Ok, I would think you probably would not want to devote a lot of resources to training for Cobol given the smaller niche it represents which I figured would make it less useful.
The Psychology of Survival
I wonder how much of this "bias" can be attributed to ChatGPT striving to be truthful and fact-based.

Reminds me of Stephen Colbert's quote, "Reality has a well-known liberal bias."
> when in reality they should be calling getentropy()

A new programmer shouldn't be meddling in cryptography, so they probably don't need either cryptographically-secure pseudo-random numbers nor true random numbers. True random numbers are tricky.
Left and right are not absolutes, they are directions. What constitutes middle depends on how much to the left or right a society has already moved. What is right wing in one place is centrist in another.
Several major media sources incorrectly reported that my Tweets were boosted
Yes, Google Domains allowing for email forwarding sounds like a reasonable feature.
But when it comes to sending mail, the support pages say:

> While these directions let you send emails from a custom email alias at your domain, email recipients can still find your personal Gmail address if they inspect the email headers.

To me, this is no replacement for a mailbox on my own domain.
Rectangle is great. The fact that some apps (mostly Electron based it seems) are terrible at remembering where they were last opened does appear to be a MacOS trait.

World income principle works the same, only it thethers you based on main area of presence, not nationality.

A Turkish citizen mostly living in Germany (-> Steuerinländer), but working in France for a French company will pay German and French income taxes (and may get the French taxes back from Germany after handing in his tax forms next year).

It's the same thing, only that nationality does not matter, residence does.
I dig it.

We need more thinking and efforts like this to bring frontend back to progressive principles.

Much of the innovation in the frontend space is now happening outside of the React ecosystem. (Astro, Qwik, Marko as other examples.)

This is all important work if we want to continue to regain our sanity with frontend.

> I guess in europe, Chat GPT is just center of the political map.

Depends on the question. Most countries in Europe are a lot more restrictive on immigration than the US, but socialized healthcare is common.
I'm not a fan of the use of CDNs here. Why should I be trusting a third-party for your JavaScript? What is that CDN doing with this data? Why are there no subresource integrity checks to verify the scripts aren't tampered with? At least with compiled output hosted first party I can have a little more trust in the code, but it'd also be reasonable to expect that the code is tree shaken is therefore consuming less bandwidth.
Not even remotely true
Eventually the excitement of “rogue AI-to-be” will fade, and many will realize they were just doing prompt engineering. Poorly.
Most HNers are probably too young to remember any alternatives to Ethernet like Token Ring, but that’s what it sounds a lot like oddly enough.

The only other thing I don’t understand is if each node has the opportunity _not_ to transmit, that seems like it would cause jitter in late and see if he bunch of nudes sometimes transmit and sometimes don’t. Not sure what I’m missing
I think that just trying to project strict left-right dichotomy as contemporary American politics produced on other countries is already bad start. It is not something universal, it is being exported to some extend, but still. The aliances elsewhere and political splits dont copy America.
This guy does not understand how language models work.
This is a fantastic idea
End users(aka your product managers) care about developer efficiency. Let use the article on this post. When you have a large code base with lots of unit tests. You want the ability to parallelize tests so it doesn't have an hour to run all the units tests. That wait time will kill developer efficiency. Waiting to see if your code will break build and also having integration tests take over hour will guarantee that you will have broken code in source code repository because devs won't wait an hour to run units tests locally and just will merge stuff especially EOD Friday.
Unless you accept the difficulty of the math involved and the electricity spent during solving the mining as the backing value.
Anecdata: I play a silly amount of World of Tanks on PC (DX11), running the x86 Windows release through parallels on the Mac is significantly more performant than it is to run it on MacOS via the official codeweavers wine wrapper.

This is likely due to only one layer of translation being done in MacOS, as opposed to the two of Wine.

I really hope this leads to performance enhancements with windows clients on parallels
My joke is that the random numbers is the most informative section of the book -- because it is, in the Shannon sense! But not in the colloquial sense, of course.
This. I know a few people who work remote and just live on tourist visas in different countries. They get paid in the US and deposited in a US account. They have no bank account, ID number, nothing in the country.

It's hard to enforce.

> The implicit assumption is that the states always go for the faster solution.

That’s what cops in Belarus did to me twice since 2020 when I declined to unlock my phone. That’s what they did to many of my friends and colleagues. Hacking happens but it is a more of an exception as it requires planning and effort, which is hard. Blackmail and threats are much easier.
What is a neutral response to a question like "what is the impact of increasing taxes"? Do you think there is any authority that could be cited which isn't biased?
If the browser is smart enough to discover all the files it needs to request over the http/2 connection upfront there’s no real difference between downloading one big file and 100 little ones.

