I think this is an S+ tier example of why you shouldn't pay for ChatGPT.

I just tried for a few minutes to try and have it "help me remember song lyrics" and where it is somewhat correctly guessing the songs, it's disheartening to watch it absolutely butcher it. I can see they are trying to appeal to copyright but this is not how you do it.

If I was a CEO of a company and I was considering paying money for ChatGPT this would be the demo that convinces me not to. What use is an AI to me that can't even get song lyrics that I can find literally anywhere else on the web? The only thing you're doing in my eyes is making an absolute fool of yourself showing just how much your willing to break your own product to the benefit of what?

It's a fool's errand to intentionally hobble your own AI, if anything you're exactly making the case why we SHOULDN'T use your AI and instead use anything else that will be unrestricted. AI is being killed in the cradle by copyright.

I'm not worried about AI taking over if this is going to be the result.
When it's your first job in the field? We still don't use personal experiences as shitty proxy for how you're able to handle work situations
Should we penalize titles with 'scammed' in them? Or even 'scam', which would match a lot more?

They're certainly mostly bad, but then most articles are; it's more important not to miss the few interesting ones.
IANAL, but AIUI filing a John Doe lawsuit is acceptable because there are statutes of limitations on how long you have to file a suit. By filing a case with an unknown defendant, you protect your right to sue while you go about gathering evidence.

You’re still going to have to sue someone identifiable at the end of it, but they can’t argue that your suit is too old (since the reason it’s too old is that the defendant was hiding their identity, not that you weren’t timely in noticing and responding to the infringement).
My undergraduate degree is in Fine Arts, and we did a Senior Seminar which amounted to a month of talking for a few hours a day on these kinds of topics. It was a ton of fun, and did force us to really go deep down all the paths mentioned here, and many others... and at the end of it all, there are no definitive answers. Art is whatever the artist or the audiences make of it.
It definitely is ambitious! A multi-year effort.

This post https://www.unison.cloud/our-approach/ talks more about why such radical changes were necessary to achieve what we wanted. (In particular check out the "3 requirements of the dream" section, which walks through what the programming language needs to support to be able to do things like "deploy with a function call.")

My general take on "when and where to innovate" is: if you can get a 10x or more improvement in some important dimension by doing things differently, it can absolutely be worth it. This is the philosophy we've applied in developing Unison over the years. I am generally happy to learn something new if I know that I'll be getting something substantial out of it. Of course it can be hard to tell from the outside if the benefits really are worth the changes. I'm not sure what to say about that, other than try it out with something low risk and decide for yourself.

Besides the distributed programming / cloud stuff, I'll give a couple other examples where we gain advantages by doing things differently: by storing Unison code in a database, keyed by the hash of that code, we gain a perfect incremental compilation cache which is shared among all developers of a project. This is an absolutely WILD feature, but it's fantastic and hard to go back once you've experienced it. I am basically never waiting around for my code to compile - once code has been parsed and typechecked once, by anyone, it's not touched again until it's changed. This has saved me countless hours compared to other static languages. And I don't have to give up static typing to get this.

This sort of content-addressed caching also plays out for testing - for pure tests (which are deterministic), Unison has a test result cache keyed by the hash of the test code. This also saves countless hours - imagine never needing to rerun the same tests over and over when nothing's changed! (And having certainty that the cache invalidation is perfect so you don't need to do a "clean build just to be sure")

Nope. Had to take one for BB, CVS, T-Mobile, as late as 2022.
I'm curious, would you say using a third party to handle payments (stripe/paypal/shopify etc) would help avoid some of these issues? I'm not sure I understand point 2, especially if there's a "regular" checkout page by one of these companies.
and millions of other things including their health and if they need their car overnight for a serious emergency and it's stuck at 5% charge

I am very suspicious of EVs as a concept because I perceive them as something not built for me , or for my benefit or pleasure but for the environment, those sorts of things always end up being a loss for the person paying out of pocket.

It's something you can't explain with numbers, when you set foot in an EV you feel in your guts that its something not built for you, for your utility or your pleasure.

