Yeah, but with an enormous ecological footprint.

Also, not suitable for small lightweight robots like drones.
Good move, but should have made them fire you instead.
Wow congratulations, I have very fond memories of grml, such a great tool, so happy to see it alive and going.
https://mc.bbbike.org/mc/ allows to compare 250 map styles, up to 8 per page (selector is bottom right of page). I'd like to see the snow map, rail infrastructure and power infrastructure map (https://openinframap.org/) added but it'd be overwhelming.
The most important question for me: did it stop inventing facts?

Fertility doesn’t have much to do with it after the kid is already born, and that’s when parental leave becomes relevant. The fact that women are still seen as the de facto parent responsible for childcare for all those nights and weekends is more a cultural thing than biological.

Who, exactly, stole what from whom, and when did this allegedly take place?
They do if the job is listed as being based in NY, which is what this law pertains to.

Please do hair next.
IIRC the 4 bases of DNA are easy to produce before life reactions, and they can form steps of the same size so the chains of the DNA spiral can go parallel. Adding more bases make everything more complicated. You need more versions of ATP, TTP, GTP and CTP and you a huge number of versions of tRNA. If I'm allowed to guess, I'd prefer a version of DNA with only 2 bases and longer codons.

(Are long codons a problem? We have codons of length 3 but the last base is somewhat ignored. Is it to hard to have codons of length 4 or 5? With 4 bases it would be a problem because you would need too many tRNA, but with 2 bases the number of tRNA is similar to ours.)
I use a Kindle Fire (non E-ink) tablet as a dedicated calendar viewing tool as:

1. It's very easy to put it into developer mode and set "don't lock screen if plugged in"

2. I can just open it to a web page of my calendar.

This is great as I don't get nerd-sniped into some dev project trying to set it all up and actually get a functional calendar so I don't miss things.
My local library has a TON of dvds I go through for free. I would check yours to see if they offer a similar service.

If the purpose of society is not for propagation into the future, I’m not sure what is.
This is the area I am most interested in. I have personal experience where every member of my division (~25-30 people, including my manager) was laid off and received severance. I was deemed too important and should stick around the empty office or move to remote work. I would have rather received a severance package and moved on. Employment lawyers confirmed that this was okay, and it just sucks to be me.

Now I'm in a gig that's WFH, with quite a few teammates also WFH, but we're effectively local to an office. There's a real possibility of my company making one of these descend on the office policies, and I will be left out of a severance package a second time. The state of worker rights is awful.
It would help if there were any consensus on what actually constitutes affordable housing.

This is the dagger that will make online schooling unviable.

ChatGPT already made it so that you could easily copy & paste any full-text questions and receive an answer with 90% accuracy. The only flaw was that problems that also used diagrams or figures would be out of the domain of ChatGPT.

With image support, students could just take screenshots or document scans and have ChatGPT give them a valid answer. From what I’ve seen, more students than not will gladly abuse this functionality. The counter would be to either leave the grading system behind, or to force in-person schooling with no homework, only supervised schoolwork.
What is that specific definition? It seems in many cases the term is used to AVOID being pinned to any specific definition.
My biggest complaint with OpenAI/ChatGPT is their horrible "marketing" (for lack of a better term). They announce stuff like this (or like plugins), I get excited, I go to use it, it hasn't rolled out to me yet (which is frustrating as a paying customer), and my only recourse is.... check back daily? They never send an email "Plugins are available for you!", "Voice chat is now enabled on your account!" and so often I forget about the new feature unless I stumble across it later.

Just now I opened the app, went to setting, went to "New Features", and all I saw was Bing Browsing disabled (unable to enable). Ok, I didn't even know that was a thing that worked at one point. Maybe I need an update? Go to the App Store, nope, I'm up to to date. Kill the app, relaunch, open settings, now "New Features" isn't even listed. I can promise you I won't be browsing the settings part of this app regularly to see if there is a new feature. Heck, not only do they not email/push about new features they don't even message in-app about them, I really don't understand.

Maybe they are doing so well they don't have to care about communicating with customer right now but it really annoys me and I wish they did better.
That's not a word game. It's a question of whether the (historically) normal state is ownership by the people, and what we have is now abnormal. And the answer is, no, this is normal, and what you propose is historically abnormal - unprecedented, in fact.

