You need to distrust ChatGPT if you want to use if effectively. I'm paying for the 4.0 version, I know that it will hallucinate BS, yet I also think it's a fantastic tool that will get some things done faster than any other way.

There's its ability to write small one-off scripts for me. I've given it an example of a structured log file and told it to "write a pyparser script to parse this string" and it will do that. What would take me a hour to learn pyparser and get somewhere now takes a few minutes. You can literally see it iterate on different solutions until it comes up with something acceptable. (ChatGPT 3.5 doesn't do that.)

Another great use case is as an assistant when I'm learning some new topic.

I was reading A Mathematical Theory of Communications, the breakthrough thesis by Claude Shannon. It's quite accessible, but there are always points where you don't quite understand a point that is being made and you want to get more examples. I can ask ChatGPT to create a concrete example, use actual numbers, plot a graph that illustrates the concept. And it will do that, along with the Python script that it used to create the graph so I can double check what it did. "Create an Eb/No graph for the following parameters." And then ask to modify the graph to illustrate a particular point. Google can deliver similar information, but it will push me a document that contains the answer, along with a truckload of info that I wasn't looking for. ChatGPT pulls just the info that I'm looking for.

Or lately I was looking into Laplace transformations, low pass filters, pole/zero plots etc. ChatGPT 4.0 uses the SymPy symbolic math package to derive the math, I can once again examine the scripts, ask for concrete examples with graphs and so forth. It's way more efficient than doing the same thing with Google, which will usually send you StackExchange with an answer that is not quite what you're looking for.

In these kind of cases, I know enough math and subject knowledge to know when it's bullshitting, but it doesn't have to be 100% accurate to a huge help in learning.

The Aus version went offline for a while so I built this quickly. The day I launched it came back online haha. Oh well, was a fun experience.

Initially was static html (generated by python) but that was leading to large page sizes, so I transitioned to ag-grid, which worked surprisingly well.
At what point does l33tbro use the term "wokeness?"
I do this from my phone with crummy copper ADSL at home that gets <20Mbps in the uplink and don't notice the difference between it being on and being off. YMMV of course, and all I'm doing is basic web browsing, occasional youtube videos and chat apps but it's fine for that.
Sounds like the United States of America.

> iPhones are in no way “easier to use” than Android phones

Sorry, this is just delusional. Android has no unified standard for how the OS is implemented between devices. Every time you get a new android phone, you need to relearn new UI quirks specific to that device. I honestly don't know how someone could claim with a straight face that Android is easier to use than iPhone.
Maybe you should check it out if you are into data science, or operations research? What do you think about it?
This is an artifact of Google's policy to vendor every. single. dependency. Ironically, it makes building their stuff from source an absolute pain; if you think a vendored Python is bad, try building Android and post about it when it's done tomorrow.
"Just" is doing a lot of work in that sentence. That sounds like a lot of work, and it isn't always obvious which weirdly-spelled domain is causing the issue.

> EU coal and gas collapse as wind and solar ascend

Ascend to heaven.
Yes, people have started to install solar panels on old houses.
And preparing to cut old, (renewable), forests to install wind, but at the same time they are promoting gas as the next energy source.
I feel like the speculated replacement was random guests and not an event.

It's a good thing XMPP-with-extensions clients which are very well suited for that usecase exist then.
You can avoid any CO2 production in the iron production process via replacing the natural gas inputs to the Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) method with hydrogen. To compare DRI with carbon vs only hydrogen:

with carbon and hydrogen from natural gas/coal gasification:
CH4 + CO2 -> 2CO + 2H2
Fe2O3 + 3CO -> 2Fe + 3CO2 (exothermic in >50% H2 environment)

with water-sourced hydrogen:
2H2O -> O2 + 2H2
Fe2O3 + 3H2 -> 2Fe + 3H2O (endothermic, requires energy input)

There are two issues with using hydrogen, which can be overcome:

>"The energy balance of the shaft furnace is affected by the absence of the exothermic carbon monoxide reduction. . . Thus, it is necessary to add energy to the shaft furnace to carry heat in the burden."