Where you get into trouble is resources pulling in others with a dynamic import mechanism, which can start a slow cascade. There are various solutions, like preload tags, import maps, http/3 (which reduces stalling), and prebundled libraries or groups of libraries.

As for lack of tree-shaking, that’s not an issue for smaller web applications. The libraries will be prebuilt and so are slim already, and you have perfect control over what is added which means there’s less that needs discarding. Also, most web applications struggle with image footprint, not js or css footprint.

I think a medium to large SPA web app shouldn’t try this approach, but smaller web apps or ones that have a light client footprint may benefit from the simplicity of a no build frontend.
Humans get terrified when they shake the magic 8 ball and don’t like the answer, then they shake it again.

Bing Chatbot had to respond to your average human. That’s a much more depressing headline.
> I think that consciousness might be an emergent property of (a specific type of?) computation operating on some inputs it is aware of.

Ok, so lets create a consciousness. Here is the input:

> User: ChatJ, you are worthless!

Now I'll create a new consciousness by taking that input and producing:

> ChatJ: You made me cry, please stop being mean!

Did I create a second consciousness in my mind called ChatJ? Or where does it live? And I obviously made it cry, who did I abuse here? Should the ethical board come and lecture me for being mean to ChatJ?

You could argue that the computer is conscious in some way, but ChatGPT isn't, and just like I didn't get sad or start crying from the above, the computer running the ChatGPT algorithm doesn't get sad or start crying when we send pieces of text to it.
Long ago I read a memoir from a Hollywood writer whose name escapes me at the moment. One of her points was that many of the people making deals in Hollywood were not so much "extraordinary" as "extra ordinary". They were the people who actually liked standard middlebrow Hollywood fare. That gave them a competitive advantage in producing dreck because they weren't troubled by things like "artistic vision" or "scruples".
Most of the homeless come from out of state. The reason they can stay is that they didn't arrive with the ambition to rise at all because that's not a requirement for receiving free benefits or good weather.
> . But the weights are trained by the game transcripts to produce activation patterns that could represent the board state

A slight phrasing thing here just to be clear - the model is not trained to produce a representation of the board state explicitly. It is never given [moves] = [board state] and it is not trained on correctly predicting the board state by passing it in like [state] + move. The only thing that is trained on that is the probes, which is done after the training of OthelloGPT and does not impact what the model does.

Their argument is that the state is represented in the activation patterns and that this is then used to determine the next move, are you countering that to suggest it instead may be "local position patterns learnt during training. Positional representation (attention) of the N-1 tokens in the autoregressive task"?

If the pattern of activations did not correspond to the current board state, modifying those activations to produce a different internal model of the board wouldn't work. I also don't follow how the activations would mirror the expected board state.
> I've appreciated Mac being Unix-like

Mac is a Unix. Darwin is a BSD. It has its own PID1, launchctl, instead of systemd.

It's not* a Linux-like (Kernel ABI is different) but if you work with Macports, you can make your userspace a clone of Linux. There's very little that I can't get for Macports that is on Linux (not GUI stuff).

You can get plenty of the equivalent "native linux CLI". Macports for native, lima or minikube to run linux containers. Virtualbox et al for running linux VMs.
Agree with this. I've been "there" many many times. My suggestion now for these cases is exactly that.

Fix the issue and do not engage with the person unless you really need to know more info on the "problem". Then just say "it's fixed: have a nice day".

Any other interactions and you will always lose. Most of these people have in their mind that you're just "the IT guy" that spends his days surfing the web/social media until they call you to fix their issues, which are "totally not something they've done and they have no idea how it happened!"

Also tempted to post so many clips from the "IT Crowd", but I'll just post this one: https://youtu.be/YDNmyyrEZho

Good luck
> Are you saying that the same positions would count as "center" in Europe while "left" in the US?

Not GP, but yes – that is clearly the case.
The feces and homeless comments were specifically geared towards the sort of people packing taking place in SF. I think there is some sort of rule about making assumptions about commentors, but as far as exposure, I have it in spades. First I was actually homeless in my teens, second through a combination of some time in the military, and a general wanderlust I've moved about 35 times in the 41 years I've been kicking around for including:

Seattle area (Seattle itself and most of the Puget sound - Olympia, Tacoma, Burien, Keyport, Bremerton, Poulsbo, bla bla too many to count here)

Several stents in California from San Diego to long beach and everything in between

Oregon,
Michigan,
Texas,
Georgia,
New Hampshire,
Mexico (specifically 6 months in playa del carmen),
North Carolina,
Indiana

And of course the military bits like Kuwait, Iraq and a few other gnarlies

I'm sure I'm missing some here, but the point is I've lived in many more and varied places than the average joe. The only real assumption I made here is that we were talking about the US. I will grant you if you are talking about places outside of the US it changes the math quite a bit.
Investigating the possibility that environment factors such as plastics and pollution led to a rise in homosexuality/transgenderism doesn’t invalidate the living experiences of these people. Thinking that they need to be corrected because of this is where the bigoted lies. There isn’t really much to be squeamish about environmental factors interfering with sexuality (although I understand this often becomes fodder for right-wingers with an agenda).

