ChatGPT Plus does NOT give you full unlimited use of the best model. There are still limits.

FWIW I regularly hit my ChatGPT Plus limits, and I think the “dynamic” limiting is regularly in place. I’ve only once hit my Claude Pro limit. I now use Claude more than ChatGPT.

From this page:

https://help.openai.com/en/articles/6950777-what-is-chatgpt-...

As of May 13th 2024, Plus users will be able to send 80 messages every 3 hours on GPT-4o. and 40 messages every 3 hours on GPT-4. The message cap for a user in a ChatGPT Team workspace is approximately twice that of ChatGPT Plus.

Please note that unused messages do not accumulate (i.e. if you wait 6 hours, you will not have 80 messages available to use for the next 3 hours on GPT-4).

In certain cases for Plus users, we may dynamically adjust the message limit based on available capacity in order to prioritize making GPT-4 accessible to the widest number of people.
It's not that hard? You just need a programming header at this point.

Okay, now go do calculations for a game's rendering using that. Show me the code.

Sometimes your own soul becomes the victim that affects you the most.
It used to be that we had production and distribution strictly separated. Several administrations have been particularly cozy with the media industry, for obvious reasons, and have basically given away the space to entrenched industry players and then removed most of the rules.

The idea that youtube should even be a threat to their content highlights one of the problems with this arrangement.
The copyright cartel would fight that with their lives. They would rather destroy content forever than let it out for free, even if neither option costs them a cent.

“The people come with nets to fish for potatoes in the river, and the guards hold them back; they come in rattling cars to get the dumped oranges, but the kerosene is sprayed. And they stand still and watch the potatoes float by, listen to the screaming pigs being killed in a ditch and covered with quicklime, watch the mountains of oranges slop down to a putrefying ooze; and in the eyes of the people there is failure; and in the eyes of the hungry there is a growing wrath. In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage.“
It's from the affine texture mapping and lack of floating point maths in the GBA. Same problems as the original PlayStation.
I feel reasonably confident that most of the people who are making these hyperbolic claims either don't understand programming at a deep enough level to make the claim or are trying to sell you something.
Pretty sure this is a she/her situation.
Countries sometimes print money to pay their debts because it’s easier than earning the money to pay their debts.
If I think some material is worth money I can seek out the 'creators' and pay them directly.

Alphabet could stop being a bunch of criminal enterprises, begin respecting data protection rights for example, and then they'd have a case in claiming that paying them for something might be reasonable.
They should be dusgusted. KT's market share something like 80% of landline subscribers and 45% of high speed Internet usets. This is Korea's equivalent of AT&T. The National Pension Service owns ~13% of it.
Tech is now a mercenary in the battle for people's attention and/or a fraction of their monthly money.

The number of people in tech grew in absolute terms. That also means the fraction of people giving back to open source also grows and we are getting better open source software. Many however don't give back, they just take.
“Technology has potential when it's guided by ethical considerations and a genuine desire to improve the human condition.”

Yup, and Bill and Dave are probably the last two that I can really point at to say that’s what they had. True ethics and a genuine desire. Probably also the Fab 8. It may have stopped there.

“The tech industry has a long memory.”

Nope. I think it has no memory and zero penalty for failure. That’s, of course, a double-edged sword.
In media one of the things we have to "deal with" is Sound Exchange. When we play a song, we have to keep track of that, and how many people heard it, then settle up at the end of every month with SX.

There should be an open royalty payments system for everything and available to citizens. So that I can credibly say, "look, I did pirate this entire TV series, but I want to pay the obligatory contract rate, and I want that money to go to the creators."
It's simple: "string" literals in C++ are pointers to characters. std::vector has a constructor which takes a begin and end iterator and creates a vector with contents copied from that range. Pointers are iterators in C++, and chars are implicitly convertible to ints, so overload resolution selects the aforementioned constructor. The pointer to "1" and the pointer to "2" don't point into the same object, so trying to iterate from one to the other eventually causes a dereference past the end of "1" which is undefined behavior.

I don’t know why you are downvoted but the middle class was, and more broadly the merchant class were, literally created (and I mean that literally) by technology that invalidated the presumptions of the landowner class in several societies in the last few centuries. Some of these events were more violent than others.
I like IA and I'm checking out their new presenter, thanks for the tip. But geeze I wish they'd have a better example in their showreel video. Who, exactly, makes, presents and is presented with these "What is design?" fluff shows with giant "inspirational" pictures accompanied a single line of text? Even Apple has to occasionally show, you know, a slide that isn't just a giant well-chosen picture.
>Free content removed by previously benevolent publisher.

