KDP: What are the biggest pain points with book interior designs
I'm assuming that the most valuable data for predicting turbulence during a flight is timely data from the accelerometers of the iPads on nearby airliners, which gets me curious as to whether these iPads usually have connectivity (to your AWS servers) during a flight, and how that connectivity is provided. (I'm guessing satellite.)
Just thinking through the liability of tricking an LLM into giving you the personal details of a target. I'm not sure there are many companies out there large enough to shoulder those liabilities?

One woman gets killed by some deranged ex, you can get through that. But now you have notice. You know. So you have to do something to make sure your LLM doesn't get tricked again. Politicians and law enforcement aren't going to sit around and let that sort of thing become commonplace. And when politicians get up and start waving around the "crime wave" banner, things can develop in a direction you don't want them to go.

So I think it's probably wise for these guys to get out in front of the problem of people tricking LLMs into saying things that they are not intended to say. The option if they can't control that, is that the politicians and law enforcement come in and take advantage of the inevitable nightly news cycle to grab more powers and reelections, and that's not good for anyone in our industry.
It sees quite a lot of use in the traditional finance industry in europe from what I've been told but basically all of that is closed source.

However probably the "biggest" open source project with direct commercial use would be the Cardano blockchain (IOG, one of the main developers for Cardano, is one of the top sponsors for the Glasgow Haskell Compiler as well as a major contributor nowadays).

The cardano node implementation is linked here: https://github.com/IntersectMBO/cardano-node

However a lot of tooling for the ecosystem is spread between that org, the IOG org, and the CF org, as well as others.

Didn’t ForeFlight just come out with something similar recently? https://blog.foreflight.com/2024/05/07/smooth-skies/ They don’t mention ML specifically, but I imagine their install base is a tad larger and can therefore gather more real data. Is your solution different?

I think of worthwhile software projects as stools with three legs: The business opportunity, the interesting technical problem, and the social/ethical issues. They all need to be good in order to have an acceptable product, IMO.

Unfortunately, whenever you read an article about a new technology or read an interview of a founder or something, they spend all their time talking about the first two, and either ignore or give passing lip service to the third one. Even look at HN discussions. Few engineers here really care about the ethics of what they are working on. It's just "is it cool technology?" and (sometimes) "does it make money?" You ask someone if they are working on something good for the world and they look at you like you have an antler growing out of your head. "Yes, I'm making the Torment Nexus, but it uses blockchain and LLMs and it's written in Rust. It's written in RUST!"

No, the courts ruled that in the case of a search engine, scraping was ok because the results are displayed to the user who then clicks on a link that brings them back to the original source. Seems like many in the web development world like to ignore that second part.

AI responses do not bring the user back to the original source/site, the therefore the data use isn’t in line with that reasoning, and thus is a copyright violation.
Most of these lists do not advise on "programming" the task but rather "programming" the job/position. There's no problem with that, I'd just wish it was labelled "software engineering advice" or "advice for programmers". Few of the points are about programming itself and the list is overall pretty good.

Consider this just a rant from an older programmer who hasn't fully recognized that 'programming' is now largely a social endeavor with online info for everything, language and library ecosystems, etc. I wonder how much of this information I would have internalized if it were all available in my time. Seems like the kind of thing I might read and nod in agreement and forget to apply when relevant without some hard earned run-ins (which is how I'd picked them up).

As for actual programming advice, the thing I'd highlight is to look at the data first and foremost. It goes from initial conditions to post conditions. The differences are what your program/function does, but both the pre/post conditions should be able to be fully described as a valid static state. Once you understand that, the problem, the code is largely plumbing with a small part that applies the functional transformation. There's so much focus on the form and style of "the code" that seems to consider it the main thing rather than an artifact of getting the main thing done: think any time there seems to be fancy abstractions that don't provide value to offset its complexity. To relate it to a point in the post, if you can't connect the difficulty you're having with the logical transformation that needs to be done (e.g. from database state to state), it's likely self-inflicted (or it could be due to a poor choice of database schema). Similarly for poor choices of request/response formats--basically bad plumbing between systems (and not intrinsically hard because of the information being handled).

