I can attest to this. I really think it depends on your background and what your project is. Rust has a lot of baggage from it's use in systems programming that many folks coming from C++ already know, and a lot of strange functional programming things that ML-family language folks already know, so there's just a lot of new things crammed together. Now add move-by-default semantics, and tight restrictions on pointers, and it can get really hard. They key is getting to the point where you just try to use value semantics as much as possible, and stop trying to write everything perfectly the first time (i.e. use lots of `.clone` and `.unwrap` so you can get your code written down to do the thing you're trying to do).

I am hopeful that languages like Mojo and Val are going to find cleaner ways of doing what Rust does best, and that Rust can learn from them.
I've seen this argument elsewhere so I think I know what he means. Basically the idea is you throw money around too easily and companies that would otherwise die (due to poor management/inability to compete) stay around. Too much subsidy yields poor incentive to compete yields fewer breakthroughs and slower technological progress.
> Your concerns about UBI are very dependent on the region and culture. In many countries, socializing at the supermarket is not common.

I mean I've lived in a few countries, I've socialized with the cashier from the local supermarket in France after seeing the same person 20+ more times. I currently live in Hong Kong and after going often enough to some restaurants I've socialized with the waiters, chef, etc. Including becoming friend with the owner. I've done the same while living in Japan where I became good friend with a cashier at my local supermarket who was a student working part time and was invited to her wedding and became friends with restaurants owners too by coming often enough (I'd say Japan makes it easier than in other countries because people expect to meet other in small restaurants when sitting around the counter, see Midnight Diner on netflix for an example of that culture). I've also had similar experience in Malaysia, especially with street sellers. I feel that once you keep seeing the same faces repeatedly, over time you can start making a connexion. And at least that's held true in every countries I've lived in.

I haven't lived long enough in the US to say if that would work and I do think that it works better with walkable cities where local supermarkets/grocery stores in the center of the city are tiny...

According to the definition you linked to no suffering occurs because no one lost anything. You can’t lose something you never had.
Sure, but any language can provide that kind of pre-built block in a library. (Indeed, I suspect the library we're discussing has this operation, though I didn't check.) But if you want to implement a new operation that performs well, not every language can do that. In python, people tend to drop down to C or C++ or increasingly Rust to do that. But it seems (to me) like it would be nice to be able to use a single language for both things.

If they can kick the former president off his platform they can bully joe schmo off there platform. Whether you agree with the former president, he was in theory the most powerful person on the planet and had to submit to the powers of large tech companies. I think the idea that most people don't care is not a supported or found assumption either rather you just asserted it.
We know that formal logic can be based on a small number of fundamental rules. Same with computation (lamda calculus, Turing machines, ...), mathematics (axioms), etc.

We know that theorems can be proven using a combination of search, rule application and heuristics. E.g. back in 1950s, Logic Theorist (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logic_Theorist) proved 38 of the first 52 theorems in chapter two of Whitehead and Russell's Principia Mathematica, and found new and shorter proofs for some of them.

We know that language models are good at transforming text, e.g. they can convert a sentence in English to Python code.

We know that language models have only a fixed computing budget per token, i.e. they cannot stop to think.

We know that logic puzzles and proofs might require a considerable amount of computations, e.g. to search through a tree of possibilities, backtrack and so on.

If we believe that reasoning is kinda like logic, we'll be better off using LLM to translate reasoning tasks into computing task to be solved by specialized computing tools (such as Python interpreter or theorem prover or SAT solver) instead of asking LLM to reason directly.

Of course, GPT-4 is trained to be over-confident in its reasoning capability, and it will try to reply immediately, essentially just guessing the answer, and quite often it would fail. But the question "Can GPT-4 reason with the default assistant prompt?" is different from "Can GPT-4 reason?".

Even without external tool, we can ask GPT-4 to translate the problem into primitive fragments in excruciating detail, and to consider all possibilities, and it might work much better than the default prompt.

