That's an illogical counterargument. The absence of published research output does not imply the absence of intelligent brain patterns. What if someone was intelligent but just wasn't interested in astronomy?

I think a particularly useful "feature" of the brain is it can often identify when it doesn't have a fast path (or the fast path is broken) for something and then revert to trying inefficient and generic approaches, even after the optimal learning period has passed.

This is a start difference to LLMs where it's either learned or not, "just add noise". Models like o1 take things in a very small step in that kind of direction.

> Usually, such a ban would destroy a media platforms’ business model, but browser-based experiences are fine for viewing photos and videos and sending messages (in contrast, most games can’t even run). And while apps tend to offer better user experiences and far simpler payment processes, most OnlyFans customers aren’t dissuaded by the need to use a browser, nor the extra hoops involved in manually entering a credit card number

This is a baffling section where the author goes out of their way to bash browsers vs apps. Maybe there are a lot of cons to apps that browsers don't have. Basically all of the sleights against browsers in this section are not true. When I buy something from amazon, from my browser, I definitely do not need to manually enter my credit card in every time.

Generally I think it is actually pretty much safe unless it has rained heavily recently. The last time I looked at the data, much of the harbor and Hudson have bacteria counts that are consistently within the safe-for-bathing parameters. The East River is the most polluted, however it also has strong and changing currents that make it less interesting for swimming.

Ultimately I think there’s just kind of a general inertia against it—a public perception that the water is gross (as it certainly was for generations), lack of facilities to easily enter the water, and a city government that’s not especially interested in promoting it, probably for liability reasons primarily.

Personally I’d love to see the Central Park reservoir made into a swimming place. As I understand it, it’s never actually used as a reservoir anymore and would be perfect for swimming if they built an entry point. Instead they arrest people who get in.
Similar to how job listings often ask for LinkedIn, I wonder how long until there is a field for OnlyFans or PornHub creator accounts. Dystopian and depraved, sounds perfect for this godless timeline.
Uber doesn’t have a self driving business anymore. That was shut down after they killed a person in Arizona during testing. They divested much of it into Aurora, which I believe Uber still has a stake in.

How this makes sense for Uber is that they don’t want to be left out when robotaxis replace human-driven ride hailing vehicles.
I remember reading that one engineer spent 6 years designing „ventilation for seats 40-80” on one of the larger Airbuses. It seems like the amount of design and engineering work required for a prototype of a complete aircraft (assuming you buy the engines) is just immense.

Agree. Quercetin did help with recovery, but so did eating the equivalent amount of foods that contain it: Red Onions, Red Grapes, Berries, dark green veggies. Rather a lot of those of course, about 1 to 1.5 kg combined. I remember the clinically effective dose to fight colds and so on to be 500mg, but my body dumped quite a lot of that into the toilet, so I halved the dose on another occasion and the effect was the same and I recovered quicker that when not taking it. But again, those foods in adequately high amounts did enough, probably because they also give energy, vitamins, minerals as well.

Agree on the collagen as well, especially for recovery after injuries and after surgery.

By this logic we should ban all extra marital relationships as well. Add to that mandatory DNA tests for all kids just in case.

People will do things in private that they do not want known. No amount of legislation will fix it.
Supposing the premise that these things were entirely unhelpful to society, I would argue that the obscenity specifically is not what makes these things unhelpful.

While I absolutely agree with you and your approach, would you mind elaborating what kind of configuration compliance you are referring to in this statement? I suppose you do not mean any kind of configuration that your Puppet code produces as that configuration is "monitored", or rather managed, by Puppet.

I'm glad to learn more about the incident itself, but honestly the article does not give me a real reason to doubt that the phenomenon is real. Calling it a "diagnosis" is an attempt to medicalize it, which seems ridiculous as it is so incredibly situation-specific. And they in turn use this to attempt to undermine the "diagnosis" by a psychiatrist who never met with the patient; clearly meeting the patient and being able to interrogate them should be a significant part of a medical diagnosis, but this is not that, so it's an irrelevant criticism.

The hostages were held at gunpoint under the threat of execution, and even after a successful rescue with no hostages injured, they sided with their captors against the authorities. Nothing here seems to contradict that or the phenomenon.

I wonder how the NPV algo is done.

Prima facia, the way Id tackle it if I have a few extra registers is

1. Id write the exponent as n = R*m, where R is an integer. R = 2 is probably best.

2. Then Id do pascal's triangle (every element is a simple combination comb[x,y]) for the expansion of the exponent (if R = 2 binomial expansion) and add in ascending order.

3. Then raise the answer to the power of m.

Of course, I can iteratively do steps 1-2 if the interest rate is very small.
I'd like to see more data on this because a few things don't add up to what the title is claiming.

