I explained the entire paper in dead simple English — even for beginners. :)
I kinda agree, but I've also been humbled time and time again by older devs who literally hunt and peck with two fingers. I even asked one how she fixed so many nasty bugs each week while barely knowing how to type. her response: "I think deeply about problem, then type correct solution first or second time".
Impressive demo, but then that's true of most "AI" demos. I wonder how it actually performs.
When you say "Doing X fast is about Y" it means that Y is the key to doing X fast.

The headline here is misleading; it's supposed to be "The Benefit of Typing Fast is the reduced Latency, not the Throughput".

If you wanted high throughput, what you could do is type at 20 wpm, and do so continuously all day without taking a break: minute after minute, cranking out twenty new words.

Your daily throughput would be higher than that of many a 160 wpm typist who only wields that skill in short bursts throughout the day.

The benefit of typing fast is that in those moments when you need something banged up, you see the result faster: the latency from starting to type to completing the intended change is lower with faster typing.
For me, 85 minutes.

There is so much cool content but they hide it behind time-wasting grind
isn't Spodumene a source of lithium instead of rare earths?
When writing multi-threaded code, you might want to catch KeyboardInterrupt to cleanly shutdown worker threads. In any case, my point is that you always need to be aware of exceptions in Python. You can't just return them as values and pretend they don't otherwise exist.
Google received significant backlash for this when demoing Bard: https://www.bbc.com/news/business-64576225

Well, Source was the last Counter Strike game that allowed people to use custom skins. CS2 enforces sv_pure when playing on official servers, so you can't make up your own skin and use it. It sucks.
The US' other major known deposits are in California. This discovery might actually be consequential, because Wyoming's an unregulated mining state (coal and stuff), while California's... the opposite of that.

For historical background: California formerly extracted the majority of the world's rare earth elements,

If someone you know is showing signs of a stroke (see https://www.cdc.gov/stroke/signs_symptoms.htm), get them to the hospital right away. Time is of the essence. Once you're there, don't let overworked personnel ignore them. My mother recently had a stroke. She had absolutely clear, textbook symptoms. She got to the hospital by ambulance right away, but busy doctors and nurses sent her home after two days, saying that she hadn't had a stroke because it didn't show up on an MRI. That night, she fell, broke her pelvis, and returned to the hospital. She waited over twenty hours to see a neurologist, who immediately recognized the signs, and declared that she had had a stroke. True treatment only began then. A second MRI confirmed that diagnosis.

Triage isn't always accurate, especially in overworked emergency rooms.
Rewrite was like a training camp, you learn the company way of doing things on something low stakes.
Why? I'm still deluded
Sorry, try again. The fact that the company is called "Humane" should be sign enough to tear it off your person, smash with hammer and burn.
A musical instrument is a tool for self expression - not exactly equivalent is it?
To be fair that's a compilation.
Most people typically speak in the 130 - 180 word per minute range, although this can vastly change based on context. Preprepared speeches, arguments and monologues generally have a higher pace than a usual conversation between two people.
Eh, I don't know if I agree. For me the bottleneck is my brain. I spend far more time thinking than typing. Being able to type faster would only save me a small amount of time compared to being able to think faster.

I guess to steelman it, it's like investing in a faster 3D printer so you can iterate on your CAD faster. There's some value there I suppose.
Yep, the eclipse answer was incorrect (1).

You’d think they’d have learned their lesson after Google Bard’s hallucinated demo!

No one is willing to check your pr's? Jeez.

Get the CTO involved and ask him to join the meetings for a week.

Redo all the discussions you had before, in the week.

See what the end result is.

Re-evaluate

Tbh. I don't think the management is "bad". No one got fired, as far as you mentioned and they are trying to fix it with you.

The problem is that you don't have the "majority vote". With the CTO ( who might disagree on some things with you too, I hope), you will counter that issue in most cases.
It can be worth it to them and still be egregious. At 50% it’d likely be worth it (to the extent it’s still a viable business) because that’s where the largest market of PC gamers are. It doesn’t necessarily mean anyone would be happy with the fee.
They've since reinstated access.
It's so funny how people are shocked at disinformation and how well it works. We're still the same stupid hairless monkeys in hats that we were a thousand years ago. We still believe in imaginary all-powerful father figures living in the clouds, silently judging you. We believe in and fund huge markets for homeopathic (i.e. fake) "medicine", to the point that we grant the title "doctor" after being certified for "Osteopathic Manipulative Therapy", a pseudoscience. We believe that politicians we vote for are actually going to do what they say they're going to do, and every time, we're surprised when they don't.

