I think it's great that this tutorial credits their collaborators by name. It drives home the kind of collaborative, sharing community that facilitates technical innovation.
> They can, but it's often possible to prove it later. If you have a rule against lying and it's retroactively discovered to have been broken, then you already have the enforcement mechanism in place.

It isn't a rule against lying, it's a rule requiring lies to be labeled. From which you get nothing useful that you couldn't get from a rule against lying, because you'd need the same proof for either one.

Meanwhile it becomes a trap for the unwary because innocent people who don't understand the complicated labeling rules get stomped by the system without intending any malice.

> Really, your argument can be generalized to 'why have laws at all, because people will break them and lie about it'.

The generalization is that laws against not disclosing crimes are pointless because the penalty for the crime is already at least as severe as the penalty for not disclosing it and you'd need to prove the crime to prove the omission. This is, for example, why it makes sense to have a right against self-incrimination.
>Convincing people to spend $2/can for filtered tap water is impressive.

In the same way that building a death star would be 'impressive'. ;0)
It's not the workforce, though I would understand why you might think that.

It is the work. Go do a shift in a kitchen, during rush, on a Friday. The term "in the weeds" will make sudden sense. All the pressure of desk job and product will seem easy.

The system is optimized to use what you have, and can't loose. If you run out of pickles or mayo you fucked up so bad that god help you.
What are you trying to say? That all waffle house employees are functionally illiterate? Because that is not what the data says.
Is a more generic version of this argument be that there will always be a need for smart/experienced people?
So if I replied to your comment with "you are incorrect" I would be putting you in a worse light than saying "you are hallucinating"? The second is making it sound better? Doesn't feel that way to me.
The deny-list model is fine if 1. You deny quickly and decisively, 2. Actually deny, without loopholes, grace periods, or grandfather clauses (which will all be abused) and 3. Actually enforce, rather than just throwing a law over the wall and ignoring violators.

The US is pretty slow with #1, absolutely terrible and ineffective with #2, and uneven/spotty with #3.
To me, I think the end game for any code developing automation isn't that it needs to be creative to program, but..

A: needs to have a close to complete understanding of the problem to solve and the tools they have in languages to complete this in the most efficient way and..

B: need to be able to iterate through all of the different options it can generate and run `perf` or what have you on the outcomes of each and present the top few winners

AGI might not be a thing we can make, but if we can make enough semi-intelligent AIs communicating via a standardized format that are each 95% right on their respective domain we might be at a level that is good enough. Add in for critical domains some sort of polling that is done between a few admin AIs to make sure the winning results are not a hallucination.
PFAS are different from soap in that your body can't break them down or excrete them well, so they bioaccumulate. Eating soap is absolutely not good for you, and if it also built up in your body people would be really worried about small exposures to it.
The only reason Valve pulled it was because they feared Nintendo would come after them as it was using Nintendos proprietary graphics API. They could not distribute the code.

If it was to use a custom built API then there is no issue but hacking N64s RSP is a tricky beast of a chip due to all the oddities of it being essentially experimental 3D hardware at the time.
I would be interested to hear her responses to a number of the concerns/confusion mentioned below.

It seems like there is a lot of speculation in this area (not just this thread, but previous threads on vitamin D), and not a lot of evidence/studies to back it up.
That's mostly because you use up all your time and patience to complain about it instead of fixing it.
It depends on bioaccumulating, i’ve read. Inert things can’t have bonds broken by macrophages, etc, labeling them with an ion. Carbon chains i supposemight break down biologically , but maybe won’t.
Pro: less likely to mixup orders since the order is encoded into the plate.
Con: running out of condiment could be a show stopper.
Can I get a kick in the pants along with the old "they work in the [some other] industry instead of in tech, so they are likely to be idiots" nonsense?
> Never mind that many real estate tax regimes already include a component based on the land value.

It's strange, because almost all property tax systems in the US are based on ad valorem taxation.

I'm personally opposed to the concept as a matter of fundamental principle. Society can't function if people's property rights are constantly under the threat of being usurped by someone whose intended uses might generate more tax revenue for the state. People should have a right to use the property they own in the way that generates maximum value for them -- that's the point of property ownership. It's also why real-world ad valorem tax regimes usually include homestead exemptions or something similar.

