Yes. I conflated the project rewrites with component rewrites.

The statement, "Almost every project sees fewer issues with a rewrite, no matter which languages are involved.", was too broad and I wanted to show how I disagreed with it when the article I cited was concerned with component rewrites.

I did not intend to conflate the two since the scopes are quite different.
It's an amazing accomplishment technically, and that deserves to be emphasized, but it is still not producing reliable outputs.

Subjectively incredible; objectively flawed.
Wow. this attitude is awful and sadly not that uncommon. I have a friend whose household income is around 400k, is an effective alturist, and tips 10% at restaurants because he thinks tipping is unfair. The only place you're really expected to tip is a restaurant - 15-20%. everything else is optional, but when you make a ton of money and have taken care of your own, you tip people well for the hard work they do for you. Seriously, most of on this site, if we've been working 10+ years should be giving a 20 to the handyman, or leaving $10 on the bed at the hotel.
Takes time to migrate to a completely new display manager :) For now it's opt-in, in the future it'll obviously be default if you're on Wayland.

If you don't like bleeding edge, warts or sometimes unpolished experiences, might be better to go with Windows or macOS, no one would blame you.
Question. How does one feed content to ChatGPT and get such output?
Doing this through the GPU is actually somehow A LOT slower on at least Windows than going through the windowing system.
Sorta. They have power by virtue of aggregated votes. The vast majority of people don’t submit their preference for proxy so the passives end up with these huge voting blocks. They either end up rolling with whatever majority they did get on the patchy submissions they got or they make a judgement call

So yeah on paper they are just conduits but they are not as powerless as they would have you believe. Anyone sitting on billions has some power even if they don’t actively move it
Which drone do you have?
You could get a somewhat managed NextCloud instance on Hetzner: https://www.hetzner.com/storage/storage-share (but it appears that it's not yet available in their US datacenters)
Of course you could also self-host on Hetzner (they do have US datacenters in general, just not every service they offer), which is pretty cheap.

There's also https://www.pikapods.com/ that offers to host it for you in a simplified manner if you don't wont all the server hassle.
The problem is -- just like the food products the author uses as analogy -- there is no reasonable agreed-on line between "natural" and "unnatural", "homemade" vs "factory", and "AI" vs "not-AI" because the processes at work are a gradient.

Is my spell or grammar check an AI? No, why not? What if I translate a word from another language while writing, using an automatic translation tool? What about the algorithms that boost (or don't boost) my post through various networks, and pick an audience for it? And the analytics tools I use? etc. etc. And all of this will just become murkier and murkier.

"AI" is itself a problematic term, since as many of us know many of the things so-marketed are little more than a bundle of heuristics or a complicated statistical model. And many of the "authoring" tools generating texts or images or code are really just copy-and-pasting-and-mutating things without a lot of magic in-between, but in clever ways that "trick" us into seeing it as original authorship. (Ok us humans do this too)

Perhaps the most reasonable dividing line is: is there a machine here that is emulating a human, pretending to be one? That is perhaps the thing that bothers me most about the recent wave with ChatGPT, Google's Meena etc -- the authors of these systems didn't have to create systems that presented with a human-like identity with pronouns and the illusion of selfhood. But they did, and now we have the Lemoine incident etc.

Reminds me very much of Dune, and its "Orange Catholic Bible"'s “Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a human mind.” I think Herbert was onto something -- the question of whether something is truly human (or human created) or not might become the key important issue of our time and the ambiguity and confusion around that is going to become troublesome.
Yep, I got your point and I think you drove it home. I mistaken you for something else.
Decide if the right structure was chosen: Even if the code is doing the right thing, its structure may be ineffective or inefficient.

