It's not very surprising, as other mentioned on this thread (and in the blog itself) this channel's popularity is only organic growth, they do not do $$$ sponsorships, they do not employ clickbait practices (which work, sadly), and the audience is relatively niche compared to your random trend-setting garbage youtuber like Mr. Beast.
I'd be curious to see the source on those numbers and how they're broken down. For example, Terra/Luna was a spectacular crypto failure. FTX, on the other hand, was just plain old fraud, not really related to crypto itself.
It does have some ability to extrapolate to new problems, provided its training corpus has reasonably close coverage. It is not going to be making new scientific discoveries or insights but then neither are most people. With a sufficiently large training set I think these models can achieve human parity for a subset of language generation tasks, and be effectively of human intelligence. They nearly already have.

It doesn’t matter to me if they have “reasoning” capabilities or not if the outcome is the same.

I think we are a long ways off from AGI still.
Ok? This is like the arguments that self driving cars are bad if they crash even once.

The question isn't "is the AI giving me the perfect legal defence?" or even "is the AI giving me a defence as good as the best lawyer money can buy?". It's "is the AI better than the public defender that I otherwise would have been given?".

As soon as the answer to that last question is yes (and I have absolutely no idea when that will be), it will be extremely difficult to justify not using it.
Only that there is no intelligence being commoditized...Yet.

And that is obvious, if you ask one of these models, a meta question like for example: "If a person says I am lying, are they lying or saying the truth?"

You will see these models will spit a canned elegant response, talking how a question could possibly be true or false, some persons not being able to attest if another one is truthful or not...But no mention of the Liar Paradox.

So we are not yet ready to say: "Your Honor its not fair! My Lawyer is version 2.2.3 with SP1 while the Prosecution is version 4.0 with an additional Cloud Based Elastic Inference! "
> all recurring group meetings

What about when you are working on something but you also message somebody on Slack/Teams a question and they instantly hit you back with "hey, instead of talking through it on chat, let's both stop everything we're doing and join a call"?

By all means, I get it that sometimes (not sure how to measure it/what the answer is) it's quicker to "bite the bullet", hop on a call, screenshare, etc.

but it does seem almost like a communication style preference. some people are super quick to want to jump on a call no matter what. and then the question becomes does it "impede" those whose communication style is not to jump on a call. it's like "rude" to say "i'd prefer not to jump on a call with you", forcing them to go from "call communication style" -> "type communication style"

it really makes me wonder if some people are on 1 on 1 or small group calls basically 4+ hours out of the day (by choice. not scheduled meetings or on call incidents)
Hey, "in perpetuity" isn't right. We have done this multiple times before and it's part of the culture. One culture value is "Thriving on change" and the recurring meeting GC run is one opportunity for people to discover if they do!

Historically we did this event in `rand(600)+300` days anniversary of the previous run (to make it somewhat unpredictable) but we had enough chaos during COVID so that we queued this run to get a fresh new start this year.
Now you know why modern programming languages have such complex date/time/calendar libraries.

This is interesting. I've only seen data that says the exact opposite of this. Can you cite anything?
I think we need to look at this from the perspective of a society and ask ourselves what else we could have done. Obviously there are a whole lot of people in society completely lacking in common sense and critical thinking skills, while at the same time mass rudeness seems normalized too. Is this a failure of education, or parenting? Or has it always been this way, and the only difference is the way we communicate with each other now naturally results in mass failures of common sense? It's a complex topic, but these rude people are also victims so we need to analyze it and at least learn something from it.

Decriminalization and legalization are distinct things. Legalization means just that, the act becomes legal. Decriminalization means that the act isn't legal but the perceived severity is reduced and punishment for it is moved out of the bounds of the criminal justice system (e.g. getting caught with a joint becomes a ticket, like a parking ticket or an open container ticket, instead of sending someone to jail)

At my last job, there were quite a few times where being able to scale some small "microservice instance" up from 2 -> 4 instances or 4 -> 8 or 8 -> 12 was a lot easier/quicker than investigating the actual issue. It'd stop production outages/hiccups. It was basically encouraged.

Not sure how that can be done with a "it's all modules in a giant monolith".

“If you came to me tomorrow with a loan for $100 at 25% APR, since I trust you to underwrite good loans, I’d buy that loan from you. I have very few opportunities to buy low-risk 25% APR debt in the current interest rate environment.

