Related advice for when there’s too many errors to read: remember that the original use of triage (in hospitals) was to quickly categorize cases so you could prioritize ones to work on first. It still rapidly terminates, and almost immediately results in individual doctors or teams of doctors working on individual cases. Your triage system will aggregate errors to determine what’s important, sure, but it should quickly tell you what to work on, and (most crucially) those tasks it returns should be disaggregated individual errors to work on.

The advantage of software engineering over medical treatment is that for the SRE, solving one case also solves all cases of that type, whereas the doctor has to administer the same treatment to each individual case. But don’t let that scaling trick you into tolerating a triage system that results in tasks like “re-architect this service”.
Counting and grouping them is the opposite of what the article is arguing for. The whole point of the article is that you shouldn't be doing any aggregation and should be investigating each one individually.
of course, it actually depends on how they define "up."

LAGrad: Statically Optimized Differentiable Programming in MLIR [pdf]
While I agree that a lot of office space is under-utilised and unnecessary, vertical housing is an enormous boon for urban planning - it's vastly more efficient than urban sprawl (e.g. it's cheaper for local government to provide services), and arguably better for the environment (e.g. making good public transport practical).
For many people, it's a better living experience too - I used to live in a bungalow in the suburbs, but once I'd experienced living in a good apartment in the middle of my home city, I decided I'd never go back. Not everyone feels that way, I understand, but if we're want to preserve our valuable land for farming and nature, we need to densify.
This would be such a great use case for an LLM.

I‘ve tried a lot of chat-with-pdf apps, including ChatDOC, ChatPDF, Humata and others. For serious paper reading, I must say that ChatDOC(https://chatdoc.com/) is the best option.

The accuracy of ChatDOC’s understanding of tables, data, and texts is significantly higher than other products. Also you can upload a folder of files and chat with the collection, easily navigating through each one.

For example: https://chatdoc.com/chatdoc/#/share/ub8Z7aarcXJHY_SzGwl3LFVw...

I uploaded a paper about GPT and asked ChatDOC to summarize the main content, explain the experimental data, and find relevant data. It completed all these tasks very well. Amazing.

The article admits that it might not be feasible at Google scale, and that it makes sense to aggregate errors at that point. But surely that works better the fewer uninvestigated classes of errors there are, no?
FASD Tool Getting Deprecated

I've had ~10 jobs in my career so far. 1 was via my network; the others were all just me searching.

But that said, networking makes it far easier. I've seen people be brought in even when an interview panel was meh, because they had worked with the hiring manager before (and to be fair they were fine, just bad at interviewing), as well as people bypass parts of the process due to their knowing people. And, certainly, people getting landing interview loops (and getting put in the front of the queue) all because of a referral/networking.

Basically, yes. Or at least it's related. The game is based on (arguably, a misinterpretation of) the writings of Elizer Yudkowski.
It's not swindling to be paid for by ads. Broadcast radio and TV have worked that way for half a century.

Creators and hosts are paying for the resources to serve to the public. They can block the blockers if they wish.

Making things only paywall-ed or entirely free will just lead to more 'native' ads disguised as content and less content available to the unbanked and less affluent.

My partner and I recently launched something similar we are calling JiggyBase:

If you're small then I agree.

If you've got 100,000 concurrent users then this isn't going to work.

1,000,000 actions per minute means that all of the actions need a 99.9999% success rate to generate 1 error per minute.

Lots of 9's of reliability is hard.

Also. At that kind of scale you start observing lots of non-deterministic errors such as rare race conditions. As you drill into these rare race conditions you realise that they're affecting 0.001% of customers and you'd have to re-architect your system to eliminate them. You hit a point where it's not worth fixing those errors, so you build an error aggregating system to help ignore them.

Nice effort, and its something. But something may not be good enough to solve hard problems.

Can simulated hospital simulate efforts by staff to quickly add into many charts a medication Rx - by taking one patient note and copying 1 note, then pasting that into several?

Does it simulate staff forgetting the dosage was not edited after pasting into all those charts ?

Or staff not logging out of their userID, to avoid the need to log in every time someone needs to add a note/document into a chart? So that , in fact, the doc added by Dr Smith, was actually done by his assistant Tully?

Life is complicated. People use systems in wild and unexpected ways.

Real solutions require real data.
Huge red flag
Is the patient data coherent? Like if you have a history some illness may have high prob to occur given certain history.
Even Microsoft Word would catch that.
That is very useful. It seems to only work on sites you have visited since installing. It would be nice if it could index your current history at installation time, even though it wont have access to the contents of those pages (probably).

But the whole point of the anthropic argument for anything (oxygen, goldilocks earth, fine tuning) is that it doesn't matter how slim the odds are. We cannot observe a universe where the lucky thing doesn't happen because we can't exist in such universe.
That sounds like a reference to the concept of cosine similarity.

Imagine that words are spread out in the space.
Cosine similarity is a measure of similarity between two vectors (each word is encoded as a vector).

By measuring the cosine of the angle between the two vectors we can get:

1) whether 2 vectors have the same angle (2 words have the same meaning or close enough) when the cosine is close to 1

2) whether 2 vectors are perpendicular (2 words don't have anything to do with each other) when the cosine is close to zero

3) whether 2 vectors are opposite in direction (2 words have opposite meanings in some aspect) when the cosine is close to -1

Cosine similarity is like comparing two people's interests.
If two people have similar interests, the angle between them is small, and the cosine similarity value will be high.
If two people have completely different interests, the angle between them is large, and the cosine similarity value will be low.
So, cosine similarity is a way to measure how similar two things are by looking at the angle between them.

