If talking about Lithium battery, you need to multiple your Ah value by 3.3V and you can get your Wh. If talking about things like the chip's TDP - there are some problems of finding any metrics on a brand new laptop because the vendors try to do their chips as obfuscated as possible.

I don't know why everyone is so salty. It's like putting "vibecode" in the headline attracted the worst in people.

For context, I'm not a cooking geek or virtuoso. I enjoy it to some degree, but mostly it's just about having a nice, nutritious experience, in line with whatever my mood might be. I only ever measure things super accurately when I'm baking things in the bread maker (because it doesn't let you make corrections). For most meals, I wing half the measurements and time estimates.

In my experience, most "human recipes" are just random variations on some baseline. I hate looking for recipes on recipe sites, youtube, etc. There are food bloggers that are exceptions, but usually I'll just end up scrolling for a long time with just frustration to show for it. If I sort of know some of the ingredients I want to use, have some sense of the type of eating experience I'm going for, and I want a bunch of recommendations based on that, regular "human recipe" sites are not the answer.

90% of my new recipes come from ChatGPT, and that ratio is increasing. I just marinated some chicken based on a recipe it magicked for me. I asked for insights on mixing mayo and yoghurt in the same marinade, because I had leftovers of both. It gave me 5 or so diverse recipes, and I just picked the one that best fit my pantry and mood. I also asked it to convert the recipe from volume to weight, not to mention scale it for my specific quantity of chicken, which was super handy.

I find that ChatGPT is great at providing common sense instructions and approximations. It's absolutely awesome at clobbering together a meal from ingredients I tell it I have. I can have an actual dialogue about any of it, get all kinds of recommendations and insights. That's been very useful to me. I'd go as far as to say that recipe generation is one of the easiest real problems for an LLM to solve. Or, at least for the kinds of recipes I use.

I've done my share of recipes from Serious Eats, but they weren't particularly good. I was doing Breton galettes the other week, which are notoriously fiddly to get right. Serious Eats had a huge article about it, interesting insights, but their final recipe sucked, and I was trying to be accurate. Not only I failed to get the consistency right, the wheat-buckwheat ratio was nowhere near what you'd get in France. I say, write researched articles about what makes recipes work. I can read it, I can bounce my LLM off it. If it's a fiddly recipe, I'll have to fiddle with it no matter what. If I can have a conversation with an LLM about principles at work, that's much better to me than a bunch of "human recipes".

Also, I often have questions about alternatives or things I need advice on as I'm preparing food. I'll also look at the recipe a gazillion times to check the instructions, quantities, etc. I'll set and check a timer often too. A voice-assistant is the obvious answer to this, which I'll try at my earliest convenience.

Kudos to the author!

Indeed. The whole of modern graphics API architecture hinges on the idea that each of your million or so pixels is a meaningful unit of work that can be done in parallel.
My hope is that the actual next generation of tech development isn't going to be VC and hype-cycle funded. I hope that we will go back to bootstrapped smart people making actual things that people actually want, rather than VCs breathlessly hyping stuff like fake money and plagiarism machines that nobody wants.
I believe you are wrong about what quality reporting is about. Journalism degraded because of the economic situation they find themselves in, but also because the school of journalism degraded. Maybe as a reaction to economic woes, but it certainly didn't not revolutionize the craft and instead did away with some quality aspects.

> school-age lessons

You could elaborate on this "argument", but we would probably disagree about the problems of modern journalism.

> If you can make a good argument supporting your demonization or praise, why not?

Because this is a more or less proof you didn't write an article to inform the reader and that you had other aspirations. You also lose the trust of your readers, but of course you always can work from the minima some papers find themselves in. Boulevard can be economically viable.

Be that as it may, to be a successful journalist is difficult today. And if you are too successful, you probably have a lot of enemies in your own trade.

If reality is subjective it must be objective too.
Where have they argued for suppression of "disinformation" "broadly defined as stuff they disagree with" should "be suppressed"?

That further is actually published as the view of the paper as opposed to opinion pieces, that often are "stuff they disagree with" yet still are happy to publish.

