Never mind American date format, visualize how something like the democratic congressional hearings on TikTok would appear to a super intelligent alien who just arrived here and hasn't had a chance to get his bearings on human culture.

Or, replace the alien with the founding fathers of this formerly great nation, or replace these hearings with most anything we do.
Well, that can be understood in several ways.
Yes but we can process the shit out of the meat and add msg etc. It doesn't have to be bbq
What do you mean by "wrong?" And why should logic trump practicality? Besides, rightness and wrongness are value judgments. They have nothing to do with logic.

M/D/Y seems to be the most practical because it reflects how dates are spoken in American English. It separates the date (month/day) from the year, which in many cases can be omitted, while also keeping the larger unit, the month, up front.
One natural resource that will never be fought over between Jews and Muslims.
Can't make this shit up.
No I haven't, I wouldn't even know where to start.
I'd much rather have D/M/Y, since then data is ordered by relevance. If I'm seeing a full date, I probably care more about the day than the month, and more about the month than the year. This is just pure bikeshedding tho, both are infinitely better than M/D/Y
In the UK, the main expense is a hire car for several months and legal expenses for when that nice chap you had a slight collision with claims he and all his 4 friends suffered whiplash injuries.

What car you drive and how much it costs to fix are pretty much irrelevant.
Fundamentally irrational market forces, we might add. No person compares spec sheets and chooses the chip with a 10% efficiency advantage but with a rowhammer style vulnerability instead of the 10% less efficient chip without a rowhammer style vulnerability. At least I've never seen "is susceptible to rowhammer" in a spec sheet. So as consumers, we don't really have the choice to select the more expensive or less efficient but more robust chip. Hell, ECC isn't even an option for most classes of CPU.
Apologies, the tone was snarky (I’ve seen many instances where people assume human output will cease in the face of AI generated content).

Yes, as SEO content becomes less valuable, those remaining will be creating for passion, like in the early days of the internet. Purely profit-driven ventures will move on.
It IS dangerous. You must apply critical thinking to what’s in front of you. You can’t blindly believe what this thing generates! Much like heavy machinery, it’s a game changer when used correctly, and likewise it can be extremely damaging if you use it without appropriate care.
I’m American and I have a hard time believing this. Many restaurant menus? Most major grocery stores? I don’t know where you live but this strikes me as bizarre.

While I participated in the Google Code Jam, my favourite was Hash Code - the team programming competition. The problems were more open ended and being able to work with a team was really great fun. Also, much more resembling a real-world practical scenario.

Sad to hear that Google is closing them down, really feels like an end of an era.
Sorry, I should have used something more standard - but it was what I had ready...

If performers touch anything that’s grounded, however, “that would be instant death.”

Doesn't this put a lie to the suggestion by Bradbury that members of the audience, including him, were touched with a sword held by the performer?
Developers aren't using M/D/Y. This is a straw man.

Yes.
At the minimum, chatgpt displays a remarkable ability to maintain a consistent speech throughout a long and complex conversation with a user, taking into account all the internal implicit references.

this to me is the proof it is able to correctly infer meaning, and is clearly a sign of intelligence. (something a drunk human has trouble doing, for example).
I moved to the US from a country using metric system and different formats for things like date and currency. I don't really find the difference important at all and have no trouble switching between units and formats (my job requires me to exchange information with teams in Europe and Canada). I did find that for the sake of avoiding misunderstandings date should always start with the year. It's also good for sorting files and folders. Daylight savings time is the only thing I wish we didn't have in the US.
They actually contacted me based on my Upwork.com profile. At the time, I think I was the top search result for SAT or SAT verbal.
No, that’s not why they lost. The reason is because they effectively lend it to many people simultaneously, and implement no controls on getting it “returned” (deleted) by the people they lent it to, while even being aware that some of them don’t “return” it.

The technicality that they keep a copy of the book while it’s being lent isn’t really at issue here at all. It’s not because there are two copies, it’s because there are three or more copies, given to two or more parties at the same time. It has become “distribution” in the eyes of copyright law, beyond the lending analogy.
Oh, so that’s how a very niche amateur radio-related query can turn up a plausible-looking result in Google on a subdomain of some unrelated, not carefully-tended domain, but actually link to a page of spam.
To play devil's advocate, the American format aligns with how (American's at least) speak the date "March 24th, 2022".

