Latin was the most accessible langague in all of Eurasia from the time of the Roman empire until the start of industrial revolution. The Catholic church tought Latin to everyone who either became a member of the church, payed a small fee in either money or labor and in many cases for free.

People regularly went on pilgrimages to remote places all throughout Europe and perfectly understood each other, because nearly everyone could speak Latin. Even when the Portugese landed in China they were greeted in Latin.

At somepoint the upper classes started talking more and more in regional dialects and older languages, which then spread to the normal people. The church reacted pretty much immediately to this trend by requiring prayers and certain parts of the mess to also be conducted in these regional languages (somewhere around the 8th century, I think?).

What was low initially were the literacy rates, because books were incredibly expensive. Which didn't mean that the people couldn't read or write, just not to the degree necessary to read or copy the bible in Latin, which was the most available book at the time.
The lower level person need only plug that one liner into chatGPT and ask for a simple explanation.

We're in a different era now.

Well since they are throwing less money than pretty much any space agency before them, what's the problem? They surely aren't wasting or just burning the money considering that they basically have some of the most capable and one of the most reliable launch systems in history. If you actually compare spending and budgets, you'll see how efficient they are.

And what's the issue with government funds? If the government wants to put satellites in space, why wouldn't SpaceX get paid for it? It's a massive advantage for the US government/military to have SpaceX too.
So, a few months ago I wanted to lose some weight and wanted to count my calories. As a coder would, I thought why not build a swift app that uses the ChatGPT API to count them (instead of doing it the boring way).

I'm a fairly experienced backend dev I built a few toy websites and I am casually interested in frontend stuff (like watching Fireship) so I thought I'd give it a try.

Long story short, it worked well. I have my app it has all the features I need I used it every day (till I lost 10kg) and I didn't write a single line of code.

However, the coding itself was unlike anything I had done before. I felt much more like a manager/Slave driver.

The core thing was structure structure structure. As soon as the task gets too large, GPT will produce something kind of right that is difficult to understand and impossible to extend. So your task is to split it up, and split it up. Also to apply judgment (it started out using objective-c haha). You have to ask it for alternative libraries. For reference. I relied a lot on something like: "In Python/C#/Rust I would do it like this".

But yes, my overall experience is that I think we are in for an exciting new time, but we are lacking a new coding paradigm.
Social network apps with scrolling feeds are literally online slot machines. People get stuck in the machine zone. It's exactly the same thing, minus the explicit money transaction.

This design should be regulated the same way slot machines are.
It's not possible for every workload, and sometimes the necessary effort makes it infeasible. Getting a Xeon might be the cheaper option then ;-)

Edit: Though I'd still recommend heeding menaerus excellent sibling answer. Maybe not for this project, but it is great knowledge to have in your domain and I'd expect it to be relevant for the future.
Can we please get some "vulnerable" people into the NBA? You know, the ones who aren't represented there? Definitely seems like the stronger people seem to dominate there, and it's really unfair to the weak.
Is that actually a thing? I don't think I've heard of a pattern like that
Yea, he says multiple times that he's not a good coder but that his friend is even worse. However, his worse friend + GPT combined can build whole apps.
You do not need to sort for the preprocessing based solution, you only need a K-way partition, which if I'm not mistaken, it can be done in two linear passes. I don't remember if it can be done in place easily though.
He's using Twitter / X to support his Grok AI.

> A unique and fundamental advantage of Grok is that it has real-time knowledge of the world via the 𝕏 platform.

Source: https://x.ai

So I guess Tesla will collect all kinds of information from the streets, Starlink will collect (earth and space) information using satellites, and X will collect real-time information about what people are currently talking about.

I think OpenAI may not be the biggest player in AI soon.
The Wikipedia article on Truth Social says that the Terms of Service used to include a clause which disallowed disparaging the service, although it was eventually removed. It wouldn't surprise me if posts which question the service would end up being censored or having their reach restricted.
my 2013 is Macbook is still working fine. I can still watch 1,5h movie on it. It's doing better than 2017 shite.
I know we're all biased here, as coders, but I don't see this as the end, but rather the beginning of something.

