Yeah, but it’s still within the realm of possibility for anyone that got into Penn or Brown or Columbia or Princeton or MIT because they are just inherently better.

For the record I doubt I can have a happy life or a house in a decent neighborhood too.
In Europe, including the UK and EEA, there is the eIDAS regulation, which outlines the requirement for eSignatures (amongst other things).

In order for a signature to be recognised, it has to meet one of three trust levels

1. Electronic signature: this is basically something that puts a distinguishing mark on a file.

2. Advanced electronic signature: these use cryptography according to the specifications set out in the regulation, but anyone can make them. There are some requirements about how a person’s identity is linked to their signature.

3. Qualified electronic signature: these are advanced electronic signatures which have been produced with a recognised trust service provider. Each country has a list of trust service providers, and each other country mutually recognises their trust lists.

It is a bit more detailed than that, but in general, simple transactions can pretty much use any electronic signature (but this varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. The uk generally doesn’t need anything fancier than docusign). In order for something to be completely watertight, it needs to be a qualifying electronic signature.

In order for these features to be useful in Europe, google will need to meet the requirements of the regulations, and specify a trust level.

When we had the Nisqually 6.8 earthquake back in the early 2000s, all the circuits went busy immediately. Cell phones and land lines were all busy. Nobody could get through to anybody. There wasn't really much infrastructure damage, and it wasn't a deadly quake by any means.

Oh okay then thats pathetic
I claim that ordinary electric coil stoves are as good as gas for nearly every non-commercial use case, and the moderate popularity of gas stoves was almost entirely manufactured by the gas industry. I understand that some things are harder, like using a wok, but there are easy workarounds, and most Americans never try to do these things anyway.

Electric stoves are also strictly better at a lot of things - very high heat, very low heat, cleaning, repairing, not polluting the air, etc.
Very applicable to programming too. I'm pretty conservative as a programmer and I've had coworkers want to completely change a segment but you never know why some weird programming was done. There be dragons sometimes.

I love time travel movies because I am fascinated by mind games with time. The topic of time has also accompanied me for a long time in my profession, where I have dealt with complex time calculations.

The end state of biodegradation is "mineralization" where complex molecules are fully broken down to simple ones like water and carbon dioxide. Cellulose acetate will mineralize as fully as food waste does, but it takes longer than food waste.

See e.g. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/app.1993.070... for a discussion of microbial cellulose acetate mineralization (full article accessible through sci-hub).
It seems easier to just fix my system instead of trying to prevent breaking it :p

Slashes are used in paths, so most programs that aren’t Mac-exclusive would use them to build a path to file. To make it work properly in cross-platform programs you’d need to write platform-specific code to handle that. It just adds complexity and possible errors. Even system terminal doesn’t display it as slash and it doesn’t work if you write slashes.

For users of other platforms (at least 90% of desktop market) it would just display as slashes. Just not implementing this workaround would make it predictable when moving and using files.
Yeah, everything I ever bought through Goodthreads (or even the downmarket Amazon house brands) was really nice.

I mean, not nice nice, but fine for casual everyday wear. It was generally the most reliable way to shop for clothes on Amazon, IMO.
OK. But the problem here is that people disagree on what Harvard does. That has to be established before we can even work backwards to a purpose, assuming this framework you suggest is even valid, which I separately doubt.

My a priori assumption of the purpose of a car is to transport people. Cars kill thousands of people each year. Is the purpose of a car then to kill people?
It's pretty fascinating to me how "normal" Marilu Henner seems to be. I'm getting older and my memory is not what it was, but when I was younger it was pretty extraordinary. I did really well in school and college but over time I've realized it was mostly due to being able to remember most things pretty effortlessly, over being truly "smart" in a classic sense.

But having so much of the past being so accessible is tough. There are lots of memories I'd rather not have, that are vivid and easily called up. And still, I think it's only a fraction of what her memory seems to be like.
They did not express any indication that they didn’t understand why ice cream is often recommended, so you don’t need to be explaining it.

