Please elaborate what is “fun” about that fact? The drinking age is 19 in most of Canada, 18 is the exception. And the drinking age varies all over the world.

It used to be between 21 in most of the US until the voting age was lowered to 18 in 1971. It was then either 18 or 19 in most states (generally the more liberal ones) until 1984 when the national minimum was passed. 19 really is sort of a sweet spot for socially liberal North America.
It only took us 2300 years to add another kind that combines utility and pleasure, but isn't accidental: friends with benefits.
The price system is how our society allocates resources. The fact that people are allocating their own resources to buy one -- without any perverse incentives or being compelled, indicates it's not wasteful to them.

A better example of waste is when local governments funds things which people don't use.

I think the root of this sentiment is misunderstanding or lack of satisfaction at the system level.

Things like this are why you cannot immediately know it's fraud: a bug in xerox copiers changes numbers to other numbers due to some OCR nonsense.

I also fondly remember setting up fli4l on a single floppy disk to share the ISDN internet connection over coaxial cable 10mbit ethernet in my parents home when I was still a kid.

That also sums up most of the issues with LLMs in general in one sentence.

The reasoning I’ve heard behind this basically comes back to whether you have a choice: if my coffee shop says “no cash”, you can walk away just as you could if the sign says “formal dress required” or “no cell phones in use” – weird, perhaps, but it’s private property and both parties have the ability to walk away if they can’t agree on terms. Debts are different because they happen at a time remove, and the economy works a lot better if you don’t have something like a loan requiring repayment in notes from a particular bank which failed or, worse, was bought by your lender and is now playing games.
Thanks! Let us know if you have any specific ones in mind that would be helpful for you.
I am an ex QCOMer and agree with everything here. We always said it was a legal firm with a tech problem. That stranglehold on IP really holds the company back, IMO. Sure the licensing model made $$$ but they lose a lot of good will in the tech community.
That doesn't drive people to pay 3x. What does it is the fear that prices will never come down or that this is a normal.
All very clever. Or, perhaps, just steam, a cylinder and worm gear. Hindsight I suppose.
There's new cars each year, but hardly anyone is switching yearly, right?

Which programming environments that do not allow calling C API functions also let you build/ship arbitrary C executables, though? (Genuinely curious what scenarios this unlocks.)
Sadly these don't run Playdate games.
Is it really true that men are lying about their gender identity to get into a woman/non-binary focused conference so they can meet recruiters?
That hilarious reference to a defunct standard from decades ago is worth a quick explanation for those who've never heard of it: PCMCIA stands for Personal Computer Memory Card International Association, the group of companies that defined the standard. This acronym was difficult to say and remember, and was sometimes jokingly referred to as "People Can't Memorize Computer Industry Acronyms".

I remember burning that 50MB iso on a credit card sized CD an carrying it in my wallet all the time back then...
Tesla famously was at one time spending almost $200K per car because it sucked at building so badly. It's completely plausible that a SV-inspired company with no experience manufacturing cars would lose a whole bundle on pretending it could do it cost effectively, while bilking investors for more cash to stay afloat
That is useful for the initial bootstrapping but should be updated or at least validated a few times a year. If package maintainers are updating it a few times a year that works too.
Does everyone else assume it'll be a joke/junk/horrible before clicking the link, or is it just me?
You don’t have to event an app. You can set up a web server in your own home to get your views across.

In fact, you don’t have to do that. You’re getting your views across right now.
Does it support functions that take seconds to execute? I bloody hate Criterion because it’s worthless for anything that takes even milliseconds.
Maybe the cover letters you've encountered have nothing to say? try:

"I was reading up on your company, and came across a podcast interview with your CEO/your CTO/the hiring manager. She was talking about the company culture/goals/story/challenges and said something I really identified with: X. This spoke to me because my own track-record/philosophy/goals include X. For example..."

At least, I try to use it to show I've done some pre-work to ensure a good fit.

Of course, if a person is applying to hundreds of positions, they likely haven't done that pre-work, so that person would have nothing to say.
Wow, this really looks fantastic from the examples, great work!

