That is not at all how science works. Outside of Mathematics, there is no such thing as Truth, only conjectures of varying certainties.

Also, research journals are really just fancy forum boards where researchers in a particular fields talk to each other, and even occasionally shit talk. They aren't ever supposed to be a source of truth, and in fact the first thing we learnt as grad student is how to critically read a research journal article and try to poke holes in the study. We are supposed to assume that the articles are wrong, until we can be convinced that they are likely to be correct.

Sometimes I think Google Scholars is a mistake. The general public aren't supposed to be exposed to research literature.
My wife got POTS for the first time in 2022, but we tested and tested and tested, we both never got Covid - but I have been suspecting that the tests were just junk. No other time in our life did her autoimmune issues that basically went away 8 years ago, came back 10x harder. Same thing with almost all of your symptoms. She's finally slowly getting better, but she still can't eat gluten right now.

From wikipedia:

Up to 500 whole auks are packed into the seal skin, beaks and feathers included. As much air as possible is removed from the seal skin before it is sewn up and sealed with seal fat, which repels flies. It is then hidden in a heap of stones, with a large rock placed on top to keep the air out. Over the course of three months, the birds ferment, and are then eaten during the Arctic winter, particularly on birthdays and weddings.

Things were rough up there

Often during early development I don’t want to share my code with others. Obviously a compiler on my machine could make a secret internet connection, but I guess that would be noticed, and certainly couldn’t be later denied.

Can I be at all sure you aren’t keeping a copy of all source you are ever submitted?

Usually I eventually submit to GitHub, then CI occurs, and all is public. However, only getting fast building on CI doesn’t motivate me that much, I don’t care if I burn GitHub/Microsoft’s CPU cycles as much as I mind about my own :)
my take based on several such articles. 8-10M ago humans (big apes that we were back then) got the ability to metabolize alcohol, ie. all those plentiful of fermenting/rotting fruit on the ground became food. That in particular allowed for less tree climbing, more walking on the floor. That, in particular for the purposes of self-defense and body calories storage - to more body mass - that in turn to less tree climbing, more walking (posture change, hands more "handy"). How far the walking? Well, about 2M ago (clocked by the divergent mutations in the tapeworm shared by hyenas and humans, and which has a lifecycle stage in antelope/gazelle) humans got additional powerful energy source - started to scavenge carcasses in savannah, ie. meat eating. That naturally led to the tools (more specifically - weapons) use - hyena has teeth, yet we had hands and the bones to be used as a weapon were right were so to speak. Sticks and stones would do to. Hyenas chances weren't good. Pack of hyenas - well, we were also walking the savannah not alone. So the tools(weapons) usage, pack/tribal organization, energetic food source - that all leads to brain development as well as enabled and improved by such a development. Other fermented foods, food storage and fire seems to be seemingly important points associated with improved tools, social organization and associated brain development.
I feel like low heat would be beneficial to bacteria, instead of killing them...?
Yeah I have similar memories. By now they are memories of recalled memories, degraded like an old VHS tape. But I am certain they are real because they meant a lot to me when I was very young (but older than a toddler). I.e. I have toddler memories I often returned to as a young kid.

Yes, that would be great, but unfortunately there are application teams (particularly in the enterprise) lacking such tact when blaming infrastructure for issues.

Good old silos are alive and well, and ownership is not always part of the culture.
Getting people to pay for something isn't the same thing as making the world a better place. You'd need to figure out all the effects and costs of the service to know if you're doing good or bad. Tobacco companies sell things that a lot of people desire, but the effect on society is surely negative. Same could be true for social media and many other types of services, but we don't know because we're not really trying to figure that out. The only question we ask when we are starting a business is "are people willing to pay for this enough to make a profit?". We don't ask if the effect of that service is actually good for society or the world.

No, you ask for what you want. "Person X has air in their Aorta, I need a doctor quickly, this is an emergency!"

Similarily if the person with the Java question needed an expert to do something for them they could have asked: "Any Java expert here willing to take a job? You can contact me at foo@bar.org"

Your question is valid if you're the doctor yourself and just need a piece of knowledge to fix things yourself (as isn't uncommon in the programming world)
Yeah, I just added an edit to the submission noting that the x-axis is indeed Time while the y-axis can be values such as duration, frequency, intervals
Yes exactly. Thanks. Voice cloning was indeed the suggestion made above.

The ethical challenge in my opinion, is that your status as living human narrator on a video is now irrelevant, when you're replaced by voice cloning. Perhaps we'll see a new book by "George Orwell" soon. We don't need the real man, his clone will do.
This has been standard practice where I’m at for at least a decade. I don’t know if the jobs were even posted, but we always felt short staffed. It turned out the Sr Dir would always hold back at least 3 position and leave them unfilled, so when layoffs came (which happens at least twice a year), he could simply give up those reqs and it would appear to the team that we were unaffected and operations could keep running as normal.

