Mostly to get around bad docs. I need to implement things using libraries, services, and APIs that aren't well documented, but the source code is public, and people have written code against them, and ChatGPT has read all of the things that I would read (and more) to get to the point where I can use it, so I just ask it.

The 2021 knowledge limit is pretty annoying, since libraries change so often, but it's still very useful.

It's ALSO very useful for asking stupid questions that I don't want to waste someone's time with. Like for instance, in bash, when you redirect stdout to a file with > filename it works, and when you redirect stderr to stdout with 2>&1 it works, but when you try to redirect stderr to stdout and stdout to a file, it only works when you do it in this order:

command > filename 2>&1

it doesn't work if you do

command 2>&1 > filename

which feels more natural to me, so I asked ChatGPT why that is, and it explained that you have to consider it from a filehandle perspective and that if you look in /proc/pid/fd you can see that 2>&1 is really redirecting to the terminal, and > is redirecting from the terminal to a file.

I would have had to find someone deeply steeped in unix/linux fundamentals to explain that to me, or I could just ask ChatGPT. I've done the same thing again and again - how are HSMs really different than TPMs? How are heat pumps different than ACs?

I'll read a reference to something, and immediately go to ChatGPT to learn more - "Can you give me a brief summary of the writings and opinions of Cicero?" and then I can spend 20-30 minutes learning more about stoicism, epicureanism, and whatever else I'm curious about. It's like being able to interview wikipedia.
The problem isn't that the drug results don't translate from mice to humans. The problem is that after testing the drug successfully in mice, they follow that with testing the marketing campaign with the mice. The mice never buy the drug, so they decide to drop it as unprofitable and move on to another drug.
Isn't that the stuff where you have to make sure your pipe runs have gentle bends not 90-degree elbows because if it 'piles up' in a corner it spontaneously goes off?

Or is it the stuff that infamously dissolved pilots during ww2

Pretty sure it's one or the other
Ok but this says something different. If there’s multiple takes on the same story, how are we going to be sure? The diversion takes are in itself interesting and should prompt further investigation.
Maybe the spec allows that pairing (5V@5A) to exist, but it's not implemented in any power supply! Total wattage is irrelevant if the RP5 only accepts 5V. Feel free to link to one if one exists. For sure virtually no PD power supplies support it.

Example: https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-One-Port-Charger-Laptops...

Specs: PD 3.0 (USB-C Port): 5V ⎓ 3A / 9V ⎓ 3A / 12V ⎓ 3A / 15V ⎓ 3A /20V ⎓ 3.25A (Up to 65W)

There are tons and tons of examples like this.

Example: https://www.anker.com/products/a2341

From what I can tell this is a top of the line Anker GaN charger which can produce 140W. However, if you look in the manual: 5.0V 3.0A / 9.0V 3.0A / 15.0V 3.0A / 20.0V 5.0A / 28.0V 5.0A (140.0W Max)

The only power supply I have seen that can do this rediculous 5A at 5V is the one being released for the RP5, https://www.sparkfun.com/products/23584 You can see from the picture it actually outputs a nonstandard 5.1V@5A, suggesting that the voltage drop due to the cable actually causes problems powering the RP5 so they built a 'hot' power supply to try to correct for it. This seems like a pretty big design flaw, why not just design the RP5 so it can negotiate a higher voltage on PD? It looks like it has room for a couple mosfets to implement this.
Surely it's whoever puts up random historical facts, who should justify them with sources.

The piece writer is a crooner, not a historian. Why would you take anything he says at face value?
> HTML5 that was supposed to replace Flash, but never did was fueling this hype train even more.

My impression of what happened was that the iPhone replaced Flash, and therefore HTML5 couldn't replace Flash because Flash was already gone.

There were some nasty things about Flash, but in retrospect mobile applications are so much worse. We used to have things better than we do now.
The twisted material that splits the electron
I think it should be “you are already failed”.

It seems to work better on verbs that have a different form for “I failed” and “I have failed” which “fail” does not.

Try “you are already fallen at the first hurdle”.
There is also a general improvement in code support by sticking with x86. I bought a similar 10 year old i5 based workstation dell and so many little things just work _better_. I didn't realize just how much of my battles were based on hardware architecture issues.
Open Source wins by bringing common tooling and development environments. An ecosystems of choices from where to start your project.
Yeah, the ancients Greeks are a mix. Plato in particular finds a way to do both well.

