Digital desire paths? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desire_path
Actually there is reason to not prefer foods that we have evolved with because we may have evolved short term trade offs for reproduction that happen to be bad for us long term.

Classic example being how evolving with meat doesn’t make saturated fat good for us in the long term. And, further, replacing it with modern unsaturated fats (like canola oil) improves health outcomes. Your heuristic of "we've eaten it for a long time so it must be better" doesn't capture that.

Frankly, it seems inevitable that the optimal diet (one that maximizes health through all stages of life) will be a modern artificial one since it seems at its root just a technological problem. But we certainly aren't there yet where we can replace an orange with a synthetic orange pill. That is an interesting world to ponder though.

1. Absolute good is problematic even for philosophers. Under consequentialist framework, catching cheaters would allow others or yourself to reeducate them, causing a lot of social repercussions, especially if the test contained safety instruction. The consequences of cheating are very complex, and ones of fostering cheating behavior even more so.

2. It is, in as much as you believe AI should provide accurate answers to others or force them to think for themselves instead. The professor is honest in deontological point of view in that they're not lying to a person, but are lying in general. Depending on deontology in question this may or may not be allowed.

I saw this too and wasn't too bothered, although I wondered if there was something I did on the page that somehow triggered the "we think you should know about our VPN thing" popup. Which IMO is also a bad thing - users don't know why you're showing them that thing at that particular moment.

The best place to show something like this is probably in an update splash screen. "Hey great news you're updated to v.next, you might want to know about our VPN thing too"

What do you mean by "same fate as kotlin"? I would say Kotlin is doing great. Anything I missed?
The crucial flaw with htmx is that it’s an enhancement of html itself; if a fancy and interesting new UI pattern is invented somewhere, the htmx devs or contributors will have to add support for it into htmx itself!

And imagine if htmx became absorbed into the real html standard. It would take much longer for the standards body (and then browser makers) to respond and implement.

So the crucial flaw is that it will always be reacting instead of innovating. And more generally, this is likely why the “thick client” approach is more popular on the web these days. Nobody wanted to wait around for standards bodies and browser makers.
Which global economy does your state match up to?
Perhaps fair, but I think though this ties back to one point I was making:

"And then I'd say that this general lack of enthusiasm around the relational model and ACID means that people haven't demanded the right things from their database tooling."

In general there are plenty of solutions in database research and implementation. But because the broad community of developers doesn't put data first, and have a low expectation and knowledge of what a DBMS can and should do...

It took us years to get to the place where Postgres is common place instead of e.g. MySQL; and back in the day "serious" folks spent tens of thousands on Oracle licenses... I guess that's progress, but there's so much more that can be done in this sphere.
Yes, that could be an idea. Thanks for the encouragement.
There's a difference to having the right to something and being forced to do something. For example all states give the right to a K-12 education, up to a point (usually there's age limits, and some states also have pre-k).

However just because children have the right to go to school doesn't mean they're forced to actually go and sit down (eg Wisconsin v Yoder). The courts do recognize that parents have the rights to force their kids to do certain things. Eg you can ground your child and it isn't "forced confinement", you can make them go to school and it isn't slavery, etc. Those exemptions pretty much go away once someone turns 18
For transformer, v4 chip has 70-100% compute capacity and 40% memory of A100 for pretty much the same price.

NY Times, 1976:

But there is considerable evidence that this warm period is passing and that temperatures on the whole will get colder. For example, in the last 100 years mid‐latitude air temperatures peaked at an all‐time warm point in the 1940's and‐have been cooling ever since.

[Climatologists] are predicting greater fluctuations, and a cooling trend for the northern hemisphere.

The most imminent and far reaching [danger] is the possibility of a food‐climate crisis that would burden the well to do countries with unprecedented hikes in food prices, but could mean famine and political instability for many parts of the non-industrialized world.”

So writes Stephen Schneider, a young climatologist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colo., reflecting the consensus of the climatological community in his new book, “The Genesis Strategy.”

It's hard to get a military to invade its own country, harder to get them to keep doing it, and harder yet to keep the whole apparatus supplied in the process. And the waves of mass desertions tend to come with military hardware attached.

NIST as a Cyber Threat Actor
"Unfortunately, the NIST Guidelines state that they should be used “in conjunction with” two standards of a private Swiss-based standards organization known as ISO that lies behind a paywall that costs $150 for “personal copies” for five years. NIST also cites an additional seven ISO-published standards as relevant to implementing the guidelines. The total bundle comes to $1592—paid in Swiss Francs. Without rational explanation, the price per page of the downloaded files varies between 7.08 and 1.37 Swiss Francs."

Well-said. And it is not just NIST.

Each LED has a different response for how much light you get out based on how much current goes in. To get the same brightness you have to compensate for that. (Default behavior is one super dim LED, and one that is like staring at the sun.)

The problem is that once a whale gets run over by a ship, he/she will (somehow) tell the other whales that ships are "bad" and must be attacked. Then whales tell eachother that ships must be attacked, and this continues even after the original whale that got run over by a ship dies.

> Replacing our entire nuclear capacity with renewables within a single year

This seems irrelevant to nuclear decommissioning (and pricing). Both can be true. More importantly, since you seem to think that renewables are a cheap replacement for existing nuclear (i think both can easily coexist), do you have any numbers that manufacturing, installing and operating brand new renewables capacity is cheaper than the old nuclear that has already been built? (where most of its cost comes from, already paid decades ago)

To be fair, I did this with SOAP/XML for one project. 99.999% of the time the messages are exactly the same except for the payload, and nobody cares about the other .001%.

