Pumping government money into private markets always works this way.

A good example of this is the TV digital converter boxes, when we switched the airwaves from analog to digital. Those boxes were only 10 or 15 bucks or so. But then the government gave everyone vouchers for 40 bucks for a converter box. So, guess what? All the converter boxes were 40 bucks, or more. Because they could be. It was free money. The money would've been far better used by the government just giving the converter boxes directly.
I also used a similar pattern in reverse to process incoming messages that had to be partially processed in-order: one simple worker that dumped the queue to a Postgres table at full speed and N workers that used a slightly more complicated SELECT ... FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED query than usual to pick up the next message that could be safely processed. Again, using a single database made transactions very simple: only the message-dumping worker had to worry about processing messages exactly once (which it did via being conservative with acking and utilizing INSERT ... ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING), every other worker could just implicitly rely on database transactions).

I'm curious how the predictive aspect of LLMs can generate / "solve" equations. Is it purely "these inputs are most likely followed by this output", and thus needs to have actually seen the problem to get it right, or is it able to infer some of the rules underlying the operations?

> But I am not placing any moral value on either greed or capitalism

That is a missed opportunity

* Capitalism: A system where who owns resources matters more tan who needs them is a morally bankrupt system. A system where starvation and homelessness is an acceptable outcome

* Greed. Greed is bad for everybody. Concentrates scarce resources where they are not needed, that too is moral bankruptcy
This is so important if you want to avoid incredibly gnarly race conditions. In particular for us: jobs being run even before the transaction has been fully committed to the database.

We utilise a decorator for our job addition to external queues, such that the function that does the addition gets attached to Django's "on transaction commit" signal and thus don't actually get run until the outer database transaction for that request has been committed.

That's gonna happen unfortunately. People don't read resumes closely. If you think it's important, make sure to mention it during the interview. Unfortunately you have to learn to talk like a politician and answer the question you want to answer instead of the one they asked, while still making them feel like you answered their questions.

Is trying to be the “essential CRDT”? CRDT didn’t spring from the quivering Internet jello fully formed in 2006. I feel this should go further back. I recall doing CRDT-like things for distributed message threading in ’97, and I’m pretty sure it wasn’t original work. E.g. I recall some reading some paper[1] at the time which referenced Lamport’s 1978 note on distributed time[2].

The Awesome CRDT[3] references earlier material too.

I'm curious how you're dealing with Reddit: some of the mods don't even respond to a direct message; they just say "read the guidelines." And then their auto-mod deletes your post.
You've over simplified the problem. Yes infinite resources would solve this. However, the cost is astronomical. You require not just the vaccine but the infrastructure to support it in regions that are very far off this level of infrastructure. It will take generations of political stability in these nations to get there. That doesn't look likely anytime soon.
Getting good enough that you can make a pun in a foreign language is almost entirely worth it, if you can spare the time.
> Weird how me and hundreds of millions of people can do without it then.

Weird how you can't realize that the actual truth value of that perception is a function of the truth value of the accusation itself.

> I have no idea what you meant about clairvoyance.

The truth value of "You don't need to believe in God or in miracles to have any of that" (or, "me and hundreds of millions of people can do without it") is a function of the experiences of the individual human beings in the referenced set. You do not actually have access to that, so your mind whipped up a virtual proxy of reality to stand in for reality itself. In your culture, this supernatural practice is considered normal, so no one even bats an eye at it. In my experience, most people consider it ~crazy to not do this.
> If you don't want me stealing and reusing your licensed open source code don't make it public

A practical matter, larger point completely aside: a nonzero number of individuals and corps will indeed use licensed code internally if they come across it and they feel it helps their goals.
To some degree. But if you purposefully program in a toolstrike and ignore the warnings you'll get a toolstrike and depending on how beefy the tool/machine is the damage may well be considerable. Hold down clamps are a particularly good source of toolstrikes.

I'm not an US citizen nor have any interest in being one, employed full time, and on a non-profit already, so my agenda is full.

That said given how things have gone the last few decades, I do think I could do a better job at this point. I don't doubt there are people far better suited than I, but I'm pretty confident I could do better than the current state.

I can appreciate they want folks to deploy more AWS resources, but without a demo it's hard to know if it's worth the energy

And by demo, I mean they actually ingested the AWS documentation so it is in their best interest to wire this up to docs-staging.aws.amazon.com or some such, with any necessary "this is not supported, it may go away at any time". They're playing with house money, after all
For context, I suspect this has been posted after Martin Kleppmanna (one of the creators of CRDTs) post today:

Yeah that "clever trick" has no doubt cost tens of thousands of lives. If not more.
It's brutal. I've been looking since January and only just found a new role. Usually finding a new job has just been setting my LinkedIn status to open to work, tapping a few people in my network and sitting back and waiting for the offers. It's rarely taken more than a month.

January and February frankly scared me. Aggressively looking as opposed to my usual passive approach and I was getting nothing back. Just silence. I was refereed to a position I was a perfect fit in terms of background for by a previous colleague, and got no reply. They asking internally weren't able to find out anything either. No one's been hired and the listing is still up.

March things finally started gaining some traction and I was finally able to land a new position. I actually had two offers, one I frankly didn't want and was feeling like I'd have to do anyway given I had no other leads, and a couple days later one I was pretty excited about.

So there is hope. I'd say things are visibly improving, but I expect it to suck for awhile. I think I may be a little lucky in that my primary skill-sets are a little niche, so while there are less jobs out there that are a match, it also means I'm competing with 10s (or less) instead of 100s that are a strong match. So for the average Java/.NET/React dev I expect it's harder to stand out.

