Happy to help, my current focus is on llms and how to understand them (pros, cons, how to use them safely and where they can fit into your workflow) so opportunities to talk through these things are useful for me.

> I suspect though that the reason the tool was "outrageously slow" in your experiment is that you gave a very general grammar

Actually even smallish ones caused problems but jsonformer (a similar tool) worked fine. Not sure what the issue is with this one, I couldn't get it to complete. Not sure if I've got the hacked together code I used to get the json, I was using very small models which didn't help but my internet is slow and I couldn't load anything decent in the time so some of the testing was "here's an llms jsonish output, fix it to this exact schema". Smaller models needed more hand holding. Gpt2 had no idea how to deal with it.

For jsonformer the grammar was near identical to what I posted before, I fixed a couple of typos I think.

Personally the flow of:

Reason about the problem

Write in english

Convert to JSON

- use a tool like this to fix broken JSON

Is a workflow I think is very applicable (you can use different models for any step too).

> again- I'd like to see the prompt that led to that, please

Sure, that was from gpt4, which actually was either fine or decent if given the jsonschema.

Here's the original prompt and the full response that had a full backstory:

> fun but not over the top character from the middle ages, with relevant weapons and a backstory. Game theme is a world populated by anthropomorphic vegetables

It's a shame you can't use some of these tools with gpt4, it's in a class of its own.

> Also, it's obvious that while you'll get valid json like that, you have no guarantee that the contents will always match your request

Yeah absolutely. You need to be doing something simple enough for the llm in use to reliably generate sensible output, tools like this then let you integrate that into other systems. How best to use llms really comes into how to pick a good one for the use case and how critical errors are - proposing d&d characters is a very low risk option (human oversight, no automatic application, errors are mostly just annoying, fixing is easy).

Are there any CSS frameworks you like instead? Or just raw CSS?
That's just a dissertation. If you mean that also it should be written in a pedagogically sound way, I don't think I've ever seen anything like that outside of for historically important problems where a single textbook/class might be about the problem (think special relatively). The reason these kinds of things don't get written is the same reason docs for some random package don't get turned into books either: ain't no one got time for that when they're working on solving more such problems (and if you're not so expert that you're busy then you can't write the book).
My map has a _bunch_ of controls overtop of it that let the user mess around with what's displayed.

Did I do these things? No. As one tends to do, I just nuked it and started over

No? The doctor's frustration seems pretty simple - just let them go left/right for newer/older notes on the patient's health. Seems simple enough to me.
That's the service that an employer of record provides: they hire the worker locally and deal with all resulting payroll & tax complications, liability under local labor laws etc. while the US company pays a flat hourly fee to an overseas service provider.
In reference to the article's question: "could we turn Community Notes itself into something that's more like an economist algorithm?" My answer would be: no, as soon as you add an economic incentive to a system such as this, you break it, by adding an immediate and direct incentive for abusing and gaming it. FWIW that's why I think the concept of "credible neutrality" applied to money is a fantasy, like a neutral weapon (as soon as it is used it has, by definition, to have taken a side).
>If the baseline position is that any company can and will lie, regardless of available knowledge about law enforcement intervention or audits then one could say nothing can really be trusted

I think it's a good starting assumption if you need full trust.

For regular Joes however, it's more about being able to trust the raw technical mechanics (that the data won't go to the wi-fi in the open or to your ISP and in-betweens, but to some remote VPN).

If you can assume those targetting you don't (or can't) buy your non-anonymized data from that VPN service, you're OK, even if the VPN service logs and lies that it doesn't log.

Because, sure, they can lie about that (and even the audit service can), but in-betweens can't just bypass SSL (unless you're compromised otherwise, in which case VPN or not is the least of your problems).

I think Tailwind could be made good for usage at enterprise scale, for example, as a customisable foundation for a branded design system.

If for example Figma offered first-class support for Tailwind-like utility classes in the form of a modernised "styles" or "composite tokens" feature, then mapping from a design system to Tailwind-based code could be pretty simple.

But right now, it's anything but. In my experience, designers simply aren't aware of the Tailwind structure, and it's hell trying to map their mental model onto Tailwind. Figma is built to design things that map easily to CSS at the attribute level, not the class level.
The comment I replied to literally said "primal fear"

I'm not framing anything...