In the article, the non-coder was able to produce code with an AI's help, and therefore, coders are doomed.

But in fact what happened is it enabled two "developers" to offload the menial work and focus on the product itself.

The development of electric workshop tools didn't make woodworkers obsolete, it just enabled them to do the work of 5 people, and do it easier and faster.

We are moving from the era of hand-tools in coding.

The real risk is that we're going to see a lot of cheap shitty furniture made by people with no skills, but at least ChatGPT isn't going to chop anyones fingers off.

I guess the reasoning goes:

* I can't make enough money out of it

* do I keep this as a side project?

* if yes: development mostly stops

* if no: OK, shut down

* now that I don't fear competition, I can Open Source it

(not commenting on how valid each of these is, which is probably very hard to judge without the founder's perspective).

That's weird to read. Interpolations of various sorts are known and solved and should probably be digested by chatgpt in training by the bulk. I'm not doubting your effort by any means, I'm just saying this sounds like one of those things it should do well.

My Air to water heat pump also has a backup resistive heater built in, which kicks in around 0C. It doesn't fully switch to it until -15C, but uses it for assistive heating for things that cannot wait, like hot water.

Still, i use way less energy than i did with natural gas. The original estimate from the installer was that the backup heater would consume around 100 kWh during normal year, and considering my estimated "heating needs" of 13,000 kWh per hear, that's just a tiny fragment of that. Resistive heat is (almost) a 1:1 conversion of energy from electricity to heat, and the heat pump delivers a COP value of between 3.5 and 4, meaning i spend around 3500 kWh on the rest.

For comparison, 1m3 of natural gas contains roughly 10.5 kWh of heat energy when burned in a gas boiler, so to deliver 13,000 kWh of heat, i would have to burn 1250m3 of gas.

Where i live, in Scandinavia, electricity is around $0.13/kWh and natural gas is around $2.2/m3 (both including taxes), so in total it works out to :

- Gas : 1,250* 2.2 = $2,750 / year

- Heat pump : 3,500 * 0.13 = $455 / year

Gas is about 6 times as expensive as a heat pump here.

I very much remember reading such an article around the time they banned TT, but maybe said article was fake news, as it's hard to find any mentions of it now.
> A tweet without any context doesn't exactly prove much. No idea who is wrong about what there.

The tweet was a response to the same claims you're making, the parent tweet is clearly there. It seems that you don't even know who Tom Mueller is. I linked Tom's Wikipedia bio for context, maybe you should take the time to read it.

"Thomas John Mueller is an American aerospace engineer and rocket engine designer. He *was* a *founding* employee of SpaceX, an American aerospace manufacturer and space transportation services company headquartered in Hawthorne, California, and the founder and CEO of Impulse Space"

> I don't expect anyone employed at SpaceX to spill the beans, but there's plenty of anonymous rumours on the internet about his actual role:

Tom was already retired when he posted those tweets. So again, your claims are just patently false. Let's see...Your source is from an "anonymous rumour" and is more credible than a former/founding SpaceX employee? I have no words...

> At Tesla, despite not being a founder of the company, he contractually established that he was allowed to call himself a founder. And then pushed the actual founders out.

The Tesla Board of Directors did that, not Elon. But you knew that right? It's dishonest to attribute the success of the Tesla Roadster, Model S/X, and Model 3 ramp-up, as well as Tesla's current achievements, to Eberhard and Tarpenning.

> But he certainly has his share of character flaws as well.

Don't we all? Not a single person on this planet is flawless, and it's sanctimonious to think otherwise.

Ridiculous editorializing with the "This teenager was allowed to work and now he's dead" part. As if non-working teenagers don't also ride bikes on roads.

