Why look at the end result in isolation?

I definitely agree that you shouldn't. To me absolutist arguments about if AI-generated content is art or not makes no sense. AI is a tool, like for example carpentry, that can be used for many purposes. Most carpentry isn't art, it's craftsmen building useful things and solving practical problems. But there are definitely artists out there using carpentry as the medium in which they express their artistic intent.
I have to do that sometimes as well. Said party told us it's "better than a picture of the document". No idea.
In Australia, at most domestic airports, you can enter the secure area without a boarding pass. For example, as I saw on the last domestic flight I caught, you can give a teary farewell right before they board.

Also, in Australia at most domestic airports and for most airlines they don’t check ID when checking in or when boarding.

I found this odd and happened to be talking to a friend a few days later who is a travel agent, has been one for 20+ years, and knows a lot about systems here and in other countries. He said that very few domestic terminals in other countries allow a person into the secure area without a boarding pass. (It used to be fairly common.)
And not to forget that this also comes from a discrepancy between the fact a lot of people start with a design and want a CSS that matches that design, when CSS was made more as a theme system where you make a theme and let it handle placement and design. The result is clunky complex CSS to fight the browser into placing things an exact way and giving each element a different look.

In my opinion, this was a failure of communication from the beginning, with a huge divide between "I want my website to look like this because I drew it on paper with my designer friend" and "css is a cool new way of doing decent programmatic ux/ui.
“Suck it up”?

That attitude is why we have Discord and why it’s so popular, and also why IRC is not. People want features like scrollback when they’re not connected without having a set up screen session via SSH. They want to mobile app, It doesn’t even have to be that good of a mobile app. Yeah, I know you can do all of these things with IRC but people just want it all nicely packaged up by a company who has a UX team to make things nice and easy For them.

Looking at the success of slack, there’s a lot of money to be had if you don’t try and force people to “suck it up”.

There are good salesmen and bad salesmen, and telling customers to “suck it up “ is not a winning move.
Yes, and flight specific typically, maybe it depends on airline, but at least generally it's not like a permanent ticket that gets you through to the gates for any flight, you still 'book', you just can't necessarily get a seat or boarding pass until the last minute at the gate (at check-in if it's quieter).

It's trivial. For example, most macOS apps can already get these permissions. Apple can grant special permissions for Siri quite easily.

I don't sense that GPT4 is "dumb as shit". I sense that it's extremely capable and very close to changing everything if, for example, macOS completely integrates GPT4.

It used to be well known in the USA before they changed security that if you knew the airlines and flight patterns you could fly for free, by just getting on non full flights.
> but typically rust or c++ would be faster after heavy optimisation;

it is concerning how much digging was required to optimize rust code in this case.
To be pedantic, this isn't the operation he gave - "split an integer into 2 smaller integers" is the operation, but 2 into [3, -1] is splitting it into a larger and smaller integer.

Read literally, the numbers are constrained to not jump over the 0. It might depend on interpretation (absolute value or distance from positive infinity?); but negatives are tricky to handle with these rules and I think they might be illegal.
I... Don't think so?

Soviet Union as a materially poor country will not pour so much money into exploring space if it wasn't so important politically at the moment.

The US was much wealthier, but also skipped space spendings the first moment politics no longer persuaded space exploration.

Stuff like GPS and especially Glonass were also borne out of political goals. Same for ISS.

If anything, the only way we may get to explore solar system is via political push.

This isn’t true. I’ve flown many times within the EU out of Sweden without showing ID at any point in the process.

Also if the security at the airport works, why would they need to see your ID anyway?

Edit: see here https://europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/travel/entry-exit/eu-c... :

> When do I need to show a passport or ID card?

> You don't normally need to show your passport or ID when crossing the internal borders of the Schengen area. However, all Schengen area countries (see below) are allowed to reintroduce temporary border controls in extraordinary circumstances, for example, in case of a threat to public policy or national security.
A mature production grade optimising JIT compiler codebase feels very it is weighty to understand for a newcomer in order to add value to the space because there's so much content to learn and be familiar with.

I think so. Many people have some knowledge of high level LLM stuff, e.g. by using tensorflow, pytorch or similar. All of these libraries intentionally hide a lot of the details behind abstractions and having an example where every single detail is made totally explicit seems like something that could be very valuable if you want to understand the topic deeply.
Slavery wasn’t really that profitable outside of the cotton belt, though. Yes there were still slaves in the North until the early to mid 1800s but it’s not clear that its impact on the economic prosperity of those states was ever particularly significant.

