Why the weasel words here?

If it is true that "a business that collects user data based on one set of privacy commitments cannot then unilaterally renege on those commitments after collecting users' data," then in what cases would that conduct not be unfair or deceptive?

Why are they trying to leave room for exceptions in this language?
Hi there, thank you for the comment. Yes, bending over is a legitimate way to perform them, but some leak experts theorize that it can contribute to additional issues (e.g. an arachnoid bleb, which needs surgical intervention as EBPs won't suffice for treatment).
Yes, it’s worse in all ways from when I first signed up. Poorer quality responses and it’s dog slow.
yeah, i know it accepts it, but that doesn't make it right ;)

thanks for the tip about no-aliases! i had no idea. i don't suppose there's an option to allow me to write arm-ual-style `add a1, a0` instead of `c.add a1, a0` or `add a1, a1, a0`, is there? because in the first case i can't assemble it without rvc, and the second case is annoying

i guess i should write my own assembler instead of whining

Cancelled this month.

I started getting too many responses which were clearly incorrect, I point out the correction to which the response was, "You are indeed correct [rephrases the answer correctly]"

Okay, great, but what about all the responses where I don't actually know the topic enough to know it's incorrect?
I mean, it's conceivable that could happen down the line but it would break most of the current Internet. Also the rule explicitly says its for US providers. However, the government really loves the extraterritorial enforcement angle as of late so I get the feeling they'll eventually try to apply it to foreign subsidiaries of US companies.
In my experience it's fun to do that but only worth it when SLOs are on the line (so a significant number of bad machines).
Do you have chat history disabled? I get more stability when I enable chat history. Not sure if that's a dark pattern.
No, it is labeled as GPT-4, but last time I checked it was using GPT-3.5 under the hood. I asked about something recent that GPT-4 should know, can't remember what exactly, maybe about stable diffusion, and asked not to use the web search and it answered like GPT-3.5

The Amiga did not originate under Commodore, and the original business plan was very much a game machine.

By the time Commodore snapped it up right under the noses of Atari, that was still the goal.

While Commodore changed that goal, the artefacts of that origin is all over the system, from a built in dual "play fields" graphics mode, to the OS support for sprite multiplexing.

I'm considering switching to Gemini when the mobile app is available in my country and the web app gets better.

ChatGPT lately has its confidence really high and hallucinates in the middle of really basic technical stuff. It will say what a command should be for something really mundane like the `ip` command in Linux and then it sprinkles stuff that doesn't exist in the middle... you start to lose confidence.

I think LLMs are better than search engines but if I have to fact check everything, I'll switch to another LLM or go back to a search engine.

I don't know what has changed in ChatGPT but it's worse lately.
I know you're being facetious, but there's something to this. Both reading and listening are passive. They're indistinguishable from each other, but both are quite distinguishable from writing, or reading the way you would "read" a math or physics textbook (which involves very little of the activity of scanning words on the page and very much of the activity of scribbling stuff in a notebook and then staring at it for awhile).
Not really, the company is massive and until recently very motivated (promo) to launch new things. SREs probably helped get things across the finish line but likely didn't start those projects.
I'm in my mid-40s, so I appreciate the relatively in young ;) Thank you for sharing some of your story. Unfortunately, my case is different to you — with EDS, MCAS, and an alphabet of other issues that underpin this spinal CSF leak. I definitely have hope medical treatment can evolve, but as of now I'm waiting for that to happen while surviving the best I can. I'm pretty even-keeled about it all, and find joy where I can. It's just not a very mobile life. All the best to you!

How are people using GPT4 via the API? I signed up and loaded some money, but I still can’t use GPT for by the API. Only 3.5 turbo.

I still find ChatGPT 4 well worth the money. The coding is way better than 3.5. I wonder what their system prompt is, I don’t get as good results from the API (maybe I am doing it wrong).
Butterflies are 3D, this depiction is 2D. Whether it's an accurate depiction depends on the viewing angle in addition to what the butterfly is doing - here's some photography of monarch butterflies, including a few side shots that would have the wings swept forward if it was viewed from behind: https://www.neurotraveler.com/home/2022/9/20/bif-butterflies...

