I don't mean to disparage the article (quite the contrary, it's quite the eye opener if you're not accustomed to architecting your code in this fashion) but choosing go of all languages to mockup the ideas was a terrible choice. It's syntax and type system are really quite the red-headed stepchild and for anyone unfamiliar with its syntax, its incredibly hard to make heads or tails of.

(And I say this as someone that's at least passably familiar with go and have worked on/contributed to golang projects in the past.)
It seems super messed up that they would donate your bag and all its sometimes extremely personal contents instead of disposing of it properly. What if I had a hard drive full of sensitive documents? Or my bitcoin wallet? Or a diary of my deepest thoughts? I've worked closely with Goodwill and I know it's very common for people who handle bulk donations like this to skim a bit when they find good stuff. I don't blame them, but it's irresponsible to have lost bags go to donation by default.
Shooting from the hip here, but since Intel runs their own fab(s), that seems unlikely. Maybe for secondary chips on 3rd-party motherboards? It is also completely possible that they were affected in a different second-order way (IE no one could get their hands on AMD chips so they bought intel when they might have not otherwise, but that would obviously be a net positive).

Or maybe the yields on the gen 11/12 10nm/"intel7" stuff stunk, but I don't remember hearing anything about that.

Learn a new language by creating a mind palace. It used to be a flashcard app with dictionary and English only, but now it's for more languages and has different learning approach.

I'm working on it for 4+ years, trying to build a good product people use before placing a price tag.

Blogging platform I built as New Year hacking project, it doesn't have registration and all interaction happens through the email. You can email markdown and get it converted to the website.

I built it to address my own wish for such tool but failed to find any potential customers. I plan to use it though, to host blogs for all my other projects.
yes, but we havent pulled off this engineering end run yet
It is one of the more studied drugs, agreed. We are very confident it works. Which is why the studies that show being told it works is a major driver are insanely interesting and worth checking on.
Not very familiar with the sheets API, but was wondering: how are rate limits applied? Per sheet or in total?
Just read it as "my S/O loves going down on me and AWS still beats them". Makes it less boomery/whiney to me anyway
Riboflavin is one of the vitamin B complex. I remember it because deficiencies are extremely rare, and there appears to be no practical upper limit on how much you can take, it is virtually impossible to overdose on. I mean, obviously, there is some limit, but it's sky high.

Which makes the supplementation of it a particular joke, in my opinion.

That it was discovered as a "vitamin" at all is probably more to do with it being easy to spot (very brightly colored) and easy to chemically handle and a few other accidents of history more than anything else: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riboflavin#History (I am editorializing that a bit and I freely admit that.) It certainly doesn't stick out like, say, iron, which has recognizable deficiency symptoms and plenty of people in the real world with them.
You asserted three very distinct claims as equivalent, none of which included authoritarianism.

Authoritarianism is not "might is right". The authority at the top does not extend the 'right' of might to agents in the middle of the hierarchy. They are bound by the authority's will in their behavior towards their own power-inferiors.

You’re fired, we’re doing great thanks to cutting your cost, but stay strong in your job search during this recession like those who have been persecuted for the color of their skin!
This is incredibly well said, thank you.

All of this central control assumes the central control will still be there in the future. Someday, apple will cease to exist, and when it does, there will be millions of unverified bricks that used to be computers.
> How can they help you? How can anyone help you?

They literally can, but are choosing not to. If there is concern about stolen devices, then there could be a way for victims of theft to submit such information to apple and then when someone wants to purchase a used laptop they could check whether it's stolen. They could also provide a mechanism by which a laptop could be submitted for unlocking and sits in the request queue for three months pending someone saying "that's mine!"

At the end of the day it's bullshit that functional laptops are going into the trash stream for artificial reasons. There should be a tax of 10x the highest global retail price of the device assessed against the manufacturer.
Would you like to elaborate on the security and privacy aspect? Otherwise you are dunking on folks without a substantive argument.

