> 3. Could pretyy easily cause anotger ice age if miscalculated

Could they? At least for stratospheric aerosol injection it would be easy to just stop doing it if things seemed like they were tipping. It doesn't happen _that_ fast, we'd have time to notice and react.

A cup of mustard powder? What does it feel like and how did you come across this?

That's neat, thanks!

I’ve used it on the backend to validate and clean up tens of thousands of documents from Elasticsearch queries, and the time spent in Zod was very much noticeable

Could you give an example or two of “more than that”?

> Typically the scam is that an offshore consultancy wants to place some roles to collect wages. Many of these agencies are from collectivist cultures, so in the mind of the agency, they all work in our project. This may not be true, but the agency sees the position as theirs, not the recruit's. So they typically don't the issue with putting recruit A in front of the interviewer and then slotting recruit B in after the position is secured.

I've run into this with a Ukrainian consultancy. It wasn't even a scam. They told us up-front that they were prepared to pull their best engineers from some other clients and put them on our team in order to win our business. Our obvious reaction: and when you get another opportunity, you will pull those engineers from us and we'll get the B-team, just like you're about to do to someone else.

Naturally we didn't move forward with them (this was before the war, so very lucky decision)

Interesting looking headphones - I'd be interested to read your review of them

How many of those people are using an LLM other than one supplied by OpenAI?

How would you define “ready” here?

Tortured?

Siri today is capable of doing anything I really want it to.

If it only it could f*ckin understand me! Whisper (or whatever the ChatGPT app uses) runs rings around. Basically zero errors.

For me they just need to fix the goddamn voice recognition performance.

Plug in an Apple TV?

> Are there risks associated with sending DB info off to these third parties?

You can use AWS Bedrock and get access to Claude, and then just have something that proxies from your tool over to AWS. It'll work provided you can set a provider URL for the LLM.

So provided that you trust AWS you can use at least Claude (the best LLM anyway [at least today]) with confidence.

> Whoever had the reigns when Apple finally reversed these decisions and made the M1 MBP

They shoulda kept the touchbar and restored the functions keys (including restoring volume controls etc to function keys). That would have been amazing. There was so much opportunity for cool custom functionality with touchbar, but it needs to be dedicated to that, not doing double-duty as physical keys.

Tired vote-bait quote.

This is how hosted Elasticsearch works today, too. Really mess up your ES? Good luck with the web UI!

They do have a good product, but "they accumulate tech debt for years, all their devs leave, now they can't move away" is the story of the place I worked at a few years ago. The database was such a disorganized, inconsistent mess that no-one had the stomach (or budget) to try and get off it.

> alking to ChatGPT with Advanced Voice mode or listening a podcast during a walk or bike ride or so is a really nice experience with these.

I've recently thought that a killer bit of hardware would be a way to interact with an LLM by voice without other people thinking you're talking to them and saying "what?". I was imagining the return of those classic bluetooth headseats, or some combo of earbud and throat mic, but the Ray Bans seem like they might be an option, too.

> Watch sensations come and go while refraining from moving your attention in reaction to what you're watching.

This sounds like standard "mindfulness" meditation, to me.

Sounds useful - do you still practice samatha meditation? If not then what made you stop?

Yeah +1 for NextDNS. It's so easy to setup and manage, and works really well.

Even better: He escaped by hiding in a music equipment box that was carried onto a private jet

I learned about the idea of Generative UI from a Sharp Talk podcast, and it's stuck with me ever since.

Many SaaS (especially the complex ones, which are the also the most important ones) have a tonne of UI often imposing a huge amount of non-work work onto users - all the clicking you have to do as part of entering or retrieving data, especially if the UI flow doesn't fit exactly what you're trying to do at that moment. An example might be quicly creating an epic and a bunch of related tickets in Jira, and having them all share some common components.

A generative UI would be able to construct a custom UI for the particular thing the user is trying to do at any point in time. I think it's a really powerful idea, and it could probably be done today by smartly using eg Jira's APIs.

The ability to span applications would be even more powerful. Done well it might even kill the need to maintain complex integrations between related Saas (eg how some product development application might need to sync data to/from Jira or ADO) by having the AI just keep track of changes and move them from one system to another.

Once it gets to the point where the Gen UI is go-to system for interactions you have to wonder what all the designers and UI builders at the myriad SaaS will be doing...

I've enjoyed a great many of the games I've played lately :)

> Why do people use this phrase?

Google are being depicted as the bad guys (devil) in the original comment, and the person you're replying to was advocating for Google's stated position of trying to improve user security. They were being an advocate for the devil. Is this not pretty much a perfect use of the saying?

> why not accept attribution to yourself?

Because this is Google's claim, being repeated here by their advocate.

> If not, then perhaps you should make a counterargument to balance out the "Devil".

The counterargument was the very first comment saying that the changes are really about adblocking.

Google's statement on Manifest V3:

> Manifest V3 aims to be the first step in our platform vision to improve the privacy, security, and performance of extensions. Along with the platform changes, we are working to give users more understanding and control over what extensions are capable of. The changes will take several years to complete.

> The Handmaid's Tale, a good book, you should read it sometime.

Yes, I've read it, excellent book.

> What are you trying to argue anyway?

That "life imitates art" is not a generally true statement.

Which art? The one that's cherry-picked? I read Harry Potter but I haven't seen too many wizards or dragons around lately.

> How is it undermining a currency and distorting a financial system to allow people to exchange their OWN hard-earned money for another currency?

In practice, it's because the government of that country says that it is.
