> Where where these experts hiding five years ago?

Prompt engineering has been around for a few years already, and there are a lot of existing ML engineers who have been able to quickly learn how to adapt their skills.
I can see a world where "ML Engineer" (or similar) is someone that's hired to solve a known problem (whether it be with classifiers, LLMs, neural nets, etc), whereas a "AI Engineer" (or whatever the title) is hired to figure out how the hell to capitalize on the AI hype, without a specific problem to solve.

IMO right now we're entering the "Peak of Inflated Expectations" in Gartner's hype cycle model. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gartner_hype_cycle#/media/File...

Lots of companies want to jump on the AI bandwagon, but they don't really know what to do or how to leverage it.

What the LLM community needs now is for companies to leverage and productize these LLM models for truly game changing use cases. If that doesn't happen soon, the hype will start to fade and lose momentum ("trough of disillusionment").

I'd really love to see some killer use cases emerge soon.
> Sure, but I know that YOU know that people talk about these items together.

If I know anything, it's that "people" are often simply wrong about stuff. If a bunch of people wrongly thing two different things are the same, that doesn't make it so.

> The general tone of this convo has been that nothing helpful has come from these actions, and that’s not true.

I don't care about the general tone, I was only responding to the statement that A "did" good because different-thing B "did good."

My understanding is this thread is specifically about the student loan forgiveness plan that was just ruled unconstitutional, not some amorphous larger thing (which may be how you personally think about it).
For bigcorps, the ransoms are often 20-30 million USD. One of these is probably paid every few days. TSMC can easily pay 70 and might.
IIUC stick drift essentially means the center dead zone moves away from the physical center. The N64 joystick problem was different and worse: with wear, the center dead zone would expand, to the point that the extreme position values could not actually be achieved. So, instead of walking slowly when you want to stand still, you are unable to run at full speed.

While I agree with the overall outcome of this case on congressional authority and moral hazard grounds, I must say I am quite concerned about the court's logic regarding standing in this specific case.
Sorry, I was thinking of home warranties. You're exactly right on home insurance.

Two very different products, the former being a borderline scam much of the time, the latter being a requirement for financing (and common sense).

Current example for me... house is 50+ year old, with copper pipe for water supply. We're starting to get pin-hole leaks on some pipes. AFAIK, insurance considers this a maintenance item. They'd probably fix a major burst and the damage it causes (after the fact) but have no interest in even subsidizing preventative work to avoid the costly repair.
Those videos and that article will come back to haunt them.
No idea how it'll end up playing out.

The reality I was referring to was the reality of Congress having delegated this authority to the Executive Branch. Read the dissent if you haven't.
So people not realize that the money has to come from somewhere? Colleges got the money and spent a little bit of it on educating students.

If it’s not paid back then regular people need to have their tax money diverted from hopefully useful things to pay for this.

Sure it’s great if every random government agency can spend unlimited money. Well at least until we become the next Venezuela.

ESM was a part of es2015. It's been 8 years that we've had to tangle with both cjs & esm. It's been absolutely awful for everyone.

This crusade is nowhere near zealous nor righteous enough against the infidels & non-believers.

But it also hasn't been effective enough at supporting/supplying the crusade either.

Matteo's statement was that Node hasn't stabilized their loader support so tools have a harm time migrating to esm. Imo it's a pity ecmascript never stabilized a module registry, that esm 1.0 shipped & most people thought it would happen; it's long felt like a bait & switch. But it wasn't a feature browsers needed or really wanted so that unfulfillment was unsurprising. Anyhow, IMO Matteo is making a technical point that it's still hard to finish the move, which is a different spin IMO than a "advocated a moderate approach".

Given the hurt we legitimately experience, I really wish Node and/or WinterCG or someone would prioritize figuring out & implementing whatever needs to go into a module registry/loader. And then beg the big tool chains that need this stuff to expedite their migrations, pretty pretty please.
It's more about preventing business disruption.

If the venue is fenced and charges admission, then yes sneaking in is stealing. Legally speaking.

Wait, you consider ad-blocking to be stealing, and sneaking into a paid concert, for which you could face legal consequences to be not stealing? That seems very weird.

Anyway that analogy is not at all what YouTube is doing though. The valid analogy would be more like there’s a free concert in the park and people accuse you of stealing if you don’t buy their optional T-shirts, or I dunno watch an optional real-estate presentation beforehand or something.
Much as I agree that this was executive overreach, Trump did a ton of executive and legislating from the oval office, and the courts did not keep him in check.

Classic example, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_Order_13771

This should have been ruled unconstitutional, but they let him get away with it and tons of other garbage executive orders.

The courts only care about executive overreach when democrats do it.

I can't tell you your perception is wrong, but I generally don't unload ornate rhetoric like "insidious saboteur" or verbs that relate to strong imagery like "rip out", "bury" when writing about code unless I intend for my tone to be aggressive.

