For me the best coding use case is getting up to speed in an unfamiliar library or usage. I describe the thing I want and get a good starting point and often the cookie-cutter way is good enough. The pre-LLM alternative would be to search for tutorials but they will talk about some slightly different problem with different goals etc then you have to piece it together, and the tutorial assumes you already know a bunch of things like how to initialize stuff and skips the boilerplate and so on.

Now sure, actually working through it will give a deeper understanding that might come handy at a later point, but sometimes the thing is really a one-off and not an important point. Like as an AI researcher I sometimes want to draft up a quick demo website, or throw together a quick Qt GUI prototype or a Blender script or use some arcane optimization library or write a SWIG or a Cython wrapper around a C/C++ library to access it in Python, or how to stuff with Lustre, or the XFS filesystem or whatever. Any number of small things where, sure, I could open the manual, do some trial and error, read stack overflow, read blogs and forums, OR I could just use an LLM, use my background knowledge to judge whether it looks reasonable, then verify it, use the now obtained key terms to google more effectively etc.
You can't just blindly copy-paste it and you have to think critically and remain in the driver seat. But it's an effective tool if you know how and when to use it.

This is totally correct in that air power determines the domination. Even if air power can't necessarily route entrenched forces it prevents them from movement and can decimate supply lines. Not only do we have the USAF which is massive you leave out the other important thing which is the Navy's ability to deploy air power. A US carrier has more air power than most countries in the world.

I don't understand how this surprises anyone. You choose to give them your data. It's not free. If you don't want them to have your data, don't give it away.
I still fail to see the overall problem. Hallucinating non-existing libraries is a good programming practice in many cases: you express your solution in terms of an imaginary API that is convenient for you, and then you replace your API with real functions, and/or implement it in terms of real functions.

Except that it sometimes does do those tasks well. The danger in an LLM isn't that it sometimes hallucinates, the danger is that you need to be sufficiently competent to know when it hallucinates in order to fully take advantage of it, otherwise you have to fallback to double checking every single thing it tells you.
o1 could be useful for heavy math/science/coding work, such as a study tool or coding assistant. If new o1-based tools come out and the model gets too good at this kind of work, many software engineers might be cooked. The codeforces result is concerning, although codeforces is not representative of software engineering in industry.
Because there are a number of states that have repeatedly demonstrated that they can't be trusted to make basic, life-improving changes for themselves. Then respectable places like California end up footing the bill when they shake the proverbial can.

A fair number of these states had to be held at gunpoint to eliminate slavery.
> I don’t agree that a moka pot wouldn’t be enough

Sure, but a moka pot is not espresso, by the definition of espresso. It is like espresso, sure, but it does not achieve the required pressures to, well, press (hence, espresso) the water through the coffee. That is why I stopped using moka pots.

> The advice though on the market is that if you want a good cup of coffee you need to do more than buy the machine

That may just be your opinion because I honestly don't see any reason to spend more than necessary on espresso, as BugsJustFindMe says.

In short, I want espresso, but I do not want anything past that point, because the gains are marginal.
Don’t love the bounty state here — security researchers, is it typical to wait this long with Apple or other FAANG type companies?
The fourth photo is Olympus Mons, not a volcano on Mars; it is the volcano on Mars. I'm sure a lot of you know this, however reminding myself of how big this peak is is always breathtaking. A hypothetical ascent in our future would be the single largest climbing feat human kind ever could undertake in our known solar system [0].

Mt. Everest is 8,848.86 m (29,032 ft) [1].

Mauna Kea (assuming you're climbing from the local bottom of the ocean is 9,330 m (30,610 ft) [2].

Olympus Mons' prominence is 21,900 m (71,850 feet 4.724 inches) [3].

Try climbing Everest, twice, where the entire mountain (and planet) is the "death zone" and your supplies have to be flown in from one planet over.

Edit: Also! For a sense of scale, the crater in the photo is 85 km (53 miles) in diameter [4]. About the distance from the Taco Bell in Half Moon Bay to the Taco Bell just east of Santa Cruz as the crow flies [5].

> The empathy part I don’t understand.

This is what you need when writing documentation covering...

1. Where should someone new to the codebase start? Literally, which line in which file?

2. How does the code "fit together"? What is the call-graph of its top use-cases?

3. What are its compile-time and run-time dependencies? Which exact versions of those dependencies were used during development?

4. When something isn't working, how can someone replicate your development environment EXACTLY in order to determine what's different about theirs?

5. How would you approach debugging on this codebase? A detailed write-up or even a video of every step you took could help someone new gain a deep understanding quickly.

