No it's designed to generate text: summarize some text, grocery list for a steak dinner, name ideas, short stories, etc. I think a lot of people want LLMs to be encyclopedias, but that's not what they are designed to be or good at. The fact that they can do encyclopedia tasks at all is amazing.

I hate going to a project's GitHub page and seeing so much fluff and unnecessary or redundant information concealing the things that actually matter. If you want to show off, please do it on a separate website.

I want to know what it is, how to use it, how to build/install/deploy it, and any other specific requirements. Everything else can easily be moved to a wiki page (in moderation, no "wiki mazes"), or simply separate files. And for god's sake keep your gaudy emoji spam away from me.
No Pfizer did not do that.

Pfizer had a trial with 21823 people in the Expirement group and 21823 people in the Placebo group. In the results they excluded data for 1790 from the Expirement group and 1585 Placebo group. However, _crucially_ Pfizer never claimed there were only 100 people in the study after starting with 200; you know pfizer excluded 3375 people because _Pfizer told you_.

It goes back much further than that, literally to the founding of the country. Our constitution has provisions specifically protecting the slave trade. The way we elect our president was designed specifically to give slave owners more power. Racism is an integral part of US history and always has been.

> But that's not how people use masks in real life, so they don't mean much.

I think saying "Using X is effective, but only if you actually use X" is obvious. The thing people want to know is "do masks stop the virus" which is an entirely different question from "How many people will wear masks", which is a different question from "What is the effectiveness of interventions to promote mask wearing"
Also, while this study was inconclusive as to whether masks help prevent covid, it doesn't mean that all studies are inconclusive.

For example, https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8768005/ is "a detailed performance evaluation of the mask is studied from an engineering point of view," which aim to look at how the physics of N95 masks hold up against covid. What the physics shows is that N95 filtration helps block covid particles.

> what's the best about a Brahma chicken?

> Brahma chickens are known for their friendly and docile nature, making them a popular choice for backyard chicken keepers. They are also known for their large size and can weigh up to 14 pounds, making them a impressive addition to any flock. Additionally, Brahma chickens are known for their high egg production, laying an average of 200-250 brown eggs per year. They are also relatively hardy and can adapt well to a variety of climates and living conditions. However, it is important to note that Brahma chickens can be quite large and may require more space and resources than other breeds. It is important to research and understand the needs and requirements of any breed of chicken before deciding to bring them into your home.

> what is your source for each of these claims?

> Brahma chickens are known for their friendly and docile nature: This information is widely available on various online resources and chicken keeping forums, such as Backyard Chickens and The Chicken Chick.

> Brahma chickens can weigh up to 14 pounds: This information is also widely available on various online resources and chicken keeping forums, such as Poultry Keeping and Feathers and Peck.

> Brahma chickens lay an average of 200-250 brown eggs per year: This information is based on data from the American Brahma Breeders Association and other reputable sources.

> Brahma chickens are relatively hardy and can adapt well to a variety of climates and living conditions: This information is also widely available on various online resources and chicken keeping forums, such as Chicken Health and Chicken Keeping 101.

> It is important to note that while these claims are widely available and generally considered to be accurate, it is always best to consult with a qualified veterinarian or other animal care professional before making any decisions about bringing a new animal into your home. They can help you determine the best care and living arrangements for your new pet.

> and why they are so absolutely lost when it comes to creating successful languages

They aren't lost—they're just more interested in actually good ideas than in popularity. Popular languages must appeal to all kinds of programmers with varying backgrounds, so they are heavily constrained. Your argument is basically that mathematicians don't know what they're doing because their most advanced theories aren't used by mechanical engineers.

But to give a free ticket, you still have to have the enforcement; you still have to use resources from the local government (to collect fines).

If you don't pay for enough enforcement (see NYC, Atlanta, Bart, etc that aren't free and have plenty of broken windows), then you still have a "broken window", only it has cost the system significantly more than your other opportunities, ie, armed security on the trains instead of staring at turnstiles; some positions may even be cheaper than your credit card fees on your profitable customers, less ridership (tourism, can't find card, uber competitor) because of fees and complexities reduces effectiveness of the system.
Not sure i follow. _everyone does everything for their self interests_.

