I've worked with lazy coders and it sucks. It really does. They are not diligent about listening to users, about following standards, about testing, or being thorough. It works in the short term but only for them, not for the team.

I despise this trope of lazy coders. The best engineers I've ever worked with were thoughtful, efficient, and hard working. They got things done I didn't know were possible, and then did it again the next day. They write books, develop open source libraries, and speak at conferences. Lazy people don't do that.
I've seen coyotes in Boston and neighboring Cambridge has wild turkeys roaming the streets.
Needs some editing; one whole paragraph is repeated, and not deliberately.
This is a fun article. If I could make one suggestion to the author, it would be to do away with the p-value, and use a more sophisticated measure, like bootstrap resampling differences between the control and test distributions. You would get direct characterization of the distribution of the difference of the mean, and could present the full distribution or confidence intervals or whatever. Just a lot more useful than the crummy KS test.
For my part, I don't know that "illegal" means much, but morally, Israel has no real claim to the land; their settlement of the West Bank harms the legitimacy of the state within its original borders. In "Judea and Samaria", Jewish people are a minority abetted by an external military force; they are, in those places, occupiers.
Facial recognition is not a substitute for the thousands of cops who quit in the wake of the Derick Chovin conviction. Say what you will about the merits of that prosecution, but the message cops themselves got was that if they actually do their job and arrest criminals, there is a chance that a politicized mob could send them to prison for the rest of their lives. The effect that had on police moral has been devastating and criminals have taken full advantage.
Is he a manager? Does that approach also work with software developers?
first of all, Judea and Samaria are historical names and predate establishment of state of Israel and it administrative division. This naming is also used by UN and going back for example to 1947 UN Partition plan: "the boundary of the hill country of Samaria and Judea starts on the Jordan River...". Denying those names is denying actual history. Denying this naming is literally supporting colonial enterprises of roman and ottoman empires who tried to remove memory of people who inhibited (continuously, i may add) this area. . Shame on you. Actually double shame, given your position against colonialism. But I guess it's selective position.

Second, you proved what other poster said about Palestinian cause. In your eyes rights of palestinians superior to rights of other people per UN charter and other international treaties. Shame on you

I find it troubling, that Samaritan people who live in area called Samaria for more than 2000 years continuously have according to you less rights than palestinians (who started to self identify only like 100 years ago). Shame on you.
Wonderful new stuff.

I heard it suggested recently that it would be interesting to build a static analysis system around proving that code was wrong (as opposed to proving that certain classes of bugs were missing). Fuzzing seems like one reasonable approach. Love the editor integration too.

there’s a rather obvious reason that predictive policing is “racist”, “biased”, “discriminatory”.
Wow, the linked story about Hisashi Ouchi is even more disturbing.
This is something those of us who grew up with the Internet don’t want to face.

Whether by nature, nurture, or some other force - user agency lives in the very long tail of any software usage.

In every category, agency drives the birth of tech but dies in the scoreboards.

Every product I’ve loved, every founder I’ve believed in, was about human possibility & creativity.

But the ones lucky enough to scale to species level adoption discover that the ethos of creation is lost in the swarm of consumption.

Perhaps I’ve arrived at a poor conclusion, but I’ve simply decided to accept that I am a fairly unusual person for wanting to craft, make choices, and discover the weird, wonderful, or just discover what I didn’t know there was to discover.

I’ve weened myself off of consumption over the years. Here’s to making all my future decisions in tech about putting my attention, energy, and thought into “what do I want to create? learn?”

I don’t think the product universe I live in will ever be dominant. But I do believe it can exist if we accept that we can either build it or trade it, but we cannot do both.
I think the rat problem is actually pretty manageable with proper standards of how trash is stored, and the use of Jack Russell Terriers. The lack of political will to put up with the mild inconvenience of the former and the brutality of the latter mean poison is chosen instead.
Maybe in England, but we fought a whole revolution not to say dumb shit like this unless and until the spirit moves us. It's why we're better.

Are they just not teaching civics anymore? Even the nuns at St. Barnabas were clear on this point with us. If this is reverse psychology trying to get me to put my hand on my heart and pledge the flag, well played.
So Google made a free service, and when it was gone, everyone realized they weren't willing to pay for it. Because it wasn't valuable to them. This is the real problem that RSS has.
There hasn't been a legal obligation to have private health insurance since the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, which was 7 years ago.

