Hilton etc will charge the fee when you book. I just tried with Hilton Orlando. It's mildly annoying getting a booking bill more than the widely advertised price, and it should be illegal too, but you know what you're paying when you pay.

What I referred to above is being charged a resort fee after you've already paid the initial booking fee. Last two places I saw this were Balley's in Vegas and VYE in Miami.

I find the problem with the errors (in 3.5) is that they're not the kind of human-made error we're used to detecting, so the process of parsing the responses feels more arduous and sometimes confusing.
The article does not exactly state what is measured, but suggests it measured web traffic (browser, I assume).

It’s very bold to state “ChatGPT user sessions went down by X” when not taking into account:

- iOS app launch (May ‘23)

- Android app launch (July ‘23)

- GPT3.5 turbo and GPT4 API general availability (July ‘23)

- the explosion of apps that users shift to after 3.5-turbo/4 API GA

I worked with ChatGPT’s web interface daily before the mobile app was launched, and my usage is now at say 70% web / 30% app. And countless extra “sessions” integrated directly in code editor (Cursor)

I don’t see the point of that. Your code won’t look like that anyway, change your example to a typical web application backend to see the problem.

All you have is requests and responses. They don’t come in a predictable order.

Whether you use async/await or not it’s irrelevant.

Loading and restoring the state is trivial. If you just want one state object per user, you can load and save it in your framework middleware. In real life you typically need more state than just per user state, which is why it’s uncommon to see that.

In the end you’ll find yourself back at the typical application server plus database architecture.
The incident happened pre-Bruen when California county sheriffs had a huge amount of latitude to decide who got permits. In some counties that meant nearly everyone without a criminal record got one, but on the flip side in some counties the only sure way to get a CCW was to be politically connected (either a colleague of the sheriff or donor to their reelection campaign). So if a given sheriff's default stance is "no one gets a CCW" I can see how it's more of a bribe than extortion to get one via quid pro quo
> Canadians aren't a racial group (and a Canadian may be white, black, native, Asian, Indian, whatever), so I don't think this particular example has anything to do with the rest of what you're talking about.

They're not, but it has absolutely everything to do with it. As you agreed (I think): People tend to refer their friends. Canadians often went to the same schools (Waterloo, McGill, UBC) and if you asked one about another one, quite possibly they'd know someone who knew him or her.

-What's the name for that thing that is on the bottom of the room again?

-It sounds like you're referring to the "floor." The floor is the flat, usually horizontal surface that makes up the bottom of a room or any other space. Is there anything specific you'd like to know about it?

Often, projects need a strong guiding hand. And that strong guiding hand doesn't necessarily need to be someone with massive amounts of domain knowledge or skills to rival the most technical people on a team. They need organizational skills, focus, and the ability to step back and see the bigger picture.

I was involved in a project that was literally going nowhere. Every sprint failed, the team was all over the place, and the project was way behind schedule. The company moved a project manager in from another team. She had a background in engineering and some experience coding, but not to the level of most of the team. Yet after six weeks (3 sprints), the project was back on track. Mainly because that project manager go the team to better focus on what needed to be done, and what could be done, during their sprints.

None of that required domain knowledge or deep technical skills, but it did show me the true worth of a good project manager.
This is a bullshit metric. ChatGPT isn't the technological advancement, the question should be has the use of LLM's increased or decreased and by how much since may. People are testing/using other models, tools, etc - doesn't mean the concept is flawed, or that it's going out of style. It just means people want to see the best results and feel that chatGPT is maybe not as good as it was in March.

Phind, and Claude2 imho are often much better than Bing/chatGPT for most of my use-cases.
A glucose tablet and a glucagon shot can both be used in emergencies, but they are best used to treat different levels of emergencies. You can take a glucose tablet if you're coherent and conscious, but when you're incoherent or passed out from a severe hypoglycemia, someone else administering a glucagon shot is a lot easier and safer.
>but having to double and triple check the output generated became tiresome.

There are things that you can verify instantly. Example: "in gnu units, how do you convert days to hours and minutes". After 3 googles I could not find the syntax to use multiple output units. ChatGPT got it in one try.
The product owner was typically changing requirements, Scrum Master I think realized they had no functional role and tried to be a busybody.

