> a state level military is coming to kill you it doesn't really matter how many guns you have in your closet or how cool your black temu tactical gear is. Artillery from 2km away will just kill you.

I've fought in a non-state militia that held off a nation state, in a civil war. About half the people I met died, but yet, the rest remain. So you're wrong.

>They" had guns and weapons and fought back against the nazis and lost. It turns out a bunch of civilians with small arms does not actually pose a meaningful threat to a state level military.

... Those in the Warsaw ghetto did with smuggled arms, and held out for several days, meanwhile their disarmed brethren did not last nearly as long.

>"They" had guns and weapons and fought back against the nazis and lost

Jews were virtually disarmed in Germany before the genocide started. In conquered states,they occasionally held off longer with smuggled arms. (In some cases like Malka Zdrojewicz, fighting even seems to have possibly save her life as officers admired her courage and sent her to a non-genocide destination.)
The problem of controlled cellular growth in a multicellular organism is a really hard problem that evolution has spent billions of generations on, and any cell in any of the dozens of systems that keeps the human body going can potentially escape the normal cell cycle control process and go out of control, leading to cancer. (edit: the fact that so many people lead full lives without coming down with cancer is more remarkable from this view, it's one of the miracles of life).

While the ability to treat cancer using modern technology (especially if it is detected relatively early) has made vast advances, we're also surrounded by and exposed to a wide variety of molecules that can, especially in high concentrations, inflict damage on the cellular control system (a whole lot of proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, cofactors, etc.) and while that damage may be somewhat random in nature, if it happens to hit a key sequence in the cell control DNA you get a cancer cell. You can greatly reduce the prevalance of such carcinogenic mutagens in the food, air, water and soil with suitable regulations but this cuts into profit margins for the producers of various commodities and products who in turn lobby governments to eliminate said regulations (which to be fair may not have been well-designed or implemented).

Yes there are genetic factors which may increase one's cancer risk but these are very complicated and often overemphasized by those who dont't want to see clean air, water, soil, food etc. regulations implemented.
well people may need some time to relearn that forgetting is part of brain function for a reason
LSP server does not have to implement all of the spec to be useful. Just using document change and diagnostics allows to implement basic linter or spell checker.

This is not even remotely close and very silly. A ChainOfThought in a loop.

TreeOfThoughts is a more sophisticated method, see - https://arxiv.org/pdf/2305.10601

The clue we all had with OpenAI for a long time that this was a search through a tree, they hired Noam Brown, and his past work all hinted towards that. Q, is obviously a search on a tree like A. So take something like CoT, build out a tree, search for the best solution across it. The search is the "system-2 reasoning"
I've been a developer for just under 30 years. One of the pleasant surprises in my skill development was learning how much I can ignore various fads, policies, and people.
It's Mozilla's documentation site. Firefox doesn't have the API. It has no obligation to even mention its existence. The only thing that documentation is doing is helping Chrome.

If I'm interpreting you correctly, please explain how you got from "mozilla.org documents this API" to "firefox is not acting as a user agent".

I'm speaking about browsers in general.
I think it’s likely that the idea of A, B and C players is pretty widespread to the point that MrBeast was exposed to it, and that Jack Welch was the person who first popularized using the first three letters of the alphabet to categorize employees.
I think leading in "wartime" is way easier than leading in peacetime. When you are in full panic mode with a clear goal, a lot of decisions are very clear and easy to make. And everybody knows you can't scrutinize every little thing. You take a risk and see if it works out.

In peacetime you have more time, goals are not that clear. So a lot of people suddenly have different opinions and they must somehow be negotiated. There is a huge risk of a bureaucracy to de developing that can't be constrained.

