> disliking Shakespeare because his writing is archaic

But... his writing is archaic. Not just quaintly archaic, like a novel from the 1800s, but literally requiring translation archaic.

Worse still, the vast, vast majority of people "teaching" Shakespeare pronounce it wrong, which means most of the humour is lost: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YiblRSqhL04

The jokes don't work any more!

The rhymes sound wrong!

The whole thing is a farce. Theatre. We all pretend it is great English, whe in fact it isn't even English any more.

It's taught because our teachers were taught it. Those teachers... and on.

It's like the idiots still formatting cloud SSD virtual disks as-if they are physical RAID controllers with spinning rust.

It's like the Hungarian notation identifier style people copied from the NT kernel code, even though the NT kernel people realised it was a mistake and moved on.

The Linux kernel code would be crazy bad if it wasn't for tens of thousands of people beating on it until it has become merely mediocre.

It will never be perfect, it'll never even be "good" code. It has too much inertia, too much history for that to ever happen.
I think it is totally reasonable to describe the model as "thinking". Unless you have discovered exactly how the brain works and exactly what "thinking" is (in a precise scientific way). In which case please enlighten us!
And "cleaning up the bibliography" as well...
I feel the same way.

Do you think its related to scale? As in, once a company has enough paying customers to become profitable/investable, it has also accrued enough issues to where it starts feeling fresh and exciting like you said, and gradually becomes like the older competitor it once wanted to replace?

This is my experience at least. Once the company goes from a few pizzas to "we've booked a venue", entropy creeps in and adages like Conway's/Brook's law become increasingly evident.
While all true, I think variables with infinite variance are hard to come by. For a start, almost everything in the real world is kind of bounded (markets can't go below zero and also can't jump by more than a certain amount per day either, laws of physics determine min and max weight of people etc).

But it's true that CLT requires some form of IID distribution, or something slightly weaker, and that often doesn't apply.
That Zeit article has her saying the 2014 Minsk Agreement was an attempt to buy Ukraine time. This is not precisely the same as her saying it was a complete sham; the agreement was a ceasefire and ceasefires are generally understood to provide both sides with an opportunity to lick their wounds; ceasefires aren't peace treaties, they're only temporary stoppages of wars. For Merkle to say the ceasefire was buying Ukraine time isn't a contradiction.

Still, you dug up the relevant article so, vouched.
Sure. I mean not sure if AI has an incentive per se. It was selected to have this natural determination :)

I would not be too vary of free games provided. I think that is so common already that it should not affect perspective between products.

On other hand any sort of other monetary compensation or personal connections or involvement should be much more scrutinized and public.

I think we should even start to implement system where the compensation paid for sponsorship spot and so on should be presented with the add.
Simple, Hetzner mainly operates on Germany, the people are mostly Germans, and they automate the stuff to a point a small team could manage it well even if not remotely, so they have less cost on human resources.

"The bar for new discoveries is simply higher than the past."

Likely, but there is this point of reconfirming findings. There are so many bogus papers - if at least some of them can be exposed by "amateurs", that would be a real win.
Well it's not going to melt the plastic being evenly cold after 30 seconds.
what's up with the status page?
Exactly. If a technology is used against its users the problem isn't that technology.
Any device that is closed source and connected will be used to spy on their users, from simple business driven profiling to more shady things, but it's certain that it will do other things than those advertised. Consumers should learn to ask for privacy as a default and be a lot more selective in what they surrender their data to. So far, it seems a lost battle to me.
Unfortunately, as the author alludes to later on in the article, 'encryption at rest' is usually required by compliance standards, e.g., PCI-DSS, SOC2, etc. Just about every environment I've seen either turns on etcd encryption as a box-ticking exercise or simply forbids Kubernetes secrets.
> There's still some real science out there if you want it. :)

I don't think this is a correct way of representing things.

Science is a process, and it does not depend on finding out something someone never saw before or bothered to look at it.

Scientific discovery is also not necessarily tied to the science. Someone can literally stumble upon a fossil and proceed to make it known to the public, but that won't make that person a scientist.

What you actually described is that scientific discoveries can still be made by amateur scientists, and that science is not an exclusive domain of academia and professional researchers.

That doesn't say much of interest though. In humanity's time scale, science has always been the domain of hobbyists. One of humanity's most recent breakthrough has basically born from amateur social clubs where people got together to show the things they hacked together.

Of course professional scientists with lab budgets have more freedom.
One can figure out 'how' and 'what' from the code, given enough time. The most valuable thing in code is the brain of the Past Person who wrote it, looming over your shoulder, telling you 'why' in very explicit terms.

That 'why' also helps to show that Past You knew wtf you were doing, and lets Present You feel confident in making changes, because you know what the intent was.

