This is a very good comment. ChatGPT uses language so fluidly it's easy to interpret as there being more substance than there is.

Looking at the response the way you suggest, it's clear it's given a boilerplate answer that would seem likely given the context it has found itself in.

Error messages are one of the items on my mental code review checklist that gets very often excersized, since going from terrible to OK is usually pretty easy, but it's often a very different mindset from the actual programming task that introduced that error pathway.

So usually it's up to the reviewer to notice and guide the author to that improvement.
They used the home phone

the trouble is of course, today there are no home phones anymore. the last one i saw a few years ago in china. but even when our internet service came with a phone we didn't bother connecting it. sooner or later home phones will be extinct.

there are laptops and internet but then it depends which messaging services work with out a phone. telegram, signal, whatsapp, wechat all require a phone.

i suppose a shared family mobile might work for calls, but not for messaging where surely everyone should have their own account.
This probably was caused by poor design of the charger.

For a huge overcurrent event to happen, some of the switching elements in the power converter failed (or their control logic did).

However, that is a reasonably foreseeable event. The charger should have been tested for what happens when each piece of the charger fails open circuit or short circuit.

It is perfectly possible to design control electronics which can detect the failure of any piece and adjust the control strategy of the other parts of the circuit to prevent damage to whatever is on the output.
The settings app on iOS is full with prompts to subscribe to iCloud and appletv (even showing you a red alert, which makes it looks like there is something wrong with your phone).

They only go away if you subscribe. I still get the prompt for 1 year free appletv, although I already used that. When I click on it gets stuck on an infinite loading screen.

Oh, and apple care prompts on new phones until your device is not eligible for that anymore.
For depression, perhaps. Misery loves company.

But for stress - if you were leaving a job because you found it too stressful, wouldn't you be eager to chill out and take things easy at your new job?

Not at all that Mr.Rogers. Interesting read, especially being in my old neighborhood yet far removed from anything I'd ever see first hand, but very clickbait title.
The well cited “Conways Law” in technology falls into this category. I can barely remember a week going past in the last 3 years without someone quoting it. As part of my PhD research, I’ve read the paper deeply, and the idea that it proves the companies ship their organisational structures is such a misuse of the research. I wonder how many people have ever read the original

It is entirely normal to have a test period of 1-3 months here (inside the EU, which is not homogenous and doesn't look like the UK at all) where you can be fired immediately.
I recently read the first half of this: https://writings.stephenwolfram.com/2023/02/what-is-chatgpt-... and as a programmer I can quite easily understand it, not completely but I immediately had similar thoughts to you...even if you are joking :)

If you kind of understand how the prediction works, you're likely able to become quite good prompting it to generate mostly functional things.I really believe a lot of the articles we see here are people doing just that, understanding how the tool works, then getting 80% of the way to something functional , then using actual programming knowledge to make things work.

I do think as others have said, this puzzle game has already existed so nothing was really invented, but...how would you know that if you didn't know the name or the format of the original puzzle game.
This was the problem I found with Vault too - I ended up as the only person in the company that knew how to use it and therefore it became a burden very quickly. We switched to EnvKey which basically has zero learning curve.
I don't buy that it has to be this complex.

We could write to buffers at 60 Hz effortlessly with computers from 1999, speeds have increased more than enough to write to buffers at 120 Hz and more, even with 16x more pixels.

1/120th of a second is a huge amount of time in CPU/GPU clock ticks, more than enough to compute a frame and write it to a double buffer to swap, and more threads should make that easier to do, not harder: more threads can compute pixels so pixels can be put in the buffer faster.

If there's problems with connector standards, software side of things, multithreading making it require third-party complexity, then that's a problem of those connector standards, the software, things like the LCD monitors themselves trying to be too smart and add delay, etc... Take also for example the AI upscaling done in NVidia cards now: adding yet more latency (since it needs multiple frames to compute this) and complexity (and I've seen it create artefacts too, then I'd rather just have a predictable bicubic or lanczos upscaling).

Same with audio: why do people tolerate such latency with bluetooth audio? Aptx had much less latency but the latest headphones don't support it anymore, only huge delay.

I just have a couple of points to make that are not advice and not at all trying to tell you how to live.

1) My brother died from a sudden illness (genetic, but no known predisposition in our family, e.g., unavoidable) in his 30's with four young children. Stress was really bad for this. Accepting significant stress and burnout now for only a possibly low-stress future is not necessarily a good bet or trade-off.

2) My dad was a workaholic because he was worried about money and retirement and being the "invaluable employee" when I was a kid. He worked often until late at night and on weekends. He came to lots of my games and stuff, but he always missed everyday life. Always. He and his mates were all eventually "downsized" from his high-paying job at a Fortune 100 when they sold off his software development unit to a competitor when I was a late teenager. He realized he fucked up our relationships and was fucked up himself by the lack of work-life balance, and took a job that was less demanding and of course paid less, but it was already pretty late by then. I was maybe 17 or so already. You can't get that back, and our relationship was never the same as when I was really little.

