You will have to read the book to find what you are specifically looking for.

The basic idea is that the space around your body to the maximum distance reachable by your arms/legs called "peripersonal space" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Graziano#Peripersonal_...) is integrated into a larger body schema maintained (partially) in the somatotopic map and its homunculi. Proprioception is part but not whole of it and how it might be regulated by higher executive functions like focus/attention is AFAIK not clear.

>In much the same way the internet interprets censorship as damage and routes around it

I think this is an outdated meme that has not proven very true. I won't go into a full rant unless you want, but long story short the architecture of the internet has turned out to be more fragile than expected.

>Society views the fascistic impulses of those in control stifling innovation and growth as damage

Maybe not society as a whole, but certainly sub-societies do, so yes. In this case, Lazarus group is a sub-society that is parasitic to society at large.

I find that hard to believe. I've always found the Arch Wiki to be excellent and very up to date. Do you have any examples of articles which document outdated ways to do things?

It's not some extremist on YouTube, disinfecting your groceries was the official recommendation of many countries worldwide, including most of Europe. I couldn't say how many people actually followed the recommendation , but I would bet it's way more than a tiny number.
> Move most good careers that do not require a college degree out of the country for the benefit of shareholders

The economic law of comparative advantage means that expenses go to where they are the cheapest.

The solution is not to punish companies, because if you do then the entire company moves out of the country.

The solution is to look at why foreign labor is cheaper, and what can be done to make domestic labor more competitive.
99% is way too low for production use.

Yes, it’s hard to know understand the (oft-maligned) “Business Side” doesn’t bow and genuflect when they enter a room full of programmers.
Yes, but the handoff can fail in the same way (it can't know if the thing it's handing off to actually got it). But the application can also just be resilient to that with idempotent operations and have the handoff be at-least-once.
> we're assuming perfect communication between the process/driver/hardware receiving the packets and doing the duplicate detection and the process which wants to receive the message exactly once

My claim is not that you can provide exactly-once delivery unconditionally. My claim is that if you can provide at-least-once delivery then you can turn that into exactly-once delivery. The word "delivery" is not rigorously defined, but IMO any reasonable definition necessarily entails a certain level of reliability at the receiving node.

I'm glad that everyone is calling out that it is in fact a very good thing that the President is prohibited from arbitrarily deciding who to gift free college to. Loan forgiveness should rarely if ever be used. Too much opportunity for abuse by politicians who would love to dangle it as a carrot during election season.
> Real top-tiers programmers actually don’t feel threatened by LLMs.

They should, because LLMs are coming for them also, just maybe 2-3 years later than for programmers that aren't "real top-tier".

The idea that human intellect is something especially difficult to replicate is just delusional. There is no reason to assume so, considering that we have gone from hole card programming to LLMs competing with humans in a single human lifetime.

I still remember when elite chessplayers were boasting "sure, chess computers may beat amateurs, but they will never beat a human grandmaster". That was just a few short years before the Deep Blue match.

The difference is that nobody will pay programmers to keep programming once LLMs outperform them. Programmers will simply become as obsolete as horse-drawn carriages, essentially overnight.
Hey, I think you should consider talking to a doctor about what you're experiencing.

Careful with your stereotypes.

I'm not wearing a Red Hat, but I am running one.

Which reminds me of a prank I pulled a few years ago. I was working at a startup that had been acquired by a BigCo. (Alas, I joined after the acquisition.)

One of the founders decided to put his newfound wealth to a good purpose: fighting white supremacy. This was during the pandemic, so we had a going-away party on Zoom and shared little video tributes to him.

When it was my turn, I told him, "I want you to know exactly how I feel about your new project. I didn't have time to order an embroidered hat, so I mocked it up with my printer and an old baseball cap. It's a MAKA hat."

I deliberately slurred the pronunciation so it almost sounded like that other acronym.

I held up the hat with my finger covering the spot where "Great" would be, and put it on my head. And then I moved my hand away for the reveal.

The word was "Kind": Make America Kind Again.

