> - it is more important to have desktop / mobile web app these days

On what are you basing this? Every normal person I know picks a native app over a web app.

> - pwa and mobile apps and tech are slowly getting good enough

This has been claimed for well over a decade, yet I can't tell the difference as a consumer.

> - if you are native ios or android you are limiting your jobs and business opportunities - native mobile dev is like niche inside niche these days. Probably half of jobs is typescript/javascript/ python related.

Technically a brain surgeon has fewer job opportunities than a dentist, yet they make way more money.

> - in current market and ai landscape your have to prototype and ship fast to be competitive even at the cost of slighly worse UX

This is quite a generalization. I think that in some markets users will tolerate a worse UX, and in some markets UX is everything. My company has done quite well by not compromising UX.

I think it's a false dichotomy that you can either build fast with a web app or slow with a native app. I can build some things in SwiftUI way faster than if I used web technology.

> The stop point is obvious to the individual and the therapist.

It's not at all. There are plenty of stories of people who realized that therapy was just causing them to ruminate on their problems, and that the therapist was just milking them for years before they wised up and walked away. That's not what I call "obvious".
The problem with DARE is that the message was "all drugs will kill you and your family if you so much as look in their direction, call the cops anytime you see anyone who looks even a bit drugged out".

Then some kids try some pot and discover that DARE was full of shit and they disregard the entire message or even rebel against it. Education programs are counterproductive when they are loaded with misinformation.
Yes, to me Apple lately didn't launch a groundbreaking or good consumer product like the iPod, MacBook, iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, AirPods, only good copycats like HomePod (Alexa), Apple Music (Spotify), Apple TV Plus (Netflix), AirTag (Tile), or bad copycats Vision Pro (Meta Quest).

But let's say from 2015 to today, what new groundbreaking or innovative consumer product was launched? I can only count Chat GPT. Stadia was innovative but failed. Self-driving cars are a thing but there are not yet for prime time.

The truth is, I realized this too late, and now I would also need to, maybe not reinstall, but at least reformat. So I have no idea what sort of impact this has, but clearly, this is not huge.

I'm speaking off the cuff but intuitively, like all roles, it obviously depends on the company and caliber of the person. What you are saying is kind of like, why does anyone need a CEO, employees generally know what to do. Maybe LEGO doesn't need a CPO because its a mature company with a brand and well defined product portfolio but a startup in a nascent technology needs someone with vision to design the experience and offering the company produces to meet customer needs.

Edit: Also, this is seemingly who would "talk to users" and talk to engineers looking at the "error logs" as well as many other touch points to determine an overarching strategy.
Yes, heroin overdose is much more often fatal than alcohol overdose.

(That doesn't change what the word 'overdose' means. If you want to be more specific than the word is, feel free to use adjectives, e.g., 'fatal overdose', 'deadly overdose', etc.)

> and that it'll stay genetically modified?

I honestly think the play here is to have customers continually inoculate with the same, or even improved, versions of their modified bacteria. Possibly with a very strong antibiotic course in between if a clean slate is needed. That would provide ample room to stay on top of mutations and gene swapping in-situ. Otherwise, you don't have a continuous revenue model or a successful product.

One of the main motivations that kept me from wanting to get involved with drugs was the T.V show COPS. As a young child I got to watch REALLY high people from the bottom rungs of society (all races and all creeds) get flashlight interrogated on T.V and or chased under mobile homes and crawl spaces by Belgian Malinois dogs out for blood. later in life if I got inebriated I'd think back to those faces on COPS and I'd start to feel shame and a return to sobriety. Being exposed to hard living (in the real world and not "scared straight" via prisoners) might have an effect that this author is breezing over.
Lol, true it can. Were you just eating one a day and still suffered that?
PGP doesn’t require the use of global directories so you can’t do strong validation.

This is a bypass game on something like proof point url protection that rewrites URLs to go through a central redirect so that reputation check can be separated from reputation delivery, usage detected, and one liner URLs still work. I’m over a decade out of this space so take with a grain of salt.

The tool could do a better job inspecting “oh that’s a pgp formatted massage”. You could probably just route them all to spam and almost no one would notice.
Diesel engines already have very high compression ratios. Compression ratio directly correlates with the ratio of temperature at combustion to the temperature outside the engine, which is the limiting factor in the Carnot efficiency. A gasoline engine will be able to get up to maybe 12:1 before knock is an issue, high-efficiency diesels can hit 25:1. Gas turbines can hit even higher ratios, but are far more complex & expensive (e.g. the GE GEnx-1B78/P2 turbofan has an overall compression ratio of 58 and thermal efficiency of 58%, but it has a list price somewhere around $20 million and is bigger than the entire truck cab).

But even that. Did you try to use GPT4 as a chess engine? I have issues with the Slav defense when i start with the queen's gambit, i tend to loose tempo or position, or both. I asked him continuations, and it was either wikipedia entries or nonsense, no in-between, no interesting insight. Now, i have asked a regional champion a bit before that (he is around 2.2k elo, so not exceptionally good) and although i can't seems to understand or use the concepts, he gave me interesting enough ideas to build on it.

Not saying that chatGPT isn't a great tool to write documentation or fiction (half my TTRPG campains are featuring description by ChatGPT), but i wouldn't call it intelligent.

> deny the risk entirely, or to act as if it's ridiculous to be concerned about such things in my opinion is just an intellectually ignorant position to hold.

