Here is an example of results I got in playing with this some with ChatGPT-4. Note that it doesn't understand the syntactic ambiguity of the sentence:

The sentence can be broken down as follows:

Main Clause:
- The burglar threatened the student with the knife.

Subject:
- The burglar

Predicate:
- threatened the student with the knife.

Object:
- the student

Prepositional Phrase:
- with the knife

The prepositional phrase "with the knife" modifies the verb "threatened." It tells us what the burglar used to threaten the student.

Now, let's identify the parts of speech of each word in the sentence and whether the nouns are singular or plural:

- The: article, singular
- burglar: noun, singular
- threatened: verb, past tense
- the: article, singular
- student: noun, singular
- with: preposition
- the: article, singular
- knife: noun, singular

All the nouns in this sentence are singular. There is no ambiguity in meaning in this sentence.
My understanding is that "facts" can't be copyrighted. If there's only so many chord progressions that people find pleasing, and music taste is universal and we're born with it, wouldn't that make music more "fact-based"? Everyone will, more or less, agree on what is a pleasing progression.
> "As a Greek, living in Greece i second most of the terms. Know thyself (γνώθι σαυτόν) is a big one as well. Ancient Greeks were masters of psychology, i.e. what kind of animal humans are. Are we a good creature by nature or a bad one?"

Cool! I hope we can learn from this rich vocabulary the Greeks have developed to describe and to understand our common nature.

wait what
Data Centers that use DC still have AC to the racks, then a UPS or similar device converts to DC and distributes to the equipment on the rack. DC is inefficient for long distance, unless you are talking HVDC which is another story and it is disingenuous to act like they are comparable.
Very impressed. Nice UI/UX as well. However, get the occasional "Required traces gatherer did not run", without any explanation as to why/what that infers. A [search] didn't turn up anything particularly obvious.
The F91W is like $20 though. You're expecting too much from something so cheap. If you pay a bit more than that you'll get a better product. The profit margins on a $20 watch are too low to individually calibrate the rate accuracy of each one, which is the bare minimum that you need to compensate for the manufacturing differences on each individual quartz crystal. And then for accuracy beyond that you would need thermo-compensated quartz, though you only see that on models costing in the 4 figures so if you only care about price performance, you'd sooner get a radio/GPS-controlled model.
It should be if everyone (or everyone but one person) swipes left, the meeting is cancelled--can't have a meeting with one person. Or maybe notify the only person so they can revise or reschedule it.

By any chance are you Arab? If so, then I can see why that might sting (and why the others were, unfortunately, taking the tack). If you're not though, then meh, easy to dismiss.
That's an interesting take. Can you explain what both sides are compromising on?
So politicians can say "I didn't want to extend the copyright, but the budget needed to pass." Plus, passing more things at once limits the average person's ability to take in what they are doing.
Yep! Quite a few other common examples, including agenda, propaganda, referendum, corrigenda.
You don’t need big jumps. You have the previous version write the test for the next.

I’m not saying I’ve solved the path to AGI or anything. It’s just that this specific issue of “making a test harder than you can solve” has an answer.
Are people afraid of speaking out against meetings or declining them? I typically am upfront about when I think a meeting is not needed or when I’m not needed, and have no problem discussing it with my coworkers directly.

Larger meetings like all-hands are different.. no way you’re getting every attendee to agree on canceling those, that’s more management politics.
The pronunciation of Latin will vary depending on whether you're relying on classical (restored/reconstructed) or ecclesiastical pronunciation. "Cicero" in the former is [ˈkɪkɛroː], whereas in the latter, it is [ˈtʃitʃero] which is close to the English pronunciation. In most European languages, the pronunciation is closer to the latter (e.g., the Polish "Cyceron"), while, e.g., in Greek it is closer to the former (Κικέρων).
I would take them to small claims court for sure. That's abusive.
Good read. Fortunately, I'll never know such high and low points or such notoriety. And I'm comfortable with that - I've written some nice code which has hopefully helped people out. Some people know my name and, hopefully, don't take it in vain. Things turned out ok. Decades on, I can sit and type this.

