I do not see how it would not? Appears to me that responding to exams is at once an expression and practice of the learning. It’s not as if a test situation is isolated from the overall learning process.

If a learner is not oriented towards written or read communication, their exam results may not reflect a written test. If a learner has problems with their practical skills being observed in action, a practical test may not reflect their actual skills or understanding.

The have the file provider (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/fileprovider/) API. It works by caching the remote files in a system managed cache in APFS. The idea is sound for for Dropbox, GDrive etc, but not a full replacement for FUSE. The nice thing is that it can keep the files locally pre-cached and replicate local changes asynchronously.

Personally, I am really happy to see the following items landing in Rails 8:

- Solid Queue & Cache by default (no need for Redis)

- Propshaft as default asset pipeline (retiring Sprockets)

- Basic auth generator (will Devise still be useful for new apps?)

- Kamal by default for new applications

Simplifying Web Development and even more sane defaults in Rails makes me really happy!
I don't think he is wrong. I also don't think the goal of LLMs is to reproduce human intelligence. That is, we don't need human-like inteligence in a box for a tool to be useful. So this assertion could be right and still miss the point of this tech in my opinion.

Edit: to expand, if the goal is AGI then yes we need all the help we can get. But even so, AGI is in a totally different league compared to human intelligence, they might as well be a different species.
>Go visit any location where cloud providers locate their data centers and you’ll see sprawling campuses of giant windowless concrete buildings surrounded by asphalt and tall fences. These sit on land carved out of huge destroyed forested areas. And all of them require extensive electrical networks which also clear natural areas and break up animal habitats.

Really? Compared to all the other space we use to put our human things, data centers are literally nothing. Insignificant. I'd grant you the electrical consumption argument, maybe but your point about their vastly destructive use of space is absurd.

When you read something you typically imagine a lot of examples that the thing you read could apply to. The way we train LLMs today doesn't do this, it just reads the text without thinking further about it. That means to make an LLM learn you have to feed it examples instead of descriptions, like examples of problems being solved etc.

Maybe we could make LLM training do such things in the future, but it doesn't do it today and it is hard to do that in practice since generating examples on the fly for descriptions isn't easy to do in an intelligent way. I think that is a core part of generalizing knowledge so probably one of the keys we need to get to AGI.

I think you need to work on the communication of what this does, and why it's different from data flow languages or spreadsheets. Putting formula in cells and using that to calculate things feels _very_ spreadsheet like, and having results depend on others feels _very_ data flow like.

Don't just say things like, "You can't program in spreadsheets," build examples showing what the other system can do and its limitations, and then show how what you've built can go further.
> Apple was offering an integrated product that it fully controlled and customers were fully aware of, and is thus, under U.S. antitrust law, free to set the price of entry however it chooses.

I'm no expert in US antitrust laws, but this statement makes no sense to me.

So I can basically establish an absolute monopoly by creating a product that I control entirely, with no support for 3rd-party providers for software, payments etc., which only supports hardware that is manufactured and certified by myself, and I can establish whatever entry price I want for it, as long as I'm very explicit that I'm selling a closed and monopolist product, and customers are aware of it?

If that's indeed the case, then the US antitrust laws are quite broken.
> But it is weird that we don't see better open source games, because good storytellers have no problems giving their work away for free. There is an overabundance of great writing on the internet. But taking a solid plot and turning it into a game engine just doesn't take.

Mh, I'm not a professional gamedev or such, but from 1-2 personal projects, some ludum dare interactions and also looking at the OpenRA project: Content is grind, and it's both easy to underestimate how much content is in games, and how much of a grind that content creation can be.

Like, if we stick with the Red Alert / Dune2+ universe. Initially after some design phase, you need to implement your mechanics, set the basics for your systems, implement the architecture how systems interact. This is very much what folk would call "interesting software development".

However, once you have that: You need to implement 30 units, paint them, add the units to your engine, create their behavior. There is some creativity involved here, but these are 30 very similar paint-by-number tasks. And then there are 2-3 * 20 maps to design, playtest and balance. Or 100 pushover levels to make, or 100 lost vikings levels. For example, the last time I was looking at it, OpenRA was still looking for mappers to setup some of the last maps from the different games - and not all of those levels were engine blocked.

Even look at the Return of the Obra Dinn. Look at the number of scenes you explore, the number of people you need to figure out. Even very optimistic estimations quickly run into weeks and months of similar kinded work.

I would suspect being in a group of a few people all excited about this project and/or needing the money it should make would make handling this easier.

And to be precise it is not the aspartame itself but its metabolisation into methanol, which is known to have toxic byproducts to the neurological development of a fetus. So what is surprising here isn't the effect itself (the wrong vaccines studies supposedly show a novel effect in comparison), but the fact that aspartame is the one of the biggest sources of methanol.

I think you are misunderstanding my point, I'm specifically referring to the "build 12 companies in 12 months" version of indie hacking that is really vocal on twitter and other places.

They usually build a landing page or bad prototype, wait for people to come, then move on to "the next startup" if it inevitably doesn't work. Their ideas usually don't have enough potential to sell, and if they do they don't take them far enough to actually realize even a fraction of the potential.

I love bootstrapped companies, I'm all for building side projects and turning them into jobs, but this movement has moved away from that and is now about selling the dream instead of the work.

It sounds like the person you know did not do this and actually created something valuable, that's amazing and I congratulate them. I would like the indie hacker movement to move back to celebrating these success stories instead of the influencer BS.

Edit: and maybe I am a bit bitter as I loved the indie hacker movement. I found it to be incredibly inspiring, and I truly miss the stories of people doing lots of hard work, solving difficult problems, and building incredible products and companies.

