No, and sorry if I gave that impression. Mine was just BSCS and then I actually got about half way though the MSCS at Drexel because they were one of the few institutions that offered 100% remote MSCS at the time. Then, I had a change of circumstance and didn't finish it. I was interested in the GT MSCS but didn't pursue it for the same reason I didn't finish the Drexel one: it just didn't feel like the ROI for my situation was worth it
ooof. finding out that market forces are real must really suck when you "don't have the disposable income to spare" but bought those, now, 50% worthless tickets anyhow.
Yeah because Rembrandt had all the facts on Aristotle. Spitting image of the chap that painting.
I think some people start from equal temperament. Then define a scale as the subset of those 12 nodes.

Any other subset of frequencies is just considered a "weird tuning" rather than a scale in its own right.

No one in recorded human history has ever come remotely close to the standard of living that you, presumably an average person, now enjoy. It is valid to wonder what the limits of this progress might be or if the scale of benefit shows diminishing returns.

If my view is myopic, yours is rosy. Almost everything you listed is a consequence of us making use of a finite fuel source that was many times denser than anything before, which we are using up faster than ever at the price of the biosphere, but you're assuming the red queen will win her race because she hasn't lost it in the past. That whole "if" we harness the tools we have to solve our problems is doing way too much heavy lifting, and completely ignores the question of if we do indeed have the tools needed to solve the problems we face in the first place.

Maybe I'm not following something, but I doubt very, very seriously that a college degree could be termed "easily" for any accredited institution. I'm open to those high value places getting all the best teachers, and unquestionably the networking opportunities are outrageous, but I still wouldn't expect someone to sleepwalk through a no-cost community college course, for example, just because it is free and not Stanford-Priced

> superior skills to a student in any number of fields

It's abhorrent any time we measure pure distilled intelligence.

When asked to come up with any non-basic novel algorithm and data structure, it creates nonsense.

Especially when you ask it to create vector instruction friendly memory layouts and it can't code in its preferred way. I had some fun trying to make it spit out a brute-force-ish solver for a problem involving basic orbital mechanics and some forces. Wouldn't even want try something more complicated. It can do generalized solvers somewhat, since it can copy that homework, but none that can express the kinds of terms you'd be working with (despite those also having code available in some research papers).

Speaking of which, it cannot even figure out some basic truths in orbital mechanics that can be somewhat easily derived from the formulas commonly given, nine times out of ten (you can get there if you're very patient and are able to filter its wrong answers).

But at the end of the day it was still a valuable tool to me as I was learning these things myself, since despite being often wrong, it nevertheless spat out useful things I could plug into Google to find more trustworthy sources that would teach me. Really neat if you're going in blind into a new subject.
These days chatgpt can fill the gap surprisingly well for many questions.
We don't have to guess. We can precisely know the reach of these articles. Aside from this I wonder what value does GPT have here? It seems like it's saving "the covert Iranians" (how covert can you be if an American business points the finger right at you?) on the order of a few dollars an hour.

It's hard to take seriously. On any level.
I'm not saying this is you, but in my experience, the conversation changes because people flatly refuse to believe any concrete examples. I would and many companies do trust an LLM with low to medium skilled text processing tasks: internal knowledge sharing, first line customer support, low stakes document review. Github has their famous Copilot product, which I don't personally find too useful but many of my coworkers use.
Well, you got me. No way to weasel out of that logic. No hard feelings, and have a lucrative life!
Common denominator implies you're restricted to some subset of the cloud's features. I'm curious what restriction you see, since nothing about nitric limits combining nitric code with existing cloud libraries or extending providers to change the cloud interactions behind the abstractions.
I’m using cxx/cxx-qt in a Rust QT app with substantial interop with Qt/QML and lots of C++ code (because Gpt/Claude make implementing some stuff easier in C++). It’s definitely mature enough because Qt’s libs are no joke.

At this point I have a Claude project set up with Cxx documentation and it autogenerates most of my bindings.
You just argued that, because some animals display errors in reasoning, we can call into doubt the claim that any animal reasons. This does not follow. The reflection test, for example, is passed by some animals; we can test it by putting a red dot on their face and seeing if they mess with it. Either way, it’s not even a test of general reasoning abilities. I think you’re giving animals far too little credit.
The products (both hardware and software) were also struggling. My first laptop, a PowerBook 5300c had terrible production / build problems. I can’t remember what they were, but even though I quite liked mine, it was a bad computer. And Copeland, the next-gen OS that would be on par with WinNT kept getting delayed and never shipped.

