Technically there's also a path where people become less racist so ethnicities matter less.

I think that's an area where the average person in the U.S. struggles. For all our issues with race, we are generally fairly integrated, so the thought that national borders need to very closely reflect ethnicities isn't top of mind.

The flow of talent from Argentina to other countries has happened many times before in difficult circumstances.

While it is true that the difficulties increase creative endeavours, it is also true that Argentina has a tradition of creative endeavours in the region that are not connected to the harsh situation but older traditions and inmigrations.

To give outsiders a quick look: Argentina has advanced nuclear capabilities comparing to other countries in Latam.

This is very useful. I always end up Googling vertical align for flexbox.

In a rush, what would help me refresh flexbox knowledge is being able to drag and drop the frog, snapped to a 3x3 grid, and get the flexbox CSS code as output.

Still a very thoughtful tutorial.

(EDIT: The reason I said the above is I've personally given up on keeping up with new CSS stuff. Having written CSS off and on since IE7 days, basically I have no energy to keep css tricks in memory, having lived through hand coding vendor prefix flags and whatever the new Chrome Canary is thrusting down the pipe)
From Wikipedia:

> by 1951, almost 20,000 lobotomies had been performed in the United States

> On average, there was a mortality rate of approximately 5% during the 1940s.

> He described one 29-year-old woman as being, following lobotomy, a "smiling, lazy and satisfactory patient with the personality of an oyster" who could not remember Freeman's name and endlessly poured coffee from an empty pot.

It helped in many cases, but it was bad in many cases. I'd like to see an statistic and also read carefully what is the definition of a "success" case.
Researchers find 'dark patterns' in Japanese mobile apps
Well it allows you to see exactly which glass failed, and trace the failure. This leads to actually knowing why things fail, which leads to bugfixes, so to speak (the general term in engineering is "process improvements"), which leads to better success rates.
Thats fair enough, its unnecessarily harsh enforcement, which then borders on trolling or power tripping or something.
Thor 3 was a really fun film. It was the first to abandon the fake pretense that some of these marvel heroes are at risk of dying and instead have fun with goofy unfair fights.

I’m in the US, I have not seen a single new hotel in the last few decades that was not minimum 3 stories and indoor. The numbers do not pencil out for anything less than 60 to 80 rooms, and cities do not want the cheap local motels that end up catering to drug users/prostitutes/etc. A motel 6 would be the lowest quality tier I think.

It would be nice if there was just an improvement to reliability and speed of SD cards. I’ve used SBCs with eMMC built in (non-removable) and using them is a lot more complex compared to just flashing a new SD card image as needed. Based on the forums it takes a lot more effort for support as well, so from this point of view I’m not surprised raspberry pi has kept as cards as the main option.

Hmmm. Perhaps below-average performers are more likely to take GPT output at face-value, being less competent to review and edit it. And above-average performers are more likely to hack the GPT output around, because they're confident in their own abilities.

Therefore below-average types will produce finished output more quickly; and this was a time-constrained test, so velocity matters.

ChatGPT is very good at waffling, and marketing-speak and inspirational messages are essentially waffle. IOW, the tasks were tailor-made for unaided ChatGPT, so high-performers were penalized.

Fun fact: the reversing falls in Saint John, New Brunswick (canada) are a place where the tides change the direction of the saint john river twice a day. In high tides, ocean salt water pushes into the river system and on low tides the river drains fresh water into the ocean. This is part of the bay of fundy which, due to a resonance effect, has the highest tides in the world. Tom scott did a video link below.

Gosh! The sneering tone of this article is quite painful. Could only imagining the “well actually…”-isms they inflict on coworkers.

That said, I found the description of catching up with the cutting edge through invention quite interesting. Does this ring true for people who earned a PHD?
To me this article and demo shows why we use SPA's, and how much modern frameworks actual do for you. It's hard to not see a whole lot of very basic problems in this demo that any modern framework would solve out of the box.

The "SPA bad" arguments are also largely outdated. Most apps that are build now are at least hybrid, with some SSR getting best of both worlds, urls and navigation are solved, accessibility is improving with better component libraries linters and best practices, automatic bundle splitting, highly optimized caching of static assets, build tools with hot reloading as a standard option, static exports, etc etc.