Mostly seems to be when they're trying to land on a flower such as in this one: https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b9bf6c9266c07...
Many of my customers canceled their ChatGPT subscription and switched 100% to API.

If you want to use GPTs or to generate images with Dall-E then ChatGPT Plus is a no brainer I guess.

But if your focus is on GPT-4 then I highly recommend to use an API instead.

There are multiple pros of using an API Key:

- You pay for your usages. I've been using API Key exclusively and most of the time, it cost me around $5-$10 a month

- Your data is not used for training. This is important for a privacy-minded user like me. Though you can disable this in ChatGPT (but you will lose chat history)

- No message limit. Though there are rate limits to prevent abuse but generally, you do not have the message limit like the ChatGPT

- You can choose previous GPT models or other open-source models via

Depends on the applications, you can also get these:

- Access to multiple AI services: OpenAI, Azure or OpenRouter

- Local LLMs via Ollama etc.

- Build custom AI workflows

- Voice search & text-to-speech etc.

- Deeper integrations with other apps & services

There are also a few cons:

- No GPTs support yet

- If you use Dall E a lot then ChatGPT plus is more affordable. Generating images using Dall E API can be quite expensive

Edit: Some tips when using an API Key:

- You pay for tokens used (basically how long your question & AI's answers). The price per chat message is not expensive, but usually you will need to send the whole conversation to OpenAI, which makes it expensive. Make sure to pick an app that allows you to limit the chat context.

- Don't use GPT-4 for tasks that doesn't require deeper reasoning capabilities. I find that GPT-3.5 turbo is still very good at simple tasks like: grammar fixes, improve your writing, translations ...

-You can even use local LLMs if your machine can run Ollama

- Use different system prompts for different tasks: for example, I have a special prompt for coding tasks, and a different system prompt for writing tasks. It usually give a much better result.

What other things are there that exhibit this phenomenon? I am curious, I bet there are quite a few.

Anything where the image we associate with X is not the real X for some historical reason.

Or more generally it could extend to prose, art etc.
To answer the title's question: yes.

I listen to a lot of audiobooks, but quality and the amount of focus required varies a lot. Sometimes I put on some lightweight audiobook or podcast while playing games or doing chores. For most lightweight content I crank it up to somewhere between 2x and 3x playback speed and still follow along just fine.

Other times I'm dialed-in with an audiobook playing as I read along with the book. Most recently I've been doing this with Unsong, by Scott Alexander. The book is very engaging and detailed, so I'm fully immersed. For this book in particular it's useful to have an audiobook because I don't know how many of the references would be pronounced.

Anything more challenging or technically-focused usually requires me to physically read it in order to fully process the content.
Alliances and friendship are orthogonal. An alliance is a pragmatic short-term matter. Friendship is something more fundamental and typically lasts longer.

Germany and the USSR were almost allies during the early years of WW2. The Soviets supplied Germany with massive amounts of raw materials, helping them to circumvent the British blockade. There were even serious talks on the USSR formally joining the Axis powers. The talks ultimately failed, as Germany and the USSR could not agree on their spheres of influence in the south.

Then the war between Germany and the USSR broke out, and Cold War followed after the war. All these changes happened in less than a decade.
Car traffic might be reduced per capita in higher density areas, but all of it is concentrated and is right near all the people. Multiply by the sirens of ambulance and police that are constantly going somewhere. Compare to a dead-end suburb street which only 5-10 cars have any reason for driving at all.

There's also a good point here (at least at the top of the stack) about reliability: the top of the spectrum goes down relatively frequently due to its dependencies, but even plain old boring EC2 has much better reliability than services like Lambda.
Banks don’t want you to do anything that reduces their deposits, because they directly lose money when that happens. If you had $1 billion in deposits at a bank that was getting 5% returns on investing its deposits, and you wanted to spend that money on buying some securities or something, then that bank would generate approx $1,000,000 in returns for every week that the AML process takes to complete.

