"16 terawatt-hours of energy per hour" is simply "16 terawatts of power (continuously)". I want to see writers move away from the unit kWh and instead use joules, which is way less confusing and harder to misuse. Also we as a society need to respect the distinct concepts of energy (J) versus power (J/s = W).
Well, if bear attacks really did contribute to a statistically significant increase in excess deaths, that would indicate that you're doing something wrong.

Misattributing it to bears when it was really lead in gasoline or plastics in the air or whatever really caused it just delays your ability to help fix it, but that's a different question.
It says in the article that it's a violation of the TOS.
The Subway Is for Transportation
Tangentially, just yesterday I traveled with an old train from Oslo and one thing that I notice again and again there is the sliding glass doors between the train cars have a "button" on them that does nothing except when you reach out to touch it you trigger a photosensor.

So it feels like the door anticipates you.
This timely announcement saved me a day. I was going to prototype something with Codex this week.
I have nopro S22 and: Settings -> Connections -> Mobile networks (I may have mistranslated something) -> There is a toggle for sim1 VoLTE calls

Wifi calling is under Settings -> Connections, second item, just under wifi networks
> That's why. Racism is something that we made up, and then tried to massage circumstances and data to "prove" it. This

I listed reasons to doubt the conclusions of the study. The study is generally well done and accounts for just about everything you can (practically) account for. However, it is not without flaws. It is not dispositive. But it is evidence in the direction of what's sometimes called "scientific racism".

That doesn't mean it's true. The jury is still very much out on the question. But what I was asking the GP was not "why are you unsure what's true here", but rather, "why are you so confident that one answer is true over the other".

> I also put a lie to it with my existence.

This is a misunderstanding of statistics. What this study appears to show, if you take it at face value, is that the black/white IQ gap is about 1/3 of a standard deviation. That means there are still plenty of very smart black people, and very dumb white people. It's a statement about population level averages, not individuals.

That being said, I don't take the study at face value. I think there are important confounds and the answer as to the direction and magnitude of the "genetic IQ gap" if any, is still unclear. However, what I definitely do not think is warranted by the evidence is the highly confident statement that the gap is 0.

> Sidenote: "The best study I'm aware of on the topic" is not a convincing argument that it is, in fact, even a serviceable study on the topic. However, it is a study that is often cited as such by the aforementioned bad actors. As with much racist rhetoric (spoken by avowed racists and non-racists alike), it says more about the person who brought it up than anyone else. You seem to be encountering the infohazard I mentioned earlier.

I would sincerely love for you to make me aware of more and better studies on the topic. It's something about which I'm curious, and would relish the opportunity to learn more.
Are you saying people somehow watched Saturday Night Live in medieval times?

When I tried this using the same initial prompt as OP, GPT-4 failed to guess "GLOVE" in 6 tries and made errors like guessing CLOAK after CORAL, despite knowing that the first letter wasn't in the secret word. https://pastebin.com/RmtaPTJa
What do you mean you're supposed to trust government regulators though? Regulators don't prevent bank failures. What account holders can (more or less) trust is the deposit insurance scheme to insure them for a well-known amount.

If somebody deposits significantly more than FDIC in a bank account, would you advise them to research the bank's financials or not?
One thing that hasn't gotten much focus with 3.5 and 4 is fine tuning. It would be interesting to see what the road map looks like for this. Even with more tokens, fine tuning still seems necessary.
They don't stand to lose much if their risky behavior fails, but they stand to make a lot if it succeeds.
The effect size was about a third of a standard deviation, which isn't huge, but isn't trivial either. Assuming it's true and genetically determined, that could have significant effects at the aggregate level.

However, a ray of hope in the study is that, even if you take its confidence intervals at face value (I don't), then there is quite a bit of room for improvement in the nurture sphere, as the black/white IQ test gap is generally much larger than this when not as carefully controlled as this study.
It will be as effective as graphic warning on Cigarette packaging.

The people 'betting' on Crypto are delusional, they will just see this as a conspiracy by the Government / Banks.
I’m curious about this as well, because the top comment (TNB takes over an existing bank that already has this account) seems like a perfectly viable alternative. Given that they had the resources to get to this point in the first place, was there a reason why this wasn’t an option?
For Android users, I highly recommend Podcast Addict, which also seems to be the work of a single dev. It's incredibly good and constantly getting new features.

The drawbridges are being pulled up.

Deep learning and large language models grew through free and open source software tools, open-protocol networks and open-access research. The next revolution in computing is a reversion to the closed world of computing’s early days, when the number of machines could be counted on one hand.

A black box language model is the ultimate “binary blob.”

Nothing to see here, just garbage collection time. Everyone's successful when interest are low or near zero. Degens feel naked now with the higher cost of capital from interest rates.

This is a concept called a Narrow Bank.

Basically it’s a bank that puts all its deposits directly with the Fed. There have been attempts to start such a bank in the past and they have been denied a banking charter.
I feel like the icons and logos of AWS are the most unimaginative icons I've come across. Mostly just boxes and lines in different configurations, and very hard to tell apart from each other. It's just awash in boxes and circles, like a UML diagram or something.
I think OP also was concerned that our tech jobs get automated away. If that turns out true, a career change and finding a new job will take much longer than six months.

