Prompt: “Why might people be hostile towards others posting simple copy-paste's of a chatgpt dialog in response to a question?”

Response:

“There could be several reasons why people might be hostile towards others who post simple copy-paste responses from ChatGPT in a dialog:

① Lack of originality: Copy-pasting a ChatGPT response without any personal input or effort can be seen as lazy or unoriginal. It shows a lack of engagement and genuine interaction with the question or conversation. People might value unique perspectives and insights, so when they see someone simply copying and pasting a response, they may perceive it as a low-quality contribution.

② […]
③ […]
④ […]

It's important to note that individual reactions may vary, and not everyone will respond with hostility in such situations. However, these reasons provide some insight into why certain individuals might have negative reactions towards simple copy-paste responses from ChatGPT.”

I don't agree with the sentiment that the experts have written off hydrogen. Actually I had a lot I'd say on that but it would come off as completely snarky.

While hydrogen and electric via battery storage will form a large part of the path ahead, especially in urban and industrial sectors, there are other paths which haven't got much light. For one, certain interests keep prodding bio fuels ... while the oil industry keeps very very quiet that the fuel crackers in their refineries could utilise ordinary renewable organic based oils as a feed stock to produce the same as presently used in vehicles.

Green hydrogen certainly will be a product of huge demand in the future, based on what I've read the last couple years ... the smart money is on anhydrous ammonia, for which its production requires a lot of hydrogen. However I guess why this sector is attracting so much interest, if there's a better path than ammonia as a means to utilise hydrogen, those successful will reap the rewards.

They are already trialling using ammonia as a fuel for the same large engines found in cargo ships. [1] Fuel cells installations using ammonia already exist [2]

I think I agree with you on principle, but temps higher than 100 are totally fine in a lot of cases. Hot tubs are at 102-106. 120°F takes you like 10 minutes to suffer serious burns. But 140° will cause burns in seconds. I've seen cooks handle stuff waaay hotter than 140 for a half secondish (grab a noodle from a pot of boiling water, poke a 160+° burger on a grill, etc). Obviously makes a big difference if you splash yourself a bit vs get a whole cup on you too.
No surprise at all, they’ve always been bad news.
One mechanic that people tend to hate but I really loved at the time was Word Tendency in Demons Souls.

If you died repeatedly in body form the game got harder as tendency tended to black (dying is frequent in souls games and if you are in body form you have more HP, dying in body form put you at 50% Max Hp and uou had to use a consumable item or kill a boss or invade another player and kill them to get your body back). Killing bosses moved it toward white.

Tougher enemies would appear in black tendencies, but you’d get more experience points. The game was slightly easier in white tendency. Different paths would close or open depending on your tendency.

Trying to figure this stuff out in 2009 before the ubiquity of internet wikis was something else, as this mechanic was not explained very well (souls games are obtuse in general, really by design).

There was also a separate “character tendency” mechanic that affected quest lines and other things.

It made completionist runs annoying and it was just a pain to manipulate it in certain ways to get the outcome you wanted - would have loved a rework in the later souls games but they just abandoned it.

Demons Souls is probably still my favourite Souls title for just all of the weird, quirky, unpolished/jank things about it it made it quite a unique experience.
The war on drugs was never about drugs. The war on terror was never about terror. The war on poverty was also never about poverty. You seem to have a fundamental misunderstanding of the intent behind these programs. For example, the War on Drugs was to disrupt minority and leftist populations explicitly.
I'm really upset Haskell is so slow/GC'd/etc. Every other language feels like a chore coming from it, particularly for parsers and interpreters.
My archetypal staff engineer is Wernher von Braun, father of Saturn V. The quality he demonstrated:

- Breaking ground. He turned a seemingly impossible idea into reality.
- Getting substantial breakthrough in each iteration.
- In the trench. He was the designer of multiple rockets, and he was the person who solved tough engineering problems and pushed the boundary of rocket science.
- Leadership. He knew what he had to know deeply and what he could delegate, and he unblocked his teams whenever needed.