Anyway, a fat paycheck is nice, but there are other nice things in life too. I hope you do what is right for you.

Do we know that for certain?

Travel gives people crucial exposure to other parts of the country and world.

Moreover, getting a job in a city often requires being able to get temporary lodging in that city due to the discrimination non-locals face when applying for jobs.

With tenant protection laws and rent control, the available stock of rentals can be extremely small, making it harder for people with poorer references to find shorter-term leases. Short-term rentals provide a means for these individuals to acquire the temporary housing they need to pursue job opportunities in other cities.

Given most of the productivity growth is, due agglomeration effects, accruing to just a couple megapolises: New York and the San Francisco Bay Area[1], short term rental stock can be a means of expanding opportunities for people not privileged enough to not already live in these cities.

Well, you are right that depression is not an attitude. It's a disease, a malfunction. But like any other disease, it can happen from or be aggravated by external factors.

If you are, to some degree, predisposed to depression, you are more likely to aggravate or trigger it by living in an hostile environment than if you are living your dream life.

It's like being predisposed to cardiovascular diseases : even if you are predisposed, you are more likely to not have any issue if you never encounter stress, eat healthy and have an active life.

Saying depression can be contagious by no means implies that depression is an attitude and not a disease.

>But if you start going down that route, isn’t it likely that you’d end up making Ruff into a full-blown interpreter?

Not any more than with any other DSL. You can always stop at a subset enough to handle expressing linting rules. Or expressing many linting rules. Doesn't need to be able to express every possible rule -- which is the reason you'd make it a full blown interpeter. Pareto and all.

Even if that's not possible (and you need turing completness to handle custom rules), then:

>At either of which point, the motivation to use Ruff instead of e.g. Pylint might begin to disappear?

Well, Ruff would still have crazily faster parsing and built-in rules. It's not like you'd be forced to use custom interpreted rules.

And even in that case, a purpose-specific built interpeter, even if general, could be way faster (because it's optimized for a specific task and doesn't need to carry garbage as the GIL and other CPython decisions), and with better task-focused primitives, compared to embedding CPython.
Extra virgin baby oil comes from gently squeezing. This is the only one aproved by peta

Virgin baby oil is extracted using a press.

Bog standard baby oil basically uses a blender, and then a centrifuge to get the last of the oil out.

Fun fact Johnson and Johnson is so called because it only used boys, under the mistaken belief that girl oil may make boys weak. Obviously in today's enlightened age such sexism is a thing of the past.
1. AirBnB couldn’t have more available properties simply because it is a subset of all available properties.

2. Not sure what calculus you used to determine that they live at the locals’ expense. Surely people paid for their properties and local products including paying VAT.

The spinach story reminds me a lot on the false recommendation of siphash for hash table DDOS prevention. https://github.com/rurban/smhasher#security

The authors came up in their widely cited paper with a proper solution to spread the random hash seed into the inner loop, vastly enhancing its security by avoiding trivial hash collision attacks. But a secure, slow hash function can never prevent from normal hash seed attacks, when the random seed is known somehow. esp. with dynamic languages it's trivial to get the seed externally.

Other trivial countermeasures must be used then, which also don't make hash tables 10x slower, keeping them practical.

Having kids isn't that cheap even outside the US.

I estimate I spend about €1000 more per month for having one baby. It's pretty significant in a country where the average employee earns €2000/month after tax (and a senior engineer is at €3500/month roughly).
question here is "why does a photograph exist". Problem with this kind of question is that the answer is either personal and subjective, or it's an enumeration and an attempt to unite all (or subset) of the subjective reasons into some coherent theory.

What You're referring to reminds me of something like event photography. Photos that serve as a souvenir of an event / person / thing. Pictures that can be described as having "moment captured in time" as their raison d'etre. These are indeed unlikely to be replaced anytime soon.

But that's only a small subset of what we use photographs for. Lots of photography is about capturing an emmotion, rather than reality. Think of all the marketing (to name the biggest economic factor). If You're making an ad for watches, You don't give a damn if that cool guy wearing them is real or not. If You're a hotel or some travel agency, You are probably going to need "smiling happy couples / families around an infinity pool with a sunny beach as a background". Oh, hej, looks like that's actually a Stable Diffusion prompt...
I tried to compile seamonkey and firefox from source. They both failed at the rustc compiler checking.

Apparently the trend in SW development is to compile one moving target with another moving target.
Bullshit is far more insidious than a lie, for a lie is wrong and will come to light, but bullshit is uncorrelated with truth and may even be coincident with it. Thus bullshit can go unnoticed far longer.

