I'm in the top x% of my profession, after 20 years of grinding. I'm unafraid. I don't see my salary taking a cut anytime soon. When I was searching for a job back in March, I had a 50% offer to response rate (if the company responded to my application.)

People who are just skating by may have cause for concern. But those are the people with the most to gain from it, so maybe not even them.

Demand is so high in the business, I have trouble imagining that any tool could make a meaningful impact on that.

It would need to multiply productivity by a huge number, and nothing has that impact. Copilot is barely, optimistically, above 10%. I don't really think I get that much, but just for arguments sake.
but people won't notice, or care.

Most people, yes. A few will definitely notice and care. Faking this stuff is the fast way to get on my shit list, though I realize I'm in a minority here. I am very pro AI in general, but I am extremely anti-deception. If you send me a 'hand-written note' that really wasn't, why would I trust you about anything else?
>It is normal because most labor sellers are not able or willing to sell their labor at a higher price to a different buyer.

In order to sell at a high price, someone else must be buying...

This market maker analogy really isn't a win.
As other people have mentioned, this seems pretty limited and does look like it struggles a lot with "uncommon" situations. Doesn't look like it handles stuff like line wrapping either, although maybe that could be a separate step.

Still, incredibly fun to play with, and something I could easily imagine being useful at least for small projects if it was generalized just a little bit more and trained on more diverse datasets. Really cool project.

I really like that you can play with speed using (roughly) the same style/legibility settings; it would be interesting to be able to simulate handwriting for a single "character" and subtly convey information visually about what state of mind the person was in whenever they were writing.
There's the argument that any AI built on silicon is doomed to be analogous to the Chinese Room* because it is reducible to its parts.

It's interesting that I am also reducible to my atomic parts.

I may be a Chinese Room that has not yet experienced fully looking down at my self. I don't have enough self-recursive input yet to see through the illusion.

It's someone's gimmicky app idea that blew up into something way bigger than it was.
I've spent a five-digit sum at Galaxus/Digitec, and never returned anything. So the typical product having a 3% return rate is quite surprising.
This happened to me this year with another company. They opened up the ability to sell back RSUs, and a chunk of them got sold to pay for taxes.

At the moment my costs are about $100/mo, so it only takes a handful of subscribers to keep it going. Beyond that it was something I wanted for myself and I'm just glad if other people find it useful. I also learned a ton from making it and have been able to carry that over to my day job.
You seem to live in a bubble. There's plenty of people who don't care much for these things as, say, the German market for movies, books, etc. is big enough (if you include dubbing).
What exactly about this is the 'original Mac philosophy'?
We are having here a little conversation about a very sensitive topic to many, this counts for me as a social skill. But maybe you mean in "real life" - about which I cannot comment.
Can a lawyer get away with doing the same thing if, say, they provide all their advice as .epub files? "Why, your honor, these were merely books..."

[EDIT] That is, would they be immune from e.g. malpractice if they did this so they "weren't representing" the defendant?
Impractical as it may be, the imaginary world where people are paid a living wage to stand on the sidewalk reciting poetry sounds lovely. Imagine being able to sit on a public bench with your neighbors any given day and listen to someone's creative writing! And if this also implies that more people are paid for other artistic endeavors... sign me up :)

To me that really means "industry best practice at commercial businesses". Moving to a different language because the new one is cool is a big wast of $
I saw his tortured video of asking the crowd to go home on January 6th, on TV, and then many times elsewhere. He made multiple takes, and himself inserted the line about "loving" the insurrectionists. What are you TALKING about? What lies? Be specific.
ICE owns NYSE and several other exchanges. ICE stands for Intercontinental Exchange. ICE is the IT administrator for these exchanges. I helped sell some router management software to them a while ago. ICE is fairly new, NYSE used to be independent. That changed sometime after 2008.
Sometimes such 'redundant' instructions happen because of incomplete instruction decoding. For instance the ED-prefixed instruction block on the Z80 has:

- 8x NEG

- 8x RETI/RETN (named differently but same behaviour)

- 4x IM0, 2x IM1 and 2x IM2

- and a whopping 178 opcodes in the ED block decode to a NOP (no operation)
I've always wanted to make a simpler API called RowCol.

why `.slice` ?
I really wanted to like LiveView but starting from 0 in the Erlang world meant learning a whole bunch of language semantics and idioms.

