1. I expect it to know it's not possible to increase brightness of an alarm and reject incongruent requests.

2. This particular implementation is limited to operating on an English text in its finalized form, but a different first-class LLM implementation of an AI assistant could work directly on some form of phonetic input. ChatGPT is pretty good at dealing with such ambiguities, e.g. it already understands questions written in IPA notation. It also understands Japanese written in romaji, which is a non-native phonetic spelling of a language with tons of homonyms.

In other words that argument depends on the available evidence rather than speculation, like, you know, how science should be done.
I think everyone trying to attribute some kind of 4D chess maneuvers to these actions is massively overestimating tech CEOs.
> highly competent, domestically popular & highly trusted government

Current approval rating of the Kishida cabinet is about 25%. The disapproval rating is 50%.

To be fair, people are never happy with the government here, and come election time they’re always happy enough to not bother voting at all.
"gh pr" runs several git commands (5 to be exact):

% gh pr checkout 132
RUN: git fetch origin refs/pull/132/head:joris_tests_20230119
From github.com:BurntSushi/toml-test
* [new ref] refs/pull/132/head -> joris_tests_20230119
RUN: git checkout joris_tests_20230119
Switched to branch 'joris_tests_20230119'
RUN: git config branch.joris_tests_20230119.remote origin
RUN: git config branch.joris_tests_20230119.pushRemote origin
RUN: git config branch.joris_tests_20230119.merge refs/pull/132/head

It just so happens that my local "gh" build prints this as I was debugging a problem some months ago and I never bothered building it again without this on account of being a lazy git.

The entire reason I have "gh" on my system is to easily check out PRs and to set them up so I can push to them with a minimum of mucking about. I use it for noting else.

I do agree it would be nicer to also add the git commands (plural!), but I suspect they just didn't because it's multiple commands to get the same experience. That is: UI reasons, not anything sinister.

> proprietary "gh cli"

It's not "proprietary": https://github.com/cli/cli/blob/trunk/LICENSE

And as you can see in the output above, it's just a wrapper around some git commands. If you want to call this "proprietary" then you should also call tig, got, and other alternative interfaces to git "proprietary".
I guess you are confusing two things - think of a mark on a real line at x somewhere between 17 mm and 18 mm from the origin. If you measure its location with a ruler, you might only be able to say that it is somewhere between 17 mm and 18 mm from the origin, but this uncertainty in your measurement in no way constraints x to only be located at integer millimeter positions or something like that.

There is not even a real limit imposed by the uncertainty principle, you can measure positions as precisely as you want, you just have to pay in momentum uncertainty. Where we really seem to run into a wall is that if you keep making the measurement more and more precise, you need higher and higher energies to achieve ever shorter wavelengths and dumping a lot of energy into a small volume to measure the position really precisely will eventually result in black holes.
TBH I think the average Sr. Developer is ~130k in the US. Of course this varies so much depending on the role and company.
Training and the guard rails.

Beyond that, if it becomes built into the (MS) tools that people are using then convenience is going to be a very hard barrier for Google (or anyone else) to overcome.
This company will not reach AGI. Let's be real there for a moment. This company doesn't even have a decent shot at Google's lunch if Google comes to its senses soon, which it will.

> I have no commute. I prefer music when cooking or cleaning or whatnot. My exercise is usually biking, and I don't listen to anything for that.

This is the heart of it. I generally prefer listening to people talking as opposed to music. So instead of music I listen to podcasts when doing chores, going on walks, or going to the gym.

Although, when I stopped commuting my listening time went way down.
> > shifting default workflows away from the standard client is one of those changes that doesn't serve users

> There is no "default workflow" for git

The default workflow, as in what Github promotes. Github's default, not git's. That's what's meant.
Not a single command, but looking up other repositories is not necessary. Pull requests will create refs in the repository against which the PR was created, which you can then fetch.

git fetch origin refs/pull/123/head
git checkout FETCH_HEAD

This is actually somewhat preferable to me, because I don't always want to _checkout_ the PR. For example if I’m looking to integrate it into my branch via the CLI, its a

git fetch origin refs/pull/123/head
git merge --ff-only (or whatever) FETCH_HEAD

You say if we ban one substance, they'll just come out with a less tested, less understood, and likely worse new one. I probably agree with this!

