Having a miniature "pastor" that can answer all your questions about a religion that's not really welcomed in your area, on a device that's easy to hide, would be big for the persecuted in a few decades.
I keep seeing these takes and I still think OthelloGPT disproves them.

So far it really looks like a sufficiently large LLM with a sufficiently large / high-quality dataset can learn basically anything (given a slightly generous interpretation of the word "sufficiently").

In case of code completion, I think just training on program output in addition to source code would already unlock huge capability boosts.
Just because it's the least bad doesn't mean anyone won.
Thank you both for the replies!

Why would there be a sudden reduced cooling potential of water sources for the nuclear plants? I have never heard of such a thing anywhere.
The pilot on my flight to Vegas said the cost to advertise (or do whatever, I assume) was $470,000/minute. I didn't verify the claim but it isn't too hard to believe and is pretty crazy, even if it's remotely true.
C++ operator overloading gets banned because C++ programmers invariably abuse it and cause problems, even the standards committee can't help themselves, which is how I/O Streams are a standard library feature.

C++ also allows you to overload short-circuiting operators, but of course your overload can't short-circuit so you just silently destroyed an important feature. Why ?

As others have pointed out, several languages have been able to provide this feature without causing half the mess and disappointment. Ten years ago if you said move assignment semantics are a bad idea you might persuade people because the C++ move semantics are messy, but hey, turns out a fresh language is able to just provide the destructive move developers actually wanted (but couldn't pull off for C++) and that's really nice.

The repetitive messages happen when you edit a message in matrix. It resends the whole thing because irc doesn't support that feature.
Could We Boost Housing Construction by Permitting ADUs Under the HUD Code?
No, we'll just wait for it to get better... all of those critiques are solvable by future iterations of AI tooling, at least for generic blogpost headers, where the alternative is usually some other generic stock photo or nothing at all. Rarely is human ever involved in creating it new.
We have a Hyundai (Kia’s sibling). It’s hands down the best car we’ve ever owned. Absolutely no issues 4 years in.
my 2001 honda accord stared getting on (took a few too many hits) - i installed a very good after market system in it - with hefty subs/amps.

the replacement 2013 accord euro...absolutely impractical to do the same DIY...the dash computer integrated console with A/C controls is a nightmare to replace with fascia which has space for double DIN...

i wonder if i should downgrade again to a classic Honda integra, or pre-smart Civic...
> Matrix is fully open [0] and fully spec'd by the MSCs [1], and stewarded by the Matrix Foundation [2].

Technically correct, but in practice the spec is complex enough that there are only 2 more or less working server implementations, both of them developed by the same org. I tried to implement it myself, but in comparison to IRC and XMPP it's just too complex. That's what "effectively" means.

> There are several independent client [3] and server [4] implementations.

Only one non-Element server is there is "Production ready", and it's dead. The website is down and the last commit is from 2021. There were many spec changes since then, including the infamous "sliding window sync", which is necessary for the next gen clients.

> It does not use a blockchain (there is no proof-of-anything). You might be confusing blockchains with Merkle Trees, but in that case you'd also have to think git is a blockchain.

They probably mean the DAG-like structure of rooms, which is a horror to implement, and even more horrifying to implement efficiently. It's a blockchain of sorts, with room events being linked to parent events.

> there is no proof-of-anything

It does not need to be "proof-of-anything" to be a blockchain, that's not why there are words "block" and "chain" are there. There is a consensus protocol between home servers, and it fails terribly, leading to room resets.
Electronic stuff is still reparable. Probably even more cheaply, in some regards (certainly material cost). We've just been made to become accustomed to viewing electronic devices as disposable/primarily replaceable. And while most people have turned a wrench before, knowing how to use a soldering iron/heat gun/magnifier effectively is not a common skill. Could be, though.
This is really good. "Number of breakdowns per 1,000 registered vehicles per first registration year:"

Funny how the order is almost the opposite of the rather opaque consumerreports one. While looking at actual breakdowns is more telling of major issues, looking at only the first year isn't going to reveal much beyond glaring manufacturing defects. I'd be interested in more long term issues (although understandably this would be more of a past performance based on previous models metric). Although long term all cars reliability (especially ICE) is an AND operation with maintenance and care, but with a large enough sample size there's a hope this noise should average out.. ignoring the annoying issue of buyer bias.

