Similar to how databases are nearly identical superficially. Once you have a non trivial coupling the inertia kicks in. That said, depending on your use case (light usage minimial complex multi sheet macros) the differences are indeed minor.
it's not victim blaming?

I tried the application. Here's some of my thoughts:

1. You can't explore before registering.

2. The only tags are software development related.

3. The exploration/filtering by age or country is none of what I'd want to filter by. I'd only want to filter by "interest" (things beside programming, which isn't there).

With that said, good website otherwise - didn't hit any other problems and fairly straight-forward.
I did not claim llama was open source, but I see the url I posted insinuates that (probably for a contorted meaning of open source, as in source available for approved academics).

Anyway, T5 being available for download from Huggingface only makes my question more pertinent...
One time I used that approach was in a small startup. I was working with frontend contractors, so I collaborated with them on FRs, API design, and bug reports, but it was mostly separate coding-wise. TDD and docs mattered a lot due to the 12hr time diff and language barrier. The only other backend dev came at the end, and I handed the whole thing off to him. Aside from that, business people.

I only write code that's just good enough. My goal was to quickly handle the business requirements that were a bit of a moving target and keep prod stable, and I did. If we had more people, a few parts of it would've been handed off as services that work similarly to my piece. And I know they would've been fine because my system was nothing special or pretentious, just your typical NodeJS/Postgres backends plus a few other pieces. The frontend devs understood it well enough to tweak new features occasionally if I was asleep.

Big Tech(tm) team would've been fine with this too. We have roughly the same-size system and resources I did, and similar relations with internal customers, except 5 backend SWEs instead of 1, and except we're forced to do things the hard way. FRs take forever, and the system is flaky.
I can’t see how it could be conceived To work like bitcoin. The only reason that works is because a majority of humans agree to use the same code.

Automation increases employment. Technological unemployment is a myth.

The purpose of a UBI isn't for workers whether they're unemployed by AI or not, it's for non-working household members like new parents, elderly and children. (Poverty is a household phenomenon, not an individual phenomenon.)
It’s even more frustrating when the posted link is just someone having fun on their own personal blog. It’s not like the author forced it in the homepage, they just wrote something they found fun or interesting, and shared it around.
Even if the data was there. Is it worth it if employees are much happier with remote work? It should really not be a binary question whether the productivity is higher or lower.
> It seems like the process of populating the top tiers in large orgs routinely sifts out people who know how to cooperate, and promote the people who only know how to dominate.

This is an inherent trait of our modern result-driven system. Being able to dominate is a key trait for a successful executive in this culture, and anyone saying otherwise is just trying to sell books.

As egalitarian as we might think our modern work culture is, the idea that leading by cooperation just isn't true. Successful executives at big companies are able to make it look like they lead by cooperation (and sometimes do cooperate in the process) while fully maintaining control. And many don't even try to pretend to be cooperative.
There’s some possible history further back in our languages where kala might have meant darker not just black.

Similarly the etymology of Krishna (the deity) is both considered “dark” or “black” depending on whom you ask.

I suspect it may be a case where our languages at the time didn’t need to delineate between black and a dark colour. Tone/shade was a relative unlike hue.
Most of the capital invested in incandescent technology was related to the Phoebus cartel. The pressure to make incandescent efficient was just never there until very recently.

LED has severe problems, some solvable, some not. The article mentions flicker, but really should have specified. Nearly all LED drivers employ PWM. There are constant current LED drivers, and they are more efficient than PWM drivers, but PWM drivers are cheaper to design and manufacture. While many will claim PWM doesn't bother them because they can't detect it, they're not only exhibiting callousness for those that are bothered and harmed by PWM, they're falling into a fallacious trap, i.e. what they don't know and can't detect can't harm them, which is patently false, and one counter example is carbon monoxide. PWM LED drivers are now ubiquitous, and its effects range from annoying to painful, as anyone that has experienced migraine can attest.

Regarding the actual light LED produces, nearly all LED available are weighted towards the blue spectrum, and this light has been shown to massively mess with wildlife and shorten human lifespans by years by disrupting circadian rhythm, which strangely can lead to diabetes and heart disease.

