> It's currently not economically possible to listen to user's conversations, transcribe them to text, and serve ads based on that.

Anedoctally I belive Meta does something like that because I consistently get ads on Instagram about topics I talk with a friend on Whatsapp and sometimes that is done completely via audio messages. Though I might be wrong and leaked the topics in text messages among other possibilities.

I think it can be economically feasible. They can have a model optimized for their topics which can be orders of magnitude faster than general-purpose speech recognition. Low accuracy probably wouldn't be an issue as they are able to fine tune the user topics of interest via its interactions with the ads (e.g. click rate, time spent before scroll).
> While I don't know the case for SBCL, a language like Elm has very heavy type inference that you can rely on better than most type systems.

Bullshit. Either it's a sound type system (perhaps with some escape hatches) - in which case why would you ever not expose it as a real static type system - or it's not and you can't rely on it.

(There is no contradiction between having good inference and having a real static type system; e.g. if you're using Hindley-Milner then you have "perfect" type inference where you could remove all the type annotations from your program and it will still be correctly typed. But it's still very useful to have a syntax for annotating expressions with their types!)

So you implemented a poly approx fror a Gaussian function without understanding what you were doing (implying that if you wanted to do it yourself it would take hours of studying).

Good luck when you need to update it and adjust it - this is the equivalent than copying/pasting a function from Stack Overflow.

Even as a frontend developer (mostly Vue, some React) it didn't make much sense to me. I've never heard of Storybook. I've never wanted to share UI components that I have made with the world.

I do like Vite a lot, but I don't really see the relevance of the "powered by Vite" unless the whole thing is basically a sales pitch for Vite.

So after a little more research, it looks like ASA would be the best filament for use outdoors. I really want to see how this PLA works out, though, because in my mind it'd be nice for a self-printed item if it'll last a year or so to just use PLA. They're relatively inexpensive and easy to print in PLA.
Streams are less cumbersome in Java because you can use optional everywhere and it's relatively idiomatic; the ecosystem (at least the modern parts of it) will support you in doing so. Whereas in Kotlin everything expects you to use their special nullables and so you have to constantly shift back and forth.

May I introduce you to inferno or Plan 9 my friend. Elegant OSes from a more civilized age.
I take it as similar to the “never do a massive rewrite” rule for coding. It’s not that it never should be done, it’s that it shouldn’t ever be assumed to be “the easy part”.
As others have noted, there is a “temperature” parameter that defines how much randomness gets injected in its process. With a temperature of 0 it’s results would be repetitive and lack any type of creativity. With a temperature set to max it would hallucinate a ton and have wild answers.

I just tested it in the playground using gpt4 and when I used the default temperature of 1, it’s answers carried from like 303k to 305k where each answer was slightly different. Then I tested it several times with temperature of 0 and it gave the same exact result every time 303820. So the algorithm thinks that 303820 is the most correct answer, but the injected randomness makes it pick slightly less optimal answers. I don’t know if the other answers are completely out of thin air or if it’s training data just had a bunch of different sources that varied slightly.
Some days even I don’t achieve much more than that
It boggles my mind. Someone was telling me that the Mississippi River is only using about 1/10th of its potential freight capacity when compared to equivalent European waterways or even the shipping capacity the Army Corp of Engineers maintains.

For all of the attention billionaires get, I think it's a good reminder of how politics are still local. The Koch brothers dumped billions of dollars to try to reform prison sentencing and oppose the ACA and got nowhere with either. Meanwhile, a small handful of multi-generational shipping magnates in the US have had a stranglehold on the economy with the support of congress for over 100 years.
Those kinds of things tickle the crazy part of my brain. This would make me want to save up a year's worth of papers (maybe collect them from my neighbors who want to participate) and quietly return them to the door or lobby of the business in question. Bonus if they've been sitting outside the entire time.
That's good point. ChatGPT itself is very valueable. The problem is for the people who live off creating content.
yup, too much rope to hang oneself
There are models freely available to download with the censoring stripped out. They’re not as capable as ChatGPT, but they’re not terrible, and they’re improving quickly.
It... it's Canada. You can refuse deliveries and they just go back to the sender. That's how that works. Why did she accept them if she didn't order things? Because UPS sure as hell doesn't deliver anything that hasn't had the import duties and taxes paid first (source: me, several times because the phone number their automated system calls you from gets flagged as a spam number).

