This is just slid into the last paragraph, but it is a pretty big deal as this knowledge cutoff date is now past ChatGPT’s initial launch date (thus OpenAI has likely sort of figured out as to how to exclude crawled text data generated by itself and other LLMs on the internet):

The website renders weirdly, there is lots of jumping elements before everything is loaded properly. I guess irs the js rendering?
Yeah my only experience with Spaces is that I stumbled into one while traveling, assuming it was a Regus location. They let me use it anyway, although I think it’s technically a separate membership.

I do have a dedicated desk in a standard Regus location and for the most part, it’s fine. Unlimited access 24:7, clean kitchen, etc. Unlike WeWork, the coffee machine isn’t free and there isn’t an on-site barista, but I don’t care about that anyway. No weird rules about food or anything else.

Not really. Dogs often topple over garbage bin, and spill content on streets. Some countries use garbage bags, dogs break those. Without dogs, there is a good chance garbage just stays in bins, and gets actually collected!
For a second there I misread the sub headline as "$19M in debt" and thought - that's not too bad. I guess the conning goes on, if knowing what I know about WeWork I could momentarily consider them folding with a mere $19M debt.
I'd love to try Schramm's but they ships only within the US. Dansk Mjød - will have a look, thanks for the pointer.

This is precisely what I was saying to my friend the other day. Their knowledge of the planet is hyper-specific in some ways, but they also seem to acknowledge that they don't understand the planet. One person says, "This place is like a puzzle." but it seems like a puzzle they've solved, if they know that taking the tiny skull from a worm and rolling it in a leaf will make a whistle that summons a bird that won't hurt them.

Yet, on the other hand, they seem mystified by things like which plants are edible, or the yellow fungus on the computer circuits, or the intelligent mind-power beasts. Stuff that should be top-level knowledge, I'd think? So do they understand the planet or not? Clearly a lot is known about the esoteric workings of the planet, but weirdly the BASICS of the place are a total mystery to them.

And yeah, the biology of the planet is both supremely alien yet also amazingly perfectly suited to incredibly specific use cases: this creature doubles as a gas mask, this other one is a personal flying machine with handlebars, reach inside this one and it'll inflate into a personal balloon guaranteed to hold your weight.

If I turn off that part of my brain, I enjoy letting myself get caught up in the "LOST"-ish mysterybox-ness of it (LOST, in space!).
Seritage is funny since the REIT is public, but Warren Buffett's Berkshire owns much (most? all?) of the secured debt. BH will get paid first at a good rate at relatively low risk, while public investors really take a (highly leveraged) chance (and have been getting hosed after initially being drawn in by a high yield).

I understand they're currently liquidating it, TBD if the common stock investors see anything left after BH gets paid back (and then preferred stock holders, currently trading pretty close to par)

edit: REIT has been converted into a C-Corp, possibly to carry-forward losses better as it becomes not-a-Sears-property owner? https://therealdeal.com/new-york/2022/07/08/seritage-growth-...
Ba' tuta o' kör! :o)
In theory yes, in practice I think I've had problems with two cables in the last 5 years using dozens of cables.
> There is nothing fundamentally wrong with WeWork's core product.

You have to justify this for a company that has just entered bankruptcy.

I suppose it depends on how you define “core”. But even if you take the most conservative definition and call their core product “office space” even that market has been thrown into massive turmoil.

There is plenty wrong with WeWork’s core product and much of what made it popular also made it unprofitable.
Now that makes perfect sense! :)
Retrieving the non-metadata titles of 45,000 various PDF, docx, etc. without a bunch of rules/regexs that would fail half the time.

Eh, no, not in practice, not when the entire context and document is provided and the tools are used correctly.
That's the point, choose what to trust instead of trusting everything in sight.

Epistemic trust essentially means assuming good faith unless shown otherwise. If societies didn't have that, they wouldn't function (or even be able to have become societies in the first place). Like morality - human society would not have been able to survive if everyone simply acted in their own self interest.
I was recently made aware that some amount of glass is not recycled and instead turned into powder to cover landfills. Apparently, where I live, most used glass ends up this way; but I expect it varies between institutions.