For the specific government use case, having a feature but not using it is not good enough. It cannot have that feature at all, full stop.
Your comment is the epitome of the faulty thinking mentioned in the article.

The essence of your post is: "Mistakes shouldn't be made, because there may be consequences.", which is the exact thing the article is warning against.

How many people died because of Tesla auto-pilot over the last decade, across hundreds of thousands of cars on the road? Half a dozen? A dozen? This must be stopped or at least regulated, that's your argument.

To put some perspective on things: About the same number of people were killed by gun violence in Texas alone just yesterday. According to half the voters in the United States, regulation can never be justified as a solution to this carnage. Never. Literally "any" regulation is "too much" regulation in their minds.

Systems thinking is about rising above these primitive self-interested, myopic decisions. It's using numbers and facts at a global scale instead of an individual scale.

If Tesla develops a working self-driving AI, they'll save tens of thousands of lives annually, if not hundreds of thousands. Killing a few people due to imperfect intermediate stages on the way there is worth it. Not to the dead people and their families, of course, but to the overall population.

It's uncomfortable locally but optimal globally. That's literally what systems thinking is about: forcing people out of their local optimums, against their will, to achieve a global optimum. That optimum might actually be preferred by everyone, but local gradient descent by individuals will never get over the hump to achieve it.

Just look at the people suing the FAA for allowing the Starship launch. There are people that would rather that we remain stuck on Earth forever than take the slightest risk, like a few chunks of concrete being thrown around. It's absurd, but its the exact behaviour I see in large organisations at every level.
You are overestimating how much an indie artists earn of streaming.

Sportify, for example, is paying ~$0.003 / steam.
We honestly need to rethink intellectual property from top to bottom, it’s not just copyright and not just music, it’s so much more and it affects every single kind of IP:

Patent trolls, overly broad and vague patents that stifle innovation and prevent competition. Amazon should never have got a patent on 1-Click purchases and hardware shouldn’t be impossible to enter due to entrenched players’ deep patent portfolios.

Overextending trademark, look up all the ways Monster Beverages tries to abuse their “Monster” trademark, just as one example.

Copyright is used to stifle innovation in the arts as seen here. It keeps works out of the public domain for way too long as well.

Not only do these directly cause harm but they create chilling effects due to how they let the legal system be weaponized in their defense. Even if I would win a lawsuit regarding whether I’m allowed to do something, I might still let a big player bully me out of it because of the risk and asymmetric cost of going to court. This generates a huge amount of friction.

Without our current IP system you would not have all these abusive middle men in publishing, music, or other media. Not only are they stifling new art, they’re benefitting from IP by using it take a huge cut directly from artists per their contracts.

Trade secrets, allowing for reverse engineering but not direct espionage, are IMO the only kind of IP that we should allow as-is. Everything else needs to be thrown out and potentially replaced with something else less abusable - I think Netflix should be allowed to fund a big movie and recoup the costs fairly without it being immediately ripped and given away for free, but they shouldn’t get to bully people making similar content or even content extending the IP.

The fact that this G-Shock is smaller and thinner likely explains the shorter battery life. It's definitely a trade-off that some people (like you) are interested in making. I have a Garmin Fenix 5 and that thing is HUGE.
That's not Conservatism, that's apathy. On a global level, the % of illegal child labor occurring within the reach of US prosecutors is minuscule.

When you do see it in the US, it's tied to some other illegal activity.

I'm going to guess that none of these children have parents that are either legal or present, or possibly both. There was a similar story about migrant children working in auto component factories in the South that made parts for Hyundai/Kia.

...and the higher-ups do usually escape in these things. See:

The two songs are very similar in some ways -- similar enough that even Sheeran played them as a live medley. I think the strongest argument is that the common elements are mostly shared genre markers, and courts have consistently held that genre similarities aren't evidence of copying.
Nobody brought up Tesla, except obliquely by way of Musk. And arguably Tesla is another good example (electric cars, not self-driving). Do you have a response to the other names listed (Bill Gates, Steve Jobs)?