> I haven't visited a CNET page in years and didn't know they were even still relevant :p

I'm not sure that CNet is relevant. I see their headlines regularly because they're a panel on an aggregate I visit. Most of what they publish is on a level with bot-built and affiliate pages.

We just had a long run of "Best internet providers in [US city]" as if people who live there could choose more than one. Between those will be Get This Deal On HP InkJet Printers and Best Back To School VPN Deals 2023 that compares 10 different Kape offerings.

If there is a point to cnet's existence, I truly don't see it.
That's unfortunate. I just bought one of these a month ago. I've noticed it gets really hot when it's not even being accessed or used, just plugged in. Like really hot.
Newer is not always better, especially when you're looking for information on old things, but I suspect there are vested interests who don't want us to remember how much better things were in the past, so they can continue to espouse their illusion of "progress", and this "cleaning up" of old information is contributing to that goal.

The Vice article links to a paper published in The Astrophysical Journal. https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/1538-4357/ace101
I haven't lived in Canada for a while, but what typically happened to me when living in Canada and ordering things from the US from private sellers or small companies was:

1. I chose the cheapest shipping option and would be hit by "customs fees" which was actually reasonable taxes or even no taxes for a small item, but with a brokerage fee added upon delivery. Small text was added to the invoice to make it plausibly seem like all fees were taxes to be blamed on the government, not on UPS or Fedex.

2. After realizing what brokerage fees were and doing research, I chose shipping which was a bit more expensive but included the paperwork and fees.

3. I would get hit with brokerage fees anyway because ebay shippers and small companies unilaterally changed shipping to the cheaper option for their own benefit to pocket the difference or for a perceived benefit to me.

4. As an added bonus, sometimes a private seller helpfully shipped without an invoice for the goods, or even put and inflated value in the shipping documents "just in case for insurance" and I would get hit with tax on the inflated value.

People using ebay or online shopping a lot back then (approx 2000-2012) would figure things out and know the blame was with sellers, UPS and Fedex. But I remember for years people around me placing the blame only on the Canadian government.
The US State Department also warns about this:

We’re getting there but it takes time to agree on what the best implementation of a reinvented wheel looks like? A good example is OpenTelemetry, which is an obvious idea in hindsight but looks like it will take about a decade to ship.

Or how we move the goalposts when we reach a goal, for example Kubernetes standardized certain aspects of cloud but now that we have that, instead of celebrating we bemoan its complexity and lack of utility at solving actual application or organization challenges such that we still need to use cloud APIs plus container images plus all this other complexity. But hey, we did solve the problem of distributing code to run on machines, it’s just in hindsight it doesn’t seem like it was that hard? We adjust pretty quick to the “new normal” when it’s not even a decade yet since Docker and Kubernetes appeared on the scene.

So whose word do we have to go on that this is beneficial, besides anonymous "SEO experts" and CNET leadership (those paragons of journalistic savvy)?

Perhaps what CNET really means is that they're deleting old low quality content with high bounce rates. After all, the best SEO is actually having the thing users want.
If you were paying attention, postgres always the better option, based on my experience starting around 2002 or so. MySQL had the better marketing in its name and was arguably a bit easier to get going from the start, but postgres was always more advanced and IMHO once you got past the most basic usage made a lot more sense in how it's configured.

The fact that it was the M in the LAMP stack gave it a huge edge too. What was at one point an all day, if not multiday setup and configuration process became a simple install script once LAMP became a thing.

MySql was the "default" for a long time until Oracle muddied the waters just enough to make devs look around a bit.
That only works because of investment and speculation. You would specifically not want that for UBI IMO, because speculation could crash your currency leaving people that rely on it unable to purchase anything with it. I'm pretty sure you would need to tie it to a stable real world currency for it to function for its intended purpose as a basic income.
I tried using ChatGPT as a search engine, but it's too slow. With DuckDuckGo/Google you can just go to the domain, type, enter and you have your answer. I haven't used it in a few months, but with ChatGPT you have to log in, pass various screenings, hope it's now down, and then finally get to where you can type.

