Summarization is a fundamental capability these models develop early on. Remember that one of the things that impressed people about GPT-2 was the discovery that you could prompt them for summaries just by appending "tl;dr" to some text?

The issue was always quality, length of summarized text, and control of exactly what kind of summary.
I just starting using .NET professionally very recently and coming from Go and Java a lot of the .NET platform is just downright pleasant.
This is the most reposted item on Reddit.

All launches are timed, even the shortest notification window is 24 hours for a launch, I could go make this same exact video every week at Cape Canaveral.
I would say Blazor is really very very good now. One of the most awesome things about it is that your skill with it transfers almost directly between a desktop app, web API, or web site. All the code is almost the same.
At least until it gains an immense market share and Microsoft starts monetizing it again. They've already tried in .NET Core 7, no? I'm staying away for now.
> I think Adobe has really improved the last decade or so in this regard.

They massively increased the complexity of their products after introducing the Creative Cloud. It's an absolute mess that can cause delays in Microsoft (!) just to make the new Windows release work with it. And Photoshop in particular has the byzantine PSD format that requires them to keep old versions of the code to read old versions of the format.

Adobe software in general resembles Windows nowadays - they are trying to modernize it but legacy decisions keep them from doing too much, as they can't break backward compatibility, their entire business model depends on keeping the users locked in. As a result, their old software is a terrible mishmash of UIs from different eras.
This has been my experience as well - For repetitive things, If what you're looking for is the shitty first draft, it's a way to get things started.

After that, you can shape the output - without GPT's help - into something that you can pull off the shelf again as needed and drop it into where you want it to go, because at that point in the process, you know it works.

By making this comment you want to shift blame away from Russia towards Ukraine, implying that Ukraine is somehow responsible for the uptick of hostile actions against EU and not Russia.

Or in other words: you're being a useful idiot for Russia.
I'm not really sure what I'm looking at. It seems to perform flawlessly for me... when using Python: https://chat.openai.com/share/7e048acb-a573-45eb-ba6c-2690d2...

I only made two changes to your prompt: one to specify Python, and another to provide explicit instructions to trigger using the Advanced Data Analysis pipeline.

You also had a couple typos.

I'm not sure if "Programming-like tool that reflects programming language popularity performs poorly on unpopular programming language" is the gotchya you think it is. It performs extremely well authoring Kubernetes manifests and even makes passing Envoy configurations. There's a chance that configuration files for reverse proxy configuration DSLs have better representation than F# does. I guess if you disagree at how obscure F# is, you're observing a real, objective measurement of how obscure it is, in the fascinating performance of this stochastic parrot.
Just FYI, the past tense of "strike" is "struck", not "stroke". It could be argued that it should be "stroke" to parallel words like "break-broke" and "wake-woke" but it's not. English is weird. (And the past tense of "hike" is "hiked", not "huck" nor "hoke", which aren't words at all [UPDATE - turns out they are, see child comment from u/GrinningFool], but they probably should be.)
Big plug for logseq here. After trying Evernote, Apple Notes, Roam Research, Obsidian, and Logseq, I'm finally happy.

Obsidian has got strangely popular... but for me Logseq wins because of the block-based way of working (which Roam also has) is much more flexible. Instead of just making monolithic notes, you can measure data points, reproduce blocks, query data, etc. You are crafting from much more flexible clay.

I can interlink all around my knowledge base. I can, in my daily journey, add points under tags or headings, that I can then query in reverse. I can make pages from blocks on other pages. I can keep track of meeting types, specific meetings, individuals at them, topics, etc. It is flexible enough to be very powerful but also doesn't need me to make upfront decisions. I can just build things out day by day.

An interesting view is that people would still "work" even if they weren't needed for anything productive. In this "Bullshit job" interpretation wage labor is so critical for social organization and control that jobs will be "invented" even if the work is not needed for anything, or is actively harmful (and that this is already going on).

Asp.net Core in .NET 8
I'm a SysAdmin. I get handed phones all the time to look at an issue.
A decade ago I started cycling between iPhones and Androids every 18 months or so, to stay current on both.

This is my take on the ecosystems. YMMV.

