Nice about holding both volume buttons and power one! However, you need to foresee the situation where you can get in trouble, right? If you just walk along the street in a big city, you probably should do this just before you leave your home?
It's trained to ignore everything else. That way background conversations are ignored as well (like your kids talking in the back of the car while you order).
I think it's extremely common for companies to sit every engineer down during onboarding and say "never touch code with these licenses". Certainly in my experience it is.
Er, that's not how arguments work. What we can't know is that those trends will continue, so it's on you to demonstrate that they will, despite evidence suggesting they won't.

As for as what you linked, Altman is saying the same thing I'm saying:

> That doesn’t mean that OpenAI won't continue to try to make the models bigger, it just means they will likely double or triple in size each year rather than increasing by many orders of magnitude.

This is exactly my point; doubling or tripling of the size will be possible, but it won't result in a doubling of performance. We won't see a GPT 5 that's twice as good as GPT 4, for example. The jump from 2 to 3 was exponential. The jump from 3 to 4 was also exponential, though not as much. The jump from 4 to 5 will follow that curve, according to Altman, which means exactly what he said in my quote; the value will continue to decrease. For a 2 to 3 type jump, GPU technology would have to completely transform in capability, which there are no indications that we've found that innovation.
Given sufficient technological advances some skills might become practically meaningless in the economy. The idea might be where its at. Handloomers also thought they brought something worth while to the table.

Most takeout today is also warmed up according to strict recipe. "Sandwich artists" arent chefs either. And even the initial recipe is designed for mass reproducibility and supply chain feasibility over taste. You still get food but a lot fewer people employed as actual chefs doing chef stuff.

Listen, I agree that America and Canada etc aren't saints. And aren't blameless. And should be held accountable, and to high standards. 100% in agreement there!

But goodness gracious me, I come from a more interesting part of the world, and certainly not in the top 10 interesting parts of the world, but enough that it feels those who say "America is just as bad! It's just as bad here!", don't have sufficient appreciation (and good on them!) for the atrocities human beings can, and routinely do, inflict upon each other, and the scale at which they do so.

There are scales. There are degrees and types and kinds and details. And painting everything binary I feel does not help in making the world better place.

I have a friend that builds his own drones (and RC vehicles, like a really big, fast tank). He sneers at DJI, but keeps one to entertain the mensch (that's me).

He also sneers at licensing, jailbreaking, geofencing, etc.

I notice that there aren't any pictures that actually show people in close proximity to the drone. The "drone in hand" picture looks photoshopped, so I assume the drone is actually not-so-mini. I have a teeny-tiny drone, about half the size of a sparrow. It doesn't have cameras, though.

I owned the original Nexus 5 phone and Nexus 7 tablet. I love both of these devices for their design but both had serious issues.

The Nexus 7's storage degraded, which rendered the device unusably slow. I thought it was the upgrade to the next version of Android that did it, but downgrading it did not fix the issue. There's been some workarounds that made it slightly more usable but ultimately it was a serious hardware defect that made it unbearably slow to use even with these workarounds.

The Nexus 5 had a bootlooping issue — I had the issue occur on my first Nexus 5, 2 weeks out of warranty. Fortunately Google was kind enough to send me a refurbished one... that shortly after had the same bootloop issue.

My opinion of Google has gradually deteriorated over time to the point now where I actively avoid using anything made by Google because 1) they can't do hardware right and 2) they sunset way too many products for me to feel comfortable using them. So the promise of 7 years of OS updates on a hardware device by Google just seems empty and maybe pointless because I don't trust the device itself will continue functioning, even if the updates keep coming... which I have doubts they will.

While I was still using Android, my Samsung Galaxy S6 was probably the most headache-free experience I had, even with the complete lack of feature/OS updates but as it stands, my iPhones have all been rock solid devices, so that is probably what I will continue using unless something drastic changes.

The current state of democracy in the United States is not about ideas. There isn't any legitimate political debate. I'm a 71 year old white American male and it has been ~25 years since I witnessed any 'exchange of ideas' (or 'different views') taking place in American elections.

Instead, we are confronted by ~60% of white Americans trying to shove their ignorance and backward culture (together with their racism and intolerance) down the throats of the rest of us. Similar nationalist extremism is taking hold across the western world. It's scary. It must be seen for what it is and it must be defeated. By any and all means necessary.
Keep it out of the sun. E-Ink does not like direct sunlight. I built a similar thing, more of central panel for all my home-grown cloud gadgets (because I hate backlit LCD), and after a summer of afternoon sun, half the panel died. Which was a bummer because it was a $300 panel.
I have noticed that it really depends on the wind direction. If the wind blows from the drone towards the people, you could hear it at 50 meters. Plus, when there is a lot of wind it makes much more noise in its struggle to fight it. Otherwise, unless it is directly next to you, you can hardly hear anything.

