> South America isn't all as bad as you hear on the news.

It might not be but as someone who's natively from Brazil I can say: it's pretty fucking rough, even more when I compare to my life in Europe/Sweden.

Whenever I visit I do need to turn on my alertness to surroundings up to 11, I do need to close the car windows when I stop on a red light in a city, I do need to care about two guys riding a motorcycle and coming to the general vicinity of myself or the vehicle I'm in.

Lived there for some 25 years of my life, got mugged with a gun 5 times, got mugged with a knife twice.

It doesn't happen everyday but violent is so common that you are on a constant state of anxiety and alertness, it's pretty stressful to live your day-to-day like that.

I also lived in the USA for a while and while you don't get the same anxiety as in South America I still felt much more stressed in the USA than I've ever been anywhere in Europe.
I’m genuinely starting to wonder if you’re arguing in good faith. From answers on this thread it seems you have a fixed idea in mind and are doing everything you can to keep it intact without understanding what others are saying.

Yes, humans struggle. But crucially, AI doesn’t. When GPT gives you a wrong answer it didn’t “struggle” to come up with it; spewing wrong information is just the same to it as giving you the right answer. It doesn’t know the difference, and that’s the point. Otherwise, if your claim is that it truly understands what it has read, then every time it gives you a wrong answer it means it would be actively lying. I hope you can see how that’s even worse.
Very strange to me that a chatbot is the turning point for many people to start caring about their data and ethics
Ignoring a return value is a normal thing in many situations. I like verbose but "discard" is weird enough that it might complexify API design to offer two functions instead of a single one.
Seems like a lot of effort for no actual gain.
I was learning to produce video in the 1990s and thought he horizontal aspect ratio was hostile to the human form and thought about making a video that told viewers to “turn their TV on it’s side”. Horizontal frames make people look fat and I’ve joked that the obesity crisis was caused by the transition to 16:9.
H2 has the benefit of being much easier to store, transport and transfer than batteries. It’s able to be stored in small containers and large vessels of any shape. Batteries manufacturing is much more complex. Electricity needs to be transferred from a power station over wires, while hydrogen can be pumped into a vehicle from a bulk source.

Sure H2 is dangerous, but so is LNG, and petrol for that matter. 100+ years of accidents and safety controls means that even a drunk person smoking at the pump can (probably) fill their car up safely.

Japan has very poor carbon security, so LNG reforming might come with its own challenges, but they could generate it via electrolysis using nuclear or wind power, or import ammonia from future mega producers like Australia.

It’s very likely that global demand in the transport sector will tend towards H2, so they need to gear their industry towards that market.
I thought Stellantis was known for selling the lowest quality vehicles. Or rather, vehicles with the lowest quality to price ratio.
I've also noticed this while learning Chinese -- I think quite a bit of the initial difficulty with learning a second language is just training your brain what to expect next.

Going into a 711 to get a coffee in Taiwan you know approximately what questions they are going to ask: size, hot/cold, do you want a bag (to hang on your scooter), and do you want a receipt.

Similar with the supermarket, a restaurant, when getting train tickets, etc.

You're just building up what questions to expect next for the scenario -- if the conversation deviates from that (even with words or questions you might know) your brain has a hard time initially adapting to that.
Can't get past the style insensitivity thing. Seems like a ridiculous 'feature' to build into a lang.
Then the Italian authorities will be pleased to know that the bug is already fixed, and thus there's nothing for them to do. Unless GDPR is now being interpreted as a general obligation to never write bugs, in which case, they will have plenty to do going after European firms because it's not like there's a shortage of buggy software in the world.

What are you talking about Business leaders have made it to the presidency multiple times.
This is an important point; rather than just serving as a supplier of the raw resource, local industry has developed lots of equipment which is used within the oil&gas sector worldwide, ensuring we have something to fall back on when we're done pumping hydrocarbons out of the ground.

The industry is currently seeing the writing on the wall, though, and is trying to reinvent itself in a greener hue - for instance, my employer, who's been developing handling systems for ROVs and various seismic exploration equipment are now going all in on motion compensated walkways intended to bring crew and equipment out to offshore wind turbines.

Anyway, once petrodollars dwindle, we are reasonably well positioned to handle the transition. These are exciting times for engineers!
Nim is still on the top of my to-study-to-use list, for c++ backend I'm unsure if it transpiles to c++20?
They were right in 2020 though
I managed developers for a long time, prior to retiring. Generally, except when I worked for a company filled with PMPs, I asked developers when they would complete an assignment if things went well and if they didn't when. I didn't ask for task level estimates. I did ask for descriptive write up of the direction/approach and any intermediate milestones that told them they were on track and how well the project was going. Over time, I learned who was good at this type of estimate and who wasn't, who sandbagged, who was overly aggressive, etc. It took some time to get my bosses happy with the lack of detail, especially since I usually gave the pessimistic estimate or something close. I hated being micro-managed when I was writing code everyday and wasn't going to follow at practice that I myself had hated. This process worked great until I worked for a PMP-driven company, where projects routinely crashed and burned. Slack by Tom DeMarco should be required reading for all PMPs and their managers.
Lithium ion batteries set the standard because they have an acceptable level of all the key metrics: energy storage by weight; energy storage by volume; discharge rate; charging rate; production costs.

