Always interesting to compare how things work across industries, but comparing tech with sports I think is both common and problematic.

Problematic because it leads ICs to think of themselves as the quarterback throwing or wide receiver making the game winning catch with 1 minute left, getting lifted up into the air, renegotiating a contract for millions more, retiring early, getting inducted to the hall of fame etc.

Why is this so problematic? I think it leads engineers to overvalue the short term wins (getting a particularly tricky implementation correct) sometimes at the cost of their health and wellbeing if they work nights and weekends to get it done. And no one is watching it live at the edge of their seats. Even more distressing is that having more junior ICs have to pull heroics to keep the business alive is a tremendous anti-pattern. The point of management is make the right decisions so the organization steers clear of asking their least experienced contributors to damage their health on a regular basis (...really at all!).

A well run org couples decision making and seniority. If an IC is making a lot of org impacting decisions they are probably as senior or more-so than most line managers (or should be promoted to be if this happens regularly) and are comped the same way. Now it would be nice if decision making was as transparent as coaches making the right/wrong play (the offensive coordinator calling a running play no one watching thought was a good idea). In an ideal org failures or inaction would be more transparent. If a manager is basically not making any decisions (adding no value) there are certainly management failures at several levels (maybe up to the top) preventing folks from getting upset about it. Again ideally audibles are a very occasional exception.

Where does money comes from? In sports, teams competing are the product. Players are kinda like features and marketing all built into one. Companies spend a significant portion of all their money on building product and marketing it. I think IC engineers are probably closer to the support staff than the players on the field...the comparison is problematic.

And which hall of fame? - the engineers in our hall of fame are the folks doing things for the first time, trailblazing, largely researchers (Turing awards etc). There is no "got 4 hours of sleep for months delivering a poorly planned product and got an autoimmune disease" hall of fame.
I didn't say anything about discoveries in fundamental physics. Regardless, the problem of FTL travel is still the same. It violates cause and effect.
I think that, if an OSS EMR takes off, it won't take off in America. We have a lovely combination of high bureaucracy and low standardization.

> I feel so stupid for never noticing that pretty much everything done on TCP is actually message exchange, not streams.

This generalization isn’t true at all. Streaming data over TCP is extremely common in many applications.

When you download a large file, you’re streaming it to disk, for example.

I guess you could get pedantic and argue that an entire stream of something is actually one large message, but that’s really straining the definitions.
Its /not/ (only) external, as your "disabled" in the same sentence already implies. Fundamental changes have been made that transfer power from the end user to elsewhere without end user consent nor them understanding the scope and meaning of the problem at hand.
This transfer was ( partially ) forced by third parties not acting in the end user or Mozillas interest; in fact the opposite is true.
Not only damages technical in nature where dealt, but also in terms of good name & reputation since the adversary made Mozilla squander their responsibilities and by extension betray their relationship with the end users. This is a textbook example of howto drive any organization into the ground.

The critical part is knowing that TTF fonts can include a virtual machine.. then he pops an llm into that and replaces instances of !!!!!! with whatever the llm outputs.
The alternatives he proposes have their problems too.

Just plotting points will lead to saturation in high density areas that depends on point size and opacity.

Making bin color proportional to point density will require normalization to make the plot readable in many cases.

While I like these plots too in certain situations, I would argue they're actually less elegant than the boxplots for those reasons.

And come on, boxplots aren't that hard to explain to someone who already is used to working with percentiles.
That was true through the 90's, but not anymore. A typical datacenter unit from 2014 would have been a 4-socket Ivy Bridge-EP with 32ish ~3 GHz cores. You aren't going to emulate that feasibly with equivalent performance on anything modern, not yet.

The devs couldn't make it anywhere without the training data. 'My LLM' is the current chat window, whatevers' coming out of it, I am responsible for that, not the company who created it, and if I am responsible, I have to own it, just like I own the things 'my child' creates until that child is ready to own it's responsibility itself.

This is really cool, but I'm left with a lot of questions. Why does the font always generate the same string to replace the exclamation points as he moves from gedit to gimp? Shouldn't the LLM be creating a new "inference"?

