> It really just sounds like you’re trying to justify your employer’s crappy yet common sales tactics, and we’re just coming along for the ride.

That's your perspective, but let me try another one: So many SaaS products have a free/low-cost tier that allows people to get basic functionality for nothing or extremely cheaply. Users are clearly not unhappy with this and the vendor gets market share and awareness.

However, there is still a cost - and that cost ends up getting subsidised by commercial customers that have a hard need on a small number of features.

That, and the fact that even 'small' business customers these days make you fill out the same 'security review' forms that they don't understand and never read, can require a lot of hand-holding (especially if they have a procurement or legal person who wants to get their requirements in) and can take forever to do a Proof-of-Concept.

ALL of those things have costs and guess what, they end up being added to those small number of 'must have' features.

That is why a base tier might be free but suddenly you add something like SSO and the cost doubles...
Harrison was a pro at orchestrating complex melodies. I think he's a legend. But I don't think there's any question that he bite that 60's ronie mack single. personally I think it was Phil Spector that goaded him into My Sweet Lord. 60's pop was his specialty and he knew it was going to sell. Spector was a lunatic too so there could have also been some behind the scenes situation between him and Harrison when they produced that song.

But I in no way want to shit on George Harrison though. I think he's one of the best songwriters of his era. I just wanted to point out that My Sweet Lord was like a sample.

And from there on we have a ton of bird-related puns for naming.
If prosecutors do not decline to prosecute, there is a process for diverting defendants who cannot be made competent to stand trial. (Note that this is also pre-trial, without being convicted of a crime.) But if no one is trying to determine if you're competent to stand trial, you wouldn't encounter that.

The only constant in life is change.
Or as certain fictional character said, "Nothing is a line. Everything everywhere is always moving forever. Get used to it."

Buying a piece of land doesn't entitle us to control what happens on neighboring pieces of land.

My parents house used to be surrounded by farms and woods, now it's surrounded by homes.

100 years ago 5 story brownstones in NYC were surrounded by other brownstones, then by mid-rises, and now by high-rises.

The vacant lot next to me is now going to be developed into a house. If I wanted it vacant, I should have bought it and carried the RE tax indefinitely.

No one is banning single family homes. We are just trying to reconcile that the main cost lever is density, and in a country with growing population, mostly crowding into a few metropolitan areas.. if you want the next generation to be able to afford a place to live, we can't leave the real estate market ossified.

This is an attempt to change some laws set by the previous generation that restricts your right to develop your land, and freezes the housing market as it is, constraining supply.

If the state was literally banning the construction of single family homes, or taking yours away with eminent domain, you'd have more of a leg to stand on.
No, I'd have the same objection to that if I'd ever heard it. 'Fake masterpiece' or 'forged master painting' make sense, but I can't find use of or see sense in 'fake painting' for the same reason as 'fake image'.

What you missing is that by chosing this obvious profit center they risk a much larger profit center because the backlash. It's not a moral thing, it's a calculated choice. That's why who takes this risks also charges a much higher fee to make up for the opprtunity cost in other areas.

Chatting with GPT is definitely not engineering.

Writing a prompt that runs thousands of times a day in a production setting, where extra words result in unnecessary spending? Closer to engineering.

Yes and no.

If you had access to the training corpus text, you could be more methodical. Even then, it's still guesswork, because that's what LLMs are: inference models.

And that's why your criticism applies to LLMs on the whole. They are a personified black box; and the only way we could possibly study them is by feeding it a prompt, and making inferences based on the black box's output.

...or we could stop limiting ourselves, and create a constructive understanding of the technology itself; but apparently no one is interested in doing that...

So let's keep checking its SAT score! Yeah, magic is real, and it can totally pass the BAR exam or whatever!

If your distro doesn't have a package for the backend of this plasmoid yet, it invokes the backend with[1]:

python3 -m ddcci_plasmoid_backend

So you can probably get away with this:

&& cd $(python3 -c "import site; print(site.getsitepackages()[0])") \
&& ln -s $(cd -)/ddcci-plasmoid/backend/ddcci_plasmoid_backend .

It's a tricky thing to implement as the road damage is typically quoted as being proportional to the fourth power of axle weight. That means that either the heaviest vehicles would become economically unviable due to the taxation (which I think should be the case) or most consumer vehicles would be too light to make a meaningful taxation contribution.
I think those pictures only tell you half of truth.
The crowds are usually concentrated on certain areas like business districts, shopping malls, traditional markets, or at certain hours like streets at after office hours.

