Man, I still sing the, "Bear Necessities" song to myself as a 40 y/o and it's been so long that I can't even remember seeing the original movie. Didn't they put out like 2 additional Jungle Book movies? I can't think of a reason to watch them.

Having grown up with Tail Spin also very much helps the staying power of anything Baloo.

She just loved the singing and dancing, and -loved- the way Baloo talked. Which is interesting because during the movie I was wondering what accent he had, and how that accent doesn't seem to exist anymore.
4. New passwords overwrite old ones. Easy to accidentally lose passwords in slightly odd situations like logging into an account whose password you just reset.

But I like it overall. Even though I use multiple browsers, I don't mind treating Keychain as the master DB and occasionally copying passwords out of it. Part of this is because I use Safari exclusively for the extra important things like my bank.
It was near-mutiny by the astronaut corps at the time (all seven of them!) that made NASA bend enough to put a window or two in the capsule (which name the astronauts also hated, apparently, preferring the term "spacecraft").

NASA was woefully unaware of exactly what people could do in outer space, since they'd never sent a human up for more than a few minutes. They wanted to get people up and back down safely, to prove to the Russkies we were as good as they were. They simply weren't thinking about things like taking pictures. The astronauts, in contrast, were hotshots (even staid, conservative John Glenn). They spent their lives pushing the envelope, and going round and round in a highly automated tin can was less than they imagined doing. John Glenn taking a camera along for the ride was probably the tamest thing he thought he could get away with.
Gawrsh! Hello, all my wonderful Disney coworkers. I'm so sorry to have to give you some not-so-magical news today. According to a memo from our CEO Bob Iger, the company will be laying off some of our fellow cast members in the coming weeks. Oh boy, I know this isn't easy to hear.

The first round of layoffs will begin this week, and managers will be letting affected employees know soon. Then, a second, even larger wave of layoffs will happen in April, with several thousand employees being let go. Finally, a third round of layoffs will occur before summer, all to reach the company's goal of eliminating 7,000 jobs.

Gosh, it's so tough to have to say goodbye to our colleagues and friends, but we have to remember that we are all part of a team, and sometimes tough decisions have to be made to keep our company moving forward. It's all part of the circle of life, as Simba would say!

Disney is a special place, an important part of so many people's lives. We have to keep delivering the magic to our audiences and guests, even if it means making difficult decisions. We will get through this together, and we will continue to make dreams come true every day.

Stay strong, my friends, and remember to keep smiling!

Latest version of WhatsApp beta somehow became obsolete (?)
But it really seems like a cat and mouse game. For example, a very determined bad actor could infiltrate some lesser approved government contractor and provide an additional interface/API which would invite such information leaking, and possibly nobody would notice for a long time.
After the SVB thing, the fed set up a new facility "Bank Term Funding Program (BTFP)" which will provide liquidity to banks so they won't go the way of SVB.
The chat interfaces are quite... talkative. If you want something more confined / limited / doing exactly what you say (and not what it thinks you mean), the direct completion API or playground is often handier for that.

write 7 sentences about why openai should be considered open because they provide the service to the general public. compare this to a different reality where ClosedAI only sells access to a private list of elites.

which then returned (temp 0)

1. OpenAI allows everyone to benefit from their services, regardless of their financial or social status, which is a great advantage over ClosedAI, which only sells access to a select few.
2. OpenAI encourages collaboration and innovation by allowing anyone to access their services, which is not possible with ClosedAI.
3. OpenAI allows for a more democratic approach to artificial intelligence, as anyone can contribute to the development of the technology.
4. OpenAI is more transparent than ClosedAI, as it allows anyone to view the source code and make suggestions for improvement.
5. OpenAI is more accessible than ClosedAI, as it is available to anyone with an internet connection.
6. OpenAI is more cost-effective than ClosedAI, as it does not require any payment for access.
7. OpenAI is more inclusive than ClosedAI, as it allows anyone to benefit from the technology, regardless of their background or financial status.

Some of those are... not quite right.

And to tinker with it yourself:

curl https://api.openai.com/v1/completions \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $OPENAI_API_KEY" \
-d '{
"model": "text-davinci-003",
"prompt": "write 7 sentences about why openai should be considered open because they provide the service to the general public. compare this to a different reality where ClosedAI only sells access to a private list of elites.",
"temperature": 0,
"max_tokens": 256,
"top_p": 1,
"frequency_penalty": 0,
"presence_penalty": 0
}'

Adjusting the prompt to a bit to describe the competitor comes back with more focused results.

