> Rewriting history with rebase is a destructive operation.

It's not, because Git history is immutable [0], you can't change it. But I understand that from the user perspective it appears to change, and the consequences for public history "changes" have to be known to prevent any troubles.

I bet I could improve your prompts and make the pitch decks even better. Let me know if you would like a prompt audit. I also have a detailed prompt for content analysis and scoring. The reason being is because I do tests like this as well to compare GPT-4 basic prompts to prompts enhanced by the SmartGPT AI tool I created.
To be fair to humans, 90% of the workday is spent using bizarre internal corporate speak that has evolved for indirectness approaching meaninglessness.

It’s asking a lot to recognize a real transactional moment, codeswitch, and present effectively to the narrow goal. Even then, the narrow goal (maximize the chance of external funding) might be misaligned with the broad personal goal (don’t overcommit… on fucking anything).

A robot can just maximize on the funding result. It didn’t spend its whole career being lectured in circles about the next “one-corpco initiative” that will replace everybody’s SAP front-ends or whatever.
I knew a 16 year old girl in university. She was taken advantage of by several adults who were in positions of authority or mentorship. She was technically above the age of consent, but she was harmed severely -- both in terms of trauma and reputationally: dating a 16 year old results in 16 year old drama and that killed her career because those were the guys that were supposed to be stepping-stones for her career. She was entirely capable of interfacing with adult peers, but she was exceedingly naive. I agree that 14 year olds, regardless of intellect, should not be working full time anywhere.
What elements do you think make up the bulk of compost? The dry mass is indeed mostly carbon. What do you think happens to the nitrogen in plant matter digested by these bacteria? It’s either coming off as nitrogen gases or magically disappearing.

If you use the right tone apparently you can make anything seem environmentally friendly.

Composting creates solid carbon which can be used in agriculture, amended to soil, or just buried thereby keeping carbon out of the air which is the entire idea of reversing global warming trends. CO2 is CO2 however it got to be that way. “Equivalent amount of nitrous oxide” there’s no such issue, plant matter is made of mostly carbon, the nitrogen isn’t there to be anywhere near equivalent and comes out anyway regardless of if you burned or completely metabolized it with some bacteria.

The lack of critical thinking is very frustrating.
this again? it is good advice sometimes, but also good advice if you want a long ride to the station because you refused to identify yourself and give information.
I'm not sure what this article is, but BMR is most highly correlated to lean body mass, and it varies by a pretty large margin between individuals (e.g. Men are typically quoted as requiring ~2000Cal/day, vs women requiring ~1200, and much of the difference is actually attributable to lean body mass).
Efficient != Substandard

Sitting in traffic for an hour because public transit infrastructure is woefully underfunded and ignored is not an improved standard of living.

No longer being allowed to roll coal on bikers doesn't lower average living standards.
Classes like this were funny. I often found that people who just knew the answer immediately had a lot of difficulty doing proofs, and the people good at doing proofs usually didn't arrive at the solution very quickly or seem to have an intuitive understanding of the problem at first.

Some people are just wired differently.
An interesting point regarding Catholic Canon Law is that there is a distinction between validity and liceity: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Validity_and_liceity_(Catholic...

To a casual reader, it may seem the "valid" and "licit" are nearly interchangeably in this article, but they are two different things and there are cases where an action is valid and illicit, or invalid, but licit.

Canon 126 is also relevant for this particular case:

> Can. 126 An act placed out of ignorance or out of error concerning something which constitutes its substance or which amounts to a condition sine qua non[1] is invalid. Otherwise it is valid unless the law makes other provision. An act entered into out of ignorance or error, however, can give rise to a rescissory action according to the norm of law.

This is part of why Catholicism does not view itself as legalistic despite having a well-developed code of law. In minor things, it is assumed that God gives the benefit of the doubt so mistakes made out of ignorance/error do not affect the validity of the action. This also helps with scrupulosity and splintering over minor things.

I went thru some nonsense trying to get two 50 user accounts past 50 users (it required Google elevating the support request and 24 hour delays) until I noticed there were more than one way to register workspace accounts - the dual of this? I documented the process and strategically kept it from biological storage.
I will probably be forced to revisit those notes soon.

