I think the interactive-dialogue part is a distraction. I think the "new UI paradigm" is defined by goal-orientation, or "outcome specification". So, instead of giving the computer instructions on how to do something, users describe the end goal, and hope for the best, and then finetune the result either by adjusting their request, or by adding explicit commands.

So, in that sense, even if Infocomm games cleverly emulated the dialogue part of ChatGPT, I don't think that was the novel part claimed here.

Think more "Make me an Infocomm-style challenge to solve. Include dragons. Do not include orcs, ogres, or any monster that uses a club."
> The article said that two former California governors threatened to sell public land to balance budgets so the private ownership seems to be a mitigation.

This is a well-known concern in land preservation. There's apparently an offshore island near Maine that's too small and too far out to be of much use to humans, but it's an important migratory bird resting point.

IIRC, it was donated to the state once by conservationists (long ago), sold by the state, and then repurchased and preserved by a non-profit foundation. The state won't be getting it again!

The usual approach in the US is for the land conservation foundations to split up the ownership rights between two different local organizations in a way that prevents developing the land without agreement from both organizations.

As a general rule, most towns are happy with this setup. It provides them with public walking trails, and possibly areas for other outdoor sports. Many towns choose not to tax these lands, within reason.
This is a great chance to exercise curiosity rather being dismissive.
Indeed. Our brains are good at making steps disappear, if the underlying system is predictable.

In other words, an UI with more steps but fully predictable has much lower cognitive load than a predictive UI that has fewer steps, but occasionally guesses wrong (or an UI that just has fewer steps, but they're sort of different each time, which is currently the norm on the web and mobile).
those games are not small narrative games. they're fairly large. I've only played sunless sea, which, tbh, I thought was dreadfully boring. I would have liked just reading the narratives but the forced tedium of sailing combined with ease of death was awful
The network effect is amplified significantly however by the popularity of those companies. You're much less likely to hear about an individual Reddit community by word of mouth. However, once you're aware of Reddit, it's much easier to discover subreddits that suit your interest. The same isn't true of Discord.
there's tons of stuff on the internet for this now. keep these two things in mind:

1. is what you've been doing for years, working? then don't keep doing it.

2. has asking advice from women, ever worked?

3. imagine you have always been poor, how do you think your social circle would react if you tried to get rich? if you actually achieve it?

think deeply about these things with an open mind.

talking about the fact that you can actually learn to be good with women is highly offensive to a huge portion of the population because you are turning that something that should be 'natural' into something that can be quantified and that deeply upsets some people. they really can't handle it mentally.
I recently read what you might call an "apprecation" of the Sextant, the navigational instrument -- it was a mix of a travelogue of the author's trip across the Atlantic, a narrative history of nautical navigation, and a technical exploration of the sextant itself.

The relevance here is the history of navigation -- finding, losing, re-finding, and re-naming islands happened a lot, especially in the south Pacific. Nice reminder that the growth of knowledge isn't always linear.

The book is "Sextant: A Voyage Guided by the Stars and the Men who Mapped the World's Oceans", by David Barrie.
> And the cost is lack of discoverability, basically forever.

Sadly, this is actually a feature. Discoverability of content adds an incentive for SEO-style spam. It's very hard to implement technical solutions to this kind of incentive problem. I'm part of a few discords where there's a lot of valuable knowledge about purchasing certain consumer products. If this content were discoverable by millions of people it'd be someone's full time job to game the system.
You can create a resource without “using” it immediately, though.
It's intriguing to see what kind of personality a billionaire has that pushes him to do these stunts and also publicly brag about them. I hope it's not a necessary ingredient to success as I do not intend to live like that.

Because getting into the ocean just requires some ballast. You can jump overboard any ship at any time in a diving bell and see how far you make it. Or not. But going to orbital velocity is another matter entirely. But once you are in space vs once you are in the deep ocean the environment will try to kill you in entirely different ways and in that sense space is easier than the deep ocean. Some parts of earth are off limits with present day technology and the Titanic is roughly on the border of what you can do with some degree of reliability. And probably less reliability than was forecast. With space, once you are out there given enough fuel the solar system is your for the taking. Until you dive down in another gravity well.

Sometimes I want to think that learning to code in the days of 8-bit computers is somehow incompatible with a lot of modern programming concepts, but maybe I'm just old and tired.
I never understood the diehard love for Redis when memcache always scaled better across nodes & was multithreaded (better utilizing on node resources)
Brexit caused the UK to not be in the free trade area commonly called the EU, which meant that the EU didn't have convenient trade with the UK and the UK didn't have convenient trade with the EU.

