In good faith, I’d love to know.

Democracy as Socrates or written by Plato would have said democracy is hard to succeed at as it’s ruled by many who may not have the education.. wisdom.. to run well for all. Read Ship of State.

A certain level of freedom of speech is required, or else it’s a pool of similar thinkers. A collective who everyone else must talk and think alike, for the good of the collective. See Ayn Rand.

Pretty much like downvoting, I get downvoted without knowing who or why and is a form of censorship and one or more are offended or just don’t like it. Just cuz you don’t like it doesn’t mean it should be downvoted.

My other comment here on YT shorts being useful is an example. A down vote and all I said is “ I learnt drums for a song I like from shorts. Blanket bans are not a solution”

Take care to not apply so much policy that group think and collectivism takes hold.

I'm curious -- let's say we have claude code hooked up to MCPs for jaeger, grafana, and the usual git/gh CLIs it can use out-of-the-box, and we let claude's planner work through investigations with whatever help we give it. Would TraceRoot do anything clever wrt the AI that such as a setup wouldn't/couldn't?

(I'm asking b/c we're planning a setup that's basically that, so real question.)

Thanks for sharing that example! That's exactly the kind of failure mode I worry about with pure democratic systems.

The "retaliation equilibrium" working initially is fascinating - shows that peer accountability can work at small scale. But the faction coordination problem seems almost inevitable as communities grow.

Makes me think the key might be preventing large factions from forming in the first place, rather than trying to make democracy work despite them.

There are a few.

Chris Owens just interviewed Jeremy Corbyn and it was really revealing.

Jordan Chariton/Status Coup gets out to communities after the mainstream media leaves and misses the aftermath.

Democracy Now! has been following the atrocities in Gaza nearly every day with personal accounts from people on the ground.

Medhi Hasan, Sam Seder, Robert Reich, David Pakman, Meidastouch, Malcolm Nance, and Thom Hartmann to name a few.

Another one particular to Israel is The Salukie who is a half Arab Israeli Jew who goes undercover to West Bank refugee camps to show what's really going on and how everyday people are treated on all sides.

I understand but there are trade-offs there.

Maybe a hybrid approach should be done byt breaking ABI in a so Core-supported language can cascade into so many places.

People say that Rust is great bc of that but that is just a trade-off and anyway there are olenty of dependencies like Boost, Abseil or others that can play that role anyways

More info:

> The animal belongs to the genus Eriovixia. It was discovered in 2015 in the Indian state of Karnataka by Javed Ahmed, Rajashree Khalap, and Sumukha Javagal. The discoverers of this new spider thought it resembled the Sorting Hat of the Harry Potter series, so they named it after Godric Gryffindor, the original owner of the Sorting Hat. [1]

> Meet Eriovixia gryffindori, a new species of spider described by me and my fellow researchers, from the Western Ghats of India, a global biodiversity hot-spot, and named after the magical sorting hat from J. K. Rowling's fabulous series of 'Harry Potter' books & films!

The worst case is when this mentality of "just update your code" leaks out to the rest of us. I'm still scarred from some of the samesite shenanigans, breaking useful (not ads) boxed software because they figured everyone on the internet could "just update" their websites within six months of them putting out a dev blog post.

It's just not an accurate view of how the world works.

> And no, it isn't clear to me that this contract term would hold up in court as Anthopic doesn't have copyright ownership in the AI output

They don't need copyright ownership of the AI output to make part of the the conditions for using their software running on their servers (API access) an agreement not to use it training a competing AI model.

There would have to be a law prohibiting that term, either in general or for a company in the specific circumstances Anthropic is in. (The “specific circumstances” thing is seen, e.g., when a term is otherwise permitted but used but a firm that is also a monopoly in a relevant market as a way of either defending or leveraging that monopoly, and thus it becomes illegal in that specific case.)

