Yes, that's exactly how they played it with the Great Barrier Reef. It bleached, they said it was horrendously damaged in a way that would take a decade to recover, then three years later it was in rude health. Now journalists have lost interest in the GBR, aren't telling people what happened and are repeating the exact same scam with other reefs elsewhere.

Reef bleaching is a natural process that has happened throughout their multi-million year history. The experts don't really understand it as they so dramatically demonstrated in Australia but the one thing that can be safely said is that it's not to do with global warming. It seems to be triggered by sudden temperature changes, not absolute levels of temperature or very slow changes (like the fraction of a degree per decade observed from temperature satellites).
Google didn’t steal people’s content when I left. Snippets weren’t a thing. It was a search engine that actually directed traffic to content creators.

Google didn’t make money on the curation, they made money from the separate ads on the side. I would have no problem if the author jammed ads off on the side.

The fact that you think ad revenue is the same as adding and replacing referral links from things that people already curated is pretty disturbing.

I don't know, I have had company issued high end phones and apart from better camera quality[1] these devices weren't doing things significantly better than my personal 240$ smartphone.

Also, generally people spend an awful lot of money on things out of vanity and social pressure, regardless of their needs and if it is a good decision. Look at new cars prices and how most vehicles purchases are usually overkill for everyone. The most sold car in the US are the Ford F series , Chevy Silverado and Dodge Ram trucks before a number of high end SUV. Sure people are free to buy whatever they want but a Honda Fit would be enough for large majority of them and be a smarter financial decision[2]. They mostly do it because they can, not because they need.

[1] which has become fairly decent for anyone accross all ranges in the last few years.

[2] I am not sure it is still sold in the US but I could have chosen another example of a smaller and more affordable vehicle.
I'm not entirely sure if the mental model is somehow a layer deeper than the prediction that humans do. I used to believe it, and still use it as shorthand, but these days I'm not sure it's accurate.

The triangle example doesn't prove it because our predictive model could also say "hey, things don't just change color and shape like that, they need to move". It's similar to how an LLM can be more accurate with math when asked to step through and reason through it's logic - by stepping through the individual steps it can create a larger system.

The thing that made me question if a "mental model" is at the base of human cognition - people who do those memory competitions, the clear winning strategy is the memory palace, or imagining walking through a house where each room is another number - they have to build step by step memory, it's not like an SQL database where they can just SELECT from random. Another one was the insight from GTD that if you remember 7 things to do, you're always repeating those 7 things to yourself to keep them in active memory.

There's a strong argument that the mental model is derivative of a predictive model in the human brain, and we can just appear to have a mental model since we have an internal dialogue that runs so fast in the background that even we rarely recognize it. (anyone who has kept a steady meditation or similar practice should be familiar with it)
This article is a sales pitch for a specific platform. OP seems to just be posting commercial content. Nothing inherently wrong with that, but don’t expect a balanced, technical article - this is an ad.
I’ll summarize then:
“A GPT-4+ like and OSS LLM based personal assistant that can be trained and run on soon-to-be common personal computing devices.”

Lots of people are probably already working on that but it doesn’t exist yet.
I'm extremely sceptical of anything proposed by Google especially because they are building some truly evil stuff lately (like FLoC/Topics and WEI). I really view them as the enemy of the free internet now.

But QUIC doesn't really seem to have their dirtbag shadow hanging over it. Perhaps I should try to turn it on.
> Isn't this basically the promise of Haskell, Rust, et al? "If it compiles, it works;" "guaranteed memory safety," etc?

Yes, 100%. If that's what people were referring to when they argue for typed languages, then I'm all for it!

But the article (and almost everyone else that brings this up) then tries to use TypeScript as an example. That's a big issue for me. TS leaves you hanging in the middle with a ton of boilerplate and you fighting the imperfect type system, while catching very few bugs (at least for an experienced developer).

> Giving cash away to developers

By "YIMBYism" I just mean "making it legal for developers to develop"—no cash transfers necessary. When more housing gets built, housing prices go down (supply and demand), which helps alleviate problems like homelessness. However, one of the biggest reasons why policies that reduce housing costs face political opposition is that people fear that lower costs will attract criminals to the neighborhood. By arresting and imprisoning the criminals, you neutralize this source of opposition.

In short, locking up the bad guys is a necessary step to "fight poverty in good faith".
I agree at a high level, but there are spaces where it would be common. CI/CD servers as one example. Or any wordpress server.

> The Chinese Room is a good example if you want deeper thought into the distinction between acting and being.