I don’t need to trust that loan, per se, I need to trust you, because I intend us both to be repeat players on this transaction and we both understand how statistics work. I am not buying the performance of that loan, I am buying the performance of random samples from your loan-creating machine.” — Patrick McKenzie
Rumours are that GPT-4 is a significant improvement over GPT-3.5. Given how big an improvement GPT-3.5 is over GPT-3 I am inclined to believe them. Probably we will find out for sure in a few months.
Correct. While data-loader facilitates data loading, type resolvers in GraphQL is where the solution starts.

A lot of this goes back go the Clean Water Act from the early 70s, and how it’s precedent enabled more local laws and bodies to focus on water quality (like the Delaware River Basin Commission near me protecting the Delaware River watershed).

These laws and orgs can be overly bureaucratic, and need constant monitoring to make sure they don’t halt all progress in a given area, but it is a vast improvement to earlier times when the government cares not a whit about water quality. We have the same story here on the Delaware - a river you would not want to dip a single toe into 20 years ago is now beautiful, serves as drinking water to millions, and supports all sorts of hunting, fishing and tourism industries.
Most jobs today don't need novel reasoning. This is the equivalent of the steam machine for intelligence.

During the industrialization, machines did not replace all jobs, but they replaced or changed most jobs. The same will happen here.

A typical office job will have a few hours a week of actual, intensive thought. The vast majority of time will be spent doing simple, repetitive work. This work can be automated, or at least significantly sped up, using technology like GPT.

“write an API client for …”, “integrate APIs … and …” can easily be automated. Yes, you'll still have to write the business logic, but that's not the majority of your work today. You could even have it write unit tests based on the JIRA ticket description.

The same applies to many other jobs.
It's all about the build system. Sublime has built-in support for a few, with more available as extensions. Auto-complete works out of the box using Sublime's own language-agnostic implementation, which obviously isn't perfect, but you can also install an LSP.
I tested this by asking GPT to create an imaginary country and government. I prompted it to create it's laws and constitution. In some cases cultral beliefs too. There where many cases where it outright refused to come up with hypothetical laws or cultral stances on certain issues. I eventually accused it of creating a straw man when it didn't want to give a solid answer (it would always weasel around it). It apologised and essentially shrugged.

Sometimes.

I mean, Russ basically said that about all the work people were doing on the golang package manager and did his own thing, and it worked out. Good job! Sometimes, a smart person can do something that is better when they're deeply steeped in the domain.

> No, the community is stupid.

I personally find that most communities have a lot of very clever, very thoughtful people in them, and if you listen, you can learn a lot from them.

Just because they don't agree with you, doesn't make them stupid.

I think that its basic respect to listen to your community, acknowledge them and think about what they say, even if you go your own way.

...but, if you (as a maintainer) just think they (your community of users) are just a bunch of idiots, do whatever you like. They are idiots if they hang around in a community like that.
Hmm, I think this misunderstands what doctors do... It is not about making elaborate or obscure diagnoses, passing exams or applying the latest research given that one is always working in a resource-limited system. It is about treating illness in the context of a person, their beliefs and their lifestyle, with sensitivity and compassion. The doctor-patient relationship is complex and very human, and doctors in some form will be involved even if they are at some point supported by AI.
> That backplane is not an implementation, but a set of understood guiderails for inter-module communication.

Then why is the author even discussing microservices in the first place? Following your logic, they are an implementation detail just like modules.
That's very much not true. The main progressive argument against strict prohibitions is that people are going to use drugs/alcohol regardless of the law, and so a prohibition will create a black market with organized crime and dangerous conditions for users.
Not in my experience. The network carrying the transaction may still be mastercard or visa in most cases and a chargeback is just debiting the merchants account for the amount.
I am sorry but this title is click bait. These researchers ran GPT-3.5 on only the multiple choice sections of the Bar and it passed 2/7 sections. Is this really impressive? Absolutely. But the only element of the article that is about GPT-4 potentially passing the Bar is one paragraph near the end:

> According to the researchers, the history of large language model development strongly suggests that such models could soon pass all categories of the MBE portion of the Bar Exam. Based on anecdotal evidence related to GPT-4 and LAION’s Bloom family of models, the researchers believe this could happen within the next 18 months.

GPT-4 could potentially pass the Bar, it could potentially do a lot of things. But by their own admission the researchers have no hard evidence for this.

