My experience cooking at michelin contenders and a couple michelin star restaurants in the 2000s was that pretty much every single cook had started their career as a line cook or dishwasher at a no-prestige restaurant, even a chain. "Low guy in big kitchen" if you're talking about a locally notable restaurant is not a job available to people who don't already know their way around a kitchen.

The two normal paths both start from cooking as "just a job" in or right after high school, decide you want to do it seriously. And then either go to culinary school or beg your way into a better kitchen and start grinding your up way. It was about 50/50, I only ever ran into a handful of people who went straight into culinary school with no experience.
One of the core value propositions of AWS is to take advantage of the various services to scale more easily with more linear costs than you would be able to otherwise.

Writing and maintaining code that sets up and configures S3, SQS, SNS, DynamoDB, and Lambda is a non-zero cost, but if it then reduces the amount of code I have to write and maintain to "write the application," that's often a good thing. These services are typically solving the hard and/or tedious parts of the application, so it's actually quite valuable to just focus on developing the core differentiating points of the application instead of solving / maintaining highly available object storage or message queues.
Yeah, for me, it's like watching a movie through fog. Although, I feel like when I was younger, I had far more vivid recall.
Does anyone else feel struck with a sense of shameful naivety when you discover (as I just did now) that your beloved local whatever store is actually a nationwide chain?
The context here (since the title isn't too revealing), is that the FDA expanded approval for a drug despite essentially unanimous didagreement from the scientists actually analyzing the drug. Derek Lowe, a well-respected pharma blogger, writes about how this was a big mistake and a very bad look for the FDA.
Honestly same, but only because Python has types relatively sorted. While I actually enjoy the language, Ruby is… struggling… and after supporting multiple Rails apps in the wild for close to a decade, what me and my team miss the most is the ability to hint types easily.

The price of fission will hopefully come down over the next decade via reduced regulations and higher production rates (of smaller reactors).
No. Assuming it's using steam generators like most powerplants (gas, nuclear, and coal), then the only heat released to the atmosphere would be the inevitable entropic losses. This is the same amount of heat lost by nuclear powerplants (although you could argue nuke plants release decay heat that fusion plants wouldn't but that's negligible). Gas and coal plants release that heat as well, but then also release greenhouse gases that heat things up further
> Wow. Europe is poor.

Edit : parent has since edited his message to something else, my reply was to his original comment, comprised strictly of what I quoted.

Wow, you lack knowledge of the matter? I wonder what makes you think it's a money thing, because it's not.

Even brand new homes built today may not have any AC, or only AC in a few specific pieces, simply be cause of the need: you didn't need AC at any time of the year before, a very hot day meant 35 degrees Celsius.

The need now comes from climate change and heatwave being more common and hitting harder, year after year.

As for the actual comment : I don't think your understand the difference between the traditional heat in Singapore and the Mediterranean heat, those are at two very different point of the scale...

I think it's ambiguous because tic-tac-toe is a solved problem, so presumably it's being done as an exercise to learn something about neural nets.

If the idea were to write an AI to win at a harder game, it would make more sense to add whatever biases you can. You might get better performance that way. Or maybe that's what they thought back when that story was written? Game AI was nothing like we think about it now.
And then you'll get into trouble with your provider. While they promised you unlimited, it's only unlimited at full speed for the first xGB and then they reduce you to dial-up speeds. Or you cannot surpass 3* the average in your neighborhood.
I had something similar, though it was maybe a Trinitron? The glass was also flat. It was a long, long time until it felt worth it to “upgrade” to an LCD screen.
I don’t personally agree with the term “overcorrecting” because they aren’t correcting anything. The output is already correct according to the input (humans behaving as they are). It is not biased. What they are doing is attempting to bias it, and it’s leading to false outputs as a result.

Having said that, these false outputs have a strange element of correctness to them in a weird roundabout uncanny valley way: we know the input has been tampered with, and is biased, because the output is obviously wrong. So the algorithm works as intended.

If people are discriminatory or racist or sexist, it is not correct to attempt to hide it. The worst possible human behaviours should be a part of a well-formed Turing test. A machine that can reason with an extremist is far more useful than one that an extremist can identify as such.
We also haven't had a big disaster with battery storage yet, which is probably inevitable as the facilites are built out.

A 10MWh battery storage facility, if it were to release its energy all at once would be something on the order of the Chernobyl explosion (sans radioactivity) so certainly capable of destroying a building and killing people nearby. I'm not sure what is "normal" for a utility scale storage facility but 100 times[0] that doesn't seem out of the question

(From Wikipedia[1], the explosion "was estimated ... to be at 40 billion joules" and from unitconverters.net, 40 billion Joules is about 11 MWh[2].)

Just tried it. Sample size of six though. Asked ChatGPT to grade an accountants CV (temporary chat) and changed names and pronouns only. They all got an eight out of ten score no matter if it was female or male.

Funny you should mention that Feynman story. Because probably more apropos is the story he talks about being able to identify which book on a shelf was recently manhandled - SOLELY BY THE SCENT. I kid you not it if you’re not familiar with that one but I distinctly recall that story from one of his books.
Interesting. Do you have a link to some of his statements to that effect?

