I would bet that the majority of non-techies couldn't name a single discontinued Google product.

Outside of the tech world Google still has a stellar reputation. Most people don't seem to care/know/notice any of the privacy issues, support issues or product continuation issues.

So I think your statement has some merit for certain types of products - ones that are targeted at the tech crowd - but overall I don't think it's generally true.
There's shades to art of course. Not all photography is airbrushed digital stuff, and the mild stuff most people probably do, like changing the exposure curves around in photoshop or lightroom is basically akin to what photographers were doing when exposing prints from their negatives for the past 150 years, only with less time and no chemicals. Likewise, some people might be happy with AI generated fodder to read, others might want other things.
This can be tricky to read because there are also desperate recruiters out there.
For those interested in Si-Fi novels, there's a recent hugo award winning trilogy, The Broken Earth Series[1]. It imagines a world that is much more geologically active than earth, with much more frequent cataclysmic events, and what that would mean for the development of civilization, culture, society, and even the evolution of life.

The land value tax would replace the property tax. So it would hurt some people, like owners of parking lots and help other people, like owners of apartment buildings.
> No losses associated with the resolution of Silicon Valley Bank will be borne by taxpayers.

if the govt taxes citizens, and spends the money, it's govt funded. full stop. even though, yes, it's ultimately paid for by the citizens.

if a govt requires fees from banks to an insurance company, that's a tax. if the govt requires cash outlays by the insurance company, not sure what we would call it, but coupled with the tax it's govt funding.

The whole reason it's structured the way it is is so that the govt can deny that it's govt funded; this type of govt regulation creates the argument you are defending, but follow the money, it's govt funding every bit as much as tax and spend.
I blame ProFantasy for that. Their software has an insanely steep learning curve and the UI is extremely unintuitive. I have been using their software for 15 years and only have a basic proficiency with it. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone when tools like Dungeondraft and Inkarnate can have new users creating beautiful maps on day 1.
So, the fact that you personally don't care who knows your private information, means that there is no such thing as private information.

This was telegraphed so it was indeed irrelevant to try to illustrate that point.

I bet you wouldn’t, it’s not something I’ve come across before, but having seen it now I’m absolutely stealing it because it has the wonderful property of seeming complex on the surface and actually being incredibly simple.
This article by Lhotka & Gale (2019) <https://arxiv.org/abs/1911.02778> is a little beyond my patience for understanding, but they have an excellent parameter space plot in Figure 1 relating a bunch of different effects with respect to dust grain size. Their figure only goes up to grains 1 cm in size though. However, it's a detailed paper on the relative "importance of the interplanetary magnetic field on the orbital evolution of dust". I met Lhotka at a conference where they presented this work.

I think this discussion is really fascinating, and it's certainly something that I didn't consider when working on the paper. However, I think the results that we found can be generalized to better understand how a small effect might impact the stability of the solar system on a statistical level, even if we can't say much about the effect in specific cases.

For example, I expect that as the total mass of the sun decreases due to solar wind the secular frequencies would all change by the same amount, proportional to the decrease in mass <https://arxiv.org/abs/1811.07135>. This would mean that the difference between the g1 and g5 modes would be closer by the same amount. However, we wouldn't expect the secular diffusion to change so it would be more akin to dashed line in Figure 2 of our paper. So stellar mass loss could cause Mercury to go unstable sooner than without mass loss, but we wouldn't expect the effect to be significant.
FWIW, I've had good success with these two approaches:

* code review: Screen share with the candidate a small code snippet in a language/framework that they are comfortable with that needs improvement. Have candidate talk through what feedback they would provide in the context of a code review to improve the code.

* code pairing: Pair candidate with an engineer on the team to improve some existing code (add a simple feature).

Both of these approaches have been very helpful at understanding how skilled a candidate is, how familiar they are with a language or framework, how they provide constructive feedback, etc.

Code snippets can be designed to encourage discussion of security practices (SQL injection, for example), capacity planning (5 transactions/day, /hour, /sec?), algorithmic complexity, etc.
It does seems plausible.

Maybe there are those who can simultaneously raise a baby and be the successful CEO of a sizeable operating unit, but in practice usually one or the other is prioritized.
>Either you save energy, drive less, etc. or you embrace energy sources like nuclear.

I took this to be an either or statement, apologies if that was not your intention.

>Anyways, I don't think I understand why I practically need both?