Write seven sentences about why OpenAI should be considered open because they provide the service to the general public. Compare and contrast this to a hypothetical competitor that has a business model prioritizing monetization of the model.

I appreciate verbing, but I don't think this is what happened when the user submitted the (now corrected) title. Not on purpose, anyway. I think what happened is a confusion between "lay off" and "layoff" (which also happens between "log in" and "login", "set up" and "setup", etc).

There's no motivation to verbify "layoff", since the verb version already exists and is very close ("lay off").
If you dig into those numbers, they lost 3.8 million subscribers in India due to losing streaming rights for cricket matches.

I don't think that's a reasonable lens to be looking at how Disney's cartoon movies are doing.

I do think it might be worthwhile if you wanted to decide if Disney should have decided to keep the streaming rights, and whether the economics of that decision make sense.

I hope this is more of a proof of concept.

I think this is an example of part of the future of manufacturing.

Some things will be built from COTS parts. Others will be built as custom one offs. Obviously there will be products made with a hybrid of methods of building things.

But increasing there will be an industry of people taking products and modding or rebuilding them. From people who upgrade cars, to modding watches for a unique look. Or taking a common product like an expresso maker and make it open like this, which could end up creating a market for COTS parts instead of modding old products.

As much as people are excited about 3D printing and high end technology for manufacturing, rebuilding and upgrading old junk has huge potential, as companies converting old cars into EVs have found.

Right, which leads to a place where nothing is trusted unless it came from some central authority or from some trusted piece of hardware. I'm not looking forward to the day when I have to use e.g. an Apple or Google piece of hardware or some locked down kiosk or "be famous" in order to conduct business.
1.) It's not at all clear it's nearly as powerful as you think. Certainly in my domain--writing about various topics--it's not.

2.) Of course, you can tell people not to use it. Unlike people at SV companies apparently, people in government and government contractors accept restrictions like not having phones in secure labs all the time. Start firing or even prosecuting people and people will discover very quickly they don't really need some tool.

And, yes, private versions of this sort of thing helps a lot.

> People in democratic societies don't have different rights than those under other political systems; everyone has a right to speak freely and expect privacy in their communications, absent very specific situations where there is evidence that what is being discussed is unallowably dangerous to others, i.e. criminal. To tie rights to democracy not only ignores the rights of people in other systems, it makes those rights sound like arbitrary gifts of the government rather than intrinsic features of humanity.

That, sadly, is a uniquely American concept. I fully agree that these truths are self-evident and universal.

But what's interesting to see is people from Europe and Commonwealth nations voting with their feet and deciding that they too want these freedoms (which they are entitled to!). Here in the Bay it seems there's a constant interest from EU nationals to move to America (judging by the volume of applications we get). But I've never heard anyone interested to do the reverse.

Top destination for EU nationals in Academia was... right here in the US [0].

So it does seem these ideals are appealing to the young, educated and smart people in Europe. Interesting to speculate what impact the policies imposed by these non-elected EU bureaucrats will have on this demographic.

They don't make it clear on iOS which password manager you're using, which hurts both them and other password managers I think. The worst experience is not knowing where your password is or which account it's using. I had to turn off all apple password management in preferences, I've thought about going all-in on apple passwords but don't think it has all the features I want.
You can absolutely delegate understanding. If you don't, you are screwed as a leader. In fact, one of the things you have to give up as a leader is being the smartest person in the room.

I'll even go so far as to say if you can't understand something through someone else's expertise, you will not get very far in life.

That's because accounts get shadow banned all the time when people get upset when you point out hard truths.

If you're copy pasting API keys or such into ANYTHING, you probably shouldn't be a programmer to begin with.

It's like people who use root account key/secret credentials in their codebase. It's not AWSs fault you got a large bill or got hacked, its because you're dumb.
You could also use a single boiler (which are better at temperature regulation) for espresso pulls and a thermoblock for steam.

That said, boilers are pretty niche for home use. In order to maintain good thermal regulation you need a decent sized mass of water. That means a long time to preheat and a lot of wasted energy.