My code works fine and the article isn't doing itself any favors by mocking me (heh) for thinking so.
This isn't conflicting, it's just shit. This has no place in a free society, and I have zero time for any arguments to the contrary. Technology has all the promise in the world to improve and enrich our lives, but instead it's turning our world into a digital panopticon where we're constantly tracked and targeted. I'll bet you any money that this tech is going to be used for advertising as well, if it isn't already.

It's true that they aren't elected directly but they do have to selected and approved by our elected representatives. And can be impeached. So it's a bit disingenuous to describe it in this way (but then the tone of your comment makes it obvious that's what you were going for).
It really does though, because the Supreme Court is the authority who determines whether or not it was authorized, and it was not.
IRCv3 ticks a lot of boxes server-side; you get chat history, user accounts (you can even log with the same nick from multiple clients), replies, and a bunch of other stuff.

Some clients show link/image previews. I think the #1 thing that would make them better would be configuration options to drag&drop/paste images and other files, and have those automatically uploaded to a user-configured service with a link dropped into the channel. Hassle to implement, though.
You’re the one approaching this like it’s some incredibly complex issue, it’s really not. But okay, let’s play your game. Describe the real material harm caused by this forgiveness. Is it inflation? There’s a lot of research saying that’s bogus. Is it an overstretching of powers? Seems pretty minimal compared to existing powers, and it seems like this is right up the executive and DOE alley… what exactly are you upset with in the real tangible sense? What concrete harms are happening that are backed by data and not just a myopic world view? Please, really, enlighten me

Is there any place where I can vote on lions being released at some point? Why break from tradition in the Colosseum?
Yes. This is Congress's fault.

My strong guess is that Biden was reluctant to try this route, and may have figured if it worked, great, if it didn't, people would blame the conservatives on the court.

But I blame Congress. They could have included such relief in their legislation.

> Does anyone have a detailed understanding of why CommonJS (and its async incarnation, AMD) were not adopted by browsers?

I only started my career in ernest in 2012, but even then compatibility with old versions of IE was a major point, due to their high market share.

IE6 was officially retired in 2014, but even then it still accounted for 4.2% of the traffic:

https://www.computerworld.com/article/2488448/ie6--retired-b...

Then there were IE8-11, but it was IE6 which lingered way past its welcome, considering it was originally released in 2001.
Prison is never an ideal plan; it's the least-bad option.

A. What are you going to do? Let them shoplift whenever they like?

B. Assuming that's not an option, what's your second plan? Give them free counseling and rehabilitation at very high cost (a 30-day drug rehab costs $14,000 - $27,000; and what kind of rehab prevents shoplifting?), even though the recidivism rate for property crimes (like shoplifting) is 78.3%? Let them out on the street after wagging your finger, "please don't do that," only for them to do it again next week?

C. Assuming that's not an option... what option is there left but imprisonment of lengthier and lengthier sentences until the crime rate falls to reasonable levels?

Also, remember that shoplifting is not free. Stores raise prices to cover shoplifting losses, making shoplifting a theft against the community as a whole and not just the store. Stores also close when shoplifting gets too extreme, robbing the whole community of the store's services.

My position is strong law enforcement with stiff penalties; with strong external community programs to help people avoid feeling the need to shoplift, simultaneously. Not one or the other at the expense of the other.
> I'm sure the big three credit bureaux are developing precisely this product.

Probably. Again I'm super libertarian but the 3 credit bureaus in the US need a corporate death penalty.

> they could adjust their prices on a per customer basis to cover their expected risk

I'm not sure that works because the risk here is someone just refusing to pay the displayed price at all, regardless of what it is.

If anything, stores would use this kind of technology to do stratified pricing depending on what they think you can afford and are willing to pay. More affluent people would be charged more for the exact same box of crackers.
> I think it is fairly safe to say that rehabilitation and counciling programs to stop shoplifting would be far more expensive and ineffective than imprisonment;

I don't see how. The cost of housing a prisoner in the US varies wildly by state, but the average is $40k/yr.

> A "relatively small loss" is quite large by the tenth time it happens because nobody got punished

Again, those 10 events probably amount to an order of magnitude less than the $40k it would cost to house the prisoner.

I'd much rather prison be reserved for violent offenders who are judged unsafe to keep anywhere else.

Yeah, this is where a system like this shines. In that you can build a tool, like top, but for the stock market. You have all the real-time data. So, you can look at where the party is happening at. Just by looking at the trade flows. This is where building your own system absolutely kills anything else.
Has anyone quantified how much extra radiation construction workers will actually absorb from this? If it's something like a CT scan's worth per day I'd be really worried, but if it's something like an X-ray's worth per year I wouldn't be.
> And it is a danger to a democratic order.