I never get the hand waving types. I think knowing the danger of something is the only bit of knowledge they have on a subject. So prove they understand it they go about lecturing people on how dangerous it is instead of actually understanding the subject. Otherwise they would understand that while dangerous in an uncontrolled environment we understand how to mitigate danger and design/build/use something responsibly. This is why we cant have nice things. Know-it-all danger rangers just ruin it with paranoia and ignorance.

Which of these companies is using open hardware/software in their products? I wish it were true, but somehow I doubt that is going to happen.
It's pretty silly when people complain about different tastes in subjective areas, such as music, architecture, pronunciation, food or other cultural differences. However, when it comes to methods of technical communication such as time formats or measurement units the complaints have little to do with subjective preferences, and more to do with real world consequences of maintaining unintuitive systems. Technical language should be clear, precise and uniform. That's what it's for. Insisting on maintaining different standards causes real headaches for everyone who has to deal with those systems, and sometimes can cause catastrophic errors. It has little to do with preference, and much more to do with practicality.
Mid-30's: I don't carry a cell phone, nor do I use email (unless temporary burners).

Nobody believes me, and even showing them my numeric pager brings doubts.

I had a recent court filing (probate), and it really surprised me when the official public form asks for both phone and email (which I did not list, and the filing still went through). Same with DMV/titling vehicles... why does everything think this is okay [to "require" personal information]?

Just so free not always being reachable.
Yeah, I have no idea whether it's because I'm not American or just a lazy loser or something, but the manic "how do I make more $$$$$$$?!?!" mentality is alien and repulsive to me lol.

I do work because I like it (and, unsurprisingly, the things that are most likeable are the least profitable or practical). And I don't do it at an unsustainable pace, which anything you're trying to profit from inherently demands. And the only way to profit in software is to pin your users down to a table and give them a night of value extraction they'll never forget. You also have to work with cringe technologies, like web tech. Money is the root of all evil to me, and being obsessed with it seems unhealthy af and a disgusting basis for technological curiosity/craft.
I agree with you. Year is least likely to change, then month, so you can pay attention to D, and scan M/Y which I feel takes less attention than other formats

I'd have flagged this rather than responding but am not able to.
Rotating because I don't want to trust digital ocean's engineers or vultr's or any one provider with my keys for longer than a week. The idea being the longer they sit there on a server the admin of the provider could break into, the more likely they are to be stolen. But if I'm constantly creating new VMs and only storing my keys on them for a short time, the harder it is to get them. A big game of trust no one, constantly move everything around, and by the time someone does find one of my servers with a key, it's old and useless.
One of my great joys as a teenager exploring electronics was the opportunity to clean out an old storage closet at some Fermilab facility with a friend. This was in the late 80s, we got several 1950s oscilloscopes and much other gear of similar era.

The room had been overlooked in the usual surplus process for years. My friend was related to someone working for the janitorial services company, and they'd been told to clean that room out and throw the stuff away. So what we got to do was help with that, and put anything we liked in my car instead of the dumpster.

We were stripping stuff there in the parking lot to save space. Crammed that car full of junk. It was a truly wonderful day.

One thing I've come to learn is that American formats are human-friendly rather than machine-friendly.

Our date system is like the Fahrenheit system; it works well when thinking like a human.

in Fahrenheit, you just think of it in terms of 50 being the middle, "not cold and not hot". Then you understand 80 is high warm, closing in on hot, etc.

Similarly for our date system, we lead with names and important information rather than numbers. We're not feeding a number into a machine, we're speaking to humans.

Consider any other Label. You don't say "25th Apartment", you say "Apartment 25", "Unit 25", "P.O. Box 25"

Here we are on March 25. The year comes last because it's least important.

