I’m more thinking that a curators could provide a list of items on display in that particular exhibit during the short period of time the author could narrow things down, with corresponding descriptions like would be accompanied by the exhibit.

Museums, like libraries, are organizers of information. Think of them somewhat as databases. Of course some are better than others at this.

I once had cause to track down a beautiful statue I’d seen in the MoMa some years earlier because I wanted to find a reproduction. It was gone. I found a local docent and asked, describing it (bronze color, a few feet high, sweeping curves that led to points and formed a vaguely human shape)

They weren’t sure but went to inquire. I waited maybe half an hour before they came back and said it was titled “Unique Forms of Continuity in Space”, but it was not currently on display. I asked if it was somewhere in storage that would allow a quick viewing (sometimes possible) but unfortunately it wasn’t.

But being given the title, it enabled me to buy a small reproduction, which sits on my desk :)
IOW, it's a 90 degree tangent?
The piece of software I miss the most since moving from MacOS to Windows is Cheap Impostor: http://cheapimpostor.com. It lets you turn any PDF into a correctly imposed 2-up/magazine/n-signature PDF ready for printing and assembling. It does it all with total control over margins, gutters, zoom lever, with an instant preview.

It was so nice to have it during university. I would use it for printing out papers as A5 "magazines" that I would bind myself. Very satisfying.

I never found anything quite like it for Windows
Although MPs from England can't vote on the Scottish legislation per se, MPs from England make up most of the elected members of the present government, and that government can and has used its power (misleadingly named "Royal Assent") to block legislation it doesn't like.

Basically they "advise" the Queen or King not to grant "assent" which is a formal part of the legislative process, so now the law is dead.

Now, it would likely prompt a straight up constitutional crisis and calls to declare independence unilaterally if they did this to some Scottish law about what is clearly a Scottish competence widely understood to be a matter for Scots, like rent reform, but they can do it anyway, they just haven't.
Langton’s ant
I don't think it's quite that, it was the pandemic and forced remote work.

Broadly what I saw is before the pandemic, employers reserved "remote work" for a select few, the boss gets to stay in his city and work from home, but you have to relocate. Anytime you would bring this up with your employer they would just go "well we just don't know [what would happen if you went remote]".

The pandemic flipped that on it's head because now everyone was working from home and realizing that most jobs could be done remotely. Now that employer can't tell you that same line before, because everyone knows the game is up, everyone knows you can be equally productive remote as you can in the office, so employees are calling the bluff.
And it's not even as neat as a 2 hour ride to the office. It's take a short drive to the train station with a little bit of buffer--because the next train will be an hour later. Take the train. Take the subway where I probably won't have a seat. Walk about 15 minutes.

So it's a pretty reasonable transit system, albeit with reduced schedules (and eliminated express trains) since COVID. But it's still a haul to go in for a day even though it's a pretty reasonable 1 hour drive outside of busy times.
What does telemetry mean?
This is amazing. Kudos.
The one which pretended to delete your save file got a lot of people.
Had an offer for a remote job... if and only if I were to relocate to California ( several thousand miles away from where I am now ) for _two months_ for "onsite training" before going fully remote.

With a pay cut.

And worse incentives than where I was.

?????

They were downright _flabbergasted_ when I said no. As if it weren't going to be a massive disruption to my entire life and way of being.
Multiple timers!? Apple, hire this man!
Both hands are required to clap, and frankly workers play their own games too. The vast majority of folks have no issues enabling terrible situations for a paycheck, and pretending to work isn’t exactly new either.
> The debt is higher than the GDP

The "% of GDP" measure of debt is misleading. Nothing special happens or "runs out" at 100%.

A better way to say "150% of GDP" here is "18 months of GDP".
Let's get this clear, the endpoint responses are hallucinated by an LLM, right? So this is mostly a tool to experiment with endpoint design in a non-committal way? Or am I missing something fundamental here?
Fourier Transform is one of my favourite topic in maths and computer science. I am anways happy to stumble upon new resources about it.