But then with Aristotle we have the foundation of writing to excess. Documentation instead of communication.
Yup, wgpu is already a thing. While it's ironically widely used on desktop, it's less mature in the browser context. Like, there is an open-world 3D MMORPG using wgpu for its graphics, meanwhile it's not yet enabled on stable Firefox.

I'm not sure whether many different implementations is inherently good, though.
But the issue is dumping the brine into the ocean as the only economical way to deal with it. If someone can make a significant profit off the brine, it may be feasible to truck it to a lithium facility then deal with disposal in a way that isn't just "dump it in the ocean and pretend it's not a problem".
Why do you think it is absurd? I'd think a moral relativist could support science, reason, and grade school grammar while also believing it's due to cultural factors that are not inherently true.
I don’t think that’s the only reason to use one. They also have value as a well known and well supported hardware target even in cases where the GPIOs aren’t needed. For example, the hobby 3D printer community uses them extensively for things like Octoprint where the GPIOs aren’t needed - but the Pi continues to be much more popular than other options because it’s very well supported. A user doesn’t need to figure out any CLI magic to get things to work, they can just grab a pre-made SD card image and go to town. And if they do have a problem, it’ll probably be the same problem that a few thousand other people have had, so solutions will be well documented.
What *are* worms?
It can be seen in an individual. A boy is raised in rural Oaxaca, Mexico. He works on a farm, speaks Copala Triqui and no Spanish. Then when he's 14 his family moves to east Los Angeles.

As he adjusts to his new situation, his behavior changes. The moral code of rural Oaxaca is different them that of east LA. His moral code changes. Perhaps he always gave a great amount of help when needed to neighbors in rural Oaxaca, but stops doing that as much. This changes. In Oaxaca, he did not steal from his friends, nor does he in LA. This does not change.

It's obvious even in US culture. Two students go to Harvard, one goes into engineering, one diplomacy. What group are the moral traits of candor, frankness and directness valued? What group are the moral values of politeness and courteousness valued? Morality can be relative, depending on the situation. But for some situations it is not, the more universal things.
The problem with ethics is that if you take almost any two different moral rules, there are always moral dilemmas where it is, for a large minority, unacceptable that we apply one rule over the other. So the moral rules of society as a whole form a logically inconsistent system, which appears to be only consistent within certain boundaries.

Since it is inconsistent system, every moral position can be logically invalidated. Therefore, the sensible positions, compromises, are also the least rationally defensible.

Now, Chomsky has a humanitarian angle, according to which no harm to other people is justifiable to make the world better. This means he rejects notion of justified war (which is anonymous killing of humans). And from this comes his position on Ukraine.
james-revisionai captured most of the main ideas.

One thing not emphasized well:

1. Make it accessible. At some point, virtually all of us will have some form of accessibility issues. 508 compliance is a solid standard for this, though can be a pain to manage without starting with it from the get-go.

2. Make it tabbable (similar to accessible).

3. For development side, make it able to client-side OR server-side render -- not every dashboard will have or need a rendering server. In python, Altair is the only client-side rendering that is also interactive that I'm aware of. It's important for payload considerations

4. Related to 3 - consider payload considerations. Make it transparent, either in debug logs or similar, how large the elements passing across the wire are.
I use GPT4 like I would ask a question on StackOverflow. While my prompts are relatively long compared to a web search, I’ve found the results really good.

I usually state the problem, provide code context, motivations, and end with restating what I want as a result,why and a question.

Here is short example from my history:

—-

I have the following docker command to help me backup data from some containers.

```sh
(omitted for brevity)
```

I want to improve it by not only copying and zipping all the related files in the container volume, but using pgdump to take a copy of the database before doing the copy and zip. How might I change the above to achieve this?

—-

This takes a lot longer than starting a web search but the quality of answers is high, and I find faster than wading through maybe semi related content farms,cookie dialog a, prompts for news letters etc.

