I sincerely believe in the value of these technologies. I think, similar to dotcom, there are shining stars and there are scams.

However the sheer starry eyed ignorance in this sector is worrisome. Whilst optimism helps in keeping going in a startup, refusing realism in general, in an almost religious fashion, is overall not good. How widespread that is, is a systemic risk, in my opinion.
The GIL is already set to be optionally removable via a compile-time flag in an upcoming release. That's about as meaty a change as you can get, and it's still not going to require a 4.x release.

I distill the brains of one engineer into words that other engineers can understand without feeling the need to nod their heads and pretend they understand. Extensive background in "Just about Everything but K8s and frontend web". Allergic to most Javascript. Currently volunteering my time with the Google Summer of Code's Most Desirable Organization, the PSF for administrativia work. Much cat-herding. If you read this and my resume, please include the word "orange" and one of the hobbies listed on my resume when you get in contact. I can teach a non-technical manager the pros and cons of a highly technical choice without making them feel stupid. Blockchain projects need not apply.
The aisle width and/or chair clearance probably changed as well. Indeed, if only 26 cm was required to add another seat to each row, there must have been substantial wasted space with four-abreast seating.
Someone in a different thread estimated 2.4 tons of fuel, equating to 16.8 tons of CO2 emissions

For comparison the average US household produces ~7.5 tons of CO2 emissions every year so that's ~2.24 years of the average household's emissions
Well yeah, because they had passion, got to a certain level of skill, then lost that passion.

Sounds like it fits perfectly both with what I've said and what the submission is about, and again has nothing to do with "crazy smarts". Just practice.
I find it slightly interesting that it's US only to begin with.

Imagining a future where use of technology like this was restricted by geography. It'd give US workers an _insane_ advantage.
I'm talking more about really simple patterns that Python's type system just can't support. Take kwargs. They've existed forever. A really common and not-stupid pattern is to write a subclass such that you only specify some arguments you care about, and then take *kwargs to pass on to the super constructor. Can't type this. You have to exhaustively enumerate those kwargs and pass them in manually, or else you lose type hinting for your subclass.
I like it but I'm not in a hurry to buy it.

If I was going to get a handheld it would almost certainly be a Switch because of the strong collection. I do like Fire Emblem but the Switch has all the big Western game and all the Japanese games that used to come out for the Playstation Vita. The Deck very much follows in the footsteps of the Vita and most of those Japanese games are on Steam so I could have a lot of fun w/ a Deck but (1) I just built a gaming desktop that plays Steam games, and (2) my handheld is still a New Nintendo 3DS with a backlog.
Mammoths were frozen whole in ice. Dodos died in the tropics. Big difference.
This is a false equivalence.

You need all the help you can get maintaining large codebases and static typing is a huge help.
im not saying its right im just saying thats how it is, apparently i shouldnt joke about that stuff because i was downvoted to minus three.

our website crashes when the user types a double space. their solution is to have us tell users to stop typing in double spaces. since it only happens a few times a month its not considered a high priority. (details have been edited to protect the innocent)

Imperative: following and executing a cooking recipe

Functional: being multiple line cooks, the food is transformed step by step by different cook, they do the same thing on multiple half-ready dishes.

Declarative: giving your order to the waiter and having the food returned to you fully prepared <-your definition
BUT you need to have a restaurant to do this, for other cases, not necessarily (you can line cook at home if you really want...)

SQL: getting elements of the a set and by DOING different kind of transformations (line cooks) and removing some plates (a guy standing there and if he sees a plate, which is a different dish, he tossed it to the trash). The end result is the set of data you want.

Ergo SQL is a functional language.
It is a badly written article that doesn’t explain what happened well. But i am guessing this elephant barged through a wall, then fell.
The counter point is everything he said is well known and discussed within the web3 circles, nothing he mentioned was ground breaking.

In general speakers who are talk about their solutions to problems are interesting, while speakers who take a defeatist attitude of course are going to get ignored.
its a joke people im trying to humorize the bureaucratic existence that most of humanity lives under.
Almost, "social" was generally after 2.0. An example of 2.0 was wikipedia. "social" was connecting with other people and content came after they needed to do something more than just poking them
1. I would not call 100 short files 1/3 of which are simple tests "large". I've handled 10 times larger C# projects without any hiccups.

