If statcounter is in the list of blocked trackers, and trackers are blocked by default, then assuming there is a huge list of untracked users is only fair. Because it would be everyone not specifically disabling the tracking protection, which no one does. Statcounter would only count outdated FF installations that also do not use an adblocker (3% seems high for that, but not absurdly high).

But I'm not certain that this is the case. https://disconnect.me/trackerprotection claims to link to lists that show which trackers are only identified and which are identified and blocked, but those links just go to https://github.com/disconnectme/disconnect-tracking-protecti..., where I do not see such a distinction being made.

Accusing someone of really being a secret committe that puts out work under the name of one person, as the way to explain their high quality and quantity is more of of a compliment than an attack.
Do those things matter once the code is actually written though? They're important during the dev process, particularly if you're deciding between two different-but-valid approaches, which is why teams should be communicating and discussing things, but once the decision has been made it ceases to be anything worth worrying about. It's a sunk cost. It shouldn't need to be a part of a code review unless the comms are failing ahead of the review process. If that's the case then you should try to fix the comms issue.
iDeal is (maybe) nice for people targeting the Dutch market. But what about somebody targeting larger parts of the European market or global. Or even if just attracting tourists who want to order a Pizza for delivery. Do they have to implement all the different national systems? - PayPal "solves" that.

I feel like this is because Japanese are more culturally inclined to be "nice" and cordial.

I agree it's possible to have a good custom experience without tipping but I do not agree that they don't promote better customer experience. Bonuses, tipping etc. are pretty powerful way of enticing people to be better at their jobs.

recently did a project where some items were "future dates" - scheduled appointments for days/weeks/months in future, and were for entities in different time zones, and people making the appointments were occasionally in different time zones. The latter part was rare, but needed to accomodate that.

Storing the appointment date/time as ... a date/time without timezone (timestamp without tz in postgres IIRC), then storing the timezone as a separate string - that gave enough flexibility to accomodate any situation that came up.

"Wall time" - the date/time and tz separated - for future dates worked. Someone else wanted to store the date/time as 'utc timestamp' after the date had passed. "Wall time for future, UTC for past" was the motto, but... there wasn't a clear way of looking at the data to know which one you should be using immediately. I argued for consistency in the original data - if you want another view of it... make a db view that has the 'utc timestamp' conversion in it.

> I've already run into scenarios where ChatGPT generated code that looked perfectly plausible, except for that the actual API used didn't really exist.

So the next question has to be: Was this still the right answer?

I've personally had plenty of instances in my programming career where the code I was working on really needed functions which were best shopped out to a common API.
To avoid interrupting my flow and to better inform the API I'd be designing for this, I just continued to write as if the API did exist. Then I went on to implement the functions that were needed.

Perhaps the bot was right to presume that there should be an API for this. You might even be able to then prompt ChatGPT to create each of the functions in that API.
> In this work they show that if you lift this assumption, so the nonlocality is now being detected by both measurements on A as well as the measurement on B, you can detect the nonlocality and contextuality simultaneously

Which makes me think that Bell was right that Bohmian mechanics places the real problem with QM, non-locality, front and centre where it can't be ignored.

Of course. As a customer I use paypal routinely.

I like that I have it set up to pull directly from my bank account (instead of going on a credit card bill to pay, possibly with interest), and that I just have to log in to paypal to make a purchase, and not enter any other numbers, or share my credit card number on an additional form/system that might get hacked.

If a vendor offers paypal as a payment method, I almost always choose it.

I have no particular loyalty to paypal, if another similar option were available I'd be happy to use it, paypal has just gotten such market penetration as non-visa/mastercard payment method. Nobody offers a "pay with venmo" checkout option.

Next HN post - "I destroyed my repo - but it WORKED in Git-Sim!"
Good on you for moving to NOLA! It was my dream. Actually I still would love to live there. I think it's the only really European city in America. Scary, a little. (I live in Portland. it's hip, it's gentrified, it's terrible). So you know the service industry solidarity.

