Not surprised. It's frighteningly good, and a perfect match for programming.

I often ask GPT4 to write code for something, and try if it works, but I seldom copy and paste the code it writes - I rewrite it myself to fit into the context of the codebase. But it saves me a lot of time when I am unsure about how to do something.

Other times I don't like the suggestion at all, but that's useful as well, as it often clarifies the problem space in my head.
In my experience, there is no way to get rid of bed bugs without using controlled insecticides, and the room has to be left empty for a week or two.
That's the point of a dog whistle, to only be heard by some.
Dedicated hardware doesn't need to be expensive! Hetzner has dedicated servers for like 40 EUR/month, Vultr has it for 30 EUR/month.

VPS's kind of doesn't make sense because of noisy neighbors, and since that has a lot of fluctuations, because neighbors come and go, I don't think there is a measure you can take that applies everywhere.

For example, you could rent a VPS at AWS and start measuring variance, which looks fine for two months but suddenly it doesn't, because that day you got a noisy neighbor. Then you try VPS at Google Cloud and that's noisy from day one.

You really don't know until you allocate the VPS and leave it running, but the day could always come, and the benchmarking results are something you really need to be able to trust that they're accurate.

I 100% agree, but FB needs to face some punishment for not moderating sooner, simply so they can make sure not to enable stuff like this again.
It’s been a while since Airbnb rentals were actually a room in someone’s home and not an investment condo/home used as a full time rental.
Blowing up all places of worship is one of the core tenets thats the root of the problem there. How about enabling future generations the space to respect each others principles and not have the 2/3/4 enemies fermenting troubles.
Every function has to pop all its inputs from and push its output to the stack. the duplicate (or .) function pops one input and pushes it twice.

That is a little surprising, but making stack operations special in that they don't need to pop their arguments might be a worse option.
In that sense it wouldn't be big practically in most countries but I think OP refers to it that it enjoyed a huge popularity back then and now with AOE DE people (probably of the age bracket that played it back then) do absolutely play it in large numbers.

Anecdotically, I know a lot of people who do.
Anyone can get bed bugs anytime from anywhere. There is no way to protect against it, outside of not leaving your bedbug free home. I can see the nursing company’s point of view, since it is akin to an act of God. What were they supposed to do? Ban their employees from traveling in their time off?

Pipe /dev/random, transform to decimal, and you just got an amazing increase in performance for calculating decimals of Pi. Nobody said precision was important anyway.
That's stating the intended audience, otherwise you might come across as condescending or rude, since it's really obvious to any native speaker.
It felt like they went through a lull in the steady drip of new content. It was probably a lull in things I was interested in.
I’ve also found the act of describing my problem to GPT4 is sometimes just a helpful as the answer itself. It’s almost like enhanced rubber duck debugging.
Indeed, they were on the brink of extinction until the worldwide outlawing of DDT, and have had a huge boom since.
> I'd imagine the same strategy would work for benchmarks, but I'm not sure whether cloud instances fit the bill. I think that the CI also allows you to bring your own hardware although I don't have experience taking it that far.

Typically you use the solution between cloud hosted VPS and your own hardware, dedicated servers :)

It's not that you couldn't do that, it's that polymorphism (in the interface/virtual functions sense) is only one of several paradigms for abstraction/code reuse in C++. And it is on the higher side of runtime cost among them.

Also, the type system in C++, despite all the template stuff, is not actually very good for serious functional programming. For example, when taking a function, there is no generic way to specify its signature in your own signature (and no, taking a std::function is not generic). `require` goes a long way though nowadays.
Humans are indeed omnivores. But farming of animals is generally not respectful to the life of the animal. Figuring out how to achieve human nutritional needs while minimizing the suffering of animals (merely for our own benefit) is the ultimate goal, in my opinion.

Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this important topic.
This is a good thing, since increased perfomance means that the clients will have less billed hours, right? Right?

Actually before the IBM PC the parallel printers used 36-pin (Centronics) connectors and the serial RS-232 interfaces used 25-pin DB-25 connectors.

IBM decided to use cheaper and smaller connectors than in the standards, so they replaced DB-25 with DB-9 (in PC/AT) and the 36-pin printer connector with a DB-25 with inverted gender, to avoid confusion with RS-232.

Due to the importance of the IBM PC, these smaller connectors have become de facto standards.
What i wrote wasn't making your whole game an engine module (i.e. writing everything in C++) but writing your intensive code in C++ and using scripting (be it blueprints, GDScript or whatever) to drive that intensive code.

There is nothing counterintutive in that, it is right in the name of scripting languages: they're meant to script behavior.

And the dismissal isn't about having a raycast being slow, but about using too many raycast queries in script to do something reusable that should be in native code in the first place. If your scripting language ends up in your performance profile chances are you are using it wrong.

