Then I'm skeptical about whether public transit can actually succeed. Why would the wealthy ever choose the bus over taking their own vehicle all the way from point A to point B? Does public transit succeed according to that criterion in countries other than the US? Is it necessary to somehow force the wealthy to do what is less convenient for the individual?

I'm far from being even "above average" at CSS, but this approach (as a long time developer, mostly in OO) has made the most sense to me. Little bundles of things in their own contexts that apply to a limited area. I can re-use names as they are appropriate for their contexts and not worry about cross contamination.

But, other people do things differently so maybe it's not the best approach for them; but for my limited needs and experience, it's been fine, if not great.
I don't think we should conflate ubiquity with superiority, but it is easy to see how the latter often leads to the former. Perhaps Western movies are indeed considered very good, even by people from other cultures, which is why they decide to watch them. Or perhaps the cars invented last century, first developed in the West, already found some optimal designs that are simply more efficient, and therefore will be widely adopted.

Your implied explanation is rather bleak, as it seems that capitalism is independent of consumer wants or needs in this perspective.
What if your greatest strength is moving fast while making less mistakes than others, how do you identify when slowing down is valuable? Isn't the point of moving slow just to train yourself to go fast?

This has only gotten worse. Zoom has always been a stack of dark patterns, but now if you want to join a meeting for the browser, if you click the meeting link it takes you to a page that starts an unrequested download of the app, requires you to click another link ti get to the meeting. There, it will tell you you must be logged in (if accounts are a requirement, which they should be for most orgs). However, you can’t log in from that page. You need to navigate backward, to the original unwanted download page, where it will start the download again, and then click the “create account” link (there is no sign in link), click “existing account”, sign in, and then start the whole process over because they take you to your “dashboard” where the meeting tied to your account isn’t visible. Once in the meeting, most features are disabled and getting sound to work is a crapshoot.

It’s somewhat telling how bad they make the browser experience. I would never install it to any device.

Oh... I already see this commit being used by MS in the Copilot lawsuit.
Oh good, we have our WEF boogie men, who I guess the Italian government is currently taunting. I expect they'll experience some comeuppance from the WEF? Or is this one of those "the enemy is both powerful and weak" situations where the WEF has incredible promised power, but still seems utterly ineffective? The same shadowy forces can easily change the definition of what constitutes lab grown meat, circumventing the law and introducing it into the system. You're not guaranteeing anything with this law.

By making lab meat illegal, consume choice HAS been eliminated. This is literally the exact same problem that's being suggested as a slippery slope in plain view.

> Prompt engineering will never require learning an entirely new method of communication

No, but it's not like every person in the world is a super competent communicator even in their own language. But I agree the number of competent natural language communicators is an order of magnitude larger than the number of competent programmers. So I do agree with minimaxir that supply will rapidly outstrip demand, and it's unlikely that "prompt engineering" (which is a ridiculously stupid title, btw, can we still change that?) will ever be more highly paid than "real" programming (or whatever is left of real programming, at least).

Still, my point is mostly that we should be weary of making proclamations like this because it's not easy to predict how this field will develop, especially when you consider aspects like domain-specific expertise (e.g. lawyers will be in a better position than programmers to "prompt engineer" a legal contract), and the simultaneous replacement of existing jobs with AI. These factors will blend together to create a mix of incentives that makes it difficult to predict the end result.

I don't think the Assembly/C/Python analogy is perfect, but it's not far off from the truth - we see a new technology ushering in a new wave of people proficient in it, and the temptation is to wave it away as unlikely to affect the status quo, but reality never ends up being so simple.

I tried chatpt and asked a few questions about doing something specific in a Rails project. It was so specific that I had already found the sources online that were avaiable. It summarized the sources into directly actionable steps. At first I thought that was odd and unhelpful, but perhaps I expected too much. So then I tried giving it a prompt about setting up the devise ruby gem in a new rails project. That's one of those tasks that it helps to be familiar woth once and you can promptly forget; you'll rarely return to authentication in the lifetime of an app after its done and secure. It again presented me with the exact actionable steps for setup. I reviewed the gem's GitHub readme and found the response to be correct.

As far as I can tell, chatgpt performs the action of finding and simplifying the information needed to take the next step forward, with caveats for a lack of understanding unless asked and the potential to be inaccurate or wrong. But that's all it does at the moment. No better than asking the "devise expert" on my team how to setup devise from memory. Kinda cool experience, but I doubt it's a titanic shift because it doesn't have the depth of sematic meaning you and I do.

A Rust decoder was something discussed at the start, which is why we chose the language. As research goes, we primarily focused on just the H.264 syntax elements.

Not to downplay your thought experiment but Vulnerability disclosure has been debated to death in the infosec community, ad nasuem. Seems like someone always challenges it when it comes up in the press on Twitter where it seems there will never be a hard answer here that will satisfy everyone.

The consensus and IMO best solution is follow the standard of disclosing and then waiting a reasonable amount of time before telling the world. But there will always be exceptions to the rule where threat models are different or the tech/business environment is different than fast moving software… like old school medical companies with slow moving fixes for medical devices. The latter seems like it has more responsibility to wait but public pressure on them to move but they also typically have teams of lawyers who are disconnected from infosec/tech reality.
We will destroy a whole generation, in more ways than one. Chatbots will replace what vestiges are left of real in-person socialisation, and then all human connection will be gone. All while a certain few make amazing profits off of it, which they'll then use to insulate themselves from the negative societal repercussions of what they've created.
Is "fired" just not a word anymore? Perlmutter was on the wrong side of a power struggle (he was fighting to get Nelson Peltz, an activist investor, a board seat, and had previously tried to fire Kevin Feige and take over control of Marvel Studios). This has nothing to do with layoffs, but is simply Bob Iger continuing to solidify his standing at the top of the hierarchy.
You always hear RICO get thrown around in these sorts of things, which allegedly allows the government to seize anything obtained as part of a criminal enterprise, but I'd need a lawyer to weigh in and determine whether that's actually true and whether RICO would apply to this case.