I can't help thinking that if you're waiting until code review to determine if someone on the team wrote the code in a way that will pass a review or not then you have some serious comms issues on your team. If this is a problem then you should be doing mini reviews during the dev process as well as a code review at the end.
There are various ways of looking at it and, of course, all sorts of people involved. My focus has always just been to encourage people to treat the search engines as an index that will pick up and rank quality content if you treat them that way. It still works very well today.
Interesting fact for those (including myself) who always wondered on flights why there are still ashtrays in the lavatories despite signs everywhere saying no smoking: "Now, ashtrays in bathrooms are listed by as a legal requirement for “minimum equipment” by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). So seriously is the regulation taken that in 2009 a Mexico-bound British airways flight was grounded after it was discovered not to be packing any ashtrays. (https://time.com/4919780/airplanes-smoking-tray-ashtrays-air...)
I didn't. I smashed them with a hammer and replaced them with new ones!
Is there a easy self host alternative to Vercel for next js apps?
As far as I can tell, there is no point whatsoever to have tipping as an option on payment terminals.

You use them when you are getting takeout, or when you are at a fast-casual place. If there is waitstaff, then they take your card and you never see a terminal. But tipping is only customary when there is involvement of waitstaff. Complete disconnect.

Printing receipts with a tip line in a circumstance where there is no involvement of waitstaff is also pretty sketchy.

They should just ban it on these terminals and on the receipts. Tip with cash if you want to. Let businesses set fair wages and prices accordingly. End of story.
Dijkstra's cannot be used as generally as described. A-star can potentially be more general, but that's highly dependent on heuristic. Dinkstras is a-star with a "min weight on shortest path first" heuristic. Because a star doesn't expand shortest paths first necessarily, it cannot necessarily find the shortest path to any node except the prescribed endpoint. Dijkstra's will find all shortest paths with cost less than the path to the endpoint, and that's helpful sometimes.
Yeah honestly it’s really hard to do, and with every intermediate system there are tons of tunables and setup specific stuff.

The effort is commendable, and since y’all have provided code it’s much more reproducible
> swapping gigs at this or that restaurant to work with this or that regional manager

This or that restaurant or this or that regional manager could give them a fair wage and incorporate their labour cost in the prices of the items on the menu.

I just had a chat with an AWS customer support agent earlier today... should I send them $10 for their service? Next month they could be working for GCP (or this or that) support, how can I expect AWS to pay them directly?
i am genuinely surprised that pg is writing such a short response to a question that seems right down his alley, seemingly very core to his subject matter. how has he not written an authoritative “how to get ideas” post until now?
That looks a lot like ‘playfulness’, which would generally be considered a sign of intelligence if it were observed in, say, animals.

You asked it to write an essay on a nonsensical premise so you got a nonsensical essay. If you just ask chatGPT ‘what is the value of camels in cybersecurity’ it doesn’t see that as a cue to play:

> I'm not sure what you mean by "the value of camels in cybersecurity." Camels are a type of mammal that are commonly used for transportation and as a source of food and other resources in certain parts of the world. They do not have any direct connection to cybersecurity.
I have a DJI Mini 3 Pro, it has a feature called Active Track[0] where you highlight a subject on the screen and then select how you'd like it to follow you. It can go alongside you or behind you - can follow things like cars too. Despite the sensors, it can be a little scary getting it to follow you when there are trees or telephone lines nearby, but in a lake or the sea it should be great. There are safety features where if it loses connection to the controller it can hover in place, land or return to home (where it took off from).

Isn't that what com is for? Win32 is compiler agnostic.
Your approach is nice and easy and sensible. I personally preferred hetzner to linode (which has a history of bad security) but I imagine the minimum price is higher.

When you’re ready to reduce prices and increase privacy, take a look at a tiny (like t3a.micro or .nano) ec2 instance that forwards to/from your “real” server at home which can be beefier. The home server maintains a vpn connection to the ec2 instance. you also need to configure nat and port forwarding on both sides so you’ll need to get your hands dirty with nftables/netfilter (probably a night or two of pain realistically).

Once it’s set up and working and you can get your monthly spend down to $3-$4 (I pay up front for three years of ec2 credits). You need your own hardware but a used nuc for example is pretty cheap and adding storage is a matter of buying an external usb hard drive.

And if you stick to https/tls (via letsencrypt) the Amazon forwarding instance can’t see what’s in your traffic (just which ips are visiting you and when).

