Thank you for that comment, I don't think it's something many people really understood. The same is true for phishing websites. So much depends on the context and incomplete background information. Is a website that asks you to put in your username and password bad? Well, it depends on what the website does with that information in the background. I've seen very suspicious websites asking for user information which were, in the end, just sites set up by marketing departments of the larger company who were unaware of the dangerous precedent they were setting.
The point of picketing is to be annoying.
Why is the direct flight to LA more expensive than the flight to San Jose with a stop in LA? You'd think the price for the San Jose flight would be the price of the LA flight plus the price of the LA to San Jose flight.
I think it depends on your goal. If it’s to communicate, I think it’s fine to use machine translations especially in limited situations like directions or something like that. But language is also a social act, and you can’t really build the same rapport with someone using a translator as you can by speaking their language- especially in person.

But the machine translations are not (and will probably never be) perfect I’ll show you why:

Habló con su jefa y le dijo que le tiene ganas.

Google translate:
He spoke to his boss and told her that he feels like it.

Well in Spanish this could mean:

(He/she/you) talked to (his/her/your) (boss/wife) and told (him/he)r that (he/she/it/you) (somewhere between wants and craves) (him/her/you/it).

This sentence mind you, isn’t especially contrived. It’s just how people talk in Spanish. And while all of these potential translations are good, only one is actually accurate. The only thing that it certainly doesn’t mean is:

He spoke to his boss and told her that he feels like it.

Which is what Google said it meant.

The problem is that what may be and can be ambiguous in one language, often needs to be explicit in another language. And when it must be explicit, the translator or whatever’s translating makes a choice and you don’t know what’s being said on your behalf. And while you can certainly improve a machines ability to guess what’s meant, you’d have to change the languages themselves to actually solve this problem.

What I find most amusing is when English speakers complain about why Spanish uses genders and say its pointless. Because Spanish uses genders for precisely the same reason English does. To add specificity and make things less ambiguous.

I realise this is a very long way to both agree with what you said and disagree.
Are you possibly conflating hard drugs like crack with drugs like marijuana? I don't see people going to rehab over marijuana or even psychedelics.
In concept advertising is good, I'd love to know about good products that serve my purposes for good prices, the problem is that as far as the people in these companies are concerned they just want to sell stuff.

Many companies don't make great products, so what ends up happening is they compensate with advertising that's just borderline false. Filled with emotive words, gish gallop etc that doesn't actually provide very useful or accurate info but hopefully convinces you to buy anyway.
> had I been allowed to cancel (for "free") even if I didn't get my money back it'd have been a big win for the company which could double book their now free seat and still get the money.

don’t worry they 100% sold the seat if the flight was at capacity. flights are always overbooked, and if everyone shows up they offer money until someone takes the offer to get on a different flight
Yes you'll need the latest version (0.0.16) to run the 34B model. It should run great on that machine!

> The plan was for the teen to get off the plane in Charlotte where he lives, his father told local television station Queen City News, but before he could board his flight, he was stopped by gate agents and taken to a room.

I find it interesting that no one finds this extremely disturbing. This a staggering abuse of laws to make use of state/federal officers (armed guys) for something very trivial; and the icing on the cake is that the target is a minor.

The idea is that the USA is the land of the free is eroding faster than the North Pole ice.
It's simpler than that. AA offers an inferior product for flying from Jacksonville to New York City, because they don't have the non-stop flights that their competitors do. So they have to discount their flights to be competitive.

Meanwhile AA is the only airline flying non-stop from Jacksonville to Charlotte. They offer the best product there, and charge accordingly.

Products aren't priced according to their cost to produce, they're priced according to what the market is willing to pay for.

In some international cases, it creates tax/airport fee problems. Sometimes transit passengers pay less. Whether that's an airline or passenger problem probably depends.

edit: I actually can't find any examples of "airport taxes" being levied on arriving passengers that are different than transit passengers. The differentiation only seems to be between departing & transit passengers)

Meanwhile, other countries let you get a tax refund on unused flights and airlines probably hate that paperwork
I find both hotel and phone book examples pretty weak. Neither proves we got a lot of privacy. Temporary sleeping with a stranger while traveling is loss of fonfort, but nit meaningful loss of privacy.

