That's mostly not what the recipe sites do though, they're not writing a long-winded story where you need to read carefully to decipher the actual ingredients. They're giving you 500 words of unrelated bullshit and then the recipe. If I recall correctly there are already SaaS which run on ML models to extract the actual recipe from text, and you could use those to get the data.

Plus who really cares about individual recipes from randomblog.com, they rarely have anything new, just the 50000001 re-publishing of a traditional recipe.

They could, but their agenda fits white people better, for reasons that are evident to anyone with critical thinking skills. Hint: think about the dog-whistling some more.
Thank you. Lots of directions this could go - right now focusing on making it easy to get access to the data. Later we’ll figure out useful ways to interact with it.
We don't know that nothing happened. I'm guessing that whilst they reduced their costs by sacking staff they also lost a lot of ad revenue. They can paper over cracks for a while and still be imploding. It's notable that 'new' features have been about charging users or cutting costs, e.g. blue checks and less moderation

So, if I use `math/rand` the RNG will always output the same sequence of random numbers?

How do I make sure I'm passing a random seed to my RNG?

(I must be missing something here)
This feels like a bad faith comment. You could have commented on systemic issues with these corporations but instead you fixated on one example.
Ah yes, showers that have frigid, cold, and scalding settings, and not much in the way of warm.

This is is usually because the hot supply is under relatively less pressure, going through a tank and more pipes. So, nice and warm means hot is almost fully open and cold almost fully closed, to get an equal mix of both. Very little room to work with.

The right flow restrictor on the cold supply will make midway an even mix, and so more of the dial is useful. Very much worth the $10 the next time you have access to the plumbing.
yup, I got it backwards!
Your first take is a straight ad hominem instead of going counter-arguing then content itself.

> The standard way of declaring variables ahead of time is setting them to None.

I'm not sure this method is actually "standard". For many use cases there is an obvious "null" value of the desired type (for example, just set an int variable to 0), so there's no need to use None.

For use cases where you can't just initialize the variable to the "null" value of its type (because that value has some other meaning for your program), then the true type of the variable isn't just the type you're thinking (e.g., not just an int), because you need to be able to distinguish the variable having the "null" value from it not being set at all (the None case). And for that kind of use case, Python's type hints are correctly forcing you to declare that variable's type the way that reflects the actual situation.
What gaslighting? I never did curse. And I did not defend any country nor tarnish any group. What I did do is call out bias against a country and inappropriate behavior (cursing) in this forum.

I’m no authority on the subject of dispute. And I frankly don’t care on this topic to be an SJW. But I will not be ok with information bias against a country when the source belongs to a persecuted group.
The entire point of TFA is that this is a systemic issue, happening across the economy, across services.

I too feel like the person above you: my day is weighed down with doing tasks that either used to be part of what you were paying to get, and now have been outsourced to you (and lest we kid ourselves, the price didn't budge) or tasks which are effectively "hey, company, can you do your job?".

I'll reuse the example I used in an earlier thread along these same veins: my SO caught COVID. At the time, I only suspected it: so I ordered a test from Walgreens. This was done online, and the online flow told me: "we'll contact you when the order is ready for pickup". Great. Hours pass. I call in, and get the chatbot. I navigate its menus to "lookup order status", and input the information: "there is no order under that number" — fine, sure, lie to me. I try a few more things, and finally cave & ask for a human. Hold for 20 minutes for "we're experiencing above average call volume" (more lies) and we get a human: "oh, your insurance declined."

Like, okay Walgreens … let's say that's true: you decide to just blackhole my order, and gaslight me when I try to find it?

And further, now I have to get in contact with the insurance, since … they're not suppose to decline. Walgreens knows they're not supposed to decline, but instead of telling the insurer "that's some hot garbage", they foisted the job of getting the insurer to do their job onto me.

Nowhere, here, is anyone doing anything economically productive. The only person doing anything is me.

The test was paid for out of pocket.

It's an example, yes, but it's one I've been dealing with across companies, across the economy, for months? years?, has been getting worse, and is continuing to get worse. It no longer seems isolated to your usual bad actors like airlines who can't get planes from point A to point B to save their lives, it's everywhere.

Consumer protection laws, regulatory action, class actions (if we could! I.e.: more consumer protection laws…) is the systemic level fix to this nonsense.

