Was going to say the same... Similarly .Net (razor views) + HTMX is pretty nice as well. There's YouTube content for both, on the .Net side, there's some JetBrains extensions to make the HTMX experience relatively seamless.
Just don't prematurely anything and write code that works. If you know how it works you automatically get an intuition what can be made better and where bottlenecks might be. Then you refactor it or just do a plain rewrite.

It's really that simple. (There are always exceptions obviously)

A tendency to systematize, formalize, and delegate/abstract/automate portions (or entirety) of problems IMO.

A tendency to analyze and solve problems rationally. Even if unfortunately it is not at all a rational problem at the time.

A tendency to (successfully) deep dive in a recursive fashion on problems. Ex: contractor is doing something weird, talk to the city inspector. City inspector refers to building code. Read building code. Work with contractor to bring up to code, or sic the appropriate regulatory authority on them.

Etc.

Similar to debugging something weird in someone else’s backend.

I was given an option to improve my performance, but I chose a different path.

Look if this was dave from some no name company, there would be no real debate about what happened.

Altman isn't special, he's just rich and well connected.

Altman was booted from YC because he shouldn't have been making money from his side gigs. He broke the rules, and had some level of consequence.

Now that he's rich, and famous, he's not going to get much consequence, unless he vaporises a lot of money from the wrong people. But then he might be WeWork cult leader good and get away with it.
What? Literally in the first paragraph:

> Far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir says he would be “very happy to live in Gaza” following the war, musing that a mass exodus of Palestinians could create room for a significant influx of Israeli settlers.

I don't know what else to call a "exodus of Palestinians" to "create room". This is pretty much the textbook definition of than ethnic cleansing. And "voluntary emigration"? Right. To where? And after 80 years of fighting over all of this it's suddenly going to be all that "voluntary". Yeah...

This is not some rando we can perhaps interpret in good faith; this is a man who for years had the portrait of terrorist Baruch Goldstein in his office and has repentantly praised him. This, combined with many other things he has said and done over the last 15 years or so means it's pretty clear what he's saying: getting rid of the Untermensch to make lebensraum for the Übermenschen.

Knuth says forget about small efficiencies in 97% of your code. Indeed, the `i++` optimization isn't apt to make more than a small difference, even with the most naive compiler, but other decisions could lead to larger chasms. It seems he is still in favour of optimizing for the big wins across the entire codebase, even if it doesn't really matter in practice.

But it's your life to live. Who cares what someone else thinks?
> On the lunar surface, a single Earth day would be roughly 56 microseconds shorter than on our home planet — a tiny number that can lead to significant inconsistencies over time.

Given that there are 86,400,000,000 microseconds in a day, we will need a leap year every 1.5 billion years to stay in sync. I think we’ll be fine.
> It seems unlikely a few neurons would be more capable than what we can program a CPU to do.

Our brain cells are very good at many things we can't duplicate to the same level in software today (e.g. processing real time info for patterns and learning). Even a single neuron can identifying real time patterns (Purkinje cells at the cell level, and in other cells internally local synapse activity patterns are identified and calcium signals forwarded to other parts of the cell).

> Unless we don't fully understand what the neurons will do

Scientists have a long way to go to understand how neurons function.

For example, it was only relatively recently that they accepted that tunneling nanotubes between neurons (and other cells) happen in living brains (as opposed to just in cultures). Now they are trying to understand what these tubes do functionally, why do they dynamically generate on short time scales, why do some of them have electrical gap junctions (typically used for forwarding electrical signals without spiking), and a million other questions.
This is a vague recollection, but I seem to recall Meta/Facebook engineers on HN having said they have a tool that allows engineers to author SQL or ORM-like queries on the frontend and close to where the data is used, but a compiler or post-processor turns that into an endpoint. The bundled frontend code is never given an open-ended SQL or GraphQL interface.

And perhaps not coincidentally, React introduced "server actions" as a mechanism that is very similar to that. Engineers can author what looks, ostensibly, like frontend code, merely splitting the "client" side and "server" side into separate annotated functions, and the React bundler splits those into client code, a server API handler, and transforms the client function call into the annotated server function into an HTTP API call.

Having used it for a bit it's really nice, and it doesn't result in yielding so much control to a very complex technology stack (GraphQL batchers, resolvers, etc. etc.)

I think that’s usually the case: that will be stored in a small 24c or 93c (i2c or SPI) chip that is separate from the firmware that may only handle 1000 flashes and takes a lot longer to flash (often requiring risky and long downtime).
Why would we be thankful for that? It was meant as an ironic illustration that highlighted some fundamental issue with our theories about quantum states.

However irony never survives popularization and it instead it became the opposite in popular discourse.

Maybe we are talking about different meanings of 'fitness'.

I'm just saying, we can increase different 'attributes' in animals, so we also can in humans. Humans are not somehow a special case of animal where we can't improve any attributes.

