You say you are a PM - have you done both greenfield (aka "primary software construction") and looking at how to deploy/tune a canned application (like Salesforce)? I think they are materially different skills. How deep are your personal tech skills? I tend to see the very best PM's become CEO's pretty rapidly, so that is one path.

For me the most impact came from "rushing to the unglamourous stuff." Documentation, testing, build and deployment pipelines, security and compliance (which are not the same thing), and then building bridges to other functions, which helped me be the 'voice of the customer,' over and over again.

As an IC, I've been a coder (initally perl, later c++, then python), network engineer (cisco bgp/load balancers - pre cloud era), data center manager, biz apps steward (jira, confluence, sfdc, hris), database admin. As a manager I've managed dev teams, SRE teams, data science teams, and product teams. Getting involved in sales engineering and direct customer support also helped a lot.

They talk about "T" shaped people, but if you can have depth in multiple areas and have a framework for understanding black box (ie $largeVendor [ie Oracle] is used for $UnchangeableMissionCritical application - how are you going to work with it?) stuff, then you can level up from a "mere" PM to an "Agent of Organization Wide Change"

They word there are "some
workloads", I suspect that performance hit is rare.
And just looking at it from a strategic point of view, those are the chips you want. Your industry runs on them, the vast majority of your industrie's products runs on it. Even more important: your military runs on those chips.
We are not going to prove or disprove "reasoning" through giving the LLM word problems. LLMs subvert the entire foundation of word problems, which is that words correlate to internal representations and are an indicator of thought processes. Word problems don't have construct validity for testing reasoning in LLMs.

On top of this, there is an almost-certainty that OpenAI has teams of contractors reading as many conversations as possible and hand-fixing bad responses, which makes non-reproducibility a difficult concept when the object of inquiry can change from moment-to-moment.

What the field needs is not more people thinking up word problems but rigorous analysis of the internal behavior of these models and maybe more importantly a functional definition of terms like "reasoning" that everyone can agree on.
Making it harder and more expensive to fly by private jet is hardly "removing all incentives to be successful".
Self-hosted in 5min – Peer-to-peer private network with User Management and SSO
Hey folks,
You've probably heard of NetBird - an open source and fully self-hosted peer-to-peer private network based on WireGuard. It features full mesh capabilities, SSO, user management, DNS and access controls.

We've developed a one liner script that provisions the whole setup including an IDP integration in just a few minutes.

We use Zitadel IDP for SSO and user management. It is self-hosted and open source too :)

Check it out!
Thanks! And yes, here are a few articles if you're interested:

If you don't think you have insomnia (you fall asleep fast and you stay asleep long enough), then you probably don't have chronic insomnia, which is what our app is designed for. That said, if you find yourself feeling groggy or not refreshed despite getting sufficient sleep, I would recommend that you talk to your physician. You might still find our app helpful (so give it a try and cancel if it doesn't work - we also have a 30-day moneyback guarantee), but just want to point out that our target audience is people with chronic insomnia.
I see the "are you human" on there with a click, but no looping, it goes straight to the website
That quotation is funny, because the forums I know where people argue about bands (or classical or jazz composers or performers) are largely kept active by users who are already in their late 30s or 40s and up. Passionately arguing about band minutiae requires typing longform text, but younger generations are mainly using their phones where they don't write much longform text, or even don't visit third-party forum websites at all.
While I tend to agree, let's temper this a bit.

We're not all condemned to FIPS ciphers everywhere because banks are, and so on.

I'm hopeful there's some option to it, like how you don't need 2FA often until doing something like changing the password
I hate silent takeovers so much. Chrome developer extensions are another very popular thing for bad actors to buy out and replace with malware, and it sucks.
It's not far worse. My display at home has 60% of the Li ear resolution of the AVP, the experience is terrible for productivity. I've tried displays that come very close at 80%, and it's still unusable for me. If the screens are reasonably size so that I don't have to move my neck all the time or suffer optical aberrations, like my real life screens, I get an effective resolution of ~720p.

We can see that this will be similar : the AVP has ~35 pixels per degree, my screens are about 45 degrees, so I can expect 1575 pixels across and 885 vertically, so just a tad better than 720p. In practice you'll lose significant resolution to optical aberrations unless your neck makes it point right there.

