People getting 500k grants in 2013 from Google were just making a lot of money in general. Remember a grant isn’t an option you’re getting actual stock even the company stayed roughly flat they could have sold the 500k worth of stock.

Grants that size don’t represent a typical employee either. It’s closer to a 2-30% annual bonus that happened to appreciate rather than some life changing payday.
Why is it contingent on ADHD?

Had you lived 150-200 years ago you'd be exposed to a lot less artificial stimuli than you are now, and that in itself wouldn't have made your life torturous minute-to-minute.
Who Should Jack Up the Car in a Nascar Pit Stop? The Answer Is in the Numbers
I did a few days at a Catholic/Jesuit retreat center about a year ago, and part of it was an intentional unplugging from not just technology and work/family responsibilities, but _also_ the ability for me to fill my brain with the kinds of planning and prep work that consumes me when I'm in tourist mode or on an active vacation. Actually having to sit in your thoughts and think about things without distraction is a pretty important thing to periodically do.

But I also love taking my kids camping, hiking, biking, etc, and that's also a good break from the internet, but I think my point is just that they're not the same and there's totally room for both.
This isn't an article about how crazy wildfires are, it's about the effect on the ozone layer, so not sure why any of that would be relevant.

If the objection is that the lead author used the term "climate change" out loud, the article seems to go out of its way to be precise so the "any mention of climate change is political" crowd won't be aroused:

> Haywood would like to see the new chemistry integrated into a climate model to forecast how ozone depletion might be affected if intense wildfires become more common.
I reached that by accident. Service B for DNS was just a more pleasant product to use than service A, and service A didn't offer certain features I needed for emails.

To bring it back on topic, this made it easy when I switched service A from Gandi to something else a year or two ago because a few things I was seeing from them "smelled funny." I don't remember the details, just that I wanted to switch.
Fun fact, the Eiffel Tower architecture is not protected since 1990, but the lighting is. So it's illegal to use commercialy a night time photo of the tower[1][2].

I don't think anybody has ever been sued but the SETE (Société d'exploitation de la tour Eiffel) do make money with the image.

They believe that one of the fundamental aspects of the human condition is believing that certain things are right but struggling to live up to it.

They believe that everyone experiences this kind of struggle, but in different ways depending on the person, and that failing at it is inevitable. They believe there is a way for things to be OK even though you fail.

They also believe in an ethical framework where you determine what is right or wrong based not on your own assessment of the pluses and minuses but by following guidance that comes (through scripture, church tradition, etc.) from a higher power whose wisdom is greater than your own.

And they also believe there's some kind of grand plan behind everything, and that the way they fit into this grand plan is to be a priest. They have at some point come to the conclusion that they are supposed to be one, that it is their vocation.

Or at least, within their faith, these beliefs are what is commonly accepted as the right way to look at it. An individual person may or may not actually think or feel exactly like this. Sort of like how one person may become a doctor because they like helping people and someone else may become a doctor because they don't want to disappoint their family.

I agree. All signs point to me not having ADHD, but I've had jobs in the past where there was so much downtime I dreaded coming in to work every day. I'd much rather be doing work I dislike than nothing at all.

I'm not sure where this comes from, but I've been this way as long as I can remember.

I would suggest starting with individual study and observation. Too much activism is pushed from emotion, and it all reaches a point where it just comes across as noise. I think what's needed is a balance of the passion combined with knowledge and understanding.

Getting involved in local politics and making small changes in a progressive direction as opposed to trying to save the world. A good example are communities that are supporting local growers/producers and freeing them from some of the national/state level red tape. Improving the chain of supply more locally and increasing awareness. This is much harder in larger cities though... as local foods are less diverse and less universally available year-round.

Working with local restaurants that aren't chains and trying to build local sustainable menus. Moving away from refined products to more local.

As it stands, it's very niche and trendy, which can come across as off-putting or out of touch. But working locally can be very impactful. If you can convince one restaurant to move at least part of their menu to local supply, that can help. Being closer to the source will lead you to connecting with the source and having a better understanding.

There are a lot of people out there, working on actually making their small parts work... connecting these people is really hard. I've been pushing for years talking to local restaurants to try to get them to move away from refined seed oils for cooking alone, and it often falls on deaf ears.

Shop and advocate for local coop markets that have sustainable practices.

