It's kind of shouting into the void but I always wanted to try to teach high school physics starting from energies rather than forces/velocities/other vectors... And the easiest places where people run into energies are light bulb wattages and nutrition facts, and the latter always seemed more interesting than the former, so the idea was “The Biophysics of Weight Loss” as a first physics course.

As an example of how this looks a bit different to a physicist, most people go to an online calculator to get their TDEE or RMR, some measure of how much energy per day passes out of their body. If you're a physicist, you can't help but measure this at two different weights, current and target. So that gives you a slope, a delta: kilocalories per day per kilogram of fat lost. Except there is also a rough measure of how many kilocalories to lose to lose a kg of fat, so in dimensional analysis terms, this is really just a time constant. I forget the exact amount but it works out to something like nine months or a year or so.

And then you realize that that's a half life. You choose a lifestyle, you start living as if your weight were W, then after a year you will get halfway there, after another year you'll get halfway closer, and so on, and so on.

But that's not how anybody thinks on a diet. They are thinking, I'm going to intervene, get my life under control, then I can return to the lifestyle I had before but without the weight. But what you are describing is a severe lifestyle shift, “I became a marathon runner and my friends are all marathon runners and that is our new lifestyle.” Polar opposite of intervention.

But it's also, there's a selection bias. If the actual cause is depression related, and marathoning worked because it gave a new sense of purpose and self, how would you notice? You spend all this time on caloric output, that's trying to treat it like a linear system. When the circuit has transistors and op amps, that's not how you analyze it.

Do you have any idea how much software there is in the world? What would you think it's just going to stop being produced and maintained tomorrow?

Do you have any idea what the societal costs of such a change would be?

Even if it was due to "AI", hundreds of thousands of AI augmented developers are going to be off launching new startups writing more and more software, hacking stuff, it's not just going to end tomorrow because there is value in software and software solutions.

The F35 is a massive network of independent computer systems, you seem to be using “computer power” rather abstractly. Some of the computing components are state-of-the-art and others are rather old, based on requirements. Who cares if a computing component is slow if it doesn’t need to be faster than it already is. Other parts of the F35 exceed the capabilities of anything you can buy off-the-shelf.

The need to upgrade many of these computing systems is bottlenecked by the ability to upgrade the sensor systems that would necessitate upgrading the computing systems.

Also, you are talking about “mega” and “giga” when many modern US systems are “peta”. With all due respect, you might be working from an obsolete understanding of these systems.
First, Israel has been carpet bombing Gaza for weeks on end. They have destroyed everything & bombed housing, schools, mosques, churches, universities, kids schools, restaurants, bakeries & every aspect of civilization there.

How many Palestinian journalists have been murdered or had their families targeted and extended family bombed by the IOF?

The IDF have targeted & murdered more journalists in 2 months than in any other conflict.

The IDF is the only military on the planet that has a military court for juveniles and imprisons them by the thousands. You can search this all out on YouTube & see footage of it. They were holding boys in open air cages in the winter. Their parents not even knowing which military prison their kids were in.

We see the US bombs falling 24/7 on all of Gaza. We see what is going on every single day.

We know the Israeli policy of “mowing the lawn” every few months.

We SEE it. You should own it and be revulsed by it, just as you should by the Israeli Apache gunships emptying their machine guns at Israelis at the concert or the tank rounds. Or shooting unarmed Israeli civilians hostages waving a white flag.

What policy is that called by the IDF again? Oh yeah, The Hannibal Directive. Only now they target their own.

My apologies to both you and grandparent, I faux-pass'd on using such sloppy jargon in a thread of general interest. If I can be useful in decoding some of that and helping to keep this topic accessible to the broader community I'd be happy to answer any questions about what I meant. I've cited a few useful resources elsewhere in the thread and am always eager to talk shop on topics like this, so fire away if you have any questions about the field or what the hell I was talking about :)
SerenityOS is an interesting beast. It was originally x86 only ( 32 bit ), was ported to x86-64, has already dropped support for 32 bit as “legacy”, is being ported to ARM and RISC-V, and it has never even really run on real hardware yet.
What a low quality article. Language is more just a set of features. Anyone who tried both Java and Kotlin for reasonable amount of time will understand that. Regardless of how many features Java adopts from Kotlin or other modern language it will still remain shackled by billions of lines of legacy code and boilerplate consequently.

