That's probably because of this (as mentioned in the timeline):

>2024-02-29: On GitHub, @teknoraver https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/31550 to stop linking liblzma into libsystemd. It appears that this would have defeated the attack. https://doublepulsar.com/inside-the-failed-attempt-to-backdo... that knowing this was on the way may have accelerated the attacker’s schedule. It is unclear whether any earlier discussions exist that would have tipped them off.
i'm always amazed how little appreciation people have for massive amount of water. a 3m wave will more than ruin your day. trust me, it's plenty
Also worth noting: when the iPod came out, iTunes had been around for a while. Many people had a decent music library on the Mac (from ripping CDs or Napster), and with the iPod, you just plugged it in, and within minutes you had the entire library in your pocket to go, including metadata (playlists, play counts, etc.).

It was pretty convenient, and very well executed.
That's a very good point, I was trying to google how buttons on a calculator communicate with the chips underneath, basically how contacts work, and Googling that kept giving me stuff about calculators not electronics, but ChatGPT gave me the perfect bullet point breakdown because it understood the context of my more general question. People often communicate/think in analogies to the underlying concepts.

I don't see any major TSMC fabs[0] near the epicenter in Hualien. The Taichung fabs are closer but on the western side, while the Tainan fabs are pretty far away from the quake.

Edit: There will be some disruption as TSMC has evacuated employees[1]. No structural damage reported, though.

For the same reason why someone might have a toaster just for bread.

In Asian households it's common for us to be eating rice everyday, with side dishes. So it's also really common for us to have rice cookers for convenience.
Thanks! Appreciate the data points and insight.

Do you have a perspective on whether this will exacerbate the shortage of senior engineers in a few years, if way fewer new people enter the profession in that time period? Or will it be okay since the need for humans will reduce commensurately?
There's also Paypal MAstercard which gives you 3% on all purchases using the card through Paypal.

Depends on how many security vulnerabilities are in that payments system.

Or, I suppose, depending on whose value. The consultants that'll have to be hired by the poor shmuck who paid for that will make a fortune auditing and cleaning up the code.
Why are owners of capital deemed to be innocent when subject to the invisible hand and not the consumer? Answer is probably due to media influence paid for by the profits I alluded to earlier

To the dead comment beside me, asking why...

GPT-4 has a variety of tells. One of them is:

"This is not just about good thing, it's about another good thing." That "it's not just A, it's also B", or "it's more than A, it's B too" show up most any time you ask it for "persuasive" copy, like marketing, sales, or a rewrite of anything to make the reader a buyer.

It's disproportionately common in GPT-4 copywriting or copy-editing, relative to human copy.

Similar to seeing the word "Overall, ..." for a concluding paragraph, another tell.

Yes, at least up to the point of the context limit of the underlying model. If you needed to go beyond that, you would break the work up into separate "plans" (a plan is a set of tasks with an attached context and conversation).

The general workflow is to load some relevant context (could be a few files, an entire directory, a glob pattern, a URL, or piped in data), then send a prompt. Quick example:

plandex new
plandex load components/some-component.ts lib/api.ts package.json https://react.dev/reference/react/hooks
plan tell "Update the component in components/some-
components.ts to load data from the 'fetchFooBars'
function in 'lib/api.ts' and then display it in a
datagrid. Use a suitable datagrid library."

From there the plan will start streaming. Existing files will be updated and new files created as needed.

One thing I like about it for large codebases compared to IDE-based tools I've tried is that it gives me precise control over context. A lot of tools try to index the whole codebase and it's pretty opaque--you never really know what the model is working with.
"What about it?" is a very real question that I still want to know the answer to. What did you want as a response when you asked that?

"If you're confused by the wording" was definitely condescending, but I think interpreting guinea-unicorn's post that way doesn't make sense. Even in your reply you didn't say you think it's the right interpretation, just that someone might believe the NSA could "only be up to evil". That followup gives the impression you were giving an FYI for readers. Which is nice to do, but then the "what about" doesn't fit.

So all of that is to say the words "what about" felt like you were deciding to read their post in an unfair way.

I'm happy to listen to an alternate explanation! But you ignored my request for why you said that, and I'm honestly kind of confused as to why that's what set you off.

