When I was an intern at a company that developed high-end software development tools, there was an intense project to build a new product suite...

So I posted the Far Side comic, about the office workers trapped by fire, atop the building of the Ace Ladder Co.

I can't find a non-copyright-violating copy on the Web, but the caption was: "Wait a minute! Say that again, Doris! ... You know, the part about `If only we had some means of climbing down.'"

(I'm lucky that my coworkers were so kind about my youthful tone-deafness.)
This post doesn’t go remotely far enough.

The genius of the web was its focus on documents: GET, POST, UPDATE, DELETE. Authoring and sharing text and images and video is essential to human knowledge and the web’s big contribution to the world was creating a fairly simple, universally understandable format for people to read and publish documents. The idea of the separation of information from presentation (and putting presentation in the control of the user-agent) was genius and lead to some of the biggest forms of innovation built on top of the web like RSS and podcasting. The gradual evolution of the web away from a hyperlinked network of documents towards being a thin frame into which we deliver complex software applications mostly destroyed so much of this value. It’s convenient for engineers but often deeply hostile to users and has lead to a systematic disregard for what was unique and special about the web. How easy do you find it to discover interesting or useful information created by actual people nowadays vs, say, 2007? Web engineers have largely destroyed one of the great human information technologies in order to make it easier to ship software. Good job everyone.
They do, it's a regulatory requirement. Anybody who exposes an IBAN account, must have open banking apis exposed as well. So, all 5k+ banks have it.
TCI remifentanil takes away coughing - but I strongly don’t recommend doing this. (And you can’t really do this anyway) But technically - it does take away coughing.

Other things you can do: use a humidifier or something like a Vicks vapouriser. Vicks Vaporub may also help. Or
Inhalers, like salbutamol or something… if it’s really that bad go to your doctor and get a once over and maybe you need steroids or something.
My parents gave me a mug with that on it for my birthday one year. I still have it.
Macaroons are the coconut cookie. Macarons are the fluffy egg white ones. Very different things.
At first I thought that I can use the elements from the sidebar to built something in the main area, since it is wider than the sidebar.
Cough drops usually help me enough to get to sleep. Get the good ones like Fisherman's Friend or numbing ones like benzocaine lozenges. And there are cough suppressant drugs. They are central nervous system depressors though, so don't take so much that you stop breathing entirely.
You bring up good points against the physical medium (especially when it comes to note-taking), but I'd respectfully disagree.

Books I've read multiple times, the great ones, nothing beats a well-made physical edition.

The way light pushes off the pages, that smell...the book changes over time as you read it more. It almost takes on a life of its own with yours.
And, if you need to be completely offline or Amazon decides to one day Google-drop your entire online library, that book will still be open to you.

Great work deserves to be supported. Buying a physical copy is my small way to show my support.
> did you "notice" the lack of feedback at the time?

Not really, I wasn't expecting it either. I was having fun creating them and thrilled that a company was willing to sell them, and that people bought them. That alone felt validating that my hard work had produced something of at least reasonable quality.

Even though I hadn't expected it, it was pretty exciting to talk to someone that played one (and liked it).
This led me on a bit of a rabbit hole, but I’m suspicious that Moss may refer to Stephanie Moss, who is referenced in the preface of Mathographic by Robert Dixon.
I think the eventual "direct manipulation" is to manipulate directly with the mind... no physical movement required.
I think a portion of people would say yes, it's better to keep the status quo. Imo progress always wins because eventually someone somewhere will break the taboo. Technology even gets lost and rediscovered, which means even if you supress the knowledge someone will still eventually do it. So it's pretty pointless to fight, I'd rather try to benefit from it.
Level-up existing ML pipelines with an LLM layer
Embed a LLM at the inference stage to turn your existing ML inference pipeline into an ensemble and gain some low-hanging precision recall improvements.
You have to reallllly squint to see Incredible Machine in these. These are basic associations, not physical interactions. The closest you get to IM is "what happens if I stick these two things together" but it's more guessing and less input output.

