This exactly describes a leading-edge debounce function, which I was asked in multiple interviews early in my career to implement on a whiteboard. I'll admit that "problems people feel like giving to junior devs" isn't a great method of measuring whether or not something is simple, but I think it is indicative of how widely that sort of thing is expected to be understood. It also exactly describes any sort of request framework where request responses are cached after the first call and the result is returned without a network hit in subsequent calls.
It also doesn't help with 6GHz networks, the small range combined with relative rareness makes it basically not possible to use.

Mini brains grown in the lab sprout primitive “eyes” (2021)
man pages started out as a problem. If you don't already know a lot of foundational stuff, it's very difficult to bootstrap yourself with it. There are so many things that say something like "see man fizzlewizzle (3)" or something. I've been a developer for nearly 40 years (mostly in Windows, barely dabbling in linux) and I've yet to figure out what the heck that number means, or how I might predict what the correct number is when I want to look something up myself.
I had a fairly extensive personal web site for a number of years used as a professional profile. Unfortunately someone I met on a dating app turned out to be a bit of a psychopath and I had to pretty much cut her off. She managed to find the web site on the public Internet and get in contact with me directly and caused me a lot of problems leading to me having to dispose of the web site, the domain, my phone number and update lots of professional contacts.

I prefer a lot of anonymity now. I don't have any social media profiles or public facing stuff. And you know what? It has done no harm whatsoever to my professional life or connections. All that stuff that sucks you in is 100% optional.

This comes off like you didn't read the article. The author instead seems to be speaking against a certain generalization that therapy is never a bad thing.

> To be clear, I am a fan of therapy, and as a practicing psychiatrist for almost 20 years, I have witnessed many patients improve in treatment. However, the therapy-is-the-answer model is problematic for several reasons.

The author is suggesting that therapy isn't always the answer to every problem. I think the author even agrees with you that therapy is often a good answer to many common problems.

Why do you say you can't compete with Western salaries? If your customers don't want to pay what it takes, why the hell would it be your potential employees' responsibility to reduce their salary so you can offer this bargain? And since you are in tech, you can sell to the whole world. If your business can't get enough profit to pay for your workers, then the company should shut down the business as a failure.

A real question is whether it has developed an internal board model of chess. It has a training set of chess games as strings of chess notation. That's enough to play "book" games, and that's apparently working. Can it do as well as it is doing without a board model? Or has it somehow developed an internal model of the game state?

This is a system with no look ahead. Any look ahead took place in the past, during training. It's amazing that this works.

They do that in London too. Strangely they seem to actually know where they are going.
But at least you remove the doubt. And Java is a special case of objectively being browner.
I think they invested the parameters into supporting multimodal inputs (images).
No. Encryption has nothing to do with the problem. Ignoring quantum resistance (which is still probably not needed for any of this) you just need something like PGP with a key stored on a CCID card (with all other copies of the key stored on an airgapped and secured machine or non existent). Theft of the card is equivalent to someone stealing an employee's equipment. Theft of the card pin is equivalent to someone phishing the pin from the employee. To that extent, post perfect-AI-imitation you have the same guarantees as you have today. But this IS a massive step back in convenience. And if the card is stolen, the employee can no longer call in to prove their ID to have the card revoked. Because in that case, attackers would just spam companies with legitimate looking revocation requests.

But I guess what this COULD cause is a black market for stolen CCID cards and pins, and therefore crime to fuel the market.
> If I just ask ChatGPT, I get the answer faster, but I also forget faster. It's not learning.

I agree. Its necessary to put in the effort to internalize knowledge, as well as to recall once in a while. It does seem important to internalize _some_ knowledge.
Yes, because it's both useful and tedious. If it becomes just useful but not tedious, the price goes down but I'm also free to take on other tasks. If this happens to enough tasks, perhaps there will be need for less of us.

