By the time there is a dent, it's too late.
I'd be more concerned about bridges than parking garages. With a garage it's not unreasonable to weigh vehicles as they enter and stop permitting admissions when the total load has exceeded the weight. You activate your No Vacancy sign until someone leaves. Of course that means you need to weigh cars on their way out as well.

There's not a solution like that for a bridge without seriously impacting traffic flow. Many of our bridges in the States have below a "C" rating. A couple have already collapsed, but that's still considered an irregularity. When can we expect them to start collapsing on a regular bases?

Can we modify the oral vaccine (virus) to be more resistant to mutation? Specifically, I'm thinking there is a lot of redundancy in the codon table - mapping triplets to amino acids. If we increase the levenshtein distance between the vaccine-virus and the bad one without changing its protein structure it should reduce the likelihood of reverting back in the wild.
This would seem to suggest that it's not a problem with the vaccine but with the level of sanitation. The one big relevant difference here is that in developed countries we had flush toilets and sewer systems carrying effluent away from the populace, which may not be true in places that still have polio. So OPV could work but doesn't not because it's ineffective but because the polio-rich effluent produced by vaccinated people isn't being carried away from them effectively.

So maybe the best way to eradicate polio is to build sewers and septic systems.

The retractable point does nothing. If your leg moves in such a way that squeezes the top, you'll end up with a hole in your pocket. I know, because I did this and ruined my pocket in one of my jeans.

The heavy metal construction is also extremely abrasive. If I ever accidentally put my phone into the pocket with the GraphGear 1000, the screen protector would crack.

As I said earlier: its a great pencil for writing / desk usage. But in my experience, its terrible to carry it around all day, especially in a pocket.

---------

Pentel Kerry still has a sharp point... but the cap mechanism is just more "correctly braindead" in regards to protecting your pockets from the sharp point. The cap also balances out the Kerry to an appropriate "swing-weight / balance" for writing.

GraphGear 1000 is actually very well balanced for writing, though the heft / weight might surprise someone. Its a joy to use, until you get a hole in your pocket.

This is a first course in quantum computing, and doesn't require a background in physics. For what it is, it certainly looks like challenging course, though. University of Texas at Austin must have some good students.

Still, a lot (a majority) of the exam questions were "word problems", or problems where you take a short mathematical step, based on you being familiar with the concepts and definitions. In short, the type of problems where GPT's pattern matching and filling does well. For the few problems where a longer calculation (actually solving a math/physics problem) was required, GPT performed poorly.
> Folks recommend the really cheap platinum preppy pens, but be warned they are super scratchy.

The reason people recommend the platinum is that its cheap and its cap system is especially good for avoiding dry-out. To me, the platinum preppy feels like a rounded pencil. I think its a good pen, but my reservation is that the plastic is a bit brittle on the preppy. I'd personally probably go with the Pilot Kakuno, or the more expensive Platinum prefonte, or if you're really worried about costs, the interesting and fraught world of Chinese fountain pens

> I would go a size up from what you normally prefer wrt to nib (if you are new, try M as F and EF are extremely scratchy IMHO).

This is a feature of all the Japanese pens - they tend to have a finer grind. The European and other pens (e.g., Lamy) are about what you expect.

> Finally, I don't love the metropolitan. Feels great in the hand but I always find myself reaching for the smooth writing I get from my Eco.

The Metropolitan is a love-or-hate pen for some people, due to hand feel. I personally like it. If you can hold one, that'd be best. I think a couple of things make the Metro a better beginning pen than the Eco, if you like how it feels in your hand. It's cheaper; its got a metal body and cap (can be banged around), its got better QC (The first Eco I was given had the infamous 'barrel crack'. The second just flat didn't write. I'm a bit miffed at the brand), It can take cartridges or its included converter-sac, and it is by far one of the easiest pens to tear down and clean. The Eco can be taken apart with its special wrench too, but people commonly crack it in the process.

I just wish pilot sold the nibs separately for repair, like Lamy does, of TWSBI does with their more expensive pens.

For the crowd around here: I'd also say that one of the joys of a fountain pen is that you can tune, smooth, and even grind your own nibs if you're that adventurous.
While the test itself may not have been posted online, read the individual questions. They are extremely common topics on the internet and I wouldn't be surprised if the contents of this test are 100x+ replicated across different QM material that's available.

I've been based in London since 2018. One thing that I have noticed in the past year (apart from the overall abysmal state of the job market) is that IT salaries have actually went way down. When I moved, I started at a higher salary than what's shown as ranges for a lot of jobs now 5 years later. All London based roles and I'm talking about positions across the board from junior to senior and beyond. That in combination with COVID, inflation, IR35 etc. has wrecked everything.

> We rarely get out of the coding question block. It's a fairly simple question that ChatGPT solves easily.

well I guess now we know why its all so brutal. We are being compared to a state of the art AI. Also we gotta have a compiler installed on our heads.
That aside, if you are a hiring manager, ask yourself what your company really needs. Because this format of interview is so outdated, its insane.
No. This problem seems like advanced reasoning, but its really not. First, the actual answer would be that the traveler dies, because the atoms in the wifes heart get reset to their original location, so time traveler emerges without a heart and just dies. So right there is evidence that AGI is not reasoning, and is providing the probabilistic text.

