I use ChatGPT for coding constantly and the 52% error rate seems about right to me. I manually approve every single line of code that ChatGPT generates for me. If I copy-paste 120 lines of code that ChatGPT has generated for me directly into my app, that is because I have gone over all 120 lines with a fine-toothed comb, and probably iterated 3-4 times already. I constantly ask ChatGPT to think about the same question, but this time with an additional caveat.

I find ChatGPT more useful from a software architecture point of view and from a trivial code point of view, and least useful at the mid-range stuff.

It can write you a great regex (make sure you double-check it) and it can explain a lot of high-level concepts in insightful ways, but it has no theory of mind -- so it never responds with "It doesn't make sense to ask me that question -- what are you really trying to achieve here?", which is the kind of thing an actually intelligent software engineer might say from time to time.
> And once you’ve acquired enough background information, you’ll learn even more through direct studying of his works. Each work you study, each novel for example, contains an entire fictional Universe with its logic and laws, and the characters of the novel are subject to all of them. Each such fictional universe is in some way an imperfect reflection of our own real universe, and so learning about how the fictional world functions in a novel, will tell us quite a bit about our real world.

Of course, there can't be some grand global structure to describe all the champions in one go. But there could be properties that many have in common, e.g., predominantly consisting some number of nested recursions, characterized by some transfinite ordinal. For instance, this particular machine recurses over the first several hyperoperations.
For the following reasons:

1. My career is no less a Sword of Damocles when I am semi-checked-out and spending more time on domesticity. Getting promoted would, I hope, (a) make me more secure in my current position by tying it to the judgment of the people who promoted me, (b) make me secure in my career more generally by generating a paper trail of high performance in this position, and (c) make me more secure generally by increasing my income and allowing me to save more.

2. My wife encouraged me to do it, and I need to demonstrate commitment to both professional success and The Domestic Project (enabled, as it is, more by our combined incomes than our actual domestic labor) to keep her happy. Possibly to keep her around. It is valuable for our relationship, I think, for her to know what it takes, so that FOMO on lost income does not foster resentment of my complacency in my career

There is security and there is cargo cult. "unprotected" really depends on what the user is using the device for, what the vulnerabilities are, and what's the worst thing someone with total root level access to the device can actually do.

If the device is using a read-only firmware, has a secure boot chain of trust, lives behind a firewall and only makes outgoing connections, the risk is very limited. You can't directly connect to it, so your only option is to tamper with traffic in transit and exploit some buffer overflow in how it parses replies to its requests - that's already a very targeted attack that's really hard to scale, and with an intact secure/trusted boot chain it still means you can't persist so you'd need to redo this every time the device is rebooted.

And finally, assuming you manage to do all the above, what't the payoff? For a "Car Thing", the payoff is quite limited. I guess you can blast obnoxious music at full volume against the user's wishes?

Right. It also highlights the extreme situation we have with Russias brutal and illegal invasion of Ukraine.

'good guys making hard decisions for the greater good.'

I don't know man?

'Experiment on the blacks, I mean they can't vote anyway!' Sounds like a pretty easy decision to me for a scheming group of politicians and generals.

Greater good might hold up if we experimented on them only in times of war, but that hasn't been our history. The experimenting is why they have such high disease rates in the first place. Similar socioeconomic populations do not. For instance, Brazilian blacks. Or Peruvian or Colombian blacks. The projects were probably even built, in part, specifically with an eye to these kinds of tests.

Occam's razor. "Who should we run the human testing on sirs?"

"Marginalized group that's not allowed to vote sounds good to us son!"
Well, the basic wisdom, as I have been told, is that anger is a reaction to fear, which is an emotion, but that’s a fairly unpopular PoV. Anger is “manly,” while fear is “wussy.”

No one likes to admit they’re frightened, but, in my experience, identifying the fear, and addressing that, is quite effective.
Given it has a matte finish for writing, which is super cool, but what about wear and tear?

Writing tactility is provided by friction from the matte surface, wouldn't this wear down or scratch over time? If so is the front "glass" bonded to the display, can it be replaced or refurbished?

Super freaking cool tho, was a sad day when pebble died (sharp MiP display) and I've always wanted to play with epaper some more, such a shame eink basically tried to corner the industry for so long. Do you ever intend to sell display modules using this tech for makers and the like?
I agree with the sentiment, but it is harder and harder to find truly "dumb" devices anymore. USB has a complicated (and vulnerable) firmware stack. Monitors have hackable on screen display controllers. Unless you want to go back to VGA... Just saying...

This seems overengineered. There must be a simpler way to monitor you than this multi-certificate boondoggle, especially that Google controls the browser endpoint.
Alright, read up on domains, then try arguing that 'perplexity' as company and noun are in different spaces! I grant you that if they were, the company could trademark that noun. But it seems clear that Perplexity named itself after the noun and by so doing gave up the option of trademarking its company name.

