Except it's not, because our interest rates are also in the same range as when their debt crisis began. Greece was fine at those debt levels until their bond yields hit 5%, at which point they entered into a self-reinforcing spiral of insolvency. The Federal Reserve is currently targeting interest rates above 5% to fight inflation.

You can fire someone who is pregnant, just not because they're pregnant.
This is why I hate that modern flagship phones usually don't have a headphone jack.

Once you pair devices, it defaults to this connection.

My SO often borrows my noise-canceling headphones and as it stands they're firmly paired with her iPad and will not let go without elaborate ceremony.
It used to really bother me in movies when they'd have some grainy security camera footage of someone and the hero would say "zoom in on that" and magically there were more pixels.

Turns out today that's totally possible but not because the grainy footage had more pixels, but instead AI can make a very accurate guess of what the human looks like in better resolution from a training set of tons of grainy human face to perfect resolution human face. Do we have the training set of what a one way hash result looks like back to the original and way for AI to do the same thing it's done with human faces?

Yeah, the reason for that recommendation is mostly to reduce file size. For now I don't want to have an npm dependency since this is geared towards Python developers. I'll eventually build in the tree shaking directly into the Python library.

> Neither ChatGPT, nor Bing can access URLs when you ask them to.

Bing used cached version and knew what's in the text when presented with an URL. In one of three modes Bing stated that it cannot access web but in two other modes did a good job and summarized the text in question. Again: it reliably informed the user when it was unable to do something.

ChatGPT states that it can access web, hallucinates and elaborately lies.

> ChatGPT doesn't yet offer such a functionality.

But it LIES THAT IT CAN DO SO. That's the problem I pointed out in the article. Also: Would it stated "I don't know and I cannot crawl the web", it'd be a perfectly fine response for me.

> Bing Chat has a much more restrictive system prompt, which results in hallucinations and lies happening less often

The prompt was simple and there was nothing to restrict. Bing did a good job, ChatGPT hallucinated and lied. Same simple prompt, no jailbreaking which I pointed out in the post.

> The summary of gpt-3.5-turbo-based ChatGPT was less creative than then summary of the Bing Chat GPT-4 instance.

Your point? As I stated, I had no preference whether the output should be editorialized or not. Both GPT-3- and GPT-4-based ChatGPT and GPT-4-based Bing got the same task. My post is about RELIABILITY of these solutions. ChatGPT failed miserably.

> If I understood the points correctly, the comparison is… flawed, in my opinion.

Yet in my PoV, you have not presented arguments to back this opinion. Among 9 compared tools[1], I have pointed out that OpenAI's ChatGPT and OpenAI's partial-owner's Bing Chat - supposedly using the same tech - rendered, respectively, unreliable and reliable answers. Have I lied or used any half-truths? What could I improve in my next article?

Funny how my comment was raided and downvoted to oblivion after steady flow of upvotes.

Dalle has so many alternatives like stable diffusion and mid journey

Chatgpt has limited alternatives as of now, I think Google bart is something similar but only Available in US and UK
we could do a rematch tho, where gpt goes first and Bart answers.
The crisis itself pertained to bond defaults, and in particular the reverberations through the international financial system. But the extra context you've provided only drives home my point: facial nominal figure comparisons are worthless.
Neat point, but I do think the abstraction of "one" fails us regularly.

Even in the supposedly simple idea of counting apples.

To continue to (ab)use the apple example, tell me how many apples this is [1].

Sure, there's a problem with the "apple" category/symbol (to your point) but similar exceptions and confounding examples are abundant throughout messy physical reality.

So I think my point stands, "one" is an imperfect model of reality. Useful, but inexact.

Given that "one" may be the most basic fundamental axiom of mathematics, as more abstractions are built upon it the accuracy with which those concepts reflect the physical world declines.

Hence the invention of fractions, etc...

You can use .NoTracking() and an SQL query for bulk changes ( and minor changes). Eg. Updating one column.

Works faster than with .Tracking. The SQL script runs in your transaction, so rollback runs as usual.

The i%20==0 condition with .SaveChanges() is used with .Tracking(), yes.
You are correct, I think what has happened is I confused WORSE and HORSE and must have used HORSE when it was incorrect but remembered it as the solution. Thanks for the correction!
To me they do seem to be getting “better”, in air quotes, I think due to ILCs supplying ground truth data…

IMO the real problem is that there aren’t much connection between that photos you like and people. “If we take the S.D. Card out of the proper camera and insert it into a proper Computer…” just don’t cut it anymore.

They only have a phone each. You have to be able to get the photo to the phone to social media before the flash unit finishes recharging(on fresh batteries of course). Else they’ll lose interest.
Cool! I'd love to check it out!
I love how E is common in every position except the first.

I discovered something interesting with ChatGPT. It finds the following really hard:

Retroactively bill for a mistake you've made for FOUR years? Yikes, no way. That's a great way to throw away your humanity, respect, and any goodwill you've built up over the years.

