@jonny every dimension that has to be the same length can be turned into a tupel with fixed length. That won't work for "has to be longer than", but for equality it should work
So yes its ridiculous that the IRS makes us tell it how much money we have when it already knows, but how come the default for every employer ive ever had is to OVERPAY your taxes throughout the year and get that money back later. What kind of interest free loan is that
My latest bad idea thats actually good: what if instead of a schema generating a python module, what if the schema was a python module by hooking into the import machinery
Great interview with Erik Brynjolfsson on the potential impact of AI on the economy.
"In particular, if the technologies are mainly used to [...] replace humans with machines, it is likely to lead to lower wages and more concentration of wealth and power as capital substitutes for labour. But, if we use the technology mainly to augment our skills, to do new things, then it is more likely to lead to widely shared prosperity and higher wages."
And also: "Current tax policy and investment credits encourage capital over labour. Marginal tax rates on capital are about half of what they are on labour [...]. That biases entrepreneurs towards trying to find capital-heavy solutions instead of ones that involve labour. I do not see a public policy reason for having that kind of a bias. That is just one example of where the policy needs to take into account what it is doing and how it is shaping the trajectory of technological advances."
Answer: neither. It was 1.44 x 1000 x 1024 = 1,474,560 bytes.
The reason was that the standard density single sided 3.5” disk took 360 KB, back then when KB usually meant 1024 bytes (the IEC standardized KB to be 1000 bytes only in 1998). This doubled to 720 KB when the disk was used double sided, and it doubled once again to 1440 KB when HD was used. And then 1440 KB was turned into 1.44 MB, thus mixing the 1000 and the 1024.
Gonna share some truths that are taboo to talk about, and everyone is gonna angrily at me about (I’m going to drink this mead then have a nap, don’t bother):glasses frames are a monopoly, but you can buy pretty nice glasses from China if you have a prescription for like $20, I have like 11 - look at Vooglam ~ nobody actually gives a shit if you go to the glamorous restaurant alone, as long as you tip well and are polite - in fact you’ll get better drinks at the bar~ the secret to doing a lot of stuff as an adult, like hobbies or going places, is just asking. Nobody gives a shit if you tip well and you’re polite. You can go almost wherever. You can finger paint. Whatevs.~ life is too short for shit beer & liquor~ life is too short for shit men, love~ there will be other loves even though it seems giant ~ trans rights are human rights and I’ll officiate your wedding ~ local elections matter ~ you should be seeing a therapist~ if you haven’t worn it in two years, donate it, darling~ people at bars want to tell you about their jobs and hobbies, and they’re all interesting~ video games and D&D are real life skills~ find the fitness that you can do long term~ no fad diets~ you don’t have to know how to code or watch Star Wars to be a great IT person~ if you ever have or think you have a serious health problem in America, understand our healthcare is shit and you need to research it yourself and then get like 3 opinions minimum. Nobody will look out for you like you do.~ you should probably wear the mask~ if you have ovaries that work you can just take birth control forever and never have a period, there are some health caveats but it’s mostly sorta kinda just a stigma not to. The military does this.~ if you have ovaries that work find an gynecologist who is generally not an asshole, life is too short for checking with your nonexistent husband ~ if your doctor harps on your bmi and nothing else, then get a new doctor, before you die. Literally.~ it’s a good night if you get home safe, brush your teeth, and take an aleve~ life is too short to penny pinch instead of living, because soon we’ll be gone~ you look perfect in that outfit to everyone except you ~ life is too short for shit jobs ~ ask how other people are doing, and listen~ genuinely care about what happens to other people because it will happen to you
Are there any RSS Readers that are trying to integrate ActivityPub too? Pondering the glut of email newsletters in our inboxes these days, and wondering if we are due for an RSS Reader renaissance, except with a fediverse twist this time…
@RandomCanuck@ricmac ah, gotcha! I thought a Vivaldi browser is a (single user) instance, which is what I'm looking for. Not merely an instance run by Vivaldi.
Ok, kids are on the bus, time to get a professor sweater on, make another cup of tea, and be MEGA PRODUCTIVE today - meetings and reading proposals and a colloquium talk and writing things I said I'd write a long time ago.... I will do it all! (Maybe.)
@sundogplanets is sciency drama 1) human drama with scientists being the humans or 2) science being stubborn and experiments or engineering not doing what theory says it should?
Comparing output from ChatGPT with articles from Wikipedia: "participants perceive LLM-generated content as clearer and more engaging while on the other hand they are not identifying any differences with regards to message's competence and trustworthiness."
Maybe not surprising, you argue well for why it is the case.
I'm saying it's bad.
Equating trustworthiness with readability will be a terrible strategy in the coming times. And given that a lot of people do so, it will be very bad for society.
It's so interesting to see that the comments are not representative of the voters at all. The comments are all about the greatness of Vanilla, but the votes go for chocolate
