Almost. For some reason the Win95 and Win98 installer needed 75% of the time to go to 99% and 25% of the time to go from 99% to 100%.
I don't know why the "big bang" isn't just thought of as a giant explosion that pushed existing galaxies out of the way.

A few real estate trade websites I quickly googled. The $85 for commercial was “top tier” Manhattan commercial office space (the other tiers ranged to over half off IIRC) and the residential was a general average of inventory in 2022. Certainly for my dissertation I would have cleaner references, but I controlled a bit on the supposition by picking P90 vs avg to give the other side the statistical advantage.

For complex codebases it’s better to use copilot since they do the work of providing context to gpt for you. CopilotX will do a lot more but it’s still waitlist signup. You could hack something together yourself using the API. The quickest option is just to paste the relevant code in to the chat along with your prompt.
> Some people have a lot of utility at hand, and some people who have no utility at all, we can do some stuff so they also can use a tool.

Right, but the point is that we all need the same utility, right? Some people may presently have less utility available, but surely the goal is for the utility to be the same?

> The 2d grid is stored in computer memory. You don't need speech to store it. Speech is just a communication medium. A lot of accessibility is just altering the communication medium. It has columns, rows, things that are described with words. You can index into the grid. It is true that sight is a good thing, but your total refusal to provide features to those with alternate needs is ableist. It doesn't matter if the visual component is the original source and I agree excel couldn't have been created without sight. Clay tablet accounting couldn't be created without sight. Doesn't mean you can't use other senses when something has been created. Why the refusal to share? It's pointless not to share. An ending note: Leonhard Euler was rather productive while blind.

Enough allusions to a nebulous solution that must surely somehow exist. How would you represent Excel to a user that is not sighted? A spreadsheet is not just a table, it's tables within tables. The data is scattered in tables around the sheet and inconsistently surrounded by areas of empty cells, the data is ad-hoc and user created and can not be assumed to have any standard headings or type annotations as many spreadsheets just don't. Unrelated tables may also be adjacent to each other within the sheet. A row of empty cells may be semantically meaningful, or just the space between two different tables. There may or may not be headings or column labels. Any cell may be represented both as a formula and a value. Formulas may refer to any cell both within the sheet and within other sheets in the workbook. It's as truest digital equivalent of unstructured writing with pencil on a blank sheet of paper.

Many of the things that make this a complete accessibility nightmare are the same things that makes it an extremely versatile and high-utility tool for abled people. The complete lack of structure and freedom to invent completely ad-hoc work flows that may or may not resemble structured data is exactly what makes it so incredibly powerful.

My entire point I've been trying to make is that there is an inherent conflict here. Pretending like it doesn't exist doesn't make it go away.

This is a terminology problem the industry is having right now, but I think you're conflating the general concept of 2FA with the specific concept of TOTP-based 2FA. It's not about the open sourceness per se, it's about the fact that a TOTP secret can be shared far and wide, but a push-based 2FA prompt is targeted to a specific device. While this no more than anything else "guarantees" security, it closes down a lot of vectors, especially around TOTP tokens being stolen unknowningly. I'm likely to notice if my device is missing, and while in theory Google's systems can be compromised to redirect the request or duplicate the request or accept false approvals, a lot more of that is under their control, design, and monitoring than a TOTP token out in the wild.

I've never really liked TOTP. Its security characteristics aren't really that far off of a password and I've never been convinced it constitutes a true "second factor" as a result. I notice my password manager even has a slot to store them in now, which kind of further proves my point; if my system for storing "things I know" (as opposed to "things I have" and "things I am") can store both my password and my TOTP token, it rather seems as if I've got two "things I know" and not two separate factors. So I'm not even terribly convinced TOTP should be considered a "second factor" anyhow. The attempt to use it to turn devices into a "thing I have" relies too much on the user which rather defeats the purpose. So I kind of hope to see TOTP to slowly but surely not be even considered 2FA at all, which should help resolve this terminology confusion... eventually, sometime in the next decade or so.
I think it is an awful idea, and it is justifiable to physically destroy those billboards and connected contraptions. In case you where actually serious with your post.

