We are made of meat. It’s rarely worthwhile to sacrifice developer effort to conserve hardware, and if you do manage to break even today, you probably won’t in the future. Async Java was pretty painful and only penciled out because the cost of a million native threads was just ludicrously higher than everything else.
Counterpoint: they only generate novel differentiation but won't generate new detailed products.

This basically means you get thousands of different nostalgic triggering visuals but it's a visual trick the same way marvel movies all follow the same premise and eventually satiate the space.
I love that people are trying to coat his actions in reason like "look at the numbers, it's not spite it's truth" and then Elon tweets "Defund @NPR" and makes them look silly.

I think a lot of people misunderstand what a scholarly level is. ChatGPT is not even close.
It selects for people who prefer solving puzzles to doing work. Source: I am one.
Is it too late to invoke Godwin's law, or is "actual Nazi" sufficiently unhinged for a late qualification?

I'm pretty sure there is nobody on /pol/, or anywhere on the internet for that matter (short of some 95+ year olds), who was an "actual Nazi" who "mass-murdered people like you."
"... unless they switch jobs"

That is how raises happen. The economy doesn't grow uniformly - new industries take off and cannibalize old industries, and the people in the old industries eventually lose their jobs while all of the gains in growth go to people in the new industries.

Folks who expect better-than-inflation raises without switching into a hotter industry or moving into a new role remind me of the Parable of the Drowning Man [1]. You have to help yourself and go move into the areas that are making money. Assume that about 20% of your actual job should consist of hunting for a better job (and that > 50% should be setting you up for a better job - ideally you are learning new skills in your current job that will be useful in higher-paying positions).

The WHOLE PREMISE of it was that it is an OPEN LEDGER...!

I'm not sure how this persistent myth of it being a way to secretly make payments got around and stuck so well... maybe the "crypto" in the name?

Yep, nobody cares if you have money unless you spend it.

Hmm, if they're not paying him, why does he just put links to these articles on his own blog (ideas.4brad.com), instead of copying the whole article? Also https://www.forbes.com/advisor/business/software/best-bloggi... doesn't list Forbes itself (just WordPress, Wix, Weebly, Drupal, Squarespace, CMS Hub, and Medium), and https://www.quora.com/How-do-I-become-a-contributing-blogger... says:

> The easiest way is to know what you're talking about, write often and follow the best practices of news craft (i.e., pick up the phone and call people, be clear and don't make shit up). Our channel editors and staff writers are always on the watch for people they trust, would read and would want their posts adjacent to. It is an evolving vetting process. I've turned people down who are mostly issue advocates or run non-profits. This kind of mouthpiece stuff is what made HuffPo unreadable. We've parted ways with contributors for writing shoddy, libelous posts. We've taken people down for flogging their own newsletter, investment advisory business, PR agency, whatever. We have economists, financial advisors, lawyers, environmentalists, lockpickers, liberals, libertarians, China watchers, NY tech scene watchers, people covering only celebrity tweets. We like freelance journalists, who only have themselves to flog. I would personally rather sign someone up who wrote short every day than someone who wrote 2,000 word posts three times a month.

So I don't think it's accurate to describe Forbes as a self-publishing tool.

https://bloggingtips.com/how-to-write-for-forbes/ says Forbes pays their contributing bloggers US$250 a month.

You mean, like a web-browser from the late 90's + Java WebStart?
Marvel movies however make more money on average than any other kind of movie. If that's where the money is, that's where the capital efforts of artistic creation will tend towards. Whether the art is trite or original is up to the highest brow critics to determine.
That's a really good question. Is 9/11 a good historical analogy for millennials? Is there something better to relate this to?
I find it sort of funny that a lot of tech journalism still follows the assumption that consumers somehow want subscriptions - or at least wanted them at some point in the past, even if they grow weary of them now.

If that had ever been the case, companies wouldn't have had to use every carrot and stick at their disposal, from promotions to dark patterns to paywalls to eventually just discontinuing onetime purchases completely - just to drag users into subscriptions.

I'm pretty sure subscriptions have always been a trend that was driven exclusively from the business side - so I don't think consumers signalling "exhaustion" here is any significant development. They didn't have a lot of say in the matter in the past and they don't have a lot of say in the current time either.
Yes - that is the right question :) We'll do a followup where we figure this out because I agree that it's relevant. I would guess 95% at most.
Would you need to create a new set of text embeddings ? Do you know if it could be done cheaply ?
Well they need to throw in the "researchers say" statements, otherwise their articles would almost consist entirely of anecdotal human interest stories!
The big problem is the variation. If you want a specific, complex scene it's basically impossible to get exactly what you want in my experience.

I've also found that some words and phrases will overpower the rest of the prompt, so it can be hard to get to specific areas of the latent space.

I think they're really good for mood board kind of work and exploring ideas, but you'll probably still need an artist to create something that is specifically what you want.
Yeah, it's weirdly good at things that are "hard" and then bad at things that are "easy"

Thanks for explaining. I see that you are a German company. Does that mean the data remains inside of the EU? When I use an EqualTo sheet, can I somehow know where my data ends up?

