Oh but we do. Kids have been prohibited from entering bars and buying tobacco, by law for a long time. We generally think that's a good thing, and why it continues to be law.
Same, my family PC at the time had no good way to hook up to any TV in the house but I did own a big spindle of DVDs and had a PS2 in my room that could play them. I'd make authored copies of DVDs using DVDFlick for me and my friends so I could watch R rated movies and TV shows away from my parents' eyes. I even had an extra long audio cable I'd run to my bed so I could watch late into the school night.
Yes, absolutely. Using one‘s likeness without explicit consent first is illegal in (most of?) Europe and is a tricky subject in the US. For example look at Crispin Glover‘s lawsuit against Back to the Future II.

A lot of these tech layoffs seem to target product people: product managers, product owners, designers and the like. Is there a trust crisis on the value generated by this kind of roles?

The 65B quantized model fits in 64GB of RAM, which I already had.

Though RDIMMs on eBay are even cheaper than UDIMMs (just over $1/GB) and Broadwell-era Xeon workstations aren't that expensive if you want to run the unquantized version.
This is officially a new round or are they still doing layoffs from early February?
This could partially be blamed on education being limited to few people as a direct side effect of caste system -> But the data seems to indicate otherwise at least from surveys around 1800.

From Dharampal "Beautiful Tree"

> It is, however, the Madras Presidency and Bengal-Bihar
data which presents a kind of revelation. The data reveals the
background of the teachers and the taught. It presents a picture
which is in sharp contrast to the various scholarly pronounce-
ments of the past 100 years or more, in which it had been
assumed that education of any sort in India, till very recent
decades, was mostly limited to the twice-born amongst the
Hindoos, and amongst the Muslims to those from the ruling
elite. The actual situation which is revealed was different, if not
quite contrary, for at least amongst the Hindoos, in the districts
of the Madras Presidency (and dramatically so in the Tamil-
speaking areas) as well as the two districts of Bihar. It was the
groups termed Soodras, and the castes considered below them
who predominated in the thousands of the then still-existing
schools in practically each of these areas.

> In most areas, the Brahmin scholars formed a very small
proportion of those studying in schools. Higher learning,
however, being more in the nature of professional specialisation,
seems in the main to have been limited to the Brahmins. This
was especially true regarding the disciplines of Theology,
Metaphysics, Ethics, and to a large extent of the study of Law.
But the disciplines of Astronomy and Medical Science seem to
have been studied by scholars from a variety of backgrounds
and castes. This is very evident from the Malabar data: out of
808 studying Astronomy, only 78 were Brahmins; and of the 194
studying Medicine, only 31 were Brahmins. Incidentally, in
Rajahmundry, five of the scholars in the institution of higher
learning were Soodras. According to other Madras Presidency
surveys, of those practising Medicine and Surgery, it was found
that such persons belonged to a variety of castes. Amongst them,
the barbers, according to British medical men, were the best in
Surgery.
Many people like me like to paste stuff into an editor to strip the formats.

Since you mentioned Cars, there's an interesting thing I noticed when Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri was in theatres. At that time, when I try to search the movie on IMDb, typing "three" (and I have to emphasize that I typed "three" not "3"), IMDb's first search suggestion was "Cars 3" instead of that Oscar winning movie that was playing im theatres at the time. I'm pretty convinced that Disney payed IMDb for that placement or something like that.

In Rust terms, the arena should own the data and each object should just borrow from the arena. In Rust, when you drop a borrow it doesn't deallocate the memory; only owned values deallocate on drop (that is, in the destructor). Besides, borrowing enforces that the arena won't drop while the borrows are still outstanding.

I perceive it the same way, for at least 5 years.

(1) FAANG seems to be running out of new ideas. They've collectively turned everything into some kind of feed and frantically reiterated on that trying to squeeze out every penny of it. Some 10 years ago they were searching for "how can we monetize mobile and ads" and now everything seems to look like a nail. Their products all look similar, they're copycatting each others' features and there's barely any "ha, interesting UX idea"-moment anymore.

Also, they're too big to try something new in the small with no or minimal ROI which is especially driven by all of them being public companies with a historically high YoY growth rate.
Good news for small disrupting startups. Also for pretty old behemoths who are able to survive hard times like tardigrades (Microsoft) and strategically put themselves into a good waiting position.