The sensible way to do this experiment would be to have GPT-4 create pitch decks for the same businesses that the humans pitched, putting the constraints of those businesses in the prompts. I skimmed the article and it's not clear to me whether they did that.

Amusingly, the article itself seemed more like a pitch than a scientific experiment.
I think you might be confusing ampersand with the Tironian et which looks like a 7 - Unicode point U+204A. It is still visible in Ireland on the old Post 7 Telegraph boxes. Tiro invented a shorthhand system and his Tironian et represented the sound "et". I recently dived into this whole subject so it's kinda fresh in my mind.
I’ve basically completely stopped using notion after they crammed “AI” in there with absolutely no option to turn it off without a business tier plan (even more $$$ than the personal). If I want to use chat gpt I’m gonna open that in a completely separate window and interact with it there, I cannot stand LLMs being unceremoniously shoved into seemingly every pre-existing tool I use.
Seriously? I thought everybody used their phone for their primary web browser. Only time i really use a browser is at work (or very occasionally while at home -- why walk across the room when a large part of the internet is in my back pocket?)
Some routing issue, too: Neither 8.8.8.8 nor 1.1.1.1 solved things, though they both did... resolve things. So to speak. But turning on a VPN fixed everything immediately.
Only resolves names that are allowed. Basically, a reject-list is too hard to maintain - a growing list everyday! But a permit-list is small(er) and finite; easy to expand for a fews hours/days when needed.

It keeps my home network much quieter; blocks nearly all bullshit (ads, malware, etc) and is easier to maintain.
Here is something from the popular press: https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/buying-carbon-off...

Here is an assessment of carbon offsets by a certifier themselves. They hold that 30% of their offsets are "high quality". The assessment is in response to an investigation by the Guardian which found that 94% of offsets don't hold much weight: https://www.sylvera.com/blog/guardian-offsets-response

And finally, my favorite, but wordy. Because I need to see things "in action" to believe them. Here is an in-depth example of an offset project. Tldr: in that specific case, it's accounting magic. You build a model that predicts growing emissions in the future, so by just keeping emissions stable you can claim emission offsets: https://sci-hub.se/10.1057/s41265-016-0024-4

If you have any kind of reaction, or thoughts, let me know. This is part of my day-to-day work, so I am always curious to learn how to communicate things.
I was having an issue connecting to Netflix earlier, until I used VPN. I momentarily wondered if Comcast was going back to their old practices of sabotaging streaming services from 10 years ago. DownDetector said Netflix was down, other sites worked, it makes sense that Comcast is up to no good, right?

But I don't use Comcast DNS. Netflix would be the only site I visited which has a peering agreement with Comcast. It makes more sense that the route between Comcast and Netflix is broken, regardless of my local DNS lookups being unaffected, than malfeasance on Comcast's part. The route from Comcast to VPN to Netflix, on the other hand, is unaffected.
The only Apple device I use is the laptop I was given for work, and I've always disliked that the button that would "maximize" the window on other OS instead makes the window "fullscreen" (getting rid of the menu and everything else that entails). I recently discovered that I am actually able to "maximize" by double-clicking the top bar of the window, but I have no idea if this is something that works by default or if one of the various utilities I installed added this functionality. Either way, it seems basically impossible to discover other than by chance; if I hadn't double clicked that area by accident, I still wouldn't know.
Don't do that. Be glad you're your own person. You don't get that far that fast without being pushed harder than any kid should be pushed.

I used to be this kid. I finished undergrad when I was twenty and had I minmaxed for age like he did I would've been sixteen or even younger. I can't overstate how much it fucked me up socially. Trust me that it's not a life you want.

