And which wording would you have suggested, to improve the literal post from Skilled, while retaining exactly the meaning Skilled intended?

And systems similar to the one submitted would do _that_?
Or if you compile in release mode, in which case the fixed version is (maybe only sometimes?) inlined into your executable.

I ran into the same bug, but since I'd included a `precondition` to verify that each elf-group had only one common item type, I discovered the bug immediately. I then needed about 5-10 minutes to convince myself that it really was a Swift bug and not a mayoff bug.

"It’s never going to work as well as actually running X. It’s just for fun." You must realize that X was also built by some kind of neural networks, i.e. humans, and the only reason we can't run an entire Linux kernel "in our heads" is mostly due to hardware, i.e. brains, limitations. Although, I do remember Brian Kernighan saying in an interview how he was able to run entire C programs "in his head" faster than the 1980s CPUs.

The point is that the future programming language will probably be the human language as an extremely high-level specification language, being able to hallucinate/invent/develop entire technological stacks (from protocols to operating systems to applications) on the fly.

The purpose of the book is to make the general-audience reader realize the problems with the conceptual-historical framework of neoliberal economics and politics. David Graeber rightfully argues that Neoliberalism sells itself to the masses by constructing this "quaint" tale of uncivilized barter-practicing foraging tribes turning into coin/money using farmers into debt based industrial-financial empires.

I am sure there are many factual inaccuracies in the book (I am not an expert so I wouldn't know either way). But what he successfully manages to do is show the reader that there are many many different economic systems practiced throughout history, and many of them very highly sophisticated (and not quaint as you suggest). And once the reader realizes this, there is only a short step to the question, "is neoliberalism really the best we can do or one of the other systems better for us?"
No, unfortunately I didn't keep the logs.

These examples look pretty close to the form letters I get from recruiters on LinkedIn. Because let's be honest, it's not possible to send a personalized cold sales email because you don't know the person. Trying to be overly familiar in an initial email is a turnoff to me in any context.

I was assuming this would be about filling in the blanks on emails you share with family to keep in touch or something, but that's a harder problem since then the AI needs to actually know things about the relationship. Still, certainly seems like an approachable problem by tweaking some novel-writing AI to consume your personal emails and then use an interface like NovelAI or something to co-write an email with the AI (or KoboldAI to keep things local).
I like how the machine refuses to acknowledge that something is technically completely impossible, rather resorting to “I can’t do it” and “not possible within such a short time frame”.

I also like to imagine that it is machine expressing pride that what is impossible for mere human, might soon be possible for a machine like itself.

> I got married this past year. In the lead up to that, there were tons of wedding planning videos. Now I get served a lot of married couple w/no kids content. That'll probably keep changing as I move through life.

This is an interesting observation. You are arguing that your taste for content will change preventing you from getting tired of the product.

My argument is more along the lines of the medium. People get bored of photos because it’s old and so they move on to short videos.

Both are non-conflicting. I do see how your argument will prolong the lifecycle of the product.
What I am even more puzzled by is the concentration of manufacturing of CPUs in Taiwan, which beyond the chinese threat, is also an active seismic zone.
Here's a few:

- Implement a simple ray tracer in C++ using opengl. Provide compilation instructions for macos.
- Create a two layer fully connected neural network with a softmax activation function. Use pytorch.
- Implement the wire protocol described below in Go. The peer wire protocol consists of a handshake followed by a never-ending stream of length-prefixed messages. The handshake starts with character ninteen (decimal) followed by the string 'BitTorrent protocol'. The leading character is a length prefix, put there in the hope that other new protocols may do the same and thus be trivially distinguishable from each other.
- We are trying to classify the expense account of credit card transactions. Each transaction has an ID, a date, a merchant, a description, and an amount. Use a pytorch logistic regression to classify the transactions based on test data. Save the result to a CSV file.
- We are configuring settings for a product. We support three products: slow, medium, and fast. For each product, we support a large number of machines. For each machine, we need to configure performance limits and a mode. The performance limits include iops and throughput. The mode mode can be simplex or duplex. Write a protocol buffer for the configuration. Use an enum for the mode.

Anxiety by Fritz Riemann (1902-1979)

Fritz Riemann is a german psychoanalyst, and this is the translation of his best-known work, originally published under the title Grundformen der Angst (Basic forms of fear).