Unfortunately, it's hard to fight the convenience/abundance of Wal-Mart, Amazon and Costco. I have enough trouble convincing my SO to hit a couple different grocery stores in a day, as opposed to trying to get everything needed in one convenient stop.
This is a stupid argument, and one that will never be won.
You’re right on many points. And yes I did say energy levels to account for not relying solely on hunger.

You’re using the “through disciple -> freedom” idea from Aristotle I think.

And you’re using what is needed.

I agree for your conception of humans we need the regimen you lay out.

I don’t argue with that.

But how do you fill your plates? With discipline you count each asparagus frond, weigh each food group, count every calorie?

No, at some point we are listening to ourselves. Since we are already doing that, why not skip many of these middle-practices?

I am very present taking in food and assembling my meal. Why do I need Greek philosophers to tell me what I already know?

Eating is for ourselves. Not everything is so selfish and personal, but it is one case where listening inward is the primary focus. Contrast to listening to the needs of others in order to be happy.

Maybe that’s another discipline, to be present and listen inward. And not appeal to principles of others.

I also arrived at this stage by failing with other diets over 7 years or so. It’s not like I had some grand principle at the beginning. I could not do certain things I like to do with fasting. I hike and stretch every single day as physical therapy for an injury. Fasting would wreck me.

My theory is it's just about boundary pushing. When you're younger, the boundaries are closer and easier to find because you have limited experience with the world. As you get older, The boundaries appear to extend farther and farther away, and you get more comfortable staying away from them.

I say this because anecdotally, I have a few years in my twenties that seem like they flew by, because I was living a pretty boring life working in an office. But then later in my thirties I have some 3-month periods that stretch wider and longer in my memory then those entire years in my twenties, because I was out and exploring.
Gradient descent was invented before Minsky. Imo, Minsky produced some vague writings, with no significant practical impact, but this is enough for some people to claim his founder's role in the field.
I'd rather have the language settle on one single templating syntax rather than every library and their son bake a half-assed one. "Oh, does query use the : syntax? The $ one? Does it take the template string first, or the arguments?" And with your example, `query` needs to figure out how to parse the string, extract the template slots, and pass the correct arguments into the correct slots. It's a recipe for disaster if every library needs to reimplement that.
Is that better? The effect is the same.
Tooling (of several kinds) that is easily available - everything from editors to CICD. I recall having this conversation with him in which he explained that a large part of his job was mentoring/educating/teaching younger engineers. The example he used was in VIM - minimal custom settings and scripts so that it easily translated to others (iirc the only plugin he used was NerdTree). Keeping things basic makes it easier to teach.
This is something I've been mulling over for a while now. Folks who've been writing before the inception of ChatGPT have a historical record of their work, so one can probably trust that they will continue to author their own content. But how will the next generation of writers convince others that their writing is truly their own work and not the product of AI? It's going to be one big struggle for validation. If you can't beat 'em...
Crossovers are still more deadly than traditional, lighter cars that have visibility of what's in front.

In fact, crossovers and SUV killed more children in the past 5 years in non-traffic accidents than regular cars did since the 70s. Now, the drivers often kill their own children, so it's delayed darwinism, but still.

And that's why you now have front camera on SUVs.
Yep, he was an engineer that fell into an architecture role.
So you're talking about the rendering part, which has obviously seen tremendous improvement from AI-based techniques e.g. neural material rendering, ReSTIR etc.

Since Catmull is known for contributions computer animation research, where the application of ML hasn't exactly thrived, at least not yet, to the same extent as rendering has, I assumed you were talking about geometry processing.
As long as you are getting enough to still do the things you love outside. Makes sense.
Could we hack this to better understand what your code is doing in prod?

Let me describe a scenario:

Let's say you just inherited some service that is already running in production but it don't have a great documentation nor a good test suite. To make matters worse you don't really know how this service is being used and what are the critical paths inside it.

What I'm thinking is if it would be possible to use this feature to collect some real world usage data for this application. And this data could give you a better understanding about what is actually important in the service.

For APIs we already have a part of this data, as most server in Go have the number of requests for each endpoint. But I think in many cases a more granular data could be really helpful.

Yes, I know that the number of times some function was called isn't a reliable indicator of the importance of said function. But it should be better than nothing.

And I also know that something like this would have a negative performance effect that would not be acceptable for some situations.
I don't think you have to deal with incentives at all. We can simply stop paying for low or negative Roi treatments

The whole conversation with Winograd is here:

https://conservancy.umn.edu/bitstream/handle/11299/107717/oh...

