You sent me down the rabbit hole. It turns out there are only 19 theatres that are serving up the film version: https://www.washingtonpost.com/entertainment/movies/2023/07/.... This image near the bottom of the article shows the comparisons of the formats: https://gfx-data.news-engineering.aws.wapo.pub/ai2html/Cropp....

Now I have huge FOMO and don't have a city close to me to see it. I haven't seen a movie in theatres in years and it would have been nice to treat myself to this one.
> Doesn't it point to a drop in demand for chips

Yes, but in isolation it isn't evidence of an economic downturn in general. It is evidence of the whiplash of consumer demand shifting during COVID from services to goods and back again along with the cost of retooling the industrial plant to match that demand. There's a range of ripple effects across industries that will be ongoing for some time.

Absolutely honest is a curse, because it's self-defeating. I am not advocating doing or saying anything unethical, but I don't think you are obliged to "tell the detailed truth" in a job interview. As a counterargument, a potential future coworker of mine had their offer rescinded after a background check determined they had worked for several companies known to steal IP, but left that off their resume.

At least in my case, saying you got fired has zero implications. I've been close to being fired before, and the reasons were bogus- but there's no way to communicate that without a hiring agent being biased (incorrectly) against you.
And I don't know that there truly is a difference, legally speaking, in terms of "being fired" or "laid off". You got terminated either way.
You see one law with unintended consequences and propose more laws to fix that?

Don't you see a problem with that?

This will only lead to more faster automation or this moving to countries with laxer laws (e.g. China and manufacturing)

That is signal calling for automation.
yes, turning unstructured data into structured data is one of the most useful ways to use an LLM right now. It has been done before with using schemas and could be done without all the extra cruft.

There was a similar example a few months back using XML instead, but I haven't heard much about it since, because again, the library did not add value on top of doing these things in a more open or scripted setting.

MSFT has another project in similar vain, guardrails, interesting idea, but made worse by wrapping it in a library. Most of these LLM ideas are better as a function than a library, make them transform the i/o rather than every library needing to write wrappers around the LLM APIs as well

There are several more making use of OpenAPI / JSONSchema rather than TS.

We use a subset of CUE, essentially JSON without as many quotes or commas. The LLMs are quite flexible with few-shot learning. They can be made more reliable with fine-tuning. They can be made faster and cheaper with distillation.
One of my beliefs is that truth may have negative short-term consequences, but the long term benefits are worth it in the long run.

So, wow- the facts presented here are depressing. Really a huge example of people in positions of authority blatantly misleading the public.
Ha ha, coincidentally I used that model too, due to having heard of that HP calculator model the most.
Yeah. I’m following this discussion and not really finding myself able to relate very well.

We’re using IAC almost exclusively; loads of Ansible particularly. Everything is essentially a Kubernetes manifest or a playbook in Ansible (which runs on Kubernetes). We exited the “all in on one cloud and all its services” methodology and it made our lives _vastly_ less complex. We don’t really need the kinds of complexity that brings. We picked two tools as close to the metal as was reasonably portable between any given VM or bare metal stack, and deploy everything else on top of that. It has made life _so_ much easier.

Of course we still use some best in class services, but we avoid proprietary services that cannot be at least functionally replaced inside a week, unless we’re hosting them ourselves.
But they’re not the same stances. And it’s not one person making every decision.
Computers and Automata by Claude Shannon - https://fermatslibrary.com/s/computers-and-automata.

Absolutely fantastic paper summarizing the field of automata in the 1950s. Amazing how amazing of a surveyor Shannon was. I wish there was a present-day analog for the field now.
You and aprdm have given me a little bit of hope that some larger tech employers (I assume you're both with larger employers as I've never heard of a small employer that did PIPs) are decent when it comes to this sort of thing. It's good to know. Thank you.
I translated this literally from Dutch. I searched for it and I think it is just incorrect. Maybe English is not that weird anyway.
World events with online players have the potential to be much better. I'm hopeful it'll evolve over time. That being said, D4 is not even close to being balanced perfectly. There are orders of magnitude of power level in difference between classes and builds. At least if you measure them against "end game content" and not the campaign which can be completed with any class / skill selection.
My insights are widely accepted theories from various fields, all available in the public domain.

It's a well-understood concept that our minds function by making sense of the world through patterns. This is the essence of interpolation - taking two known points and making an educated guess about what lies in between. Ever caught yourself finishing someone's sentence in your mind before they do? That's your brain extrapolating based on previous patterns of speech and context. These processes are at the heart of human creativity.

The field of Cognitive Science has extensively documented our tendency for interpolation and pattern recognition. Works like The Handbook of Imagination and Mental Simulation by Markman and Klein, or even "How Creativity Works in the Brain" by the National Endowment for the Arts all attest to this.

When artists create, they draw from their experiences, their knowledge, their understanding of the world - a process overwhelmingly of interpolation.

Now, I can see how you might be confused about my reference to ChatGPT being "super-intelligent". Perhaps "hyper-competent" would be more appropriate? It has the ability to generate text that appears intelligent because it's interpolating from a massive amount of data - far more than any human could consciously process. It's the ultimate pattern finder.

