It's not perfect but those Naan flatbreads available in many US markets plus a pizza stone at 500 degrees F work fine for the occasional homemade pizza if I don't want to get takeout from one of a couple of local pizzarias. One of which is more convenient and the other is brick-over/better.
Awesome share! Thank you.
There are definitely similarities, and I love Simon's work.
I guess the extra features are some sophisticated UX (requesting the user to fill out "placeholders" in the response, ability to revise the prompt), the "ask" command and the "search" command.
Will definitely give this a spin.
How do you undo, for example, an HTTP request?
I don't want another browser. FF does exactly what I need, and websites are pretty much exactly what they were a decade ago feature-wise. I just need security updates. "Feature updates" these days are almost always unnecessary bloat.

I guess it's generic vegetable oil as opposed to Canola oil or Peanut oil? I'd actually suspect that a mindset of buy whatever oil is cheapest from Sysco would pursue cheapness in other areas as well including kitchen supervision/skills.
An inner city grade school in Detroit gets 16,500+ per child a regular child in Michigan gets 9,500. Palo Alto spends 25,143 per child. New York spends $29,873 per child. The states that spend the least Utah, Idaho are around 9,000.

Part of the cost is localized like salary, utilities costs.

Detroit isn't necessarily being under funded compared to Palo suburb when you normalize regional cost differences. It does affect the quality of teachers one can attract but so does the location in general. Bumping up Detroit to Palo Alto's spending wouldn't have much effect on the education for the average student.

Palo Alto is home to many immigrant from many places who self select and place education as extremely important for the next generation. For the average Detroit kid education isn't cherished and valued over everything else. Until you can equalize those believes things won't change. You won't be able to buy a higher educational rate by painting the walls twice as fast or by hiring more educational assistants.
Terrible for the country’s reputation as a startup hub.
> You won't achieve wok hei on your stove

This is simple untrue. There is many, many YouTube videos explaining how to achieve wok hei (鑊氣) at home with a non-commercial gas-fired stove and a cheap wok.

For any readers unfamiliar with the stir frying technique called wok hei, read more here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wok#Cooking
Are there any companies that have no estimation no pointing etc just figure out what needs to be implemented and implement it type situation?
It makes sense that allowing for things many consider to be incorrect or impossible, like through removing valence restrictions, improves prediction quality. As an example, pentavalent carbon is very much real, and so disallowing it means whatever chemical system is learned by the model is less aligned with reality. It doesn't matter if pentavalent carbon is extremely conditional to specific circumstances, many novel and interesting molecules are.
1) Shakespeare didn’t use literary language. His works were written in the common parlance of the day.

2) It’s actually easier to read than to watch live. We’ve heard all the arguments by now. “Go see it live”, “You need to see it with better actors”, “It makes more sense when the accents are British”. All made up, none of it is true.

3) “Early Modern English” is “Modern” only relative to “Middle” and “Old” English. It isn’t modern in any normative sense. It’s just a linguistic classification, not to be taken literally in casual parlance.

Look, I have a degree in English literature. I’ve read the canon. I’ve read all the major works of Shakespeare. I’ve seen many of the plays live.

It’s difficult to read. Because he’s writing in a language that we don’t speak.

If I see a play live, I have to read it beforehand in order to refresh my memory. If I haven’t read it recently, I have no clue what the actors are saying.

John Mcwhorter, a linguist Phd and a lover of Shakespeare agrees with me.

The truth is that understanding Shakespeare is hard because he doesn’t write in anything that would be considered English.

Perhaps English literature majors should still be forced to learn the original plays.

But for high school students in Ohio, can we please just translate the plays into something they understand? Can we give up the bit and stop pretending like these 16 year olds have the slightest clue what on earth is happening in those plays?
There was a part of the article that discussed that you create tasks, not stories.

You can group the tasks into stories or milestones or iterations or epics.

In general, he’s saying you should always keep breaking down a task until it’s a 1, since 1s are easy to estimate.

The key part that may be missed is the “mob programming” or “pair programming” aspect where all the engineers on a team sit together and work through a story or milestones or epic to come up with a list one 1 point tasks.

Obviously this still can’t be done, so the only effective end solution is maximum pair/mob programming unless all tasks in an iteration are accounted for and broken down into easily understandable and estimable bits of work.

