I never thought it was accurate to begin with, but maybe it's because I asked it questions like "Tell me the history of podcasting" and it had the dates and people involved all wrong. Had I asked it to tell me about the Punic wars I might have been more impressed but I don't need an Open AI bot to get up to speed on the battles of ancient history.

Confused why google isn't all over this double stat?

If their advert area develops a reputation for being bad & untrustworthy then their business model breaks on a pretty fundamental level.
All of what you say is true.

But it's even worse than that.

A persona won't even confer anonymity these days. So now you're dishonest and attributable.
Buying on Amazon now is like going to the casino. Sometimes I'll play but only if I'm content to take the risk and lose.
> probably involves at least some understanding of the status quo.

Oh man, you had me going with such a vivid metaphor. I was really hoping for a payoff in the end, but you abandoned it. The easy close would be "probably involves at least some understanding of the existing terrain" but I was optimistic for something less prosaic.

Generally I am more suspicious of public sector unions than private. The power of private sector unions is counterbalanced by the profit motive of the company; meanwhile governments are often perfectly happy wasting a fortune in taxpayer dollars.

Viability is a ridiculous standard. It makes no difference when an artificial womb nobody is offering might in theory be able to support a fetus if we are actually asking if one ought to make a woman offer her body. It's a worthless counterfactual related in no meaningful way to reality. Life is equally worthless mold is alive, the egg is alive, sperm is alive. The term "default alive" literally means less than nothing. It's just gluing words together in a way that has no meaning.

The baby's brain will triple in size during the third trimester including almost all of the development of the cerebral cortex features that are essential to being human or even being a mouse. It goes from something that as is is functionality incapable of being considered asleep or awake that doesn't posses the ability to drive even a mouse's experience to something that could aptly be said to be a sleeping human brain during this time. This is definitively when potential becomes reality.

The standard established by roe of between 24-28 weeks being set before this actuality is safe standard to balance rights of baby and mom to ensure we don't enslave actual humans to the needs of potential ones.
Relevant, contextualizing, comments is a textbook example of why the web sorely needs a broadly used third-party comment system. How many readers of that article on cnbc.com will never get this perspective?
>> The problem is not: how to quickly and cheaply create content which is marginally less mediocre and marginally more accurate than what we currently have

> this sounds like exactly the arms race that content creators are engaged in until it stops paying

I don't think they're trying to achieve these things at all. Look at the broken incentives you raised in the first part of your response, that's what this is about, and all this is about.

Content creators mostly don't care about how mediocre their output is, and they mostly don't care about how accurate it is either, as long as the clicks keep coming.

We don't need (and can't expect) ChatGPT to "fix" this, the underlying problem is the broken incentives, not the actual quality - or lack of it - in the content.
It also doesn't (seem to) take into account how prevalent credit cards as a method of payment have become - for whatever reason, most of the companies I owe money to would rather I let them debit my credit card each month (and pay CC transaction fees) than send me a bill and let me pay them with online bill pay. My credit card bill is astronomical every month, but that's because all my bills are on it, and I just pay the balance every month.
I don't think React Native is using WkWebView. But that the introduction of WkWebView which allows JIT was the source of my confusion. I was under the impression that JIT was enabled for any uses of JSC in iOS at that time. But it seems that is not the case.

So the situation with React Native is that you can either use JSC, Hermes (or I believe V8 in jitless mode). All of which are interpreters. On Android you can of course use JIT (with either JSC or V8).
The trouble is when you've been using your alternate persona, chatting with a stranger, and encounter someone who knows your real name that wants to say, "Hello."

> I can guarantee you that Google makes sure Gmail loads at least as fast in Chrome as in Firefox.

Why? I can imagine them working hard to make sure that Gmail loads fast in Chrome. The Gmail team probably suggests changes to the Chrome team and vice versa.

So long as Gmail is fast in Chrome, I can't imagine Google would be all that upset about Firefox or any other browser loading it faster. At most it would be an indicator that they need to make changes to stay competitive.
Well yes, but the gaming industry is all about exploiting psychological efficiencies to take your money. Big Tech (in its advertising/retail/OS forms) is all about exploiting psychological inefficiencies to help other people take your money, and then taking a cut of it.
I'm not claiming it's an equivalent experience.

I'm saying that burnout was my path to thinking differently about my relationship with work.

Burnout is a whole other beast, and recovery from it a whole other topic.
I think that's great if you're writing from scratch, but I think it misses the point that the previous poster was making.

Modern "pleasant" C++ is a subset of all of C++. In the realm of all C++, you can get into some REALLY bad code. That includes terse C.

