I did an experiment with ChatGPT for this recently.

I run my blog using Django, and the Django Admin has a feature where you can construct a link to an "add post" page with query string parameters that pre-populate that form.

I set up a GPT (a custom ChatGPT with a system prompt) with these instructions:

You help me write new items for my link blog
by generating URLs to the Django admin that
prefill the new blog entry form

The URL you generate always starts like this:

https://simonwillison.net/admin/blog/blogmark/add/?use_markdown=1

Then you add more URL encoded pairs:

link_title is the title of the link
link_url is the URL
slug is the URL slug used on my site - it
should be the title in lower case with dashes
instead of spaces and with stop words removed
via_url is optional - it’s the via URL
via_title is optional too
commentary is the longest field - it’s the
markdown for my blog entry. It should usually
include more markdown links.

I will paste in notes, you turn them into a
link to this URL

Now I can copy and paste rough notes from my iPhone notes app - with the title of a link, the URL, a bunch of notes and maybe a "via XXX" text at the bottom - and it will generate a working link like this one:

https://simonwillison.net/admin/blog/blogmark/add/?use_markdown=1&link_title=Zero-latency%20SQLite%20storage%20in%20every%20Durable%20Object&link_url=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.cloudflare.com%2Fsqlite-in-durable-objects%2F&slug=zero-latency-sqlite-storage-durable-object&commentary=Kenton%20Varda%20introduces%20the%20next%20iteration%20of%20Cloudflare%27s%20%5BDurable%20Object%5D(https%3A%2F%2Fdevelopers.cloudflare.com%2Fdurable-objects%2F)%20platform%2C%20which%20recently%20upgraded%20from%20a%20key%2Fvalue%20store%20to%20a%20full%20relational%20system%20based%20on%20SQLite.%0A%0AThis%20is%20a%20fascinating%20piece%20of%20distributed%20system%20design%2C%20enabling%20a%20really%20interesting%20way%20to%20architect%20a%20large%20scale%20application.%0A%0AThe%20key%20idea%20behind%20Durable%20Objects%20is%20to%20colocate%20application%20logic%20with%20the%20data%20it%20operates%20on.%20A%20Durable%20Object%20is%20a%20code%20instance%20on%20the%20same%20physical%20host%20as%20the%20SQLite%20database%20that%20it%20operates%20on%2C%20resulting%20in%20blazingly%20fast%20read%20and%20write%20performance.

That example won't work for anyone who isn't me because you need to be signed into the Django Admin to view the link, but here's a screenshot of what I get:

https://gist.github.com/simonw/3bb63ff855854c0bc7856567f7a5e...

I haven't been using it though, because it takes too long for ChatGPT to type out that URL one URL-escaped character at a time.
Well then, instead of being smug, how about providing a reference? Specifically, can you link to information about the distribution of individual blood pressure daily variances across a population? This is different from white coat hypertension,something which nearly all of us are familiar.

To get you going here is a 2009 article on labile hypertension. It discuss the topic but does not provide any quantitative information on population distribution.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8673041/

Edit: here’s a link to a more recent reference:

https://www.imperial.ac.uk/news/251055/blood-pressure-variab...

Apparently, contrary to your assertion that an individual’s blood pressure variability is part of established 1st years med student’s knowledge, labile hypertension seems to be an active area of research.
That story is because no-one had thought to study it so there was no scientific evidence that it made any difference. Not that a study had found it made no difference.
The study tested two incorrect positions and the correct position. It “confirmed” that the correct position is correct.

So it’s nothing new, and not anything that isn’t in practice and part of basic procedure

> And they underscore the importance of adhering to clinical guidelines calling for firm support on a desk or other surface when measuring blood pressure, the investigators add.
Lol, I don’t understand what THAT means! A swan might break your arm?!?
> Some valid empirical questions are not testable in the Popperian sense.

If by "valid" you mean "scientific", no, not true. As long as such questions cannot be tested and potentially falsified, they aren't science.

> Instead, a model based conception of science is required.

Einstein had a model for General Relativity in 1915, but the scientific world reserved judgment until it could be tested and potentially falsified. In 1919 an opportunity for a falsifiable test appeared -- an eclipse of the sun that would show the effect of space-time curvature and either validate or falsify Einstein's theory. (https://eclipse2017.nasa.gov/testing-general-relativity)

Einstein's model was interesting, but until a falsifiable test could be carried out, it was philosophical speculation. This is how science works.

I've been having this same conversation for decades -- psychologists want the status of science without the discipline of science. But that would require science to be redefined, which would dismantle the Enlightenment. Not happening.
Nobody will mark oneself as not busy, either because the management might be taking note or one truly doesn't make time to be open to more work.

It looks like to me that due to previous solutions, people try to improve upon in the same domain. May be the premise of the solution is wrong.

I've been using Otter.ai. I use it for both personal and professional meetings, and it's been a game-changer for my productivity.
I find myself rereading the details of the expedition every few months, just trying to come to terms with how they actually did it. I know exactly what they did. I just have no idea how they did it.
On the business side, I am with you and I don't use Threads at all (or know anyone in my circle who does)

This talk is from a technical perspective - and whatever your thoughts on Threads are, it is a great technical feat to launch something of that scale in 5 months!

Can't think of any company that comes close to Meta in the speed of shipping features and products, and Threads app is the best example

Erratum: Not Mexico. I echoed a repost without sanity checking the perspective - sorry about that.
Genuine question, is Matt ok? I hope nothing bad is happening in his personal life.
In the 2000s the population of the internet, even though pretty mainstream by then, was still made up of enough proactive, deliberate, conscientious people to be able to trigger a MySpace to Facebook type migration.

