Has anyone made a credible argument for why top national leaders should be allowed to stock-pick?

No, but I wouldn't blame the code I used. You need to vet your own deps, especially when creating a product as big as chat GPT.

Exactly, that's only for companies like uber and airbnb who add real value to society, not some losers trying to make books accessible.

PBS and NPR are the same. They are private non-profits whose existence is blessed by Congress and given partial, indirect financial support by government. By contrast, the BBC is full on government agency whose revenue comes from a specific tax.
Not really. I don't have much interest in such labelling and consider it lazy.

However, the OP chose to label an organization "leftist", when I'm fairly sure that the people he would identify as "leftist" would not share the feeling that NPR represents their perspective.

Whether or not NPR represents my viewpoint is not of much concern to me. I don't expect it, if it happens it happens, it probably won't. That's fine.
> BBC are all fairly infamously left-leaning though

Huh? Next you'll be saying the Tories are left-leaning :)
I think you missed the point.

It's overly wordly but it's basically saying "water is so cheap that the private market as no incentive to invest it in to improve the efficiency of its use"

Same argument people make about fossil fuels - it's so cheap (often due to subsidies) that the private sector doesn't invest in alternative)
Er, chilling, or shilling?
>>>Yet public ownership undervalues water, in that one person’s access does not limit another

Chile's private water rights management does not undervalue water. In fact they value it so much that a new class of professional developed : water real estate brokers.

Private leasing of public lands to the highest bidder is an interesting use case that does not get much attention

Well, for me getting started it was Zilog (but the Z80 was based on the Intel 8080), Mostech and Motorola. But Intel had a big input too, and of course an overwhelming influence with the 8086.

I was also confused by this. Stripe (as do many other services) allows multiple individual accounts with unique credentials to access the same "parent" account or service. If these guys were sharing a single account, I have to question how they ever got into YC, as that isn't remotely tech savy. (Yes, some service make credential sharing an unfortunate inconvenient and insecure reality – but not Stripe.)
Having a fixed day off allows people to plan leisure activities with friends and family as it was guaranteed they too would also have the day off.
So what is happening to TripleByte? The website says "While Triplebyte is saying goodbye…the mission to transform technical hiring continues at Karat". So it seems like Karat is just squashing a competitor to their own business model, and doesn't intend to integrate triplebyte's features into Karat.
They got to this level of progress with maybe a million users input and feed back. Now they will have 1000s of plugins feeding them with high quality structured data and 100s of millions of users feeding it. They are also going multi modal and have billions in capital to expand the size and scale of the network. The probability that this is peak gpt seems very unlikely. I expect they will have a post grad level of intelligence gpt across the board in less than 5 years.

No white collar job will be valued the same since GPT will basically be doing most of the work and we will maybe review it and steer it. We will just keep feeding it and it will know everything at the cutting edge of all fields.

In my experience it is not surprising at all. Without a vocal and engaging security advocate and a shared belief in the sensitive nature of the company's data and processes - all devices in the employee's possession are insecure.

If you think with a security mindset you probably work in security.
My money still seems to work great. Those are some serious fiscal and social (but not monetary) issues that should be taken up with Congress not the Fed, and not the FDIC. Who handled this all very well I might add.

> Median savings is $4500.

The average American family has a $748,000 net worth, according to Federal Reserve data, median $121,000. Savings isn't just what's in your 'savings' account. Mine definitely isn't.

Money is a medium of exchange and unit of account. It's not a tool for building wealth, and it's not a long-term store of value. It never was. They shouldn't have money in the bank, they should have it productively invested.

Citing the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact indicates you have no understanding of the political organization of the United States of America.

OpenAI could have simply named the library up front instead of stressing that it is open source. This would have alerted people who use the library while at the same time avoiding the suggestion that it being open source was part of the problem.
I'm sure you're not the target audience of TikTok (which is probably a good thing).

Yeah, and that little inconvenience is day and night. That's why TikTok got popular at the first place. Convenience. Pepople can always record videos and share them to others since digital camera is a thing.
Sunday blue laws were NEVER about labor protections.
High wage employees have leverage, and can afford to quit. They are less pushed into the position "we're allowed to open on Sunday so you're working Sundays now".

Thoughts?
> It's so incredibly rude

Rudeness is subjective and based on implied social agreements that a) change, and b) are not as universal as they are assumed to be.

Based on my personal experience I can agree that if someone uses their phone in a gathering of people it can disconnect them from those people, and that some people see “choosing to disconnect” as disrespectful, but I think that to unilaterally call that disconnection rude is to ignore the world we’re currently living in as well as the legitimate chance that those people are addicted beyond their control.
I sat down to write a blog series, a deep dive into configuration of our product at a previous job, and I was amazed at how quickly it exposed the parts of our software that I thought I understood but clearly didn't.

As soon as I switched to passive tense, or my brain started to hand wave over something, I knew I'd hit a weak point.

And perhaps unsurprisingly, when I'd check with the engineers, as often as not I'd get the same response: "Huh, I'm not sure either."

I've never found an equivalent tool for identifying my weaknesses. In a conversation I can bluff my way through something and rationalize it to myself or others as "I don't have all the details at hand but I'm sure I understand it"; when writing, I don't have that same luxury.
And rain is wet... I wonder why IA thought doing something obviously illegal would have any other outcome.
OpenAI should sell a feed of AI generated responses for search engines to consume and flag AI generated content.

In fairness, I don't think the Russia-Ukraine war is the best example. Eg, it is obvious that the BBC's reporting [0] is truthful but not neutral - it only quotes from Ukranians. But people don't generally want or ask neutral reporting on the Ukraine war, I expect if there was a poll it would show people wanted pro-Ukraine reporting.