The only one who might like the article is self-conscious Java developer who wants to feel good by bashing on competing language.

Wish it wasn’t morning so I could elaborate on every point. Might reply later to this comment.

> I'm delighted this standard header is now a... standard!

The POSIX standard isn't the C standard though (for better or worse).

Especially on Windows with MSVC "obvious" things like this are traditionally a royal PITA (which also means that a lot of C code coming from the UNIX world simply doesn't build on MSVC even though MSVC is now a decent standard-C compiler again).

But yeah, the C standard is just the minimal common subset of what C compilers offer. The good stuff is all in Clang and GCC extensions.

> 'There is literally nothing on that page that says how to tell them to "not use my data for training"...'

You can opt out of ChatGPT using your conversations for future training, without disabling any features like convo history.

Either some browser plug-in like an adblock is hiding the button from you, or you're not noticing and clicking it (I'm guessing the former [1]).

For me, on iPhone, there's a black button with white text "Make a Privacy Request" which sort of hovers bottom centre of the page the way "Chat Live with Support!" buttons often hover.

Click on that button to get to this - https://privacy.openai.com/policies?modal=take-control - which allows you to either delete your account, or:

"I would like to:
Step 1 of 2
Do not train on my content
Ask us to stop training on your content"

They then tell you it applies to content going forward, not stuff already done. But that's the opt out that doesn't require losing ChatGPT conversation history.

[1] On iOS Safari with 1Blocker enabled, I could see the button without it being hidden as an annoyance or widget or whatever, however when I tried entering email for opting out to check it still works it gave me an error message that suggested adblock type things might be the issue. I opened the page in Firefox for iOS (so same browser engine as Safari, but without 1Block) and it worked with no error message.
They literally made it up.

>of all the people I have known, who got rich rich are primarily people who stayed at one company a long time, and their career/responsibilities grew through promotions, eventually c-suite.

Yeah, that kind of career advice worked fine (great, even) many decades ago at stable companies like Boeing. It doesn't work now, including at companies like Boeing. because companies just aren't run that way any more.
That is a massive problem for me indeed, if true.
Kotlin has great tooling, and Java library compatibility, so why wouldn't you use it? When you work in Kotlin, you give the masses of Java programmers the ability to contribute and a licence to check their EnterpriseGradeFizzBuzzSolutionStrategyFactory mentality at the door. Do Java projects in industry even use the new stuff? Also, you can use virtual threads with coroutines.
If I understand correctly, you're not happy with the way ChatGPT can realise it's own mistake? or that it makes the mistake? I am not really sure, what is the problem exactly?

> What would be an example of "exploiting a rate limiting bug"?

All sorts of possibilities spring to mind for that. :)

Here's a hypothetical example. Lets say you discovered a logic bug in the API limit code along these lines: "So, it turns out if you have an `X-Forwarded-For` header in the request, then the request is processed properly except it isn't counted towards the limit. Effectively a bypass."

Exploiting this one would of course be trivial, as you'd just need to set that header for all your requests.

Energy without batteries must be produced when it's consumed. Imagine your cellphone without a battery: it would be connected to a power plant that must be started on demand, and stopped when your phone is not in use.

Now imagine your phone gets a battery, that can be charged with a small solar panel when you're not using the phone. This way, you can use the phone even when the sun isn't shinning or at dark hours, as long as the solar panel and the sunny hours at least match you consumption.

The additional generation you call for comes from the windy/sunny times when people are not consuming 100% of production, so they charge the batteries instead.

In fact, coal can be thought as a storage of energy, not a source: it was stored from sun energy some million years ago when nobody was consuming it, so we can recover some of that energy today by pluging "the coal batteries" in a furnace.
In this blog, we learned about the basics of NVMe and how consolidating your database workloads to NVMe can help maximise existing hardware, due to its incredible efficiency and near-zero IO wait times, which allows you to use fewer CPU cores to achieve the same transactional throughput.

We're all too mid. Luckily, these days we hoomans have AIs to help us understand other hoomans. Here is Gpt-4-1106-preview and Perplexity.ai versions trying to shed some light what was being said. https://pastebin.com/JuxfdrLg

Hilariously neither knows who is sama (Sam Altman, the Drama King of OpenAI), nor do they recognize when they themselves are being discussed.

