Nice job! We're building something similar for SQLite databases at https://www.airsequel.com. It's not mentioned on the landing page yet, but in our SQL workbench you can already use an AI prompt to generate SQL queries. We think it's important to also show the SQL query and make it editable so that the user can immediately fix simple errors, which is often faster than re-prompting.

We're also working on AI assisted initial database generation (aka dump any data and let the AI figure out how to build up a database from it) and AI assisted Charts / Dashboard generation, which will both be released soon!
This is my dialect! We’ve always attracted linguists because of our unique mix of cultures. For instance, we have lots of words for turkey - guíjalo/guajalote (and various combinations of the two), pavo, ganso real, cócono, and yes, even torque.
I think it will be quite a few years before an LLM is built into their silicon.

But I do see a Neural Engine 2.0 in the future that will better handle these things in the more near term future.
I agree 100% that this is a good thing. I had intended this as a compliment that Tidyverse had achieved this level of maturity, but failed in my under-caffeinated state. Had Tidyverse 2.0.0. been a revolution, I'd have been worried.

Really? The efficiency is very low heating a house with wood unless you use it to warm water which is distributing the heat to radiators (and for heating warm water to the showers). Almost no-one who burns wood has this, people just have a chimney in the living room.

And how do you feed the wood into the burner? Waste 10 minutes every hour, 24/7?

Do not do create an U.S. corporation until you have a screaming business reason to do so.

Reason: U.S. tax reporting requirements create high accounting costs.

Your problem is not “controlled foreign corporation” status. That’s only for U.S. persons who are shareholders of non-U.S. corporations.

Your primary tax returns will be Form 1120 (the income tax return for a corporation) and Form 5472 (required when a U.S. corporation has at least one non-U.S. shareholder owning 25%+ of the stock).

Form 5472 is the anti-transfer pricing form used by the U.S. tax system to make sure that taxable income remains in the USA to get taxes. Penalties for screwing this up are steep: $25,000.

This means you will want to hire competent tax professionals. Competent U.S. international tax specialists tend to be rare and expensive.

Your tax reporting will also get more complicated in Germany.

I am a big believer in doing things correctly. Future You will reap the rewards that Today You made possible through hard work and solid foundations. Life is a marathon with no finish line.

That said, there are different gradients of “correct” at each stage of business growth.

I don’t know where you are now. I don’t know your revenue, your business needs, your product, where your customers are, whether you will hold this business forever or are building to be acquired, etc.

I will give you a data point for you to make a management decision, because this is a management decision and not an engineer decision. You are making a decision with significant opportunity cost to it, even if it is the correct decision.

Here you go. Money. Order of magnitude for a tax return for a simple U.S. corporation with ownership as you describe and minimal transactions between you and the corporation and the corporation and the outside world. $10,000. Reason: Form 5472. That’s the peak of the bell curve.

Opportunity cost of time and brain damage. 40 hours of your time per year (or pay someone and buy their time). You could be building a product or creating new customers.

At some point you need the infrastructure. Choosing the right time to buy it? That’s hard and there is no right answer.

You can also screw over your creditors without declaring bankruptcy. Just stop paying your bills. Elon is famous for not paying creditors at twitter. Bankruptcy is just a way to get relief from creditors and prevent them from suing you.
> The thing with copyright is, it seems to me: You cannot ask for them to change the rules. You just have to break them.

Absolutely. Break them and support the people who facilitate the disobedience. Fuck the copyright lobby, fuck publishers, and fuck anyone who gets in the way of me reading what I want in whatever form I want.

The people who are preventing you from reading what you want in the form you want it are not protecting some sacred system of authorship reward. They have no ethos. They are simply protecting the interest of their masters, for pay.
This phonetical change occured in Ancient Greek. For example, the root helio- "sun" stems from earlier sawelio-. This change also occured in French, for example, the French word for "forest" is now pronounced without -s- and at some point it had -h-. This sound change occured in Sanskrit, where final -s became -h

It's called debuccalization and it's very common in many languages.
I believe there is an overnight camping experience in Antarctica of you come on one of the tourist cruise ships. I always thought this was funny because the sun never sets so I imagine you're just sitting in a fully lit tent until someone comes to tell you it's morning and time to go back aboard the ship.

