I agree with you that it's subjective. Testing logic vs. art is going to bring in this kind of problem to the surface (how do you test art in a comparable way to how you test logic?). This is why I wrote that noticing the thoughts made me take a step back from my own projections (my subjectivity). That's the whole point.

There are no edits here. After the first couple lines which are prompt, I typed the “human” lines and GPT-3 generated the “AI” ones.

But I also wouldn’t say that it’s very close to passing the phone screen. It isn’t actually getting a correct solution to the problem, despite me giving it several opportunities to correct itself. And this is pretty easy for a phone screen problem. More of a warmup. The answer is just one line of code, and for a full phone screen problem you might expect someone to write 10-15 lines of code.

Still, IMO it is impressive how close it comes.

I've been saying this for years - especially as humans are essentially a littoral species (culturally, at least - I'm not referring to the Aquatic Ape Hypothesis!). Most of our ancient history lies just off shore under a very few tens of metres of water. It's right there, entirely unseen. With recent post on HN referring to 'spontaneous' cultural developments within a tight timeframe around the world, I wonder how many answers could be wrought if we were ony able to see a lot more from a little off-shore.
Just looking at annual pay, lets say you pay devs a reasonable 75K USD in Chattanooga. Thats 56 Lakh INR annual pay in India. You can get a top engineer for that kind of pay.

This doesn't even account for the difficulty in hiring an engineer of the same caliber in Chattanooga and all the associated overhead like health insurance, etc.. which are much lower in India.

If you already have experience building a high quality engineering team in India (thus know how to overcome cultural barriers), its pretty much a no-brainer.
I think the firecake eaters had perhaps 30% more calories available to them (assuming their firecakes were cooked adequately), so they might not have been the ones straggling. But if a soldier traded his flour to the locals for booze, that would be a different story.
That wasn't my decision though - the macOS cloud providers made that decision for me. They all work like that.

Heh. SF has a lot of problems these days--to the point where I'm quite a bit less enthusiastic about visiting it than I used to be. However, I suspect a lot of the "What a s*hole" reaction and general negativity you get from a lot of business travelers in particular is that they're mostly working and staying in the immediate vicinity of the Moscone which is basically the armpit of the city. (Which one might reasonably not expect to be the case especially with the Civic Center and main shopping area there too.)
I've never seen butter in a tub before. We get weird "spreadable" vegetable-based butter substitutes in tubs. Some British people call it margarine but that's incorrect as margarine comes in solid blocks like butter (it's uncommon these days as it's no longer really needed).

$3.8k per month disposable income per person?!

Wow.

What's the median gross income, and level of tax, that is based on?
Just because rent seekers spend their money does not make them productive members of society. In nature parasites have their own parasites, which can again have their own parasites. I suppose in a zero sum economy rent seeking doesn't hurt the economy (just certain members of the economy), but in a positive sum economy, if non-productive rent seekers are taking money from productive people this will cause the economy to be worse than it could have been. If people who would otherwise be productive are lured into rent seeking by the potential profits then it's a double loss. Not only are they taking capital from productive people that could have been used to create more wealth, but they themselves could have been producing wealth instead of being a drag on wealth creation.

There are certainly situations where organizations that seem like rent seekers are not entirely rent seekers, though. Government is the main example. Taxes can seem like a drag on wealth creation, and sometimes they are, but they also fund infrastructure, education, and stability, which are wealth multipliers.

The issue is also complicated by the fact that the world economy is very connected, but economic growth is often measured on a per country, corporation, or even individual basis. Also, aggregate wealth is not the be-all end-all metric. Wealth redistribution can sometimes lead to greater aggregate happiness, even if the amount of wealth stays the same or even decreases.

Overall, though, I think that the majority of rent seeking hurts the economy and the people in the economy more than it helps, but I would be very interested to see empirical data showing otherwise.

Right.

> Universities were being founded, and scholars in Western Europe began to pore over ancient texts as well as learned writings from the Muslim world. Some of these presented complex systems of magic that claimed to draw on astral forces or conjure powerful spirits. Gradually, these ideas began to gain intellectual clout.

Recently I was assigned a project team of five people. What really worked well for us was hanging out in a Discord Server most of the time during normal work hours, although everyone was muted.

If someone had a question or needed some collaboration input they would just unmute themselves and start talking. Usually a few seconds later others would also unmute and join the conversation. If more discussion was needed we would switch from our main channel to a private channel.

