I think you should listen to Robocat here.

There are plenty of “nerdy”, average/unattractive, and/or “non-white” men etc, etc who have meaningful relationships with women, and some of these women are even smart and/or beautiful. I know a number of these relationships myself and the common denominator that I see between all of them is that there is respect between both parties.

I just want to quote a couple of things you’ve posted.

>Millions of modern educated women seem to be engaging in casual sex with a relatively small number of highly-attractive-looking hyper-sexual men (who probably sleep with someone every night "spinning plates" so to speak).

> …the top 20% and especially the top 5% live like one of the Sultans of the Ottoman Empire, with women ready to deliver themselves to their door for intimacy.

> But the so-called "Chad cock carouse|" has taken such a sheer number of women out of marriage and dating market, that millions of amazing men are left single, sexless, and unable to marry…

>These are the sorts of high quality men that many of these sexually-liberated women “claim they want”…

> ("Chad") men (many who are low income or professionally-unsuccessful) end up having harems of 3 to 5 women, hence massively shrinking the number of women available.

>Why would women do this, rather that have a deep loving relationship with a man who can give her 100% of himself to her (and build a family with that guy)? I have no idea.
It certainly isn't a good thing.

> But then you've got millions of these women who priories the dopamine or serotonin (or oxytocin or whatever) hit of sleeping with various Chads, and the end result is the breakdown of families, and the future of civil society.

Even with all the absolutes and exaggerated claims in your statements, the biggest issue I see in your posts is the way you talk about women.

Look at the words you use. “Claim to want”, “why would women do this”, “millions of these women who priories the dopamine or serotonin [to have sex] with various Chads… result[ing in]… the breakdown of families, and the future of civil society,” “harems of women,” “shrinking the number of women available,” “with women ready to deliver themselves to their door for intimacy.”

Your words paint women as irrational, fickle and emotional beings who cannot reason and don’t know what’s best for them or the world. You talk about them as if they are livestock and or toddlers, not fully-grown autonomous human beings. You’re post screams of the stereotypes that women have been fighting against throughout history.

Talking about women this way is not going to help you form meaningful relationships with them. Women are individuals. They are people. They have their own individual wants and needs, that may or may not match up with your own. Some might, others won’t. Because, again, women are individuals.

If you’re getting to know a woman, and you bring up even a fraction of what you’ve written here, it’s very possible she’s not going to bother to try and get to know you further; even if you do have other great attributes. Because she probably doesn’t want to be treated like a stereotype or a child.
One thing that comes to mind is different TypeScript versions.

JS has ES6 and ES2020 etc and that’s enough to deal with, Typescript is younger and has been moving faster, compatibility might be difficult around the edges.

Longer term I agree with you though, I’d much rather see TS source than JS plus types when I’m looking at the source code of a module.
Yeah I’m not sure which restaurants would use something like this maybe food trucks or casual places that already do the QR pdf menus.

The menu is a huge portion of setting the ambience and theme of a nice restaurant.
It seems unlikely. Elizabeth's principle objection to Darcy was that in detaching Jane and Bingley, he had been the "means of ruining, perhaps for ever, the happiness of a most beloved sister". Darcy's correcting this mistake is therefore absolutely essential to reconciling himself to Elizabeth. The Jane-Bingley arc is also the longest in the novel and of secondary importance only to the Elizabeth-Darcy arc. The novel could not really have had a happy ending without resolving it.
People, yes. And the corporate leaders will try and shame you if you call them out, but they don't steward tax payer dollars effectively, and don't attend to the mission effectively. They do just enough to maintain their contracts, and cut costs enough that it's hard for others who may actually care to get involved (because they can't afford to go that low).

You really think that The Boeing "Oops, we did it again" Company really cares about the military and the tax payers when you get to the top? And you think any of the others are any less profit-driven? These are not principled companies, and not principled people at the top. The ones at the lower levels, yeah, many of them are. But they aren't driving the company.
Indeed. I've noticed that the more off the critical path is the corpo's software team, the more waste they are willing to tolerate when it comes to software development. That's how you come to things like super-scalable, cloud-based, kooberneteez-orchestrated microservice architectures for internal applications which serve a subset of a division of a company. And you need a team 200 strong to service that.
What do you expect to see on a resume? No companies? No dates?
Do the other half of the if-by-whiskey
Imagine if large real estate developers could say that they are constructing too many buildings to make sure they are all up to code. Society has no obligation to make sure companies can scale as fast as possible.
What's particularly civilised about it? In the current system we often have to use driving licences as 'ID' — which is especially odd considering not all of us drive. It seems obvious that having a standard form of identification would make all sorts of things easier and include the benefits mentioned above.
> I do not think so. First of all, the license is clear that it is a “copyright license”

No it doesn't. That's why you can use an MIT-licensed codebase that doesn't have an explicit patent grant and not worry about patent enforcement—it doesn't narrowly constrain itself to copyright.
> Author worked on android as his first job back when people hired entry level.