GPT-4 has a model capable of using around 50 pages of written text worth of tokens (32,000) not sure exactly how many lines of code that translates to but it’s a lot. GPT-3 can use 4k so that’s a huge increase, the next version could be even larger and there are other ML techniques that allow for massive context lengths. Copilot already does a good job of refactoring code and knows enough about your code base to use your functions and methods. So what the other commenter said does not sound impossible to me.

Apparently, you disregarded the entire first part of my point which was that they were bombed so heavily that set them back decades. They need outside investment to jump start development. Just like Japan and Germany did after WW2.

You speak as if Thailand and Vietnam didn't hold important geopolitical values that the West and China want to exploit which makes them attractive to investments.

Those same countries still need to court outside investments to build out infrastructure and industries like recent efforts to move manufacturing to southeast Asia.
you can patch all the different places where system assumes it's running against cpt monitor to be size independent, rebuild

you can also get yourself a real window manager, like fvwm has FvwmScroll module, that lets you wrap any oversized x window in a container with scrollbars.

you can patch tv.c on usim side to make window scroll up and down for you as you pan mouse around.

the possibilities are endless.
Developers? Maybe but even if we accept that all developers pay close attention to their date formats to avoid misinterpretation errors, others who produce work within the developers workflow are certainly not doing so.

That's... just not correct. Source: have repaired multiple scratches and dents in a Tesla under insurance coverage without unreasonable costs, much less a total refund.

FWIW: that article isn't about insurance coverage at all, so I don't understand why you're citing it. Tesla licenses auto body shops to do repairs and gives them the needed tools just like every other auto maker. The article is complaining that unlicensed shops don't have the tools, making repairs more expensive. And that's true, as far as it goes, but it's hardly a problem unique to one manufacturer.
I have the same issues with C#. I came up in the days of .net 4.5, in the years since I've watched Microsoft bolt an entire language worth of features on top of C#. I didn't use the language for the last five or so years, and I feel so lost that I avoid using it now.

And that doesn't even begin to touch on the absolute disaster of the net framework/core/standard/mono/uwp runtime situation.

C# as a language just doesn't seem very stable. I really don't enjoy using it anymore.
That's just wild to me. Even if our infrastructure collapsed tomorrow, we could all probably get our water needs met. I live within walking distance to a sizeable river - I'd be annoyed if I couldn't buy water anymore but that's about it.

Some of us still watch it!

Of course the vast majority of old movies are long forgotten (and no great loss), just as the vast majority of what we're producing today will be. But there are a minority of classics that endure. Just as there's still a market for Shakespeare, Dickens, and Mozart, despite all the plays, books and music that have been written since.

The other year I put down 10K as rough estimate and after 4 months realized I'd already done 8K. Changing the policy to cover a more realistic 20K incurred an additional fee of something like £7.

From this I reckoned mileage isn't a huge issue.

It's actually even worse. The direct emissions are 7%, the whole are 12%. That includes things like the footprint electricity that steelmaking uses.

I used the lower 7% number in that article, because that's the emissions one talks about when tackling process / blast furnace emissions, so I thought using the higher number would be misleading in that context.

Of course, but an AI can't explain how it got to what it's telling you. A human can, and you don't have to accept it wholesale; it's possible to judge it on its merits and argument. But no-one really understand how and why ChatGPT says what it does, so you can't trust anything it says unless you already know the answer.

In this discussion, a human has studied psychology and has diplomas or certifications to prove it, an ethics framework it must follow, and responsibility for its mistakes. ChatGPT has none of that, it just regurgitates something it got from the Internet's wisdom or something it invented altogether.

I'm not saying humans are never wrong, but at least their reasoning isn't a black box unlike ChatGPT and other LLMs.

We don't know what AI will replace. Because it's a big hype today doesn't mean it will change the world tomorrow.

For every new technology advance, people like to predict that it will entirely change society. Blockchain was supposed to replace many jobs with smart contracts, until we realized it is just not solving anything. The Internet of Things was supposed to change the world, but it mostly increases the attack surface of connected fridges nowadays. Drones haven't really changed in a decade.

I don't think that there is a big need to prepare to be replaced by AI. Let's first see if it actually solves problems, and then adapt.
