> It is priced at $0.002 per 1k tokens, which is 10x cheaper than our existing GPT-3.5 models.

This is a massive, massive deal. For context, the reason GPT-3 apps took off over the past few months before ChatGPT went viral is because a) text-davinci-003 was released and was a significant performance increase and b) the cost was cut from $0.06/1k tokens to $0.02/1k tokens, which made consumer applications feasible without a large upfront cost.

A much better model and a 1/10th cost warps the economics completely to the point that it may be better than in-house finetuned LLMs.

I have no idea how OpenAI can make money on this. This has to be a loss-leader to lock out competitors before they even get off the ground.
That's too bad. We, as a society, are now choosing not to incentivize Midjourney economically. We will all suffer a dearth of Midjourney creations because of it.
Not only that, "deaths of despair" have skyrocketed in the US.
Used ones generally don’t have the tax incentives, which can be quite lucrative. Incentives where I live are over $13k on new EVs like the Mach-e

(FD: CMake developer) I certainly understand a lot of the gripes that people have had, but the amount of tribal knowledge for obscure platform behaviors encoded in CMake is…vast.

"much of the planet", whatever "much" means exactly and whether or not the claim is true, should refer to the number of people affected. Essentially, how much do we care about people in poor countries dying of thirst, starving and attempting to migrate while stey still can? A lot of people live in the places you "can understand writing off". What happens to them?

Perhaps surprisingly, the HP ink tank printer ("Smart Tank 510 series") is not too too bad, we are about 300 sheets in and still lots of ink left. (This is impossible on an HP cartridge inkjet).

Print quality is good; the image does not bleed and the paper does not warp from "wet ink" syndrome.

But it is expensive.

And it has the oppressive "login to HP website to print". Nope, I avoid that.

Pro tip: decline auto upgrade of the "HP Smart" software; one day HP will "update" your software to require login before printing. The workaround is to remove that software and load the "enterprise" class packaged software.

Everyone keeps saying this but it doesn't really make sense. People chase money, not social expectations. Heck open up OnlyFans for the perfect example of this. More and more schoolteachers (a historically respectable career) are becoming sex workers (a historically disreputable career) simply because it makes more economic sense.

Let's say we do somehow make trades popular and everyone goes to trade school instead of college. What then? Is there magically going to be more state funding for apprenticeship programs? Will there be better union representation? Will states make better laws around workplace injuries? Will wages somehow get higher? (Quite the opposite in fact if more people are entering the profession).

You have to fix all this first, and that in turn will lead to better public perception of the profession. It can't be the other way around.

Teachers’ unions are basically ineffective outside of large liberal cities (NYC, Chicago, Seattle). Their ability to “protect lousy teachers”, as you put it, has already been gutted. As a side-effect, they’re also now incapable of retaining exceptional teachers.
A failure to yield citation, maybe with an additional citation for negligent or distracted driving is not a major consequence. Insurance tends to cover the monetary cost of the civil suit, and higher auto insurance bills aren't really a "major consequence" either.

To be charged with vehicular assault or manslaughter you have to prove intent, most of these collisions are a result of mild negligence or even poor roadway design. Many states don't have any kind of charge for negligent collision that results in jail time. And yes if you kill or injure someone while driving distracted I think 3-6 months in jail is still pretty minor, given that consequences can be permanent.
Unfortunately there are many PM who are basically that type.

I agree with almost every one of your points. I think I oversimplified my original point for the sake of clarity.

If you are throwing out maintainable code for the sake of performance, it had better be because you know that it's your bottleneck, and that the performance increase is worthwhile in the first place. "Performance for performance sake" shouldn't exist anywhere outside of hobby projects.

I would argue that responsive user interfaces are really important to user experience. Not many people are complaining because everyone is used to unresponsive apps, but that doesn't mean users wouldn't appreciate a more responsive app.

I would also add that there isn't always a tradeoff between performance and maintainability. If you can adopt some performant coding patterns that don't sacrifice maintainability, then absolutely do that. I think Casey's example of "switch-based polymorphism" is one such pattern(and I think the fact that Rust took a similar route to polymorphism is a vote in favour of this pattern).

To be fair, it's not Apple misbehavior. It's essentially just Apple saying if you use a cable not OK'd by us, you're on your own. I don't think anyone expects people not to plug in non certified cables. It looks like it's just putting into writing a stance of, "Hey, if you fry your phone using junk cables, that's on you."
The north east has some of the longest-standing cultures of bureaucracy and corruption in the US. I would not expect anything above average from these locations. As you mention, there is to much inertia and precedent in these regions.

If you can, move somewhere else. I've never heard anything good from the city management or education systems in the oldest parts of the nation.
You cannot separate the two. Telemetry is primarily about the user. What features do they use? What is their pattern of usage? Etc.

So it's about the user as well as about the software. If it weren't, the only telemetry that would be of any actual value to you would be crash reports.

I wonder how many of Comixology's issues also track the downfall of the American Comicbook Industry. Marvel, DC and other American Comicbook companies aren't exactly setting the world on fire with their sales. There have been months where a single manga volume will outsell the entire American industry.
Those weren't the goals asked for by the parent.