I'd bet money that he has some of the same mental health issues I've had to struggle with, including but not limited to having a social identity that's defined for you before you're old enough to understand what a social identity is. We assign people's genders at birth and don't think anything of it. Everything about me was assigned before I was old enough to choose for myself, and the moment I outgrew and stepped out of that image I was basically disowned.
Hence my including "a diet lacking essential vitamins". But nutritional science figured out stuff like "preventing scurvy" pretty well several decades (or in some cases, centuries) ago. It's further attempts to refine diet to promote health that don't seem to have really led to any really actionable results, to the point that it seems worth considering that it might just not be possible.
I was exposed to Kusto Query Language this week. I used it to query logs in Azure. At first, I thought "what? Another query language to learn? " But I find myself liking it. It reminds me of ML style piping expressions, and it's very explicitly lays out how each operator works on top of previous clauses, which makes it very clear how and when each clause works. I'm assuming / hoping the queries that are actually executed are deferred - I would think they would have to be!
Sure one can use credit cards, but the *below market*, and *fixed* rate on *unsecured* debt is fairly unique. In fact, I don't think there is anything even remotely like it available today. But do let me know. I too gorged on that First Republic Product and I miss the good old days.

For high-net worth individuals it's pretty easy to access significantly sized pledged asset lines of credit, portfolio margin loans, and the like but that's secured debt, often (but not always) variable rate, and the rates are not great.

When interest rates were zero-ish, you could get low margin rates, but again, not fixed and secured.
The point is that Catholics believe the words that Jesus said during the last supper, and He used wine without additives. The Mass is the repetition of that last supper and the death of Jesus in the cross. So to be faithful to what Jesus did it's important to use the same type of wine He used.
I’ve had a much more mixed experience than this, personally. Most cities in California are very nice and very safe.

Traveling to foreign lands entails different rules and customs, which means new possible risks. Too many people think that their values or rules are universal. I think this is a major cognitive blind spot. It's like traveling to foreign lands with their different rules and customs is not such a smart idea, overall. Error on the side of caution.
The biz case here is interesting: I had no idea what the postage rates are from the US, so checked and saw that they start at $1.45. Maybe you can get bulk rates from the USPS but let’s assume that’s the shipping cost. Let’s assume <50c for printing so roughly $2 per postcard. That only leaves $1 for profit & op expenses which sounds a bit low.

What am I missing here?

Additionally, I would not be OK to enter friends’ addresses in a random app.
Ah, we've reached the great replacement.

No, it is not. Populations naturally evolve, but they never spontaneously evolve to whatever your arbitrary definition of pure white is. Nobody is orchestrating this, and "white" people (quotes because that's quite a moving target) aren't going extinct. Low birth rates aren't replacement, and unless you want to blame our standard of living, they aren't genocide either.

I guess it'd be a more interesting question if you asked who caused the upcoming global climate refugee crisis.
> but I do use virtual desktops, and... that's exactly how I would expect virtual desktops to behave? If it only changed a single monitor, does that mean you'd have to go to each monitor to change to a different virtual desktop?

Different strokes for different folks. In my setup yes, each of the three monitors has their own set of virtual desktops. When working on a project for example, I might have my center display configured with the IDE, and a second monitor configured with one virtual desktop per group of related reference materials. So I can switch between API docs, language docs, database query and reference etc on one monitor, while keeping the IDE front and center. The other monitor might contain a space with "office" apps (slack, email etc) and then another with a set of tiled terminal windows for using CLI utilities. If I switch that screen to look at emails, I don't need or want the other screens to change to something else.
I came to the conclusion that it is simply their culture. Chinese people, in general, don't have a strong sense of "mine" vs "someone else's". They seem to think that if it's there, then they can just as well take it and do whatever with it.

I had a Chinese friend at University. Smart guy, and friendly, but he just couldn't understand why people in his dorm got mad at him every time he took their stuff from the fridge and ate or drank it. "it was there, I was thirsty! And if you insist, I will replace it..."
> How would you propose we differentiate between students "playing along" and students really having false memories?

Remove the incentive for the student to fabulate.

Have another, supposedly (to the students) 'independent' researcher ask them questions about it days or weeks later. A potential way of doing this would be to have a member of the Institutional Review Board (or supposed member of said board) following up with the students as a matter of 'quality control' and verification that the study followed IRB guidelines. Phrase the reason for the questioning as looking for non-punitive, but developmental, feedback for the researcher.

For ethical reasons this would probably require blinding the original researcher to the identities of the students, but this could be done by having people other than the PI actually ask the questions.

