My father was the director of a vocational school and for the beginner those system seems to help.

I myself took some lesson for tig - as other have said, a big part of it was cleaning up and prepping. Prepping the tungstène every minutes made you motivated to improve fast :D

With practice, I can weld in some complicated position. The inconfortable way of working is the biggest issue (under a tube with a mirror for example, with my left hand holding the electrode as a right handed man… ). Nothing can teach you that beside doing it. And it will happen, only more often in a boiler room :D
I suspect there are enough edge cases (semi-transparent things jumps to mind) that it's unlikely to be lossless, anyway.
It almost has to be, that's why small shopping cars (Twingo?) look "happy", cool BMWs look angry, aggressive.
I would start with some of the people currently doing research in that field. It is more computational linguistics than it is philosophy, imho. Maybe start with this guy, in particular some of the NYU summer schools he has hosted:

But the tl;dr is that event semantics is a way of parsing sentences to logical assertions about whether specific events or classes of events have/had/will occur, and that this is a general way of understanding nearly all forms of spoken or written communication (the "nearly" being only due to relatively uninteresting things like interjections and fillers). It wasn't always the case that Davidsonian event semantics was considered complete as a formal framework, but more recent work by Champollion and others have helped fill in the gaps. I'm thinking of this paper in particular:

https://champollion.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/2015-inte...

So a Davidsonian way of understanding a sentence is to turn it into a formal logic statement about the past/present/future or even counter-factual state of the world. And the truth of a statement lies in how well that formal logic matches up with actual reality. To understand a sentence in this framework is to have worked through the logical consequences of that interpretation and know what conditions would make it true and what conditions would make it false.

On the other hand if I tell you "The king of Thailand is riding on an elephant." there is a sense in which you intuitively understand this sentence as soon as you hear it without having worked through all the various edge cases in which it might be true or false. (Am I talking about a painting of the king riding an elephant? Or a movie on YouTube? Or is the king actually riding the elephant right now, at this very moment? etc.)

The problem with your original question is that you are conflating these two meanings of "to understand." When you hear a spoken utterance or read a written sentence, you form a temporary and contextual model in your mind linking its constituent concepts together. A LLM does exactly the same thing. Davidson's event semantics provides a formal framework for clarifying, refining, and extending that understanding with rigorous logical analysis, but that's not something you, I, or a LLM normally do. It is still a valuable thing to do, but shouldn't be conflated with the natural everyday sense of "understanding."
Recording devices can be very small. My valuables take up much more space, and are correspondingly harder to find a good spot for.
I've been using Gandi's free mailboxes since 2019 when I de-Googled, they provide easy setup for SPF/DKIM/DMARC. Not sure about the other two. No significant deliverability issues to report. They offer IMAP and a choice between two web UIs which is all I need.

I'd be more than happy to pay for their service in general, just not under duress. If they'd have given me 6 months to onboard I'd have been perfectly fine with $3/mo for email. If I'm going to be abused with a false sense of urgency and pushed to make a quick decision, I'll just leave.
Not every query string in a URL is about tracking. This will break some sites.

EDIT: Correction, they are very conservative with which strings are filtered out. See here: https://github.com/brave/brave-core/blob/master/browser/net/...
Seeing that the original iPhone used Infineon chips gives me the impression that Apple learned from Motorola how NOT to build mobile phones. Wondering how many Motorola employees went to work at Apple back then.
Crap, I was about to move there because the namecheap CEO is too impulsive and still waiting for the explanation of their "third party getting hacked" a few weeks ago. Where do I go now?
I learned welding in high-school so I'm far from a professional. But I agree you get a lot of feedback from the tactical sensation of the stick / filament and the sound, which would be hard to reproduce in an app.

I've heard from people who have used this VR welding system that there are some key differences between it and real welding, notably for the stick welder version. To simulate the stick being consumed, a servo motor pulls the stick through the back of the handheld part. This results in the balance of the handheld part changing noticeably as you weld.
I suspect there is something wrong with the popularity calculation, would like to know more details about how that was done.
> you now have several different vendors that can ruin your day.

The point is that a single vendor for everything can ruin your life.
60 is the new 30.