Why can't people sell the bank's debt to them?
Very much so. Also anyone pointing it out in their forums gets ignored. On discord all you get as an answer is "shipping is hard". I got really pissed off once, because I invested a lot of time into developing for their products(soquartz boards, other quartz64 products). So I genuinely wanted to help them resolve this shipping (at least to Eu, as that's the logistics market I know). What I got back, was essentially being accused of being rude by trying to get to the bottom of it why is it so hard for them, in addition to repeatedly being assured "they work as hard as they can, and they have very competent people so need no help" as well as "they're having problems with customs and stuff".

Still, 6 months later they haven't figured it out. From a private conversation with one person "in the know" they claimed its difficult because there are various tax systems in the EU (so what, there are only 27 countries, figure one a month, also it is way more unified now that few years ago when it somehow worked fine for them), that they even have problems shipping to their EU store, that they ship from HongKong and Singapore, despite most of their boards being made in China and that makes it difficult, that their owner "is not China based so they can't use Aliexpress (they could use an intermediary, even with a 20% cut it would still be twice cheaper to ship like this)", that some people in Czech Republic would order cheap boards, then when they were asked to pay few bucks for the lack of EU VAT handling by the seller, declined and Pine had to foot the bill(we're literally talking about $5 bucks), and so and so on.

Eventually I decided I'm 50% convinced they do it on purpose to "help" their EU store, and the other 50% is they simply don't care enough. They just cover the biggest markets and population centers, like shipping to Germany in EU was still available for 12EUR last time I checked. So, no, I'm not buying their risc V board. Id rather get Sipeed's board that I can pay $11 for, but get it shipped for few bucks from China. The whole design is open too.

I invite you to give it a shot.

Apps don't normally have to care that deeply about UI latency, high cpu usage, various quirks of performance hits across platforms, VRAM, controller variations, achieving a solid 30-60 FPS minimum, battery life impact, etc. Unity, for example, is great at giving you the tools to do exactly what you suggest from day one, but it by no means solves the above for you.
I don’t know if it’s just me that’s heartless, but I think if you’re financially sophisticated enough to bank in other countries or to have more than the insurable limit held in cash (!!! why???) then you ought to have known better or to have known the risks.

I never have more than a small amount held in cash, and even if I had a crazy windfall and made some billions, I wouldn’t keep more than a small amount in cash. For the patient folks, there’s equities… For the risk averse, there’s money markets, treasurys, real estate, etc.
I disassembled and reassembled BILLY bookshelves after 4 years without any visible damage, and they served for another 3+ years until I moved overseas and sold them. Not sure if they survived the second move, but they definitely did the first time.
Yeah basically. I guess it’s mostly me on personal nightmare fuel… The turbine output chute of the dam I grew up with was so rapid and voluminous that standing next to it was like being caught in a tsunami and the white water extended hundreds of meters from the dam. I spent a lot of time in the river in boats and jetskis and there were a number of signs and buoys ominously warning of certain death.

The scale of it all was quite terrifying to my young mind as I imagined all the unseeable hazards beneath the water’s surface, on which it capitalized during my sleeping moments.

Wealth is a strange concept. People try to to put a numerical figure on it, but that's not how it works.

Wealthy is when the numerical amount of money you have is not something that you worry about.

Wealthy is when you have 'enough'.

Wealthy is when your lifestyle and the amount of money you have means that you can not spend all your assets in the time you have left to live. (Example: You spend $100,000 a year. You have two million dollars in the bank. You are 75 years old. You have to be able to live to the age of 95 to be able to spend all that cash.)

Wealthy is when you buy what you want, when you want it. (The downside of that is 'What do you want for your Birthday/Christmas/etc. ?' and 'I don't know, there's nothing I want just now.')

Wealthy is when you literally stop thinking about money as a problem.

An AI cannot charge money from customers. ChatGPT can't open a bank account or a Stripe account to receive payment from clients. If you actually sell something online instead of trying to make money with ads, you are going to be okay for a long time ahead.

Really impressed with how clean and fast the interfaces of all these are. Even more so than old.Reddit

It's state at a different level than most configuration management software deals with. When Puppet reasons about the state of an existing system, it asks things like 'what's on the PATH right now?'. NixOS doesn't— it reconstructs the directory tree under /run/current-system/sw/bin without asking that. Same with 'modification' of files that live under /etc. What you and the GP write here is nuance worth admitting, but I wanted to highlight what people are getting at when they say Nix's approach is 'stateless'. What they mean is that Nix's approach to state is really qualitatively different, and hands state off to be managed by a lower level part of the system as much as possible.
Yeah, but I'd like to try deploying this on Huggingface or Lambda Labs.

Do you know if that is possible?
I never thought that just the registers for AVX-512 were so large compared to L1. (Though some newer chips have 48kb instead of 32). But I think I’m mostly surprised because I hadn’t thought of the size of the register file (which is comparable) when considering renaming.

