That wasn’t always the case - there used to be street cars between Brooklyn and Queens for example.

It's not just transactional - i.e., 'we benefit so we pay'; don't let the reductionists frame the debate.

We also should do it because people deserve freedom and opportunity. It's the Land of Opportunity, not the land of rapacious capitalism; it's the Land of Hope and Dreams, not of self-dealing.
I have yet to see a country where licensing equates to high quality in all the services. The examples I've used might not work in some places, but people find flaws in licensing systems all the time.

Sometimes licensing is so strict that things get done anyways ignoring license requirements because there is way more demand for some services than the supply of licensed professionals. In such cases, there are so many people violating regulation that policing becomes ineffective. It's the case with some Latin American countries.

And then you get to the problem that the license is ineffective and doesn't add to anything.

There's no perfect system to uphold quality of labor across a profession, we pick our poison and deal with it.

Do you have an actual argument, or do you just plan on name-calling until people shut up and fall in line?

Oh ok, I guess they can fire Sundar Pichai/Mark Zuckerberg when he underperforms, then? What? They don't own enough stocks to do that?

There you go. That's your problem.
never understood the issue with go error handling. As soon as you start dumping exceptions as a valid error forwarding mechanism ( which seems like a totally acceptable design decision), you end up manually having to check every call you make that can raise an error, on each line.

I don't really see any alternative. It also makes you carefully think about how you plan on managing errors in your codebase, which also seems like a very sane thing to enforce.
Agreed. Low-N solutions should optimize for simplicity rather than cost, but simplicity tends to favor LDOs too.

PSA: Watch out for residual flux residue on your voltage dividers! I've seen parallel resistance as low as 50k. If your rails come up at the wrong voltage they can fry your expensive chips! Consider investing in packaged LDOs at the exact voltage you require.
I'm now 45, and couldn't buy a house until I was well into thirties, and even then it was damned difficult. About a third of my friends still haven't managed it. Difference with us is that we just accept life being difficult and don't bitch about it.

This doesn't fit the narrative that gen-zedders are being fed, and so they downvote your statistics and move on, because somehow their internet points change reality.

I get it, it's easier to blame the world than admit life's just hard for everyone, but I cringe when I think this generation is going to be in charge of everything soon. The only thing I trust them to run, is us into the ground.

> . What else hasn't been researched enough and has simplistic assumptions baked into the climate models?

Simplistic assumptions does not necessarily have favorable outcomes, on the contrary, it's more likely that climate change is worse than what we think it is because of our assumptions. Also climate models are insanely complex, usually contain thousands of equations that sum up the research efforts over the last hundred years, it's not some simple model that one guy can implement in an evening as you are basically trying to simulate the whole earth from the scale of plant stomata and molecular diffusion to the entire boundary layer plus the interactions and feedbacks between the different parts of the earth system.

Are you considering any compression algorithm?
Cutting CH4 is useful for fighting climate change, but in a different way than cutting CO2.

In terms of climate change it’s not a 10 years thing and then methane instantly swaps, it’s a second by second thing where a percentage of existing methane is constantly converted. In steady state new methane from say cow farts 1:1 replaces methane from past cow farts being transformed into CO2. The only difference is an atom of CH4 at 16.043 grams per mol weigh less than an atom of CO2 at 44.009 grams per mol. Though many sources of CH4 start by extracting atmospheric CO2, natural gas leaks don’t.

The critical difference is if we cut net CO2 and hold methane steady the atmosphere stops warming, where cutting methane and CO2 would actually cool the atmosphere.

Put another way NEW sources of methane are different because it takes multiple years to reach an equilibrium. In the first years they have a very big impact, but eventually it falls off until eventually a constant source of CO2 may actually have a larger impact.
That's the trillion dollar question.

My belief is that generative AI probably breaks both the letter and the spirit of the law, but it also renders the law pointless because its existence, at whatever quality level, means there's no longer a commercial justification for copyright to exist to protect creative output of that level or lower.

But there might be an evolutionary/signalling reason (think peacock tail) that overrides the commercial.

Which, as a corollary, also means that with double income now being the norm, prices are basically doubled on their own. This also means everyone who doesn't participate in comphet can get fucked.
Also, renting from a private landlord and owning are not the only two options that can exist. Social housing can be incredibly stable as well, and there are lots of different possible models for social housing.

I read an article recently (can't find it immediately) proposing a social housing mechanism where you pay into it via rent and gain equity not in the specific housing unit itself, but rather in the social housing program as a whole. Kind of like a REIT, only at a certain point you get an entitlement to a housing unit and no longer have to pay rent, as if you'd paid off a mortgage.
No, I did not prove that this was all the cases - not even that this was all the rational cases. I tried, years ago (I literally made this post by trying to recall what I had found over 40 years ago), but I did not find a proof that this was all the possibilities.
Prompt engineering is as valid as software engineering (of the non-certified kind). Why is it engineering?

