It's somewhat sad this tool is so desperately needed to make modern 'news' media less annoying and more useful. Frankly, over the past year I've intentionally blocked almost all news media out of my life by aggressively curating all my content. It was weird at first but over time I've found I'm less distracted and happier. I get more done and I'm now able to better focus on the people and things that actually matter to me.

It's ironic that this tool is essentially reverting news reporting back to what journalism is supposed to be - factually reporting notable events that have already happened. It's bizarre how acceptable it now is for 'news' to include 'opinion and speculation'.
Yes, ChatGPT isn't a great developer. This has been known for a while now.

it can churn out decent code within well-specified parameters, but is unable to help out with the actual developer aspects of the role (debugging, critical thinking, requirement gathering, complaining about chatGPT, browsing HN, code-reviews, etc)

I don't know why this keeps getting blogged about / brought up.
Congrats on the launch!

> "The fern leaf thus develops from the inside out and not by randomly dispersed dots that gradually fill the leaf area, as is done with chaos computer programs."

That one is kind of silly, because while the chaos game is one way to realize an IFS like the Barnsley fern, there are others that are more geometric. For example specifically in that case, you can iterate any closed set in the plane under the contractive mapping that defines it, and you will end up converging to the set. Nothing chaotic about that. The algorithm they are referring to (chaos game) does it pointwise which is easier in a computer, but relies on the fact that the resultant sequence of points will, at least after a while, stay distributed over a probability measure supported by the set.
Why one way but not the other - just that pouring power onto the grid requires cooperation but producing hydrogen doesn't, or is there something more fundamental at play?
Reminded me of Bartebly the Scrivener and “I would prefer not to”, but also Byul-Chun Han and “Burnout Society”. A very short summary of the latter is that in our day and age we exploit ourselves on behalf of people who would in previous decades exploit us. But of course the author explores both reasons and consequences of this phenomena.
The way to overcome that is to start off with broken gear and to repair it. You'll be forced bit by bit to understand how the circuits work. It helps if there is a schematic and if there isn't then you'll have to trace the circuit yourself which will help even more in building up a mental model. Of course this all presumes that there is a circuit worth examining to begin with, more often than not these days you'd be looking at a bunch of custom made chips and a few external components too large to fit into the chip which itself contains a microprocessor and a bunch of software to do the heavy lifting.

But pick up an 80's tape recorder or amplifier that's busted and you're going to have fun learning. Start on the simplest stuff you can find and work your way up from there.

It does, using this method.

My immediate thought as well was '... Yeah, well vimdiff can do that in milliseconds rather than 22 seconds' - but that's obviously missing the point entirely.
Of course, we need to tell people to use the right tool for the job, and that will be more and more important to remind people of now.

However, it's pretty clear that the reason they used this task is to give something simple to understand what was done in a very simple example.
Of course it can do more semantic understanding related tasks, because that's what the model does.

So, without looking at the details we all know that it can summarize full books, give thematic differences between two books, write what a book may be like if a character switch from one book to another is done, etc.

If it doesn't do these things (not just badly, but can't at all) I would be surprised. If it does them, but badly, I wouldn't be surprised, but it also wouldn't be mind bending to see it do better than any human at the task as well.

You can get there without a diploma and a degree using time, books (or youtube) and a modest quantity of tools (the setup in TFA would be overkill for establishing a basic knowledge about electronics).
Hmm, maybe a bit too black and white, there are good and bad times. What I'm surprised to find out is how much I enjoy having more time and less drama around the house. And less clutter.
I think you are assuming that turbines would be paired with a certain number of batteries and taken together that would provide continuous power. But that is just not how a grid works or how the economics work. Battery storage is economical because you can buy cheap and sell high. And a system with high renewables penetration will see some very high prices for a few hours or days per month and cheap prices the rest of the time. That is ideal for battery storage, particularly as renewables gets cheaper.

Yeah that's the one. I have extremely vague memories of it but I've heard people talk about it a lot.
The C macro language is technically a different language (though today they are specified together, they originated once as different compiler tools) than C and lot of DSLs get written in it because C programmers are trying to avoid actually writing C.

There's also a lot of C programmers that prefer to use C++ compilers in C++ mode for their C code to avoid direct contact with C specification bugs or some C standard libraries.

