Omg I am so jealous. All the appliances I use at home or family have horrendous UIs.

And I am really trying hard to find appliances with passable UIs. It's impossible those days.

And for the few that have a rotary encoder, they are barely usable, and used for anything but selecting the time.

I have contacted companies and offered to write the code for free to fix theirs shitty knobs. But they all refused or didn't bother replying.

Anyways I am off topic.
Far from pejorative; I sometimes need a bit of time to appreciate the brunette fatale[0] or (pace Heinlein) the rousse fatale.

Would it help to point out that the chorus of the song is:

Devushki bivayut razniye - Girls are different
Chorniye, beliye, krasniye. Black, white, red

which could refer to hair colour (brunette, blonde, rousse) or to skin colour or to schoolgirl uniforms[1,2] or even —at a stretch, for the alcoholics among us?— to la bière?

Marie-Henri Beyle was also not averse to blondes[3] so I had been wondering if we only missed out on Le Rouge, le Blanc, et le Noir because his publisher wanted the letters on the spine of the book to be large enough to catch a readers' eye?

[0] incidentally, L'Été Meurtrier (1983) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9yFNO4Q3So has a plot that would exactly match up with Galois' claim that his duel was (a) on account of a young woman who —even in Republican correspondence?— was no better than she should be, and (b) was to avenge her honour, but with (spoiler! rot13) oynzryrff crbcyr.

(one of my favourite papers is by some geneticists at a seminar near Nice or Marseilles or St Tropez, who notice in the restaurant at lunch that nearly all men are brunet and nearly all women are blonde, and proceed to work out how what needs to be carried on which chromosome for the underlying genotypes to result in the observed phenotypical variation)

>>. Nuclear isn’t an option because of financial reasons anyways and probably never will be

The thing is......the "core" of national energy grid shouldn't operate in the "for profit" model. Any wealthy country should have enough nuclear power stations to be completely independent of any external energy source, even if they lose money operating them. It's a matter of national security, not free market. That's just my 2 cents though.
Yep. And, sadly, you can replace "science" with "Roman Catholic Church", or any number of socially-similar human social institutions, and the story is the same. There's a powerful hierarchy invested in the status quo, and a large mob of "little people" at the bottom - who can turn nasty fast if their simplistic worldview seems threatened.

Why can't you estimate the trustworthiness of an LLM? I happen to think that you can, and that the above analogy was fine. You don't need to read someone's forum history to know you shouldn't to trust them on something high-stakes. Maybe instead of strongly stressing you should present a convincing argument.

Having a way to install all packages and all versions of Python somewhere central, and referring to them both as a combination in a virtual environment, would be fantastic. It's nice that an ecosystem of tools has built into this gap, but it does make good Python practice less approachable, as there are so many options.
It strikes a balance, by allowing _literals_ to be implicitly converted as needed.

E.g. `someDouble * 1` is valid, without needing to write `1.0` or `1f`.

This is because `Double` conforms to the `ExpressibleByIntegerLiteral` protocol. There's other similar protocols for other literal types, which e.g. you could write:

let s: Set = [1, 2, 3]

Where it would have defaulted to being an Array without the annotation.

no, not really -- BUT -- you can print onto the top of a grate to apply that surface finish to the bottom of the print.

It's a neat thing to do when you're printing phone cases or something similar.
Models can be trained more and fine tuned, though, if we're going to stick to the analogy. But in the context of the analogy, the LLM won't be materially updated between two prompts in roughly the way that telling you that the answer you seek is in a book with a specific ISBN isn't materially affected by someone publishing a new book at that moment.

You are quite right that you're not convincing me of your original thesis that that a prompt contains the entire content of the reply in a way that some other reference to an entity in some other pool of information to doesn't. That's not the same as saying "ISBNs and LLM prompts are the same thing", which is a strawman. It's saying that they're both unambiguous (assuming determininism) pointers to information.

Of course no-one is disagreeing that a reply from a deterministic LLM would add no information to the global system (you, an LLM's model, a prompt) than just the prompt would. But I still think the same is true for the content of a book not adding to the system of (you, a book store, an ISBN).

In fact, since random numbers don't contain new information if you know the distribution, one can even extend it to non-deterministic LLMs: the reply still adds no information to the system. The analogy would then be that the book store gives you at random a book from the same Dewey code as the ISBN you asked for. Which still doesn't increase the information in the system.

* Time zones and datetime processing between the server and multiple browsers in different time zones and locales, especially with daylight savings time. An offset is not a time zone. This is probably the #1 category of bugs I've had to fix in my career.

* Async issues and races, especially on slower connections (like how to combine different fetches in parallel in the UI when they all get sent at once but come back out of order)

* SVGs are basically tiny programs that happen to look like images. They're not just vector shapes.

* CSS animations. And flexbox hell. And CSS selector inheritance / priority overall.