I've long had the feeling that Nebula was kind of sketchy, ever since they kicked out J.T. (Second Thought), a founding member. I'm glad it's working out for Philosophy Tube and Jessie Gender, but I will not be surprised at all if there's not a total rug-pull some time in the future.
If so, you may want to rent more than one server and set multiple web servers with a centralized database. Like people did in the 90s!

But that will cost more than $10/month.
I was particularly moved by the importance of basket-weaving, and how many different aspects of ecological balance were kept by this one practice.
Right, I got downvoted for my comment (with no rebuttal). People get uncomfortable when you point out the truth. Oh well, they can keep getting butthurt and I'm going to keep spewing anti-establishment comments.

Lack of temperature control is a minus, as that means that there will be some blends that won't taste good, these days most fancy machines have a pid (and if yours doesn't you should install it, or you are missing out).

Kind of related, lack of boiler at 1.5 atm means non-great milk foaming capabilities.

Also, you buy a good 1500$ machine, your grandchildren will be able to inherit it if you take care of it. That delhongi won't last two days further than the minimum required by guarantee.
I don't agree with the premise that coming up with an explanation for Stockholm Syndrome means it's not real. "People in captivity may develop emotional bonds with the violent criminals threatening to kill them" is an important fact for police and hostage negotiators to know, even if every single facet of that behavior is rational.

I would also, though, strongly question the idea that it was rational in the original case the parent article cites. Plausible arguments for distrusting the police, sure, but it makes no sense to "fully trust" two criminals who are holding you captive and plan to murder you if they don't get their way.
>I wouldn't like to be with a prostitute because of possible hidden diseases and lack of trust

Why do you inherently distrust a former sex worker? What about sex work is distrustful? Do you think prostitutes have a habit of not delivering after payment or something?
It really doesn't though - actual hearing aids have way higher end speakers, microphones, and other sensors that result in the high price tag.

It's great that apple is offering this, I am not opposed to that at all. I am opposed to them changing definitions for political points, resulting in a degradation of the meaning of the original term.

If they called it 'hearing assistant' or something else that makes it clear there is a real difference in these cheap / low end products rather than expanding the term to include everything under the sun that can amplify sound it would be different.

They are basically tricking consumers into believing that suddenly hearing aid technology and audiologists are not necessary at all, and I guarantee it is going to result in many people further damaging their hearing as a result.
Nothing stopping you from using them together. Its all just CSS

> U+093b is still in the BMP

I'm sorry, I don't know what that means. If you have a specific character you'd like me to try then please tell me what it is. My Unicode expertise is quite limited.

> I am not sold on lens-regex-pcre documentation

Nor me. It seems to leave a lot to be desired. In fact, I don't see the point of this lens approach to regex.

> "anything that works in PCRE will work" comes across as very dismissive

Noted, thanks, and apologies. That was not my intention. I was trying to make a statement of fact in response to your question.

> By the way, what text encodings for source files are supported by GHC?

UTF-8 I think. For example, pasting that character into GHC yields:

ghci> mapM_ T.putStr ("foo bar ः baz" ^.. [regex|\p{Mc}|] . match)
ः

> What string-like types are supported?

ByteString (raw byte arrays) and Text (Unicode, internal representation UTF-8), as you can see from:

https://hackage.haskell.org/package/lens-regex-pcre

Whatever your system version is. For me on Debian it's:

I'm sorry if you don't believe it, but it really happens. The "coating" would have to be pretty thick, this gouge was something you could easily feel with your fingertip. I was very careful to not let my keys or anything else get near it, and the gouge (which was essentially the only scratch on the otherwise flawless screen) was exactly where my thumb hits the screen.

My Pixel 4a, meanwhile, was in my pocket all the time and never got a scratch.
This is demonstrably wrong, because you can just add "is this real" to a response and it generally knows if it made it up or not. Not every time, but I find it works 95% of the time. Given that, this is exactly a step I'd hope an advanced model was doing behind the scenes.
passive agressive deraling of conversation
A more accurate description I think is that "we" have bifurcated. It's another element of political division.

Almost everyone I know thinks that things like OnlyFans are embarrassing at best, and disgusting at worst. Sure, most of us look at porn, but admitting that you've paid for it and _especially_ admitting that you have a "favourite camgirl" or whatever would be properly cringe.
My point isn't that the model falls for gender stereotypes, but that it falls for thinking that it needs to solve the unmodified riddle.

Humans fail at the original because they expect doctors to be male and miss crucial information because of that assumption. The model fails at the modification because it assumes that it is the unmodified riddle and misses crucial information because of that assumption.

In both cases, the trick is to subvert assumptions. To provoke the human or LLM into taking a reasoning shortcut that leads them astray.

