I use Langchain for the slack/discord bots I built for my current company.

Langchain is a swiss army knife of tools. And while that can be a good thing, it's mostly a bad thing when you're trying to build something for production. It's also not very flexible... when you're trying to do anything beyond the pre-built stuff, you have to edit the package itself... which means maintaining your own forked version or submitting a PR with your changes. For example, I improved upon the main text splitter Langchain recommends (https://github.com/ShelbyJenkins/langchain/blob/ca14d3028a57...), but I just haven't gotten around to doing everything required for a PR to add the feature (tests, docs, notebooks). So now I have two repos to maintain...

But I also really don't want to take the time to set up a web scraper for a dozen different document sources when Langchain has tools that will work with a minimal amount of tweaking. So, I'm happy to use it for things like that, and happy to recommend it for it's community built pocket-knife tools!
This is such a sweeping generalization with no context whatsoever, that it's really hard to say anything about this.

They're two different methodologies that are most of the time applied to vastly different problems.

I've seen MySQL clients/docs also use "schema" to refer to "this collection of tables", basically what SQLite would call "a database".

The words get really fuzzy here when you try to get a concrete and ubiquitous definition, though.

Best I can do is to say, in these queries:

use foo;
select id, name from foo.people where id < 10;

..."foo" is the schema in MySQL and, apparently, Postgres parlance.
Personally, I’m glad I jumped right into going to a Ayahuasca retreat to kickstart the emotional and spiritual side of things with my own healing journey. Cannabis is no longer appealing, and it actually feels a little numbing, and would prefer occasional mushroom trips to delve in deep.

It helps that the purging and perhaps the MAOI in Ayahuasca seem to have immediate effects after.
That doesn't bypass keyloggers

I never understood this. If you can get away with "pretending to work" then either you have a bullshit job or everyone is in this bullshit rodeo together.

If I work with someone (supervising or not) I know if they are working or slacking off. And no, you don't need made up metrics or to be sitting next to them for that. If you really are in the midst of people that actually get stuff done, I should add.

On somewhat of a tangent, I'm not gonna lie: it sometimes feels like everything is a big farce in tech.

We write code for useless functionalities on mostly useless products. Product managers often don't even understand/use the product and copy competitors blindly. C-suite/founders pretend they know what they're doing but copy whatever is trending at the time (Agile, OKRs, Scrum, squads, etc). Investors give out money to people that yell the right buzzwords loud enough (and/or have the right connections). The list goes on.

The only people that really work are the ones in the lower echelons answering support tickets, keeping things running, actually committing code, etc. Everyone else sits on useless meetings adding "meeting for X" in their reports. Ironically those getting things done are the most scrutinized for "LARPing" by higher ups.

Maybe I've been really unlucky in my career but I've found this to be true in every single job.

I'm taking a year to build an engine that runs on the same process that powers hurricanes. Hurricanes are a heat engine that runs between the heat of the earth's surface and the cold of outer space, using water phase changes to drive air movement. CO2 buildup increases that temperature difference. I figure that an engine that directly runs off of global warming could be somewhat useful.
I think there are two separate issues here.

The first is whether something can be said to be numerate. Is a working calculator numerate? Would an infinite machine with an infinite lookup table be numerate? Are the rules of math learned by modeling language sufficient to be considered numerate or does it require something more?

Whether any LLM is numerate probably depends heavily on the specific criteria an individual uses to define numerate. For some that might include the ability to actually reason mathematically (i.e., to understand mathematical rules and apply them). For others, it might only be to return a reasonable answer.

The second is usefulness for purpose. Whether something is numerate is effectively irrelevant for usefulness. We don't care how a tool gets its math answers if the answers are correct. A working calculator is useful. A broken one probably isn't (but could be, if, say, all the answers it returned were too low by one). But we don't really care whether a calculator is numerate by whatever definition when we're trying to get an answer.

Whether any LLM is useful for calculations probably depends more on how accurate it is and what you are trying to accomplish.
Not to be rude...but the same things as every other ANSI SQL database. Nothing PostgreSQL specific here.

Schema is the thing you get from `CREATE SCHEMA`...a namespace of tables/functions/views/etc.
Sure, but it was too late for my mom. My mom would have been better off finding a different district that would let her in (this may not have been possible), instead of fighting a system that ultimately failed her.
Can you cite any investment in scientific research that isn't goal or product oriented? The best example that comes to mind for me are the theoretical researchers that were on staff at Bell Labs prior to the breakup of AT&T -- but even then, funding basic scientific research was a requirement for AT&T in exchange for their monopoly of the telephone network at the time.

