This is very cool and exciting. It seems like a good method to reduce the development of myopia.

However, my understanding is that myopia is also simply age related. Discussions I've had recently were looking at the hardening of the lens as a factor.

I've been trying to re-train my eye with an eye chart, and I've been surprised how after just a few weeks, my vision has gotten much clearer. Going from 20/40 to nearly 20/25.

In the past few weeks I've started taking collagen to increase/maintain flexibility in the eye, and will continue with the eye exercises.

This is in no way to say that refractify is not valuable. I think it is and I'd add it to my routine.

I should also state that I have corrected my eyesight once before. When I first became a software engineer, I noticed my eyesight degrade quickly (I was in my 30s). I made a conscious effort to spend time outside looking long-distance such as reading street signs from as far away as I could. My eyesight improved dramatically. However, as I've aged, I went from 20/15 to 20/40. Note: 20/15 was examined by a doctor, 20/40 is self measured with an eye chart.
Can Dieting Lead to Long-Term Weight Loss?
One a basic level: the public has a right to opine about public works and to glean insight into the decision process behind them, even if the rationale behind the public’s grievances is ultimately not well founded.

(In my experience, the rationale for public layouts is “first come first serve,” meaning that the original civil engineer made a subjective design call decades ago and every subsequent change has simply accommodated it. In that way your comparison to software is apt, except for the part where I have a reasonable expectation of redress against public works and not against you.)
Of course not!

The Power of AI™ can figure out the true intent of the code by looking at the initial (and, potentially, buggy) implementation, and help the programmer by generating edge test cases where the code doesn't produce correct results.

The programmer will easily tell those test cases from the ones where the AI did a mistake and generated a flawed test case because the AI doesn't make such silly mistakes; clearly, it's the programmer's code that needs to be corrected.

In fact, the AI would do a better job at that, too, which clearly speeds up the development cycle.

The correct way to use the tool is to let the AI both generate the test cases and modify the code so that it would pass the tests it generates.

After all, if the AI can't figure out what you wanted to do in the first place — how can you?

Of course, there's more to it.

Whichever problems you run into can be surely attributed to writing the code in an AI-unfriendly way.

In the past, we had the adage that the code is read more times than it's written. This is still true, but we need to abandon the old habit habit of having a human reader in mind.

Just like you rearrange your furniture to make your house more accessible to the robot vacuum cleaner, you need to write the code with the AI in mind.

When you write a Google query or a prompt for ChatGPT (effectively the same thing anyway), you don't write it like you'd talk to a person.

You're going to have to write code the same way to be truly effective, and think a little bit like AI to get the most use out of it.

That might sound like a lot of work to get code that does what you want.

But of course, that's not the case.

Just use the AI for this.
Weird. Maybe it's a regional thing. I've only heard it through the midwest and the west coast.

Also, all the freaking time when I was in the US Navy.
Great premise.

I like the idea that you can just use the software for free, or pay for cloud hosting.

But it seems like you need a cloud account even to use it locally.

The monetisation strategy seems to affect the product negatively.
Except at this point, that won't ever happen. I certainly wouldn't ever sell. If it starts heading to zero, I would just start buying as much as I could. I know I'm not the only one.

As said in the other conversation, you're missing what's being communicated. And as __explicitly__ stated in the comment you replied to (this comment's gp), the compiler tells you __nothing__ about the logic. It can't! The compiler doesn't know human intention. It can tell you that you've accessed an out of bounds index, but it can't tell you that you selected the wrong index. These are very different things!

A compiler only tells you about semantic errors. It has no understanding though. This is true for any language. We can say/write things that are linguistically correct but have no actual meaning and tells us nothing about the "correctness" or efficiency of our usage.

Comments are for the logic, not grammar. The logic is abstract.
It's not just the type of work but also experience. Here are two cases:

1. After working for many years in Java I needed to build a service. I spent few days designing it and then a month on implementation. I used DBs and libraries I knew very well. I didn't need to access google/stackoverflow, I didn't need to look up names of (std)lib methods and their parameters and if something wasn't working it was fairly obvious what I needed to change.

2. Recently I wanted to create a simple page which fetched a bunch of stuff from some URLs and showed the results, simple stuff. But with React since that was what frontend team was using. I never used React and rarely touched web in the recent years. Most of my time was spent googling about React and how exactly CORS/SOP work in the browsers, and with polishing it took a couple of days.

I'm pretty sure that in case 1) AI wouldn't help me much. Maybe just as a more fancy code completion.

In case 2) AI would probably be a significant time save. I could just ask it to write some draft for me and then I could make few tweaks, without having to figure out React.