In contrast, the Staff Engineers I see in many companies are technical product managers, skilled coordinators, excellent box drawers, and masters of jargons. They do everything but engineering. You can probably identify them easily as their resumes are full of phrases like "uber technical leader" or "coordinated across 100 teams". Their careers depend on how lucky they are to find an effective team to execute. Mind you, this sounds like my blame, but it's really not. If anything, it's my lament. Those engineers were deeply technical before they got promoted. It's just that sooner or later, the leadership needed someone who could communicate up and down and around. The staff engineers would need to show up in more and more meetings, "align" more and more teams, conduct more and 1-on-1s to build relationships, draw more and more boxes to appease the "stakeholders". Sooner or later they are busy in meetings all day, they are no longer in the trench, and they get comfortable with throwing terms like BERT and Raft and what not without knowing the underpinning theory or implementation in a coherent way. Of course, there's nothing wrong with such roles and they will continue doing well in their positions. It's just that I'm not sure such job would give me much satisfaction.
There are no benefit.

This feels like a shameless plug, sorry. I sometimes do volunteer work at a (mostly personal) computer museum in Tokyo. https://www.dream-library.org/museum/index.html

If anyone nearby is reading this, please consider coming by sometime :)

(You need a reservation. Not everything works. In fact most machines don't work probably. It's not super fancy like the Living Computer Museum was. There's a lot of stuff on the floor. It'll probably move to a bigger place soon so that'll get better probably. It's not particularly cheap; there's a yearly fee (no auto-renewals) and a per-visit fee. You need a reservation and in order to get it you probably need to be fluent in Japanese. You probably also need to be fluent in Japanese to have a good time there because I'm not sure if the owner speaks English.)

So far I fixed: ZX81, VIC-20, PET 2001, various MSX machines. (See my blog for details :p)
I think there’s an important distinction. It may not add value to whomever is writing the itemized expense, but more accurate data could add value to someone else who needs it for accountability or uses it to benchmark future work. You have to assess the entire value stream.
Almost assuredly not a bad thing.

Our #1 'economics' problems is that we do not measure 'consumer surplus'.

If everything all of a sudden cost 1 cent to buy, the GDP would disappear, but the value to each of us would be immense assuming we could figure out a way to divide the surpluses evenly without a war.

Consumer surplus is variable, each of us 'values' things in different ways, but still, it should be on the books.

Inflation measures try to accommodate for that (aka stuff getting better) but it's hard.

My god man, I remember 'before Walmart was everywhere' and you just could not buy 'stuff'.

I remember in the 90's going to a big Walmart and thinking: "I could buy everything I ever needed here" if I didn't care about brand, keeping up with the Jonses. I don't think young people realize how revolutionary it is that we live with a super abundance of stuff. Particularly for working class people, it's changed everything.

We live in an age of material abundance - and now arguably over abundance (a different kind of surplus), and much of our problems are derived from that and how we align our finances.

We have to deal with the real estate problem, and, the massive increase in healthcare. Healthcare will be 40% of the economy in 25 years.
To add, regarding Arena at least, it seems like all they give a shit about now is releasing new and older cards meant for commander/brawl.

Sure those formats are fun, but they should still focus on the core format and at the very least release some older sets in their entirety rather than just for the sake of commander/brawl play.

Also <insert_unfounded_rant_about_the_shuffler>

Idk maybe im just getting old and grumpy, but I still love the original format.

Do people remember the anthrax scare in the early 2000s ? I thought Congress authorized scanning for anthrax and bombs.

My main development machine (of several here) is still on Win7, mainly due to the hassle of having to migrate 10 years of Win dev tools and legacy third party COM licenses to Win10. (the rest of my systems are on Win10)

That said I'm going to have to bite the Win10 bullet soon as several applications are phasing out Win7 support, Chrome being the main one right now. It's disappointing as having grown up with Windows since 3.1 I'm still partical to the compact classic theme (even despite the old grey colour). I still find the Win10 and up UI to be a waste of space.

