On the other hand, ChatGPT will helpfully run a bing search, open the relevant manual, summarize the information, and include additional hints or example code without you needing to do anything. It will also provide you the link, in case you wish to verify or read the source material itself.

So while RTFM is a useful answer when you (the expert) are limited by your own time & energy, LLMs present a fundamental paradigm shift that is both more user-friendly and arguably more useful. Asking someone to go from an LLM back to RTFM today would be ~akin to asking someone to go from Google search back to hand-written site listings in 2003.

You could try, but for most people there simply is no going back.

I suppose this is the negative about having sensors that make sure water gets hot enough to be sanitizing, but not so hot that it wastes energy. And I'm sure you can imagine 100 other uses of having a microcontroller/CPU process data and do feedback. (I'm sure there are EE only ways of doing it, but theoretically possible and useful are two different thigs)

You're missing the forest through the trees. Bitcoin doesn't have value beyond what can be converted into real currency. Real currency is used to buy things. BTC isn't. The currency-BTC market IS the entire value of Bitcoin. None of the other stuff matters, because BTC is solely denominated in actual currencies.

BTC is non-inflationary? Doesn't matter. You only use it to buy USD or actual currencies. If there's less demand for BTC, BTC value goes down. And guess what? Demand is fickle.

The cyrptographic property protection is ok in theory. But try and point out somebody it's helped? And by that I mean a non-criminal/extortionist/money launderer.

The only reason the frame the war as a matter of Southern morality is to distract from its actual stated purpose and to shame a conquered people into silence via revisionist moral smokescreen.

The North invaded the South to "preserve the union", and only emancipated the slaves as a "lever" toward that end.[0] The South fought back because it was invaded by a foreign power--one which sought subjugate the South and force its inclusion in the American Empire, contrary to the will of the southern people. This is simply a matter of fact. The men who fought off the invader will always be Southern heroes, and rightfully so. The pretense that it is immoral to defend a revolution while also engaging in slavery is, coming from the land which claims Washington and Jefferson as its greatest heroes, so utterly hypocritical that it's hard to consider it to be a good faith argument. Because it's not. It's moral blackmail.

[0]Abe admitted as much in a letter: "My enemies say I am now carrying on this war for the sole purpose of abolition. It is & will be carried on so long as I am President for the sole purpose of restoring the Union. But no human power can subdue this rebellion without using the Emancipation lever as I have done. Freedom has given us the control of 200,000 able bodied men, born & raised on southern soil. It will give us more yet... My enemies condemn my emancipation policy. Let them prove by the history of this war, that we can restore the Union without it."

Oh, I have no illusion politicians can (or even want to) solve this problem they created, even if the solution is staring them in the face. The current reaction to anything new and optimistic is fear and denial. See how news about AI were received, for example.

The only hope comes, as always, from technologists. Maybe in states/countries more friendly to innovation and not eager to regulate everything into stagnation.
I understand, but the risk of life wouldn't be from the bug, it would be from conscious choice of driving without a speedo. There's a critical distinction there.

In this case, mileage/battery are still present, and I would assume safety critical warnings would still be displayed.
Besides just selling more normal Starlink subs, they also have revenue opportunities from selling their LTE cell phone product to carriers, as well as dedicated networks like the in-progress "StarShield" for the US DoD.
I was hoping that Canonical has higher standards when it comes to server software, as opposed to something like Snapcraft, but reading this makes me think that maybe they both were developed by the same team.
The police are rarely controlled by anyone but themselves. Even MPD, who murdered George Floyd and faced protests and riots calling for reform, was able to successfully resist any form of accountability.

They simply stopped responding to calls in all of the districts represented by the councilmembers calling for reform, and made sure to tell whoever happened to call them.

I used to swear by WD HDDs, but when I literally couldn't tell which of their NAS drives were CMR and SMR a few years ago I wrote them off and went to Seagate who clearly labeled their drives.

Combine that with their lackluster reputation in solid state as of late and I probably won't buy their HDDs until Seagate one day gives me the "WTF are you even selling?" rigmarole too.
While I mostly agree with you, note that Gaza does have an large amount of rooftop solar, which theoretically could be used to mine crypto. Mining Bitcoin with expensive imported fuel doesn't make much sense.

Anyway, far more money is sent to Gaza, and Hamas, in the form of Western aid from governments. Stopping the flow and misuse of that money is far more important than crypto.

