This seems similar to ranking websites based on "Google's Lighthouse" scores... which is interesting, but not the defining attributes of a good website.

I also think there's way more metadata that could be useful in ranking. Things like API documentation, communities, usage cost, complexity of API, statefulness, age of the API...

Anyway, looks like a cool project that will be useful to some people
ChatGPT can't access the external internet. The example ChatGPT instruction where they "teach it" just has the user giving it a URL to their docs and ChatGPT is like "oh ok got it" (Figure 3). I'm not sure if the blog post writers are aware it's hallucinating what the JSON implementation is and hasn't actually read the documentation at all.
Alas. That is never the case.
I'd say that's a crude reductionist view. See https://www.jstor.org/stable/2118406 to name one paper but there's tons of research on the link between capital markets and economic growth
A paper from a week ago found that models trained on multiple data modes perform an order of magnitude better than text-only models of the same or even larger size.

Alot of airports used to make it to cut costs. Some also had special drain systems for reclaiming the fluid. Others had a subcontractor company come and suck it up as you sprayed the planes.

There was also type 1 and type 2: Type 1 was the watery antifreeze like stuff, type 2 was jelly-like meant to spray on the plane as it was waiting to take off to keep the ice from reforming. Type 2 was much more expensive than type 1 and the first thing you learn is to not use type 2 unless told to.

There was also IR tents at some of the NYC area airports but they only served planes smaller than a 737. I think the port authority removed them about 10 years ago.
You did. It's just taking a long time.
Open AI et al (are there others with apis you can run now?) are essentially jockeying to be commodity providers at this point though. A more interesting signal to me will be when the value-add" businesses start racing to the bottom cost-wise. As the article said, there are scores of businesses trying to enter this space. Will there be any actual traction in the value that companies can add on top of foundation models, or will it devolve to who can resell the cheapest. I'm still betting on the latter

And the remaining ~200 paragraphs describe an interaction that sounds to me very much like a director and producer collaborating on a doomed Hollywood production with one of his staff and the investors she brought on to the production.

The context provided by the entire rest of the piece is pretty important.

It is not just syntax. While python has Java-like OOP from a far, Julia has a distinct language design. It doesn't have a concept of "class" in the traditional sense. It instead has multiple dispatch, which is very flexible but sometimes too flexible to control. I found Julia harder to write for an averaged programmer. Furthermore, the time-to-first-plot problem had pissed off many early adopters (I know a few and they won't come back) and apparently remains a problem for some [1].

Julia is a great niche language for what it is good at. It will survive but won't gain much popularity.

> The example ChatGPT instruction where they "teach it" just has the user giving it a URL to their docs and ChatGPT is like "oh ok got it".

Yep. I asked it to summarize a URL. It happily invented something completely fabricated and convincing sounding (until you go to the URL) based of the domain name and article slug.
Translation is a high-skill job and isn’t payed appropriately anymore nowadays. So getting subpar results when outsourcing to a random translator probably isn’t surprising.
I haven't found good platform accessibility API bindings for C#, so right now it just has narration support, adjustable text size/contrast, and full keyboard navigation. I'm hoping that later on in my project's development process I'll have the budget to hire someone to try and fully integrate with the platform APIs - it's designed so it will be possible by pushing updates to the retained model.

The way it works is that it has an immediate mode API (see https://github.com/sq/Libraries/blob/0ca01d949e3df5fabb1440d... for a simple example of the API) and then under the hood it uses a lightweight retained-mode graph, which means that when it's more convenient you can just write more traditional classes and components. In practice most of the UI I've written for my main project is a mix of both models, like for example an editor popup window uses IMGUI-style API while the items in a virtual listbox are represented by a small custom component.

It does have a full imgui-style layout engine under the hood instead of doing retained-mode layout, so it's able to fully re-generate layout from scratch every frame, and to minimize page tearing there is a system where components can request a second relayout pass (typically used for things like text autosize).

Here's a more complex mixed-mode example from one of my development tools: https://gist.github.com/kg/6a6ba42d5019b546858a2b18751de019

Almost all of the on-screen elements in this footage are either immediate-mode or retained-mode UI using the library: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ey3FtFWxbhA
Seems like it was just indicating "our autocorrect is how the user got here" and there are certainly a LOT of other ways a browser could communicate that far, far more sneakily.
We’ll that’s what you’re hoping for.

However I think this is why self-driving cars aren’t necessarily going so well. In some ways they are, in other ways they fail catastrophically. Maybe statistically the self driving cars are better performers but form a product perspective, having a failure mode of death or serious injury isn’t a good thing.

The black box has failure modes we don’t understand, like crashing into fire trucks.