I think this metaphor is imperfect. My anger is not necessarily something that has to be stewed on. ie, my mind is not a pressure cooker where anger will never dissipate unless it's released. For instance, I spend zero time thinking about the wrongs done to me in middle school, even though those conflicts were never really resolved in any sort of satisfying or adult way. Crucially, the triggers for those issues are lost to the distant past.

So, when must I address my anger? Crucially, it's when the situation which led to it goes unresolved; eg: I work with someone who is bullying me, and I must resolve it because I'll see them every day. Or, I'm angry about something my spouse does, but I've never talked to her about it. In that case, "keeping it bottled up" is relevant because the conflict will be refreshed daily. ie, it's the externality of the stimulus which makes the "bottled up" metaphor relevant.
That price is CRAZY. Definitive no from my side.

Debugging is the primary skill of a programmer. 90% of programming is fixing bugs, the other 10% is writing bugs.

Maybe the LLM is teaching debugging by giving bad examples :)
I don't think you meant to invalidate their experience, but that's how I feel when I've been told similar stuff like, "sorry you went through that ... it's not actually part of the religion ... and all religions are like that anyway." Zealots are often that way because they're more orthodox/literal with their religion, and anyways, why is your interpretation of a religion more accurate than theirs?
I disagree. Working ai agents would be very useful
This post series is a step-by-step guide for the calculation of a position fix from a recorded GPS radio wave signal. You can use your own SDR (e.g. HackRF) with a GPS antenna to perform this steps on your own and determine your location :-)
It covers signal processing (GPS acquisition, tracking, demodulation, and decoding), math to calculate the position as well as the physics involved in GPS.
"Pivot to AI" is a strategy. A desperate one nonetheless.

From the article, this strategy is being announced to achieve a business goal:

A company's vision/mission are higher-level determinations, almost like their "constitution"; everything below (goals, strategy, objectives, plans) should be defined in alignment with it.

“Gimme the loot, gimme the loot (I'm a bad bad bad)
(What's mines is mines and what's yours is mine)” -Biggie Smalls

Most rap songs are explicitly bragging about how they will do anything to make money, and about how people that won’t aren’t morally superior but are either born privileged or just making excuses for being weak and soft.

It’s alien coming from an upper middle class white family, where people try to pretend they have less money and care about money less than they actually do, because it isn’t socially acceptable- people hide their supercar in the garage and drive an old Toyota when people they know are looking. These people are just as ruthlessly greedy as Biggie claims to be, they just hide it.
> Expressed anger/emotion is okay

No it's not

> bottled up anger/emotion is not good

Yes it is

It is tautologically obvious why expressing anger does not result in reduced anger in the long term, and why practicing subduing your anger is beneficial. Cathartic expression of anger is a long-debunked approach to coping with it.
That is incredibly disappointing. And I think a lot of Israelis are also opposed to it.

The settlements are emblematic of a deep split in Israeli culture. The right wing, which currently runs the government, is strongly in favor of them. The left wing considers them illegal under international law, and believes it makes it harder to establish the two-state solution that most people see as the only eventual peaceful outcome.

Although Gaza, run by Hamas, has been a constant source of attacks against Israel, the West Bank has been pretty peaceful -- at least from the Palestinians. Violence has come largely from Israeli settlers.

The current government is widely disliked, and there's a very good chance it will lose the next election. But that's not until 2026, which is a very long time for the current situation to fester. And each settlement that gets built is a thorn in the side of any attempt to find a solution -- the settlers will complain bitterly about being moved.

That is, of course, the point of this statement. It sounds as if the international community is trying to force a two-state solution along the 1967 borders. The government wants to make that harder by establishing de facto Israeli territory outside those borders.
I just started learning C# while tinkering with Monogame.

It's a really nice language to use, I'm quite surprised.
RoslynPad support user input with `Console.ReadLine()`, but that's about it. For me personally it does everything I need for scripting C#. For anything more serous I usually create full program and a bat/sh file to execute it in a conveniently.
One side: "This material is obscene and shouldn't be included in public school carriculums."

The other side: "We have determined this information is false and dangerous, and should be banned from all public discussion."

When you add in that the "false and dangerous" has proven time and again to be "true and embarrassing", and the attempt at censorship is more about protecting power than morals, this really is an area where bothsides-ism is a non-starter.

I expect this won't be a popular comment, but it is accurate. You can't change that.
I predicted this response quite well
I’m an IP lawyer & AI dev: my first reaction was, “hmm there are trademark issues here.” From a US perspective: “Perplexity” certainly CAN be a trademark, and the company has applied for one—to my knowledge it’s still pending. If the term was merely “descriptive” of the service provided, like “American Airlines”, then the company would need to show that the term has acquired distinctiveness: ie, that purchasers associate the term with that specific company. But perplexity is probably more than merely descriptive here.

Assuming that they have a valid trademark, the issue becomes whether there is a likelihood of confusion between Perplexity and Perplexica. That is a fact-specific, multifactor test, which I’ll spare you. But there could be arguments both ways IMO

EDIT: trademark issues aside, cool project!
SME is very specialized, right now no compiler (that I know of) is really able to take general-purpose code and output optimized SME. So for these instructions at least, bitcode wouldn’t be of any benefit.
Huh, didn't realize that was there! Works on stock Pixel, you're right, definitely useful feature to have
No, I'm talking about being completely unable to immigrate because they can't find an employer to sponsor them. I'm talking about failing the H1B lottery for years and having to leave.