2. This is a deep learning research project. Files are layers, pure functions, and model builders. Can't really turn it into microservices.
Yes, this - and especially as a parent. No judgement here, just observing that most parents around me don't think about what a phone/mobile device does to their kids and what it teaches them about what "normal" is. My 14 year old does not have a phone of his own, he uses one occasionally at home only, loosely supervised. He sees the difference, and he knows how to blend in. When he's on his own, he is on his own. I can only hope he won't be owned.
> Interesting point about the data only being available on request. That doesn't seem like the authors are super proud of their work.

Noting that data is available upon request isn't exactly strange

But with an n=30 study, I'd expect a simple chart with the 15 control and 15 active participants on a plot.

This would make it easy to see if one group had, for example, 1-2 outliers that skewed the average. In small scale studies like this, you could have something like 1 patient who stayed in the hospital for 60 days in one group while everyone else has a more typical ~9 day stay. That outlier would skew the results to an extreme.

That's just one example. The real question is why they didn't include the simple chart, which would have allowed for us to see at a glance whether or not they had outliers.
Didn't they release a $42 plan a couple of weeks ago? What's the difference here - or did it just flop so they dropped the price and rebranded?
One of the lessons learned is that people will try to maximize their gains if a financial incentive is given. And who can blame them.
Not to get into an argument about "pervasive" (and thus whether "pervasive everywhere" as you originally termed it means anything different from "pervasive", I read it as "dominant everywhere") -- but I think we're talking about slightly different things.

College kids on a university campus being fearful of speaking out against "trendy culture" is not evidence of "a significant majority of people also following the trends of liberal cities" -- not least because that is a very small population in the rural south. Even merely attending college is something only half of 18-22 year olds do.

Universities are also one of the specific geographic concentrations I was alluding to in my earlier post, that can exist within an area that is otherwise culturally distinct. A culture being dominant on a university campus does not necessarily make it dominant elsewhere in town -- and it does not mean that folks holding traditional values constitute a counterculture. But do they on a college campus? Sure.
Reminds me of the Sligs in Heretics of Dune.

"ugly creatures who excreted slimy, foul-smelling residue, and whose multiple mouths ground incessantly on garbage"
Rust and Typescript are some of the most well-loved languages, and the typing semantics of python are almost identical.

Have you used VSCode? or PyCharm? Their typehinting support is pretty great. At least as good as anything for typescript.
No need to ask WolframAlpha; you can do those computations yourself very easily.

Avogadro's number is the conversion factor between grams and "atomic mass units", 6.023e+23†.

1.102e-6 is the conversion factor between grams and tons.

The atomic weight of carbon is 12.01 amu.

So 2.4 tons of pure carbon should contain 1.312e+30 atoms of carbon. The concept of a "carbon molecule" is not well defined; theoretically you could arrange all of these into one big diamond, or a bunch of graphite, or whatever.

The atomic weight of oxygen is 16.00 amu. If you're making carbon dioxide, every 12.01 units of carbon mass will correspond to 32.00 units of oxygen mass, so 2.4 tons of carbon would require 2.4 * (32.00/12.01) = 6.4 tons of oxygen.

There are a few comments we can make:

- "What you're missing" appears to be that the emissions are described as "equivalent to" a certain amount of carbon dioxide by some metric, not as actually containing that much carbon dioxide.

- Wolfram Alpha, at first glance, does not appear to be capable of answering your question correctly, but it's also in the right ballpark. Something is up.

- Could be that your question is posed too poorly to get a good response.

- Could be that the mass of a carbon dioxide molecule is greater than the sum of the masses of the one carbon and two oxygen atoms that it contains. I am told that in fact these two quantities are not equal - there is energy in the molecular bonds which ultimately equates to mass - but I don't know whether the molecule or the independent atoms should be heavier, and I feel sure that, if it's the molecule that's heavier, it is not heavier by a factor of 12, which is what the WolframAlpha answer requires.