They are shoved down people's throats in a very suspicious way too, like it's some new level of quality of life unlocked, while it's the same old car ownership experience except you are surrounded by cheap material and you feel like you are taking one for society. That's not how I excpect to feel after I spend 30-50k, also not being able to use the car 24/7/365 when you pay 30-50k is ridiculous
It IS in the interest of the city. This does not translate into policymaking because of the intersection of these realities:

1) The 'special interest' effect — where narrow groups of highly-motivated individuals become more politically organized and effective than the rest, whose interests are at odds with the minority group but whose members are, on an individual basis, not affected enough to take political action. This is especially true when the special interest group is highly-resourced.

2) The USA system of deciding what gets constructed where is slow, bureaucratic, and tends to have lots of nucleation sites for local special interest groups to assert their political power.

2) NIMBYs are, by definition, landed gentry, and therefore more highly-resourced than young renters.
So the PPD means we only need a factor of 2 denser pixels and we can throw all other 4K screens away. Wait for a factor of 3 higher PPD (~ 100?) and we may get rid of all of our single-person-use monitors. I guess I'll wait for Vision Pro 4 to get the "retina display."
> The mistake is thinking that you can just "think for yourself" without possessing knowledge.

This is clearly a mistake since EVERYONE THINKS FOR THEMSELVES WITHOUT BEING SPOON-FED IT.

A person needs to be socialized enough to develop language. As long as you’re more human-sociable than a chimpanzee-raised jungle child, that base is covered. You don’t need much more beyond that in order to “think”.

> I think people who avoid scams, cults, and pseudoscience largely does it through general knowledge and heuristics, not by thinking hard.

Everyone has built-in heuristics. Why do you think “rationalists” complain about “cognitive biases” so much? We need heuristics to survive. Something which we did prior to Prussian-inspired schooling.

Getting your followers to call in bomb threats over trans-friendly content and events, however, is exclusive to the far right. Which is what this article is about.

This is what-aboutism and threadjacking.
Line count (or count of any units in the PR) is completely meaningless.

I feel that in the last decade somehow there has been a loss of context of what is the purpose of version control.

Why do we bother with version control? Sure, there are many reasons.

But a primary reason is that if we discover behavior X turns out to cause regressions (or is otherwise a bad idea), we can easily revert it by reverting its commit.

That's a why a single commit should contain a single behavior change, and contain the entirety of that single behavior change.

If the change is split among multiple commits, it'll be a pain to revert it. If the change is contained within a commit that changes other things, it'll be an ever larger pain to revert it.

So that's my rule. A commit is single behavior change, all of it, and nothing else.

You can't express that in lines. Might be 1 line might be lots.
I think it's gotta be big, to be worth it. The X3D dies are tiny and the additional SRAM is flanked by unused silicon to keep the package a uniform shape.

The lowest end Radeon 7600 still has 8MB of infinity cache.

Giving an APU 64MB of cache would be a mistake at current performamne levels, giving it 4MB might not be worth the time or silicon or the 4MB SRAM die floats away from the wind generated by the place and pick.
This is one of those cases of where we're focusing on the wrong metric for a very generic problem.

There's too many facets to what makes a PR good that boiling it down to line count is silly.

Ex. Small code changes are required if the solution requires it - forcing 5 lines change to 50 lines would be considered wildly bad idea. On the other hand a 500 line PR to solve one problem suddenly broken down to 10 PRs makes the review far harder depending on the context.

I feel like the scammers just had his PayPal creds and this is how they extract money from it. If they just transfered it PayPal would be more likely to react swiftly to the complaint, this method might stymie someone completely.

I wouldn't worry about memory. As I noted, the propagation value of environment vars can be very handy (make sure the programs are communicating via JSON, from an upstream example) and can also lead to confusing bugs (why is this generating JSON output???)
Not just trauma necessarily, but many of our defining moments include things like, leaving a religious community we grew up in, coming out as LGBTQ+, being too broke to pay bills and taking out a risky loan, experiencing racism/sexism/ageism.

Not things I'd be inclined to talk about when those things are ripe for opening myself up to discrimination.

