It’s good and useful. Some use cases in NLP have moved over to using LLMs, many use cases in NLP/vision are basically using pre trained models and adding some simple similarity search or simple classification on top of it. Then you have a bunch of deep learning and non-dl methods for forecasting, tabular data, search ranking etc.

Go, Rust, Zig, etc all support static typing and method/data bundling without any explicit language support for implementation inheritance (interface inheritance in general and especially when structural rather than nominal is not nearly as much of an issue and doesn't create strict tree hierarchies).

Rust has support for variance and subtupint so perhaps it's not as pure of an example, but it's pretty heavily restricted.

Zig's support for method/data bundling being used for "objects" isn't even first class so I wouldn't call it OO (object-oriented) so much as object-orientation-capable with less fuss than if one wanted to build their own objects system in C.

I feel bad for all the kids whose parents think giving them a tablet or smart phone is the same as having a real computer.

1 - (Application) System exist in the real world, not software. Software exists in machines.

2 - Computing is used to solve real world problem.

3 - "In building software we inevitably invent or use abstractions to represent or effect real world things." Here is the problem where we part company.

4 - Abstractions that inform computing systems are indeed useful.

self disclosure: I've reached 'architectural orbit' numerous times in my career. 30 years later, I am sharing a subtle point. Effective software models cutout attributes of real world elements of the problem domain. All attempt to "model the world" end in tears.
> What does it take to convince people to take risks like this seriously?

For it to be a bigger risk than other risks actively being worked on.

Even a group of millions can only work on so many things at once. The Lower Midwest and the Dixie region of this country have: Gun violence, Racist violence, Tornadoes, some have hurricanes, military service as a key means of social uplift, systemic poverty, low health care rates, lower life expectancy, dubious educational outcomes.

All of those kill people every year. When was the last earthquake fatality in the Nidwest? Killer bees kill something like a person per decade, far more than earthquakes (in the discussed regions), and no one thinks those are serious problem.
This is great - Though I am confused on two things:

1. How is it possible that GPT-4o mini outperforms 3.5 turbo but 3.5 turbo is more expensive? Like why would someone use a worse model and pay more?

2. Why is the GPT4o vision and GPT4o-mini vision cost the same?
> Another issue is that in your mid 30's almost everyone has settled down and started having kids and only really prefer socializing with other people who have settled down and have kids, leaving you in an awkward place.

To add a bit of a different perspective to this, as a parent myself, most of our friend groups are actually child-less and have no plans to have children. I've found it works quite well. They are cool with or genuinely excited to hang out with the kids, and this affords them a way without the full obligation of parenthood. The friend relationship evolves when you have kids, but with the right kinds of people and interest, it evolves in a great way I feel.

Of course I'm just part of one family, which is a small sample size. So perhaps you're onto the real trend. But I do feel it important to say that there's room in this world for folks with or without kids. It doesn't have to be mutually exclusive!
The idea of adding hydrogel to your soil isn't entirely new (you might be able to get some at your local garden supplier), what they are suggesting seems to be about the mechanism - absorb moisture during the night, release during a dry day. Which sounds good, but I wonder how well that works once you have bigger plants and more than 10g of shallow soil per plant.

It's the difference between a descriptive name for a region and the name of a sovereign country. This is particularly relevant given the repeated attempts to conquer it and make it no longer a sovereign country.
What do you mean "wants to destroy itself"? Why does it "turn self-destructive"?

The best interpretation I can make is an allusion to how we're designed to be fundamentally unmaintainable (think Twitch's codebase), so living is synonymous with eventual ruin.

Fun biofatalistic fact: some evidence alleges that genes regulate our IQ to keep it within a narrow range, keeping from going too low or too high. :D

So, maybe, by just disabling some regulator gene somewhere, we could all be von Neumanns! But the true fix for all this is to rewrite the genome in Rust.

I've been to Moldova a couple of times and after watching the video I'd like to offer my take on it.

Some parts are really on-point - especially the wall of thieves - and I understand it's hard to present an objective perspective of the country after one visit and without having a more thorough deep-dive into its past 30 years (and don't get me wrong, I don't expect tourists to do that for their travel destinations) - but take the video with a (big) grain of salt.

While I understand it's not the most "visit-able" country in the world, the people I've met have been nothing but wonderful and I've developed a deep respect for them, especially in light of all the challenges they've faced.

My 2 cents: If you don't feel confident enough to visit Moldova yet, maybe try their wines, they're not too shabby (this is not an alcohol commercial, please drink responsibly).

I live in an area where houses didn't get addresses unless they were inside a city. The fire services developed an addressing scheme that encoded location and used that. Eventually the postal service adopted it as official in the 1960s [1].

I'm surprised that this hasn't already happened in Carmel (not that they would use the same system, just that the fire department didn't already have an unofficial numbering system).

There was a generation of iPads that would have their displays black out. People would come to me at the fruit stand, I would take their iPad into the back room, and drop it from about a foot off a table, screen facing up. 9/10 it would fix itself.

Am I the only one who just doesn't really want new friends?

I have a wife and two kids, and all my social energy goes into them. What I really want is more alone time for my hobbies.

When I was single, I had plenty of time by myself for doing stuff I wanted, so I had time for friends. Now that I am married with kids, I can't imagine how I would have time for friends.

> Even if the six-pack friend still lived in Brooklyn, I had a hunch that now that she has a toddler, her visits wouldn’t be as frequent or as spontaneous as they had been a decade ago.

Well no shit. How can you be spontaneous when you are responsible for another human being 24/7? As someone with a family, I can't just make choices for myself anymore... everything I do affects other people, so I have to coordinate with my wife and kids on who is doing what when. If someone just drops by, but I need to take my kid to her soccer practice, I can't just drop what I am doing.

