> I have heard people saying that without tips we would get crappy service.

I don't think the math supports this either.

If you can do a 50% as good job and work two tables; even if tips decrease by 50% it's technically good for business as 2 meals were served with one employee. Obviously if people are debating between 10% for poor service and 15% for great service then the employee comes out ahead as well.

Tipping originally existed because it was a way for black americans to work without being paid a wage.
I've created Codebraid (https://codebraid.org/) for writing in Markdown. It makes inline code and code blocks executable, and includes support for Jupyter kernels. It uses Pandoc internally to parse the Markdown. There's also a VS Code extension that provides a live preview with scroll sync.

For the LaTeX case, I created PythonTeX (https://github.com/gpoore/pythontex) years ago, but haven't done much with it recently.
In my country I am bombarded with tip requests on Uber and Bolt apps.

Treating symptoms and not the underlying issue often works out well, especially for societal issues.
Two bonuses to this are the check round trip time is less and the server doesn’t have private access to your card to clone it.

Reminds me of the unlimited write-only cloud storage service (an April fools joke, maybe?) from a few years ago.

Weirdly, I don't find it as bad as it was a few years ago. There was a time when my FB and other social media feeds were full of clear disinformation. Now, I mostly just see political discussions with the usual slants. But that never really changed.

The exception might be TikTok and the reposts of TikTok on Instagram, but I have nearly zero engagement there.
> If I have a simplistic knock sequence and they sniff it, they can replay it and get access to my https.

Somewhat related, I've never set up port knocking but I've been wondering how hard it would be to set up TOTP-flavored port knocking. The basic idea would be to select the pattern of "knocks" the same way TOTP generates a code, I'm not sure how much it would improve things though.
If you ever lose the bottom home bar it just means you're in a full-screen view where they want to prevent accidentally swiping to go home, like a full-screen video or a game. In those cases you just have to swipe up once to re-enable the home bar, and then again to actually go to the home screen.
This is complicated by the fact that every other refugee situation is handled by an organization that is explicitly rehoming them. At the absolute least, their children will be citizens of the nations they have been moved to. This is in stark contrast to the situation we are talking about, where people can literally be adopted into the refugee status.

Edit: I would also be surprised if Russia does let previous citizens back in to claim any property they had. Do we have reason to think they will?
Nice idea, but how would that work had the stock gone down?

> The 'victim' here clearly knows they are taking advantage of a situation

The victim is "taking advantage" of an advertised feature of the service they paid for, and has done nothing wrong. The fault lies entirely with Google for advertising unlimited storage, knowing full well that no such thing exists. Same with every other cloud storage service that once advertised unlimited storage. Just because someone who understands how computer storage works could probably figure out that it wasn't really unlimited doesn't make it not false advertising.

I think Tailwind is phenomenal for implementing a design system on the engineering side, but it can't inherently solve many of the other reasons a design system exists: capturing and defining the patterns a specific product uses, creating consistency across the product, accelerating the design team and engineering team...
Aaa thank you so much!

Right now it only supports the OpenAI TTS set via the Python ospeak library, but I expect that if one were to modify the endpoints in that, it would be in theory doable! :D
Are you seriously asking this question or are you completely disconnected from the dictionary? What does "unlimited" mean? No limits. If you don't intend for a customer to make use of unlimited storage, with no limits, then use the proper English word.

Also, this was a paid subscription.

But that's precisely the goal. The funding / revenue comes from the buzzword. "Doing AI" is peacock feathers.

Saw a news segment yesterday about some "AI augmented" "smart" garment ... some textile that can change colour on demand... and uses "AI" to decide that colour. What that has to do with "AI", I have no idea. But the AI piece (plus "sustainable") was the highlight of the piece.

Point being, it's the buzzword needed in this decade in order to raise attention and funding.

Doesn't mean there's no fire behind the smoke -- intelligent systems ... is how capitalism automate humans out of mechanized processes in order to lower labour costs. There's huge profit in that. At least in the short / medium term.

For 5k you could build a box to store that kind of data.

Picking and processing crops is hard work, but the people doing it are not particularly poor by global standards. Drive past the strawberry fields around Watsonville and look at the cars that the workers have parked along the road.

A number of companies are working on berry picking robots. This is a hard engineering problem due to the fragility of the fruit. They have prototypes working reasonably well and someone will probably have a viable commercial product within a decade.

That was due to my own whining and impatience. Going through the normal support channels tends to be pretty solid through.

