> Food won't run short,

I hope not, but don't be so sure that this is an absolute fact of the modern world. Food being scarce is the norm in most of human history, including mass starvations within very recent, living memory.

AI code assistants, that are not ChatGPT
This is a curated list of AI development tools, there are some open source and free tools in the list I have tried rubberduck and codeium and some other handy ones like cronAI and Gitfluence. What else do you use if any?
You dont think the commercialization speed of GPT3 via CoPilot is evidence of something?

You think that was a one-off?
The question is, will this still be the case in 2, 5, 10 years. Is there a hard limit to how well these models will perform, or will we look back at "carefully, manually crafted lines of code" as we do now at punchcards.
> That's not even 10% of your military budget.

Why do you consider it a reasonable argument that more money can be spent on something because some money is spent on something else. Why stop there. Arbitrary amounts of money for every cause. Why not have government feed all the population. Like Cuba hand out beans and rice to the population.

> what does foo > * + * mean?

To be fair, this is the first time I see this but I immediately got it. So might not be as hard / innovative for no reason. I believe someone working often with CSS should be able to parse *+*, and if not, take the time it takes once to understand it. It's nothing that implicit.

Anyway please please don't pull off a React to avoid CSS, just comment your CSS instead, or find a clearer way to write it if you prefer (:not(:first-child)).

This styles documents (puts margins on paragraphs), we don't want an app for this. And even for a React app, we have a nice language to style stuff at our disposal that our browsers are incredibly efficient at evaluating, I don't think reinventing CSS in React is a good thing.

React will die before CSS anyway.
If your parents tried it as a lifestyle choice, and you yourself grow up with people bowing to statues of Lord Buddha and chanting the Heart Sutra and performing dana rituals for your school grades, then where is the inauthenticity?

It all flows together, reforming excessively strict early Hinduism, meditation in the forest, take these lessons and judge for yourself how they help, going to China with the Dhamma, going back to China for meditation lessons, bringing the practice of just sitting to the US when so few in Japan meditate, every where you look one sees traditions and insights flowing together in this great common effort to heal the suffering around and within us.

I meditate because life become impossible without it. Always now, always here, the authentic past is another category our mind creates and places into the wholeness. One cannot be an authentic first monk in California, but one can sit still with attention and silence and focus. One can be rude to other Buddhists or respectful to them.

As meditation makes it easier to see what is on its own apart from what I expected, the effects will vary depending on what one isn’t seeing clearly. So caution is warranted. Normally retraumatizing oneself isn’t helpful or skillful, but change will happen whether we fear it or long for it. Just make sure to sleep when tired and eat when hungry and pay attention within and without and it will work out.

Surely we can trust hundreds and hundreds of small business owners to be very strict about law enforcement when it pushes against their financial interests, in a country with more bikes then people.

No stolen bikes end up in shops, no siree. Yeah right.

Maybe just do the video like what they asked for, so we can all make the assessment, instead of turning it into a greasy sales pitch. Not going to lie, this response put me off completely.
Does a child stop being hungry when they turn 13? I thought they were starving to death up until aged 11/12?
I think the problem here is you're taking a personal feeling (that you want to live in a big suburban house), projecting it over a population (suggesting everyone wants to live in a big suburban house) and swatting away any disagreements (where people say they don't necessarily want to live in a big suburban house) without really taking on board what they're saying. I don't think you can be convinced to change your mind, but you should recognise that the lifestyle you're describing is unsustainable at scale - huge chunks of continental Europe would be entirely paved over if we lived this way, or even if they were just at the density of somewhere like Houston or LA.

Re "apartments really suck" - I beg to differ. I live in a 1920s apartment block in an inner-city neighbourhood, it's 50m from a school where my neighbours kids walk every day (high school is further, but they'll take the trolley or tram), there's a cafe on the corner, a couple of local pubs on my street, and a supermarket 5 mins walk away. I don't hear neighbours through the walls, we have a shared garden with an apple tree and grape vines. I walk ~10 minutes to meet friends at my local cinema, and walk my dog in a handful of different parks which are between 5 and 15 minutes walk away. Can you please explain what part of any of this "sucks" because I am personally struggling to see it.

