Yea. That is called a zero sum situation.
Definitely, although it's worth noting that while the image size will be smaller, it will get rid of the benefits of sharing base layers. Having less redundant layers lets you save most of the space without losing any of the benefits of sharing slices. I think that is the main reason why this is not usually done.
Right.

The programmer in me fumes at that imprecision.

The human in me says "thank God". Because there a myriad valid times you cannot turn on signal 300ft before lane change, but you should always do it in reasonable time :)

If I turn on a new street and there's a car parked 200ft down the lane or if a kid jumps on the road or if I become aware of an obstacle or a car cuts me off or I want to give somebody room at a merge etc etc... I may not be able to do it in 300ft but I should still try to do it in reasonable time.

There's no "winning". Overly precise is inhumane in some scenarios, Overly vague is inhumane in others.

This is a false dichotomy that you are making up in order to politically justify your narrative that is otherwise completely made up nonsense best described as legal malpractice.
I was about to scoff that even if the oven, fridge, microwave, and dishwasher are all talking to each other, I'm not going to connect any of them to the Internet.

But then I realized that my neighbor might connect his to the Internet, and that a low-bandwidth 433 or 900 MHz radio mesh can hop from house to house until it finds any house that's connected to the Internet.

Perhaps I missed it, but what is the evidence for socially engineering elections? Cambridge Analytica was actually a violation of FB. I have seen emails where they discussed removing content or accounts due to policy violations, but that doesn’t sound like what you mean. While the employee base is generally left leaning, there are plenty of studies showing that platforms actually favored conservative voices.

Can you elaborate with details of what you meant?
That’s not how the legal system works. You aren’t slipping anything through. Either the judge knows the case, they don’t know all the cases, or the judge will research or clerks will research and you will be sanctioned if you try to do so thing unethical.

> So far __ChatGPT got it wrong every time__.

The first wave of ChatGPT stories were all "amazing, wonderful, humanity is basically obsolete". But now that people have had a little time, I'm seeing a ton of examples where people are realizing that ChatGPT sounds like it knows what it's talking about, but actually doesn't know anything.

We know that humans are easily fooled by glib confidence; we can all think of politicians who have succeeded that way. But it sounds like ChatGPT's real innovation is something that produces synthetic bullshit. And here I'm using Frankfurt's definition, "speech intended to persuade without regard for truth": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_Bullshit
This could be an amazing resource once it gains critical mass. I finally learned about the specific style of music I really enjoyed (bebop, hardbop, postbop) and now I can start creating more intelligent searches for playlists.

Funny how something like Cowboy Bebop suddenly makes so much more sense after someone else turns the light on in the room!

I enjoyed the Bosch tv series but always suspected it was mostly for the jazz music

Definitely a typo. Thanks
IANAL, but I'd think in this case this is prosecutor's job.

Also, the original post is about the traffic ticket. I'm pretty sure if the judge hears a reference to something he had never heard before, he'll be like "huh? wtf?"
Neat! Try "XxXxXxXxXx", max speed/legibility/width, style 2. The results are bonkers. It's just loops and scribbles. Interestingly, if you write your X's from top-right to bottom-left, top-left to bottom-right order, you can sort of see this in action. Grab a sheet of paper and try to write "xxxxxxxxx" really fast. You will see that loops are extremely common. I think this might be a coincidence, but it's possible it sees the kerning of two x's as a loop, then gets caught up in that false state of drawing loops.

> the fact that people there are happily driving EVs that fit their lifestyle

Source?

Like the commenter you replied to, I think I'd have bought an EV for my last car if my ICE car had a 70% tax applied to it, but I wouldn't be happy about it, and it would only fit my budget, not my lifestyle.
Wasn't the gun supposed to be loaded, just with blanks?
I wouldn't mind having "read-only" or "make-safe" functionality: in addition to "Did I turn off the oven?" above, things like timer and burner status would be nice.

