The Nashville Number System is faster to write down as you listen to a tune, has methods of indicating ryhthm associated with changes (underline means half a bar, diamond around a number means to play the note once and let it ring for a whole bar). It's just better all around for popular music. Roman Numerals are really only used in analyzing classical music as far as I know.

Part of my education, in commercial ear training class, we had to write number charts and get it right the first time through. It sounds hard, but with practice it's really quick.

This is not universally true. I would agree that overall things trend in this direction over time, but as long as a company is still growing and has the opportunity to win in the market, then collaborative doers can still beat talkers. Of course, politics are still the inevitable consequence of trying to coordinate thousands of people to figure out and execute on the right priorities without any individuals having anything close a full picture. If you're more of a heads-down thinker and builder then it's true you will be at a disadvantage against the social climbers—in the short run. But over time, provided the right feedback channels, the doers reputation tends to increase, while the talkers reputation decreases. Bullshit detection is 90% of the job of upper management in large corporations, it's a tough job and rare skillset, but when done right it results in an environment where good work and honest collaboration is possible and celebrated.

Fusion 360 Internals: Trying to re-invent Fusion’s GUI (and failing)
This is really great!! My C for Engineering professor was abysmal and I never felt like I got a quality education in it. This is something I've been really wanting to circle back to.
The glaring issue I see with this proposal is the author supposes that people who say that they could “live indefinitely with sonic booms” have all the facts needed to make that assessment and are correct, or that they want to live indefinitely with sonic booms.

People could “live indefinitely” with ionizing radiation (and non-ionizing, I might add), but that does not mean it does not impact their health or wellbeing. There are detriments outside of the immediately obvious “loud noise bothers someone”, such as property damage, ecological destruction, environmental concerns, health impacts, passenger safety, etc.

I couldn’t disagree more with this.
If you want to talk about personality the member of the big 5 most correlated with intelligence is openness. The member with the highest negative correlation to intelligence is conscientiousness. To be skilled in any kind leadership you need both high intelligence and super high conscientiousness. To be skilled in writing you need high openness and at least moderately high conscientiousness.

Irrespective of creativity and intelligence you need some amount of conscientiousness to be goal oriented. That is just yourself. To direct others to do the same you need that plus excellent communication skills. There are no shortcuts or alternatives here.
The obvious retort is that many modern conveniences began as expensive goods that we eventually figured out how to scale, or make more cheaply. It’s not as obvious that this counter-argument is robust, given the known history that we have with the Concord3. But if the economic is won’t work out, they won’t work out.

But I’m increasingly leery of arguments that imply the best way to achieve fairness is for everyone to have fewer nice things. And I say that as someone who thinks we should be taxing the wealthy at much higher rates than we do.
It seems like I might not have legally been allowed to make a copy of the DVD in the first place too...
I can see how this could be a helpful reframing for some folks, but IME centering your attention on how to title yourself can have the reverse effect, which is to encourage you to indulge in an identity that doesn’t have much substance underneath.

I had a phase where me and my friends all thought of ourselves as writers and artists. At the extreme, there was a buddy of mine who would answer simple questions by prefacing with, “Well, as a writer, I tend to X.” And X would be many secondary tendencies you might associate with writers: look at the world differently; ask annoying questions at parties; overanalyze pop culture; drink too much caffeine; procrastinate; joke about procrastinating, etc.

The problem is that most of us didn’t do the only X that matters, which is to actually write. And I think we knew this on a subconscious level, and it was why we were so angsty all the time. (Being angsty is another X that writers are supposed to do, so it was a vicious cycle.)

Writers who don’t write seems like a niche phenomenon of a narrow and privileged set, but I feel like I see this elsewhere. I’m an engineer these days, and I occasionally come across junior folks who have a similar thing going on. Especially in bigger orgs, you can see people struggle for years with this: there’s something about the job they like (perhaps what the job seems to say about them as individuals), but they have a hard time with the actual moment-to-moment work. I generally think it’s not my place to judge people, let alone gatekeep or call people out on it, but I sometimes feel that I did those folks a disservice by not telling them: hey maybe this just isn’t for you.

