Classic case of applying LLMs to a real world business problem. It's exactly the right time to be building something like this, love to see it!
Which makes the case of china interference seems more plausible now.
What exactly does this do? They have examples with a divider in the middle that you can move around and one side says "input" and the other "output". However, no matter where I move the slider, both sides look identical to me. What should I be focusing on exactly to see a difference?
things change. similarly ELIZA isn't the same 'chat-bot' that everyone refers to LLMs as now.

It allows you to see content typically hidden on other platforms. There should be freedom of choice. Its not like TikTok is the only game in town so if you are that triggered by the content that is on there then you should just log onto Meta platforms and leave the settings to restrict certain political posts that they quietly pushed to the "ON" setting.

It certainly ain't the question the IT department is asking in my experience.
Both the dndkit and pragmatic-drag-and-drop are great for simple use cases. If you're building something complex though, neither will cut it, nor will any other dnd library I've seen. I built a card game interface last year that involved 3 forms of droppable:

- a hand, where cards were display in a row and could be reordered

- a pile, where cards stacked and only showed the topmost card, which could be dragged off the pile

- a play area, where cards were freely arranged and overlapped each other based on which was moved most recently (and thus "on top"), and in which groups of cards could be moved as a unit via drag-select

For cases like this, these libraries prove woefully inadequate. I had to hand-write the whole thing and it was by far the most challenging front-end work I've ever done, especially since it's multiplayer.
Destroying competitors is just about the most laissez faire capitalist thing imaginable.

Sinclair ZX-80 was $625 in today's prices when it was released in 1980. Not too crazy.

EDIT: You could get an assembler/dis-assembler for the ZX-81 for $20 (1982). Also at the time a lot of software was "shared" between enthusiasts.

gangs make money by selling drugs. they use that money to buy guns.

they then have turf wars over where they can sell drugs.

that leads to shootings which strike innocent civilians.

what do you suggest the police do? allow those gangs to sell the drugs and kill each other and other innocent bystanders?

also this thread is about whether they should monitor shootings...
Thanks, that's a neat resource to making hexadecimal numbers for memorizable and easier to transmit phonetically with some built in error checking from the odd/even list alternation.

However, for the core purpose of the phonetic transmission, it seems needlessly verbose and cumbersome. The short wordlist combines with some fairly long component words to make the phonetic representation unnecessarily long. Additionally, I'm not super into some of the fairly obscure names and words included on that list. If I don't need memorability and hexadecimal atomicity, it doesn't seem worth using.

SK's problem is that unlike Japan with zaibatsu there was basically no movement/attempt to delimitate the powers of chaebols. Result: You "average" SK person is quite happy to launch into "deep state" related topics and has been ready to do so for the last (at least) 20 years.

WWII gave the US opportunity to dramatically expand its Pacific sphere of influence right to China's shores and borders. At that time, China was largely turned inward, modernizing and recovering. But China is no longer in that condition and openly signals that they're ready to start asserting their own influence over the region.

Further, the escalation of NATO/Russian tensions, the war in Ukraine, and resurgent Gaza conflict, have all contributed to a specific window of opportunity for China to act as these each spread US readiness thinner than at quieter times.

This has all unequivocally and openly set China as an adversary to the US until that "sphere of influence" conflict is resolved. They're not hiding it, the US is not hiding it. There's no question about this except among people who just happened not to be paying attention to what's going on in the region.

We can hope (perhaps too optimistically) for a gradual diplomatic reorganization or deescalation without hot trade or military conflict, but the whole world is preparing -- on many fronts -- for more confrontational scenarios.
It wouldn't be very useful, since a TS-in-JS runtime would have significant performance overhead, and a TS-in-WASM runtime would have very expensive JS interop plus cross-language-GC hurdles. Might be less bad with WASM GC.

Marc Andreessen is the hypothetical person from a hundred years ago. It's a scathing criticism of Marc Andreessen.
I’m eagerly anticipating a Snapdragon X Elite mainboard. Complete pipe dream, but a few years down the line I would love an electric car designed to be as repairable as a framework laptop. Knowing I could easily do maintenance, upgrades, and software updates would be amazing.

