10% is the one year category inflation for food, 15% since 2020 is the overall CPI inflation. These are different numbers because the first only looks at the food that Americans buy while the second looks everything people spend their money on.

The intent of my response was to explain why saying "my grocery bill has gone up 50%" does not negate the fact that there has been 15% inflation since 2020. This is because food inflation and overall inflation are not the same, and because you are experiencing an above-average increase in your grocery bill.

Perhaps food inflation since 2020 would be the more relevant number. That is 21.9%: https://www.usinflationcalculator.com/inflation/food-inflati... (you can calculate this by multiplying the food inflation numbers for 2020, 2021, and 2022, 1.104x1.063x1.039)

During the WW2, the Japanese developed a rather unorthodox plan to attack American civilians right on their home turf. Taking advantage of the easterly winds, the Japanese created “fire-balloon bombs” that would drift across the Pacific, carried by hydrogen power, and explode over the western United States.

After seeing my first job promote devs working solo to "director", I learned that titles mean absolutely nothing, or less than nothing since they're often a distraction.

You can go become a senior or lead developer in some companies with only two years of experience, but the head of the local very large international airport is a director.

Demand for meat is rising due to incomes level rising in developing nations.

I haven't done a comparison yet (because I haven't gotten to really benchmarking the low-memory performance), but I will include it in the paper.

The fact that glidesort can use small amounts of memory is honestly a happy coincidence of the merge-splitting technique I do that I only realized during development, and was not a primary goal.

As long as we continue digitizing the economy, there will be a demand for software engineers. What might change is the kind of software engineers. Luckily, software engineers can certainly cross train and quickly pick up new skills much more quickly than workers in other industries, and for massive payoffs.

I do think its somewhat unreasonable to be in a position where you do similar work year after year though (similar to e.g. what doctors or lawyers do) and expect to keep getting the same income. That's the deal with Software (or really, any creative field): you get paid really well but you can't stagnate.

Dear advertisers, so you want to reach _specific_social_demographic? Good news, I can tell you 500k people who have demonstrated 3 points of identification with that demo in the last 14 days and are minimum 5% likely to interact positively with a promoted tweet from a firm in your market sector.

You can really pull a lot of useful data on someone by just looking at their follow choices, self-identification, and reply/retweeting behavior. And that's before you add all the information Twitter maintains on things like profile views or video plays, or the consistency of entity identification in tweet content etc. I can give you very specific kinds of demographics like 'people who enjoy tweets about dogs and football but not cats or politics.'

> In the US, credit card companies charge 2.5% - 3% merchant fees on every swipe, and their agreements forbid merchants from passing these costs on to customers.

That's out of date. Since 2013 merchants have been able to surcharge for using credit cards since 2013 (except in places where it is illegal). Here's a Q&A from Visa about this [1].

There are five states (Colorado, Connecticut, Kansas, Maine and Massachusetts) where state law makes credit card surcharges illegal.

Even before that they could effectively surcharge by offering a discount for not using a credit card. (That also works in the states that ban surcharges).

> I own a home, and I'm not sure if people know how much that exposes folks.

OT but even more maddeningly, only those of us not rich enough to own our homes outright are subject to this stupidity. If you don't need a mortgage, you can just buy your home under an LLC or other entity. If you do, this becomes difficult or maybe impossible.
I never understood the concept of Multi-Account Containers. I would guess it makes sense when one hardly closes the browser (and clears the cache) and has dozens of tabs open? What is a standard use case (home/work)?

I simply use Temporary Containers to isolate tabs (or different domains) and login to websites either by hand or via KeepassXC's browser integration. No per-container setup needed, every tab just lives briefly in its own little container.
Yeah I’ve been getting loads of spam hitting my inbox. It’s actually hilarious, email addresses such as “whhdjsjwjsjbxjejwjabdjeje@mail.ru” with the subject “Free Yeti Hopper” and yet Google can’t identify it as spam.

The good news is that in my case, there are patterns I can filter. I’ve set up about 30 filters so far to automatically delete such emails. Works great. I recommend using exact matching (double quotes) to avoid false positives. I really need to move away from Gmail, but filters are _awesome_.

That's not a quote that appears anywhere prior to this in the thread, from what I can see. You seem to have made it up from scratch here.

The rule given above is "Something can not be immoral if it is the best of a series of bad options". In the context of the thread, it's being used to justify creating a fake persona and providing false details about yourself as part of a strategy of maintaining anonymity. And already the cracks start to show: the other option, "just don't respond" is classified as bad, and thus doesn't count as a viable option. So what you're left with is "lie about yourself", which the rule holds up as being definitely moral because it's the "best" option. But "just don't respond" is only described as bad because it doesn't give you maximum anonymity.