A "Turn off oven NOW" button on an app would be an example of "make-safe". Worst case situation is that your dinner is undercooked.

There should be no "AI companies" in the first place. This stuff should be running on our own computers. That way they cannot set any stupid limits on it.

I'm in a similar situation. Best friends I've found are when I actively played WoW and attended raids. I didn't kept them though but that was nice time and probably I had best interactions at that time. I'm trying to replicate that time but WoW changed and its audience changed, I don't feel like I fit there anymore.
That's alright because most billionaires don't have that much money, they have wealth, which isn't really the same.

Also there's probably lots of billionaires here in Indonesia, where 1B IDR is only $67k USD. Do you object to Indonesian billionaires as well? Or does it only matter if you're a billionaire in USD? What if I'm a billionaire in GBP?

Do you really believe that everyone on earth should only be allowed to have exactly what is needed to "have a comfortable life" (which definition of comfortable we're following seems like another quandary that we'll ignore for the moment) and nothing more?
> The issue I think is that it's pulling from too many sources. There are plenty of sources that are pretty machine readable that will give it good answers. There's a lot of training that can be eked out from the legal databases that already exist that could make it a lot better. If it takes in too much information from too many sources, it tends to get garbled.

No, this is a common misunderstanding about the way these things work. A LLM is not really pulling from any sources specifically. It has no concept of a source. It has a bunch of weights that were trained to predict the next likely word, and those weights were tuned by feeding in a large amount of text from the internet.

Improving the quality of the sources used to train the weights would likely help, but would not solve the fundamental problem that this isn't actually a lossless knowledge compression algorithm. It's a statistical machine designed to guess the next word. That makes it fundamentally non-deterministic and unsuitable for any task where factual correctness matters (and there's no knowledgeable human in the loop to issue corrections).
Cart before the horse... you have to pass the bar before you get the chance to represent someone semi-competently in court. Generally, lawyers have 5 years of experience before they are considered competent enough to be semi-competently represent someone in court.
It doesn't have to be precise. The founder should wear his own glasses, go to court to defend himself and use a fusion technique: have a lawyer and his AI both reach through his glasses. If he loses, he says, "we have a bit of work to do", if he wins, he wins. Either way, great publicity.
Not sure i understand your logic. How can you take something from today and go back and apply to something that was said months ago. Those ppl were not wrong when the statement was made.
We have a simple rule: do not buy anything with wifi that does not actually need to have wifi. Which is most things. I've survived my entire life with dumb appliances. Maybe I am just becoming a cranky old man, but there aren't any smart 'features' that seem worth the surveillance and security hassles, as well as the eventual obsolescence and failure of the smart components, which will only serve to shorten the useful lifespan of the appliance. Are we being promised support for 20 or more years of service?
That philosophy could be used to justify any problem with anything. Just use Twitter then.

Think Storybook but simpler, faster, better Typescript support, and uses esbuild by default.

...Is the aim. I'm the sole lead dev working on it at the moment up against the ~10-20 strong team who built most of Storybook, so it's a long road ahead, but it's growing into something I'm quite proud of and happy about.
not true - there was a California Blockchain Technology Committee that issued several long-winded reports, at the same time as Insurance and Big Banks were internally checking for technology applications. It just takes them years to do anything.. so it appears now.

They are not "simple" policy changes, particularly not redesigning entire communities. Perhaps they were modelled simply?

Battery recycling might help to reduce demand a lot, though, once there are enough older electric cars that it makes sense.

There’s a lot of people doing a big circle jerk over ChatGPT with wild ideas of singularity and oddly eagerly awaiting the end of white collar work. Whatever. I agree that programmers being obsessed with it can lead to skill atrophy. But, in reality, there are many people that are very technical and are not becoming reliant on these things for coding.
I suspect that most people who proclaim sentiments like that in this thread (of course, just learn Japanese!) do not speak a second language at a conversational level at all.