Use something like an Aube RC840T-240; it generates an isolated 24vac supply and has an isolated normally-open 24vac input for closing the contactor. Using anything else is liable to cause life-threatening spiciness if something goes wrong.

Agreed. I'm 27 and still save a lot of new music. But I've looked back at my older playlists from college and was probably saving 10x more songs back then. Full-time job definitely affected that
I fully agree that any way you cut it, LLMs are more useful than looking for hash collisions.

The trouble I have is, what determines whether AI grow to 0.5% (or whatever %) of our electricity usage is not whether the AI is a net good for humanity even considering power use. It's going to be determined by whether the AI is a net benefit for the bank account of the people with the means to make AI.

We can just as easily have a situation where AI grows to 0.5% electricity usage, is economically viable for those in control of it, while having a net negative impact for the rest of society.

As a parent said, a carbon tax would address a lot of this and would be great for a lot of reasons.

The breach is in wet-bulb temperature, not dry-bulb temperature. When you hear weather reports cover the temperature, then it's going to be the dry-bulb temperature--the actual temperature of the air.

Wet-bulb temperature is the minimum temperature you can reach by evaporative cooling (i.e., sweating). When wet-bulb temperature gets too close to core body temperature, you are physically incapable of shedding heat if you are not in air-conditioning, and how close it needs to be depends on how good health you are in.

But we actually have seen deaths in previous heat waves, which largely didn't even breach 30C wet-bulb. The 2003 European heat wave caused about 70,000 people to die, for example.

Guilds were something very different.

They were oligarchic rather than democratic: only masters were full members. They were monopolies rather than competing in the market: you had to be a member of the relevant guild if you wanted to do business. And they were not businesses: each master ran their own business instead of working for the guild.

Thats easy to answer.

The reason why is because they'd get paid 10s of billions of billions of dollars for it, and otherwise their investment would massively lose a large amount of value otherwise.

Also, bytedance wouldn't be competing with tiktok anymore in those markets as they'd have sold it off.

So the choice is either to make a bunch of money, or to instead have their investment become worthless.

As an example of "not understanding the problem space" it's mind-blowing sometimes to think about how a disability is only a disability in the context of a particular way of living. If you're confined to a wheelchair and all the work surfaces and other affordances are above neck level for you, then it's a disability. But if those work surfaces are moved and extra space provided it's not a disability in that environment. It's just that people outside of a wheelchair can't identify the little assumptions and design features that accommodate them because they're the default in our culture.

Sure, I use Raycast, including its Raycast AI feature and snippets feature. I also have Raycast script commands (mostly specially-formatted shell and Python scripts) that integrate with internal systems, such as our firewall, help desk, and MDM systems, as well as Linux servers via SSH.

For help desk tickets, I have a script that pulls new tickets, reads the information for each one, determines a likely next action (response, resolution, or follow-up questions), and asks me if I want to proceed with the response. Most of the time, I hit "y" + Enter, and the script handles the response.

The responses are always well-written, cheery, and concise, regardless of my current mood or level of distraction, and I've received good feedback on them.

I also use the Raycast AI commands "Improve Writing" and "Summarize" several times a day on emails, documentation, tickets, and other text. I select the text in any window, hit a hotkey to launch the action, and it quickly performs the action on the selected text and optionally replaces the selected text or copies it to my clipboard. It's a very efficient process.

My goal is to automate anything I do at least once per day.

In addition to Raycast, I had much of this set up on Alfred (what I used prior), Albert and now ulauncher on my Linux box, and the launcher that comes with Power Toys on Windows. I could also do all of this with scripts in zsh.

I'm an older Zoomer and this was never the case for radio in my lifetime [1]. I heard "college radio stations" being a bastion of this but I've never listened to one myself.

One of the earliest internet services I remember loving was Pandora because it recommended me artists I never heard on the radio and was the start of my love of music.

Thereby really putting the Corp into HashiCorp.
This is not about suppressing content. ByteDance will be able to sell the company and even profit from it.
This works because casts are allowed to quietly create values whose types are wrong. It would have been better if the cast added a runtime check, or at least we distinguish sound (checked) and unsound casts the way C++ does.

I think Haskell avoid this by actually requiring you to write sound conversion functions between phantom types (it helps that phantom types don't involve any visible state at runtime).