Was amazed at how good my latest iPhone feels with 120hz scrolling. It's like magic.
i switched from gandi to porkbun a few years ago and cant recommend them enough. the least crufty domain and dns management site ever too, simple as it should be
The problem is without shared values, you can't define "bad" at a national level.
Both sides believe they are on the "right side of history", that's the problem here.

The "greater good" is "political" in nature, but it's not something that's hyper-partisan like what we seeing occur in the nation. We need a minimum set of neutral rules in nation with a very very wide variety of beliefs to maintain our technological nation.

You can and should think of the greater good in terms of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs at population level.
If you don't have food to eat and energy to keep you warm, self actualization or individuality really don't matter.

> people don’t update tools because it breaks scraping.

What people are you talking about?

Anyone who's on a payroll is liable if they don't upgrade systems when they go out of support. It doesn't happen because of someone's whims... If some individual user chooses to stick with an outdated system: it's on them, and they have no ground to stand on if they complain about it...

> we’d be able to update ifconfig.

No we wouldn't. "ip a" is a tiny fraction of what this command does. The reason it came to be was not that ifconfig needed replacement, but because Linux utilities are a zoo of halfbaked projects, most of which have huge flaws in their design, especially when it comes to extensibility.

Did ifconfig foresee bridge interfaces, bond interfaces, vLANs etc? What about IB? What about sr-iov etc.? -- Nope, and since there wasn't a single structured and systematic tool, that could've been extended by the authors of eg. bridge drivers, they were forced to come up with their own tools, eg. brctl. iproute2 wasn't an improvement on top of ifconfig. It was an aggregation and systematization of various tools and configurations that dealt in a very partial way with various aspects of networking.

There would've been no way to keep any kind of backwards compatibility with ifconfig, so there was no reason to keep the name. It's not an evolution of ifconfig, it's an entirely different thing.
Just out of curiosity, what in the world prompted you to submit the German link to an English news site, and then casually mention the English version, versus the opposite?
But why such complexity? Is it easier to maintain than terraform code?
I struggle to understand what exactly people are coding up where ChatGPT actually saves them a lot of time. Is it just generic stuff that would have already been copy/pasted from stackoverflow?

I wonder how many of those people would just benefit from better auto-complete like copilot + learning how to read documentation properly.

A well designed API with no OpenApi spec support will not show up on this list.
Same here, I'm registered until 2025 and make heavy use of the free mailboxes. I thought this was a good move because by registering a domain I became a paying customer, even if I was also using free-tier services.

Haven't heard any communication from Gandi yet but maybe I can update here if/when it happens.
Picturing Pregnancy in Early Modern Europe
I don't think it's fair to characterize the belief that the people living in a country have a large influence on how that country turns out, as thinking that outside forces have no effect.
I think everyone seems confused about chat gpt and ai in general. The issue is that it doesn't share our values. It can't.

Humans assume that what is being expressed relates to the truth as a basic. This is not chatgpt's goal. It wants to create something that gives the appearance of truth. It's aim is to sell or convince you of something; actually delivering the goods is incidental in its aim to provide what seems right.

Put simply, it generates bullshit - any truthful output it generates is accidental - its only attempting to get your 'sign off'.

The danger is that we all start to live in bespoke worlds curated for us by ai that cater to our individual predilections. As it would be working with our existing biases, we could end up living in an echo chamber that perpetually supports our biases with ever less engagement with reality. We may find it ever harder to discern reality from provided narratives.

You could try another experiment: Pack a fake bomb in your luggage the next time you fly. Upon arrest, point out that it was a fake and you were running an experiment.
I think the main point of the metric though is that SUV's are mostly fashion more than anything else. You can achieve effectively all of the functions of a standard SUV with a lighter, more fuel efficient hatchback. That said, even the term SUV is a misnomer. We should be referring to vehicles as by weight class.

