> But if you tried to put IO types on Datomic you find that it spews IO everywhere.

So you put it in a monad and get on with your life? It's like one or two extra characters on your operators just to mark out where you're doing effect composition, and the benefit is that you can immediately see where all the effects are happening. Code is read more than it's written, so it's a really good tradeoff.

> And yet it works incredibly well with good enough performance for a wide band of applications!

How big is it, and how many people work on it? IME not tracking effects works great as long as everyone working on the codebase can keep the whole thing in their head. But you hit a wall (for me it's about 20kloc - I'm sure smarter people can push it a bit further, but everyone will have a limit eventually) once you can no longer reason about how one part affects every other part, and at that point a little helping hand from the compiler helps a lot.

That is having too many expectations. You should go into this expecting them to give you a small bonus. That is it. You don't have some idea you value at under $1000?

In the US if someone says medical student or medical school they either mean a DO or MD. If someone says allopathic, the mean the MD school subsection of medical students.
As of last year, MD and DO students go on to the same residencies, the difference lies only in name and the addition of osteopathy (a combination of valid physical therapy and some voodoo techniques) which the majority of DO students don't believe in, and the few that do keep perpetuating the BS forward unfortunately

>thousands of ideas

Yeah me too. It’s a curse... wish I could focus on just one more often. Things I’ve “invented” in my mind only include mesh networking in 1997 (people thought I was crazy... why would someone share their bandwidth?). Actually submitted that one internally to a company that had the wherewithal and positioning to do it, a multi billion dollar idea, and they said “nope.” That company is now barely a wisp of a shadow of the behemoth it once was.

I’m of the school of thought that it’s the doing that counts, and I respect it when someone brings things past a finish line.

Anyway nice that you’ve found a fun and rewarding outlet for some of yours.
Bitcoin isn't big at all. It haven't made relevant changes to people's everyday life.
It looks like this is not a protocol, but maybe? a Java project with adapters for different services.

I'd call it a step in the right direction, but given that this can live entirely outside of Facebook infrastructure and tied to one language it's a bit hard to see how much weight is put behind this.

I could be misinterpreting what I'm reading though.
Right. It has some type of language ability, but no world modeling. So overall it really doesn't make sense.

But since that is so obvious, I assume many people are trying to figure out how to improve it. So I am excited to see if they can make progress in the next few years.

It is going to be quite difficult though. I think it might require integrating a totally different type of subsystem, if it is possible at all.

But the ability to make realistic sounding language is a step forward it seems to me.
“GPT-3 Does The Work on some business analyst SQL queries”
Can't help but think the impending Antitrust investigations have hastened such initiatives at FB.
Ahh... the perfect symmetry of your user name and your good deed.
What I've never quite gotten is, what's really the risk people are seeing? GPT-2 specifically I remember a great deal of handwringing (or hype) about how dangerous it was.

I feel like I even asked this same question here earlier: What's the danger? I hear about "polarization" and so on, but what's this supposed to enable that the bots and trolls and just good old regular people of today don't? Is it just a matter of scale?

A widespread ability to pretty convincingly fake more difficult things like photos and video seems much more relevant or "disruptive" than anything in the realm of text generation. I just don't really know what "fake" text does at the end of the day.

In my experience when I build a new garden by hand on land that was freshly cleared, a hugelkultur like row will develop naturally. I normally plant strawberries in it.

When I start working the soil either by tilling and or raking I always end up with lots of roots and dead branches that get moved to the out side edge of the garden into a long pile or edge row of sorts.

Rather than haul it away, I rake a bit of decent soil overtop of all it and plant away.

It's almost as easy as the "Ruth Stout method", I'm not sure I would ever put the work into hauling logs and other materials from one area to another just to bury them. It's a great concept that probably works. I'm just not sure it's worth the "HugeL" amount of work over just bringing in compost in the beginning and top dressing (Which I have to do for weed control anyways) each year.
Too many companies are built with the mentality of a greedy programming algorithm.
No new technology is impressive when it comes incrementally. A camera that automatically records the latitude and longitude of where each photo was taken would have blown my mind as a child. I couldn't have conceived any way it might have worked. But nearly all cameras do that now and at most it's a curiosity or a privacy worry, not a blown mind.
Some posters here are expressing alarm at how good this example of GPT-3 generated writing is. I wouldn't be so alarmed. The Internet is already filled with quasi-coherent misinformed writing that's generated by humans in good faith. That's exactly the reason why we rely on our peers' judgement through sites like HN or through social media to select the bits that deserve our attention despite being misinformed and quasi-coherent.

