One thing ChatGPT (specifically, the GPT4 version) keeps doing to me is confidently lying, and when I call it out, apologizing and spitting out another response. Sometimes the right answer, sometimes another wrong one (after a couple tries it then says something like "well, I guess I don't have the right answer after all, but here is a general description of the problem")

Part of me laughs out loud (literally, out loud for once) when it does that. But the other part of me is irritated at the overconfidence. It is a potentially handy tool but keep the real documentation handy because you'll need it.
Is a voice that sounds similar to Drake’s really copyrightable? What if the voice is 20hz higher than Drake’s?

I don’t think you can enforce copyrights on someone sounding like someone else. You obviously can’t claim that it’s Drake, but I’m sure I can release a rap song where I rap like Drake (as many artists already do).
Sure. I think that inevitably life logging will be possible. So what. Or does the author mean that inevitably everybody will be doing it. Nope, i disagree there. If by inevitable the author means legally required. Well, I'll fight like hell against getting ear tagged.

Factually describing the outage doesn’t remove responsibility; whoever didn’t take the first crisis seriously enough will face it soon enough. Right now, they need engineers, the FAA, flight controllers, etc. to unstuck them. Then there will be a blameless diagnostic. Then heads will roll and I’d be surprised if the most demotion won’t be a general manager.
There's no free lunch when it comes to learning signal. The right comparison here is between training on synthetic data and training on the data used to create the synthetic data generator.

Synthetic data doesn't create more learning signal, it just creates more data repeating the same learning signal with some bias assumptions that might as well be in your final model.

The difference is moreso in training times for retraining new models. If you've taken highly disparate data and compressed it into a particularly "juicy" dataset which is smaller, that could bring down training times.

That is to say, it's related to curriculum learning moreso than breaking information theory.
We're slaves to the machine, it's a depressing thought. The whole consumer culture, especially with the digital entertainment nowdays, seems more like an opiate of the masses than religion ever was.

The problem is always something like this: "I'm telling the SEC that I'm doing A, B, C. SEC says it's legal. Later, SEC finds out I'm really doing A, B, C, D, which is illegal"

The SEC isn't dumb enough to be trapped into an opinion that can be twisted around.

> The problem is that this tax change is artificially inflating profits

Not exactly. It's a well-established accounting principle that you capitalize costs that provide a benefit over multiple years. Depreciation is an easy-to-understand example. It's more true that the historic practice of expensing R&D costs was artificially inflating costs.

What the tax change is doing is forcing amortization, which, for early-stage companies is difficult, because they have depended on expensing early and recognizing income later.

It's a difficult issue. There are good arguments on both sides. But it sounds like this was a surprise, which is surely not optimal.

fwiw, when I was running start-ups (80s/90s/00s), my recollection is that we amortized our software development costs. I guess this got turned around by the rise of the sophisticated startup world, with more accountants, lawyers, and lobbyists. And now the government is pushing back, not without reason.
Isn’t the point of code to express what we want in a succinct and expressive way.

If we’re needing all this software to help us, maybe we should look at the languages we’re using and make better more intuitive ones.
I'm not sure why I was downvoted.

It might not be 100% clear, but the user of "4" as part of naming something is not uncommon in common vernacular.

The timing isn't permanent to me, the meaning of using GPT4 will prevail in the long run when GPT5,6,7 goes.

I haven't been an active BSD operator for several years (the old hardware died), but the lack of corporate influence in the DragonFly/Free/Net/OpenBSD might be a space to check out. They've got non-trivial standards for what gets excepted into their source trees, but a significant number of contributors to those projects are professional or (at the very least) lifelong systems coders. OpenBSD would be the best choice if you're into what's current in the hardened systems arena. NetBSD has historically been the OS that runs on nearly every general computing platform that can still boot (I thought I had read something about Net sunsetting support for the vax architecture, but I just checked--still listed on their tier 2 list)

I think he means you can buy a volatility index on the market for CDSs for MBSs, it's a derivative of a derivative essentially.

In this case you would want to be long such a product when people become suddenly concerned about default risk of MBS but you yourself don't want to be long CDSs on those MBS.

A good reason for this could be you are worried that similar to 2008 going long CDSs could leave you subject to intolerable counter-party risk while the vendor offering the derivative could perhaps be more solvent in the case your VIX contracts pay out. Or it simply offers you more leverage, "jacked to the tits" in The Big Short parlence.

Very speculative regardless but that is just how higher order derivative products in finance are.

I've looked at lifelogging, at least the part where you write down a lot and keep statistics on yourself. Not so much about recording life with a camera.

You can do this manually with pen and paper, or free form notes like on a google doc. You can even use a spreadsheet, but those are more of a pain to use. The phone apps I've used aren't much better.

