'Pixel perfect' designs are stupid, qnd responsible for backwards steps in font scaling. GUIs should be reflowable, not 'pixel perfect'. Dumbass 'pixel perfect' designs are the reason you can't resize the fucking System Preferences window.

They're also shitty for accessibility. If you're significantly visually impaired but still inclined to rely on your remaining vision, you'll find that (a) macOS doesn't let you jack the fonts up big enough and (b) when you actually do get large enough text just by jacking up the scale of the whole Ui, all kinds of text fields are truncated and some windows some even fit properly on your screen.

Aligning UIs by pixel makes them worse.
Ergo you are really screwed drinking that „lime-encrusted plastic“.
Same, broke product. Issue is that there is an (albeit small) subset of tasks where Claude is first in class and can't be replaced by any other model without a decrease in quality. Even then, taking away the same lesson here, and leading me to unfortunately consider defaulting to other providers for new tasks, despite generally preferring Claude.
Selling that data.
> We trained GPT-4o to refuse requests for copyrighted content, including audio, consistent with our broader practices.

> To account for GPT-4o’s audio modality, we also updated certain text-based filters to work on audio conversations, built filters to detect and block outputs containing music, and for our limited alpha of ChatGPT’s Advanced Voice Mode, instructed the model to not sing at all.

I find the "instructed the model to not sing at all" to be slightly amusing and an interesting way to solve the problem. (Interesting in the sense that it's unimpressive)

So basically they're admitting that the system has the capability to output copyrighted material, but we're trusting their internal filters and output modifiers to prevent it from leaking out.

Edit: I really wish there were more focus on deep fakes and impersonation. That seems like an obvious category to put on the "Preparedness Framework Scorecard" alongside of "Biological Threats". The "Persuasion" category is the only risk that isn't "low". Reading that section of the doc didn't give me a sense that this doc was written in a fully objective manner.
There’s multiple people saying this so I’ll just ask politely. Every esp has a multitude of gpios. The esp8266 mentioned is almost entirely gpios on its pin out. I’ve used these extensively and it’s great for flexibility. From led indicators to full on activating a relay.

You say it’s not the same as the pi’s pios. So I’ll ask. What does the pi do here that the esp doesn’t?
Hell yeah..give it to me.. no not really
Exciting to see more work in this area.

See https://www.plasticlist.org/ for a recent SV based project to measure microplastic contamination across popular food and drink items.
thank you, i got half way through the article and started to wonder about the greater context of where this came from and how it helps certain political efforts by giving people a means to take charge of their water quality. It's just... very convenient. But if/when other scientists can replicate then we'll see.
Can you expand more on this? I had same experience in China but not sure how it ties into this story?
what about solar?
No, these are microcontrollers. They're the thing you'd put inside a device that needs a tiny bit of smarts, like Raspberry Pi's debug probe[0]. The case I have for my RPi5[1] uses an rp2040 to run the thermal management logic.

> Ironically, the same folks who want to charge customers for every plastic bag they use at the grocery store, out of fear of single-use plastics ending up in landfills, don’t seem to have a problem with potentially toxic machinery filling that space instead.

This seems disingenuous. The people who complain about one kind of trash likely would also take issue with another kind of trash if they know about it. It seems there is just a lack of information issue not a willful disregard for pollution.

Additionally any concerns about environmental impact of say solar panels needs to be tempered with fact that the alternatives today are coal and gas. Not even nuclear is perfectly clean.
Beyond the obvious answer that Twitter was influential in the tech industry and many people here worked there or used open source projects which had ties there, Musk gets a lot of attention because he seeks it out. He really likes to portray himself as the hero-industrialist saving the world from dysfunctional “politically-correct” governments which was common in the 80s and 90s sci-fi novels he almost certainly was exposed to at a young age. A lot of people here really wanted that to be true - the dream of rockets to Mars, brain interfaces, etc. is cool and the way he talks about “real engineering” sounds really appealing to anyone who’s cranking out CRUD apps at an MBA-dominated company.

He could have kept his mouth shut and enjoyed that reputation for the rest of his life, but he seems to crave being in the limelight and especially painting himself as some kind of hero standing up to orthodoxy. When he bought Twitter, a common comparison was to an alcoholic buying a bar and I think that’s really true. He’s thrown away billions on incredibly bad business decisions starting by locking himself into an agreement to pay twice as much as Twitter was worth, financed in a way which immediately created a huge cash flow problem, and promptly drove away enough advertisers to make the problems even worse.