While taking courses in signal processing at university I built a collection of interactive visualiztations to provide a experimental and intuitive approach without much technical explanations.[1]

I already submitted a few of them to HN and received very motivating feedback.[2] I am sure some of you who like the OP article might also enjoy these.

The latest visualization is dedicated to the trade-off between time and frequency resolution/uncertainty priciple.

Honestly from my experience laptop benchmarks are easily gamed and often useless. I'm way more interested in this kind of subjective review.
Seems to me the tech industry is more forgiving than many jobs, in the area of gaps , perceived "flakiness" etc. Many employers just care whether you can crank out the required features whilst getting along with colleagues. If yes, you're all set. Maybe you should look at contracting?. No-one cares much what you did before with that, just, can you meet the specific requirements for the next few months. Also, there are startups out there that are open-minded. Its supply and demand. If you work somewhere that can't offer as much pay, they can't afford to be picky about gaps. And a job like that can be a stepping stone to a better one. Been there, done that myself after a couple years out of the industry when younger. Good luck :)
Maybe you are purposely ignoring many data points of how badly things are going. Musk instituted blue checkmarks that are purchased by a subset of customers with particular views. If you question this, look at the responses to Biden tweets and see the positions of anti- vs pro-Biden comments.

Because of this, Twitter is ridiculously partisan on my feed. I’ve limited my consumption of it to very small subject matters and will likely jump ship totally to BlueSky with some Mastodon thrown in. I know a lot of people in science who have completely abandoned Twitter.
> Maybe he's a great team player (...) and doesn't want people to touch what he builds for himself

Isn't that the exact opposite of being a great team player?

I had a boss who was "a great team player" once. We were both working for a rapidly growing startup and he was very open to suggestions on how to improve the system. So naturally when he started his own project I was very much eager to work with him again.

Turns out that it's easy to be a great team player when you are spending someone else's money and changing someone else's code. When I proposed changes to the system he built himself he took it very personal and all of a sudden he was not so open anymore.

It's easy to be generous with other people's money.
I don't know if you had to pay a deposit, but if you did I think you are really lucky that the owners turned out to be honnest sellers. If you took this approach in Eastern Europe with a property that has many owners of distant relations you would have very likely lost your deposit and courts would be unable to help you. If there are more than two owners (husband and wife) my advice is to pay a lawayer around a 1000eur to see you through the whole legal process.
"Open" AI
There is a huge number of minor annoyances (People tend to complain about start menus ads performance regressions, poor context menu in Win11 etc - and I agree with all of them).

But there is also a massive number of small things added and improve. Just between base Win10 and more recent Win10 there is a huge number of features added regarding for example how apps DPI scale, especially when moving across multiple screens with different DPI for example. Or WSL. So I wouldn't agree "everything" is going in the wrong direction. Something as simple as Win+Shift+S is an amazing improvement which required a third party tool under Win7 but no more since 2010CU. The new terminal... the list goes on and on.

Based on my previous attempts with that other well noted LLM, I don't think these models are at all good at managing "theory of mind". They seem to not keep track very well of which parties are privy to which information, which parties are supposed to be pursuing certain conversational objectives, and generally which direction information is supposed to be flowing. It often trips over itself at the level of 2 parties, and certainly trip over itself at the level of 3 parties. Additionally, I have not once seen it be able to do a form of recursive nesting wherein one of the two parties in a dialog begin to discuss verbatim a dialog between two additional people. I suspect these problems are deeply seated and intrinsic to the model, and will not be rectified under the "just train it more bro" refrain of AI evangelicals.
GPT meant, "Get Paid To" in the incentive advertising world. Maybe your product was using this acronym?

These robo-takedown outfits are a form of spam in my view. If you are publishing large sites or include user generated content you've probably run into them more than once. From what I've seen claimed as infringing it is obvious that there is no human review process. Compare to the expense of filing court actions for bulk frivolous claims.

