Ah, a dim light is starting to flicker.

These lists aren't about homosexuality (or communism or adulterers or whatever), it's about attacking ideological and political opposition. The list makers never include "transgressions" of people aligned with them on their lists. If they can bully and intimidate their opponents about their sexuality they'll do that, if not they'll find something else. That's how these things work.

So I refer you back to Nietzsche.
> because you do use KDE Plasma, right? right?

I do (via Kubuntu), but sometimes I wish I wouldn't - it has lots of annoying bugs that only appear once in a while (not often enough to invest the time to try to fix them, but often enough to be annoying). The most annoying being that ksmserver-logout-greeter sometimes crashes when trying to shut down. And when I want to shut down my PC, it's usually because I want to do something different right now, so having to spend more time getting my PC to shut down correctly (because otherwise, who knows what might happen) is really annoying. That's why overly enthusiastic phrases like this one about how great KDE is kind of rub me the wrong way...
> Calling "media queries" a privacy issue is absurd

The header at media queries says “Fingerprinting resistance”. Some data point like screenwidth doesn’t immediately disclose you identity. But having a few data points helps with fingerprinting.
"Can" is a bit of a stretch imho. It can produce something for every input. Humans are way more accurate in that regard. ChatGPT just feels correct but is mostly wrong.
I think you might be referring to one of the ideas of "AI Paradox". That whenever an AI problem has been solved well enough, it's not called "AI" anymore. Somewhere, I read that at one point, compiling a program was considered an AI task. Don't have the reference for that.
Sure, but that's a theoretical scenario, because this type of applications won't be written anymore. Anything that's relevant in those areas had been started in the early to mid 90's (even the 'newcomer' Blender had been released first in 1995).

Definitely. You can set tiling shortcuts in system settings. Personally, I use my numpad so that e.g. meta + num7 tiles to the top-left. You can also move windows from monitor to monitor that way.
"Alexa, set a reminder for juice in July 2031"
Memorizing the multiplication table is a shortcut that works for small numbers, memorizing a quick method for multiplication works for all numbers.

The table is just an optimization that can come in handy in the same way that cache memory is handy: it gives you the same answer but only for a limited set of data and in a faster way. Eventually you'll have to venture out of cache memory to reach the rest of the space and if cache memory is all you have you're in trouble. So if you can learn only one of the two the method is the better one, so learn that one first, then memorize, as much or as little as you feel like. Up to 20x20 is doable, much larger is useful for squares, powers of two and some other numbers for order-of-magnitude checks but when I'm lazy I'll just break out the calculator. It's useful to be able to do this in your head up to a certain point and beyond I'll use a tool just because it is convenient and faster.
I feel that Midjourney v5 really lets you explore different worlds.

One recent feature the guide missed is the permutation and repeat features [1]. They're quite helpful for power users that want to explore multiple styles quickly.

Last week I tried putting together a short film using GPT-4 and Midjourney v5. I was stunned by the cinematic frames Midjourney v5 was able to create:

I don’t think it’s as big a legal minefield as you suggest. You just need the right integrations in place, and as you said, figure out the regulations (often at a county level). But it’d a solvable problem.

My guess is that this business is very sticky so it’s hard to get new people started… plus you’re making a lot of SKUs in hardware that you need to keep in inventory, software up to date, once you buy the hardware you don’t upgrade it, it’s not very sexy, etc.

>Was kinda hoping for fast deliveries with drones by now instead we get self driving cars. Wish we could go for a future that’s car free in cities and services by drone delivery. Walkable and safe streets.

You don't need to wait for some sci-fi future to get this, you just need to move someplace where this (or something closer to it) is the reality, which means not-America.

Here in Tokyo, the "walkable and safe streets" part is the norm. There's still cars of course, and there's no drone delivery, but you don't really need those things to have walkable and safe streets. You just need high density, and infrastructure designed more for people than for cars (so, very small roads most places, very little parking, low speed limits, sidewalks on all streets except tiny 1-lane residential streets, etc.). And of course you need really good public transit. There's still roads, of course, which is how trucks get around to move cargo and do deliveries, and also how taxis get around, but overall "walkable and safe" describes this place perfectly.

It's not just Japan either: lots of cities in Europe have this as well. Go check out Berlin, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Munich, Prague, or many more.

In a nutshell, if you want "walkable and safe", you need to move out of the US.

Yes, but if nobody else values the output of your particular fork, it hardly matters.

The community ultimately chooses which fork you run if you want to actually participate in a monetary system. Really, that's all this argument is -- any currency exists within a monetary system that is willed into existence by its participants, and no amount of maths will ever change that. It's not like gold had much use for the majority of its history, and yet it became the dominant currency.

> polluting the namespace

Yeh this seems to be the primary problem. You would basically use uuids and end up with your files in a sort of database.

I think this often scares people because they don't know where something definitively lives anymore...and you rely on a tool to access your stuff.

Some people actually prefer a definitive location for things...in order to build a mental map to come back to things. When I am coding I know where to find things quickly based on the shape of the folder structures I browse. Folders just seem natural with many analogies to the physical world...whereas graph clouds such is with tagging are rare.

But I think we must remember that the file system is essentially a database with a tool that one relies on to access the underlying bytes on disk.

That's not quite the same as I meant, sense of time passing is not 'X seconds passed" as these are you are describing when time passed into the text modality (which means it's treated as text), a sense of time passing means it can choose when to generate new text and abstain from generating new text if it's not the right time, it can observe the other modalities passively, etc; this requires continuous-time features and the loop, or alternatively a continuous neural network like spiking networks. Likewise memory with respect to time is is both long-term (lifespan) and short term memory which includes this continuous-time such that it can describe events that it has witnessed and correlate the events by their timing & it's context

Now the reason it's still a "maybe" then is because we would need to reasonably prove it's not a stochastic parrot.

