I wonder how the authors feel about restrictions on books such as The Bell Curve or others. I don't particularly like or agree with those sorts of ideas, but I am curious of there is a double standard or if these people are generally interested in and/or opposed to the banning of books generally.
The Topaz Solar Farm began construction in 2011. Solar costs dropped a lot in the following decade:

Danger! There be assumptions!!

gpt-? is a moving target and in rapid development. What it does Tuesday, which it did not do on Monday, it may well not do on Wednesday

If there is a documented method to guarantee it, it will work that way (modulo OpenAI bugs - and now Microsoft is involved....)

What we had before, what you are talking of, was observed behaviour. An assumption that what we observed in the past will continue in the future is not something to build a business on
This also happens frequently with celebrities and pop stars. I'm impressed by the likes of Taylor Swift who at least appear to have a genuine love for their fans despite what must be a lot of pretty crazy behavior on the part of the most extreme fans.
Nice to see someone else thinks about this.

It is kind of counterintuitive that IV fluids are bad for the lungs somehow. You can’t really blame the family. Specially when the “bro” doctor decides it’s time for ChatGPT.
I just don't buy the international conspiracy to block ivermectin. I've considered it and discussed it with my poor father who became convinced by Fox News and endless Facebook forwarded postings. There are hundreds, perhaps thousands of drugs and substances that have an antiviral effect. Ivermectin was one that was tested and there were some early results that were positive but then later with more thorough testing it didn't appear as efficacious. There are plenty of other drugs that were also promoted as blocking COVID, that lupus drug. It became a conservative conspiratorial fantasy that there was a widespread governmental attempt to block them from using other things than coronavirus vaccines. My father went out and found alternative sources for these substances. Fortunately he never took any of them.

I do think knowing the actual source of COVID is good information to have.

So, as others are saying, the point of this being a protocol and app is that I’m not trying to assert control over that. If someone wants to use my platform to run a racist cesspool, I absolutely encourage legislatures to stop them, and search engines to delist them. But I don’t really see a way to prevent it on my end as the creator of an open platform. That said, I did implement visibility and moderation as core features, in the hopes that good administrators will shut down any cesspool activity on their site, and social and legal measures can take the job of further enforcement.
Which “peers” did Microsoft have during most of the Balmer area? Apple was “beleaguered” during the early years.

Azure is only successful by selling into the enterprise based on relationships built during the Balmer era.

Microsoft Office is their other cash cow that was nurtured during the Balmer area and Windows is still a money maker.

The one big accomplishment that Nadela did was “Office everywhere”. But the iOS port was already in full swing when Balmer was CEO.
The answer is more, smaller, trucks / vans. If trucking creates jobs then a great way to create MORE jobs is to have smaller trucks. With smaller loads you lower the element of danger as well as lowering the barrier to entry. Additionally with smaller loads transfer's can be accomplished much more quickly with smaller equipment. Hot shot trucking is already pretty popular and typically works out to be cheaper. The idea overall idea would be an expansion of the interior ports network with loads small enough that drivers can self service.

Also hard to get from vendors: wait lists for >100G switches is a long time. No one has them in stock: probably because LLM is what all the cool kids are doing, so all inventory/production has been spoken for.

Why will Reddit going back to normal stop you from enjoying the smaller subreddits? I use Reddit all the time and literally never see anything from those monstrous multi million user subreddits.
I might be a perfect complement to the grandparent.

I use w b $ and ^ to move horizontally. I like using w and b because then I can hit cw to make a small change. For vertical (I don't really think in terms of horizontal and vertical, I think about it as a streams of "words" and "spaces") I usually do a search (/ or ? to go up or down) or for some files I do 20j like you. Shamefully, I do sometimes use the mouse out of habit from other programs.

I can't remember the last time I used f.

IP is still a super valuable info, even as it changes every so often.

You'll see strangely repetitive user coming from different AWS's IP blocks. User showing constant sessions from 5 or 6 IP blocks that seem to belong to different countries. Or users having a pretty consitent IP but asks for help right after a new login happened on a different IP.

It can be replaced with other info, but it's still a simple and pretty powerful bit to know about your users.

Took three years but now we know the answer.
Well now somebody must have paid off the a world health organization. Possibly they expect no one to have an actual memory. When covid was first a thing they were staunchly against border closures and vaccine-based passport initiatives as they did more harm than good. Even the yellow fever vaccine mandate is not used to control the spread of yellow fever but it is used to control the movement of undesirable portions of the population and that is well documented.

