> Before "nations" people didnt regard borders, states, etc. as they do today. "citizenship" of a "nation" is a relatively recent phenomenon.

"Nationalism" had more to do with the relationship between the state and the nation, not the existence of nations. The word "nation" is very old.

Nation comes from the Latin "natio" meaning "birth, origin; breed, stock, kind, species; race of people, tribe"[0]. Thus, the essential basis for nationality is familial, a matter of common descent (as all human beings form an extended family, where you draw the line on this blurry map will depend on other factors like culture and language and ultimately the good held in common; note how Croats, Serbs, and Bosnians speak basically the same language, it is the religious and therefore cultural differences that separate them). Naturally, people migrate all the time between nations. That is normal to the degree that migration does not harm the common good of the host society. But immigration is effectively a matter of adoption. We can adopt children. We can also adopt nations.

British guy here: sorry if this is a silly question but are you talking about an actual radio station which is just people talking about repairing cars? That’s so interesting! Nothing like that here. Maybe the odd specialist show once a week like Gardener’s Question Time or whatever.
> [...] routine care at [...] urgent care [...]

I think that says it all. That's a broken system you're just gaming & claiming nothing's wrong.
As others already pointed out, the linked article seems to say the reverse of how you interpreted it (though I would agree the terms are a bit ambiguous).

Note taking as parrotting is distinct from note taking as distillation. The latter has much more chance of getting results with proper spaced repetition, since it will help establish a concrete foundation on which to build more knowledge in an easily retrievable manner. The former may or may not benefit from spaced repetition at all.

I would say if GPT distills successfully, while this isnt as good as self-distillation, it may still be useful.

If not, or worse, actively bullshits, it probably won't be much help.
For that matter, the licensing of the music on certain TV series didn't anticipate DVDs. Northern Exposure and WKRP in Cincinnati were missing a lot of the original music on the DVDs--although this is apparently partly corrected in the newer complete series releases.
In the vast majority of cases I'm glad that my programs run fast. sure I have to do some work to avoid undefined behavior, but most code is correctly defined, and the exceptions are bad code that I need to fix anyway as even if the behavior was 100% defined to C it would still be buggy as in not do what my users want.
> Search engines (and I suspect a ChatGPT-style engine, if one wants to talk about it about current events, things currently available, or other topics of the day) have to be continuously refreshed to be relevant.

Maybe. It depends on what you're searching for. I'd say that 80% of the searches I engage in don't need a particularly fresh database to satisfy.
> In France, large project like aircraft carrier or nuclear subs are produced usually at a single digit volume.

"Single digit" is extremely generous, 4 submarines over the course of a decade is the high point of French naval construction. With aircraft carriers it's closer to "one every thirty years", while the US tries to have two under construction at all times. At that point you're not even maintaining any institutional knowledge, engineers will retire before they see a second aircraft carrier being constructed.

It's not as bad with aircraft: France would never export a nuclear submarine or carrier, nor would anyone be able to afford them (even the planned Australian contract wasn't nuclear, iirc). Aircraft are a lot cheaper, a lot less of a political minefield, and so sell easier.

But, at the same time, the US poured $74 billions into the F-22, and $400 billions into the F-35. Just developing the F-35 would require 20% of France's GDP. Not military budget, not government budget, GDP.

And while a competing design starting today would save a moderate amount of money on things like engines (France was just about able to keep up, R&D wise) and avionics (just due to general semiconductor advances in the private sector), a lot of the secret sauce of the F-35 is in its stealth technology (which is not just effective, but also easy to maintain, a very tricky balance that needs decades of experience – which the US collected with the F-117 and B-2, which collectively cost another $60+ billion) and its software stack (and the less said about the sad state of EU software dev, the better, we've been bleeding talent to the US for generations and it shows).
I encourage trying this out while playing some scales in any instrument (: Very fun to watch
The Fairness Doctrine was an unconstitutional prior restraint on speech and was used to silence debate on the Vietnam War[1]. Moreover it was ridiculous, the idea of having a singular "public interest" makes no sense. Who could possibly have enough information and insight to define a singular "public interest" across all possible news topics? It was a relic of the age of central planning and followed from a history of the FCC denying licenses to radio stations that "editorialized" which meant broadcasting political speech that the FCC didn't like. The "pervasiveness argument" for the Fairness Doctrine is utterly nonsense[2], boiling down to the government having an overriding interest if speech is persuasive, which would limit freedom of speech only to private or unpersuasive speech which renders it no right at all.