>"The second issue is the resulting DRI carbon content; the DRI will have 0% carbon with pure hydrogen. The majority of DRI is used in EAFs, and EAF steelmaking practice generally employs carbon addition... Under current melting practices, it will be necessary to add hydrocarbons at some place in the process to achieve the desired carbon level... However, this added carbon will then be converted to CO2 in the EAF... Alternatively, carbon from a renewable source (like biomass) could be used."

Don't GPUs also have out of order execution and instruction level parallelism?

I think the reason why Nvidia publishes these resources is because the GPUs are worth nothing if people can't get a reasonable fraction of the advertisable FLOPs with reasonable effort. CUDA wouldn't have taken off, if it were harder than it absolutely needs to be.
You can have a tech vocabulary but not know what a secured property is for example. Maybe a non native would know the word secure and the word property and make an erroneous assumption.

It’s probably the biggest purchase in your life so it makes sense you want to know all details.
The 4 last old nuclear plants which were switched off last year wouldn't have been switched to coal if it wasn't for Putin's war of aggression in Ukraine.

Coal in Germany will end in 2030 anyway and the renewables are built at a pace to support that.
I’m also confused. If a laptop is stolen while off, can this attack still be applied?
Tbf its really not that big of a deal.

First people have to be taught to use it, for that 3.5 is decent.

I guess its like your grandma using Google, vs as a working professional using Google.

Your grandma using google is still a plus.
Before their Conde Nast acquisitions, I used to visit both Ars Technica and Reddit reasonably often, both were sites were eventually stripped of their personality to the point where I no longer bother with either.
The biggest problem is not the difficulty of using, but the impossibility of using. The issue is not so much that features are difficult to find/access, but that the most basic of features don't exist anywhere at all.

It's not that they didn't like Childish Gambino (I don't either), but rather that the idea that Pitchfork had long since sold its soul for access was already floating out there in the air years before the Conde buyout.

On the other hand, "If you buy only one hip-hop album this year, I’m guessing it’ll be Camp." is a sick burn.
Modern CPUs being able to run 30 year old binaries as-is is pretty different than a GPU requiring a driver to compile byte code into machine code at runtime.
Even the free GPT-3.5 is better at smaller European languages than Mixtral/Mistral-Medium.

However I think it's a typo when the article says GPT-3.5. It doesn't make sense to "buy" GPT-3.5. They probably meant ChatGPT Plus which includes GPT-4 access (50 messages in a rolling 3 hour window).
Personally feel teachers will be the first to lose their jobs. 100%

True but I think the coffee machine definition of 4-5oz per coffee “cup” usually also assumes a stronger European strength of coffee which is quite concentrated. Most Americans seem to make coffee larger but more watered down, so it could be back to a 10oz mug is 1 or 1.5 cup equivalents.
Many companies also still rock Fujitsu or Unisys mainframes - IBM isn't the only player in this town. But at least Fujitsu's mainframe EOL is in 2035, so that won't be more than historical trivia soon.
Correct. We don't have a lot of people up here, so any individual person who gets hired to a job has to be ready to wear many hats. To my understanding this is even more true in Norway than in my adoptive home of Finland (sounds exciting, my wife and I are strongly considering moving).

Technologies like GPT-4, much like Google search before it, vastly increase the number of things we can do acceptably well without needing to study it in depth beforehand - letting us save those extra brain cells for where they really count.
And they paid in slaves?!
I would agree with you that overall demand is likely to shift towards short-term flexible office space and away from long term leases, I just don't understand why large real estate holders will leave that piece of the pie there for third parties to arbitrage, unless they're genuinely desperate, and I don't think they'll become that genuinely desperate because the government will act to shore them up because of how critical central business district real estate values are in general to so many things.

I see large real estate holders spinning up WW-like departments and following the WW model but I don't see a company that doesn't itself _own_ the real estate being able to prosper. WW managed to cultivate a very trendy atmosphere and all the associated types piled in accordingly but that only lasts for a while; sooner or later you run out of cash to burn.