Wow, now you are making me want to drive around and double check! Distinctly remember seeing a dozen eggs for at least 8 if not $9 at target in alameda a month or two ago. Am sure all the cheaper store brand eggs had sold out and was probably looking at free range eggs. And the price could have come down since then too. And everything's expensive in alameda. Glad to hear it!
That's a key part of it, yes. The fact that basic pillars of life are tied to full-time employment means that people who aren't full-time employees aren't fully-benefitting members of society. And because these things cost the business money, it's incentivized to push as many people out of the benefitting category as possible

I can't remember the last time I came up with the majority of my scene ideas and beats and character arcs and world stuff independently of actually writing the first draft. I dunno, maybe getting GPT to spit out a draft and then editing it would have the same effect. But I kinda think writing prose is the thing that distinguishes a writer from a person with an idea. I'm not sure I want to read a story someone coaxed out of an LLM. I want to read the words they wrote at 3am when they finally, finally got that chapter or dialogue or whatever to work.

Love the notes/research/et cetera idea though. That's totally different and would be a real game changer.

Even more so -- if this tech makes people 10% more efficient, then maybe there's a strata of business ideas that wouldn't have been profitable without the tech, but can be with it, and they'll be able to grow and hire to absorb the displaced (or perhaps more).

How is that different than a legimate contractor?

If I offer a electrican contractor to fix a property in a dangerous area and they refuse, I might stop calling them in the future.

If contractor rates are high today, I might choose not to hire one today.

Hell, I might even make sure to split my contracts between different contractors to make sure they all stay in business.

> The thing that prevents them from contributing is the license that would require them to contribute?

Yes. Because the way it which it mandates upstreaming means that it creates a huge liability and unclear exactly what is in scope of the mandated contributing.

E.g. real lawyers looking at it have said that if you build a web app, and it uses mongodb (AGPL) to store some state, then you may need to opensource your web app.

It's not even clear if the AGPL software needs to be in the serving path. Maybe your billing pipeline uses mongodb, and now you have to opensource your frontend?

The counter argument from AGPL proponents I've seen is almost always "Good. They should need to opensource everything on their servers. I should be able to spin up exactly what they run, on my own servers".

Even a narrower interpretation that only in-scopes your patch to make mongodb work with your in-house SSO means you need to opensource things that you don't necessarily even own.

Again, the answer from proponents is "Good, all in-house SSO should die".

Oh man! Let me tell you something…I have 3 kids 3 and under and spaghetti nights are crazy. My 3 year old is better but my 1.5 year old is a hot mess. He has to be shitless during most meals or else the shirt isn’t going to last. Everything is smeared on his face and arms when he eats, even with a watchful parent it only takes half a second.

We’ve noticed spaghetti sauce will start to give him a rash on his belly only.

My 5 month old had beets last night for the first time and a full bath was not optional.
Entanglement has become a powerful tool
I confused state and props. The distinction between the two has always been a bit hazy to me. I'm not sure what "non-reactive" means.

I started, I just didn't have the time and realized my blog was **. Looking around most other blogs are equally bad. There are some good writers out ther but the majority of tech people aren't.
I've moved towards this too, for better or worse. Between 18-25, I was very passionate about national politics and macroeconomics and consumed by following political news and fiery debates, as many young people are. As my adult responsibilities grew, I realized that the national political stuff was either irrelevant to my day-to-day life experience and / or not something that I could affect much (not actionable, as you said), and the return-on-investment of my time and attention on more immediate things was much higher. In my 30s now, I almost exclusively read and listen to things closely related to my own work and family finances and health. I guess there's a downside of political disengagement for society, though. Old people seem to become more engaged again when they have more free time, but maybe we end up with this donut hole of representation among people who are in the middle of working full-time and raising kids.

I’ve been a contractor. I didn’t have the ability to randomly reject assignments as the contract was for a term of time, not job to job.