You can construct arbitrary situations like this one, and the LLM will get it unless you deliberately try to confuse it by basing it on a well known variation with a different answer.

I mean, genuinely, do you believe that LLMs don't understand grammar? Have you ever interacted with one? Why not test that theory outside of adversarial examples that humans fall for as well?
Back in November I spent half a day at the Shinagawa immigration office to obtain a trusted travelers program pass since doing it at the airport would’ve been inconvenient for me due to my super-early arrival at Haneda and my super-late departure. It wasn’t too bad, but I spent half a day there and there were unclear instructions regarding which area I needed to wait in. Thankfully it’s all taken care of, and the reward for spending half a day at Shinagawa is using the automated kiosks whenever I enter and depart Japan, which saved me tons of time in July when I arrived at Narita, bypassing a very long visitors’ line. I go to Japan frequently and so I’ll make up for the hours I spent in Shinagawa by the time my pass expires.
Are you travelling first class?

If you are not, then you are probably not making the right comparison. Supersonic travel will absolutely not be for those who are flying economy right now and complaining about reclining, legroom, and crying babies. The kind of things that make flights feel very long, and yet, that's how most people fly despite much superior alternatives, because it is cheaper.

Judging by how much it cost to fly on Concorde, it is reasonable to assume that a supersonic ticket will be equivalent in price to first class, or at least a very good business class.

It means a seat that can recline 180°, good enough to sleep on, an internet connection suitable for remote work, as I expect it to become standard in the near future, a decent meal and some privacy. In these conditions, saving a few hours may not be as desirable as it is in economy class. Knowing that in order to shorten your trip, you will be sacrificing some of that comfort, or pay even more, maybe getting close to private jet territory.
Intel is behind TSMC by maybe a year or two at most. Both TSMC and Intel are shipping products fabricated on 3nm-class fabrication today, but according to Intel's own slides they while they are roughly competitive on performance/watt, they are still behind on density and cost.
Veracity of the quotes aside, people always bust this sort of thing out like it proves that the current young people aren't so bad. But if anything, it convinces me that these historical figures were probably right! I can see, with my own eyes, how bad my own generation is (let alone those after me). So if that's the case, then maybe the ancient old guys were right in their cases as well.

Espresso forge has even fewer moving parts, and no rotating bearing surfaces or arms that can snap. The moving part is a stainless steel rod with two EPDM o-rings on the moving surface.

You're making an assumption.

I owned an operated a "free" adult website for 18 years. For 15 years it was my primary source of income. During those years I always got a kick out of "there is so much free porn online, why would anyone ever pay for it?"

The way that my website worked was that it was very content-rich and content-focused. The content came directly from the affiliate programs that I was advertising for. Despite it being all advertising, I often got compliments that my website was "ad free." That's because I didn't push banner ads or anything intrusive. It was free content plus a text link that you could click on if you wanted more of that content.

The website shut down in 2022, and the bank accounts are all closed. But many of the affiliate accounts are still pulling rebills.

Most of the subscription based websites that were advertised were not websites that promised any sort of interaction with the performers or models. It was very obvious that you were paying for content, not social interaction and if anyone were ever confused as to that, the rebill numbers would have reflected otherwise. The fact that an indivdual subscription rebills is not a conclusive indication of a happy customer. But when so many in the aggregate rebill, it doesn't really paint the picture of a large number of people feeling duped. It's also worth noting that chargeback rates were nearly non-existent. I could count the number of times that happened over 18 years on one hand.

Now, if you've read this far thanks, I will acknowledge that we're talking about OF specifically.

At the risk of TMI, I subscribe personally to one adult content site: suicide girls. I am happily married, I'm not looking for any social interaction. It's purely eye candy. Many of the models on that site promote their personal OF pages, and while I haven't subscribed to any, I will admit that I've been tempted because they produce content that I like and I'm curious about what else they offer. I'm not at all interested in DM'ing them or trying to start some kind of parasocial relationship. I've watched a few live streams on SG, have even had some interaction in the chats in those ... but there's no desire what-so-ever to try and have some kind of "relationship." I've never tipped them or sent them money or gifts. Just the annually recurring subscription to the SG website.

People who are in difficult situations in life, have mental illnesses or physical disabilities may try and use online porn to fill a void in their life, and for some it may be unhealthy. People also stalk celebrities for the same reason. Yet we seem to make more assumptions and talk about it a hell of a lot more when it comes pornography for some reason. I'm not saying that there aren't social issues that are important to look at and talk about. But when it comes to porn there's such a taboo and willingness to shame others and make mass assumptions about their motivations even though we have very little idea of what we're actually talking about.
