https://www.stayclassyinternet.com/articles/investigating-AW... concludes S3 has only ever gotten cheaper, but this isn't quite true. On 2007-06-01 [1] they lowered their data transfer charges but added a per-request charge. Depending on your workload this could have been a price increase. But this was sixteen years ago and I'm having trouble thinking of anything since.

I'm sorry could you spell it out? What exactly does "recursive query will always consider _all_ edges" mean? A table scan? I'd be very grateful if you could give some pesudocode or point to a doc page.
Lithium ion is not one thing.

The 'Lithium ion' from 10 years ago is very different from it now. 'Lithium ion' is an umbrella term that contains lots of things. Just as 'solid state' is not really what anybody is talking about. What actually matters about 'solid state' is lithium metal anodes. There are also companies who are doing lithium metal anodes without being solid state.

If 'solid state' ever make it into the market, they will just be the new 'Lithium ion'.
> There isn't much accountability when it comes to the NYPD. They seem to do what they want and get away with it

We were recently discussing police accountability in Vancouver, Canada. Different city, different country, but the same issue. Our police chief openly stated that he is not accountable to the city, or anyone at all, and he and the VPD will continue to do as they please.
By the way, why not start with spending that time changing the keybind to fit your style (someone at the top even mentioned a config with vim bindings already available)? This would at least remove a lot of the frustration and maybe allow you experience the "coolness" longer?
I hate this trend!
Been playing Katamari Damacy Reroll and it is incredible on the Steam Deck. It's only 7.99 right now too. Feels good that when my joysticks start drifting, or my battery gets old I can just replace it.

Valve getting the Steam Deck on retail is the next huge steps. Hopefully they are seeding decks to major game studios so they can target the hardware. Looking forward to a Steam Deck 2 with a better battery and OLED screen!
I argued the degree of difference did not matter, because it was in the same ballpark as other types of already available materials.

That the difference didn’t matter is my opinion and that is just disagreement. Determining what ballpark something is in wrt damage is, in our context, subjective, no? I did not think what you argued (or what I thought you argued) was impossible or unimaginable. That is different from incredulity. Right? I don’t care either way, honestly curious. You may enlighten me if you wish.

It seems silly to be able to say to everyone that disagrees on an assumption you made that they are making an argument from incredulity.
I think if the price of an audiobook were lowered because of advertising then it could be a great way to get more people listening, but companies prefer profits than lower prices.
Indian indices have given 14-17% CAGR in the last 5 years. Inflation is around 6-7% (hard to cross verify since there's also a lag here).

On tax, India and US (along with 80+ other countries) have a Double Tax Avoidance Agreement, so you dont get taxed twice. Local rules vary in terms of tax declarations though. E.g. In US, IRS mandates all foreign income to be declared. So you file capital gains taxes in India (online) and declare those in US while filing taxes here. We help with all the reporting here.

Trump already lost 2020 before he started lying about election fraud. You think moderates, who decide elections, are going to switch to him?

Desantis and Trump will burn each other for the nomination and if Trump wins that he'll lose. The youth are going to be all over the anger is seething. I can't even look at a Trump supportor without getting angry, first time I've cared about politics.

This will be the death of the republican party and they deserve it
Oleksandr Krakovetsyi, Microsoft Most Valuable Professional in Artificial Intelligence, created this book so that you could feel like an expert working with Midjourney prompting. All funds would go to a non-profit organization managing access to blood donors in Ukraine, DonorUA.
I started skimming the article and just gave up.

Why not just learn to program it yourself? Why are you wasting your time trying to get chatGPT to give you the right thing? Most of the time you spent learning prompt engineering you could have spent on your actual problem.

EDIT: removed the hot take for peace.
> IMO this is the right decision, because the duty to protect the public should arise from the contractual duty to the municipality of performing the job they were hired to do.

Castle Rock explicitly prohibits states and municipalities from placing these sorts of restrictions on the police. It's a very broad ruling.
Solid state (actually we talking about lithium metal anodes) have been researched literally since 70s.
> You're making an assumption that the issue is that the teachers aren't putting in the effort.

Not at all. I'm looking at we aren't getting the desired results. We've tried everything but the obvious - pay for results.

> Gamification of schools is a really great way to get teachers to completely ignore the development of most of the class

Quite the opposite. The bonus is per student.

> It's amazing that after the widely documented failure of NCLB, people are still promoting these 'work harder' systems.