Has anyone found a good solution that works for them?
Well, idk, in my case it was really the transport. In the past I've lived in same area with my friends and we occasionally went to shop, walk together. In covid, I've moved in the opposite part of the city, with bus it'll take me 30 mins to arrive to them, with car, maybe 15-20, but taxi is expensive and I don't own a car+ the hassle to find parking. As result we met only on special occasions like bday or at some specific places in between but it's also not that frequent.

Yes, the fact that they are closed, not open, for one. And that they switched from open to closed the moment it benefited them to do so.
Could you go a bit more in details of what you mean here? What strange things have you seen?
The IETF does not force ASN.1 on anyone. There are many Internet protocols (i.e., with RFCs published by the IETF) that use things other than ASN.1, such as, for example:

- lots of protocols like HTTP and SMTP that use ABNF and text,
- protocols like DNS, SSHv2, and TLS that use ad-hoc syntax and encoding,
- NFSv4 (which uses ONC RPC),
- protocols like XMPP that use XML

and many others.

The IETF doesn't care very much about those details because by the time a protocol has been brought to them for standardization it's already too late to insist on radical changes unless those radical changes are necessary to make the protocol secure or otherwise viable on the Internet.
There's actually a pretty good argument to treat software as capex. It's an asset that allows you to earn revenue over multiple years, and apportioning part of the cost to each year of service is sound from the accounting side. Not a popular opinion, but this is not as arbitrary, crazy, or hidden deep in the weeds of tax law.
You, struanr and struanr's [3] link are mixing up two different methods used to boot a kernel as an EFI application. It's a common mistake, you'll find it made a lot on the internet.

One method is EFISTUB, which is to use the kernel config CONFIG_EFI_STUB to compile the kernel as a UEFI application. That's what struanr's [1] is about. This method does not bundle the initramfs so the initramfs must be present separately on the ESP so that the kernel EFI process can find it. If you plan to use Secure Boot you can sign the kernel but not the initramfs, and AFAIK there's no way to make the kernel verify the integrity of the initramfs in any other way. So using this method defeats the purpose of Secure Boot.

The other method is to use an external UEFI stub like the one provided by systemd-boot, etc. In this case you use a tool like dracut / ukify (new in systemd v253) to create a UEFI application using an externally provided stub (systemd-boot in dracut and ukify's case, I also remember seeing a tool that used gummiboot's stub) plus a regular kernel plus the initramfs. The initramfs becomes a PE section and the stub sets up the kernel cmdline to use it. The UEFI application is thus self-contained, and signing it lets Secure Boot guarantee correctness of both the kernel and the initramfs. This is what struanr's comment and their [2] and [3] links are about, even though their comment and [3] link claim to be about EFISTUB.

Note that a lot of distributions enable CONFIG_EFI_STUB by default anyway, so even for the first method you may not have to compile your own kernel.
I appreciate this as a dry joke, but I think the original name might have been named to stay that way for a while, to keep the community attached to such a movement.
It really does come down to management. There are ways to make computer systems reliable but private companies seldom have the budget, will, organization, or patience to develop their systems to those specs.

In lieu of that management should require business resiliency processes allowing the business to continue manually when the computer systems inevitably fail.
I live in a city of about 100k people and there are a couple of groups that match my interests. If there wasn't, I would just make one, and I might make one anyway.

The idea is to make a weekly group for one of your hobbies, maybe you like to play basketball (for example sake). That way, if nobody shows up, that's fine, you were going to work on your free throws anyway. If 1 person shows up, now you can play 1-1. If 2 people show up you can play horse, etc.
I consider others and my company, good actors in the space: think about the space critically and giving transparent feedback and scenarios between the skepticism and the utopia.

I think the situation can be summed up nicely by Matt Levine:

> "There is a traditional financial system, and crypto has built a different system, and the SEC has pretty much everywhere said “nah, you gotta follow the traditional system.” And crypto people have said “well we can’t really do that because ...” and the SEC has said “shh, shh, we don’t care.”

Barring an act of congress to change the purview of the SEC, I don't think there is much to stop them. Maybe there was a chance before the FTX debacle and fallout - but I think now the SEC sees the industry as weak enough to strangle with a pillow.

Good and bad, regulators act as white blood cells for the systems they regulate. Their obsession is always going to be to root out abnormalities and protect the host.
> I'm referring to the behaviour, not the inner nature.

Since the inner nature does affect behavior, that's a non sequitur.

> we had to invent counter-intuitive maths to make most of our modern technological wonders.