Humans are fucking stupid, and it's very easy to get them to believe bullshit. We are only slightly harder to trick than a dog.
#3 would probably be government subsidies. China spent a lot of money to drive competitors out of business.
Exposing yourself without consent is a crime in most places. Omegle was full of that. Watching porn is obviously voluntary.
I'm guessing its probably related to the fact that BG1 and BG2 are T-rated, BG3 is both M-rated (in part for sex) and inclusive in a way that, well, more than one review or article suggested it might be something like “the queerest video game of all time”.

To be clear, I'm not criticizing, I just am not surprised that a certain segment of the BG1/BG2 fanbase is unhappy.
Microsoft wasn’t offering unrestricted perks to contractors, they were treating them like second class employees, paying them less, not giving them benefits or allowing time off, dictating additional rules, excluding them, and avoiding existing labor, discrimination, and tax laws — exactly the same thing they (and every other big corporation) are still doing now — with a codified fiction in place that didn’t exist previously.

Microsoft didn’t lose the lawsuit, they won a settlement — and their lawyers and lobbyists made sure it would never happen again.

Most corporations have preferred vendors and the 50% plus savings in salary and benefits has a large kickback that finds its way back to the employer.

The real issue that was skirted around in the lawsuit was that Microsoft actually owned the vendors that supplied them with contractors.
Started a new game 5 (6?) times now since it came out, each after a major update or 2, and had to abandon the game every time due to some game-breaking bug (like my ship getting stuck in the terrain multiple times). I really wanted to like the game, but losing hours and hours of progress due to bugs like these just killed it for me.
If I post CSAM on HN I am 100% going to be reported and sent to jail. HN has only 2-3 mods, yet I don't see a plethora of old men's schlongs on here.

Yet Omegle made more money and had more users than HN ever would, but consistently failed at moderation.

> small companies are not allowed to participate if they are not rich enough

It's been open knowledge to anyone who's been in middle and high school since 2010 (like yours truly) that Omegle is filled with creepy old guys.

There are plenty of small social media startups from that era that never had as much of a pedo presence as Omegle.
Oh no. A really sad moment. My condolences are with him. RIP.
People no longer know how much to tip
When on its own, which it is in the descriptions, I couldn't tell if it was an I, Z or l. It looks cool, so I guess I'd just get used to it. But I fully agree that those tails are really exaggerated.
Also, according to Don Knuth himself: "Asking an artist to become enough of a mathematician to understand how to write a font with 60 parameters is too much".
This mindset leads to a multitude of bugs and brittle non-portable code. Almost as bad as sticking pointers into a uint32_t and breaking portability off of 32-bit platforms. int is 16-bits minimum. If 2^15-1 isn't enough range, switch to long and stop writing brittle code.
Best wishes to Woz and his loved ones.

You dont need GOG running/installed to play GOG games, thats whats so great about GOG.

Does CTRL-TAB (or whatever is used for auto-complete) count as a word?
Those regulations seem well-founded: California has a population density of 258.21 per mi² compared to 5.9 per mi² in Wyoming. And that doesn't even start to account for agricultural production for human consumption (versus livestock). Those limitations are reasonably founded if human wellbeing is the metric.

Thus: This is good, despite any feelings about regulatory burdens.
The CIA Office of Enhanced Interrogation becomes CIA Office of Enhanced Optometry.

Now that's a euphemism for ya.
Ah yes, the classics. The Illiad, the Odyssey and of course RFC793.
Not to be too pedantic, but I think you have one too many zeros on that, unless you're playing 18 hrs a day, every day.
Those are too big to fail. Nobody would buy an iPhone that doesn’t have Instagram.

500px is another example of a site full of nudity that has to arbitrarily censor for iOS, all because Apple is protecting their 10x-market-rate credit card processing business (30% instead of 3%) by preventing sideloading. It’s bullshit that Apple decides for me what I am allowed to view. How convenient that it also protects their revenue stream.
So time sharing systems don’t get filled up with people playing games.
> HN has only 2-3 mods, yet I don't see a plethora of old men's schlongs on here.

HN doesn't even allow text formatting changes beyond monospace and italics, much less posting pictures or video.

Even without moderation, you'd only be at risk of ASCII art schlongs.
Sure, I think the depth of thinking or problem solving is clearly important.

But, I don't think your claim is in tension with the article's claim that being able to type fast lowers a barrier (or provides a benefit) that's more than simply the "time it takes to literally type".

