Does anybody actually browse CNET on purpose? I mean, the content has been the quality of LLM-generated for a decade or more and the only way any sane person ends up seeing it is if you get redirected through a link-shortener/link-obfuscator, surely. Surely?

Must be something else, don't you think? If there's a company in the world who can just "adjust their model to make it bigger" that's Google. But they haven't done so. Perhaps Google doesn't care.
I think I got your point: if you want to use this range of LLMs it is best practice to restrict the input to a valid set.

But my point was: even if you restricted the input to a valid set ("whitelist chocolate celery ... diet-coke and Mentos; blacklist everything else; warn-fail on detergents etc."), the potential results have easily not been stress-tested, nor the training set, nor the internal process. "Works somehow" differs from "works well".
Adding to this: mimetic desire works on a subconscious level, imitation in buying attractive stocks is entirely conscious.
Java is a much bigger language, if feasible it will have much better support for wasm/native/etc. frankly, I don’t see a point of this aspect of kotlin.
With Firefox you can toggle some settings that will make much harder to generate useful fingerprints. That's already a massive privacy difference.
Aha, thank you for explaining why the American use of the word bothers me! I guess it became a false friend?
Beyond the other posts, I wonder whether some of the reactions are due to the fact that destructuring here is purely syntactic sugar – there's no "fear of missing out" on new semantics that offer a drastic new improvement in programming style, to the extent that they feel obligatory to incorporate in your mental model of Java (e.g the introduction of anonymous functions.)

Taking this to its logical conclusion, we should all be speaking Esperanto.

My guess is that there's a combination of network effects (i.e., 1.4 billion people already use it), cultural identity, and inertia.
Thing is, Google forces their translations upon everyone. For example if I want to check Taipei restaurant reviews on Google Maps with my interface language set to English, each of them shows up translated (poorly), and I have to click or tap every time to "see the original."

Translation quality is one issue, e.g. "加油！" being translated to 'add oil!' instead of something like 'keep up the good work!' which is what it is supposed to mean in this context figuratively. But there is also a bigger cultural issue in that Google developers do not allow for people being multilingual: just because I made a choice for the interface language doesn't mean I need everything else translated to it (with no opt-out).

The starting premise (paraphrasing here) "strong typing to avoid duplication" for me is simply false. In my experience its main purpose is to reduce mistakes, increase discoverability/predictability and allows for easier refactoring

No you can definitely patent software. It seems to be a confusing mess as to exactly how you do it and what is patentable, but you can.

https://www.novagraaf.com/en/insights/patentability-software...

> As a result, the widespread belief in the non-patentability of software is simply a misconception, partly as a result of insufficient training of innovators and the lobbying activities of certain interested parties.

https://fsfe.org/activities/swpat/swpat.en.html

> The European Patent Convention states that software is not patentable. But laws are always interpreted by courts, and in this case interpretations of the law differ. So the European Patents Office (EPO) grants software patents by declaring them as "computer implemented inventions".

I think Heroku played less than a role than it sounds like. Sure, they offered it for Rails, but working with Rails especially back then a typical Rails application made very little use of any of the features.

It typically was and to a degree still is tables rather than arrays, application defined integers instead of Postgres Enums, in general very little user defined types, Rail's validation system instead of Postgres constraints (even automatic querying for duplicates).

Sure it might have made people hear about Postgres, but I think few people using ORMs really could tell you anything about any of all the amazing features that Postgres has. I think Arrays might be the main one.
Thank you so much. I am on basically all of my devices.

Not quite. If you're using a capable LLM (e.g. GPT-4), you can easily fix this with a prompt, e.g. "remove non-edible items from the ingredients".

It's perfectly capable of returning an error when the input is garbage, but it needs a context for it.

Without a context it might interpret it as a creative writing task.
They also removed all occurrences of term 'far-right' there...
Braille is an amazing invention. As a sighted person, my fingers can't differentiate the patterns at all but of course that would come with practice. I worked with a guy once who used a Braille terminal and he was just as fast as anyone else.
One thing I always wondered with Braille signage and the like - how do you know it is there to touch it? Is there some convention for placement?
also strong typing and static typing are two different things

Karens already give medical advice and people already listen to it and now whooping cough is back. We don't need to wait for AI. Please stop trotting out this bogeyman as if LLMs are currently transformative -
they are not.

TBH LLMs probably give better medical advice on average than the median layperson (if deprived of Google).
Definitely, but you can read a word you never came across (in a language were the Latin alphabet mapping is actually sane, like Italian or Spanish) by just knowing a few pronunciation rules, that depends on the language.
Clearly English is not a good example for this, I know.

Neat thank you. That makes sense.
That font is terrible for reading. Maybe for like headings it’s ok, but long paragraphs, no.
It sounds like badly documented code then. A function, especially if some kind of API boundary, should absolutely state whether it can or can’t return null.