A small hybrid SUV is going to do better than many cars. A god damned Escalade or Expedition has no real reason for being a modern commuter vehicle aside from signaling and preferences.
in the most constructive way possible - you're just being lazy

it just takes practice as you say, and its the kind of practice where feedback is good and nearly instantaneous. it also goes pretty fast. by the 40th hour of welding you should be doing a passibly good job.

yes, you will have to struggle some with issues like bridging, undercutting, porosity, and under-penetration. all those are tractable and pretty easy to debug.

and yeah, if your major problem is cleaning the work or your tungsten, then maybe welding isn't for you...but I kinda doubt it

finishing is where you can really distinguish between the professionals and the weekend warriors.
Love this extension!
We're very clearly having an ontological debate on several concrete and abstract questions. "Can AI be conscious?", "Are AIs agents?" ie: are AIs capable of doing things. "What things?", "Art?", "Copyrightable production?" &c.

Where struggling to come to a conclusion because, fundamentally, people have different ways of attributing these statuses to things, and they rarely communicate them to each other, and even when they do, they more often than not exhibit post-hoc justification rather than first principles reasoning.

Even then, there's the issue of meta-epistomology and how to even choose an epistemological framework for making reasoned ontological statements. Take conferralism as described in Asta's Categories We Live By[1]. We could try applying it as a frame by which we can deduce if we the label "sentient" is in fact conferred to AI by other base properties, institutional and communal, but even the validity of this is challenged.

Don't be mistaken that we can science our way out of it because there's no scientific institution which confers agenthood, or sentience, or even consciousness and the act of institutionalizing it would be wrought with the same problem, who and why would get to choose and on what grounds?

What I'm saying that once framed as a social question, there's no easy escape, but there is still a conclusion. AI is conferred with those labels when people agree they are. In other words, there exists a future where your reality includes conscious AI and everyone else thinks your mad for it. There also exists a future where your reality doesn't include conscious AI and everyone thinks your mad for it.

Right now, Blake Lemoine lives in the former world, but any AI-"non-believer" could just as well find themselves living in a world where everyone has simply accepted that AIs are conscious beings and find themselves ridiculed and mocked.

You might find yourself in a rotated version of that reality on a different topic today. If you've been asking yourself lately, "Has the entire world gone mad?" Simply extrapolate that to questions of AI and in 5-10 years you might be a minority opinion holder on topics today which feel like they are slipping away. These sorts of sand through the fingers reflections so often are a result of epistemological shifts in society which if one doesn't have their ear to the ground, one will find themselves swept into the dustbin of history.

Asking folks, "How do you know that?" is a great way to maintain epistemological relevancy in a changing world.

It's obvious to you, and it's obvious to me. But there are a lot of people for whom it is, in fact, obvious that ChatGPT is intelligent, and likely to be the first wave of our new robot overlords.

Yes, there will be some subset of those people who read articles like this and leap to "it's a conspiracy! they're trying to hide how their AI is going to take over the world!!!!" But there will be many, many more—particularly given that this is in the NY Times—who have only heard some of the wild stories about ChatGPT, but read this article, see that it's by Noam Chomsky, who's still a fairly respected figure by many, and take reassurance from his decent-if-imperfect (by our standards, anyway) explanation of what's really going on here.
I've seen the name around recently on HN and people never seem to have much to say other than they use it and it's well priced -- which means to me it's "boring" and that's exactly what I'm looking for.

A boring company who does 1 thing and does it so well that people dont say good or bad, it's so boring they barely notice it because it gets out the way.
IIRC this is Mac only. Although it is developed on top of Chromium.

I guess Power Users only use Mac.
Where did you read that it removes the whole query string?
It does seem kind of difficult to arrive at no matter how one calculates it.
This looks neat, but after trying several ways I can't reproduce it. I don't get to the interesting part. I don't even get as far as the python program in JSON form.
i think to expect a multi-billion dollar organisation to make consequential decisions like this based on anything other than cold calculation is naive at best and enormously stupid at the very worst.
I mean you're not wrong about the rug pull scenario, and you're specifically increasing reliance on one monolithic company.

That said, you have exactly the same category of risk with hiring an employee or team. They could leave at any point also. You always have the option to contract in handcuffs or a notice period, but then the same applies to the AI tooling as well.

In the same way this can't end up much worse than cloud vendor lock-in either. Many businesses dream or discuss about being 'cloud agnostic' but realistically most are tightly coupled, especially around cost-of-change and institutional knowledge.
It's a country with 20% of the population of the USA. That's not exactly a tiny country.

