I get that but I think it's a poor decision. Hopefully someone will release a battery pack that can handle hot swapping.

Neanderthal tools might look relatively simple, but new research shows that Homo neanderthalensis devised a method of generating a glue derived from birch tar to hold them together about 200,000 years ago—and it was tough. This ancient superglue made bone and stone adhere to wood, was waterproof, and didn’t decompose. The tar was also used a hundred thousand years before modern humans came up with anything synthetic.
To be fair, explaining it clearly would probably reveal it's incorrect.
There is a chart that compares Parameter Count, Size of model in GB, and "Perplexity". (Size of model is on a logarithmic scale)

https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/48489457/243093269...

You can see that "Perplexity" goes down as Model Size goes up.
Others have mentioned this but a lot of places already have similar “class” concepts.
To broaden the scope of this a bit CDMX has women (and children?) only metro cars - which seems to be confidence inspiring for women who use them.
I’ve also taken a sleeper bus from Scotland to England which had seats along with cots for the overnight ride.
Additionally Amtrak in the US has a few different offerings.

I know the scope of this is probably more bus/train related but in my opinion the people who would want a true “business class” might take an Uber/Lyft.

My senior manager at works takes the public bus to commute to this office - just another data point.
I would argue that the silicon-based LLMs we have today do explicitly lack sentience.

Sentence, self-awareness, can only exist when you receive yourself as an input in some form shape or way.

These llms just don't do that. Technically recursive networks that we were using before the llms could, but these new models have no method but the context to understand their own state of mind.

And my knowledge they aren't currently trained on their own output when it comes to context, they're just trained on a data set that exists already. As a result they have no way of differentiating their own output from the input they get from the world. I don't see them being able to be sentient in any way as a result.

Which is not me saying they can't be, we just have to get to the point that we are training that into them somehow.
I will take that!!!

Not GP so I can’t comment on what they’re referring to.

The point you make is one I’ve thought about over the last year and I’m curious to hear other theories and thoughts on why Democratic legislatures haven’t passed any federal-level abortion legislation. My inclination is to believe that some Democratic strategist(s) predicted that their party would get more votes by campaigning on “they’re taking away your rights” rather than “we’re guaranteeing your rights”.
your comment implies your understanding of the timeline is backwards. they had to do those things after they had gotten hundreds of millions of users.
The problem with an anonymous crypto donation is that it is hard to convince the tax authorities that this is what is was.

I've had some trouble with foreign income during an audit from my tax authorities. It took me a while to find the correct documents that the tax authorities accepted as proof for where the money came from. And that was for 100% legal income.

If you get an anonymous donation in crypto, you have zero proof where that money came from. The tax authorities will have no reason to believe it was an actual donation, and chances are high you'll end up having to pay random taxes and a fine.

You can't paint all mods with the same brush. For every vocal "power mod" that would fall into the category you describe, there are probably 10 mods of communities that you've never heard of, who are vital to their community's success, who would disagree with your statement.

Reddit forgets that it has the position it does solely because of the community. Without the content provided by users (and managed by mods), Reddit would be an empty husk. It always irks me when people talk about who "owns" Reddit. I'll use myself as a counterexample. I founded a small rhythm game modding community about six years ago. I created it, I named it, I ran it by myself for a couple of years before it actually became somewhat popular. There was a pivotal moment where two separate things happened to greatly increase our reach. As a few of the members rose to prominence with their contributions to the community, I brought them in as moderators and later administrators. Now, I could have maintained my "boss man" position, I could have looked at the community as "mine", but I chose not to. I made them equal administrators to myself, and I stopped making unilateral decisions as to how things would work. I did this in recognition of the fact that, without their contributions, "my" community would be nothing. The community is bigger than me, and that's ok.

Reddit is the same way. Without the moderators and users of the site, Reddit would be nothing. Throwing your e-peen around and smacking everyone in the face with it "because it's your site" is a very arrogant decision, one that ignores the role users and moderators have played in the site's success. All to chase the almighty dollar.

Reddit seems to have forgotten the lesson they originally gave Digg. No matter, Reddit will eventually be irrelevant, just like every such UGC-driven site that loses sight of how they got where they are. Reddit's no Facebook, in terms of sheer resistance to this due to size, and they never will be if they keep it up.
This looks like it' using the method that was mentioned in the article too, it needs regular calibration with a cuff (which they include with the product).
Music trackers are so cool. Instead of recorded audio, they produce modules which are essentially programs that the tracker software executes to reproduce the sound. You can even see the unmixed waveforms of each instrument being generated in real time. It's just so cool to watch.