Jeff Bezos, Tim Cook, etc. would likely not have bought it in the first place but if they had, it wouldn’t have been amateur hour. They would have paid an appropriate amount, had a business plan which makes sense when sober, and above all they wouldn’t be spouting off in public giving people reasons to leave and linking it so heavily to the corporate brand. If Jeff Bezos was secretly an extreme Republican, he’d be talking in public about how taxes should be lower to help strengthen business or the other kinds of anodyne statements which are priced in for billionaires. If he wanted to funnel money to an extremist candidate or cause it’d be run through industry groups and PACs explicitly to avoid giving Amazon customers a reason to hesitate the next time they’re shopping. Tesla is getting slaughtered because a huge fraction of their prospective buyers have been forced to recognize that their money goes to someone with views they strongly oppose - the CEO of Toyota probably has beliefs I don’t share but I don’t know any of them and it’s not linked to the brand identity, whereas the number of people view a Tesla as a MAGA hat on wheels must be giving their marketing department daily stress headaches.
Healthcare could be an open transparent market, and it'd still work. The problem is US healthcare is neither open and transparent, neither universal and socialized.
Thank you, but your setup introduces dependency on Glasskube which, even though seems a nice project, is hard to justify in any org I worked for. If someone feels that deploying ArgoCD is too much time/effort (it really isn't), they shouldn't be doing it.
What about the port currently used by the Northrup Grumman supply ship - is that not compatible with Dragon ? Is there no adaptor to make the Russian Soyuz/Progress ports usable by Dragon ?
Your Raison, my raisin. I did not see the requirement for perfect Franch.
My LG refrigerator had similarly priced replacement parts for the removable shelves in the doors, several of which cracked. It was bonkers. Is this partly because the demand for these specific parts is relatively low?
Thanks for sharing this, very interested to follow them
New employees by themselves aren't the problem, and can be trained and eventually get sufficient experience by working in an environment where the people around them know what they are doing.

But if you don't train them, and not enough people around them know what they are doing, they can never get the experience needed.

Boeing just cheaped out, didn't retain, didn't train.
I am almost surprised they did not try to come up with something that isn't really that bad, but isn't great that they failed at just to give themselves a "critical" failure.

That would add credibility to this self made report card...

The scary part is there is likely a decent number of people (I would be lying if I wouldn't at first glance) that would see them being critical about themselves and take that to assume the rest is fine.

> surveilling every person in the world at all times to ensure safety is a gross misapplicaiton of tech that flies in the face of personal freedom and privacy

Not at all times, of course.

But if we built the technology to do it whenever someone is operating a multi-ton vehicle on a shared roadway (similar to how we require police to wear body-cams), I wouldn't actually be sad about it or feel unduly watched.

I do concur, however, that routing it through the insurance company is pretty sub-optimal; I'd much prefer a public authority that I could vote out if they screw up.
Europe has airports as well, of course. We're discussing other transport here though.

In a lot of companies the root cause of this kind of thing is not being willing to spend the kind of money needed to achieve the desired result

You need to be honest with yourself about whether you can actually afford what you what to do.

The other side is it’s not unusual to see a company getting bled by an entrenched third party

All of this calls VirtualAlloc behind the scenes, and you can do that yourself as well for manual page allocation. Each page can have options set with VirtualProtect to allow or disallow execution of code within the pages as well.

It's fashionable to hate Boeing, and they totally deserve it, but I'm in the industry (satellite payload side mostly) and I've been getting hints that this is becoming the case everywhere. Spacex in particular seems to be trying to move as much of the assembly labor as possible to lower qualification workers as a cost cutting measure.

Now, that's kinda how manufacturing works. You start with a product that is hand assembled by your $200/hr engineers and try to get it to the point where it's being mass produced by $20/hr techs and/or automated machinery. The issue is, how skilled are you at training those techs and setting up automation? If your management culture is dogshit at organizing literally anything, you're gonna have a bad time. You can take random people off the street and teach them to assemble spacecraft faster than you'd expect, but you need to be deliberate about it. Basically, this isn't an issue of using unwashed "non-areospace" workers, it's Boeing management and high level engineers continuing to be trash.

On the flip side, Spacex is relatively organized, but they'll have their moment when they run their course as a hot startup, failures and lessons lead to "process" and they can no longer get infinite new talent for the meat grinder. They almost make a point of not retaining, they want their workforce on edge at all times and you can only do that so long, all their talent is running off with their knowledge to other startups.
you'd still need to filter it.
Now you have very hot water going through pipes not designed for it. I don't know what the consequences would be but I can easily imagine that some might be serious either from an economics or health point of view, possibly both.