I suspect you'll suggest that my situation is exceptional (it's not, this describes most accommodation where I live) and counter that it's possible to make a bad apartment. But really it's possible to fuck up any kind of housing development - the UK has some spectacular examples of both shit tower blocks and shit single-family dwellings last century for starters. So the difference is that those single home developments also incur a pretty stiff cost to cities, society and the environment that you cannot handwave away unless you just want to say “well I don’t mind if the rest of the world sucks, as long as I get to have a big garden”
Do Google and Microsoft include copyright comments at the top of the source files?

Absolutely not, but it's also not a binary choice between "power-mad maintainer" and "corporate management".

There's plenty of maintainers who aren't that sort of a stick in the mud (even on the Linux kernel), the problem is that the Linux kernel has a few too many entrenched ones who are basically using their position to be a bully to interested contributors. They're generally aware enough that they know that the people they get into fights with aren't likely to use any of the official processes and are more willing to put up with it.

It's more akin to "this maintainer should be replaced" rather than "the entire management is bad"; to my understanding the actually important trees (as in, the server related components, since Linux is primarily used as a server kernel) don't have these maintainers; they're mostly on the stuff that matters less like well... Sleep/Wake related things, speakers and batteries, all of which are mostly useful for desktops and laptops.
What if none of those nonsensical hypotheticals did not happen.
I've found the summarizing capabilities of ChatGPT to be very helpful when researching certain topics
Not diminishing, just making sure I understand right after looking at the readme. Is this equivalent to having all of those commands be subcommands, except you call the outer one once and then you’re dropped into a context where you don’t have to call the outer one again until you exit? Useful for commands you tend to hammer on, like any hosting CLI.

It seems like you’re not carrying any state, which is generally a great place to be. It might be nice to be able to explicitly pass in the return value from the last call as a argument to the next call. The calculator example is an obvious case. I’ve also wanted that when using many CLIs. It’s sort of like an after-the-fact pipe. If I create a server and the want to attach a database to a server, it seems like “server I created two seconds ago” is a good default. It’d be fine if I had to type _ or whatever.
This is how I would describe my experience when running a Linux distribution on a corporate laptop that was pre-configured for me to work properly. But it has yet to ever be my experience on a personally-maintained Linux laptop. And anecdotally, my coworkers who are running Linux still seem to be sinking time into stuff like "ugh, sorry, can't get my microphone working today" type stuff.

I love Linux and I'm glad so many people are happy with their setups, but it just hasn't worked flawlessly enough for me over the years.

Note: I'm specifically talking about laptops here. It has worked great for me as a mostly headless workstation and of course as a server.
If training models becomes the next big business venture, which it seems is likely, then companies doing so might pay for exclusivity rights to content that can be accurately labeled by its author. The specialist authors could also be employed during the reinforcement learning phase to evaluate the response to various prompts within a domain. AI Trainer could easily become a new profession of its own.

When I read about self-driving cars being so reliant on street signs, I can only imagine the total shitstorm they would cause in a country like my own (Brazil).
> So not sure this is really a new capability for people if they were willing to use Google's servers.

Of course it is. Google is providing the API at their largess. One day they can decide they won't do it anymore, or they will charge you huge piles of money, or they decide they don't like something about your data and they won't process it even for all the money. Or will do it but only send back nonsense to you. It is their endpoint and they do whatever they are pleased with it.

On the other hand you can take Whisper and use it on your own computer. Or rent a computer from anyone who does that kind of service. If you don't like how it performs you can refine it on your own datasets. If you have tens of thousands hours of sound files you want to convert you can just calculate what it will cost you to convert with Whisper. With google? Good luck.

