Old billionaires are dying faster than new billionaires are being created (by things other than inheritance). Or more precisely, the total wealth of the billionaires who have died is bigger than the total wealth of billionaires who became billionaires by something other than inheritance.

But this wasn't true a decade ago. So wealth creation (at billionaire scale) is slowing down?
> What the fuck are you talking about?

Cryptocurrencies and the relative irrelevance of the energy consumption associated with them.

> just for currency?

Not just any currency, one that guarantees privacy and anonymity.

> You think using the worlds energy to generate random numbers is a form of freedom?

I don't see anyone complaining about the energy that gets poured into processors every single day to make them generate random numbers that are then used as secret keys in cryptography just so that users can securely shitpost on social media. All those advertisers are making a killing so all this activity must be moral, right?
So are you saying that overlapped characters can be used for both numbers?

Meaning:

- eightwothree -> 823 (answer 83)

- 4nineeightseven2 -> 49872 (answer 42)

- zoneight234 -> z18234 (answer 14)

I interpreted the instructions as saying to take the first match from the left and not count the overlaps.

Unfortunately this gives the same answer as the overlap interpretation on the examples given in the problem statement: all the overlaps occurred in the middle where they didn't matter.

If they had shown

oneight -> answer: 18

then I would have understood the spec.

If NATO has no interest in Ukraine joining, then they could just have said no and avoided the entire mess.
oh crazy. Do you have a really high title or something? Or are you just an L5 making 4x what others in the same title have?
Just last month I reserved on Booking.com, arrived at the hotel and to my surprise they said "we already charged you with the card you have on Booking".

Charge came from Panama (the country) and the hotel isn't anywhere near.

No physical card or further verification.
While I personally detest wars, the reality of them is it’s not about being cost effective. It’s about winning.

If it’s within an organization’s means to spend $100k (within means being the key part) to be able to destroy 500 dollar drones in a way that increases the ability to win compared to not having it, then purely from the war perspective, it makes sense.

Of course, the entire concept of war is laden with waste and destruction, so it’s almost never in alignment with the economically and environmentally optimized choice.

The largest militaries have access to such an insane amount of money that almost anything that wins better will be purchased, despite the monetary return not justifying the monetary cost.

In life and death situations, a soldier backed by that money isn’t going to care how much money they wasted. Just that they remain alive and the enemy loses.
Can you explain to me what you mean?

To me, you do your job because that's why you get paid. And for non-managerial roles you work with others not because you want to but because you need to in order to reach assigned objectives.

If you request someone to QA your code as a dev for example, the question of the QA guy knowing you in person, liking you and then knowing he can extort favors later on should never be even a consideration. What I was saying was for some people it is a significant consideration and they can't do any of that remotely. They are people persons and extroverts, their mindset does not allow them to do work without considering the social cost benefit analysis to be done in person. These are the people that demand you turn on cameras during a zoom call.

I mean, it is what it is, not even a problem so long as managers can manage those people as well as everybody else. But it is exactly those people that end up being managers.

It's like trying to explain antarctica to someone in the sahara. You do your job and do it well with no upside other than your paycheck - a lot of people do that and they can be very productive remotely because their objective of getting paid is being met. But when their performance review suffers from their nose not being brown enough they will fall in line and focus on that and inefficiently try to brown nose remotely and then hybrid and still fail and then execs think the reason for lower productivity is WFH not their managerial incompetence for both types of people when they WFH.

There are plenty of succesful remote-first companies. If you suffer from productivity loss it is because your managers and hr are failing at their jobs. Not your employees.
Ah, Kino looks awesome, that's exactly the kind of automation I set up in my own repo. I slightly prefer my own way because it lets me do the dev locally, but that is still a totally sweet setup!
With sufficient technology it is hard to tell the two apart.
Drupal 8+ is an improvement over 7/6, especially for developers. It's more aligned with Symfony, which makes it much easier to write maintainable modules. You can also use it as a headless CMS if you have your own frontend (eg: mobile apps)

For editors, you have a slightly better default UX (Claro/Olivero), views builder, workflows, etc.
Why obviously? There's a collection of discussed filters here: https://www.northlight-images.co.uk/using-effects-lens-filte...

Some colour filters are more than just colour correction.

At least one of those results in intentional spatial transformation. Is that allowed?
You can use the unstructured chunkers and still use this to enhance the quality of the actual chunk. The chunkers from unstructured help you take a more informed approach for a specific type of data but they don't help you more accurate results for your use case.

That’s what they appear to be doing, but they’re only about halfway there so far. It’s still just in beta, not even version 0.4 yet.
"We need access to your microphone and camera to record your voice and translate it with your expressions."

None of the videos shows any modified/lip-synced footage. There doesn't seem to be a reason for this thing to need access to my camera.