That doesn't necessarily mean that you're wrong. But it means that you have the burden of proof to show that you're right.
I never understood why they thought that this wouldn’t happen.
YMMV. For my case on software development, I don't even look on stackoverflow anymore.

Just type the tech question, start refining into what is needed and get a snippet of code tailored for what is needed. What previously would take 30 to 60 minutes of research and testing is now less than a couple of minutes.
Definitely! Especially considering that companies were already outsourcing wherever possible before the pandemic.
Nope, it pertains to where the job itself is listed as being based. If the company is HQ'd in NYC, but the listing is for a job based out of their Miami office, then the law doesn't apply.
If that's your definition, then I have been working remotely since 2014 -- because that was the year my employer opened a second office, and many coworkers go to the closest office, not where the majority of their team is located.
Absolutely not, it's a VC ecosystem oddity just like people saying they make $400k when most of that is stock and sometimes there isn't even a liquid market for it.

The median software engineer salary in the US is something like $110k. Still about twice the average individual income in the US[0], but the vast majority are going to be making 99% of their income in cash compensation including bonuses. I've worked for about a dozen companies based across the US in a variety of industries, and never have I or any of my coworkers had access to stock as part of compensation.

> I frequently see people with work history in the $30/hour range applying for very high pay jobs.

Does a low-paying job in the past disqualify you from high-paying jobs in the future?
Interestingly, you can't. Although to be fair, plenty of managers still believe they can.

Imagine a job where results seem fairly easily quantifiable: sales. You want to hire a great salesguy you know. His current salary is 168k and he collects another 85k in bonuses. How do you get him?

You offer him 260 base and some unspecified bonus you will work out later. Why? Because he already knows what kind of bonuses he can collect where he is but only has a vague idea of your company's product potential.

This uncertainty and unattainability of full information forces companies into either wide bands or made up titles. That's even before he goes to his current boss for a competing offer.
well speaking for the UK not the USA...

Pay for the Plus version.

Then it makes stuff up far less frequently.

If the next version has the same step up in performance, I will no longer consider inaccuracy an issue - even the best books have mistakes in them, they just need to be infrequent enough.
Yeah but unfortunately at most companies only the 10x code slinger will get recognition as a top talent.
Even on something the size of a car chatgpt won't be running locally, the car and drone are equally capable of hitting openai's API in a well connected environment.

For a certain demographic and generation, Joe Rogan is the mainstream media.
UI vs. UX Design – What’s the Difference and Why Does It Matter?
Environmentalism and social activism etc. have been a commodified for a long time now. You don't just buy coffee at Starbucks, along with your coffee you also get the nice feeling that you are supporting the poor farmers in South America and that your recycled cup and paper straws are helping the environment.

The relationship between you and the people being born deformed in those countries smothered with pollution or being deforested has been neatly disguised behind a paper cup or a watch strap. It's no longer a relationship between people but a relationship between things.

I find it very manipulative personally.
One site doesn't need to exclude the other.

This is my first SaaS, ResumoGPT (in English "SummarizeGPT", I'm Brazilian, so my native language is Portuguese, but the SaaS works perfectly with any language)
Platform that offers summaries of various media, such as videos, audios, Office suite files and news.

The idea of creating “ResumoGPT” came about when I was faced with the need to summarize extensive content while I was at school. I realized that I was not alone in this situation, many students and professionals were facing the same challenge. The task of summarizing content from different formats was time-consuming and tiring. Maybe I didn't want to pay for ChatGPT Plus just to make summaries. That's when the inspiration came to create a SaaS that would solve this problem efficiently.

Technologies Used
To develop "ResumoGPT", I used several technologies and tools, including:

Docker
Python
Bottle
GPT-4 API
API Whisper
Firebase real-time database
Render

The "ResumoGPT"
It was designed to serve students, professionals and even content creators. It offers a free version and a Plus version.

Thanks!
Army vet here! This is GREAT for a couple of reasons:

1. Moving around made building a career an impossibility for my brilliant wife, because military bases are typically situated a ways away from major economic zones.

2. This will improve retention because there is a lot of pressure on the (relatively underpaid) service member to make ends meet, especially when the best your spouse can do is like, become a realtor.

