The problem is that it is a competition. If socializing is difficult for you, you can still get better at it with plenty of practice, but you are up against other applicants who had the same amount of practice as you and got more out of that practice (because they are naturally better at it).

Telling everyone across the board to just practice more does not actually solve the problem. The problem is solved only by having more job openings relative to applicants OR by teaching interviewers how to do their jobs better (i.e., how to identify skills that the role calls for, rather than inadvertently using social skill as a proxy for those other skills).
100 percent accurate will never happen, nor does it need to. But think about the intelligence of an average human. Can we beat that? At least along some collection of concrete axes, enough to create a form of intelligence that can rightfully be called general?

It remains to be seen, but the days where I scoffed at that idea are firmly in the past where they belong. Today we are building machines with intelligence high enough that it is forcing us to reconsider and redefine what intelligence is. And there is a huge amount of progress just sitting in front of us, waiting to be fed into models.

Oddly, my personal experience worked out quite the opposite.

I took the heroic dose of mushrooms, and then a bunch of MDMA on top of it. I had a great day, it changed my life, I understand my own thinking in a different way.

Im ambivalent to a fair bit of the absurdity because of that experience. Candidly a lot of the success I found I can directly point back to that moment and the choices I made after it.

Fitting into the system and breaking the rules became part of how I got ahead.
In the world of science you get to compare software's predictions against reality. It's a weird concept but it grows on you.

I've seen systems with this structure. Part of the fun is B's code is likely to have a lot of errors in it that cancel each other out in exciting ways when running on the domain of interest, which makes using it to work out why A's code is failing to correspond to reality much harder than it could be.

Here's my opinion from the Zig evangelism strike force:

Aside from the removal of async (which was very disruptive for a few of my projects), the rest of the changes over the last few years have been minor. It takes a few hours once a year to update a few tens of thousands of lines of code to the new syntax, build system, and stdlib. The current 0.12.0 is supposed to be a semi-stable release for people to be happy with pre-1.0, reducing that effort further, and language stability is an express design goal, so once 1.0 hits (ETA 3-5yrs?) it'll almost certainly be good enough for you.

I do think the initial learning curve was higher than I would have expected for such a simple language. The docs are much better now, and there are more examples and learning resources (off-topic, definitely use the zig-help channel in their discord server). I just finished making a compelling enough prototype that $WORK wants to use Zig for some performance-critical software. I suspect it'll be easier for my team to learn than it was for me. We'll see (whether it succeeds or fails, that sounds like a fun first blog post).

Despite that higher-than-expected learning curve (which IMO was mostly because nuances like the in-memory representation of a 5-bit integer weren't documented, so you had to experiment to find out the exact behavior if you were doing anything "interesting"), once you've picked it up it really is a simple language. IMO it's worth pushing through. I've done hardly anything with Go yet, but Zig fits happily in the mind of this particular C/Rust/Forth/Scala/Python/... programmer. Pushing through the first ~100 Ziglings exercises might be a pretty fast way to work through most of the syntactic differences if you're already comfortable with C and Rust.

Or maybe your prior is that new languages need to prove themselves and stabilize a little longer before you sink time into them. That's fine too. I'm just commenting since you seem to be a bit on the fence and because I think it's better than your current impression of it is.

Again, this is a very mainland-centric view.

I will try to find some references, but the basic concept is that your heart will atrophy when it doesn't have to work against gravity, as in pumping blood from foot to head, while vertical.

This is why standing desks are a thing, why an astronaut will lose 30% of his heart-mass after one year on the ISS, and why patients after a long coma have a hard time doing cardio.

In one job he was also hired via a national hiring agency, so he screwed himself out of any jobs through them again. The genius was not smart enough to get remote jobs. He may have had more success with remote jobs, but in the layoffs over the last couple years I doubt he would have survived, he was definitely not contributing enough to keep around.

You should have phrased your initial comment "personal trainer weekly first thing in the morning" and let people decide the exact hour it means for them. For me, for example, that would vary between 8am and 9am. Seeing the "6am" definitely triggers the "wake up in the middle of the night" meme.

