There are so many non-CRUD complex disciplines involving programming such as signal processing, robotics, control theory, scientific computation to name a few, the current version, at least, of GPT is not even close to being a good supplement, let alone a substitute.

Yeah, that aligns with my (limited) understanding. The assessments are a relatively small portion of the funds, I believe. My understanding is that the rate charged is the same regardless of the riskiness of the bank, which could become a moral hazard in its own right. (I.e., if the assessment rate is the same regardless of risk, it may incentivize riskier behavior)
That's not what I'm saying. I'm not saying you should find it impressive or amazing. What I am saying is that things are visibly progressing (before: badly written pong, today: successful flappy bird clone), regardless of how impressive one finds it.

Of course, it's not an apples-to-apples comparison. But I don't have access to GPT4, so I can't check how it does on Pong written in PyGame.
like the other comment said, std::unique_ptr is not ref counted. Ref counting is one of the ways to implement garbage collection but it is not garbage collection by itself. C++ does not have garbage collection.

1) this is not random sample, it's a sample of who posted a review on glassdoor. There are definitely biases as to who leaves a negative review, and who leaves a positive one -- most people having an alright time don't leave positive reviews.

thus, simply by pulling glassdoor info you're going to get more negative reviews.

2) this pulled reports of toxic culture, but there is no way to verify that someone actually was male or female; it's strictly self-reported.

Speaking from experience: I've put in fake demographic info when putting reviews on GD so that my (former) boss can't identify me.

3) it's basing these findings on the use of a phrase "toxic culture" -- buzzwords, essentially. If other women or men used different phrases, such as "antagonistic and aggressive leadership" -- which sounds toxic to me -- that wouldn't have been counted.
"perfectly good" in this case reads a little like "fragile".

We over optimize when things are good and then wonder what happened when there's a pothole. of course people are fickle and of course rates are going to change. Not being prepared for this is irresponsible.
It is inconceivable that we will ever have a sound secure system on current architecture.

This is basically the premise. We have an unknow surface attack area for potential jailbreaks with models that have unknown emergent behavior, the inner workings are blackbox and the input is anything that can be described by human language.
I've stopped buying anything Samsung because their quality control has become non-existant.

My S22 ultra has a major bug that causes the screen to no longer update until I screenshot my way to the restart button. (Their response is trade in for an S23, but at my expense).

I've never had a TV fail before, much less within two years. When I first put it together, it seemed like it was designed to fail. When they do, repair means either be charged $300 for a $10 fiber optic cable or $400 for a new output box.

Any appliance repair person worth their salt would tell you to never buy Samsung appliances. They're the most prone to failure, most expensive to repair. They try to appeal to consumers by appearing like a luxury brand, while having bottom of the barrel engineering inside.

I am avoiding anything Samsung until their track record turns around completely.

Sure. It's like having a friend who can draw. You detail to them something you're picturing in your mind, and they make it into something actually real.

Who would have ownership over that art piece? Who actually did the work to make it exist?

Copyright doesn't protect ideas, it protects the specific creative expression of those ideas. By creating a prompt you're creating an idea, but that isn't a copyrightable, creative action. You're just the 'ideas guy' for a robot artist.

And again on the 2nd point, the camera doesn't guide the photographer. It can help them dial in their vision, but they're in full creative control at all times. It guides you no more than a hammer guides you to the nail.

In case someone wants an example of a function which is continuous nowhere, but whose absolute value is continuous everywhere:

f(x) = 1 if x is rational

f(x) = -1 if x is not rational

Edit: in all this excitement, I should've just read to the end of the article

Edit: for the second question, take the function:

f(x) = 0 if: the binary representation of it contains infinite 1s

f(x) = total # 1s in the binary representation of x if: the binary representation has a finite number of 1s

Since this is the comment thread talking about the algorithm I'm gonna add my 2 cents here:

Here's the problem statement as far as I see it:
Each tile has a number of move points to spend to go through it (1 for regular and 2 for water). Each tile also has a cost associated with it. Given a max number of move points find the lowest cost path between two tiles or return none if no such path exists.

I'm gonna say this is still modified dijkstra with a small twist. The fire has cost 1, the other tiles have cost 0. However instead of pathing on a 2d grid (x, y) we path on a 3d grid (x, y, moves). All "goal" tiles within (goal_x, goal_y, moves < total_move_points) have a 0 cost edge which brings them to the true goal node. The implementation difference is that the get neighbors function queries neighbors in later grid layers (x+..., y+..., moves + 1 or 2)
I am building a job search engine that supports negative keywords, so you can remove node or system by searching for "architect -node -system". Please give it a try if you'd like

> Health care really shouldn't be used to mean medical care per se. And that's one of the things that complicates such discussions.