Honestly, that kind of friendship just doesn't seem realistic or desirable anymore.

>It’s because we learned to pre-empt coordinated well organized attacks using intelligence, and we hardened physical security at the cockpit door (I’m guessing mostly the latter).

You're forgetting the REAL reason airplanes are basically not hijacked anymore: Flight 93.

It used to be, if you threatened to blow up an airplane, the passengers would largely choose not to confront them, because the SOP of hijacking was to land somewhere and negotiate. Indeed this desire to not rock the boat actually turned one hijacking by drunk teens into a catastrophe when the hijackers were too stupid to understand that a plane couldn't just fly to Australia without picking up more fuel, Ethiopian Airlines Flight 961.

9/11 changed that risk calculus for passengers. Now everybody knows what hijackers COULD do, and are willing to endure some danger to prevent that, to the point we've kind of overcorrected and people are yelling at and harassing fellow passengers for non-issues.

The point is that in English, adding the definite article makes it sound like a region rather than a country: "the mountains", "the veldt", "the border land".

I went from the service industry where I met new people literally every single night and got to work with my closest friends (and frenemies) every shift to tech, and I really miss it as much as I'd never go back.

I'ved lived in 10 major US cities, always places where I don't know anyone initially. I just go do my own thing and enjoy my hobbies, shows, sports, etc around the city and often I meet people but I'm much more limited now since I can't stay out until 3am running to 5 different places or events every night. If I see someone I know who might be interested in something I'm doing, I mention it and just tell them drop by if they want to check it out, I'll be there.

I actually meet far, far more people and typically have a much more fun time when I go out alone then when I spend hours with the same person/people in our own world. Sometimes they even become a drag on my night and I break off and go do something else.

Author appears to be a woman, though. As a former bartender, night-to-night I'd see far, far more men making friends with other new men than women befriending new women. And that definitely might put a wrench into attending a lot of the stuff I do (raves, metal shows, clubs, kink nights, etc) alone, safety speaking.

The amount of people who can't bring themselves to go do things alone is really, really strange to me, but I'm also a military brat and constantly moved/changed schools so I just dive into anxiety inducing situations as much as I can.

> In fact, she’d gotten so close to this group that she and Barbara, seventy-four, were writing a romance novel together. None of what she was describing appealed to me at all. I told her I would never do that, and she shrugged as if to say, “Maybe that’s why you don’t have any friends.”

This line stands out to me. I've had a lot of friends like this where they're not willing to do anything that I like to do that they don't or might not like. I get if you don't want to spend $250 on a concert ticket because you don't love the artist but I'm willing to go to just about any show/concert if its a reasonable price to my expectation/desire level. I've gone to a ton of free-$40 shows of artists I had never heard of before because a friend invited me. Even if I don't love the music I'm still enjoying my time with friends and that can't be a bad time. I don't enjoy scrabble but I'll go act like I enjoy it for an hour if theres beer.

I used to bartend at dive bars and there's a specific type of contrarian clientele that would always walk in, typically dragged by friends out of an Uber Black Suburban and pretty much audibly gasp "Ugh, you chose a dive bar?" and just generally act miserable to be there. Dude, it's a dive bar. Everyone can have fun at a dive bar. Pick your music and grab a beer and enjoy the time you get to spend with your friends.
Do those majority of software engineer jobs never need to traverse a directory or process a complicated multi-layered JSON object?
Sure, maybe that was the assignment. But I think overanalyzing your attempts at making friends will get in the way of you making friends. To me it reads as if the author was beginning to drive herself mad by repeatedly reminding herself of each of the tiny mistakes she had made. I don't think that's going to help you make friends.

I've been in SEA and well as Central America. It does open your eyes a lot on how broken the western system is, and makes you appreciate what you have, more.

Predictability with a particular set of prompts and processes. Over time, you'd migrate to the lower cost, higher performing model, as long as it can be at least as consistent as the higher cost model. People have built really weirdly intricate chains of dependency on things that particular models are good at, and sometimes 3.5 turbo can accomplish a task dependably where other models might refuse, or have too wide a variance to be relied on.

Over time, reliability and predictability will be much less an issue.

For me, software and tech that is for someone, exists to work for people, who are end users.

End users and customers don't exist to serve at the leisure and pleasure of software and it's creators.

Making people work harder than they need to operate software is selfish.

DevOps and DevEx is important, but if no one uses it with those being great, the Customer and their experience are often lost and never gained.

Learning to model something flexible enough for absorbing and quickly implementing the early customer feedback that is relevant is critical to boring things like retention.

Good catch: the calculators here are bizarre. For GPT-4o, a 512x512 image uses 170 tile tokens. For GPT-4o mini, a 512x512 image uses 5,667 tile tokens. How does that even work in the context of a ViT? The patches and its image encoder should be the same size/output.

Since the base token counts increase proportionally (which makes even less sense) I have a hunch there's a JavaScript bug instead.

And have a car. Be ready to drive yourself should the trains/power be cut. If you are adverse to driving, keep enough food/water/shoes on hand for a multi-day walk should that be necessary.
One bit of feedback after submitting a track: The list of genres to select from is too course-grained IMHO. There's a gazillion sub-genres of electronic dance music for example, but "Electronic" was as close as I could get. Genres like metal have the same issue. It doesn't matter so much now given the current UX, but if you consider others' suggestions on adding genre/sub-genre specific lists (which I agree with 100%), then I think you'll want to allow people to get as fine-grained as they want to (sub-genre lists could all bubble up to a parent genre list, and all of the steps in between). Submit Hub does this very well, if you're looking for examples/inspiration.