I had a similar childhood, always with the nose in the books (no BD or comics for some reason), except we couldn’t afford to buy books so it was all library. Only four books were allowed at a time so I would read my four SF books and my sister her four horse books and then we’d swap. Our parents needed to tell us to “stop ready and go outside and play”.

For a while there was no library but you could put a request in at the train station and then pick up your books at the station the next day (and return your read ones). This was less than satisfactory as there was no way to browse.

We had the same problem with our kiddo (reading in bed, reading in the bath, reading outside) but when some sort of punishment was required it was easy to declare a brief Lesenverbot.

It’s much easier today as we can afford to buy as many books as we desire.
Renewable resources are one of those things that get me going because it seems like there’s a broad swath of issues that both sides care about (foreign policy, energy independence, lower price of energy) that could be improved with renewable power but the politics are more incentivize by which company spends the most on legislators.

As someone who has worked on haskell professionally, it's probably the easiest language to interview in/for. It's really easy to see how deep a dev has gone down the haskell rabbit hole. Forget a certificate, just talk for 5 minutes.

Any dev who has fully gone down the haskell rabbit hole can definitely grok any other paradigm. The challenge isn't technical skills with devs like this.
If you need a container to be mutable for a while, you can. Mount an NFS volume and run from there.

You can even checkout your code, edit in vim and re-deploy. Crazy talk for production of course, but if you need it, it is possible. Basically it is not that far off from running a binary on a server if you need it to be.
"Those are way too abstract advice when you start programming."

I have come to the conclusion that the use of these sorts of posts is not that the reader, young or otherwise, will instantly and correctly apply all the lessons to their lives.

It's more about sensitizing people to problems they may not currently see, and solutions they may not currently be aware of. It's about shortening the learning curve, rather than eliminating it.

A 1-year programmer is not going to read themselves into a 20-year programmer, no matter what they read. But at the 5 year level I think you'll see a lot of difference between someone who never considers their craft and never pushes themselves, just keeps their heads down and doing the next bug, and the person who has even just occasionally read this sort of post, pondered how it may apply to their current situation, and taken out of it what they can... which may be something completely different than what they take out if they read the exact same post two years later.
> > Autonomous taxis are operating in several cities

> So, some economic value. BTW are those companies profitable at all? Or are they like Uber: losing billions of dollars every year with no chance of ever turning a profit?

AI taxis mean that there are no wages for the driver. The AI driver is basically a slave. The cost of developing the AI may be quite high, or the increased cost for the cars (more sensors), but those things probably scale better than wages for us humans.
A variant on that I say on one of these is "Do the dumb thing" thing to find the right abstraction. I've seen so mucb code that didn't need to be written if someone had just done the dumb thing. On the flip side, I've also seen so much code that could be so much simpler if after writing the dumb solution, they went back and figured out a better one.
I guess the takeaway is: Prototype.

I was just bootlicking the Fox news narrative as hard as you are bootlicking the NYT. It was parody.

My real opinion is that no one is more trustworthy than the other. They're all people. But there are constitutionally delegated duties given to each branch that we've gradually eased over the past century, and between Jarkesy disallowing in-house courts for certain types of crime, the resurgence of the non-delegation doctrine and now the overruling of Chevron, SCOTUS thinks this delegation is not optional. I personally agree with them hesitantly, but predicting the future is hard, and there are some actions they take where I think the consequences are obvious, but this is not one of them, and I would have slept no more or less soundly if this case had come out the other way.

For those interested in the counter-argument, see: Is Administrative Law Unlawful?[0]

"While the federal government traditionally could constrain liberty only through acts of Congress and the courts, the executive branch has increasingly come to control Americans through its own administrative rules and adjudication, thus raising disturbing questions about the effect of this sort of state power on American government and society.

