I asked ChatGPT that if it can replace Google search engine. It says :

"As an AI language model, I do not have opinions or personal thoughts. However, it is unlikely that chatbots like ChatGPT will replace traditional search engines like Google in the near future. While chatbots like me can provide quick answers to specific questions and engage in conversational interactions, they still have limitations and are not as comprehensive or efficient as search engines like Google. Google and other search engines have access to vast amounts of information and use complex algorithms to deliver relevant and accurate results.

That being said, chatbots like me can complement traditional search engines by providing an alternative, more conversational interface for accessing information. Additionally, advances in natural language processing and AI technology may lead to chatbots becoming more sophisticated and capable of handling more complex tasks in the future."
I agree it does do that though for context of others reading the thread personal data is a very broad topic:

With the best shit-eating grin ever. I love Yes Prime Minister with all my heart. And the event leading up to it:

> James Hacker : Hello? Yes, Ronnie. I want the president of St George's Island to extend an invitation to Britain to send an airborne battalion on a goodwill visit. No, just a friendly gesture. Goodwill. Yes, at once, please. Thank you.
> [hangs up]
> James Hacker : He seemed to think that 800 fully armed paratroopers was an awful lot to send on a goodwill visit.
> Israeli Ambassador : No, it's just an awful lot of goodwill.
> James Hacker : [phone rings] Oh, yes, Paul. You know you have an airborne battalion on standby in Germany? Never mind how I know. Well, since it's not being used, I want them to fly straight off to St George's Island. [Pause] Sort of between Africa and India. A goodwill visit. Just showing the flag. They have been invited. Yes. Leave in... six hours. Yes, an *instant* goodwill visit. Tell your press office to announce it at once. No, no, leave me out of it. A *routine* visit. All right - a routine *surprise* visit. Well, say they were invited earlier, but the NATO exercise got in the way. Now they're not needed, they're going anyway. All right. Nobody knows it's not true. Press statements aren't delivered under oath.
Um, every .Net Core developer I know, which is quite a few at multiple companies, are still doing everything on Windows and Visual Studio classic. Windows is still a massive concern for the tech community and most of those people seem to absolutely dislike windows 11 to the point they're all using Macs at home. Even our windows-centric SQL Server DBAs have macs at home.

No one is going to buy corporate Macs though because Windows and Office is the best corporate dystopia for the compliance check boxers.

I know in many union shops, there's a mutually-agreed process for termination. It's usually part of the Collective Agreement.

This process needs to be followed for termination.

Problem is, some middle-management type decides they want to fire a person (for cause), and doesn't follow the process. And even if they are correct in the substance of their action (ie: bad employee), they get stopped because they don't follow the agreed procedure.

So you have an incompetent manager trying to fire an incompetent employee, and this turns into the FUD of "unions protect bad employees!" When the reality is that the management is incompetent, and probably didn't even read the Collective Agreement.

It enables action. Knowledge is not pointless but it is not the end goal. An education is not pointless but it is meant to lead to some action afterwards like designing a house after studying architecture. That action might even be creating more knowledge (both by researching and teaching), if you are thinking about a career in academia.

I'm actually not sure whether I fully agree, I think that knowledge can also be a goal in and of itself sometimes.
Probably because the only reason why you would do that is to bait Clicks and confuse non-tech people? Nobody would care to make news out of it if all you said was "windows is basically doing the same thing google does, or any of the most popular websites for that matter"
Also potentially the IDs of any Bluetooth and wireless devices nearby, MAC addresses and information about other equipment on the network. It’s a lot of data and it’s useful and valuable otherwise they wouldn’t go to the effort of collecting it.

I can't speak for how Windows behaves on it, but I've never noticed any throttling. The only time the fans have kicked on is when the battery is plugged in and charging. As I said before, though, I also don't really game on it.

I don't know if / how it runs linux, but I've got a friend with a legion, and was also happy with it.

If you'd rather have better graphical performance than battery life, definitely go with the legion. If you can't stand the thought of being tethered to a power cord every time you have to do something serious, then you might want to consider the gram.

I've had gaming laptops before, and after putting the battery through the ringer after awhile it was a struggle to get 4 hours unplugged, which I simply didn't want to deal with again.

It’s most definitely not “meaningless”. Your point is a semi fair one if you’re talking objective data; however, we have a general reference point and neutral space to refer to.

