i've wanted a de-bayered sensor camera for a decade and a half; but i'm not willing to pay Red or Arri prices for a real monochrome cine camera. I had an Huawei Honor 8 that had a real-honest-to-goodness monochrome sensor on it. It used it for focusing, but one could take images straight from that sensor. It was around the time that Asus zenfone was using IR Lasers to do focusing, other phones had other depth sensors.

I still have to manually focus (by pushing the screen where i want it to focus), but on newer phones the focus tries to "track" what you touched, which is... why would they change that? I tilt the phone down to interact with it, i know where in the frame i want it to focus, because before i tilted the phone down, i was looking at the frame! Rule of thirds, i can reframe the image to put focus exactly in one of the areas it ought be, zoom in or out, whatever. But no, apparently it has been decided i want the focus to wander around as it sees fit.

I just unplugged the honor 8 to take a picture and apparently the battery is kaput since the last time i used it. Sad day, indeed.
Surprising we have so many NK sympathizers here. We have decades of reporting for different groups and yet here we are defending NK and calling folks racists.
Agreed. I am firmly on the side of Capital.
What it means is, the court ruling didn't address that question, so don't take the court's ruling as answering that question. The question of whether the government can use the Aliens and Sedition Act not in time of war is still an open question, unaddressed by this ruling.

The Patch Theory of darcs and CRDTs (and the middle idea of OTs [Operational Transforms]) are all interestingly related in their early research and early cross-communication. It certainly is fascinating that today it is probably easier to ask "Do you ever think you might want a CRDT for source control?" to explain some of why you might want patch-based over snapshot-based, because CRDTs exist in part because it somewhat was started as "what if you could do something like darcs but with general data, not just source control?" It's fascinating which technologies win and in which ways/places/niches.
If there are studies that prove this, can i see them? And are there equivalent studies on populations of women? Or is this a Kodak situation where there’s just at best an assumption based on existing biases?
This is a good way to introduce regressions, particularly if you don't have the QA resources to do full regression testing each release and lack automated test coverage.

I don't say this to scold you, but I think most of us should keep in mind that even simple code changes incur risk and add testing requirements.
The residents of Flint, MI, might disagree with you.
Do you really though? Because I had this conversation recently and she was still typing stuff into the browser bar in chrome and then clicking on stuff from search results. I think a lot of folk think ChatGPT has superseded search but they don’t realise they are still carrying out a load of low level or transactional search queries via chrome.
Agreed, I also use ChatGPT now mostly for searches, because it will pick the best sources that are not content farms, so I don't have to look through garbage to get a result. I started doing this about a year ago and was like "Oh, wow. This could disrupt search engines" and refer to it as "Super Google" now. I always have it link me to the source of what I'm looking for so I don't worry about it hallucinating, for common information I'm looking for reputable sources but don't know which `X` source has them for `Y` info.
Hey! Thanks for maintaining chartjs :)
Ahh, I'm only on 2.0 Flash.
This is unnecessarily antagonistic.
I use Kagi exclusively and refuse to offload my brain to a thing which has no accuracy guarantee ever. The emitted answers to the queries it has given can be completely bogus, and developers of these things low key expect me to believe what their black box say? Nah, never.

Instead I use a search engine and do my own reading and filtering. This way I learn what I'm researching, too, so I don't fall into the vicious cycle of drug abu ^H^H^H^H^H laziness. Otherwise I'll inevitably rely more on more on that thing, and be a prisoner of my own doing by increasingly offloading my tasks to a black box and be dependent on it.
The 'no fruit juice' thing really got on my nerves when my kids were little since people just throw it out with no qualifications. So really, if I cut up some oranges and squeeze the juice into a cup I can't give it to my kid because fruit = sugar = bad? It's such a reductionist way to look at food and nutrition.

I also recently had a PT tell me that blending fruit into smoothies removes all the nutritional value, which is why no one should get nutritional advice heath professionals who are not nutritionists.

That seems like pretty small potatoes compared to how much has been spent on LLMs these days.

Or to put it another way: if global funding for LLM development had been capped at $200m, how many of them would even exist?

I should gather my thoughts and focus my statement now that I recalled why I made it to begin with. I was really mostly curious specifically why you were so certain about the “lifetime of propaganda” and what it can do to the mind. Being a closed society we don’t have access to North Koreans to just talk to. You have defectors who are outliers. Secondly, taking the statement about the propaganda at face value, the next problem is what it does to the mind. Because we can’t point to people praising “the dear leader” or whatever in public as proof of the inner life of someone. If they live in such an authoritarian hellhole then they will have to say that just to survive. So is it a lifetime of propaganda? Or are they just getting by?

