This has been my experience as well. Google seems torn between multiple principles:

1. Like Google Search, you shouldn't try to organize your files, you should just let search do all the heavy lifting.
2. You should definitely organize things yourself, but search is a nice backup if you make a mistake -- anyone here create a document in Drive and have no idea what folder it *actually* ended up in?
3. Search? That's another team.

Twitter hired tons of employees since 2020 so the apparent massive layoffs simply weren't. And there is a lot of dead weight at tech companies regardless.

Political pundits had a direct interest in sabotaging the perception of Twitter as an authoritative source of new information, and the coordinated attempts to get advertisers to pull out early on also point in this direction.

The reason they aren't talking about it anymore is because, by and large, this plan failed, and those predictions weren't predictions but wishes. Some groups slinked off to Mastodon, which works for niche communities, but doesn't work for the site at large.
I believe they’ve talked about this on earnings before, as an area with very significant potential for increasing monetization.
Quantifying the Benefits of Inefficient Walking
Recipes are not just algorithms for cooking food, despite also being a sequence of steps. They can vary by culture and personal preference. The most experienced chefs cook by sense, don't follow precise measurements, and often experiment by changing ingredients or amounts in different ways. This makes dishes interesting, and you learn what works and what doesn't in the process.

There's no optimal way to prepare food. Once you've found a recipe that you enjoy, save it, remix it, and share it with someone else. If a 1950s cookbook works for you, that's great, but you'd be missing out on a lot of good food if you only follow recipes from a single, static source. Maybe even that meandering blogger is worth reading; otherwise there are many tools out there that could extract just the gist for you.

Of course they're being silly if they decide the mere discussion of holding criminals accountable is responsible for a rise in crime, just because said criminals happen to be wearing blue.

ChatGPT has been online for almost 3 months now. It reached 1 million users in just 5 days. This tool is taking the world by storm. The applications are practically limitless and it is just in its infancy stage at the moment.

I wrote a short story showcasing how to use ChatGPT as a Product Manager, you may want to check it out, the results are pretty impressive.

As the discussion online grows on the use cases of ChatGPT, so is the discussion on “how to detect AI-generated content” growing. And for many good reasons. One good example is all the news lately, on how ChatGPT generated content is passing top university exams.

But let’s take this from the beginning. The real question is the following:

Is there a way to detect text generated by ChatGPT?

To what extent are these used for this use case vs. very inexpensive laptop computers or Chromebooks? In most of my travels I've seen a lot more extremely cheap laptops than ARM SBCs.

I agree that there's a stronger justification for the desktop (and TV-dongle / emulation station, for which there's just a lack of better-suited competition) use case than the home lab one.

I feel like the non-stop handwringing about ChatGPT centers around people's expectations for machines vs people. We expect machines to have consitent, predictable output. We expect humans to inconsistent and messy.

Now we have a machine that is inconsistent and messy (and helpful!) and nobody seems to know what to think. Maybe we stop applying machine notions to this sort of machine? Stop expecting certain, consistant output. Understand that it's sometimes messy. We have these expectations already when working with humans.

Humans have biases, if you ask a human a loaded question you can expect a loaded response. If you train a LMM on a dataset that contains those human biases, why should you expect the result to be anything other than similarly biased?
Not sure why there's so much focus on the Pi and it's availability, that's not what the article is about.

The article is about the RK3588, it's a substantial upgrade in CPU performance, I/O performance, and network performance over the PI4. It also connects things directly to a much faster PCIe instead of relying on USB connected chips. I think of the Pi4 as popular, but a toy.

I compiled either rust or go (I did both, so I forget) 7 times faster than a 8GB ram Pi4 with my rk3588. It's really in a different class than the Pi4.

The rk3588 is in the order it today, get it this week type availability. I found it for sale in 3 places, 2 with ship times of 2 weeks, 1 with a get it the day after tomorrow.

MiniPCs are in the similar class, but compared to a $120 rk3588 with 8GB ram are often a bit lacking. Often MiniPCs are used, less than 8GB ram, don't have two 2.5G ethernet, require a custom wall wart+barrel connector, often have a fan, are usually in a cheap/plastic case (instead of a CNC machined case with integrated heat sink for $20), and in a much larger case. My case is 3.75" x 2.75" x 1" or so.