As an aside, I originally thought this was going to generate a new font "style" that matched the text. So for example, "once upon a time" would look like a storybook style font or if you wrote something computer science-related, it would look like a tech manual font. I wonder if that's possible.

Tips are absolutely taxable income and are required to be reported: https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/tip-income-is-taxable-and-must-...

Which is why your server wants you to tip in cash, because then there's no official record of the tip.

P.S. to tipped employees, paying taxes sucks, but cheating yourself out of SS credits by not paying your taxes sucks more in the long term. Especially if you wind up with some disability in early adulthood that limits your work capabilities. You want your pay history with the social security administration to be as long and as high as it can be, so bite the bullet and pay your taxes on your tips too.
Probably because you are only listening to soundbites. Try reading something detailed he has recently written on the subject like "Why Only Us".

The arguments for language as not-for-communication are 1. language's hierarchical structure is inefficient for linear communication 2. language seems to have appeared suddenly (probably due to a sudden mutation) and had no time to evolve and initially no one to communicate with 3. most use of language seems to be internal/thinking not communication.

These are all better arguments than those in the paper.
We also have samples of other nearby planets and astral bodies that do have signs of life. Signs, not evidence.

> This is perhaps a consequence of student debt nightmare from worthless, over priced college degrees. People waiting tables and serving coffee now are "highly educated" with expectations!

I hate this sentiment. Not every degree is going to lead to a high paying career, but knowledge is worth having in it's own right. If people are passionate enough spend four years studying art history or poetry or underwater basket weaving then I'm glad we are sharing and preserving that knowledge in our culture. I don't like tipping culture, and I don't really think the two are related, but if tipping is the only way that we could get a generally well rounded educated population then I suppose I'll prefer tipping.

But reading carefully, it looks like by "fresh water" they means water on land aka rain, not just the existence of seas.

That phrasing wasn't meant to be taken literally. It's an American expression.

"The best humanity has to offer" just means that people put in a good faith effort to obtain the best that they were capable of obtaining given the resources they had. It's a fuzzy concept because there aren't necessarily objective measures of good, but I think we can agree that, for example, Boeing isn't creating the best products humanity has to offer at the moment, because they have a recent history of obvious problems being ignored.

> How do you know the best is a very different thing from a "high risk" scenario?

Going to space is inherently a high risk scenario.

As for whether what you have is the best you can have: you hire subject experts and listen to them. In the case of Challenger, the subject experts said that the launch should be delayed for warmer temperatures--the best humanity had to offer in that case was delaying the launch for warmer temperatures.

The CEO just needs to do nothing for this to happen. I have attended many "anti-bulling" trainings. They are mostly there for legal reasons, so the company can say that they "do not encourage or tolerate bullying". But then they promote bullies and punish victims systematically.

CEOs are the most smarter capable people until you look for responsibilities. Then they know nothing and have no impact on anything.

Not exactly straightforward when alcohol is sold. Alcohol laws see liability placed on the server, which means that technically transaction is directly between the customer and the server. Which is no doubt why tipping traditionally was only a practice in places where alcohol is sold.

I can't imagine we want to change that. Allowing someone to give endless amounts of alcohol to a customer without any repercussions is rife with problems, and removing the ability for a customer to pay a vendor for services rendered would undo everything we know.
Which is why I set the bar so low. One real world example. I'll be happy to provide, say, 50 examples of companies cutting safety costs resulting in people dying for every example of a company going bankrupt because they actually gave a shit about the safety of their workers.

This is cool, as far as a practical issue though (aside from the 280gb TTF file!) is that it makes it incompatible with all other fonts; if you copy and paste your "improved" text then it will no longer say what you thought it did. It just alters the presentation, not the content. I guess you would have to ocr to get the content as you see it.

I was wondering why this was never used for an simpler autocorrect, but i guess that's why.

Also perhaps someone more educated on LLMs could tell me; this wouldn't always be consistent right? Like "once upon a time _____" wouldn't always output the same thing, yes? If so even copying and pasting in your own system using the correct font could change the content.
