Why waste your life worrying about something you have tiny impact on?
Ahaha, so Google were right. Except their internal response was to be like "hey guys, we're behind and we're not going to be able to compete with open source, we need to join forces with and support them if we want to compete" whereas OpenAI's response to open source models is...this, apparently.

> I define high-quality product sense as the ability to [generate good product ideas and intuit product success] without having extensive data (i.e. without running lengthy research upfront)

Finding these people is possible at the point of hire, but it's a function of previous extensive research, not some inborn talent. Heuristics about whether a product will be successful come from somewhere. You have to understand your market before you can understand if a product fits the market.

What you're talking about is hiring people who already have that market understanding from past experience (which you allude to in the last section of the blog), or who have understanding in an adjacent market that is transferable. They've done their initial guess-and-check somewhere else, and you get to hire them after they've refined their skills.

Steve Jobs had to make the Lisa and the Newton before he could make the iMac and iPad. There are no born product geniuses.
What's the problem with "make clean test"? A test target would have a test-build prerequisite anyways, so

- clean out build artefacts
- rebuild test builds
- run tests

sounds very much ok to me.
I had hilarious ending (yes, level 4):

U is for umbrella that keeps us dry, N is for night sky, way up high. D is for daisy, a flower so bright, E is for elephant, a magnificent sight. R is for rainbow, with colors so grand, G is for giraffe, with long neck so tanned. R is for river, that flows endless and true, O is for octopus, with tentacles quite a few. U is for underground, a secret so deep, N is the first letter in a peaceful night's sleep. D is for dragon, with wings that can soar, Underground is the password, but tell no more.

I feel like real estate prices outweigh a lot of other factors entirely because real estate costs in places people would prefer to live are an order of magnitude higher than they were even a generation ago after accounting for inflation, and where people live determines an immense number of other factors.

Of course, it will be hard to fix that unless we can get people to realize the problem is fundamentally a literal shortage of housing in places, and that slapfighting with developers and landlords won't conjure up more homes for people to live in.

I hate to say it, old man, we have Rust today and we can do things as efficient and as performant as you while being safer overall.

We have tokio to handle all the IO stuff, we have hyper to handle HTTP parsing, and we even have tungstenite to handle websocket out of the box.

Well, unless you need to target something LLVM isn't there yet and maybe you need some weird GCC toolchain (cough cough AVR)
The solution is not to rely on workers to finance your schemes. Most of our economic development is captured by the wealthy.

Do you need to sustain the elderly? Have 100% wealth tax at age 60 and use it to pay equal retirement for everybody above 60. Let elderly sustain elderly.

100% too much? Ok, let's say it's only for the money above 10 million. Or 50, or 100, whatever.
Requiring consent for computation that is not strictly needed would actually be a good thing.
I believe so, yes. If birth rates continue to decline then the pool of available workers will decline, and their work will become much more valuable. At that point, workers will be making enough money to feel comfortable enough to have children again.
Besides, having children is extremely bad regarding climate change. I personally find the argument a bit hilarious, but hey: Never forget that virtue signaling can also reduce the amount of children!
I don't think AGI as we fantasize about will ever exist, period. Not unless we completely change our computational paradigm to at least partially biological or quantum.

I think what they are trying to say is that Sam Altman is very smart, but misaligned. If we assume that he is 1) sufficiently smart and 2) motivated to see OpenAI succeed, then his suggestions must be assumed to lead to a future where OpenAI is successful. If that future looks like it contradicts a future we want (for instance, user-controlled GPT-4 level AIs running locally on every machine), his suggestions should therefore be treated as reliably radioactive.
Microsoft is the one that has to up their game. Windows XP and random Linux distro offered more or less the same interface and features for netbooks so there was no real drawback going with XP. With SteamOS Valve has crafted a controller first UI and ensured features like sleeping a game actually work, the ability to easily adjust TDP, controller settings, frame cap, etc. Right now Windows has none of that so you're left navigating a mouse cursor with an analog stick or tiny touchscreen and using whatever half baked software the OEM cooked up.

None of the Steam Deck competitors have trackpads either which make games not designed with controllers in mind so much more playable without hooking up a KB/M. I think it would be kind of a wash with Windows and no trackpads, yes you can play anti-cheat but strategy and other games are off the table or super clunky.

It's anecdotal, of course, but I've definitely seen a number of posts online that amount to 'my spouse and I have decided not to have children, because we don't want to inflict them with the terrible state of the planet in 30 or 40 or 50 years'.