Some of these LVT proposals amount to just turning the whole of society into a tax farm, and suppressing all variation and outlier use cases in the name of maximizing tax revenue. Georgism is fundamentally flawed in its precepts, and would result in a rent-seeking political state acting as a monopolist landlord.
There's a deep dive into it via the 'Search Engine' podcast (Has PJ Vogt from 'Reply All' fame). The episode is called "Who's behind these spammy texts that I keep getting"

People who write for a living seem to often write about how AI is bad.

Reminds me of the Upton Sinclair quote about not expecting someone whose job depends on not understanding a thing to understand it.
Asbestos repeats the injury, endlessly, with near immunity to any chemical decomposition. Mechanical decomposition just makes it more dangerous, as it cleaves into sharper, tinier needle like structures. Other nanostructures aren't nearly as chemically stable, especially inside the body, and can be metabolized or expelled from the body through natural processes. Asbestos sticks, shatters, and all the jagged little needle pieces stick where they are.

Fiberglass, dust, and so forth can be expelled by the body and don't represent nearly the same level of harm as asbestos. The material's mechanical and chemical properties make a huge difference in how dangerous they are. Asbestos is chemically robust and mechanically fragile in a way that makes it more dangerous and sticky over time.

A nanotube that damages a few cells, then gets metabolized or oxidizes, and then expelled, is far different from a slowly exploding needle bomb that will reside in your body for decades, endlessly killing the cells it contacts, resulting in infections, inflammation, cancer, and sometimes even dead septic chunks of tissue.

Asbestos is, on balance, a terrible, horrible thing, and the harm it does can't be justified by the potential for good uses. Fiberglass insulation or carbon nanotubes aren't good for your lungs, but the dangers they pose can be reasonably considered against their benefits. these materials present a very different scale and magnitude of harm, especially over time.
I was prescribed 3-5000 iu daily and then I changed doctors. When I asked about continuing the vitamin the new doctors said "I won't recommend doing a test because almost everyone has low vit d levels, even with daily supplements. Just keep taking the pills. As long as its not a very high dose you should be fine".

My wife has a different doctor who does regular vitamin testing, she was prescribed 5000iu and a year and a half later her tests barely read "normal", still being on the borderline.
Very interested in the expansion of RL for transformers, but I can't quite tell what this project is.

Could you please add links to the documentation to the readme where it states "It includes detailed documentation".

Also maybe DPO should use the DDPG acronym instead so your repos Deterministic Policy Optimization isn't confused for trl's Direct Preference Optimization.

Floor tiles in your home. Lots of homes in the 50s/60s had asbestos floor tiles installed. These tiles aren't going to kill you. You can leave them alone, cover them with another layer of tile.

If you remove them, you can hire an abatement company which takes a tremendous level of precuation, but when you consider the tiny amount of asbestos in the tiles, the fact that its not really breathable, and your exposure is not over an extended period of time, removing tiles yourself with some basic precaution should be fine.

The sorts of asbestos you find around the house that you absolutely don't want to mess with would be things like pipe insulation. That stuff is loose, lightweight and can easily be breathed in.

Basically just use some common sense and understand what makes asbestos dangerous.
If they were just 11 is not that the server was compromised, but probably something targeting client side, like some sort of spear phishing, or a fake AP near enough a meeting point place.
My experience with using Datadog at (some) scale was that they focused on making it really, really easy to integrate their agent with your apps, and then once they had a large base of users with high switching costs they started rapidly raising prices.

In other words: My claim isn’t that they were better at ingestion but at onboarding and at creating switching costs.

Since that was how their leadership acted last time I used their code, I expect the same leadership to act the same way again with this other piece of code they own.

I'd argue it's hard to know whether you want to work at a company unless you interview. The cost of interviewing is miniscule compared to the cost of hiring.

I agree, always be courteous and professional, but you have to interview when given the opportunity. The wooing and interview goes both ways.
One can argue the German rocket scientists squirreled out by the US to work for NASA were not Nazi ideologues or mass murderers working in the death camps but merely paid lip service like most Germans and joined the party and the war effort to save their scientific careers and lives.

