Yup. If you're a regular BQ user and you have VC funding, buy reserved slots.

If you're a regular BQ user and you're bootstrapped, then get into the habit of checking the top right of the console screen before you press the query button.

I have my own Japanese train conductor ritual, in which I verbalise to myself "The screen says 3TB will be scanned. This will cost me $15. That is as expected." After a couple of seconds pause, I press the button.
I’d say their reputation as a tech company predated AWS and AWS/Kindle/Alexa were pushes to create the multiple expansion across their retail revenue which is enormous. The fake hype around drone delivery was another push to display they were innovative which they really just made a commercial.

The fact AWS ultimately was successful particularly at driving profit was luck. The core of their business and culture is still retail.

Their retail strategy and scale on the internet meant they needed technical expertise the same as how a traditional retail company needs real estate, construction, and merchandising expertise. It doesn’t make them a tech company because they utilized tech in a large scale and had the physical assets and data center expertise to launch a product like AWSes.
I'm pretty certain the same team made that DSi update. I think they added one more developer.
The most important first step is to test your current levels. Then you can use a Vitamin D calculator[1] to help get you a starting point for how much to supplement based on your desired target level -- recommended target range is 40-60 ng/ml (100-150 nmol/L). Then re-test in 3-6 months to check levels and adjust supplementation as needed.

Ha, Emacs, sbcl and gcc are exactly what I've been using for development for the past few months on my Raspberry Pi 4 desktop replacement.
> - GQL allows unbounded arbitrary queries. The awkward workarounds turn it into REST with none of REST semantics

This is essentially a solved problem. You simply give all your fields a complexity value and then you limit the allowed complexity.

> - instead of delegating requests to optimized queries (db or services) you now collect all that data manually, in-memory, on the server with little to no insight into what the data is, and how to optimize its retrieval

Or you simply integrate tightly with an ORM or something and generate optimized queries from your GQL queries.

> - default types doesn't provide useful primitives like dates

Just not really an issue in practice, and really comes down to the underlying transport medium. JSON is limited. If you send a date over the string, it's either going to be a timestamp or a string. Your consumer will still need to know it's actually a date that needs to be deserialized. At least in GQL this is easy to do.

> - you now have to keep up with evolution of every single microservices you depend on

How is this a problem with GQL? Do you think that API versioning is in any way easier to when you have REST APIs? It's actually the opposite, because OpenAPI schemas suck and there is no great tooling that helps you stay on top of the changes. In contrast, there is excellent tooling for GQL that literally diff your new schema vs the old and tell you if any recent clients would be affected. You can do all this as part of your workflow(in CI etc) and act accordingly.
Exceptions have implied control flow which makes them strictly worse than the Result types which are, as their name suggests, just types.

Imagine if some other common types had unrelated features like this baked into them. Want a string? Sorry in my new language all the strings need their own separate thread for some reason.

Actually sorry, I forgot, we're in a Java topic, Java actually did have features baked into types. All of Java's user defined types insisted on living on the heap. Just want to make a pair of integers? Sorry, that's an Object now and so it lives on the heap, whereas just one integer is fine, those are just local stack variables. Did they fix that yet?
Many of them are documented crooks from beforehand.
A routing table being a list pairing an address to a location. Same with addresses. You need to know where London is or the next post hub where to send the letter.
Yes, GraphQL allows you to expose a domain. What is a really big problem, because websites are organized as an hierarchy of resources, applications are organized as a collection of actions, and nobody on the user-facing side ever thinks about a domain of small interrelated things.

With nobody thinking about the interface, you are left with the classical dilemma between usability and security. And all GraphQL tooling seems to floor their feet on the usability side.
This is not about renting. It's just weird when some people consider themselves home-owners when they haven't actually paid for their house.

Being a home owner is a great thing, but that something very few people can achieve today at an age when they can still get a hard-on.
It can't "lie." It has no concept of right and wrong, truth or not truth. It's simply trying to provide an answer with a high probability of being correct. It lacks motives to even be capable of a lie - it simply was incorrect. This article, and many others like it, are sci fi hogwash. The real dangers this kind of software poses has entirely to do with the people that will use it for harm/deception, not the AI itself.
Came here to post the exact same thing.