The thing is that tracking sales through advertising is already a solved problem since long ago, since before the internet. What you do is that you give people a discount/promotional code in the ad, that they can give when they make a purchase. Use different codes for different advertising channels. Then for every person who makes a purchase using the code, you will know that they saw that particular advertisement or heard from somebody who saw the advertisement.

With this way you have 0 false positives, you know that somebody using the promotion code did it because of the advertising. You don't have to do any analytics of website visitors, track people, or anything else. There is no uncertainty.

But business owners prefer to play the casino game of low-cost "bets" with ads on social media and Google - hoping that one of them is the right one. Trusting Facebook when they tell them that tens of thousands of people saw the ad but nobody bought. Hmmmm, better throw in another $50 in the ad-casino with some changed parameters.

Online advertising is a scam industry and I hope it gets crushed during this economic depression.
OpenAI launches free ChatGPT app for iOS

I'm a bit surprised by the comments here. Looks like people really find LLM useful for their day to day work. I'm surprised because I (maybe natively) thought the level of hallucinations in these tool was too prohibitive to get real value.

I personally don't mind that Apple bans ChatGPT. The interesting stuff in this news to me is how many people seems to get real value from it. To the point where company invest into getting private instances/versions.

How do you uses these LLM, for what kind of task?

The CVE list would dispute that assertion. There's a reason Microsoft is rewriting parts of the Windows kernel in Rust, and it isn't trendiness or because the kernel is at a trivial level of engineering.

It's the same reason Torvalds refused to have C++ anywhere near the Linux kernel but is not accepting patches in Rust. The advantage of C is its transparency and simplicity, but its safety has always been a thorn in the industry's side.

RiiR has become a bit of a parody of itself, but there is a large grain of truth from where that sentiment was born.

It reduced the space by arbitrary choice. You are just as capable of arbitrarily choosing four numbers as one ratio. I believe in you, though I don’t know you. In fact, I believe you will do a better job in your arbitrary choice of four numbers than in your choice of one scaling factor.

Although the four values from φ are usable, they’re unlikely to be excellent for the purposes of anyone in particular. You can easily choose more suitable, and will if you consider your content and intended design rather than just slapping a number on it.

Former Gentoo user here. The answer for me was NixOS. You still get a ton of control over your system. Packages are even easier to make in many cases. If you want an old version of python you're fine because you can keep the version pinned. Updating my system is done on a git branch so I can revert changes if they break something.

I didn't really want to switch but a combination of factors made it enticing. My SSD died and despite my many attempts at making backups I never had something that was simple enough to get back up and running quickly. There's just far too many things to manage when you're editing a bunch of random files in /etc or your home directory that I couldn't stand to do it again. With NixOS I've already switched machines and it was basically only partitioning that I had to do before I was back into the PC with all my software configured how I like.
This ban law ultimately won’t work.

What's needed is EDUCATION...Cases in point.

The only way to "ban" illicit drugs is through education. Essentially, “don’t do that shit and here is why”.

The only way to "ban" abortion is, similarly, through education. Don’t screw but if you do put a coat on that thing. Make that stuff free.

Social media is no different. Focus on teaching the importance of privacy and mental wellbeing.

This education can and should start in your own household and families. Teach your kids, this ban won't help them.
Even a token fee - refundable to proven works of human authorship - would take care of most spam. The dogmatic response to these and similar suggestions is “under no circumstances will authors ever have to pay to publish” often citing situations such as authors who are too poor to pay a token fee or don’t have access to online payments.
The main compelling reason is that rust is much simpler and easier to use and understand. The “rust is difficult” meme came from people who don’t primarily use c++.

It's pretty common in healthcare data, or at least the kind that deals with breadth of patient data. When trying to build knowledge about a disease by looking at a lot of patients, it's rare to get much useful info from a single source. Re-associating that multi-source data lends itself to a graph. If the company has been around for a little while, even if the customer-facing products don't use a graph database, at some point somebody has certainly tried it. (And once somebody has tried it, it lives forever in some part of the organization.)
That is not what UB means. Undefined Behaviour is behaviour that the compiler is allowed to assume will never happen, and which can consequently cause miscompilations due to optimisation passes gone wrong if it does in fact occur in the source code.

