> The answer (see above) reminds me of that famous story about the amazing harpsichord-playing robot from the 19th century... The robot was the toast of Europe, giving command performances to royalty across the Continent. Until someone finally noticed the midget on a keyboard, hidden beneath the robot's dress.

Wait, how is ChatGPT like a famous robot secretly operated by a human?

Anyway, a lot of the recommendations it makes, he dismisses as being unfeasible or ineffective, but that doesn't mean ChatGPT is wrong. For one thing, it's based on a fallacious appeal to authority: I'm an expert, I disagree, so it's wrong. Or, in some cases: We tried a version of what ChatGPT suggests, and it didn't work, therefore it's bad advice. That's not necessarily the case, since there are plenty of reasons something might have failed in the past, like execution or timing.

Anyway, I know ChatGPT should not be trusted (it makes no claim to trustworthiness), I just don't like this reasoning.
He wrote the lyrics for that entire album (Vocalese) and sings on it too -- one of the solos on "Airegin", and a scat solo somewhere else (maybe the Night in Tunisia thing, been a while since I listened).

He also wrote the lyrics for their versions of "Birdland" and "Four Brothers", and maybe four of the tracks on Swing, and probably a bunch of other stuff I'm not thinking of.
Exactly. Which is why I would want all healthcare expenses VAT free, and rent should be treated the same as mortgages.
This comment highlights my problem with singular project tracking issues. Once they get so massive like this, people suddenly "can't follow along". Though not specific to GitHub but in this case the ui hampers readability and the comments are very much in-the-moment. This then leaves me to ask the questions, (a) should we stop writing such mammoth comments in issues or (b) should we leverage generative AI to summarize a weekly or monthly timeline of issue interaction. What is the point of having historical issues if it's too complex to follow along? This was a question I regularly asked at GitHub that usually resulted in blank stares.

GitHub's own answer to this is to force engineers to use a /slash command to post a summary of the week's updates. Clunky, but it works.
I've been a member since when you first announced it I think. I think I got maybe one email reply from someone wanting to help me, and to be honest I've never been that motivated to reply to help anyone.

These both might be me problems rather than issues with Kismet, but there you have it.
> Their cash registers can run the 4690 OS or Windows/Linux/whatever, but, most choose to run the 4690 Operating System due to its security features.

> I worked at IBM in their retail marketing side in the early 2000's, so, it's possible that everything I've typed here is 20+ years out of date.

4690 is pretty close to dead. Maybe not entirely dead, but closer to that status than it has ever been before. From what I understand, even before IBM sold it to Toshiba, the plan already was to discontinue 4690 and replace it with Linux. At the time of the sale, IBM was in the progress of replacing it with "IRES" (IBM Retail Environment for SUSE); Toshiba has instead chosen as the replacement its own Linux distribution, "TCx Sky", which is a customised version of Wind River Linux.

The terminal release of the 4690 OS was V6R5, released 7 years ago. The latest security update was CSD 2010, released in January 2020. There are probably still some people using it even today, but it is very much a legacy system, with zero plans for any further enhancements; it isn't even clear if there will be any further security updates in the future, or if the January 2020 update was the last one. (I guess it may depend on how many people are still using it, what further security bugs might be discovered, how much those people are willing to pay to fix them, etc).
There's a sizable problem with that. If you move the elderly away from the cities, then you'll also have to move many of the jobs (and most of the city).

Hospitals, doctor's offices, pharmacies, ambulance services, all will need to move to be closer to the elderly. That is often a sizable chunk of the employment in an area.

Labor such as yardwork, snow removal, home repairs - things that young fit people can do themselves and can't afford to hire people for, but elderly people can't do and instead hire people for - those jobs would all need to move to be closer to the elderly.

Public transit ridership often skews to the elderly who no longer drive. It's vital to their mobility. So you'd need to move public transit with them.

Retail and restaurants - working people are at work in the day, a sizable chunk of the customers are older retired people. So you'll need to move the retail and restaurants as well.

If you move all the elderly and all the businesses they use away from the city, what is left? Schools and offices, maybe a few bars, pawnshops, tattoo parlors, and payday loans places?

