I think the deeper problem is that it only writes happy endings.

A while back someone pointed out that Dracula, Sherlock Holmes, and Winnie the Pooh had all become public domain characters on the same day, so I tried asking it for a story that combined them — it read like I expected it to (a terrible premise written with middling skill), but it also insisted on wrapping everything up with a twee "and then all three of them went on more jolly adventures" kind of ending.

Likewise the time I asked it for one about alien invaders, where it wrote them turning (without good reason) from villains into friends at the end.
That’s cope, none of the flags in an interview have anything to do with anything, especially after taking enough jobs to you realize that you’ll probably get called in last minute to interview additional people with no preparation whatsoever on the interview process so you just google a couple things to ask and wing it yourself

This response demonstrates the same issue as the OP, which is to think like an engineer and attempt to reverse-engineer the design goals of the software rather than to consider the prompt in and of itself, without context.

If you commission someone to paint "an Indian person", would you withhold payment if they painted a specific Indian person, or an Indian person not in traditional dress? (And, to be clear, Midjourney is certainly capable of doing this recognisably). Hopefully you would instead be happy with the result, because it would be what you asked for -- if you specifically wanted a "stereotypical Indian person" you would have asked for that instead. "Be recognised by the largest amount of people" is not typically the goal of an artistic work. Is it the goal of Midjourney? Well, to the extent that it is, that's the problem that the article is pointing out: if you attempt to cater to everyone, you will necessarily produce a picture which is at best conventional and at worst extremely stereotypical.

A few seconds of playing around with Stable Diffusion shows that this need not be the case, so the article actually points out a specific deficiency of Midjourney.
I don’t think you’re being downvoted because you’re promoting improved communication skills. I think you’re being downvoted because you’re implying that managers “absolutely does not want you to have such skills”.

I’d wager portraying an important work relationship as adverserial and manipulative is why people downvote you. It’s a bit of an overplayed cliché with the bad boss.

Ironically you might be downvoted because of what you’re saying being misunderstood, which I guess is to your point.
Haven't they? I see a lot more from eventbrite, ra.co, fever etc than before. I have not booked anything with ticketmaster in years. I'm in Spain though, maybe it's region dependent.

Ticketmaster seems to just still have a hold on the AAA shows (which I never visit) but they seem to have lost everything else.
I'm curious about how the upload to these spacecrafts is secured. We're talking about 1977 technology. What prevents an antisocial troll or adversial state to upload broken firmware?

They are just emotional.

Certain vintage tech/gears are being linked to those good old days when certain techs (e.g. SMP and Unix) were only available to selected few. The reality is clear here, we are talking about a totally failed ISA that has no economic future whatsoever.
Estimates help planning. The problem is that they often travel through a company and become immovable deadlines.
Nope. Owner's equivalent rent is not the same as real estate price.
And on the other end, that’s two more days that the company gets the benefit of your new software.

Let the compiler deal with those annoying quirks. Almost every arch has some of those.
i guess flip phones are the new small. once they become more affordable.

my pixel 3 died after 4 years so i upgraded to a used pixel 5 which was the last small-ish pixel.

very surprised with the battery. rarely end the day less than 75% - and it's smaller than the not small (imo) zenfone 10.

Payer profit margins only account for a small fraction of total spending. Single payer won't solve the problem.
Odd, I live in a rural area as well. When I cross the state line into the new york state back country, I literally see garbage piles in some people's front yards. Like they don't wanna pay for garbage collection, so it piles up in their yard for months until they burn it all. The fire dept are all volunteers and don't just randomly show up to a fire unless someone calls it in. We burn wood in the yard for leisure or to get rid of brush, but im more of a get garbage to its place kind of guy.
i envy you that you managed to live your life with this kind of belief

you clearly have no clue what founders actually do
Why do you say that “2049 is obviously the superior movie”? You don’t give any reasoning, so I can only assume that you’re implying newer=better?

