In the end, I don't see the distinction. I expect that instead of an LLM writing text, it may as well make the final thing and you can 'view source' if you like or just use it. So the LLM is the low-code platform.

What will be interesting is what chosen languages/frameworks are the most effective in LLM-based no/low-code platforms. I've wanted forever for developers to choose/use better languages and tools but that's always too varied to execute at a scale beyond early startup. I could see the low-code AIs/LLMs having an advantage using better communication/action interfaces to make apps. Geez this could all happen fast.

The other answers are currently just appealing to common definitions, but belaboring the point a bit further there's a real difference.

Imagine you hold your hand 1/4 inch above an electric stove on high. What do you expect to happen? You're pumping 1kw into your hand, so probably nothing good. What you don't expect from a duration of a minute or two though is much in the way of DNA damage. You'll mostly recover, give or take a bit of scarring and lower-probability acute health risks (even that scarring degrading to nothing over time if you're young).

Contrast that with 1000x less power (just 1 watt), but in the form of a focused x-ray. It can't affect many tissues, but the energy in each photon breaks chemical bonds the stove couldn't dream of in thousands of years. When using it as a diagnostic tool or a treatment, the best you can hope to do is mitigate the blast radius.

Some therapies are, by that definition, a bit of a hybrid. Binding nanoparticles to a tumor to excite them with near-infrared energy is pretty clearly a form of radiation, but the technique uses those wavelengths because they mostly just pass through your tissues and because it's easy to tune nanoparticles in those wavelengths. The effect on your body (beyond any cytotoxic effects of the particles) is a localized thermal treatment.

This new treatment is both non-radiative definitionally (using something other than the electromagnetic spectrum), but it fits into that last group of things, as a way to focus energy into problematic cells without letting stray high-energy particles cause excessive damage. Damage is limited to local thermal stresses, with probably some unknown unknowns with respect to cavitation inside blood vessels.

this is the example often cited as usecase for zkTLS protocols, which are protocols that use additional trust assumptions to notarize a connection you have with a TLS protected host, and then you can prove the notarization (i.e. a signature over the TLS transcript) in ZK as well as any parsing over request/response data.
Yes, that's the one! I can't blame autocorrect, just a regular typo
1) this is true, I’ve run into this!

That's fun! I bet people would tend to nudge the threshold toward the middle of the scale. Or you could do a sorting interface, etc.
But teal isn't a single point, it's a range. You can have teals that are more blue or more green than each other; they can't all be zero. Whichever one you choose to be the true transition point between blue and green, there will be teals that are more blue or green than that one.
Is this the enshittification everyone keeps talking about?
I stopped at the first one I could not call blue or green.

If I were to call it blue or green, it would not only not be reflecting what I think, but I could not guarantee that if I'm show the exact same color again, that I will go the same way. So I felt there was no point in continuing.

This is a problem in the method; there needs to be a third choice, so that the user can always answer (at least if the test color is always in the blue-green gamut).

It could work with two choices if the user were instructed to randomly choose in the event of indecision. I mean, truly randomly, like by means of a fair coin toss. But that could just be implemented for them by a third button. That button could then just record their indecision rather than randomly choose between blue and green, so you have better data.

Without a third choice, or properly randomized behavior, you have bias problems. For instance, a certain user who likes the blue color might always say blue when not able to decide. Another one might always go for green. Yet, those two users might exactly coincide in what they unmistakably call blue, green and what triggers hesitation/indecision.

(I realize that no matter how many bins we have, there are boundary indecisions, like not being able to decide between green and blue-green. What range constitutes indecision is also subjective.)
Looking for these too!
We did something similar -na although in a somewhat different context.

A bit of topic but great post title.
The claim by Musk (who is also not a lawyer, nor Brazilian) is that a single renegade Brazilian Suprem Court Justice has made a non compliant unconstitutional ban request.

The report here asserts that every single other Brazilian Supreme Court Justice has backed that ban.

You may not be a lawyer, like Musk, but I'm led to believe that all the Justices of the Braziian Supreme Court are, and that they understand the Brazilian Legal system.

