I think the value here is not in searching for SEO crap, but turning it on when you want to get references to the most current information relevant to your query.

For example, if you ask LLMs to build code using the three.js library, nearly all of them will reference version r128. Presumably because that version has the largest representation in the training data set. Now, you can turn this on and ask it to reference the latest version, and it will search the web and find r170 and the latest documentation to consider in it's response.

I was already doing this before by adding "search the web for the latest version first" in my prompts, now I can just click a button. That's useful.
That's the funny thing about it. People who are serious about cheating don't get caught and this Linux ban is all for naught.

The tech behind is quite fascinating actually. These days people use FPGA boards connected via PCIe to directly stream the memory contents to another PC. There is no cheating software on the gaming machine.

Disclaimer: I don't cheat, but these boards are the cheapest pcie fpga dev boards I could find.

According to the US Government, more than 32 million trips every year exceed 1,000 miles - and that's only during the "16-week period between Memorial Day weekend and Labor Day." 37 percent of those trips are by vehicle; so about 12 million 1000+ mile trips by car during those 16 weeks alone. That's not small.
Ford has also done a decent job of over-promising. I put a deposit on the Lightning the morning after their announcement. They originally priced it at $40k[0], and now their base model starts at $63k[1]. When the opportunity finally came up for me to buy one, the two lower trim levels were unavailable, and the best I could get was something like $75k, which was a hard pass for me.

The site is amusing, and sure it feels fairly obvious that it’s parody/satire in this context, but also I went through the FAQ and fine print and I don’t see any admission that it’s parody/satire. They seem to hold very true to the joke to the point that it does feel a bit worrying. At what point does parody/satire become misinformation and defamation? If my mom landed on this site after it was emailed to her from one of her Fox News-loving elderly friends, I’m not sure she would have enough context to realize it wasn’t real. It seems like it would be better if they at least had a disclaimer or notice or something on the bottom of the site.

On a related note, I hosted The Empire Strips Back parody Star Wars burlesque show at my theater, and they had to have disclaimers everywhere explicitly saying it was a parody production. They got sued and won in court but the disclaimers were an important part of that.

Of course if the main concern is the misuse of the DMCA to get this taken down by claiming copyright infringement, that’s clearly an abuse of the DMCA. But if the companies involved sued for defamation/slander/whatever, I think there’s at least a legitimate concern here.
I really wish they had done an analysis of finite Planck-scale monkeys.
Reverse Culture Shock: The Challenges of Returning Home
I wonder what went wrong there. The F-150 is objectively a very popular truck, right? So I’d expect the electric version to be very popular as well.

I’d love an electric truck, but I wouldn’t want one of these awful giant things with huge cabs and a tiny little bed. However, I don’t think this is the reason, my taste is apparently not very representative. I miss my grandpa’s truck though, single cab, bench seat, loads of garbage in the bed, let’s go to the dump. Simpler times.
Given how many of those SEO spam sites are themselves generated by ChatGPT now, OpenAI can simply back-reference their own logs to find out which sites are probably SEO spam while everyone else is left guessing. That's vertical integration!
I was looking into the EV F150 for the same reason, albeit not very deeply. What were the issues you saw?
+1 for carbon steel over cast iron. They heat much faster and my wife wife doesn't need my help to lift them.
The way I read it is that instead of trying to upgrade directly from 98 to XP, they went from 98 to 2000, and then to XP.
I played around with it a bit, here are some hot takes.

For context, I first tried this procession of searches on the Mac OS app.

1. "Who won the world series"
2. Who was the MVP?"
3. "Give me his bio"

My observations:

1. UX: The "search" button feels oddly placed, but I can't put my finger on it. But once I got it is a toggle, it wasn't a bit deal.

2. The first result had 3 logos, headlines and timestamps delineated, and easy to ready. The second one and third ones included a "Sources" button that opened a fly open menu. Clicking those opened a web link. The third result also included images in the fly open.

