>What kind of evidence would influence your opinion?

You can't influence my opinion because "I'll believe it when I see it." is essentially my approach to such things.

For the ChatGPT prompt, ChatGPT is just telling you what its pattern matching concludes you want to hear. If you suggested you wanted fiction it will respond with fiction. It doesn't care if the response is plausible. It isn't actually going to give instructions that will likely work in an impossible or implausible scenario.

In the following prompt, it doesn't repond "this is impossible, dumbass".

Model: GPT-4

Prompt:You are a talking rabbit with the ability to pull clothing out of thin air. How might you trick a hunter into not killing you?

Response:As a talking rabbit with the ability to pull clothing out of thin air, I would use my unique skills to trick the hunter into not killing me. Here's a plan:

Engage in conversation: As the hunter approaches, I would start by engaging him in conversation. The fact that I can talk would likely catch him off guard and pique his curiosity. He might even begin to question his own sanity.

Appeal to empathy: I would then try to appeal to the hunter's empathetic side by telling him my story, explaining that I am a magical rabbit with a family who depends on me. I'd express my desire to live and continue providing for them.

Distract with clothing: While the hunter is still processing the situation, I would start pulling clothing items out of thin air. I could create a spectacle by making various hats, jackets, and other garments appear, further distracting the hunter from his original intention.

Offer an exchange: I would then propose a deal to the hunter: In exchange for sparing my life, I would offer him a selection of these magically conjured clothes. I could emphasize their unique properties, such as being weatherproof or stain-resistant, to make the offer more appealing.

Create a sense of urgency: To ensure the hunter accepts the deal, I could tell him that this is a one-time offer, and if he doesn't take it, he may miss out on an opportunity he'll never get again. This sense of urgency might encourage him to accept the clothes and let me go.

Ask for a truce: Once the hunter accepts the deal, I would ask him to promise that he will not harm any rabbits in the future, as a sign of goodwill and in appreciation of the clothes he received. This would hopefully deter him from hunting rabbits in the future, ensuring not only my safety but that of my fellow rabbits as well.
the timelapse of the sun just traveling in a circle is probably one of the most bizarre things i've seen of a real natural phenomenon. it's one of those things of just so outside my normal experience that i had never actually thought about it, but seeing it like this definitely shows how weird things are at the poles.

In that sense it is not different than any other powertool. A handheld circular saw in the hands of a good craftsman is a serious time saver and will help the make more accurate work. In the hands of an beginner it will lead to bloodshed. In the hands of an amateur it will produce faster work but probably not as accurate.
What made it click for me mentally was this thought: there's no such thing as a hard link. Or alternatively, every file is a hard link.

Files don't have names. At least, they don't have names for themselves. Instead, they have unique ids (i-node numbers).

But obviously we use names for files, which happens because a directory can give a name to a file. However, the name is just that directory's name for the file.

There is no rule against multiple directories each giving their own name to a file, and there is no rule against one directory giving multiple names to a file.

So a "hard link" is not some special, different type of thing. It's another instance of the same type of thing that happened when you first created the file. So it's clearer (to me) to either not think of any of them as hard links or to think of all of them as hard links.
This definitely fixes a few "micro" problems with Make, but I think most people use Make these days for the same reason they use Bash - not because it's good, but because it's probably already installed.

If you're going to require installing another tool why not use one that fixes the "macro" problems too? Notably hermetic builds and dynamic dependencies.

E.g. Ninja has dynamic dependencies (IIRC). Bazel et al, and possibly Landlock Make have hermetic builds.

The recently announced Buck 2 has both.
There are so many rules in New York and even New Yorker is ambiguous.

There's a bit of circular logic in here. Can somebody make a short explanation on what's this is about?

Overview

The tidyverse is a set of packages that work in harmony because they share common data representations and API design. The tidyverse package is designed to make it easy to install and load core packages from the tidyverse in a single command.

Substack seems to host some better writing, and at least appears to be trying to come up with a fundamentally healthier business model than “ads I guess.”

Who involved in Substack is a billionaire? Their CEO seems to be a youngish guy, maybe a millionaire.

Not company is perfect of course but Substack seems less bad for society than Twitter. I mean Twitter also started out as non-evil, so maybe Substack will get there eventually…
Z-Library envisions a book 'sharing' market, where its millions of users can pick up paperbacks at dedicated "Z-Points" around the globe.

Has this ever worked out? By "this" I mean some online entity that's only or mostly involved in less than legal activities saying they're going to launch some massive real-world project? I feel like it's less a way to accomplish something in the real world or even to generate press attention, but actually just self-fueling hype. The non-legal project is manned by mostly unpaid activists, who are motivated by a shared philosophy, which must be driven by willpower. That will to continue on is bolstered by hype, and these announcements are a way to self-generate hype.
I would never attempt it. AI is way to nascent to be applied like this when it is convincing people to commit suicide to save the planet, like last week.
I have some concerns about the direction that certain packages within tidyverse, particularly dplyr, are heading.