So yes, you can get a used MiniPC, maybe you don't mind missing a 2nd ethernet port, and sure you can buy more storage/ram. But for the size and power efficiency it's going to be hard to match. I suspect the x86 in the $120-$140 range (with 8GB of ram) are going to be slower, but I'm hoping someone posts some benchmarks to compare.
It feels to me like a final swan song for the era, both corporate and economic, in which a project like the 747 was possible.

ChatGPT is good invention. I am writing a researched based article on GPT.
Because the predictions were mainly people hating on rich people. It's very en-vogue. We're mad at all these [celebrities, athletes, CEOs, trust-fund-babies, techbros] for all these "reasons," like I really care if the guy who scored the touchdown is a good dad or something. And just look at the legions of people ready to call anyone a total moron who is on display.

So, Musk bought Twitter with his 44 Billion, and legions of people jumped in line to talk about what an idiot he was for buying it at that price, as if they (or anyone else) know how many billions twitter is worth, or as if they know how billionaires should spend their money.

Then they predicted he would fail immediately because, since he's an idiot and just fired pretty much the whole staff, he can't possibly run something as complex as Twitter.

But then he does, and so they start talking about how he "lost 100+ Billion" between the purchase price and what they perceive as a resulting dip in Tesla stocks. Statistically, 60% of these people can't handle a $1000 financial emergency in their life, but they're experts on big business and billion dollar companies.

Then they started saying they were going to quit twitter, and switch to Mastodon. Some even made the switch, although most seem to be posting in both worlds. But they were being smart, establishing before the inevitable collapse of Twitter.

Then they quit talking about it, because it didn't happen.

The thing is, this whole thing really has little to do with Twitter or its operations. Most of the people commenting on Musk/Twitter have zero fucking clue what twitter is like internally, technologically, what it needs to maintain (tech and culture both), how to improve it, etc etc. They are just hating on rich people.

Ridiculing people on the internet is also a really easy way to get a lot of engagement.

See also: constant disparaging comments about pg (pseudo-intellectual), Bezos (tiny man), Bill Gates, all past presidents, basically anyone making public decisions who is wealthy, all the conspiracies about eating babies and shipping children via wayfair, and on and on for days. This is also largely extending to any unliked groups, like "Russians" and "republicans" will be thought of as less-competent because "we don't like them." Some of these hated groups constitute about half the population. They can still be perfectly competent.

It didn't happen because it turns out Musk probably does know how to run companies.
All these features are nice and stuff... But they are often runtime features... At compile time Python doesnt tell you wether a program is correct. Which is fine for small programs or small services. But any big system is written in python is really hard to maintain without LOTS of unit tests...

Static typing, compile time checks just win in the long run. And with languages like kotlin you still have all the advantages, and you have nice tools like python has which execute at COMPILE time using DSL, which are type safe themselve..

Python has become mostly a toy language for me to write scripts in.
> I don't understand — if this randomized trial shows a benefit, and this video came out over a month ago, why is it not being discussed more, or trumpeted from the rooftops?

Since COVID began, there have been thousands of papers, studies, and small-scale trials that supposedly showed something positive, but the results can't be replicated in other studies or disappear when the sample size is scaled up.

In this case, the first study linked in that YouTube video description (I don't have time to watch it, sorry) is a report from n=30 patients in a Brazilian hospital in a somewhat obscure journal.

Given n=30 patients, I would have expected the data to be available or at least to see a graph of the 30 dots so we could visualize the difference. Instead, there's a note at the bottom that says they'll provide the data on request. I don't put much faith into obscure papers that won't even show their small datasets.

Maybe there's something here, maybe not, but if there was something this significant you can bet that medical device companies would be all over it. The medical industry doesn't like to leave golden opportunities on the table.
IMO having a kid is the cutoff between old young and young old.

Have a kid and the walls move in fast. Used to live in alternative shelters, backpacking in the outdoors for months on end? Yeah child services says that's substandard housing and abuse. Hell there were child abuse investigation just for a family backpacking the Appalachian trail, and that's a boring ass well planned thing that even old square fuckers can relate to.

Used to psychedelics or other drugs? Yeah the kid is trained at a very young age by police officers at the school to snitch you out, and they get them young enough they won't have a filter. DCS and/or criminal charges incoming.

Used to go overseas and do super dangerous stuff? Suddenly any family or friends that tolerated that say you're a piece of shit for risking your when a kid relies on you and the judge is gonna say even if you earn enough doing that to support the kid it's still not enough because the kid needs 20% of the imputed income you could make as a conservative working stiff no matter if they were fine before during the times you were making less, don't agree well then off to jail.