Has ChatGPT Been Neutered?
I've found it increasingly hard to get useful information out of ChatGPT. Whenever I ask for rough approximations, it refuses to even attempt to answer the question: "unfortunately, I don't have the capacity to provide even a rough approximation..." These are questions that Google is easily be able to pull up numbers for.

I assume that this is in response to the public complaining about "hallucinating facts", but this seems like an unfortunate direction. I would much rather have an opinionated and insightful ChatGPT that sometimes makes mistakes than one that punts 80% of my questions.
The consensus and official line amongst epidemiologists (and the health organizations and media that relayed this official line to the public) was that COVID was only transmitted by droplet transmission i.e. droplets that fall to the ground within several feet (hence the 6 feet / 2 meters social distancing rule) and don't float around in the air. This was despite obvious evidence of outbreaks that could have only occurred via ventilation systems or the virus floating around in the air in an elevator.

Here's an article going over the issue and what convinced them to change their mind: https://www.wired.com/story/the-teeny-tiny-scientific-screwu...

It turned out they were wrong not just about COVID, but a whole host of other diseases, based on erroneous criteria about what sized droplets could float in the air. Ironically, doctors from centuries ago with their theories of "miasma" / bad air would have been closer to the truth.

I was about to write that some kinds of advice are very good in some scenarios and very bad in others. The arguments always seem to skirt that middle ground where good advice goes bad (or vice versa)

10MM requests per year is 20 requests/minute. Most people will probably be working on services at this scale, or less. So the advice is good, but not global, and the qualification is important.
I've lived across the Hudson river on the New Jersey side for several decades, overlooking the skyline.

We should never let the facts get in the way of a good rant. Especially if it provides an opportunity to use the phrase "information superhighway."
You've misinterpreted the case that you posted.

According to the zimmerman trial, if you look into it at all, Zimmerman claimed that he was being attacked, got knocked over on the ground, and then while the attacker was on top of him, yelling that he was going to kill him, he defended himself with a gun, at that point.

And there was some physical evidence and injuries supporting this narrative.

You can say that his statement is a lie, or that you don't believe his testimony.

But, if that testimony is true, Shooting someone who is on top of you, assaulting you, yelling that you are going to die, while you are on the ground, is a much different situation than shooting someone who just knocked on your door.

I would really recommend you look up that case more, if you thought it was in any way similar to "just shooting someone, at your door".

> Europe does not have skyscrapers so it is possible.

I'll steelman your argument to be "Europe has less skyscrapers than NYC" (which I think is true, IIRC).

If you need to get away with less super tall buildings, you need to spread out the density elsewhere; that is, have medium density everywhere. In US and Canada, we've decided that the suburbs are untouchable, so the only solution is to have super tall buildings in a few areas. That's how you get 30 story apartments literally next to 2 story houses [0]. This is an intentional choice. I think it's the wrong one, but overcoming it is going to take a lot of convincing.

1-2 millimetres a year, or three quarters of an inch per decade, or two thirds of a foot per century. Not spread evenly among the entire city, some areas sink faster than others. The article seems concerned by how this might impact flooding due to rising seas from climate change; New York has been building a lot of sea walls recently and most seem to be aimed at handling 1-4 feet of sea level increase over the next 50 years. This research indicates a few inches of that capacity is going to be consumed by sinking land.

I feel kind of betrayed because my elementary school teachers, just a couple of years after that, did a lesson in class about the search for the Titanic, including having us look for a toy ship at the bottom of an aquarium (following some kind of search protocol and using some kind of tool that represented some of the search technology).

This lesson was all presented as "this is a cool heroic thing to help us understand history better" and not as something like "we are pretending to do historical research in order to disguise secret Cold War intrigue and misdirect adversaries about weapons systems"; I assume my teachers also believed the story they were presenting. It emphasized the great passion of the searchers to find the Titanic and their great ingenuity in their search methods, and presumably their huge satisfaction at accomplishing their goal. Some of which was probably also true, but all of which was apparently largely a decoy or a distraction from something else.

Note that Statcounter’s data is based on trackers that are blocked by extremely common configurations. This will lead to undercounting of desktop browsers in general (since ad/content blockers are comparatively unavailable on mobile platforms), and Firefox especially.

> Especially when 86.93% of the global web audience uses a browser that supports it [1].

Another point on Statcounter’s methodology (which is what caniuse.com also uses): they don’t track versions for most browsers on Android, instead acting as though everyone’s on the latest version, which is grossly unrealistic.

All up, my vague feeling is that the true figure is probably closer to 80% than to 86.93%. Even if Firefox weren’t a factor, I’d recommend most people avoid depending on :has() for another six months or so. Add Firefox into the consideration, and I’d recommend that most people wait for about a year after it ships in Firefox before depending on :has().

(When I say depending on :has(), I mean “the page will be materially broken if it’s not supported”. Use it completely optionally or with only unimportant style regressions—which can even be as significant as the “you get the same single-column layout as mobile devices even on very large screens” approach was for responsive designs when Grid was newer—and that’s fine.)
Its magnitude is roughly about one quarter of the low end predictions for sea level rise, yeah. Not much, but worth factoring in.
Probably because there are a lot less of them after this.

I'm not the OP or the parent post's author; however, pre-covid I'd give the usual answer of just join meetups, attend in person, follow the gang to the neighborhood bar or coffee or wherever they go, make friends, birds of a feather, etc. Post-covid, that scene seems non-existent to me. Being an introvert, it was certainly not a game I understood intuitively, outside of the fact that the groups were so small in my city as to be harmless to someone like me with the social skills of a loner. FWIW though, every single gig I've had for twenty years was among friends-of-friends with a common thread, typically art, music, science (OS, PL, DB), or culture (motos, bikes, skateboards).
