Apparently the bars (les zincs) did exist in the XIX, but were mostly shiny and not necessarily zinc-plated. (more that zinc, like AI now, was the cool thing then)

https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zinc#Histoire

> L'utilisation du zinc pour le zincage du fer ... a permis l'essor de l'architecture de fer, ainsi les halles centrales de Paris, le palais de l'industrie, les nombreux théâtres et gares monumentales de chemin de fer entre 1860 et 1880.

https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zinc#Lexicographie

> Dans les années 1873 à 1876, les écrivains français consignant l'expression populaire, aussi bien Zola que Huysmans, nomment zinc la surface propre des bars anglais ou le revêtement brillant des comptoirs souvent étamés ou cuivrés, plus rarement zingués.

... which puts them, if preceding, nearly contemporaneous with elevators. (but copper bartops must have been a thing earlier?)

I suspect you’re right, and would like to add that perhaps the physical weight of the piece may also provide some insight. Small light weight pieces with many connectors likely have large amounts of use cases. Big pieces with small amounts probably not as much.

The axis upon which connections attach to may be another important variable.
This is exactly what surprised me as well. I'm literally now learning in depth WebStreams[1] in JS (vs the traditional Node Streams) and I've seen too many times the comparison of how "pipe() and pipeTo() behave just like Unix's pipes |". Reading this article makes me think this might not be the best comparison, specially since for many webdevs it's the first time for approaching some CS concepts. OTOH, the vast majority of webdevs don't really need to learn WebStreams in-depth.

Medicine is hard. Unlike, say, physics, you cannot experiment on people except in very specific circumstances. Rats, mice, chimps etc. aren't people, so researchers work on "animal models", but in many cases you're just giving lab rats an Alzheimer-like disease and curing them of an Alzheimer-like disease, which is nothing like curing actual Alzheimer in actual humans. (Yes, animal models often involve inducing a "fake" disease in animals — testing treatments for psoriasis involve giving imiquimod to genetically modified rats, for example. This activates some of the same immune pathways, but it ain't psoriasis.) Alzheimer is particularly hard because we can't really study what's going on in the brain while people are alive, and when they're dead and can be dissected, we can only see the remnants of that activity.

If science has been hyped up too much, I think we have the media to blame, not scientists. Media turns very early, pre-clinical, merely promising research into headlines like "Could This Promising New Discovery Be a Cure For X?" Meanwhile, tons of progress is being made; you probably just don't notice it. Monoclonal antibodies (like Humira) for autoimmune disorders like Crohn's, ulcerative colitis, arthritis, psoriasis, etc. have been complete game changers for people with autoimmune illnesses that involve the overexpression of certain cytokines like TNF. Same with JAK inhibitors and PDE4 inhibitors. There are tons of things with good treatments now, but you probably don't hear about them because it's not that sexy and therefore not covered by media. As for cancer, it's not a single, monolithic disease, but a whole lot of different ones (melanoma, lymphoma, leukemia etc. all have different causes). Huge leaps have been made with some (like melanoma), and for many cancers a lot more people are surviving than the 1950s when chemotherapy was in its infancy (methotrexate, the first chemo agent, was discovered in the late 40s) and most attempts to treat cancer involved surgery.

> I cannot even understand what I do stands for in the context of your question

That he had a higher budget than he knew what to do with. When I worked at Google I could bring up thousands of workers doing big tasks for hours without issue whenever I wanted, for me that was the same as being infinite since I never needed more, and that team didn't even have a particularly large budget. I can see a top ML team having enough compute budget to run a task on the entire Google scrape index dataset every day to test things, you don't need that much to do that, I wasn't that far from that.

At that point the issue is no longer budget but time for these projects to run and return a result. Of course that was before LLMs, the models before then weren't that expensive.
I found that it is about 180 people (according to the FAQ: https://www.savechandra.org/faq). Anyone know the breakdown of those roles? Like there are:

4 Operators who are responsible for the day-to-day pointing of the instrument, monitoring systems for health, etc. Some redundancy here so that people can take vacations, not be on-call all the time, etc.
3 Astrophysics post-docs who decide which proposals are worth spending telescope time on. (Need an odd number to break ties)
1 Orbit mechanics specialist (to make sure it stays aloft, etc)
2 Systems engineers who have a good "big-picture" idea of how the satellite works
2 X-ray instrument subject matter experts
2 programmers for firmware updates of the systems on the satellite
2 programmers for programming systems on the ground
2 I.T. support
1 data analyst
1 electrical engineer for electrical issues debugging on the satellite, etc.
1 RF/EE for the ground based and comms stuff
1 mechanical engineer for mechanical issues debugging on the satellite, etc.
2 more astrophysics Ph.D's for helping answer technical questions about the instrument from the principle investigator for each proposal accepted for telescope time.
4 managers

Or what does the day to day operations look like for this type of instrument? Must be more than tell the telescope where to point, and then feeding the stream of bits to the various universities to interpret the data.
The other half is that the canary is broad, and doesn't specify which government or agency made the request / gag order.

The "I didn't really talk about it, I just didn't NOT say I WASN'T talking about it" thing feels like a flimsy technicality. I think what's really protecting these canaries is that they're non-specific and one-time-only.

I don't think we're going to see many "I have not been gagged by the CIA on April 25, 2024" canaries going around, even though that technically uses the same loophole.

