> Something I learned relatively late in my career was that really impressive work is the result of iterations in tiny steps.

I think you are right. Really impressive work is generally the result of a longer journey than you realize. The time and effort put into it is probably underestimated. But my mind immediately tries to think of exceptions (which totally prove the rule). I'm curious if others would agree with this one: Sometimes there are just really great ideas.

Minecraft comes to mind. And I don't mean today's Minecraft. I mean the alpha and beta versions which were wildly popular and essentially just an engine and sandbox world with a tiny fraction of the features today's game has. People have recreated that core game many times with fairly trivial code, which is why I attribute this more to "great idea" than long iterative process that most people cant replicate. And a totally anecdotally and subjective reason (although I've heard others express it too). I found the game immediately nostalgic. It was new but it felt old - like it had existed in some form before but had just now taken shape. That to me seems like a great idea.

Ironically, I find myself questioning if I underestimated how long Notch took to create it. A cursory search says a week for the initial version, but this timeline shows more like 1 to 1.5 years from nothing to alpha: https://minecraft-timeline.github.io/ Even still, the fact that the core game can be recreated without too much effort does suggest that that it was more about being a good idea than being difficult to implement. I don't look at Minecraft and think "wow I could never do this." Instead I look at it and think, "Wow. That was a really great idea."

Although I suppose you could says that great ideas are an iterative process too. But at that point you have to decouple "really impressive stuff" from "I could never do this".

We had a small fire that had to be fought last year on the mountain that shadows the city by a teenager. I was hiking through the area affected recently and there were burn piles being created in the parts that didn't burn last year, so I guess that the arsonist at least created the impetus to prevent future burns closer to the city.

Rental prices in San Diego are almost as high as Fremont/San Jose (5th most expensive rental city in CA). Also, considering it has one of the highest electricity rates in the country, it makes renting even more expensive than just the monthly rate.
One resource I always wanted to have was how does one figure out the responsibilities for a new role that one is interviewing for and is advertised as mid level:

1. Writing, reading, reviewing software most of the time.

2. Some amount of planning on medium sized projects(2 engineers) you are handed over. You can thus iterate on new small(ish) features pretty easily.

Like assuming a team of ~5 engineers, how does one go about quizzing the interviewer about different aspects of the role based on prior experience?

In the US, that would be an exceedingly bad idea on the part of the Pinkertons. They don't have the same protections law enforcement has: they are treated legally the same as anybody else, which means that in 38 US states they'd be justifying the homeowners use of deadly force.
Even if I wasn't going to argue that OpenAI had at least something new enough to capture people's attention, I will tell you that when it comes to people's quotes, the ReplyGuy "true" meaning of it matters less than the way its received as a meme.

I really don't care what's in Peter Theil's heart, I care how he influences others and that influence has been malign.

"Competition is for losers" pretty much speaks for itself. You can write an essay about it and hope everyone that looks at Theil as a hero reads that essay or you can take it at face like people are doing.
I think the most frustrating aspect of California is the capricious interpretation of laws. There isn't a clear way to ensure compliance. Louis Rossmann did a pretty good job demonstrating a similar issue with New York and the LeadsOnline reporting requirements. Often the people responsible for enforcing the laws, don't even know what the laws are and will often err on the side of fining people.

> you should take it up with the head teacher.

I don't want to teach my son that him misunderstanding something is someone else's fault. Obviously, this wasn't taught in class. He was taught lots of things and was a conclusion he came to on his own. Like nobody ever told me that a McDonald's hamburger will cost around $50 when I retire, I simply did some math based on the average inflation. Will it actually? no idea. But I know that I should probably have that much more in my retirement account.
Yeah, we're all pretty concerned about that. We'll see if we get another heavy monsoon season to dampen the potential for big fires midsummer. Fingers crossed.

Unfortunately, we've got a bunch of events coming up that are going to draw big numbers of off-roaders and 'overlanders' who are, imo, some of the worst and least responsible recreators. Some of us are bracing for fires being started by them.

A lot of the value is tied up in the land, because they aren’t really making any more of it, and location is everything.

First point: the groff file in my gist is designed for plain-text files, so not all the functionality will exactly translate to PDF rendering.

Second point: to resolve the issue you're running into, remove these lines from the groff file to allow the default margins for PDF rendering to occur.

\# Set the line lenth to \nl
.ll \nl

There can occasionally be some strange behavior with the macros when different output devices are used (some options are ignored, some may have unexpected consequences). I took a look at the PDF output using my file directly, and it looks like the em sizing for gropdf is different from the grotty implementation, causing some overflow. (Maybe the font needs to be set explicitly before setting the line-length? Not sure).

Using a different unit of measurement (like inches or points) may be a better option for PDF files: https://www.gnu.org/software/groff/manual/html_node/Measurem...

Bonus note: you can confirm the final output device that will be used by a groff command by adding the -V option. Example:

groff -Tpdf -V examaple.groff

Outputs:

troff -Tpdf example.groff | gropdf

Using -Tascii instead will produce:

troff -Tascii example.groff | grotty

Handling/touching/processing MIDI events with JavaScript in Max will mess up the timing due to how Max handles scheduling — it will defer the event to a lower priority thread — so I don't recommend doing that. You can safely use JS for GUI code and using Ableton's API to manipulate the session and UI, though.
That's pretty much the case. We keep building layers and abstracting away.

