> Many difficult tasks can be decomposed to trivial tasks.

Could you or anyone provide examples of this?

Because in my experience, it's not true. I've found that difficult tasks may have parts that are trivial, but always have a truly difficult core, which is what makes them difficult in the first place.

Whereas there are plenty of long/boring tasks that can be decomposed into individual trivial tasks, but the whole point is that nobody's calling them difficult though. Just long and boring.

But maybe I'm misunderstanding, so I'd love any counterexamples.
Chat GPT saves me the most time when it incorporates the things I didn’t know, I didn’t know into an answer to my problem even when its answer overall is wrong.

It pulls in the unknown unknowns.
I recently enjoyed reading Henryk Sienkiewicz’s Trilogy,[1] which are rooted in history but with a thread of fervent nationalism running through them. Maybe it’s more palatable if it’s presented as fiction?

If and when that happens, either we switch to the open source models that are rapidly catching up, or it keeps our interest despite the adverts by consistently improving and staying ahead of the open source models.
Are there places where the global sea level mentioned, has risen? Not addressed in the article despite them quoting that from the original report.
There is a series-of-tubes metaphor that makes sense, but not his.

>And if you don't understand, those tubes can be filled and if they are filled, when you put your message in, it gets in line and it's going to be delayed by anyone that puts into that tube enormous amounts of material, enormous amounts of material.

He thinks the Internet is like a pneumatic tube, where too much usage means people are entirely cut off for a time. In truth it's like a water pipe. Too much usage results in reduced throughput to each user, but no one is even temporarily cut off.

Networks avoid queues. A well-designed network will handle email with no perceptible slowdown even under extreme congestion. The Senator's metaphor predicts that email will regularly take days to arrive because of congestion. The standard pipe analogy predicts this will almost never happen.

But really, the Internet is like a global packet-switched network of networks. We deserve politicians who can handle the truth.
The US is a huge market within, has very revenue focused companies and an active "Homeland security"/national interest management ongoing.

I totally believe that the first two points reject 90% of international influence and standardization.
> No idea what you mean that the Nazis behaviour regarding slaws, not just Russians, isn't talked about in the West. I am in the West, and I defenitely didn't learn about from Russian books. Also, claiming the West sees Russians as sub-human is a strong claim, to put it mildly...

The comment you replied to is somehow assuming that all slavs are / were Russians and that the Germans didn't somehow also murder a ton of Ukrainians and Poles, among others.

And it’s crazy how cheap our tools are! My plumber has a $10,000 camera. Meanwhile, for less than $2000, I have the same laptop that I would own if I were a billionaire (shameless plug for Framework). And that’s my most expensive piece of productivity equipment, by far (especially when annualized… sure I can spend $5k on a desk but I won’t need a new one every few years and it would very clearly be a luxury, not a productivity boost over a $1000 desk).

I am personally happy to pay for productivity enhancing software. If you make software that helps me and charge a reasonable price (and Jetbrains prices are quite reasonable), I want you to get rich and make an immediate profit so that you are incentivized to keep making and maintaining great software and don’t feel compelled to sell.

Hopefully that's true. If Apple misclassifies some benign action an app makes I have a feeling it'll be nigh-impossible for users to continue using the app, and I always worry that automated negative consequences my come to my Apple developer account.

Greenfield? Unless we disagree on the definition of greenfield (no prior work), then a plane spotter app is anything but greenfield. GitHub returns 11 repos for JavaScript alone.

Check out the time he bailed out his brother and Solar City at the expense of Tesla shareholders. Definitely some sharp financial engineering type shenanigans going on in that deeply conflicted transaction.

> Also tue, the Nazis basically started WW2 to murder all the jews.

Hitler was driven by his desire to reunify the German peoples and his wanting to enable Germans to become economically self-sufficient and militarily secure. Within Germany, these goals were supported because the Treaty of Versailles, which had ended WWI, put terms on Germany such as paying financial reparations, disarm, give up territory, and give up all its oversears colonies.

After annexing Austria and Czechosloviakia, Germany invaded Poland in 1939. The French and British had guaranteed support should this happen, so they declared war on Germany, which started WWII.

As a pentester this new wave of GPT-led development has been both a nightmare and a dream.