But still, your point stands, despite the specific example no longer being true.
Lots of people have no interest in cars, just like lots of people have no interest in computers. Not sure that says anything about the people’s intelligence.

Plus on a desert island you’ll probably have bigger problems than what a transmission does.

I’m not sure what you’re responding to regarding virtual magazines or fancy CRUD apps, but I’d guess that 99%+ of all web apps built are CRUD apps—fancy or otherwise.

For my money, the best rework of the American National Anthem was when Marvin Gaye performed it at the 1983 NBA All Star Game. So Smooth.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2KYZ1BritY

Clearly I'm a fan of people putting their spin on this. I take pride in American's being given free reign to interpret it how they wish. I feel like it embodies the spirit of invention, ambition, freedom, and creativity that I consider to be a (mostly) positive quality of our national character.

Maybe, if the normal "agile" definition was limited to just stories and a sprint structure of some kind - atomic user stories and short, feature centric development cycles are hard to argue against. If your intention is to liken Tailwind to SuperMegaScrumKanbanJujitsuMarketingCoderStyle agile, I can assure that there is no real similarity.
Didn't GitHub or Twitter or someone force someone to give up @Kik or similar?
Are you implying that government institutions don’t preserve problems to which they’re the solution?
Some kids need more than basic guidance, especially when about to contaminate a neighborhood.
Some things like car insurance are a legally mandated purchase from a private business.
After the news about twitch leaving South Korea I was a little curious, and Cloudflare's blog post is very interesting and explains how they try to increase peering constantly in order to drive down network bandwidth costs.

But it's mind boggling that 6 specific telecom providers are producing absurd costs for everyone around the globe: HiNet, Korea Telecom, Optus, Telecom Argentina, Telefonica, Telstra.

In the case of cloudflare those 6 providers get less than 6% of the traffic, but produce 50% of the network bandwidth costs (globally), because they are so damn expensive.

Project64 1.6 Vulnerability
It's a small stick that I can toss into my bag while traveling, plug into a hotel or airbnb tv, and watch my shows on Plex or Emby.

No other stick-like device out there "just works". I've tried so many of them over the years, but they all have issues ranging from the irritating to the unusable. I had high hopes for the Nokia stick, but it couldn't even connect to WIFI.
> Where is this precise detail coming from exactly? I suggest it's from memorization.

Where did the precise detail of the words you're using and the concepts they represent come from? Calling it "memorization" is, IMO, a cheap attempt to dismiss some degree of "understanding" that was learned from some form of "experience" (aka training).
And you're usurping Canaan from its rightful oversight by the followers of Dagon, almighty fish-god of Philippi. Shame on you! Hail Dagon (glub! glub! glub!)!
don't know if he is but the point stands regardless. the space around this question private v public is more than active enough for the writer to know better than skip past it and assume they are identical.
personally i think they are basically identical but it is a little dirty.
A (common law) lawyer has to remember and understand case law, but they also have to create analogies to explain why and how new situations are like older ones. That's one of the main parts of being a good lawyer.

AI will be disruptive to aspects of professions that rely on rote memorization or research on a large corpus of data. But many of these supposedly memorization heavy professions require the ability to go beyond one's training and extrapolate from what one remembers.
The presumption that a draft is inevitable over growing time is exactly what I'm saying is nonsense.
I've worked with Tailwind in 3 separate, huge projects, and it's infinitely easier to upkeep than the monstrosity that large SCSS/CSS codebases turn into.

There's no hunting down random css classes all over the codebase, no dealing with insane cascade issues, no idiotic specificity issues, no unused classes that everyone is afraid to touch because it might break some random div somewhere...
Imagine the horror of applying this principle to various climate change groups!
And what happens if it doesn't work? MS and Apple aren't going to change their software to work with the device, they will tell the vendor to fix it. But for linux it is the other way around.

No, npm themselves chose to take the name away from someone and give it to someone else.
The war on drugs is a great example of this. It's led to high incarceration rates in the US, particularly for minor drug offenses, without significantly reducing drug abuse rates. There's plenty of evidence that treatment and decriminalization strategies are more effective than incarceration, and yet localities in the US continue to prioritize punitive measures over reform. And so: a high demand for law enforcement and prison systems which continues to recycle the problem.
Art by definition requires self-expression. There is no self to express = there is no art.