> not all the wealth built on slavery in the Confederacy was

Not to say that even the free states in the Northeast massively benefited economically from the cotton trade in the decades that preceded the war.

Coconut water has high levels of potassium, and in excess, has been noted in case reports to cause severe hyperkalemia. This link has more information:

With this comment you've demonstrated why voting machines will never be trusted fully; lack of understanding.

You understand paper and pen. It's right there. A child fully understands the dynamic.

As soon as the process moves into a machine, you cannot even tell if your checkmark is really counted.

This is doubly worked into distrust, by the amount of bugs, weird isses, and strange behaviour software exhibits to end users. People are trained from youth, via personal experience, how incredibly buggy and untrustworthy computers are.

They crash, can lose data, be wrong, and the worst of it? The layman cannot even figure out why. Computers are a black box, a mystery, they function by magic.

No expert, no claims of audits, or oversight, will ever, ever refute what end users know. Computers make mistakes all the time.

Taking these impressions and incorporating them into the votng system is madness for democracy.
I agree with the author that using standard pip and virtualenv etc. is fine. I feel like people want software with massive guard rails that they can just prod at until it does the right thing with no danger of it doing the wrong thing. That's not been my experience with working with computers or any other machines and it won't get you very far as a software engineer. The Python tools are really powerful and flexible but you need to learn how it works. Just a little bit.
Also, this assumes the checks are actually performed - which is a compute intensive operation for a human (names in various languages, etc). I once accidentally swapped passports with my wife, and we both boarded without questions. We dont share last names, and, of course, dont look much alike. Its bad security to rely on tired people doing annoying repeatable tasks where the risk of something going wrong is so low.
This is the importance of working right each time. If the digital scanner makes mistakes even 1% of the time, the gate checkers will learn to ignore it when it squeaks.
Because if they just said “X” people would assume it was a copy-editing mistake. Truly terrible branding. Remember The Artist Formerly Known as Prince?

> It's interesting that we use machines, and when they flag the type of error they were designed to identify, we simply assume they don't work.

The question is what's the incidence rate of real glitches. If the system errs on 1% of boarding passes, staff will be used to overriding it.
I think a second aspect is developing local capabilities to reach far into Russia, i.e. the long-range, one-way drones (and now Cessnas)
I feel it would be fun to make the diagrams into category theoretical ologs, which naturally represent relational schemas. You could implement multiple databases, or just one. A functor from an Olog to a value category is a database instance. Natural transforms between instances are migrations.

You can even model exotic dbs, like probabilistic dbs, algebraic dbs, and ontologies.

Not actually sure about how ready for prime time this kind of idea is. I mainly use ologs to sketch schemas and migrations. It might be a huge scary scope creep to pick up categories just to draw some ERD diagrams. But they might inspire your underlying data structures, and how you adapt them to different DBMSs.
This… seems like a terrible idea? I mean, it’s Musk, so of course, but still. Like, if someone is hiding their Mark of Shame, if they’re forced to display it they might just unsubscribe.
Eating any one food for a long time is going to have negative consequences because unless that food is a meal replacement shake, you're going to need to get the vitals not in that food from somewhere.

Not just those impressions, but those realities.

The trust model for paper ballots and observed human counting is so superior to any proposed or implemented electronic voting that it's madness to downgrade to electronic.
It would be handy to give street mappers some sort of defense tool from dogs. Like air horn, sticks or maybe peper spray. India has a huge problem with packs of wild street dogs, that regularly attack and kill people. It is dangerous to roam on streets you do not know very well.

I'm clearly refuting this – "because Modi complained" in the GPs post.
And your linked article is making an unsubstantiated claim based on "source with direct knowledge". That's just not credible enough.
No, no ID at all required generally for domestic flights within Schengen or the UK/Ireland CTA (but is between both).

However, some airlines insist on passports, such as Ryanair.
Paying $100M/acre for land would only be the case in the most expensive parts of the city, but there is nothing (outside of zoning) requiring you use the most expensive land, and most of that land already has a tall building on it which doesn't make for an ideal site when you want to build a new one. There exist properties for sale in San Francisco with more than an acre of land that cost less than $10M, and indeed the average cost of land is less than $10M/acre.

Your method of calculating costs is also flawed. Things like loan interest, taxes and realtor fees are a percentage of the other costs, not a fixed amount. If construction and regulatory costs were lower then you could take out a smaller loan and pay less interest etc.

The dominant costs here are the premium on sites zoned for tall buildings, which is the cost of zoning rather then cost of land and could be alleviated with the stroke of a pen, and construction costs which are themselves significantly higher than necessary as a result of regulatory requirements.
Fwiw this is what I assume apple's long-term ai strategy is.