One thing to remember is like StackOverflow answers, the code might not be up to date, or have bugs etc, as I test I feed issues back into it with any relevant context. I’ve started building a Jetbrains IDE plug-in around this workflow for myself with the ability to use self hosted models, improving it as I learn new tricks and find what workflows I prefer.
It seems like you follow a utilitarian morality system, treating morality as some big calculation, and are unable to conceive that not everybody does. Many people, especially in America, follow deontological moral systems, in which some things are inherently wrong. E.g. people who believe in a fundamental right to freedom of movement or bodily autonomy (or the right to bear arms) do not accept it's morally just to violate those rights in the name of some emergency.
Just slightly more difficult than punching "give me javascript that returns fictional but plausible motion sensor data to a website that asks for it, to spoof that we are on a device that actually has a motion sensor" into ChatGPT.
He's very dismissive and disrespectful to anyone who isn't fawning over him. If you interview him and interlace praise and admiration for him, yes he's gonna be congenial.
make as many metrics as you can configurable.
what I mean is that charts origin of data should be configurable,in its form and in its colors. also allow users to filter the data incoming to the charts, users love messing up with the data before exporting them to their pointless and boring powerpoint presentation
This is exactly Chomsky’s point. Try to get through life considering the color of the traffic light you’re approaching as a subjective rather than objective fact.

To pick an example closer to the morality case: Hunger could equally be called a subjective phenomenon. Aliens may not experience anything like hunger. A rare genetic condition might produce a human who experiences escalating hunger as an escalating degree of pleasure.

But as humans making our way through the real world, we are forced by physical and anatomical reality to see the causes and consequences of human hunger as objective truths.
There already is strictyaml: https://github.com/crdoconnor/strictyaml
Seems very close to his argument about the innateness of language structures. I can rephrase your question replacing moral* with language:

> Chomsky seems to be saying that since we learn the prevalent language of our culture through sparse data there must be an underlying universal language structure. But how does that allow for the fact that different languages do have different grammars and that those do change over time?
We universally agree that it is at least "the wavelength produced from a well-calibrated display when asked to render #ff0000'
I know, but I've disabled most fast boot tricks because rebooting into Limux became an issue.

It's a cool trick that reminds me of Firecracker. It would be nice to see Linux use that trick as well, but with the existing issues for Linux ×+ hibernation + lockdown mode, I think it'll take a while before that's finished.

Happy to learn otherwise, but everything I've seen follows the pattern of briefly paying lip service to the fact that some enemy of the US is not perfectly innocent, but well we're all human, and here's five pages on how the US is the worst.
There’s no NPU in it? That’s really surprising, I mean nowadays even Arm offers NPU IP via Ethos.
Bad code being copied from stackoverflow was my first guess as well.
my point still has nothing to do with captchas...

Honestly I think US management needs retraining. The Xerox PARC era has long passed, and most high functioning teams get merged or dispersed by management eager to cut costs.
There are a ton of development tasks that I do infrequently enough that I have to google how to do them every time, because I forget how to do them.

For those things, I can just ask Chat-GPT to write the first draft of it, and it saves me about 80% of the time. I always have to end up doing a few edits, but it works out.

Also dropping in an indecipherable page of logs and immediately getting the source of an error with at least a suggestion of a direction is really useful.
I've written some installers using Installshield and later the WiX toolset, and the typical application developer has no appreciation on how difficult it is. "Just copy over the binaries, it's not hard."

Well, when your customer is an enterprise who wants to deploy your product hands-off onto five thousand machines, and expects a clean uninstall when they want it removed later - yes, it's that hard. Writing installers really is it's own sub-speciality in software development.
Chomsky is a mixed bag, on multiple fronts. He's very strident, and especially many his recent takes on geopolitical issues are unable to understand the new polarities at work in the world. He's been an important critic of American foreign policy, but it has blinded him (and his followers) to the absolutely more terrible nature of e.g. Russian hegemony. (I actually think this turn began for him around the conflict in Serbia.)

But I find him a useful and important antidote to the dominance of total relativism postmodernism/poststructuralism on the "left" and respect him for doubling down on the important of reason, rationality, and an empirical method.

These days, especially in American academia, most people preposterously labelled (by conservative opponents) as "cultural Marxists" or "Marxists" generally are anything but. Marx and many other people in that vein in the 20th century were committed materialists -- attempting to ground their analysis in rather cold hard economic analysis -- you can debate whether they were right or not or using the right tools, etc but this was their philosophical position, what they were trying to do.

