It's not so much as there is a "longer version" designed and sitting around, but more that the wings were built with a potential future, longer fuselage variant in mind. This is more evident if you look at a top-down view of it and note that the wing-to-fuselage ratio is higher than that of other planes, similar to how the 747-SP looks much shorter in length than its wings should be designed for. There's more details on the Wikipedia page for it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airbus_A380#Variants_proposed_...
Is this maybe a case where you may be mistakenly confusing record in the technical / computer sense, as opposed to record as meant in the legal sense ? Because your three last questions do not make sense in the legal view.

> The real debate is about whether "off the record" text can exist at all, and if so, under what conditions/duration

This question makes no sense, as you what you are asking is "can i not make a record, when i make a record of something to transmit it to someone else"

> Are captions on a video call a text record? Do those need to be retained?

Yes and yes, of course. It's legally a record. Again, this questions makes very little sense legally.

Lol - that is by definition disagreeing with the first sentence that I said in our conversation. You disagree that it is "incredibly valuable" and have spent every comment saying that the overall impact of ChatGPT for developers is "negligible overall."

You do disagree with me... and that's OK =)

> Much of it wasnt meant to be relevant for decades, it was meant to be ephemeral topical entertainment, and functionally intended to be disposable.

Video games are a sore subject in my house... I grew up with them and I turned out arguably okay (healthy, employable, sociable, etc). But my wife thinks they are the bane of society. And it wasn't until recently that I realized how much the "endgame" of video games has shifted since my childhood in the 90s. Back then, it seemed like the majority of games had an actual end, or they continued to get progressively painfully harder, or both. The number of mainstream games that went on 'forever' (and encouraged you to keep playing) seemed much lower. Now it seems like it's quite the opposite, and of course its the addicting, never-ending, always-online games that our kids and their friends want to play.

For now I'm mostly letting my kids play on one of those mini Super Nintendos with a bunch of built-in games, which they always eventually get tired of and decide on their own to go do something else. When it's Minecraft... I basically have to peel it out of their hands.

Let's not get too carried away, shall we? At least the 346 people that died in the two 737-MAX crashes would probably question your "unqualified success" statement. But yes, no one can deny that the 737 has been a cash cow for Boeing (for far too long, some would say).
When you start a comment with "the problem is" and then also add "customers are hurt", well, I would say it's not unreasonable to infer you are expressing a negative opinion on public traded companies.

Especially considering I had a switch cartridge fail after the warranty period recently. They wanted $40 or something to fix it. I had to "speak to the supervisor" to haggle a better rate.

Yeah, Chatgpt is as good as you know how to ask it questions. I have been studying clojure concepts and I too would have taken more time than an afternoon in understanding them.
The prompt injection methods reminds me a lot of hypnosis and neuro-linguistic programming techniques used for belief and behavioral modification.

Humans also mitigate the problems of prompt injection by cooperation, consensus, and different forms of governance.

Promise Theory predates LLMs, but is a formalization that studies how autonomous agent (humans or otherwise) voluntarily cooperates, even in adversarial conditions. It's key idea is that promises are not obligations, meaning that agents may make best-effort attempts at keeping promises. Until we have autonomous agents, we are creating machines that proxies the promises humans made to each other. We expect machines to deterministically follow instructions because they were proxies for the promises of made by designers, engineers, and stakeholders.

True autonomous agents makes and keep their own promises. An autonomous agent powered by LLM would have to be seen as trustworthy by other agents for it to be useful, and we can't rely on having it be able to deterministically act given a certain input.
Few Banks Are Hedging Interest-Rate Risk
Feels like Microsoft already beat them to the punch. Their ONNX toolkit has better ARM optimization than Apple's own Pytorch patches, and their collaboration with OpenAI places them pretty far ahead of the research curve. I'm convinced Microsoft could out-maneuver Apple on local or remote AI functionality, if they wanted to.
> One thing that I still dislike is the absence of something like the Unix manual pages. For some reason, help pages require additional installation, and the learn.microsoft.com search is so awful that it's often quicker to use DDG with "site:learn.microsoft.com".

I haven't found a case where `Get-Help` hasn't met most of my need for something like Unix `man`. `Get-Help` is even by default "helpfully" aliased to `man` in PowerShell.

It is weird that sometimes you need to `Update-Help` somewhat frequently, especially if you install a lot of modules regularly, but some tools have gotten better at calling it automatically after module installs and I believe the PowerShell 7+ installers have gotten better than before about making sure the built-in modules are all up-to-date at install time and not just uninstalled/missing. It's also not that weird when you look at how complicated man page installation is in most distributions of Unix (even if it feels magic when it works).

Also, the `-Online` argument to `Get-Help` sends your default browser to the relevant learn.microsoft.com documentation page for most commands. That's a very handy shortcut to searching in my experience.