The closest I've come to seeing an official statement arguing for some degree of regulation have been mild and vague. Even one stating that the cost of fake campaign videos is real, and pointing out genuine concern over implications to democracy, only called for "paying attention" and "developing suitable responses".

My impression is that The Guardian is about as firm as a wet blanket when it comes to taking a stance against movements leveraging misinformation.

The Most Controversial Rule in Math [video]
I think what the FAA wasn't saying may have been above the sensitivity level of a public hearing. The thing is, people will know when an aircraft is around (audio/visual). They'll also know when it's not transmitting (ADS-B receivers are dirt cheap). So, if the FAA says something like "when members of xx department are flying they won't be transmitting", a bad actor could use that to do bad actor things. I understand their point.
Very interesting work. What are your opinions of GraphRAG and the variations?

I'm currently evaluating systems that extend RAG as your PageIndex project does, with an eye on adaptability to new information.

A good portion of my work involves legal issues and case law, and with the US going through a lot of legal transformations with the new administration, I am seeking a system that can ingest new information that imposes new rules on the handling of information, and those new rules need to impose precedence over any similar such rules already in the knowledgebase.

This new information ingestion and logical resolution within the larger knowledgebase needs to be efficient too. The initial GraphRAG is expensive to begin with, and does not appear to have any optimized handling for ingesting of new, conflicting information. The GraphRAG variants that are getting a lot of attention now appear to be addressing the lack of efficiency in the original GraphRAG implementation. Where does PageIndex set within this group of similar offerings?

There are actors I developed an affinity towards. I don't know for sure whether it was their role or acting in that role. I don't think so. I just think I saw some of them when I started exploring cinema from the world, outside my country, and hence in the beginning that meant mostly from the USA. I think it is just early familiarity. Kilmer is one of them.

And - they never seem to age to me. Maybe it's the makeup or what not. I remember him from Heat and even in subsequent films somehow he stayed that old or young - like in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, or Salton Sea, there was this with Michael Douglas, and some more. don't remember Top Gun for Cruise, hell I don't remember any Tom Cruise film for Tom Cruise. If I noticed him in a film I'd just assume I'd like that film and that kinda seemed irrational but I did like the film. There was something about him. There are few more actors like him. It's sad. They never look older to me, they just die one day and that becomes more shocking. In a way it reminds me of my own mortality harder compared to maybe if I would have noticed them steadily growing and looking older. I will miss him.
What is the actual difference?

As far as I can see it explicitly allows management to consider public benefit, which is something they can do anyway (certainly if the shareholders allow it).

What a great project. Congratulations. I grew up getting to drive mini-bikes, lawn mowers, tractors, the old truck, etc. Now that I’m older and live in bug cities, I know so many younger people who say they just don’t like or feel comfortable driving. They never got to drive smaller wheeled things as they grew up. When my never-been-behind-the-wheel, and nervous, NYC niece and nephew hit 14-15, I took them to a large open space in our Mini Cooper and told them to pound it. Floor it, crank the wheel, etc - to give them the feeling of having fun driving while getting a good feel of it. And seeing their smiles was awesome.

This is more precise but you probably mean the same thing. Just that discussion has degraded toward the idea that there are always political sides to every fact, the "everything is political" crowd.
Fire-bombing a city full of civilians is probably also a war crime. Tokyo was not a giant aeroplane factory, it was full of Japanese citizens who we would consider innocents, "Grave of the Fireflies" is about that period† - the children literally starving to death isn't an exaggeration for the sake of making a sad movie - that's the reality of what we did to win.

Not to mention the US literally rounded up citizens who had Japanese ancestors and sent them to concentration camps. They apologised, decades later, but note these aren't enemy civilians who happen to be in the wrong place, they're your own citizens who merely look similar to the enemy.

Because the Americans sent babies to these camps for the crime of having ancestors born in Japan there will be a decade or so of people who have memories (albeit fuzzy ones) of this actually fucking happening to them after the people who fought WWII are dead.

† Grave of the Fireflies is set in Kobe, which was also fire bombed.

