How well do these apps work with livestreams? That's been YT's secret sauce for me personally. While their player isn't perfect, the way that YT handles livestreams is far and away its most valuable feature. No other platform will allow you to pause a stream, walk away for 2 hours, and come back and let you press play where you left off. On mobile and desktop, it works great. I've had more issues with the YT player on Apple TV but I don't tend to pause streams with that device.
I missed the pun the first time. Well played.
startup I helped founding. I was the first engineering hire there. Gave my blood and sweat

But you weren’t a founder and could get ignored or fired anytime. Been there done that, required a therapy session to even realize the fact. It’s easy to fall into this “we” trap. There’s no “we”.

I was transparent about my feelings, I got a call from my direct manager (one of the founders) and was fired. <skim>. They always said that it was ok to be transparent about my feelings, but it actually got me fired

Time to learn a lesson. Only be transparent about feelings which you think will get you into a better position (\1). You may have thought you’re something like a child of this company, but you are not. It isn’t a family, and they’re not your friends, though it’s so nice to think about it that way.

how to avoid burning bridges

Avoid contact for half a year or so (avoid blocks too). You may have left an impression, they may have left it too, but it will fade away eventually. Take your time to realize what you missed and imagined. And if you’d be still interested in them (may be not), contact with an explanation/reintroduction that statisfies \1.
No, I mean that's an application yes, but I'd still call Alonzo Church a computer scientist and his work theoretical computer science.

Much as how people who study computability are computer scientist, even though none of the asymptomatic improvements to matrix multiplication since 1990 are even remotely relevant to any kind of real-life program.
Musk would fire the engineer or otherwise punished him. Other engineers would take the lesson and would stop saying such things.
It might be easier to study something other than an x86 PC, at least to start with. There's so much legacy in x86 that's distracting.

There are at least a hundred million you would have to convince to stop using that abbreviation before it goes out of fashion in the US.
This approach has some issues

- it chunks inputs, with some overlap, but this can destroy context

- the retrieved passages, when they come from different documents, have no apparent relation or could be mistakenly considered related

- the model struggles to correlate data between the document snippets, taking half an idea from one side and half from the other side and mixing them up in something that doesn't really make sense

Its not doing anything special that could "trash" the input. In fact no other env variables are read at all. So the fact that you are seeing your email, is a pretty strong indication that it is being set by you somewhere. Where else could it even get it from?

An other option is that you passed your email as a parameter mistakingly (which takes precedence over the env variable)

But the code is really pretty simple.

> oberon that actual uses the same language for the shell

This is a common misconception. Oberon's text-based user interface lets you invoke commands in the M.P form, but it doesn't really have a shell language—at least not in the familiar sense—and to the extent that something like one kind of exists, it certainly isn't the same as Oberon-the-language.
> coming generations will have put less effort in than previous

This has been happening since the inception of school. Calculators made math easier. Sparknotes made book reports easier. Wikipedia made essays easier.

> leading to a further drop in levels

Did levels drop because stuff got easier? Were there other causes over the past years, like dopamine dependency form infinitely scrolling algorithmic attention grabbing apps, among others? Maybe from schools becoming political battle grounds? Or from education spending being gutted leading to lower quality? Was it lack of decent education due to Covid?

Also, is there an actual drop in levels? I can't seem to find a source that has decent data on this. And the only stuff I can find says 'IQ' has been rising over time. So please share it with me.

Lastly, I'm personally not convinced any of this will lead to a net negative per se. It'll change the required knowledge and increase the over all capabilities of people. The calculator caused people to stop learning mental arithmetic and start learning more complicated math and how to use a calculator for it. Google caused people to memorize less and become adept at finding information through Google. Welding robots caused less people to learn how to weld and more how to program welding robots.

In the end it gives people the ability to do less of a simple thing and more of a complicated thing. Writing marketing e-mails and multiple titles for A/B testing isn't a skill, it's a trick and so is writing SEO stuff. Not having to do that opens up time to think about product-market fit, marketing strategies, improving advertising return on investment measurements. Which might be more valuable and interesting than writing emails.
Wrote up a detailed case study on running a fake door concept test experiment to validate a feature idea before spending time building it.

If you give it a reasonably well specified and well understood problem, solvable in a page or two of code and let it run in a loop (giving feedback) it will write and debug the code by itself. The output might not be "great" but it tends to be serviceable.

The problems with copy/pasting from a ChatGPT window are often environmental; modern computing environments are diverse and not well suited to one-shotting problems. I find it quickly corrects its own hallucinations under feedback and can understand what it needs to fill in. My experience has been that the "bullshit" problems go away when there's a concrete problem and reliable feedback.