A story I would have believed was that the instruction set was designed with some useful seeming instructions and a hope that compilers would improve. But it sounds like it was designed much more closely with actual example programs and a compiler, just not the kind that attempts to vectorise scalar code.
> I suppose that how durable IKEA furniture is depends a lot on what you choose.

It absolutely does. They have several quality/price tiers for most IKEA furniture that rather predictable goes from particle board to plywood to solid wood. The materials are listed on the tag in the IKEA showroom so I literally just look for the product that have only solid wood (and veneer if applicable).

The particle board is crap that quickly deteriorates, especially if you spill anything on the exposed particle board. The plywood is actually quite good if you apply a little wood glue to the joints, and the solid wood is usually the best bang for the buck furniture you can buy outside of craigslist heirloom pieces.

There is a lot of good money to be made for people who understand cloud cost structures and the alternative options available. You'll want to target mid-size businesses that bet on a cloud and were actually successful but are now drowning in cloud bills. Large companies will hire in-house expertise, and small companies don't spend enough for it to be worth hiring a contractor. But I really think there's a market of mid-size companies who don't know how to reduce their AWS bills. Cloud cost optimization (and perhaps migrations between clouds or to hybrid cloud/on-prem at times) would be a great business for a solo contractor. Being able to pay for your own contracting fee out of the savings is almost a given.

convoluted nonsense
I've only used Redis a bit, and memcached not at all yet. But sometimes the superior alternative might lose out simply due to bad luck. I.e. that Redis gained traction and that was it. Or perhaps getting started with Redis is more easy/straight forward than memcached and that's why.

Or it could be any of the features that Redis has which memcached does not that contributed to this outcome.
All the AIs are not good at depth perception, some spatial reasoning, understanding temporal coherence and real world properties like that. AI is a 'flatland' phenomenon.

Crypto Entrepreneur Do Kwon (Terra) Gets Four-Month Sentence in Montenegro
If the sub had imploded, it is likely that the implosion may have been detected by various naval assets. I don't think that SOSUS is still active but there is very likely something similar with enough sensitivity to detect this somewhere in the ocean. The question would be if classification etc would allow speedy relay of that information to the search teams etc. Granted, not much to search for if there was an implosion.
Hoo boy did you miss the point of that’s happening here.
Yes. I can even imagine some extreme nonsense where the regulators call the loans because they're not backed by collateral any more.

A government buying data for surveillance has little to do with capitalism. Perhaps part of the reason you see “everything” become “shitty” is you have a limited ability to identify, isolate, respond to, and avoid or change root causes.

If the ecosystem is bad (hypothetically speaking, I'm not a JS developer), what good is having a few good things?
Yes, very much so. There are very few of them made and most of them are ROVs not manned for very good reasons. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep-submergence_vehicle lists about 30 of them (manned ones, there are far more ROVs), each and every one of these should be considered experimental. Typical uses are scientific exploration and navy. Tourism is definitely not a main driver behind their development.

It's a very specific API, you don't need to use that API. QUIC implementations don't tend to have an equivalent for example, there's some of Connection data structure, but no need to give out integer handles if the implementation just lives in a library. It can seem weird today when we're used to sockets everywhere, but that's an arbitrary choice and there's no reason a tiny embedded system would mimic it.

Looks like they did a real half-assed job at exactly that.

Interesting. But isn't that law about union stuff? Does it somehow apply if a union isn't involved? It seems reasonable to me that a company asks for an agreement to not sue for wrongful termination if it offers a buyout. If you accept the buyout it's basically an out of court settlement. And any settlement includes an agreement to not pursue further legal action, otherwise by definition it's not a settlement. If you don't accept the buyout then as I said you're free to sue or arbitrate. So where is the problem?
If their dev team believes there is value in GraphQL, maybe they also want those same benefits for their business apps/APIs in addition to their customer-facing ones. Maybe they all use the same API gateway.
That’s true, although I wasn’t sure if simpler approaches using let bindings like that would fall under the author’s “without passing in a function to itself.”
They probably could, but who would “buy” a liability? If someone wanted to sell you their problems, how much money would you pay for the privilege of the burden?

My impression of Jobs from reading his bios was that he was a top tier bullshit artist.

How do you define this, exactly? A family member gets wind of this radical new treatment for their terminal cancer, let's call it HemWick. They talk to their doctor and say they really want to take it, so they have no choice but to sign off on it.

They spend $50,000 on a four week regiment and by week two they're feeling a lot better and week four they're dead.

Now you're probably thinking 'Hemlock is obviously poisonous', except the reason why these regulations exist is because people were selling literal poison as cures for diseases and profiting immensely.
The inclusion of Ukraine's territorial defense does a good job of showing that what really animates these types of discussions is anti-Americanism, not any sort of principled opposition to violence.
