> based on our current social customs, where authenticity and genuine effort is expected in these sorts of communications

I work at a university and I expect exactly zero authenticity and genuine effort in any communication from administrators. It's sad boy not surprising that they would find a seat warmer for a that position.
Make that three decades ago. In 1992 I was using a utility called VGADISK to create a 176K ramdisk in the VGA memory - this was on a 286 "laptop" (rather a luggable) with 1MB of RAM, and allowed me to fit entire programs in there as long as they didn't use VGA graphics (which would instantly corrupt the content of the ramdrive).

Still online thanks to http://www.retroarchive.org/garbo/pc/memutil/index.html - a whopping 8KB zip archive, so about 30 seconds on my 2400bps modem (assuming V42 or MNP4)

the conversion (between crypto and fiat) is the problem. you can't convert more than a couple hundred euros without KYC.

>How exactly do you measure what is what on crypto with mixers and anonymous currencies?

you add up all the transactions on the blockchain and subtract all the transactions connected to wallets of centralized exchanges.

>you mean via Bitcoin? You know there are other coins.

"god of the gaps."

tl;dr: you originally claimed there is nothing we can know (and that therefore we should assume without evidence that money laundering via crypto is a huge problem). but there are a few things we can know.
Is this an attempt at reinventing queue theory?

In the US it was called queue theory, in the USSR it was known as mass service theory.

The thing is, there were no queues in the US and no mass service in the USSR.
I like using `rails middleware` as an example because it's true, tons of things in that list are important.

A good example of this is: Rack::MethodOverride

Try making your non-JS server rendered view functions and HTML form submissions handle PUT, PATCH and DELETE. Depending on which lightweight alternative to Rails you're using this can become very tricky and you end up spending an entire day of Googling and maybe finding a questionable solution instead of having that available without thinking about it.
Wealth inequality is the overhead cost of running capitalism. It isn't a very large cost given the cost of all alternative systems we have tried, especially since regulations can greatly reduce the wealth inequality without losing the benefits of capitalism.

Autodesk has gone out of their way to destroy free F360. I finally quit when you had to reload the free version with a new account every 30 days. Forcing Eagle into F360 was just evil. Trying to use either is the hobbits being shown Frodo's clothes levels of anguish and despair.

This may make me look at Blender again (too hard to learn at the time). Designspark Mechanical isn't too bad if you have become an F360 refugee.

But has it really been only the now-absent lira rollercoaster that kept the economy afloat? I'm far from convinced that an independent currency would have been a decisive advantage in dealing with the economic challenges of the recent decades, they might even be in a worse position without the euro (not speculating that they would, just refusing to take the other outcome as a given)
The issue is, what else would we call the rock that does all the things a CPU does? If we can socket it into the motherboard and play games on it, what makes it so different?

We still arrive at concensus based on a (more or less free) market. Weights on this market are heavily skewed to the top, that's true.

You must have used some very very shitty AC vacuums.

I have a dyson v6 and a nilfisk x150 - the nilfisk motor is 1600 watts, they aren't even in the same ballpark suction power wise.

Without the motor brush head the v6 is pretty useless even in turbo mode.
I'm not awake/invested enough to make up numbers and do the math here, but shouldn't the cost for provisioning workers and value provided at various latencies matter? Like, each worker you provision costs a certain amount and shifts the latency distribution towards zero by a certain amount, and in principle there should be some function that converts each distribution to a dollar value.

Like, suppose you had a specific service level agreement that requires X% of requests to be served within Y seconds over some time interval, and breaking the SLA costs Z dollars. Each provisioning level would generate some distribution of latencies, which can get turned into likelihood of meeting the SLA, and from there you can put a dollar value on it. And crucially, this allows the "ideal" amount of provisioning to vary based off the relative cost of over and under-provisioning; if workers are cheap and breaking the SLA is costly, you would have more workers than if the SLA is relatively unimportant and workers are expensive.
> this moment gives us all an opportunity to reflect on what we know and what we still must learn about AI.”

Students take large loans, so the university can pay all these administrators, who can be plausibly replaced with a simple call to ChatGPT. Heck, ChatGPT would have shown more compassion and understanding writing the apology following the incident.

They should fire their admin staff, replace them with ChatGPT and give students a discount. Everyone wins!

