So ... business as usual?

We have to decide to stop using the bad stuff first, set the deadlines, or new stuff will never materialize.

Have you noticed how Tesla started electric cars, everybody laughed, and now they're the only way forward?

It will be the same with this ... sooner or later. And the change of focus will bring innovation we can't even imagine now.

I do not understand how CBDC could in any way make my life better? It seems like a worse product with fewer features than what I have now.
Makes you wonder if there should be professional repercussions for being so wrong. Does credibility or accuracy with assessments and predictions even matter?

Other notable examples are Jim Cramer, who seems to be more wrong than right on stock and company analysis but still gets paid handsomely by CNBC. Or Paul Krugman who said the Internet's Effect on the World Economy Would Be 'No Greater Than the Fax Machine's. Krugman managed to maintain a fine career in academia and in print.

Flashcards can be customised in any way though. I used to segment movies into sentences. On the front you had the audio and a screenshot. On the back, you had the transcription and a translation. I learned all the words in multiple movies and TV series this way.
Crypto crowd suffers from confirmation bias and are a classic example of the Dunning–Kruger effect. Any research that doesn't conclude the greatness of crypto is not valid research.
I have had Gandi.net for many years. You can request to have your account based out of their french office which will give you the EU privacy and other regulations in your favor vs USA. I have also been testing domains registered at porkbun.com for the past 3 years.

I would never consider name.com and certainly would never go back to Network Solutions or GoDaddy
>> the other has a mathematically demonstrably finite supply.

> The argument I always hear against this point is that you can simply continue to subdivide the currency infinitely. We just get into smaller and smaller fractions of "satoshi's" or whatever the base unit may be.

That's a different problem, that's the market-cap / # of coins issue. You don't spend an integer number of bitcoin, you spend the fraction you need, so it's not really a problem.

The PP was talking about how Bitcoin was devised to not allow anyone to arbitrarily make more coins. (Some BTC forks have different minting policies, but BTC itself can't be changed.)

Our central banks on the other hand, were devised precisely to allow the government to create money when needed.

There's no way the USA would adopt BTC as its central currency for example because it would lose that ability.
The next major leap in LLMs (in the next year) is probably going to be the prompt context size. Right now we have 2k, 4k, 8k ... but OpenAI also has a 32k model that they're not really giving access to unfortunately.

The 8k model is nice but it's GPT4 so it's slow.

I think the thing that you're missing is that zero shot learning is VERY hard but anything > GPT3 is actually pretty good once you give it some real world examples.

I think prompt engineering is going to be here for a while just because, on a lot of task, examples are needed.

Doesn't mean it needs to be a herculean effort of course. Just that you need to come up with some concrete examples.

This is going to be ESPECIALLY true with Open Source LLMs that aren't anywhere near as sophisticated as GPT4.

In fact, I think there's a huge opportunity to use GPT4 to train the prompts of smaller models, come up with more examples, and help improve their precision/recall without massive prompt engineering efforts.
On the mobile apps at least (but I also believe they exist on the web app as well) there is a supplementary materials button on most lessons. They are also lessons for learning the individual characters of languages in non-latin alphabets. The comment is wrong about both of these things.
>>Different activists have different goals.

while that is true, that is minority, I see ALOT of activists that actibly hold contradictory positions.

For example I have seen, ALOT of people (and I know you are not one of them) "I dont drink dairy milk because it is bad for the earth, instead I drink Almond Milk"..... ehhhhhh

Supplanting Almond Milk for Cow milk is a good position if you are doing it for animal ethics, but do claim you are saving the earth by doing it is non-sense.

>> I think recycling is good, but I would prefer lower greenhouse emissions over lower trash

This is not a contradictory position, it is sad the recycling movement has lost its way soo much..

The movement is/was REDUCE>REUSE>RECYCLE... is not just recycling. Some how we have skipped the first 2 and just worry about the last one. Part of that is need for the economy for always be consuming... so there is incentives by both government and corporations to get people to buy less durable less fixable goods.

This is why right to repair is critical to the environmental movement, but here again I have seen alot of climate activists posting from their iPhone how it is dangerous to allow people to fix their property..
Our engineering is like how we build rockets. We blow up the first few.