Soon to be 60 year old here. Glad that if need to I can retire now. Certainly the rise of LLMs and generative AI isn't going to be all bad, but I've also got a feeling that not as many software developers will be needed soon since those who can leverage LLMs will experience a pretty decent productivity boost. Part of me wonders if at least some of the layoffs we've seen in the last couple of months are because companies such as Google, Microsoft, Amazon, etc. (the ones that have pretty clear visibility into what's happening in the AI space) are realizing that they aren't going to need as many knowledge workers in the not-so-distant future.

I think there was always this idea in the back of our minds that this was going to happen someday. But someday was always like 15 to 20 years out. Looks like someday is knocking on our door now.
Whether or not it results in reducing CO2, there is a benefit: it's a way for some Africans to make money.

It would be a pity if they are doing something that doesn't work to earn it, though. It would make their work bullshit jobs. (There are worse things, though.)
Farmers had ~30 years to work on this.

I'd never tell anyone not to seek professional help, but I'm also highly hesitant to recommend it except in extreme circumstances (ie: self harm, psychotic episodes, etc).

The cynical / sceptical side of my brain often echos the quote "If you can't be part of the solution, there's good money to be made in prolonging the problem."

But the logical rational side thinks: hey, we pay for financial advice and legal advice, why not psychological advice?

So, you do you?

I can see where this sentiment is coming from, in that there's very few objective markers (genetics, location) that can fully describe race. Further, I agree that studies should avoid generalizing and assuming that those markers are always there.

However I firmly disagree with the combative headline -- race is a very much a _real_ social construct. Just because it's a social construct doesn't make it any less real, identities and personas do have pretty strong experience's in one's social life which can impact their health, well-being, etc. I don't see why this opinion piece has to describe it this way, it minimizes the real impact these social experiences have.

Any point is infinitely improbable when sampling with infinite precision, only because this calculation is not computable.

Even if the point probability is 0 or approaching zero very fast, some event occurs with probability 1.

The probability that life would evolve on a blue planet that its anthropomorphic inhabitants will come to call Gaia or Earth, has as a star Sol, in this corner of the Milky Way, in this particular local group and so on is zero even if we limit ourselves to just the observable universe.

At the same time the probability that life will exist at some planet at some solar system at some galaxy at some local group and so on, is practically 1.

That is to say, depending on how you categorise and count said marbles, the reordering may occur.

While any individual marble will not be at its place with P=1. You can still end up in a situation where the marbles are ordered in layers.

The whole thing regarding entropy is concerned with a closed system. You can very much exchange energy to decrease entropy, but said exchange is a) leaky, and b) implies that the system is not isolated.

I feel like we have very different expectations about what tools like this are good for and how to use them. When I say GPT3 can play chess what I mean is, I can build a chess playing automaton where the underlying decision making system is entirely powered by the LLm.

I, as the developer, am providing contextual information like what the current board state is, and what the legal moves are, but my code doesn't actually know anything about how to play chess, the Llm is doing all the "thinking."

Like it's nuts that people aren't more amazed that there's a piece of software that can function as a chess playing engine (and a good one) that was trained entirely generically.
Do you mean "IT" as in the people who deal with technical issues / supplies that the company is facing (they might be working in shifts). Another way to use "IT" is to refer to the whole group of people who operate computers on a more than user level, but mostly including people who'd self-identify as programmers.

If you mean the former, then yeah, these people might work in shift, but usually don't (they might work in shifts only if the organization they support needs 24 hour technical support, or NOC, as I've already mentioned), which most organization don't need. This technical support interpretation of IT is very rarely programming anything (exceptions are SREs or PEs in large companies where there's so much complexity in their in-house infrastructure that they need tech support to program).

In the later case, there's no need for most of IT to work in shifts. Definitely not at night. Same way how there's no need for accountants to work in shifts (and definitely not at night).
I think we’re pretty much there. Like the other comment pointed out, palm-e is a glimpse of it. Eventually I think this kind of thing will work it’s way into autonomous cars and a lot of other mundane stuff (like roombas) as it becomes easier to do this kind of reasoning at the edge.