Email: lm2725@caa.columbia.edu

My name is Laralyn. My background is in information and knowledge management, but my methodology focuses on users. Understanding a user base (expectations, goals, behaviors) is key to delivering products that are useful, usable, and engaging. My approach is a blend of quantitative and qualitative user research, working inclusively with cross-functional stakeholders, and testing the assumptions that inform business strategy.

I have 10+ years of experience leveraging data to identify target audience trends and produce actionable insights (e.g. designing attitudinal surveys, analyzing behavioral data, or using analytics to test a design hypothesis). I also have 10+ years of experience balancing and validating data-based insights with qualitative user research (e.g. facilitating user interviews and focus groups, leading workshops to understand users' mental model, or generating usability feedback through wireframe or prototype testing).

My experience spans roles in research, design, facilitation, product development, knowledge management, and content strategy. I've worked with startups and Fortune 500 companies in a range of industries; worked on a team of one and teams distributed across time zones. What's important at this point in my career is working with a collaborative team that values curiosity, transparency, rigor, and empathy for the user.

> Any plane at 500mph is tissue paper if it hits something.

Sure, but a commercially-sold 1:500 plastic model of the same plane crashing into a wall at 1mph won't be tissue paper.

Similarly, ants can lift 100 times their own weight and survive having 5000 times their own weight placed on top of them, but it's quite impossible to for a human-sized mammal to do the same.

> daily users of more than 2B, wow, growth of 5% yoy, that is good

eh, i always feel like this is dishonest for them. if a daily user is on whatsapp and they never see an ad, isn't that user just an expense for them? instagram users scrolling ads: revenue. facebook user scrolling ads: revenue. me talking to my family on whatsapp? unless they're benefiting from scanning the chat and delivering me ads on it (is this what they do? is it legal?) isn't it kind of like... they're paying the bandwidth/storage costs and getting very little out of it?

> on adds, from Bloomberg reporting "Ad impressions increased by 18% while average price per ad decreased by 16% for 2022."

is this left over from "apple's privacy changes made our ad targeting less effective so we need to display more, lower quality ads that are worth less to get as many conversions as we used to previouly"?

I'm sure that it will be different. Dubs guy hadn't given way for Patrick Bateman worship yet.

I don't think that it would be any less hateful, though. It's just that most of the hate was ironic early on...

There's just this weird thing about how if you perform a ritual ironically, you're still performing the ritual.
I think a personal subscription model where ChatGPT Plus subscribers are given personal API access for use with third-party open source apps (e.g., Chrome extensions, Siri Shortcuts, VSCode extensions) would be extremely valuable and much more lucrative than selling to specific companies.

OpenAI has the opportunity to become the next fundamental utility provider for society. In the same way everybody has a data plan to make their apps work, in the future everybody could have an OpenAI subscription to enable advanced capabilities across their apps. A system where individual companies pay for access makes many of the most incredible use-cases economically infeasible.

Future children will grow up oblivious to their AI subscription in the same way current children are oblivious to the ramifications of their internet subscriptions.

Living back in the ancient world of 2017. I think they still had CRTs back then.
"We're invading to defend the people against a brutal oppressor" is the argument always used. By Americans in WWII, by Russia today. Some of the worst war crimes and genocides in history have been committed systematically by the armies you've so far mentioned: Germany, America and Russia. These atrocities have been ordered from the highest leadership in these nations. Modern war is hell and there are no good guys left when it's over. If you believe that, they are recruiting volunteers.
Up 17% in AH, on top of huge gains over the past 2 months. Nuts. It looks like it really wants to get back to $300+ It shows how all this talk about metaverse losses was overblown. This is why my best piece of financial advice is to tune out the media. By the time something is a narrative, it's too late. If the media is talking about how Facebook peaked or is the next myspace, this is time to buy. Same for Netflix.

Metaverse notwithstanding, Facebook and Instagram are still huge cash cows. Ad CPCs are really high, especially mobile ads. Companies, especially in financial services and healthcare, paying so much $ for clicks to target older people, retirees, etc. and also people with medical problems. Obesity epidemic means more healthcare spending, same for people living longer.
Yeah it’s huge. Lots of small niche businesses in our area lost their route for finding new customers (General advertising too expensive for their market demo.).
> So, if I use `math/rand` the RNG will always output the same sequence of random numbers?

math/rand provides global functions using a global RNG, as well as the ability to instantiate your own RNG and call functions (methods) on that RNG.

Previously, the global functions all used a seed of 1, which made them generate identical sequences. Now, they use random seed, which makes them less-easily predictable (though still predictable).