Oh well... progress?

Curious, do we know how successful this author is? Normally who the author is does not matter to the quality of a book, but in this case, I assume we'd want to read about a top engineer's perspective on becoming a great engineer.

Insurance companies already offer you “discounts” (or pretend to) if you install their pervasive tracking dongle. How they use that data is NOT to the consumers benefit. When I was in school, an insurance company (idk which one but it’s in Cleveland area) pitched us to work for them on this system. They laughed to us about all the fools who give them data. They bill you more if you travel through intersections with lights (every intersection has a risk score), take left turns on your way home from work, etc. - they had some insane amount of data. If they shared the safety data with everyone then I’d be more ok with it. I wish I could ask Apple/Google maps to route me “safely”.

I was going to refuse my spy dongle, but they offered a >80% discount. Everyone has a price, but I wish the government disincentivized this behavior.
If you are a ChatGPT Plus user you can also use ChatGPT 4 with the AskYourPDF plugin. The advantage is that you can just feed the PDF through your own URL and don't have to upload it to a third party.
The way they try to "intelligently" organize everything and make "searching" the default way to access things really breaks the mental model. This disconnect also makes it hard to utilize muscle memory and procedural memory to find things. I remember when I was younger and using Windows 2000, I could flick my mouse like I was in CS:GO grand finals, and use keyboard shortcuts like I was hackerman. That speed came from a procedural familiarity, not from my young age at the time. I know that because kids of the current generation don't have the same abilities, because modern OSes, in their strive to simplify everything, have in fact created more friction for the user.

The “False” before every explanation is so incredibly off-putting. I think the site would be more effective if the explanations were just the explanation. The title has “fallacy”, no need to repeat that these assumptions are not true.

I see it in a completely different lens. Engineering is hard. Good engineering more so. What's even harder is to manage those projects well without having the technical skill to understand it. Whenever I find a technically challenging & innovative project, there's always a technical lead/manager that makes it all possible.
It's not always great, but try explainpaper [1].

I have nothing to do with it, but to me it's the best, they seem to put some real effort on it since day one.

> You should probably learn some physics

FYI, ad hominem are not nice

> if you reject dark energy, you're still limited by pure geometry and the speed of light.

I do reject dark energy.

And I'd like to remind you that you have a lot of assumptions baked-in.

To cut in short, if in the worst case there's no spooky-effect-at-a-distance and uncertainty prevents us to go to subatomic levels, and if there are no subspaces, then yes, growth might be limited to the (elapsed time)^3.

That's a lot of ifs, and that'd still be not an argument for degrowth - just for a very large upper ceiling that'd still be compatible with continuous (and large!) growth.

Let's explore the science before making the doomer conclusion we must brace for degrowth, because I see that as an argument driven by ideology, not by science.
Every second version was useful (of the consumer-oriented Windows). Windows 95 was good(OK, it wasn't perfect, but a big step up from earlier version). Windows 98 sucked. Windows 98SE was good. Windows ME sucked. Windows XP was good. Vista sucked. Windows 7 good. 8 sucked. 10 good. 11 sucks.

Well it's mainly a personal choice, but for example I pointed out dark patterns with VSCode here with regard to telemetry

i.e. according to VS Codium, they are not able to fully disable telemetry

https://lobste.rs/s/mt2p8g/google_groups_has_been_left_die#c...

And the fact that basically all software is filled with dark patterns these days, so you might be able to say Microsoft is far from the worst offender

But personally I would choose to invest my time elsewhere

---

I would probably rather use commercial software with telemetry enabled as long as it was disclosed, rather than "open source" with intentional confusion around the issue
Do you mean what counts as lower-end hardware in 2023?