Overhauling the entire energy system is a huge effort, even more so when the demands grow year after year. Hitting that target in the requisite timeframe is much easier if the energy demands are lessened through conservation.
I am a DevRel so I work on the business side of the company but my intended readers are developers.

Even though I was a skeptic at first, now I am a believer in practical usage of AI. I really struggle with writing CTAs or conclusive remarks. My writing style is dry and I write technical articles in a step by step manner assuming the reader has no to little understanding of the subject matter. I feel like developer do appreciate this writing practice however all long form content need meaningful endings.

I appreciate the help of AI with summarizing, describing what the intended instructions should achieve and telling readers to explore the next step.

My content used to end at "now you know how to do it". This is just too unnatural, writing a meaningful conclusion can be a challange sometimes so AI is helping me a lot.
Hands are some of the hardest forms for humans to draw, it is no surprise these models struggle with hands too.

In a way, a hand contains more features than perhaps the entire human body from a forms/intersection perspective.

I think an entire model needs to be built to focus on just hands and then combined into a more general model, perhaps that will be the path forward?

I find it fitting that in the hypothetical scenario where OpenAI is actually working on the next skynet, the primary entity controlling ethics of the experiments is completely controlled by the overarching corporation producing the AI - OpenAI.

This is how skynet would be created if these clowns were actually capable of doing so.

Genius argument there buddy
At some point more startups have got to be tempted by Birmingham unless they really need to network with the City. Has the big city stuff except glamour, close enough to London when the sales or fundraising effort needs to be there, and even the entry level devs can afford their own flat.
This page seems to use "basis functions" and "basic functions" interchangeably, which is confusing.
> 2 "Seasons" of a netflix show is not even 1 season of broadcast

I'd say most of their episodes are longer, on average. But that's not entirely relevant anyway, the main cost is in setting up the production as a whole.

> it is hard to tell a compelling story in 6 episodes of TV.

It's even harder to do it in one episode - the pilot.

In the past, a lot of pilots would be produced and never seen by anyone but execs. Then something like 5% of projects would be picked to air, and typically be given two seasons to iron out any problems - because it would look bad on execs who had fought to use a scarce slot for it, so there was a level of continued support for a while. Episodes were very short in length, and being effectively just containers for ads, it was alright to schedule tried-and-tested material, even if performing in a relatively mediocre manner.

Pilots are now less necessary, Netflix will invest on screenplays; but that means that a lot of the selection previously made by execs is now made by viewers. NF execs have less skin in the game, because there isn't a real limit to the amount of picks they can have. Netflix needs subscriber numbers to grow, so it needs big hits more than tv channels did. They have no incentive to continue pushing nonperforming series.

> Most of the popular shows on broadcast would never had made it to be popular under the netflix model

I'd argue that most of the series produced under the NF model would never even have existed on broadcast.
What will happen to Spaceport Cornwall then, if Virgin Orbit shuts down? Seems like a massive waste of investment then since I don't think any launch provider will take its place. Pretty grim for the UK space launch industry as a whole.

I thought I'd get started on Rust last night with a sort of simple getopt's CLI tool. I immediately ran into some whacky dependency/library issue. Google revealed an open bug report.

I put rust down and maybe I'm stupid but, I was following a 'get started with rust' type of tutorial.

I think I will not look again for some years.
> If humans stop producing new content and rely solely on AI, online content across the world may run the risk of becoming repetitive and stagnant.

I doubt if this concern is valid for humanity. Creating is an innate desire of human beings. We are going to have lots of AI-generated content, but I have confidence that people will continue to generate high-quality content too. Of course, how to find such quality content will be a different matter in the future. Maybe an industry-standard watermark or metadata for generated content is a cheap enough solution.
Cool. I didn't know TomTom was using OSM maps.
No. He got caught up in some me too type stuff and quietly disappeared from the limelight as rumors started surfacing.
The balanced bracket problem is one step above FizzBuzz.
To add to this: Some other hot women are using 3D* microphones and they do nothing but moan into the mic (like if they were having sex or similar), and making "licking noises" and other similar stuff.

* Edit: no idea what are these called, but sometimes they moan and lick the left side, sometimes the right so you can hear it in your corresponding ear.
Sexual content on platforms is in such a weird place. It gets tons of views, but you can't have a platform that's only adult content or it scares off advertisers. But if you have a successful platform that has adult content and you try to remove it, the platform becomes nearly worthless: see Yahoo and Tumblr. A mainstream brand like Visa has no issues advertising on Twitter, despite the massive amounts of adult content on Twitter. Yet you'd never see a Visa advertisement on Pornhub.

