Doesn't this get us into a sort of perpetual motion machine with the back and forth being

1) generate paragraph of my essay
2) feed it into this classifier
3a) if AI -> make it sound more human
3b) if human -> $$$ Profit?

Obviously it could be more fine tuned than this and is in general good to know, but I just love watching this game play out of ... errr how do we manage the fact that humans are relatively less and less creative compared to their counterparts.
Collectively, perhaps, but the developer who built my house has by far the biggest house in the area, on the nicest property, with the nicest cars, and Facebook albums filled to the brim with pictures of him meeting famous people I'll not ever get to schmooze with.

I think his profit margin must be okay.
Indian students (and more importantly, their parents) are generally averse to non-STEM fields when it comes to education. Getting through engineering/medical colleges is literally a part of the default life cycle in the current generation of middle-class India.
Yes, exactly this. Additionally we have seen how many once beautiful cities and parks have turned into unsafe homeless camps because of government policy. If I buy a house with a nice backyard I can guarantee that it will be nice as long as I maintain it. I cannot guarantee that the local park will not turn into a needle strewn homeless camp sometime in the future when some politician changes something.
what are some of the examples that you were dissatipointed by?
Are they better in your estimation?

I know that creating great enterprise software is extremely hard. When there are regulatory compliance aspects, even harder.
> In 99% of the cases, it is pronounced exactly as it is written.

That's decidedly not true for Russian, although a native speaker might not notice it quite so readily. But, firstly, there's akanie and ikanie for unstressed vowels. Then consider e.g. pervasive devoicing of voiced consonants at the end of the word and before unvoiced consonants; basically every word that ends with "-b", "-d", "-g", "-z" is not spelled as it is pronounced. Then there's the mess with spelling vowels after sibilants, with spellings like "ци" and "ща" being literally the opposite wrt hard/soft consonant distinction. And then there are phonemes which aren't even usually acknowledged as such nor reflected in spelling, such as fricative "г" (which is normative for some words even in the standard / Moscow dialect), or the voiced counterpart of "щ".

I'll grant you that it's way better than English or French! Reading is mostly not a problem in practice because, while not phonemic, the mapping is still highly consistent. OTOH spelling a Russian word based on hearing it is much harder than in languages with truly mostly phonemic spelling such as Serbian or Finnish; take a look at this: https://aclanthology.org/2021.sigtyp-1.1/
It sounds like where you live isn't actually a luxury building... it's just an expensive but cheaply built building that was labeled 'luxury' to try and justify the price tag.

The solution here isn't to pretend that high-density buildings aren't needed, because they absolutely are; rather, it's to apply and enforce reasonable standards around noise insulation in shared-wall units, and to reduce the time and expense of the permitting and planning process in general so that there isn't as much motivation to cut corners to save money on the back end.
Apple forces companies publishing apps to the App Store to get a DUNS number. A large part of the customer support segment of the site is specifically for Apple developers (so I assume it is a large part of their business).
See: https://www.nytimes.com/2014/11/28/upshot/under-pressure-fro...
Your fork wasn't public?
> Maybe the author is talking about an app that you subscribe to outside of the app store

No.

> I fail to see how apple has any responsibility for "not protecting" you if you don't actually go through their processes for being protected.

This seems like a strange statement to me. How is Apple protecting you if you have to look out for everything yourself and make sure you don't forget to cancel one of your possibly many trials or subscriptions on a very specific date?

People forget payment dates. This is totally common and normal. It's why many business have auto-pay, so you don't forget to pay your bill on time. In this case, though, Apple is more than happy to automatically take your payment, even if you didn't actually intend to pay.

I'm not sure whether this implementation has changed recently or not, but it used to be — and may still be the case — that if you started a trial with an app, and then you deleted the app from your devices because you weren't interested in the app, the trial was still active and not cancelled.
That is correct, but JSONschema does and there is an implicit behavioural difference introduced by the existence of the MultipleOf filter when you're dealing with floats versus integers that can't simply be elided away or excused by the lack of a distinction in the underlying type system.

The point is JSONschema could take a stand and say for example, "this filter will always fail when the operand is not the number representation of an exact integer".
Apple car play with some dials for ac = god tier imo
People want different things. The extra work added on different desktop environments is work that neither Microsoft or Apple is doing, and I think that's a good thing. If you want an environment for the average Joe, use desktop A. If you want a techy "fiddle all the knobs" one than use desktop B. If you want a minimalist one, use Desktop C, etc. MS doesn't make three or more versions of their OS suited for different populations, you get what they want to give you. Same for Apple.