In that passage you quoted, Winograd is saying that SHRDLU was essentially an academic demo, something created only for the purpose of passing a thesis examination, even as a tech demo is something created only to show off at a showroom. That's well known.

But SHRDLU, academic demo that it was, was a program hand-crafted by a single PhD student in a few months. It didn't have behind it a team of 30+ people, or a budget of hundreds of thousands of dollars, like GPT-3 -and who knows about ChatGPT!

And yet it still worked better than ChatGPT has ever worked, even though just for the purpose of moving virtual blocks around a virtual world.

Sure. And do what? Go off the rails like a crazy train, most of the time.
There are a number of important jobs in the US (like PT, speech, teachers, nurses) that are becoming increasingly not economically viable. It's difficult earn enough to pay down your education debt while finding a place to live. Yes, there's PSLF, but you can only get credit toward that if you work in a public institution or non-profit. And certain political elements are keen to end that program--who knows if it will be around 10 years from now. There's also income-based repayments with forgiveness after 20 years, but, depending on how the political winds blow, you might owe tax on the amount forgiven, which could have ballooned to huge amounts over two decades. You're risking being in debt until your dying day.

This isn't a great position to be in, nationally. The US education system has grown increasingly fucked over the last 40 years and we're all going to pay when it breaks.

IMHO.
I wish there would be a debate at a major venue between Chomsky and the best proponent of LLMs --- over text or video --- but it's not clear who that opponent would even be. There really isn't a towering pro-LLM intellectual figure, one who can also talk a bit about philosophy, cognitive science or linguistics.

As another example of this, In [1] I've taken a python program for counting (a bound on) the number of iterations needed of the SafeGCD algorithm to compute a modular inverse for any 256-bit (relatively prime) modulus, translated the python into Coq, and proved the implementation correct. Then by running the computation within Coq we produce a theorem about the bounds (e.g. at most 590 iterations needed for the HD variant of the algorithm).

If this $100B number were accurate I would expect a certain group of politicians to jump on it. The total Medicaid spend in 2021 was $734B . So that would mean 14% of Medicaid payments are fraud. This would mean you could simply take ~100 Medicaid bills at random from the whole country and have an agent go follow the money in detail and 14% of the time they would end up arresting someone ? Seems like this could easily self fund more agents if the numbers are true.

1. LOL! Sorry! Volume is tricky to get right. I'll fix this with my next video.

2. Agree 100%! Second bots are becoming more sophisticated, but the truth is I am still pretty early. The video on this post, and on the website, is actually about a month old. I had planned on making an updated video with more interesting scenarios, but I ran out of time! I will have an updated video within the next two weeks. I also need to show screenshots of sample outputs, agree 100%

3. Defensibility - I wouldn't say this can be too easily copied. I am building custom compilers at the feature level (the high level plan), compilers for individual files, and piecing this together with GPT-3 queries on the code base, and using GPT-3 to generate new files, and modify files. Other than that, that's all I got!

4. You are 100% right. If Second becomes just a really fancy starter kit, it won't be a great business. However, I have found that my early customers do not know all of the features that they need up front, and tend to configure features in second, and then do a lot of BE work and some tweaks, and then do another feature a few days later. So I think Second can be integrated into a normal product delivery workflow. Also, I plan to add other capabilities like AI code reviews, and auto upgrades and maintenance via bots

It's better just to use an actual array for enums:

type myEnum = typeof myEnum[number]

That gets you both an enum type and an enum array you can use at runtime

This is where the death panel rhetoric comes in.

Moving from any registars is possible [1] the process is fairly easy and takes a couple of days . You would need access to admin emails you provided for verification.

The process is free as in gandi won’t charge you to migrate but newer registar might , and also if you DNS or other services the new service provider will likely charge for those.

[1] for .come .net .org and many other popular ones it is, however for some of newer Top level domains (TLD) they may have only one domain registrar and you cannot move. .dev is owned and operated by google alone.

Gandi afaik does not have exclusive access to any significant TLD so it shouldn’t be a problem

I don't know, I only have a few personal domains and don't use invoices.
One can migrate any of their domains from any registrar to another registrar. I do not have a Gandi account so I don't know where in the UI to find this, but you would need to go into the properties for each domain and first unlock the domain and then get the unlock/transfer code. Use that code in your new registrar to move the domain(s). It is best to do this over the phone with the new registrar to ensure a smoother migration.
That makes sense if you are confident that they will still be in business 12 months from now. In light of these changes, and the number of people saying they will cancel, I don't share that confidence.