Everyone loved it!
> Hold these debtors to standards that aren't applied to other types of debtors. You cannot discharge them through bankruptcy

That's because other types of debts are backed up with collateral. 18 year olds have no collateral, and so can easily just declare bankruptcy - and what is the note holder gonna do about it?

That means the note holder needs some sort of guarantee to get paid back, otherwise they are simply not going to grant the loan.
This is demonstrably not true. People also bullshit, a lot, but nowhere near the level of an LLM. You won't get fake citations, complete with publication year and ISBN, in a conversation with a human. StackOverflow is not full of down voted answers of people suggesting to use non-existent libraries with complete code examples.
This should be a once-off purchase instead of a subscription, in my opinion. If there’s one customer who’ll want an app to work when infrastructure goes down, it’s a prepper.
If you torture a person in their own home, I'm surprised that you don't go to prison for life.

Hey mate, I tried your extension and I love the idea. I don’t want to be rude, just honest, but in my opinion, it’s in such an early development stage that it can be quite frustrating and overall not very good.

I won’t go off-topic with actual details (many of which I’m sure you’ve already considered), but I’d be more than happy to share some ideas if you’d like And not on the Chrome store, because I don't want to rate it just yet. (5* for the concept though )
Yes. And it doesn’t work very well. Lots of late deliveries or reduced project scopes (often still late and over budget, but mot as bad).

Increasingly, iterative models are used and those are much better. For some reason since it isn’t Scrum people still insist they do Waterfall even though they do nothing like it.

I was referring to section 4 of A Survey for Solving Mixed Integer Programming via Machine Learning(2024): https://arxiv.org/pdf/2401.03244.

I’ve heard (but not so much observed) that there is substantial difference between recent models, so it’s possible that they are better than when this was written.

Anyways, CPLEX has an associated modeling language that features syntactic sugar which has the effect of providing opaqueness to the underlying MILP that it solves. I find LLMs essentially unable to even make an attempt at determining the MILP from that language.

PS: How is Xpress? Is there some reason to prefer it to Gurobi or Mosek?
> Hold these debtors to standards that aren't applied to other types of debtors

That’s because these loans are made using standards that aren’t applied to other loans. The government basically does not consider credit risk or traditional underwriting standards when making student loans.
While it seems clear that general vibe is trending to the negative, it's interesting to me that everyone has their own slant on it. My personal issue with Graham is that his writings are all trite common sense-isms dressed up as complicated analogies or profound insight. Like the way people claim Steve Jobs had a "reality distortion field", as if the term "charisma" wasn't coined for good reason a billion years ago...

I mean, at least Andreessen communicates directly, even if he's out of touch and tone deaf.

Anyway, we all have our gripes, and I think this article is poorly written, and the original article it links to is even worse. Doing no service to the fact that the people currently orbiting our little hovel of geekdom leave a lot to be desired. Or maybe you think this rant is poorly written and misses the mark...
If that's true for your use case (it's not true for all) then yes, including LLMs in your design would be a design flaw until they get much much better.

They are not complicated. Compound interest is middle school arithmetic. Too bad the public schools are inept at teaching math.

I received a modest tuition loan when I went to college. There was no mystery about it. I made the payments after I graduated, and paid it off.
To me it seems like an alternative take on e/acc. It’s either become a fatalist or just do stuff. “F it we ball” vs it is what it is.
As cool as OpenSCAD is, it's just one way of writing code to work with CAD.

The commercial CAD systems all have APIs to do the same kind of stuff, but they also have sophisticated UIs on top to make them easier to use visually. NX even lets the user record UI interactions as a function to make creating initial code faster.

In fact, there's a whole niche of CAD programming.
ex manager here. managers are in an even worse wheel. biz demands managers show up to even _dumber_, less organized meetings than devs think they have to deal with. eng to eng meetings tend to be fine, but the rest of company culture at BigCorp weren’t trained in structured problem solving. it’s negotiating with goldfish half of the time (generally friendly goldfish), and no one actually practices any formalisms or larger cohesive pjm. “just give me a gantt” like the author says would be an absolutely monumental improvement from how i see things get done
New evidence upends contentious Easter Island theory, scientists say

> takes a lot of skills and hard work to break the problem down

Same for every programming language.