It shocks me that this article could be written without mentioning the phrase "price elasticity" a single time (a word I learned in a class literally numbered "econ 101").
The idea behind the market economy is that people still will always strive for more. Some examples of commodities that aren't strictly necessary, but can always be improved:

- video games with more beautiful or realistic graphics

- food that tastes better, costs less, or is healthier

- wedding dresses that are cheaper and look nicer

- houses that are comfortable and affordable

- to be able to take more education (some people I know wish they could take more classes unrelated to their major in college)

And what's considered the minimum standard of having one's needs met is subjective, and varies by person. For example, some people wouldn't consider raising children without buying a house first, but it's not strictly necessary for survival; my parents rented a house until I was 19.
> It also led to lots of folks going into college as "undecided" majors, paying tens of thousands per semester without any plan.

A lot of universities won't let you select a major until you are toward the end of your sophomore year. Many majors have pre-requisites that you have to satisfy, and acceptance isn't guaranteed (even if you are already accepted to the university).
It sounds like you have the luxury of working in a narrow environment, single language in one layer of the stack. I've had that experience to where I can memorize all of the relevant APIs, and code idioms by working in a single area. Many find ourselves working across the stack working in many languages to develop a solution. It is not humanly possible to have knowledge of all of the APIs and idioms at your fingertips. This is where a tool like GPT is incredibly valuable. I believe this is the future of the software profession. Having deep knowledge of software architecture and being able to develop a solution that employs several languages and frameworks.
You're right, there are two tiers of people in the field - people who know how to write software and the others.

Bootcamp is literally not a CS grad situation. And I have worked with bootcampers just over a year ago - I can only say that it's just a sea of trash. Most bootcampers are just not trained enough to think more than a minute into the future.

As for "they aren't starry eyed", you're literally proving that they are. You should know that starry-eyed doesn't mean only people who are picky, but people who think that learning the bare minimum and just treating engineering like they treated English class at school is going to land them a nice job.

The number of CS graduates that can just about write SQL that I interviewed in the last 2 years is... astounding.

In short - American CS graduates thought that they would get to do the jobs, that we don't need people for. We don't need an American employee that just about writes tests for something a code analysis tool can generate, for the price of someone who can actually deliver a product.

And let's not kid ourselves, CS graduates aren't competing against H1B hires. They're competing against other CS graduates in the US. No one is looking at an experienced engineer in Brazil and a CS graduate for the same position.

Don't forget about Gen X nostalgia! We were kids/teens when those came out and they were probably the coolest and most fun movies I'd ever seen for quite a few years.

Are they "deep"? Not at all. But between the adventure, spectacle, and the hints of so much going under the surface/in the past, it was incredibly appealing to young-me and it's hard to forget those feelings - even if the followups were either lacking the special sauce or no longer meant for adult-me. Take your pick. I still love the original 3, nostalgia or not.
My cars are from 2019 and 2001. I don't use CarPlay or any internet features in any of them. Instead, I just use my Android's screen itself for navigation and bluetooth for phone calls and music.

Perhaps there are advantages to tighter integration with my car (at least the newer one) but IMO they are outweighed by the risks of things like this, or even just getting a software update that borks a small feature that I like.

Pretty easy really. But what does being a millionaire actually mean in terms of what you can do with your life?

Is your goal really “become a millionaire”? Not “have the ability to see the world” or “live in a nice house with kids an a dog”, just “have 7 figure on a spreadsheet of what I have managed to accumulate”
Let me just hijack your thread to rant that I KNOW how to differentiate "it's" from "its" and I always use it correctly and Android insists on auto-correcting it to the wrong thing.
I frequently run into this, and it’s quite maddening. When you’re working on a toy problem where generating functioning code is giving you a headache - either because it’s complex or because the programming language is foreign or crass - no problem. When you’re trying to extend an assemblage of 10 mixins in a highly declarative framework that many large-scale API contracts rely on to be correct, the problem is always going to boil down to how well the programmer understands the existing tools/context that they’re working with.

To me, a lot of this boils down to the old truism that “code is easier to write than maintain or extend”. Companies who dole out shiny star stickers for producing masses of untested, unmaintainable code will always reap their rewards, whether they’re relying on middling engineers and contractors alone, or with novices supercharged with ChatGPT.
What kinds of changes are generally included in these over the air updates? I have this sudden urge to shake my fist at a cloud and tell the gods that cars shouldn't need updates in the first place, if the car was ever deemed ready for production and then sold to customers for money. But, maybe I'm wrong, and it makes perfect sense. All I can think of would be something like a periodic update to navigation data, is that it?
I tested out GPT-4 the other day and asked it to generate a simple two boxes in a row using Tailwind and hilariously, the resulting code actually crashed my browser tab. I reviewed the code and it was really basic, so this shouldn't have happened at all. But it consistently crashed every time. I'm still not entirely sure what happened, maybe an invisible character or something, I think its more funny than anything else.
I am still not sure why I would update software on car, a piece of hardware that, IMHO, shoupd be able to run air gapped 24/7. Exceptions: recurring bugs, GPS maps and security updates. All of which can be done either during service (preferred, if they brick it, they are liable) or by plugging in something. OTA updates just seem completely pointless...