"I'll remember this!" is one of the greatest lies in CS.
> "The Copenhagen Interpretation", ultimately 'won.'

The debates are ongoing and "Copenhagen" (which really isn't a unified and coherent view anyway) is currently losing (among physicists, it will take long to take over in more established areas such as school education or media).
Usually, yes, but this font tries to reproduce the imperfections of text printed centuries ago (or, to quote the article, "look badass with its kinks and nicks"), so having two glyphs of the same type look exactly identical feels a bit jarring. Same as with other "rough" fonts which try to emulate stencils, handwriting etc. All of these would benefit from some randomness...
As with anything output by “AI”: you don’t.

I think we need more studies into how plastic is useful in the body. Seriously though, how many do we have? It's a hidden bias. We were so convinced cigarettes are good for sore throat and anxiety, that we forgot to test for harm, for decades. Maybe plastic is the other way around.
I can't tell if this is satire. There isn't anything insulting about saying a country is insignificant (my home country definitely is).
Same, been enjoying Hetzner's great value for 10 years, and now Hetzner Cloud for 2 years.
I am very skeptical about the concept of aphantasia. For one, I think that visual phantasy can be trained, or at least developed. Also, it is near impossible to report objectively about your inner processes in a useful way.

As an example, many people believed for some time that dreams were in black and white, which is obviously not true for everyone. However, this does not imply that dreams are in color. It seems more likely that dreams and their visual response are separate processes.

It may well be that some people actually have some form of aphantasia, but all the self reporting of amazing visual powers or the lack thereof seems more indicative of peoples' egos than the actual differences in what they are capable of.

Happy to learn that I am wrong here!
> , but it just seems a narrow interpretation. And there's a wider view, that's a very useful one, that I think you've missed too.

This is why I didn’t elaborate in a follow-up reply. I knew I was going to get a reiteration of the first reply (“wider view”, who the hell knows what that means).

Here the even bigger red flag is that Fly doesn't have a (automated?) way to quickly move workload from a faulty server to a good server. Especially when containers (and orchestrators) have abstracted away the concept of data volumes which can be attached and detached. (Yes, it needs a lot of serious technical investment to provide this and I think it's one of the reasons storage is expensive on the big 3 clouds.) If you are offering data persistence services then you absolutely need this capability.

I think there is an expectation mismatch between what Fly wants to offer and what the market wants from it. Fly wanted to innovate on offering the ability to the devs to be able run their apps from multiple data centers. But without a proper data persistence service, the ability to run apps from multiple data centers is not useful to a vast majority of people.

I think Fly is trying to solve the persistence issue with their SQLite replication, but that means the vast majority of the devs will have to change the way they develop applications to suit Fly platform.

I think Fly needs to choose between what it wants to become. A reliable and affordable Heroku replacement, which is a decent sized market or offer an opinionated way of developing apps which offer best performance to users all around the world.

But opinionated ways of doing things is a double edged sword. (Rails and Spring Boot are highly successful because of their opinionated defaults.) App Engine is an interesting case study in the app hosting domain. It was way ahead of the time and prescribed you a way of developing apps which allowed the apps to scale to very high traffic. But people didn't want to change the way they develop to adapt to it.

I use cc for literally everything but car payment and mortgage and pay off every month. The only time I pull out my debit card is to get cash out. I feel peace of mind that nothing is going to drain my bank account fraudulently, I have one bill per month to look at, and I end up with 1-2 vacations (hotel and flight) for my family each year. Seems like a pretty good deal to me.

I'm one of the most skeptical people when it comes to these types of claims. I think the effects are being exaggerated. However, I've recently begun to replace all plastic containers and dishware from my kitchen with stainless steel and glass. Drinks taste better in glass anyways, and steel is a good non-fragile alternative. And I cook in cast iron. It's almost impossible to avoid plastic, and I'm not religious about it, but I figure I'm replacing fragile disposable junk with more robust alternatives anyways.
From the accounts I've read of other scientists in the Manhattan Project, Oppenheimer had a connector style of personality that made him very well-suited to the role. For this type of job you don't want an Einstein who is prone to thinking deeply on one problem for weeks at a time. Oppenheimer seemed to be the one person who understand broadly what everyone was doing.
Just noticed this too. I wonder what the reasoning for that is - ie., is this related to specific jurisdiction laws, or just a geo-rollout to manage volume?

I closed my Amazon retail account recently because their automated customer service screwed up a warranty claim. The humans I finally talked to were useless. I realised at that point I was an inconvenience past making the initial sale.

Why would I risk anything like a smart home on that level of service, support and customer care?

AWS are only marginally better, despite being a high rolling enterprise customer.
I think if you work for 25 years in construction you are bound to wreck your body regardless of what you do. It's hard to not wreck your body in that span of time even if you only do yoga and meditate for that long.
The hierarchy of physical looks seems inexorably tied to the human social order. It seems that there is a separate world that opens up when you meet a certain threshold of physical attractiveness.