This setup worked really well for us and we liked the low friction way of quickly talking to someone without messaging them and setting up a call.

But the portability was hit or miss. And the boom part could be a problem in certain situations.

Thus the need for a much smaller (more portable), and more personal (headphones) device.

> Why should people create new standards for HTTPS and URLs simply for Google's benefit?

Because of the exact reasons that people are complaining about in this very thread: they want NYT to control the content and display the domain name appropriately, but they want to serve it from Google servers and allow for eager prefetching without leaking private details.

Today it would be easily possible if NYT just gave Google their private cert, but then Google would be able to serve any content they want as NYT. With the proposed solution they can display the content NYT wants without being able to serve arbitrary other content.

I had the great fortune to get my start programming as an REU for George. We were visualizing non-Euclidean spaces in VR, in the UIUC CAVE around the turn of the millenium. He also had an animated (minimax) sphere eversion with special audio cues that would play when interesting things happened. His website is still up, and I think some of his more recent REUs have been working on WebGL versions. Only about 5 percent of the math stuck, since I was not a math major, but I really came to appreciate affine transformations.
What I’m saying is that people get into the field of biblical archeology to find evidence that validates their religious viewpoints, and more particularly and insidiously people _fund_ biblical archeology for that reason — particularly Christians like the Hobby Lobby corporation that funds the museum of the Bible.

That doesn’t imply that their shouldn’t be controversy because obviously people have been killing each other over religious disputes for centuries.

It implies that biblical archeology would be an extension of religious holy wars fought on the pages of journals instead of on the battlefield.

> Bigger cars means you are incentivized to drive 20 miles to a restaurant in comfort instead of walking over to a closer one

For many (most?) people in the US, the idea of walking anywhere of consequence from their home is simply ludicrous. Restaurant, convenience store, grocery store, all are completely inaccessible except by car.

Suburb planning has explicitly disallowed that sort of living for most people. It has also made it nearly impossible to serve neighborhoods with any sort of reasonable public transit.

The problem, if I understand correctly, is that we're feeding enormous amounts of text to language models hoping that they might contain, hidden in their patterns, enough information about the real world to allow prodigiously complex NNs to extract it and create their own representation of reality.

And while this is possible, it feels there should be more effective ways to impart a knowledge of reality- if only we had huge databases of usable data to feed to these NNs instead of dumps of text. At the moment it feels like we're trying to teach advanced physics to a subject with no previous knowledge of physics or math by just feeding it with everything on arXiv and physics textbooks in random order. What you get is someone who can produce text that mimics the superficial style of scientific articles, but with an extremely confused understanding of the subject, if any at all.

I used CDE more than Irix (so I can't speak too much to Irix), and generally preferred it for its clean look. And that's the reason I'd use it for what I call Rebasing. Similar to bullet journaling, you find a clean slate that helps bring you to some sense of organization and the big picture again.

Also similar to bullet journaling, it doesn't take a modern DE to do so. An old one with a usable text editor will do fine.

In fact the clean lines, sensible design, and visible pixels give some of us a mental cue toward a simpler, gentler productivity reset. I find that my main DE is much less compelling in that way, modern though it may be.

I agree! And then they proceeded to spread that image throughout the world (commonly via imperial colonialism) as "god looks like me, not you". That closely aligns with the concept of systemic racism.

"Most" is a strawman. We don't need to start assigning gold/silver/bronze medals to badness in order to recognize that it's bad and work to change it.

One of the things I find refreshing about Gemini is there is no standard scripting language in there and the implementations vary wildly on the client side from Rust to Lua to Python to Go as well as the server-side. It made me realize perhaps browser technology for the Web got locked into specific domain-centric technologies which have held it back. There is so much C/C++ required for JavascriptCore and friends in a modern browser there is only one real choice to code in. Mozilla has made great advancements with Rust in Firefox but still a long ways off from a total conversion. It's not that its not possible but if you want to tap into the work which has already been done in JavascriptCore or other technologies you certainly cannot just pick your own backend or language. Gemini's efforts on the other hand are being brought up in parallel and in the open so that is a major strength that the ecosystem is already much more broad from the beginning. Building a modern browser from source nowadays is an intensive process on a single mid-range workstation just due to the fact much of the extra functionality is compulsory and not opt-in. Many of these modules were meant to be pluggable but somewhere along the way they became coupled dependencies of each other. A good example is Electron where in theory it should be just the things you need and a subset of a browser where applicable but instead you need the whole browser engine every single time.