In IM, you know what each thing does and see the output of each action, so you can iterate: placement, angle, special attributes like fire or light. It's not just stack two possibly related icons to see what you get. With these you either know the association exists or you're doing conceptual guesswork. There's no testing and iterating on a hypothesis, at a point once all known associations have been exhausted, iteration looks like permutation.

seconding this.

my mom is a teacher, i assisted in our preschool before, and i've dated college students who are taking educ before - the theories, the frameworks, the lesson plans, and very act of teaching, all of it takes a LOT of effort.

materials wont cut it. you'd want to spend time with people with real world teaching experiences. there's a reason they have teaching demos, they teach infront of each other and give each other feedback. they're awesome.
Whoah, hold up: Why should we believe that success using an LLM to (possibly blindly) look up the answer to interview-questions will strongly correlate to success using an LLM to craft good code, properly tested, and their ability to debug it and fit it into an existing framework?

Heck, at that point you aren't even measuring whether the candidate understood the question, nor their ability to communicate about it with prospective coworkers.

If there are any questions where "repeat whatever ChatGPT says" seems like a fair and reasonable answer, that probably means it's a bad question that should be removed instead. Just like how "I'd just check the API docs" indicates you shouldn't be asking trivia about the order of parameters in a standard library method or whatever.
I've been trying to figure out the file format used for "POV" fan displays I've bought from AliExpress. This visualizer was a big help....
> In the same way that traumatic experiences can trigger post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or post-traumatic growth (Tedeschi, 1999), we hypothesize that intense periods of psychological crisis can serve to kindle conditions for major, potentially lasting, psychological change, pivotable either towards illness or wellness (Figure 1).

They're saying that with the use of psychedelics you can create super states in your mind.
okay thanks, as a game developer, i just started creating my own, only for iPad particularly lol.

The free ones i downloaded had iaps or bloatware so i thought id just create a simple one for my own use.

Nevertheless, PCalc looks like a full fledged calculator and if i need all the complex things out of it i will surely give it a try.
>Anything over the internet needs to pass through routers and poof decentralization's gone

That's not true. Yes the strict p2p connection is gone but decentralization is what the name says, a network of connections without a single center. The internet and it's routing systems are decentralized. Of course every decentralized system can also be stressed to a point of failure and not every node is automatically trustworthy.
Licking County (next-gen, post-18A) has already broken ground and is in assembly, Magdeburg and Ireland (18A) also well underway and in production. Arizona's 20A facility (Fab 52 and Fab 62) have been done for half a year and are already in tape out. Not sure what is up for debate here, you can't really hide a $5BN infrastructure project from the public.

I think it's safe to say that 80BN+ in subsidies are already well in the process of being deployed. Intel, along with Samsung and TSMC, are heavily subsidized and have been so for a very long time. Any government with modest intelligence understands the gravity of having microchip manufacturing secured.
I think that's a lot more impressive as it's all hand made and 7 bit ASCII only.
Is that what it says? Emphasis mine,

hey sidkris,
I actually like these ones, both infact, going to book mark one of them for quick web calculation.

However, coming back to iPad specific, since before this post i wasnt aware of much, i just thought it'd be easier to diy so im halway creating my own simple ipad calculator, but nothing like whats in the market.

I've actually bookmarked for personal web use what you recommended. Thanks.
It’s worth it until you need to. Then you have a nightmare on your hands because you’re never allowed to rewrite it.
Instead of asking the candidate to solve coding challenges, ask them to create a coding challenge. The interviewer can then use ChatGPT to see if the coding challenge the candidate wrote was already known to ChatGPT or if it was indeed created from whole cloth by the candidate. Example:

Interviewer: "Create a coding challenge that requires sorting a CSV file by timestamp. Require the timestamps to be in some weird, nonstandard format and describe the format. Provide a few entries in the sample data that contain a timestamp which is ambiguous."
Is there a web version of this menu system?
Willing to bet Netherlands.