There is probably still a limit, because you need to breath fresh air.

A human breathes at about 6 liter/minute. In terms of mass and converting to seconds, that's 0.1293 gram/second.

Heat capacity of air is 0.7 Joules per gram per kelvin. So the power needed to heat up incoming air 1 degree kelvin is 0.1293*0.7=0.09051 Watt.

Times a hundred (-60C to body temperature), that's 9 watt. Since the human body produces about 100 watt of heat in total, that's maybe still feasible. But having that percentage of your body heat being drawn out through your airways and lungs is getting dangerous.

And it gets colder on Antarctica. And exertion will speed up breathing.

Researchers on Antarctica apparently deal with by breathing through snorkels that pass through their jacket, so that the rest of the body can help to heat up the air:

https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn24731-coldest-place-o...

Perhaps it would also be possible to recover some of the heat in exhaled air, by passing it through a heat exchanger for the incoming air.
Knowing what I know now I would wear an N95 if I were doing any strenuous roadside cycling. Same for yard work that stirs up a lot of dust or generally during pollen season.
Just as an additional test for contextual understanding, I asked ChatGPT "What's controversy surrounded the White Sox?" It correctly identified the 1919 Chicago Black Sox scandal, but then it went on a complete tangent about how the Chicago White Sox logo is controversial because it is racially insensitive and promotes negative stereotypes about Native Americans.

To my knowledge, the ChiSox have never had any Native American based logo and I suspect it is conflating them with another team.

While we probably lost the New Mexican Spanish after the civil war when the family moved to arizona fr nm, I have the same thing going on.

Dad wouldn’t talk to me in Spanish when I was little - I only heard him speaking it when talking to family on the phone.

Add that to the fact that until I was 9 we were away from the family and I don’t have much

At least my grandparents would talk to me in Spanish so what’s in there is all because of them.

And same experience with HS Spanish - they talk funny this doesn’t sound like anything I know.
If I remember correctly e can be defined as the limit of (1+(1/X)^x as x approaches infinity, so could simply plug in a very large x to approximate. Super simple, but something you have to know, and not very useful in the typical se job. these kind of trivia maths questions are really obnoxious.

Freight Cost, Robotics, Oil Price, Lead Time. I dont think every business will move back, but for some it makes a lot more sense. With interest rate and oil price I am not sure if the current freight cost are sustainable. Robotics have improved tremendously over the past 5 years, it wasn't because we cant automate something, it was simply the time and cost of those automation means less labours are required.

The next frontier will likely be electricity price affecting OPEX. ( it has always been the case but never gotten media attention ) For the rest, read [1] alephnerd's answer.

exactly. if the planets in the habitable zone had that kind of orientation, where would the livable zones be located? or a planet that was tidally locked to the sun like the moon is to the earth? a circadian rhythm would seem to be non-existent. equatorial life seems like it would be the optimal locations
Really cool story to be a part of. Reminds me of how Creole formed.
Under the hood, the tidyverse is comprised of many packages, some very large and sprawling, like ggplot, and others that do one single thing (readr). Here’s a list: https://www.tidyverse.org/packages/

Individual packages can be used in isolation, if that’s what you need. However, they complement each other nicely, in that they share data representations and similar conventions while handling different facets of data analysis. Thus, people often import the whole thing in one shot as the tidyverse and go from there. For example, you might read the data in with readr, clean it up with tidyr or dplyr, analyze it with tidymodels, and plot the results with ggplot.

The python equivalent would be a hypothetical meta-package that tightly integrates pandas, seaborn, and sklearn.
My thoughts are publishers won't be interested in suing such a library. Courts would be lenient and public support stronger. But once you start sharing bestsellers economics changes for everyone.
The whole point of such investments is to be siphoned. You can't directly pay a bribe (do it enough and at a large enough size and you open yourself to FCPA violations which block access to Western markets by making you toxic and piercing the corporate veil) but you can always loop contracting companies owned by the political elite of your country.

This is why Chinese construction consortiums in Sri Lanka built infrastructure in Rajapraksa's home district and why a Chinese consortium bought a 49% stake in Hondutel - Honduras's primary mobile provider, which is owned by the family of the husband (and former President) of the current President of Honduras.