I am looking forward to machine-readable output getting implemented. I was using criterion recently and couldn't for the life of me get CSV output to work correctly (and according to their docs it's a feature they are looking to remove). Ended up writing a python script to scrape all the data out of the folders of JSON files it makes.
I like to get a nice laptop and phone because I spend so much time on them. An iPhone is worth it for me, as I like a predictably good camera. Before I went iPhone, I had a Pixel 3a, and it took perfectly fine pictures. I just like the iPhone cameras more, although I’m starting to get a little jealous of the better zoom capabilities on some Samsung phone cameras I’ve seen recently. Lately I’ve been upgrading every two years, but every three would also be fine.
Oh heavens no
I completely agree that replication is essential, but am arguing that peer review and consensus based science do not help improve replication and thus do not produce better science (generally).

We put huge amounts of (unpaid) scientific resources towards peer review and it has hardly improved anything. It’s the opposite: “it’s peer reviewed” has become a reflexive defence of published papers with the incorrect implicit assumption that peer review makes the science better.

We should focus on the initiatives that have a proven track record of improving things (like open science) and abandon peer review and reliance on consensus.

As you point out, financial limits prevent replication. So why do we spend so much time and money on fancy journals and reviewers who have such a terrible track record of improving things? We could be replicating instead.

For a recent example of consensus failures, see Nobel Prize winner Katalin Karikó whos seminal paper was rejected by Nature and whos research programme was rejected by her University for being too incremental. Her peers failed because they relied on flawed heuristics like consensus.
So has the Turkish government created a cell phone? A search engine? A popular e-commerce store?
Demanding all your rent back is ridiculous. That there may not have been a license is a matter for the appropriate authorities to deal with such matters.

Fact is the services were rendered and that some bureaucratic procedure may not have been entirely correct, something she did not suffer any damages from, is frankly none of the tenant's business but between the city and landlord.

This has all the hallmarks of someone intentionally trying to find flaws to exploit (also see the whole business with the shower).
It’s hard to tell from the article but such a drop could be explained by the mix of jobs being more dominated by junior roles and a slow down in hiring of mid senior level roles (very senior roles don’t get posted more or less). It doesn’t feel like the market is very soft right now, but it does feel like things are adjusting in profile of talent demanded.
I've been learning Astro and considering it for production. So far, it's really help simplify web app development as there's virtually no frontend logic to build.
I’m not sure the distinction between fun friends and mutual interest friends makes sense to me.

“Fun friends are noisy, carousing, extroverts; mutual-interest friends are generally rather quiet and sedentary.”

It seems to me like from the definition of fun friends that they could be considered mutual interest friends where the mutual interest is in partying or drinking or whatever.
So am I. Drone moves very differently from clay pigeons. But now I'd like to try...
You can just "ssh -X" into your remote server, then run an app. SSH will configure X authentication for you (the "magic cookie stuff") and set up the "DISPLAY" environment variable to forward X11 connections over an encrypted tunnel. The app will display on your local desktop. It will even work on a Mac, if you install XQuartz.
I’m not great/don’t have time for a good metaphor dance, but that’s definitely a good one IMO! I guess I’d say the big difference is that you’re asking “what should happen to rogue execs”, and I was more interested in the general “who is culpable for the actions undertaken by an organization? Can the organization itself be culpable?”

In that metaphor, I see it like this: you live in a big estate that operates as some sort of business (wine, tourism, B&B, w/e), and your live-in cook breaks a guy’s leg while working for the estate (say, in a case of kitchen negligence, or just plain-old kitchen assault). I come along and propose that maybe you and your other owners should be forced to sell the estate or seriously rework things, since the assault was so bad.

In this world, do you share my intuition that at some level the estate itself should be made to answer for the actions of its employees on the job?

Beyond just fining corporations for damages, I feel there’s an unaccounted for intuitive sense that corporations should forfeit their autonomy and very existence in light of serious or repeated malfeasance, even if it wasn’t voted on by every member of the board before being enacted.

Ok maybe I did have time for a metaphor dance lol. Hope all this was somewhat clear!
I believe the screen is relatively expensive, and the crank and many other parts are custom.
PTSD is a spectrum :-)

As all disorders are.

I can remember being in bed and hearing jets flying overhead and literally being terrified I was about to be nuked.

These weren’t commercial airliners.

I lived on the coast in the UK. It was airforce jets and it happened often enough for me to remember it.

To this day I could not watch threads.