The idea of a health test keeps getting tossed out a lot as a solution, but it has the issue of all qualification tests for office -- the loss of perceived legitimacy of representatives if it was seen as a biased tool that's open to manipulation at worst, or functionally useless by being too narrow at best. I can't think of another trait besides maximum age to use that would be seen as fair, and good luck getting any constitutional amendment done in our political climate right now.

If you're going to use models, why not models all the way through?

In other words, rather than using them merely to identify words to abbreviate and suggested abbreviations, why not use an LLM that can take a bunch of abbreviated text and infer what you're trying to abbreviate?

> these aren't fees Comcast chooses to charge

These are, in fact, fees Comcast chooses to charge.

This reminds me of the confusion of some other employees when a start-up I was working for got purchased. The new owners proposed that we should sign documents agreeing certain conditions in exchange for which they'd pay us a "bonus" of an amount to be determined by a complicated formula at the end of their financial year.

So I glance at this document, it's as I think, and I explain this document requires you to work for them for a period of time, it's a weaker version of the document the senior people are signing or have signed -- but unlike theirs it doesn't actually pay us ordinary employees any money - therefore I explain you should not sign if you think you might want to work somewhere else any time soon. e.g. if your role makes no sense as part of the larger entity and you've got better things to do with your life rather than collect a salary for a few months until they realise you aren't necessary and fire you.

I got widespread objections - it has a bonus scheme. Yeah, the way that scheme works their accountants are going to decide whether they pay us money in a year's time. Guess what those accountants are going to say? They're going to say "No". If they wanted to pay us money, they would just pay us money as they did with our management. Employers can always pay you money. There is tax due on it if they do, but that's their problem not yours. When an employer doesn't give you money the reason is that they don't want to give you money. Don't ask for another explanation, it's demeaning for them to have to pretend and for you to listen.

In a year's time I got a call from the CTO, an old friend, was I on that bonus scheme? Yes, I said, it doesn't matter to me (then or now). He was warning people because he'd been tipped off that of course it was worthless, exactly as I had said, but whoever had told him had seen the numbers from the accountants now.

Comcast can choose not to charge these fees, but it wants to. It would like to be able to say "Our price is $49.99" and then bill you say $84 per month and blame the difference on vague "fees". They only need to justify how that adds up to $84 in the case that someone works very hard, maybe a journalist working on a story about rip off ISPs. And if it's bullshit? They just say "Oops" and refund some fees when caught if their lawyers tell them that's cheapest.

In the UK for a long time ISPs would claim their charges didn't match the advertised price because it didn't include a fee they paid to BT Openreach, the incumbent telco whose copper cables they're using to provide service. In a way they were telling the truth, Openreach did charge them a fee. Unfortunately that fee is published by law, fairly small, and it had been steadily going down, because "maintaining some copper cables under the street" isn't expensive. On the other hand the fee these ISPs would add to the supposed "price" for consumers was larger and going up over time. Eventually the regulator told them to knock it off with this bullshit and just tell people the actual price including this mandatory fee.
We're talking about hundreds of thousands across several countries, not in a single facility. If you have 50 prisoners per building, you only need 4000 buildings like that to get to 200k. This could be happening anywhere, even in large cities. You don't need huge infrastructure per location to do this, though it does take some logistics to keep it up. Running a clandestine prison in the middle of a city is not trivial, but certainly not impossible to keep under wraps. I'm surprised it's profitable, though.

Schhol shootings in the US, Neo-Nazis in East Germany, islamist terrorists. They all have in common of being, over simplifying, frustrated, in secure young men.

They are easily manipulated by populists and ideologists, prone to use violence and prone to be sexist, racist etc. I guess that is becaise the way they see themselves, or what they think society expects them to be, is something they do not get. Hence the incredible amount of frustration. Frustration that breeds, especially when combined with a sense of entitlement and inhrained superiority, radicals like nothing else. Bonus points if thes can see themselves as the victims, conspiracy theories go a long way in building some groups conspiring against them.
Wouldn’t you expect this though? This is measuring direct user sessions. As people build on top of the API, it will displace direct usage with more customised usage. For instance, instead of going to ChatGPT and asking it to write something then copying and pasting it into a word processor, people use things like Notion that use the API behind the scenes.

Race is an ambiguous delineation of a tribe someone might belong to.

Sex, age, etc are more defined delineations.

Who is to say the 1.3B population of Indians does not have multiple races? They might all be the same tribe in the eyes of a person with ancestors from Europe, born and raised in the US. But for someone in India, they very well could view the other 1.29B Indians as being in tribes as different as “white” and “black” tribes in the US.