I work in the NYC market, and have bounced between finance and tech. The quality of C++ at a tech company, even legacy code, is magnitudes better than the stuff in finance.
This reminds me a lot of the defcon 25 talk by xlogicx about assembly being too high level.

Docking would be nice to have too! like what MSVC or Qt has (built-in in Qt is not that great, but Visual Studio is one to follow). It's a must for content creators with multiple monitors, especially if they want the layout to be preseved from session to session or create different layouts (e.g. how and where the windows are, what is docked in which other, etc) for other people as templates.
What happened there in 2010?
The issue is generally that people are bad at timing the bottom, and often times it actually pays off to invest the same amount in dollars into the stock market, since you will buy as its going low and have more room for going back up.
I freely confess my ignorance, so thank you for that. If they will make a remote deal it might be time to dust off the ol' angle brackets.
"The market" is a bunch of people and computers all making their own guesses that may or may not agree with with the guesses expert analysts make.

If web sites have to so dynamic, I much prefer that the computation involved is done on their machine than on mine. I simply don't trust random web sites enough to let them run code on my machines.
My side project's tech stack is NixOS, Nginx, Rust and Xeact. It's a fairly popular blog that gets hundreds of thousands of hits per month (https://xeiaso.net). It's also got a hand-crafted CDN (XeDN) written in Go using net/http, tsnet and BoltDB running on fly.io.

On average it costs me $60 per month to run it in particular (Hetzner/AWS Route53/fly.io), but after ad and patreon income it actually earns me about $240 per month. I've been looking at minimizing the tech stack down some more to make it more cash-positive but moving everything on the Hetzner box to my homelab is logistically annoying. I'll get there some day.
Everyone has to avoid getting screwed until a pile of CC debt. While refusing to own one isn't my personal plan, I appreciate people like your mother. She sees the downside as >>>> the upside, and just swears off the entire thing.

Day to day, the only use of my credit card is just buying stuff online - so when my # gets stolen, my money isn't taken out of my bank account (like it would be if I used a debit).
As someone who is a fan of Common Lisp, this state of the world kind of grinds my gears. "Lisp isn't suitable for large teams because it's too customizable" while it takes me an order of magnitude more time and effort to come up to speed on a new C++ code-base (day job) compared to doing the same on a new CL code-base (hobby).

Some of it is tooling: It's trivial to walk through expansions of Lisp macros, while the tooling for C++ is ... less ergonomic to say the least.

Some of it is a weird combination of technical/cultural. You can do a lot more in Lisp without reaching for macros as compared to C++ and templates. In addition, every CL style guide ever says "don't use a macro when a function will do." There's also the culture of "Read *Let over Lambda" (a book on Lisp macrology), now don't ever do any of that unless you absolutely have to"
> Am-I the only one surprised the site still hasn't had a major (multi-hour) outage at this point?

Twitter has had at least one multi-hour global outage since Musk took over. This is in addition to at least one outage in Australia, plus outages of other critical services. The API outage happened before the after-the-fact announcement, login and 2FA outages kept people out of the app, etc.

For what it's worth, I cannot access Twitter right now, and DownDetector suggests I'm not alone, so we might be having another outage starting just now.
Just give it a try for 1 month and re-evaluate. It's stable and reliable.
I would say Go has minimal syntax, so yes there is a lack of syntactic sugar, but it also has a great stdlib. What is there is really well done and the tooling is fantastic
If I type 'goog', and the history result is google.com, then pressing tab should result in calling the search function in the tab with google as the search engine, and with the cursor in the box for the query.

It should not cycle through the drop down menu.
It is more about that fact that people talking about sustainable food production do not share many goals with commodity farmers exchanging corn and soybeans for as much cash as possible.
Human made objects will become more of a status symbol, and "content" will still be directed/produced/edited by humans, it's just the art/writing/acting/sets/lighting/etc that will be handled by AI. Humans will always serve as "discriminators" of model output because they're better at it (and more transparent) than a model.
That depends on what kind of controls though. Many apps will their own buttons, but most are using the native text input control (and often the native scroll for screens / screen transitions.
The "broadly used" part would ruin the entire concept.
I don't know about Rust but Go doesn't.

And probably never will. There are a bunch of projects but they are not very good or complete.

The problem is that "good" requires massive amounts of work that is beyond the capacity of single person / small team of volunteers i.e. typical open source project.

Which is why Flutter (and Electron) are the only reasonable technologies for desktop apps that I see today (and in the future).