The article also points out the vast majority of breakdowns are from dead batteries - Whether that's user error or parasitical leaks, or bad batteries is not clear, but sticking in a bigger battery with high cold cranking amps is a very cheap fix for that. Parasitical leaks are more of a pain to solve, especially since fitting a kill switch tends to make the computers in modern cars very upset.
With no response being better or worse than others it seems to allow it to output random responses and responses that would be unlikely become as likely as any other response.
I looked into this "small arms fire" you mentioned. You're right that it wasn't out of nowhere, but the actual story seems to be somewhat more nuanced than your very carefully worded depiction suggests:

> All 290 on-board including 16 crew perished. At the time of the incident, Vincennes was inside Iranian territorial waters and engaged in small arms combat with several Iranian surface craft

Did you miss that bit?

I mean in that context, with the guy stumbling into Iranian waters and shooting at some of their boats it makes more sense that he'd be worried about an attack. But that just makes the situation even stupider and more avoidable in my opinion.
If only my M1 Max's speakers didn't randomly crackle whenever AU plug-ins consumed even as little as 20% of the CPU. Thanks core audio! It's a bizarre state when I'm forced to swap to my Windows 10 and MOTU with ASIO to make music without becoming absolutely infuriated.
iOS is supported even better than Android. You can experimentally build applications with NativeAOT for it and there's even native Swift interop[0] bypassing ObjC in the works (the motivation behind it is somewhat elusive to me but hey!)

What is the most reliable isnt really the right question. Reliability vs cost is the correct question. I.e
In my case the kia carnival was 12k cheaper than the sienna or the odyssey so going with tenth place vs second place was a no brainer for me, especially when i am not limely to need that extra repair money for 5 to ten years and can invest it so it is really more like 15 to 19k by the time i need it if invested at 5% return.
Looks like the numbers I was looking at were for the high-power configuration, and differed a little between sources, nontheless the low-power configuration, which has a significantly lower TDP (23W) than the M3 Pro (~30W), while having the same core count, is still very close to M3 Pro performance even if M3 Pro is a bit higher.

This is, indeed, also a weakness of those tools.
> I doubt a 6 years old lexus rx350 is less safe than 2023 Toyota Yaris for example.

Ok, but those two vehicles are significantly different sizes regardless of year, are they not? And that’s usually very relevant where safety is concerned.
No, that’s not it. These people are used to go to the US and Europe and it’s not the same reaction.

It is a mix of development, very different culture (Brazil has a lot of European and US cultural influence), but also safety, institutional efficiency, traditions. Idk, there is a lot of different aspects and things.
The sphere consumes so much solar energy that the sun dims a little when the sphere is switched on.
Chickens will eat insects voraciously if given the opportunity. They are programmed to wander around all day stabbing their beaks at anything that moves or looks like it might be able to move.
I'm more trying to point out that traveling safety is always viewed as being about the traveller, not the people around them. So of course drivers love safer (for them) cars, while caring less that such safety comes at the expense of pedestrians.
"I'd like to hurt people worse if I hit them with my car" is a strange and brutal take.
The linked article is pretty explicit about how they calculate it. A detailed explanation is literally the first section.

And as they explain, they ask people about the actual problems they've had in the last 12 months with their car; nothing soft or fuzzy or relative to expectations at all.
Yes... a lot of people (Americans I guess since I'm American and that's where my anecdotal evidence comes from) think the Japanese are very efficient. They might be in somethings, but their true love is perfection. They love doing things right. Big things, little things... it's a country-wide obsession.
Created Free Kids App "Discover Animal Sounds"
I made a new kids app. Completely Free.

I wrote all the descriptions myself to be as kids friendly as possible.

There are 45 animals, 130+ animal sounds, and 45 audio descriptions.