The founder gave an interesting interview about this.

In short when they did user testing with a Web UI, people would write a basic prompt "dog", "cat" and then get stuck.

Discord makes it social by default, you can see what people are prompting and get inspiration.

I also found it a bit weird, but now that ive onboarded its great having a multi platform native experience (ie even chatgpt still has no mobile apps).
I installed a Mormon-owned alarm years ago (Pinnacle) and the division of sales/installers was stark. I didn't last long because is was so scummy. I was hired off craigslist and didn't even realize they were all Mormon at first. The Circle meetings, "The Wives" being always there but not working was really bizarre. I just couldn't take the lies the salesmen told regularly. Weirdest gig/contract I ever had.
Many customers were shocked when I told them what they actually signed a contract for.
I've spent essentially the last year trying to find the best way to use io_uring for networking inside the NVMe-oF target in SPDK. Many of my initial attempts were also slower than our heavily optimized epoll version. But now I feel like I'm getting somewhere and I'm starting to see the big gains. I plan to blog a bit about the optimal way to use it, but the key concepts seem to be:

1) create one io_uring per thread (much like you'd create one epoll grp)

2) use the provided buffer mechanism to post a pool of large buffers to an io_uring. Bonus points for the newer ring based version.

3) keep a large (128k) async multishot recv posted to every socket in your set always

4) as recvs complete, append the next "segment" of the stream to a per-socket list.

5) parse the protocol stream. As you make it through each segment, return it to the pool*

6) aggressively batch data to be sent. You can only have one outstanding at a time per socket, so make it a big vectored write. Writes are only outstanding until they're confirmed queued in your local kernel, so it is a fairly short time until you can submit more, but it's worth batching into a single larger operation.

* If you need part of the stream to live for an extended period of time, as we do for the payloads in NVMe-oF, build scatter gather lists that point into the segments of the stream and then maintain a reference counts to the segments. Return the segments to the pool when it drops to zero.

Everyone knows the best way to use epoll at this point. Few of us have really figured out io_uring. But that doesn't mean it is slower.
You meet people who like to socialize and that you get along with. They invite you to things and places and you meet more people, some of them single women. This will require stepping out of your comfort zone and perhaps finding new ways to enjoy yourself. Grow as a person and embrace the many different ways of living.
I have something similar - or rather I thought I did.

An incredibly high frequency sine wave noise almost inside my head.

I remembered when I was younger (a long time ago - early 80s) that I used to be able to “hear” when a computer CRT was on in my school computer room (uk, so BBC micro, with the standard monitor).

Ultimately I figured out I could hear the switching frequency of poorly designed / made power transformers.

specifically 110/220v to 5v or 12v transformers and cheap USB outlets.

I spent a day up close and personal around all my power outlets and now my head is clear of that super-sonic ultra high frequency nightmare.
> This isn't really true as most of the time the services interact heavily and need to be aligned with each other not to break and work properly.

I'm not sure you got the point. The need to provide interfaces and establish contracts and pledge SLAs is irrelevant and a non-issue. Naturally, your goal is to have a perfect uptime and never break interfaces, just like your goal when working on a monolith is to not add broken code that crashes the service.

The whole point of microservices is that you are entirely free to make any decision regarding the things you own, and your only constraint is the interfaces you provide and consume, and SLAs. From those interfaces inward, you are totally free to make any decision you think is best without having to bother about anyone else's opinions and technical choices and tastes and permissions. You can run one service behind your interface or hundreds. As long as your interfaces are up, you can do whatever you like. That greatly simplifies your problem domain.

> And all what you're speaking of can be achieved by properly modularizing the code of a monolithic application.

No, no you can't. Think about it for a second: can you pick your software stack? Can you pick what dependencies you adopt? Can you rewrite your code in any other language? Etc etc etc. Your hands are tied left and right.
I think the really long prompts persist because it's a lot of iterating and waiting (and/or fast hours) to try to pare it down and figure out which parts worked, which you could instead use making more images.
I don’t believe that marking oneself “open to work” in LinkedIn is a better signal of response as opposed to just submitting one’s CV, but I can see how it can rake in recruiter invitations to apply for high-paying jobs if you’re some kind of a celebrity or expert in your field.
That's the point of Java's virtual threads, basically nothing* will block. The JVM can simply replace a blocking user IO call to an async one under the hood, and in the meanwhile schedule another virtual thread to work. When the IO is ready the suspended thread might get continued.

* FFI has to be pinned, so it will block
Statistics are easy for people to completely ignore or misunderstand.

For example, SF’s homicide rate is better than Denver, but you’d have a hard time finding someone accusing Denver of being a dangerous place.

Another good one is “well you don’t get mugged/stabbed on the street in [car-centric city] like you do in [walkable city].”

I saw one comment that talked about murders happening “daily” on the Toronto subway even though that is statistically impossible.
> The problem seems to be that the web itself is getting worse due to SEO. Maybe more AI improvements will overcome that?