Until Apple bought NeXT’s tech and talent, it was very bleak. I still loved my Mac, don’t get me wrong. It was clearly “better,” (I’ll never understand how our antialiased text didn’t make that obvious), but it was also dying. Getting rid of John Sculley and letting Steve Jobs micromanage everything and make unpopular cuts was a miracle save.
California Lawmakers Face Backlash over Doomsday-Driven AI Bill
I wonder if reasoning is intrinsically tied to the need for a model to be able to perform well with extremely limited training data. Current LLMs require the sum total of all human knowledge to work correctly (even a few decades ago, there was no where near enough data to train one to be useful, regardless of available computing), meanwhile humans only need access to a few books and conversations with uneducated people growing up to achieve brilliant ideas.
It’s possible that we’re brains floating in space imagining our lives, but we don’t tend to act on that assumption because it’s a bit silly.

It's the university's press release for a paper published in a scientific journal: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/scirobotics.ade4642.

Scientific press releases are usually poorly written, by people who don't necessarily understand the science. Look at the paper if you want details.
It resonated with me so I’ll explain my take.

The hustle culture the author mentions reminds me of my time in big tech. It was an endless search to unlock growth for the sake of career progression, monetary gain, corporate infighting, etc.

I believe there exists an alternate approach which appeals a lot more to me. That is a slower pace of fewer but more polished capabilities. Refining a tool instead of expanding it. Appreciating what’s there instead of chasing something that’s not.

Many products deserve to be “done”. But that’s rarely the case in high tech and I’m not sure most people could answer the 5 whys of why it’s not “done”.

> Google does it nobody has a problem

Historically, when Google did it, they did it to create an index, which a lot of people found useful as a way to find information they were looking for. This used to mean people would come and visit your website, where they could engage with the website creator directly through a variety of different means.

Google doing it now to digest all the content and mulch it all together to return a regurgitated form of it is a very different proposition, and that is what people are annoyed about when "the little guys" (funny name for startups with multiple billions of dollars of raised capital) are doing the same thing.

For many it's not about "moral ethics", it's about actual survival. If nobody is visiting their website, nobody is buying their products or engaging with their community or whatever.

If you're scraping content for no other purpose than to mechanistically reword it for commercial purposes, then it's not really surprising that people have issues with it.
It worked great on an ipad but on a TV app I had to go click, click, click, click 40 times to get to the channel I wanted.
Not providing solutions is quite common in math textbooks, in part because professors (including the author!) want to be able to assign problems from the textbook to their class, and in part because making solutions is a lot of work!

Outside of a classroom setting, the way you learn from a textbook without external feedback is by engaging more actively with the material.

Treat each statement in the main text as an informal exercise. Each time you come across a proposition -- whether it's a formal theorem statement or a claim in the body of the exposition -- try proving or otherwise justifying it to yourself before reading on.

Take a look at Theorems 2.3.1 and 2.3.2 -- they are very similar. Once you have absorbed the proof of 2.3.1, you can attempt 2.3.2 on your own. If you can't finish the proof, you can read a couple of sentences from the included proof for "hints"... or, if you do finish a proof, you can compare it to the proof in the text.

If you read actively enough, you can learn the material quite well without doing any problems. Many people will claim that you need to do formal problems in order to learn math, but this is untrue. Many math textbooks at the higher level don't include formal exercises or problems at all, and people learn from them just fine.

Admittedly, reading mathematics is a skill in its own right, and you shouldn't expect it to come easily right away. Of course, the best thing is to have a one-on-one teacher, but few of us are so lucky.
Anyone has experience with Softdeletes? Any links?

I've worked both ways. Hard DELETE and soft UPDATE deleted_at = NOW().

They both have tradeoffs.

It seems to me that delete_at columns allow for faster development at the cost of more runtime bugs. Like why is this deleted row being listed in this <select>? Did I forget to add `WHERE deleted_at IS NULL` again?

Meanwhile a hard DELETE usually means I get to copy rows to a cemetery table just in case. And it forces me to think about what to do with Foreign Keys that point to the row being deleted. Can I really delete this row if 3 other tables point to it? It makes some business rules evident.

