I’m top .55%, come at me bro. Anyway… yeah, I got there by using it daily, looking for challenging questions that not only helped a lot of people (I hope) but also taught me or reinforced a lot of things along the way.

That’s the way you should use it; to be helpful and share knowledge, engage with lots of interesting and often very impressive devs out there, and help mod the site. The gamification part is an added bonus but I found that it fostered a bad attitude when I looked at it strictly as a competition, and I think answer quality suffered as well. Eventually your body of work will start accumulating points without having to put much into the site. Personally, I don’t have much time to research answers anymore.

Help first, everything else later. Just be aware it’s a tedious and labor intensive endeavor that ultimately has little value outside of feeling good about sharing knowledge and helping someone who’s going through something you’ve suffered through as well.
Home media server? Won't that be on par with a lightbulb?
> I wouldn't have guessed that the in-group would have abandoned it so readily.

You never understood the meaning of the word, then. Woke is a synonym for "enlightenment." Indeed, the notions of wokeness echo an earlier philosophical revolution we continue to call the Age of Enlightenment.

Who, with a serious face, will claim to be enlightened? According to the Buddhism I studied, there was never a surer method to identify a fool.

Wokeness was never worn as a serious label. Wokeness may be acknowledged, be that applied to a person or a concept. The only time I've heard anybody self-proclaim wokeness is literally in self-mockery. He's woke, she's woke, that's woke, stay woke, but never I'm woke. So I'd make one edit to your first sentence: it was not uttered with pride, it was uttered with respect. And people still do that today.

So there was nothing to abandon. Nobody identified that way. And now wokeness is now a boogeyman. It means whatever anybody wants it to mean. Nevermind that this fight has been raging since the 17th century, but it's got a new name now and hey you can sell fear with that.
I think the key differentiator is that Cox [somehow] knew that the customer was using their network to copy the alleged infringing content. The electric company doesn't know this, and (to use another example) the hard drive manufacturer doesn't know that their customer is storing the content on the drives the make.

If I were Cox, I suppose I would be incentivized to operate kind of like a VPN and just not store logs and not do any kind of traffic inspection or analysis. That way they might be able to argue that the plaintiff couldn't prove contributory infringement.
Annual P&L report should suffice.

Such scales are completely incomprehensible to me
Even when the results are not sponsored, they're all generic answers from generic domains. I'm traveling at the moment and it's impossible to find anything written by someone in a 1000 km of the city I'm visiting.

Which is great when databases leak. Absolutely brilliant.
Ok so add the people/orgs running it as well as those using it.

Otherwise you risk neutering the tech itself rather than neuter bad/ignorant actors.
Your analogy undermines the point you seem to be making, given that renting is, by definition, not purchasing.
Hate them so much. As an iOS eng I feel like I always end up doing 10x more work than others. But it’s also my fault for accepting invites to teams with new feature ideas. Been burned enough times now that I won’t be doing that anymore.
If it wasn't for Wikipedia then I would still be unsure. It feels like the kind of put-on that anyone in the know tries to maintain, like Morning...

The idea of metaphysics isn't foreign to science, as I see. Once the science acknowledges that 90% of our universe is invisible something, and that something has a structure, it's one step from the hypothesis that there are lifeforms in that "dark mirror" universe.
A number of aspects of the design of Pandas make more sense if you know it's background. It originated in a quantitative finance environment where it's common to be working with time series data. It grew from that in to a more general purpose data manipulation and analysis library.
No matter the estimation, no matter the probability, the history of scientific inquiry has shown that reality is weirder than the wildest of human imaginings. Let’s just go and find out for sure, and maybe write less clickbait, yeah?
They're software engineers (big surprise there), so generally up towards the 10% or so. But you said "almost comically impossible", and I really think that's overstating it.
If I could offer one piece of unsolicited advice: in whatever you do next, make it a point to understand a) how the business is doing and b) what your impact to the business will be.

Make it a point to gather numbers like e.g. revenue figures, growth rates, costs, usage metrics. It is true that us underlings aren't usually handed these numbers, but you might be surprised by how easy it is to get them once you start looking. And once you have those numbers, you can derive some good estimates around your own impact towards the business.

Having those numbers will help you understand your own impact. They will also help you avoid companies that, for a lack of a better word, are destined to fail.

(I'm a fan of your blog btw. I really liked the article on the Monty Hall problems!)
Yes, they are ideologically captured, as are many, many institutions regarding this topic.

What's interesting is that they seem to be glossing over the truth. It's not unauthorized, per se, it's using a prior authorization code. And it's intended for processing offline transactions. It seems like 'force' is an industry term and a bit hyperbolic when used in lay discussion.

