well, hallucinations are extremely common post-op things - can't speak for the author's specific case. when my mum broke her hip & had it replaced (she had already had similar on her other hip), i remember this with the nurse:

me: she's gone mad!

nurse: calm down, she will be ok.

and she mostly was, but never really the same again, until she died.

then, i fractured my ankle and had to have lots of orthopaedic banging, screwing and hammering done. following that i had some of the most vivid hallucinations i have ever experienced - i could not differentiate the hallucinations from reality. but the nurses treated it as all routine.

this was all courtesy of the NHS - please support the junior doctors (my niece is one)

It's said Dickens based the character "Harold Skimpole" in Bleak House on his friend Leigh Hunt. It must have hurt. Skimpole is naieve, feckless, uncaring of others, sponges money endlessly from everyone and anyone. I wonder how they patched that one up afterward. (Hunt was not Skimpole: Dickens took his ideas and magnified them into the character but it can't have felt good)
Amazon seems to do it fine, as have many other places I’ve worked.

The truth is that infrastructure is not that complex when you have someone giving you building blocks and setting up guardrails. Having someone give you the pipelines and setting the boundaries is great. Choosing the pieces to get the product over the line is not that hard in a world where cloud is the norm.
I have never, ever seen a hype wave like this. Cryptocurrency doesn't even come close.

We have people saying that unfinished toy projects on GitHub are going to revolutionize entire industries on the basis of one contrived demo. We have other people calling for air strikes on data centers and nuclear war to stop... text generators.

That is what I thought when was motivating myself to continue diving into vim and emacs. In the end it turned out that the this this problem of "difficult extensibility" exists only in my head but not in VSCode or IntelliJ IDEA. Eventually, you can do magic on your files with sed/python/any other language in terminal and this most likely is better solution because it is editor-agnostic and good for automation.

The picture in the article is of a flat top grill, which I imagine is easier for a restaurant to keep clean. Would gas vs electric matter much to you on a flat top where you aren't moving a pan around?
I have arbitrarily terrible episodic memory, especially so for professional stuff. If I don't have the commit history to check, I have trouble describing what I did in the last month in anything like a lucid level of detail.

I've always had trouble with the kind of behavioral interviews that are "Tell me about a time when . . ." since I can often recognize that I've been in relevant situations but can't for the life of me remember the details (even with time to prepare).

This honestly makes me more nervous about interviews than leetcode shenanigans. At least with those, I know how to improve.

(At work I rely on a combination of having the code in front of me, written notes, and whatever project management tools we have so it's not much of an issue, but most of that isn't available to me in an interview setting.)
GNSS-SDR is a decently usable software. We use it regularly in our lab with low-cost and medium cost SDRs like Pluto, USRP B series boards (modded with .5 ppm TCXOs). Configuring it for a 15 channel GPS + Galieo L1-band receiver, the CPU usage remains at 120% or so.

Yeah. Running a random list of words you don't like through a blackbox is some garbage-in garbage-out voodoo. It hardly matters what random words bots were able to generate on Twitter, what might matter is how many humans actually saw and interacted with any of it.

Even if provided electricity by gas turbine, it’s more efficient to burn that gas in the turbine and deliver electrons to the stove. Coal is dead by the end of the decade (only one coal fired generator, “Dry Fork”, in Wyoming is cheaper than new renewables in the US).

In a previous apartment that had an electric range, I was prepared to be super bummed out when cooking, and I cook a lot.

I was shocked to absolutely fall in love with it. I'm back to gas now in a new apartment and it's sad.

Modern electric simply gets so much hotter so much faster. It's like the ultimate luxury. It's true I had to get used to sliding the pan off the heat instead of turning down the gas, but that's easy.

For me, there's zero sensory loss. It's not like you really ever even see the flame anyways since it's covered by the pan. Everything sensory about cooking is the sizzle in the pan, not what's heating it underneath.

And there's nothing sad about a concerted political effort -- that's what efforts are for, to improve public health by reducing emissions and reducing childhood asthma.

(Outdoor charcoal grills are another matter, I'll admit though -- for the heat and the char and the smoke flavor, there's no electric equivalent.)

I like induction stoves, and I am a foodie who really likes to cook, but where a few years ago, I thought that induction would surely take over for every indoor application everywhere, but I've come to accept that as wrong after discovering the joys of cooking on a wok.

