Sorry but I am a bit naive here but when Apple asks a company to manufacture a part , do they also enlist the steps in the machining process that goes in to manufacture that part

Or

Do they just give a finished sample to the factory and ask them to figure it out on how to manufacture this part.

If it is former, then is this Indian company skipping some steps in the manufacturing process?
So instead of Open Source license violations for which it'd theoretically be possible to provide information to comply with those licenses, it instead only violates proprietary software licenses for which you shouldn't be using the code at all?
Depends upon what 'project' the project dir is for. As for format, mostly just plain text files, except for where other formats are necessary (i.e., datasheet pdf's for a hardware project dir, etc.). Various sub-directories as needed for organization. Meaningful names for most files/directories.

> Then I realized that it is always a conspiracy theory until it is too late.

In one lens, what you say is true. But that is because {true, confirmed, and supported} information comes slow from breaking events. And especially when money / harm is at stake, someone is usually willing to lie or hide the truth.

But viewing what you said through another lens, it can be easy to see this as confirmation bias (or other similar cognitive biases) that underweights all of the times you suspected a conspiracy, but where no causality was proven. As the joke goes, economists have predicted nine out of the last five recessions.

Be careful to remain at least as skeptical of social media posts as you are of companies, governments, the wealthy, and those in power.

Belief in multiple conspiracy theories can erode a person’s ability to remain rational. It seems to me that lots of Flat Earthers, for example, base their belief system more around who they chose to reject, than necessarily being accurate about what specific ideas they choose to believe.

I agree with your last paragraph in the sense that we should all be forever curious and we should spend a lot of trouble to reevaluate our errors in belief. That said, “do your own homework” seems to be misinterpreted by many as “reject all information from official sources”, which is a terrible idea.

High Schooler looking for a SWE internship
Hi, I'm a high school student who recently moved to the Bay Area. I'm looking for an internship at a startup or tech company, remote or in-person. I'm proficient in Python, JS, Java, and currently learning React. If anyone is hiring, please let me know.
Everyone will have a different answer.

This is the torture of writing applications for other people. There’s userCount + 1 opinions on things.

I often have to make notes to remind myself how half the CS team wants it like X but the other half wants Y and to stop oscillating the feature. Sometimes you can’t make everyone happy with a clever solution. Sometimes you get to make everyone equally unhappy.

It’s the debate as old as time: should the website load as best as it can, or should it work perfectly or not at all?

How is that word pronounced? If it's pronounced "tree", it clashes with the name of another data structure. But if it's pronounced "try", it clashes with the name of a reserved word in many languages.

Reverse proxy means that your pi now has to handle all the traffic for Plex and any other services. It could also make other things difficult like CIFS/whatever else you're hosting.

Depending on what Pi you're using, it's networking is over USB, and so is quite performance constrained.
Finally I'm tired of people saying it's just a probabilistic word generator and downplaying everything as if they know. If you said something along these lines before... then these papers show that you're not fully grasping the situation here.

There are clearly different angles of interpreting what these models are actually doing but people are stubbornly refusing to believe it's anything more then just statistical word jumbles.

I think part of it is a subconscious fear. chatGPT/LLMs represent a turning point in the story of humanity. The capabilities of AI can only expand from here. What comes after this point is unknown, and we fear the unknown.

I realize what I'm saying is rather dramatic but if you think about it carefully the change chatGPT represents is indeed dramatic... my reaction is extremely appropriate. It's our biases and our tendencies that are making a lot of us down play the whole thing. We'd rather keep doing what we do as if it's business as usual rather then acknowledge reality.

Last week a friend told me it's all just statistical word predictors and that I should look up how neural networks work and what LLMs are as if I didn't already know. Literally I showed him examples of chatGPT doing things that indicate deep understanding of self and awareness of complexity beyond just some predictive word generation. But he stubbornly refused to believe it was anything more. Now, I have a actual research paper to shove in his face.

