Are you arguing that we should take the word of of, say, black people as being more valid in this debate? Because if so, I'm not at all sure that most black people would vote on this issue the way you seem to suspect they would. The reality is that this is one person's opinion. It's not more valid than mine simply because she's black and I'm small town Wisconsin. Nor is it more valid than the voice of the white liberal. Nor even the voice of the black liberal for that matter.

In short, your bringing up her race, is completely irrelevant to the validity or invalidity of the arguments presented. (Which are pretty much boilerplate by the way. As conservatives, and liberals for that matter, we all really need new material if this is the best we can do.)
The hype exists, firstly, because the present day possibilities are already impressive enough to net actual financial gains from improved productivity, and secondly because it's obvious that all this stuff hasn't yet been scaled to the limit - but the scaling and improvement that we've seen so far (GPT 3 -> 3.5 -> 4) showed massive gains on every step in a very short period of time.
one thing i think where dating apps help (or being introduced by someone as potential partners) is that you can discuss relationship goals very early. that helps weeding out unsuitable candidates quickly.
Why are there so many articles about this lately?

I don't see what the problem is or why being single is such a tragedy. Single doesn't mean being alone. Not everyone wants serious long term relationships and monogamy is on a serious decline.

People used to aspire to have the single lifestyle we now pretend is so sad and lonely. Sounds like propaganda to me. We're overpopulated. Can't the prole have this one thing and thin out in style?
German (and most other?) passports feature the name of the issuing authority and place of birth, no other location, and remain valid irregardless of your current registered address.

Side note: It seems like many African ID cards list the profession and I've had to explain to several suspicious border guards why my passport doesn't.

EDIT: I've always wondered about this and apparently the body that sets passport specifications is ICAO, the International Civil Aviation Organization, as mandated by the UN. Specifically through ICAO document 9303.[1]

You can’t replace devs with LLMs because someone that knows what they are doing still needs to put it all together.

You can only make employees more productive.. this in turn could, in theory, lessen the need for developers in the long run, but it assumes the company will not bother to use the extra bandwidth for other projects.
Heh. Reminds me of the warez days.

I think people are missing the point when they call Metaverse a 'misstep' because it implies Zuckerberg was a good actor who just happened to get this one thing wrong... if you look through his history of things like forced Whatsapp sharing (plus Onavo), Free Basics, all of the shitty things the company does... the Metaverse was never a good faith effort and people need to understand that; newsflash, he's not a shining example of what a good person is

(And the whole stealing Facebook from other people in the first place, anyway)
You think Apple wallet is a charity? They get a cut on every transaction. Processing fees are charged to the merchant.

It's kind of hilarious to me that the OS & browser are in such competition.

I'd love to see a desktop wm that tries to handle tabs the same as windows. Android Chrome did this & I really wish it was still an option. Having one set of tools to navigate across workspaces makes so much sense. We just haven't ever investigated or pursued the kind of high-radix desktop/wm/shell where we could actually survive it.

Really enjoy the quick review of Arc. I confess it's been a while since I've had an extension to put tabs on the left.

Hey like... Is that possible in extensions with WebExtensions V2 or MV3? It's not is it? The browser has some extensibility but retains ultimate & total power over the overall experience, only carves out narrow affordances. Can't wait to hack the shit out of this modest tyrannic anti-choice some day! WebBrowserExtensions v1 here we go!

Many jurisdictions don't have the concept of "Public Domain", so I'm sure they appreciate a defined but not particularly restrictive license.
I’ve been using this one for years including on latest macOS, works great.
Does he have a good answer for the problem of overgeneration during the summer months, and undergeneration in winter? If you run the numbers on battery energy density, cost, and what it takes to run an efficient heat pump, it seems clear that renewables alone aren’t quite a solution yet. I’d love to be wrong, though.
Show HN: OpenAI ChatGPT Command Line Interface
Stuff that is integrated into your house needs to last more than 5 years.

Hell, standard warranties on new homes are 10 years, and I’d wager if a developer built a bunch of houses that stopped working after ten years and a day, they’d lose badly in court.
So you're basically passing in full blog posts and SO type answer to GPT to help refine the prompt/query?
It might not solve your problems, but there are a lot of people using CoPilot and/or GPT-4 for coding already, and it does save time for them.
The interviewer is not thinking logically. How does he know it's a good interview problem? Let's look at the data:

>The fastest I had a candidate solve the entirety of the problem with all bells and whistles was in 20 minutes, by a freshman from the University of Waterloo, the type who did high-school competitions.

>The most depressing failure I saw was a PhD graduate from University of Toronto who could not produce working code for the first section of the problem in 45 minutes.

>I once had a candidate with 15-years work experience give me lots of attitude for asking them such a simple question, while at the same time struggling at it.

All of this data points to the fact that this question may not be good. A phd graduate and a person with 15 years of experience rejected for someone who practices programming for competitions? What gets me is that the data is painting an obvious picture here. A very obvious picture. An obvious picture that we aren't sure what's a good interview and a bad interview question.