The book discusses how various types of fear (fear of commitment, fear of self-becoming, fear of change, fear of necessity) give rise to various personalities (schizoid personalities, depressive personalities, compulsive personalities, hysterical personalities), and discusses their relationship to love, aggression and their biographical backgrounds.

This is what I try to remember when I'm bored at work. Programmers may be overworked and underpaid, but we still have the luxury to do whatever we want from time to time, and make our own training by reading APIs for new languages because we love that shit.

I have a lot of friends who work in various fields, and I'm pretty sure they don't "love" their jobs as much as I do (even when micro-managers are annoying me).

Recently, I quit my job because the managers became crazy and I told me friends "it's fine, I found a new job in less than 24 hours and it pays more and seems fun." I had to explain them how the programming world works since they didn't believe me at first.
Not hearing the first word makes sense. My suggestion came from the fact that, besides consistently working poorly, like I said, Siri seems to be very good at “cancel”, “stop”, and “no” type commands, so that not working means something was probably very very wrong.

Let’s hope Siri improves for everything else!
Sure, but I don't think it's even that controversial or untested an idea. I think this is pretty common in startups, but they'd call it a "flat org-chart." It's generally seen as unacceptable to have the executive and treasurer be the same person, even in very vertical organizations. It's my observation that, if you leave people to their own devices to perform a task with a narrow scope, they pretty much form a horizontal organization where they make decisions by consensus, because that's what makes the most sense to them.

That being said, I do have a lot of ideas about this, which I am hoping to test by starting a company when I have the means to do so, and if you'd like to fund me, my email is in my bio. (/s)
The two best books I read this year, and have been recommending widely are:

"The Dawn of Everything: A New History of Humanity" by Graeber and Wengrow since it really shows how narrow our political imagination has been for the last 250 years, and makes me excited by people looking for new ways to organize.

"The Ministry for the Future" by KSR, which has further radicalized me and challenged me to spend more of my time fighting the climate crisis.

> (iii) use the Services to develop foundation models or other large scale models that compete with OpenAI;

Kind of ironic given that OpenAI builds and trains all of their models on stuff they "found" in the open.

Either everything is fair game for training, or nothing at all is.

If I were a judge ruling on this matter, I would absolutely rule that bootstrapping a model from OpenAI outputs is no different than OpenAI collecting training data from artists and writers around the web. Learning is learning.

Might be worth trying to use the outputs to bootstrap. What are they going to do about it? Better to ask forgiveness until the law is settled.
Imagine liking woodworking... would you still love it as much after 10 years of doing it 8h/day, 5 days a week?

Then imagine opening a woodworking magazine, and every page is a new ad-hidden-as-a-newsstory, showing some new magical tool that will do all the magical stuff you hate doing... trying to sad this complex shape? With our tool it takes just 5 seconds... then you get that tool, and it works only on small square shapes and 5 seconds is 'per side'. Another day, another magical tool, another disappoint. You'd slowly stop buying the bullshit and used the few tools you know work and try new ones only after they get an established presence in woodworking.

Then look at the customer... every customer has "special needs", but in the end, all you're making is a bunch of silimar wooden stools.

It's not something you have to get depressed about or even really care about... it's a job, you rise over the overinflated hype, you do your 8 hours, get paid, and then you can do other stuff that makes you excited... mostly because that stuff is not your 8h/day job. I mean... imagine having sex for 8h/day every workday... how long until even sex loses all the excitement? I'm guessing not very long.
Power and wealth is always asymmetric. The effect is competent people holding power and building some impressive society -> slow reversion to the mean of that society's elites -> a challenge comes up that requires renewal and an above-average response which they can't meet -> collapse.
That is a thoughtful reply. Working in IT spoiled me, and I like having a backup or failover server or data centre but for Apple factory. But, it makes sense now, knowing the scale of this Apple iPhone factory, it is next to impossible to build the backup factory. Thanks!
Nuclear is roughly equal to wind on a modular foundation if you account for the fact that the tower and foundation outlast the nacelle. The "$2/GW" nuclear reactors were all built by state run agencies with opaque budgets and in France's, Japan's, and South Korea's cases have all proved wildly unreliable in addition to having opaque public subsidy on top of the very large visible subsidies in the supply chain and finance. If you think it's possible to match the prices China reports that megaprojects cost, I'd like to see any examples of projects in the global north with auditable accounting matching their figures in hydro, or highways, or rail, or ports or... basically anything.

