> Taking care of toddlers is ostensibly a better use of the one life you get.

sounds like an extremely subjective assertion. Unless you have a well-off partner/family, it's possible and maybe not even uncommon to be very miserable taking care of toddlers and maxing out around minimum wage for life.
When companies can't tell you what they believe you did wrong, and point to a vague list of things it could have been, they fail.
As a vaccine refusenik I felt a great sense of relief when, after choosing not to have the jab, I realised I had made the correct decison.

At nearly 70 years old I have had a life full of experience that told me something was serverely wrong with the roll out of the jab.

The experimental drug, which is not a vaccine, meerly reduces the symptoms of so called covid. Stop calling it a vaccine!

I have had all my childhood vaccines and have been protected from the entire range of diseases.

I have also been a methadone dispenser, and drug worker working in detox wards in the national health service for 15 years and had my Hep "B" vaccine to protect me from needle stick injury.

Now! the Hep "b" vaccines work like this: You have an injection once a month for three months. during this period you have blood tests to check the development of anti-bodies.

After the three month period I had all the Anti-bodies needed to protect me from Hep "B".

Now that is a proper vaccine!

whereas you do not develop anti-bodies after you have the jab, you have to have an annual top up to protect you from the symptoms of flu.

The COVID JAB IS NOT A VACCINE!!!!

People seem to have forgotten that life is about making informed choices and being autonomous.

We are not conspiracy therorists, refuseniks or anti-vaxers. We are ordinary people who made a choice not to have a jab.
How to Raise the world’s IQ
The disconnect seems to be that there is a social mechanism to both recognize self awareness and then select for it, the way there might be for other socially shared features, like beauty, for example.

Likewise if you consider the outcome differences between two people who differ in attractiveness versus differing in self awareness, then those with more of the latter trait seem more likely to succeed, even if they're completely isolated from society.

It could be that it won out as an adaptation from an evolutionary perspective because it has more than one category of benefit but to say that it evolved strictly for the social benefit does not seem serious.

I think most people learn the same way you describe. But people who are good at school are good at modeling school so that it looks like what you describe. And they go on and do the same thing with work.

I think if you do that it all becomes much easier. Interestingly I think this impacts people in their careers more than school even. People fight against so much stuff in their careers rather than seeing the more straightforward path toward their own success.
Reminds me of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Hieroglyph but a decade on, it's not had many breakout successes.
Covid was such an outlier event things were changing daily as they tried new things. I never understood why people got so upset over policies around Covid they were just figuring stuff out as new info came in. Folks expected people to have all the answers to everything but the scientific method is to try something test the results and confirm with further experiment no?
It may sound absurd, but that doesn't make it so. There are good reasons to believe that at least in many cases (some of them being complex decisions), the conscious thought process is either ineffective or counterproductive.

Obligatory reference to Peter Watts' Blindsight, as well.
I pretty much second this. You nailed most of the points that jumped to mind, especially the 'Copy to Clipboard' functionality.

I will add that I wasn't able to navigate to the about page on mobile; the nav should probably allow that.

Otherwise, it's excellent.
> The risk only comes in if gitlabknockoff was AWS, Azure, or GCP, which we're still learning what to do about.

Exactly! It really makes me wonder how GitLab thinks Datadog can help them defend against this risk. Then again, they're not open source - just open core.

>and all the projects and maintenance that come with them requires a lot of phone calls and getting people to show up.

That's not how this works.

You don't need much effort to "get the people show up": they'll do it because they need the money, and you have those.

Second, if you're rich, you have people managing the hiring and coordination of projects and maintenance, you don't even need to know how many people are in your overall staff.

A network of always on, always connected IP cameras with synchronized time and position is a perfect supplement to reconnaissance satellites.

Wheels and roads do the same thing as legs in several major use cases, only they do it better. Sane with jet engines and flapping wings. Same with loom vs. hand, and same with LLMs vs. people.

> LLMs do math by trying to match an answer to a prompt. Mathematica does better than that.

Category error. Pencil and paper or theorem prover are better at doing complex math than snap judgment of an expert, but an expert using those tools according to their judgement is the best. LLMs compete with snap judgement, not heavily algorithmic tasks.

Still, it's a somewhat pointless discussion, because the premise behind your argument is that LLMs aren't a big breakthrough, which is in disagreement with facts obvious to anyone who hasn't been living under a rock for the past year.
What is this? Is it a preprint or a peer-reviewed article? A blog?
You are correct. There is a need for that kind of work.