If you're unsure which enterprise linux fork to go with, here is a panel discussion between AlmaLinux, RockyLinux, and Oracle - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFMPjt_RgXA. They all lay out their philosophy and discuss the changes going forward. Unfortunately a SUSE representative couldn't make it, but you can fill in the gaps from their press material.

I tend to respect the AlmaLinux way of doing things, but I respect where the others are coming from.

There's nothing vague or general about it. We have years of examples of how such data gets used. You may be fine with that, and that's OK. I don't understand why you get so upset that others aren't fine with it, though. Why is this so emotional for you?
Yeah, that sound right, I have just never personally used SUSE. Its high on my distro hopping list if Arch fails.

And I too am skeptical of Mint. Again, immutable (and not so old) sounds better if you really dont want your system to break.

Personally I am partial to CachyOS. Its Arch, but Clear Linux, with an auto installer and as many optimizations/patches ported over to the stock Arch packages as possible (but not to the point of incompatibility like Manjaro).

This website is ancient, I am not surprised at all.
The National Electrical Code contains the rules for this sort of thing, plus whatever extra rules your local jurisdiction adds. I bought a copy of the code itself plus an "Illustrated Guide to the National Electrical Code" to learn this stuff. There are lots of YouTube videos for electricians, by electricians. DIY channels can also be helpful, but they don't always follow code.

In my case, the local utility requires the electrical meter to be accessible (obviously) and to be a certain distance from the gas meter (obviously). Because of the way my house is shaped, there simply isn't room to move the electrical meter, so a sub-panel was the simplest option. Anything else would involve tearing open the driveway, which would be worse. It really depends on the situation.
Sorta. Being a small time musician was a sizeable industry before the invention of the playback device.

As with most things, I think the true value of LLMs will come from use in moderation. In theory, having AI write an annoyingly polite email to a frustrated customer saves emotional and artistic capital that a knowledge worker can spend later on their own pursuits.

It makes me think of something Brandon Sanderson wrote that has been bouncing around in my head a lot lately:

"Physical labor is great for the mind, as it leaves all kinds of time to consider the world. Other work, like accounting or scribing, demands little of the body—but siphons energy from the mind.

If you wish to become a storyteller, here is a hint: sell your labor, but not your mind. Give me ten hours a day scrubbing a deck, and oh the stories I could imagine. Give me ten hours adding sums, and all you’ll have me imagining at the end is a warm bed and a thought-free evening.”

No. I'm not currently planning to add macports support. If a lot of people request it, I might consider it, but it would be a lot of work.
Procedural generation has been around since the dawn of computer games: Rogue, one of the earliest games, randomly generates a dungeon each time you enter it.

Despite that, procedural generation is still quite rare in shipping games outside of a few niche genres. I think the biggest problem is one of control. A huge part of the process of making and shipping a game is balancing it and testing it to ensure the play experience never goes off the rails.

Even relatively simple procedural generation can make that very difficult. Imagine playing a Zelda-like game where it turns out that 0.0001% of the time, the item you need to make progress is stuck behind a wall where the player can't reach it. Worse, they won't discover this until many hours into the game. That kind of stuff keeps game designers and producers up at night.

They would rather a less varied, hand-authored gameplay experience, if the result is one that they have more control over and understand better.

Bolting an LLM onto your game for NPC dialog sounds really cool until a popular Twitch streamer is playing your game for an audience of millions and some random NPC spouts a racist slur.

What I do think will be very common is game designers using LLMs offline to generate dialog and other assets, and then after the designer has vetted them, putting them into the game as fixed authored content. That kind of procedural generation is used all the time and has been for decades.
Are they actually making any money? I would be surprised to learn they are profitable.
It's not just a series of weights. It is an unchanging series of weights. This isn't necessarily artificial intelligence. It is the intelligence of the dead.
Our experiences are different. Before I switched away to a rolling release distro (Manjaro) a couple years ago, I used Ubuntu and would perform the upgrades from one Ubuntu point release to the next. My success rate (something either moderately or critically not working after the upgrade) over those last couple years was probably about 25%. Always needed to wipe clean and reinstall, restore from backup. Tons of lost productivity. All that stopped when I went to the rolling release.
Yes, that's the part I'm unclear about. And, honestly, backup cameras aren't a thing that I'm bothered by. It'd be interesting to know what the law actually means, though!
Another day, another workflow DSL.