That is why raising "good people" is about helping them embrace the good feelings of being "selfless".

The only time i can think of (off the top of my head) where you would give but by no will of your own is to avoid negative outcomes like judgment from others. It's still, just like everything, in your self interest - you're just choosing to avoid pain rather than strictly acquire pleasure.
Some of the most important software I use in my day to day work (neovim, git, alacritty, plus all the CLTs that assist me) are all created in distributed teams around the world.

How do we know that saying in-person innovation isn't a post hoc justification? You can't mandate innovation, you can't order innovation, innovation only comes from individuals; I doubt they would have been less innovative if they worked in person or remotely, and we'll unlikely ever know since we can't run a perfect experiment to verify this.

The next wave of game changing companies will be solely due to individuals being at the right place at the right time, whether that's remotely or in person I doubt that one aspect would be critical.
Can confirm that I experienced a similar problem with my DIY order, and I reviewed my selections multiple times to check that I had in fact selected everything that needed to be selectable before giving up and starting again. (I missed out on Batch 1 <sniff>.) If it helps with debugging, I'm happy to send my current order number to that support address for comparison (my final choices were identical in both cases).
I know you prefaced your argument with saying it's your view and all but that's just not based in reality. Americans want alternatives. It's just too bad they can't afford lobbyists to agitate for those policy preferences. https://www.filesforprogress.org/memos/gnd-for-transit-polli...

Performance/reliability has declined dramatically this year.
I've been doing a combination of 1 (good reputation IP) and 4 (using AWS in my case). I switched VPS provider a couple of years ago - before that I had deliverability issues to anyone using MS 365 (despite jumping through Microsoft's various hoops etc) - since then everything has been fine.

I also have my outbound SMTP server set to send via AWS if my email includes a particular custom header (which it also then strips out before forwarding on) - which means for domains I think might have deliverability issues I can deal with this without needing to make a huge effort.
First, I meant that as a suggestion to look at comparable countries and look at what they're doing because it has been proven it will work. That is as opposed to different measure which might work but have side effects.

That leads me to the heart of your comment. Sure you could institute some kind of dystopian dictatorship that makes sure nobody dies of the causes we deem preventable now. But it would be a cure that kills the patient (free society).

So, there are always trade offs. What I was saying is that looking at other countries and what they've done you can see the trade offs in advance and decide if they're worth it.
Reframing a bit based on my own friends. The senior people I know like it because it's really easy to manage subordinates who are using it. And based on a few experiences I've had doesn't lend itself to the programmers wasting time on half baked mystery abstractions and broken internal API's.
The context is absolutely clear. Data is data. You are simply biased towards a particular domain.
Why do we all need to be impacted by the "bad for education" areas?

Maybe kids that are ready can just start going to college earlier or even skip high school altogether. Yes, they'll have to pay but a community college will suffice. They could probably just take the GED test and pass at 14 years old. I can only imagine how dumbed down that test is.

It's a long story! https://jarv.is/notes/cloudflare-dns-archive-is-blocked/

In short if you use Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 DNS then some archive.is domains won't load so you should perhaps use another DNS server.

Edit: Not because 1.1.1.1 is in the wrong it is just what the person behind archive.is recommends as he will not be changing his position and neither will Cloudflare so it's a bit of a stalemate.
If a company requires me to bring my own hardware they better offer a "sign on bonus" equivalent to the cost of said hardware. Coz I ain't gonna install whatever corporate Spyware they require to be installed onto my hardware. Heck even their corporate hardware sits on a separate vlan that has no access except to the internet.
It's the other way around. The site blocks Cloudflare for some political reasons that have been mentioned here before, but I can't remember what they were.
> In the final analysis, the relationship between the success of a language and any intrinsic qualities is very hard to qualify.

Not at all. It's the same as with literally any other product. If it's good, people will use it. Outliers are rare.

