I’ve had good luck hiring contractors for Haskell related problems for much the same reason that hiring full time engineers to work with Haskell has gone well: the average quality of Haskell developers is high, and there are more people who want to work with Haskell than there are opportunities.

That probably wouldn’t scale up if you were hiring many tens or hundred of contractors. My experience with that degree of outsourcing hasn’t been positive irrespective of language though.
Strange headline for a very positive article about Waymo safety
Why do you assume that its devs who are slacking in waterfall? Devs enjoy deving, usually there are either discoveries during execution or change of mind of client or pms figure out that their guestimation for year ahead was not exact. Surprise, surprise and who is going to have crunch time? Devs of course.
The narrative of "If you don't like unfettered illegal immigration you're a Nazi" has really lost its stopping power. No one in the centre believes that anymore and most mainstream political parties see the problem quite clearly. What you decry as the rise of fascism is really just the decline in persuasiveness of this tired rhetoric.

TFA covers this (I think, it got real jargony at times):

>Declarative processing of configurations generated via AI is a way to ground the AI, this requires a lot of work since you don't just offload requests to an AI but rather your processing logic serves as a guardrail to ensure what's being done makes sense. In order for AI to be used in applications that require reliability, this work will need to be done.

When I was playing around with AI for data analysis last year, the best results for me came from something like this but more on the imperative side: RAG with snippets of R code. My first attempt was taking snippets directly from existing scripts and adding comments to explain the purpose and caveats. That didn't work well until I put in a lot of effort replacing the "common knowledge" parts with variables or functions. For example, no more `sex = 1`, but `sex = "male"`. Common tasks across scripts were refactored into one or a few functions with a couple parameters, and then placed in a package. The threshold for applying the DRY principle was lowered.

In the end, I decided a custom solution wasn't worth the effort. The data had identifying details of people, so any generated code would have to be checked and run by analysts who already had access to the data. But the process of refactoring stuff into descriptively-named objects was such a big benefit, the AI code wasn't doing enough to justify the effort. Again, this was using a custom system made by a total ML noob (myself) with GPT 3.5. The execs banned usage of LLMs until they could deal with the policy and privacy concerns, so I don't know what's possible these days.
Pls talk more or write some blog post about this approach
> It’s also possible that Waymo's erratic braking contributed to a few of those rear-end crashes

It's possible confuse other drivers without technically making a mistake. The article doesn't say whether Waymos are rear-ended more often than human drivers, but it's plausible that this could be the case. Human drivers have a mental model of what other drivers will or won't do, and that model might not work well for autonomous vehicles. It's very possible that Waymos are faster to put on the brakes in unclear situations than a human driver would be, and/or that they categorize different situations as dangerous than a human driver would. I'm sure human drivers will eventually adapt to the behavior of these robots sharing the road with them, but that might take a bit of time and experience.
For many of us programming is a means to an end. I couldn't care less about compilers.
There is an important issue with reducing this problem to linguistic conventions of how we use words.

'This block of ice is actually made up of lot of atoms and will melt away soon, but meanwhile it is a useful abstraction to treat it as a single block'

Compatibilists tackle the free-will issue in a similar way, Dennet says something like 'This chess program is perfectly deterministic, but it has free will - Even its programmer has to guess, as to what is its next move.'

The above usage of terms is OK at some level, but there is something independent of definitions - How we actually see the self, and the cause of actions. When somebody insults me, does it feel like the insult is describing I/me or does it feel like describing a bundle of thoughts/habits? Was the bad thing done by 'me' or was it done by desire and anger? Even if these are processes, we can't help but reify them into unitary agents and actions.

A major claim made by Hindu/Buddhist teachings is that once there is a shift in *internal perception* of how actions are happening, towards a more analytical view which breaks up the ego(ahamkara), this causes a major shift leading to liberation from cycles of suffering.

In Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, there is an analysis of thoughts and feelings behind actions, with a goal of liberation from chronic problems. This is very similar to a stage of manana(intellectual contemplation of certain statements in Vedanta).

The fact that 500k people per year do go through the cave system and it hasn't collapsed yet is empirical disproof of your claim "You can't have your cake and eat it."

Nobody is saying this cave will cease to exist if there's some Cheetohs or even a dear carcass in it. They're saying that every disturbance runs the risk of destroying what is interesting to us about the caves.

There are literally countless caves that are far, far less interesting than Carlsbad. The hope is that this continues to be a unique and interesting one.

Your other comment that a dear carcass wouldn't cause harm "irreparably" reveals your underlying confusion. There's no concept of repair or harm or irreparability as far as nature goes. We know that Carlsbad is interesting to us in the state it's currently in. Contamination could make it even more interesting/valuable to us, or it could destroy its unique value to us. The cave's caretakers obviously believe the latter is the more likely outcome, and in either case we almost certainly will not be able to "repair" it back to its current state.
An interesting article, despite the somewhat petulant tone.
Huh okay thanks for commenting, I was very confused about what exactly I was reading until you prompted me to look him up. Interesting guy — he’s a full time professional academic in philosophy, and yet writes like a hacker, even going as far as to skip APA citations in favor of undescribed hyperlinks! The style is a fascinating mix of analytic (such as only giving the time of day to recent theories, and constricting his argument to an explicit outline) and a more casual blog style. He’s also been writing about exactly this — perhaps in slightly less unified (hehe) terms - since at least 2007: https://www.faculty.ucr.edu/~eschwitz/

If you find the time, could you share what the big takeaways were that had a profound effect? I’m guessing it was a practical exercise that trained you to more accurately introspect, but that’s just a guess. I’m way too deep into all this philosophy stuff already so I mostly got indignant disagreement out of this essay, and I’d like to see it in a more productive light!
If you would like to point out a library which allows one to use the "CAD industry's well established modeling paradigm" in OpenSCAD, I would be glad to try it out.