I'm not saying it is what it will happen, I'm saying that some says "this measure is stupid, smart students will get private lessons anyway" and other are saying "this measure is stupid, smart students are forced to not learn".

All I was saying was: if you think that the "private lessons" argument is elitist or unrealistic, then you should disagree with the author of the article.
This was true back in the pets.com day as well. Yahoo itself was fueled by ads bought by startups fueled with venture capital. The goal was to IPO as fast as possible, and that is a game of musical chairs in some sense.
Yes and when you’re using “serverless” services there are actually servers running somewhere. At this point, it’s not insightful for someone to mention either on HN.

It gave huge swaths of the population a grudge against the system, a chip on their shoulder that won't go away anytime soon.

It gave belligerent jackasses as stage upon which to perform. I suspect the grudge was long there, and the chip sat so long on their shoulder prior to the pandemic that it left a stain on many of their shirts. We should not cater to them.

It burned up goodwill and trust for experts and politicians (who generally didn't have much to spare in the first place.)

Again, just an excuse. Throwing the baby out with the bathwater because people that know far more about the subject than you do got a few things wrong, well, that's just being immature and/or supporting a narrative. We should not cater to them, either.

But at least we can agree that closing the schools was a bad idea.

> Stack Overflow remain the site that, when you are looking for an actual answer to a technical question, is worth clicking on at least.

These days I'm skipping Stack Overflow entirely and jumping straight to the docs, unless it's a common question that I can never remember properly (like some esoteric git-fu command).

The answers on SO are outdated or crappy. When you can't ask questions about an evolving framework without it getting marked as duplicate, then the answers quickly lose all value. And the people that were answering because they wanted to give back (not because they want to farm karma) are leaving.

I don't know if that's true. When you get to the point that you can pinpoint your prospective dissidents in their teens it becomes possible to contain any kind of potential source for a future revolution long before it is even visible to the participants. And given enough crimes on the books you could make them go away practically forever when using this sort of pre-crime detector, after all there is always something that will serve to put someone behind bars for a couple of decades in a properly organized dictatorship.

The next bad government to come to power in the developed world may well be the last.
It is generally different roles of people working on design guides like this versus working on documenting an API or other "basic functionality". It's not necessarily a zero sum effort (and probably often is entirely not) to produce design guides and work on other technical requirements at the same time.

Also, design, including and sometimes especially typography, is accessibility and is often worth that sort of attention to detail for exactly that reason, keeping designs accessible to all users. Defining contrasts and visual hierarchy hugely influences how accessible something using a design might be.

One specific example I see is the callout in this particular example for using much less UPPERCASE text moving forward from whatever their previous design language was. This is something I know that I've fought designers I've worked with over as an accessibility problem they've missed. (It's also something that Microsoft went through a huge accidental blow up in very public with early "Metro" designs that they had to apologize for and then walk back in consequent "Fluent" designs.) In general people read word shapes more than individual letters, uppercase forms a lot of very similar looking "rectangles" and even for readers with no other obvious dyslexia uppercase words are the visual equivalent of "speed bumps" in a roadway. They slow reading, sometimes to a crawl, and generally just get in the way, for all readers. (For dyslexic readers I've known they sometimes are even more "walls" than simply "speed bumps" and text entirely in uppercase will completely upset them, if not make the content 100% inaccessible to them and they will nope out entirely.)

That's an important thing about typography that is easy to miss. I've seen so many designs use all uppercase text in places simply because it "looks nice" (those "all words create about the same sort of rectangular shape" that makes a dyslexic viewpoint absolutely hate seeing all uppercase text add a regularity and "cleanliness" to design shapes that some designers find they love; one person's massive accessibility bug is another's aesthetic feature).
Arkenfox can be both heavy-handed (disables search from URL bar, restore tabs from previous session, etc) and hard to digest (1200 lines). By comparison, Betterfox is 250 lines and looks to be more "sane" out of the box.

> I think we present things like calculus as dryly as possible

A lot of this is because the hiring pipeline has dried up. I went to a top hs here in the Bay Area and had teachers who were very knowledgeable and invested in STEM education.

