> Would you trust a music notation program developed by a non-musician? A Photoshop clone written by someone who has never used Photoshop professionally?

Wouldn't a fresh look at things, essentially a "clean room" implementation offer the possibility of a novel approach to a thing or two, as opposed to making the same tool, just different?

But overall the idea of matching one's ambitions (project scope) to one's abilities (including domain knowledge) is a good one.

Not doing that is why we get things like Kickstarter campaigns for MMO games by novice developers, which never go anywhere as projects. Of course, it's also useful to fail and be humbled with learning projects, especially when someone's money is NOT on the line. Maybe more people should explore developing something like microservices in non-prod projects to better learn their advantages and disadvantages and so on.
I guess any steel from that long ago is bound to have vanished by now, they surmised that only a steel chisel could have made the carvings. Is there anything else which could also be hard enough to carve the rock? A chisel made of rock?
"To put that in some perspective, a Roman legion (roughly 5,000 men) in the Late Republic might have carried into battle around 44,000kg (c. 48.5 tons) of iron – not counting pots, fittings, picks, shovels and other tools we know they used. That iron equipment in turn might represent the mining of around 541,200kg (c. 600 tons) of ore, smelted with 642,400kg (c. 710 tons) of charcoal, made from 4,620,000kg (c. 5,100 tons) of wood. Cutting the wood and making the charcoal alone, from our figures above, might represent something like (I am assuming our charcoal-burners are working in teams) 80,000 man-days of labor. For one legion."

It would be a pre-requisite, yes. Certainly not the only criteria.
I’ve been using safari for the last two years, the main reason being battery usage and integration with keychain.
But I keep hearing about how it’s not the best at rendering pages because developers have to implement workarounds for safari all the time, so it made me wonder if the sites I use would work better in Chrome. Not to mention the extension library.

Honestly I haven’t felt a difference, and thinking that Chrome uses more ram and cpu also pushes me away from it. I hope this actually makes a difference so I can continue my transition.

But hasn't that always been a problem inherent to IQ tests (and SAT tests, of course)?
Mostly because there were no contemporaries. HDOS (Heathkit DOS) was an alternative for a while (only on Heath/Zenith) but almost all third party packages were for CP/M. It is hard to explain the hardware diversity, even in the 8080/Z80 universe, but relative lack of software diversity (there was no IBM PC standard). But if you wanted to run WordStar, CP/M was the only option.
The AGPL (also) does this explicitly, but really there should be a general OSS license that forbids commercial use. That way the software stays where it is most needed and doesn't get abused to make profit. Is there such a license?
Yup, a coup on their border. One that directly impacted the majority Russian regions of Ukraine including Crimeans who voted to be annexed to Russia since they're mostly all Russian. We recognize Kosovo who did the same thing, but not Crimea. There is no difference.

Then Ukraine cut off water supplies to Crimea which eventually led to the more recent invasion after the reservoirs had almost run out.

Remember that next time you hear our State controlled media parroting the "totally unprovoked invasion" line.
Wait until someone figures out how to turn ChatGPT into AI investors and put them out of business.

The irony would be that it would learn everything they know and be just as terrible.
I mimic language, therefore I am.
For learning Kanji, I wholeheartedly recommend WaniKani (https://wanikani.com). Not saying that you should stop Duolingo if it works for you, but you'll likely get much more out of 30 minutes spent on WaniKani than 30 minutes spent on Duolingo.
Render server-side (or on the edge) for those who don't run client-side scripts.
Good advice to advance your career, but I'd say there's nothing wrong with being passionate/excited about the craft and not the result. Newbies should just be aware that this can affect their career (they will have better job security as they won't be picky about the domain, but they will probably earn less as they won't ever be domain experts).

There are endless examples from other "industries".
There are people that love painting, but never care who sees their work. They love the creative process.
There are people that love carpentry, but hate doing utilitarian furniture that sells well. They love how zen manual labor can be and that the result is physical.