With a regular search engine you've already found your answer by that time.
" I see this weird back-lash in modern development against having common, standard platforms. "

I think it has always been that way.
It comes down to personality types. Many devs I've met think that the implementation they wrote themselves is simpler and easier to understand vs learning a platform api or existing library.

They tend to shrug off when I point out security or other potential problems
There's no need to imply anything as this very much happens.

In the late 90s the Netherlands had extremely generous disability benefits. It was so generous that a US president that visited wondered why anybody would work at all in this country?

All of a sudden, we had a full 1 million people of working age on permanent disability. And yes, the vast majority on claims of "back pain" and "depression" which both conveniently cannot be medically disproved.

You'd receive some 70-90% of your last/highest paycheck, and get this benefit for life. So you can basically retire at any age on a full work salary.

Everybody over here would know several people in their circles fully abusing this. It was widespread.

None of this is surprising. Getting money whilst not needing to work is attractive.
I was so inspired by FreeHand that I spent many of my formative programming years trying to build a clone in Java with the new (at the time) Java 2D APIs. I remember being blown away at things like anti-aliasing in FreeHand and then Java 2D shipped and had anti-aliasing for shapes and paths and I felt so cool being able to achieve that look myself. I learned so much trying to clone it. R.I.P.
This article is way over the top to me. Eich shouldn't be discredited simply because he donated to some conservative cause once. A lot of companies do that to hedge their bets in DC. And let's say Eich is what you would call anti LGBT or what have you? I don't agree with it but I don't think someone should be attacked for it. Maybe he has some religious beliefs or something. Or maybe, since that was years ago, he changed his mind or became a different person. It seems illiberal to me. It seems the best way to get people to agree with a point of view is make solid arguments and see if they come to a new decision. Going after him or anybody and trying to destroy his career seems less ethical than what you are accusing him of frankly, considering companies pull this kind of stuff every day. There is a much better way to criticize Brave than stoop to this thin emotionally low article.

>the statics level is where all linguistic machinery is being performed at compile-time. Similarly, the dynamics level is where code is being executed at run-time. Thence the typical control flow operators, such as if/while/for/return, data structures, and procedures, are dynamic

int x = getFizBuz(1) is static, (or should be, in a smart enough compiler) despite `getFizBuz` having if/else in it's definition (if (x % 3 == 0)).

This can happen in the real world. For example `button(size: 10)` could have some size dependent logic in its constructor that could be inlined. Any function that is called with static arguments could be inlined and run control flow at compile time.
I don't think anybody has suggested this; the only relevant consideration here is whether the scheduling served as retaliation (which, it seems, it didn't).

Best Place to Stake Solana
I see the opposite. I think functional implementation of interfaces is lacking in Kotlin big time.

The fact that you see a type like Comparable<T> and can implement it with an anonymous function is unique to Java. In other languages you would have Function<Int, T, T> which simply baffles the mind. Java has a powerful and performant model which also benefits from static and default methods (e.g. functional composition).

Granted, the collect endpoint looks pretty wild but in 99% of cases you will simply use ".toList" or Collectors.toSet().
Let's split the discussion though.

The Twitter API changes seem to have no real reasoning behind them whatsoever, except "well maybe we could squeeze more money out of the developers", which isn't likely to result in sympathetic attitudes.

In contrast, one could argue that Apple's API changes are generally intended to achieve some actual purpose (refactoring, better security, etc.) Of course, whether or not they succeed at that is a separate debate entirely.

But also, it's a terrible analogy because a punch to the face is potentially lethal force but delivering a newspaper isn't. Which, obviously, matters.

Spraying someone with a hose in this situation is battery. Unless the newspaper is being launched at your person with a potato gun, you're going to have a hard time coming up with a defense against that battery charge.

Unlikely, but not worth it. Also, MUCH more importantly, wrong target. Don't go after the laborer. Go after the capitalist paying him to harass you. Go after the owner's wallet and time, not the delivery guy's clothing.

"It doesn't really replace good writing."

Sure, but the majority of writing out there isn't good writing.

I write a lot. I use ChatGPT heavily for all sorts of things (code, brainstorming, helping me understand different topics) but I hardly ever copy and paste its output directly into writing that I'm doing.

But that's because I have 20+ years of writing experience!

I would imagine that, for people who don't write naturally on a daily basis, the boost this gives them is incredibly meaningful.
