>They can literally be child predators

Whatever particular incident you're referring to, the evidence was not released in a straightforward fashion, but tricked out through document drops and the partisan media, so that the pols could avoid a clear public announcement that so-and-so was a pedophile. That's exactly consistent with "avoiding embarrassment"; it just happens that a small fraction — usually, people who were already opposed to that official — believe they should be embarrassed.

When there are clear allegations of CSA, as with Mark Foley, the individual is quickly cast out. When a politician embarrasses their own party, as with Madison Cawthorn, the same thing happens. When the message can be sufficiently contained and redirected, the embarrassment has been avoided.
Simply put, OCaml is very principled. There is a good reason for pretty much every design decision.

The only thing one could argue is the lack of type classes, i.e., overloading. (Calling it "interfaces" is somewhat wrong.)
The topic here is about animals who are fed excessive quantities of antibiotics while healthy, fattening them up to the point that their skeletons frequently fracture because they can't bear the weight. These are not well-treated "happy hens". They are chickens crammed by the tens of thousands into barns with about as much square footage as it has birds. Sometimes less. The unroofed "free range" they get access to may amortize out to a couple square inches per bird, in a portion of the facility they'll never reach due to bird traffic.

It is of no solace to any of the 40 billion individual chickens presently in factory farms that some others may be raised in a coup in a backyard of someone's hypothetical uncle's house. And the hypothetical existence of said uncle has no relevance to the act of paying others to abuse birds in farms, which is where every single person reading this is getting either the vast majority or all of their bird flesh.

I worked on a team using Haskell at Target for a few years and we had a massively easier time hiring compared to the other data science/ML teams. I figure it came down to two things:

1. People are actively interested in using Haskell and working with others interested in Haskell/PL/FP/etc. More people want to do Haskell than there are Haskell jobs and Haskell openings get massive word-of-mouth advertising.

2. It's a way to show that we're willing to do something different and interesting. Everybody says they are, but how do you actually demonstrate it? I remember one of the first great hires we had was an OR professor who didn't even know about Haskell—but joined in part because what we were doing was different and innovative.

If I ever end up starting my own company, I'm going to use Haskell because it's so much easier to hire for it—completely opposite to the superficial "common knowledge" that guides executive decisions at large companies.
Appreciated this video too.

It helps one understand that the lenis/fortis opposition is broader and arguably more useful than the voiced/unvoiced one even in English.
No. The numbers expressing it drop, but there are often enough advantages in competition situations that the trait stays around and can rapidly recolonize the population. Carrying the genetic material is a slight cost. Expressing it costs more, but that could be made conditional.

Furthermore, note that in this case, the point is that the trait also confers resistance to the same type of molecule occurring naturally as part of the innate immune system of animals, meaning that for bacterial species with a large pathogenic component to their lifestyle the resistance retains a fitness advantage in their niche.
It’s an interesting shortcoming of the large language models that they struggle to “play” with the rules of the language very much. I’ve tried to get GPT 3, 3.5, and 4 to generate business names and other names for things and it’s not particularly good at it. It frequently “runs out of creativity, and starts to repeat the same combination of basing building blocks. The worst example I came up with had moderately specific business names with a particular theme like an “1890s” or “1970s” or “late 1990s computer startup” style of name.. it would frequently run out and start repeating the same building blocks in under 50 examples, the absolute worst started repeating itself at about item 20 and the list gets increasingly repetitive from that point.

I built a modified name generator based on some existing open source code that’s been around for several years now based on GPT2 and sure I couldn’t ask to go give me something with a specific theme… but damn it was way more creative at generating new words that could be names and it was t hard to filter the output to be useful since I could get it locally in batches of thousands overnight.

Many years ago, I interviewed a candidate at Amazon for an SDE3 job (aka Senior SDE.) I asked him to write a function that takes 2 sorted arrays of integers and merges them into a single sorted array of integers. He just couldn't do it.