There is at least some truth to the notion that if you use mob programming, estimating becomes pointless.

it's falling apart unfortunately. I use FF daily but there are already websites that are crippled, so more and more have to fire up Chrome just to get around that. Heck, even PG&E website barfs up the "Your browser is unsupported" when I try to pay my utilities bill. Say what you want about PG&E, but unfortunately the majority of the world will not spend a second waiting for FF to get their stuff together, and I don't want to get locked out of my utility bill either....

It would be nice if you could account for two devices instead of one. I typically use a Windows desktop at home and a Macbook when I'm outside. Also, I noticed the plan widget only says 1 MacOS device while the text under the pre-order button says Windows 10+ is supported — not sure if that means there is windows support or not.
> "I don't spent it on artificially generated responses"

This is no more artificial or disrespectful than a person looking across the room, catching your eye, and giving you a nod and a thumbs-up.

> "I do view it as disrespectful (more precisely, lacking discretion) that the sender decided to waste my time by making me look at and hit delete on their message."

If they'd replied with a full email saying "gotcha" or "understood" or "like it" you'd have to waste your time looking at it and hitting delete. (In Microsoft ecosystem, this doesn't happen, reactions appear on the original email like Github reactions appear on comments in issues - it's nice).
Hey, this is a great post. I have read similar complaints about Ooni pizza ovens, where it is very difficult to achieve the 900F temp and impossible in the front. Great point about 5 mins vs 1 min.

Can you share: Do you think normie home cooks can taste the difference between a 5min and 1min pizza? I am unsure. For example, is the 5min pizza much drier? (I assume no.)
Optimized GraphQL data fetching strategies
> Calibrated burndown of story points is pretty much the only basis on which forecasting and management of expectations can be done in an agile process.

Do you mean in an Agile process?

Sorry I have a visceral reaction to this, having seen teams try to accomplish large things by breaking them down into story-level tasks and then sum up the estimates, and then watch the slow motion train wreck as gaps emerge, requirements evolve, learnings accumulate, and everyone throws their hands in the air and points to the long paper trail of tickets that prove they did their job.

Scrum and story points are a reasonable way to drive local incremental improvements when you have no greater ambitions than local optimizations of an established system, but they have a low ceiling for achieving anything ambitious in a large system. At best you'll get solid utilization of engineering resources when you have a steady backlog of small requests, at worst you'll redirect engineers' attention off of the essential details that make or break difficult projects towards administrative overhead and ticket shuffling. I understand why this might be the way to go in a low trust environment, but it's really no way to live for an experienced and talented cross-functional team.

I think that's for the small players though as this should be pretty slow, expensive and have the risk of the "employees" stealing the data (the business they are in is practically stealing so I don't think they have high morals).
The real question is “how to get shit done”?

Scrum, agile, safe, etc.. are ways to get shit done that all target the measurement.

Estimations are that measurement.

The nugget from this article that seems to missed by many is the subtle but strong advocacy for XP style Mob/Pair programming.
And it's probably not reasonable that the average person who gets McDonalds fries (which are indeed good and better than most, if not all, of the "fast casual" joints) will do those things. Not that frozen supermarket fries in a deep fryer are an especially heavy lift and they're mostly good enough (with reasonably fresh oil) for hamburger and fries.

Don't agree. Blinkit sells almost everything. Haven't found another service similar to it. Same for licious, it's definitely not a "food delivery company".

Thanks for saying the quiet part out loud here -- everyone wants to believe in education improvement but there's a harsh reality of the industry that is pretty unpleasant to confront.

I think the only hope would be to run a pilot and show such an improvement in student testing levels that it would be fast-tracked or mandated for approval.

I think everyone will have a different definition. In my opinion the "Role Playing" element is the ability for the game player to make deliberate choices which alter the character progression.

It can seem somewhat arbitrary. But to me a game like Diablo, Cyberpunk or Deus Ex where you are given a choice (to allocate skill points or similar) which changes the performance/abilities of the character makes its "roleplaying".

On the other hand something like Zelda or Metal Gear Solid the game play tended to change more based around obtaining certain items or reaching a certain stage of game rather than any decision based character progression

Something like Bioshock blurs the line as you make choices about which skills to obtain which alters the gameplay.

What was the crime being prosecuted?
I feel that Byju's focused on the wrong part of the chain. They identified a real problem: the education system in India is inadequate in many way at many levels. Byju's bypassed all the official channels and positioned their products as add-ons.

