I realize this website has operated more or less the same for a long time. But as it becomes increasingly popular it's going to become a bigger target for abuse by people wanting to push a narrative. I'm just commenting on why it's been more frustrating for me lately than it has in the past.

There is no correct answer to this problem. I'm just critiquing it in its current form and explaining why, to me (and many other people who have complained about it recently), it's getting worse.
> yet tolerate the middle eastern institute of Columbia university

Oh good god.

> I mean, I hate Trump, but if you want to deny authoritarians' influence, this action by Trump is not the biggest problem at Columbia university.

What specific policies changed at Columbia as a result of these supposed donations? The article points to several that changed solely because University leadership is craven.

> Btw: clearly the demonstrators weren't nearly as popular as they claimed to be: I got applause for doing that.

Is this entire comment just a bad meme?
I am not a fan of what's being done to the Department of Education, but the linked article states nothing about anyone's payments increasing 4x. Also, the 41% is in reference to the default rate in the 1980s when for-profit colleges abused the student loan system. The new policies will likely allow for the same abuse that we saw then due to lack of oversight and an understaffed review system.
Oh wow this looks interesting! Going to try this out this week
command-f "license" :-(

I do see <https://github.com/thepartly/gatehouse/blob/v0.1.2/Cargo.tom...> but my experience with package manager license declaration is that it is almost always "yeah, yeah, default, whatever" versus an explicit choice. They are also invisible to the GitHub license widget, which places the burden upon the user to go spelunking around in the code to know for sure
With an intermediate stage of “Vulgar Latin” of which little trace remains because it was predominantly a spoken language. Literate people, even if they might use Vulgar Latin themselves in conversation, generally chose to write in the more formal classical style. As I recall, most of what we have from Vulgar Latin is in the form of graffiti and other informal writing.
I sooooo want to return our Ninja Creami Deluxe, recently purchased at Costco. If it sits for ~ an hour or more after use then it cannot be turned on again until unplugged and plugged back in to the wall. From Googling, it seems that Ninja started out doing warranty replacements for the issue but now have shifted to "its a safety feature".

I know it would be super easy to return or exchange at Costco. But my spouse likes it, I am pretty certain that any replacement unit is going to have the exact same issue, and it was a pretty good price.

I'm sorry for being a bad consumer!
Yes, I have.

I don't know how old you are, but I know how old I am, and something I have learned at great cost is that the most precious thing you have is your time. Generally, if you have to ask whether you should take steps or make sacrifices to protect your time (or, almost equivalently, your future opportunities), you already know the answer.

The only problem I have with lua is 1-based indexing. I know it's addressed in the article, but I'm firmly with Dijkstra on this one. The article argues that "this is how humans think", but humans are, as a rule, incredibly imprecise
Yeah making it a focal point of identity seems to be very popular online and I find it extremely offputting. For myself, medication helped little if at all and sometimes made me feel worse. Although I do notice a difference in my ability to focus with good diet and exercise, the biggest positive changes come from better sleep habits and nearly eliminating unnecessary tech use. ADHD is a dopamine disorder and our smartphones are little slot machines.
3.3 people per thousand is pretty common for something that isn't meant to exist at all.
I could meet 1000 people and, due to the ostensibly advanced & cultured world we live in, I would be confident none of them should be slaves.

Being so inflexible with the definition is not the same as being honest. Astrophysicists and statisticians often use the word 'common' to refer to vanishingly small numbers, and us uneducated laypeople are usually just fine with that.
Is there any other confirmation of the assumptions, other than the LLM behaviour, because that still feels like circular reasoning.

I think a similar claim could be levelled against other benchmarks or LLM evaluation tasks. One could say that the Turing test was designed to assess human intelligence, and LLMs pass it, therefore LLMs have human intelligence. This is generally considered to be false now, because we can plainly see that LLMs do not have intelligence in the same way as humans (yet? debatable, not the point), and instead we concluded that the Turing test was not the right benchmark. That's not to diminish its importance, it was hugely important as a part of AI education and possibly even AI development for decades.

ARC does seem to be pushing the boundaries, I'm just not convinced that it's testing a provable step change.

Because I get to talk to people that actually understand technical discussions.

You came into the thread with no understanding, then some time later decided to play word games.

I don't think the idea is so much that API users understand its purpose so much as that repository hosts like Github can scan for it automatically. We don't use secret-token, but we do use a very identifiable fixed constant string prepended to our tokens, for similar reasons.
the us was settled in the very recent past by people largely from a small number of places. there's a cultural and linguistic homogeneity that does not exist in other large countries. texas and california are close to as different as it gets for US states and yet people from either state will have essentially no problem understanding what each other says at home, they'll eat food that is pretty similar if not the same, etc.

compare that to spain and hungary, for the europe example. or tamil nadu and punjab in india. the right comparison for china isnt shandong and shanghai, it's like shanghai and guizhou or something. i promise you the cultural, culinary, and linguistic differences between shanghai and guizhou are WAY bigger than between texas and california. thats the point being made
I can almost guarantee that I will now start seeing references to this in dishwasher recommendation threads on forums and Reddit now. And it won't be me doing all of it, I swear! :)
This is hilarious, especially if it's unintentional.
The critical thing here is your shareholder agreement contract. What is in it? What are the rules about founders leaving?