Edit: Also, why the heck isn't the entertainment system completely air gapped from the software running the car?
You've never been to death valley without air conditioning Or Russia without heat. I think the infotainment system in this case has a broken climate control function. There are workarounds, but why if you don't have your phone?
> I think both parties are right. The cost of a university education has skyrocketed, which I believe is due to bloated administration.

I think you're mistaking the how for the why. Prices raise as long as customers tolerate it, often for lack of competition — e.g. the low number of prestigious universities to land a good job. They raise costs through bloated administration, but if customers simply stopped paying, they would be forced to become more efficient and spend less on that.

In fact, giving students more options to pay tuition over time indirectly increases prices, since they become capable of paying more — hence taking more debt — than they would otherwise.

>That's a potential motive, yes. "Make it look like US/NATO/Ukraine did it to sow discord" is also a plausible potential motive.

It's surface level plausible, as was the theory that 9/11 was an inside job because it gave the US an excuse to attack Iraq.

Russia was trying to reel Germany in with cheap gas as the bait. The whole point of natural gas to putin was to use as leverage. Blowing up their own bait and their leverage (which cost 11 billion dollars to build) doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

>When was an explosive resolution specifically threatened?

Well if you put it like that I'm pretty sure he didn't mention the precise date, the type of explosives used or the name of the diver that placed the explosives either, so maybe you're right and Putin set the explosives himself.

>Speaking at a joint news conference with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, Biden said, "If Russia invades... again, then there will be longer Nord Stream 2. We will bring an end to it."

>When asked how he would do that, he responded, "I promise you we will be able to do it."

He couldn't have been much plainer. The only thing that was required after pressuring the Germans to stop taking the gas was to ensure that they weren't tempted to turn the taps back on again when their economy started to scream: https://apnews.com/article/german-economy-growth-recession-2...
“prompt” is arguably a misnomer. In other implementations, it is correctly called “initial-prompt”, and even the whisper.cpp help describes it as an initial prompt.

It only affects the first 30 second window of the transcription, as far as I’ve been able to tell. If the word in question appears in that window, then it will influence the next window, and so on… but as soon as it doesn’t exist in one 30 second window, it’s effectively gone, from what I’ve seen.

It’s “underused” precisely because this feature is pretty much useless if you’re transcribing anything other than quick snippets of speech.

It’s also hard to use since you have to know in advance what hard-to-transcribe words are going to be in the audio.

We need a better solution. It would be much better if there were an easy way to fine tune Whisper to learn new vocab.
I'm working on E2E catalyst discovery (for all small molecule chemistry) at the moment as the primary core of Atomic Tessellator.

https://atomictessellator.com

Mars catalysis are one of my validation projects, so it's cool to see work done by other scientists in this area too!

Catalyst discovery is quite fun because the molecular actions are highly varied, and you have to also watch for specificity, selectivity stability, and all sorts of other fun stuff. I have been implementing things like MLP (Machine learned potentials) to speed up the initial search and then higher resolution distirbuted workers that do the quantum chemistry after we switch from "exploratory" to "confirmatory" simulations.

Your definition of "fair" assumes the supremacy of property rights over everything else that might potentially be valued by a society. Specifically, the right of the owner of a productive asset to collect as much of the profit from that asset as he wishes, up to 100%. You seem pretty certain of this, so I'm not going to try to talk you out of that definition, but try to imagine that there are other valid definitions of "fair" out there that don't place individual property rights as high on the totem pole.

A year or two ago, building a passable app was for the average person 100% impossible. The average person has never written code beyond "hello world," and that might have only been for a school project. Programming is not exclusively corporate mingling. I'll give that the things you describe might be necessary for sufficiently large projects, but I'd also argue that the majority of code that exists is in the smaller projects, and the average person cannot grapple with even the smallest project. Now those smaller things are accessible to the average person when they simply weren't before.

The skill ceiling of programming is still very high. The skill floor has been irreversibly raised and the skill curve forever smoothed, even if only slightly.
