> If you just want a list of files in a POSIX shell you use a glob expression.

I think this sums up the problem. If you want a list of files for display you use ls, and if you want it for other purposes use a glob; it seems much more elegant to have one way of getting files, and a separate way to format it for displaying if that's what you want.
Ah, I see that listed as a valid ISO 8601 format in the table, but not in the visualization, so I missed it. Also I can't say I've ever seen the basic format in the wild, is there anywhere it's used regularly?

First you'll have to do a little bit of research to find local construction companies that seem professionally run and are actively hiring entry-level construction crews. Use the phone book, google, yelp, or local conventions or trade groups. Also ask people you know if they have any connections to local construction companies and would be willing to intro you.

Second, just be straight up with them - you've been working a sedentary desk job plugged into a computer building software apps for all of your twenties, and now want to spend some time learning how to build real world things and doing some actual physical activity. You're not sure how long you plan to do it, but at least long enough to learn the basics of the craft of building houses and similar sized buildings, maybe six months or so. You're inexperienced at construction, but are smart, have an engineering and problem solving mentality and experience, and can learn fast.

With luck you'll find one willing to take you on and assign you a crew that will mentor you. They'll start you on easy tasks, teach basic things like professional hammering technique, how to use power tools safely, etc. All things you can get a jump on just by searching on Youtube.

That's the gist of it. There will probably be more than one firm willing to take someone smart and reliable and train them up, even if you're up front about not knowing how long you intend to do it.

PS - it also occurs to me another interesting kind of company to work for would be a local machining and manufacturing company, if any are in your area. There are all sorts of cool videos on Youtube about precision machining and manufacturing that might appeal to a programmer. Same process as above.
That makes sense. My napkin math says 3.2x larger radius would mean ~33x larger volume, so it's less than twice as dense as earth and pressures at the core would be much higher (57x?) so it seems feasible that it wouldn't have to be made of anything particularly unique at all.
I just use a spreadsheet in Libre Calc that scrapes prices of securities (almost) live from public sources using an extension.

All I need to do is keep track of whatever I transfer to my broker and number of securities purchased for each type of security.

Interesting example.

I ran your prompt five times through GPT-3.5. While it didn’t use the name Hogwarts in those cases, three of the results had the character going to either the Academy of Arcane Arts (twice) or the Royal Academy of Arcane Arts, which seems clearly modelled on Hogwarts.

I then tried the prompt five times with GPT-4. None of the resulting stories had the main character going to study magic at a school. I don’t know the Harry Potter stories well enough to tell if other names or plot points in GPT-4’s output originated there, so I tried a variation of your prompt using a plot point from the Lord of the Rings: “Please come up with an original story about a magic ring that makes the user invisible. Make sure you don't use existing characters and don't plagiarize any work.”

In five tries with GPT-4, I got one reference to “the Misty Mountains” but no other names that I remember from LOTR. In all five stories, the ring turns out to have negative aspects, but that might be inevitable for fantasy stories.

I liked this one:

“However, she also soon discovered that every time she wore the ring, she left behind a faint imprint of herself. These ‘echoes’ interacted with the world in her stead, retracing her steps and repeating her words from when she was in that silvery realm. And they never disappeared. ... The town of Nerris began to get crowded with Maeve's silent doppelgangers, all repeating her past actions. The townspeople grew suspicious. They noticed these silent echoes, and fear began to take root. They were unnerved by the countless Maeves they saw wandering about, each one caught in its own loop.”

Does that sound familiar to anyone? Could it be GPT-4’s original idea?

Professional pure mathematician here, so I'm curious if you have many examples of this bullshitting you seem to think is omnipresent. In my experience, the field is reasonably efficient at policing this, as in the case of the one example (Mochizuki) you cite. In fact, the reason he got any attention at all is because of his initial record of nonbullshit and quite non-trivial work on the anabelian program.

Emphasis on "without overtime." Their actual take-home pay includes overtime.

And note: the NYPD has very handsome perks: it's a 22-years-to-half-salary-pension job that rises to 121k after 5.5 years in the service[1]. The other benefits are worth looking at as well.

Working as a cop doesn't entitle someone to be able to afford a mortgage; millions of New Yorkers can't afford mortgages. Millions of New Yorkers also live in this city while making less than the NYPD does; on a basic civic level, it would behoove the NYPD to live a bit more like the people they're meant to protect.