But somehow nobody quantifies their experience with the languages/tools when they are using AI - I'm sure there's a staggering difference between 1 month and 10 yoe.
When I first watched Departed, I didn't realise that Matt Damon and Leonardo DiCaprio's characters are different people until the third act. It was very confusing.
Painfully aware that my soft skills need improving but I'm not sure where to even start. I've started prepping more before important meetings but I'm easily so lost in code that I forget meetings are even happening sometimes.
If any Meta or Facebook folks can help, I’d surely appreciate it!
I use it to calculate XIRR returns for my clients investment data. No more having to run a server to do occasional server intensive tasks.
I thought that reflecting what went poorly is really informative and inspiring! It really shows how you are taking this seriously, and iterating on a great project that you're building better and better, thanks for the insight and for a peek behind the curtain
There’s far more options than just those two. It may not be physically possible to have non invasive glucose monitoring of sufficient accuracy, until it’s actually demonstrated we just don’t know.

The general point of the FDA is to prevent snake oil salesmen from conning people which makes this decision in line with their core mission.
The code didn’t render properly, and it’s not letting me edit the comment.

> I get not liking a name, but to pass judgement on the quality of a product/project based on its name alone seems like a complete midwit thing to do.

I get to make n-many "midwit" decisions in life and retain a certain success envelope / gradient. I'm happy for this to be one of them.

Just think about all of the everyday decisions being made just like this. People passing over your resume because they don't like your font, etc. This kind of petty little thing bears an absolutely astronomically impact on the deterministic evolution of the universe.
Most of it has been in use for decades and isn't in prime condition. Radiation embrittlement, micrometeorite impacts will have weakened it. Not to mention lacking the benefits of decades of advancements of material science and the ability to test components together on the ground. Not being able to take advantage of lessons learned during ISS design and operations. And having to tie your design to parts that were designed and manufacturing in a previous century. That are probably not capable of being certified against today's standards.

I don't really see it being feasible. Better to just clean room the design based on today's knowledge and tech. Heavy lift is getting cheaper and cheaper anyway.
Its a managed embedded-store, ie someone can write data, forget about it, come back in a month with new hardware and still access all their data. You can't do that with a traditional embedded store (ex. rocksdb or a local redis instance)

There are data pipelines behind the scenes to distribute writes to the embedded store which needs some provisioning time. And yes we are super early.
FYI it is a little suspect to write your own testing framework and then claim a ridiculous performance gain over something like Redis. There are already widely accepted testing tools [1] you could have used.

It might make more sense to write a harness that allows your software to be used with standard Redis wire protocol so it can be properly benchmarked and compared against the dozens of existing solutions in the space.

Also it seems like you accidentally discovered the Latency Numbers Everyone Should Know [2]. Local operations are faster than network operations.

It's an issue that, while the mainboard is involved, happens to occur on (at least) the 3 best-selling mainboard vendors compatible with that family of CPUs, at stock settings, so that you can take an affected CPU, swap it through a selection of the most popular mainboards compatible with said CPU and see the same kind of instability problems.

I don't think it's unreasonable to call that Intel's problem, maybe not in terms of culpability (but truly, nobody cares) but definitely in the sense this is doing damage to their brand. If the mainboards are all out of spec then they need to talk about this publicly, rein them in, start a certification program, whatever. Being publicly completely fine with this as long as it results in good review scores but then starting to go "well actually..." when there's stability issues on a small fraction of sold units is not a good look.
You're being sarcastic but honestly, I've never found a regression because of a unit test.

Only past few days though, I did find two bugs that would've been prevented if the original code was covered by a decent unit test.
I knew an ex-employee back in the day (not me I swear) who created a dialup/ISDN provisioning profile called 'Ringing' in the modem rack controller module (not the Radius server, that would be too obvious), such that a glance at the modem rack status page showed everyone who was connected, and one that was 'Ringing', just like any other incoming call that hadn't been picked up yet. It went completely undetected, yielding 128Kbit ISDN service for well over a year.

Obviously I do not advise this, especially now that the CFAA has been interpreted to include things like changing URL parameters and flicking boogers on the carpet.
The 2% cards aren’t that hard to get, and with something like half of Americans carrying balances some of them are gonna be 2% cardholders who ran up more than they realized on a 0% APR intro rate.

You only need a few of those to make up the difference.
I'm curious, what is the stylistic difference between Unix and Windows c++? I don't know it.
> During the COVID-19 curfew, however, tourists were not allowed to access the island, and monkeys began to face food scarcity.

This can't have been the first time these monkeys have experienced food shortage.