There is no change to the self-instantiated RNGs.

> How do I make sure I'm passing a random seed to my RNG?

With the change, using the global functions in Go 1.20+ is the same as instantiating your own RNG with a random seed.

I think you have a big misunderstanding about how these models work. These models are just reproducing what it has seen before, and it has no information about the actual person unless they are famous enough to have lots of things written about them in the training data. It has no reasoning or ability to critically synthesize information, it just throws words around in a bag until it looks close enough to something it has seen before.

Even if you feed in new data about the person, it has no reasoning. For example, ask it to count the number of letters in a string of letters and numbers. It will fail more often than it succeeds. So you can ask it to classify people based on toxicity or fraud risk, and it will write you a report in the right genre that says yes or no with the appropriate level of detail. But it won't be connected to reality or represent actual risk.
Any low frequency sounds that can do this for hearing? Asking for a friend...
Can you see how '60s establishment types might think the same about people "hiding behind" peace and love gibberish to remain a cesspool of drug pushing, adulterous freeloaders, whose success in mainstreaming drugs and hostility to social institutions objectively coincided directly with an explosion in violent crime and social issues like single motherhood, drug addiction, rioting and urban decay, all of which rose to unprecedented levels from 1965-1975 in every Western country that experienced a similar "counterculture"?

That's not to make any judgement on the societal value of 4Chan vs. the 1960s counterculture. It's just that neither is/was a uniform group that can be defined as "rooted in X, Y, or Z," and people who claim they can are typically blind to the bias of their cultural perspective.
The flying rat thing is a misunderstanding. Wherever you have pigeon overpopulation, you have crazy people. Feeding the birds is a behavior that some people down down a rabbit hole.

Pigeon lives consist of eating and reproducing in that order. If you see massive squadrons of pigeons, some lunatic is dumping bags of seed every week within a few hundred yards of where you see them.
Thank you Guillermo. One thing I am still curious about is, is there still a difference between serverside rendering and static site generation for things such as next/image, next/font, etc? Last time I tried SSG, next/image was not supported, but I could use a third party tool to optimize my images correctly, so I didn't understand why next/image couldn't do the same optimization at build time without relying on a CDN as in the case of SSR.
I just had that conversation yesterday. The only pictures of me that exist are in relation to my current employer, and only because they post headshots of all new execs in the local paper (small towns are weird like that).

Otherwise, I flat do not exist online.

People are ASTOUNDED when I ask them to crop me out, or to ask my permission before posting with me in it. I'm always polite, but people act like I asked them to lick the bottom of my foot.

It's very strange.
what's the main reason for this?

BEN: Ohh! What wouldn't I give to be spat at in the face! I sometimes hang awake at night dreaming of being spat at in the face.

BRIAN: Well, it's not exactly friendly, is it? They had me in manacles!

BEN: Manacles! Ooh oooh oh oh. My idea of heaven is to be allowed to be put in manacles... just for a few hours. They must think the sun shines out o' your arse, sonny.

BRIAN: Oh, lay off me. I've had a hard time!

BEN: You've had a hard time?! I've been here five years! They only hung me the right way up yesterday! So, don't you come 'rou--

BRIAN: All right. All right.

BEN: They must think you're Lord God Almighty.

BEN: Now, take my case. They hung me up here five years ago. Every night, they take me down for twenty minutes, then they hang me up again, which I regard as very fair, in view of what I done, and, if nothing else, it's taught me to respect the Romans, and it's taught me... that you'll never get anywhere in this life, unless you're prepared to do a fair day's work for a fair day's pay!

Self service is one thing.

But I'm seeing a lot of big corpo were paid $X for service S, and it was never rendered. Customer wants their money back, corporation doesn't want to give it.

In any other context, we'd call that "highway robbery", but for some reason for corporations, its fine. The article gives an example of it: ordered a coffee, it never came, no refund.

Regulatory agencies need to bring the ban hammer down on this, or forced arb. needs to be outlawed so that the people can class action it, or both.
It's especially bad when "something went wrong" style error messages appear and it becomes your responsibility to waste time with support staff who aren't given the ability to actually resolve or even see the error. In many cases piles of support tickets are unresolved for years, even though they are marked closed for KPI reasons, with the same unexplainable malfunctions persisting for some percentage of the customer base. In an ideal world, support would be proactive and any errors that occur immediately set off alarm bells that would then have people already working on the problem.