(Plus, early C itself was designed to avoid direct contact with Assembly languages which was designed to avoid direct contact with Machine languages some of which were designed to avoid direct contact with Microcode languages most of which were designed to avoid direct contact with TTL logic and TTL logic was designed to avoid direct contact with the useful properties of transistors for computation and so forth. Programming is turtles all the way down.)

(Also there are quibbles to be made about "at all costs". JSX is still a superset of JS syntax with a little bit extra added in. Typescript is built to be a superset of JS syntax. You can't write either without a lot of direct contact with JS. Neither seems like "at all costs" avoidance to me.)

It doesn’t say exclusively for the beta period
They'll have Apple's (likely immense) license fees for at least a decade - Apple won't make another architecture change anytime soon. And the rest of ARM's business... it's not like there are any alternatives. China hasn't managed to create a competitor, and even if they do it may very well be sanctioned and so useless to the US and EU. Intel/AMD's x86 is a dead end for the high-efficiency, low power market that ARM targets. PowerPC, MIPS and SuperH have been dead for years. There's always the possibility that RISC or some other open ecosystem rises, yes, but ARM is decades ahead and it would take absurd amounts of investments that I don't see appearing any time soon given the interest rate hike.
Do they pay for a news feed to get the original articles to desensationalize? I’m curious about any copyright or licensing issues around using external news articles as source material for desensationalizing.
The Art of Electronics is useful as a reference, certainly.

Using it to learn circuit design (just at the schematic level, still) would take serious effort (hundreds of hours) and would be far more effective if done with a skilled instructor.

There used to be simpler, smaller books that showed a simplified design process for circuit building blocks.

Over the long term? Pretty much all of them.

While some years are slower than others and there's the occasional recession where groth does go negative, long term economic growth is very reliable. In the US, GDP has increased 52 out of the past 60 years, with GDP per capita increasing 2200% in that time period. If you invested in the S&P500 in 1960, you'd have made an inflation adjusted return of over 4000%. Wealth is constantly being created, infrastructure is built faster than it's destroyed, there are scientific and technological innovations, and people become more educated and better skilled, and quality of life generally improves.

It's really difficult for an economy to legitimately go down. That takes like North Korea levels of mismanagement. If your country collapses, the sovereign wealth fund is likely the least of your worries.

Programmers tend to turn everything into a programming problem (guilty as charged). But I got into electronics before I got into programming and rather than spending time on parts inventory programs I would spend the time on fixing things and designing little circuits, then build them up on vero board. No software required!
As much as I dislike FTX/Sam, there's no way this is correct. What the IRS is probably doing is naming the highest number they can think of in hopes of increasing the percent of liquidated holdings they get once this goes through bankruptcy, which is particularly scummy considering they're just taking the money from people who actually deserve it.
The primary way of editing code in Pharo, Squeak, and similar implementations derived from Smalltalk-80 (but not all, some use the more familiar idiom of "many files in many directories") is to use one of the built-in (to the Smalltalk environment) browsers.

Select the package, class, and then method (or the options to create new ones) and the method will be in an editor pane for you. Start changing it, and the change is immediately applied once saved. No need to rebuild the world and restart the image. (Of course, that leads to some fun things where you can redefine True/False and break the image right there on the spot. Pharo seems to do a good job of blocking you from changing things like that so easily.)

Smalltalk code "lives" in a database. You interact with that database. The code is also serialized to a file if you happen to want more conventional access, but that's not the normal route. Though serialization to files is how Pharo and others allow you to interact with git and collaborate with other people.

You are implying a causal relationship where I was not. My point wasn't that socialized health care would be bad or that we shouldn't adopt it in the U.S. (I support the idea). Just that for many Americans working in tech (who don't have rare conditions) the cost of health insurance is not a huge factor relative to their salary or billable rate. As an anecdote in my 30s working as a consultant I paid $300/mo per person in my household.

That's with an effective tax rate of like 12% for middle class which is absurdly low. On top of which tech workers can probably afford to shove in the max contribution to an HSA every year completely tax free and then use it for healthcare expenses and/or invest it for retirement otherwise (that's what my wife & I do).
Starship's exhaust is CO2 and water. At scale, make the fuel from ambient CO2 and you're net-zero carbon. Water vapor in the stratosphere is a potential problem but only at extreme volume, since most of the exhaust is at lower altitude.