Exactly.

Whole hospital floors are completely dedicated to patients with completely preventable diseases with proper lifestyle choices (uncontrolled type-II diabetes, most cardiac and vascular surgeries...). What these people needed a decade or two ago was someone to coach them/engage in a long term discussion about their labs and deteriorating health with them.

I can't help to think that defining healthcare exclusively as medical care is an attempt at further gatekeeping from a profession already known for these practices... I mean, what brings in more dollars for the provider, a series of hospitalizations and vascular surgeries or a few hours of consulting and coaching?
>How is it linked to Marxism?

I've heard it convincingly described as follows:
Woke ideology (AKA Social justice etc) is a pared-down version of Marxism the same way Marxism is a pared-down version of Christianity. Woke ideology is just Marxism without the class stuff, Marxism is just Christianity without the God stuff (presumably Christianity is just Judaism without the Rabinical law stuff)

My main exposure to Ruffle has been through its use on Homestarrunner.com, where it’s been deployed to maintain a working archive of their old cartoons (complete with interactive Easter eggs, which obviously isn’t possible on YouTube).

It was buggy initially but now seems to work very well.

I’m a big fan, and echo the sentiments of others here who remember Flash fondly as a powerful and singularly accessible creative tool.

To anyone working on Ruffle: I value the work y’all are doing immensely!
Good thing we aren’t trying, then. GPT works in a completely different fashion.

>will _x_ cause widespread alienation by creating a world of empty experiences

ah but we can become MORE alienated as we're not sure if X was made by a real person. Even before the AI scare, the transition of the web from being 90% certain that another human made the content on your screen to the paradigm of content mills or copysites(think stack overflow clones). I guess one can still find solace in the fact that these sites still do exist, albeit under a growing mass of grey paste

This is one of the surviving improvements from JF Bastien's P1152 which was initially successful in deprecating most of the spurious use of volatile from C++ with a view to some day getting in there and actually doing MMIO properly.

Unfortunately too much of this will be unwound in C++ 23 because WG21 voted to un-deprecate all the volatile compound operators despite knowing nobody could even offer a rationale for why or how most of them would ever be correctly used.

I'm having hard time understanding why `useEffectEvent` is so limited.

> * Only call them from inside Effects.

> * Never pass them to other components or Hooks.

(https://react.dev/learn/separating-events-from-effects#limit...)

The original proposal was more about `events` this one is about effects.

According to these rules, i can't do

const x = useEffectEvent((event) => console.log("abc"))
return <MyCustmButton onClick={x}/>

Why isn't it allowed?
This is partly the reason why we've built something custom for our documentation (using all of the wonderful tools provided by Elixir) at https://ash-hq.org. We still have a lot of work to do, but it allows us to provide a more wholistic documentation experience over all of our projects.

In all honesty, though, documentation is still a major hassle for people using the framework today. There is a lot to it, and even with a wholistic docs site it can often be hard to find what you want. But with this we at least have a singular vision to build towards, and its grown in leaps & bounds over the last 6-8 months.
Yes in 2023 the US still stands at the top but it’s not a guaranteed future. To maintain that status requires maintenance and discipline.

If you can do 9 laps in the time your competitors do 2 then it’s easy to stagnate. You can say, “why spend all this effort to do be able to do 9 laps, I only need to do 5 to still stay way ahead”. So you take your foot off the gas and start to coast. However if your competitors start creeping up, they start doing 3…4… now there is incentive to maintain your lead or even grow your lead more.

Additionally the US is not immune to the unpredictable. What if we get another dust bowl? Energy system collapse? Civil war? These things can chip away at our “lead” if we are inattentive and ill prepared.

I sometimes wonder, if all cars were equipped with a radio where drivers could speak to and hear other drivers around them (naturally, not push-to-talk like CB), would driving behavior improve because it would humanize the other drivers? Or would it make drivers want to be at war with each other even more?
But SVB was solvent and basically fine long-term. If VCs hadn't panicked at herd-mentality stampeded $40,000,000,000 out of the bank in a day, forcing it to sell 10 year treasuries at depressed market rates, it would have been fine.

SVB isn't like the 2008 banks that held mortgage-backed securities that turned out to be full of people who lied about their income and assets and would never get repaid. SVB had treasuries that absolutely would have been repaid.

SVB was trying to do an equity raise to solve their short-term liquidity issues. If they'd done so quietly, and gotten money from a big institution before going public, they'd probably have been fine. Instead, the public equity raise spooked people, caused a bank run, and made their liquidity go from "risky" to broken.
Which job is that? A job it was written for months or years ago, or one it needs to do today? Or some other job?

Scala is super complex, introduces breaking changes all the time, is super slow to compile, multi-language projects are also complex, and the decisions that are right for Scala may not be right for Java.

