I share the sentiment. Reality is often physical businesses now require visiting their website, sometimes even in person, and they just don't work unless the browser is Chromium based.

Literally today I had to upload a drivers license in person yet on my phone to rent a truck. Of course Firefox failed, and even Chrome glitched, yet Chrome could be made to work with it's alternate uploader.

Meta: I missed my edit window, and apologize for the reply on my own post here.

Soon, I will just start asking them to input something that takes work: "Please input $0.57, thank you SO MUCH!"[0]

I expect the "custom amount" button to go away, at which point I will say something about making sure the average amount is about what I wanted to pay, and that means skipping some tips, and paying others, and oh by the way can you make a note of that. Is your manager here... Sorry about that, but getting this stuff right is really important...

This is all a really craptastic game I would rather not play.[1]

[0] I expect someone to get it wrong, or try and skate out on that little bit of work. Hoo boy! "Nope, let's make sure it is right please. Yeah, go back, hit custom, and yes $0.57 please. Yeah, you got it! Thank you!"

[1] Like the check your bags Nazi they forced some poor soul to be. What I ended up doing was to get a gift receipt.

Then, as I am walking right out with the stuff they have my money for, I hand it to them, "Here, please hold on to this for me, thanks!"
I use both in different applications. Overall SES is no-frills but does exactly what it says it will. Deliverability is on par with SendGrid assuming your traffic is legitimate and not spammy.

The main difference is that SES lacks significant tooling. You need to roll your own monitoring, logging and block list maintenance, all of which can be a surprise coming from tools like SendGrid. Once you do all the work though, it’s largely set it and forget it.
This right here has probably been the best defense and explanation of nepotism I’ve ever read. And it’s kinda scary.

I don't buy it. You seem to be contending that the second NID is just a fancy transciever between fibers. But both boxes almost certainly have QSFP or some such, could input or output whatever fiber the job calls for. Quibbling about fiber types as an excuse for having two boxes seems absurd.

Your assertion also seems contested by the words in this post:

> Dispatch 5: NID #2 install. This is where I began to see the distinction between Verizon Telecom (VzT) and Verizon Business (VzB). While the layer 1 infrastructure had been installed and tested, there still remained the IP layer, which required another dispatch for another technician to install a dedicated NID for Verizon Business -- a Ciena 3903, with 1310nm single mode optics.

It does mention a different fiber connection, but to me, this is describing each layer of the stack having both it's own organizational unit & it's own physical box that it manages.
A grey or black market in otherwise legal products is the result of a too-low retail price. This all gets solved if Rolex raises their prices to whatever the current, correct, market- clearing price is.

Same with concert tickets, for example. Scalping goes away with higher regular retail prices.
"Last chance" describes both the way it was introduced to me by my medical team, and the circumstances around my SCT. I don't know how factually accurate it is, but my medical team had said there's about a 30% mortality rate caused by the SCT within about 90 days. (And, prior to chemotherapy ceasing to work, I'd been repeatedly reassured by medical staff with "chemo sucks but it isn't gonna kill you like a stem cell transplant would!")
Sure, "winning" is just short-hand for "avoid having..." you're using. The point is, either way - if you're willing to fight and die for it, you're going to be willing to lie for it. So as someone far away, I have to assume that everything I am seeing is someone's preferred spin on it, and that I have no way to decide what's what.
Of course they need to test it straight on the battlefield. When they try to test it somewhere else something like this happens:

It's in Ubuntu's Universe repository. That means it's usually just the upstream Debian package or one maintained by the community rather than Ubuntu itself.

Ubuntu's podman 3.4 was pulled from Debian Unstable at some point (Debian Stable is still on 3.0?). It looks like Debian Testing has 4.3, so they're probably waiting to just use that from Debian Stable in Ubuntu Lunar rather than the community maintaining their own version.

In features, directors are the ultimate creative authority. But in a series, the showrunner is, and the showrunner is usually a writer --- most series have episodic directors (and often episodic writers, or at least a member of the writer's room credited for each episode), and because the showrunner has the top-down view of the whole series, the show bible, and has made all the decisions about tone and style that directors will rely on, they end up calling many of the shots a feature director would ordinarily call.

It's probably not really so much that television values story more than film than that the episodic structure of television lends itself to this kind of system.

This seems to be a corporate version of what I’ve witnessed: large groups of people getting together in vacation rentals or studios at writing camps and breaking off into small groups, each writing around a theme and passing ideas around fairly democratically, in a messy, creative, communal way. Then sharing and layering later. That leads to lots of contributors to one work of art, as they all reach for the best way to tell a story and fit it to a musical vibe that enhances it (or the other direction, it takes all kinds of approaches).

Never a whiteboard, so if that’s literally true I guess that environment would make me sad and disillusioned too, and I’m sorry your friend was dealing with it. But it’s certainly not the only model!
While "computer science has as much to do with computers as astronomy does with telescopes", I fear that it's become too inexorably bound to computers and too dependent on its foundation in the maths. As a result CS is seen as sort of a fancier software developer/engineering field and not a field that's about theories of computation.