In mediocre to good areas with something like the PEG racking system solar uses about the same raw material than nuclear already and it's almost all sand. By the time a new nuke came online this will be far less.

Both are recyclable. 12 hour storage adds negligible mass and can easily cover daily variation.

Intermittent power without storage can easily feed dispatchable loads like EV charging, chemical feedstock and heat production. These vastly exceed non-dispatchable electricity and can be used for virtual seasonal storage.

There are only a small handful of areas best served by nuclear, and most of them have hydro or nuclear already.

There's a narrow niche where nuclear is optimal:

Grid electricity between 50% and 80% penetration in the 50% of areas where hybrid CSP + e-fuel backup isn't better. This niche is rapidly shrinking and could easily be gone by the time one is built. More carbon can be removed faster and with fewer resources by throwing renewables at the other 10 or so TW of fossil fuels currently being burnt. Until those resources are committed, new nuclear just delays things.
I love bug-fixing other people's code for some reason. I often get nerd-sniped by another team in our slack talking about some bug they've encountered in their project(s). I kind of wish that could be my full-time job. I suppose that's what some fields of consulting are.

Alan Perli: "LISP programmers know the value of everything and the cost of nothing." [1]

You seem to know the cost of everything.

Have you looked into "code is data" [2]? With the engineering or physics background, have you read about programming concepts like compiler, e.g. [3]? Programming languages are not only a tool to shift electrons around in a more convenient way. If you look the other way, languages are used to change the way you think. Have you tried creating an environment for you that suits you? ... that facilitates you to do whatever you want to do?

That said, maybe you have to do a Steve Jobs and stop showering every morning or try things outside of tech. Take time off so that it is a choice to continue when you return. After all, AI will be done in 10-20 years. There was and there never will be a more interesting time than being involved in tech right now.

Correction: "to defend an anti-abortionist stance".

Sorry, this writer is having attention faults.
I agree, and would like to add that therapy isn't necessarily a constant thing. Short- and medium-term therapy focuses on a specific issue or life event, and when one feels like they've gotten a handle on it, they don't need to continue sessions. So the fact that people discontinue therapy is not, in and of itself, a bad thing.

India, being a democracy, means that governments have to give in to demands of voter groups. The two largest voter groups are farmers and low wage labor. This has ensured that acquiring land for large scale projects or changing labor laws carries massive political risk.

Changes to India’s farm laws now seem next to impossible. I doubt India will have a more popular government than it has today. Yet, it had to cave in and withdraw a farm law reform bill.

If even this government couldn’t pull it off, there’s little chance future governments will do any better.

I think the GP's point is that there is something mediocre about common sense. I think it's similar to the most beautiful faces being also (very close to) the most average ones. "Mediocre" is not a good word for this concept, it implies a scale.

Maybe Turing test for intelligence is "wrong" exactly for that reason. It's like a test of beauty based on human faces. Maybe we need to accept that just like there are two different standards of beauty (i.e. face one, in which humans will always excel by being average humans, and the other, beauty in its own right, way e.g. fractals or Bach's music are beautiful), there are also two standards of intelligence, which are named in the article as "mediocre" and "excellent". Maybe it would be better to call them "human-like" and "brilliant".
I’m going to throw a bomb: There is no other job that pays that much money. Developers are paid more than managers, even in any other sector.

My uncle manages a refinery. He probably gets paid around 140k€, his house is fancy but normal. Most people who work like hell in France max out at 80k€. Meanwhile my devs start at 35k€ and get 65k€ after a fee years only (Note: French salaries are low, but employees prefer Ticket Restaurant and public healthcare to earning more, it’s a long debate - 70k€ is the top 8% of French people[1]). As a dev, you have extremely low risk and responsibilities, you need extremely little human talent which makes all the difference elsewhere, but if you study a popular framework hard enough, you can land a high paying job. So, a lot of devs are stuck because they need the money but can’t reconvert as an electrical engineer for the same money, even if they have the qualifications.

Fighting climate change… what do you have in mind… what can folks in (soft) tech do?

I’m equally interested but lacking in imagination currently how software can have a bigger impact.

All the big impactful things are in hard tech, ie changing industrial processes, new / improved material design, renewable energy production, reducing energy waste or waste in general etc and planting tons and tons of trees at scale - best carbon capture and ecosystem restoration tech we have I think.

But for all that we need to have the political will, which is not sufficiently present at the moment. Too many counter forces preventing systems change. So how do you address that?
