I don't do it to make people think I'm doing a good job, I'm doing it because it makes me do a better job. Some people actually want to do a good job, not just do the minimal effort they can get away with.
I'm not sure our observations are consistent. What I'm saying is that I've seen many times people who crush the DSA problem, but struggle to define clean APIs, write clear, maintainable and extensible code, or just design systems. In fact in some cases leetcode makes this worse, with it's emphasis on very terse code (e.g. single letter variables, all code in a single method, hard to understand coding constructs...).

About your second point, not to be a dick, but if someone on my team sent a 1k loc single PR for a big feature, I would sit down with them to have a conversation about why that is bad (I have indeed done this before).
Just for context I live in Montreal about 6 hours east and have most of the same job prospects but just to quote the very first source I found:

“ You would need around 8,129.0C$ in Toronto to maintain the same standard of life that you can have with 6,400.0C$ in Montreal “

And I really do feel that as a recent graduate I pay for a 1 bedroom apt what some friends in Toronto pay to share a 5 bedroom house it’s a big investment for a young person just to live there

mind boggling that 7B is now considered a small model. I think it's valid, given the preeminence of 70B+ sized models. But wow, the community really just leap frogged over single digit billion parameter sizes.
I'd be surprised if that happens in any meaningful scale. Twitter just doesn't justify that type of investment anymore.

Seems like a false dichotomy to me.
Can anyone figure out what the units would be? Delay is presumably time, and I can accept money for "value" because it's a sort of usable proxy for other internalised value systems.

Is expectancy "estimated probability of success"? That would make it unitless, and I think impulsiveness is supposed to be unitless too: "sensitivity to <other factor>" sounds like a unitless scaling parameter to me.

That would mean, according to this equation, motivation is measured in dollars per day.

I am in this equation and I don't like it.

So true.
There is currently a shareholder lawsuit concerning Amazon choices of launch providers. There are arguments for and against Amazon paying SpaceX for launch services.

For:

* SpaceX is very price competitive

* SpaceX may be able to launch sooner than other launch providers (Amazon may be able to "outbid" other customers for Falcon payload capacity)

* Every Falcon (or Starship) carrying KuiperSats is _not_ carrying Starlink satellites. SpaceX uses Starlink launches as a way to tune and optimize the Falcon launch platform. Launching KuiperSats potentially hurts the SpaceX launch vehicle and Starlink businesses in subtle ways.

Against:

* Social media trolling

* SpaceX does not have a reputation for working well with other companies

> Not all of them per se, take a look at something like Mistral. It's a 7B model displaying incredible performance.

I would, but they don't say what their dataset is that I can find anywhere, and the only thing they say about their instruction-tuned is that it's trained on 'publicly available' datasets. You know, the ones where a lot of them turn out under the hood to be drawing from the OA API or other pretrained models in some way or another...

> Especially not with pre-filtered/classified pre-training data.

Indeed not! But what exactly is prefiltering or classifying all that data...?

But yeah, especially post Sheraton acquisition, Marriott properties branding is a bit of a mess. And add to that, depending on location, something like Residence Inn varies quite a bit too. In one place it might be a basic family-friendly property while, in another, it may have a cool rooftop bar.

But I guess it works and actually changing branding is expensive and those of us who travel a lot don't really care.

What do you mean though when you say you see no positive effects?

You see negative effects because scientists who have spent great time and effort have found connections to and predicted negative effects.

Has anyone spent a similar amount of time and effort looking for positive effects? If not, how can we expect to know about any positive effects?

A simple starting point is changing local zoning that implicitly or explicitly requires single-family homes in most places. Even just allowing rowhouses would make for significantly higher density in some places.

I also live in a country without full-term fixed mortgages, however we also don’t have a secondary market for mortgages. AFAIK these two things are at the very least not entirely orthogonal, and to be blunt I don’t think anyone is looking to the US as a source of inspiration for that aspect of your mortgage system.

I now regret that I didn’t have that thought myself.

I do however have a database version of the statutes that keeps the textual history and is searchable implemented.
Ah, that's fair. I doubt most applications need that level of optimization, and AOT still seems to be more reliable overall for performance. A language with GC and/or VM does have great properties, though, so for most apps it's not a loss to go with the managed approach. Poorly designed software seems to be the bigger issue in general.

Yea, I'd say this is probably the worst part about living outside of a city. Just not as many events to go to easily. At the end of the day though, the 30-40 minute drive isn't too bad when its something you really want to go to and plan for.
That's... a thing. I am filled with awe.
> if a system component like Gnome is crashing, there will be neither log records or crash dumps and you will never figure out why it crashed

On Fedora you can use ABRT (AKA Problem Reporting) to view logs and tracebacks of a component that has crashed, and report the problem via Bugzilla. Also, GNOME isn't a system component, Fedora would still work without it, but it would use a TTY terminal instead.
I mean, I also mostly “messed around” at that age and didn’t really consistently program so I probably wouldn’t say that either. But I wouldn’t rule out the possibility that Fabien Sanglard did.