And that, my friend, is my version of "publications on the subject of how minds work." I may not be an illustrious scholar, but hey, even a clock is right twice a day! And who knows, maybe I'm on to something after all.
I can answer this, but first I want to understand better why it matters. It's deliberate, de jure harm inflicted on Black families regardless of the purported and actual benefits to white homeowners.
Skepticism by the unqualified is just denial of expertise. Whatever Mr Silver's qualification on statistics, it does not render him any sort of expert on contagious pathology nor on coronaviruses in general.

Skepticism is warranted when one has an underlying knowledge basis to interpret new statements, put them into context of the existing models and detect something amiss. Without that foundation, what being called skepticism is just an assertion of one's lack of knowledge. Dunning-Kruger effect in spades.

Sorry, you’re right perhaps I was being too flippant. What I meant to convey is: the information itself is interesting. But I can’t get past the whole agonizing about gender thing. If I’m to be lectured about gender inequality (whatever that is), and indeed the article doesn’t press that fact explicitly but it still feels pervasive throughout, then at least do me the courtesy of answering what a single individual like myself should be compelled to DO.

Simply informing me that women don’t write many top hits, by itself, is sorta like… “Ight, and?”

But you are correct. Perhaps I’m projecting a bit in my reflection here. I guess I just wanted to article to be more actionable if it was committed to being whiny.
I detest this kind of nonsensical sensationalism in the press. So what? It’s not a meaningful metric or temperature.
it's neigh impossible to read the content on a mobile device on that godforsaken website with all the ads and jumping UI... seriously annoying.
Honestly, I think such a scenario will only be relevant for a few more years. After which, photorealistic deepfakes will be so easy to produce reliably that they simply won't have the credibility.

I don't know what happens to journalism and misinformation at that point, but it's not good. State level actors have been doing this already. India just recently got caught putting cheeky smiles on the faces of protestors after being brutalized by police to suggest they were faking their distress for their cause.

Never attribute to incompetence instead of malice after a reasonable amount of time has elapsed for someone to have noticed and decided whether the behavior was undesirable and should be urgently fixed (not malice) or not (malice). Never attribute to incompetence instead of malice when a trillion dollar company that should have trillion-dollar-company-appropriate internal QA processes misses or ignores something blatant and terrible, especially when that problem is as old and as well understood as content shifting.

Pretty much. "Beach reads" (and, yeah, a lot of genre fiction including most SF) fall into this category but criticizing popular reads because they're not somewhat arbitrarily-defined literature seems pretty pointless.
Choosing "No" instead of "No thanks, I don't like free stuff" is not hard. Choosing to give the "No" button equal weight and placement as the "Yes" button is not hard.

It's malice to hide the opt-out option in tiny gray text at the bottom of the modal but make the opt-in button huge, orange, and unmissable. Dark pattern, not incompetence.
Good lord. There's no way I could behave this way. I guess I'm just not mercenary enough.

>There are 100s of ways to be creative in game development outside of roblox that are approachable these days

And not everyone uses everything. As long as a tool is not terrible it will have some amount of market share. I am not denying there are alternatives, but there is going to be a percentage of people who want what Roblox is offering compared to itch.io.

>Those other systems aren't by default setup to lie that you will be the next rockstar developer

That sounds like marketing talk. Most businesses will try and oversell what their tools will let you do. As shown in the video people are realistic that there is a small number of people who will become successful.

>just as long as you pump more money into our closed ecosystem for more prominent placement on this front page

Adevertising campaigns for games are not Roblox specific at all.

>while skimming significant rev shares off the top that is opaque.

Most platforms have rev share. Again if you make an iphone app you will similarly be rev sharing with apple.

>to take your talent and make it their content.

It's beneficial for both parties. If it's not developers would not invest time and money into making things for the platform. It just business like everywhere else.
When did anyone disavow nuclear?

I think the OP’s point was that fossil fuel and co. caused climate change and should be held responsible. How you could infer that they want the U.S. to be poor from that, I have no clue.

The only reasonable explanation is a pro-fossil fuel agenda.

Thanks. Bit.ly remained - but that article does indeed show at least one .ly domain (vb.ly) being cancelled.

From the article:

That follows the abrupt enforced shutdown of vb.ly, a "link shortening" site run by Ben Metcalfe and Violet Blue, after it was declared that the content of the site was "against Sharia law".

An image of Violet with bare arms, drinking from a bottle of lager, was emblazoned across the front page of the site when the government-owned Libya Telecom & Technology got in touch earlier this month. "Pornography and adult material aren't allowed under Libyan law, therefore we removed the domain," the letter said, adding: "The issue of offensive imagery is quite subjective, as what I may deem as offensive you might not, but I think you'll agree that a picture of a scantily clad lady with some bottle in her hand isn't exactly what most would consider decent or family friendly at the least."
Generally you need background knowledge to read papers. A quick way to gain necessary background knowledge is to read literature reviews or surveys. If you can't understand even reviews, surveys, or introductions, it is time to read textbooks.