NCLB was nothing like I proposed. It's also not about working harder. It's about results.
The example they start with is kinda blowing my mind.

Not much longer until AI is producing entire movies with AI voices?

If your favorite TV series ends, just feed the AI all the existing episodes and have it render a new story in a few days?

This is an interesting point. I haven't felt this kind of optimism since...maybe way back when browsers were first becoming powerful? Like 2009-ish? Right around when I started, there was a huge amount of interest in how to leverage browser tech to make better app experiences.
The key is "as the standard of prosecution".

They could've still prosecuted her and gave her a slap on the wrist. This is what they would've done to anybody a level or two beneath her but Comey set a new precedent that the standard to prosecute would be intent.

This is why they can't prosecute trump for the files at Mara-lago, besides the (very reaosnable) argument that he was the president so be definition anything he takes home should be deemed unclassified, Comey set the precedent of intent so if they cant prove intent they cant prosecute.
Indeed - why stop at human-readable code? At some point in time we will be solely reliant on AI to understand our own codebase.
This looks like a solid concept. A lot of companies manually do this to give a sense of urgency to PR reviews, and the fact that you're automating this gives you a good product thesis.

On the challenging side: How does this compare to GitHub's Slack bot? It looks like it's just a slight improvement. What's your vision to make this a 10xer?

Very cool overall! It's a good start. We'll try this out.

It doesn't seen like a strawman when in Python you are forced to write like this:

import logging
import sys

sys.breakpointhook()

And both `sys` and `logging` are not obscure builtins, they are used everywhere. And just for that, case is not fixable.
This is a good point, but pretty much all rental companies have GM vehicles, and renters get stuck with whatever is available. I doubt renters will change their behaviors because they won't be able to effectively avoid GM vehicles. So as a result, rental companies won't change their behavior either.

It will just suck for renters a bit more than before.
I remember asking it how to remove hidden files with rm and it hallucinated an -a option. Sometimes the hallucination makes more sense than reality.
Sigh. Someone is ranting and doesn't get it.

There are real threats, but those aren't it.

More likely near term problems:

- Surveillance becomes near-total. Most communication is monitored, and people profiled to to detect whatever deviance the authorities don't like. China tries to do this now, but they are limited by the number of censors.

- Machines should think, people should work. Organizations will have few managers. Just a a very few policy makers, and people doing physical work. Amazon is trying to go that way, but isn't there yet.

- If everything you do for money goes in and out over a wire, your job is at risk.

- New frontiers in scams and crime. You can fool some of the people some of the time, and if you can do that at scale, it pays well. More scams will become automated high-touch.
This will include political scams and much of marketing.

- If you accept Milton Friedman's concept of the corporation, the sole goal of corporations is to maximize return to shareholders. That's exactly the kind of goal a machine learning system can get into. At some point, measured by that criterion, AI systems will start to outperform human
corporate leaders. Then AI systems have to be in charge. Investors will demand it. That's almost inevitable given our current concept of capitalism.
Interesting - could it be the case that your use case is more suited for a library like FAISS instead of a vector DB? Would love to understand this. (I’m affiliated with Weaviate).
> Were you, until approximately last week, ridiculing GPT as unimpressive, a stochastic parrot, lacking common sense, piffle, a scam, etc. — before turning around and declaring that it could be existentially dangerous? How can you have it both ways? If the problem, in your view, is that GPT-4 is too stupid, then shouldn’t GPT-5 be smarter and therefore safer? Thus, shouldn’t we keep scaling AI as quickly as we can … for safety reasons? If, on the other hand, the problem is that GPT-4 is too smart, then why can’t you bring yourself to say so?

I think the flaw here is equating "smart" with "powerful".

Personally, I think generative AI is scary both when it gets things wrong and when it gets things right. If it was so stupid that it got things wrong all the time and no one cared to use it, then it would be powerless and non-threatening.

But once it crosses a threshold where it's right (or appears to be) often enough for people to find it compelling and use it all the time, then it has become an incredibly powerful force in the hands of millions whose consequences we don't understand. It appears to have crossed that threshold even though it still hilariously gets stuff wrong often.

Making it smarter doesn't walk it back across the threshold, it just makes it even more compelling. Maybe being right more often also makes it safer at an even greater rate, and is thus a net win for safety, but that's entirely unproven.
It sounds like the issue is that the software vendors are the ones doing this tampering. They are allowed to self-certify their products and presumably the DOT will treat whatever it shows on their system as valid. The article mentions that the FMCSA is investigating the companies and could eventually remove their certification from the program, making their software unusable.