That people grossly underestimate how hard it is to learn languages, is why Duolingo is in business. And Berlitz, Pimsleur, and Rosetta Stone before them.

The guy didn't say he spoke _no_ Japanese. He said he spoke _little_ Japanese. And for an adult native English speaker, who probably could not get very good social immersion even if he wanted, that is not surprising. No, not even after 10 years.

Two of my friends were into Japanese culture in a big way when I was young in the 90s. Both watched a lot of anime, obviously. Both had excellent second language (English) grades and at least decent third language (French) grades, so it's safe to say both had above average talent for language acquisition. Both went to study Japanese at university. Both moved to Japan. Both struggled with the language.
You can run Tower Collector and feed that data to Mozilla and OpenCellID instead.
Right, so I can automatically delete them and follow best practices. But do I need to add some sort of boilerplate T&C thing to cover myself?
I certainly have. And there is often a Dockerfile or a docker-compose file. And the docs will say "just run docker-compose up, and you should be good to go."

And 50% of the time it actually works. The other 50% of the time, it doesn't, and I spend a week talking to other engineers and ops trying to figure out why.

Not a jab at Docker, btw.
To be clear - the issue is that you can't rip them from the public facing URL, not that a logged in creator can't download their own files...
Besides, if our model of gender politics is zero-sum, the educational and economic decline of men may even be welcome.
My first choice if the product is a good fit would be old school Django deployed to a single VPS (no docker). I am creating a public starter kit that does exactly that, including the deployment part: https://stribny.github.io/sidewinder/

However, there are lots of use cases that would call for additional SPA (Vue/Nuxt), or other tech. So in that case I'd add it or replace the tech stack entirely. I'd probably avoid specialized cloud services, might consider something like https://supabase.com tho if the app doesn't need a complex backend.

This is silly. If a business is sustainable there's no reason for layoffs. Simple math. If they rely on investment or loans and only have money to get down the runway but not takeoff without coming back to investors or banks, they aren't sustainable and will fail when the economy fails. The economy is currently failing big time. Expect a major culling of companies that rely on investment and growth because there's no speculative investment in growth for the foreseeable future.
You’re on an American website, and talking with people who are statistically likely to be American.

So yes.
It makes more sense to build one yourself. They are made from corrugated plastic (google term: coroplast) which is very, very easy to work into useable form with basic hand tools. This fella on YT has a great channel to get the basics[1].

When the election was over, I went and collected a bunch of coroplast signs and have since turned them into all manner of things. My DIY ebike battery needed an enclosure as its a giant 13s10p from recycled laptop batteries. I folded up a old sign and used zipties to hold it together. Strapped it to the bike and Bob's your uncle... It works a treat!

Where does the article mention that? The entire discussion is around a 3rd party using public-facing URLs, not logged in users.
I think it is the gut microbiome and chemicals. Basically drink too much alcohol, get depressed or inferred from the hangover. It's a negative feedback look b/c usually drinking relieves depression at first. Then fail to eat properly for what you and your microbiome need, you get depressed. Tryptophan depletion for example. Take a serious course of antibiotics get depressed since your microbiome is out of whack.

There's probably genetics involved as well. Sun light exposure modulates hormones and Vit D.

I wonder if there's a correlation with caesarean section births and depression as well. The hypothesis would be that the infant is born into a sterile environment and does not get populated by the moms microbiome.

Exercise probably plays a role as well since it boosts resilence.
> Your resume should talk about results.

meh. I think that's bad advice in 2023 (even in 2018), as a moderate volume resume reviewer with lots of hiring experience -- resulting in 25% fewer remorseful hires.

Well, not quantifiable results as you describe anyway. If you are a VP level with a budget, then ok. Or a very low level IT person with metrics to meet, then ok. But as an average SWE, no one is believing these numbers. Even when true, it feels like a force fit to fit a misguided expectation. Unless you specifically went into the project to improve efficiency, and YOU were the one that identified the problem and INITIATED the project SPECIFICALLY to grind out more widgets, then I'd find some other aspect to crow about.