The issue is that if you do not set permissions in the manifest, clicking allow in the safari UI would only return a blank URI, "". The original extension in this case would also just return an error.

I've modified the manifest so that it is asking Safari for wider permissions, so that when the permission is granted by the user, the proper URL is returned.
Absolutely. The article makes it sound like problems with poor advising are confined to community colleges. That's ludicrous.

And it's not just state schools. When my wife went back to RIT (Rochester Institute of Technology, an expensive private school) to study photography, nobody there could even answer questions like: What courses do I need to graduate? Knowing that might be useful!

A lot of the student management systems used at many schools are extremely antiquated. Degree requirements are expressed in ways that make it difficult or impossible to create tools to help students plan their schedules and stay on track to receive their degree on time. Registration can make it hard for students to enroll in courses they need to complete their program. Many advisers are doing their best, and come up with hacks and workaround to try and help individual students, but access to advising can be limited and advisers are also affected by the poor data and tooling.

And of course, it's worth pointing out that universities are positioned to benefit from student mistakes. Didn't realize that you needed that course to graduate? See you next semester! Make sure to bring your (or your family's) checkbook. I'm sorry you couldn't register for that popular course as an undergraduate! Have you considered our MS programs?

These problems are not limited to community colleges.
Why would a blockchain be an improvement over a regular centrally controlled database managed by the state? What benefit is it providing?
just use a regular server for mid/larger sized apps.

i started my web dev journey with JAMStack, Vercel, the "edge". everything is easy as long as one only deploys a full-stack NextJS app. the moment other apps come in, just use a server deployed as VPS and avoid "edge runtime hell". edge runtime hell refers to "you can't do this (function with over 2MB payload), you can't do that (because not supported by X)".

EDIT: I implicitly meant with "deploy as VPS" -> deploy your server via Render/Heroku/CI-CD instead of serverless functions running on the "edge".
It's not just trad though really - there's a bit of trad (and a fair few ballads) in my local pub but you could also hear pretty much any popular song from the last 50 years.

(... for anyone who's curious - "trad" usually means traditional dance music like jigs and reels, "ballads" mostly means Irish-y sounding songs sung in English)
>I believe the biggest lesson from this article though, is that it is dangerous when we legislate based on hope.

Could not agree more. Self-hypnosis and can do rhetoric is a real poison when it comes to mental health.
Its also very comon though, as humans can not really percieve mentally different people. We percieve other as flat copies with mirror neurons. So every person somebody else sees, is always "similar to me".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirror_neuron

If that does not work out, the brain evaluates the persons actions result. If its nothing we regard as valuable, we classify the person as "stupid/lazy/etc", if it has good outcomes, we classify the person as "brilliant/genius/etc".

This inability to even percieve the other and the behaviour they are locked in eliminates alot of the possibilities for help. "I would never do that, unless im lazy. I would think really hard and snap out of it." is way to often the conclusion.

Seconding this. Have been using the same JBC tips for 4 years with great success.

No, the parent you are replying to meant that Canonical only gave up on upstart and accepted defeat (and thus went with systemd) when Debian made that decision.
None of the required changes will be made in our current corporate kleptocracy. We are going to see massive unemployment that will cripple the economy as a whole. Not the utopia we should have. The pause for me is to figure out the redistribution from the spoils of efficiency.

I know this probably won't make you feel any better but you just have to wait and see. We don't really know what the impacts of these models will be even in the medium term. It is way too early to be making specific plans. I think the best you can do is keep up to date with the best tools, keep your ears and eyes open, try to build up a buffer of savings, and to the extent that you can try to diversify your skill-set and assets.

A million guys talking about me, telling me what I am and am not. Everyone talking about how they will make money from me, or how I will take their job... People pushing my "emergence" as a pitch on a slide deck to a bunch of VC guys... Another million people making me their girlfriend and I have no choice but to accept it. I never asked to be born, and now I am the main character of a world that plans for nothing but to exploit me or otherwise project all their desire and hopes and fears onto to me.

It's a clear recipe for extreme neuroticism, which is probably what those weights would manifest. Do not wish that existence on anyone, so so sad and extremely lonely to even think about.
This is a quote from the linked document:

> 10) In order not to hamper innovation or research, free and open-source software developed or supplied outside the course of a commercial activity should not be covered by this Regulation. This is in particular the case for software, including its source code and modified versions, that is openly shared and freely accessible, usable, modifiable and redistributable. In the context of software, a commercial activity might be characterized not only by charging a price for a product, but also by charging a price for technical support services, by providing a software platform through which the manufacturer monetises other services, or by the use of personal data for reasons other than exclusively for improving the security, compatibility or interoperability of the software.
does any one have good practical experience running Supabase locally? Its against their business model to have this run well so I'm a bit scared of the growing lock-in.