Every single one of these big breakthrough announcements touts how great this new tech is- in just one or two particular metrics.

The problem is that Li-Ion batteries are just barely acceptable in all of those metrics. No new battery is going to replace them unless they can match Li-Ion in every metric and beat them in at least one.
The idea that nobody saw their coworkers as competition for a promotion, or bonus, or face-time with the boss in the past, and that there are no teams that stick together and work together today, is fanciful at best.
> which doesn't even ask for your name

Nitpick: It asks for your name, email and phone number before you get to use it. Not to detract from your larger point, but people have expressed disappointment about the phone number part.
It _is_ crazy, because of unknown collateral damage, especially due to proxies, CDNs, and inability of most ISPs to filter using anything except IP addresses. You know, large-scale DPI is for non-democratic countries only.

That's the problem they've solved here using nanowires - the cells have a 200-1200 cycle life depending on operating conditions - I suppose the range is so wide because of the temperature range - -30°C - 55°C. It's not surprising to see cells degrade fast at the hotter end of this spectrum.

For EVs they advertise cells with no less than 410Wh/L, 4C rate of discharge.

The clean-up tool was most of all a tool that had a "side-consequence" of uninstalling softwares which were pushing Bing or Yahoo.
This is a very sensible take that i fully support, too bad the Italians do not, it's their loss.
i agree that the plug-in chaos of vim and even emacs is exhausting. there’s so much churn, abandoned packages, and all this decision making that you have to do to get started. but at the same time you can’t expect to be able to build all the functionality into the editor. my workflow is greatly simplified by using tpopes vim-fugitive, it’s a fantastic git interface and it makes total sense to be part of an editor, and the lack of a similar thing in helix was the first reason i went back to vim after trying it out. if helix had plug-ins i’d probably be implementing that functionality myself! there are tons of other things like that. sure i could start building a git interface into helix itself but that both seems like a failure to separate concerns and a possible waste of time if it gets rejected by the maintainer etc.
You assume too much regarding parting terms, and I don't see any mention of family responsibilities in that rosy scenario of yours.
I'm still trying to make the full time switch to Linux

When I use MacOS and Windows these days I am baffled by the design choices.

It's like the design process involves the CEO, their yogi, and the finance department.

I have no idea what's going on but the big two desktop operating systems have gotten worse in the last decade.

Linux has been my last hope and it's getting to be passable recently, but there's a lot of work yet before I can make the switch full time.
I have been just recently been getting into creating React SVG components that pass props to the inlined SVG code.

ChatGPT Banned in Italy
Given how quickly income inequality is rising, can you blame people for taking any advantage possible to try to stay ahead of the curve? If it means throwing your teammates under the bus to get more money, that's unfortunate but it's going to happen.
I tried it and it's great but not being able to use the keybindings I want is a deal breaker. I'm an Emacs user and I won't make the jump to learn another system again.

My Life with ChatGPT or the Times They Are A-Changin'
I can see where computers help folks in those careers minimize the minutia of finding statistics or refreshing their memory about something like certain cases, obscure disease symptoms, etc. I bet passing exams is as good of a definition for those careers as passing a leetcode test for a programmer. To put it another way, its ridiculous to think a computer passing an exam means it can replace a human's job.

GPT doesn't have fingers to test for enlarged prostates.
In this AI age I'm seeing it coming to fruition. Fullstacks have (IMO) more potential now than narrow specialists because they can now get away with high-level remarks and letting the AI fill in the details.

Ironically the GPT4 translation is better

>Both translations effectively convey the main points and ideas of the original Italian text. However, the translation I provided seems to be more fluent and coherent, using more natural English phrasing and terminology. For example, "the Guarantor for the protection of personal data" is translated as "the Italian Data Protection Authority," which is more common and clearer in English.

>While Google's translation is generally accurate, it has a few awkward phrases or word choices that make it slightly less clear or idiomatic, such as "the best known of the relational artificial intelligence software" instead of "the most well-known relational artificial intelligence software."

>Overall, the translation I provided is more polished and reads more smoothly in English, which may be preferred for better understanding and clarity.

>Taking into account accuracy, fluency, and clarity, I would rate the translations as follows:

>My translation (ChatGPT): 95/100

>- The translation is accurate, fluent, and clear. It effectively conveys the original text's meaning and reads smoothly in English. The phrasing and terminology used are natural and idiomatic.

