I think those things mainly followed, getting a mandate from, the changing fashions; the health-conscious, status and performance oriented 80s, for example, rather than creating it, but I'm sure there's influence both ways.
Without being an expert that can elaborate on those points your comment is only a generic statement you likely read from somewhere else and are now telling everyone else that rhetoric.

The idea of "drugs are bad" requires one to not have knowledge of how medicine works or why it's created because "drugs" are no different from all the other medical drugs. Have you taken anti-anxiety meds? Perhaps lithium? Those solutions are barbaric when compared with cannabis and some kinds of hallucinogens.

Medical interventions must be fully encompassing. Everything is a compromise. Cannabis may be harmful, it is also very low on the list of significant harms, and high on gains for specific use. If you care about saving lives then regulate away sugar.
They add a big premium onto the price of a direct flight, regardless of where to.

Check prices for flights from Paris to Martinique and to Guadeloupe. Each will cost about $1000, with a layover on Guadeloupe or Martinique, respectively. Or, you can pay $1500 for a nonstop to either one.

That $500 buys you the avoidance of 3 hours of your life switching planes at airports.

I had to retake my AI class at university several times because I just didn’t agree on the “AI is symbolic search” aspect.

Now though, I’m sure people are taking LLMs and putting them together to do forward and backward chaining.
You are wrong. What I described is exactly what they did in the "math" benchmark of v1 of the study (https://arxiv.org/pdf/2307.09009v1.pdf). They asked "is this number prime" for a bunch of prime numbers. The old version gave a bunch of "reasoning" that was actually faulty and then guessed "yes". The new version guessed "no" (which is arguably a better guess as to whether a random number is prime). In neither case did it actually do the work required to answer the question and the change in "correct" answers is an illusion.

In the programming category the newer GPT-4 actually performed significantly better but started formatting code with backticks that the study's evaluation code didn't handle properly, so they falsely concluded that it was worse. https://twitter.com/Si_Boehm/status/1681801371656536068

They later submitted a revision to the study attempting to correct these blatant issues but trusting their work is clearly a terrible idea. The study was executed very poorly and should be ignored with extreme prejudice.
Humans can do multimodal comprehension now? Damn, GPT4 better watch out

You missed the part that in some countries, even if they don't join, depending on the union structure, they would still get the benefits from the industry agreements made between the union, government and industrial partners.

As of now, seems we’ve had too much fun with the demo. I didn’t get to see it.

> Unions are necessary because your employer is richer, stronger, and has more lawyers than you do as an individual. In unity there is strength.

To me this is the key point, that often gets lost or forgotten. Companies inherently benefit from a power imbalance, proportional to the size of the company, and you represent a cost center to them most of the time. This places you at a huge, and permanent, disadvantage, and one of the only ways to combat it is unify with other workers and bargain.
The only person or group who exists to maximize your well-being is you/your union, not your employer, so it makes sense not to trust the employer to look out for you. They're busy maximizing returns for shareholders.
CGI was the OG serverless, because it was a process-per-request model until e.g. fastcgi came along.

Put scripts on an S3 backed filesystem, and as you grow, wrap them in a container, then an auto-scaling group. It might even work today!

I'm surprised I haven't seen more of this from the anti-Kubernetes crowd.
To me this is exactly why mathematics is not natural. Counting natural numbers is not natural.

> one widget

And what's a widget? This implies there are "objects" and an object has its "boundry". Counting is completely human-defined. You can count earth as one and mars as two, or you can count solar system as one and an atom in another galaxy as two. It's a man-made system that help us think.

Or you can count particle by particle... well never mind, we're in a thread of an article about why particles are actually probability clouds :)

Apple stopped any significant innovation on the iPad platform many years ago. It is an also-ran cash cow for them not anything worthy of investment. I say this as someone who was once enthralled with the platform and it is sad. It’s hilarious they throw m2 grade processors in something used to watch Netflix and surf websites.
Yeah I also travel with a battery pack and, if I'm overseas, a pocket wifi. And my airpods, although lots of people like big headsets too. Apple also thinks their VR rig is great for air travel. So potentially 7-9 devices.