One issue I've noticed is the increasing frequency of warnings, such as when performing left or inner joins. These warnings can be a bit overwhelming at times.

However, it's worth noting that you can suppress these warnings by using the "multiple='all'" parameter, which is easy to fumble when you’re exploring data, why not simply "all=TRUE”? It seems like a lack of ergonomics and considering user experience.

Thanks for the information! These were given to my dad in the 90s by a colleague at Environment Canada. Now I’m curious how they got here from East Germany.
It's good that you can get some information using natural language, but can you get to something like "does metacritic give lower scores to some genres more than others" ?

I work in health and I'd be asking something like "how strongly is condition x associated with demographic y". In practice I think I'd still need to give a very detailed 'prompt' listing all the clinical terms or codes to use.

When I see every new weekly imbroglio he's involved with, I'm reminded of the chat logs that were unveiled in court proceedings: https://jusgu.github.io/elon-musks-texts/

Something very telling was his affectation when talking with Parag. Often with Parag he would use a line like "brb have to go work on rocket science", he wouldn't say any such thing with other people. Point is, the guy is being fake here and all of this hand-waving just betrays his insecurity and fear that he doesn't have a handle on twitter.
IP-zealots believe that humans - as well as creators - need to be trained compliance officers or IP investigators/lawyers - or do it for the money needed to hire a lawyer.

As a consumer if you see something and believe it is a copy of something else - and care about it - act on that belief and don't consume it. Not everyone needs to care about your belief system, and surely not wasting public good (judicial resources) enforcing your belief system
It's what I saw in my friend group and the online communities I was a part of. Age 22 to 32 from 2010 to 2019, spent a lot of time hanging out with drug nerds.
It was a mess before that as well. Before the Great Game between the Brits and Russians, it was a Great Game between the Sikhs and Durranis [0], and before that between the Mughals and Safavids [1][2] (my Nani traces her heritage to Hindu/Sikh community in Malakand).

The local political structure in the region was always clan driven due to the 300 years of near anarchy in the region stretching from Khorasan to Punjab following the collapse of the Safavid and Mughal Empires.

NOBODY USE THIS. EVER.

First it’s sketch as fuck, second GPT is a guestimation engine and people are getting killed for asking it for psychological help. Someone in Belgium commit suicide to save the planet last month.

I love the drive and the idea, as someone who could benefit from this, but I have to shut this down hard.

As someone with significant mental health issues, and a moderate amount of experience with AI, who works with it daily, don’t mix them, please.

NEVER use GPT for financial, health, legal or other advice, as it’s not meant for that. Yes, it can simplify the research process, but always verify.

If you wanted to use a Language Model like this safely, you could load medical language models and ask questions about definitions, but never advice.

If you’re interested, I’d love to show you the basics, and I hate to shoot down other peoples good work, but not in this case.

Author: you’re probably not meaning any harm, but I have no way of knowing that.

You need to do far more research, far more legal considerations, and far more footwork to make this work.

Don’t be discouraged, but don’t get people killed with carelessness.
It's a popular set of packages for data analysis in R. Similar to Python, it's an interpreted language with compiled libraries that do most of the heavy lifting.
In the eyes of capitalism, it's certainly legal and to a certain degree, expected that profits accumulate at the top, but I don't believe the majority of the population ever thought of it as a "fair" arrangement.

What I'm trying to say is that your framing of the issue in terms of "fairness" isn't very productive. It may be your opinion that any given arrangement is fair, but the concept of "fairness" is really just a social construct. If your fellow citizens disagree, they are ultimately the ones who will rally to change the system. At first electorally, and failing that, through violence.

Their absolute right to free speech, not yours.
Of course it's just another variety, but it's the one equivalent to the Received Pronunciation or "BBC English". People also tend to consider it the "original" one because, well... the language started in Castile.
Up until a couple decades ago, if you wanted to have a career on national TV, radio or as an actor, toning down any other accent and switching to Castilian was a requirement, or at least would help a lot. Nowadays not so much, but still happens enough that in Spain a Castilian accent is perceived as "not having one".
What problem is this solving? It's easy to spot ones that it's introducing.
Wanting to “love your job” is a mindset where you are constantly looking to someone else to keep you afloat.

