Generally socialized healthcare is also cheaper because you have a single payer negotiating. You also don’t have all the middlemen that are spending time figuring out whether or not your insurance covers X Y or Z. So while it costs $140k out of pocket in addition to all the same background costs, in a socialized system it costs a heck of a lot less in addition to being free out of pocket. The trade off is that healthcare can be difficult to obtain as you have to navigate a very complicated system and there’s limited resources because it’s more accessible - if you’re upper middle class you can have similar struggles to find care as those who are poorer. The rich are oblivious to this because they can just pay for private care or travel to where private care exists.
After ten years or so, I moved away from Thunderbird, a few months ago, on my new laptop.

Thunderbird is to my eye becoming too much like a web-browser (I know the connection of course), rather than an email client. I don't want all that complexity in my email client.

I'm now using Claws Mail, which is simple, text-only and what I'm looking for.

It seems that Thunderbird supports O365 oauth natively now, including access to calendars.

I know I had to use some plugins in the past, but now, it just works.

I am a little amazed at how people get amazed by it.

As a software dev I am expected to get it right, not almost right. I just coded up something that works most of the time but failed in one case and the tester sent it back. In my case that defect takes somewhere between 1% and 500% of the effort to fix as the rest of that ticket but in the case of ChatGPT "close but no cigar" is not close at all in terms of having a strategy that is reliably truthful.

If ChatGPT has a really "amazing" ability it is in getting people to think it is amazing. I think of that story

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Emperor%27s_New_Clothes

and that it's not just cheaply dismissive to point out that ChatGPT's core competence is the same as that Emperor because not everybody can pull off what that Emperor pulled off. See also

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ELIZA_effect

which is a anecdote from the beginning of AI research that seems forgotten today in how people react to ChatGPT.

As a part time waiter, I agree with your wife about up-front checks being better.

In addition to the points you made:

- It's a waste of time deciphering social cues just to judge whether a table is ready for the check.

- If the restaurant is reaching closing time, I cannot close out the cash register until I have every check. The sooner I close out the system, the sooner I can let core waitstaff go home. Keeping staff around for one or two late tables is a waste of resources. Better to have the checks up-front and close on-time.

If you wanted to do this with python:

cat beef.txt | grep "lasagna" | sort -n | uniq

The correct way would seem to be to write four python programs, named pcat, pgrep, psort, and puniq, and then pipe the output of one program to the other program. The only advantage would be that it should be able to work in any operating system with a python environment.

Ideally each program would have the same functionality and resilience as the original bash programs. The argparse module (for accepting the same options at the command line as the origals) and pathlib module (for portability to Windows as well as Linux and Mac) would be useful.

Now, is it really worth the trouble of doing this? Possibly, at least as part of an educational Python program. Implementing all of grep's functionality would be a big job, however.

I have thought about this too, it would probably be very innovative if smallish 100 person companies brought on software people to do menial work with eventual automation in mind. The problem is no competent software engineer is going to work for 60k a year and no company is going to pay 200k.
Unless you're really into managing a small fleet of devices for basic functionality I'd highly recommend replacing them with a single Intel NUC or similar. I did the same after one too many SD card failures and was very happy with the results - you get a significantly more powerful server for a power footprint about the same as all the horribly inefficient USB power adapters running a bunch of Pis.

> Models like ChatGPT aren’t eligible for the Hutter Prize for a variety of reasons, one of which is that they don’t reconstruct the original text precisely—i.e., they don’t perform lossless compression.

Small nit: The lossiness is not a problem at all. Entropy coding turns an imperfect, lossy predictor into a lossless data compressor, and the better the predictor, the better the compression ratio. All Hutter Prize contestants anywhere near the top use it. The connection at a mathematical level is direct and straightforward enough that "bits per byte" is a common number used in benchmarking language models, despite the fact that they are generally not intended to be used for data compression.

The practical reason why a ChatGPT-based system won't be competing for the Hutter Prize is simply that it's a contest about compressing a 1GB file, and GPT-3's weights are both proprietary and take up hundreds of times more space than that.