Technical expertise. It is technical in nature, or only one level removed from having to look at code or internals. Unlike customer support--strictly speaking--you have access to additional tools or authorization to investigate the matter.

Domain expertise. You know that some phrases just don't help. You know about temperature and other jargon. You can look at someone's paragraph of prompt and immediately suggest something.

Stakeholder safety. You act in a manner that eliminates or reduces stakeholder harm. You care about your work.

If any of these are missing, it's not "engineering." Not to mention the importance of measuring things, data, etc--but I would hazard that being able to stare at graphs all day does not an engineer make.

At the end of the day, if your job title is "Prompt Engineer," who will object?

I don't understand how audio interfaces are intended to scale in groups. How would an audio interface work in a cube farm, in a grocery store, in a restaurant?

Same thing with VR interfaces: if I walked into my workplace and a third of the people were wearing their VR masks, I wouldn't work there long. Even VR masks come with headphones/headphone-interfaces, though...
the issue is to detect these while maintaining stealth.
Spreadsheets get a bad rap, particularly from software developers. However, even as a dev myself, I've always found them to be surprisingly powerful and a great tool for people who can bridge their gap in coding skills using formulas to build data-driven declarative capabilities. It might not be as powerful or performant as SQL or Pandas, but it's rather impressive given that you can do it off-the-shelf within a widely-used application.

I've seen non-technical people build some really cool things off of the back of spreadsheet data using things like AppSheet and Google Looker Studio (not sure why they changed the name from Data Studio). And now with Excel adding a ChatGPT formula and Google Sheets adding their own AI-driven features, power and non-power users alike will be able to really up their capabilities using only plain-language queries without having to devise complex algorithms or formulas (I realize ChatGPT isn't flawless yet).
I think that we'll have to do not one, two or three big changes, but maybe hundreds/thousands of small ones.

"Human activities contribute significantly to the total amount of methane emissions in the atmosphere. According to the Global Methane Budget, human activities account for about 60% of global methane emissions, while natural sources account for the remaining 40%.

To put this into perspective, it is estimated that human activities emit about 330 million metric tons of methane per year, while natural sources emit about 230 million metric tons per year. Human activities that contribute to methane emissions include livestock farming, waste management, and energy production, as well as other activities such as rice cultivation and biomass burning.

While natural sources of methane, such as wetlands and wildfires, are also significant contributors to methane emissions, human activities have increased the amount of methane in the atmosphere by about 150% since pre-industrial times. Therefore, reducing human emissions of methane is crucial for mitigating the impacts of climate change."

The minimum wage for a minor in Arkansas is 85% of the normal minimum wage. It is $4.25 for the first 90 days (read summertime job).

If employers were forced to pay minors at the actual minimum wage this advocacy would evaporate.
I've lost respect for him completely now. I feel like the only ones who would still respect him are his fellow IIT/Stanford/Wharton grads but there's just nothing to like about the guy. Ask yourself if he has ever done anything useful in this field, and the answer will always be no. He's never founded anything, innovated anything technical and has just been a yes man to Larry and Sergey.

Sure, "Don't trust anyone over 30!" (or 25, or...) is just a claim that the preceding generations are too invested (in both senses) in the status quo to consider sweeping changes. Of course, sometimes sweeping changes are for the worse, so that doesn't seem to me like best battle cry, really.
Climate change will continue to be the cover story for demands of self-sacrifice. Lots of 22 year olds currently think eating meat, owning a car, and traveling by plane are climate-irresponsible and have sworn off, or significantly reduced, doing so. Before too long, the argument will become that living in a house -- all the materials to build it, and especially the energy required to heat and cool it -- as opposed to a common-space dorm-like setting, is heavily wasteful, climate-unfriendly and selfish. This will suffice to eliminate any threat of protest. And if not, the powers that be will simply magnify other auxiliary stories that people actually do get out and protest about.
I think it let everyone to really lock down their APIs. I used to meet startup founders who unironically told me their monetization plan was to mine users contacts and other information and sell it on. "Everybody's doing it" they'd tell me.

I think people are only annoyed at Apple because they use that same locked down information for their own services, including their ad network. Though of course Facebook does that too.
Ezoic: Improve Revenue, Performance, & Grow Traffic Faster
I had family that worked at a news paper back before the boom of the internet, and something that most people nowadays don’t seem aware of is that even then, most news papers relied heavily on something called the Associated Press (AP). If you ever read a news paper and saw the symbols “(AP)”, this meant that the story was picked up from “the wire”. That wire was reference to telegraph technology from the 1800s, and it carried a plethora of stories submitted from associate news papers around the US. Given the distributed nature of “biases”, it is considered collectively to be “in the middle”.