Diversity is a strength of Linux. I don't think Pepsi worries about fragmentation with their various flavors of Pepsi, Mountain Dew, and whatever other hundreds of brands they own. Sure, diversity can be a problem if there aren't enough developers to go around but I'd rather have more options than fewer.
That link does not open for me, can someone post whatever that's supposed to redirect to?
Something like Myst could be a very fun implementation of this. Have some of the puzzle be solved by manipulation of the environment using graphing, or have actual mathematical puzzles.

I bet a word problem would be much more interesting if you play it out
> Do you(and the rest of society) get what you want?

That is an interesting question. In many cases people here are advocating that the locals don't get what they want, so that "the rest of society" does.
And how the hell would you know that, exactly?

The most basic way misogyny gets expressed is through the wholesale disregard of what women tell you if it doesn’t match your preconceived ideas.

I have chosen to believe my daughter (and, fwiw, my wife). You can say what you want, but this is what I am being told by two of the people I love and respect most in the world: it is exhausting and demoralizing to have to consistently wonder whether someone is being nice to you because they like you or because they want to sleep with you.
"Workmates"
It helps to look at it from the other direction as well: if you install the wrong NPM/PyPI package and something exfiltrates your corporate credentials, data, etc. how are you going to look if the managed device configuration would have stopped it? It's a change in how we think about computing but the old styles are not very secure and attackers have considerable experience exploiting those all or nothing security models. Having something which monitors unknown binaries being launched is the right choice for most people, and even developers really need some careful sandboxing (e.g. unless a new binary is in ~/Projects it's probably malware).

The other thing to consider: why should you care about what you work on being monitored? The most obvious reason is using work equipment for personal things, which is just a bad idea for a number of reasons starting with liability and data loss (e.g. if you get laid off, does anything get lost when your now-former employer does a remote wipe?). The other reason is if you don't have a good relationship with the security people, which is a social problem which needs to be addressed at a higher level since it'll show up in other areas, too. Rather than looking like you're being difficult or non-compliant, it's probably better to try to figure out what rules make sense - e.g. having some relationship with the endpoint monitoring people to get policy updates on a non-geologic time scale, having an official policy for who in IT security has access to data and how that's logged, etc. It's good to get that kind of thing nailed down before, say, the company gets hit with a lawsuit because one of the ITSec analysts thought it was okay to stalk that hot intern & spy on their personal web activity.
Sounds familiar. In July 2022 I found a vulnerability in one of our systems (easy to exploit and basically allows anyone to authenticate as anyone, full access to LDAP accounts), I reported it and they made a fix which they supposedly deployed. The infosec department was notified everything was OK now. I decided to recheck it a few months later (I took it personally because someone could pose as me) and found out they somehow forgot to actually deploy it even though the original ticket was marked as fixed/closed. I notified the original team and they promised to deploy it "very soon" which didn't happen again. Basically every week I had to post "still not fixed" to their chat for a few months. Every time the project manager would promise it would be deployed soon but then would forget about it. Countless emails to the infosec department about the situation. It was finally deployed in January 2023, a fix which had been ready (coded and tested) for half a year by that time! Deploying it took literally 15 minutes. In fact, I could (and was ready to) deploy it myself because I have the required privileges but I was part of a different team by then and it felt wrong to mess with their release cycles on my own.
Ok, so 1 out of 221,000, who's been at it for 20 years. I see what you did there.
No, the EU could choose to simply not levy such tariffs. They have signed free trade deals with other countries before that don't require membership, they simply refuse to do that for any country geographically in Europe.

They do this even though tariffs hurt people in EU countries (they are taxes on Europeans remember), because refusing to compromise or negotiate - insisting that everything comes as a single package with no flexibility whatsoever - and then using trade as a weapon to enforce this, is how the EU establishes its power over member states.

As a strategy it works well - look at the people in this thread. They are brainwashed into believing the EU position is immutable and inevitable, like a law of physics or something. Wrong. They can set tariffs to whatever they like. There is no specific reason trade barriers must be linked to who the supreme court is, or immigration policy, or any of the other thousand things that the EU makes contingent on them. When the EU does this it is purely about power.

Some people are upset and blame Leave campaigners for not making this clear enough. They say, how could tell us the EU would ever compromise on anything? The reason is that many Leave campaigners wanted to be diplomatic and not upset people in Europe any more than necessary, especially as some might end up in the government afterwards, as indeed happened. Spelling out the truth to people is deeply unpleasant. It means telling people that the EU is a fanatical organization that never negotiates with Europeans, these days it is only willing to dictate.