Because of extremely low salaries when factoring in CoL, a replacement pipeline hasn't formed. I had 4-5 of my classmates in HS end up majoring in STEM and minoring in Education at the big 3 UCs, but all of them decided to become Data Analysts or SWEs instead because they would be provided a living wage without having to go get a masters for an additional $30-40k and/or a formal teaching credential for an additonal $12-15k. They were looking at a $150k bill just to earn $70-80k starting AT BEST in Silicon Valley.

So it gets federal dollars too. And things like roads and bridges are also subsidizing transit because buses will use them too.

> It is not clear to me what you are trying to say.

Two things, really.

The first is an economic argument: We've got these machines that are [about to be] able to do anything a human can do (at least in terms of economic activity) and we have to figure out how to live with them, and I posit that they should be made to do the drudgery to free us up to do the good, human things, like teaching kids how to be human.

The second point is epistemological. I don't think the purpose of education is to secure a place in the economic hierarchy ("Go to college to get a good job." however common, is wrong.) The purpose of education is to teach humans to be human, and that can only be done by interaction with other humans. We start out as talking apes, a kind of meat-robot, and we become self-aware beings, or at least we have the opportunity to so become, if we have good teachers around us.

A machine can help you accumulate facts, but it can't educate you (in the sense that I'm talking about.)

(And that's why Bloom is goofy to me: you can't measure "mastery" in any meaningful sense.)

> There are many humans not getting as much as enjoyment out of life as they could because there was not enough human teacher labor to help them.

I'd say that the problem is to supply more "human teacher labor", not replace it with ersatz.

> I, at 51 years old, am making use of GPT-4 as a tutor on topics I do not understand well enough.

I imagine at your age you've acquired the depth of character and education to make good use of its capabilities. Cheers!

> I have zero doubt that computer tutors will help many people flourish.

If the machines turn out to be inexpensive inexhaustible excellent teachers (and dare we hope, psychologists!?) I'll be delighted to be proved wrong. I still think it's preferable to have human tutors, and I'm excited by the possibility of machines relieving people of drudgery to free them up to spend more time with their families, and so on...
Absolutely. The lie is in providing the false framework, or a framework with fakery embedded. If the lie is accepted at the framework level, individuals will believe themselves to be saying the truth, unaware that they have already swallowed the larger falsity.
Author here (and a long time HN lurker), really cool to see someone post this here :). As mentioned at the beginning, the article was created mostly as additional resources for my video about LP (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E72DWgKP_1Y), which I think is definitely worth a watch if you find this interesting!
So is that last one just a simple +/-, or (like a lot of these tests) there are alternative solutions and I've simply got the "wrong" one?
> the reason they're not all getting competitive scores with good shots at college is because advanced math (being intrinsically negative/evil) is ruining it

I ... I don't understand. This is literally the craziest conspiracy theory I've ever heard. Here's the thing: if a shadow cabal of lizard-people were actually using space lasers to mind control everyone into thinking the Earth is round so we never discover their hidden evil lairs at the edges of the flat Earth, or what have you ... if any those wacko theories were actually true, it would actually represent a terrible evil that humanity should fight to overcome. Such a plot might even make a decent movie. But this? Advanced math? What? Math is conspiring against humanity? I cannot even fathom a B-movie plotline where that holds together at all. No suspension of disbelief makes this make any sense. Math!?

Sorry, let me clarify. I'm not trying to argue against vaccines.

I entered the thread at

> getting the vaccine basically led to people not getting symptomatic covid. Folks got what they thought of as a bad cold.

I asked for clarity there because it didn't line up with what I understood to be symptomatic covid (have covid and have any symptoms). It sounded like you were really saying the vaccine led to people in your circle not having severe covid.

I believe it is true that the vaccine reduced instances of severe covid. But my point in this thread is that most people already weren't going to have severe covid (based on ifr rates pre vaccine, though hospitalization data would be more useful here).

In other words, "The rates for vaccinated versus not are a clear indicator that the vaccines helped" is true as I understand it, and not something I'm arguing against. It does not contradict "most cases of covid were not severe, vaccinated or not" though.

Does that make sense?

I've actually encountered situations with the current gen of "curated" LLM's where legitimate good-actor questions (such as questions around sex or less-orthodox relationship styles or wanting a sarcastic character response style, etc.) were basically "nanny-torpedoed", if you know what I mean.
