> Even without explicit mode annotations, the compiler can statically determine which variables may escape their enclosing region. Such variables are assigned the global mode; all others are automatically inferred to be local.

There's a little more info about mode inference in the proposal:

https://github.com/ocaml-flambda/ocaml-jst/blob/main/jane/do...

So arguments to "public functions" do require explicit annotations in order to be local, but otherwise the compiler is able to infer locality and this acts as a transparent optimization.
So to take this to an extreme, if the cohort that got checkups lived a healthy life until age 80, and the no-checkup cohort lived with diabetes and dialysis until 80, this study would say “checkups lead to no decrease in morbidity.”

More relevant for the insurer (which might help explain why an insurer is urging checkups) living until 80 with diabetes and on dialysis is much more expensive than living healthily until 80.

Oddly I quite like these people -- provided they're internally and externally consistent. It's refreshing to say, "you're being an asshole" and have a friend go, "oh my bad, I do that sometimes."

Most young folks can't imagine having been an asshole and they call themselves emotionally intelligent without realizing their feelings are a tyranny. They've unsubscribed from anything that ever brought them even minor discomfort. Their social contract basically amounts to "lie to me and I'll lie to you." They are huge wusses.

If a friend asks you if their hair looks nice, it's kinder to say, "your hair looks like my nana's and she's been dead for 10 years" then it is to let dozens of folks think the same thing of them. I have a couple friends who would tell me the first thing -- they're whose opinion I trust. If they told me that, I'd piss my self laughing even if I just paid $70 for the haircut. Modern day stoics IMO. They're smart enough to know how to be like-able, they understand the fluff-each-other's-shared-delusions game, they just don't want to play. When they tell you something kind, you know it was real.

Most of my friends who are brutally honest try to say the things they're thinking as much as possible. They want that from others too. It can be super off putting, especially if you need to believe certain things about yourself.

Well ever since github switched from password auth to token only, it's been impractical to do anything but copy paste it from somewhere and have it cache/store instead of typing it in from memory every time like one could do with passwords. Probably one of the worse security decisions I've ever seen, reducing github security to the same kind of level that those corpo directives do that need password switching every month, so it's just kept on a post-it on the machine lol.

No surprise that they get leaked all the time now, though at least one can cancel them at any point... and then you have to spend an hour or two replacing the cached version everywhere.

It’s not the visit’s themselves, though there is some risk of contacting disease in a waiting room it’s not very high.

However, the effect I mentioned is very real. When someone gets a clean bill of health and they are more like to ignores symptoms right after the visit. Thus there is no spike in heart attacks after a cardiologist visit, but there is a spike in people ignoring symptoms afterwards resulting in a small spike in deaths from heart attacks.

On top of that medical procedures like biopsies carry risks and healthy people going for an annual physical are vastly more likely to have unnecessary procedures done.

> It makes absolutely no financial sense to go "off grid".

It makes plenty of sense if you're operating on a small scale, on the order of tiny house territory.

This is obvious if you just imagine the extreme case; someone in a yurt on some land with just LED lights and laptop/phone/Starlink to power.

The cost of getting grid-tied alone would trivially blow out the cost of such a meager solar+battery+inverter setup. That's not even considering the recurring cost of power bills.

But I would agree it probably doesn't make financial sense to transition off-grid if you've already got the power poles and meter connected outside. Especially with a sizable inefficient American house...

VR was really impressive a few years ago, it was running only on gaming computers with VR headsets. Now, with the quest 2 (far less powerfull than the gaming computers mentioned above) and web XR, it seems that developers are targeting mainly low end platforms, and so recent apps and games are rather less immersive than before mainly due to dated graphic quality, and lags when you play it on the quest (who has just a powerfull phone cpu/gpu, poor thing), or in a browser. I hope webgpu will changes that in the browser, and surely an other autonomous headset will arise with a cpu comparable to the apple M1/M2.
But since this is about the law; ChatGPT can't lie because there is no mens rea. And of course this is a common failing with the common person when it comes to the law, a reckless disregard there of (until it is too late of course). And recklessness is also about intent, it is a form of wantonness, i.e. selfishness. This is why an insane person cannot be found guilty, you can't be reckless if you are incapable of discerning your impact on others.

>”I apologize… does indeed exist”

This showed me that people don’t yet understand how to practice good “hygiene” when using these tools.

This apparent doubling down is (usually) the product of asking it to verify something it previously output in the same chat session

It tends toward logical consistency unless directly told something is wrong. As such, asking it “were you correct when you told me X?” is bad hygiene.