I live in a dry climate and humidifiers can only help so much
Four years ago, I did a startup. Payment gateways were too complex back then and had too many legal restrictions. Logistics were not mature. We had to do all of this in house. But we didn't have economy of scale, so it was too expensive to build our own payment gateway and logistics, and the startup faced financial difficulties when scaling.

Today, it would have been a lot easier to do the same startup. We would have made more money, hired more people, paid above market average.

The goal of a business is to just focus on whatever they built and reach out to as many people as possible. Netflix does one thing. They don't build their own DRM or CA. They also pay the highest salaries in the range where possible. Maybe there would have been more Netflix jobs if one component wasn't done or if they had to build their own browsers. But they likely wouldn't have scaled as big or made as much profit, and would have been cutting salaries or reluctant to hire, trying to compete with something like HBO.

React is another example. Now there are countless React jobs instead of people using HTML+jQuery to build the same things. Has it increased productivity? It probably has, else why would people use it. But it's opened even more jobs.

Software is just never done. There's always more features to add and refine, more wealth to create.
Huh...? Coursera provides video courses, readings, and quizzes. Is your assertion that it is impossible to learn from written material or videotaped lectures?
This is very cool! It's really awesome to see this code as data concept gaining a lot of traction recently. Hope to see this project developed further.

I'm working on a similar project here: https://sourcescape.io/, but intended for use outside the IDE on larger collections of code (like the codebase of a large company.)

Agreed on the Prolog/Datalog approach of expressing a query as a collection of facts. CodeQL does the same. From one datastore nerd to another, I actually think this is a relatively unexplored area of querying knowledge graphs (code being a very complex, dense knowledge graph.)

Very excited to see where you go next with this "percolate search" functionality in the IDE.
Squeezing a key through a carry bit 34c3
Pretty much everyone agrees that these models, no matter how good they are at writing, don’t understand what they are writing, and can’t develop new ideas, only combine existing ideas together.

Given that, it’s seems that what you are doing adds only noise, and no value, to HN.

Of course, that is probably also true of a large fraction of pure-human posters ...

I think you only need language to communicate, it’s not necessary in order to think. Do you agree that a human that grows up in isolation probably won’t develop a language? Would you say such a human isn’t sentient?

I think as highly social beings we often annotate all of our thoughts with the language we could use to communicate them, which could lead us to believe that the thoughts are indistinguishable from the language, but that conclusion seems like an error to me. I’ve also heard some people talk about how they are “visual” or “geometric” thinkers and sometimes think in terms of images and structures without words.
Why did they get rid of the courses?

Right, when judging an individual piece of text you should evaluate the merits of the argument. Where this becomes dangerous though is in building what looks like consensus among thousands of users of a service.

Text like this makes it feasible to build huge puppet networks that can get upvotes/karma from real users quite easy by playing into their echo chambers.

This type of technology could easily be the undoing of anonymous upvote driven forums like reddit/hn.
What I have been doing is a directory per namespace/context.

I have a common Makefile that I link there which creates the namespace and does all the basic initialization stuff like inserting deny-all netpol rules, credentials for our docker registry.

It also runs a puppet task that creates scripts to use kubectl and helm with the correct context.

An optional config file let's me change the defaults, like pointing it to a different cluster.

I also keep context specific notes and files, scripts, etc. in this directory. Everything under version control, except for the autogenerated stuff.

For normal usage I always just run ./kubectl.sh. I switch between contexts by changing directories and the commands to get pods and talk with the cluster don't change. I just go nuts with ctrl+r.