(2) The data-driven mindset as a sole strategy seems to be ceasing. To me, this comes without surprise. Having watched product manager work in recent years it looked like mindless and uncreative A/B-testing: "let's push this box 10px to the left and see what happens" and months later "push this box 15px to the right and measure". Data-driven is good, but it does not replace but only augment qualitative product management.
Also, "we do design sprints bc Google is doing so" from my perspective often ends in a soulless process where all stakeholders are just doing their thing in order to measure something (anything) systematically cutting out peaks (and lows).

My counter-initiative would be: Can we please make digital products creative, weird, un-commercialized, at least when they're new? Can we again listen more to our guts?

In a vacuum, sure. But that anonymity has costs in making it easy for the wealthy to embezzle, evade taxes and commit crime. We’re not doing a great job of balancing that cost and benefit.

> Since you are talking about the order of names, do you mean "last name" as in surname or given name?

Exactly.

For people you don't know well, 'getting formal' is never really going to steer you wrong. Many of the Romance languages (Spanish being one I know best, also because my brother's wife is originally from Panama) have the concept of a formal and informal pronoun "you".

To an older person, I might say, "¿Como esta usted?" instead of "¿Como estas?" as a sign of respect or deference.

For the record, I know precisely zilch about the rules in pinyin, and by coincidence didn't really grasp that "Standard Chinese"[1] is really an offshoot of Mandarin until a couple of years ago.

Seeing "Crouching Tiger" in Mandarin somehow got me in the mindset that this was "old" Chinese to fit with the time period of the film.

Not so much.

I use a Google Spreadsheet with columns (Day, Start, Finish, Description, Time, Subtotal).

Each day I adjust the Subtotal for the previous day and put in an entry for the new day.

When I start working I put in an entry into Start, Finish e.g. 3:33pm 3:33pm, and then adjust the Finish time when I stop.

I have a sheet for the month, and when a new month comes around I add up my totals for the previous month, check that the SUM(Subtotal) is the same as the SUM(time col), and then calculate average hours worked per day / week.

I then duplicate the sheet for the next month.

Have been doing this since last year and it works great.

Thanks for the feedback. It, unlike ChatGPT, doesn't retain question history--so it didn't know what "it" referred to in your final question.

Bing can do this (with GPT-4) but the problem is it has an unacknowledged limit to the amount it's able to read, and so it mishandles summarizing a large document, seeming to read the start and a few random pages. How does yours handle large sources?

Edit: I tried this one with an 800kb .txt and after digesting it, it got two answers wrong (but at least related to the text) and then started spitting out "I don't know". I asked "what is this document?" because I saw with my previous test that it can get blocked and be working with a 404 page ("this document is a page that says suspicious activity request denied") but this time it just said "I don't know."
I’m really struggling how what your employer “gets” has to do with this.

Regardless, my point is that anyone who says, “I’d have to pay 6x as much for the same house near Manhattan as in Iowa” has a truly unrealistic view of living near Manhattan. You make do with less space than you’d “like” and get the benefits of living near Manhattan. If that tradeoff isn’t appealing to you, keep the remote job and stay in Iowa.
my understanding of GPT is that the only vector for your data to get "into the model" is if it's used in fine tuning/RLHF. My guess is if you do the thumbs up or thumbs down, the session probably will be, but otherwise probably not. Still wouldn't put in private employer data primarily because of the other exposure risks - it's obviously not stored securely on the OpenAI side. But besides typical IT risk, the big unknown is whether or not the model will spit out what you put into it in somebody else's session. and my understanding is, that's only possible if your conversation is used for RLHF.

I guess another way to say that is, OpenAI (or another service provider with a better security track record) could broker this service in the cloud, with guarantees around not using the session data for RLHF, not storing session data, stronger auth (OpenAI has had a couple of incidents that show that they have pretty lax security in their backend), etc. and could make a killing selling or re-selling ChatGPT to businesses.
Ubuntu is literally just a collection of thousands of individual packages. It’s not a cohesive whole developed in the same repository like Windows.

Windows is a completely unified OS where there is a huge repo that can build the whole OS from source.

That makes Ubuntu extremely customizable. You can swap out the window manager, or just remove it, use a KDE file manager instead of gnome, do whatever the hell you want. That comes at a cost.

Windows is just Windows. You can’t replace the desktop (you used to be able to swap the shell), or file manager or task manger or installer system. That makes things integrated and easy to use. That comes at a cost also.

For me, I use Ubuntu with i3 for work, Windows for gaming and personal stuff, and macOS because i have old work laptops that are MacBooks.

They all have their pros and cons. Having all three means I always have the right tool for the job available.

This was part of #HustleGPT challenge from twitter which started two weeks ago by Jackson Fall https://twitter.com/jacksonfall/status/1636107218859745286

I was trying to do something similar: giving GPT-4 some initial instructions along with the budget, and try to build a business from GPT alone.

