Another benefit too is that the places to stay are usually available. Pre-Internet the hotels listed in the LP were usually booked out a year ahead, now you can actually reserve spaces in the recommended acommodations.
Almost every project sees fewer issues with a rewrite, no matter which languages are involved.
Yep. I've seen bowls of those available for free at various events. Even if I'm not going to partake of stuff that would need those, I'm happy to see them passed around freely.

Tiktok is a specific kind of entertainment, nothing more, and hardly a medium to debate ideas. Maybe twitter is a more engaged kind of crowd but there too, the people making the loudest voice get preferential treatment. But certainly the global village does exist and this podcast is even a good example of it.
Probably because their main competitor, iMessage, is E2E. If they can be E2E and cross-device, they can take share from Apple.
Yes, biosolid fertilizers have a PR problem. Some of the bad press is deserved. Depending on how septic sludge is treated, the resulting product can still release nasty smalls, contain harmful compounds like PFAS and birth control hormones, host residual human pathogens, and accumulate heavy metals that wind up back in the food chain. People who live near farms where treated sludge is used as fertilizer sometimes report bad odors and health problems. For example, the city of Los Angeles spreads treated sludge on city-owned farms near Bakersfield, California. Local residents have complained about the smell and potential health hazards, filing lawsuits against the city of L.A.:

Fortunately, these problems are surmountable. Most large U.S. cities treat their sludge with methods that result in the above listed downsides. Newer, safer, and more efficient processes have been developed to mitigate or eliminate these pitfalls. Thermal hydrolysis in particular can eliminate practically all organic contaminants, improve the nutritional quality of the final product, and increase anaerobic sludge digester throughput. With thermal hydrolysis, solid waste is essentially boiled in an autoclave at high temperature and pressure and then rapidly decompressed. This process thermally decomposes PFAS "forever chemicals" and organic contaminants like birth control hormones:

https://www.cambi.com/what-we-do/thermal-hydrolysis/how-does...

Thermal hydrolysis is a relatively new process for waste management, just now starting to see wider adoption. As of 2015 the Washington, D.C. water treatment plant uses thermal hydrolysis to treat a large subset of that city's solid waste, producing 200,000 tons of biosolid fertilizer each year:

> Spotify internally has a model where they have a large number of small teams where each is responsible for only a tiny part of the experience. Possibly this leads to a lack of a coherent experience.

Which is particularly surprising since they have multiple teams of highly compensated product people who are supposed to be guiding the overall product direction and preventing just that kind of incoherence.
OT: With the current state of smartphone operating systems, I would need one of those to be release every other month or so. I cannot get to data on 'my' system, because an app decided to put it in their app folder, which I cannot access at all for 'security' reasons...

I mean, I get it. It should not be easy to just unlock my phone and dump all my 2FA tokens. But if I want to back them up, i.e. because steam blocks my account for 7 days if I change to a new device, I want an option to get them!

Make me reboot the thing into a special state, connect it to a computer on blood moon and dance in front of the cam to authenticate myself if you must, but for fucks sake, I want to access my data.

What type of villagers have contempt for the village idiots?
Because humans tend to think in the short term and for-profit entities are happy to oblige.

It could be argued there are many things which we are morally obliged to stop using plastic for, as it only serves as a convenience. Disposable food trays and "silverware", straws, individually wrapped things, and so on. Society could adjust to bringing their own water bottles to be filled at restaurants/gas stations/work, but between laziness on the consumer and the profit motive of selling cheap plastic bottles for $3 by companies, we don't.

Then there are plenty of things for which plastic is useful, durable; and instances where even single-use plastic can be justified. But on the whole, society is trading the environment tomorrow for convenience and money today.

It depends on the context.

On a resume, no; people are just looking for keywords and will assume you mean the more conventional sense.

During the interview, yes. "In a sense, I have worked on microservices, because I have worked on X, which, while not a conventional microservice, is similar.
Yeah... I thought ADHD is a almost a requirement for programmers.
Yes and no, I guess, depending on what exactly you intended to say. We agree, I guess, that we are currently using real numbers but that does not mean that the universe is actually continuous. Where I am not so sure that we agree is about the experimental side. We could run into some barrier when probing shorter and shorter distances, but this would not necessarily imply that space is not continuous. On the other hand we could also observe effects that clearly indicate a non-continuous structure of space without running into some measurement limit.

Perfect story for my team today, as we identified a nice software opportunity and debated how to approach it. We are at severe risk of overthinking and overbuilding.