It's kind of pointless for anyone to say anything without knowing what's in your contract.

Do YOU know what is in your shareholders agreement, what to expect legally- have you read it? If you don't then you're likely in a world of problems.

If you do not have a shareholders agreement that clearly sets out how to handle founder breakup situation then you might consider calling a lawyer as your next step and go watch The Social Network movie.
Only you can really answer this. One thing I know, you won’t regret trusting your gut and sticking to your principles, even if they’re the “wrong” choice.
There were shifts in the meaning of words as well as shifts in some grammatical structures. English has seen similar shifts in meaning, e.g., villain originally meant a person from a village.

Is this just an american thing/model?

I have a Bosch Series 6 dishwasher here in Australia. It has physical buttons for all the stuff he mentions - Machine Care (self-cleaning), HalfLoad, Eco, and Delay start.

I did connect it to wifi which allows me to ... do the same stuff from their app. It's next to useless in my use pattern of "load the dishwasher, run the dishwasher". Literally all it adds is the ability to more easily set the machine to run later, which I don't care about.

I love Bosch stuff and will continue to buy it, certainly their series 6 and 8 stuff that's made in Germany - great quality and reliable IMHO.

Honestly it seems like there's just been a poor design decision here, to export the full set of controls to an app rather than on the machine, rather than some sort of fundamental sin. It certainly raises questions of what happens if/when they drop support, but another poster below mentions that the app works locally after initial cloud setup. Maybe just avoid this model...
>if men got periods, there would be 30 alternatives to midol by the end of the month

Not trying to get political or anything, but seems women make up like 40-50% of the biotech and pharmaceutical sciences jobs from my quick search. It seems like there are plenty of people making drugs that know what periods feel like.
If only a person were to do some math and realize that spending four hours installing a dishwasher is less time than doing dishes by hand for a month. (and dealing with 50% odds of getting a terrible install by grumpy people who ding up stuff in your kitchen)
Unless you can start acting on a working plan to rescue it you should get out.

Do it now before things get worse between the two of you. Make sure to get good lawyers and get cash or cash equivalents, otherwise you are very likely to get washed out along the way.
Supercomputers have very different needs. They want 64-bit floating point which nobody has been focusing on for a while

I work on embedded appliance software at my job. A few comments:

It's quite easy to find yourself having non-zero boot times for some unfortunate reasons. At least in my org, the software as a whole is RAM/ROM constrained rather than speed constrained. Even when you're this close to bare metal, devs tend to write over-abstracted code riddled with inefficiencies. And of course most people don't profile the application at all. This is a symptom of the software being under-tested imo. I have personally written tooling to integration test the whole application for a few appliances, and for one appliance initializing the application 56 times took over 1 second. On a modern machine it should take milliseconds. After profiling I found that 99%+ of our time was spent servicing a subscription tied to all events, that really only needed to subscribe to just one or two.

Along with that there are other reasons for long apparent boot up times:

- Waiting for other boards to connect and talk to each other. Your UI can't do anything until it knows the state from the main control.

- Randomized delays to prevent current surges after a blackout. You'll see this on ACs or other appliances that might have hundreds of identical units in a building.

- Waiting for flash memory to be readable

All of this adds up to seconds of boot time. Yet ultimately none of this matters to the business people because we're an appliance company, NOT a software company. Our software is mostly incidental to having a functioning product, and boot times could go way higher without the business being worried. Though recently yes, we have entered the data market hence the push for smart features. Word to the wise, avoid any appliance with Android in it if you don't like the idea of forced connected features!

I unfortunately don't have any solutions to most of the problems presented in the article. All I can do is continue to try writing bullet-proof software and push back against forced connected features.
That sounds perfect. This needs to go on a list for the next time I need to replace a dishwasher.
I’ve legit seen a heated online debate with hundreds of comments about this question (maybe not the exact numbers), and I don’t think most participants were memeing. People are that bad at math. It’s depressing.
Granted I’m 35 years out of undergrad, but my classics professors could most definitely sight-read complex Latin just fine.
It's heart breaking to think a whole generation will soon be brought up on learning from AI generated slop.

Here's my attempt at using this tool:

Learning Intention: To understand the differences between MP3 and WAV audio formats and the concept of audio compression.

What does AI give us?

Rambling text that adds nothing to progress a student's learning intention:

Each format has its own strengths and weaknesses, which may affect your listening experience. [..] Choosing between them depends on your needs, whether you value quality or convenience.

On a later slide in the same presentation the more rambling appears:

Audio compression is vital for efficient sound management. Knowing different types of audio can enhance your media experience. [..] Choosing the right audio format is essential for quality and convenience. Understanding audio compression will improve your listening experience.

Moving on to the AI generated quizzes with unnecessarily confusing negatives only to find out the AI slop is just flat out wrong:

True or false. MP3 files cannot achieve higher quality than WAV files.

I pick "true" and get "Incorrect: MP3 files can provide good quality for casual listening, but WAV is superior."

