But I didn't say that. You just made that assumption.

Just because the article is ridiculous does not mean I disagree with every single thing in there. I just think it's ridiculous, particularly in tone.

And also, I stand behind saying there's plenty of food and water. So, by all means "conserve food and water" if you want to, but saying that people "need" to is overstating the reality.
Is this somehow symptonatic considering (a presumed lack of) adoption of RTF today, compared to formats such as markdown?

You’re missing the point, it’s not about scrum it’s about making the work look like it’s way more than it is to pad the metric.
> supposedly a tool to manage agile teams, is how every ticket has one person assigned to it.

It's whoever owns the issue. You can make it an epic and assign particular sub-tasks to team members if it's a teamwork.

Well in fairness, if you're comparing Postgres to S3, there's no universe where S3 doesn't win on every way of pricing things out (unless you're only ever using the data from the same machine running Postgres perhaps).
> There is a contingent of Congress that does not want to make tax preparation easier because it aligns with their narrative that taxes are bad. The more painful tax preparation is, the more sympathy they find with this narrative.

And yet we have paycheck withholding, which seems to be a relatively complex system and is also the thing that makes actually paying your taxes easy.

Agreed, but also: enough people are disagreeing with the moral of the story that I think we can no longer assume anything in the article is preaching to the choir.

Data access is a good step, but it would be nice if the gov provided tools to do a declaration online. Of course the Provinces would need to get on board.

I don't like relying on third party apps. Especially that they're now all cloud based so they keep a copy of all your financials and it sucks. Turbotax even does a credit check (via equifax) on me once a year for god knows what reason...

in the uk, most pay tax by an even simpler method, Pay as You Earn (PAYE). the taxes are all filed by the employer, and the online website allows taxpayers to add anything else
Let us disagree on what is "obvious". Given an input and an output, you believe that the complexity of the output proves that intelligence takes place.

I agree that ChatGPT is more than a proxy. Unlike Clever Hans, it is processing the content of the question asked. But it is like Clever Hans in that the query is processed by looking for a signal in the content of the data used to train ChatGPT.

The real question is where this intelligent behavior comes from? Why does statistical processing lead to these insights?

I believe that the processing is not intelligent primarily because I see that holes in the data available leads to holes in reasoning. The processing is only as good as the dynamics of the content that it being processed. This is the part that I believe will become obvious over time.

Why did the SC need a Goldilocks decision to overturn it? Examples from since the Constitution were invalid but examples before the Constitution were also invalid.

Ruth did not "disagree with it". She was critical of it, which is very very different.

Specifically she thought that focusing on the doctors right to decide on treatment course was a bad vector to enshrine a woman's control over her own bodily function.

Similarly she saw the rallying cry and felt that if the SC hadn't stepped in a more natural process would have resulted in a similar status over a longer time period anyway.

"If the SC hadn't done something everyone else would have" and " it didn't go far enough" are not "disagreed with".
Status quo bias.

This can be true on a spaceship too.
The TL role is a little restrictive IMHO. I’ve worked with very junior people who have a very effective ability to pair and improve others’ effectiveness. Perhaps as they learn they also teach.
So why are you downplaying this?
It depends on how much you're getting back total. 100 rows returning a kb of data is the same as one row with 100kb. I get worried when the total expected data returned by a query is more than 200kb or so.

Union workers have a right to strike. They don't have the right to use force to prevent others from doing their job. In fact, lots of picket lines in recent years have featured a police presence to enforce this.

pointless because these modern algorithms support "Adaptable work factor" what it means is that you can control computational work to your likings

That’s honestly the right mindset. Our brain loooves conspiracy theories. In a way, it’s more comforting to us to think we are lead by very intelligent mischievous people than to realize most of us just do an ok job, have imposter syndrome, etc.
The real question is how much money is unreported. Lol
Exactly! So much of what the Bauhaus designed was meant to use these new materials and machines to build simple and beautiful products for everyone. It was meant to allow everyone to have access to the same sort of products that used to be reserved for the wealthy. We love more decorative styles, but they're so expensive. Bauhaus was taking a look at those styles and asking, "How can we use modern tools and materials to provide something beautiful for everyone?"
If you're only querying the JSON data and not returning it in full often, it's almost certainly fine. It's the cost of transit (and parsing/serialization) that's a problem.

Randomised trial of psychiatrists' personal vs. professional perspectives
From a technical perspective, sure: it's clear why it functions like that, and there's no technical reason it shouldn't. From a user interface perspective— likely what most people would judge with intuition— that doesn't matter. Processes that mimick familiar interaction patterns cause dissonance when they don't match our mental model of those interactions, and familiar conversation is about as familiar as you get. People we interact with know the things we explicitly tell them or guide them through figuring out, and people intuitively interact with these applications as they would with people because they've deliberately adopted the voice of an individual person. Additionally, for SaaS products, we're used to them maintaining state automatically.