I know we had a bioengineering boom in the 50s, and probably a lot of animals have been eating well for the past few decades because of that... but I wonder if the behaviors of the monkeys with tools and crows dropping nuts is something that often happens with animals during the down period where crop yields aren't doing so well, and then they revert back to scrounging when they are.

I guess we had luck that the tools we developed during our own shortages in the past could be used to kill and enslave other animals. Let's hope the crows and monkeys aren't taking notes.
There's just one giant problem with tkinter, it is completely inaccessible. That means that blind people can not use your apps at all if you use tkinter. I have used PySimpleGUIWx in the last years for a youtube client for exactly these people, but the wx port seams to have been neglected over the last years any way so won't pay them.
Unlikely sustainable without innovations. A payday for stakeholders and then popular-brand bagholders magnet, possibly a buy-rumor-sell-before-quarterly-report playtoy. I wouldn't expect UX increase and the question is how long the enshittification-revenue balance will be kept steady.
I don't know if it's a solid grasp of abstract class inclusion so much as the concrete difference between "let's play (with a toy)" and "go get this specific toy (which will prompt play)" but yes, it's still impressive.

MoE let's you use scale model size up with compute. That leads to hopefully more intelligent models.
It, however, is independent with context size: the ability to process a lot of tokens / text.
The writing style matches the emails as well.
"Bring your whole self to work" is a joke unless you hold progressive opinions. Antifa and "resistance" stickers on laptops or backpacks are fine, as is openly wishing for the death or bodily harm of sitting politicians from the "wrong" party. Diversity groups for just about everyone except you know who. Meetings on work time openly pushing progressive agendas.

God forbid you display MAGA swag or even a Gadsden. Diversity is supposed to yield benefits of expanded opinions. Now there is no diversity. Everyone looks a bit different but the only opinions expressed are in one direction.
I feel like I've seen mention of them looking at Servo long term - but don't quote me and please someone correct me if I'm wrong.

WebkitGTK being so lackluster is indeed a problem - I ran into this of all things in a wxWidgets project. Eventually wound up ripping it out and replacing it with custom screens since it was more work to maintain and work around issues than to just sit down and write the UI.
Honestly, a lot of us South Americans look at El Salvador and Bukele with a mix of hope, envy, and respect.
ChatGPT and Scuttlebutt are both bad names, sure, but in completely distinct ways.
I had a dog that yawned to say "no".

I don't know if she trained us or I trained her, but she associated stopping doing something with a yawn.

Don't like petting? yawn and the human will stop.

Don't like that food? yawn and we will change it.

Don't like going to the veterinary? yawn - but that never worked.

I loved that dog.
It’s not only a cost thing, they don’t have the power output for the same form factor. You can technically swap in those 12v LiFePo4 “replacements” into a cheap UPS but they don’t put out nearly as many peak amps as good old SLAs. Lithium Ion and Polymer can but they also run the risk of blowing up. I’ve played with basically all these chemistries doing model airplanes and DIY drones.
Tried Lexis+ AI, and… it’s just not very good yet.

Much like ChatGPT, it can only handle recall and summation — and even then, I don’t fully trust it because it often misses key ideas.

And much like ChatGPT, it can’t do anything coherent at length without a lot of help and working around its faults.

And seems entirely unaware of similar sounding words having distinct legal meanings. Which is not good.
No lobbying necessary. It's an election year and anti-China - for both parties - plays well with the electorate.
Still waiting on non-destructive editing last I checked, which always seemed to be touted as "right around the corner" as much as a decade ago.
This is what is so baffling with people.

"The $company/government isn't doing their job, we need to fire/change government/privatise this function, it would solve everything!"

Well, where do you think the former employees will work after their previous employer shuts down? It's not the form of government/company culture that is the biggest problem I'm affraid.
Japanese novels are particularly hard for me to keep characters straight due to sometimes very different forms of address depending on who (including the narrator) is mentioning the character.
Yes it can. It worked for me.
Slack has supported SSO via a variety of providers for quite a long time now. If G/O Media didn't bother setting up the integration, that's on them.
Google needs much stronger SVP-level product leadership. Directors and VPs should not be fighting for product turf, and major user-facing products, such as an entire default Android app in this case, need to outlast the tenure of any individual VP-level patron.
One thing that SSO isn't great at is deactivating live sessions. Often, you either solve this with short session times (annoying to users), making a note in the de-provisioning steps document (not foolproof), or using a third party vendor (costly).
Nice device, but the data is stored with them, so the privacy issue remains.

I'm not seeing much of a point powering a small server from battery with AC if it all gets converted to DC anyway. Laptops got it right.