3. Citations were also inlined. The third result, for the bio, included a citation per paragraph.

4. It wasn't as fast as google. Which makes sense, given it's going through the LLM. But it will take a while to rewire my brain to expect slower responses to search.

5. Overall, I found the chat interface a very intuitive interface.

The second search I asked was "Give me a plan for a Thanksgiving meal."

I to a long response that felt like a weird mashup of LLM-generated content and search results:

1. A list of menu selections

2. Links to some recipes

3. Prepration timeline

4. Shopping list

5. Additional tips

There were 15 citations listed in the popup button, but only 3 inlined.

This was... not great. A traditional list of search results feels better here.

Overall, I like the direction. Innovation in search has been dead for close to 10 years, and this feels like I'd use it for certain inquiries.
American law generally favors freedom of expression.
The Model Y is the best-selling car in the world. The Cybertruck is outselling every non-Tesla EV including the Lightning (in the US, the only country where it is currently available).
I don't want ads. But I can't deny that ads are the only business model with a chance of scaling to compete with Google.

If that's what they want to do in this space, which is not a given.

Is Ford dying?

They went away from Brazil because their cars weren't competitive. Even in GeoGuessr if I see a Ford I know that I'm in USA, because is the only place where they are used. I do not follow the auto market, but I never hear news about this iconic brand.
Compared to BYD, Tesla is "legacy auto".
I think in this case the exception is Central Park, not the rest of the city. I've lived here three years and see cyclists blow through red lights every single day, it's more or less expected at this point. For better or worse, the police largely don't enforce traffic laws for bikers in NYC.
Im not logged into GPT (am subscribed for this month tho on my iPhone but that's separate) and able to do a web search and or ask GPT a question.

Actually i am logged into my iCloud on my macbook so guess that's why im seeing the search on that device of mine (not seeing on another where Im not logged into iCloud).
No but once ChatGPT starts threatening Google's revenue model, maybe they will start putting effort into improving their drastically deteriorating search engine.
I wonder how long until it will offer reverse image search, too.

I disagree, men in computer science are uniquely awkward, unaware, and often rude. I say this as a man in software. It's hard to have a conversation about the weather that doesn't end with me being a bit frustrated. A lot of these guys really don't know how to speak to women, or how to speak in general in a welcoming, calm, non-offensive way.

Maybe it's just the company I'm at but be aware this was also the case in college. It was hard to make friends when it seemed everyone was cosplaying an anime character while simultaneously bragging and trying to make me feel bad for my achievements, or lack thereof.
The whole reason I stopped playing competitive online games was due to cheaters. The keyword is competitive. At least for me, I was always striving to get better and to move up the ranks. When you're consistently coming across teams that have one or more cheaters in them, the whole match becomes pointless. If that happens enough times, you lose the drive to participate anymore.

For non-competitive games, that drive generally isn't there, so it probably matters a lot less.
> That said, cheating is an existential threat to a good game experience online

I never understood this.

As I mentioned in another thread, maybe I’m just old or something now, but I’ve never given a fuck if another player was cheating.

Back in the day it was pretty normal to run into someone using aimbot or wall hack or whatever shit.

You would just change server or join a different lobby or whatever if it was really bothering your enjoyment.
Those are long hauls, but in Illinois it’s pretty common to drive to places like Nashville or Atlanta. We drive to Orlando so that we don’t have to deal with flying. That’s a long one but not bad. An EV would add a lot of time and risk.
Logic Henry Ford would recognize.
Ooh.

This makes me very much want to tinker with DosBox myself.

Qemu can IIRC do similar things with drivers but possibly because it was co-opted to run android emulator imgs (which are all very standard and boring), it seemed difficult to tinker with custom drivers and emulated hardware.

The above could just be my own inexperience talking, but examples are one of the best ways to learn, if DosBox-X takes extra care that's noteworthy at least.
Tesla is flat over the last few years

You are looking at a chart that only has one full year on it. 2023 has good growth over 2022. 2024 may end up being flat, but every year prior has seen growth.

Is there a relationship between algebraic polynomial encoding of sequences, and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6del_numbering_for_seque... ?