I think the Mom Test should be required reading in business school. Absolutely amazing book.
Medical students have been using propranolol (heart beat rate reducer) to calm down they exam anxiety since half a century ago. I used it during my exams too. Very effective, quick and safe. The same goes for atenolol and other beta blockers.
Still, there is truth to their comment. It's at least become a lot more accessible to get the tools to do that sort of work with Amazon. 3d printing has also become more convenient and accessible. YouTube sheds a lot of light for a lot of people into how things are made. I think setting up an online store has probably become a lot easier, too. These things are big changes of the last 10-15 years or so.

I don’t understand why people find this hard: chargpt is not sentient. None of them are.

They are a bunch of glorified statistical modes. You type something, they use a statistical model to decide what to look up, then they use a statistical model to weigh the importance/relevance of each thing they find, then they use a statistical model to make the answer text look like a human answer according to a statistical mode they built.

That’s why the happily produce incorrect answers “made to look real”: it’s just Google with a prose engine in front of it, and for some reason people now think webmd etc are more accurate because the response has been laundered through that engine.
Second half of the Mom Test covers this a bit more.
So, put them all in a central location. It's very doable, for I have this very thing in my config.

You can do all that with humans too, perhaps less ethically.
I've been experimenting with a few different formats.
Think the best updates don't take longer than a few hours to write because they should have been in the making for the whole time. It's like "closing the books".

Need to wrap our next update. Think I'll start with this format.
Yup, same here. I have the best note taking and task management apps money can buy (imo) but I still use dot grid legal pads for many things. I find I use the two sets of tools very differently, despite seeming redundant on the surface.
So more likely they are comparing wayland and X.
This is a really dumb reasoning.

If the "Pro Apples" party voted to ban apples, would that be the metric by which we defined Pro Apples?
If you own a home and have a mortgage, there is a lien on your property.

There are many ways a lien could be granted on property you own; taking a mortgage, loss of a civil suit, unpaid property taxes are a few common ways.

It is fine to say you don't own anything with liens on it "free and clear". The lien places limits on your ability to do certain things, mostly (quite reasonably) changing ownership.

But ownership is about control, and no one ever has complete control over any physical property, so owning with a mortgage is certainly well within the sphere of what most people think of ownership as.
Do they ever sell old graviton machines as salvage? Arenithey on revision 3 now? I'd like one of those.
Have you tried connecting with local universities first and researchers and professors there?

It's an approach we've been taking in the neurotech space, though there is quite a bit of neurotech in Sydney, Australia, the companies are a bit harder to get in with compared to the universities, but of course, the university graduates end up working for the companies, so it can help expand your network.

You may find the universities also have a need, though not as obvious as the pharma companies.

If this is useful for you, I'd be keen to know, so please follow-up (email in my profile).
Well, at least we are speaking the same language, finally. Only I think we just genuinely disagree on some definitions. To me, it could be written “unethical to use in a professional setting” and I’d agree wholeheartedly. To me, this is the crux of my comments—where they got the image has little to do with how and to whom it is displayed. I’ll clarify further by saying the only reason I mentioned regret vs not is in connection with that word “source” and had less to do with the specific situation.

Yes.

It means there may be signal in the noise. Even if it's overfitting. Which makes sense.

A sufficiently granular map of the human brain aught to be readable, if you know what the input and output signals are.
This is true.

Everyone knows that old dudes can’t code.

Thank you for taking time to reply. It's awesome to see the insider's view a bit here.
Faster to run or compile?
The use of acronyms without definition is exhausting. A three letter one which has multiple uses all the more so.

Apple is the odd one out here, considering they've been making substantial efforts to move things on to consumer devices. For example, the ML-driven auto-categorization of pictures you keep in the Photos app happens on-device in the background whether or not you have any subscriptions.
I think what is shocking about this is the imbalance of power. Though it certainly would still be shocking if JP Morgan also stated that they would require themselves to give at least 6 months notice.
I read Kiev with an /ɛ/ sound, and Kyiv with an /ɪ/ sound.

In my head, at least. I've just realized that I haven't needed to verbally refer to this place since I became aware of the renaming. In fact, I don't know that I've ever said either one out loud.
I think the "ClosedAI" jokes have been pretty boring since before the first person even made them. Every comment thread has at least 4 people making it
I'm really enjoying my LG 27EP950. I got it for 40% off on Amazon. The blacks and colors are amazing and the text clarity is pretty great. Really the only thing I would change is the refresh rate, but I am used to 60Hz again at this point.
The anti GQL circle jerk goes too far. GraphQL is often overkill but it’s awesome if you take advantage of the powers of federation and field specification. If you don’t see a difference between retrieving all fields and just the ones you need then you just haven’t encountered the cases where it makes a difference.
"Less reliable: Layer 7 does not provide the same level of reliability as Layer 4, as it does not have the same error-checking mechanisms."

