It depends on what the employee is doing and where they do it.

I work at a place that just cut support for desktop Linux in favor of going monoculture Mac (with Linux as server support and developer build machine connected via remote access). Their reasoning was pretty straightforward: every OS supported is a new set of security threat vectors to track and machines to maintain, and in their opinion for remote hardware, the tools they had on Mac were way easier to configure, monitor, and use than their Linux counterparts.

Supporting one employee using one machine with another OS on it isn't a one-employee-support cost footprint; it's a "Linux team" cost footprint. If the security of the machine can be ensured through physical means, then it's probably fine, but if the employee takes the machine home, someone has to be responsible for configs, security patches, ensuring encryption is working, etc. on a whole other OS.
Maybe the ChatGPT implementation of GPT-4 is different than the one in Bing AI, but I tried to ask Bing AI to write a fairly simple Python-based ini-parser yesterday (and by that I really mean using the built-in configparser module), and while it got a good amount of the way there, but attempted to index a string with a string-key, which was weird. After multiple notices of this mistake, it produced something that _could_ work in some cases, but was definitely brittle.

Paywalled tool. It should say so before wasting your time to go and find a URL to test. Dark pattern.

If memory serves I was impressed by kagi's open beta for summary of very large docs but not enough to be teased into signing up for everyday use when it was paywalled. A simple instruction pre-amble to an LLM will probably do the same in few weeks time which is probably why they yanked it. For now I use https://summate.it or perplexity.

I’ll look at the stylesheet later, but how are they avoiding links on iOS being dark blue on a dark background?

iOS’s default “dark” stylesheet is, unfortunately, not usable, and I’ve wondered if there’s a workaround that doesn’t involve me hard-coding specific colors.

One hypothesis I have is that as food and labor costs have increased, people eat out less and generate more store traffic. Those shoppers are stuck with the decision to cook and their demand on a per store basis is more inelastic.
Sure, but thanks to bad behavior by the rest of the industry, Steam is still looked at very favorably by consumers in contrast.

It's easy to say "should have used an HSM" (or, in truth, many HSMs), but I can appreciate the technical challenges of acutually doing that at their scale. It would not be a trivial project. There's a ton of operational concerns here, including figuring out how you would go about rotating the key on all those HSMs in an emergency.

In an ironic way, the consumers decided to leave the EU and expose the UK to higher inflation. Though much of the world has been seeing severe inflation at this time, it would have probably been better if the UK had access to a broader food market.

I didn't quote it to contradict the situation.
What is better than having health is a wealth that is ownership of capital. Capital exchange goes through the conversion of money into commodity into money of altered value. This can help provide the means of attaining great health.

Another way to look at it is home ownership becoming more of a pipe dream for newer generations. More investment will be needed in order to participate and reap from the housing market. This is over a basic human need of shelter.
If you are physically giving up cash, it is much easier to figure out if you have insufficient cash to make a purchase. With a credit card, it is less obvious to figure out that the balance on the card now exceeds the cash you have to pay it off. It can be done, true, but it requires a level of diligence that most people don't have.
That outcome assumes the AI is an idiot while simultaneously assumes it is a genius. The world being consumed by a paper clip manufacturing AI is a silly fable.

There's an ethos to not using proprietary software whereas Vim vs EMacs is more a right vs wrong issue.
Open source does NOT equal safe, it's actually worse. If you release something that can wreak havoc and it's open source, it will ALWAYS be out there, no off switch.

Imagine we later discover that an open source LLM is way more powerful than we realize. For example GPT-3 is pretty powerful but it really hasn't been out a while. Imagine what we discover it can do in 3-5 years, without even accounting for more advanced models like GPT-4 which is already out. Imagine someone discovers some really powerful, dangerous capability years down the line.

People can't imagine what can go wrong with LLMs, but think about the recourse we have for bad behavior online now: arresting people, forcing legal action against individuals/companies, sanctions or financial repercussions. Notice these aren't technical barriers, these are social barriers. You can't do these things again language models!

In my experience, the usual reason for a project not using the XDG Base Dir spec is because somebody on the project simply doesn't like it, particularly XDG_CONFIG_HOME defaulting to $HOME/.config. Resistance to the XDG Base Dir spec really does seem to be rooted in personal preference, I've never seen an objection to it on any technical basis.

The best arguments against it that I've seen are "many other projects don't use this spec, so why should we?" (e.g. our project should be the last to adopt it.. but why?) and arguments along the lines of "XDG_BIN_HOME isn't in the spec, therefore we shouldn't use XDG_CONFIG_HOME", which just seems like a lame excuse.

Not a work suggestion, but you can usually save money on classes a couple of ways.

If any of your remaining courses have a CLEP tests associated with them, that's the first thing to do. You can cross courses off your list in an afternoon.

Additionally, most colleges accept transfer credits, so you may be able to take courses locally at community college and then transfer them back to your ivy league.

I've already had managers try to weigh in on technical discussions by posting ChatGPT's "thoughts" as if it had a seat at the table. They also quoted it to answer a question of when we need to worry about scale (a big part of the discussion we were having).

The answer was useless btw. Just a coarse, high-level, unactionable summary of what we had already talked about. Dressed up in a few nicely-worded paragraphs.

I wonder if this is gonna be a new pain in my ass. Wait until managers start using it to disagree with my estimates - I might blow my top lol.

I had a very similar experience. It started to happen within less than a year of starting my career. Both arms bothered me if I was typing in high gear for a long time, but the right was a lot worse and started to be an everyday thing. I switched the mouse from right to left side for a week and the right side started to feel a lot better. I ditched the mouse for a trackpad and picked up a kinesis advantage and never looked back. Still use a mouse and traditional keyboard layout for my gaming PC though.
I view it the same way as the knowledge cards.