Reading the responses in full also gives you a glimpse on specific merits or weaknesses of these systems, namely how up to date is their knowledge and lingo, explaining capabilities, and ability to see through multiple layers of referencing. Also showcases whether the AIs are willing to venture guessing to piece together some possible interpretation for hoomans to think about.

Clojure is such a joy to use. I get the maturity of the Java ecosystem and the immutability, functional style, and concision of a lisp. If performance really matters, and Clojure does perform well, you can always dive into stuff with all the Java tooling and interop is extremely easy. I really wish more people picked it up.

Exactly; the point of wearing a watch isn't to tell the time, it's to signal wealth or otherwise be fashionable. Honestly, the thing could be completely broken or dead and it really wouldn't matter. It would make more sense if men just stopped pretending these things are functional, and started wearing fancy bracelets instead of watches.

You don't scroll through such a list - you use filters, pivoting etc. For end users, it's often quite comfortable to unify this in an Excel-like interface, as they're used to it. In most CRUD projects I had, users had an aversion against paged/pre-filtered displays and rather would have everything in one list where they can dynamically filter it if necessary.

I don’t understand, the cheaper IKEA purifier (FÖRNUFTIG) uses its entire front side, covered with fabric, as the pre-filter. To clean it, you stop the purifier and vacuum clean the front side, which takes 15 seconds.

The more expensive round one (STARKVIND) doesn’t use its fabric covered front as the pre-filter (it’s actually solid) and instead has a separate fine mesh (not that fine though) layer underneath. To clean that, you have to take the front side off first, which takes a bit longer.
I’ve started to do this more often recently as well. Do you employ any specific approach for prompting to get what you want more consistently?

"Nothing underlying it" is a pretty good description of crypto tokens in general.
Yes you’re right, “fractional banking” may have been a bad choice of words on my part. The point I was trying to get across was that assets given to a crypto exchange would be lent out and used, instead of custodied.

This is the same as a bank. When you give them money they lend it out and use it for other purposes which is why “bank runs” exist if everyone asks for their money back at the same time

In fact the US regulators have been very hostile in recent years to banks where you give them money and they just custody it for you safely, even for a fee
What about the OnlyFans model?
I admit that I never understood what was going on with Google's voice assistant. As a user for the past 4-5 years or so (mainly using smart home devices), it hasn't shown improvement in quality; at times, it even seems to regress. What were all those people doing day to day??? This is a serious question.

I remember thinking the same thing about Twitter: Why do they have all those employees? And, with an 80% reduction in workforce, they are still operating. Yes, the new management is ruining the business side of things, but the service is still functional in the same way as it was 3 years ago.

I love the war stories people are sharing. I am surprised nobody is addressing the main point of the article- the frustration of being blamed.

Mistakes and technical limitations are understandable, but why blame the customer? An automated error message was still written by a human. Human people decided the response to "invalid characters".

Subbing in a computer for a human doesn't create a valid excuse. Saying, "being nice doesn't scale", doesn't make things right.

My war story- tried to get a copy of my birth certificate. My mother doesn't have a middle name. Never did. First and last only. The county office required me to tell them her middle name. After much arguing they said her last name was her married name and her middle name was her maiden name. When I asked what her name was before marriage, I finally got it much to the dismay of the employees.

At least I had a human to look at. That eventually, with much work, used common sense over programmed logic.
I am a former JavaScript developer who did that for 15 years. The I see missing most are: written communications, basic concepts of organization, data structures.

JavaScript was painful to abandon as a career. I loved the expressiveness of the language and the creativity it allowed. The jobs though were just putting text on screen and your peers were exceedingly young, insecure, and highly untrained. It’s like having a live for automobiles but becoming an auto-mechanic means your peers likely lack education, have low income potential, and drink more.

It is time for expectation management. If you want to start over in a different field you are not going to make what you making. You need to gain some experience in your new field to qualify a return to a high salary unless you can leverage your prior experience directly with credentials to laterally slide into a new field.
“One pile” vs “extract helper” - I like this distinction. This is the main mental model I’ve arrived at for reading Peter Norvig’s style of coding - a style which i can’t help but be really drawn to.

I’d understand one pile not as just throw everything in one function but thoughtfully arrange code with surgical precision into purposeful blocks with no noise or distractions. I.e. it’s as much about getting rid of crap as it is about concentrating the line of execution.
Ah, gotcha. I thought you might have some weird, nice needs and was curious about it :)
