There is no one in power other than you when it comes to your education. Credentials, yes, but education no.

Go on Wikipedia, Khan Academy, MDN, etc and open ChatGPT right now.
That would be ideal.

I was hoping that Livecode (formerly known as "Runtime Revolution") would become that --- there's now an opensource fork --- maybe that will make it possible?

Conceptually this reminds me of how in the QBasic (DOS 5+) docs there was a section indicating "this is an intentionally hobbled product, and you should expect to graduate to QuickBasic for more professional stuff."

For educational purposes, being able to say "we've eliminated a bunch of tarpits" is a good thing.

On the other hand, I wouldn't discount the syntax differences as a real pain point, once you've walked past the 200-level CS class that shows "look, here's LISP and Prolog and Assembler and they're all Turing complete and can solve the same problem." We get it, the syntax doesn't matter, but familiarity does.

There's no doubt a lot of friction and productivity cost when you take a experienced programmer who's worked on language A and drop them in language B-- even if they know what they want algorithmically, they're going to spend a lot of time stubbing their toe over syntactic differences. In the worst case, I could see them making worse code because they choose the easiest/most documented approaches rather than having to figure out how to express exactly what they want.

It's interesting there's little tooling to support that use case. Given that (originally, who knows now?) C# and VB.NET were supposed to be more or less isomorphic, I could imagine an IDE extension that dynamically transpiled either language to the other for display and editing, and then converting the changes back to the "official" project language when ready to share the code. It could be used as anything from a training tool (flip back and forth to see how this construct maps between the languages) to a crutch (I don't know how to express XYZ in C#, transpile it for me)
If your courses are in the training set. You can also Google the solutions.

Wikipedia generally does not (if anything it would probably count against you as most people who bring that sort of thing up are lying about them anyways).

Sometimes people are unfairly reverted, but often people are reverted for good reason and have problems accepting that their edit simply was not a positive change to the page.
Yeah, I've also been using screen for years without ever feeling the need to switch to tmux. Although remote ssh work is relatively rare for me (eg a couple times per month)

The problem with this kind of pseud-scientific eso stuff is, that it relies purely on anecdotal evidence — anectdotal evidence by people who want to believe in it.

If we assume the Schuman resonance is a real magnetic phenomenon that can be observed, the questions that these people would need to answer are:

1. If this affects the brain, through what mechanism would that happen? Induction? How would a study look to test this?

2. If such a low frequency oscillation with such a low energy does affect the brain, why don't we go completely cookoo bananas in the presence of magnetic fields that are many magnitudes stronger?

3. What evidence would you need to disprove that this effect happens?

In practise one could "simply" do a randomized double blind study with a high enough number of people that have to do different tasks and you subject some to the magnetic fields and others not. If you are extra good you do it in a way that nobody (even the experimenters) knows whether the magnetic field is on for a given candidate or not.

And then you compare the results of those tasks.

But I think the problem is that they don't even wanna know, believing is enough.
I find the blog format a bit confusing. Is there a complete listing of the books somewhere?
That only gives information about the link between your computer and the wifi access point you're connected to.

This conversation is about what's happening upstream of that.
The hubris in thinking arguing semantics will fix organizational problems.

The real difference is made by the kind of people who interpret mistakes and respond to them. They need to have passion for the job, be perfectionists who search to improve their output and who take negative feedback as valuable information. That's partly nature, partly nurture, but by the time the people get a job it's way too late to fix anything, let alone by using one word instead of another.
What's with everyone feeling a need to shoehorn every possible issue into an either this or that frame? The world is not made of binary yes/no questions - it feels like it says something about the limitations of the person asking the question.
I love this concept! When I got tired of replacing headphones in the past I got some beyerdynamic dt770 modded by jfunk.org. They are repairable and durable. Though they are not natively bluetooth, can use a short cable + qudelix 5k to make them wireless. No noise cancelling.