This is not hard to automate and I imagine we will see TDD-based LLM "programming loops" where the human specifies problem, LLM generates tests, human supervises / extends tests, then LLM generates code to solve problem in the next 12mo. I feel like I can guarantee there are people working on frameworks for this right now.

Bear in mind that we are very early on the whole journey and that LLMs are likely to be only one part of a solution that can solve bigger problems.

The obvious problems using an LLM naively are the "context window" and deciding on appropriate sub-problems. Being able to create good working memory seems like a priority, whether that is vector databases or some other thing. I don't think it will be able to work in "novel" domains for some time and will not generally compete with skilled programmers yet.

But with the right architecture invoking it I'm highly confident that even today's LLMs will be able to bash out crud apps up to say 50kloc from specifications alone, jankily this year and reliably within 3 years. It's hard to predict just how good it will get and how fast, without understanding what further fundamental advances are possible.

[Note I'm just describing solution domains where "traditional" code is the target. I think this is where a lot of programmers suffer from a "skill curse". They think code is needed to solve problems and forget how a McDonald's can profitably emit burgers using nondeterministic teenagers, even if they occasionally forget your fries. It may be the case that "code" itself turns out to be a dead end or "expensive optimisation" for very many business problems. For example, a lot of business runs on forms and they are a staple of in-house applications. For many form processing applications it may make more sense for an LLM to just process a form or request directly and produce side effects and outputs based purely on instructions from the business without bothering with the nuisance of code at all. It will be interesting to see which direction gets more love - LLM just solves problem instances at runtime or LLM doing work at compile time for cost reduction and determinism.]
How is a hammer "not working as expected" if you hit your hand with it? This makes no sense. If I hit my hand with a hammer, what am I supposed to expect except causing pain and injury?

If I try to light a cigarette and accidentally set my beard on fire due to my own clumsyness, did the lighter malfunction? No, the lighter did exactly what it was supposed to do, it was my hand that didn't do what I expected.
Yeah car and road-centric culture holds a lot of this stuff back. In any urban area an efficient metro underground/elevated/tram metro system could take up a huge percentage of journeys.

If high-speed electrified rail links exist between cities, they can become much more attractive than long car trips.

On-demand transit can fill a lot of gaps in rural areas (e.g. on-demand bus routing)
Sterling Anderson, the second autopilot director, was fired by Elon for insisting on the importance of Lidar. Sterling went on to cofound L4 startup Aurora, which Elon then, shortly after, attempted to sue into oblivion with a frivolous trade secrets theft lawsuit.

Elon's sabotage efforts go back to the original EyeQ3 autopilot system from Mobileye. Elon had his people hack the system and push it's capabilities beyond it's safe design constraints, which led to Mobileye terminating it's contract with Tesla, following the death of Joshua Brown.

If Tesla had simply played nice with Mobileye in the first place they would have saved themselves so much trouble.

Climate change is having and will continue to have significant effects on our physical infrastructure, especially in the coastal areas, areas prone to flooding/drought, and wildfires.

But I don't see data centers/internet/power being an issue. Data centers are already globally distributed and load-balanced. Internet is near-ubiquitous, with growing wired, wireless & even satellite options. Power generation from renewables, along with storage, have been growing at an accelerated pace even despite (or some say because) the pandemic.

Also, an off-grid solution is very feasible: I can easily imagine a near future where I have my "smart home" running on a local Alpaca instance, being powered by my solar roof.

I'm convinced this meme persists because tourists trying to save a dollar get the absolute dirt cheapest bread they can find in some random gas station, that no normal person would eat unless they were dying.

13g of sugar is absurd and is not normal bread in the US.

Assuming the creator has the option to do this, you would both be better off if you blocked YT ads and just sent them some money directly
Haha yeah, I made something similar for my own use. I bet thousands of people saw the ChatGPT interface and instinctively wanted to pipe stuff / save it easily without fussing with manual copy and paste. It's still a fun project and quite rewarding to see the text stream appear in real time in your shell.
The gut doesn't absorb sugar as well in the presence of fibre so I think people tend to subtract the amount of fibre from the total carbs to come up with something called net-carbs. No idea how well this works in practice of course but there is definitely some high percentage of sugar not absorbed for every gram of fibre added.
I’m chemistry, tiny changes to structure or single atoms can produce drastically different properties.
I make my own bread, it's cheaper and waaaay less sugar.

Wonder bread isn't bread, plus if you have gut flora issues with gluten, leave the dough in fridge for a week to ferment and then bake that up with some olive oil brushed on-top and some nice big salt chunks.

I got into it because my son is severely autistic and the store bought stuff additives drive him crazy.