With phonebook, you could ask to be omitted and more famous people routinelly did that. Also, information about you was very limited. Stalker or violent ex could use it, but it would be impossible to si thousands of strangers into harrasing you. It was nit the same as posting address on 4 Chan.
Because convenience, creating a secure cloud backup and restoring it once you passed immigration is a lot of hassle must people would rather skip doing.
So let me tell you I won't make that flight and give me $10 back while you can resell it. The pricing scheme here is the problem, not the way it's being used. Unless they're being reimbursed by the destination cities for the number of people disembarking from each flight, there's nothing about the final leg that makes them money.
I'm not sure most preppers are preparing for a world war, but if that's the context, your point is well-taken.
It's got nothing to do with incurred cost. Goods and services are not priced at cost + margin, they're priced at whatever the market will bear.

A->B is a higher demand ticket than A->B->C, so the market bears a higher price for that ticket. By getting off at B, the traveler has "stolen" the difference in those two prices from the airline, as the airline would have charged the skip lagger or another direct flight customer a higher price.
This applies to everything: a gun, water or money. There is no concept out there.
A subsidy big enough to pay for the entire B->C ticket?

Why even involve other routes at that point, offer $20 or $0 service on that link.

You are incorrect.

That being said, it is dependent on two things.

Some jurisdictions may only allow for a single contract. I don't know where you live, but in my part of the world there's nothing stopping you from negotiating a personal deal. But it can't undercut the union minimum.

The second is the more important part - does the company want to negotiate with an individual? Most places don't. It costs time, money, and effort to do salary negotiations. Companies don't want to set individual contracts for 500 different workers.
It is remarkable how wishy-washy and borderline desperate pro-drug arguments can get.

You know what also makes new connections? Talking to people, sober.

I suppose this entire perspective is a product of living in the thoroughly depressing and broken system that is the US. Sucked dry by the cost of education, by the cost of healthcare, by the cost of rent in cities, by the cost of pretty much everything, I suppose people have little recourse but to, as a commenter below so eloquently puts it, 'f*ck it, let's get wasted and high.' I also suppose the sugar argument comes from the US food industry stuffing high-fructose corn syrup in everything.

I believe that any recreational drug use—whether cannabis, heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine, or even nicotine, alcohol, caffeine, and excess consumption of sugar—should be treated with the extreme caution that they all deserve.*
Well yes, but that is very much their problem. The "lost revenue" is the direct result of their own pricing structure.

> As an observation, one difference between US and EU PTO behaviors is that everyone in the EU tends to take their PTO at the same time around July/August.

That is very much country dependent and can't be stated as a general rule. While this may be the case in France, where some businesses close for the entire August that's certainly not the case in, for example, Switzerland where a business may close 2 weeks in February.

Most businesses don't close at all and within certain limits employees are free to take their vacation whenever it suits them.
> ...in fields where "merit" is a meaningless measure, such as factory work, housekeeping, retail, etc.

In what sense is it meaningless? Factory workers could have higher output, housekeeping staff could be more efficient, retail workers could make more sales. Anyone can make fewer mistakes or identify ways to improve operations.

If there was genuinely no way to do a better job than anyone else then what excuse is there for seniority-based rewards or anything other than perfectly uniform compensation?

> In fields where merit is meaningful and measurable, like most white-collar and higher-paying jobs, unions set minimums and individual workers are free to negotiate higher pay.

In which case the union becomes a gatekeeper excluding new entrants, because it benefits existing union members to keep out anyone who might displace them in well-paying jobs, and the prospective entrants don't get a vote.
But by the same token, a fruitful creative nugget left unpicked can quickly evaporate, and won’t be there when returned to.

I’m sure we’ve all been there when a document or piece of writing has been lost to technological failure - it’s essentially impossible to replicate by writing it out again with exactly the same spirit. Almost maddening in fact.

I don’t agree with hard and fast fixed rules like those listed by the professor. They work for him but extending them into a universal generality for all writers is a huge fail from my perspective. Useful rules of thumb perhaps, and emphasising good discipline, but there’s no way I could stick to them.
The word “empty” carries no semantic content under this construction of the term. Terms like “empty” are always used contextually, hence, why only a fool would correct their partner for mentioning the empty refrigerator by remarking on the presence of air.

Unless you think Sagan would have been surprised by the presence of an electric field (mediated by virtual particles…) between electrons and protons in an atom it’s quite likely you’re choosing an obtuse understanding of the term.
Interesting response, thanks. The definition of counterculture that I see most frequently is: "A culture whose values and norms of behavior differ substantially from those of mainstream society, sometimes diametrically opposed to mainstream cultural mores."