Then you say we have to just take it away, like a kid who is being irresponsible with a ball. I understand this means you think we should ban the materials.

If we ban these substances, won't research just pour all the more heavily into the new ones, causing the 1st scenario you mentioned? Are you suggesting we ban research into _any_ new materials whatsoever?

It's not difficult to safely remediate most of it. A P100 respirator, Tyvek suit, water to spray down the areas to work on, and a garden hose to hose off yourself/suit. If inside, it gets more tricky, but not too different from mold remediation. The toughest or most expensive part is usually finding a site that will take the waste bags.

Also, the guy in your link complains about a lack of warning. If he read the warnings that cam with that grinding wheel, he would have been fine. Even if it doesn't say stuff about specifically about asbestos, the warning about silicosis has practically the same precautions.
Nothing to be ashamed of either. Several years ago, there was a GitHub Desktop app that neatly contained git binaries with added GitHub UIs. That's what finally made Git "click" for me. I no longer use it, and tend to use the Git CLI and JetBrains' tooling, but I still enjoy GitHub-CLI to easily checkout PRs.
It's wonderful that anyone can create a blog, YouTube channel, podcast, etc.

At the same time, the math means that at some point you'll have so many creators that it's hard to get the attention of an audience. And a lot of the folks who created some kind of content channel because someone promised that it would be an easy way to make a lot of money then realized that they bought a shovel that they really don't want to use to dig.

They aren't doing scrum. At the very least, just "do scrum" externally and internally do kanban. Management is clearly dumb enough to believe it.

I've found that quite often, the people suggesting that "they way we do it" mitigates a risk don't understand either aspect. Their goal is to achieve the feeling of having made it go away. They only want to do the thing and compliance is getting in the way, as they see it. Understanding the risk often works against that, as it might put them in a position of having to understand just how much effort they are wasting as they live with lots of residual risk that their superiors don't actually want.

To put it another way, using a risk-mitigation approach instead of compliance only works when you have honest, earnest, and full good faith investment in the process. In practice, this is incredibly rare. We all know, are, or have been engineers who cannot imagine a system they wrote running without them having the ability to SSH in and sudo at will without having to justify anything.

This is where compliance comes in. It sets standards and forces the issue. Even bad faith, low-effort implementations wind up having to meet a whole series of very clear - if occasionally box-tick-y - standards.
My trick with podcasts (as with books and other content) is to be interest driven, and to seek out podcasts which address my interests.

That might be searching for specific podcasts within a topic area, specific creators, or (and most usefully) searching by episode for a specific topic or interview subject.

Occasionally there will be references within one podcast to another which I find useful as well, though ... this occurs far less often than such promotions are presented, most especially those which are commercial promotions rather than the more-organic spontaneous mentions of a host or guest. (Many of these are of course not entirely spontaneous, the best however are.)

I've had a few good experiences with referrals from other people online, which may be how I came across the History of Philosophy Without Any Gaps podcast (absolutely excellent). Several other "History of..." series have mutually recommended one another, notably of Rome, Byzantium, and China. You're Not So Smart being another.

Podcasts based on programmes I've known elsewhere (usually radio series) are also a source: CBC Ideas, On the Media, This American Life, and a few others. These ... can be good, though I'm finding some make the pod transition less gracefully than one might hope.

Good podcast search tools are another challenge. The Podcast Republic app has a search over all episodes known to it. I don't use Apple iTunes, though suspect it may as well. There are a few Web-based podcast search sites, most have proved disappointing and/or annoying, and the most comprehensive one I've found has been throwing up CAPTCHAs incessantly, which rather entirely makes it useless. I believe that's ListenNotes.

I'd really love to see a good podcast search option under DuckDuckGo, hint, hint...