It's the same in politics. Wartime leaders like Churchill get a lot of credit but I think it's much harder to keep things running halfways efficiently when things are going well.
It wasn't a rollback in much the same way that UPDATEing a row in an MVCC database doesn't actually overwrite that row, it just creates a new version of it that becomes the version that people tend to care about from that point on.
Hmm, couldn't that example be simplified to:

SetUpdatedToNow
- set %content.updated% as %now% in the file "file.txt"

The whole reading and writing feels like a leftover from the days of programming. Reading it in, modifying and then writing assume it fits in memory, leaves out ideas around locking, filesystem issues, writing to a temp and swapping, etc. Giving the actual intent lets the LLM decide what is the best way which might be reading in , modifying and then writing.
So I can eat pizza instead of salad after all?
I'd personally love to hear your views and thoughts. Either about this subject or in general. You seem very thoughtful and self-aware, which is always a positive thing. Don't let the naysayers get to ya....^^
I have a hypothesis, that once a thread has more than N comments, a sub-comment under the top comment is more likely to stay close to the top of the page, than the same thought expressed in its own top comment. And certainly more likely to be seen than any new thread.

Or, people are just more likely to see something closer to the top, that inspires them to comment.

Therefore, the top comment in a top page thread is itself a natural comment magnet.

I don't know of an antidote to this, except that I try not to do it myself. And wary of the possibility of a pot-kettle situation here.
Yep, the LSP mentioned in the blog post (I'm the author) only implements diagnostics and autoformatting for now. With just that you can already provide a lot of utility.

Mr best is many things. And one of them is a very good project/programme manager.
This guide highlights that.
If you read the full PDF it’s clear he is very carefully gaming the algorithm: he includes charts showing exactly when people drop off from watching videos, and explains how he has an exact set of rules for how the thumbnail, first minute, 2-3 minutes, 3-6 minutes and 6-end minutes of any video should work.

I find the lengths he has gone to in order to design his videos specifically for how YouTube works to be extremely impressive.
Yes, MrBeast's doc definitely also had "Getting Real" vibes. https://basecamp.com/gettingreal
Was this a well-corroborated and fact-based opinion, or was it off-the-cuff and handwavey? Podcast answers aren't always totally reliable.

But you mention "the average person," which is really the crux of the matter. Cancer strikes perfectly average people, oftentimes in their 30s or 40s, and hands down death sentences at random. A bad roll of the dice. A stray cosmic ray hit a dividing cell. Who knows? That is what is scary.

Eliminating cancer may perhaps only increase the average lifespan by three years -- though I have my doubts -- but what's much more important is that it would cut down tremendously the number of premature and random-seeming deaths in the prime of life.
It's interesting to see the discussion from two different angles—there's a lot of support for the type of A/B/C delineation in parts of this thread, and some people who decry it in other parts.

I was on the set for one of the productions, and I'll just say at the time I thought the experience was a one-off for one of the bigger productions they've put on. Since reading other people's stories, it seems more a case where the pressure to push, push, push for the next big video is a ginormous machine that grinds people pretty hard.

An early stage startup, with a few employees, pushing to hit some milestone, could survive like that a while. But you can only burn through so many creative minds driving them at 110% all day like that. IMO, you have to find a sustainable burn rate that might be too much for some, but isn't going to drive away everyone desiring normal family / outside work life balance, especially 5-10 years into an org's lifetime.

MrBeast (the org) has hundreds of employees and probably 5-10 major active productions (in pre-prod, prod, and post-prod). They've achieved a lot of impressive results, but they also get to cut a lot of corners traditional media (Hollywood, TV production) can't due to labor laws and unions.

Edit: Not to mention, the 'No does not mean no' section was a bit alarming. There are plenty of times when no most certainly means no, and you can really damage business and personal relationships if you can't figure those out.
Kernel version 6.8 broke suspend ($ systemctl suspend) for me. I run two machines with near identical setups. I upgrade my "preview" machine first before updating my primary machine to test for defects.

If I boot from kernel version 6.5, suspend works fine. Hold shift while your machine is booting and the grub menu will allow you to select a different kernel version.
Just seeing how bad the site renders on my phone I wouldn't trust it.

Paraguayan lawyer here. Paraguayan trademark law states that every trademark title is valid for a 10-year term, and then it has to be renewed, with a 6-month grace period for renewal. Otherwise the trademark expires and it has to be registered using the whole process (which can be long).