Dr Mengele on the other hand.
It is very different because of the size and layout. You almost feel like everyone, including the cooks, are at one big table. It is honestly one of my favorite places to eat alone. It can be really fun at times. Also, kind of dangerous too
From what I understand this would only apply for those who claim to be authorized resellers.
How do I know if a problem needs to be broken down by GPT, and how do I know if it broke the problem down correctly? What if GPT is broken or has a billing error, how do I break down the problem then?
Lots of fast food places use wrappers like this. Here's a picture of a Taco Bell wrapper that can be a regular taco, taco supreme, double decker taco, or "special" depending on the fold: https://www.flickr.com/photos/target_man_2000/16329290081
This right here describes the sentiment of a lot of folks on this site. I surmise a lot of folks here bashing the regulations wouldn't be too happy if say an AI HR decided that their performance was below par, and then when their job search later gets affected by some AI recruiter who eliminates based on resume keywords (well it's already happening today).
Most reliable is offline in some reliable jurisdiction, like Switzerland. I think, even blockchain could be demolished if large state will decide.

Other example:

Not information exactly, but they store DNA samples, where could also store information:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Svalbard_Global_Seed_Vault

Offline could become invisible online for some time but will reappear later, when heads cool.
that also means you cannot store it after being opened. at least bottled water can be stored
> Would we tolerate such doublespeak it were anything else?

Yes: identity theft. My identity wasn't "stolen", what really happened was a company gave a bad loan.

But calling it identity theft shifts the blame. Now it's my job to keep my data "safe", not their job to make sure they're giving the right person the loan.
Are your friends "at Walmart. Pavilions. Albertsons. And Wawa" cashiers or something?

If they had access to sales data they'd know this stuff is flying off the shelves in a confusing way. It's just edgy marketing fizzy water. But it's extremely popular with early 20s dudes right now.
I suppose I am mostly characterizing what Disney has been offering for the last five years. Even they have managed a few exceptions, like Andor.
Who is "they"? EU tech companies and their workers definitely don't have it better than American ones

I've heard one CEO been asked about gen-ai tools to be used in the company. The answer was vague, like they are evaluating the tooling. However one good example was made: chatgpt is really good in writing mails, and in summarizing text as well.

He said they don't want to have situation when sender is using chatgpt to write a fancy mail and recipient is using chatgpt to read it. However I think that it is the direction where we are going right now.
It's not really "all this work," once you have good prompts you can use them to crank out a lot of code very quickly. You can use it to crank out thousands of lines of code a day that are somewhat formulaic, but not so formulaic that a simple rules based system could do it.

For example, I took text document with headers for table names and unordered lists for table columns, and had it produce a database schema which only required minor tuning, which I then used to generate sqlmodel classes and typescript types. Then I created an example component for one entity and it created similar components for the others in the schema. LLMS are exceptionally good at this sort of domain transformation, a decent engineer could easily crank out 2-5k lines/day if they were mostly doing this sort of work.
This is somewhat expected to be honest. I am rather pessimistic on the future solutions to such issues though. I can see only one possibility going forward: camera sensor manufactures will either voluntarily or forcibly implement hardware that inject cryptographic "watermarks" to the videos produced by their cameras. Any videos that do no bear valid watermarks are considered potentially "compromised" by GenAI.
Quoted from the article: When it comes to mood and mental health conditions, there is evidence to show that adults who maintain a healthy diet have fewer depressive symptoms. For instance, a French study found adherence to a Mediterranean diet in mid-life is linked to a lower risk of depression, particularly in men.
They do sell sparkling products, including IMO the best-tasting flavored sparkling waters on the market.

Agreed flat water out of a can is… not my favorite.
Cracker Barrel is truly awful. Worst chain restaurant in America.
If he didn't bring it back last time why would he bring it back the 2nd time? He'll probably do it right after he mandates lead piping in all schools.
Waffle House is an entity unto itself:

See: https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/kid-rock-arrested...

And the man himself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bct8stbZafI

Waffle House goes from nice to war zone and back again just about every day. It never closes, never... If a Waffle House is closed you better have a boat or a gun cause what ever comes next will likely require one or both.
>water is the most important substance to support human life

I'd say that was air.
I guess a can is better than cheap plastic that leeches into the water?
Core memory unlocked! I had completely forgotten about those things. When it worked it was pretty cool.

