What worries me most is that this is likely to only increase the gap between large corporate creator and small independent creators.

Large AI companies probably are not too worried about making deals with corporate content creators. Having access to content from a trigger-happy creator is only going to increase their advantage over competitors, after all. And if those creators were instead to try to introduce legislation, the AI companies would risk losing access to content from small creators without the means to sue too.

We seem to be moving into a world where corporate content cannot in any way be reused, remixed, or even archived. You cannot even own a copy - it is only accessible for a monthly fee and can disappear at any time. Meanwhile, anything created by independent creators is fair game to steal and rip off. Copyright was intended to promote and protect human creativity, but instead we got a rent-seeking mechanism used to stifle original creation.
There's complexity in there, but magic? I'm not sure what you mean. Metaprogramming? The reactivity layer? Otherwise, it's hardly more complex than competing "frameworks". The internals of the rendering engine are a bit cryptic but are otherwise very straight forward to figure out if you want to add custom behavior.

I am really not an expert in the micro-world, but from the times I have worked with microscopy, i know a lot of materials (and surely such a heterogenous material as "grime") have more holes than swiss cheese. So, yes, of course, some particles can cover some spikes, but "covered in a layer of grime" (which implies, well, coverage) doesn't seem likely to me.
Is the claim about simplicity true? What I want is Javascript helper library that's easy to jump back into. Every time I do it something in react, I feel like I need to go through the trouble of relearning it again(along with the build system) . I don't spend enough time writing js that whatever I learn really sticks after a while.

Javascript on its own is just a language so I can just get going on a code base.

Given that LLM content is generated with some randomness, and assuming that published LLM content is filtered to be useful for humans, then even in the case where no content is being generated by humans, I would expect the published content to contain new information that is generated by humans.

that e.g. standard JS syntax highlighters wouldn't break on code written in

My personfeat of glory on windows 95 happened in ~1997 (I had recently moved to Seattle and was the IT CAD Manager for a very large architectural firm on the west coast...

I deployed many 95 machines...

This friend of a friend had somehow managed to go into the windows (aesthetics) setting and somehow changed ALL the component colors to black - so you could navigate with the keyboard through every menu in Windows...

I had to use muscle memory to get from boot through hitting all the right keys to navigate to control panel and open the settings and reset the colors back to normal, just by clicking through the menus via the keyboard...

> The denial is interesting. In the developed world, it's only a significant factor in the US, Canada, and Australia

It depends on where the denial is hitting. E.g. plastic straw bans are made fun of, probably legitimately. Anything that is something an individual can do and feel good about is often not something that will be effective compared to the massive amount of pollution and waste being generated through the general uplift of people out of poverty.

In terms of the US: they're leading the way with Tesla on electrification of vehicles, which is a great, large-scale solution to a big source of pollution (or if not a solution, a key element in the larger solution). Canada and Australia I know less about.
I installed Windows 95 on our 486 (with 24 MB RAM) using the disc from my uncle's Gateway 2000 G6-180. Initially the OEM installer refused to upgrade from Windows 3.11, so I renamed C:\WINDOWS\WIN.COM to WIN.MOC and it upgraded without a hitch.

I'm surprised that they included the "no upgrade" check and then make it so easy to bypass. Internet access was rare in 1995, so a stricter check could've been pretty effective.

Kubespray is fine if you can spare hours of Dev time. Where I used to work I wasn't involved directly with maintaining the k8s cluster using kubespray, but from the daily meetings it was clear that it is no easy task.

Sure it helps with deploying a serviceable production cluster, but when you start throwing at it things like disaster recovery, the automation scripts can grow quite large and complex, even leveraging kubespray.

If you can, use a managed service like gks.

I don't own a vehicle, and I'm not very strong, so taking an item somewhere for return shipping can get very tricky.

Last year, I purchased a "stair climbing" hand truck through Wal*Mart, but it was sold by a third party. Big mistake. The device was defective, and had a tendency to fail catastrophically while on stairs and drop its load. I initiated the refund process, and eventually, the vendor gave me 100% back, and said to keep the item.

I was very nervous the other week as I ordered a spring mattress, about 50 pounds worth. It's shipped rolled up with all the air taken out. Thankfully, I'm keeping it.

The biggest return I've made is a rather heavy UPS unit that failed. It was under warranty -- thanks, TrippLite! I took a taxi to the UPS store, and I just told them to package it up. No fuss.
I say you have saved it this long keep going. That drive seems to cost around $350. I use SSD drives for working storage and I use platters for archival. I believe the platters have a better recovery methods.

Do you have any opinions?

I guess some theoretical chemistry basics omitted in the short article wouldn't hurt:

In order to describe chemical reactions or atomic arrangements in terms of wave equations one normally treats the motion of the nuclei (slow/heavy) and the motion of the electrons (fast/light) separately simplifying the Schrödinger equation to the Born-Oppenheimer approximation.

In introductory chemistry textbooks [0] a diatomic example is mostly used as an illustration, for >2 atoms usually only the ground state is considered. This is because (1) in a diatomic setting the vibrational degree of freedom in the nucleus reduces to 1 and (2) the ground state can be well distinguished from other electronic states.

However when studying (advanced theoretical) chemistry or material sciences, polyatomic arrangement with tightly packed electronic states and a lot of nuclear degrees of freedom are the norm and the theory of so-called conical intersection of electronic energies essential in that regard.

