I wanted to reply to another response here but it got deleted. Yes, I think we all (hopefully) understand LLM is not a logic model. But, its answers are so convincing to the point we are fooled into thinking it is a SME, in every thing! At least, I found myself fooled in a few occasions.

Sorry next developer, I'm on a tight deadline, used to love this craft, now I just do what the product people tell me to get a nice paycheck.
Until recently, I'd been using games as an escape from responsibilities and emotions for about three decades, much like my father used alcohol up until his death. I finally "got clean" from videogames and it feels so good, so empowering, to be sloughing off that old skin. Becoming a parent helped me grow up and get out of my head more, and videogames got in the way of that growth. They were a holding pattern, a coping mechanism, and it feels great to finally be back down to earth. I now make more time to read some of the books I see recommended here, to get better sleep (quitting all caffeine helps with that, too), and to spend more attentive time with my child, spouse, friends, and neighbors.

Articles like this are encouraging, too, for the awareness they can raise. Not everyone has a general or specific gambling problem (I'm so turned off by casinos, but I did give Blizzard a significant portion of my income in exchange for chances at dopamine hits before I swore off all their games), but for some it can be a life-consuming challenge, and I want there to be help easily available for anyone who gets mired in that illusion.

That is an unrealistic, idealized model which only works when producers can actually react to price signals. Here in the real world, it takes years and a huge capital investment to set up a new drug manufacturing line which operates reliably and has full regulatory approval. And once running, it has to be kept running continuously near full capacity in order to be profitable. Pharmaceutical companies will only make that investment when long term steady demand is pretty much guaranteed. They aren't going to build up excess backup capacity unless someone specifically pays them to do so.

I would have thought you need to be low margin to care about this, or exhausted all opportunities for growth and cost savings.

And even then it is risky to lose a customer by refusing or not offering credit card options.

If you offer both CC and transfer it’ll be like $9.99/user-month for CC and $9.81 if you pay by transfer so it is not too sexy a saving for the customer.

I like what you are doing but I wonder how you get a foothold on it. The “using CC but hate the fees” niche must be small because they are already using bank payments if they need to. For example an employee or freelancer or company that does large yearly payments.
I am with GP. When using LaTeX I was happy that it was difficult to easily change things. I had a thesis to write and took the solution that would create something good (even if I would not agree) and prevent me from easily choosing fonts for headers etc.

The keyword here is "easily". Of course I could learn the language and go wild. But, hey, I had a thesis to write so I had to make choices: PhD or fancy headers.

In my opinion, good code is like a Brita filter. It does its job, will one day need to be replaced, and it should be easy to replace.

More importantly: metaphors are not a healthy way to understand an idea. Ideas are more nuanced than a metaphor could possibly account for. Abstaining from metaphors might not make for a catchy headline though.

That’s true of every conceivable government. Political office is ultimately a position of power and so those who have it seek to maintain and expand it, but I think we roughly have the right mix of institutions serving the right functional roles, but the powers given to Congress could use a textual update, and a right to privacy more clearly spelled out to account for technological and international diplomacy changes that have occurred since 1789.

> So presumably they are interested in offering consumers the ability to pay for Netflix using FedNow instead of a credit card.

I do wonder how stuff like this will shake out. I will use a credit card, always, with any vendor that doesn't pass along credit card fees to the customer in some way. (Why would I choose otherwise? The credit card gives me rewards, and better fraud protection.)

But more and more, I see companies charging "convenience fees" for credit card usage or offering "discounts" for cash/debit. Hell, T-Mobile just started requiring you not use a credit card to get their $5/mo autopay discount.

So this is all cool (and perhaps would make it easier for people who don't have a credit card to pay for Netflix), but I don't see why I'd use anything but a credit card to pay for my Netflix subscription, unless they offer discounts for using FedNow. Which... they probably won't?
What you are saying is complete nonsense in the case of prescription drugs. It is impossible to restore supply immediately. The reality is that even for generic drugs it usually takes years to get high volume production running with full regulatory approval.