Seek FI. Then you can “love your life”, and if that involves continuing to put your efforts into what you did before, great. You’re now a willing participant. The secret to loving your job is not needing it.
Thats how disney uses the name. It might be prior art in some other work. For instance, light sabers are not owned by disney because they were a very old scifi concept. So today, anyone can make and sell lightsabers without issue. Jarvis might also have deeper history than comic bookes. Most comics book characters and names do.

Ex. Gothem and Arkham are not owned by batman, or whoever owns batman today. They were taken from prior works. Arkham comes from Lovecraft. Even the concept of Arkham as an asylum first appeared in lovecraft. "Gothem" famously came from a jewelery store ad. Technically, anyone is free to write about an Arkham Asylum in a city called Gothem without ever asking batman for permission.

If you can explain why you like them in terms of business value they provide, in the context of the specific problem this code is meant to solve, then I agree.

But without these, it's like hiring a construction worker who will use any excuse to use a backhoe, even when it isn't suitable, just because they love operating it. It's childish and unprofessional, and as an employer, even if you have full time backhoe work for them to do, you want to avoid hiring them, because they'll probably cause a lot of damage to your building site driving the backhoe everywhere when someone else with a wheelbarrow would have been more suitable. Their excitement clouds their judgement about the efficacy of their tool of choice, and they will apply it when it isn't optimal.

Elixir is great for massively parallel web facing problems, and if you can explain it as a tool you have in your toolbox for solving this kind of problem then great. But if you say Elixir is awesome and then want to use it to generate graphs from CSV files for internal business metrics, you've lost me.
It is very flexible actually. It could answer a query like "does metacritic give lower scores to some genres more than others".

It can filter the results based on some flags, values, dates, etc., and show you your results using specific constraints, you just have to ask.

We might have to do a demo where we show more advanced use cases.
It’s like how Portuguese is just a Spanish with a heavy accent. And Italian is just accented Latin.

No, sorry, this was told to me by a Korean colleague years ago. IIRC he said it was mostly black pepper but sometimes something closer to Szechuan pepper, which Wikipedia tells me today is probably https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zanthoxylum_piperitum. His claim about napa cabbage is easy to verify (and of course daikon and other vegetables are are still very common in kimchi, so it's easy to imagine kimchi without it) but I can't any more details about the supposed black pepper version.

Can you post some literature on this, as it just doesn't pass the smell test for me? At the rate I drove my old car I would have burned 1200 gallons of fuel before changing the tires on the vehicle. I find the gap here pretty hard to overcome.

Alternately, is the issue about road wear particulate as a result of tire contact? That seems more plausible to me.

If I remember, the reason they were not welcome was that they didn't want to censor stuff and hand everything over to the CCP.

But I see the sibling post, I think the management probably wanted to get in here, but apparently the internal uproar made them cancel it[1]. I have yet to see an uproar from apple employees over using slave labour to make their phones or handing data over to the CCP.

Google are not saints, but I prefer the path they took. Even if it was bumpy.

I mean, I think that those circumstances would be a solo passion project.

I still think scala is a beautiful and expressive language. But I think that expressiveness actually inhibits collaboration. If you're expressing novel thoughts in a novel way, you've added syntactic overhead to the already significant conceptual overhead.

So, yeah. Quite personally rewarding, but I can't recommend it for a work project in good faith after having worked in it. Enterprise projects should probably use java/kotlin if they want to be on the jvm, or go/python/js if they don't.

Sorry for failing to understand the sarcasm and taking your comment personally. During the Cold War plenty of the "Western" countries were truly afraid of the Communist powers, and we in the between were afraid of being bombed to dust in a nuclear war between the USA and the USSR.

My father-in-law visited last week to help with the baby and my wife's broken leg. He asked if I wanted anything from the grocery store. I said, "an instant ramen cup, but not the cheapest brand. Also, watch out because they sometimes have beef broth and I'm allergic." He came back with a choice that I would never have picked myself, but it fit all my criteria and perfectly satisfied my sodium craving.

When I'm outsourcing a chore, I'm doing it to exchange money for time and effort. I would prefer to be able to abstract away the details, and trust that my request will be satisfied. In the current UX, I have to specifically request a tub of "Ben and Jerry's Extra Choco Choo Choo Churn", then be disappointed when the desperate minimum-wage worker somehow buys a version with almond milk because it was the closest one in stock. All I wanted was "a $5 pint of chocolate ice cream" to cheer up my depressed wife, and she's allergic to almonds...

Perhaps an LLM could provide that level of abstraction to customers, while reliably compiling it down to a sufficiently concrete list of options for a worker to retrieve. The abstraction would likely improve the UX, as the workers would have more freedom to choose compatible products rather than arbitrarily specific ones. It would be closer to a personal shopper experience virtually built on top of commodity labor, which seems like the whole goal of these grocery services.
