I do agree, but listen... this is supposed to be handy solution. You know, my app already uses MongoDB, why do I need another component if I can run my notifications with a collection?

Also, I am firm believer that you should not put actual data through notifications. Notifications are meant to wake other systems up, not carry gigabytes of data. You can pack your data into another storage and notify "Hey, here is data of 10k new clients that needs to be processed. Cheers!"

The message is meant to ensure correct processing flow (message has been received, processed, if it fails somebody else will process it, etc.), but it does not have to carry all the data.

I have fixed at least one platform that "reached limits of Kafka" (their words not mine) and "was looking for expert help" to manage the problem.

My solution? I got the component that publishes upload the data to compressed JSON to S3 and post the notification with some metadata and link to the JSON. And the client to parse the JSON. Bam, suddenly everything works fine, no bottlenecks anymore. For the cost of maybe three pages of code.

There is few situation where you absolutely need to track so many individual objects that you have to start caring if they make hard drives large enough. And I managed some pretty large systems.
These still don't seem unique to LLMs.

1. There are many GPU based applications already in production, I've seen work queues, which are used in any system where the load exceeds the capacity, GPU or not.

2. Content moderation is not unique to LLMs

3. Training and serving users at inference time are different beasts

Well I actually did try a few prompts to get it the best I could ! But none were as good as the official, although all better than my own best could possibly be.
If I'm optimizing for my brain, my strengths, and my programming style, bottom up is better. With a particular focus on nailing down the hardest or murkiest part, then the next hardest/murkiest, and so on. This phase can be ugly code if that helps ... the point is to uncover unknowns and let points with the fewest degrees of freedom become the first stakes in the ground.

When there are no particularly hard/murky parts left, it's top-down from there, and that let's you choose the approach for various portions of the solution (such as, this part will be pure functions, this part will be based around an arena allocation, etc.).

Even though I mentioned both bottom-up and top-down, the 10,000 foot summary is bottom-up, because it starts there and the most time is spent in that mode.

Whenever I get away from that and go top down too early, I'm likely to run into some area that either gets reworked, or that I compromise on and _wish_ I could justify the time to rework it.

(And also with the caveat that some things are simple enough you could do them any way you want, and those are good candidates for top-down, which also seems more comfortable for more junior devs).

UPDATE: However, I completely agree with another commentor -- start with the UI first! I don't think that contradicts bottom-up ... it's about fleshing out both the requirements and the _potential_ requirements.
ChatGPT has already found an issue with my relative in the ICU that a literal team of doctors and nurses missed. This just happened last week. Unfortunately we checked ChatGPT retroactively after we went through the screw up.

I think people probably overestimate (maybe vastly) how good at differential diagnosis most doctors are.
Sometimes you can use postgrest, postgraphile, hasura, or some similar contraption to just get a REST or GraphQL API with no effort. Then you can handle the final presentation bits on the client side. Business logic that must exist as non-SQL code can be implemented easily with various REST or graphql frameworks. In Python, for example, you can use FastAPI or Strawberry for nice type safe APIs.

It does take an extra layer of code in many cases, sure. But the architecture is cleaner IMO. Presentation layer lives in one codebase, with a clean link to the data via the API layer. The API layer can abstract different data sources or workflows.
I used to agree with you. The paper that made me unsure was "Transformers learn in-context by gradient descent" [1]. Basically, the model learns weights that let it run gradient descent at inference time in order to do in context learning. If transformers can learn this, then I think they can learn almost anything given enough compute/parameters/data.

Of course, even if this is true then it's possible that there simply isn't enough high quality data, or that the amount of compute required is beyond our current hardware.

Genuinely awesome project - especially fit 'n finish. I have a happy place in my heart for this style of terminal app (TUI++).

I hate to ask this, but do you have any plans for implementing modal editing or vi-style shortcuts? EDIT: I feel so guilty asking this question, that I realized that a second "Alternative Shortcut" field would go a long way for me as well. No expectation that this would be implemented, just sharing my thoughts.

More importantly though: awesome project that I do plan on using for my personal writing project (nonfiction book) and at work.

Your point about liability is valid, but it’s far from “abundantly clear” that society needs machines to be near perfect as opposed to just significantly better than humans.

Solve the liability problem and I would 100% take a machine that performs 30% better than a human or helps a human perform 30% better every time because it means fewer humans die on the road.
I think that we’re moving into Buddhist territory. I think the opposite would happen. It would be the ego death of basically the whole world. No one would be spared from the fact that their consciousness is not special. leaders, elites everyone.

If we find out that the soul itself exists, and who knows, maybe there is actually souls, then it might not be great because people would believe they have special souls. I think this is what the Hindu class system is.

No, the point is, can it DECIDE to do so? Without being prompted? For example can the following dialog happen (no previous programming, cold start):

It can happen with a human, but not with program.

That helps, thanks. Totally possible that I'm just missing the nuances of your implementation.