A/B testing is the worst. YouTube tried out the idea of going straight from app-load into their TikTok mode (or whatever it’s called) on me a handful of times. I had a feeling they were collecting as much data as possible so every time I just uninstall the app for 24 hours. “Bad dog, no treat.”

ChatGPT is search. Maybe not for you and me, but I've seen plenty of articles about how Gen Z uses TikTok as a search engine.

ChatGPT cuts out a lot of friction of getting to an answer. With traditional search engines, you type in your search, scroll through results, click into a site, then scroll the page looking for your answer. The trend is drifting towards a more direct query-response. Google already does this with the answer box but not every search on Google returns it.
I can expand on that a bit- the weights in the big generative models are still basically too small to hold a significantly number of the input set with anything we would call compression today. This forces the model to strip the input down to some discovered bare structure, which when humans do this we call it things like “archetypes” or “theme” and it’s not generally copyrightable. Many LLM aren’t even trained for multiple epochs so it’s not optimized for memorization as much as it is forced to extrapolate on future examples. I’m arguing that the problem is that the computer has no knowledge of where the line is when it becomes plagiarism in our courts, not that it is always plagiarizing. I think it clearly can’t be always plagiarizing from anecdotal experience of using them and from just doing back of the envelop math on how many bits it has to memorize each input string.
It is a for profit company in everything but name. That's my main complain.
It has Musk, Thiel and Livingston amongst its initial investors, all known as the greatest philantropists of our time. /s

I don't understand why they put this thin veneer on top of what they are doing. Maybe Thiel was burnt with the bad press surrounding Palantir and this is preventive damage control.
Every sprint we have 1 person in rotation for bug duty. It works quite well. Overtime role takes some refactoring and tech depth as part of bug duty.

> with a debit card you don't get that spending power back during the process.

At least for consumer debit cards, that's not the case. Regulation E requires provisional credits (until the investigation and/or chargeback process is complete) in essentially all instances of fraud.

> And if it's international dispute raised after 14 days you might get no where.

Where do you get that number from?

At least in the US, federal law limits liability for lost and stolen cards to $50 (when reported within two business days) or $500 (within 60 days after receiving your statement). For non-lost/stolen cards, which covers all online fraud (due to stolen card numbers, compromised merchants etc.), there is no such time limit, as far as I know.

And these are just the legal caps on consumer liability: Most issuers go far above and beyond that, and extend zero liability for effectively all scenarios, just like for credit cards.

Yes! Search is an incredibly important tool.

I have recently started using Zotero, which can create offline copies of saved webpages and papers. You can then search their contents.

Last week I bookmarked Yacy, which is a search engine and which seems to allow you to define your own web index. However, I haven't gotten around to seeing how it really works...
Spotify pays significantly above the average, though. Not as high as the top-tier FANGs, but still high.
$3k is a lot of money to rent music. It's kind of odd to realize people have spent that kind of money to rent music and have nothing to show for it without continuing to spend money.

$3k would still buy a very large physical collection. Most people didn't have that kind of money into a physical collection back in the day.

Vinyl prices are a joke, but CDs are often cheaper than a digital download if bought new and they are easy to find for $1-2 used.

It's kind of amazing you're OK having spent $3k renting music but think the only option would be to go back to piracy if streaming rental isn't available.

Don't forget moving huge quantities of money out of Saudi (after MBS took over), Russia, China (after Xi's anti-corruption efforts), Brazil, and India.

The price of BTC tracks with MBS and Xi's moves, too. Also correlates with housing prices in Vancouver, BC.

It is not "tone policing". That is an accusation guaranteed to derail any discussion.

Nukes and geothermal simply cost more than solar and wind: nukes, many, many times more. Spending a billion dollars gets you N GW of solar or wind, and N/M, M>>1, of others. Generally, if you need a steam turbine to keep working, you will trail behind anything with zero opex.