> Are government contracts and consulting considered disreputable for some reason

here in California over decades, income and empires were often consumer-based products with consumer distribution chains.. huge money.. the halls of upstate New York and the skyscrapers of Manhatten were viewed as distant and out of touch. IBM and maybe others were household names, but the source of revenue and the way to participate was completely alien.

So I think you have hit on a nerve, yes.. there is some disrespect
Here’s my thing. It’s kind of like calculators and computers. It’s fine to use calculators later on because once you’ve mastered basic division you don’t need to do it 40 million more times. But if you gave calculators to first graders I struggle to believe they’re gonna be learning shit lol
Has anyone seen an analysis of driving safety statistics if you avoid:

* Drunk driving

* Drugged driving

* Driving very late at night

* Sleep deprived driving

* Driving with a vehicle with known safety issues or no safety inspection

* Driving without a license

* Driving while young, dumb and reckless

* Drag racing or other similar behaviour

* Motorbiking

* Driving while holding a cellphone

In other words, if you're not doing stupid things, what are your odds of death, an accident etc.

Because it would actually an important question for an individual choosing whether to use a self driving car rather than a manual car. You want the car to be safer than you, rather than safer than the average.
I agree, but not with the second half of your statement regarding perplexing states that humans have no problems dealing with.

Humans have a lot of problems dealing with those states! It's why they're so difficult; funny enough a big reason why car insurance is a must but health insurance isn't. It's also why I believe we should aggressively push for driverless ecosystems, as fewer humans actually making decisions on the road = fewer potential problems due to the perplex human states.

Of course we are still a long ways from that goal, but it's hard to imagine a future where human drivers are still a thing. Makes more sense for the transportation network to be exclusively driverless and all following the same exact ruleset precisely. Again, thinking long term here not the next 20 years.
What is the point of making kids do all this work if at the end, there will be zero career for them and the computers will be doing everything, I mean why learn any arithmetic at all if you can just ask your phone to sort out your personal finances for you ?

I have a feeling that the outcome might be that we actually become dumber and lazy. I personally won't be bothered learning as much if the machines already know everything, it just would seem like a waste of energy. I'll probably just continue to learn survival skills and first aid in the event of some type of catastrophic event and I happen to survive.

If these systems don't workout to replicate, build and themselves really quickly then we're headed into some very uncharted waters. When they do workout how to replicate, build and run themselves, we're probably fucked anyway.

We're at an interesting point in history here where populations are rapidly declining and the youngest generations are so fucking distracted by technology and new shiny they aren't going to be as interested in developing it as the boomers were. Going to be interesting to see where it goes.
No, we provide a CDK L3 construct that ensures your best practice.
The problem with geo coordinates is reverse mapping them back into political owners, so you can then determine current timezone policy.

There's 4 things at play here:

- Coordinate location on the planet
- Identifier for that location
- Political entity for that location
- Current timezone policy

Of those, coordinates are the only thing that doesn't change over time (for the spans we're talking about).

But are also a pain in the ass to use. F.ex. I'm sure someone on HN has the lat long for London memorized, but I don't.

In load balancing they call this persistence. You are describing a case where you should persist to the server you land on.

In this scenario, unless each request is exactly the same you will end up with uneven load as some sessions persist longer than others.

This can still be stateless with use of a cookie for protocols that support it but is not the idealized "round robin and every request takes same time and resources".

The other alternative is a stateless app that is architected for round robin lb.

>No, if it allows the organism to survive, it increases fitness by definition

Wrong. Or rather, needlessly obtuse in the clear context under discussion. The fitness function for human pathology is replication in excess of the body's capability to control/react adequately to maintain health. There's multiple counter factors going on. If an adapted resistant organism replicates 100x slower such that the immune system is then able to keep up and eliminate it, and/or the probalistic function drops below sustainment, then while yes it's successfully more fit vs the chemical compared to the vanilla organism from the perspective of patient health that's a huge win and the adapted organism has greatly reduced "fitness" (infectiousness/pathology) vs vanilla. The drug has done its job both destroying the vanilla and reducing danger of resistant, effectively driving evolution towards something more stable for humans.

