Any sane business decisionmaker would want legal cover for something like this in case it draws a lawsuit. Regardless of whether they themselves think it's okay, doing it entirely on the sly makes it more likely an opposing lawyer can convince a judge/jury that it's not okay. If they have an agreement that the client "accepted" that strengthens their position quite a lot.

I think a lot of your general practitioners are bound to follow protocol set forth by various medical organizations. So in that sense a lot of diving into research won’t help them. They need to understand and diagnose without having to worry about every little research paper. A lot of research papers aren’t truth - they are peer reviewed opinions.

Once you get to medical research groups that formulate those protocols, that’s where research becomes important.
Congrats on the launch! Unfortunate name clashing with Vite. I'm afraid Google will autocorrect to "Did you mean Vite?" a lot. I wouldn't name something "Rhails" for the same reason. If you change the name maybe you get much better SEO so your cool project has better reach!
This seems like a reasonable position: if you can't test a target, you have to assume you've broken it in the latest change.
> that's no guarantee that the LLM will be able to compress it efficiently

Your LLM here is 600MB which is a grossly inefficient compression of the sort space.

If LLMs "learned algorithms", the best compression would be on the order of bytes.

The python to generate this list is c. 1kb -- and you're using an obscene 600MB to do it!

What do you think all those MBs are doing? They're the extraordinary cost of the "statistical shortcut" of modelling the empirical distribution of sorted numbers.

NNs exploit distributional structure in the training data to compress it --- in this case there's huge amounts of distributional structure in numbers.

I think you've misunderstood the "statistical parrot" claim to be somehow that NNs are engaged in wrote memorization... or, what?

The claim is simply that all they do is statistically approximate the empirical distribution of the training dataset structure --- and if you force interpolation, then they provide arbitrarily precise compressions of that structure.

I'm not sure what a NN which can sort numbers shows, other than the distributional structure of a sort-numbers dataset is such that a NN can compress it into 600MB...

To be clear, the "statistical parrot" claim is that the statistical distribution of the empirical dataset D = (X, y) is being approximated by the weights, W = Compress(D) -- and that this distribution fails to be a representational model of y -- because no entailments of X (other than those in D) are captured.

Whereas representational models are not confined to the distribution of historical cases, ie., I can imagine variations on X leading to any given y; and variations on y leading to any given X -- without ever having experienced either.

You're showing the system vast amounts of numbers being sorted, so it learns the distribution of that data, so it can replay those sorts.

I'm not exactly sure why you think this is a reply to the relevant claims.
Display scaling support

Tabbed interface

Support for command interpreters other than just CMD

Multiple profiles for different interpreters and settings

Support for a much wider range of console control characters and terminal emulations (ssh'ing into linux boxes works really well)

Way better resizing support

Clickable URL detection

More (and customizable) keyboard shortcuts

Support for background images

Support for transparency

Configurations as easy to transfer JSON files

Copying text is a way better experience

Just a few of the features that I use all the time. I can't stand using cmd.exe anymore, its an absolutely miserable experience in comparison.

The messaging around managed fires by indigenous peoples is a smart narrative for California.

You will not persuade hardcore preservationists in California by listing out the economic/quality of life benefits of controlled burns. They (and I am generalizing) have a deep passion for returning nature to its natural state.

The key to changing preservationists minds is not to say "there are many benefits to controlled burns (for humans)" but rather, "the state we are creating in forests without burns is not natural."

They are only "insolvent" if they mark to market rather than holding the treasuries to maturity; which as I said above is true to pretty much every bank out there. This is inherent to banking, if there's a run then there is not enough liquidity.

In all my reading of SVB, I have never once seen an anaylsis that says that a bailout would be necessary. For that matter, neither have I seen an analysis claim that acquisition was necessary. An acquisition would have been far preferable, and causing a bank run was far more irrational than allowing an acquisition to happen.

Tripping on diphen is nothing new. Even twenty five years ago forums were brimming with accounts of "Get high for cheap on benadryl"

In my own experience, I took it one night trying to come down from whatever stimulants were in the E pills we got. I forget the dosage but its was something hefty, but not insane. Within an hour I was getting fully blown hallucinations (like seeing objects in detail that were not there), lots of bugs and flies, and these intense fractal "tears in reality" that would crop up in my vision.

In terms of optimising, I can see it going two ways:

1. Optimising for the consumer means that we will be able to engineer meat to our preferred and individual tastes. Gamey or fatty, dry or falling off the bone etc.