Who is using 24inch 720p displays in 2023? You can get at least a 1080p for like 20$ on classifieds and 100$ new.

This is sitting as close to the display as you ever should, btw. A 24inch screen will be 45 degrees wide if you're sitting less than 1 meter (36in) away from it.
> I think there's an ideological bias in our culture that pushes people to believe that intelligent or structured phenomenon inevitably emerge organically and progressively from complex phenomena.

All science points to this being the case, for us. I think the only ones opposed are those that believe in young earth creationism, and only some portion of those that believe in old earth creationism.
I've worked plenty of food service in my life. You're making the mistake of overrepresenting the worst behavior. All of those things are out of line in American society.

Hush, this is a new movement, a rejection of old bloated protocols like Gemini and HTTP!

Also RFC 865 limits the QOTD response to 512 octets which isn't nearly enough.
As others have noted, banks are governed by (often multiple) regulators, at the local, state/regional, and national levels typically.

As Brian Krebs has noted, on top of the already-oligopic banking sector is an even more ologopic banking-computer-services sector: "What Is Your Bank’s Security Banking On?" (2018).[1] Sadly, the industry is dominated by a small handful of banking platform providers. Four, Fiserv, Jack Henry, FIS, and CSI, serv over 80% of the market. Bank regulators, responding to Krebs, said that "small to mid-sized banks are massively beholden to their platform providers, and many banks simply accept the defaults instead of pushing for stronger alternatives."

This does also suggest that there may be a small number of points of control over which to enact useful change, though of course there's also a concentrated lobbying interest in avoiding or counterinfluencing same.

Or, if you use a desktop, build your own custom keyboard such that there is no hardware benchmark to work off of. Or use a keyboard which has a different key arrangement that alters the timing and press force of keystrokes, such as Dvorak.

Even better if you have a buckling spring or beamspring keyboard, where each individual key can produce a distinctly different sound profile depending on how they are pressed.

Plus, password managers provide a keyboard-free manner of inputting passwords. Why we don’t have 100% usage of high-quality password managers like 1Password or BitWarden is beyond me… it truly is worlds easier than trying to remember passwords, and infinitely more secure if you use thoroughly random passwords that are at least 32 characters (or whatever the max is for the service you are logging into).

Nothing comes even close to bulletproof, but a lot can make things quite difficult at the far end.
It's not a matter of valuing dating above all else. It's a matter of realizing that your students are going to live at your school for 4 years and have limited opportunities to socialize off campus, and that if campus can not provide a somewhat normal social life academic performance will suffer.
as human nature is more understood, human nature adapts to better exploit^Wcater to human nature
If I'm reading this right, the caveat is that the exploit only lets you read registers that have been saved for context-switching.

So, in order to extract data, that data must be in constant active use (i.e. loaded in a register) at the time of the attack.
I used to work in the industry. My understanding is that the vast majority of private jets (not including general aviation) is owned by or managed by firms that charter out their jet. (Like a taxi business). Of course there's nuance between those business models.
Open sourcing OpenAI’s function calling
> In my view, all of us in the AI research community should adopt the 21 types of reasoning problems proposed by Arkoudas, and make them part of the standard test suite for measuring LLM performance. We ought to use tests that are hard to pass. I suggest we call the proposed problems the Arkoudas Reasoning Test.

this is overly obsequious. many of the categories are covered by MMLU, BigBench, HellaSwag, et al, all of which the author does not acknowledge.
I work for a 100% remote company.

We have lived in GoToMeeting sessions -- internally and with customers -- since inception, but we never, ever, ever turn on video. We use the meeting to share screens for joint testing, or investigation, or discussion of feature planning, or whatever. Video was never appealing; it'd just be a drag on the performance of the rest of the meeting.

When COVID happened, some of our customers went all-in on Zoom and camera-on conferences, and couple of especially entitled ones suggested "we like it when cameras are on!", like they could passive-aggressive us into complying.

Nah. Furthermore, for lots of work-at-home people, turning on video just CLOBBERS their whole connection because they're on like 10mb down/3 up or whatever.
TIL about HSA/FAS. Like what the sibling comment said, it's not a thing in my place. Thanks anyway, I'll check out the trial first.
Common Lisp has been standardized for longer than Java's life.