> A more immediate way of getting some action would be to talk to some of the directors with films on the list and encourage them to get their movies released digitally. Ron Howard and James Cameron are obvious candidates.

Interesting side note: a couple of years back, I wanted to buy The Abyss on blu-ray. When I went to look, all I could find were DVD versions and a crappy fake blu-ray version where someone had just ripped a DVD and transferred it to blu-ray (seriously).

After a bit of digging, I came to find out that there is no blu-ray version of The Abyss because (basically) Cameron has been holding it up. I don't recall the exact details, but it has something to do with him wanting to oversee it personally, yet simultaneously never bothering to actually bother to get it done.

Looked again just now and supposedly the work has finally been done (?) and it was to be available last month, yet as of right now it's not available on amazon, so who knows..

As Substack pivots from VC driven growth at all costs to needing to actually be profitable, they will slowly chip away at every one of those facets: domain will get more expensive (likely monthly), email list will be locked down or paid, content export, and even payment portal likely changes to be through them.

They have to justify a valuation at some point and it will happen. This happens with every VC company, they grow because they do unsustainable things, then pivot to ruining the platform.
That will be an excuse for more legislation and policing, not a reason to give up. That said, I don't think the headline here is accurate, it looks like they're talking about (lol) assault knives (if you like) and not expecting to apply this to kitchen knives. Doesn't make it less dumb.
Not the person you asked, but chiming in. Two things:

First, GPT-4 is far more capable than 3.5 when it comes to not hallucinating. The 'house style' of the response is, of course, very similar, which can lead one to initially think that the difference between the two models isn't as significant as it is. Since I don't have API access yet, I do a lot of my initial exploration in 3.5-Legacy, and once I've narrowed things down a bit, I have GPT-4 review and correct 3.5's final answers. It works very well.

Second, and this is more of a meta comment: How people use ChatGPT really exposes whether they use sanity checks as a regular part of their problem solving technique. That all of the LLMs are confidently incorrect at times doesn't slow me down much at all, and sometimes their errors actually help me think of new directions to explore, even if 'wrong' on first take.

Conversely, several of my friends find the error rate to be an impediment to how they work. They're good at what they do, they're just more used to taking things as correct and running with it for a longer length of time before checking to see if what they're doing makes sense.

I do think that people who are put off by this significantly underestimate how often people are confidently incorrect as well. There's a reason the saying trust but verify is a common one.

I think that is more telling of the substack content you were reading, This is like people that complain YT feeds them more of the same content they watched??

If read a bunch of stacks that are complaining about social change why would you expect substack to recommend you sports content....

>>After a while, you will get tired of that narrative.

You might, others do not.
That's not the same thing. The article is talking about movies that are completely lost. No-one has a backup and no-one will ever see them again.
Have you read what you're replying to? I said that I don't disagree "that using ChatGPT for simple boilerplate code can be valid". It's a completely different thing than what you're implying.

We're commenting under an article that talks about how ChatGPT supposedly makes most of human's skills worthless. Similar sentiment can be seen in many places when it comes to programming. It can't do that if all it helps with are some trivial snippets sometimes. It's helpful for getting boilerplate going, but getting help with boilerplate has negligible effect on programmer's work.
Much of the change doesn't seem like a very big deal. They aren't "doing away with" kiosks entirely, just replacing the current interfaces with ipads.

But this line jumped out at me:

> These bag drops will also mark the first time Alaska will use biometric data to authenticate travelers

That's a hard "no" from me. I don't want yet another company, with likely shoddy software and security, handling biometric data.
The image tags on that page need `loading="lazy"`. This made me curious what contributing to the wikipedia application (not articles) is like. Anyone have any insight/info on this?
I like the a380 because it treats the lowly economy passenger (i.e., me) the best of all the large planes. It has the most headroom (even though it has two stories) so the cabin feels more airy and less cramped. So this is good news.
So your users are or aren't sending code fragments to your servers?

It doesn't matter if the model is OpenAI's or yours. If inputs are source code and it runs on a server outside the company, it's a fireable breach of security protocol to use it.
Latency, bandwidth, signal to noise, etc. are all different by orders of magnitude
If you want to make a change, you must solve the WHOLE problem, not just the part you want to solve.

You need to make that valve easy to operate, operate in a sensible way (flip right to the right fuel tank, not left tank, have a 'both' setting, etc.), and make it ergonomically work.

In this case, the ergonomic issue could have been solved with a "dead pedal" right next to the right rudder. This is a fixed surface adjacent to the pedal in the cockpit wall you can put your foot on and press. There is one to the left of the clutch in most well-setup sportscars. With this, the pilot could press and reach around without any input on the rudders.

But, this "builder" couldn't be bothered to actually solve the problem and he killed a bunch of the pilots using his update, including John Denver. Criminal, if you ask me.