>About a fifth of the hard drives it receives from the media industry for service are completely dead, said [...] Iron Mountain, which specializes in [...] data recovery.

This isn't a music industry source saying 20% of their archive drives are dead. This is a data recovery company stating that 20% of the drives _it receives from the music industry_ are unrecoverable.

I'm making up numbers here but say the music industry has trouble with 5% of their drives, so they send them to Iron Mountain to be recovered, and then 20% _of those_ are dead. That's a lot fewer drives than the title implies.

>However, just like tape, hard drives also deteriorate — with most commercial drives rated to last for only three to five years.

It sounds like the author is referencing lifetime run hours. A drive spinning in a PC or server for 5 years, sure. A drive sitting offline in a controlled storage room for 5 years, shouldn't just stop working.
None of what you say is being debated. What is being debated is the fact that they market themselves as a creator-owned co-op (which is incorrect and borderline fraudulent).

I think there is a middleground that to me it seems like this over simplifies both sides of this.

For many of the "complex" things like lambdas there are frameworks like Serverless that makes managing and deploying it as easy (if not easier frankly) than static code on a VM.

Not every workload also scales at the same time, we have seen new things that got very successful and crashed right out the door because it could not properly scale up.

I agree that you don't need an over engineered "perfect" infrastructure, but just saying stick it on a VM also seems like it is too far of a swing in the other direction.

That ignores the cost side of running several VM's vs the cost of smaller containers or lambdas that only run when there is actual use.

Plus there is something to be said about easier local development which some things like Serverless and containers give you.

You may not need to setup a full k8s cluster, but if you are going with containers why would you run your own servers vs sticking the container in something managed like ECS.

That would depend entirely on her circumstances. Is she a professional helping disabled people like my example above? That's laudable. A self-employed dominatrix with a select clientele? Sounds lucrative. A popular OnlyFans starlet just making some money on the side during her studies? Clever. Participating in explicit forms of BDSM porn? If she does so of her own volition, with the consent of all parties involved, for a fair pay and without lasting harm? Cool as long as she's working with professionals with a good reputation.

In all of those cases I would council her to the best of my abilities on safety and long-term planning, if she'd let me. And of course, as any parent, I would worry about her safety. But hey, I'd worry if she went paragliding or mountain climbing too.

Honestly, I would be more disappointed if she became a lawyer in the pocket of, say, Amazon or AirBnB. Or a politician for some extreme right political party.

Would I be happy if she was a sex worker in some seedy part of town with a pimp hovering over her? Of course not. But that is not dismissive of sex work as such, rather of exploitation and coercion. All of the examples above avoid that.

I would recommend to look for a manual lever - either Flair or Cafelat Robot, or models with a boiler like La Pavoni or Olympia Cremina if milk is required.

It is easier to adjust flow and pressure in many cases than grind size. Also you will notice that a flat pressure profile is not that good - you will see and feel when puck start to degrade and you have to go down with pressure. People tend to make science out of everything these days, but you can perfectly go by feel if you have immediate feedback. As a plus, all these machines are incredibly simple, robust and serviceable. The Cremina I've got is from 96 and has all chances to outlive me.

The only thing I really would pay attention to is ratio - is can shift the taste a lot between sour and bitter.

The prime suspect of the novel is a serial killer who cross-dresses. A book written years after she started campaigning near-daily about the threat of trans women. Those media outlets are being very misleading.

The Spectator is a right-wing British newspaper with dozens of anti-trans articles and op-eds. The Scotsman and The Guardian also have very anti-trans skews. (The latter less so, but definitely more anti than pro overall.)

It's fair to say that fearmongering about trans people isn't the central focus of the novel, but she obviously knew exactly what she was doing and why.
Recognizing that it is a riddle isn't impressive, true. But the duration of its reasoning is irrelevant, since the riddle works on misdirection. As I keep saying here, give someone uninitiated the 7 wives with 7 bags going (or not) to St Ives riddle and you'll see them reasoning for quite some time before they give you a wrong answer.

If you are tricked about the nature of the problem at the outset, then all reasoning does is drive you further in the wrong direction, making you solve the wrong problem.
It's the kind of idea that is captivating from a literary perspective but doesn't actually make any sense if you think about it, which is why it has showed up in so many movies, tv shows, novels, etc. My favorite subversion is in Die Hard where the person on TV is explaining that the victims are likely bonding with their captors while a scene plays of Gruber and his gang terrorizing people who are huddled in fear.
Hey folks, original author here. It seems like people here are really connecting with the specifics of the code review example. The main point of the article is really "what we learn in reviewing code in community open source might not transfer well to providing feedback to human behaviors in work environments".

