Yeah, and some people believe the earth is flat.

If we wanted a society where the purpose of a business is to produce useful things, then we should not have the rules set up like they are.

You can't create an entire system of rules and regulations that set it up so the incentives are all aligned for companies to exist to make money, and then be surprised when those incentives work.
Pretty sure it's a joking way of saying they used to be a day trader.
I do like how this seems to stop curiously short of 2038.

There's no problem here at all; except perhaps the wildly absurd fantasy of "perfectly rational (and/or intelligent) markets," which the popularity of e.g. lotteries and casinos immediately disproves. Not much to see here.

The behaviour of customers of lotteries is indeed clearly not perfectly rational if you consider the monetary expected value of your wins. On the other hand, the customers' behaviour gets much more rational if you consider the customer's utility function: a huge lottery win has a disproportional benefit for the customer with respect to the customer's utility function (since the lottery win will hopefully change the customer's life). In other words: what the customer optimizes for is the expected value of his utility function.
DataTypes was and is such a brilliant invention.
There is an interesting aspect when looking at gender in intra-relationship violence. The rate of violence is fairly independent on the gender of the couple, meaning that same-sex relationships has the same rate of violence as any other relationship. This statistical phenomenon mean that women in same-sex relationships are twice as violent as other women, and men in same-sex relationships are about half as violent as other men.

The big question then is what (if any) gender specific motivations is causing this to occur.

Your comment is disingenuous as you cherrypicked a sentence from the article.

Further it goes like this: "But it meant that with our new card we were seen as ‘new’ customers, so all the carefully algorithmically picked shopping items that we buy regularly and got extra Nectar Points on, or Nectar Prices were forgotten. It’s taken MONTHS for us to get the new card to learn what we buy, and give us relevant offers based on it."

So clearly the customer service had no understanding of the issue and it suggest it took them weeks to issue a new card - from what I gather - after the author created a video, but that doesn't seem clear.

But that matches my comment - his problem has not been resolved and it took weeks.
Neuralink implants brain chip in first human, Musk says
I wonder if it'd really cover anything remotely close to 99% of cases. Even if 100% of parents knew about it and watched their credit cards enough to notice a $1 refunded transaction it just takes something like one friend in high school with a credit card to sign up all their little brother's friends. It may even just cause more credit cards being shared around than kids it stops from getting to the site they want on.

Then there'd be even more unintended consequence. Instead of sites you don't want kids creating accounts on you'd have sites selling 5 minutes of ads to create an account for them or increasingly shady stuff. Preventing this kind of site is the same as the original issue.

It can be expensive but it’s also pretty cheap.

I have some food allergies and cook everything from scratch at home so I know it can be cheap to cook yourself but there are some processed foods that are just cheap for the calories especially things on sale.

Other factors like limited transportation and space in a backpack or bag to carry home can make bulk savings harder.

Yeah you can eat rice and beans for cheap, but that’s not really a completely nutritious diet. I’ve eaten it a lot!
On a related note, with the (tens of) thousands of "custom GPTs" coming up in the next few years, it would be interesting if the chat would automatically recommend using any one of them in response to a particular query. In a way, it is as if it is directing you to a (human-made) better engineered (pre) prompt.
> customers so inept that...

I used to think like that until I got to see some legacy systems in action. Sometimes it just makes financial sense to keep paying Larry and avoid a big rewrite.
In fact, that already exists. Nearly every bank, Chase included, operates a savings account with maximum six transactions a month.
Good initiative but I consider screentop.gg is a solid and pretty consolidated option on that field. It's quite easy to create games on that system
What they are doing is SaaS by stealth.

You buy their product once, but it only has bug and security fixes for 3 years.

Which means every business is going to need to upgrade on a cycle anyway.
Shorteners these days are for analytics, not shortening per se.
If it's 4% of all males, makes me think it's close to 25% of males with good amounts of muscles. Of course it's skewed by basically 90% of people with massive amounts of muscles taking them. But massive muscles alone doesn't make up 4% of the population.

Reasonable guess, but hard to verify.

It appears for example that every youtuber who looks like they have decent amount of muscles are going to be hit with the accusation that they used steroids.
This, and also Solaris was years ahead in some areas. Hopefully linux will overtake it completely before 2037.
Also, there is no need to gamble when you can just park your
$ in leveraged tech funds or even something like QQQ and make a >30% ROI every year, which has been the long-term return since 2009. This is best for large amounts of cash. The huge bull market in tech, like Nvidia and Meta stock, made other type of speculation unnecessary. A lot of people doing this now.

Elevated errors affecting API and ChatGPT
Yes, I've had great success with this in a few cases.