The post Thatcher / Reagan / Gorbachev and Berlin Wall era in the 90s had a culture born out of Cold War trauma.
I don't agree with the author's argument, because LLMs sometimes give wrong information even though they have access to the correct information. For example, querying an LLM about a fictional story will often elicit false answers. But if you respond with 'x is incorrect, now tell me what actually happened' you'll often get an apology and the correct answer. My informal sense is that this happens more with how/why questions than who/what/where/when ones.
Generally speaking, you can't generalize vehicle production with new companies, or even old ones. Vehicle production is extremely complicated and expensive. Minor quality errors lead to increasing delays and costs.

Famously, GM used to spend ridiculous amounts of time and money to fix cars coming out of some of its plants. It wasn't uncommon for some cars to be incapable of being driven out of the plant. The more cars they made, the more errors, and the more time and money spent on fixing them. This was a major factor in the development of the NUMMI plant.

What brings cost down is increased quality, reduction of waste, and increase of speed. If you don't have all three you aren't gonna save money.

Qualcomm's naming schemes are so confusing: I used to be on the QCOM Hexagon compilers team for a few years and I still don't know what hardware unit the NPU is. Is it Hexagon Matrix Extensions(HMX)?
It's not astroturf. It's pointing out you've been living with this stuff for years, Amazon isn't new and special. If you want the problem solved then it shouldn't be about Amazon, it should be about entire process.

If Amazon can't sell an "Amazon Brand" that competes with other sellers on it's site, the Trader Joe's should not be able to sell wine that competes with the other branded wine in it's own stores. Nor should Target be able to see it's Good Stuff brand (or whatever it is) that directly competes with other things it stocks.

Similarly, if Amazon is going to be barred from having people pay to be the top of search results than Safeway should be barred from having companies pay to have their items placed on the end shelves.

This shouldn't be about just Amazon.
Naively, because it might help more pro-social and FOSS software get made?
It prompts you, I believe — “report spam and unsubscribe” or just “report spam”. I never clicked the links from those spammy emails directly but used to accept gmail’s prompt.
As I read it, DNSSEC signature expiry was what triggered people noticing the root data was stale. That would seem to be a somewhat positive outcome.
How are you not able to answer this even in a minimal way? You have memory issues and the first thing you go to is "memorize my lines?"

Even a child should be able to answer "what cool shit have you done" in a barely minimum way.

"What cool shit did you work on this week"

"I built this really cool lego set from blocks and customized it with stuff"

Is this that hard?
Eh, at least the bands won't be made out of "finewoven".
The rising COE prices also impacts the used car market, making vehicles more expensive.
Maybe I'm an idiot, but I think the expanded AI capabilities are the biggest step forward for phones in like 5+ years or more.

But I'm someone who is still using a pixel 3, so maybe I'm just trying to make myself feel better about purchase I need to make because my phone's battery is pretty close to useless.

How does Vespa even make money? Just cloud stuff? That's nuts if search is already built in.
> The only person who needs to defer to an authority reflexively is someone who is completely ignorant of science. They don’t have the sophistication to judge, but thinking that this extends to sophisticated actors is an error. Consensus is for the ignorant.

This is where we disagree. The ignorant believe in their ability to judge. The deeper your expertise gets, the narrower the scope where you trust your judgment becomes. Because you have seen so many ways things can go subtly wrong. And because you have already been confidently wrong so many times.
Of course it happened and continues to happen. For example, I work for a company that completely got rid of our NYC office during Covid. About 50% of the company no longer lives in NYC...

I have an AW Ultra, never notice it.

Edit: I absolutely love the watch so maybe I've just learned not to care, I agree it's a little bulky but the value I get out of it makes any bulk worth it.
What are changeset comments? Like the git log?
It can be hard for many of us to empathize with someone so upset they are shaking, because of some repeated pronouns.

But imagine after a lifetime of exposure to this, some folks can get sensitized. If it's not something you notice, possibly because you're a man, it simple to mock and dismiss her response.

It you feel every joke about stupid incompetent fragile women like a slap in the face, the experience is quite different. At some point you just have enough.

Suggesting some moderation in hasty dismissive comments, and more empathy.
Retrieval Meets Long Context Large Language Models
Military childhood, being moved around from pillar to post, then pretty much a university life after that.