So black boxes are good for experiments, but please don’t hook up the black box to a nuclear missile solo, or airplane cockpit just yet thanks.
Your employees don't accept t-bills as payment. Your suppliers don't accept them either. To do business, you need money in a bank account. Not all your money, but a decent chunk of money needs to be there for day to day.

There is a concern with public contracts about whether things were truly above board or public money was being used to support ideological allies. The initial coverage doesn’t sound like it but given how many Americans would have said Nazism was over as a political force before the middle of the previous century, I think it’s understandable that there’s concern about how deep something like this truly goes. For example, the article mentioned her working for a law firm – I am certain they have at least one client who had to pause and ask whether they were truly getting the best representation possible.

Today at work I hadnt used apache spark in a long time. I needed to do some quick and dirty data analytics on large datasets. Rather than read documentation, I just put the queries i needed in english into chatGPT, and it spit out perfectly working code. The queries werent that complex, but it saved me hours googling a bunch of random spark SQL syntax.

The old school way is google sends you links, and through those code examples, you build up all the edge cases you need for your code to work.

Thats completely obsolete as a way to synthesize information! Google is going down!

Thanks for reading my daily chat gpt anecdote! Sorry if its irrelevant, I just cant believe how much better it made my day.

The parent commenter is right, and the problem is the mark-to-market rule. This means that the value of the asset must be the current trading value, which goes down as the rates go up. The result is that bank reserves will go down substantially in nominal terms, sometimes faster than they can recoup the value of these investments.
No comment won’t land you in jail.
Every language has idiosyncrasies.

The issue with Java is that right off the bat you are presented with bloat. Just to have a main function requires a class (and people realize this is wrong, which is why Kotlin and Groovy fixed this).

Want a build system? You have to learn a whole another language essentially, like ant/maven/or gradle.

Want to have logs? You have to use a library that has its own xml configuration files that specify behavior, in their own format. Oh and that library may have glaring vulnerabilities where logging something results in FETCHING CODE FROM THE INTERNET AND EXECUTING IT, BY DESIGN. Same goes for most any other public library that is widely used.

Oh and btw, its bad practice in making your class members public, you should make them private. But its also bad practice in writing getters and setters - instead use a library that hacks the AST and writes functions there that are not visible in the code, for which you need special plugins for every IDE to recognize.

I honestly don't know how people deal with this and remain so ignorant to it to continue using Java.
I got a BofA checking account, credits cards and a business car loan in the first month after setting up a brand new corp with 0 assets. It's almost kind of funny how it worked exactly as you described, at BofA.

P.S. which makes me wonder how much of SVB friendliness was just smart marketing. If you look up and down this thread, most of the SVB "explanations" here are strictly circular: "they are good for startups because they are good for startups", with little to none useful info.
> …would result in DRM being less popular because it caused too much friction for users.

I agree. But that wouldn’t lead to more content freely available. It would lead to more content being locked in apps and unavailable in the browser.

Do you think they would’ve made an app for Linux? I don’t.

The dream that all content be available DRM free isn’t happening any time soon. Rights holders clearly don’t want it and I don’t think anyone could marshal a big enough boycott to change that.

So the choice is DRM or no content at all. Given that EME is a good outcome.

If you need (1), you're doing well enough to rent a new space. If you need (2) and want to offer (3), you probably never welded before and people should stay the hell away from your course.

You learn welding by actually welding, and getting it spectacularly wrong for a while. Sometimes quite a while. Sometimes forever.
I also have a different definition of shady than he's using. A setting clearly and prominently described on the options is not shady in by book, regardless of the default.

Would I prefer Firefox had different defaults? Yes. But, I will reserve the word shady for the products actually doing shady things like telemetry in Windows that requires jumping through hoops to turn off.
It strikes me that developing a more renewable grid that decarbonizes energy in both Europe and Africa is one option. There's no reason the electricity can only go from Africa to the UK. It might well flow in reverse on windy nights.

The other is that rich and middle class people in the developed world build their own little microgrids that can easily withstand primary grid outages with all the economic inefficiency that entails. Batteries are relatively scarce still and are far more equitably deployed to the grid writ large than only certain households.

But of course perfect is the enemy of good which is why people are arguing about this online.

I could connect to my Iranian VPN which it's VPS I bought through portals available in English, type "The Climb 2023 دانلود", Click on first google Link and use google translate to find the download link in the page. Or use private trackers like IPTorrent or TorrentLeech through leecher (torrent to direct link) providers available in said countries. Will probably work on any other country/language combo with out copyrights law.
This constantly comes up because people have different understandings of what “middle class” means, or perhaps more importantly, should mean.

I think a reasonable meaning (that the author might accept given the quoted statement) might go like “I live in a neighborhood with a bunch of other successful business owners or highly paid professionals, I must be pretty middle class”. As you rightly point out, that makes you pretty dang successful — more than “middle” seems to imply.