The difference between running Whisper on your own hardware vs using Google's endpoint is the difference between having your own car vs the mercurial rich guy not minding if skaters hold on his taillights to hitch a ride for now.

> I've personally used AI to come up with new ideas.

It seems that you basically agree with the point being made. You are coming up with those ideas with help of ChatGPT as a tool, or is the bot coming up with ideas? If it's the latter, can we remove you from the process and achieve the same result?

I don't think so, but I am not saying this will never happen in the future, though.
The electricity-to-wheel efficiency is vastly better for EV's than by creating synthetic hydrocarbons and burning those in an ICE.
Fuck copyright
In a former role, I had some SEO responsibilities and was asked to run lots of experiments around dates on page - in the URL, in the title or first H1, in the body, in the metadata, etc. None of them seemed to make a material difference. I suspect Google uses its own first crawl as a created date, and has some minimum threshold for last updated date that's at least somewhat contextually aware, and that just swapping a date out is done so often automatically that it's not used as a signal. YMMV with other search engines, of course.
I was 2 months into the practice and I started getting delusions and paranoia. And I still don't know why.

But I can say for sure that I am able to replicate the experience if I start meditating.
Yes and no. I enjoy getting personal tasks done in the morning before work, especially those that require a sharp mind. Like you mentioned, I feel worn out mentally and the end of the day, though I find I'm happier and more productive overall if I save a few sharp-minded hours in the early morning for myself.
Mindfulness is the new agile. Every criticism is deflected with “you’re not doing it right”.

Is this in the same parallel universe I keep reading about where all modern phones don't have headphone jacks? Because every smartphone I've ever owned has had both.

> I literally don't see an advantage to owning a M1 besides better resolution (why people want a trillion pixels on their screen I don't get also. I can see perfectly fine without 4K) and build quality.

I don't know how the TP screens look, but for me, I'd want a mac because text looks much, much better than on my laptop.

Note that I'm comparing an almost 10 yo MBP (late 2013 15" retina) to a late 2021 HP. The latter's colors and viewing angles are comically bad, but even leaving that aside, text is not as sharp as on the MBP. And actually, shitty colors do make it less comfortable in the long run. I have to pump up the contrast on screen elements to tell them apart. Plus, the current trend of ulta-skinny fonts doesn't help either, and produces an ungodly rainbowy mess, especially on darker backgrounds.

And don't even get me started on that HP's cousin, an almost 2000 € computer (with middle of the road specs, not some ridiculously specced beast) that has a 6 bit panel, and is basically unable to display darker oranges.
In my city, they lured in drivers with fat incentives, then encouraged them to buy new cars - even partnering up with lenders to offer loans with low/zero down payment. Of course, the incentives dried up and drivers were left with expensive cars they couldn't pay for unless they worked 12-14 hour shifts.

I have zero sympathy for this godawful exploitative company. If the world didn't see them with the rose-tinted tech shades, they would have the same reputation something like Nestle has - a greedy, reckless, and exploitative corporation.

I call bullshit, every McD always served chicken in the southern and western India. I know a few people who work on the corporate side of things.

You can find beef too in many parts of southern India, but it will most likely to be buffalo meat. Kerala has all sorts of meats iirc.
There's a rather big difference between hiking and meditating. Solitary hikers in general hike, they don't spend their time trying to lose their sense of self.
I can not speak about how it would work with an MBP but the SSD replacing is a huge factor if you need it.

4 weeks ago we had to deliver a build of our game to Meta and 2 days before the deadline my laptop died out of the blue. I scrambled to buy a new one (didn't care which as long as it had enough oomph and I could source locally quickly).

I went for a Lenovo Legion 5 ( or 7, I am actually not sure, it doesn't have a sticker on it and I don't have the box anymore :) )

First thing I did was void the warranty by popping it open, installing the ssd from the other laptop and 30 minutes after unpacking the whole thing I continued working where I left off when the other one broke ( not literally since it was not suspended to disk but you get the meaning)

The machine is actually quite nice and I am, so far, happy with it, but the whole experience was so incredibly easy that I would not want to go for any non linux machine.

