Kind of a shame they don't still have an MMU at the station for this kind of smash and grab job.
> You suggest saying this quote was like echoing Russian propaganda:

"To try to make both sides as equal, as if both are lying to the same extent and there's the same amount of evidence for either side and that we cannot know anything."

I'm not suggesting it.

> I said that's a poisonous perspective to anyone who actually values reasonable discussion and trying to ascertain the truth, because you're effectively saying only your side (ukraine) is right and suggesting anything else is russian propaganda. So again that's why I think your perspective is poisonous.

You are not going to get much traction with this nonsense, there is no 'my side' or anything else but thank you for confirming what 'your side' is.
Rather than call people delusional, how about giving an example from the past of a technological advance that reduced the work needed to create computer programs, and consequently reduced overall demand for SWEs? I can think of plenty of advances that reduced the work involved in programming, but none that reduced overall demand for SWEs.
Sometimes the decision to move to a bigger car is triggered by roads that have been deteriorating as a result of aging infrastructure.

My decision to move up to a larger car with bigger tires is based on my experience of Bay Area roads.
Ads are their core business today. Search is only there to serve more ads. Google stopped being a search company when they bought/merged with double click.

Google without ads is an unprofitable company that constantly makes bad technology bets and cancels projects more often than they release anything useful.
Aviation is a great example of how a culture of safety can be built up. Driving culture in the US is markedly different. It's absolutely normalized to overtake a slow moving vehicle even when it's not safe and passing conditions are unclear, to be distracted and use your phone, to drive drunk, to drive along the shoulder of a crowded highway if you're in a hurry, to double park in an urban area if you "just need to stop and pick something up". The enforcement aspect is just the lagging edge of that. Hearing people talk, you'll casually hear "oh I accidentally bumped the car next to me in the parking lot while parking oops, I just reparked somewhere else." It shows; the US has the highest car crash incidence among developed nations by a long shot, with Canada a distant 2nd place.

The reason the US is considered a driving culture is only partially legislation and only partly infrastructure, it's due to a culture that treats driving as a loosely enforced activity where faults should be given the benefit of the doubt. This is the opposite of aviation where safety is emphasized in every part of the process and scary moments are encouraged to be reported anonymously through ASOS. Infrastructure is stressed as the ideal solution because it involves very little cultural change but due to a reluctance to raise taxes and aforementioned driving culture, people resist infrastructural changes which help non-drivers.

Reducing contrails would cause more warming unless we have a ton of these coatings out there
I would agree with you if it was a model trained to do computer science, rather than a model to basically do anything, which just happens to be able to do computer science as well.

Also code is probably one of the easiest use cases for detecting hallucinations since you can literally just see if it is valid or not the majority of the time.

It's much harder for cases where your validation involves wikipedia, or academic journals, etc.
Definitely Terraform for me:
- Vendor agnostic but you do have to write separate code per vendor
- Better state management capabilities
- Fastest growing dev community in IAC space (except for maybe Pulumi?)
- I don't know the current state of CDK but last year imports weren't really supported so there was no way to reconcile state with existing hand rolled infra. Speaks to TF's drift detection being a core capability.
Would ultra-black siding help warm my house appreciably in Minnesota winter?
Orleans seems to have stagnated greatly past year or two. Someone raised this issue over a year ago(that only like one person was working on it and seemingly part time) and they swore it was still going to be getting resources and continuing R&D.

Fast forward to now and it's only bug and compatibility fixes. A shame cause reminders v2 would have been an amazing addition.

Nothing? The whole point is that should be decided by fair competition and not bribing your competitors. Antitrust is not about punishing winners, it's about forcing fair competition (in theory). If fair competition is taking place then we all win.
Unix timestamp will be 1700M in an hour
OP suggested intentionally making commutes unbearable as a means of forcing people into cities to achieve this. That’s the wrong order of operations and would backfire politically imo.

Personally I work remote, so I would probably just go to the city less if it were made more inconvenient to do so. This has already happened to an extent. No free parking? I’m not going unless I have to. Public transit as it exists isn’t a good alternative either. It’s slow and I don’t want to be harassed by addicts at the bus stop.

Any plan that involves coercion isn’t something I’m interested in.
> Might it be that people are just used to Google and not that it really produces better results?