I often revist the ideas of Brooks; are we converging on the essense, the "conceptual integrity"? or the superficial, the accidental? I also recognize that there's unlikley to be a single dimension for convergence. The individual will define the balance and acceptable tolerances to it.

It's not as if package formats can't be declarative - just that some issue always turns up in package X or Y that the declarative format didn't anticipate.

I think there may indeed be tools to convert these formats but in the end the devils are always in some distro-specific set of details that make life miserable. e.g. your library has some option enabled or doesn't and some other package in that distro needs it and so on and on.
And? Having an income statement or a cash flow statement is not what Tether critics claim to want. The attestation report is basically a balance sheet for Tether showing their assets (cash, cash equivalents, etc.) and liabilities (outstanding USDt tokens). BDO Italia confirms Tether's assets by going directly to Tether's banking partners to get their info. The reports are point-in-time, but there have been several of them by now and each one has shown Tether to be backed.

Maybe a world where China and Russia might need our ethical controls to tame the AI they let loose on themselves?

At this point I feel like we deserve to lose, our people are insane and can only operate at a shallow level of game theory that ensures everyone behaves like teenagers.

That said, I'm not sold on needing to pause. We're likely hitting the limit of LLMs for the next while - only incremental improvements from here. What's wrong with creating a task force and committee for working on AI ethics in parallel?
I agree, "quirky" sometimes become mainstream: just as the Gentrification Aesthetic[1] - now popular on AirBnB as noted by the article used to be quirky. However, I meant products that stay quirky will not succeed on the mass market, almost by definition.

A good prompt is key. If pasting code make sure to run it through the tokenizer first to make sure it’s not too long. Be very descriptive about what you want it to do. If it goes off the rails just hit the stop button and then edit your prompt with the little edit button at the top right and try again, this saves on context length and it saves the previous prompt and response so you can switch between them and compare.

This is how you use AI tools to write code.

In our project, the user just copy-pasted the output from the AI tool and called it a day. They did not even bother to build the project and test it.

Curious to know whether you are using ChatGPT to make games.

I actually use poe.com which has a faster response. Have been building a Fallout+XCom kind of game. Wouldn't have got into this project without first building a draft of the story, quests and dialogs with ChatGPT. It's a machine gun so you have to be careful not to overload the design document with neverending ideas. And of course implementing math and other utility code is a breeze.

Nobody can afford to furnish an apartment the way big complexes stage their model. They rent good-looking but useless furniture from some place like Rent-a-Center. They can afford the rent on it (they pay for it pre-tax, while actual people have to pay for it post-tax) but its such shoddy quality that it will fall apart as soon as you use it. I've never seen anyone decorate their apartment like this. Even AirBnB hosts quickly find out that they can plaster cheap glittery decorative tchotchkes everywhere but the bed and couch need to be something that won't fall apart if you look at it wrong.

> Looking for a way to get a modern debian (something akin to non-LTS Ubuntu)

Not exactly sure what you mean by modern, but I'd recommend debian "unstable" (also called "sid"). Despite its name it's pretty stable. Normal debian stable releases are LTS style, unstable is where newly built packages show up first—so it will generally have the latest version of stuff and not be stuck a year or 2 back. It's basically a rolling-release style thing—I put in a little cron-job that does `aptitude safe-upgrade -y` every night to keep me up-to-date.

You can also use debian "testing", which one step back from "unstable"—packages are promoted from "unstable" to "testing" when if they've gone 2 weeks without a bug report of some particular severity (that I can't remember off the top of my head).

What's nice is you can have both testing and unstable in your apt sources—on my machine I set the priority on my testing higher than unstable so I generally get the testing packages, but I can grab unstable if I need to. I've been running this way for about 20 years now, and it seems the right balance of new but consistent.
The gift tax thing seems like a distraction. He would have needed to file a gift tax return for giving $10 million, but no taxes would be due. But he could just as easily have given $100 million, filed the return, and paid a large gift tax—he had plenty of cash floating around back then.

I guess what I’m saying is, it wasn’t a way to hide the gift, because it still triggered the need for a gift tax return filing.
It is great to hear it works for your wife. I am forgetful and clumsy, and there would be days I will either forget to charge the car or not plug it in properly. This is not a big deal for an ICE car (petrol or diesel). However, you need a lot more discipline driving an EV car.

This is what the article is trying to highlight. For many people, EV cars are perfectly fine to use right now. However, only 25% of cars on the road are plugin electric (UK figures). Most of these are hybrid cars, reverting to fossil fuels when the EV battery drains. If you want to get to 100%, the government needs to do more than formulate policies.

I have been running Pop OS every day for about a year and I can't recommend it highly enough.

Everything just works. The level of polish is very high. The window manager supports tiling in a way that is extremely easy to use.

I installed windows on the same machine and windows is a disaster these days. I was chasing drivers, and never felt like I'd had them all properly installed. I regularly would end up with the Windows OS in a bad state and have to reinstall it
