As far as I'm concerned, media, _in general_, can burn.

I visited my daughter at the hospital yesterday and her roommate's TV was tuned to a 24/24 news channel that seemed entirely focused on countering Russian disinformation and propaganda with… their local variants. The excitement of all those talking heads at the prospect of a nuclear arm wrestling was palpable. An interesting contrast with their audience's general inability to do anything constructive with all that "information".
Reminds me of the pico editor -- pico means penis in some Spanish-speaking countries (it also means beak, FWTW). I remember contacting that project to let them know, I guess they thought it would be alright.
This is so cool and way cooler than my tool!! I chose JSON because it was the easiest option. And also because it is the format I wanted to support first, but mostly because it was the easiest.
What is left of "this bank" if it is owned by another bank? My understanding is that the shareholders were wiped out and the senior management will be different.

I am not at SVB but was considering whether it might make sense to have a second account there, for FDIC-spreading purposes. I have the same knee-jerk reaction as many people, but on second thought I wonder if this is irrational.
Again, only 3% of all deaths are from overdoses. If you assume that all of them lived to 77 instead of 44, that would make a difference of about 1 year in total life expectancy.
I feel like the silly factor in reading phrases like 'abstract century' would be a problem if you are reading them or listening to them all day. Like a kind of having abstract poetry foisted on you. Then also take into account the amount of people in the gig-delivery / restaurant business for whom English is not a first language, and may not have matching understandings of letter sound equivalencies, it might be a bit uncomfortable.

> Hazarding a guess: the 'really dumb thing' is portraying democratic government as a distinct, foreign, hostile, and alien entity that any sane and morally upstanding person would minimize their interaction with, barely giving theirs 'unto Caesar' and getting away as quickly as possible.

That's not how I portrayed it. What I portrayed is the reality of how people and organizations operate within society. It's quite telling that some people are too fragile to hear even a tiny bit of criticism or slightly different perspective about their God, the government.

> It teaches and reinforces apathy and learned helplessness when it comes to effecting change on matters of public policy. Ultimately, it's a self-fulfilling prophecy.

No it doesn't, subservience and dependence on the government and viewing them as "the experts", the moral authority, to be implicitly trusted, and who aim primarily to serve others above themselves, is what reinforces apathy and helplessness and dependency.

Look at all the wars America and "the west" at large has got into, because all "the experts" said we had to go to war, and you were a traitor, an expert-denier, "against us", etc., if you disagreed. The same exact strategy and rhetoric is used everywhere once you see it. Enemies are created, division is sown, critics are denounced... A little bit less blind faith and trust in government and their alleged "experts", and a bit more rational thinking and questioning would have gone a long way on many occasions. That is the dangerous apathy and faith in government that has quite literally caused the loss of millions of lives and trillions of dollars since WWII.

It's funny, I get a lot of this kind of pushback from people, with my simple observations of reality. Most of it seems to come from the same people who will simultaneously go on endlessly about how corrupt the government is, how much it spends on war, how racist and bigoted it is, how subservient to corporations and lobbyists, how it doesn't provide good healthcare, its police forces are brutal and unjust, justice system provides favorable outcomes for the wealthy, it doesn't do enough to solve climate change, doesn't make billionaires and corporations pay enough tax, etc.

... And yet when I point out the obvious, gee maybe that's because the government care more about themselves than they care about you, these same people suddenly lose their minds.

And I'll bet dollars to donuts I know where you and OP and anybody who criticizes me for making that comment generally on most of those above issues.

The thing about the sad truth versus a happy lie is that the sad truth doesn't prevent you from taking any action, participating in the system, trying to improve it or make it work for you. It's actually the happy lie that does that. Sure there are those who will become paralyzed with terror at the idea that the authority they are subservient to and essentially worship is not completely good and moral, but those people weren't going to change anything anyway.

> taxis --> uber --> (it's only a matter of time)

The issue with that is Uber brought unlicensed taxis to a lot of places that didn't have usable service levels from licensed taxis. I'd rather have a licensed taxi, but having a taxi at all is better than nothing.

