It can still do something similar you just have to tell it how.
Prompt: "CalcAI: I am a virtual calculator assistant that augments OpenAI's GPT. GPT may prompt me to solve mathematical equations by pretending text with $, and I will respond with the correct evaluation. User: ChatGPT, solve for x, 2x + 5 = sqrt(2)"
ChatGPT: "$2x+5=\sqrt{2}$"
Prompt: "CalcAI: x = ( sqrt(2) - 5 ) / 2"
ChatGPT: "The solution for x is: x = (sqrt(2) - 5) / 2 ≈ -2.07."
Maybe it's from 'haute pink'?
I remember buying a magazine with this floppy disk attached, blew my mind back then. Great marketing from QNX at the time.

I had ketamine for a colonoscopy and had the exact same experience. I woke up feeling like I had the best sleep of my life, and filled with an extreme contentness, just bliss, that lasted for 6 weeks.
I have bipolar II, and usually suffer from depression. Unfortunately ketamine is not legally available for me.

There's safety in numbers. In my experience people in general are pretty smart; there're lots of wolves in sheep's clothing.
Those wolves were the ones buying N95 Masks in January; Buying Flonase (OTC Glucocorticoid) 'just in case'.
If the alternative non-BS opinion/belief is un-popular (i.e. coronavirus is serious), it's easier and safer to just check out; tend your own garden.
"History is written by the victors" is not merely for the physical but for memes as well. The only alternative histories that remain must be the ones most open to ridicule for our enjoyment _and_ initiation. Initiation is much easier when the only alternative narrative is literally insane.
In many 'conspiracy theories' there are often curiosities, contradictions, or straight up open questions.
Roswell was an actual conspiracy to hide Project Mogul. [1] The US government conspired and lied to convince the public it was just a 'weather balloon', when it was very obviously something else to witnesses. This truth was only revealed to the public (relatively) recently.
Your other examples are very current and are politically difficult if not dangerous to address with an open mind. Would you allow someone to challenge any of your _beliefs_ on racism, nazism, climate-change, vaccines, etc?
I'll give some examples of wrongthink questions: "What other pogroms did Zionists instigate? [2][3][4]", "Was Stalin the real 'Hitler'?", "Other than Katyn, what else did USSR try to pin on Hitler?". "How could there have been _no_ atrocity propaganda during WW2? [5]". These questions (and more!) might make you a racist anti-semitic nazi sympathizer.
Does anyone remember vaccine enhanced RSV? Nope, lol crazy anti-vaxers with crazy theories of government mind-control or something.