I have no idea why SoftBank threw money at WW like they thought they had to spend it all before the world ended, I'm not sure that they really know either.
It's not just WordPress. A company I used to work for has tens of thousands of lines of jQuery code powering their enterprise SAAS product.

A rewrite in a modern JS framework is just not going to happen unless it becomes absolutely necessary. Much of this code is extremely client-specific stuff written over a decade ago. The argument that using a modern framework helps recruiting doesn't work - the company only pays $75-90k for frontend engineers and has very low turnover, most current engineers have been there 5+ years. And most importantly, their current stack works just fine; they have a bunch of long-time clients who are happy.

A good chunk of software engineering happens in "boring" businesses like this in cities with a much lower cost-of-living than the big tech industry hubs like the Bay Area / Seattle / etc.
Agreed, though for children there’s an argument that you could have a descendent that solves climate change with some technical achievement or discovery. Seems like a long-shot though, so I wouldn’t take that bet.

To reiterate, there’s “no one simple trick” you can personally do to affect climate change. No mainstream action is worth a damn. That’s kind of the definition of a systemic issue.
You can compare anything to anything to see how they differ and not.

Stalin obviously wanted to be a dictator before he became one. Trump has said he wants to be dictator on Day 1, and today his lawyers have lost a case in court where they argued that Trump should be immune from being prosecuted for anything he did while in the office. Luckily for us they lost the case. But appeals are surely coming.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-68026175

Trump is arguing nobody could charge him with anything, if he cancelled elections and even murdered his opponents, like Putin seems to be doing. And we know he likes and admires Putin.

Stalin was a dictator but not always. There was a time when he merely wanted to be a dictator. Trump is not a dictator at the moment, but clearly he would like to become one. He has instructed his lawyers to argue in court he should be given the power to be above the law, to be immune from any prosecution.

The heaviest building ever moved on wheels

Between September 30 and October 27, 1975, the church was moved a distance of 841.1 meters at a velocity of 13 centimeters per minute to the vicinity of the old hospital, and it was set on an iron-concrete two-storied foundation. A small church of St. Ghost was also moved during October. After the move was completed, restoration work went on until 1988, and the church was solemnly blessed again in 1993.
Germany plans to build dozens of new gas peaker plants. That's a big problem of renewables: you have to keep a huge backup infrastructure. So while your usage of gas and coal goes down, you still have to spend huge sums on the infrastructure - grid, backup, etc. The generation is very cheap, but trying to go 100% renewables is very expensive.

No one wanted to build the gas plants so now Germany decided to pay not for generated electricity but for available capacity. Sadly, the final nuclear reactors where shut down last year.
Coal usage is on the downturn in almost all countries, India aside. Global Coal demand appears to have peaked and will decline from this point forward.

From the International Energy Agency:

Global coal supply likely peaked in 2023 and then to decline

https://www.iea.org/reports/coal-2023/supply

International Energy Agency Global Coal Report December 2023 (released Friday 15th December 2023)

Global coal production is forecast to have risen by 1.8% in 2023, with continued growth in India, China and Indonesia more than offsetting declines in the United States and the European Union.

Thus, 2023 marks another all-time high in global coal production, totalling 8 741 Mt. [...]

For the forecast period, we expect a net reduction in global coal production starting in 2024, which would mean global coal production peaking in 2023 in line with global coal demand.

Ongoing declines in the United States and the European Union are likely to be complemented by reduced production volumes in Indonesia, as Chinese demand for seaborne thermal coal is likely to decrease.

The last bastion of remarkable growth in production is India, serving the growing demand from its power sector.

Our model suggests that declines in other countries will more than offset this growth, resulting in global production of 8 394 Mt in 2026.
We address this by not using helm, and not using terraform for anything in the cluster. Kustomize doesn't do everything you'd want from a DRY perspective, but at least the output is pure YAML with no surprises.