I'm not talking about filing paperwork taking a long time.

I agree it's harder if you're not from a developed country, but it's hard for a lot of people across the board.

Children have the nice effect of cutting the fat out of your day. When you don't have children, it is very easy for most people to piss away their time on social media, reading useless news (99% of it is sensational dreck at the level of gossip), and so on. Children remind you that time is a very limited resource. Parkinson's law. You have less time, so your use that time more intensely meaningfully. I am willing to bet that much of the problems with focus and mental illness (rumination and all that) that people report would be resolved by taking on more responsibility. The knowledge that you don't have time to fritter away on garbage is enough to mobilize, organize, prioritize, and motivate you, dashing any temptations or even desires to indulge in worthless things. It's the same reason why people suddenly become motivated closer to a deadline or expected delivery date. Nothing focuses the mind more intensely than immanent death.
Are they exceptions, though? You certainly have some exceptional statistics: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_firearm...

And many other stats available. I think my point still stands.
As a direct example, note the lack of neck trauma in the indications.

You would generally expect neck trauma to be involved in shaking a baby so hard their brain starts to bleed. Their necks lack musculature, and are nearly limp. Their vertebrae are what’s eating the force of their head shaking. There would likely be obvious trauma to the neck if the baby had been shaken.
What is your experience with writing code on the device? Does the grayscale impact syntax highlighting?
I think there’s a role for AI in news media. First, you still need reporters to gather information. AI can be used to speed up the final phase of writing and editing. Second, AI can provide background and context to current events. For example, a story about Israel entering Rafah is a snapshot in time. But a reader might ask historical questions: “Who controlled Gaza before Israel became a country?”. Third, combine both features above. AI can generate stories from short updates to magazine features depending on my interest. I don’t care about Trump’s trials, so give me a quick update. I am interested in China’s real estate collapse, so generate a deeper story. All this comes from reporters’ research, most of which isn’t used because editors have allotted them a fixed space.

Of course, this requires better AIs that don’t hallucinate. It needs to be able to update info, and even handle non-monotonic reasoning (an earlier report was mistaken, the latest report updates info).

The news has 2 parts: facts and analysis. In most cases I don’t care what the reporter thinks. Semafor.com has an interesting style of clearly saying these are the facts and here’s what the reporter thinks. An AI can deliver the facts, while leaving reporters to write a separate analysis (which I can easily skip).

There is no such thing anywhere in the EU, it's a very common misconception. What there is is a 24 month(actually 6 years in some cases) seller's responsibility for the product against manufacturing defects and being "not as described"(which can include lack of described performance too). What the law also says is that within the first 6 months(12 in the EU) any defect is automatically presumed to be a manufacturing fault and the seller has to rectify it free of charge. After that time the seller is also responsible, but you as the buyer have to prove that the defect happened because of a manufacturing problem. If your macbook stops working 23 months after purchase the seller doesn't have to fix it unless you can prove that it's because of a manufacturing problem.
It's not that there's no difference in the underlying mathematics. That would be true, by necessity, of any subtraction strategy that worked.

There's no difference in the steps being performed. If you go through each approach, you'll notice that you do the same things in the same order, with the possible exception that carries might appear before or after the actual subtraction with which they are associated. All of your intermediate calculations are the same. Everything you write down is the same in both cases. Someone presented with your worked solution would have no way to determine whether you had "old math" or "new math" in mind as you worked it. Someone who watched you solve the problem would also have no way to determine that, because there is literally no difference in the method.

The "new math" part of the problem isn't that you do the base-10 subtraction differently. It's that you're expected to be able to do the same subtraction in base 8 too.
One formalising "something" could be category theory, in which we say we don't care too much about what objects are like qua objects (indeed, we'll handwave many things away "up to isomorphism"), but we do care greatly about the structure preserving maps ("conceits" in the lit crit language) we can find from other objects to a given object, or conversely from a given object to other objects.

(if we're really hardcore, we'll even claim the objects don't even have much left to study after we've learned all that we can about the identity maps from each object back to itself)

Exercise for the reader: what is the structural equivalent of an epimorphism in Snow's other culture? a monomorphism?

(quick sanity check: do the humanities even have a way to talk about domains and codomains? Yes: "signifier" and "signified". What about cancellation?)

The Secrets Of Suspense
Anger doesn't really come natural to me, so I get very confused when others fail to control their anger. I do get frustrated, which seems different to me. That is something I can now easily deal with, after learning about children and emotion. Most of the time it's down to "broken cookie syndrome", i.e. children breaking down in tears do to a cookie breaking in half. It's rarely about the cookie, it's something else and the cookie is just the straw that broke the camels back.

Always thinking "broken cookie" when frustrations bubble up makes it a lot easier to not lash out at people around you and instead address the underlying issues.