In simplest terms, Apple keeps users away from control. They make decisions for the user and often, it's reasonable. In some cases, Apples control makes useful features no-gos. Tasker is an example. It's either not present or crippled.
In summary, iPhones are great choices for people that just want a smartphone. They don't plan on getting fancy with it, they just need a daily driver.

Android is more of a swiss-army knife, imo. It has more flexibility, at the cost of ease-of-use, to get that. The UI overlays, for the most part, are tragedies. AOSP is the gold standard for me, but Pixel hardware has been a shitshow, so good luck with that. Android is a more developed (wide-reaching) OS, being used in numerous IOT and other devices. In summary, its also a daily driver, but mostly for those that like to tinker or have an all-in-one device. The overlays can be a PITA, but you get what you get and some folks like them.

I'm a career SysAdmin. I've done seem edits on flip phones, I've rooted and rommed Androids, I've jailbroke my iPhones in the past. Now? It's just a phone.
I use better tools for things I need to do, rather than try to bend 1 device to be everything.

Again, YMMV.
Developers Should Go to Meetups – Even If They're Not Looking for a Job
There used to be .NET Framework (which was a Windows only runtime built by Microsoft) and Mono (an open source implementation for various other platforms).

In 2016 they started building .NET Core which is new open source implementation (built mostly by Microsoft) which runs on more platforms. For a while all three existed side by side.

Eventually .NET Core caught up and overtook the other implementations. These days Framework is legacy. Core has been renamed to just .NET (since it's now _the_ runtime) and Mono (as far as I know) has been totally replaced by it.

This is all from memory, so apologies for any inaccuracies!
It's very far away from anything that you could call proof. Read carefully: besides the title the whole article is full of disclaimers. Already on line two "say people familiar with planning" -> but not who those people are.

Anonymity, 'people familiar with his role', that bit is repeated over and over.

I'll reserve my skepticism until there is hard proof and even then: if it turns out that this was a rogue action how much weight should be attached to it? Does that rule out some invisible paymaster?

Ukraine top government officials have denied involvement and knowledge of involvement and that's where it stands for now. The article would have been improved if it had said 'Allegedly' in the title, which given the thin sourcing is not a minor oversight.
85% -> 99.6% is a ~35X reduction is absorbed solar energy. Definitely a game-changer. (Assuming it holds up in real-world use, etc.)
That's correct. I spent over a year trying to negotiate with them adding an external insulation because the flat has naked bricks. Their position was basically that they aren't legally forces to do so and finding a contractor is a lot of work.
> According to [2], the cost to reclaim CO2 from natural gas sources is approximately $90 per ton on the high end

I may be reading that wrong, but I'm pretty sure that refers to the CCS cost when you capture at use (e.g. in a power plant). You can't really use CCS when you're heating a house, so the right price to compare to would be direct air capture which is an order of magnitude more expensive IIUC.
This is an excellent point. I am an expert in this field and I agree completely. Exquisite quality DSLR.
AccEar: Accelerometer Acoustic Eavesdropping with Unconstrained Vocabulary
Your [2] reference is about capture & storage for nat-gas power plants. Natural gas for heating is done at the endpoint. That's going to cost a lot more to capture.
Counter-notice and it goes to court, I believe.
>Today “everyone” goes to college but it’s also trivial to graduate college with no useful skills or mind expansion because it has become more accessible and the bar is lower. So your degree no longer signifies much about you.

In Heinlein's Friday, the heroine visits a future California. The government, having found that those with college degrees earn more money, promptly issues every citizen a bachelor's degree to correct this inequitable situation.

Would I, as the target driver, be able to mute it?
I had this mindset when I went to UNC Chapel Hill 20 years ago and studied humanities. As a software engineer for 15 years now, I wish I'd studied something more in the vein of your work placement program. Having in-person instruction and academic rigor for a subject like Chemistry, Engineering or Computer Science is the key to really mastering it. Everything I learned in my Philosophy and Art History courses I could have gained independently through reading, debate, and conversation with friends or in other extra-curricular settings.

