They're really struggling to keep their last 9 of uptime.

Does redundancy even matter if the end result is still poorer uptime?

Exactly! Also operating "at scale" is only impressive if you can do it with comparable speed and uptime, it doesn't mean much if every page takes seconds to load and it falls over multiple times a day lol

Frankly, it's insulting enough when someone sends me copypasta from ChatGPT in the form of an email. It's even more so when it's a whole book.


A genuinely impressive effort, but alas, still missing some pretty critical features (const, floating point, bools, inline, anonymous structs in function args).


My bad! I didn't see that. Thanks!


Anyone know how to get past the paywall?


The New Yorker is available via Libby electronically if your library subscribes. In Santa Clara county I get it this way. So we pay library taxes and get access, not technically free. In plus side, a lot more content and the cartoons, on minus side, have to filter a lot of New York only culture and other articles for your interests.


Archive link in the post body?

(Apologies if that's been edited in after your comment)


Lynx works well.


Pay for the work they did?


Out the window with you!


I believe they do, but the author seems to focus on OpenAI since they're more of a household name.


People said the exact same thing about AR furniture, and I'm 99% sure no one uses that.


It seems like 99% of apartment listings in the city of New York are virtually staged with AR furniture


That essay generator is pretty cool. There are definitely a lot of undergrads whose essays look about the same.


There is no dearth of midwittery in the non-STEM fields. I admit this is elitist and downright snobbish, but I am disgusted that somebody else can get a degree from the same university as me in a non-STEM major and piggyback off of prestige they didn't create.

In my opinion, it's stolen valor.


Perhaps you should value knowledge over status?


It doesn't matter what I value. The people who wanna hire me for jobs or invest in my fund value status.

There's a reason companies hire people they don't need: to make themselves look bigger to investors and in the case of law firms, clients.

Analyzing complex systems from first principles and challenging decisions that have no good reason is a noble cause, but it's only useful if you have the authority to make the changes. I'm not dictator of the world, I don't get to dictate how customers, clients, or employers shall make their business and hiring decisions.