Bubbletea: A powerful little TUI framework
> Linux actually is good enough now.

You say this like there is one Linux that people can use. Instead, it is fragmented to hell and back with various distros. Since it's a replacement for Windows, a GUI will be needed. There's more than one of those as well.

So now, some one needs to go down that rabbit hole of trying to decide which distro/GUI will work for them. So a generic "use Linux" is not very helpful.
You can uninstall the updater too ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Just move its files (C:/windows/system32/wua*.dll) somewhere else. Put them back when/if you want to install updates, install updates, then move them again.
Fun to find out that Japan's oldest temple builder company had Korean founding engineers.
Wonderful. Differential equations were my favorite subject in school. Unfortunately the chaos theory class was only offered every other spring and I missed out on it.

A way to copy the parameters would be nice (even just allowing text highlight).

Most discussion I found about the topic is how to extract information. Is there any technique for extracting interactive elements? I reckon listing all of inputs/controls would not be hard, but finding the corresponding labels/articles might be tricky.

Another thing I wonder is, regarding text extraction, would it be a crazy idea to just snapshot the page and ask it to OCR & generate a bare minimum html table layout. That way both the content and the spatial relationship of elements are maintained (not sure how useful but I'd like to keep it anyway).
Obviously yes, since a given Lisp isn't yodaspeak and has the power of that Lisp.
If the test is designed to select for non-blues in the HSL range of 150 and 210, how is it assigning boundary hues in a higher range?

How do you keep table structure?
Microsoft has a history of re-enabling privacy violating settings after a while, so I would be concerned too.
All these are true:

- A happened before B

- B happened before A

- A & B happened at the exact same time

- Neither / there is no "before"/"after"

Considering this is the case with anything measured, what explanatory "truth" would be left when you consider a perfect description of reality? One that accounts for the global reference frames of every possible metric (not just order of events)?

There's no absolute "truth" to any of the mainstays:

Where things are

When they happened

In what order they happened

Even whether or not they happened (there is a perspective where all the values of a measured thing can be zero - like mirroring the velocity of a speeding object to reduce its speed to zero, or rotating a plane to make its height zero - and the different physical implications therein).

We correlate observed "locations in space" and the "passage of time" to heuristical approximations that work (as scientific theories) for our intents and purposes on a hyper local level (a tiny fraction of just our galaxy), but they break down on macro levels because they aren't really accurate descriptions of reality. Our physics doesn't work at scale - not smaller than atoms, nor larger than ~solar systems, without theories falling apart.

Space

The XYZ coordinate system we understand as "3D space" works great for locating and measuring the size of objects locally, we could perfectly track a tiny marble bouncing down a huge mountain with a granular enough XYZ coordinate system and telemetry. But that wouldn't work on larger scales like comparing the movement of subatomic particles with the movement of stars in the same graph. The graph couldn't accurately chart that without normalizing data or adjusting the reference frame toward one bias or the other (see scale invariance, vacuum catastrophe). We can only neatly slap a fixed reference frame over a scoped area, invent units and call it a "field", if we expect any predictive utility.

Time

There's not really an absolute "arrow of time" with a past and future, where A happened, then B happened, etc. in an absolute sense. As shown in the star example, it completely depends on the orientation and velocity of the observer, and other factors. No one perspective is more true than the other.

We all happen to hang out in the same frames, so it seems like some of these are rigid laws - they effectively are, for us - but they aren't really, ultimately. When you eliminate the heuristics that give value to science there's nothing left - which as mentioned above is a possible and potential state.
This is the reason many coding styles and tools (including the Linux kernel coding style and the default Rust style as implemented in rustfmt) do not break string constants across lines even if they're longer than the desired line length: you might see the string in the program's output, and want to search for the same string in the code to find where it gets shown.

To be honest, that sounds great in a hotel. But a home, really.

How would you control for this? How would you control for the opposite?

BTW there's a lot of data that shows that it's the opposite of your assumptions that's true.
The existence of direct keyboard layouts doesn't always imply that they would be popular though. I think this happens fairly regularly around the world and the only major exception I'm aware of is Korean where no phonetic input methods were widespread at any moment.