That's generally how I feel about anything cross-platform from Microsoft... I'll buy into it if it's still supported 3 versions in. And at this point, other than .Net Core and VS Code, I don't really use MS software if I can avoid it.
Well, many (not all) want car-only infrastructure, but they've also been unable to realize the true cost of their decisions, hence South Florida will be underwater. It costs too much money to build and maintain the infrastructure that would be required to maintain the lifestyle. So far things haven't gotten too bad but insurance companies are beginning to refuse to insure homes in Florida and so it has been left to the state to subsidize at a loss. Similarly as the state continues to build out unmaintainable car-only infrastructure and attempt to keep much of the state from "going underwater" it'll require either transfers of wealth from other states or increases in taxes. Neither of those proposals are politically viable either, so eventually the infrastructure just won't be maintained.
For the BJP politicians from Gujarat. Adityanath is beholden to industrialists in UP, Sarma is beholden to industrialists in Guwahati, etc. The moment Amit Shah and Narendra Modi leave national BJP politics, the Adani's political clout is numbered. The fact that everyone has been talking about them highlights how shitty they are at public perception management and government management. They're just Gujarati speaking Khaitans or Badals.

This is the classic whataboutism that always pops up around China.

You're right about the stuff you said.

It doesn't mean we're not allowed to discuss the CCP disappearing people or bad things happening in authoritarian countries in general.
Okay, that I'm less sure on the car insurance, but again theft of belongings from your home is absolutely something that can be covered by home owner's or renter's insurance.
Seemingly all the links have broken in the body of the article, so having the date would be useful to not expect too much.
I'll take your word for it, never tried and not interested in it at all. Though I'd suggest the lack of Linux support from VR vendors is nothing to do with Linux and everything to do with the VR vendors.

Yes, this is the essential issue. Any system competent to fully ground and check factual statements in a stream of arbitrary text will be phenomenally more complex than the original LLM, and usually will be able to answer queries directly, at which point one wonders what the LLM is adding. I think at best, if we can somehow identify all factual statements that need to be cross-referenced and then offload them to a knowledge base (dubious), we are left this kind of mad-libs connective flow that the LLM has created which approximates the essay style of a human writer. I'm not certain that has much practical value besides allowing for a form of undetectable plagiarism to be published as though it were free-form writing.
Basically write access to playlists and change access. I totally get why, I was just wondering if their scopes were limited.
I'd rather be in control of my product and deployments rather than deal with all this nonsense.
A shirt you paid $100 three years ago is not valued at $100 now. They don’t give you $100 for it but value of a comparable one from a second hand store.

This is similar to how car insurance or home content insurance works. Most people think the value of something for insurance or compensation is the price they paid, which is wrong. The value is the price currently of a comparable item for sale.

If the car you paid $50K for 8 years ago gets stolen, they don't give you $50K for it but instead the price of comparable 8 year old car.

Same thing with home insurance. If someone comes in and steals your MacBook Pro which you paid $5000 for 8 years ago, they don't give you $5000. They find out how much a similar MacBook Pro sells for on ebay, etc and give you that.
I paid a small once off amount and it's for life.
I did this for a while, but it began to eventually creep me out that the app was asking me to input all kinds of irrelevant details about people's houses, like how many stories the house had and what style/shape of roof it had.

I get that they're trying to slurp up just some of the data a company like google gets from streetview surveillance vans, but I just don't see why any of that data has a legitimate need. I continued using the app a little while longer to fill in other details, like one-way streets in my area, but those sort of queries eventually dried up within the area I usually go for walks in.
As far as I can tell the article contains only erlang snippets directly quoted from the paper reviewed.
Yea, right
> These books gave the musician enough basic information – melody, chord symbols, structure, lyrics – to "fake" his way thorough the tune, that is, to perform a credible version of tune that he might not be familiar, and for which he lacked a full score. Hence these collections became known as "fake books".

That's super interesting. I had never heard that explanation for the term. It's very much plausible, but I always thought they were called "fake books" because they were knowingly created and distributed without the legal rights to the songs. I've never really heard musicians convey the notion that the performances from fake books are "fake performances" or that you're "faking your way through it." I would have expected that jazz musicians who do have the rights to songs would still use a very similar form of lead sheet, especially given the improvisational nature of most jazz. I doubt many people would gig with full transcriptions—those tend to only be used for intense study of notable performances.