Context: I've nearly 100%'d BotW(+DLC)+TotK (except for the Korok seeds). Spoilers might follow.

> Some of them are specific to Link’s latest adventure, including things like Riju’s lightning ability, which lets the player target enemies with a bow and bring down a lighting strike wherever the arrow lands.

To be quite blunt, the sages' abilities are implemented absolutely horribly in this game, doubly so when compared to the similar system in BotW (which was excellent). The only ability that is actually usable (and only really outside of combat) is Tulin's gust of wind; everything else is a struggle to make useful.

You have to walk up to a sage (they keep running around trying to fight enemies; and they all have an identical color palette; so it's super awkward and error-prone), press a button, and only then you get to make use of the ability. The more sages you summon, the bigger the crowd, the bigger the problem. Even the one sage that does not appear as a ghost still has a broadly similar palette (and on top of that, identical to a class of enemies). Compare with BotW, where you also get broadly similar abilities, but using each one was a decision you could execute in a split second using a dedicated key combo/mechanic, and all of them were directly viable in combat.

If Nintendo were to hold a patent on this bullshit and thusly prevent it from being implemented in any other game, they'd do the gamers a favour.

> Who knows if these patents actually go anywhere? But when game design concepts are gatekept like this, it only leads to a loss of innovation for other devs.

True! There's plenty of prior art for the remaining patents, so I sincerely doubt a lot of this would hold up in court. But the fact that this makes news at all is just proof of how rotten the system is; the patent doesn't have to be standing on a firm ground before it can successfully deter from climbing the shoulders of giants, which is foundational to innovation.

Nintendo has always been famous for pushing innovative gameplay, rather than endlessly refining the graphics on yet-another "next-gen" console that has all the same last year's titles in a new package. Whatever patents they can hold, I don't think it would help them: patents only help entrench your current position; Nintendo was always about moving forward.
> why would it be?

Because most frontend engineers cannot make something as visually appealing as Tailwind’s defaults and most designers cannot make frontend abstractions as ergonomic as Tailwind’s.

Now it seems like you’re suggesting just reimplementing Tailwind? Or yes you can have one of your FE engineers and one designer try to dream up your own Tailwind but again: why? Now you’re consuming two people for something that can be achieved by literally zero people and “yarn add tailwind.”

It is not at all my objective to “reduce complexity” that sits behind good abstractions. My goal is to ship product and to put as much complexity as possible behind good abstractions and ideally out of my team’s maintenance burden and Tailwind helps achieve all of those.

Sure, if Tailwind provided literally zero value I would say you shouldn’t add it to the codebase. But it provides a huge amount of time-value (the best kind!) in my experience, so “there’s a package from the internet” is hardly a consideration whatsoever.
When Hackers Descended to Test A.I., They Found Flaws Aplenty
Firm regrets taking Facebook moderation work
When I was in high school I noticed my library was replacing their vt terminals with pc's. I asked if I could buy a terminal and they said just stop by when we close and we will give you one. I was expecting one of the beat up ones used for public card catalog lookup but they gave me the deluxe setup they used behind the desk a vt420 with a dot matrix printer and a wand type barcode scanner. What a score.

I wired it up in my little brothers(10) room. He would play nethack and make elaborate barcode based auth systems with it. A lot of fun. I still have strange dreams of running an entire office off terminals to this day. Strangely nobody has taken me up on it yet.

But the real lesson is do your part and help a poor high school kid.

The two easy areas I can cite are the lackluster results of the RECOVER initiative (https://erictopol.substack.com/p/long-covid-mitochondria-the...), and the complete failure of any government to distribute vaccines well.

Another: 19 September 2022, US President Biden declares COVID to be "over"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHT1enFH2sI

Meanwhile, it is easy to get Pfizer and Moderna vaccines (mRNA based), and hard to get Novavax (protein based). By hard I mean impossible. mRNA are not well understood, have nasty side effects for some people (including me), and lose their efficacy after a few months, thus the need for boosters. You can verify this with blood tests that show antibody levels. With Novavax, which is based on technology that's been around for 20 years, it appears (based on studies) that it keeps its efficacy for at least a year after multiple doses, and it has minimal side effects (including my own shot).