I switched to Colemak dhm a while back and I'm really happy with it. I've been using a ZSA moonlander at home and at work, and it's subtle, but I can definitely tell that this layout is easier to use. It's especially great with this keyboard and its macros and layers.

My laptops are still QWERTY though, and it's not too hard to code switch. It didn't take me too long to learn the new layout, though there was a short awkward period where I was bad at typing regardless of layout.
This is really cool - however, it would be cool to have some more editing controls to make the output cleaner on the preview easier... but its a nifty tooL

I do this with RStudio/Positron - your tool is the reverse of my workflow:

By his last sentence this writer endorsed the criminal behavior the article spoke about. Simply appalling. By endorsing it he signals his lack of concern for those lowest on the socioeconomic rung who have struggled their whole lives merely to feed themselves and ATTEMPT to keep up with a greed driven world. Such a "windfall" as an extra 10k, 20k, or 30k would for MANY effectively free them from the struggle they have been unable to escape for the duration of their time on this planet, provided the money isn't frivolously wasted of course. In the face of such a release from financial freedom it,s no wonder so many choose to risk the possible legal consequences. And why write as though its an issue if clearly you dgaf but cheer them on as though its two rival teams in competition with each other and you're rooting for the underdog? Well congratulations, you side with anarchy, theft, immorality, and no clear path towards making this situation better for the more ill equipped team. The article said nothing more than, "Gotta get it together better banks!" Bravo.
I have wondered whether the people that commute through an area regularly ought not to have a sort of "commuter's voting rights". This would allow them to vote against NIMBY-ist policies that are forcing them to commute in the first place.

This is a little different than what the article alludes to, which is perhaps a nationalized zoning policy (similar to Japan).
I won't say anything specific about UnitedHealthcare or take a position on their actions but will comment generally about Medicare Advantage plans. The standard defense is that many of the diagnosis codes are highly subjective and depend on clinician judgment more than objective lab tests. Different doctors might reach different conclusions but that's normal in medicine and doesn't necessarily indicate fraud or malpractice. Health plans will also claim that adding formal diagnosis codes for all of a patient's conditions to their chart helps to get them the best care.
Exactly. People don't want certain things but also want an ai to do other certain things and don't realize the path to 1 is thru the other.
I get these as well - with any difficult coding or even SRE problem or any sort of deep logical problem that I find myself working on until the last moment before I go to bed.

I find that doing something else for about an hour before going to sleep helps with this almost 100% of the time. It could be listening to music, watching TV, reading, playing with my kid, almost anything. But giving my head a full hour to rest from a deep problem helps me sleep without ending up in some logical nightmare that only some construct from my problem could resolve (and tends to make worse)
No one really cares about that "EOL" crap unless they've been brainwashed by the FUD. A lot of very important software[1] still works on Vista or 7, and a large portion of that even on XP and below. Also don't forget that Win10 IoT LTSC is officially supported until 2032.

Strange that they consider bias as a spectrum between Left and Right. Doesn't make much sense to me, especially for the topics interesting me most.
A lot of this reads like code search tools could and should be a lot better. They probably will be with AI finding its way into everything. In the old days, people would Hungarian prefix types, but now the IDE mitigates that with color codes.
For context, the area was known as geographically unstable since 1965, but land movement has been accelerating in the past few years.
The book does talk about various exceptions, and spends a lot of time talking about how exceptions in some way represent alternative power structures. Having said that, I think much of your list while true would be relatively uncommon (for location, name, currency, birth date and crime) though I can't speak to your last point which is surprising to me!
A sorting interface would be another neat step! And yeah, I think most would gravitate toward the middle. Seeing how "far off" you are would be fun :)

Ooh maybe have the user slide a gradient left and right inside a window, aligning the center of the window with where they think the line is between blue and green (i.e., instruct the user to fill the window with equal amounts of green and blue).
One suggestion that someone endorsed in another comment is to use VS Code. This would not be my preferred choice, but it would be useful to run an experiment in which students who are new to code start by installing it and following its suggestions about how to configure a working environment. One advantage with this approach is that it introduces students to a text editor.