I have a couple years of phage research. Unfortunately we haven't really seen phage-attacking viruses yet. I know the "first known virovore" made its rounds here a while back, but in the case of a phage attacking another virus, neither really has a "metabolism" to exploit.

Your point about bacterial resistance to antibiotics vs phages is almost correct; increasing resistance against one attack broadly tends to decrease efficacy defending against the other, though as I am not familiar with the mechanisms for this, my uninformed hypothesis would be that the gene expression required comes at a high price - you can't defend against antibiotics and phage and outcompete your Petri-dishmates.

I suspect that for the future, medicine will be antibiotics in combination with phage cocktails of several phage strains that sabotage in different ways (targeting capsular polysaccharides vs surface proteins vs flagella, for example), to prevent a repeat of antibiotic resistance.

You're probably going to be hard pressed to really beat out the sheer data throughput capacity of BigQuery without significant developer investment. I've done a lot of Apache Spark, Flume and Beam and they all have their own quirks and problems points. All of them are not at interactive speeds, have OOM issues for certain operations and require a lot of glue code/data management.

Honestly at this point you're probably going to want to start looking into the query planner and execution stats of your BigQuery jobs to see if you're doing something really weird and optimize that: https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/query-plan-explanatio...
> I'm in the leadership position you describe, and I've found remote work to be amazing for teaching because of screen-sharing.

For years now, well before the pandemic, this is how such things have been done everywhere I've worked. The two people aren't huddled around the same machine, they're each in their cubes doing screen-sharing.

It's just a better way to do it, remote work or not.

Looks very promising! Is it using chatgpt in the background, or one of the other gpt models? Or did you create your own model on top of GPT?
This is a decent summary. I've been thinking about how ChatGPT by it's very nature destroys context and source reputation. When I search for something on the Internet, I get a link to the original content, which I can then evaluate based on my knowledge and the reputation of the original source. Wikipedia is the same, with a big emphasis on citation. ChatGPT and other LLMs destroy that context and knowledge, giving me no tools to evaluate the sources they're using.
Chat based just means the ads will be more insidious.

Luka isn’t the most explosive or athletic player out there. Once he loses a step his game will regress a lot.

As a former GitLab employee from an expensive region, I’m a little concerned Sid didn’t layout the layoff process more transparently.

An interesting thought experiment on that: if you convinced (non-violently, non-coercively) a shop keeper to give you something for free that wouldn't be stealing. At what point does doing the same with an AI till become the same thing?

The shop is giving the AI authority to run the transaction, if it permits something is that the shop also agreeing?

Have you tried Claws Mail? It's a plain native traditional email client, and I find it really snappy.

There is even a Windows port. Not sure how "native" people might consider that as it's still based on GTK for Windows, and I don't have personal experience with it, but might be worth giving a try?

Many/most of these companies have a huge portfolio of projects underway and have lots of open headcount that they’re hiring for. What sense does it make to say cut an engineer from one org only to hire another one a month later for another org?

Literally no thought is given to redeploying the labor force against the new set of projects. Just cut and rehire. It’s the ultimate short-termism, lack of vision and lack of leadership. Ironically all of these companies blather on about leadership but fail to even demonstrate a scintilla of it. Leadership just means “plays political game competently” at these companies.

20 Reasons to Use OpenBSD
My App 'Beezle Social' Is Live on the App Store. Used: Rust, Swift and AWS
Hey all,
After years of working, I finally completed Beezle Social, discover local events!

Beezle Social is an app that is ready to be downloaded on the App Store and possibly soon on the Play store as well! With Beezle, you can explore events happening nearby. Check out the website at https://beezleapp.com/. The app can be downloaded at: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/beezle-social/id1661982809. I completed this on my own.

Rust is used at the backend. I did choose Rust because of its safety and speed. I took me awhile to get used to the type-system, but after that, I was amazed by the functionality and ecosystem. It is a joy working with macro's, cargo and code quality of other libraries.

Swift is used at the frontend. Obviously I preferred Swift over Obj-c. I used SwiftUI + UIKit to make the UI. The whole chatting part is done with UIKit because SwiftUI does not support advanced text editing options. I used some hacks in the chatting part to make sure SwiftUI doesn't reload everything all the time when a new message comes in.