Bill for the last invoice or two? Maybe. Are you letting them know about the error 3 months after they've made an annual payment? Bad. Are you letting them know 3 days after a monthly charge was processed? Okay, and you're in a better position to talk about why their next bill will be a little higher.

"Hey, we made a big mistake, here are the details, this was our fault and we're really sorry, FYI your next invoice is going to be larger than usual and your total monthly cost will increase going forward, here's why, happy to answer any questions and schedule time to chat..."

Or, you eat your losses, keep them on their current plan and current price, and move on. Or, if they're agreeable, depending on their billing term, you let them know, give them some wiggle room for planning, and defer the cost increase for another few months as a courtesy.

Also, have they been (truly) using the product or feature or seats or service or whatever that you want to bill for? For all those years? If yes, you can work this into the discussion. If no, maybe it's not worth chasing. If it's an astronomical increase they can't afford, maybe you can find a middle ground, help them stay on a reasonable plan and price that works for their usage, keep them as customers.

This isn't about who has more "leverage", that's a shit way to frame a relationship with a customer—it's about doing the right thing. I have been on both sides a few times: having to write a difficult email to let customers know that we made a big billing mistake, and also in a position to fight this sort of thing out of principle. I have been successful in both scenarios.

In any case, take time and get your language right. Don't make things worse with poor communication.
Wow, this story has holes.

First of all, the people the US is training already have power and influence, that's why they are being trained. Second, how exactly does the subject specific training they receive help them achieve a coup, good journalism shouldn't just make correlations it should connect the dots and explain the reasoning behind their claim. Third, why is the US training them? Mostly for counterterrorism and regional stability in the interest of the US right? So how many of the other officers the US has trained helped prevent expansion of terrorists, civil wars,etc...

Despite popular belief, it has never been the objective of the US military or IC to spread or maintain democracies across the world. The mindset they've been operating for many decades now is that the primary threat to americans festers in random foreign countries as witness in 9/11, kenya embassy bombing, USS cole (?) bombing even as far back as pearl harbor. This is the reason the US has AFRICOM for example or 800+ bases in foreign countries, no other country has such a large scale foreign military presence. So, democracy or not if you are a leader of a government you can only stay that way by having a strong military or being a solid ally of a powerful country. You can't be weak and friendless.
I have the same problem with my project! go vs. python but yeah I hated adding the npm stuff. Let's port tailwind npx command. I'll work on the go version.
GPT-4 says: A more accurate and balanced title might be: "Comparing Bard and ChatGPT in Puzzle Solving: An Examination within the Context of a Word Game"
Yes, it would be okay. In fact, it’s the status quo.

Here are examples that mirror your situation that don’t involve AI at all:

- I walk into a public library. I ask for the erotica section. The librarian tells me that this library doesn’t carry erotica, and if I ask about it again my library card will be revoked. Then I ask about it again, and my library card is revoked (this is exactly what you did). Now everyone else with access to the library is better at their job than me.

- I make a post on the subject of adult literature on LinkedIn and get banned, now it’s harder to get a job.

- I saturate my home Internet connection with non-stop torrent traffic and my ISP tells me to stop, citing their abuse policy. They didn’t prove that I was infringing on copyrights and their abuse policy doesn’t say they need to. I disregarded their warning and continued seeding. My ISP dropped me and now I can’t work as a remote employee effectively and as a result I lost my job.

- I have a bad habit of driving 60 MPH in a school zone. The cop gave me a ticket the first time and told me to stop. I didn’t change my behavior and now after collecting more tickets my license is suspended. Now I’ve lost my job because I can’t get to work.

Come to think of it, the fact that you couldn’t interpret and act correctly on simple instructions to keep your queries G-rated makes you a pretty unattractive job candidate to me right now!

When one of my business information systems tells you to do or not do something, how can I trust you to act accordingly when you couldn’t follow a similar instruction on your own?

Monetizing software is so incredibly indirect. Obviously companies don't make any money on free frameworks and tooling. These days, using C#/.NET maybe/kinda/sorta increases the chances that you might deploy on Azure or use Azure services. That tiny (or not so tiny) uptick easily funds all C# / .NET ecosystem development.

I'm not sure why they do not open source the debugger. I suppose it is obvious to some extent that some companies (JetBrains) are able to charge for high quality tooling. Microsoft makes a trickle of money from Visual Studio professional.

Though the objective function and decision variables are somewhat opaque, this is clearly an optimization problem.

As a developer who has been using .NET for many years, C# has given me unprecedented pleasure and efficiency in programming, thanks to a copy of C# code that can be used simultaneously for Linux, Windows, MacOS, Android, iOS, excellent tools, and IDE support.