The next point would be juxtapose the lifetime of propaganda with your complete and unwavering certainty about the state of mind in the hermit kingdom, but you don’t seem quite ready for that.

Now to your reply here. There’s too many muddied points, too many strawmen to go into in detail without boring you in turn. So I won’t. But notice that I haven’t even defended North Korea. In fact one of the points I made was how they will sheepherd tourists. My comment was 80% epistemological, as you say. And your response? Talking about “the Utopia” of the DMZ? Oh wait, that’s exactly the phrase you brought up to someone else[1] and they too never ever said that North Korea was a great place to live (only that the narrative was “racist”).

So why go into these epistemological sleep study sessions? Because as evidenced by the conversation in [2], you (but also serving as an example because this is far from unique) will dismiss people who question the narrative of the OP, namely “The FBI reported the money funds nuclear weapons and operations”. This is perfectly germane to the topic: is this a thing of concern or is it a convenient narrative? You dismiss that as a “conspiracy” in your reply and waffle on about “sure, other countries do bad things, but NK worse”. Your dismissal has got nothing to do with the topic, though. The topic is not if NK is a fantastic place to live, a “utopia” or whatever. The topic is if they did something that other countries don’t do.

They didn’t say what to wear, they said a vague what not to wear. Almost all interviews at that point in time expected attire a step above your intended position. I personally think it was just a silly test of whether you already know what they expect. “You are a great hire but you dressed too nicely for the interview” is certainly a thing that I chuckle at.
How about we agree that people making food controversial are the problem and we can just ignore them. It's like they have a religion that refreshes its beliefs on a 5 year cycle.

i was told not to use cedar bedding for chicks as "the smell is too strong, it suffocates them." I'll extrapolate that if cedar scent kills chicks, it isn't too far a stretch that their waste can also suffocate them, as that's actually putrid smelling, whereas cedar just smells nice.

Outright lies? Perhaps but even then it’s not clear if it meets the legal definition in all cases.

Exaggerating, misinterpreting the requirements and not telling the full story with all the details? Well that’s entirely subjective.

> under false pretenses

Like if a person has only has 2 years of professional experience in tech X but the job ad required 5 and he didn’t explicitly declare that during the interview without being bc prompted?

Or claiming that he has experience with technology Y (but it’s non-“professional” experience since he learnt it pn his own and again.. didn’t disclose that during the interview?

Even if that person turns out to be great at his job and you somehow find out he wasn’t 100% honest about some finer points in the interview (who tracks or remembers that stuff anyway?) you’d still feel the same way?

With these keybinds (plus clicking mouse, yuck) I can read Nx sources of information around a topic.

I'm always looking to read around the topic. I don't stop at the first result. I always want to read multiple sources to (a) confirm that's the standard approach (b) if not, are there other approaches that might be suitable (c) is there anything else that I'm not aware of yet. I don't want the first answer. I want all the answers, then I want to make my own choices about what fits with the codebase that I am writing or the problem domain that I'm working in.

Due to muscle memory, the first four/five steps i can do in like one or two seconds. Sometimes less.

Switching to the browser puts my brain into "absorb new information" mode, which is a different skill to "do what IDE tells me to do". Because, as a software engineer, my job is to learn about the problem domain and come up with appropriate solutions given known constraints -- not to blindly write whatever code I'm first exposed to by my IDE. I don't work in an "IDE context". I work in a "solving problems with software context".

==

So I agree with the GP. A lot of posts I see about people saying "why not just use LLM" seem to be driven by a motivation for convenience. Or, more accurately, unconsidered/blind laziness.

It's okay to be lazy. But be smart lazy. Think and work hard about how to be lazy effectively.

This is about data, though, not about addresses, is it?
I think the main difficulty is that it is a paragraph level optimization and not a line one. Right? Otherwise, it seems like you can probably get pretty far by defining a metric that looks at connected whitespace sections between lines? With higher penalty for connected space between words that has been stretched. (That is, if you have space between some words expanded to make them pretty at the edge, those will be more visible as rivers if they are stacked?)

And, yes, there are some concerns that are done at the line level that could lead to a paragraph getting reworked. Ending with a single word, is an easy example. That is still something where you can evaluate it at the line level easily.
That's called a search engine. We've had them for 30 years. Ahhhhhhhhhhhghh. It's blockchain all over again.
>The purpose of pretty, as designed by the CSS Working Group, is for each browser to do what it can to improve how text wraps. [...] There is no mandate for every browser to make the same choices. In fact, a browser team might decide in 2025 to handle some aspects of improving these qualities, and then change what their implementation does in the future. [...] Because of the way Chrome’s implementation of pretty has been taught, a lot of web developers expect this value is only supposed to prevent short last lines. But that was never the intention.

