I actually like having a variety of status codes to represent different scenarios. When I'm debugging a request at a glance my mental heuristic is "200-299 means success, 300-399 means redirection, 400-499 means client error, 500-599 means server error".

Not sure what you mean about JS fetch calls. The status code doesn't determine wether or not the catch block executes. The only thing it does affect is the value of the response.ok boolean (which is true if the status code is less than 300). There are a few cases where fetch will throw an exception, but status codes aren't among them: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/fetc...
yes, but the default is google, and you have to go into the settings to make a choice, so most people keep the default. what i meant was the EU directive for microsoft where they actually had to put up a prompt at first use asking the user which browser they want, without allowing any default (and, i am not sure, maybe even a randomized list)

if the same was done for search engine choice for firefox then google would no longer be the default, and they would have no reason to pay firefox for that.
> there will be smarter ways to transform preexisting data so that it’s a better dataset to train on, without losing very much

Like, take for example search. Instead of training on a bunch of scraped texts, you take one prompt, select 10 references, and use it to synthesize an answer. Referencing multiple texts gives you more than training on them directly. The LLM could catch contradictions, observe the distribution of human opinions, note if the topic is controversial. And then output a wikipedia-like article. Do this billions of times, and you got a refined dataset. You can iterate on top, using the articles as source and writing meta articles. Or just silly studies like writing a paper about "Characters named Charlie in literature". You can slice and dice the data in any way, and analyze the cross section.

Minus the sales pitch (which I've never had), this is one of the complaints I have about Google Assistant. "By the way, if you ever want to X, just say Y". Just answer the question asked and then shut up immediately.

And, preferably, learn to answer the question asked with more brevity, as well. If I ask "what's the high for today", I don't need to hear "In Cityname, expect a high of 90 degrees", just say "90".
The problem with Alexa is that they overpriced it and pocketed the money instead of using the cost of the machine to build something that performed most of its commands on device. Instead, it's reliant on the cloud which is 100% a problem they created. That being said, their "losses" are all just tax write offs that they have to pay themselves, so Amazon doesn't lose a dime.
Mistral: Are LLMs Commodities Now?
Yes, Costco is like the opposite of the Amazon experience. Costco will only carry a few brands of any given item, but they're all generally pretty good with nothing drop-shipped from a random AliExpress vendor. Their house brand - Kirkland - is pretty good as well. It's a curated set of products with a relatively small number of SKUs vs. Amazon's flea-market-like experience.

There's a video on YouTube of some guy gathering pee bottles discarded by Amazon drivers/contractors, created a fake drink, and got it listed on Amazon to the top spot.
Worse than than, 10$ gift card
To build on the Costco analogy: for any given product category they typically only have three specific options: good, better, best. I could tell Costco bot that I need AA batteries and it would ask me if I prefer Duracell, Kirkland brand, or cheapest. I trust that either of them will be plenty good, so I would say cheapest.

Amazon has a vastly different experience with thousands of indistinguishable Chinese knockoffs. I can only ask Alexa for a very specific product, otherwise I don't trust what I'll get. I use Alexa to add products to my cart, which serves as a reminder that I need to do a little more shopping from my phone or PC.
Yeah I like knowing that .us.gov is always a government site, and .edu is always an educational site, and there are governing bodies enforcing that policy - but for the rest, biz and net and com and io are cute, but completely unnecessary. I’d love to just go to https://gmail .

I don’t know anything about LLMs beyond using ChatGPT and Copilot… but unless because of this lack of knowledge I am misinterpreting your reply - it sounds as if you are excusing the model giving a completely wrong answer to a question that anyone intelligent enough to learn alphabet can answer correctly.

To me this was a complete failure on the process and review side. If something so blatantly obvious can slip through, how could ever I trust them to prevent an insider from shipping a backdoor?

They are auto updating code with the highest privileges on millions of machines. I'd expect their processes to be much much more cautious.

and Tesla's include statements about Optimus and FSD
I'm not clear that I see the benefit of the techniques here? For one, it is not necessarily obvious that the "or (|)" is not a distributive property. It is, instead, a population description? As such, it seems like it leads to a very weird statements compared to what you would get in other uses.

For example, if instead of Role, it was IsAdmin, and IsAdmin = True | False, then your application here gets you the odd True = Name x Password. What does that even mean?

It also has an odd one of what if Role = Normal + Admin + SuperAdmin, but User is still Admin | Normal? What does that even mean?
It's not really about "trust" per se, more about forcing domains to be in the right TLD. Today my personal blog lives on a .com domain, which is absurd except that .com is de-facto the default. I aspire to a world where that doesn't happen, because all domains that aren't literally for a business are on something else, so com can't be a default.

(Corollary: If you create legal entities in multiple countries, I don't care if you have domains to match. I just want to avoid the current sillyness where people use the io TLD even they have zero association, even on paper, with the British Indian Ocean Territory (or whoever you believe should control that TLD))

I almost completely agree, and think we mainly disagree on the nuances.

>The idea that there could be a grift set up to take advantage of people in the medical space, for instance, which is highly regulated and supposed to be for the benefit of people first and for generating capital second, is not intuitive to children.

The first thing I wanted to touch on is the idea of grift. Just because some has their interests ahead of yours doesn't mean they are a grifter. I think the childish view is the expectation that other people put your interests above their own, like the selflessness of a loving parent. A doctor doesnt put your individual wellbeing above their own, but that doesnt make them a grifter or a bad person. Expecting that kind of selflessness is entirely unrealistic, and is what causes cognitive dissonance when it clashes with reality. Thats not to say that grifters dont exist, who actively manipulate and deceive, but simply having unrealistic expectations for something does not make it a grift.