Outside possibility of Romania, because they basically skipped over an entire generation (DSL) of telecom so there were no incumbents to cause trouble.
I’d suggest the wrong questions are being asked. Interview for understanding not just information.
this may not be as useful as it appears since different requests are for different different URLs, unless you redirect a request to libcurl.com
> does good work using that same LLM then what should the employer or other employees care?

Maybe I'm wrong, but I find it very hard to believe that anyone thinks the "good work" part here is actually a practical possibility today. Boilerplate generation is fine and certainly possible, and I'm not saying the future won't bring more possibilities. But realistically anyone that is leaning on an LLM more than a little bit for real work today is probably going to commit garbage code that someone else has to find and fix. It's good enough to look like legitimate effort/solutions at first glance, but in the best case it has the effect of tying up actual good faith effort in long code reviews, and turns previously productive and creative individual contributors into full-time teachers or proof-readers. Worst case it slips by and crashes production, or the "peers" of juniors-in-disguise get disgusted with all the hand-holding and just let them break stuff. Or the real contributors quit, and now you have more interviews where you're hoping to not let more fakers slide by.

It's not hard to understand that this is all basically just lies (misrepresented expertise) followed by theft. Theft of both time & cash from coworkers and employers.

It's also theft of confidence and goodwill that affects everyone. If we double the number of engineers because expectations of engineer quality is getting pushed way down, the LLM-fakers won't get to keep enjoying the same salary they scammed their way into for very long. And if they actually learn to code better, their improved skills will be drowned out by other fakers! If we as an industry don't want homework, 15 interviews per job, strong insistence on FOSS portfolio, lowered wages, and lowered quality of life at work.. low-effort DDoS both in interviews or in code-reviews should concern everyone.
great!
Seems like it does the work, seeing this 4 days later, im almost halfway into making my own ipad calculator app lol.

Nevertheless thanks for the suggestion. :D
They bought the stock on the principle that it was going to pay a consistent 5% dividend every year and weren't looking for moonshots at the cost of that consistent revenue.

Many jurisdictions do not allow this sort of deferals for cheating.

Problem is with kickstarter, they should structure this thing as a loan, that gets written off by delivering or failing.
The impressive thing about Scribblenauts was that of course, it didn't have anything like an LLM. They went through a dictionary and added everything they could, then they went through several rounds of playtesting and added everything the playtesters managed to think of that they didn't already have (minus copyrighted characters and other things that would get them into trouble)
Why aren't modern systems just statically divided up, with known throughput-oriented junk homed on "efficiency cores" and known latency-sensitive tasks isolated on "performance cores", where each class of CPUs can use an optimal thread scheduler for its tasks? I know thread scheduling isn't the only thing users of lowlatency want, but I bet it solves the bulk of interactivity issues for desktop users.
> They are said to have purchased Bitcoins with the proceeds

Based on this, I'd assume the illegal proceeds are fiat currency based, hence they could sell the full bitcoin amount, return _all_ illegal profits, fines,etc and still have plenty left

Likewise, if they bought crypto/stocks/business but the valuation went down, they'd be liable to pay the "illegal proceeds" amount, not the value of the business which may have declined significantly in the meantime?
The letter of the rule is so byzantine. I just stayed at a place that had some elses hulu account hooked up still. It asked me incredulously about my IP then I dismissed the message and just used that account since the remote is such a painful ui/ux for relogging in. Per the terms, this poor sap and everyone else who forgot about their hulu account signed into some airbnb is subject to service termination.
I did lots of hiring (500+) in my previous company. The challenge is to develop an interview that gives a wide dynamic range of signal, a lot of opportunities for the candidate to shine, easy escape hatches for different skill sets (or even different problems), and a sequence of achievable milestones. This is not something you can do in an hour or without play-testing your interview problem.
They could make the Quest feel more premium for 8-9x the cost, and include a lot of the AVP features (better eye tracking, better passthrough cameras), but I don't think they have the capacity to be making M1/R1 like chipsets or micro OLED screens at scale. The chipset in particular is a big reason why Apple is able to have their "sub-12ms latency" that makes the passthrough feel convincing.

