yeah my autobiographical memory is like this, but I still remember bugs in software I fixed 20 years ago. I did feel bad about not remembering these things as I thought it was me not paying enough attention to my life, but recently realised that's not really true - was helpful to read that it's a recognised thing (and particularly affects autobiographical memory).

A bit sad, but as you say, I think I live in the moment and I'm generally quite happy. I don't remember many of those cringey and painful things (whereas my partner has well above-average autobiographical memory and is always replacing those cringey moments in her head). I still take photos and enjoy looking at them, to see all the fun stuff I've done :)
> wouldn't want to dumb down my own language for every immigrant around

I think the point is that we have lots of experience doing exactly the thing you say you wouldn't do. And think absolutely nothing of it. It's just what you do, because it's being empathetic and welcoming.
> Unlike many others, I think the game they delivered matched very well to what they demoed.

That's not really enough. If you watch The Fountain, it's pretty much the same as the trailer. But while it's a great trailer, it's a terrible movie. There's an expectation that a demo shows parts of a game, and the finished product will be more and cohesive. Spore really wasn't cohesive, but imagining the parts demoed as a cohesive game was super compelling.

One of a couple lessons from that time that have me pretty much sworn off pre-ordering things. Or at least pre-ordering things without predicting my feelings if the product isn't great and being ok with that (hello Looking Glass Portrait)
On the other hand, this is the most successful multiplayer FPS of all time, you rarely see articles like this, and I can't remember ever seeing an article talking about an exploit like this actually being used.

How many high value targets are installing games on their machines with sensitive data, and connecting to random private servers? Hopefully not enough to justify developing an exploit like this.

This is such a weird answer because on Windows, the default is to simply split out the debug data from the binary. And then, shock horror the technology, serve the right debug data from a (build) server on demand!

In any case, this is an online video game, if you want to have a billion cheaters, feel free to ship debug data (for no reason) with the binary.
Let α and β be the eigenvalues of the matrix A. A satisfies its characteristic polynomial so we have

A^2 - (α + β)A + αβI = 0

If α /= β, define

X = (A - βI)/(α - β)
Y = (A - αI)/(β - α)

which satisfy

X^2 = X
XY = YX = 0
Y^2 = Y

so for k >= 2, X^k = X and Y^k = Y. Hence

A^n = (αX + βY)^n
= α^n X^n + β^n Y^n
= α^n X + β^n Y

On the other hand, if α = β, define

Z = A - αI

which satisfies Z^2 = 0, so Z^k = 0, and

A^n = (αI + Z)^n
= α^n I + n α^(n-1) Z
> As usual with most pro-ChatGPT posts I see, there is little to no actual useful information on how to use ChatGPT practically.

I feel the same way, and my (maybe a bit paranoid) take is that many of those posts are also written by ChatGPT. After all, if someone is excited about the tool, of course they'll also use it as much as possible. In that case it also makes sense that there are never any practical examples since the training data is from pre-GPT times.
I got the Fifine T683. It was one of the cheapest I could find that had a boom arm and a pop screen.

I personally recommend getting something with a boom arm. You can put the mic right up in front of your mouth and move it to sit comfortably. And it takes it off the table so it doesn’t pick up as much table noise.

Someday I might invest in a more expensive option but this was a huge upgrade for me in terms of quality. Beyond this it’s diminishing returns in terms of improvements vs cost. I think something like this is a good starter option.

A headset could probably work but I don’t have any experience with them.

Parquet and data fusion are awesome. Parseable is a good project. Just has logs though. No HA either. They will get there though - I don't know anyone there, but they certainly need to if not there already.

Yes, OpenObserve has a lot more use cases than parseable and our focus on ease of use has allowed us to build far more features and join them in an elegant way making it easier to use it, than any other platform out there.

Give it a shot and let us know what you think.