(You could obviously cut Amazon out entirely if you’re comfortable hosting directly from your home ip but I never wanted to deal with the potential isp headaches.)

This November '22 letter [1] from TCI has even more details.

Their argument sounds quite compelling, to be honest:

As detailed in Alphabet's Schedule 14A filing, median compensation totaled $295,884 in 2021. An analysis by S&P Global illustrates that median compensation at Alphabet was 67% higher than at Microsoft and 153% higher than the 20 largest listed technology companies in the US. There is no justification for this enormous disparity.

We acknowledge that Alphabet employs some of the most talented and brightest computer scientists and engineers, but these represent only a fraction of the employee base. Many employees are performing general sales, marketing and administrative jobs, who should be compensated in-line with other technology companies.

As of three weeks ago, mine was set to 500, so I can confirm that low, at least.

Plenty of master password changes in the past several years, so plenty of opportunities for it to have been automatically set higher. The only reason I hadn't set it higher myself is I didn't know it was a setting at all.
You are quite right. Open source software is always riddled with complicated and unintuitive UX like this. It's created by developers for developers. It's only when product owners, designers, and commercial managers get involved that the UX begins making sense.
The benchmarks that you have in mind had probably been run on some later Piledriver/Steamroller/Excavator models, which corrected some of the initial problems, like the too low instruction decoding throughput, and which raised the clock frequency, due to an improved CMOS SOS process.

I also had an AMD Richland APU of 4.4 GHz, which was reasonably faster for most tasks than an Intel Haswell U i5, but the speed ratio was much, much less than the power consumption ratio of 100 W for AMD vs. 15 W for Intel.

The original Bulldozer fared much worse against Sandy Bridge.
Titan in this context could mean a large entity with a wide reach. No one is mistaking it as being a cutting edge source of news but it’s hard to deny that the brand name has a significant amount of awareness and namr recognition that has been fostered over two decades. Their audience isn’t tech workers. It’s people like your mom and dad looking for tech tips.
Yeah, there’s no way to account for everyone. It’s probably not fair to assume there’s a huge amount of untracked users. And Mozilla cops to the continuing decline as well:

Sounds like translating clear, obvious text to what people want the answer to be. Now explain Babel.

"And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven....

And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.

And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.

Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.

So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.

Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth. Genesis 11:1-9
"

The crime? The people were one, and were making progress.
Banks have methods to try to limit churning some are explicit like Amex “once per lifetime rule” where you can only get a sign up bonus for a particular card once.

And they have what is colloquially known as “pop up jail” where when you try to sign up for a new card, they will allow you but pop up a warning saying you won’t get the bonus if you apply for the card. It’s based on your previous behavior with them.

But even while the algorithm for how they choose it is secret, it’s been reverse engineered for the most part via crowd sourcing.

Most credit cards also will deny you if you have opened too many recent cards no matter what your credit is. For instance I just got denied the CapitalOne SavorOne card that had 10% cash back for Uber and I have an 800+ Fico.
"He pleaded with staffers to remain motivated"

I heard a few more details of how they had to create a department since they had never had a layoff before to make everyone's access disappear at the same time. People found out they were gone when their badges stopped working. No contact at all with management.

This was a collosal management failure direct from the top.

Expect experienced people to start to bail.
> There are plenty of students and elderly that could handle the job

There is not an infinite supply of students who have the time to do that job. Our son worked at a coffee shop. Until the manager started pressuring him to work more hours than he had time for.

Some people think other people's jobs are bullshit. And then you end up with a shortage of competent workers. Every job should be lucrative.
This is interesting to me because my mother has MS and it's _because_ the blood-brain barrier is too open that she has health issues. Surprising there's good reason to open it up.
>objectively it doesn't hurt you in any way, but the reason it does is because you have these strong beliefs against it, so you basically choose to be hurt.