The book is about the UK, not the US.

The UK has much, much less solar potential than the US. The southern most point of Great Britain is further north than the northern most point of the contiguous USA. And it's really, really rainy here too.
Yascha mounk’s book contains several jolting stories, which encapsulate the extreme thinking of some on the American left. When covid-19 vaccines became available, most countries dispensed them first to health workers and the elderly (who are much more vulnerable to the disease than young people). Yet America’s Centres for Disease Control and Prevention urged states to offer priority to 87m “essential workers”, which included package-delivery drivers and film crews. Its rationale was “racial equity”, because old people were more likely to be white...

You would think someome would have mentioned this at the time if true. Like the President, this sounds like something he would make a big deal about.
While traveling SE Asia I didn't see that very often.
Besides in some rural areas (and even there), dogs turned into pets as in western "civilization" and their owners didn't want to eat them anymore.
Sorry for the tangent dang but since this video mentions Alexa I gotta say that as an Australian I find the ubuiquity of Amazon in the US perplexing.

To me, Amazon is a total mess. The account management is terrible. It has all these crazy region restrictions when you try to buy books, and I just assume that whenever I buy something from the store I'm getting scammed. Everything on Amazon looks like a scam.

Then I hear people in the US buy their groceries on Amazon and use Alexa. It's crazy, what am I missing? The entire company seems like it's strung together with duct tape. I have zero trust in Amazon as a brand to do anything right.
You should have a read of https://huggingface.co/blog/how-to-generate (the section on sampling, with regard to setting temperature to zero).

This is degenerate (greedy) behaviour, and not representative of the what the prompt will behave like at a higher temperature.

(At least, that’s my understanding; it’s a complex topic but broadly speaking there no specific reason, as far as I’m aware, to expect that a particular combination of params/prompt is representative of any other combination of params/prompt for the same model; it may be, but it may not. Certainly on models like GPT4 it is not, for reasons that are not clear to anyone. So… take care with your prompt testing. setting temperature to 0 is basically meaningless unless you expect to use a temperature of 0 in production. The results you get from your prompts at temp 0 are not generally reflective of the results you will get at temp > 0).

Every day we stray further from having things while going towards renting them. We no longer own music CDs we want to listen to, have DVDs to watch anytime we want, now cars are rented to us, despite paying huge amounts of money for them.

I still have old computer, I can put a Warcraft 2 CD into it and play the game. New games are dependant on servers and will cease to work and exist at some point of time
I agree with that, but it's difficult to say what cities should or shouldn't be able to enact. They do have different requirements to their region, and you wouldn't want e.g. a minimum wage law that might be appropriate for a city to destroy employability in the rest of the state.
now im dying to know what it means
From the author's own share just a few years ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25781851), some of the motivation and thinking behind this repo:

https://dev.to/jbranchaud/how-i-built-a-learning-machine-45k...
100% is a big achievement in street dog unavailability - much harder than, say, 99.999%. In k-nines (un)availability, the cost usually increases by 10 * k to increment k by 1.

It's tempting to imagine that they didn't actually get to 100%, and there are some hidden holdouts who have escaped the program and will re-establish the street dog population covertly.
Of course it's possible, there are more heated and controversial topics than this one out there and Wikipedia tries to cover them all. But due to its wiki workflow Wikipedia never tried to stop the most maniacal editors from dominating its content through sheer bloody mindedness.

> We can't know, and we won't know, because they won't talk.

So no crime can ever be solved unless the criminal admits guilt? We do accept that things can be proven about events without the perp admitting directly they did it, and COVID's origins as a genetic engineering experiment gone wrong have long ago passed the threshold of all reasonable doubt.
There's a nice code gpt plugin for intellij and vs code. Basically you can select some code and ask it to criticize it, refactor it, optimize it, find bugs in it, document it, explain it, etc. A larger context means that you can potentially fit your entire code base in that. Most people struggle to keep the details in their head of even a small code base.