You seem to have fundamentally misunderstood the tragedy of the commons. Yes, public transit is well managed in certain places, so there is no tragedy. That's the point. Public or common resources must be well-managed and regulated or they're exploited without regard for consequences.

There are plenty of examples of said exploitation, just look at water rights in the US. Your anecdotal and biased experience doesn't disprove it.
Children used to work in coal mines. They can handle delivering curry to an apartment building by bicycle. Children were the original riders back when they delivered newspapers to homes, on bikes.
> Then there's the other die, as in die-cast. I think these are typically referred to as dies in the plural. I'm not sure if this terminology is still in use, it seems to have been replaced with mold.

I think die is still used when referring to metal stamping equipment and similar, but casting equipment is usually referred to with mold.
Given this is just US-sourced, generation-on-generation data, and culturally, the US is pretty homogeneous (a few percent deviation). We're talking about 15 year windows so I wouldn't expect "culture" to change this fast, so I don't think your point applies.

The headline advertised a colossal shift in "norm" over just ~15 years.

Except that it's silly bait. Millennials are ~15y older than Gen Z. Of course more Zoomers are at their parents' home, they're practically still kids.

This is accounted for further down the page at "what they did at 34/22". The increase is actually very slight. Far less than the headline suggests and immediately understandable based on the house price and rent trends as percentage of income.

The headline, and the title here are bait.
Isn't blue origin a pretty good counter factual? Started at the same time as SpaceX did, had more funds available for r&d than spacex considering Bezos was richer and Elon used to be a lot more broke than he pretended to be (I'm talking about the 2006-2018 era, where Tesla was a massive money pit and his wealth was mostly built on hype). Yet the results are pretty damning, BO hasn't reached orbit yet.
I have used LaunchDarkly in the past and yeah it's kind of a pain to use. I'm curious of what tggl offers that the others don't
> Ben told GPT-4 what he wanted and got code that ran perfectly

"perfectly"? I mean this sounds dubious. ChatGPT gives interesting suggestions and advice when it comes to coding but I've never been able to get any close to a perfect solution.

I don't think coding AI assistant's are meant to be used in that way anyway...

I think this is just another fluff piece about how coding is now dead (long live coding). That's basically not true. LLM have gave us a leg up but they haven't removed the need for a competent programmer.
So what? Governments are clearly capable of achieving these things, they've done it before. Private industry, remains to be seen. Worth nothing that it has to be profitable for it to work for private industry - possibly not what we actually want for space exploration. Would private industry have kept the voyager probes going this long?
Val (https://val.town), the new project you're working on is super cool!

To train a bespoke LLM takes a lot of effort and compute, you are perhaps better off using Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG). Here's some information from Langchain

https://js.langchain.com/docs/modules/data_connection/
https://python.langchain.com/docs/modules/data_connection/

Also OpenAi last week released Assistants which is an easy way to achieve RAG without needing new tools such as Vector Db's. Although 5000 docs is perhaps to large for assistants.

The first decision is whether you would use an Open Model such as Llama2 and host that yourself or a Model such as GPT 4 from openAi or Claude2 from Anthropic etc.
Insimply explained why I argue against right wing opinions everywhere I encounter them. And I am all for having those arguements. Not being American, I see the reasoning behind certain limits of free speech, advocating for hate and violence for example. It should be up to the courts to act on those limits, censorship of opinions has to be avoided. I have zero issue with opinions having consequences so.

And yes, we have seen time and again that, as soon as othering people becomes policy, really bad things happen. That othering starts with words, and the political right are those using those words, and ideologies, far more often than the political left. And it is the right who does that othering on things like ethnicity, sexe, religion, skin color... The left tends to other based on opinion, which while still bad, is a far cry from actually argueing for interning said others in camps, excluding them from voting, access to health care...
The LEM separates at launch from the moon. The descent module remains behind. When the ascent engine fires, it blows the gas on top of the descent module below it. The descent module, having a mostly flat top, would direct gas sideways, blowing away the tall flag, but not the footprints.
I'm a cyclist that rides anywhere between 200 and 500 Km a week (depending on the season) and does IF 20-4 from monday to friday. I usually eat after work at 4 PM.

