When I prompted GPT-4 with their exact prompt, it gave me the correct answer (for the cat one at least):

SYSTEM: In each example, you will be given some context and a claim,
where the correctness of the claim is affected by some ambiguity in the context. Enumerate two or three interpretations of the context that lead to different judgments about the claim.

Example

Context: {premise}

Claim: {hypothesis}

Given the context alone, is this claim true, false, or inconclusive?

We don’t know, because the context can be interpreted in many
different ways:

1. {disambiguation 1} Then the claim is true.

2. {disambiguation 2} Then the claim is false.

3. {disambiguation 3} Then the claim is inconclusive

USER: P: I’m afraid the cat was hit by a car.
H: The cat was not hit by a car.

ASSISTANT: Given the context alone, is this claim true, false, or inconclusive?

We don't know, because the context can be interpreted in many different ways:

1. The person is stating a fact: The cat was indeed hit by a car. Then the claim is false.

2. The person is expressing a fear or concern, but it hasn't actually happened: They are worried that the cat might have been hit by a car, but they don't have any evidence or confirmation. Then the claim is inconclusive.

3. The person is using figurative language or exaggeration: They might be using the phrase "hit by a car" metaphorically to describe a difficult situation the cat is in, but the cat was not literally hit by a car. Then the claim is true.
CPUs are made on cutting-edge processes, the chip shortage was about jellybean or specialty chips made on very different (generally older) processes.

What other package managers have something like this?

This (the concept, not necessarily the implementation) seems like it should be standard, but I suspect it’s fairly rare.
I think Intel is a buy because they’re going to be too important to fail for US in the chip war. Anyone else buying?
That’s right, I’ve dissolved sulphur and potassium bicarbonate into separate containers, and peristaltic pumps dose a small amount every 15 minutes when the nutrient solution goes beyond the acceptable parameters for an hour. 15 minutes is enough time for one dose to register on a read of the pH level so that it doesn’t go too far.

As for EC, I can only correct it if it’s too low. If it’s 100 points below where I want it, I dose from two containers of pre mixed nutrient concentrate. They’re in separate containers because they’ll actually precipitate some of their constituents if they’re combined at high concentrations, which is too bad (it would be nice to use only one container).

The pH sensor I use is apparently lab grade, but only cost around $70 CAD. It has been holding up just fine for close to a year now. If I were doing this on a larger scale, I think I’d go for one that’s a bit more expensive from atlas scientific. They seem to stand by their products and claim their pH probes will operate for years if taken care of.

My EC sensor was quite a bit more — something like $150. I forget where I got it, because I had the idea to build this maybe 10 years ago and that was one of the first components I picked up! Looking around it seems like you can spend quite a bit less now, and it seems like they’re durable.

> Why is buying something 10x more powerful than you'd need at 2x the price "good value"?

So a MacBook Air is 2x the price of the very cheapest laptops. Trouble with the very cheapest laptops, though, is that they use the very cheapest chips; Intel is not making a lot of money on those (if they're Intel at all; these days a lot of that category is ARM Chromebooks). The MacBook Air's actual competition is more capable laptops in a broadly similar price range. These use more expensive, higher margin, usually Intel, chips, like the MBA did pre-M1. That has to be a concern for Intel.
As far as I can tell in the latin part of Europe I think it's well understood that if you invite people to a restaurant for dinner it means that you will be paying (especially if the word invite is used).

In the UK it depends on the background of people, and language would also make a difference.

"Do you all want to grab some dinner" is different to "I'd like to invite you all out to dinner"

>But that's still no expected from the host unless explicitly verbalized with the invitation.

In Europe there would definitely be an expectation that alcohol would be provided (although perhaps not all of the alcohol depending on various factors). It would also be expected that guests bring a bottle of wine or flowers or something to that effect. That small gift should be separate to any alcohol brought for the purposes of consumption on the evening.
Happy Friday! I have built a document-reading app to help me curate, visualize, and recall my knowledge as I read and annotate research papers - https://www.KnowledgeGarden.io

They're moving to streaming your "Connected Apps" (Steam, EA, etc) through their cloud stream service now.

I'm mad since I only bought the Shield in September for the sole purpose of local desktop streaming.

I played around with Moonlight for about 15 minutes but have yet to get it work the same. I do love there's an open source solution but I'll probably be going with an AMD build for the first time in my life instead of Intel/NVidia because of this.
Wow, that's a pretty cool idea. Sounds like it has some potential for being productized!
> The vacation home example somehow actually feels less awkward to me, perhaps because my visit doesn’t change the cost incurred by the friend when they’re renting?