Maybe, but for me it struggles to recommend relevant reddit articles, copy+pasted error messages were hit/miss. It just feels like it sometimes misses obvious things, even word for word things, and I type it into google and it's right there. I apologize I dont have any good examples off hand
Training vs. Cited Sources or Is Bing 60k Times Better Than – CogDogBlog
The correct answer is to not directly regulate autos themselves, but instead to implement a universal carbon emissions tax that would apply to any and all sources themselves (e.g. gasoline, propane, cement, etc), proportional to the amount of carbon emitted. No carve-outs or exceptions. No offsets. No protected industries. No change with scale (volume discount). Then you let people/companies figure out all on their own how to respond to that tax.

And yeah, the chicken tax along with all the other tariffs can go.
Not only do they destroy the environment, they tear up paving with the gross vehicle weight and heftier tires.
Almost everything has moved ~to India~ [e: abroad] and there are barely any jobs left in USA, and those that do exist are being fought for by the many folks who have been recently laid off stateside.

This is simply wrong, and if anything the reverse is true: the jobs that had been outsourced to India are being brought back to the U.S. after several years of subpar work. See, for example, the most recent Marvel movies and TV shows. The abysmal VFX work was the product of outsourced VFX shops. You can bet your rear that Disney won't be repeating that mistake in the future.
If you want to segment images, classify objects, and extract metrics from the objects, you'll want to learn several deep learning methods (like YOLO, Mask R-CNN, or Segment Anything). Such tools are almost always implemented in Python, but most of your work in that space will be preparing and feeding data into the model, evaluating the output, then tuning/debugging the model and data, which is not really the same as coding in Python.
Yea backing them into parking spots is a lot easier with a bigger vehicle and I'm guessing the camera helps then see if they'll hit another vehicle.

It's very easy to tell if a vehicle is leaving a parking spot, so use your pattern recognition given to you by evolution and don't stand in front of it.

Personal responsibility people!
And also, a lot of it is low volume stuff, and fixed costs in manufacturing are huge. The reason the tools you buy at the home improvement store are cheap is because the fixed costs are spread out over thousands to millions of units. Design/labor/fixturing/tooling/etc can be brutal for low volumes.

If you want to build a single Lego, the tooling could cost you hundreds of thousand of dollars.

Nice thanks lol. I had to do a recent overhaul of this. And I agree, this is not a chatbot. v1 was a chatbot actually, but it wasn't received well for various reasons, one being that you get just one response per question, no peripheral information. I designed it to be more like tweets where you see the thing you looked for, but also get to see related stuff.

This provides a secondary benefit of making hallucinations much much rarer. Try making it lie or make stuff up, it's pretty resilient now. If you find one, let me know; I haven't seen one in a while now thanks to y'all's redteaming.

It's a custom template unfortunately, I can change the colors but it's not modular at all (yeah I know, should have maybe started that way).

For reference, I'm using React + Typescript + Tailwind.
Yes, I do. That should be a risk that you accept when you get in the driver's seat. It would affect behaviors positively by disincentivizing driving.

If you're unable to see what's in front of your 2-ton mile-a-minute machine because of a glare, maybe you shouldn't be driving a mile a minute? Clean the windows before you leave. Wear sunglasses. If the glare is "not that bad" so you don't regularly clean the windows and don't make sure you have sunglasses and occasionally someone dies because of this that is unacceptable. Glare does kill, as evidenced by increased collision rates when the sunrise aligns and misaligns with peak traffic - change the incentives so that people take steps to mitigate this.

If you're responsible for managing the behavior of a kid and also piloting a car, maybe you should have a second adult in the car. Maybe the kid should be in a seat they can't easily unbuckle, or not have access to toys they can throw in front of you. You should think about the risk to other road users and your potential jail time when you take your eyes off the road to handle some other responsibility.

Yes, I drive. Professionally! I deliver industrial equipment and travel all over the Midwest to perform upgrades, maintenance, and bug fixes on it. I take the safety of myself, pedestrians, and fellow drivers seriously when I have 20,000 lbs of steel on a gooseneck - more seriously than a lot of drivers I see around me. When I'm not traveling, though, I bike to work for 9+ months a year. And I've had my share of beer cans thrown out windows, and rearview mirrors hitting me in the butt, and coal rolled in my face, and panic from people scrolling TikTok and not seeing me until the last second. I haven't been killed yet, but I keep my life insurance paid up.

