One issue I've found with cultures that emphasize no jerks is that the pendulum can swing too far that way to the point where its difficult or impossible to provide critical feedback. Not to say that you need to be a jerk to have difficult conversations, they can and should be done with empathy.
It all boils down to name calling and not giving people time of the day it seems.
i would at least assume some relatedness from his post
To a point. Some jerks are just misunderstood and need a little TLC. Some people are just bastards, though. I don't get paid enough to be their therapist and "fix" them.
Apparently Tuesday beat this record.

Edit: I got that wrong. Sunday was the previous record holder.
The problem is that peer review is primarily focused on results. Peer review should be done up to but not including the results. Provide motivation, explain your methodology, explain how it will resolve issues in the literature, but don't say anything about your results. Papers should be conditionally accepted, subject to confirmation that the results you report are the results of the proposal that went through peer review.

We have several Alexa devices. We use them all the time and for a wide variety of purposes. By any rational, actual customer-connected metric, they are a wild success in this and similar homes.

This is an example of Amazon not actually letting the smartest people into the room. We do vast amounts of our shopping via Amazon, but that's through the app and website even when we manage the shopping lists/etc via Alexa. We're not going to do that directly through the robot. We're never going to do that directly through the robot. Anyone who proposed billions in R&D investments hanging on the delusion that we will do that through the robot, instead of paying attention to the things we are all actively actually doing every single day, should have already been moved along.

We don't need to shop like that.

We do need the hundred other things we do every day, and those are things Alexa currently does vastly better than the competition. The Prime stuff, the Kindle stuff, the dozen other Amazon-related things we do, are certainly further embedded into our lives by the fact of the Alexas.

Their real problem is the sudden closing of the gap, which is nearly certain to occur in the next year or two.

TLDR: "Amazon says you're using it wrong. Doesn't know how to count."

I'm an iPhone user since last year and I wasn't able to use it for more than a day. Hard to explain, but it really is terrible to someone who is used to have a big choice of very good keyboards. It's just too basic and doesn't ever type what I want to type.

The most important missing feature is multi language support - I frequently combine multiple languages in one sentence. Switching languages every time I need to say a word or two in the other one is tiring.

If you say "add Tide Pods" then it adds the most popular listing of Tide Pods, shipped and sold by Amazon to your cart. Which is how 98% of people buy stuff on Amazon already.

You may have to specify a quantity but if you're adding detergent, paper towels or whatever else popular, name brand item it's pretty straight forward.

Of course, we have to be careful not to villainize a neutral tech. Instead let's call it what it is: unchecked capitalism and monopolistic behaviors.

Capitalism seems to work ok for the common good until you remove all the protections. LLMs provide a defacto monopoly for the owner which must already be a near monopoly: they take vast resources to train; only a giant corp can afford to buy all the content and provision enough resources to train one.

LLM did not enshittify what's left of the internet, greed did it.

It would be nice if they had other employment arrangements. Like being a solo developer with oversight. It is still true that some projects do not need an entire team and could be handled alone. The smart jerk is not smart if they can't do a project alone.

One big advantage Claude artifacts have is that they maintain conversation context, versus when I am working with Cursor I have to basically repeat a bunch of information for each prompt, there is no continuity between requests for code edits.

If Cursor fixed that, the user experience would become a lot better.

According to the US court systems the robots.txt file is meaningless. If they respond with a 200 status code giving you the access then you can legally scrape it all you want. If they require that you log in then you have to follow the terms you agree to when creating an account. Public means public though, and if Reddit doesn't want to make the content private (put it behind a login) then we can scrape away.

Note that scraping, regardless of the level of permission, doesn't mean you can do anything you want with the content. Copyright still applies. But you can scrape it, and if your use falls under Fair Use or another caveat to the copyright laws then you can do ahead and do it without needing any permission from the authors.

Fully agree on the point about not shopping through Alexa. Basic questions are misinterpreted in sometimes hilarious ways.
This has not shown to be the case as we have seen with American artillery shell production. The companies are not yet ramping up, because they don't want the ground cut out from under them if the war ends early next year and congress decides to cut any funding.

