This is why I didn't take it when I got my undergrad. I was good at formulas and bad at memorization. I'm taking it now 20 years later after getting an EMT certification and realizing that yes I can do memorization. That said I'm taking intro bio right now and it's not that much memorization. End goal os ti take org to see how bad it is.
It's not tampering if nothing is erased, and if the only action is to disable biometric identification going forward.

My high school biology teacher (Ms Dinnetz, Kungsholmen's Gymnasium) was absolutely amazing. She had a way of really briging the material to life, or rather, to death. That is, every time she taught us a new concept she would describe the way we'd die without that concept. An extremely memorable class.
Very good explanation!

> “I did this one thing here with data type A, and I’m doing something similar with data type B; let’s just create some abstraction for both of them!”

I'm guilty of this. I even fought hard against the people who wanted to keep the code duplicated for the different data types.

> If a private company was given the same 38k per student with the mandate “fix the graduation issue or you’re fired” the graduation rate would absolutely change.

Often when an ultimatum along these lines happens, whether public or private, the problem winds up being "fixed" in large part by some combination of double standards, gaming the metrics, and outright fraud. Some number called the "graduation rate" would surely change, but it wouldn't necessarily mean the same thing as what was called the "graduation rate" previously, let alone necessarily represent a materially better outcome for students.
> This all happened because back in the early 2000s there was an attempt at a single “Australia ID” but geriatrics had their brains pickled in decades of anti-communist propaganda and voted against it.

This is similar to how the U.S. has a certain amount of opposition from Christian sects who believe any sort of national ID number would be the biblical mark of the beast. There’s a certain dark humor in the way privacy is used to complain about identification cards but that only leads to the semi-regulated private data brokers being used by everyone, including the government, with purchased access to far more data.
that's my favourite feature :)
Isn't it also a problem that we've put people who's capabilities are equal to those kind of tasks into the "useless" category? Not everyone is cut out to be a programmer, which by the way, will also eventually be in the "useless" bucket. In reality, "better things to do" usually means just a lot of people in poverty.

Llama 3 is just as restricted as Llama 2. The licenses and acceptable use policies are almost identical; the only real change consists of added attribution requirements. Products that use Llama 3 have to "prominently display 'Built with Meta Llama 3' on a related website, user interface, blogpost, about page, or product documentation", and models based on Llama 3 have to "include 'Llama 3' at the beginning of any such AI model name."

Problem is housing is a problem all over. Which is more due to the international cabal of capitalist slumlords that run things. Those guys love using the financial system to bid up prices of existing real estate vs building new stuff.
Another example of this: in the UK the government pays as much as £250,000 per year for severely autistic young people to be looked after in private homes and hospitals. Many of these were funded by private equity. They take huge profits and the level of care is disgraceful. Even when the patients are not being actively abused [1] they are not receiving any care as such. The homes and hospitals are little better than prisons.

The speedup here would be very dependent on the context -- the kind of texts that the models are working with, as it proposes a rather naive n-gram generator (maybe I should say it does not provide any details on this critical component, instead simply refers to Jurafsky textbook). It might not be robust. Instead Apple's work on using the same model to produce n-gram lookahead is robust -- the n-gram generator works as well as the model itself: https://arxiv.org/abs/2402.11131
For our systems we run, we have supply chain breaches.

But, when our code runs client side and depends on software artefacts being pulled from elsewhere by the client device, I feel like a supply chain paints a picture of a flow of control for that artefact that doesn't really exist.

Therefore, I phrased this post in the context of a "delivery chain" breach instead of a "supply chain" breach and I am curious to see what discussion flows.

Of course, I'm also trying to raise awareness to this particular breach and the odd events around it.

As you get older you begin to realize that age obsession is like gossip. It's for the low IQ folks.

You're really not old until you reach 80's where stuff like cognitive decline and frailty are more likely to start showing up.

I use to think 40's was old when i was younger, but if you think about it you have another 40 some odd years until your old. Thats way longer than most companies, marriages, careers etc last.
Lots of memories are accessed by association. But when your entire experience is small (very young), the associations are by necessity fragmentary or coincidental. I love iced cream, which I first encountered when visiting Uncle Roger. Is good ol' Roger gonna be 'the ice cream man' forever? It's an 'incidental association' that is not useful or helpful.

