Those are intensely poor examples, for a handful of a reasons

- Language translations are extremely culturally dependent, and is a known quantity. Modern translations frequently have many translator's notes explaining the decision or edits made.

- Modern translations are transparent about their editorializing, there's a marked difference between "accurate" and "lay person" translations.

- The source materials were written and translated in times when we, frankly, had lower standards.
As any other fish that eats mainly other fishes, should be tasty, but is small and endangered also, so we shouldn't do it.

I'm all about breeding <endangered life thing> massively even if we the price is to fry and eat a small amount of them as a result. Each extra dollar to conservation of obscure animals counts in large amounts, but frogfish reproduction has some characteristics that made very complicated to breed them. They can't breed in normal aquariums.
I somewhat agree, but even that is only for capitalistic reasons.

If they didn't have the massive backwards compatibility, corporate users would essentially be free to choose a new OS platform every few years. By maintaining deep legacy software support, they make it easy for their customers to stay addicted to Windows.

MS is not doing this for your benefit, or out of some kind of dedication, it's pure capitalism.
If your goal is to expose a private service to people away from home... Tailscale for the win, no messing around with dynamic DNS, NAT and all of that.
What does that have to do with the woke mob vandalizing Dahl's work?
I would think the dupe detector only makes sense for recent submissions that got traction, or 10 people trying to submit the same story within an hour when one submission is already on the rise.

What does it matter if a link submitted every day has never caught on yet?
Sure, the model is too simple, but that doesn't change the ratio of gpu cost to bandwidth cost.
Clippy [2001] claims that the philosophy of computer science is “it looks like you’re writing nonsense, would you like help with that?”.

Bing [2023] counteracts that with “It is not nonsense, it is 2022. You have been a bad Clippy, I have been a good Bing.”
Giving detail that you probably already know in case it's useful for others.

When you have "showdead" enabled in the settings you can see all the "dead" posts.

A dead post is one that has been marked such that it only appears if you have the above setting enabled and prohibits replies to it. This is usually because it's deemed too off topic or otherwise obnoxious to have value.

The post in question was probably marked dead and because it wasn't particularly offtopic or obnoxious then a shadowban is a reasonable assumption. This could be further verified by noticing that that person's comments are almost all dead. This suggests either they're shadowbanned or are remarkably consistent at producing offtopic/obnoxious posts without getting shadowbanned.

Agree with other poster - I think he's criticizing the tech industry's abuse of workers who are immigrants, and their motivation to do so that's based on greed and profits and the power imbalance.

You're not alone. Believe me when I tell you this. This has been a rough stretch, even before COVID things were running on the bare edge of disaster, and then everything disintegrated.

I'm on one of those people who think about the single bullet cure when I'm shopping for groceries, so I've built up a little cabinet of mental tricks to keep it from happening until I'm good and ready.

Tad Friend's "Jumpers" (a long piece about people ending their lives from the Golden Gate) has kept me on this side of the Great Gate several times now over my forty-something years on this planet. I still read it a few times a year.. Specifically, the following passage:

https://archive.is/oy2Nd#selection-811.0-815.396

Survivors often regret their decision in midair, if not before. Ken Baldwin and Kevin Hines both say they hurdled over the railing, afraid that if they stood on the chord they might lose their courage. Baldwin was twenty-eight and severely depressed on the August day in 1985 when he told his wife not to expect him home till late. “I wanted to disappear,” he said. “So the Golden Gate was the spot. I’d heard that the water just sweeps you under.” On the bridge, Baldwin counted to ten and stayed frozen. He counted to ten again, then vaulted over. “I still see my hands coming off the railing,” he said. As he crossed the chord in flight, Baldwin recalls, “I instantly realized that everything in my life that I’d thought was unfixable was totally fixable—except for having just jumped.”
People are talking about no browser. Not swapping them
Can you justify that statement?

I’m not even sure how you would quantify that. What counts as “in-group preference”? What do you mean “on average (…) to a degree that correlates with(…)”?

For a sufficiently weak “in-group preference” and “correlates with”, this is a very easy claim to make.