As a fellow rust n00b, one of the big problems I'm seeing with using ChatGPT to generate rust is that it often doesn't have a good model of ownership semantics. This has caused me lots of burnt time working through plausible but not accurate solutions to problems.

Yes, with sqlx, the migrations must be the source of truth for your DB schema. You cannot (ideally), manage them elsewhere. This is why the sqlx migration tool is so good, you kinda have to use it.

It's honestly very nice. The code, my migrations, my DB browser, all in one window in my IDE.

And the query is validated by running it, at compile time, by inserting mock inputs inside a transaction. It works really well.

Even if you disagree that the DB must be the source of authority and it can differ, the development boon of the process is worth the 5% chance there is some issue later, which can probably be easily resolved.

I think portable gaming has been available for so long that as far as airplanes are concerned, people who want to play games on the flight will bring their own.

Longest Flight I was ever on was Toronto to Munich, but my travelling was from Victoria.

If it's learning from human behavior, this is nothing new. Our society of late has been rewarding confidence over questioning and that's likely reflected in the ChatGPT training corpus.
React is one of the most popular JavaScript front-end libraries for developing web applications. Lately, React has introduced a handful of breaking changes for the React ecosystem. Overall, it strives to provide better performance right out of the box for modern web applications. React Server Components are one such feature that has become a hot topic since they were introduced. It is an experimental feature, but still, you can play around with it to grasp where React is going.

In this article, I will discuss React Server Components, show you how to implement them, and consider their pros and cons.
I think it is time we treated domestic wastewater with reverse osmosis before release into the environment.

It would solve all kinds of low level contamination with long life contaminants like this.

Reverse osmosis isn't too energy intensive as long as the water is mostly salt-free.

The rejected water from reverse osmosis could then be multi stage flash distilled, and the waste from that incinerated.

The cost is high, but not insane right now, and the theoretical minimum cost (ie. Of necessary raw materials and energy) is low.
I doubt that VR will be the disruptive factor for the success of Mixed Reality.

Required physical space and overall utilization are commercially limiting factors, achieving the required level of "presence" (which is beyond immersion) is still a major technical hurdle.

After all, the human brain is preconditioned to detect if something is "off", VR needs to achieve a level of performance that doesn't trigger any of this senses.

AR on the other hand has none of the above limitations. It's comparatively easy to develop a good experience there, and much more simple to develop applications once a strong ecosystem is in place. AND it contributes heavily to the VR-evolution as well.

If XR will disrupt in this "round", expect VR to evolve slowly until AR has appeared and scaled. Without AR fueling it, VR won't be able to accelerate in evolution and affordability.
You appear to be thinking about scanning a physical object, whereas zero-shot one image to 3D object would be vastly more useful with a single (possibly AI-generated or AI-assisted) illustration. You get a 3D model in seconds at essentially zero cost, can iterate hundreds of times in a single day.

The pre-computer version of this is H. G. Burger's Wordtree [1]. It is an absolutely fascinating one-man project to "binomialize" the entire English vocabulary. It is worth owning just to read the bizarre and fascinating series of prefaces, in several of which Mr. Burger details his strongly held beliefs of a strong copyright system.

The tokio tutorial is (mostly) pretty well written and worth a read.

There's a lot of good docs like rust-by-example and the rust book, but for my liking, those both seem to spend too much time on each topics rather than distilling the info into smaller denser topics. This is probably great for newer developers but more difficult for someone that wants to learn the 30 second version of something rather than the 5 minute version. It's possible that punching these books through a GPT prompt like "Extract the salient points from the following:" might help?
I don't think I work with anyone who understands even the entirety of the software my team works on, despite many of them having worked on it for well over a decade. So understand how a computer works...

Sure. I was just pushing back on the “America doesn’t metric system, lol” cliche.
> The end result is identical

Citation needed.

Installing npm dependencies in different orders is not garanteed to be deterministic due to npm's package flattening and, before npm 8, plain broken dependency resolution strategy.

The package-lock.json is essential to get the same mess that the initial developer got on the same order as his install.

> and my local machine has a copy of that package somewhere too.

On maven/gradle, like on pnpm, you get one copy of each library. Not 3000x copies of lodash spread around your disk.
So? They're still getting what they pay for.
Steam engines were in a way self-regulated by industry in quite a few countries from about mid-1800s (because of the boiler explosion risks).
Cornucopia looks cool.

Regarding your second bullet point, can you elaborate more? I haven't seen this. You have to explicitly use Option<> for non null columns but that's what I expect.
Staff that will burn thousands of combined hours of other people in order to save themselves a day or two are a HUGE RED FLAG! Businesses that think that is perfectly reasonable are toxic AF.
Back in the day Virgin Atlantic (and others?) hosted a version of the SNES. I played Link to the Past on a flight from London to Cape Town and, as the first long haul flight I'd been on, I thought it was normal. By far the best in-flight gaming experience I've had [0].