This is very simple problem to solve, and I think anyone who can't do that is not suitable for SDE3 (or 2 or 1, in my opinion)

One could argue about very difficult problems - can a candidate really be expected to invent the solution on the spot, or is it just because they saw it on LeetCode? Is it luck or ability?

But for simple problems, they are a strong negative signal and a very weak positive signal: just because you can merge sorted arrays, doesn't mean you're qualified, but if you can't even do that, you're most likely not qualified.
Beyond being a dark pattern, it's far easier to build a product that simply doesn't save things that could cause trouble. You can't have someone "accidentally" use a set of data if that data never exists. You can't have another integration accidentally fail to filter out "bad data" if it doesn't exist.

I've used this pattern in a few side projects. I never, ever have to worry about accidentally storing/moving/integrating data that doesn't exist.

I have been observing GPT responses to basic circuit design (specifically in battery cell arrangements for EVs, a client's specialty) and although it is not able to understand "big picture" overall objectives — at present — once re-trained, it is then able to derive correct solutions to similar and same problems.

Thank you for your motivational participation — I have actually copyedited tons of technical documentation (some even paid, lol =P ) but definitely would need to specialize fiercely and apply realworld knowledge into the computer systems.
The "peak oil" concept originates in a 1956 paper by Marion King Hubbert titled "Nuclear Energy and the Fossil Fuels."

You can read it here: https://web.archive.org/web/20080527233843/http://www.hubber...

Here's the central thesis: "When we consider that it has taken 500 million years of geological history to accumulate the present supplies of fossil fuels, it should be clear that, although the same geological processes are still operative, the amount of new fossil fuels that is likely to be produced during the next few thousands of years will be inconsequential. Therefore, as an essential part of our analysis, we can assume with complete assurance that the industrial exploitation of the fossil fuels will consist in the progressive exhaustion of an initially fixed supply to which there will be no significant additions during the period of our interest."

The paper outlines the historical growth of fossil fuel exploitation and posits how it will reach a peak and then decline. The last third of it notes that nuclear fuels, having an energy content several orders of magnitude greater than that of fossil fuels, can supply abundant energy for at least 5000 years into the future. The age of fossil fuels is a short lived transitional phase in the development of industrial civilization.

"Peak oil" later accumulated a vast penumbra of connotations beyond Hubbert's rather technical and dry outlook. The peak oil movement, if it can be called such, has in recent decades predicted the imminent collapse of industrial civilization due to oil shortages. Neither Hubbert's original prediction nor the more recent peak oil collapse predictions have been driven by climate change denial. At best (worst?) I remember peak oilers who believed that we needed to increase coal exploitation because otherwise we'd be facing gigadeaths from energy shortages in a decade or two.

> Why open yourself up to real life consequences from a puritanical culture when you can limit discussions to those you know share similar views?

Or with people who may have wildly different views from you, but whom you trust to disagree amicably and remain tolerant of those views.

I started a private discussion board a few years ago for just this purpose: it became impossible to have a good-faith discussion of almost anything on the open web. Within the boundaries of a private community, you can have some expectation of safety that you can't have if the audience is the entire world, as it is on Twitter (or even HN). With that safety you can disagree more with less fear of consequences, which is how it should be (and was, before all this shit).
Yea, I'm pretty confused by this write up and a bit skeptical. I would really like to see better information about what they're seeing to conclude that the allegations are credible.

I worked with aGPS a bit when I started my career. As I recall at that time, the chipsets only accessed the aGPS service if something asked the chipset for the current GPS coordinates of the device. The chipset could avoid the long load times of the locations by using the network to assist the GPS and get the current state. And because this is part of the cellular network standards, this would just be another thing the chipset did when working with the network, like receiving an SMS, or registering with the network so it can be notified of an incoming call or packet of data.

