There were companies that enabled "selling" the parking space that you currently occupy, but cities successfully argued that on-street parking specifically (and city-owned parking generally) belongs to the city and these companies were issued cease and desist orders.
I had precalculus in 11th grade, and calculus 1 in 12th grade. This was in the early 1980s. We had calculators, but they were simple TI-30[1] type. One line digital display, no graphics. All the problem sets (and graphs) were done on paper.

(I would call this a specific subset of making sure the group really knows what it is doing because the group can really know what it is doing but have that task they excel at be really bad for some secondary reason)
They didn’t need a detailed simulation all they needed was to import 2d dxf’s of the planes into the terminal drawing and see if they fit. I bet requirements changed and no one reviewed those last 4 gates before construction docs were printed.

The end of a myth: Distributed transactions can scale
Having lived in the boondocks on America, I'm confident it will remain legal to sell and drive regular cars, both for practical and ideological reasons.

It may be that those cars are prohibited in big cities or are prohibitively expensive to insure in a city, but they won't go away entirely.
It also needs to flush TLB entries. Changing permissions on page table entries is unfortunately a bit more complicated than just twiddling some bits.
you are 30 minutes from home for a 15 minute appointment and do not like waiting for your car.

do you:

- send the car home

no, it would only get halfway home before the end of your appointment

- send it on a rideshare journey

let's say (conservatively, and according to some minimum regulations from the rideshare service) it gets assigned a job after 5 minutes to drive somebody 10 minutes away. it finishes its job at the same time as your appointment ends. you have to wait 10 minutes for it to return to you. again no.

- send it to a parking lot

assuming the parking lot is 5 minutes away and you can tell it to return 5m before your appointment ends this seems reasonable

- drive circles around your appointment

all the benefits of sending it to the parking lot but requires even less effort as you no longer have to remember to tell it your appointment is finishing.

now apply this logic to the general public. what is the most likely outcome?
Is there a joke or reference that I'm missing? Genuinely curious here.
The examples here vary in how bad they are...

Like, "crypto" is understandable, the technology is somewhat related and it was the non-technical people (who have very little exposure to the "cryptography" context) that shortened the long form into the current version, so not much that can be done by the tech side...

LoRa is a slightly worse but also understandable. The radio communication tech is Lo(ng) Ra(nge) (with just L and R capitalized). The ML stuff is Lo(w) R(ank) A(daptation) (with L, R, and A capitalized). Annoying, but probably still not intentional.

And then, there's "grep" here...
Like, clearly the authors know about the older usage... and it's not like there's a case of some coincidental shortening...
The "physiological insulin resistance" meme only started because so many people going on low-carb (and especially high-fat keto) diets saw worse fasting BG and A1C numbers, which flied directly in the face of the common-sense (but completely wrong) assumption that excess carbohydrate consumption is the primary cause of insulin resistance:

>Wait, I cut carbs out almost completely, why are my numbers getting worse?

Because you're eating more fat, and probably more saturated fat in particular, which means more intramyocellular lipids, and hence, you're becoming more insulin resistant. Cutting the carbohydrate consumption only masks the IR, at best. The simplest explanation is that "phsiological IR" is just plain-old insulin resistance: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6602127/

> OGTT is useless

It's probably the best cheap test for clinically diagnosing insulin resistance:
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23327814/

Fasting BG, fasting insulin, and HbA1C only measure blood sugar control, which severe carbohydrate restriction can sometimes obtain, but without actually reversing the underlying pathology of IR. An OGTT, by contrast, measures your insulin response to a bolus of glucose in real time.
Machinery and automation also increased the output of individual workers but workers don't own the means of production so they didn't see the benefits of increased income. If you think engineers are any different then I've got a chatbot to sell you
>Law is seen as the lucrative profession perhaps most at risk from the recent advances in A.I. because lawyers are essentially word merchants.

Many professions can be reduced to "$x Merchants". This reduction amounts to saying that the said profession does not require creativity/understanding/synthesis. I'd say a good lawyer is much more than a word merchant. He/she is a synthesizer of existing body of knowledge to create novel arguments. Loosely speaking, this type of activity seems NP hard.

Now ChatGPT++ may be coming for those layer of most professions (programming and law included) that can be reduced to "lookup".

However if you believe (as I do) that there are layers within most professions that are _more_ than lookup, and if those deeper layers solve some kind of an NP hard problem at their center (novel argument/theorem/algo/architecture...)
then a lookup tool like ChatGPT would necessarily find it hard to address them.

I'm obviously using things like "NP Hard" rather loosely and also assuming that AI, at least to the extent it uses training data, is no more than a lookup tool.
In the old days where the executive who’s pet was this type of construction project, it’d have been painfully obvious in the obligatory scale model across the room.

Another thing you can try which is readily testable is Pokémon.

So in the Pokémon games, different Pokémon have different stats, for example attack, defence, speed, and so on.

I would ask gpt to list in a table pokemon with more than a specific amount in a stat like >150 attack for example.

It routinely can print Pokémon in a table that matches the criteria, but it misses some out or includes wrong ones.

When you point it out it agrees with you and will try to reprint the table but each time there are some errors, missing Pokémon, Pokémon incorrectly added.

The dataset is very well known so it’s a good benchmark of correctness. Example: https://pokemondb.net/pokedex/all

Building a Budget Red Team Implant for Fun
Maybe it was on purpose, as by cutting the size of four gates to handle all but the largest aircraft, net-net you get a whole extra gate or two. I was about to snark about project anti-patterns and blame weak parenting for raising generations of worms, but I'd be willing to bet instead of 18 total gates, you get 20 gates by giving up some of the largest ones.