Why "of course"? I don't think it is yet but it's clearly gone past the point of "of course".

You can't dismiss it as "just autocomplete" or "just software" like this author does, as if there's some special sauce that we know only animals have that allows us to be sentient.

In all likelihood sentience is an emergent property of sufficiently complex neural networks. It's also clearly a continuum.

Given that, and the fact that we don't even know what sentience is or what creates it, you'd have to be a total idiot to say that ChatGPT definitely is 0% sentient.
hired artists interpret their client's instructions all the time (concept art, game art, movie art, etc.).

I cannot disagree with this comment any more, I hire creative people to help me to create things which isn't in my skillset. I don't hire them to tell them what I want entirely. Sometimes I'd at least describe what I want, but often they will say, well that's good but how about...

That is a huge part of the value add for me personally. If I knew what I wanted, half the battle would be one, AI or not.

> Any case, the earlier commenter is not assuming cis people are terrible and transphobic and whatever.

It's worse than that. It assumes x people, by virtue of belonging to x group, actively perpetuate x-group-favouring-biases.

Otherwise, your comment is reasonable.

> degrading

I disagree with the degrading, as I am talking directly to the commenter by showing them how I react to what they commented. Did you miss a "hello dear x, (...), best, ominous"?

> patronizing (telling people how they should behave), (...), and from a clear place of closed-mindedness

I see what you mean, but I have no problems with that. I am not advocating that one is patronizing nor close-minded, nor do I consider myself as such. But if the reaction to "whites together are oppressors excluding the oppressed and perpetuating a status quo that favours whites" cannot be patronizing, what reaction do you allow?

It won't surprise you that from the countless impressions this "signal" for progressivism made on my screens, I reply to very little. This Sunday morning I took some time to do it. You read it, and start to focus on the form of it, the timing, what it may mean, etc, as if you saw me engaging this all the time.
The poster I replied to, on the other hand, is like that full time. Read this bit [0]. The user is educated in these matters, backed by scholarship. It's a whole worldview. It's not the intuitively "You'll be making constant calculations on whether it's safe to show public displays of affection with your partner, or simply appear an act like you want to. The fears are exaggerated of course (we are all creatures of caution), but not unfounded, depending on where you live." that creatures of caution have, but rather a whole domain of knowledge that accumulates justifications for behaviours.

It isn't a scared person hiding in the comfort of a safe space. It is a culture learning to hate.

> So yes, short-term, it's nice to escape to a place where you don't have to do that. Long-term, it's healthier to not autosegregate, both for the queer and non-queer person. It helps normalise things.

So let's say that the entire world is index funds (plus the stocks they own). An index fund has "too much cash", so they buy stocks. Some other index fund sees that the price is attractive, and sells, but then that fund has too much cash.

But the funds each keep some amount (1%?) of their assets in cash. So isn't the net result that stock prices go up until the value of the stock is 99 times the amount of cash in the system?

More generally, then, doesn't the price of assets go up until the participants are comfortable with that much cash as part of their asset mix?
I think not. We should have more transparency in the economy. Money of the stock market is a nice carrot. It already forces companies to be more transparent. I think we should bump up the transparency requirements.

The main issue he wanted to avoid (trees falling on lines) still seems to be there.

Looking at past outages, I feel like given a certain budget, you would get much better uptime with two or more diverse (i.e. not "two fibers going exactly the same path") residential providers than with one commercial one, and for anything but the most critical projects, that's the way to go IMO.

Most importantly though, anything really really important that is so important to use custom fibers should be designed so it also works over the public Internet. Unless degraded service is worse than no service, it doesn't matter that the Internet is theoretically not reliable enough/doesn't provide enough guarantees - at least keep it as a backup so that when a backhoe takes out your custom fiber, you can switch over to the VPN instead of shutting down air traffic at one of Europe's largest airports.

Seems like another major reason for the decision here were SLO/SLAs. Those seem rather meaningless. The residential ISP will not try to max out their 95% SLO - an ISP that's down 1.5 days every month or leaves you offline for 18 days wouldn't be very popular. The commercial SLOs, on the other hand, sound great but they're not magic. If the issue can't be fixed in that time, they will be violated, and you'll typically get a credit for a few months of service - money that you wouldn't have spent in the first place if you just went with residential.