I wish there was a way to differentiate these different kinds of develops. Perhaps “integrations developer” vs “software engineer.”
We can't develop a universally coherent data set because what we understand as "truth" is so intensely contextual that we can't hope to cover the amount of context needed to make the things work how we want, not to mention the numerous social situations where writing factual statements would be awkward or disastrous.

Here are a few examples of statements that are not "factual" in the sense of being derivable from a universally coherent data set, and that nevertheless we would expect a useful intelligence to be able to generate:

"There is a region called Hobbiton where someone named Frodo Baggins lives."

"We'd like to announce that Mr. Ousted is transitioning from his role as CEO to an advisory position while he looks for a new challenge. We are grateful to Mr. Ousted for his contributions and will be sad to see him go."

"The earth is round."

"Nebraska is flat."
just a pedantic detail, strings are passed in javascript by reference, they are just immutable
No, not at all.

Given that there was no new security vulnerability, it would have been completely reasonable to ask for a comment at the same time as hitting publish and note that they’d been asked for a comment and as of that time had not responded. Just as long as the post is updated if they do respond.

“Real” news sources do this all the time. There’s a difference between asking for a comment on an issue and responsible disclosure of a previously new vulnerability.
Considering people take a leak in the shower and stuck excrement can get lose during showering I would argue gray water has various shades of gray up to black.
If I understand correctly this tool focuses on ability to create easily extractors from documents.
I'm wondering who is your target audience?
If it's a company operations (accounting, procurement, etc),you missed it, they want to setup once then use it and access documents.
If it's for developers to quickly build extractors for different company ops, then I'm missing API, scoring, integrations.
It seems to matter to those deciding where to put their early-stage venture capital. Granted, that's not why most people are going to college, but it's too simple to say that it isn't used as signal.
Facts to back what up, exactly?

GP said two statements: 1) the Earth revolves around the Sun and 2) Truth > Conformism

You are asking to facts about that?
I LOL’ed at “because I don't use react angles or something”
Out of the 200 or so people I interviewed where I posed this question, only one went with Multimap.

You’re hired. :)

Kidding aside, going with a map of string lists as a first iteration of a solution for this is perfectly fine. The followup is to optimized the algo for space and time, and there are intuitive steps if you implement it as a map of lists.
What if the cause is the other way around? What if people who are happy are more likely to earn more? I mean, can you imagine working for someone who is gloomy and depressed?
I’m somewhat sceptical about this result, and the way it’s presented. Plotting income on a log scale obscures the fundamental point here, which is that each additional dollar matters less and less as you have more and more. And even if the line does keep going up against log income, this might be a US-specific thing.
Someone is cutting onions
That's true, but when we find out that the "trusted scientist" was pushing his opinion as "scientific fact" when he knew otherwise, it's really hard to rebuild trust.

Like Fauci with the masks. He knew he was wrong.

I'm old enough to remember when the government confidently asserted that butter was bad, eat margarine instead. I ate margarine for decades. Then it turned out the hydrogenated oil is more or less poison. Back to butter for me. We were told eggs were bad, meat was bad, grain is good. All wrong.
They're already on a better path with App Intents. Way more solid idea than having AI train how to click buttons on a UI that might change every now and then.
To offer a satirical analogy: "Lastly, I want to reassure investors and members of the press that we take these concerns very seriously: Hindenburg 2 will only contain only normal and unreactive hydrogen gas, and not the rare and unusual explosive kind, which is merely a temporary hurdle in this highly dynamic and growing field."

Edit: It retrospect, perhaps a better analogy would involve gasoline, as its explosive nature is what's being actively being exploited in normal use.

H1B should not exist in an overly saturated job market like this one. Most H1B don't do anything so specific that the company truly couldn't find someone in the US to replace them. Most of them are writing Web Services. Not creating the next AI, Distributed Ledger, etc.
The article doesn't say that it is an issue with the product itself though. It explains very well than infact it's the isolation of the AI training models.

> The root cause of these issues was the ability for attackers to run malicious AI models and training procedures, which are essentially code

It's being researched and investigated, to my understanding, due to the prevalence of AI products and the need to be mindful of the infrastructure.
Which specific COVID vaccine (of the many variations) do you consider to be "not a vaccine" ?

FWiW the Pfizer BioNTech (BNT162b2) COVID-19 vaccine causes anti-bodies to form: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-022-28527-x as do pretty much all the others.

Which specific ones don't?
I don't know if it qualifies as a shift, significant or otherwise, because I don't know how it was before. But a quick internet search for "biden trump voters education level" brought forth a few reports by news sites and research outfits.

According to Ipsos and Reuters about a third of Trump voters have a college degree or better. Pew has an more detailed analysis of voters for the 2016. 2018, and 2020 elections here [1], including education, which seems to confirm this.