American companies used to do this as well (eg. According to a close relative, DEC's India operation would always use MSPs affiliated with senior Indian Air Force officials to land deals. When the US cracked down on such tactics with the amended FCPA in 1998, those contracts went to Israeli companies instead even after the Kargil sanctions were lifted).
I posted a link in an earlier part.

But basically instead of just "Oh, we're just saying some prayers for your dead granny..." -- which I think everyone would be fine with, it's the Mormons saying, "Oh, we're saying some prayers for your dead granny... because without true Mormon salvation she'd be burning in hell forever."

The Mormons also have "stand-ins" that they baptize in place of the person. Usually kids. So a kid goes up and says, "I'm so-and-so, grandmother of such-and-such..." and then they get dunked in a tub. And it also serves to further indoctrinate the kids... who are re-baptized a bunch of times.

My view... all religions are nutty. Not sure where we draw a line on any of them. But I don't really care what people do in the privacy of their own temple, or what internet archives they want to spend their time transcribing. If it lets them sleep a bit better knowing my dead great grandmother is with her family in Heaven... that's great. Or at least, it's no going to hurt her any. (=
It's up to the state what you charge at each percent.
You don't need to give a discount for lower margins, you can't simply up the rate at higher margins i.e 1% above current base for every 10% margin above 0.

Also the point is to disincentivise gouging, Walmart doesn't need to be given a lower rate just because Microsoft is charged more.

As to corporate mergers, if the state feels it is a tax dodge it can either veto the merger, or stipulate that each part be taxed as an independent entity.

Not to mention that Microsoft would probably prefer to reduce it's margins by just charging less (slashing revenues by 20% should more than halve the tax burden and likely strengthen it's market hold) or pour profits into R&D than to merge with a less profitable company.

And that's before you get into the mess that a giant tech/retail merger would entail.
Small sellers aren’t worth even going after until they reach a certain size for huge swaths of the regulatory regime.

See, for example, UL/CE and FCC regulations - unless they burn something down or interfere with emergency services, businesses can usually defer the regulatory cost till they can afford it. Or the FAA, which gives out slaps on the wrist like its going out of style, as long as the offender is not an airline.

Case in point: many countries allows underage family members to work for family businesses and even the ones that don’t, barely enforce it. A factory hiring dozens of kids? That’s a lot less likely to go unnoticed.

I would say that the person who says "we'll just document the process and people will follow it" is not a software engineer but a "manager" - someone who thinks they can offload their difficult bits to employees. The software engineer wants to offload their difficult parts to silicon. And would love the opportunity to code up a "process engine" that would ensure people can easily follow the process online.

The takeaway for me is that managers who think they can offload to people have missed the tide - coders are the new managers because their workers are silicon, don't complain and so as they are told

coders are the new managers because CPUs are the new workers.
I hated math for most of my childhood. I tested into an advanced track and had to be sequestered into lower level courses in the next higher grade do to a lack of effort.

Then when I hit college and had Discrete and Calculus, I found out I loved it and wound up minoring in math. Though my arithmetic is still slow and my trig has major gaps in it due to school math just sucking in general.
Launch windows generally aren't open-ended and typically only last a few hours because they are orbit-dependent. That's why when a launch is scrubbed, a window often doesn't open again until days later.

Production systems based on ownership and monopolistic exclusion of knowledge are "anti-resilient". i.e. the opposite of "anti-fragile". They start off strong, because having exclusive ownership over knowledge is a capital subsidy. Then they weaken: less competitive firms are knocked out of competition, and because they own the knowledge behind their work, the work is lost as well. By the end of this process you have one or two surviving companies that own everything and can make their own problems the market's problems.
As far as medical therapy goes, sure. Otherwise I'm sure the OpenAI devs have in place proper filters for questions pertaining to sensitive personal data, or sensitive health related questions. There is nothing wrong in providing general "life advice" as it were, and then add a caveat such as "if your condition is serious, you should seek professional medical advice." Further more, I'm sure they have the extra cash on hand to hire medical professionals who can better formulate such caveats based on flagged inputs.