Edit: Also be careful with the images, it dropped one into my presentation that I found had been taken from a PDF on the web without attribution.

They also did not attend university nor received high school diplomas. They were self driven a lot.
Another thing it's been it's been for a long time is "increasingly popular". If anything, groupthink and common narrative are easier on a smaller site.
My five year old GE dishwasher has WiFi and a "Smart HQ" app, which also connects to my GE ovens. I used it for a while, and then it stopped working and required an update, and re-authorization. I never re-authorized, and I don't really miss the "smart" connectivity. The most annoying thing (for me) about all of this is that the GE ovens have a nice easy-to-read digital clock, but the clocks use a low-quality reference oscillator (apparently not the 60Hz line frequency), so they drift. After spending some time researching, I was able to get the oven clocks to use NTP via (isolated vlan) WiFi, without needing to use the app at all. Unfortunately, the clocks still need to be manually updated twice year when DST kicks on and off.

I did try all of the configuration possibilities with regard to DHCP:

dhcp-option=option:ntp-server,132.163.96.1

dhcp-option=option:time-offset,0xFFFF8F80 #(Standard time)

#dhcp-option=option:time-offset,0xFFFF9D90 #(Daylight time)

dhcp-option=option:posix-timezone,'PST8PDT7,M3.2.0/02:00,M11.1.0/02:00'

I've never actually found any IoT device that recognizes or correctly uses these.

I've no idea if the newer GE products are still this bad, but I'll be shopping for "dumb" appliances on the next appliance refresh cycle.
Agreed. It is a flaw of the media and human psychology that we shine the spotlight disproportionately. The media is almost always a caricature of reality. Scientific journals provide a more realistic view of innovation as an incremental process without as much hype.
I think that's a fair assessment. Goldberg seems to have strong journalistic ethics too. Again, from Bluesky,

David Graham asks Jeffrey Goldberg about possible retaliation

Jeffrey: It's not my role to care about the possibility of threats or retaliation. We just have to come to work and do our jobs to the best of our ability. Unfortunately, in our society today—-we see this across corporate journalism and law firms and other industries--there's too much preemptive obeying for my taste. All we can do is just go do our jobs.

What's notable is less the faintness, and more the distance / proximity.

I don't know that this is the most distant very faint dwarf satellite observed, but it is the faintest orbiting the Andromeda galaxy, to date. That may speak to observations not possible with nearer VFDGs, or speak to new observational methods / techniques / equipment which made the observation possible.

I'd hope that someone working in the field (I do not) might be able to comment more substantively on such matters, rather than quibble over the relatively uninteresting fact that nearer VFDGs have been observed with far lower absolute luminosity, which ... is rather to be expected.
Absolutely correct !!

Yes. "Audio compression is vital for efficient sound management" should be more specific, like "audio compression saves storage space on your device by reducing the size of your audio file without a noticeable reduction in sound quality"
It could change but, so far, most universities haven't applied that rule (even though they could). Even then, we'd be talking 2800 to 3800€ per year, a far cry from $20k.

I wouldn't recommend France, though, because engineering is mainly not taught in universities but in so-called Grandes Ecoles (they're engineering schools), which span years 3-5 and are only accessed after competitive exams at the end of year 2, from a sort of boarding high-school++ program (Classes Préparatoires).

For theoretical studies or even applied fundamental disciplines (like applied math), it's a different story, universities are excellent and they're easy to access (I mean, the better ones are selective, but you could get on board at any time using other degrees, unlike Grandes Ecoles) and get an internationally recognized degree from.

EDIT: Hadn't noticed OP is from the EU, in that case they would pay the same as French people, that's around 500€ per year max.
If I write those articles, I admit I will have used ChatGPT to help me do the research. After a lot of background work, here's a snippet from what it wrote insofar as the Apple II relates to ORMs:

"So yes—tongue firmly in cheek—the Apple II is responsible for the Vietnam of Computer Science. It set a generation on an imperative path, which led to a decade of trying to bend SQL to our will with ORMs, with mixed success and plenty of scars."

These are all fair points, no doubt.

Respectfully, my response is that teachers are highly trained professionals and most of us take the job very seriously. The teacher generating the presentation will review the content for accuracy before presenting it, no different than a teacher suggesting links or YouTube videos for students to use as a basis for research.

All the content and activities are editable and after an Undergrad and often a Masters, I feel that the teacher is perfectly qualified to make any adjustments necessary.

I do understand your sentiment though.
Literally have a Bosch dishwasher that has none of this Wifi garbage. It is amazing and super low sound compared to the 10 year old one that self destructed and nearly wrecked my basement bedroom (and the electrical panel).

Strongly recommended, would buy it again - as long as they don't have any insane IoT garbage included.

It's not just social media. What enabled things to get to this point was Fox News, which was created specifically to do that.

"
In 1970, political consultant Roger Ailes and other Nixon aides came up with a plan to create a new TV network that would circumvent existing media and provide "pro-administration" coverage to millions. "People are lazy," the aides explained in a memo. "With television you just sit — watch — listen. The thinking is done for you." Nixon embraced the idea, saying he and his supporters needed "our own news" from a network that would lead "a brutal, vicious attack on the opposition."