Cant say I totally agree with his observation, because there was not one mention of the word trust. Sure it could be implied by virtue of discussing the topic of friends, but its just an observation and categorisation, which is simplistic at best.

Trust is something that happens over time, much like in a relationship, and with any sort of friendship, there needs to be trust. I can only assume from his military childhood and university movements, that his friendships perhaps dont have the depth of trust others seek or have. The problem with being too trusting and thus naive, is you become exploited whilst people masquarade as friends, and only once they have what they want from you, you see that friendship dissipate into nothing.
Oh yeah? How do you figure?
I dont really understand how you could possibly care about thickness of a watch at the inch level

Well off-topic:

Scroll bars universally suck nowadays. Maybe my "mouse accuracy" isn't what it used to be - since giving up first person shooters 16 years ago - but I shouldn't need railgun accuracy to hit a fucking scroll bar 99% of the time. Why are they a single pixel wide these days, it's not like screen-width is expensive real-estate these days, is this Apple/Ive design principles gone mad? And then there's the page resizing when the scroll bar appears that makes it look as if the whole screen has refreshed, and then it re-refreshes without the scroll-bar in the intervening time that I paused my actions wondering why the screen refreshed in the first place.

/end old man rant.
I really wanna like Google products but so many abandoned Google projects, inconsistent ecosystem, Google privacy nightmares, poor aftermarket experience, and lack of attention to UI and UX (remember the jump from Android 11 to 12?) have made me settle on iphone and Apple’s ecosystem.
Somebody mentioned every time you double a company in size, you have to redesign your business processes. That may include personnel who are best fit for each job.
Yes, security updates absolutely matter regardless of your usage pattern. You could unwittingly visit a website that has been compromised to exploit a zero-day in your browser. Or receive a malicious text message. Or open a PDF. Or or or.
And they do this because they're only allowed to take a certain percentage of their revenue as profit. The more healthcare costs, the more they can charge and the more they can make.

The obvious answer here is that health insurance should not be privatized. Health insurance should be negotiating to keep costs low so that they can cover more, not letting costs skyrocket to make more profit.

Root DNS server IP's do change. However, the old ones stay active for years. Updating your root.hints a few times a year is absolutely not necessary.
Baseball has a load of resources like this! Besides FanGraphs and Baseball-Reference (both offer some historical data download ability but have more advanced stats you’ll have to scrape yourself), the MLB offers an API to get pitch-by-pitch data on stuff like release point, ball launch angle, ball spin axis, etc. There’s also plenty more info on baseball-savant that is scrapeable.
When a company is the first to be worth 1 trillion, maybe the business model is exploitative and should be forced to be worse.

> Make it apply not just to videogames, but books, movies, music, etc.

The pedantic point being that this started with video games and then was extended to other works. But fine let's talk about everything else too.

Everything on that list can be sold digitally.

Even physical works can, to a large degree, be made to order and drop shipped.

But again this is beside the point. These are the technicalities of how it would be implemented and beside the real point: if you have not been selling a copyrighted work for some length of time (between 1 minute and 3 decades) you should no longer have the right to that government granted monopoly since you are no longer using it for the reason it was given to you.
So they take smart people and free them from corporate bullshit by giving them a bunch of money and telling them to do what they do best? I suppose it requires a lot of trust in those individuals, or the takeaway might just be that subjecting your high-performing employees to bureaucracy and bean-counting is not a great strategy.

The main findings are:

Retrieval-augmentation can significantly boost the performance of both 4K short context LLMs and 16K/32K long context LLMs.

The 4K context LLMs with simple retrieval-augmentation can perform comparable to 16K long context LLMs, while being more efficient at inference.

After context window extension and retrieval-augmentation, the best model LLaMA2-70B-32k-ret can outperform GPT-3.5-turbo-16k and Davinci003 in terms of average score on a suit of downstream tasks with informative queries.
Some Thinkpads have a firmware bug that prevents charging
Please upgrade your BIOS immediately. I'm currently trying to fix my laptop, but since I can't charge, I'm not sure how to force fwupdmgr to install BIOS updates anyway.

Edit: I was able to get my system updated; Lenovo's chatbot recommended performing a static discharge by performing a hard poweroff but holding the power button down for 30s after the system shuts off. After performing the static discharge, the system began charging as expected, allowing me to install firmware updates.
Omg we went through the exact same phase...
