This is such an interesting direction for LLM research (especially because it's easy to imagine applicability in industry as well).

If all it takes is ~1k high-quality examples (of course, quality can be tricky to define) to tune an LLM successfully, then we should expect to see these tuned LLMs for many different narrow use cases.

Of course, devil is likely in the details. Even in this paper, the prompts on which the model is evaluated were written by the authors and "inspired by their own interests or those of their friends." Can be tricky to make a jump from these prompts and answers to real world LLM use cases, but super super promising.
A while ago I was looking for this and found “Heart Reports”. Despite the name, it can make graphs from several sources that it pulls from HealthKit.

I think the author of this blog would have told you to go to bed 5 hours ago and look with fresh eyes in the morning. You’d probably spot the bug instantly.
Will it still all call send_msg and friends? Like can I still call into Foundation via C FFI or Objective C?
Not a popular opinion.

Current Apple and Swift felt somewhat like Apple and Dylan in the 90s.

May be time could tell. A lot of people hate Objective-C, and was cheering for Swift in 2014. Now nearly a decade later, it seems time and resources could have been spent somewhere else.
Copy-pasted exact query you shared. It still provided information that I thought was correct, but after further inspection just sounded correct. It's GPT-4 without plugins.

> What are top 3 Spirit Island cards and provide their descriptions? Only provide information you are certain about. If you don't know the answer, say "i don't know".

2. "Vigor of the Breaking Dawn" (Major Power Card): This card costs 6 energy and is a slow power card. It allows you to push all explorers and towns from one of your lands. If you have 2 sun and 2 fire elements, you can instead replace each town with an explorer before the push. If you have 3 sun and 2 fire, you may also do 2 damage in each land where you push one or more pieces.

It doesn't cost 6, it costs 3. And it's not slow, it's fast. Incorrect required resources. You can deal 2 damage, but for pushed Dahanies, not for pushed explorers. As I said, all sounds convincing, but wrong. More common queries are usually fairly good.
To clarify, yes I own the shares outright.

I believe non-transferability clauses are common these days, ever since some shenanigans with employees selling shares ahead of the AirBnB IPO.

But does it hold up in court? It seems bizarre that I can "own" something and yet have no rights that people typically associate with owning something.
>Different photons traverse it

Yeah, but "it" is the same sky. The presence or absence of particles does not alter the sky itself. More accurately, space is independent of it's contents. Mind you, this is only a metaphor. Consciousness is not physical space. Just like physical space is the "space" of physical objects; Consciousness is the "space" of perception.

You share almost nothing in common with who you were when you were 5 years old. Even if all the cells in your body have been replaced, and all your thoughts and your way of thinking itself has changed, you are still the same person. It's the same consciousness. That continuity is you. You are that consciousness. Do you see it?
There's not even anything technically interesting about the language. Reference counting? Really? We have so much more than that and you just went with reference counting. Ugh
Vietnamese is a tone language, and it is written in a Latin script (with a number of accent marks). If it can be done with Vietnamese, it can be done with Chinese. For that matter, lots of tone languages are written in Latin scripts.

The problem with Chinese is not that it is a tone language (not absolute pitch, but relative pitch); the problem is that there are many regional dialects with different tone systems, and other pronunciation differences as well. Not that that's a real problem; English has lots of dialects with very different pronunciation systems, and it's written in a dialect-agnostic way.
I've been really fortunate to have spent most of my career in places with good culture and people (and yes, usually small, but not always). Politics and other corporate bs is hard for people that care because they're just run over by those that don't (which tends to be the default).

It's really easy for companies to just look at programmers as people working on a car assembly line (no disrespect meant). I.e. you just sit at your station and put the wheels on as the next car body comes by. Skill and passion are not in sync with that reality. The number of projects where success depends on skill and passion, and this is actually understood/realized by anyone, isn't large. Starting your own company/business is hard for people that are more of the maker type and less of the business type (not to mention the other risks).

Going to work for a startup isn't necessarily a fix. Lots of startups where you are still a product line worker. That's partly because it's also risky for a startup to rely on being able to find skilled and passionate people.