Note that racism is not skin color-ism, since a very light skinned descendent of a darker skinner person is also, commonly, referred to as being “black”, especially if they have obvious physical traits that display they have “black” ancestors.

Race in the US (and other parts of the developed world) is about the socioeconomic tribe that the one belongs to, or that one’s network (including ancestors) belong to. That seems very similar to castes in India.

I've done combat training in one (a 3-story aluminum sided building furnished like a large office) and they had rigged the whole building with an interactive surround sound system. Once the course started and we got up to the building, I thought I heard music coming from inside. We opened the door and Metallica was blasting at 120db and none of us could hear each other. We had to communicate using signals while navigating the course with fake hostages and combatants etc. all while Master of Puppets was assaulting my ears. You couldn't escape it either, we were being sound-gunned on every floor and every room.

Anyway, just thought I'd share since Sound is something people forget when imagining training in these buildings and the experience was invaluable.

I really think it's a mistake to say quality of life is lower in China right now than at any point in the past. Yes, housing is expensive, but 60 years ago literally tens of millions of people starved to death. Housing in rural china is still cheap, but no one wants to live there. It's capitalism that allowed people to escape rural subsistence farming that realistically meant starvation level quality of life. I do think people work more, but that's largely because the alternative is being a subsistence farmer on the verge of starvation like they would've been before capitalism.
The taxes/fees on telecom services are complicated in the US because we have multiple overlapping taxation authorities who might impose them. Unless you know a person's address, you don't actually know what they're on the hook for.
It's replaced SO on both the low and high end of the complexity curve for me.

"Low" -> GPT presents much more succinct answers with less to wade through for things like "XYZ Error".

"High" -> I'm able to "prep" GPT by asking about certain topics and how to accomplish them and then have some back and forth to discern a plausible solution in a way that's much more contextual.

In both cases, the other big win is that I don't have abstract out my questions to some generic but representative case, I can just provide exactly the code or scenario I'm working with and get answers back. Huge productivity gains.

The debt collector couldn't care less if the debt is disputed. You instruct the rating agency, and then hope they see things your way. If they don't, your credit score will be affected.

I'm surprised at how often people say "just block payment and dispute the charges". Do people really believe getting out of a debt is as simple as saying "trust me bro, I don't owe them anything"?

> (e.g. by recording response packet timings)

Even modern packetized display interfaces like DisplayPort are still fundamentally a one-way firehose for the pixel data. There's no provision for acknowledging or retransmitting data packets, and forward error correction is optional. The bidirectional sideband channels used for stuff like EDID are not timing-sensitive like the pixel data stream.
Like a couple of other commenters, I use Proton VPN. I have an unlimited Proton account, so I decided to take advantage of that.
I completely agree with you in principle. It's rarely an actual fault of anything in Linux. However the outside effect to me as a user is that I need to debug my monitor's EDID to get it to work correctly. Inconveniently for me (as much as I love digging into things like that) I really want to just plug in a conference room projector into my laptop and have other people already put in place out those workarounds for me sometimes.
They post people's home addresses. Calling it gossip is a lie.
For a team of 10 I absolutely agree that you're probably not going to get that fine-grained, and you'll probably look at larger groups of 100 or more.

But it still can be useful to spot-check smaller teams. If that team of 10 is, say, 100% male, or 100% Chinese, maybe that's something that deserves a second look. Not with guns-blazing, "you all are obviously sexist/racist", but... a second look, nonetheless.

I'm one of the recipients of the AI grants, to support my work at fast.ai. I'm extremely grateful to a16z for their support. Here's some additional details based on questions I see in the comments:

My grant covered the purchase of a Scalar server from Lambda Labs, which allowed me to configure a system with 8 previous-gen A6000 GPUs, partly also thanks to NVIDIA who has recently given me 3 of those cards, and Lambda Labs who offered to provide everything at cost.

a16z didn't ask for any equity or any kind of quid pro quo, other than to let folks know that they provided this grant. They couldn't have been more helpful through the process - I didn't have to fill out any forms (other than sign a single one page agreement), the contract was clear and totally fair (even explicitly saying that a16z wasn't going to receive any kind of rights to anything), and they wired me the money for buying the server promptly.
> Isn't the hard part doing this profitably?

Correct.