Now those definitely exist in a research lab somewhere on the Meta campus, but I doubt they're close to making them in high quantities.
... take cough medicine?
I could see there being serious issues with handling "impulse control." Imagine you see an ad, have a brief desire to interact with it, but tell yourself a split second later that you shouldn't. The time delay of using our physical body to carry out actions (movement, speech) that originate as thoughts acts as a very necessary filter. Imagine a world, even isolated to a spacial computing environment, where this filter didn't exist.
No one gets absorbed if he has nuclear weapons.
Hazing rituals and similar stresses have been used historically to bind people into a group.

Pavlov's research with the salivating dog was part of an larger experiment to learn how to brainwash people. Not surprisingly, physical and psychological stress were found to put people into a highly receptive state where they could be taught new beliefs and behaviors.

This paper claims that some psychedelics can mimic that stress to put people into a similarly receptive state. Further, it says that the same underlying brain chemistry comes into play.

(At least that is how I understood it)
I wish I could downvote you because you didn't read the whole article and just cherry picked one single point.

What happened is that the government bailed out the bank and the depositors. Why? Because "most of the accounts" were over the $250k limit and it would have been catastrophic to so many businesses that they couldn't ignore it. Contagion. Many were still left empty handed...

"However, investors won’t be so lucky. While the FDIC can protect depositors from losses, it can’t do the same for shareholders and unsecured debt holders. In other words, individuals and institutions that owned stock in SVB Financial Group may not get their money back."

Including us tax payers...

"While you may not pay for the losses directly with your tax dollars, some losses could ultimately trickle down. For example, if your bank has to pay more for deposit insurance, it might charge you a higher interest rate on a loan or pay you a lower percentage of interest in your savings account."

So yea, it was a giant rug.
I did get steroid (the red inhaler for asthma even I don't have asthma) but it's not very helpful.

I also tried everything I could buy without prescription but nothing really helped.
> No, patching binaries is not really similar at all, because it's viewed as an inferior method to having the source code and modifying that.

> With these large models, the weights really are quite useful objects in themselves, the very starting points of future modifications, and importantly the desired points of modifications

For fine tuning. You go back to the training pipeline to make major changes.

> Practioners in the field call these models "open source"

Some do. In contrast to the accepted definitions of open source.

> and write open source software to run them and use them to power open source software.

There's plenty of open source code to run closed source binaries.

It's how big tech with multinational offices manages to handle lack of enough H-1B, among other things.

You hire someone in local office for a year, then arrange L-1B visa which has no numerical issuance limits - but requires at least one year of previous employment with the company sponsoring the visa.

There's also L-1A which IIRC doesn't require time in company but is limited only to upper management in practice.
I think parent comment was maybe trolling a bit with a memoji comparison lol. Hard to say though
Based on that description, maybe I am addicted lol.

I can technically go without, but what I crave more than the feeling of the meds is the ability to be semi-functional. I do not respond super positively to the meds to begin with, but they are definitely better than nothing... and perhaps sometimes detrimental (focus on the wrong thing).

I always try to take breaks when I can, but life rarely allows for me to do such anymore. On weekends now, I typically just half-dose or take a day off. Seems to be enough to help with the burnout.
Yeah I got some steroid and tried everything that doesn't need a prescription.
so the core is cooling and shrinking. I'm pretty sure I saw a documentary about this and the risks it poses to astronauts...
Why does it matter to you if they can do it from memory, if they can find the answer easily from ChatGPT? It's like asking "how can I tell if somebody knows the exact definition of a word without having to look it up?" If it's really important that they have that ability (e.g. because you will be asking them to perform other tasks which are not so easily solved by ChatGPT, or you simply don't want them using ChatGPT at their job for whatever reason), then you will have to devise an interview scenario where the candidate is incapable of using ChatGPT clandestinely, e.g. by bringing them into your office.
sounds like a great way to destroy your $4k toy