Given that GPT-4 is essentially just weights, I'd consider "Can GPT-4 reason?" question be more like "Is there a prompt X such that being prepended to reasoning tasks it produces correct answers?", not "If I enter my question into a box, does it give the right answer?". So this paper's author does a bit of a category mistake, it's more like "Can ChatGPT (the product) reason?".
Cable News may have boiled it down to its essence, but the problem transcends tv. The same problem exists in writing, its just more spread out.

If you synthesize all that happens in Washington in a day, it is a giant soap opera. IT keeps its power by keeping people paying attention to it. Even a "just the facts, maam" view of the news is largely rabblerousing.
I wonder how much of what I see on https://www.memeorandum.com/river today will matter in 10 years. How much of it belongs in a history book. How much of it is needed to make an informed decision in an election. How much of it is needed to understand the world around me.
I don't think it's jealousy, I think most people just have no sense of relative scale, or they too easily accept their first instinct, and don't understand how hard it is to get a sense of relative scale.
"Linkedin built Kafka for massive-scale problems that 99% of us don't have."

What a tool is built for is not the same as what it is good for is not the same as what it is used for... and just like people spend an inordinate amount of time worrying about what happens if they get rich, companies spend a lot of time future proofing for scenarios where they are hugely successful. If nothing else is true about the tech industry, it's certainly true that people misjudge tools and misapply them with alarming regularity, to the point where it is at least as likely that the tool being used is a bad fit for the problem as it is a good fit.
I'm getting annoyed with all of these yawning security holes in Intel's CPUs. I'm tempted to replace my Intel MacBook Pro with an Apple Silicon model sooner than I normally would.

For each thing T, that T is defensible under at least one ethical framework.

Teaching an optimiser AI any of those frameworks, or even any preference ordering or combination function within Utiliarianism (because value({T, T}) doesn't have to equal 2 * value({T})), will lead to it optimising what you said, without necessarily limiting that to situations anything close to the training distribution.

To put it another way: if you run an AB test on a social media site and it observes that people are more likely to engage with content that makes them angry, then tell it to boost engagement "because socialising is always good, obviously" then it will get your users as angry as possible and suddenly you get Buddhists going off and committing surprise genocide before anyone tells you something has gone wrong.

anecdotally, zoom succeeded by being a neutral third party with a name that's fun to say.

if your company is on microsoft and you want to arrange a meeting with people at a company that uses google apps, you have to decide on which company's video call platform to use. and inevitably, if your company's video call platform is used you'll have to help the people at the other company figure out how to use your platform, and you'll have to apologize for any connection issues. so the best solution was to use a new app that wasn't the one any party in the meeting used.
> Why not mandate things like healthcare no matter how many hours someone is employed.

Isn't that what Universal Healthcare does? They obviously charge premiums, but they are a percentage of income that goes all the way down to 0.

Universal healthcare takes healthcare from being a concern to companies at all, and now they can just hire who they want for however long they want. It also makes the labor pool much more fluid, and makes low end jobs much more viable (morally and economically).

As a WF customer... its lock-in. The amount of work I would need to do to switch banks thanks to bill pay, auto-drafts, etc, is not worth the headache.
Edit: removed my initial reactionary negative feedback - it was already said by other comments.

I would just echo what others have said about the long onboarding survey and paywall.

Hope you can continue iterating and you listen to the feedback, both good and bad! Good luck!
Azure Managed Disks are inherently replicated. But there are other storage solutions (like redundant WebHDFS) you can take advantage of. At the time, the customers I was talking to wanted to have identical deployments in the cloud (to what they had on-premises, down to the number and size of disks).
Job hopping is the best way to improve wage growth, as others said.

I will paraphrase something an old boss said to me, which is that the fact that you're asking about ways to improve puts you heads and shoulders above most people. There's tremendous value in focusing on growth -- personal and professional -- and spending a lot of time introspecting and thinking a lot about how to be a better person, a better team mate, a better leader. You'll get it wrong, you'll mess up, but the act of thinking about it is going to give you some advantages over most people you interact with.