Please feel free to keep engaging on the code review bits (a timeless topic among programmers for sure) but I'd also encourage people to expand discussion out to how we manage humans and give them feedback in a way that both helps them grow and makes them feel supported at the same time.

Cheers,

1) That’s still losing.

2) I’m not sure the military was doing just fine in all of those. Vietnam comes to mind, but also Afghanistan—reading the Afghanistan papers, the brass seems to have given up on any kind of actual goals or accountability in favor of a system that let them continually cycle officers through and let them claim they succeeded at their mission (funny, they all keep achieving their mission, but facts on the ground remain exactly the same or worse!), for years and years. Fighting fitness may have been OK throughout, but military leadership in the military itself was absolutely not committed to any kind of winnable mission, let alone to actually winning it. That may have been driven (I’m sure it was) largely by civilian leadership, but the entire upper echelon of military leadership betrayed their commands and the soldiers counting on them, to keep up a convenient (to their careers, and a bunch of junior and mid-tier officers who got a big boost to their careers…) political fiction at the cost of any hope of something resembling actual success, and all it took was shitting all over their soldiers and the trust of the American people.

I bet Iraq (part 2) was similar. I have some grave concerns about the state of our more-politicized-and-static professional officer corps since roughly Vietnam.
His system prompt is too specific. It worked for me with GPT 4o using this prompt:

----

System prompt: Please note that words coming to you are tokenized, so when you get a task that has anything to do with the exact letters in words, you should solve those using the python interpreter.

Prompt: How many r's are in the word strawberry?

----

This whole thing is a non-problem. Adding in this hint into the system prompt the whole topic is solved once and for all.
I would argue that if the training data would include this wisdom, it would be even a non-problem without the system prompt.

>Is this a huge problem?

It depends on what the company is trying to build.

The dollar amount of debt a company can take is limited by its revenue because it requires ongoing payments to service that debt. Whether it's debt from a bank business loan or by issuing corporate bonds, they both require real revenue to make those payments.

Equity investments don't have a ceiling capped by the company's present day earnings. This is important if the company has ambitions to build something that can't get any meaningful revenue on day 1. Instead, they need the money to pay salaries, cloud bills, office rent, etc to build the product and hope the later revenues will justify the investment. E.g. the early Google startup in 1998 took $25 million VC investment and didn't have meaningful revenue until +4 years later in 2002. A company with $0 revenue can't get a $25 million loan with a 4-year deferred payment plan. Yes, there's such a thing as "convertible debt-to-equity" but that's a financial vehicle for investors that doesn't apply to co-operatives.

The motors in the drive train are Technic'ally Lego:

[from another source]

> It’s underpinned by a steel chassis and conventional suspension, although power comes from no less than 968 Lego motors in eight motor packs in homage to the P1’s V-8 engine. Each of those packs is made from 96 Lego Power motors and together they can propel the Lego P1 to 40 mph.

Their math seems off, it should either be 768 motors (for 96 per pack) or more motors (121) per pack.
I feel like it almost always starts well, given the full picture, but then for non-trivial stuff, gets stuck towards the end. The longer the conversation goes, the more wheel-spinning occurs and before you know it, you have spent an hour chasing that last-mile-connectivity.

For complex questions, I now only use it to get the broad picture and once the output is good enough to be a foundation, I build the rest of it myself. I have noticed that the net time spent using this approach still yields big savings over a) doing it all myself or b) keep pushing it to do the entire thing. I guess 80/20 etc.

Worrying about whether your web or app servers need or should use cloud architecture belies the much, much bigger consideration of how and where to store your data. Specifically, the economics of getting that data out of where you decide to put it first. Everything follows that decision.

Want to run bare metal? OK, guess you're running your databases on bare metal. Do you have the DBA skills to do so? I would wager that an astounding number of founders who find themselves intrigued by the low cost of bare metal do not, in fact, have the necessary DBA skills. They just roll the dice on yet another risk in an already highly risky venture.

It was the first online cohort of DC so I didn't realize how intensely difficult it'd be. I'd taken GIOS with Ada which was gentle, so I figured DC wouldn't be significantly harder.

It was a good life experience even though I wound up sacrificing my 4.0 by a few grade points. In hindsight, had I realized how steep the curve would be for DC, I'd have pushed a bit harder to squeeze out a few more test cases, but I was pretty mentally defeated at the time and felt like I'd exhausted all of the ideas I had on the projects multiple times over.

I found DC more difficult than compilers by a wide margin because of the nondeterminism, debugging difficulty and trying to figure out what the test harness was even doing. Compilers involved writing more lines of code, but it was manageable, synchronous greenfield application design.