"The important question to be asking is: How much of this CapEx build out is linked to true end-customer demand, and how much of it is being built in anticipation of future end-customer demand? This is the $200B question."

This is an amusingly incorrect question. It presupposes AI as if it was a technology like any other, which it isn't. It's deeply transformative. Money actually doesn't matter here.

As a bit of a meta conversation, I'm a bit torn over book summaries as articles.

I've suffered through many books that had a very good message, but should have been 20% as long as they were. Much repetition in every possible spot, just to end up with a book of a respectable length that people don't feel bad spending $15 on. Comprehensive summaries are a great way to get around that.

On the other hand, these summaries are (by definition) derivative works that serve almost entirely as just distillations of the book. There's some opinion rolled in, but the description of the source material goes far beyond a book review to the point that it could be seen as a time- and money-saving replacement. If I were an author, I wouldn't be happy that my book was interpreted by a random third party, let alone that many folks will assume they got the value from the work and won't buy it.
The one sentence that isn't meaningful to the text, and that's the one you wish to comment on?

Responding to you and not the submitter because I'm not sure what they mean either:

An AI that generates binaries directly is a compiler. Or a compiler/assembler/linker in one, whatever.

So it raises the question of what language humans should use to communicate with this compiler. What language does it compile?

If the language is some existing programming language, then how can the "AI" technology help much? Suppose it compiles C. The semantics of the existing language have to be maintained or it isn't C. So maybe AI can improve optimization by 0.0001%. Or do something really ridiculous based on the undefined behavior loophole. Who cares?

English (or Chinese or Norwegian) are not programming languages - they are too ambiguous.

Therefore it makes sense to me that a higher-level programming language than existing ones would be useful to talk to this hypothetical compiler - a language that gives the AI more freedom than the existing languages, but more precise than languages used by humans to talk to each other.

Maybe someone already has invented one, but probably the last word hasn't been written on the subject yet.
You'd imagine they have a learned a bit since then. And it's underground.
I've been using marijuana for too long for it to have that effect on me unfortunately, but actual psychedelics are great at expanding the mind. If you can find someone that you trust to be a 'sitter' (at least for the first couple of times), it can be a life changing experience with positive long-term effects. Micro dosing psilocybin has been starting to show positive results in trials in recent years.
The problem I have with this is that my thoughts come 10 or 20 times quicker than I can write them down. And while doing this writing exercise I’ll have meta-thoughts about the writing and the exercise. The thoughts hopelessly outrun the writing, and also the train of thoughts will be wildly different from what it would be when not attempting to write it down. I guess one still learns something from the exercise, but it’s quite a frustrating experience.
Not to mention that if you run 10 apps daily and have 50 more installed, you really don't want to be running 40 different versions of GTK/QT/whatever.
Thank you. I’ll pass this on to the team.
> I wonder how hard it would be to run your own streamer pipeline or whatnot on these things?

Agree with the_biot: The actual streaming component is not too hard. If this were the biggest problem, I'd be thrilled to contribute to (or just write) an open source streaming server to complement my open source NVR. [1] The driver situation is indeed a bit harder—these things don't just have mainline Linux support with v4l2 for the video capture and encoding. Or open source drivers of any kind to crib from AFAIK.

The biggest problem IMHO is that there just aren't any good cameras to buy, even completely ignoring the software aspect. I want a camera that:

1. doesn't support genocide. Nothing that involves Dahua, Hikvision, or Huawei. See IPVM articles on the subject. And a lot of available cameras are relabeled Dahua/Hikvision stuff and/or use Huawei components.

2. is legal for sale / authorized for use in the US. (See the Secure Equipment Act of 2021.) Mostly this excludes the same companies.

3. has good night mode performance: IR/day switch, a sensor that is at least 1/1.8", reasonable resolution (somewhere from HD to 4k).

4. has an "eyeball" or "turret" form factor rather than "bullet". The latter seems to really attract spiders, so you end up with a really nice video of a web...

5. supports PoE.

6. is weatherized (IP54 or so).

7. is reasonably priced.

If you ignore #1 and #2, there's some nice hardware out there, but I'm not willing to do that. If you ignore #3, there are a few options (GeoVision, maybe Reolink, maybe Hanwha.) If you ignore #4 and #7, there might be a couple (Axis, maybe Hanwha.) Nothing that ticks all the boxes.