You can invoke survivorship bias on any entrepreneurial anecdote, so it doesn't contribute much to the discussion.

Also, the "asshole" was in quotes, and that's significant. No-one's discussing their social graces.

> Are people afraid of speaking out against meetings or declining them?

Depending on org culture, being direct about opting out of meetings can cast you in a negative light at best, or put your job at risk at worst.

The better the culture is around creating safety to be direct and have agency to do so, the less likely these hacks are needed.

I’m am very blunt with the dozen or so people who report up to me: if you don’t think you need to be in a meeting, say so, and drop me a message if I might have to defend the decision across the org or manage up. But all orgs are different along with their politics and quality of middle management.
That's the one! I had the number wrong.
You're thinking of SLI/Crossfire, I think. Multi-GPU has always and will always be a thing, as long as your CPU exposes enough PCI bandwidth to address both cards.
I would check these premises. It was thought that harmony was universal until it was discovered that it wasn't. Then we thought octaves were universal, but apparently there were some tribes that didn't make the association. There's a lot that we're born into, but not necessarily born with.

An example of fact exhaustion is canons. They've been done a while, but there's been a lot of music made since when.
I am reminded of the name of Othello's wife, Desdemona, which shares a similar etymology (in fact they are antonyms of one another). The sense is "ill-fated" [0]

Same here. Also a more minor issue for people like myself, the site causes some 'glare'(?) and is difficult to look at.

I've had this issue since my childhood, now that I think of it. On paper (especially grids) and websites. I should probably figure out what it is.
No, they are quite likely to be using ACF... and not even know that they are using it.

The majority of these folks pay someone to set up their website and then never touch it again until something breaks. This was the primary reasoning behind WordPress forcing automated updates.
Perhaps you should give some thought to discouraging the use of ChatGPT as if it were a source of information. The tendency to use it as a substitute for understanding or research seems corrosive to discourse.
I like to tell complete newbies that Cantonese roughly has "4 tones."

- High level

- Mid level

- Low (includes "low falling" and "low level")

- Rising (includes "low rising" and "mid rising")

I've combined similar tones into the Low and Rising categories. If you are a non-native Cantonese speaker, and don't differentiate between "low falling" and "low level", native Cantonese speakers will still understand you.

It's difficult for a non-native speaker to distinguish between "low rising" and "mid rising".... so just treat it as a rising tone. I'm a native speaker and sometimes I forget which type of rising tone a particular word is.... I didn't learn it that way, haha. I just learned to say the word the same way my parents did.

The 7th, 8th, and 9th tones are short versions of the three level tones, and they all end in a consonant (like "k"). If you pronounced them the same, but make the syllable very short, you'll be fine.

So yeah.... think of it as 4 tones, just like Mandarin. Three different level tones at high, middle, low pitches, and one rising tone :-).
Prices on this kind of stuff are often higher in Europe. Dunno if it's VAT or tariffs or what, but it seems to be across the board.

Also note that that US$50 price does not include taxes. So depending on what state you're in, the actual price you pay could be 10% or more higher.
Why is that such a problem. Just make a throwaway account that you log into once a year for the nest. Just like you would if it was some other random company(create a new account).
oh, nice to know! thanks
Not getting it.
It's not about you anyway.
It seems that many of the predictions are at least somewhat true, or are becoming truer with time, though some of them are too vague to assign a truth value. Whether they happen faster or more slowly than he predicted is not really relevant to me.
The articles explanation for the origin of this super gene seems similarly complex. Relying on their being some previous version of ant that is not clonal is a step too far into speculation for me to consider that hypothesis too seriously. Or maybe I’m missing something? Maybe an entomologist would think differently!
You are getting direct distance measurements for some things, but not for everything, so you still need a system that is predicting distance using voxels.

LIDAR doesn't work great in the rain/snow, so you still need a system that is predicting distance using voxels.