2. Optimising for the producer means that we will get the slurry what was served as a meal in the movie Brazil.

The free-market optimist in me would like to see 1, but the realist in me knows that once corporations monopolise the fake-meat industry and eventually water it down to slurry, we'll get Brazil... and we'll be convinced this is how meat should taste.
> I’m curious how other vegetarians and vegans feel about eating lab-grown meat? My gut reaction to this is “yuck, meat”.

Interesting. I am very much a meat eater, and my gut reaction to this is "yuck, fake meat".

I am totally fine with vegan burger patties and such because it's simply processed plant materials. It's not close enough to meat for its fakeness to bother me. This lab grown flesh strikes a very specific note of revulsion.

If our two reactions are common, it would seem they're in a worst-of-both-worlds situation.

The lightning cable being sealed is amazing. The fact that there’s no cavity to trap dust on the cable is amazing.

There’s still the dust catching port on the iPhone itself but avoiding the cable having a dust cavity is a huge win.
- Cables have a snapping risk in that limited physical space, Bluetooth solves it and there's no risk of EMI 4km underwater anyway.

Cables can easily be made practically 'unsnappable' in this context

Controls could also be mounted directly to a fixed panel, as is the case in most (all?) other submarines

My engineer brain says that moving from 'wired' to 'bluetooth' for a safety-critical connection is pure lunacy. I don't think any objective appraisal could reasonably conclude that this decreased risk or increased safety. Bluetooth is not even close to reliable enough for this application, and neither is any other wireless technology as far as I know
A vote of Nay on the military budget is not directly a vote of Aye on infrastructure spending.

Also jobs are not really transferable. So all the military people need to be less mad at you than the infrastructure people are now happy with you; otherwise you lose at re-election.

Like you need to figure out what the transition is from using military as an employment welfare to construction as an employment welfare and why the US will stick to that transition at each phase. That's a lot of work; much easier as a politician to not rock that boat.

Didn't we just recently run a story here about how these prices aren't real, but are rather an accounting artifact of a whole package of services being billed out pro rata across a bunch of line items? That's also reminiscent of how hospital pricing works: the line-item billing you see is shocking, but bears little relationship to the actual accounts payable process the insurers deal with.
There's no gap in understanding, the only way a 400W laptop can be cool to the touch is if it rapidly dissipates all that thermal energy. That would require one hell of a fan, which is what I said with my hairdrier remark. Even 90W already requires a very noisy fan. A fan moving enough air to keep a 400W laptop cool to the touch isn't realistic to put into the form factor of a laptop, and a fan sufficient to keep even a 180W laptop cool seems extremely dubious to me. It would sound like a vacuum cleaner.

What I was missing is the part where the laptop doesn't consume 180W and a substantial fraction of that power is just passing through the laptop to peripherals.
I'm old enough to remember anonymous ftp to grab the FAQ text file for various games, typically including a walkthroughs (e.g. the kind of thing now aggregated on sites like gamefaqs: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/msx/918088-final-fantasy/faqs/...)

So I grew up with chat rooms/forums/bbses... and am currently an avid Discord user.

Why? Well the needs of some gaming communities have evolved and Discord solves those problems. I'm in various guilds in an MMO and Discord provides EASY screen sharing, EASY voice comms, lets users with privileges run small apps (typically used to allow voting on a topic, e.g. what raid shall we do, or allow simple registration, e.g. for the raid we voted on we need X tanks Y healers Z dps so click and sign up). There are fancier bots that grab in-game info and show it, letting you check on info without logging into the game, and so on.

I don't see any of this being handled well via chat rooms, forums, etc. In fact I would go so far as to be your counter-example of someone that grew up with all the old stuff and now thinks Discord is in fact a massive improvement, and not just superficially.

Meme sharing is also important since these days, the absolutely dominant way to get two kinds of info across to players quickly (good builds for your chosen character, and simple animated gifs to show fight positioning) are images. Lots of players also make build/fight video guides, but that's a longer investment in time over a simple animated gif showing where to stand and where to move. Nobody (rounded for simplification) reads text guides, in fact some info like how the group has to handle a boss fight, would be difficult to write a text guide for. You know the old saying about how a picture is worth a thousand words?

Yes, and there is never, ever time to go back and address the weaknesses of the initial fast and dirty approach. If you prove out a product, it's proved, and any further work addressing tech debt is pure overhead, from the perspective of the business. Like so many problems, the ultimate solution is large scale collapse. We are now open to a super-virus that renders all of our (internet connected) compute worthless, or worse. It's a good opportunity to learn a trade, like carpentry, pottery or (pre-2005) auto repair.