Turns out having fickle, lazy, stupid, feckless politicians have the ability to destroy projects with the stroke of a pen on a whim after every election means nobody is willing to put up their own investment, and having a business sector that is largely run by shithead middle management types who have never worked a day in their lives that wasn't just balancing a spreadsheet are unwilling to do something because it doesn't promise a HIGH ENOUGH return on investment.

It can tell me the time when I'm wondering if I should just get up or have two hours left without me having to open my eyes and look for my glasses.

It can set a timer when I have my hands full with veggies and cooking utensils.

It can tell me what the weather will be later that day while I get dressed without me having to navigate my phone to the weather app.

Could I do without all that? Sure. But its usefulness is undeniable to me.

And it was cheap. Also, I consider my phone way more 1984-esque, as it knows and probably tracks my location, half my thoughts, half my conversations, lots of other habits, and could eavesdrop on me all the same.

thank you! i think also it addresses what i perceive to be the #1 criticism of LIP from others - that it creates a lot of "overnight experts" in a thing. so "wear your noobyness on your sleeve" is also "be honest about how new you are to a thing out of respect to your reader" - and if they know more than you, it prompts them to teach/guide rather than complain/dismiss.

Welcome to AI. I got into an argument with a junior dev about some coding best practices the other day and came to find he was using chatgpt as a source for his argument. It’s terrifying anyone takes anything an AI says as truth. Now I’m afraid to even ask my google home simple math or kitchen measurement questions.

Though Google still doesn't use .google for much of anything a decade after establishing it, because it's confusing for normal users.

I have used many open source notes taking apps. My goto used to be Zim Desktop Wiki [0] but its just a desktop app and the was no built in sync solution. On mobile I used Markor [1] which understood Zims syntax, as well as markdown.

Due to lack of mobile client and built in sync options I moved to Joplin [2]. Its markdown, cross platform, and i can sync with WebDav. People don't like that its SQLite based, but honestly worse com to worse your notes are an export away, or you can just open the database yourself. Im happy with it.

I always recommend Treesheets [3] though, excellent for brainstorming/rapid note taking.

Right now you don't even know who will publish you paper until all that is done. Your experiment might be try some promising molecule/drug in a petri dish, and see what happens, if the results are amazing you will get in a different journal than if the results are something happens but the control molecule/drug is better.
I've set a countdown timer and then asked it "how much time is left on the timer?" and it says "You have no timers set" then inside say 30s, the timer goes off. Has happened to me a half dozen times in the last 2 months (at different amounts of time left obviously). This was my primary use case of alexa and now I just use Siri on my phone when my phone is nearby. Siri isn't ideal as I find it hard sometimes to quickly see how much time is left on the timer. But at least it doesn't forget one is running.

> Usually people on the spectrum are not aware of their own behavior's effects on others

That sounds exaggerated at best. People on the spectrum might not be emotionally aware of their behaviours effect on others, but they're intellectually / logically aware of it.

> by their definition, a "smart jerk" is aware their behavior is obnoxious and aggressive.

Does intentionality change anything? Working with a "jerk" is a terrible experience whether the jerk consciously decides to be a jerk or he/she can't help it / can't tell.
huh, didnt even know that one was there! ty!
I agree that in an idealized way, this would be much better. But what do you do about going through all this process and ending up with a bad reviewer?* In those cases, how would you handle re-submitting to a different journal without looking like you're creating those artifacts after-the-fact to suit your outcome? Would the pre-submittals need to be handled by some third party?

* the current process still has a lot of luck in terms of getting assigned referees. Sometimes you just plain get a bad reviewer who just can't be bothered to read the submission carefully and is quick to reject it. I would hate to see a system that only allows for a single shot at publication
Not really, that thread showed only superficial knowledge and analysis, far from hitting the nail on the head, for anyone used to assembly/reverse engineering. Then goes on to make provably wrong assumptions and comments. There is actually a null check (2 even!) just before trying the memory access. The root cause is likely trying to access an address that's coming from some uninitialized or wrongly initialized or non-deterministically initialized array.

What it did well was explaining the basics nicely for a wide audience who knows nothing about a crash dump or invalid memory access, which I guess made the post popular. Good enough for a general public explanation, but doesn't pass the bar for an actual technical one to any useful degree.