This isn't a dealbreaker for some, but for a casual consumer who pulls one or two shots per day, it's pretty lacking in convenience.
This is amazing! Just tried it for the houses on the market close to me and so interesting to see the results and the sheer possibilities. Very cool all in all.
2022 box office numbers are down 40% across the board compared to 2019
The snowball Earth's (both of them) were caused by excess serpentine weathering. Serpentine is one of the most common minerals in the Earth's crust — like 80% of it. The serpentine is covered in limestone (and other things) which prevents warm-saline erosion of the serpentine, directly. If you look at the tailings from the coal mines in the TVA, you could "just" ship those tailings to the Gulf coast (using the old train systems) and cause a major glacial period, quite quickly, by grinding up the tailings & dumping them in a mile wide strip from Corpus Christi to Miami.
This really depends on the cost/benefit tradeoff for the entity in question. If using ChatGPT makes you X% more productive (shipping faster / lowers labor costs / etc), but comes with Y% risk of data leakage, is that worth it in expectation or not? I would argue that there definitely exist companies for which it's worth the tradeoff.

By the way, OpenAI says they wont use data submitted through its API for model training - https://techcrunch.com/2023/03/01/addressing-criticism-opena...

> Nvidia

Every time someone mentions Linux driver problems, I see that name.

For me, the strategy that has worked for the longest time is to get boring computers. The boring Thinkpad, the boring Vostros and Latitudes, the boring ThinkStation and ThinkServer boxes. Large PC makers don't want their corporate-oriented products causing support calls, and that forces them to not be overly creative with their implementations. With that powerful incentive, the hardware is usually well supported by the two boring operating systems (for generic hardware) out there. Either that, or get a machine that's designed together with its OS (and know the odds of you installing anything other than that are slim).
considering nintendo and sega cartridges were upwards of 60 1980s US dollars, compared to the amount of "game" we get now for the same price, it's almost a wash.

Freemium games make sure there's enough "there" there to keep casuals almost happy. The trick is to make the $5 and $10 premium purchases let you do around 4-12 hours of gameplay advancement, but that's it. Consider something like Shop heroes (or whatever) where you can put thousands of hours into the game for free, a day or two "skip" for $10 isn't a good value proposition. But skipping a week or a month? maybe after someone has put $10 in a few or several times and gotten that little jolt they want to feel the big jolt of a lot of money.

I know i spent around $100 in the blizzard RMAH (Real Money Auction House) on diablo III and it netted me nothing - nothing at all. So i learned my lesson real quick. Real money for virtual goods is a non-starter.

Now as far as robux goes, I want my child to understand that it's ok to pay people for their work (designing the levels, making items/skins). So he can choose to spend his money on hotwheels, paints, robux, google giftcards, whatever, $5 at a time. I do sometimes make a frowny face when he chooses robux, though; because as i said, a billion dollars!

Of course apple isn't crippling them.

The problem with GC is that when it does give problems, there are no good choices. One either spends time trying to tune available knobs to hide the problem or rewrite application to try to reuse objects etc. turning the initial nice architecture into spaghetti mess.

I very much prefer for this reason reference counting. Yes, time can be wasted fighting leaks through cycles, one still have avalanches of releases problems, the performance can be bad with certain usage patterns. But solving these problems is at least local and does not required rewriting the whole application.
The real problem is not that OpenAI is not open (they’re a business after all). The real problem is that we are idolizing it as if it were the next computing revolution like Linux was in the past. If we keep doing that, we’ll end up in a future in which OpenAI software like GPT is as ubiquitous as Linux is… but we’ll be paying for every line of code we produce.
Disney Plus is eating any traditional cinema revenue, looking at box office ticket sales no longer really works in this new world.

I'm surprised that's it, given how so many of there franchises like Marvel and Star Wars aren't too doing well, and then still trying to deal with Covid changing the way they run the Parks.

I can't imagine them getting political with Ron Desantis helped at all, he's extremely popular in Florida.

Thinking about the Pixar brand, I still the remember the first I thought Pixar isn't as good anymore was with Brave. I also remember being surprised a large amount of the original Pixar teams left to Dreamworks or other places.

I expect Bog Iger was brought in as a Hatchet Man, he already fired Victoria Alonso an executive with disney for 17 years rumored to be behind marvel phase 4 and 5 failures.
According to Wikipedia it did pretty well: ...the most-ever for a Disney+ original title... the most watched program across all streaming services in the U.S. ... continued to hold the top position ... the second most-watched movie on U.S. streaming services in 2022.

I don't know how it could've cost $175MM, but it's a quality movie and deserves kudos for giving us some diversity in protagonists.