Although the article didn't say which stickers were used - they __implied__ that the signs shown fooled the vehicles but they didn't state it explicitly. Who knows, maybe they stuck 65 mile/hour speed limit sign over a stop sign.
That's because it wasn't, for normal people.
Doing intensive meditation retreats is a Navy Seal hell-week for your mind. If people took that into consideration, they would be better prepared for the results.

It's much better to start with a simple meditation practice or go on a shorter retreat (1-3 days), build up a base and periodically dip your feet in deep waters. There are too many people in the west who treat it like an extreme sport and get burned out in the process.

It reminded me of when Tim Ferris decided to go on a 10-day meditation retreat after a multi-day fast and almost had a full mental breakdown.
It will be a game of cat and mouse between the search companies and the regulators. I am sure it needs to be "clear" it is an advertisement. However, this can be done in several ways, some too subtle for the regulator's taste.

It adds noise to the "last updated" timestamp. Yes, you can always find the last substantial update to the file, but now it's not as up front.

It's not a huge cost, but it's a cost nonetheless.
Electricity from solar panels is not "limitless" in any meaningful sense of the word. Solar panels deliver a limited amount of power per area. They require a non-zero area of land and non-zero resources for construction and maintainance, so you can't build and install an arbitrary amount of them.
It’s not you. It should indeed have been “trial” and it is a typo.

Inside the article the word trial appears:

>OP has not stated this directly but come very close, implying that members of race X, for whom their race is part of their identity, will support opinion Y if such is preferential to members of their race.

You've just described demographic research.

Prejudice is defined as such:

preconceived opinion that is not based on reason or actual experience.

>At its core this is still prejudiced. Op has thrown a zillion cultural confounders and nuances to the wind and presented an argument based totally on race.

Reductive perhaps, but not prejudice.
I know people who really need to get up early because the morning is their most productive part of the day by a really huge margin. They start yawning around 1-2 pm to really drive the point home. Their circadian rhythm seems heavily stacked towards the early game.

I work night shifts, some of the early birds are insanely dumb after 3 am, insanely dumb compared to who they are the rest of the day. I see one student of higher education put down his a tool and turn around for 3 seconds then panic wondering where they put it. Not one time! I see him do that hundreds of times. I keep a mental map of where I see him put stuff so that I can remind him or answer when asked. They had plenty of rest, they work hard. It's supper funny to me because I'm a bit like that before 11 am. I'm physically there, if someone asks me to do something my mind makes a raw audio recording of it that I often revisit later to parse out what it was they actually said. In school I've aced tests with 100% questions I consciously knew nothing about. You have to picture it, its hilarious, I read a question about a topic I've never seen before, 5 seconds later I apparently know the answer to the question. I know the difference in file format, recalling unparsed information comes with a lot of irrelevant data about the moment the teacher explained the topic. After 1 pm I only retain the relevant parts, those files contain almost no information about when I learned it, their attachments are my own thoughts.

Of course at times I have to condition myself for morning productivity, I can for example get up at 4 am if I need my brain at 9:00. I can go to bed early, at exactly the same time, rest the body/eyes and think about life for a few hours. It works but it feels wrong, it screams wrong.

I did a hilarious experiment one time where I went to bed at 17:30 straight after work and set the alarm at 1 am. It felt perfect but had negative social implications.

Maybe its a cool idea for a startup. It seems one hell of a perk from my perspective.

Given that Google dropped most of the need to use AMP in 2021:

Linux doesn't keep you from having to update packages.

I agree that there is all this software tedium as well, that I'd much prefer to eliminate, but it sadly exists across all platforms.

But that's not what I'm talking about here. I'm talking about time spent getting and keeping hardware working properly, writing stuff into x11 or networking config files, that sort of thing. I have always found myself doing significantly more of that when running Linux (specifically on a laptop) than I have any interest doing anymore.