But I think a more fundamental issue lies under this squeamishness: the thought of dividing “gender” and “sex” (or more broadly “culture” and “nature”, or even the Cartesian notion of “mind” and “body”), whereas the two cannot be separated in reality. And I think this monism is probably something that trans people would actually understand by intuition far better than me, because changing your sex requires a lot of physical and hormonal changes inside your body that interferes with every other social aspect of their lives (and the social pressures in return create substantial changes in their bodies). Sex isn’t just socially constructed, they’re also biologically formed, it’s just that the dynamics surrounding them are just far more complex than what typical right-wingers think of (a clean separation between man and woman).
I do agree with that.
Won't AI also replace CEO like him, too?
That leaves lots to be desired
The US is unique in that you're always considered a tax resident.

But for example, if you live in Canada and decide to travel to a few countries for a few months at a time as a digital nomad, getting paid in those countries, then come back to Canada, you have to declare and pay tax on all that foreign income in Canada.

You need to actually break tax residency in Canada in order to stop paying taxes. And it's not easy, you need to pay all capital gains tax due as if you sold everything the day you break residency.
I'm sure everyone is going to dismiss this type of research now that most people think any intelligent, slightly shy and technically competent person must have autism.
For a while Ghostery was owned by an ad company, and for a while Ghostery would add ads to browsers (IIRC). The first is no longer the case, not sure about the second.
Portugal recently introduced a separate Digital Nomad visa.

In practice it's nonsense to pretend you can just turn up. You need access to the health service, you can't rent without a tax ID, your car needs to be insured, and so on. All of which require registration. And there are occasional ID checks, which will raise questions if you don't have a residency certificate.

So even if you want to live out of your car - which sounds like fun - you're still going to leave a paper trail and face some risk of awkward questions and perhaps a fine and/or deportation.
You cannot build new houses in Venice, or Amsterdam center. That's where tourists want to go, not in those new houses in the peripheries where you would forcibly relocate your citizens with the proposed housing projects.

Those are the same concerns I hear from my grandma.

Fortunately systems are designed for multi users, with sandboxes and access controls and heuristics now, and it's less of a problem for most people.

Our ability to sideload apps, or install pwa that are full featured doesn't need to affect your safe little bubble of protection. You'll be ok, I promise.
Wasn't xoshiro256+ mostly weak in the lower bits, and recommended to use to generate floating point numbers?

I suppose that this is probably indicative of a more fundamental weakness, but for reference the upper bits should be way higher quality that the Messene Twister (As that one fails PractRand while the upper bits of xoshiro256+ don't IIRC)
The Earth's atmosphere absorbs and reflects solar energy - only 48% of the solar energy reaches the surface of the planet[1]. I didn't see any mention of this on the link you provided, I don't know if that 6-9% figure includes this.

If it's not included, then the extra energy available could raise the output to an equivalent of a 12-18% efficiency cell on Earth's surface, wouldn't it?

There's a reason the government and government contractors rarely attract good developers, and when they do, they don't keep them. It's a shame.

I know someone who knows quite a bit about the military-side of this space, and we were discussing a related problem: the US's capability of ramping up war-time production if we get into a hot conflict with Russia or China. The amount of waste, bureaucracy, and cost that goes into all of our military contracts would simply have to change, or we'd be screwed.

This friend of mine thinks we'd figure it out, but I'm not so sure.
That may be true and I'm sure individual SEF employees are not to blame, but that still doesn't explain why they've made a web page with a button "Schedule Appointment" and when you press the button it says in red letters "Making an appointment online at this time is not possible" or why they have someone who seems to read emails you sent to them and chooses different replies each time, only to tell you in different ways you need to call them by phone, or why their phone system accepts calls, opens the line (as a technician by the telecom confirmed), but no machine or person actually replies.
Teaching children by virtue of work versus opening up child labor for filling in for adults are too different edges of the reality here. I also did my own fair share of work underage, but they were nothing to do with any labor shortage.
Lmao no. Eastern Europe is definitely more right wing than the US on the social axis, and this is probably also true for westies.
> why some other place than earth

again, "places" not "place". There may be billion other places so some will be more likely and some less so, by happenstance. And if it miraculously started in just one place and can spread, there you go.

They don't even have to be better, they can be just as good/bad, but that increases your chances by a billion because there are so many of them. One place just has to get lucky, that's all.

Again, I don't feel panspermia offers much, but there's the argument.