I quit my waiting job in New York around 2004-5, took a train to New Orleans, started playing piano with a band, got a job as a busboy at Brennan's for a solid 2 weeks before losing all my money on poker and drinking myself almost to death... I found myself on Canal Street one morning at 5am, broke, and called my sister from a payphone to buy me a bus ticket to LA. Six months later the house I'd been staying in was destroyed by Katrina...

Is it time to try again? I've always loved that city. I don't think I have the self-control.

Likely not what the op meant, but food trucks and artist markets (square's bread and butter)

A food truck operator is providing no additional service than a McDonald's ignoring the choice of where to drive or park. They provide takeout with no delivery.

And then this started at food halls.

Similarly, for farmers markets, artists, and crafts; these are traditionally retail items, these items often retail on their website or at a gallery (there is an edge case of auction houses), but now there is at least a vendor option of having a tip screen.
I'm 80% sure the article is just an interesting POC. That said, one of the more interesting things that has come with the "Shakespear Model" is the idea of context state. Basically remembering the conversation.

Something could be muddled together to correlate to a specific 'session-id'.

Security nightmare overall I guess but fun to play with.
I personally prefer the non-RX alternative Berberine as it has less risk of lactic acidosis in the liver. I use 1.5G/day and it helped in conjunction with a hybrid of healthy-keto + paleo and intermittent fasting to reduce insulin resistance for me. But that is just my preference and I take about 50 other supplements and that would confound any studies.
I hate to be that guy, but to me these two don't connect.

Yes we as a society corrected our mistake, but the transition from "Everyone smoking" to "Barely anyone smoking" consisted of most smokers dying and the rest not repeating their mistakes.

Me or my brothers most probably will never be smokers. I have absolutely no doubt my parents, uncle and aunt will smoke their way to the grave, same as my grandparents did.
> The blame trail should never terminate in the person who was told to do something or get fired - the blame trail should clearly indicate who ordered them to do that.

This blame trail (or trail of any kind like immutable logs for cert transparency, say) will most certainly be gamed (given a long enough time horizon) to ensure foot-soldiers are the ones in the line of fire. I don't think audits magically detract powerful entities from wielding their new-found power.
It’s as if ChatGPT was behaving like a language model with no real connection or understanding of R… hmmmmm…
Rinse and repeat for every major tech segment you fail to compete in.
Yes I could do that. I could indeed invoke something that requires god-knows how many tensor cores, vram, not to mention the power requirements of all that hardware, in order to power a simple CRUD App.

All I was doing was asking it to tell me who the queen of England was in 2020, which it refuses to do, for some reason. I was doing that just to test my jailbreak idea, and after about 3 attempts and 1 success I was kicked.

Latest wargame IIRC says USA loses 2 carriers in the defense of Taiwan. If the USA decides to defend Taiwan, it means that risking carriers becomes an acceptable risk.

Remember that Taiwan controls over 60% of the world's chip production, including every single iPhone, iPad, Nintendo Switch, PS5, XBox, AMD, and NVidia chip ever made (as well as a couple of Intel Xe GPUs)... and most of those car chips also come from Taiwan. It has been identified as a critical infrastructure for even US Weapons, which rely upon some of these chips.

If Taiwan is lost, that means for a few years (or more), USA can't get new military equipment... at least not with any of the fancy high tech computer parts. US Factories of all kinds, consumer electronics, car manufacturing (especially electronic critical safety equipment: antilock brakes, airbags, tire pressure monitors), most servers (AMD EPYC and NVidia A100s are Taiwan made) and even weapon manufacturing shuts down.

The supply chain risk is astronomical. Two carriers would be cheap compared to the loss of Taiwan.
One advantage of speaking X directly for small projects is that one can allocate fixed ids.

For money transfers, here in Canada we have e-Transfers from every major bank.

For a small fee, businesses can verify their identity and it makes sending them money as simple as transferring money between your Checking and Savings accounts. For everyone else, your money is sent as an email requiring password verification.

It's quite popular. Most contractors I've worked with prefer it. However, it has been prone to theft arising from intercepted emails using weak passwords for money transfers.
This is why I give that engineer at Google a lot of slack for his concerns that Lambda was conscious.