Why did they even design it like this in the first place? This seems like it is counter to much of what browsers have been doing recently like being able to customize select, the browser interop and baseline projects, web platform test etc. I would rather move away from these types of features in favor of more explicit ones. I understand that this isn't a serious issue and is unlikely to cause bugs compared to other interop issues which are true deviations from the spec. It just seems counterintuitive to do this though.
I'm just shocked that the companies who stole all kinds of copyrighted material would again do something unethical to keep the bubble and gravy train going...

"Originally, we were targeting NT to the Intel i860 (code-named 'N-Ten)', a RISC processor that was horribly behind schedule. Because we didn't have any i860 machines in-house to test on, we used an i860 simulator. That's why we called it NT, because it worked on the 'N-Ten.'"

Calling it a red flag may have been too harsh. It's certainly not an immediate no.

However, like it or not, it is a signal because it means you deviate significantly from the mode of the distribution. And a sober application of Bayes suggests that if anything, all else equal that signal is a negative one.

>I also recently had a PT tell me that blending fruit into smoothies removes all the nutritional value, which is why no one should get nutritional advice heath professionals who are not nutritionists.

I'd just suggest nobody get nutritional advice. Really so much of it is just nonsense and there's no good advice in my opinion outside "eat a variety of food in moderation" unless you have specific health problems. If a health professional told me that blending fruit into smoothies removes nutritional value I'd make it a point to try to get them fired. (I have gotten healthcare professionals fired, but for more serious stupid statements)
I see they are still using GloVe word embeddings for the first benchmark. Ah good ol' days! Nothing wrong with it, should still yield a realistic distribution of vectors. Just brings a lot of memories :)

The straw man is yours. No claim of entitlement was made. A scenario was provided that appears to refute your unconditional assertion that using this technology actively harms creative labor.

You've presented all sorts of wild assumptions and generalizations about the people who don't share your vehement opposition to the use of this technology. I don't think it's the person you're responding to with the implicit bias.

You've conflated theft with piracy (all too common) and assumed a priori that training a model on publicly available data constitutes such. Do you really expect people to blindly adopt your ideological views if you just state them forcefully enough?

> If using AI is okay for the creative labor, why shouldn't the students also use it for the programming too?

They absolutely should! At least provided it does the job well enough.

Unless they are taking a class whose point is to learn to program yourself (ie the game is just a means to an end). Similar to how you might be forbidden to use certain advanced calculator features in a math class. If you enroll in an art class and then just prompt GPT that likely defeats the purpose.

Sorta? It's not bad, right? But it has not much nutritional value, and spikes their glycemic index, which is probably fine but... why? I guess it does taste good...

You’re comparing politicans to regular people. Politicans have a vested interest in saying very specific things (in public) in order to maintain their myriad of alliances. Regular people that you accost in the street can say whatever they like, lie if it is convenient, if it furthers their own goals. Yes, Eastern Europeans have the ability to lie and aren’t bots programmed by Zelensky/Putin.[1]

I use ChatGPT only occasionally, mostly for laughs, but primarily use Google. It's not as good as it used to be, but it is still the best available. I think there is an opening for a new search engine company now (unlike 10 years ago when Google was unbeatable), and I suppose LLM's might be a part of it. ChatGPT is not it, though.

Same with my wife (non-technical) and teenage daughter.

I like how Netflix set up its incentive systems years ago. Essentially they told the employees that all they needed to do is deliver what the company wanted. It was perfectly okay that an employee did their job and didn't move up or do more. Per their chief talent officer McCord, "a manager's job is all about setting the context" and the employees were let loose to deliver. This method puts a really high bar on the managers, as the entire report chain must know clearly what they want delivered. Their expectation must be high enough to move the company forward, but not too ridiculous to turn Netflix into a burnout factory.
I wouldn't be surprised. Living in US more and more of my immigrant friends discover severe food sensitivities that they've never experienced before.
>Nobody was seriously arguing against fresh-squeezed juices (especially when served with the pulp).

Yes they are.

And when it comes down to it a little bit of fiber especially when something has been aggressively mashed up, doesn't make your orange juice all that different from a Mtn Dew. Fructose is fructose and no amount of magical extras is going to make that big of a difference on its metabolic effects.

I say that but I'm not advocating you to not drink juice. Just balance your inputs.
I used to work for a company called Xero that makes accounting software. We prided ourselves on making highly user-friendly "beautiful" accounting software. At the time we had a team (with the incredible name The Sniper Team) who were dedicated to hunting down and fixing small bugs, papercuts and UX issues. They had a tremendous positive effect on the codebase, the product and customer happiness.

I guess the concept wasn't paying off because the team was disbanded, as was the forum we used to communicate directly with our customers.