3. Great for employers. IMO (and you can fight me on this one) military families embrace duty, leadership, and hard work. If you can hire a vet or their spouse, you're going to get more out of them.

4. Great for military bases/areas which are typically economically depressed.

5. Great for family life. When I was in I was deployed for almost half of our marriage. That was really tough on my wife with nothing to do. A lot of spouses can't handle that, get into trouble, put undue pressure on the marriage, etc. For those of you who've ever been in an FRG you know what I'm talking about ;)
I think this post-factual attitude is stronger and more common in some cultures than others. I'm afraid to say but given my extensive travels it appears American culture (and its derivatives in other countries) seems to be spearheading this shift.
When I say negotiating ability I also mean to include multiple offers. Which in my experience is the single biggest factor in determining pay for most software engineers.

I agree more specialized and very senior rolls are different, but most people are going into much more generic roles. Even then bad negotiating skills can swamp out everything you else if you throw out a low number to someone willing to take advantage of it.

All said we agree that realistic pay bands will help here.
Regardless of everything else Nokia's Windows Phone era had some of the best phone bodies. Fun bright colors, basically indestructible, screen proteting lip, and didn't block RF at all. If plastic was re-invented today (i.e. it was the hip new thing) everyone would be using it rather than glass and aluminum shells, which feels "premium" between the time you remove it from the box and put it into a phone case (e.g. 10-minutes of ownership).
Hopefully people know not to ask others for factual information (unless it's an area they're actually well educated/knowledgeable in), but for opinions and subjective viewpoints. "How's your day going", "How are you feeling", "What did you think of X", etc, not "So what was the deal with the Hundred Year's War?" or whatever.

If people are treating LLMs like a random stranger and only making small talk, fair enough, but more often they're treating it like an inerrable font of knowledge, and that's concerning.
Plastic consumption only consists of lots of equally important tiny things like Netflix DVD subscriptions if you unable or unwilling to do basic arithmetic (i.e. are innumerate).

In reality of course there are a few big things that matter, and lots of tiny things (like Netflix DVD rentals) that don't. Two of the main sources of plastic waste are the packaging and textile industries. If you have a fast fashion habit it's pretty easy (and, at often single-digit $ prices per item, widely affordable) to rack up a few kg of plastic waste per year (a non-trivial fraction as micro-plastics). Now how much plastic waste do you estimate a Netflix DVD habit creates in comparison?

The best case scenario of the innumerate and self-righteous setting environmental agendas is that rather than addressing the big problems, attention gets frittered away on non-problems.

Often, of course what happens is that you end up with something that's much worse than doing nothing. Like for example the bogus plastic recycling policies enthusiastically enacted in much of the Western world, which saw to it that a lot of stuff which would have ended up harmlessly in landfills was loving hand-cleaned and shipped around half the world to Asia to be then dumped into the Oceans. Or “Green” politicians building brown coal plants like crazy.
Guess we're lucky that the US military is armed and ready to find WMDs in the next middle eastern country to fall afoul of the US's foreign policy goals (and butcher some civvies while they're at it. Fun!).

But sure, Russia, China and so on. I prefer to focus on what the military's actually been up to instead of the (real) threats they use for recruitment propaganda.
It'd be wild if what eventually killed Pax Americana was the military being unable to recruit smart people, because they can make much better money elsewhere

Consciousness theory is being slammed as pseudoscience
it's a pithy, feel-good explanation that lets the anti-RTO camp feel superior without having to delve into complex topics such as talent development, informal learning, meeting effectiveness, etc. that do not trivially lend themselves to the RTO argument in quite the same way.
"Oops, we dun' goofed, gotta lay people off" is an expression of power in the hands of the CEOs.

Altering their plans on RTO to fit the needs of the workers is an expression of power in the hands of those workers.
I wish I could skip the money, but honestly why would I skimp out on the one thing the government seems to prioritize, which is making sure people with significant assets get maximum leverage? By taking less money I disadvantage my own kids in a world where increasingly it looks like only the wealthy are human beings.
Considering 2 hours ago is 7AM EST, you might want to wait for America to wake up before jumping to conclusions.

The article isn't even about military readiness either. Making the military more friendly to married couples is a fine goal, for sure, but the ones who chose that life know the caveats involved and if they don't like it, they leave.