Of course the above was obvious all along. I voted for Brexit knowing full well it would mean the UK was out of the single market along with everything else, and predicting quite possibly a sort of unofficial cold war between the two sides. The people who performatively exclaim that the population were misled are talking nonsense. It was clear to anyone whose eyes were clear of ideology or diplomatic constraints how the EU would react, because it is a union held together by aggression and fear. If they tried to establish cooperation on everything possible without the take-it-or-leave-it approach, that fear would evaporate and many other countries would head for the exits.

A* is as valid on a navmesh as it is in a grid-based layout. A* just needs "points" (or each edge of a navmesh polygon) and the edges that connect them, how those points and edges are represented or exist in the world is entirely an implementation detail.
It's mostly the higher paying companies doing the layoffs.

It's also about perspective. I'm below the median for a US dev, but even so, I'm above the median in general. We have to use the Area Median Income (AMI) for a specific locale. Middle class goes up to 2x the AMI. On much of the east coast, it's about $140k per household. It's very easy to exceed this if married with both spouses working and one being in tech.
I can't judge the capabilities of this tool, but I can't help but be skeptical on the mid-long term prospects. The fakes (text, audio, video) will improve to the point of being virtually unrecognizable from real material, no matter how good your fake detection is.
28 phone calls in 14 days too. And with everyone seemingly aware, another phone call probably wouldn't have helped
I turn 49 this week and I'm more intellectually curious than ever before. I think there's a few things at work:

1. I'm financially in a good place.

2. I work hard but don't have an all-consuming job. I'm also much more focused on the work around me then looking only upwards towards the next promotion.

3. I've 98% given up the idea of going on to a PhD, which means learning is really fun and only on topics that I find super-interesting.

4. There are a lot of things that I never knew, and feel I should have learned much younger, but now I don't feel any shame in revisiting "first principles"

5. I have a balanced set of interests that are both technical and non-technical, as well as intellectual and physical.

6. I think I'm starting to understand that IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE FUN!
> HOAs are the most local form of democracy there is.

Yes, they're the most local demonstration of the fact that "democracy" is not an acceptable approach to decide what color I can paint my house, or what plants I can plant, or how soon after the 6am garbage pickup my garbage can has to be brought inside.

They're also, often, not even a democracy: they're a loudest-ocracy, because most people have better things to do with their time than dictate what their neighbors can do.

Destroy HOAs with fire.

To be clear, echoing a point from elsewhere in this thread: nobody should have to have an asphalt manufacturing plant next to their home. But that same premise doesn't extend to "nobody should have a house next to them with an Unapproved Paint Color".
I don’t see ECC mentioned in any actual specs linked/listed (could have missed it). Hope this isn’t taken out after this first run.
Not a ton, but although I think Musk is an asshole and his cars are crap, I still bought TSLA when it bottomed out last month.
Better management seems like a much more tractable goal than "fundamental societal change" or "rework human nature".
That's item 1 on the menu he offered.
Browser history or favourites.

I found that having a list of frequently visited sites dramatically reduced the number I would visit, including news sources. After a while I realised my "view" of the world/current affairs was from a narrow perspective simply because of the echo chamber that "top 5 frequently visited websites" produced.
the way you showcase the scenario, makes lot of sense! We are torn so this definitely helps

Thanks for the insights and the boilerplate repo, gold
I liked elementary, but progress has slowed to a crawl since the two co-founders had a falling out [1]. Of course as outsiders we probably don't know everything but the other founder's (the one who left) offer to keep working on the project for free without payment sounded pretty good, and it's disappointing that Danielle Foré seemingly didn't accept it (Although I might be missing some things here, this is just what it sounded like to me). A shame, they really had something good going with the overall design and attention to detail!
That being said, the changes in this release look cool and promising, hoping they can get back on track!

I find models are great and all, but in the end to me it's just intellectual pornography, when it comes time to make choices, i don't have the mental capacity or brain bandwidth to start running through 50 different models that i once read about to try and figure out what is the best choice, that's just too exhausting.
What you're not factoring in is the cost of labor and materials. They are both already quite expensive and when you have a building boom the costs of both will skyrocket. What will happen is you'll end up with cheaply constructed housing made from the worst materials. And that's the good outcome.

The bad outcome is the rich who are looking for alternate investments will buy up all the labor and materials and build construction for themselves and will build rentals. That's the bad outcome.

