I love Penn & Teller, and also have huge respect for their efforts to debunk grifters and charlatans. Fool Us (a segment of which is embedded in the article) is also really good, and a fun family watch.

One of the most interesting parts of the show is how Penn has a post-presentation conversation with the magician to determine if P&T know how it was done without giving the trick away to the audience.

I would trust a random person who has been hired by Elon Musk more than I would trust Elon Musk.

I would trust a random person who has not been hired by Elon Musk, more than I would trust the first random person.

So the fact that I would find a Nueralink spokesperson more trustworthy than Musk himself doesn’t say that I have high trust in that spokesperson.
The sign-up site is a bit vague as to who should sign up. Is it the consumer of a customer service request that is stuck in a vendor's support processes, or is it vendors looking to help out their own support process? I think it's the former but not enough info to tell for sure.
Exactly, it's not disinformation when the person is spreading the information through ignorance.

It's misinformation then they intentionally spread it, whilst knowing better.

Solaris has supported a 64-bit time_t since (at least) 2010:

> The 64-bit system interfaces are inherently more capable than some of their 32-bit equivalents. Application programmers concerned about year 2038 problems (when 32-bit time_t runs out of time) can use the 64-bit time_t. While 2038 seems a long way off, applications that do computations concerning future events, such as mortgages, might require the expanded time capability.

Ask HN: How would you architect a scraper system?
I’m looking into how large scale scraping systems work. I’m building https://cardog.io was interested in the “best practices” for strict formatted scraping systems. I’m thinking of using kafka handle the scraped data intake and transformation. Does anyone have any experience building something like this?
I’ve commented it before, and surely it’s something I’m doing wrong, but I cannot believe system prompts or GPTs or any amount of instructing actually works for people to get ChatGPT to respond in a certain fashion with any consistency.

I have spent hours and hours and hours and hours trying to get ChatGPT to be a little less apologetic, long-winded, to stop reiterating, and to not interpret questions about its responses as challenges (i.e when I say “what does this line do?” ChatGPT responds “you’re right, there’s another way to do it…”).

Nothing and I mean NOTHING will get ChatGPT with GPT-4 to behave consistently. And it gets worse every day. It’s like a twisted version of a genie misinterpreting a wish. I don’t know if I’ve poisoned my ChatGPT or if I’m being A/B tested to death but every time I use ChatGPT I very seriously consider unsubscribing. The only reasons I don’t are 1) I had an insanely impressive experience with GPT-3, and 2) Google is similarly rapidly decreasing in usefulness.
Yes, I just used GPT-4 to create a prompt for GPT-3.5-Turbo based on some loose rules that I laid out. It helped me fill in the gaps and write it in a concise format.

The prompt gave much much better results than than the one I wrote.
Why does this have a cost?

You can get street view images from maps.google.com for free, so a scraper should be able to use the same interface for free (as long as it's either not throttled, or you can get multiple IPs or don't care about speed).
Moreover, it was made by one of the folks who brought TypeScript support to Svelte (https://github.com/halfnelson/svelte2tsx), so although it may not be explicitly pushed by the core team, it was still made by a significant core contributor.

I'll note that React is the only web renderer that gives official blessing to a native framework, and that's because it's also the only web renderer that built one themselves rather than leaving it to the community.
Those last two are not sovereign nations, nor are Western Sahara or French Guiana.

Otherwise, that mostly reads like a list of nations that lack normalized diplomatic relations with the US, hence no embassy staff. Except for Vanuatu, which is in the process of getting a US embassy.

I don't think GC was suggesting that we stop blood transfusions, but rather that we do better tracking to improve our understanding in a way that normally would be unethical (if not for the fact that, as you say, blood transfusions are a life-saving intervention).
The author claimed that 90% was illogical; that it should have been closer to 98-99%. What the author failed to realize is that there are overhead costs in betting -- 10% rake, 5% withdrawal, etc. that cut into that 98-99% margin.

I assume this is for dedicated unshared bandwidth with no cap since it's for ISP. If that's the case, if it uses the average of one satellite that's 3+ million SpaceX needs to gather to break even (not counting the cost of operations or equipment itself). As far as cost competitiveness installing and maintaining an undersea cable is a worse deal (though preferable if you can afford it). Overall the prices don't shout "ridiculous!" to me by either measure. It actually seems pretty cost competitive and probably not full of 1000% margin or something.

Via another comparison it's a 10x increase vs 1 TB of priority data @40 mbps (250/m) but that's actually a good value considering this is @1000 mbps with no cap. Shooting 10 Gbps (10x cost) to the island, for example, is likely to cost a bit more than it would have to have the island's population all by Starlink individually but they'll get significantly better service as a result.

This is something that's only viable for pocket areas in remote locations though, particularly islands. Dense areas or plain rural areas fit either normal connectivity or traditional Starlink better.

The parent comment you are replying to is making a statement about precision vs other metrics such as user familiarity, accuracy, etc. The size of an American Penny and a 9v battery are both very precise, the former even more so. The lack of universitality is a different argument, the tangent your comment discusses.

"Precise" has a precise meaning, and it was a pedantic (though in a way I appreciate) comment on that. Your lack of familiarity with "American" pennies does not change that they are a very well defined size.

