> I'm calling it a rounding error in comparison to a future advanced AI

Maybe what you imagine future AI will be like, we don't know even what AI will be capable of in 2024. My counter point is that if there is a sensation, emotion or choice that is notable enough, surely it has been described in words many times over. Everything is in the text corpus.

What makes humans superior to AI is not language mastery, but feedback. We get richer, more immediate feedback, and get it from the physical world, from our tools and other people. AI has nobody to ask except us, until recently didn't get to use tools and embodiment is not there yet.

Another missing ability in current gen LLMs is continual learning. LLMs can only do RAG and shuffle information around in limited length prompts. There is no proper long term memory except the training process, not even fine-tuning is good enough to learn new abilities.

So the main issues of AI are memory and integration into the environment, they are already super-aligned to humanity by learning to model text. We already know LLMs are great at simulating opinion polls[1], you just have to prompt the model with a bunch of diverse personas. They are aligned to each and every type of human.

we've a pretty robust compliance team to verify and make sure that our APIs reflect the latest regulatory requirements and state/fed thresholds. we also always go back to the source, ie read all the applicable state & federal laws to cross check everything. i can talk all day about Michigan's Act of Credit 1942 lol

bcus of this, our customers lean on us heavily for compliance - we replace at least 0.5-1 compliance headcount for them, plus all the legal dollars...
The trimmed mean and Winsorized mean are both super useful in monitoring and metrics systems. In most cases you don't actually want the median but you also don't want the extreme outliers to throw everything off with a mean.

Both methods give you better metrics for comparing periodically, like day over day or week over week.
Thanks, that's helpful.

Amazon famously built the company with OBIDOS, a monolith; these days, backend microservices abound — as do what we’re calling here microfrontends, although my understanding is at AMZN they are granular not just to market-specific domains or route prefixes, but sometimes also to pre-defined sections of a final rendered page. Would love to hear from AMZN engineers that work on such things.

The pill is an antiviral called ensitrelvir. It sounds similar to Paxlovid. Both are protease inhibitors which slow/disrupt viral replication. It may help with other symptoms.

In an earlier nature.com post..
"participants who took 125-milligram ensitrelvir pills recovered from five specific symptoms — stuffy or runny nose, sore throat, cough, feeling hot or feverish and low energy or tiredness — about 24 hours earlier than did those in the control group"

"I have the impression that it might not take a lot to fix what’s missing."

The history of the field is full of people saying this, and then eventually realizing that it does indeed take a lot to fix what's missing. Right now I think we have stumbled on a novel and interesting result, which is that if you statistically collate all of the text in the world then a computer can also generate text that encodes many of the statistical relations present in that text. But I have yet to hear a plausible argument for how this translates to intelligence except that people have an impression that it's "close", never mind that we don't have any stable definition for what it's close to.

There are many other blockers, including fully free ones. I pay the trivial cost for 1Blocker because I want to support regular updates of blocking rules, and because it has one of the most extensive initial sets. They were also among the first to adopt the dynamic blocking for things like YouTube ads when the capability was added to Safari blockers in 2022.

If you're driving a delivery truck in a residential neighborhood, most of the people around you are at FAR more risk than you are.

Man, I've never even considered imagining the year as a circle. It's always been linear for me (with future and past years connected to it on either end). I do imagine cycles over the linear model, but these appear more like overlapping sine waves than circles.
Honestly I would prioritize building the game using your natural (today's) intuition.

I think you gain the best experience when you make mistakes and become intimately familiar with what it was like to write and edit a codebase with those mistakes, especially since you don't yet know what those mistakes are.

Only then do you really internalize advice and better solutions because you can perceive the exact problems that the better code is solving.
Same here. I came in on the back end of having to write your own engine from scratch (not just 3D, but general graphics.) MOV AX, 13h; INT 10h will forever be burned into my memory.

The transition was definitely odd. What brought it around for me was when fr-08 was released and the broader scene realized what _could_ be done with procedural generation and whatnot.
The first time I realized I had Covid, I was doing laundry and noticed that the bleach I was using had no smell. However, over time my sense of smell did return.

The current Covid strain spreading in the US no longer has the loss of the sense of smell as such a common symptom.

In Greg Egan's diaspora, they touch on things like this.

I can't remember specifically but at one point they encounter a planet where there is some process that is turning complete, and they realize an entire universe is simulated in the process with sentient beings that they can never communicate with.

I can't remember the details so I'm butchering it a little, but it's a great read.

Diaspora and Permutation City also touch on the topic of speeding up or slowing down conscious so that millenia pass in subjective seconds, or a subjective second passes in a millisecond, etc.

This is not valid logic. "Making an example" changes the state of the world, part of which form inputs to us whether we are "robots" or not.

Arguing that changing these inputs can't make any difference without free will is equivalent to arguing the output of a deterministic function can't change if its input changes.

Here is an example of a function for which that is wrong:

f(x) -> x

It's a 100% deterministic function, yet its output changes with its input.

Just adding an option that worked for me: clojure, with its philosophy of making things simple [0] (as opposed to easy, as in "easy to get started but turns into a mess"). There are some exciting new developments out there (see rama [1] and electric clojure [2]), but the composability of the language makes these feel like additive ideas rather than "throw everything out and start from scratch".

Disclosure that I'm closer to full stack/generalist than frontend engineer.