It wasn’t until I made it into the VPs inner circle that I found out how the game was played.
I love your website and your games!

So wholesome to see someone still loving to use the 6502 :)
If I report that "I did this, and then this happened". That's close enough to the truth to call it that. It's available in not just Mathematics: Chemistry, Physics for example.

Then you have the type: "I saw this interesting thing", and that's also close enough to the truth. Geology, Astronomy, Archeology are examples.

That's a study.

But if I look at my own navel and decide "I like this idea because it makes sense to me", that's not a study. That type should get a different name. Theoretical Physics is the high quality version of this.

I'm not saying there's no value in this type of thing!! Just that it's not a study.

Maybe call them "research papers".

> Sometimes I think Google Scholars is a mistake. The general public aren't supposed to be exposed to research literature.

Yikes!!! So basically you want people to be sheep and just listen to what they are told, with no access to underlying material?

I'd rather people look at the source, and understand it poorly, vs not look at it at all.

This is true if you require the same amount of income to maintain your lifestyle, but if you've been working in tech for 20 years, you have savings.

Sorry to hear about your wife. As grandparent comment implies, it’s likely not just COVID that causes these autoimmune problems, but COVID is the thing that most people in recent times got that caused this, so it gets the most press. From my research I discovered that ME/CFS/Lupus and a lot of other autoimmune related illnesses have been documented in medicine for decades but until COVID the medical field largely considered these illnesses as mostly just a fringe medical phenomena for interested researchers that was blown off by modern medical practitioners because the science to understand it is incomplete. Now that enough people like myself and you on behalf of your wife are out talking about it, the hope is that science will eventually catch up and figure out why this kind of thing happens

Hello, I'm glad you find it useful. I aimed to create something that would serve a purpose. If you can provide me details about use case you are trying to solve, I may add a feature to llmdantic to support it. Right now:

After initialize llmdantic you can get the prompt by running the following command:

"""
from llmdantic import LLMdantic, LLMdanticConfig

from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI

llm = ChatOpenAI()

config: LLMdanticConfig = LLMdanticConfig(
objective="Summarize the text",
inp_schema=SummarizeInput,
out_schema=SummarizeOutput,
retries=3,
)

llmdantic = LLMdantic(llm=llm, config=config)

input_data: SummarizeInput = SummarizeInput(
text="The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog."
)

prompt: str = llmdantic.prompt(input_data)
"""

But here you need to provide a langchain llm model. If you do not want to use langchain llm model, you can use the following code:

"""
from llmdantic.prompts.prompt_builder import LLMPromptBuilder

from llmdantic.output_parsers.output_parser import LLMOutputParser

output_parser: LLMOutputParser = LLMOutputParser(pydantic_object=SummarizeOutput)

prompt_builder = LLMPromptBuilder(
objective="Summarize the text",
inp_model=SummarizeInput,
out_model=SummarizeOutput,
parser=output_parser,
)

data: SummarizeInput = SummarizeInput(text="Some text to summarize")

prompt = prompt_builder.build_template()

print(prompt.format(input=data.model_dump()))
"""

But here still we use langchain for the prompt building. If you any questions, feel free to ask I will be happy to help you.
As someone who has worked in an environment like this for a long time, those people still exist. Everyone on the team generally knows who’s at the bottom and would get let go. Ideally there are enough open positions to cover the layoffs, but that’s not always the case.
For me I had a little phase of not understanding the despair and hatred I received for forking Audacity at the time. I didn't understand why people would do that, and neither why they decide to have "fun" being a bully online and lying about things that never happened. When /pol/ and kiwifarms came at me, I wasn't sure how to deal with that, especially because most rumors supposedly happened when I was asleep, not even reacting to what was happening at the time.

So it kind of resulted in a phase that you are describing, where I kind of gave up on open source and gave up on doing the things that I loved to do before.

What I can recommend, heavily: shut off your phone, go outside for a couple weeks, no tech, no internet, nobody nagging or forcing you to do anything. And listen. To nature, to the environment, to what you think. Take with you a notebook and a pen, and write down your thoughts. Persist on not going online, and fight the addiction.

Social detox and meditation is much more efficient than one might think, if you have no predefined goal on what you want to do. If your goals are set by external influences, you won't be happy with it.

Best wishes, I understand how hard it can be sometimes. Don't lose your head in things you don't want to do.
This does make sense. I think it's also possible that most of the successes PG sees are people doing something interesting to them. So the argument would be more like: among success stories, true interest is more common than trend chasing.

In the 2003-2005 time frame I worked on a new cellphone project. I had a C++ library of Lisp-like objects which ended up used in a few places, like for inter-process communication between several pieces, like between the mail transport and home screen p lugin. A programmer working on an IMAP4 transport noticed that it used Lisp and my stuff could be applied to it almost directly, including a pattern matching function I had, which turned out to work fine for classifying and validating IMAP4 responses.