How its going about that is not readily evident, but if you think about the text its been trained on, there is a large number of works that essentially contain time traveling paradoxes and things being displaced, which chatgpt "understands" through both the actual word and the position of the word in regards to others, so it picked out that the heart is the issue, picked out the relation of the heart to the wife, and then generated the text around it.

> No, it is not.

Bold statement for something subjective. I think you are confusing design and art (from your own experience or misfortune). The processes of visual design have informed (or formalised) the design as a process in other fields. Artists have a style as a function. Designers (visual or not) have process. No one is great at everything. Mediocre designers are either too visual or not at all (especially the latter), in my experience. Good to great designers grasp both and have breath. Even the ones that don't have art as a function can direct, steer and brief the art of a project (or be resourceful with it.) But you can't have design without process.

Right, which is why, by definition, if a person's job improves revenue or profit (i.e. "numbers go up") then it isn't "pointless" or "unnecessary," therefore it isn't a bullshit job. Thanks for clearing that up.

I'm not surprised, it usually takes many words of English to describe very little code.

For example, changing "greater than" to "greater than or equal to" might require only a single bit of change in the machine code.
HTTP header names are case-insensitive, and traditionally (e.g. HTTP/1.1) I've always seen them encoded in title-case.

However -- and perhaps to your point -- HTTP/2 still specifies them as case-insensitive, but requires that over the wire, they are converted to lowercase.

Except nope, it's an API design problem. If you write a std::vector or equivalent but where reserve has analogous behaviour to Vec::reserve you can't do Vec::reserve_exact at all and that can really hurt in other cases.

There really are two distinct features and C++ specifies a single API call.
"The use of the "Carbon-Emissions-Scope-2" header field does not introduce any new security risks" - I think this is just incorrect.

Knowing how much a single request is producing carbon emissions tells you immediately which operations are going to be costly to a business.

You could enumerate a site's tree, find the most taxing operation, and then hammer it, because carbon-emission is short-hand for cost.

Close, but it's a bit more specialized to just work on HN:

- Examples of unwanted content

- Then I give a large numbered list of comments and ask which numbers should be filtered

- The plugin then just deletes those comment nodes from the DOM. If HN ever updates their HTML I will have to tweak this code.

The reason to send a large list of comments is just to save on costs. It's cheaper to do it this way than one comment at a time.

So the main difference from what you've proposed is GPT never sees the HTML. My code enumerates the comments in the HTML and splices them in to the prompt in a nice numbered list, then does the reverse translation from list number to DOM element in the other direction.
Okay that would make sense, but that does support my original comment, which was:

Not sure about tires, but atleast here, the seller has to deal with warranties, even if the warranty is made by the manufacturer... so if i buy a Sumsing(TM) phone, I don't have to drive half a country away for them to service it, but I can just drop it at the shop I bought it at and have them deal with it.

If something warranty-worthy happened with a tire, I'd just take it to the dealer and have them deal with it.
It the required temperature ranges.

Keeping something on ice is much easier than storing at a precise temperature range and not freezing it.

The oral polio vaccine (OPV)
----------------------------

Contains live, attenuated virus

Should be frozen. If thawed but still cold--below 8 C (46 F)--refreeze immediately. Place in freezer on arrival. If thawed and warm--above 8 C (46 F) [1]

Maintain continuously in the frozen state--14 C (7 F) or lower. The vaccine may be refrozen. A maximum of 10 freeze-thaw cycles are permissible provided the total cumulative duration of thaw does not exceed 24 hours, and provided the temperature does not exceed 8 C (46 F) during the period of thaw. [1]

Vaccine in liquid state in unopened dispettes may be used for up to 30 days provided it has been stored at 2 -8 C (35 -46 F). A maximum of 10 freeze- thaw cycles are permissible provided the total cumulative duration of thaw does not exceed 24 hours and provided the temperature does not exceed 8 C (46 F) during the period of thaw. [1]

Cost of $0.11 - $0.20 per dose. [2]

Inactivated Poliovirus Vaccine (IPV)
------------------------------------

Refrigerate immediately on arrival. Store at 2 -8 C (35 -46 F). Do not freeze. [1]

Should not be frozen. Refrigerate on arrival. [1]

Shelf Life after Reconstitution, Thawing, or Opening - Ampoule: Discard if not used immediately. Vial: Until outdated, if not contaminated. [1]

Cost of $1.50 - $3.79 per dose [3]

I wonder if finding a job was easier in 90s and 2000s.

It feels like finding employment is getting harder and harder. There is much more specialization required nowadays (so many YOE in exactly the same field and software frameworks), rapidly shifting trends (that can leave out many people who are not lucky working in an area that is in demand), elevated expectations (see the number of the rounds of interviews) and increased competition (more and more people having access to the same jobs due internet).

Not necessarily. I'm describing the current situation, as I understand it. There's nothing stopping a future system from having the same abilities as a human to decode meaning from words, or to do anything else. But I for one would like to know exactly how such a system would work, and why it would have the capabilities it would have. I don't think that's a particularly high bar to clear, for technology and science. The whole point of both is to figure out how things work, and how to make them work like we want.
