I saw a post that some teachers are now asking students to ask ChatGPT to do their assignments… and then critique it where it is wrong.

I feel like this might be an interesting method for places where the default response tends to be someone submitting copy-pasta: just give the ai-response and then have community discussion around what it missed.

Not everybody who can run, runs. Not everybody who runs, runs close to their full potential. Even elite athletes have a life that can “get in the way.” Many who run close to their full potential get injured and set their training back.

So, you answer your phone to the scam and… now they have your voice too.

Talking on the phone is now an unmitigated liability.

I have a projector that I just leave off the network. Do TVs require a network connection now? What happens when they don't have one?

That only makes my question even more applicable... just with a wider scope.

As for your question: I personally don't want data, I want a service backed by sound data and expert validation+analysis.

I'm glad someone managed to save the data that we all payed for.

My question is, how will this site stay relevant? The collection/analysis/monitoring of the current situation is as important as historic data. Turning current data into historical data takes significant resources.

To that end, I hope the Trump administration's actions cause independent data collection and analysis by activists and independent scientists

Activists and independent scientists ... funded by whom? Data collected by whom? Data stored and distributed by whom? Data analyzed by whom? -- All of these roles are non-trivial, unlike your understanding of "the government" as a single monolithic entity; The government has/had different branches for the collection and study of climate vs (eg) the enforcement of emissions. The issue in our government today isn't the trust/separation of these different entities but the attack on them from above and abroad.

There are many large projects to collect this information ranging from extremely specialized satellites to networks of ocean buoys. It turns out that weather is a global phenomenon and warming seas on the other side of the planet affect wherever you are.

AFAICR, Linux was far easier to run stuff on by that point. Playing with different variants of Unix was certainly fun though! I remember being blown away by an Irix+OpenGL demo on “deprecated hardware” that a friend had access to in the late 90s. After growing up with a Borland compiler in dos and programming graphics in the most naive of manners possible, seeing accelerated graphics that outmoded any xscreensaver on my fancy 200Mhz Pentium Linux box opened my eyes a little more!

What?

"Amazon bins" ... or maybe just reusable bins that aren't specific to a company? See: shipping containers. A standard bin for home delivery could still have "Amazon" painted on it but the rest of the infrastructure wouldn't be Amazon specific.

I go to Costco when I have something else to do in the area; It's almost never a "trip to Costco" for me.

Others have mentioned the parking lot sizes. If we wanted the best of both worlds, we could have online shopping at Costco with curbside delivery. There has to be a warehouse somewhere which means there are trucks/trains/planes moving goods around regardless. Even Amazon builds warehouses closer to where things need to end up eventually to optimize costs. You are comparing apples to oranges.

Finally, Costco delivers if you really don't want to leave your house. Now we are back to the same model but with far more flexibility.

You’ve clearly not seen monkeys. /sarcasm

I would argue that management is a better discipline to pull from for employing LLMs; It is better equipped to deal with non-determinism and going completely off the rails.

Most/all airfields predate the purchase of a home. The noise complaints come from people who came long after the airfield was established.

You could switch between them depending on the browser. Desktop users are more likely to want an URL anyway, IMHO. FWIW: iOS has a "copy" option in the share popup.

Woah there, gotta watch that waistline! :)

I build using excess solar from my house. The build host is a small arm64 SBC that doesn’t require cooling in my passively cooled garage.

The resources behind your post likely have a larger carbon footprint.

It’s fairly easy to build your own kernel packages from vanilla sources in Debian. I’m running the latest 7.0.x within a few hours of its release. The build takes about 30-45 minutes depending on how much time I spend on skimming the ChangeLog. YMMV.

Breaking: Linus is on travel.

Did I miss something about this or is it just another number?

Good thing we are working so hard to automate the kind of work where you sit in the shade at a desk. (/sarcasm)

I think the disconnect between many people hearing "2C of warming" and the overall effects that will have is grossly underestimated. I kinda wish we could talk about how much raw energy that is ... even if we use American units of barrels of oil, or something.

it's the hot winds that get you

The difference between sun and shade is pretty big too.

For anyone that hasn't had heat sickness, it's not a one-and-done ordeal. You become more sensitive to heat after getting sick from it. It can easily take a month of careful exposure to regain tolerance but working in the same conditions is not the same thing. In addition, heat sickness is awful.

This feels like a BOFH response but I'm strangely not opposed to it; If you generate something, you should own it ... regardless of what tool you used to generate it.

What’s the long term strategy for this code base? Does the author expect community code contribution or just bug reports or maybe just test contributions?

... you’ve just dropped a bunch of [...] personal attacks

False.

I’m lacking on the 1500 hours, but other than that, yeah.

Hmm. So by, "yeah," you mean, "no."

The PIC does not get to make a passenger blow him, just like he can’t come read your emails if he feels like it.

Straw man much? A captain of a 121-op is not going to get on the intercom and ask for this ... and expect to keep their job. Given that most people don't know where the line is drawn, there is an expectation that you do need to follow all directions. There are definitely directions that, if not followed, result in committing a felony. The other side of the expectation is that of professionalism on behalf of the crew:

Google "professionalism" > It is a combination of competence, ethical behavior, and respectful communication.

You would do well to consider the effects of this statement before continuing too far past 1500 hours.

The Pilot in Command (PIC) holds absolute, ultimate responsibility and final authority for the operation and safety of the aircraft.

Also, in another reply you state, "aircrew has actual legal authority which stems from the fact that they’re aircrew."

Do your pilot credentials include an ATP cert?

This. Many people are unaware of just how much authority a captain has; Failing to follow their instructions is (basically) a felony. It's best to just not mess around on an aircraft.

It’s a rich take to discuss illegal and immoral stances while defending a technology that literally steals previous work and uses vast amounts of power just to exist.

Maybe it’s the LLM that we should consider as malware. After all, they have lead people to do many harmful things… and done harmful things on their own as well.

DOS systems often had hard drives. Also, floppy virus propagation is possible (aka: Sneakernet.)

It was a different era entirely; Writing a TSR was a right of passage. Sometimes just getting something to work without having any other motive was enough to do it.

A clever and small TSR might keep a copy of itself in memory and not require two floppies in the case of no hard drive. In comparison to today’s standards, it’s amazing what we did with 640k (or less!) of ram.