For those who haven't, the beauty of a wok is that flames can creep up the sides of the wok -- the whole surface is "hot" but gets hotter as you descend into the bowl, so that you can sear steaks and vegetables really quickly, then add other ingredients. The sides need to be hot -- it doesn't work on a flat cooktop -- so that you can add sauces to the outside of the wok and they'll do this magic caramelization trick as they descend the bowl of the wok.

As your slower-cooking ingredients are finished cooking, you sort of push them up the sides of the wok and then add in your faster ingredients so that everything comes together in a single pot, beautifully cooked, all at the same time.

I've tried and tried to replicate the experience on induction, but I can't, and I can't imagine anything that does. I have a komodo grill and bought an insert that allows me to use a wok on it, but while it's very good, it still isn't quite the same (can't "turn down" a bed of coals as quickly or precisely, for instance,) isn't really an option for most apartment dwellers, and tho I do not know, I don't suspect that firing up a bunch of carbonized coals is somehow better for the environment than gas (but it might be?)

For woks alone, I suspect there'll always be a justification for open flames. Would love to hear more impressions from those who grew up with or have cultural ties to wok cooking.

It's practically ripped straight from PostresSQL documentation.

PostgreSQL already supports:

* ORDER BY in grouped table (F868)

* GREATEST and LEAST (T054)

* String padding functions (T055)

* Multi-character TRIM functions (T056)

* Optional string types maximum length (T081)

* Enhanced cycle mark values (T133)

* JSON data type (T801)

* Enhanced JSON data type (T802)

* String-based JSON (T803)

* SQL/JSON simplified accessor (T860–T864)

The upcoming release of PostgreSQL 16 will have:

* Non-decimal integer literals (T661)

* Underscores in numeric literals (T662)

PostgreSQL currently lacks:

* UNIQUE null treatment (F292)

* ANY_VALUE (T626)

* Hex integer literals in SQL/JSON path language (T840)

* SQL/JSON item methods (T865–T878)

* JSON comparison (T879–T882) - though the nonstandard JSONB has this

* Property Graph Queries

As with many standards, the SQL standard likes to include things that DBMSs already have in the wild and have found practically useful.
The term "ownership" does a lot of heavy lifting here.

I'd argue rather that a family or person "has" a pet in the same way that they "have" children. They are guardians rather than owners.

They just don't ever come of age like children do.
The police simply count what they can - actual formal reports. They aren't lying because they aren't claiming that this fully describes the situation in the city.

The fact checkers, who I am accusing of being empty political bias machines, lie by pretending that "are the official crime statistics lower" is the question that residents and tourists need to know. Their headlines and conclusions don't match the questions they're asking and they're smarmy in their dismissals of disbelievers as politically motivated.

> if it's propaganda, it's self-defeating propaganda,

No, it's not the police who are propagandizing here. It's the "news" misusing the police data.

> making it far more likely that you're experiencing paranoia based on mass hysteria

Very tactile hallucinations.
This is not technically accurate.

a) Health: Most of the studies are VERY preliminary. Only a minor correlation has been found between gas and childhood asthma. And the studies mostly confined themselves to home environments. Commercial kitchens already have much higher standards for ventilation quality.

b) Environmental: I think a good case could be made that eventually gas will go away as we transition. But currently it's still being burned off at the wellhead in the US as a waste product. It also only puts out a tiny carbon footprint compared to coal or oil - which would make it a slight improvement over using the average city power grid right now.
IANAL but as I understand it there is, currently, no way to legally use a service for personal data handling that falls under the US CLOUD act.

In theory Amazon could license their brand and software to an independent (!) European company to offer a EU-AWS.

Basically if an American judge/agency can order Amazon to hand over European private data and they have the ability to comply without involving a European court the service is not GDPR compliment.

Now in practice this isn't how things are done but to the best of my knowledge the law hasn't changed (yet) and national dpas are starting to tighten the screws (slowly).

If I recall correctly there are EU-US talks to create Privacy Shield #3.
Keep reading the post! You'll get there.
Right, but none of those things were disclosed in the algorithm's release. They were disclosed prior to that.

I though that perhaps you were talking about something new.
Test/debug/fix against what? Writing code is fundamentally not about tests or debugging, it's about formalising informal requirements into hard constraints. To do that, you need to understand business, human, and technical contexts. Without that understanding, you get over engineering, Google Cloud Console, and poor code lacking mechanical sympathy respectively. What's more, often those contexts have competing/incompatible requirements that you need to either evaluate using your idea of your team's values, or escalate, being aware of your own limitations.

