So your solution for possibly being prosecuted for something marginal is to do several things for which it would be much more reasonable to be prosecuted? That seems like a rather unwise solution to the problem.

It's especially unwise because you now give the company a massive incentive to hire real forensics specialists to try to track you down. You're placing a lot of faith in your ability to remain anonymous under that level of scrutiny.
> The void type has no valid values at all, which means it cannot be returned.

In C/C++, any value can be cast to void, which should be sensible as any pointer can decay to a pointer to void. Thereby, the Wikipedia definition of the void type even says it is like a unit type, and the page for the unit type notes 1) the void keyword simulates a unit type and 2) that--and I think this is very important, to get into the mindset of this term--that the actual unit object type in Java is named Void.

It does really really suck that you can't declare a variable of type void and that some compilers decided the size was 1 for long enough that the size is now undefined (instead of 0), as these mistakes lead to a ton of ridiculous code duplication in C++ templates. (This would be the first thing on my list of things to fix if I were allowed to make any arbitrary breaking change to C++.)

But like, it seems very wrong to claim it has no values at all: in C++, if you have a function that returns void, you can even call another function that returns void and use the return keyword oh whatever you consider it to have returned. It clearly has some kind of value in many contexts--and, despite having a size that is undefined (and potentially 1), that value carries no state--so there is only one possible value: it is merely the term people use for unit in this kind of language.

(To be clear, though: I am not at all claiming that Rust is wrong for using () or unit or whatever, as there is a ton of history of using such in other safe academic languages and it certainly doesn't confuse someone like me. I do, though, think that its mission isn't well served by not at least trying to look as much like the specific languages that need to be replaced--C and C++--as possible.)

> And no, you can't just become one of the special superheroes. Both are aiming to pacify the target society.

Worse: You aren't such a superhero, but by random chance you might be chosen to become one and you are invited to imagine yourself in that situation. Any common person who might want to limit your hypothetical powers is an awful bigot and many of the stories revolve around tension between those with powers who would oppress the plebs vs those with powers who wish to benevolently rule over the plebs (but certainly not cede their power to them.) Also, when the superheroes abuse their position and power it's okay when they're motivated by good intentions, because the ends justify the means and they'll surely revert back to being good once the crisis is over. Power doesn't corrupt everybody who gets it, you can trust the good superheroes with their unchecked power.

All of this mirrors the way Americans are encouraged to think about the ultra-rich, encouraged to believe they might randomly join the ranks of the ultra rich one day. Encouraged to believe that they could be a good and benevolent billionaire, and that the plebs who would limit their wealth are harmful bigots. Taught to believe that the meaningful conflict is between the good billionaires who would benevolently rule, opposed to the bad ones who can only be kept in check by the good ones.
There are, of course, theories that trees / plants communicate in some way (e.g. chemical markers, similar to pheromones), but if you haven't found anything solid then they haven't found any conclusive evidence yet. There's probably loads we haven't discovered yet. I mean didn't they discover a whole new system in humans (next to the blood vessels, nerves and lymphatic system)?
Interesting. My school has a very similar platform, SideChat, which I doubt is much different. Makes me wonder how much they know about me, as I was permanently banned last year for questioning the validity of "gender-affirming care."

Dunno if this is a rhetorical question because a lot of people here seems to think that yes, these companies can make their own silicon for much cheaper. The problem is that they need time, and right now they still have work to do, so the best way to solve this problem is to buy from nvidia. Or am I saying too much?

"Don't want to manage their own" has for so long been a valid excuse but cloud costs haven't been going down for so long - in many cases prices have increased - and hardware keeps getting more badass. In so many cases it's fear speaking.

A decent sized server will host a hugely capable instance that you may not have to think about for years. The scoffing down at DIY has made sense to some degree, but it just works brilliantly keeps getting to be a stronger & stronger case & most just assume reality can't actually work that well, that it'll be bad, and those folks won't always be right.
That's a dangerous game.
Do you really believe your third point? That most medical interventions for cancer do not prolong life? Or the word necessarily means your argument is null like "not all interventions prolong life". Yeah , we knew that already. It's never 100%.