Not true.

Incidentally, just for fun I posted the whole article into GPT and asked it to evaluate the "correctness" of your comment. Its response was rather verbose, but here's the key portion:

> The comment states, "Author worked on android as his first job back when people hired entry level." However, this is not accurate as per the information in the article. The author clarifies that working on Android at Google was neither his first job nor his second; he had been in the industry since 1992 and accumulated roughly 31 years of experience before deciding to switch careers. His position on the Android team appears to be a result of his already extensive career rather than an entry-level opportunity.
Except if they're blocking ads and the ad blocker actually works (as e.g. uBlock Origin does), they're spending zero time viewing ads.

I never see any Google ads ever. Does the built in adblocker in chrome do that? Or does it... not block ads?
The amount of material in solar panels is tiny compared to our other landfill-destined refuse streams, and it needs to be compared to the analogous waste streams from other forms of energy generation. Nuclear creates long term storage needs. Coal creates tailings. Fracking pollutes groundwater.

The US installed about 32 GW of solar in 2023. (1)

A modern 395W bifacial solar module (2) weighs 25.7kg; about 65g per watt.

That's about two million metric tons of solar panels to handle every year. In contrast, the US produces about 73 million metric tons of plastic waste per year. We landfill a total of about 131 million metric tons per year (3) -- and that's ignoring that things like coal tailings aren't accounted for in landfilling amounts. We produce and burn about 534 million metric tons of coal per year.

The numbers are large but the relative cost of solar panels 50 years hence is likely extremely tolerable compared to the alternatives.

RAG is probably the only thing you can do with LLMs nowadays that is useful, accurate, and cheap enough to deploy in a real business scenario. Every other use of LLMs so far is either too expensive to scale or produces too many hallucinations.
The rather complicated prompt to force the recipes to be in JSON w/ constraints can be substantially simplified using ChatGPT's function calling/structured data capabilities: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38782678

Additionally, a full vector store is overkill for a menu with <100 items. You can just keep a numpy array in memory with vectors for that and use a matmul for RAG.

My favorite part is that installing games from the internet is technically more expensive for Sony than installing a game from the disc, because they pay a larger network transfer costs.

Is there some spyware involved? Is this just incompetence? Is there another reason for this design?
Just like damming rivers to generate carbon free energy turned them into lakes and changed the climate and ecosystems that we are trying to preserve, paving over many square miles of land with solar panels (that will all end up in landfills eventually) will change ecosystems and climates. Carbon gas is not the only thing we need to be focused on if preserving our earth the way it is is our goal.

Low carbon and low footprint options like nuclear should be our top priority. All this focus on wind and solar power is a distraction from real long-term solutions to preserving our ecology and climate.
> As a user I sometimes want a "buffalo chicken quesadilla" not disparate buffalo wings and quesadilla recommendations.

Curse you! I just started eating dinner, but now I want what you listed instead.
I don't think that's really necessarily fair.

A major version of zero means pre-release code. i.e. a codebase under active development (with the implicit assumption that there will likely be major breaking changes).

A major version of zero just means "I am not committing to a stable API until 1.0" which is a completely fair stance. I'm not going to write code that's very clearly unstable and in active churn and try to pretend it's stable. I'm also not going to keep around a legacy API at that point yet.

Compare that to a standard bump in major version (i.e. 1.0 to 2.0). In this case there is an expectation of a migration path and in all likelihood a versioned legacy API that'll stick around so that users can slowly migrate across the breaking changes between API versions.

Frankly I'm not going to commit to doing that for 0.X.Y/indev projects.

Being able to filter by allergen is pretty useful. A chain of custody for ingredients would be cool too. Of course, one can just ask. Does this have nuts in it? Was this ethically sourced?

But, to your point, the nuance that some chefs place in their food descriptions tells a lot. Only a human can tell you which pairings are important to a particular dish, a machine can't. A bit of both would be nice.
Even more curious about these numberless messages then.
It was fun to see a lot of flak towards fragments, when really just about everything you access today is delivered in fragments called TCP segments.

Sure, the delivery mechanisms are quite a bit different - but not that much if we were to speak of a case of a packet fitting into two fragments…
No it isn't. That fault lies with nat and idiots who only open http on their firewalls.
This article really assumes that AI is going to be the future for search. Maybe it will be, maybe it won't be, but frankly I think, regardless, nothing exemplifies the author's point more than Google flailingly chasing OpenAI. No vision, no one awake behind the wheel.
Speaking personally, I feel like Usenet Newsgroups (quite a bit after the subject of this piece) were one of the peaks of "useful information density" on public networks. At least it was for me. Another was the heydey of RSS, when everyone published available feeds. Perhaps - if we are lucky - we are on the cusp of a third, with personal autonomous software agents[1] spidering out and retrieving dense information for us.