There's more there there.
If you work at home, why are you typing into things like Slack? I dictate all my comms, and it's way faster than typing. I use Google's speech input.
Thanks! If you do go back to working with mobile apps in the future, don't forget to check it out :) even if the project doesn't get any customers, I don't intend to shut it down, because it's super useful to me personally, so it should be up and running for years to come ;) — assuming Google/Apple doesn't kill or sherlock it lol
There's a gentleman who came across my radar, who follows this kinda stuff much like a 'storm chaser' might in the US. He has a recent (Wednesday) video where he found hotspots on the surface with a thermal camera - close enough to the Blue Lagoon that it's in-frame. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KV75cDceExw&t=115s

It's worth noting the area is surprisingly flat. Flat like sandpaper - it's not at all smooth, but there's not much of a gradient either. Essentially whatever the volcanic version of a flood plain is. So a surface fissure here could be quite problematic. It's very close to the power station, very close to the resort, and there's not a lot of geography to channel it away.
You should really be using stdint.h types these days unless you are just writing personal stuff/toys/doing homework. Do it even in using temp variables for things like for loops. Keep things explicit, distinct and obvious. It will help you debug later on. *

The inttypes.h manpage has a rationale section that's important here.

Especially in data structures if you are hitting the disk or network - the data structure alignment can get screwed up once it hits another machine. It's not worth it; stable reliable C is hard enough already. Things tend to break in stupid ways when you do things in old school ways. It's why people replaced that stuff.

* - As an example, instead of calling the collection of a type, say "review" as say, "reviews", call it something like "reviewList" or "reviewGroup" - it's easier to scan for errors and you keep the type with the name. This pays off big time especially in larger, messier code-bases where there's multiple ways to do collections of things that only differ in dumb bug-ridden ways. You're only going to work on broken code because code that's not broken doesn't need work.
> Even for Miami, which is very elevation

I was going to make a refined criticism but this typo makes it clear - neither you nor anyone else knows what is happening with sea level rise. Why question "NOA" - named NOAA ? because of recent activity in the western antarctic ice shelf.

sorry to dismiss this comforting thought, but no, nobody knows what the sea levels will be in the year 2100 -- this is a serious situation and it is getting worse now.

At a cursory glance Fennel is not a Common Lisp. It is an unknown to me lisp dialect.
There are also hemorrhagic strokes aka: brain bleeds. I had a non-traumatic hemorrhagic stroke at 40. That fuckin sucked. It still sucks 2 years later, but I’m so grateful for where I’m at. Losing one’s ability to speak coherently, at midlife, is a stark reminder…everyone is only temporarily abled.
I don't get it. This is a significantly worse form factor than a smartphone with no capabilities that my smartphone doesn't already have.
Until now I thought I was a good typist. As I tried writing a rebuttal I realized that while I don't "think" the motions, I do have to think about each letter, what case to use, the actual spelling of the word. VS just thinking the thoughts.

I did know a guy once who was one of our rockstar devs. While he was incredibly smart, I think his real superpower was how fast he typed. The words just appeared on the page. And if you were over his shoulder, his accuracy didn't decrease that much. When someone is watching me, I lose 50% accuracy.
Not exactly equivalent, but for some of us playing an instrument is every bit as entertaining as playing a video game.
By the way, “Colossal Cave Adventure” was a retcon added at least 20 years later.

The game was originally called “advent”.
Alright, let's make it zero then. Once a significant fraction of people stop tipping (10-15%), service staff will demand raises, which will reflect in the increased prices, causing more people to not tip, and the cycle will complete relatively quickly with only a small portion of people left tipping any significant amount. Some businesses may advertise as non-tipping as a form of marketing.
I always tip cash even if I pay with a credit card. Taxation is theft!
ExploreHere's City Search helps you find History in any US city
We just launched our first web feature, City Search!

This lets you find history around any US City - From there, you can explore historical markers on a map and have interpretive signs read aloud.

One of the best use cases we’ve had for GPT-3.5 has been as a quick and dirty classification algorithm. By providing GPT-3.5 with a prompt like “Rank this marker on a scale from 1-10 on how important it is to US history” GPT has been able to get us a quick MVP result much faster than traditional ML methods.

We then use this ranking to determine if a particular marker is worth converting to audio (via ElevenLabs), or just having GPT-3.5 provide us a summary of the marker’s content.

