Hmm I wonder how good the us legal system is if a person insists they fell ill eating a product without a warning label and it goes to a jury trial?

There will undoubtedly be a focus on ‘whether you can be 100% sure there was no sesame dust in the air’. Without a perfect vacuum clean room (that doesn’t really exist) you can’t be. As in even if you’re really fucking clean your probably losing the case in the American legal system.

Fuck it my bread is made with a sprinkle of sesame flour and is known to contain potential carcinogens identified by the state of California.
In lots of disability cases, share of people affected is very very small it's not profitable to cover them. Otherwise the companies would already fight to capture this market.

This is why lots of disability measures are (or campaigned to be) enforced by government. But now we're out of realm of free market and on to production quota, and that comes with its own consequences.
This is not my experience but maybe I'm doing something different. I ship an electron app. I build it into an installer with electron-builder. I'm not sure I set any configuration settings. It's set to install in the user's folders, not at the system level. My understanding is that's allowed and just works.
I think one difference is that there isn't a great alternative option in the case of commercial buildings -- if you have a job in a given building that doesn't accommodate your disability, you can't just go find a different building. But insofar as food is concerned, you could pay more for more carefully-manufactured food, or just cook for yourself
Just because it’s not for you doesn’t mean there aren’t people who have dreamed their whole life of doing this and would sell everything they own to pay their way if given the opportunity.

I have done it in proprietary settings. Nothing off the top of my head. The gRPC libraries themselves are pretty straightforward. You just need to use thrift IDL parser to output stubs that use gRPC under the hood.

The C++ one may be slightly more challenging to replace because extra care is needed to make sure protobuf message pipeline is zero-copy. Other languages are more trivial.

One place to start would be to look at the gRPC protoc plugin and see how it’s outputting code and do something similar. Pretty lean code.
There is a huge gap between "facts" and "nonfacts" which compose the majority of human discourse. Statements, opinions, questions, when properly qualified, are not facts or nonfacts or hallucinations.

LLM don't need to be perfect fact machines at all to be honest, and non-hallucinating. They simply need to ground statements in other grounded statements and identify the parts which are speculative or non-grounded.

There are too many bad assumptions baked into that question to attempt a meaningful answer. I don’t even know if you’re being serious or taking the piss.
In the case of Argon, it's both inert and non-toxic. The main danger is that it's heavier than air (so you can asphyxiate yourself if you try).

As such, "food" grade argon is actually less pure than industrial argon - food grade is 99.996 and industrial grade is 99.998

The practical difference is what contaminants exist - because argon is non-reactive, in food grade argon they are just trying to remove contaminants you don't want in food.

In industrial grade argon, mainly used for welding, almost any kind of impurity can cause issues, whether it would be "safe to eat" or not.

>I hope we can survive & not be corralled into a top-down overbearing government that forces a select peoples chosen way of life on everyone.

When you have a country where too many groups of people have fundamental disagreements on basic issues, I think it's probably inevitable that one of two possible outcomes happens: the country breaks apart, or an authoritarian government takes over.
Yes? If the government can find a better way to help people with disabilities, great. But small business being sued because a booth is 6 inches too small, or universities having to take down lectures because they lacked close captioning seems to clearly go to far to me. People seem to have a terrible time understanding diffused societal costs and opportunity costs.

My employer is asking me to try out Copilot to see if it offers a lot of value. IMO about 90% of the time it is an annoying interruption that offers to help me write a few characters (which I could probably write faster if I wasn't being interrupted) or maybe a few lines at most. 5% of the time it offers downright incorrect suggestions, and about half of those suggestions are only subtly incorrect, so I have to be on-guard about anything I use it for. 5% of the time it offers suggestions that I didn't consider, but are definitely a positive contribution. E.g. checking input parameter validity.

I've heard that one way to use it effectively is writing a detailed comment about what you want to do, then let it suggest the code. I personally don't like those style of comments, so I'd have to:

- enable copilot if I have it disabled (I have a keymap for this in vim)

- write the comment

- carefully review that the suggestion is correct and complete

- accept the suggestion, then go back up to delete the comment

kinda inconvenient, but if I was blanking on a bunch of stdlib functions maybe it would help? But accepting the copilot suggestions doesn't add imports, whereas accepting language server suggestions often does (e.g. with gopls).
Nah, man, I'm good.

I also prefer to use "Coding" or "Hard Prompts (Overall)" instead of default "Overall" in Chatbot Arena scores to determine the actual performance level of LLMs. Seems much more align to my vibe test in terms reasoning. I guess the "Overall" contains a lot of creative tasks, which is not what I use the most in the daily tasks.