If you acknowledge it does hurt them in some subjective way, why do you assume that the reason it hurts them is because they have strong beliefs about it, and not the other way around?
If you run the GNU Emacs tutorial, you will also find the hint to use two spaces after a sentence. Emacs (and possibly other programs) can such distinguish between abbreviation points and sentence endings. E.g., M-a and M-e jump to the start and ending of a sentence.
Interesting, what's the biggest pain point in your view?
That's close, but not quite right. Rentals don't exist within a vacuum. They compete against the option of buying outright. If buying outright suddenly got more expensive (because mortgage rates went up), then rentals suddenly has less competition and therefore they can raise prices.

I know, all those frusty old grumpyboots who actually want the thing to return factually accurate answers and valid code.

Just be happy with plausible sounding answers people. Sheesh!
The addressing logic on the 80386+ can add an index shifted left by 0..3 bits (unscaled, x2, x4, x8) with a base register plus an immediate offset.

By using the same register for base and index you can also multiply one register by 3, 5 or 9.

Earlier (16 bit) x86 chips did not have the scaling feature and were limited to certain combinations of base and index (BX/BP as base, SI/DI as index), so LEA was less useful. If the registers are carefully assigned, it could still be used to do an addition and put the result into another register. Normal ALU operations always use one of the operands as their destination.
Now that is a name I never would've expected to see next to Blockbuster's. I also had no idea that Blockbuster was that close to launching a streaming service; like a lot of other people, I guess I always assumed they just were overconfident and thus too slow to catch up.

What are these websites ?

Search - I don't really see a browser specific optimization potential here.

YouTube is probably mostly app based on mobile.

Gmail and other gsuite apps are also app based on mobile.

I'd be surprised if they cared about mobile Safari support in those much or if it played a big factor.
not an expert, but i think usually one of two ways - either use openai’s finetune api (the right way) or embed all the docs, retrieve them using embedding of the questions, and add just enough of them to the prompt to generate a response (gpt-index or langchain help automate some of this).

downside of former is lack of sources, downside of latter is context constraint

Sounds smart: pasting words together with little to no sense about whether the result is insensible or incorrect.

Smart: Actually having ideas, expressing them, and being able recognize errors with that process.

That sounds like it would be simple to work around by automatically replacing words with sensible synonyms, changing punctuation, or even translating between languages. I wonder if there's a way to encode the "signature" such that it would survive these lossy transformations.

While I agree with you on principles, it's also true that extremely outdated apps are an actually exploited vulnerability. Plus, technically, you can still load them via adb.
You are correct. In fact, I'd call it a moral BAD to forcefully redistribute resources according to someone's weird dystopian fantasy that everyone can be equal through some ridiculous idea of UN-achievable utopian equity.

The ONLY way that is possible is to bring down the higher achieving people to the lowest common denominator. You cannot bring people UP past a certain level.

"And I consider it obvious that "Bias based on attractiveness is no worse than bias based on personality or any other trait" isn't something that would be widely agreed upon." -

This completely case dependent there are careers where intelligence is sought and there are careers where attractiveness may be advantageous. The only reason this is "obvious" to you is because you've been tainted by recent modern thought that believes there's no value in physical attractiveness.The fact your bias towards certain physical traits is fine while other physical traits are off limits should tell you something about the cognitive dissonance of this though pattern. Maybe you ought to ask yourself why it's ok to be biased against physical attractiveness but not physical skin color????
> Bret Victor has himself been working on the problem for ten years

tbf, he measures the timescale of the Dynamicland project in decades, and marks 2022 as the first time "Dynamicland meets the world" [1]. Seems like he's matching the pace he set for himself, so you really can't say he hasn't had popular success if he hasn't even tried to popularize it yet.

Also tbf, any concept involving "a place where a bunch of people congregate and touch things" has suffered since the pandemic, so I think we can still maintain a "wait-and-see" stance instead of declaring the ideas dead.

I commented on this video three years ago while working on LTO library diagnostics. Comment is still up. As far I can recall the issue here is the drive sled not the actual drive, it’s malfunctioning and needs to be replaced. This is not by design and is usually covered under warranty. Normally it only blasts at 100% during boot. I’ve worked with hundreds if not thousands of these.