I thought the idea is just that the lead sheets themselves are counterfeit, as in "a fake Rolex."
Godot 4.0 is exciting, but I hope that no one ever speaks of Godot 5 for at least 3 years. Godot will benefit from having it's core contributors focused on the small stuff, rather than the 'we will rewrite everything for the next major release' mindset which has been prevalent for the past 3 years.

Godot 3 is good. I use it professionally every day for 2 years. AMA.
This is a terrible idea. S3 charges $0.005 per 1,000 PUT operations. So let's say you want to store 1GB (1e9 bytes) 1,000 bytes at a time, that's 1,000,000 keys.

$0.005 * (1,000,000 PUT operations / 1,000) = $5.00 to write 1GB. The on-going storage cost I believe would be free since the files themselves are empty.

Meanwhile writing a single 1GB file to S3? Costs you $0.023 per month storage, and the single write cost is $0.000005. It'll take 217 months to cost $5.00

> Nonetheless, it all starts to go downhill when she decides to use the same email where she announces layoffs to celebrate recent employee promotions, reveal good financial results for the fourth quarter of last year, and state that the company expects to end the year strong.

The MLK quote:

> ‘the ultimate measure of a [leader] is not where [they] stand in the moments of comfort and convenience, but where [they] stand in times of challenge and controversy,’

In this round of layoffs, leadership is bragging about standing in their moment of comfort and convenience, but putting challenge and tribulation to their flock regardless. I'm not sure anyone else has been quite so up-front about that juxtaposition. Bravo, Ms Tejada, for saying the quiet part loud.
Yes, but it also comes with giving Plaid all the data and history about your bank account transactions.

I am also interested in it. Which exact steps are you doing to learn this?
In the UK, 3 years is common.
The funny NDA's are the ones where they think they have a 'secret sauce'. Then you get in there and find out they are using some off the shelf API's exactly as intended. You start asking exact questions and they do not understand how you know so much about their product already.
Can't each and every one of these criticisms be also leveled at CLIs? Don't we like CLIs? I notice I am confused.

> The least it could do is intelligently give me a starting point for typing in a prompt. The tyranny of the blank textbox is real.

Seems LLMs would be way better at this sort of thing -- What can I do here, instead of "do I type help? man? apropos?"
Mux or similar to serve videos with the right codecs for the right end user devices.

And only show comments from the people the user is following/friends with. Kills all spammers in the bud in one fell swoop.
It makes sense what you ask for based on what the app does! I was just wondering if it was an issue with scoping and them not providing enough granularity.
If I'm not wrong, Go added uncooperative task scheduling that behaves similarly?
Same thing happened to me. I have the account and the password. But the password reset email is not one I ever used. Tried contacting them for verification and never heard back.

I just don't use instagram or facebook.
Not always, a vet practise can have 1-5 million in fixed capital costs. Surgery, dental, x ray, blood and so on all add up. Sharing admin and vet techs helps too.
The point is we all need to turn down the temperature and stop being hysterical. They didn't disappear, they just aren't using social media.
This is why omega-3s are effective. Your body depends on them to function optimally, and they are found in only a very few food sources, pretty much only fish. The omega-3s found in nuts and plants can convert to the most critical fatty acids, but about ten times less efficiently.
The first one is indeed much closer for me. Still doesn't have my current phone number and while the broad strokes are there the dates are wildly inaccurate. Looking at my immediate family though, I actually seem to have the worst hygiene! It's 0/5 in providing an accurate phone number for any of us.
Well, in the current stream of layoff announcements you have to be special to get that bad^Wfree press!
The quote in question had nothing to do with that. It was a generic statement about leadership:

"‘the ultimate measure of a [leader] is not where [they] stand in the moments of comfort and convenience, but where [they] stand in times of challenge and controversy,’”

and in a decade? What if apple no longer maintains this system? Will all these m-series macs be bricks if they change hands for free or are legitimately recycled?
I'm really thinking about doing summaries for comments as well.