By definition there’s a difference, but realistically most refugees are lying migrants, claiming refugee status when in fact they are not in real danger and just want the economic benefits.

The question is why did the author feel compelled to bring up this bizarre remark about noses twice in the article, it’s rather out of the blue and several of us in this thread found it odd. It’s just a little strange. Curious, is all.
It's not a serious problem I have, just saying I like OpenSCAD, I have been able to generate every shape I've ever needed to create, and it would do everything I want if it was possible to generate true curves (because I farm out the manufacturing).

Does anyone know how they'll implement the runtime constants?
It's very much the opposite.

LLMs free me from the nuts and bolts of the "how", for example I don't have to manually type out a loop. I just write a comment and the loop magically appears. Sometimes I don't have to prompt it at all.

With my brain freed from the drudgery of everyday programming, I have more mental cycles to dedicate to higher concerns such as overall architecture, and I'm just way more productive.

For experienced programmers this is a godsend.

Less experienced developers lack the ability to mentally "see" how software should be architected in a way that balances the concerns, so writing a loop a bit faster it's not as much of an advantage. Also, they lack the reflexes to instantly decide if generated code is correct or incorrect.

LLMs are limited by the user's decision speed, the LLM generates code for you but you have to decide whether to accept or reject. If it takes me 1 second to decide to accept code that would have taken me 10 seconds to physically type, then I'm saving 9 seconds, which really adds up. For a junior developer, LLMs may give negative productivity if it takes them longer to decide if the LLM's version is correct than it would have taken them to type whatever they were going to write in the first place.

It was once said by a famous african dictator:

“There is freedom of speech, but I cannot guarantee freedom after speech.”

― Forest Whitaker

So maybe it is like this. It's a funny thing to say, because in this mindset there is freedom literally to do anything. Consequences come after, minutes, hours, days, years, but after and not before, at least not until OpenAI-Google's new "PrescientCrimeCAItcher" comes online.

These "community guidelines" are quite frustrating because a major communication modality presently does not have freedom of speech, it has removal of speech it does not like. So that's an interesting loophole legalese-wise. Presently these are private sector companies running addicting entertaining boards from which they serve ads for profit. If these are instead made to be "utilities" like power or water, utilities of communication, I would imagine the calculus would change
It’s the same. Flykting = refugee, invandrare = migrant. Or just migrant = migrant.

Of course there are native moochers and if we could offload them to another country that wants to take responsibility for them great. Since there aren’t any that I know of, outside of western countries wanting to take responsibility for non-western countries’ social and economic shortcomings, it’s not viable. Do you see rich middle eastern countries taking in any refugees from anywhere in any significant numbers? Many of those countries are in better economic standing than European counties.

In the meantime, we can take care of our own and they can take care of their own, if that’s their culture; which may not be the case and it’s up to them to shape their own society how they want. We had to shed blood to get where we are with wars of independence as well as a civil war. Time for them to man up and shape their own societies to their own customs and liking.

We don’t need to be the Nannie’s of the world. We need to take care of our own problems, of which there are many, including homelessness, drug addiction, depreciated wages often exacerbated by cheap labor. No, I’m with the Bernie of the early nineties.

I'm a fan of self-driving vehicles (can we please call them auto-autos?) because they are, as this article points out, already safer than human drivers.

Still, it is and always has been completely and totally insane to test these heavy fast robots on public streets. I never in a million years would have thought we would do that.

The obvious thing to do is:

A) Start with light slow robots, like a golf cart covered in foam, and work your way up to Knight Industries Two Thousand. Going directly for KITT is a fetish.

B) Test it in one of those artificial cities with, you know, people who have at least signed waivers to be human test dummies for your two-ton high-speed killer robots?

I don’t think we need to force people to pay into retirement funds, especially if we all agree that they’re not effective. What I mean by an ETF is that, instead of the government taking 8% of my income, I actively save that 8% in an ETF (or even bonds). After 25 years or so, those who invest in ETFs will likely see better compound returns compared to those contributing to state-run pension funds.

As for your question about countries that don’t take income tax but rather allocate a portion of income to a personal, non-government-backed retirement account—take a look at Brazil's Fundo de Garantia do Tempo de Serviço (FGTS) as an example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundo_de_Garantia_do_Tempo_de_....

> what countries specifically don’t take income tax, but instead take a cut of income and put it into a non-government backed retirement account associated specifically to that person

Government will never "avoid taking income tax", but instead they will take your income tax and force the employer to finance the employee's retirement account.
That’s a really cool idea. I’ll think about it some more, because it sounds like a feasible implementation for this.

As part of an NIH consortium I work with two teams that are collecting multi-scale anatomical data on the human vagus nerve with one of the objectives being to start to get a handle on the variability between individuals. The variability that the experimental teams are seeing is beyond anything I expected, though admittedly my assumptions were naive. The branching structure and routing of the nerves is basically unique per human and we are in the processes of determining whether there are invariant rules (e.g. for branch ordering) that apply across all individuals. And that is at the level of gross anatomy. So we aren't even done with gross anatomy, despite many biologists thinking that the foundations are complete and have been since the 16th century. Turns out that if you want to be able to apply our knowledge of gross anatomy for more complex clinical use cases we need significantly more data about basic variability in structure so that we know what additional data we need to collect for each individual.