But the problem is that most people when looking at this completely miss it. It's not obvious to the interviewer and it's not obvious to alot of people who like google style questions. We literally have not much data and not much science backing any of this up.

It's an illustration of how biased humans are and illustration of how extra biased interviewing for software positions is. If there's anything more unknowingly biased and then the replication crisis in science it's technical interviews for companies. There needs to be real feedback loops that correlate interview question passing with Actual performance.

Google is in a good position to grab this data but I'm not sure they are doing so given how they just okayed this guys gut decision to go against the grain and use this question. I'm not against this question, but certainly to call this great in the face of controversial data that he himself gathered and listed on his post is just a complete blueprint of the extent of human blindness.

The reality of what's going on here is the person here in the interview is just getting off on dominating other people with a hard question. It's not on purpose but he's doing it without realizing it. The blog post in itself is a bit showy. It's like "I can answer this question but a phd graduate can't".
Our "usability study" is the tens or hundreds of thousands of people who use our UI entirely without issue every day. Market validation is better than any usability study you could pay for.
Now that you mention RISC-V, maybe a bolder move from Intel would have been to throw their weight behind RISC-V and try to be the leader of the new tech instead of a co-leader of the old tech.

On the other hand, ARM is very popular right now, and maybe Intel feels like what it needs right now is to take some of that market to deprive competing fabs of revenue and give itself better economies of scale.
I've been looking on and off for a way to do this for years.

Surprised more people aren't bothered by not being able to use the space next to the notch... it's not even consistent with the iPhone which does allow rendering apps around the notch.
I’m guessing these will come with generics. Wasn’t that also the case with Java?
Here you can apply the most common technique for such problems, which is to create a graph whose vertices are pairs made of a vertex of the original graph, plus the "state" of the traversal (or in other words, the essential information about the path used to reach the vertex).

In this case, the state is the number of walls passed, so just create a graph made of (v, k) pairs where for adjacent v and w in the grid, (v, k) connects to (w, k) if there is no wall, and it connects to (w, k + 1) if there is a wall.

Then run A*, finding the shortest path from (start, 0) to (end, 1), reconstruct the path and look at where it transitions from a (v, 0) to a (w, 1) and then return the wall between v and w.

You can use this for all sorts of other constraints, like finding a path that only changes direction up to N times, or a path where you don't get eaten by the monster moving deterministically (in this case the state is the monster position), or a path where you spend up to N time underwater consecutively, etc.

But GPT-4 seems very bad at solving problems, so even though this is an easy problem, it's not unexpected that it would not come up with this solution.
Not for me it doesn’t. I use ChatGPT all the time in my work and it saves me a lot of time. With a couple of exceptions I haven’t found much compelling in VR and can’t stand to do it more than 60 minutes at a stretch.
> Natural language is a pretty fantastically bad interface for specifying unambiguous, repeatable, and reliable tasks

I agree. I think people are fooled by the implicit knowledge that most humans have. They make decisions about the details, where in programming you have to tend to each detail. That's roughly equivalent effort in natural language.

For some problems, probably harder in natural language.

I still think it's a great advancement. It opens programming to the masses, and the LLM can probably teach you the things you need to know to advance your competency.
Not being snarky but...maybe we should label them as such. If it's accurate then so be it.

The irony? We'd have to rely on the media and "modern journalism" to apply the proper labels.
(my) general feeling is that these dating apps works mostly for people who dont need them in the first place anyway... spoiling it for everyone else
Some of them are solar-equipped or have hand-cranks for emergency charging. Usually a built-in flashlight too.

Agree, however i feel that NYT plays it smart. I currently pay only 4$/month which is negligible enough for me to keep it on.

Since i'm a happy subscriber of Bloomberg, i am really not keen to pay another 30$+/month for WSJ but i find myself trying to read some of their articles.
Would love to find a cheap solution that gives me limited access (max 10/20 articles/month)
I mostly agree with your first point, and also agree that NN can simulate human cognition. The question is - does simulating it equals being conscious? Is NN simply a Chinese Room, or it can actually think? Are we (humans) also a Chinese Room or are we something more? I don't have any answers.

Why I'm repeating mentioning Chinese Room concept, is because while not making things clearer about humans or NNs, it does provide an example of distinction between a dump pattern matching machine and a thinking entity.
That was exactly what the designer was trying to do. We kept telling her "people tell us what they want by presenting their method of payment." And she kept sending us articles about cognitive load for some reason. I just don't think she had any of the domain knowledge she needed to understand why that was a bad idea, and she didn't take the time to get it either before arguing with us.
Similarly you can precompute a dictionary for the Cartesian product of the dictionary with itself, then lookup into that.

Big in space but O(1) (wrt word len at least)
I honestly don’t understand why VR hasn’t caught on. Every time I let someone try my Quest for the first time their minds are blown. It’s very cool technology and seems like the next logical step for video games.
In linguistics a sentence that causes itself to be true is called performative. (The standard example being "we are at war", spoken by someone with the authority to declare war.)