A second alternative is the Idle environment that is included with every official install of Python from python.org. I have not used it much and I've never tried to teach a course with it. But it comes from the most trustworthy source in this complicated environment.

I'd be very interested in hearing about experience using these to start learning from the very beginning or using them to teach a course for people who are just getting started.
Especially in untyped languages, working with an old or unfamiliar codebase, sometimes the only way to know "was anything else using this code" is just to search for the name of a function or whatever.

Vortexes absolutely have their place in fluid dynamics and mechanical design. Modern shipbuilding depends on them. If we ever manage to attempt geoengineering at the largest scale, plate tectonics would probably also come into play.

Which is to say, yes: it is a system composed of comprehensible systems, which makes it, itself, a comprehensible system. And that's the whole point here: given knowledge and time, we can tease out exactly how it works.
The mask is 200 ms long, which is a bit on the long side compared to most psychophysics experiments. I can try to crank it up to 300 ms, but beyond that I think it'll start feeling slow.
Same. Some of them are neither obviously blue nor obviously green, so what the test was measuring for me was what I was thinking about at the time, the decision I'd previously made, whether my mouse was currently hovering over "blue" or "green", etc.

Do you have some ideas for how to make code search better?

Right now, code search is basically just text search. If you think code search tools “could and should” be a lot better, what kind of improvements are you thinking about? How would those improvements work?
Nope; Yoda puts the predicates (verbs) last (or, not quite, see below). This is very similar to Japanese. Yoda is obviously Japanese-inspired, both in name and mannerism.

Forth and PostScript are programming language yodaspeak, but actually even more like Japanese than yodaspeak, due to doggedly putting verbs last, even in their embedded clauses.

Lisps actually follow the English S-V-O order.

For instance "Go home!" is plain English, and it looks like (go home) if transliterated to Lisp syntax.

Because it is imperative, there is an implicit subject, "you" (you go home); we don't see it and so we are left with V-O.

Lisps are not special; they are similar to command languages in which the name of a utility serves as the verb, followed by the arguments, which are like modifying phrases, objects and whatnot. Not to mention, Lisp expressions are similar to the function calls in mainstream languages, historic and current. What you usually don't see is subj.verb(obj, ...). In the Common Lisp object system, the leftmost object in a generic function invocation is not special; it is not assumed to be the thing doing the action. So (draw obj canvas) is still "(You, computer) draw the object on the canvas (using the method best suited for those two objects based on the combination of their type)", and not "Object, draw yourself on the canvas (based on a method selected using your type only, which then uses the abstract services of the canvas)".

Yoda is from an advanced ESL class of pseudo-Japanese immigrants, by the way, and so doesn't reverse everything. For instance, "you must go home" comes out in yodaspeak as "go home, you must". This is grammatical English, which "you, home go, must" (closer to true Japanese order) would not be.¹

Yoda has a fine command of English grammar; he correctly uses the processes of topicalization and extraposition to imitate some features of his Japanese-like native language.

1. E.g. あなた、家に帰らなやだめだ。 (Anata, ie-ni kaera-nakyadame-da). Anata is you, ie-ni is home-to, "karea" is a combining for of the verb "kaeru" which means return home, and nakyadame + da is a suffix that adds "must" to the verb, and is itself a verb due to the copula "da". The verbs are doggedly last.
I've seen some pretty wild conditional string interpolation where there were like 3-4 separate phrases that each had a number of different options, something akin to `${a ? 'You' : 'we'} {b ? 'did' : 'will do' } {c ? 'thing' : 'things' }`.

When I was first onboarding to this project, I was tasked with updating a component and simply tried to find three of the words I saw in the UI, and this was before we implemented a straightforward path-based routing system. It took me far too long just to find what I was going to be working on, and that's the day I distinctly remember learning this lesson. I was pretty junior, but I'd later return to this code and threw it all away for a number of easily greppable strings.