I will say though that companies which take support seriously do monitor all sorts of channels as well.
From the article:

And to me this extremely weird. At least in restaurant or hotel or whatever. I have gotten the service when I decide to tip or not.

But setting tip before delivery? What if they failed to pack fragile item properly? I could understand asking it for later, but before I have seen result of the work is pure insanity...
> ... means LLMs do encode concepts of human cognition

AND

> ... do encode structural elements of our language and hence thought

Quite true. I think the trivial "proof" that what you are saying is correct is that a significantly smaller model can generate sentence after sentence of fully grammatical but nonsense sentences. Therefore the additional information encoded into the network must be knowledge and not syntax (word order).

Similarly, when there is too much quantization applied, the result does start to resemble a grammatical sentence generator and is less mistakable for intelligence.

I make the argument about LLMs being a time series predictor because they happen to be a predictor that does something that is a bit magical from the perspective of humans.

In the same way that pesticides convincingly mimic the chemical signals used by the creatures to make decisions, LLMs convincingly produce output that feels to humans like intelligence and reasoning.

Future LLMs will be able to convincingly create the impression of love, loyalty, and many other emotions.

Humans too know how to feign reasoning and emotion and to detect bad reasoning, false loyalty, etc.

Last night I baked a batch of gingerbread cookies with a recipe suggested by GPT-4. The other day I asked GPT-4 to write a dozen more unit tests for a code library I am working on.

> just about every sentence ever written across a wide swath of languages

I view LLMs as a new way that humans can access/harness the information of or civilization. It is a tremendously exciting time to be alive to witness and interact with human knowledge in this way.
There aren't really all that many common unknown binary formats, in terms of GBs in people's drives.

Mostly it's photos, pdfs, word documents, executables, videos, etc.

Aside from that there are mathematical tools you can use to detect whether a binary blob is compressed/encrypted or not, like entropy calculation.
> Being able to reduce land area used by farming would be a major win for humanity.

We do know already how do do that though and the answer is to reduce meat usage which is by far what's taking the majority of the agricultural land use. The crop production is as almost as efficient as it can get after multiple agricultural revolutions.

It's a social problem, not a technical one.

Because it’s a legally mandated thing. You know, because Tesla lies about bugs, features, and safety issues all the time.
Pretending that every person in the world can work whatever job they want is worse than sugar coating reality. It borders on malicious deception to me.

Sure, I'm all for taking your fate in your own hands. But most people in the world work because they have to make a living, and can't freely choose their job.

If they even have the luxury of a formal job with a minimum of workers rights, that enables them to maintain themselves and e.g. have health insurance.
> But it leaves me with a negative impression of the site when I see it.

That would be why not.

Honestly, it's not just websites. Literally any time I'm overtly asked for a tip, I'm left with a negative impression of the establishment.
Stories like these have led me to come to the conclusion that Google has literally become downright evil. Our company does basically everything in the Google cloud and if Google decides to shut us down, we're gone. Our reliance is, imho, an existential threat.

I have brought this up with management several times and they are not concerned... after all, we pay Google a lot of money every month and we're doing nothing wrong. Yeah, tell that to those dumb algorithms, and when (not if) they misfire, try to get to talk to an actual human being with any influence and willing to help in a thoroughly evil company?

This video data isn't even his to have any right to keep. He took it from another company's insecure website. Even if Google kept it for him, the government could and probably should make them delete it.

As for the parts of it that really are his, he'll probably get that back from the FBI when they eventually return his equipment so I don't think his life's work is lost.
It can be over the air but calling it a recall also brings notification requirements and means that if you bring it in to the service department they’ll do it for you, too.
Systems designed for the US have made their way to Germany, and we're seeing more and more of this in a society where tip was very much optional. Many of my friends said that they refuse to tip with those machines out of principle.
> The mere existence of a design system warping the design process and the value of design as a discipline.

Despite having a lot of experience making them and using them, and despite them being a keyword a lot of companies ask for in job postings, I took any mention of "design systems" out of my resume because I would prefer to work for a company that didn't index on designers who rely on design systems. I've just seen them used as bludgeons too often, i.e. "why would we implement this design when it doesn't match our design system?" well, because it's the right way to do it in this new case we've never seen before. I think design systems and component libraries become a way to reuse existing work instead of rethink and rework, which is convenient but often antithetical to doing the right thing in a changing environment. I understand that product teams have to move quickly. I'm here to do work I'm proud of, which sometimes brings me into tension with the organization's desire to save time and labor, which is to say money. Design systems—not the theoretical idea of them, but the way they are applied in the real world—are becoming a symbol of that for me.
It's also worth noting there is no singular credit score in the US. There are (at least) 3 agencies that generate credit reports. The "score" is usually the FICO score, but there are versions of FICO Score, and other scores.