Also, using it with tape over the camera doesn't seem to work either. (Perhaps it needs to see facial expressions in order to work?)
Absolutely - this is one of the things I like so much about doing them with Elixir. Between the built in testing framework and the REPL it's so easy to work through the problems iteratively.

I wish Elixir's REPL / editor integration was half as awesome as SLIME / Emacs, but it's still leaps and bounds beyond what you get in most non-functional langs.
Mostly obfuscate and lie.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Replication_crisis

It’s bad. It’s so bad we’re at the “coin flip is about as reliable” stage of science. In some soft sciences almost 75% of studies cannot be replicated. AKA are false.

We can’t tell if salt raises blood pressure in humans but there are legions of people here that will state with all the conviction of a Jesuit priest that climate models can predict climate 100 years into the future - all without evidence, or replication, or open data, or falsification, and if you don’t agree with the consensus you will never be published. Literally censoring contrary views. That’s some serious “just shut up and believe me!”.

The certainty that I see based on very uncertain experiments is seriously suspect. I can only hope the structure of scientific revolutions puts this down in the next generation, this one seems hopelessly lost.

But yeah, that’s “science”. And if you don’t believe that just wait for the non scientific personal attacks that are replies to this comment.

I mean, I answered. What are you wanting to know, exactly? What are you getting at?

And bluntly, a discussion is a discussion, meaning I can make an argument. If you disagree, then you can make a counter argument instead of arguing meta principles.

So are you claiming that U.S. media is not controlled by a small amount of corporations and thus their executives, and that these companies aren't taking on foreign investment and thus looking to appease said foreign investors? What does it matter what the corporation names are in the context of the comment I replied to?
> What this refers to is added toxicity mitigation.

Oh, well that clears it up! </snark>

I don't see any definition of 'toxicity' on the landing page - it seems to be one of those 'I know it when I (hear) it' kind of words... unless there's some widely-accepted definition in this area of study?
You kind of started off by saying that Google trends data only represents web servers which is entirely incorrect and has no relationship with how Google trends works or what that chart represents.

So I don’t really know how else to respond to this… it also relies on a secret magic number that nobody can see that shows the real truth so it’s kind of a silly argument.

If windows server usage is growing surely there must be a lot of compelling evidence to back it up?
Detecting a cars arrival at an intersection has been a solved engineering problem for many decades (pressure plates 60+ years ago, induction loops today). It’s a much harder problem for a 150lb pedestrian with a small footprint who isn’t magnetic. The other challenge with induction loops is for cyclists on higher end bikes with carbon frames/rims.

Qualcomm's CDMA patents predated the standards setting process, so was a special case of Qualcomm having the undisputed ownership of a technology that was used in a subset of carriers in the US, for example, Verizon.

However, now that all the carriers have moved to 4G and 5G, which are open standards, Qualcomm can no longer use patents to stop others from competing on a level playing field.

Now they compete on the merits, and companies like Samsung, MediaTek and Huawei are all shipping their own standards compliant modems.

I would expect to see Apple iterate on the tech until they have something they think is good enough to ship.
Plenty corporates had IE only/first policy. This meant everything intranet had to work on IE. A website developed for chrome was allowed to request chrome frame, but it had to undo itself for any external links when linking to other intranet sites (plenty active-x / silverlight).

I wish there was an option to specify per website domain which browser to use.
> It got me thinking of can someone mass produce simple pipes pre-filled with electrical wiring and outlets that don't require sophisticated knowledge to install/connect to solar?

This already exists, Reloc is one of the companies that makes pre-manufactured electrical cables and pre-wired electrical devices with simple plug together connectors.

‘Prefilled conduit with wire’ on its own has existed for a long time, MC cable is used in commercial electrical wiring, I think there’s also a residential variant of armored cable (BX?). There’s also SO cord, which is a bundle of conductors with a non-metallic jacket around it.

As everyone knows, jungle warfare is SE Asia was a cluster-fuck. War in Amazonia is going to be 10x worse.
So much awful. Bad font rendering. Icons look pixelated. White semi-transparent things look weird. Active and inactive windows look too similar. Instead of just coloring in the window buttons greying the text there should be some more obvious visual change to the actual header. Curve in top of window is pixelate. Very rounded top and share hard rectangle is jarring. Dock is perfectly rectangular with no border. Icons are bad.

On the interface side the global menu is not only a mediocre UI when universally implemented its unlikely to be properly implemented in countless apps making impossible to make consistent.
Perhaps for some puzzles, but I find this solution to be pretty elegant!

I'm over 40, but only spent about a year of my career in an office. I haven't seen an office since 2001. I don't feel I missed much in the subsequent years. I still stay in touch with people I worked with remotely. I never spoke to anyone in said office again. Your stated opportunity seems rather romanticized from my perspective. Relationships can form anywhere.

