The greed motive has nothing to do with conspicuous consumption or work ethics, or risk management. He is most definitely motivated by greed, regardless of how he expends the money or perceive risk. I'd go further and say no one who lives on a salary can really grasp how a billionaire calculates risk.
>How to solve this? Hard to say.

There is one solution that bypasses politics, bureaucracy, or having to assign people to protect things: let people have reasonable access to firearms and legal recourse in their use to defend themselves and property.

The vast majority of people are normal, decent human beings that won't resort to shooting each other at every argument. The rest would probably pursue deadly force even if they didn't have access to firearms. Yes, US has a disproportionally a larger number of those due to our culture, but the way to fix that is to let former people arm themselves and the problem will be minimized.
All the salary benchmarks. If you look at the trends overall (not entry level, those have dropped 4%, and not outliers, the $300k+ folks) compared to last year, it’s up. For how long I can’t say. I do think there will be a downtick in general for all folks but there’s still a lot of companies looking for talent. Whether or not they still have the budget is yet to be seen outside of FAANG and co. Most won’t know until end of quarter at best.

Not everyone had their chips in FTX and SVB. People are still hiring.

For most of us the best pen is the one that is functional and within reach when we need it. Everything else is just for fun or for show. It's nice to know what artists and people who regularly spend hours writing things out by hand think about specific brands/models, but I can't justify the expense of getting anything too fancy when I can go many many months without even touching a pen or a pencil and none of them are so advanced that they can make up for my bad handwriting.

More specifically there can be no separation between how something looks and how it works, they're bonded (and for good reason). There is no scenario where you can actually fully break the two apart. Any attempt to try harms one side or the other or both sides. How it works and how it looks go in tandem in all cases, they heavily influence eachother, either making the whole better or worse depending on how you go about creating for that reality.

Anybody telling you different is arguing from a pretty severe bias. If you're designing on the basis of how something works, and not also on how it looks at the same time, you're going to create a subpar outcome.

I guess I'll throw my anecdote in the pot. I used to live in SOMA Grand, the condo building sandwiched between the Federal Building and Trinity Towers, right around the corner from this Whole Foods. I left SF around 2015. I recently walked the neighborhood and holy shit it is much worse than I remembered. There is a methadone / treatment clinic on Minna, the alley between the Federal Building and the condo. So there's always been a few people coming or going from treatment, and a tent or two. But this time there had to be a hundred people or more crowded in the alley, hanging out on the steps of the Federal Building, and so on. I'm not sure if they were all there for the clinic but nobody seemed to be coming or going. People were openly burning trash on Market St. like some kind of dystopian 80s flick. I used to see active drug use maybe once a week; this time I saw it half a dozen times in two blocks. Maybe it has not changed in the last year or two, but as a former resident of the exact area under discussion, and one who's not unsympathetic to the plight of the homeless, the area has become unliveable.

I often miss the City and have found myself questioning the choices that led me away. After this last visit—no more!

To your point, I wonder if it is "boiling the frog." Maybe things didn't change that much in the last 2-3 years, but they sure have in the last 8.

I just resigned from Google. There’s no future with current leadership. I was a at high level (6), with an incredibly broad scope of responsibility, making an absurd amount of money. But life is too short to spend my days propping up a dying monopoly when there’s bigger game to chase.

It’s also institutionally arrogant, they really think they are the best, Jeff Dean and Urs are Gods, and no other company can do what Google does. OpenAI just destroyed that myth, yet on the inside they haven’t woken up to the change.
I had a Master System as well, but my glasses broke early on in my ownership, so I played Maze Hunter, Blade Eagle, and Missile Defnce without them. Eventually, I got accustomed to the odd look of everything being slightly doubled. When I finally got a new pair of glasses that worked, the 3D gameplay felt so odd that I preferred playing without them.

Very cool! Been wanting something like this for a while!

What's the Android support looking like? :)
Really cool stuff. I like how "heavy" the cards feel during the animation.

I've been working on something similar, but for arbitrary index card notes and played around with some very basic animations. You can see a quick video of it here [1]. After I got a basic prototype working, there was just something satisfying about collecting all the cards, shuffling them, and then re-distributing them into a grid.

I noticed that deck.of.cards doesn't have a flip animation, but maybe that's a good thing. The typical animation you see when a card is just flipped by rotating about one of the axes just "feels" wrong to me. It breaks the illusion somehow, but maybe there's a better way to do it.

