Right now the first headline on NPR.org is “ What a House GOP messaging bill could spell for 2024 culture war campaign”

This is a headline that passes judgement and takes a side, out is also a call to fear and anger. Of course not in an extremely explicit way, but it’s still obvious whose side NPR is on.

It’s ok for news to pick sides sometimes when things are obvious but I want my news more facts biased with less editorializing, especially when it comes to politics.
Maybe talk to locals? Look at local ads. Maybe it is a good thing in a way. Would make travelling more esoteric and less like ordering a latte
The hardware does not seem to be mainline supported, which means that you are at the mercy of a vendor.

In other words, when they say "Ubuntu, Debian, Android, and Armbian" they don't actually mean you can run any future version of it, like you could for Raspberry Pi or x86 hardware. Instead, what they mean is: "We took a latest version of Debian/Ubuntu/Android/etc... and applied some patches to it to make it work on our board. But hey, it works today, and would maybe work next year too! And if you complain super hard we can fix some kernel bugs but no promises!"

This lack of support is a big reason to stay away from less famous SBCs.. Sometimes all you want is to make a project and forget about it, and that maybe fine. But if you want something to base multiple projects on, keep to stuff with mainlined kernels.
Seems to not be working already.

One twist is that phone/tablet SoCs use different I/O protocols than PCs. For example, phones use MIPI-DSI for display and UFS for storage but computers use HDMI/DisplayPort and SATA/NVMe. So you can't take e.g. an awesome Dimensity SoC and put it on a usable SBC; the ports would be all wrong.

There are a few SoCs being targeted at Chromebooks that have PC I/O, including the RK3588 used in the Orange Pi, which makes them also suitable for SBCs.
you're wrong it can be extremely useful
Same. It seems similar to Copilot in that regard, but better at text-to-code, porting between languages or frameworks, and generating test cases and readmes: https://notes.osteele.com/gpt-experiments/using-chatgpt-to-p...
That's a good point. The junkie-looking guy (at least from the press photo) may have known as much or found out later, and still managed to sell it. I guess making $40-50 is enough for the risk for these people.

The police found caught him in-the-act with a backpack full of stuff from a house down the street so he's certainly getting punished. The funny part is the police saw him before he entered the house but decided it was worth waiting until he left to get proper evidence.

I was home at the time sleeping and so was allegedly the last family he burglarized. Which makes it feel creepier.

Generally rewriting emails for clarity... but I found another neat use of GPT-4.

For public APIs, I ask to make sure its aware of the api. Then I ask for endpoints. I find the endpoint I want. Then I ask it to code a request to the endpoint in language X (Ruby, Python, Elixir). It then gives me a starting point to jump off from.

Thirty seconds of prompt writing saves me about 20 minutes of getting setup. Yes, I have to edit it but generally it is pretty close.
I have yet to see a convincing hypothetical where an ai could destroy the human race. Assuming you were a perfect intelligence with instant admin access to every computer connected to the internet (which is already a leap) could you destroy the human race? How would you? I don’t think you can, unless you get very hare brained about human manipulation and crashing economies and even then not human extinction level.

Also when people talk about AI at the end of the day it’s kind of limited by human tech and the internet. Tech is big the entire fucking ecology of earth is bigger. Ecological collapse to me seems worse than any kinda technological collapse of a rogue ai.

Also any situation where an ai could do something a human organization or government body could do it sooner and with a more deliberate malicious intent
I use it to write tons of boilerplate code in random flavour of the week languages I am dealing with at work or on hobby projects. e.g. nginx/ansible/powershell/golang etc.. weird codebases your thrown back into a few years later. I know what I want, I just forget the exact syntax of how to get it done. Sometimes its wrong and I have to correct it, but half of the battle is knowing when its bullshitting.
I ask it for functions in Google Sheets and it gives me the perfect thing I never would have come up with myself, sometimes functions a mile long. I also explained the Maps for Sheets and GPT for Sheets extensions, and it is a master of both.

I'm pretty sure Google/Apple OS boot locks are not simply geo-locked by mobile service vendors, so even in Africa it would be pretty limited in value for any modern phone. This happens when you start up the phone and it requires auth via the existing password and/or login to a Google/Apple account to deauth it from the primary account. Even after attempting to reinstall an ASOP boot OS on Android this will happen.

That wasn't always the case though and thieves may not realize that.

