I had heard of it, but never checked until you mentioned it in this context. It seems that Elm is an entirely new language written atop JS (or maybe not, and targets JS?). A DSL.

DSLs also usually are an incomplete solution. Unless they themselves allow adhoc language creation using the DSL as a base. Common Lisp with its macros allows writing DSLs quite off-handedly as you program. You grow your program and language together as you get deeper into your problem.

Isn't that because all living organisms are composed of one or more cells ( cell theory )? It isn't an arbitrary cutoff but rather a result of observation that the smallest thing we can confidently called a living organism is a cell and all organisms are composed of cells.

> it's much more interesting to consider if viruses are machines or not and that really is a hot-topic in the biology community.

They are not self-contained self-replicating machines. But are they machines nonetheless? I'd say they are non-self-replicating machines. But I guess it all depends on how you define machine. Just like how do you define life or living determines whether viruses are alive or not.

I completely disagree. All throughout history the "experts" or the "most authoritative sources" were proven wrong againd and again. I'm sure lots of things we take for granted today we'll be proven wrong during our lifetimes.

I want a different future, one where there are no authoritative sources, one where a journalist's words has no more relevance or weight than anyone else's.

> It is an asymmetric advantage, but they're different games. The governent should be competing to help people, not make money.

They're two independent things. If a different management style would produce a public benefit then do it without access to the taxing power. If using tax money to subsidize some service is in the public interest (spoiler alert: it rarely is) then the subsidy should go to anyone providing that service.

> Yes in many place that would drive out current businesses.

Which is the problem -- because then they're no longer competing, and it's the competition on equal terms that keeps them honest. If they're actually helping people then people should have no trouble voluntarily choosing their unsubsidized offering. Without that they're just an unregulated monopoly susceptible to inefficiency and corruption.

> If we are worried about inefficiency, maybe we make government compete with itself. Have it's initiatives be charters, and issue new overlapping charters over time. Governmemt is not required to have a stasist implememtation; dynamic behavior can be part of the system.

Charters where funding only goes to the politically connected are effectively corruption, and whoever is getting fat off the cash will exert their influence to make sure no one capable of doing it more efficiently can get access to the funding. Charters where funding goes to anyone who signs up to provide the service are effectively tax credits.

Thanks for a great product! I wrote tens of thousands of lines of PHP 20 years ago to achieve this kind of functionality, but I ran out of steam as a solo developer, and I could not find anyone else interesting in helping with development at the time.

After installing Noco, I feel like I ran into a long-lost friend, albeit one with a facelift and a complete style make-over.

Mainly because MSFT’s equivalent would be Teams which is marketed to an office environment. We expect everything to be logged for corporate accountability. People get weird about trade secrets. We know MSFT has “access” but we trust that there’s a good Chinese wall in place.

You’re arguing again from a position that assumes that entities have clearly defined terminal versus instrumental goals - which is precisely the position I reject. For instance in your example of “terminal goal is groceries” versus “terminal goal is hunger” neither of these describe how actual humans make decisions. Instead there’s a process, part biological and part environmental. The human checks the fridge then thinks “oh I feel hungry”. Is hunger the terminal goal or the fridge? That question doesn’t even make sense - it’s an interaction between the agent and the environment. Do Pavlov’s dogs have a terminal goal of “salivating to bells” or “salivating to food”? Again the question doesn’t make sense- the agent has built a habit from within a certain environment and the salivating is not goal directed. That’s why training works for dogs, and putting the fridge out of site reduces hunger in humans.

Think more carefully about the implications of multiple ways to survive here. Why do people pick one over the other? In a terminal/instrumental goal model, agents would pick the instrumental route that maximizes the return on the terminal goal. In reality we see that instead humans adopt habits, processes, and heuristics that guide them through daily life even when those do not lead to any specific goal.

I was under the impression that doing things directly in custom silicon was always more efficient than emulation (all other things held fixed) both from a performance and power consumption perspective. The problem of course is that it costs orders of magnitude more money to implement, to say nothing of the difficulty in designing/testing the thing.

It's basically the same progression we saw in bitcoin mining: Custom software on a general purpose CPUs, then on GPUs, then programmed on FPGAs, then actual ASICs that are straight up custom silicon to do nothing but check those hashes.

That's really interesting. I don't envy anyone who had to do music engraving prior to the usage of computers, so hats off to you and thanks for your contributions. Musical notation is such a complex, intricate, system and even with computers it's still a challenging thing to get right.

I've used several different notation programs over the years and most of them make me want to scream and cuss over how un-intuitive they are compared to hand-writing a score. There is so much complexity and specificity required of the tools.

No doubt you've probably heard of Tantacrul and his Youtube channel. Watching him pick apart the design issues of every major notation software really highlights just how hard it can be to get this right. His channel occupies a nice niche at the intersection of music composition, design, and programming. Also his videos are entertaining as hell.

I particularly enjoy his video about the making of a new notation typeface. He does a good job at making the topic of music notation come to life, and also throws in a short history of the program 'Score' for some context: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGo4PJd1lng

>We should make it easier for end users to learn how to build their own sites and host them, even if just as static pages.

Its definitely not easy. I recently spun up a public bespoke web server on a $5 VPS. I was surprised by the immediate and constant probes and attacks. Hardening the server was non-trivial for me, as I'm not a professional sysadmin. Nothing was trivial, from setting up DNS to ssh to fail2ban. My setup was as simple as possible (one node, one DNS name, one server process) and it still took me a full two days, plus some extra fiddling, to get it setup properly and reproducibility.

Starting from zero it takes enormous knowledge. Can it be made easier? Yes, I think so. On the high-tech side I think ChatGPT is going to play a role in lowering the learning curve for this kind of stuff. On the low-tech side I think experts could offer help to new learners, but I'm not sure what channels make sense. I'm not sure how it could be simplified without violating the primary purpose of the exercise.

Right, that's what banks were doing for Uber employees, for AFAIK, as low as 7-digit packages. I believe the interest was conditional on an IPO happening tho, and in some cases the IPO not only got delayed but the IPO price was actually a little below secondary market price right before the IPO (same as Facebook).

I would think banks would do this again? But perhaps with a longer IPO window? Like the banks that would do this would also likely participate in the IPO anyways ...
I remember having that epiphany in 2017, reading the original google transformer press release. I remember thinking “they taught computers to understand!, and someday soon i’ll be able to translate anything into anything.” And not like translating “languages” but translating contexts and concepts.

LLMs really shine when you try and combine two previously untouched things or map one bit of knowledge it a common pattern. Eg “summarize Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein as if it was an episode synopsis of Magic School Bus.” “Now do the same for Dracula.”

I remember my mind racing so much that day. With all the ideas of things it would unlock. And I still managed to under imagine just how many different types of knowledge, and different layers of knowledge and language, they would be able to encode into one compact dataset.

I would think it’s like an auction for the things that don’t matter. For the most valuable brand KWs do you think the winner is randomly allowed to be determined by “the market”? Why not bring the brand to the table directly, and outside of the auction determine what they’ll have to pay.

To me, it seems like no company could keep their hands out of the cookie jar that is running an auction. Too much short term pressure to move things up and to the right. Amazing cash cow though.

Some people are like that too. It is very annoying the way Chat-AIs give their answers in a totally confident tone, as if they knew the answer.

The point is they don't know the answer, they just come up with something.
