Most people can't write a good story from start to finish with no planning, and we have an advantage in that kind of thinking compared to AI. Have you tried starting by having it generate a plot, then once that's finished, expand from there?

Anecdotally, I just asked Bing and it made a quite long story with multiple arcs, action, dialogue, and an ending allegory. Might have just been lucky, really.

Can anyone recommend a good course in typography?
Yeah, I use GNOME on my laptop every day, and I say it's pretty good. Things "just work" enough for me to focus on doing my work or enjoying myself without having to worry about the DE, and I like the defaults, mostly; it's not just a matter of convenience. And the keyboard shortcuts and mousepad gestures on GNOME are great as well. But from the way GP complained you'd think the Linux desktop were ruined.
Also if you've ever watched a rat sleep, they very obviously dream.
I admire all the work the typographers do to make amazing-looking websites, and yet I prefer to read sites (like mathpages, or Dan Luu's site) which have next to no styling. They're just easier for me to read. I'm definitely not hating, but I feel like it's good to keep in mind where the point of diminishing returns is.

Not anymore, maybe back when static sites were common. Web sites now are applications with lots of interactivity. The interactive design is often lost because designers are mostly designing for static layouts, with interactivity falling lower in priority. This then becomes a bad experience with developers having to constantly fix interactivity issues that were born from lack of design and product specs.

That’s just generic boilerplate addiction literature. None of those apply to nicotine. It’s cheap, legal and doesn’t have enough of an effect to be a public disorder risk. No one is committing domestic violence or impaired driving while being purely “hopped up on nicotine”.

It is a bit ironic that the website has white text on black background which is no-no on screens as the very high contrast creates ghosting and eye strain / hurt for many people. Carefully read the text, then look at anywhere else and you'll see ghost lines everywhere for a few minutes. So the text should at least be gray-ish to decrease the contrast if you want to go that way. This works pretty well on paper, but sucks on screen.

Can someone explain what is missing in my mental model of the significance of this?

Why does it matter than one is an int and one is a float? I understand that this means a different range of values and that floats are manipulated differently and with different costs on GPU and CPU because of the way they are stored.

Aren't LLMs basically just probability stages, so why does it matter if the values are floats or ints, other than to note that more space for the data gives you more fine grained probabilities?

Is this difference mainly to suggest that Google uses different hardware that is more suitable for processing ints and that is a competitive advantage somehow?

> Because I tend to write all my code such that a complete stranger should be able to drop in and understand it.

Now, I don't know the codebase you're in. It could be that your abstractions are perfectly fine, but DRY code != maintainable. You're sacrificing a ton of locality of behavior (LoB) to get that DRYness, and introducing potential spooky action at a distance. Not to mention the cognitive overhead of the abstractions.

I'm not saying to never abstract, but abstractions really only supply a benefit when the things involved are guaranteed to vary together. Usually via some sort of physical process. If it's just business logic having them vary together in the same place, eventually some dictate comes down from management to change one of them but not the other.

When this happens, you introduce weird bugs on the other side of the system. That's how a platform gets the reputation of being unmaintainable. In the bad old days, it used to be that it was globals being referenced by many different functions as well as unrestricted gotos being used to jump into the middle of a function, but I've seen it happen quite often with abstractions, even ones that seem like a good idea at the time.

The code we're talking about was actually pretty DRY. You need something that does the same thing as the last half of this function? Just push a different return address onto the stack and jump into it to re-use the code. Why repeat yourself? But it had terrible LoB, changing one function could break a completely unrelated function halfway across the project (and one that didn't even obviously call the function if you're using some sort of computed goto).

You've also identified that structured programming brought about an end to the worst of these abuses, but I think you've got the reason wrong. It's not about reducing the number of places that you need to change something. You can write perfectly structured code (actually, it's hard to write unstructured code these days) and still need to change logic in 5/10/20 places. And local reasoning is still preserved in this case, as locally would consider each of those places by themselves, assuming the logic is all in different functions/modules/etc. Structured programming changed so much because forcing functions to have defined entry/exit points allows for easier preservation of invariants. You can't have meaningful invariant checks if someone can just jump into your function just after those checks. It's also much easier to see what in the project depends on the code you're changing.
They are salted hashes. Also, I chose city out of thin air. Realistically the column names are generic, "output", "input" things like that. So you'd also have to guess that this particular user is putting city data in their outputs before you'd be able to run the "known cities" attack.

