Well, idris (v2) is very special since it has modalities for compile-time erasure and linearity. This sets it apart from all the other dependently-typed languages. This makes it possible in theory (and currently being experimented with) to implement efficient-by-construction code.

The only way I'd ever pay for chatgpt or use it for real is if all communication with it was encrypted from the start. For the kind of sensitive information going back and forth for the kind of real world projects these technologies will be used for it makes sense for ChatGPT to encrypt it all even from itself.

What happens with counseling CGPTs? If someone tells a chatbot therapist they cheated on their husband and that data leaks who pays for it?
They’re being judged by what they actually said. They could have picked a neutral statement but choosing to focus on only half of the people involved was an editorial choice which is reasonable to question.
I somewhat agree with the demotivation aspect, but you don’t need to change your process. 10x is a descriptor of productivity not time spent. You can still do what made you a 10x (e.g. read docs from scratch to get an understanding of everything). Even if you only spend 4 hours a day on it instead of 8, odds are you’ll still end of ahead of the 1x sooner or later even if you don’t have results immediately.

To me the intellectual curiosity is inherent, and I don’t think I can, should, or want to tone that down. The best way to protect your time and remain recognized is to work less hours at the same efficiency/capacity, not to reduce the efficiency/capacity. It also helps to have management that is good and has trust in you. This way you can work your 10x style but deliver at a 3x timeline (or whatever x < 10 but greater than expectation) without the pressure to deliver at 10x all the time.

Do we have proof based on their financial statements quarterly that they are actively investing their cash in risk free assets yielding 5% instead of investing in projects? I find it hard to believe that a team of $200k-$300k/yr earning employees at Google can't find a way to generate more than 5% net margin for the company?
Tweetbot was the client that made Twitter fun to use. Now I'm lost and can't stand using the service. Trying to figure out how to maintain my contacts on the platform while navigating the site has been awful. What a terrible experience it is. I'll probably try the Twitter app but I am hopeful I can keep up with everyone on a different platform someday.
I don't think so. Movetodon is still working for me.
I have been involved in organizing several unions with software developers, two in my own workplaces. My first involvement in an organizing campaign was a decade ago.

It was always a good idea. As this recession deepens, I expect many more software workers to recognize that without organization, they are vulnerable to economic instability and executive caprice.

I am currently a member of Digital Media United[1] and active in helping other tech workers organize as part of CODE-CWA. My email address is in my profile, don't hesitate to get in touch if you are ready to start organizing.

How it _should_ read if it were concise and clear?

>This work concisely describes the main sectors affected by generative AI, along with a taxonomy of recently published models.
> Is it just me or does anyone else cringe when they read "is/is not all you need" in the title of an AI-related paper?

I believe it's a reference to 'attention is all you need,' which is a very famous paper now. I'm guessing you probably already know that -- did you cringe with it? It was a landmark paper so at least it's worth hyperbole in the title. Maybe I'm missing that its usage started before that.

Reminds me of my ML prof who would complain about people using the word 'optimum' or 'optimized' in titles of papers... one could almost always optimize more, and with respect to what is not specified by the title.
This is a terrible decision just from the optics perspective - alienating those who are more likely to be power users.

But how many people do they seriously expect to install the official Twitter app instead? I, for one, will not; as the privacy page on the App Store basically makes me "steer clear".

Whatever percentage of 3rd party clients they get to switch over seems like a rather dubious trade-off to all of the bad press, and the terrible manner in which this was executed.
Yup, teaching people how to code with the goal of eventually getting a technical role.
What I'm saying is that national security is serious business, America has real enemies, and people seem to forget that and just shout "rights". I mean, if I was an enemy agent I would absolutely take advantage of due process rights afforded here to blur the line between espionage related activities and civil freedoms. It's an attack vector that's easy to exploit in freedom loving countries, one the feds and spooks pay close attention to.

If you go poking around a restricted base, taking photos, flying drones, don't be surprised when men in black start showing up in your life and making things difficult. I mean, is he purposely trying to make it look like he could be a foreign intelligence agent? I don't see how he can act surprised when they knocked down his door.

> but when you say "fuck around and find out", you are excusing them

No, it's more like I'm not excusing Arnu. His actions created this sticky situation. It was totally avoidable.

From the article:

> the hobbyist researcher says that America’s UFO mythology is little more than a smokescreen to hide the much more mundane reality of what goes on at Area 51: the testing of classified military projects and aircraft.

OK so he openly admits that the classified stuff is why he's so interested in Area 51.

> Most of these photos were not taken by me, I just published them

"Not my fault"... really?

> He adds that they were “not classified photos” and that they “were not taken from inside the boundary

Yeah he's a genius and is confident he will get off on a technicality

> One of the first things they wanted to know was: “Are there any booby traps on the property?” To Arnu, it seemed like a pretty weird thing to ask.