They get majority of investment from other place: 99.99999% investment in Electron is investment in Chrome.

99% investment in Flutter Desktop is investment in Flutter Mobile.

Flutter Desktop and Electron will continue to benefit from massive investments in Chrome and Flutter Mobile. No other project building desktop UI can come anywhere close this level of investment.
Pay me $1MM/year, and I'll jump right back in that pool...

Edit: Oh, and let me stay on the West Coast.
Where does it show that the mobile app is in Flutter?
Will try.
> I'm not convinced that a plausible pseudonym is more privacy preserving than something that's obviously just made up.

I think that's true, but vibe I got from this was more about wanting anonymity and to avoid certain social frictions (and maybe not incur a trust penalty). An obvious pseudonym comes with certain costs.
They're focused on the language. The language isn't the problem. Of the people I've met in finance, there are some really strong and offputting trends: they're uniformly dismissive of work/life balance, they're almost uniformly the worst stereotype of tech-bro, and aside from the rampant cocaine use, they're hugely socially conservative, and every single one values profit over ethics.

It's not the language, it's the extremely toxic culture. Any programmer worth their salt can march into a nasty codebase of whatever language, and make it dance. But financial folk don't want to employ humans with all their complexity, they want robots who will run themselves into the ground for cash. So they get young men who burn out quickly and retire ASAP. The problem isn't the language. The problem isn't the pay. The problem is the extractive culture. Finance folks focus on short term profits to the detriment of their future. And now they're wondering "where can we find programmers" after they've been burning them like so many trees. Go figure.
Yep, like I said, I have very healthy expectations of how to maintain anonymity. Fortunately GPT will largely fix the issue of statistical analysis of variations in writing style between one writer and another. Stylometry been around a long time, as with all security, you have to know you threat model, and adjust accordingly. To my knowledge stylometry never made me less anonymous.
> Generally, companies are required to pay workers one-and-a-half times their hourly rate anytime they work more than 40 hours in a week. But there's an exemption for salaried managers, who receive the same amount of pay each week, as long as they earn above a certain minimum amount.

Somehow I feel the companies are not the problem here. That exemption is pretty ridiculous to have in the first place. Regardless of these "fake" managers, why don't "real" managers deserve OT pay?
That's fair and we've put some work into mitigating that risk. Our core runtime is open source, as are most of the apps for the Tidbyt.

We've also released hardware spec that folks have used to start writing their own open firmwares, which don't need to reach out to our servers or the Internet at all. That's something I'd like to contribute to and support more of (though with a tiny company, our resources are limited).
If the people running the platform are advertising a product that produces truths while delivering falsehoods and pathetically refusing to label their falsehoods as falsehoods, that's a lie.
That's an assertion of belief, not a statement of fact. You'd have to bring arguments why the interests of workers and owners are congruent (which they are not).
Is anyone asking Ilya Sutskever?
Right, when people say "Google’s single biggest money maker" they're talking about Adwords, which is usually accessed via the web, not a Android app called "Google Ads".
Twitter was selling ads to companies slashing their ad budgets, not products to consumers with a lot more screen time and a lot less access to stores or to businesses newly dependent on the internet to coordinate their newly remote workforce.
Ennui has been a historical problem for the wealthy (and the retired). If we make it so no one has to work to earn a living we still need to address the problem of ennui.

What I prefer, and what I think most people prefer, is a meaningful job that we enjoy doing. Sure, there will be times when the job sucks, but dealing with suckitude and adversity, if it isn't the majority of what you're doing, adds some positive feelings to life when after you've successfully dealt with it.

If we can all do this with hobbies that don't add to the common good, then okay, UBI FTW. I don't know that I could do this with the low income of a UBI though (biology is expensive, and needs others to implement parts of it).
why are you drinking 5 cups of decaffeinated coffee a day
>when it crosses into the real world like with shipping products it gets weird. Your mailman might think a stranger is living with you.

Not really a problem. A friend of mine used my address (with permission) when they were doing a lot of international travel. Mail (and packages) were never an issue.

These days you'd probably be advised to have some sort of burner phone.

In general, the closer you get to the physical world, the harder it is to maintain anonymity.
is Chrome recording keyboard inputs and passing them to YouTube?
Three times over the last month a striking coincidence.

I use Chrome as my browser. Google owns both Chrome and YouTube.

I can't remember the first two incidents any more, but they were on the same scale as the third incident.

The third incident: two days ago I asked ChatGPT to give me the 600 most important words in Spanish. Today, YouTube has recommended me a video titled "100 most important words in Spanish". In at least the last three months, I have not asked YouTube for a Spanish-language-learning related video.
Where did you get the distancie of 1 meter? It's very hard to get any data from the press.