If I'd pursued a career in academia, or maybe law, I might feel differently but even then I'm not sure an undergrad English or Art History degree is worth anything approaching the typical cost.
Thanks. I just assumed that it would be on their Github. But it's in the Files section on HuggingFace.
I've setup my own internal kit (I'm not selling it now) and it's much work that you think to get the small details right and bring everything together properly.

I've spent a few days on it and the price is worth it to save that amount of work in my opinion.

Kind of annoyed - I just spent the past week getting familiar with Dapr, and now there's Aspire which seems to have similar goals and is also funded by Microsoft: the Azure CTO even wrote the introduction to the Dapr for .NET Developers book!

And of course the Aspire announcement makes no mention of Dapr - I wonder if the teams have even spoken to each other!
"kill email for good"

Kill it with fire, a protocol that is easily spyable, not ready for our days of mass surveillance.
Microsoft seems weird tho. They dont really support any recommended way to do .NET on Mac and you have to rely on Rider or half ass VS Code experience.

I have ThinkPad x201 since 2012. Still working as new.

Few years ago it has "fan error" on boot. So I dissemble whole laptop to get to fan (reserve whole evening) and finally put a tinny amount of vaseline on the fan shaft, put new paste on CPU/GPU and it still works. Silent and temperatures wont go above 60°C. Power comsumption on idle is however high to nowadays standard. About 42W.

I honestly cannot imagine more durable laptop that kids use today.
It is confusing, but recently it's pretty straightforward

.Net framework is the OG .Net and is windows specific. That stopped at v5 (I think)

.Net Core is the cross-platform reboot that was mostly a subset of framework, but not a proper subset.

If you wanted to write a library that worked across everything, you would target .Net standard, which wasn't a framework itself, but the intersection of APIs that existed everywhere.

Today, framework is discontinued, which makes standard kinda moot, and they dropped the "Core" branding. So as of .Net 6, that's pretty much all you'd write for new code.

If you have legacy code, then yeah you're back in that quagmire
The screen never smiles. It never makes eye contact. Sometimes the people do.
I think likeability is way too penalized these days (bias). Likeability is actually a useful trait in a team for cohesion and empathy as long as you have processes and culture to identify/manage coasting, sociopathy and toxic behavior.
> In the US it’s legally clear that if it’s in the trash it’s fair game.

That's an oversimplification, and can vary from state to state (or even city to city). In my city, the trash is in a can owned by the waste management company. As soon as it's in the can, it's considered to be owned by that company. Anyone taking things out of the cans without permission are technically stealing. Things placed next to the can (oversized items and the like) are not protected in that way.

It also matters where the cans are placed. Even in places where trash is fair game, unless it's physically in a publicly-accessible place, you're trespassing to get to it.
Definetly a project I'm keeping my eyes on.

The "killer feature" will be the plugin/extension support. Vscode got where its now mostly because of how extendable it is imo.
You might have more luck with FNA, it is meant to be completely compatible with XNA.

Let's see if we can fix that.

Found this article: https://climate.mit.edu/ask-mit/how-much-captured-co2-worth that suggests it's about twice as expensive. Though it seems that's the credit that the government pays, not the cost.
Every even release is LTS (including .NET 8 today). New projects should not use Framework at all. It's really not confusing at all.
That is surprising view to me. I tried to explain why naive anti-regulation talk is not helpful for getting more nuclear energy. The way to have more nuclear energy is to embrace and strengthen the state interest in nuclear.

A self-sufficient colony outside Earth is a worthy goal in and of itself:

1. The indomitable human spirit and drive to explore and expand

2. It's cool

3. More room for humans

There are also reasons that don't apply to Antarctica:

1. Hedging our bets against planet-ending catastrophes (global warming, giant asteroid/comet strike, ultra-pandemic)

2. Another stepping stone to exploring further interesting/important space goals, like gathering resources from the asteroid belt/moons of jupiter/etc, discovering life on Europa, and so on

My understanding is that essentially they have been trained on everything (meaning the whole internet), so there is not much left except niche sources adding incremental benefit. But granted I can imagine the data being used more effectively for training, though I doubt there would be a step change in capabilities coming from that - my suspicion is that as well as the data, the techniques have reached a maximum or close to it.
I'm curious to know how effective this becomes after your roof gets dirt & dust on it.