> The US military as a guaranteed purchaser, maybe. The US military as an organization, definitely not.

What do you mean? The military will ask for pretty aggressive improvements in capabilities, then be willing to pay essentially infinity dollars to get what they ask for. That was especially true during the Cold War. For instance, my understanding is the military played a crucial step in productizing semiconductors, because they were willing to buy them at volume when they were far too expensive for nearly every civilian use case. That volume allowed for the R&D to drive prices down and make civilian use practical. If the military hadn't been interested, things would have gotten to a much slower start.
Yep. Yesterday I ran into a job opening asking for "Java developer who delivers 3x faster than the other developers" in one of the bullet points. It's such a weird point to emphasize that you want speed with no concern to trade-offs, and the maintainability and scalability of the codebase will be the first victims sooner or later.

Very late reply. I hope you see it...

Some problems need all que quirks of quantum mechanics, but other can be simplified and you get a simplified equation.

For example the electrons moving inside a very pure and very cold conductor are weird but if you have a normal conductor at room temperature, you can use the usual equation V=I*R to calculate the current. The simplified equation V=I*R is not 100% exact, probably only 99.99999999999% so everyone use it.

The same equation can be used to calculate flux of water inside tubes, when the speed of the water is low. You must replace the voltage V with the pressure P, and other similar replacements. When the speed is high, you get more complicated equations, but in some cases the simplified equation is good enough.

The idea is that in some conditions, both system can be approximated with a simplified equation, in spite under the hood they are very different.
Everything about Oxide's gear sounds like fun. I imagine it must be a bit like what working with minicomputers in 70s thru the 90s was like.

I did a little work in the late 90s with Alpha-based machines. I was impressed at those machines didn't seem like the hack-job crap that PC-based stuff was (with simulated chips from the early 1980's hiding out in dark corners because "compatibility") and still is today. I'm betting working with Sun gear felt similar, though I never got to work with it. Just having an honest-to-God serial console, as opposed to crappy bag-on-the-side things that scrape video memory and pretend to be "legacy" PC input devices, would be an amazing thing.

I'll never be able to work with their stuff because I don't work with Customers at that scale. I'm also vastly unqualified to work for them at their current stage. I suppose maybe someday they'll need field service technicians... I can hope, I guess.
All of the code I wrote more than a year or two before the time I look at it strikes me as being embarrassing. I hope this is always true, because I think it says that I have grown as a programmer over that time.
Yeah, that reminds me of part of how I played capture the flag as a kid, rather than its own game. One could be “caught” (tagged) and jailed if they were on the opposing side looking for the flag and they had to be tagged by a teammate while in jail to escape (still free game until you’re on the friendly side of the line).
I've read SICP cover to cover and completed every exercise, so I recognised that one. I had to look HtDP up.
That is a lot of data for a single page IMO. You already have a TOC, several library sections might be pages unto themselves.

You might also cross link topics into their relevant python docs for deeper references. I know I always need to dig deeper into CSV/argparse for specific things when working with those systems.

Lit doesn't require decorators, and if you do use them they only require a pretty standard TypeScript or Babel compile.

Are decorators the only thing making Lit like Angular? Angular is not the only project that uses decorators, and decorators are standardized in JS now.

Stencil is good, but requires a compiler where Lit doesn't.

What tooling are you looking for? We have template type checkers and eslint plugins. Starter kits. Prettier works for formatting...

FWIW in my experimentations with prompt-engineering and Q/A seeding, asking GPT to self-reflect on conversation/system history more often than not results in a partial-to-complete hallucination.

If this is stable across a variety of attempts and chats can be reproduced via adjusting the `system` prompt via the API accordingly, the results would be far more compelling.

It's more complicated than that.

First, the TFA is about Apple, not the US. The US gov. also attempted to get backdoors from Apple (only to give up and go for the standard security vulnerabilities instead of getting a clean entry point)

Then cloud data stored on Apple servers is still open game, and Apple syncs message on iCloud by default. There's very little incitive for the US gov to burn political will on this issue when it won't matter for 99% of people using the devices. Except the UK gov doesn't get that privilege as the data is on US servers, not UK ones.