I'm imagining this is the sorta setup we're comparing:

Row Lock - https://pastebin.com/sgm45gF2
Advisory Lock - https://pastebin.com/73bqfBfV

And if that's accurate, I'm failing to see how an advisory lock would leave the table unblocked for any amount of time greater than row-level locks would.

The point of the explicit row-level locking is to allow a worker to query for fresh rows without fetching any records that are already in-progress (i.e. it avoids what would otherwise be a race condition between the procedural SELECT and UPDATE components of parallel workers), so if you've already queried a list of eligible jobs, and then have your workers take advisory locks, what are those locks synchronizing access to?

You can't plagiarize by copying a single word you learned. You can't plagiarize by learning ideas or common expressions and reusing them.

If you read copywritten material and then pass it off as your own you are plagiarizing. Words in a dictionary don't come under that, but I'd bet that if you released a new dictionary that was mostly copied from the old one, most people would consider that plagiarism as well.

That's not an inherent issue with public transit vs. individual transport though. You are comparing a really bad public transit implementation with a good implementation of individual transport. In many European cities, getting from A to B by public transit is much faster than by car since they don't focus so much on car infra, with all the downsides it brings (huge areas reserved for 10-lane highways and parking everywhere, air pollution, cost of owning/leasing/insuring, ...). If you get good public transit infra, life has one issue less to worry about.

It's pretty neat, I've moved to a European city recently myself and I'm slightly horrified at the prospect of moving back.
An IPO doesn't involve the company paying stockholders. It involves investors paying the company. Then previous stockholders sell their shares to future ones.

And bondholders understand up front that they are getting cash back on a particular date; that's the whole deal with a bond. Stockholders, though, expect profits to come from a functioning enterprise that generates value, not newer stockholders.
Actually, GP is correct. See Bandpass Sampling: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Undersampling.

"In signal processing, undersampling or bandpass sampling is a technique where one samples a bandpass-filtered signal at a sample rate below its Nyquist rate (twice the upper cutoff frequency), but is still able to reconstruct the signal.

When one undersamples a bandpass signal, the samples are indistinguishable from the samples of a low-frequency alias of the high-frequency signal. Such sampling is also known as bandpass sampling, harmonic sampling, IF sampling, and direct IF-to-digital conversion."

Please don't ignore the context. We are talking about Web browsers.

You don't, in reality, have the latitude to do "anything from a no-op to some quirks mode" of your choice. The requirement is absolutely the one stated: to be compatible with what other browsers are doing. If your browser doesn't satisfy that requirement, then you break the Web, regardless of whether the spec is a hundred words or a hundred million. No amount of pointing at a standard and arguing that it doesn't specify clearly defined behavior in some area will ever be enough to teach a site to be able to say, "Oh, I'll just unbreak myself then so you can go ahead and view/use this page on your computer."

Besides that, even if you were right—and to be clear, you aren't—that doesn't change the fact that, again, arguing for underspecification because "a couple defined values" isn't as much "actual code" that "still needs to be written" is an argument that approaches a problem that isn't I/O bound as if it is.
No I don’t agree that heritability of IQ is well established.

First of all I do not believe that IQ is a good metric for intelligence, nor that intelligence is a useful scientific construct.

Secondly, there are whole subthreads here that go into the nuances of what heritability means for measured IQ. From what I’ve gathered is that findings which assign 50-80% of the variance to inheritance neglect to account for covariance, or use very biased assumptions about G×E correlations or G×E interactions which skewes the results in favor of genetic explanations, i.e. they are biased.

If someone is trying to use a broken clock as a source, it's valuable to tell them it's broken.

The clock doesn't tell you if they're right or not. I agree here, see me agreeing! That's the part that would be a fallacy!

But knowing that the clock is broken means you know that any conclusions based on the clock contain zero information. They might be right, but only by accident. So you should completely reject the argument, without completely rejecting the result.

To make that even more explicit: An argument and the conclusion of that argument are different things. The bar for rejecting an argument is lower than the bar for rejecting its conclusion. And the bar for being extra skeptical is even lower.

The fallacy you're describing happens when you reject the conclusion. It does not happen when you reject the argument.

I know this is tangential but I was trying to decide what I wanted to use to make an app that could be accessed from android, ios, and desktop in a convenient way. I am not a fan of how churny the js world is, and I come from a background in Swing/Qt/GTK/etc desktop development.

I evaluated HTMX as a not-js way to do modern web apps. It was fine, it was certainly interesting. I had some concern about how much pain I would be in for when I inevitably wanted to borrow something from the js ecosystem, like a charting library or something.

I actually ended up deciding on godot with gdscript and while I'm not done yet, I'm having a pretty dang good time. I'm a little annoyed that I have to pay apple to get it on iOS, but I have to pay apple anyway because safari is such an annoying odd one out from how firefox and chrome's renderers work. It's always safari that has weird things it doesn't like, in my experience. And I have hope that either Epic Games or Europe will manage to force Apple to let people sideload apps.
