>if I saw someone wearing these in public

If you specifically, who I don't know and likely never will saw me wearing something like this in public and did not approve, my care factor would be nil is what I meant.

If I was to wear these in a less public setting, where perhaps I have to interact with you on a regular basis, sure, my opinion may be different.

My apologies if I misunderstood what you were trying to say.

That's not to say I would wear something like this or use it, but if it's what comes to pass, eh.
The protection offered by credit cards has real value.

Some anecdotes from this year:

I attempted to use LetsRoam over a year ago. It was a spectacular failure and offered no value. Cancelled and all was well. Over a year later they started charging me two monthly fees for who knows what reason. I called them, they bumbled around, and referred it asynchronously to some other department. I’m three months into these mysterious charges. All have been clawed back.

I tried educative.io and frequently encountered non-sense that was objectively, demonstrably false being presented with high confidence. I asked for a refund, and they said they don’t do that. I wasn’t really asking…

I paid a $2k deposit for a Harley that the dealer didn’t have in hand yet. There were unreasonable delays (I suspect they sold the bike to someone else for more), and the dealer’s policy was to not refund the deposit, but to only allow me to apply it to another motorcycle. Guess who else has policies. Because of the amount and timeframe, this was a little more involved, but still only took 15 minutes of my time.

I paid to park, but it appeared to fail. So, I tried again. I was doubled billed. Idk who I’d contact to request a refund. So, dispute it is.

I open my banks app, click dispute, and am refunded. It’s saved me untold hours of dealing with incompetence and/or maliciousness.

I simply don’t deal with this BS. I behave ethically (as best as one can judge that for themselves), but as soon as I hit abusive commercial sociopathy, I disengage. As far as I’m concerned, Visa / Chase are earning their 3%.

I have no idea what "reasonably fast" means for you. It good for performance when model fit inside memory of a graphic card. Nvidia 4090 with 24Gb will be more than enough to start learning. I use gaming notebook with Nvidia 3080Ti equipped with 16Gb of videomemory.
The teacher notes in the thread (https://x.com/freganmitts/status/1828796730634330593) that this is not a GE class, and as it's peer-conversation based, so there was some basis for helping students get to know each other.

I definitely took many classes in college for reasons other than getting credit, and I hope you did / do too!

Never heard of it before, but it constantly surprises me how much effort people are willing to put in just to keep “the old version” of something.
Oh, this is promising. It's not surprising to me: image models have been very oriented towards photography and scene understanding rather than understanding symbolic information in images (like text or diagrams), but I always thought that it should be possible to make the model better at the latter, for instance by training it more on historical handwritten documents.
Ok, we've changed to that from https://www.bytefish.de/blog/acl_google_zanzibar.html above. Thanks!

You inside of American cities are as miserable as a bird in the cage. Your language do not even have a word which means not just "to walk" in the sence of "to move yourself on foot" but "to walk for the sake of joy".
The cursor movement conventions have existed in macos since the classic mac days, when Apple was routinely shipping keyboards with "dedicated navigation keys":

Up / Down: move cursor one line up or down
Left / Right: move cursor one character left or right

Option+
Up / Down: Move cursor up or down a whole paragraph
Left / Right: move cursor left or right a whole word

Command+
Up / Down: Move cursor to the beginning of the document
Left / Right: Move cursor to the beginning or end of the document

Page Up / Page Down: Move the scrolled display area up or down a "page" without moving the cursor

Home / End: Move the scrolled display area to the beginning or end of the document

The latter two are nice to have because it means you can scroll up through a window to view something, and start typing to have your view snap back to your cursor position.
> You can't get out of a contract because it's a bad deal.

I think there is a difference between something that you dont know is a bad deal because it depends on future events (real estate market shifts or whatever) vs something that is a bad deal because you were mislead or didn't understand the contract.

If you take a risk and it doesn't work out - that is life. However that is a little different from the timeshare case, which seems less about risk and more about tricking people.

I did once live in a city (Alameda) with its own power company and I think that’s a good way to go. I doubt they had the capability to “island” (run disconnected), though, despite being an island.

Everything is a matter of engineering, but it’s also a matter of cost, who pays to build or upgrade the infrastructure, and what cheaper alternatives there might be. From what I remember reading about Vermont, it was less expensive to add battery backups controlled by the power company than to upgrade the grid in rural areas.
The public spaces are subsidized by advertising.

Filtering out billboards on the highway is reducing their impressions, and thus reducing the money that ultimately goes into repairing the road you're driving on.

The modified AR device will instead filter ads, but charge 0.03 cents per ad filtered, and each advertiser will get 0.02 cents each time their ad is filtered. Facebook of course keeps the remaining 30% for facilitating the ad and anti-ad marketplace.

Eventually there will be a bidding war where advertisers will require you to pay 0.10c not to view their ad, which they'll have made increasingly unpleasant to look at, and you'll have to adjust your device's balance and payment thresholds to avoid getting hit by AR jumpscares as you drive around.

Anyway, I pay on average $0.35c per youtube video not to look at ads based on the cost of youtube premium vs the number of videos I watch in a month, so honestly the above price-point seems like a good deal.
If it's a peer conversation class, perhaps it would have been more appropriate for them to report what another student told them what they hoped to get out of the class...