Yeah, when I'm at work my rule is I need to be getting paid. For those who don't understand this is why some loathe company "offsites" and / or "hackathons" at any kind of event where I'm sent by my employer.

I thought hackathons were dumb in college (most people just cheat and bring pre-baked projects) and it's still dumb after that.

If you want to get out of it, just send an email explaining your health and productivity is implicitly tied to your sleep. Worst case just do what I did and get a doctor's note that staying up too late for non-work essential tasks is damaging to your physical well-being.
There's gotta be somewhere in the middle. Vercel's movements feel a lot like the "Embrace, extend, and extinguish" playbook.

Maybe there is a class of developer out there that doesn't get spooked by that but it definitely has created an adversarial place for Vercel in my mind. I feel like I need to be careful when touching anything Vercel have touched so that I don't fall into a trap.
Worth reading quality land. It's about that last point you made.
Very much so. Particularly if you're switching roles a useful strategy is to mention what equity, bonuses or compensation you may be losing as a result. In my most recent swap, I indicated I was due a fairly large bonus in 60 days and would want to delay my start to make sure I earned that and quoted the approximate amount of it. The new company didn't give me the entire amount of the bonus, but definitely increased their offer to cover most of the bonus between cash and equity.

It is also useful to mention any other offers you may have and to apply for other positions, even if you're less interested in those roles. A friend of mine applied for several roles using that strategy including one he thought he'd be totally uninterested in. He wound up being most excited about that role after getting further along in the process and ultimately accepted it, even though he intended to only use it as a bargaining chip.

You also can apply for other roles and even mention "I'm early in the process, but they've stated the usual comp range is XYZ, which is higher. I'm more excited about this role, but it could be hard to turn down that kind of compensation".
It's infuriating that any qualifier you use is ignored. "Lightest laptop" will just return random lists of 10 laptops. No mention of weight.
Sure. I understand. But that is something I can leave with. Even just once a day pull the email for me and notify that I have new emails. If I expect anything right now, I will open my email app and refresh it.

I don’t get notifications when my real mail arrives, I just go every other day and check.

Sorry, what?
Yes, I had the same thought. The DNA data is completely uncalibrated. From the NYT article, it looks like they've beaten the DNA data until it supports their hypothesis.
I'm honestly not sure if you are being intentionally obtuse or you just haven't read the opinion.

> Each set of plaintiffs asserted claims under Alabama's Wrongful Death of a Minor Act, § 6-5- 391. In the alternative, each set of plaintiffs asserted common-law claims of negligence (in the LePages and Fondes' case) or negligence and wantonness (in the Aysennes' case), for which they sought compensatory damages, including damages for mental anguish and emotional distress.

(page 5)

Note: "In the alternative"

There were two claims:

1. They claim coverage by the Wrongful Death of a Minor Act.

2. They provide an alternative, so that if the Wrongful Death of a Minor Act does _not_ apply, they claim negligence.

These are two separate claims.
The ruling states that since Claim 1 does apply (frozen embryos do fall under the Wrongful Death of a Minor Act), then Claim 2 is no longer relevant, because it was only relevant if Claim 1 did not apply. Therefore Claim 2, is dismissed, upholding the lower court's decision _on that claim_ (but not the full case).

To clarify, we are not affiliated with OpenAI. However, we are betting that OpenAI will open the SoraAPI in the next few months. Therefore, we are already starting to build the website platform to:

1. Implementing captions and video voice overs atop the generated videos to streamline the movie generation process.

2. Incorporating features for transferring to 3D models.

3. Developing a built-in tool to assist users in generating more precise prompts and exerting finer control over the video elements.

Yes. It applies to all unborn children. The central question presented in these consolidated appeals is whether the Act contains an unwritten exception to that rule for extrauterine children -- that is, unborn children who are located outside of a biological uterus at the time they are killed.

The circumstances of the case, that is that it involves death of embryos kept in a cryogenic nursery, is not material to the validity of the argument.

They did not say: even if they are embryos. They said all unborn children.

This does not mean embryos ARE children. That was not what was argued nor what the court decided upon. You are inferring meaning outside the scope of the ruling. They side stepped the part you are upset about. They are very, very clear that this is about unborn children. The word embryos only appear once - while discussing the surround context, not the finding of the court or the question they were answering.

Audited income statement
The set of all possible written text is infinitely complex. That's not what is being modeled, though: LLMs model text that was written intentionally by humans. That's less complicated, but it's not simple enough for language rules to completely define it. Natural language is "context-sensitive", so the meaning of a written language statement is dependent on more than the language itself. That's why we can't just parse natural language like we can programming languages.

