Eh? How many taxi jobs have these displaced? Like, I think the answer is essentially zero.
Asia India and Africa don't care so much about licensing. Many companies have people working on their own pc. They'll work with pirated software and send files around by email. Usually there is a lot less infrastructure

Yes, literally everyone that wants to work from home is able to. That's what you're saying. That every single employable person decides whether to work from home?

Again, dogmatism.
Your standard office worker probably refinanced their mortgage at ~3% and is now laughing their way to the bank as their debt inflates away so they probably are profiting from it. I know I am.

Your standard retiree on the other hand who holds a lot of bonds that got absolutely hammered by inflation and rising interest rates is not doing so well.

Exactly. The main service/value a landlord provides is converting a massive down payment into a monthly payment and providing credibility to the bank.

Maintenance is largely ancillary.

Im a landlord. Maintenance is only like 2hrs of my labor per month. However, the unit purchase represents about 10,000 hours of my labor. The renter gets to pay maybe 40 hours of worth of labor per month.
Well they said I wouldn't believe so I clicked it!
My parents currently works at Walmart, they’re the one restocking supplies in the shelves. They are in their 60s and 70s, immigrants that became US citizens just last year. Also, they work night shifts.

Based on their feedback, Walmart is a very kind and good employer.
Taken literally this comment suggests that OpenAI et al actually want racist 4chan rants in ChatGPT's training data, or illegal child pornography in DALL-E's training data. Obviously that's not the case: the problem is that it's impossible to effectively audit the amount of data required to make generative AI work.

If Big Tech can't even catch pornography or explicit uses of the n-word, there's no way they'll be able to filter subtle LLM / art generator hallucinations.
When it starts to rain metal, aka the Kessler syndrome, is when the next phase of WWIII begins.
I would not claim it's more obvious, but this is an illustration on the cover of a mathematics journal. It should show mathematics, not an artistic misunderstanding. If people have to stop and think through the math to understand it, then it is doing its job properly. As it is, it just gives a bad name to the artistically minded.
I would really like it to be far more intelligent. For example, if I give it a request like “decorate all the lights in my house with Christmas colors“, it should know what to do.

You don't. And most of these OpenAI wrapper startups are failgets. The consensus from the buyers side is that they are disillusioned by the hype and dealing with the true reality of this hype cycle.

1. Consistent reactive UI - better UX and better DevX

2. Transactional by default - avoids concurrency bugs in production

3. End-to-end type safety, best-in-class TypeScript support for React and the backend

4. Explicit indexing for predictable backend performance in production (no unexpected deopts)

5. Super fast DevX: Save and have your code deployed. Flexible (optional) schema. Powerful reactive dashboard.

6. Feature-full: File storage, scheduling, text search, vector search all built in.

To the contrary, it would be strange if other mixed economies were somehow immune to this. There's a reason agricultural subsidies are corrupt in both the US and EU, and why zoning laws are a problem in both the US and EU. The same incentives will lead to the same outcome.

Slightly related, yesterday someone posted this AI-generated song:

https://www.udio.com/songs/p66uVGEgifEBLdoR5Ttyue

It's not that it's perfect, it's cheesy and commercial and obviously lacking some coherence- but it also has some pretty good parts and... performances... and if passed on radio it would certainly attract attention. A casual listener would hardly imagine that it's AI-generated.

The scariest part are the lyrics: "lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...". Nonsense, just pure mindless nonsense, sung with feeling and expression. I think this is a good example of the things to come.

I met the head of one of the largest French corporations once, and was pretty shocked at the degree of elitism, hierarchy, and concern about prestigious schools... SV is bottom up - you hire smart people and let them collaborate freely. The typical French approach is too silo the people from prestigious schools from the rest of the organization, so the 'smart' ones can work on ideas that the rest will implement.

It's a great way to limit the understanding of the designers (no hands in the mud) and limit the total utility of design. You end up solving the problems of the elites, only, since no one else is in the room.
Wot? Science isn't a democracy! The parent refs a preprint from a very reputable author, which has been somewhat peer-reviewed already *

Now, I got to the bottom of page 6 and my maths failed me: I can't follow the expansion, but I expect that the reviewers of Physica A or where ever the gentleman who wrote this sends it off to will be able to check. I do follow the principle of the proof though and it's pretty intuitive to me, for what that's worth.

Anyway, I can't say I give a hoot what the majority or minority think - and nor should anyone else. Read the paper for yourself and make up your mind.