I think that alone is enough reason for evolution to 'downgrade' early memories. To reset the 'weights' between experiences because they are often wrong and misleading. Never mind adult humans find this annoying or disturbing. Nature doesn't give a flying fart how we feel about what hacks it uses on us.
“Those who speak do not know, those who know do not speak“

Speak in this context means “tell you I am good at X”

If I have to tell you I’m funny, I’m probably not funny but if I demonstrate it by making you laugh - then probably funny.

Amount of actual speaking around X isn’t super correlated with how good you are at X. Eg marketing X isn’t the same as being good at X.
I think you’re right. But that isn’t actually what diverse means. The opposite - lefty non-white, non-straight and mostly non-male people are a specific political group.

I think it’s quite on the nose for organisations to cater to that community explicitly. And the wider population is far more diverse than that.
> If a private company was given the same 38k per student with the mandate “fix the graduation issue or you’re fired” the graduation rate would absolutely change.

Perhaps, but the better question is _how_ it would change. As we can see from the history of charter schools, typically that would happen by trying to cherry pick the least expensive, best performing students while excluding the most expensive.

As a simple example, one thing which makes large school district costs higher is that public schools are required to have expensive staff to care for students’ health, mental health, and special needs. If you are running a private school, you immediately see a cost advantage if you can find a way to discourage students who need those services from enrolling. It’s illegal to say “no special needs kids” but if you’re careful you can effectively approach the same outcome without a high likelihood of being sued successfully.
One could also argue that Google by and large doesn't innovate, they mostly acquire the innovative stuff.

Exactly. They can do this (i.e. keep producing power when the spot price is negative) because a plant that can respond rapidly to increased demand can charge a large premium in times of need.
>I didn't do it to boost my ego

I dont doubt that for a minute and neither did I intend such an interpretation.

Perhaps if I were to debate a well known and well understood concept in epigenetics in terms how I personally think about it (with not even an iota of intent to boost my ego), my comment above might resonate better. For the purpose of such a hypothetical debate, how I personally think about that concept in epigenetics, becomes more of a distraction. Does it not ?

No offense intended and none taken. I do learn a lot from your comments, especially about the intricacies of biology.
I’m genuinely curious what you mean. Elixir is a different paradigm but I’ve yet to understand how Elixir is inherently “better” than Ruby.
You answered your own question? It sound like everyone else was sleeping.

It's odd to suggest that people will have enough time to exercise if they just cut into their bedtime. Is the idea here that you sleep in the next morning, and then your wife wakes up earlier to take up your slack?

Is this your suggested solution for everyone? Increase your free time to exercise by reducing someone else's?

Same here, except MYLR. We got the car for other reasons (electric, range, spacious, performant) and was extremely surprised by how buggy the, supposedly stellar, software aspects are, in particular these exact same two items: the autopilot and windshield wipers.

And no, I was not expecting a self-driving car or anything even close to that. I just wanted the excellent lane assist and adaptive cruise control in my previous Kira Niro upgraded so that it would do traffic jams too. Tesla can't even get the basic lane assist right - the one you have on all the time and keeps your car gently and consistently centered on your lane. ACC is ok but prone to sudden and scary breaking and continuously harassing the driver. Then there's all those alarms and buzzes that scare my kids all the time. They even implemented a "Joe mode" [1] so that it reduces the overall alarm volumes for the kids in the back seat, but it's insufficient for reducing the amount of attention the car requires to just drive semi-autonomous.

Molecular Biology of the Cell is one of my all-time favorite books. Read it 15 years ago, rereading it now in the 7th (newest) edition. If someone has read the books you've listed, done the exercise and has a comprehensive understanding of the material, but no biology degree, only a passion for learning about cell biology, are there job options to keep feeding that passion?

Not really related to your points but I feel that separating design and implementation is a mistake; the people designing and implementing should be, if not the same people, then certainly in the same room, and in constant contact.

So it could be that, if you’re in a world where you aren’t getting to do any of the fun figuring-out stuff, perhaps that’s a problem with the workplace structure rather than with programming generally.

I enjoy a bit of everything, and am apparently lucky to have been able to do it for a long time.
Just stop hiring incompetent people in maintenance departments. Planes are falling out of the sky primarily because of bad maintenance and poorly developed procedures to conduct maintenance.

Pilot standards also need to be increased. Everyone doesn't "deserve" to be a pilot. I don't care about their race or gender, I just care that they can pilot the plane in stressful conditions without error compared to pilot quality when we had the safest flight records.
State prison "inmates who are really managers" is certainly a danger. Or "All employees are equal, but some are more equal than others."

However, this is worth a try. HR can devote itself to slapping down anyone who tries to become the toughest convict in the yard. Or the meanest girl in the cheerleading squad.