LED proponents are obsessed with brightness, but this is also a trap, because brightness is not as important as what can be seen. Consensus among lighting and eye experts is that more can be seen with a dimmer light that reproduces color perfectly than with a much brighter light that does not.

As these issues with LED are mitigated, the drivers become more expensive and the LEDs become less efficient. And as the article mentions, the phosphors of better color-producing LEDs will fade rather quickly and over time no longer reproduce colors accurately. And let's realize that the best LED can ever achieve, what the technology has always been striving for, is to perfectly match what incan does with little to no development. Maybe someday LED light will perfectly match incan light, but it is not today and it isn't next year.

What it starts to look like, if the trend can be detected, is that as we fully mitigate the problems of LED, the more expensive it becomes until its cost and durability nearly reaches parity with what we already have with incandescent. It's starting to become a wash.

So unlike LED, if incan can be made more efficient, and there is a massive amount of room for improvement in efficiency there, then incandescent undoubtedly will return and dominate the lighting market. I liberally estimated 20 years, but it may take longer, but it really doesn't matter to my major point, which is that incandescent is coming back, and this is a very very good thing, because LED light, as efficient as it is, still absolutely sucks.
I think a lot of it is lies... I used to observe that tweeting anything remotely political went straight to trending timelines, so did tweets about crypto and NFTs...

I doubt that Twitter and most of these social platforms are driven by Ai... Maintaining and changing complex algos could not be done on a rapid pace like what occurs now... I think Twitter has moderators, and scripts that control everything, and it can be more easily adjusted to tweak what is visible on the platform based on whatever agenda they want to represent (politics, revenue, PR/damage control).

Twitter frequently bends the rules to serve celebrities, politics, and sponsors and for that they need to be able to quickly adjust scripts. True Ai is meant to function on it's own with minimal intervention, and therein a simple change to a massive logic scheme would completely FUBAR everything.

I think there are rooms full of people that filter and either promote or suppress posts on Twitter every day, namely suppressing any tweets critical of the platform and it's owner... I've noticed that at night time hours, moderation of Tweets is less restrictive as a cue to what goes on there.

There are certain topics that are not moderated as heavily as others (3d Design and other non-controversial topics), and some topics (for example music and porn) that are restricted heavily visibility-wise because they force people to run ads to rank in trending (because it generates a lot of opportunistic money for Twitter as a platform).

Users that are critical of the platform and Elon and his allies (for example) can easily be neutered by moderators and put on shadow ban for any period of time in order to preserve the illusion of calm concerning Twitter operations. Complaints about Twitter only become visible when the majority of the audience tweets about problems (as that can't be moderated out without exposing moderation).

It's pretty much all smoke and mirrors there in order to maintain order in my opinion, and it's pretty much futile and torturous to people who just want to create and seize opportunity for their business without spending tons of money on platform marketing...
There is not information, but from what I read, I would try the following exercise. Practice reading a couple of paragraphs of a text. Then, out loud, summarize those two paragraphs in a couple of sentences. Leaving something out is a necessity, then.
Salesforce is a plague on every company it buys. They completely ruined Heroku and I expect it won't be long before Slack starts to suffer.
It's a nice thought. But many humans aren't able to do that with each other, so it seems like a high bar for a potato.
I keep hoping and wishing that Rivian will add CarPlay support to the R1T. It's the only electric pickup truck that I'm remotely interested in right now, but no CarPlay is an absolute non-starter. It disqualifies that truck as a purchasing option for me (and I suspect many others). For now, I'll keep saving and waiting.
Maybe I am being dumb, but isn’t the opposite true? Or is that the joke?

I can’t tell if the joke is that backwards compatibility is good or whether it’s that the languages are switched there

"Affecting jobs" is really a short term problem that can be addressed with training and probably bridge loans from the government. It's not like we've run out of problems to solve. There are still diseases to cure, environmental issues such as climate change and habitat loss to address, the human yearning to "spread to the stars" and colonate Mars. Loneliness, unhappiness, the desire to have a real person make a hand cooked meal, the desire for better television shows, the desire for better video games, the desire for more immersive less seasickmaking AR/VR. There are a million things that need to be done, so why are we so afraid of running out of things to do?

