Why focus on just student/professor-written blogs? In that field especially a ton of extremely knowledgeable and experienced people don't have degrees.

Regardless, here's a (no longer existant, unfortunately) blog by a then-master's student that has some real gems: https://web.archive.org/web/20220815052151/https://owlspace....

I especially loved the Steam login blogs.

Shameless plug: as it is hard to switch search engines as "googling" is nearly hardcoded into our fingertips and I wanted to move away to chatgpt search - I coded https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/comparative-chatgpt...

basically: 1 Search from the Adressbar in Chrome triggers three searches: ChatGPT Search, Google and Perplexity.ai

after install you can configure the behaviour under search.franzai.com to any order or search engines you like

the tos can be found here search.franzai.com/tos.html as due to extension restrictions for setting the default search engine the first request goes through search.franzai.com
I was afraid that I'll lose track too because I don't pay much attention to what day it is, but it turned out to be easy. The days that I can eat in the morning feel very different from those that I can't. But if it doesn't work for you you can eat in the morning on even dates and in the evening on the odd ones. A skip on month change is going to be insignificant and will result in shortening of a single fasting window per month at most.

By the way, if you are close to your healthy weight when doing this aim to reduce your weight so that your BMI is between 22.5 and 25. This is the area of lowest mortality. There's no point to go lower.

Once you get there you can either abandon alternating, shorten fasting window or just lessen restrictions on fasting periods like allowing eating certain type of foods, like raw vegetables or fruits or nuts so that your weight is maintained.
It's hilariously wrong at times, but the problem is when people take what an LLM model spits out as fact.

Just an example was in a mild debate I was having regarding cars, the other person posed a question about how fast a Golf Type R could get in a specific distance and Chat GPT spat out a number that the other person accepted as fact, but I already knew it was too high.

What ChatGPT done was taken the posted 0 to 60 time and extrapolated a linear distance vs velocity formula. Which was impressive granted, but wrong; velocity over distance is logarithmic at best.

It's a great tool, but I think a lot of people are just taking what it spits out without slowing down to question if the output makes sense or not.

How? It just got way more invested into OOP... It's now much harder to understand my code at a glance. The Java feeling isn't because I have to write a lot of code, it's how the code works.

Reverse tunnel SSH was used for remote management. Once we replaced it with MQTT, we realized we could use it for IPC, too. I was not too clear about this in the post above.

Before MQTT we used whatever we had at hand; the touchscreen frontend (that ran Qt, not an embedded browser) talked to the local backend with HTTP. SMS messages were first sent to another local HTTP gateway and then via UNIX shm to a master process that templated the message to the smstools3 spool directory. A customer-facing remote management GUI ran on the device's built-in HTTP server but I no longer remember how it interfaced with the rest of the system. The touchscreen GUI might actually have had its own HTTP server for that, because it also handled Modbus communication to external I/O.

This was back in the day when everyone was building their own IoT platforms and obviously we were required to dogfood our own product, trying to make it do things it was never meant for. The gateway was originally designed to be an easy solution for AV integrators to remotely manage whole campuses from a single GUI. I'm pretty sure no customer ever wrote a line of code on the platform.
There’s nothing wrong with single income families, as that has been the default setting for all of our history. I’m inclined to believe that is a solution for some problem that we don’t remember.

By the way, love how you addressed us as “straight men”, flushing down the toilet any interest we had in taking you seriously.

Alternative clients do exist but OWS has a history of taking them down and/or making protocol changes to block them, similar to AIM back in the original days of Pidgin.
Your example is half right, I had misread the documentation of errors.As [0].

errors.As does work as you describe, but errors.Is doesn't: that only compares the error argument for equality, unless it implements Is() itself to do something different. So `var e error ErrType{Code: 1, Message: "Good"} = errors.Is(e, ErrType{})` will return false. But indeed Errors.As will work for this case and allow you to check if an error is an instance of ErrType.

I don’t work on the frontend very often, I think the last time I did so was when bootstrap was “the tailwind”, but when I recently had to cover for one of our react developers I got to work with it. I genuinely didn’t think there was a difference in my work flow between the two. Looking up meta language magic in the official documentation and then using it through brute-force development. Maybe I’m missing something, more likely I’m just a terrible frontend developer.

The latter is true either way. These days I’ll use HTMX and let a LLM do the CSS. Unless I specifically have to work on something which faces customers. So I’m wondering if there is some trick to tailwind I’m missing?
That's fair, and an outside view is usually a good idea.

But I also have a general rule that you should never judge a whole group of people as inherently evil or immoral, without attempting to understand them on their own terms, see them as they see themselves. Very rarely, if ever, are large groups of people immoral or evil. (Though societies themselves can certainly immoral collectively.)

