OTOH, ChatGPT also agrees with kurisufag.

I entered your prompt and got the same reply from ChatGPT. Then I changed "4 liters" to "4 gallons" and got this:

To measure 4 gallons of liquid using a 3-liter and a 5-liter bottle, you would need to convert gallons to liters first. One gallon is approximately equal to 3.785 liters, so 4 gallons is approximately equal to 15.14 liters.

Since the available bottles have capacities of 3 liters and 5 liters, you will need to fill and empty the bottles several times to reach the target of 15.14 liters. Here's one way to do it:

Fill the 5-liter bottle with water.
Pour the water from the 5-liter bottle into the 3-liter bottle until it's full, leaving 2 liters of water in the 5-liter bottle.
Pour the 2 liters of water from the 3-liter bottle into a separate container.
Repeat steps 1-3 two more times, which will leave you with a total of 6 liters of water in the separate container.
Fill the 5-liter bottle with water again and pour as much as possible into the separate container until it's full. This will add 3 liters of water to the container, for a total of 9 liters.
Fill the 3-liter bottle with water and pour it into the separate container until it's full. This will add another 3 liters of water to the container, for a total of 12 liters.
Fill the 3-liter bottle with water again and pour as much as possible into the separate container until it's full. This will add 1 liter of water to the container, for a total of 13 liters.
Fill the 5-liter bottle with water and pour as much as possible into the separate container until it's full. This will add another 2 liters of water to the container, for a total of 15 liters, which is approximately 4 gallons.

Keep in mind that this method is approximate and assumes that 1 gallon is equal to 3.785 liters. If you need a more precise measurement, you may need to use a measuring container that is calibrated in gallons.

Starts off OK. Notice that it's eventual goal is to get 15 liters: good! But then it doesn't understand what it's doing so it messes around with the 3 liter bottle instead of knowing 3*5=15. Additionally, one of the times it fills the 3 liter bottle and pours all of it out but somehow only produces 1 liter.
I know it's well-known and because it's a statistical model, but I like how ChatGPT basically fills in a Mad Lib with these replies.

> ChatGPT: I was working on a [project] that [description].

> One day, a user reported a strange issue where [issue description]. At first, I assumed it was a problem with the [feature], but as i dug deeper, I realized that the issue was actually caused by a very strange bug.

> It turned out that [bug cause]. This led to [problem].

> To fix the bug, I had to [solution]. It was definitely one of the weirdest bugs I've ever encountered, and it taught me the importance of [lesson].

Third example deviates from this template a bit but still has the key components ("strange issue", "To fix the issue, I had to" "It was definitely one of the weirdest bugs I've ever encountered, and it taught me the importance of")
It has approximately zero value for doing the job of software development vs. equivalent time spent with actual work experience. It has value otherwise, but I'm really not concerned about that when hiring my future coworkers. There are other ways to acquire the skills you learn in college. This credentialist bias of yours is exactly what I'm arguing against. Guilds tend to promote this mindset, when they're not too busy promoting nepotism.

> He rattles off a list of things that he claims Asian Americans are doing to assimilate: having stable families, not having kids out of wedlock, attaining education, not committing crime, etc.

Aren't those all habits most Asians brought with them? I.e. they're not changing their behavior to better fit in, they're doing the same things they'd be doing in their home countries.
Ignoring that the film industry in India is popularly called Bollywood, in honor of Hollywood.
Yeah. I found that there are a lot of places that let you buy in bulk or not in bulk at the same place. A wonderful example of this is H Mart, a Korean grocery chain. I also found that Costco's selection sucks and I would often leave not getting what I went in there to buy.
I could swear I read the same thing a few weeks or months ago. Particularly the bit about doing code katas everyday, which was widely criticized over here as unproductive. Is this just a similar article or a copy?
And, if it's something that's worked around in software (meaning, it was a hardware issue), that might have issues for things like Asahi Linux, which probably won't have that workaround in place.
Biden’s Surreal and Secretive Journey into a War Zone
I’m fairly sure that’s more reciting a solution learned from memory than doing math. What does it answer to

“How do I measure 12 liters when I have a 15 liter bottle and a 9 liter bottle?”

or

“How do I measure a liter when I have a 750 ml milk carton and a 12½ dl tea pot?”

I think we expect an AGI to be able to answer them, even though quite a few intelligent humans wouldn’t be able to do that.

The way I like to think about communication is like this.

My brain is trying to relay information/emotion/experience/? to your brain. However, since it can’t be done directly, I have to translate those contents into a medium that you can understand (e.g. reading or understanding a language). My being goes further and also leaks information/emotion/? via facial expressions, body language, tone, etc.

Both the conscious and subconscious are probably lower bandwidth than the brain plus the translation machinery isn’t full fidelity.

Now the recipient has to do the same, but in reverse. This happens very rapidly but all along the way we lose fidelity and volume, so our two brains are never and can never be perfectly in sync. But we want that and so the task is to continue to hone and hone and hone. And listen and ignore the ego and establish trust and many other things that bring us closer to the almost having a single mind.

