Education in the US is a big big deal. It takes up 18-30 years of our lives, employs over 10% of our workforce, and is responsible for 60% of non-mortgage/non-car debt. Even a minor improvement to education could be a big deal.

I played around creating GPTs to see how AI could improve the different roles that education plays in society.

One GPT asks you questions to understand what you already know about a subject and then walks you through a personalized curriculum to fill in your gaps.

Another GPT interviews you for a job and determines whether you have the skills needed to do it.

Another GPT entertains a kid with a D&D adventure while teaching them the subject of your choice.

All of these are far from perfect, but they are already compelling enough that it's clear that AI has the potential to massively change education.

Interesting just made a quick test and I'm off by around 30%, seconds seem to be faster by that amount.
I think I added them up separately and normalized by 50% because my brain loves to make shit hard.
When the latter group gets big enough, they may command enough sway to ensure the opposite occurs at chopping time. There is no guarantee that a business optimizes for the correct metrics, that the business has any ability to influence those metrics, or that the metrics are even valid/optimized for.

Anecdotal observation is that extremely successful businesses are often marvels of inefficiency as there is simply no need to make the business efficient. Efficiency is often contrary to employee goals as well.

Making a successful and well run business is very difficult.

Wow do I disagree with this article. I tried to lose weight for 2 years, nothing. I then started running every day, first 1/4 mile, then 1/2 mile then 1, then 2 then 3 miles per day. I went down 5 notches on my belt from 2 months of doing that. Perhaps I did not lose weight, but I lost fat, which was actually the goal. For me, I don't like feeling hungry, and would rather run 3 miles and be able to eat another 500 kcals without worrying, and be in better health overall. I recommend it.
...I'd like to think that we can do a bit better than that. The world could have done without things like Tetra-Ethyl-Lead, Thalidomide, and all the other fd things we've ended up with as a result of just letting the machine whirr on. We need to recognize that perverse incentives exist, the system is vulnerable to them, and as our technical prowess increases, the consequences of even one lapse are becoming larger and broader in scale beyond, in some cases, our ability to handle it by just winging it, and not* applying some level of precautionary principle.
I'm arguing that it's largely the same as a counter-protest.

A counter-protest is primarily trying to overwhelm someone else's speech, not to tell people anything. But it still gets classified as speech.

Is there a crucial difference I'm missing here?
Interesting apprach, This makes sense and I wonder why people aren't talking more about it. I have a suspiction that companies would be paying people way more money if it wasn't for the pesky unions. This is also the reason why companies fight tooth-and-nail against unions. They do it out of kindness for the workers, so they are able to pay the workers more in the long run. People need to talk more about this, it's called corporate kindheartedness.

Microphones and cameras may sound like a stretch, unless it's a super top-secret alien technology that hasn't been publicly revealed. For example, the data collected might be so minimal and in a different format exclusive to the top-secret alien technology file systems. Cameras would likely not capture HD pictures but rather minimum images that are still useful. Similarly, audio data might be compressed to the smallest usable format.

If the data is public or semi-public then chances are I consented to display that data there. I consented to it being used on that site, for the purpose of that site. Not for random other companies.

And most scraping isn't done by users. It's done by companies. For profit. Often for less than enlightened reasons.

LinkedIn is a good example: I want my data displayed to people on that job site. I don't want it harvested by every recruiter under the sun who will then spam me. I certainly don't want that data sold between those recruiters long after I deleted my account on LinkedIn. Tinder and sites like that are also an obvious example: yes it's (semi-)public, but I also wouldn't want it to be scraped and harvested by some company – I just want it to be shown temporarily to a limited set of people.

I once found myself randomly drinking with a guy at a bar in SF who claimed he was there for a law enforcement conference. He told me that there was indeed code in the baseband processor of most phones (brought in together with the E911 requirements) that allow law enforcement to not only send the location of any phone but also record audio.

Of course, he might have just been bullshitting me.

You are describing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baseband_processor#Security_co...