The fair Director stated that she needed to be sure that this child learned an important life lesson. her parents also taught this child a lesson. The lesson is that you do not hide your ethics behind the law. The law is mutable, you need to have lines in the sand that are not. civil disobedience in the face of something in ethical happening is the right thing to do. Note- MLK- for starters. and saying ‘I was just following orders’- Is a poor excuse

It seems obvious - the people who make the decisions about who to hire and fire aren't going to volunteer themselves for the chopping block.
The big difference between the two is how much damage occurs if the AI screws up. We don't have self driving fleets right now because a multi-ton truck hurtling down the freeway at 65+ mph can do a lot of damage. AI generated artwork is inert so it can be safely used as a substitute for the human generated stuff. I would expect speed of adoption to operate at inverse proportion to potential harm.

image -> text -> code -> self-driving vehicles

It's really reductive to just put all code in a single bucket, but most code probably isn't super critical for safety and it can be tested before it gets released/reviewed. I think that's the biggest differentiator from real time applications like self driving cars.
In the spirit of "knowing enough to be dangerous", I know just enough of who Raph is and the languages discussed to know that he knows what he's talking about, but not enough to realise this is satire, and too hungover to know what the date is.

I'm not much into food. I'm kinda the "I eat because I have to." My disclaimer is that I'm not an expert but here are a few interesting stories that might be relevant to this story.

I come from a place where there is a huge influence of the Japanese and grew up in folklores punctuated with Japanese stories. I got to know a tad more, when one of my school-friend took a keen interest in digging up British and Japanese soldiers remains from the World War, built a museum, and is regularly invited as a diplomat by both the Japanese and the British.

I grew up visiting many Japanese monuments, including the last stand of the INA's holding place in India where Subhas Chandra Bose worked with the Japanese.

For the food, from the story, I'm of the believe that the curry is more Bengal-ish than further mainland India. The food from my place are a major blend of our olden recipes spiced up with the Bengali recipe, with an additional dose of East Asia.

Also, most Indian Restaurants in India, if not owned, are pretty much run (cooks, etc.) by Nepalese. And most "Chinese" restaurants by Bengalis. Of course, the "Chinese" food in India are, well, very very Indian-ised.

I also grow up memorizing most scenes from "Bridge on the River Kwai" as that bridge, after crossing, goes through my home-stage to advance into India during the war.
Ahh, this reminds me of Toaster Strudel, of which I ate more as a child than I did Pop Tarts.
>> The latest breakthroughs in artificial intelligence could lead to the automation of a quarter of the work done in the US and eurozone, according to research by Goldman Sachs.

This is Goldman Sachs, so take it with a big grain of salt. In 2017, they predicted huge job losses from self-driving cars:

Self-driving cars could cost America’s professional drivers up to 25,000 jobs a month, Goldman Sachs says

>> When autonomous vehicle saturation peaks, U.S. drivers could see job losses at a rate of 25,000 a month, or 300,000 a year, according to a report from Goldman Sachs Economics Research.

>> The report estimates that semi- and fully autonomous car sales will have about 20 percent share of car sales around 2025 to 2030.

If it's from Goldman Sachs, and it's a prediction about a technology making a smash on social media, you can rest assured it's speculation with the hope of influencing the markets to make an investment so that Goldman Sachs can profit.

among the lessons of responsibility should be you are responsible for your own ethics and your own morals and there should be lines that if you believe in those lines that you do not cross- no matter what the law says. for example all of the abolitionists and those helping slaves escape through the underground railroad or breaking the law. having said that they are still responsible. they held that their responsibility was to a greater ethics than that which is simply legal especially as the law is changeable. this child learned a good lesson in that lesson is that sometimes you do what is right in your heart rather than what the law says to do and she learned that her parents have her back

> not that it makes it any less impressive!

Covering three sides is exactly the same amount of impressive as covering six sides?

I can imagine the impressiveness isn’t linear with sides, so it doesn’t have to half as impressive, but I would expect some dependence.

Maybe it saturates? So covering three sides is peak impressiveness, and any more sides has no effect?