In fact I found it perhaps harder to get started than learning Rust, especially because the language server seemed unable to offer as rich completions compared to Rust.

In the end I did manage to understand most of the primitives and concepts in the basic sample app, but it did make me re-evaluate if it is the best choice in terms of technology adoption when it departs from most typical Python/JS/C family style conventions.
Looks great! Do you have stats about which games are played by most people, longest per player, etc?
Are you talking about the same people who couldn't agree about a vaccine? How is logical consistency going with humans?

Not to mention that a mere 700 years ago we were dying of bubonic plague and with all our general intelligence could not muster up the germ theory of disease. Not even to save our lives, you see, we are not generally efficient, it depends on century.

We are dependent on experimental results carefully constructed to verify our theories, theories which start like chatGPT's random bullshit initially, random words following a probability distribution in our heads. Even deep learning is often touted as modern alchemy - why don't we just understand?

Verification does wonders to language models. Humans have more verification and interactive experiences, so we think ourselves superior. But an AI could have the same grounding with us. Like AlphaZero who became a super-human Go player without ever looking at human games - learned it from lots of verification. And CICERO the model playing Diplomacy in natural language.

Just set AI up with a verification loop to see wonders. Predicting the next word correctly is just one of the ways AI can learn.
Most of revenue for IBM comes from consulting, which needs heavy headcount. Up to 2011 IBM was like a leader in consulting making 100+ billion in revenues a year including all divisions , downfall started after that. It’s not even making half of it now. Accenture/Deloitte and others like Cognizant are eating its lunch.

They clearly stated their opposition to injecting an experimental substance on children.

After two years before the injections existed exactly 3 cases of COVID-diagnosed deaths across a population of +700 thousand children in Portugal. Now the number of children with heart problems related to the injections is visible on news at plain sight.

The experts were ignored. Those supporting the experts on social media got banned or shadowbanned. This is not science, unless you consider medieval practices to be science.
"If you didn't clear the platform code challenge, leveling didn't come into it."

How does that make sense? I was told that you got a ton of applications and that I didn't meet the cutoff for the pool. Surely you can't just keep the top X (open positions + margin) and try to place them into appropriate levels if they make it through the remaining rounds? You very likely won't have an appropriate mapping of skills to your open roles and candidates will be left dissatisfied, right?

Isn't a hiring challenge supposed to be a more objective assessment of engineering skill? If there's less "there's less surface area for us to derive signal from" then maybe it's not better than the traditional model. To be told that I didn't do well enough to be considered for a junior position sucks because I'm a mid level engineer.

I'm certain that my proxy worked well. I was able to push ~7 GB/s through it spread across 1000 connections on my local machine. It can do that with reasonable resource utilization, good latency, no race conditions, and no errors. I also wouldn't say my notes were skimpy. I could have written more but I wanted to be respectful of the reviewers time.

In fact I would rather you openly shame my submission here because at least then I would have the oppourtinity to reflect and improve. I hope this level of criticism isn't too much. I just wish that software engineering interviews could be more rational.

If it weren’t that remarkable, how come Siri, alexa, and whatever google calls it’s unused voice assistant are so useless? If it were not a substantial advance, why are chatbots so useless? The reality is, if Alexa had half the ability to “understand” as chatgpt it wouldn’t be nearly as frustrating. It’s not like Amazon, apple, and google haven’t dumped metric tons of investment into these things.

Y’all simply have lost the ability to be amazed.
We Asteroids snobs always considered this to be cheating. I could never roll the machine in the old days, but nowadays I can roll the emulator without lurking.
This kind of problem isn't just because of search, it's also because of content creators. I believe what all content creators quickly learn is, on any given topic, the funnel is extremely wide on the most introductory knowledge and then becomes uselessly narrow as you drill into specific info.

To use a specific example, the other day I was trying to learn more about programming shaders. There is an unending number of basic level tutorials: what is a shader? There are probably 500,000 people searching for that topic. But if I want to figure out a UV scrolling texture, I'm screwed, there's almost nothing. Because the audience for that is maybe 500 people.