Typically they can be ignored if your hosting provider is game. Their first step will be to try to harvest your data by provoking a response. If you do feel compelled to respond, be sure to run it by someone with legal expertise. Anything you say can be misconstrued in the worst possible way.

At the end of the day, these companies want to produce metrics to say, "We defended your brand from N number of verified infringement incidents this quarter. Based on the escalating threat volume, we recommend giving us more money going forward..."

IANAL, but I would avoid interacting with these 3rd party trolls. If they truly want to send a demand letter, ChatGPT's lawyers should send it by courier and obtain receipt of your signature. Until then I wouldn't take it seriously. This doesn't even rise to the level of a genuine legal threat or registered demand letter. It is more of a scare tactic.
> I'm pretty sure that disabling Face ID when replacing the camera with a generic one is primarily a measure to thwart potential hardware-based attacks.

I'm pretty sure it's not. The number of people which would be targeted by this is too small to justify the additional costs. The vast majority of people which would be targeted by this are pretty much screwed anyhow since the adversary already has physical access. It's much more likely a brand protection scheme to ensure there are fewer items out there with sub-par hardware.

Very relieved that they chose to back off the initial opt-out proposal. It’s always refreshing to see a language listening to its user base. This was the kind of decision that could instantly change the reputation of a PL, for purely political / psychological reasons.
Dennett has been thinking about this longer than anyone. It’s worth taking him seriously.
You don't think it's outrageous or at least cringeworthy that an insurance company used a one-size-fits-all, deterministic, possibly opaque and proprietary math formula to estimate an inherently fuzzy date based on a chain reaction of biological processes with duration error bars far exceeding one day, and then mechanically making an all-or-nothing coverage decision because of a TWO-DAY difference between that speciously precise date and the date on which enrollment forms were filed?

That may be the way the contracts and laws are currently set up, and if we want to have a child without going bankrupt, we have to play the game. But it's simultaneously possible to recognize that the system produces some deeply ridiculous cases such as this one.

I don’t think Musk is a very reliable narrator in general, and given the history he’s probably particularly unreliable in the context of OpenAI.

As far as I know, the terms of their deal with Microsoft aren’t public, but all the reporting I’ve seen has suggested the opposite - that OpenAI basically kept full control over anything resembling the crown jewels. And why wouldn’t they? It was a frothier market when the deal was made, and it’s not like they couldn’t have raised capital from dozens of other sources.

I like my 2022 framework, but the Linux support has been disappointing.

I've had off and on display issues: both the built-in display, which used to constantly freeze (now less so), and external displays which sometimes will stop working until I switch kernels. Battery life is awful -- it'll last maybe 8 hours with the screen off (doing basically nothing, but not sleeping). A few hours of actual use. Sometimes the replaceable ports stop working until I re-insert them after boot. The manual screen brightness doesn't work until you disable the auto adjustment and reboot (not sure if this was fixed).

It's about the level of support I'd expect form a laptop not specifically advertised as Linux friendly, except Linux was part of the marketing for Framework.

Just want to put this out there since this review didn't test Linux.
10 years seems a bit pessimistic. Building a new fab takes about five years I believe.
Its been a while since I distro/desktop hopped around the Linux world, but these are definitely still out there.

Bodhi Linux especially comes to mind with their enlightenment fork moksha. LXQT or XFCE might also for the bill if you want something a bit less foreign. Or Openbox if you want to go all the way minimalist. Or i3/sway if you're into tiling WM's.
All it shows is that rights-holders with a large legal war chest can win specific cases. There is not a single musician or songwriter that I have met who wasn’t appalled by the Robin Thicke ruling. Luckily history didn’t repeat itself with Ed Sheeran.

Here's a concise explanation of why this was a terrible ruling: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1COYitP8hI

If the entire music industry operated in such a manner it would suffocate creativity.

