Site similar to topcoder software development coding challenges
Since are ended the good old days with a lot of software development coding competitions at topcoder, someone know a site similar to https://www.topcoder.com/challenges?tracks[DS]=true&tracks[Des]=true&tracks[Dev]=true&tracks[QA]=true&types[]=CH&types[]=F2F&types[]=TSK

where is possible to partecipate in coding competition in real world project with prizes ?
I've yet to encounter a cutesy name for an organization's employees that isn't cringey, but ooof, when it's used in layoffs it feels so tone deaf. I really wish the name fad would pass.
Better than GPT4 on my tests. I also prefer the way it responds and it is also a bit quicker for me.
How about “grammarlions”? Fierce!
It doesn't matter what I could. I did not make videos so that I can look at them myself. :) But nice trick for viewing other's videos.
What are some specific tech examples where Gemini won't answer?
Been learning frontend and this is a big issue. The free component libraries still seem very low level, and there’s almost no guidance on going from zero knowledge to something passable.

I suppose this is the TailwindUI value proposition.
Oh! I want aware of that! Thanks, have to look into it
None of them are very good in practice. Databases exist for just this sort of job.

On a good day it is great to ski out east (particularly spring conditions) but it is not always a good day. An alumni club I am in is thinking about scheduling a ski trip to the local ski area in the next few weekends, it is 30 min away or so and only $65 but conditions might be terrible.

That submission was a link to the (uninformative) signup page, and the discussion is mostly about the link being uninformative and/or not working. This one is at least an announcement :)
While technically true, you could say that about all riddles. See GPT-4's explanation here, which intuits the rule and answers the riddle correctly. https://chat.openai.com/share/b1452950-b493-4e27-b097-e64f21...

> Autodesk begat an entire ecosystem from scratch. Dealer channels, third party add-ons and utilities, conferences, magazines, curriculum, consultants, custom graphics cards (and drivers), huge CRTS, crazy variety of input hardware (pen tablets and chorded keyboards), etc, etc.

Yes. When AutoCAD came out, personal computers were expensive, exotic, fragile devices. Especially when they needed a big graphics-capable CRT, a mouse, a pen input tablet, and a large pen plotter. Dealers had to be set up to sell and service all that gear. An architect whose update device had previously been a powered eraser and a blueprint machine needed some handholding to computerize with confidence. Customers needed someone local they could call when it broke. Much of early Autodesk involved setting up that infrastructure.

If you haven't heard of it, maybe give MacroFactor a look (not affiliated, just a happy user). It is the only food log and weight tracker that I've used with success. On the weight tracking side, it also requires daily weigh-ins and tracks your trend weight over time. Combining that with the calories you log, it determines your TDEE and adjusts your calories and macros from week to week depending on the goal you want to achieve.

> What would you want us to build?

A simple BUY button - take away all the mess for me as "end-user" who just want a board (I don't want to spend hours of BOM files, jlpcb, soldout parts etc.) - take away the mess for the creator of building a community around a design, monetize it, etc etc.

> Mendenhall said people are pointing at Measure 110 and saying it's the reason for Oregon's problems, "when in reality it is our decades-long, underbuilt system of behavioral health, substance use disorders, shelter and affordable housing – that are the primary drivers."

Ok, sure but if you can't expect the decades-long, underbuilt system of behavioral health to change quickly they may have to rollback/repeal measure 110.

I'm glad measure 110 allowed them to build a 16 bed detox center, but it seems like building those is also a "decades-long" process (?). A quote in the article indicates that one person "drove 250 miles from Eastern Oregon to Recovery Works because it's where she was able to get a bed". I am happy that she was able to get treatment but this also seams to indicate that the treatment options are underbuilt.

The other major problem is getting people to make the decision to voluntarily use them. I don't know how they solve that...

I can't exactly recommend it because I haven't used it since 15 years and it surely must have evolved since.
I heavily use Chat GPT's API in my day job, as it is the core of our business (Ai-powered startup). When Gemini Pro launched, me and my team tested it in the same day for our product, but we where disappointed as it is was a bit worse than gpt 3.5 (at least in the same prompts that we already had). I really hope that Gemini Ultra surpass gpt4, it is always exciting to see and use new advanced tech, but I'm still a little skeptical about it, since Pro wasn't that great...
I guess by PC they mean Windows, or they also support BSD now?
I also think that copyright limits art and its spread to only what is profitable. Few people currently care about art that doesn't make any money. A world without copyright would be a world where people appreciate art for what it expresses, not how many dollars it rakes in.

It's also worth noting that copyright applies outside of artistic endeavors, such as software. I think this is a pure hindrance to technical progress. Imagine if it was illegal for your friend to fix your car without the manufacturers consent. That is the world we live in with software copyright right now. It's absurd. People should be charging to write software (real scarcity: labor) not distribute it (artificial scarcity: licenses).
If you're doing a lot of stack-thinking, you're doing it wrong. Perhaps your words are too big and doing too much.

What's the problem with using one app for all audio files?

I don't see why a user should be forced to use different apps depending on the type of the audio content.