This often comes up in science discussions because to many lay people "Precise", "Accurate" and other terms are used interchangeably, when they have distinct meanings
>It's not that anyone wants kids to have easy access to this stuff, but that any of these laws will either be (a) unenforceable and useless, or (b) draconian and privacy-destroying.

Surely not.

Imagine: government sells proof of age cards. They contain your name, and a unique identifier.

Each time you sign up to a service, you enter your name and ID. The service can verify with the government that your age is what it needs to be for the service. There are laws that state that you can't store that ID or use it for any other purpose.

Doesn't seem impossible.
I think that still remains to be seen. Elden Ring did well (granted it mas multiplayer but it's not the main experience), Resident Evil games still do well, in the West there is Alan Wake 2, Senua's Sacrifice, and the others you already mentioned which include God of War, Tomb Raider, etc.

The question here is can Deus Ex compete with these titles, and it absolutely can depending on the execution of it. The brand is definitely there, and it really feels like they're underestimating it.
I hope you realize you are born, fed, sheltered, and survive because of corporations. Corporations's goals can easily align with the well being of yourself. Trust is one part of many stats a company has to maintain like an RPG character, and it doesn't come for free.

Attacks on US bases in the region have become a routine. Expect more casualties in the following months and years.

The US does not has a good response to this escalation. It could continue to bomb proxies, but it has almost no effect and it may even be counter-productive since it plays right into the Iranian propaganda, especially in the light of the Gaza war. Meanwhile, a big war with Iran would be a VERY risky endeavor with extremely unpredictable consequences for the global economy.

> It's hugely expensive to do this and that money would be better spent on more important things.

Unless the company is compensating folks for living closer to offices, they are likely just transferring those costs to the employees’ cost of living when forcing folks to live in higher cost of living areas.

I've been told by people who work at Delta, if they lose your bag, tell them the bag contained the cremated remains of a family member. They will go the extra mile to find that bag instead of compensating you for it.
Not a lot of money in stolen baggage. But using stolen baggage as an in to socially engineer someone into sending you Target gift cards? That seems like the kind of scam that might happen.

Yes, it's also known as petuntse. Excerpt from Chinese Art by Stephen W. Bushell, 1910:

Porcelain has been broadly defined as the generic term employed to designate all kinds of pottery to which an incipient vitrification has been imparted by firing. This translucent pottery may be divided into two classes: 1. Hard paste, containing only natural elements in the composition of the body and the glaze. 2. Soft paste, where the body is an artificial combination of various materials agglomerated by the action of fire, in which the compound called a frit has been used as a substitute for a natural rock. No soft paste porcelain, as here defined, has ever been made in China, so that it need not be referred to further. All Chinese porcelain is of the hard paste variety. The body consists essentially of two elements-viz., the white clay, or kaolin, the unctuous and infusible element, which gives plasticity to the paste, and the felspathic stone, or petuntse, which is fusible at a high temperature, and gives transparency to the porcelain.

Of the two Chinese names, which have become classical since they were adopted in the dictionary of the French Academy, kaolin is the name of a locality near Chingtêchên where the best porcelain earth is mined, petuntse, literally "white briquettes," refers to the shape in which the finely pulverized porcelain stone
is brought to the potteries, after it has been submitted to the preliminary processes of pounding and decantation. The felspathic stone from Ch'i-mên-hsien, in the province of Kiangsu, has been chemically analysed by Ebelmen, who describes it as a white compact rock of slightly greyish tinge, occurring in large fragments covered with manganese oxide in dendrites, and having crystals of quartz imbedded in the mass, which fuses completely into a white enamel under the blowpipe.

Cyberpunk did more of that through it's exploration of netrunning and AIs rather than augments I felt, like you said it did a good job of making augmentation an almost mundane part of the world. It also focused a lot more on the plight of individuals as they were getting squashed between the tech and the corporate political machine. Deus Ex focused much more on bigger world scale conspiracies, and the player character was quite emotionally disconnected from it all.

Both truly excellent stories, and the DLC Phantom Liberty did focus on some big concept conspiracies external to the player and felt a bit more like a plot in Deus Ex.

You make a good point. A post about a specific event wherein police trashed amenities is a convenient narrative, whereas broad talk about demographics is not.

In a similar vein, in Portland, Oregon it is common to see police employ heavy machinery to bulldoze homeless camps. It is convenient to say that the police are responsible for that because we do not know that the police aren’t themselves homeless and demolishing their own camps (something they would be demographically inclined to do as homeless people)

Honestly, this is a chance to be creative and informative, here. You could have provided a background and motivation for transforms. A "why we are here in the first place." There's actually no need to be formal or a need for a worry about good definitions.

You could have provided your own perspective for why transforms exist and why they need to be used. That would have involved explaining why a point or a vector needs to be transformed into another vector, in the context of 3D graphics.

Or why transformations in 3D space work so well and reliably.

You basically elaborated on the how, like a simple technician, while neglecting the fundamental context of your study. That's great for recording some notes and for helping to reinforce a memorization requirement and routine. But going down the deep wells of abstract subjects like the intimidating ideas of advanced mathematics calls for some unusual approaches to looking at things standing in front of you.

Engineers know how things work. And mathematicians know why those things work. The smarter person sees through the black boxes.