And Israel is a Western society, mostly. Its values are largely the same values as the US or Europe. If people with those values self-reflect and decide they are not acting immorally on the whole, then it's worth at least considering that they might just have more knowledge and context about what's happening than outsiders.
Nothing unfortunate about having a birthday today.

Patent-trolls are anticompetitive moats- as in you like to have them around as a large organization, as they attack the small companies and competition first. Not every critter out there needs to be a controlled and pupeteered agent- its good enough, they do damage to what could damage you out of their own free will and motives.
LLMs can _play chess_. With the game positions previously unseen. How’s that not actual logical reasoning?
Again, I'm not american but I'm well aware of the silly stuff you are being fed to by influencers selling male victimhood content. Stop listening to that crap. Your downvotes will not change anything.

As someone else said, the only problem is the lack of real positive role models (people who build, have ethic and do something useful with their lives), that have been replaced by pathetic characters like JP and other nobodies that only sell victimhood or get rick quick fantasies on the internet.
This is probably related to cynicism (but also maybe wisdom from a life that at times was not easy) I've developed over the years, but I can't help but get seriously dystopian vibes from your post. More than the usual boosters, because it seems to be a little more honest and a little less cognizant of what I think the real moral hangups are that people tend to have with AI. So you seem genuine in some sense in a way many others aren't.

I don't for one second really suspect it will be the case (not for the usual technical criticisms although I'm skeptical there as well, but more that I don't think it would be socially sustainable for an extended period of time)...but let's for a moment take your last paragraph at face value and in good faith.

I mean...what exactly is it that you are advocating for or accepting? Even if we get some kind of very generous UBI, there's something about human nature that makes me suspect the consequences of this would be an almost guaranteed miserable existence for pretty much everyone.

Even in the best case scenario, where the results of this transformation are kept under control and distributed in a reasonable manner and the whole thing doesn't cause a social and political meltdown...what is everybody going to do? There's some amount of wisdom in the old saying that "idle hands are the devil's plaything".

Thats the real issue I am the most concerned about and that seems to be the least often addressed by big AI boosters and detractors (I realize both of these camps often have ulterior motives). I suspect many are feeling some amount of concern like that...why is this (I would argue most fundamental) question about the impact of AI never talked about?

I don't want to hear anything about some big terminator style fight against AI or about how wonderful and unpredictable the inevitable future of WALL-E style luxury gay space communism is going to be...none of those discussion points get to the heart of what makes many people so uncomfortable with the concept...and I think the people believing in some version of that second scenario being at all socially plausible is what gives me the most pause. It makes the terminator scenario almost seem like a preferred outcome if we were given a binary choice...in reality I think most would prefer neither and would agree with me in saying that we aren't even discussing the right issues w.r.t an "AI gets much better" potential future.

I'm a bit confused. Maybe i did not pay enough attention but... Does it stop the first simulation when there are _any_ 2 people with a same birthday, or when someone has _my_ birthday? I think the latter will take more people on average.
You are being extremely optimistic with that number. I would put it around 80-85%.

Google search usage is not going to drop 50% just because it's not the default.
I love that the Go project takes compatibility so seriously. And I think taking Hyrum's Law into account is necessary, if what you're serious about is compatibility itself.

Being serious about compatibility allows the concept of a piece of software being finished. If I finished writing a book twelve years ago, you could still read it today. But if I finished writing a piece of software twelve years ago, could you still build and run it today? Without having to fix anything? Without having to fix lots of things?

> Sure, but now that there's a "correct" way to do this, you don't get to complain that the hacky thing you did needs to keep being supported.

But that's the whole point and beauty of Go's compatibility promise. Once you finish getting something working, you finished getting it working. It works.

What I don't want, is for my programming platform to suddenly say that the way I got the thing working is no longer supported. I am no longer finished getting it working. I will never be finished getting it working.

Go is proving that a world with permanently working software is possible (vs a world with software that breaks over time).

It helps there are automated tools for converting old style K&R function declarations to the new ANSI/ISO style, like protoize.

But K&R C is now so dated, protoize was removed from GCC 4.5 and onwards. When (in a bout of idiosyncrasy) I wanted to convert some ancient K&R C to new style a couple of years back, I ended up putting GCC 4.4 in a Docker container to make it easier: https://github.com/skissane/protoize
Yes, it's also extremely unlikely.

The actual distribution in developed countries is not uniform: there is a spike at the end of September (because many more people make babies at or around New Year's Eve) and a considerable drop on Dec. 25th (because people will avoid that date and provoque the birth some days before in case it might happen).