Does an encoding of a sequence in a given Gödel numbering, also somehow "retrievably" encode the probability space of the sequence's terms?
Yeah this was always step 1 to negotiations as I learned it. The goal was always to try and schedule interviews so you could land multiple offers at one time. If you have 2-3 offers and an existing job your position is insanely strong.

If you are unemployed and this is your first offer in 3 months you cant really negotiate... just take it if it is a reasonable offer.
Software engineer salaries and stock compensation can be enough to shift alignment somewhat, especially after many years of capital accumulation.

Yes, familymoviedb.com. It's a side project. Have not had any copyright complaints so far. The question at hand here is completely unrelated...

Essentially just looking to have my own VPN and not have to rely on a VPN-as-a-service (e.g. ExpressVPN, SurfSharkVPN, Mullvad, etc, etc).

Thanks for the recommendations! I've added them to my list of considerations...
Funny how two people can look at the same chart and see exactly what they want.

One person sees a roughly flat multi-year sales chart (true) and another sees significant growth in the last quarter (true) and somehow they arrive at opposite conclusions.
Same story for me. I'd programmed in python for a while, but I first learned web development from Steve Huffman's little udacity course on how they built reddit (I know I say it every time I run into you at events, but thanks again for that Steve).

Anyway, I distinctly remember that that course was the first time I'd ever seen Monokai, and I immediately was obsessed with what that color scheme was, and that it was the most interesting color scheme I'd ever seen. I immediately downloaded Sublime Text and have been using it ever since. I know it shouldn't matter, but having a visually pleasing color scheme just takes the edge off when I'm on hour four of trying to solve some dumb bug.
Can you tell me a bit more ? What do you mean by search session ?
One of the primary reasons for using DosBox vs virtualization, at least for actual DOS software, is that lots of old DOS games and apps are designed to run on a specific x86 chip and clock speed.

The classic example is the earlier Wing Commander games - run them on anything faster than the period correct 286/386 CPUs that were out at the time of release, the games timing/speed gets severely messed up. DosBox has nice features to let you control the CPU speed to try and make these games work again.

Software such as Wing Commander were never tested/designed originally to run on faster CPUs that didn't exist back then and software timing can sometimes only be correct on very specific chips and clockspeeds.

Here with XP, its just cool - not a practical or performant choice.

> How often do Americans go on road trips from Minnesota to California, or from California to New York, or from Minnesota to Mexico, or from Montana to Florida?

Rarely. Certainly not multiple times a year on average.

Perhaps the demographic buying F150 sized trucks is different, but it's definitely not the norm to be making multi-day long road trips multiple times per year. Most folks don't even have that much vacation time to burn - and if they do - they likely are working office style jobs where flights are going to be an affordable expense.

It would be interesting to see stats on this though. I do agree people tend to buy for the maximum not the average. But I've found people - at least in my circle - grossly overestimate how common the maximum is.

Midwest to Midwest road trips are common. Midwest to the coasts tend to be rare, but that's all anecdote we can fight about. Once you get beyond about 16 hours I think the curve starts to flatten quite a bit.
There's no contract to be in breach of.

What's likely to happen is SLAPP-esque legislation to stop platforms utilising its user base as its product, whilst simultaneously disenfranchising them from the moderation layer.
It's just one more thing I have to consider. Even if I only take 3-4 500 mile trips per year, I don't EVER have to think, well jeez we'll need to stop 3 times for 30-45 minutes in specific places to charge up. We might also have to wait in line if it's a busy weekend/holiday. When I can easily do 450 miles on 1 charge and the price of the vehicle is comparable, then it's at least worth considering. The closest thing to that right now in the F-150's class is the Chevrolet Silverado RST. But it's "only" $93,000. Thanks, I'll keep my gasoline F-150 for now.
So the issue is if you let people opt out by paying you’re left with a low intent, likely lower net worth group of people to advertise to. As a result those eyeballs are worth less. The advertisers will turn to other platforms if you only let the worst people see their ads.

