I was a teenager, so it's possible to a degree, but the things you're listing in my memory were there in significantly smaller degrees, and have since completely taken over the site. Back in the day, there was a hell of a lot more "Yellow van", "epic for the win" and the like. Now it's 'america is a far left cultureless “nation” and its tranny enabling (((mutts))) will never be white no matter how much they inbreed with other “whites” in their shithole trailer park'.

Yeah, the disgusting stuff today always was there, but it was a relatively small part of the site, and now it's the vast majority of it. I'm not going to pretend that it was ever "good", but you can't pretend that it hasn't changed at all.

Wow, I just implemented this in BTT and it's amazing how quickly it's become an indispensable tool. Just highlight any text I type and get the "answer" to it. Thanks for the tip!
Saw this a number of times at my last job.

Things we encountered:

- candidates that were clearly talking to someone between getting asked a question and answering

- entirely different person interviewing than showed up to the job

- one person on the coderpad, another person on camera (and hiding this fact)

A surprising amount of comments trashing companies for trying to protect themselves from fraudulent candidates —- reality check required. If the person who interviews and the person who shows up for the job are different, companies are well within their right to terminate that employment. The point of the interview is to see if that person should be hired. If you’re unhappy about this, you’re probably in on the scam.

Hard to guess the timeline, but no kingdom / state / nation lasts forever.

Read the history of the Roman Republic and Roman Empire. IMO, the factors you mention are far more symptoms than causes.
this is the human way and of course we will do exactly that. After we produce dodo birds for the wealthy to consume we will redouble our efforts to do the same with dinosaurs.
> The article pretends that you can buy a pi for list price $5 or whatever LOL

The article literally says the opposite.

> Assuming Pis ever become available at MSRP again—and right now that still feels a long way off
> You think Apple should bear the cost and support burdens of maintaining compatibility for two CPU architectures across their OSes, app stores and in house applications for the benefit of a few thousand Mac Pro sales?

They sorta already do this via Rosetta..

But more to your point, yes they need to treat this like a leak in a damn and plug it even if it takes seemingly disproportionate resources.
Yeah, I was just watching and there was some hilarious chat interactions and meta-jokes going on. It was really amusing!

The show being terrible seems to make the audience interactions much funnier, like Mystery Science Theater 3000.
Ah I see your point. I just pause when they start typing and let them finish. I consider it a polite indication that I let them finish storing what I said in longer-term memory and that at the same time I would prefer they focus on what I say.
I'm not saying that gender studies is useless. It has obviously produced many valuable insights in the past, and I'm sure plenty of academics produce high quality scholarship in this field to this day. My point is that it makes little effort to distinguish this high quality scholarship and complete nonsense.
You can't have used it much or intentionally baited it to prove your preconceived notion that ChatGPT sucks.

If you're interested in a more nuanced view of hippies, read "Jester: Memoirs of a Retired Hippie"

No one is objectively good because they are human after all. Hippies had good values, but also bad ones such as: uncleanliness, irresponsible drug use, parasitism, thoughtlessness, and sometimes even vanity.
That is so ridiculous. What is the “usual” rate and how would we even justify such a thing. People are so caught up in environmentalism they don’t realize how anti-nature and laughably ignorant of scientific reason they end up being.
You mean like recording a Zoom call or Teams or anything using Office 365 or...

This has been the norm for the past decade.
You can get 6TB of DDR5 for ~$15k, 1.5TB of RAM doesn't cost $10k unless you're getting severely ripped off.
Let's play a short game of answer this question!

What's worse?
Not getting a job or getting murdered?

Not trying to minimize the discrimination of the religious but can't you see why most would try to minimize discrimination against a class who has a history of discriminating? Additionally, the severity is not comparable. Maybe if we were in the Crusades things would be different...do you see what I'm saying?
Most other places are worse.

Japan, China, and Korea are not having any kids which will harm the economy, not least paying for older generation’s retirement.

