The big question is whether one even needs medical care to begin with. Go look at popular books like “Being Mortal” in which one of the core arguments is whether intervention harms more than it helps one live with a specific goal (I.e. quality of life/health span).

Social media doctors are clearly driven by the same idea this article calls out. Most of them want out so they can “practice” on social media instead of in the system. Many will do whatever it takes to make it. This can be seen by the absurdity of posts and privacy violations being made.

The sad part of all this is that you can get more helpful information from a 15s TikTok than you may get from a 15 minute doctor visit you waited months for. While most TikTok doctors today are the early adopters, you’ll start to see the laggards who have actual valuable information adopt it with time like we’ve seen on YouTube.

Sure they can, e.g. on-time delivery (or even better shipments missing the promised delivery date) is a ratio. Or inventory turn rates, there you actually want people to attack the denominator.

Generaly speaking, an easy solution is to attach another target to either the nominator or denominator, a target that requires people to move that in value in acertqin direction. That might even be a different team thanthe one having goals on the ratio.
Totally besides the point, but the real wheels on some cars actually do pivot! :)

On top of the Honda Prelude, there's also the Porsche 911 GT3, the BMW 7 Series, Audi Q7, Nissan Skyline GT-R (R32, R33, R34 had HICAS), Renault Laguna (only in some European markets), Acura RLX (P-AWS), Lexus GS and LS, Infiniti Q50 and Q60, Mercedes-Benz S-Class, GMC Sierra and Chevrolet Silverado, and then to round out the list, the Lamborghini Aventador and the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta.

All of those feature rear wheels that pivot.

Some features ought to be essential. Being able to follow best-practices security and having backups ought to be included.
Even dynamically typed languages like CL have type systems. However, CL implementations are under no obligation to statically check that a program is type-safe. Those checks are deferred until run time — hence the author’s complaints.
I do agree with your comment, especially this part:

I don't think anyone claims this is an iterative linear measure, rather than a step function.

SVG can present arbitrarily complex graphics. The underlying display tech supports what ever fidelity GPT will eventually mature into.

Has GPT plateaud? Will it be stuck forever at this hilariously naive level of competence at SVG art? Will it mature into Midjourney level competence? I have no frigging clue. Since the token context is so small I imagine it will put limitations to the complexity of SVG art piece.

But I don't know. And it's fun to have a daily measure.

As a software engineer with a penchant for graphics asking GPT to draw complex graphic shapes was one of the first tests I did for it. It's extremely interesting for me to collect progress data, no matter how noisy.

I have no idea if GPT will ever mature beyond these squiggles but if it does, this track record will have at least considerable artistic value, if nothing else.

I think it's suitable for people who are trying to work through SICP by themselves, it contains some discussions and extra exercises that could be helpful in that scenario. Otherwise I think it's just like a small addition and won't vastly shape your experience with SICP, the main content is in the main book :)
Hey just on a completely off-topic thing, I like your style.

But I typed the name of your website into the URL bar, and even stupid Firefox just hung trying to load or trying to redirect from what it thinks should be the default https version. Had to specify http:// to load it. The browsers are making it almost impossible these days to just go to a plain website. half the time they loop themselves into a frenzy and cache the failed address with predictive type to the https version somewhere a normal user can't clear it, even when clearing history. It's a bloody mess for anyone who still needs to build http services.
I'm unaffiliated with either. But I can tell you that the allegations are true. At least, that was the state of things several years ago.
Even if a single version of gpt4 would be deterministic any change done to the model would probably introduce enough noise to make it impossible to make any conclusions on a few samples?
Yes, this makes sense. You are agreeing with me. In order to see if it is just a fluke or not, you need a lot of samples so you can characterize the distribution yourself and try to see if it changed.
Just not monitoring staff might be an option too.
I believe @orangepurple was talking about the app UI, not the website
> Average without median is a recipe for misperception

> The average monthly rent in July was $5,588, up 9% over last year and marking a new record. Median rent, at $4,400 per month, also hit a new record, along with price per square foot of $84.74, according to a report from Miller Samuel and Douglas Elliman.

It’s the second line in the article.

but the median ($4400) is literally right in the article.

I worked there for 10 years.

Sure, when AWS was created Amazon.com didn’t use it.

