You are correct. I use GPT to select - based on the columns of the dataset - the (hopefully) most relevant charts. GPT does not plot the charts. It sends back a json file with the features of each chart (chart type, metric, dimensions,...). The app then plots the charts and generates png images (in a logical order, it should be possible to put them in the ppt in that same order and get a meaniningflu report). You need to insert the images into the ppt yourself.

Of course you can always change the GPT suggestion if you do not like it.

Hope this helps ::-)
Oh how can you skip the most fun tale of them all. [1] Its authenticity is dubious, but there's probably at least parts of truth in it. In a nutshell, Pythagoras started a cult based around numbers, and the pseudo-divine purity of rational numbers - of which everything can be represented.

Hippasus, a member of said cult, however managed to compellingly demonstrate that the square root of 2 could not be a rational number. Pythagorus tried to swear him to silence. When that did no twork, he had him killed. Over the square root of 2.

The article hit all the main points I would use for a wholesale take-down of Taylorism and all the MBA BS that grew in its wake, but it's presented in a way that you already have to know where the author is coming from to know what they're saying.

The key point the article missed is that "management doesn't know jack". The author should have opened with that. Everyone thinks they're boss is an idiot, but why is that? This is important because Taylorism was based on bifurcating the thinkers and the doers into managers and workers respectively. Managers would create the schedule based on their unique knowledge and insight, and workers would carry out their directives without skepticism or doubt. In reality, employees have unique knowledge and insight that management does not possess. Gantt charts, PERT, were all created based on the assumption of management expertise. Knowledge work turned this dynamic around explicitly. Knowledge workers, by definition, know more than their managers. How is a manager going to create a work breakdown structure and a schedule for work they don't understand?

MBAs have the answer. The MBA perspective is that management its self is a discrete discipline that can be done in isolation from the work. A good manager, with the management skill set can just as easily manage a hospital, as they can an airport, a shoe factory, a fast food franchise, or a nuclear power plant. This is done through metrics. By measuring performance, the manager can know where and when to conduct corrective actions to satisfy metrics. The metrics are ultimately tied to progress on schedules, WBSs, Gantt charts etc. If these don't map to your projects, the metrics they generate are useless. They will guide managers to make misapplied corrective actions that miss the mark and prevent work from happening, rather than correct any under-performance.

For project management tools, doesn't matter that the interfaces are nicer. It doesn't matter how they're implemented on the back end. It doesn't matter if the companies that make them also use their own products. The fact that your project doesn't map well to a prescribed schedule, or that you're laser focused on KPIs that don't matter. None of that changes anything. The core assumptions these tools are based on are wrong. They don't care, they just want your money.
How is it other people’s problem that you block a site that they’re on?

You can literally just ask an AI to write you an app right now. With multiple tools. And some (such as the one I made) can also test and debug the app and deploy it.

It's true that these systems are limited especially in the level of complexity of the applications. But within 5 years the limitations will be much, much less.

Then there was Nehabodi, Nethack 3.4.3 in a floppy disk.
According to https://www.planespotters.net/airframe/airbus-a320-200-ra-73..., the plane was leased from AerCap and registered as VQ-BFW (Bermuda) until 23 Mar 2022, and then re-registered as RA-73807 - so yes, this is one of the stolen planes. But the spare parts situation is not related to that...

I have found an article https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/aircraft-... about AerCap receiving 645 million dollars for 17 (or 18?) aircraft used by Aeroflot, but Ural Airlines being independent of Aeroflot, I don't think this plane is part of that agreement.
There is no commercial jet build in India, and if there where, no one from India would agree to board them.
What is even a "low-end" application of FPGAs, if you don't mind my asking?
That seems irrational…
> Commercial real estate is commonly valued based on a percentage of the projected (i.e. theoretical) cash flow the building would generate if all units therein were rented out.

Of course it is. Apartment units have turnover and if you have a non-trivial number of them then at any given time you'll have some proportion which is on the market rather than already rented out.

That doesn't mean the landlord wants the unit to be empty. They want to fill them as soon as possible because every month they're empty is a month of lost rent.