It's not a deeper thought at all. It's an appeal to the emotion of humans who want to believe that what we do in our heads somehow produces "understanding", while the procedural steps inside a computer doesn't. But to my mind, it doesn't give a convincing reason for this assertion. You can't prove that what we're doing in our heads, isn't functionally equivalent to what is going on inside some future AGI. There's no such test, just hubris.

As far as the Turing test goes, if you can't tell the difference between a computer and a human, what is the point of even arguing that humans still hold some claim to being the only one in the fight that actually "understand"?
It will also sometimes use approximate language when stating facts, so you can't use how it says things even as a hint.

A very underrated comment. I think a lot of people, including some people in this thread, willfully avoid this reality. There is a danger in losing one's self in the romanticism of being a "Cassandra", instead of addressing the prerequisite to the required action -- belief.

As with any war, correct messaging is vital to retain the public will in the fight. But as with any propaganda, dumbing the truth down might result in a lie. And once such a lie is uncovered and attacked, trust may never again recover (see Covid) and the fight will be forsaken.

I think the only way out, the only way to convince the general public without them needing to understand the complexity of "why" is to pour immense resources into improving our prediction of near-term events. Only by demonstrably predicting earthquakes, hurricanes, flooding, detailed weather patterns across the globe 6 months-a year in advance within a day/hour level of accuracy can we hope to convince the public that the models will be as relatively accurate when predicting earth's general characteristics decades into the future.

After all, the grudging leeway the public gives doctors and practitioners of mainstream medicine does not seem to be a result of them being swayed by the medical arguments presented to them, but because they have witnessed their powers of healing first hand.
TCP is a streaming protocol. You can build whatever multiplexing scheme on top like h2 does, but you simply can’t escape TCP head of the line blocking, as it’s just a single undelimited stream underneath.

As an aside, I only truly grasped the stream nature of TCP when I started dissecting and reassembling packets. The first ever reassembly program I wrote was hopelessly wrong because I was treating TCP packet boundary as data packet boundary, but in fact higher level protocol (HTTP/RTMP/etc.) data packet boundaries have nothing to do with TCP packet boundaries at all, it’s a single continuous stream that your higher level protocol has to delimit on its own.
Traceability always has its blind spots. Even in my experience in medical devices there's been issues with manufacturers who swap components out for what they considered to be equivalent components, and sensor manufacturers that change their components without informing the customers because they considered the functionality to be identical (spoilers, it wasn't)

There are many packages that can do that, like Vax [1] and Dask [2]. I don't know exactly your workflow. But the concurrency in python is limited to multiprocessing, which is much expensive than threads which usually a typical streaming parallelizer will use outside python world.

DSL was one of my first Linux distros. Loved the small credit card size cd it had.
I think what they mean is that most people think that only the following is possible on 1 connection

1. Send Request 1
2. Wait for Response 1
3. Send Request 2
4. Wait for Request 2

while you can do

1. Send Request 1, move on
2. Send Request 2, move on

and have an other process/routine handling response

and potentially you even have Request that can be sent without needing a reponse "user is typing" in XMPP for example.

and even wilder for people using only http, that you can receive Response without a Request ! (i.e that you don't need to implement a GET /messages request, you can directly have your server sending messages)

Just curious: why would you not load the entire dataset "into memory" ("into memory" from a Python perspective)?

On an average desktop/server system the OS would automatically take care of putting whatever fits in RAM and the rest on disk.

Or are the datasets large enough to fit on neither?

Imagine you're thinking of moving to a different country, but it is actually a difficult decision, where not only you but other people will be affected, some of them negatively. Now consider all the people at work from whom you'd immediately accept an invitation to a lunch/coffee. Are all of those people "close enough" for you to disclose your intention and ask for advice? Those that aren't are approximately the "sociable acquaintances".

Sociable acquaintances require almost no trust from each other, beyond believing that the other person is not psychotic, or a dangerous sociopath, or something of this sort.
No I do not, and I agree with the GP.

Well, they continue to introduce Pythagorean theorem through many stages of elementary math, so 8 is pretty early. But.. here could be a section of a textbook:

Pythagoras & The Pythagoreans: Mathematics, Music, and Mystery

Pythagoras was an ancient Greek mathematician and philosopher who lived around 500 BC. He traveled widely and gathered knowledge from diverse cultures, like Egypt. He also founded his own school of men and women in Italy. There, he taught that numbers held the key to understanding the whole universe. Pythagoras is best known for the Pythagorean theorem.

