The other baffling thing was how long it took cheap Covid antigen tests to reach the US market. In Europe, 1 Euro antigen tests were widely available, while in the US, they could easily cost more than $10 and were difficult to find.

At 1 Euro a test, you could easily test yourself every morning before heading to work or school.

That's how the first automated trading firms operated in the 80s. NASDAQ required all trades to be input via physical terminals, so they build an upside down "keyboard" with linear actuators in place of the keys, that would be then placed on top of the terminal keyboard, and could input trades automatically.

Nah. You're just willfully ignoring it. I don't think you're engaging in good faith at all. I'm not confused in the least, despite your constant accusations, and I've been pretty clear and unambiguous.

Your post history shows you as someone who can't ever admit when they are wrong and frequently resorts to ad hominems, and can't bear not having the last word. That's all this is. Now, since you want to play, I guess we'll see how long this goes on for.

I think we have a misunderstanding - I don't mind if I'm reading AI generated content as long as it doesn't look like "the typical AI content" (or SEO slop).
In my point of view companies/writers might use AI detectors to continue improving the quality of their content (even if it's written by hand, those false positives might be a good thing).
We're not there yet because I still see and read a lot of AI/SEO slop.

I agree with you that the "portion of written content online that’s AI generated with no obvious tells" is "small yet growing". That's exactly the thing - it's still too small to "be there yet" :)

For professionals (doctors) it works, we know that for a long time. It's not fail safe, but it works.

For the rest of the population it is hard to determine a mask measure works. Even with this study it's hard to determine. Regular people tend to reuse masks too much, not care for quality labels (N95, etc), and not adjust them well.

You can go and fetch the book from a book store using the information. Fundamentally there's not much difference between that and "fetching" the output from some model using the matching prompt. In both cases there some kind of static store of latent information that can be accessed unambiguously using a (usually) shorter input.

I'm not saying the value of the returned information is equivalent, of course. But being "just a pointer" into a larger store isn't, in itself, the problem to me.
Just keep looking. Ideally, find a tech team in a company whose core competency isn't tech. Places with outdated tech stacks are a clue that the weaponized management techniques also haven't yet spread.

Sorry if founders already raised a huge valuation, why didn't they hire more devs?

I'm sure what can be done with 996 style slave labor with 3 devs can be done with 6 devs working 9 to 5. It's not like they couldn't afford the salaries (and you mentioned they weren't paying that much anyways).
The purpose of a system is what it does, I suppose.
Back in the day (1970s-1980s), every computer came with BASIC or something preinstalled -- often in ROM. Growing up I thought computers were for programming as bikes were for riding or pencils were for writing with. Using someone else's program was always an option, but you always had the full capability of the machine ready to put to your own uses, and an easy way to get started.

We forwent this in favor of getting that consoomer dollar. We gave the user ever more elaborate premade applications, which is nice; meanwhile, programming environments went from the default mode of interaction with the machine to expensive add-ins (thinking of early Windows with Visual Basic and ToolBook). HyperCard was free on the Mac, but didn't keep pace with the machine's expanding capabilities. QBasic was perfect for the DOS environment, but it didn't really transition to Windows except as Visual Basic, which again was an expensive add-on. Speaking of, even the RAD tools of yesteryear are largely gone. We have open-source dev environments now, but they aren't approachable the way microcomputer BASIC was. Getting someone set up with Node or even Rails requires command-line jiggery-pokery and installing all sorts of dependencies, just to get started.

And now, we're somehow hoping that a somewhat cleverer Dissociated Press is going to bring back citizen programmers? Fuck no. If we want end users to program their own apps, we have to find our way out of the shit we created, not add new layers of shit to deal with the old layers. The pathway to citizen programmers is making programming accessible, with full capabilities available, with documentation, right from the jump. No toy languages (e.g. Small Basic). Kids should be able to write turtle-drawing programs with the same language/environment adults use to build real-world applications.
How does the employee sound like a tool here?

I can't speak for anyone else, but this can clearly be interpreted on a personal level. Every day I can do my best to influence public policy; but even if I am successful, a policy change takes time. In the meantime, I can decide whether I will wear a mask; but I cannot force any other person to wear a mask.
Thank you for your suggestion. What you've said is correct.

Indeed, the criteria of "relevance" and "importance" are largely subjective. Setting the goal as "high quality" is a more objective and feasible approach, as it can be measured based on indicators such as the accuracy of information, depth of thought, and practicality, without relying on personal preferences.

In fact, the publications on this website are the result of utilizing AI to evaluate and categorize high-quality information from over 2000+ sources, which has then been selected and compiled into a collection of publications. Thank you for your suggestion.
Thanks for filling in a few blanks for me! While living in the Netherlands I had a Swiss neighbor.