If you're running an ad-driven platform, you need to be in this weird Goldilocks zone where your platform has sexual content but isn't really known for sexual content. That's where Twitter, Twitch, Instagram and Reddit are, and it's why OnlyFans tried to push the "not just for porn" angle so hard for a while.
> There is even a paid app doing that now

Does that somehow change prioritization? If anything, it would lower the priority because there's a workaround people can use.

> All around me have this problem, with various level of seriousity. Google the problem, like I did for prolonged time searching for a good answer, it will bring up masses of troubled people.

If it was as large of a problem as you claim, with as wide an impacted userbase, it would have already been fixed. Yet here we are.

All you've proven is that there is a vocal minority. Which I already said.

At the scale of Microsoft and Windows (1.4 billion active users), for every person complaining about a specific problem, there are literally millions of users who aren't. Just because it is a problem for you does not mean it's automatically a big enough problem to address. If it isn't going to actively lose users (which it clearly isn't, considering people wrote apps to stay on Windows and have this behavior), then it isn't worth it.

> Can you also have an educated deliberation about the calculations justified the removal of this feature existed before? ;)

I'm not a seer, but it's plainly obvious from a software prioritization standpoint. The taskbar was rewritten and the feature was not justified as being important enough to keep. Wow, such deep, so insight.
Lifting is great but in my opinion (!) is not really a sport. It's more conditioning for sport. Sports like soccer, football, skating, skiing, mountain-biking, surfing etc. are much more complex and interesting IMO.

Of course, there are plenty of intellectually rewarding hobbies that are not sports. How about writing? You seem to have a talent for that!

I currently share your pessimism with regards to the future of humanity. AI will take over I'm afraid. But I don't know for sure and even less _when_, so for now I'm adapting instead of giving up on a future for humanity.
I'm sure no pertinent information wil be lost in this game of corporate broken telephone. The vodka is good but the meat is rotten.

Both can be true, especially since they don't contradict each other. When it comes to human decisions, it's usually a multitude of reasons. It could be that Twitch is in trouble and he has a child and maybe a host of other factors. I too take what he said at face value while allowing other things people have said about the platform to be true too.
BTW a chatGPT-alpha's fittness function could be reading texts (novels etc) and predicting what will happen next.

It was just an estimate of a successful show.
You must work with better product people than I have, because I'd argue the vast majority of their output pre ChatGPT was atrocious garbage vaguely related to what we were working on.
A number of reviews mention the same slowness. I was also having it manage 29 accounts at its peak, though the slowdown came from an update, not from adding an account. I wonder if it depends on the version of Android or something
I didn’t see them do so.

But the tools don’t do what a lot of people imagine and so we’ll see such misuse be rampant for a long long while.

We don’t take digital pollution or content pollution very seriously yet, but these tools are going to force us to finally do so. There’s a lot of smog coming to our online lives.

Well, ok, everybody sees things their own way. Personally, I would be glad to do a short take home if it's clear that it will reduce the bullshit analysis of curriculum.

I'd be even happier if it replaced a whiteboard FizzBuzz, and would raise good flags if it was a mathy problem like the ones the OP talked about, instead of unmotivated terminal or memory juggling.
Strongly agreed. I was about to post asking if there was a video, but luckily saw the link on the OP.
The short series format works if you write a story that is suited to it. When done right it feels like the middle ground between movies and a full TV series, not as starved for time as a movie and moves much faster than a 12-24 episode TV series. Of course the issue with Netflix is they tend to take what would traditionally be a 24 episode TV series, break it down into small parts, then cancel it at a inconvenient point in the story.

Eh—the draw of putting that content on Twitch is siphoning off part of a huge audience by sharing space on a popular non-porn platform. Separating the two would remove the reason people are streaming there instead of OF in the first place.
Genuinely curious about how it works in Sweden, so I have a question.

Imagine a swedish person overhearing a conversation at a restaurant (in Sweden) between two people (insiders to a particular public company that is also located in Sweden) sitting at a different table. That conversation contained non-public material information about the company those two people work for. The swedish person who overheard the insider conversation makes a successful trade that makes them profit (using that information).