Is The Batman (2022) obviously superior to The Dark Knight?

(I was not alive in the 80s and love both Blade Runners, but would probably give the edge to the original if I had to choose my favorite. I greatly prefer TDK to TB, but that could be influenced by nostalgia)
Not sure if that's a good idea. The last "spaceport" was in Peenemünde.
Any situation where a new or elsewise unknown attribute breaks your code, binding is a big one.

* Say you are joining two tables and one now has a conflicting/duplicate name, surprise, you now have broken code, it literally will not execute with ambiguous duplicate references.

* By the same token, downstream views can break for the same/similar reason.

* In some engines views are not going to actually include your columns until they are "refreshed"(SQL Server) so that one day that's out of band of your deployment your views will suddenly change.

* Say you have a report with specific headers - tada, it's now got whatever people add to the table - and sourcing it can be a pain because its unclear where the source is in the query, requiring schema.

* Performance expectations can change if the data type is much larger, up to the point of actually breaking the client or consuming tens of billions of times more resources.
> Aronofsky’s 18K resolution film plays back at Sphere at a blistering-fast 60 frames per second, more than twice the speed of the typical 24p motion picture, and is about half a petabyte in size, or about 500 terabytes. Aronofsky explains that the movie is about 32GB of data per second, or nearly 2,000 GB a minute.

I can already see the PC gamers demanding 18K 144hz monitors.
Yes. I very much agree. Not only are most software bugs actually requirements bugs, the speed you can build software with good requirements is absolutely bonkers.

I've seen a project go from an empty repo to production in two months with a set of requirements that were completely unambiguous and rock solid. I've also seen ambiguous and vacillating requirements drag out the implementation a ~30 LOC feature for months.
So you're asking for price fixing? Who should set the prices?
Very interesting how the goal here needn’t be to build a broad coalition or broad consensus in order to shape the future.

It’s almost as if technologists believe they can (and actually have a moral imperative to!) shape the world without being elected and without being accountable to the people whose world they’re shaping…
Ask a full stack JS developer to make their app use a proxy and they will get nervous breakdown
Yes, all that is true, and AMD has their PSP. ME and PSP represent the "locked-down" part of the x86 platform, running binary blobs that only the CPU makers have the capability to modify (in the absense of exploits.) Not unlike the binary blobs that led Raptor to use an alternative to IBM POWER10.

It is not elitist to point out the flaws in modern web devs who don't know what an HTTP protocol is and the structure of an HTTP request (headers vs body etc). I interview a lot of them who cannot explain the difference between a form submitted directly vs through Ajax but they surely know how to send a POST request through node/express.
Large orgs almost become like a bloated government in that way: groups start to construct little fiefdoms with rules and policies that are ostensibly constructed to improve quality. However, those rules end up becoming bludgeoning tools used by nefarious actors in those groups.

The real problem is that nobody ever steps back and asks: are all these rules actually helping to improve quality of the software. Is the cost of the reduced velocity and overhead actually worth it in the end.

Then, the org does layoffs and all that policy is still in place without the necessary people to supported the bloated workflow.
Planning too often is also a problem. You should not do it more often than every three to six months.
It’s not the news itself at fault, it’s how sensationalized and emotionally triggering everything is designed to be from the story selection to the editorial control over titles. Everything is framed to generate either outrage or my-team-won fuzzies.

I follow current events by reading the wikipedia current events portal [1] so I can stay informed without all the manipulation. It’s a completely different experience from the newsmedia: biases are still aplenty but they’re downright quaint when stacked against commercial incentives.

My current manager asks me to define the work, and has asked me not to do certain things because he feared it would overload me. He values professional communication and endorses people who want to improve them, going so far as to allocate work time and support them financially in their efforts to learn.

I’ve also been a manager at 3 different companies, one of them my own, and my philosophy has not been to push deadlines or work, but to spend more time understanding requirements, and simply try to break down long-running projects into small pieces that can be estimated more accurately. One of the biggest problems I’ve witnessed in software is that estimates in units of years are always very wrong, while estimates in units of days or weeks are pretty good.