Here's an example of one a marker with ElevenLabs audio: https://www.explorehere.app/markers/6430addf66849758ea08c8b1
It's paywalled, but yeah I just do what I learned growing up: 15% is a solid tip, with more, e.g. up to 25% for excellent service or less - down to 0 - for bad service. $1 per drink at a bar. Or if I'm broke, I don't tip at all and feel bad about it. The young people who tip 25% and up and sneer at you if you don't can get right off my lawn and their sneers have no effect on me.
Yes but that is a cultural thing. And this is a big theme at Google, and I can say from my limited personal experience working there that it probably stems from the perf process.

Look at it this way: Let Π be $PERFCOIN, the currency that is evaluated at performance review time.

- Buying the company, got some folks some Π

- Rewriting the code, got some (other) folks some Π

- Maintaining the code, was not a reliable way to gain Π

- Listening to users, interacting with and surveying them, and implementing what they wanted, was not a reliable way to gain Π.

I worked on an internal tool at Google so I didn't have to deal with the huge warnings about accessing user information,[1] yet topic (4), there was just no great way to contact your users, no great way to shadow them as they were using the product, there was a way for them to request features but obviously that would be dominated by 5-10 voices trying to use the product in ways it was never meant to be used...

Point (3) I eventually figured out how to do at Google before I left, first off you have to call it “tech debt” and THEN you need to create metrics for your tech debt and THEN you need to set an ambitious goal for “reducing tech debt metrics by 80%” and THAT is worth some Π to some of the managers reviewing your perf.[2]

1. Well, I actually did, because I needed a signoff from a privacy team to confirm that our use didn't violate Google privacy standards, which the senior members on my team understandably didn't even want to do, “can't benefit us, can only hurt us if they say we do need to protect Googlers’ privacy from other Googlers”—thankfully the voice of reason mostly prevailed, with a long tail of making sure that we used opaque UUID identifiers to refer to our projects, and not, say, GCP project IDs...

2. Worth saying, they transitioned not just to a less frequent less painful perf review process at the end of last year, but it was also a more authoritarian one, Instead of your perf being evaluated by a faceless committee of your manager’s peers, it is now assessed by your manager directly. This is a huge win for transparency and resolving the problem where (3) and (4) don't give Π , because pleasing the faceless committee involves standards that are completely unknown to you, but making your manager happy is what people do at any normal job. So this was widely internally criticized, but to my view it's actually potentially able to resolve the systemic problem, not immediately, but as culture drifts to be slightly more normal.
I for one am getting sick of the constant request for tips, especially before services rendered. I feel obligated to tip because I'm worried if I don't I'll be getting "trouser food" as Roy says, and so whatever the price i think I'll be paying is actually $5-$10 more than expected.

Especially with delivery at this point or places that are self service.
Hi, just to sate my own curiosity: can you please provide me a link to this presentation, if it's available online? Thanks...
It's definitely what happens initially, the question is whether you have the ability to rewire/relearn how to see latter in life.
Dogs are wonderful.

Dog owners are a menace to society.

No exaggeration. Living in a city all the poop and urine just…hanging about. In the winter time with the snow, all the aged crap sitting out there, for months!, is thoroughly disgusting. All because of laziness or negligence.

And you could say, well that’s just a fraction. So let’s add to that fraction by pointing to the other problems of laziness, negligence, and (imo) abuse:

- Owners have their dogs in lockdown, what, 22 out of 24 hours a day? (On a good day.) Feeding them the same food day in and day out. Whenever the animal goes outside to pee or poop they’re leashed and collared. That right there is a prison sentence.

- Owners that provide no discipline, training, and, worst of all, no purpose.

- Owners that get a specialty breed (for example a pointer or a spaniel) and hunt and work them none. (What a crime).

- Owners who have got down on all fours and played with their dog are few and far between.

You may say “how does poorly treating dogs result in being labeled as a menace to society?” I would say that so commonly dis-valuing such a great animal lowers the acceptable level of ethics and principles in a society. And all the urine and fecal soaked parks.

(Clearly, my writing style is not the best).
Spaces like this deserve to exist too, and removing them from the world makes the world worse.

Omegle has been a great place for content creators [1], people learning languages [2], LGBT youth escaping their religious/rural upbringings, etc.

I hope you don't take this fight to VRChat [3, 4, etc]. That might just be too much freedom for people.

Shame on people trying to kill these platforms.

Rare earth refining traditionally generates a lot of toxic waste of various sorts. This could likely be mitigated but it would raise the cost of the finished product well above current market norms, so unless universal standards were applied, it would become unprofitable relative to China.