Early on this was taken into account as the Jahn-Teller distortion[1]: a kind of spontaneous symmetry-breaking which seemed exotic when it was first described in the 1930s; in that same vein Teller later proposed an ultrarare occurrence within a few vibrational periods (sub-femtoseconds) by which a loss of electronic excitation was not followed by a photon being emitted: radiationless decay. Now, in refined orbital models [2] this seems to be a normal state of affairs e.g. in organic chemistry.[3]

Because of the tiny time scales involved theoretically predicted phenomena like a Geometrical phase/Berry phase (which itself has the Foucault pendulum in relation to Earth's latitude as its mechanical analogue [4]) have not been observed, yet. So borrowing from a topological analogue (Dirac points) [5] a quantum simulation seemed feasible.

To be honest the actual paper [6] linked in the article was hard to follow through so I found a similar paper [7] where the presentation of the general idea is more clear and concise.

You can use `parse` which will throw an exception if the data does not match the schema, or `safeParse` if you want to manually check.

> the imperative check for `success` seems unfortunate.

Yes! But the cool thing is that `success` being `true` narrows the type and ensures that the `data` field is present. You cannot access `data` without checking for success

Here's another example showing those concepts: https://stackblitz.com/edit/typescript-wbuikz?file=index.ts

Who is going to enforce those laws?

You do realize that the US is also down from its' peak of CO2/Capita production, whereas china is getting there per-captia. (13 US, ~9 China), and the trend doesn't seem to be stopping? Per capita becomes kind of a bad comparitor when the trend is towards parity, and the overall output isn't slowing.

I've been around long enough to see that the climate change stuff really only ratchets up in the US when going into an election year, and if the correct candidate makes it in, it immediately stops, regardless of their actual climate change policy. (Sure, let's ignore the drilling that's going on under the current administration. Or the oil permits being given out. Or the lessenings of tarrifs on import goods leading to an increase of fantastic microplastics in your drinking water and additional CO2 emissions overseas). There really is no room to not be harsh on articles like this. The only thing articles like this are doing is proving the denlialists right.

My first reaction was that I would pronounce 'ę' in both 'część' and 'język' in the same way, i.e. without 'n'. But I can see that pronunciation of these words as per https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/cz%C4%99%C5%9B%C4%87 and https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/j%C4%99zyk disagrees. And then a quick search brought these 'simple' four rules (https://sjp.pwn.pl/poradnia/haslo/Wymowa-samoglosek-nosowych...) for pronouncing 'ą' and 'ę' in the middle of a word ;-)

So yeah, everything is easy, simple and obvious when you are a native speaker and I stand corrected :)
The problem seems to stem from interactivity on the web. Of course, there's a spectrum here... static content pages on one side and games on the other.

The problem as it stands today is most web pages are on the static/low interactivity side but use solutions from the other end of the spectrum.

People keep reaching for the high interactivity solutions... why? Is it the education systems today pushing people to reach for the hammer they know? Is it the tooling/experience on the other side is so bad people avoid it?

How shocking! A monopoly right granted by the government to exclude others from use of an idea (patents) and creative works (intellectual property) was intended to help the little guy, but ended up helping the big boys extract rents instead, while exploiting the little guy because they sold their rights to survive and get access to a platform?

It’s almost as if governments (even capitalist ones) work with industry and concentration of power perpetuates this kind of consolidation further.

OP here. I think it's a bit reductive to think that GPT simply copy pastes. It sometimes does. But my experience working with it nearly daily since December, is that it's also quite capable at reasoning. My sense is it most likely saw the API endpoint in another context, learned how it was parsed, and then adapted it to my situation. Perhaps it even parsed the documentation page itself.
> This is not even close to the scientific consensus on climate change. It’s just as unscientific and counterproductive as the drivel repeated by climate denialists.

Nonsense: climate scientists have been making accurate predictions since the 1970s and, more importantly those have become more precise over time because their goal is to do scientific research and see where the results lead rather than starting from the precept “we can’t reduce profits for polluters” and working backwards. You can see the difference in how many different things deniers have latched onto over the years – each time we’re told that some minor gap completely disproves the entire field, and then when that’s debunked they move on to some other random point, very similar to creationists’ “god of the gaps” where it’s left with increasingly insignificant claims between multiple lines of robust argument and evidence.

Not speaking for ML, but I love jsonl as a distribution format. Lots of storage overhead vs a more appropriate bulk container, but it makes it trivial to stream, sample, concatenate, etc. Anything else (eg csv or parquet) is going to require better tooling and/or just a little shell magic to handle headers.
> Vs EMV-based systems like London where you have to stop and wait for the card reader

Throughput depends on the people being ready.

In London the TfL gates (both train/underground) have a delay on closing, so it's possible for the next person's pass (whatever it is) to be scanned before the gates close. At busy times there are enough people already ready with their passes that the gates don't shut at all between scans and there is steady flow of people passing through. It only fails when someone faffs a bit too long with their pass/phone/watch/etc and you get a temporary stall.

Even approaching a closed gate it's possible, with a bit of practice and an outstretched arm, to walk through without having to break stride.

You do have to be careful of some people intentionally using an invalid card, resulting in the gates closing, and the person behind them letting them through with their subsequent scan whilst being left at the gate themselves (easily solved by then going to see one of the gate operatives and explaining the situation).

The things that aren't quite there yet, in terms of speed, are the QR codes being used for digital rail tickets, they have a separate optical reader (obviously) that doesn't work quickly/easily enough to walk through without breaking stride as you have to faff with a piece of paper or your phone rather than a simple NFC.