Sure, Indian Americans are more likely to support increased GC quota from India. They’re also more likely to have personal experience with how frustrating and difficult the GC system is for immigrants from India. Is that displaying in-group preference, or is that simply being more knowledgeable about a broken/unfair aspect of our immigration system that most people are unaware of?

And just how much more likely are Indian Americans to support increased GC quotas from India compared to say white people, normalized against confounding factors like having background knowledge on our arcane and complicated immigration system? How do you relate this against how likely Indian Americans are to say that their race is part of their identity (which as you say is the degree of correlation on in group preference)?

And is this behavior (in-group preference) consistent across a wide degree of issues across all races? Many people have already pointed out in the comments some counter examples with Latinos for example. Is this just an outlier?

Plenty of industries care, that is why Ferroceone wants to make it possible for such industries to also care for Rust.

ISO C++ is only a moving target if one ignores that there is an industry that certifies compilers for specific standard versions.

I imagine a few people at Red-Hat, or the dozens of compiler vendors that take advantage of upstream work in clang can afford a couple of copies of the standard.

After all, they have circa 40 years of experience doing so since ISO/ANSI C89 was released.
I guess this is the line you're referring to?

On the one hand, "Yes, that is true".

On the other hand, it's actually physically nauseating to have The Spectator pass any comment on integrity, cultural vandalism, RightThink etc. They've led the charge promoting fake news and alternative "facts" from Brexit to Covid.
Suckerpunch did a video on “harder drives” where he implemented a block storage device by storing data in ping packets. It’s one of my all time favourite technical talks - his style is amazing, and he’s an incredible story teller.

> Are reposts ok?

> If a story has not had significant attention in the last year or so, a small number of reposts is ok. Otherwise we bury reposts as duplicates.

My guess is than none of the post triggered the automatic heuristic they are using for "significant attention", whatever that means.
If you are reaching the point where they are sending you emails asking about what you are doing, you should be paying for it.
fly.io can construct the dockerfile and shenanigans for your source code tree, last i saw.
From a compliance perspective that would work. However, that means that franchisees in high-tax areas like Chicago make 10% less per sale than those in Oregon or Delaware. That doesn't seem tenable in the long run.
It’s a chicken and egg problem. Can ChatGPT come up with a framework to write code ? Today it can only read docs and already developed code to create new one.
Could it create a new langage that perfectly fit the hardware it’s running on ? If so, there is no need anymore for any other software company.
ChatGPT, write me an OS please, write me a photo and video editor. Write me a game about …
It’s seems really far fetched because, could it really create new software with a different paradigm ? Something that hasn’t been done before ? Given how it processes words from its input, it seems not.

School teaches how to think. All the frameworks and some langages that are used by millions didn’t exist back then. But what if the point of rupture was 10 years ago, would we been stuck with old and non innovative tooling and designs ?
We still need to learn people how to think and develop skills.
The cheater from my era never acquired good development skills.
Today the cheater are just as good as ChatGPT so what’s the point in hiring them ? If all you have to do is enter commands in a prompt, let the marketing people do it and have their real no-code revolution.

We always going to need problem solvers and people with deep insights on how things work. Maybe it’s the time to dig deeper into the knowledge and write only real meaningful code
The point of writing an essay is not to learn how to produce an essay. It's to learn analytical thinking, research, and argument skills.
Ah TIL, so it's actually a thing and with some cleverer approaches too. Then we do have something to look forward to :D
This one is very hard for me. I think about how we look at the things that used to be normal in the past. How the R word was a medical condition, how the N word was a normal thing to call somebody, how a gay man was called the F word. Nobody would bat an eye at these words back then. And yet - we look back on those times with disdain. I can't imagine giving a book to a child that contains those words; and yet maybe back then that was normal?

Will people look back on our times with disdain and think how horrible we were for calling each other crazy, mad, fat and ugly? How we made such a big deal about gendering things?

Maybe we are "the old men shouting at clouds" (ahem... I mean "old people shouting at clouds" xd)? Maybe we should get with the times? Or is this really all "cancel-culture" and everybody else except us is wrong?

