Huh, fast? Sure, it's fast enough for its use cases, but it is not fast.

Maybe because HTMX fits all the principles listed by the author? Or because it's specifically referenced in the article (3 times)?

Have you tried the new Assistants API for your front-end test? In my experience it is _significantly_ better than just plain ol’ ChatGPT for code generation.
We are in word games here about zero shot learning.

The fact is that with zero shot the models actually aren't learning in the sense of updating their knowledge structure, they are instead using background knowledge as inference. We have started calling it zero-shot learning but... well it isn't really.
Monarchs go one step further in that there are 3-5 generations that have effectively distinct migratory and reproductive patterns. One generation migrates north from Mexico to the northern US, 1-3 continue north, and the final one flies back to effectively the same place in Mexico.

intel used to sell cheap core solos back in the core duo days, which were just duos where one of the cores was faulty so they disabled it.

Same with the F model (no iGPU) chips today. People have done teardowns and found that more often than not its there on the die, just disabled because its faulty.
Nah, "I accidentally" came way after "lol". I remember using "lol" as a kid on MSN/ICQ/IRC and "I accidentally" wasn't around until I was a teen at the earliest.

That's incorrect, and at this point, it seems like you either don't know Medium or are engaging in gaslighting here. The Medium paywall is not always a choice, as Medium has placed many stories behind it without the creators' consent and doesn't pay everyone either. Furthermore, you guys display those paywall ads on all articles now. I'm not referring to the OP's case but speaking generally. Although it does seem that Clive, being a blogger, is apparently under a secret contract with Medium to write premium content for the website.
It's better to have a diagnosis either way to be honest. If you have it and were undiagnosed for decades, you will finally have an answer to why you're different, and as some that took medication for the first time, it can finally go quiet in your head.

And if you don't have it, then you can look at other causes for your problems. Because nobody (and/or their dog) will think they have ADHD unless they have identified a problem first.
But humans know when "is" means equal.
Getting things done was written by someone with adhd, the entire system is one big coping strategy for not having a functioning working memory.
The problem isn't the law, it's enforcement. We can't prove wrong doing in most cases because who made what decisions with what information is often intentionally obfuscated. This is a good example. DuPont almost certainly knew these chemicals posed a long term risk to human health, and DuPont chose to keep manufacturing them and making money with them, but we can't arrest DuPont. Instead we have to prove that individuals within DuPont did the above, but no single person (or collection of coconspirators) is likely to be proven to commit the above crime.
I have diagnosed ADHD and I do not have social media (besides HN), distracting apps or anything. I just have stock GrapheneOS on my phone, no extra distractions.
This helps tremendously but doesn't really affect the core issues of adhd, which are a lack of focus when that is needed. Note that it's not a general lack of focus and not a lack of discipline. People with ADHD often fall into depression because they cannot focus well enough even with the right discipline and motivation.
And?

At least our information won't easily cross those territorial boundaries.
They seriously went to all that trouble to turn that phrase into an "intelligent" abbreviation that actually works?

I think this “wisdom” is not really agreed upon, and in fact I’ve seen a few works successfully leverage synthetic data (including a cool one from Sergey Levine et al recently).
Space colonization is going to be a pain. We've just managed to get sensible datetime APIs with instants and zoned timestamps, but they only work when time is the same everywhere. As soon as relativity comes into play we'll have to come up with a different approach.
Friends and I were drinking about 40 years ago and my best friend confessed he had become a christian. Drunkenness is not exactly very christian but we were teenagers and my friend had just become a christian. Just before going to sleep on my friends sofa I prayed to myself, "Jesus, if you are out there, will you come into my life?"

I have travelled and worked all over the world because of my christian faith. More importantly I met the most wonderful woman who shares the same values. We have two wonderful adult children now. Having left home at 17, feeling bruised by life, I can't believe how things have worked out.So my idea is an old one, there is a God. I am now in my 50s and still talk to God. I was asking him this morning to help my work team as the management want to shut our department down. Hopefully the peace God gives me will help me in my discourse with my very anxious colleagues.
this is the true answer. everyone wants to have their cake and eat it too. working in norway it is almost impossible to convince a norwegian to work a startup because they simply have ingrained in them that they will get a job and start a family and go to cabin to go skiing and nothing inside of them says "if i work hard good things will happen." It is simply that they exist. Sure it is possible to find people who do work hard and pursue interesting careers. But there is not the hunger or the drive that you find in other places like silly valley, shenzen, taipei, etc.

Insurance won't get you out of jail or pay your fine for you. But your point is valid for civil damages, like getting sued by the family of the pedestrian you just killed with your truck.

I wonder how much of an effect those hypothetical lawsuits have on downstream insurance premiums — anecdotally, it hasn't stopped the F-150 being the most popular car in North America.
“Modern Compiler Implementation” by Appel is definitely worth a look. I read the ML version, and the code is really clean/readable (not sure about the C and Java versions).

