Interesting.

This is, perhaps, the most novel and innovative use of a GPT model I have encountered so far.

It feels like you have invented a new product category. Maybe “category” isn’t the right term, a feature? This should be one of the ways to consume and interact with books in the future. It’s an amazing tool for better understanding the material, revising, replacing bookmarks in many cases, and so on. A fascinating advancement!

I want this to be bundled with every book I buy from now on.
LOL, exactly.

I'm trying hard to feel sorry for SV FAANG workers getting laid off but I can't[1].

I'm also struggling to see how their self-esteem will take years to recover from this.

Those cosseted 'engineers' earn probably 2 to 4 times a year more than me, and get meals etc. Their severance package is probably my annual wage. Plenty of time to find another gig with their FAANG resumes that suits their expectations.

Perhaps if they spent a few years in the less rarified development jobs a lot of us deal with they might better understand their position in the world.

[1] No I'm not.
Given I have a lot of books, and a lot of different types of books and also a bunch of PDF's, how might I slurp my collection and get it to play well with GPT-3 in the method suggested by OP?
An urgent task needs to be done soon. An important task needs to be done by you.

1) If it's a work task and you're at the bottom of a hierarchy, everything given to you by the boss is 'important' by this definition.

2) It may be important to them - the trick is finding the right person.

Taking your kid to a scary dentist appointment is urgent and important; it can't be delayed and it can't be anyone else.
I watched those used in real-time as a jerk left his car at the entrance to a casino. A valet ran to get those and they just moved his car out of the way. Restored my faith in humanity how smooth of an operation it all was.

Relative to COL, it depends. I mean sure, If they moved to King City, maybe? But then why all the complaints about SF affordability if the answer is "move to a locale where your income allows you to afford rent without rent control" --if you can find a job"

Yes, but it locks out the third-party refurbished market. If a Macbook breaks and the owner chooses to replace instead of repair, there isn't a way to factory reset it. A repair shop has no choice but to scrap the computer even if it's fixable.
Strikes me as a desperate attempt to save face and explain away the most plausible explanation - that one of their pilots committed an atrocity.
It's so strange that we go out of our way to discount the only people in society who are trying to correct issues like fraud.

I don't have the skills of the person who decoded the signal... however, if you get your ham radio license and start playing with the various digital modes, you'll start to recognize the various sounds of different modes. An APRS data packet [1] has a very unique sound. Same with with RTTY [2]. Our brains are really good at pattern matching if they're exposed to a pattern enough times. Obviously, you'd still need a computer to decode those signals, but the "sound" of the signals can give you a very good headstart.

The Lisa had two operating environments written in Pascal - the standard Lisa OS/Lisa Office System, which resembled early Mac environments but supported protected memory, and the mostly text-based Lisa Workshop development environment, which resembled the UCSD p-system, but supported native compilation, assembly language, and a Lisa GUI-based text editor.

Two big extensions to standard/Wirth Pascal that enabled Pascal to work well for the Lisa and subsequent systems were units (separate compilation modules that could be imported/referenced using the USES statement) and an early version of Object Pascal known as Clascal.

I'm not sure that Pascal's evolution from Wirth Pascal to UCSD/Lisa/Turbo/etc. Pascal to Object Pascal and Delphi is something to complain about, any more than we'd complain about C evolving from K&R to C89/.../C23 and to C++ (and its various versions.) Pascal is still a capable and relatively compact language.

I think Pascal versions that lacked the @ operator and type casts could often use case variant records (relying on technically undefined behavior) to accomplish similar things.
Adobe employee. I keep trying to get "Adobos" or at least "Adobians" to catch on, but it hasn't yet.
For writing lists, this is going to be a real godsend! I'm really happy to hear this is being considered for first class support. It's hard to understate the value of making lists in documentation easier to both read & write

Second, adding XML snippets* into documentation is going to become far easier with markdown. It's common to want some documentation that says: "add this XML example to your config file: ...{xml}...". Generally at that point the HTML generation is completely thrown out of the window for the sake of the documentation being able to be usable with ready-to-go copy/paste examples. (Grant-it, I've yet to really work on any project that uses generated javadoc documentation. [Which just perhaps shows I have never contributed to any core java libraries or anything meant tob be consumed as a java library]. But for example, my advice to colleagues that I work with for documentation is to focus on audience and to take note that HTML-javadoc is never generated for the project they are working in. So don't optimize for a generator that is never run, optimize readability for the actual dev sitting between their keyboard and chair that is reading the javadoc)

* Yeah, CDATA could be employed, but who wants to do that?
That is not unique to Texas.
I'll be honest, I have no idea what a "hint of controversy" is supposed to mean in this context.
Indeed. The picture in the article just shows how inefficient cars are in cities. A bicycle could easily filter through that entire line of cars in under a minute.
>the customer gets more value out of the modded device, which means more sales to the device vendor.

Not sure about the modern xbox, but a lot of game consoles have traditionally been sold at a loss with the expectation of making it up on game licensing fees.