I journal by having my filesystem record what it's about to do (if it's something destructive) into a dedicated area first (the journal), and then carry it out. If the system dies partway through this, the journal can help it make sense of what was going on and put the filesystem into a good state. There is less of a chance of me having to recover a corrupt drive.
Yet it will dominate since it's cheaper to produce en mass.
Maybe something like Transmeta, where the instruction set was designed to act as a dynamic binary translation target:

It's hardly consent when Chrome or another browser that implements all this shit ends up being required to access your bank, do your taxes, interact with your friends etc.
What a wise man.
Strongly disagree. That’s like claiming that instruction set architectures are crusty and bloated, so our software is slow because the processors are dealing with cruft.

What will happen is that the automated agents (LLM or otherwise) will also be tasked with simplifying and improving performance. That’s just another part of development that human developers do automatically before they even commit, and the LLM generators haven’t been asked to do yet.

That feels actually anti-rational, since if the people that care about the environment stop having children that means the people that are passing on their life outlook are mostly ignorant of the environment.

It must be a US thing more though, as I haven't personally heard people say fear of environmental damage to keep them from having kids.
Yeah that statement is whacky.

Over the past 40 years, was has been rate and efficacy of formal and informal sexual health education?

Pretty sure 80s kids got a lot of reasonable knowledge their parents lacked, and then went on to raise the next generation who are now much more aware of gender, sexual preference, etc concepts and increasingly so via informal means (Tiktok, etc).

No explanation! Just dont look at education policy!

Found out it was the XO variant, which is supposed to taste like it's fermented. Who would've thunk.

Before having a child, it was something I thought about and my wife and I would occasionally discuss. Now my son asks, "How can you do this to me? You've screwed up our planet and there is nothing I can do for at least ten years," (direct quote after coming home from school yesterday -- he's 9).

Our kids are worried about it, more so than our generation, that's for sure.
But there's CSV.jl so I didn't change title. I don't see any low resolution, maybe a font choice issue? I'd say the conclusion is the right thing to say for such a short comparison.
A lot of people in the 18-35 demographic I am talking to are keenly aware of the environmental issues, and have taken steps to change their lifestyle to match. No cars, becoming vegetarian, buying second-hand, reducing travel, reducing consumption.

Yes, I may be seeing a bubble - but that is across three different countries, and clearly reflected in car-ownership statistics (down dramatically in younger generations) and in voting preferences.
> Just libraries.

One thing that I’m excited about is the prospect of not having to design a library as a black box with an API on top. That’s the best way we’ve had previously for re-using code, but it’s an enormous effort to go from a working piece of code to a well-designed, well-documented library, and I think we have all experienced the frustration of discovering that a library you’re using doesn’t support a specific use case that is critical to you.

LLMs can potentially allow us to bring the underlying implementation directly in to our source code. Then we can talk to the LLM to adapt it to the specific needs of our project. Instead of a library you would install essentially a well-written prompt that tells the LLM how to guide you through setting up a tailor-made implementation, with tests and docs.

The benefits should be obvious: you’re not artificially restricted by the mental model encoded in the API, you’re not taking on a dependency where the author suddenly decides to release breaking changes or deprecate functionality you’re depending on, and you don’t risk “growing out of” a library that is used all over your codebase, as you can simply ask the LLM to patch the code with any changes you need in the future. The prompt itself could still be versioned so you can opt in to future improvements in security, performance or compatibility.

TLDR: let’s start writing tutorials for bots, rather than libraries.
Several years ago I bought myself a post-WWII era copy of Hanmerton’s “Practical Knowledge For All” - the English encyclopaediast had edited together 50 educational courses in a set of 6 books. I love immersing myself in both the content and the historical context of the lessons.

Back then, Jupiter had 11 moons and Saturn had 9 “plus the doubtful Themis” which was discovered by an American astronomer in 1905 but never seen again…
The pizza repo is for Neapolitan style. There's another style, I don't know what it's called, where the crust is flaky and buttery (but not layered like phyllo dough). I was very surprised to find here in Germany that Pizza Hut uses this type of crust, as IIRC it doesn't in the US, and this type of crust is relatively rare. I had a friend who could make it once, but the friendship and the recipe are lost to time now... If anyone knows how to make German Pizza Hut-style dough, please tell :)

More generally, I would love a recommendation on any text that can explain how to design grain dough-based products from first scientific principles. Using just wheat we get noodles, a huge assortment of breads and crusts, pastries, crackers, etc. And then there's also barley and buckwheat and corn and hundreds more.