With Is Administrative Law Unlawful?, Philip Hamburger answers this question in the affirmative, offering a revisionist account of administrative law. Rather than accepting it as a novel power necessitated by modern society, he locates its origins in the medieval and early modern English tradition of royal prerogative. Then he traces resistance to administrative law from the Middle Ages to the present. Medieval parliaments periodically tried to confine the Crown to governing through regular law, but the most effective response was the seventeenth-century development of English constitutional law, which concluded that the government could rule only through the law of the land and the courts, not through administrative edicts. Although the US Constitution pursued this conclusion even more vigorously, administrative power reemerged in the Progressive and New Deal Eras. Since then, Hamburger argues, administrative law has returned American government and society to precisely the sort of consolidated or absolute power that the US Constitution—and constitutions in general—were designed to prevent.

With a clear yet many-layered argument that draws on history, law, and legal thought, Is Administrative Law Unlawful? reveals administrative law to be not a benign, natural outgrowth of contemporary government but a pernicious—and profoundly unlawful—return to dangerous pre-constitutional absolutism."

> How do you reconcile that with many people that attempted suicide due to some illness like depression

I believe that depression should be treated seriously as a mental illness. But treat the depression, and not the choices made while depressed (i.e. suicidal ideation, suicide attempts), which are symptoms of depression. It's not like we treat so seriously any of the other choices made while depressed like over/under-eating, alcoholism, impulsive purchases, etc.

> So it's used as a argument against having easy to access firearms

Personally I believe in restricting access to firearms because they are usually used to kill other people. If someone wants to use their gun to take their own life, rather than take their guns away, I'd like to spare them and their family the mess, and give them a way to die peacefully and quietly in a supine position.

You say benchmarks (plural) but I see just one here, and this benchmark does not add up in my experiences. But let's take L3 8b in fp16 (the first graph) which shows the performance to be comparable on throughput (vLLM faster on TTFT across the board).

On the 4bit L3 70b test, they are using AWQ. GPTQ with Marlin kernels (which now gets repacked on the fly in vLLM) is much faster in our tests, and has much better optimizations amongst vLLM contributors.

So yeah, this is sample size of n=1, as are my own tests. But my experiences have been much closer to the L3 8b fp16 charts, so I'm going to presume the bigger delta comes down to that.

EDIT: here is one of our own recent internal tests where we observed Marlin performing 25-30% better than AWQ in vLLM - https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:1400/format:webp/1*F9i...

In general, any performance based metrics tracking tool, even something as innocent as Linear, can be used to back-stab employees.

This is a problem to fix with culture, not necessarily "better" software tools. The nature of HR is to prioritize employees that are giving more value to the bottom line even if those employees are wreaking havoc on others. Which obviously indicates how short-sighted HR tools / people always are.

If you feel strongly about this, establish clear boundaries on your team or talk to the founders (NOT HR). Growing employees is the most powerful metric long term, especially if you can trust them and they like working with you and their team.

"steak has many negative health effects."

Many? There are some, but I wouldn't say many if consumed in moderation, and maybe depending on what animal (elk, deer, vs cow) and how it was raised (grass fed). Most of the negatives are associated with red meat are focusing on saturated fat or on processed red meat. The other type of study is usually looking at groups who have other potential lifestyle factors that might affect the other issues (like diabetes).

The problem is that even when incorrect, typically someone intended the correct information to on a website.

Where LLMs are just an inference of related words.

So by your scenario, the LLM also picked up the incorrect answer on a website and included it into its inference.

It isn't FUD. This is something the system operators and utilities are taking very seriously and talk about daily.

We have decarbonized a lot in the US already, but we still have a long ways to go. A future of just solar, wind, and storage is still a very long ways off. We'd need a lot of load that is responsive to price and we're just not there yet. That's unattractive politically. People are fine with renewables until all those fixed costs creep into their bills and they're told that they have to go to dynamic pricing to make you hyper conserve electricity during the times you want to use it the most.

Yes, we'll eventually get there, but I strongly believe that gas will still be a big player as a backstop/reserve...maybe with carbon capture technology which runs all out during times of renewable abundance to counter the carbon output of the gas. Will it be practical though?