AbbVie | AI/Software Engineer | Remote, UK/EU | Full-time

Are you a great coder (Python/Typescript, but great skills are transferrable), who enjoys close collaboration with end-users in solving their hard problems?

Do you have a solid foundation in the AI/LLM-world - or are you a great at the above and willing to learn?

Are you well versed in data engineering concepts, and excited to work with the latest GenAI models and bring these solutions into production? Then I'd love to hear from you!

We are a small team who care deeply about our work as well as each other. We iterate fast, and err on the side of showing a quick prototype of an idea, rather than spending hours in meetings talking about it.

Our vision for this project is extremely ambitious, and you will be a crucial part of making this a reality. We've been expanding the team, and are currently looking to fill a few extra roles in the UK/EU-timezones.

If you fit the above description, hit me up at jakob.hoppermann@abbvie.com with your resume + a little bit about yourself!
It is, with denatonium hence no excise tax.
Cool, hoping this will become more common and easier done with help from distro's!
> LLMs are super useful but currently, the primary use case is teaching, not doing.

For code? Autocomplete on steroids is the killer-app.

The other things the LLMs give me are prone to be over-engineered/overly verbose code or similar.

I went through a lot of "Why are you also doing $FOO then $BAR? Doesn't seem necessary if we skip them and do $BAZ which will make one or both of those redundant" and it responding "You're right! Lets use $BAZ instead".

And giving them code to make a small change to was pointless - they would often, but not always, make an incidental change far from the point where you asked for the change.

But autocomplete? That works just great and because I've already got context of the code I am writing I can check it in (at most) two seconds and move on.

I found success on my first project, luck or skill?
I recently launched my firs project rotateproduct.com which helps e-commerce users create video ads from a static image using AI. I had experience with business directly before I know a bit about how physical product marketing works but I never launched an online app, I finished my Computer engineering bachelor and since I had no plan I decided to launch an app, I didn't expect much since most indie developers say that you need to iterate.

I just dove in this world and launched an app that I myself used in my other business, so I thought if I am ready to pay for this then probably there is more people like me. I didn't know how SaaS marketing worked but I just started researching, one thing I knew for sure in my small local business is that nothing beats paid advertising so I did just that with my app.

In the end I think the advertising knowledge from my small business and the idea that "what I would pay for other people would also pay for" were 2 main things that made me have success in my first launch.

Just to be clear what I call "success", in two weeks I have 30+ signups and already a paying customer when I didn't expect even 1 signup, I don't have a big following in any social media, so it's not earth shattering but for me it's success.

> There was a bit of an uproar a few years back about how many premiership football players were using asthma medication, a higher rate than the general population. The implication being that they were using them as performance enhacning drugs. But if you take into account that they disproportionately come from poor inner-city areas (not all, but many more), the proportion with asthma looks much more in line with the background rate.

You can get asthma just from breathing really hard too much. Especially in cold climate. Due to this it is really common with endurance athletes.

I think you hit the nail on the head with this.

We don't have honor as a social parameter any longer, so lives and fortunes lack the oomph of honor.

I think you may be reading this wrong. Agree with sibling post that even teaching folks C# -- which isn't far off of TypeScript, Java, etc. -- is never so straightforward if the individual wants a full grasp of the tool.

For myself, I feel that I have "full" command of C# as a programming language, but also how to structure projects, how to isolate modules, how to decouple code, how to set up a build system from scratch for C#, how do deploy and scale applications built with C#, what the strengths and weaknesses are, etc. My definition of "comfort" would entail a broader understanding of not just the syntax, but of the runtime ecosystem in which that code operates.

> pretty much any USB drive ever made will be fine.

This is not the case. Most of the cheap drives on Amazon sold by random capital letters people are complete shit. As an example, the "CB31005" drive doesn't fucking work. It often gets hung up on reading the TOC and won't even admit there is a CD in the drive. If it doesn't hang there, it reads fine for a while, then at some random point (possibly the first point of error) just gives up and fails to read sectors, forevermore, until you unplug and replug the drive.

Even with EAC (which is indeed very good), it just spends hours re-reading sectors up to its maximum number of retries, giving up, and inserting silence. Do not buy a CB31005.
