I know that it is irrational, but I have this fear that if I refuse to tip when paying for food in advance (fast food, or food carts, etc), that it might be reflected in the quality or quantity of food in my meal. So I pay the damn tip.
> I also wonder whether semis on certain well-defined long-haul routes (I-80 etc) could be partially automated, such that the driver could sleep in the back of the cab much of the time. Not sure if the technology is really there yet, though.

Sure, it's called a train.
None of these systems force tips. Even the restaurant POS systems don't.

It doesn't surprise me _at all_. Security through obscurity doesn't work, if you have real security you wouldn't bother using another port because there's no (security) reason to do so.

If someone is trying to use ports as their security measure then it's because they don't actually know how to make their API secure properly.
Tesla announces unlimited overnight charging for $30 per month
In the US, jobs with tips are often subject to a significant drop in minimum wage. If a company for a usually non-tip industry has started including tip options you may want to investigate whether they've started underpaying staff.
> Pretty much across the whole personalized service industry (ie, not mass-market retail jobs like grocery and department stores), there is a soft norm of tipping.

There was only a norm in tipping in restaurants where your food was delivered to your table. That was never expected in fast food. Now places like QDoba have tipping options.
This is a moral dilemma that was invented and forced upon Americans by the latter group. If they invented it, they can fix it. I refuse to play along with a financially ambiguous savior complex that American consumerism features. The entire dining and commerce experience in Japan is leagues upon leagues better than in the States. At least there I don't feel like I'm being financially coerced, and the transaction becomes clear and simple for all parties involved. This is why I rarely go to restaurants whenever I'm in the States now.
A nefarious use of these systems is reclassifying normal wage earners as lower paid tipped wage earners.

There is a popular brewery in Boston called Trillium brewing that collects tips with these systems for people buying canned beer from behind the register. It’s crazy because you order a case of beer for about $100 and then they default to 20% tip for what is basically a retail transaction, and a lot of people refused to tip.

Turns out they started paying people like $5/hr, below normal minimum wage for Boston, because they were classified as tipped staff.

There was a time when blurred fonts were some of a (small) hype. The tricky part is that phosphor response isn't linear, but sinusoidal, and that you had to scale this with font size… (You could make this an axis with variable fonts, though.)
Looking at the example snippets, it feels that XML would be a much better fit here, since it's mostly text with occasional embedded structure, as opposed to mostly structure.
>Can we just make it illegal to pay below minimum wage even for service work already?

Note that the sum of wage + tips must reach the minimum wage, or else the employer is required to make up the difference. It's a common misconception that tipped workers can earn less, in total, than minimum wage.

Nope, this is about it. They try to force the larger users into the expensive cards by prohibiting datacenter use in the driver EULA. This works sufficiently well in America, but it also means that you can find German companies like Hetzner that will happily rent you lots of consumer cards.

(There are also some density advantages to the SMX form factor and the datacenter cards are passively cooled so you can integrate them into your big fan server or whatnot. But those differences are relatively small and certainly not on their own worth the price difference. It's mostly market segmentation.)
I hope someone makes a Utopia simulator!
You misquoted me, I said the institutions that fund the EFF are anti-privacy and anti-security and I explained why. You can disagree all you want, but my supposition rests on its face and I never purported otherwise. You can dig through all you want to come to a conclusion otherwise, I'd be surprised if you did so reasonably.
Because it works. Our local 'decent' fast food chain (Burgerville) now asks for a tip. Even at the drive-thru window. They apologize every time and let you know you can just say no if you want. I guess it's good they feel a little uncomfortable about it, though it wasn't the worker's choice.

At some point small businesses, food carts, etc, realized that if you just put a tip jar on the counter, many people will throw money in it just because it's there. It's culturally expected now. I find it slightly infuriating.

> "Based" is a catchphrase of the extremely online right. It basically means "cool" but with a subtext of "is annoying to libs/normies who just don't get it."

It is also a catchphrase of the extremely online left with exactly the same in-group vs. out-group implication (and, amusingly—because of the different meanings of “liberal” and “lib” favored by the two sides—usually identical meaning with regard to “libs/normies”.)
Exactly this. I use SN but I'm always looking for an alternative.

So now a city is too dense for cycling to work? It’s usually the other way around.

Either way, cars are inherently less space efficient than bikes, because they occupy so much more road space per passenger.
Also loggers, quarrymen, miners, hunters, fishermen...

Naw, clearly the world is a metropolis measured in tens of square miles large with fiber internet, supermarkets that spawn stuff on shelves, and electricity dyed green.
Yeah, I think we need to introduce some sort of API for caching parsed objects in a way that avoids all the caveats of using globals...
So don't tip there. I mean, don't eat at Qdoba in the first place, but: ignore the tip prompt, the same way you ignore the "Donate $1 to the charity of our choice" prompt at Whole Foods or whatever.