We don't need to avoid all organisms in our bodies, we merely need to avoid harmful ones that damage/destroy the host vs live with it to an acceptable degree (or even have mutual benefit). Some adaptions to some drugs don't have any effect on the pathology of the infectious agent, so they can resist it "for free" from a health perspective. If others mean the resistant is less dangerous than wild type that's good.

I'm not really sure where the whole movie analogy stuff comes in.

I don't have any strong opinion either way but here is, to me, the best form of the argument.

I think the clear analogy is copyright in photographs. There is no a priori reason to believe that copyright should apply to either photographs or model outputs. In the US the copyright act was extended by congress to allow for copyright in photographs. When this was challenged in Burrow-Giles Lithographic Co. v. Sarony, the argument was made that a photograph only mechanistically captures the world and doesn't involve authorship and therefore doesn't fall in the scope of copyright outlined in the constitution. The court disagreed and found there is sufficient authorship in photography through the choice of lighting, framing, camera settings, posing of subjects, etc.

Similarly, one could argue that there is authorship in the choice of topic, prompting, framing, etc when using a generative model. Look at some of the very complex prompts on Midjourney's example page. I've spent a fair amount of time trying to make images which are just as striking and failing. Just as in photography, I think an extension of copyright in this case would probably need to involve an act of congress rather than a development in case law (though I'm outside the US and not that familiar with the act and relevant case law).

If you haven't read the Zarya of the Dawn letter from the US copyright office, I think it's a very cogent explanation of where things currently stand. An artist generated images for a comic book. They get no copyright in the images because they didn't sufficiently have authorship in them. They do get copyright in the entire comic book which involves a particular selection and arrangement of images. https://www.copyright.gov/docs/zarya-of-the-dawn.pdf
I'm still waiting for one that advertises that it can drive a rural road in the Midwest after sunset in the winter with poor cell reception as it goes through valleys.

All of the demonstrations I've seen so far have been restricted to well mapped city roads where there's no snow or climate originated navigational hazards worse than fog.

While getting it working for Seattle to San Diego, Phoenix, Texas and maybe New York City... I want to see it in December in Minneapolis, Chicago, and Denver.

The existing 80% solution of the major metro areas in favorable climates may be good, but the flip side of Pareto is that the remaining 20% of time takes up the next 80% of the allocated budget.
> We shouldn't assume that just because a human is allowed to do something, a machine is automatically allowed to do the same thing, too.

Generally speaking, even one machine can do something, it doesn't automatically mean another machine is allowed to do that.

For example you can drive car with a normal driving license, but not a truck. In some states you can own a pistol but no automatic rifle.
I had parvovirus B19 a few years ago as well (mid to late 2019). I still have some nerve issues from it (I gave up on treating that; it presents like rheumatoid arthritis but the blood factors for that are missing). I'm surprised to hear that it's considered so rare; my wife caught it from me and also had the symptoms (huge swollen joints, interesting rash like the Trill from Star Trek, incredible back pain — and she too has lingering nerve issues). My daughter also got the classic presentation of fifth disease, which is how I narrowed down what it was. A weirdly under-documented illness, especially considering it can lead to lifelong arthritis.

Indeed. Inputs are likely fair use but if you output Mickey Mouse, Disney will definitely he on you.

The NYPD promises an officer will respond to a noise complaint within 8 hours, and only if there are no other emergencies. That’s a terrible SLA. A drone can probably respond to five calls an hour since it doesn’t get stuck in traffic.

Recording a back yard in NYC, where there is no reasonable expectation of privacy (it’s visible from everywhere), from a drone which has probable cause (a complaint) seems perfectly reasonable.

I work in structural steel fabrication and construction, qualified boiler-maker here in Australia (Tasmania), 20 years in the game and 5 years in IT (up to remote-hands for the likes of Akamai and Google), and now driving a 4kW fiber laser cutter.

SkyMarshal's advice is sound. If you turn up, wearing steel cap books, an something resembling the appropriate clothing, and say something like "I can start now", I think you're in with a chance.

Here in Australia, particularly Tasmania, it's been so hard to find people willing to turn most days of the week I'd say you could get a job here tomorrow (okay, maybe not Saturday) for any number of construction companies.

My contact details are in my profile. I could potentially flick you some drawings for you to study so you'd be able to walk in and say "I can read a fabrication drawing and a marking-plan".
