If OnlyFans is taking a 20% cut and Apple is taking a 30% cut of transactions on their platform, it seems that Apple is 50% more toxic than OnlyFans.

One of the reasons why Cortana was deprecated was the reports of beleaguered IT professionals having to listen to dozens of chattering Cortanas as they set up a fleet of new corporate laptops.

Don't output ANSI colour codes directly - your output could redirect to a file, or perhaps the user simply prefers no colour. Use tput instead, and add a little snippet like this to the top of your script:

command -v tput &>/dev/null && [ -t 1 ] && [ -z "${NO_COLOR:-}" ] || tput() { true; }

This checks that the tput command exists (using the bash 'command' builtin rather than which(1) - surprisingly, which can't always be relied upon to be installed even on modern GNU/Linux systems), that stdout is a tty, and that the NO_COLOR env var is not set. If any of these conditions are false, a no-op tput function is defined.

This little snippet of setup lets you sprinkle tput invocations through your script knowing that it's going to do the right thing in any situation.

It is simply a lack of skilled staff. The industry has plenty of mediocre people who struggle to follow a playbook, but hardly any people who can write the playbook. It is a common trope that the government is like this, but over the last 5 years I have observed it to be true at every organisation I've encountered.

As far as i'm aware, often times they just plug into an open socket on an existing powerstrip that are so often used for PCs, no vampire-ing required. You can then unplug the powerstrip from the wall, it stays powered, inputing electricity through one of the sockets instead of drawing.

I guess a more elaborate version of the same idea can be done if the computer plugged directly to an outlet with two sockets too, removing the socket from the wall.

The only time I can forsee vampiring the cable being a thing would be if computer is directly plugged into a single socket outlet on the wall?

This is a pretty... dubious refutation.

The wind excited a vibrational mode of the bridge which caused it to kind of fail and when parts started breaking more modes were activated and it fell apart.

It's being sold as this gotcha! it's a myth! it wasn't _really_ resonant frequency!

And like... I studied aerospace structures... sure "flutter" is a bit of a better explanation, but saying "resonance" is a myth is a bit silly. Complex structures have lots of vibration modes. The first fundamental frequency can be picked usually and called _THE Resonance Frequency_ or whatever, but it's not like something anybody really places that much emphasis on being the boss in charge of all the vibration.

Myth != terminology nitpick in a layman's explanation

But you get a lot of layman going around correcting people and calling things myths.

It's like Internet people arguing about "just a theory", nobody who actually does science really cares at all about the precise meaning of the word "theory".
It is misleading to say that WWII was followed by the Baby Boom as people tend to infer from that that WWII caused the Baby Boom which does not really fit with the historical facts.

WWI was not followed by a Baby Boom - in fact US birth rates declined from 1909 until the middle of the Great Depression in 1935. Then birth rates started rising from before 1939 which is before WW2 even started.

Could even be that Reflection 70b got hyped, and they were like "wow we need to do something about that, maybe we can release the same if we quickly hack something"...

Pushing an hypothetical (and likely false, but not impossible) conspiracy theory much further:

in theory, they had access in their backend logs to the prompts that Reflection 70b were doing while calling GPT-4o (as it apparently was actually calling both Anthropic and OpenAI API instead of LLaMA), and had an opportunity to get "inspired".
This is like online reviews. If you selectively take positive or negative reviews and somehow censor the rest, the reviews are worthless. Yet, if you report on all the ones you find, it's still useful.

Yes, I'm more likely to leave reviews if I'm unsatisfied. Yes, people are more likely to leave CS if they were unhappy. Biased data, but still useful data.

I'm an academic and try pretty hard to take the train. Just got back from a 19-hours-each way Greyhound+train+Greyhound ordeal to give a couple talks. My destination was only two not-that-big states away.

They don't make it easy. Last year I had a reimbursement rejected because I took a two-night train option instead of flying -- the finance office considered this a vacation. Any time you do anything other than fly you need to provide comparison data showing that flying would've cost more. But those who fly even when the train is reasonable (for a normal person) face no such requirement.
"In June, Cox Automotive noted that the Cybertruck was the best-selling vehicle in the United States priced over $100,000."

That's very surprising. Almost more so than the headline.
It doesn't rule out negotiation. That's what the part about a written agreement is for.

It merely rules out pulling prices out of thin air. Which is what OpenAI is doing here, charging for an arbitrary amount of completely invisible tokens. The shady part is that you don't know how much of these hidden tokens you would use before you actually use them, thus making it possible to arbitrarily charge some customers different amounts whenever OpenAI feels like it.