I think we are severely underestimating the computational complexity of animal brains by looking at short-term reactions and snap judgements, not deep thinking or long-term learning. Axons transmit electrical signals and that's what Bostrom is taking to be an "op." But they also transmit vesicles of mRNA and proteins directly from the cytoplasm of one neuron into another, which is an "op" of unimaginable complexity compared to a neuron simply firing (or any CPU instruction), and we have no clue what that means for cognition.

I have the same crank theory. I have shithouse typing technique - hands fly everywhere, whichever finger is closest, wrists move a fair bit, what's a home row? I stuck rubber o-rings under all my keys so bottoming out wasn't painful. My keyboard has the heaviest sprung switches i could find, and I'm still on the lookout for a heavier mechanism (e.g. literally a typewriter or piano type mechanism).

I also started learning piano at 4 and played daily until 25 or so. I still play other instruments but with different movements.

I am 35 and still have no hint of RSI or carpal tunnel (touch wood). I had a scare for a bit but turned out my mouse was just in a dumb position.

YMMV but the above informs my crank belief of 'move heaps, varied as much as possible, get strong fingers and forearms' being a viable approach.

N.B. A note on the bottoming out stuff: this was again inspired by my piano teacher who taught a technique of imagining pressing the piano keys 'through' the base, further than they move in reality. This was combined with the weight coming from your entire arm, fore, bicep, and shoulder, not from your fingers.

N.B.B. If anyone knows input methods that take this to extremes I'd love to know. I.E. something that involves moving your entire arm around. I've occasionally looked at jumbo-sized keyboard for those with learning and dexterity difficulties for example.

Because I never got a degree and all my experience is as a construction Electrician, I dont think its in my cards to actually make a transition to devlopment. However I really used to like making tutorials when I was younger. Ive gotten mixed reviews about my delivery, tone, been told Im not very confidence inspiring. If anyone has a few minutes to skip around a video or two, I'd really like to get raw, unapologetic feedback so I can start iterating and trying to fast-track my ability to create quality content.

Thanks for your time.

Speed testing Cerebras's insanely fast inference.

The first output totaled 847 lines, 30,499 bytes, in 33.461 seconds including TTFT, meaning Cerebras was able to output over 911 bytes per second on a task that involved reading and understanding source code for two golang files (part of the same package) totaling 939 lines and 25,315 bytes of input.

The second output totaled 3130 lines, 124,403 bytes, in 58.690 seconds including TTFT, meaning Cerebras was able to output over 2119 bytes per second on a task that involved producing a second, longer version of an existing file with 33.1k tokens worth of relevant information already present in the context window.

Needless to say, I'm thoroughly impressed, particularly with Cerebras' new "Cerebras Code" monthly subscription plans. The $50/mo subscription was used to perform this test. I am not sponsored by Cerebras, just a happy enthusiast.

This channel is not monetized by me, I am not seeking any kind of financial incentives from sharing this here, just wanted to carefully evaluate Cerebras' bold performance claims with a realistic code comprehension + documentation + modification workflow.

Hi, I’m Nathan. I’m a technical lead and software engineer with 8+ years of experience across ML infrastructure (LLMs/NLP), large-scale data systems, and backend development.

Location: Vancouver, BC Remote: Yes Willing to relocate: No Technologies: Python, Java, Kubernetes, FastAPI, PyTorch, Spark Résumé/CV: https://natpat.net/static/cv.pdf Email: nmtpatel7337 [at] gmail [dot] com

I’m looking for roles where I can apply my engineering skills to build impactful systems, while helping shape strong, collaborative teams and technical culture. I’ve led cross-functional teams of SWEs, AI researchers, and data scientists to develop and deploy complex ML systems - most recently, I led development of an RAG (LLM) search system used daily by thousands of RBC call center agents, saving millions annually. I’m looking to continue to grow in both engineering depth and team impact, while working with smart, curious people on meaningful problems.

> There's a tool I could have used to fix it, but it's accompanied by a message saying that if you use it without permission you'll be fired.