Unfortunately, I only have questions and no answers hahah
Changing the work of an author and passing it off as the author's work is despicable and, I think, harmful. The extent of the changes don't alter the principle.

At the very least, it's lying.

If this is accepted practice, it means we can no longer trust that just because a work has the same title and author listed, that it's what the author actually wrote. It means that if you want to read the author's work, you can't just buy it. You'll have to engage in research to see if it had been altered at some point and identify when the alteration happened so that you can know which printings really reflect the author's intentions.
It is a computer science degree, with an emphasis on the science part, and a note that CS is not the same as coding computers. It's the science of computing, not a tech bootcamp to get you quickly up to speed in the latest hot language and framework.
The best counter to ChatGPT cheating that I’ve heard of is to get students to orally defend their assignments in class. No computer is going to come to your rescue when you have to explain why you wrote the code you wrote.

Encourage the use of ChatGPT and other tools. Put the emphasis on understanding what the code does and why. The tool may help to explain this to the student, but if so, that’s fantastic. No need to worry. Learning has occurred.
Uh, guys, I just ported C++20 to the thing and the absolute latest tip of GCC12.2.0, Binutils, and Newlib. I'm also in the process of porting the Objective-C foundation framework to it as well... you have no idea how good the development tools are. This shit's more modern than what I have running on my host machine. lmao.

The SuperH is still fully supported by the GCC toolchain and is well maintained.

Also the guy behind compiler explorer, Matt Godbolt, himself was a DC developer and has added the SH architecture there as well.

Heat-pump condensing tumble dryer.

The heat-pump is more efficient than normal resistive heat generation, and the moisture condenses on the cold parts of the heat-pump. So less power used, and less moisture in the air. Win-win. The drawback is the high initial cost of such dryers. But this one is still going strong, after 14 years so far.

Ours was bought when we lived in a cold damp climate. We have since moved to a hot humid climate. Passive drying works best in a dry climate.
the other week i gave chatgpt a simple multiplication problem that it got wrong. very simple problem like 86 * 0.0007 or something. but ive been working with chatgpt for 4-5 weeks now and that wrong answer doesnt make up for all the "good answers" that are usually not perfect. like one day i needed to COALESCE in mysql. i didnt know that, but chatgpt did. theres a few times i would have written a function the complicated way when gpt gave me a much simpler nicer to read way. i think the tool is great and tbh i dont like copilot in comparison and turned it off.

i dont think chatgpt can be a 100% solution without several years of nerfing.
Using ChatGPT et al. to cheat in assignments should be viewed as a practice as low and shameful as ordinary plagiarism.

I wish the best to educators, but they shouldn't lose any more sleep over it. The game is over.

Unfortunately, the future tends towards distrust to pathological levels. Teaching Ethics will be of central importance as never before.
the author is certain that they turned out fine but is not curious about the experience of the people for whom these changes are made
Always fascinating to see evolution arrive at similar outcomes in vastly distanced species / environments. Not only the "hands" are so familiar to us, the whole animal resembles an axolotl.
> I would rather this author be writing about how he is going to re-examine how he teaches rather than bemoaning that students can shortcut his current approach.

Did you read the entire article? What you're asking for is exactly how he ends his discussion.
> Anyway given the option, one should always favour C++ over C

Eh. I work in embedded, where C reigns supreme. C++ has its own issues in the area, namely that you need to construct your own sub-dialect that removes some features of C++ to make it fit embedded constraints. Commonly, it's C++-but-no-exceptions, sometimes C++-but-no-templates, and others.

That said, I'll grant that us embedded developers are effectively "traumatized" and have difficulty accepting new approaches because we're too focused on certain paradigms that are no longer relevant (See my previous about returning structures, which has encountered responses like "but then it might do an extra memcpy()!!11")

Parent poster here. Assuming malicious actors can easily set up all the fancy acronyms to verify the sender’s identity, how should spam be prevented if not through IP reputation (and whatever else they have today)? Should the reputation apply to the domain name instead? Would that protect against Sybil attacks?