Also in the lisp world, Clojure has a fastidious dedication to backward compatibility.

Perl 5 has maintained backward compatibility (though I am not certain if it is 100% compatible) by putting changes behind flags.
C# only did this on `foreach` loops, not on traditional `for` loops. Go plans to do this on both (`for-range` loops and traditional `for` loops).

I think that's not a concern for the use case. But, maybe?
When the Web first came online in the early 90s the only web sites I remember were "How to write HTML."

It took me about a year of having a browser installed before I started using the Web.
If next-day delivery requires unfair working conditions, then yes we should drop it. However, it's a false dichotomy to pretend as if the alternative to "next day" is "three weeks."
Well... Your father-in-law and his colleagues learned a lot from that mess, so the chances of this one working better are a lot better.

Besides, we have better CAD, better physics simulation tools, and so on. Have faith.

Also, cleaning up is easier - just point it to the sun ;-)

Just want to say: amazing write up. I hope to write like this some day.
Cloudflare's Privacy Pass may help here: https://privacypass.github.io/

It should significantly reduce the amount of CAPTCHAs you see in a way that's not terrible for privacy.

For Safari, you can enable Private Access Tokens: https://blog.cloudflare.com/how-to-enable-private-access-tok...

Both of these mechanisms are similar to Google's web DRM proposal in that they rely on external issuers to generate tokens, but unlike Google's attempt they don't guarantee that ad blockers are disabled on pages that try to use tokens.
I'm trying to understand what this does and how it works. Can you provide more examples with different use cases? How does this work with / compare to LangChain?
I hate the jobs argument. It's like saying, "we should keep the concentration camps open, what are all the guards going to do". Any antisocial/harmful activity will employ people to do it, that doesn't mean we should condone it.

Even more -- our civilization has a certain amount of productive capacity. I'm not saying we can or should have a central state planner to determine how to allocate it, though tax policy is often aimed at steering it. But I do wish that those skilled mechanics and engineers who work on private jets or yachts or cruise ships (and the raw resources used in their construction) would go instead to, like, more housing and offshore wind and nuclear reactors etc...
yeah, starting that that invisible pixels and cookie tracking are way in the past and unless you're using something like tor (and not changing the resolution) then they know who you are. I mean you can still block ads and cookies, but I figure they really do know who you are.
Personally, I sympathize. Rewriting headlines here (when necessary) can be tough; it isn't a given that the optimal one will reveal itself.
Why not mandate things like healthcare no matter how many hours someone is employed. It might hurt some, but if these companies can not survive without workers, they will hire full time. And if they can not afford they don't deserve to exist.
Ouch, I wander if they received a bug bounty from Intel for this...
> any service such as Cloudflare would need to be extremely aggressive in blocking

Cloudflare needs an algorithm to deduce the IPv6 prefix size controlled by a given entity, but the details of that algorithm are not obvious. You are jumping to the conclusion that they must be doing a bad job because the problem is challenging.

IPv4 abuse detection is also challenging because of (e.g.) the prevalence of CGNAT with multiple users sharing an IP address.

Which problem is harder? Which solution is better? I don't know, without a lot of proprietary data and analysis.
> it is not accurate to say without qualification that “humans can reason,” certainly not in the sense that we can randomly pluck any person from the street and expect them to reliably perform normatively correct reasoning

> Reasoning is not quite the same thing as intelligence, but it’s a necessary ingredient for it

According to this, a typical human on the street is not (reliably) intelligent.
> I don't give a shit what languages CAN do in theory.

Then I'm sure you'll be very satisfied with languages like Go and Zig. I am not satisfied with them, because I know what can be done.

> You brought up linters. Not me.

I did not. They were brought up by others as apparently one way that Go programmers work around lack of sum types.

Uhh, that's kind of my point exactly. If a husband is beating his wife, expecting him pay for her to have an attorney is such a weird expectation to have. If I am a loving husband, I can just stop beating my wife.

If Amazon can improve their working conditions, either willfully or through the enforcement of labor laws, whether or not they are anti-labor is kind of irrelevant.

Sounds like a monopoly to me.