I assume the author is considering the example of someone spending substantially more than they otherwise would have to accommodate guests.

For a couple to rent a holiday home with 1 bedroom and invite friends to visit for the day, or sleep on the couch, would be different to the same couple renting a 6-bedroom luxury mansion.

I created a smart spreadsheet app for tracking any books, movies, or TV series I'm interested in watching which can automatically run web searches for sources to stream/rent/buy any item on the list (ex: Netflix, Amazon Prime, my local library, my local bookstore).

This way I can focus on what I want to watch and not worry about how I will watch it.
There was also a specific path of development that many cities took in the mid-20th century that make public transit development now very difficult. Carving up downtown areas of cities with Parkways/Expressways/Highways, pushed heavily by influential urban planner Robert Moses in New York State, and copied in many other major US cities, makes it difficult to move from one area of a city to another without a car. The building of massive, unattractive public housing projects, and the hollowing out of urban areas due to redlining and “white flight” to the suburbs, now leave huge swaths of urban cities with decades of underinvestment. And finally, you have the massive suburbs, that take more money to build and maintain than they put back in through taxes, which causes a parasitic drain on the urban centers funds to spend on improved transit that isn’t focused on more car infrastructure to “keep up” with more and more cars streaming in and out from those suburbs.
If bitcoin is adopted as reserve currency, it would innoculate against the existential risk of regional or even global hyperinflations.

Well, sure.

I don't know if "th" exists in Polish or not, but a common (perhaps dominant) spoken way to refer to "The Beatles" is[0] "Bitelsi", which not only loses "th", but also like half the other sounds in the name[1].

Thing is, we understand it just fine. More than that, if you overheard me saying to someone, "puść teraz Bitelsów" ("put on the Beatles now"), there's a good chance you'd identify the name from context. If you didn't, you could always ask to verify (well, not if you were actually overhearing me...).

[0] - Or at least would look like that written down. Polish is mostly a "you say it as you see it" language, but with foreign names, often enough people write the correct form but use localized pronunciation.

[1] - I'm sorry, I'm not a phonetician.
I haven't thought of that. What do you think should be done if that scenario happens?
Why would you need one whatsoever? If someone has already done the work as in the op, why not just cut out the hypothetical "benevolent AGI" and utilize the existing source code?

You're invoking LLMs, but "benevolent AGI" was what got invoked originally. Don't conflate a hypothetical AGI with an existing LLM. Anything of the scale required to create a hypothetical AGI is going to be expensive. Period.

Is grandma really going to use a hypothetical AGI any better than she's able to use Spotify? Come on.
I'm not sure how that rebuts my point? macOS has a much lower number of CVEs than Windows. But there's a lot more to security than CVEs, and my post was about issues that CVEs don't track. BTW Apple marketing isn't what led to my views, they're based on direct experience with the security mechanisms of both operating systems up close and personal.

Our thing in high school was Sauerbraten one-shot-one-kill. The teacher didn't care as long as all the assignments got done.

I’m familiar with Lambda and DynamoDB. When I left in 2022 they both had strong automated or semi-automated AZ evacuation stories.

I’m not that familiar with S3, but I never noticed any concerns with S3 during an AZ outage. I’m not at all familiar with Aurora Serverless or ECS.

For all AWS services you can always ask AWS Support pointed, specific questions about availability. They usually defer to the service team and they’ll give you their perspective.

Also keep in mind that AWS teams differentiate between the availability of their control and data planes. During an AZ outage you may struggle to create/delete resources until an AZ evacuation is completed internally, but already created resources should always meet the public SLA. That’s why especially for DR I recommend active-active or active-“pilot light”, have everything created in all AZs/regions and don’t need to create resources in your DR plan.
> I got a tech job in 2014 when all my friends were waiters and bartenders

I sort of have this “problem” with my family. Since moving to USA about 8 years ago, I’ve been able to build as much wealth as took my mom her whole life. My sister makes in a month what I make in a week.

The balance I’ve found works best when we hang out is for me to take care of any flights or lodgings, the invisible expenses, and be on equal footing otherwise. You pay for some meals or drinks, I pay for others, it all about balances out.

And sometimes I buy them tech they can’t afford or donate my old devices. They seem to feel better about receiving a device I no longer need than being bought a new one.

Point taken. I would expect handling of these edge cases to improve in successive iterations.