That said, many governments have relationships with Pfizer and Moderna, and so these vaccines are easily attainable, while no such relationship exists with Novavax, and it is impossible to get it. I say impossible after asking about 50 doctors, contacting pharmacies, and finally contacting Novavax themselves, who told me that it is not possible to get until the new mix comes out.

So why would a vaccine that seems to actually work be unavailable, while ones that do not work are easy to get?

I realize that this is more a commentary on COVID than ME/CFS, but I'm arguing that they are very similar. Just consider Physics Girl, who contracted COVID a year ago, and is now bed bound:

> Maybe these """tankies""" are tired of all these first world dronies or diet white supremacists (IDK what you're suppose to be) spewing colonizer propaganda everywhere?

I don't think the notion of fair and equal representation is colonizer propaganda, but based off your previous comments, you're far enough down the rabbit-hole that it's not worth trying to lift you out. I'm not a "diet white supremacist" whatever that is, just someone whose family was murdered in the Holodomor and as a result has done a lot of reading on the USSR and its atrocities.

Be well, I hope someday you can put this hate behind you.

I don't know what magic stylelint does that I'm not aware of that helps with this. We used stylelint with a massive project and everything was nice and "clean" yet CSS debugging was a nightmare. At least with Tailwind I can look at the classes and tweak exactly what I want
You know that was my first though as well (new CSV version), but then I thought that a new version wouldn't make sense since (1) there is already a specification (the RFC), and (2) those who don't care about the current RFC won't care about a new spec, either.

CSV is one of those things that are everywhere because it is “obvious”. Then we have to deal with 100 interpretations of “obvious” decades later, since not enough people care about standardization.

ChatGPT works really well if you are doing something that is mainstream and well understood.

For example - I've been writing a presentation on image processing and needed a whole bunch of examples. OpenCV has a ton of blog posts, documentation, stack overflow content for it to have learnt from. So it's been great. I can just ask it for some python code to demonstrate some particular algorithm and it can give me really helpful code and suggestions.

I'm also working on a Rails app at work, again, very mainstream, lots of source material for it to have learnt and generalised from. It's a fantastic pair programmer to talk to about how to approach things. And to be honest, I could not use things like ActiveAdmin without it.

Also, I can't stress enough, if you are using 3.5 and not 4 then you really can't comment on how good ChatGPT is.
PEM (post-exertional malaise) is a core symptom of ME/CFS, but I've never heard of it being a symptom of depression. IME it's more correct to say that depression can be a symptom of ME/CFS - having your life blow up can do that.
Food for thought:

https://csswizardry.com/2018/11/css-and-network-performance/

Progressive rendering of CSS is a great boost in performance. Tailwind can't benefit from this technique I think and as such, imposes an added cost on our users.

Correct me if I'm wrong!
LLM is just the latest in a long line of AI "achievements" which suffer from a distinct lack of real "intelligence" and judgment.

This should not be a surprise. It's not sensical to expect binary logic to accurately emulate something that has yet to be logically defined.

Statistically generated language is superficially nice and impressive but ultimately worse than meaningless if it can't be trusted. It starts to obfuscate facts rather than reveal them ---aka, "enshittification".

To me, the most disappointing aspect of all this is the number of otherwise intelligent technical leaders who desperately want to *believe* in "emergent" intelligence without any logical justification. More than 1000 such leaders recently signed an open letter signaling their devotion to this tech industry religion.

> For roughly six years, Davies ran a series of firms that pretended to offer insolvency services. Instead, he simply siphoned what little remaining money these companies had, spending the stolen funds on lavish cars, home furnishings, vacations and luxury watches.

Apart from the lavish cars, that fairly closely matches my experience with a real insolvency company we used when winding up our start up. Maybe he should just run a legitimate insolvency firm instead.

Show HN: AI Configured Log Collection Agents
Long time reader, first time caller!

I had what I thought was a common DevOps problem. My data collection agents had a centralized config registry but couldn't update their own configs. This was a nightmare for my dynamic environments where one-off deployments were common. Unable to find something that fit my needs, LogSail was born.