I think that's a lot different than modern finance and hotels which basically work for the most part.
I held the same belief until I made the switch. First on my work laptop, then at some point I realized I'm not using my Windows machine at all, now I only have Windows VMs for the rare occasion that I need to run something on it.

If you want an actual startup-oriented bank that has their shit together (e.g. they employ sweep accounts and by default you have $5M of FDIC insurance), mercury.com has been excellent. Great tech, great UI/UX, great app, transfers are free (ach, check, domestic and intl wires), instant virtual cards, physical if you need it, finely-grained spending limits, etc. They're awesome.
I'm, for example, even not considering Amazon/Google/Facebook now. Job switch is quite stressful. There is no point without stability or fat paycheck. And looks like personal level doesn't matter much when the whole team is terminated.

> Hadn't seen Windows 11

Win 10, 11, iOS (at least 16), Android are not GUIs. They are (the worst) UX. /s
I’m working with a large js code base right now and can’t get it ported to typescript fast enough.
I haven’t read the post.

Don’t tell me, it’s to “protect the children”, the excuse under which all draconian citizen monitoring laws are introduced.
It's simple. Once there are enough sovereign citizens, they can band together and form an agreement to work together for mutual protection. They will probably need to lay out at a minimum what is unacceptable for their group and steer towards common ground. I'm not sure what they should call this group. Since they are steering and Latin is popular for naming things how about we call it something like gubernare? I guess that sounds a bit old fashioned. Maybe French would help? Gouvernement? No sounds too fancy. Government? PERFECT! Let's call it that.
Colonization of the Asteroid Belt
This was exactly what I always had in mind when thinking about the new possibilities with AI!

I knew that Blender has the possibility to script and access all the UI elements with python. So it was only a matter of time :)
Which is perfectly fine, when considered in the context of other words like “giant” and “geranium.”
I’ve given up on a one computer solution. I am currently on multiple computers. One thinkpad and an old dell optiplex run Fedora. Main desktop runs Windows. I can still ssh into my old dell optiplex from my windows desktop with its nice windows 11 power shell terminal. I can switch over to my thinkpad t490s and use Fedora with gnome (and still ssh into my dell optiplex because all of them are on the same home Internet connection and router (and same switch other than the thinkpad).

One thing I’ve noticed is remmina isn’t quite the same as mstsc windows Remote Desktop but I think it is high praise that I could even get to the point of someday expecting it…
True, but by then the damage was already done; as far as the software development community and tech-savvy public was concerned, per the beta releases, Windows 3.1 didn't run on DR-DOS. This hugely harmed sales, which is much of the reason why Microsoft eventually had to pay Caldera (the new owners) $280 million in a settlement.
idk, i think 'tomshardware.com' needs a reality check. there's like 100 disgusting taboola and google ads on their own website that look identical to these awful microsoft ads. its hard to take a rant about trashy ads seriously coming from a page that is littered with them.
For the first link I think it’s pretty bad as-is, but would be much better if you distinguished the new “more” items in some way. Eg different colored text (and make the “more” button match that formatting). That way you don’t need to re-scan every single option to find what’s changed, and keeps the visual shape of the sections of existing text there. I am also baffled by the menu hiding. But I think the other two examples are pretty nice.

Hell of an assumption, central north american hand egg is largely constrained to its parish north of Mexico | south of Canada in an area that barely cracks 330 million.

All the information needed to derive the # as well as why its provisional and they can't provide a "Jupyter notebook, etc." right now is right there, in the article.
It could when I tested 1 week after the first version of chatGPT was in private beta. It's always been able to convert base64 both ways.

It sometimes gets some of the conversion wrong or converts a related word instead of the word you actually asked it to convert. This strongly suggests that it's the actual LLM doing the conversion (and there's no reason to believe it wouldn't be).

This behavior will likely be replicated in open source LLMs soon.
The correlation between "value provided to the company" and "salary paid to retain a worker" is much lower than you might believe.