You are correct. Just like chickens, where we have breed them to have such huge breasts that they can't survive without assistance. We assist them to live just long enough to be slaughtered.. The chicken group with the over-sized breasts are less 'fit' as a species. But, the goal isn't fitness, it is large breast meat.

That decreases overall fitness. Sure, but fitness to do what? You're saying overall fitness as in the group has variation, so adaptable to some future environment. I'm just saying, you can make them taller or bigger.

Lets say you breed humans to be more resistant to hot temperatures, but that reduces the variability in the group by reducing the number of cold resistant. Then in future, surprise, the environment gets colder, so the group dies out, because they had lost the cold variations. So what. The goal wasn't how adaptable to some future environment, it was how can I increase attributes I value today in todays environment, like being bigger, faster, etc... Maybe in the future there is a food shortage and all the bigger people starve. That could happen.

Of course. This is theoretical, breeding humans is hard. Because we'd also need a way to kill off the outliers. A lot of chickens get tossed in the trash in order to maximize the breast meat of the 'surviving' group.

And, I think also, the Eugenics people probably also as you say, miss-understood 'fitness'. Because bigger, faster, etc.. isn't necessarily better. But the perception is that bigger, faster, etc.. would be a super human. Even if that super human might die from catching the flu or something.

For my home network I've purchased a networking appliance form-factor computer, which is basically a regular old an i3 with VT-x support in a fanless case and 4 2.5GiB NICs. I've installed my favorite stable Linux distro that gets regular automated security updates in both host and a VM, and I've device-mapped 3 of the NICs into that VM. The remaining NIC remains unattached to anything unless I want to SSH in to the host. I'm running UFW and Shorewall in the VM to perform firewall and routing tasks. If I want to tweak anything I just SSH in to that VM. I have a snapshot of the VM disk in case I mess something up so I can trivially roll back to something that I know works.

I've purchased a couple of cheaper commercial WiFi access points, and I've placed them in my house with channels set up to minimize interference.

Prior to this I've gone through several iterations of network products from the likes of Apple, Google, and ASUS, and they all had issues with performance and reliability. For example infuriating random periods of 3-5 seconds of dropped packets in the middle of Zoom conferences and what not.

Since I've rolled my own I've had zero issues, and I have a higher degree of confidence that it's configured securely and is getting relevant security updates. In short, my home network doesn't have a problem unless some significant chunk of the world that's running the same well-known stable Linux distro also has a problem.

Well, "read" is still the verb we use most often to describe a human interpreting code. Also, many information-dense books are not intended to be read linearly, yet we still say we're "reading" (or "studying") the book.
Agreed. On a scale of 10 in terms of current technology, CSV is a 1 while Parquet is 7. ORC is maybe 7.2. But parquet is far more ubiquitous than ORC (I’ve never seen ORC in prod but I also have limited sample sizes)

I’m sure there are more advanced formats.

He was involved in the investigation committee, but of course wasn't the only one there. IIRC Neil Armstrong was also on the committee. I figure that part of the point of choosing them was to lend the committee credibility with the public. The public would probably trust that the findings were above board if they were supported by the first man on the Moon and one of the most prominent physicists of the time.

The challenge is that if you're not careful, you can end up copy-pasting the same bit of code hundreds of time before realizing it has to be changed.

I once worked in a year-old startup of ~5 developers that found it had written the same line of code (not even copy-pasted, it was only one line of code so the devs had just written it out) 110 times. A bug was then discovered in that line of code, and it had to be fixed in 110 places, with no guarantee that we'd even found all of them. This was a very non-obvious instance of DRY, too, because it was only one line of code and the devs believed it was so simple that it couldn't possibly be wrong. But that's why you sometimes need to be aware of what you're writing even on the token level.

That's why we have principles like "3 strikes and then you refactor". 3 times fixing a bug isn't too onerous; even 4-6 is pretty manageable. Once you get to 20+, there starts to be a strong disincentive to fixing the bug, and even if you want to, you aren't sure you got every instance.
Taking a step back: The UX/UI for LLMs in general are very immature. We're in the very early days of to best interact with these tools. We need more experimentation like this to help figure out what works, and doesn't work.

Obsession usually means your emotional reasoning is over powering your logical thinking ability.

I suggest -
Every time you rewrite, document your architectural changes in a long form article.

You are essentially journaling your thought process, but explaining it to someone else forces you to break the emotional connect you have with your code.

This way you will start to view software architecture with a balanced mindset.
It's annoying that the article (and many others) don't mention that the Snapdragon X Elite has 12 CPU cores (I believe all high-performance cores) vs. the M3's 8 CPU cores (4 performance, 4 efficiency). So it's not surprising that the Snapdragon wins at multi-core benchmarks. It is surprising if the Surface can really get that claimed battery life with those cores and a fan. It's only slightly heavier than the MacBook Air (2.96 vs 2.7 lbs) so there probably isn't much more battery in there.