Adopting a contrarian brand because it brings you attention when you'd otherwise be a nobody is by far not limited to twitter. It's a mainstay of traditional journalism.

If anything twitter disincentivizes the practice because it has commoditized cynicism: It's harder to build a brand by being the well known naysayer of X when someone can source whatever negative view they want by simply typing it into a search box.

Commoditization will be complete once the media starts quoting GPT4 for reliably opposing views.
I'm sure it will go about as well as Spotify's foray into podcasts.

In other words, it'll suck, but it'll save a small number of people enough money that it sticks around for way too long. Audible already has a near-monopoly on audiobooks, so at least there's a vague hope that this could shake up the market a bit when people get fed up with ad creep.

Looking forward to ads in ebooks and paper books soon after. Then we can get ads on toilet paper, ads on toothbrushes, and eventually, less-relevant ad breaks from your relevant ads. Self-perpetuating like Wall Street financing.
It's time for an open source browser.

Just kidding but none of the major browsers feel like proper open source projects. Mozilla hasn't had a community-driven vibe in a long time, and its Temporary Extension nonsense make it feel less open in a different sense besides the code. Brave is a grift. Safari is nice but closed-source. Chrome is my favorite but is too tied to Google. Edge started off good but Microsoft has added junk to it.
I could get it down to 10 with the `:compression` option on[1] for hello world. Perhaps this is the option you use? The compression didn't hurt the run time much as I recall. It's the reason why I'm still okay with common lisp for this use case.

If they’re smart, maybe it means the other criminals steer clear?

A lot of this is the result of efforts by Stanford faculty and (Stanford-owned) Youcubed.

If you are a Stanford alum or a parent in San Francisco, please reach out to Stanford leadership to let them know about your concern. You can send an email similar the one below, to any/all of these folks:

daniel.schwartz@stanford.edu (Dean of the Graduate School of Education https://ed.stanford.edu/faculty/danls)

provost@stanford.edu (Persis Drell)

president@stanford.edu (Marc Tessier-Lavigne)

Subject: Concerns Regarding Stanford's Involvement in CMF and YouCubed

Dear [Recipient's Name],

My name is [Your Name], and I am a concerned parent of a school-age child living in San Francisco. I am writing to express my deep concern about Stanford's connection to the California Mathematics Framework (CMF) and YouCubed. As a prestigious institution, Stanford's involvement in the promotion of these policies and practices has a significant impact on the quality of education our children receive. I am hoping to hear from you regarding the university's stance on this matter and the actions being taken to address the concerns of parents and faculty alike.

Recently, I came across a list of Stanford faculty who have signed a statement expressing their concerns about the CMF (https://sites.google.com/view/mathindatamatters/home). The signatories come from a diverse range of STEM fields, including the medical school, business school, and political science. This demonstrates a clear disagreement among the university's own quantitative faculty about the direction of math education proposed by YouCubed and the CMF.

As a concerned parent, I would like to know who at Stanford bears responsibility and liability for the educational effects of what YouCubed is advocating for math education. Given that YouCubed is owned by Stanford and not by an individual faculty member, I believe that the university should be held accountable for the potential negative consequences of these policies on our children's education.

I would like to draw an analogy with the case of Dr. Scott Atlas, a former Stanford faculty member whose controversial views on COVID-19 led to public outcry and concern. Just as the university had to address and clarify its stance on Dr. Atlas's views, I believe it is essential for Stanford to publicly address the concerns raised by its own faculty regarding the CMF and YouCubed.

I kindly request a detailed response on this matter, as it is of utmost importance to the future of our children's education. As a leading institution in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, Stanford has a responsibility to ensure that the educational policies it supports and promotes are in the best interests of our students.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your response.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]

If you have an edge list like:

A->B

C->D

Postgres will walk both paths from A to D in the recursive CTE and then you can filter them afterwards to keep only the shortest.

You can use aggregate functions within the recursive CTE, so you can’t GROUP BY your starting node and stop once you find the first path. There isn’t a way to compare across multiple paths or iterations of the for-loop.

Day-to-day tools are things that really takes no time to learn on the job imo. They take more time to get up to speed from scratch but when dropped into an environment using them I expect experienced folks to get up to speed very quickly.

If they resent not having the awesome dev tools though, like you mention, that's another thing entirely.
