I always felt like Codex API is redundant, We can surely use GPT-3.5 API to make it work.
Just provide this system instruction to GPT-3.5-turbo:
"You are Codex Open AI model, which returns the next line or block of code as per user-provided code in chat. Obey indentations and don't provide text instructions as your chat output will be used directly in the code file without any cleaning or refactoring. Note: If completion is done on the same line don't repeat earlier code."

1. I’m a U.S. citizen living and working outside of the United States for many years. Do I still need to file a U.S. tax return?

Yes, if you are a U.S. citizen or a resident alien living outside the United States, your worldwide income is subject to U.S. income tax, regardless of where you live. However, you may qualify for certain foreign earned income exclusions and/or foreign income tax credits. Visit Publication 54, Tax Guide for U.S. Citizens and Resident Aliens Abroad, for additional information.

Its not quite accurate or good folklore though, because it misses the fact that "sync;sync;sync" is distinct from "sync <enter> sync <enter> sync <enter>" and the reason for that is that the machines (tape and otherwise) on the other end would interpret such fast contiguous syncs (as opposed to the human RNG) as instructions to, for example, rewind the tape .. or shuffle the card tray .. peripherals and resources which, alas, have fallen from our consciousnesses ..
And once the people who are BBQing all day have done enough of it, and realize that it's no longer fulfilling to them, they'll find something else to do. (And some of them won't! For some, they'll feel joy in BBQing all day for the rest of their lives, and that's fine!)

For some, that other thing will be another leisure activity.

For others, it will be something like what we now see as work in one form or another, whether that be helping people in ways that robots and AIs can't, doing research, or even just doing some work that robots can do, because some people like to do it, and some people like to have a human doing it for or with them.

For others still it will be art: painting, writing, creating video games, becoming an actor or comedian, whatever.

Humans are not well-adapted to having nothing productive to do. If a given human wants to continue to do purely leisure activities, it is often because they have been so exhausted and abused by our current system that their body and brain needs the time to heal.

> The GPL is not a magic spell; you can't use it to force your enemies to do things they don't want to do.

On the other hand, court orders in many ways are magic spells, and there are circumstances where you can get the court to order Specific Performance as remedy. Courts don't love Specific Performance, you won't get far asking a court for this when monetary compensation seems effective, but sometimes the Court can see that's not an appropriate remedy and will order Specific Performance.

Specific Performance requires that you do what the court demands, if you won't do what they demand that's contempt for which you can be imprisoned.

I need to see more examples, as it stands the example photos look soulless. It's the eyes, they don't seem to be focused on a particular target like the camera. And a few seem like each eye isn't looking at the same spot.
It's interesting, but if you look at the history of technology, it's rarely the 1st mover that wins. I'm not sure if Bard will be the "winner" (or if there will even be a single canonical winner), but the idea that you can be "late" to this when LLMs are just getting started is kind of funny.

Given that most people don't read NYTs, let alone have heard of OpenAI or ChatGPT, this will mark the first true exposure to language models for many Americans and Britons. fun times ahead

> until we drop the whole 'tracking is bad we should just shut it all down', and start to think of a fair and reasonable way for users to say 'I am ok with company B knowing that I have a relationship with company A' then these increasingly nerfarious tracking efforts will happen.

Given how companies have completely and utterly ignored the idea of consent banners, I am deeply disinclined to believe that most companies would ever actually be satisfied with a user controlled choice in the matter. Where we actually are is that companies will relentlessly attempt to stalk everyone all the time no matter what, and in face of that the only sane conclusion is that in practice tracking is bad and we should shut it all down.

DMT acts on the HTR2A and HTR2C receptors. When you activate HTR2C receptors at high levels the nerves respond by changing the number HTR2C receptors. This is called having an "effect of receptor density".

You can read about it in this study: (I know what you are going to say, that this proves one cannot get habituated to DMT But that is wrong adn you will need to read the second study to understand why.

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S00913...

Because drug efficacy changes with receptor density and cellular microenvironment, we also examined the properties of DMT in native preparations using a behavioral and biochemical approach."

One difference was evident in that the 5-HT2C, but not the 5-HT2A, receptor showed a profound desensitization to DMT over time. This difference is interesting in light of the recent report that the hallucinogenic activity of DMT does not tolerate in humans and suggests the 5-HT2C receptor plays a less prominent role in the action of DMT.

https://www.cureus.com/articles/62522-5-ht1a-and-5-ht2a-sign...

Furthermore, abnormal receptor density ratios are strongly associated with positive and negative symptom severity, which are typically assessed using the Scale for the Assessment of Negative Symptoms

In addition, Hurlemann et al. (2007) proposed that 5-HT2A receptor density was also decreased in the At-Risk Mental State patient subgroup, regardless of conversion to psychosis [4]. The progressive decline in subcortical 5-HT2A receptor density could provide an indicator of conversion to schizophrenia.