By isolating the memory the baseband processor can access, it's possible to limit the impact of its compromise. So of course it's nearly impossible for a consumer to figure out which phones do this isolation.
It's very nice that there exists something like that. I am an author of one of the similar apps [1] someone listed in a different thread. I was hoping I could get in touch with someone like you who could give me some feedback on how to make my app more accessible for users like you. I really want to it be an "LLM for all" kind of app but despite my best efforts and intention, I suck at it. Any chance of getting in touch with you and get some feedback? Only if you want and have time, no pressure at all.

> To the nearest IXP?

Actually yeah, that sounds like the correct metric to use.
>> In retrospect, I realized that many of the aspects of the puncture—the position (curled over the side of the bed), the needles (18g, very large), the type (cutting needles), and that it wasn’t done under guidance—all contributed to my leak being complex but to the fact that I obtained a spinal leak from the procedure.

>> The hospital’s advice to lay down that evening and then just carry on as normal also prevented self-healing after a procedure with all of those risk factors. I did not know that many of the things I did—like shaving my legs in the shower, bending in certain ways, lifting a jug of milk, etc. were all things that likely impeded my healing at a critical time.

Well I did get a lumbar puncture when I was a kid, hospitalized for mumps. I recall being upright, on a chair, hugging the chair's back seat, didn't hurt excessively. But reading the story, the difference was that after the puncture I laid flat in bed for a long time, further scared by the doctors that moving around will make me sick. Which, I guess it's true, this is the first time I hear of a CSF leak.

That's what getting VC/investor money does to organizations that previously followed high ideals in open source. Automattic raised ~$150m around 2020. Now they are paying the price for letting the vultures in.
Because it was a while ago and I wouldn’t be surprised if someone ripped it out.

It’s a bit of an overkill for what it’s used for / the fact that it is not used widely in the app.
`let` defines a new binding, as opposed to changing the value of an existing binding. You can't remove `let` to keep only `=` because it has a different use case.

Not indicating the type is idiomatic in Rust, but you can annotate it:

let commit_message: String = repo.head().peel_to_commit().ok()?.message()?.into();

Here this is useful to specify the type `into` should convert to. However, if rewritten as:

let commit_message = repo.head().peel_to_commit().ok()?.message()?.to_string();

Then it is useless because we're already specifying the type of the variable by using `to_string`.

Note that IDEs are displaying type hints anyway (without you having to type them), so you don't have to suffer if walking through a codebase where people are annotating their types too little for comfort

I'm excited about the social songwriting aspect here. It honestly hadn't occurred to me. It makes a ton of sense and it's something I wish I had when I was younger and searching for bandmates or songwriting accomplices. The idea that you can put an unfinished piece of your music out there with the intention that someone else helps turn it into something greater just feels like a direct hit on what the internet is for. Good luck with this!
Voters?

That’s proven not to be true. Ask all the SC garment workers or the New England shoe factory workers…

No, people want cheap even if that means their neighbors Steve and Diane lose their jobs, go on welfare and they end up paying more in taxes as a result offsetting their savings in cheaper textiles and shoes!

So… yeah, no. They want less expensive cars from Mexique.

And the pols want those nice Corp contributions… they do not represent their voting constituency.

> One of the things is that ChatGPT can give some pretty radically different results even with the exact same prompt

The underlying models are in principle deterministic. There is random sampling used, but there is a pseudorandom seed parameter you can supply to get reproducible results. [0] However, while the OpenAI APIs expose that parameter, the consumer-facing ChatGPT product doesn't.

Well, almost deterministic. OpenAI has some internal-only config settings they can change which will change the results even with the same model version and seed; they expose a system_fingerprint value in the response which lets you know when they've changed those settings. (They don't document what it means, but it looks like it is likely based on an abbreviated Git commit hash from some internal config repo of theirs.)

And, apparently, there is a small chance it can generate different results even with the same seed and an unchanged system fingerprint. Apparently, different nodes can run different GPUs which can produce slightly different results due to differences in floating point rounding, operations being performed in parallel which finish in slightly different orders, etc. The underlying mathematics is 100% deterministic, so OpenAI can make it all 100% deterministic if they really wanted to. But maybe that has some performance cost, and maybe perfect determinism is not something they care about enough to pay that performance cost.

