Luckily, yes. But lots of other sectors of the economy are.
Are you looking into fixing the drivetrain or the "car stuff" around that? I'd rather not fiddle around with the 400 V system of my EV, but I think most of the other things are still the same.
YouTube has regional pricing so if $16pm is too much for you, VPN into a “lower avg income” country and sign up via a browser.
Then you haven't realized how well what I wrote actually scales. In base 10, 2 operations gets you the whole of single digit multiplication (versus memorizing the whole table just to get it down to 1). It also gets you to 11, 12, 20, 21, 19, 30, 40 (by various use of the append 0 trick to multiply by 10 for free anywhere you want). Now try to work out which multiplications are possible within 3 additions/subtractions? How about 4? You should find the accessible fraction of the number line grows exponentially. Memorizing the whole multiplication table for 2 digit numbers isn't practical. That's a 100x100 table. But a small number of adding, doubling, and halving steps can get you anywhere you want in that table.
This scheme is so obvious that authorities are monitoring such trades and people have been convicted for money laundering by self-trading NFTs this way.

As always, you can definitely get away with this for smaller amounts, but if you go big and/or repeat it for a long time, this has all the potential to come back to you.
Indeed. The same rocket will give a light probe a much higher velocity than a large probe. The launch vehicle for JUICE is the Ariane 5 ECA which can launch 16 tonnes to low earth orbit[1], while the Titan IIIE that launched the Voyagers had a capability of 15.4 tonnes to a (lower) low earth orbit[2]. So the current launch vehicle is a bit more powerful, but not 8 times as much. There are some more powerful (and more expensive) rockets active at the time, but nothing 8 times as powerful as the Titan IIIE.

So NASA has the choice of 1) launching a lighter/smaller probe with less scientific capabilities and endurance, 2) spend $$$ and time developing a much more powerful launch vehicle, or 3) have a few years of patience waiting for JUICE to get to Jupiter on a slower trajectory.

Jupiter has already been visited by multiple probes so sending a small and not very capable probe would not gain us much scientifically. (But this option was taken with the New Horizons probe to Pluto some years ago.) (2) Wouldn't actually be faster and much much much more expensive (see how long the SLS rocket is taking to get done. But mr. Musk is taking this route too with SpaceX's Starship, so this will be an option in the future if all goes well). So that leaves option 3, which NASA has taken. They could probably have opted for an existing more powerful and expensive launcher to shave some years off the transit, but they preferred to wait a bit longer and not spend that money.

Why? Australia did well on the back of exporting commodities. They seem to be able to decide their own future just fine. At least not worse than anyone else.

(They had a bit of manufacturing, but it was mostly ill-fated. A substantial portion came from misguided attempts at industrial policy.)
I think the issue is that, and I'm paraphrasing something which someone else said but which I think reflects what I've seen, nobody (at least in larger companies) wants to be responsible for a bad hiring decision.

While yes, you can get someone who has a good track record of being a good judge of character to make hiring decisions. If that decision goes wrong and the blame game starts then you inevitably ask this person to explain their hiring decision. This person will then reply: well it was my opinion that X, Y and Z.

In the alternative case where you just get someone to follow a rigid process you can answer: Well he scored well on this exercise and the opinion of the team was in his favour and the work history ticked the right boxes. This effectively dilutes the responsibility. You can no longer blame one person for the bad hire.

Lastly there's also the diversity aspect. With companies increasingly being scrutinized for their hiring practices, "it was my opinion" just gets translated to "this person's internal biases guided the hiring process and as such it was not fair."

I agree this is all making hiring much harder than it needs to be. And certainly you can still find companies where the hiring decisions are made on highly experienced and well honed gut instinct (its the only kind of interview I have been a part of) but it also makes sense how in our increasingly overcomplicated world we are developing increasingly overcomplicated hiring processes.

My recommendation is if you want a sensible hiring process (with maybe a telephone screen followed up by one normal interview) you should stick to smaller and less corporate companies.
For smaller documents (but also entire books) you can even perform everything in your browser with JS without any DB or backend using transformers.js. It's surprisingly fast.

The article doesn't touch on it, but this explains why open source advocates prefer permissive licenses like MIT (which is in the OSS view "more free" because they grant more freedom to developers - even the freedom to make their software proprietary!), while free software advocates prefer copyleft licenses like GPL, which grants more freedoms to end users at expense of the developer themselves
Good stuff, but to do all this "at home" requires ample garage space and a solid investment in tools and equipment. It also helps to have non-busy roads in the vicinity, in order to do "test flights" after the fixes. It is certainly helpful as a guide to understand the basic automotive systems and not get scammed at repair shops, but for most people to start wrenching on their car confidently, not so much.
Further up this thread someone reduced a complicated prompt to a simple one with similar results.