Would be very nice to have durable / repairable noise cancelling headphones. These headphones from fairbuds look great overall, but I'm skeptical of the durability of the hinges.
Start using it for tasks and you'll find limitations very quickly. Even ChatGPT excels at some tasks and fails miserably at others.
> People can't recreate previous mental states, it's all plausible post-hoc rationalization. [...]

How could you possibly claim people are simply incapable of recreating mental states and that all they do is plausible post-hoc rationalization? Surely people can sometimes remember what they were thinking before making a decision? And in fact I would think people can do this more frequently than GPT can. Or are you really claiming those studies proved an implausible negative here?
Most people in 1969 would probably say the same about betting against humans on Mars well before the end of the 20th century.

Actually just added a long paragraph showing how even memories or real time sense data is pleasant fabrication. Also every time you remember something, you're not really recalling it. Your brain rewrites your memory every time you "remember" often introducing false data or inconsistencies. It's one of the reasons human memory is so fallible and inadmissible.

That said, I don't disagree with the overall point of what you've said. Attempted Introspection is useful. The point I'm making is to not dismiss LLM "introspection" simply because it's rationalization. It can be extremely useful too.

This reminds me of a gem I picked up in my pedagogical studies: the aim of effective learning is for the student to ask from the teacher to explain something they don't understand. That both guarantees relevance and is highly likely to leave a lasting impression.

However, in most classrooms it's the teacher doing the asking. "Why are you asking me if you already know the answer?" is a completely valid response. A teacher should try to avoid that and instead ask e.g. "what are you having trouble with?"

With regard to ChatGPT passing tests, IMO the root problem is the overemphasis on tests with these kinds of redundant questions (and constant grading) that have always had limited correlation with learning.
As someone who started out in this profession in their early 30s, it was made clear very quickly, both by observation and shared wisdom, that it was completely possible to go one's entire career never getting below the level of gluing business code together with the adhesive of some framework, i.e. never learning how to design a system or think from the 'bottom' of a solution.

While its arguably more accessible than ever, you can quickly find yourself swimming in a shallow pool if you're not careful where your first job is, unless you have the free time and comportment to swim towards the deeper end on your own. And the larger magnitude that this occurs at, the greater the stranglehold of most devs to some well-funded framework and tooling.

So I applaud reminders like this that ask to just take a step back from time-to-time and maybe provide ourselves a new opportunity before reaching for $BIG_FRAMEWORK when the project is a few views w/ some buttons and an input on them. There has to be some balance between the utter pragmatism and curiosity and exploration that builds skills to have a healthy demo of devs.

I routinely see this second-hand classist complaint about 'JavaScript devs ruining software' (particularly w/ Electron in hand, even though the most used Electron apps are probably worked on by high-tier devs) but really the source of that concern is the market desiring that devs be more or less replaceable for the most part and the skillsets follow that. You can't break that without some disruption to the Framework-Industrial Complex.
If you dig in more into the techlash, you also see a lot of... biased behavior on the NYT. Other newspapers also have this demonstrated behavior too, but the NYT is the most well researched.

It's not just FB article sentiment analysis, it's everything they've written. If you look at all sentiment & word usage of all articles you'll notice sudden shifts . The NYT also has a narrative department that explicitly crafts all articles towards a target narrative for example and rejects articles or phrases that doesn't go towards the current target narrative. And because people that work in these industries do not want to be informally blacklisted explaining this, in an industry where it's hard to get work, there isn't much in terms of good investigative journalism into the behavior of media itself, so it has to come from outsiders often. If you can get an NYT journalist drunk and talk about the right things, your eyes will start getting realllllllyyyy wide.

The NYT explicitly decided to generate the techlash as their current narrative, it wasn't an emergent behavior because of events in the world.

It's a multi-tenant platform (about 300 forums, with the biggest being around 250K visitors per month), the database is on a vertically scaled box that is too excessive now the traffic has reduced, but I was able to delete a few of the Linodes that were horizontally scaling the API and Web UI (the Web UI is just a client of the API hence those could be saved too).