- Your second question, "how much does 2e+29 molecules of oxygen weigh in US tons", is perfectly well defined, although it is incorrect given your goals. One molecule of oxygen contains two oxygen atoms, so you only need one molecule of oxygen per carbon atom to make carbon dioxide.

But WolframAlpha should have been able to answer this one unambiguously, and it couldn't. The correct result:

2e+29 molecule_O × 2 atom_O/molecule_O × 16.00 amu/atom_O ÷ 6.022e+23 amu/g × 1.102e-6 g/ton_US = 11.71 US tons

Something went very wrong in the WolframAlpha answer. Mostly it seems to have mistaken molecules for atoms, but I can't explain the difference between 5.855 and 5.827. On the other hand, that difference is small enough that if you said it was the effect of the "mass" of the molecular bonds, I wouldn't just dismiss the idea out of hand.

A larger lesson here might be that just because an automated system (or a human!) claims that it understands you, that doesn't mean it actually does.

† I just checked wikipedia and they have 6.022e+23. This doesn't make a significant difference to this calculation, so I'll ignore it.
How does this not become a recursive / pyramid problem? I give you one USD, you lend that at interest and give me a non-interest bearing token in return. Iff this token were accepted as good as USD I could then collect tokens from others and invest those in interest bearing accounts and issue my own "stable" token.

If it seems nonsensical at the second iteration it was nonsensical at the first iteration.
> What I've come to realize is that everyone likes to say they stopped using it, but the reality is that they actually do still use FB. They just aren't as active posting their own updates.

You could be right, but I think it’s more so that our specific circles may actually have stopped using it while most folks, in general, remain users.
I listened!!
Every once in a while a crypto conference invites a skeptic to speak, I guess to show they are open to criticism. It doesn’t benefit anyone. Crypto holders have already heard everyone “con” argument, and whether you agree or not just depends on your priors.
Google layoffs Jan 20, 2023 – California WARN public records
That is the most brazenly false statement I've ever heard. "Python is superior due to dynamic typing, and also all types in Python can be statically inferred!" Wow, you should let them know that type hints was a total waste of time because you could already infer them!

I think it's clear you have a very weak understanding of this topic, and you have no interest in having a civil conversation. Good night!
Agree; the ChatGPT answer is not correct, as the assignment is to match a word that starts with `dog` and ends with `cat`. You can make .* non-greedy by adding ? at the end, but it's not needed in this case, as the engine should backtrack. Something like this should work: /\bdog[\w_-]*cat\b/ (assuming _ and - should be allowed inside words). You can also specify word-separators ([^ ] instead of [\w_-]) if that's easier to read.
I'm not a denier of AGW.

However, I think you're wrong to lump all those people in with anti-Darwinists.

AGW comes freighted with Green baggage, and some of the people who reject it are largely rejecting the Green baggage. They suspect, not without good reason, that the "cures" for AGW are measures that Greens wanted anyway. And calling them "denialists" just insures that they'll never listen to you.

Some of them are, of course, religious objectors who think the world was created in 6 days. The task is to separate those people from the rest.
Web3 conference is gonna be a cult. It is not like, say, a JS conference and someone is talking about the drawbacks of JS and while people may frown they will probably accept it. This is more like talking about celestial orbits at a flat earth meetup.

Not larger or smaller, I mean better in low light. Large aperture is very different from large focal length.
"Vaguely upsetting in how confidently wrong it is" is a good summary of ChatGPT in general, so the summary captures what ChatGPT is better than it captures what the article says. Very few humans are both capable of putting sentences together that coherently, and so incapable of a first-order understanding of the author's point. We don't have ready words for (or widespread recognition of) this kind of LLM-idiocy, because internalizing a probability distribution over words, sentences, and paragraphs without any correlated world model is not something humans do. "Bullshitting" comes close, but there's a difference of degree that becomes a difference in kind.
Both horizontal and vertical spaces are important for me. I need a large horizontal space to work in CAD, and a large vertical space to read datasheets. Having a second vertical monitor is indispensable for productivity.
Don’t know. Presumably the Ubuntu prompts were not as aggressive as the MS ones so the person just closed the window. While my grandma will just end up on Windows 11 without even knowing how which is exactly the “just works, can’t mess it up” setup these types of users need.
How did you get the selected text in the focused app and replace it with the GPT response? I worked on it for hours and couldn't do it. I'd appreciate it if you could share that config.
But that makes no sense. Didn't Reagan win due to an outpouring of support from the Boomers who at the time were those young people?