Yeah. I won't go so far as "weird", but definitely "foreign". I think of it as an introvert/extrovert-type self-selection. Some people are energized by energy! Having a dog be excited just to be around you puts so much energy into the area that it's hard to ignore. Dogs are just bright glowing balls of pure joy.

But for those of us who do NOT get energized by energy, but rather get drained by things around us being too energetic (music is oppressively loud, sports fans are happy or angry, games are too chaotic, everyone is talking over everyone else, etc.), a dog is more like a very small version of those things which grate on us. And, in the same way that I love a good concert but still find someone cranking up their stereo in the car irritating can't be boiled down to "loud music bad"; dogs can't be boiled down to "dogs too energetic/needy".

Personally, I'm a "friend of dogs". I will never own one (though I may cohabitate with one; I wouldn't dream of imposing pet limitations on my SO), I won't spent a lot of time with any of them. But I will always be happy to see a dog; I will always try to engage them and play with them; I will always be grateful that there is a dog around, so long as it's not my responsibility to attend to their neediness. Dogs are some of the greatest friends I've ever known. I'm just not the type of person who can responsibly care for one, so I won't.

Cats, on the other hand, are the inverse. For people who are bored when they sit in silence, or people who constantly want to be "active", or people who like to lead instead of follow - for extroverts, cats are such non-entities. It's like... why hold affection for something that can't clearly demonstrate any particular feeling about me?

But I'm 1000% with you; I like to live around animals and essentially let them live their own lives with the small exceptions of providing stable food and water. That goes for any kind of animal, but doing so with dogs tends to make neurotic and depressed dogs, so I don't. But I'd live with apes, rodents, avians, and reptiles, so long as they manage their own business and leave me alone. Hell, cows are delightful if you've ever been around them long enough for them not to run away from you. So it's a blanket policy of "limited affection available for temporarily-needy stoics" for my pet ownership (and most human friendships, honestly), which is pitch-perfect for cats.

> ‘5 OOMs off’

I think Google, Microsoft and facebook could easily have 5 OOM data than the entire public web combined if we just count text. Majority of people don't have any content on public web except for personal photos. A minority has few public social media posts and it is rare for people to write blog or research paper etc. And almost everyone has some content written in mail or docs or messaging.
The paper linked is also worth reading:

https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s13347-020-00404-9

It builds on the foundational concept of informational self-determination, and highlights well the various schisms involved. Therefore, I remain also a little skeptical about the NFT/blockchain/etc. solutions at a non-technical level.

Wouldn't call it swinging back when nobody went back. They weren't replaced by another empire and didn't become poorer. Everyone instead became richer so fast that various bad ideas of the past were simply irrelevant.

No, my point is total wealth matters. You can grow your way out of inequality, and you will, that's why creating more inequality is a waste of time.

See, I feel like that's almost the exact opposite unless you assume Apple and its internal legal department is made up of the biggest idiots on the planet. If they were intending on just infringing this valid patent and trying to get away with it, then they've literally handed the world a paper trail that makes them look as bad as possible without a literal email being published in the newspaper from Tim Cook saying "Yea, just violate the patent".

With the history they have with Masimo, surely the more reasonable explanation is that they saw the tech, thought they could make something independently that was as good or better without infringing the patent, and hired off some of the Masimo folks to help with explicit instructions to try to avoid any overlap with their old patents?

Does Apple have some history of flagrantly violating patents I don't know about? If anything, other folks have pointed out that Apple specifically has done this to other people before, so they're keenly aware of the risks here. I just don't buy what seems to be the conventional wisdom of "haha big company is dumb as bricks". Risking getting a flagship product banned from sale seems deeply unlike Apple's business strategy in general, which makes everyone's assertions that this infringement was intentional, flagrant, and obvious to a layman seem like it must have some fault in it.
I think you can always arrive at the correct answer by tracking the distance traveled by the center of the rolling object.

In the original SAT question, the center of the rolling circle is 4r from the center. That means it travels an arc of 8pi. Then assuming no-slip, that works out to 4 rotation.

In your case, rolling on the inside, the center of the rolling circle will only be 2r from the center. Using the same logic, this yields 2 rotations.
Me and my wife often discuss on how we should help our children to learn. Especially if we see them making errors. Should we tell them that they made an error and show them the correct solution or should we wait to let them notice their error on their own.

The last part about the mindset of the learner gave me an interesting perspective.

The article explains the growth mindset and fixed mindset. The article suggest to nurture a growth mindset by rewarding successes and tolerating failures. Pointing out failures too often might make the learner switch to a fixed mindset.
Near-Clearwater here. There's absolutely no reason to go there at night unless you're Sea Org (easily identifiable by the vests they wear that make them look like hotel staff). There's no nightlife aside from one restaurant at the south end. If you make too much noise (ie screaming "You're in a cult! You can leave and get help!"), a white van will be dispatched and follow you for several miles. Some of the buildings are vacant, some contain Narconon-style substance counseling groups that 'help' you by introducing you to Dianetics. All in all, kind of otherworldly, but mostly boring.

The real ease of saying no to bosses of any kind comes from financial security, no matter its origin. There are certainly plenty of small business owners who are struggling enough that they can barely afford to so "no" to any customer/ Conversely, there are plenty of employees who manage to tell their line manager "no" just fine. Whether you can afford to do so does not depends on the type of boss but on the ease with which you can bear the repercussions of doing so.

The context of the fine article is scaling LLMs into AGI. It's not about whether the tool is useful or not, as usefulness is a threshold well before AGI.