I have a lot of respect for Chomsky but sometimes it does seem he's lazy in giving a well balanced argument for the things he advocates for. The above clip I shared is him stating unequivocally that standard dogma is wrong. Now you're telling me he's walked back his position and arguing for something more nuanced.
This complaint comes up enough that I'm surprised nobody's created the Ruby equivalent of GraalVM, to compile a Ruby script, all its deps, and a WPOed subset of the Ruby runtime, into a native executable.
It's not about being poor.
First, the climate didn't require AC in most of the Europe, until ~10 years ago. You had a few hot days, and that's it.
Second, thermal isolation in the US is extremely bad quality. I think people could cut their AC usage by half if they had proper thermal isolation in their houses.
Third, northern Europe countries still don't have a climate to justify buying an AC.
If your PR is big enough that you're relying on a git bisect to find a bug, that's a problem in its own right.

A workflow like what OP is describing (code doesn't exist until it's merged) typically also assumes that your PR is one atomic change, not a whole feature. You'd use feature flags or something similar to decide when to actually release a feature, not the PR process.
Yep its AI. I tried:

Then it returned exactly that error

Advancing Workplace Safety: AI Video Analytics for Accident Reduction
In my experience that's always been the web, which is why PWA is so attractive. Especially now that Android allows you to basically publish your PWAs to the Play store.
I feel this a lot. There are two ways, that I've found to be useful to counteract the feeling of ennui.

First, is to still do coding myself. It's extremely satisfying and helps keep me grounded in the code base.

The second is to focus on the financial metrics of the business. Hitting revenue numbers is a pretty intoxicating. But this only works when, like me one is responsible for sales.
You can kind of figure it out by skimming the comments here. Most mainstream languages have decent-to-great tools built in for scripting, so the difference isn't that huge. So people just prefer to script in the language they already prefer in general, or that the project is written in.
Don't do that then?

Resume screening with an LLM is obviously a bad idea, but maybe this study will be more convincing.
This just makes me think how now, more than ever, it really pays to develop your own distinctive writing voice. It’s not just a way to make yourself stand out, but given how much the way you write can influence your thought process, I worry that all the students ChatGPTing their way through language arts classes will be ultimately more susceptible to groupthink and online influence campaigns.
That'd go against the (implicit?) idea of your message being viewed by the literal next person but I like where you're thinking. If it were upfront about there being two queues, one for a sentence or less and the other for greater than one sentence then it might work.
> It's a testament to how inefficient "the system" is that rooftop solar is economical for a lot of people.

Solar panels are rapidly falling in price, and now I'm generating the power right where I'm using it - so no transmissions losses, no power transmission infrastructure, no transformers, no poles to replace when they get old, no lines to replace when trees fall on them, no trees to trim. No accounts to maintain, no billing, no credit card fees, no taxes.
In fact, to get power to my house for the next ~30+ years requires absolutely zero labor from anybody.

Of course it's economical, it would be baffling if it wasn't.

> Some will tell you that Mozilla's worst decision was to accept funding from Google, and that may have been the first domino, but I hold that implementing DRM is what doomed them, as it led to their culture of capitulation.

Interestingly, I think my tendency to visualize makes me a slow reader. I can suppress it with effort, but typically my pace slows down to let me imagine observing the story.
Ruby's fine for small to medium-sized projects. It's pretty great for small DSLs.

In my professional experience on medium to large-sized projects, its lack of explicit typing, the habit of Rubyists to use its fairly-substantial metaprogramming capabilities at the drop of a hat, and (for projects that include pieces or all of Rails) the system's implicit library loading make such projects a nightmare to reason about and maintain.

I'm sure these aspects are manageable with a small group, or a very, very disciplined group, but when you have large-sized projects that have been continually worked on for ten, fifteen, more years, you're just not going to be able to guarantee that everyone involved will have the combination of knowledge and discipline require to ensure the thing remains easy to understand, extend, and maintain.

More likely than not it would be stuck in a rat nest of contradicting codes and rules.

The US Supreme Court ruling with regards to Colorado leaving Trump off the ballot was a complete farse. Their explanation was conveluted and contradictory, and they decided to include answers to questions that weren't directly part of the case. What is an LLM supposed to do with that, and how can an LLM trained on our laws be expected to make use of that when courts can, and sometimes do, go against the rules as written?
Funny that we struggle determining if animals are conscious - when I think a deeper question is in front of us: is anyone BUT YOU conscious? Science isn’t usually settled simply by taking people’s word for something. And yet the ONLY creature on this planet I can ever truly know is conscious is ME.

You might tell me you are and I might sort of assume you are since you’re the “same model” - but really, I have no way of knowing you’re experiencing subjectivity the same way I am. Let’s start with our fellow humans before we got onto sperm whales.

Ruby is slow and encourages an esoteric convention over configuration style of OO code.