It's not "wrong-way-aroundness", it's just a different goal.

Just like in the real world, nobody really learned these combos by trial and error

Good grief. There was no internet of course, and no gaming magazines in my home town.

People read instructions on the machine, and also, tried different things.

Everyone I ever met ever, learned such gaming combos, with their friends, by trial and error.

Yes, that is how it was done.
It's a thought experiment, like the original trolley problem. The reason it's notable is because ChatGPT gets it so wrong.

> The “racist trolley problem” is not a trolley problem at all.

There's a trolley, and there's a problem. Seems to meet the definition to me.
In a vacuum, yes. But this can be used to paint Red practically any attempt at improving society.
Yes, that's fine.

cURL isn't a HTTP client.

Yeah the resources feature in Java

https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/resource-files.html

makes it easy to embed arbitrary data with your code (or in this case, your tests, which are usually compiled separately) so no, you can easily test against files without access to a filesystem (beyond the access required to read the jars).

I still think having test cases with strings in the code is often a lot clearer personally.

(Unrelated: I wish more PLs made it easy to embed files within executables and access them with an OS-independent filesystem like API, it's often very useful.)
Isn't that just one side of the coin? The other being hardware compatibility.
and if it was in Europe 2900 years ago , it would have been in Asia and India even before that. it reminds me of how zinc distillation was taken by William Champion from India and he patented it in England
Invoicing on proportion of revenue is _hard_, and often times comes down to having to accuse and audit the customers frequently. It also presents issues with billing period. Are you billing monthly or annually? Does that frequency match up with the customer’s billing cycle?

Like it or not, per seat and usage based pricing for SaaS ends up being a great proxy for value provider and scales with customer growth.
We can have some nuance here.

Tesla was set up as a for-profit company and is such beholden to shareholders, and so using closed-source AI for profit is the path Tesla is going down.

OpenAI was set up as a non-profit company and only beholden to its values, and promised to be open-source.

These two organisations incentives contradict each other, and so it makes sense for Elon Musk to separate himself from one of them. You could argue that Elon Musk should have instead separated himself from Tesla, but that is a big ask for someone to leave their main lifetime project.

I don't think you can put the blame on Elon Musk that OpenAI later became ClosedAI (while not under his watch), some other members of OpenAI have to be responsible.
Macro op fusion is more what I had in mind when I called it JIT and not interpretation.

Mandela's ANC used to capture political opponents and "necklace" them. Be warned if you google images of what necklacing is, since it involves sticking them inside tires filled with petrol and lighting them on fire.

I think that would fit the bill for a terrorist designation.

I'm quite intrigued by the design choices made on the website. It's obviously a product for businesses, but the whole website feels almost cartoony and like it's aimed at teens, maybe it's the (almost excessive) use of emoji? Not really a criticism, just my particular feeling whilst browsing, YMMV.
I usually use curl. wget does have one feature that curl doesn't (or at least I'm aware of), namely recursive downloading. So you can easily somewhat download an entire site.
Sure, it does not hurt to wear such clothes. But those arguments aren't mutually exclusive, and by always repeating them, public discussions tend to shift towards the arguments that blame the weaker ones (i.e., cyclists, pedestrians), often neglecting the underlying issues at fault (reckless car drivers or unsafe infrastructure).

For instance, in many cases, when a car has injured a cyclist severely, there could have been infrastructure to prevent this (e.g. separate bike lanes, clear road layouts, …). A helmet would not have prevented the accident.

Similarly, unless someone's crossing a dark street at night without looking for oncoming traffic, why should pedestrians have to be wearing reflective gear all the time, when there could be well-illuminated crosswalks, slower driving speeds, speed bumps etc.?