Also, on the site there is a huge spike on Nov. 15 which, incidentally, is the birthday of the author: maybe they tested it many times?
Brave Search has an AI chat too and I think Brave collects less data than Bing does.

In the mid-90s, I decided to _not_ pick AI as a major because we had just gone through the original AI winter and most academic research on the topic was getting defunded in favor of high-speed networking and video conferencing.

To this day, and even though I am deeply involved with AI, I do not regret that decision—but I am constantly reminded that the expectations practitioners have are _way_ off what most people will actually want.
> Good luck with little everchanging regulation hell all banks are continuously exposed to, it keeps hefty dedicated departments alive

Isn't it the whole game? New regulations try to prevent banks from abusing, and in return banks try to abuse the new regulations?

> ... replacing letters with email ...

Some true, but not totally. The role of email has many differences from old-age letters.
And letters are not only replaced with email, but also more modern communication manners.
And the more modern communication manners not only replace letters, but telephone etc.

And the letter case is specified case. There are many old-age things which are not replaced totally.

The same is for AI. It will replace something, but not all.

It's still unreliable because humans are but a human lying or saying incorrect things is different from an AI confidently doing it.

This is not totally my experience, I've debated a successful engineer who by all accounts has good reasoning skills, but he will absolutely double down on unreasonable ideas he's made on the fly he if can find what he considers a coherent argument behind them. Sometimes if I absolutely can prove him wrong he'll change his mind.

But I think this is ego getting in the way, and our reluctance to change our minds.

We like to point to artificial intelligence and explain how it works differently and then say therefore it's not "true reasoning". I'm not sure that's a good conclusion. We should look at the output and decide. As flawed as it is, I think it's rather impressive

Patent trolls and big pharma. The bill would make it harder to challenge shitty parents and to make generic drugs.

As a small software company owner who fought off a patent troll who claimed to have patented the idea of showing related content to a reader, I can confidently say patent trolls are parasites that deserve everything the courts have heaped on them in the last 10 years.

Amazon has no right to do this - it no longer owns the S3 standard and should respect the ecosystem and community.

S3 has stagnated for a long time, allowing it to become a standard.

Third parties have cloned the storage service and a vast array of software is compatible. There’s drivers, there’s file transfer programs and utilities.

What does it mean that Amazon is now changing it.

Does Amazon even really own the standard any more, does it have the right to break the long standing standards?

I’m reminded of IBM when they broke compatibility of the PS/2 computers just so it could maintain dominance.
From the article:

I was talking about curiosity in general not curiosity about something in particular. We are naturally inquisitive to the point we have to be restrained by our parents. The problem is some of the restraints are based on the fears of our parents and not on actual dangers. Also, it's hard to develop an appreciation for something when it's forced fed to you.
> It's now much harder to understand my code at a glance.

Why? Property hooks aren't mandatory.
If you want to keep using explicit getter/setter methods, you can do that.
If you want to keep using implicit getter/setter hooks via __get/__set, you can do that.
If you want to keep using plain property access, you can do that.

All this does, is allow features that previously relied on the black box of __get/__set to be exposed as real properties. This massively improves the scenario for anything that works via reflection, and makes a whole suite of bugs related to unintended behaviour, simply impossible.
Given how personal browsing history can be this is a great use case for local LLMs. I would love for Mozilla to deliver on this.

Stocisim is actually the only part of the toxic blend that has real merit. Although it encourages disregarding one's emotions and feelings and people who practice classic stoicism were found to be detached from reality more often, uncertain about their relationships and likely to develop mental health issues.

The mix is toxic, but it had to be at least a little paletable.

Stoicism has critiques but that wasn't what I wanted to say, just that his way of thinking would lead to most men being deeply dissatisfied with their lived.

A lot of what he says goes directly against the protections of your mental comfort afforded by a stoicism mindset.
Reporting on this conflict has had examples of taking statements out of context and mistranslating Hebrew and Arabic.

I disagree that there is no point in finding an actual statement made by Netanyahu if people are accusing him of making that statement.

Which specific incentives in the martyr's fund encourage targeting civilians?
Probably need government support to bootstrap all that.
Bootstrap is so much worse because of all the nested CSS styles. One of the big benefits of utility classes is that they’re relatively isolated to one element (with a few exceptions like tailwind’s group classes). This has a lot of benefits like eliminating spooky action at a distance and making elements so independent they can just be copy pasted between Tailwind projects.

If you’re brute forcing Tailwind then you need to study CSS fundamentals. The vast majority of its utility classes are essentially 1:1 translations of CSS properties with some syntax sugar and DX improvements. Translating them to custom classes is a mechanical process even without @apply. There are even browser extensions like Windy that can rip HTML elements with arbitrary CSS to Tailwind classes.