The bulk of today's apparently-left wing intellectuals are effectively idealists (in the epistemological sense, not the moral sense). They fundamentally believe in the primacy of ideas over the material world, but they've done a slight of and instead of referring to it as Forms ala Plato, or Idea as in Hegel, etc. it's now the "Narrative" etc. I think it is having a destructive effect, and has in large part discredited this line of though about the people it's supposed to be liberating. It's a middle class movement for middle class academics, and has little to offer the working class.

Chomsky is a refreshing antidote to this. I can't speak to his linguistic analysis, though.

He's also very very old at this point.
AI and machine learning help researchers get audio from still images
Yes. Diesel fires are pretty rare. If a diesel truck crashes on the highway, the biggest risk is to the environment (it's pretty toxic), and to the road (diesel dissolves asphalt).
How to Participate in Hacktoberfest
Because it's not "a piece of US history", it's a vaguely propagandist piece with made-up factoids published by some random singer.

Please keep rubbish out of this site.
No he definitely made the claim.

He was quoted saying “tales of holocaust in Cambodia were so much propaganda.”

He went on to say that refugees were making up the stories to please the west. It’s in the 1977 article on his own website.

Chomsky apologists never seem to be able to admit that he carried water for the worst regimes of the 20th century.

To be clear there are nearly 24,000 confirmed mass graves accounting for nearly 1.3 million dead. Fully 60% of the examined remains showed clear signs of execution with the most common method being a pickaxe. Chomsky said the refugees made it up. He’s never taken that claim back.
This is made worse by the fact that you need to write for a specific structure/schema, but typically you have no validation for it, and no immediate feedback on errors.

You tweak a line, push, wait, check if it worked, rinse, repeat. It's even more infuriating when YAML-consuming tools silently ignore extra fields. You get some dash or colon wrong, and then it just doesn't work, and it won't tell you why.
Their real problem has been supply chain. Custom silicon doesn't seem to be heading in the right direction.
What do you see about my statement that is questionable?

It should be obvious that they are discriminating: they are advocating that the article not be present because the author is someone who has a name and he’s a Christian, and the only reason that his article could be here are “awful”. Further, what do you see about that that is defensible?
Smart glasses are obviously a massive security threat for industrial espionage. You can ask people to keep their phones with security. Getting people to switch to contacts out of the blue, is much more difficult.

James Bond's job is trivial with these. Elon Musk would lose his legs, if his nation-state competitors (whom probably build these glasses) walked into SpaceX and copy pasted the billion dollar plans to his rockets.

American tech is the leakiest abstraction.

Oh yeah, unless I know I need to interact with a website or view pictures, if I want to know the answer to a thing, I just go to ChatGPT now and talk to it. Way faster and the signal to noise ratio is incredible.
I think Cybernetics was more like the primordial AI. But it was also expanded to study even larger systems like a collection of interacting agents like humans.
... which is why it's called ionizing radiation, removing an electron (or adding it in the case of beta decay) turns neutral atoms into ions.
Some players will also be convinced that you're cheating if you play the game really really well, and they will get upset. CS:GO (now CS2) has a very fascinating way of determining if someone is cheating. A ML based heuristic that is constantly being retrained, that can accurately judge whether someone is actually cheating or not based off their Overwatch (not the game) replay system. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTiP0zKF9bc
Finding older models were also almost impossible in the past two years. It's unlikely that Raspberry Pi 5 will solve the issue. But even so, it's not a wise move because what is the point of bringing a new model when they can't make it available to normal people?

Most of those deaths only had 2-3 years of life remaining anyway; the children are still going to see them die. A child's not going to be particularly traumatized seeing someone old die at age 81 instead of 83; people dying in old age is part of the human condition. People have to be really sheltered to consider someone dying in their 80s a tragedy; for most of humanity's existence even surviving to 80 was considered a great achievement worthy of celebration.

Oooooh that's interesting. Can you tell me more about what kind of stuff you use it to find?
Makes sense. A bring-your-own-model feature would be awesome, but would make it impossible to do that for rarely-used models without using valuable GPU RAM.
Now _that's_ an unpopular take. I love it!