Hydrogen has a plausible place in long-term (i.e. strategic) underground storage, in steel refining and other manufacturing processes, and (as LH2) in the future direction of aviation. It might have other roles, such as an intermediate form when using ammonia. Trying to force it where it is a bad fit adds noise.
> Pretty much nothing in the renewable sector is a "viable business case" without
some sort of government interference.

While not 100% a flat faced lie, this is intentionally misleading.

All energy production is heavily subsidised by the state, but of all methods of producing electricity as of Jan 23 2022, renewables are the cheapest.

Issues with storage, human rights, environmental impact, are a mixture of lies and red herring. How many human / environmental tragedies resulted from fossil fuel extraction?

People against battery storage don't actually care about that but they know that you do. "The card says moops"
I'm going to slightly lean against this notion.
For me personally the actual value of HN is the number of people that have some neat insights on niche topics,
rather than it being a "good" place for discussion in comparison to chat.

> Also chat platforms can't bring valuable discussion like hn . Most chat devloves to dramas and fight.

This to me seems more like a function of the aforementioned people involved.
I've personally had plenty of valuable discussions in random chatrooms.
Even in more active ones.

Meanwhile on HN, a decent portion of the comments also is drama of some kind. (rude remarks, off-hand comments, FUD spreading)

Mind you, either medium has it's high's and low's, but I just think they don't differentiate themselves much in that regard.
It probably depends significantly on the specific communities one engages with.

> Because there's no topic to follow, nobody read back original posts and it became personal.

To me this same issues exists on HN, possibly even more prevalent by virtue of being a news aggregator.
People frequently do not even appear to read the article before arguing about things (mostly the title).

This sometimes makes comments feel like they are done in bad faith, or out of hostility towards the topic/author.
Which I don't think makes a good climate for discussion.

On some topics even going slightly against status quo can result in gray or dead comments,
even when the comment is well argued.
Meanwhile, some hostile comments are not pushed against enough.

I think the value of the discussions within a community depends far more on how much the community polices it's standards by discouraging unwanted behavior rather than the medium in which it happens.

But ignoring that, the lack of notifications on replies, which is something I don't really mind,
also seems antithetical to the concept of discussion.

Some threads don't end by merit of their arguments but because one of the parties involved did not reply,
possibly because of a lack of visibility.

If you have the time to listen to four 30-minute podcast episodes, you have the time to listen to a single 2-hour podcast episode.

Working my way through the back catalogue of my current favorite podcast, Reconcilable Differences (200 episodes at 1.5-3 hours each), took me around 12-15 months.
Englebart also substantially inspired Kay, but each of these people would probably have not had success without the network of ispirations. In fact I think we should talk about it like this; Bush->Englebart->Kay->Berners-Lee (superficially) rather than the individual on their own.
It's also interesting that none of these people were at the head of big successful companies, though not surprising since that basically involves a lot of compromises.
I watch them in 1.5x speed and skip chapters that don't interest me if there is timestamp on youtube.
>Looking at efficiency alone is not enough.

In general I would say I actually agree with this. It can be perfectly feasible to use an energy source that's terribly inefficient in some intuitive sense, but as long as it's economical to do so, poses no environmental harm, and you're getting significantly more energy out than you're putting in, you can be as inefficient as you want.

Now that said, I don't think that this kind of general truism is terribly responsive in this particular case, because it's nevertheless going to be true that inefficiency, and whatever sense you construe it, can indeed be a deal breaker and I think that's what GP is intending to communicate with respect to h2, biofuels, etc.
I feel like most people would see payment in USD is as a positive, not a negative.
In addition to the In Our Time suggestion by a sibling comment, I can recommend Sean Carroll’s Mindscape podcast (https://www.preposterousuniverse.com/podcast/).

I think you've misunderstood the parent comment. They were saying the current title could be misinterpreted to mean "base salary is being reduced by 6%". I didn't think that, but I can see where they are coming from.
It sounds like OP is doing this. The point would be that even doing that, you're not making progress on team goals. (Your goals are instead being set by the interrupting tickets.) There might be 200 pts/wk or whatever, but it isn't going to be going into the project your PM is wanting it to.