The problem is we have only one Earth.

And playing with it, considering how shallow our understanding is of the would-be consequent chain reactions, is monumentally stupid. Google "Cobra effect" or whatever you want. All those examples will be a child's play compared to what geoengineering's FAFO would be.
The Finnish course is especially bad in this regard. You learn the words for 'lynx' (ilves) and 'wolverine' (ahma), but not for 'left' and 'right'.

Just the other day I idly wondered how LED "light bulbs" regulate down their 230V (here in central Europe, at least) to the ~2V needed per LED.

Although it's from a different starting point (AC, not DC), after reading the article it seems they could use an AC->DC converter and then a charge pump.

Is that what they actually use? Or is there something easier/cleverer when starting from AC?
I'm always impressed at the mental gymnastics around disproving supply and demand.

Especially around housing, there seems to be a thousand models that don't work to solve the housing crisis, while there's only one that's been proven again and again to work: build more.

The golf is such a well designed car… a tiny efficient car with more usable space inside than many SUVs.

Under your axioms, it may be equivalent, but I think they're mistaken.

Orientation is not a choice, and is orthogonal to identification.

I believe that same-sex relationships can be as profoundly fulfilling, enriching, and pro-social as heterosexual relationships.

That marrying a straight woman with a gay man is profoundly unfulfilling for both.

And that denying a class of people something so profound, freely enjoyed by everyone else, and which does not harm anyone else, can indeed be seen as inhumane.

The problem is that's how Duolingo sells itself: "learn a language in 15 min"

With Duolingo I can do half an hour in transit, but the remembrance is not great.

I do think there are more effective ways of learning a language. Probably the most effective and not so well known is Pimsleur.

Half an hour of Pimsleur asks so much focus of me, and im tired after, but I learn quickly.

It's an audio class that has a very smart way of repeating and reproducing conversations. The repetition is done in a way that it advances the conversation and slightly alters the repetition so it forces you to use your active focus & memory.

Everybody's so worried about AI they forgot about the parrots!
Cramer is not a stock trader but an entertainer, and he did fine on that job. Same goes for Krugman. Krugman nowadays is an opinion columnist and not an economist. If you read his articles regularly you will realise that accuracy is not the main goal. Sounding important is the main goal. And he too is doing fine on that job.
Being able to compose a good query is still relevant I think! My peer once asked me for help with a mathematical problem, for which they could not find help online - after not much searching I could find a relevant page, given the same information/problem statement.

Most dietary deficiencies take many decades to play out. Vegans require many artificial supplements to fill the gaps. My questions is mainly, are these sufficient or are natural sources better?

I'd recommend checking out this Huberman podcast for a set of protocols for assessing your strength, endurance, and more. https://youtu.be/CyDLbrZK75U

tl;dr if you focus on one type of athletic ability, you are not optimizing correctly. For example, endurance athletes will have issues with bones and balance loss reactions later in life

This is fair, using it as a starting point to learning could be useful if you're ready/able to do the rest of the process. Maybe I was too dismissive because it read to me like OP couldn't do that and thought he found the magic trick to skip that part.
When you click the buttons under an example often enough, you can download the mesh file for it. It's not the best UX, but the data is there.
> Oh no! Don't impose drastic spending cuts! Anything but that!

Actually, if the Dems had done this in response to Trump's tax cuts, I think the Republicans would have been pretty cornered. After all, the three things you can't touch (and the GOP have promised not to this time around) are the military, Social Security, and Medicare.
Spending valuable gasoline and resources to have grass extra short and the soil dry is stupid in our current situation of climate emergency.

Cities should let the grass grow three times longer than now, save water, and use the scarce resources in neglected projects that are much more urgent.
Reads as the same level of naïveté as the intertwined trends of "Tesla will go bankrupt" and "Tesla killer EV unveils soon" articles in the past years.
> Agreed, and more solutions should try solving a problem shots way.
It’s a pretty simple formula.
They work to understand something and then experience it repeatedly by reviewing it to move it long term memory.

