I totally agree. I loved that you could understand more or less the entire language's set of additions to C by reading one relatively short document.

JavaScript used to have the same appeal, before it started evolving. Despite the rough edges and some poor decisions, you could still grok the entire thing pretty quickly and appreciate how it works.

Of course, I have my own bias here, but it really did feel like they fit well together in Objective-J.
I have never seen that happen.

I have seen people who were loyal and worked for the same company for 20 years be thrown to the curb like trash, and they were not poor performers.

You are just a number on a spreadsheet, and if you have been there awhile its an expensive number, you are probably older with a larger salary and higher healthcare costs.
You’re always free to go back. Unlike many collectivist countries, we won’t stop you from leaving, or try to force you to do things in general. So it’s not unsurprising that your attempts at forcing others to pay for your things is met with hostility when you and others that share your views don’t even want to face those policies themselves.
Needs to do a bit more. It choked on a 400 page doc site I tried (at least with the free tier I have access too).

I would really like to see it in action on a docbase I'm familiar with, though.

I’ve never seen a unionized software company make good software. And I’ve seen lots of different types of software.

I don’t think programmers are interchangeable cogs and there’s so much variance and diversity across people, I wouldn’t want to work for a company that paid me the same as everyone else and fired based on seniority.

Yes, the plan is to keep the original weights in VRAM and merge/unmerge LoRA weights on the fly. You can even cache a large library of LoRA ckpts in RAM.

Are you designing for LLM to LLM communication, or do you still expect humans to understand and work with this language?
Ah yes, I wanted to add that but forgot. Agree on that one. If they can explain to me how it works, how it was built (and not just "I curl $aicorp"), then it's probably positive rather than negative. We do have to get to that stage, though.
they may have the same cardinality, but one infinite sentence is obviously longer than the other infinite sentence.

So like a recruiting agency that does pre-screening? That is a thing already.
Seems like you want a code generator. For some problems I admit I have missed a proper, integrated code generator. C macros is, like you say, hacky.

However, personally I strongly dislike dynamic languages for anything beyond simple programs, ie <100 LOC. Gets way to hard to reason about the code, since you never know what a function returns. In Python for example I invariably end up sprinkling dir(...) all over when modifying code.

So it would have to be used sparingly I think.

Hugging Face and other collaborators led the creation of BLOOM. Given how hot the competition is, I imagine some team will take advantage of this soon...
Apologies, I've sort of been struggling with how to present the concept clearly and concisely. Here's an overview of where the idea came from: https://lunette.app/about

Basically, my wife and I both write, and we found ourselves bouncing around from app to app looking for something that felt good and like a place we could really be productive and creative but never found anything that felt quite right, both in terms of functionality and aesthetics. Products like Medium are subject to constantly changing business models and identities. Google Docs is cluttered and uninspiring. Notes apps probably came the closest... but this big realization was that writing is a process that's just one of many things you might do in any of those apps, and there are things that happen while writing prose that could be augmented if the app were specifically designed around that use-case.

As I mentioned in the about page, the first such discovery was that almost all writers I spoke to were doing the thing where they come up with ideas spontaneously and usually just type up those ideas at random places in the document, which makes a mess of everything. We set out to solve that problem as an MVP, but the broader goal is to continue to develop the app around the writer's use-case and make wrangling concepts into prose an easier process.
Taking a paper and turning it into working production code is a non-trivial process, 100%.

Training big models takes a lot of random reads/writes and those tend to be pretty latency sensitive. There _may_ be a way to train this BitTorrent style with donated compute, but it's hard to say how many orders of magnitude slower that would be. (Do you need 2x more compute to do it distributes? 10? 100x?)

It is an interesting question to be able to explore this space more!
>boasts about how he's a professor or something (he doesn't even live near the uni?)

I've listened to at least dozens of his podcasts and I have never heard anything like this. You may be thinking of something else. It does come up that he used to work with self-driving cars but only when it's relevant, it doesn't come across as boasting IMO (he doesn't even claim to be an expert, only familiar with the main ideas of the time).
He spent most of his career at Microsoft, so I suspect he might have had an opinion on it.
Seems like it was posted by the same person, so I guess they didn't get enough traction two weeks ago and felt the need to repost it.
> The Standard Model has some issues but it's, in principle, a valid effective description of all the fundamental forces minus gravity.

Yes. Theoretical particle physics has done a wonderfully good job in explaining everything it can. But now the job is done. Should move on and do something else. But because the institutions are too established, and past glory is too good, they don't know how.
Same for Australian English.

Closing their eyes, and throwing darts at the historical record of your three-point "NI/Meets/Exceeds" score, where you are on the org chart, and whether you're being paid more than your peers.

If there was any method to their madness, you wouldn't be seeing people with strong performance histories getting canned (In divisions that haven't been shut down).
Agreed. In my most recent round of hiring, I used the presence of a relevant cover letter as a point in favor of the applicant when deciding whether to invite them in for an intro call. It showed me the person actually looked into the company a little bit and wasn't just spamming. It also helped weed out the spam since I'd get cover letters telling me how excited the applicant was to work at a web3 fintech while we're doing almost the exact opposite thing. Don't get me wrong; I think like 85% of people I invited back for calls did not have a cover letter, but it really helped in the weeding process.