A generated piece of music or visual work is art in the same way a tree or the Moon is art: not at all. It may seem pretty to a human observer, but that’s orthogonal to it being art, it’s just an artifact that exists.

Unfortunately, the wide availability of art-mimicking non-art artifacts devalues art.

However, paradoxically, I suspect the wide availability of ML-powered generative art is also going to raise the value of direct improvisational experience, so in the end it’s a mixed bag.

First we had no way to record, so we gathered to listen to music performers display live their hard-earned skill.

Then we got a way to record, so we could hear live performers display their skill at any time.

Then we got increasingly sophisticated audio recording, mixing, and reproduction tools, which meant what we hear on the record is not entirely performer’s mastery, but also the mastery of audio engineers & producers.

Now we cannot trust that what we listen to is anyone’s mastery, really. It can be algorithmically composed, algorithmically performed, and there is no specific set of individuals whose hard-earned skill we could admire.

The only way to experience that truly would either be to listen to pre-2024 works, or to attend live performances.
I love the Perl camel! Are there any other languages that utilize ASCII art? (I'm too lazy to look...)
“I promise to feed you as long as you eat all of it.”

“Ok sure, I’ll eat all the food all the time.”

“If I don’t eat all the food they’re going to feed me less, that isn’t an option”

What exactly do you propose? All companies are micro-utopias? Maybe it drives you crazy because you haven’t tried to see the other point of view. I imagine if you do try, it will make sense, for loose definitions of “sense”.

I’d also like to note that I agree, it is wasteful.
Unless you have a wild population of rat-dogs they'll never catch enough rats to make a dent in the rat population, and the lack of political will to put up with the occasional poisoned Jack Russell Terrier (or the quite frequent poisoned bird of prey) means that securing trash is the only method that works.
Being a cop is a high paying, low barrier to entry position. If cops quit because they want to stand in support of a convicted murderer then they definitely don’t belong in the force. Morale has nothing to do with doing your job, that sorry ass excuse wouldn’t work in any other job. The police union is a cause for most of these problems, they artificially restrict who can join the force. It needs to be dissolved and cops should be hired like a regular job, with clearances and training requirements.
I love the idea here, but i loath the example. TMI. Give the core idea, any communication points (sockets, apis etc), maybe an abstract diagram.
What is well supported by research (across domains) is that moral hazard is real and not a conspiracy.
Crime rates are generally down since the pandemic-era spike and are still extremely low compared to the norms of the 80's and 90's.

And frankly, if anyone deserves credit for creating an "us vs them" mentality between citizens and the police, it's the police. Dating back at least as far as the start of the drug war.
As a non programmer it is annoying when gpt4 assumes I know how to write code or what to insert where. I code in gpt3.5 and then ask questions in gpt4 about that code and paste answers back to 3.5 to write full code. No matter how I pleased gpt4 to write full complete Wordpress plugin in refused. Gpt3.5 on another hand is awesome

An interesting example that I came across in my _very_ limited interaction with the image generators was trying to get it to draw "a horse wearing a space suit".

I _wanted_ to see ... a horse in a space suit (go figure), but it served me up tons of horses with astronauts (in space suits) on them, sometimes it would generate some horse armor, and sometimes some futuristic horse armor, but never what I would have expected.

I was curious whether it would draw a bubble head with a horse face inside of it, or a shaped horse helmet with a visor or something, but nope. Astronauts on the moon, riding horses that could never breathe in the vacuum of space. Space-cowboy futures denied!

...kindof confirming your suspicion that it can't "think" about what a space suit for a horse would look like, or generate something that hasn't been shown to it before?
No. The point is the examples don’t directly support the contention.

Observing that the examples don’t directly support the contention doesn’t by itself validate or invalidate contention.
> Different buildings require different, occasionally novel, solutions. Not all are textbook (most aren’t.) Not all innovations are published or even widely communicated.

True, but it's mostly derivative just like LLMs. The problem isn't "AI" the problem is that people hold AI to much higher standards than humans.