Ideally everything should be non-nullable, with optionally specified nullability.

But the purpose underlining a meal-planner AI is to create meals. If it's creating something that is not a meal it's not doing it's purpose, if the use-case is for meals then there should be guardrails against non-meals recipes, simply because it does not fit the purpose of the product.

It's not a LLM product, it's not advertised as a general LLM that will generate text based on input of shopping items, it's specifically advertised as an AI meal planner and it's not fit for that purpose since it does not guard against non-meals.

That's the issue, the user is supposed to be a layman, not someone that knows and understands LLMs and its limitations.
It makes an absolute mess of Japanese too. Where I work we explicitly suggest people use DeepL instead.
One of the important bits about use of space is that you can do it so you're not taking land use away from food growth, because you can grow algae in places you can't grow crops.
The fact that they resorted to writing crap these days with AI is what is making them lose relevance, not that they have been in the business for a long time, and have thousands upon thousands of articles.

CNET used to, perhaps not be cool, but it certainly was a place you'd go get tech news from every once in a while. Just imagine they were huge enough to buy download.com, back then, even! For a while, they were essentially *the* place you'd go for downloads of various shareware stuff.

Now, it's a ghost town of a site with AI-written junk.
Housing costs are much higher, but you still need to live somewhere. An extra bedroom or two isn't a ×10 increase, it's ×1.2.

Even at £200k (allowing some inflation since 2012), that's leveled over two decades. Obviously that blossoms then explodes if you fall into the fashion trap of assuming price means quality, particularly for schooling. But these are largely optional costs. Relocating for better state schooling often also grants more affordable housing, at the cost of commuting. If you're already a million up, there are many option.

Even if that is somehow equivalent to your yacht, if that's the springs-to-mind opportunity cost, do you actually want children? Or would you rather have a boat?
And before that, people made medical decisions based on something they saw on Dr. Oz. Down to buying a more expensive supplement because he said it had to be that brand. (I worked in the pharmacy for some years in the 00s and early 10s).

And they'd get medical advice from grandmothers, aunts, parents, and friends. And be convinced they were right even though they weren't.

Alternative "medicine" has been around for many many years. I'm pretty sure there are books about it.

This isn't a new thing, it just uses whatever tech people happen to use (or lack thereof).
That's tech monopolies (FAANG etc.), which have more money than sense. In the normal businesses, there's hardly any busywork, because the relatively low margins don't allow for it.
I have no clues about the goal of that question and whom asked it but people sometimes are able to detect mistakes in questions. A simple example: "I think that actually you wanted to ask me 6 times 6, not 6 times 5,because we just measured this room and it's 6 by 6 meters, and the answer is 36."

Maybe that member of the Parliament wanted to know if the machine is intelligent enough to reason about their inputs. Nobody born in the last 50 years would ask that question about computers, because we know that they are dumb electrical circuits. Basically nobody had that kind of insight about the mechanical computing machines of the time, when that question was asked.

However somebody born in the last few years might start to ask that question again now, because today's machines seem to reason.
What would be really awesome would be a tool for generating JSI bindings to Rust code. Then you wouldn't need to go via Kotlin or Swift. I believe there are no technical barriers to such a tool. Someone just needs to implement it.

Most of their debunking claims are hair splitting or leaving me with the impression of there being more to the story.

Typo. I meant contempt.
Be on the lookout for misinformation obscuring the fact that Cantonese (a.k.a. Yue), spoken in Hong Kong, is a language. It’s not mutually intelligible with Mandarin (unlike, say, Mandarin spoken in Taiwan, which is more or less Mandarin with a different accent and slightly different vocabulary) or other languages of Chinese family. Cantonese uses different transliteration systems as well (Pinyin doesn’t work for it).

Who’s mainly responsible for there to this day being no ISO standard for transliterating Cantonese, and its conspicuous absence from Google Translate (despite the whopping 86 million speakers—consider that Translate supports, say, Welsh, Basque, Dhivehi, and many others that are spoken by fewer than even one million), is probably obvious. That entity is much helped by the issue being opaque to most foreigners, who are sufficiently baffled by a completely different writing system to just not care and bundle all languages written in Chinese script into one basket.
Maybe our definition of significant percentage is different, but I honestly don’t find it too much.

A notable exception is some kind of generated objects, from say, wsdls getting transformed to different dtos, but in this case MapStruct is a godsend, and is overall less error-prone than doing it even in a null-safe language. (Manually copying fields won’t tell you if a new field is added that should also be copied, for example).

I still get a segmentation fault out of that when I run it. I think there's flags you can use to get the linker to not complain about missing main if you give gcc an empty file.