Coincidentally, this is also a major reason why Duolingo switched to “the path” (something else that gets flak on here). Spaced repetition is now built in by default. With the old layout a lot of users would complete a level and move on in an effort to complete the tree, rather than levelling up each level in a section before moving on.
Namecheap is and always has been great. Only issue is that they’re a Ukrainian company so it was a bit dicey last year when their offices became a war zone, but it is my understanding that they have moved a lot of their operations out of the country since then. I still have nearly all my domains with them. Slava Ukraini!

Google domains is, well, Google. Zero customer support, but everything works exactly as advertised with five-9’s reliability, so…
The second link is not an unpaywalled copy, it's "climate change isn't real" content that you're portraying as having been posted to Nature. This is not a constructive way to talk about the topic at hand (methane being the equivalent of 20x CO2 instead of 28x, at least if the submission isn't in error).
The "echo" endpoint supposedly "returns what you sent to the server", but the output includes X-Forwarded-For headers that are obviously part of your internal HTTP routing and are not part of what the client sent to the server, as well as various other headers not sent by my client.

Also, the "myip" endpoint returns 2 different IP addresses. One is mine, the other is yours.
> ...it could be summarized as...

If you ignore what people are actually saying and assign them a motivation that supports a cynical narrative, you could summarize the situation that way. I'm not sure it's an intellectually honest take, but you can say whatever you think.
It took the theft of phones from honest folks to make those 'extra parts' available in the past. I personally don't want these 'extra parts' on the market even if it ends up increases repair prices for everyone.
It's just for power balance, I think. Otherwise the left and right parts would be too independent. And this causes conflicts of interests.
We had one executive at the place I worked from 2010 to 2017 who was always on the next Windows phone bandwagon. He'd put pressure on us to make the site support whatever incarnation of Windows phone was out that year. We always resisted. What a waste of time that would have been.
I've thought about this a lot, and this is happening in real time where I am in Saudi Arabia. The break neck transition from single income households to double income households.

Employment is never a choice. You either can't work, or you must work. Choosing not to work means getting priced out by everyone who does work for all ranked goods.

If you could put a value on a stay-at-home spouse's labor, you can work out whether this was a positive or negative to the family's economy. You see that at the low income end, a double income society forces the family to have a lot less just to compete for rent. Educated professional couples earn more, while outsourcing house labor to the low income families. Capitalists are very happy because they doubled the supply of their labor.

Essentially you see a person go from full time cooking for their family and raising their kids, to working at a fastfood restaurant and babysitting other people's kids for minimum wage, while their own family gets no support.
What this law does is remove the table.

Kids 14+ were already allowed to work legally in Arkansas. This bill did not change that in any way.

What the law does is remove the requirement that a kid go to their school or church and obtain a certificate (or provide a birth certificate) to prove to their employer they are older than 13.

Apparently requiring an employer to determine that a kid was older than 13 and then be responsible for potentially illegally employing them was too big a burden. To relieve employers of that responsibility, they created a bill and framed it as "let the kids work".
I expect the exact opposite. As more rules and regulations get put in, prompt engineering is going to be the new software development. "I would like you to pretend i need a lawyer dealing in a commercial lease that..."
Lol yes, the people writing spaghetti code at boeing are real engineers and the people writing complex distributed systems at Google aren’t.

Color vision is based on two signals, one that varies between red and green and one that varies between yellow and blue.

So a cone integrated normally would probably just come across as further blue and a better purple, not something notably distinct from existing colors. Getting the full use out of more cones would require a significant rework to how our optical nerves work.

15 minutes a day gets you your 480 hours in 5.2 years. The problem is not the marketing line, the problem is people expecting to learn a language in 1 year with only 15 minutes a day practice. There is a reason why a full time university course in a foreign language is typically 3 to 4 years long including one year spent abroad.

In your defence, the 480 hours is also only for group 1 languages. If you are learning a harder language it may take many more hours than this. Category 5 languages take 2200 hours. 15 minutes a day is totally reasonable for a category 1 language. For a category 5 language, not so much as it’s going to take you about 20 years. But I strongly suspect that the main problem is not the “15 minutes a day” but the fact that people are not expecting (or willing) to do it for years.
> No matter how you slice it, that would be a redistribution of wealth from the uneducated to the educated.