Cookie cutter bland housing is considerably older than the mid 20th century, we don't see much in the way of old examples because this sort of housing is not meant to last, it is meant to meet a need. Most of the mid century stuff is considerably nicer than what came before, like the tenements of New York and various housing projects built around the country including large developments of single family homes with spartan interiors and all. We needed houses and we needed them fast, a single model with few frills was the only way to meet the need at that time.
Yea, the AI gives out all the stuff in the middle of the standard-normal distribution. For everything.

What "special munitions"?

Stephen Paddock used a "bump stock" on otherwise stock off-the-shelf rifles. The same could be done with almost any semiautomatic rifle:

> Second is just how things work, the function is a closure that evaluates the non local variable when you run it.

In python, yes. In other languages, not necessarily. There are two ways that this could reasonably not be the result:

1. For i in iterator could create a new variable i (shadowing the old i) on each iteration of the loop. This isn't how python works (which also means you can do things like access i after a for loop terminates) but there are languages that work that way.

2. Capturing an integer could copy that integer, instead of copying a pointer to a value that can change in the future. Again, not how python works, but how some languages work.

The first in particular I think is more intuitive in other languages, and leads to other footguns in python as well, e.g.:

for i in range(5):
for i in range(10):
pass
print("Finished loop iteration", i) # I meant 0, 1, 2, 3, 4. Instead I got 9 9 9 9 9
> HDD will die at any time and without warnings is many times higher than for any tape drive

It's same most of the time and LTO drive dies if you have at least any amount of dust while HDD doesn't give a fuck

> but you also lose data, which may be priceless

No difference if you sat on the tape with yours only one copy of your favourite porn.

And if you only have one copy of data then it doesn't really matter on which media it resides.

And oh, you CAN write the same data to two HDDs simultaneously with mirroring or just having a two copy jobs to a two separate hard drives, which would not only give you a physical separation but logical as well. For you to do the same with the tape - shell another $3000.

> Changing your mind is hard because it’s easier to fool yourself into believing a falsehood than admit a mistake.

Different angle: it's not simply "fooling" oneself, but it's because ideas are one way or another built on top of an ideological foundation.

Einstein rejecting quantum theory on the basis the universe shouldn't have a random component to it is also rejecting the idea of having to re-examine all philosophy past Descartes and Newton, which aligned so well with society's viewpoint at the time - a deterministic, cause-consequence universe, where things have logical explanations and where hard work is rewarded.
I've gotten pretty good at getting ChatGPT to do what I want. I wrote about it here, https://zchry.org/words/building-a-brand-identity-with-code, but that's probably still light on details for you.

There really isn't any magic bullet I don't think, every case is unique and involves a lot of trial and error. The original prompt was something as simple as "You're going to help me build a plugin for figma that draws Lissajous Curves". It starts with telling you how to setup the Figma plugin folder structure (which Figma makes super easy), installing all the dependencies / npm etc. From there, it was just a lot of going back and forth with ChatGPT fixing the bugs until it compiled cleanly (files we worked with: code.ts, manifest.json, tsconfig.json, ui.html), then going through the bugs that would be thrown in the app console when you actually ran the plugin.

Eventually though, everything worked great and Figma even approved the plugin to be published publicly.

My best piece of advice is that when I feel really far off where I want to be, I just start over from scratch and rework my prompts to more accurately guide ChatGPT in what I want.

And lastly, now that I have a basic "baseline" of how I want ChatGPT to help me with these plugins, I give it all that information up front and try it keep it in that predefined scope.
Sid Meier learned that lesson, though the game he learned it in (Covert Action) remains one of my all-time favorites, up there with XCOM: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sid_Meier%27s_Covert_Action#De...

> The mistake I think I made in Covert Action is actually having two games in there kind of competing with each other. There was kind of an action game where you break into a building and do all sorts of picking up clues and things like that, and then there was the story which involved a plot where you had to figure out who the mastermind was and the different roles and what cities they were in, and it was a kind of an involved mystery-type plot. ... In Pirates!, you would do a sword fight or a ship battle, and a minute or two later, you were kind of back on your way. In Covert Action, you'd spend ten minutes or so of real time in a mission, and by the time you got out of [the mission], you had no idea of what was going on in the world.