He also thanks Eric Bach for inspiring discus- sions on some of the number theoretic estimates, and we hope to report some further improvements soon [7]. A similar result can be proved for Shor’s algorithm computing Discrete Logarithm, and will be reported later.
Hospitals that make profits should pay taxes
That is not true about doctors at _all_, especially inpatient. They have so many hours in a day to spend on patients. They are checking on them after hours, fielding calls, looking at lab results, responding to messages, preparing for the next day, filling out notes, reading new notes. So not only do they think about the job off work, there is lots of job to do off work as well.
Agreed, pixel perfect sprite collision detection has limited applicability in games, like missiles vs ship in shmups. And even then, one would probably want to implement a hitbox system smaller than the sprite images for fairness reasons.

My pixel perfect collision detection is not just sprite-to-sprite, but also sprite-to-playfield. I also signal on overlapping sprite-to-sprite rectangles.

Users can "turn off" the pixel-perfect collision detection to save on compute by resizing the sprite to anything other than 24x24 (even 24.1x24, which rounds down to 24x24 on the displayed sprite image.)

I want pixel perfect collision-detection for authenticity and to provide an eclectic programming tool that creators may find clever uses for.

So Lisbon will finally become a replica of San Francisco... /s [0]

Basically, European cities will have similar weather to cities West of the Rockies. So London will share temperatures with Vancouver overtime, and Oslo with Anchorage.

It would be a massive regional climate catastrophe, but worst case, at least European countries are rich enough to support the infra changes needed.

Silver lining, it would create a West African monsoon that would restart Saharan greening and push back desertification in the Sahel, but would suck for Egypt as most of their wheat comes from Russia+Ukraine, which would have shorter sowing seasons, but then again their climate would change to that of Southern Alberta+Saskatchewan.

But then again, might have positive effects for the Amazon [1]

Edit: that said, it appears that ICPC's AMOC model seems to have some issues with backtesting [2] All the more reason to err on the side of caution and ensure the status quo remains and the AMOC continues.

Right now I can access the Feedburner site with no issues.
Which is a very sensible decision given that VSCode is Typescript, and also it means it can run on the web. Also Typescript is a much nicer and faster language than Python.

But it does cause some awkwardness.
Yeah, after a certain amount (like enough to cover expenses, have a little fun, and build savings) and a certain amount of time, your income stops being something that makes you excited. This is especially true if you’re around other people who make the same as you do. If becomes normalized in your mind. Everyone needs a challenge and some goals. Something to look forward to.
If anyone has some background in optimization and is interested in the more technical side of things, I gave a talk at JOPT 2023, comparing MIP and CP approaches for this problem. The slides can be found here: https://github.com/PhilippeOlivier/jopt2023
is your issue with the title or the content?
Research in politically charged topics will be subject to many forces regarding what gets published. It's incredibly naive to think otherwise.
Go is a terrible point of comparison. Python’s type system should not pointlessly match what other languages have chosen due to some myopic dogma.

Python is a dynamic language where one of its major features is structural subtyping, aka duck typing. It’s effectively an alternative to inheritance. Features have been added to help support this, like TypedDicts and Protocols already. They don’t go far enough.

I want to be able to say “this function argument is a dictionary that has at least the keys a, b, and c.” It gives the contract that the function only accesses those keys, and others will be ignored. The type checker can check that the function doesn’t access undeclared keys and the annotation helps communicate to client code what the interface is supposed to be.

Lots of Python’s bolted on type checking seems to be straight jacketed to match what’s in C, Java, Go, etc. Those languages don’t contain the only possible type systems or static checkers. There’s a serious lack of imagination. Python’s type system should be designed around enabling and making safer what the language is already good at.
My guess is that this kind of research is even less rigorously performed than the p-hackers that are still getting unearthed. NGO folks with an axe to grind aren't the folks I'd expect to embrace RCT.
I'll take any solution that works.

We've been trying to convince people to emit less CO2 for decades and that sadly doesn't seem to be working well enough to get us out of this mess.
It has 4 settings, but those don't correspond to seconds https://owners.hyundaiusa.com/content/dam/hyundai/us/myhyund... (page 6-117).

Quote: "For example, if you drive at 56 mph (90 km/h), the distance is maintained as follows: Distance 4 - approximately 172 feet"

172 feet at 56 mph is 2.1 seconds.

Not saying that you are wrong (maybe a recent model has better cruise control), but I think most people vastly overestimate the adaptive cruise controls in their cars and ~4 seconds would, for reference, vastly outperform 2023 Tesla Y in that aspect.
It does, actually.

