Using Windows 11 is, for me personally, absolutely brutal. The defaults feel anti user. An example in the form of an issue I encountered recently: if you have an OS that fails to boot, and you had files on demand enabled in directories backed up with one drive, the files are totally inaccessible on the local disk, even if you had them "synced".

It seems like retrieving files from my SSD should be a basic function of a general purpose OS, but they've gone and bungled it in order to push dependence on their cloud services.
For what it’s worth, propagandaness (is that a word?) of content has very little to do with how factual it is.

> How accurate is BLE beacon count, as a proxy for occupancy?

But how often is an accurate count needed? The initial requirement of the project was just for the OP to "avoid crowds in the dining hall", and for that all one needs is a general idea of highs and lows.

In your business, do customers expect high accuracy? All of them, or some of them?

Also, regarding MAC address, even if they're randomized, isn't there a way to know what kind of device it is? (to count only phones for example, and discard headphones, etc.)
Said no one, ever.
I’m hoping for a built-in resource sharing mechanism. I have a dual 4090 server accessible but right now all I can do is run blender on it. I’d love a way to just transparently use its resources while working on my machine.

Seems I’ll have to keep waiting.
Not sure, but if there's any place you could find genuine posts like this it's a subreddit dedicated to the product that's being praised.
Are people not allowed to have a positive opinion about an OS you dislike?

The OS is like a tool, not a religion. If it works for you great, if not then pick another tool, no need to go into a heated holy-war debate about how your tool is the beast and other people are using the wrong tool.
Damn, building homes fast and loose like that would probably solve our housing crisis, unfortunately no politician would allow for that
Yeah, Blender is maybe the best open source software I use. I don't feel a need to use any other 3D modeling software, it's so robust and works so well (from what I can tell, I'm still mostly an amateur and have barely scratched the surface of Blender still).
Not surprising to me.

The entire logical envelope of digital music tools for western music has mostly been known since then and the goals haven't changed much.

Mostly, it has more, faster, and cheaper since then.

Anyway, I don't want my hammer to sprout a saw blade or corkscrew or a nut driver every six months.
Windows is easily the best desktop os right now. Linux requires a vast amount of intricate knowledge, constant troubleshooting, just to keep your system running. There is a way to not do this, but it needs you to never update the system at all. And macos is not even available for people to install on their pc, so that's not an option.

My windows PC stays updated without issues, never faced any strange issues with audio, graphics, nothing. My games run the best they can on my hardware, I don't have to worry about tinkering with stuff. What's not to like?
It doesn’t. This is one of the accounts talked about in the article. Read through the users previous comments. Young account, all comments primarily focus on anti US pro China sentiment.
These comparisons tend to be very tedious. I use Windows 11, MacOS and Linux in different scenarios. They have advantages and disadvantages for different applications. My main computer is Windows because it works better for my needs, but Linux is great too. I like MacOS the least, but it does really well in battery life with the M2 processor.
It appears that OpenAI, just like GitHub is struggling for uptime and resiliency and cannot handle Google's scale.

Lots of strange comparisons and claims towards replacing search engines which given the tons of outages is far from that.

Had ChatGPT not been behind a login wall, the inference costs and outages would only skyrocket.
Somewhat off-topic, but I must ask: does UBI not depend on expected infinite economic growth?

If the economy grows, then we assume the tax base supplanting the UBI coffers will continue to match outflows. But if the economy does not grow, then... what happens? The starkest issue in my mind is what is happening in the EU and the US: social welfare is not looking sustainable from an economic perspective.

And if we do implement UBI to such a degree that people are allowed to live a life completely without any physical need for traditional income... wouldn't that cause the collapse of the country's economy when its workers realize there is no longer a point to laboring? At that point, who exactly is going to pay for UBI?
"Hallucinations" aren't a difference sorry given how much people do it.
> Forests in semi-desertic and temperate/dry climates naturally burn frequently.

Yep, and they are very important for biodiversity, but those aren't:

1) Most of the forests in the planet (If I'm not wrong, mature forests occupy more area still, 11% of the emerged areas is taiga).

2) neither mature forests (in the sense of "close to ecosystem climax"). They are either transitional (If let alone, they evolve to the next step that is a higher state of complexity) or trapped in a fire loop.

3) Fire loop that is not natural. We can't claim that something is naturally burn when in a 90% of the cases the culprit is the man.

Therefore claiming that "most of the forests need to be burnt regularly as good management practices" is not correct.

I've told people, every experiment I do with it, it seems to do better than asking stack overflow, or helps me prime some code that'll save me a couple of hours, but still requires manual fix ups and a deep understanding of what it generates so I can fix it up.

Basically the gruntest of grunt work it can do. If I explain things perfectly.
Having worked in enterprise software, it has been my experience that the majority of in-house repos operate in a caching mode and not mirroring. The critical element is being able to build things in CI that are being PR'd/reviewed or are already merged and in both cases the relevant dependencies should already be cached. That and being able to re-build any tagged releases, again should be cached. New libraries being temporarily unavailable are generally not going to hold up critical processes, and the upstreams have been available enough for that to never be a serious issue.
It's the standard practice when the road is closed. It doesn't give apocalyptical vibes to me, but maybe roads break too often where I live :)
Krita is nowhere near the level of Blender. It is more on the level of Inkscape.
Judging by their post history I don’t think so unless this was a month long troll.