Yeah. You have to make the mental tradeoff that you'll save an hour+ of more or less brainless time at an airport every time you walk through the door in exchange for having one or two additional blown-up or partially blown-up trips per year--which will happen to some degree anyway for reasons beyond your control.
Yes, all media is biased, from well established outlets like WSJ and NYT to Hacker News to my own blog and a random celeb's Twitter feed.

Biased in both how stories are covered as well in _which_ stories are covered.

The bias may not line up neatly to the prevailing major US political partys' platform or narrative - it's still bias.

Very simplistic example; NYT is biased pro-New York. WaPo is biased pro-D.C. The Economist is pro-EU. All are pro-full-time 9-to-5 jobs.

I've been a subscriber to all at one more or another. Those biases means a solid chunk of their articles are irrelevant or just real weird for readers (me) in a different locale and life situations.

The comparison to sports is apt. Unless you're on the field - sports is entertainment. Same is true of media - unless you care how a story you're directly involved in is being discussed - it's all entertainment.
> I didn’t intend to say that «not official» means «bad».

Yes, I know, I understood that. Thank you. I was reacting to the term official, since it is an interesting question what official means for Fortran, since in a way it was "abandoned", there was the ISO committee as the only official body, but nobody wanted to provide an official place for it on the internet (the most official place was actually the Fortran Wikipedia article). So we volunteered that. In a way, I think it could already be treated as official, or if not, hopefully in a few years most people will treat it as the de-facto official. Kind of like the git webpage has migrated from https://repo.or.cz/ to https://git-scm.com/, but both in a way are unofficial, but the second one is a nice modern webpage and most people liked it and accepted it as official. I don't know the people behind either webpage.

The first large scale project I worked on, my team couldn't figure out why operations had slowed down as the data set grew.

Indexes have log(n) insertion time per record. If you had 1000 records in your test database, as you approach 65k your insertion time goes up by 60% (2^10 vs 2^16 records). Success slows everything down, and there are only so many server upgrades available.

Add a couple new indexes for obscure features the business was looking for, and now you're up to double.

They do impact life expectancy. The English language is a bit confusing to some mixed with statistics. They do not make life greater than average but they do make you closer to the average than if you die earlier.
Sounds like they're eyeing up a remaster or sequel, and wait for the free labor mod community to produce candidates to do so.

I mean it makes sense, they probably won't find someone easily if they put out a job advert, the original developers will have long gone, and you cannot beat someone training themselves over the span of years.
I've experimented with it, the reason I haven't yet added it is that I want deployment to be seamless, and it's not trivial to ship a binary that would (without extra fuss or configuration) efficiently support Metal and CUDA, plus download the models in a graceful way. This is of course possible, but still hard, and not clear if it's the right place to spend energy. I'm curious how you think about it - is your primary desire to work offline or avoid sending data to OpenAI? Or both?

Dropping down to SQL to write a really complex query is, in my professional experience, always a poor use of time. It's far simpler to just write the dumb for-loops over your data, if you can access it.

Of course not all engineers can operate with SQL as efficiently as code -- that's the whole point. Otherwise why would we be writing code? Learning SQL intimately doesn't change that fact.