I also can run commands on different contexts easily, lets me pipe the output from one context into another just running:
namespace1/kubectl.sh exec ... | namespace2/kubectl2.sh run ...
namespace1/mysqldump.sh mydb | namespace2/mysql.sh myotherdb

Each kubectl.sh points to the correct version of kubectl for each cluster, so you don't get weird kubectl errors from mixing stable clusters with more modern ones.

The config file being a puppet script is a very powerful tool. I use it to for example generate the config files for our software and the yaml files for helm. Also for doing the vendor specific stuff like allocating volumes, ips and configuring DNS servers.

The volume of machine-generated spam — microtargeted clickbait, specifically — on the internet could grow by an order of magnitude or more, making authentic human text a minority. That will hasten the demise of the internet as a democratic medium, because intelligent people will be increasingly reluctant to wager their time and attention on unvetted prose of uncertain provenance. This has been the trend for some years now, but it is going to accelerate very rapidly.
Chest is a good place for pockets. Like the breast pocket on a tshirt. Or the multipocket on overalls.

Back pocket is fantastic as long as you don't sit down. And to take that to the next level, a finish carpenter's toolbelt. A back pocket big enough to fit a cantaloupe. With partitions. And you can slide the whole thing around to various places on your butt and hips as the situation requires.
Also, time. A year should be a year, not two week periods with endless "how's it going?" and check in meetings where you need something to present.
> It doesn’t help that gas are two levels octane lower than in other places (so standard gas is 85, not 87), Denver does the same thing.

That’s due to high elevation. There’s no need for higher octane. I’m at the same elevation as Denver and my car requires 93 but the highest I’ll find is 91 which is just fine.
Thanks, great suggestions!

You'll be surprised on how much crap Samsung packs into low-end & mid-end smartphones in India, especially since now the phones are made in India, available only in India(M-series).

The phones have major international data hoarder apps, their equivalent in India and their Samsung equivalent with its own app downloading services which masquerades as system updates to force the gullible into downloading Samsung apps even if you disable them.

The phones are very much subsidised for data hoarding.

Coronavirus doctor's diary: Why are people remaining ill for so long?
The prep time doesn't make sense. 30 minutes in the refrigerator and 10-15 minutes in the oven are totally understandable, but none of the other steps would take 1.5 hours combined. Maybe the website just assigns a minute value to each task and adds them all up, which is not realistic.

Recipes written by experienced cooks often parallelize 2-3 tasks. For example, you can preheat the oven while boiling the pasta while you're making the sauce. This not only saves time but is actually essential to the recipe. If you try to execute all three tasks in serial, either the pasta or the sauce will be in a less than ideal condition.

It's even more that they're unmarked. They also refuse to speak at all or identify what agency they work for or even that they are law enforcement officers. They are also fastidious about proper pandemic face covering

It's almost identical to Putin's little green men in Crimea in 2014.

I'm very curious how it would play out in court if someone seriously tried to resist arrest with one of these guys. Are you really legally required to comply with someone shoving you around who won't even identify themselves as being a law enforcement officer as they shove you into their rented minivan just because they have a tiny patch that says "Police"? What about if they're not even the police, they're a federal prison guard or something?

- It is good that fewer people are dying.

- Some of the most vulnerable have already died. That is probably an additional reason the death rate is now lower.

- The more vulnerable do seem to be much better protected than before.

- Packing people together causes it to spread like wildfire.

The hypothesis here is quite a bit more nuanced and specific than that. As a laymam, I found it worthwhile to read the whole article.

> Pretty much everyone agrees that these models, no matter how good they are at writing, don’t understand what they are writing, and can’t develop new ideas, only combine existing ideas together.

Well I guess not everyone agrees with that, because I don't for example. First, how different are the two things, "develop new ideas" vs "combine existing ideas together"? Are we certain that some things that you consider new ideas aren't ever things I would consider the combining of existing ideas?

Regardless, it seems to me that these language models may very well produce "new ideas" by chance, even if it doesn't itself 'recognize' that that is what it's doing.

> Given that, it’s seems that what you are doing adds only noise, and no value, to HN.

I don't agree that the only value added to HN is 'new ideas'. There are lots of old ideas that have lots of value in being communicated and discussed.
