Ok. So then I guess it isn't "just a belief that magic".

Instead, it is so true and possible that you think it is actually obvious!

I'm glad you got convinced in a singular post that recursive self improvement, in the obvious way, is so true and real that it is obviously true and not magic.

In the heart of the Georgian city of Bath we have 3 streets designed by the architect John Wood.

Thanks for your contribution to the total destruction of outside roaming and play for children.

It is perfectly fine to let an 11 year old walk a couple blocks unsupervised. And if they steal a car at that point, it is not a supervision problem.
Those are all reasonable points, but:

For shell scripts, I would argue quite vehemently that the most important goals should be correctness and readability, with performance being a very distant third concern. I'd even be tempted to argue that performance shouldn't be a consideration at all, except of course that argument would be misinterpreted to support some absurd edge case until I'd have to admit that of course performance is a little bit of a concern. But in any case, I can't recall a single example of a cat pipe being the root cause of an unacceptable performance problem in a shell script.

On the readability point, the example that probably irritates me most often is a cat pipe into some commands into a while loop. I much prefer this:

cat file.conf | sed -e 's/pattern/replacement/g' -e 's/reallybigolhonkinpattern/other-replacement/g' | tr... | while read line; do...

to this:

sed -e 's/pattern/replacement/g' -e 's/reallybigolhonkinpattern/other-replacement/g' wrongfile.conf | tr... | while read line; do...

or this:

sed -e 's/pattern/replacement/g' -e 's/reallybigolhonkinpattern/other-replacement/g' | tr... | while read line; do
stuff...
done < file.conf

...and that's a pretty common pattern where the edge case of reading input from a terminal doesn't apply.

So this is the kind of thing that makes me go "shut up shellcheck" instead of "thanks shellcheck!"

As a bystander, I definitely agree that Retell's demo wins on latency — it felt pretty close to human. The voice also sounds more natural to my ears (not sure why, since Nero is apparently using Eleven Labs for voices, and Eleven's voices usually sound pretty good to me).

Playing around with the Nero demo, it also feels pretty... broken? I never actually managed to make a booking with Nero; it seemed to often not be able to tell I was done speaking, and would just hang after a couple back-and-forths. Still impressive for a one-man demo built quickly, but they don't feel in the same league.

I do wish Retell's pricing was cheaper, though; $6/hr is pretty much the cost of a call center employee in India, and LLMs still perform below the average human on most things. That being said, I imagine the cost of Retell will come down as the tech advances, and LLMs will also improve over time.

I just randomly started learning Ruby for shits and giggles over this last week, so I'd love to hear more of why not to go down this path (not that I necessarily would hit the brakes)

I've also been dabbling in Go over the last year or so and really enjoyed playing around with it, but I do find it a bit verbose. On the other hand, its performance is really impressive.

One of the things that surprises me about our hopes for AI is the belief that it will somehow imbue us with creative powers that we don’t have.

The idea that GPT is
going to make you funny is a bit like thinking you could be John Lennon if GPT would teach you how to play guitar.

GPT might help you pass off some bit of wit in an email, but any art it creates (comedy is art) is going to be circumscribed by its inability to be truly creative rather than merely copy/regurgitate existing material. And the reason art is hard is because people are extremely perceptive about what is actually creative/funny/surprising. You can’t fake it.

Curiously, the "large surface area hiding flaws" is actually what happened with RSA. Examples are

1. (large) speedups in solving it in the 90s,
2. issues where if enough of your key leaks, it can all be recovered. This leakage can occur via certain side-channel attacks
3. the "easy RSA" people learn is hard to make secure, which perhaps took a decade of doing very wrong to get right. By this, I mean padding attacks on RSA.

As for understanding LWE, see for example the blog posts

The crisis in Europe, the unpredictability of American politics, and the mounting tensions with China make Japan a attractive alternative for investing right now.

Japan has been in an economic stasis for decades, some believe this to be triggered by the 1985 Plaza Accords which devalued the Dollar against the Mark and the Yen.

Germany recovered from that shock by absorbing East Germany and pushing EU integration. Japan did not have this options, but the new multipolar world order might give them an opportunity.

This will probably be to the detriment of Germany and the US, which both probably would like to increase the value of the yen.