There was some recent research that was confirming capabilities improve smoothly as a function of parameter count yes.

Their point was a lot of research that had been showing jumps in performance at certain "breakpoints" for lack of a better word were the result of badly selected metrics versus a case of suddenly emergent behaviour.

The nice thing about that research is it suggests that if you are able to try something on a smaller model it will scale nicely to a bigger model.
When Men Behave Badly–A Review
Not sure if I replied to you further up, or someone else, but in any scientific study you should be attempting to minimize the impact of the observation method used on the outcome of the data, and when it comes to answering questions truthfully, someone being aware that they are participating in a study does not do that at all. They should be using data from real-world situations in which people did not have an incentive to lie. Problem is, those are hard to find, and most studies are done in order for the researchers to get paid so they can pay rent and buy food.

There is far more incentive to conduct shoddy research in psychology (since as a corrolary to being hard to produce good evidence for, it's hard to produce good evidence against, which non-reproducability is often not treated as), than there is to only proceed with the studies you actually have sufficient known-good data to work with.

We have spent billions of dollars on single technology projects in order to answer questions about physics, like the LHC, because without those we often cannot actually get the data needed to answer certain questions.

Nothing equivalent is done in social psychology. There are no massive, multi-use infrastructures being built to engage with it.

While that is not the fault of social scientists, but of the devaluation of their field by the society around them, it still does mean they often do not have the necessary tools to do their jobs correctly.
To be fair, the amount of traffic we are talking about is not really that significant. GMP only allocating one core [1] for these requests and being frustrated that after so long they might have to increase the resource allocation or change something else is a bit unreasonable too.

As a solo dev on a project, I constantly re-evaluate whether the thing I am working on is beneficial to my users or if it's an "imaginary problem" as this post describes. In a large software project you always have a laundry list of things to do from: "fix the date format on this email template" to "implement a better feature flag system". While I'm tempted to always work on the "fun stuff" (the feature flag system), I make myself work on the "boring stuff" (fixing the date format on an email template) because I know that's what users need. Occasionally you get an intersection where the cool fun an interesting problem is also the most pressing one but I found those times are few and far between and most times I have to decide between the "cool fun [imaginary] problem" and "the boring [real] problem".

> If I'm running nginx on Debian I have to worry about Debian and Debian's version of nginx.

This is kind of a funny example to me because it’s one of the reasons I liked containers so much when I first encountered them: Debian’s packages are notoriously old, and anytime I wanted to run a newer version of something I’d wind up with some patchwork of configuration management code and shell scripts. In contrast, a Dockerfile provides a simple and clear way to run whichever version I want without messing with the base system, and even multiple versions of a given package with conflicting dependencies on the same machine without any fuss.

I don't disagree with either you or the author in principle. But I find that the prevailing narrative surrounding dealing with information online covers tooling and not so much "narrative" itself.

It's too easy to just turn someone else's firehose of information into your own firehose of information. When your collecting information with a specific task in mind (eg. work, hobbies) this may not always be the case and the need swings in the direction you and the author are speaking up for. I'm speaking more in respect to current events and news media, or circumstances that aren't immediately defined ("I need to learn this for work.", "I need to find headlights for my Volvo.")

If anything it's the incentive system in software industry, which is at fault.

1. No designer is given promotion for sticking to conventional designs. It's their creative & clever designs that get them attention and career incentives.

2. No engineer is paid extra for keeping the codebase without growing too much. It's re-writes and the effort he puts in to churn out more solutions (than there are problems) that offers him a chance to climb the ladder.

3. No product manager can put "Made the product more stable and usable" in their resume. It's all the new extra features that they thought out, which will earn them reputation.

4. No manager is rewarded for how lean a team they manage and how they get things done with a tiny & flat team. Managers pride themselves with how many people work under them and how tall in the hierarchy they are.

Our industry thrives on producing more solutions than needed. Efforts are rewarded based on conventional measurements, without thinking through- in what directions were the efforts pointed at.

Unless the incentives of everyone involved are aligned with what's actually needed, we'll continue solving imaginary problems, I guess.
> I always find it bizarre how people like this can operate.

They are acting rationally within their belief system of making money.