As the linked article notes, it's explicitly against the California State Bar Code of Conduct to condition criminal proceedings on requiring a civil outcome, so while not technically illegal it's censurable - that's against the attorneys who threatened, not the clients they represent.
But don’t you think that’s the first thing that 3M’s counsel looked at to try and prove their innocence? Take the veteran incidence of hearing less divided by the population level incidence of hearing loss and see if that ratio went up after the introduction of 3M earbuds? And if there’s a significant change there then it’s likely that the earbuds were defective by design or there were manufacturing issues. At that point everyone who was exposed to that phenomenon DOES deserve the payout, as there’s a plausible risk that the earbuds worsened it.
Frequently, yes, but I'm only one man. I'm not scrolling through every comment looking for these because I'm not hyper obsessed. And I can never downvote replies to my own comments even if they are attempting to make lazy "gotchas" checking for inconsistency that are so common of humans, realistically only looking to validate their own predisposition rather than recognizing that the expectation placed on the question is exceptionally high and nearly impossible unless properly contextualized. Those aren't really adding to conversations so much as they are masturbation. Frankly, I don't enjoy when people masturbate in public.

But yeah, when I see them, I do just downvote and move on. Sometimes comment. Depends on my mood ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I’m sure you know what you’re talking about, and know/have experienced much. I also know I know nothing about you or your lived experiences.

I'm sure that's the correct answer, and that their very best was invested in analyzing the max profit strategy (as they should).

What I'm wondering if it means that the minimal price they can offer the service with at profit, is likely to be too steep for anyone like me, who interpret "talk to us" as the online equivalent of showing him the door. The other explanation I see is that there's not many in the camp of users who react to "talk to us" button by closing the tab instead of a deal, but I find that implausible.
If you are concerned somebody will steal your IP or infringe your copyright, they first have to be 100% sure that some text was indeed written by an AI, and only an AI.

In practice, if you suspect something was written by an AI and are considering copying it, you would be safer to just ask an AI to write you one as well.
The criticism of mongodb that I'm referring to is from the early days when there were some questionable defaults (e.g. writes not being required to be fully written to the database before returning success to the user, which can lead to data loss if something happens that prevents the write from completing afterwards). I agree that's a separate concern than not having the schema enforced by the database. It's possible that my experience is skewed by being more involved when I worked there, but I used to hear and see a lot more criticism of mongodb around things like data durability and ACID compliance than about the lack of an enforced schema. Maybe things have moved on enough that this isn't a common complaint anymore, which would be a pleasant surprise, and hopefully we can get to that point on PHP too.
Or you could fix the underlying social problems that lead to widespread homelessness, but what's the profit in that? It's easier to demonize the ACLU and law firms working on cases going through the courts trying to reconcile disparate mandates.
Good deck of questions but I don't think they matter. I don't think those are answerable questions for observability, be it OpenTelemetry or other proprietary systems.

You can go read the leading observability companies web pages and they'll have a 4 page writeup on custom instrumentation. That's not much, just covers very elementary basics! It's not like OTel is behind. The answer just tends heavily towards "it depends."

Once you have experience - OTel or other - you can work through these things that might confound a neophyte.

There's not much of a story to tell that's not been told a billion times over. I wake, go to work, go home, browse, go to bed, repeat. The stress of life is there, tense moments where my teeth grind loud enough to hear. But is that so different then anyone else going through life?

That said I don't know if you and I are two sides of a coin. You ask the question on whether there is meaning in life, and answer that there is none. I look at the question, and find myself unbothered in any case.

"Simply telling people not to share certain types of content that could be harmful, dangerous or false will not be effective for habitual users, even if it works for nonhabitual users."

It's pretty obvious that social media users create some pretty intense echo chambers. People are posting erroneous or incomplete information that aligns more with their feelings than with reality.

Maybe what's driving people to become habitual users in the first place is a search for easy answers and their biases confirmed rather than just wanting to be part of a group. People want to be right and it seems they are willing to distort facts to do so and that creates a sort of contagion with the rest of the crowd searching for easy explanations for everything. But who knows.

It's an interesting topic and I hope research continues.

Agreed. Some things they suggest aren't actually possible with their SDKs.

For example, you cannot define a histogram's buckets near where you define the histogram. You have to give the global exporter (or w/e the type is) a list of "overrides" that map each histogram name => their buckets. This makes it extremely ugly when you have libraries that emit metrics.