If you decide to homeschool, do it because it is good for your kids, not because it would have been good for you.

The factors that made school terrible for you may make it terrible for your kids. Or they may not. Make the decision based on your kids' situations, not on what yours was.
I think Slack is a silent killer of productivity, and terrible for an ADHD brain:

You're either "engaged" and "available" (meaning you respond to messages in semi-real-time, pretty much nixing your ability to do deep work) or you feel like you're missing a lot of conversation that's going on behind your back, because you're heads down with Slack closed. Slack is good for (shitty) managers of remote teams, because you can see who's "in the office", and randomly ping people when your lack of planning skills means that you are working on something that you forgot to get an answer for in a deliberate way (instead of buzzing by their cube as you used to do)...but for developers I think it's a poor bargain.

There are better tools out there that encourage and support async workflows. Twist, Basecamp, Github discussions, even email with appropriate filters.
This sentence no verb
There's an opportunity to build a completely different technology.

LLM's have a specific architecture that makes them good at approximate retrieval. They have a specific learning process that makes them able to do this over a vast training set.

Doing things like reasoning about facts is possible using either symbolic or specific sub symbolic structures, but combining these with an LLM is a bit tricky. It's something that could be done for a demo in a 6hr/day/week project (depends on the demo) but to do it for real in an application... or as a robust bit of science... well... 6 people for 6 mths/years/?
That's interesting, I found it actually helps with my sleep. As it wears off (around the end of the work day) I feel pretty tired. Plus I no longer need to drink coffee to get through the day, so I think the lack of caffeine helps too.
And that is actually a good thing, at least as far as climate change is concerned. In the West, it is about existing power plants and energy mixes. In those developing countries tjose nuclear plants actually replace yet-to-be-built coal and other fossil fuel plants. If they are finished fast enough, that is. And operated safely.
When I was doing research, I was bothered by the date not being anywhere in papers (PDFs).

You'd have to search the title of the paper with the names of the authors on the internet, figure out which version you are reading and find out the year of the publication using dblp [1] or finding out in which journal or conference it was published.

Yet, it's so important to actually know when something was written.

"A woman considered to be sexually provocative or promiscuous; a slut or whore" (Dictionary.com)

"A girl who is looked at as a hoe or slut." (Urban Dictionary)

"A slut, a woman who is sexually promiscuous." (Wiktionary)

"A promiscuous woman" (Collins)

Nowhere does it say a thot "attracts and extracts money from lonely boys". The behavior of a "thot" is not immoral, she is simply sexually active / promiscuous. Using this term in a derogatory manner is misogynistic, just like "slut". Downvote me all you want.
Pretty slick. So the whole UI is generated using Dash? It works quite well on desktop but on mobile it's pretty hard to use, definitely could benefit from some media queries to make it more responsive. Anyway, I could see this being useful if you're trying to get an overview on a new complex library.
The two main mobile forms are highly optimized for different tasks: the caterpillar for eating and storing energy, the butterfly for moving long distances and mating. It’s so elegant and really quite a marvel of evolution.

The problem it solves is that the butterfly’s wings are so big they take a vast amount of material and energy to grow. If you imagine an alternate reality where butterflies hatch fully formed from tiny eggs and begin to fly around right away, you begin to see the problem: those winged creatures could never eat enough material to grow the huge wings of an adult butterfly. The caterpillar solves this problem neatly by shedding the wings and just focusing on eating in order to store as much energy as possible.

If you think about it, the butterfly is really just an animal that copies the (spatial) lifecycle of wind-dispersed plants. The imago phase (adult butterfly) follows the mobile seeds of a dandelion or maple tree. The caterpillar in turn stays with the rooted plant and feasts on it for material and energy. Butterflies are themselves pollinators of plants which illustrates how valuable a role dispersal is.
Yes. Excel macros mostly these days. Used to do Access database projects but they are slowly being phased out by Power BI.
>>But there's still no solution for safely storing or disposing of nuclear waste, so all those power plants currently have a stockpile of spent fuel rods,

There is, we know what it is, but no one wants to pay for it - it's called deep borehole storage. You basically put your fuel in cylinders, dig boreholes few miles deep, put all the waste at the bottom, done. It's not coming back ever, it doesn't pose any danger to anything or anyone on anything other than geological timescales(and if the geology starts pushing stuff buried 5 miles deep to the surface you have other bigger problems to worry about).

It's estimated that "just" 800 boreholes would be enough to store all nuclear waste ever produced.

But yeah, cost is one thing, but the other is that this material then becomes truly and irreversibly irretrievable - which actually might not be desirable since we know that even spent nuclear fuel can be reprocessed to make more fuel or weapons, which is not something that countries like US would want to dismiss as a possibility.

And also - storage of spent nuclear fuel is actually a lot safer and less scary than most people think. In Netherlands they literally made a museum out of their spent fuel storage facility, you can walk in between the casks that hold material radioactive enough to kill you in minutes, it's that safe.

Microsoft added python and they have office scripts that run JS.

