I've now read the article and I'm not changing my opinion. ChatGPT can do some things very well and people tend to hype those things and claim it's better than humans rather than recognising its limits. And again, you are still missing the point of my comment despite having read it, so I'm out of patience. Maybe try to ask ChatGPT to explain what I meant :)
Why do you think it matters if five out of six images are failures? If the sixth is a success, you have your image. The tool has worked. Glancing over a few failed generations is certainly far less effort than making the image from scratch.
Is this accurate? Starlink has since a while back offered service in most of Sweden, but that doesn't align with this map.

This is disingenuous. OP is right. ChatGPT is mostly inaccurate and contextless by nature.

It always produces something confidently so it's very easy to think it's the right answer.

Now, it can be extremely useful for any task that can be easily verifiable and you don't know the syntax, how to approach something, etc. Because any decent software developer can use it as part of the prototyping or brainstorming and get wherever they want to go in coordination with ChatGPT.

What you can't do is assume it's "the expert". You are the expert and you're the intelligent one and the chat generates potential useful things.

That's on verifiable stuff. On other things it can be so laughably bad it's impressive how much "everyone" (as in articles, hype, HN users who downvote criticism as being from luddites) pushes it as something that is not: an AI that can think and be relied upon and any inacuracy will just "get better with time" aa opposed to "the model and also the politics around it" doesn't have a path to get to that idealisation that is being sold.

It's a tool, but it's usually sold as better than it is, like in this case, presumably with the intent of relying upon it to save cost in some key integration point. The problem is that it mostly won't work and comparing it to bad humans or worse integrations doesn't show the fundamental low ceiling that it has.

I think people with authoritarian mindsets (and I don't mind Left or right but inherent trust in authority) easily want this to be a source of truth they can magically use, but there's no path for that to be true. Just to appear true.

It only makes them useless.of you insist on asking them in ways you already know will provide bad results instead of adapting your prompts.

This is a bit like complaining that your compiler refuses to produce the right outputs for code you've already determined is incorrect.
One interesting aspect of this is that China is building the most efficient and flexible coal plants on the planet, with half the CO2 intensity.

They are in effect doing what other nations are doing with natural gas, as an easy form of 'storage' as renewables and nuclear are built out but with coal, because they don't have easy access to gas.

Coal is generally considered worse than gas, in GHG terms though apparently when you include methane leaks from drilling it's not quite as clear cut (though coal mines also leake methane). The other pollution can be much worse, but really that comes down to how much effort you put in. It seems like the least efficient, dirtiiest gas plants and the cleanest, most efficient coal plants will overlap in how bad they are, even if gas plants can in theory be cleaner.
The metaverse is their shot at the next OS (or platform, but that's too vague). He who controls the OS controls everything (Apple for their specific desktops, Microsoft for every other desktop and laptop, Apple and Google for mobile, Google for the web - yes, the web is for all intents and purposes another platform/OS).

Facebook has their own platform but it's built on top of others so it can be choked off. Facebook wants its own OS.
I agree that the nature of the algorithm allows it to generate false results which would not be acceptable in many domains. But I think there is tremendous potential to improve what you might call the "baseline" of what information and diagnosis is available. There are great doctors out there for sure but in many places there are close to zero doctors, or worse, bad doctors. While it's a very complex domain there are much simpler parts of it. A child with a cancer tumor in their brain is a very different case than someone who has a rash and a headache. There's a great deal of regulation as well that will come into play here so it's going to take a while. I know Google has a whole LLM that is using only healthcare data that they have been working on for a while.
Don't switch if you're not actually interested in proactively learning the many nuances of the Mac GUI/Application paradigm, and will instead just complain bitterly that things aren't structured identically to Windows or your previous Linux DE of choice.

Same goes for switching in the other directions.
Multi-Point Control Protocol – PAUSE Frame Injector
Your experience is not different from OPs. You're just ok with the mistakes or are unaware of them because you don't know how to judge them.

I both use ChatGPT to boost productivity but also see the amount of mistakes it makes and will keep making and am surprised at the extreme denial of anyone who tries to shut down criticism of the wrong type of hype (the one that sells something that is not there)
Is the Starlink service geofenced to cutoff where Starlink doesn't have a telco license? Like if the maritime product finds itself sailing within the EEZ of a country that hasn't issued a telco operator license, will the service shut off?