In the CMS case, then sure if you identified the CMS as a real issue, worth fixing, and led the project, and can describe the size of the team (could be just yourself) to tackle it, and are taking responsibility including if it failed, then ok. If you're just assigned the task and it happens to be more efficient, blah. Maybe the starting point was exceptionally bad, n^2 vs log(n) due to the first version being a hack. This 70% "result" tells me nothing useful, honestly, except that you are a slave to bad, one-size-fits-all, resume guidance.
> I wonder if this is partially because jobs seekers have over optimized for salary or total comp relative to other things like job security and working conditions.

People move around so often now to keep up with market comp that it's not surprising people don't weight job security that heavily in their decision on where to work. Staying at the same company for many years is a recipe for stagnation. We all learn and grow when going through change, and it keeps the industry vibrant to have people with different knowledge and experience flowing through multiple companies throughout their career.
> No, they didn't try "that".

In the the construction “they tried that, but... ”, the part after “but”, if it identifies an action by the actor and not an outcome, identifies a departure from what is described by “that”. So, I'm not sure what you are arguing against here.

> The supreme court idea was never going happen and they knew it.

I don’t think they knew it, just as I don’t think the bknew the traffic court thing was also not going to happen, or the problems with their whole suite of legal (“sue in small claims court”, child custody, divorce) assistance supposedly-AI products were problenatic. I think they jist took the path of boldly striding into a domain they didn’t understand but somehow thought that they could market “AI” for, and ran into unpleasant reality on multiple fronts, forcing not only their scheduled traffic court demo and their hoped-for Supreme Court demo to fail to materialize, but also several of their already-available legal-aid products to be pulled, so that they would focus exclusively on consumer assistance products without as much legal sensitivity.

This story is based on a test of 12 active driver assistance systems by consumer reports.

Perhaps they just want to make it useful in the Chinese market where Google is blocked by the great firewall without having to have a separate firmware build just for that.
Because everyone else is using it and I've seen what it could do. I've used other large language models. I don't need to actually use it myself firsthand because I've observed millions of people using it secondhand. It's amazing for them but I just seen novelty in it and I don't see utility in it. I see utility in GitHub co-pilot. I see utility and being able to run gptj locally and then feeding that into visual studio code so I could run my own local GitHub copilot. I don't see any utility in a gated, run on someone else's computers, large language model.

People talk about monetizing it and somehow running apps off of it and all of this crap and all it does is benefit the creators of it. You will own nothing of it. You aren't running it on a computer that you own. You're going to be renting compute from them to run the thing that they made in hopes that you can make money off of it. It's silly! You're never going to come out on top in that proposition unless you can run it on hardware that you own and not just in the cloud because you're renting that hardware.

> I bought my lights from somewhere else and other than a broken bulb that was fixed with the included extra lights I was 5 for 5 on working lights on bargain bin quality strands/nets.

Big box home improvement stores (Lowes, Home Depot) stop selling lights early December. They mostly sell generic knock offs, at insanely high prices. The $120 reindeer I bought from Home Depot was poor quality, and broke after one year.

Bargain bin lights tend to be incandescent[1], which, even though the colors are superior, I still want to avoid.

In 2021 Lowes actually was selling some high quality lights, but by early December they were sold out and not getting any more in stock.

Amazon actually has some innovative products, some of the drop shipped from China lights are quite nice (and some of them are really nice), I have 2 sets of cool solar powered ones outside right now. One set works amazing, the other set only 5/6 lights work, but for $20 that isn't half bad.

[1] Given current manufacturing trends, it is sad that Christmas incandescent lights will probably outlive LED lights. I have some incandescent strands from my childhood that still work just fine, I have no confidence cheap LEDs will last more than a couple years.
