I know this sounds shitty but what's to stop you from periodically removing some of the features from the lifetime deal until it's just barebones and no support?
Sure, donate an integer percentage of your software engineering salary to organizations directly fighting climate change, or buy capture/removal credits from a reputable source.
Don't let perfect be the enemy of the good. A fossil fuel vehicle too takes a lot of non-renewables to get it ready to drive. Yet it also needs even more to keep it moving. And changing all their motors to electric is more work than replacing fewer power plants.
> So recruiting more muscle groups really doesn't help. What does is increasing oxygen intake, and this is where recumbent bikes come in. The laid back position opens the thorax and increases effective lung capacity. As well as reducing air resistance, except that that's a very subtle thing that mostly depends on the rules governing the sport in question (fairing on bike and kayak, for example, are variously restricted or banned in most relevant sports).

Recumbent riders generally have much lower peak power and ftp but higher sustained so VO2 differences wouldn't explain it. The main attribution I've seen is aero and marginally less muscle power used for motions that aren't related to pedalling.
The Industrial Revolution, but intelligence instead of energy.
Harm reduction would be driving less, not spend tens of thousands on a new car.
The market always wins, and the market for EVs is about to be massive. A beautiful thing about capitalism is that when a large market exists, smart people and resources flow toward solving every discrete problem standing in the way of tapping into that opportunity. Yes, some of these challenges exist, but none of them are insurmountable.
I've always felt weird about the voluntary self id sections on job applications that suggest its important somehow to know my ethnic background.

Are multicultural societies often like this? I understand the US's history wrt race relations, but my gut feeling has always been that the fixation on the subject is unhealthy.
Have you tried it? How did it do?
I mean if you want family to have access to your accounts when you’re in a coma then you need to set up power of attorney beforehand. Or they can get a conservatorship.

My password file is not really a big concern if I’m in a coma as they’ll need other legal powers my passwords can’t help with. Even with passwords, they aren’t legally allowed to spend funds without power of attorney. And if they have power of attorney they can get passwords.
Yes, but superintelligence hasn't been created yet. That's what the petition is ultimately about, not chat assistants. Transformers unmodified aren't going to scale up to that, they're already nearly scaled maximally.
> there's literally a "Purchase" link in the top menu bar

Yeah, that's... how I found out? It actually took me around a minute to find that once I started looking for some sort of download. Maybe I just scan websites differently than you do, but it was somehow difficult.
> That is, assuming the people who control the AI/robots are willing to share the wealth generated.

The only way that can be is if you make the AI/robots undocumented and extremely hard to operate, so that even if someone steals your blueprints and builds an exact clone of your robot manufacturing plant, or what have you, they have no idea how to get them to do anything.
I'm reminded of this Intel Skylake bug where it would execute wrong code in extremely rare circumstances: http://gallium.inria.fr/blog/intel-skylake-bug/
> ..."Islamic"...I took it to refer to "the culture that was flourishing in the Arabic world in the 7th C".

There is unfortunately no convenient single term to refer to the intellectual milieu of the Middle East in that period. Among historians, I think the most commonly used terms are "Hellenic" for those communities publishing in Greek, and "Arabic" once they had switched to that language. Just remember that not everyone publishing in Greek was a Greek and not everyone publishing in Arabic was a Muslim.
assembly/c/c++/perl/ruby/elixir/elm/js are "pretty ok" to me no matter how long I had written with. python is absolutely not ok to me .. always think "really?" I want to write it in another way, but it can't be.
I’m not sure what you mean. Is it that these people wouldn’t have a positive self image if they were in a role that’s a bad fit?

Sometimes I’ve thought of that and realized how it would be wrong to label them as incompetent when they’d be a star at something else. Other times I imagine they’d somehow still have high self esteem and handle this situation super well and I try to figure what that would look like.
Yes you have a point, but it's like either we're discussing something obvious and trivial, like a caricature of a person who is just complete asshole abusive toxic diva, or we're discussing the real grey area that is genuinely difficult to deal with.

Luckily I've never hired a completely abusive and gratuitous but competent asshole but yes, I would fire that person as a matter of principle regardless of how competent they are.

But come on, are we really discussing that scenario or are we discussing the much more common scenario like someone who is about as much of an asshole as 2010s Linus Torvalds? Someone who is really competent but gets very impatient with others, has no problem stating rudely that your work is bad, that you keep making the same tiring mistakes over and over again, that you should know how to do certain things by now, that you're expected blah blah blah.