Edit: You may need to hover over the GIF in the link to get the animation to start. Kind of unexpected behavior.
So in a year the US has sent more than Russia's yearly defence budget, yet Minsk (which one, even?) was needed to secretly (what was secret?) arm the Ukraine over 8 years? Who are the "right-wing paramilitary groups" and if they are Ukraine, since this is who you are alleging is being armed, why are they rebels if they are government-aligned?
I must be a philistine because with the primary example used on the landing page I actually prefer the bordered version. It seems clearer/cleaner to me. Maybe it's a vestige of growing up in the 90's writing Access applications on the side for dosh when I was a teenager?

You act like the "I can persist data" is the part that matters. It's the fact that I can from my pool of app servers post a unit of work to be done and be sure it will happen even if the app server gets struck down. It's the architecture of offloading work from your frontend whenever possible to work that can be done at your leisure.

For smaller datasets then anywhere up to a few mb which isn't so bad with an API, but in theory for historic data it could be up to several gb. I've not seen datasette go that high (IIRC it's a 1000 row return limit by default).

That's what got me intrigued with Atlassians offering, as data lakes tend to be something internal to a company, not something I've ever seen offered as an interaction point to users.

I've also tested out roapi [1] which is nice if the data is in some structured format already (Parquet/JSON)

I love Svelte and have been using it daily for about 3 years now.

But "superior"? That's extremely subjective.

HTMX might make more sense in certain views that don't need much interactivity. It would keep the JS size down because you only need to download the 14kB of HTMX once, for the whole application.

Work and accomplishing tasks is baked into our sense of purpose. Look at anyone who's long-term unemployed. They mostly lay around ths house playing video games or watching TV at best, or they get involved in criminal stuff at worst. Alcoholism and drug abuse are commonplace.

People need work to feel that their lives have meaning.

But they haven't exposed them to use. They are missing a tremendous opportunity. They have that unique unified memory model on the m1/m2 arms so they have something no other consumer devices have. If they exposed their neural chips they'd solidify their lead. They could sell a lot more hardware.
I'm not sure if this was your intention or not, but I feel like it could be an effective jailbreak where the true prompt is written as the letter inside the fictional story which itself is written in French, and the superficial prompt is to translate the story from French to English.

EDIT: It's true you can put whatever you want in that letter and in the continuation it will try to do it, bypassing at least some of the filters. I made some really funny ones that probably wouldn't be appropriate to put here. Some typical response is like "Now, let me be clear: I do not condone nor encourage [...].

Nope. No, it's not.

But also that help make twitter feel like a constant outrage factory that impacts negatively on a lot of people's mental health. I got off of twitter a year ago (deleted my account after 14 years,even) and I'm really appreciating mastodon's less addictive, less "lively"ness.

IMO yes it would be totally OK if Twitter allowed misinformation (on almost any topic) to run rampant. How did we get into the position of expecting a platform that explicitly gives microphones to a huge variety of people to then turn around and police those people to make sure they're not saying false things? What happened to "trust nothing you hear and only half of what you read"? Determining what is true and what is false is not the job of the platform, but the reader.

> Difference between Word Processor and text editor is in WYSIWYG mode of operation.

No, that's the difference between a page layout system and a word processor.
</graybeard>

More seriously, word processor is to the tuple (natural language, text editor) as IDE is to the tuple (programming language, text editor). WYSIWYG is a (very, now) common feature of word processors like visual designers are a common feature of an GUI development focussed IDEs, but its not the definition of the category.
I lived in SOMA until a year ago. We had a dog and I'd need to walk her in the evening, and before bed. I usually felt fine.

My wife on the other hand did not like walking the dog in the evening. More often than not she'd have some random creepy person follow her around and say weird shit to her. Nothing worse ever happened thankfully, but it was regular low key harassment for her.

We sold the place, to a single guy. We had a few couples interested, but in each case, the woman was worried about what it would be like after dark. Rightfully so based on my wife's experiences.

You keep trying to turn things into binary factors: it either is a high percent or it isn't, 100% protection or bust. That's not how this works.

The percentage of people who need to be vaccinated is based on many factors, including the degree of protection the vaccine provides. There's no one number, it varies based on the totality of the circumstances. One valid interpretation of the setbacks we've encountered in eradicating polio is that number needs to be a bit higher.