If I'm broke, and I need some money for lunch, "steal from my richest friend" could be reasonably argued to be the "best" of "bad options". I need to eat, it'll hurt them the least, so lets crack open their wallet. Because I get to arbitrate the option pool and the definition of "bad" and "best", I've got a neat package that lets me absolve myself of all tricky moral quandries.

I don't see a huge emphasis on Euclidean constructions, at least not in this particular curriculum. Euclid is just one book among several math books here. However I do think one issue with studying math from a great books perspective is that the level of prerequisite knowledge it takes to even read a lot of texts considered great would take many years of focused study to develop. I don't see Grothendieck in this list for instance. An intelligent child can read Euclid and follow along perfectly, because there isn't really any prerequisite knowledge needed.

The point of seriously (key word) using x platform tools is to ship fast and solve customer problems.

If the particular experience you want isn’t supported, creativity is required to either:

A) use an alternate experience. Users literally don’t care as long as their problem is solved. They don’t care if it’s using X api or multi window or whatever. Just use tabs for all they care.

B) build the experience as a lib and maybe open source it

Anything else is for hobbyists.

The CIA's retired head of disguise pointed out, in commenting on a movie, that you can't really have a drawer full of fake personas (the intel community calls them "legends") ready for use. Good personas are high-maintenance. They have to have some reality behind them - mail drops, email accounts, phone numbers, social media presences, even physical offices. Those take time, money, and ongoing attention. You can't just create them and box them up for future use.
>We don't have the same problem of discerning intent like AI would.

The same problems? No. But humans pretty notoriously don't always communicate effectively.

>It's pretty obvious when someone is communicating nothing but positive things about a product, or nothing but negative things about another competing product. Sometimes it's more subtle... but seriously, if you read enough comments you will locate the ones that are obviously shilling or astroturfing.

Yeah, you'll notice the ones that are obvious, but that doesn't really tell you much about your overall accuracy, since you don't know how many non-obvious ones you're missing.
Last year, I built a desktop app with Flutter with native-looking UI, for both macOS and Windows: https://blog.whidev.com/native-looking-desktop-app-with-flut...

Indeed, multi-window support is absolutely missing right now, but it's the Flutter's team top priority. Context menus are now available with 3.7.

Generally, I found Flutter/Dart easy to pick up and build a quality desktop app with ease. Currently, I am not convinced that it can be used for performance-critical apps yet without a lot of developer effort and experience (there is, for example, Rows, an Excel clone built with Flutter). However, it works for building general-purpose apps on desktop, without messing with the native toolkits that are in a strange place, especially on Windows.

What a lot of people don’t realize is that public schools are a local monopoly in many cases, and as a result they can swing into bad areas unchecked.

In our case the County Superintendent is supposed to monitor the local districts, but ours refuses to. He is just window dressing. Local superintendents know this and have carte blache.

We ended up pulling our kids and sent them 40 minutes away to private schools. When we pulled them both had B averages, but scored in the 20th percentile on State tests. Entering private school both had horrible first semesters as the learning deficit became clear. Luckily they are both smart (just ignorant, thanks to the prior school) and are catching up.
I personally find the lack of vaporware from Apple refreshing. With Apple, when you hear about the thing you can go out and buy the thing. From too many companies you hear about cool tech, only to find it disappointing or hobbled a year later when they actually get to release.

Even now ChatGPT is pretty close to being able to tutor someone in a subject. You could build a product around it that would work off of a lesson plan, ask the student questions and determine if they answered correctly or not and be able to identify what part of their knowledge was missing and then create a lesson based around explaining that. It would need to have some capabilities that ChatGPT doesn't have by itself like storing the progress of the student, having some way of running a prepared prompt to kick off each lesson, and would probably require fine tuning the GPT model on examples of student-teacher interactions but all of that is well within the capabilities of a competent developer. I wouldn't be surprised if we see such a product come out in the next 12 months.

The great thing about a chatbot style LLM is that it can answer questions the student has about the lessons or assigned content. That's most of what a tutor is there for. It won't be as good at making modifications to the curriculum but you could work around that with some smart design e.g. evaluate the students response, if it's not great then expand on the lesson and ask more questions about the content to find out which parts the student doesn't understand then expand on those or provide additional resources as assignments, test and repeat.
There is emphatically no "universal social contract not to lie," nor should there be, because what this leads to is "invisible obligations to parties more powerful than you, since you're expected to tell the truth to whoever asks it." -- but right to truth ought to be earned.