China may have the largest branches of services, they are hardly the best funded and most prepared. Wars have not been decided by who is bigger for a long time.

And to top it off, the Russian progress into Ukraine is largely stalled and has mostly been a shitshow for Russia. Their propaganda machine is scarier than their military incursions.

I've always dreamed of having Maya-like menus (1) on mobile. The edit menu they demonstrate in the article (2) reminds me of them.

On the topic of mobile text editing: I use an iPhone SE (2nd gen), which has a 4.7" screen. The other day, I needed to translate some text. In iOS's Notes, I couldn't type and see my source at the same time. So I did what any iOS user would do and opened vim (3), made a v-split for the source, then wrote and edited my translation.

Vim-users, do you also find vim good on a small touchscreen?

Linux's Multi-Grain Timestamps Already Removed from Kernel After a Few Weeks
It depends on the subject but search engines are on the decline. With so many fake website written by AI I can only see it get worse.

The most extreme I can think of is when I want to find when a show comes out and I have to read 10 paragraphs from 5 different sites to realize no one knows.
It’s totally relevant because someone in their 20s might be able to live with their parents, or has multiple roommates etc. The amount of money that they need is much less than that of someone more established.

It is a really interesting contrast though, that in Amsterdam where I now live (and many other parts of Europe), this divide doesn’t exist as strongly.

We have a perfectly happy and healthy ~40 year old woman come to the office to tend to the plants, and she’s paid a totally fair livable wage. The guy who works at the cafeteria for the office complex supports his family in that job (and I’ve talked to him about it). Same with many other “low skill” workers that I talk to.

Baristas at a cafe seem to still be mostly 20 year olds, but maybe a bit less so than in the US

Unicode Standard section 3.4:

> Unless specified otherwise for clarity, in the text of the Unicode Standard the term character alone designates an encoded character.

Reading is free. I even gave you the section number.

> A single abstract character may also be represented by a sequence of code points

An "abstract character" is not the same thing as a character. The whole point of my comment was that the general word "character" is a general class of definitions but means nothing by itself. Much like the word "number" - you will notice that mathematicians define many kinds of numbers, but never the word itself.

> Human language and writing are the defining inventions of the known universe. Unicode just happens to be one way of representing them. Referring to them as "silly and made up" in comparison to Unicode is nothing short of extreme mental illness.

All words are made up. I'm sorry you had to find out this way.
Another option is that this doesn't replace the student's work, but the teacher's. The single greatest use I have found for ChatGPT is in educating myself on various topics, hosting a socratic seminar where I am questioning ChatGPT in order to learn about X. Of course this could radically change a student's ability to generate homework etc, but this could also radically change how the student learns in the first place. To me, online school could become much more than they are now through AI-assisted tutoring. I can also see a future where "schooling" becomes much more decentralized than it is now and where students are self-selecting curriculum, methods, etc to give students ownership and a sense of control over their work so that they don't just look at it as "busywork".
> But then, maybe, take a government job for a while. They pay like shit, but you won't find more compelling missions and dedicated people, anywhere.

And you also won't find more red tape, not even in multi-billion international conglomerates, than in government - I've worked in government, small companies, medium companies and one so large you'll likely find on the news regularly.

When I want something like, say, a dozen hours worth of GPU compute time at <conglomerate>, I shoot over an email to my boss for approval, that's there an hour later, and I can begin to work. In government, that's weeks worth of paperwork and meetings, and by the time I got the approval, I've forgotten what I wanted to do in the first place. Not to mention sub-par machines that were outdated even when they were acquired, processes copied straight over from the mainframe era, and crap offices barely worth the name including a 10/10 SDSL for > 100 employees.

Oh and forget getting hired if you have a "grey" past - convictions of hacking, marijuana or whatever that's common in the private sector are an immediate no-go in anything government, often enough for life.
How many people actually use a 'naked' iPhone, I wonder?

A case of some kind is almost mandatory, not just for scratch/drop protection, but to add some grip, and so it can lie flat and not rest on the sticky-out cameras.
Sure you could use the current tech with parental supervision. But a future version will let you walk away, leave the kids alone with the AI, check in occasionally. It will be marketed as safe to do so.