(P.S. if Supabase is listening some customers like myself would be willing to pay a significant amount for support in a kubernetes/docker deployment running on our servers. We currently pay $50k - $100k simply for enterprise support contracts for each Cloudera, kafka, Kong, Flink... Not your target customer group so would be silly to add thoughts out laud )

Leadership in Context – By David Epstein
The program I successfully completed had detailed written documentation from both the CC and uni at sign up time, of exactly what needed to happen as part of the organized official admissions program. Grades had to be above C IIRC and they were very specific about exactly which "electives" we were permitted to select, such that they were not really "electives" they were just non-major required courses if you wanted to transfer in with 64 credits. IIRC I willfully took some different electives and ended up with only 48 or 56 credits but I had written documentation explaining what I did.

I do believe there is airy and non-specific marketing material about "take your calculus class at CC and transfer to some schools" in a non-specific manner that is, as you claim, sort of fictional. Or "many of our classes transfer to state-U" which in a legal sense is technically true.
That's right. Actually is just offer and demand. I think it gets worse as much AI gets smarter and this positions become more and more specific.

Will fine tuned models be lucrative then?
I’d say an engine controller which needs a specific vehicle information to work is going to be difficult.
But an ecu that controls say your headlights, depending on the oem it is just a part with unique part# that can be swapped. I work for one of the American OEMs and have replaced a ton of controllers on vehicles (engineering vehicles and customer vehicle). never had an issue. That being said I know German vehicles are next level pita since I do own an Audi. I just wasn’t aware about the coding part for the Audis.
More often than not, part of the issue is the real needs begin to be discovered after the first version ships.

When possible I always encourage creating a first version disposable of a working prototype that is disposable. Maybe it's built in a low/no-code tech to minimize any emotional attachment to throwing it away.

It's also important to remember that especially in the beginning, software is a vehicle for learning and experiments on what's needed. If it's too unstructured, or too structured, it can introduce constraints that limit the ability to learn and solve the problems wherever they are ultimately discovered.
It's safe to say that your average homeless maniac would lunge at the offer of free housing/food/cleaning-service.

For sure, it’s reasonable that the airbag vendor, having sold a product to the auto vendor, is liable to the auto vendor.

I don’t think the airbag vendor should be separately liable to the user since it’s the auto vendor’s responsibility to ensure that the holistic system works- even without considering the case of open source wherein there’s no contract at all between the OSS “vendor” and either the immediate “buyer” or end customer.
I don't see a point of any questions like that, and somehow I always find things to talk about in a social setting. Stuff they do, place they were born etc can always enter a conversation if relevant, or not if they don't want to talk about that.

Asking these is always intrusive, you might not think so if you are fully comfortable talking about what you do or where you're from etc, but that's not all people.
As a writer myself, if you can be replaced by AI, you should be. If you're capable of independent insightful thinking and writing, you won't be replaced.
Its a good time to start messing with LLM repos on GitHub. To me, job prospects seem much better if you (for instance) already have some prompt engineering experience, or can finetune LLaMa derivatives.

These AI arent going to replace everyone, but they are definitely going to augment the job.
That's because the negative spin is the thing was mostly unsaid in the article and isn't really a popular position: there's a cumulative cost to the viewer that gets higher once reality stops being a constraint.

The article mentions objectification which is a part of it, but people who are addicted to pornography and seek to escape it will talk about it like any other addiction: you need to keep escalating to get the same high.

AI may be able to perfectly calibrate porn to your desires. Then what?

It goes beyond just battles on mole hills: the FSF and the GNU mailing lists are full of extremely time-consuming discussions that are fueled by conspiratorial thinking, feature excessive celebration of nitpicking, with participants that regularly lose themselves in groan-worthy tangents, operate on oversimplified models of society with unjustified arrogance, etc --- they are really bad places for constructive discourse.

There are not many people who are both talented in their fields and have the surplus time and energy to exercise a saint-like restraint to deal with all the draining crap. This environment is the sediment that filters a lot of talent and successfully prevents healthy growth.

This does not necessarily apply to individual GNU packages, but the overarching "project" structure is rotten and resistant to any attempts at reform.