If it's parametrizable why bother with completely dynamic generation? That's just more code to maintain.
To my understanding NACS is now in the same standards track as CCS at the IEC standards body and is intended to replace some of the deliberation over a proposed "v3.0" CCS US standard upgrade that got stalled in various committees. There were some thoughts that the US needed a better connector than the under-adopted CCS1 (which is different from the better adopted EU/Asia CCS2 connector) and considered building a better connector from scratch for the US, but Tesla short-circuited that proposed committee effort by opening NACS directly to the standards body. It hasn't officially been standardized yet, but my understanding is that it will be sooner rather than later.
Your question is my argument against puzzle questions in interviews.

When you see a seemingly impossible question in an interview. You know there’s a trick. You’ve been handed a riddle to be solved.

When my boss hands me a seemingly impossible problem, it might actually be impossible. At best it’s a mystery, at worst an enigma, or a paradox. It’s a very different skill set to go searching for a solution that is not obvious and not found in the literature (because nobody wrote it down or they used jargon nobody else knows).

I have a coworker who says things like, “we can do anything in software” if he says it again I’m getting him a biography of Claude Shannon, because apparently he did not learn about Information Theory in school.

You don't know enough. Stop watching Carlin and go learn something about growing things in your environment.

> The people who greenlighted this were the people who ousted those who built Firefox.

Mozilla got rid of their founder, Brendan Eich, for donating to a California initiative against gay marriage. Now we see what that costs us.
I wanted to like Firefox. So much so that I used to carry my keys on a Firefox branded lanyard. Eventually, I gave up and switched. Presently, Im trying Brave. I don't really like it, but I'm now at the point where I don't think there is such a thing as a user-friendly browser anymore.
Great! I bailed in the first four years I guess, after the fourth change in API.
This is a very good point, and I say that as someone who willingly chooses to use XSLT (I used to use it to generate my website before that got too unwieldy, and still use it for some things).

It's a very natural proclivity of a language designer designing a template language for language X to want to find a way to articulate that template language in that same language X also. I think most engineers can't help but love ideas like that. It's probably the same reason everyone who creates a programming language wants to make a self-hosted compiler for it.

In this case though, XML being a rather verbose and arguably limited semantic markup language for textual documents, it's an extraordinarily unergonomic choice for templating itself (in notable stark contrast to SXML combined with Lisp code, which is an example of homoiconicity between the structure being templated and the templating language works very well).
I forget that Apple Pay is even an option online since I use Firefox. Not sure why Apple wouldn't open those APIs to third-party browsers, they make money every time someone uses Apple Pay.

That's very funny. But is it possible whatever rudimentary coverings early humans had would just decay unlike a flute? Or would we still expect to see... fibers or something?

I wouldn't focus on running in your state, it takes quite a toll on the body if you're not used to it. Maybe start with increasing your steps with 1k per day each week? This week 3k, next week 4k until maybe 10k? Combine that with some strength training once a week and see where it takes you.
One of the most common weeds in North Texas are various forms of wild lettuce. We have had entire salads picked from weeds in the yard. Less common and less aggressive than wild lettuce are dandelions which taste so much better.

An interesting note is that I have seen wild lettuce grow almost everywhere including both Afghanistan and the deserts of central California. Wild lettuce is called Lactuca from Latin which is where the English word lactose comes from. Lettuce gives off a thick white latex sap when broken which is a mild relative of heroine.
The answers were purposely wrong though and supposedly obviously so. Something I have seen in every multiple choice test I have ever taken.

I meant the hype around open source LLMs, not OpenAI's LLM. On reading your response and my original comment, I suspect you thought I was including OpenAI's LLM as a hype-driven product. Sorry if you didn't think that.

That said, the rest of your comment is spot-on.

Paul G says this too that ChatGPT expertise is the same as a journalist's expertise. Its output seems impressive until it is on a subject you know very well.

GPT-x is like a wide-eyed intern or junior team member who loves to shoot its mouth because it has been told to be assertive and vocal. The good thing is that it is willing to learn.

Now, if this is true of GPT-x which is pretty much the benchmark against which every open source LLM is being measured, you can guess for yourself how much room these open source LLMs still have to cover.
somewhat ironically, widespread nuclear war might actual pare back human population to a point where emissions dramatically declined.
I think with time comes desensitization to that initial feeling. It never really goes away, but as you slowly solve more and more problems self assurance slowly overrides that anxiety. One thing that really helps me is to break down a problem and its abstractions. It's so much easier to start with the more "obvious" or higher level facts, and slowly chip your way into the center.
I like how none of this is positive. It's clearly meant to be read both ways.
Not exactly, the H-1s are valid for 6 years from the date of issue, and you can re-capture all time spent outside the US. There's a 60 day grace period where you can do your job search from within the US (prior to 2017 I believe you had to get out immediately and do your job search from abroad) but you can file for a new cap-exempt H-1B for the remaining balance of time - plus recapture all time spent outside the US even on holiday - up to 6 years from the date you got it.

[edit] Actually as of 2017, there's no time limit to apply for recapture. So if you came to the US on an H-1B, worked for 1 year, then you can apply for a new cap-exempt H-1B for the balance of the 5 years remaining at any time in the future. [1]

If an analogy helps, I think the current AI craze will lead to some obvious and permanent changes to how the world works in a way that’s very similar to the self-driving Tesla hype over the past 5+ years.

Things like ChatGPT might get 90% of the way there very, very quickly for many use cases (similar to how lane keeping and adaptive cruise control is 90% of “self-driving”) but the remaining 10% of edge cases will require humans for a very long time (similar to how we never quite managed to get “100% self driving” because the vehicles still can’t respond reliably 100% of the time). But we still value it because the 90% works.

Once people understand that 10% limitation and once the 90% value has been gained/normalized/integrated, the hype will die down and we’ll be watching a slow grind to figure out how to “fix” the last 10% which is necessary to live up to what’s being hyped today.