(As annoying as our input can be, this is why dev teams that try to solve problems for non-dev users have designers.)
It's not my intention to sound rude, but I'm pretty sure that understanding the difference between a website's domain and a post URL does not require any legal training.
Seeing “online ChatGPT” as a feature makes me cringe… is this what we have come to in 2023?! - An UI for a web server boasts of ability to toss all its data to a LLM hosted behind closed doors.
A simple tax code is a simple one for a computer to calculate.

1. Input the taxpayers's income from all taxable sources.

2. Lookup what tax bracket you're in based on that income.

3. Calculate the appropriate tax bill based on that percentage.

4. Subtract that from whatever has already been taxed out of their payroll for the year.

5. Bill them or refund them appropriately.

No humans would need to be part of the process if it were that simple, saving money and making errors less likely. Also, the simpler the tax code is the less computing hours it will require to complete the entire country's taxes, meaning faster refunds and less energy usage. Simpler taxes are even better for the environment!
Talk to intel.

On AMD ECC support is pretty much standard on every chip they make, and always has been. Even my shitty 4-core phenom from over ten years ago on an el-cheapo motherboard supported swapping it's regular DIMMs for ECC ones. You're never going to get ECC "for free" but it would be totally possible for everyone to pay the cost once and just move to ECC-only for everything from now on.

Except intel, the company that brought software-locked hardware features to x86, love to price-differentiate.

Its a business group not a labor union (it has more in common with the Chamber of Commerce than the AFL-CIO), and it doesn’t have monopoly control over licensing or the legal practice of medicine (which is controlled by state agencies in each state.)

As an active mushroom hunter (living in Russia), can confirm that it is likely.
Mushroom gathering is extremely popular here, so experienced mushroom hunters are looking for second and third tier mushrooms, which are not that edible and have nasty mimics.
So there is a moment when you confuse a champignon to a death cap, or Kuehneromyces mutabilis(summer stump mushroom) to Galerína margináta(deadly as the death mushroom), or parasol mushroom to fly agaric.
Especially if you have bad eyes.

Source: mushrooms in my stomach that I gathered and ate today.

Maybe we should have as a public policy that when a certain topic is of sufficient public interest, and we observe some amount of $ registered for lobbying, the government should be able to allocate a proportional amount of funds to have policymakers receive competent advice from other sides of the argument. (distributed according to some sound independent judgement)

It seems that we're just leaving a lot of things to who can outgun in $ the other side lately. And sound government will never win in this race.
This is perfect. I've been thinking of setting up a system to automatically record the last couple minutes of every hour of my local NPR station, Shazam the bump music that they play, and post the results as a searchable schedule (since they refuse to do it themselves). I can't tell you how annoying it is to hear like 15 seconds of an interesting song, and have no way of knowing what it is if one's phone can't be reached in time (and to have it happen, like, twice a week).

...If anyone wants to steal this idea and do it themselves, I won't mind.
Now that I have disposable income, and a fair amount of common sense, I would probably ask an electrician-friend to help me out on a project like this.

IMO good algorithms can only get you so far, even if you use modern high resistance hashing if your user uses 'password1234' it will be cracked, as computation power grows we need to use stronger and stronger passwords, this is a losing game especially for the average Joe.

Modern solutions move away from passwords to MFA and/or digital/physical tokens which there we can control the security level with high precision.

Unions may be different in your part of the world. In America, it's one of the only ways for blue collar or other production-oriented workers to have any degree of leverage at the negotiation table. We are treated like cattle in the workplace, and though unions come with their fair share of problems (due to it being yet another leadership structure to work within), the idea of workers holding power as a group is essential, because it reflects reality. None of that VC money is getting a return without workers to do the work. Most places in America are not unionized, but the ones that do pay better than other work in the area, even after union dues.

I see it as very much a union-by-union thing, much like you would an employer.

Now, some programmers may be able to negotiate good terms for themselves, but the vast majority of that stage is simply how silver your tongue is. Why should you be paid better because you got a better charisma roll with the interviewer? I would want my coworkers to be paid the same as me for the same experience. A senior with 10 years in the field, naturally, would be paid much more.

It's strange you say developers can negotiate, when there've been quite a few layoffs as of late and we see plenty of stories of people having trouble staying in tech. Which is it? The only thing that can give you credible sway is learning rarer or more in-demand skills, and putting together projects that show you understand how to use them. And for how long will that last? A union is a lot harder to fight than an individual.