SSO can seem intimidating to someone new to authentication implementations. I think this is in part because it is a bit complicated but also because it is an inherently invisible technology which we dont need think about as users. Sign in with fb/google on the other hand is something we all see in our day to day business and have at least some kind of mental picture of how it works. We've also seen it used as authentication for otherwise poorly implemented services so we might think that "since they managed to use it, how hard can it be?". Hence, a lot of developers and product owners choose those instead of SSO.
They form a grammar of viz techniques. Brilliant, thank you.
ETSI standards, for example, are already freely available. But if they reference and normatively rely on ISO standards, it might mean that the EU will have to somehow arrange for those ISO standards to be made freely available as well.
Thanks for responding. I'm in the Clojure slack already actually.

> If I don't know where the problem is, I'll look at the Java stack trace and start adding `tap>` calls to see the flow of data. Since Clojure programs are data-oriented, inspecting the state that's flowing through the function arguments is usually all that's needed. It's a bit different process, though. Can you elaborate on your issues with the Java stack traces?

This, to me, is the equivalent of placing console.logs everywhere and running the request. Which isn't a terrible thing. Yes, I know Clojure is immutable and I can eval the function in a comment with `tap>`, and run it over and over again without affecting my system. But if I'm just using my site and all of a sudden something happens unexpectedly, I have no idea what function is the problem and what arguments were passed to it. It's often a nil that got passed 5 functions down. I have tried setting it up in a way that I can easily find where the problem is, and I have failed. So in reality, the debugging experience for webapps doesn't feel unlike what it would be for using react and a random backend.

> This doesn't really ring true for me even if a lot of docs are written for emacs. At work people use vim, emacs, VSCode, and IntelliJ. As I alluded to earlier, I think IntelliJ is the one that "just works". If you haven't tried it, I recommend giving it a shot

I'll have to try IDEA. Not pumped about the subscription. My personal experience with Calva, just asking multiple times over multiple weeks for help with a fullstack setup, is that people don't use it and don't care to use it. I got several "I don't use Calva" and "just use emacs" from prominent people in the community.

> Reagent works with React 18, function components, Suspense, React.lazy, hydrateRoot, etc... Honest question: what do you feel like you're missing out on right now by using Reagent?

> Can you share what libraries you're talking about and/or what issues you ran into?

In general, the claim that a library doesn't need to be updated as it wraps around another library is dubious to me. But on my end, Secretary is a very popular client side routing library that was recommended in a lot of places. I wrote a lot of code for it before finding out a key piece of it was broken and nobody seemed to care.

> In my opinion, Biff is the future for server-side apps. It works really well out-of-the-box and the pieces are there to improve it over time. After using om.next and getting burned by it, I haven't had much interest in Fulcro.

I'm interested in Biff, but after trying it a bit, it seemed like I would benefit from it more if I had a grasp on fullstack Clojure development first.

In general, the Clojure slack has been a mixed bag. People are very helpful and nice, but sometimes it seems like I'm asking something simple like "What should I be using for client side routing" and nobody has an answer.
They should be disbarred.

I just can't agree. To my way of thinking there are very few (if any) things that should be "career ending" the first time they happen. And the main guy involved here, as I recall, has a long career with what has been a spotless record until now. I just can't see the justification for ending that career over one fuck-up.

But, again... the punishment does seem lighter than I expected. I was thinking that any fine associated with this should be enough to hurt a bit. Something like $250,000 or something. This amounts to a slap on the wrist.

Just to clarify my position here: I do think this is a major fuck-up. Like, really major. To the extent that I think the punishment should not be "career ending" it's just a reflection of my seeing "career ending" punishments as something of a "nuclear option" that should be avoided in all but the absolute most extreme cases. I guess I would say that if punishments spanned a scale from 1-10 with "10" being "disbarment" then this should probably be about an 8 or 9 in my mind.

I think the flutter (and to some extend QT) path is the future of x-platform GUI framework. Lift the complete GUI framework and rendering outside of the OS and implemement everything in the app as a library.
A lot of the complexity mentioned is just the result of the inability of the big platform (android,ios,windows) to agree on a coherent set of api.
The core reason the web worked so well as a target is that it's a well defined single uniformed API any body can target.

The obvious downside is the lost of "native feel". But i think this has been overblown. Probably a reaction to horrible look for 2000/2010 java/jwt applications. But the web doesn't have a native feel, but still can look great everywhere.

Unusability peak IMO.
It will stutter because if your browser is under heavy load then your async function will run when the browser is free to do so - not at the 1s mark as specified by your transition.

If you instead build the keyframes up front and give them to WAAPI/CSS then you won’t encounter stutters.

This is easily provable by adding some blocking JS into your code. Block the main thread for ten seconds after your first transition and see when that next await triggers. Your animation will run smoothly for 1 second and then the next chunk of your timeline won’t run for another 9.