My solution is an autonomous logging and monitoring platform that provides a reactive log layer. Once an agent deploys, it defines collection sources and starts reporting. The agent decides on its own what to check, as well as when and how to do it. It even works in the face of anomalies and other problems. Part of the logic lives in the agent, but I ended up designing a protocol for the agents to be more robust. This could make it useful for some scenarios where connectivity is iffy, too.

By design, the log collection layer has started out agnostic of other upstream logging platforms. It turns out, this work also reduces centralized logging storage costs, network traffic, and enhances data quality. In early prototypes, my first customer saw a 30% drop in their Datadog bill. LogSail isn’t designed to replace the likes of Datadog or Splunk, but it lets you optimize your dollars with them. As an added bonus, real time control over agents via web-based console or API makes integration a snap.

For my own needs, it was enough to store log data in a secure archive. The archive design had multi-tenancy and security in mind. Now that I have a few customers, they have all asked for event forwarding to Datadog, SumoLogic, and Splunk.

At the link, I’ve included a quick video showing what agents are capable of finding, as well as the ease of deployment. Please feel free to try it out. There’s a free tier to make that easier and I welcome any feedback.

Even if you don’t try it, I’d appreciate an opportunity to get your feedback about the idea and any pointers you might have based on your own experiences.
I participated in this, and would encourage others to do so. It's really easy: they send you a spit kit, you do it and post it back, simple as that.
Sometimes it is exactly what they're doing. 15 years ago, shortly after surgery to remove a tumor from my femur, I ran into a physical therapy assistant whom I'd been working with when my doctors thought my leg pain was a soft tissue problem. He said he'd heard about my surgery and was glad I was doing well, and then as we parted ways he cheerfully commented offhand that when I'd been working with him and his supervisor, "I thought you were making it all up!" (I still feel angry about that occasionally, all these years later.)
Yep, this is also one of the conditions.

Forgot about that one you've mentioned though. Another one to get rid of.

Have to admit, it's sometimes hard to check. One of the companies I was interviewing with, pretended to make sports software. Later on it was just pure gambling.
Sorry for being cheeky. Its a good list.
One of the things that tailwind achieves is let you ship style in a way that is encapsulated within components and works reliably across any framework (including server-side rendering frameworks, react, svelte etc).
You use pragmas to disable/enable features on a file-by-file basis.

Since existing code contains no Circle pragmas, it's compiled by the Circle compiler as "standard" C++.

I urge you to try it -- there's binaries and Docker containers available. Takes two seconds.

As I understand a 'core-dump' is not just a stack trace, but also contains some of the arguments passed in the functions in the stack-trace. Those can easily contain sensitive information. Especially if the heap is also included.
You are correct that Community Notes doesn't work if things are controversial, which is why I called it a "lame mitigation" against misinformation.

My point is that non-controversial is not strongly correlated with the truth. So if you want to avoid the truth in a Community Note, like China's treatment of Ugyhurs, you just need to make it controversial so that it is automatically removed by the algorithm.

Have not heard about 85% rule, but in this context it sounds like just a spin on Pareto principle or 80/20 rule which in turn has been spun in every possible way with regards to fitness (google 80/20 fitness and see how many articles you find).

Anyways, I strongly recommend you listen to Prof. Andy Galpin's six part series (https://hubermanlab.com/dr-andy-galpin-how-to-assess-improve...) which addresses fitness in general term and outlines how to train for different outcomes (adaptation) to achieve a combination of Skill/technique, Speed, Power, Force/Strength, Muscle hypertrophy, Muscular endurance, Anaerobic capacity, Maximal aerobic capacity and Long-duration training. The subsequent episodes goes into all these areas in detail and serves as a knowledge base for further exploration.

I've yet to come over a better general approach and foundational knowledge information. There are probably equally good resources out there (e.g. books). This is in stark contrast to the broscience filled internet. Too often, it seems like advice is given without taking into account the individual and what you want to achieve. Fitness forums are great, but they are often concentrated on a niche part of fitness. E.g. people who care about Strength/Power/Hypertrophy don't care about Running etc. and vice versa.

Another general tip, which is talked about in the podcast series, is to continuously to work "Agile" (heh). In other words, use a feedback loop every month/ 10 weeks to see if you are progressing towards your goal. If not, see if you stuck to the plan. Check what's missing and reassess.