There's the obvious "create a stable diffusion prompt with all the line noise of 'unreal engine 4K high quality award winning photorealistic'" stuff which is pretty obvious.

Less obvious is using it to refine system prompts for the "create your own GPTs" thing. I used this approach for my "Chat with Marcus Aurelius, Emperor of Rome and Stoic philosopher"[1] and "New Testament Bible chat"[2]

I'm particularly happy with how well the Marcus Aurelius one works, eg: https://chat.openai.com/share/27323fe8-56e2-4620-8e4a-3ebf69...

For both of these I started with a rough prompt and then asked GPT4 to refine it.

I found the key was to make sure to read the generated prompt very carefully to make sure it is actually asking for what you want.

More recently I've been using the same technique for some more complicated use-cases: creating a prompt for GPT-4 to rank answers and creating prompts for Mistral-7B. The same basic approach works well for both of these.

It sounds like it's talking about accounts using physical passbooks.

> A Lloyds Banking Group spokesperson said it started talking to customers last year to help them get familiar with how accounts operate without passbooks ...

> Virgin Money told us it was in the process of removing passbook accounts from its range ... affected customers can typically keep the account they have and operate it as a statement-based account instead of using a physical passbook.
> How is a company 10,000 miles away from you going to hurt you compared to a local one that has access to all government services (and vice versa)? I'd rather prefer Chinese or Russian companies to spy on me because what are they going to do with it that would matter? Will I get more spam in Mandarin/Cyrillic I can't decipher anyway?

Don't forget – if someone unlocks your door and leaves it ajar, then anyone can get in.

Chinese companies are not well known for their cyber security practices. Even if you don't care how they could use this information (either individually, or in the aggregate across millions of people), you should also care about who else would be able to hack into the feed.

You don't want a "kia boyz" situation with a camera in your home. Imagine some kid finds an easily exploitable vulnerability and releases some software allowing anyone to tap into your camera? This has happened with security cameras already. It's even worse these days with cloud connected equipment, all you need is a vulnerability in the cloud command and control.

And, although most US agencies are not allowed to collect data from citizens in US soil, they can (and have) collected data procured from elsewhere.

The bottom line is, the same information can end up much, much closer to you.
your trust that things would not be on the market just seems very rose tinted glasses to me, but maybe my hesitancy in agreeing is slightly misplaced. rather than the blind trust, maybe it would be the "shocked to find out" something slipped past the regulations. we see this happen all the time. for me, the trust isn't there. i'm honestly shocked at this point that i don't get sick from mass produced food, or hurt by any other product. i just let the other animals in the herd go first more than trusting the regulators

EDIT: here's a headline from just within the past hour recalling 50,000 cars with a "DO NOT DRIVE" warning[0]. that's from a very heavily regulated industry. these types of things are precisely why "trust" is not really warranted on my part. it's more of just blind acceptance, not trust.

Funnily, this is how Hungarian appends suffixes at the end of the words. The "brightness" of the suffix has to match the brightness of the stem.

We'd call e/i/ö/ü "high" tone class while a (as in the word calm) / o / u "low" tone.
I have a couple of pizza boxes under a bed in the spare room. My SO wants me to throw them out, I say in a low voice "you'll thank me when the balloon goes up ..."
I think this is well-said! However, I am very much not a he. :')
For me it’s the check that makes the ‘check’ box. So the Apple Vision ones are, IMHO, to spec.

Radio buttons don’t have a check, they have a filled circle inside.
Seems pretty trivial to support Python serverside. Python is very easy to run in a lightweight isolated container (and you can compile it to static executable). The game data that the engine makes available to the server side code looks pretty standard and doesn't look like a huge shim to maintain.

You could even cross compile the Python to typescript for a simplified server side environment (typy for example).
> I managed to get to bet on something that had already happened

But you're not. You're betting on whether the contract will settle and when. That's quite distinct from betting on the event itself.
The scientific instruments need to be mass-produced, too, of course. A 7-digit number of rovers would be extremly cheap per piece. Shipping would become a problem though.
there is nothing wrong with Typescript, but it is the react part that worries me. Wouldn't you want something more light weight on the front end than react for games? Like svelt, marko or solid?
GenAI isn't super magical, it helps senior engineers with boilerplate and certain types of method discovery.

I think the simple answer is to imagine life before Google and general purpose search engines that could find answers in documentation.

How did life change for developers after this? More information, more easily available, complexity of the domain increased and comprehensive documentation (manuals) went away.

GenAI/LLMs really are a better search engine, in so many ways, so just imagine this trajectory.
Hey, he's got my car. It doesn't make that beeping sound when you open it, though.
Sure, but we're talking about one of the most influential franchises of all time. If done right I'm sure it could break records. We're in the perfect time for the subject matter it deals with.