Fun Fact! There are stories that when Pythagoras discovered his famous theorem, he celebrated in a big way. Some say he sacrificed 100 oxen, while others claim it was just an ox made of flour. The Pythagoreans were famously vegetarian, so what do you think?

Math & Music: Pythagoreans explored the relationship between math and music.
They discovered that musical notes have mathematical relationships. Hippasus, a member of the Pythagorean community, used bronze disks to show that musical notes are connected to mathematical ratios. This is considered one of the first scientific experiments!

Activity: Using a stringed instrument, like a guitar, try plucking the strings when pressing at 1/2 the string or 2/3s the string. Try different fractions. Can you hear the mathematical relationships in the sounds?
Interesting, you're not David Nichols.
Hello,

I appreciate the product idea, well done, and nice UI.

Small gripe about the website: no translation is better than bad translation. Even more so given your target (developers). I actually had to switch language to english to really understand the website, even though It's not my main language. Some translated descriptions make no sense at all.
the blog post you’re reading right now

This made me curious. In the Firefox console, when I enable "raw" for the request headers, I see:

So I guess it was not?
> As a curiosity, what would it entail to make the two tgz byte-for-byte identical ?

It can't be that complicated. The tarballs autogenerated by GitHub (using `git archive`) were byte-for-byte identical for years, until GitHub upgraded git and things broke because entire ecosystems had started to rely on that.

To bypass the obnoxious prompt HR wheenies use to filter job applicants, duh.

As for feeling cheated, yeah I do feel cheated considering the astronomical tuition for BS make work prerequisite liberal arts classes. But the income i make nowadays covers it entirely.

And I still learned something since I had to rewrite the Wikipedia article, but believe me there isn't anything to be learned grinding away doing regurgitation research.

For the record, college liberal arts don't teach you how to think, they teach you WHAT to think and if you deviate from that you get a reduced grade.

I wouldn't have qualms cheating my way into a degree program either if the opportunity presented itself. In world of cheats, thiefs, and late stage capitalism the honest man is the fool.

Frankly, I am a bit disappointed with the article. I fail to follow the argument that an encrypted header makes it easier to adopt HTTP/3 & QUIC because middleboxes cannot see the header. With HTTP/1.1 & TCP, the middleboxes should not be changing the TCP packets anyway, no?
Also, the author does not point out that QUIC builds on UDP instead of directly building on IP like TCP does.
Yes, the author doesn't understand that, user is interested more on how article is created than the article content itself.
Yes and no. In case engine maintenance isnoutsourced, which it often is, the necessary information might not be available to Delta, or any other operator / airline, right away.

That being said, this particular UK company caused the biggest civil aerospace scandal since the 737 MAX. I have zero tolerance for jeopardizing tracibility of parts due to negligence, what the UK company did is outright criminal.

Unfortunately, there is nothing Delta and other Airlines coupd have done to prevent this from happening.
Honestly, I think they know that and just don't care.
My personal take as a PM is to find narrow opportunities for the tech where it makes most sense and poses the least risk. One project we are looking at it to tune a model against our website with URL links to make a more natural search function given the utter labyrinth of a website we currently have. Not insane given the two search giants are applying the same idea. We can reduce hallucination by validating URLs it produces before hitting the user. Also build up a list of questions and not just search queiries.

Other avenues are more human accelerators than replacement. I have been around long enough that I if a tool presents a risk to someones job the tool often gets thrown down the stairs "accidentally". GE bought in hard to Google glass back in the day and tried having it walk through procedures for complex repair processes. A great idea if literally anyone in the field asked for it.

I'm with many that the hype train hit hard for "AI" and block chain, but LLMs for me do have real value and real application for some excellent use cases. I also find it an excellent sounding board for my own ideas, though the models tend to not want to disappoint you.
The only time I made low/no code work was with the unreal engine. Kismet/Blueprints is a great way to learn the concepts of programming when code seems intimidating. The only other platform that has not been horrible is nodeRed on raspberry pis for quick qpio programming. Besides that all other tools have been horrible inefficient (it would have been way faster to just code it)
I'm surprised people have to ask this.

Over a longer time (>5yr) frame I've seen a lot of value in the Build option. Like CRM? Just buy one with a good API. Billing process? auth? Build. Annoying up-front but years later they've both shown to be cheaper and flexible than the Buy options.

Maybe the line for me is how dependant we'll be on the service, and how hard to switch? How much ownership of the feature/service does the company need now and in 10 years.

One startup I know used an auth-provider-service. It missed on some feature they needed so they had to hack a workaround and now also it's expensive.
