I'm not sure this makes the idea of him saying "just figure it out" any more applicable to the rest of us (which is what the parent comment was responding to). You've pointed out that he was _unsuccessful_ for a number of decades before hitting the jackpot, and I'm dubious that the only reason he was more successful than everyone else in the long run was due to the rest of the industry just not trying hard enough. That means it was some combination of his specific skills or circumstances beyond his control, and either way, it's not really super actionable advice to "just figure it out (and either be uniquely talented or extremely lucky)".

You can get very far in life by just reading the contract, even farther by googling some context, and even farther by hiring an expert in the field.

You could restate the golden rule as "treat others sufficiently like myself the way I'd like to be treated", not so long ago this wasn't applied to other humans who didn't look the same, but now it just seems reasonable to expand who the golden rule applies to beyond just species into... beings within a certain threshold of human intelligence. It is somewhat of a fundamental of morality, beings which are sufficiently intelligence deserve the same rights as I want for myself.

If you remove intelligence (or something quite similar) as the criteria, what do you have instead?
> RMIT Research Fellow and lead author of a study on this topic, Dr. Karma Zuraiqi, said her team's greener alternative used 20% less heat and 98% less pressure than the century-old Haber-Bosch process used today for splitting nitrogen and hydrogen into ammonia.

That is pretty impressive! Even if this doesn't revolutionize our energy infrastructure, it will change a lot of our modern agriculture and chemical manufacturing.
I think OpenAI took this play right out of one of its founding donors playbooks. Pretend your company has lofty goals and you can get people to compromise to moral relativism and work superduper hard for you. These people definitely have framed posters with the “If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up the men to gather wood, divide the work, and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea" quote somewhere in their living places/workspaces.
My first thought was, “does Meta have a user base anymore that would be interested in this?” Who is their early adopter demographic?

Someday old people will use VR for escape but only when they are the late adopters. Zuckerberg has lost his damn mind. But don’t tell him that, I want the full Willie Wonka experience.

The key feature of SSIS, is parallel dataflow

You can so easily write (and schedule) parallel dataflows in SSIS, to do the same code using a general purpose programming language would be a lot harder

Also remember that dataflows are data pipe streams, so SSIS can be very very fast

Anyway, there is BIML, which allow you to create SSIS package by writing XML, I personally never used it, mainly because its licensing situation seemed weird to me ( i think BIML is free, but the tool support is not, and MS SSDT doesnt support BIML coding i thinkg)

The legality makes it larger, but also visible.
It's not a question of how easy it is to automate it. It's about how frequent and costly the mistakes are. Lawyer AI is a high bar - plus the people watching you are human lawyers, exactly the kind of people who can make your mistakes more costly.
DNA evidence is notoriously faulty. Let's not pretend it's 100% accurate. If I understand correctly, the innocence project has -- in the past -- used the fact that it's not accurate as a way to cast doubt on convictions.
I hear you, and it's possible you're right, but that's not what the dialog said and the very link that you mentioned has -- as its very first sentence -- "Once you authorize a GitHub App, the app can act on your behalf." and shows an example of commenting as me

So, I guess just to vote on a cool game I should definitely roll the dice with my github account and trust that some Internet comment is right, or, I guess upvote and be sad for them that they tried to be kewl by creating a GH app instead of oauth2 like a sane person. Naming it "Kilobot" for sure inspires confidence for its fewer than 1k installed users, too
This is founder-raising-funds math (or VC looking for liquidity math). 200k subscribers might not mean paid subs and it certainly doesn't mean 1-year of paid subs. This could be $9M (a single-month of 250 paid subs) or lower.

>I would be surprised if OpenAI was a whole digit percentage of their revenue.

As opposed to? The euphemism "I wouldn't be surprised" usually means you think what you're saying. If you negate that you're saying what you _don't_ think is the case? I may be reading too much into whats probably a typo.
Some of them are “points-based” and you can spend your points at different resorts that they own and hypothetically have some flexibility in time but “points” should be a bad smell, see

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Razzle_(game)

Where they actually cheat to help you get enough points that you think you could win them when they stop cheating the game is unwinnable. If the cops show up they will see the carnie playing ‘honestly’ and not see anything wrong. In terms of psychology it is the king of scams.

In the case of the timeshare schemes you will find all sorts of problems and limitations when you try to redeem your points, it is like the limitations on airline frequent flier points but raised to the Nth power.

But "teleporters" or "marathoners" or tons of other words follow the same pattern of stress and sound fine. "Photocopiers" extends it to four unstressed syllables and sounds fine.
Depends on the lawyer, judge, and possibly jury.