For me personally, I think one of the best skills you can develop is the ability to problem solve. I'm an engineer, so I think about problems through a certain lens, but for PMs, it's equally important. It's not just about how to arrive at a solution, but how to determine whether you're even looking at the right problem. It's something that I thought came naturally to me, but I spend a lot of time running scenarios in my head about how I might solve the real-world problems I see in front of me. For example, if a particular system is slow, I run through scenarios on how to speed it up or decouple certain features to enable concurrency. If customers are dropping off in a funnel, I brainstorm scenarios through which I can proactively alert us that something is going wrong, or perhaps how to add additional telemetry to give us more signal in the noise.

One axiom out there is "bring solutions, not problems," and so constantly practicing the the problem solving is something that has served me very very well. My solutions aren't always the best, but the muscle memory is very ingrained and I can iterate very quickly with people about what possible solutions are, more so than many of my peers.

In a similar vein of this, like, is the problem the right problem to solve? Just because something is a problem doesn't mean it's an _important_ problem. For example, my CEO is asking me to do something that will make us $100,000, and she says it's really important. But our company makes $400 million dollars a year in revenue. Is an additional 100K going to move the needle? Nope, not even a little bit.

So is that the best use of our time? No. That doesn't mean we shouldn't build the feature, but it does mean that we are probably not solving the correct problem. By reframing "doing the thing" as "building a tool to automate the thing," then I can 10x, 25x, 50x the leverage the company has to do these 100K revenue tasks.

I don't always win this argument, but it's a good exercise to go through at any rate.

Anyway, that's some stream of consciousness stuff for you. Hope it helps. Best of luck!
Last time I checked when I hotspotted my T-Mobile (US) phone, hotspot clients got only an IPv6 address, with 6to4 [edit: no, NAT64] translation used to reach IPv4 addresses.

This breaks OpenVPN, which insists on both endpoints being one or the other.
I've seen the misconception a lot; people seem to think that random websites can grab your MAC like they can get your IP address.
Yes kind of, but the leasing companies have only one customer, see

"Lewis Hamilton avoided taxes on £16.5m jet using Isle of Man scheme

Of course they don't help everything but setting up a seniority system is a common and well tread union policy and solves the stated problem.

Hence arguably “impactful ideas” is a misnomer here, because it’s rarely the ideas themselves that are impactful (and you are rarely the first to have them), but what you make based on them.
I work in a bank. Until a year ago, our passwords are 8 characters max, no special characters, upper and lowercase letters are equal. We were running IE7 up until 2 years ago. A huge amount of the business is still organized around sending excel sheets to each other, with no sidechannel validation. The fact that you recieved an excel sheet from some email is treated as proof that it's valid. Last I checked we were also operating an unauthenticated SMTP relay. They will shit on actual security while telling me that I have to run windows on my work laptop because otherwise they can't run their favorite RAT powershell script to recursively unzip every jar on my system to look for log4shell (yes, still).

The same people who instituted and backed these rules and practices are also running the core system for clearing in the national bank of Denmark.

Banks are not secure. They are conservative and political. They will do everything to tell you they are secure. They will make your life hell to uphold their security theater, but it's just a facade. I have no doubt they will implement WEI, but it will not bring security.

Banks do have a pretty good trackrecord of protecting people's money, but they do that through a defense in depth strategy of having a bunch of compliance officers manually reviewing transactions for suspicious activity.
I was also taken by the capabilities of chatGPT but with time and with people reporting how it sometimes fails with simple tasks (even v4) I'm beginning to ascribe its superpowers a bit more to the super impressive magnitude of its training data. That isn't to say it can only somehow reflect the data, but even Logan Kilpatrick who is an OpenAI employee said in a youtube video somewhere that chatGPT absolutely can't reason (though there wasn't much of a followup as I recall).
I think the problem is precisely as you state - there isn't a reliable way to reproduce the findings because the findings were produced with a bit of a dice roll, to put it simply.
This also happened which Chomsky when he weighed in on the subject and some people pointed out his findings don't match theirs.
The headline isn't clickbait enough. Banks are using encrypted messaging to avoid leaving evidence.
I understand this is just a troll, but you may want to consider the

A business that creates $1 of value by imposing $2 of costs on other parties is wasteful: the economy would be better off if such business models didn't exist.