EDIT: Also happy to read the author has re-kindled his love of programming. I tend to worry that my industry "PTSD" is going to make it such that I can't have fun programming again. As a kid I used to spend endless nights coding with nobody paying me. Somehow money makes it a lot less fun.
> everyone in japan does it

Nope, not even close. Quite the opposite, in fact, as Japanese offices and apartments tend to be full to the brim with crap. Partly this is by necessity, since both are also tend to be quite small and cramped by Western standards, but being well behind the curve on moving away from paper to digital also contributes.

I used gnus for email (and ERC for IRC) for a few years starting around 23 years ago. The showstopper was the lack of async I/O and multithreading in GNU emacs, so the more you do inside emacs, the more everything regularly freezes up if you want your inbox to stay up to date.

Is GNU Emacs multithreaded or async yet? It was, uh, a few years away a few decades ago.
Maybe software engineers are just paranoid. Our best practice is to take hoarding to the extreme; keep every version of every file that ever existed, add a note about it, and push the entire history to each new checkout.

It probably does stem from some sort of loss aversion. We have all wished for longer undo history, things like git take that to the extreme. Now that we can't lose things, we're free to work without that fear.

Totally anecdotal, but have you tried coupling it with L-Theanine?

I've become extremely caffeine sensitive over the last few years -- anything more than about 80mg has me off the walls for the entire day. But ensuring I get L-Theanine along with it essentially blunts the response quite significantly and allows me to function normally.
i wonder is it only violent crime or also white collar crime like if there is a lot of corruption in business or bribes in politics
> But there is something becoming more familiar to me as I go back to the wild west of C programming (where very little happens behind the scenes I might point out - no garbage collection here!).

I share this sentiment. I pursued computer science because of the romanticized notation of tracking every bit and byte and talking directly to the hardware. I know I'm not alone given the popularity of old-school fantasy consoles and consumer microcontrollers, like Arduino.

It saddens me to say but if I were starting over today I might not enter the field professionally. Most modern development is gluing components together and wrangling packages. It's so far removed from the machine and the distance is only growing.
At least their jails aren’t physically dangerous to be in, I assume?
Clearly the solution is to get two electric meters, sign one up for normal rates, and sign the other one up for spot rates. And switch between them to use whichever is cheaper.

I joke, but only somewhat. This whole model is pretty clearly at least a bit broken. I don’t believe for a second that electricity cost $1k/kWh in any way that truly makes sense. Perhaps marginal electricity cost that much, but that’s a very different statement.

I wonder whether there is good research on market design for goods like electricity that are:

- Generated at a rate that is only weakly dependent on demand. (But may have expensive sources that will only operate when it’s economical to do so.)

- Are generated by very capital-intensive plants.

- Are mostly not storable. Taking delivery of electricity now and reselling later is expensive.

- Are needed by users in a mostly inelastic manner.

Cloud computing resources are similar. The “spot” electricity and cloud compute markets are a bit odd. They don’t work at all like spot commodities, many of which can be put in warehouses.
I was wondering about how this could affect gameplay. Like disguising your buildings by looking like other buildings.. That example of all the buildings being made of books. How can I tell the difference between a barracks and an archery range.. or just a patch of empty grass?
I used to play a text based MUD that had a high level spell that let you create illusion spells that just output text of your choosing onto other players screens. It was often used to just verbatim send the You Died, text and ruin peoples day for a moment.
I did talk to a lawyer, maybe he wasn't a good one, but my experience is that lawyers tend to be so risk-averse. He basically said "yeah, you can't sell them".

On the other side, these hedge fund people say their lawyers are getting all clever and stuff, but the contract says that even if the company decides to nullify the shares involved in the agreement, I still need to pay them the equivalent dollar value which basically means they're just looking out for themselves...
> Fun peripherals aren't really the reason for the RPi's large community

What many might not realize is that the RP2040 got a massive boost due to supply chain issues affecting the STM32 line. We had to choice but to redesign a board to adopt the RP2040 when STM32's were being quoted at 50+ week lead times. It was a black swan event like no other.