Enterprise software is exactly that, software used by enterprise -- it doesn't signify any good qualities (far from it) only that it provides a cost-effective software solution to a defined business need.

The issue is when corps get bailed out, overfunded, or have revenue mostly outside of software (e.g. gov't contracts) as it eliminates cost-effective from the equation... so you just end up with buggy messes (code as a cost center).

You'd have to work in the tiny niches where tech is the true product to find good development ...and even then...

According to the archive it was distributed in 1986. The Loma Prieta earthquake was in 1989.

>> And people underestimate how well some solid, dumb solutions can scale.

I think this started with the old Apache web server. When the www got started, that server did the job so everyone used it. The problem was it didn't scale, so all kinds of cool solutions (load balancers and such) were developed and everyone building something bigger than a personal blog used that stuff. For most the root problem was that Apache had terrible performance. Nginx has solved that now, and we also have faster hardware and networks, so anything less than HN can probably be hosted on an rpi on your home network. OK, I'm exaggerating, but only a little. Bottom line is that scaling is still treated like a big fundamental problem for everyone, but it doesn't need to be.

In my opinion, the best approach to telemetry is to ask on first use. Explain clearly what telemetry you are sending and why. If this ever changes on a future update you ask again.
Eh, agree to disagree then. In my view, calling out Reddit as the owner and claiming they’re “bad” is a shallow dismissal. You clearly disagree, but that doesn’t make you right.

And “you calling me out is the real problem” just seems not well thought out. So in your view nobody should disagree with you, most of all when you’re acting poorly? That’s convenient.
> Buybacks give money to shareholders who sell. Dividends give money to shareholders who don't sell. That's a big difference.

This is incorrect. Buybacks appreciate the equity for everyone. The gains are real either way, just one (dividends) is immediately realized and is used to frequently invest in more of the stock.

The net effect is exactly the same. One delivers company capital to shareholders in direct cash, the other delivers it to them in increased ownership stakes.

The rest of your post is based on your misunderstanding that buybacks only help sellers, so I won’t dig into the details unless you’re still convinced of that.

How do you manage boring part though? Going mad because of boredom is a real thing. I definitely agree that some of my job is caused exclusively by my need to keep myself entertained. But what's the solution?

I can think of a few cases. For instance, say you want to make parts of your codebase open-source and self-contained, but others closed-source. It can be easier to carve off the OSS and treat it as if it were a third-party application.

That's not the case here, where the code lives in a monorepo but the services are many.

That’s a good question and I’m not sure but I think so? The unit and RuntimeContext would be sent once to each thread and Rune would take the RC variant everywhere and only upgrade to ARC when they actually need ‘Send (which you don’t use).

When I worked at Wimbledon Tennis Tournament they had a team of lift operators whose job it was to push the button. Definitely seemed like a bullshit job to me at the time.

I don’t know what is going on with this article. The first half is a maybe reasonable description of a common way for certain kinds of contracts to go wrong. But obviously lots of software doesn’t get developed in this sort of arms-length way. I would say that imaginary problems (as the author defines them) cause failed projects by consultants/contractors.

I find the rest of the article to be bizarre. The discussion around retail banking software seems unacceptably incurious and a very likely incorrect diagnosis of the cause of the problems (it basically stoops to an ‘I could do that in a weekend’ level of criticism[1]). It then transitions to a screed about Goldman Sachs which is, as far as I can tell irrelevant (Goldman do very little retail banking; their software development will be quite different to that done for retail banking), and then some description of how the author thinks (all?) large companies are (mis)run. I don’t know if Goldman was meant to be a prototype for this model of company management but it seems like a particularly strange example (in particular, they still will have some remnants from the culture of being a partnership, so they’ll be run somewhat differently from other big investment banks).

I found the second half did not ring true. I’m sure software projects fail at big companies (including retail banks, Goldman Sachs, other investment banks, tech companies, and so on) but I don’t find the reasons given in the article convincing to the extent that I think that section could have been written by someone who had only ever worked at very small companies. But maybe it’s just me and most companies are so obviously terribly wrong in these ways that no one even bothers to write about them and so I only see subtle ways they go wrong like projects dying off due to management acting in bad-faith ways or rewarding people for things that aren’t actually so good for the company or whatever.

If you’re interested in better discourse around certain kinds of bureaucracy, look into moral mazes.

[1] generally ‘I could do that in a weekend’ is code for ‘I could do some minimum thing that doesn’t actually solve whatever the important problems are in a weekend’