> I expect that Wall Street banks would love to discredit the safety of local banks, but for my money I choose to do business with a few local credit unions whose board of directors are local and relatively transparent.

They don't have to discredit them, the Feds are doing that.

Local banks, credit unions, etc are NOT on the "too big to fail" (or "systemic risk") list so therefore they can fail and will be allowed to fail.

It's also interesting that of the Big Four that are "too big to fail" three of them offer savings rates of under 0.25% it's almost as if they don't have to do anything to appeal to customers.
There was talk about this problem a few years ago, because lots of Chinese firms were using this stuff as collateral for loans. Apparently the fears were borne out in this case.
You're almost remembering correctly. Usually you have a differential operator L (often the Laplacian) and a potential term V(x) (where x may be a vector) giving the equation

L{y} = V(x)

or in quantum mechanics

L{y} = V(x)y (now L is i times nabla)

Then you expand the potential V(x) as a power series to the quadratic term, which gives you a harmonic oscillator.
I don't think there's any real relation. The single sector that saw the largest increase in prices were new cars followed closely by used cars. The market for new cars has a dozen or so major global companies and the used car market is about as pure of a market as you can get.

Ultimately it's gigantic corporation vs gigantic corporation. Walmart, Target, Best Buy, Amazon, et. al. aren't being pushed around by suppliers. If there were great margins to be made in manufacturing these companies would (and do) step in with their own branded products.

Anecdotally, I think Covid was like a conductor giving the orchestra a cue to start playing. Everyone ran into supply issues at the same time and naturally raised prices to the new point on the demand curve. Those that didn't see supply issues saw everyone else raising prices and figured why not take some easy money. Even if they wanted more market share they wouldn't have been able to expand production.

IMHO, it also revealed that demand was more inelastic in the short term than expected. Like my kid's frozen waffles went up like 2 bucks for an 8 box over Covid. I pay more than I want to but my demand's pretty inelastic. Not gonna fight my kid on his food choices over 25 cents a day. Eventually that will break and I don't think I'm gonna start the next kiddo on the same habit.
Depends on country specific tax agreements. Worst case is you need to pay taxes to both countries
Well, your gf may ask you again about the usefulness of the tools that are being released now in 5-10 years from now...
Timing of public generative AI tools for Google seems to be pretty good. Late enough to let the cycle of stories on ChatGPT failures and "hacks" run its course, but still plenty early to catch up on the hype. No average person will consider Google to be catching up if this is the first place they're actually exposed to it.
Yeah but other systems are more open. Undoubtedly it is about legal risk management - yet goog should have gotten its lawyers to draft whatever global TOS they needed to protect themselves up front. This has enough visibility and they had the lead time.
They already have (i was sick with covid, walking to a store when i suddenly lost online maps and data access), i am using voice/SMS only for 2FA authentication for all my American business, including banking and brokerages. Perhaps they cannot shut the voice down due to some FCC consequences. Scary.

Is there a modern reference you would recommend?
I generally agree. But I remain cautiously skeptical that perhaps our brains are also little more than that. Maybe we have no capacity for that kind of introspection but we demonstrate what looks like it, just because of how sections of our brains light up in relationship to other sections.
What a joke; limited country release to limited group of people. That’s a broken car at the start of the race, not a lot more at this point when your competitors are already full-blown out there.
> But Google is taking a much more circumspect approach than its competitors, which have faced criticism that they are proliferating an unpredictable and sometimes untrustworthy technology.

It's interesting how they use the AI ethics excuse. Maybe the real problem is that there's isn't as good as the competition, or to their own standards, and they are being careful not to damage their brand by being so behind.
I own these. The experience using them is substantially better than using grocery store clippers. The cutting edges meet very precisely and firmly so I get a very clean cut with relatively low pressure every time. There is very little "give" in the lever, so with my relatively thick nails, there is never a bend as I apply more pressure.

Mortgages have higher risk and servicing costs than the lending done at prime, so they are going to be done at a premium to it no matter who does it (unless it is yet another government subsidy to homebuyers at the expense of renters.)
Because as a paying customer you(and your team) likely will reach for support to get things fixed if they are not working as expected.

An early release is not worth the time and effort for professional support.

Impact doesn't mean turning obsolete. History is full of new inventions and technologies that made easier to do some boring and repetitive part of a job, and democratized access to some part of that job for far more people, enhanced what can be done, let the people that know to be more effective and opened new fields. Same goes for automation.

Of course, people that took the easy approach of just mindlessly repeating something and not trying to understand about what they were doing will be impacted too. If they try to keep what they were doing as always, still without trying to learn or use their experience in the new fields that will be opening, then they may be negatively impacted. But events like this one are the constant, not the exception, even for something as big as this promises to be.
Cannot speak for the post above, but yes, you can work on a different country and still pay taxes on your origin country. Doesn't work for any country or any circumstance though.