I can go nearly anywhere and replace the fuel pump though.
but what I am really wondering about is how much money (if any) was the vulnerability worth up the moment when google also discovered this?
Google's business model is data, and LLMs are downstream of that.
I apparently need to set aside a solid 15 minutes to read the announcement fully. Couldn't figure out what exactly Aspire is just reading the intro and skimming. Thought it was just like a "blessed" set of libs to build with..
Trust me, it's not uniquely American. Cars have been getting bigger in Germany too, and SUVs are the most popular category here too. Ok, most of them are not as big as in the US, but there are some (ex-Dodge) Rams (even the name is scary when you think about it) driving around here too. Every time I see one, I wonder where they find a parking space for the damned thing...
There's an old "just so" story that still pops up from time to time about how US astronauts found that normal ball point pens don't work without gravity, so NASA spent $bignum to have a contractor develop a "space pen." But the Russians used a pencil! Haha, look at these inefficient US government programs!

Except it turns out that (a) the US did originally use pencils; and (b) the last things you want floating around a space station is conductive, flammable grit. Like pencil graphite.

How to calculate low and high AFR ?
BW made a big point to distinguish between pointless rudeness and “shocking” directness.

One guy lost it in a meeting and was immediately called out for being a jackass to the person he was talking to. The calling out was the “directness” and he had to go think about that. Pointless rudeness was not tolerated.
Wow! This is cool! Have you seen the video where they use OpenAI to analyze and give commentary on live soccer games by sending screenshots of the game to OpenAI vision API and text to speech API?

>Sure, but that can be said of pretty much anything?

No, it can't

That's a horrible example.

I largely agree with the rest of the post.
Only thing I've noticed lacking in Kagi is quick math and conversions (units, currencies, timezones).
Black is a better emitter of heat, so if your home is warmer than the surroundings, it will actually make you colder. That said, infrared radiation is a small contributor to cooling at those temperatures, good insulation is the biggest factor by far.
> do the actual treatment, don't mess around with diet

No, you should do both. Telling people not to improve their diets is just as irresponsible as telling people not to take an effective medication. Especially in cases where there aren't effective treatments available, like some autoimmune and neurodegenerative disorders.

This comes with all the obvious disclaimers like do your own research, make sure there is at least some evidence for the diet's overall healthiness and interactions so that it can't make things worse.

Personally, I effectively cured a 2-year stint with long covid through diet (essentially a low sugar paleo diet). Within a few months I was able to exercise again without a fight or flight reaction after years of no improvement. Doctors (including one who was also battling long covid) told me there was nothing they could do to help, but they hoped that some of the experimental treatments like stellate ganglion block might eventually bear fruit. I could have waited around with a much lower quality of life, but instead I started the very difficult diet, and it paid off. There's plenty of snake oil out there, but don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. The world isn't black and white.

> very effective treatment which is mildly uncomfortable and time-consuming.

I'm not certain, but it seems like you are implying that diet is the easier choice. This is almost never the case, broadly speaking. Perhaps it's different in your specific community. The difficulty of sticking to a diet and knowing what foods should actually be included and excluded from a diet is probably the most significant hurdle to treating conditions that could benefit from diet (especially early onset conditions related to overall health). This is mostly a consequence of what's available and affordable in America, but is nonetheless a significant setback for recommending diets.

But where a good diets truly shine is in prevention. Just due to how unhealthy the modern American diet is, it's pretty easy to find benefit, so that should be a starting point alongside exercise when you don't have a cure-in-a-bottle handy.

I'm certain you missed the "educated" part of my comment.
Better yet, include pedestrian safety in NHTSA vehicle safety ranking (it was proposed in 2020 apparently)
I had an error in my sql statement today. I forgot to use backtics around the column named "key." Bing and chatgpt both said my query was correct. I realized my mistake and told the model and it said, "ah, yes, you are right."

Like the Demon Cat from Adventure Time, it has approximate knowledge of many things. I think it will need a sherpa to be useful.
It's hard for me to not view LLMs the exact way I have seen machine vision.

I remember tinkering with the Cafe Classifier in 2014, and thinking self driving cars were right around the corner. "It's all just a data problem", well it turns out those data problems are really fucking hard apparently.
These things seem to go in pairs, as there is currently a new Intel CVE on the frontpage too. Someone in the Intel thread mentioned that the underlying issue may be x86 having more and more stuff piled on top of it. That's been great for compatibility, but I'm wondering if it might be worth Intel/AMD making an x86 lite that strips everything but the necessary instructions.
Yeah, I’m skeptical of that claim as well. And if someone tried it on me I’d tell them and their city to go fuck themselves, not move there. I can’t be the only one with that attitude.
Is it a SUV by the true definition of one or a crossover?