Quite the reverse. Congress needs to vote on a spending bill that large. Biden is President, not King, and Congress cannot make him King.

If you hire a plumber to fix your toilet, and said "bill me whatever for it", and the plumber charges you a million bucks, I bet that wouldn't hold up in court, either. IANAL, but laws never lay things down precisely (it's impossible), and the entire purpose of the Judiciary is to provide reasonable interpretations of it.

“That may have been a good idea, or it may have been a bad idea. Either way, it was what Congress said” writes Justice Kagan, in dissent to this principle.
Oh God, this is going to be like DevOps all over again isn't it? Where there's people constantly gluing together things from different companies.

I foresee layers and layers of abstraction dependent not on technology spec but on some company's poorly maintained docs and apis that you get by calling some service rep.
Not what Kagen was saying.

The court is only supposed to decide things when someone has been injured. Who was injured in this case?

The issue here is one of standing. The litigant had no standing, this case shouldn't have been heard by the supreme court. Or the hearing should have literally been "you have no standing".

Now, if congress feels like Joe Biden stepped out of line, THEY could have sued him. That would have been the proper course of action.

Here, the court has issued an advisory opinion, which is not it's role nor power. The court is out of line here.

Congress directed the DoE to issue the loans. Do not try to usurp Congress's authority.
Major questions doctrine is pretty stupid too given it feels like they invented it purely to get out of situations where textualism goes in the opposite direction that they want to rule.
Congress never directly authorized the president to forgive student loans. Biden was claiming that he had the power indirectly because of a law that says he can "modify" loans in times of "emergency" (this was used to pause repayment in 2020). But SCOTUS has ruled that fully forgiving them too far beyond merely "modifying". There is a principle called the "major questions doctrine" that any major action must be very explicitly authorized by Congress (i.e. Congress doesn't grant huge powers without saying so).

Germany. We got our constitution from you (assuming you’re in the U.S.).

The legal system is terrible, of course. But the state at least pretends to be bound by a constitution, and provides courts and procedures, e.g. for hearings.

Companies like Stripe will ban you based on a bot’s decision. No human will ever hear as much as your voice in the process.

And if you did sue them, they’d say “We’re private enterprise, we can choose who we do business with”.
I don't keep a list of books that I read for exactly this reason. But the drawback is that I have a few nordic detective stories on my bookshelf and I don't remember which of them I read already.
While I agree on your last point, it should be noted that at least in the US for criminal matters you must have a court appointed lawyer if you prove to be unable to pay for one out-of-pocket. For civil cases however, you’re out of luck.

Additionally, plea deals are also taken because they’re a “known”. You can quantify the result, and you can’t in a court case. Not to mention most people really don’t want to deal with the stress and find probation + fine + misdemeanor a worthwhile cost.
Yes. Consider the case of Sandra A. Sellers, who was cancelled and fired after remarking that black students consistently end up at the bottom of her class: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/11/us/georgetown-university-...

It's a real problem, and you can see why nobody is addressing it honestly when these are the consequences of doing so.

> And does a phrase like "the bottom of the class" mean all that much when you're talking Harvard students?

Yes, very much so. It's no secret that we're starting to see a bi-modal distribution of outcomes for top school students. Contrary to the myth, graduating Harvard isn't (at least, no longer) a ticket to an exceptional career. Plenty of graduates proceed to have a normal (or worse) career that isn't better from what a graduate of a lower-tier school would achieve.

In tech, that means that while some top school grads end up in high-flying unicorns and desirable FAANG positions, others end up in sleepers like Oracle.
By "appraise," did you mean "reward"?
I'm not sure I agree with their reasoning. There are a lot of generalist backend/infra engineers who are working in the AI space. What is the special skillset that distinguishes them from all others? If you say that they are "AI engineers" because they are working on AI as a product, then should we also have "advertising engineers", "billing engineers", "API engineers"?

The reality is that tons of people just build a trivial app calling an OpenAI API and put "AI engineer" on their resume to capitalize on the hype.

Just because the South didn't reap the benefits of it's massive free labor pool, doesn't mean that those benefits didn't exist. Both the North (and even England!) benefitted from slavery even if they didn't directly own the slaves.

The abolition of slavery was economically good - if not for the fact you freed up a massive labor pool out of what was essentially farming into working in factories. But that initial suppression, combined with with the continued discrimination that led to plenty of African Americans (and Natives, and arguably the earliest asian settlers) to be regularly robbed of whatever the could build contributes directly to the reason that we are still circling around the reparations concept today.

Even if you don't believe slavery was "that bad", the effects of slavery prevented the entire demographic from building wealth; and a lot of was stolen in a government sanctioned manned, e.g. the Tulsa bombings in 1921, 50 years after the abolition of slavery.

It was not "necessary" to forgive the loans.