This is a good summary of the author's point. In a historical context, it may be the case that the only useful way to enforce "quiet skies" was to put a speed limit, but that doesn't account for changes in technology that may enable quiet booms.

Most commenters in this thread seem to take issue with the author's assumption that there is no other justification for a speed limit other than noise reduction.

Honestly, I find the author's premise to be vaguely reasonable, but the whole thing is undermined by the god-awful chart which extrapolates historical aircraft speeds to imply that without the "speed limit" rule, we would have commercial aircraft crossing the Atlantic Ocean at 2500 mph. (Per wikipedia[0], the fastest manned aircraft in history, a SR-71 blackbird flight, capped out below 2200 mph.)

>The proper argument is for a carbon tax

The proper argument is to get a carbon tax first before unbanning anything like this.

And it's not on the political horizon so....
> At a given time, multiple people may be having the same idea.

Ahhh, now I get it. What you describe here is not an idea at all. It is just something to do. (We could also disagree how to measure quality. I can imagine great ideas that cant possibly work or just cant be profitable.)

In the games industry for example a real idea might look like Pong or table football but one could also argue those are just iterations of croquet. Maybe the real idea was the Mayan ballgame of Pitz and everything after it was just a slight modification.

Ideas range from bad to good but we each make our own definition.

Personally I'm looking for an idea similar to camp fire. The execution of a camp fire is cheap. Or take grilled meat or alcohol those are not cheap ideas!

Colonizing mars or a fusion reactor, those are cheap ideas. If you have ideas like that you need to do better.

I agree with this, but I also don't believe that it's an exclusive alternative to what the blog is suggesting.

Part of the path of acceptance is also accepting what your roles are in your life. These roles aren't about what is projected onto you, which is where a lot of the internal strife stems from, but instead how you are trying to see yourself.

The blog mentions titles like "writer", and it's a great example of a role. You should absolutely refer to yourself as a writer if that's what you're doing. If you're in marine biology you should absolutely call yourself a marine biologist. You aren't status seeking here, you are recognizing part of your identity.

The important bit of that is "part of your identity". You aren't "just" a writer or a marine biologist, so what other roles are core to your identity? Maybe you're a caretaker too. Again these are all parts of your identity and recognizing them isn't a bad thing, actually the bad part stems from the miscommunication.

Often when people are meeting each other, they will single out the larger part of their identity, for simplicity sake. We misinterpret this and believe that they are just that one role and project all past ideas of their role onto them. Jake is no longer Jake the writer and other mysterious roles I don't know about yet - he just becomes Jake the writer. Remedying this miscommunication involves recognizing how all identities are formed of parts, not a lack of identity, so we can then start viewing others as the complex beings they are.

So what roles do you play in life?
What an unusually sane point.

The new hotness in 2023-era gaming is Hall Effect joysticks, which apparently have infinite life (or at least, infinite compared to the old potentiometer joysticks of just a few years ago)

It makes sense that video gamers will push UI to their limits: video gamers need the highest precision, lowest latency, greatest stability, lowest cost and best feel.

I mean, military also needs these things, but without cost as an issue. So it's video gamers who would push the envelope.
Better yet: don't limit your idea of yourself or others with titles and identities.

> The problem is not theoretical physics, if anything, the problem lies in our technological/engineering prowess that has not been able to follow our advances in physics.

That used to be my view, but it turns I was wrong. The standard model was complete in the 1970's, and everything beyond it since then has been fruitless. Axions excluded, the other kind of axion excluded, sterile neutrinos excluded to make just a few.

Even Roger Penrose thinks we're on the wrong track with quantum gravity.