A nightmare because we have “devs” using it to develop applications laden with vulnerabilities. As an example we found a web app with account enumeration/forced browsing vulnerabilities that would have led to a sizable chunk of our user base being exposed. It would later come out that he had copied and pasted everything from ChatGPT.

When I asked him if he trusted everything he found on StackOverflow he said no as if I was an idiot. When I asked him why he trusted ChatGPT he said “because I asked it to check the code for any vulnerabilities and it said there were none”.

But, like I said, it’s also been a dream. I’ve seen an uptick in sites with poor practices on bug hunting platforms and I’ve banked about 35k. So that’s nice.
Also not access times, so OP doesn’t care if the OS frees the pages again.
What's next for models like GPT now that a lot of sites will outright block CCBot, GPTBot and others? How big of an impact is this going to have on the LLM itself? Isn't OpenAI in a bit of a pickle in regards to this?

The problem with my question is the following:

Content gets syndicated anyway, so if DigitalOcean blocks GPTBot (which it does), pretty much every single one of those tutorials will be syphoned off to other sites, which are unlikely to block GPTBot themselves. How will DigitalOcean (or any other company) address this?

It looks to me like it's Catch 22 in every direction you look, and unless you're someone like The New York Times who can afford to outright protect the data with licensing...

It's just something thats been on my mind lately but I don't understand the finer details of it.
I’ve got a 20 year old G-shock with solar that’s never been serviced that’s been worn for thousands of miles of offshore sailing. It gets the time every day at 3am from some 60kHZ radio signal in Colorado and as long as I wear it a few times a year all day in the sun, it never dies. Its time has been within ~500ms of GPS time continuously since 2004. I leave it on a small metal rack near a south facing window with the antenna touching the rack for increased reception of the nightly time calibration, and a bit of solar in the morning.
One day it will die, or some of the rubber on it will rip and I will replace it with the same model from Casio. It’s still only ~$100 and looks identical just with a new battery and more modern antenna/electronics.

Hoping for an EPIRB on my wrist or maybe even just a 162 MHz emergency AIS transmitter that fits on the wrist sometime in the next 5 years.
I agree. Zero emissions is only the first step. It's like removing the foot from the gas pedal. But the car is still moving very fast and we need negative emissions to prevent crashing into a wall.

Unfortunately even zero emissions seems like a miracle at this point.

I wonder why my Advent of Code repositories need a "supply chain security". I do not think it is nice to mandate this. Not every repository is kubernetes. Would have been better to leave it as a per-repository setting.
A weird way to say Germany started WW2. Glad we can agree they did so.
> How do you simply adapt to temperatures which are literally unlivable such as wet bulb temperatures hitting 33C+ in areas such as the Middle East and South Asia?

You move.

Climate change of the magnitude you are talking about does not happen overnight. That change happens over a few hundred years, not over a weekend.
It’s not actually that hard to quantify. Per kWh, the US got 365g of CO2 per kWh (804lb/MWh) in 2022 compared to 385g/kWh for Germany.

It's not high art, I'll concede that point, but it has some value in its unaltered state. There's been countless times I was looking for something only to have my hopes dashed because it was being made available from this channel alone. I'll also concede I'm not the average consumer of entertainment. But if this stuff isn't for people like me, then who? If no one cares, why produce it all? If all it does is frustrate the people that do care, why produce it all?

Watermarks have their place, if you're the original creator, but to take works from others and slap your ad on it is pretty despicable (relatively).
Hodoof if it where spelled in English. V is probably the correct letter to use for W instead of F but its sounds closer to F when pronounced

Exactly, at this stage the panic inducing "OMG we're all going to die/out children will live in MadMax world for sure" mental state should be added to the long list of dangers caused by the climate around the climate change. Right after the danger of knee-jerk deindustrialisation of the West and collapse of democracies in favor of autocracies. These countries (like China) not only double their greenhouse emissions for each tonne we limit, they also actively promote fear and panic amongst our populations that leads to the very deindustrialisation that will form the basis of their power over us.

However, I remain optimistic, yes there is climate change, yes it will have a range of effects on people depending on where they live. From the lengthening of the growing season and all the positive outcomes, through minor inconvenience, to crop failures/lack of water and death of the others. Sadly, some of the poorest regions on the planet will be hit the worst and some of the most wealthy will reap the benefits.