Typical case is when you work for a multi-national company and they send you to work in a different country for less than 183 days, you will keep paying taxes in your own country despite your legal employer is now the legal entity in the new country.
I can take the standard $0.89 "GEM" clipper to my nails, squeeze them until the handles touch, and they won't go through my nails.

Yeah, this time actually is different.

The problem last time was the housing prices were driven by high-risk individuals getting large loans and then the crash was due to them defaulting on said loans. There was a system of incentives for Mortgage Backed Securities where the swap was based on the value of the properties in question as well as the potential interest rate, so the prices continued to go up.

That's not happening right now.

If money is not injected into some static immobile "vault" (the whole point of a bailout or liquidity injection is for it to flow outwards), then it is going to be spent. For example, bailed out companies treat the cash injection similarly to investor cash, to be used. Departments get made, projects get spun up, equipment gets bought. In the case of banks, people get hired, existing employees get raises, liabilities get shored up, and assets get bought, which needed to be bought off of people who owned them or made them. And everyone involved at every point in this chain buys potatoes on the way home.
"One sync tells the system to flush all i/o buffers, the second one serves to ensure the buffers are sync'ed, and the third is useful in case slow-quitting processes meanwhile even still have things to flush before letting go of a node, and then of course .. ;reboot .. "

Yeah, but it also means, if done in rapid succession (i.e. one shell cmd "sync;sync;sync", it can tell the machine on the other end of the i/o to do 'special' operations, such as rewind tape, settle card tray intake, etc.

Long-forgotten aspects of operation which neverless fit in the 'class' of action, where data is settled and made safe.

Have you set up the GitHub repository and done the initial commit yet? If you think “we” should take the first step, then go-ahead, take it. Lead the way.

I am being semi-snarky because often people talk about some grand ideas about things “we” should do, but rarely do those advocating for some utopian outcome actually do anything towards achieving it.

If it is to be, it’s up to me.
Now there’s only a few more models left that support fine tuning? None of the new ones do.
If you consider "motive, means, and opportunity" then your question seems to be, essentially, "the motive should have been there in 2019, why now?" and the answer is that the means have become stronger through increased corporate concentration, and the opportunity is greater because the pandemic and political climate provides an excuse.

Not that shame was a huge pressure in 2019, but it's even less of one now.

Some percentage of people, even here on this very site, will argue with these conclusions, and say it's the pandemic, or wage pressure, or anything but pricing power, and that percentage of people is higher today than it has been in the past.

The pandemic and political environment provides an excuse that wasn't handy in 2019. The political environment provides cover. The naked greed has always been there (the motive), but the means and opportunity are stronger today than before.

> As an aside, the name Bard is so low-effort and predictable, and a bit rubbish in my personal opinion.

I would suggest the opposite. Choosing a good name is hard. You need to avoid naming conflicts, and ideally you have something short, easy to remember, pronounceable in many global language, semantic relationship to the name or at least avoiding poor connotations. It is much better than "New Bing"

Google constantly is blocking paying Workspace customers from other google products - it is kind of infuriating. Treat your paying customers better.
I printed a book recently (https://makejsgames.com/) as a test and was surprised how straight-forward it was using LeanPub for the layout and Lulu for the printing.

Leanpub accepts standard Markdown (though does have its own markdown format now) and gives you an "export for printing" button that you can upload to Lulu. The cover was kind of tricky and I got some professional design help both to design it and to get the margins and bleeds exactly as Lulu wanted them, but the result was way better than I expected.

I haven't tried the other professional tools mentioned in this article so I can't really compare quality or ease, but might be worth a look if anyone is looking for something in between "do it all yourself" and "pay for fancy tools". (I have a lifetime LeanPub license from back when they still offered them but the monthly subscription fees are a lot lower than some of the tools mentioned here and you can easily get a printing done in a single month).
I think we are confusing derivatives here. No, when my income is growing from year to year, but just growing a little slower, I don't revisit my personal budget. I think these company leaders are seeing the second (or third) derivative starting to go down, and are panicking without actually losing money (base measurement) or revenue (first derivative).

I'm pretty sure HELOCs can be called any, iirc, but I'm not sure if fail to pay the call means they put a lien on your house or force you into foreclosure.

When people say "you should buy real estate as an investment because you can't live in your brokerage account" and then do crazy stuff with their equity that they wouldn't even dream of when investing (e.g. Boglehead investors who HELOC for some net negative remodel) it really blows my mind...

Not the same pair, but 20 years ago I visited Japan and I still own and use the nail clippers that I purchased when I was there. The brand are called ten star. I was 15 when bought those 20 years ago. I have tried to find other nail clippers, and nothing has ever beat this 20+year old cheap pair. They are strong and sharp and collect the debris perfectly. Never thought I'd still have these nail clippers and beyond photos, its all thats left from that trip to Japan..