But yes, there are bad unions. If they're as bad as your alleged blue collar friends say, let's name them! Sometimes their politics or dues or seniority system sucks. Those systems deserve to be put on blast.

But strangely, no unions listed in your comment as bad.
Good points. Formal verification could close the trust gap.

What happens when we are no longer capable of understand many of the machines' activities will be another matter entirely.
Is that true when you factor in leverage?
That isn't what paycheck withholding is at all.

Paycheck withholding guarantees you pay your taxes.

I thought of that. But happened to the scores of aviation manufacturers here in the 1950s?
The fact that it takes 10 years is the thing we need to address.

For example, one of the problems has been that the government will change the construction requirements during construction. If the reactor was completed it would be allowed to continue using what it was licensed to use initially, but if it's half completed they will change the requirements and require them to start over. This could be solved by using the requirements in place on the day construction begins rather than the day construction ends, which is what would have been permitted if construction had taken less time, which in turn allows construction to take less time.

You might also consider the nature of an issue to determine whether it should prevent the plant from being commissioned. If two pipes are too close together and it would cause the material to fatigue in 15 years instead of the expected 30, this is a problem that needs to be fixed, but it is one that could reasonably be fixed two years after operations begin instead of holding up the start of operations for two years.

I lucked out and took these courses in order:

1. Algebra-based "just apply the formula" d=vt, y=v_0*t+gt^2/2.

2. Calc I, where the previous formulas now made complete sense and served as mnemonics.

3. Calc-based stats, calc-based physics.

I'd recommend this to anyone.

Definitely didn't work as I expected, but mostly just because I'm on mobile. I had to do a lot of extra clicks to do what I'd expect. HOWEVER, aside from UX it's functionally sufficient and that's more of the point, I think.

But just as a suggestion to OP: in mobile, clicking a feed should take you to that feed. Currently you click a feed, there isn't any confirmation of that selection being applied, and you have to close the menu to see the feed again.
The way math teaching is arranged in most US public schools eschews the principles of mastery learning.

Passing a class requires a D or whatever overall, and may not even require passing a final exam.

If you 'pass' Algebra I with a C, and then you move into Algebra II, what is the most likely outcome? Maybe you scrape by with a D?

And the standards for graduating high school are low and generally not based on measuring learning or capability. That's why, at least in California, the % of students who graduate high school (complete 12th grade) is much higher than the % of 11th grade students who meet state standards in Math and English Language Arts.

For example the latest AMD Genoa has 12 memory channels per socket, at dual socket and with enough DIMMs that's a 75x speed advantage even if you compare with RAID0 of high perfomance NVMe.
I was taking a calcium pill (eating bananas too for K) and wondering why my cramps persisted. I added MgO and (poof) the cramps vanished and other good side-effects appeared immediately.

Though Ca and Mg are often combined, some combinations may be marketed differently. For example "Rolaids" is sold primarily as an antacid but is little more than calcium:magnesium oxides in the ratio 1:5. It tastes better than most CaMg supplements so, if someone wants to merely try a supplement, I recommend Rolaids!

Most Ca+Mg supplements have a ratio 1:2 of the oxides.
A month or so ago I was doing some analysis on our mailing list traffic. I had a complex SQL query (involving tables mapping variations of email addresses to names, and then names to companies they worked for within specific date ranges), that I'd last modified a year previously (the last time I was doing the same sort of analysis), and didn't feel like wrapping my head around the SQL again; so I pasted it into GPT-4 and asked it, "Can you modify this query to group all individuals with less than 1% total contributions into a single 'Other' category?" The query it spat out worked out of the box.

Whatever it's doing, at least for code, it's not a glorified Markov chain -- there's some sort of a model in there.
> People who bought 10 years ago for 200k do not want to sell it for 250k, because they paid more interest, let's say "initial price + interest = 300k" today.

Title implies a gross margin loss on each vehicle. But they’re just saying the division had a net loss and divided that loss across the number of cars sold.

Dumb article
Friends of mine worked at a place were they got a rock star programmer that churned out thousands of lines of code a week. And they eventually found themselves relegated to the role of cleaning up the mess. So they all quit.

Edit: Take rock stars 3000 lines of code a week and divide by one rock star + six experienced developers now doing nothing but bug fixes and it doesn't seem so super.
Why is the assumption the OS is the fault and not the app doing something it shouldn't be doing so the system slaps it? If the OS was at fault, would not the OS be crashing rather than the app. To me, it sounds like the OS is working nicely with a misbehaving app.

Maybe the better question would be if the OS SDK is to a state that doing naughty things is easier to do, but again, that's not the OS