I'm personally not as bothered by the number of devices as much as all the forced redundancy. Like the core devices could have 3 desktop quality processors, 13 microphones, 3 selfie cameras, 2 rear cameras, 2-3 cellular modems, etc.

I'd love a design where the phone is my chip, 5g radio and storage. The camera can be worn as a bodycam (for lifestreaming or personal safety) but also docks to the phone. The phone speakers and mics are a 2nd set of airpods you can cycle in to keep them charged (both sets can be docked at once). The tablet is just a bigger screen with extra battery/storage and the phone docks to that. The watch screen is weaker and monochrome so the battery life is better and it keeps the health functions.
Yes, but HelloSystem will never go anywhere because it's BSD.

The canary in the coal mine will be the Elementary Linux distro's Pantheon desktop which even uses the Command symbol ⌘ yet claims "resemblance to any other graphical environment is purely coincidental".

There was some other Mac-copy Linux distro who Apple did send a C&D to for similar reasons but I can't remember the name.
Right.

- Closed shop - must belong to union to be hired. Outlawed in US in 1947.

- Union shop - must join union after being hired. Not allowed in right-to-work US states.

- Open shop - can optionally join union.

- Yellow-dog contract - forbidden to join union. Outlawed in US in 1932. Violated by some US employers.

US labor law dates from an era of strong unions, and basically outlines a set of rules under which management and labor can battle it out. Management won. In 1954, about 35% of US private sector workers belonged to a union. Today, that's about 6%. In Canada, 14% of private sector workers belong to a union today. In Germany, about 50%.
Except, every time unionisation is spoken about someone pulls out some whataboutism like this, it's just not true that issues are ignored.

It's also not in anyway a counter to the necessity of forming a union.

3 devices sounds a lot, but what do people normally travel with? Probably 2, laptop and phone?

Considering how light the iPad is it’s not a big addition to slip in an ipad in your bag.

Sounds great you just use your thinkpad ubuntu, but what’s the battery life on that compared to iPad?

My experience has been that installing Ubuntu on laptops dramatically reduced its battery life.

Rather than taking Stephen Dubner's word for it, who may not know how collective bargaining work, do you have a source for the claim that the newspaper union limited their members' salaries? Because I have not heard of unions that disallow members from negotiating better deals with employers.

At this point you've gotten like 3 or 4 replies explaining how at best you're drawing a flawed conclusion from the paper, and at worst it's a flawed paper in itself.

Funnily enough, just skimming through it again I found yet another glaring mistake they made: they left the system prompt empty for both checkpoints, yet the headline feature of the new checkpoint was improved steerability via the system prompt: https://openai.com/blog/function-calling-and-other-api-updat...

Every time I look at this paper my inclination drifts further away from harmless incompetence. Matei Zaharia is the CTO of Databricks, it feels like too perfect of a coincidence that someone who built a career on ML and study would suddenly drop the ball right as their company is trying to pivot to on-premise MLOps, who's prime competition is ChatGPT...

The only thing I have ever thought of that could provide balance without unions is making standardized work shifts and forbid full time work. That way to work full time you wouldn’t have have to have two part time jobs. That would give jobs to employees a similar level of fungibility as employees to employers and leaving or changing one of your two jobs wouldn’t be as challenging.
> You believe people getting to the top of corporate structures aren’t there because of politics and their network?

There are people who get there by a network and people who get there by merit. But unions regularly eliminate even the possibility of merit-based advancement or compensation by demanding systems that assign rewards based on seniority.

I have no idea if anything like this is actually in use, I have my doubts. Also, a system like this probably isn't terribly useful, a Cartesian gantry robot would be much faster and way more robust than an articulated arm strapped to a mobile robot platform.

Another reason is that writing and other creative work happens deliberately as well as unconsciously.

