> I agree that Go should really have an analogue to Rust's `?`, but you can't really do that in a sane way without sum types to represent your conditions. The very multiple-return style error propagation makes it impractical to do.

There was a proposal for a `try`, which I still think should have been adopted.

Under that proposal, `someComplicatedExpression(try(functionReturningError()))` would be converted to `foo, err := functionReturningError(); if err != nil{return zeroValue, zeroValue, err}; someComplicatedExpression(foo)`
Seems to hang on the prompt "actually checkers not chess".

I seem to get an error with "on a pink textured background". Sometimes it succeeds alongside the error, and sometimes gives me 1 piece.

You can get stuff that doesn't look at all like pieces with "fuckin bears man".
All this energy being burned to create shitty images, shitty music, and shitty videos that all amount to essentially shitty memes. I don’t understand how the singular focus isn’t on solving humanity’s problems.

It doesn’t technically detract from the overall point, but almost everything about airlines is wrong.

It’s incredibly difficult to start a new airline. Small and medium sized airlines are almost non existent. There is currently a pilot shortage. Most people stick with the same airline for the rewards.
How would you go about eating said stovetop hat?

Would you eat it raw or would you have to boil it down to soften it up and then drink/eat its hat soup?
It was taught in my middle school English class in the Bay Area in the 2000s, but they also utilized tracking.
The major airlines very much have brand loyalty via loyalty rewards programs, lounges, and cobranded credit cards.

If you are business traveler gaining status by flying a preferred airline and using other people’s money, you aren’t going to go to the cheapest airline.

Most of the profit from the Big three airlines come from business travel and credit cards
What state was this in? We can look up the predicates for that charge in the state, and then be talking more coherently about what might have happened here. Thanks!

I'm guessing North Dakota? That's 3 states away from Chicago on the only Amtrak route from there to Portland.

Were the charges federal? Did North Dakota (or whatever) police intercept him, or a DEA TFG?
Maybe I can try implementing it. Do you know any open-source models/frameworks out there for replacing background music? Can audio be logically represented as layers like that (foreground/background)?
check your memory and open conversations, see if you ever mentioned your location. It might also have knowledge of conversations deleted within the past 30 days, but I'm not 100% sure. Possibly the search engine used your IP to get location results, and then chatgpt gathered your city from there.
A long time ago, in a nearby galaxy, Broward Detective Vicki Cutcliffe grabbed my client's crotch in the Ft. Lauderdale airport, hoping to find crack, which she did. Judge Roettger was a frequent user of the airport and found this behavior unacceptable. He suppressed the evidence.

> But others said the admissions exam and additional application requirements are inherently unfair to students of color who face socioeconomic disadvantages. Elaine Waldman, whose daughter is enrolled in Reed’s IHP, said the test is “elitist and exclusionary,” and hoped dropping it would improve the diversity of the program.

Recognizing gifted students is inherently discriminatory. Because these are the numbers:

Average IQ [1]

- Ashkenazi Jews - 107-115

- East Asians - 110

- White Americans - 102

- Black Americans - 90

There are other numbers from other sources, but they all rank in that order. There's a huge amount of denial about this. There are more articles trying to explain this away than ones that report the results.

(Average US Black IQ has been rising over the last few decades, but the US definition of "Black" includes mixed race. That may be a consequence of intermarriage producing more brown people, causing reversion to the mean. IQ vs 23 and Me data would be interesting.
Does anyone collect that?)

Gladwell's new book, "The Revenge of The Tipping Point" goes into this at length. The Ivy League is struggling to avoid becoming majority-Asian. Caltech, which has no legacy admissions, is majority-Asian. So is UC Berkeley.[3]

Of course, this may become less significant once AI gets smarter and human intelligence becomes less necessary in bulk. Hiring criteria for railroads and manufacturing up to WWII favored physically robust men with moderate intelligence. Until technology really got rolling, the demand for smart people was lower than their prevalence in the population.

We may be headed back in that direction. Consider Uber, Doordash, Amazon, and fast food. Machines think and plan, most humans carry out the orders of the machines. A small number of humans direct.