Characters in a movie only last during the viewing. When following a Twitch streamer, you keep following this person or character over many months or years (since many of them are playing character).

If you feel a strong connection to a character and they barely know anything about you (or barely feel anything towards you), that's not truly social.
Could be, but 'AI model says weird shit' has almost never stuck around unless it's public (which won't happen here), really common, or really blatantly wrong. And usually at least 2 of those three.

For something usually hidden the first two don't really apply that well, and the last would have to be really blatant unless you want an article about "Model recovers from mistake" which is just not interesting.

And in that scenario, it would have to mean the CoT contains something like blatant racism or just a general hatred of the human race. And if it turns out that the model is essentially 'evil' but clever enough to keep that hidden then I think we ought to know.

I think OpenAI’s o1 is aimed at specialized use cases that require handling edge cases and more complex queries. It’s not flawless yet, but I see its potential in areas like advanced automation, fact-checking, and personalized content. I actually wrote a blog about it, diving into its potential uses.

Because it otherwise forces the caller to have an extra explicit step that doesn't really contribute to anything. It's a trivial transform, and as such just gets in the way of what the code actually does.

Of course with great power comes great responsibility, so it's a tool that should be used sparingly and deliberately.

Now as mentioned I don't use Haskell, but that's why I like it in other languages.

I asked as I was curious if there was something that prevented this in Haskell, beyond a design choice.

I think this speaks to a larger problem that likely exists in every company: certainly someone at Apple had written a library function to do this safely, but how do you enforce that that function is used, rather than reimplemented unsafely from scratch? Especially if code reviewers are also unfamiliar with the library. Are there any modern solutions for this?
> The failure is in how you're using it

This isn’t true because, as you can read in the first sentence of the post you’re responding to, GP did give it a task like you recommend here

> Provide it data, give it a task, and let it surprise you with its output.

And it fails the task. Specifically it fails it by hallucinating important parts of accomplishing it.

> hallucinates non-existing libraries and functions

This post only makes sense if your advice to “let it surprise you with its output” is mandatory, like you’re using it wrong if you do not make yourself feel impressed by it.
Diffumon – Simple Image Generating Diffusion Model

> 2) Inviting fans to her house for Secret Sessions to listen to her albums before release dates.

There have been drives where power cycling was hazardous. So, whilst I agree to the model, it shouldn't be assumed this is always good, all the time, for all people. Some SSD need to be powered periodically. The duty cycle for a NAS probably meets that burden.

Probably good, definitely cheaper power costs. Those extra grease on the axle drives were a blip in time.

Not really. That's just the metaphors that are used for teaching. Really just for introducing the concept, if the teacher is any good. Because it's not very helpful for what developers actually do most of the time.

If you want to believe Alan Kay, it's about "messaging, local retention and protection and hiding of state-process, and extreme late-binding of all things", and almost everyone's been doing it wrong since the 70s. Oh, and he actually "thought of objects being like biological cells".

Personally, I'd say it's most importantly about encapsulating state with the code that operates on it.

Whatever you do, try to preserve your health. Without it, you have nothing. Product and market development can make things worse with RSI, stress, etc.

Get some advice on the viability of your ideas, especially whether there are obstacles. (Competitors, locked-in markets, rules and regulations and so on.)

Be realistic about what you can effectively bring to the table. Everything else has to be farmed out.

Understand whether or not your idea requires immense scale/network effect, or can bootstrap and grow organically.

He's using the term "nation state" in the political science sense, not in the colloquial sense of a political entity that encompasses a people (nation). The very concept of a modern nation-state is, as
tomcam stated, quite new. Before that, loyalty was primarily given to people (individuals or families) rather the state as an abstract concept. Empires like Rome touched on the concept as far as we can tell from historical sources, it was fairly different from the concepts of patriotism today.

Slightly off topic but maybe of interest, my local public library has a lot of Overdrive (Libby) ebooks in its catalog, which I considered useless because they were DRM'd downloads that had to be viewed in a special app.

Recently though, it became possible to read them in a web browser without a DRM plugin. The viewing app is a typical javascript monstrosity but it is sort of usable, and in principle I could exfiltrate the data with Selenium or something. So I've been wondering if this change resulted from the IA's activities somehow.

Assuming that “property” is always short for “real property” will lead to some interesting errors, as illustrated above.

Proprietary rights are varied. If one kind of property relates to a kind of right that doesn’t apply to another kind of property, that’s not a good reason to decide that one kind is not actually property.