I have vinyl. I don't have a turntable yet. I live in a rented house and there's no room. My vinyl lives in flight cases[0] so when I move out (and I may have to do that in a hurry when the time comes) I can put them in a truck and know they're safe.

According to Discogs, I have 115 releases in my collection[1]. According to Bandcamp, I have 600+ releases in my collection[2]. These two are closely linked.

I started buying vinyl (for the second time) near the start of lockdown in 2020, spurred on in part by all the live events being cancelled. >95% of all my vinyl comes via Bandcamp, and ~90% of that is saved for Bandcamp Friday[3] (the ~10% being short run or a limited purchase window where I can't really wait).

Vinyl pressing plants were backed up with orders, sometimes the wait time was months, and that became the norm for a while. Shipping charges were…OK…but there were delays with couriers being swamped. Then the Ukraine situation happened and fuel prices went into orbit. Shipping charges for these plastic discs got a lot more expensive. Even now they're pretty insane in the UK compared to a few years ago. Shipping internationally? Brace yourself, that's gonna sting. Moving plastic stuff around the world in a way that it doesn't get damaged involves thought about the materials, courier track record, etc.

Legend has it that Adele's 2021 album was pushed to the top of the pressing plant queue thanks to a considerable financial incentive from her record label, which had knock-on delays across the industry[4]. A subsequent legend has it that the demand was significantly overestimated and the surplus stock ended up in goodwill[5].

Me? I'm still waiting optimistically for Special Request's "Zero Fucks"[6] on vinyl, but as each day passes I'm less sure it'll actually happen:

>Vinyl editions to follow in 2020 and will be released and deleted on the same day. Pay 0.00 for these downloads. Enjoy life.

2020 didn't really pan out as we expected, after all.

finally prospective college students have a way to judge a university that is objective.

ask them what percentage of adjuncts they have, lower is obviously better.

then plot versus tuition cost, then you can figure out the optimal ratio of adjunct/tuition for your budget.
Wine 8.7 Released with Another 17 Bugs Fixed
You are probably right! I think anything I do anyway, stick to the well trodden path. But this is food for thought.
To be fair, the opinion is thoroughly justified by the article, which might have been more honestly titled Physicians' Reddit comments shorter than ChatGPT responses; relative accuracy unknown...
Unpopular opinion: Vinyl is not really about the sound. The sound is different, Yes, but that's not it. Vinyl is about displaying the cover, pulling the disc out of it, feeling the weight of the object as you align it on the turntable, pushing the button and watch it spin up, then delicately drop the needle at the right place. Vinyl involves a _ritualistic_ consensual experience which modern medium entirely lack. You can share your appreciation of the cover art and printed lyrics with other people in the room while the music plays. There's no distraction or suggestion coming from a computer screen. When the music stops, what happens is entirely up to you. Vinyl lets you feel the void and puts you entirely in control of the listening session.

I agree that things will be more localized depending on the company. But good recruiters should know what schools are good, but they should also be able to assess a resume that doesn't have an elite school attached to it. Obviously this doesn't always happen, but it should in practice.
Claiming that casting one view in one election means that we all made the specific decision to deem some banks as too big to fail is a bastardization of how or system works to begin with.

If I candidates I voted for lost, I had a chance to partake in democracy but how did I actually have a say in a decision made by someone else?

And if the entire question of banks too big to fail want even a talking point in 2004, how was I voting on that?

For me to have a say, at a minimum my elected representatives would have had to engage with his constituents on the new issue. Even better we could handle those situations more like the Swiss, putting it to a ballot vote.

In no way is casting a vote when effectively given a choice between two major part candidates equivalent to ne having any day in how the government makes a fundamental decision to change the banking world.

I think we might see specialisation, but driven more by proprietary datasets, fine tuning or specific supporting software.

That is, a sort of protectionism and/or moat application, rather than limits on how many fields the LLM can be proficient in.
1Password for iOS does not use Electron. It uses Apple's SwiftUI. Our iOS app is what contains the Apple Watch app.

The point was if we'd had telemetry while prioritizing this work, we would've known it was something many people were actually using. The little data we had showed that was not likely the case. Had we known, we would've prioritized differently.

It probably depends if you have a good baker near you. (I really don't although some of the local "craft" breads carried by a couple local stores aren't bad.)