We would have never touched the RP2040 without such an overwhelming forcing function in place. The chip has serious shortcomings (example: no security) and the company could not give one shit about the needs of professional product developers. Just asking for proper support under Windows was a nightmare.

Not sure if things have changed, at the time they seem to have no understanding of how real products are developed, tested, qualified, certified, evolved and supported over time.

It's one thing to make little boards for educational markets. It's quite another to build embedded systems that are part of complex multidisciplinary products non-trivial service lifetime and support.

We dropped the RP2040 like a hot potato as soon as STM32's became available.

Making the decision to redesign the boards was a no-brainer. On the one side you are dealing with a company that makes educational boards that have the luxury of appealing to an audience that shrugs off such things as reliability, tools and manufacturing process integration. On the other side (STM), you have the support of an organization and an ecosystem that has been dedicated to meeting the needs of professional product developers for decades. The difference, from my side of the fence, is impossible to miss. Black swan events sometimes make you do things you will live to regret. For me, this was one of them.

BTW, I do like aspects of this chip. Someone should take it and run with it in a professional manner. Raspberry Pi Ltd. isn't that company. It wasn't until an engineer from India did the hard work to attempt to create a better experience under Windows that the company "released" a solution. This "solution" resorts to such things as reinstalling VSCode. Brilliant.
Totally valid point that swift is only useful for developing for Apple products, but this same criticism also applies more or less to Kotlin on Android. If you are dealing with iOS it is a joy compared to objective C. I would also add that it is a really nice language in general that is modern, expressive and general ergonomic.
One more quibble after playing today (Superbad was hard). I feel like GPT should not re-guess the same wrong movie multiple times. Perhaps you could remind it in your prompts that it’s “not A or B” on turn C.
Typically, your boilerplate startup options agreement allows for a one time transfer into a trust for estate planning purposes. Theoretically, the trust beneficiary would then be updated from the options recipient to their investor counterparty.

So you save 500$ on cloud costs, spend 4k on developer time and delay a 250k dollar app launch by 2 weeks.

When you're just messing around, this is great. Home brew gpu labs are fun and cool. As soon as you bring economics into it and start valuing time, it's a non-starter.

>Given that Tim has been suffering from depression for decades

Based on his blog post 'revealing' that he had being depressed and suicidal, it sure doesn't sound like it.

That post describes a one-year period (possibly less), in 1999, that he overcame on his own by taking some time off from work. He then writes that this 'time off' was when he went to Japan and supposedly became a sumo wrestling champion.

A therapist? Medication? A call to a help line? Depression that was debilitating or that lasted longer than a few months? Not for Tim Ferris(TM).

When I was younger, Tim Ferris was an inspiration. Now, I take everything he says with the most enormous grain of salt imaginable.

Tim Ferris is a charlatan. And he is very good at it.
> And apparently a javascript framework is currently beating all of those languages in the composite score on techempower, though that seems a bit weird to me:

Just-js was essentially built to run the techempower benchmark. It's not a real stack you can use. An exercise in "what is possible".
My Inception hit was zzz-smiley, thought bubble, snowing-cloud
Well, it might seem weird to you, but unfortunately it's not.

Private company shares aren't furniture. They aren't physical property and they don't come with traditional resale rights.

In buying those shares you signed a contract that came with stipulations. One of those stipulations is that you cannot transfer ownership to anyone else. It's perfectly normal and very common.

I just hope you're not realizing this for the first time, now, after you already laid out the capital to exercise those options.
Thank you for presenting the only two possible options.
"Some languages require significantly more effort to think in": No. A native speaker of one of those languages can think as effortlessly in them as you can in English.