Yeah, this is real. Men still tend to get erased from the parental equation to a large degree. And this doesn't just affect stay at home dads. Much of the dialog around pregnancy loss and childloss seems to forget that there's often a father involved as well, and that the loss impacts both parents. When we lost our first child to a still birth, people would often focus entirely on my wife when offering sympathy and comfort. The assumption was often that I was supporting her through the loss, not that I was also someone experiencing the loss who needed support. This is problematic on multiple levels, but on a very basic level it just made it that much harder for me to grieve the loss and made me feel erased.

That said, I don't think it makes sense to connect the issues surrounding the ways in which men and women are still gendered in society, our resulting assumptions, and the harm they do with this particular problem. Because I think this particular problem affects both men and women, though with perhaps some differences in affect that are worth calling out because of the aforementioned gender roles and assumptions.

I haven't read the referenced book, but I would separate this problem from the one described in the book. I think we're reinforcing those stereotypes when we frame the general problem of "people not having work" as being specific to men.

Even beyond that, I would challenge the whole notion that people need to be included in the workforce. I think we're framing the problem wrong when we look at it that way. People need to be economically secure, they need to have deep connection to communities, and they need to have something meaningful to do with their time. Right now, many people only get those things from work. This is true of both men and women, plenty of women talk about loss of identity and struggle finding community when they become stay at home parents.

So I would argue that the book is taking the wrong framing - both in focusing on men and in taking the wrong assumptions, or perhaps, the wrong ordering.
I left in the Chesapeake Bay and it’s the same story. It was never as industrial as New York Harbor, but suffered from tons of run off and other pollution in the 1970s. Now you can see bald eagles fishing in the early morning.

It does make you wonder if it’s really valid consent that a person grants to one of these databases when the information they’re granting access to is shared by a group of individuals.
The difference is that the Bay Area apartments would be new initially vacant apartments that could compete with existing apartments.

New York already has had high density for a century+, but has not been adding apartments at a rate that would match population growth (and income growth) for decades.

In the Bay example, presumably if the new apartments were a one off, prices would initially come down, but would then start to rise again as more people move in and add to demand.

The solution would be to continuously add sufficient new apartments to match population growth (which could be done by liberally allowing builders to build more density to meet demand).
I agree with everything you're saying. My reference to free market -> state socialism as a spectrum I think is still valid, but is only one axis upon which an economic system can be evaluated. Syndicalism, worker coops of course exist and are distinct from each other, but those both still exist on a spectrum from a free for all to state ownership. Admittedly I did conflate things a bit with my point about raising the floor on quality of life though.
>And also with modules you need the business processes to coordinate deployments across teams, because they all live in the same wrapper application. That's what stops them being independent.

If we're being technical some languages support hot swapping modules so no restart would be needed. Setting that aside, restarting an application isn't anything that needs coordination today. You wouldn't even restart the application. You'd deploy a new version, swap over, and shut down the old version.

>You don't restart the network every time you deploy a microservice.

No, but something changes in the network configuration so that the other microservices are aware of the deployment.
Society (meaning gov't programs) doesn't care about you beyond your economic output. We offshored countless unskilled labor jobs that men would traditionally take in America and told them they needed to take out crippling loans in order to get knowledge worker skills that our industry is working overtime to make obsolete within 5-10 years anyway.

Many just are giving up, they don't see an opportunity here, they just are going to play video games, take drugs, and accomplish nothing with their lives.

Reader is for text/characters while InputStream is for bytes. An InputStream always lays at the heart of a Reader. Java's I/O may not be the most elegant of simplest, but it makes additive sense assuming you don't just have a bone to pick with the language.

The float examples are artifacts of pragmatism between plain old data types versus heap allocated objects. Though I do admit Vector<Float> is absolutely obsolete and should be avoided. The others have a clear purpose and raison d'être.

> The American Zeitgeist around gender issues is distorted to dehumanize men and alienate anyone who even dares to recognize this fact.

I'm conflicted about that. Not denying that what you've said is true but I specifically chose the term "red pilled" because there are huge toxic (predominantly online) communities that are openly misogynistic. e.g. in theory I'd like and participate in the "men's rights" subreddit, in reality it's a pit of toxicity. Some of the frustration there is justified (family law definitely seems biased against fathers) but the result is not positive.

I'd also add: a lot of this societal pressure against men being accepted as stay at home parents comes from men.