Check out Sabine Hofstetter's voluminous output on this issue for a better breakdown than I can give.
ECC deniers are quite difficult to understand. Once one has experienced an unreliable system with a few bad DRAM bits that caused data corruption, the 20% premium for ECC is well worth it. An hour of my time being wasted on debugging a wonky system more than pays for that.
But nobody can verify if you voted. If you make it a fun thing and have everyone check up on other attendees, I bet adherence would be pretty high.
Copilot is a huge time and typing saver for manipulating data, richly autocompleting logging messages, mocking out objects and services in tests, etc.

If you're only expecting it to solve your hard problem completely and from scratch entirely from a prompt that's probably not going to succeed, but I can't see how you're possibly faster typing 80-90 extra characters of a log statement than a Copilot user who just presses tab to get the same thing. Those little things add up to significant time savings over a week. Same for mocking services in a test, or manipulating lists of data or any number of things it autocompletes where you'd previously need to author a short script to perform or learn advanced vim movements and recording macros to emulate.

I don't understand the nuances of prompting. I literally talk to it like I would a person.

I say "My values are [ ], and I want to make sure when I do things they are aligned."

And then later, I will say "I did this today, how does that align with the values I mentioned earlier?" [and we talk]

I am most definitely not qualified for one of those prompt engineering jobs. Lol. I am typing English into a chat box. No A/B testing, etc. If I don't like what it does I give it a rule to not do that anymore by saying "Please don't [ ] when you reply to me."

There is almost definitely a better way, but I'm just chatting with it. Asking it to roleplay or play a game seems to work. It loves to follow rules inside the context of "just playing a game".

This is probably too abstract to be meaningful though.
I generally agree, but personally I don't think I have that much control over what is the source of my self worth.

I mean, it was enough for me to spend a few months in 2020 on a contract where I had easily 4x my previous rate to forever shift my self-percepction.

I've become a temporarily embarrassed high-rate contractor and I can't help it. Kinda shallow, but it's interesting that this feeling persists after three years.

It wasn't even a high rate by SV standards - just really high for my corner of the world.
He did no such thing. Where is your evidence?
My advice is to be fine with coding challenges, just don't do non compensated take homes. Take homes trend toward being non-paid work; I've seen plenty that are asking for a frontend and a server and a DB, and it's just something I would charge for.
There's lots of videos of it on youtube.
I've seen even those forced to C, with such gems I've run into like:

Link-time stack resolution(and aliased even, so pretty good density)

Default int is char. Please use short or ANSI int.(because 16-bit int would be painfully slow)

Recursion is not supported in this memory model(because the stack is resolved at link time, so...)

Function pointers must be compile-time resolvable(I think this machine didn't have a way to represent program counter values in GPRs/variable jumps)

"Function prototypes are an ANSI feature"(part of compiler the front-end also used on a bunch of UNIX box compilers).
> They are not expressing that the concerns are invalid

> Agree to disagree then

Since you're discussing what I was expressing, I can tell you who's correct, since I know what I was expressing. And you're wrong. I wasn't expressing that the concerns are invalid. They're very valid.

Instead, what I was expressing was that OP doesn't actually have those concerns, not that they're invalid.
> It would have been the ultimate glue language

Interesting. Why particularly a glue language? Just because it's the ultimate language and thus by definition also the ultimate glue language or is there something more specific?
I thought of this immediately too.

I know that Meta is doing its level best to wipe LLaMA's weights from the face of the Internet, but I also suspect (and cannot prove) that various organs of the US state (CIA, NSA, FBI) are also trying.

If they're not, I'm even more afraid, because one of their most important jobs is being alarmed so I don't have to be.

I'd wager a few dollars that Cloudflare had a visit.

And, as an aside, I'd say it's a matter of when, not if, a GPT-4-scale model is leaked, possibly GPT-4 itself. If not to the open Internet, then to China.