I think that's the more interesting and worthwhile discussion to have and it's the case where for my company, I decided I'll take the asshole over the nice guy.
I once received a postcard (as in, no envelope) with a picture of the product I bought, trying to bribe me for a 5-star review.

The product itself was totally innocuous but I can imagine if that happened with something that was even slightly sensitive or embarrassing. Like, now everyone at the post office knows you ordered a Swedish penis pump along with a hardcover instruction book written by Austin Powers himself.
I'm sure they are using the same type of database that the credit reporting companies provide. Not only does it often contain incorrect information, it sometimes asks me detailed financial questions about my adult siblings. How in the hell should I know what mortgage company my brother has used in the past? And it is NOT my job to contact him and find out so you can cover your ass with fake security theater.
I have a piece of paper with my passwords sealed in an envelope stored in a safe place. A few trusted individuals know where that is.

This is much more reliable and durable than having 1Password still be around when I need it.
Yes. The chat functionality is really just a clever trick. All LLMs are still just predicting the next token in a sequence (i.e. finishing the sentence).
Having a zero pollution power source lets the car do things that would be unsafe in a normal vehicle. Preheating, or precooling is safe in an electric car but can cause dangerous accumulation of carbon monoxide if running a fossil fuel engine.

That’s just a random example.

Generally EVs are cheaper to operate, are quieter, have a lower centre of gravity, and are more spacious.

In theory they could be cheaper and more reliable, but currently Tesla makes mostly luxury models and has poor quality control. That’s just them, and isn’t anything to do with EV technology.

Other manufacturers will eventually make a cheap EV with better reliability than a Toyota.
This is true - the ergonomics as well as the aerodynamics are a step up. I would like to note though a disadvantage in ergonomics when it comes to hills, which nicely illustrates another feature - often unacknowledged - of conventional frames.
I live on a hill and commute on a conventional/non-recumbent bike. There used to be a bearded white middle-aged guy living half way up our hill with a recumbent and I noticed the recumbent seemed way /less/ efficient on our hill climb. A secondary design feature for conventional bike geometry is how well it works on a hill when you stand up. There’s something about how you can use your weight, pulling on the handle bars at the same time as rocking the bike frame side to side, to maximise downforce on the pedals, that just works incredibly well for propelling yourself and the bike up a hill. None of that is available on the recumbent designs I’ve seen, and because the hill slows everything down, they get less aerodynamic advantage too. So while they’re great on the flat, I think a key limiting factor for recumbents may be that they’re not so good in hilly places.
As far as I can tell this was the 1200’s[1] and this doctor and author explained how to use a lot of our modern anesthesia such as opium, a few types of cannabis, and others.

1] ChatGPT says ~1218 while I calculated 1242, but I don’t know this calendar.
Insuring populations that are too small/niche/finite or over which you have too much information and ability to price discriminate (i.e. charge them exactly the cost of insuring them) isn't insurance either.

It's a perverted cross between escrow and welfare in which the population basically pays their own way in the long run plus supports all the people who make their living by being "administrative overhead" along the way.
One really has to stretch to equate the change of prime movers in an automobile to a global conspiracy to destroy free will.

What could the conspirators do with an electric vehicle that they couldn't do with a Hummer?
Ah, that does actually make sense, because ChatGPT can’t reach out to URLs right? It has its own time contained dataset, correct? Wonder if it would have a cache of that URL if the URL existed at the snapshot/time of its dataset?
It's not a secret, in OpenAI api you have to keep sending previous question and responses on top of your new question, essentially you are asking new question but give it more context with the previous questions and answers
Yes, lots of evidence out there he was pushed out and is now sour.
We need to see something like "dropout" gain popularity again where you take a trained network and keep removing hidden neurons and re-training a few iterations until you can't obtain the same accuracy anymore, at which point you've reached what should be the smallest that network can be while still encoding the same knowledge. With models of these sizes though, few have the compute or the time to do stuff like that. There's a way of doing the whole thing iteratively though while you train that shouldn't add too much extra complexity..