I mostly agree!

I'll quibble on two points. "used as a wedge issue by foreigners", while perhaps true in some moral sense, it does not really make much sense, on closer scrutiny. To reduce things down to being some foreign imposition is to suggest that it could have been any product. But it couldn't - only opium has the special properties necessary to become this kind of product. Nobody fought a war over tobacco, or even cocaine.

It is also true that Arabia, and even the ancient Greeks ('land of the lotus eaters') were aware of and could obtain Opium. However, I'd inquire as to how it is that the primary opium growing regions of Arabia are doing lately, or say, ever.

It is true that Opium has been available to varying degrees, at various times, in various places without a total social breakdown. However, widespread, sustained, cheap availability of pure Opium without total social breakdown is, as far as I know, unheard of. The over the counter stuff in Europe and the early US were mixed with other things, as in Laudanum. Almost all of high society at the time was addicted anyway, and this was the mild form.

The Chinese discovered that they could smoke it, and changing ROA from oral to smoking is a radical step change in addictiveness. I'm not entirely sure why this didn't catch on elsewhere at the time, but the fact of the matter is it didn't, and the difference between these things is a difference in kind, not degree.

> It is not a choice between continued sadism or free reign herion and cocaine dealing

I hope you're right! But I don't observe anything in the world that would support it, unfortunately. I quit because I was arrested, for instance. I want to be careful about causal meaning here, I didn't stay off because I was arrested, but it was the excipient that proximately caused and also facilitated it. It was a structural break that allowed other things to change around it.

That's not to say that the judicial system is a good way to deal with things - it's not. But the credible threat of the judicial system cannot really be done away with here without courting disaster. When dealing with highly physically addictive substances, shaping short term behavior by force is often a necessary ingredient in having any hope of shaping medium or long term behavior via therapy, life circumstance changes, or anything else.

Some examples of wrong suggestions... things like suggesting OpenIDConnectClientCredentialsFlow when the actual name of the class is just OpenIDConnectClientCredentials. Language servers will have the correct suggestion, and Copilot is just a bother and a hindrance in that case.

I never understood anyone who used such strong language like "beauty" when talking about something mundane like recursion.

You are arguing an extreme minority opinion, consumer protection laws exist because it is not possible for an average consumer to understand all safety implications of vehicle design, house construction or a medical procedure.
Indeed and pretty disingenuous from the bakeries. Mislabelling as containing allergens when it does not can lead to a false sense of security or comfort in consumers. In that they may potentially consume an item and discover that it is labelled for the allergen, and subsequently assume that the lack of a reaction indicates tolerance. Potentially, leading them to consume accurately labelled products expecting the same non-reaction
I am not expert, but first google link says that simplest curing process is to brine it for 3 days in salted water and then bake, I don't think it will be counted as ultra-processed: https://www.homesicktexan.com/how-to-cure-ham/

But I think corps likely apply tons of chemicals to extend shelf life, make process faster and improve taste.

From another hand, I had no idea what is the process until I just googled. And I buy many types of food, and don't have chance to do my research, so labeling would be superhelpful.

Lossily compress.
I've never been interested in this canvas/corkboard kind of software, and I'd never heard of Kinopio, but it's so nice that I'm trying to come up with a reason to use it.
Libertarians? Why do some people insist on placing labels on things. Just a tiresome action.

I am simply saying the regulation as its presented in the article seems confusing as heck. The manufacturers are indicating they don't care about this market so they are just listing it on the label because the facility is processing sesame. That does not like the right way but I got the impression they don't use the "may" language because its likely there is some trace of it in the product. If they just end up adding some to the ingredients it complies with letter of the law but not the spirit. IMO its confusing as the business what the right path forward is, my interpretation is that they don't care about people with sesame allergies and it probably makes economic sense for large scale facilities, they need to be given better guidance from the FDA other than "prevent cross contamination".

FARE lists sesame allergies as 0.7 million in the US, 2020 might be outdate information though.
It lacks context. Search engines spews a lot of garbage, because there is a lot of garbage in internet, and SEO put some weight on garbage too. But devoid of any context you won't have any hint to decide that what the LLM is throwing out is garbage or not, as you might or not have with a random search engine result.

In any case, LLMs feeded with carefully curated content instead of random pages or social networks posts (maybe upvoted because funny instead of accurate) may have better chances of giving out good results.
technically, they’re not, but the overlap is big.

I don’t know about you, but I am using search engines a lot less, and asking LLM’s a lot more.

