AI can get 'stuck' in local optima. At which point it will hallucinate or repeat itself over and over or both. Easy way is to start over or you have to really feed a bunch of stuff to it to get it to move.

A good way to think of AI is like a cubic spline. The formula that pops out of all of the nodes strung together make a thing that resembles a cubic spline. Everything is valid along that formula but only at the nodes where it crosses the real spline. Everything else might be close +/- some error rate. But it can also create hills and valleys that you should not reach. But are perfectly valid for the spline. The more noes you add the higher the calculation is. But the more accurate it is. But that can also create wildly weird things between the valid points.
Wouldn't it be nice if the only other car traffic on the road was there because of use cases similarly niche to yours? Public transportation is great at eliminating the need for using a car for completely overkill trips like commuting and basic shopping.

Having said that, given good cycling infrastructure, chances are you could either bring your kids along on a cargo bike [1] or they could just ride there themselves [2].

I think this was in Immortal Beloved (do I have the details right?). So touching.

At the premier of his 9th Symphony, he was off to the side of the "real" conductor, waving his baton while the orchestra ignored him. When it stopped, the audience went wild. The contralto gently turned him around so he could SEE the ovation, being unable to hear it.

> When a news reporter is doing man-on-the-street interviews, you have to sign a release that allows them to broadcast footage of you.

If used commercially, yes, without such release you could claim that you were party to the commercial business venture and thus are owed due compensation. Indeed, the broadcaster will seek protections against such a claim. But a hobbyist filming you, the "man on the street", for sheer enjoyment would not require a release.
> I'd argue it's your job to restrain from stabbing random strangers in the street.

Sure, I agree with you, we all have a responsibility to restrain ourselves from stabbing random people in the street. Do we all have a responsibility to make the world "safe" for the most vulnerable people amongst us? No. It's great that we have some people working on that, like mental health professionals, or city councilmembers, but every single person does not and should not work on that particular thing.

- The editor for us is in Visual Studio Code which means you don't have that jump and can iterate all together.

- Every thing is version controlled as a file in your repository which means you can add those engineering practices to the dashboards/charts themselves.

HBase was a joy to use from a application developer standpoint.
I think my main point is that writing the specification is difficult enough with a non-trivial program with property tests, with many places tending to even avoid it if they can. If formal verification is even more difficult, it doesn't matter that it has more power and can make the code even more correct - the cost is a huge blocker.

Yeah I have found there is very little you get from therapy that you can't get from a mixture of journalling, learning CBT methods, having a routine (which includes regular exercise) and trying lots of different methods of making friends that you assess maturely for their reliability. Maybe meditation if you're into that. All of these things are free and require effort, personal effort and intention being what will actually improve your life anyway, whether you use therapy or not. This makes therapy seem like a scam for anything other than dealing with a very dire short period of isolation.

Again, different strokes for different folks. There should be different kind of options catering to different tastes. You want density and walkable cities? Go live in NYC or Boston. You want complete rural wilderness where you don't have to see another fellow human being if you don't want to? There is Alaska or mountain West. You want a big house with a yard in a community where everyone is of the same class and all the daily needs are met (grocery, gas, schools, parks), while being close to a major city to tap into urban amenities (eg. airport)? Go live in a generic suburbia.

That's even worse. I'm talking about putting a large image under the article's headline, the way every social media feed does it. Although I hate irrelevant images, the human brain can recognize images faster than it can read text. If articles had a relevant images, you would be able to find interesting articles just by glancing at a masonry grid on the screen.

But in order to do this, the RSS code needs to include the images in first place, and there is no guarantee it will even though the HTML side will usually have it properly marked up.

I've been building enterprise software for a while, but in smaller startups. In all cases we've taken pride in our UX.

In the current product I'm building, the domain experts are a generation older than myself and the mockups and designs they produce reflect that. If we just recreated their spec to the pixel, our application would fit right in on a Windows 95 desktop.

Yet if you were to look at our application, it has a clean, modern, user friendly design.
To accomplish that required me to occasionally push back when they were set in their ways or some cases just ignoring the requirements and building out certain functionality my way. The domain is sufficiently complex that we don't have a ton of time to focus on UX. So the most important thing was setting the general UX patterns from day 1 and mandating developers follow that early on.

If you look at Renaissance, Baroque, Rococo, Neoclassicism you got around 100 years between each and 50 years between Impressionism , Modern Art and so on. For Jazz, Blues Hip Hop its around 20 to 40 years.