Doesn't really sound like less compute to me. I feel like I'm repeating myself but again this is what I mean by scale matters. A self-driving system that performs better in perfect conditions is not even a good system if it doesn't work in the rain.

Which is the point the detractors of "fuse all the things" have been making. Don't get me wrong, I think probably those same detractors (e.g. Elon Musk) have also not been entirely intellectually honest with their arguments and have ulterior motives like cost savings and saving face, but that doesn't make the arguments wrong.
Good points.

Thinking about this-- this is Akamai, who has historically charged for midgress. Liveness of cache could be very important.
> You also have to think about what they want you to think.

That's a wildly exaggerated interpretation of rainytuesday's post. I interpreted it as calling out the one-sided purity test applied to which media one may engage with.

I.e. you can ignore it and not think about it, but you can't expect others to concede that, just because the source doesn't parrot your side's orthodoxy, it can and should be ignored. Especially for something as mild as the statement about supporting news without a liberal filter.

Especially since, if motivated, biased, harmful (but truthful) reporting is enough to discredit a news source, then that would disqualify ABC, CBS, NBC, the Associated Press [1], the New York Times, and I'm sure many others.

If we ignore what anyone we dislike has to say, even when we think what they're saying is true, then dialogue is impossible.

The fonts at the bottom of page one and the top of page two (王漢宗中明體注音 wp010-05.ttf and 王漢宗中楷體注音 wp010-08.ttf) include pronunciation guidance using zhùyīn fúhào 注音符號 (also called “Bopomofo” 「ㄈㄅㄇㄈ」 after the first four consonants): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bopomofo

This is the phonetic system that is used most commonly in Taiwan.

Typically, phonetic pronunciation guidance is used only in educational materials. For native speakers, this means materials only for very small children. However, in Taiwan, it's not uncommon to see 注音符號 guidance to indicate when a word should be said with a non-Mandarin pronunciation. You'll see this, for example, in shops whose names contain a pun when using the Taiwanese Hokkien pronunciation.

There are other fonts that include pronunciation guidance in hànyǔ pīnyīn 漢語拼音, the phonetic system used most commonly in China: e.g., http://fonts.mobanwang.com/200909/5832.html

I don't think there are any fonts with pronunciation guidance in any of the other phonetic systems (e.g., 通用拼音, Wade-Giles, 國語羅馬字) but these have almost all fallen into disuse and appear only in old signage, historical place names, or in people's names.

(Presumably, if you are born in Taiwan, you get to pick how you want your named romanized… especially since you may want the spelling of your name to match that of your relatives. But are you allowed to pick any transliteration you desire?)
Such a beautiful word, too. It's great to see it in a context outside of a tornado that destroyed a city in Ohio.

Charcoal has been the word used for "the solid material obtained from the thermochemical conversion of biomass in an oxygen-limited environment" far longer than the word biochar has existed. Biochar is a portmanteau of biological charcoal.

It also looks like the quote from the biochar wiki page is a near copy from the charcoal page.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charcoal

There is plenty of confusion over the word "biochar" even among gardeners that use it. It is always pre-charged before adding to soil. Adding raw charcoal will rob the soil of all nutrients and kill plants.

Yay pedantry!
I was hoping this would be about vampire taps on coax Ethernet cables.
Too often, it's human nature to bias a brand or idea with the reputation of someone associated.

McNamara was too much of a nerd in the inability to apply real-world critical thinking. He probably looked for a wife using a punchcard program in FORTRAN on an IBM mainframe. Hell, he looked more IBM than IBMers. Combined with the unpopularity of the war, all fruits of his efforts were poisoned.

If, say, Ross Perot had been SECDEF, perhaps the war would've ended sooner and the MIC wouldn't have been handed as much money, and possibly could've introduced McKinsey-like thinking.
It seems to imply a dichotomy in value between seeing "as it happens" and the fossil record.

Some of the most definitive proof of speciation is the actual fossil record, while simulations or purpose constructed experiments typically achieve the desired results of their authors.