But given that the American are not perceived as a reliable partner right now, I do not see something like the Plaza Cords coming again any time soon.

> I don't think it's simple.

I mean, it kinda is. If you're a Go developer that went further than hello world, you will probably be aware of these two possibilities:

If . contains a "main" package then it's "go run .", otherwise the source for the binaries probably reside in "./cmd/X" and you have to run "go run cmd/X".

You can probably find Go projects that don't follow these rules, but I doubt anyone would want to interact with them.
This is the exact same mindset that invented the word “Latinx”. Compress most of an entire hemisphere of ethnic and cultural diversity down to the vague concept of “Latino”, notice that Spanish is a gendered language so the word “Latino” is also gendered, completely forget that you already have the gender neutral English word “Latin”, invent a new word that virtually none of the people to whom it applies actually identifies with, and then shamelessly use it all the time.

this is quite the post.

- if you can drive to work, school, shopping, etc. and not see some junkie panhandling, or a squatter in an RV dumping sewage on the street or needles or trash or human shit, then great for you. you live in a entitled bubble. if you can park your car on a public street without a good chance that it's windows be broken or it's cat be thieved, then good for you. the reality speaks otherwise to most of the rest of us.

> Record numbers of Americans can't afford rent.

true

> Is it any wonder that drug use, homelessness, squatting, and crimes like shoplifting/theft are rising?

nope

> Punish addicts instead of helping them?

you can't help them unless you can force treatment. you can't force them into treatment if they are "free". i'm not saying that this is how it is now except in a few places, but the obvious solution is to enforce, strongly the laws and then allow them to choose treatment as a diversion, with the proviso that failing means back to square one. in my book doing anything more lenient is not "helping", it's actually a death sentence.

> A 12 year does not benefit from a prison sentence. Do you honestly think that's going to keep them from committing crimes later on in life?

no and no. a stint in juvee is what the damn kid needs. sadly if you're stealing cars and carrying guns at 12-13, you're a piece of shit and probably beyond help.

> Hard disagree. There is plenty of research...

bullshit. you didn't respond to what i actually wrote: "it's a symptom, a result". this whole thread is about a string of car thefts so obvious that it makes global news. you can't plausibly argue that there's not enough incarceration or that crime is at a multi-generational low.

at the end of the day here the deal: if i (wisely) forfeit the responsibility of my own protection to the state, i really expect that it simply holds it's end of the bargain. which means: if i catch someone stealing from me that the state somehow does something to make sure that doesn't happen again. i really don't care if it's cheaper or not to re-rehabilitate vs. incarcerate. i certainly don't give 2 shits about his broken family, etc. if the best thing for society as a whole is for diversion and therapy, etc., i don't oppose it. but he better the f*ck not do it again to me or someone else. if that fails, then screw it, it's not better than anarchy.

Modelling video as a series of frames seems like such a waste; and a great point of focus for optimisation.

The vast majority of video content has a lot of redundant inter-frame information. De-duping this is a key part of most compression schemes and (as an AI simpleton) seems like on obvious entry point for minimising token usage. Or is this simply a case where token windows are expected to / have already grown to a point where this sort of optimisation is not needed?

> I always find video really slow and not very information dense

That always depends on the actual "information". Some stuff is "better" in written form, other things need audio and for other video is neccesary. Trivial thing is needing audio to e.g. hear music (yes, even if I can read musical notation) or pronunciation, intonation and accentuation of words or videos of physical "movement" in sports, crafts and art (dancing, theater,...).

But no, I wouldn't watch somebody programming for hours instead of reading about that either.

If so, did you do a code review of the server code?

You might be right.

On the absolute forefront, it has to be artisanal.

But we can learn to scale making the machines that were cutting edge two years ago.

Maybe ASML just doesn’t do this because they leave it to other companies? Either way, somebody should be the one that’s always two years behind but makes 2000 machines a year.

And of course, when you remove a bottleneck, you find another. But that other bottleneck will be wider.

In that case, it would have been necessary to specify the language they come from. The only hints given were 'classes' and 'modules'. Is it Java, Python, JavaScript, C++, Swift, Ruby, VB.NET? All these languages have classes and modules, and they all draw the line of encapsulation at different layers.