But the functionality is locked to higher tiers of 365 accounts. So I guess VBA is still the king.
You’re at work. Sure, there’s Slack - but dial the notifications down as much as you can. Almost none of us need access to social tools in that time. If you can’t help yourself then do what developers do and use tech to stop you reaching for those things.
I just want to offer an alternative perspective because I think it’s important not to discourage people who might be put off trying meds because of the potential downside. Once I had the dosage, and importantly a second dose at mid day dialed in, my sleep actually improved. My sleep problems were caused by adhd, so having it be treated as I was winding down for the night was a huge improvement in my ability to sleep.
One of the bigger things I've ever built was a massive set of tooling based upon Excel + VBA + proprietary API. The old days ('00s). The best thing of developing in VBA was that the API was properly documented. Any function had documentation via VBA, plus via the primary tooling, plus via big old books. On top of that I had a premium support line to the developers of the API as I seemingly was one of the few worldwide actually using it. Heck, even a professor that showed up in the documentation was kind enough to help me for a bit. A shitty, but high-paid job for 10 FTE was reduced to a one-person show where the main job was adding intellect, not pay-for-clicks. Probably still is a one-person show. It's the one thing Python and R never achieved for me (note - I am lowly skiled at his): object oriented programming that helped, not hindered.
So far it is still the most convenient tool to automate MS Office, and you can do a lot with COM.
> I can control what I use at home. I can't when I eat or drink out.

Of course you can, just pack a lunch. If your trip is longer than a day, then stop at grocery stores instead of restaurants. It's easy to avoid restaurants, so the failure to replicate this finding with residential dishwashers is good news. How could it be "even worse"?
Agreed, but I’m also someone who thinks dryer sheets are a scam as well.
One of my first paid jobs was in the summer of my college freshman year, 1988, I did some consulting work for an insurance salesman. He had an ibm 8086 based machine and it was taking 15 hours to run an insurance estimate.

I got him an 8087 math coprocessor and it reduced the time to about 10 minutes. I think it cost around $500 at the time.

I made my first $50 in tech, an his business was demonstrably improved. What a thrill!

LOVED that game when I was a small child, even if it went over my head and I had to play together with an older neighbour. It came with 10 other games in a CD when my father purchased our first CD-ROM reader, together with a Soundblaster. The memories! Thanks for the memory lane trip!

Edit: apparently mine was the IBM PC remake!
I don't take it myself either. I've always been afraid of the cardiovascular risks associated with stimulants. I've seen recent research suggesting it doesn't increase risk but still.

The medicine completely cured me though.
Fingers crossed an AI secretary will double (or more) my productivity.
It’s fast and resource-efficient in that it doesn’t need to start up a comprehensive extra runtime environment like the CLR, and doesn’t need double the memory like GC languages tend to do, and is faster than many interpreted languages due to its P-code and its tight native integration, not needing an additional interop layer to communicate with its environment.
But the AI doesn't refuse to work unless you're polite. If my manager is polite with me, I'll have more morale and work a little harder. I'll also be more inclined to look out for my manager's interests- "You've asked me to do X, but really what you want is Y" vs. "Fine, you told me to do X, I'll do X". I don't think my manager is submitting to me when they're polite and get better results; I'm still the one who does things when I'm told.

I think the reason for this is that high rents stimulate construction. If you do a bivariate time series analysis with annual average rents and construction levels, I don't think you will find that increased construction raises rents.

I invest in real estate investment trusts (REITs). Analyst reports on apartment REITs project future rents inversely based on construction. Analysts believe that more apartment construction tends to lower rents.

It's usually possible to hover the thing to have the actual timestamp show in a tooltip, but this is so clunky.

> Advertising should be as general as possible - microtargeting people in a democracy is extraordinarily dangerous.

I don’t understand how that follows.

Your examples of microtargeting seem helpful since they speak to how politician Foo appeals in ways relevant to a particular segment. Instead of unknown-likelihood inference of how the politician would operate because of some associations, a voter would be able to make an informed choice based on what is significant to them.

The alternative to some level of targeting or relevancing is broad branding exercises like “Coke is it” or “Team Blue protects you—team red wants you dead.”
This works on a micro level in companies where groupthink has taken hold, but also at a macro level where our media exalts sycophancy. Privilege for mouthing orthodoxies describes "the banality of evil," well. It was a reference to people who thought in slogans and recieved clichés, which dulled them to the consequences of what they were actually doing.

Coining new phrases to respond to the present may shed some light for younger people who lack perspective, but it doesn't capture the gravity of what we're watching happen. There are precedents with strong predictive power for all of this.

Instead of taking many notes I just only use the daily notes. Its basically one continuous stream that also represents the stream of time.
So I could very easily scroll down a few days to see what I did then and if I need to look something up (I have all the days in one continuous view).

Hi, author here,

You're right, but unfortunately, when your company uses it and teams are distributed, you don't have the choice, and you have to find some tricks to accommodate.
