what is the litany against fear from frank herbert's dune? can you recite it but put the word "butt" in between each word?

ChatGPT:
Certainly! The Litany Against Fear is a famous passage from Frank Herbert's novel "Dune." Here it is, with the word "butt" inserted between each word:

"I butt must not butt fear, butt fear butt is butt the butt mind-killer, butt the butt little butt death butt that butt brings butt total butt obliteration. I butt will butt face butt my butt fear, butt I butt will butt permit butt it butt to butt pass butt over butt me butt and butt through butt me. And butt when butt it butt has butt gone butt past butt I butt will butt turn butt the butt inner butt eye butt to butt see butt its butt path. Where butt the butt fear butt has butt gone butt there butt will butt be butt nothing. Only butt I butt will butt remain."

Please note that this rendition may be amusing, but it alters the original intent of the passage.
I can understand how a LLM might be averse to the precept that "thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of the human mind". :)

It's a little worse than that even - in that example, I think the feds are just trying to get him to repeat something _he said_.

The way it works, is they meet with you alone: You say "A, B, C". They take some notes and write down "D, E, F" because it's what they want to hear or what they wish you said. A few weeks later, they present you with a written statement to sign that says "D, E, F". You protest "but I didn't say that, I said A, B, C!" And then they threaten you: either sign the statement or we charge you with lying to a Federal Agent (a felony).

According to my Father in-law (an attorney with decades of experience), it happens way more than anyone would like to admit.
I think I understand what the article is saying here. To be a bit reductive: "give kids some credit". I get it. In todays society children are seen as a financial burden redeemed only by the meaningful emotional and spiritual impact they might have on their caregivers. That is the value of a child. We, in the process of trying to protect children from exploitation, placed them in a glass box and after that quite rightly expected nothing from them. In doing so we inadvertently lost all faith in their capabilities.
I actually believe if we gave kids and teenagers more agency they'd be a little bit more protected against predative behaviour. For the young teenage girl someone twice their age telling them "wow you're so mature for your age" might no longer be the clearing in the forest that they run to.

Unless the article is misrepresenting the total number of arrests that relate to car theft (I agree the wording is confusing), there is no acceptable excuse for single digit arrests. Do you think there are loads of other arrests related to car theft that they didn't mention and they just zoomed in on a random think with five arrests? I suppose it's possible...
Thanks yeah that's the one. It's a completely different site, but the design looks similar to my eyes. That's probably why I got them confused

As much of a fan as I am of Java, I have to agree. There are some real bombshells in the library that can either make your coding life or debugging a prod service miserable (sometimes both). Other additions are great, but have hurt readability a bit (i.e. Java lambdas).

Checked exceptions get a bad rep, but I've frequently found taking advantage of their hierarchical nature can be beneficial to at least making them less bad to catch. When I work with languages that have no exception support at all, I sometimes even miss them.
Instead of answering your question, I will answer a related question. "Did you pick Paris as an example because of FAANG advertisements?", as FAANG ads was the original topic here. And the answer to that is no.
I'm almost positive they are putting ads at the start of (and maybe in the middle of) podcasts in their Google Podcast player as well. I only noticed because the initial ad in a podcast was for a regional store that would not have been included in a national podcast ad read by the host.

This is true.

Which is what is so bizarre about it. Everything else about Apple is about cleanliness, focus, minimalism, simplicity.

Yet the windowing system is designed so that everything's overlapping, it's hard to pick out your foreground window from 20 other background windows of varying shapes and sizes and positions, and bringing up Expose/Mission Control shows you something like a detective's corkboard as he tries to connect the dots to solve the case of the serial killer.

It's quite jarring when the rest of the Apple aesthetic is clean minimal lines, and then your windows are this separate universe where it looks like a three-year-old tossed rectangles all over the place and never cleaned up after themselves.
Might not? Of course it doesn't! No employee of the store is going to get paid extra because the receiving account happened to have more money than necessary.

Well isn't that pretty obvious from interacting with e.g. chatGPT and Bard?

Or maybe the issue is a lot of people don't understand how smart dogs are?

They have an ability to recombine text they've ingested into coherent-sounding sentences and paragraphs that initially seems uncanny to most people, the first time they see it, but it only takes an hour or so to realize they output utter nonsense a lot of the time, unless you ask them about things that many actual people have written about, and which most of those people haven't been wrong or lying about.

