> gave you rails

As I see it Dave released rails, Yehudah gave us GOOD rails, and Raphael gave us functional, stable rails.

That original release wasn’t in a vaccuum either, he had coders at 37 signals.

My post isn’t about being anti-Dave but being pro the-people-who-bleed-rails the ACTUAL maintainers. I would say something like “it’s the difference between a general and boots on the ground soldiers” but, that would imply much more involvement then I actually saw.

It’s like he never gave them (enough) credit, and continued to not give them credit or recognition. That is, until things got so bad with his PR that he felt compelled to make some token gestures. And he’s struggled at those.

The exploitation comment isn’t about the work we did. We did that gladly. The community was better. We didn’t do it for pay, but we did it for something. And it’s not that Dave didn’t want to give us whatever it is we wanted, it’s that he never really cared enough to find out.

Again, it’s hard to convey the feeling through words. I’m grateful for him for the things he’s given me. I’m also wanting to recognize what he’s done to others who have also given me things. I can hold onto both at the same time.

1. Most JS engines are vastly more complex to embed than Lua, which is one of the easiest pieces of software to compile I can think of
2. You're conflating common browser APIs with JS. A JS engine does not provide a canvas, or a DOM. V8 does not, for example: those are things you would need to add yourself.
> Duplicating portions of human intelligence has tremendous practical use in every facet of society. The tech just needs to get there.

That last part is the only part that skeptics are skeptical of.

GPT-4 is amazing in a lot of ways and shouldn't be discounted, but the grandest predictions of AI's impact depend on the exponential growth we saw in 2022-2023 continuing. What we've seen this year (GPT-4o, increasing cries from the established players for governments to build them a moat) suggests that that's not happening. We seem to have hit a cap on capabilities and have started just making it smaller and faster.

This is great and will be useful, but GPT-4-level tech isn't going to revolutionize everything the way that the hype suggests. We need something more.

I don’t think you’d need to download on the fly. You can imagine models being installed like extensions where chrome comes with Gemini installed by default. Then have the API allow for falling back to the default (Gemini) or throwing an error when no model is available. I’d contend that this would be a better API design because the user can choose to remove all models to save space on devices where AI is not needed (ex: kiosk).

I would love to know what you're doing right and I'm doing wrong, because my experience with AI has been mostly crap. I've tried using AI to summarize articles, but then the AI will say something interesting, so I actually look at the article and quickly realize the AI summary was wrong.

You might want to double check that what the AI is telling you is actually accurate and not just blindly trust its output.
Dev rejects CVE severity, makes his GitHub repo read-only
In fact, if you can predict LLMs getting another 10X cheaper and 10X smarter over the next few years, it makes sense to start building LLM integrations today; even if they don't work well and cost too much today, every few months your feature will get better and cheaper, with very little work by you. Sounds like a fantastic ROI to me.
Same journey for me, sadly I don't think drinking coffee consistently is the perfect answer. No matter what amount I drink it either becomes too little (because I adapt) or too much (Far worse sleep, somewhat depressive, can't work out or jog anymore because of heart fluttering, only truly feel good for ~4-5h per day, then worse all day).
I think the only theoretical way to consistently get value out of coffee is to drink it during the work week and then force myself to withdraw on the weekend so my body always has a fresh response to it. The reason why I don't like this either is because I obviously lose two entire days of my life to feeling pretty bad per week and you still eventually start drinking more because it's inevitable. Now what I remember seeing over the years is that whenever somebody would mention that they don't drink coffee and that person is still a high performer then they always seemed to be really into fitness and sports. Maybe this is the only way, using physical exercise as a stimulant instead of coffee.

The problem has nothing to do with how you're finding your sources and everything to do with the lack of bothering to verify and understand them properly. What does it matter if you got your source list from tea leaves so long as you validate the information in the sources?

Nothing replaces actually going out and verifying anything yourself (yet) but that doesn't make tools which do a first past somehow to blame for someone's laziness while tools that put no effort in at all are supposed to be just fine.
Prior to like the 70s it was widely believed that drinking water during marathons (and maybe exercise in general?) was bad. Some of the best American marathon runners would do crazy stuff like run in deep summer wearing sweaters and drinking no water to condition their bodies.

Gatorade was invented in 1965, and the cross country shoe in the 70s. Prior to that it was the wild west, no one studied or knew anything about this stuff really prior to that.

I am curious if this has been studied at length by psychiatrists. Perhaps I am just projecting my own dread at the idea but I would imagine this would be novel for a while but then reality would set that this is fake and people would experience the death of their loved one all over again. Would this give people closure? Does the simulation provide a simulated death for those that did not experience the loss of their loved one in person? Would people end up more depressed as they are reliving the death all over again? Is there a subconscious desire to experience this? On a darker note, would this lead to simulations of death for people that are still alive?

These common bases have been proposed, BMW at some point wanted German OEMs to cooperate on that, but they will never operate as open source projects, because they require hundreds of thousands in hardware to develop for.