Due to how fractional banking works, in reality they would be earning some multiple of that return rate, but that’s a bit more abstract and hard to quantify.

Because AML processes are completely opaque, often made up on the fly and operate without any due process, banks can and routinely do delay transactions worth multiple billions of dollars for many weeks or longer by asking lots of irrelevant questions, requesting new documents or minor changes, and taking their time in getting back to you about anything, ect... In the world of high value transactions these kafkaesque processes and delays are completely routine.
Interesting how San Francisco has almost the same density as NYC when you get to 2km. I wonder if this has to do with density of old neighborhoods surrounding fidi out-densitying most hoods in nyc

the relative speed might depend somewhat on what you're doing. following a random pointer into ram that isn't in your cache still takes something like 80 nanoseconds, while in 01981 it might have taken 500 nanoseconds. but in 01981 executing an instruction also took 500 nanoseconds, and now in 500 nanoseconds this laptop typically executes over 9000 instructions when it's not idle. lisps tend to involve higher proportions of random pointer following than things like golang or numpy
I think of it instead as the code is just a more expressive config file.

Smetimes you don't want that but sometimes you do, and it's a counter-productive mistake to only ever go one way or the other in all situations instead of identifying what best serves different situations.

I can't read tea leaves but I'm fairly confident they're not shutting down SRE. They want to get back to sublinear scaling and move away from the "devs create crap, bribe SRE (headcount) to babysit it in production". It was a major anti-pattern for the role.
I am of the opinion that there isn’t really a good editor for Android, but Joplin is probably as good as we’re getting. (I love iA Writer, but it’s not as good as it could be on Android.)

I think the sync server is Joplin’s secret weapon on this front. I tried using Syncthing for managing my docs for a while, but I think having a dedicated sync server helps on mobile. I found using alternative sync methods was too wonky on a mobile device.
I took their question to be shorthand for “Can you please share the image?”
It’s really helpful to have such a visualisation tool. I’ve felt Mumbai as being quite dense (partially because of the sea around it), and throwing a few “most dense cities” like Dhaka/Manila/Tokyo/Jakarta so far still results in Mumbai having the highest cumulative density values (made much more explicit when excluding large water bodies).

Question/challenge: can anyone find any other city with a greater density? Dhaka is close but has a lower peak and tapers off faster.
"Hanchō" is the likely origin of "head honcho".
Vos is an archaic pronoun that was used to address the nobility. Like usted it was associated with a different verbal form, in this case the plural. You address a noble as if he was more than one person. I guess that's hard to appreciate in English that doesn't make a differece even in the pronoun: you for one you and you for multiple yous.

Argentinian Voseo is using the pronoun but not the majestic plural. Instead they create a brand new form, altering the accent. I had no idea that it was so extended outside Argentina. That surprises me because I know people from many of the relevant countries and had not heard any of them using it, except Argentinians.
That butterfly isn't T-posing though. The butterfly T-pose you see in human created images has that black line holding up the wings be perfectly perpendicular to the body.

See this for example, they drew the butterfly as a bunch of T-posing sequences, it doesn't look like that when flying at all, it T-posing in one image would make sense but they do it for every image usually which is really off:

It's not about the highest performance or cheapest hosting if you don't care what you're using. It's for those who specifically want RISC-V hosting.

> ESP32-P4

Dual 400 MHz CPUs, less than 1 MB RAM.

If you are happy with things in that class, you don't need to pay any $70.

For $5 you can get Milk-V Duo dual 1000 MHz + 700 MHz with 64 MB RAM and run Linux on it.

You can compile C/asm code for the 700 MHz "microcontroller" core right there on the 1 GHz Linux core, if you want. Just put the bare metal binary in the right directory and reboot the 700 MHz core. Use the Arduino library to write your code, if you want, if twiddle the registers yourself.

Not the oldest, though. There are still a few systems running 1945-era PCC trolleys -- San Francisco, Philadelphia, and a spur line in Boston (Ashmont-Mattapan), though a lot of those have been subject to pretty dramatic overhauls. For heavier rail, the MBTA Red Line still has cars in service (the 1500 series) that were built in 1969-1970, and BART just very recently retired their original cars which entered service in 1972.
> I'm making concrete your vague handwaving, feel free to provide a more concrete explanation of how you think this goes.