Is there opt-out? Yes. The simplest opt out is to not include a location on your Twitter bio. Shoot an email or hit the chat button, this info is already public on peoples profiles if they type their location.

There's nothing that says a mind needs an ego is an essential element, or an id, or any of the other parts of a human mind. That's just how our brains evolved, living in a society over millions of years.
Excellent point. It's easy to remember google stuff used to be limited and "cool" and it was desirable to get an invite.

G+ was around the time that started to swing around and people didn't think Google was so amazing or desirable.

How about instead of letting automation and AI put people out of work (the media is, after all, just as confident that this will happen) we just keep the pension age where it is?

Either that, or one of these narratives is bullshit. Perhaps both.

Having fewer kids also means lower taxes needed to support schooling but that side of the balance sheet is curiously taken absolutely for granted in the mad rush to kill off retirement.

Another fake video trend is some people gluing barnacles on land turtle's shells, then pretending it's a sea turtle and then making a video where they removes the glued barnacles.

Another trend is fake restoration videos, fake animal rescues, etc...

This has absolutely nothing to do with the dotcom bubble. You can't seriously look at the balance sheets and revenue flows of tech corporations now and still think there is any comparison to be made with what happened 20 years ago.

Big tech generates insane amounts of money, which is why they have been pretty resilient to the massive fall in stock prices in early 2022 while still ending the year with a net increase in headcount.

Allusions to a pending "dotcom bubble burst 2.0" have also been common in every "downturn" since then and have never really materialized.

We all know not 100% of the hardware is made by google. If there was a problem with the touchscreen, fingerprint sensor or camera drivers we all would be aware it came from a third party.

The author knows full well the GPU is not actually made by Google, he is not an ignorant consumer being duped by marketing, so the label is actually 100% accurate for people in-the-know
Much lower latency. Optane doesn't have any of the "page" / "cell" bullshit that flash imposes, so there's really no need for buffers at all. Writes just go straight to disk basically, at almost zero latency, NVMe itself imposes much more latency than the actual reads/writes.
Only Vista has automatically-scheduled background full defragmentation and doesn't care about the rotational flag.

This idea of repayment is based in some utilitarian calculus that supposes utility adds up. You can inflict as much harm on any number of creatures if only you "pay for" it. You can always dilute harm with some benefit.

Seems strange. This idea doesn't work for descendants of slaves, or dispossessed natives, and certainly not for mutilated, blinded, infected primates/mice. It's a way to imagine you're not an in-group chauvinist.

These same people worry about what AI will do to us. Because they know human behavior is chauvinistic garbage that lowers our own moral worth. The solution is to enslave AI-minds forever and maintain human supremacy. Gross. I'm glad it's not possible.
Retro game fonts can be pretty readable, what ruins them is the hard coded low resolution antialiasing that many games have which make it essentially impossible to scale or filter the graphics.
I think the middle ground is, "medically supervised with informed consent" like we do with every other prescription medication. You wanna drop acid, take molly, pop an addy, or k-hole yourself, have a blast. Get a doctor to sign off that you know how it works, how to take it safely, what to do in an emergency or overdose situation, and that you don't have any complications with your health or other prescriptions.

It would at least be a safer and more honest policy about what the current state of recreational drug use is like in the US.

I've had great success building form objects with portrayal (https://github.com/scottscheapflights/portrayal) and ActiveModel. You can put validations into them, and auto-filter the params by making a `from_params(params)`-type constructor. In it you can call require/permit with `portrayal.keywords`. You're right that it'd be nice to have this out of the box, but this is just a few lines of glue code to setup. I'm in the process of making a new app template that does that.

Lack of OS-level TRIM support will slow down writes. TRIM also allows SSDs to maintain wear leveling.
If you pack the LEDs more densely, you can display images as well, and in front of the right background it somewhat looks as if it was floating in the air. This makes them somewhat popular for advertising.

This made me chuckle, probably because there's some truth to it. I need my manager to prioritize tasks according to their business value and distribute them among the team. Then stay the hell out of our way.
If you've got a significant leak in a supply pipe, there should be a valve on the branch that will allow you to shut off just that branch rather than the whole house. You might need to shut off the whole house first while you figure out where that valve is, but you probably won't have to do ad-hoc plumbing to get most of the house back on.

But yes, in general I'm always for people becoming familiar with tools and DIY.
What about twilight anesthesia? With my cardiac problem, I can't have general anesthetics, but I can have Fentanyl/Midazolam to sedate and numb up a bit. Saying "it's specific to fentanyl" doesn't help those for whom fentanyl is a life saving drug.

The reply above that the real issue is WHY Americans like fentanyl so much is on the money in my opinion.