I think CS has the potential to reframe a huge number of fields and offer a different or unique take on how those fields might approach problems. e.g. a chemical reaction could be reframed as a computation that takes inputs and produces outputs. Biology, economics, finance, psychology, etc. could take on entirely new aspects if viewed through a computational lens. I also think that such a lens could enable higher-order multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and ultimately convergent efforts [1] by simplifying the reasoning across disciplines -- defeating barriers while allowing disparate experts to work better together. CS has also developed a number of very powerful tools for encoding, aggregating, abstracting, executing, and validating the collective thoughts of massive numbers of individual contributors -- I'm not sure any other discipline is able to organize millions of atomic computational steps, all provided by people who have never met, test them, build them, and execute them.

Imagine needing to develop a complex system, one that might draw from dozens of disciplines and have millions of atomic steps to achieve, and the entire effort is organized under atomic instructions that each drive some step, but they could come from any discipline. We (Computer Scientists) have already figured out how to manage that complexity fairly reliably, version it, change it, etc. "Build a car" could be source code somewhere in a repository, and when you need to make one you "execute it" and suddenly mines in Brazil start extracting ore, fabs in Korea start making touch screens, and in a little while you get a car. Somebody could decide to adjust how the blinker works, push the change, it gets reviewed, unit tests "run" in some blinker factory somewhere, and now the future versions of those cars get the change.

> I would rather create 128 threads that each call compileSourceFile() than spawn 128 subprocesses that do the same thing.

Would you rather write "compileSourceFile()" in a reentrant way (ie: no global variables, no static variables, guaranteed reentrancy, and other such requirements to work in a typical pthread manner)... or would you rather have processes where all those things are fine and not bugs?

The minute you start up threads with implicitly shared memory spaces... the minute "singleton pattern" suddenly grows complex.

> The question you should be asking is: do I need my task to execute in a seperate address space? If yes, spawn a subprocess, otherwise use a thread.

On the contrary. Separate address spaces by default is far easier. Thread#45 going crazy due to buffer-overflows will demolish thread#25.

But process#45 with a buffer-overflow will not affect process#25.

I/O is also grossly simplified inside the process model. Closing out a process closes() all sockets, pipes, and file I/O automatically, no matter how the process dies. (Ex: Segfaults, kill -9, etc. etc. are all handled gracefully).

If one thread dies, for whatever reason, your program is extremely hosed. Its very difficult to reason where the legitimate state of your multithreaded data-structures is in.

Threads are far more efficient, yes. So if you need efficiency, use them. But most people in my experience are Python or PHP programmers (or other such high level language), where it is clear that performance isn't an issue.
Thanks for the link! Seems pretty much like what I’m looking for.
Sounds like a decent thought to me.
Sure, but that doesn't define advertising. I really like useful ads, and I've gotten some very nice products that I simply hasn't heard about before through advertising.

I also dislike the modern "you already know about this beer, but drinking it will surround you with swedish bikini models" type of ad, but something like YNAB's simple "Hey, you need a budget" is awesome, because you do, indeed, need a budget.

> ...if you're, say, McDonald's, you can't say a hamburger is $3.00 in your TV ad because it'll be $3.18 in Michigan, and $3.30 in California...

That really sounds like a McDonalds problem. Why should everyone put up with a bait and switch so huge companies can have an easier time advertising? If they need to advertise a 3$ burger all over the country, then they should be ready to pay the cost differences of providing that burger everywhere.
I certainly see your point. There are still things about Linux that are so much better than on MacOS. For example: window shading, easier to start programming on, built-in package manager, not creating ._ files on external drives, not having the terminal restricted to certain directories, not having the mouse touchpad have a delay for click n' drag.

In fact, I'd probably still be on Linux if it weren't for the fact that I shifted from programming to content creation and certain apps like Davinci Resolve and some photography apps work better on MacOS, and it's impossible to get M1 performance (especially in a laptop) with Linux at the price of an M1 laptop.

Its answers were consistent with one version of the story, where Ana was trying to make a small talk and ended up committing a faux pas (which was commonly played in sitcoms such as Sienfeld, Friends, and countless others). There's another version, where Ana's a b#@ch and wants to take Maria down a notch by pointing out that she gained weight. First version is more charitable to Ana and looks like the bot went with it. I don't see any inconsistencies.

That's again being too pedantic. No point at all in technological process if that were true. Clearly we take actions in getting better because we predict it will be better based off of common sense metrics.

If I eliminate genetic defects from society, society will be better. If I cure cancer, society will be better. If I cure smallpox, society will be better. Or should I use philosophical pedantism to question the smallpox vaccine?

Again you're using very broad, extremely pedantic logic in attempt to keep your logical scaffold of the world consistent with morality. That is human bias 101. Why are you using this line of thought for small pox and not for eugenics.

It's obvious why. Becuase eugenics has a sacrifice of lesser cost then the cost of inaction. But our morality isn't evolved enough to deal with cost benefit analysis. We go with only zero cost solutions only because our moral instincts are simplistic.