> Same with Chrome when clicking on a link: Nothing happens until the button is released. This adds a delay.

UI buttons have activated on the mouse-up event since forever ago. There's a reason: to give the user the choice of backing out of an action even after the user has pressed the corresponding button. They can just move the pointer off the button, release, and the action will not be committed.

John Carmack made this same point recently. John Carmack is wrong. Maybe the trigger on your gun in Doom needs to respond on mouse down, for the immediacy and realism -- that's how real gun triggers work, no takesie-backsies once it's pulled. But especially for potentially destructive UI actions such as deleting or even saving over a file -- or launching the nuclear missiles -- you want to give the user every opportunity to back out and only commence the action once they've exhausted all those opportunities.

It's been that way since the 1984 Macintosh -- since a time people remember as having much snappier UIs than now.

Besides which, worrying about the few milliseconds lost each time a button waits for the release is pennywise and pound-foolish; there are much larger, more egregious sources of lag (round trips to the server, frickin' Electron, etc.) we should work on first.
A lot of american metros are polycentric with their job markets already. That was one of the sells of suburbia: spread out and therefore lower the congestion that was bogging down urban areas at the time. There was a time when it was predicted manhattan would flood with manure in the future should horse traffic increase how it had been. Then of course the car came but still, these were concerns even back then. Someplaces instituted height limits to attempt to spread congestion too, especially done in europe where many cities today have denser urban sprawl but its pretty clearly capped at a height limit which forces it out.

we sure don't know what data openai trains its models on. Why?

Um, that's kind of obvious.

Because they want to make money.

I think the point of the article is that it may get to the point where these internal datasets are so much more valuable than the sea of fake nonsense on the open internet that the practice of keeping the internal datasets private will become a no-brainer.

Who is willing to give up billions of dollars just 'cuz? Even if you can't run a company, one of the big companies will happily pay you for access to that data. There's no way you make the data public if that data is able to provide an edge in training.

In fact, let's be realistic, the more of an edge it provides, the more money it will be worth.

A Self-Published Book Broke 'All the Rules' to Become a Best Seller
I kinda hate that this topic almost always devolves into similar arguments about what exactly is induced demand. Despite that, these conversation threads did give me a new perspective on induced demand that I feel is worth sharing.

That new perspective - I would now say that induced demand relates the efficiency of how well a resource is used to the cost of using that resource. If cost of use is high, then the resource is used more efficiently, and the inverse is also true.

An example, if going to the grocery store takes a literal minute, then buying one item at a time per trip is very viable. OTOH, if that travel time takes one hour, then a person is likely going to avoid that trip, and when they do make it - they'll buy two weeks of groceries at a time and be very careful not to forget anything.

In the latter case, the number of items transported per unit distance increases, usage efficiency goes up. If the cost goes down, then the number of people for whom it is economical to use that resource inefficiently will increase. That's induced demand.
As a European I am very aware of that. But like I said about dollar amounts, the extra you can earn in the US made the move worth it for me personally.

This is also spec for IPv4, it was intended to be as publically routable as IPv6 is. NAT is just a consequence of everyone realizing circa early 90s (iirc) IPv4 addresses would run out at the rate the network was growing. Yes NAT acts as an inbound default-deny firewall but that isn't it's purpose.

You have a router, it has a firewall, that is meant to be used to control access to the network, you don't have to assign rules to every device you can assign default interface rules that apply to any connection.

Just because you get a publically routable address doesn't mean the internet defines physics and hops over your router and firewall.

Also as an aside - perimeter security is a very outdated way of looking at security, yes the perimeter is still important but if it is your first and only line of defense you are gonna be in for a bad time, defense in depth as it is called where you look at your systems and networks as layers to an onion is the more modern standard and NAT as a security mechanism has never been standard in either because it isn't.
Just a typo. It's meant to be `c` which is defined on the previous line.
> We are paying PhD level experts to produce novel work exclusively available through an overly optimistic, lying, robot.

