I comment something like this when i see the word grok, which has happened more this year than in the last decade - and i am not sure why, probably because i don't pay much attention to OAI news?
> It has just provided the CEO leverage.

Exactly. And you could say this about a lot of other roles as well. AI certainly has its flaws, but at this stage it does rather frustrate me when people actively resist using that leverage in their own roles. In many ways I couldn't go back to a world without it.

My days are now littered with examples where it's taken me a minute or two to figure out how to do something that was important but not particularly interesting (to me) and that might otherwise have involved, for example, an hour or two of wading through documentation without it, so that I can move on to other more valuable matters.

I mean, wouldn't it just do what human CEOs do?

Namely, lay off an bunch of employees then talk about "difficult headwinds" or some such thing?
Literal. Gotta make sure you're not hiding any numbers in there.
Faking a deepfake, leaving lots of questions unanswered, and then announcing a new safety structure that goes against the very grain of last week's legal conundrum, without mentioning it.. it's all pretty shady and/or weak.
I'm at 16 years. It's been through multiple iterations - a Django site, hosted on GitHub Pages, etc. Today it's a simple static site generated by blogdown/Hugo.

Of course CEOs can be replaced with AI. Elon Musk proves that it’s not a full time or even a part time job with a solid amount of hours. He “runs” 4 companies and still has time to argue with strangers on the Internet. And he has the gall to ask for a compensation package that equates to $10,000 for each automobile Tesla ever sold.

Honestly, let’s just start by replacing CEOs with people who are paid in somewhat of a sane way proportionally. There’s only one CEO job and a handful of senior leader jobs. There are almost certainly far more qualified individuals than there are positions to fill - so why are companies continually giving away their coffers to these executives?

Is there really nobody qualified who would jump at the chance to be the CEO of Disney for a modest $5 million/year salary? That would be a dream job for a whole bunch of cast members and imagineers, many of whom have real industry experience and education credentials that would make them qualified.

It’s weird to me how companies use obvious supply and demand logic for all the employees except for the executive suite. Is there a shortage of MBA graduates or something? Isn’t it one of the most popular majors?

I’ve seen compensation and equity compensation numbers that just look completely insane to me. Companies that have CEOs that make enough money to be equal to 10% of the company’s entire debt load or profit or other crazy huge metrics. In what world is a CEO worth more than reducing the company’s debt by 10% or increasing their profit by 10%? In what world does any individual need to be given compensation that is in the triple digit millions of dollars for anything?

Make a few podcasts a month that are “members only“. You can make the links unlisted publicly, then just don’t get annoyed when they are shared for everyone by some nice member :)

Anyone who gives you money gets a membership, it’ll be minimum of $1, but it’ll be a “pick your own price” deal.

Honestly though, you could just use a better processor that isn’t such a behemoth that they hate their customers.

There was an earlier article that made a couple of categories inside the "has internal voice" group. It went something something like:

Can your internal voice

- raise its voice to sound louder

- change its expression, sound happy, sad, angry

- sing

- do you hear conversations with multiple participants, with separate voices

I recall the article said some people had "singular, monotone" internal voices that are more streams of words than actual voices, and others heard it as if it was an actual sound.

It's all a spectrum.
What the article says is true.

It's also a great list of why most people will never report bugs, and why many of the people who do come away from the experience unhappy about doing it.

Are we talking about middle managers or line managers?

For line managers, the manager has to talk with human employees, and bad managers asides, that is where the human element comes in: fundamentally, your employees are still human.

On the other hand, if the line managers are all human, then the middle managers have the same human elements, too.

All he said was that the smoke alarm going off while you’re high might be disturbing to that person; so, they take out the battery and forget to put it back in because weed messes with your short term memory. What’s condescending about that? All he did is speculate and he’s not that far off from reality!