I'm thinking, perhaps I can serialize hard DELETED rows as JSON and store all system deleted rows in a trash table. This way I don't have to keep schema in sync there too.

Tis better to

…after Tennyson

I enjoyed the article but I think it’s a bit too provocative of the author to distill it all down to “move slow and fix things”.

If anything, the lean nature of a bootstrapped, slow growth, mom-and-pop software business puts even more emphasis on the ethos of moving fast (or quickly if you prefer): it’s always best to make progress, even if things break, as long as you fix anything you break along the way.
I mean LLMs crush most humans (even many professionals) at coding/legal/medical/etc. exams.

Ah, wait. That only counts as evidence of intelligence when humans do it, right?
LLMs already do this. Their many wide layers allow for this, and as a final fallback, their output adjusts based on every token they generate (it's not all decided at once). All your statement really means is a vague "well it should do it more!" which yeah, is the goal of each iteration of GPT etc.

I wouldn't count on it -- LLMs make lots of errors in reasoning, and errors in solutions are very frustrating to most math students.

Yes, and I have yet to meet another New Yorker who finds it appealing. Apparently, from what I've gathered, tourists love it. I guess that's how it works: tourists take pictures of the graffiti, spread it over social media, artist writes the same corny words on an object you can put in your home, profit.
The wheel turns. It is what it does.

If your view is that all life will cease on this planet from our current state, then I have records of several billion years of past existence of life on this planet as proof that is relatively unlikely. Especially given the relatively minor (from a geological history perspective) nature of the things you are talking about.

Also if your take on my view is that things will be pleasant, ‘fine’, ‘fun’, or with no change or conflict in the future, then I suggest you re-read it.

I see no reason to think that things will not continue in some form. And I have no reason to think that the issues you are naming are unsolvable, with sufficient motivation. Pain and existential threat being historically very effective motivators.

Right now there are historically very low levels of those motivators. We also have an exceptional ability to insulate us from those motivators (historically), especially in the developed world.

Hell, we haven’t even taken a war time footing economically on things like energy yet.

I watched something based on this in my debate club, so this isn't my own original thought.

There's a strong argument that the knowledge someone has from being disadvantaged contributes to their views on justice. The original position also incentivizes ignoring the rights of small groups of people since you likely aren't going to be a part of one.

One also gets into issues like reparations for past injustices. Those benefit a small group of people at the cost of the many (hard to justify with the original position), but can still be a form of justice since we want to balance past wrongs.

People pattern match, but people also apply logic and abstract thinking, far surpassing the abilities of LLMs, and this is a fundamental limitation that won't get fixed by more processing power and training data.

The big difference in behavior is in how people or LLMs approach new problems. A LLM is incapable of solving a problem that's similar to one that it was trained on, but with slightly changed requirements. A LLM is also incapable of learning, once you point out their error, or of admitting that it doesn't know.

Regarding people, I find it interesting that even lower IQ people are capable of tasks that are currently completely out of reach for AI. It's not just the obvious, such as self-reflection, but even tasks that should've been solved by AI already, such as driving to the grocery store.

Typically gentrification at its simplest and most “popular” descriptive level is when people with more wealth move in and so property rates climb, and cost of living rises, and existing people in the community are no longer able to afford rent or other aspects of living there.
serious question: why aren't you guys doing all the extra feature stuff in zellij and not having to care so much about what term you are using?
Yup. I bought a brand new Pixel 7 because I loved the old HTC made Pixels. The P7 stopped receiving calls for whatever reason at random times. Twice it missed emergency calls and that's when I decided to pull the plug.

So that is why they are threatening influencers now. But nothing will come of it. They will lose albeit slowly because monopolies are allowed in our country.
The Pixel phones have been generally quite good, especially if you stick to the lower end ones and wait for a good deal. The photo software is great, the support period is good, and there's just no real big complaints about the rest.

Probably the only brand or tool from Google I actually have good feelings about these days.
> Meanwhile you had the Atari ST, Amiga, Sinclair QL on the low end

I don't know that you would call some of those (I'm familiar with the Amiga) as "low end" compared to the Mac. Same CPU, more memory (the Amiga could go up to 138MB, even then), more capacity floppy drives. 4096 color display at higher resolutions than the monochrome Mac. Better sound quality, 4 channel stereo versus monochrome.

Yeah, definitely not sure how the Amiga was low-end versus the Original Mac.