Uh, doesn't stuff like HTTP run on top of layer 4? (eg, tcp). This article doesn't seem entirely correct, but I'm a dunce with this stuff.
My setup is to have a large 4k tv on the wall beyond my desk, hooked up to both a Mac Studio and Windows PC.

That clears my desk, removes my need for reading glasses, makes work legible from anywhere in the room, easy to demo stuff, ...

Having the screen on the wall also makes the room feel less cluttered.
+1 to this. I remember installing software in 1998 on Red Hat and it was absolute hell. It was a hit or miss endeavor and when it failed, it failed badly. All those broken dependencies took ages to resolve.

Then I switched to Debian Potato and never turned back. It was such a clean and sane experience.

Unfortunately, I could not scape rpm hell at work as Fermi Linux, and then CERN Linux, were both based on Red Hat.

Yes, you’re correct. The title sucks.
We aren’t perfect either. Why would this be expected of an AI? Because of the AI in the Alien film? Cultural preconceptions?

This is a really interesting question I ask myself too, why do we expect perfection if the original knowledge base and is built on in perfect data, and the bot is fed spam?
> By that view you never own land since you’re always on the hook for property tax, which is a kind of rent.

Bad comparison. That both failing to pay off a loan or pay property taxes can lead to foreclosure is a superficial similarity. Property tax isn't paying off a debt you owe a bank for a loan used to buy the house. It's merely a tax collected to cover municipal expenses that's calculated based on the value of your house.

Now as to whether the bank owns the house you bought using a loan, morally there is a certain practical truthfulness to that statement, perhaps, and for practical purposes is may be somewhat pedantic making distinction that determine "true" ownership. But strictly speaking, as with borrowing in general, if a loan is money you've borrowed that you then use to buy an asset like a house, then what you owe the lender isn't the house, but the value of the loan. If I lend you $20, and you buy a book with that money, you don't owe me the book, you owe me $20.
I kind of want to amend that! I discovered today that maybe there is hope with granular update libraries such as Jotai, @preact/signals-react and recoiljs.
Generally the opposite takes are by people who can afford to rent and invest in the stock market at the same time.

It's easy to see why it doesn't hold for the majority of renters.
/g/ is ridiculously overdramatic (and often offensive, though much less so than the political boards where the nazis fester), but regularly interesting. Agree that the pessimism here is misplaced, but not by much. The main change I see is not that AI will render coding or coders superfluous, but that it will massively shift the economics in favor of solo developers and small teams that don't have access to significant capital.
> probably the real reason people do this is because they want to decouple development between Team UI and Team Product and Team Pricing, and it's just "easier" to expose "web SQL" to Team UI and let them go nuts, rather than sitting down with them an exposing targeted endpoints that give them exactly what they need.

That's the only reason why teams use GraphQL. Decoupling taken to the extreme.
I get an email about once a week from someone trying to help me solve problems. They’re all annoying garbage because even though they all pretend to be personal and friendly, they’re just automatic template form letters.

I might consider one if they’ve done some homework about my specific situation and have a manually crafted email.

If you’ve decided you need to send spam, please just don’t try. And certainly don’t send break-up emails just because I’m ignoring your spam: https://ibb.co/n8gQY0d
I had access to--and used--OneMedical through my employer-provided health insurance for a couple years. The way to understand it isn't as an alternative to your health insurance, but as a care-provider network with a nice app and a bunch of offices (at least in the Bay Area, where I lived at the time) that you pay a subscription to.

Overall, my experience was pretty good (with the caveat that this is all in the context of the US healthcare system, so the bar is rather low): I was happy with my PCP[0] and the overall level of care provided, and scheduling appointments (with my PCP or otherwise) was always really easy and straightforward[1]. I also never personally ran into any weird/scammy billing issues, something which I have encountered with some frequency at other healthcare providers[2].

That all being said, my work provided access to OneMedical as a perk, and I'm not sure if I'd pay the membership fee out of my own pocket if I ever move back to a city where they offer coverage (even setting aside concerns about its acquisition by Amazon).