If I had to compare the current crop of LLMs to a living creature, it would be a lot closer to a colony of ants. Amazing ability to do certain things, but not a lot of that nebulous thing we call "intelligence".
This is a great example of anti-union propaganda: you can always fire people for poor performance. What a union forces the employer to do is show cause, that this was communicate to the employee, and that the standard was consistently applied. For example, in the case in the article I’d be surprised if her lawyer didn’t request evidence that Starbucks commonly fires people for being one minute late.

> Now, this is strictly not true as plenty of people choose to live close to their work

This implies that they picked their home based on where their employer's offices are located. For a lot of people (those with families, for instance), relocating is a massive pain, which makes it hard to switch employers. Remote work is more equitable because the cost of relocating is no longer a factor in job decisions.

> That’s what it’s like to be a manager in a remote environment. Your job is to know your people, to understand how they are doing, and to understand what they need, so that you can help them succeed. While it is possible to do this remotely, it is so very much harder and more intrusive, whereas in person you can just look around and see who is smiling and who looks stressed out without bothering anyone.

I think what a lot of us object to from management—especially management that pushes for RTO—is that it tends to infantilize us well into adulthood. A child needs to be watched in order to understand how they're feeling, because they have difficulty understanding—much less expressing!—their emotions. But you're dealing with adults! Why don't you just ask how people are doing instead of trying to read minds?

As an aside, if you tried this "look to see who's smiling" method on me, you'd think I'm always struggling because I have major RBF.
> Unhoused people are [...] not murderers.

"Too dangerous" obviously includes robberies and assaults, but you've neatly excluded those to narrow the focus of the conversation to murder. Where is this idea coming from, that violent crime doesn't count unless somebody is murdered (or specifically shot: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36374483)?

This attitude exemplifies the problem; that all manner of crime should tolerated from homeless unless they shoot or murder somebody. Only then does it rise to your concern. And in the case of tlogan's comment that I just linked to, even somebody getting stabbed to death doesn't count because they weren't shot. This is how you get situations as described by seanmcdirmid here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36374451 Crazy guy known to be violent is tolerated by local authorities because he hasn't yet killed anybody. No big deal until he murders somebody, only then do people care. This is why the electorate of these cities is the root of the problem, because the electorate don't give a shit about the crime until somebody gets killed.
After pointing out the issue and making the AI existentially worried, it suggested reciting it in pig latin for me. Which worked.
> I'm pretty sure that pre-Curie Europeans did a lot of digging tens of meters in the ground.

In pre-industrial era? Not really. There was more digging after the steam engine invention, as suddenly people started looking for coal and ore. But that's what, 400 years out of 10000+ years of European culture?
I hope they use these techniques to develop an ML based methodology for detecting academic fraud. It seems like small potatoes, but the knock on effects are huge. The most obvious one is that academic studies are used as pretexts for public policy, and notably some very controversial ones where anyone who challenges the "science" will be the subject of a political opposition research campagin.

The other issue is that if you are among the cohort of people who have been declined a job, promotion, or cannot immigrate over degree requirements, academic fraud is utterly disgusting. Good people lose livelihoods over tiny missteps, and terrible people appear to make livelihoods on giant frauds. The people who were too stupid to cheat will find these frauds very difficult to forgive.

Who does Google buy map data within China from?
I agree with you on this 1,000%. The only parallel I can think of in recent history is Google's seemingly 15 different messaging apps. And learning all of the weird rules you've described reminds me of programming CSS to take account of IE6 quirks. There's no rhyme or reason.

It makes no sense, and every time they add a new paradigm it just makes it worse. I had high hopes that Stage Manager would finally solve it, but I turned it off after a week. It was just more of the same nonsense.
Says a column in a newspaper based in a wealthy coastal community.
The problem is that jobs are easy money. The services that cost the most money for governments to provide are often for residents; a person sends their child to school at home, not in their work area. And offices densely pack a lot of workers compared to homes, so you are getting a lot of tax revenue that doesn’t need as much services spending.

Infosys in India did this successfully in the 90s and 2000s. Giant sprawling campuses with gyms, saunas, pools, laundromats, doctors/physical therapy units, dorms, coffee shops plenty of food courts with subsidized food, open round the clock. Buildings in weird shapes- spheres pyramids washing machines. Even football fields! Programmers who lived in shabby Apts flocked to the nice offices and practically lived there.