It doesn’t bode well for the search engine business overall.
What I want (and expect) to hear from government is that there will always be a human in the loop. Even moreso that leaders are not ideological parrots and functionaries of some fart-in-the-wind demiurge, nor cooercible by fear or driven by wealth or ideology. Life is not a fecking popularity contest.

To put it in the context of mainstream America, a church/synogue/mosque is not the building but the congregation. These institutions are often beautiful, functional, and provide great meaning and purpose. Theres nothing wrong with meaning and purpose.

Government for and by the people (which is a rallying call for all nations of people around the world--the operative notion here being that nationality is applied to our identity sine qua non) means the government should probably be learning in public. Being vulnerable is not being weak. The only thing I can think that would create distrust more is a lack of accountability. Say "you were wrong" more often. Practice pivoting, but perhaps not simply left to right, forward and back...

I agree. But thought it was worth mentioning because I'm not so sure everyone repeating the engineering company line understands that.

Similarly, Boeing's decline is attributed quite frequently to the managerial descendants of Jack Welch. And Welch? Well he was... an engineer. A PhD in chemical engineering no less.

Sometimes (often times) comments here over simplify the reality that underlies the real issues that need to be addressed. I think it's worth while to break the stereotypes and charactures that often time get used in arguments to either iconize or demonize various groups, depending on the viewpoint of the speaker. That tendency is the real problem with modern discourse.

Something beautiful about the Internet is that you can say "Hey, here's a thing you could do" and some guy will come and say "Well, actually, I am in a situation where I can't do that". No matter what you do, someone will have that.

"If you put your weighing scale in the bathroom it'll make it easy for you to measure your weight every day" -> "Well, my bathroom is too small and doesn't have level flooring anyway because it's wide enough for one man and is located on the San Andreas fault with a crack going through it. So that won't work for me Mr. Flat Floor Pants"

"If you use shellcheck, you can catch a bunch of errors in your shell scripts" -> "Well, I use my custom shell CrazySH and shellcheck won't work on that. So that won't work for me Mr. Normal Shell Pants"

It is customary for someone to answer "I/We will withhold any comments pending an ongoing investigation." against such questions. If you violate that, at best you're a flaming idiot and at worst you're trying to derail the investigation.

All that to say: If you're under investigation, kindly STFU until the dust has settled and everything is finished.

Yeah, I think Brexit at least is part of that same phenomenon. It can all be summarized as British voters saying "Screw all these other people, we're looking out for ourselves!" and then crashing their own economy out of sheer spite.
I see plenty of reasons in the other answers, but I think it boils down to: "it's a different philosophy".

IRC is akin to watercooler conversations: people who are around may hear what you say and they may join the discussion, but they don't have to. People who are not around are not expected to ever hear about the conversation (though a colleague could repeat it to them later).

When you talk to colleagues behind a whiteboard, you don't expect everything that was said to be recorded. At the end of the discussion, if deemed necessary, you take a picture of the whiteboard and/or write a summary that you save in a persistent place (typically you send the summary to the participants by email).

Now, in 2024, people (especially tech-savvy people, in my experience) have a hard time living with "old school" technology. "Why should we use email in 2024? Does IRC still exist, though it was invented before I was born?". The IRC UI/UX could have been improved a ton, but people have a different philosophy now. They expect everything to persist, they want official communications to feel like WhatsApp (or Snapchat or TikTok, depending on the age) interactions. Many people reaching university now don't know what a "file" is on their system: they just access "stuff" through "apps".

IRC fundamentally doesn't work like the modern chat apps that modern people are taught to use. You can't add threads to IRC and still call it IRC, because you will end up talking to people who don't have threads and it will break either your or their UX. You can't add reactions for the same reason, or history (because you will expect them to see all your messages, and they will assume that it is fine to miss most of them).

TL;DR: IRC is great, and I love it. Nothing is wrong with it. It is just not being used because that is not how (most) people interact anymore. It does not explain why modern chat apps seemingly must be poorly-written ElectronJS abominations, though. Probably it's cheaper to develop and users just don't give a damn.
KT built fiber connection here in Poland ~15y ago. Project was made in a large part of the country, strongly subsidised and thought as a backbone for other ISPs. 4k km of fiber underground and multiple nodes.

Project is now being nationalised as kt:
- didn't pay subcontractors. Many of them went bankrupt
- offered prices so large, that other isps would rather create their own infra than use theirs
- abandon the project totally
Of course i shouldn't put this under KT's name, as they used a subcompany - SungGwang - for all the dirty stuff.

So, fast forward: we laid a new infra parallel to this one in many cases and that one lays in the ground and rots.
