If you wish to make an apple pie, first you must make the universe from scratch. (carl sagan)

We can generate thoughts that are spatially coherent, time aware, validated for correctness and a whole bunch of other qualities that LLMs cannot do.

Why would LLMs be the model for human thought, when it does not come close to the thoughts humans can do every minute of every day?

Aren't we all just stochastic parrots, is the kind of question that requires answering an awful lot about the universe before you get to an answer.
Bevy is even more immature than Godot. It doesn't even have an editor and its reliance on webGPU leaves a lot of platforms in the dust.
I get where you're coming from, but the article is very specifically about the external design of buildings, and the impact that external design has on the area around it.

You're not wrong that the internal design is important (and perhaps, in some cases, given less attention than it should fairly receive) but one of the points the article makes is that for any given building, only a very small people who experience that building will actually be interacting with it directly. Most people will experience it as a background to something else going on in their life:

> Buildings’ exteriors serve as backgrounds to a huge range of activities. In my view, this generates constraints on what we want them to look like. The streets of a city are places of work and play, of sickness and health, of triumph and grief. To all this, buildings owned by strangers form the involuntary backdrop, and for this reason, we often want them to be as we want strangers to be: polite, courteous, friendly and unintrusive.

With this in mind, I don't think it's unreasonable to also evaluate buildings on the basis of how their facade contributes (or doesn't contribute) to the general vibe of the area around it.
You're not thinking like a thought leader.
We at Stardog -- https://stardog.com/ -- have been using Antithesis as early adopters to build our distributed knowledge graph platform, which includes a Zk-based HA clustered graph database.

Antithesis is great; has saved us a few times; and the time is great, true rock stars and great people.

Very happy customers.

I have a hard time believing the “gosh we were so dumb back in the past” take on things. Especially when it comes to effective use of food, which was considerably more valuable back then.

I imagine there was a lot about the times that we aren’t privy to when we make our judgements. We’re not playing with a full deck of cards, if you will… ;)
In addition to the other comments, it's worth pointing out that (a) stealth aircraft deliberately use radar corner reflectors and other methods to increase their radar signature, reserving "stealthing up" for missions that require it; (b) almost all forms of identifying and locating an aircraft in flight besides radar require it to be transmitting RF (eg ads!) yet the conditions likely to lead to ejection likely lead to a reduction in the ability to do this; and (c) search and rescue in deep water is really really hard as water strongly absorbs and scatters most forms of radiation likely to be used .
What advantage do you think defold has over godot for 2d (apart from currently seemingly being more polished)? Theres lots of people complaining in this thread that GDscript is not serious enough as an engine language, but Godot at least has a decent c++ api. Defold only seems to support Lua (although you can extend the engine with other languages afaik).

Now I'm imagining a natural-language language server -- a plugin for text editors which can provide services like text completion and transformations in plain text documents based on an underlying LLM. Why let programming languages have all the fun? :)
You raise valid points and I agree with the thrust of what you're saying. To quibble a bit though I'd say that Medicare and Medicaid aren't really individual spending, but rather a pharmaceuticals and healthcare subsidy, much like how food assistance programs amount to a food and agriculture subsidy.
In neer peer conflict air supremacy is probably pipe dream because of combination of ground based anti aircraft systems and inability to take out airports for more than 1-2 hours without using tactical nukes. Tor/S300/S400 and western/Chinese alternatives are highly effective, mobile and hard to detect - you can never take out all of them. AWACS are big, expensive and slow targets so they will have limited utility in a conflict - so limited visibility on what's in the air.

Go low - you will get MANPAD. Go medium - Pantsir will get you. High - S300. Not everytime but often enough that all sorties will have to be very quick with no loitering and unpredictable flight paths (so no CAS).
There is a web browser add-on called, "Channel Blocker", that will block every video from any channel you block. It puts an X next to the channel name. One click permanently removes all that channel's videos.

You may also be interested in another web browser add-on called, "BlockTube", which lets you block videos based on keywords in the video title or channel name.

If I understand things correctly (not assured by any means, as I've only skimmed some of the sources), the abuse vector looks something like this:

1) A company files that trivial "improvement" patent, or simply picks a recent patent out of its portfolio whose applicability to the drug is unclear. Hilariously, in the linked example from the article, the "improvement" was merely to claim that a metabolite was the active molecule rather than the drug per se, and thus change the instructions for when to take the pill relative to mealtimes.

2) The company files for an Orange Book listing asserting that the new patent applies to the old drug.

3) A generic manufacturer seeking approval disputes this assertion in its ANDA (abbreviated new drug application) filing.

4) The FDA provisionally approves the generic.

5) The generic manufacturer starts tooling up for manufacturing and taking orders for the product.

6) The brand-name manufacturer sues the generic manufacturer, which automatically triggers a 30-month stay on the approval.

LLMs are inherently approximations of collective knowledge. They will never be better than their training sets. It's a statistical impossibility.
> I used to "not get" why Van Gogh is considered to be so special. After reading his biography and his letters, I am now in the know.

