I agree with your take here. I have a partner that anyone in this thread would label as a #1 but my two siblings are essentially on the same plane of intimacy. If my partner left my life for whatever reason, I'd still have my siblings and while losing someone is hard it wouldn't destroy me because of that support. Its a fairly normal dynamic in my family. I had two uncles who lived together their whole lives, even through relationships that didn't end up working out even though they had children. My grandmother lived in the same apartment building as her brother for 30 years and her other two siblings lived in the same neighborhood. Her husband (my grandfather) died a few years into their marriage and her siblings (who never got married) always fulfilled the role that a partner would play.
Using plus(a,b) for complex types sounds fine to me… I have to imagine if I were working with a huge file of these for a while it would start to feel normal, just like every language has a different syntax but you eventually feel comfortable using.

You can still be anonymous on Reddit, unlike facebook, which comes with good and bad.

I think it's true that Reddit leans more towards supporting internet privacy initiatives, net neutrality, etc. whereas facebook users often have no awareness of these issues in the first place.

But at the same time, no requirement to associate with a real-world identity means there are more sockpuppet accounts, more astroturfing, etc.
Individually disposable, yes. But if you have a cluster of those, and you powered them on at the same time -- as it often happens -- you're in for an exciting ride when your servers start rebooting almost simultaneously, give or take a few minutes.

This wasn't what I imagined myself doing this morning, but here is a shortened step-by-step guide how to acquire psychedelics as an adult:

- Get Tor browser and find one of the various marketplaces, purchase small samples and send part of the sample to one of the various test labs that can confirm the quality

OR

- Find a community where people are likely to have some sort of experience with psychedelics, like self-improvement groups, hacker spaces or just visit raves

- Start talking with a person who could maybe possibly have done psychedelics at one point or another. Don't ask them outright about buying, but starts a conversation about your curiosity around psychedelics for self-help.

- If they reciprocate, you can at one point of the conversation ask them kindly if they happen to know anyone who can sell to you. If they say no, just move on with the conversation as to not make anything awkward for either of you

- Repeat until you find someone, you'll find someone for sure, in either of the groups mentioned before.

The spring bars are not a quick swap and they are not easy or painless. I have a small watch collection and a larger strap collection :P, but I'd never call it easy or convenient.

Now, there are some straps, even in budget category, that have a small lever that manipulates the spring and it's fairly easy to switch - but only if all your straps have the same mechanism. This is then compounded by different widths and types and whatnots.

As ever, Apple reaps the benefits (as well as drawbacks) of the basically single hardware device - you can build a massive ecosystem around a predictable, controlled, singular, homogeneous product line.

Or to put it other way - any one of my friends or family can and do change apple watch straps. 96% of them would be either unable or unwilling or both to change a regular strap. Even myself, I prefer the Nato straps on my regular watches as they are easier to swap than conventional straps.
Is the time it takes to spin up a database really a primary concern for anyone but a hobbyist? Hopefully one would take far more than 10 seconds to address the actual concerns of database work: backups, replication, upgrade procedures, access control, settings tuning, required extensions, etc.

If anything, companies are drowning in a proliferation of siloed datastores and most are highly motivated to fix that situation; the exact opposite concern of "quickly spin up a new database".

Not necessarily. For instance rocket league was released in 2015 and hasn't gotten any such update since 2017. If the base is solid the players can spend their time mastering what they are given and over time it grows on you. Imagine chess buffing up the pawn and nerfing the bishop.

The claim was that AI currently surpasses human-performance on most tasks it's given, not that it can do an ok job on toy-level versions of those tasks.

To look at one of your examples:

> GPT-4 can write performance reviews given the right context.

The context is the performance review. Understanding what an employee has done relative to their responsibilities and goals is the entire point. Taking that context and packaging it into a review format (the thing an LLM could _maybe_ do adequately) is trivial compared to the observations and analysis that build that context.
I did a quick experiment. The results are interesting.

The SVG file is 135k.

The PNG inside it is 48kb when converted to binary. The JPG is 53kb, for a combined total of 101kb. With Brotli compression, the SVG comes over the wire in 94kb. So for this particular example, the SVG comes over in less bytes than the two original files would. Am I missing something?