The awful outcome, and likely outcome is that the labor and materials will be bought by newly formed real estate companies that will build rental property that is ugly and expensive - because they control the market more and more as they merge into 2 super landlord companys.
> first day of class, write a N word essay

Initially I thought you meant having the student write an essay about slurs, as the AI will refuse to output anything like that. Then I realized you meant "N" as in "Number of words".

Still, that first idea might actually work; make the students write about hotwiring cars or something that's controversial enough for the AI to ban it but not controversial enough that anybody will actually care.
Using JS/Node and React/Native, you can target absolutely every platform with a unified codebase.

There's essentially no technical debt in choosing these technologies because if you start with a web app and then want to make a "desktop app", there's Electron. Want to make a mobile app? React Native. There's even React Native for Windows and macOS for a more true desktop app with a native UI. You can also run your JS on the backend with Node, and even inside the database (PL-V8 runs V8 for stored procedures inside PostgreSQL, aside from obviously CouchDB or MongoDB and others). Heck, you can even write an app for the Xbox or build out on several IOT platforms using JavaScript!

Is there any reason to create the same thing in 4+ different languages? Are you going to rewrite your frontend in C#, Kotlin, and Swift? Are you going to deal with different language models and incompatibilities? Rewriting the same exact functions over and over, and unit tests for every single one, keeping in mind the subtle semantic/scope differences between each language--and then realize you still have to serialize/deserialize to JSON to talk to your backend and other services and just juggle JS data models between all these languages and ecosystems.

Choosing JavaScript and React today are the sensible default where you won't code yourself into a corner, is what I'm getting at. And you can also now choose TypeScript or ClojureScript in all such cases as well.
I have no idea why you wouldn’t call it an imagine format.

But either way that’s changing the goal posts. Here is a consumer software doing what that iPhone does.

If that’s not to your liking, there is other software which produces 32bit float tiff images, those will support an even higher dynamic without the pain of EXR.
I've had a situation at a previous employer where a contract lost its ownership due to a reorg after downsizing. The new org was completely unaware of the contract lapse until services were turned off. The existing contract lapse had also lapsed the vendor review requirements and finances standing and thus getting a new contract in place, signed and paid took compliance, legal, finance and IT to all get together with the C-level staff to get services turned back on.

Longest outage i've ever seen in my life.

> No, no religion on my end.

I am definitely not surprised. Atheists seem to be the loudest about proclaiming positive rights. And, yet, it is within atheist governments where people are least likely to experience these "rights", or even the right to life: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_atheism

That is no accident.

> I just think it's obvious people have a right to food, like they have a right to clean air, water and shelter.

That's neat. I can't help but notice you declined to justify this belief. And that's part of the problem. Secular humanism has no foundation. Instead, it relies on the foundations Christianity built. As that erodes, so too will human flourishing in general!
Oh, indeed.

Annie Duke (professional poker player) had a great book on this called "Thinking in Bets."

The main idea is that good decisions can create bad outcomes. And bad decisions can create good ones (because of luck).

So she suggests making decisions by calculating expected value like a poker player. And separating the outcome from the quality of the decision.
My words were not a personal attack.
That's peak idiocy and the product of lawyers taking over the assylum.
The UK didn't choose to avoid such arrangements and requested many times for a comprehensive free trade deal.

The problem is that the EU considers arrangements such as those with the Swiss to be legacy, deprecated and no longer on offer. They have also spent a lot of time pressuring Switzerland in various ways to try and force it to become a de-facto member-without-membership. They don't want any country in Europe to have any option other than membership, whereby membership means full control from Brussels without local elections having any meaningful outcomes. That is their goal and doing a trade deal with the UK would have undermined that.
It's rumoured someone could patch it and run their own. Haven't tried for myself. Seems like a lot of work and JavaScript is pretty convenient as compared to full page reloads or frames.

These small boxes make for great homelab servers. I use a Topton box from AliExpress[1] as a router/VM/container host and love it. It has an iGPU in case SHTF, and 4 individual 2.5GB Ethernet ports. The only thing it really lacks is out of band management.

Run pfsense/opn in a VM, plug in WAN/AP/NAS/Desktop and you have a lightning fast network/development lab (by home use standards at least).

Even if you were not planning on using it as a lab, one of these kinds of boxes and a strong AP beats out even the high-end consumer focused routers all in ones without breaking a sweat at ~50W

A long time ago I ran a rack-mount Dell R710 with an external disk shelf. It drew ~600W from what I remember and had a fraction of the power

ECC would be significant since the vast majority of these kinds of devices lack it.