The craziest thing I got gcc (the AVR version, specifically) to compile for real purposes was a preprocessor macro that spit out tens of thousands of asm blocks with memory barriers and nop (do nothing) instructions with "PORTB = 1;" in the middle and "PORTB = 0" at the end. I needed it to bitbang out a clock signal to read an RFID tag on poorly documented hardware. (fun fact: the clock the cpu uses on an arduino uno is considerably worse and less accurate than the one that's on the board for the USB chip.)

+/- I have now spent several hours on the app and it's not what I really expected. It's long voicemails. Nothing more or less. It forces you to listen.

This reminds me of, e.g., Eliza or situations that throw you into the role of therapist, or asking for therapy. Or Love Line from the 90s. It's actually quite good because it requires a lot of concentration and thought.

I don't know if it will take off. I don't have high hopes. But I think it would be great if it did. It has the exact type of trade-off and waiting/thinking period prior to response that is so missing from all of the current social platforms. You can respond, but you must listen and respond thoughtfully.

Maybe part of what I'm appreciating is that it has an inherent anti-bot mechanism, which is that it's all just human voice.

It's touching and sweet, as well. It's hard to define what I mean by that, but this piece of code has soul that almost everything these days lacks.

In the past few hours I've exchanged voicemails of support with people from Malaysia to Seattle, and it's surprisingly normal, like being the 3rd guy down the bar to throw in a piece of advice, but you can actually talk to people because you gotta listen to them. It's almost one of those things that's so stupidly brilliant, it's incredible no one thought of it before.

I hope it takes off.

hey, i just made an account to reply to you here. i think you hit the nail on the head.
which leads to an extremely frustrating experience for our company, because shopify for some reason decided to block access to markets if you are not using shopify payments. i live in a place where it is basically a necessity to offer a multi currency shopping experience, and our locally preferred payment methods are not supported by shopify payments. i have asked so many people at shopify over the years, but no one can tell me what to do. i don't mind paying my 2% to shopify, but i do mind if something so simple "just does not work". can you tell me why i cannot use markets, multi-currency with a third party payment processor in the native check out? i get that shopify wants to funnel people over to their psp, but in our edge case it just does not provide what we need.
sorry for the rant, i am really frustrated because no one has been able to give me answers to my questions, not even a "we want to make sure we get our share and in your case that leads to a bad experience, sorry"
How do you know this, though?
It's been long enough that my memories are fuzzy, but I believe it was this:

https://ssl.umd.edu/ranger

The project was highly successful from an R&D perspective, but it never flew in space for a variety of reasons. SOme of those were related to a lack of funding and/or national commitment to spacecraft servicing, and some were due to us not executin the program as expeditiously as we probably should have.
The fulltext of the study, which is free, is here:
https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/1538-4357/ace101/...

What's important to note is that while the work is suggestive, it's far from conclusive. The author notes, however, that "even stronger results than the present results are expected with later data releases of Gaia." So, presumably, we'll have more evidence very soon --- and, if not, the way to bet is that this finding will turn out to be due to the instrumentation's margins of uncertainty.

The author also notes that "a recent study by Mistele (2023) showed that predictions of the AeST theory agree broadly with the results of this work." Which suggests that the AeST theory might be worth a look!
Google Translate is a relatively small product with a relatively small budget. It doesn't bring in a huge amount of users or revenue.

The engineers working on it seem to be focussing on supporting small languages (ie. languages that only a few million people speak - africa and india have lots of those, both big growth markets). They're also working on better apps - for example being to translate text inside images, text from a video feed, live translation of captions, etc.

It makes sense that they probably wouldn't be deploying a huge chunk of compute there to get a few marginal quality gains.
I wished they'd simply start fixing their bugs after a decade.
>The US helped provoke Putin's invasion of Ukraine, by trying to get Ukraine to join NATO

Why do these blatant Russian lies keep getting posted here?

Putin and many other Russian warmongers consider Ukraine to be a "fake nation", a "historical mistake", that should not exist. The bullshit about "NATO neo-Nazis" is just propaganda aimed at a foreign audience.

Price to income ratios before covid were within normal variation, not even 25% higher than normal iirc. Easy to find sources I'm on my phone:) they are a bit higher now but birth rates were low before, too.

Of course the fact that the developing countries/ poorer immigrants / poorer past generations / poorer but religious groups within countries / you name it, have higher rates should make this obvious.

I personally don't have kids because for me, they would be a pointless boring chore. But I guess many fellow coastal bubble dwellers cannot admit it and need a cope ;)

An anecdote, someone from Russia asked me how big our house was when we bought it after getting married. Without going into the details, that was the smallest house we were possibly considering for 2 people, I said 1100sqft. They said, oooh, so you are planning to have many children then, with so much space!
Nope, we are just spoiled ;)
