Something that's been amusing me about Cursor is that I feel a lot of the excitement about it isn't so much about Cursor, it's people realizing that LLMs have got REALLY good at writing code now. GPT-4 was good for the past year, but the latest models (especially Claude 3.5 Sonnet) are spectacular.

Those of us who've been copying and pasting LLM-generated code back and forth from ChatGPT and Claude.ai for the past year had figured this out already, so Cursor wasn't a huge surprise for us.

For a lot of people Cursor is the first time they've really appreciated how good this stuff has got - so it's getting a massive amount of buzz, much of which should really be credited to Claude 3.5 Sonnet.

(Cursor have done an excellent job designing editor features on top of that model and deserve credit for that, I'm just a bit tickled at some of the excitement which basically boils down to "Huh, LLMs can write good code now".)
Your interests sound similar to mine. My email is in my profile if you ever care to compare notes.
I agree, the camera angle is from below and the spearman seems to be tilting his head. Figure 3 in the paper has a image showing an angle that implies the spearman had decent vision.
Is BlueSky required to have a legal rep?

Two points:

* How?
Like I said, I don't recall exactly where he was from and can't be bothered to look it up, because it doesn't matter. But just because most people from location X don't have opinion Y, doesn't mean some don't.

Either way, I certainly don't think he was making stuff up. He could have left at any time without any reason. We weren't holding him captive.
Let back away a bit more. Isn't this how the Internet started?

Well put.
I think it was pretty understandable tbh. Chris Rock was being an asshole. And it was only a slap. No damage was done.

I wouldn't have done the same but it was a nasty "joke". You don't make fun of people's illnesses. To me it's similar to Trump mocking the disabled reporter.

That it was on TV doesn't really change the severity of it IMO. Actors are also real people with feelings. If it had been at a private event nothing would have been said of it. It's not a cool thing to do but not the end of the world.

If you turn on a random Jerry Springer episode you'll see much worse every minute.

It depends on the circumstances and how you want to prioritize things. Generally I'll take on the 5 easiest tasks across all my 'active' projects.
In 2010 there was an international campaign of clemency for an Iranian woman who was going to get the death penalty. The campaign said she was imprisoned for adultery. She was in prison for adultery - and also murdering her husband, with her lover's help. This part was always left out of the news reports on this, at least initially.
Germany prohibits certain types of speech, including Holocaust denial and hate speech, which are considered threats to public order and democratic values.

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/jul/10/twitter-f...

"Twitter has become a space where antisemitism and Holocaust denial is just growing and growing."

I hope Germany is the next to ban.
Different issue in Chrome scroll, probably not related. Win 10,32 bit,any of last dozens of updates to chrome if that matters. Open chrome. Left mouse click All Bookmarks. Tap up arrow key to scroll to the bottom of long list. Begin to slide mouse down off All Bookmarks into that list to get to the bottom of that list. And the list of bookmarks vertically scrolls a few or half a dozen lines so the last few or half dozen lines are now hidden. But, giving them credit, they did fix an introduced behavior where deleting a bookmark or moving a bookmark into a bookmark folder would repaint the whole bookmark list and scroll you back to the top of the list. That has now been fixed and the list of bookmarks no longer scrolls when I move or delete a bookmark. Thank you for that.
It looks like it is still a going concern - the company website and phone line both seem to be active.

I know the author professionally and I can assure you he is not a competent as a Manager and his blog is purely money driven nonsense. He didn’t even work on some the things he claims to be an expert on. The people who write these types of articles are the ones you should expect the least from. The good leaders are the ones who are generally silent and have no desire to show off their talent and write articles.

I like Richard Werner's take on the matter:

Is there a "html reducer" out there? I've been considering writing one. If you take a page's source it's going to be 90% garbage tokens -- random JS, ads, unnecessary properties, aggressive nesting for layout rendering, etc.

I feel like if you used a dom parser to walk and only keep nodes with text, the html structure and the necessary tag properties (class/id only maybe?) you'd have significant savings. Perhaps the xpath thing might work better too. You can even even drop necessary symbols and represent it as a indented text file.

We use readability for things like this but you lose the dom structure and their quality reduces with JS heavy websites and pages with actions like "continue reading" which expand the text.

Whats the gold standard for something like this?

I don't think you understand what that word means and calling someone that for a very human-like response is cruel to say the least.

>A CSS matrix "transform" is the same concept

It's still misleading to call it a transformer in the context of NLP. It doesn't matter what it means in other, non-NLP areas (linear algebra, CSS or gamedev).

It's like creating a procedural language and calling it "functional" because it has functions. Sure the concept of functions existed long before compsci but it would be very misleading because "functional programming" is a well-established term.

>You would be a fool to think ChatGPT has no NLP or parts-of-speech analysis

Pretty sure it doesn't. At least it's not required to. I've run lots of local models and it's just model weights without hardcoded regexps. In fact, I was able to feed grammar rules of an invented language into Claude Sonnet and it was able to construct proper sentences.

Building a flying sailboat: Foiling Laser design, engineering, and testing [video]
Cool vlog on modifying a Laser into a hydrofoiling boat.

Lasers are small, fast, 1-man, racing dinghy sailboats. They are designed to get up on plane quickly and skim across the water surface, but are somewhat unstable and require constant athletic effort by the sailor to keep them stable, pointed in the right direction, and sailing optimally.

