I've always seen conferences (and other business travel events like trade shows) as 90% social events, 10% learning/business events. They've always struck me as a way for extroverted employees to travel somewhere and goof around / party in a way that was justifiable as a "business expense." If they could go on a golf trip instead and be able to get it through the corporate expense report system, they'd do that instead.
How long would it take a computer or set of computers to pick random characters and generate the complete work

how long for 1 paragraph
how long for 1 page
how long for 1 chapter

Does it get harder/slower by a factor?

Might as well just move the whole company to India. The software industry will be consolidated there in 20yrs just like manufacturing went to China.

They will declare it a state of national security later down the road, when the companies all did this to save money and increase their salaries. Companies aren't people and they have no loyalty to the country they are in, despite what people try to push. It's business and profits come first always.

Apple sinks $1.1B into Globalstar's satellite network, takes ownership stake
Humans have an innate sense of fairness that isn't satisfied by "everyone played by the same rules, so wildly different outcomes are ok." Eventually resentment builds up and an extra-legal solution transpires.
> So... someone put out advertising for a parade and never got the permit? Why the front page?

Because there was no parade, and allegedly this "advert" was a result of AI-generated slop.
I had a toy as a kid that was somewhere between this Lectron system and the 75 in 1 Electronics kits that Radio Shack sold.

Components were on square blocks each (red plastic). Small clips would hold blocks edge to edge. Wiring was by means of, like the "75 in 1", spring terminals in the corners of the blocks — a small steel clip was inserted into the spring terminal — just the right length to bridge the gap between adjacent blocks.

Simple stuff as I recall: battery, light bulb, switch. If there was a transistor or two it went over my head at so young an age. I was at the "hook up battery to a bulb" stage of electronics learning.
I always get downvoted for this, but I much prefer Quora in my search results to Reddit for this reason. Although they've abandoned it now their earlier stringent sign-up process requiring that you are a real human means you're more likely to come across an answer with a real name and/or professional creds attached to it, and those answers imo tend to be higher quality. Of course there's all the copypasta spam (mostly) from India but that is easy to avoid since people use their real handles not anonymous sock puppets. Unfortunately they've decided to go down the route of promoting their AI chatbot in search results which for me has significantly degraded the results

I went to a new dentist when I was 18 because my other dentist was unavailable. He declares that I have two cavities and fills one, but doesn't use enough anesthetic. Given my bad exp with him I went back to my other dentist who's flabbergasted that there was supposedly a cavity on the other tooth. No sign of any decay.

These kind of experiences are why I try to vet a new dentist very hard before trusting them, even going so far as to getting a second opinion if the new one finds anything.
Could you try an argument that unicode is insecure compared to roll-your-own support for the necessary scripts? You may consider "necessary" to mean "the ones used in countries where at least two of Microsoft, Apple and Sun sold localised OSes".

They don't contradict each other, the contexts are different. Words have subtly different meanings according to what is being discussed. English is not a context-free language.
Looks like you found it, but "sponsors" refers to sponsored segments that are part of the video itself.

Implementing a Tiny CPU Rasterizer
You're comparing chalk and cheese to an extent, a perfect copy of Shakespeare's work can exist in exactly one way but DNA isn't required to be copied perfectly, DNA can change without necessarily killing the organism or otherwise rendering it unable to reproduce. Additionally evolution is not a random process, while mutations are random the process by which the mutations are selected is not - it depends on whether the mutation is a reproductive advantage for the organism in the context of their ecological niche. Most mutations are going to be neutral or disadvantageous so they won't be selected. Additionally you're not mutating the whole DNA sequence at once, just parts of it.
Why do devs beg for information about lay-offs. It's unbecoming.

Communicating these things ahead of time doesn't do any good for anyone. If you're concerned, start looking for other work.
I think that’s the bigger problem. The implementation was poor.

I think the fact that you feel that way shows how much our culture has lost its taboos around its traditional curse words.

I think maybe an easier example to consider would to be to put 'fuck' and 'shit' aside (since its even harder to understand how these were ever really taboo), and instead consider the older more religiously inspired curses like 'damn it', 'blood the mary', etc.