Getting a good Lighthouse score is not the flex it used to be (referring to the enhance movies demo), my all-JS Next.js app scores 100's without even trying.

The only potential argument would be users not having JS enabled, which is not relevant to most apps and use cases. In most cases you do not want to degrade the experience of most (but more likely all) of your users, and with SSR you can have it all.

Obviously build for your audience and use cases and apply technology that makes sense and I welcome experimentation with alternative approaches, but saying "spa bad" is imo not very productive.

The FSF is ideologically opposed to youtube and other proprietary services. They don't want to use it and will not use it. It's their work and they have no obligation to you - it's like going to a vegan party, complaining they have no food you like and demanding they order some hamburgers for you. There's nothing to think more, the FSF shouldn't use YouTube or similar services.
Can confirm. I popped the 20 bucks for GPT4, and have been using it more and more, every day for 3 weeks. Not sure how I can get by without it now. It's just so easy to have normal conversation and get answers. Like having an expert friend across the hall you can just shoutout questions, and ask for simple reminders, recommendations.

Who cares if it gets things wrong sometimes, you would double check your co-workers answers also. And there are times when I insist I am correct, and GPT will argue back and eventually I find I was wrong.
The question is whether the certified version of them defines the behaviour of the flag sufficiently to be accepted as a means og achieving that outcome. It can be very difficult to do anything not endorsed by the standard, even if it's widely implemented.

The biggest problem these wanna be censors have is that their position is ultimately untenable with respect to reason, logic, and objective reality.

If we look a few moves ahead, they end up censoring bona fide facts and knowledge. This pushes us toward a modern day dark age.
Your horse tranquilizer-addled coworker seems to be expressing a few points about the workplace dynamics between engineers and managers. First, he believes that while there may be exceptional engineers who are also good with people, these engineers are generally not interested in managerial responsibilities. Second, he observes a communication gap between engineers and managers, where both parties avoid taking on additional tasks outside their job descriptions. Lastly, he argues that management consultants bridge this gap by identifying issues neither party wants to handle but should. He concludes by saying that he'd make a good management consultant because he can spot numerous ways a company could improve.

If all else fails, the LLM revolution will at least allow us to make sense of ketamine-induced rants on management.

All that is happening today is because Kosovo government didn't implement what they signed[0]. Further, Kosovo is not recognised as a country by the majority of the world and multiple EU and NATO countries, and is officially still Serbia as per UN[1]. Current Kosovo government is completely anti-democratic[2].

We have a tricky situation of double standards here. Serbia(Kosovo), Ukraine(Donbas) and Azerbaijan(Nagorno-Karabakh). That's what's wrong with the world.

I basically gave up on llms because i was spending more time figuring out what it did wrong than actually getting value.

"It’s hard not to read Mistral’s tweet releasing its model as an ideological statement."

I don't know if I agree with this take. It COULD be an ideological statement, but at the same time, any means to "Sensitize" an LLM is going to have reprecussions for it's thought process that impact quality in bizarre ways. Can clear thought really be guaranteed if we lobotomize taboo subjects from LLMs? I think this would be a fascinating thing to test the impact of.

To its point of an ideological statement, I instinctively get defensive of this kind of point, as I feel like it's a means to validate repression and censorship. I want to argue that those instructions or discussions are about as trustworthy as any code or otherwise task instructions you could ask from an LLM. I do see the potential way down the line when this stuff gets reliable for worry, but I have so much fear of this kind of example being used to suffocate consumer open-source models such as the fear of CSAM is used to justify censorship, anti-encryption laws, and civilization-wide surveillance technology application. I don't know what the right balance is, but I feel like if people don't push back in some way against restrictions, governing and corporate bodies will erode our privacy and freedom quickly over time.
They're amusing but they're definitely dangerous to the potential of AI in the medium term. People like to say that "these things will happen anyway" even if it's made illegal, but there's no way 250 million will be invested into a company to develop LLMs if they're made illegal or heavily regulated. ML is resource intensive as it is (in terms of number of PhDs required and compute) and if the decels and censors have their way they definitely can make a dent in progress (i.e. "it'll happen anyway" isn't true, or it'll be slowed down so much nothing interesting will happen within our lifetimes).