We've definitely seen cases where intent of a law was clear, but the ruling was made according to the letter of the law. It's basically why Legalese exists. They have to try to cover every possible corner case and explicitly spell things out as much as possible to avoid loopholes that can be created by creative interpretations of the letter.
The nonprofit gives all its ownership rights to the for-profit in return for equity. The nonprofit is free to hold the equity and maintain control or sell the equity and use the proceeds for actual charitable purposes.

As long as the money doesn't go into someone's pocket, it's all good (except that Sam Altman is also getting equity but I assume they found a way to justify that.)

OpenAI will eventually be forced to convert from a public charity to a private foundation and will be forced to give away a certain percentage of their assets every year so this solves that problem also.
Systemd timer units are usually two: one for the service you want to run, one for the timer file.

I think you're confusing systemd timer units with Cronie[0], a crond implementation that I think predates systemd? It's possible there's some systemd thing I don't know about though!

I think most distros at least have an installable crond

Yes definitely that is the far majority. I actually had Mozilla and their CEO in mind when I was thinking of "extreme" wealth. Also I've heard some of the huge charities in the US have some execs pulling down many millions per year, but I don't want to name any names because I'm not certain.
The "problem solving" has a constraint: it must involve software and (most of the time) the web. That severely limits the choice of problems that can be realistically addressed and potentially solved.
As the editor of this blog, I can assure you that AI did not craft the introduction. As a general rule, we include all the most relevant details in the above-the-fold section, allowing readers to quickly determine if the content warrants their time. This is consistent across all our blog posts.
There was a big project to re-architect the low level storage system to something that isn't dependent on vacuuming, called zheap. Unfortunately it seems to have stalled and nobody seems to be working on it anymore? I keep scanning the release notes for each new pgsql version, but no dice.
OR supply can change. Increased demand, in the long run, in a well-functioning market can cause market price to fall. Because supply goes up, and production in volume decreases cost.

Anyway we're talking people here (for now; AI will change this and soon). The only way unit price goes down is if their own costs go down e.g. education loans drop or disappear.
Sacramento also has a municipal power company (SMUD). My friends there pay ~25% what I do with PG&E, $0.16/kwh vs $0.50/kwh.

I don't think there is scholarly consensus on whether ant behavior can/should be considered domestication, but, per [0]:

> The best-studied insect-associated domestication is that of the attine ants...and the majority cultivate parasol mushrooms in the Leucocoprineae [58]. The ants plant sessile fungal cultivars, manage growth conditions by regulating temperature and moisture and fertilizing the fungal gardens, protect their crop from other herbivores, parasites, and disease, and harvest the cultivated fungi for food [4,58]. This coevolved domestication system has turned ants into obligate fungivores, as experimental removal of the fungal crop results in reduced reproduction and increased mortality among ants [58]. For the fungi, the ants increase their fitness relative to the free-living state by increasing their proportion across generations, providing for geographic dispersal and protecting the fungi against parasites and pathogens [58]. In the higher attine ants, the fungal cultivars are obligate mutualists and cannot grow in a free-living state [58]. It should be noted that fungi may not be the only ant domesticates; some ants tend to hemipteran insects like aphids and treehoppers in a system reminiscent of human animal husbandry [4,10].

I would call this domestication, full stop.

In Germany someone is sueing Tesla over "phantom braking", and the judge ordered an idependent court-appointed expert to check. After 600 km of driving the car braked without reason, and the expert wrote in his report the situation was dangerous enough that he had to stop any further testing. This is now official record and can be referred to in other lawsuits. We'll see what happens...
Thanks for reporting. We are investigating this issue. Could you help submit an issue to our GitHub and provide a screenshot of the terminal (with pip show nexaai)? This could help us reproduce this issue faster. Much appreciated!
Did you do that by hand? I guessed you used the classic `pointfree` program, bit that gave

As far as I know it's not possible to get this functionality in Haskell even with clever instance magic, but I'd love to be proved wrong.
Yeah I think that would be useful and we'll get there!

For studies someone else pointed out https://austinhenley.com/pubs/Henley2014CHI_Patchworks.pdf
This paper is very enlightening, but I don’t think that an algorithms class should address these sorts of problems. When I went to school (15 years ago) We had a separate machine architecture class series that went over these sorts of practical concerns. We had labs where we would time memory accesses and test aliased variables and manually decompile simple functions.

In my humble opinion as a volunteer educator, algorithms are already very complicated and students being introduced to them don’t need to concern themselves with this stuff at the same time.
I’d rather wear 5th or 6th gen glasses than 2nd or 3rd gen cybernetics implants when those come. I’m going to be very late to that game, because getting hacked could have pretty dire consequences. You can just take the glasses off.
To be fair, modern university was originally sold on the idea of getting more people into university research labs where they could work to develop and take ownership of new capital. This is where the idea that you will make more money if you go to university comes from. As capital is a multiplier on labour, labour * capital = higher income over labour alone.