I wasn't aware that aGPS could also be done over WIFI, but I suppose it makes sense that it can. That might involve the OS as well, as other comments have pointed out to get to the WIFI network.

So I'm not ready to jump on that Qualcomm chipset is the culprit, or this is nefarious, unless we're sure there is no software process asking the chipset for the GPS coordinates / triggering an aGPS call, and that the identifying information alleged is actually in those messages and this isn't just some generic policy statement. And that this actually always goes over wifi, and when connected to a cellular network, it doesn't use the network operators aGPS. The network operator already knows all the alleged details based on the global standards of how a cellular device communicates with the network.

Nothing stops you from representing the value that way, but when you go to a meter or lay a yardstick against something, you are measuring a real number (or, at the very least, a number which has no complex character to it). "This many ticks on a ruler" or "this many clicks on a clock."

Thanks for the feedback. Jams is currently using Chat GPT 3.5-turbo as his model (since v4 is currently cost-prohibitive). He may struggle with inferring the context.

I tried your prompts and agree that the playlists aren't getting after what I hear when I hear that prompt. Jams seems to think "explorers and conquerors" are rock ballads and indie folk, which is a little off.

I retooled the prompt to "epic songs about historical conquerors, adventurous. include historical folk songs about conquerors as well." The result (below) seemed more in-line with my intuitive take on the prompt. This is all bound to improve over time as Jams get smarter.

I am all for nuclear as part of the energy mix, but the amount of FUD being spread by pro-nuclear bros really makes it hard to get on board.

> we really don't know what else would

We absolutely can meet our needs with other clean energy sources. And unlike nuclear most of these technologies are cost competitive with fossil fuels currently, and the ones that are not are continuing to come down in costs as manufacturing scales up.

> We know it would solve the problem

No we don't. There are a number of places where nuclear is highly unlikely to be deployed due to geopolitical concerns or due to a lack of advanced enough economy. Those places are going to have to rely on other options whether they want to or not.

Again, I am all for nuclear as part of the mix. There are absolutely places where it will make the most sense (extreme latitudes for example). And I generally agree that increasing deployment could bring costs down*. But the amount of FUD spread by the pro-nuclear crowd really makes it hard to get onboard. I think you are doing more harm then good.

* Nuclear is unlikely to see the same cost reductions as renewables though, due to the difference in the drivers of the costs for each type of technology.

Italy already banned ChatGPT, and Germany is considering the same. Whilst the EU itself taking a hard stance I agree will take a while, just the fact that EU member states are banning it is forcing OpenAI to take a privacy-preserving stance to prevent regulation on themselves occurring as quickly.

The problem with a "relaxed" or "realistic" goal is that it will make us lazy. If we set a goal of 1.5C which we probably won't meet then at least we are able to tell people what would happen when we reach that goal. Maybe then when someone adds 0.5C to the new target would take things more seriously.

I find this a sad dilemma. We want to save humanity from the climate catastrophe, but we are more worried about crashing the economy.

Dutch to Make Public the Files on Accused Nazi Collaborators
No, there is just no foundation to the claim that there is a backdoor in Teslas for their own use. There’s remote unlock and remote software updates, both features that are for my benefit and use. And they don’t come with some naïve backdoor that attackers can exploit. They’re cryptographically secure and don’t expose me to vulnerabilities.

There’s a difference between the government legislating obscure and weak backdoors into all microchips so the NSA can spy on you, and a car company providing features consumers want, agree to, and pay for, in a secure way. One is a surveillance platform, the other is a good product. It’s silly to equivocate the two. Thats what I’m responding to.

Imagine if a asteroid impact worked like a shape charge, leaving behind a dent in the deeper layers, that becomes the base for a future volcano. Something like the Chicxulub Event would leave two "dents" one at the impact site and one at the opposite site, were the pressure wave would meet into a spike.

If a programmer uses ChatGPT to get a handle on a task with a new API, and saves a day of futzing around, how is that NOT relevant to job performance?