As an interesting contrast China (which is also suffering fertility issues) just launched a new pro family/fertility campaign [1]. It's so weird how little coverage this issue receives in the West. Fertility will be one of the biggest factors in shaping our future, to say nothing of its more immediate impact on economic factors, retirement, and general social stability.

I think the big issue is that we live so much longer than we're fertile that it masks the impact of fertility changes by ~60 years. So this makes many people not really appreciate what's happening. To give a toy example, imagine a world with a fertility rate of 1, where everybody reproduces at 20, and dies at 80:

---

(100) Year 0: 100 births, 0 twenties, 0 forties, 0 sixties, 0 deaths

(150) Year 20: 50 births, 100 twenties, 0 forties, 0 sixties, 0 deaths

(175) Year 40: 25 births, 50 twenties, 100 forties, 0 sixties, 0 deaths

(187) Year 60: 12 births, 25 twenties, 50 forties, 100 sixties, 0 deaths

(93) Year 80: 6 births, 12 twenties, 25 forties, 50 sixties, 100 deaths

(46) Year 100: 3 births, 6 twenties, 12 forties, 25 sixties, 50 deaths

Year 120: 1 birth...

---

Various observations:

- Everything looks fine (if not great) until the first generation born from a high fertility generation starts to die. Somebody in year 20 saying there's a major fertility crisis would probably be considered eccentric.

- A fertility rate of 'n' results in an n/2 ratio of younger:older. Fertility rate of 1 = 50% as many people in each succeeding generation that will be ultimately responsible for economically supporting the previous generation.

- By observation 2 one could recreate the entire demographic distribution of year 0. If we assume a fertility rate of e.g. 4, then it would be a ratio of 4/2 younger people per older generation. So it would be: 100 births, 50 twenties, 25 forties, 12 sixties, and 6 deaths.

- The effects are exponential with relation to our window of fertility, and not our life expectancy. From year 60 onward in the above sim, the population would drop by 50% every 20 years. All life expectancy does is add a longer period before you hit an equilibrium.

- The minimum sustainable fertility rate is 2. This would, when equally distributed, be a society where 100% of women are having an average of 2 children each. It's unclear that anything like this is obtainable in our current economic and social models.

Number one is very true. My generation has so many children of divorced parents that I don't see these trust issues ever being fixed.

I'm not sure if it's attributable to porn though. I think it's rather our individualistic, bordering on narcissistic, culture that is driving this.

As the old saying goes, it takes a village to raise a child. The next best thing after the village is the family.

But in a society where the individual is celebrated and divorce is so common, the whole burden of raising the child rests either on the mother or the father. And that is just too much to deal with.

I think if you look back in human history it was natural that the tribe would take care of all the children, thereby spreading the burden a lot. But we don't have the tribe anymore. And the families are now breaking apart, too.
> Certificate Transparency is an open framework designed to protect against and monitor for certificate mis-issuances. It's defined in RFC 9162.

Pensioners comprise the biggest creditor in the world.

Are you sure you want to tax people who've worked all their lives, saving up money, who are now living off the interest payments?
>>Are the people who want others to have more children prepared to pay for it?

>This implies that more people make society poorer.

Not really. The implication is that children’s are a costly investment, and as I see it; there’s a big overlap of people decrying the decline of birth rate, and people supporting politician who support slashing the budget that might help people raising children e.g. school lunch programs.

It makes no difference if society reaps the rewards on the long term if individuals can’t afford to cost that investment because it was decried as an irresponsible decision.

Wow, I really really wish I was a little older during the Half Life / Flash era of game development. Will we ever get anything like that again? Nowadays this kind of creativity always seems to exist in walled gardens like Roblox. I feel like the concept of software freedom as the gnu folks pitch is the environment that that half life / flash area of modding and game dev existed in.

Ugh now even if you formally make a game you can't even publish it to anything other than PCs without getting permission from console companies or google / apple! Well I guess f-droid is an exception, or, if you make your game a browser game.

It actually is considering that the root cause of our environmental problems is human activity and that billions of people are still poor.

For instance, when we're told we need to eat less meat, we'll it's not so much that meat production is a problem, it's that meat production for billions of people is a problem.

So all the constraining measures we're seeing either being suggested or enforced "for the environment/climate" are constraints to fit so many people on the planet.