You can “sanitize” the validation process by opening a new chat session and asking it if something is correct. You can also ask it to be adversarial and attempt to prove its prior output is wrong.

Even then it’s just a quick way to see if it’s output was garbage. A positive result is not a confirmation and independent verification is necessary.

Also, especially with ChatGPT, you have to understand that its role has been fine-tuned to be helpful and, to some extent, positively affirmative. This means, in my experience, that if you at all “show your hand” with a leading question or any (even unintended) indication of the answer you’re seeking, it is much more likely to output something that affirms any biases in your prompt.

People keep saying that it’s trained on human conversations/texts/etc and so everything it outputs is a reflection. But that’s not quite true:

ChatGPT in particular, unless you run up against firm guardrails of hate speech etc., appears to be fine tuned to a very large degree to be non confrontational. It generally won’t challenge your assumptions, so if your prompts have underlying assumptions in them (they almost always will) then ChatGPT will play along.

If you’re going to ask it for anything resembling factual information you have to be as neutral and open ended in tone as possible in your prompts. And if you’re trying to do something like check a hunch you have, you should probably not be neutral and instead ask it to be adversarial. Don’t ask “Is X true?”, ask “Analyze the possibility that X is false.”

Those are overly simplistic formulations of prompts but that’s the attitude you need to go into with it if you’re doing anything research-ish.

It wasn't a mainstream thing, you had to know a little bit about the communities involved.

It depends on area, generally:
Provider APIs(ChatGPT through OpenAPI etc), langchain, huggingface transformers, pinecone/vector DBs are absolutely taking off.

Lots of specialist ML models which required specific data collected carefully for a business task are no longer needed. Most ML roles until now, and research time, was spent collecting data and training specialist models.

General models like ChatGPT or pretrained image models do better than a fresh model trained from scratch or even a finetuned small/medium model (e.g. BERT/T5) ever will these days.

The special ML (pipeline of data --> train --> deploy --> manage/mlops/drift) used tech like PyTorch, Tensorflow, MLFlow.. and for more applicable levels (e.g. deployment), transformers, sci-kit learn, keras. However these are being replaced wholesale at many companies by langchain, huggingface inference API (for vision tasks) and pinecone/other vector DBs.

Langchain is just a smart way to wrap and order API calls to OpenAI/ChatGPT/other providers really, with some prebuilt use cases. Right now there is less on the metrics/output side than with lets say "bring-your-own-data" ML models, which you could measure things like precision.

Now, the old guard of ML (PyTorch, Tensorflow) is still used for training new models, open source replication attempts etc. But newer frameworks like JAX have not really taken off, as they have been entering the community as the community switched to using providers, rather than training their own models.

There remains a subset still powerful for communication with C-suite: Using simple models like K-means to show clusters with readable axis. They tend to use sci-kit learn or R. But this is more classic data science than ML.

There are also areas of AI so far relatively unaffected by ChatGPT etc - time series prediction (like OP, so it's less surprising they are using the old guard technologies), game engine AIs, non-discrete data, recommendation algorithms, some computer vision algorithms (especially Active learning). Some like HuggingFace (a commercial company running transformers Python module) are sort of inbetween given they serve both data-trained and the newer models.

I used to use dedicated camera for photos and videos but after kids I have switched to phone cameras.

Initially, it was pain to use phone for photos or videos. Especially, the lag of unlocking phone, finding the right icon to click on and the waiting for the camera app to load.

But I record tons of boring moments, like kids eating, napping etc. It wasn’t deliberate practice, just something I enjoyed. I think this helped me get faster with phone camera. Now I am able to capture spontaneous moments pretty often. Also be able to capture them without looking at the phone.

But there is no way for me to be part of moments and also capture it myself. Usually, if I’m engaged with kids, then my wife captures the moment and vice versa.

Short version is that with mTLS and short-lived certificates you don't have to worry about anyone stealing and re-using your JWT tokens and revoking tokens.

LVH from Latacora explains it way better than I could in "A child's garden of inter-service authentication" [1]

However, here is my view:

If your token is not bound to the connection, someone can steal and reuse it, just like any other token. It is possible to use OAuth token binding [2], but at this level of complexity, mTLS + short lived certs deliver the same security and are easier to deploy.

It's easy to mess up JWT signatures, although, to be fair, it's not like X.509 certificates format is any better, however it's been more tested over years of use.

If you knew the first thing about capitalism, you would know that what one "cares about" has only the most contingent relation to the end product of their labor. In other words, what the workers care about is effectively meaningless because the workers are not in charge; the profit is.