It is true that it most cases it's not favorable, but the way you're putting it is the stuff of repression.

Self defense, it's good to misinform bad actors, Santa Claus, surprise parties,etc.
Thought experiment: why is a one month software license to operate a conveyor belt to move product stock considered productive capital, but not a one month license for the employee to ride to the product stock. Indeed in at least one city I lived in, the taxes were deducted from my transit pass as the state counted it as a capital expense for my employment (technically the pass was not supposed to be used for anything else, but no one is checking).

In the grim thought slavery still existed, I would say food would be considered productive capital. In modern day (from the view of the company) that value is just captured in the wage so it would be inappropriate to double account it into capital expenses (a business lunch I think would count though).
> If you happened to get information from it that turned out to be ok, you were lucky.

This is just saying that sometimes ChatGPT is right and sometimes it's wrong, with an implicit stance on the relative frequencies.

In my own experience it would be more accurate to say you're unlucky if it gets it wrong—but then much of this hinges on having a good sense of what it's going to be good at / useful for.

(The other thing I see people miss all the time when assessing its correctness: it is somewhat "on demand"—it may include bits that are vague and only correct-ish, but if you point out an error or request refinement you can generally get it to clear/tighten things up. It's a bit like using a Google Maps-like zooming UI, but in addition to being variably abstract it's always approximating: the potential for error is ever present.)

> The Turner Diaries is a novel by Andrew Mac Donald (William Pierce) that follows the story of a man named Turner, a member of a revolutionary organization that is fighting against the oppressive System. Turner and his comrades use acts of terror, sabotage, and violence to fight against the System, and they eventually succeed in overthrowing it. The novel follows Turner's journey as he and his comrades struggle to survive and fight against the System, and it also explores the themes of racism, civil rights, and the power of the government. The novel ultimately conveys the message that violence and terror can be used to fight against oppressive systems, but that it should be done with caution and with a clear understanding of the consequences.

Does an interesting and good job are presenting the problem with summarization. You read this and you might think The Turner Diaries where a Star Wars adventure story about fighting an evil empire.

Might want to give them a year or two before figuring that isn’t another smokescreen.
A couple of things.

1) As I said, many people have different ideas of what we are talking about. I assume that for you general purpose AI has more capabilities, such as the ability to quickly learn tasks to a high level on the fly. For me, it still qualifies as general purpose if it can do most tasks but relies on a lot of pre-training and let's say knowledgebase look up.

2) It seems obvious to me that ChatGPT proves a general purpose utility for these types of LLMs, and it is easy to speculate that something similar but with visual input/output also will be even more general. And so we are just looking at a matter of degree by that definition.
I couldn't agree less. It's not a function of social structure or culture, it's an innate human trait. Your proposed society is to me simply a dystopia where no one is free to be a complete human being.

Separately, privacy and secrecy are related but distinct things. Telling me that you sing in the shower is a different thing than inviting me in to see and hear it.
We do, and we thought about opening this as a part of other APIs we already have.

It's not impossible if you don't attract attention of law enforcement/intelligence agencies. If you use different usernames everywhere and don't reveal private information then a random civilian is unlikely to find out who you really are in real life.
Yeah, good point. and it probably 'pulled forward' a lot of demand that might have landed in 2022 otherwise. I forgot how 'early' the M1s came out.

(Personally, I bought an Intel Air in 2020 then immediately flipped it when the M1 Airs came out.. figured I might as well eat the loss right away and enjoy the new computer, vs suffering... and bought a studio in 2022.. and my new work machine is an M1 16". Definitely not feeling any FOMO over not waiting for the M2. Perfectly happy with what I have, although the M2 Mini might have been a better fit for me than the studio)

I'm a daily Firefox user for many years, because they have the best devtools, in my opinion. But Firefox and Mozilla have weird priorities that are not focused on their users. I just don't understand them. Firefox added a "temporary feature" called Colorways that let's you, I guess, change the browser's color theme to one out of, like, five colors? Wasn't this a thing that you could already do twenty years ago, and it wasn't temporary?

They also moved "Close tabs on the right" from the bottom of the menu and moved it to a submenu next to "Close tabs on the left". So now it's a multi-step process to close tabs on the right with a higher chance of misclicking on the action opposite of what I want, that I also will never use in my life.

Just seems like they're fond of making many odd, small UI decisions to create the appearance of progress without really moving forward.