Open source models have been quickly following because most research has been happening in public. Who knows what will be if OAI, Google and Deepmind all stop publishing their results?
If your worldview is that people who disagree with you aren’t just wrong, but they actually secretly agree with you and are lying to themselves… how do we know you truly hold these beliefs and aren’t just lying to yourself?

It’s not a great foundation for an argument.

A far simpler explanation is that openai realizes they have the tiger by the tail and are intentionally over-indexing on safety because the marginal benefits of being just barely acceptable are not worth the risk of PR disaster and reputational harm.

It is much easier to relax overzealous controls than it is to add controls to an under-constrained system.

We don’t even have to bring the tautological “woke” term into it. They’re just minimizing business risk, and the fact that they’re doing so by trying to avoid associating AI with certain topics is triggering culture warriors.
It's often nice to talk about things that you share in common - weather, kids, and traditionally TV have often fill those roles. These are the normal ways to break the ice and get to know someone better before delving into other topics.
I suspect there's a strong invisible ideological undercurrent pushing a lot of this. When I was younger and enthusiastic about things like a universal basic income, I would often follow the latest murmurings, always ready to let my hype (and hyperbole) meter go to 11. I remember when I saw the first news about some drone delivering a pizza (in New Zealand?) I immediately jumped to it foretelling the imminent end of all delivery jobs, with broad customer service not especially far behind. There's even the fully automated Henn-na hotel in Japan, I mean omg!

In my naivete, the idea I had is that if the jobs disappeared en masse then a social solution to the economy would be forced to be enacted. So I was essentially hoping to see the destruction of normalcy and employment in any new technology. I would expect that view is not uncommon given the direction of contemporary education. It feels analogous to cows hoping for the end of beef/milk harvesting. My beleaguered bovine buddies, what awaits you there is something rather different than cowtopia.
Amen. Knowing that the show runners had the ending in mind when they started making the show gives it a much better chance of being a cohesive package than a vehicle for somebody's desire to build a franchise.

This has been doomed from the start. I bought the first kindle that supported this when it was introduced, I think it was around 2010 and have always occasionally bought issues here or there thinking it would improve.

The newspapers never wanted this to succeed. They always wanted to drive you to the website or make you buy the paper copy. They never were happy with the prices on the Kindle, and they couldn't deal with the fact that the Kindle editions didn't allow them unlimited ads.

My local big newspaper never even put all their sections into the kindle edition. They charged a lot for a subscription, but the website/digital edition of the paper was even more, they want about $30/month for access to the website even though it's completely loaded with ads. It's basically all too expensive and too low quality for what they want to charge versus what $30/month is expected to offer for other services on the internet.

I'm sure the newspapers hate it but stuff like Apple News+ has the right model. It's not a massive price gouge, the ads are there but are limited, and they do at least get some money, and iPads and such are a better place to read newspaper/magazine content then the kindle is.

Sounds like you are hiring wrong. The point of a good engineering degree is to teach someone how to learn. Any degree worth something will include non-trivial coursework and projects, so they should already be familiar with some of the tooling.
Yes, and you can (via SBT) slowly introduce Scala into an existing Java codebase quite easily.
Let’s say that you are convicted as a criminal, and allegedly you were in a certain location and committed the crime.

If you were not there and didn’t not commit the crime, is that past to which used to determine your conviction factual?

Whether later you are proven not guilty, the past didn’t change, but rather our perception of it.
IMO Access is the real undervalued hero. Most spreadsheets using more than a few VLOOKUPs should really be a simple database instead.

How is the data going from Calibre to the Kindle itself? Do you need to keep Calibre running on a machine that's also using the same wifi connection as your Kindle? Does the data get sent using the Kindle email address? Somehow through a Calibre server?

I would agree with most of this, but there is no direct analogy between all of the components of a neuron in neurology, which are typically umbrella'd under the name "neuron" and regarded as parts of one, versus ML's version.

Eg, if a weight can be a synapse, can't a weight be an axon? Axons also "connect" neurons, but their length is more related to the connection strength, so could be considered more analogous to a "weighting".

Yet, axons are not as obtusely "one-to-many" as synapses, but depending on the structure of the ML model, and the view of which aspect of it is more impactful to be highlighting by analogy, either take might be more appropriate.

I suppose it depends on the kind of structure you're working with, and whether you're training and inferring, or just one or the other. In all cases I think a good argument could be made for general neuron analogy abuse.
They literally said "bake" so yeah, they mean the original mesh.
Thanks this helps. Yes I want to combine software development with some sort of machine learning. I think this applies to almost every analytical field. In GSoC Orgs like learning software for kids are interesting. But I have to dive deeper into the projects offered..