Would this count as insider trading in Sweden? Afaik (which I could be mistaken about), it wouldn't in the US.
I think most poeple who say most people don't "need" AWD don't live in mountainous regions.
Be careful when you use "自強不息" though. I have never seen any native speaker who is also a sane person use it in daily life without sounding sarcastic.
This word does mean what you say, but it probably one of the overused, insincere, and meaningless words in government speeches.
It's like people roll their eyes when tech giants says "make the world a better place" for the past 30 years. But instead of 30 years, this came from 《易经》,which was roughly from 5,000 year ago, and has been constantly used in a similar fashion since then. So imagine how a Chinese speaker will think of it.
Precise Event Sampling on AMD vs. Intel: Quantitative and Qualitative Comparison
Very interesting features!

I'm not sure why it needs to be focused on developer docs vs all docs - any reason you decided on that niche?

I'd suggest creating a "demo" slack AND discord to try out. Is the demo slack working as intended? I see "Hey there! Looks like I'm not set up yet for this Slack workspace. Please send over a link to your documentation to founders@getsidekick.ai and we'll get you set up!"
I think it gave a little more specifics than you give it credit for, but there's something even more interesting buried in its plan:

It intentionally lies to a human.

Surely this should be a warning flag, no?
Make it a monthly payment like Netflix? Streaming is streaming if you ask me.
It works, but could be a lot lot better and is not very user friendly, which would benefit Twitch's two-sided market.

Unfortunately Twitch's current API is too locked-down/fussy to build a feasible alternative.

It seems all YouTube has really done is offer massive contracts to Twitch streamers to poach them. It’s still a terrible streaming platform. Unless you already have a well established audience, you’re not going anywhere there.

As for Kick, that is not a legitimate business. One, they’ve ripped off the entire UI from Twitch. Two, the anything goes attitude is not going to fly if they ever get real advertisers.
The context seem to be missing - is it just this specific maintainer's opinion or a result of consensus? Is this specific maintainer in position to make this decision on behalf of the team?
Marijuana was legalized in my state. I've never touched it myself but I was actually in favor of this and voted for it because I believed (and still do) that the war on drugs was a giant fleecing of the American people. Since then, what has happened here is that we basically got the worst parts of everything.

1. Since "hey, it's legal now," lots of people take that to mean they can smoke it wherever and whenever they want. While driving, in parks, near schools, immediately before class, and so on. Along with legalization, there should have been laws enacted, communicated, and enforced which would encourage people to get stoned at home in their own time instead of out in public where they are a danger or at least nuisance to everyone.

2. A good majority of the billboards in my state, in cities and along highways, are now for MJ retailers. I'm worried about the impact this persistent advertising has on normalizing the casual use of psychoactive substances for children who see these ads constantly in their day-to-day lives.

3. The retailers are regulated and taxed, but their prices are quite outside the range of those on a lower to lower-middle class income. As a result, there is still a lot of gray-market dealing going on to provide lower prices for those that accept the risk/inconvenience. And therefore with it, some amount of crime. So legalizing MJ did _not_ suddenly make everything above-board and peachy overnight like all of the legalization supporters had claimed it would.

I don't know that I have a solution for any of this. I only hope that right now we are just seeing some kind of peak the way cigarettes were positively mainstream in the 70's and then gradually faded over the new few decades as society realized what they were doing to us and our children over the long term.
Humans will not stop creating due to AI, instead AI produced works and AI assisted works will contribute to the total human output alongside non AI works.

No need to make websites or manifestos, do not worry humans will still human!
Can you provide an official source for that claim?
If there was one thing I wish Twitch would change, it’s the entry ads to streams. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve closed the tab while browsing for something to watch because I get an unskipable 30 second ad before I even get to see if there’s something worth watching.

For reference, Twitch has invested very heavily in anti adblockers and it’s pretty difficult to sidestep the ads these days without paying $5/month for a subscription.

Compare this to streaming on YouTube, which has a (much) worse UI, but tolerates ad blockers and lets you watch the parts of the steam you missed. I’m not optimistic that Twitch will be able to survive if YouTube manages to get their shit together and make a half decent UI.
I run a small D&D group with a couple of friends. I don't know that I'd want to play in a campaign helmed by an AI dungeon master, but the idea of having some help generating plot, assets, etc. when I don't have a lot of time before a game session sounds amazing.

I tend to be an AI pessimist, but this seems like a good example of a way that AI could be used to supplement human creativity instead of just replacing it entirely.