Sounds like this guy was purposely digging for dirt, got right up to the line, then acted surprised when the national security apparatus responded.

> Of course, Arnu had one particular hobby that he felt might be of interest to federal investigators: he had spent the last two decades tending to a popular blog about “Area 51

Hmmm... yeah maybe that's what this is all about. SMH

I don't have sympathy for the guy in the article. He's an instigator. And an idiot. Play stupid games win stupid prizes.

There are much bigger violations of due process in this country worth paying attention to.

Those other places need to be better than Twitter.

> I kinda expected people to move

Why did you have this expectation? If you are big on Twitter why move and lose your audience? To "punish" Musk? That's absurd echo chamber, wishful thinking. If you are just a regular Twitter addict with no following why leave? To be alone and feel superior on weak clone?

There's nothing wrong with Twitter run by Musk. It's just as shitty as it always was. The UI was always shit, the 37/N threads were always full of trash and should probably just be a blog anyway. But people want the comment section dopamine rush of twitter.
I'm surprised installing updates in the background instead of requiring the user to manually install each and every update for each and every app is not a bigger deal for F-Droid.

I checked Debirdify a few days ago and it still works. Technically speaking these aren't against the new policy. However, since Musk's Twitter is governed on Maoist[0] principles, who can say if the policy hasn't already changed?

[0] Specifically, the sense that the rules governing the platform are never told to you until after you break them, as to encourage overcompliance and obfuscate when or if rules change.
What about when the laptop on your lap slides slightly off and the connector is now being torqued against your leg and the couch? Factor in the use from plugging it in and out, then also the wear and tear from a laptop being a mobile computer, and those cycles will diminish a lot sooner than what was extrapolated from lab testing.

In Conversation with Eric Allman: The Evolution of Sendmail and the Internet

>> Grids have also repeatedly been shown to handle more renewables than every previous prediction would make, and we haven't hit the limit.

> Yes dispatchable generation may fail to materialize at times, but renewables “fail” to provide consistent power every single day, when the sun stops shining at night or wind stops blowing.

As I said. You're just repeating the old arguments. People thought that small percentages of renewables would destabilize the grid, then that didn't happen, so then they said a slightly larger percentages would do it, and it didn't. This tired theme has been repeated ad nauseam for the last decade or two.

I agree that you need some amount of Base Load, but renewables haven't been the problem yet, and energy storage is the solution, long term, along with Demand Response. Small amounts of grid energy storage have been shown[0] to have disproportionately high effects on improving grid stability. We might need less than you predict.

As it is, since we are still successfully adding more and more renewables to the grid, and renewables aren't being the source of blackouts, SMRs have to compete with renewables on cost, and they simply don't. SMRs also don't compete with Combined Cycle plants in terms of cost either, so which one are utilities going to choose?

Peak demand for the grid is in the late afternoon / early evening, so the amount of battery storage needed to "shift" solar production by a few hours is not as much as you would think.

Wind power produces more power at night than during the day, and it produces more in winter than summer, which is quite convenient given how solar produces more in the summer and during the day.[1] They make quite a complementary pair of power sources.

There are seasonal concerns, which is where some combined cycle plants come into play, even if they don't operate for most of the year, but that's also not SMRs. Combined Cycle is way cheaper than these nuclear SMRs. If you over-build on wind and solar, you can go a long way even in times of year with "less" wind and less sunshine, and with the low cost of wind and solar... lots of people are looking to overbuild as a partial solution that doesn't require batteries.

Why are they having the funeral less than 2 weeks after a "suspension" of the API, after 10+ years of work?

Twitter under the new management is making rash decisions but also has been reversing many.

I still have Tweetbot app on my phone in hopes that it's temporary. Has there been anything definitive to say that won't be the case?
HA, ya know what? til your comment I was like "well clearly they wouldn't just make that super easy through the kindle web app", and then after exploring what that would take, uhh. It's super freaking easy.

Thanks for the gut check.

How much waste does it produce per electric energy produced?
SMRs typically produce even more nuclear waste than big reactors.

How fast can it be regulated up and down? We need solutions to step in when neither wind is blowing nor sun is shining.
As a third-worlder I welcome these jobs. They lower unemployment, raise average salaries, haggling power, increase the country's foreign currency reserves... Our minimum wage is similar to Kenya's and $1.46/hour after tax is way above the around 80c minimum.

It could make sense from an environmental perspective to produce and consume locally but for a job like this, the only reason to use US nationals would be to create local jobs.
You don't even have to type. Text to speech is fine for this and the barrier to getting started is nil. Make a rough outline of what you want to cover and have at it.
wow, this is really cool :D
> Can't a doctor administer it, if you self-pay?