But this is also not the main point. The main point is basically how hard it was for you to separate the analysis from the morality. You couldn't. You had to target eugenics specifically with overly pedantic logic in order to keep your logic consistent with your morals.

I'm not a particular fan of agile but the article goes a bit far and appears to be a critique of a poorly implemented agile methodology with inadequate resources.

Having a smooth and well organised release cadence is a good idea. Obviously skipping strategy and UI work is a bad idea. These tasks need to be done in parallel and inform each well thought-out sprint.
My comment was facetious satire illustrating that productivity increases, not cartels, are the key to rising wages.

The headline doesn't reflect an aspect of this that the article calls out: it being used as a tool by upper classes, to keep lower classes in their place.

With that in mind, a "gossip" might be someone who speaks an unflattering truth about an upper class person. A "narcissist" might be someone who presumes to affect some symbol of an upper class, or otherwise disrespects an upper class person.
The genius of da Vinci was developing the skill as a draftsman so that if he could imagine something, represent it, and reason about it, he could bring it almost fully into being much faster than actually having to build it. That drafting skill let him iterate much faster than a domain specialist tinkerer.

It seems disingenuous to say that this is Eliza on steroids. They operate in fundamentally different ways, no?

I definitely agree with the premise that the current state of the art isn't at all AGI, but it seems almost self-evident to me that LLMs are a key piece of the puzzle on the road to AGI. Eliza was never going to have that kind of trajectory, but LLMs I think you could certainly make that argument for.
I remember being a student. Never cheated because of ethics, not because I cared about learning (I did care). If I had a different ethics view I would’ve cheated as a means to an end and continued to try to learn as much as I could.

I guess my point is you can care about learning as well as care for your scores (by cheating) simultaneously.

It really is basically normal: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7296391/

From 2011 to 2016, overall life expectancy at 21 years of age for individuals with HIV infection who initiated ART at a CD4 cell count of 500/μL or greater was 57.4 years (95% CI, 55.7-59.1 years) and for uninfected adults was 64.2 years (95% CI, 64.0-64.4 years), corresponding to a difference of 6.8 years (95% CI, 5.0-8.5 years)

The risk profile for a full bone marrow transplant for treating HIV vs HAART for a difference of ~5-9 years is just not there.

I've had some business in Los Angeles over the years - not much, but I got there off and on. Depending on the airport you're flying into, depending on the landing approach your plane takes, and depending on what side of the plane you're seated on, the sign can come into view and it is quite large in the distance. I don't think I ever got over the thrill of seeing it - it is just so iconic - I really don't have the words to describe it.
Because the problem isn't "chatgpt can write science fiction". The problem is that chatgtp can generate spam that's not easily filterable from genuine science fiction submissions without investing human effort, so the site is having a problem with spam and they have to close the submission channel.
At Voyager's speed it would take approximately 749,000,000 years to reach Canis Major Dwarf. OpenAI was founded in 2015. So it has been eight years. 749,000,000 - 8 = 748,999,992. 1.06809079e-8% of the time of a random astronomical time; rounded, that is about, uh, 0.00%ish.

I mean, don't get me wrong. It is a very expensive project. It just isn't astronomical. Anyone reading this and thinking - oh I could never do that even in hundreds of millions of years - that would be wrong. If you won the lottery or just made good financial decisions you could do a project comparable to this instead of getting a very nice house in the Bay Area.

I wouldn't read sweeping conclusions into it. I think it's more that most people's instincts suffice for dealing with those aspects, so he doesn't need to write about them as much; he hints at that in calling the "sexy" jobs a refuge from writing. Or just that story is more directly relevant to the part or stage of TV-making he's writing about.
The most cost-effective and realistic solution would be for the IRS to simply buy TurboTax AND all its competitors and make one of them the free e-file system. No way a government project could come close to building such a thing for less than the cost of the acquisitions.

Arguably it would impact the support for other OSes, especially alternative ones who'd need to reverse engineer the workaround and/or write their own to get the network stack working.

It could also fall apart the day Apple decides this machine is not supported anymore, and their next OS won't have the correct drivers anymore. It's their prerogative, but will sure suck for the machine owners.
I've really enjoyed joining a local volunteer fire company.

Otherwise I'll just sit at home working remote on solo projects all day, so responding to a call or two a day gets me (running) out of the house, and after the call we usually sit around the station and shoot the breeze for a while which is fun. When I get bored of that, I walk back home and get back to work. Sure it's hard work, but that really helps balance the tedium of just pushing tiny plastic buttons for 12+ hours a day.

I'm so tired of hearing this non-answer as to why the LLM is inferior to the human mind. Well of course it's figuring out what the next word needs to be, what do you think humans are doing when they're speaking???

The funniest thing about all this hoopla about sentient AI is that there's no good way to determine what intelligence is, or sentience, or consciousness, because there's no precise definition for any of these. So one person can call LLM sentient and another non-sentient and both can be right since they'd be going by their own definitions.

One thing is certain, we want to keep this thing as far away from the nuke launch codes as possible cause we kinda already know how this will end. :-(