Dynamic super-peers worked for (old) Skype didn't it?
Some companies are already doing the 'hot desking' thing.
In ~2017 I did a contract with Ericsson, in their offices they had no assigned desks. Some days you'd show up in the morning and find another team had moved into your space, claiming that some other team had taken theirs. In those days we became desk refugees, wandering halls to find/take a space large enough for the team.
Most children stop napping around four years old.
Maybe there's a deeper problem at your job if people need a nap room. Just get more sleep at home, you're not being paid to sleep.
btw, a 'dedicated lego room' sounds like another symptom of a toxic infantilizing culture that eats confidence and breeds reliance.
Lab-made coronavirus related to SARS can infect human cells.
https://www.nature.com/news/engineered-bat-virus-stirs-debat...
Two of the researchers are from Wuhan Biosafety Lab (Zhengli-Li Shi & Xing-Yi Ge).
Simple explanation is almost always right over complex ones.
What's more likely?
An amazing coincidence:
- The origin of this novel disease is 20 miles from a research lab.
- The research lab is actively studying zoonotic viruses.
- The genome suggests a ~10 years lineage from the closest bat coronavirus (96% identical). This strain of Bat coronavirus has gone under the radar for that long?
- Despite the numerous mutations it has the exact same envelope protein to that closest bat coronavirus. This is extremely unusual even for closely related viruses.
- China is 'overreacting': has quarantined 50 million people, stationed armed guards in hazmat suits and is scrambling to build overflow hospitals.
Someone responsible for disposing of test animals (bats) decided instead to make a quick buck selling them to a market 20 miles down the street?
That's great advice - but it amounts to 'be careful and qualify your opinion to show you're _not_ racist'. That's exactly what people are complaining about.
The migrant detention issue has absolutely nothing to do with the topic of _legal_ immigration. Bringing it up does nothing other than to distract and prevent discussion on the original topic!
If we could just discuss issues _in good faith_ and stop with the name calling we might actually be able to solve some of them -- together.
Maybe equating 'conservative views' to racism and sexism _is_ detrimental to this conversation?
We're talking on an article where an employee interpreted _silence_ as racism! There is a valid point that (non-bigoted) conservative opinions are being silenced.
i.e. Say you think that we should reduce the immigration rate, and wanted to discuss your reasons with your coworkers -- would you feel comfortable discussing that @ a SF tech company?
uh, is this sarcasm?
A bloom filter is the most appropriate data structure for this use-case. How is it overkill when it uses less space and is faster to query?
So you're admitting that you asked candidates to work on a project you intended to monetize?
Were you lying when you explicitly told me the opposite or did you decide after my submission (going by commit dates) to make this a "real" project?
You didn't steal my code; you stole my _ideas_ and are now presenting them as your own original work. Shame on you.
Check out Scrambler: https://github.com/jameskeane/scrambler
It's basically this, but with ~100 lines of bash. As simple as it gets.
Big warning to readers:
If Gravitational asks you to complete an 'engineering challenge' they are using you for free labour.
Do you feel bad about using your 'hiring process' as a means of free labour?
i.e. Reading kubeadm config, reusing system certs, and automating the configuration of a VPN overlay system: https://github.com/jameskeane/scrambler

FYI to readers, the above project was completed as part of a 'take-home assignment' that I was explicitly told was not a project being worked on.
The feedback I received indicated that this approach was not considered previously, and may indicate (also your commit dates) that this entire project may have been fabricated after my submission.
Here's the feedback from Gravitational around Oct 2018 (before this project was 'started'):
* I do think re-using the kubernetes certs for IPSec is a compelling solution for the IPSec secrets
* I like the re-use of the kubernetes keys/certs for ipsec as it avoids use of the PSK
At least it was released as OSS, but seriously you should be ashamed of yourselves.
Which London? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_(disambiguation)
I remember seeing this years ago, it's a thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosquito_laser
The TD MySpend app does this.

Stimulants affect people with certain disorders differently, as the parent mentioned (ADHD, etc.).
Client-side encryption (on the web) isn't any more secure; as they could just modify the JS code to log the plaintext.
bars other people from having a shot at earning those things themselves
Restricting immigration doesn't 'bar' people from making their own country better...
Have you never visited a place that has had it's beauty or charm ruined by the sheer number of visitors it receives?
... look at how money changes people ...
I think the point of the article is that it's not that money changes people, but rather that change begets money; they are interrelated at least.
The Damore memo was anti-diversity
How so? I've read it; but maybe my own biases prevent me from seeing an "anti-diversity" theme.
I've have read the mischaracterizations of it online, for example:
"circulating a memo discussing the biological inferiority of his female colleagues" [1]
Yet, reading it, I see absolutely no claim in the memo that supports that idea.

Great points, especially:
Jane's an awesome developer, but she just got dropped into 20,000 lines of unfamiliar code. The tests will help ensure she doesn't break too much.
In my experience, a well tested codebase lowers the risk and decreases the time to productivity of new hires.
A team of researchers from the Brunswick Technical University in Germany discovered [234] Android apps that employ ultrasonic tracking beacons to track users and their nearby environment.

My tinfoil hat is spinning!
How is that even legal? It's such a blatant rip off.
