I think the initial assumption comes from emotion. Humans are not dual creatures with frontend and backends that must communicate through an API between their emotions and thoughts. Emotions and thoughts are actually phenomenon in simultaneous occurrence-- your thoughts can trigger emotions (planning what to do after being laid off can trigger anxiety) and your emotions can trigger thoughts (you're anxious, so you consider putting planning off and binge a show/movie).

Fear of the "other" is clearly an emotion, but all the justifications, reasons, and overall narratives about the "other" are thoughts.

I think there is a certain skill in being a go-to person in such a way you regularly unblock other people, but also respect your own time and ambitions.

Are you constantly being asked how a system works? Take some time to document it, and then answer future questions by just linking to those docs. It's harder up front, but saves you time in the long run, and also mean that come performance review time you can say "I wrote this documentation <link>!" instead of having to vaguely claim that you definitely answered a lot of questions for a lot of people.

Of course, some companies don't respect that sort of work. I would struggle to be happy at those places.

Stanford AI Group Finds GPT4 Not Robust as Medical Co-Pilot
This is not a LLM.

This is an AI in maybe the more traditional/popsci sense. A digital robot. It not just understands its perceptions (like an LLM), but it acts on that understanding to achieve its goal(s).

The reinforcement learning aspect is simply how it learns its goals. It takes a database of "good bot" / "bad bot" feedback and associated context, and implicitly learns what it should do.

I'm curious what alternative ways there are to consume Wikipedia. I was poking around to see how feasible a local mirror would be, or at least a self-hosted mirror. It'd be especially interesting if there were ways to "patch in" alternative versions of articles on top of a mirrored based on pluggable feeds, for people who feel Wikipedia is biased on some topics and want to have a seamless experience in which most articles are taken from the base but others are forkde. Sort of like a github but for the wiki.

From looking at the dumps, it does seem feasible to have a custom browser app that's capable of quickly looking up and navigating around articles either mirrored locally or on a self-hosted Linux VM. Combined with RAG and local LLMs it might be especially interesting.

Excessive executive compensation is unnecessary and steals value from shareholders and employees. Tech execs, even middle management, are wildly overcompensated for the value they bring compared to the engineers.

Yes, and yes! I believe you're starting to see. Good management has value. Even if that is to deflect invalid criticism for devs.
Volunteer editors/mods are clearly also getting something out of doing it, even if not monetary, and they’re free to stop whenever they want. It’s completely up to them to decide if what they’re getting is worth the effort.

Editors/mods are not dumb and they understand they’re creating content on sites that belong to others. Small contributions to something that would have never received any attention now at least have a chance of being seen by others. The trade off is not getting paid, or maybe better stated as the payment is the site providing storage, network, search, etc. for that user’s content.
It's more "already handled" than missing. Gas stations already often advertise a cash price and paying by credit gives you a higher price which includes the markup. It's perhaps the most commonly used type of business that bothers to do this because the margins are so thin.
> Hardly as many recent TCP/IP features aren't fully exposed by POSIX socket API, rather OS specific APIs.

It's the same API. Some of the calls have OS-specific flags that can be passed as options. The way this often goes is that the flag then gets added to a future version of the standard.

> POSIX also doesn't have anything to say about hypervisors, containers, kubernetes infrastructure, or unikernels.

You keep listing different layers of abstraction. When the host goes to open the disk image file for the guest, pretty good chance it's using open(2) etc.

> Nor it says anything about infrastructure written in Go, Java, .NET, Rust, C++.

It's extremely common for C++ code to use C system calls directly, or thin wrappers around them, e.g. to have a socket class that calls close(2) in the destructor. Likewise for other languages:

https://docs.rs/posix-socket/latest/posix_socket/

You can say this "isn't POSIX" because the POSIX standard describes using it in C, but meanwhile the same library implementation and anything using it would be able to run on any POSIX system.

Why is this outrageous... Large non profit execs salaries need to be high enough to attract talent good enough to run operations of that size.

Oil and gas can be thought of as a giant battery. In both batteries and hydrocarbons, energy is held by chemical bonds. We can either break the bonds (burn it) to get energy out, or reform them by putting sufficient energy back in under the right conditions (usually high pressure).

Thus, we're discharging earth's hydrocarbon battery right now, but if we eventually have surplus energy, perhaps via sufficient solar, or nuclear, we could relatively easily pull carbon out of the air and sequester that carbon, either back into hydrocarbons or into some other carbon-based molecules.

First you would need to define a measure of inferiority.

I'm pretty sure we have measured some very spicific things, and found that different races on average have some genetic advantages and disadvantages. Is saying that Asians are disadvantaged in milk drinking competitions making society worse? Also, because humans are diverse, differences between individuals within any racial group can be far greater than differences between races.

And if you compare men and women, the differences are much much bigger, and the comparisons much more frequent - you can barely turn on the TV or open up any social media without seeing them.

So, ultimately - so what?

Power/heat matters for datacenters, but not for people. Yes, you can built a kw desktop, but you know you're doing something weird. For most people, their computer's peak dissipation has been falling for a decade. 90W cpus used to be common, but mainstream is currently going from 65 to 40W categories in desktops. And normal people do not have GPUs. Even more normal people depend primarily on mobile devices, where 15W laptops are routine, and lots of people use devices <4W.