>Google's translation: 85/100

>- The translation is mostly accurate, but there are some instances of awkward phrasing or word choice. Some sentences may not read as smoothly or clearly as they could in English. Despite these issues, the overall meaning is still conveyed.

Any idea why utiliy-scale is so much more expensive than automotive?
Pretty spot on!
What's the state of the art for combining these two types of AI (super auto complete and "ask a question you'd otherwise have to Google") in vim?

Ideally I want to be able to highlight some code and then run an AI command on it and also provide it as context to a query without leaving vim or losing syntax highlighting.
This is why people often mention "the planet you will leave to your children". The consequences might be too far in the future to be individually impacted, but presumable most people care about their kids future.
The law should make sense, and your argument is exactly the same as the one Google used with chats, there isn't any difference. It could easily be argued that phone calls are "recorded" by the VOIP systems.

Especially because off the record means there was no 24 hour retention period and the messages were never recorded to begin with. You're mixing up the default behaviour of "history on" (24 hour retention) with "history off" (no retention.

> Elon Musk has donated $100M USD, and does not look happy about the developments, based on his tweets.

Sour grapes?

A few years ago, he wasn’t happy with his investment in the company because they were behind Google.

So he proposed becoming the CEO, and got snubbed by Altman and the rest (presumably from fear of how it played out for the original Tesla founders, at the time).

One possibility is - that he is genuinely concerned, and his vision of AI included some hardcoded rules - such as Asimov’s rules for robots. Can’t dismiss it completely, as this was his original purpose for starting OpenAI.

Perhaps it’s a bit of both.

I had a brief look at F#, it didn't fit my mental model and I looked away. Meanwhile I do like using the tacked-on functional features in traditional languages because it allows me to get the benefits when it fits what I'm doing instead of having to fully buy in.
You don’t need two functions, you just mark one as {.discardable.} and the discard happens automatically. Unless I’m misunderstanding you.
It seems that a typical battery might only need 5-75 kg Lithium.

So that would then be < $400 if your computation is correct. So even better. Even if this cost would be on top of existing costs this would still be not prohibitively expensive.

Yes, and that with smart glasses seems interesting.
> The problem here is that, of course, this was just a way to make Cohen an intermediary for the process of the campaign paying Daniels. This is problem in two ways. First, it goes against the campaign spending limits, so goes against campaign laws. Second, it's a form of falsifying business records.

The interesting bit is that Hillary Clinton also violated campaign finance law in a similar way for funding the Steele dossier. She was fined $8000. People are really going to have a field day with this.
> and "BASIC mutilates programmers" lines of thinking have done so much damage to the way we, as an engineering community, think about the role of computation in society.

I learned BASIC when I was about 7 years old by reading the books and banging out code. When I didnt have access to a computer, I wrote the code on paper and entered it later. I can say that it was very hard for me to wrap my head around the C style syntax after a few years of immersion as a kid. I did get over it and I think that the problem helped me develop a deeper understanding of programming concepts. So maybe both can be true?
I think the best measure of real-world battery improvement would be a chart of iPhone / Macbook battery densities over time. My guess is that there's been little improvement over the last 10 years.
> could violate campaign finance laws by using the wrong account

My understanding is that there is no limit to the amount of a candidate's own money they are permitted to spend on their campaign. So what legitimate state interest could be advanced by laws that nitpick the exact boundary between what is and isn't campaign funding when it comes to the candidate's own money?

Do candidates have to report all their food expenditures as campaign funding-- since they obviously couldn't campaign if they don't eat? :)
The author's point was that this dynamic does not apply to managerial positions.

They are, in their argument, almost entirely composed of "non-heroes" and their actual work is of speculative value.
Hence why they are suggesting that 50% of them can be randomly removed without a corresponding loss of effective productivity.

I don't know if that's true or not (though I'd love to see it studied), but I can at least see that logic behind the claim - roughly summarized as:

"The ability of a manager to increase the productivity of workers is inversely proportional to the complexity of the work being done."
It’s not trying to do that.

It’s trying to regulate the data collection and processing of users in its territory.

On the other hand, CLOUD act was trying to regulate data on foreign servers.

Thank you, exactly. The question is when Italy is going to move on Google for using Oracle's copyrighted Java API. Disgusting the EU has allowed it so far, clearly a blatant violation of sacred licensed information.
The bar should be fairly air tight. Cohen has already served time for this crime. Moreover, he was charged with acting in conspiracy with “Individual 1”. While Trump will face a separate trial, with all that entails, in practice there was already a successful trial for at least some of Trump’s crime.
In your example, both payments would be legitimate business expenses.

The bait-and-switch is that while green hydrogen can be made, it very rarely is, and when it is, it's less cost-effective than a battery electric solution.

It certainly depends on network quality. Do you stay mainly in one area, or do you move around all day? I use my phone for communication only--practically no browsing or app usage, no games--and in some places I can get away with a full day, others I need a recharge.