Indeed, and that's worth considering, but we shouldn't pretend it's the common case. In the common case, the machine's lack of real-world context is a disadvantage. Ditto for the absence of any actual understanding beyond "word X often follows word Y" which would allow it to predict consequences it hasn't seen yet. Because of these deficits, any "intuitive leaps" the AI might make are less likely to yield useful results than the same in a human. The ability to form a coherent - even if novel - theory and an experiment to test it is key to that kind of progress, and it's something these models are fundamentally incapable of doing.
That’s a fair point given what I’ve written above. However, there’s more to it that I didn’t get into. Suffice it to say that I’m not basing that solely on the two interactions described above.
Be grateful - at least you weren't born in an AI-controlled human farm created to inflict as much suffering onto humans as possible. Poverty and famine are only a reflection of your privilege as a free human.

This reminds me again that the carbon climate crisis is tangled up with democracy itself and cannot be separated.

Our best chance to do the massive changes needed requires national gov level buy-in by all the world's biggest nations. Which requires a sane party to be dominant in each of them, controlling the levers. And that means we need to ensure enough voter buy-in to put them in those seats.

As much as one would love to avoid politics its become impossible now to remain on the sidelines if you truly want to save our future. Our lives, and those of all our children and grandchildren are clearly at stake.

> You're dealing with principles of communism here.

I don't know, the reasoning seems simpler than any school of thought can offer. Humans are bound to 14-16 waking hours per day. A large portion of those hours are taken up by obligations like work or chores. That leaves a set amount of time to consume media created by other humans. Even if more free time could be had, there will always be a hard biological limit of about 14 waking hours to consume things.

But more and more humans are being born and learning the arts, so combined with instant global communication they will inevitably produce and distribute way more than can be crammed into those hours. Look at a random streamer's Let's Play history for an example. If they play a longer JRPG then they can leave a trail of many hours-long videos per week depending on how long their sessions last. Sometimes that's to the exclusion of every other game in existence. It's a bit sobering if you think about it.

I read a book called The Plenitude by Rich Gold who discusses some of these topics. He doesn't go as far to give a fully workable solution to the problem but one of his suggestions is to challenge creators to limit themselves to 5 "big creations" over their entire life, and focus on honing those creations to the greatest extent. It's an interesting book and I'd recommend it.

Are there any areas in the maps where a lower area extends beneath a higher area? If not, could you use a single block of acrylic and just laser-ablate to different depths instead of cutting each layer separately and then gluing?

I don't know if all laser cutters support that kind of operation, but I had some badges and a wax seal stamp like that made at a makerspace about a decade ago. I brought in PostScript files[1] where different colours were assigned to different depths on the cutter. The depth was remarkably precise and consistent - it looked like it had been performed using a tiny CNC router.

[1] I think? I made them in InkScape, but the makerspace couldn't use SVGs directly.
It's the idiotic American zoning laws. If an are is zoned for single family homes, you can't even put up a 7-11 in there. Even though it'd have booming business 24/7 just from people grabbing stuff ad-hoc that they forgot during their grocery run...

Instead people have to get into their 7-11 -sized trucks and drive to a store with a parking lot that's larger than many European neighbourhoods.

I ran into neko recently which has similar. It's more application centric than desktop centric, but both offer multi-player experiences & I just think that is the absolute coolest.

I hope someday hardware video encoding & modest sized slices of gpus (VDI) becomes a regular offering on cloud systems. These projects feel well suited to home servers, but to really run very well it feels harder to do on the cloud. Being able to share these huge beefy gpus we have, to parcel up the many 1080p encoders should be a straight shot to blowing the cloud market wide open but alas dividing up these resources is harder & more expensive than it should be.

This is how I met most of my current friends, as well. I was at a local bar one night on what turned out to be trivia night. There were a few of us who didn't know anybody well but had seen each other at the bar before, so we decided to form a team to win some of our tab back.

Fast forward 8 or so years. We no longer do trivia, but get together just about every week along with the siblings, childhood friends, girlfriends, and wives that have joined us over the years.

It's a little strange to think of how different my life would be had I not been at that bar on that night, but that's how these things work: you put yourself in a situation where something social is going on, and all that's standing between you and making some new friends is saying "yes."
Yeah, I cannot really see how they can defend their position here. That will be an interesting case to follow, Coinbase legal team will have to be _creative_.
The problem is that “charging” that hydrogen battery uses enormous amounts of energy and produces large amounts of CO2. Until you can find a way to get hydrogen that does not produce CO2 and does not require much more energy than the electricity that goes into a li-ion battery, hydrogen is a non-started.
Dots are used to denote that the previous character is an initial for a longer word. Since "et" is a whole word you only put the dot after the "c" that stands for "cetera" so "e.t.c" is kind of a hypercorrection like octopi, ignorami, or habañero.