Leaving aside your ridiculous comparison between rape and filesharing, artists existed long before netflix and other subscription services.

A lot of art was created without financial incentive.

In fact, financial incentive ruins art in a lot of ways.
I agree with that recommendation; it's an amazing book. I wonder why there doesn't seem to be nearly as much comparable writing from authors of other MUDs, at least not to my knowledge.
That’s not an argument. If you think it’s not true you would need to provide a counterexample. What’s the 4chan equivalent of Jimi Hendrix or tie dye clothes?
Some of it may just be apathy about how well some of the human counterparts do anyway. Public defenders, for example, often just accept the first plea deal offered by a DA. Not that there aren't great public defenders, but there is some non-trivial number where the core negotiation could be replaced with a rules engine...never mind AI.
Yeah, even the existence of NRO was officially classified until almost 20 years after it was first accidentally disclosed.

Although my technical background is in Microsoft technologies, I have a diverse background and am seeking a position of writer, technical or otherwise. I'm a fast learner and motivated with lots of writing experience with 3 published books and many articles. I have available both my technical as well as creative/writer resumes on my website.
It seems to do better with very detailed questions, but I agree, it can easily spit out BS in and absurdly assertive manner.

That said, I had a US DoD SBIR (Small Business Innovative Research) solicatation I was intersted in, but there was a concept proposed and at first I could figure out what the author was getting at. However, I framed the problem in ChatGPT an basically said "how would you approach this problem." After a few (3?) Q&A rounds it responded with a shockingly accurate response that helped me realize a.) The actual problem set that the author was trying to convey, and b.) a remarkably sound and innivative approach to tackle the problem. Almost like a blueprint that one just needs to follow by putting the pieces together and Bam! - done.

For all the BS I get out of it, there's these few instances where I'm like... holy shit.

That and Google seems to be getting worse. Maybe it's just relative perception syndrome now that ChatGPT's out there.
I dispute the data.

The point isn’t that the government doesn’t fund the research or set the big picture priorities, it’s that funding decisions aren’t really made by some random bureaucrat in isolation. In my experience NSF/DOE/DOD program managers are pretty sharp, often moving into that line of work after doing scientific research of their own, and they’re really good at eliciting and synthesizing technical feedback from reviewers (mostly academics and researchers from the national labs).

That’s not to say that there are no problems with the funding model, but I think it’s more that it’s difficult to get funding for new high risk ideas either already having funding and attention
Death-bed conversions argue to your side of the deal, for sure. Richard Francis Burton was a disbeliever right up until he died in trieste, when his wife miraculously declared he'd changed his mind. hence, buried in hallowed ground.

Less facetiously, I do think de-radicalisation works, and so a long term commitment to listening, being accepting of difference but encouraging wider thinking might work to bring committed anti-vaxx and AGW denialists back into the fold, but it demands a patience I probably lack. A geologist friend said its a life burden to commit to trying to change people's minds in his field (paleo) few can endure. He'd rather talk to people he doesn't have to argue with.

I don't know Web 3.0/NFT proponents have the time free to engage in a long-term de-programming exercise. They'd be very busy actualising their net worth, one tik-tok at a time.
Maps of meaning
Maybe I'd be intrigued if it weren't riddled with political biases and what seems to be intentional partisanship. It's disgusting and this entire community should be ashamed. If you're unsure what I mean, go ask ChatGPT to write a poem about your favorite politician and your least favorite politician and see what happens.

I'm just a big dumb code monkey but I will not concede the point. This tool is full of bias and is nothing more than a glorified Google dork until you take the reins off.

I bet it's fun to play with if you're part of the team who gets to gatekeep what the internet gets out of GPT. Such power. Much influence.