> If the EU or US were proposing such a law, you should take it seriously

Judging from a few quick searches, there are more Facebook employees in the UK than in Ireland which is their main base of EU operations. They also have a presence in Switzerland (also not EU). FB apparently have some employees in Germany to comply with local hate speech laws, do marketing and HR work, but it doesn't seem like anything they'd miss much if they had to exit especially as they're laying people off anyway.

Now that said, I think Meta can win against the UK govt if they want to duke it out but the idea that the UK is a "tiny country" vs the EU is not reflective of Meta's actual exposure. The EU is not a particularly attractive place for tech firms to hire.
It doesn’t strip every query string. It acts as if it has a list of known tracking params, but I haven’t investigated the exact mechanism.
AI has entered the chat
They have updated the FAQ section of the announcement to directly address this (very, very valid) point:

> Q. Didn’t you say in September that current subscibers will be grandfathered in?

> A. Yes we did say that in September. We are sorry that we have to walk back on that promise and we should have done a better job at communicating the pricing change debate that has been going on for over three months with our community.

> A lot of things changed in the meantime that we could not anticipate and predict, namely increase in search costs and popularization of generative AI which further increases the cost and making us lose even more money per user than before. That is not sustainable for a bootstrapped startup and we had to make the next best decision.

> The decisions made (the price change and cancellation of grandfathering) is exactly the necessary step to keep us in the business of search, aligning incentives between us and users, and keeping the best interest of our users in mind.

> We did the best we can, and we will still going to grandfather in everyone for up to a year on the old plan, and then on a special plan after that indefinitely (which still loses us money, just less). Discussion about this was long and hard and we made the best possible decision given our abilities and the circumstances.

This is so incredibly disappointing and basically confirms that we're (at least in part) paying for their AI experiments - something that I personally am not at all interested in.
you forgot one alternative - chatgpt, which is $20/month and infinitely flexible

Well, my main use case would be to speed up project onboarding where I can play around with the app from user perspective and check how my actions impact database... Could help cutting through a lot of frontend/backend layers and just focus on raw data.

If you have multiple DB snapshots and WAL enabled, theoretically you could inspect the log to see what happened inbetween. There's pg_xlogdump for that but I think it will output very raw data...
I don't get why they can't talk about it. Do C&Ds come with a NDA too?
High valued assemblies tend to be manufactured in the USA. Defect detection early and often prevents waiting until completion to scrap them (much better to scrap when you only have $10,000 in subassemblies and labor into it than then when you have $50,000). If that assembly is a bottleneck you are also reducing the impact to your larger production schedule (scraping it one week into assembly versus 4). Computer vision is hugely important for this. Computer vision capturing each stage also greatly helps to quickly isolates what is introducing the situation resulting in scrap. Instead of having scrap meetings trying to determine why a completed assembly is failing you identify the failure point as close to when it occurs as possible.

Being able to identify molds reaching end of life prior to parts failing QA for being out of tolerance is also huge for American manufacturing.

Where it's way less important is when you are spitting out eraser tips or other 'high scale' manufacturing.

For reference, I contacted several reps to get feedback on it and was told they review letters from people in their district. (Hence I validate with the billing info). Yes, they generally follow the framework you provided.

> Literally, the ultimate constituent letter on a bill for effect (maximum effect, minimum chance of getting misinterpreted, minimum effort) was a postcard with sufficient address information to identify the sender as a constituent, a bill number, and "Support" or "Oppose".

That’s exactly what is provided. First line is a clear description, support / opposed in bold and the policy/law.

We used the billing info to verify they’re in district and provide the return address.

Phone number should also be provided for a call effort.

I was told they evaluate scales of issues, ie 10 letters from people in district might matter, 100 would matter a lot, 1000 would be a burning issue. That’s effectively all I’m trying to provide.

> for state reps it gives me none of the actual reps, but three of the eight statewide Constitutional officers (the Governor, AG, and Secretary of State).

Yeah, I automated what I could, I can manually enter / edit state reps and did for several states. Constitutional officers are mostly included because they can be pulled via api (plus their still parties who are often elected)
Because their terms says otherwise. Always good to watch those when they change.