That doesn't really fit here, but it's a similar idea.
Infrastructure like roads are important to NPR, or they are not.

NPR (and every other company) that relies on US roadways is giving the US govt levarage over the organization no?
I'm pointing out that it's not that simple. This is like saying you 'have the alternative' to not take a shitty job when you're unemployed, the 'choice' of not buying food at the supermarket, or 'the choice' of not participating in capitalism, good luck with that.

In the US, improvements/repairs to rental properties are extremely tax advantaged. You might take on debt for the initial liquidity, but as I understand it's easy for landlords to use these expenses to effectively nuke their income tax liability.

While some people are asking “oh why don’t you do X”, I’d like to know if this exists on the nvidia shield.
Of course the non-techies know it from the hype in the news; that's the usual pipeline. And of course they don't know "what it really is", because that requires specialized knowledge. But whether they "think of it as being anything important" is more a function of your circles; in mine, people are mostly terrified of what it will do to jobs and how it'll be used for surveillance.
Uncle Sam threatens AI with its nastiest weapon: An audit
Right, cutting R&D spend and upping dividends or buybacks is a totally normal thing that companies do all the time. It's just not nearly as sexy as changing the world or whatever Zuck says he's doing.

He was only able to pursue his metaverse vision because he has shareholder control, and given the change in stock price it looks like increasing numbers of investors are no longer interested in a company he has total control over.
I think in their statement about leaving Twitter he mentioned journalism. I was pointing out that - imho - it's mostly op-ed. Nothing wrong with op-ed but it should never be confused with journalism.
To do that you would need the sensor to provide either the distance or direction of the “signal,” right? Does this actually do that? Given how unreactive neutrinos are I can’t imagine there being much decay or defraction or distortion over distance. Can this experimental sensor produce a direction that the neutrinos are coming from?
They need to invest into better optimized delivery systems..

Take the entire day off and sit next to my phone?
You're being downvoted, but I wonder has anyone actually studied this? Honest question.
Not to say you can’t be bothered, but I look at it this way. I’m honestly only really looking at a small amount of my screen at a time…. I suspect I use that space very little.
May be it's worth adding a note on these pages that you are simulating network by introducing delay.
Sounds like a well-considered implementation. Wish I had it.
> customer assets are held separately from their own assets and would be available for withdrawal

This protects cash and crypto at LedgerX. (Assuming it has few senior creditors.)

Shorts are different. If you place 1 BTC short with LedgerX, it doesn’t hold 1 BTC of cash. Instead, it maintains claims on others. Those claims become unlikely to pay in a crash. That’s LedgerX’s counterparty risk, which does it in, which does you in. Shorts are inherently leveraged in a way longs are not.

> that owner did become insolvent, and regulators did look into the books, and even that didn't prevent options contracts from being settled and assets withdrawn

Yes, standard bankruptcy priority was followed. Also, no leveraged positions needed to be unwound way out of the money.

There is plenty online about why shorting coins on crypto exchanges is stupid. It’s a simplified version of why FX shorts, when done with large anticipated gains, are placed offshore from the target currency.
Thanks for running the numbers. The amounts in the channels are committed with those signed transactions, there’s no opportunity to double spend, so it’s fine to settle much less than daily, as long as the net flows are well balanced (big if). Transactions hop through the graph, you don’t have to have a running tab with more than a few other nodes.
NPR and The NYT have both jumped the shark. Sad really. Tho sadder is the fact that they're in denial about it.
Damn it! Keep this shit secret so I'm not competing with other users!

AMD is yet to release a TSMC 5nm mobile part (low power 5nm), so the exclusive foundry lead Apple's been paying for is more like 2.5 years. It is my understanding that things are pretty much the same with TSMC's 3nm node. Apple's lead is all but guaranteed for at least a couple more years.
For almost every one of those pop ups, you can click on it, step through the dialog, then cancel the setup and it will clear the badge and not nag you anymore.

I agree it is getting irritating on IOS, but on Windows they’re now using things like alert badges on the battery charging status icon, the security status icon, etc. for stuff like “alerting” that you haven’t signed up for cloud backups and somehow this is an urgent security concern.
Also, this reads more like an argument for the usefulness of GPT-4 over the Metaverse
You just assume most black people would feel oppressed? And how would you disentangle that opinion from them being taught they are oppressed in school?

Would you say it absolutely doesn't matter how black people feel about it? Wouldn't that make the whole subject somewhat ridiculous?

And of course a black lawyer is a data point against the claims of systemic oppression.

Instead of trying to create some FB vertical, a better strategy would've been to let the growing VR community of those years keep stewing, while sticking to the hardware and core software side to keep the tech moving forward.

Probably not... tbh, unless I'm looking, I stay the hell away from LinkedIn generally. What got me even considering a few jobs ago was evaluating some of their eLearning courses that mgt had wanted people to make use of... Not the best idea imo.