Your life is surrounded now by mandatory reporters. The doctor, the teacher, the therapist. Yeah, all mandatory reporters. Say something they don't like as a child-free and nobody gives a shit. Have a kid, fuck nah their alternative views are signs of abuse. Send in the investigators and let them sort it out.

And the people making these judgement calls are judges, lawyers, DCS workers. People plugged into the system. Not necessarily politically conservative but conditioned to fall within the norms of the system. Hell even SBF (the guy that never wears a suit even for billion dollar investment meetings) wears a suit in front of a judge, that's how conservative that system is.

You learn to keep your mouth shut. You learn to living in the boring ass house that has occupancy certification. You espouse the most boring views that will not anger a mandatory reporter. You diligently pay the taxes the government uses to drone strike brown people ovrseas. You refrain from drugs. You don't take risks that will result in not being able to make 20% of the imputed income you need to stay out of jail. Wait 18 years and you can be old young again.
that didn't happen. They flew this.
Expression is a choice, gender or otherwise. Why would one person's expression be any more or less valid than someone else's?

Not to be rude, but scientific/ai/data scientists are typically not the best "programmers" (best practices and code hygiene) , and their stuff is the main reason to be on Python these days (other than for small CLI and scripts), which pulls everything around into it like a black hole ("oh let's make the api in Python too, to keep it one language").

And Python has a ton of newbies, college kids etc.
Though this is also true of JavaScript.

As an industrial language/environment with best practices for very large codebases, it's really weak and I much prefer TypeScript despite the occasional tooling fatigue (has slowed down).

But a ton of money has been poured into JavaScript (v8) which really set that into motion.
To expand on this for anyone who doesn't quite follow, the government pays citizens £60 for recycling, which requires a certificate of proof, a citizen can give their plastic and £30 to a company for a certificate, but the company doesn't actually do the recycling.

1. Person has brilliant insight

I think the most important lesson of anyone's first job is that you have to stop writing like you're in school. There is no minimum word requirement. Only maximum.
> passing students who don’t deserve to pass

At one time, students were routinely "held back" if they didn't understand something well enough to pass. That gave them a chance to catch up, so that when they got back into the class, they would be more likely to succeed.

It always seemed to me that this was an act of kindness, for the alternative is for them to sit in classes of more and more demanding material, feeling less and less adequate.

Back in those days, it was not really considered a terrible thing to spend some extra time catching up. Folks would ask me around report time whether I had passed my exams. It was not meant as an insult, and was not taken to be one, either.

I see postsecondary students all the time who clearly have missed some steps at around grade 9 or so. Being smart and ambitious, these students would definitely have caught on, if someone had assessed them honestly. Instead, they live in an imposter-syndrome world, always waiting to be "found out".

Folded in with the false kindness of passing everyone is, as others have pointed out, the deeply corrosive influence of measuring teaching performance by passing rates.

It doesn't really take a lot more than honesty and sometimes a helping hand, to let students realize their potential, whatever it might be.
I haven't worked in an office in years, but in my case it's travel. The company has travel policies that are what they are. If I'm going to spend my own money and points to upgrade to travel that is outside of policy, well I'll do that. I might object if company policy were to travel baggage-class but it's really not. So I'll pay out-of-pocket here and there.
So? Intels stock price dropping does not impact intel’s revenue, its expenses, or in fact any part of running the company at all.

Also eventually the cost of losing all your good people, and failing to keep up with the rest of the industry will mean that 5% dividend is 5% of much less actual income.

> Does it make sense for me, as a well-paid knowledge worker, to spend several hours a week struggling with tasks that used to be done far better by entry-level workers who needed the employment?

I think/talk about this all the time. I think there are some non-consumer examples of this also. For example, my wife is a Physician Assistant and spends most of her time entering information into the health system. While she's seeing a patient - she has to wait many seconds for the next screen to come up before she can continue talking to the patient. She has to to keep up with and know that system in addition to knowing medicine. But if she had someone else doing this for her. Maybe even taking raw notes and then entering them in right after - she'd free up her time for actual medicine.

Another example is the fact that my boss spends a lot of his time doing non-technical managerial work. But if they hired just one more person in our department to just do that work.

Basically what I'm saying is that Medical and IT people should all have assistants.