I've also noticed that my cache hit rate is extraordinary now, which I assume is because humans read recent stuff and bots read the long-tail of old stuff.

Do ai tutors exist? Any recommendations?
Pure nonsense. Has it implemented:

* Single file scripting with dependencies

* No node_modules folder

* Typescript built in. You might dismiss it as easy, but it's only easy in the sense that it's not a lot of work if you've done it. It's still a massive faff and paper cut. Whatever the next thing up from a paper cut is. Toe stub?

* Guaranteed type hints.

* A good standard library
For the past 6 or 7 years I've had a side gig as an external examiner for CS students, and I've gotten GPT to pass most of the programming questions they ask the students in the programming exam. It's things like building a double linked list, sorting a binary tree and so on, and it's very good at it. On the flip side, I've yet to get it to do anything useful for me in my real job that isn't writing documentation. It's likely because it has a lot of data on how to pass CS courses, but not so much data on how to get entity Framework, Asp Versioning and Odata to work together. Probably because very few people have been crazy enough to attempt the latter.

I think it will be very interesting to see what the teachers, and institutions, do about it though. It's not like students couldn't find these things on the internet before GPT, but it's so much easier now. Over all I personally think that a nice shake-up of the way we educate people might turn out to be a good thing though. That is of course easy for me to say, as someone who doesn't actually have to do any of the shaking-up.
No, dXII.
Compared to GPT2 it’s on par. Compared to GPT3, 3.5, or 4, it’s a toy. GPT2 is 4 years old, and in terms of LLMs, that’s several life times ago. In 5-10 years, GPT3 will be viewed as a toy. Note, “progress” will unlikely be as fast as it has been going forward.
Our investigation revealed wide gaps between Worldcoin’s public messaging, which focused on protecting privacy, and what users experienced.

IMO the government is responsible for more than 25% of the vast majority of people's savings, so a 25% inheritance tax sounds fair. Maybe a few people really were innovative enough to have earned more than 75% without the government but that number is small enough to not matter.

Your comment suggesting that losing 68% after 100 years is similar to keeping 0% is very strange to me, those don't seem similar at all. And then the 68% doesn't even account for growth, which has always been greater than inflation in the past.

Generally the idea that people 100 years from now should be able to live off the labor their ancestors did 100+ years ago seems absurd to me. Those people did nothing to deserve that wealth.

Nice! Can you add an option to make the beep nonstop whenever the posture is poor? A single beep sound might not be strong enough for me to notice.
Same path for me, I like the v-moda headphones a lot, but the hinge mechanism is way too fragile, and the charge port broke, so the bluetooth pair was my last v-moda headphone. I also switched to beyerdynamic and have been very happy with them. Only downside of this durability is that they are not foldable - would be great to have headphones with a high durability folding mechanism
I'm not really sure how you arrive at the conclusion that only serverless platforms result in costs? It's not just 40% of cpu or egress, it's 40% of database load, 40% of logging, 40% of APM/instrumentation.

40% is 40%. Maybe 40% of their cost isn't enough to warrant whatever time these efforts cost them, but for many people out there it will be.
The problem with this is that students don’t know what they don’t know, so how are they supposed to ask the relevant questions?
That would be very surprising, given that any widely used cryptographic encryption algorithm has been EXTENSIVELY cryptanalyzed.

ML models are essentially trained to recognize patterns. Encryption algorithms are explicitly designed to resist that kind of analysis. LLMs are not magic.
I suggest acquainting yourself with quantum mechanics.

Author here. As you say, it's a highly-compressed version of history. Getting into the finer points of the evolution of open source wouldn't really have had any bearing on the rest of the article.
Of course it could, but it would fail at exams, because AI cannot write programs with pen and paper :3
I think this misunderstands the reason why people say LLMs are "just" statistical text predictors and misunderstands LLMs in general.