SEO will just start to target AI's.. maybe even using AI's to target AI's. The next arms race may be AI vs AI.
It's a little more opaque and less open than I thought. Not as self-service as I thought. Here's one description from https://joshsteimle.com/writing/become-forbes-writer.html : "Contributors at Forbes are unpaid writers, domain experts with day jobs, as opposed to staff writers who are full time employees of Forbes"
First, I use GPT 4 to study for certification exams. When an objective is just weird and I don't understand it, GPT usually makes it make sense.

Second, I am using it to improve my writing. I say "Please rate this: ..." and get tips on how to improve my writing.

Third, I am using it to create online classes. When I can not find a way to explain something, GPT gives me a page that belongs in a textbook.

This is why I keep my mouth shut when I run into somebody who is into crystals or homeopathy or some other pseudoscientific thing. As long as their "solution" isn't likely to cause additional harm, and they're not being overly greedy re: how much money they're making, then the hope they're selling is real even though it might be of dubious justification.
The receiver could always reencrypt (and usually does, IIUC; signaling this is the point of the "repeater bit" in the protocol). If it was just a dumb passthrough, then there wouldn't be much need to advertise HDCP compatibility in the first place.

So... they fear NYT? Does this count as a publication threatening the government?
Tech is deflating because of the crazy hiring during COVID and the VC/exit driven “business models” suffering most from the end of free money. Most employees in the US are in a stronger position than in years. Most people also haven’t been able to switch jobs - much less for a 50-100k raise.. ever. It’s easy to get lost in your bubble

I think the original Nobel prize was some guy realizing he hadn't done enough good in his life and trying to rectify it.

I think the economics prize was a group of people with ties to money and power trying to add weight and credence to theories that would support their continued access to money and power.

Neither is flawless but one is much more ... noble?... than the other.
Thank you for your interest. We narrowed it down to two very strong candidates but went with your digital copy.
I wonder what the feeling of the people in e.g. China or Russia is right now regarding peace. Is it hopelessness? Nationalism? Fatalism?

IRC lacks widespread support for things like roles, reactions, avatars, threads, showing chat history from before someone enters a channel, search history, and having video and voice chat without piggybacking on top of DCC. There also aren't sync issues within Discord that cause things like netsplits which are somewhat common on IRC

I know some newer versions of the IRC spec try to address at least some of these, but as far as I'm aware, they aren't very widely supported
I added this sentence to the article, hopefully making it clearer:

I suspect introversion is correlated with my IQ because high IQ people enjoy thinking, and thinking is easier when you're by yourself without distractions.

What a commie answer, to blame the person who has actually supplied something because they can't keep providing forever.

Why not jail the neighbors, who obviously refused to start a go-fund-me to pay for the apartment?

Why not jail facebook employees for not making it mandatory to view said go-fund-me to pay for the apartment?

Why not jail the elementary school teacher who took a job in a different town many years ago, thus depriving the poor victim of a different path in life.

Why not simply jail anyone with more than the homeless person, to achieve full societal equity?

Honestly I'm not sure why people use such long prompts. I find it way easier to iterate on prompts when they're short and you just change a few key words to find the words that have the biggest impact on the generated images. It's really easy to fire off a bunch of prompts and queue a bunch of MJ jobs.
"lose control of yourself" is the problem. If you're doing it in public and shitting everywhere, you've lost control of yourself. If you can't work to pay for your habit because you're too zonked to show up, you've lost control of yourself. If you get evicted because you can't work because of your habit, you've lost control of yourself. If you start robbing people to support your habit, you've lost control of yourself. If drugs become your #1 thing in life and nothing else matters, you've lost control of yourself.

They're a scourge because they're make you feel really good. Then they make you feel just good. Then they don't make you feel anything, but if you stop, you feel like shit, so you can't stop. Now you have a lifelong addiction that will never quit nagging you. If you stop for a while then slip up just once, you can OD and die because your body lost some immunity to it. They can grab ahold of anyone at any time. They can make you do really unethical things you never would have done if it wasn't for the habit. It's a really dirty trick. Alcohol is the same way.

If you do drugs and can keep your shit together, power to you. I would just suggest to be mindful of who's in control: you or the habit.
This seems very complex given that I know little about accounting. Obviously, you'd need to invent some kind of standardized test for real data.

For example, if you administered a leetcode style examination to me, even at the easy level, I'd probably fail miserably compared to an AI.

However, I am a far more competent professional programmer than an AI.

Is accounting all just rote knowledge? Is there some degree of correctness that can be measured?

Will be interested to see what you come up with if you plan to put data behind your business model.
If nothing else changes, this will just mean increased competition between services to not become the one being cancelled, i.e. every service trying to make cancelling as unpleasant as possible.
I had fairly infamous lowsec and nulsec PvP runs throughout the years but as newbie-friendly groups popped up it was harder and harder to find fights that weren’t just blobs of T1 frigates rushing you.

I had a great time while it lasted and hope something like Star Citizen can bring back some of that fun with more