Yes you will pay 2x the cost for your preferred airline when it’s not your money and you are getting reimbursed by your company.
Your son was me! Obviously he figured it out, for me, I hit a wall where I didn’t know how to study in college, so i struggled a bit and then figured it out. Looking back, I probably have some form of ADHD.

With my son, I focus on identifying opportunities to correct “bad” or suboptimal stuff. He’s usually getting marked down from being sloppy or rushing through stuff. He has 90s in core subjects, but ended up with an 80 in Health due to some shenanigans because of that phenomenon. It’s a good teaching opportunity.
This just calls out to the openai endpoint. It's not so much that "SORA was "leaked" but it's just access to SORA. Which I'm guessing will be cut off very soon. In other words, very little to see here.
I have no relation to anyone here, but:

Every time I've carried a large amount of money, it was essentially all of the money I had in the world.

If I had lost it [for any reason, including theft by civil forfeiture], I'd have been essentially broke and have nothing to fight with.

If I were additionally charged with crimes, I'd still be broke and still have nothing to fight with.

The money is just...gone.

---

Now, suppose a DA or prosecuter gives me a binary choice and I can select between the following options:

1. Be broke.

2. Be broke and in prison.

...then I think I'll cut my fucking losses and stick with option 1.
Reducing inflation always results in pain somewhere, pretty much by definition. Wage decreases, job demand reductions, taxes, higher interest rates, etc. Comes down to a decision about where you want to spread the pain and how, and how you weight that against "time to impact".

Unfortunately this compounds misunderstanding of the public because politicians can cause inflation, leave office, then come back to office after saddling the other person with the problem. Fighting inflation rarely results in popularity in the near term.
This is like Bitcoin.

It's objectively a very bad crypto. It's the prototype and everything it does there is a coin that does it 100x better now.

But man, Bitcoin, that name has serious influence and staying power. It's a testament to the power of branding and being the first mover.
What kind of platform are you talking about? Not pre-Elon Musk Twitter, I hope [1].

> We have, of course, discussed all this before, but now the Washington Post got its hands on a video recording of an internal Twitter meeting right before the January 6th attack on the Capitol, in which they discussed how to handle the growing calls for violence.

> Nothing in the video is surprising, as it all confirms what’s been said before, but it does provide more evidence. The video, and testimony from some people involved in this and related meetings, were part of why the January 6th Committee highlighted just how far Twitter staff bent over backwards to protect Trump and conservatives on the platform.

> And, it’s confirming what a former Twitter trust & safety employee testified under oath, about how when they saw a tweet by Donald Trump that clearly violated the site’s policies, the decision Twitter’s leadership made was to rewrite the rules to effectively exempt Trump’s tweet.

> That’s not even getting into the many studies, both internal and external to Twitter, that showed no evidence of anti-conservative bias in Twitter’s moderation policies. In fact, Twitter’s own research showed that it favored conservative tweets, with its algorithm promoting them more than non-conservative tweets.

I miss forums where people had personalities. Here, we’re all just talking to Hackernews because there are too many users for there to be individuals. On phpbb forums, you could bounce arguments back and forth and come up with a model of how a person thinks, so you’d be able to understand what biases people are bringing in to things.

There were big boards like Something Awful, which did have enough users to become non-distinct. But that site was intentionally stupid and the context-free discussion was part of the joke.

Now, all online chat is context free, and we’re all shallow and stupid everywhere.
> a straight-A student failed her organic chemistry class in Brown University

OChem is a weed-out class for pre-med students in every university.

CHEM 0350/0360 are notorious weed-outs at Brown.

> I guess my fundamental assumption is that when everyone maximizes their full potential, the outcome will naturally be different

At some point, it comes down to individuals. I've studied at Community Colleges, State Schools, and Ivies/Ivy Adjacent programs, and the curriculum is largely comparable.

Sure heads of state do occasionally come on campus at Harvard, but undergrads almost never attend those talks or opportunities - just like in any other university.