The fact that the big players aren't doing this doesn't surprise me --- the more parameters, the less they have to worry about small-time competititors. I wouldn't be surprised if you could make an order of magnitude reduction in parameters and get the same results, and they're all just terrified we'll figure that out

As an undergrad I did some research on mapping "computational complexity" concepts onto neural networks to answer questions like what classes of problems require what minimum hidden layer sizes or network topologies using strategies similar to this. I was actually astounded how simple some of the resulting networks were that could nonetheless solve complex tasks like OCR with very few weights.
I would but I'd have no way to verify if whatever it tells me is accurate.
I'd also like to see a "short story collection" again; which is really what the episodic format is. But realistically, I'm not holding out much hope for "Star Trek" in general. One of the great things The Next Generation did was jump ahead 75 years or so to, well, the next generation. This means you have the freedom to do your own thing while still building on what came before. In the last decade it's been going over the same characters again and again and again.
We’re spending many hundreds of billions of dollars on new cars and charging infrastructure. This could easily be redirected to mass transit.
Are you running EBCDIC or a localization other than UTF-8 anywhere?

The filesystem shouldn't arbitrate localization issues. It's the wrong place to do it in terms of performance, area-of-responsibility, and portability.

NUL-terminated UTF-8 in memory and size+data on disk is the best encoding.

Normalization is a multifaceted problem that needs to be handled at or before where the filename argument hits the standard library. Sometimes, normalization is NOT desirable and it is preferrable to normalize for comparison only to other strings and to faithfully store whatever was provided verbatim.

Side-effects and doing 737 MAX MCAS underneath users is the road to ruin.
Love the simplicity of the stack!

To be honest my curiosity was more of an engineering itch, what kind of setup would exhibit the failure mode I observed (a specific static route timing out).

Have you considered rendering HTML pages statically to avoid situations like this?

(By the way don’t let this conversation distract you from focusing on your product, your website is already excellent! And I appreciate you taking the time to reply :)
Zoom does a pretty good job of hiding the link to join a meeting with your browser, only showing it (quickly) after you download their installer, and more often after a delay of several seconds. I poked around briefly and couldn’t find any hidden links that I could expose by a quick console script, though I haven’t looked through their client-side JavaScript yet. Anyone have any shortcuts or bookmarklets to make it easier to launch a meeting directly in the web client?
I had one recently that asked what mortgage company my brother had used in the past.
The measure of a "good" model is still very subjective. OpenAI has used stuff like standardized test scores to compare the latest iterations of GPT, but that is only one of the many possible objective measures and might not be relevant in a lot of cases. Maybe we'll come to a consensus around such a methodology soon, or maybe it'll be something every user has to judge on their own depending on their goals.
stop running servers computing hashes that don't contribute to society? btc cough /s

I used to work for a tech company that used big data to convince large swaths of people to become energy efficient. One of the company metrics was how much energy was saved, accounting for our footprint as well; it was fun and gratifying when we crossed the saved more than 1TWh threshold, which also reduced the need for fossil fuel peaker plants. So these companies do exist, but the tech isn't sexy nor complex/hard/challenging ~ way more of a business and social component to these systems, and tech is only a small tool here.

Said company was acquired by Oracle and still running and doing well!

ChatGPT further robs unmotivated students of any motivation to write and think for themselves when unmotivated students never wanted to write and think for themselves in the first place. Motivated students, on the other hand, use ChatGPT to greatly increase their learning depth, breadth and pace

I think my headline is more accurate
As an average car user, we can easily enumerate the somewhat significant trade offs.

Main points of difference:

Filling with gas vs charging.

Oil changes, transmission fluid changes, etc vs replacing battery in ~10(?) years.

That’s about it from what I can tell. No wrong choice. Just trade offs.
> I haven't seen development speed slow down over the years.

Well, otherwise, how would it have gotten to 2 million lines of code?

Adding lines of code and refactoring are different activities and discussions.
I’ve got a long experience with Ruby which I believe is quite similar, but after about 5 years, an untyped language just falls apart. Updating anything is perilous because libraries will change stuff all the time that violates the types and it won’t be mentioned in the changelogs, your 20,000 unit tests will also constantly miss stuff because you didn’t reimplement a type checker inside rspec. It’s a disaster. Typescript has saved our front end but I don’t see any hope for Rails.
This looks like a fork of alpaca.cpp, which is a fork of llama.cpp. I noticed it doesn't seem to support the ggml weights released with those two.
EVs are quieter due to lack of engine noise. This is especially noticeable when paused at intersections. EVs don't "idle." There's also no engine shake, something which never bothered me in ICE cars until I started going back and forth between an EV and an ICE car. (Most) EVs have a single gear, which means you always have power when you want it, like when you want to overtake someone heading up a hill. You don't have to wait for your car to find a lower gear when you mash the accelerator. EVs don't have exhaust. Mostly not an issue for the driver but still nice. If you have a home charger, EVs start every day with a full "tank." EVs are typically have cheaper maintenance and fuel costs, which, in some cases, offsets the higher upfront cost. There are downsides too, of course, the biggest being charging times (if no home charger or road trips), range (if you travel a lot) and upfront cost, but if you can sort those, they are huge improvement. I'll never own an ICE car again.
> It really devalues and even humiliates the academic institutions and their research if all you know about them is that they've got a good sports team.