I don't know about that. Regarding "free", it was always under copyright and distributed restrictively (DRM, ads, and geo-blocking). And no comment necessary for "benevolent".
It's matching std::vector's implicit constructor which takes two iterators, which can be initialized with any pointer. Note that it won't compile with one, three, or more string-literal char*s, but exactly two.
Here we go again. If you seriously think that then you should probably consider changing careers.
Do you have any source on the plans for rural fibre? My parents just keep being told to be content with Sky Muster. Australia is huge, it's going to take multiple decades to build out to even a fraction of the communities.
Oh, they didn't delete it, they just jammed it all through some machine learning model that "compressed" it and will hallucinate it back for you on demand. What could be better than a work of art that automatically updates itself to the current sensibilities of the time?

Spent some time around Linotype machines in the 70s, my Dad left school to operate them at 15 (to support his family in the 30s), they were still in use at the local paper until the 80s when everything was computerised. So give some love to the Lino machines too! While they were not suitable for typesetting math they were perfectly good for doing a newspaper - and could be driven from paper tape. Fixing mistakes was easy, just retype a line.

Mechanically they were also brilliant, a mechanical type sorter, and mechanical analog justification (spaces were wedged shape, once a line was typed the mechanism would press on the wedges and jam the type into a line width hole pushing the words equally apart).

Finally: the brass type blanks were readable (forwards), the cast lines of type backwards (my Dad could read them), they were set into full pages by the subeditors who would add headlines/pics, a full page paper matrix was cast over them (forwards, correct way around, readable), and that would be pulled into a half circle and a reversed metal curved plate would be cast into that (backwards), finally 2 plates would be bolted to either side of a roller in the press and once all the pages were there they would run the press producing readable (forwards) text on paper

In those days the (evening) paper would have multiple editions, what it really meant was that they redid a few of the rollers on the press and kept the rest (classifieds etc) the same, sports edition added a few more rollers/pages - evening papers died thanks to TV news
This has been the argument for decades to justify privatisation of state infrastructure. Anything with high barriers or physical limitations instead just becomes monopolised. It’s a failed experiment at this point. I’d be highly suspicious of the motivations of anyone arguing for this in 2024.
Blocking crypto miners reduces revenue too. It's all malware (in fact crypto miners are obviously less malicious) and blocking it shouldn't be given a second thought.
So silly it had to be done.
I've been using it in https://double.bot (vscode coding copilot I'm hacking on) and it's been pretty great so far. We have support for all the top models (gpt4o, deep seek, opus, etc) so I regularly like to switch between them especially if I see a challenging problem. So far, sonnet 3.5 has the best quality and is the one I use by default.
There used to be a YouTube subscription called Premium Lite which was just ad-free YouTube. I happily paid for that until they shut it down and tried to force the much bigger
subscription on me (nothing else in premium is relevant to me).

Now I use smarttube which is not only ad-free but also has tons of nice features which YouTube will never deliver. However, should premium lite comeback I would pay for it but keep using smarttube.
A lot of people here are saying that a vault is preferable to this, especially for secrets.

Is there a good primer on using vaults? I know how to query and insert into Azure Key Vaults, but architecting around it is unclear to me.

Things that come up for me:

- As (azure) key vaults don't support per secret access rights, where do I store secrets between deployments?

- Should I store connection strings to cloud resources, or just ask the resource for the connection string at deployment time (for Azure, a cloud function pretty much needs a connection string for most basic things. They say they are moving away from this but ...)

- A security warning is send if a key is accessed more then x/times per hour. Does that mean I should pull in the key from vault at deployment? Cache it after first call during runtime?

- Most of our 3rd party vendors gives us 1 and only 1 key. How do I manage that key between development, production and several developers? Right now we mostly forward the e-mail from the vendor with the key ...
One answer is internet banking being way more cumbersome and less advanced in other countries. At that time spending time on the phone or have the customer come spend a miserable time at the agency was the prefered way from the bank's perspective.

To this day many banks won't allow all operations from the online interface.
That explains some managers I've had. Yeesh

There are lots of them on YouTube now. I listen to one most nights. Just search for “sleep” and “binaural beats.
There was no market for a second global internet either, it already existed. If you build it they will come.