Accepting the economics of maybe 10-15% of aircraft as a design constraint on all gates seems unwise, and maybe some climate people figured the same.
The argument is that the technical requirements given to the construction company do not match the requirements currently being stated by the Port:

> “The Port is now identifying modifications to gate design based on operational considerations that were not contemplated in the program requirements in our contract,” [a Clark Construction representative] wrote.

> Clark’s latest legal brief, filed in late February, asserts that the contract documents defining the work “specifically state that Clark was to design the Project to accommodate narrowbody aircraft at Gates A6 and A8, not widebody aircraft.”

traffic apocalypse

I think this would ultimately be for the best. If the streets clogged up so severely with traffic then the value of owning a car would drop precipitously. Even if car owners lobbied successfully to widen all the streets the traffic would just expand to fill the available capacity.

People would finally be forced to seek alternatives!

You don't, and it is not desirable. The Leitner system was devised before powerful enough computers were widely available.
His efficiency data is tarnished by the leak. It was doing its best, but it was leaking, so it probably had to work harder to get the proper temperature. Also, he's comparing year over year - years have differences in weather. He's comparing one year's gas furnace use to 9 years of heat pump use - this is not a great comparison. Also, if he'd have had solar, or some other source of electricity, that was cleaner, say nuclear or solar or wind, it would be a lot less.
Yep. Most things most users do on our computers could be done just fine on a computer from 10 years ago. I think we're on a performance treadmill like this:

- Developers get new, fast devices (yay). We make our software just fast enough to run smoothly (enough) on our own devices. Then we ship it.

- Users' computers are slower than the developers' computers. Users experience is bad because the software is slow.

- Users buy new computers too. Money is poured into R&D for even faster computers.

- Hardware companies release faster hardware

- Developers buy new, fast computers

And the cycle continues.

For general purpose computing, there's not really any meaningful difference between my computer today and my computer 15 years ago. But I can't use that old computer, because modern programs don't work well on it any more. I can't imagine how slow modern Discord or Microsoft Teams would run on my old 2012 macbook air - even though that machine is orders of magnitude faster than the computer I was using to chat on IRC in the late 90s.

I'm low key convinced that if computers and phones stopped getting faster tomorrow, the software industry would grumble but get on with things and adapt. Users wouldn't really notice anything change, except we'd all be richer because we would no longer need to buy new computers every few years.

There's a few notable exceptions of course: modern AI, video production & animation, and massive cloud services (like Google and Netflix) who actually optimize their code. I'm on the fence about compilers - do LLVM & rustc really need to be that slow? Netflix might never make it to 8k video (boo hoo). And ray traced video games might not happen. But the average consumer would probably be delighted. And the savings to the environment would be insane.

There are companies around that offer VIN re-coding by mail order if you need to swap one of the computers, but you'd have to be in a fairly big metro area to profitably run a company just doing electronic trouble shooting. It's easier just to "fire the parts cannon" after the usual suspects (dead sensors, shorted wiring) have been accounted for.

Having had a 2006 model car in my workshop forever rebuilding the engine, I have though it might be worthwhile starting a business doing that kind of trouble shooting but nobody will want to pay, because the vehicles involved are inevitably old and worthless. It's fun to do it for yourself, but as a business your typical customer who needs you won't be able to justify paying you.

My other thought was to possibly set up the tools and whatnot to support local businesses in doing that kind of troubleshooting on older cars but building the knowledge and tools to distribute would be a very expensive exercise.
You're saying something that the low carb advocates already know.. but let's be clear it's not this underlying pathology that causes the damage.. it's the high blood sugar that causes the damage.. the high blood sugar is basically reversed by keto diets.. problem is that keto can put weight on you very easy because it's high fat and you can eat a lot of fat very quickly and get a lot of calories that way.. also keto is very hard to stay on for a long periods of time.. now lots of people will reply to me and say oh look at me my personal example look at my brother or whatever.... this is basically worthless data that you're giving me about your brother about you or whatever

A big issue here is "production" is basically anything that happens in front of a computer. Individual workers will be fired, yes, but entire companies, sectors even, can now be made obsolete overnight. What happens when thinking is no longer a requirement for any job?
I don't understand what you intend these papers to demonstrate. Surely the fact that the level of hand-holding they propose (both Self-Refine and Reflexion offload higher-order reasoning to a hand-crafted process) is so helpful even on extremely simple tasks demonstrates that a great deal of hand-holding is required for complex tasks. That these techniques improve upon the baseline tells us that ChatGPT is incapable of doing this sort of simple higher-order thinking internally, and the fact that the augmented models still offer only middling performance on the target tasks suggests that "not that much handholding" (as you describe them) is insufficient.

The bit in the article about being unable to communicate with the car made me think of the LLM wave. A screen on the front and back of the car could provide feedback about what it’s currently trying to do in a situation like this rather than just blinking hazard lights. Using voice recognition to feedback it can interact with people yelling at it, giving at least a qualitative feedback loop to other users on the road. The dispiriting nature of encountering a blocking car and not knowing what it’s planning to do or responding to honks etc is something that can now be fixed.

> He did. And he also convincing lost the next election.

A little bit of a correction needed here. Morrison brought the lump of coal to parliament in February 2017 [1] when he was the treasurer in Turnbull's government. A year and a half later, in August 2018, he betrayed Turnbull during a leadership contest (initiated by another contender) and became PM. He then went on to win the next election as PM, in May 2019. It wasn't until the following election (May, 2022) that he got booted out.

So that makes a bit over 5 years between his lump of coal stunt and losing power (2 elections later). I agree that his obnoxious, non-serious antics in the renewable energy / fossil fuel debate contributed to the rise of the 'Teal' independents that were pivotal in his loss of the 2022 election, but I don't think that stunt was a proximate cause, as you seem to be suggesting.