Middle managers are invariably the source of all corporate problems. So postulating "we're not going to have any" is a good start, but then you have to control the problems that inevitably arise from that.
There’s managers who make assumptions if you’re not in your seat you’re not working, which is one of the reasons I liked WFH.

Coding at 78 is a hobby.

If I get a project in mind, I can easily spend 8 hours or so in coding. Got to get 'In the Zone'.

However I refuse to pull all-nighters like in my 30s and 40s. OMG! It's daylight already! I've got to get changed for work! (I started in my 30s)

Most days, I don't do any coding. Futzing with stuff? That's a different matter.
ah, yes, oops! Never seen r/Netherlands before so I didn't notice that you didn't write r/TheNetherlands.
You honestly think other manufacturers have NOT had instances of on-the-fly changes made on their production lines. Ever? Really? You need 'evidence' to believe that manufacturing lines don't work perfectly, and technicians never make assumptions because the instructions are not always perfect.

You know nothing about manufacturing. People with experience try to correct you and you still think you know 'something' when you don't have a clue. Just accept you're wrong sometimes and move on.

"every other major auto manufacturer on the planet seems to avoid this problem" - just the worst assumption. As if you know anything about other auto manufacture's problems. Recalls aren't new. You are new and naive, and over confident in your ignorance.
Wild! Coding, for me, is the fun part - implementing the solution, once I've come up with one.

I've never looked at a product owner or a scrum master and thought to myself, "man, those guys get to have all the fun." I've more often thought, "wow, they have to answer to three people, two of whom are assholes, who have four opinions on how things should be done between them."

Don't know why they're not releasing it right away.

If they can do it, so can someone else and hiding it makes it worse. If it's widely available people will quickly realise that the talking head on YT spouting racist BS is AI. This process needs to happen faster.

Ofc there will still be people who don't care or understand, but there will always be people who are for example racist and don't care if the affirmation for their beliefs comes from a human or a machine.

Scientists Warn Gulf Stream Slowdown Could Begin as Early as 2025
Beautifully written piece whose premise I disagree with.

At least in the UK (the States may be different), you are taught many of the concepts and underlying reasoning that the author bemoans not having learned.

At A-Level standard, you are taught the physical basis of epigenetic modification (what he describes as switching genes on or off - although that in itself is a too-binary simplification, it's more to do with up- and down-regulation of expression). You're also taught other fascinating processes such as alternative splicing - where a single gene can express many different proteins.

During my first year of undergrad at a so-so Russell Group university, the history of biology featured prominently in lectures - especially those on the evolution of genetics as a field. The inherent fuzziness of categories and concepts in biology was also made very clear. I distinctly remember a lecturer telling us (in response to a question about why we say bacteria don't have membrane-bound organelles, when the topic of the lecture - the magnetosome - was clearly an exception to this rule) that when we say something is 'always true' in biology, we mean it happens 80%+ of the time, and when we say something 'never happens' in biology, we really mean that it happens less than 20% of the time.

I do agree that there is sometimes a bit too much of an emphasis on rote learning the chemical minutiae at the expense of the broader, more important concepts (Krebs cycle, anyone?) - but I think this case is overblown by the author.

There are some tradeoffs w/ WebAssembly as well (not sharing the same memory as JS/TS is the biggest one) and debugging can be a bit tough as well though now there's a good VSCode plugin for it [0]. Another part of the reason I also moved back to C++ -> Wasm was for the performance improvement from Wasm vs. JS/TS, but the cross compilation to native/web was the main motivator.

Indeed they do. At least the Debian-based distros, like Ubuntu and Mint.
The same kind of perverse incentive exists in other forms in other places, like what drives complexity growth in engineering. With people it’s called empire building. With systems I’ve heard it called “resume oriented programming.”

“I built a massively complex system to manage our cloud deployment” looks superficially more impressive than “I eliminated the need for a complex deployment by rearchitecting a bit and consolidating systems, so then I only had to manage a few things.”

The first person will have more code they can cite and more expertise wrangling more systems. They’ll be able to talk about all the big sexy “hyperscale” stuff they have managed with lots of terabytes and Kubernetes and terraform and helm charts. Most people would probably hire this person.

I’d hire the second person.

It’s basically the midwit meme, which is so popular because it illustrates something real.

There seems to be a core conflict in society between systems as things we build to do things vs systems as ends in themselves. Morons just do things. Geniuses just do things. Midwits get mixed up into the process of doing things and forget the point.