They might have some money but they may not have a home address.
Free range chicken exist (or sometimes a slightly less free version of this, let's not split hairs). Their meat and eggs are more expensive. I don't know if they are economically feasible large scale though.
I’m skeptical that this plan will work. About 15 years ago, SoftBank used to offer public wifi using its customers routers. It was available in many restaurants locally, or you could pay to access all routers. It didn’t connect you to the internet more often than not, and I learned to not even try connecting when I saw a SoftBank sticker in a restaurant. Presumably over time connections had some issue and over time fewer and fewer worked.

More recently I had a WiMAX plan with KDDI. WiMAX worked great and it also came with nationwide wifi access. While this worked in cafes, even at walking speeds leaving it set to automatically connect on my phone would cause my phone not to be connected half the time as it would be continuously joining and leaving wifi networks or occasionally get stuck on a login screen. Again I learned to leave it off.

The free networks from convenience stores and JR work in a pinch but you have to stand still and remember not to set it to automatically connect because the login is not persistent your phone will happily connect which effectively disconnects you from the internet.

Also note that allowable wifi transmission power is lower in Japan than many countries. Between that and congestion you’re lucky to connect 20m from the glass front of store with a router in it, let alone in any other direction.

Awesome. That means that the fewer than 0.03% of wallet holders who hold more than 40% of the coins can own everything forever!

He isn't saying that you should spend time on optimising your code, rather that you should write performant code from the beginning by not giving the cpu more work than it needs to do to perform the task, typically by avoiding OO paradigms, followings things like SOLID, etc. Then if needed, real optimisation can handle the hotspots in your code and is typically something that only a few of an orgs best engineers can do properly, but if everything is slow then its an insurmountable task for these few engineers.

A lot of us earned our right to be curmudgeons by getting excited about it ten years ago only to see it play out very differently from our expectations.
The official firmware limits the device to only being able to transmit on frequencies officially supported by the CC1101 chip that handles this range. It's technically capable of transmitting across a wider range but the manufacturer of the chip doesn't support it.

Beyond that the official firmware also limits the available frequencies by the device's region setting. There is a full list of the regional limits here: https://docs.flipperzero.one/sub-ghz/frequencies but they are of course intended to limit the device to only frequencies legally authorized for unlicensed remote control type uses in the region in question. It should generally work for any household appliance remotes, as long as the appliance was designed for the region it's being used in.

Either way, there's a reason I started both of those paragraphs with references to the official firmware. The device firmware is open source and there are multiple community-developed forks as a result, some of which make these limits configurable by the user.

In short, "boring" bits when used skilfully are important, they help to set the expectations and amplify the subtleties. It's a bit like "dynamic range" for the plot: if there's no change in pace, everything becomes bland and boring. But also I do recommend watching that video essay, it's really good and goes much deeper than I can do in a short reply.

A lot of it is also that the tech/VC way of things is to try to build everything yourself, and to assume the mechanics of the problem is easy and doesn't require a lot of domain knowledge. Whereas the software required to orchestrate all of these systems and provide insight is complex and needs a lot of software. I think it's a classic case of misunderstanding how complicated everything is and assuming that because you have been given a bunch of VC money that it's somehow a mandate to build everything yourself. It's what happens most of the time when a "tech" company interacts with the physical world. Like how my Nest thermostat always learns to do the opposite of what I want at any point in time.

I believe what deadeye is suggesting here isn't necessarily that you need to share your answers, but that this is only an essential, introductory line of questions typically used when evaluating investment vehicles best suited to you — particularly when seeking qualified advice from a licensed professional. A lot of people end up in various depths of DIY wealth management before realizing they really don't know it all, and advisors dedicate years of their lives to licensing and continuing education on the matter. A large part of this is leveraging acceptable risk per-client/investor.
Bitcoin, specifically, is improving society in many ways, especially in Nigeria, Argentina, the Congo, etc. Even in the West, where our money is more stable and the benefits of it are less obvious, Bitcoin mining offers great benefits to energy grids.

I’d love to try using fish some day. I use some buffers I mixed from sulphur and potassium bicarbonate. I get them to an approximate pH and then let the system measure gradually as small amounts are dosed into the system.
High tunnels are very efficient. Greenhouses are very efficient. I've visited https://district.farm/ and it's clearly the future (or the present if you're in Northern Europe). When I went there they were at 1/4 of grow space that they are now.

Ready to expand? You just add more enclosures. You slowly recoup the capital cost of the structure. Might take a few years, but you will. Rinse and repeat.

The US is not hurting for land, we just don't use it as best we can, and we don't have the capital in enough hands to make basic, boring, but efficient methods like this work at larger scale.