[1] "Boxed" for each user, instead of a gimmicked model that just feeds you crap.
Do you evidence of that? Are you sure you aren’t confusing Signal and Matrix, which had that big? We would have heard about Signal after the Matrix bug if it also had it.
Why spend almost $1,000 to rent an A10 GPU? You can purchase a used 3090 outright for that much.
Its almost always through personal connections or word of mouth/referrals.

The primary concern for small to medium business is if the consultant being hired is actually capable of providing the service they are claiming to provide.

Hiring someone off of an online ad, cold call, etc. is just unnecessary risk. They'd happily pay more when they know that the output is going to be what they expect.
Another good example is the cystic fibrosis drugs like Kalydeco. Game changing therapy that corrects the gene defect and restores near normal lung function.

Available shortly after launch in the US in 2012. Even Medicaid patients (insurance for poor Americans) had access.

The UK didn’t pay for it until 2020. Eight years later.

And in Canada only 6 of 12 provinces/territories pay for it and only for children. If you’re an adult, well, you’re out of luck.
Thanks, forgot about the DOE. I'm not entirely discounting the lab leak theory, but WMD in Iraq were also low confidence intel. Either way, as far as action items:

1) We should tighten up all infectious disease labs

AND

2) We should have higher global food standards (wet markets, etc)

AND

3) Improve indoor air filtration, everywhere

As far as I can tell, we've done none of those things.

I'm not sure about the history of the usage of the full stop/period in Japanese, but I think it's interesting the extent to which the exclamation and question marks have become totally ingrained in the language, despite coming from outside — and quite recently. Originally there was no need for them at all, as (as is often also the case in English) whether or not a sentence is a question is clear from the grammar only.

Capital letters are a more interesting phenomenon. It seems like many people consider their use to be overly stuffy these days... even certain CEOs of certain famous AI companies.
> we are trying to preserve

That's the trick of it. Turns out "leave nothing but footprints, take nothing but pictures" philosophy doesn't scale. We can respect andanage nature while recognizing we are part of it too.
In an attempt to refute the point about the designer being beyond understanding, you appealed to religion, all the while claiming that you don't have to appeal to religion.

Then you claim that one can't make a kind of an argument that I just demonstrated one can make.

Now you bring the problem of evil into the dialogue, as if that somehow brings the designer within reach of our understanding, when if anything it moves the concept even further beyond our reach.

Not to mention that with the problem of evil, you're dragging morality into this, another framework of thought just like religion, and closely coupled with it, that science does not deal with or recognize. All the while claiming that fine tuning can stand on its own.

You brought up a bunch of very interesting points in one of your previous posts that I would love to respond to, and I have enjoyed the discussion thus far, but I feel like it would be pointless to engage further unless you can clean up and strengthen your argumentation with regards to understanding the designer, so that it's free of contradictions and self-refutations. Or at least demonstrate willingness to concede a point.
A counterpoint: Qcells has been expanding their Georgia (U.S.) solar factories. 8.4GW capacity by the end of the year (which is the equivalent of like... 15 typical centralized power plants).
Labor costs are lower in the south.
But, overall, I agree with you.
The picture in the case of losses is pretty complicated with dack, sack, congestion control, and so on. If loss is high enough that this is a main concern TCP performance is generally shot already.
The author says “The solution to search is a search engine that is aligned with the users.”

I wholeheartedly agree.

The incentives at play are often at the detriment of the person searching, and for the benefit of the company and shareholders of the search engine. Google measures ad revenue and related metrics far more than the abstract concept of whether people are getting the best search results.

The Browser Company, with 22 investors putting in over $50M, has pressure to make a return on that money. The way to do that in the long run? Show paid results. Unless they can make a subscription model work, which many search engine startups have failed at, they'll eventually resort to paid results. Then people will see what's been paid to show up, even if there might be something more relevant to their search than the ad.
No your statement is incorrect. We do have safe supply in Canada. The CBC even wrote an article defending our safe supply program.

And this is a part of my problem with all this. I live in Toronto's downtown core and the explosion in drug issues since these policies came into effect is something I see and live with. And it's the same in our other major cities.

And too often the response from the proponents of these policies is outright misinformation, accusations of moralism. As someone living in an area where I am watching a drug problem spiral out of control, this is frankly infuriating.