I guess the issue with driver based VR support is that the headset movement would be independent of the game code. Thus you would get a lot of issues because you are overriding the games camera system.
When why not just make a copycat brand. I thing the success of this brand is just survivorship bias. There is nothing special about it but the branding.
> Though coding all day sounds very appealing, most of software development time is spent on communicating with other people or other admin work instead of just writing code

This sounds very...big corp, which inevitably needs many professional box drawers, expert negotiators, smooth communicators, miracle alignment workers, and etc. But guess what, if you are in a core group in a small company, you function as a grad student: you tackle hard problems, you spend time discussing insights, you derive theories, and you spend most of your time writing software, be it requirement gathering, designing, code writing, debugging, or documenting. But you definitely don't and shouldn't spend most of your time talking to other teams.
> The universal good, and unappreciated reality, about accessibility is that it benefits everyone.

I think there are many cases where it benefits everyone, but probably many more cases where it has no positive OR negative effect for the median user. It doesn't improve the UX in a way that makes a difference to them.

The question in this, as in all things, is whether enough of your users will benefit from accessibility improvements to justify the marginal cost of implementing them versus not implementing them. And, at a more granular level, which improvements can be made to get the most benefit for the least cost.

You could probably more accurately say that accessibility never hurts anyone. But even that might get an objection, because there is a cost to implementing it, compared to working on new features, or polishing old ones.
Missing the point. There's a huge amount of us who are between "complete and bare metal understanding of the soc" and "using python". STM32 nailed it, RP2040 is gaining a reputation for complexity.
They sell a carbonated version, and a few flavored versions.

I still buy the carbonated (black can) from time to time. I didn't buy it sooner because I was under the assumption that "Liquid Death" would also be caffeinated, and I couldn't imagine an unflavored caffeinated beverage tasting good.
The NHS in the UK recommends everyone takes vitamin D supplements in autumn and winter, but says "Do not take more than 100 micrograms (4,000 IU) of vitamin D a day as it could be harmful." and talks specifically about the risk of high calcium levels. https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/vitamins-and-minerals/vitamin-...

This presumably has a lot to do with latitude though - there aren't many months in the UK where I regularly walk around with arms and legs uncovered.
Won't it be equally problematic for creators, particularly
reporters/journalists, whose real content is misidentified as fake?

This divide is obviously going to play out on two sides.

Proving authenticity may turn out to be as difficult as proving
fakeness. People will use this maliciously to flag and censor content
they dislike.
It didn't; there are still many roles for skilled assembly programmers in performance-critical or embedded systems. It's just their market share in the overall world of programming has decreased due to high-level programming languages; although better technology has increased the size of the market that might have demands for assembly.
Homicides in the US today are 7.8/100k, which is still above the 1950 number. I wonder what accounts for the difference. Globally, the US has a higher rate than other countries likely due to guns, but it’s not like guns were illegal in 1950.
That sounds like a good reason to keep the existing one as an opt-in possibility.

Cans are lined with plastic.

Canned water is a plastic membrane holding water with aluminum on the outside for structural integrity.

Same with boxed water but cardboard replaces the aluminum.
It's very strange that the serious position is to pretend like this was an organic social phenomenon, an incident of mass psychology, and ignore the fact that it was always, as far as any science goes, a physically impossible proposition, entirely fueled by successive administrations advocating for it in every mainstream media outlet. This was another reason why Russia was a nation of comic book style evil geniuses that have to be stopped: a bond-style brain scrambling sound ray.

Any sort of lesson learned that doesn't focus on the fact that this was a fraud, not a mistake, was not a good lesson to learn. But instead of learning any lesson, people are going to just forget about it, and when reminded, still think that it really happened.

That all the comments on this page are people saying that this syndrome - that has never been any definitive trace of, caused by a mystery sound weapon which we have no physical theory of how it would operate (only that at night it sounds just like crickets) - is actually still real and really happened, is shocking.
I've not seen anything to convince me that participating in this is a wise financial decision. My guess is that the stock falls below initial price within the first week.
No, I have no idea. It does seem that overall US literacy rates are much lower than you’d guess though. Certainly 2x worse than I thought before doing a single Google search.

So it seems wise for companies in general to make their processes accessible to the illiterate, especially if they have more accurate data about their employees’ literacy than this general data.

I only replied because OP seems to be getting jumped on for making a guess that feels uncomfortable to talk about.

GHWB also lied during the presidential debates. Afterward, his staff said, basically 'oops, sorry for the error'. That is, they were relying on Brandolini's Law to hold - and for people to believe the lie.

I'm sure this system is great once you know it, but it is a high learning curve and I do struggle to imagine a world where ePOS with a ticket system doesn't work better (both for the 'caller' and for the chef).