It is a guilty pleasure for me to watch the collapse of the UK. You can almost laugh about Jan 6 in the US or George Santos or even mindless political correctness on the part of the other side. Brexit has permanently damaged the UK economy, derailed the peace process in Northern Ireland after it was going so well, etc. Debt in the UK is so bad that the bond market said they would only buy it at loan shark rates. There is a full calendar of strikes for the next few months and it just a matter of time before the strikebreakers go on strike.

The U.S. screwed up getting into Vietnam and the 2nd Gulf War but the worst harm done is that Russia got a ‘whataboutist’ excuse to really break its military force in Ukraine.

I’d say for race there are real problems but only 30% of the population are rabid ‘progressives’ and ‘conservatives’, the rest of the people are a lot more sane but you never see them in the news or on Twitter.
The person above was talking about Great Depression, implying US.

I am fully aware of the situation outside it.
Lots of people went hungry during the industrial revolution, couldn't get a job people starved. It's going to be awesome for those looking back on it, for us living through it ... it's going to suck.

Quite. An important part of meeting notes is to establish what decisions had been made, and by whom.

There are Discord employees on the thread so I gotta ask.. what's the justification on this one?

Shit like this makes open sourcing the client a must for me
Oh, "we" are trying this in Austria! Especially in Vienna, the Greens have introduced harsh parking rules for commuters, blocking of new road infrastructure projects that have already been in planning for decades, and so on.

But I and many others who commute to Vienna don't want to go back to commuting by public transport. Been there, done that - in one direction, it's 1.5h by train + 2 metro lines, vs. 30-40 mins by car. It's an absolute no brainer, I will not waste 3h per day (!!) commuting.

To the helpful suggestions of "finding a home closer to work", I can only say: and what do I so in some years when I change jobs? Move again? No thanks!

Public transport is great if the factors align, but honestly, with the travel times that I have, I wouldn't use it even if they made it free of charge.
In pain? Yeah, I'd say that's fair. But "collapsing"? I don't really think so. This country is traditionally pretty resilient. Consider that we had a literal civil war and came out of it more or less OK in the long-run. There have always been periods of unrest and agitation, including previous periods where race related issues were front and center. But a lot of it relates to the economy. The "stagflation" of the 1970's had everybody all up in arms (so to speak) once, and we got past that as well.

I think things will settle down eventually. But I'm an optimist, and I largely buy into Steven Pinker's arguments that the world as a whole is becoming a better place in general. Sure there are exceptions in pockets, but a lot of things are improving.

Climate change and some of the resulting issues there could be the real wild-card in the equation though (to mix metaphors very thoroughly). Hard to make accurate predictions, especially about the future. As the old saying[1] goes.

I had a lot of bots in Huginn, but the amount of tending that the garden required versus and the developer experience were never good enough that I kept them going. I found myself doing all the JS editing I needed in VSCode and coping it back and forth, which is a bad experience. It definitely saved my butt a few times over the last few years, but I am anxious and excited to swap it out for this.
Aren't they just as likely to go sideways and build exactly the wrong thing? If all else fails a lot of a software dev's day to day will be a Chat wrangler where we still need the skills to determine why it's going wrong, which is a big part of the dev skill stack. Maybe it'll make us more productive, but in my experience, the software building doesn't stop until budget runs out. They'll still need devs.
Yep. But it gave straight up code rather than trying to persuade a natural language LLM to write code.

The regex I was expecting would be

"\\b(dog.*)|(.*cat)\\b"

The key point is to ask the code model. Part of what ChatGPT does is it appears to categorize the question and then may dispatch it to the code model. If you know you have a code question, asking the code model first would likely be more productive and less expensive.
They did this to us as well. And not only this, but they blocked our ability to push new releases until we opted into the new plan. And this literally happened on the day of a major release for our biggest client. It felt like we were being held at gunpoint.

We called them and begged them to give us an extension so we could perform the release, and their sales rep treated us like we were the irresponsible ones for not reading the emails they had sent us carefully enough.