Cyberpunk 2077 proves there is a market, and they screwed that up initially (now it's great, but it still lacks the substance that Deus Ex has).
Yep, try running a marketing contest sometime and then trying to notify people by phone or email that they have won the grand prize.
I can highly recommend Chicken Scheme, it does exactly what you want :) It has also a nice friendly community, and a couple hundred extensions.
Not “mad cow disease”, but CJD.

“Mad Cow Disease” specifically refers to the variant form that is said to have been caused by prions from infected animals turning up in beef products.

Though in fact all we know for sure about the link there is that it’s the same prion in the cattle and human cases; the suggestion that there’s a direct food chain connection is still only considered very likely, not proven.
Tin foil hats back in fashion
Can't speak from personal experience, but OP laid it out pretty clearly. You wait till you have an edge, then you bet. There are various books that try to capture it. Doyle Brunson's super system is like way outdated, but there are some funny bits about being a Texas road gambler getting run out of town. Annie Duke has a book I believe. My window into that world is pretty narrowly focused on poker.

I'll always recommend _Positively Fifth Street_ by James McManus. He doesn't really lay out how to do it step by step, but takes you along for a ride as to what the world looks like from that perspective. kinda.
I don’t either. I watch maybe one or two movies and a couple of seasons of television a year. I would only ever rewatch a movie if it happened to be on at someone’s house.

But don’t stress, I’m not working on self improvement or my side hustle or whatever, I am watching sport or playing video games instead!
Google news seems pretty reputable; of course it is more of a news aggregator so that must be kept in mind.

>Some ads even contain malware...

Yeah but what does that have to do with this though? Google isn't getting a kickback from the people running the malware like the 'news website' that was seized was. Google doesn't want malware to be delivered from ads and takes many steps to mitigate it. To compare that to the direct kickback from drug and stolen ID marketplaces is silly IMO.
It's awful that only a privileged subset of hacked users may get enough public attention to have Google give special treatment.

But I hope Matthias gets his channel back. I'm a long-time subscriber to both of his channels. Hopefully my comment adds into the pile and brings more notice to him :)

R7RS is very much worth supporting; there'll shortly be a Chicken Scheme 6 with full support for R7RS-Small.

R7RS-Large development is slow, but not at all dead.
If it worked like that, that would be great! However, our regulatory frameworks unfortunately seem to be in rather a rather weakened place right now. The medical industry is rife with corruption in a number of places, as best as I understand the situation. And even if it weren't, measuring safety I think is a very hard thing to begin with. :'/
So that prompted me to try and look up which countries don't have U.S. troops. Came up with: https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/us-troop-...

Which says there is no presence in only these countries:

Venezuela
French Guiana
Ivory Coast
Libya
Western Sahara
Guinea-Bissau
Eritrea
Lesotho
Eswatini
Syria
Iraq
Iran
Afghanistan
North Korea
Vanuatu
New Caledonia
Falkland Islands

...Don't know how accurate that is, since it says there are 38 US troops in Russia? Maybe they're all moonlighting as diplomats?
90% of statistics are garbage. More seriously, there is a massive replication crisis and these types of studies are at the center. Did they survey 20 people? Did they happen to be 20 year old fratbros on a college campus?

Even if you set survey methods aside, it has been well established that there are is a single digit percent of people that are simply survey obstructionists. They will say that the sky is red on a survey, because they dont care or are trolling
I wonder how much hidden telemetry is in Brave browser, if any. Has anyone with wireshark chops looked into it?
This article is about a government agency that deliberately used race over merit. The documents show that a merit-based test (of cognitive ability) was scrapped because too many black people failed. It was replaced with a point system, based on biographical data, where a lower grade in high school science improved an applicant's odds of being hired.

Regardless of what is true about "most organizations", the FAA engaged in a deliberately racist scheme to exclude the most qualified people if they are an undesirable race.

You seem to be responding to a specific example of a federal agency engaging in racism by saying that most organizations are not that way. How does that make this instance acceptable? Given the long period of time the government has been getting away with it, how do you know most organizations are not quietly doing the same thing?
Maybe we are, but I'm not really sure 'seniority' is a great word to describe it. The term usually implies ranking due to duration. But it's really just a ranking prescribed by law. Often the shortest term lenders who are facilitating the bankruptcy process are first!
Actually, yes -- if you enabled Lost Mode. I have some experience with this situation directly.

On the way home from a trip in December, I dropped an AirTag in the pocket my 3-year-old's stroller and forgot to attach it securely before I gate checked the stroller.

I got the stroller back when we arrived but realized a day later that the AirTag slipped out. I could see it at the AirPort but an ~hour of time trying to recover it wasn't worth it.