Yep, this journey is exactly the kind of thing I run into when I get prospects who want our product (observability) to be on-prem. What they actually want is assurances around data storage, retention, and controls; and a "throat to choke" to cover their asses in case something goes wrong. At least in this domain, very few people who need Observability actually need things to be on-prem as well.
I feel like it's the exact opposite, LLMs are great for ad revenue because you can create a ton of garbage and monetize it in a fraction of the time it takes actual content creators to make their content. Meanwhile, the actual good content is drowned in a sea of garbage and much harder to find

The barriers/costs for pushing AI generated noise are so low, I agree there's the potential for it to overwhelm human written content. In a sense it effectively happened to email, again with lots of $doom, but the timescale turned out to be a decade long frog boil. Nobody, or a close approximation to, runs their own email server any more.

In an ironic twist the gatekeepers of the semi-walled gardens/islands of email that arose are now harvesting it for training content. I do so despise those weekly machine generated synopses telling me how I am doing.

To me it makes sense to include interest rates, because even if a person doesn't have any loans (or get new ones), they pay current rates on the cost of loans, because businesses do have loans and they pass the costs through.
... and what's the problem with two RO mounts?
Two thoughts:

I agree most of the compatibility concerns mentioned are moot, but I guess it will cause small amounts of one minor ~forward-compatibility problem: people working on Fedora hardcode new paths that won't work on other distros unless/until they follow suit.

---

In late 2019 I started work on a tool for ~wrangling external shell script dependencies to help us package shell better in the nix ecosystem. (the tool itself is generic, but it's currently only packaged for nix.)

The main goal is to identify external dependencies in a ~source script, require them to be specified/present, and output a rewritten script with absolute paths.

It handles existing hardcoded paths by treating them as an error that the user has to address by either telling it to just resolve them as if they were bare, or to keep as-is.
Yes, that’s why the parent comment is relevant.
My post is mostly referring to children, who even with step by step instructions, may have some difficulty. Look at the stickers on this space shuttle: https://www.lego.com/cdn/cs/set/assets/blt6d09e0ada535ae04/1... , which require fairly precise alignment. Or the tiles on the roof of rivendell: https://www.lego.com/cdn/cs/set/assets/blt0a0c82506f8bd960/1... , and then there's topic of endurance with regards to larger sets.

That being said, I actually revise my thesis. Looking back, Lego used to have age ranges listed: https://images.brickset.com/sets/large/7893-1.jpg , however, it appears all sets now just list a single age with a plus sign. Thus it seems Lego has actually shifted more towards the age simply being capability, with the 18+ designation being the outlier.
Meh. Uncreative mass-produced music has existed forever.

There’s a charm to treating talent as some elusive gift bestowed on others. It elevates the mystery and power of what’s written; you can really get lost in the flow of words. But rest assured, you too given enough reading, writing, and collaboration can write just the same as the author. It’s not magic.
Ah, I guess it is big enterprise :)

If you can afford the fees, more power to you. Learning for the sake of learning is not a bad thing after all.

If you can't afford the fees and have to borrow money, take a second to consider doing this when you are 65 and tuition is (at least in my area) free in state schools.
I think the most actionable summary is this:

For the AMOC and other climate tipping points, the only action we can take to minimize the risk is to phase out fossil fuel use and stop deforestation as fast as possible. If we can reach zero emissions, further global warming will stop within years, and the sooner this happens the smaller the risk of passing devastating tipping points. It would also minimize many other losses, damages, and human suffering from “regular” global warming impacts (e.g., heatwaves, floods, droughts, harvest failures, wildfires, sea level rise), which are already happening all around us even without the passing of major climate tipping points.

I think they are right and still feel the urge to pretend it’s not happening or not affecting us so much so I can go on with life. This is probably the main problem. When we will finally feel enough pressure that it hurts so bad that we cannot ignore it anymore, it might be too late. Those tipping point frighten me even more than the gradual warming.

Possible it's AI bot output. It'd be cool if some journalists would try to track down the humans supposedly responsible for this kind of post, see if a) they exist and b) if so why they believe what they believe.

These are actually pretty good. I use zsh / oh-my-zsh / starship and fzf for my history and these are great. I'm not as maximalist as this but the minimalist config doesn't give me that much utility.
Going one level deeper, even AI-generated training data which doesn't contain hallucinations or other obvious errors could still negatively affect the performance of a new model. GenAI models have a tendency to repeat the same cliches, in sentence structure or the composition of images or whatever else, so even if their output is "fine" in the sense that it's factually correct and everyone has the right number of fingers, a model trained on it will still internalize those cliches and make them even more likely to show up again. That's even harder to audit out because it would only become apparent in aggregate when you realise your new model has learned to interpret "fantasy artwork" as "fantasy artwork in the generic Midjourney RLHF style" since it was trained on so many examples of that.
Thank you. I think you are correct.
Yeah, it'll all be about the model. I do a fair bit of machine translation and the Helinski opus models are generally good enough for groking what a text is about. Definitely better than the examples above.