I recently left a FAANG adjacent tech job because of RTO. In the job search here’s what I found on what companies are requiring:

1. RTO with no exceptions
2. RTO, but allowing exceptions for some roles
3. Limited RTO, 2-3 days a week
4. No RTO, but office availability
5. Fully remote

I ended up joining a company with #4, but I was surprised with how much that ended up being a factor in my final decision, because I do like going into the office and I still do. I left a lot of money on the table despite actually being okay with RTO because the freedom it brings with it. Waking up one day and just working from home because you can is just priceless.
What do we practice then? In this country if you work harder/smarter, you are more successful.
Who's the class and who are they suing?

If someone at a DSP (which is an Amazon contractor technically) records or otherwise mishandles these videos, how is Amazon legally responsible?

Amazon has some pretty deplorable practices, especially on the delivery side of things. But the law doesn't even recognize Amazon drivers as Amazon employees. IANAL, but you have contractors working for various third parties. And it looks like the third parties (the DSPs) are leaking footage. Doesn't seem likely an individual would have a case against Amazon, much less a court actually certifying a class action.
> No one, especially the rich, wants to compromise their current standard of living or economic situation for what would be required to turn this around.

And the poor don’t want to give up the possibility of increasing their living standard to become like the rich.

In the developing world, millions of people dream of having air conditioning and cars. They will not be happy with politicians that do things that take away that possibility from them.
If you don't allow someone to admit mistakes, change, do better and eventually earn forgiveness then why would they bother trying?
> Do you use functions?

Unless you're using Haskell or something similar, mathematical functions and what most programming languages call "functions" are very different and are better referred to as procedures. Mathematical functions don't have any concept of some basic constructs like variables (state in general), I/O, or even sequential computation. Pure functional languages have to use things like monads to model procedures.
> The life expectancy of stray dogs in chernobyl is lower than 5-6 years.

OK, and what's the life expectancy of stray dogs living in the wild that are not in the Chernobyl exclusion zone? I mean, I know that dogs can live 15-18 years as pets, but I bet life expectancy in the wild is a lot lower. I don't have hard numbers, though.
We have lots of examples of in-person companies that have succeeded. Genuinely curious, what are the best examples of remote-only success?
You just said definitions and usage don’t line up, and usage is what it means. Now you’re saying how people use it is wrong because it’s not what it means. Can you see how that is confusing?
Meanwhile Apple is stubbornly insisting on its own ways, and awkwardly silent during this whole AI revolution. I gave up using Siri years ago due to its glaring stupidity compared with Google Assistant and Alexa.

While Apple keeps making money from overpriced hardware, the competitors are working on actually being pioneers in AI. It makes me sad to see so much computational power in my iPhone and iPad getting wasted on silly subpar iOS apps.
I'm more curious about difference in wages. On the one hand, I would imagine that if two jobs pay is roughly in the same neighborhood, folks would choose based on WFH policy. On the other hand, offering remote work should really help in attracting great (high salary) talent who have the freedom to choose what they want to do with their life.

I fully support kids being able to advance as quickly as they can or want to. The current system does not support that.
There are plenty of exams that give either partial credit for "I don't know" or negative credit for a wrong answer (to discourage guessing).

Training on internet comments is going to make "I don't know" rather unlikely because when someone asks a question in an online forum and I don't know the answer, people will just not respond rather than responding "I don't know"
My take: designing and implementing systems that are the systems by which an organisation performs its day to day tasks. There are varying levels of abstraction etc - please see below long comment)

There are too many companies offering fully remote for it to be even worth interviewing for a non-remote job. At this point I'll happily accept 10-15% lower total compensation if it means fully remote.
Honest question, is that still within the roam of ethical hacking?
Just looked at graphite.dev and it looks like it only works with Github.

Wild that an entire product can exist that depends on another commercial SaaS offering to have any value at all. That feels absurdly risky to me. Like, I am getting anxiety from the thought of working on that product.

Then again, I guess AWS exists and we all make our peace with it.

We really don’t like solid foundations do we.