To me life is a combination of what you're given (e:g brains, opportunities, motivation, responsibilities) and how you play it. An analogy is the card game "Oh hell", which resembles Bridge but much simpler. You have to say how many tricks you'll make. After a round you receive a point for each trick you make, plus 10 extra if you make exactly what you said. This means a great hand is one with high cards that'll obviously win points combined with high /many trumps to control things. A crappy hand i:e all low cards, might also be a good hand if its easy to call 0 and therefore get 10 points easily. Some hands are hard to play - say you hold ace and many cards in one suit but no trumps, so someone might trump you, hard to call , 0 is dangerous because you might win a trick. If you go over your predicted half way through a round, it then makes sense to change strategy and get as many tricks as you can, throwing other players into disarray. In this situation a bit of luck may compensate somewhat for having had bad luck with a hard to call hand initially. Its quite a fun interesting game and I do feel life is like that. Also, I've met a bloke in is 20s who had an accident and ended up in a wheelchair for life. Amazingly to everyone who heard this, he said he didn't regret the accident, because before it he'd been on the wrong track in life, and afterwards, he'd met a lot of great people, made better friends, had a better life, done things he never thought he'd do. Most of the rest of us found it hard to imagine feeling like this. So.... its complicated ;)

You guys are funny. An AI generates a game, comes up with the rules, writes the code and designs the web page for it. Your reactions:

- Bah, it's not very fun.

- It's been done before.

- It took too long to make.

Seriously. Let me repeat that. An AI generates a game. It comes up with the rules for the game. It even writes the code and designs the web page for it!

Come on! This is amazing!
I thought the article recently about the guy who used Mindjourney (https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2023/02/viral...) to generate a bunch of images which people on Instagram loved was fascinating.

It was quite amazing how much actual manual work was going into some (not all) of those images in the end.

A lot of processing in photoshop etc. I actually started to think that really, he was doing art, just not using a brush.
I wonder when rich countries (excluding Japan due to their culture) will start to agressively complete with each other for middle or high skilled foreign labour to plug vital gaps. Offering not only green cards or EU blue cards, but eventual citizenship, university tenureship, guarantee minimum salaries and more goodies, without caps on the numbers per year. Kind of like how Dubai or Australia does for nurses today, but for all sectors of the economy.

This just a consequence of midwits - the "Adam Ruins Eveything" mindset. These people have been taught that all observations must be signed off by a scientific study. No matter how banal the observation may be or how inapplicable the scientific method is to it, "the scientific community" must be shown to accept the observation because scientists are a priestly class who play the role of truth tellers in our society.

AirBnB absolutely removes housing from the one rental market that matters - long term rentals. This is quite easy to see, as well as its influence on supply and thus pricing. In 2020 the number of long term let's available in Dublin doubled thanks to tourism shutting down and landlord switching. Sadly that's likely all been lost now.

Short term lets are nowhere near as important as long term ones, especially vacation rentals. They're actively harmful often, especially with the way AirBnB takes supply from the long-term lets.
great game thx

It raises some questions for me about how far this current model can actually scale / evolve without getting a bit too far out to be useful for human use. But it can (sometimes) connect things in ways that people have likely never seen before.

China famously has capital restrictions - max 50K USD I think - how can this 'investor' not know this? It's a key reason why China did not take a hit during the Asian Financial Crisis.

I honestly don’t know if I was joking or not but the breadth of replies is interesting.
I'm not sure what you mean by demographics.

To arrive at better solutions faster, it's important for team members to have diverse backgrounds and experiences. Homogeneous teams may become stuck in local optima.

Another factor to consider is the skill level, experience, and character of the individuals.

If team members have low skills, are juniors, or are only motivated by a high salary, then they will need a micromanaged organizational structure with a heavyweight and bureaucratic SDLC like Scrum or SAFe.

However, if team members are highly skilled, experienced, and passionate about their work, they can be given goals/OKRs, a budget, and a deadline, and they will be able to figure out how to achieve the objectives on their own.
Well it's not "lying", it's just making stuff up, which is what it has to do to be "original" or createive, else every time you clicked generate it would give you the same answer, same code etc.
No, because ChatGPT doesn't understand "concepts". It helps to understand that all it does is take your prompt and generate the most likely words that will satisfy the user. This is how it was trained.

That doesn't mean it won't regurgitate preexisting material (ask it to recount the constitution, for example), but it can definitely connect words in way that describes novel ideas.
I would think of it more like: if you want to learn to play the piano, you'll need to sit down, learn some music theory and practice scales.

This advice isn't necessarily the only way to go especially if you're happy just tapping out Chopsticks, but as a general rule ... it's a proven path.

Same applies for electronic music: you need some understanding of theory, terminology and available tools, else you just end up twiddling knobs and creating "cool" effects.