The next level would be deeper integration with tools to ensure that whatever it changes, the tests still have to pass and the code still has to compile. Speaking of tests, writing those is another thing it can do. So, AI assisted salvaging of legacy code bases that would otherwise not be economical to deal with could become a thing.

What we can expect over the next years is a lot more AI assisted developer productivity. IMHO it will perform better on statically typed languages as those are simply easier to reason about for tools.
I don't know why people are obsessed with squash merging. I always rebase (when needed) to preserve commit history. It's a good best practice, and makes it easier to spot errors after fixing conflicts.

I suspect squashers use the wrong tools. Use source tree, or, if you are on linux, smartgit. You can see a detailed log, which makes it much easier.
I would guess that's due to digital nomad culture, and living in low COL areas.
They should be converted to apartments instead imo.

I try to not stray too far from the default key binding as I think it would be good to be able to use Vim on servers that don't have all my config. But, hey, what's the point of using Vim if you're not having fun ricing it? These are some indispensable key maps to me:

In visual mode, move a line up or down:
vim.keymap.set("v", "J", ":m '>+1<CR>gv=gv")
vim.keymap.set("v", "K", ":m '<-2<CR>gv=gv")

In normal mode, replace all occurences of the word under the cursor:
vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>s", [[:%s/\<<C-r><C-w>\>/<C-r><C-w>/gI<Left><Left><Left>]])

In normal or visual mode, Yank to the OS's pasteboard:
vim.keymap.set({"n", "v"}, "<leader>y", [["+y]])

And there are plenty more that are related to specific plugins.

Also, I've remapped caps lock to esc in the OS. This makes it way easier to leave insert mode without leaving the home row.
That feels a lot like 'the lights are on but nobody is home'
Enjoy!!!!

I worked in music tech for a few startups starting in 2000, have written a few instruments (VSTs) and dabbled in making noise (some call it music). specialize in cutting edge dsp, but i just like applying it to PHAT SOUNDS. :D i'm a much better sw engineer DSP enthusiast than an artist, but can still hold my own.

Get ready for so much fun. Making music gets infinitely more fun once you start to build all your own tools =) Do you code? If you can code even a bit..

It's not my day job anymore, but send me an email if you'd like to know more, I guess I'm finally old enough to pass on some shit...

I'd like to take you up on that, if you still have one going?
This site's focus is on the very earliest Macs, especially the original 128K model in early 1984.

I've been reading and enjoying systemtalk.org's examination of each month's MacUser from this era. It's striking how much sheer support, in terms of new hardware and software, the Mac received right out of the gate despite being, well, almost completely useless given the limited RAM (the "Fat Mac" appeared very quickly for a reason), no Apple hard drive, and not even a second floppy drive available at launch; the endless disk-swapping was enough to cause insanity. Nonetheless, it was good enough to make the 128K Mac the first $2500 impulse buy. <https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-cincinnati-enquirer/3...> Although Amiga and Atari ST followed within 18 months later with far superior hardware, it's clear in retrospect (and, I suspect, to anyone at the time comparing Macworld/MacUser/MacWeek to the corresponding Amiga/ST publications) that Apple had completely sucked up the air in the "not PC" segment of the market.

Apple had the credibility to do so in the first place, of course, because of its success with the Apple II. In turn, Mac's share of the market was minuscule compared to what the IBM PC had built around itself since 1981, as any comparison of PC/PC World/InfoWorld to the above Mac publications would have shown. But it was enough to survive for the long term. Desktop publishing and "people who love windows and mice" were niche markets c. 1985-1990, but it is a niche, and a reasonably defendable one; Amiga's desktop video niche was correspondingly much smaller, and ST never found one at all outside maybe music.[1]

I wrote "superior hardware", not "superior hardware and software". Not enough attention has been given to just how good classic Mac OS was from the beginning. I would say je ne sais quoi, but that's not accurate because the care given to both the UI (in the form of the Toolbox burnt into the ROM discussed in this post) and underlying architecture is obvious as opposed to being indefinable/ineffable. Atari and Commodore both outsourced their OS development and it shows. Yes, Amiga has out-of-the-box true preemptive multitasking.[2] But what good is it if the OS doesn't have quality libraries, toolkits, and primitives? As baroque and obscure as Inside Macintosh was for the Mac developer c. 1985, at least he had it as a resource, and at least the OS is sophisticated enough to justify such a baroque and obscure tome in the first place. And Atari TOS? Don't make me laugh; that it was tolerable to so many in Europe just shows how low a bar the ZX Spectrum had set for the masses there.