Without actual physical power over countries like China there is no stopping of climate change. The best we(democracies) can do is to retain as much power as possible to help as many people as possible during this time.

Imagine scenario 1 where a climate change is slowed down by 1C over next 20 years at the cost of entire deindustrialisation of Europe, and it's subsequent subjugation to Russian-Chinese partnership.

Then scenario 2 where we have 1C of extra warming now not in 20 years, but Europe remains free, wealthy and able to continue to help poorer countries, accept refugees etc. Which world is going to be a better one?

I think people will choose option 2.
ChatGPT took something people were doing manually and does it at higher quality and far larger scale.

The thing?

Depending on how charitable I'm feeling, either "internet comments" or "mansplaining".
German electricity mix is ~50% renewable (https://energy-charts.info/charts/renewable_share/chart.htm?...).

US renewables + nuclear ist at ~40% (https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2023/03/us-electricity-energy...).

Also note the growth rate: German renewable electricity fraction went from 26% to 50% while the US went from 12% to 23% (since 2012). So they appear significantly more serious about climate change than the US.

Total CO2/capita/year is also significantly higher for the US (15 tons vs 9 tons, approx.)
A lot of these comments feel similar to how people reacted to early personal computers. With a kind of superiority around how 'serious' tasks were done on mainframes, and these 'toys' would never amount to anything.

I think it's an exciting time where lots of people are getting computers to help them with their problems in a way I haven't really seen since HyperCard.

I feel like this is very much in the Hacker spirit.
Stackoverflow is the same: use the code if you understand it. But with AI I have the fear people won't take the time to understand the code - copy, paste and it's done, after all it comes from AI!

How maintainable is software that was not fully understood when it was built? When it breaks in 6 months because some api changed. I guess the solution will be to get AI to fix it ... Sigh.
This is an extremely useful trick for foiling the optimizer. To make it explicit, it goes like this:

asm volatile("" : "+r"(my_val) ::);

This means "an empty assembly statement that you must assume contains side effects, and takes my_val as an input register and modifies it somehow." Note that because there is no assembly, this is perfectly portable (across architectures, maybe not across compilers, since only GCC and Clang know this syntax).

I've used it to get the compiler to forget that function pointers cannot be null, for example.

Of course you are still in "implementation defined behavior" land re: the standard. But it's often pretty easy to reason like the compiler does once you know your target architecture, and once your values are all unconstrained integers.

> Then it is correct? Many of the Fugu APIs don't work. I didn't say none

You claimed that support was significantly worse than on Mac or Windows, and the chart certainly doesn't bear that out.

And your examples seem... pretty cherry picked? I mean, there's junk that fails everywhere. If color pickers are core to your job, then... OK, I guess. It's a hole. It doesn't seem to remotely justify the kind of bile and hatred you're deploying here.
Currently the iPad has been filling that role for the most part. His peers seem to be on iPhone/iMessage, so he’s able to participate in those group chats after school. This seems to be sufficient for now. If anything, I’m hearing from him about the kids who don’t have any access to iMessage as being more left out.
Great effort. I think it would be nice to have a link to the map of each street not just Wikipedia.

I checked the ones in Iraq, and I couldn't identify any of them, but from the names I would guess they are in the Kurdish region in the north.
I still have netflix dvds, although I only get one now and usually take a long time to watch it. But I started January 2001. I bought an expensive (at the time) dlp projector and make a large screen and stand out of blackout liner and some wood from home depot that I would put up in my living room to watch it. My kids were young so I would watch movies in the dark after they went to bed. They still give me a hard time about "Goodbye Dragon Inn" which they say was the worst movie ever, and my daughter cried at the end of the Bicycle Thief. We did not (and still don't) have cable tv so that and VHS tapes was how we got entertainment. I'm not sure when it stopped being a thing for us, but gradually things like Netflix streaming and youtube became more of what we watched. So I don't think I will really miss the service so much but I think I held onto it for more or less nostalgic reasons.
For non-commercial accessibility tools. Because Reddit doesn’t know how to fix accessibility in their own app. A shitshow, either way you look at it.

> ChatGPT is a junior programmer who knows everything and can do shallow things (like this) instantly.