+1 to this. A fair and balanced take is that Prop 13 is a massive redistribution program from renters to the landowning class in California. In an ironic twist, the people without property are subsidizing the people with property. This is exacerbating wealth inequality.

After 23 years, I got fed up with Debian's many idiosyncrasies/breakage and decided to try Fedora. It's been a breath of fresh air, and I've been pleasantly surprised how much of the stuff I want which required fiddling or compiling in Debian is just in the repos on Fedora.

I would like to counter-argue that it's the author's fault for doing things the wrong way.

While I'm sure the actual code looked different, the "spirit" of the code builds a CSV file by concatenating strings and specifying raw ASCII codes. Building a CSV file like this on 2023 is guaranteed to cause bugs down the line.

Had the code used the Python CSV primitives, or at least had the author let Python convert the "\n" character to the OS-dependent representation, the bug would have been avoided entirely. The author just happened to run into it with `cat` instead of, say, a CSV parser confused about the unusual choice.
This agrees with personal accounts I have read , like on Reddit and here, of obese/overweight or formerly obese people needing far fewer calories than predicted by BMI/TDEE calculators in order to lose weight and or not be obese.

Consider, some people on GLP-1 weight loss drugs eventually stop losing weight despite eating so little and still being overweight or obese, simply because their metabolism is so low or has slowed considerably that no further weight loss is possible.

I'll admit I'm a novice with Photoshop, I've never used it for more than a moderately complex task. Usually simple cuts and meme making type stuff. I also once designed a poster that required me to make a vector background and arrange some ripped svg elements from a old swf file.

Every time I try GIMP it's a nightmare. Even the simplest thing usually makes me find a video to explain where to find it. Cutting, pasting and layer management is a pain. For super simple stuff I use Pinta and anything marginally complex I use photoshop and it's always felt easy.

I know that's hardly scientific but I've always seen photoshops interface as good.

Only slightly. Most trusts that hold homes dissolve and grant the property to the declared beneficiaries when the last trustor dies. The Rule Against Perpetuities means that all trusts must end within a specific time after the death of the last trustor; you can't have your parents put a house in a trust, inherit it at age 50, then keep it in that trust and live in it till you reach 100. The trust must be dissolved within the deadline, which makes it not worth even trying to extend it that way; the standard living trust that most people get dissolves and distributes the assets to the heirs when the second of the two parents dies.
I like to make an appearance in threads in this domain and just say, yeah, it's not just possible but "fun" to put the puzzle pieces together.

It is a very tough problem to solve. Especially when you consider the richness of the datasets you use to put the pieces together.

In my experience the only effective means is to poison the data, in addition to the common sense steps mentioned here.

Poisoning a dataset means seeding a wide variety of the datasets you use to discover PII with fictional look alikes that resist debunking.

Additionally you can poison the core set if you are very clever about it.
Most of these clever optical solutions for all of our problems have an "it gets covered in dust eventually" problem. You can also get the opposite effect -- heat absorption with little radiative heat loss -- using a very thin layer of silver, but again, dust.
The "do one thing" is failed by text itself - text encodes backspacing and such. It even has a bell character. This has no reason to be built into our text format.

Saying "cat is not a text viewer" is absurd, though - the history of Unix is that the "print" command was removed when the Unix devs realized that cat did the same thing already, and so told their users to just use cat with a single argument.

I'm not saying it was good design, but it was intended design.

> It gets pretty annoying to type annotate everything for nothing but warm fuzzies when the compiler can figure it all out for you.

This is sometimes fine for internal code, but for external interfaces you want a human to determine the interface contract you’re agreeing to, rather than the minimal set or the maximal set of types the function supports as currently-written.