Frankly, by far the biggest impact of lobbying happens when one side has anything at all, and the other side doesn't. Most lobbying isn't bribery, as much as it is spending money to get create a situation where the politician will listen to you explain your case. When the politician has heard both sides in such a manner, they'll basically vote with their conscience. When only one side has explained their argument, it's a lot easier for the politician to vote with that one.
I need to install software as quickly as possible. My job isn't to install software, it's to create things with software. The installation time isn't productive.

Little pushback here - metaphors are great tool to understand something, and can convey some meaning more efficiently than other means.

But "the map is not the territory"!
No, but:

> 60% of patients enrolled one year attained an HbA1c below 6.5% without the use of diabetes medications other than metformin.

60% reversal without medication except for the major frontline medication for type 2 diabetes doesn't make it sound like a miracle cure, tbh. And it's still has the "major lifestyle changes that are typically hard for people" problem.
Memory is a process. We do not have fixed objects we could call representations stored in our brains. Someone asks "what did you have for breakfast" and I respond with a word "pancakes" — a process and action occurs and we call it memory, I don't go looking up some representation of "the facts" and wheel it out before them, nor do I produce an actual pancake.

In other words, of course memory is an interpretation, and historical thought is basically a collective form of these kinds of processes.

What's fascinating, and what powers the drama of the article is that even if we know this scientifically and philosophically, we often can't help but act as though our memories were objects, were these concrete things that we have at hand. A person can remember, but no person actually possesses memories (unless you want to talk about the dynamic and constantly changing states of a neuronal system).
That was a much more technically difficult project than an IRS tax filing site will be.

and you keep framing things as if i'm saying all vaccines are terrible, that's insane, i've not said that once. and you also want to argue this laser-focussed agenda on whether ALL vaccines are good or bad, but we're literally MAKING them bad by going after the livelihoods of people who don't want to get it. and there are vaccines, much like other drugs, that have been recalled before. you have every right to be skeptical. otherwise we're not living in a free society.

there's literally people being denied life-saving surgeries because they haven't gotten a covid vaccine. it should be your choice whether you get vaccinated or not. someone in canada needed a kidney transplant, and had multiple brothers as compatible donors willing to give one to him, but he was denied the right to a surgery all over a covid vaccine.

is this what vaccines are supposed to be? something you hang over other people's heads in order to passive aggressively kill them for their beliefs? getting covid and gaining immunity offers all the same herd immunity (better, even) than you would get from a vaccine. there's no moral high-ground for denying someone life-saving surgery anymore and we're still playing this stupid game.

literally 8 years ago i would be arguing every point you're trying to make, but after being in the pharmaceutical industry for longer than that, after watching clinical trials of drugs i've contributed to myself, i know the flaws of this system. i'm not a moron and i'm not a lunatic. there is a lot to be worried about and if RFK wants to raise these issues in the federal political arena, i'm willing to believe it will bring benefit to the flaws i've become familiar with.

I'll break it down even further since apparently I wasn't explicit enough: If you gamble, either you win or you lose. You will most likely lose. If you win however, the casino will promote said win, therefore creating the impression that winning is more likely than it actually is, meaning that you're promoting gambling, which is harming people. If you lose, you generate profits for the casino, who will funnel some of said profits into advertising and lobbying, which will promote gambling, which is harming people.

You can't claim you're not harming people while giving money to people who will use it to cause harm.
Nice UX.

George Hotz said recently that he sees this exact idea as the future of how hw would do things (maybe email him!).

The async nature means a 1 hour auto-gpt style cycle is no issue for a human waiting on it.

However this so depends on how good a job GPT4 with the correct stage hypnotism can do at this task.

I think I like it for doco changes definitely. Just having it take on the PR prep hassle for that is worth it. The human mind is great at verifying that in review.

But code changes: LLMs make great looking code that subtly doesn’t work. I would only trust it if there are extensive tests. But I guess I can use this to make the tests.

I presume it is open source as well as hosted model here?