One thing I'd note since you mentioned Apple/Facebook, I ended up taking a ~25% pay-cut with this search, and I wasn't making anything like a FAANG salary. I don't know what your targetting, but if your providing a range when submitting applications, you might want to research salaries for the company on sites like Glassdoor and consider if you need to set your sights lower.
I don't know, living off of the grid sounds like it can get pretty uncomfortable. She doesn't really seem like the roughing it type. She probably has a better chance of using her money and connections to try and overturn the conviction on appeal, or maybe beg a future president for a pardon.
The only idea that could be worse is having a multitude of private lending entities that collect almost all the profits backed by only one public entity that's stuck with almost all of the risk. A marxist might call it "dictatorship of the capitalist class" but any honest libertarian would call it an obvious moral hazard.
So the first request costs 100 units of carbon and is cached, user 1 pays 100 units.

The second request then comes from the cache so is served from the cache for just 10 units.

Does user 2 pay 10, or do they pay 55 and user 1 gets a rebate of 45 units?
> I've worked on an inpatient psychiatric unit, and while the doctors might not be "mad", it absolutely is torture. The most obvious example is sleep deprivation, which is definitely torture. This is done in the name of "helping" the person (by checking on them), but makes things so much worse.

Checking on them how often?

Is it worse than a normal hospital?
There is, actually. Just not on all machines. Typically there is a current sensor and you can set some pretty tight tolerances on what is acceptable under cutting load. This also helps to detect worn out tooling (though normally you'd pre-program this in advance, but there are workpieces that are so large they'll wear out the tool in less than one pass).

Yeah tailoring your resume is an exercise in futility when the most common outcome is either no response or an auto reject email.

Changing a few keywords or whatever is one thing, but trying to go bullet-point accuracy for the listing is a total waste of time when 95% of the time the resume is never viewed by a human.
Him cutting through a motor had nothing to do with him cutting through a motor. His point was everyone had the authority to do whatever they needed to do to make sure their respective scopes were handled and it emphasized the importance of ga 3.5.

for when it really matters, then you should just use a Postgres Function. That will be an order of magnitude faster than anything you do to match the region.

Supabase has auto-generated APIs (using PostgREST), so you can execute a Postgres Functions like this:

const { data, error } = await supabase.rpc('echo', { hello: 'world' })
Americans’ IQ scores are lower in some areas, higher in one
Musk is the least of my concerns, I can ignore his account if I cared that much. I can't really ignore that a lot of higher quality accounts have been interacting less because Twitter has become a technical mess, fucking up their timelines and notifications. This sort of loss is quiet, and slow. You only really notice it when it's too late, when your feed is nothing but mindless ads and random accounts you never followed shilling the latest thing on amazon.

The only reason most larger accounts are still "active" is because nobody wants to have to rebuild elsewhere without strong commitment from platform owners - and outside of Tumblr, nobody has really done that. Except maybe now with Substack, we'll see.

Can anyone answer the chance that example tests of these questions were in its training set?

And it's just regurgitating the answers someone else wrote?

As I imagine it's a very high chance given how much uni lecturers recycle exam questions.

When I was at uni you could just get the last 5 years worth of questions from the library for almost any subject and guess what the questions were probably going to be. Often they just changed a few numbers.

Teaching undergrads is like a sausage factory, the actual intellectual value for undergrads is in the seminars, the practical value in the labs. The rest is showing you can regurgitate what you've been told.

Which ChatGPT excels at.
Doesn't seem to be stopping people from trying lol. A week after this article posted, and requests to the CA housing agency's website [1] are still timing out both in my browser and via `ping`.

But yeah, as others have said, this is throwing fuel on a fire. The problem to solve for is a lack of affordable supply, not a lack of money on the demand side. But throwing money at voters is never a bad move politically, so it's understandable how we ended up where we are.

Um, there's not a whole lot of economic laws that are less controversial than the law of diminishing marginal utility. I'll give you a rough outline.

If you own a good G, that you could use to satisfy either a desire D1, or a competing desire D2, you will logically choose to use G to satisfy the greater one of these two desires - the one with the greater subjective utility to you. Let's assume that is D1.

Now, if instead of 1 you have 2 of G, you can satisfy both D1 and D2. As we have already established that the utility you have derived from consuming the first G to achieve D1 must be greater than the utility derived from consuming the second G to achieve D2, the utility of the additional unit of G is diminished when compared to the previous one.

>No negativity towards AI here. It’s amazing and it’ll change the future. But we need to be careful on the way.

Yeah, I suspect a lot of fields will have a similar trajectory to how AI has impacted radiology.

It might catch the tumor in 99.9999% of cases, better than any human doctor. But missing a malignant tumor 0.0001% of the time is unacceptable, because it spikes the hospital's malpractice costs. So every single scan still has to be reviewed manually by a doctor first, then by the AI as a fallback.

In theory there's some insurance scheme that could overcome this, but in practice when you have software reviewing millions of scans a day you're opening yourself up to class action lawsuits in a way no competent human doctor would.

I find it more likely that it all just falls apart. All of the novelty gone. All of the integrations unnecessary. The internet nearly pointless, aside from chat rooms and social entertainment, as there is no need to interact with anything but your AI. There will be things that are built and which will significantly impact the real world, but it will only be a matter of time until novelty becomes commodity, interesting becomes mundane. I imagine a bigger global focus on sustainability and research that AI’s cannot facilitate.

I don't come from a design background but my father drilled into my skull that nobody cared about my beautiful skills at work. They cared about their problems and if I could solve them.

Coding just happen to be a mean to solve their problems, but they don't understand code, and I don't understand their problem.

After a lot of frustrating client/dev interactions, I came to read "don't make me think" from Steve Krug. I realized the UI was the only language I shared with my customers to start a meaningful discussion.

I also don't think it's going to a be lineair growth. 4 is really good, but for writing 3.5 gave better results in some cases.