An LLM is a model of written text. It doesn't know anything about language rules. In fact, it doesn't follow any rules whatsoever. It only follows the model, which tells you what text is most likely to come next.

Google indeed ranks brands much higher. It feels like all of my results are from generic brands, even if all of their content is copywritten drivel. This is especially obvious when you search for travel advice, and every answer is a generic blog post on a travel service website.

Atlas stones are the "standard" stones, but they're concrete spheres, not rubber-coated. Lifters use pine resin, "tacky", on their hands to make them easier to grab. Or less hard to grab, at least.

(Note that the linked article talks about not using tacky on natural stones.)
Phone numbers are fast becoming a global, persistent, shared user identifier across applications, business, and government.

Think of how many systems innocently ask for phone numbers as a hard requirement for account creation (under the guise of DFA). Think of all the restaurants that innocently ask for it “so we can text you when your tables ready”, or when you buy a shirt at Banaba Republic, “can I get a phone number”. Like seriously, WTF?

In reality it’s now the defacto method to identify and reconcile your records across ecosystems.

Apple needs to create throw away phone numbers like they’ve successfully done with email addresses. I expect this to be their next iCloud+ offering.
Even encrypted data is not irrelevant. The frequency of messages is relevant, as is how many messages are sent how quickly, the total package size can be revealing if they arent hella padding the data, there is a lot you can learn just from the data. Total obfuscation is ideal.
Streamlit reloads and runs the entire app on every change which can make it very slow for data intensive tasks and is hard to work with for complex UIs in my experience
Interesting. That's different from companies I've worked at, where the sw developer usually asks for clarifications and can fight back if they have something else that they feel should be worked on that has a bigger ROI for the company. Companies I've worked at recently have been much more bottom up than top down
Probably better to use a mux/demux system rather than 1 transistor per segment.

You can build a system to control a large binary system with simple relays and gates and a comparatively few transistors.

Given that they did much more work with relays back then, in absence of a better idea I would pin my bets on that.

Yeah so they're mostly seeking people who are willing to trade a small risk of some horrible lifelong autoimmune condition for $5k right now. Not surprising two of the other guys in the study have been to prison.

Either human challenge trials should not reimburse at all, and seek the true believers in it, or they should cover all future medical bills for any chronic immune conditions that emerge in the next 3 months (and just one of those outcomes probably blows up the economic utility of challenge trials).

It doesn't need to to be a problem.

An LLM is a model, not an actor. As soon as we call it "AI", that distinction gets muddled, and the whole narrative follows.
Because their main business is taking content ranking it and charging you for it. This allows them to discover sites cheaper in a more targeted way. It increases awareness of kagi. It's a win/win idea.

Don't mistake Kagi for something it's not. You are still the product. All of your data is feed into the system (what you search for, what you rank, what you filter etc) and used to sell others.

Not really. Earth has hardly any atmosphere. The part with any density to speak of is just a thin film. To see for yourself, look closely at any picture of Earth and around around its circumference you will notice how little atmosphere there actually is[1]. It's something many people don't realize because from down here it looks like it goes up far. Just 16,000 meters up the atmosphere is unbreathably thin and most of Earth's oxygen lies below you. We have mountains that are higher than the main mass of Earth's atmosphere (50% is below 5.6km)[2].

The mass of Earth's hydrosphere is about 1.4 × 10^21 kg, while the mass of water in Earth's atmosphere is merely about 0.00002 × 10^21 kg[3].

1) OpenAI didn't steal anything.

2) The models explicitly don't have every book inside.

At best (which the court case is dealing with in part) one could argue that OpenAI is transforming works covered under copyright in a manner that isn't sufficiently transformative to pass the fair use exceptions to copyright and is thus committing copyright infringement. It's still not theft.

OpenAI doesn't "require stealing the world's books" in order to do what they do. Their product is vastly more effective and useful because it was trained on such a wide corpus of material, but likewise a xerox machine that won't make any copies of anything under copyright is vastly less useful and effective as one that will. Likewise a VCR that refuses to record from TV is less useful than one that will. A CD drive that refuses to rip MP3s from CDs is less useful than one that will. A BitTorrent client that refuses to send or receive items subject to copyright is less useful than a client that will send and receive those items. The fact that a product is better by it's ability to be usable in committing copyright infringement is neither evidence that the product itself is infringement, nor a strong argument in favor of preventing the product from being capable of such infringement.