However today, Amazon.com is built entirely on AWS. It has been using EC2 and S3 since at least around 2010 (by 2013 “legacy hardware” was almost non-existent). Until 2020, it was all “hidden” behind Amazon’s internal tooling. Around 2019 there started to be a big push to just use AWS directly ie teams get AWS accounts owned by the Amazon.com org. There is still internal tooling to hook the code repo, build systems, and “pipelines” to directly deploy to AWS resources.

Meanwhile, the “serverless” I was talking about in the previous post was an internal service that hosts a Lisp dialect called Datapath. As a developer, you write some Datapath and give them the money and it executes as much as you need it to. This service is the core of Amazon.com and was actively being migrated to Graviton.
The war isn't going as they imagined it.

1.5 years into a "3-day operation" against a smaller poor country armed with hand me downs and some of the western peacetime production does not fit the narrative of 2nd best army in the world.

It's embarassing for the government that we there are even talks about them running out of tanks.

Locking down the internet supposedly helps against espionage and allows easier control of the news narrative. Authoritative regimes are always very concerned with that because the lack of open political discussion makes them seem very stable and united until the very last moment.

Additionally, Putin has a deeply seated mistrust against technology and the internet and technology.

Things You Didn't Know About the SR-71 Blackbird
Average is thrown off by the outliers. What you want is the median.

However, they're also counting all benefits (and probably significantly over counting). From TFA:

> The tentative deal would raise part-time workers' wages to at least $21 an hour. Their pay was a sticking point during negotiations. Full-time workers will average $49 an hour, and the agreement would end mandatory overtime on drivers' days off, according to a summary posted by the Teamsters Union.

So, they're claiming benefits are worth $70K per year per person. I highly doubt that there would have been a strike threat if that were the case.
If the model understood the spacial relationships as well as the one that produced the original drawings of a unicorn then variance in the choice of the next token should produce many similar but somewhat different images of unicorns. None of the images until today bear any resemblance to the original images.

What everyone working in home office need is that "drinking bird" featured in a episode of Simpsons. It will "automatically" press a key each a few seconds, while one actually is sleeping in front of the working computer :)

It's a mess. While I do understand the intentions of the employer, I deny the understanding from employee's side. In the end it's not the time spend in front of the computer, but rather the results. I would be happy as a boss, if I would have an employee who's literally do nothing, but when, then there's a good ROI and good business.

For good reasons, it's forbidden without a consent and in general in the EU.
I'm a fan on https://fast.com

Minimal interface. More details behind a toggle if you need them.
I've said this before:

At $company, we used an IRC server. Only the IT department used it.

Then we ran an ejabberd XMPP server. Some of the front end devs used it on occasion.

Now we run a Zulip server, and everybody uses it all the time.

Killer features:

- full function web client. No point in using the electron app. Mobile clients are usable, a little nicer than mobile view of the web client.

- self hosted, meets our security policy.

- channels and topics.

- markdown

- fast

- images. I thought this would add nothing, but it turns out that there are lots of non-cute-animal uses.

- each client can turn emojis off
Oh I absolutely believe we should hold the app developer accountable and watch a court case of injured Karen who made chlorine gas vs naive developer who fed unsanitized inputs into the LLM.

And ideally both get dinged and we create more product manager jobs to protect the Karens of the world while hiring more experienced developers but most likely JudgeGPT won’t suffer either and will have developer fired or turned into a paper clip and replaced with OpenAI SuperMarketAI and Karen sentenced to community service of solving 10000 google captchas for the good of society.
Yes, public school teachers are grossly underpaid. They should also make $170k. They each add more value to society than the average FAANG engineer.

> When I talk to people who are in their teens or early 20s about starting a start-up, I tell them, “Instead of sitting around thinking of start-up ideas, you should be working with other people on projects. Then, you’ll get a start-up idea out of it that you probably never would have thought of, and you’ll get a co-founder too.” I wish people would do more of that. You can get co-founders — just work with people on projects.

Great quote about how to indirectly find co-founders.

Okay, we have arrays and tuples in square brackets and parens respectively. Where do the angle brackets come in?

> when a routine accepts a lambda as a parameter, and [via runtime introspection] adapts its function depending on the number of arguments the lambda expects

I note from the article that Raku has explicit multiple dispatch. This appears to be the same thing by other means, but probably much harder to optimize.