These curses (in certain circles) were hugely taboo because in the worldview of the times, they were deeply harmful to use on a metaphysical / spiritual level. You were doing real harm in the world by exclaiming "damn it to hell!" or telling someone "go to hell!".

This is perhaps hard for us in our current culture where even even amongst people who claim to be religious, almost everyone would just view those as empty words, but I do think there's a real case to be made that our ancestors would have understood such curses in a very similar way to the way we understand and treat slurs today.
Sure. But it's on by default, isn't it? Just like Apple's upload is on by default.

Also, chromebooks require such a sign-in as well, and I'll bet they enable that syncing by default as well.

Singling out Apple here is kinda silly when they're encrypted (if you don't trust Apple to tell the truth there, running their OS at all is risky), and when the behavior is that which we'd expect.

And at the end of the day, using Apple's password manager is mostly (exceptions including wifi passwords) optional.

Yes, well, from the article:

17. That's impressive.
> As an implementation, it's the slowest compiled language there

Are you talking about the Free Pascal implementation here?
The POSIX standard for regular expressions (which grep implemented half a century ago) doesn't support back references. Even I-Regexp (RFC 9485) doesn't support it.

This specification describes an interoperable regular expression (abbreviated as "regexp") flavor, I-Regexp.

I-Regexp does not provide advanced regular expression features such as capture groups, lookahead, or backreferences. It supports only a Boolean matching capability, i.e., testing whether a given regular expression matches a given piece of text.

It wasn't until '97 when PCRE was released to mimic Perl's handling of regex and some time after that that GNU grep added -P as an option (BSD doesn't appear to support PCRE).

While PCRE is a defacto standard (I been heard uttering "ugh, that only handles posix regex"), for most of the history of regex they were only as powerful as a NDFA.

Hi, I’m Greg. I’m a technical product manager and solutions engineer with experience working with APIs, SaaS, and IoT. I’ve written APIs and embedded firmware, managed technical and sales teams, been a technical cofounder, closed millions in pipeline, spoken at conferences, and more.

Most recently, I’ve worked at OpenAI (on the API), Twilio Segment, and a hardware/IoT business I founded, Restful.

I’m most interested in product management roles in the LLM or autonomous vehicle space, but I’d consider other exciting opportunities. I’d also be down to just chat or grab coffee if you’re working on something interesting. Thanks!

SEEKING WORK - Data scientist, remote worldwide, email in profile.

A colleague and I lost out on a large optimization project (network scheduling during cascading failures) with an airline and I'm now looking for work. I like no BS data science - ML, AI, and OR are my jam.

I love avant garde problems, and have a pretty unique toolset (LLMs+KB, OR+ML, etc). I've worked with names you know in tech, automotive, and other spaces.

I've worked on projects including large language models, knowledge extraction, and the usual ML stuff - failure prediction, translation, maintenance optimization, automated sports highlights, and more. I've also done some more interesting work including vehicle route planning in constrained environments.

My calendar is currently entirely clear until Christmas (Willing to take longer projects of course), so I'm willing to do what it takes to fill that up. Get in touch. Even if you're unsure, get in touch. Email in profile.
In my living memory, Google has never NOT been an ad-company. They started with one exceptionally good product - search - and monetized it very well via ads.

As the recent anti-trust lawsuits reveal, everything else Google has done since has been to leverage that dominance into other advertising businesses; specifically display ads and now video ads.

Snap Circuits were popular at that time.
I think GP is saying that GGP assumes "tone" is one direction, in the sense there exists a vector V representing "tone direction", and you can scale "tone" independently by multiplying that vector with a scalar - hence, 1 dimension.

I'd say this assumption is both right and wrong. Wrong, because it's unlikely there's a direction in embedding space corresponding to a platonic ideal of "tone". Right, because I suspect that, for sufficiently large embedding space (on the order of what goes into current LLMs), any continuous concept we can articulate will have a corresponding direction in the embedding space, that's roughly as sharp as our ability to precisely define the concept.