I feel for the future maintainers of all this crappy LLM legacy code in the future.
It’s gonna be ugly.
Yes. Here in the western U.S., some public lands near populated areas close during the summer, because of extreme fire danger. Having larger crowds camping in the woods raises the danger for everyone, even with the supervision of the forest service. It'd be insanity to ignore trespassers on private lands in summer.
The idea that you can dream up architectures but not implement them and expect anything worthwhile to come out reeks of inexperience.
...and this is why 99% of niche developer attempts don't flourish into the next big social network. Might as well call it "Codswallop", which is also a valid historical slang that is equally completely ridiculous for mass appeal.
That I can fully agree with (particularly, comparison with fuzzing).

Your comment presents a way more grounded perspective on the future of LLMs in programming than the article does.
The whole design of the protocol is anathema to popularity. It's based around syncing posts with users you are in physical proximity to. I doubt the cute name is what's going to hold it back from mainstream adoption.
Damn, now I'm suddenly finding myself wanting to go back and re-watch Bojack Horseman. Not that that would be a bad thing.
Maybe it's an iOS thing? I just spent about an hour generating stuff from my iPad.

*Edit:* The previous poster specifically said they use an iPad, that's odd. Worked fine on my 12,9" iPad Pro, Display Zoom is set to "more space", i.e. more content shown. In case it has an issue with not enough screen space?
I used to live above the Wetherspoons, in the building next-door to the Angle; I don't miss the dunks pissing on my doorstep at closing time.

I do miss how central and convenient it was, though.
Same here - Kylix was good for "hello world" projects, but when you trying to implement some coding stuff you'll see many small bugs that make future development impossible.
These are good points, but we can't ignore that this technology is valuable for non-diabetics. We also know that "preventing" technology from being used is a losing battle - though I'd be happy to hear of examples contrary to this.

If a diabetic is going to attempt to use the device as a diagnostic, but they are aware that it is not fit for that purpose, that is their own choice. Like injecting insulin by "feel".

Perhaps a better approach would be that insulin be delivered in collaboration with a certified device. That would close the loop on the amount of insulin being injected.

I'm no expert on diabetes though, so i don't know the actual implications of that.
> Load Generation

> We use a single benchmarking client to drive traffic to - (1) embedded IKV instance on the same machine as the client (2) A multi-sharded Redis cluster (built using AWS ElastiCache for Redis) in the same data-center (AWS availability zone). Using multiple clients is complex since we’re testing an embedded database (other benchmarking tools which only test standalone DB services can drive more load using multiple clients). The maximum amount of load that can be created depends on the number of parallel threads in the client and the average response time of the underlying database.

This is a ridiculous comparison: "embedded IKV instance" vs a cloud service.
Wow. I guess if you always lived there, you accept it as normal, but being from USA that is hard to relate to.
This seems great, but I have 2 questions:

1. Since this is for "early myopia", does it mean it is useless for adults? If not, which groups of adults will find it useful?

2. What do you think about this and is this even related?

> The overall findings are equivocal with under‐correction causing a faster rate of myopia progression. There is no strong evidence of benefits from un‐correction, monovision or over‐correction. Hence, current clinical advice advocates for the full‐correction of myopia

https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1111/cxo.12978

Edit to clarify, full correction with glasses should mean always seeing the sharpest picture possible
Thanks! Again, partnerships over customers. If you're experienced and have the technical chops to make a MI300x sing, we want to work with you. Our model is that we are the capex/opex investor for businesses. As much as I love software, Hot Aisle is more of a hardware business. Running super high end large scale compute is an extreme challenge in itself. We are less interested in building the software side of things and want to foster those who can focus on that side.

Sounds great, I'm going to make a "credibility as a service" startup and we'll find ways to farm whatever score in whatever fields you want.

And you can be sure government agencies will do the same.
No, just a programmer that has to apply math.

Transformers can only do what is called weak negation.

if (not (goal X)), then (assert not x)

One example I have seen is:
"you can cross if you have no information on a train coming”

VS:

"you can cross if you have evidence that no train is coming"

See the difference?

As to what 'transformers' can encode is ambiguous and depends on many factors but here is some light reading.

It appears slow, but tests show it completes most tasks more quickly, accurately, and with less complaining, than most members of the gen z cohort.
The simple answer is that you need to ask yourself why somebody would pay for what you create. This leads to thinking about market demands, user experience, etc., and you will learn to argue from the customer’s and user’s POV. Then again you’ll ask yourself why you’re not self-employed because you’ll realize most of your managers aren’t good at this stuff either.