Being a prompt wizard won't pay as well as directly writing code for the AI systems. They're different layers. There won't be more people directly developing software than there are today in the US market, there may be more overall jobs in and around the process however (ie the tech industry will continue to expand to more people in terms of employment; benefits will weaken, median pay will fall).

Most software developers will be prompt wizards, with required degrees that say they know how to be effective prompt wizards. Then there will be a lot of supporting roles, oversight roles.

More jobs in the industry, lower skill levels, less pay.

Antilibrary – simple AI-based personal librarian
A little tool that lets you ask questions from your pdfs, epubs, text files and word documents. Think Chatpdf.com or Box AI, but a personal librarian.

"The writer Umberto Eco belongs to that small class of scholars who are encyclopedic, insightful, and nondull. He is the owner of a large personal library (containing thirty thousand books), and separates visitors into two categories: those who react with “Wow! Signore professore dottore Eco, what a library you have. How many of these books have you read?” and the others—a very small minority—who get the point is that a private library is not an ego-boosting appendages but a research tool. The library should contain as much of what you do not know as your financial means … allow you to put there. You will accumulate more knowledge and more books as you grow older, and the growing number of unread books on the shelves will look at you menacingly. Indeed, the more you know, the larger the rows of unread books. Let us call this collection of unread books an antilibrary." - Taleb
>10-15 years out AI will be good enough to wipe out at least half of all software developers on the planet (that is, people writing actual code). That's not a risky prediction, that's very easily going to be the case.

How is this not a risky prediction?

1. Are you talking about AI (i.e. AGI) or LLMs? If you think we will have AGI in 10 - 15 years maybe you are right, but AGI is always just around the corner.

2. LLMs don't seem to be the magic multiplying force people are insinuating. GPT-3 has been around for almost 3 years, and while great (I was an early adopter) it's just another tool for me.

Over the past 10 - 15 years software has gotten easier to develop. And make software easier to develop has just gone to serving greater and greater demand. The invention of C didn't reduce the number of engineers because it was simpler than ASM. The invention of Python didn't reduce the number of Java engineers. Every year CPUs get faster and faster (at an exponential rate almost), and yet software somehow manages to get slower and slower. No other tool in the short history of software development ever did anything close to "wipe out at least half of all software developers" despite newer tools because easier and easier.

"Divisions of the Midwest by the U.S. Census Bureau into East North Central and West North Central, separated largely by the Mississippi River."

“Census Bureau Divisions with "Central" in their name include the West North Central and East North Central in the Midwest. Along with the West South Central and East South Central in the South.”

Midwest may be more usual but North Central is not unheard of. (That said, one can perfectly understand “western Midwestern US States” as the western part of the region called Midwest and be fine with it.)

This gets into part of philosophy and linguistics that I wish I took more of in college.

Consider the question "does language enable higher thought?" Was Koko able to think things that other gorillas were not able to? Or how about Bunny the dog ( https://www.youtube.com/@whataboutbunny ) or Billie the cat ( https://www.youtube.com/@BilliSpeaks )?

This is an "I believe" and acknowledge that I don't have the proper argument to back it up...

I believe that language and thought as we know it are intertwined. It is possible to communicate without language but thinking (and that's a poorly defined word) requires a language to think in. Something that is able to use language well is able to think - and that gets to a LLM can thing (it just it does it in a way that is foreign to the expectations of a human mind).

http://klingon.wiki/En/CapableOfLanguage

> Beings capable of language (only one time referred to as "capable of speech" in TKD on p. 25) are those beings which are able to speak a language(1). Examples are Klingons, Humans, Romulans, etc. This does also include babies, because even if they do not speak, they are capable of using language(2). This distinction is important in the use of possessive suffixes, plural suffixes and the choice of pronouns.

Going to guess you're both young and working at a tech company as opposed to a big company that also does some tech things.

Prior to the rise of Agile and the decrease in waterfall-style development the role of Business Analyst was very popular. It still is at many companies that do need to do waterfall development, but less so these days. The Business Analyst (BA) role is semi-technical and requires some subject matter expertise, but generally doesn't do much actual writing of code. Instead it's focused on requirements gathering, wireframe creation, test case creation & running, bug logging, and status reporting. I know you're probably saying "that's at least half of my job!" and you're right, but now go and look at the difference in pay between a BA and a developer. It turns out that if you remove the "actually writes code" part of the job, it's not worth nearly as much and I think that's what the comment above is trying to express.
Staff engineers that report to directors or whatever the equivalent 2nd or third mgmt level is are most effective in my experience.

An important part of the job is to “borrow” your boss’s authority and for that to work they need to have some. I’ve seen staff engineers be ineffective because of their boss’s position many times.

Reporting to someone higher than director you start getting too disconnected from on the ground stuff (architecture astronaut syndrome) and lower the ground is all you can see.

I am not convinced that this is not a method of modelling knowledge.

I’m not sure why this is meaningful, aside from the misleading metaphor of a named LLM as an individual; named LLMs are more analogous to genetic templates that code for some instinctive capabilities; if you want an analog to an individual, a single session (for a chat-oriented LLM-centered system) is the most appropriate unit of analysis.

> Except it is now cheaper to rent than to own

I've noticed that over the long haul (in my area, anyway), it's neither cheaper nor more expensive to rent vs own. In the short term, one can be more expensive than the other, though.

But the big difference is that you're building equity if you're buying, and you're not if you're renting. So which is better, financially speaking, depends a lot on what you're trying to accomplish.