None of that is referring to the usage in the article though, which is weed smokers referring to non-smokers which has been in use since well before 4chan existed - and funnily enough is a "vastly different meaning" from what you're claiming. Can't quite work out why you're so upset.
I had Shokz bone-conducting headphones (openmove or something like that?), but unfortunately the battery died after a single charge. It was a shame 'cause I was really fond of them. If/when my headphones give the ghost I'll give them another shot.
I wonder how safe the their (wazero's) approach is from the security point of view. According to the article (and I know it myself too after studying the Go runtime), the Go runtime is quite finicky when it comes to execution of foreign code because it can easily interfer with the goroutine scheduler, GC, etc. (unless you use CGO which deals with it, but they don't use it). As the article explains, it's easy to introduce random crashes by, say, innocently using a "wrong" register. Also, the Go runtime can change considerably from version to version (say, when they introduced preempted scheduling based on signals, or when they moved away from segmented stacks etc.), and so today Wazero may work OK but with a new Go version it may unexpectedly crash or corrupt memory in some subtle ways. Considering that the whole point of WASM is sandboxing, reading this article didn't make me feel very confident about the project.

I don't think the West actually believes in number 1.

People say they do but it's like Free Speech. If they have no issue with what people or saying they invoke autonomy or Free Speech. If they don't like what the person is doing or saying suddenly they have a reason ( or would it be rationalization?) for why that speech or that action actually on closer examination really does hurt other people.

I mean, I like the ideal too and it sure sound better then our world of arbitrary edge cases but let's not fool ourselves into thinking that we're not all hypocrites.

> Freezing the bank accounts of the trucker protest

Just putting this into context:

> Isabelle Jacques, assistant deputy minister of finance, told a committee of MPs that up to 210 bank accounts holding about $7.8 million were frozen under the financial measures contained in the Emergencies Act.

> She also said the fact that more than 200 bank accounts were frozen did not necessarily mean that more than 200 people lost access to their funds. Jacques said that individuals may have held more than one account affected by the measures.

Personally, I don't smoke....but my freshman year roommates did. One of them smoked it rolled up but I think he moved onto vapes I think....I can't remember as I didn't really care what they did with it and I personally just didn't want any. They both were active students, were not letting their grades slip up, and seemed to be able to balance any negatives of smoking, but I also know that that's not the same for everyone.

I smoke a cigar, probably a few (<10 a year on average) and I mainly have those when I'm celebrating a major event like passing finals or finishing personal projects. Cigars help me a bit but I can't stand the after smell, so I personally wash everything immediately and shower and brush my teeth.

I might try weed if it ever became unregulated to the level that tobacco or liquor is, when its not a felony or even mistonomener(can't figure out how to spell this word) even if I did find pleasure in it, I wouldn't use it more than 2 times. I know some people swear it helps them function better, but iv also seen some people who lose motivation and become less of themselves....they seem to lose focus of goals in life, they seem to have memory issues etc.

I'm doubtful weed is as bad as it is classified....but I also don't think its some cure all without these negative side effects. The modern movement seems to talk about how harmless it is, but I feel like they don't recognise that it can be harmful just like drinking.
If this is real, you'd hope for Ticketmaster to come in clean and purchase it back.
Putting on the side the shady tactics that the energy company used to get a gas peaker close to houses...

For context:

"Arizona households use 66 million Btu of energy per home, 26% less than the U.S. average.

The combination of lower than average site consumption of all energy, but above average electricity which is relatively expensive, results in Arizona households spending 3% less for energy than the U.S. average."

source: https://www.eia.gov/consumption/residential/reports/2009/sta...

So people in Arizona are using a lot less energy than the rest of the country, and only pay marginally less. Someone is making even more money on the energy bill.

And yes, solar is not perfect, and sometimes one needs some extra electricity on the grid (peakers). For a 16,000 household community, maybe batteries should be considered ? It is not like they have an heavy industry requiring high energy consumption 24/7. It is a small community (houses, and RV parks).

For instance, a Tesla Megapack 2 costs $1.5M and delivers 3.854 MWh so to replace the 98MWh gas peaker, we would need 25 x Megabuck 2, for a cost of $37.5M. How much the gas peaker is going to cost ? We can run the cost on maintenance too, which I suspect would also favor the battery solution.
In ClickHouse it is just `INSERT INTO t FROM INFILE 'data.csv.gz'`. Any supported format, any encryption, autodetected from file name and sample data piece to get column types, delimeters etc.
Separate tools to convert CSV are not necessary if you can just import to db and export as SQL Statements.

echo "name,age,city
John,30,New York
Jane,25,Los Angeles" > example.csv

clickhouse local -q "SELECT * FROM file('example.csv') FORMAT SQLInsert"
INSERT INTO table (`name`, `age`, `city`) VALUES ('John', 30, 'New York'), ('Jane', 25, 'Los Angeles');

Yeah, we did. The concept of "mine" appears very early in children.