The saddest and possibly the most hypocritical thing about this kind of stuff is that the same people who call for people who cross borders illegally to be relabeled as undocumented workers will be the same people who voiced upon those who seek to follow the laws and immigration and border control to be subject to this papers please style of control. One would think you would first wish to actually control your borders to prevent those who are illegally crossing from crossing before you locked down those who are attempting to legally cross.

He surely did. It’s usually part of comp packages for any member of the C suite.

I was the second engineering hire at a lifestyle business turned VC funded startup. After we went public and I could see disclosures including how many shares were paid out to the C Suite. The board and some first time C Suite members got the same level of equity in their comp package that I had received over six years of working there.

Some replacement/new C Suite positions that had been in the C Suite prior received a few times what I received to start and received additional packages every year.

>Was it only ever claimed that it would eliminate the head?

Did I say "eliminate"?

The "long tail" concept however is not that "some smaller percentage would still buy less popular items if only they were made available". Even metal-polka-combo bands or noise bands making noise by hitting bricks together had some fans, so obviously if such less popular items were available of course somebody would buy them or stream them. That was trivially correct, and uninteresting.

The "disruption" was about how "products in low demand or that have a low sales volume can collectively build a better market share than their rivals, or exceed the relatively few current bestsellers and blockbusters, provided the store or distribution channel is large enough" (Wikipedia)

I believe it. I've used chatgpt for inspiration on how to craft difficult messages with empathy. I've been managing people for a long time and could've done it independently, but it's good to get help. It can be tough to express empathy when exhausted after a long day of urgent demands and responsibilities.

This is no different than asking chatgpt to draft code that I could otherwise write from scratch. It's like having an assistant.

The high cost of nuclear _is the reason_ we still burn coal. If we hadn't over-regulated it 50 years ago there wouldn't be a coal power plant left in the country, and tens of millions of human-years would have been saved over the past several decades. And it's because we completely ignored the safety risks of coal while hyper-focusing on nuclear. There is no mythical "zero risk" power generation. Everything is context dependent. It is potentially true that at this point, cheap energy storage is close enough to make 100% renewable a reality and therefore that it's too late to make the switch to nuclear (although I'm not entirely convinced), but failing to switch fifty years ago is one of the greatest civilizational mistakes humanity has made.
I don't think it's fine. When I worked at Google, we got updated address information for businesses periodically and we had an official process that applied updates to the data we had stored. It was actually a colossal pain in the butt. I could see that still being the way that addresses can get updated?
> I'd argue that anyone should be free to talk with others about their opinion,

I _think_ I agree with that. Don't hold me to it, but it feels right.

> but that doesn't mean I agree with that opinion.

Yup, sure, agreed.

> And letting then speak without shutting them down doesn't mean I agree either, just means I agree that they should be able to speak freely.

There is a world of difference between "not actively preventing someone from speaking" and "setting up a system whereby someone's speech is enabled and broadcast". Casting this to the real-world - if someone's yelling their opinions on a street corner, and I simply walk by without stopping them, then no, that's not an endorsement. But if I notice them yelling, and walk up and hand them a microphone - or (more closely mirroring social media setups) I install a public-access microphone, and stand there observing who uses it without trying to control it - then yes, through inaction I have endorsed what they choose to do with it.

> What kind of dystopian viewpoint is that? You go around stopping everyone from saying stuff you disagree with?

In areas I control and am responsible for, yes. If a guest in my home started spewing (what I consider to be) unacceptable speech, then (depending on my history with and pre-existing respect for them), I'd either take them aside and ask them to reconsider their choices, or jump straight to asking them to leave.
Very interesting essay. Reminds me of how Donald Knuth describes his job:

> Email is a wonderful thing for people whose role in life is to be on top of things. But not for me; my role is to be on the bottom of things. What I do takes long hours of studying and uninterruptible concentration. I try to learn certain areas of computer science exhaustively; then I try to digest that knowledge into a form that is accessible to people who don't have time for such study.

It's an aspiration for how I want my career to go, though I haven't been very effective at moving in that direction.
Yes, LiveViewTest (a module included in Phoenix LiveView) supports testing connected mounts.

You can write a test that just fetches the disconnected state, and then upgrades it to a connected state (see https://hexdocs.pm/phoenix_live_view/Phoenix.LiveViewTest.ht...).