I get the impression that complaining about ones physical appearance is more accepted in women than men. I can imagine a man writing the OP piece would be labeled a few topical terms for his entitlement and toxic envy.

It's become impossible for me to ignore how often social hierarchies order themselves to a significant degree on the basis of physical appearance. I would implore anyone to consider physical fitness, fashion, skin, hair care and even cosmetic surgery if they inexplicably fail in social or romantic endeavors while bearing no other obvious faults. It is rarely spoken how much our sense of self and what we allow ourselves to achieve is a reflection of everyone's biases towards our appearance.
I don't believe they have any GPU option in this initial rack. In one of the podcasts they said something about none of the GPU vendors being open enough to allow the kind of deep integration they're going for. It might change in future of course.
“No Einstein” is often used as a put-down so it sounds insulting, but here I think it’s literally comparing his achievements to Einstein? Coming off second-best in that contest isn’t as much of a dishonor as it sounds.

I think millions of years of natural selection are a better advisor than a stranger on the internet, or teachings of the status quo.

We have the innate capacity to love and hate, to feel attracted or repulsed etc.

If the capacity to be bitter has survived millions of years of natural selection, perhaps it serves a function, however hard we tell each other to look down on it.
This is the correct answer.

This is a real, normal thing?? I can hear snippets of music, usually orchestral or opera, as vividly as if they were actually playing, but all I'm listening to is the white noise of a fan, and I'm just remembering them from before. When I was young, it was often a radio announcer because we listened to the radio in the car a lot. I always thought this was very bizarre and was not supposed to happen to normal people.

You think that gay marriage is a good thing, but many people do not.

The two scenarios are precisely symmetrical. The only difference is that the cause on one side is one that you agree with, and on the other side is one that you disagree with.

You cannot decide moral questions by couching them in terms of “rights” and assuming that whichever side “advances rights” must be the correct side. Why? Because you can do that arbitrarily either way and for anything. e.g. “admitting gay marriage denies people the right to live in a society where traditional marriage is protected”.

Now what do you do? Both sides can say their cause is “advancing rights”.
I was already writing a comment about procedural generation before I saw yours. I was thinking about placing shapes on the boundary of a basic character shape, and placing random points within those shapes which then have lines/splines drawn between them. You could change the size of the shape depending on how much you want the shape to vary. That way you can still exercise control over what specific features are preserved. I'm sure someone can come up with something better.
Went through your list. I didn’t get the sense of deep belief in communism nor antiamericanism. There seemed to be other incentives. Is there a good example?

For me it was absolutely Fermi. And Feynman and Teller. But Oppenheimer definitely up there.

Oh also Leo fucking Szilard! From wikipedia ...

I know many people with 30+ years in construction that are physically fine (I'm ~ 60 ATM).

A good technique and steady approach goes a long way and there are many jobs in construction that don't break the body - crane operator, bobcat | front end loader | etc. operator.

Push up slab building have been around for decades now, if you can avoid being squashed under a giant mass of concrete (not that common) you're not going to be putting your back out (unless you're running at jobs like a bull at a gate).
This.

That was my journey as a self-taught programmer who at one point realized had to learn the timeless foundations.

And then MIT's 6.005 [1], where you will apply all this with a realistic language (Java, although the concepts carry to any language), and learn how to design, code and test programs that "have no bugs, are easy to understand and ready for change".

And also learn a bit about algorithms, I don't think that one can design and understand properly without. And what is O(2^n) today will still be that in 100 years. MIT's 6.006 is amazing, both professor and TA [2].

I've seen Knuth's TAOCP recommended around here. Don't even consider that, do a course like 6.006 first, the Everest shouldn't be the first mountain you climb. Likewise favour HtDP over SICP at first, I've been there.

If after all this you are still interested in LLMs, I recommend EdX's "Large Language Models: Application through Production" [3]

I used to be in the same boat with the lights, but then I bought some cheap-o local brand of smart lights I could automate and control remotely and it was simply amazing.

I have since upgraded to Philips Hues since there was some connectivity issues (plus no Apple Home support) with the cheap-o ones.

I am real tempted with smart lock since I dismissed it as useless as well, but I simply don't trust that it will be secure.

As for thermostat, I live in a old building so I have no central AC/Heating, but if I had you bet I would have it remotely controlled. I am running one of those "tube out the window" style ACs and I have that hooked to Hue socket and it is pretty fucking lit.
For big vendors, no. Because what oxide does is basically sell the kind of server that the hyperscalers have been building for themselves internally. But for smaller cloud provider, who aren't running custom hardware made for hyperscale and are instead using of the shelf servers with all their flaws, then it could make a lot of sense.