That's simply not true, at least not in any meaningful sense.

It would be perfectly straightforward to fund that entirely by raising income taxes on the highest earners.

I'm sure some of them count as "uneducated", in the technical "did not go to (or dropped out of) college" sense, but once you're selecting specifically for the highest earners, that ceases to actually matter.
Yes, but why has downtown and midtown always been the two main population centers? Because that’s where the exposed bedrock is. Geology.
> in soil from CdTe panels, their methodology is to grind the panel into a fine powder and scatter that on the ground.

Sounds a bit off, but consider the effect of having the glass thrown into a landfill where it will be bulldozed, day after day, for several years. It is just jumping to the end of what would be the eventual outcome after a few decades of disposal.

I don't find that to be an arguable study design.

"Anti-renewable propoganda" is certainly a thing, but it's also true that many champions of renewables keep their blinders on when it comes to making assessments.

Solar and nuclear are the demonstrably effective means of producing large scale power, but they don't provide portable energy density (the kind we demand). Battery technology has finally come into the realm of competition, but that has been with extensive and persistent research for decades.
Mine isn't private. I hand my email out to anyone who wants it, including search engines and presumably AIs. It's right there on my website. If you want my email, I'll happily give it to you.

Emails are "personally identifiable".

Your email can be used to link almost every online purchase you've ever made for example. That is what makes them dangerous, and it's what we need to change to improve privacy. It should be possible for companies to send invoices and shipping notices without linking the order to the customer's email address (or their name, or street address, or any other personally identifiable information).

We're a long way from being able to do that with invoices and shipping notifications but there's a lot of other systems where emails aren't necessary and shouldn't be associated with a record - even though emails are not private.
Battle of the Super Shoes – Marathon Running Tech
Unlike enterprise products, consumer market values products with minimal features, and the simplest things tend to win in the long run in any industry. Having more features in the consumer market on it's own mostly never is a winning strategy. A lot of the products that I really liked which were featureful lost to simpler products. Talking to my non tech savvy friends I got to know that they vastly preferred products with minimal features. They just don't want to see more options and have better things to do with their time.
You think so? Before Internet, people were watching TV for hours and hours every day. I think we just love completely effortless, passive entertainment, even if it's ultimately low value.
Prompt engineering has been fascinating to follow at my job. People believe that they will be using "prompt engineering" as a new way to verbally interact with peers. As if they now have found the Rosetta stone for their own quirks.
You're not the beneficiary of the "features" of it.

Your local, totally trustworthy, benevolent government that just needs a teensy tiny little bit more data to deal with terrorists, child pornographers, and crypto ransom gangs is.

Hence why it would be forced on you. And why we see an irritating reduction in the usability of cash these days. At least in the US, the "value per maximum bill size" has gone down dramatically over the years, to the point that a modern $100 isn't worth much more than a $20 when a lot of our grandparents were growing up.

And, of course, there are places that are card only. There remain a few restrictions on that with regards to "debt payment" (you can't serve someone a meal and then demand card only, but you can refuse to let them order up front with cash), but a lot of businesses are happily going the "No icky cash!" route.

It's quite the problem if you'd rather various data aggregators not collect all your spending data, and, of course, you pay a bit more if you're not willing to let stores aggregate your data with "loyalty" programs. Local area code, 867-5309 still works for most, though!

This article reads into so much nonsense, I would not be surprised to see that some of the content has been generated by ChatGPT. I mean just look at this:

> Citations required! I'm sorry, I didn't cite the experimental research to support these recommendations. The honest truth is that I'm too lazy to look up the papers I read about them (often multiple per point). If you choose not to believe me, that's fine, the more important point is that experimental studies on prompting techniques and their efficacy exist. But, I promise I didn't make these up, though it may be possible some are outdated with modern models.

This person appears like they are just in the hype phase of the LLM and prompt mania and attempting to justify this new snake oil with all this jargon that not even they understand the inner workings of a AI model when it hallucinates frequently.

"Prompt Engineering" and "Blind Prompting" is different branding of the same snake oil.