We've since moved to Vercel and will never use Netlify again because of the way they managed this.
Sounds like fun doesn't it?
Yes, this, and I know the problems we're solving are not as interesting as what anyone at Google is doing, so I assume they would be bored and only stay until they find something more interesting. So, pass. FAANG kind of traps you - you can drop out of that world into a scrappy startup, but not boring stable corporate dev.
interesting that it is only recent.
> I imagine that in a couple of years it will be possible to buy a model and run your own on your own hardware. The space requirements are not out of the world and the cost seems bearable for companies.

Sure, you'll be able to run GPT-3 at home, at a time when ProMaxGPT-5++ is out.
I just read that Microsoft announced to integrate GPT-4 into Bing.
True, however it is going to be harder and harder to pay $2,000+ for a top GPU to play the latest AAA game, and it is going to easier and easier to pay ~$10/month for a cloud-rendered gaming subscription. Stadia was just cursed for being a non-ads-based Google product, GeForce Now seems to be thriving [1].

Somewhat funny is that the top 2 and 3 PC games most popular in 2022 have 1993 graphics, Minecraft and Roblox [2]. Another list puts Minecraft on 4 and Roblox on 3 [3].

I know two people this story could easily apply to and for both of them that's not at all paranoid. Both of them have had the resources of various nation states thrown at them on multiple occasions and they are both still walking the earth last I checked.

To describe this as malignant would require you to be intimately familiar with everything they've been up to. There was a short period where I myself had very good reason to be that paranoid (and more, in fact) and it's not a memory I like to revisit much. Being paranoid is one thing but to actually know that you may be - for whatever reason - a legitimate target changes things considerably.
Yeah, telecom companies in the US and Canada have us by the balls. It's at least $60 with taxes....we just get fucked compared to what Euros pay.
And at higher speeds make a good chunk of the noise, too.

> My understanding (married to an academic) is that it's pretty difficult to get rid of tenured folks

This depends on the type of institution, but it's mostly a shared fiction on the order of "corporate culture". Ie, The sort of fiction that no leader dares to undermine when times are good but which goes out the window as soon as revenues start declining and cuts must happen.

At many institutions, there are no actual legal or contractual barriers to dismissing tenured faculty. Tenure is nothing more or less than a gentleperson's agreement. A social expectation.

Even where actual legal/contractual protection does exist, it typically protects the person's job but not the job itself. Ie, a university might not be able to fire a tenured professor and hire a new professor. But they can simply downsize the academic department and release the faculty member by virtue of the faculty position no longer existing. Maybe hire back ad junct labor a few semesters later if necessary.

> much easier to eliminate admin positions.

This largely depends on what you mean by "admin". Typically the split is between "staff" and "faculty".

The explosion of "staff" is not (just) a story of bloated middle management. It's also a story of the ongoing move from tenured to untenured labor. In particular: "staff" often includes people like instructors, ad junct teaching labor, research scientists, and post-docs.

Why would you fire an ad junct instructor or research scientist (staff) if they are cheaper than a professor (faculty) for roughly the same work?

In fact, a savvy financial engineer might even prefer the more contingent form of labor even though they are more expensive because a friction of releasing traditional faculty is expensive in terms of opportunity cost and agility.
The 60s spy sats also took photos on film that were ejected in re-entry capsules and captured in mid-air using an airplane. Really crazy stuff they came up with and I'm surprised it actually worked. Engineering chops they sure had and balls too because capturing a falling object from space is pretty dangerous.

Of course then there were the soviets launching entire nuclear reactors into orbit for a few months' worth of radar duty. Ok the US did one too but it was just one. All those Russian cores are still in orbit except the two that crashed.

Crazy times.
This is the knowledge I was missing - I had assumed fees were capped across the board.
Well I've been in many pre 1890s buildings and houses that were never anywhere near a streetcar or even railroad, because they were not located anywhere near a dense urban area. The United States is a vast swath of highly arable land. Far more of it is amenable in terms of climate than Canada. And huge swaths of this country were sparsely inhabitated, broken up into these large rural parcels as I described. People moved to the United States throughout the 1800s specifically to obtain land.