Sometimes I name certain APIs/function names/whatever with a "do_not_use_or_you_will_be_fired" suffix. Generally for hacks I don't want people to copy-pasta. I can't actually fire anyone, but it gets peoples attention (especially more junior folks).

Turkey is a good example here.

Erdogan had also fired the Central Bank Chief when he refused to lower the interest rates: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-48891658

and then kept firing: https://www.reuters.com/article/world/middle-east/turkeys-er...

https://www.reuters.com/article/business/the-last-straw-why-...

His stated aversion to interest rates is religious and it causes economic divide.

IMO, US might be on the same path albeit slower. This might become a revolving door if the calculation/facts from other sources continues to be bad. And once Jerome Powell leaves interest rates cuts will be pushed through making things worse.

Having a manager that knows how to properly employ you is important, sure. I was talking more about how you work with your teammates to get things done.

There's a place for lone wolves at some companies, but in my line of business you have to be able to work with engineers, project managers, electricians, as well as other integrators. Our projects are definitely team efforts. I make an effort to assign tasks based on people's strengths, but if you're hard for my team to work with, you're useless to me and I'll eventually be in the boss' office asking for you to be replaced.

Renewables will keep getting more efficient and cheaper to install, batteries will continue to get cheaper, at some point they'll crack fusion. Prices go negative or zero in several places already (West Texas wind energy overnight, solar in Chile). The question seems less "when will we get abundant, virtually free clean energy" and more "will we do it in time to avoid climate collapse".

Zellij handles this, if you click and drag vertically within a pane the selection will stay in that pane even if there's a different pane to either side. Copy happens when you un-click. (Or at least it does this with Wezterm. I wouldn't be surprised if some terminals don't support whatever voodoo zellij is doing to alter the selection behavior).

You can't select arbitrary columns within a pane (like you can in vim) but if I'm understanding you that's not what you're after anyhow.

Teen iPhone ownership is up to 88% (!) in the US.

I generally agree with what you're saying, and unlike Cook I don't find it "hard to imagine" life without iPhones (an augmented reality future isn't that far out to consider), but they have a long runway. Gen Z and Gen Alpha define "cool", and they are committed to the ecosystem.

> the university is not allowed to censor student speech based on content

Hold on, didn't tenured professors get fired literally based on content of their speech a few years back under the other administration? I am confused

And this does not have to be about censoring speech. There are rules of a place. As I said, you start obstructing a lecture, you get thrown out in a good university

If you are looking for someone to tinker around with your developer product and come up with innovative possibilities and use cases and communicate them, I would love to work with you. (Part time preferred)

I have been in the SaaS space for the last 12 years (B2B SaaS - 6 years). Though I am an engineer at heart, I have worked on building different departments at Tars(HelloTars) for the past (5 years, 11 months), building the engineering team, building the design team (2 years), leading partnership efforts (1 year), and also building the marketing team (1 year). Presently, I have been tinkering around with novel approaches in Reasoning AI (built on top of the LLM layer) and have a different take on the approach than how most folks are building it.

I would love to share learnings and understand your priority problems even if you are not interested in immediate hiring.

I certainly don't think that profit would be required. Many of the massive tech companies that exist today went through long periods of time were they focused on growth and brand no profits for many years even post IPO.

I won't pretend to know exactly how the AI landscape will look in the future, but at this point it's pretty clear that there's going to be massive revenue going to the sector, and Moore's law will continue to crank.

I see what you're saying though. In particular is first generation gigs data centers might be black holes of an investment, considering in the not too distant future AI compute will be fully commoditized and 10x cheaper.

Omg, I've been thinking about how to achieve this. Feel a bit stupid reading it's a standard option.. Thanks! Since earlier this year I've upgraded my hardware, I'm on the wild linker, the Cranelift backend and I've switched from cargo clippy to cargo check for the rust analyzer (with clippy running under a shortkey and as pre-commit).

I have a backend and frontend for my project, and the typescript frontend with its sub-second feedback cycle definitely helps for staying in a flow-state. With all of the improvements above, rust is still at 3 to 10 seconds.