I have used Go for my day job, I'd say you can get the job done in Go. But the resulting code won't be as elegant as you could do in Rust. I'd chose Rust just because how good the type system is: sum type, pattern matching, iterators, typestate pattern, etc makes programming a pleasure. Navigating async code takes little getting used to though. And be ready for reading many new symbols i.e. ', ~, etc.

I've been programming for 12+ years and it gets real boring when you've to type/copy same thing again and again, and Go doesn't want to help you here.
If you really want to start minimizing the contributions of people, only the writers matter? Without a story you'd just have shiny demos and people running around.

There's a long-running arms race around presentation of storytelling, and to date it's resulted in more jobs. But make no mistake: the people holding the production wallets are interested in stripping down all those jobs: writing, acting, CGI, etc.

Hopefully it ends up looking more like "better tools enabling people to do more and more visually-compelling things while remaining a thriving industry" than "suit in an office reviews a million AI-generated story concepts and then pushes buttons to turn them into videos cloning today's styles."
Water is lighter than air and only needs a modest temperature to have it's vapor pressure exceed ambient pressure at high altitude.
Bonus for self-inflating when you reach altitude/letting you accumulate thermal energy in some form and take off by dumping the heat into your liquid water bladder to inflate your water vapor balloon.
Wonder how well/cheaply (in weight for $affordable budget) you could insulate the balloon to curb your thermal power demand. Maybe enough that you could use your liquid water bladder with a little insulation as a thermal mass to run an absorption heat pump (Type2: warm power, cold sink, hot target output) off of ambient temperature during the day, cooling the thermal mass back down during the night.

Or lightweight solar panels, I suppose, feeding an air-source heat pump to boil the water. Normal Li-ion batteries sadly don't really have enough energy density (water takes 620 Wh/kg to boil; commercial energy-dense Li-ion is in the 200~300 Wh/kg range; at sea level and boiling point (=lowest possible temperature without it wanting to condense on every dust particle and other condensation nucleus) water vapor is half as dense as 20°C air so it could lift itself twice (and once it's used to lift itself already), and even a very good heat pump will have severe difficulty reaching a COP of 4.0).
So I guess if you try really hard you could make a self-inflating steam balloon that takes off using Li-ion fed heat pumps and later stays airborne using solar cells to continue feeding the heat pumps...

Kerala had 50 degrees C a few years ago. Kerala! the state they call "God's own country" in tourism ads. It is anyway a hot state, being right down south in India, but 50 was crazy. Then what will hell be like, I wonder.

The whole premise of price discovery is that participants in the market profit from information imbalances. The profit motive is the incentive for people to expend effort to generate and then, through price signals, disseminate information.
> UX is hard

Odd. At one point, it was possible to specify the size of an image before it loads, thus reserving the space and avoiding content jumping around. I guess it could work if the UX designers were aware that there would be ads, so they could design space for them and then find a way to communicate that to the developers.

It might help if Google could communicate with the company producing the ads (DoubleClick?), so they might know in advance the exact sizes they will get. Even better, they could provide some sort of specifications that the ads be a specific size.

If only there was a way...
"All that may be true," the renowned BaseballPhysics accepted magnanimously, "but that doesn't make this blog post any less hilarious." The famous physicist who wasn't actually a physicist and certainly didn't know anything about baseball paused dramatically. "If there's one thing we've learned from Twilight," he continued, his analogy illuminating like a soaring eagle, "it's that the quality of writing doesn't necessarily correlate with commercial success."
We noticed a correlation between worse treatment and worse behavior, and course-corrected. The trouble was that even going wildly the opposite direction made things better... but just a somewhat-nicer circle of hell, and achieved only at immense time-cost (consistent long stretches of positive 1-on-1 attention, regardless of behavior, amounting to hours a day per kid, were necessary to have any notable effect) that wasn't going to be tenable long-term while keeping all the other plates of life (and we've got a pretty damn easy one, otherwise) spinning—plus, you can't really do that when they're in school, and neither can the teachers. And that still wasn't enough to get us out of hell, it was still really bad.

Meds (& therapy—but if this miss that for a couple weeks, nothing bad immediately happens, while if they miss the meds even one day...) did the trick. Amazing. We can just tell them stuff, and they mostly listen. We can talk to them about something they just, moments ago, did that was wrong, and they know what we're talking about rather than being genuinely confused, and will not just commit to do better, but will actually try and maybe not immediately repeat the behavior, even entire minutes (LOL) later, and almost never start to just absentmindedly do it again while we're still talking to them about it. Punishments or harsh reprimands are (and were, after we caught on to those being not just ineffective, but counter-productive, even in very mild forms) reserved for immediate safety problems that can't wait for a touchy-feely approach, or many-times-repeated bad behavior, and don't usually result in hours of backlash-behavior later, as they used to, and do usually have an overall-positive effect. They notice straightforward natural-consequence-type correction and respond to it, rather than its having zero effect whatsoever.

But, yes, we can add 2 to N for worsening treatment being the opposite of helpful for (at least our) unmedicated very-ADHD kids, for sure. That was definitely something we saw.