You had to attend school, do all the assignments as usual, and also complete Byju's course work in parallel. Same if you wanted to prepare for MBA and were in college. Your college was still going on and 100% necessary. Byju's is just an additional burden.

Instead Byju's should have started a chain of primary and secondary/higher-secondary schools. These schools would have included any additional prep that normal schools omit. This way students would be able to focus on one thing, without any conflicting situations. And it would be much more efficient.

And if Byju's were able to make that work, it would have been a massive disruption in the country's education system. But we just got costly stupid tuition classes.
But what exactly is a "task"? It still seems like an arbitrary unit.
Great observations. I've been in the edu (coding school) space for over a decade and it tracks with my experience (though it seems you've tackled a lot more market segments than I have). I'm very bullish on AI + Education. If Karpathy's announcement doesn't track, what do you think might work instead?
Poor source site.

On the subject, see:

From 1840, Victorian prisons typically operated under the Separate System, which aimed to reform prisoners through silent solitary contemplation. Communication between prisoners was forbidden, with prisoners spending much of their time in separate cells. The isolation of the Separate System led to increased rates of mental illness among prisoners.

Academia has reproduced this result a fair bit: under interrogation it's very easy to convince people to admit to events happening which didn't. Eyewitness testimony is thus intensely unreliable - and psychologically as far as can be told, the act of remembering something makes the memory itself labile - i.e. you rewrite a memory as you recall it.

So rounds of intense questioning on the same subject infect any recollection of the experience someone has - amplifying or even adding events which didn't exist due to the focus of it.

And this has very real consequences - it was one of the driving forces of the satanic panic in in the 1980s[1] - for which people went to jail on the basis of "recovered memories".

I think if you have a clear and compelling vision, along with motivated people, story points, scrum, etc. can all work well. If you don't have that, then no process works. So, get the former and don't worry too much about the latter.

Even if an approach uses DME, depending on the aircraft or company operating procedures they still may not be using DME, because GPS is a valid substitute for DME in an approach and more convenient if you’re already otherwise using GPS RNAV.

In fact it’s quite common to shoot approaches that have DME specified fixes in an aircraft that doesn’t even have a DME transceiver.
Any comments or feedback would be greatly appreciated

I know it's just a throwaway line, but the bit about Cleopatra at the top feels in poor taste. It's completely inaccurate in that no one has ever attributed her death to a "mamba", and even the asp that some sources claim has been disputed. But even aside from that, it just feels weird that a human being's death has turned into a random reference you can make in a throwaway joke while advertising a product.

They're certainly not the first to use Cleopatra this way nor the most egregious, but there are plenty of other random mamba jokes that could have filled in there and both made more sense and been less crass.

Genkit for Go: Build scalable AI-powered apps in Go
Regarding Minsky: the most interesting thoughts I read about theories of a mind, are his books, namely: The Society of Mind and The Emotion Machine which should be more widely known.

More of Minsky's ideas on “Matter, Mind, and Models” are mentioned here: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/1981/12/14/a-i

And let's not forget Daniel Dennett: In “Consciousness Explained,” a 1991 best-seller, he described consciousness as something like the product of multiple, layered computer programs running on the hardware of the brain. [...]

I think you are right in that Minsky was missing some important details in the branches of the tree, particularly around cortical columns, but he was old when Hawkins and Numenta released their stuff.

In terms of the root idea of the mind being a huge number of concurrent agents, I think he was close to the bullseye and it very much aligns with what you wrote.

Hi, I'm one of the creators of infinity, and the article has mentioned about the sparse vector vs bm25. While the sparse vector performs well under some evaluations, it is obtained by training a model, which means that it can't fully represent all of the user's keywords/tokens, and those that don't appear in the training set, are truncated. So this is a very big impact for many enterprise vertical scenarios. And bm25 doesn't have such a limitation

In this example, example task sizes are assumed to be the same level of effort. That's not necessarily an easy thing to do, and sort of falls into the same problems that pointing out stories.

If your tasks aren't the same level of effort, then one task could take a week, and then next takes an hour. The author seems so sure, I'm almost sure I missed something, but unless you can reconcile how you can have 1 hour tasks and 1 week tasks and consider them the same, well... I'm just confused.