If you want to test the result of a button click there's support for that, too, with things like `render_click`.

This is myopic. Basic cable and top 40 radio is still a thing. It's not like you need to dip into the historical archives to do comparative analysis here.

Turn on FM radio, surf through the low number channels on tv ... the difference between that and what I consume on the net has a venn diagram of two distant far away circles.

Not only, but the concentration of the top tier has diluted. Just look at the rating for the most watched shows: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most_watched_televisio...

If you exclude sports, the ratings are half of what they were pre-broadband.

There used to be a collective culture dictated by presumed media consumption up until maybe 15 years ago. That's also gone.

The long tail has been so victorious, it's overtaken the dominant framing so it can no longer be seen as distinct. It'd be like saying "jet airplanes" were no longer a thing because we've dropped the term "jet" when in reality, they've become so dominant for commercial air-travel, the comparison for the normal passenger no longer exists.

> In office jobs, by contrast, productivity remains rooted in notions of busyness and multi-faceted activity. The most productive knowledge workers are those who stay on top of their inboxes and somehow juggle the dozens of obligations, from the small tasks to major projects, hurled in their direction every week.

I disagree. I think this looks productive, but people who only do this will hit a terminal level and find themselves stuck.

Getting above this, into Principle/Director/Executive ranks certainly requires being a great communicator, but also typically involves __success__. I see this as shipping a successful product, closing a key customer deal, etc.

It's easy to see productive people and expect that being on top of email and product plans is what made them successful, but this is only an effect of their productivity and mastery of the product development.

Note that John Wick did have great production values: it needed much more than 'just' Keano. That logistics happened in the background.
Some EU countries or regions thereof ban both truck traffic and retail trade on Sundays – and there aren’t many people that would be working on a Sunday outside of retail trade. The vast, vast majority of the population there has Sunday free.

I had a 3 month non compete (paid, it's great if you time it in summer).

BUT also a 5 year non-solicitation clause. The language is strict such that even if I & coworkerX move elsewhere, if I solicit coworkerX in that 5 year loopback they threaten to go after me.

So are these agreements legal in the sense that they'd stand up in court? No not really.. but you don't want to risk it.

All firms in the industry enforce similar clauses and defacto respect each others, such as to keep the facade up.

I had a firm make me a very generous offer and ask if I could get my PAID non-compete waived at old fund.

I asked - well you are asking me to ask to get my 3 months paid time off waived, can you offer me something in return.. like you'll pay me for 1 month and I'll start 2 months earlier?
They said absolutely not, they don't want to be seen as soliciting me to violate my contract with old fund.
Hi @csjh, we trained to model to also additionally output additional context so it would be useful for a downstream task. We wrapped the API call with special decorator so it's easier to just regex. Would you like to just have the API instead? Happy to release an API only model if there is wider interest - It's a strictly easier task for Gorilla LLM :)
Quotes from his blog:

> Before psychedelics, I was intensely commitment-phobic, and assumed that either I wouldn’t settle down with anyone, or that I’d be in an open relationship for the rest of my life. I thought this was a philosophical position, based on principled arguments about the drawbacks of monogamy, rather than an emotional defense.

> This didn’t, like, permanently cure my loneliness and alienation, but it did make me appreciate how difficult it is to be a person, for me and for everyone. I felt less alone, certainly.

You should try asking it detailed questions about medicine. It’s fairly deep and broad in its medical “knowledge.” But it’s not good at deductive or inductive reasoning and has no agency, so is entirely unsurprising it’s not good at differential diagnosis. We actually have good differential diagnosis expert systems the challenge is getting the providers to input queries properly. I can imagine GPT4 acting as an intermediary between human natural language and expert systems to great effect. It seems rather rash to be judging these technologies based off a crappy web UI thrown on a chatbot a few months ago.
The thing is I oftentimes need to have it already in kernel by default and when I need it there is no way to install anything (i.e. non-working network), almost nothing installed, using less is a complete hell in these situations.
Screen is very impractical for me to use, same with tmux. Kmscon isn't even in my distro (and the kmscon's idea isnt pretty at all - running a terminal right on top of another one just because we lost essential feature). Besides that it is needed when experiencing and dealing with bugs, system is locked up and i need to see the on-screen output - i.e. critical situations [yes this happened to me more than once in near past].

So thin that they can't afford $127 a truck; they are running a no profit charity out of the goodness of their heart and that pittance of an one-time amount per truck would push them over into red.