None of those problems are amenable to modern LLMs. The moment you try to be formal enough to be unambiguous, you start writing code.
Or.....you could just use PostgreSQL 14+ and have it today :)

We need to pump the brakes on the hyperbole. This isn't Snowden v2.0. This is all mid-tier analysis work, mostly just document production. There are no revelations of clandestine activities, no spies got burned, no new sources were revealed. Quite frankly what's been reported so far is mostly unsurprising. It's a bunch of powerpoint slides and such generated by a huge analyst bureaucracy.

Most likely the guy got access to it because he's an admin on the data store that holds it. It's very difficult to generate mountains of documents like this without granting some kind of IT staff the ability to read them.

Now, given the application, surely there needs to have been some kind of backstop against deliberate espionage and treachery. And it was probably poorly designed. But nothing here seems "surprising" to me, really.
I don't have any special knowledge, but I would speculate that it's for approximately the same reasons C allows you to define a byte as 7 bits: Backwards compatibility that let everyone agree on a standard
Happy guy for an existentialist of that period; most were dour and fatalist. I like him!
I replied elsewhere in this thread largely agreeing with your perspective. That felt like a disservice to you, so I deleted it. Here's my positive take:

Often times in computer science we come up with partial solutions wherein we can't quite conquer the fundamental limitations of that solution. We get to 95 or 98%, but that remaining few percentage points that would make all the difference never gets there. I think LLMs may be fundamentally subject to the same dynamic, and despite the fact they can be chained or composed, that dynamic may nevertheless buy us a significant amount of time.

The hype surrounding LLMs right now will ensure over-investment in that particular path, increasing the chances that we end up hitting some type of AI winter again. Yeah, the world will change (and it already has), but maybe there's a fundamental limitation there that prevents a proper superintelligence emerging via way of just chaining these things together.

I don't have as high hopes for a societal chaos-style scenario, but I think we can weather that one. Trust infrastructure will emerge to combat the chaos.

The worst case scenario is that LLMs are indeed missing some fundamental piece required to think in the traditional sense, yet nevertheless constitute a superintelligent tool AI scenario—a set of magic numbers—that pose an existential risk.

If that's the case, there exist innumerable ways to fuck with that. States and corporations have more power than most people realize, and in short order we may find out just how quickly the ability to use a GPU or the internet is a privilege.

While OpenAI blazing ahead is dangerous, what with Anthropic vying to eclipse current GPT-4 scales in response—it may actually pan out to be the best course of action insofar that it wakes up governments to the problem early enough before things get immediately dangerous on an existential level.

---

As for your boy, you already know this—but you need to believe for his sake and your sake that it's all going to be OK, because it actually might be, and that's reason enough to press forward. No sense in wasting the present fretting about the future when it's largely outside of your control; it's a recipe for unhappiness and despair.

Focus on the things within your scope that you have control over. Enjoy the present and indulge in hope. Not everything can be rationally quantified or predicted.
It's also not necessary. The particulate studies that measured gas stoves as being super dangerous were measured in the most impractical scenarios where the room was sealed off with plastic, and not at all reflective of basically anyone's real home.

Well, just like Snowden, he was a trusted IT drone. He likely had access to backups and all the same resources Snowden did. Additionally, there's a lot of damage rogue IT personnel can do with a promiscuous network sniffer.

Nobody invited him to the war room or entrusted anything to him. He was willing to exploit his access to impress some racist idiots on a Discord channel. It is what it is.

Emacs is an interactive lisp environment with at text-oriented interface. Text editing is simply another lisp program that manipulates the interface to work well for this specific task.

Emacs also has a built in email client, RSS reader, IRC client, calculator, file browser, web browser, markup language, regex DSL, Vim emulator, terminal emulator, custom elisp based shell, interactive REPL that works for several programming languages, and probably at least 200 more things that I don't even realize exist yet.

I think this makes it much more than just a text editor for sure. I don't know what you want to call it but operating system doesn't seem too far off the mark even if it's a little hyperbolic.

> Without IP, these artists do not get paid ...

That seems to come from a viewpoint of "everything must be controlled in order for things to work properly".

The reality of the world is that it's messy, and it actually tends to work better for everyone when it's not overly controlled.

Trying to be a control freak about things often just leads to bad outcomes for everyone involved. Both the people doing it, and the people on the receiving end of the control freak. :(

Ironically though, control freaks still seem to blame everyone else but themselves after things turn to shit.

Have seen this happen multiple times, unfortunately.