* looks like yaml
* has curly braces to look programmery
* whitespace might be meaningful
* has pipes like a bash script

https://www.commonwl.org/

https://github.com/common-workflow-language/common-workflow-...

mea culpa: The above was based on a first look at something titled "A DSL for parallel and and scalable computational pipelines"a as opposed to "Java workflow manager with Groovy language scripting." The presented screenshot still looks to me like an unholy union of yaml, js, py and sh. If that sounds groovy to you; have fun.
Evidence of opposite in that example:

programmers in 95% cases want something like following to read lines from text file:

for s in open('file.txt'):
print(s)

Java has 5 different io APIs and no one provides such construct, you need to stack various verbose abstractions to just read text file.

Not an artist, but many people refer to the creative part of making software as an “art”, so here’s a take. ChatGPT allows for rapid iteration of ideas. I have an idea, I get ChatGPT to flesh it out, I iterate. The value ChatGPT is providing is not to be the source of creativity, it’s in speeding up the process from idea to concrete implementation. It’s a tool. In software development and engineering more generally, we are used to using all kinds of tools to accelerate the process of idea -> reality. Is a song writer not allowed tools to help do the same?

Not the person you asked, but Enphase has a reputation of being much more reliable then the Tesla stuff. You can have up to 40kWh of batteries. I think the peak wattage is also higher per kWh than powerwalls.

Also, we tried to get Tesla to install solar on our roof, and will never do business with them (especially that half of the company) again. There's a reason their solar market share is plummeting. Many news stories have been written on this subject. I won't repeat them here.

LG and Generac also make home batteries. From what I can tell, their offerings are also fine.

The main limitation of all the existing systems (vs. the recently-announced Anker) is that they scale amperage linearly with capacity. This is a pain because the batteries produce way more current than you need, but you have to pay for an electrical bus that can handle peak output. This is why the enphase is limited to 40kWh.

I'd strongly recommend against trying to do the installation of the Enphase yourself. It's extremely hands on.
This is actually a decent user guide / command quick reference, not a Unix-Haters Handbook thing.

In my head, I keep making this comparison to photography.

I like to take pictures. Usually, I take many, many -- hundreds -- of pictures for a project and I'll find one or two that I like most in that bunch. I think this is a pretty common practice in photography, euphemistically referred to as portfolio editing.

I see a strong analogy between portfolio editing and operation of AI like ChatGPT. The camera and the AI are both machines being operated by humans who have developed enough expertise with their respective machine to get the output that they want. If the camera can produce art, why can't the AI?
I disagree. For all common tasks (and most uncommon tasks) that Americans do with a stove, non-induction electric stoves are as good or better than gas.
Alternatively, people will just consume different media or… I dunno, go outside?

Of course we do. We regularly sanction countries in ways which are designed to pressure the civilian population into overthrowing their government.

I reflected on my Vim journey after Bram passed away. It has been my only constant professional companion in the past 10 years - from university projects to FAANGs to everything-on-fire startups. All professional work I have done - the ones I am proud of, the ones that I am ashamed of, the ones that got me promotions and the ones that resulted in $M SEVs - was done on Vim. Oses/DBs/PLs/companies/co-workers come and go, but Vim has been forever.

Thanks Bram.
The encoding of information isn't specific to humans or "human spirit" is it?

Encoding happens.

We seem to be the first local observers of encoding, but we didn't initiate encoding.

In fact, we're entirely the result of (and dependent upon) an information encoding process we had no role in creating.

"AI" is simply another encoder within an encoder within an encoder... etc.

The value of discovering and propagating valuable/useful/potent encodings is the underlying pressure producing all encoding systems. Look there for "spirit"?