> Australia is a great deal smaller in both population and wealth and utterly lacks any significant skill set in nuclear power generation and engineering, a handful of Australian nuclear scientists aside.

And so wouldn't it be better to put a patch on these lacks? China also had no nuclear competence, now it speaks for itself. Same stuff for the automobile market.

These shortcomings are not a problem, but an opportunity to build an industry. Otherwise with the same mentality there would be no progress.

> This isn't a nuclear plan, it's a plan to build more coal power station "in the meantime" and hope that one day it'll be economical in Australia to buy some "off the shelf" set and forget SMR magical thinking nuclear tech.

Which is equivalent to thinking you can install solar, wind and batteries all in one day. Germany has been investing for decades, hoping to remove coal-fired power plants. But so far, it hasn't succeeded.

At least, with nuclear power, you know that once you build the plant, you're sure you're going to have that energy, for now it's whishful think the rest.

> As a matter of pragmatic action, in the immediate short term, in an Austraian context, it makes better economic sense to put money now into rapid expansion of renewables and storage

And why wouldn't it be possible to do both? The most pragmatic solution would be to diversify.
My experience with an AMD iGPU on Linux was so bad that my next laptop will be Intel. Horrible instability to the point where I could reliably crash my machine by using Google Maps for a few minutes, on both Chrome and Firefox.

I have to say "Datadog" isn't exactly as scary as "Microsoft" was, back when it bought GitHub.

Ok, they didn't kill the open source community which is what we feared at the time (because they found a way to make more money from it), but I'm still more skeptical of Microsoft essentially controlling the world's open source software than Datadog buying an open core company.

But with Microsoft now painting everything with its "AI" brush, aren't you, as open source maintainers, concerned about keeping the world's FOSS on a proprietary platform?
Technically, I am a CEO, yes. I accept that I do sound arrogant to you, since ANYONE sounds arrogant if he is confident in his hard-earned knowledge of how to run a business and is being heard by... who? some random kid on the internet who lacks the self-awareness to realize that he arrogantly and ignorantly dismissed someone else's experience without having any particular relevant experience of his own.

I have friends who self-publish to KDP, and it seems that around 103% of indie authors hate KDP.

As I understand it, you can think of Rabbit's "stack" as a prompt to a standard llm (I think they just used openAI but I could be wrong) to understand what you want, and then a bunch of (brittle) selenium scripts to go call various websites to do the thing.

The llm is there to understand that you've said "what's the weather?" not, say "call me an uber", and then to collate the responses from potentially several calls to websites and produce a natural language response.

There is a layer of upsell/hustle/scam[1] on top of that where they said they had a "large action model" which learned your preferences and understood how all these websites worked sematically so the actions would be robust etc and a bunch of other stuff which turned out not to be true.

[1] depending on your point of view. I would encourage people to watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPOHf20slZg and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLvFc_24vSM and do whatever personal research and make their own minds up
Naturally I can tell you only what my own expectations are as an interviewer, and I can only guess what other people might expect; but something I can share as a fact is that simply doing the work presented to me, using the skills acquired naturally through the course of my career, with no pretending or practice questions or memorization involved, got me a job at two of those tech giants.

That was many years ago; perhaps things have changed. All I know is that the picture of tech interviewing I see so commonly complained about does not match my experience.

> Thank you, but by that argument, I could that for any diagramming / whiteboarding tool.

In theory, sure, but the majority of diagramming/whiteboarding tools are not easily manipulated via code/an API. Structurizr is a modelling tool, and the model can be authored by a number of methods ... manual authoring, reverse-engineering, or a hybrid of the two.

> The point is having a tool that reduces work for me and does these things automatically.

I do hope that we will see some tooling that can do these things automatically, but we're not there yet ... fully-automatic (as opposed to semi-automatic) comes with some serious trade-offs.

Linden Lab, the people behind Second Life, spun off their money system as a startup, called TiliaPay.[1] Tilia obtained money transfer licenses, linked up with JPMorgan Chase Payments, and offered a system where you could process a 2 cent transaction with acceptable operating costs. Unlike most "game points" programs, users can trade with each other and cash out in dollars. That's why they had to become a regulated financial operation.

It never took off. It does work, but Second Life and, to some extent, VRChat are the only real customers.

This is why expert defense witnesses are important, but usually only the prosecution (government) has the budget for an expert, or a competent expert. In the USA the courts are supposed to provide an expert for the defense upon request, but this rarely happens, or when it does, the budget is so small that nobody competent can be found.