You know, I'm definitely skeptical of the Agile Industrial Complex, but man, this article is doing us skeptics no favors. This is not a Software Person.
The article touches on that, but I haven't seen any mention of testing revealing a large number of dioxins. That's why I hedged with "as far as what has been demonstrated".

I can totally see the scenario where the people signing off on the burn look at the ideal combustion products (only CO2, H2O, and a little HCl), while a much more imperfect burn creates a bunch of other crap, that becomes significant due to the quantities involved.

FWIW do you know which dioxins are possible? The only specifics I've seen seemed to be people fearmongering about things like 2,3,7,8-TCDD, which seemed implausible to form from vinyl chloride, at least as far as my rudimentary knowledge of ochem would suggest.

If anything, this strikes me as a person who just really didn't like what they were doing and eventually imploded along their own personal fault-lines. Not to be overly reductive of their psychosis, of course -- one cannot disentangle the neurological from the psychological and so the way things shook out is hardly a matter of personal responsibility or playing blame.

This is all to say that they have my sympathy... but also to kind of disagree with their premise. Truthfully, the "best" bad programmers never get so far as imploding. They simply manage to sabotage everything they touch while being none the wiser. They smoothly redirect blame whenever it comes their way without even consciously thinking about it, because they truthfully believe that they are in the clear.

Sounds great.

My CS degree got me a string of software engineering jobs. Which is fine I suppose, but what I was after was CS.
Made it through the first 9 levels with only a little stumbling (as the author has indicated, there are plenty of little hints).

Level 10 has got me quite stuck though! I think I have an idea what needs to be done, but I'm stuck on trial and error with the exact details.

That said, there's something deliberate that I know is a hint and doesn't figure into my thinking... I don't yet know what it means.

Frustrating, but fun :).
That's fair enough, do you have a link to their response? I'm curious what the actual cost increase is. I'd be more than happy to pay an extra 50 cents or whatever for USB C :)
Comparatively speaking PHP has likely the most backwards compatibility with respect to actual wall time when compared with other common options.

It has many tools for the competent and the incompetent.

I'm sure your personal experience sucked, just like many people's personal experience with Java.

But let's not conflate the output of some set of practitioners with the design of the language. The fact that php can be so accommodating to the incompetent can be seen as a virtue. Dumpster fire makers can set things ablaze with any tool and the avalanches of trash PHP code are endless. It is what it is.

"Free domain privacy, forever", in GoDaddy's wording, seems fairly standard now. But really it's a spin: Since 2018, domain privacy is required by EU's GDPR in many instances. But pre-GDPR it was frequently an add-on, demanding additional payment. IIRC, there are some domains for which it is not available.

CA domains have had a privacy default for individuals since 2008. As someone who's received personal threats as a result of WHOIS info, I'd rather stick with the more certain option.
Which is ridiculous, because the IRS brings in $3 for every $1 of additional funding. It's the only government agency for which this is true.

You'd probably get different answers for which city is associated with film, just like you'd get different answers for music. Lots of locations have risen up over the years, including Vancouver, and New York (which itself alone has about 1/3rd the productions of LA).

Lots of the major production companies have actually moved out of Hollywood itself, and are scattered around Los Angeles (and the broader US).

Hollywood as a term has evolved a bit to just mean anything associated with the USA film industry, including Netflix, which itself has very little to do with traditional "Hollywood" beyond using some studios in California.

"Hollywood" is a gold standard, like "the Rolls Royce of X" is a phrase - it has captured the brand of movies, but it's current state today like you say is very similar to Silicon Valley - a name mostly (and it's used in a similar way, 'Silicon Valley North' for Canada, 'Silicon Alley' for New York, 'Silicon Beach' for Los Angeles, etc.).

Edit: Just checked and the production volume ratio between LA and New York is similar to the # of unicorns ratio between Silicon Valley and the next highest city. Really interesting comparison, as Silicon Valley has spread to the greater bay area and Hollywood film production has spread to the greater LA area as well.
Oxen seems more like git (with GitHub integration (Oxenhub)) for ML datasets, where DVC is a bit bit more like make (with S3, LFS, etc integration) for ML datasets. It seems like Oxen has finer granularity version control and diff capability, but as far as I can tell doesn’t have as many features to track and version derived data along with the code that produced it (like `dvc repro`)
Interesting article. I don't agree with the points made though. I don't want my OS to be driven by commercial interests like what's happening with that Snap/FlatPak duopoly now. I don't even really want either. Because what happens in the end is that the vendor has more control over what I do on my computer. For example the snap store is not open, only canonical can run it. This is why I switched to FreeBSD.

I also don't agree with "Sysadmims need to move away from knowing where everything is stored". Just no.

One of the commenters on this article on the register site put it really well:

VAT is still shown on receipts in the UK same as it is in the US.