Hard to get excited about investing a lot in the software when the hardware isn't there.

>it sets up a perverse incentive.

how so. It's already the incentive to work. If you require more work and more of a employee's time, you pay more money. It's not that complicated.

In the same vein, there's expected business hours, so requiring a business to operate outside of those require more money. If they need that sort of timely response off hours, they pay more money too. So the incentive should be "try to call us during business hours or wait for a response".

If we end up developing AGI, computer science itself will become useless since all economic progress will be driven by businesses using their own AGI to develop software. It won't matter in the same way nobody designs microchips by hand anymore.
That seems like the typical pattern? City when you're young, move to the suburbish place when you have a family, and back to the city (in a different neighborhood) when you're retired.

For retirees, especially when driving is a problem, all the service, transportation, etc. can be great. Also, you have time again for all the fun and want activity, unlike people raising a family who barely have time to sleep.
Yes, different people have different desires when it comes to their living situation. Your comment does however come across as dismissive of living outside of a city. “Parks” for instance…from my experience, a city would not be where I’d first look for this.

Fair point. Perhaps also worth noting that an "end-to-end" test has been performed by the US exactly once.
This would be a great plot opener for a thriller book:

The testing reveals that none of initial batch of warheads tested work. Worry spreads throughout the scientists as they broaden the testing none of the warheads work.

There is full on panic now that the entire US nuclear deterrent has evaporated. If foreign powers found out, the US and all nations under the nuclear umbrella would be subject to blackmail.
I think it still helps if you remove it from Watch History. And the "Not interested" and "Don't recommend channel" can help, if nothing else, to feel like you're doing something.

Yes because you bought the ticket from ÖBB so they are responsible for refunds too.
It's still a Train operated by MAV (and you also can buy tickets from them directly) and the ÖBB Nightjet Website explicitly tells you:
"Der Umfang und die Qualität der Serviceleistungen in einem EuroNight Zug und das eingesetzte Wagenmaterial weichen vom Angebot des ÖBB Nightjets ab."
"The scope and quality of the services in a Euronight train and the car material used deviate from the ÖBB Nightjet offers"

So no, you didn't rode an ÖBB Train

It's not really unknown: it's really high and you better hope you don't mess up or you're dead/maimed. Sure here the “don't mess up“ happens mostly at design/build time instead of during the execution, but at the end of the day you're risking your life hoping you're not making a mistake. That's definitely not for everyone.
> I feel like they probably should diversify their offer and make both cheaper and more expensive models.

They are already kind of doing this by still producing and selling the old models, on the page for the 3b there is this obsolescence statement:

> Raspberry Pi 3 Model B will remain in production until at least January 2028

https://www.raspberrypi.com/products/raspberry-pi-3-model-b/

I can find the 3b for around 40€ new, under 30€ used, which for me is kind of ideal, I don’t have a lot of interest in the more expensive models.
Yeah and having a decent backyard can fill a lot of those days too.

Also lots to do outside the city of you like nature.

Well, he does call programming whatever he did.

In '83 they have sold 5 million computers according to the wikipedia[1], I am sure tens of thousands of 6 year olds started programming on them.

The change is unmanaged. The question is whether they are starting businesses that provide some semblance of the quality of life and opportunity people from here had planned to make for themselves or not, and whether the government has just sold the locals out for foreign political donations. We don't solve inequality by importing more of it.
Good. If this goes through I hope the employee walks. They clearly want workers who can do those hours and they need to renegotiate that. be it with existing employees or new ones (who are likely going to cost more, plus time to train. Buf if a company wants to cut off its nose to spite the face, go for it).
A tweet with a fake headline now looks exactly the same as a real headline. Previously the headline was pulled directly from the link so it was much harder to make a realistic fake
I don't think the driving force of this change is either aesthetics or gov't policy. I think Musk is trying to maximizing Twitter's time on site and if you remove the headlines (and add 5 second delays on link redirects), it decreases the click-through rate on the links. Musk knows that if he outlaws all non-paid links, it would result in an uproar from media companies and users, so he is making the experience as bad as possible so people choose to stop linking out on their own.
>The amount of expected social security payments is independent.

This is the kind of economic theory that loses people. It’s like what economists say deficit spending doesn’t matter because a govt isn’t like a person. It certainly matters if confidence in the system matters.

The fact that you acknowledge the money comes from side other source implies there’s a tradeoff. There’s no free lunch here, regardless how creative the accounting gets.

i'm the same. i don't understand why some fellow programmers need multiple monitors: one is already plenty enough for me.

And also post-cancer meds. Since we are treating cancers rather successfully and in high numbers now, instead of letting those people die, these people usually need to take some medicine for the whole remaining life to compensate for the failing organ.