Man.. People nowadays can't even believe that the earth is round without a research paper stating the obvious.
It's interesting how different ChatGPT and Bing chat are. While chatgpt will immediately change its mind and side with you if you tell it it's wrong (even if you try to convince it of 2+2=5), Bing chat is the polar opposite and will argue to death that it's right.
The 5% of economists who suck up to politicians are always able to find data that shows that if you set a floor on the price of labor it somehow doesn't affect demand. The other 95%–the ones who aren't grifters–know that the only effect of minimum wage laws is unemployment for those who would otherwise make less than the price floor. This has devastating effects on teenage and young adult unemployment, and prevents those people from gaining experience, which is highly correlated with income.

Everyone can already set their own price floor under which they will not work. There's zero good reason to make it illegal for people to choose their own minimum. This is third parties making the decision because they feel icky about it. No one who's ever had a low wage would've preferred to not work at all. Ask all the people e.g. who worked for $10/h before California raised the minimum wage to $15/h.

When less experienced workers agree to receive less in compensation it's because they understand that they are not just being compensated financially, they are also gaining experience.
I mean, how many of these do you need to produce as a seed? You certainly don't start the process at full capacity; if there are ways this nests into an evolving, self-reinforcing system to prepare for human contact then it's a fantastic start.

It's not like we have huge space constraints for small starts, I reckon?
It seems like, at least initially, FB and Google had far superior tech and talent compared to OpenAI. But they were slow to move, and with the recent media hype and the giant support from Microsoft, the best people seem to be jumping ship quickly over there now. I wonder how this will play out.
Yes! that can and will be fixed tomorrow :)
I'd also emphasise that fortunately most modern cryptography (outside of one time pads) does not rely on truly random numbers. So long as the sequence is unpredictable enough it's fine (i.e. you can't use known values to more reliably guess unknown values).

The PRNG in the linked page isn't very good but in general PRNGs are super useful in the real world even if they aren't truly random, just so long as they have some source of entropy to occasionally mix into the PRNG.

> The problem with your 2nd part is it hasn't been actually shifting away from oil, just shifting where in the chain uses more of it.

Well that's true today, but is also basically correct no matter what happens. Our society only operates because of the stuff, so today, any other energy types are going to be transported by oil, manufactured using electricity from hydrocarbons, etc.

> The strongest advocates of 'Green' energy have been frequently silent on Nuclear Energy, which is an obvious and much easier solution

What really changed my mind on this side of the discussion, was a point I heard somewhere that we would've really need to start this 15 years ago. Nuclear is so capital intensive and so long to build, we don't get the necessary impact for far too long if we start now. I'm totally onboard extending lifetime of current reactors if safe to do so, and think new nuclear should be some mix of future energy supplies. I'm keeping an eye on the industry here and totally want the startups to succeed, but I'm under the impression we need to pursue other options here as well.

This probably isn't the best thread to debate the nuances wind and solar and storage, you're right, there are real waste and safety problems with these technologies. But I don't know that also means they aren't the current best option for some mix of new investments.

But, I simply don't know what I don't know.

I gather from this comment that the software is only used by individuals filing their own returns, not by professional tax-preparers or accountants. The latter two certainly spend more than a "a few hours per year" in whatever product they use for preparation. When it's tax season and they have to get the work done by April 15, professional aren't going to tolerate a few more minutes per customer.
1995 is when CPAN started (the first "real" module repository, and the unambiguous best one for a very long time), and yeah - Perl was enormously popular then and especially shortly after for "it's not bash and it's not C" purposes. PHP was still new and WordPress didn't yet exist, and Perl was (and is) consistently beating it by a wide margin in performance.

For all the code-golf insanity that Perl supports, it's an extremely effective language with a truly stunning degree of both flexibility and performance.

As soon as something becomes a religion it loses most of its value.

To me the 'Toyota way' was more of an illustration than an exact guideline to follow and I've found this to be true for most of these things that tend to become a religion. Scrum, TDD etc all have this potential to become fodder for consultants that essentially sell a dream that they can not deliver on. But that doesn't mean there isn't a kernel of truth in there.

It seems this drum machine only can do 4-beat loops (with beats subdivided into 4). Sounds like the Brubeck is in 9/8, subdivided 2-2-2-3, 2-2-2-3, 2-2-2-3, 3-3-3.