I found HealthyGamerGG’s recent video really useful for this:

https://youtu.be/8PYhEWK2wVA

Some scattered notes from this video:

- when you're bored, your mind is looking for a particular stimulation

- when you allow yourself to resolve boredom with dopaminergic activities like video games, you reinforce for yourself the idea that this is how to relieve yourself of boredom. Your brain in turn will learn to immediately reach for unproductive, dopaminergic activities to make the boredom stop

- if you resist the boredom (procrastinate on boredom, procrastinate on procrastinating) your mind will start thinking creatively

- shower thoughts, hikes - times when your boredom is unresolved and creativity follows it

- capture your fleeting creative impulses

- instead of falling for a craving or a desire, jot it down and meditate on it, think it through. Ask yourself: "What else can I do?"

- Examples - jot things down, work on small business idea, doodle, anything but falling for your boredom resolution

- The reason why we typically don't do this is we don't have the habit of it and we don't reinforce it

- reflect on the work that do

- people are not good at it

- Playing a game a lot does not reflect on skill

- physicians who practice a lot are not necessarily the best at a specific task but the ones who reflect are

- It may help you to visualize this step as an IRL replay analysis. Bronze tier players in video games stay bronze because they don't actively seek out their mistakes and tro to correct them.

- rereading notes, revisiting older work helps create new ideas

- ride out boredom
Perhaps it's because they feel more comfortable expressing themselves in a pseudoanonymous forum. Perhaps they discovered that they were trans by virtue of being eternally online. I believe it is the latter to a great extent. I don't know if there are any studies of this (or if studying such things is even permitted), but in my own fairly small family/friends groups there are 6 people (out of around 30 or 40) who have apparently learned they are trans within the last 6 years, and to a person they are highly active on social media, chat rooms, and reddit or other internet forum sites (resetera, kiwifarms, 4chan, etc.). Prior to becoming internet addicts, not one of them expressed any behaviors or interests suggesting they were born the wrong gender, despite it being relatively acceptable in their social groups prior.
IANAL but European law is nuanced over whether IP addresses are PII. If I'm not mistaken it's been ruled they are for ISPs, rationale being they have enough other data points that once correlated with IP addresses allow to identify individuals. Whether the same applies to Google (I suppose) is definitely not clear to me.

No matter what the truth is, in EU there seems to be a touch of "of course it was the Americans", often justified by "that's just what the Americans do".

GP didn't say odd, or at least not numerically odd, but rather "ending in impossible digits".

Floats have varying precision, not uniform. The closer the number is to zero, the more precision it has. There's a point where the precision is so low that it only covers whole numbers, and then a point after that where the precision is less than whole numbers.

Given the context of pointers, it's quite possible that they were large enough to reach that less-than-whole-number-precision range.

EDIT: For 32-bit floats, that's apparently any number above 16,777,216. Which seems surprisingly small to me. For 64-bit doubles that goes to 9,007,199,254,740,992.

I've also noticed that and found it worrying.

I don't thinks this is a conspiracy of any kind (or at least I hope so) but I wonder if this apparent docile conformity of the press at large is a side effect of the changes that occurred in this field during the past 20 years.

The dictatorship in Nicaragua started using the @ and introducing "ungendered" words mamy years ago.

For instance, they wrote "Tod@s con Daniel" and officially read it as "Todos y todas con Daniel"

In this case, the @ didn't get any special pronunciation. It was a direction to read the word twice.

The internet is the only place where the reality of who they really, down right to the DNA, really are. In real life, in the average case, it's not difficult to see that someone is a man dressing as a woman or vice versa, not so on the internet. When you combine this with the near-complete domination of certain political ideologies on the site it becomes much clearer.

.. on a vector of trivial types. If we have to call a non-trivial destructor for the item being removed, the check stops being significant.

Then there can't be a pop without a push or some other operation that filled the vector, and that operation necessarily has the checks and branches to allocate more space if necessary.

The compiler should also be smart enough to branch forward to the throw so the branch predictor assumes not taken by default, so this is still cheap af.

This is "fairly bad" for performance maybe 1% of the time. For the other 99%, you'd make pop_back check and throw and keep the unchecked version as pop_back_fast or something like that. That's what a sane API would look like.

Not sure if you've heard of the McNamara fallacy, but it's something I see a lot on HN.

Point is, the twitter saga is happening now. I'm sure a retroactive analysis of twitter's financials, user growth, activity, etc. would be fascinating ten years from now... but at that point it would have become an academic curiosity. Perhaps a curiosity we can learn from, but in that timespan the tech industry might be totally different.

It's thus silly to brush away obvious qualitative observations and dismiss conclusions from them as irrelevant. Worth noting their limitations, sure.