This is also the first time Bard is available in Canada from what I can see.
IMO podcasts have nothing to do with music, and the fact that people expect one app to do both is entirely Spotify's fault!
Which sounds as unlikely as Jesus dying for my sins on the cross, a very strange thing that falls down upon scrutiny, which also happens to be something I have faith in!

To someone who engages with theology, beyond a happy little bedtime story to make me feel comfortable with my own demise, the Simulationists are in the same ballpark, but without the test of time and some important calls to an almost unattainable set of criteria to live by, best expressed in the Beatitudes.

If pressed I am probably more engaged by an agnostic understanding of the Abrahamic religions, but I can’t help to feel the overwhelming truth, love and warmth of all of existence radiate from the verses of the Bible, Old and New.

My Jesuit theological trainings have led me to appreciate all other religions, to see the same love and energy in the multitudes of practice and expression, like the light in the center of a lamp, throwing subtlety different shadows on the walls from the inconsistencies in the making of the glass panes by human hands.

Perhaps with time the Simulationists will end up with their own window into the glory of our existence! I will welcome such a transformation with open arms.

I want to follow in Christ’s footsteps because it would make me a better person, no matter the fact that the struggle will never end. With God’s grace I am at least given the chance to try, fail and be forgiven for the limits of my human nature.

The emphasis should be on the practice of humility, compassion, understanding, and forgiveness. The particular expression is in the realm of mere mortals and is as beautiful as any other artistic creation.

I expect downvotes, but that’s OK. Father, forgive them; they know not what they do. (Luke 23:34)

I tend to use media (games, chats, dating apps, social media, etc.) excessively (for 4-8h a day)

However, since I never miss them when I have better things to do, it never fits the definition of addiction.

On the other hand, I also don't drink, smoke, or consumer caffein without a purpose, so maybe I just don't tend to get addicted.
Savvy observation. I meant to say discrete, though there's a healthy bit of irony in the typo
You put a smile on my face. Especially your "DuckRabbit" ;)
You're describing technology transfer from the US to Taiwan. Which is absolutely true and happened. But the literal fact that the US can't build what Taiwan builds shows it's currently a literal transfer in the Other direction.

What I don't understand, is how thr initial US transfer to Taiwan negates the technology transfer I'm describing here? It doesn't.

I think you lack objectivity. Your American pride is getting in the way. Same with the downvoters I guess.

My comment has nothing to do with whether or not Taiwan or the US deserves or does not deserve to be a participant or victim in this "technology transfer" it's just a statement about reality.
Begun, the clone wars have.
Also, perverse incentives arise spontaneously all the time. Business types love talking about this, they will talk your ear off about it, but only from the angle that looks to exploit them as tactics or strategic moats with studiously suppressed consideration for the first order effects let alone second or third. If you so much as hint that you think maybe there ought to be a countervailing force somewhere, suddenly COBRA EFFECT HOW DARE YOU COMMUNIST CENTRAL PLANNING ECONOMIC ILLITERATE FILTH! It leaves me with the distinct impression that nobody really believes in the system, let alone "warts and all," and instead just grabs the nearest self-serving principle off the shelf to rationalize whatever they want to do.

No that's not what is being said. The laws of physics are a mental model. There is something they map on to, but we can only form an incomplete map. They're a reduction in order to understand, and thus as much as they're formed by our observations, they're equally informed by our biases and limitations.
Spotify podcasts were what made me jump ship to Apple Music. At least back then, Spotify would heavily prioritize their podcasts in the UI. Podcasts were front and center on the main screen. I don't just mean the desktop or mobile UI, but in Apple CarPlay and Android Auto too, where screen space and attention are at a premium. I had to keep fighting the UI to get to what I was paying Spotify for: the music. When I tried out Apple Music and saw that it was music only, it was easy to leave Spotify because their priorities were no longer aligned with mine.

I don't actually understand why missiles are so expensive. You can buy an off-the-shelf turbojet engine for $1,000, and cheap toy drones are equipped with sophisticated guidance electronics. I'd have thought it shouldn't be hard to build a cruise missile with INS for under $20,000.
Apple TV is also somehow hot garbage

I don't understand. These are "just" media players and all split up to do one thing each. How do they all do that one thing so miserably. TV hangs for multiple seconds every single time I download or delete episodes of TV shows and the player is so incredibly bad and doesn't save your progress properly
How about this one ?

Same, I had to look to see what the intended answer was.

In fairness though, GPT4 was objectively incorrect, it's not even internally consistent or coherent - it either thinks b & h are vowels, or that lamb and squash don't end in those letters, or has changed its mind about the rule mid-sentence, or something.
Great example! Thanks for sharing. I tested the same prompt using a variety of GPT-4 model versions and it consistently got the answer wrong. When I continued with "use algebra/formulas to confirm your answer" it corrected the initial mistake, but I'm surprised that it's not doing that out of the box.
Using the Joint European Torus (JET) — a huge, donut-shaped machine known as a tokamak — the scientists sustained a record 69 megajoules of fusion energy for five seconds, using just 0.2 milligrams of fuel.