Maybe when LLMs have their own Cultural background they are ready to attack creativity :-)
The hallucinations are a consequence of sampling from a probability distribution over all possible tokens at each step. There are a lot of very smart people trying to figure out how to sample for generative purposes while "grounding" the model so it hallucinates less. It's an active area of research.
Ironically the particulars of this implementation make it much less efficient than a dumb bubble sort. Many Quicksort implementations have the worst performance on already sorted data, and in this case it will be run a lot on data that is already mostly sorted. It won't matter here because the data size is always trivially tiny, but it is something to consider in the real world.

> One could also say that therapists prey on lonely people who pay them to talk to them and seem like they’re genuinely interested in them, when the therapist wouldn’t bother having a connection with these people once they stop paying.

As another commenter said, if that's your experience with a therapist, you have a shitty therapist and should switch.

Most importantly, a good therapist will very clearly outline their role, discuss with you what you hope to achieve, etc. I've been in therapy many years, and I know exactly what I'm paying for. Sure, some weeks I really do just need someone to talk to. But never have I, or my therapist, been unclear that I am paying for a service, and one that I value much more than just having "someone to talk to".

Using the terminology "prey on lonely people" is ridiculous (again, for any good therapist). If they were actually preying on me, then their goal would be to keep me lonely so I become dependent on them (and I'm not saying that never happens, but when it does it's called malpractice). A good therapist's entire goal is to make people self-sufficient in their lives.

I worked for a place that used HBase heavily. They migrated from AWS to GCP ~just for BigTable since the data model is essentially the same. They're a Java shop, and the drivers are actually the same. The workload of managing HBase and HDFS was high, and it was unreliable enough that they always had a failover cluster set up. Interestingly, the migration surfaced degenerate cells/tables that might have been partially to blame for reliability issues. Even 5 years ago, HBase was slowly dying, and at the end of the day, they didn't want the company's core competency to be HBase management.
I agree some therapists are starting to come around on this, but even what you describe is somewhat flawed due to placebo effects, eg. some always feel better from any kind of talk, probably as a result of someone paying attention to their problems.

You might be able to overcome this effect by quantitatively tracking this across many sessions to some degree, but I think it's still always the patient that has to walk away, and never the therapist who says, "you're good, go on now".

That's one of the reason why I'm against smart cities https://kfx.fr/articles/2024-04-26-onnewdealexp-contrapolis/ but I'm still convinced that such push will fail simply because it's unsustainable as the original Fordlandia or the modern Neom, Arkadag, Innopolis, Prospera, ...

As a result I expect cities became a hub of poor and desperate, while those who can have already or will do at an exponentially higher price, flee the city. Those inside will have no cars simply because they will be unable to own one.

> …2019 on deaths in three areas that have previously been linked to cannabis use but are still poorly understood: motor vehicle accidents, suicide and opioid overdose.

For each cause of death, the researchers compared trends in deaths in states with legal markets with those in states that had comprehensive medical cannabis programs and similar trends in death rates prior to implementing markets…

The study did not link cannabis use with traffic fatalities.

The study linked trends.

Cannabis use was not a factor in those deaths. Not listed as a cause. Not listed as intoxicated at time of accident.

There is a significant difference between the narrative being schlepped versus what data was actually accumulated.
To my knowledge, this is correct. In theory a command from e.g. the President is authoritative and should legally be carried out. In practice, you'd require every person along the chain to implicitly agree to effectively ending the world. Even at the bottom of the chain, there are likely multi-key requirements so even there you don't have just one person with his hand on the trigger.

This makes one of the biggest threats to humanity's survival being buggy software. If a software glitch from one side or the other suggests nuclear weapons are incoming, they will almost certainly retaliate in kind. And once the bombs are away, the other side will definitely respond, and that's pretty much gg humanity. In fact this exact thing very nearly happened in 1983. Soviet instrumentation indicated that the US had attack the USSR with multiple nuclear weapons. The technician on duty, Stanislav Petrov, [correctly] judged that what was happening was an instrumentation error, and disobeyed protocol - refusing to escalate it to his superiors who very well could have ordered retaliatory strikes.

For some context this had happened at once of the highest levels of tensions between the US and the USSR. This was in the era of the 'Star Wars program', which was to be a US missile defense shield, leading the Soviet Union to become paranoid about intentions of a preemptive nuclear strike attack. Those tensions had already led to the downing of one 747 that had inadvertently veered into Soviet territory, while carrying a US Congressman at that. Given this context it's highly probable that his superiors would have ordered the retaliation. So he's one of very few people who can be reasonably said to have saved the world.