Imagining counterfactuals is fundamentally vague. Someone would need see an opportunity to move in to shipbuilding at the low end and take it. But that is the low end, ie, probably not starting at 50kt tankers. You're imagining scenarios where it doesn't work. That is really easy, most business ideas don't work. But successful companies come from the unusual situations where ideas do work, so the fact that you are good at imaging how things won't work isn't really material. You're one of the approximately 8 billion humans that isn't capable of founding a shipping startup. I am too. But nonetheless we can be confident that the best positioned people in the US could do it.

The issue is not the path, the issue is that US companies can't compete. The existing, established, US shipbuilders got whipped by the Asians. The question here isn't whether startups work, the issue is the market that they'd inherit if they got big doesn't support US shipbuilders.

> No it didn't.

You are, and I'm speaking quite literally here, absurdly wrong. Modern ships didn't pop into existence from nothing. Nothing does. The whole modern economy is just iterations of smaller simpler designs starting with wood fires and spears. It is just a basic fact that there is a path from any industrial activity to any other.

And companies tread it fairly regularly. It isn't unusual for people to move from one vertical into another.

> Like the Manhattan Project or the Hoover Dam, there wasn't a smaller initiative that gradually developed into a massive industry.

The Manhattan project is within startup budget. OpenAI is talking trillions to develop AI, that is like 50 Manhatten projects. Nuclear science turns out not to be that hard once people know that splitting atoms is a very energy-plush operation.

And the dam example is silly. Are you suggesting the Hoover Dam was the first dam? No, the US had a huge dam building industry. It was a big project, but it was done by existing companies.
Adding to this, it's very worthwhile exercise for any curious programmer to work out the IV of a stock based on options pricing and compare it to other measure of volatility (for example historic volatility, or even your own beliefs about volatility based on what you think future returns might be).

Black-Scholes/Merton makes a lot more sense once you work it all out yourself in code.

I'd actually suggest doing this through modeling the underlying geometric Brownian motion and ensuring that your simulated results match up to the analytic formula.
For clarity, I had 4 rounds of targeted patching done, but I wanted to be clear that there were a total of 22 needles — it wasn't a high volume EBP, but smaller, directed patches with blood+fibrin.

Puncture leak sites rarely show on imaging, it's true. At Duke, Cedars, or other leak centers they have techniques for CTMs or DSMs that yield leak sites but that's usually for spontaneous CSF leak patients or post-surgical, not us puncture people. They're using a PCCT machine to find CSF venous fistulas at Mayo and at Duke, but again to my knowledge puncture leaks remain a needle in a haystack even on that quality of imaging.

Within a couple sentences of each other he says (paraphrasing), “if you test any model (Gemini, ChatGPT, Grok) you’ll see it says far left things” and “we don’t know why [Gemini] is far left leaning”.

I think he’s being honest here. At least at the executive level of having no clue how any of this works or why it leans the way it does.
The Hong Kong core, makes sense because the HK core is super-dense
I think the question people are really interested in is usually "What percentage over my costs would I pay to outsource X?" (where X is some component of the complexity stack)

Which, first order approximated, is a function of (1) how big a company you are (aka "Can you even afford to hire two people to just do X?") and (2) how competitive the market is for X.

Colo and dedicated VMs are so reasonably priced because it's a standardized, highly-competive market.

Similarly, certain managed cloud services are ridiculously expensive because they have a locked-in customer base.

Which would suggest outsourcing components that have maximum vendor competition and standardization, as they're going to be offered at the lowest margin.
> WebKit is kind of odd in that a lot of these bugs turned out to be in proprietary Apple systems (Safari, iOS, etc.) rather than WebKit proper. (At least, this is what I assume the enigmatic rdar:// response means.)

This is an incorrect assumption. Apple engineers prioritize all of their work in Radar, so most of their WebKit bugs will get imported into Radar as a matter of course.