You can check how it went in my twitter thread if you are interested: https://twitter.com/wooing0306/status/1636290135817076737

Every step of the project including ideation, logo creation, MVP code writing and etc, was solely achieved with the guidance from GPT-4.

Was a very fun experience, not gonna lie.

>>Apple's operating system creates this file in apparently all directories to store meta information about its contents. In fact, it contains the names of all files (and also directories) in that folder.

Anyone have an idea why modern versions of MacOS still uses a .DS_Store file? The OS could just as easily read and display the contents of a directory. And deleting a .DS_Store file doesn't seem to have any noticeable negative affect.
It's not just the prompt. Bard is just not good at things that require, shall we say, more than a modicum of understanding. Let me give you an example.

Bard: https://i.imgur.com/m5UGjxU.png

GPT-3.5: https://i.imgur.com/XH1266o.png

GPT-4: https://i.imgur.com/ZcaZ9Qk.png

So basically Bard didn't understand the instructions at all, GPT-3.5 understood that it needs to substitute words but can't figure out the proper context, and GPT-4 not only did almost everything correctly, but it actually went kinda meta and wrote a rationale within the context of the story for the substitutions I asked it to make (which it does on this task more than half of the time, BTW).
I think Rust needs to show me a decision tree for why something on the lefthand side of a function call ends up being whatever vscode + lsp shows me. Because the compiler and rust-analyzer are going through various traits and auto-traits to ultimately land on one decision but if I want to understand how Rust works I need to know how it arrives at these conclusions. I don't want to have to jump deep down into language constructs and read the docs just to find out several levels deep that a trait was implemented by some other trait that then had an auto trait impl and that's why it ends up requiring me to write &. Rust being complex is fine but only if they go far beyond what has been standard tooling.

I use my W11 22H2 as a daily driver because of that: it just works (TM).

Also, I don't see any kind of news or the likes on Windows, and it feels really close to Windows 7. Here are the things I've done so far:

- Bought a Windows 10 Education license from a shady website, and it's been working fine for the past 4? years. The upgrade to Windows 11 Education went smoothly as well.

- Local account only. No Sign in to Windows crap.

- (Most important imo) Installed OOSU Shutup10++ (it's for Windows 11) and turned almost everything off there.

- Bought a Start11 license for 5 USD and installed it, and switched to the Windows 7 start menu using it.

No ads anywhere in Windows, feels like Windows 7, talks much less to whatever 3rd party people MS have contracts with to get my data.

FWIW, I did try daily-driving Linux Mint Cinnamon, which is the best Linux for me imho. However, there is a show-stopping bug as follows:

I have 3 monitors, with the main one being a 4K over DP. My monitors are set to turn off after 5 minutes, and in Windows, they turn back on just fine when I move the mouse (minor annoyance: display scaling is not reflected across all application windows till I minimize and open the window again but no big deal).
For Linux, the DP monitor won't get detected; it behaves as if my other 2 monitors are the only ones connected. I have to turn off the monitor switch and turn it on again for it to be detected. I looked around but didn't find any good way to solve it...

Yeah, I'm sure microsoft (the entity showing the ads) has some presence in Australia. Or better yet, sue microsoft proper, get a judgement, and secure and injunction until they comply.

If all goes well, the entire government will be forced to switch off from microsoft and use something more reasonable.

The Subtle Unfolding: GPT and the Fundamental Essence of Intelligence
I'm not sure what was available to the author at the time of writing, but it feels like abstractions have gotten better and writing embedded Rust has gotten easier.

I also wrote keyboard firmware in Rust and thought it was great! I leaned on embedded-hal and the chip HAL crates (one layer of abstraction higher than the author in your link) and was able to get the majority of the firmware done in a day or two. For example, here is my key matrix scanning function:

https://github.com/bschwind/key-ripper/blob/d33db6144bbb6f80...

I also gave a small talk on the subject (aimed more at beginners) at a Rust meetup in Tokyo:

And finally, a (somewhat) dated article I wrote about using Rust for embedded work:

https://blog.tonari.no/rust-simple-hardware-project

Overall, it feels totally usable to me, and I love how Rust's ownership and lifetime concepts prevent me from doing stupid things like reusing a pin for two peripherals or configuring a peripheral with pins it can't work with.

Not sure which version Bing uses (I’d guess the smaller), but GPT-4 has either an 8K token or 32K token context (prompt + response) space, some of which is taken up by the hidden system prompt, but that limit is also there using the model through the API.