Notes: (1) The JPG is ridiculously compressed and there are artifacts galore so not the best test case (2) There was no savings sending the original two binary files with Brotli compression but from a quick search that appears to be normal. (3) I'm not sure how to just test gzip.

I'm not sure of the exact sensor. There is a little more info on it here for example (https://www.mazdausa.com/static/manuals/2021/mazda3/contents...) but I can confirm the sensor placement is the same behind the windscreen, the lower one I think is by the badge. I wish they'd just made dashcam a standard feature instead and forget about trying to throw me through the windshield for shits and giggles.
I'd assume Amazon is going to institute new draconian measures on their employees because that's who they are. There will probably be lots of jobs for AI/ML people to implement those measures to ensure that the plebs are properly attending tasks anyway; theft is just another aspect they'll monitor for anyway.

The more interesting question that occurs to me is - what is the optimal item to steal from an Amazon warehouse? Nintendo games actually seem like a decent size/weight/value ratio, but I'd bet there's much better. Obviously precious jewelry is a classic, but there might already be increased scrutiny on those. I'm sure some enterprising young go-getters will figure it out.
> Not only is it materially bad, a lot of society's trust is burned.

Too much rule adherence, resulting in too much trust can also have undesirable consequences, e.g.

From "Traffic safety and norms of compliance with rules:An exploratory study"[0]:

"We use a simple model of drivers’ vigilance effort choice to show that drivers’ propensity to follow traffic rules has two opposite effects on road safety. On the one hand, it lowers the frequency of dangerous situations. On the other hand, it also reduces drivers’ vigilance effort as each driver anticipates that dangerous situations will be less frequent. These two opposite effects may lead to a non-monotonic relationship between compliance with road rules and the incidence of road traffic accidents. We present cross-country estimates that support the existence of a bell-shaped relationship between norms of compliance with rules and traffic fatalities." [0]

Well, I meant moreso how building blocks connect, e.g. how HTML, JavaScript, CSS and React work together. For someone without that knowledge the code generators are pure magic. But if you already know how things connect you have a huge advantage. If you're able to say to the code generator "I want to connect this, this and that", you're much more literate in your ability to interact with code generators.
nowadays marketing evolved into SEO-hacker type performance marketer who looks at metrics and can optimize product&marketing mix to optimize metric.

since there is no metric for good product, only sales or funnel size - product will be shaped in a way to increase sales/TAM/funnel size - from here you get messaging as vague as it gets (like nonsense from WeWork: "create a world where people work to make a life, not just a living" - to increase audience size/TAM to maximum)

Any Unaligned intelligence is dangerous. People get murdered because the perpetrator's desire to kill is unaligned with the victim's desire to live. The only thing that changes is the scope of danger.

Look at how we're giving LLMs more and more agency, embodiment and tool control. They're being "plugged" into everything. Palantir even has a military use LLM they're excitedly showcasing. They're several popular repos that give control of your terminal and browser to LLMs.
The moment we built something showcasing strong general intelligence, we began to use it to make cognitive decisions and take actions in our stead.

Now an LLM browses the web for you. And as soon as June with Windows, it'll take actions on your computer for you as well.

If anything this recent LLM era has shown, it's that general AI won't need to escape any "box" because two sides will be missing.

No point saying "well a person can't kill thousands on his/her own so an ai won't be able to" when you have the ai influencing military tactics on a global scale.

General Super Intelligence will evidently not be as blacked boxed as any one human and that's not even taking into account whatever advantage super intelligence will bring.

Well, that's why we don't use stars on their own.

As I explained, we're building an aggregate view across a bunch of metrics with human judgement making the final call. Further, we're often comparing against alternatives so this isn't really a Yes/No type of thing (especially on stars). It's a general sense of a project's well-being and stability.

----

LangChain is a great example:

* 44k stars, 5.1k forks

* Roughly 8 months old (very young)

* Very active commit history

* Insane number of issues

* Lots of open PRs

This is a tool that we'd be hesitant to use without proper risk mitigations. It's young, it's moving very quickly. While it has a lot of visibility, it's not clear if that's all moving in the right direction.

By contrast, underscore:

* 27k stars, 5.6k forks

* 11+ years old

* Stalling commit history

* Some issues, but not many.