If you stop mid sentence, it is likely that your mind will nibble away at it while you are not writing. The next time you sit down, not only do you have a clear starting point and next step, but also tons of unconscious prep work for the next burst of deliberate writing.

If you have some set S and predicate P(x) is true for every x in S, ∀x∈S:P(x), then you can partition the set into pieces S₁ ∪ S₂ ∪ ... u Sₙ. such that ∀x∈S₁:P(x) ∧ ∀x∈S₂:P(x) ∧ ... ∧ ∀x∈Sₙ:P(x).

If the quantified predicate were to be false for an empty set, then the above breaks if any of the partitions are empty. A property can then be true when quantified over a set such that it's not true over subsets, which is inconsistent.

A similar problem occurs with products. We can use Lisp:

(* 2 3 4) -> 24

We would like to be partition that into partial products. Here, we have a partition of length 1:

(* (* 2 3) (* 4)) -> 24

So we want (* N) -> N. And empty partitions:

(* (*) (* 2 3) (*) (* 4)) -> 24

For that to work we need:

(*) -> 1

The fractional resolution fixes - yes please. I run a 1440p and 2160p pair of displays, and on Wayland I cannot turn on fractional scaling for either of them due to the graphical artifacting. X - well, I can turn on fractional scaling, but it's global, not per display.

KDE's "zoom the desktop with a keystroke" is also really useful. I first saw it on a Tech Tangents stream, where he was streaming an entire desktop/screen, and simply zoomed a segment of it to show something and then reset the zoom. All without touching OBS or the Extron.
Replying to myself.

Inherently there's a conflict in advertisement. The consumer expects entertaining and unbiased information and the advertiser expects the consumer to buy something.

One example how this conflict plays out: The youtuber Colin Furze tells people about Surfshark, a VPN solution. The way he does is funny (being in a bathtub with a shark mascot and his dark grey tie on), but I am not sure whether this is enlightening and useful information,

Because of this conflict I think there will always be some tension. One example is that one extension for Youtube marks these parts as advertisement and enables skipping it. And sometimes I feel the need to skip it. When thinking about it, it is because I don't want to listen to it and try to separate the information I am after from advertisement I am not willing to listen to it.

So I still think that the pull model is the best way. When I am ready I am willing to listen to what companies tell me.

It's like learning. If your mind is ready, learning is quick and easy.
My insurance would love to bring up my copayment once they know I scuba dived once. I guess.
But that's not how English works. When you pull some words out of a sentence and exclude others, you often get another sentence with a different or nonsensical meaning.

It's "company must [ (1. voluntarily recognize union) or (2. hold election) ]". Choosing option 1 is voluntary because option 2, which you elided completely, exists and may be chosen instead. The "must", on the other hand, denotes the overarching mandate to select from the enumerated options.

The part that the ruling the article is about changes is after that, BTW. The penalty for interfering with (2. hold election) is no longer a redo of the election, but rather imposed recognition of the union and a mandate to bargain with it. The previous penalty wasn't much of one and thus provided no deterrent for companies.
A project like SETI@home should help these efforts I believe?
Not really. I was a frequent contributor to plugins and it was actually incredibly frustrating getting changes merged for many of them. Many you couldn’t test your changes without licenses that cost hundreds of dollars. They controlled the repos, but they didn’t maintain them.

I really wanted to use a tablet – either iOS or Android – as a lightweight work device but it was too clumsy and uncomfortable to use. Any time you encounter a new situation, you're not sure you'd be able to solve it within the OS boundaries.

I finally settled on an 8inch "proper laptop": the GPD Pocket 3. Linux works like a charm, real keyboard, and powerful. It even replaced my spec'd out 15" Dell Precision (from 2017) because it's so more fun to use.
That explains why A->B->C costs less than A->C, but for skiplagging to be worthwhile we must also have A->B->C costs less than A->B.