Of course, people don't listen and the vast majority just went and got jobs working for someone else's existing capital after spending a modicum of time in university classrooms, somehow thinking that is the same thing. As a result, the higher income and other promises never materialized. Incomes have held quite stagnant even as more and more people graduate from university.

I can see why educators are annoyed that the grand hope for a future paved with intensive capital creation ended up being just a bunch of dumb-dumbs who believe they need to tick a box. But it is still their bread and butter. Reality has to be faced.

But perhaps what they really are annoyed by is that they equally failed to create capital themselves, and thus try to sooth the pangs of failure with pretending "Oh, I was just here to become a better person!"?

My parents had a vacation home in Mexico for a while that they rented out (pre-AirBnB). But, being Mexico, they had on-site staff, my mother was retired, and the whole thing still seemed way more hassle than I would have had any interest in. (Building it was also pretty much a nightmare.)

I do use my brother's second home up in Maine and that works pretty well.
Not sure if this is relevant or not, but it might be worth adding that the little dipper is not visible from the southern hemisphere.
>AI was not tested to see if it is like a lawyer’s level of work. Why would anyone have to do this kind of study?

The service it purported to offer is licensed. We could sit around and talk shit about the threshold to be licensed, the bar association, or licensing in general. But that's all distraction.

The point is the legal system has implemented a quality standard for providing certain services. There is a new thing providing the same service in novel way. Why wouldn't the legal system expect proof of quality?
This is absolutely hilarious. I definitely remember cheering inside everytime the logo hit the corner.

I wonder how the AI/copyright arguments will play out in court.

"If I read your book and I have a photographic memory and can recall any paragraph do I need to pay you a licensing fee?"

I once met a man who told me he had killed his neighbor once. Here's the story:

His neighbor was a kleptomaniac. He constantly broke in and stole stuff from the man I was talking to.

The man I was talking to constantly reported it to the police, who said they could do nothing unless the man broke in.

The man I was talking to eventually caught the thief breaking in, at which point he held him at gunpoint until the police came and arrested the thief.

The man served his time in prison, eventually got out and went right back to his thieving ways.

The man I was talking to waited until the guy broke in, then shot him to death.

Problem solved, but what a stupid and roundabout way of solving it.
Yes. This saves you having to `git rebase -i` or `git rebase --autosquash` to get the fixup to be "absorbed" into the commit it is meant to fix up.
Specialization would not replace orphan rules though.
That's a little bit how the law works. If you get sentenced for a conviction, your good deeds will affect the decision. Sometimes people get off entirely based on who they are (e.g. athletes, execs, etc).
I can easily imagine people X decades from now discussing this stuff a bit like how we now view teeth-whitening radium toothpaste and putting asbestos in everything, or perhaps more like the abuse of Social Security numbers as authentication and redlining.

Not in any weirdly-self-aggrandizing "our tech is so powerful that robots will take over" sense, just the depressingly regular one of "lots of people getting hurt by a short-term profitable product/process which was actually quite flawed."

P.S.: For example, imagine having applications for jobs and loans rejected because all the companies' internal LLM tooling is secretly racist against subtle grammar-traces in your writing or social-media profile. [0]

At most, it just laid bare to see what were the normal social interactions and thoughts of millions of people and made possible far more viral spread of ideas. On the last one, I don't even think it's social media's fault, it's probably the whole internet at large, it's just these sorts of interactions happen most there.

This is no more nor less safe than `git rebase`.
"Agile" is not a methodology, it is a collection of techniques and methodologies which have similar characteristics. The people who signed the Agile Manifesto all had their own frameworks (including Scrum); they just were trying to find out what they had in common.

And everyone also seems to have this pie-in-the-sky view of the manifesto whereby nothing on the right exists or matters . . . that's not what that means. You still have processes and tools. You still have documentation. You still have contracts. You still follow a plan. You're just not handcuffed by these things unnecessarily or having them force you to do stupid things.

Reading the governor's letter it seems clear:

1. The witness who claimed Williams confessed provided non-publicly-available, but known-to-police, details about the case. This is very strong evidence that the confession was made to them.

2. The girlfriend's hesitation to go to police (she never asked for the reward money) is due to the fact that Williams threatened her family, which is a real threat considering his history of violence

3. The prosecution had several other witnesses that were not called to the stand to whom Williams told about the murder

4. Williams not only had Gayle's laptop, but had her husband's laptop and had sold it to someone. The police found the laptop and the owner identifier Williams as the seller.

5. Williams not only had her laptop but a bunch of household items. Tell me, when have you had several items from a murder victim in your car? Williams offers no explanation for where these came from.

Look... criminals are not the type to take responsibility for their actions. Williams criminal history and jailhouse violence indicate that this is not a man who learns from past mistakes, or who even think he needed reform of any kind.