PhDs, and they did present at conferences (which in my field were not very selective), but yes it does seem like they did not get the whole PhD experience

Then why make it a written assignment? If it's a peer-conversation based non-GE class, why not ask them to stand up for two minutes and do the awkward intro thing in person on their first day? Then the professor could have had a dialog about what students hope to get from her class, if she really cared.

This was pointless busywork through and through, the kind I'd expect ChatGPT to create for a lazy educator.
This is ridiculous. It's hard to see the source of the leverage.
Maybe I am being to much of a purist, but retroactively modifying commits and history? Why? Stuff happens, so do mistakes. Fix the mistakes, make another commit, and go on with your life.

> Using the 25% on-call rule, we can derive the minimum number of SREs required to sustain a 24/7 on-call rotation. Assuming that there are always two people on-call (primary and secondary, with different duties), the minimum number of engineers needed for on-call duty from a single-site team is eight: assuming week-long shifts, each engineer is on-call (primary or secondary) for one week every month.

How does this work in practice. If you're on call for the entire week, and the response time is expected to be no more than 13 minutes, are you expected to just... never leave your office (or home if you work from home) for a week straight?

I would expect on call, when it requires a specific response time, would be a normal 8 hour shift, and that's your 8 hours for the day. And you work on other stuff unless a call comes in, for which you drop whatever you're working on to deal with it.

For "I'm available by phone, but it could be an hour or two before I get to a computer if I'm needed", the week long shift makes a little more sense.
iCloud has E2EE with ADP, if that's something that would interest you.
Yeah, but again, the problem isn't the high false positive rate.

The problem is that given any positive at all, the chance it points to a problem is still virtually zero.

If it was 6.8% of all tests as false positives and 2% true positives, probably people wouldn't have silenced the alarm.

If it goes off 8 times a day and 2 of them are true positives, then people have recent memories of having to fix problems pointed by the alarm.
From the article:

> "A lot of students who take philosophy classes, especially if they're not majors, don't really know what philosophy is," she said. "So I like to get an idea of what their expectations are so I can know how to respond to them."
Sounds very reasonable to me.
I think you might want to double check that. I only moved to macOS after the M1 launched, and all of my automations and AppleScripts work just fine with no issues.

>AR glasses might work better, but they'd introduce other issues, like conflicting with sunglasses and helmet.

Well ideally, the AR glasses would double as sunglasses (perhaps photochromic so you can use them at night too). And if they had the same size frames as regular sunglasses (and not these huge clunky ones seen on the prototype), then they wouldn't interfere with your helmet any more than regular sunglasses.

>In fact, for turn by turn nav, I prefer audio. And no, I'm not interested in your opinions about the safety of that :)

Well I'm going to give it to you anyway :-) I've tried audio for turn-by-turn nav, and it really sucks. Not because of safety, but just because it doesn't work well. It's hard to hear if it's noisy, it doesn't tell which road to turn on correctly, etc. I guess if you're in some rural area and there's only one turn visible in the next kilometer, it's fine, but I live in Tokyo and roads here are tiny (1 car wide at best in many places) and close together, so when it says "turn right", that doesn't really tell me much. It also doesn't help much because nav usually wants to direct me on main roads instead of side roads, but side roads are much better for cycling: on main roads, you either ride with traffic and get hit by trucks, or you ride on the sidewalk and dodge pedestrians going in and out of storefronts (the latter is preferred by almost all cyclists here). But on the side roads, you can avoid most of this. The problem, however, is that many side roads don't go far before they're blocked by a park or a train line or something else. A moving map would show you the road layout so you can choose for yourself a convenient route, and also be able to make quick decisions for alternate routes in case you miss a turn or just want to ride a different way for some reason. On top of all that, the audio is just plain loud and annoying and rude to all the pedestrians nearby, and makes me feel embarrassed.
I agree - if I was a student, I would be very tempted to use an LLM for this sort of coursework-irrelevant busywork assignment, especially if I had other work on my plate. It's not so hard to rationalize using it for this type of thing vs. an "actual" assignment, all due respect to the professor, who I'm sure means well
You're not alone. I am in the devops space, and about half way through I was thinking "ok, I get you're excited about this thing, but what is it?"

It looks like it is in the same space as terraform, but uses a gui instead of defining your infrastructure as code, but allows you to "simulate" and review changes before actually applying them.
That link contains good info but... i feel like its a bit too biased when they also happen to sell what they're preaching.

I'd say the best solution is to reduce sugar consumption and just eat foods with a lot of collagen, such as fish, bone broth, beef, eggs - these foods also happen to be generally high in nutrition per gram, so you can eat less overall, and still get the nutrients you need. (without sponsoring some supplement manufacturer)

like with eggs, natures vitamin supplement... that white "skin" between the egg white and the shell, is pure collagen.
Probably impossible in the US at least, as it would be considered a first amendment violation.
Maybe an AI is best able to detect when another AI did someone's homework.

The purpose of an assignment is not to produce a document, it's for the student learn how to synthesize information.