Mixed-use neighborhoods are definitely a better idea than trying to ship all the elderly off to some rural area where they'd be out of the way. Society benefits from people of different ages, experiences, and classes interacting regularly instead of being segregated.
The big selling point for prime used to be next or two day delivery - but that has gone out the window for me for at least a year now - I still occasionally get fast delivery, but it's no longer the guarantee it used to be so I'm with you - just wait until you have enough for the free shipping - or just order elsewhere. And the increasing amount of counterfeit crap with amazon seeming to not care has really shifted me away from them.
Thanks a lot for the detailed writup, I'm currently investigating similar stuff but didn't really know whereto look, this will help me a lot.
I know conservatives see this as a bag full of smoking guns but this isn't a surprise at all.
That... isn't indicated by the data. There would have to be a simultaneous increase in the number of men cheating on their SOs at the same time as a decrease in sex with single men, for.... no apparent reason.
>Google seemingly losing the narrative war I think we’re seeing here.

Google doesn't care about the narrative war. They care about getting sued by the EU.

They can put out a similar model whenever they want. The just don't want to, because the thing about AI research (vs., say, social media) is there's no first mover advantage. The best model wins and there's no network effect to bolster incumbents.

> the idea of typing your code is completely foreign

I don't understand this?

> I really don't understand [Go has computer-sciencey-correctness goals]

My impression (way back when, TBH when Go was first announced and discussed) was that the language creators had some Very Strong Ideas about how to do various things 'much more correctly', and/or to avoid specific pain-points they'd had in other languages, and that those things informed a lot of the decisions about Golang; in particular the module system, generics, and error handling.

I'm calling that "computer-sciencey-correctness goals", perhaps incorrectly, as I also got the impression their goals and methods were heavily informed by CS research into computer languages.
What does more harm than good mean? What harm could there be but a slower machine?
> I failed to find a face in the original article.

The second image in the original Ars Technica article shows the side view of its head/face very clearly. According to the caption: its head is still partly enclosed in the concretion it was found in — which IMO gives it the appearance of having its head resting on a rock.

After looking at that, and the third image — an artist's rendition of how it might have looked when alive — the first image should make more sense: its snout is at the front of the image, the bulges of both its eye sockets are clearly visible slightly further back, and the creature looks like it is laying down (and has been somewhat flattened) facing towards the camera, looking slightly to the right of the photographer.

HTH.
> except in the case where the RSUs expire, which makes the company look bad

The benefit of double-trigger RSUs over single-trigger RSUs is that they're not taxed until after a liquidity event (IPO, acquisition, etc). That's nice for the employee as they don't have to come up with extra cash to pay taxes on the RSUs as they vest but before they can sell them.

However, double-trigger RSUs have to expire within 7 years -- otherwise there's not a "substantial risk of forfeiture" and they'll be taxed immediately upon satisfying the time condition, just like single-trigger RSUs [1]. It makes sense -- there's no practical difference between a double-trigger RSU that never expires and an illiquid single-trigger RSU, so it would be a tax loophole to treat them differently.

Thanks! great advice, totally agree. I did want more of a musical experience.
Definitely 6' and up - and I'm shorter than that. It's pretty obvious, but I don't lose sleep about it. I also meant BMI relative to height, not height in general. Statistics don't lie in terms of what each population generally finds attractive.
I have a Substack about books and writing. Topics include rhythm, suspension of disbelief, lessons from reading over a hundred short stories, as well as the analysis of several novels.

There is an occasional short story or piece of serialized fiction as well, usually horror, fantasy, supernatural, literary, or “other.”

Am I the only one who thinks this just isn't defined well enough to be decided by the judiciary? It should be legislated. My opinion is that ML training should be distinctly different from human learning.
Compared to existing and free software chat solutions[1], Slack however looks like such a kindergarten tool. It has a terrible performance. Every time one switches a channel, it basically burns a CPU. The loading of messages when scrolling down a channel with many message is not working well, not pre-loading enough messages to make scrolling a smooth experience. Instead one has to wait half a second or so until the next 20 messages or so are loaded, then scroll, then wait again, then scroll ...

And the "markdown" text input oh my. Rarely have I seen a worse markdown input than in Slack. Maybe on Bitbucket or Confluence it is worse. It is as if they have decided to not use any existing and perfectly well working markdown parsers, but instead get an incapable team of engineers to reimplement a bug-ridden one with missing features. One cannot even insert an image at any place in the message, but only at the bottom. That means one needs to refer to the image in the message, when otherwise one could have simply had the picture in that place where it is relevant. It is such a headache for anyone more familiar with markdown. At this point just give me a plain text input, that has any normal off the mill markdown parser to properly translate my text into a message.