So overall I think I think my first post can come across as fighty but I don't think the followups should suggest I'm making things fighty. I think my response to 2OEH8eoCRo0 was fine given the way they were ignoring half of the four sentences I had typed.
Thanks for that

Edit: On thinking about this tangent, it seems that if global regulation is the only solution, it would make sense to enforce regulation from the ship building side (in western countries), rather than the wrecking side (in developing countries) which will only displace the bad practices to less scrupulous countries. A solution might be sizable amount of money that had to be paid to escrow that could not be released back to the owner until the ship has been disposed of in an environmentally sound manner, incentivizing and funding the proper scrapping of ships. Or perhaps a levy which funds safety practices and equipment for scrapping companies
Most sugar I see sold (and probably flour too) is sold in plastic bags, not paper. You can probably find the really huge sizes in paper, but the smaller sizes that most people want (because of convenience, they don't want to buy a decade's worth of sugar at one time) are usually in plastic.
Grew up with a rice cooker in the house and it was used frequently. I actually didn’t buy a rice cooker as an adult until two months ago - and always made it stovetop. Was resistant and proud to just make it on the stove.

Cannot believe it took me so long to buy a rice cooker and wish I’d done it sooner. It just makes it way easier and more reproducible to make perfect rice. Plus some have a steamer tray and other features.

Knowing how to make it stove top is a good skill but prefer a rice cooker now.

It’s funny though - my family is mixed race with some being Asian and others being from Spain/Western Europe. Rice Can be prepared in so many different ways - paella has its own pan and cooking method that’s just as valid as a rice cooker.

They’re just different but rice cooker for daily use for me.
Imagine a 10 foot wall of water flooding the coast that just doesn't stop. Smaller tsunamis have devastated coastal regions before. People, beach houses, etc are swept away under that force even though the height is rather low.
I'm maybe naive in assuming that there is some kind of investigation going on that isn't playing out in public, but I would assume that years of emails going through Microsoft servers might make the identities of the cohorts in this attack difficult to hide?
Probably going need to recommend a rebreather setup and pressurized submersible to retreat to until after the tournament. SCUBA is going to have too many bubbles that reveal your position.
I'm kinda hoping that LLMs will get pushed into production use writing code before they have acceptable quality (because greed), and the result will be lots of crap that's so badly broken most of the time that there will be a massive pushback against said culture from the users. Maybe from the governments as well, after a few well-publicized infrastructure failures.
You probably know this, but Firefox and Chrome don't have the freedom to run their own browser engines on iOS and are little more than browser skins around the webkit core, so listing multiple browsers for a web issue on iOS usually doesn't mean much.
Follow-up question. I understand how Richter Scale + depth could be useful, academically. But when communicating with the public, wouldn't it be easier to have a single number - rather than requiring the public to understand the relationship between two different quantities? Maybe: surface-equivalent Richter scale?

Of course transitioning to a new standard would be even more confusing for a while.

Edit: apparently there are many different scales in wide use already. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seismic_magnitude_scales
Phantom Auto did this. They had cars ferrying people around CES 2018 in Vegas driven by remote drivers in LA. Apparently the company folded just a few weeks ago.
>GPT-4 is 82% more persuasive than humans,

That's a pretty low bar. Most humans these days aren't persuasive at all. They also don't write very well (even in their native language), whereas ChatGPT has excellent writing skills.
> Currently it is the low level, cross platform layer that is the most complex and the biggest hurdle towards making a game engine viable

I couldn't agree more. My goal is not to simply build "a better game engine", but to make this kind of low-level tech accessible at a higher level and with much better dev tools to a broader class of developers and applications

> Don't underestimate what an individual or small teams can produce if they are operating on a solid platform

This gets into my motivations for building a company - larger companies have the resources to build moats, but often can't quickly realign themselves to go after novel technical opportunities. It's not either / or - both models exist for very valid reasons.
I don't disagree, but it's really the other way around, if you have Prime it's worth getting that card and the same for these other special cases, all depending where most of your spending goes.

In general cashback on cards isn't going to save you much money, but it's still nice picking up several hundred dollars worth of cashback over the course of a year.
Tsunami warnings in Okinawa. Not in the main islands.
What’s the significance of an earthquake’s depth?
Of course! The delivery apps take 30% as well as delivery and service fees and most restaurants aren’t prepared to eat that loss or margin.
It’s especially obviously for items that have fairly standard costs (like a Kebab in Australia is about au$12 everywhere) but in the app they’re $17, plus fees.
3m is about 10 ft which is huge, though there are huger waves.
Probably not much to worry about in the US. The Fukushima earthquake was much more powerful, but the resulting tsunami did almost nothing to the US west coast. Some boats in Crescent City were wrecked, but that’s due to local geography funneling the wave a certain way. I’m on an island in the SF bay, we saw nothing.
Thanks, Fixed the credentials issue
An out-of-the-box UI for your OpenAI Assistant
i got kinda sick of people that don't know how to code asking me for help building an ai product and then i thought, ok maybe there's actually a product there. haha so here it is... Appified is a no-code way to connect your OpenAI Assistant and get an out-of-the-box website for it with streaming chat that you can iframe and even charge for a subscription (via Stripe) to chat with if you want to.

The DoJ doesn't want to split up Boeing, because then it'll be even less competitive against Airbus. Economies of scale are important in large manufacturing operations.