AI to them means "scifi", omniscient and omnipotent. You can have AI and it still be flawed, have weaknesses and shortcomings just like people do.
your premise that killing people to take their organs is a perverse incentive doesn't make sense to me.. The person who could have a perverse incentive would be the person receiving organs, when there are far easier, cheaper, and effective ways for a physician to increase profit. Additionally, people who are sick enough to qualify are the least likely candidates for organ donation/transplantation.

Also did you even read the articles posted? It no where states or alludes to the idea that the state is providing euthanasia to solve either depression or poverty. I really don't get how you came to that conclusion. All it says is that people with severe medical disabilities who are too impoverished to get adequate care the state isn't providing would rather die. It's free to change medical regulation allowing physician assisted suicide. On the other hand, we don't even know how to solve poverty, even if the political willpower and money suddenly appeared.
Interested in a little Fear Driven Development eh? ;)
where can find reports which are filled with info graphics insights ? on various topics like blockchain, gen-ai.....
I personally do think the net benefit is positive, for the biosphere, not necessarily for human beings, which is where our action comes in. We can benefit if we choose to benefit.

A wealthier world building the infrastructure to handle the negative effects does not look how you think it does. It doesn't look like a unified concerted effort to hold back the tide in a figurative sense. It looks like communities that live on shorelines building levees, to hold back the tide in a literal sense. What you want and what need to be done are not the same things. You can't say we have failed just because the solution isn't what you wish it were. The world is changing and people will manage.
Explaining and utilizing bootstrapping would make this post even longer and much more difficult to understand for non-statisticians.

Bootstrapping is best used for compensating for low amounts of data, which is why I suggested a change going to forward is to generate much more synthetic data.
It seems kind of pointless to debate it in this context with someone who is giving their professional opinion.
Once you start using dedicated dev servers (like Vite) with the preprocessing happening live, the problem becomes much less of a problem.

That's why Twitch gives you tons of tools to schedule ads and manually trigger them at less disruptive times. It requires the streamer to care about not disrupting their stream enough to plan ahead and preemptively run ads and not just hope they auto-run at the right time.

This very seldom happens to actual competitive events (which often have special deals that require them to run less ads), and most bigger streamers have worked out running ads between games.
Sounds great. I was playing a lot of Exapunks[1] when my son was little and we started playing a game in real life where I would use the Exapunks commands to tell him what to do. Like

LINK HALLWAY
GRAB BALL
LINK BEDROOM
DROP BALL

etc... Then he would tell me what to do. It was fun.

Hmm - all they sent me was the following “we can do better” text:

“It's AT&T. We apologize for Thursday's outage, which may have impacted you. As a valued customer, your connection matters and we are committed to doing better.”
I agree with some of the points, but regarding the food and being in the hospital, those statements are really harsh. It's painful, but he said the truth and based on his post those description implied really serious alternatives (dying, getting sick due to extreme cold).

I would give kudos for honesty
I guess Amazon will likely just pay just to move on.
Doctors also go to school to be doctors for 12 extra years. It turns out that medicine is hard. Not really a good reason to turn to an LLM that will just confidently make things up.
> For example, what is the type signature for subtraction of two NonZeroNumbers? You can't guarantee that it isn't zero, so it has to be a Number.

You can encode this failure as well, so at least the possibility becomes explicit:

NonZero -> NonZero -> Either NonZero Number

Oleg also showed you can make an even safer statically checked version with pretty standard type theory and modules:

We outspend all other countries on policing by a wide margin. I think we'll be ok with a few thousand fewer cops (and no facial recognition).
A lot of the words he uses in that tweet aren't well defined. e.g. memorization, dataset (does he mean the literal words/tokens or any token that is close in space after embedding?), pattern, category, program. The tweet is practically meaningless. I'm not criticizing him because his blog post is nuanced and he clearly understands what he's talking about, but that tweet almost certainly means something quite specific to him and he's communicating quite poorly.

As you mention, there is a sophisticated representation of the tokens. It's so sophisticated that one may reasonably stop calling them tokens (or, even data) and start calling them "concepts". Now, if someone (or something) has memorized how all the concepts go together... that's pretty darn intelligent.
African liberation movements. The successfully fought colonialism, got into power and instead of dispanding and letting technocrats run the countries to improve things like roads, healthcare, access to water. They continue to "fight" imperialism and other ills that are literally impossible to define.
I've always wondered what Japanese console style games would look like on the Amiga and whether it was underpowered or I just didn't like the design of most of it's games.