Unless enough people all pay, the whole thing stops working. But there aren’t enough people who will pay because most people don’t care.

Tldr: the ad supported business model fundamentally doesn’t work if you let all your best products (you) opt out by paying. It requires them to pay an amount far in excess of what they would be willing to pay for the system to work.
It's obscenely expensive. That's the reason. The body style is wildly popular and the torque it produces would be a god send.

But they CRAZY expensive.

I always struggled with Apex Legends on Linux. It didn't pre-load shaders, which led to a very jittery experience for the first round or two. Even after that you still get jitters here and there when it needs to load something new. It wasn't worth doing every time there was a new update.

Thanks, I'll have a look. It's quite interesting, even if it's not very technical, since recently I started thinking about building a book trade or selling network for close friends and their friends (invitation based).

A solid choice, I think.

Do you use something like openlibrary.org as well?

Maybe he was reading in X! :-)

It is a joke, but one that makes me nervous.
I kinda feel the same way.. I imagine games not having community servers and focusing heavily on rank/seasons etc makes it feel a lot more serious? Idk I used to find community on dedicated servers, it was part of the game, with in game text/voice chat, now the community exists entirely outside of it in discords etc.
this is why I pay for Kagi. granted those results still come up, but you can block specific domains from ever appearing in the results and configure how listicles are displayed.

Mikrotik loves to use CPUs to do an ASIC's job.
Games with ranked systems will always be cheated. If you play competitively and attain a sufficiently high rank, you will encounter cheaters inevitably. If cheating hits a certain threshold (or even the perception of cheating), the system collapses because people won't compete in a system they perceive as unfair. It isn't a matter of just changing servers when there are consequences for winning/losing. Even worse, many competitive games offer specific, tangible rewards such as items/skins/etc. for winning, which heavily incentivizes cheaters even further. I have definitely stopped playing games completely because of cheating issues - one dumb one particularly for me are m/kb players on playstation FPS games, which is trivial to stop and detect, but they won't do it. I'd vastly prefer something invasive on my playstation to prevent that experience than the alternative, which is to just not play.
How the Occult Gave Birth to Science
Maybe I'm just getting old, but Windows XP was the last version of Windows where usability and UI consistency seemed to be central to the design.

The menu bar was in the same place in every application. Short-cuts were consistent between apps. I didn't have to contend with four different version of the file browser to open a file, or "Show more options" on right-click to get a non-idiot-proof context menu. Icons were high contrast, there were text descriptions and tools tips (instead of cryptic grey-on-grey icons), short-cut combinations were actually included in the menus, and almost every application had a help file!

Can we go back to that, please?
The processes are deliberately complex so that most people will just give up. Then YouTube doesn't even have to consider the claim.

Anyone else getting "Application Error?"
Aside from the marketing-ish tone and specific deeplinks to product purchase pages, the prominent Amazon logo and product description headline implied some degree of affiliation to my eyes. It seems like the evidence is that it would be foolish not to take the money for presenting such an obvious referral of a motivated buyer.

Frankly the example they posted seems like a fairly happy one, where the user is explicitly implying that they’re seeking a specific physical product to introduce to their life. We’ve all seen where those monetization incentives lead over time though.

But you’re right—not even so much as a tiny word “Ad” like Google does…

Soviet vs NATO. The Soviet management style is micromanaging exactly how to do everything from the rear. The NATO style is delegating to the front line ranks.

Only in the same totemistic, cargo-cult quality that GDPR has for basic data operations tangential to PII.

In short, without explicit punitive penalties enshrined in the legislation itself, you will never be able to stop Corporations wielding consumer-facing legislation in an asymmetric and bad faith manner. This is as true of GDPR and AML/KYC legislation as it is of DMCA and similar abuses of copyright and IP laws by lobbyists.
Maybe Ford need to sell a cut-down version with a smaller battery alongside it. I thought the idea of powering work tools from the Lightning was good but I guess it may not match how people work.

He build three and used the last and best to do his observations.
