that is at most an attempt to control the narrative, and throw the growing inequality under the rug as some sort of mass hysteria. lame.
I mean it really depends where the weird nerd is. I mean I can say I'm on the border of weird nerd myself, though I say I have enough EQ to get around. Never want to manage people, and have a "high enough" position for myself. The company I work for is in the middle of a new software project and just a few months in I layed out a document stating how and where the software was going to hit failure points that were going to cause outages/degradations of service. Nine months later those failures started occurring like dominoes. We had to stop on new deliveries and work on performance for months.

I mean the entire VC culture is ate up with the 10x CEO, the fact that a few other people lower down the totem pole can 10x in their narrow field shouldn't be a surprise.

Can it be a good replacement for Capistrano (for deploying rails applications)?

Love the focus on being lightweight

Recently I wanted to create a super basic website, and discovered it’s actually pretty hard to create something simple

And then, even if you manage to create something actually simple, you usually end up having to manage some not so simple deployment process together with hopefully some sort of version control

Ended up settling for putting plain html/css/js files in a git repo, then configuring auto deploy to GitHub Pages on merge to master (via Actions)
That’s still 1/4th of an H100.

Congestion pricing is a no-brainer for the environment and urbanism alike, and we can’t even make it happen in the country’s biggest city. It’s such an uphill battle to get any buy-in from the voting public. Even in such a politically homogenous city like New York.
My imac aged out of osx support (got one more OS version through installer hacking), and I couldn't get windows 8 to work right through bootcamp. Haven't reverted since.

It says there is a "strong anti-correlation" between being a weird nerd and being pleasant to be around socially. This may be true, but it is not my experience that there is a strong anti-correlation between being an exceptional mathematician and being pleasant to be around socially. Despite the stereotype, in my experience the best mathematicians are not the ones who stare at their shoes when you talk to them.
Narcissistic maniacs building this thing
At some point the question is “why?”. We can keep atomizing human variability into smaller, more graduated buckets of neurodivergence, but what’s the point, esp. for those that don’t really suffer negative impacts, and for which there isn’t really any remedy besides acceptance?
I'd argue assholes would merit the same attention as the people on the spectrum,
but it might be another discussion.

> something they choose to do

Point taken, but then switching that for "weird" doesn't feel like helping, it's still a pejorative and not really focused description.

> people actually suffering the disorder

An issue I'd take with that is the effect to which it's penalizing depends a lot on the environment and what the person is trying to do. Would two people with the same condition, but one suffering and the other not, need to be identified in two different ways ?
It is literally explicitly addressing the situation where these indicators claim everything's okay even though no one feels like it is - the idea that just because economic health metrics are up, doesn't mean anything for the average American.
They do know the difference[0][1][2]. I feel like gamers are notorious for complaining about fidelity issues and frame rate issues. I’m not sure why you would think they don’t understand the difference. The reason people complain about switch frame rates is because it’s often low fidelity games that still can’t hit a consistent 60 FPS.

As someone living here, I'll share my sentiment - millions of dollars and years of time spent to come up with a plan, however unpopular. Hochul did not signal she would do this during all that time. And right near the finish line, boom, she pulls the rug out.

It's just embarassing the level of dysfunction in planning any major projects in this city. It kills all hope that our public transit can be brought into the modern era, honestly.

> I chafe pretty hard at the suggestion here that one has to be socially ill-adjusted to advance scientific knowledge at the highest level.

This is very similar to the idea of the tortured artist or that to be a great comedian you have to be depressed.

The happy and well adjusted comedian or socially adept mathematician doesn’t make for an interesting story — it just doesn’t fit the popular narrative and so it gets ignored.

In every discipline there are total weirdos and normal people at every step of the way, from terribly inept to amazingly world-class.
"when to trust it and when not to" - you can only decide if have the knowledge.
Do you believe it is possible for the course we are on to be changed, to a degree that is in fact "substantial" (as in, after it had been accomplished, widespread opinion would be "Oh yes, that was substantial, there is no fucking doubt.")?

I am beginning to think it is not possible, to put it mildly.
Inference from associative statistical models is a kind of remembering.

Think of a model as a heated metal sheet placed over some surface (ie., the data); training is heating this sheet just enough that it takes an impression, but not so much that the impression is exact. Cooling and heating the metal to smooth-over impressions is called "regularization".