But philosophically, it makes a lot of sense generally. You're not going to make everything from scratch or near-scratch so it makes sense to focus on the stuff you can't readily buy or which you genuinely enjoy the making process.
this reminds me of how the politburo of china is 99.9% male, the sons of the party elite get favorable positions, and you keep your position by telling the dictator what they want to hear instead of what is actually going on.
It's great that these commuters were able to have a rich spiritual experience and a little exercise and fresh air on their way to the Dulles Memorial Society For Sociopathy.
Yes, and it's noticeable. Most people don't feel the difference probably because the food they are adding it to is already extremely tasty. But trust me, put some salt on an unseasoned fish and you'll immediately taste the differences
And which of those fines have not been repealed or decimated after appeal? Companies rightfully laugh at those initial fines because the appeals process consistently manages to shave off at least 50% of the total amount.
I'd hope that that's not the "unpopular" opinion.
And if you have a shitty record player, it will sound even worse. I don't think this can count in any way, reasonable CD players are easy to obtain and in the worst case you can always pull a FLAC play through whatever high-quality DAC you have available. Vinyl on the contrary is physically constrained regarding sound quality.
I'm a part-time DJ and turntabling is so much better on vinyl than on a jog wheel. But of course you're limited to the physical crate you're willing to lug with you, and one PLX-1000 weighs about three times as much as a DJ-505. Timecode vinyl solves the crate problem but not the weight problem, so nowadays I only do vinyl when clients specifically ask (and are willing to pay more).

That said, Numark and a few others have battery-powered portable turntables for 45's (or rather 7" 33's, which is a thing now) and holy crap are those fun.
I’ve had good luck with just-released Dell XPS13 with Ubuntu preinstalled (the “developer edition”). Everything works out of the box and Ubuntu provides upgrade paths while retaining all drivers and compatibility. No need to wait for a 3-year-old laptop. It is more expensive of course :(
I think you have the intended sense of the author: (~)unmediated reality forces the thoughtful observer into reflection.

Nobody was questioning how popular the Apple Watch is. The question was how many people were using it to access their 1Password data. The evidence that we had at the time suggested very few. Better data would've helped us make a better judgement.

Low bandwidth mesh for email ought to be viable, I'm sure that used telecoms equipment could enable a 'good enough' network, although perhaps using QRP APRS equipment would reduce the cost when starting from an energy demands point of view, and better account for the fact that packets will occasionally have to wait a few hours until the batteries in other nodes are charged.

> Getting into such a position requires an established career. Therefore safe, reliable entrepreneurs cannot possibly be college drop outs

Anecdote warning: I'm a college drop out. Joined a 5-person YC company when I was 20 as an engineer. 2 years later I was halfway through building a product (my current company which I've been building for 8-9 years).

I took a very similar path as one you're describing, except not as formal. The company was a tiny startup. They became my first customer (while I still worked for them!) which validated the need for the product, but I only charged them maybe $40/mo.

Then went on to a startup accelerator, funding etc.

All that to say the spirit of your comment is on target, but the specifics can be executed in different ways. No college degree required!
I think typically there's only one mix, but there will be as many masters as the mediums you're targetting: one master for CD, one for Spotify, one for vinyl, etc.
Took me a long time to realize the spreadable kind of "butter" that comes in a tub isn't properly butter. They put all kinds of additives in to make it spreadable, usually seed oils. For example, Lurpak spreadable "butter" is 26% rapeseed oil.

Actual butter is the kind that comes wrapped in foil or paper. It's a little harder to spread but you just have to knead it with the flat of a knife against the edge of a plate to soften it up.
I wonder what makes getting sleep to work consistently a challenge. Hasn't ACPI been around since the 90s?
>Is original structure and taste so important

Short answer: yes. If it weren't way more people would be vegetarians (or at least have way lower meat consumption). At this point I think it's the structure that's the hard part, it's important to people and we have a hard time reproducing it. Plus even if it's not the original structure it has to be something; nobody wants to drink meat slurry.

Personally I'm a fan of Impossible but I still have never tasted a good chicken-substitute.

Yea, there’s a strong resistance because somehow the community thinks algorithms are only there for the benefit of investors and could actually be of benefit to users who don’t want to micromanage who they’re following.

As for search, it’s bizarre any community would be against such a basic feature.