The term SUV has been manipulated to the point that unibody sedans on larger wheels now qualifies as an SUV at a dealer showroom.
I'd strongly second the suggestion to use the paid (GPT-4 based) ChatGPT Code Interpreter. I've found it to be incredibly strong/useful for interactive Python coding and it does a very good job explaining itself. You can use the custom instructions like "I'm an experienced Ruby developer that last used Python in 2005" and it can provide much better results as well.

I've only poked briefly at it, but https://deepseekcoder.github.io/ evals as very strong at code and is probably the best open model available. You can chat with it for free w/ a signup (or run it yourself if you're looking for a project).

If you're looking to poke around with local models more easily, you can give KillianLucas/open-interpreter a try (in conjunction with LM Studio or w/ an OpenAI or Anthropic API key), it's pretty neat (be very careful with code execution, I'd recommend doing it in a sandbox lest you accidentally trash your system).
It appears that astronomers are already preparing for the upcoming occultation of 319 Leona with Betelgeuse.

Researchers in this July 2023 presentation note:

> Leona’s Long Rotation Period (430h) complicates determination of its size and shape.

> So it is VERY IMPORTANT that some OTHER occultations by Leona be observed from multiple stations BEFORE December 12, to take best advantage of this unique opportunity.

[0] https://occultations.org/publications/rasc/2023/2023Dec12Leo...

And there is already at least one other set of observations reported on arXiv from a September 2023 occultation:

> The stellar occultation by (319) Leona on 13 September 2023 in preparation for the occultation of Betelgeuse

> This represents an extraordinary and unique opportunity to analyze the diameter and brightness distribution of Betelgeuse's photosphere with extreme angular resolution by studying the light curve as the asteroid occults the star from different points on Earth and at different wavelengths. Here we present observations of another occultation by Leona on 13 September 2023 to determine its projected shape and size in preparation for the December 12th event.

(Amazing that it was posted ~8 days after the observations were made!)
I've been trying to use DDG for years and I really want to like it. At first it seems as good, but at some point it just doesn't cut it. Yes for most clear cut searches it's fine, but I still have to !g (use Google) enough that I haven't bothered changing for any other device. Especially not my work laptop where I have to do actual work. DDG/Bing is just not as good with programming questions.
How about https://pirateweather.net/en/latest/ ?

Does anyone have a compare this API with the latest API we have here?
Livecode does the cross platform thing
You just need to make them look like Iveco Daily, VW Transporter or other similar european dropside trucks, which make more sense for businesses and no one will buy them for their attractiveness.
In the Java world, we rely heavily on Maven which uses the BOM concept.
brother if Google isn't a candidate for an anti-trust lawsuit then literally no corporation on Earth is. Anti-trust suits are typically good things for consumers. Just look at the anti-trust lawsuit around Microsoft, it allowed for Apple to come up in the market alongside HP and others. Without that Microsoft would have maintained their dominance even more so than they have now and we'd have no alternatives. Google search is absolutely trash, they can only provide such a lackluster service by having a stranglehold over advertising and the browser market as a whole. Which they undoubtedly dominate.
We'll merge that one hither. Please stand by!
They're probably great fun in the right setting but the narrow streets where my six year old daughter is biking to school isn't it.
It is cheaper than anything before it and in many circumstances priceless.
They’re often light on plot and don’t foreground conflict. If you don’t enjoy drinking in a long animated “shot” (that’s another thing, they have relatively slow editing) with little movement or talking, don’t appreciate the attention to detail and highlighting of little everyday actions, or aren’t cool with simply absorbing a vibe, I can see how they might bore.
Hmm. Maybe the guys who wind up cancelling everything at Google are all Microsoft plants?
I think if you're asking those questions then you're ahead of where 99% of people are thinking about when they think about "AI" (as are most of the folks on this site by selection bias). I think as these tools mature and get included in more standard tools like Adobe is doing then the distinction will blur enough that there will be some new criteria. And at that point maybe people won't care enough to have that distinction. But right now, people care a lot and its (mostly) obvious enough, hence the policy.
I mean, I don't disagree, but this is still an enforcement issue. Society still isn't really sure how to easily prosecute these massive companies without also kicking open the doors to some concerning behavior.