My bias, I make money on Medium using my medium blog as a newsletter(recent traffic analysis puts $100 per 1000views per month current month is 30k views and 300 income thus far for April).

To make any paid newsletter work you have to have other sites where they get short-form snapshots of free content that act as advertising for the paid content, not mine view...garyVee's own content stack philosophy. This is why Taibbi was jumping up and down about his stuff being blocked on Twitter as he was posting free short-form content to advertise his substack newsletter.

It's not a simple as the author theorizes.

For example for me to reach the magical 500k per month views I have to make 500 short-form or more posts to places like LinkedIn and Instagram.

Not saying that Substack will not reach some form of reach in the social media economy just that the author has not a clue how creating content in the social media space actually economically works.

Other things I do not know yet:
-Several GDE's have sponsors for their own dev/design flutter app content, I have no idea if their sponsorship income is more or less than my currently monthly earnings. My own best guess is that it might be a little higher but not much.

My content stack progress path looks like this

coding apps->medium long form articles-paid->short form snippets in reel-shorts as slides->mini-guidebooks-paid->paid ui kits->paid books->paid-video courseware

Just thinking out loud, maybe someone else gets some use of seeing the path and work involved.
Not sure what you mean. The Middle East is making out like bandits, it makes a sizeable percentage of the GDP in south and East Asia etc. it just feels like you’re putting Norway on a pedestal for no particular reason.
An app I was designing about six years back would have been something that some would use in their yard and others would use in a national park.

In the yard you have extreme latency. Sooner or later you'll get thirsty and you'll walk into WiFi distance.

In a national park there's no connectivity. You won't be able to get or receive anything until long after the moment has passed. None of the answers you get will be relevant anymore for most people (what percent of people who visit a national park visit the same one over and over again?).

Then I realized screen contrast wasn't 'there' yet so I shelved it, got busy, and there it remains collecting dust.
It runs three fairly slow queries on GPT-4, checks if the domains are available, that there aren't any registered trademark issues.

It takes roughly 6 mins to run everything. Maybe a better choice would have been to show the results as they became available.
Quite the opposite actually.

Studies have found that those who pirate content tend to purchase significantly more content than the average person.
Indeed, I stand corrected. Maybe Qt 6 will give it a glowup befitting of a non-early-2000s Autodesk tool.
> want from Substack is an all-you-can-eat model where I pay a base fee and they sort out who gets what based on what I read

This doesn’t work for high-cost content. Ultimately, if a writer can’t find readers who find their work worth the friction of paying for it, I’m not sure they’re adding value going solo.
You may be suffering from a recommendation system flaw. I subscribe to several Substack newsletters and have no content similar to what you've described. Instead, I read mostly about economics and parenting.
How are you supposed to scan a boarding pass if there's no kiosk to print one? Are they expecting everyone to print them out at home? Surely not...

This news fills me with discomfort, in the same way that restaurants which lack menus do ("just scan our QR code, then scroll endlessly on your tiny screen!") Really not a fan of bottlenecking every service through smartphones, which are OK for killing time on light entertainment, but really suck for getting anything practical done.
Relevant portion about iPads vs kiosks. Big fan of doing more software in house!

> Any change on the kiosk, you’d have to work with a vendor and that takes about six weeks. With [iPads], we can roll out changes very quickly and it’s a very simple and good user experience.

>What usefulness does that sentence hold?

What usefulness do objective facts and the truth hold?

>It is true that in our society some people who you'd socially describe as men are able to get pregnant

That is not true at all. It's actually a gross inversion of the truth, a foundational feature of Big Lies. There are trans-men, who are actually women, that may get pregnant, but they're by definition not men. They are human females, AKA women. No amount of cross-dressing and body mutilation will change that.

>because they have biologically female sex organs

Yes, they're women. Glad we agree.

>We also know that following their social wishes (i.e. referring to them as men) dramatically increases their quality of life.

"We also know telling schizophrenics that the coffee maker IS indeed an evil demon and removing them from the office will dramatically increase their quality of life."

No, feeding into delusions will not increase their quality of life.

>Given these facts

"Given the fact that the coffee maker is a demon".

>can you really not understand why people see that sentence as transphobic?

"can you really not understand why not believing that coffee makers are demonic is schizophobic?"

>It doesn't accurately describe our social landscape, and it hurts some of the more vulnerable among us.

It does accurately describe our social and biological landscape. If biological realities, truth, and objective facts hurt "the most vulnerable among us", it sounds like they have a mental illness.
I think it's the addicive nature of social media is causing mental illness. Lack of sleep, lack of time to just let the mind wander (=lack of time to actually lift your gaze from the small and take care of your bigger things in life).

It can of course be a mixture of several effects.
