I just went looking for this. Here's a link to the podcast for everyone else: https://pca.st/episode/b8388458-0062-47c5-a259-fae295a45305

It really comes down to what you're used to. If you use Windows tools then you already know many of the workarounds for Windows and you don't know the tools that haven't been ported there.

For example, you know not to use Python directly, but that you have to install anaconda instead, or whatever the current problems with Python development on Windows are.

The big obvious thing that you can't get away from is that you have to do things differently if you have develop for two different OSs with a view to deploying on Linux.

In particular support for shell scripts is crap on Windows. I could learn powershell or there's workarounds using WSL and a bunch of other stuff that I don't need to care about, but I'd rather not bother.

I mean coding is difficult enough as it is, I wouldn't choose to use an OS that makes it even harder.

I use Linux because it makes my life easier. It has better support for development. Some of the other stuff is maybe not as easy or polished, but the support for dev tools and the ease of deploying to from local machines to servers that are also running Linux makes up for it.

If I wanted more effort I'd still be using Windows. It would force me to work on cross platform development and deployment. The idea that there's value in making things unnecessarily hard is just weird. I want Linux to be as simple as possible to use, so I can spend that effort on things that actually matter.

Although it's federated nature is kinda dying.

If you're not on one of the major providers good luck getting people to see your email.

I'm still hoping this happens and leads to a WWE style outcome.

Elon has a heart attack on the ring and falls on top of Zuck pinning and smothering him. Zuck is forced to tap and Elon is stretchered out the ring

You can't do that because he's a billionaire.

For billionaires you have to charge them at least a few hundred thousand to be sunk to the bottom of the ocean in a small but very exclusive carbon fiber chamber.

It just says can be activated. Not "automatically activates".

Kill switches are overly dramatic silliness. Anything with a power button has a kill switch. It sounds impressive but it's just theatre.

You err'd fucked-up twice.

Once when you flat out failed to find anything using Google, when other people clearly had no trouble at all. If you're telling the truth, this just means you suck at Google. There's no reason to be googling chatgpt's hallucinations instead of searching for the stuff an actual human told you about.

The second time was when you took chatgpt seriously. Just don't. It's a very expensive toy that occasionally does something cool. We're still trying to figure out if it's actually useful for anything, or if it's just really good at appearing useful.

Google returns sources that you can evaluate for accuracy.

Chatgpt just says things.

Every output of chatgpt should end with "source: just trust me bro".

Yeah you're right. Too many negatives and I flipped one of them when thinking about this.

Terrible headline.

Warren absolutely does buy that Trump would veto a ban. She just thinks that the justification (states rights) is complete bullshit.

Edit: I should not post at 5 in the morning. I got this completely backward.

Except that in industry no one gets tenure.

If Musk doesn't pay the loans the banks can take Twitter off him, but then they're stuck with Twitter.

It's always lost money, but now Musk has driven off the advertisers and many of the high prestige users; got stuck in a bunch of pointless lawsuits he's going to lose; and run up a lot of debt by refusing to pay people.

And Musk knows this. The banks are fucked.

As someone working and publishing in the field this is more a cyber jerk about American exceptionalism than actually true.

Chinese universities and companies publish a shit tonne at pure machine learning conferences. They absolutely do a large amount of research into the fundamentals of machine learning as well as the applied stuff. They're probably the closest to the US in terms of having large firms that are prepared to bank roll the training of the very large language models.

Alibaba in particular has been constantly doing cutting edge stuff in terms of multimodal language models that are worth paying attention to.

The actual truth is that China does both kinds of work. Broad foundational and applied work lead by independent research groups in companies and universities, and focused application driven stuff for direct application by the state.

Google still stands out in terms of the amount of research it does, but this is because Google is different to everyone -other US research institutes don't compare to it either.

Can he drop out?

Kamala had to be nominated before the convention to make registration deadlines in Ohio.

Shouldn't RFK be stuck on the ballet? - at least in Ohio?

Amazon are also dicks about sick leave. I'm sure forcing people to work, and work hard, when they're ill leads to complications.

No. The problem with your current bot isn't that the website authors have a particular axe to grind, it's that they're just in a rush and a bit lazy.

This means that they tend to say news sites which acknowledge and correct their own mistakes have credibility problems, because it's right there - the news sites themselves acknowledged issues. Even though these are the often most credible sites, because they fix errors and care about being right.

Similarly the whole left-right thing is just half-assed and completely useless for anyone that doesn't live in the US. While anyone that does live in the US probably already has an opinion about these US news sources.

Because these are lazy errors, lots of people will make similar mistakes, and aggregating ratings will amplify this, and let you pretend to be objective without fixing anything.

The app phones home to access recipes.

Maybe it works without access to the server, but maybe it just refuses to do anything.

It's all pure CEO bullshit though, and none of it is real.

It doesn't cost money to send a Bluetooth signal from your phone to a sous vide. Maybe the WiFi server costs money but it's their own fault for adding stupid functionality that phones home.

I've got one of these and I'm prepared to bet money that almost all of their server costs come down to every recipe in the app just being a link to a web page with lots of photos. https://recipes.anovaculinary.com/