> So I call it the "Covert Action Rule". Don't try to do too many games in one package. And that's actually done me a lot of good. You can look at the games I've done since Civilization, and there's always opportunities to throw in more stuff. When two units get together in Civilization and have a battle, why don't we drop out to a war game and spend ten minutes or so in duking out this battle? Well, the Covert Action Rule. Focus on what the game is.
I don't think building applications around it is a good idea. You might face the same problems Reddit developers are facing right now with Reddit's API.

What happens if OpenAI decides to increase the price on you? Now you are losing massive amounts of money and have no where to go.

What if OpenAI decides they don't like how your company is operating and bans you from using OpenAI APIs. Where do you go?

What happens if OpenAI changes their model over night and now you are getting bad responses from your prompt. What do you do?

What happens if OpenAI's API goes down?

Unlike most services you use to build application there is no alternatives to OpenAI's API. You can't simply switch to another LLM API and expect the same results.

> If someone is driving, it’s not because they just didn’t even consider taking public transit.

And in the process, they are polluting the air, making busses run more slowly, and (on average across the population) killing pedestrians. On an individual level, this person may indeed have concluded that driving is better for them than taking public transit. For society at large, however, public transit is almost always the better choice.

By making driving in Manhattan more painful for individuals, we bring it in line with the real cost for society.

Consumer Reports claims PHEVs are very reliable.
In my opinion by implementing git without history and linking to binaries is just a reinvention of phpBB [1] which already has powerful moderation capabilities, a very advanced permissions systems and file storage that has been battle hardened for a couple decades. The UI can be made to look modern using modular styles and by uploading modern emoji which phpBB already supports. The most work would be working on a style to make it look modern.

phpBB can use Postgres or MySQL for the metadata and it links to file storage for attachments. There is also a very advanced permissions system with limits per file type. If the site grew big enough the file storage could be scaled with Ceph.

The only thing they leave out is some tuning/hardening of php.ini disabling unused classes and functions [2] and implementing good outbound firewall rules to mitigate most 0-day's. Those are fairly straight forward to implement.

> It sounds like you're assuming diagonalizability, which is stronger than "eigen values defined over the field".

> Even over the complex numbers there are matrices that aren't diagonalizable, like [[2,1],[0,2]].

While that's completely true, and I'm glad someone said it, it's not much of an issue for 2×2 matrices. You can tell quickly when it's happened, because the characteristic polynomial is a square (itself easily tested by computing the gcd with the derivative … or just because it's easy to recognize when a quadratic is a perfect square) but the matrix isn't scalar; and then we have that the semisimple part S is scalar, the nilpotent part N satisfies N^2 = 0, and so (S + N)^n equals S^n + n S N^{n - 1} for n > 1.
Yes GPT4 is marginally better, no it doesn't significantly change its usefulness for software development. It still misunderstands questions and tasks, it still forgets or ignores constraints almost immediately, it still uses libraries that don't exist, it still generates tons of plausible-sounding but ultimately flawed code that wastes more time than it saves (unless you couldn't code your way out of a wet paper bag to begin with).

It makes for a decent rubber duck and it can aid you in exploring the space of unknown unknowns when approaching a new subject, but that's about it in my experience.

I always like to think of EMs as engineers who rely on other people to write code, instead of writing code directly themselves. As anyone who has played a game of telephone can attest, writing code through people is a lot harder than writing it yourself.
Sorry I am a bit lost here: What‘s the interest you pressume I (should) have and act against?

I‘d only care about it to the degree it impacts me: I do not want to die as part of the 99% and I do not want the amount of potential lovers to be reduced.