If your site doesn't offer more than just that little blurb, what are you doing here?

If your blurb doesn't have some compelling call to action to continue the adventure on-site, I think you've already lost the game before you started. Forgive me if this is harsh, but if the content is so vapid and uncompelling that users are better served by a simple knowledge card, there's very little value being added. Worse yet, many of those sites all have spun content on the same topic, with the same answers and tens of megabytes of bloat.
> Thiel is more worried about things like 1905 and 1917 Russian revolutions

If we wants to prevent revolutions, he should be advocating for gradual change and a reduction in inequality, not fomenting culture war. Extreme inequality leads to revolution, and the civil war his people seem eager to instigate also seems contrary to his goals.
> They are now no longer exporting, and many countries in the world are getting 50% or more of their calories from import. Things will get better before they get worse.

It's not like they wouldn't like to export when they could. But they are not allowed to export due to various sanctions and limitations. It's almost like one side taking half of the world as hostages and letting them hunger, so they could harm and blame the other side.

But yes, "Carthago delenda est" no matter the costs and victims.

Does it make sense for them to be better off? We have been living on oil which takes a crazy amount of years to produce and clean up. This is like living on debt for a number of years and you cannot continue to live with a negative balance. At some point you have to take the foot off the accelerator and when you do that it lowers the quality of life.
The consumer decides what they are prepared to pay for a product, unless the demand is inelastic. And for food overall, the demand is inelastic. Consumers cannot just say "food is too expensive for me, so I think I'm going to to go without it this month".

They can choose between the individual products they buy, so it wouldn't be a problem if just some food items got expensive. But the price of food overall is inflating.
Key point is vaguely good. Scale is still important and that manifests in the difference between gpt3.5 and gpt4 based chatgpts. It's qualitatively and quantitatively so much better in pretty much every benchmark. There is no way around the bitter lesson.
My understanding is the Russia and Ukraine both contribute meaningful portions of the global food supply. Wouldn't destabilizing these two countries affect food prices globally?
Ah yes, I too, as a Canadian, wish for the collapse of an entire other country's currency because I like to buy things online sometimes.
Honestly even with this reasoning I still don't understand the BNPL business model. If a person can't afford it from the start how are they going to afford it once interest and fees kick in? Seems like the BNPL providers are paying for something full price, potentially charging some fees, but overall receiving less because the debtor defaults.

Obviously I'm missing here because there is no way the BNPL industry would exist without profit, but I just don't get it.
> 16:10 is a pretty standard ratio; all Apple laptops ...

At 10% of the market, I'd not say that's standard.

> I'm not sure how it's possible to "not see a path" when every long-term global trend shows material wealth has been increasing for centuries.

It's because I'm thinking about my children's well-being. That's near-term, local stuff. That the long-term global trend is going up doesn't mean the short-term local trend is also going up.

Also, I'm comparing my children's standard of living to my own. I'm not comparing my children's standard of living to that of past eras.

> stop letting negative spin from click-driven media and politicians

You're assuming quite a lot about about me here.
> The widespread adoption of local AI won't obsolete a well-priced AI API. I feel like we learned that lesson pretty thoroughly in the SaaS era.

Unless I am misunderstanding (?), this seems like an overgeneralized lesson. There are many key differences between these situations that make such a connection unlikely. Could you explain your reasoning?
Even for tradespeople, the truck is at least as much cultural norms as it is practical. You can easily fit a pressure washer or 4-6 2x10s in a small modern hatchback. A proper bed with a liner is obviously more durable, but not necessary.

For a better anecdote, my father is a contractor and a few years back started actively avoiding his F-450 for day to day work because it's such an expensive pain to operate. Instead he got a smart car and drives that to the site most days, complete with table saw and other tools. Again, not saying that every every tradesperson can work like this, but just think of how much easier parking would be if half the people on site weren't driving F-series trucks.

yes, there is a difference:

* advertised as "no interest unlike credit cards" ("free") but if you are struggling, you will get hit with fees

* less strict credit checks, so more struggling people can get it

* attracts struggling people because if your credit is good and you are paying off, you will get much better deal with CCs in terms of cash back, miles, etc - nothing like that here

* merchants actively promoting bnpl to entice struggling people to buy things they can't afford (merchants typically don't promote one-click-pay with specific credit cards)

all these add up to heavily incentivizing broke people to become even more broke, more so than credit cards
My recommendation would be Jekyll. You can host it for free on a variety of hosts including GitHub (pages) and Vercel. It has support for "data files" which can easily be presented as tables. In the case of GH pages, there's built in support for code syntax highlighting and support for embedded mermaid diagrams. For the cases where mermaid is not enough, GH supports SVG format.
The way you phrased it made it seem that way. Starting with "Meanwhile" is a common way of introducing a contradictory scenario.
That’s an interesting point. Especially when the mega food corps are particularly concentrated on the cheaper foods.
I don't think there was a magical point in consolidation that let them increase the price of eggs ad hoc. Or a magic 'greed' button that they refused to hit before now. Why not just make it $30 an egg?

> They didn't have the pricing power/their customers didn't have the tolerance for rising prices/

Just for everyone's sanity, it's WAY easier to believe that there are underlying market conditions that should be addressed and not worry too much about retailers. They are just doing marginal pricing. If there is a shortage on eggs, it's better for everyone that they price eggs so they stay on the shelves than to price them as if nothing is happening and then people panic because they can never find them anymore.

The profits may be up, but the revenue is still down overall.
The amount of time people spend applying for and maintaining welfare makes up for whatever you think your tax contribution is worth. It's even at best.