In the end, he still has countless single points of failure, e.g. the above-ground fiber line waiting for a tree, or a non-redundant power supply that he can't easily replace himself. Sure, he has an SLO, but with a dual uplink residential (which is cheaper), a CPE ("modem"/router) failure wouldn't be an outage in a first place.
Given the word soup emails sent by most university administrators, ChatGPT is probably an upgrade.
The GSM modem will need a SIM card with your number on it to work. Unless you can obtain an anonymous one, but I believe that is almost impossible in most countries.

Don’t know where you live, but here in NC propane is around $3.32 per gallon[0], equivalent to $3.60 per therm. My last natgas bill was $1.38/therm, almost a third the cost. In fact, propane is much closer in cost (per BTU equivalent) to fuel oil than natural gas.

That's reasonable and I agree. And I am happy that you find it.

I do not assume you want to fully isolate. But you stated that when white people gather in a white supremacist culture, that is not ok. Neither is the culture homogeneus enough to be called "white supremacist", nor are white people to be prevented from gathering just by the fact that they are white.

Note: replace white with whatever other category du jour. Cis, non-vegan, right-handed, etc.
I really should have reviewed this properly! ;p
We're talking about digital art and it would actually piss me off (a lot) if I didn't have original copies of the art I paid for to be modifiable later. Especially if I was using the work commercially.

I can of course imagine a situation where I might be able to get a PSD file or vector from DALL-E, but honestly I can't imagine myself sitting there telling DALL-E how I want it to modify my PSD in minute details, I'd just pay someone to do it.

This is where I think there is a practical misunderstanding when people talk about this subject, there is a lot of fiddly work and minutia that goes on with art which I just think people don't realize.

I’ve noticed ChatGPT becoming so bad that I only ever use it to see if they have improved it - but it’s always worse than the previous time. It can’t remember more than a thousand or two tokens now, but in saying that it can simply forget things I have just asked it 50 tokens ago.

I didn’t test this out out thoroughly, but when I VPN’d in to USA it did seem to work much better for me. But I also created an account at that time so it had no traces back to the UK. I don’t know, but I think some proper study into whether non-USA users are being given a more limited, degraded version of ChatGPT could be worth considering - I really really want to be wrong about this one.

> seems like drawing skills will go the way of the horse and carriage.

The exact same thing happened to technical drafters when CAD destroyed the entire (sub-)industry.

And to typesetting, for that matter[1].

Which is a pity in the human sense and the sense that both were forms of artistry and produced things of great beauty, both the product and the machines used to enable them, but they're simply not economical in the face of Solidworks and digital composition. And yet the replacement technologies have also enabled a lot more creativity and further advances. Objects with complex geometries are now possible to specify and manufacture, when they previously could not even be accurately drawn.

I don't think it's a one-way flow. Here's a company that makes, say, cars. And here's a company that invests. Money flows into the investment company and away from the car company. At some point, the rate of return on the car company starts looking good enough that even the investors notice. At that point, at least some money comes back.

Now, you may say that net "well-being" of society will go up if we make more cars and fewer investments in financial firms. (In the end, you can't eat money.) But where the line should be drawn is going to depend very sensitively on your definition of "well-being". That's not an easy question to answer, even before politics gets involved.

The point of kubernetes is that its APIs all the way down, controlled by a central loop.

Its not that we can not know the uuids or names of containers, its that we usually do not even need them. Hardware problems are reduced to Node levels and workloads are completely replaceable. So in essence Kubernetes is a vendor neutral "vm server creator".

In any bare-metal scenario i prefer the approach to provision the cluster itself with terraform or ansible, because i am able to point at hardware itself, but otherwise the whole point of having multiple servers is to scale. I can also still have the same attachment to a lovely server without naming it peter. Stuff happens. at some point you need to take down a node or two. What happens here is up to you.

I also understand that everything is possible if you script it enough, but there again we are basically just talking to an API server for the workloads.
Even in traditional system admin vs cloud admin teams, each can focus on what they are good at in the same way your hardware should be separate from your software.

The harsh reality as far as I can tell is that the prospect of making a living as an artist, which was already slim if we are being honest, has now shrunk to near zero.