I think you are right. Let's make some back of the envelope calculations.

The frontal surface of a person is 1m^2 approximately. The surface of a sphere of 1m is 4/3*pi*(1m)^2 ~= 4m^2. The silly proportion is 2msV/1m^2*4m^2 = 8mSv, but 1m is not far enough to assume the sphere is almost flat. Let's duplicate it to 16mSv (8 idiots can form a round at 1m, shoulder to shoulder and absorb almost all the radiation). May I round it to 20 mSv?

If someone put it in the pocket, s/he will get half of the radiation, that is 10mSv/hour. [Before you find more errors in my comment, I agree that it's more complicated. The front pockets of the pants are probably the worst area. Holding it in a closed hand would double the radiation. Anyway, if you have a more accurate calculation, it is welcome.]

A Chest CT scan is 7mSv and it takes like half an hour, but it's more evenly distributed.

My guess is that you can get some nasty radioactive burns as warned in the press article, but in a short time it's not lethal as clamed by the GP.
Apparently China is already tracking U.S. aircraft carriers via satellite: https://www.scmp.com/news/china/science/article/3177079/chin...

And sure, you need to wait for a clear day, but that doesn't seem like too big an obstacle. Also, while space-based platforms will be targets, it's unclear how effective counter measures are. Identifying targets is challenging and deploying replacements is worth the cost if you can eliminate a large portion of an adversary's naval power.
How does your employer pay you if they don't take money from anyone?
To see how we will react, just like the 9/11 hijackers took commercial flights while carrying box cutters in the months leading up to the date of the attack to verify that they could get through security repeatedly with the devices before they used them as planned. As for what a balloon can do that a satellite cannot... how about making a controlled descent once it gets into a designated geofence? Beyond that... it's up to anyone's imagination.

My second job, I agreed on a start date having forgotten that I had a week-long cruise booked for the very next week. It had been arranged a year or so before by a friend and just was not on my mind. So I started week 3 of that job with a -40 hour PTO balance.

Companies have a lot of flexibility in deciding how the accruals work. But, as you said, the important part is that when it accrues, at that point it's a legally-obligated right for you to either receive that time or be paid for it.
What if... GPT _is_ the CRUD? https://github.com/danthelion/gpt-crud
Sure but in the interim (while they're learning skills) you don't have as many as you want of nuclear reactor operators AKA a labor shortage.

Whether or not the real world has a true labor shortage or just a shortage for the current market price is not shown. i.e. if you offered more wages would some stay at home parents meet the demand?

How much do you think he made? Even if he got 20 years if he made $20 million it could still be worth it to him (assuming he was successful enough his wife probably doesn't know about all his assets anyways).

What is this an analogy for?

I have been working in IT for 20 years now, and perhaps I'm just jaded.

Throughout my entire career everyone has been talking about reducing complexity and increasing speed of development. But what has happened? The opposite.

At a place recently, having a bunch of microservices all connected over the network ("distributed monolith", mostly written in Java), for example, you now have to worry about turning your internal data structures into JSON, worry about deploying all these components separately, getting the development environment for each one set up on your computer, etc. You also have to worry about idempotence and retrying requests which fail due to network connections etc. Vs. just calling one Java function from another.

Who makes these decisions? The architects and senior engineers. What are their objectives, if we're truthful? Them getting payrises and not getting fired. What are the the things that might cause them to not get payrises or get fired? Juniors replacing them and driving salaries down, or new seniors coming onboard and them no longer being the "stars". Having an incredibly complex architecture, which only they know, benefits them. So if they benefit from complex architectures, and they also get to make the decisions about which architectures get used, we shouldn't be surprised that complex architectures get chosen.

People talk about simple architectures, but actually it was never really about creating simple architectures. The incentives are not set up in such a way that simple architectures would result.
Yep, I've bought the bottom a few times since March 2020 and I haven't found it yet.
Have you asked any Google property for anything Spanish related?
Coworker of mine is using Fyne (for Go). So far the one issue that was found was the use of OpenGL, which on certain video cards, on Windows, in a remote-desktop session may not work (it works if you have NVIDIA drivers for example), or if you force `mesa` software rendering on top.

These little details are usually not a concern, until they become a sudden requirement. Another one is Accessibility, which actually helps in other ways - you can automate UI test, or just automate things through it without relying (to a degree) on the kit's framework. In a way it serves to prove that the UI toolkit does diligent job of presenting it's widgets to a Reader.