It was not ever meant to be a language, but I eventually added function definition and evaluation which gave rise to VoqLisp. I have VoqLisp bindings to various APIs, and documented it; it ended up used by QA for testing.

VoqLisp had dynamic scope ("deep binding"), but with lexical capture. The initial dynamic frames of top-level forms, and of invoked functions, were marked with a lexical contour bit. There was a lambda which captured dynamic frames up to the closest containing lexical contour bit. When a lambda was invoked, the captured, lexically-delimited dynamic environment was inserted around it, after the parameter bindings, before the caller's dynamic environment. This made it possible for tests to use "let over lambda" to customize global parameters, and then run the lambda with the customized parameters in a separate thread.
> But it is no longer updated, is it?

Essentially, yes, but that’s because Apple’s new linker is so much faster than it was. You can use it instead.
I think it’s similar to that, but the analogy doesn’t quite hold.

It’s a bit more like they’re there, on the hard drive, but they aren’t in the FAT.

Our memories operate on association, be that by topic or by causal chain. Infant memories are laid down without those associations.

I have some early conscious memories - I remember my second birthday, our neighbour walking on stilts in his garden, finding a snake in a gutter at the end of our garden - things which left an impression. I know these are memories as my parents have zero recall of any of these events, yet talking to my au pair of the time a few years ago, she, who was present, does remember the stilts, and the snake.

Interestingly, since having an infant daughter of my own, I feel those primordial memories that I don’t consciously recall far more presently - I’ll cuddle her just so, or will tuck her into bed, or will make stupid noises while feeding her, and will have a moment of “she is the baby. I am the baby. She is the baby” with either just a feeling of familiarity or in some cases a brief glimpse of visual information.

It’s an interesting topic - along with how “past life” memories form, as apparently about as soon as I could talk I was keen to lecture anyone who would listen on mongol siege warfare in the levant.
I can kind of see why this is all the case: IP geolocating can be assumed to be generally useful, locale settings expressed by the browser and/or operating system could have been explicitly set or just left as what they came out of the box and thus unreliable.

It could be due to pay. Some companies adjust pay based on where people live, adjusted for COL. CA and NY tend to be on the high end. Just one possible theory, there could be many other reasons.
Well...that is certainly something.

I am still bewildered as to how the method was discovered. Taking valuable seals and birds to run multi-month experiments does not seem like it would make you a popular fellow. Best case scenario, you discovered a way of making what sounds a vile, but technically edible, flesh paste.

The extended quote from the Wikipedia page notes some people have died from preparing it improperly

Polar explorer Knud Rasmussen's death is attributed to food poisoning by kiviaq.[5][6] In August 2013 several people died in Siorapaluk from eating kiviak that was made from eider rather than auk. Eider does not ferment as well as auk, and those who ate it contracted botulism.[7]
None of the ways you mentioned are the most optimal, or do I say, even valid ways to achieve a certain social goal.

Content control geo fencing is only recent, and streaming was there and will continue to be there long after IP geofencing stops being a practice. In fact, I believe if the technology wasn't around, streaming would have been accessible to more people.

Any amateur "carder" (what credit card thieves call themselves) knows that IP geolocation is in fact good for them, because they can easily load up a proxy or VPN, making this arbitrary, problematic (read: tracking) factor in their favour to steal money and commit identity fraud. There are easily accessible programs online that provide ZIP code accurate IP proxies.

I can go on and on about how terrible IP Geolocation is for almost everyone.

"...'People/Media,' they can pick classes that don't even touch fundamental aspects of computing such as databases, networking, compilers, programming languages, and so on."

There is a lot of this. Many students are not suited to a technical degree, but the college wants their tuition. So call a program CS, while removing all the technical stuff.

So what, if the student will go out, get a CS job, and fall on their face? It's not the college's problem at that point. /s
Thank you AI, very cool.
I agree with you, but PG’s definition of rich in the article is people worth $10 billion dollars plus.

I don’t think he’s being malicious. I think he genuinely just doesnt see a $5-10m NW as rich.
Depends on how you measure individual outcomes. Arguably, a life lived passionately is the best individual outcome, even if it doesn't result in you becoming rich. Maybe that's a privileged thing to say, and certainly if someone following their passions is staring down the barrel of poverty then they might want to rebalance in favor of their financial health, but in the absence of dire financial circumstances, passion is a good compass to follow. Certainly many people volunteer their time for causes they are passionate about, with no expectation of financial reward, and are happier for doing so.

What PG is noting is that sometimes (even if rarely), what an individual is passionate about can also be good for investors. But the passion comes first.

I’ve heard of this before as well. I’ve actually looked at applying for some internal jobs and was told not to bother, because it was the posting for a certain person.

Had it happen for me once as well. A new team was being formed that I was part of. I was given a certain job post ID to apply for that was meant for me. Some people got upset, because they were told to apply for a level 2 position, when they saw a level 3 or 4 position was also out there that they wanted to go for… but the decisions had already been made.