There’s a bit of an imperative, in my opinion, to over-index on that concern, because we could be building and torturing things for decades because people are afraid of losing their jobs.
That’s a very generous interpretation. It’s not designed to give “playful” responses and instead what you’re seeing is a system so eager to answer the question that it doesn’t care how wrong it is.

A human answer would say camels have very little to do with data security. A Google search would show you a link to Apache Camel. ChatGPT tells you how amazing a camel’s humps are for data storage.

You bring up a great point that how you ask the question changes how the system responds. An intelligent being such as yourself would see the two as asking the same thing.
It's not some magic bullet. It helps a ton with trying to give names to obfuscated function and variable names, but you have to be intelligent enough to know what the code's actually doing. It probably helps RE teams a lot, but until it can easily run across an entire codebase it's just another tool in the toolbox.

How is it trying to be macOS? Because they centered the start bar?
Absolutely this. It's a solution looking for a problem.

If the developer task is really so trivial why not just have a human write actual code?

And even if it is actual code instead of a Rube Goldberg-esque restricted query service, I still don't think there's ever any time saved using AI for anything. Unless you also plan on assigning the code review to the AI, a human must be involved. To say that the reviews would be tedious is an understatement. Even the most junior developer is far more likely to comprehend their bug and fix it correctly. The AI is just going to keep hallucinating non-existent APIs, haphazardly breaking linter rules, and writing in plagiarized anti-patterns.
If so, doesn't that say something about the low quality of the current crop of CEOs?

A smarter CEO might not go on a hiring spree just because everyone else does; or conversely might hire when others are firing as they know they'll get some good quality developers at a lower price.
A big contributor to this is humans bending over backwards to fit a creative and dynamic process to rigid tools like JIRA.
So like a Mechanical "Mechanical Turk"
AI is about to literally rewrite everything...
All works great until you ask it to implement 'undo'.
Nice strategy. I used to be in a large DevOps team and similar startegy was the eventually adopted.
Sure, I don't mean to imply those are the only economic forces in play. I don't think it's likely to entirely make up the shortfall, but I could be wrong.

Just doing some napkin math, ~60% of the US is employed. They need to produce ~1.3x what they consume in order for everyone to have enough. Currently, about 50% of Japan works. They need to produce ~2x what they consume for everyone to have enough. If that number drops to 40%, they need to produce 2.5x what they consume. If it hits 30%, they need to produce 3.3x what they consume.

A 10% drop in the employment rate would require a ~25% productivity increase. Even if that happens, their relative quality of life still falls because their productivity gains are cannibalized to maintain their quality of life while other nations use theirs to improve quality of life.

Japan would need a substantial increase in productivity exclusive to them to maintain parity with the rest of the world in the medium-term. It's not impossible, but it does seem unlikely in the modern global economy. Especially given that a lot of productivity gains come from economies of scale, which they're losing with a shrinking population.

I’ve been a software developer for years and nobody has ever paid me to do anything other than work. Nobody has ever paid me to leave a bad review about their company either so I’ve never done that. I draw a stark line between where my business ends and their business begins. I call this being a professional.
I'd prefer to pay someone else to handle email, in the final analysis, I just don't need that headache in my life right now. It's why I'm not making any plans for a big dramatic change on that front yet, but I might dip my toe into piping it through someone else's servers, if I see something that makes sense from all angles.

I run Nextcloud "locally" too. It's "local" in the sense that it sits on an laptop-turned-server by my desk [0]. Add a domain name, a simple dynamic DNS [1] and a forwarding rule on your router ; your local machine is now reachable from everywhere.

No (useless for that usecase) additional intermediary like Tailscale in the middle. It has the added benefit of allowing you to share everything that is on Nextcloud with people without requiring them to use any VPN/etc.

[0] the fact that it runs an a laptop (with its battery) rather than on a workstation provides a UPS on the cheap

I've had a few instances where it returned bad code or was unable to solve a challenge, however most were fixed by better prompts, or by clarifying prompts.