> There's nothing "natural" about car-centric design and giving priority to cars

Look at the video footage of San Fran in 1906 I posted. It is just about as perfect of a model as you could find. It was a premier city at the time. It had cable car infrastructure across the city that survives to this day. However, even in this footage people are foregoing the cable car for the automobile. More people are jetting around in their car, far before any real infrastructure even existed specifically for the car. It was a consumer choice.

People like to think it was some kind of conspiracy that streetcars and railroads fell out of favor for cars.

No, cars replaced horses and horse carriages, which were flexible in path movement, did not depend on central operators, asynchronous in that they could be deployed any time, and also like horses, cars were owned.

Independence, ownership, empowerment, etc. Huge American cultural values in part shaped by the sheer geography of the U.S.

For the United States, based on its geography and culture, absolutely inevitable that independent and self owned forms of transportation would dominate.

Sprawl, in a sprawling country, is inevitable.

I'll save you the time. A load of generic plastic model faces with clichéd national dress outfits on.
The problem with separate prototyping languages is that the most permanent fix is always a temporary one. The prototype usually becomes the final product. If your language isn't suitable for use as a final product, then you're going to have a problem. If it's not suitable for writing a prototype, then you already have a problem.

52k Mac Pros are probably <0.5% of Apple's unit sales and just not representative. Why even bother writing articles about subjects like this, it's such a niche issue that affects virtually nobody, is written to generate clicks, and is a complete non-issue for the obviously ridiculously loaded individuals out there buying 50k Macs and selling them shortly after, and are unwilling to use any of the million alternative sales channels that are available to them. It's a free market, just ignore a passive offer for the opportunity to resell a purchased product for very little and continue on with your life.

I mean I've literally never, ever, in my life, sold a product I bought, to the company or person that sold it to me. The fact that one of these companies happens to offer a ridiculously low-ball price is not news, it's completely irrelevant.

It's a funny thing, sure. Feel free to mock Apple for it. But the whole outrage with words like 'disrespecting customers' is just silly.

If you think it's so easy and straightforward to pay significantly more than Apple and resell the things for even more, enjoy the free profits with your new business. I happen to have met a guy who's been reselling Macs for the past 10-15 years or so, to the tune of a low seven figure profit annually at a NYE party a few weeks back. Be less outraged and enjoy the business opportunities, I'd say.

> Congrats kid you're A Release Engineer now and your life is hell. Enjoy debugging basic typos on a remote machine with 20 minute latency because you sure can't run those Github CI bash-scripts-in-yaml files locally!

Yes! Why is this accepted??

Gitlab has a way of running CI locally (for Docker based builds anyway; who knows about Windows or Mac) but a) it doesn't support the same features at the "proper" one (even basic ones like the `default` key) and b) they deprecated it!

Ok in fairness they've stated in a random comment that they won't remove it before providing an alternative.... But still, how is this not a core feature of all CI systems?
No. I'm a salaried employee. Marginal time/effort savings do not directly translate into more money for me. But the $20 charge hits my bank account today. Perhaps if I use it consistently enough and in smart enough ways I will be perceived to be a more valuable/productive employee, which might translate to a raise. But that's a lot of maybes. I'm sure it will get to that point eventually, but by then the value will be undeniable and my employer will pay for the subscription. Until then, I will continue to use the free version, or pay-per-use with the API, or just use google.
IMO, there's zero doubt that Arlington and Watertown are suburbs of Boston by the most reasonable definitions of the word ("a. an outlying part of a city or town
b. a smaller community adjacent to or within commuting distance of a city")

However, if you continue to object to calling them suburbs of Boston, then look at Carlisle, Dover, Lexington, Lincoln, Sherborn, Sudbury, Wellesley, Weston, Winchester, and on and on. None of those Boston suburbs are even hurting for money, let alone "insolvent".
With costs of everything so high and having to limit subscriptions as it is. $20 seems kind of crazy to me. I'd happily pay $5/mo. With 1 billion people using Chat-GPT, if 25% of them subbed at $5/mo, that is 15 billion a year. On the other hand, $20/mo with 25% subbed, would be 60 billion a year. In my humble opinion, kind of greedy.
I have the same thoughts. I tried node-red and I got frustrated having to do all this drag and drop stuff for something I could code easily.