A doctor doesn't have the vaccine in their office, because it's not part of their standard schedule. Most won't order it for you (or even be able to), for the same reason.

They can send it to the pharmacy as a prescription, but the pharmacy (depending on both state law and pharmacy policy) often won't administer the vaccine to you, as it's not one of the "standard" ones that pharmacies do (e.g. flu, COVID-19).

If the pharmacy gives it to you, you can bring it to your doctor's office, but most providers won't administer any medicine that they didn't source themselves, because technically they have no way of verifying the provenance.

This isn't hypothetical - I used to work in this field, and I frequently help people navigate the logistics of obtaining this vaccine. It's really not simple, even if you're insured and willing to pay out-of-pocket and have a good relationship with a competent PCP.
Server fragmentation is still kind of a pain point for Mastodon, but perhaps a better thing in the long term as it also gives us the ability to have a feed with more focused topics.

The good thing is most people I follow on Mastodon have stopped talking/complaining about Twitter unlike the first few weeks of the migration wave. The platform can only thrive when it hatches original content.
thanks! I agree that you don't need this many offers - I took the time to interview at more places since I wanted to explore what was out there. Wouldn't recommend interviewing this heavily.
I do pay separately for things like my roadbike, camera, laptop, etc, and for these things to not have a deductible, but all in I am only paying like $15 a month for my entire renters insurance policy.
> You’re way overestimating the amount of clarity and thought in hiring plans during panic hiring like we had.

you may be right; I don't work at one of those companies or have any special insight into them
>Since much of the money for the buyout came from the Saudis and the Chinese,

ooooo, I like the dark place you're taking this. I didn't give one iota about Twitter before the Musk debacle, but I have been enjoying the shit show since it started. I can't stop paying attention into just how much of a future Business 101 case study this will become. I remember when everyone said how Reed Hasting navigated the Netflix debacle of trying to separate the DVD side of the business as a future case study. I feel like Musk saw that and said, "hold my beer! I'll show you how to ruin a company's brand!!!"
This is very well put, you said it better than I ever have myself.

One thing I'd add is that, even if I were able to give away enough of my income to make a difference in my community, everyone in the community would benefit, but I would be the only one paying for it. I find this intensely unfair and distasteful.

This is similar to how I felt during the height of the bay area mask mandates when most people were masked and one or two families were not. Those folks were reaping all the benefits of widespread vaccinations and masking, yet bearing none of the burden. I despised those people probably more than was healthy.
cue the crickets
But it is exploitation though, right? If a bunch of people in a western company say "well, we could just hire people in africa because that would significantly reduce our costs," isn't that an exploitation of cheap labor in africa?
But it's not about capturing Talent. It is about the marginal benefit of the next worker that you hire. If they cost more than they raise your bottom line, there's no reason to hire them
Impossible? Maybe. Necessary? Absolutely.
Tipping was originally a way to get your food before everyone else. It's not an economic business model.

Raise prices and be transparent with pricing - which is difficult with tipping since most people are bad at math and don't take out a calculator to see what $127 meal will really cost.

Tipping is a service tax and becoming an entitlement to a generation of workers who have never and likely will never have to really work.

No. Tipping is going away. Learn how to pay your employees properly.
I would suggest sticking it out for a year or two to get more experience, then get a job with a company working remote for similar/higher salary and moving to a city with a lower cost of living. The past couple years have really opened the job market for software development nationwide, and in most of this country (US) someone can live relatively comfortably at $120k/yr. Though the cost of food, and current interest rates make it harder.
Definitely not. Mine is 16 and it will start swapping after running KDE, jetbtains, firefox and a couple electron apps for a few hours. It is tolerable, but in a year or two it won't be. Good thing it supports up to 64.
Did you consider you were seeing (very low amounts of) visible light? Temperature had nothing to do with it.
Thanks for taking the time to share your experience. It's obvious when you hear it, but everything done in large quantities usually has labour use as a key optimising factor.

They pay so much more because US is the largest english speaking country, which is why most companies that plan to go international start there first.

I really don't understand your childish behavior. You flaunt your unwillingness to cooperate, as revenge for the offense allegedly inflicted on you by someone. This is stupid and naive. There is nothing difficult about naming your version of the Virtual Machine.

The error "Failed to open txtsetup.sif" can theoretically pop up for a million reasons\scenarios, and even fixing all of them may not help in your particular case, without providing information from you.

However, this error is extremely rare. Developers can't fix a bug that they can't reproduce. Therefore, extra efforts are needed to catch, eliminate or bypass it.

Hysterical insults on volunteer developers of a free open source project are not the best example of interaction.
How could they actually enforce that? That'd need to review every app, constantly.