This is very different from, e.g., explanatory modelling, whereby some (e.g., scientist) builds a device to imitate a mechanism in the world, rather than a dataset. Consider a building a model of the solar systems with cogs (etc.).
A mechanistic model of the solar system isn't a remembering of any data taken about the solar system, rather its a machine which can generate such data.

In the latter case, "inference" is running the model which has been crafted so its mechanisms track properties the world has. In the former case, "inference" is throwing a dart on the metal sheet, and hoping that whatever impression has been taken at that point will be good-enough.

So the technical question here isnt open. All associative modelling is a kind of impression-taking of a particular historical dataset. The moral question is whether one ought be paid (etc.) for providing the data.

Soon enough it will be easy to invert a large LLM and show you the sources of data it draws from in its replies. At the moment, this is being attempted, but it isnt presented that well and computationally difficult for larger models. Nevertheless, when it happens, I think people will be less impressed.

Perhaps, optimistically, they might be more impressed at the people who wrote the original works being sampled. However, of course, I doubt it. The one thing which often accompanies the adoration of LLMs is a dehumanising impulse to deprive people of any capacities at all.

No such thing has ever happened.
When I was in college, a physics professor said investment in solar is a waste of time and that we should invest in nuclear instead. A part of his calculation was the efficiency of solar cells at the time, but he didn’t take into account the radical increases in efficiency that investment was able to bring, making our investments in solar worth it today.

I think this may be similar, in that maybe the current solutions are not going to solve the problem, but by investing in these, in the long run, they may prove to be necessary as we get better at it.
Exactly. Another issue is that some emission sources are very hard to eliminate. All the non-disastrous IPCC scenarios include substantial negative emissions after 2050, and that won't happen unless we start developing and scaling it now.
Oh, interesting. I just assumed a MN was selected by randomly selecting a path on the board and presenting the answer; that removes the possibility of being impossible. I wonder how it does work.

It seems this came across not the way I intended; I apologize - I meant that very positively, as a set of possible motivations related to the code/project, problem domain, and/or author themselves, as opposed to product thinking. Like, e.g. making for fun, as part of learning, or because it's useful to author - where other users are at best a secondary concern.
"Diverse board" is a euphemism for discriminating against those that are not defined as "diverse".

It puts people in positions of authority based on their ethnicity, biological sex, and sexual orientation and therefore discriminates against others based on their ethnicity, biological sex, and sexual orientation.

I somewhat agree, but I think there's more to it than that. To be a great performer, you have to care about delivering your own "message" as authentically or at least "in totality" more than anything else. Critique may be useful in understanding how your vision is being received, but actually delivering the vision requires believing in your own vision more than the visions of others. The same could be said of CEOs. It's not just that there are adoring fans / sycophants, it's that to be a great success in these areas you need to be able to disregard the criticisms of others when the criticism doesn't really connect with what you are trying to achieve.
ASD has different levels of diagnosis. I've been told by a therapist specializing in ASD that there are a lot of diagnosed and undiagnosed ASD workers in tech. It's very possible the only reason they are "full blown clinically diagnosed" is because they haven't been tested.
For the first one, I think it's linked to the next point of "No Build Tools". Using `var` instead of `let` and `const` `let`s them support (very) old browsers without a build step (which in turn leads to other benefits: https://htmx.org/essays/no-build-step/).
This is actually a perfect example of Bezos being right on the money. You are measuring it wrong. The first and last articles focus only on violent crime, which is not what most people who are complaining about crime mean here. 538 is a little better, but their charts only go through 2019 before it became a major issue again. Only Vox seems to get it closer to correct (though still hung up on the violence thing):

> One theory that came up again and again is that city residents and visitors are, to some extent, conflating actual violent crime with broader indications of urban disorder.

If you are a leader like Bezos or a city politician you need to meet your customers / constituents where they are and fix the problems they want fixed whether or not it they are saying precisely what they mean. The anecdotes are right and the statistics are wrong.
One of the more ridiculous things about the chaos Hochul has wrought over the last 72 hours is that it isn't remotely clear that she can even order the suspension of congestion pricing like this: it's the law of the land in New York, one she already signed, passed by our legislative branch, funded by taxes, and administrated solely by an independent public corporation (the MTA) that she has only minority authority over. It's the equivalent of a president signing a bill and then attempting to post-facto veto it.