I appreciate your comment, thanks.

Quick clarification: The testimonials you're referring to say "3m" and "5m" which means "3 months" and "5 months" ago respectively (every couple months, we have a push for sew users to leave us reviews).

As a French person, it did not occur to me that for US readers it might mean "minutes" (here we would abbreviate that to "3 min" and "5 min" respectively).

I think I'll just remove dates from reviews to avoid that confusion. I don't think the platform we're using has i18n.

And we do have a pricing page: https://onetake.ai/pricing

The birthday offer is a test we ran on my birthday (and reopened a few days ago) to introduce a cheaper plan.

Thanks for providing an external perspective. As you mentioned, you are most likely not my target audience, but eliminating confusion always helps, so I'll change a few things now.
Would they be better with a different country though? To be fair, a substantial part of the US population couldn’t point Iran or Ukraine[1] on the map.

I’m an ML engineer who’s spent more than 5 minutes thinking about this idea and would not have automatically rejected the pitch.
I am not a fluids, thermo engineer, but maybe:

Use a heat pump to boil the water with efficient transferred heat (instead of higher energy generated heat), and some kind of heat recapture from the steam.

The heat used to boil the water could largely be extracted from the steam, to increase efficiency, and speed up condensation.

If this could be done with a small unit, it would be a nice upgrade over the common end-point on-demand hot water heater.

Any temperature water from just under boiling hot, through regular "cold"/room, down to chilled, based on heat recapture level. Always clean.
Why hasn't this always existed?

I'm guessing because this topic is a "fractal".

At a high-level, it appears super simple - but the more you zoom in, the more complex it becomes.
While I agree with the "live and let live" (or perhaps "die and let live") spirit of your latter paragraph, it does not address one of the more vivid arguments against your position: that the vast network of machinery with which you propose to extend your own life may itself be a formidable threat to the long-term viability of life on this planet
I thought someone as Steam can make it work.
Both of those appear to use spark plugs; see "Comment 1" and "Comment 2" in TFA for guesses as to what Ford might have originally used for ignition instead.
I barely know anything about America, and I honestly don't care. It's just weird seeing everyone talking about every little thing Elon does, scanning Twitter for every mistake or comment he makes.
In fact looking further the pi and the esps have very similar pin outs with regard to gpio functionality?

Are people in this thread just misguided in saying the esp doesn’t have Pio or am I missing something?
No, they actually have made them go through more rigor than Starliner has been subject to.

What I'm saying is that Dragon was built upon an existing proven platform. The effort needed to convert the cargo module for human spaceflight is less than the effort Boeing needed to create a module from scratch. AND SpaceX still had to go through more rigor with Crew Dragon than what Boeing has had to do with Starliner.

The certification standards for Starliner have been reduced compared to Dragon, and Boeing is asking for them to be reduced further still.

What is there to be afraid of about death, exactly? If you don't believe in any afterlife or continuation, then there will be no consciousness to perceive the other side of death.

If you do believe in an afterlife or continuation, you'll have spent your life preparing accordingly.

I was supposing microplastics come into system before they reach centralized location and not in the pipes from centralized location to output in home.

But evidently I'm wrong in that supposition?
It's the "Biological threats" for me. The fact that they have this as a specific risk category just underscores how laughable this is. Out of all the nefarious things a bad actor could try to use an LLM for, creating biological threats is by far the most implausible. Even "nuclear terrorism" would be more relevant.

Sabotaging infrastructure or doing something "interesting" with chemicals are a couple of scenarios where an unskilled person might be significantly aided by something as crude as an LLM. But working with biological systems requires years and years of experience with working in a laboratory to do anything remotely dangerous. If you have that level of competence, you don't need the LLM to tell you what to do.

This is just the same level of technobabble fearmongering as the "biohazard" mode in the Tesla climate controls.
I was thinking of this book

https://www.amazon.com/Time-Enough-Love-Robert-Heinlein-eboo...

I wonder how this compares to anti-flash white?

Interesting, but boiling all of our water would use a lot of energy. And most filters don't get small enough to remove microplastics and PFAs.