* Not many open PRs

This is clearly a project on the opposite side of the spectrum. If you didn't know about mature alternatives (lodash, rambda, etc), it'd be a safe project to approve.
These aren't buttons
You need to add more context, but if you mean for onboarding a new software developer (both to your org and the practice of software development as a job):

Have them execute a project or effort in miniature.

If you have a "support tool" (how we generally categorize it, an internal product like a data analysis or transformation tool) that is needed but not urgently (depending on size and knowledge needed, a 2-8 week project with a real deadline at least 2-4 weeks past the deadline you give them), give it to them to develop. Have them go through all your process motions (set up the repo, get dev tools, set up testing, set up deployment if applicable, etc.). This integrates them into your overall organizational or team processes so that when they're working on the "real" product(s) they already know the process. This also lets you gain better insight into where they are as a developer and to mentor them (I let people run in circles for a bit with light prodding to correct bad designs before I step in, give them a chance to figure it out themselves before being heavy handed; set a time limit appropriate to your needs for this of course). This also is an opportunity for them to practice "requirements elicitation" from the users (likely other team members, if you run them through an internal-only project like I try to do).

Afterward (or if you don't have a project like that available) hand them one (and only one, correct focus and understanding of priorities is not yet a skill novices often have) task and mentor them through it. Again, focusing on the whole process. This ought to be a simple task, maybe even one that's already completed to avoid risk and have a measure of where it should go, just to exercise the real process. Once that's completed continue with less handholding but still one task at a time for a couple more tasks. After 2-3 tasks like this, which should not take very long this should take on the order of 2-4 weeks in most cases, start handing them bigger tasks from the queue and then let them operate like any other team member (whatever that means in your org).

And understand mentoring. New hires (especially new to the industry hires) need mentoring. It doesn't need to be you, but your organization should have people who can help. This is both career mentoring and technical mentoring (where I generally focus). On the technical side, there is a lot that new folks don't understand about task decomposition and time management, in particular, not to mention the actual technical work itself (how to use the language and tooling available, good design, design that fits the existing mold rather than fights it, etc.). Don't expect them to get it through osmosis. That may have worked for you, but it doesn't work for everyone. Tailor the mentoring to the individual. If they're a quick study, you may not need to do much more than check in for a couple minutes a day, for some you may have to be more proactive for a while.
Also remember how new this technology is. Where in the phase where things that are "obvious" are still being worked out. That's why I think the naysayers are overly cynical about this technology. I think we're still on the exponential part of the curve.
My point was that these details can't possibly only be noticed by "the ecosystem". Movies are for everyone. Most just don't care enough to mention it.

Just because a bunch of nerds didn't notice something doesn't mean nobody else has.
What it means to me is irrelevant. It's what it means to the average person that is important. To the average person, it means a human-like intelligence that has independent agency (can have goals, make plans, etc. of its own design).

SEEKING FREELANCER | Remote

Refine and iterate on gpt agents.

An example project - prove that it's impossible to make a GPT agent that can do the following task:

Please make me a table of all quest diagnostics locations within 10 miles of [zip, city], as well as the yelp review scores for each location. Do it only via browsing, no APIs.

But the constraints:

No API usage (other than google search API), no hard coding of anything to do with quest diagnostics or yelp. Should be a general browser agent. Must have no errors in the result. Must complete the task within 10 minutes.

Inspiration:

* BabyAGI (seems to make progress, but doesn't finish the task within 30+ minutes, and partial progress shows the list of locations isn't quite right. Doesn't succeed with GPT-4 or GPT-3.5)

* Auto-GPT (doesn't succeed with GPT-4 or GPT-3.5 and doesn't seem promising)

* Amoni (fails with an error)

* A human doing it manually (flawless, does the whole thing in a few minutes)

But the steps the human takes to do it manually seem to be things that GPT should be able to figure out.

Your goal would be to prove that it's impossible (and hopefully to make it work in the process!).
Must be C/C++.
Right, but what if your subscription tool that you want to cancel is pipelined into your workflow in such a way that you’re paying a technical or operational cost to cancel beyond just severing the account itself, i.e. vendor lock-in?

This is why it’s often better as a solo dev to not rely on these tools in case you have to jettison them and break your workflow.
