Very true. My paternal grandfather lived well into his nineties, even as a smoker, as he was very active well into his 80s. Even when he touched 90, he could still pretty much walk around in his forest land to explore his property.

On the other hand, my paternal grandmother had a severe sweet tooth, and passed away from a heart condition. Her diabetes kept her very inactive for the most part, but even at 80, she could do a LOT of activities independently with little help. Passed away at 84.

My maternal grandfather was very active in his 70s, but he became sedentary and reclusive (partly because of my caretaker uncle who is an asshole, coupled with messy infamily fighting). Passed away at 82, after his second(!) heart attack.

My maternal grandmother is still alive and kicking ass, travelling the world over. Again, asshole uncle causes her a lot of tension , but her daughters have tried to keep her separated from him, so stress levels are low. For the record, she could travel from India to the US alone at her age.

It's sort of a combination of both. The library solves those problems by storing specific data in the database and then taking advantage of the database's ACID properties and transactions to make the guarantees.

Then the DBOS cloud platform optimizes those interactions between the database and code so that you get a superior experience to running locally.

I don't know if this is some kind of heresy, but here we go.

I don't think universities provide much value at all to the common student who is not going to be a PhD.

I went to a very well-known institution known for putting the students in a room with the professors, maybe two or three students, to one professor. My economics professor taught me one on one.

I still think, in the end, the work is mostly done alone, in a pile of books, on your own time.

Not with other students, and not in lectures, and not in tutorials.

This is a bit different from school where you can actually learn the material in class because, let's face it, school doesn't have a very deep curriculum.

So at university my impression is that they mainly tell you what to go and read about, and then you read about it yourself. The tutor is there to course correct you a bit, but they aren't going to do much other than save you a bit of time learning the orthodoxy of your subject. The lectures are a table of contents. At most, it's really just a guy telling you that you should know what an eigenvalue is, or you should have read about the ISLM model, and so on. For you to actually understand something, well, you have to have spent a lot of time in the books rearranging your mind.

Given that this is what you actually do at university, why have it this way?

Make an examination authority. "Here is the national linear algebra test. Anyone who wants to try it, sign up, and come to this hall on this date." Everyone who passes, whether they studied at home or went to fancy U, gets a paper that says they passed it. Do it as a 12 year old prodigy or a 75 year old grandma, you get a diploma.

Now, maybe there is already an authority that does this, I don't know. But it isn't very well known or authoritative.

The current incumbents are gatekeepers. Everybody thinks that smart kids go to the most prestigious universities, and that includes employers. It's a Schelling point that doesn't need to be there, and it allows the universities to extract a great deal of value from the kids.

If you made this authority of examinations, many people could learn the material and show their competence without incurring huge costs.

People could start working earlier. You could separate the coming-of-age experience from academic learning. Poor people could participate more.
Crowds generally like sequels and canon even if it makes films worse.

We did get a reboot of Star Trek with someone else playing Kirk. It was technically an in universe reboot and it was dumb. It probably would have been just as dumb if it wasn’t an in universe reboot.

Exactly.

LLMs will sometimes be inaccurate. So are humans. When LLMs are clearly better than humans for specific use cases, we don't need 100% perfection.

Autonomous cars will sometimes cause accidents. So do humans. When AVs are clearly safer than humans for specific driving scenarios, we don't need 100% perfection.
Very cool! Thanks for the share, looking forward to playing around with this.

One thing I would recommend is adding more info about what this tool is to the introduction page. Maybe even just the text that you used in this post. If someone had just linked it or I found the link elsewhere I wouldn't have known what it does from the current intro
If more people did this maybe everyone could tone it down a bit and go back to, “we don’t quite yet know” rather than having every one of these threads filled with “survivorship bias!!” nonsense.
I am confused. I assume you use camera that does not compress raw files. which vendor camera is that? Nikon compresses raws, Canon compresses raws, Sigma compresses raws, Sony compresses and processes (see "star eater") raws, most cameras process known defective pixels and subtract dark frame from long exposures before saving raw...

Is it some kind of industrial camera you are talking about maybe?
One of my favourite bits of trivia about Austrian law is that it is still defacto forbidden for a member of the Habsburg family to run for the Presidency. See: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Habsburg_Law

The Austrian president has mostly a representative/safeguarding function and currently held by a chain-smoking former Professor who was a member of the green party.
> Universities will have to start focusing on ROI.

In Europe, they have a simpler system. Education is paid for from taxes. If a student does well, they pay for it via taxes. If they don't, then they aren't crippled by debt.

The problem with the ROI approach is it still places too much burden on the student, and, well, life happens. Say you major in comp sci (or some other high-paying field) but shortly after graduation something happens which prevents you from working in the field. Sucks to be you.

And likewise it sets up universities to, as you say, "cut courses with poor returns." Like for example "teaching", because school teacher pay is crap, so it has a poor ROI.

I'm of the opinion that the current architectures are fundamentally ridden with "hallucinations" that will severely limit their practical usage (including very much what the hype thinks they could do). But this article puts an impossible limit to what it is to "not-hallucinate".