That sentence does sound weird.

Obtaining gratification from one's own mental life in a significant way, that you do not desire to communicate with others, or that you only like communicating through text where you are free to imagine the personalities of the people you're chatting with, should mean one probably suffers from a personality disorder (paranoid, schizoid, schizotypal etc.).

If you were to have a partner where you still primarily obtain gratification from your own mental life, I can't imagine how this partner could feel any love from you, if your priority is to be alone with your dreams most of the time.

I think the far more concerning part is the quote at the end of the article (emphasis added):

> These technologies will also help us to solve more proximate challenges. We will learn to edit the genomes of species that are still alive but in danger of becoming extinct, to help them to adapt to their rapidly changing habitats.

Most species that are in danger of becoming extinct aren't so because of their "rapidly changing habitats" but because of man-made destruction of their habitats. Either directly (e.g. by burning down the rain forest to clear land for agriculture) or indirectly (climate change). Not to mention the various species affected by fishing, hunting and agriculture as collateral damage.

I'm not sure how DNA manipulation is supposed to help with any of this. The closest thing I can think of is "Roundup™ resistant bees" and I shudder at the thought. This feels like it has less potential in preservation and more in creating various GMO livestock.
Simply scaling up the current LLM models will not fix the fundamental problems of hallucination and lack of planing abilities. If they cost $10M+ to train, will scaling that cost 100X (to $1B) really make sense. I find it doubtful that the ROI is there

Consider that GPT4 is 15-30X the cost of GPT3.5, is it really 15-30X better? Not in my experience. I would expect that we are approaching the point of diminishing returns with text based LLMs, at least for the current architectures and training regimes. I'm interested to see what the Large Multi-Modal Models produce, but I suspect the planning & lying will still be there.

Chaining these models will increase the cost even more, without certainty that it will produce usable results for anything beyond simple, context limited tasks.

Imagine how wealthy our society would be if all the claims of by all managers about management success were actually true.

So far as I can tell, nearly all inter-management communication is useless and has, at best, zero impact. Only at the extreme margins or with select relationships does anything useful result. Like you find the IC SME who actually understand the target market, who is willing to sit with your team to set a vision.

Otherwise, nearly all managers you interact with are careerist.
Option types are inherently a bad idea for languages without value semantics. In rust, the Some variant of an option type can just be allocated on the stack at almost no cost, but doing this here would require a million small allocations every time you want to return something. Beyond that, it makes no sense to have union types when every value is already a union of all possible types.

I think you're just reading an ambiguous sentence in a way that obviously wouldn't make sense in context. The question is in a very familiar form: describe a scenario with some assumptions, describe a peturbation, ask what impact the peturbation has. If the context was some annoying internet quiz, the answer might have been a gotcha that the number of people in the queue stay the same.... but this is an econ question it's going to involve how people respond to economic incentives.

> the higher you get in the ladder, the more people are obsessed by "just following the process"

This is definitely not universally true, and it's a red flag if you're hearing it a lot. The tricky part is understanding whether it is subtle feedback from skilled leaders (I can think of a half dozen reasons why this feedback might legitimately be given), or whether you are dealing with muppet leadership who are leaning on a rote processes to mask their own incompetence. The truth is generally somewhere in between, and very hard to ascertain with a good amount of diverse experience and enough time working with the individuals in question to understand their strengths, weaknesses and styles.

> But the thing that always bothered me the most is being in the middle between the people you care about (your team) and the people that tell you to do things because they can't be bothered actually doing them (upper management).

This comment is a sign of immaturity. The point of a hierarchical organization is to be able to maintain some direction while scaling the workforce. Every manager needs to make a decision on how to best spend their time, and delegation is a critical piece of that. Obviously you can and will have differences with your boss from time to time, but fundamentally if you don't have some general faith in leadership above you that their reasons are good, then you're going to be in a rough spot. The belief that you serve your team while leadership is a nuisance to be tolerated and worked around is a toxic mentality. Your job is to create harmony between those perspectives, so the right information is flowing both up and down, and you can't do that if you don't understand where leadership is coming from.

Agreed. Its often easier to teach someone a technical skill, but impossible to change them, if their personality is not a good fit. If they have a tendency to be passive-aggressive or have a code related ocd. Not saying its easy to recognize these characteristics during an interview. I had much more trouble with poor communication skills, rather than lack of technical prowess.

The branding got confused down the road. It was simply KDE for over a decade (maybe two? I don't remember the timing precisely). Then suddenly, a rebrand, KDE is the community of developers and users and Plasma was the desktop environment. Which just about everyone continues to call it KDE.

KDE is a better understood brand than Plasma. It might always be so.
.NET’s Pipeline type is not intended for processing-pipelines (surely that would be Windows Workflow Foundation and SSIS?) - it’s meant to be an alternative (and performance-optimised) API for reading and writing to IO streams without faffing around with the differences between MemoryStream, FileStream, and NetworkStream - like if you’re implementing your own network protocol server and client.

See https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/io/pipelin...

The main problem it seems to solve is processing a text or byte range from a stream (be it an endless SSE/WebSocket stream of messages, or just from a huge (multigigabyte+) file on disk - in a non-blocking/async manner.

> when everyone was coding assembly..

This was before my time, but I think it's a common misconception (only true for operating system development). When C was created, there was already Lisp, Cobol, Fortran, Algol, Simula, BASIC... and SmallTalk and Prolog were just around the corner - and most of those are much higher level than C).