But otherwise for some reason I didn't consider selling it for parts to one of those tiny cellphone chop-shops. I assumed since it was a valuable iPhone it was ultimately mostly useless to them as a non-operational phone, but I guess $20-100 for parts is more than enough.

The software license.
Stealing physical books deprives the owner their right to the book.
Copying a digital book only "deprives" the "owner" a right to control its distribution. It's not nearly the same thing. Whereas ownership of physical items is permanent to ensure society would function, the right to control distribution is a concession we make to authors to allow them to make a profit. In our era, this is so ridiculously abused that it is fine to take back some of it. For example, the author should be entitled to the right of controlling copying if he action intends to distribute copies. If book is out of print because the author decides it is not profitable, then the right should go back to us.
Yeah sure. Every time I listen to "The Indicator" or "Planet Money" or "Throughline" I'm just thinking to myself wow, this is some hardcore left wing propaga;..

"Intellectual property is an unnatural, made up construct"

I find GPT very helpful for trying to understand the rationale behind decisions from a bit outside my field. These are cases that probably don't take any great insight for a practitioner, but which can be hard to arrive at for an outsider.

It's a solo project, CRUD stuff, but having used pretty much all JavaScript/TypeScript ORMs in existence, I can say that Prisma is way ahead of the competition. I would personally recommend it. A traditionally cumbersome and annoying thing about trying a new ORM is that you basically have to re-learn a pseudolanguage for building SQL queries but that hasn't been an issue this time, thanks to ChatGPT. So overall, happy with Prisma and plan to keep using it.
I'm not sure there's a correlation between austistic people and (lack of) ability to write "clearly, logically, and succinctly." I think there's a variation of skill there among all people.

At the risk of a duplicative "This" comment thank you for a very well thought out, holistic comment.

It's strange. One of the many things I "harp" on here and elsewhere are all of the "Do $THIS on a Raspberry Pi" stories and articles around. What "bothers" me the most are people doing simple GPIO with a Raspberry Pi 4 when an ESP32 (or equivalent) would suffice. Or people trying to stretch a Raspberry Pi to do something an old, used, $100 x86 something would do significantly better in it's sleep. I understand the Raspberry Pi is a common denominator with a rich ecosystem but it still irks me in an irrational way. Don't even get me started on the people trying to build a NAS with a Raspberry Pi.. It's just wrong.

Getting on to to your comment - I have an entire graveyard of ARM SBCs (and more) that are incredibly poorly supported either by the vendor, Armbian, mainline, etc. I'm over getting excited by the latest "More performant, newer, better, faster" ARM SBC of the moment - only to burn incredible amounts of time getting it to do what a Pi or x86 something would do at a cost/performance/power trade-off.
> since a verbatim copy isn't transformative at all

It's not a verbatim copy; the argument specifically involved converting content from one format (physical book) to another (ebook).

Good luck outspending the big publishers. How many people who work for a living does it take to match Disney's capacity to bribe Congresscritters?
It’s been really helpful for picking up a new programming language. Particularly around helping me understand conventions in a language I’m not familiar with.

GPT-4 has been great at breaking down complex regexes that I am too lazy to parse out in the moment.

I’m also finding it helpful as a creative partner on naming things. Something I feel like I spend a lot of time noodling on. Like: creative names for a data warehouse that are surfing related (BoardRoomData lol).
And I imagine even the glimpse would cause a lot of venture capital to be flowing into AI... and also government/military funds.
I use it to give me the perfect functions for any task I can dream up in Google Sheets. Some conplex functions seem like a novel I never would have made, but it works very well so quickly and when it errors, it nearly always can debug. It understands the Maps for Sheets extension well and I'm trying to teach it to master GPT for Sheets.
Ok, this one is “interesting”: podman-compose have a dev brach that has some lots of things addressed, but they don’t have any recent tags and it’s not clear if they are going too. There is an issue somewhere, alluding that development is stalled because k8s is the way or similar thing.

Debian recently packaged 1.0.3 that is also old.
At defcon? Seems like a place that will test your security.
Is a 30 year fixed mortgage common where you are? I'm Australia and they don't exist. About 25% of people have fixed mortgages and this is usually for 2-3 years so this view doesn't apply here.

Also regarding job hopping, that may be true but taking a macro view of the world, most people don't or can't job hop that often, so I feel this is more the exception that the rule.

Generally I'm not convinced debt is a good thing during inflation as a broad rule. I feel it's more there are good exceptions if the right conditions align but this is not true to the average.
RIP. Nothing more to add.
My big question is, are people at OpenAI actively using GPT as part of their work? Are they getting a productivity boost because of it?