Reverse osmosis systems do though, and you can get several that will install under your sink. I bought a APEC system and am super happy with it. Even though plumbing is about my least favorite home DIY, the kit came with most stuff I needed and I got it done. I even plumbed in my coffee maker (no more filling up every morning! best thing ever), refrigerator and hot water dispenser.

These do exist for large scale too, removes more from the water, and very likely less energy intensive.

> Being old is not limited to how you look. It’s also how your world views change, how your personality evolves, etc.

It's also your muscles, which won't be old, and the on-going feeling of a ticking biological clock driving people to say "kids, now, before it is too late".

It's also how much sleep you need, how much energy you have.

It's also your metabolism, your ability to recover from light injuries, to exercise, to excel at sport.

It's also neuro-plasticity.

We don't have good examples to even guess if world-views (or fashion choices) lock in place because of brain age, or because we've seen too much and become bored.

But personality, that we can already change with chemistry; it's not a reason by itself for anything.

> Looking at my children grow older day after day is the thing that bring me the most joy and sens of meaning in my life.

Good for you :)

But for me, I wish I'd had kids already, but I have many other joys until I find someone who can help me with that (most of my friends are deliberately child-free). If I became ageless, it wouldn't be a worry to wait.
I’m trying to come up with an intuitive reason the model would do that and I’m seeing nothing.

Deep neural networks are very strange beasts.
How about an option to disable tabs altogether and use a "one-tab-window" instead? Like we used to have before. I already have a WM able to handle this. I don't need another level of window management with its own logic and shortcuts.
> A site that allows speaking freely is full of disinformation and hate speech?

The site doesn't allow you to speak freely. There are many instances of Elon banning people, including journalists, from the site.

But going further, a site that isn't able or willing to manage its content will inevitably get filled with disinformation and spam.
The reality is the oddities of Yamaha's (& Casio's) way of modeling FM (various pre-set "algorithms" with preset routings of phase modulations) are silly once you have a proper modern interface where you can just draw out whatever "routings" you want.

And chained modulations itself is just a poor unintuitive optimization for just running multiple modulations in parallel additively rather than chaining them in sequence. The Yamaha way of doing this is an optimization for old hardware, and is needlessly confusing.

How effective was the boiling alone? Would a typical Brita-type filler be sufficient for the final step?

Naturally, all of the consumer water fillers are likely made of plastic.
Maybe this is why Kanye West does so many stunts and make controversial remarks, to stay relevant when the odd are so stacked
Using human language models for math problems is a bad idea for exactly this reason: judging correctness of proofs in English is subjective, whereas proofs in Lean are objective and easy to machine-check. Deepmind's AlphaProof was so remarkable precisely because it spoke Lean, so its proofs were verifiable. Why waste time on anything else?
And also willing to retain the experienced workers from which the freshers can learn... costs costs costs, while a rocket comes down anyway (CEO thinking here)

Why “surely”? I don’t see why people would try to stop killing each other if everyone were immortal. There would still be fighting for resources, power, land…
The actual quality of their apps has significantly degraded over time. Many of their apps which use web-native technologies have become nearly unusable, and I strongly suspect it's exactly because they've gone down this insane road of bike shedding and constant re-inventing of the wheel instead of pursuing excellence.
Thanks for the feedback. I agree that setting up a blank ArgoCD is pretty simple. But installing applications and keeping ArgoCD up to date is where we saw a lot of challenges. On a sidenote: Why would it be hard to justify a dependency on Glasskube?
It really depends on your workflows. I dread tree style on work laptop as I go through tickets a lot, and only what matters to me is last 4 digits out of 10 the tickets have. If I use horizontal tabs second half of tab name is truncated but opposite on tree styled ones
I feel like this is an advertisement for GlassKube. It should be noted in the title for clarity.
tl;dr Everyone else isn't as extroverted as I am. There must be something wrong with them.
We're moving our entire codebase away from Langchain and related products (langgraph, langsmith). I originally thought the library had potential and just needed some polishing which would come with time, but it's just been getting worse and worse. LCEL is the weirdest half-baked idea; it's a nice gimmick that makes your code impossible to debug in a step through debugger. Random stuff breaks with every other release. I deeply regret using it by now.

SpaceX is pretty open about optimizing for many iterations, a bit like the philosophy in software of shipping an MVP to get user feedback sooner for future iterations. Boeing has an established culture that's more like traditional waterfall development. When you watch their launches, they have tiers of objectives that get less and less likely to succeed - they plan to push even if failure is likely tlso they can learn from both their successful objectives and the eventual failure.