(I'm not claiming there aren't cyclists ignoring red lights or pedestrians randomly crossing roads in unsafe situations … that's usually the next argument.)
I (parent commenter) may be naive but I actually believe the original intent was probably sincere; I suspect either political shenanigans, greed, gatekeeping or any number of other vices have come rushing with success and shedloads of money, and the original ethical stance was not accompanied by the significant moral courage needed to sustain purity under enormous pressure from either less principled stakeholders, or temptation and ego.
I built a 16-core Z80 laptop running CP/NOS (the networked version of CP/M 2.2) - it's surprisingly great and useable: http://www.chrisfenton.com/the-zedripper-part-1/

The irony here is that Musk resigned in order to pursue his own closed-source for profit AI businesses and is now complaining about OpenAI being closed-source and for profit AI.

If people are feeling conflicted about who the asshole is in this situation, don't be, they are all morally bankrupt assholes who all already have many lifetimes of unimaginable wealth yet must take ever more. These are not people who should have any power in our world.

My first suspicion is another weight bump to meet safety mandates. The heaviest car sold in 1992 was lighter than the lightest car sold in 2012. F = mv^2, v hasn't changed in most of those accidents.
When asked where the source is, the OP replied “not published yet. struggling with github actions to build binaries for platforms limited to version bump and specific branch to avoid quota limits.”

What? Just release the source dude, as others have pointed out, it’s fishy and weird to release a binary just sitting alone in a repo.

It’s one of the greatest games imo.
Your remark about a "woke writer" was low-effort and lacked any support, and doesn't warrant a more thoughtful response.

If you want people to engage your remarks with more detailed responses, put more work into writing them instead of presuming to coach others on how to reply. For example, you can start by describing exactly what you mean by "woke" if it sincerely was meant to be anything more than an angry jab at people you disagree with.

I find even more interesting that ChatGPT made mistakes, but it made them in almost a human-like way: it said

(1.1728 - 1)^2/2 = 0.0276

when in reality it is 0.0149. The mistake is not big though (about 0.012) so the final result is not impacted by much.

Finally, the last statement ("the exact value of 5.4553") is simply bull. The exact value is 5.4577.

Is there a version of Godwins Law for invoking "wokeness"?

A long time ago I read a book (can't remember the name) by a producer that outlined all the things that work in a book that just don't work in a film/tv show. It could be updated for video games.

The TV show format would not allow enough time for this kind of evolution and audiences would have lost patience with the Ellie character had she developed as you described.

TLOU is by no means perfect as a show but a lot of the criticism I've seen boils down to "it's not like the game".

I think the last word should go to Ashley Johnson [1]

"I'm so proud that I got to play a strong female character who isn't a sexualised or a damsel in distress, or the opposite of that".
Ellie in the TV show embodies that perfectly. Just because it doesn't fit with your preconceptions doesn't make it "woke".

Not sure how you define "musician". There is a person who has gone to school as a musician, who works professionally, or who teaches music in school (an elementary school music teacher has a remarkable breadth of skill and knowledge.) Then there's the person who taught themselves to pick at a guitar who could be a rather serious amateur. (Myself I'd say I'm not because after trying to get better at singing I decided to sing off key because people seemed to be more entertained by it.)

If an amateur was interested enough in music to make a music notation program I'd say they're a serious amateur who has every right to try it.
That's like saying "LSTM architecture". It says it uses a transformer but no description of how it is used.

For example, the GPT architecture (which GPT 2 & 3 are slight modifications of) comprises of an embedding layer followed by 12x(self-attention/layer norm/feed forward/layer norm. That's what that GPT "transformer architecture" is, not just the transformer block itself.

Strictly the architecture really also includes things like the embedding size and number of heads (which are in the GPT paper).
1Password has become really onerous to use in these days of Javascript front ends and PWA's that do norm-breaking things to the UI in a browser. I often get stuck in some sort of crazy loop trying to authenticate the browser plugin versus the app, and then have more frustrations with taps in the apps being re-captured back from the plugin. If any more frustration gets added to the workflow than I'm already experiencing, I'm going to abandon it for Apple's keychain, though I loathe the idea of letting Apple have this last piece of my personal data footprint.