He is playing a dangerous game of appearances with stock buybacks to fool investors, is all a show - the fundamentals did not change that much
As the poster commented, it was a typo in this case and should have been "a". But, in general, we would use "an" preceding an acronym whenever the pronunciation of the acronym begins with a vowel sound. To use some broadcast networks as examples, you could say "A CBS production" [analogous to "a CGI"], but "An ABC production" or "An NBC production" (note NBC is pronounced starting with a vowel sound, at the start of "en").
Setting media.autoplay.block-webaudio=false in about:config enables sound for me. Sound is crackling though. It happens when audio output sample rate is not 44100hz according to their forums.
>Antisemitism is more common among left wingers than right wingers

The architect ALWAYS ends up doing this. The other manager needs to be very active and engaged to actually deliver any value to the team and take some of this work off of the architect.
Welcome to being a senior dev. Your job is teaching, coaching, and developing others. Because the better and faster you do so, the better and faster the team will be at achieving your visions. You have the opportunity to set the direction for many engineers and build things bigger than you yourself can build alone, AND the people who will one day be able to help you do that.

Teaching is an investment (and is, imo, super rewarding). Think about where your team will be in one year if you spend the time now to level up everyone.

Wow. I completely missed that was per year. I thought it was a one time purchase and thought that seemed a bit high. MS sells Server Essentials for up to 10 cores for $500 and that includes use on 1 VM as well AFAIK (don't take that as licensing advice).
Never heard of Interledger until now.

To be fair Chrome on Android kind of sucks because it doesn't have built-in adblocking or extension support.
State of the art encryption has become so widespread and well known that anyone with the tiniest interest in privacy can download one of the hundreds of open source E2EE messaging platforms to use for their criminal activities.

This line of thinking has always struck me as extremely odd - as soon as current, presumably E2EE, methods of communication are tapped into for intelligence and law enforcement purposes, criminals can and will switch to projects that don't comply with the backdoor laws. It's a violation of privacy that only law-abiding citizens will be subject to, for everyone else it's optional.

You might catch a wave of them off guard in the beginning, but in the long term all you end up doing is surveilling innocent people and maybe catching lowest hanging fruit - the types of people who are already dumb enough to share their criminal activities on Facebook.
Even if you take this perspective, different groups are considered vulnerable in different parts of the world and it seems the API uses the American perspective. E.g. Scandinavians are a less protected group than Italians according to the article. But if you are in Italy, you will likely find Italians to be less vulnerable. Even if you agree with the rankings, this just means you come from the same cultural perspective and others will disagree.

This is a fundamental problem with identifying hate / bias and I think its important to understand our current limitations.
> When we are in "action mode," our thinking becomes fairly "binary," and extreme (eg. "Good|Bad", "Fight|Flight", "Hate|Love").

> It also focuses on short-term results, and is biased towards assured results, as opposed to "possible" ones.

What's interesting to me is that this type of thinking also overlaps with, or is found in, a variety of circumstances/ways of being, like:

- Unskilled (despite experience level)

- Beginner

- Under-trained

- Unsupported or under-supported role or assignment

- Self-centered (egoic-hero model)

- Little-picture Thinker

- Fearful attitude

... It's helpful to be able to refer to these other lenses in turn, as a way of finding helpful solutions.
This is most content on Youtube Shorts (reels?) now. In between Joe Rogan snippets are "Historical Photos" with voice-over descriptions and other rubbish. Very easy to imagine most of these being AI generated.

Its completely empty calories in terms of knowledge.
Exactly - you have a reasonable model of a person. So it also includes things like a recommendations giving you the _opposite_ of the purported opinion. Or trusting the details are technically true, but missing the forest for the trees. Or any other contextual interpretation of the data.
Agree with most but I've been using right side taskbars since Windows 98 owing to screen real estate (more width to spare for a taskbar than height has to spare).

Now why "right" side? Well because I'm right handed, scrollbars are right side, resize is right side, tabs extend/open to right and usually closed LIFO. I find I travel less distance across windows/Ubuntu/macos in general.

And yes I hate the Mac's left placement of window controlsnehich breaks my flow.
Say what you like about Apple, but having all these functions on the Cmd key instead is not just more logical, it's actually sane (doubly so for the terminal). I think MS has missed an enormous opportunity when they introduced the Win key; and X11 desktops, toolkits, and apps imitated the more familiar (rather than the better) solutions.

I'm pretty happy with Chat GPT. There was yet-another thread about the degradation of Google Search results a few weeks ago and folks here talked about the uselessness of it's results. I remember when my mom taught me to "search like a pro" back in the 90s. She was a librarian and she taught me valuable things before those search parameters were known as "Google hacks". I remember how powerful it felt to be able to find anything related to what I wanted to know. Google still provides useful results - buried in all the crap. There's so much valuable info to find, and so much more crap in 2023. The signal to noise ratio is worse.

So I tried Chat GPT recently and I asked it about something I've never quite understood. "How is an antenna designed to prevent the feedline emanating radio waves?" and it gave me a very focused explanation of how impedance is matched between the feedline and antenna to reduce standing waves and power being reflected back to the transmitter. I was so happy with this, because although i could find countless resources on antenna design they were much too dry for my understanding. I was always lost navigating the text because I didn't have the formal education to piece together 'what they're saying over here relates to what is being said over here'. You have to have a certain level of comprehension with the subject material to locate information.