It's a more interesting task when there are two sides. Even now, my app doesn't work well for debates. It tries to bring the points of view together. I want to work on separation.
> If you'd rather build software in English than in a programming language, then you don't really want to build software at all.

To be clear, 99.99% of the market for the results of software does not, in fact, "want to build software at all".

Normals don't want to build an app, they want "an app for that" and can't find one. Those are very different wants.

Sounds as though OpenAI is going after the more common want. If they succeed, they won't need luck.

// Effectively, an OpenAI "ProdGPT" could play PdM (product manager), with immediate build/release iterations, which help the person wanting an app iteratively clarify their thoughts (especially the "I'll know it when I see it" types. Now the user could just converse and converge from skeleton concept to "that's it!" in one ProdGPT convo, because the iteration loop is fast. The conversation to figure out what someone wants is the hard part, success would shorten that loop.
I loved Dune, and while I don't think all the original sequels were as strong, I enjoyed them all and have reread them several times over the years.

I slogged my way through the first couple of his son's work, but I read the first page of Butlerian Jihad and, for the first time in my life, threw the book against the wall and tossed it in the garbage.

Here’s the quote:

I like listening to podcasts and what tech leaders and innovators have to say. It’s great to hear meaningful discussions amongst thought leaders, innovators and people from different fields and industries coming together to talk about pertinent topics.

This seems like an interesting topic since I listened to the previous episode as well. Thought i’d share it here too.

Don't forget to tune in.
I don't have data but more and more seem to be turning voice only. Some US-based airlines come to mind, and one of the banks I deal with. It's fun when they ask for my "16 to 20 digit client number"
Someone has to pay to run the AI though. With Bitcoin it's a bit different, you mine and you get money directly. Even if you have a AI burning GPU cycles all day generating content, you still gotta turn it into cash.
Apple Books recently got a little worse but it's still the only non-eink way to read ebooks that I find tolerable enough to actually use. There is also a Mac version. Adding an epub to one will sync it to the other, and your reading progress will sync across all device (phone, tablet, computer), if you use iCloud.
I have not. I suspect the fridge would be a good upgrade, but probably not the others.

Even if efficiency had improved, the cap ex of replacing it would probably take a long time to pay off.
"Sun" is definitely not sufficient. Vitamin D synthesis requires UVB exposure [1] and that plummets to effectively zero in the higher latitudes in the winter: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5037520/#sec3-n... By "higher latitudes" I mean considered on a global scale; continental Europe is effectively all at these "higher latitudes".

I think I learned of the trick from the magazine blurb mentioned in TFA. If you didn't happen to read that specific page in that specific magazine in the few days it was on the newsstand, you would've had to find out via word of mouth/watching someone do the trick in person.

Most arcades didn't have the space to keep games around forever. Games that didn't bring in the quarters got replaced by newer, shinier, flashier games.

By the mid-80s, you'd be lucky to find one Galaga machine in most arcades.

So if an older friend mentioned the trick or you happened to read that specific issue of Joystik magazine in the library, you'd have a hard time even finding a Galaga machine to try the trick.

By the late 80s, ever more expensive arcade games lost their novelty and home entertainment (game consoles/rentable VHS movies) got good enough so overcoming the inertia of staying in the comfort of your home/sofa was too great.

The convenience stores/random stores got rid of their one or two standup arcade machines, then the smaller arcades closed down.

Whether we need more policing is a lot more complicated than just looking at crime rates. Firstly because this can only represent reported crime, and a lot of crime is not reported. And secondly because there are absolutely detrimental effects of policing, and this would lead into a conversation more about what the goals of policing should be. Do we care about slightly and temporarily reducing crime rates if we're also drastically increasing the amount of people getting displaced from their homes for bullshit reasons and placing massive burdens on their families as a result? Does incarcerating people too much lead to higher crime rates in the future when they're released? There's a ton of negative secondary effects.
You see the same kind of thing in some online multiplayer games. Players acting differently are seen as bots. Same for players who low skill or go AFK.

That said an interesting advance on real game bots would be ones which use AI to chat and respond to other players actions or messages.