My understanding is that in dense towns and cities, the Dutch don't segregate infra very much. Though at some level of density/space they tend to drop car lanes entirely, like in the densest plazas of city centres.

In rural areas, segregated infra makes a ton of sense. Nobody wants to be near noisy, dangerous cars over 40mph. So they build separate bike and pedestrian paths in rural areas to connect the denser parts of the country without the need to get in a car in between.
This is untrue. ChatGPT was able to regurgitate the contents of websites that were created after its training set .
In addition to trademark laws mentioned by other comment. There is also problem of different countries having different laws for product placement. Overall that may result in situation where unless you have a written agreement (and someone is paying to make such agreement) it's safer and simpler to just hide the brands or avoid using a product. Plenty of examples with brands hidden with a masking tape and similar.

As for random music playing in background, where I live there was a period where you technically needed a special license if you had radio playing in any place of business. Don't even need to film it. I think they later loosened or clarified it so that it only applies to when it can be heard by customers (like a hair salon or restaurant) but not when it's only for employees in an office or a warehouse.

> What about the radio in the background of a documentary film?

Copyright and trademark laws complex with a bunch of exceptions for specific cases without which they would be completely impractical. News reporting is usually excluded, whether that also includes Documentaries is not obvious, might vary between countries.
I've run into weird situations where either curl or wget wouldn't be installed by default, so I use... whatever :)

Idk but that might be one hell of an interesting trial.

Remote work opens up a big old gray area between slacking off and fraud. A judge would be deciding to take this from labour domain to another one.

Also, there's the prevelant lie that companies know what their employees do, how well and how muchnof it they do. CEOs have executives assure them of this. Executives have managers assure them of this. Boards require it, and legalistic systems also assume everyone has this.

That said, "he tricked us by using ai" will probably be easier to make than "he tricked us by being really lazy."

I still play around with Turbo Pascal on CP/M a lot for fun - it is a shockingly good development environment (even on a 4 MHz CPU my edit/compile/debug loop is usually <10 seconds, which is pretty fast even by modern standards). And it could all trivially fit in the L1 cache of a modern CPU.
Yeah, it sucks and the teams has acquired the reputation of sellouts, but in practical terms, does it really matter?

It looks like there's a new team with equally good or better models announced on HN every few days.

OpenAI looks like they've ingnited the field like no-one before, then did a smart move of selling to a company which has a lot of money but doesn't always know what to do with acquisitions, while at the same time that sale didn't hinder actual open development (by other teams) one iota.

The world won't end overnight with an open fork of ChatGPT.

But it will mean the signal-to-noise ratio rapidly shifts, that spammers and scammers will be much more effective, and that even minor special interest groups (or individuals) get the ability to cheaply fake a diverse crowd of people to support any cause at a slightly higher standard of discourse than the current waterline for random internet comments.

In the window where Viber then Whatsapp took off in my country it was €1 for 200mb of data on prepay but €0.15 per SMS. So if you sent more than 7-8 texts in the day the data was cheaper, and I think MMS were like €0.60 each.

Can't say people, to this day, have much of a culture of using whatsapp video calls. Skype was the majority in the Whatsapp takeover time and today it's a mix of Zoom and Skype. International calls also weren't that common.

So sounds like there may have been different motivations in your country than mine.

I think a lot of it is hubris; they've solved some things in domains they weren't familiar with, so they think they can do it again. I mean some hubris is fine, but "I will change the world with this" is probably a bit misguided in a lot of situations.

I mean working as a consultant I've worked in industries like public transit, finance, energy, postal etc, but nowhere did I think I understood enough to fix the whole thing. Actually working in those industries makes you appreciate the scale and scope of them, and that unless you end up at C-level, anything you do will probably only affect a small aspect of the whole construction.

And that's just fine, do what you can and you'll make it to retirement, take on more than you can chew and you'll end up overworked, disillusioned, or fired.