That being said, they seem to have been having problems so it isn’t crazy to think they would have moved to Windows and it just works as they want it too.
FYI MonoGame actually supports modern .NET (6+). In fact I think it no longer supports Mono at all, though I'd need to double check on that.
Intuitions are better and more concisely communicated through images and spoken word, rather than written text.

If all technical details are necessary to get the big picture across, then I agree one should move to text and equations. But this is rarely the case (I challenge any text to try to compete with a 3blue1brown video).

Most people are too lazy to read a wall of text. They would rather invite a speaker to go through 20 slides and get the big picture.

Technical details in my opinion are overrated, and should be relegated to computers.
As a point of housekeeping, the title here was a little confusing to read. A lot of negatives. Reading the article seems to give a completely different story as a telco exec likens the horse-to-car transition as similar to what we're experiencing now with AI/ Not sure how the title fits in to that.
We believe that babies' lives should have rights after birth, too, and if you look at infant mortality rates in states that whose politicians are against abortion, you see that obviously a fetus's right to live ends at birth.
On a related note, I recently discovered that the MacOS video player lets you select and copy text from any video you're watching. It's ridiculously cool. I wonder how it works though.

Only months? I know better then to go do that sort of thing. Someone else can go do those things. Not me.

>Fundamentally, understand that autistic people are just people. We want to fit in and get along as much as anyone. And if you're on a part of the spectrum where you can be a successful developer, you're probably very aware of your differences and limitations. But no one gave us the book that the rest of you play from. We need clear, well-defined rules with logical, coherent reasoning behind them. If rules don't make sense, they'll be broken when convenient. But if you punish me for breaking a rule I didn't know about, you might as well have killed my dog. Absolute mortal enemy, never forgive, never forget.

Oh, gotta love when you haven't actually broken any rules but you're being punished anyway. Oh man... the story of my life.
Boy it didn't take much scrolling there for the comments to get inane.

"the Micro$oft haters would have you belive that opensource is a wonderful garden of altruistic developers all helping out with each other's code for free.

Well if anyone thinks that I suggest they go and look at how many billions the companies like Debian and Redhat are worth. Nobody is working for free and it's simply do you pay for the ownership and get free support or do you get product for free and pay for support."

Yep. Those sure are the only two options when you use Linux. /s

This was a result of the MonoGame community having nervous feelings about the state of affairs around Unity and just changing ToS and charging installation fees. MonoGame always wanted to have a foundation to steer direction but didn't feel it was warranted until now. Until now, the community mostly agreed on what was needed and what was superficial. Just provide an XNA-compatible API that works on all platforms. Nothing more.

Glad to see it.

I'm very much a Linux person, having used it for decades, but I still find whenever I need to do something in Windows, that it's a total mess with regards to the different GUI paradigms in use in different tools. For instance, setting up an iSCSI volume drops you into some archaic window that isn't resizable despite having lengthy WWIDs that need to have their column size increased so that you can then scroll and actually see the relevant bit at the end. And that's just one example from the top of my head. Maybe I just notice the glaring inconsistencies and user-unfriendliness of it because I'm much more at home using a CLI which is typically very flexible and doesn't force you to interact with poorly designed GUIs.
this be the answer. GPT is as good as the dataset it's trained off of, and if you're going by the combined wisdom of StackOverflow then you're going to have a middling time.
Maybe - though I think it's more of a cornered resource. You have specialized knowledge that attracts specialized people which create more specialized knowledge. Creates a sorta feedback loop.
Seems like there could be positive uses of this, but not when combined with the US's insane plea-bargain system, a racially unequal society and a police/probation service who treat suspects as guilty.

I consider AI as still at the early stage, if we're talking about chees AI that began it's popularity in 80s and the surge of LLM at 2018. Yet just after several years since chatGPT, I see that there's many drawings of AI-generated that's good. The growth of AI is astonishing fast and in 5 years it'll be completely different beast than today.

I think people underestimate the capability of AI. It's effect may be equal with or more than industrial revolution. Mass surveillance, deep fakes, text to voices, ocr, autonomous driving, will be conducted at a scale that never be seen until now. This may be the first time where a small set of party can hold physical (like in military) powers over millions of people, after nukes.
Far down in the article: "Many in the OE [over employment] community, in fact, have taken advantage of the trend by getting a full-time J1 [job 1] that provides them with health insurance and then taking J2s [job2] and J3s that are contractor positions, which often come with higher pay to compensate for the lack of benefits."

So it sounds like some of this overemployment noise is just the classic moonlighting on the side.
Maybe that is the exact problem this is meant to solve. Maybe all these countless apps cost too much to host for google?
> if an individual is able to complete their sprint while juggling two other full-time jobs, does this imply they should have taken on more tasks?