It essentially restates well known fundamental limitations of formal systems and mechanistic computation and then presents the trivial result that LLMs also share these limitations.

Unless some dualism or speculative supercomputational quantum stuff is invoked, this holds very much to humans too.
Bold (IDE) 0.3 – Why I'm Selling Preorders
I know there is a tendency to think of ultra-processed as bad, but perhaps a better way to think of these categories is that for the first two (or three) categories it is scientifically much easier to show that they are harmful. For the ultra-processed category there are so many chemical products inside the food, it is a lot harder to show harm or harmlessness.

Think of risk profiles rather than harm amounts.
Socialism is a term too broad to mean anything. When we say socialism, do we include states that provide healthcare systems as infrastructure, as is common across the world? Do we include the vast amounts of market interference represented by decisions about what crimes can be hidden behind a corporate veil, what companies win lucrative government contracts to have decades of non-competitive profits?

The attitude that the government shouldn't intervene against companies on the behalf of human rights has been tried for fifty years, and it is an unprecedented failure even in financial terms for at least roughly 80% of the population of one of the largest and wealthiest countries in the world in terms of real purchasing power. Even for many of us in higher income brackets, the resulting crumbling infrastructure and drastic wealth disparities leave much to be desired as a society to live in. Many of these problems have solutions, and calling them "socialism" is meaningless as an argument against them
> We shouldn't see the government as solution to too many problems. If we overdo on it, we get socialism. And we know how it always ends.

The "franchise" novels are similar. I started reading the original James Bond books, but after a few it became clear that they were all the same formula, and I gave it up.

TV miniseries suffer from the similar problems. See "Lost" for incoherency.
The author forgets to mention yet another dimension of the problem - a direct political one.

Loan forgiveness ... in essence, a form of vote-buying ... vote for me, and we'll forgive your loan (aka someone else will pay the loan).

If there is a chance that, at some point, we forgive loans - why would the cost of education ever decrease?
Not true... people were talking about this in the late 90's as being a bad idea because of misaligned incentives.

Loans are supposed to be inherently risky to the bank issuing the loan. Managing that risk is their business, and the reward for doing it right is the interest payments.

I remember people back then talking about "if the loans are non-dischargeable, then the bank is pretty much guaranteed it's money back, making it a no risk proposition to them. What's stopping them from becoming student loan mills? What's stopping colleges from asking for more and more money if the banks just lend it no risk?"

These ideas were out there, but get drowned out by the voices of the big pocket companies that are proposing the legislation. Tons of articles talking about the risk being overblown, the results are wonderful, etc. Think about the kids, good for 'murica, etc.

The big messages you hear over and over again in the media are being payed for by groups that aren't particularly interested in benefiting you. This is not a new problem, it's been this way for a long while.

And here we are 25 years later. Wondering how we got here. When anyone with a brain at the time knew this was coming.

The problem is only getting worse because of media consolidation and the vast reach of the internet into everyone's eyeballs. Be skeptical very of what you read.

If we go along the route of "asking the government to ban every line of business where people waste money getting no value for it or even getting harmed, being driven by systematic delusion", as it is with the higher education - we will shoot ourselves in the foot in a massive massive way as this will kill almost all web startups as this is what they are - use manipulative tactics, knowingly false expectation and social effects to force people to spend money on... well nothing really. And the lower your chance of getting something in return, the more you pay (classic example are dating apps). I go to startup events frequently. Took me a few years to accept the truth that speaking about any industry (their slang for it is "vertical") - well, any except porn - like dating, pharma, so-called "nutra", etc. they actually mean "scam in the field of X", and the main idea of every successful one is "a genius way to obscure it is a scam".

For God's sake, it will even kill custom software development which most people sitting here, do for a living - because it is the same exact thing - vast majority of clients never get what they want and even if they did they won't be able to make the money on the useless "products" they invented, because this is nothing but a systematic delusion that's moving them. Almost all of them see themselves as genius inventors of the next world-changing thing but they are in fact random nobodies who raised cash from other random nobodies, to waste it on something that makes their contractors laugh so badly they even refrain from doing video calls. It's even worse than higher education. I seen multiple software dev companies throwing lavish parties on the April Fool's day as "professional holiday of our clients".

Should we first look at ourselves in the mirror before blaming the college cabal for doing the same as we do ourselves, just more successfully?
I think that a student debt could be replaced by dischargeable debt if you churned $100,000 of credit card cash advances in the same month, paid down your student debts, and then after the one year zero interest period expires, declare bankruptcy on your credit card debts that replaced your student loan debts. Can anyone confirm?

> What I mean by this is are you just describing people who were born in the 1930s? The fact that the ones that are left are mostly typical would be expected.

People born in the 1930's were 30 in the 1960's, and if you think that means a lot of religious/social conservatism, you probably don't know much about American history. Most of these people adopted more conservative ideals later in life, which happens to literally every generation.

By the way, it sounds like the people who you are talking about have a history of very much overworking their bodies to the point of injury, and that is also pretty clearly bad for you. I don't think you are guaranteed to live a long time if you take care of yourself, but I think it's pretty clearly true that you will maximize your chances if you do.