[1] Yes, yes, Europeans, I know that Amiga and ST were much more successful across the Atlantic. That only meant that the PC takeover of the entire market skipped the first half of the DOS era in Europe, as opposed to not happening at all. (And yes, I know about the Amstrad clones.)

[2] I dare anyone, then or now, to a) succinctly and accurately explain the difference between AmigaOS and AmigaDOS, and b) explain why that should matter in the first place
Easier to get people to agree to sterilisation than a cull, I suspect, but sterilisation also has one other effect: It reduces the rate of reproduction of unsterilised animals in same population, who will be less and less likely to stumble upon an unsterilised mate.

It’s hard to overstate the scale of their offerings and ubiquity in consumer mindshare in the states. Comparatively, we’ve had Amazon in Australia for what, seven years at this point?
I don't see how that works in this context.
Hopefully you don't have to be a Buddhist for that. Also I don't really see the advantage compared to sterilization.
Paid in full with what money? There isn't any left. If anything, it is probably in the interest of the real estate owners to free up the building so that it can be leased out to someone else who can actually pay the rent.

At the same time there is often some value (though not necessarily actual money) left in the brand name and some other intangible things like business processes. Outright killing the company until the debts get paid (which they won't) is just needlessly destructive and leaves money on the table that could have been at least partially recouped. The whole point of chapter 11 bankruptcy is to try and recapture some of that value to try and pay off the debts a little bit more than would be possible otherwise.

It's good, but it's not for people.

I would start with disabling social media. Way too much "liberalism" spill out of there. Too much of everything. Too much of hate, too much of anger, too much of trumps and bidens in all shapes and colors... I'm tired.

If people download the complete file eventually, it should average out. And if people view half the file and then drop out, then the earlier chunks being more available is optimal.
Yes, very much along the same lines. Though proving that a photo was taken with a certain camera is not really enough. You need to prove that it came from a particular photographer/journalists camera who licensed their images to an outlet who is willing to certify that they trust the photographer not to have tampered with the image (or along this type of line).

Certainly you could also just trust the photographer, but a chain of trust might be preferable to the general viewer (eg. I don't necessarily trust Photographer X, but I trust The Guardian and if The Guardian trusts this photo taken by Photographer X to be authentic, then I trust this image to be authentic).

Edit: I read more about the CAI and C2PA[1] and I think it would be sufficient for provenance and origin purposes, so what is missing is the trust network. It's likely going to a while for media outlets to establish trust networks and phase out the old, untrusted ways. There's definitely going to be room for both and I imagine outlets will start using terms like "we have received images from multiple sources, however their authenticity has not be verified by our editors".

There was an In Our Time about plankton recently, where one of the guests talked about the Continuous Plankton Recorder, a tool using silk to trap plankton for research that was created in the 1920s and has been in continuous use since then. The housing for the silk is dragged behind boats in various places, taking cross sections of the plankton along a route.

This article is extremely disingenuous about MacKay's "arguments against" section. In reality, he was pointing out the objections that might be raised against renewable projects, in a tongue-in-cheek manner.

His graphic where >95% of potential renewables are crossed out because of various ridiculous NIMBY arguments is meant to make a point about the practical problems of delivering large projects. It's not a serious prediction... for that, you need to look later in the book, at the sections the author conveniently ignored.
Exactly. If you actually cook whole meals from scratch you generally will know induction is a much worse experience.

If you have no idea how to create a meal without calling it in or hiring a private chef but enjoy a spotless kitchen you don't ever use besides water vapor flashpoint experiments I imagine it would be easy to think induction is a great replacement for gas though.