The advantage that concatinative languages have over others is the closeness of their syntax to the semantics of the domain which makes them much easier to learn and use than other PLs (unless one has previously learned the other PLs first. Otherwise PLs like C and Java seem hopelessly baroque.)
And if the transmission fails so does the foot brake.

I recommend reading the wiki and judging for yourself.

When I contributed a binary QR code decoding feature to zbar and the new version landed in the arch repositories, the first thing I did was edit the arch wiki with usage information.

I also documented a process for encoding and decoding PGP keys to and from QR codes using that feature by editing the paperkey article on the arch wiki.

When I installed arch on my laptop, I wasn't able to configure my screen's brightness. Searching the arch wiki revealed that by default the kernel's Intel iGPU drivers would set brightness by PWMing the screen which doesn't work over eDP connections which is what my laptop used, and also documented the exact kernel command line option I needed to make it work.
Some things that come to mind:

- burn-down / velocity charts

- retrospectives

- poker sessions

- daily stand-ups

- user stories and related tickets (eg in JIRA)

There’s probably more ...

Perhaps these things are not necessarily meant to make managers happy, though managers do seem to like this stuff.

As a dev, I prefer a more fluid approach without all the rituals. In the start-up I joined a couple of months ago, we don’t deal with any of the above shit. Which of course is sure to change as the company grows, as that seems to happen often.

Our current way of working (remote company, 4 people):

- 2 calls a week, which tend to last about an hour.

- We discuss work for upcoming week or future stuff.

- We try to deliver every week on whatever was agreed upon at start of week.

Actually, previous company I worked at, was a bit bigger (35 people), but also very little rituals, at least for devs. There was a support department that did the JIRA related stuff. And we had like 2 day-long meetings every year to discuss personal goals/work for next half year. But afterwards just a short weekly meeting for team (sometimes lasting only 10 minutes), no stand-ups and such.
Sure just allow slavery, unlimited pollution and no safety requirements or liability then the US would have no problem competing. Otherwise you have to regulate to create a level playing field

Show HN: Wordllama – Things you can do with the token embeddings of an LLM
After working with LLMs for long enough, I found myself wanting a lightweight utility for doing various small tasks to prepare inputs, locate information and create evaluators. This library is two things: a very simple model and utilities that inference it (eg. fuzzy deduplication). The target platform is CPU, and it’s intended to be light, fast and pip installable — a library that lowers the barrier to working with strings semantically. You don’t need to install pytorch to use it, or any deep learning runtimes.

How can this be accomplished? The model is simply token embeddings that are average pooled. To create this model, I extracted token embedding (nn.Embedding) vectors from LLMs, concatenated them along the embedding dimension, added a learnable weight parameter, and projected them to a smaller dimension. Using the sentence transformers framework and datasets, I trained the pooled embedding with multiple negatives ranking loss and matryoshka representation learning so they can be truncated. After training, the weights and projections are no longer needed, because there is no contextual calculations. I inference the entire token vocabulary and save the new token embeddings to be loaded to numpy.

While the results are not impressive compared to transformer models, they perform well on MTEB benchmarks compared to word embedding models (which they are most similar to), while being much smaller in size (smallest model, 32k vocab, 64-dim is only 4MB).

On the utility side, I’ve been adding some tools that I think it’ll be useful for. In addition to general embedding, there’s algorithms for ranking, filtering, clustering, deduplicating and similarity. Some of them have a cython implementation, and I’m continuing to work on benchmarking them and improving them as I have time. In addition to “standard” models that use cosine similarity for some algorithms, there are binarized models that use hamming distance. This is a slightly faster, similarity algorithm, with significantly less memory per embedding (float32 -> 1 bit).