If so, this would be an application of the same "TIMTOWTDI" principle that governed much of Perl 5's design. But that takes us back to the encouragement of idiolect and the fanaticism for idiosyncrasy, on which I have said a fair bit already. Beyond impugning "ease of writing poetry in it" as an absurd, counterproductive, and frankly twee desideratum in programming language design, I can find nothing more to add.
> I always park like this because it's much easier.

Easier? Do you have some kind of system/algorithm that you use, because I find backing in harder than driving in.
Sorry, but this is untrue; action potentials in neurons have extremely complex interplay with each other, including residual “soft” periods and chemically-induced changes in how they fire. Neurons don’t just “fire” or “not fire”, they adaptively change the strength of their firing constantly, unpredictably and continuously.
I'm not sure what you mean by random sampling. If I sample a random SVG, I wouldn't expect to look like anything, let alone roughly like a unicorn.
The answer is to pay school teachers more, not demand everyone else be paid less.
Not clear at all? Does this mean 170k in total comp for the 5 years? Or that a full year TC in 5 years will step up to 170k?

They also mention FTEs will make 49/hr, which at expected 40hr weeks seems to be roughly 100k a year pay, plus other benefits which may add up to 170k?

This was poorly summarized I think..
Yes, lots of giants for a country with GDP lower than that of Italy. Perhaps they refer to the bellies of the oligarchy that owns the companies.
And lobbyists are not lobbyists, they are oligarchs.
This is not a Latin situation at all, it’s similar to British English vs American English. I just checked and Google Translate doesn’t have separate Englishes for American, British, Australian, New Zealand, Scottish, Indian, etc.
btw, on macOS, you can just enter `networkQuality` into your terminal for a speed test. No third-party website or tool of any kind needed, it's a built-in mac CLI.
Unions will usually negotiate salaries and pay-raises for several years in advance, e.g. $5000 raise every year for 5 years. So by the end of 5 years their average salary+benefits will reach $170,000.
Google translate has felt stagnant for the past few years now. I've used Linguee in the past, but Deepl has become my de facto translation tool now, offering much better translations.

(and I just noticed that Deepl runs Linguee now)
To clarify: I did not intend to to imply nefarious reasons. I guess using the "tinfoil" implied it?

I had the impression Telegram has also, even if not fully official, "state" users.

(Cynical) Laws of Software Testing
Myanmar, while spoken by fewer people than Yue, benefits from an official standard for romanization from its own government (not ISO), and Jawi is a dialect of a language spoken by fewer than a thousand people total.

When saying “little demand internationally”, could you clarify what international demand was there for a standard for romanizing Mandarin and why that is somehow not applicable to Yue?
Isn't it ridiculous that we find it ridiculous that some people get a fair wage instead of finding it ridiculous that those who don't don't? The only ridiculous bit here is that teachers, in any country, are underpaid. _That_ should be fixed.

Also we should fix demeaning people for performing various types of jobs. A job is a job and the person is valuable.
I don't think delivery drivers should be paid three times the salary of teachers.
Top-level execution doesn't require linear execution. As an example, JavaScript has top-level execution where function definition order doesn't matter. This is achieved by "hoisting" all function declarations within a block of execution to the beginning of the block before then exercising any statements.

I don't think that's a 100% yes or no argument (especially not beforehand( but I'd say I know more parents that are actually really hard to get a hold of since the first kid, as in... you try to work with their schedule and there's nothing and then you basically stop seeing them unless you'd live close by and have kids the same age.

Might be an atypical case here but it's my experience.
It's not a fair wage it's a ridiculous wage.

From your link, almost at the top: "The cookie wall is a mechanism where the user has only one option to access the website: accept the processing of the cookies. The cookie wall is prohibited.". So no, requiring users to agree to data collection, per your article, is prohibited.
In case anyone is out of the loop here, UPS drivers have a strong union and negotiated a great rate of pay. The story being spun in the media is that us tech workers are angry about this for some reason.

It's one of the most blatant attempts to pit workers against workers and undermine unions that I've ever seen.

I find it senseless how bankers get billions of tax payers money and no one raises an eyebrow. But the moment your average worker starts to get a wage increase everyone screams inflation. Fed had flooded the market with money and brought along asset inflation for years but the moment nominal wages started to rise every Economists suddenly started to worry about inflation, as if the time to increase the rates were not 11 years ago in 2012.

Here is a Fed governor explaining how she can’t feel inflation anymore. It’s painful to watch the mental gymnastics. [1]