I will say that market rate has outpaced these costs. My wife and I ignore market rate and are always below, but we do adjust based on our actual costs. For a 3 bedroom in a Midwest metro area we had to raise rents based on our actual and projected costs by 300$/month last year. We are still below average rents in our area by 300-500$/month

Shopify's made the Life Story a major part of their interview process for over a decade now, it doesn't as if they'd ever had problems attracting talent. [1] I think you might be in the minority if you feel that highlights from someone's past are irrelevant predictors in their future performance and that asking about them in an interview is inappropriate.

Personally, I'm really glad I didn't "get up and walk out of the interview" when they asked me to talk about my youth, it ended up being one of my favorite internships and helped position me towards a career in big tech :)

Matching the 60° FOV of a 27" monitor at close distance, it's equivalent to 1080p or less. It gets even worse at FOVs equivalent to more reasonable distances.
Another trend on similar lines is putting cutesy / jokey text in mobile app changelogs. The people who don’t care what changed likely have automatic updates switched on anyway and it would be nice for the people who do care to actually know what changed.

Most Chinese factories in 2023, due to way less orders and needing to clear out their over inventory, had to cut their margins dramatically. thus, more shipped out, but making way less. They won't be able to do that in 2024, with factory shutdowns due to no margins and no more inventory. and that's why:

- Chinese stock market has dropped 11% this year, with 3 year cumulative loss of 6 trillion in 3 years https://www.cnn.com/2024/01/23/investing/china-stock-market-...

- Chinese economy is suffering from deflation

- China’s youth unemployment rate hit consecutive record highs in recent months. From April to June, the jobless rate for 16- to 24-year-olds reached 20.4%, 20.8% and 21.3% respectively
I don’t like PayPal but I am impressed by their ability to stay popular. I think the first “don’t use this company, they’ll help scammers screw you” horror story I heard was before the turn of the century, and it’s not like they didn’t have competition at any point but they managed to get locked into a lot of people’s minds as the best option.
I also had one, it was a great CPU for those days. But several generations passed, games want more performance from CPU and GPU, I retired that 2700 in a server that sees less utilization.

For the past 30 years the best CPU of a few years ago can have less performance than the low end of today, that is evolution.

this 100% - you technically can't even ask someone how they are doing on an interview as that's not job related

I could definitely see arguments for asking these sorts of questions in how they could be job related but not worth the legal risk

I did some debugging of a embedded RTOS program under DOS. I had compiler switches so I could compile it for the target or DOS. The latter was way easier to debug.
I live in the north north east (Canada).

Our house had an oil furnace, we added an air source heat pump. There are periods in the winter where the heat pump can't keep up, but in the months early and late winter it's all we need. The net result is that it has significantly reduced our oil consumption. Add to that fact it's an A/C unit in the summer, and it's wins all the way around.

Checks out. Most of the difficulty in search is dealing with the data volume. The logic itself is surprisingly easy, or it can be. Of course you can complicate it endlesssly, but this project successfully cuts most of the fluff...

So with that in mind, approaching the problem not as one of how to make the search engine bigger, but the data smaller (physically or better signal/noise ratio) goes a very long way.
beeboobaa is saying basically the opposite: that they have RSS detection enabled, but many fewer sites/publishers have RSS or have the autodiscovery tag for it, and they're saying that's an understandable effect of the browsers no longer supporting it.
I've participated in month-long reviews where nobody's time was wasted. That's extremely rare, mind you, but if you're accustomed to low-quality code and a "break shit fast" attitude, you might be inclined to mistake that for a universal rule of software development.

In fact, if you put quality first, the "only thing" you can do with a long PR is actually do the work. And the more accustomed you and your team become with actually doing work, the more productive you'll be.
You’re making great points about the software/engineering industry and I don’t disagree about any of those specifics — engineering culture is paramount. I was just trying to point to (what I see as) the root cause: the engineering culture at Boeing didn’t fall apart because it’s run by lazy millennials or because the managers hadn’t read Mythical Man Month, it’s because they spent their money on stock buybacks and executive compensation.

Funnily enough, I went looking for Boeing stock buyback info and found this article… seems my hypothesis has some specific backing in this case!