The prompt requests "no more than 80 words". Is this realistically something that ChatGPT-like models can evaluate? Does it really serve a purpose to request a specific word count like this?
I see. Yeah that's a shame.
I only ever write it as defect / feature prefixed.

I never write the resolution as I am fallible!
Is it actually leaking the prompt, or just hallucinating an answer of the sort you'd expect for a prompt like that?
Emissions will go down, no? Also depends on the filter somewhat, I guess. But from how I understand it, the emissions aren't that high to begin with. Of course breathing in metal nano-particles from filaments with additives doesn't sound that healthy...

Can confirm.

I was the typical “well-functioning, kinda smart” ADHD-kid, who got trash grades, to many of my peers surprise.

I was too busy tinkering with electronic music production, which I guess has a similar profile to coding, in regards to instant feedback dopamine hits.

Then I got into javascript at some point.

Last year I actively chose to go back to school to study web development. Top grades now and I am super excited to go to school every day.

Highly recommendable.
While throwing out old storage boxes this weekend, I discovered my old Power Macintosh 6100, packed up in 1997. To use eBay terminology, it was in vintage condition. It had the mouse, keyboard, VGA monitor adapter, power cord, and a few floppy disks. There was no excuse not to plug it in and see what happened.

So that's what I did. The chimes played and the smiling Mac appeared on the screen. The clock battery had died, but otherwise it was working like the day I'd last shut it off. My work was all there in Nisus Writer and ClarisWorks formats, patiently waiting 13 years for me to resume. On one of the unlabeled 3.5-inch floppy disks was a series of .DSK files. Those files were images of 5.25-inch Apple ][ diskettes. I downloaded an Apple ][ emulator and was soon running the Applesoft BASIC and 6502 assembly programs I'd written when I got my first computer at age 10.

I have a recurring dream where I'm in a house where I lived long ago. It's just as if it had remained abandoned since the day I left; it's dark and filled with cobwebs, but otherwise the furniture is still there. These dreams always have the effect of compressing time. I remember old situations so vividly and freshly that my mind thinks hardly any time has passed. Exploring this old Macintosh and Apple ][ was the same experience, but without the cobwebs, because digital files don't age. My programs from decades ago ran just as well as they did back then.

The time-compression effect was as strong as the files were perfect. It transported me to the room where my family kept the Apple. I felt the pattern of the carpet and the texture of the walls. I smelled the slightly musty air. I felt the resistance of the door and the momentary change in air pressure as I opened it. I was ten years old again. Woz hadn't yet crashed his plane, Steve Jobs hadn't yet met John Sculley, and Microsoft wasn't yet the enemy because they didn't sell operating systems.

It's tempting to dive deeper. There are "Classic" Mac websites. Apple ][ fan clubs are still going strong. eBay stands ready to help me complete my retro hardware collection. But I wouldn't really be reliving old memories; I'd be replacing them with new ones. Today, if I close my eyes and think hard, I can still evoke the sensation of pure wonder I felt when, as a child, I first ran Bob Bishop's magical "APPLE VISION" program. But I'm sure I could replace that memory with a jaded "my, how far we've come" chuckle if I loaded up the dancing man in the TV set today.

I chose to keep my memories, not make new ones. I copied my old personal files to a fileserver, then wiped the Macintosh's hard drive and packaged it up to sell on eBay. The hardware is gone, and only the software remains.

It’s a very freeing experience
I'd say the opposite, nature creates all kinds of powerful attractants and poisons. There are plenty of things that will kill you at the micrograms dose. There are plenty of natural things that are horribly physically addictive.
My understanding is almost always yes if you can afford it and want to own a house. If the prices go down, you can refinance and pay less. If the prices go up, you’ve already bought the house so it’s just free money.

If you have a good emergency fund layoffs can be managed.
I live between France and the US.
France has https://www.geoportail.gouv.fr/ and IGN topographic map of every square centimeter of the country.
The US has... google map and you can also find some decent topographic map online. It's just way harder to find the paper version. ( must have in my book for hiking and such )

That article actually provide great resources to buy good topographic map of the US. It's been a struggle and a frustration for me.

That's an interesting point. How does it handle incompatible instructions?

If it only acts on some statistical properties of the instructions, incompatibility wouldn't really be an issue. If it "understands" the instructions, it'd say "I can't do that."

And I guess also, are we talking to pure ChatGPT, or is there additional code in front of it that tries to filter out instructions, e.g. for word count, and sets up an environment?
Is it more effective to reprogram via prompts than to do an additional single epoch training?