Apparently, Disney failed to register its trademark for a long time while [Paraguayan] Mickey dutifully did so, and also being careful not to overreach its trademark categories, things that helped it.
Can you expand on that subject?

> ...a really hard problem that evolution has spent billions of generations on...

I think it's worth noting that this isn't evolution's "goal". We just need to produce offspring and give them a good start in life such that they are competitively successful. Beyond that, evolution doesn't care.

Even for that, there's a budget. If it's not economical over letting us die and not taking valuable resources from our offspring, then evolution also doesn't care.

I actually own one of these early Mac128k systems from Drexel: https://triosdevelopers.com/~jason.eckert/stuff/Mac128.JPG

From the serial, it was manufactured in February 1984, so Drexel must have planned this with Apple long before the January 1984 launch as noted in the article. The D is actually dyed into the case plastic itself and not painted on (I can see it from the inside too).

I bought it on eBay in 2006 for $50 new in box, never used (and it worked like new when I booted it up for the first time). The seller said she received it as part of her tuition, but was afraid of computers and never took it out of the box or turned it on. So it was likely that Drexel automatically added or included the $1000 cost to all tuition to make it mandatory as the article abstract suggests.
o1’s innovation is not Chain-of-Thought. It’s teaching the model to do CoT well (from massive amounts of human feedback) instead of just pretending to. You’ll never get o1 performance just from prompt engineering.
This is a very key insight many need to be aware of. The thing that can be sacrificed in order to obtain efficiency is resilience.

To master the bend not break model.

You can make a bridge that can handle a 10 ton load for half the material of one that can take 20 tons. 99% of the time this isn't an issue but that outlier case of a 18 ton truck can be disastrous. This is why power cables have sag in them, in case there is an extreme cold snap. Why trees sway and bend with the wind so that anything but the most extreme evens do not break them; with that analogy, grass is much weaker but could handle even higher winds. The ridged are brittle.

I'm not saying to not strive for efficiency but you also have to allow those efficiency gains to provide some slack in the system. Where I work, there is a definite busy season. So for most of the year, we operate at about 70% utilization and it works out great. Most people are not stressed at all. It means that when those 2 months of the year when it is all hands on deck, everyone is in peak condition to face it head on.

In my previous job in manufacturing, efficiency was praised over everything else, it was 100% utilization all of the time. So when the COVID rush came, it practically broke the business. After a year of those unrelenting pace, we started to bleed out talent. Over the next 6 months, they lost all the highest talent. A year later from those I still spoke with, they said they lost about two thirds of their business over the next 12 months, they are now on the edge of collapse.

Slack allows a bend, pure efficiency can lead to a break. There is a fine line between those two that is very difficult to achieve.
It's bigger than that

Seems pretty cool. The electric boat had to charge 3 times making the trip cost €50 (although not every marina charges for power) the chase boat had to stop 6 times and refuel cost at a cost of €750.

The hydrofoil had a smoother ride, but the upfront cost seems to be $400k. Reviews also seem to indicate that it is computer limited to 31 mph. That is probably for safety reasons and I suspect on the water that feels plenty fast.

I think these would play well in the SF bay. Wouldn’t be bad to skip the traffic on 101. Google had a ferry from SF to Mountain View for a while. It was epic. They canceled it due to the program leaking and some idiot protesters complaining that tech workers shouldn’t exist or something like that.
Article would have been good with a picture on someone's face. Seems important given the title. I'm the kind of nerd who would wear high tech shit that makes me look like a dork if it was cool enough or the utility was big enough, but even I have my limits - and being able to see expressions and make eye contact is a pretty big deal with humans.

I had the privelege of meeting James Earl Jones when I was in college. I was taking a theater appreciation class and our professor got us tickets and bakestage passesto a Broadway production of Othello. Mr. Jones was very welcoming and even discussed the meaning of the handkerchief in Othello with me. He was so welcoming and so willing to talk with some college students, I will always remember this moment and share it with anyone sho's willing to listen!
Only if you're on the right (or wrong) server.
I didn’t try to extract positives, I extracted what I personally found most interesting.