Boeing at this point is a sort of nationalized industry.
Lol. Like you are going to pay 1500$ per month for marginal infrastructure cost? Suburbans are pretty expensive as well as rural communities, I don't need a consultancy to see that.

Look at some of the poorer places in America and you can see what you can get with no property tax or other contributions.

Suburbia is unnecessarily subsidised.

> There most certainly is getwchar() and fgetwc()/getwc() on anything that's POSIX C95, so that's more or less everything that's not a vintage antique.

Apologies for the imprecision: by OS API, I meant syscall, at least on POSIX systems. The functions you refer to are C stdio things. Note also they implement on top of read(2) one of the two options I mentioned: "loop over getting the next N bytes and getting all complete characters so far (with some extra complexity around characters that cross chunk boundaries)".

btw, if we're being precise, getwchar gets a code point, and character might mean grapheme instead. Same is true for the `str::chars` call in the LLM's Rust snippet. The docstring for that method mentions this [1] because it was written in this century after people thought about this stuff a bit.

> portable C code to do so would be able to run on anything made after 1982.

Our comments are part of a thread discussing this prompt [2] that specifically requests Rust and this snippet in response [3]. Not portable C code. You can use those C stdio functions from Rust, but you really shouldn't without a very good reason. Rust has its own IO library that is safe and well integrated with other Rust things like `#![derive(Debug)]`.

The ban on plastic grocery bags has always felt silly to me when you can still walk out of the store with a 24 pack of bottled water, or candy where every individual piece is wrapped in plastic. And there's probably examples like that in every aisle.
The implicit assumption here is that a human "senior SWE" can engineer a model of the same quality that is capable of simulating him. Which is definitely not true with the best models that we have today - and they certainly can't simulate a senior SWE, so the actual bar is higher.

I'm not saying that the whole "robots building better robots" thing is a pipedream, but given where things are today, this is not something that's going to happen soon.
This is what Wirepas is doing with their mesh network. They have a DECT version coming soon
Well, "Walk/Talk" is one of the most effective method. If the parties are abled, a walk/talk will give enough time even for non-walkers to talk and bring up topics/points. If they get tired, then the talk had extended beyond its need.

TSMC Evacuates Production Lines After Major Taiwan Quake

I think this is funny. I worked on this team at Amazon for two years after successfully building an app similar to Dash Cart for another company using Elixir (which is still going). I repeatedly tried to convince Amazon to do Just Walk Out differently, but their toxic culture wouldn't hear of it. I got bored with the project (and a little disgruntled, to be honest) and left after my signing bonus ended.

I guess it is good that they figured it out in the long run, but they could have fixed this in 2020 if they had just listened.

Yeah, I reckon you'd be right. The 210cm Queen size is just within limits, would have to change my method for anything bigger.
I believe the word they’re looking for is “competition”. Specifically, “copy cat” competition like this has been around since the dawn of markets, and especially since the advent of food stores/grocers/supermarkets.

A16Z is a totally f-cktified VC. They made so much money with the pump and dump blockchain startups that they have completely lost their way.

Now you have complete moron GP/MD level people in echo chambers talking about technology and you cannot determine if it is a real technical discussion or they are simply targeting YOU as the next mark.

There is a HUGE difference between being successful by identifying trends and doing straight up rug-pulls. As a VC, their record is tainted and I would be suspicious of everything out of their mouths.
I really don't know what the answer is here, I think the practice of the store brand loosely copying the brand name's design to be an overwhelmingly positive thing. It's telling consumers that this product is intended to be a substitute and enables comparison shopping on the level of like-for-like.

I think it's hard to argue consumers are genuinely confused and think "That For Sure Isn't Butter" or "Trader Joe's Generic Foodstuff" is actually the brand name. Even in the article people weren't confused, they just thought the brand might have been contracted to make the generic like how people assume Kirkland Vodka is just Grey Goose.

I think foodstuffs is one of the industries that hasn't been wildly distorted by IP games thanks to some accidents of history. I would argue that the crazy amount of competition and variety that came from it is a property that should be emulated not eliminated.
I lived in a coastal region where, every storm season, people would get swept out to sea and drown because they were watching storm waves from the beach. Sometimes they'd even go in the water, out on jetties or out on piers, without any appreciation for the sheer forces at work that push the water around. With enough force, even ankle to knee deep water can sweep you off your feet and suck you out to sea.

Sadly parents let their kids do this and some have lost their lives.

The Mandela Effect is just a name we've come up with for identifying biological memory faults.
Yep, where I live (rent) a 3m wave would fill my house with 1m of water. Even if it was one quick wave, that washed over without staying long enough to completely flood the inside of my house, I'd probably at least have to deal with a bunch of water damage.