Definitely we should do the moon and orbitals too, and Starship's launch costs would make that a lot easier. Mars does have things to recommend it though: lots of local resources, gravity only 1/3 of Earth's so you can get to orbit with just the Starship upper stage, only place in the solar system besides Earth where you can grow crops on natural sunlight, close to the asteroid belt.

This is like asking how you'd choose between Emacs and Vim, Mac and PC, Monoliths and Microservices, Functional and Object Oriented .. you're likely going to elicit a lot of passion and not a ton of objective information.

For most applications, either choice is going to be just fine. Use what your team has the most experience with. If you have no experience, try them both out and go with whatever you're most comfortable with.
Postgres. Fast, full-featured, rock-solid, and a great community.

I think many of us can’t be bothered to go over (again) the issues we’ve had with MySQL in the past. The last straw for me was about ten years ago, when I caught MySQL merrily making up nonsense results for a query I’d issued that accidentally didn’t make any sense.

Very likely this particular issue, and others like it, have been fixed in the meantime. But I just got the sense that MySQL was developed by people who didn’t quite know what they were doing, and that people who really did know what they were doing weren’t ever likely to be attracted to that to fix it.
Most impressive one I've seen so far. It even works on mobile which is unheard of for most web based desktop environments.

For 99% of the use cases a 4.5 digit one would be plenty. That gives you mV accuracy up to 10V.
Also our sources of gas are relatively diverse and secure compared to some main land countries. The UK maintained supply just fine, the problem was price. And arguably that had more to do with lack of nuclear capacity in France.
FWIW while I use Postgres for my own development I've had to administer a number of MySQL servers for other devs. Upgrades have always been updating the MySQL package, restarting MySQL, then running `mysql_upgrade`, and restart the server again. I'm pretty sure the mysql_upgrade has even been missed a number of times and it's worked fine.

I won't say it's impossible you ran into issues doing this, but it is the documented and supported upgrade path.

I love Postgres, but as someone whose maintained both for years, upgrades (at small scale) are the one area where I'd say MySQL has Postgres beat.
But are rarely promoted as an investor benefit.
If we translate that from financial to real-world terms, it means that people aren't getting paid enough to cover wear and tear on their cars.

I think that depends on how much you paid for the car and how long it will last (depends on quality, how good the maintenance is, and luck). Also, cash pays the rent and lower depreciation doesn't (unless you sell the car), so some people may prefer this to borrowing money.
Do a little googling and you can probably find code on github to take care of the "get me terrain for these coordinates" part for you. That's how I managed it a few years ago when I was programmatically downloading tiles from google earth without understanding how to convert from coordinates to their url scheme.

Might have to wait a week though.
> I think you have assumed the worst from my comment.

I assumed that you are against gender equality. Gender equality meaning that men and women are given the freedom to do as they wish without being sanctioned. I think you'll find that men and women tend to gravitate toward very different lifestyles in the most egalitarian societies - look at gender ratios in various job fields in Norway or Sweden - but life is much easier for those men and women who are not typical. It seems rather wasteful to organize society around the needs of 80% while forcing 20% into a box that doesn't fit them. Better to let people self sort.

If you think gender equality means that women are being sanctioned for doing traditionally womanly things like home making or mothering I'd have to ask where you got the information that led you to that conclusion because it doesn't fit with my own experiences growing up in the United States.

> A culture where both men and women are expected to work and have the same roles and responsibilities is the worst treatment. It does not respect gender differences and strength differences.

This comment is just a roundabout way of saying that you believe gender equality is bad.

> You asked me to quote birth rates so I looked up birth rates of Russian minorities.

Why minorities? What makes them substantially different from, say, an Orthodox white Russian who lives in St. Petersburg, or one who lives in Yakutia for that matter?

A typical engagement takes a week, including reporting. After that it depends on how fast you move to remediate things, but on average we perform retesting a few weeks later.

And absolutely. We use Slack Connect to have a shared workspace between our testers and the client. That connection will remain open after the pentest finishes for any security advice you might need at any random moment.
> that this difference is profound

My pet theory is that that the the differences are usually minor. But differentiating between men and women is deeply wired into out brains. Some people are self aware enough to realize that and others like yourself are not.

I mean, it's an obituary. They don't really need to spend an additional paragraph about their opinion on climate change, given that they have articles that are about climate change all over the rest of the magazine. The idea that they're secretly climate change deniers because they don't spend as much time on it as you'd like in an obituary is honestly slightly crazy.