Because nobody else is willing to pay them to do that.

> What if those expert just published the stuff freely online instead. Surely that would be more productive and trustworthy.

I’m sure many of them would be happy to do so if someone is paying them

From Publisher’s Marketplace:

[Earlier this year, Shaheen reached a five-book, 50/50 profit-share deal with S&S, accompanied by a seven-figure advance, represented by Rebecca Gradinger and Albert Lee at UTA. The expanded S&S trade paperback has sold a little under 22,000 copies since publication on April 23.

A good deal of the book’s TikTok success is attributed to one commission-driven influencer — Kohn Glay, whose videos drove sales of over 40,000 copies on TikTok (earning him over $150,000). He found the book through a TikTok ad. As the Atlantic wrote last year, “The rise of The Shadow Work Journal is another reminder of TikTok’s power—to generate conversation, to sell a ton of books, to keep people in an algorithmic loop indefinitely.”]

Well, today's rural areas are tomorrow's suburbs. If you want to stop the rural areas from becoming a car slave suburban sprawl, then you need to do something differently than what we did in the past. It sounds like people in your town are forward thinking.

Companies saying "we're a big family here" are deeply amusing to me as someone who had a turbulent home life as a child and who only talks to his relatives once a year on Christmas.

I think the people saying this don't think about people who have a still-acrimonious relationship with their family. If you're telling me that you're a big family then I am not interested.
You're making the assumption that roads pay for themselves, but that isn't true at all either. Across the US cities are going bankrupt because they can't maintain roads and other infrastructure. California has a gas tax that pays 80% of road maintenance, the rest of which is often paid from local city taxes that drivers and non-drivers alike pay. Many cities are falling behind in road maintenance though, the true impact of which won't be felt for ~20 years. A hidden cost of car infrastructure is also that the low density increases the costs of other infrastructure maintenance, such as sewage, gas, and power. Good mass transit is ultimately cheaper for everyone.

Uncompressed 4k@90 isn't exactly trivial. I think you'd need TB3 or USB4 for the bandwidth alone and Qualcomm doesn't provide that on the chipset. The device itself can decompress 8K video if it's stored in disk.

I'm fairly certain it's not Meta standing in the way here. My bet is Quest 4 will be able to achieve this but we'll see.
Pipe sizes are 3d, so as you go from 1" to 2" to 3" to 4" the amount of throughput skyrockets.

Roads are flat, not stacked, so you're just somewhat linearly increasing throughput. It might be a bit more since the leftmost lanes can go increasingly faster, but it's nothing like pipes.

So it makes sense to try to think of other ways to handle it... that being said, does having 50 more buses actually reduce anything, 100 more? Trains.

In many cases people will continue to not want to share their space with someone with boobs hanging out, pee all over the seats, weed smell 24/7.

It is mental just how different the video game and (web/desktop front-end) realms are.

In the former, one can have a complicated and dynamic three-dimensional scene with millions of polygons, gigabytes of textures, sprites, and other assets being rasterised/path-traced, as well as real-time spatial audio to enhance the experience, and on top of that a real-time 2D UI which reflects the state of the aforementioned 3D scene, all composited and presented to the monitor in ~10 ms. And this happens correctly and repeatedly, frame after frame after frame, allowing gamers to play photorealistic games at 4K resolution at hundreds of frames a second.

In the latter, we have 'wew bubble animation and jelly-like scroll, let's make it 300 ms long'. 300 ms is rubbish enough ping to make for miserable experiences in multiplayer games, but somehow this is OK in UIs.
This is somewhat anecdotal as well, but what I find interesting reading this is that a possible treatment for epilepsy that's tried is the keto diet.

LLMs are tools. As a tool author, you have certain desired outcomes for certain use cases. If the current data you’re training on isn’t giving you those outcomes, it is absolutely reasonable to "fudge" the data. This might mean reducing bias, or adding bias, or any number of nudges. Training an LLM is not a scientific study, it’s a product development effort.