But to address this individually, yes, they are required for any kind of a family - single or married or with 55 children. And it's harder to do than it has been for the hundreds of thousands of years before now - it's not something you just "get" for working, for being part of a community, anymore.

In other words, being hale and working all of the sunlit hours week is no longer sufficient to provide for a family. Something relatively new in human history.

EDIT: $7.25 (US federal minimum wage) * 8 hours * 365 days/year puts you right at the poverty line for a 3 person household. A quality of life which may theoretically be better than that of a caveman, but hardly what I'd call "providing" for your family.
It's a workable idea, but needs more development. That system incentivizes working at schools where children are already likely to be at grade level, have supportive parents, etc. The best teachers will flock to schools that don't really need additional help.

I'd propose to spin that and base it on deltas. Taking a student that was already achieving expectations and is still doing so earns $X. Taking a student that was not meeting expectations and now is is worth 4*$X or something like that.

It should be worth more to take underachieving students and get them up to expectations than it is to maintain students at an achieving level.

It would be pretty silly if my existing Apple cable that charges my Macbook at 61W isn't allowed to charge an iPhone much slower than that.

One of Apple's alleged concerns with switching from Lightning to USB-C was the amount of waste it would generate with people needing to buy all new accessories.

So their solution to that is ... wait 7 years after their laptops switched to USB-C to generate some extra Lightning trash, and then require me to buy extra USB-C cables even though I already have enough of them?
We did but the scale of interdependence is much greater. Though hard to say if that matters enough
> If it's easier today to inaccurately broadcast doom, then that is an indication that life got objectively worse in one respect.

This is just conveniently redefining what most people mean when they talk about objective factors.

I tend to agree that this ability to broadcast doom is an explanatory factor and it makes life worse, but to claim this is an objective explanatory factor is problematic I think, at least without drawing a distinction between this factor and those traditionally considered "objective".

But setting aside arguments about semantics, I think the deep seated stigmas around mental health that have only recently started to fade are a huge factor in the language we use to describe these issues, and I would argue seem to influence many people's perception of the importance of "subjective" factors (i.e. they deprioritize these factors or think they are not as "real" as objective factors).

People tend to think of issues that impact mental health as somehow less objective, because mental health is itself subjective. While it's objectively true that if I do not have enough money to buy food and don't find some other way to acquire it, I will die, it is not objectively true that two people experiencing the same social media environment will be impacted by it the same way, and yet this is an experience that can also lead to death.

But even if we accept that subjective factors are the primary issue, we can still trace those back to objective causes, it's just that we cannot use the same mental models of understanding "objective quality of life". We could find that social media is objectively the cause of degraded mental health (and studies are confirming this), but the impact itself is still subjective, unlike traditional economic indicators.

In other words, subjective experience could be just as critical to understand and explore as objective factors, and that subjectivity does not in any way reduce the importance or validity of such exploration.
Those Fujitsu chips are fascinating. They are ARMv8 like a smartphone, but the architecture is allegedly derived from SPARC HPC chips, and they have fat 512-bit vector units. And instead of DDR4, they use HBM as system memory.

This has some significant advantages over the classic CPU + GPU architecture, hence the US Department of Energy had very nice things to say about them: https://www.osti.gov/servlets/purl/1831598

They are getting a bit long in the tooth, so Sapphire Rapids probably makes more sense unless Fujutsu updates them (or they get access to the ARM chips SiPearl is cooking up in Europe).
I guess I don't really understand the need for something like Cargo to be up to date to the seconds, or even minutes. My assumption is that you build your code with certain package versions in mind and release that to testing. Unless it's a security update, if won't matter if your 24 hours behind.

Say that version 1.2.1 of a library is release right as you do your build, that won't go into production within that 24 hour window anyway. If it is a security fix, then, like Debian, you pull that from another repository, which is under tighter control.

Percona XtraBackup Now Supports IAM Instance Profile
Amazon instance profiles are used to pass IAM roles to an EC2 instance. This IAM role can be queried using EC2 instance metadata to access an S3 bucket. Please check Amazon’s Official Documentation for more information.

Today we are happy to announce that starting with Percona XtraBackup 8.0.31-24, xbcloud can read instance metadata and fetch credentials from an instance profile, utilizing it to authenticate against an S3 bucket. Xbcloud is a tool part of Percona XtraBackup and allows you to upload and download backups to Amazon S3 storage.
For something as extreme as a blank method, it's unlikely to be useful, I agree. For something subtle in modifying existing code, "did that actually change the thing I thought" might be a question worth answering. I guess my best (somewhat Devil's advocate) argument for doing it all the time is that maybe it's cheap enough that doing it in the useless cases is less expensive than every time figuring out whether you should plus the cost of the false negatives.

The "good students attract good teachers" factor is also why tracking is a terrible idea. It means that students who have "tracked" lower at any point in their schooling are then stuck with the worst quality teachers and cannot catch up to average standards.