It's mostly the "staying relevant" subset of FOMO that is pushing such widespread adoption. Like FOMO, "staying relevant" is poorly defined and emotionally driven, making it effectively meaningless. Probably the smartest response is to slap something flashy on that does little, and took few resources to add. The more resources you apply to staying relevant generally the worse the decision is.
Since it has now become fashionable to give up on coffee, it would be refreshing to hear anecdotes from "the other side" as well -- people who drink plenty of coffee, throughout the day, but do not suffer from significant negative side-effects (i.e., they continue to get good sleep, have low stress, etc.)
Part of the problem is that public libraries also generally lend DVDs et al for free.

If your local library is well funded, most new titles appear on shelves pretty quickly after release.

The target demographics of people who can't afford or for whom internet is totally unavailable for streaming are much better served by their public library. It's generally funded by your city, county, or property taxes and pretty much any resident of the locality gets free access.

That leaves extremely rural locations as a target for Redbox, which is generally a pretty small market.

Once the training is complete, one thing I didn't see mentioned in the paper was how they maintain the charge on the gate capacitors, which is analogous to the weights in a traditional neural network if I'm understanding this correctly. Any practical implementation will need to have some practical way to refresh that on a continuous basis so that the weights don't drift. Was this perhaps mentioned somewhere and I missed it?

Same with me.

> It’s only when I’m pressured to go beyond that I suffer

What I discovered was that If I gradually increase my consumption, then it doesn't cause any issues. There was a point where I'd drink my 4 or 5th cup of coffee very close to bed time and still get a good night of sleep. But the key was to gradually build up to that point.

I drink 2 or 3 cups now (mainly because I can no longer consume coffee after large meals, and OMAD at night is no longer sustainable).

Depends on the industry and use case.

For example, AI leveraged SOC is going to be operational within 3-5 years, and there goes 50-70% of jobs in that sector.

Others segments are significantly behind (robo-taxis) and I'm sure there are other segments much further ahead (call center automation), but the change is absolutely coming - not because of LLMs alone, but because the entire ecosystem around ML/AI is a 15 years old now, and there's an entire generation of SWEs that are just as competent as ML PhDs were 15 years ago.

Agreed, but do most 4X games even have an endgame? Many sandbox games are endless by design, and the intersection of sandbox & 4X seems to be pretty big.

I think it's different to CfNA in that this game simulates an actual campaign with clear goals, but that endgame cannot be reached in a reasonable time by any owner of this piece of cardboard. I'd say that's bad game design...

And how.
I’d have to give away some of my secret system prompt sauce to tell you, but I’m sure that the summarizations I get are solid, we’ve done extensive evaluation of truthiness. I have tens of thousands of hours of calls summarized monthly from paying customers who rely on them to be accurate. We’ve only ever gotten hallucinations when we accidentally omitted the transcript, and even that was fixed by allowing the LLM to alert us when it didn’t see a transcript.
Modafinil increases my risk-taking behavior much more than amphetamine does, though otherwise has much lower physical side effects than amphetamine. Took me awhile to realize I was being incredibly flirty due to modafinil. It was typically well-received and it took me a long time to realize that it was modifying my behavior. But once I knew what to look for I saw the modifications across wide parts of my life including work and personal goals. Generally made me take on more ambitious goals.

Eventually I suffered some traumatic events and modafinil started causing anxiety, especially when mixed with caffeine, and I found vyvanse was better after that for managing my ADHD without quite as much paralyzing anxiety.

Everyone’s brain reacts very differently to each stimulant. On the very rare occasion that I take cocaine I usually just fall asleep and enjoy a hard nap! I don’t experience about 90% of the effects my friends report from it.

Caffeine keeps me awake all night long even if I have just half of a cup of coffee any time after 11AM, and increases my anxiety to the point where it’s very difficult to be productive.

Dextroamphetamine and Vyvanse both affect work productivity similarly for me but dextroamphetamine shuts down my social interaction, whereas Vyvanse increases it. This is particularly strange because they “should” be the exact same active drug once the Vyvanse is metabolized. Biology is still very much being discovered and there is a lot that we just don’t know yet.

s/blockchain/distributed immutable public ledger

There are real use cases and value from blockchain, but it is far more niche than the crypto and NFT folks wanted to believe. IMO there was a lot of horse-cart thinking. “Blockchain is so amazing any product built on it will be successful!”

Quite to the contrary, regular use of amphetamines impairs the immune response, which isn't all that surprising since chronic amphetamine consumption leads to increased stress levels.

Do you have an image of the cap in the right orientation, as it would also appear as it is sitting on someone's head?

If not, any algorithm is necessarily going to have to invent what the cap looks like from another angle, making up details on any previously-hidden side and guessing at the depth of different parts of the still image in order to rotate it into the right orientation

If yes, crop it out and paste it onto the target head

Well, some people do claim one use of the Oculus is this. I remain skeptical that most consumer-grade VR headsets are useful for real work.
