Charitably, you could read this as "its overall intelligence [is in a class that] ranks second only to [that of]..."

Depends what happens next. RSUs are taxed as ordinary income at their market value at the time they vest, so it's not necessarily bad if the stock is down.

In fact, the ideal scenario is that the price drops just before your vest and then bounces back up after.

Your own link contradicts the assertion you’re making about the origin of the fire.

I'm not speaking in vague generalities here. New features in C# do not stop you from writing old C#, and they never have.

Here's code that uses the delegate keyword introduced in C# 2.0, twenty years ago. You'll rarely see an explicit delegate in a modern C# codebase, but the C# compiler is still happy for you to use it.

In my experience they absolutely do. The houses by and large aren't very well designed or insulated, and electricity isn't that cheap. In the southeast I rarely see home thermostats set to the 60s or low 70s. Office settings are a different question, though.

This is not how new language features work in C#.

You commented on this thread! You must be involved! Prison for you.

My impression is that voluntarily child-free people have a very low regret rate, but there are dozens of conflicting studies on this. Interested if you have anything concrete to link to.

What does his status as a foreigner have to do with ruining Windows? You can't think of any homegrown American CEOs that systematically ruin their products and companies?

Individuals have faced federal charges and served prison time for reselling copyrighted content. I don't see the same happening to AI execs.

On formatting: having the big-text snippets occur before they do in the main body was jarring. I think it's more normal practice to lift out specific quotes after they have occurred in the text, not before.

On content: if it's any consolation, America is doing this to America as well. Locals everywhere are wringing their hands over stylistic homogenization, Instagrammability-driven design choices, and rapidly increasing prices.

The conclusion of the piece is that this is no longer a uniquely American phenomenon.

I got a 4700k in 2013 for 200 bucks from Microcenter. The thing has been continuously in service ever since. It's my "homelab" box now.

It can be both.

I'm not sure if payment is involved, but I've heard Orthodox Jews can and do seek non-Jewish help when they need e.g. light switches toggled on the Sabbath.

I see what you mean. I still ask friends for rides to the airport, but you're probably right that it's a shallower net than I might have cast without rideshare apps.

Facebook, sure, but Uber and AirBNB? I don't see how Uber has displaced some community function. AirBNB is arguably destructive to communities, but again how was community fulfilling the need it attempts to address?

I've never understood the "teaching to the test" argument against these tests. Take a look at some of the math SAT sample questions: https://satsuite.collegeboard.org/media/pdf/digital-sat-samp...

How would you "teach to the test" for these in a way that looks different from just teaching arithmetic, algebra, trigonometry, etc?

...why wouldn't it be? Who cares if e.g. Greenland has near-zero total emissions if nearly nobody lives there? Emissions are a cost of human existence, of course absolute emissions should scale with population.

Drives me crazy too, but headline writers/editors were addicted to "quietly" long before LLMs. Online journalism has been full of these types of tropes for ages.

Doesn't seem inconsistent to me. I may want my code to be open source so that other humans can read it, understand it, build on it, and contribute to it.

I may also have a philosophical opposition to generative AI at the same time - there are plenty of environmental, societal, and intellectual-property costs that some may find unconscionable.

I'm sympathetic to your point, but at some point other people ruining themselves degrades your experience as well.

I don't gamble and in theory don't care if others do. But prediction markets are affecting sports and possibly governance as well in obviously negative ways.

For this specific issue - the more functionally illiterate, zero-attention-span humans we create, the worse all of our lives will become.

The X3 and X4 both have an SD card slot, so it's theoretically possible to store it at least. Actually searching and browsing it is another question.

Not personally familiar with the details, as I don't have any Amazon devices. Sounds like it involves jailbreaking and per-model differences: https://github.com/koreader/koreader/wiki/Installation-on-Ki...

Worth mentioning it's not limited to Android! It also runs on Kobos, Kindles, Pocketbooks, etc.

I’m running Crosspoint on the X3, and am quite pleased with both the software and hardware. It even supports reading progress via Koreader sync, which I use on my main eInk devices.

Is it actually stylistically close to how you'd write it? If I reformulate your comment in slop style I'd do something like:

The language is natural. Normal. Human. Who could question its authenticity?

The original example isn't the worst offender, but even small offenders stick out when you can't escape seeing this kind of thing everywhere.

Pieces of writing don’t really exist in isolation. Your opinion of a given chunk is formed not only by it, but by everything else you have read.

So in one part the negative reaction is to staleness. Everything sounds the same.

If it was all the same but dry, terse, and to the point (like technical writing), it wouldn’t be so bad.

But it’s repetitive with an annoying, breathless, get-ready-to-be-impressed voice that many of us find grating.

Are you capable of empathy only for people related to you?

Getting at logs in something like azure functions is a great example of this.

This is the least of the problems I've experienced with Azure Functions. You'd have to try very hard to NOT end up with useful logs in Application Insights if you use any of the standard Functions project templates. I'm wondering how this went wrong for you?