In France, how doe a lender know if you have other loans/debt outstanding? Or if you have a history of non-payment? Those two make up the majority of a credit score (35% payment history, 30% debt burden). And the credit score is just one piece of an overall credit report.
That's a pretty sweet channel for storm lovers.

> Tesla has a long history of being dishonest about Autopilot capabilities and dangers, and it's killed several people so far. The NHTSA is forcing them to make some tweaks.

From the article:

> > The update will add new, more prominent visual alerts and checks for the Autosteer function, which is part of Autopilot. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said there may be “increased risk of a crash” when Autosteer is engaged and drivers do not “maintain responsibility for vehicle operation.”

I don't buy this. Tesla's driver monitoring during autosteer is among the most annoying in the industry, and it has even more protections than other systems (like how BlueCruise used to [maybe still does] allow you to take off your seatbelt without deactivating).
As an observer:

Elon is a cringey based edgelord, accelerated the decline of their favorite platform (Twitter), re-platforms and signal boosts people/grifters with dangerous ideas, and all of that outweighs, in their estimation, whatever good will he earned with Tesla/SpaceX in the prior decade.

Oh, he’s also a generationally wealthy South African.
They’re on one side of the culture war, he’s (newly?) on the other.

There seems to be two pretty consistent personality profiles in tech.

If you got your start in a way that that leads to internalizing a love of highly customized tech you probably like desktops.

Especially if you already gravitate towards spatial/tactile thinking and do well with multiple monitors and mechanical keyboards and things like that, you tend to be aware of your body while using computers, you naturally process multiple things at once, Seeing things and thinking of their inner workings, coding while also noticing your hands physically on the keyboard, etc, being bothered by unnecessary complexity even if well hidden, having lots of ideas at once, etc,

And then doubly so if you're passionate about highly abstract things like algorithms and math just for their own sake, rather than getting into this stuff via some other field that happens to use coding.

If you have a very active mind you probably also have lots of ideas for things that could actually use more performance, plus you probably have more tolerance for having lots of stuff going on at once, so having lots of different personal projects you split your time between is a natural fit, even if some need bug fixes and maintenance occasionally.

In that case you probably have a lot of really great memories centered around your computer more than the office or field work, even more motivate to customize.

I think the psychology is really interesting, especially because so many articles don't seem to notice the very obvious different personalities and kind of act like all developers are exactly the same.

For people with the opposite profile.... our (possibly unhealthy escapist) comfort zone is more or less in the cloud and in mega sized software that Just Works and syncs everywhere, and part of what makes it a (most likely unhealthy) comfort zone is the lack of embodied experience, and the predictability of off the shelf, unmodified tech.
No, they're paid in diluted stock, which does not impact the balance sheet.

"Take the ball and go home" in this case would be cancel the order and leave. Stiffing the staff is... another thing.
Oh actually proving something as not true you know is likely not true is one of the easiest ways to get a well referenced paper published, and it doesn’t require expensive phased trials because it’s not true and is easily proven. There’s no need to do elaborate safety studies since it’s ineffective, you just need a fairly simply study that most medical professors can fund out of their discretionary research time and pads their paper counts. Journals are replete with “alternative medicine X does nothing” proof studies as a result.

The real challenge is taking something that does work, but isn’t economically worth while, through the phased trial process. However even those studies regularly get published - “X appears to be effective deserves further research,” which is probably the sadder side of medical research as that’s code for “never going to be researched.”

> Google response isn't correct but everyone here has there hands a bit dirty. Storing 237 Tb on an unlimited server - the individual clearly knew they were taking advantage of a system and probably should have been ready for some kind of remedy.

Google clearly made a mistake in offering an "unlimited plan" so it makes perfect sense that they're going to discontinue it, and offer 60 days before the data becomes read only. If it was just that, there wouldn't be any article.

The fact that they regret offering an unlimited plan doesn't, however, give them the right to tell him that they're going to give him 60 days before the data becomes read only but it won't be deleted and then suddenly tell him that actually his data is going to be deleted in 7 days, which isn't sufficient time to transfer it elsewhere.
Yep. It's an inevitable choice, but I find that in the context of design systems, we don't usually end up making that choice intentionally, and instead default to over-optimizing up front without consideration of other approaches.
I think you're mixing design system with css frameworks.