Do you code in checks to check the calculations made by the CPU? I've never ever seen anyone do that. If a CPU starts making errors we throw it away. A typical CPU will make many quadrillions of correct calculations before its first error, I'd say that is basically 0 errors.

I feel this article is not very balanced. It does not mention that having a colonoscopy is not without risks (perforation is 1 in 2000) and could potentially lead to death (3 in 100,000) [0]. Combining this with the high false positive rate of stool-based tests puts you in a complex situation when you do get a positive outcome of these.

Some scientists or shall we say experts on ancient diets estimate that prehistoric man ate as much as 100 to 200 g of fiber a day... Which could make sense because the vegetables we eat these days have been so domesticated that their starch content is far higher than it was in the past.. people ate a lot of different plant items from undomesticated plants, these plant parts were not high starts they were like low starts but they had some starch and some protein and some fat... But the fiber part of it was much greater because it was hard to separate the fiber from the starch.. so it's quite possible that these prehistoric people say 20,000 years ago 30,000 years ago whatever ate well over 100 g of fiber a day..

The fiber requirement today is supposed to be 23 g of fiber, maybe 24.. the average American eats maybe 20 grams of fiber a day..

Just B12 is necessary, either as supplements (vegan are also available) or in fortified foods. Also don't do junk food/raw version of veganism.

In a recent conversation with a buddy after I tried ChatGPT4:

-ME: It took my requirements for a simple webapp, gave me the front-end and back-end code. Then it tweaked the code appropriately based on my comments and bug reports, without arguing back or asking why I'm so dumb. In 10 minutes I went from idea to prod potential.

-HIM: Effing thing is going to put me out of a job...

-Me: PMs who jump on the bandwagon and train people in how to write good, detailed and precise specs will be fine.

-Him: Hahahaha. No one writes good specs. I’m safe for now.
Information inside agencies like GCHQ is strictly compartmentalised, with only the most senior staff having broad cross-programme understanding and access.

In fact, people can be even more cut off from information if they're at a low enough level inside an agency like that because they're forbidden from viewing leaked information to avoid jeopardising their clearances.

A GHCQ staffer working on, say, satellite signals intelligence for one of the regional desks is almost certainly not going to have any useful inside information on the case of someone like Assange.
from balajis: "This is the moment that the world redenominates on Bitcoin as digital gold, returning to a model much like before the 20th century. What's going to happen is that individuals, then firms, then large funds will buy Bitcoin. Then sovereigns like El Salvador and tiny crypto friendly countries.

The big move will be when a US state like Florida or Texas, or a "normal" country like Estonia, Singapore, Saudi, Hungary, or UAE buys BItcoin. And when narendramodi tells India's central bank to buy Bitcoin, even as a hedge, it's over.

Why will it be so fast? Well, hyperinflation happens fast. We've seen digital pandemics (COVID), digital riots (BLM), and digital bank runs (SVB). Everything will happen very fast once people check what I'm saying and see that the Federal Reserve has lied about how much money there is in the banks. All dollar holders get destroyed.

The thing is, people are still tuned to an analog world where things get gradually worse rather than all at once. But there isn't much forewarning for a digital event — it's 1 and then it's 0. Just like the bank runs, except this is the central bank.

There are however two sources of forewarning. First is the chart of the long-term depreciation of USD vs BTC, from less than $1 USD per BTC to $25k USD per BTC. Much of the smart money has been voting against the dollar since the financial crisis. The end is a digital drop off a cliff, almost invisible on the chart — but highly visible in the world.

This tweet is the second forewarning. It'll be ignored and mocked by people who still trust the US establishment, even after the last few years. Who can't imagine that the US banks and media could be lying to them to this extent."

I knew something changed after AlphaGo. Compute could do what we thought only true intelligence can do. So I agree, LLMs are not a black swan. It will change everything, nevertheless.

I keep reading these opinions that LLMs are just doing some advanced form of copy paste. Actually, we don't know what they are doing. Are they actually doing some form of modelling and abstraction? Seems likely to me.

I took a course from a local conflict mediation charity based around the Harvard Negotiation Project's framework on Difficult Conversations (So another vote for soft skills, really). It completely changed the way I think about dealing with internal & client side comms - with a big part of the focus being on trying to understand the underlying motivations behind people you're communicating with. Honestly, this feeds into how I try to communicate with people in a non-work context too, so, can't recommend it highly enough.

Not sure how helpful that'll be in terms of finding a course that you can access yourself, but link to the original book outlining the framework below.

Hey, I got inspired by this and built https://github.com/andreyvit/aidev, it sends a slice of repo to OpenAI with a prompt, and saves the results back into files. It's in Go, and has built large chunks of itself. (As one of my friends said, that gives “self-documenting code” a totally new meaning.)