* Basic computer science algorithms. I'm guilty of this too, having been a web dev for two decades but never learning what a binary search was until last year. I wouldn't be able to make a graph database or write the algos on my own.

* How to use the IDE debugger to step through code and watch variables etc. It's usually just a bunch of console logs

* Typescript generics, inheritance/extensions and more advanced features

* Haven't seen OOP in a good half decade or longer. It's all a bunch of scattered functions now.

* Basic graphics (Canvas, geometry, WebGL) and mapping (tiling, projections, cartography)

* Workers, server sent events, WASM

* CORS. God, I hate CORS.

* User-first design, instead of hostile adscape pop-up hell holes with exploding cookie jars and international surveillance

* Basic network stuff, like HTTP and DNS and caching (at least among the frontend folks)

* Basic UX/UI stuff, beyond just copying what the designer gives them without really understanding why

* Forms validation, autocomplete, error highlighting, client vs server validation, normalization (of phone numbers, addresses, etc.)

* (With React) States and contexts, now that lifecycle management isn't as important with functional components

* Next.js client vs server stuff and rehydration

* Mobile responsiveness and uncommon viewport sizes (this is STILL an issue!)

* Why we use frameworks and libs instead of raw HTML and vanilla JS

* Time zones, time zones, time zones. And CORS.

When we see what we think is a cat, what we have categorised as a cat, I don't think we are looking at it from each angle and going, cat, cat, cat.

Phys Ed: An Easy Fix for Tennis Elbow (2009)
The vast majority of real, commercial MCUs do not have WiFi in-package. The ESP32 is unique in this regard and is one of its only redeeming features.

But "perfection" is like the shoreline length paradox - once you look deep enough, you will never achieve perfection, it's physically impossible, so all you're doing is making it impossible for yourself to do anything.

Case in point - UK's latest nuclear power plant has been delayed and costs literally billions of pounds more than planned because hairline fractures were discovered in the reactor containment vessel. That sounds bad, right? Anyone who hears "nuclear containment vessel" and "fracture" immediately goes into panic mode and hence why the amount of money being spent on fixing this issue is literally unlimited and the entire project will be massively over budget in every possible way.

But......other nuclear reactors in britain(and in fact across the world) operate with the same fractures in their vessels and it's not considered a reason to shut them down. It's an inevitability of the manufacturing process, the vessel is still strong enough to withstand any kind of situation it could conceivably end up in, so it's literally nothing. But because it "sounds" bad the British public are spending billions to improve something that doesn't need improving, because like you said "Nuclear requires perfection". And I don't disagree with you in principle, but I think we have to acknowledge that perfection has a number of degrees to it.

There are three models:

1. Apple On-Device

2. Apple Server

3. GPT-4o

Apple Silicon/Mx, iPad, iPhone 15 Pro can access all three.

All other devices can still access Apple Server and GPT-4o. So, I'd expect the incompatible devices to actually hammer OpenAI more.
And that is wrong because people might have reason not to mainline drivers.

Paying More for Media – Jacob Kaplan-Moss
Normally I'd call this lobotomizing the AI, and I've been worried for a while this is how models will become further shackled by the vendors operating them. In this case, however, it feels more like deprogramming, which is something I can get behind. I didn't expect the line between the two to be so blurry, though in retrospect it's obvious that the same technique can be used for both.
Wages is a proxy of how valuable your work is, but not a measure of how value your work is. To support a high salary something has to happen, either the product sold is very expensive or it's being subsidized by investors. No company can pay its employees above what they are able to generate selling the product they worked on indefinitely.
Your comment is somewhat buried downthread, but I think this is a super valuable insight. Ultimately it's not about fairness, it's about who has negotiating power, and about what contract terms founders and investors can get away with and still have a pool of employee talent competent enough for their needs.

But this isn't a static situation. For example, the article author points out that his startup doesn't reduce the options-expiration clock to 90 days after leaving the company, and I've read of similar cases in the past 5 years or so. I wouldn't say this practice is common now, but I feel like this was unheard of around, say, 2010.

After the company I worked at went public in 2016, they did another public offering 2 or 3 months later, before the 6-month lockup period ended. Nonetheless, they allowed employees to participate and sell up to 10% of their shares in this offering. I feel like this sort of thing is more common these days, and absolutely wasn't 20 years ago.

Established still-private companies like Stripe, and even newer ones like OpenAI, have given employees the opportunity to sell some of their equity to new investors during funding rounds, giving them some pre-IPO/pre-exit liquidity. There are certainly other examples of this in recent years. That surely was rare in the past.

I'm not sure what's driving these changes. Employees have been gaining more negotiating power somehow. Maybe that's a function of labor supply. Maybe that's a function of employees being better educated now about corporate finance and the things that are possible but historically not offered. Not sure.
I assumed you were person I responded too, which is not the case, sorry for this.