One example would when a doctor doesn't provide the depth of care and consideration the patient wants or would expect from a selfless caregiver. Most people come to the realization that they need to provide the drive and motivation for their own care, and doctors are just hired experts to help with things you cant do. You have to manage them and tell them what you want them to do. If you dont manage them like hired help, they will do very little indeed.

>Humans have always formed societies, and those societies have always provided services for their people. In fact, before capitalism, most of these services were provided in-kind as a right of being a part of the tribe. This idea that every person is born as an individual and nothing is granted to them belongs to a certain political ideology that is designed to make sure people feel entitled to nothing, and keep things in the private industry, and keep government small. But I digress.

I didnt mean to say that everyone is an island and forever alone. I mean that these things are not guaranteed entitlements, but conditional on human relations, standing, and mutual exchange. That is to say, they took work to maintain and were subject to constant scrutiny and mutual consent. Even in a tribe, goods and services were not provided unconditionally as some human birthright associated with tribal membership. Instead, they were conditional on good standing and mutual consent.

>This idea is also untrue. We've had a lot of time to perfect these things. If we can build skyscrapers and infrastructure to maintain them, we can provide these services. You are conflating political ideology and economic motivation with literal ability. The ability is absolutely there, and was in the past as well. There is something different going on that causes these systems to be "held together with duct-tape" and it's actually other humans actively trying to destroy these systems, not that they are impossible.

Im not arguing that beneficial institutions and functional societies are beyond human ability. Im saying their existence should not be taken for granted.
It actually makes sense when you need more granular control while working with multiple people over multiple projects. I should pop these stuff on my homepage instead of calendar features. Thanks for your review.
Here we go: a thread on developing for Windows, and immediately there are several top-level comments saying 'don't'. I suppose you guys like leaving 75% of a potential install base out of consideration. More money for us Windows devs, I guess.

After having recently worked on a project at work that involved precisely this (migrating a Linux/macOS-first project to Windows), I feel like that table at the top is... not the whole story. I also disagree with the author's conclusion: the easiest and most compatible way to develop on Windows is to use Visual Studio 2022, full stop. Download, install the Desktop Development with C++ workload, and start writing code. Can't be easier. It comes with a built-in debugger, profiler, and various build tools like CMake, Ninja (if you don't like MSBuild/NMake), Clang-CL (if you don't like cl.exe), and much more.

My background is a little different to the author: I've been writing on and for Windows most of the time, and I was only introduced to Linux in university. In order of 'closeness to Linux':

- WSL1/2: these are for all intents and purposes Linux VMs (yes, not in the case of WSL1, but practically it might as well be). Use these as though you would a real Linux machine.

- Cygwin: in general, never use Cygwin for new projects. Cygwin means saddling your user with an entire Linux filesystem hierarchy per application, including stuff like `/bin`, `/etc`, `/lib`, and so on. Additionally, it pretends to support `fork()` on Windows. Windows and NT don't have fork(). Never had, and never will. Don't use it, full stop.

- MinGW: this targets the Itanium C++ ABI. An admirable but sadly incomplete effort. New Win32 APIs like cfapi.h[1] aren't available. Big Windows-specific libraries like Microsoft's WIL[2] cannot compile on MinGW because they rely on MSVC-specific extensions. Deal-breaker for me.

- MSVC providing cl.exe, and also LLVM's official Clang releases for Windows: best options. These target the MSVC C++ ABI and expect/provide a complete install of the Windows SDK and MSVC C and C++ runtimes.

In general, I dislike shoehorning Linux/UNIX onto Windows and vice versa.

System developers should recognise the differences between OS and platform-specific primitives, APIs, and interfaces, and abstract over them depending on their needs. Each implementation should live on its own and should be linked to by the build system, and not directly interspersed in code. This means no `#ifdef _WIN32 #elifdef DARWIN #elifdef __linux`.

Or—and a hot take incoming—if you don't want to do any of this, use a platform-independent managed/interpreted language like Java, C#, Go, or Python.

Stupidly enough, they did, and then didn't glue things to it.
I still believe reddit is an amazing source. Any article you read on reddit, chances are the comments are better than the original text. They will debunk the article, present a diversity of reactions, and most importantly, they will be grounded in public opinion unlike the press which caters to money interests.

You just copy-paste a conversation into the LLM and ask for an article. For taste, here is one generated from this very conversation. https://pastebin.com/raw/JFH6PGqg
Sure, agreed. That is not the case that is being referred to here, where someone was assigning over IP that they had built while employed by the company but without an explicit agreement about who owns that IP. In this case, $1 or $20 would have been completely fine, as it was consideration for past IP. The work had already been paid for (salary, benefits, etc).
The models are text generators. They don't "understand" the question.
So according to you corporations are listening to you 24x7 through your phone and you are okay with that for whatever reason, and they also spy on your home 24x7 through Alexa and that is unacceptable?

I am confused because I see people fuzzing about Sonnet 3.5 being the best and yet somehow I seem to read again and again in factual texts and some benchmarks that Claude Opus is the most capable. Is there a simple answer to the question, what do I not understand? Please, thank you.

Why does hypoglycemia happen in people with diabetes? Healthy people can stay active for weeks without food and for many years almost without dietary carbs (on just fats and proteins - see carnivore and keto diets). How comes gluconeogenesis from triglyceride glycerol and from amino acid fails to cover the essential glucose needs?
Is it?

I've found that I get better results if I cherry pick code to feed to Claude 3.5, instead of pasting whole files.

I'm kind of isolated, though, so maybe I just don't know the trick.

>Customers actually used Echo mostly for free apps such as setting alarms and checking the weather. “We worried we’ve hired 10,000 people and we’ve built a smart timer,” said a former senior employee.