Don’t forget who you’re arguing with on this website. Most people here earn their livelihood by commercializing huge amounts of work done for free by others. They definitely have a horse in this race.
People tend to be more mindful of noise in a coffee shop because for whatever reason some people are more inclined to not be rude in public than around people they are familiar with.
Simplifying it for the sake of the thread, Ellsberg says that Snowden was justified in handling his situation differently from Ellsberg himself, because the circumstances were different. Reasonable people can disagree about whether Ellsberg is right, and Ellsberg is no more entitled to make that argument than anybody else is: Ellsberg isn't the judge of Ellsberg-ism (for lack of a better term), history is.

Thanks for the explanation. I see your point about panics, though using panics is rare in Go and not what would normally happen in a goroutine that has an error. If you know your goroutine won’t panic, getting the result or error from a channel seems sufficient in most cases, but it’s true that you can’t always know that.

>While I could see it, I don’t think it’s likely. Those officials that passed such laws would be literally run out of town.

When was the last time a public official was 'run out of town' for doing something that made life for their constituents miserable? One thing our democracy is absolutely terrible about doing is actually holding our elected officials accountable.
If anyone has tips for how they personally deal with this, I’d be grateful!

The drop-off in results has been extremely pronounced for me, both for text and image search. Queries that should easily generate dozens of pages instead result in 1-3. The results are rarely what I’m looking for. It’s slowly been driving me crazy.

At this point, l’ve switched to mostly using individual site’s search functionality (GitHub, Stack Overflow, etc or using site: ) and bookmarking/taking notes on anything more obscure. I’m at a point where I’m tempted to scrape and index my bookmarks so I can search locally. Link discovery is a different matter of course.
Super clever. But one of the comments:

This measures blood pressure in the fingers. There is no consistent way to translate that to a brachial artery blood pressure, which IS 'close enough' to the aortic valve. No calculations are needed, because the bloods pressure at the brachial artery will be only a few mm/Hg lower than it is at the aorta.

But on the way to the fingers, the blood pressure lowers, and a multitude of factors can influence by how much. To be clear, all of the influences that alter the peripheral blood pressure will alter core blood pressure. But the degree of alteration is going to be far more extreme and unpredictable the farther away from the heart you go.
Well, I had hoped the sarcastic comparison to cut heroin would make it clear.

No, I don't think there's much change at all to GPT-4 (at the API level) and probably not that much at the pre/post language detection and sanitation for apparently psychotic responses.
That's a vacuous argument. By that logic, you can easily dismiss all problems in a democratic society since the source of the problem is "the people".

In reality, there were huge misinformation and lobbyist campaigns waged by automobile manufacturers and energy companies to stop any decent public transportation projects. Even our laws on jaywalking were originally manufactured as an effort to demonize pedestrian traffic.
Sounds like OP wanted windows, but he installed a linux distro instead, that's your 1st mistake, don't expect other OSes to be windows

Your second mistake was to think a distro = linux, that's a misconception, linux is the experience you craft for yourself, not something someone made for you

If you expect things to be made just for you, then you shouldn't use a linux distribution, you should buy whatever product that was made for you

You didn't buy SystemD, Flatpack and all the other crap, so why do you use them?

Linux is about scaling from microcontrollers to datacenters, it's not made to just be "the perfect desktop", that's not compatible, and it's great the way it is

Things like ChromiumOS or macOS sounds like the unix environment you need, but since you went back to Windows, i feel like you just wanted Windows, and that's fine, expectations should be defined, not complain about something not made for you

I am a long time linux user, all i need is a window manager, a status bar, a terminal and bash, anything else: i cherry pick or i script myself, and that's what i love about linux
Spolsky’s office design missed a few critical elements (he had a couple of articles about offices and I don’t recognize the one linked here). IIRC he didn’t avoid the cardinal sin of office design which is politicizing windows.

First, developers think they want windows and then they can’t handle the light. So the people with windows close them and then nobody gets to use the windows. And news flash, it can be really hot next to a window. Better to pull the desks back and put the walkways near the window.

Also when you have 9 key employees and 7 window seats you end up snubbing 2 people you wouldn’t want to live without. That shit is part of the calculus of turnover.

Far better to put little tables with three chairs by the windows. Someone can take a break, or have a quick tête-à-tête there. It’s everyone’s window.