Have you tried not going to conferences? I'm saying that with a good bit of sarcasm, but frankly look at where a lot of these things occur and who speaks at them. They occur in huge cities that curiously have beaucoup tech companies; companies that we know incentivize promotion based on things like "personal brand" and new project development as opposed to impact. Companies that often time give lots of money to those same conferences.

My point here is that conferences today are inherently inorganic and you'd get a lot more value reading long form blogs and going to meet ups to talk to people about the curious problems they have.

I could be perfectly content with a traditional up/down physical light switch. But depending on the smart bulbs you choose, there's a lot of really cool features that might make it worth it to you despite the slightly more complex setup. And additionally, you can set up physical switches for these devices too.

Imho the web has done ferocious damage to modularization with its history of "global everything". css classes are global, element ids are global, the root Javascript namespace is global. This made constructing modular web code aggressively difficult, and only now we've got technologies that make modular components in the web manageable. That's a lot of historical velocity to overcome.

All these nonsense approaches like "microfrontends" feel like they're still fighting that war.

We're finally at the point there reasonable isolated components are totally doable within the web platform. We just need to lay down the rules for good practice to keep the inherent globalness of the web from creeping back in and ruining everything.

As a hacker of more than a decade, none of this really gives me pause. There's still critical sev bugs in tools like Ray, MLflow, H2O, all the MLOps tools used to build these models that are more valuable to hackers than trying to do some kind of roundabout attack through an LLM.

It's relevant if you're doing stuff like AutoGPT and you're exposing that app to the internet to take user commands, but are we really seeing that in the wild? How long, if ever, will me? Ray does remote, unauthenticated command execution and is vulnerable to JS drive-by attacks. I think we're at least a few years away from any of the adversarial ML attacks having any teeth.

I've been really tempted to get one and really hesitant for exactly the reasons. I'll wait, but I think Rivian is doing exactly what they need to be doing. The vehicles are on the road and they're reaching economies of scale. You can't be a car company if you're not selling cars. If the repairs and parts are affordable but you can't get the car in your driveway then it literally doesn't matter one way or the other. Scaling up isn't a problem that can't be solved from where they are now, and I think it could be done within the span of a year.
Again, I don't see how you're strongly distinguishing failure from extreme volatility? What makes an investment vehicle successful?

And perhaps, more do the point -- why is BTC maintaining a pretty high price?

Your point on liquidity only stands if you presume what I think a lot of people incorrectly presume: which is, crypto as an alternative to day-to-day currency (edit: or perhaps other generally designed-to-be-liquid thing). Which, I agree with most, it will almost certainly NEVER be.

But that doesn't exclude the possibility of crypto as long-term investment/hedge against inflation.

I wouldn't necessarily argue that "crypto in the future will definitely be a big and useful thing," but I think it's wildly premature to call it dead.
A few releases back they replaced the python parser with a more capable PEG parser. At the time nothing really changed, but it was done to enable this kind of improvement and make it practical to evolve the syntax over time.

This change isn't so much done for the sake of being able to next quotes in f-strings, it's done because there was a dedicated extra parser for the python syntax inside f-strings, but with the new parser this can be parsed without this special case extra parser.

It's all to manage technical debt.

Yes, some screen readers such as JAWS can be configured to use a different voice to represent bold text, for example. They can also use non-speech sounds to represent things such as HTML elements.

One of the things that really blew my mind is just how fast a proficient screen reader user can crank up the speed, e.g. https://soundcloud.com/freecodecamp/zersiaxs-screen-reader. It's totally unintelligible to me, and doesn't even sound much like human speech.

If you're no longer constrained by the speed and sound of normal speech all kinds of other interesting audio representations become possible.

Here in the UK I believe the full training to become a qualified bricklayer takes 2-3 years.

So "relatively easy" has to depends on the quality and specifics of the end result... for instance, here in the UK, most houses are 100% bricks and visible ones on the outside, and the result is flawless (definitely not 'easy' to achieve) and lasts for literally centuries.

A lack of rain resistance won't kill you suddenly. If mud brick or cave technology were so amazing, we'd all be living that way still.

The Lidl near me in London has a similar issue. There are 14 self-checkout stations, but they're mostly broken all the time (and the store is only about two years old, it's not like they're ancient technology). The most I've ever seen functional at once is 9. One day it was down to only 5 working at all and those were having some issue with NFC payments (if you had an actual card, it was fine, but everyone wants to use Apple pay on their phone now) and they only had one cashier working.
I bet the people making the argument at that time were convinced they were "thinking people."

23andMe is one of my biggest regrets in my life, I did it before I really started caring about privacy. It was on sale on Amazon and yeah.

It sucks since I have zero trust that they would actually delete my data if I asked them too, and even if they do is that data still living somewhere fed into some model or research or whatever.

I hate to say that there is a part of me that kinda doesn't want to know if my data is a part of this, this just feels different than a credit card or some shopping data leaking.

Even worse since I have not gone to 23andme in a while, I feel like this was likely also before I cared about proper password security so it would not surprise me.
Honestly, Java has a lot going for it. Amazing library ecosystem. Simple to learn, like Go but with essential quality-of-life improvements. Community without PLT sadists. Fast as all hell when written with care. Vast variety of jobs. Super-polished dev tooling.

I know there problems too (verbose, OOP and enterprise over-design, some horrible legacy systems) but Java is as strong as ever I think.