> Firefox -- Title irrelevant, there's a million tabs

Far from irrelevant, the title is how you keep apart all those tabs. Of course this more or less implies you use some vertical organisation feature - whether that be the built-in tab list, an extension like Grasshopper to present them as a vertical menu or something in the line of Tree Style Tabs using the sidebar - to be able to actually read the title. I have Grasshopper under the F1 key which makes tab switching painless: hit F1 and start typing part of the title and the selection is limited to whatever matches the typed text. If there is only one hit just hit enter, otherwise use the cursor keys to move to the required tab ad hit enter. No mouse needed but it can be used if so desired.

Brace yourself for the yearly Cannes Lions Archive update.
Small update, this is giving me the excuse i needed to look into ActivityPub. I'm rolling my own implementation from the ground up, though more as an exploration into ActivityPub and to experiment with UX.

I realized the beauty here is that i don't need to replace Lemmy, Kbin, etc. I can lean into them, and even if i don't gain traction (i probably don't want it anyway. Managing large projects are unfun), i still get to be part of the larger ecosystem.

Ie, why write a Client to Lemmy as you might with Reddit, when you can instead write a participating Server which also serves as a Client. Federation is neat like that.

Though i'm still unclear on a lot of steps with federation, so we'll see how this goes.

> A less formula driven approach that I expected this to use is just eigenvalue decompose the matrix (with complex eigenvalues that always exists) then raise each eigenvalue to the power you want and then combine the eigenvectors and eigenvalues together again to get the Nth power.

That's actually what's happening here for the distinct-eigenvalues case: (A - \beta I)/(\alpha - \beta) is the projection on the \alpha-eigenspace, where A^n acts by \alpha^n, with kernel the \beta-eigenspace; and similarly with \alpha and \beta switched. In general, pursuing this same line of attack underlies the proof that the semisimple part of A can be written as a polynomial in A. (Sadly, the polynomial itself depends on A, so this is probably more usefully stated as that the semisimple part of A lies in k[A] if k is perfect.)
If the military was indeed involved, then it seems highly plausible that they would have been able to keep communications under control and that they would be able to repress a few dozen workers. Threats against them and their families would probably work pretty well.
Other than using the same social media no other example you gave is accurate in my experience. Is it possible that you are stuck in a bubble of people of similar age, from the same country with similar profession?
I think banning all would be really hard to pull off (what if company owner dies/retires ? What if it is acquisition vs letting people go and bankrupcy?), but I'd very much like to see much stricter policies, especially on markets dominated by few big players already.

Incredibly "cool"! The physical-chip-swapping version of the cold-boot attack is extremely general, but it's always been very labor intensive—that's why automation like this could be a game changer.

I feel like I'm living in a different world than you man. I'm listening to music that basically no one else listens to. I'm in communities that very few other people know about. I see subcultures all over the place with vibrant and hilariously distinct traits to them.

And I think this is a result of the opposite of what you're thinking. The subcultures you used to see were one of maybe a dozen. It was easy to see them and notice them because they were quite large and you couldn't miss them very easily.

Nowadays, the subcultures are so diverse broad and specific that you really just will never hear about them if you don't go looking for them

Goes for the musical artists. Do you want unique and distinct music? Go online, search for random off the wall genres, and you're going to find little vibrant community surrounding them.

Also, you can flip that Mark Fisher perspective around: the 20th century fetishization of "something that has never been done" now kind of seems like a quaint pre-information era fallacy. We now know that everything's a remix. We know the simpsons did it. We know the grand narrative has always been an illusion, whether govt funded or simply based on a lack of access to other schools of thought. Maybe you need to stop fetishizing this obsolete mode of cultural production in order to recognize the historically unprecedented scale of ideas completely alien to you own experience that are currently all around you. Honestly we are so spoiled.

I think it has to be heated other than that I'm not sure.

But my point being its storage and stability as a solid material unlike liquefied hydrogen which may cause embrittlement of its container.

A solid material, heat to release H, send it through a fuel cell. At some point maybe that method will become a type of battery.

I get people like batteries and they are very efficient but there seems to be such weird hostility at the mere mention of hydrogen. It's bizarre. It has its uses especially for the ability to store a powerful energy source.