Pretty much all carriers have D-pad controllers, though the inputs tend to be very spongy. I don't think people use them much anyway because the touch screen is more intuitive and orienting the controller with respect to the screen is a surprisingly bad user experience (some are vertical, some are horizontal, wrapping never works well).

The games are improving a bit because the hardware is actually quite good now (some of the newer aircraft even have per-seat bluetooth). American has Plants vs Zombies, for example. I've played Luxor somwhere, and there are occasionally good puzzlers like Sokoban which I rarely play anywhere else. Annoying that the game has to cache and reload every time there's an announcement. The mid 00s systems are pretty terrible, but newer seat back displays are pretty great in terms of resolution/quality for what they are.

An object in the real world can be located in 3d space. You can say that one representation of that object is as a point in that space; it is embedded in a 3d embedding space.

Of course, those coordinates are not the only way in which the object can be represented, but for a certain problem context, these location coordinates are useful.

Given objects A,B,C, or rather, given their coordinates, one can tell which two are closest to each other, or you can find the point D that is the other point of the parallelogram ... this. In fact, it allows you to do similarity tests like "A:B :: C:D". This is through standard vector algebra.

Now, imagine each word associated with a 100-dimensional vector. You can do the same thing. Amazingly, one can do things like "man:woman ::king: ...." and get the answer "queen", just by treating each word as a vector, and looking up the inverse mapping for vector to word. It almost feels ... intelligent!

This embedding -- each word associated with an n-D vector -- is obtained while training neural nets. In fact, now you have
readymade, pre-trained embedding approaches like Word2Vec.

The outage was most likely due to a issue where you could inherit other users sessions and see their chats and whatnot. While that is unconfirmed, we know the outage was different from regular at-capacity outages because they intentionally killed their API (status code 404 on all api endpoints) and you couldn’t even bypass the capacity message by being a Plus subscriber.

How does free tier of proton VPN compare?

I occasionally use its free tier and I thought the freetier is supported by the paid users. They get higher bandwidths, lots of related features and support while I get to use a basic VPN that is generally privacy oriented.
I've had an interview were I couldn't detect a palindrome because I was out of my mind nervous and couldn't think at all. Meanwhile I've been team lead, engineering director and published research papers on machine learning. But interviewing is such a different situation with its own challenges. I've conducted interviews where candidates were absolutely amazing and then got hung up on a tiny mistake and then got clearly way too nervous and performed much worse.
I don't have to ask. ChatGPT is heavily censored. Rhetorical question.

How do we fix that? Require companies to pay a large severance? Then companies will be heavily disincentivized to hire in the first place due to the risk.
Irrelevant. ChatGPT is heavily censored.

And yet, their reputation doesn't matter given the fact that near all of them are currently laying off massive numbers of their employees. I'm glad there are 5-100 person startups with amazing reputations, unfortunately, the vast majority of tech workers will not be able to funnel into those. It's the most basic of economics and logistics.

If you want to stubbornly die on your lonely hill go for it. I'm not interested in further conversation with you, sorry.
Not really. We would know people by proxy and referral through other real people. Like how real life works. And actually, over a large duration of time, the real nature of people eventually surface - even the nature of those who successfully pretend to be someone else that they are not. I dont expect that it would be different in the case of AI - it should actually be easier to tell that an account is an AI in the long run. Real people are rather sticky in their ways and character for large durations of time. Their quirks show. The AI constantly evolves and changes.
What if I have a dynamically generated character description in my game’s world, generate a portrait for them using StableDiffusion and then turn that into a 3d model that can be posed and re-used?
I have big issues with impractical interview questions that favor interview prep over actually practical skills. That said, anyone who can program should be able to implement fizz buzz in 10-15 minutes given a description of the problem even if they had never heard of it.
I was getting some ideas from the text. Scandinavian countries have probably the world's best institutions. I'm talking here specifically about courts, laws, police. Also lack of corruption, excellent education, and a good labor market. In a world like this, debt becomes really just a number on paper. They can take huge mortgages and pass them on to their children (alongside with the property of course).
> The days of understanding our own code are rapidly coming to an end.

That's one possible development of events, yes. The other one is inventing DSLs on top of popular languages so we're spared tons of boilerplate; but then we'll need experts on the actual underlying languages (say C++, Rust, Lua, Erlang or anything with a good VM and/or statically strongly typed and compiled to native code) when sh1t hits the fan, which... actually can work just fine.
I'm struggling to find a comparison but I think it's probably because there's a clear and easy migration path that they can shut it off for users who pay the company, and expect support, and not that it was free and in beta. I don't mean legally acceptable because it's spelled out in the ToS, but acceptable to the community.
adding to this, op, your org does drug tests and the recruiters have to administer them?
Monumental achievement, but what's really extraordinary here is that this monograph is completely written/illustrated/typeset using LaTeX. Can't even begin to imagine how much effort this took.
Overengineering. There are many unnecessary layers of abstraction that serve no material, quantifiable problem, but satisfy someone's arbitrary notion of clean code or best practices. This results in new features taking longer to develop because more code has to be written, and there's more layers to work with when writing new code.
The availability of this toggle is carrier dependant. Also S22 Ultra has already been patched.