[0] n=1, and I'm a white dude without any serious chronic illnesses or ailments, so take with the obvious grains of salt

[1] I was basically always able to schedule appointments within a week, and usually same- or next-day, which IME is unheard of in the American medical system in general. As a contrasting example, when I tried to find a PCP about a year prior to enrolling in OneMedical, but still living in the same metro area, most scheduling offices told me that there would be a 3-6 month waiting period for scheduling a routine physical, assuming they were taking new patients in the first place.

[2] Again, n=1, so I doubt this is really a generalizeable data point.

As a rule, I don’t complain about changes in language that make things more terse or clear. Main is better than master.
There are many examples, but let's speak for instance of the fact that Python has privacy by convention and not by semantics.

This is very useful when you're writing unit tests or when you want to monkey-patch a behavior and don't have time for the refactoring that this would deserve.

On the other hand, this means that a module or class, no matter how well tested and documented and annotated with types, could be entirely broken because another piece of code is monkey-patching that class, possibly from another library.

Is it the case? Probably not. But how can you be sure?

Another (related) example: PyTorch. Extremely useful library, as we have all witnessed for a few years. But that model you just downloaded (dynamically?) from Hugging Face (or anywhere else) can actually run arbitrary code, possibly monkey-patching your classes (see above).

Is it the case? Probably not. But how can you be sure?

Cue in supply chain attacks.

That's what I mean by auditing for safety and security. With Python, you can get quite quickly to the result you're aiming for, or something close. But it's really, really, really hard to be sure that your code is actually safe and secure.

And while I believe that Python is an excellent tool for many tasks, I am also something of an expert in safety, with some experience in security, and I consider that Python is a risky foundation to develop any safety- or security-critical application or service.
My point is that these "foot in the door" changes are reasonable on their own merits without it being some ulterior motive to ask for more later. And making the assumption that there is indeed this motivation to ask for more later, and so we should disallow these requests today, is the slippery slope "what will they ask for next?!" fallacy

I agree that human psychology likely works that way, though.
Exactly. Did you miss the gp comment?
Tax lien foreclosures and tax deed sales are absolutely a thing. You certainly can lose your house for not paying property taxes.
The naming of "resource" is a bit unsettling. From the perspective of the server, it seems natural to think of all databases and external machines. "Representation" sits better with me, but ultimately in the code, I would prefer to name the REST endpoint as a "service".
Looks like we know why Mozilla is falling behind, they are wasting limited dev time removing these things..

There was this research where they reconstructed human face images from monkey brain scan. https://www.electronicproducts.com/scientists-reconstruct-im...

What's astonishing here is the quality of reconstruction. But I have not seen this research referenced a lot. Does someone how /why the reconstruction from monkey brain looks so perfect while we don't have anything close from human brain?

Edit: better images here https://www.newscientist.com/article/2133343-photos-of-human...
That's entirely possible.

How could we check?
UBI is a utopia where the powerful state serves the people, while simultaneously keeping other states in check. Same for healthcare: it's not the greedy employers who support this, it's the state itself, its ruthless need to subdue and control anything within its reach.
I don't think anyone is debating that. I think people are debating, "How much are we just biological statistical models?" and then working backwards to understand at what threshold do we consider intelligent-like behavior sentient.

When are we just creating something intelligent and "sentient" but incoherent?
It’s frankly a little silly to play word games like this when our world is clearly changing much faster than language usually does.

There are practical, obvious differences between stubbing your toe and something that’s loosely aligned yet probably capable of convincing people en masse to do actions in the real world (or will be soon, at best). If your word games contradict the plainly obvious fact, it’s a good sign your words are just failing you.

“Malevolent” is a perfectly understandable stand-in for “non-sentient yet active agent with apparently negative valence”
Colors and fonts especially. After ten years my brain is fast at reading a GitHub diff. It’s pretty slow at reading a terminal diff because I don’t do it very much.
Don't people already give large percentages of their income to an organization that is supposed to provide services for the impoverished? How would giving another 10% solve poverty?
Legally speaking the sovereign state is a superior landlord. Property tax isn't a debt, it's a rent to a landlord.

That the state putatively spends that money on common goods has no bearing on the landlord relationship.

I wrote my game design journals by hand for a while. I didn't find the quality to be better necessarily, but it did allow for me to draw diagrams inline whenever I needed to so it was nice for that.

And I liked that I had a physical artifact afterwards, especially since the writing had a bit of visual personality while computer text does not.

But it takes forever to write by hand. I'd spend like 8+ hours a week just writing that journal, and I'd often have a cramped hand afterwards. Still did it that way for a couple years, though. And I still like referring to them from time to time.