> "If you're good at prompt engineering"

Now that's funny. Promptbase.com thinks writing silly prompts is engineering!

Prompt phrases like "photography award" are silly. May as well add "best image in the universe" or "really really really good" etc.

Calling it "prompt engineering" is laughable. Selling prompts even more laughable.
Also it is important to note that GPT shows large miss-alignments. The problem comes from the fact, that it is hard or impossible to give an objective what GPT should be optimized to (nobody knows the truth), so proxys are used. One proxy is that it should make the user happy and the user should give many thumbs up. But this does not mean that it has to give the "correct" answer, which the user himself might not know in the first place. So it invents things because during the reinforcement learning users were happy with these answers. A funny example is the github co-pilot which writes buggy code, because it thinks this is what the user wants. Here is a video about that:

Jupiter makes an orbit around the sun once every 12 years there likely are years where it is closer to earth than others.

Also there are years when it’s retrograde and there are years when it’s prograde so there is that too.

With Voyager it also wasn’t just Jupiter it was an alignment of all the planets which is far rarer.

And again voyager didn’t entered orbit it had a very brief flyby of Jupiter.

Cassini also took a decade to reach Saturn because it needed to enter orbit around it and its moons.
I'm not sure I care. To me, state funded is the same as state affiliated. The important thing is not that npr is labelled one way or the other. Everyone knows what NPR is and what the BBC is. Most fair people figure they have a bias but that sometimes they still do good work. The important thing is that by being consistent, and by labelling journalists and media brands like RT and the Chinese state media organs using the same rules we apply to npr and the BBC, we help information consumers understand when they're likely being propagandized.

Damn. It's no Harry Potter by Balenciaga, but it's surprisingly compelling given that most of it was generated (granted, with prompting) by AI tools. I notice you credited GPT-4, Midjourney, and Metavoice, but was the music AI generated as well?

I've gotta say, I've seen worse storytelling and cinematography come from actual, serious humans who were getting paid to do it. And the Balenciaga thing is obviously a joke, because that whole genre only works because the style of those videos is beyond parody and sails right over the uncanny valley. This is different. This is interesting. I like it.
and in practice maintaining that theoretical anonymity is hard. if you use a distinct amount in a transaction, it'll be visible. if there's a low volume your transaction can be correlated with a high probability, etc.
I think this is measuring '"stars" along a stability scale'. It's possible (but not proven) that stars *might* measure popularity to some degree, but PRs and issues is def a measure of stability -- more issues and PRs means it is changing a lot or has a lot of bugs or new features.

This is not measuring popularity at all.

I guess my case is different because we have multiplication songs in Cantonese. (Not really a song, just multiplication facts.) It takes like 30 seconds to read a full column, and kids were taught to read aloud a column at a time. So just plain old repetition, but easy to catch on after a while. A few short practices everyday in a week would be 15-20 repetitions on a single column, which is a fairly good starting point, and very short practices would minimise mental burdens.
In case one has full time job, the time and money to disassemble, investigate, diagnose, order parts and fix an appliance is comparable with simply purchasing a new one. Make them take away the old one and blame the environmental disaster on plastic straws and cutlery.

Luckily you found some blueprints on the internet! oh bummer... they're in Cyrilic and French...
From what I’ve read, USB-A only had one pair of data pins and needed them to negotiate power delivery, but USB-C does not because it has a new configuration channel pin on each side (which is also used to negotiate modes for the many new data pairs, and detect being upside down).

A 24-pin “serial bus” might be getting a little crazy.
15-30x more expensive doesn't necessarily mean it actually requires 15-30x more computation. I'm certain GPT-4 is extremely profitable; they can charge whatever they want because nothing else like it exists. 3.5 turbo also isn't GPT-3/Davinci, which is still more expensive and often better for non chatbot functions. Additionally, 4 definitely provides at least 15x more value for me than 3.5. Turbo is a toy by comparison. The differences on complex tasks are subtle but profound.

OpenAI just received $10B and had to pause new paid subscriptions because more people were signing up than their hardware could handle. Even if they think it is diminishing returns they can afford to try.
Agree with everything but this:

> Do you have a sense of humour? What do you do on the weekend?