But how do I know that the code doesn't do something malicious? As in, calling a .ru or .cn flight tracker (and thus giving it my geo position, and the geo-positions of everyone using the app I had designed via ChatGPT) instead of a genuine, non-adversarial one?

You could say: "it's using opensky-network.org, not a .ru nor a .cn domain, it's right there int he code, it's genuine" which would be correct on the surface, but as someone who has had no connection to this space how do I know who opensky-network.org is without first going on their website and checking who they are? And thus increasing my development time and approaching said development time to a real-life solution.

And I only gave one simple adversarial scenario, one that can be easily checked and debunked, but there are other many scenarios more convoluted than that.
No. Blocking JavaScript to access paywalled content is not stealing.
> Three of these VxDs comprise the very heart of Chicago: Virtual Machine Manager (VMM32.VXD), Configuration Manager (CONFIGMG), Installable Filesystem Manager (IFM). VMM32 is essentially the Chicago kernel. It handles memory management, event handling, interrupt handling, device driver loading and initialization, the creation of virtual machines, and the scheduling. CONFIGMG handles plug and play. IFM coordinates filesystem access, provides a disk buffer, and provides a 32 bit protected mode I/O access system.

I'm so intrigued by how all of this must work. It really puts to death the notion that Windows 9x was 'DOS-based'. But to end the prejudice for good, I'm holding out hope that we will get an authorised release of the sources within our lifetime.
Well, the holocaust of bullets started very early. In a sense, the final solution was, as cynical as it is, by the logostocal challenges of killing all jews by bullets (after there was shooting war going on at the same time) and the practical, and ideological, impossible solution of deporting them. Hence mass extermination camps as the only logical solution. Cynical bastards, all of them.

To get some better feeling, and insihjt, I can only recommend the original film, German, about the Wannsee Conference based on the actual meeting minutes.

"the US has undoubtedly the best higher education system in the world now"...Are you sure about that? It is almost impossible to find undergraduate education for electrochemistry, for example https://www.acs.org/education/students/highschool/collegepla...
Hence applicants for PhD level education come from all over the world just not the US. Elecgtrochemistry is the backbone for battery, fuel cell or electrolyzer development. For companies, startups in particular, this becomes a challenge when you need to hire qualified team members, you invest in them and after two or three years they have to leave the country and you start from scratch. In the UK if your team member works on an employer (!) sponsored visa for 5 years s/he becomes a UK resident.

on occasion

Exactly. These are stunts designed to keep morale high, in Ukraine and the West. Their impact on the outcome of the war is negligible. These are Ukraine + NATO dealing as much damage as they think they can get away with. And Russia absorbing the blows because the alternative—open conflict with NATO and curtailing the freedoms of millions of Ukrainians in Russia[0]—is considered a worse option. For now at least.

The Russian use of drones appears to be less effective then the Ukrainian use for whatever reason.

But thanks to the censorship in place we wouldn’t know, would we? In fact, Ukrainian officials have admitted more than once that the Russians know exactly what they are hitting. And the effectiveness of Ukrainian air defense is obviously way exaggerated.[1] The fact that Ukrainians have admittedly lost more than one fighter jet trying to shoot down drones and cruise missiles is telling.

will surely change some ways that wars are fought

Yes. No one is safe from this, every defense can be (fairly cheaply) overwhelmed.

But the situation here is unique in that Ukrainians can pretend they are not paying the price, and Russia does not respond with significant escalation. For now at least. As for NATO, well, they are paying a price. Bunkers containing NATO officers have been busted. Flimsy cover stories of freak accidents. Remember that B-2 going up in flames? Happened shortly after the attacks on Russian nuclear bases. Predictable, professional, restrained. All in all it’s something, but not enough to deter NATO, or even stop them from escalating slowly.

But then "Putin is someone who generally thinks that revenge is a dish best served cold," [CIA director] Burns said at an annual security forum in Aspen.

[0]: For these attacks usually have a local component. And from the flight patterns of NATO planes we can tell that Western ISR is essential to attacks on Crimea, for example.

[1]: A thing never talked about is the price paid by civilians. For there is a cost if you do AD over populated areas, you are trading civilians for military targets. Which, 18 months in, shouldn’t be located in cities in the first place. Random impacts of AD missiles, both Soviet and Western, are well documented. As are impacts of debris and downed missiles/drones, of course.