In that case, I doubt it. You probably couldn't even use all your RAM. Linux back then also supported only a single processor (if it boots at all): symmetric multiprocessing support was added in 1996.
We are doing a Hackathon currently with the exact same idea. What are the chances?
I think it is exactly 1s. If you set both sides to max, it will be 2s total.

2s is a lot for latency. Checking https://cloudpingtest.com/aws, the max from where I am to any place on earth is 1.3s.

There are definitely still cases where the cursors hiccup. We have move work to do to get to where we want before our open beta.
complete newbie here: what is the intuition behind the conclusion that "cat" is highly related to "black" as opposed to, say, "mat"?
> Respect user's taking without giving anything in return?

Don't make something appear to be free, and then try and swindle someone down the road. Ask for money or don't. Painting a user going to an unsecured site as "taking without giving" is disingenuous. If the website is open to all, it is free, and there is no expectation of payment.

> IMO if users block ads then I imagine the websites are well within their rights to deny service or ask for other forms of payment.

If a site expects to be paid, make it a paid site. Block me from entering. If not, it's free, and don't put ads on it. If you want to appear free but try to force me to receive content I didn't request, I will block it. Simple as.
The casinos I've been to were as much theme parks as they were gambling houses; simply walking around in them taking in the atmosphere was an experience in their own right.

Most pachinko parlors by contrast hardly have any room. There are rows of pachinko machines with small stools in front, and there's barely room to walk around. It's just you and the machine in front of you, and all the noise; careful not to bother the guys sitting either side of you. I'd say they are very different from casinos outside of their gambling nature.
If you use the API, which this clearly does, they don't train on the input. You can see their guarantees in their terms and conditions, but you have a reasonable expectation of privacy.

I say reasonable, because in a company growing that fast, everything is on fire all the time and security is the last thing considered.
I met someone who spent six months in a SCIF waiting on a project to start. Go in every day and wait for 8 hours for some indication that work was available.

He said by the end of the "project" (which never involved any actual work) he had a complete space invaders clone written in Microsoft Excel with multiple levels, different game modes, difficulty levels, high scores, etc.
That Pepsi doc made the rounds like 15 years ago. I remember seeing it first on Reddit, someone had claimed it was a branding pitch. There was a lot of back and forth on wether or not it's a hoax because it's absurd, but I've been in some meetings where we've gone through branding presentations that sound pretty similar.
I suppose a Texan could use more energy than today, if desired, and still be "greener" than today, if the energy came from a local renewable source. Let solar panels and especially batteries grow even cheaper.

Same applies to Sri Lanka; it's a very sunny place.

BTW stationary batteries can be bulkier and heavier than lithium, as long as they are cheaper per kWh stored. Such chemistries exist and are actively developed.
At staff and principle level, the job becomes mentoring and working with other senior people under you. There might be a business need/problem, and you have the vision to address it. You gather the requirements, do feasibility studies, evaluate the technologies, nail down the architecture, design the components, and work closely with other senior engineers on the prototype/design/implementation. You might code up the prototype and proof of concept during the exploratory phase. You might code up couple components you believe you're the expert in doing it.

At the end of the day, you're the voice and the advocate to ensure your end-to-end vision is implemented.
This is not truth, just author is too young.

In real life, in 1980s, when appear first Laser printers, some of them was "software driven", and used special software on computer to render.

And one of example of such "software printer" marketed by Sun, and I know exactly, their software stack was very agile, so people connected Ghostscript instead of standard proprietary render engine.

Other parts are similar to 3D printers slice engines.

Also, render is not simple task, so even when have "hardware" render board, in HP LJ 4M, we always use "dither by software" switch in Photoshop in 90s, because much better quality and lot more properties to tune accessible, vs "hardware" render board.

So, reason is the same, why Photoshop exceeds GIMP - just too much work need to make really good software, but nobody will sell hardware for it, so modern 3D printers ecosystem (with open firmware), appear just because Chinese dumping hardware sales, so appear niche for opensource 3D printing solutions.