Going deeper in terms of analysis, in the US, the PBS news hour is the highest quality.

Internationally, I read Reuters which seems similar to how the AP works, but I don’t have anything to compare it to.

The main use of computers in school should be teaching typing, word processing (and it probably should be with Word), number crunching and mathematics, and perhaps a little bit of graphics processing.

I agree that Excel should be taught, but also something like Mathematica (or some other CAS, rather than forcing TI calculators on kids). Python, perhaps through Jupyter Notebooks, would also probably be good too.

Strange he mentions Chinese but not Chinese Chess (Elephant Chess).

In Chinese Chess, more or less all the original names have been retained, whereas they have changed radically in Western chess as discussed.

Chinese chess pieces (and their rough positional but not power equivalents in western chess) are: the General (king), the Advisor (queen), the Elephant (bishop), the Horse (knight), the Chariot (rook), the Soldier (pawn), and famously the Cannon.

Learning to say what you want is a skill. Much like you can get better at searching, you can get better at saying what you want.

The framework described in the blog post seems like a more formal way to do it, but there are other ways to iterate in conversation. After seeing the first result, you can explain better what you want. If you're not expecting to repeat the query then maybe that's good enough?

I expect there will be better UI's that encourage iteration. Maybe you see a list of suggested prompts that are similar and decide which one you really want?

After reading through all the comments, I'm surprised that no one has looked at this from a Siri-centric perspective [except for the comment about Clippy ;)].

To me this looks like laying the groundwork for centralizing the most relevant and important information about yourself, which so crucially includes the contexts you are in! and are so often painstaking to actually record in detail when journalling manually. For what purpose? I genuinely think this leads to a Siri that's finally useful in a way that leapfrogs everything and everyone else out there. Think GPT-4(+) with an insane amount of detail and context tailored to you, and (hopefully!) executed in a way that re-affirms Apple's stated commitment to privacy and security.

I have only the most cursory understanding of ML technology but have obviously been trying to follow along with everything pretty much since DALLE-2 made such a splash. With some of the impressive performance shown in smaller models, sometimes with different quantization, I think that Apple Neural Engine silicon might be getting more attention soon... okay, "soon" is probably over-optimistic. But – in September '22 I asked online about running Stable Diffusion[0] on M1 chips on iPad, since I was able to run it on an M1 Mac Mini. The 8-ball said "outlook not so good," and yet by November 8th liuliu had it running on _iPhone_[1]. These are truly interesting times.

[0] I know this is not a 1:1 comparison. But Llama ran on my MacBook without any CoreML optimization. Maybe there will be a tier of requests that could be handled by a smaller model on-device, and more complex stuff heads to the datacenter. I am an amateur at best; don't listen to me.

Of course they can argue it, that's what is happening. They are going to sue the government. Why? Because the SEC refuses to even have a conversation about things. They've been trying, for years, to do so. This isn't some random small company, this is a public company that the SEC should be supporting with better answers than just refusing to even meet.

Worse off, along this same thread, Gensler doesn't even have basic answers to questions that he was prepared for.

I'm sort of amazed the "ancient brand under license" business idea hasn't burnt itself through over the years.

It's so often applied to products that are huge shifts from what their original credibility was in, and/or with a huge gap, long enough for any original brand equity to have seemingly reset.

Furthermore, it's almost exclusively used in low-end markets where they aren't even trying to say they're competitive with today's leaders.

I could see it working better if it was an immediate cutover, potentially where existing designs and R&D were licensed along with the deal. Then you're still exploiting "fresh" brand equity rather than trying to engage in brand necromancy. Maybe there's a short enough gap for Philips to pull that out, but in the US, their brand was sort of shot already for a lot of consumer goods. They mostly traded as Magnavox or briefly Philips/Magnavox, and it seems they mostly ended up in markets like rent-to-own shops (where they want to sell marginally different crap from Walmart so you can't directly cost-compare and realize that $20 per week means spending $3,000 for a $600 TV)

I saw a Fisher branded Bluetooth speaker the other day. Feels like we had both models there-- the name got sold a couple times in the 60s/70s, but they remained a consistent market presence under the new ownership, slowly degrading over the next 20 or so years. Sanyo, who I think was the end owner then, probably got a lot of value out of the brand. Now someone's trying to jab electrodes into the corpse long after the value is gone and I suspect the new-brand won't last 20 years.