By that yardstick, I'd say the alt-right or whatever you want to call it is a reactionary counterculture rather than a progressive counterculture, largely as a result of progressive countercultural values from the 1950s-90s having been incorporated into mainstram culture.

A few months ago I asked ChatGPT to use the principal of the Hegelian dialectic to tell me what the synthesis arising from the current progressive culture and the alternative reactionary one would be. Naturally it was useless.

Thanks for pointing out. We have now updated the prompt template to follow the format.
>> you definitely should have been asking 3.5 for structured output and doing any math yourself.

I suspect that this solution would have required a lot more time given my lack of experience in these technologies and there are a lot of unknowns for that particular use case. For example, a user could ask to compare legalese from 30 different providers to find all those which met a certain conditions; even if you can narrow down the input to just a few sentences per provider, you still need to feed it 30 times that amount or else the AI has no way to compare all the providers.

With my solution, GPT only saw a tiny highly relevant fraction of all the documents. It's possible that the solutions you mentioned would have helped cut our input size further but it's not clear by how much given the complexity of the questions and the data.
This all reeks of “Embrace, Extend, Extinguish.” Encourage the community contribute and use your project, help them setup and become integrated with custom extensions and plugins, then rip the rug out from under them and make them pay or else destroy their business.

I don’t remember ever being asked to sign a CLA back in 2016 when I contributed. But they moved my code out to a plugin which was kept MIT. That code was there in the core product for 5+ years while they were building their business. My contributions helped them build their business, and in turn, I used their contributions to help the companies I was working for.

They broke the covenant of OSS: You make your source open and MIT license it, you are giving it to the community to let them do what they will. That’s what the license says. But, in turn, you get hundreds of thousands of people contributing back, for free. Hashi puts in to it, the community puts in to it, and we all make a great tool. We send back bug fixes and write training blogs, etc., and they don’t tell us what to do with the project because they’re getting a lot out of the community anyways.

Hundreds of millions of people every day depend on OpenSSL, but how many people have contributed to maintaining it? How much of the web we use every day depends on ffmpeg, yet I don’t know anyone who has contributed to that project. Many tens of thousands haved blogged and promoted Terraform (et. al.) for free? Many thousands more gave talks and training, without any compensation from Hashicorp. The naysayers act like Hashicorp has provided everything to the OSS community and gotten nothing back.

- Terraform is written in Golang and utilizes gRPC to communicate between plugins and core. What if Google decided to re-license Go and gRPC and say that Terraform couldn’t use it because it was a competitor to Cloud Deployment Manager or that Nomad and Consul are competitors to GKE? It’s all up to the license holders to decide who’s a competitor and tell them they can’t do that anymore.
- Hashicorp uses Lets Encrypt for their certificate authority for their website. Have they contributed back to that project, either monetarily or in dev time? Or do they just get free certificates for all their websites automatically provisioned from a public certificate authority supported and managed by other companies?

AGPL has nothing to do with it. Hashicorp wants all the contributions and bug fixes and blog posts and talks and marketing and promotion and support and training, for free, and also wants to be the only one to benefit. They should have never MIT licensed the code 8 years.

I understand that you are in alpha, but paying without any privacy guarantees is a little hard to accept right now.

> Realistically though, PTO comes out of salary, just like healthcare.

The US seems to be one of very few countries where this is the case. It doesn't seem to be a very good model overall.

To be more precise: In some countries healthcare may be deducted from a salary. But that's usually an universal healthcare model, which is certainly not comparable.
Private insurance in countries with a primarily public healthcare system seem to be relatively affordable in general.

I guess it makes sense because young professionals who get it as job perk are overrepresented in the pool and pretty much all serious/very expensive issues will still be covered by the private system.

Seems reasonable to refuse service. Entirely and fully in their rights as it should be. This person was not going to fulfil their side of contract that is travel to end destination. So service was refused. And it wasn't under any protected class.

A probability field is not a geometric volume. The phrase "empty" is meaningless to apply to it and doesn't provide laymen with any useful intuition.

Fields may have high or low energy densities, and we might compare that to the height and frequency of waves on the ocean in explanation. But just as the ocean is violent or becalmed, not "full" or "empty", so are fields neither full or empty.