Modifying one into an even more unstable hydrofoil is no trivial endeavor.
But it is of small enough scale it can be attempted by a single naval architecture grad student in his home workshop.

This vlog goes through several design->build->test iterations here, solving problems such as changing the center of gravity and forces acting on the boat, structural (over)stress, etc. Still a work in progress, but it's been done before and is known to be possible. This is just the first vlog of the process of doing it that I've seen.
Transistors change function at random?
The degree of optimization & mass-cutting you need to do to get to LEO in an SSTO vehicle with zero payload is absurd, and wings or landing gear sabotage that immediately. And assuming you get there - even very small payloads demands enormous vehicles. Which now you've got to brace for horizontal mass loading, with takeoff from a RUNWAY with some kind of unspecified sea-level propulsion at a mass of what, 500-1000 tons?

What is the special sauce they are pitching to make this worthwhile? Some kind of launch sled?

Taking off at 30 degrees pitch from an as-yet-unbuilt Kilimanjaro Spaceport at just under mach 1 would certainly help an SSTO make its numbers, but is that enough to make the idea competitive? So far, it hasn't been.

We have proven first stage return capability now with more conventional vertical launch rockets, proven a middle-stage hypersonic return capability, and done an early beta test of last-stage return capability from quasi-orbit, and mounting a spaceplane on top of a Falcon 9 first stage for full reusability (or a BFS on a BFR) appears perfectly feasible. Why SSTO? Why now?

You're not making any sense. If the radiation doesn't penetrate the skin then it won't affect anything under the skin.
The uncomfortable truth is that the vast majority of consumers, both in terms of quantity and amount of money owned, would rather have a bank be liable when something goes wrong instead of being liable themselves.

Crypto is very much like gold. When it gets stolen, either due to your account getting hacked, your bank's account getting hacked, you being phished, you buying a phone and actually receiving a brick, or even your employee transferring all the money your company has and fleeing to China, there's no recourse.

That's not how traditional finance works. Most financial transactions are, to some degree, reversible, and many of those that aren't will be refunded by the bank / insurance / government in case of fraud. This is something that most banking customers want.
Only works insofar as sites are being nice. A lot of sites do things like: render all text via JS, render article text via API, paywall content by showing a preview snippet of static text before swapping it for the full text (which lives in a different element), lazyload images, lazyload text, etc etc.

DOM parsing wasn't enough for Google's SEO algo, either. I'll even see Safari's "reader mode" fail utterly on site after site for some of these reasons. I tend to have to scroll the entire page before running it.

While not necessarily specific to password management (and probably shouldn’t be for password management), it can be super helpful to self host an internal “flashpaper” service where devs/people sharing sensitive info can send each other one time viewable links. Creates an easy default way to securely share secrets and feels surprisingly fun to do!
1. Truth itself is an invention of the human mind to try and sort physical observations / claims about the external world into two neat buckets.

2. Time as a linear description is the same, a way of sorting the physical world into a series of events.

Both have generalizations. Topos Theory generalizes Set Theory with different notions of what is "true." There are several variations on temporal logic with Linear Temporal Logic being only one such idea.

With all that in mind, your thought experiment does not cause any issues because you can say that the framework for reasoning about the example is _itself_ the problem. Hence, it fails as a counterexample for our inability to potentially understand reality without flaw.

Interesting, we now have the AI tech that can help him with that. I suspect he just finances new projects and has no real need to be in the public eye. Public figures surrender a big chunk of their privacy and mental health in exchange for being in the public eye. It's probably not worth it to him. Techies tend to trend towards being introverts. It would not surprise me if he is one and just wants to be left alone. No one moves to an island that wants to be all over the news.

It's hard to see what else he can do that will match Alphabet. Talk about changing the world, he did it.

Jina.ai offer a really neat (currently free) API for this - you add https://r.jina.ai/ on the beginning of any API and it gives you back a Markdown version of the main content of that page, suitable for piping into an LLM.

I snuck in an edit about readability before I saw your reply. The quality of that one in particular is very meh, especially for most new sites and then you lose all of the dom structure in case you want to do more with the page. Though now I'm curious how it works on the weather.com page the author tried. pupeteer -> screenshot -> ocr (or even multi-modal which many do OCR first) -> LLM pipeline might work better there.
Personally, there's no way I'd want a customer initiated operation to trigger something like terraform or mess with DB schemas. On the security side, it would significantly complicate the permissions structure from the application to the database. And on the performance side, I have absolutely no mental model for how operations like that scale, and how trivial of a DoS I'm exposing myself to. At the same time, I love the isolation (mostly operationally, the security & privacy side is also nice) that db-per-customer would bring. If this product helps bridge the gap, then it sounds good to me.
I've been at companies that do this. It's extremely brittle process with significant overhead. Normally, we have to setup S2S VPN with all security/administrative implications of that. Then deal with any database schema changes and like.

I'd hope to never work at a company like that again as SRE, my life was nightmare.
Referring to linux he said:

>Thus, it serves as a dojo for understanding computers better.

I have to disagree here. Using Linux doesn't mean you "understand" computers better. It just means you understand linux better. Every operating system abstracts the hardware in its own way. They are opinionated in how they do this with some shared fundamentals. Being extremely comfortable in linux means you are comfortable in how linux abstracts the hardware. That's all.

I am not trying to discredit linux as an OS here. Just not a fan of the elitist mentality that if you are not a linux user, then you don't know computers.