Let the hype-funded unicorns fight to develop (& end up commodifying) the tech and then design/sell selling devices that can support it locally. In that world, the AI assistant that you buy is a discrete piece of hardware, rather than a software treadmill.

Of course, this could mean that you end up on a hardware treadmill, but I think that's probably less bad, granted we can do something about the e-waste.
Suno Chirp was a breakthrough. I assume the founders of Udio, who are former Deepmind employees, used a similar approach.
I’m not meaning to equate the level of effort or skill involved. And I’ll grant that I know very little about music composition beyond my experience in Middle School band in which the musicians’ personality and skill presents a significant constraint for the conductor/arranger :)

I would readily compare the experience of reading Snow Crash (one of the first SciFi books I read of my own volition) to the output that a LLM may produce from such a prompt. My iPhone informs me that I’ve spent nearly 10 hours playing with Characters.ai in which SF storytelling characters are my favorite to interact with. When I first read Snow Crash I felt like “finally, an author that understands that part of the story that _I’m_ interested in!” and my experiences of AI driven creative writing has felt similar. Certainly it feels less “magical” since I’m aware that I’m customizing the author to my personal taste - is that “magic” of feeling connected to the artist *the* art?
> The slave South couldn't even make shoes

In part because they didn’t need to, they could just buy them and other goods the from the north/Europe and focus on the production of cotton which was more profitable and lucrative (the Northern states didn’t have that option). The pre civil war economy was highly specialized and interlinked, the Northeast benefited massively from slavery and cotton exports which brought in large amounts of capital and credit to the country which in part made industrialization possible.

> History shows that free people outproduce slaves by a wide margin. Running an industrial slave economy has been tried a few times, with dismal results.

That doesn’t seem true at all and in fact the complete opposite if we focus on preindustrial agriculture. Slaves were much more productive at producing cash crops like cotton or especially sugar cane than free people.
Interesting. I use HA as my hub but haven’t been following closely with what’s possible. I’m going to have to grab one of these Atom Voice boxes and try it out.

I’m increasingly infuriated with the Alex Echos. Specifically the “while you wait..” or “did you know…”. The only thing I trust the Echos to do is turn on/off devices, set timers, and set reminders (same as what I trust Siri for). I imagine with Atom you can probably hook up an LLM somewhere in the chain which would be awesome, especially if I can use a local model.

Another thing I want to banish from my life is “An item on your subscribe and save is not available”, that’s it, that’s the message. What item? Doesn’t matter. What about if you ask? Alexa has no clue what you are talking about and the app is useless for this specific purpose and in general. In fact the app is horrible to work with, it’s slow and buggy. I want to find the developers of both the app and this “feature” and just ask them why they hate users.

Alexa was neat for a while but I’ve replaced the music playing ability with Sonos which does a way better job and now I really wish Sonos had a HA Voice integration. I can stomach setting up these Atom boxes everywhere instead though.
Still quite possible, just boarded a flight that had two gates past the final check, you could (not entirely easily, but quite accidentally) switch if both were active.

Interesting! I'm not sure to be honest. I imagine in practice it's hard to get a pure twist without any bending, and if the system can't detect any difference with a twist then the need to detect it is also nullified as it is effectively the same system.
Multi-modal emotional information via personalized skin facial interface
I would disagree with that. The boarding ID had been used once and can't (shouldn't) be used twice. In that case the first use was in error but the system can't know that. So the correct course of action would be to re-check everyone's boarding pass. That may have been impractical / undesirable, but simply ignoring the error as a bug seems careless.

The post WW2 cold war is what pushed our understanding of space. So actually modern politics helped with that.
Part of the big challenge here in my mind is that companies are reluctant to put data into the world for others to consume in a friendly way - if, say, event organisers, put data out as open-API's, there would be the opportunity for a self-hosted or "convenient" third party (ala Google, Amazon) to create conversational experiences on top of it - private user and privacy uninterested user is well served (as is "event seller" as it's exposed to more people). But, as long as we're stuck with systems having to pull data by web scraping, no one can build a good solution that could work for either scenario.

Certainly not the US. Unless you think 45 square miles is a “huge chunk”.

Not trying to downplay the atrocities but the population density in North America was very low when colonization started in the 1600s. Much of the land was basically abandoned when European settlers first arrived.

Yes but I’m not sure annexing a few small islands in the Pacific had a huge impact on economic growth.

Same applies to Guam and Puerto Rico.

US certainly committed numerous inexcusable atrocities in the Philippines but I’m not sure it benefited that much from it relatively to the considerable costs of the whole occupation.