Yes, like I said before, this hasn't de-stratified the job market. Jobs that want to select applicants by class can find plenty of ways to do so easily

E.G.: More expensive vocational programs that haven't been subsidized, selecting among universities for especially "prestigious" (read "class-signaling") ones, baking cultural assumptions of the upper classes into the expectations surrounding "professionalism" in the interview process, etc
> If we overdo on it, we get socialism. And we know how it always ends.

First, no, we have some high-visibility examples of dictators claiming to be socialists, several of whom had purges of other internal opponents who said socialism was a different thing to what they were doing.

We don't point to the "Democratic People's Republic of Korea"* or "The Democratic Republic of Congo" then say of Democracy (or of republics) "And we know how it always ends".

Second, there's a huge gap between what the USA considers "dangerously lefty" and what is seen in northern Europe today, let alone states today which are or were explicitly socialist such as the USSR.

I didn't mean to imply that it was merely a problem with willpower.

I have a lot of scripts that started as me automating/documenting a manual process I would have executed interactively. The script format is more amenable to putting up guardrails. A few even did get complex enough that I either rewrote them from the ground up or translated them to a different language.

For me, the "line in the sand" is not so much whether something is "safer" in a different language. I often find this to be a bit of a straw-man that stands in for skill issues - though I won't argue that shell does have a deceptively higher barrier to entry. For me, it is whether or not I find myself wanting to write a more robust test suite, since that might be easier to accomplish with Ginkgo or pytest or `#include <yourFavorateTestLibrary.h>`.
> Say you major in comp sci (or some other high-paying field) but shortly after graduation something happens which prevents you from working in the field. Sucks to be you.

That's why the article's saying you should be able to declare bankruptcy.

> And likewise it sets up universities to, as you say, "cut courses with poor returns." Like for example "teaching", because school teacher pay is crap, so it has a poor ROI.

Teaching is relatively well paid and there are huge numbers of jobs. It's highly likely that a teacher could repay loans. There are plenty of degrees far less capable of providing employment than teaching.
I'd like to see them sell a dock and turn the phone into a full blown gaming console that you can pick up and take with you, like the Switch.
> But why don’t market forces correct these issues?

Another theory: The value creation is not linked to the value capture. So market forces make a bad feedback loop.

Look, I'm totally pro business, but business is only "good" at allocating capital when value capture and creation are linked. Education isn't like that. The closest we have are the bootcamp schools, where they take a cut out of your first 2 year's salary if you find a job or nothing if you don't.

When capture/creation are not linked, you need a different social organization method. "Government" or "Religion/non-profit" come to mind. Perhaps others have additional suggestions.
Bitcoin network hits record level of power but falling profits push miners to AI
I treat them as always hallucinating and it just so happens that, by accident, they sometimes produce results that resemble intentional, considered or otherwise veritable to the human observer. The accident is sometimes of a high probability, but still an accident. Humans are similar, but we are the standard for what’s to be considered a hallucination, clinically speaking. For us, a hallucination is a cause of concern. For llms, it’s just one of all the possible results. Monkeys bashing on a typewriter. This difference is an essential one, imo.

I have/had similar thoughts. For example: it's all just various hydrocarbons that are going to be chopped up by enzymes, so what's the difference exactly which atom is where?

My guess that the "processed food is poison" people are only by chance hitting on something. They have zero evidence and zero supporting data.

However, I've come to suspect that the gut is a very complex thing, with a computer in it, and highly connected to the brain. Once you start to go down that line of thinking, I think it's plausible that they've identified a real problem. One possibility among many is that "corporate food" is the result of a giant A/B test series over a hundred years that has machine-learned the model embodied in the gut-computer. It's essentially a DoS attack. And so on. Suggest folk consider what if the gut has a neural network with various sensors and subject to training data.

People mistake probability for certainty too readily. If you show me someone who is 400 lbs at 29 and someone who is 150 lbs at the same age, I would take an even-odds bet on the 150 lb person dying later. I think you would, too. I could be wrong, and there's a lot of uncertainty there, but that doesn't mean that there's absolutely no link between health and lifespan.
During the months where there are an average of 10k illegal crossings per day, some would argue that the border is open enough to be porous to about a towns worth of humans per day.

One big difference is that at least some people have a healthy sense for when they may be wrong. This sort of meta-cognitive introspection is currently not possible for an LLM. For instance, let's say I asked someone "do you know the first 10 elements of the periodic table of elements?" Most people would be able to accurately say "honestly I'm not sure what comes after Helium." But an LLM will just make up some bullshit, at least some of the time.

> The compiler should just know that my `Int` should be a `Maybe Int` and cast it for me.

The compiler should not "just" know it. It would know it because we told it how.

Consider a function that takes a float and returns a complex number. I then change the function to take a complex number ("Complex Float" in Haskell if I read the docs right), and returns a float.

I could then tell the compiler, by implementing an implicit cast operator, how to cast float to complex. The implicit part is then that the compiler tries it without me telling it to use the cast explicitly.

Then any code that worked with the old function should work perfectly fine using the modified function without modifications, since per definition the reals are contained in the complex numbers.

This is how I do it in several languages I've used.