It's none of your business what I do on the weekend. It doesn't need to be similar to what you do.

Otherwise you'll tend to only hire people like you and reduce the pool of talent because you can only work with a very specific type of people.
Does this dynamically load the data from the github API in frontend javascript on every page load?

Le sigh. Apart from the obvious UX issue of waiting for this data to load on every page navigation, a little caching might help avoid sending a DDOS at the GitHub API...
Or moved to another platform like GitLab or self-hosted. Just because it isn't on GitHub, doesn't mean it has ceased being developed *somewhere*.
I definitely feel you. What's interesting is that it seems like a lot of the big popular tools everyone uses all started out this way. Someone thought "man, all the existing solutions suck and I don't understand them - let's make a new one that does only what I need." Then it turns out, many other people also needed that. Then people who need slightly different things come in and knobs are added.
Years ago when I was starting to interview for Uber in Europe I went through some data structure exercise which I failed at horribly. When I asked the hiring manager whether this was representative of the job, because I would probably not be good at it they said "no", and to follow up, when I asked why we did it they said, "in the next round my colleagues in the USA are going to ask you something similar".

I guess this wasn't entirely without sense but sort of seemed to be missing the point.
Huh, well. That's no good. People upvoted me, so I'm assuming it's fixed now. Since you're the only one who's mentioned it, I'm guessing you made it happen, so, thanks. :)

Heh, it's a literal meaning of crime adjacent (presuming that the person in the actual target apartment was actually guilty).

I suspect anyone that was an early adopter of crypto is somewhat considered crime adjacent because so much of the early usage was silk road.

For a while after MtGox was hacked I used BTC-e (yes, I lost money in MtGox). It was later discovered(alleged?) that the operators of BTC-e were involved in laundering money for the MtGox hack[0]. I guess my very presence in that case would be considered crime adjacent.

The criticisms don’t seem valid, though. Projects have to function within the law, and pretty much any popular project has to address these legal issues. Here’s the Linux page about its trademark, for example: https://www.linuxfoundation.org/legal/the-linux-mark

You haven't understood. I'm actually better at multiplying than the average and was ahead of the class. It doesn't matter that I'm doing two addition operations per single digit multiplication, because its very easy to be more than twice as fast at doubling / halving numbers if the only thing you ever care about is doubling and halving numbers. The pain of memorizing the table is wholly unnecessary. Memorizing is for suckers.

It would be impossible to look up anything in a dictionary of infinite length.

Therefore, either the question is nonsensical, or there must exist a word (or words) of a maximum length.
Danish counting is no more base 20 than English (that is, it is until 20). The words for 50, 60, 70, 80, and 90 are derived from an old word for twenty, but it's really no different than English having "twenty", "thirty" and "fifty" instead of "twoty", "threety" and "fivety". It's not like French where 99 is 80+19.
Not at this scale. You can do many transactions in the way that you describe and perhaps withdraw a million dollars, but you can't launder a billion dollars this way.
Practically, they do better with this?

> The times tables, memorized in grade school and fundamental to paper and pencil calculations, are now four times larger.

Why would you expect them to memorize four time larger table? There is zero reason to do so, just because the base number is larger. Also kids don't memorize the whole 10x10 table anyway. They are taught to calculate majority of it.
And that is 379 LOC for an Asteroids clone which includes some inline defined math functions instead of an include to an external math lib. Raylib is great for the GuI stuff (it is an immediate mode GUI, because games), and it is written in C.
> Sure but 1. how much was you upfront cost for either 2. how big is ur family 3. daily commute distance 4. use case

I was responding to your dystopian future of iris and palm scans, but as long as you're moving the goal posts: I have a 20 mile commute one way, we regularly drive longer distances (100+ miles a day is common). We are only 2 people, but each of our cars hold 5 people comfortably (both are SUV class). We even drove from Houston to San Diego and back in one of our cars. As for cost, they were on the higher end, but still within the range of a standard SUV.

> so it is a little like wishful thinking. you may end up being right. you might not, but u r willing to gamble a little

The same could be have been said about high speed Internet circa the year 1999. Cell phone towers. Cell phone battery life. 5G access. Etc. Is it possible the current trends in EV infrastructure and models being produced will grind to a halt? Sure. In five years gas prices could be $12/gallon too, but neither scenario seems likely.

Never argued that. Was responding to your claims re poor and requirements for NEW vehicles.

The big issue I have with newer cars is that the computers mask any developing issues until they get to a point when they just give up.