I skipped the “no doesn’t mean no” section because it felt like pure hustle culture to me, not to mention something which wouldn’t work outside of MrBeast because they can lean so heavily on their brand - “find an employee who has a kid who is a fan” etc.

I didn’t actually spot the relationship between the “no means no” section and the sexual abuse scandals (I’m apparently not completely up to date on MrBeast scandals) - I caught the bit about squid game and though that would be a useful thing to highlight to remind people that MrBeast’s history isn’t without its nasty incidents.
I taught physics labs 2018-2022 (before, during and after pandemic) and the students always worked on their laptops and I rarely found anyone without a laptop and have never seen someone "working" on a mobile device (including iPad). It is hard unless you are taking note during a lecture to use these devices (and the 6.5 inch devices is too small for effective note taking)

So I seen people using iPads/tablets in note taking and laptops for lab work. But never seen any useful usage of phones myself. Maybe that would be different experience. I myself was graduate student during this time and used iPad for note taking and of course used laptop for everything else including my research.

Now it is interesting that I daily drive my work using mini pc with pop os and the experience is very good.
I didn't say they were slacking, but they may be working on the wrong things, or prematurely optimizing things at the expense of other priorities. Ironically, it's the author who suggests implicitly that devs can slack more in waterfall ("Sprints never stop").

Since the client is involved in every sprint, any change of mind they have during the development process (and keep in mind that changes of mind are a virtual certainty in either case)is at least better informed than if the touchpoints were much less frequent (or as is too often the case in waterfall) all back-loaded towards the end of the project.

Does scrum eliminate crunch time? Of course not. But if it's done well, the impact is minimized because there has been so much more opportunity for course correction throughout the project.
You're thinking of Grok, the model from xAI. This Groq is the inference hardware company with a cloud service.

> Progressives think you’re a horrible person if you take part in any kind of beauty pageant or other activity which causes objectification.

No, progressives in general don't. In fact, the assumption on which this attitude rests, that anything, particularly any clothing or activity of the target, causes objectification besides the choice of the objectifier is a conservative, victim-blaming viewpoint that is widely attacked by progressives.
Great article. Its lesson is basically: go 110% in everything you do. Buck conventional laziness even when everyone else is doing it and be the ultimate "try-hard"

Not to detract from it in any way.
So true man, the best part of this site are the positive and thoughtful folks. It's pretty easy to be negative and find flaws in things, it's more difficult and constructive to find the positive and try to learn.

It seems whenever I show someone this site, they're like "oh this is cool!" and never look at it again.

Late 30's, ACE 6 (I basically had a sociopathic, druggy, gambling step father who has a talent for making others' lives miserable. My house chores included watering the weed plants).

Although parts of my childhood weren't the best, I actually had many good things in my life growing up as well. My mother and father are very caring people, and I was involved in many extra curricular activities (music, sports etc). I went to university, got a CS degree, Masters and have gone on to have a decent professional career.

It's been emotionally difficult at times. I learnt some years ago that my dad was a functioning meth addict, and I felt a bit like I was leading a double life at times - when I'd go home to visit, and was literally at his then gf's house where she was dealing... my dad would be shining a torch on some rocks, asking me if I could see what he could. I'd then head back to where I was living and get back to my software job. My dad was very sick for a while and was given a few months to live. Luckily he's still around. Another emotional strain are alcohol issues across my family.

As I'm getting older, I'm trying to let go, to be supportive of family members while realizing that I can't control their lives. They have to come to the conclusions they need to, and they need to want to live differently.

I do my best to look after myself (I've always had to do that!), to stay fit and healthy, and to grow personally. I am not my parents, nor am I the surroundings that I grew up in. If I blame them for the bad, I also must blame them for the good, and for the unique perspective they've given me.

One thing that has helped, has to have been around other high performing people - in many different aspects of life (academically, financially, sports, music etc). Martial arts has given me a lot of confidence as well.

Otherwise, I'm usually very much future focused. I try to stay positive, to keep things light-hearted and help others out when I can.