I think we see it time and time again, the steam engine, the internet, when you create something that enables radically new possibilities, people find ways to put them to profitable uses. The people inventing them have vision, they have ideas about what they could be used for, but ultimately nobody can predict how things will be used. We will probably be pleasantly surprised by the ways people are going to use mass scale space travel.

> allow such disparate economies and societies as Saudi Arabia and Norway to operate in fairly peaceful markets.

While the US operates at an arms length from KSA with none of the usual theatrics about human rights violations, LGBTQ rights, etc, it has not adopted the same approach to China, Russia, Iran, Cuba, etc. It aggressively meddles in them in cultural and political spheres, not allowing such disparate actors to operate in the same peaceful markets. The recent animosity towards China is mind boggling.

I remember Wolfowitz’s PNAC and full spectrum domination from 2001. The US seem to have lost plenty of its power projection since then. But for its vassal states, most countries do not seem to care about its sanctions on Russia.

People don’t mind a just thug keeping peace and offering protection for a reasonable sum though. The US did that role well.
That is why I pointed out the non-level playing field, this has to do with defaults and what information is given to people.

If you are e.g. a small browser manufacturer and microsoft pushes Edge, google pushes Chrome and both try theie best to actively prevent/scare people from installing everything else, that playing field is effectively not level for you. There is no market if your competitor is preinstalled on nearly all phones.

Sure you can now try to grab tech conscious people, but because they are few you will have to follow changes tour bigger competitors are making etc.
Hell Joseon strikes again.

For context, the legal situation of network usage in South Korea is something akin to Ajit Pai's wet dream. Network operators are legally empowered to charge troll tolls on both ends of any connection they want. Infrastructure costs are to be borne by literally anyone BUT the network operators.

To compound this, South Korea is economically an authoritarian hellscape. Large megacorporations[0] own everything and the government is just a clearinghouse and mediator for their interests. Corruption is so rampant that even administrations run by ardent anti-corruption activists wind up being toppled by rampant and widespread corruption.

I guarantee you that not one SK Telecom executive will spend time behind bars for this blatantly illegal conduct. Anyone with the power to put people behind bars in South Korea will be unmade if they touch a chaebol.

[0] These are specifically called chaebols and the group includes LG, Hyundai, Samsung, Lotte, and a few others. Japan used to have something similar, but they ate their rich... and then brutally invaded and colonized half of East Asia.
Not best Korea anymore.

Glancing at Newspapers: Deja Vu All over Again
Leaving the supermarket this evening my eyes caught a headline in a bin holding the local newspaper. I found it refreshing to read a full paragraph w/o a single popup interrupting asking me to subscribe or for my e-mail. I lingered...

Below the local paper were bins of the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times. The front page splash photos of each were of the same event and almost identical buuuut... no prompts interrupted me and I was free to read 10 or so paragraphs w/o interruption. This was actually shocking to me.

I miss newspapers. Now that I see how strong my reaction is, I may go back to them for news. While the Internet is great for finding out how to install a new faucet cartridge in a shower, for ordering the parts and anticipating problems: all that work done mostly for free by people who'
ve done it before me. That's great!

But for news the Internet now sucks bananas!

Used to be I could type in most of a URL, e.g., "google.com", the browser would prepend the "https://www.", append "/" and jump directly to google's home page, but no longer! Instead google throws me to a search page and then I must (redundantly, like a robot) click on the proper item - only then do I reach my destination. All along the way I must respond to ads and pop-ups.

I think I may go back to newspapers for news!?!
The Daily Show, during all those classic Jon Stewart years.

And sure enough, it's gone.

My first try, the classic interview between Jon and Joe Biden in 2015, where Biden admits he unwittingly politically used a story about a family coal miner that didn't exist. Interviews with Donald Rumsfeld, Condoleezza Rice. Their 2000 and 2004 coverage of the RNC and DNC conventions, all gone.

Yeah, I think I have a feeling about that, but I think really this is just a loss of some of our common story.
That's making an assumption that the two aren't actually entirely linked phenomena.
My takeaway was that it said more about the author (and those preaching it) than about AI.

1. The obvious thing is that technology (and various things we’ve called AI over time) actually has given laundry robots and dish washing robots. Her follow up tweet said of course she knows and that she's joking, but the joke/criticism relies on those things not existing. I kinda think she just forgot, as we all do, as we take technology for granted.