To generate fusion energy, the team raised temperatures in the machine to 150 million degrees Celsius — around 10 times hotter than the core of the sun.

And myriad challenges remain. Khan points out that the team used more energy to carry out the experiment than it generated, for example.
I reran a few of the queries that Bard had failed on in Gemini/Ultra and didn't see any improvement. Made the same, or new, logical errors, hallucinated facts, failed to recognize things I was describing etc. It did do better on recognizing an image I uploaded but it went from accurate to nonsensical in the same response.
I’m sure they’ll sell, and people know about it, but by “ignoring it” I was referring to the whole virtual reality goggles market, which while it’s ahead of the VirtualBoy just hasn’t really made anything near even “Apple Watch” waves, let alone smartphone waves.

This is true, but the vascular nature of both does at least suggest causality; if there's any chance of making some progress on this appalling disease then that must be pursued.
Did they really invest in Rogan and podcasts just to keep their existing customers? I thought it was to entice podcast connoisseurs to the Spotify platform, who WILL care about podcast listening experience?

Prompt: Spell the word lollipop backwards.

Gemini: The word "lollipop" spelled backwards is: popillol I hope this sweet treat of a word brightens your day!

I'm impressed. However, it still fails on "How many words are in your response to this?".
"The West" refers to everything west of the Appalachian Mountains or the Mississippi River. It comes from the early eras of the USA when those portions of the country were unexplored and perceived to be "wild". This is related to why the "Midwest" starts at Ohio.

I'm not impressed. When comparing Gemini/Bard to ChatGPT + GPTs, Bard/Gemini feel more like a search engine. I asked Gemini for help in planning a date with my date, who is famous enough that GPT4 knows her and her art. However, Gemini immediately started giving me step-by-step instructions to plan the date. I had to tell it to slow down and ask me questions first before giving an answer. It complied this time, but after the Q&A, it provided nearly the same response as before, without any personalization. Next, I asked about my artist friend, but Gemini had no clue. I even said, "come on, you have to know her," but it simply repeated that it didn't know her. Another issue I encountered was with images. I tried sending a few, but Gemini couldn't describe them. I spend around 8-10 hours a day playing with LLMs, but so far, I'm not impressed.
The really challenging part when you're building an OS comes from not building an incrementally bigger and bigger mess until you're stuck and can't make any progress any more.

You're right, there's no magic here. It's just lots and lots of work. And there are important decisions to be made about how you design and abstract everything. None of them are hard, but making so many decisions is the very thing that's hard about most programming.

The answer of course is to have lots of programming experience. Which is why building an actual OS to the level of SerenityOS is not something a reasonably skilled graduate would be able to do.
Why do we want to fill them back in anyway? A new valley/hole doesn't seem like the biggest priority.
You can (and a less corrupt industrialized country's government sometimes will) require that they give you the money [or lock it into a fund they don't control] before they get permission to make the hole bigger. You need government inspections (so they can't make it bigger without permission) to make this possible, but those are needed for safety anyway.

If you let them, they'll eventually walk away leaving you with a toxic mess and a hole in your budget. The same thing applies for a government securing clean-up funding or a musician securing royalties from a label/ publisher, make sure you get paid first, if you're supposedly getting paid last it will always turn out that whoops, there is no money left, thanks for making us rich, bye.
Even weirder is that it's only bundled with 2TB of storage. If you have more than that you cannot upgrade without losing storage space.

I removed that statement but:

> Humans are not important, we are a fault to this world.

> This alone makes human a little special, no?

No, not really. We build militant armies only to send them off to fight so we can cause brutality to the same race for all but nothing other than evil and greed.

At least animals are mauling in for survival. You could say power too but at least they eat the remains.
I tested it immediately, but it is disappointing. At least here in Switzerland, it is not able to generate images, and a simple "look up this website and summarise the content" does not work either (can't access the website, but its a public website without any crawling limitations). I don't understand why Google is launching a product like this.
"observation" in terms of quantum mechanics doesn't require a conscious observer, only some interaction which affects the result. From the Wikipedia page on the observer effect[0] and a cited quote therein from Werner Heisenberg[1].

Despite the "observer effect" in the double-slit experiment being caused by the presence of an electronic detector, the experiment's results have been interpreted by some to suggest that a conscious mind can directly affect reality.[3] However, the need for the "observer" to be conscious (versus merely existent, as in a unicellular microorganism) is not supported by scientific research, and has been pointed out as a misconception rooted in a poor understanding of the quantum wave function ψ and the quantum measurement process.

"Of course the introduction of the observer must not be misunderstood to imply that some kind of subjective features are to be brought into the description of nature. The observer has, rather, only the function of registering decisions, i.e., processes in space and time, and it does not matter whether the observer is an apparatus or a human being; but the registration, i.e., the transition from the "possible" to the "actual," is absolutely necessary here and cannot be omitted from the interpretation of quantum theory." - Werner Heisenberg, Physics and Philosophy, p. 137[1]