Having a "white" roof isn't a new thing. But most don't do it because they quickly become dirty and look bad.
The .Net ecosystem has a lot of great tooling, for sure.

The main issue I have had is if you are trying to get into the .Net Ecosystem without spending money. There are quite good free tools, but you have to figure out what works best for you if you're used to the non-free ones.

I assume instead of Reflector for the decompilation, you used DotPeek?
Weird. Mine (Mitsubishi Hyperheat) have a COP above 1 down to -15F, and I've seen them work just fine at 5F (New Mexico, 6000', winter nights). Check your data.
It's a fine strategy, but the critical words there are "transferring to the state university later."

Critically, a community college will NOT cover beyond the first 2-4 semesters of a university BS degree.

This is also not a sustainable strategy. At an engineering school, 100% of freshman will take calculus, and a 300:1 lecturer to student ratio is super-profitable (even factoring in recitation instructors and TAs). The cost is in the more specialized courses, which have at least as much planning, drafting of homework assignments, etc., and where those go obsolete much more quickly.

If everyone did this, price structures would need to adapt. Universities generally use large freshman classes as moneymakers to support smaller, more expensive, more specialized junior, senior, and graduate courses.

As a footnote, things like AP exams and online courses can do similar, also at low cost.
The moonshot was a technical achievement with a political goal. Putting a person on the moon in the next decade will also be a (different) technical achievement with a political goal.

70% of the US is either female, POC, or both. Enticing that mind bogglingly huge demographic into STEM has massive utility for this country. Evidence shows that people aspire more easily to be like people they resemble, and the moonshot that inspired "Whitey On The Moon" didn't do that job well.

What would you pay to add 10 million more engineers and scientists to the trajectory of this nation over the next couple decades?
Perhaps using WASM via something like https://extism.org/. That would also open it up to building plugins in multiple languages.

> But whatever we have, it's clearly very different to an LLM.

My only real quibble with your post is, again, that it seems different to an LLM. Current ML models are still multiple orders of magnitude away from being on the same order of complexity as the human brain, and scaling doesn't yet seem to have hit a limit (more a data limit).

I just don't think we can draw such conclusions at this time.
The word "supposed" is doing a lot of work in that post.

You can argue anything with the word "supposed" I guess? The voters are "supposed" to vote for elected officials who support policies and programs that will improve their lives? People are "supposed" to find rolemodels who aren't ancient slaveholders? The constitution is "supposed" to be a living document? The federal government is "supposed" to provide for the common good?
Bright democratic countries are not interested in the investigation. The resolution failed to pass because it only received three votes in favor (Russia, China, and Brazil) and 12 abstentions.
I agree this is the first time there is sort of irrefutable objective evidence that the tests are not measuring something secularly useful for programming anymore. There has been an industry wide shift against leetcode for a long time nonetheless.

> But, if you have a conversation with it

It can't tell you a straight answer or halucinates API.
It can't tell you "no, this cannot be done", it tries to "help" you.

For me it's great for writing simple isolated functions, generating regexes, command line solutions, exploring new technologies, it's great.

But after making it write a few methods, classes, it just gets extremelely tedious to make it add/change code, to the point I just write it myself.

Further, when operating at the edge of your knowledge, it also leads you on, whereas a human expert would just tell you "aaah, but that's just not possible/not a good idea".
Do you think products that are "bring your own LLM" have a chance?

You're in for a treat, especially if you can enjoy the 70s stylings of James Burke. I particularly enjoy his dry wit which would probably be toned down quite a bit for modern serious productions.

> the usual 'woke' rewriting of history & present

It's not so much rewriting (unless you're a publisher looking for free publicity), but attempting to not broadcast very offensive material that was considered normal back in the day (much as slavery used to be considered normal). Personally, I was quite a fan of "Till Death Us Do Part" featuring Alf Garnett as a racist bigot, but then I can appreciate irony and that the programmes were making the point that he was a character to be lampooned and pitied. However, there's too many people that would accept it at face value and use it to justify their vile racism, so I can understand that it's not suitable for modern consumption.