It's that too many people routinely present themself as an authority on whatever is currently in large scale discussion.

One pragmatic solution to this is to use an email relay service to handle the outbound mail. Now, the hair-shirt self hoster's response to this idea might be, "But that means trusting a third party!" And indeed it does. But as the parent comment points out, in the vast general case we're committed to trusting whichever third parties our correspondent uses (or finding alternive means of communication.)
You think the government is going to create an ai military to kill millions of civilians without being overthrown by the other hundreds of millions of armed civilians in this country?
I think it “makes sense” already. The previous generations of Pro were too tempting and Apple probably feels that hobbling them will push people to spend more on Max chips. I also bet the new Pro chips are less costly (node issues aside) since they have many fewer P cores. It’s just sad that the new M3 Pro is a sidegrade at best. I’m hoping M4 shows an actual performance increase for Pro chips now that they’re (hopefully) done cutting the P cores.
> Have you ever attempted to write a scripting language that performs better?

Way to miss the mark. The point is precisely that Python is slow and one of the causes is that it is a scripting language. Stomping your foot and essentially: "You couldn't do any better" helps no one and is counterproductive.
The cars are the problem, not the solution.
What is a shader?
Totally agree, I want to know what or of warranty cost of ownership is.

Especially since most auto manufacturers only design for say ~10 year reliability. Sure we could make a a part that would last forever, but it’d be heavy (bad for fuel economy) and expensive, so let’s make the lightest and cheapest part that will last about x years (we still want all that spare part revenue too!)
Also check out the shaders at

But beware there's often idiot children posting NSFW shaders there, the mods don't monitor it very closely.

Discord is a datamining tracking commercial service. It's just not fair to ask FOSS users to join it IMO.
I feel you on the point about missteps. It boggles my mind that negligible things like 'not quite enough detail in an answer' is enough to offset my years of highly relevant experience, obvious enthusiasm, and solid CV and get me rejected out of the process.

I would love to meet the candidates that beat me to these roles. I tell myself they are simply me, but more polished and more FAANG. So I never stood a chance.
I run around 15 Nextcloud instances. One is for 1500 odd people for whom safety is quite important - it delivers lots of docs to a lot of devices. Those users are moving pretty fast and rove in and out of some form of ethernet service with a lot of irregularity.

My home service has to deal with some huge users (wife, phone, camera) (dad, constant saving, vast numbers of docs).

Work instance - all of the above!

I very rarely deal with the web UI but when I do it simply works or when I look into /pictures etc: locks up but that is generally the browser giving up and not the app.

I migrated a post office with several domains from RC to Snappy Mail. RC seemed to have stalled a few years back. SM is rather nifty so I'll stick.

> The same people who 'seized control of religion because they believed they knew how to manage other peoples lives better' are now doing it in the new power structure.

Religion was always about managing other people's lives and making sure some of them endure the teaching to propagate the dogma.

It's not a new power structure. It has split directly from it, and it's been there for centuries.
Nah, I've seen these optimized breeds wader around, they will scratch and peck their outdoor enclosures nearly bare looking for bugs to eat. They are still chickens at the end of the day, as long as they are healthy enough to move around.

It's kind of like thinking modern breeds of cow would lose the ability to eat grass or pigs to forage. That stuff is hard-wired pretty deep because it is at the very core of survival.
Relevant xkcd: https://xkcd.com/871/
Interestingly the article actually calls out the 4Runner as "among the most reliable models in the survey". Apparently the newer model years are still pretty solid!
There are many reasons why wasting a grad student on this problem (rather than a tech) is bad. I say this with a lot of experience: I was that grad student and I was the guy automating the lab and the guy setting up the compute infrastructure.

I think core facilities are better candidate than individual professor labs.
I've had pretty good success with my Nissan, but it has some problems. Sunroof leaks are notoriously bad on Nissans. My Honda... no problems at 250K miles.
a system which gives feedback there's a problem intuitively seems
better than one which doesn't.

Except that your intuition isn't always correct. Airbus throttle levers don't move on their own, Boeing throttle levers (at least pre-FBW) were mechanically linked to the control system and would move in response to computer inputs. Sounds safer, right?