I've been burned by overpromising machine shops in Canada. They have eventually delivered but with absolutely unacceptable delays. How does one year sound?
The thing I'm sort of confused about, but maybe someone can explain why I shouldn't be, is, why does there seem to be no implication for language translation? Or is there but coverage is overwhelmed by the fascination with chatGPT?
In short, is machine language translation now a fully solved problem?
A couple years ago when I tested Google translate in a non-esoteric conversation with my Russian speaking girlfriend and, although it was useful, in terms of native fluency it failed pretty decisively.
But isn't this a much easier problem than that which chatGPT is being marketed (or at least covered in the media) as solving?

...your example is a person saying that they are more productive at home, and saying that forcing them to return to the office is stupid.

It is not a person saying "offices should be banned".

Because you seem to have difficulty with this: a person saying "forcing everyone to return to the office is stupid" is not "don't allow anyone to work from an office". Your preferred alternative "force people to come into the office" is definitionally "ban wfh".

I do appreciate that all the "I need an office to do my job" people seem to try to denigrate anyone who disagrees as in your example "i'm 10x productive at home with my wife and my dogs by my side" which is clearly intended to make this sound false. Rather than more realistically:

* Commuting for a mandatory RTO essentially a massive pay reduction: unnecessary but mandatory commuting is fundamentally unpaid labor. For me "hybrid" RTO is essentially a 20-25% reduction in per hour income.

* Office environments are filled with people who routinely interrupt their coworkers. It's hard not to imagine that there's an overlap between this group, and the mandatory RTO folk who insist that work is for socializing.

To be clear, I have two dogs, one of which is still relatively young and an idiot, and he is less distracting than many coworkers that I have had. It goes without saying that my wife isn't a distraction because that whole mutual respect thing.

I understand, there are many people who need an office environment to work, for a variety of reasons (focus, home distractions, or not having any other social environment). The problem is that this group of people - which I'm taking to include you - isn't saying "I need this, so I'm going to RTO", it's saying "I need this, therefore everyone must RTO". Oftentimes this argument is coupled with an implicit or explicit "I need RTO for this reason, therefore those other people do to and the only reason that they don't want to RTO, is that they don't want to work".

Again: No one is saying "ban offices", they are saying "offices are not necessary, and mandating them for everyone is at best equally productive, often times not, and certainly makes work much less pleasant for many of us".

A real hybrid system where people don't have to come to the office for no reason makes things better for people who do want/need to RTO as well: fewer people in offices means less doubling of offices, or less dense seating in open plan pens (noting of course that open plan and similar have only ever been shown to be worse for productivity).

5 days ago, I discovered an ML algorithm that Google published today
It’s a wonderful feeling. The history of simultaneous discovery is interesting. I wonder how many other times this has happened in ML.

They had to use a search algorithm to discover this, apparently. It kind of just made sense to me. I don’t know whether there’s anything to learn from that though.

Blaming the followers for not reading the docs is an easy excuse, when the real problem is that the leaders have failed to define Python. The PSF needs to decide what precisely Python is and what it isn't among themselves. Because they did not do so, they can't tell if something is a bug or intentional. See this entire thread as proof.

In lieu of a formal definition, the maintainers resort to a hodgepodge of user docs, PEPs, mailing lists, and the "reference implementation". Worries about making that "reference implementation" more complex stymied Python's development. There's been flamewars about this topic with the PSF and their apologists.

On that note, Rust encountered a similar problem of bad decision-making by maintainers, who also were opposed to specification. They have ejected those maintainers and replaced them with ones who understand the need for a formal definition of their language.

The basic concept of ChatGPT is at some level rather simple. Start from a huge sample of human-created text from the web, books, etc. Then train a neural net to generate text that’s “like this”. And in particular, make it able to start from a “prompt” and then continue with text that’s “like what it’s been trained with”.

Just because there are emergent behaviors doesn't mean it's not a probabilistic word generator. Nor does it being a probabilistic word generator mean it can't have interesting underlying properties.