Attempts to raise children from birth as good communists have never worked. Nobody has ever managed to indoctrinate people into communal behavior. Even the die hard communists in the USSR still participated in the black market - this was tolerated because even the elites used it.

It turns out that human nature is not very malleable.

Don’t worry about it dude, your comment wasn’t condescending at all and is actually a good word of caution for those who like to smoke indoors!
When people were blogging because it was fun for them, the world was full of various content. Once a few got rich (or at least well-to-do and famous) from it, it all went to hell.

If you're blogging and worrying about "how will readers find me" you're doing it wrong, and are basically doomed to fail.

You blog because you like to write, and readers will slowly accumulate over time. Comments and/or a small forum can work wonders, too, as long as you're protected from spam.
Refactoring is an investment decision. One which, when it pays off, pays off in a nonobvious way. That was my original point.

A response of "but what if my investment decision doesnt pay off??" kind of suggests you might have missed that point.

That happens sometimes when you make investment decisions. You dont know how much you will make back or even if you will make back anything at all.

Some people dont invest their savings because they can't stand the uncertainty of not being able to quantify the payoff but I dont.

Lacking indexes on columns involved in a foreign key will also cause deadlocks in Oracle.

This problem is common.

"Obviously, Oracle considers deadlocks a self-induced error on part of the application and, for the most part, they are correct. Unlike in many other RDBMSs, deadlocks are so rare in Oracle they can be considered almost non-existent. Typically, you must come up with artificial conditions to get one.

"The number one cause of deadlocks in the Oracle database, in my experience, is un-indexed foreign keys. There are two cases where Oracle will place a full table lock on a child table after modification of the parent table:
a) If I update the parent table’s primary key (a very rare occurrence if you follow the rules of relational databases that primary keys should be immutable), the child table will be locked in the absence of an index. b) If I delete a parent table row, the entire child table will be locked (in the absence of an index) as well...

"So, when do you not need to index a foreign key? The answer is, in general, when the following conditions are met:
a) You do not delete from the parent table. b) You do not update the parent table’s unique/primary key value (watch for unintended updates to the primary key by tools! c) You do not join from the parent to the child (like DEPT to EMP).
If you satisfy all three above, feel free to skip the index – it is not needed. If you do any of the above, be aware of the consequences. This is the one very rare time when Oracle tends to ‘over-lock’ data."

> What will cause prices to fall is higher interest rates. This is what has been happening in NZ.

Then again, with higher interest rates, the lower prices don't mean anything unless they drop significantly faster than interest rates are raising, yes?
as an old-school reader of the cypherpunks email list from before HTTPS existed, I'm still mad about this part:

Outside of actually developing cryptosystems, security tends to be a practical affair where we are happy building systems that improve security posture even if they don't fix everything.

there was a time in the 1990s when cryptography geeks were blind to this reality and thought we'd build a very different internet. it sure didn't happen, but it would have been better.

we had (and still have today) all the technology required to build genuinely secure systems. we all knew passwords were a shitty alternative. but the people with power were the corrupt, useless "series of tubes!" political class and the VCs, who obviously are always going to favor onboarding and growth over technical validity. it's basically an entire online economy founded on security theater at this point.
That was my reaction. I assume my identity information is available for sale from multiple breaches already at this point.

I really just have a hard time agreeing with pretty much anything this author writes.

To include this in "some of the most unhinged tweets of all time" is just...laughable: "Saw a down-and-out in Seattle last night. His sign said not "I need food" or "I need a job" but "I need a fat bitch". What could this mean?"

I find that tweet hilarious. I also can't agree with the author on anything else, but looking at the "unhinged" tweets are the easiest way to exemplify that point.