Fraction of the cost? Really? That’s less than a single junior dev fully loaded. Laughable you would even consider this at $2B revenue.
The exercise versus diet debate for weight loss pops up occasionally, and the entire framing feels wrong to me.

I lost nearly 100 lbs, and I've kept it off for five years now. Sample size of one, yes, but I've talked to a lot of other people who've gotten healthier, and they say similar things.

It's not about the most effective way to reduce the number on the scale - I suspect most people prioritizing that will find middling success, and probably will see it reversed eventually.

It's about understanding how our bodies work, why certain choices are healthier than others, and making the conscious decision to embrace a new lifestyle with all the personal costs and benefits that entails.

If you do that, you will be improving your diet and also getting more exercise. You'll want to do both, and the question of how much of each contributes to the number on the scale vanishes as you feel better and better each month.

I think testing is very important. But it's very hard to test everything. (It is not hard to get 100% test coverage by some metric, but that does not mean that all scenarios or even the most useful ones are covered.) So it's an economics game: how can you get the most value for the least amount of money? Or if you want me to rephrase that in a more-positive way: how can you get the most value out of the time that you have available? And I contend that a shift "up" in the pyramid (at which time it looses that shape, hence the "testing trophy") is where the current sweet spot lies. You have to use the tools that you have.
What have you had from there that's unappealing?

You sure it's not an issue with your local location? I've had a wide variety of quality from their stores.
Data and network systems tend towards centralization.

They simply work more effectively.

More specifically - having all actors in the same ecology ensures more opportunities for interaction.

Platforms are synonymous with a standard way to connect to nodes on their network.

I’m increasingly certain that (to some extent) platforms would be more effective if treated as public goods.

At the same time the idea of a public good platform is far too close to big brother.

Case in point - the great firewall of China.

That I agree with.
I've seen ideas along these lines before, and hope this one takes off. The first time I saw it was an EMagic plugin just before Apple bought Logic... it was really cool, you were in some sort of chat room with other musicians, you'd download the tracks locally, record a new track, and upload it. But it made the uploading and downloading really easy with a nice UI, and it was annoying when it got discontinued.
I seem to remember reading that international postal unnions classify some countries, including China, as developing nations and getting subsidized air traffic conditions. Thus everyone else is effectively paying for their ability to ship goods worth only a few cents.

I worked on Scuba, inside and outside of Meta (Interana), and yeah - It was expensive AF. I recommend focusing on metrics first. Use analytics logging sparingly, and understand the statistics of how metrics work, because without understanding those statistics you'll misread your events anyway.

This is not to say that wide events aren't worth it - For many things, something like Scuba or Bigquery are invaluable. There's ways to optimize. But we're talking about "One of AWS's largest machines" vs "A couple cores", and I suggest learning Prometheus first.
Just to add, there's also a (Chicago) school of thought that pushes back against mocks and fakes, so even if you're religiously (to stick with the metaphore) writing unit tests, you might still not invest in mocks and fakes.
I always saw unions as a bureaucratic/political layer that sits on top of workers, collecting money without contributing.

I also don't think that people should all get the same pay or collectively bargain. Some people work harder, invest more in their skills, bring a better attitude, etc. They should get paid more.
Okay so it's not just me. I feel like the map issues have been absolutely infuriating recently. There are also offline maps that are downloaded as well so I don't understand how the maps are so awful. I don't remember it being this bad in 2019/2020.

An odd thing to say for a SWE. There's huge differences in the quality of apps, both from a user perspective and an internal/dev perspective.
The way I've had it described is that when two objects of the same shape pitch for optimal glide (i.e. highest L/D) then the heavier one will reach the ground sooner (go faster), but both will take the exact same path and land the same distance away. In other words, same L/D.

This is not the explanation you are looking for, but "aha the heavier object takes the same path but drops faster" was what made me okay with L/D not depending on weight.