I put it in Lost Mode mostly for kicks and when you place it in lost mode you can give people a way to contact you. I left my number.

I watched the AirTag go from my home airport to Scottsboro, Alabama and I knew the lost luggage store was there, so I was confused.

A week or so later I got a call from a service company that handles lost and found for Southwest Airlines. There were able to use an iDevice (presumably) to get my contact information since I had placed the AirTag in Lost Mode. They mailed it back to me for the cost of shipped. I assume if they don't find the owner it goes to the lost luggage store mentioned in the article.

Older don't really do GPGPU much. The older cards are also quite slow relative to modern ones! A lot of the ancient workstation cards can run big models cheaply, but (1) with incredible software complexity (2) very slowly, even relative to modern CPUs.

Blender rendering very much isn't ML, but it is a nice, standardized benchmark:

https://opendata.blender.org/

As a point of reference: A P40 has a score of 774 for Blender rendering, and a 4090 has 11,321. There are CPUs ($$$) in the 2000 mark, so about dual P40. It's hard for me to justify a P40-style GPU over something like a 4060Ti 16GB (3800), an Arc a770 16GB (1900), or a 7600XT 16GB (1300). They cost more, but the speed difference is nontrivial, as is the compatibility difference and support life. A lot of work is going into making modern Intel / AMD GPUs supported, while ancient ones are being deprecated.
You're just moving the responsibility around. Someone has to be responsible for arbitraging risk/supply/demand over a long time period. It could be the buyer/intermediary or the supplier. Generally, regulation on how the market self-optimizes is not good, because it will be sub-optional and the market will try to optimize around your roadblock, which simply creates additional inefficiency.
We should ask this to an archeologist, but If I remember correctly we dodge the bullet a few times. Almost gone 900.000 years ago. Human DNA points to several genetical bottlenecks.
The IRS has various rules in place that determine whether gambling is your business / profession. If you qualify as a professional gambler, you can deduct losses against your winnings (just like casual gamblers can) but you can also deduct your "business expenses" (e.g. cost of travel, hotels, meals, etc that you spend in pursuit of your business).
In pretty sure that most major CAPTCHA services exclude the Google bot.
This is an excellent write-up. We've felt these same pain points with CFN and CDK. AWS has unfortunately rested on the laurels of its first-mover advantage a little too much. The leadership around CloudFormation and its limitations are holding back so much potential. Even when I worked at AWS, it was super frustrating when other teams would launch features or APIs that wouldn't be supported in CloudFormation until months later.

Unfortunately, we're in a weird position at this point in time. You're forced to make trade-offs, and none of them feel good.

- Writing JSON/YAML to model IaC via plain CloudFormation or SAM is an absolute non-starter. Just suffering and pain.

- Modeling IaC using HCL for Terraform isn't any better. I'm done writing configs in pseudo-languages. It sucks.

- CDK solves a lot of problems. But it's not without issue, and there's no denying that CloudFormation is dragging it down. I still think the self-mutating pipelines being themselves managed as IaC through the CDK app is how all CI/CD should be done.

- CDKTF is promising, but in infancy and doesn't seem all that mature for production apps. But if you're a heavy user of AWS, the lack of support for higher level L2/L3 AWS CDK constructs can be painful.

- Pulumi is perhaps a more mature offering, and something that I first got exposed to through Webiny. Definitely interesting, but the same lack of L2/L3 AWS CDK constructs is a pain point.

- Ion sounds like it'll be an extension of Pulumi with a catalog of high level serverless constructs, a subset of supported Terraform providers, and SST DX improvements. That really is exciting! But it's not out right now. Even if it was, migrating existing services to it would probably be too onerous to bother. And if you can't migrate existing services, it raises the question of whether or not it's worth it to keep new things on the existing flow as well instead of

At our startup, we currently use AWS CDK and mostly manage to work around the sharp edges. I've long felt that CDK is the right abstraction, but built on the wrong foundation. My guess was that something like CDKTF would win in the long run. But maybe it'll be Ion+Pulumi. I'm both optimistic about what IaC tooling will look a few years from now and sad at the reality of the situation today.
Going from free to $990 is a huge price hike.
> back in the day, I could buy an (UV) EPROM programmer for several hundred $$. Or I could study the datasheets, build my own EPROM programmer for a fraction of that, and write some software. Guess which route I took.

Even in 80's dollars, that's a big opportunity cost as a grownup. Now you can buy a $3 STLink and call it good. It's changed.

He said nearly a thousand dollars, which isn't that hard to get to-- but it means that you're doing a pretty wide variety of stuff.
Yes, but that just would cause the derived product not to be needed, when it was actually actively banned because it was proven to have caused some cases of CJD.