You don't have to go too far back in time to when work from home was also the norm (when everyone stayed at home on the farm). The office age was the aberration.
Right, but pairs of particles aren't relevant. The effect occurs for any particle that interacts electromagnetically. And the magnetic field is the curl of its potential.
Legal minefield and more, imo.

It's a neat idea, but the world isn't the pollyanna paradise required for this to work.
I thought Drupal 6 and 7 were great, but this was about 5-10 years ago. Haven't looked at it since then. It was the first CMS I worked with professionally, so I may be biased, but once I "got it", it became quick to add features (not "Features", which wasn't very fun). This was before everything went headless and javascript :)
It's like a manufactured claim in Europa Universalis
Have you worked in startups though? Organizations of 1-20 people where the whole company doesn't know who its customers are, why they would buy the product, or how to make money?

In my experience it's basically impossible to "plan, execute, and communicate effectively" in these environments, because if people knew what the plan was or how to execute it, someone would already have done it.

The company relies on quick and efficient feedback between employees, leadership, and potential customers. That's the part that's much harder with remote work. In a startup, if you tell an engineer to do something and it turns out it's impossible, you will see him grimace and cuss you out in person, and you can adjust the plan accordingly. With remote work, you don't get that body-language feedback, and he'll probably say yes while looking for other jobs and posting about how incompetent his manager is on Hacker News.

This exactly. I still look to w3school over mdn if I can. The information is just friendlier. I'll use "proper" documentation if needed and never post anything to SO for the reasons you state.
I can't remember the last project where I haven't used Craft CMS. Twig templating, no opinion on the data structure and easy to extend.
Other than reader mode, you can try disabling javascript. Lynx will get you plain text, but usability will vary from site to site.

If you truly want a screenshot, you can write a program to spin up a headless browser / selenium, load the page, and save the result somewhere. People do this all the time as part of UI and integration tests and tooling is decent enough.
You're forgetting the additional eye-poke joys of minor plugin updates causing WSODs, how slow it is without caching, how painful styling certain things can be, how difficult the DB schema is to wrangle with regards to making _any_ changes and dozens of others that are worth forgetting because of various PTSD.

It _is_ flexible for people wanting to be able to create types/taxonomies within the GUI, if you ignore the chaos behind the scenes. It also has good support for returning said content via JSON if you choose to do so, but if you're doing that, just define your own back-end and avoid the suffering.
Totally agree. I was that age "a few years" ago, and I'm not playing working-hours-one-up-manship, but I was leaving the house at 4.45am, and getting home 7.30-8pm (London).

That was probably the low point in my, and others, working life that coincides with the age for raising a young family. It sucks.

What, in your opinion, would be an advantage of Drupal over a headless CMS?
Seems counter productive to me.

The first snippet is much easier to read, and using this technique to get around your 100 line rules seems to be missing the point of the rule - or purposely subverting it.
I have yet to buy a car without one, but I suppose that'll be changing soon enough.
What would be the point of that exercise though? It's true they might produce something faster, but if those sources are meant to be an educational resource then they'll learn more reading through actual documentation than copy-pasting questionable code to get something done.

I used BurntSushi's excelent aho-corasick, which unsurprisingly implements the Aho–Corasick algorithm (overkill I know). It did take me a while to realize though that there are overlaps which meant that my code worked on the example input but not on the real input (fortunately the library has you covered in both cases). I have the code on my GitHub but solve it yourself first, it's fun.

Well yes, thr Turing has to be defined exactly. That is not mvoing the goalposts because I never considered the Turing test to be a quick 10 minute chat.

I am sure that Turing in his original publication soecific the conditions manner under which a Turing test should be performed. That was over half a century ago though. What are we more interested in, when talking about the concept of a Turing test, the exact version that Turing described, basically v0, or a test which captures that concept that AGI can be tested via an exchange of language? I think the latter is the much more useful and fundamental concept: The hypothesis that AGI can be tested purely via language has not been disproven for Turing tests of sufficiently large compelxity/length. Hence I find it most useful to think of the Turing test of a family of tests that have in common that they are a purely language based conversation but that may be held on different time, complexity or adversiality scales.

Why would I interpret the definition like this instead of sticking to the original paper? Because the article here makes the fallacy that the v0 Turing test not detecting AGI implies that the "AGI can be tested bia language" is in question. This is just not true.

Last year, I used ChatGPT on one of the first puzzles, and ended up writing a blog post about it, where I sort of do commentary on the conversation.

It's funny to read this a year later, and filter it through my experiences with ChatGPT over the last year. Some of it still rings true, some of it would probably be much improved with GPT-4. But the places where the LLM fell down in my examples are still the same kinds of issues you get using GPT as an assistant today.