I have to agree with the parent; you’re making incorrect assumptions and maybe projecting your own bad experience, and ending up accidentally saying something that isn’t true.
First we talk about Healthcare Spending.
The US spends the most and get the worst outcomes in G7. Also you have universal health insurance for Elder People (Medicare).
It just doesn't make any sense to have perfectly capable workers to loose their ability to work because they couldn't get a treatment for 10.000$ in real cost (not the marked up price for Uninsured people, because the insurance companies want a rebate from the sticker price)

Also if you look at GDP measured in PPP the US doesn't really have an advantage. In other measurements as HDI they trail even behind

People choose to live in HOA neighborhoods. Those people running the HOA are normal homeowners, usually like minded. So to bitch and moan about HOAs is like moving somewhere people think differently than you and being mad you have to follow their rules. I prefer to avoid that myself, so I don't live in and HOA neighborhood.
These feel low to me, am I just remembering the early days of EV when it was standard to quote the battery as a third to half the cost of the entire vehicle?
What exactly is it that made this token a security, and why was it targeted versus any of the other tokens that were marketed and sold for common enterprise and future profits? I didn’t follow because I didn’t realize that it was connected to a decentralized YouTube competitor. Now it has the appearance of being motivated not by securities law, but censorship. I’m sure they also violated SEC rules, but I’m wondering exactly how so, and how it could be avoided for a future incentivized P2P video network.

A quote that was a bit surprising:

> “The problem is Apple has exclusive rights to [the iPhone Mini’s] display — so, even with the line being discontinued, [Samsung Display] isn’t going to give us access,” he told supporters last month.

Apple reserving the latest generation of processors or manufacturing availability is famous. Locking whole screen categories is another thing altogether (later in the article it seems there could be a way though)
The 400 feet AGL rule has nothing to do with the FAA's definition of publicly navigable airspace.

FAA considers anything above "blades of grass" to be subject to under their authority. There's some question about what makes a given airspace "publicly navigable", but it's generally understood (at least by hobby drone operators like myself) that if there's nothing overhead and there are no tall structures close by, the FAA considers that airspace publicly navigable.

On the 400' rule: Outside of specially-granted permission and certain other specific situations (e.g., around tall buildings), the FAA requires all unmanned aerial systems ("drones", although that includes things like RC planes) to operate lower than 400' AGL within Class G airspace. The LAANC system is a somewhat automated way to obtain permissions in some controlled airspace.

More info on UAS airspace use: https://www.faa.gov/uas/getting_started/where_can_i_fly/airs...

Since the surveillance in this case appears to be from publicly navigable airspace (according to the FAA's definition), I would expect established case law discussed in the aerial surveillance doctrine Wikipedia page to allow it, regardless of the use of a drone. The use of a private contractor might be of some interest in the case, but I'd wager it's viewed by the court as irrelevant so long as the pilot was complying with the Part 107 rules.
It's never pdf. You can't easily make corrections on a pdf, never mind major revisions (such as moving sections around). If someone sends me a pdf I ask for a Word document, or convert the pdf to Word myself. Sending someone a pdf is a little like saying "fuck you."
Do you think most tech customers/users are aware enough of the details to give properly informed consent to this kind of thing? I don't. I think much of it is dark-patterned or coerced. I was amazed when iPhone swapped SMS for iMessages. All these years later, I can't believe they had the audacity to do that without any kind of prompting or approval. Previously with Blackberry you had to deliberately choose to use Blackberry messenger. iPhone merged iMessage and SMS into the same interface and if you contacted an iPhone user the phone checks the phone number with Apple and if the recipient is an iMessage user, it diverts the message through Apple servers.