Hope you enjoy it, and find it useful. PS I haven’t figured out Windows builds yet, but Linux and Mac are supported.

Thanks for the reply!

I'm afraid I'm not really following the argument though. I don't have the technical background to judge how economical EGS is or not, I just want to understand this energy-based argument. I checked to be sure, and Quaise's initial plans (per cofounder Matt Houde) are indeed EGS-based[1], just deeper. It seems correct to me that if they succeeded at building wells that way, they would produce at least comparable energy to standard wells.

It's entirely possible that EGS just doesn't work at really deep depths as you state here, but this seems like a qualitatively different argument to the one presented in the article.

[1] https://youtu.be/yz6rRw59Huw?t=675 "but what we're interested in in Quaise is this novel idea here all the way on the right which we call like to call superhot rock EGS systems"

Actually, they address the energy balance question at the end of that talk.

https://youtu.be/yz6rRw59Huw?t=3016 "[...] we could be using around five megawatts for the drilling process to drill our wells, and let's say we use that five megawatts over a year to drill three holes, so we get an injector and two producers. We predict that configuration of the two producers and an injector at superhot conditions can produce something around 50 to 100 megawatts of electrical energy, again owing to the benefits of producing this superhot, supercritical steam."

They also answer a question on borehole stability, admittedly claiming largely that they don't know.

This solution seems like the kind of stuff that only Apple, Google, and maybe one or two other companies likd Microsoft will actually have any foothold in.

Nobody else is going to be the central point for enough data to make this kind of AI useful.

Example: Atlassian can’t make a product like this because they only have access to a small piece of your personal data in the first place. They don’t have access to your work calendar, emails, chat, conference calls, etc. Many companies who use Atlassian don’t even want to use them for source control or pipelines despite those products being a part of their suite.

Same deal with companies like Slack: they don’t have access to your email or your ticketing system. Notion doesn’t have access to your emails, conference calls, etc.

So realistically, truly helpful AI is going to be gated behind giants like Google and Microsoft, while the companies fighting for LLM scraps are going to all make their ShitGPT support chat bots.

The ultimate death knell for AI is that it’s such a unique technology that the average CTO can’t even conceptualize how it works and what it can do. I think they didn’t have that problem with previous tech industry hype trains.

We don't do scrum. We release major versions once a month, and bugfixes daily. New features go into the next major version when done, bugfixes gets released as soon as they're done.

We use Kanban boards to get an overview and prioritize work. Apart from that devs mostly manage their own work.

We're a small shop though, perhaps that's why it works well.
My hunch is that most of these "Android TVs" are cheap jailbroken devices loaded with Kodi and links to servers full of pirated content. These things have been around a long time.
nobody has ever done "waterfall", it's a strawman created to explain why traditional project management doesn't work in software development. The fact that the article starts with "in the good old days of waterfall" takes away every expectation that I'll read anything intelligent in the article, I believe this post doesn't deserve your time and definitely doesn't deserve mine.

You can thank Congress for that, not the EPA. They were the ones that required the agency by law to create the separate standards for “non-passenger vehicles” and the weight classes, as well as the other loopholes that enable the shenanigans, like allowing medium passenger vehicles to classify as non-passenger.
Not at all. The point is to have a rolling release, up to date, mostly unpatched Linux distribution.

The o1 model is hit and miss for me. On one hand it has solved the NYT Connections game [0] each day I've tried it [1]. Other models, including Claude Sonnet 3.5 cannot.

But on the other hand it misses important detail and hallucinates, just like GPT-4o. And can need a lot of hand holding and correction to get to the right answer, so much so that sometimes you wonder if it would have been easier to just do it yourself. Only this time it's worse because you're waiting 20-60 seconds for an answer.

I wonder if what it excels at is just the stuff that I don't need it for. I'm not in classic STEM, I'm in software engineering, and o1 isn't so much better that it justifies the wait time (yet).

One area I haven't explored is using it to plan implementation or architectural changes. I feel like it might be better for this, but need the right problems to throw at it.