A bit silly to call this whole saga an "experiment" either. Musk didn't even want Twitter. He decided to axe a good chunk of the folks arbitrarily. By many accounts, a good chunk of the folks left don't want to be there either. Is it an experiment? If so, it's one of the least controlled and poorly set up experiments I've ever seen.
GopherCite, Sparrow, WebGPT and most likely the new bing (WebGPT2) all first find sources then generate output, so you're just mistaken. The first two specifically get folks check whether the selected source snippet supports the answer.

Shooting film is a different skill. You really need to have experience with the medium to understand how it performs and when to use it.

Thing is, the practical cases where you want to represent amounts exactly all involve decimals, not binary. If you default to decimals, and someone unknowingly uses them in a situation where binary floats would be better, they still get results they expected, just slower. But if you default to floats, and someone unknowingly uses them in a situation where an exact decimal amount is needed, it can actually produce incorrect (in the sense defined by the functional spec) results. Defaults should be safe, and performance optimizations that are more likely to affect correctness should be opt-in.
Seymour Hersh has had a long and storied career, and he has made some very bold claims that later turned out to be correct.

He's also, especially recently, made some very bold claims that so far have not turned out to be correct, whether because the truth just hasn't been revealed yet, or because Hersh was wrong or misled by his sources.

It's also worth noting that Hersh - as with any journalist - is only as good as his sources. If people choose to leak juicy secrets to him (not implausible!) he may end up publishing accurate stories that reveal nefarious conspiracies (which has happened). If people choose to give him lies and misinformation, he may end up publishing conspiracy theories instead. And as he keeps publishing, the odds that this will happen (if it hasn't already) keep increasing.

So I absolutely wouldn't write off any claim Hersh makes, but I wouldn't blindly believe it either. And here he is relying, by his own admission, almost entirely on a single anonymous source, giving details that can't really be independently confirmed.

Was Hersh told by someone that the US took out the pipeline? Probably! Does that mean the US did so? I'm not sure I'd seriously update my priors based on this.
From my reading focused on this specific issue of the GDPR and the national laws of member states, this is not the case. Opt-in is specifically required for personal information. The telemetry data outlined in the proposal would not fall under this requirement. You can even retain time-limited IP logs with some special caveats. The GDPR is actually quite reasonable and fair.

Russ Cox is a very intelligent and effective engineer. He has a history of projects where he first analyses the problem space, then arrives at great solutions. He puts a lot of effort into discussing the problems and proposal with the community, especially after the widely criticized go mod decision by the go team (which is now mostly accepted as unfortunate, but in the end, the correct decision, I would think).

My point is: We all suspect Google and telemetry to be bad. But can we be charitable enough to separate the Go project, that is run by individual humans, and telemetry from our superficial cliches to actually read the proposal?
This is just pure evil. The government so far was pretty much useless; and with this they are now actively preventing people from organizing themselves. A net negative, after years of paying taxes.

And probably the greatest contributor to this tragedy was the lack of oversight for construction codes and safety regulations in the first place.

The claim that Twitter would collapse immediately never made any sense. Most engineers tend to design software so that they can take holidays. There might be a handful of Ops people who may be need to be available 24/7 but even in a website the size of Twitter those probably number fewer than a few dozen.
The original investigators called BS. Then the OPCW worked to silence them and brought in chumps who would stick to the script. Their latest report only confirms that it was a coverup, doubling down on fake “evidence” provided by the white helmets.

Probably part of the settlement with the SEC to limit Musk's tweeting.
No, credible reporting includes verifying what sources say. Hersh is transparent about not verifying, but he continues to present their statements as fact. That's not dishonest, but it's not a standard of reporting anyone should accept.
Microsoft is still chasing its ever-dwindling goal of out-googling Google.

Microsoft should concentrate on its core expertise and fix Windows instead. It has always seen other peoples' successes and wanted to take/rob/steal those away, instead of 'making it' on its own merits.

Thirty years it has been doing this shit. At Microsoft, nothing ever changes.

This place can be quite bipolar. I actually quit HN for a long period over the "second coming of Microsoft" when the entire HN crowd was crowing of Satya's ascent into grand hegemon position because the sycophantry was making me wretch.

The ADA's significantly different, in my opinion for one simple reason: Buildings don't vote, people do. Everyone voting on the law could potentially be restricted by it, because they could build a new building or renovate an existing one. Therefore, while the people voting for it could be operating under the assumption of "Don't care, already got mine", they're still restricted by it going forward.

In contrast, NOBODY who voted for NZ's law will be restricted by it.