From TechDirt: “I would talk about some of the cooler Mastodon algorithms I’d been finding, but after a few them then were yelled at by a bunch of Mastodon users, I’ve generally decided it’s not worth promoting those useful tools, for fear that people yell at them to shut them down.”

Kate's of Maine is an excellent American butter. I buy it over Kerrygold or Finlandia (which are also excellent) because it seems silly to ship butter in cargo ships when there are plenty of cows right here.

If the only other option was store brand supermarket butter, I would choose Kerrygold, but not when there is a local alternative.
* Ruthlessly prioritize by pain - a lot of technical debt is "icky" but doesn't cause much pain. Some causes a lot of very serious pain. The latter is what you need to focus on. The former you need to accept you might never get around to fixing.

* Ruthlessly break down debt improvements and drip feed them into production. As an example, once when I was trying to upgrade Django I would follow this process on every other ticket:

1) Try running the app with the latest version of django.
2) Identify a small problem with that (e.g. a page that errors).
3) Try and fix it by making the code run in old AND new environments.
4) Release the changes into prod.

After a while, the accumulated changes would lead to a small release where I figured that everything worked. That's when I flipped the switch.

Because the politicians are bought by the corporations, or for another reason?

Honest question.

Also, regardless of politics, I agree that relying on CO2 removal from the atmosphere as a solution for humanity's destruction of the earth's ecosystems and climate change is mindless and dangerous.
ELI5 means assume I have zero understanding of anything!

> is so bad I don't know where to start. Though for a first step where do you think that energy you extract from the water to turn it into ice goes

You are not extracting energy from water, the energy comes from nuclear fission in nuclear powerplants.

> If you want to use ice cubes they have to either be made in space

Why? You have a giant power plant getting energy from nuclear radiation and it's entire purpose is to generate 1-2 square km of ice sheets each 1M thick along with 10-20 other plants you have 300-600 sq km of ice per year that is intended to keep polar surface ocean water cool (not the whole world).

The goal is not to cool the air but to essentially use nuclear energy to transfer heat from the ocean into steam into the atmosphere.
I'm tickled you asked ChatGPT but I think it misses the the forest for the trees somewhat.

1. Architecture - XTDB is designed to work with Kafka, but it also works with typical JDBC databases as a datastore. Datomic can use SQL databases, DynamoDB or Cassandra if you want distribution. I personally would think long and hard before I introduced a distributed database to my organisation "because it scales".

Part of the value proposition of Datomic is it easily scales read workloads horizontally and by isolating read and writes into separate processes it improves write performance significantly. The metric usually thrown around is 75% of CPU cycles in a traditional RDBMS are concurrency coordination, which is avoided by the Datomic model. That number is quite old now so I don't know if it's still accurate as of 2023.

2. Query language - both use Datalog and support the Datomic `pull` syntax. XTDB also supports SQL.

3. Datomic's EAVT quadruplets are a compelling feature because they are so generic and can be used/re-used in many contexts. A document database would have to fit your use case pretty directly.

4. Datomic has a single transactor process. Do you need distributed transactions? Does Datomic need distributed transactions? You'd have to find someone from say, Nubank, and ask them for war stories. :-)

5. Datomic is now free-as-in-beer.

In my unqualified opinion XTDB is appropriate to choose in the following situations:

- You need to model "valid time" as part of your domain.

- Do you want a document database and are happy with everything that entails?

- You need access to the source code of your database.

- Do you have existing analysts who know SQL but don't know or can't learn Datalog?
I hope humanity is not the peak.

So what if it was ? I don’t really understand this ultra-intellectual viewpoint.

A planet is just fine being a planet, we don’t need to out glasses on planets and have them reading Shakespeare to make the universe a special place ? I’m sure they will happen on its own anyway if it’s desirable.

In a similar way, an amoeba doesn’t really need intelligence, it just does what it does until it can’t do it anymore and a new one comes a long. Maybe that’s a fine thing and in some ways, it’s own form of intelligence. Doesn’t need to mess with everything and crate ecology crisis for itself.

The way we’re going, the amoebas will likely outlive us and probably any computer systems we produce. So it’s yet to be proven our intellect is really all that valuable longer term.

That is an economic theory expressed by a particular economic school but it is not universally believed by economists.

And like most economic theories it’s very hard to (in)validate in the real world.