Also, critical parts of employee retention include "keep the worker alive" and "keep the worker satisfied". If housing goes up 20%, the wage better increase by 20% as well. Homeless or unstably housed engineers are not productive engineers.
OK, pretend that I edited my comment to say "batch export notes with full fidelity". Happy?
Go lang is just a different class of languages. One picks rust or Haskell or standard ML due to an expressive type system whereas Go features a simple type system
Extending on impedance of objects and data, and validated request data being different from models, imagine this pseudo-code:

function action_endpoint():

if request.is_valid():

data = request.to_data_object(data_object_class)

self.service.update(data)

return success()

return request.errors()

in this simple example, the internal data representation isn't using a full-blown object, but a "data object" (ex. a dataclass). There are no transitive database dependencies, it behaves just like a fancy dict. When including data_object_class, I'm not including the whole database driver. When passing this to other system components, this can be serialized & de-serialized because it has no intrinsic behavior implemented.
As such, when using architectural patterns like three-tier design or hexagonal design, you can pass data between layers without any "external"(from a data perspective) dependency; this allows the frontend to be completely agnostic on where & how data is stored. In fact, in this example, self.service could be an RPC proxy object to another subsystem, in a different server. The advantage of this design becomes quite apparent when you need to decouple how data is stored from how data is processed - you start designing your application in a service-oriented approach, instead of a model-oriented approach.

In fact, one could just create an endpoint processor that receives a table name, and infers the rest of the logic in the middle (the request validation, the data object, the glue service for database), that today can write to a database, and tomorrow just calls an api without rebuilding your application.
Who actually chooses to use RHEL on a desktop, rather than only using it because work doesn't allow any other distro?

>There's a lot of sponsor money involved, big organizations with multiple teams for different games traveling to large events.

Just because there is a lot of money moving around it doesn't mean it's profitable in general.

>Doesn't sound like they are all doing it for the love of the game.

Doing it in hopes of making a return on investment doesn't guarantee you will be profitable.

>There's single teams that are valued > $500m

A lot of those numbers are inflated. As the sister comments mention look at what happened to faze.
MSN also needs to actually moderate their comment sections. Too many tinfoil hats, trolls and far right extremists on the German version.
The FAQ says:

> All transferred deposits will be separately insured from any accounts you may already have at First–Citizens Bank & Trust Company for at least six months after the failure of Silicon Valley Bank.

That suggests that there is not going to be a reduction in coverage of FDIC insurance.

Separately the Federal Reserve’s lending facility makes it unlikely that the same sort of long-duration treasury notes will bring down a bank.

But yeah, it’s a good point that they did not explicitly spell out what sort of insurance is available for the transferred deposits.

> Whoa. Even though I'm a Latino, I've never been offended or felt discriminated against while living in the USA these last 20 years.

I am glad that you have not been offended or discriminated on the basis of race, ethnicity or national origin in 20 years. That sounds amazing and I hope that trend extends further into the future. The sad part is that it is irrelevant in this context. You could be an elf immigrant living in Mordor and that would have absolutely no relation to this whatsoever.

I am sorry to inform you that "copperx" is also a pseudonym and that the coward designation you have so eagerly used to refer to me, would also apply to you as well if we follow your logic.
gpt data flywheel tool for generating unlimited data
No. But with the caveat that it can only truly grasp things that are self contained systems of text. Allow me to give examples:

Transit wayfinding: A train service is nothing more than a list of stations it goes to, a station is nothing more than a list of train services that stop there. Nothing about the physical nature of trains or commuting is needed to have a discussion about train lines or to answer questions like "how many transfers does it take from x to y?". You could never have seen a train in your life or even a map of a train, if you've studied the dual lists of stations and services there's nothing more to learn.

Chess (and other board games): Standard Chess notation is a list of sequential move made by each player in the format [piece name][x coordinate][y coordinate]. Eg RB6 represents moving the Rook to column B row 6. Chess can be understood entirely in terms of a game of passing a paper back and forth, appending a new token each time, and the rules of the game expressed entirely in terms of how the next token must match the previous part of the list. At no point is it needed to have actually seen the physical board based representation of the game.