Its always interesting to me when western modern medicine tries to scientifically validate alternative treatments that have been around for much longer. It's such a difficult thing to do, the two approaches are based on such drastically different approaches to health and the body that it really can be like trying to translate a book to English with a Latin dictionary.

They were against the obvious (and transparent) attempts to push the vaccine out before the election as some sort of political ploy - not the vaccine itself. Nearly everyone said they'd trust it if the FDA was left to their regular approval process. Which is a shame too, there was good reason to accelerate the approval but the admin messaging was focused purely on the political rather than health benefits of doing so.

> The founders still get preferential access to it, but because they really have taken more risk

It's not related to risk, at least not directly. It's related to the supply of entrepreneurship as a factor of production. Entrepreneurship is scarce, so founders have leverage in any bargaining situation against early employees, who are more numerous and therefore less valuable and less powerful. If 10x the number of people tried to become founders, then founders would hold less leverage and the equity terms would become more "fair" because they'd have no choice but to give generous terms if they wished to hire people.
> This is the dawn of a "post non-narrative prose" era. Why bother with an article describing some event or really anything that is traditionally written about in any form of article at all? In time, just the data will be released and your favorite LLM prepared with your favorite reading style will provide the mustard for your data, making it consumable.

Who's going to "[release the data] describing some event or really anything"?

It's not like there's some objective "data packet" behind every article that can be had for free.

> The journalism industry has failed in their mission, and nobody that should trust it trusts it anymore. Articles are simply what someone else wants you to think.

The "AI" era will be worse in that regard, not better. You're essentially saying "The food at the restaurant is terrible and I don't like it, so in the future to solve that problem we'll eat shit instead."
I am concerned that ultimately whatever supply chain and manufacturing improvements they see from raising this capital will benefit their commercial/industrial customers more than their non-profit/educational/enthusiast customers. I'm not asserting that will happen, but I'm concerned it will.

Where I am it has been next to impossible to order a non-kit model of Pi released within the past several years since at least mid-pandemic.

From what I've seen:

- An inability to work without frameworks. Lots of devs know React/Angular/Vue/whatever, but have a tenuous grasp of vanilla JavaScript

- Lack of computer science/algorithm knowledge. True of myself, and a lot of self taught developers.

- Lack of CSS knowledge. Quite a few devs know a decent amount of HTML, a decent amount of JavaScript (including one or two frameworks) but haven't brushed up on their CSS knowledge in a while. So they'll not know modern additions to the language, or in the worst cases, not know stuff like Grid or Flexbox.

- Accessibility in general is often a knowledge gap, especially given how many devs have an unfortunate mindset of 'every HTML element is a div'. Or thinking that buttons and links are interchangable.

- Browser compatibility is often downplayed a bit too. Quite a few devs know little about browser support for features, with some forgetting that browsers other than Chrome exist.

- And obviously, any sort of deeper knowledge of the tech stack or other aspects of system development. HTTP, server configuration, dev ops, etc are often a black box here.
Debian may have the biggest name in package managers, but Gentoo is my 'home distro'.

Debian has to make choices to use older package versions in many cases, as they don't seem to have a good system for multiple package versions. This means packages are often outdated in general.

Gentoo basically lets you choose versions arbitrarily, which I consider a big plus when it comes to, say, PHP. Also, no silly package drama, you pick which features you want for a package within the package manager system.
When you work for a start up you can have a material impact on the company's success (or failure).
On any issue some percent of the population will be contrarian. This is why there's much less resistance if policies are heavily encouraged instead of trying to punish dissenters. At the point where x issue becomes part of the culture war concensus becomes impossible.

While both Elixir and TypeScript are structural, they are different type systems. A set-theoretic type system is not one that has unions, intersections, negations, but rather one where the foundation of the type system is represented on top of unions, intersections, and negations. Even relations such as subtyping, compatibility, etc. are expressed as set-theoretic. We also have a very different approach to dynamic/gradual typing (which is sound): https://elixir-lang.org/blog/2023/09/20/strong-arrows-gradua...

What Apple's AI Tells Us: Experimental Models
Remind you of some entire genres of book?

That’s right, business and self-help books!

Any of these with an author who’s got actual accomplishments and money before writing the book was almost certainly already ghostwritten from an outline (and so are lots of other books, you’d be surprised, it’s not just these genres). Successful CEOs or people you’ve heard of generally don’t write their own books. Often, they’re terrible writers, and even if they’re not, writing is time-consuming and as with everything else that actually creates something they prefer to pay someone else to do it.

As of last year new books in that category are written by AI and edited by one or more humans—with each editor doing just two or three chapters, you can finish one of these books in a month or less.
If masks only protect the virus from escaping and not entering, then wearing a mask protects non-mask-wearers and other mask-wearers the same.