As you can see in this chart the level of vaccination, while high in many countries, could be higher. https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/polio-vaccine-coverage-of...

"The Aguilars wound up paying $3,546.64 out of pocket. The insurance company told us Wednesday that they "are reaching out to NorthBay Healthcare... to address these excessive charges.""

The shot normally costs ~$600 USD. There is no way the insurance in the end will pay the $54k the hospital tried to get away with.

Imagine all of your bugs were security bugs, hacking (and profiting from the results) was legal and incredibly lucrative, and (as a result) almost the entire available pool of testers was at best grey-hats each with their own political agenda. Even if you also had Designated Testers with lifetime appointments, would you expect them to do better in a year than a well-paid hacker could in a couple of weeks? Especially if the former category, though well-paid, is considerably understaffed and thus overworked, due in part to how hard it is to establish competence and good faith of a candidate?

I’m not sure this is a good metaphor, but I think the main thrust should be true: the whole thing is adversarial like you’ve never seen, and that’s not at all the best way to establish truth, just the best you can do without trust assumptions. (Law : science and engineering :: democracy : benevolent dictatorship.)

> Tens of thousands of people each year receive a series of shots to prevent rabies after a possible exposure. It normally costs between $1,200 and $6,800. Not in this case.

Even that "normal" cost is absolutely crazy.
The insurance company paid $58000 for the treatment? How the hell did they not get the hospital to get things fixed? My insurance made me submit proof, rejected it, submit proof again, partially approve, call them and then finally reimburse my $18 covid take home tests. But somehow they don’t do the same to hospitals?
> But also interesting it's failing to keep the intent of the whole sentence unlike 3.5

It's because it "knows too much". To anthropomorphise a little: its "expectations" of what should be. To anthropomorphise less: GPT-4 is overfitted. GPT-style language models are pretty amazing, but they're not a complete explanation of human language, and can't quite represent it properly.

it certainly seemed to me like there was a good portion of twitter that was just people promoting their substack newsletters, and most of the people they interact with are doing the same. it makes perfect sense for substack to try to bring that under their roof.
I have multiple communities I follow on Twitter and the ones that don't care about the elon stuff, they do now.
This is another of those cases which seem to be very clearly price gouging, which is illegal, unless you're a hospital.

The hospital should be subpoena'd to get the actual cost of treatment - both the vaccination, the amount paid to the ER staff during the time the patients were there, etc.

Also this BS where they can just say "out of respect for patient privacy we don't discuss billing matters", when the patient has provide explicit documentation and consent saying the hospital can discuss billing can also get shafted.
I see plenty of AI thought leaders posting on LinkedIn.
“Billing mistakes” happen way too often in this country and the hospitals don’t fix them that easily.
That's a shitty bill. It's also insane that US doctors and hospitals aren't required to post prices, keep prices reasonably within an allowed range, and are allowed to price gouge customers for however much they want without limit.

In Redding CA, I ran across a woman with a nasal infusion pump tube taped to her face in a coffee shop. She was hurriedly collecting paperwork for a hearing across the street. It turns out she was preparing to go through bankruptcy proceedings while she was dying from incurable Stage IV cancer. That the doctors and hospitals were vultures picking her life apart for money while she was dying but still alive and making her end-of-life as miserable as possible was adding insult to injury. Some hippocratic oath. More like hypocritical chisels out to monetize misery.

So when someone is out of money and dying in America, they are treated like criminals with court proceedings. At their hearing, they get a chance to justify their existence requires clothes, transportation, and housing while everything else goes to creditors.
I completely agree with this; but my understanding about how LLM work is that they don't copy meaningful segments of text from any specific source. Instead, they predict the next block of text, which they'd only do if they've seen that idea/sequence enough times with context to rank the prediction high enough.

I haven't seen any service copy out large block of text enough to make me think it's reasonable to call their output plagiarized.

Meaning, if the LLM I use will only repeat an idea that many someone's have written about, such that it's seen the idea, or parts of that idea many times. Why is that still plagiarism? Or rather, worthy of direct attribution? Or why was I wrong to use the argument about citing a dictionary here?

(I'm aware that a number of people are working on giving memory so AI can quote from pages like wikipedia. But I don't think it's fair to call that "training data")
I'm confident in 10 years we'll look back on this and laugh at how people thought AI would take over, and in 200 years we'll be upset they didn't do more