You had me, lost me. That's just pretentious.

I know this rule, I was mostly commenting on the bizarre writing style. The article is aimless and nebulous to whatever point they're making. The ad was just the nail in the coffin.

Their money is being used to make investments and they're getting paid interest for it. If their deposit was above the amount insured by the FDIC then they knew it could all be lost if the bank collapsed.
I wouldn't call lending more than 250k to a bank "cautious" (that's what you do when you "deposit" your money in a bank), they could have bought Treasury bonds instead.
But maybe they were smart and had guessed that in this third world financial system, if your bank is too big to fail, depositors get bailed out by the government anyway.

Probably depends where but everywhere I have been, just walking into a small hotel and doing a deal with the owner was almost always cheaper than any airbnb around given similar quality/size (and includes breakfast usually and of course cleaning daily; in Thailand they even threw in laundry once a week).

And yes, indeed talk with locals if no hotels: I stayed for cheap/free for months with locals who were just lonely.
Weird how this works sometimes… I was just at the Monterey Bay Aquarium for the first time today, saw the name on the auditorium and thought “that Gordon (and Betty) Moore?”

I've been using it as an aid in my writing process. Essentially, I can now pour my thoughts onto paper, complete with errors and poor word choices. With just a click, GPT transforms it into a presentable version.

Basically I created a small app to streamline the workflow.

Hard disagree on the colorization bit. I don’t see how color would improve some thing like Psycho or Citizen Kane
Format shifting can either be a verbatim copy (as it was in this case), or also involve editing (which this case did not.)

Personal-use format shifting has sometimes been found to be fair use; but this is not that.

Don’t have to bribe if you have enough people convincingly committed to vote on the issue.

The US initially ruled Japan's economy via leftist academics. The economy remained flat, until the leftists were removed and the free market was allowed to revive.

Yes, the US administered Japan for a while, and along with the USSR, GB and F administered Germany. I don't know at what point they turned it over to the Germans, but Germany's government was a free market one until 1970, when they took a sharp left turn.

The more recent attempts by the US to administer Iraq and Afghanistan were total failures. It would be interesting to see why those failed and the Japanese/German occupations were successful.

(Of course I know that the USSR didn't turn over the Soviet sector until 1989.)
> what you can't do is make a copy that you give to someone else while simultaneously retaining access to the original (or another copy).

I’m pretty sure I can do that.

> the way libraries work is by relinquishing posession

I almost included that I could shred my copy, keeping only the digital equivalent, and still retain the same rights to the work and lending it.

Any individual in IA’s position could do this without fear of legal scrutiny. An organization doing it is under scrutiny not because there’s actual, meaningful copyright violation happening but because they systemized a thing no reasonable person would object to individuals doing.
And the government isn't typically involved in air distribution.
Yeah it can reserve specific ZP addresses. I do this to implement the runtime. It can also be used to reserve hardware registers, but since my only target is the NES, I don't have to worry about that.
I've mostly been using it to write shell scripts, or to answer specific/hard to Google questions about various libraries/tools.

Sometimes I use it to help me come up with names for projects/classes, sometimes I use it for debugging help (X doesn't work, why not?)

I think I could get a lot more out of it if I was more creative. It's an incredibly valuable tool already (on a similar level as intellij for me)
The grubby hands of the state?
You’re assuming they don’t agree with the hypothetical you suggest. These sort of people back then would have unequivocally supported her arrest and persecution. They defend the status quo and not much else. After all the status quo likely led to their own prosperity. I can only assume these sort people would have attempted to condemn something like the French resistance since it was “against the law” as long as they they benefited from occupation.
Yeah I definitely want to leave Washington state if they continue down this road.

For a time the state was socially liberal but still pretty business and tax friendly but there are too many greedy people who want to get their hands on that wealth entrepreneurs are creating.

And to build schools!? I already private tuition and our school could stand for some improvements, and our teachers deserve a bump in salary, but no we’re going to go tear down some perfectly usable elementary school to make a new more environmentally friendly one.

The money from this tax will only fatten the pockets of the bureaucrats, and will do little to nothing for the average person.

Yeah, there was a liquid market for it, but not for par value. No one wants to buy securities yielding ~1% when there's ample supply of safe securities yielding ~4%, so they had to discount them a fair bit to get them to sell. Which is how they lost value.

But it mainly happened fast because once word was out on social media that they were bleeding out, it had stoked depositors to withdraw their deposits.