The occasional raycast query in scripts to make a decision is fine, doing thousands of individual raycast queries from scripts is not - if nothing else, make an API that accepts multiple raycast queries at once, performs it in C++ in a single call (so you only get the scripting overhead for that single call) and gives the result back.

But IMO if, as mentioned in the article, you are going to make a controller that is to be used by multiple entities in the game, then you should make it in C++ - potentially with script hooks to customize the behavior, if needed.
What LLMs do for me is that they make me a pro in every programming language.

"How do I do x in language y" always gives me the knowledge I need. Within seconds, I can continue coding.

After more than 10 years of coding fulltime, I know some languages very well, like PHP and Javascript. But even in those, LLMs often come up with a better solution than what I wrote. Because they know every fricking thing about those languages.

Yes, this may have happened anyway. Yes, Facebook is not fully responsible. But I disagree with you. The lines are clear.

Facebook de facto became the internet in a country of ~50 million people through subsidising their platform through free data access.

Their platform was developed in order to further their own goals - through maximising engagement and monetisation.

The second order effects of their own personal ambition was enabling people like Wirathu to reach hundreds of thousands of people with hate speech and calls for genocide.

Facebook were informed of this multiple times and allegedly, did nothing about. During this time they had 1 Burmese speaking moderator.

Stating that they have no moral responsibility for the consequences of their actions is in my opinion horseshit. But it does align with certain aspects of the current American zeitgeist of entrepreneurship, free speech and platform "safe harbour" regulations.

This is not a view shared everywhere and should not be assumed when American tech companies scale out of the US. Thankfully this dogmatic approach is being regulated by the likes of the EU and other countries so these platforms are more aligned with their own moral frameworks.

Personally, I find Facebook absolutely morally responsible for parts of this. Just through the simple fact that provided a platform for tens of millions of people - with severely lacking moderation - all in the chase of growth and profits.

This isn't exporting "freedom and democracy" to the world like the good old days. This is abhorrent profit maximisation with no regards for the consequences of their actions, hidden behind a thin veneer of moral rationalization.
Honestly if you don't care about precision, /dev/zero is going to give you more throughput. Plus, I personally guarantee it's correct to within an error margin of 4.0. You can't offer the same with /dev/random!
In my experience it's the unaspirated plosives ("p", "t","k") at the beginnings of words; I watched a YouTube video recently where an Indian consistently pronounced "two" like "do." Maddening. That, and the lack of stressed syllables.
Bit of a facetious take, but I think it has some value: Airbnb isn't a particularly small business, compared to your average hotel.
Well, this sounds like perfect tasks for GPT:

"Participants responded to
a total of 18 tasks (or as many as they could within the given time frame). These
tasks spanned various domains. Specifically, they can be categorized into four types:
creativity (e.g., “Propose at least 10 ideas for a new shoe targeting an underserved
market or sport.”), analytical thinking (e.g., “Segment the footwear industry market
based on users.”), writing proficiency (e.g., “Draft a press release marketing copy for
your product.”), and persuasiveness (e.g., “Pen an inspirational memo to employees
detailing why your product would outshine competitors.”)."

Here is the GPT response to the first task: https://chat.openai.com/share/db7556f7-6036-4b3d-a61a-9cd253...

A confident GPT hallucination is almost indistinguishable from typical management consulting material...

Does anyone have examples of NERFs that run on consumer grade hardware and are simple to use? I've played with a bunch and none of them were good experiences but perhaps there are new ones I've missed?

I basically just want to interpolate between a few images and then stitch the results together using ffmpeg to create a weird video. I don't need a full scale NERF.

> ...the country’s ministry of health asked me, as a scientist, to appear on a 50-second TV spot, explaining why vulnerable people should get another [vaccine booster shot]

Maybe we should start by asking why a theoretical physicist is being rolled out as a front man "scientist", when the actual subject is immunology & public health?

> Many countries are experiencing rising inequality, job insecurity, unemployment ...

> In a nutshell, scientists are thought to be part of the elite and, therefore, not trustworthy.

THIS, 100X. In a world where the uber-rich keep getting uber-richer, life keeps getting worse for the have-nots, and experts of all types seem both (1) eager to enjoy the perks of being "priesthoods" to the uber-rich and (2) oblivious to the plight of the have-nots ...well, d'oh. Why would any reasonable have-not trust the have-it-alls and their cronies?

Yeah I realized after posting that "do mosquitoes transmit?" is a silly question:)
Having been a consultant, what strikes me about this is the next, to me seemingly obvious question: What if you just removed the consultants entirely and just had GPT-4 do the work directly for the client?

If you’re a client and need a consultant to do something, you have to explain the requirement to them, review the work, give feedback, and so forth. There will likely be a few meetings in there.