Even so, I'd bet that most Brits couldn't tell you what the standard rate of VAT is, or guess something between 17% to 23% (i.e. to within 15%). I'd imagine that a greater proportion of Californians could tell you that sales tax is about 10%.
Hollywood is not only the oldest film industry in the world, it is also first in revenue.

I realise you are being somewhat flippant, but it is still sad, because (among other reasons) it appears that Liz Everett misunderstood her father's theory.

If the theory of quantum immortality is true, then while from our perspective, Hugh Everett died from a heart attack in 1982, from his own perspective, he's living on in some other branch of the multiverse in which he somehow survived that heart attack. Similarly, while from our perspective, his daughter Liz died from suicide in 1996, from her own perspective, she's living on in some other branch of the multiverse in which she somehow survived that suicide attempt. Indeed, if the theory is true, then no matter how many times 1996 Liz tries to commit suicide, from her own viewpoint she will never succeed – but she never gets to see her father again either – he's living on in a different branch of the multiverse from her, one which diverged from hers all the way back in 1982. And even that other Liz, whose father didn't die in 1982, is doomed to eventually watch her father die, and her father to watch her die, even as both go on living forever, trapped in different branches.

Quantum immortality promises us a somewhat bleak afterlife in which we all live forever, but none of us ever get to see each other again. Eternal loneliness is our universal doom.

The only way in which she actually could see her father again, would be if quantum immortality is false, but some other afterlife theory is true instead.

Call it whatever you want, problems that use/apply the knowledge you just learned to problems that you can’t just Google.
Of course, except it said so because the training weights aligned on previously learned material, or you lead it to say so by tweaking those probabilities with your input.

You can also easily make it say the complete opposite, which you'll have a hard time to do with me, because I actually meant what I said.

In fact, the next iteration of ChatGPT might have used my very words right here to construct its response.
I used a TT "expert" last year who didn't seem to grasp what I was asking I feel like, but agreed with what I hoped they would say, they're a certified tax professional and I have them down as who told me how to classify it... but I have no idea if they'd really put their weight behind it in person. It felt a little "off" to me.
Yes, according to the documentation, braces in comments should be ignored.

However, the parser is confused by unbalanced braces in comments.

Here's a classic case that turns up occasionally during development:

proc asdf { args } {
# if { first draft complex condition } {
if { final simplified condition } {
do something
} else {
do something else
}
}

Sourcing a file with the above comment inside the proc will produce:

Costco doesn't have a wide selection because the idea is Costco only sells good stuff. You don't need to think because whatever Costco has is purported to be good by Costco's standards which presumably go above the standard of average consumers.

If you are looking for things Costco doesn't carry, it is what it is. If your needs or desires line up with Costco's selection though, then there's no better place in terms of both price and efficiency of procurement.

If you find stuff from Costco is going to waste (namely foodstuffs, almost everything else they carry is non-perishable), just throw them all in the freezer. They will last months if not years.
As a control, I tried asking the same question but asking about volume instead. Unfortunately, ChatGPT appears to get it wrong:

User:

> Which is heavier: one cubic foot of nails, or one cubic foot of feathers?

ChatGPT:

> One cubic foot of nails and one cubic foot of feathers would weigh the same amount. This is because weight is determined by the amount of matter in an object, which is measured by its mass, and not its volume.

> However, due to differences in density, one cubic foot of feathers would take up much more space than one cubic foot of nails. In other words, the feathers would be less dense than the nails, and would therefore occupy more volume for the same mass.

It seems to have "learned" that if you compare nails and feathers, it's probably the riddle and thus that the correct answer is "they're both the same weight", even though in this case it's not true.
Very cool!

> Just don't promote, suggest, or downvote content.

Certain types of promotion and downvoting are clearly within the legislative intent of Section 230. Suggestion may not be, and I am sympathetic to the plaintiff's argument that recommendations -- and particularly push notifications and the like -- may not be covered by 230.

(As always, it would be much better if the legislature simply did their damn job, but we seem to be content with permanent gridlock.)

> If your algorithm can't be explained to a judge, someone who is highly educated at understanding logic and reason, then perhaps it is broken anyway.

I have no doubt that many in the legal field have this opinion -- particularly judges -- but you seem to be wildly under-estimating the degree of innumeracy on the bench. And, indeed, through most of the America's professional class. Most of the lawyers that I know haven't taken a mathematics course since high school, and one has never even taken a Calculus course (his college mathematics requirement was essentially a repeat of high school algebra). Neither of the judges I know are capable of even non-trivial computer use. Technological illiteracy really is an apt metaphor.

Within the legal community, somehow, wanton ignorance of the very basics of human knowledge in various fields is considered a major deficit. But technological illiteracy is if anything a badge of pride and a sign of status.

I have no doubt that these people are capable of understanding the technical details, but I'm also highly skeptical that they have the time for such an enormous undertaking given the typical state of numeracy and technical literacy on the bench.