I think Chat GPT and things like it represent the search engines of tomorrow. There's a DEFINITE risk of creating recycled, incorrect content and prompting it circularly into the same dumpster of misinformation. However, I spent 15-20 minutes re-articulating my question about antennas and "what part of the antenna prevents this?" and I came away very happy with my new understanding.

I'm looking forward to AI-assisted learning, and it feels as magical as Google Search did in the 90s.

In another instance, I asked it how to run a Powershell script on a remote computer with psexec and it produced the correct commands but did not warn me the script had to first be copied over to the remote machine. All good explanations / demonstrations should come with clarifying questions. I'm very happy I can ask technical things like this, embarrassing things, very abstract/broad things, and have an AI that will guide me into new understanding.

Take it all with a grain of salt. Looks like I'll be doing the $20/month for ChatGPT Pro though. It's more valuable and entertaining to my day-to-day curiosities than something like Netflix.
You use `an` in front of an acronym when the first letter of it has a vowel _sound_, even if the letter itself is not a vowel.

Example:
"A member of parliament talked to me."
"An MP talked to me."

Here when pronouncing the m in `MP` the vowel sound for e is made, as in 'em'.
Reminds me of Popper’s idea that a democracy shouldn’t give it’s tools to those who seek to destroy it.

You forgot the part where they:

1. Take credit for your work.

2. Promise to research something and tell you that you can get more work done because they are "handling it" and then provide no information, so you are saddled with MORE work in addition to what you already had to do.

3. Give direction without understanding anything to feel important.

As you can see, there is some recent trauma here.

Even more so than that, “blue” is not even attempting to “guess” at reality. A more accurate statement is that the concept of “blue” is a useful abstraction for the goals of the vision system of your brain.
It's not just a matter of car-dependent living. Suburbs have been around since the 50s and yet, 20-30 years ago, we didn't live in this constant fear of danger lurking on every suburb sidewalk. Media (regular media and social media) amplification of every single tragedy that ever happens to anyone anywhere has created this culture of fear. When I was a kid, we walked or rode our bike to school, or to the ice cream shop, without everyone being up in arms about it. It's no more dangerous now than it was then -- in fact, it's probably safer -- but our perception of society as a dangerous place has grown tremendously. It's a horrible way to live. I want my kids to be smart street and not naive, but I don't want them to live in fear.

Your opinion is not the only one that I’m addressing. I clearly understand your point which I address by:

> What you’re really complaining about is creation of art from apparent randomness. Not the AI model alone but monkeys on a typewriter getting something compelling from the AI.

You accuse others of anthrpormorphisizing the tool but you do the same. Art created with Chat GPT is not created by Chat GPT. It is created by a human using a chat GPT. There is no intrinsic limitation on the profundity of art created using chat GPT or other algorithms.

It’s like complaining that paint is stupid. A comment that is largely irrelevant to the artistic merit of paintings.

I'm afraid fixing your country is up to you and your countrymen.
The fact of the matter is I'm not saying "don't use a professional". I'm against the very concept of how convoluted everything is in this world- and nearly everything is created in ways that benefit people who make up let's say the top 15% of earners.

I'm not oblivious to any of these things, I have an econ, accounting & M.S. finance degree. I have a CPA (never practiced).

And you know what? I see this shit all the time in my line of work. I've been lucky enough to do more of the technology/programming side of the industry I'm in so I don't kill myself on the meaningless garbage that the people I'm creating stuff for actually do.. but I see this shit all the time.

Structures or laws being set up constantly to avoid tax that your normal person has absolutely no way to use. Self employed people setting up S-Corps so they don't have to pay into social security because they will be rich enough they don't need it themselves so why pay into the system to help others. People in other countries setting up US structures so they can pay a lower tax rate here than their home country while they get to reap all the benefits. LLCs being set up in delaware so you don't have to pay state taxes when one could easily argue you operate there if anyone checked. People throwing money into dividend paying stocks just because of a low tax. Reducing long term capital gains to stupidly low tax levels.

I mean I can go on and on. Your average person GETS ALMOST NONE OF THESE BENEFITS.

I'm not saying all of the stuff is bad or not needed. But the vast majority is set up so people who already make way more than the average person don't have to pay their fair share.

So look- I'm more being general here. I'm not specifically talking about this case as much as I'm just bitching about how the world works. It just disgusts me at this point. What one calls "optimization", at this point in my life I call it taking advantage.

No. It's an allegory about housing costs and Georgism. The author has been advocating for Georgism for a while. (You might understandably not know that or the background, but also note the 'smart mixed use' shot, which would make no sense in a gun-control allegory, or describing advocates for land-value tax as a 'few cranks' - clearly not true of gun control advocacy, where that's practically the majority position - the shots at environmental review, willful denial of supply-and-demand, blaming it on people 'moving in', etc.)