Oh and they still have not managed to implement voice chat according to standards properly, so that it works in all modern browsers. While other more feature full chat programs like Discord had this solved for years ago, Slack is still the same old shit. Now I have to start ungoogled-chromium every time I want to enter a "Huddle" and navigate to their website, where they will bug me with their incessant popup asking me to use their desktop app, which I have to decline every. single. time. because chromium does not remember to block such popups from websites.

So basically Slack is quite crap.

Why go public when until 9-12 months ago you could raise IPO level cash ($100-300mil) in a Series D/E/F/G and with none of the SEC scrutiny. It's better for founders to remain private as long as possible. It's better for employees for companies to go public as soon as possible. For VCs it depends on what stage they are at in capital allocation (companies funded in the earlier stage of a fund will have more leeway cuz VCs don't need to pay back their investors, but companies funded at a later stage will be pushed to exit faster cuz you gotta make the investors whole)

The Collision brothers and the Hindawis (Tanium founders) have both been very vocal about this point.
Yes, I forgot to mention but I have surgery coming up in February so hopefully I want need my Afrin dependency anymore! I wasn't sure about surgery at first, and was just super duper happy I could breath through my nose, after 40 years of not even knowing that it wasn't normal to breath only through my mouth. But after a few months of this precious nose breathing, and my mouth not drying out at night anymore which caused me to want to drink water at night, and would contribute to waking up to pee, getting shitty sleep, and putting me in chronic stress from sleep deprivation, I now am ready to take the next step and get surgery to fix the deviated septum and have my turbinates function as they were intended to again!
I've subscribed to this line of thinking my whole life, and mostly still do, but I've had to reassess after watching/listening to the case of Andres Iniesta, a professional footballer who sought professional help in the Summer of 2009. A starter for FC Barcelona and the Spanish national team, having just won the 2009 European Champions league with FC Barcelona and the 2008 European Championship with Spain. Multimillionaire and in peak physical condition, yet fell into a deep depression during the peak of his life. Definitely caused me to reassess my assumptions on clinical depression.
Stuff in America is expensive, post taxes that's not much more than you could earn "working" for 20hrs a week at a startup.

Im a French citizen and I'm inclined to agree we shouldn't be too protectionist, at all level of society: we should not protect jobs when a company is failing, we should not protect companies when a foreign one is gaining market shares, we should not nationalize something the Chinese are ready to subsidize.

We are not going to be treated in any special way by the adversaries of China, and there are ways for us to benefit from a more relaxed relationship with them, at the detriment of the US: it makes the US care more about us, it makes China think less about screwing us, it makes us infiltrate both deeper. I think, as a small country, our best bet is to look entirely harmless while selling to every sides.

End of the day nobody really wants to take us over because we're impossible to govern for a profit, so even if we fuck it up and China gains control of something we would have wanted for ourselves, we can just take it back after the fact and ask "so what, you want to invade us to deal with the people we cant even manage ourselves?". Honestly the best strategy for Taiwan too: be as insufferable and costly as possible so that even a successful take over just dump cost on the taker to convince them instead to keep a status quo where they just speak loudly waving their arms in patriotic excitement.
About the writing style, for example talking about looking a dinosaur in its "face". It is jarring and I didn't like reading it.
the cache is small but if you have a `docker buildx build --cache-from --push` type command it will always pull the image at the end and try to push it again (although it'll get layer already exists responses), for ~250mb images on gitlab I find this do-nothing job takes about 2.5 mins in total (vs a 10 min build if the entire cache were to be invalidated by a new base image version). I'd very much like it if I could say "if the entire build was cached don't bother pulling it at the end", maybe buildkit is the tool for that job
Sure, feel free to email me as well. Email is listed on the personal website linked in my profile.
Google uses Chat
Back at my last position we used slack almost like a notes application. I still like it a bit better than confluence. Documentation, sure, think. Slow down. But notes need to be immediate or they won't get captured at all. There slack excelled.
Slower and more expensive than a regular DB, yeah. But still reasonably quick and cheap for something infrequent like a car title operation, which would normally cost you a lot more in DMV fees.

> Also what happens if someone decides to do a 50% attack? All the registrations get erased?