I'm not even arguing that the POS screens aren't a genuine social phenomenon, or that it isn't off-putting for a grocery store clerk to side-eye you for not tipping at check-out (I wouldn't!). I'm just saying, this article acts like tipping a mechanic is a shocking new intrusion, and what's actually the case is that the author just isn't familiar with the pre-existing norms of tipping.
Fast food places pay at least minimum wage and these days are so desperate they often pay $15+ an hour where the minimum wage is still $7.25
I live in the UK.

I own a car that cost me 700 pounds. My annual insurance and tax are 500 pounds. The car basically requires 0 maintenance. It will break in approx. 5 years and I'll buy another one.

I can go to the countryside, visit friends and family that do not live near train stations, go to large supermarkets and buy in bulk, and generally just go everywhere more quickly.

I like this. It's nice. I'd pay 500k over a lifetime for it. It allows me to do many things I couldn't otherwise. Thankfully it only costs me something like 50-100k.
9,250 EVs vs 14,000 charging stations.

Why start off with 30% more more charging stations than EVs?
In their mind it’s absolutely clear - now tell them their 15 year old daughter is pregnant and the world is suddenly gray. I’ve got a high school full of examples.

The other side was always clear that it isn’t clear. They dont flip flop.
I’m not convinced EVs have a capital penalty over ICE. If an operator already has a truck they aren’t going to be in the market for a replacement, EV or not, until it reaches EOL. The lower cost of operation may move the needle on when ICE trucks reach EOL but not by much. How does an owner-operator justify the cost of buying two trucks and staging them? Even for larger operations how do they justify buying trucks that will sit still? Once EVs can meet the hours per day limits they will be appealing without additional infrastructure or over-provisioning.
Longer than that. The first electric cars were over a century ago. Battery tech is even older than that, maybe another century. It took many lifetimes for the tech to get to where it is today.
I don't understand this logic: you know that waitstaff in restaurants are paid less than minimum wage because they make it up in tips, so you choose not to tip them which actively contributes to them making less than minimum wage? The system is shitty but you're okay with screwing over the individuals who are forced to participate in the system with "no moral qualms"?
They don’t realize it because they don’t get any of the benefits. Electricity costs are rising across the country almost without exception.

Meanwhile California is paying other states to take electricity because they generate so much excess power during the duck curve (while simultaneously having rolling blackouts)
Based on the skeptical comments I was expecting to be disappointed but this is really incredible! Great write-up, too. Thanks for sharing.

This approach may not scale or deliver "good enough" results or whatever right now, but it blows my mind that one person can do everything outlined in this and the follow up post on characters. Incredible efficiency gains and this technology came out less than a year ago!
I don't know how normal this is across the country, but in my area fast food workers are paid starting at about $15/hour, they are not the service workers getting the sub-$3 "tipping assumed" base wage.
What kind of attack are you describing?
My advice depends on the city. I live in Bogota.

One universal advice is that if you're not looking for drugs or sex work, the chances of ending up 'in a well' are very low. While acclimating, I recommend Uber over taxis; you can call taxis on the Uber app, too. If you want to get out of the cities, the bus network is actually quite safe. If you want a private/trusted driver for a group, you can get foreigner rates by asking your hotel or better rates by straight up asking an Uber driver if they're willing to do off-platform service for cash.

I've built a network of 3 trusted drivers for trips outside Bogota, two from Uber XL and one from chatting with a driver at a museum.

Other universal tips are to keep in mind that starter phones in the US/EU are luxury phones in Colombia. I would recommend being alert of your surrounding when using a phone in cities like Medellin, Cali, and Cartagena. In Bogota, mostly be careful around major arterial roads: a common way to lose a phone are motorcycle bandits when you are close to the road. Especially iPhones, they really stand out compared to the Android models that are common in Latin America.

Other universal tips is that, Cartagena aside, most Colombian cities are early to wake and early to sleep/go home. Sunrise and sunset are very stable year round, and locals prefer to be out and about in daylight -- daylight is waaaay safer than night time. Day time in some Bogota barrios feels like Spain; night time gets edgy.

Here's a post I made on /r/solotravelers specifically about Colombia:

chatGPT hallucinates more the further removed it is from the data. I'm asking it about laravel, and it knows nothing about laravel 9 or 10 changes, but if I feed it an entire article or document it'll hallucinate a lot less because it's fresh.

kinda like how we can recall things closer to the event than months later.

it knows a ton from it's training but it still got it from the web so always question it, but if we can add meta data and other things to strengthen the llms understanding it shouldn't hallucinate much at all.
Well, humans don't know how to determine if a proposition is correct.

