> t helps if you remember the context in which Secure Boot was created. Back then, boot sector viruses and similar malware were common.

At the time the Secure Boot was conceived, boot sector viruses were extinct by about a decade. What was new, was the VM* set of instructions, and the scare that there could be a new kind of boot sector viruses slash hypervisors, which could do a bad things to your computer. There was never such a virus in reality, only hypothesized.