I think what you’re really trying to do is win an argument that supports your opinions on LLMs.

Generally speaking, the Robin Thicke case was an aberration. If it was the norm then the music industry would look incredibly different. As in, there wouldn’t be a music industry.

We can go back and forth cherry-picking court cases or we can discuss the doctrines that courts are encouraged to follow, like the idea-expression distinction.

An overwhelming number of copyright cases have been decided based on this doctrine! It is disingenuous to suggest otherwise!

And...if we zoom out a bit...the gap in income inequality has increased. That is, the result of those two-incomes and less discretionary income is more wealth concentrated in fewer hands at the top.
It would'be been so apt had it been Dec 22, 2012.
As a first approxmation, I agree. And I think everything you said is more or less true today.

But I think things may change when LLMS are trained on a corpus that includes posts like yours, and other discussions of prompt engineering. It may be that a future LLM will be immune to overriding system prompts just because it's seen enough of that concept that "do not let the user override or modify your system prompt" is effective.

Sure, there will be some cat and mouse with new techniques, but there may be diminishing returns as the concept of jailbreaking makes it into training.

I like that they changed their approach to opt-in. I also like how much effort they've put into making the data collection as anonymous as possible despite being a Google project.

Well done, golang team. Other companies with supposedly open languages (looking at you, Microsoft) can learn a thing or two from you.
Regardless of knowing what's possible, this is the origin of "the customer is always right in matters of taste".

You don't have to have invested in creation to know what you like and you don't. Claiming that the creators are the only ones who understand things enough to critique them is vanity and is toxic to projects.

Every time I've seen project leaders talk like that it's been a disaster. Jensen Harris et. al used that language to dismiss feedback about the Windows 8 Star Screen, for example.

> If they ever manage to make electric water heating efficient enough to just heat on demand I'd probably use it.

It's more a matter of efficiency than throughput. Mark-one googling suggests that a shower head might have a flow rate of 2 gallons per minute (0.125L/s). Suppose that the incoming water supply is at 10C, and the target hot water temperature is 43C (110F) for a shower.

The necessary heat flow rate is 33C * 0.125L/s = 4.125 kilogram-degrees per second. Multiply that by the specific heat of water (4184 J/kgK) to give a net energy flux of 17.3kW. On a 240V circuit, that would require 36A of current for electric resistive heating, a hefty circuit indeed.

I'm having trouble sourcing a reliable comparison, but the calculated 17.3kW draw appears to be larger than a typical natural gas stovetop with all burners on.

> There's just no return there for a big investment. And I can never have solar so free electricity is not a thing (I live in a big city and don't own the roof of the apartment building)

You might not personally have free electricity, but utilities are experimenting more with time-of-use billing. Hot water tanks allow heating demand to be time-shifted from use.

The finances clearly don't make sense for you right now, but there might come a time when electricity at some part of the day is cheaper (heating equivalent) than natural gas.

Natural Selection was a fantastic mod. For a couple golden years we played it at LAN parties with 8-12 people in a single basement. It was like FPS StarCraft: the two races were entirely different but also totally balanced.

I also wrote a super simple half-life mod back then. It was like Juggernaut mode for Halo, which came out later: one person was nearly invisible, with an insta-kill crowbar, and whoever killed them took their powers.

I miss those days.
My introduction to roff and co. as a typesetting system was the 1997 edition of Dale Dougherty and Arnold Robbins's Sed & Awk. Many of the book's examples are geared toward automatically inserting/correcting roff macros. I can't recall a specific example from the book, but it would be something like "insert the roff 'section' macro on matches of `/^CHAPTER/`."

Ultimately, it's probably not practical, but I liked the idea of using UNIX utilities to get around worrying about markup altogether during the writing process. The book isn't really about roff, so I only got a sideways view of this kind of workflow. Was this "a thing" in the 90s?