This would take someone actually articulating what this risk you refer to is. All I have to go off of is Terminator, which is patently ridiculous. People in power would never relinquish this power to a computer without being able to dictate whom it benefits.
Your ideas about LSD being more dangerous than alcohol are not backed up by decent evidence.

Alcohol use kills both acutely and chronically. Alcohol is addictive. Long term use cause mental health issues.

LSD does not have the same health impacts and its lack of addiction potential gives it a significantly lower harm profile.

Do yourself a favour and read some material published by domain experts (may I recommend “Drugs Without the Hot Air” by David Nutt).
Don't excuse the fact that Chicago has around an 18 per 100k murder rate, while Zurich has a 3. I'm referencing murder rate as a proxy for overall crime as well.

I think they are too safety focused. Their recent emails explainging all the rules and disclosures in their terms of services I have to provide if I use their product and the far-left responses that I get from their LLM is something I would use personally, but not something I would use in a business product that I would deliver to customers by using their api.

When you’re trying to run a business, why get involved with vendor created headaches. It’s not competitive unless the LLM responses are way better.

"but IMO it’s more dangerous than both Alcohol and Tobacco even as people claim otherwise."

I could agree with tobacco but I don't believe LSD is more dangerous than alcohol. Most domestic violence, most fatal traffic accidents are under the influence of alcohol. It destroys families and communities. I don't see how LSD could be that damaging.

The only thing I remember is they made some old dude row around the oil tank on a tiny boat because they had apparently forgotten how fuel gauges and dip sticks work.

Thinking back on it, were they powering their pirate jetskis with heavy crude? Was there a distillation column set up on the oil tanker? I probably shouldn't think too hard about Wet Mad Max because I bet a lot of that movie doesn't really make sense on closer inspection.

A photo shop was a thing long before adobe made some software that could replace an entire photo shop and called it... Photoshop. Verb your nouns and that thing you do in a photo shop becomes "to photoshop"

I think the insistence on using the "Adobe® Photoshop®" is more that the term is already sort of generic and they are on shaky ground from the start. Sort of like windows, or dos, Microsoft goes hard always calling it "Microsoft Windows®" or "MS DOS®" because just windows, or disk operating system are already very generic terms.

Not that this will stop them from trying to sue you if you release products using those terms, Gotta give the lawyers something to do after all. Otherwise they would just be sitting around wasting money.

This is in contrast to Xerox a term invented specifically for a new invention and the company that invented it.

To be clear, LLMs are not capable of reasoning.

That's why some industries have separate "verification" and validation" (V&V) activities.

Verification is checking against formal or at least known requirements like those being discussed in this thread.

Validation is a set of processes for ensuring the specifications actually correspond to how the product ought to work. "How it ought to work" is open-ended and meant to include real-world aspects you didn't know beforehand. For example business logic assumptions. But despite being open-ended it is possible to formalise and track the process of looking for issues systematically.

In your example of YouTube showing Polish content when you travel, verification is the process of checking the website uses the IP correctly because using the IP is specified somewhere, but validation is the process of asking "what's the right thing to do when a user travels, is it really to use the IP?" and "let's systematically research what issues are affecting users due to incorrect specifications that we should change".

Ubuntu is highly likely to fully support your old laptop and is probably the simplest thing that might work. On the other hand if you want to make tinkering around to fix Linux a new hobby, Arch is probably the simplest thing that might work. If you want to do something impactful with your old laptop, auction it on Ebay and give all the proceeds to a food bank. Good luck.

IMHO, there's definitely some security value is at least running a non-standard config.

Moving from seeing all attacks (even if blocked) to only targeted attacks decreases the amount of noise a detection system/reviewer has to deal with.

The important bit, though, is remembering only the above doesn't mean things that make it through are secure, which is usually where companies fall over. (I.e. implement dumb mail filter, then assume any mails that make it through are safe)

> you can't express emotions if you don't have any

That feels off. When I watch an actor on screen conveying emotions, there's no actual human being feeling those emotions as I watch their movie. Very dumb machines have already been rendering emotions convincingly for a while in that way, and their rendering impacts our own emotional state.

Emotions expressed through tone of voice are just one mean of nonverbal communication. We should expect more of those to develop and become more widely available next.

In a way, we're lucky all that gpt-4o seems to be hell bent on communicating how cheerful and happy it is so far, because it's certainly not the only option.

Humans can be manipulated through nonverbal communications, in a way that's harder to consciously spot than through words, and a model that's able to craft its "emotional output" would not be far from being able to use it to adjust its interlocutor or audience's frame of mind.

I for one look forward to the arrival of our increasingly charismatic and oddly convincing LLMs.

Put another way: the US investors put a lot of net new capital every month.

Theoretically, more capital means, higher demand for equities and hence better prices for the stock. Of course, this does not apply to all equities equally.
I disagree. Open source maintainers owe nothing to anybody unless they've explicitly made some sort of commitment/promise beyond just releasing something under an OSS license.

> But also one should not pull dependencies willy-nilly especially if one is building business on top of that.

If you're building a business, you want to avoid all such dependencies as much as possible, open source or not. The big advantage to using open source code, though, is that you don't have to rely on someone else -- not even the maintainer -- to keep things going for you. You can maintain it in-house and eliminate that external dependency.
Many countries in the world can't feed themselves. They import food from others. If there are crop failures, food producing countries impose export bans. For example, India has a ban on wheat export this year [1] because of crop failure.

Once export bans become tit-for-tat (not dissimilar to the tit-for-tat export/import control bans between US-China right now), then some countries will be fine, and others will experience mass starvation. Global food production per capita only works if there is free trade of food.