You can succeed or fail in any program, it just comes down to individual motivation.

> the vast middle who get hurt because they squander their time in school

The un-PC truth is this comes down to parenting. If parents don't help guide or motivate their kids, most kids will stagnate.

Teachers can only do so much.

If Farangi/Ang Mo parents cannot parent, that's on them.

Back in my Bay Area high school, it was the "American" parents that lobbied against APs and Honors classes, but Asian, Hispanic, and Eastern European students tended to be overrepresented in those classes.

--------

There's no point truly optimizing for "gifted" students - the truly gifted will be able to succeed in any environment.
> The Mississippi State Supreme Court ruled it illegal since ...

I'm thinking the same legal rationalizations could be used to rule that high school football programs are illegal. No advantage conferred on the students who fail to make the team, and no free college for those who don't end up with an athletic scholarship.
While the effects may be similar, they are fundamentally different mechanisms.

Also, this statement is incorrect:

> Simplified: the central bank decide on an interest rate that they want to see. By itself that decision doesn't do anything.

The Fed does in fact set interest rates and that decision directly impacts rates all down the line to mortgages and local loans. Intervening in the bond market is another tool that the Fed can use.
Yep, was kinda being sarcastic. IMO these sorts of posts are really valuable. They don't seem valuable when you're already familiar with the ideas and have read all the posts. But for people who are knew, they can really accelerate things.

The comment kinda reminded me of the forum comments that will answer questions with "just use Google" and another person replies "I found this thread with Google ;(".
Having masses of people using ChatGPT and not paying for it doesn't make for a successful business. The people who are willing to pay are more likely to be aware of the alternatives and choose the one best suited for their use.

For many school kids I think it's all just "AI", not "ChatGPT".
Of course. But it's a bit premature to say it's a good business and making money.

It may or may not become a good business.

Let's say Tesla does manage to launch a cheap Robotaxi, fully autonomous, next year ? (Of course they won't, they are decades away from that)

Uber would be pretty much dead, and all it would have done in it's lifetime is massive losses.
Not sure about that. If he took the money out of a bank, there are forms to be filed. If he received it from someone in a trade or business, there are forms to be filed. If he found it and was on the way to the bank to deposit it, there are forms to be filed.

The money didn't magically appear in his pockets.

If we were on less censored forums would just ask you to "post body". Since that's not considered a valid argument here instead i'll just gesture to the countless innovations that have been developed by humans that turn out to have massive negative health consequences. What gives you the confidence that our current food manufacturing techniques won't turn out to be one of those things? Would you have made this argument about cigarettes in the 20s?
The bridge only transforms images attached to events to new media proxy links.

If a bridged matrix user joins a channel, as IRC client I see the following information:

justJanne[m]!justjannem@Snoonet-han4h7.720l.ak1n.m0s0nj.IP (@justjanne:matrix.org)

With the mxid I can call /_matrix/client/r0/profile/{name}/avatar_url and get the mxc url.

mxc://matrix.org/uQMYcfRtSKFlYYBXLGhuIXzq

In the past that was enough, I could just call /_matrix/media/r0/download/.

With authenticated media, I would need to get a URL with a signed JWT from the bridge's media proxy such as

https://matrix.org/snoonet/media/v1/media/download/ARahZwUoMu0BcC8Di6Q3N3lpPAejecpE6OyRcKnsvw3n7pjmP7XVSXG8hYT99knbOtESJ9ODlzqLcdLy8Y2mPs9CeTshGEPwAG1hdHJpeC5vcmcvdVFNWWNmUnRTS0ZsWVlCWExHaHVJWHpx

But what endpoint would I call to get that? From what I can tell there's no way to get the bridge to give me a users' avatar.

I'd expect to have an special endpoint such as /snoonet/avatar/{mxid} that'd redirect me to the /snoonet/media/v1/media/download URL.
Your approach makes a lot of sense. Especially for "old school" websites with simple Server Side rendered pages, tables are a treasure of data. Wikipedia tables would be a great use of your tool too.