Although your language leaves open the possibility that covering three sides is more impressive than covering six sides. Not sure why that would be, but maybe three sides is the optimum?

No, police are very explicitly choosing to not enforce traffic laws.
Some forms of liability only scale with the ability of the justice system to mete out suitable punishment. Murder is disincentivized because the punishment is, essentially, losing your freedom and sovereignty entirely.

This plays both a role individually and socially. It's important to the individual's calculus to understand what is at stake and it's importance to them. It's also important socially for people to feel safe that punishment is commensurate and sufficient.

This doesn't seem to be the sort of thing that scales to companies or AI. It's not clear to me what the analogue would be, it's not clear that these analogues would serve the important social purposes they must, and it's not clear that the justice system has the power or capability to deliver these punishments.

Today's society is, in large part, based on the ability for society/governments to enact brutal violence on bad actors at a scale commensurate, in the worst cases, with their entire being.
This isn’t really true: it’s not got anything to do with relatively specifically, it’s just because of the finite and varying time for messages to travel between points in a distributed system. So it’s about physics but not about relativistic physics. A Newtonian universe with finite speed of light would have the same phenomenon.

That said, the analogy with causality in relativity and light cones etc is useful, and it’s no coincidence that Lamport wrote a book on general relativity before he turned to distributed systems.
Right, it's switched around compared to the rest of the post.
If it's an April Fool's joke, then posting ChatGPT-generated comments to the thread should also be acceptable. A few iterations, a request for extra snark, and some judicious editing gets us this:

> "Ah yes, the timeless debate of Rust vs C++. It's like watching two old men argue about whose flip phone has better reception. At this point, who cares? The fights over one's choice of programming language are like a bunch of kids arguing over which color crayon is the best. It's petty, pointless, and ultimately irrelevant to the bigger picture. At the end of the day, what matters is not the language you use, but the quality of the code you produce. Choosing a programming language is like choosing a tool for a job – you should use the one that is most appropriate for the task at hand. Whether it's C++, Rust, Python, or whatever else floats your boat, the key is to use it effectively and efficiently. So, instead of wasting time arguing over programming languages, let's focus on writing good code and solving real-world problems. After all, nobody cares what language you used to create the next big thing, as long as it works and gets the job done."

A project about learning while learning is a great way to go.

It’s really nice to hear you are a self taught developer. There is a different kind of free thinking and creativity to solve problems that comes from your path that others won’t have, and doesn’t have to be understood, only experienced.

the site looks real nice. Congrats and keep shipping.

People who use it are the only opinions that matter. This site makes you someone who makes something people want, while solving your own problem as a student, both of which YC like if you ever are interested one day down the road.

Feedback:

Instead of age you might be referring to stage of learning (complete beginner, some exposer, some experience, intermediate, advanced, etc).

Uncovering another way a group of people like to connect and start learning together around those topics is really good. You might be surprised if you modify the age guidelines for the following reason:

- Learning with other pellets around the same stage in a fantastic way to support peer based learning where people are a little ahead and behind of each other and end up reinforcing their own learning by explaining things to others and helping them, and also being helped.

- Having groups with synced schedules is a cool feature. If you focused on students globally their schedules would be different from time zones. Since the time zones would be different, there might be an opportunity to just do it by stage.

- Self-directed learners typically don’t stop learning at any age, they are usually good at being beginners in any age of their life because there is always something new to learn, or to learn from scratch. It lightheaded be hard to imagine it but a beginner to Python at 40 not much different than 18.

- If the site focuses even more on communicating learning stage, and being especially for self directed learners (but all are welcome) that might prove to help get even more of the types of users you are after.

- I agree I don’t think slapping an external discord chat and forums on a course is helpful as much as it’s convenient for the course creator. Chat and discussion should be built in seamlessly like other things we use. Edtech is generally poor at mindful learning and user experiences.

- You may like learning about the difference between pedagogy (how children learn) and andragogy (how adults learn) pedagogy can wrap up around 18-22 and after that learning and coming back to it can be a bit different.

If you’re interested to chat, I’ve also been building online learning since I was 16 or 17. That meant helping design and build a platform to deliver high school, college/university and then industry education and training. I’m into video now as it relates to learning.