Neutrality could be made into a reasonably objective standard - on any controversy, report the viewpoints of the top 3-4 groups involved in their own voice and then throw in the opinion of any academics who've made a point of studying similar situations. That is close enough to be called 'neutral'.

It's just the opposite of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commodification - that simple.
I hate the implication of coordination.

I think it's more likely that every person at every link in the chain is following some incentive: financial experts within banks are saying whatever they think will get governments to stop putting up interest rates (we're in a banking crisis), journalists are repeating interesting and dramatic news from their sources (that we're in a banking crisis), their editors are careful not to block an important message (that we're in a banking crisis), and so on.

The net effect is possibly going to be moving wealth to the top, but if you take a conspiratorial view, the solution seems like it's "find the shadowy council working behind the scenes and force them to stop". If it's just distributed rational decision-making you have to take a systems-level view of what the incentives are and work to change the overall behaviour of everyone, which is a much more complicated problem.
This audio piece explains the NPR/affiliate model pretty well. PBS is mostly the same.

Only difference is that as of a few months ago, NPR began accepting direct donations for the first time. I think they will send some of that donation to affiliates as well.
I have to agree with tile and the OP. Even if you have a dedicated formal writer for writing formal documents like briefs or proposals, every engineer should be decent at writing. Especially now that more and more communication is asynchronous.

I've worked with many engineers who couldn't write, and it always came across in the aspects of the work mentioned in the thread — less ability to parse error messages, to describe things to others over email/Slack/comments, and most critically, to understand things that others wrote. Fundamentally, a huge amount of engineering is reading and writing. And I find those skills are very often linked.
Money started out fictional, we're just taking our sweet time mentally recovering from around a millennia of thinking metal and money are the same thing.

Turns out, the real nature of money is debt. And debt is just a relation between people, so there's no natural limit to it, other than confidence.
>It's sad because it has muddied the image of IA and it made them look like rebels

Considering their software archive is one of the easiest source of warez today, I'd say they have a thing for painting targets on themselves.
I am guessing more competition is always good? In a few years, they will catch up with the Samsung/TSMC and hopefully, and we will start seeing price reductions. I think it would be even more useful to provide more competition to GPU/NN-accelerator market.
> Americans don’t even have money in the bank. Median savings is $4500.

But M1 is about three times M0; the difference, about $12T, comes to about $400K per American, so some Americans do have significant money in the bank.

My experience is that this is a lost cause. AirBnB will always favor the host guilty or not. They provide no support for the end user.

Everyone hates AirBnB now. The only problem is there is no sensible replacement available for it. Anything that claims so is 2x more expensive. Otherwise, for short stays (2-5 days and unless you are a family) a hotel is cheaper now.

What you can do is, in the future, replace your credit card with some dumb Debit Card. And pay with Apple Pay.
I think it's possible LLVM-MOS gets into mainline LLVM eventually. The devs have done a good job getting all the kinks ironed out.

BTW, mysterymath, one of the most prominent LLVM-MOS contributors, left this comment on their current code gen. (I'm posting it here for visibility):

"In LLVM-MOS, we mainly struggle with its register allocator; the rest of the backend is really quite reasonable.
The "Greedy register allocator" in LLVM is a just finely tuned priority allocator with nice live-range splitting. It works great for zero page cache locations, but it's just not tuned very well for tight register classes like those involving the processor's three architectural registers. I've half a mind to implement Hack's SSA-based register allocator in LLVM to use on A, X, and Y; this would clean up the oodles of spurious copies LLVM-MOS spits out in the worst cases."
But I thought TikTok is an US company now? Didn't they launch a new company, which is separate from Chinese TikTok, in the US, to avoid this exact situation? Am I conflating things?

Smaller transistors is one way to get more transistors per chip. Chips could also get bigger, or the transistors could be packed in more densely (my VLSI is rusty, but not all transistors are minimally sized; a wider transistor can be used to push more power for example).

Sort of. I listen to NPR nearly every day, and it's difficult to do so. Lots, and lots, and lots of of the same theme...women, women of color, LGBTQ. They pound the same narrative into your head constantly.

I'm all for human rights. I listen to NPR because they report on human rights. But FFS, I'm always left cringing and thinking "does the audience really demand this level of progressivism?"

It's so bad now that I can't trust them to report objectively.

Wanna solve your money problems? Spin up a conservative arm and let it rip. With the same journalistic standards of course.

NPR and the News Hour, it is hard to take them seriously anymore, and I run a household of people who feel strongly about the environment, human rights and worker rights. Some of us are women, LGBTQ and we have friends who are people of color.

That waa me. My 6502 "IDE" was a BBC Micro, with it's excellent BBC BASIC ROM that had inline 6502 assembler built-in to the BASIC language.

It was so good and accessible, and documented in the Advanced User Guide, that after learning BASIC starting age 10, I learned 6502 a few months later and was able to reverse engineer and modify other people's games not long after that.

I had the luxury of floppy drives which my contemporaries did not have

The floppies helped immensely with self-hosted development of larger programs. Imagine losing all your assembler work due to a crash running it because it was tempting to skip rhe time of several minutes saving to tape. Floppies were reasonably fast for saving before running things, but few people I knew had them.

It also gained a Z80 second processor (an add-on; and later a 68000), so rhe Z80 helped with development of 6502 code, as a RAM disk and editing scratchpad that survived 6502 crashes. And for running Wordstar, which was a decent editor.

Eventually I had someone else's ZX Spectrum hooked up to the BBC with a kind of home-made bit-banging serial port. That's when things started getting fancy, as my BBC's Z80 second processor's flavour of BBC BASIC could assemble Z80 code for the Spectrum, and run some Z80 binaries from other people's Spectrum software, with the BBC's 6502 providing display and sound emulation.
C-SPAN has a podcast of their program "Q&A".