I was thinking more on the lines of programmatic access that `enforces` structured output. LLMs are really good at this step. Define a schema and get an output that is guaranteed to fit.

You can see some examples of what I mean here: https://query-rho.vercel.app/

This makes me think about attention span. Scenes in movies, sound bites, everything has been getting shorter over the decades. I know mine has gotten shorter, because I now watch highly edited and produced videos at 2x speed. Sometimes when I watch at 1x speed I find myself thinking "why does this person speak so slowly?"

Algorithmic content is likely to be even more densely packed with stimuli. At some point, will we find ourselves unable to attend to content produced by a human being because algorithmic content has wrecked our attention span?

I'm pretty sure humans have been finding ways to unproductively waste time for millenium...

I'm not sure how watching lightweight videos on subjects you're curious about is any worse than how people wasted time in the past?

Personally I waste time watching videos on outdoor gear, coffee making equipment and PC hardware. I certainy don't regret it because I had no plans to do anything productive with that time either.
> spending them on those who are unlikely to "pay it back"

If only. The school system is actually terrible at helping the most disadvantaged and marginalized students. These students would benefit the most from highly structured and directed instructional approaches that often have the pupils memorizing their "lesson" essentially word-for-word and getting prompt, immediate feedback on every question they answer[0] - but teachers who have come out from a proper Education department hate these approaches simply because they're regarded as "demeaning" for the job and unbecoming of a "professional" educator.

Mind you, these approaches are still quite valued in "Special" education, which is sort of regarded as a universe of its own. But obviously we would rather not have to label every student who happens to be merely disadvantaged or marginalized as "Special" as a requirement for them to get an education that fully engages them, especially when addressing their weakest points!

Modern "Progressive" education hurts both gifted and disadvantaged students for very similar reasons - but it actually hurts the latter a lot more.

[0] As an important point, the merit of this kind of education is by no means exclusive to disadvantaged students! In fact, even Abraham Lincoln was famously educated at a "blab school" (called that because the pupils would loudly "blab" their lesson back at the teacher) that was based on exactly that approach.

> You can also learn outside of school, too.

As someone who spent time in all three, I felt that my academic time was utterly wasted in public school. Sure, "learning outside" is always available, but that doesn't regain the time served in government mandated kid-prison.

> In my experience all that people talk about how private and homeschooling affects your ability to socialize with normal people is true.

In my experience, people are surprised that I spent 2/3 of my pre-college education in various forms of homeschooling. "You're so well-adjusted", is a frequent refrain.
The embargo caused the spike. Which makes having thrown away a workable peace deal a criminal act.

I wish stack overflow had something like a “verified on” timestamp, or tied answers to specific versions.

I agree, most of the answers I personally come across are out of date.
Note further that Section 8 of CCRF is one of the sections that are subject to the "notwithstanding clause" (Section 33), meaning that either the federal parliament or the provincial legislature can enact laws in direct contravention to it, so long as they expressly declare it in the text of the law. Such "notwithstanding" declarations have a 5-year term, but legislature can renew them indefinitely.

So, in practice, the most important parts of CCRF can be overridden by simple majority vote of the legislators.

No, because as you rightly point out we know exponential growth is very possible with Covid but we don't know if that will happen with AI.

In fact, the only evidence we have for exponential growth in AI is the word of the people selling it to us.

I'm considering something similar but I find it hard to figure out a good alternative, because they all seem "nice," have smart words on the website, cost about the same (which is not little), but when you look at matriculation stats it's not that impressive or visibly better than public schools. And then a bunch of them are weird religious schools which gives me the heebie jeebies. I guess you really have to be part of the "in" group and get recommendations from the other parents/grandparents/families and that's where the class divide is.

Yes, you'll get peaks where innovation takes everyone by surprise.

Then the salesbots will pivot, catch up, and ingest the innovation into the pitch machine as per usual.

So yes, there is genuine innovation and surprise. That's not what is being discussed. It's the hype that inevitably overwhelms the innovation, and also inevitably pollutes the pool with increasing noise. That's just human nature, trying to make a quick buck from the new-hotness.