AWS is used at the deploying side. I used ECS and Docker to deploy the server and a lot of other services for media, CDN and mailing system.

Beezle used libraries I created: https://github.com/Jasperav/Catalytic and https://github.com/Jasperav/GRDB-ORM. Catalytic is an ORM for the scylla-rust-driver and GRDB-ORM an ORM for GRDB.

I am happy to answer any question! Please download the app, leave a review and ping me if you missing features.
> These companies overhired and now they are realizing that the positive cash flow to justify all of these new employees isn't existing.

This is false in a broad sense - the majority of CEOs plan to increase headcount this year in spite of layoffs. You can find examples here and there where it is true, but in general it is not. There's tons of literature of this readily available, but here is an example from as recently as yesterday: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/ceo-outlook-report-optimism-r...

> None of these layoffs are focused on laying off their most expensive people.

The people you see laid off tend to be newly hired at higher recent market rates or people who have been there a very long time, both of whom are either expensive in a relative sense or an absolute one.

But even that is besides the point. Even if you fire randomly you still see this benefit if you're a CEO.
Sure, and as said you won't likely have any issue, and maybe - without knowing - you actually used a U0=400V cable, the norm is 2010 or so if I recall correctly, so I believe that most Cat 6 cables in commerce are nowadays certified for that use.
Every state or country that propose this I assume have ulterior motives. There must be some private company lobbying for this, as it would be simple to accomplish the same end goal without creating new services that people must submit an ID to and ultimately putting totalitarian controls on all adults and spreading PII information around where it will ultimately be leaked.

The simplest solution would be to require sites that have user-contributed content to add the RTA header [0], create legislation requiring the most common browser apps to recognize this header and integrate with parental controls which most devices already have and put the liability on the parents to parent their children. It doesn't have to be every app or device, just the most common that children would have access to. Cell phones and tablets already have controls and apps to let children use specific apps. Teens will find ways around this, just as they would using some 3rd party service that requires a credit card and thus leading to more CC fraud. Let's keep financial data out of this and keep teens from starting their adult life with a criminal record of financial fraud.

Yeah, I'm not going to give you the benefit of the doubt that you have terrible reading comprehension. You're probably just a very dishonest person.

In my comment, I said "[racism] is something we can always improve on", and you framed it as "Riiiiight, because racism doesn't exist any more." I don't know how to paint it more clearly that you're either very dishonest or not a careful reader.

No. More incredible dishonesty from you.

More dishonesty from you.

Wow you're incredibly dishonest.

Trump is many bad things, but racist is not one of them. But, you're behaving so dishonestly, I would guess you probably even know that already.

Race relations got significantly worse under Obama. It turns out, when you put people in power who are race grifters, they'll actually fracture society through their demagoguing. That's what leftists have been doing for decades now. The melting pot may fail, and it's through deliberate action from people probably a lot like you.

I think with any technology, there will always be individuals looking to make a quick buck. Whether that's a fledgling startup trying to woo investors, big tech cos looking to pump their share price, or your average Twitter/LinkedIn influencer peddling engagement bait.

IMO AI has reached this stage of its lifecycle. There have always been, and still are, valid use cases for AI, but I think the GPT-3 inspired applications we've been seeing as of late are no more than impressive tech demos. It's the first time the general public has seen a glimmer of where AI can go, but it really is just a glimmer at this point.

My advice is to keep your head down and try to be selective with the content you engage with on AI. It seems like every feed refresh I have some unknown Twitter Verified account telling me why swaths of the population will be out of a job soon. The best heuristic I have so far is to ignore AI-related posts/reshares from names I haven't heard of before, but of course that has obvious drawbacks.
I guess it's not implausible somebody would try to open a nonadversarial conversation simultaneously with sending a C&D, but I will say I've never seen it done that way, and I suspect there's a good reason why not.

(Not least because escalating something to counsel, and then having side conversations about it with whoever you just brought to counsel's attention, is a bad idea!)

And that's if they see something here they might want to investigate further, which given SO's stance on ML-generated answers up to this point, I tend somewhat to doubt.

If I gave up every time I felt empty inside, I wouldn't have done a single thing in my life. Finish your degree.