What would make A->B more expensive than A->B->C?
Exactly. Companies will replace human workers with AI or robots or whatever else as soon as it's possible no matter what happens. Even if companies paid their workers nothing at all (slavery) it would still be worth it to get rid of their human employees because AI won't want vacations or family leave or call in sick or infect coworkers. Robots never show up late, or steal, or end up dragging the company into sexual harassment lawsuits. Machines don't have to sleep and most importantly they don't say no.

All human workers should fight for a living wage. Times are likely only going to get harder and when the robots do finally and inevitably replace us lowly human workers we'll be much better off after having fought for fair wages.
"narcotics" is not a singular item. You do not inject a weed. You are describing hard drugs. Cocaine, heroin, opioids, methemphetamines, and I like to include alcohol over an excess amount.

Psychedelics and green are not in the category of hard drugs. There is little to physical dependency. Nicotine, alcohol, caffeine, and sugar have much worse addicting properties and worse outcomes.

narcotics do not generally all create a "euphoria". Thc especially does not do this. It allows you to experience things in different ways, makes new connections. Some people use this to enjoy things more, same as humans have done since someone figured out the plant that feels funny when you eat it can also be smoked.

Psychedelics used in therapy bring out more natural emotion. That's why they're used.
I don't disagree with most of that. I studied a fair amount of science, including psychology and cognitive science. I know you can cause unusual states with meditation and you have a right to.

Choosing to experience an out of the body experience or a lucid dream is fine. But believing that you are actually visiting or seeing a remote location is a delusion. Quite a few meditators think they are getting psychic powers with meditation, not just unusual states of consciousness. Look up siddhi.
> Would code written in those TypeScript versions compile unmodified in today’s TypeScript compiler (version 5.1 at the time of writing)? Maybe, maybe not.

Definitely not. Typescript upgrades are nearly always breaking in some way. But the fun really starts when upgrading typings (type definitions), or when a library that used to have no typings starts including typings which are more often than not not compatible with the 3rd party typings causing a whole headache by itself.

I love the concept of Typescript but I’m glad I left it behind in favor of Blazor (laugh if you want). It allows me to focus on the customer problems in the limited time I have rather than fixing my build for the Nth time.

Also, lately the Typescript type system has become more complex and the typings itself have also grown more complex, with things like:

export type SomeType = IPickOne<SomeOtherType,SomeProperty> | IPickExcept<SomeOtherType2,SomeProperty2>;

Utterly insane and you need to pre-compile the types in your mind or rely on auto-complete to understand them.

I get idea that some parts of the front-end ecosystem are designed to be busy work, or at least usually turn out to be. But not all of us work in a SaaS development team that can affort 30% or 40% to just play with front-end build systems. Some of us work for clients instead, and need to make the best of the time we have. And more often than not, that means excluding risk factors like large parts of the NPM ecosystem. Limiting things to some simple gulp, dart-sass and some terser to “build” the front-end.

The other competitors have just as much tracking, just windows makes it more transparent to opt in (to some of it), so it's more visible.

What I found out recently: people are different. Some people have a slow and some a fast caffeine metabolism.

I’m a fast metabolizer. I can drink coffee very late and don’t feel anything. A friend of mine stops drinking coffee after 1pm because he won’t sleep otherwise.
Exactly, they can eliminate the problem by just making the ticket prices make sense.
The problem is they don't price flights based on cost, they price flights based on a model showing the most popular routes and recoup costs on losing flights by jacking up the price of the more popular ones. Layover flights are less popular.

The issue of skiplagging is obviously the direct result of their pricing model. And I don't see a solution for them, direct flights will always be more popular than layovers, and so more in demand. They are stuck in the position of doing what they do, or dealing with demand they can't meet with by pricing based on fuel cost instead of demand.
The worst is when some build tool has a bad regex backtracking implementation leading to denial of service with bad patterns.

Of course the right answer is to just keep upgrading our dependencies... so our build machine doesn't fall into an infinite loop when a hacker rewrites our build scripts?