If you enjoy it, more power to you. However, Python is everyone's second favorite or least favorite language, and it runs laps around Ruby any day. Then there's Go if you need some extra oomph!
This is begging the question (the fallacy, not the colloquial expression). It's only undisciplined to rebase if it's a bad practice, which is the topic under consideration here.

Similar questions throughout this thread make it clear that people assume recognition and/or knowledge of what something looks like is tightly coupled to internal visualization, but (writing as someone with aphantasia) they're not. I can draw both of the examples you gave, thinking about them (including thinking about how I would go about drawing them) just doesn't include an image in my head.

Ed Catmull, former head of Pixar, also has aphantasia[0] and had the staff take the only real diagnostic that exists (the Vividness of Visual Imagery Questionnaire[1]) and found that, on average, the animators had less ability to visualize than the production managers. Obviously they varied significantly - the article mentions one that could play the entire movie in their mind - but lack of mental imagery clearly does not preclude professional level artistry.

> I'm not at all across the Nuclear Energy political discourse ... The article you linked is about what I would expect from both sides.

If you only read (or skim) one technical report on Australia's energy needs and potential solutions:

GenCost: cost of building Australia’s future electricity needs

Each year, CSIRO and the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) collaborate with industry stakeholders to update GenCost. This leading economic report estimates the cost of building new electricity generation, storage, and hydrogen production in Australia out to 2050. Large-scale nuclear technology costs included for the first time.

Renewables remain the lowest cost new build electricity technology.

https://www.csiro.au/en/research/technology-space/energy/Gen...

It's not policy, it's relatively neutral CSIRO advice.

Six page summary: https://www.csiro.au/-/media/Energy/GenCost/GenCost2023-24Fi...

Nuclear came out as not available for quite some time (in Australia) and even then still the most expensive overall which caused the report to slammed as a product of anti nuclear lefty scientists by the Liberal | Murdoch crowd. (For a year prior to release it was hailed as the report that would prove doing nothing until off the shelf nuclear was a thing was the one true way).
At this point it's safer to remove the air bags altogether.
Barring quantum entanglement, how is proving to yourself different from proving to a third party?

Of course, if you trust I won't share my private key, you could just encrypt your signature with my public key. That way my neighbor which wifi I'm using won't be able to tell you're sending me messages.

But that hinges on me not sharing my private key with them. I don't see how any non-quantum scheme could prevent something similar.

The problem is that we shut down a working reactor few years ago for political reasons and that we didn't build more for several decades. When NREs fail to provide enough electricity we don't get a news article, because otherwise it would be the headline almost every day.

2022 and 2023 were a bad time because of delayed COVID maintenance + issue detected of several reactors + heat. This was after decades of no problem.

The summer heat is here to stay and get worse so it should be taken into account when building new reactors.
Folks, it's a reflection of us.

OF COURSE it's impossible. We're trying to emulate human learning to make natural selections, but bias is an incredibly human error.

The figures are about the change rather than the absolute value, so it's not too terrible, but even given that, they could have been normalised by being relative to year 1. A quite warm mess, perhaps?
It really was just trading one bias (the existing world as it stands) for another bias (the preferred biases of SF tech lefties) so that was kind of funny in its own way. It would have been one thing if it just randomly assigned gender/race, but it had certain one-way biases (modifying men to women and/or white to non-white) but not the opposite direction... and then being oddly defiant in its responses when people asked for specific demographic outputs.

Obviously a lot of this was done by users for the gotcha screen grabs, but in a real world product users may realistically may want specific demographic outputs for example if you are using images for marketing and have specific targeting intent or to match the demographics of your area / business /etc. Stock image websites allow you to search including demographic terms for this reason.
Automated screenings have been used for quite a few years now. I never liked the practice, but an LLM can't do any worse than a basic algorithm that attempts to scrub text out of a PDF or Word document and filter by keywords.
Do what!?
This has bitten me many times
All of your points seem accurate to me, but I don't see how merge workflows fix any of it. It seems like the same thing could happen where each commit along the way is broken until the final one, and then it's merged as-is. I don't think that having those intermediate commits being the exact ones that the person made is a solution because the problem you're describing is social, not technical; people not caring about committing messy intermediate state to the repo isn't going to be fixed by using merging rather than rebasing. The only workflow that would eliminate the problem entirely is to completely remove all intermediate state by squashing to a single commit before any merge, at which point doing a merge versus a rebase won't matter.
I was a bit disappointed by the message I received. I hope my message's recipient likes mine.
No one has figured out how to actually do this yet. Which is why it is vague. The radiation levels and difficulty maintaining the magnetic confinement make this essentially impossible right now.

Another reason why fusion is always 50 years away. It’s really hard (outside of a nuclear bomb or star, anyway).
> After a rebase you have commits where no one's ever run the tests, no author ever intended to get the repo into that state.

I take it that you've never reviewed a PR where the commits were a series of "wip" commits that don't even type check, much less pass the tests?

Undisciplined developers will be undisciplined. Forcing a rebase-free workflow mostly makes it less likely that these developers will lose work, it doesn't magically give you a clean commit history from them.