For carbon these costs look like increased healthcare due to pollution, decreased agricultural efficiency due to weather changes, government paying for environmental remediation or carbon capture, loss of tourism when the USA and Europe is covered in smoke for large parts of the summer, ski fields closing due to lack of snow.

Why can't we let the free market sort this out? More than most externalities, carbon pollution is expensive to reverse: CO2 that costs $10 to suck out of the air might only cost a company $1 to not emit in the first place.

There's also a time component: if there were no taxes or fees for dumping waste we'd have a really efficient decade in the stock market then all be dead by the end of the century.
They should pay for their externalities just like everything else.
> Those things would not exist if "net worth" were somehow capped at $100m.

Of course they would, and the world would likely be a much better place for it. Those companies you speak of are mega-corporations that tend to operate outside the laws we all get to follow, and typically result in monopolies or oligopolies.

There are VERY few industries that NEED a company worth hundreds of billions of dollars to operate. In almost all cases you’d be better off with hundreds of companies worth hundreds of millions competing for your business.
Very true. I job hopped a few years ago and came to a startup. I took a small pay cut, but it came with options and other perks. If the options hit, it’s still two to three years out. Tempted to purchase what I’ve vested and job hop again. Though I would eventually like to stay somewhere awhile and mentor. Thanks!
>Nobody should ever use the Default model. It's their most heavily performance optimized model and performs worse on reasoning tasks than the Plugins model, even on within-context-size tasks.

I wish to explore this. My experience is your reverse, default is smart and almost never hallucinates, but I have sent the plugin or web search model to URLs asking it produce a summary and witnessed it misunderstand nuanced content and at times hallucinate from whole cloth, generating answers about a completely unrelated topic.
> Yes? Not sure I see what the issue with that is.

The issue is that it sounds even more confusing in practice than status quo.

If you don't understand git, you can't rely on `git undo` cause you don't know what's undoable and what isn't. And if you do understand git, you don't need `git undo` in the first place, you can already undo things by yourself.

As others have said, the camera brightness can be altered, just like turning the brightness up on a tv.

What seems odd to me, is the lady pushing her bike across the road, takes over 2seconds from when the lights first illuminate her shoes, to the point she turns her head to face the car.

Dont know if alcohol et al was a factor, but in some incidences the UK police would have possibly have labelled this as "death by misadventure" or something to that effect. She just doesnt react.

Either way I wouldnt have been on my phone like the driver was, I've had a person release an animal in front of me at night from a central reservation of a dual carriageway with me nearest the armco barriers. The two cars behind me which I had previously overtaking that were now blocking the road slowing up the traffic also alerted me to something being up before I saw the block in the central reservation crouched down.

I thought it was odd to see someone crouched down and then I saw the what looked like a munctjac deer being released so I wasnt going to hang around for what seemed like a life threatening trap which could have been security services.

And I say that because I met Parker, Evans, and Rimmington, Parker in one walking location years ago and then Evans and Rimmingtom together whilst out hill walking in another location. Their driver who dropped them off from a black ford galaxy or vw sharon type vehicle kind of alerted me to something being up as I watched them from a distance.

My first fall back was to downgrade from 22.04 to 20.04 again. Steam worked fine, wifi worked. I was happy. Until, that is, I tried reinstall Darktable, in version 4.x as that was the one that used for basically all my photo edits in the last year. Turned out Ubuntu 20.04 only supports darktable 3.x, and darktable 4.x edits are not backwards compatible (kind of logic, so the loss of around 100 edits is totally and absolutely on me and only me). For now, I use the Linux installation as my daily (as soon as I re-imported my passwords to Firefox, as of course I lost those as well during reinstall number 3...) and Windows as my gaming "console". Until, that is, the official Steam installer works under 22.04 again. The Steam client from Canonical sucks IMHO.
IMO it is in your best interest to not use banks at all for personal finances, WF is just the most glaring exemplar of why not to. A better alternative are credit unions which are non-profit organizations set up to benefit their members. Strange to think about, but depositors are a liability to banks. Unless you're taking a loan from the bank you are not really a "customer" in their eyes.