These are going to be impressive machines and we'll all hopefully benefit from some more heated competition.
This reply was to someone saying regular wall plug charging was good enough.
The problem with all of these trick questions is that you don't know what was already in the training data - readily and easily available for completion.

I.e. you can't tell if a result was produced by "reasoning" or by a simple lookup.
> You could but a base level firmware on ROM, with a hardware trigger, and all that does on boot is listen and receive a signed firmware to write to the system.

Almost all devices have something like that already in the form of a bootloader or SOC bootstrapping mode. But the idea breaks down if you want to do it OTA. The full storage/kernel/network/UI stack required to make that happen isn't ever going to run under "ROM" in the sense of truly immutable storage.

The best you get is a read-only backup partition (shipped in some form on pretty much all laptops today), but that's no less exploitable really.
This is an inaccurate characterization of acting. Nearly every school of acting shuns the manufacturing of feeling. It's incredibly easy to spot a bad actor, because manufactured emotions are uncanny.

For example, Meisner teaches you to live truthfully in the moment. The emotion you feel is based off of what you're getting from your partner in that exact moment. You're taught to get rid of ingrained social firewalls and just let everything out. To actually feel the other actors and show them how they're impacting your emotional state. It's 100% real and authentic from moment to moment.

I'm sorry for your loss. What I meant was that it used to be so common that it was something majority of parents (or large enough fraction) expeirienced so those that didn't experience it might have been seen as not experiencing full range of parenthood. One might say that modern medicine that vastly reduced child mortality somehow keeps most of modern parents from "growing up" in that sense that they never experience full range of parenthood from 200 years ago.
Props to him for predicting the future, but that's not an argument against LLMs having understanding. The Chinese Room has been invented and disproves his argument.
> ... I don't think a single person could build a product like Linear end-to-end without cutting corners.

Cutting corners is a feature. I bet the Linear team is as pained as any, internally, at the tradeoffs they're making.

There is no way to know "what to get right" without going through it. So for 80% of the dev cycle the job is to cut corners to get to the 80/20, rinse and repeat forever.

This isn't against excellence and the dream of a beautiful product experience as your reply seems to convey.

A gateway (router/firewall) on your own connection cannot protect you against a DDoS. Really nothing at your connection can prevent you from getting DDoSed. The attacker can cause you to go offline/degraded even if you are 100% successful at dropping his packets. They still fill up your inbound pipe and prevent (or majorly hinder) legitimate traffic from fitting in.

The filtering/dropping of packets has to be upstream of your connection to be able to protect your connection - additionally somewhere where the available bandwidth is greater than the attacker's bandwidth.
Getting shot by a handgun is not like getting shot by AR-15. Even at the same caliber the muzzle velocity of a modern rifle makes the bullet that much deadlier.

Prime Minister Robert Fico got shot three (?) times with a handgun and it now looks like he'll survive. Of course he got the best medical care, but still, it serves to illustrate my point.

With an AK-47 I cannot hit anything at 50 yards. The combination of kickback, terrible sight, rough trigger make it pretty hard to use effectively. It's one of the most popular weapons in war zones (doesn't jam, easy to repair, etc) but in my hands it's useless.

I understand we're dealing with shades of gray here. It's about making a policy tradeoff between how many legitimate uses a weapon type has (for example home defense, farm use, hunting) and how many victims it claims.
Because even deportation has legal hoops you have to jump through. If they get deported, even willingly, what happens when they come back to American on another vessel?

Their special visas to disembark while at port would most likely not be approved if they have a big "deported" note on it.

On top of that, a lot of these workers are kept in exploitative working conditions and are owed thousands of dollars in backpay. Leaving the vessel to be willingly deported effectively negates any chance of actually being paid and can kill your career right then and there. I highly doubt that's a risk any of them are willing to take.
I will, once again, bring your attention to hashql, which is so pleasant to use. It's so minimal that it is almost more a pattern than a library. Try it out as an alternative to graphql if you are mainly querying a SQL database anyhow (although it can be easily configured to request data from other types of sources.) I don't think it can currently combine results from multiple data sources, but I think it should be within the realm of possible things

I know about the Chinese Room. The pivotal difference is that the intelligence is performing a mechanical task and none of its intelligence is inserted into the inputs.
No synthesis is performed.

In the API example, it's literally people answering the queries with the answer they want. They're using their intelligence to synthesize the responses.
Is that actually feasible with their budget?

If we are generous and assume there a zettabyte of data a year that they want to store.

At consumer prices, you would have to pay $10B per year just buying hard drives yet alone the operational costs/redundancy.

The budget for all of the US intelligence services is ~$65B. I think if they wanted to actually do what you are describing it would be the single biggest intelligence expense they have and I don't see how you hide that.
