The real killer app for AI will be when someone creates an AI that grovels over all the millions of low-effort AI slop games out there and flags just the interesting/fun/novel ones for your attention. Otherwise you'll never find the gems amongst all the dross.
Yeah that changes the context somewhat. There's a difference between "We should remove the bi-annual time change, it's unhealthy" (which I agree with and would like to happen) and the wishful thinking "WhAt iF iT wAs SuMmEr aLl yEaR rOuNd" crap that seems beloved of legislators and others who sort of agree that the bi-annual time changes need to go, but have the worst idea of how to implement it.
This paper isn't advocating for keeping bi-annual time changes. It's advocating for standard time. And I agree standard time is probably a better approach, even if some people get butt hurt about the idea of it not still being light at 9pm in the middle of August.
It all depends on who you are optimizing for.
There is no one correct answer, because which one fits your circadian rhythms better depends entirely on what time you wake up.
the reason DACA was done via EO was that Republicans refused to pass the DREAM Act which was a bi-partisan bill kicked around since 2001 but Republicans would filibuster it at every oppurtunity.[sic]
"We couldn't get a law through congress so we did something questionably legal via executive order" is reinforcing the point being made by the grandparent (which, FWIW, I don't fully agree with. Many of Trump's executive orders are clearly less rooted in law than what's come before).
Same with the McCain Kennedy bill, bipartisan legislation never got a vote in the Senate
By the way, funny that you mention Sen. Kennedy in the context of immigration reform, who rather famously said: "This amnesty will give citizenship to only 1.3 million illegal aliens. We will secure the borders henceforth. We will never again bring forth an amnesty bill like this." Yet here we are.
We all know of Kellogg and Graham, but I can't name a single comedian from their times. What's some examples of un-prudish people looked upon favorably from their times?
Washington Irving? Ambrose Bierce? Mark Twain?
Well then, Mandelbrot rendering it is
Careful, you'll have terrified mathematicians crying about pathological monsters.
I'm one of those people that learned how to type 60+ WPM the wrong way (had a computer in the home since 1980 when I was 12)
Same experience for me. I remember a slow day in the office back in 99 or 2000 (we'd just shipped a release) we got into an argument about typing speeds so set up typing tests for the whole team. My "my fingers never actually sit on the home keys, my hands relocate from time to time, and most of my typing is with three or four fingers and a thumb" ass clocked over 100wpm to the incredulity of the rest of the team.
Natural keyboards feel decidedly unnatural to me, because my hands always want to be somewhere they don't fit.
Have you met young people that intentionally became Windows admins?
I have. Generally fall into two buckets: the ones that did everything themselves and learned, or the ones that only have a school education. The former generally know what they're talking about, the latter often have huge gaps in their knowledge. But that's true of the devs I interview, too, so I wouldn't place that stigma on the windows admins.
Or the windows admins (the legitimate ones) you can hire out of, say, India? My guess is with your history, you probably have not.
"Met" as in face to face? No, not really, but I've been on a lot of phone calls with the men who do the needful. Again, this ain't a windows thing.
Your use of the word "most" did not go unnoticed, and I am fully aware that the plural of "anecdote" is not "data." With that said, I have met plenty of people just like me in my career. I do not believe that "most" people running Windows shops" are "stupid and incapable." Some certainly are, but I've met plenty of dumb *IX people, too, especially back in the 90s.
I've met my share of assholes, too. Just saying.
To be fair, most people working as Windows sysadmins would not have that job if they were smart and capable.
Come the fuck on.
In my career, I have worked (professionally) with Solaris, AIX, HP-UX, Linux, OS/2, SCO ODT/OSR, a bunch of shit I can't remember, and every Microsoft server platform since NT4. My current environment is 98% Microsoft. That doesn't make me stupid and incapable, that's just where my career took me.
Is... English not your first language? I ask because you appear to be way overthinking this.
The metaphor was perfectly clear to me when I read it.
That's a new one on me. Is that some sort of regional slang? Where does the word "hatch" have something to do with lice?
Err... definitely not "regional slang." Literally the dictionary definition of the word "hatch" i.e. "to emerge from an egg."
It's a good platform to run for office on. Our city is not accountable to it's citizens becuase of the rampant mis-management of our tax dollars. Here's an example, if one of you needed information from the city it could take over a decade to get a result.
Norway's minister of digital affairs, said he was worried that new, powerful technology is being introduced where people risk being... audio-recorded without knowing it."
So, welcome to (checks notes) 1967, I guess?
I'm Pro-nuclear power, but I do have to agree that "containment leak" is definitely a very understated way of saying "you can see the pretty blue light from kilometers away."
It wasn't very good at counting the costs to anyone, and was pretty much ignorant of any costs to anyone else.
I don't believe today's models are AGI, but "not understanding cost" is a dangerous assumption to make. If you read the METR analysis of the Hugging Face attack, the agents used were very much aware of their own compute budgets and worked to maximize what the swarm had available to achieve the task.