Here's where you're wrong:

> The real reason behind this bizarre answer is that it matches the form of a more elaborate puzzle where a similar indirect approach is necessary. GPT4 gets caught up in the tendency to match previous examples, and this is a genuine reflection of its cognitive history; it started out as a statistical text predictor. This is not the same as not understanding the question; this is a reflection of a faulty cognitive architecture that can be fixed relatively easily.

This is not anything that can be easily fixed. This type of faulty problem-solving is a fundamental property of how LLMs work. It can be attenuated or avoided, but not repaired or removed.

LLMs work by assembling language into plausibly-human-written sentences, and if you ask them to engage in problem-solving, they will often write their way to a correct solution, but examples like the 12L/6L jug question are revealing: The LLM doesn't actually reason. It imitates the appearance of reasoning, and does so extremely well, but that's not the same. It doesn't understand why you would pour one jug into another; it's been taught that pouring jugs into each other and arriving at the required number of litres are characteristics of the solutions of similar problems it's been trained on, and so it does all of these things. LLMs imitate human writing, and can, by proxy, reproduce human reason, but they have a tenuous and indirect grasp on it, and this drawback is built into their design.
Curious to hear why you feel that education has been broken throughout your life. I totally believe you, it's your own experience after all! Just feel that I was very lucky and had a good education at several great institutions with good mentors, so curious to hear what could have gone wrong.

Good question! We did consider that, but the structure of the directories themselves conveyed a ton of information, so ultimately we thought that it was better to keep it like this.

Deforestation is the only major relevant factor that led to the formation of any desert in Spain, and this started a "long" time ago, and is purely and simply controlled by humans. For example, the famous Tabernas desert is the result of deforestation, followed by intensive erosion.
I don't disagree with the trend you're point out, but it also has to be put in perspective:

1. That chart lists 25 industries, and "computer industry" still ranks #3 in terms of how positive people feel about it. It's ahead of almost everything. "Internet industry" is right in the middle of the pack. So tech is scoring somewhere between average and wayyy-better-than-average. Doesn't sound like much of a techlash.

2. Net positive sentiment has dropped in pretty much every sector. The most popular industry, the restaurant industry, saw a drop from 65% to 45% net positive. The second most popular industry, agriculture, saw a drop from 58% to 43%. In 2017 there were only 4 industries with net negative scores, but in 2022 there were 12, a 3x increase. So a big part of tech's apparent decline in popularity is really just a universal decline.
You can outsource the task, but you can't outsource the discussion afterwards. I recently had to hire: shortlisted a couple of candidates and gave them a simple task that shout take 1-2h to complete. I also gave them more than a week to complete it. They could have outsourced it,but they'd struggle to walk me through the whole thing, because you start poking around to see how deep you can ask and it becomes pretty clear pretty soon where their limits are and why they did x over y and etc.
If you look at the chart over time it looks like 'no party preference' is eating the republican side of the graph. It looks like the republican party is fracturing, which is great because we need more than two political parties. I wish the other side would break up too.
And if your employment contract -- like nearly every employment contract -- explicitly says "you will devote 40 hours a week to this role; and you will not take on outside obligations without giving written notice to the company" --

The real problem here is you are typing those "sensitive password or key" into termianl. Instead of type it directly, Use `read password` and `mysql -p$password` is the right way. Additionally, most programs can use environment variables directly, so you can even avoid showing them in the command line arguments.

If you entered something in terminal directly, I won't call it sensitive.
Checking snapshot diffs from git repo. I would love doing that in terminal instead of opening in external app.

Yes it can, I think that it is rarer form. I can't think of any but I'm sure they exist.
One question I have is: can they use cheaper kinds of RAM and still be perfectly usable for large ML models? They could put 4GB of GDDR and 128GB of cheap RAM maybe? I do realize as others are saying, this would be a new kind of card so they will need time to develop it. But would this work?