I generally agree, but I fear we do this every time with every topic. Everything isn't low hanging fruit, it's always something else somewhere else that should be changed. It's not the plastic bags it's the cow industry, it's not the cow industry it's the oil drills, it's not the oil drills it's the cars we drive, it's not the cars we drive it's the private jets celebs use, etc.

At some point, we're all going to have to realize this is an insane way to solve issues and that we can't solve certain issues without making inconvenient adjustments.
It's more allowing foreign competition. If you let US (or whoever) telecom into Canada, Rogers Bell and Telus would have to get their act together or die overnight. Same with banking, air travel, etc. Canadas oligarchs have complete regulatory capture so they don't have to worry about being competitive, that's the problem.
Yes, it would be very interesting. For people like myself, living in parts of Europe where there’s no real off-grid wilderness, it’s fascinating to hear about. Particularly when it’s not paired with a) prepper/conspiracy mentalities or b) gear-obsessed content.
We have fairly strong consumer rights in the UK, and the law does get better in these areas in response to public opinion.
To be successful enough to be worth hundreds of millions and zip around in private jet, completely oblivious to how normal people lead their lifes ?

Oh tell me what benefit does that have for the rest of the society?

There is basically no thing single human can do that can be worth hundreds of millions of dollars a year to society. It's all skimming off top people that actually put the work in.

Well, maybe if someone cured cancer but we all know that if someone did company hiring him and their CEO would reap most of the profits anyway

A hundred years of burning coal. Now that will cause some real global warming.

Hard to believe we burn more coal now than ever.

Someone should do the math. If we had to guess, is 1 year of coal equivalent to 100 years of all of aviation?

Everyone is suddenly an expert in HT Kim's character who didn't have any idea who he was a month ago.

And this definitely is a sort of "black swan" event in the same sense that major airline crashes are absolutely atypical of normal air travel. Inherently this viral media event is going to involve atypical constituent parts.

The idea that we could have found some of the most overconfident and underqualified material science researchers out there, who could not realize they were committing career suicide, making these claims isn't very paradoxical at all.

Most aircraft maintenance is exceptionally high quality. You're going to find a lot of bad maintenance in the fatal air disasters that hit the headlines. The FAA doesn't approach an air disaster by assuming the good intent of everyone involved with the maintenance of the plane, and that their inherently understanding that lives are in their hands if they make mistakes should necessarily diminish the likelihood of maintenance issues. They assign "0%" significance to that kind of things and instead just investigate what caused the crash. If it was bad maintenance then the operator and/or the mechanic doing the maintenance take the hit to their reputations.

Same thing here.
Thanks for including the link, we'll take a look at how we can improve this example.
Reminds me of Wrigley Field in Chicago--there are apartment buildings across the street from the park where you can get a view of games from their rooftops. They built seating on their roofs and sold tickets to spectators.

How is it under my control? It's under your control, you can't be trusted either, and we'd be linking everything through you, that's a big risk too.
The late Third Age Middle-Earth of Lord of the Rings is largely post-apocalyptic. It was heavily populated a thousand-plus years ago, but it isn't anymore.

This isn't casually obvious from the text, as The Shire and Bree are near pastoral paradises within their borders, and Gondor is a functioning kingdom (the farms surrounding Minas Tirith are mentioned briefly in the book), and we all remember the Lonely Mountain, Laketown, and Dale from The Hobbit. But the vast majority of Eriador used to be inhabited, but no longer is, at least not with any density.

Arnor and its successor kingdoms are gone, the great dwarf-Kingdoms are gone (with the Lonely Mountain as a very local and very recent successor-state), the Elves have dwindled to the level where the Havens and Rivendell have no military capability, roads have crumbled, and almost all the cities and towns of Men outside of Gondor (and its allied state of Rohan) have been in ruins for centuries.
Support for war might be an example of this. People don't want to be considered unpatriotic.
These 'problems' are all solved with more funds, which the US Government has a very, very large supply of (courtesy of the global reserve currency).

Producing more ammo isn't a serious problem, it's a trivial problem that the Pentagon & Co. are in the process of resolving.
>However most people hardly use reasoning skills at all: just like GPT, they parrot what they've heard.

If your test for being able to reason disqualifies most humans, you may want to reevaluate that test.