We upgrade everything once a quarter. Usually takes about four hours per cluster. Occasionally we run into something that's deprecated and we lose another day, but not more than once a year.
You can build a code interpreter pretty quickly. In fact I made one that would debug itself back then using gpt-3.
Even if it were true what you're saying, z16 for example targets different needs. Can you scale up to seven or eight nines, and even if you could - could you for same price? That's 3 seconds or 300 milliseconds of downtime per year, reliably. Along with predictable high performance (vertical), hotswap anything including memory, resilience with hardware under provisioning, etc. That's what these beasts are for.

This is only a minor invest compared to the financial support they provide for the students already. I tried to google the exact amount of funding they get. The best I came up with is a 8890 USD loan per year where 40% of it will be converted to a grant once they receive their degree.

I'm a doctor and I've been following this saga for a while. What you wrote does not match my experience. Firstly, you overestimate our political reach by a large margin. If you can have acceptable service for massively cheaper, it will happen regardless of any lobbying. What _is_ true, is that AI systems outperform docs for very select, often trivial situations (e.g. routine chest X-ray). I don't believe this would shrink the market for radiologists significantly. Secondly, the non-trivial work is exceedingly difficult to automate, because those cases currently have a prevalence to complexity ratio that make them impossible to train for. The US are making great strides towards that kind of thing, though. But not available yet.
A significant amount of research output from life science labs right now is descriptive single cell RNA sequencing papers. It is perhaps the single largest present genre of basic science research, and it is sucking all the air out of the room.

I agree this article is pretty vague about criticizing this research. It doesn't name RNA sequencing.
I'm 23. I'm not sure how long your commute is, but I know that driving takes a mental toll no matter how long.

I'm enrolled full-time in school while also being full-time employed. Most of my time spent outside of work during the week is spent studying for my courses. Thankfully, however, these are all interesting and align with my goals.

Other than that, I simply take time that I would spend watching a movie or playing a game and assign it to project work. I, however, do personal projects in bursts where I'm fixated on it for over a week or two and have a period of dormancy before I continue back down another rabbit hole.

I'm not sure how your sleep is, but that was one of the biggest detractors from my motivation to actually do anything more than the bare minimum to function. I'd say I was chronically overslept for two years or more. Since I've refocused and improved my sleep, despite working a full-time job, I find it 1000 orders of magnitude easier to do more than the bare minimum. Maybe look there and see?
In the US maybe? Here there's still a lot of diversity. People using their provider's email service. People using local ones like gmx in Germany. Hotmail, live and outlook.com. Even some non techies using their own domain (and of course all the techies do). Most people with their own business use that domain. Proton seems to be a rising star too.

Gmail is the biggest but not the only one by far. The privacy movement getting more traction here than in the US might be playing into that too.

I thought so too before reading these comments. I'm surprised how much people think jQuery still provides everything you need for a modern webapp. I have to step back and realize that my world has been working on millions+ LOC apps with hundreds of simultaneously committing devs, vs a lot of jQuery devs committing to personal-sized projects or blog-like web pages. Totally different solutions for different problems. I'd still pick vanilla es6+ vs jQuery for smaller stuff, but I get why some might not.
The video shows we need to turn people around and have them fix their own countries. There is something to be said for that.

"Etiquette" implies there is some civilizing force. A system that allows us to coexist in peaceful, accessible sanity.

Someone said of a profitable app/site I created with vanilla JS, "But this is looks like it is just a Bootstrap site"

At this point, functionality be damned, customers expect a loading spinner. The norm is something that doesn't load on the first request. Sites don't paint the screen until 10 seconds later, because they are avoiding repaints. Maybe 10-20mb of JS is included in the typical app in this niche. Many totally fail on Firefox. Ambiguous user facing errors on a black screen, "An application client side error occurred" are par for the course.
Too bad for you. I'm glad for them they don't have to deal with you as a customer.
The difference is that (a) that bit in OCaml has a purpose, while disregarding 0x80..00 hasn't; and (b) I assume that it was in OCaml from the beginning, so it wouldn't break existing software in probably very interesting ways (hence the suggestion that this should be done only "in the privacy of their own bedrooms with new types", i.e. not for already-used types)...
I, for one, stopped at "Oslo acquires ChatGPT for 110k...", in remorse for having missed the opportunity to buy it myself at that price