My biggest crowd are children and pets. They always seem to be amused by the drone.
I think the people currently named degrowthers are bad for the health of society, but the word "degrowth" doesn't necessarily refer to a policy that shouldn't be looked at more closely.

I have been looking to move away from 1Password and did look into this. The thing that prevented me from doing so is that if someone got access to your AppleID (through phishing or social engineering), it allows them to essentially take control of your entire online presence. Right now, I try to keep the single point failures to a minimum (ie don't keep Apple ID in password manager). Is this a concern that's worth thinking about or am I just shifting the problem from one place to another?

Fighting with Mint and categorizing Amazon purchases was what initially pushed me down the path into plain text accounting (PTA).

I ended up long down the rabbit hole with auto-downloading Amazon orders (originally with https://github.com/jbms/finance-dl, but then my own custom scraping) and importing and matching them up with credit card transactions using beancount-import (https://github.com/jbms/beancount-import).

This ultimately resulted in me spending a lot less on Amazon - to the point that now doing it manually wouldn't be too bad...

As I said already, the gap from 3 to 4 was substantially smaller than the gap between 2 to 3, and all indications are that the gap from 4 to 5 will also be further smaller than that.
That's my experience too. Maybe it's a chicken-or-egg problem.

The electronics and lights would certainly drain the battery, but the specific fear was that the car wouldn't start when needed. It was never specified whether that fear was of a dead battery or failed starter, but frequent starts and short trips will deplete the battery in any car...

I have several simple rules:

1. Track it - Google Sheets, apps, counters, etc.

2. Don’t make excuses - easier said than done. But really, only outlier reasons should trip you up.

3. You won’t go from 0-100 at once - Routines are sometimes set with expectation that something will be complete or expert or entirely satisfactory but time is also important. Your routine doesn’t need to be perfect!

4. Bonus - try to do things at the same time on whatever recurring interval you use. I go to the gym every morning within the same 10 minute window. If not, the chances of not going skyrockets (see 2)

It's nice that they implemented string templates essentially exactly the same way Javascript template literals and tag functions work. They even give an example of using it to create a prepared statement (e.g. DB."SELECT * FROM foo WHERE bar = \{inputParam}") which is exactly what many NodeJS libraries due, e.g. Slonik https://github.com/gajus/slonik, like sql`SELECT * FROM foo WHERE bar = ${inputParam}`;
Given the meetup group has 2,000+ members, and they haven't had an event since the announcement, I have a hard time believing all, or even a majority, (since it's so rare for the majority to even speak) had much input on this decision.

The wording sounds like a few key members felt a certain way and decided to take the ball home with them instead of stepping down and leaving whoever didn't feel as strongly hurt to continue in their stead.

It happens often with groups past a certain size: Some people argue that having contributed to the growth up to that size justifies being able to take unilateral actions like this

But in my opinion, once you get past a certain size, it's larger than you. Even if you've poured blood sweat and tears in, it's obviously taken contributions from many small players, who may have been willing to step up as big players.

It's hard to believe that out of 2,000 people there's no group of people who couldn't have continued to get value out of the existence of the group post-Unity's actions.
Transmitting long distances lives on a kind of spectrum. On the one end you have MOAR PWER and on the other end you have signals analysis and robust codecs (? I'm not sure "codec" is right. Maybe encoding? Can someone answer this?) that allow for lost information. The signals analysis will clean the incoming signal and the codec/encoding will allow for robust recreation of the captured data.

Most wireless transmission technology lives somewhere in-between the extremes of the above spectrum. Signals analysis is quite advanced and codecs/encodings are also quite advanced at this point.
> No question, everyone should use standardized, cross-platform syntax if at all possible.

There are big questionmarks around this statement. SQL isn't an interchange format. Standard table design goes a long way because data has lots of different consumers and needs frequently to be moved around between systems, standard SQL is nothing useful to aim for. Everyone already uses DB-specific drivers and syntax because it is better than the alternative.

- The standard is not generally available. Most of us will never learn what is in it.

- SQL standardises terrible syntax. The SQL standards committee has a unique view on programming where "function_name(a, b, c);" is some sort of weird alternative syntax. They haven't gotten as far as working out variables or function composition either [0].

- Tying SQL to your specific database is the best option for performance. Writing database-independent SQL is somethign of a fools errand, it is either trivial performance-insensitive enough that you should be using a code generator or complex enough to deserve DB-specific turning.

[0] I assume. Not going to pay for a copy of the standard to check.