I'm not sure exactly what a 51% stake gets to do to contracts. Probably you could show verification of a transferred title then undo that transfer, but not erase titles created before the attack or force new transfers. Anyway, if someone managed to pull that off (which is a big if), Tezos would be sufficiently broken that the DMV/Tezos would have to snapshot the blockchain before the attack and take things back to centralization. There'd be a big disruption, and whatever happened after the attack would be undone.
We use Facebook Marketplace pretty frequently to buy and sell things. We've tried using alternatives (local listings, Gumtree, eBay) but nothing is ever as quick and the options are far more limited. Generally we like to buy all of our 'material' items second hand if we can, and Marketplace really enables that. I wish Facebook had a 'Marketplace only' type profile but they don't. It might be geographic specific or maybe quitting so early means you never experienced it. I look around my house and Marketplace has had a pretty big impact on our life, and I hate it, but that's the network effect I guess.
It was actually suggested by someone at the BGP support team. We had a different employee there create the new listing while sitting in the store. It went live with 24 hours, only none of the old reviews, pictures, or reviews were there. So they are starting over on that front.

this makes me think that they felt like some other aspect of that GBP was why they deleted it. But since they won't tell us why, we have no idea. I could guess, but any guess is just that, a guess.
How many hoops are required before we can say that company X prevents you from doing Y?
Rust's type checker is very clever tough. You can omit types almost anywhere, and rust will infer it. Say you net a vector containing Foo object. You can just do

let mut v = Vec::new();
v.push(m_foo);

In fact it's so nice that you often rewrite code to keep clear what's actually happening, even though you could keep types largely implicit.

Here's another example:

let f: Vec<i32> = vec![1, 2];
let f2: HashSet<f32> = f.iter().map(|n|n.into()).collect();
I never got unemployment compensation even though I was unemployed, I fell through the cracks, and couldn't focus on it (because of long COVID) enough to get it done.

>This is the first time I've read anything positive relating to Fallout 76

It's actually improved a TON since launch. I'm not talking about a No Man's Sky situation where it's 100x better, but better.

Also two huge points: Fallout 76 is free on Game Pass, and works really well coop with friends. Those features go a LONG way.
Nothing is genetically determined. The environment happens to you after your genes do.

I have seen it around, but didn't know it was open source. If you guys are working on correlation, then I will definitely be watching this. Consistent link urls that can be shared is also useful.

Hopefully someone else will contribute the notebooks feature. Those are very useful.

Something that DD is not careful about, is being able to consistently use UTC for all time labels in all graphs (and maybe a quick way to convert to a local time if we need to communicate with stakeholders).

It was the same on the Consumer side organization I was in when I was there.
Looking at the quiz, I am skeptical. At least for me, guessing the gestures was more about seeing the apes and how they were interacting and guessing what would happen next, more so than any intrinsic understanding of the meanings of the gestures.
What about a simple basic item like Velcro? Or the printing press? Or the copier? Telegraph?

Your claim is… simply utterly untrue.
I’ve quit using Amazon Prime and canceled my subscription a few years ago. I live in rural Iowa and their promise of 2-day delivery was never reality for us here, it was more like 4-5 days. When I recently resubscribed to try it again I noticed that we don’t even get the option for it anymore, instead we can choose free shipping or an “Amazon delivery day” that clumps up our packages to be delivered on a certain day of the following week.

We don’t order from Amazon enough to warrant paying a subscription for 7+ day delivery timeframes, so instead we pay for Walmarts service. There are Walmarts everywhere, so I can just order something on their app and go pick it up, or get it delivered in two days if it’s not in the store. It’s a much better value for rural living.
OP mentions they're a doctor, but they don't say of what exactly, and only mention their background is as a trainee. Why on earth should that be enough to buy into something they say they created to fix problems in an entirely different field of medicine?

This all feels like the same old crap with a coat of government health grant money on top.
I have done this about mechanical engineering and manufacturing things that I know well. With some things, its answers are about as good as a decent overview article that you might find with google after sorting through a few spammy ones. With other things, it can make remarkably dumb mistakes, but as has been pointed out here (and elsewhere), it's possible to give it some corrections and ask it to do further reasoning.

For instance, I asked it to list common defects in injection molding. It did a pretty good job of listing and describing the things that I'm usually looking out for. On the other hand, I asked it about how much a solid tire is typically stretched when placed on a rim (e.g. for an electric scooter). It came up with a typical percentage range, and then I tried to get it to reason out how the cross-sectional dimensions would change based on that stretching. It made several really basic errors that I managed to get it to correct, but in the end, I didn't really trust its ability and or "knowledge" in this area.

I have found it to be pretty relaxing to use as a recipe source, since it will just give you a recipe and the basic instructions without the fake history and 17 ads. It's pretty good at taking some vague requests about having certain ingredients and wanting something in a particular direction, and giving a reasonable result. Maybe if I was an expert on cooking particular types of food, I would find its answers comical or pedestrian.
I don’t even use it in Windows.