This is my city and I see these people with addiction as neighbors I want to help. But these policies don't appear to be helping them. It looks to me like it's making things worse

If it's so good, if it's so helpful, why are there tent encampments full of people with drug issues popping up. We have shelters so it's not an issue of lack of shelters. Why are there so many more people high or doing drugs on our streets, why are overdose deaths the same or higher
Not an expert but I'd say prolly llama is preferred for privacy + open source reasons.
>I suppose it’s ambiguous who you’re referring to “doing more”? But you unambiguously said a 3:1 advantage -> Ukraine will run out of troops.

Ah I see, yes I meant "do more" as in escalating by putting boots on the ground or getting US or NATO troops officially in the war before Russia invades a NATO country, or giving Ukraine weaponry where it can invade Russia. Right now we're in a proxy war with Russia like Vietnam or Afghanistan (1979-1989). The national interest for us is to make Russia look bad and drain Russia to the point where they can't invade a NATO country at the expense of Ukraine, unfortunately. The war has devolved into trench warfare and a war of attrition, which will ultimately lead to Ukraine running out of troops if nothing significant changes.

During peace talks Ukraine has stated they want all the captured territory including Crimea back, which Russia will never agree to because they have the upper hand. Russia just has to sit there and defend like Germany did in the Western front in WWI. Furthermore, Russia can fight a war of attrition much longer than Ukraine can. That's where the 3:1 ratio is important.

I don't see a path to Russia "giving up," and relinquishing all captured territory outside of Putin getting removed and a magical NATO friendly leader taking his place, which is highly unlikely. Had Prigozhin toppled Putin, he would have likely been even more aggressive. A coup in Russia would likely make things worse, too. Nobody wants the country with the largest nuclear arsenal in the world to become unstable, except maybe Iran.

What else can happen? Ukraine invades Russia? We haven't been giving Ukraine long rage weapons because we don't want this to happen. If Ukraine invades Russia in earnest and makes a lot of progress, Russia will likely lob some nukes, which is very bad.

Ukraine can take over the territory Russia has taken, but they haven't been able to do it and have been repelled from Bakhmut and recently from Avdiivka. It's not looking good. How many more counter-offensives can Ukraine sustain? I don't know, but it's fewer than Russia can repel. Something needs to happen that isn't happening now, but I have no idea what that is.

I just don't see a path that doesn't involve lots of Ukrainians dying and ultimately give up most of the land Russia currently occupies, except a peace treaty, which Ukraine currently isn't being realistic about. Furthermore a peace treaty is no guarantee Russia will not invade a NATO country.

We're walking a tightrope. We want Ukraine to repel Russia, but not threaten Russia's existence. When a non-nuclear power fights a nuclear power, the one with nukes has the upper hand.

So that's the path we're currently on. Ukraine can only commit to so many counter offensives and rebuff Russian offensives before they are drained. Russia hasn't even fully committed to the war yet. What do we do once Ukraine has ultimately "bled out?" Ukraine is a powder keg waiting to explode. It's pretty scary.
You are not at all the only one. I don’t mean to diminish the project in TFA-it’s a cool application at a sensible scale. But your point resonates with a broader frustration of mine that’s percolated since COVID.

Dining out is a human experience, and I deeply resent any systems that demand my attention be funneled away from my dining companions and staff, into a wholly inadequate digital kludge. There should never be a reason for an electronic device to be at the dinner table.

QR-code-based menus are absolutely and uniformly unfit for purpose. It’s a question of information and navigation: it’s intuitive and natural to navigate the physical layout of a printed menu, associated as it is with the stages of the meal and complete detail of all options at once. As you point out, I’m going into the menu not with the intention of seeking a specific taste I have in mind, but with the intention of hearing the full range of the restaurant’s proposition and recognizing what resonates with me. It’s a recognition task more than a retrieval task.

Compare to tapping and swiping through tabs full of pages of digital listings to remember what you meant to order when the time comes.

I admire the creativity and technical effort involved with this project, but I can’t imagine anything worse than having to play a guessing game with an LLM to hide-and-seek what the kitchen serves.

I feel like the whole enterprise understands the value of hospitality differently than I do: a human hospitality professional can apply the full range of their judgment, context, intuition, and humanity to something like this type of menu recommendation. And a skilled menu designer can provide an efficient survey of what’s on order and set the tone. Even in its ideal implementation, what problem does this AI-ification actually attempt to solve or add value to?
Yes, but I think those examples fall under (1), no?
You don’t need a language model for that, and arguably shouldn’t use one if there’s a possibility of the model hallucinating the wrong answer. And the model is only as good as the information it is given, so if there is allergen info available, why not just display it directly to the customer? If there’s not, your model will almost certainly be wrong.