Of course, historically, that is the middle class. But no one cares about history.

From what I can tell, anyone richer than me is clearly not middle class; those bastards are rich. I’m clearly middle class, and hardworking, too. And damn it would suck to be poor in the US.
> You can construct the exact same confusing situation that the thread warns against already today, with abstract methods

The email exchange didn't talk about that kind of confusion; in fact, it said `;` was an option. It just said that saving one or two keystrokes isn't worth it to break the rule that type declarations end in `}` while statements end in `;`.

> there is precedent with interfaces and abstract methods, which also leave out the method body and terminate with a semicolon.

Abstract methods aren't type declarations and they have no body. Also, they've been in Java since day one. It's conceivable that down the line, people will be so used to records that we'll allow `;` to terminate the definition. It's just that we've gone down from a page of code to one line, and adding another rule to save one character isn't worth it at this time.
The article mentions there are three levels of Widevine DRM. I wonder if the level available to Linux (three) not only limits resolution but bitrate, at least as far as what Netflix is willing to serve.

> Almost every third-party firewall for Windows has been able to do this since at least the early 2000s. ZoneAlarm had this functionality in 2001, two years before the initial release of Little Snitch.

ZoneAlarm is a whole antivirus afaik, not just a firewall. If there's something out there that can replicate WFC[0]'s functionality while suspending connections instead of blocking them, I'm all ears, since that's my biggest gripe with how Windows Firewall works (since WFC is only a front-end to it).

> This has been possible via third-party software since the mid-2000s (Virtual Audio Cable, VB-Cable, etc.).

By installing drivers and rebooting your computer and you get a fixed number of them.

On macOS with Loopback and Audio Hijack, you can create any number of virtual audio devices and route audio between them however you want with switches and filters and etc. in real-time.

> The other things have equivalents in Windows, too, like Adobe Illustrator for designs, and trackpad vendor-specific software (e.g. Synaptic, Asus) to use it for handwriting.

Adobe Illustrator is not the same type of software (this is why Adobe created Adobe XD). It's not usable for the reasons I used Sketch.

As for handwriting, Inklet was more advanced than that, it allowed you to scale and move the working area around the screen with gestures, and actually write into other applications instead of a dedicated signature window (which is what this "vendor-specific software" were designed for).

My point isn't that you can find some solution to create a similar result, my point is that the actual pieces of software that are available are quite unique and don't really exist anywhere else.

There's just something attractive about macOS being a true Unix with a huge userbase of people who will pay for good apps.

You get what you pay for. I’ve worked with great translators — the kind who came up with new terms for subjects not previously discussed in the target languages – but they’re not cheap since you’re talking a human with multiple non-trivial skills.

I suspect that the AI tools are going to continue to split that into low-end mass market where businesses don’t care about quality as much as price and a rarified high-end market where a few people hang on to the skilled work.
10 is a very generous number

Oh, I know. Just cause nobody's done it yet doesn't mean it's not fair to say that macOS is the only operating system that has tools like these already made, though.

I wonder why.

But it makes music the one digital good I don't torrent on the reg cuz it's easier to just search it up on Amazon than on some torrent site. (The one weird exception is discographies, since they don't sell those for some reason. For them, archivists' torrents got you covered.)

It's been explicitly stated by the state agencies.

I like my NEM2 pricing because it means I can charge the battery at night when power is cheapest, and sell back what I generate during the day. Also means I have a full battery most of the time in case the power goes down. This would be a way less attractive option under NEM3, and I don't quite understand why this isn't what people are being instructed/incentivized to do generally. I would think the utility would love the flexibility that offers.
Sure, you need some, but many small businesses leave it all in a bank. It's easy to just set up recurring buys of 4 week t-bills that you can halt at any time, payroll is predictable, and suppliers are commonly on net 30-90.

I wanted to purchase a VPS and they took my money before asking for ID. I refused to give them an ID that I didn't have (because I don't have one) and they kept my money and refused to provide service.

In Java you set the language version per source file, and there are occasional and uncommon source incompatibilities, but it's still not worth it to introduce a common incompatibility (which isn't really the case here, anyway).

- shiny and slippery parts

- vacuum gripper (not magnetic)

- cramped picking environment

- works even when things move around (no scene caching)

- fast (video is not sped up)

I feel like the improvement in ChatGPT is not the "intelligence", but the fact that the number of dimensions (abstract-math-sense) in search input have gone up magnitudes over "old-style" key word searches.
Hmm, I'm not sold on this. There's a very real danger of a new feature, which is hard to explain or understand, chasing away non-technical folks. I feel like this should be an official addon for people who want this kind of thing.