To answer your question: no, it doesn't imply[1] that.

Your comments suggest you have a mental model of markets where workers should be rewarded (compensated) by the employer for their toil instead of producing value. That's bad business. It's especially bad business when the reaction is a campaign to realign the organization with an a priori interest in making sure it employs only toilers.

> If a company's sprint is easily manageable, does this suggest that the team size should be reduced, potentially leading to layoffs?

"Should" from the perspective of whom? You're running on a platform of wealth concentration for business owners. Predatory value extraction. Parasitism instead of symbiosis. <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37472726>

Ignoring that, if management has so little idea what workers' output should look like that they resort to basing their assessments on how much it seems to hurt to the worker, then the business should consider focusing on management when deciding who to let go.

I know multiple software devs that play hockey 3 times a week during the work day. They could easily be working 2 full time jobs at the same time, but why would you, if you didn’t need to?
Given your setup would it be easy to make a data exporter/importer? That way you could give them the data and shut down before opening the source.
The biggest advantage Unity has over alternatives like Godot and MonoGame is the ecosystem around the engine, not the engine itself. Things like the asset store and the wealth of tutorials out there. It will take time for the ecosystems around open source engines to match or exceed that of Unity, but the more people leave Unity the faster that will happen.
These systems are based on the idea is that rather than directly editing the shared document, each program sends a stream of “update objects.” An example would be “create new line $xyz after line $abc.”

These “update objects” can be combined to get the current document state.

They have the property that if two programs receive the same set of uodate objects, regardless of the order they get them in, then they have the same current document state.

They define any state resulting from applying the operations as “legit.” In order for that to feel “legit” to the users you want to very carefully choose your operations and their semantics.
My conclusion, drawn from decades of electronics purchases, is that AppleCare is the only extended warranty worth purchasing.

It's only RARELY come up for me, but since I use my machine for work knowing I'm covered for 3 years is nice. This USED to be the period I'd keep a computer, too, but for about the last maybe 8 years (?) I find the upgrade-at-36-months thing isn't as much of a slam dunk as it used to be. I kept my last one like 4.5. My current one is 2-year-old M1 Macbook Pro, and it's still crazy fast to me. I can't imagine that's gonna change in a year.
Depends on local laws and jurisdiction. US famously has no communication secrecy laws, some countries states broadcast is free to listen, etc.

But I think the point made in GP is tracking people, although indirectly, could qualify as `human subject research`, the same technical category as Stanford prison experiment, MKULTRA project, standard website A/B testing, etc. I don't think it's going to be a problem per se, but can be an opportunity to discuss and learn about ethics and processes.
There's nothing to "support". That's why it's a standard. Mono will run MonoGame builds on platforms where Roslyn/Core won't. I can think of a couple. PS4 for example.
You can simulate things with different models. Sure.

I don't think there's any point to address here though. It's not like you can ascertain what kind of model is being used for LLM predictions other than a hunch.

Meanwhile I've given several examples. I can show another one of an Othello LLM constructing a state of the board of the game of Othello to aid predictions.

If x is n bits long, it's undefined behavior to evaluate x >> n. You can only shift by amounts smaller than the register width. IMO this is one of the more annoying instances of UB. Precisely because of situations like this, where you shift by "number of leading zeroes" which can end up being the width of the register.

Absolutely correct, I glazed over the continuation. So, for the record:

Article: {{ARTICLE}}

You will generate increasingly concise, entity-dense summaries of the above Article.

Repeat the following 2 steps 5 times.

Step 1. Identify 1-3 informative Entities (";" delimited) from the Article which are missing from the previously generated summary.

Step 2. Write a new, denser summary of identical length which covers every entity and detail from the previous summary plus the Missing Entities.

A Missing Entity is:
- Relevant: to the main story.
- Specific: descriptive yet concise (5 words or fewer).
- Novel: not in the previous summary.
- Faithful: present in the Article.
- Anywhere: located anywhere in the Article.

Guidelines:

- The first summary should be long (4-5 sentences, ~80 words) yet highly non-specific, containing little information beyond the entities marked as missing. Use overly verbose language and fillers (e.g., "this article discusses") to reach ~80 words.

- Make every word count: re-write the previous summary to improve flow and make space for additional entities.
- Make space with fusion, compression, and removal of uninformative phrases like "the article discusses".
- The summaries should become highly dense and concise yet self-contained, e.g., easily understood without the Article.
- Missing entities can appear anywhere in the new summary.
- Never drop entities from the previous summary. If space cannot be made, add fewer new entities.

Remember, use the exact same number of words for each summary.

Answer in JSON. The JSON should be a list (length 5) of dictionaries whose keys are "Missing_Entities" and "Denser_Summary".

And yes, the answer as a JSON list length 5 causes 5 summaries to get spit out!

However, it's not fully clear to me that it's considering the prior summaries on the later summaries in a good/useful way. The expressly iterated results I get are superior to the inline list of results.