Look at the Sriwijaya Air 737 crash (among others). Even with the throttle levers showing wildly asymmetrical thrust, when the automation gave up the pilots didn't notice, didn't react properly, and crashed the plane.
If I may ask: do you have kids?

I used to have a lot of trouble when trying to not care about stuff. I didn't care about most stuff, but it used to be impossible to not care about stuff I was naturally interested in.

Now after almost three years raising a toddler I can see clearly when people are behaving like babies. And I'm used to handle a stressed baby who is not cooperating for God knows why. It happens quite frequently and I just play along. I got used to being there, offering support without any expectations (because he usually doesn't want any at that point), trying things out just to give him a chance to take the bait, etc. Now it just feels like life is finally making sense to me. I catch myself applying this to my relationship with my wife, to my work, etc. I feel like I would probably not make these realizations nor develop this mindset if it wasn't for my kid.
No, horses could not have banded together and fought back. Humans have almost never accepted a backslide in quality of living. All the examples I can think of are because of short lived war time austerity.
But the company's culture around quality likely hasn't changed much, so long-term reliability is a useful secondary metric for those who want to keep their new car for a long time.
Absolutely right. Sorry, that wasn't my intention. I misread the comment.
The brain also has around 100 trillion connections. In other words, the average fan-in/fan-out of a real neuron is on the order of 1000. No digital circuit can come close to this because there's not enough real estate on a 2D chip to route the connections (although chips are moving into 3D).

For now, that kind of fan-in/fan-out has to be simulated sequentially.

If 1 were true and remote employees were slacking there would be data to show that. If important work isn't being done there's going to be clear evidence of that happening. I suspect it's the second reason, plus power tripping.
> twitter been and will always be a space for controversial political opinions,

At a certain point, Twitter kicked out a bunch of the white supremacist types. He invited them back on and then boosted their messages on several occasions.

I bet if advertising was successful on the platform, a lot of advertisers would have very quietly resumed after things blew over, because most corporations care more about making money than making statements.

But I don't think he's helping and perhaps advertising wasn't working out that well there anyway.
The Meisner Technique
The transcriptions (created by people) are always going to be seen as derivative works, unfortunately. It doesn't matter how closely it matches the recorded performance. But the fact that text-based tabs remained online (at least more so than transcriptions, powertabs, etc.) is likely because of the lower fidelity.

It's not just that the transcription is a (transformed) reproduction of the original piece. The record companies have the (exclusive) right to (sell) the transcriptions, sheet music, etc. of music they hold the rights to. They have that right, regardless of if they are actively or ever going to actually publish any.

I would guess a fair use defence would be feasible in the right case, but I'm not sure if that was ever tested in court. Most of the operators of tab websites were just people, they didn't stand a chance. If I remember correctly, Ultimate Guitar was/is one of the few sites that was big enough to negotiate with the MPA.

A useful concept might be John Rawls‘ "comprehensive doctrine": a belief system that covers a wide range of values and ideas, providing a framework for understanding the world and guiding one’s behaviour.

Rawls did not just apply this definition to traditional religions but also to ideologies such as communism. I think it’s not hard to think of modern examples.

The point is that a liberal pluralistic society needs to learn to accommodate people with different worldviews. A key part of that is getting people to understand that their own worldview is subjective, and that other worldviews are possible and acceptable.

There is a massive market for short-hop flights. They're just difficult to do at a good price, at scale, with human pilots.

Autonomous short-hop air travel, especially when demand is periodic or occasional, ably complements or even beats rail and autonomous cars in many real-world scenarios.

> Sure, but Apple's phone chips started out with performance comparable to low-end laptop CPUs.

Hummingbird was a bit of a quantum leap for ARM in my opinion. That said, I think Apple was able to do better with what they had thanks to their level of control over things (most notably, the way iOS suspends apps) makes it far easier to have a smooth user experience with a little less muscle.

I haven't looked at the TDP on this, one would probably want to normalize the measurements.