Waiting a month or two or three to get a tenant at the market price could be worth it over offering a huge discount to fill the unit immediately. Holding out for even more by receiving no rent for years... isn't.
Why are you anticipating that in the next five years AI will stay at essentially the same level as today and never surpass the ability of a junior developer?
The PlayDate is actually pretty terrible. I got one as a gift so I didn't even have to pay the absurd price for it. The game selection is very poor and the crank gimmick is lame. In general there is no reason for me to mess with it and it sits in a drawer. That's pretty bad considering I have other handheld consoles I happily pull out and play regularly, some decades older but with a lot more interesting games!
Right, the fake parts suppliers will get weeded out of the market by natural competition after a few parts fail...
I remember watching a '60 min' episode on CBS about Avionics parts counterfeits some 20 years ago.

Counterfeits and low grade steel fake parts have been a thing in aviation for a very long time. It has always been up to QA and regulatory to keep you and I safe.

No point in thinking of this as part of some subversive war, greed is more than enough to explain it.
This ignores two things, first of which is "Empirical research on the relationship between length of incarceration and recidivism is limited and insufficient for developing federal sentencing policy" [1]. There is no guarantee that any sentence that would at all be reasonable for the crime would reduce the rate, and in fact that study I cited did not find any deterrent effect for sentences less than 5 years.

The second part I feel you miss are the as many as 14,000 other people arrested for shoplifting. If 6,000 is less than 1/3, than there were about 20,000 arrests. Your "Criminals commit crimes, a lot" seems to ignore all the other people. Extending incarceration wouldn't just affect the repeat offenders, but would also lock a massive number of poor people. You say class is just a distraction, but the very articles you cite bring up poverty as a factor.

Bringing up the decrease in robbery rate in Ireland is also a bit misleading, as they had a much lower number of robberies per 100,000 people (about half the rate)[2][3] to begin with, as compared to the US (the subject of this article). That means fewer people are responsible for a higher percentage of the crime.

Good question I don’t know but I think it has something to do with They want to target that version of the API that guarantees will have features that are present in that milestone release.

Regarding vulnerabilities, do you know any that were present in that version? I’m not sure about what you’re saying, but I think it depends on how it’s implemented. If they’re using old libraries it’s possible but if they’re using up-to-date libraries for the builds but just targeting the M94 release with respect to the interface for API compatibility they may have sidestepped any vulnerabilities in M94 binaries.

I don’t know the details, but does that concept make sense? That there is a distinction between the implementation and the interface.

I suspect it may simply be because the people who created this had a need for whatever features were in M 94 and wanted to target that to do the minimum amount of work to get a compliant implementation without supporting features they didn’t need.

I recently discovered that the main web RTC library for node doesn’t work with node stable currently (20x) so and has been seemingly not updated for two years and discontinued by the author so I went hunting for this and plugged it in today and it worked so I’m just sharing it here.

I wonder what Amazon would say about this, if an unfiltered comment were possible.
The playdate is very well made actually. It's just also (intentionally) very niche, so it's no surprise it doesn't click for everyone.

Impossible! Pythagoras wasn't born yet!
> there's fundamentally no evidence our thoughts are the decisive events leading to behavior rather than, say, a rationalization of said behavior

In fact, there is plenty of evidence for the latter, such as experiments where people whose motor cortex was stimulated electrically made up all sorts of random explanations for why their body moved, including, crucially, that they intended for that motion to happen.
Disconnected Russia is also a problem for the Finnish forest industry: the processing capacity greatly exceeds domestic wood supply and was relying on raw material imports from Russia. This now results in reduced industrial output.
> This shows up as high CPU but, because it is in the background, the rest of the system performance should be largely unaffected.

And, as said, draining your battery for no good reason.

> Had the background process been allowed to keep growing its working set then foreground applications would be forced to page out

Why would they? As said, you could still page out the processes running in background mode first if you actually start running out of memory. And if after trimming all the background processes to 32mb you still don't have enough memory, you would be in the same situation either way.

The current implementation has absolutely no advantage.