Funny thing is this was the reality of his lived experience as well. He sold three (though there is some debate it was four) paintings in his life. The majority of them to his brother, and the rest by his brother.

He died a relative unknown leaving all of his paintings to his brother.

When his brother's wife read their correspondence she recognized what you did, and decided to publish them.

Upon publishing the letters Vincent's work became respected and in demand.
Ok cool: so adding SQL to that is going to magically speed it up?

No. It’s the on disk format that matters. Because it would be just as slow and scary if it used a sqlite file that was embedded in a zip file or something equally as mad.

It’s not the SQL, it’s the file format.

If you decouple the file format from the SQL engine, it becomes simpler to reimplement, more agnostic and less vendor locked.
Is Dgraph dead? (should I continue using it)
I have been using Dgraph for my work, and I am in love with the product.

In 2021, the founder exited the company - and it had a brief downtime. In 2022, a new management took over the company - and they worked on the product and were communicating progress. In 2023, the 2022 is no more - and a new leadership team from top startups of bay area has come in.

With some adjustments, the 2023 team - has removed a lot of talent. And is re-hiring. Also, I have seen less movement on the open source project.

As a user of the product, I have 2 questions:

1.) How many big companies are relying on Dgraph. How is the support been? I feel like with management changes these fears start to creep in.

2.) I also know when Manish exited, a lot of people migrated to other products. What did you choose over Dgraph and why?

Any insights on this, would be great.

Nope, it's a tool for building a private network among machines which can be geographically and internetically distributed. So, more or less a VPN, but not particularly in the sense that people use it today (which is effectively a glorified proxy server).

This is the Godot way of doing it. It encourages just getting your hands dirty if you need the engine to do something very specific. The architecture is made with the understanding that you eventually want to transition from script implementations to native ones, but that you'll ship with the game being somewhere in between. And the architecture has been set up with generous amounts of glue(which is the overhead encountered in OP) to make the transition uneventful.

And while it's desirable to optimize the glue and make scripting fast, that's also a much larger engineering project; Unity did it by spending big.

that's the key...with a diverse diet in adequate quantity.

a counterexample would be a diet of blueberries and a huge bucket of lysine, you'd be starving for other essential amino acids, because their "essential" adjective means our livers can not synthesize them...in this contrived example from blueberries and lysine.
I've seen it second-hand many times, the all-too-common mistake of people who aren't immensely wealthy striving to live in SF, somewhere they can't afford to buy property or accumulate savings, and are willing to accept any and all abuse to remain rather than relocate somewhere more reasonable with lower taxes and less bullshit.

It's like you believe GDScript is the only language for which any of these features are possible. Other languages are also easy to write, learn and teach. Integration with the client is an implementation, not language, issue. Support is a business issue. Debugger quality is orthogonal, and you can make a game in assembly if you want (Railroad Tycoon.)

I don’t understand the tech independence claim? The script is replacing a unified service like Google or Apple iCloud with a lot of other services. Vultr and mailgun for example.

There is something to be said about the larger centralized services. I’d be hesitant to put any sensitive files on my own server. The larger firms have security departments ready to respond to CVE’s and 0days.
For those interested in a more analytical approach, this article/youTube video explains how the geographical vulnerability of Russia's western borders has led to both its high degree of overall militarization as well as its extreme sensitivity over Ukraine in particular:

Yeah if someone has as many merges in their branch as they have commits, I might allocate ten minutes to trying to cherry-pick their changes out, and if that doesn't work I tell them to paraphrase their code onto a new branch. Probably about the same number of times that you have.

Still better to run it on your router. Apple’s had VPN leaks, and also exempted its own services from VPN or Little Snitch firewalling. Separation of roles means not having to trust Apple.

Keep in mind that we had already conducted firebombing raids on Tokyo and Dresden that did a comparable amount of damage, inflicted comparable loss of life, and carried comparable moral and ethical implications. At the time, the only thing special or unusual about the atomic bomb was that it required only one airplane to deliver. It wasn't yet an item of totemic significance.

Words have meaning, and "snark" isn't just "giving someone a response that absolutely does not fulfill their request."

Snark is very much about tone, and it is absolutely possible to give a response like the GP with no snark whatsoever. If they give their answer with absolute sincerity, it may be rude, and it may be unhelpful, and it may even be arrogant (it may not—those are all very context-dependent)—but none of those things make it snarky.
Not denying that at all. But this wasn't laid out in the GP comment, which contrasted people from the "before" time and the "have-nots" in a higher rate environment.

There are many other things about the mid-2020s that differ from the 1990s, but interest rates alone are not a determinant of someone's lifetime economic trajectory.
40%? I sincerely wish them the best of luck and I hope they get what is their due but this is probably good news for India, Mexico and China.
It's a completion model, which can work a lot better for certain use cases.

Eg I can ask it to generate a huge chunk of code and it doesn't try to give an "example", it generates a realistically long bit of code.