If it becomes an effortless throwaway generated by an AI, it no longer has value. Additionally, you may be shooting yourself in the foot. If I see something in a cover letter that catches my eye, I'm going to bring it up in our call to learn more. Not to quiz you or play gotcha, but because it probably intreagues me and I want to learn more. If an AI wrote it and you don't know what you submitted to the job posting, that's not going to reflect well in a call.
There is a middle ground. On one side you have working massive unpaid overtime and stressing out, and on the other side you have WFH bludgers who spend 90% of their time on YouTube and reddit knowing they will get away with it.

Then there is actually doing the work you are paid for and putting a good effort in but not letting it extend unreasonably beyond hours and not letting it stress you out. It’s actually far more rewarding to do this where you actually care about the work you do and feel some pride in it vs completely disassociating.
Yes, we plan to do this in background workers soon so that it can carry the load.

“I've heard sonic booms before at air shows, and it's not some quiet little "beep". They're loud and disturbing.”

I highly doubt you’ve heard a sonic boom at an airshow, it’s illegal to perform them and has been for a long time. A true sonic boom performed at low altitude at an airshow would blow out the eardrums of every attendant at the show and all the windows in every car in the parking lot. Only the military is allowed to cause them and only for very good reason. There was a recent case in the UK where fighter jets caused a sonic boom as they were scrambled to respond to a malfunctioning plane; the video is here https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fGR96Zz0dXk and it had people from over 20km away calling the police to report that a bomb had gone off somewhere nearby.

What you’ve heard at airshows is close to a sonic boom, it’s called “tickling the cone” and it’s highly compressed but not collapsed sound waves. It resembles the regular roar of an airplane, but packed into a few seconds. Very different to a sonic boom, which sounds exactly like an explosion.

(The practical upshot is this strengthens your argument.)
So AI resumes and AI cover letters are now being auto-submitted to AI generated automated job postings then parsed by hiring AI. What an absolute circus this is becoming.
You could, but you could also maintain the status quo. Not everything needs a market based solution.
easy in a few steps:

- start off by thinking you know everything better than anyone else

- kick off a rewrite, introduce a lot of bugs and unhanded corner cases that were previously covered by "ugly code"

- leave the work half done and get reassigned or better yet promoted because you "clearly" know what you are talking about

If they actually proofread or edit it, how are you going to know? How is it any worse than some job coach formulaically writing it based on the job description and resume? Cover letters are ignored all the time, and generally just serve to add as friction to reduce candidates.

Every business has insurance, including insurance companies. This is because they specialize in their own business and outsource non-core business.

An insurance provider for a specific industry has teams of skilled attorneys that are expert in that specific domain. Cigna might self insure if they consider medical malpractice a core part of their business. In that case, your attorney sends the letter to their corporate counsel.

Often times, day to day business people just ignore liability risks because it's not in their core mandate. But the corporate counsel is in charge of managing legal risk, and they will see such a situation as unacceptable. Corporate counsels also hold a lot of sway within a businesses structure.
What is it all about? I have paid account at ChatGPT, i asked it and it doesn't know of any such thing.
Is it something for privileged ones? At least I cannot understand it from the article.

Here is a dialog with ChatGPT I had after reading the article.

Is it true that you are now able to search in internet?

As an AI language model, I am not able to actively search the internet in real-time. My knowledge is based on the text corpus that I was trained on, which includes data up until September 2021. I am unable to access or browse the web for current or updated information. If you have any questions, I can try to help you based on the knowledge I have, but please be aware that it might not include the latest developments or updates.

What are possible outcomes of recent Xi Tzinping's visit to Russia?

As an AI model, I don't have real-time information on current events, and my knowledge is limited to data up to September 2021. Therefore, I cannot provide specific details about recent events such as Xi Jinping's visit to Russia.

However, based on historical precedent and general knowledge of diplomacy, I can suggest some possible outcomes that might occur when leaders from two countries engage in high-level talks...

I’ve done a fair bit of not-specifically-compensated overtime over my career.

In my 20s and early 30s, if I didn’t have anything going on socially or sports on a given evening, I was pretty likely going to write code (for enjoyment). Sometimes that was for me, but often it was for the company.

I built an always on local OCR system that used ML on CPU/GPU a few years ago and I can say with confidence it doesn’t use much. We literally scanned your entire screen every two seconds and it used less than 1% in total, and this was before CoreML which is far more efficient. I think it’s FUD that it is that significant.

>They already are very low signal.

This must vary a lot on context. For the hiring I've done, they're usually a 'low signal' only because they are so uniformly poor. I do read them, and a cogent, original letter immediately stands out.
Realise that this means more recruiters and it being a hugely valuable service all of a sudden, whereas today it is maybe neutral on the average (helpful for some, annoying for most). Since random strangers on the internet couldn't be trusted in this possible scenario, recruiting firms could be the ones to build up reputations of having suitable/legitimate candidates. You might not realistically be able to get around them.

More middle (wo)men does not sound like an improvement. But to be fair, I don't really know what the deal is with cover letters. When applying to a job, I always write some text in the email that explains why I can do that job and why I'm interested at all, it's not like I just drop my CV on an email address and trust the recipient to take it from there. The application process may be different in NL/DE versus whereever OP lives, or for my line of work compared to theirs.