"Interpersonal relationships in one language are non-translatable to other languages": I very much doubt that; the Bible (or at least the New Testament) has been translated into thousands of languages. Some concepts require more words in some languages than in others, but in the end it's possible. The real issue for things like Bible translation are plants and especially animals that don't exist in the other cultures, not interpersonal concepts.
It can contain listeria, giardia, roundworm, e. coli, salmonella, clostridium and all sorts of other nasty business. Most healthy horses have low amounts of these in their stools, especially compared with dogs or humans. However, each horse produces about 5 tons (11,000 lbs) of poo a year.

A bunch of horses in a big city on a rainy day is a recipe for spreading disease.
The extremes are what people will talk about most, for sure; I lived that experience in a state where medicaid wasn't expanded and have trouble shutting up about it. Most everyone around me avoided that experience, almost everyone in my social circles.

> Where do you draw the line between config file format and data serialization format?

It's a somewhat ambiguous concept. But generally speaking, config formats lack features that would be useful for a general purpose, and include features that are useful for a specific purpose. For example, it may lack a data type, but it may have some special characters that denote some string is a regular expression. The main difference being how easy it is for a human to deal with it.

The main purpose of a config format is for a human to tell a program how to operate. It is typically distinct from the actual input data used by an application to create output data. It's like the difference between **argv and stdin.

> You now have to write your own parser, which costs at least a bit of time and is going to be more prone to bugs than a widely-used deserialization library like Serde

Actually I argue the opposite. Parsers aren't compatible between implementations which leads to bugs. Specs aren't well understood by either users or programmers which leads to bugs. A home grown implementation doesn't need to be touched after it's first written, unless you're adding or changing the features of your configuration format.

> Users have to learn the format, and have to mentally switch between formats for each application. I just hate how every homegrown config format uses slightly different syntax, esp. which character starts a comment. With `config.yaml` or `config.toml`, I don't have to guess.

Most users never learn those formats properly, leading to false conclusions like the "Norway problem", which isn't a problem with the spec at all, it's a problem of users never reading the spec and attempting to write it (when YAML was never intended to be human-writeable, only human-readable; read the spec!).

Compare this to a home grown config file which is designed to be easy to write, adds functionality to make advanced behavior easier (without adding an entire Turing-complete DSL), and doesn't overload an existing format with broken and confusing changes (see Ansible's and other bastardized YAML hybrids).

"Simplified config file formats" are often just shitty generic DSLs that still lack functionality to actually make the user's life easier. Roll a custom format and hard things become easier [for the user].

Not legal or investing advice. If you can find a counterparty willing to perform a forward contract with a non recourse instrument (you owe them nothing if the shares turn out to be worthless), that might be a transaction worth investigating, depending on how much of a discount you’re willing to take due to unmarketability of the securities and your time horizon (liquidity now vs liquidity later).

In current state, the securities are worthless (due to possible transfer restrictions). Your objective is to figure out how to make them worth something to someone.
If you think those fines are strong punishments you are, frankly, delusional. Those figures are a drop in the bucket and are regarded by the companies in question as little more than the cost of doing business. Start putting CTOs in handcuffs and I'll consider it a strong punishment.

Edit: Also, just to be clear, the reason I brought up class action lawsuits is not because I think all punishment will result in remuneration for those affected, but because in those cases the class action lawsuits were the only consequence the companies in question faced.
> They are now worth millions of dollars on the open market

No, they aren't, because there is no open market for private company shares.

You have a private company valuation you can base the share price on, but that's it. And even that is typically based on black magic and accounting tricks since, at the risk of repeating myself, there's no open market in which those shares are trading and thus no method for price discovery.

And any theoretical transfer of ownership would occur in a private transaction or on a private marketplace that specializes in matching buyers and sellers in private company shares.

<chopped this bit out since the dead horse is beaten>

Edit: And to provide something a bit more constructive, here: unless some lawyer comes up with something clever--and certainly it's worth exploring your options--my bet is your only real move is to just hold onto those shares and wait.

Eventually there may be a liquidity event--probably an acquisition--and hopefully you'll net out positive. You basically bought a 100k lottery ticket. I suspect all you can do now is move on and hope it pays off.
While a good looking service, it seems pretty expensive unless you’re willing to donate your data to research?