This is great particularly when you want to generate an entire webpage, vs having a chat with an agent that's going to tell you how to build a webpage yourself with small snippets of example code.
If you want "structs" in GDScript, use Resources.

I know it's not the same thing at all but it's as close as you're going to get.
This is a wonderful idea! Will work on this for Rust at some point.
I think the problem with tipping is that the way we tip has gotten too disconnected from the service you are tipping for.

For the most part, tipping a percentage of the total paid only makes sense when two things are true: 1. the amount you pay corresponds pretty directly the the amount of service that is provided and 2. You understand where your tip is going.

This is pretty true of a lot of traditional tipped industries that use that model: taxis, restaurants, stylists/barbers, and so on.

For a lot of other jobs where that was less true, the tipping interaction was often separated from the payment of the bill, and it would be fixed based on the service provided. Good examples of that are porters, couriers, baristas (when coffee drinks were relatively cheap compared to the labor involved in making them) and so on.

Today though, UE/GH drivers are tipped as a percentage of the bill even though that has little to do with what they actually did (should probably be distance + # of bags + extenuating circumstances). People who are doing nothing more than ringing you up for a pre-packaged item are now presenting you with a console that asks for 20% (give or take).

This is creating a tipping backlash, for good reason. Even though you can always tip whatever you want, there is a social contract that has been broken: if a tip is requested it should be reasonable based on the service provided.
> One thing I'll respectfully disagree with — "SQL is highly statically analyzable by nature"

Are you suggesting that PRQL is capable of this? Or at least easier to do in PRQL?
40% over 4 years isn't as crazy (especially when you consider that they had some concessions back in '08). typical clickbait when you consider this is a high value for negotiation and they're likely looking for anywhere between 20-30% over 4 years when it's all said and done. barely above inflation YoY.

I think that's a pretty bad reading of history frankly. The Church didn't hoard knowledge, in fact they were arguably the primary preservers of knowledge and disseminator of it, through the monastic tradition in Medieval Europe. Many thousands of which were destroyed during the religious wars, which is a common theme as far sectarian wars go. They are first and foremost destroyers of knowledge.

More importantly I certainly wouldn't want to live through that period for any reason, and much less repeat it. If an ordinary printing press caused that much chaos I'm not sure I want to figure out what one on steroids is going to do
Certainly, and that's one reason people choose to be renters.

People in other parts of the world where real estate doesn't always/ever appreciate in value the way it has in the Anglosphere over the last 40 years also have to spend a lot of money and time/effort ... and they do it anyway.
I did. On Windows, Python had (still have?) a good offline help. And it included a nice getting started tutorial. The only book I had was “The C Programming Language”. But they ignited my interest enough to start researching, and I landed on the "Site du Zero" (now OpenClassrooms) platform. The web was sparser, but better, in these days (2010).
It’s important to note the workers made huge concessions in 2008 that saved the companies from bankruptcy. Over the years they’ve seen stagnant wage growth, while the execs got solid gold toilets. Even with 40% increase (inevitably spread out over many years), theyd barely be back to where the would have been without the concessions.
> there are claims that they are largely conserved.

That they're not static doesn't necessarily mean that they aren't largely conserved.
This is one of the best iOS updates in years. There are so many great quality of life features and improvements in this release!
An old trick for bytecode interpreters is to use indirect jumps for going to the next opcode’s implementation (gcc had a ‘computed goto’ extension that was used for this. For Rust I guess you would want function pointers plus something to force TCE?) and putting those indirect jumps at the prelude of every opcode implementation. This meant that the indirect-jump-predictor (which cpus have because of oop) would have separate models for the ends of different opcodes and so would be more likely to predict correctly (maybe you have a hard time predicting a the next instruction but it is much more likely that a test is followed by a branch).

I think other tricks (e.g. storing top of stack in registers for a stack machine) matter more though, and I don’t know if the trick described above is still relevant.
That's true. However, Walmart's $20 Onn 4k Streaming Box has no malware, apparently.
> People are not moving away from the metros in which their families are...

That's assuming people's parents are already in the desirable metros, which is often not the case. These metros are experiencing a net increase from migration (except during COVID), so more people are moving in than out. Internal migration is disproportionately done by young people, so parents or aspiring parents of young children are likely moving away from grandparents. The "I have to move to NYC to get a job" ethos remains strong, though there was a pronounced drop during COVID young people are still much more likely to move than other demographics and their destinations are primarily the large cities: https://www.census.gov/library/stories/2022/07/theres-no-pla...
It's not unreasonable unless you feel the C-suite are simply parasites trying to leech as much out of the system as it can stand
Yes, and there's been a drop in quality since then too. The 1800-1940s really saw literature as the high water mark for quality media and it shows.

Finding deeply valuable and high quality books is much rarer in today's crop of authors. The best minds are rarely making the medium of literature their highest good, but are instead chasing dollars and relations with the rich and famous.
Yes! In the early 90's, anyone with a T1 was almost god like. Most local ISPs were still connected with 56k or maybe fractional T1 lines.