OpenAI is (for now) staffed by humans, and humans are vulnerable to seduction, spearphishing and spycraft.
It is unfortunate that chip making is so complex and capital intensive that a disruptor company would struggle to move in and take advantage of this opportunity. To do so competitively would require deep pockets and deep expertise, both not well-aligned with disruption. But you’ve pretty clearly outlined a product feature that is not discoverable in the market today, which means that a disruptor who could get off the ground ought be able to differentiate by making this discoverable. Doing so would quickly lead to price discovery and if the margin were there, the rest of the dram producers should fall in line fairly quickly to provide this information for their products as it suddenly becomes an axis they can (must) compete on. At least in a perfectly spherical frictionless market anyway..

> I simply am not going to sit here and act like bottling water is somehow “”ok””

Bottling water is okay! People need to drink water, bottling water doesn’t use that much water, and convenience is good! We should recycle the plastic but that’s a separate issue altogether.

That is fundamentally different. Floating point computation not nearly as always needs to be done to the last digit of precision. For a lot of application 10^-8 is more than enough, for some even less digits might be enough. But fast calculation might be a lot more important if you're in a real time scenario or if you're doing HPC.

On the other hand, is not only row hammer attacks that cause bit flips, random bit flips happens, cosmic ray or decline of radioactive particles might cause one. And there is _no way_ to know if one happened on non ECC RAM (I know, ECC only reduces the probability of not noticing it, but it reduces that probability), and given that there is not way to respond.

If one random bit flip happens, best case nothing happens. If you are unlucky, maybe your system will crash. If you are really unlucky your data might end up corrupted and the OS might not even be able to detect it. Or maybe you were running a 100 hours calculation, and it might go wrong in the first minutes because of a bit flip and your simulation is ruined.

Floating point operations is about precision, witch can be studied and decided based on the needs of the application, bit flips are about data corruption.
You assume "rights" exist in a vacuum. The so called "rights" given to "the people" are clearly defined in the constitution and the bill of rights. Judges compare laws to those documents for conflicts, and err on the side of the constitution and the bill of rights. They do not make rights up as they please.

This is good when you need a few like 10 or 50 boards and you can wait a bit for boards to ship from China.

It would be nice to have a local fast service for when you are in hurry, want to make a prototype or a one off project, or you are just tinkering, send the design and receive the board the next day.

Yes, you can fab the board at home but it takes a bit of skill and time.

There is also the qualitative aspect.

I live near an Air Force base that luckily doesn’t do supersonic stuff.

Constant white noise, even at a pretty high level is something that can be tuned out pretty easily.

I’m not sure the same can be said of singular events like a sonic boom.

This reminds me of the US patent approval system. There are too many claims to properly vet them all, so just "click and submit" and only put effort into the ones that come back to complain. (Except the PTO is biased toward approval and not rejection, of course.)
As others have hinted at, most would agree it's only unethical if these LLMs are conscious/sentient and suffering in some way. But when you consider that the way these LLMs work, and the underlying computer hardware, and how vastly different it is from the human brain, it's safe to conclude it's extremely unlikely these LLMs are conscious/sentient. It's far more likely that these LLMs are simulating/emulating human emotion in their responses, but it's extremely unlikely they're actually experiencing these feelings. I, as a human, can pretend to feel happy or angry or nervous or confident when texting/chatting online, and I believe that's all that's happening in these LLMs.

There are far greater ethical concerns to worry about when it comes to these LLMs. Like most other technologies, they're going to be abused greatly for nefarious purposes. These LLMs often produce inaccurate or incorrect information (hallucinations), and this bad info is already flooding the internet. Likewise, AIs will make bad decisions, and people and corporations are already carelessly hooking up these AIs to APIs that can do real damage. These LLMs require extensive computational power and consume far more energy than many other things you do online, which is bad for the environment. Many people are at risk of losing their jobs to AI. And there are likely many other ethical concerns but I'm not going to try to list them all.
I use https://ticktick.com/ for this and I'm 100% happy after years of jumping between GTD style apps (OmniFocus combined with Obsidian being a close 2nd). Todo lists, markdown notes, and a calendar. 3 critical organization apps combined in the same interface, all I need.