2. Second takeaway was the same as you, with all the free time we have now—and the free time we hypothetically would get with laundry AI—hard to believe we’re really going to start our great American novel.

3. Her follow up was something like “I don’t actually mean laundry and dishes, I mean it metaphorically”. This just read to me as "I just want things that I want. And don’t want things I don’t want. Don't ask me what those things are." We all do, but it muddles any potential wisdom in the quip if we can just swap laundry, dishes, writing, and art for whatever.

So basically a nothing burger about what AI is today or should be, but loud expression of that nothing anyway. I thought it was more like a spitball take (albeit a tad clickbaity and trolling) and had it gotten lost in the wind it would have been fine, but it going viral said something about current opinion.
What a crazy story. It's also surprising how Apple has misled and wasted Valve's time not only once but repeatedly.

Why won't Apple prioritize a stable graphics layer?
Slides are consumed in a variety of different ways.

Slides can be something to keep the eyes busy while someone is talking IRL. Alternatively, they can be a way to exchange information outside of a presentation, reading them like a book. In the latter case, bullet points are quite useful.

A lot of features of presentation software are there solely to stop people from going to sleep.

> Europe requires sms plus a apple/google validated app and stock phone. you can't access most eu or eu commission or local gov services without it.

I haven't interacted with the EU sites other than just looking up random things (so no login required).

But French government services (both national and local) work perfectly on my Firefox/Linux PC without any kind of interaction with my phone. I've never actually tried this, but I don't see why they wouldn't work on any phone browser, stock or otherwise.

I haven't tried them all, obviously, but I'm thinking vehicle registration, voter registration and tax service (both personal and corporate).

They have an SSO scheme, France Connect, which is used for multiple services, so I expect that if it worked for the ones I've used, it'll work for the others, too.

The private sector can be more of a clow show, though, especially some banks.
Dont forget a sham democracy were important issues like "pensioners first" always outweigh all other solutions on any issue.
I saw the initial 3.5 Sonnet release a few days ago and decided to pull the trigger with canceling OpenAI and moving over, and that was a great decision. I've been having to do more and more intricate nudging and leading towards the correct answer or approach when using ChatGPT of late.

My experience with Claude is very positive when it comes to programming and planning out infrastructure. My only gripe so far has been some ethical constraints that didn't exist for ChatGPT, and those are a big one for me since I don't need Anthropic employees to act as my moral compass. For a specific example, asking about securing code through making decompiling or reading harder is a no-no for Claude, but a-ok for GPT.
Cool stuff! I had fun with Genfanad for a while. Keep it simple so the RSC fans don’t riot :)
Anchoring your life to a set of beliefs that, by necessity, are entirely unanchored by reality is not a strategy that works for everyone.

A hard drive sitting on a shelf is a big question mark. Will it spin-up? Who knows?!

So you deal with this by having a backup. Now you have 2x the cost.

But, unfortunately, you could have two hard drives not spin up. You consider an additional backup, but at this point you're at 3x the cost, so you start to reconsider letting hard drives sit on shelves.

Now you're in RAID country. RAID is not a backup, but by shifting your focus to availability you now have an approach to dealing with the "will it spin-up?" issue by proactively dealing with the problem via monitoring and rebuilds when necessary. You keep several replacement HDDs on hand for this inevitability.

Now, since you know RAID is not a backup, you put a backup system in place. This is additional cost; even more if you go 3-2-1.

So now you've got hard drives, storage arrays, HBAs, backups, and the power all of this consumes. We're starting to get out of cheap territory.

I suppose what I'm trying to say is: If you have a lot of data, hard drives are only cheap if you don't care availability, integrity, and longevity.
Ah, so it is related to a DIP switch. Thanks!
I kept on gritting my teeth, waiting for the author to try to sell me something, or on something. Says something about this bullshit industrial complex, I suppose, that I’m so jaded about anything contrarian in this vein.

I'm pretty open to doing something like this broadly, but I think this is especially important for software.

Things like video games are much harder to archive than text. Keeping them running 70 years after the death of the author is already a herculean task. Doing that, when no copies are being distributed could make that entirely impossible.

The current copyright system is going to rob the public domain of many of the cultural treasures that we are entitled to.
Its very simple: Start a windows VM with a few gigs of RAM, via virt-manager or similar, install photoshop, and that's it