It's true that Rust does not have a written specification that clearly delineates what is and isn't UB in a single place. But:

1. UB is impossible in safe code (modulo bugs in unsafe code)

2. There are resources such as the Rustinomicon (https://doc.rust-lang.org/nomicon/) that provide a detailed guide on what is and isn't allowed in unsafe code.

In practice, it's much easier to avoid UB in Rust than it is in C++.

I feel like users need to be better educated and held accountable.

Would you post proprietary data on Stackoverflow? No. You would formulate a generic question with any IP removed. That’s how we should use public ChatGPT.

So I think there’s an argument for a monitored portal of ChatGPT usage, where you are audited and can get in trouble. Heck even an LLM system itself can help identify proprietary data! Then use that to educated people and hold them accountable.

when they have the ability/authority to "punish" you, you care. You may decide that you care more about your independent spirit than you do their happiness level, but you do care. As someone who stood by their unpopular opinion on principle even though the punishment (a very low grade) blemished an otherwise sterling GPA, I don't think it's possible not to care.

When it's a state who can throw you into a cage and lock the door for extende periods of time, you're going to care. If you don't, I would seriously question your sanity (or honesty).

I turned down an otherwise-attractive offer last year because they wouldn't budge on five days a week in the office. My door-to-door commute there would have amounted to just about 8 hours per week (assuming the subway is running properly, which you can't assume in Boston, but let's for the sake of argument).

I told them that, since the commute would have lengthened my work week by 20%, I'd reconsider if they came up on their offer by 20%. Haven't heard back, I assume they're still thinking about it.

Indeed, and it's interesting to note that this natural desalination process also incorporates long-term storage mechanisms. Historically, vast quantities of freshwater have been stored in the form of snow packs and glaciers. However, in our changing climate, this storage is not occurring at the same scale as it used to. This could potentially exacerbate future water scarcity issues, making man-made desalination techniques even more crucial. As challenging as creating freshwater from saltwater may be, it's a puzzle we need to solve with urgency.
Is there a future where people stop using Stack Overflow, so ChatGPT doesn't have answers to new programming issues and questions to train on, and so it is suddenly blind to generating new useful answers?
Without the answers from SO, ChatGPT quality will decline as well.
Wait 2-4 years for new tech come up, ChatGPT won't have the training data and noone is answering on SO anymore. You would just get wrong answers.
Can somebody explain why is this downvoted? If 53% decline, what do the other 47% do? How about total storage?

Gummy medicine- probably bad around toddlers. Definitely goes for recreational drugs too.
I'm 47 and although currently feeling a little burnt out (I've been here before. I'll be finishing my current contract in a few weeks for a well earned break), I know I love coding and pretty sure I always will having spent the last 40 years coding. I've done a bit of management, led teams etc, and I'm actually pretty good but I can't get excited about it. Maybe in 10 years I'll feel differently but I know I'm still a coder because I want to be not because I fear doing something different.

If you want to change your path and you feel fear then that's probably what you should be doing. A little fear/excitement keeps the motivation.

The good thing about making this about WhatsApp is that UK MPs and most political hangers-on use WhatsApp *extensively*. If opponents point out that government scheming, speaker circuit bookings, fast-track lanes for government contracts, and the like will become more difficult, then maybe MPs will reconsider.

If for-profit LLM's can be trained on the public content of for-profit Q&A sites without paying anything, then there won't be any public content of for-profit Q&A sites.

For-profit Q&A sites will have to either:

* shrink and become non-profit (Wikipedia style)

* fold

> Directly controlling price will always lead to corruption and inefficiencies.

So does allowing monopolies or oligopolies to abuse their position. I mean obviously price controls are not the perfect solution and should only be the last resort but I don't see how forcing a monopoly to share some it's surplus with consumers could have a negative outcome if the price cap is set at such a level that it would not affect actual supply.

> And as you mention, the problem is monopoly and oligopoly, which is insufficient supply of sellers.

In certain markets that's unavoidable. Should we have multiple competing power grids, train/metro tracks, water supply or sewage networks etc? Probably not since that would be very inefficient. In these situations the only reasonable option is price controls (without or without subsides) and I can't think of any other solution.