Having an AI produce the document does not provide the student, or the rest of society who needs the student to be good for something, with anything.

In this case it was even stupider. It wasn't a test, it was an informational question about themselves.

What in the ever loving hell is the defense or value in having an AI fabricate a random answer to a question about what you think about something? At least outside of some marketing data gathering context where there is a reason to give false information.
People are still learning how to utilize AI in its current form. It will take time for people to integrate this style of tech into their workflows, as well as time for new applications to be developed and released.
Individual bugs triggered in normal operation ought to decay over time on software that is maintained. If bugs cause problems, someone may report them and some fraction of them will be fixed. That's a decay mechanism.

Not-yet exploited vulnerabilities, though, don't have that decay mechanism. They don't generate user unhappiness and bug reports. They just sit there, until an enemy with sufficient resources and motivation finds and exploits them.

There are more enemies in that league than there used to be.
Another theory: it’s possibly related to a change of heart at OpenAI to become a for-profit company. It is rumoured Altman’s gunning for a 7% stake in the for-profit entity. That would be very substantial at a $150B valuation.

Squeezing out senior execs could be a way for him to maximize his claim on the stake. Notwithstanding, the execs may have disagreed with the shift in culture.

Years ago I had a conversation with a friend of a friend that worked at one of the big chip fabs in their lab dept. He mentioned they made very heavy use of sqlite as a file format for distribution. This was back in the "xml all the things" era and it struck me as such a smart breath of fresh air.

I'm honestly surprised it isn't more pervasive.

Exactly, I was CS, but took Psychology classes for my own interest. It was fun bringing a different point of view and only realizing it once we started discussing the reading material.

One time in a small seminar class on mental models the professor asked us to each draw a tree. Only once we were done and everyone started sharing their tree did I realize that I had gone straight to a directed acyclic graph. I completely forgot about the green leafy things. Everyone had a good laugh, and it was actually a good example for what were talking about.

Asking ChatGPT for what I should say during a class is just play acting at education. Really feels liek a waste of time and money.
I remember reading this article years ago and admiring it a lot. I wonder how it holds up today with so much more complexity both in their ambitions and experiments, vast dependency trees etc?

ChatGPT is a tool, and it's hard to argue that someone should be able to work without a useful tool. This is a great argument for advocating in favor of AI at work. Tools are great.

However, education is not work. The point of education is not the production of a finished output. The point is to learn. If teachers let students defer their understanding to AI by using ChatGPT to write assignments that means education stops being about the thing they're meant to be learning and starts being a test of prompt engineering. That has it's uses, sure, but you have to be honest about admitting that's what you're arguing in favor of.

Should education be about getting a real, fundamental understanding of a subject, or should it be about prompting an AI to do work in that subject area? I'd suggest the former is a lot more useful and valuable in the long term. If I was spending money on my education that's what I'd want at the end.

There are multiple skills here that you are inadvertently and confusingly asking for.

1. Do you mean graphics algorithms? Like how to turn concepts into pixels? Offline rendering for film is nearly the same as realtime video game rendering from a math perspective... just the techniques / estimations to simulating light must be way faster for video games and GPU coded.

Offline rendering for movies can take hours per frame. That's why 3d movie scenes look so much better.

2. Do you mean GPU programming specifically? Whether you render realtime like in a video game, or offline for hours, GPU programming is a specialized skill set. GPUs are faster at many parallel programming tasks that show up in rendering.

3. Do you want a toy? An offline, simple renderer can be built in under 100 lines of code. https://www.kevinbeason.com/smallpt/

4. Do you want to handle other objects (ex: triangles?) Features that video game programmers care about? (Ex: Uber Shaders?). Features movie producers care about? (Unbiased rendering??). These are all specialized skills above and beyond the basic concepts.

-----------

Rasterization, even today on 2024, remains the bulk of rendering for realtime video games even as modern GPUs and Programmers have added a little bit of raytracing.

Rasterization conceptually is related to the painters algorithm but a bit more optimized. Draw things furthest away from the camera: then draw nearer things 'over' the old stuff until you've drawn everything.

It's pretty easy to draw just one object in the screen given its relative position, and it's alleged color (or textures: which define what sequence of colors it has on its surface). And a BSRF (a mathematical definition of how light interacts with that object). You will likely start with an easy Phrong shader/BSRF but Phrong shading is just for beginners to get started. More realistic and more convenient algorithms (ex: the Uber Shader) are known today that are used in practice. But it's all just simulating light and how it scatters on a surface. Studying new BSRF functions and figuring out which ones to use in different circumstances is a lot of the practice today, but is mainly the artists job and not the programmers job anymore.

Repeatedly drawing a million such things from back to front (or: through the use of a depth buffer to determine which objects were in front in O(n time)) is also relatively simple.

---------

Raytracing is the opposite. You start with the light that 'should have entered the screen's, then you reverse that light and trace the rays backwards, simulating where the light could have come from. When light reaches a point, you calculate where it could have bounced from and then you keep doing that until all light in the scene is accounted for.

Both these techniques are simpler than they sound (!!!!). The difficult part is always the implementation details: making these techniques fast enough for modern use.