Making more sales at a loss without a significant enough increase in licensing revenue equals a bigger loss. And that's before accounting for the higher support costs of people with incompatible 3rd-party hardware calling Xbox support.

Completely aside, I think what you describe is going to soon be considered an arcane art - I fear "machine learning" is going to be the catch-all to describe what is really just pure math.

Layoffs are bad for a myriad of reasons. They are purely an accounting action, but they ignore that the line items represent people. Layoffs say that we will sacrifice our employees when the company has poorly planned, because our people are only positive assets when we're trying to hire.

Management and especially executives are the least affected by layoffs, yet it was their decision making that led to the layoffs in the first place. In fact, these people stand to gain from layoffs because they have heavy equity compensation and shareholders seem to froth at the mouth for layoffs.

This idea that companies move from growth to profit and back and forth seems naïve at best. Yet, companies do indeed do this. So the executives who rode the past three years of insane stock growth, making a ton from equity and investments and hiring like madmen, now get to turn around and say "we're sorry, good luck paying your mortgage".

The incentives are all wrong, as the very people who control the decisions that lead up to layoffs are both immune from the layoffs and tacitly benefit from them.

Everyone and their dog knew this market clawback was coming, and it's been here for over a year already. You're telling me these supposedly brilliant executives couldn't have planned better?

Lately, and I've seen it happen, after layoffs, the companies immediately start hiring again for the exact same positions they just laid off. Over time, they hire a large portion of the positions back. So, what was the point? The point was to appease stockholders in the short term.
When I was at Aph around 1978, we all trooped off to some electronics convention. Since my job there was assembling prototype boards, when I was getting the badge at the ticket booth, and I was asked my job title, I said "Gnome".

The guy creating the badge was horrified. He asked me several times if I really wanted this, and I confirmed. The Aph people behind me then gave their job titles as "Wizard", "Nerd", and some other fantasy terms.

Attendees would read our badges and exclaim they should have done the same thing.

Thereafter, this became commonplace.

I don't know if I started this trend, but it seems like I was the first. I wish I'd kept the badge, but who knew?

Best case you get a job you want. Worst case you apply to a different job. Seems outsized in the gain department, for all parties (considering how dumb a GPA requirement is on a resume).

But yes, that is exactly what Hindenburg does – not sure if GC thinks shorting companies you think are frauds is a bad thing or what – as far as I'm concerned it is the best reason for shorts to exist! I'd have more questions if Hindenburg wasn't shorting Adani Group after this report.

Orthopedic surgeon here. Outpatient total joint replacements have taken off like a rocket in the last few years, in part due to advances in due to pain control (pre operative peripheral nerve blocks, etc), accelerated physical therapy, and all around better management and prevention of all the common postop complaints (nausea, opioid induced constipation, etc), but I would say the number one driver has been that insurance companies (including Medicare) will finally pay for it to be done outpatient. 3 years ago you had to keep people in the hospital at least overnight to even get reimbursed. The same phenomenon has happened with many of the spine procedures that can now be done outpatient. The actual surgical techniques have not really changed much over the last few decades other than popularizing a few approaches (anterior vs posterior) or bearing surfaces (metal on polyethylene vs ceramic on polyethylene, etc).

Part of the exploitation process, imho inherent to capitalism, involved a migration from your “tip to good service” to “opportunity to save” (money) by the owners.

I am, admittedly, a leftist and incredibly untrusting of anything where workers are not an equal part of the ownership in a business, so I know I jump too conclusion/assumption quicker than I prob should. But, I think there is no doubt that there is a lot of FUD around what would happen if staff were paid a living wage, all meant to distract to keep profit in pockets of the owner.

(Anecdotally, I don’t remember tipping being the norm when I visited Europe. But it was some time ago.)

It's worth looking at the multi-year CHERI research project on capabilities, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30007474, which has influenced Arm security features and roadmaps. Pluton could be viewed as a stepping stone to CHERI. From a recent blog post by MS Research, https://saaramar.github.io/memory_safety_blogpost_2022/

> these tiny parts usually run with high privileges and dramatically impact the overall system. In such cases, MTE/CHERI play pretty nicely - they help ensure that whatever bugs we have in these areas are killed at their root cause (probabilistically/deterministically). This is exactly why MSR, MSRC and Azure Silicon pushed for this AMAZING project of CheriIoT ... scaling CHERI down to RISC-V32E, the smallest core RISC-V specification. I’m very excited about this project, and I hope once we will open-source the ISA and the prototype, more folks across the industry could join.

That is a direction that would benefit everyone: open silicon and open firmware for the most security sensitive components. It is technically possible and at least some humans in big companies understand the importance to future would-be-digital civilizations.
Honestly, it's a great thing that our financial system enables and rewards investigations like this.

Yes but also no. If you have an exact string query that'll turn up the topic you want then, sure, you can find a topic easily. If your question is more tangential, say you kind of know what topic you're looking for but don't know what it's called in language X's standard library, you're pretty basically SOL unless an author happened to mention a phrase you can match.

Using chat GPT to solve this problem seems pretty awesome, it would be super handy to query my (larger than it has any right to be) library of reference books using not-exactly-competent requests.