But if GPT-4 can make consultants so much better, I imagine it can also do their work for them. And if you combine this with the reduction in communications overhead that comes from not working with an outside group, why wouldn’t clients just accrue all the benefits to themselves, plus the benefit of not paying outside consultants or dealing with the overhead of managing them?

This is especially the case when the client is already a domain expert but just needs some additional horsepower. For example, marketing brand managers may work with marketing consultants even though they know their products and marketing very well. They just need more resources, which can come in the form of consultants for reasons such as internal head-count restrictions.

Anyway, I just wonder if BCG thought through the implications of participating in this study. To me it feels like a very short step from “helps consultants help their clients” to “helps clients directly and shows consultants aren’t really necessary.”

Especially so if the client just hires an intern and gives them GPT-4.
IMHO the tone was quite annoying and overshadowed any good point the article could have about the complexity of proving concurrent algos.

But slightly on a tangent, re: the QuestDB algo, wouldn't hazard pointers solve the concurrent map problem in a cleaner way and avoid a globally contended reader counter?
The risk of being either slapped or punched in the face on a daily basis, would certainly prevent most politicians to mingle with regular people.
> record the position the dragged objects ends up in

Can you explain this in more detail? Don’t you need to actually change the layout to figure this out correctly? Or are you approximating it with the top/left corner of the current element in the same place or something?

EDIT: I read to fast, for some reason I understood step 1 as figuring out the location/bounding box of each drop target, but I think you mean to actually put the dragged object there and let the browser compute the layout.
really cool.

I have always been wondering for an open-source protocol for 2FA. Some of my 2FAs are in Authy, some in G Authenticator. Shouldn't there be one identity that can fetch all your 2FA from across providers?
As another marketer, this is 100% spot on.

And it isn't a technical gap, but a process and priority gap.

I have a ticket open for our dev team that would personally take me about half a day to do. The ticket has been open for over a year. It is impossible to get into their roadmap and they are not about to share the keys to the castle to let some random marketer do it, even one with a development background.

I hate zapier, but it works and it is quick. Sure it may have to be rebuilt at some point, but having a 60% solution today is a lot better than no solution with the promise of a 100% solution (that will actually probably also only be a 60% solution) in a year.

I want to be honest and open here: I did not write the PDF parser on my own. I heavily relied on the PDF.js project from Mozilla. I have a disclosure in the footer, but perhaps I should communicate about it more clearly.
There is no such thing as severe bed bug control. The only way you know if there are bed bugs (unless it is somehow a severe infestation), is if a guest complains about being bit, and then the only thing left to do is call a pest control company and have them do their thing while the room is empty for a couple weeks.

99% of the time, it is only a couple bed bugs, and you are not likely to find them before they bite someone.
It's not like I'd be using Windows 11 on a PC if it weren't a free upgrade. I keep one Windows machine in the house because it's handy for tests for things that need to work in Windows and because lots of my colleagues use Windows and sometimes I need to check something I am not going to try on my corporate-issue Windows laptop.

OTOH, Windows usually comes for free on PCs (not all offer discounts for not running Windows).
WoW was spotted doing that in 2012. It contained information like the server IP, the account ID, and a timestamp. As far as I know, Blizzard has never commented on it, but one theory is that it's for troubleshooting purposes when a player reports a problem and includes a screenshot.

Didn't check whether it hardcodes support for std::pair and std::tuple, but the "correct" way to do this is to rely on `std::tuple_size` and `std::tuple_element` for all tuple-like types. User types may well have these customizations defined already for e.g. structured binding support.
I'm grateful for the original creator of Insomnia to have provided a tool that was quite nice and still light.

But what they did it's really bad in the sense of screwing users that trusted you once you get enough of them.

In addition, the fork is probably good, because for some months I was thinking that there are a few simple improvements that could be done to reap great benefits. And it should now be easier to do that.
Also I'm quite sure that the current version was crippled in term of usability to support getting a paid license.

> I mean kind of? ASCII is a character set, it doesn't define the on-disk representation. An ASCII file saved with each character packed into 7 bits isn't going to be valid UTF-8 without some manipulation. This is just an odd claim to make given the earlier discussion of varied word lengths and transfer formats that weren't 8-bit clean.

This seems incredibly pedantic to me. I think in context we can assume it is meant, ascii with 8-bit bytes.
> With cloud CI runners you'd still have issues with hardware differences

For my project it really is the diff of each commit, which means that I start from a parent commit that isn’t part of the PR and re-measure that, then for each new commit. This should avoid accounting for changes in hardware as well as things like Rust versions (if those aren’t locked in via rustup).

The rest of your points are valid of course, but this was a good compromise for my OSS project where I don’t wish to spend extra money.