For a particular study on whether or not the student did something criminal, have the questioner truthfully assert to the student binding confidentiality as to their identity by dint of being a psychologist or someone like that who has the legal duty to not divulge.
Trust me, it will one day.
> After rebasing you basically have two versions of the same commit, and that is the root of the problem.

No, you have two commits. Git commits are snapshots, not diffs. Git's data model is simple. The fact that people do not bother trying to understand it is the root of the problem.

This is a solid take, the only thing I'll quibble with is the idea that VC funding is going to dry up. Sure, it will be less for a while, and diligence will be much higher, but there's too much capital sloshing around that will continue looking for big returns, and where else can they get it? Theoretically you might find it in the developing world, but it's hard to make a convincing argument that the structural and corruption problems there are going to be fixed more readily than traditional VC funds who have far fewer stakeholders to wrangle when trying to recalibrate their structure and strategy.

> GPT-4 generally will beat non-experts.

Just a nitpicking, but I would say GPT can easily beat untrained people. Clearly, GPT has already learned from all the good examples available on the internet, and it's nothing weird about that trained ones mostly outperform untrained ones.
I think this is more about the ethos of the Mac. Unix (which is the underpinnings of Mac) was all about lots of small tools that build together to make something great, and if the base OS doesn’t have what you want then that’s a great third party (or DIY) opportunity.

This bleeds over to the Mac in my opinion. I don’t want Apple to make everything, I want them to provide hooks and APIs that allow other people to make things to give me more choices as a user.

I don’t want big monolith applications (like Outlook), I want small applications that do one thing well.

So when people say “why doesn’t Apple do X?” And I see a dozen third party implementations I think “because they don’t need to” and that’s perfect in my mind.
I recently started using MacOS and fell into this habit as well - I just end up leaving windows open floating underneath other apps. I learned about cmd+` which is handy to deal with multiple windows of the same app.

In Windows I tend to minimize stuff I'm not actively working on (but not always). In general while I also have a lot of "background" windows it feels a lot less fiddly than MacOS.

Personally I don't like how "minimizing" apps on MacOS puts them in the temporary section of the launcher, I'd rather they minimize back down to where the icon of the app normally lives. I would end up with a bunch of black squares on the launcher in some random order with a tiny icon of each telling me which app this actually is.

> First, all you need to do is shut up to exercise the right.

Actually, as I understand it, SCOTUS has said that merely being silent is not the same as invoking your Fifth Amendment right to remain silent. I think this jurisprudence is complete bananapants, but the argument is that you have to explicitly and unambiguously invoke your Fifth Amendment right for it to kick in, and being silent isn't an unambiguous invocation.

More the latter than the former these days, but at a macro level, like last 20 years, it’s more the former than the latter.

Basically AMD has caught up (arguable, but let’s say they have) to Nvidia with respect to driver quality and hardware performance/power consumption, just in time for the world to become more concerned with how a GPU handles AI stuff than how it handles video games.
It's the same in Germany, but I still wouldn't expect the police to ask for my ID when asking for directions. The fact that you need to be able to identify yourself when asked doesn't mean that they are supposed to ask for it for every interaction.
I'm atheist-leaning agnostic, but having grown up with Christian parents, I have to imagine that Jesus (the historical figure) would be annoyed at the idea of people two millennia in the future arguing about whether or not a particular grape juice product[1] was suitable for commemorating the ceremony he put on for his disciples.

Furthermore, I'm pretty sure he'd be angry enough to start tipping over tables in the square that anyone would claim that using a slightly different grape juice product invalidated anything about the events where it was consumed.

Of course, I'm sure this philosophical difference is exactly why there are so many splinter factions of Christianity, but it's hard for me to imagine making a religion a central part of one's life and then completely ignoring so much of the message that the core figure of that religion tried to get across.

Funny enough, but I've come across some really nice Perl code in the wild at work. I was used to the vendor providing some 40 class Java monstrosity to do something that should take like a page of code, so I was pleasantly pleased to find a contractor who provides an extremely well commented page of code to do something simple, yet critical to operations. The way Perl calls the OS to do something and glue everything together was pretty elegant.