Paying 60 million to every site you want to index is also a bad precedent to set. Why can Reddit get paid and XYZ can't?
Its pretty brutal here in the US.

Tons of fake job postings, bad actors, and real opportunities are not differentiable from the fake. I've easily submitted several 1000's of CVs over the past two years and only gotten a handful of callbacks, this with 10 years of experience in IT Operations; I've seen a lot of entry level people giving up and retraining into other professions; HVAC and other trades. I've seriously considered it myself.

You have to go where the jobs are available, if there are no jobs there are no jobs; doesn't matter what they claim in the reports if there are no positions actually hiring.

Currently, there is overall less than a 0.01% rate of conversion to phone interview. Many of the posting platforms also do not remove known bad actors. PatternedAI being a very prominent one on LinkedIn (where they simply collect your information and never have a position, recycling their postings every 3 months). There are quite a lot of companies like this.

If anyone can predict the future for 100 years, they sure are not writing about it.
Costco is the biggest name I can think of devoted to that model. They're very aggressive about keeping to a short list of high-quality products in each possible subcategory, even for online sales.
Because the claim is that they're monopolizing data they own contractually, when they're offering it as a service to other businesses too. Say what you want about Twitter's death spiral, but their $100,000/month API is an equal-opportunity offering.

Is it shitty, exploitative, barrel-scraping nonsense that has no place in the industry? Sure, another bump on the proverbial log. Is it monopolistic? No, it's cynically hegemonic.
The core issue is that Amazon envisioned Alexa as a product that would help it increase sales. Smart home features were always an afterthought. How convenient would it be if people could shout "Alexa order me Tide Pods" from wherever they were in their home and the order got magically processed? That demo definitely got applause from a boardroom full of execs.

The problem is that consumers don't behave like that. This is also why Amazon's Dash buttons failed. I always want to see a page with the product details and price before I click "buy". Reducing the number of clicks is not going to make me change my decision and suddenly order more things.

If they want to salvage Alexa, they need to forget shopping and start doubling down on the smart home and assistant experience. The tech is still pretty much where it was in 2014. Alexa can set timers and tell me the weather, and...that's basically it. Make it a value add in my life and I wouldn't mind paying a subscription fee for it.

What about AV definition update for 0day swimming in the tubes right now?
I don't see how that's possible. I decided to give GPT-4o a second chance after reaching my daily use on Sonnet 3.5, after 10 prompts GTP-4o failed to give me what Claude did in a single prompt (game-related programming). And with fragments and projects on top of that, the UX is miles ahead of anything OpenAI offers right now.
I like Claude 3.5 Sonnet, but despite paying for a plan, I run out of tokens after about 10 minutes. Text only, I'm typing everything in myself.

It's almost useless because I literally can't use it.

Update: https://support.anthropic.com/en/articles/8325612-does-claud...

45 messages per 5 hours is the limit for Pro users, less if Claude is wordy in its responses—which it always is. I hit that limit so fast when I'm investigating something. So annoying.

Counter-intuitively, larger models are cheaper to train. However, smaller models are cheaper to serve. At first, everyone was focusing on training, so the models were much larger. Now, so many people are using AI everyday, so companies spend more on training smaller models to save on serving.
You can but often at the cost of speed and simplicity, or incurring into excessive bureaucracy. I agree with the original comment, Linux won't be anywhere close to what's today without Linus attitude, no matter how "great" other methods of ensuring quality sound on paper.
I think this particular example, of counting letters, is obviously going to be hard when you know how tokenization works. It's totally possible to develop an intuition for other times things will work or won't work, but like all ML powered tools, you can't hope for 100% accuracy. The best you can do is have good metrics and track performance on test sets.

I actually think the craziest part of LLMs is that how, as a developer or SME, just how much you can fix with plain english prompting once you have that intuition. Of course some things aren't fixable that way, but the mere fact that many cases are fixable simply by explaining the task to the model better in plain english is a wildly different paradigm! Jury is still out but I think it's worth being excited about, I think that's very powerful since there are a lot more people with good language skills than there are python programmers or ML experts.
I wonder if they have ever measured the degree to which they are shooting themselves in the foot with these aggressive tactics? Perhaps they have, and the math works out - but it would not surprise me if they simply don't know.