I can see its appeal. As a former developer turned manager, I often want to solve certain problems quick, or test things. I very much don't want to install these kinds of experiments permanently as I don't have the time to maintain them. Now it often happens that I do an upgrade of something I haven't used a long time and it breaks, which wastes my time debugging. For me something that just works the couple of times I want to use it is indeed appealing.
iPhone fast charging hasn't really changed over the years, it's still only 25W max, which can be satisfied even by early USB PD chargers.

Androids have their fancy ~100W fast charging where all of the charge controlling is in the brick for thermal reasons and those require special proprietary chargers that become obsolete after a generation, but Apple doesn't do that.
It'd be well worth verifying the story because if Steven Pinker made an error like that it's a fairly big deal.

Nobody knows how LLMs work on a high level. There's an algorithm that consumes Terabytes of raw text and produces 175 billion parameters, that when used as a statistical model magically reproduce human language. But the conceptual connection between those parameters and what the model can do is a complete mystery.
The answer is really amazingly approachable even for a non-scientist like me. One of the main reasons why I still feel the StackExchange universe (and similar) have a lot of the world's knowledge.
I couldn’t help but ask Claude 2 for some better words to name this phenomenon. The response was fascinating:

“Here are some alternative words or concepts that could potentially provide a more nuanced or accurate description of the phenomenon compared to solely using "confabulation":

- Imputation: Generating explanatory responses by imputing or attributing plausible details, characteristics, or causal relationships even when factually incorrect.

- Speculation: The responses reflect a type of informed speculation when direct factual knowledge is lacking, as opposed to confabulation which often implies a pathological or impaired process.

- Heuristic reasoning: The behavior emerges from the model's trained heuristic techniques for reasoning and responding rather than any psychological process like confabulation per se.

- Plausible surmise: The responses take the form of plausible but unfounded surmises put forth due to the system design and limitations rather than an intent to confabulate.

- Bridging inference: The model draws bridging or gap-filling inferences to connect related concepts or complete a response, even if factually ungrounded.

- Suppositional fabrication: The language hints more strongly that the responses are fabricated suppositions not intended to deliberately deceive but still warranting cautious interpretation.

- Educated approximation: The responses could be viewed as a kind of educated approximation or speculation given training-imposed response pressures rather than confabulation due to impairment.

Designating it as solely "confabulation" may over-attribute psychological realism without addressing countervailing technical factors.”

Personally, I thought “Suppositional fabrication” came closest. Maybe just fabrication would work.

Its only fitting that the now defunct "Journal for Targeting, Measurement and Analysis for Marketing" would have a clickbaity and misleading title on an article that seems completely off-topic and of very poor quality. A Springer sponsored precursor to the SEO driven abominations of today maybe?

Confusing calculation with proof is an inexcusable mistake for any serious journal.

There can be little doubt that proving theorems is a cognitive tool that developed on the basis of observed regularities. But both asking the question why and, importantly, answering it using logic are highly non-trivial developmemts.

IMO, it’s better with tau.

e^(i * tau) = 1

You lose the 0, but isn’t it a bit odd the 0 is there in the first place? Normally we’d reduce it to:

e^(i * pi) = -1

Which obviously isn’t as nice in this case.

And hey, if we’re allowed to break the conventions, you can have the 0 back easily.

e^(i * tau) = 1 + 0

"AGI" is used in a very imprecise way and means different things depending on who you ask. In five or so years there will be a significant portion of the population which consider some AI systems to be AGI.

Who knows about "completely" but the actual code generation part of software engineering will likely be handled by AI in the majority of cases within five or so years.

There will still be _some_ humans doing actual programming probably, just not usually for common tasks. Because those will have plenty of data available to handle automatically.

As soon as I found out about ChatGPT last year, I immediately anticipated that I would be competing with AI for work. And the next day started trying to build code generation tools aimed at end users. I am on the third version of my attempt which is primarily a ChatGPT plugin.

My last version could generate, test and deploy some programs based on a chat conversation. But it wasn't very reliable and I didn't have money for marketing. So I am working on a version that has slightly more limited scope but also should be able to make a wide variety of simple applications more reliably through the ChatGPT interface.

I suspect that WWIII (powered by superintelligent killer AI swarms) might turn out be a much more pressing concern for people versus careers.