It's been very frustrating to see so little news (both local and national) pick up on this basic reality: Hochul is acting far beyond her constitutional powers as the governor, and the legislative branch has so far responded only tepidly (by refusing to pass her last-minute tax alternative).
I really like this new term! I was working R&D / Development at J&J for about 14 years. I was one of the early members of a group called: "Mental Health Diplomats" When I first got involved, and over the years, I would try to pitch ideas to set up a system/program for neurodivergants who were under utilized.

In retrospect, it is pretty hard for a weird nerd to gain traction with any ideas other than obviously profitable products. Strategic thinking needs to be done by the MBA's /s
Well, to me your comment also speaks to the increasing degree to which we medicalize personality traits.

I'm sure your diagnosis is legitimate, but also I'm inferring from your comment that you are married and gainfully employed; so it sounds like you're able to build and maintain relationships, as well hold conversations with strangers or non-close acquaintances when necessary.

In years past would any professional have bothered to test someone like you for a disorder?

Just a guess here - but to make diagnosed people feel more included and part of a group, the more people get diagnosed even if it's 0.01%, the more safe the others feel because they're not alone, it stops being a stigma
Disputing with banks isn't particularly reliable. These larger companies have a script now for responding for one, and the other thing that happens is they'll kill your account and permanently ban you.

The author is conflating people who are motivated internally by making great contributions to society with autism. Many of the best artists and scientists aren't autistic, and perhaps are quite the opposite: deeply emotional and socially aware. I'd argue you need a deep understanding of social value to even want to make a great contribution to society.

Also, it's not like people with autism are automatically geniuses. Anecdotally I've found autism to not really contribute to original and innovative thinking, more with excessive fixation on a subject. There is a difference.
this is amazing yet docs are lacking as per instruction to install:
"cargo install lsp-ai -F llama_cpp -F metal"

one gets:
Package `lsp-ai v0.1.0` does not have feature `llama-cpp-2`. It has an optional dependency with that name, but that dependency uses the "dep:" syntax in the features table, so it does not have an implicit feature with that name.

not very clear what enabling feature is beyond specifying the flag whether to download git clone and build etc.
Keep making everything racist and you'll continue to make everyone racist.
Popular or not, all this has taught me is that NYC, and with that most of America has no vision for any future. If after 10 years and millions in setup just to get congestion pricing in place, it falls thru because of the whims of a governor there’s just no hope for any more difficult capital projects.

Realistically, we’re never going to see any ambitious projects in my life time and it’s sad to see
Vulkan Graphics Programming in Java
I want to say this article describes me, but then I realized that it's just my confirmation bias. Who doesn't like to think that they are the smartest ones around and it's everyone else who is stupid and clueless?

Science ultimately is a collective effort. The collaboration doesn't need to happen in real time, in the same physical place. Ideas can be spread out across time and geographies and finally one person puts them together and given our bias for hero worship, we call that one person a genius and go on a wild goose chase of how can we create more geniuses instead of asking how can we foster a environment for ideas, an environment which sometimes needs to last for decades in order to bear fruit.
The FTC is doing that too all the time now. For obvious reasons they don't draw the same headlines.

Maybe I'm silly but I don't understand why you wouldn't do web interactivity with old machines by going the old-fashioned way, which if optimized can feel wonderfully fast (just not as fast as an SPA that anticipates data loads, giving the user the illusion of instant) and will be more lightweight, easier to understand, will take advantage of all the old traditional tech ecosystem, etc.

Wow, well I guess its good to know what your weaknesses are. I support anyone who bothers to try and improve the UI situation with the web.

Unfortunately, I think at some point the industry is going to have to start over and throw away HTML and CSS. Maybe throw away the browser as well. Javascript will survive on its own, but who knows if it will be useful in Web 6.0

The web browser is really holding us back. Something’s gotta give. And htmx is not going to be it.

> economists unduly focus on a few metrics of dubious quality

Which is funny, because as economist, half of the material is "these metric don't matter, if there's no benefit for the population, but you can't ignore them either". It can be summarized as something like "economic indicators are not perfect measures of general well-being, but you need the indicators to look good to be able to distribute well-being".

The thing is, that the public doesn't get that _nuance_. Good economist know that a growing GPD doesn't mean that everyone is feeling good, but also knows that a shrinking one means that most will fell bad.