There's just no financial (or even reputational!) incentive for anyone to write an article / make a video on something requiring deeper expertise. There is stuff out there, of course, created by the tiny minority of passionate enthusiasts or dedicated professionals. Google is really searching for a needle in a very, very large haystack. And I think Google (and other search) has been more and more challenged by that over the years as the internet moved from a niche enthusiast place to a mass market place. Particularly when all the hay is spending massive amounts of effort on trying to pretend to be a needle.

tl;dr I despise using Google (or DuckDuckGo) these days but I don't think all the blame should be assigned to the engines, they're actually facing a tough problem. (Not that you personally were saying that, but this is mainly a thread of hating on Google.)
While this may be a valid sentiment, it doesn't change the fact that you're reading bullshit. Many of the articles created by the aforementioned system are of a medical nature, for example, and the information it spits out is often patently false.

The thing is AI generated content, much like illiterate college kids masquerading as journalists, are a symptom of a media that is fueled only by money and corporate interests.
for that case we need to build a language model :D
It's because ChatGPT's knowledge doesn't come through interaction with the world. Words mean things to us because they point to world interactions. I saw a demo where ChatGPT could create a VM. It could be trained to interact directly with a VM, send commands to an interpreter. In this case, it would understand the response of the VM, although it wouldn't understand the design behind the VM, because humans did that based on interaction with the physical world.
sure but thats not at odds with using data you already have, storing it locally, to strictly improve user experience
Radio time has never worked for me in Boston on any of the devices I've owned. I'm sure I'm not alone. It's simply too far away or there's too much interference or both.
They also should be in some hot water for their marketing: https://vimeo.com/690367009?embedded=true&source=video_title...
They should have to pay interest on seized funds. Like fed rate +5%. Then it will only happen in serious cases and they will resolve it quickly.
No, it is an accurate evaluation of what ChatGPT does. The model is not trying to explain something to you, it is trying to convince itself that what it is writing looks like it could have been written by a human.

There is no logical thinking involved. Output can appear to be real communication, but it's basically just a very advanced trick, that has some serious drawbacks.
Ice has a reasonably uniform density as does sea water. This approach isn’t going to provide micron level precision, but should get to within inches.

Is anyone alleging that Baldwin loaded the gun with live ammo that he pulled off his own belt? Every account I've read has the armorer loading it. Curious to read other versions though.

I had the opposite experience. Bought a 75” tv there. It had an extremely uneven backlight (clouding). Support told me to send it in for inspection. Tv broke on the way there. They kept it for three weeks and sent it back without mentioning that the panel was broken on arrival. After that they refused to cover it because it was my fault for not packaging it correctly. We finally settled on 50:50, so I got half my money back
> Twitter was a giant public pool. For the most part everyone was chill. And then the trolls arrived and started shitting and peeing in the pool.

Have you ever looked at the replies to a Trump tweet, an Ilhan Omar tweet, a J.K. Rowling tweet, or a Briahna Joy Gray tweet? The degree of bullying, invective, and threats coming from people who support deplatforming is intense.
Unless you're part of the community the church rejected!
Oh fair enough.

But I think there's a difference between "intent of change" and "abuse of change" / "threat surface of the change". Sometimes there's a clear, direct line between the two, but (and this is me being charitable:) I think a lot of the time there isn't. Which is to say, I don't think it's necessarily a contradiction that a) The law was changed to make things better/easier for people while b) In actual real world it can or will be abused a lot to make arbitrary trouble - the latter will depend a lot on place/politics/corruption/culture/societal norms/power balance/etc.
Plane ticket. Amsterdam. Look for red lights.
The flawed assumption here is that every match a guy gets is a wonderful, invested woman, while the vast majority of the matches women get are evil depraved men.

In practice, the proportion of good matches are similar for men and women. The issue is that men get many fewer of them in total, which means many fewer good, invested matches.
Plain js on the frontend. Complex logic handled in rust-wasm. Backed handled in Rust using the Actix Web http server, using websockets, proxied through a very basic nginx instance with TLS.

My own servers for the entire cloud, maybe with CloudFlare as a CDN.

Avoid anything else as much as possible. If you need AI/ML, you're going to have to pull in some difficult extra stuff, so make sure the value is there.