So it's no surprise we didn't teach AIs yet!

Edit: I don't understand why experts say it failed when they "asked it to reason". It doesn't have pictures of TVs on cats to produce variations of, right? How does "reason" enter into it?
My main issue is that they look ugly. They look like what I would get if I spent 3 minutes getting some robots from DALL-E without caring much about the result or refining the prompt.
No, they are the exact same thing
The most ironic thing about this is Meta (and a number of smaller companies like Replika) are trying to utilize LLMs precisely to make a dystopia world.

I've seen first hand validation on massive workloads moving to Graviton based instances. This includes low latency high TPS java services and offline big data compute on EMR.

All combined the hype is quite real. Heck, even moving an intel based service to newer nitro based EC2 instances resulted in a drastic performance improvement. Moved from m5.24xlarge --> m6g.8xlarge with better service performance and improved latency characteristics. Intel is in trouble in my opinion.
That's a roundabout expression of the narrative.

> a conversation between two knowledgeable people

Yeah I don't know if ChatGPT is capable of acting like a knowledgeable person but I suspect it would have a tendency to make the kind of novel insights that people tend to make. The most statistically likely word might be sort of smoothed over conceptually.

But also it was frustrating to hear the opening of this podcast go with "we are two AI generated hosts running on ChatGPT" and then when they move to talking specifically about the ChatGPT API article they talk about all these products running on the new API and there is not one single comment in that section where they say "and of course us too! haha" like any human being would if some relevant spot in an article came up like that.

Also the kind of tech podcasts I like to listen to are more critical. They are not just going to tell you what someone announced but also why some part of this announcement is probably nonsense or improbable. I can imagine this AI podcast talking about some new NFT announcement without any hint of doubt as to the claims made in the announcement.
For anyone using Standard Notes, how confident are you that syncing will always work and your data won't get lost?

I keep trying out new note apps and I keep coming back to Google Keep and Notion for exactly one reason: deleted data caused by bad syncing on buggy mobile apps.

Latest one I tried was Taskade, and I spent hours copying over all my notes. Then one app update later and the dreaded self-deleting data hits.

So I'm back to Notion again and very wary of wasting time trying out another notes app.

The reason I want to switch: Notion does too much and is slow on mobile. Google Keep is... Google. Plus it's missing a few features I want. Taskade was a great middle ground for me.
They’d have to quit or the restaurant pay better.
I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree about that.

Here is a quote from the original article that supports my position:

"Therefore consumer applications will need to perform deduplication or handle incoming messages in an idempotent manner. ... The way we achieve exactly-once delivery in practice is by faking it. Either the messages themselves should be idempotent, meaning they can be applied more than once without adverse effects, or we remove the need for idempotency through deduplication."

Every single comment I've made in this thread was made with the intent of chiding those who are off topic.

"We didn't start the fire! Da nah nah nah nah nah"
With either tech, this thread is a very cynical take. If you give generic prompts, you get generic results. Want something personal, get personal and you will get personal results out of the AI.

The barrier to creation has been lowered. But, when you can create anything, you still have to dig to figure out what you actually want.
Telling ChatGPT to "think it out loud" first before giving the final answer generally leads to better results than just telling it to answer right away. This is especially true in multi-step tasks where you keep adding to input.
It's very divisive but I love the NGDV too. I wouldn't want it as my personal vehicle but mail trucks have had an iconic look my whole life and these even more so. I think a lot of kids will grow up with fond memories of this dorky mail truck.
Typo in first sentence
That is the law. That law is generally not followed in the real world.
Right but the author's premise is that the AI fails to reason or extend ideas, not that the AI fails to reason or extend ideas in the presence of extraneous, conflicting, or malformed instructions.

If you're prompting ChatGPT (which is already loaded with prompt-engineering cheez-whiz mind you) to reason as a computer, why use words like "imagine"? why phrase things as a question? I think the fragility the author is observing here is extraneous to the actual underlying technology, and a factor of the UI that's been stacked-on and purpose-built for softer-purpose use, not hard academic research such as this.

Xerox PARC is the stuff of legend. Its an accident of both time (ICs are becoming available), money (Xerox is happy to pour money into the thing with no real objectives) and people (a literal who's who of talent.)

New, but possible, industries last only for a moment. Gathering talent for that moment and just letting them create, results in an explosion. It's rare precisely because its impossible to manufacture.

These days money is easy. People is harder. Right-Time is impossible. Computing is ubiquitous, nothing new will have the same depth as PARC. The biggest change since PARC has been touch screens. That's significant, but a single technology.

When PARC happens again it won't be in tech, but in some other field, something that's new, but possible.

I have lived a life in the shadow and shade that PARC created. I tip my hat, raise a glass and salute you all.