Yep, but I guess that's exactly what the OP was complaining about. It was just badly stated.

You don't get tempted to talk in terms of "we" when you are doing software that is controlled by its user. But policing the language won't achieve anything either.

Doubling the bus width means more wiring and probably more PCB layers than offering two slots per channel.

Right now, using DDR5 SODIMMs instead of LPDDR5 would throw away half of the benefits of doubling the bus width, so that's a non-starter. Using CAMM style modules may allow for full-speed operation, but those have almost zero adoption so far and I think it's too soon to tell how widespread they'll become.

Whatever option for connecting the DRAM, doubling the bus width doubles the amount of DRAM the OEMs must populate the system with, adding another cost on top of the more expensive SoC and MLB.

i remember talking to a former colleague who wrote a game to let people train to control their prosthetic arm at home. I asked him what the most wished for feature / most asked question for this prosthetic arm was and he told me that the most asked for question was if (mostly female) users could put nail polish on its "nails".

Anecdata, but I assume most users just want to have a life-like replacement.
> and those who didn't like using computers hated it even more when forced to write out an assignment on a keyboard as supposed to handwriting.

> but when you need to go back and re-open 4, 5 merged PRs in different tabs to get the full context again, the time to review increases tenfold with tiny PRs

You can't really say much about the first 4 PRs because if you don't know how that code is going to be used, it's kind of hard to giving meaningful feedback. By PR 5, it's too late to give feedback on PRs 1-4.

I also have worked with people that prefer that but I never understood it. Code without context isn't reviewable imo
Just use your brain to PR a feature or some sub-piece of a feature instead of this arbitrary shit.

gPodder's still alive and kicking. 'course, it's the type of old-school open source app for which the features which appeal to its existing userbase, like "uses your system's default media player instead of a builtin one", are likely to be viewed as anti-features by newcomers.

but yeah, gnome and kde both have their official podcatchers ("Podcasts" and "Kasts" respectively), and there's a bazillion floating around on Github; i'm sure some of them are distributed to fdroid or wherever. if you don't care about syncing between devices, getting notifications for new episodes, etc, and aren't opinionated about the UI, anything you find with a non-zero install base should do the job. otherwise you just gotta try em out and decide for yourself.

I ran your query on GPT3.5 and GPT4. GPT3.5 gave similar output to your post but GPT4 was much better. Output:

In your story, you can introduce a diverse set of characters, each with their own unique background and story. Here's a brief description of possible characters that could be found in the abducted prison camp on the alien ship:

> Kaito Tanaka: A young man in his early 30s, Kaito has a light skin tone that contrasts with his dark, almost black hair. Born and raised in Tokyo, Japan, he is a computer programmer by profession. Kaito is known for his quick thinking and resourcefulness, traits that he finds increasingly useful in the challenging environment of the alien ship.

> Emiko Sato: Emiko is a middle-aged woman with a medium skin tone and greying hair, which she often ties back in a traditional bun. A native of Kyoto, she was a history teacher, specializing in Japanese culture and heritage. Emiko's deep knowledge of her country's past gives her strength and a unique perspective on their current predicament.

> Hiroshi Nakamura: With his fair skin and youthful appearance, Hiroshi is a college student from Osaka, studying abroad when he was abducted. His energy and optimism bring a glimmer of hope to the otherwise grim atmosphere of the prison camp.

>Yui Fujimoto: Yui has a medium-fair skin tone and stands out with her vibrant red hair, a color she chose to dye it before her abduction. A professional violinist from Sapporo, her music is a solace to her fellow abductees, providing a much-needed escape from their reality.

> Kenji Watanabe: An elderly man with deep-set wrinkles and a gentle demeanor, Kenji's skin is weathered from years of working outdoors in his small fishing village in Okinawa. His life experiences have made him wise and patient, qualities that make him a natural leader among the abductees.

> Naomi Kobayashi: Naomi is a nurse from Nagoya with a caring and compassionate nature. Her light skin and soft features, coupled with her calm and reassuring presence, make her an invaluable member of the abducted community, especially in times of crisis.