You can absolutely do low intensity workouts in a fasted state and I regularly do so after work. In fact it helps burning fat reserves. Just don't overdo it.

On weekends, when I do my longer and/or more intensive rides I make sure to fuel properly though. I simply ignore fasting on those proper cycling days.
The US created for two purposes. Keep the Russians from invading western Europe. Keep Europeans from starting another world war. First world war millions of soldiers were sent to the slaughter. Second world war tens of millions were murdered in addition to millions of soldiers being slaughtered. With nukes in play a repeat just wasn't acceptable.

You dislike that but we were successful.

The US did try to bring China and Russia into the fold but that was a failure and has been abandoned.
Nah man there are a lot of harms that upset me where I still think regulation would cause more harm. Anything related to the latest craze over CSAM and encryption is a good example.

On the other hand, if anyone wants to try making advertisement contracts unenforceable (illegal, essentially), I'll be the first in line.
The only weak point of the x230 was the stock TN display was absolutely awful. I swapped it for an IPS.

Colin Percival's Tarsnap famously has such mechanic (though not a startup). It ensures you wouldn't fall into some kind of bus problem. However, it creates an incentive where the general public has an incentive to see the product fail. I word it like that because from my PoV the general public has a net benefit from F(L)OSS. I suppose that is why people prefer to keep such secret.

But hopefully not before it is too late. We should all think about situations where we are no longer around. Like having your keys/passwords at a notary.
I'll be concerned if I see an LLM create a secure, functional SQL schema and API with users, roles, subscriptions, products, MFA, and all the other basic requirements of modern-day apps. We're not even close to the required level of complexity yet, and I'm not holding my breath either.
The Chinese test also happened around 350km higher then Starlink satellites (850km). The natural deorbit time at that altitude is already over 100 years vs under 5 years at 500km.

Also it was literally the worst possible collision being an intentional head on collision. Satellites accidentally hitting each other on orbit are very unlikely to hit each other head on as it is very uneconomical to put satellites in a reverse orbit that low (there is a reason why we do rocket launches towards east if possible)

Here is a big lesson that I "learned": actual security does not matter for the purpose of avoiding risks and fines. What matters is the ability to say "we got hacked despite following the accepted best practice" or "we can shift the blame HERE". Having a paid-for WAF ticks both boxes.

> 12 continuous years working as an Android developer and I've never bothered to personally release an app on the Play store. There is nothing to be gained from it except needing to support it without any hope of making back the cost of developing it.

It's a Trump enterprise, so probably whatever Trump wants to spend money on, judging by how his other companies are run.

Edit: Attempt to answer unsarcastically (last 3 months):

Regulatory settlement: $10,000,000

Legal investigations expense: $388,652

Franchise tax expense: $50,000

So the majority of their losses are (one time?) legal expenses.

Whoah. For 6 months ended June 30, "Legal investigations expense" is $11M.

Is Truth Social basically paying Trump's ongoing legal costs?

Little related - this is also why I started watching movies and TV shows that are popular. I didn't use to watch a lot of them earlier. Now I understand how much our culture is affected by them and how it affects our communication.
I’ve always saw computers as a means to an end. Even in the bladerunner movies no one is sitting around pecking at a phone or a pc keyboard, it’s just holographic AI they talk to and interface with. And that’s the future of technology. Eventually you might do some sort of brain interface and be a cyborg. Who knows but the truth is, we nearing the end of humans needing to sit down and actually write code.

I think it became more common, especially public communication became much stronger (politics, news, corporate communications).

In human to human communication those changes don't necessarily apply. Even the politicians that are most violent with their words in speeches are often completely "normal" once the cameras are turned off.