From a user experience point of view it's easier, and you get 'free' picture and video messages. From a tech / privacy / informed consent point of view it's horrible. That was 15 years ago and it's only got worse in terms of tech companies taking what they want and claiming they got consent after by pointing to a line of legalese buried deep in a page nobody reads.

My guess is that this new CPU is just an IBM-licensed POWER10 that will have the mandatory blob removed or open sourced.
agreed, dealing with things of this nature from within a scientific field where no one understands the complexities of the data analysis and simply trusts every oversimplified metric explained to them is quite concerning

the individuals deemed to be "experts" rely on closed source software to the point that the software is the real expert
Is that true? I don't know if I can trust a person made of metal.
I find that most these sorts of projects are for people just toying around or who have an irrational hatred of the JS ecosystem... Ultimately they lock devs into a tight, less supported ecosystem, and they might end up writing some parts in the languages native to the web anyways. And I mean, the page doesn't even load for me on my browser, just stuck at 0%. What kind of documentation page even needs a progressbar, just use a static page, right?

Edit: for what it's worth, I gave this a second chance with raw Chromium. Loaded up to 400%, heh, but tbf the page does have product examples for seemingly useful products.
I don’t understand how front end devs can get so far without learning how to use the developer tool console now standard in every major browser. How can one not learn about a POST vs GET when things like request caching and back button complications are a reality? I hit these issues as a senior backend dev fumbling around with front end so many years ago so I have a hard time understanding how that isn’t even close to the experience kids these days get.

Unfortunately the DANE SRV RFC is kind-of mismatched with how SRV and TLS work in practise. It requires the server to serve a certificate matching its own hostname (the hostname of the SRV target) rather than a certificate matching the expected host (the hostname that the SRV record was on). This is fine and secure if you use only DANE but if you want to use DANE with CA-issued certs it makes it somewhere between hard and impossible.
We have no garbage pickup in the county, we haul it to one of four collection areas. Those cost $140/year plus about $7/100lbs, so no doubt some more thrifty neighbors are burning household trash instead, but I just burn slash and take household trash to the dumpsters.

There's a high fire risk in this area and smoke watchers will report it, and the VFD gets dispatched. They don't respond individually.

Ah, the American dream, owning land! Land that you can’t have any privacy on, or do with as you wish (in a resident capacity), because of the militant department called zoning who’s jobs consist of harassing the citizens they work for, sneaking around and snapping pictures, sending out threatening legal action warnings (yet rarely have the funds to persue legal action). But hey, it’s your land! Your chunk of America! You made it! Except, is it really yours when at any time, with or without the need to compensate you, the land can be taken by the local or federal government if they decide they want it for something else?

We are the land of the free, it’s true. Free to do whatever we want inside the invisible box restricting our freedoms that we don’t see around us our entire lives. But go live your life, you’re totally free to do so! Evenings after work, and maybe the weekends! If you make enough to enjoy that limited time off, and aren’t too tired.

My manager once gave me a succinct method for accurately estimating project times:

1. List all the necessary tasks

2. Estimate the time for each task

3. Add up all the times

4. Multiply by π

If using unknown technology, that last step should be "multiple by π^2".
Matrix clients typically complain very loudly when keys change or unverified sessions get added to your chats.

Mandating more electric cars on the road than the infrastructure would allow would be... dumb? Not even an option? Economically catastrophic?

Automakers in the UK are flipping out because they recently pushed back their overly ambitious date for eliminating ICE cars, which the automakers were supposedly (I'm skeptical) already tooling up for. You can see how being early comes with its own risks and costs for a traditional automaker making the transition.

None of that justifies Toyota's effort spent farting around with hydrogen, of course.

The advice that I follow is to take a statistical approach: Invest in everything. Let the losers wink out on their own while receiving the benefits of the winners.

Short version: Invest in (1) Total U.S. stock market index, (2) Total world stock market index, excluding the U.S., (3) Total U.S. bond market index. The principles are (1) Asset allocation, (2) Diversification, (3) Rebalancing.