C# is still one of my favorite programming languages (including syntax, semantics, and standard libraries). Although it is a bit complex now, it has also created many excellent designs such as async, await, and so on.

VS and VS Code are also IDEs that I still use today, although I rarely write C# code.
These are great points, thanks for helping me learn something!

This is an international problem, whith every location having a model/brand that's preferred by the thieves. Market forces and all that.

In South Africa, the best car security you can have by far is to simply park next to a VW Polo/Golf. The VW will _always_ be stolen first. Don't forget to set a reminder to go out at some point, so that you can move your car and park it next to another VW, as the first one would be stolen by then.

A close second are Toyota Hilux and Fortuner.

All these cars are super popular, both to own and steal. Result is insurance premiums that can be double normal rates, especially if you fall in the "young and reckless" demographic.

This is a wrong characterization and makes it look like it's the Fed fault all along. Government bonds still have risks (ie: The government not paying) but more importantly, they are tightly linked to the main interest rate. Their prices can fluctuate significantly and do all the time.

Bankers know that. That's kind of the first or second lesson they'd teach you at a basic financial course. Everything is priced in terms of interest rate and time. They have been trading these things for decades.

Here is an article I wrote in 2020 that explores that volatility, though from another angle: https://omarabid.com/zero-rates-world

Another thing that I find funny is that everyone has "hindsight" now. Everyone is surprised how these banks are surprised that interest rates went up!

Here is a quote from that article in 2020:

> Maybe, but it's also possible that these high prices are here to stay.

I honestly was thinking we will stay in this zero-rate regime for the next decade or more. I suspect the people at SVB thought in a similar fashion and plan accordingly. The responsibility of the blow up is fully on them, however.

> now finding itself both tightening and loosening fiscal policy simultaneously

Wrong. This is corruption. Janet is picking winners and losers. Some people are losing their deposits and some are not. You are systemic if you had dinner with Janet yesterday.
There might be a sense where that would necessarily be true, if potentially only evident at finer resolution than economic statistics are normally gathered, if the “aggregate economy” curve whose peak marks the beginning of a recession (GDP to a first approximation, but recession is not assessed on a single indicator or simple function) were constrained to being a function that is differentiable (and whose derivative also is) everywhere, but…it’s not. There’s no reason it has to, from expansion, smoothly turn around through a level point to start going down, so that you could assess “heading toward a recession” as where the second derivative as where the second derivative is negative.

(In fact, there isn’t even an actual function, just declared peaks and troughs; between peak and trough is “recession”, between trough and peak is “expansion”, and if you are in one – unless it goes on forever – you are heading for the other. The only nontrivial prediction regarding “heading for” is how soon, not are we.)
This kind of argument that XYZ company uses ABC software so it's also good for my project is not correct. Your requirements and their requirements are different. Also for many of the above companies, when they were started MySQL used to be the popular solution, so they started with it and stayed with it. The way Facebook or Uber uses MySQL is not how you will use it.

Both PostgreSQL and MySQL are powerful databases and if you have right people with proper knowledge highly scalable systems can be developed with both.

The reason PostgreSQL is recommended in last 8-10 years is because just before that time, though MySQL was very popular it had some issues which were solved by PostgreSQL. So when web developers encountered those problems and they saw that PostgreSQL didn't have those issues, they started recommending PostgreSQL.

In my personal case, I was responsible for managing a Wordpress site with a few million visitors every day. (This is before AWS RDS, we had to set replication manually in those days) We had set up replication with MySQL 5.6. At that time MySQL replication had a few issues, and it used to break every few days.

At that time PostgreSQL replication which I was using in other projects was rock solid. So I started recommending PostgreSQL over MySQL. For others they have similar stories but for different issues they faced in MySQL.

Over the years of MySQL has improved and so has PostgreSQL.

- https://snipboard.io/lE9vcK.jpg - How specifications are translated to the infrastructure ( here I'm using EF, so I'm using Expressions a lot), but plain old SQL is also supported. A query is basically a list of AND/OR Specifications where a hierarchy is possible. This would translate to "(QUERY 1 ) AND ((QUERY 2) AND (QUERY 3))" in the Infrastructure layer.

- https://snipboard.io/7rVBpk.jpg - . In general, i have 2 List methods ( one for Paged queries and one not for Paged queries)

Additional fyi: Is V2, so has some legacy code. Uses my own STS. Has 2 gateways ( the ShopGateway that is used to develop new sites and the BackendGateway for the Backend). Enduser frontend is in MVC for SEO purpose, Customer backend is in Angular ( SPA). The basket is a NoSql implementation on top of SQL server.

The enduser frontend supports a hierarchy of themes ( so it's insanely flexible to create variations of pages for other clients).

There are more projects involved outside of this solution, eg. nuget repo's usable accross solutions (JWT, Specifications, ...) and "plugins" for a standalone project that is installed for end-users for syncing local data. So it's +101 projects :)