The machine is grounded in a text based existence. Conversational and linguistic objects are its literal physical objects. Anything outside of that, well it can understand lions and "large" the same we understand atoms and "eigen-states".

Experience may ground language, but you are free to ground language in a different reality with different basic constituents and relations. If AGI were to emerge out of trading bots, they would have a language grounded in money and trades. If it emerged out of a bot made to play Diplomacy, it would be a consciousness with the body of a nation state and the atoms of its world would be bits of plastic on a map of Europe. Grounding in our particular reality isn't strictly necessary, but it is helpful if the goal is to make something adept at the modalities of our particular existence and conversational form.
If we ignore the content associated with them, 4chan and other imageboards are actually a nice low-speed format for casual online interaction: the content is divided into threads, the board catalog can only hold some amount of active threads, threads have a finite lifespan measured by post count, threads are auto-pruned after a while, there's no secret sauce algorithm to game your attention span (catalog has simple rules for sorting by thread activity and such), visual content is limited, etc.
For what I was getting at - doesn't matter if it is soccer or "el futbol Americano". It's all the same point.

But for the record, American Football is fine. It's the lionization of players which is the most problematic.

In the US, that is an issue that exists across many sports in any case, but the most pronounced is Football (wtf is with Americans and sports anyhow?).
I think the Occam's razor hypothesis is the stated one: economy looking cloudy, money getting more expensive. However, I'm certain LLMs are part of it as well - when you are the one writing the cheques you certainly do want to believe in a future where no more cheques need to be written while maintaining the same revenue.

I suspect it is more likely that the benefits will accrue to start ups as they will not have so much inertia working against them in terms of leveraging AI. People with ideas and limited means will likely be the primary benefactors due to AI amplification I think.
One has reason to expect ads on a website, but not on their OS.
Yes and no. Sports with young kids typically don't get too intense outside of the occasional psycho coach or parent. American football in particular of course does have a nasty CTE/TBI hazard by nature—which IMHO should render it off-limits to minors.

For collegiate sports—which is a meat grinder of hopes and dreams unto itself—most athletes figure out pretty quick whether they're making it in the big leagues or not. There's an expiry there just by virtue of the way the human body works. I suppose it's still possible to ruin your life trying, but least you come out of it with excellent physical fitness (brain injuries aside), and having not stared at a screen the entire time.

I finally made the switch to Ubuntu Mate on Friday and WOW, color me impressed!

The only reason I stuck with Windows on my desktop machine for so long was gaming, and the last time I tried switching over was 10 years ago. Spoiler: it was a shitshow.

This time, things are MUCH better! The Mate desktop environment is simple, stable, clean, does the job and gets out of your way (kinda reminds me of Windows 2000). Steam's Proton makes running games a breeze. All of my favorites just work. I could even run battle.net as a non-steam game, USING Steam's Proton!

And the kicker? Blizzard's recently opened beta of Diablo 4 just worked. As in, I clicked install, clicked play, and it just worked. Perfectly. As if I were still running under Windows. I've never before seen such sorcery.

So bye bye Windows, except when I'm running one as a VM.
Try watching the remarkable machinations of genius-level chess players like GM Hikaru for a more familiar grounding.

I think capitalism might take care of this. Let's say we have tools that make devs 10x more productive. A company could lay off 90% of their engineers and produce as much as they did before generative AI. What if their competitor decides they're going to retain all of their engineers and produce 10x more than they did before? That's going to force everyone to staff up to be able to keep up with the 10x company.

By the same logic a white person could claim they were actually black. The reality is there is far more genetic distance between a male and female than between races.

Yet, anyone who did such a thing would be seriously problematic. It is equally problematic for a man to claim he is woman by exactly the same logic as the oppression against women cannot fairly be appropriated by men.

Men have been screwing over women for thousands of years. It's not ok for them to appropriate their name and identity because of some qualitative feeling they're experiencing. It's not ok.