Owing both to the unreasonableness of the modern javascript stack (node/eslint/jest/react/typescript/webpack) and also to the considerable improvement of vanilla js over the past 10 years, I really don't feel like all the extra frameworks are worth the overhead and dependency risk on the frontend. Vanilla js is really good these days! And when you need a boost, rust wasm is also really good.

I've found that it's a lot faster - and also a lot safer! - to build in vanilla js than I ever would have expected. Typescript still adds value, but imo not nearly enough value to earn a place in the stack.
it's an acquired taste, but cf https://nsl.com
Same here in Czechia for the major shops.
Honestly I continue to be amazed with each year of developments. The increased robustness of the greater Elixir ecosystem is unreal. The best part to me too is despite how active it all is, progress overall is very measured and sane. It also doesn't develop at such a pace that it feels exhausting to keep track of, despite all the great work.
Kubernetes – how to make first steps
A.I. Versus Copyright
These days I prefer Next.js + MongoDB for full stack apps. Pushing changes to a repo and have it deploy automatically feels like a super power.

I have a moderately complex project, which is built using Next.js but it uses Yarn workspaces (for code sharing) and Docker (for deployment) but I waste a lot of time putting out fires w.r.t this setup than actually building features. I am thinking about doing away with Docker and Yarn 2 to keep the setup simple.

Everyone else is playing catch up now.
In large scale social networks, you're interacting with a lot of different people, relatively superficially. In contrast, if you have a relatively small group that spends a lot of time together, close relationships will form. An example is the Discord server I'm on (started off as an invite-only Among Us group, ended up just a general group of decently vetted friends who play games together), in which several relationships have formed (with the downside of there being an inconvenient amount of distance between parties, but plane tickets aren't that expensive).

Most of this revolves around the "safe harbor" provisions of the DMCA. That is, doing a takedown without authenticating the ownership of the copyright provides immunity against being sued for contributory infringement. But to actually win such a lawsuit, the purported copyright owner would have to show proof of registration.

This suggests an online process which looks like this:

* US Service provider offers web page for DMCA notices.

* Web page requests that the user enter copyright registration info.

* If user fails to provide registration info, web page offers links to various national copyright registration sites to register a copyright. A payment receipt for copyright registration is acceptable as temporary proof of registration, but must be followed up within some period of time by actual proof of registration.

* Temporary proof of registration is enough for a takedown, but the material will go back up if full proof is not submitted later.

This would put a big dent in nuisance DMCA claims. The service provider might get sued occasionally, but for big providers, it's probably worth litigating this once or twice.
The companies that have valuable IP file copyright registrations. Disney will be able to show a copyright registration on all their movies.
No, if in a hypothetical future we have technology that is capable of reliably performing the role, I don't have a problem with it. This tech is explicitly founded on LLMs, which have major inherent weaknesses that make them unsuitable.

It's a cool idea but I wish there was an app that could help do dynamic breathing exercises based on current breathing patterns and help improve my breathing and lung capacity over time. If the hook is just fancy visuals, I'm afraid that's not enough for me to stick with it long term.
Too bad this was flagged, since the OP 1) not only described himself as "a regular reader" of reddit (embarrassing enough), but of a particular reddit where people post made up stories (that he takes at face value), and 2) that he has the physiognomy (google him) of a male feminist undone by sexual assault allegations.

That's wildly off market, like 30%+. That's high, even for a retail platform.
Give yourself some credit here. Walking 3 miles is an accomplishment especially if you do it regularly. We evolved to walk, not to sit around all day. Simulate being the hunter gatherer ('modern' ones e.g. in Africa walk 3-8 miles a day), its good for your health to use your body for what its supposed to do. It's like driving the car every now and then so you don't get flat spots on the tires.
AI might one day take over the legal profession, but it won't be language-learning models that do it.

An AI that can replace lawyers would have to be able to make knowledge-based inferences, based on actually conceptually understanding what it is reading, and saying. They have to be able to identify the specific facts and circumstances that govern the matter at hand, not the general conditions that would normally apply, since cases are won on the specifics.

We're at least 2 decades away from that kind of AI, because AI research today is currently stuck in a local maxima of statistics-based brute force machine learning that doesn't actually lead to models that have any sort of intelligence about what they learn.
Why must you render a B2C app server side?