Hi, the email should be remindersync@turquoisehexagon.co.uk please let me know the issue you’re facing!
Almost immediately after OpenAI opened its API there were a raft of services to send auto-generated sales and marketing emails. Sure, there are other ways to generate unsolicited commercial emails. There are even services that will spam on your behalf. But, there's obviously a huge difference between an empty text editor and a service that generates plausibly phrased emails with virtually no effort.
Heh, just remember this when you hear someone complaining about how much LLMs make up and hallucinate. Humans just happen to be excellent bullshit generators when it comes to topics they are uncertain about.

Companies that sell users data for their own profit will never get users’ consent unless they either:

1. Use dark patterns to make withholding consent inconvenient or impossible

2. Compensate users for the use of their data (e.g. giving discounts or providing free products in exchange for giving up your privacy)

Obviously many companies would rather do #1 if they can. #2 is the Google approach and also the “put this OBD2 dongle in your car for cheaper insurance” model. But its even more profitable for an insurance company if they can avoid giving discounts to the smallish subset of good drivers who consent to being tracked, and just price all “reckless” drivers higher (because then the good drivers who still don’t want to be tracked aren’t compelled to switch insurers to get a good price). Of course, in this scenario the insurance company doesn’t need to care about the good driver whose rates unfairly go up because of a rarely triggered software bug that mischaracterizes his driving, so long as on average the classifier is mostly accurate.

My point here is that any effort to just make consent “more transparent to the consumer” is fruitless, because when users are actually given the choice, like the iOS dialog to allow Facebook to track you, they overwhelmingly won’t give consent unless there’s something in it for them. So automakers will probably just make the TOS checkbox consent slightly more onerous and annoying, to appease regulators, and it will end up like cookie banners.

> Gormally was finally well enough to go back to school—and ready to put the whole experience behind him. But he kept getting concussions. Three more times over the next three years, he hit his head playing sports: twice in soccer, and once during Ultimate Frisbee. With each concussion, he received the same spiel from medical providers: “There’s not much we can do for you.” “Go home and rest.” “These things tend to get better on their own.” Each time, it didn’t feel as if they did.

Two things it feels like we've started to forget as a society: doctors aren't gods, they are fallible, they don't have the answer to everything; and you aren't immortal, you are also fallible, vulnerable.

Synthesizing those two things, and the quote: you need to take responsibility for your own health. There's people who do that; and then there's people who take months to recover from a concussion, and upon barely recovering immediately go back to playing hard contact sports, twice, and then get interviewed for a magazine piece about how wrong doctors are.

Not sure what you mean: OpenAI's App Store doesn't charge and has discoverability. (hence the viability of the spam, hence TFA)

OP is likely affected by the change from plugins to GPTs

Now, users have to manually select an app. Whereas before, you'd have a list of, say, 5 apps and the AI would attempt to intelligently determine which app to use.

OpenAI said plugins didn't find product-market fit, and that's why they moved on.

It's worth opining there's an air of rushing around doing nothing with their product development. Like instead of "what should it be?", and building it, and sustaining it, it's a pastiche of every startup shibboleth you've ever heard - sprints, if 10-20% of the user base / 10^7 users aren't using it within 3-5 months, it's time to Pivot (throw away the working solution we invested in)

That makes sense when you're at 100 users in an uncertain market but at their scale, it reminds me more of how Google ended up with the reputation it has.

AMD would be selling 48GB 7900s or AI-only W7900s if they really wanted a consumer card ramp.

They don't. Not because they can't (they literally prevent OEMs from doing so, who would double up VRAM in a heartbeat without AMD lifting a finger), but because AMD doesn't want that.

I changed career paths post age 40 via a coding bootcamp.

Despite being a terrible student when I was younger, I found had a great time learning, and I've really enjoyed my job ever since.

I found myself in a strange position though, lots of services offered benefits to students, discounts, internships, storage / compute time etc. I was not enrolled in a traditional university (although they were administering it), and so I didn't qualify, for much of any of those kinds of offers. Most of the systems in place thought of students as a typical 4 year university student and frankly ... younger. One internship I applied to did not seem to clearly indicate they were only really interested in younger, and more traditional students until the second interview.

Some of these rules I get, they don't want someone abusing their free / discounts for other reasons and they have systems in place for dealing with traditional students.

With people changing jobs and seemingly continued potential for the need for job market retraining and related disruption and etc ... it feels like it's time to make some adjustments as far as what a "student" is and so on.
I have had same btrfs filesystem in use for 15+ years, with 6 disks of various sizes. And all hardware components changed at least once during the fileystsen lifetime.

Worst corruption was when one DIMM started corrupting data. As a result computer kept crashing and eventually refused to mount because of btrfs checksum mismatches.

Fix was to buy new HW. Then run btrfs filesystem repairs, which failed at some point but at least got the filesystem running as long as I did not touch the most corrupted locations, luckily it was RAID1 so most checksums had a correct value on another disk.
Unfortunately the checksum tree had on two locations corruption on both copies.
I had to open the raw disks with hex editor and change the offending byte to correct value, after which the filesystem has been running again smoothly for 5 years.

And to find the location to modify on the disks I built a custom kernel that printed the expected value and absolute disk position when it detected the specific corruption. Plus had to ask a friend to double check my changes since I did not have any backups.

I don't think you understand the word colonizer. The Muslims conquered and lived among the people. They created a civilization which non-Muslim minorities were a part of.
