https://mapofmetal.com/ was always one of my favorite (and I don't even listen to metal).

It matters if you're going to call it an "interesting test".

Is it? Or has ChatGPT read the answer before.

Use a stack? LIFO.

As long as you have capacity to keep it mostly empty, it's fine. When requests backup, at least some people will still get quick responses, instead of making everyone suffer.

in ways very stupid simple people can understand

The problem is rarely the ability to understand. It is the ability (or desire) to listen that many lack.

It's 14 years old at this point, but here you go: https://www.ohthehugemanatee.net/2011/07/gpgl-reference-cour...

Seconded. My Silhouette is great. I even emailed them and received a copy of the GPGL docs one time. It wasn't full on support, but they were willing to give me a start.

The first thing I programmed was having it draw a hilbert curve and it worked great!

Why is that stupid? They did get lucky. They are acknowledging that, had they used that, they would have had problems. And now they will work to be more prepared.

Acknowledging that one still has risks and that luck plays a factor is important.

Who's to say they didn't?

Writing a follow up post is certainly valuable for raising awareness to anyone who had already read the original erroneous article.

You gotta start by typing your password into a comment. Like this: ****.

I feel like saying that is supports AI players, but not having a simple, already hosted example is a disservice. Even tic tac toe, or go fish would be a nice hook to help people understand what it actually delivers.

It's worth clicking through and reading details on each one before you commit. Most of them are quite complete, but some only support a handful of devices or features. You can also get a sense if the control is local (i.e. no internet connection) or cloud based.

Nah. I live in Boston. I strongly prefer public transit, but I'll take driving here over most other cities, any day of the week.

The _road layout_ is awful, but drivers are pretty cooperative on the whole. Certainly more than my years driving in DC, for instance.

Granted, you need to be commmital here: if you put on your turn signal, drivers will generally make space for you to get in - briefly - but you need to be quick to take advantage of the gap. I could see Waymo being too slow to the draw for this, based on what I've seen online.

Importantly - you don't have to know the odds of the coin ahead of time, or which side is more likely. You only need to know that it is consistent.

I did a bit more digging and think I might have gotten the story a tiny bit muddled, but maybe not?

Most the articles I find talk about the barber vs doctor distinction, but they also all bring up a story about a proposal to add dentistry to the University of Maryland's medical school.

Evidently this proposal was put before the state legislature, was rejected, and thus was born the Baltimore College of Dentistry. From their own website:

With the founding of the college, dentistry became a profession separate from medicine. Dentistry could have become a medical specialty if the Maryland legislature had approved a request to incorporate it as a department at the University of Maryland’s medical school, but the request was rejected owing to cost. Dentistry then set its own course.

From what I can see, people seem to point to this story as a historical waypoint for the division of the two in the US.

There is some history here, at least in the US.

As I recall, when "modern medicine" was first forming, there was a push to make it part of what we would consider standard medical care, but another, more influential party decided (incorrectly) that teeth weren't living tissue and should be excluded.

The divide took hold and we ended up with the system we have today, where teeth are independent of the rest of the medical field. It's especially noticeable when you have dentists, orthodontists, and oral surgeons, each separate specialties referring between each other, but only oral surgeons falling under medical insurance.

Every time I see this take, I am caught by the subtle arrogance that we are doing anything meaningfully differently in our own minds.

Hyperbole aside, I do think we do more than an LLM with our reasoning abilities, but it I suspect it is a mash of these capabilities that result in what we think of as our consciousness. I am almost certain there is a part of our minds that is "just couning votes".

Outside of the few that seemed cartoonish, the key signs seemed to be:

1) Furriness that seems a little too soft and fuzzy.

2) Overdone bokeh or depth-of-field.

3) Insect on a flower.

That's mentioned at the bottom: "However, liquid oxygen and boron fullerenes (B80) are paramagnetic."

The description: "no dependencies."

The first line: "import numpy as np"

The metaphor we use for optimization is “low hanging fruit” which no orchard owner would ever do.

This is just over-extending the metaphor.

The term has existed long before software was a thing, and refers simply to grabbing something that's easy. That's it.

The same goes for tree-shaking. The author does the same thing - over-extends the metaphor. Tree shaking simply means giving everything a jiggle and seeing what comes loose. It's easy to understand and shouldn't be read into any more than that.

Exactly this. FB topped out around 520,000 reports. Google topped out around 1,400. That's a massive difference in scale.

Both are above their baselines, but I bet some is just mis-reports, or increases in awareness due to more people checking in.

Meta seems to be the only one really affected from what I can tell.

is it a really a bad thing?

It's great for the company. Not so much for the people.

It's a matter of perspective.

The bullshit job phenomenon is the problem here.

Perhaps, but who's fault is that? Sounds like the company's problem. Who suffers from the layoffs however? Per your example, not the company.

That's first sentence:

Now, you might argue that the number of seconds required to research, acquire, and implement keyhole lubricant would easily outweigh the amount saved through optimal key insertion — and you'd probably be right.

[Disclaimer: I am not a philosopher]

The ship can shrink as much as it can grow. If you replace a wooden plank on it, the discarded wood is no longer part of it. And if you disassemble it entirely, the "event" is no longer happening, and the ship no longer exists.

It's analogous to any other "real event" you might think of. If you have a party, it starts when people show up and ends when people leave. Guests can come and go all the while.

The point isn't to define a strict beginning and end, however. It's to point out that the ship isn't defined by its original parts. It's defined by the confluence of parts that continuously exist and are recognized as being a cohesive entity.

The opposite. It's identity is really an "event" called the ship of Theseus. The effect continues to happen regardless of the specific matter.

I know most of this, but this is a nice, down to earth summary and refresher for someone like me who doesn't actually make decisions about encryption in my day to day.

I'd be curious how it reads to a layman.

Where do you get the teeth?

We collect teeth mostly from dentist, dental schools all legally and ethically sourced.

Curious. If I was having teeth pulled and later found out my teeth were given to this company without consent, that would feel... creepy at best.

Yes. "Private" in this case means that you can't expect consistent behavior from one system to the next.