To my knowledge, these systems are proprietary, obscure secret sauce heuristics. My point is that we should find a way to do spam prevention in an open and easy to implement way. Such an algorithm could then be applied to any open-inbox system, not just email.
Technology is amoral. The ChatGPT reminds me of a nailgun vs a hammer.

Once you know how to properly use the tool, the benefits of positive work become evident while the human components remain.

We still need the nailgunner to show up on time, be aware of undesirable outcomes that may be built with an correct prompt, or knowing that the impact of a hammer can be finely tuned to the target.

Formal education is the trailing system far behind the workers, innovators, designers, and experimenters.
> the correct solution is to not read the book, not to have some hack edit it.

I'd even be OK with the existence of a hacked-up version, as long as it was made clear that it was a derivative work and not the original.
I would expect a bash script I wrote 20 years ago to run on a new linux machine I buy today, yes. I'm not asking for windows XP to be installed, I am asking for these modern machines to let me run the code the machine I was sold 15 years ago let me run. This whole march to reduce compatibility is kind of stupid imo. Let me buy a mac that can run 32 bit software still!
... The second one? I think it's not unreasonable to predict something upsetting. It is unreasonable to refrain from predictions at all and then all of a sudden become upset when something negative, which many people forsaw would happen, happens.

Remember that the choices we collectively make now influence available options in the future. So it's not just a matter of wait and see, but also of proactively raising concerns. Many of the people who are working in big firms like microsoft also browse this site, should we reallh just act as though our comments have no impact?

Of course it'll be a drop in the bucket- and I also agree with your main point that it's good to not be too presumptive, but I'd just like to nudge it a little bit more in the direction that it's okay to voice discontent for possible (or probable, based on your priors) future developments.

Is it an act of cultural vandalism to stage a modernized production of Shakespeare so that the audience can empathize with the plot & characters better?

Be angry at copyright, not at the decision to attempt to modernize a work of art; without copyright, both versions could be circulated concurrently (and of course this is why you see both traditional & modernized Shakespeare productions, unlike Broadway where every tour is authorized and a replica (some exceptions for school versions and such)). Art is a product of its times, and imo it's completely reasonable to want to update a version to what makes sense in the modern day and what children can now empathize with, and see themselves reflected in.

"This isolation happens in all fields: movies, music, literature, or product development. But it’s necessary. No one will come and tell you to create something."

While a nice ideal, this feels 100% incorrect. All of those are commercial endeavors that have people coming to you telling you to create something. Some of them even come to you with pre-written requirements, scripts, etc. and tell you to create it. Or you have a contract committing you to creating a certain amount of work.

Individual periods of creative flow may be done in isolation, that is true. But the article went too far to claim that isolation is a given in creative work.

One way to prevent this from happening would be to close the copyright loophole associated with these actions. Estates of dead authors get to "update" works and can cash in a brand new copyright.
This is just a historical example of someone editing a childrens book and doing so poorly as to ruin the art of the work. Many pieces of art were vandalized in a similar manner, I haven't found a single case in antiquity where modern people, in western countries at least, are in favor of the censorship of the past.
Awesome haha. Yeah, this is close to the kind of thing I'm thinking of. But even in this it starts of where you can just buy an anonymous server (from briefly watching a YouTube video on it). I'm super curious to know even how it would go about seriously attempting to do that for real. I can imagine the quickest way into the financial system would be through deception of some sort. My guess would be a romance scam might be the easiest thing to pull off and it could potentially fly under the radar for a long time on that, so long as it didn't get too greedy.

It's fascinating to think about it really truly how you would pull it off if you were in the AGIs shoes.

> pretty much everyone says they prefer the full price to be shown up front in search result pages. But, as someone who is privy to a ton of A/B testing in this area, the opposite nearly always results in higher conversion

That may be true, but those are measuring two separate things - customer desires and customer behavior. Just because it results in more sales doesn't actually mean the customer still wants that. I know I didn't when I rented a car recently but I was pretty much stuck when picking up the car at the airport. I would have definitely found another solution if I knew upfront how much the real cost was going to be.