I think you misunderstood my point. Sports was my introduction to the school. That does not mean sports is the only thing I know about the school. I learned about their academic reputation because of sports.
People also don’t want to be fired. I think there’s a lot of value left on the table from people getting fired from jobs and getting similar jobs somewhere else that they’re also not great at because they can’t break out of a self image.
I in general don't like driving, and I don't understand how anyone who's ever owned an EV could ever want to go back to an ICE vehicle:

1. As others have pointed out, the maintenance is much less. Not to mention, of course, the electricity costs much less than equivalent gas.

2. The cars are just so much cleaner for an individual. No gas smell, no oil changes, etc.

3. They are much quieter.

4. Even if you drive a lot more slowly, the smooth acceleration is much more pleasurable. Plus, the quick acceleration does come in handy when you want to get out of uncomfortable situations.
It's not quite public. You usually would need to setup a company and pay for access to it. Presumably from one of the credit companies.
It's just bad unresponsive CSS.

It's so ugly to have the words break anywhere and for the intentional line breaks to still occur anyway.

All they needed to do was use media queries for at least three screen widths and adjust the font size in there accordingly.
The main losses are drag and, at low speeds, friction.

A velomobile (enclosed bicycle or tricycle where you lie back) mostly solves the former. The effort of a light walk moves you at about 30km/h on the flat (but slightly slower than walking on a steep uphill).

Steel rails would make it slightly more efficient again.
"Climate anxiety" is an entirely reasonable reaction to the destruction of the natural world and the coming inhospitable planet. Not a mental illness.
Impressive of them to execute a plan piece by piece for 15 years, keeping it secret, sticking through the ups and downs, never giving in. For all that persistent scheming, they deserve the fruits of their malfeasence.
> why not move to somewhere in the US that has doctors?

Do you have a suggestion where in the US that is? The US has many doctors but essentially all of them are gated behind insurances and especially hospitals.
I think considering that we already have GPT plugged into the internet, the general population and any number of economic levers, not long at all. We barely know what to look for as a marker of AGI. Chances are if it’s possible for it to exist we will have let it out of the box by default the moment we switch it on.
I personally scoff at this kind of stuff because it's asking for something no one has the power to give. It's like asking to stop the development of nukes in the 40s and 50s, it's just not gonna happen.
All the more reason to encourage wildcat strikes
I've just finished updating my work Windows boxes to Server 2019. We are a small firm with three DCs, a FS/PS, ePO (Mcafee/Trellix), RDS/RDG. The ePO at least was 2008 R2 originally. I always do inplace upgrades these days.

If you do a search you will probably find that I am apparently so wrong that I need to report into Room 101.

I think that what goes wrong is an inability to look at logs - laziness. Windows has rather a lot of logging. It took Linux years to catch up with journald (Events) plus various random text logs in /var/log. No matter how much logging you have, getting technicians to actually look at the bloody things is a really hard problem. The little darlings think they are omnipotent and can deploy a cure based on what I call wankery. It might work but probably doesn't.

Medics are way ahead of us here - I've never heard the term contra-indication in IT. Perhaps we should learn from experts in dealing with weird symptoms and very, very complicated diagnosis.
They keep piling on at this point.

Again the medias' credibility got lower for me when the NYtimes et all kept defending this thief.
Passenger car emissions are ~8% of total CO2. Trucks etc are easier to greenify, replace with trains etc.
There are a number of advantages:

* they are quieter.
* they are smoother.
* you may not care about performance but lots of people do like it.
* they require less maintenance (which is a cost saving, sure, but also a convenience issue)
* if you can charge at home you don’t have to take time to visit the gas station.

On a side note, is there a place that talks about this issue in React and explains why this is needed? There is a hint in the doc. It says "... that hold state outside of React".

Using web sockets, events come in and some (and only some )affect components. When a socket is connected there is an explicit state that changes, but how that gets into React-Land is difficult. The same issue exists with WebRTC. What I don't really get is why useRef, useState and useEffect are so difficult to get right.