On today's internet it's no longer possible. The full population is here and it's overall too passive and docile. The biggest sites won't be disrupted anymore. Twitter is certainly deprecated. But just like our uncles and grandparents will keep Facebook alive for 20 more years, so it will be with Twitter. Threads was never going to be able to change that.
That's awesome to hear. I've been considering using it for meeting notes as well

I take it that my ad blocking plugins and security settings are working then.
Yeah not sure how that is starting from 0.
"trained on licensed content" - this is a bit misleading. The correct framing is in the article: "made with content owner permission." Most (all?) LLMs out there are trained on licensed content, they just try to catch and filter it before it's outputted to the user.
You can't be serious. Musk is under investigation for manipulating stock prices back years ago. Anything shown on these events must be assumed fake until proven otherwise.

I always wonder why people don’t build brick and mortar homes in natural disasters prone areas. Sure the initial cost is high but the recurring cost due to all this damage is probably way higher.

Apologizing in advance if this is a stupid question. But when I compare houses in say Germany or Singapore to those in the US, I can’t believe the ephemeral construction here.
It’s the British version of an urban myth. It’s like an urban myth… but more British.
> I still remember the screen names of folks I interacted with in and on IRC, AIM, ezboard, IGN boards, forums, etc.

Same. It's strange that in terms of interpersonal communication, we appear to be worse off than where were 25 years ago with AIM and e-mail. Back then it was common to carry on pretty deep conversations and relationships with people from all over the world. Part of my nightly routine was going over the day with my friends (both near and far). I would send long e-mail to my distant friends on their birthday, talking about all the things that had happened in my life, and they would do the same. I'd even keep in contact for years with pen pals I had met all over the world.

There's no reason this couldn't be done today, but I suppose most people prefer the much shallower interactions we have now.
It’s just crazy that someone would cheat at something so low-stakes with such a high probability of being caught, but I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised.
are you using it to auto-assign tasks, generate to-do lists, or something else entirely?
I really, really like this list. I've been wondering for the last year what the "optimal" problem is to learn at least the syntax of a language. After learning to run something, how to print to the console, I like using heapsort to start learning syntax of a new language, then reading/writing to a file, then building a small TodoList server.
Sure, I’ve also seen smaller businesses just totally failing to do anything with data they already have, that probably is decent.

Both problems may be connected by a fundamental failure to appreciate scientific and statistical methods at the level that most high school graduates have been exposed to.

There’re narrow areas of intense competition (though not whole sectors—pockets here and there) keeping everyone really on their A-game I suppose (I’ve not seen it, and I’ve seen some places one might expect it) and then there’s… everything else, where it’s all a clown show of guesswork and lots of energy and money spent pretending. It’s a miracle anything works.
That is certainly an issue. However, in reference to this design, I don't understand the point of having apps like weather and notifications if the large screen that would display such things is meant to face away from you so that others can see your status.

If you look in the `config.json`[1] it shows `Zamba2ForCausalLM`. You can use a version of the transformers library to do inference that supports that.

The model card states that you have to use their fork of transformers.[2]

It’s not super clear there, but those are examples of a pre-Gettier type of argument that originally motivated strengthening, and externalizing, the J in JTB knowledge— just like you’re doing!

Gettier’s contribution — the examples with Smith — sharpens it to a point by making the “knowledge” a logical proposition — in one example a conjunction, in one a disjunction — such that we can assert that Smith’s belief in the premise is justified, while allowing the premise to be false in the world.

It’s a fun dilemma: the horns are, you can give up justification as sufficient, or you can give up logical entailment of justification.

But it’s also a bit quaint, these days. To your typical 21st century epistemologist, that’s just not a very terrifying dilemma.

One can even keep buying original recipe JTB, as long as one is willing to bite the bullet that we can flip the “knowledge” bit by changing superficially irrelevant states of the world. And hey, why not?
Learn skimming? I say this as a old person who actually had "skimming" and "scanning" (different things!) as part of my elementary reading curriculum. We even had to practice skimming the whole (printed) NYT in 5 minutes. This piece is seven short paragraphs. I can get the gist and tone in a few seconds. Quicker, in fact, than reading the chatgpt snoozefest.

I'll happily dump an 80 page patent or court ruling into chatgpt for a summary. But if an actual human wrote a few hundred word personal blog post, I'd rather read it.
> Natural gas is a great solution. It's why we're using it. But if your focus is decarbonisation and electrification, nuclear is better. Even if it's pricier.

There's a crossover point. If you use natural gas to provide <1% of yearly electricity needs, and you save a zillion dollars while doing so, you can find cheaper ways to decarbonize by the same amount.
I know there are many others, but make does any job, is very simple (once you have realized that recursive make is not needed for decades), is not tied to a specific environment, had been around for ages and will still be around 20 years from now. I don't think I'm easily satisfied with tools, but I have never had a reason to look for another tool that would solve a problem i don't have.
I see this as a good thing (hear me out.)

Building a product or business is a multi-skilled task. Broadly speaking you need to cover product development, marketing, finance.

Good leadership covers all 3 bases, but leadership in the latter 2 is more important than leadership in product.

Which sounds backwards, but you're the tech guy providing the tech. Leadership is figuring out what / how / to who of marketing coupled with the balancing of finances to make the business work.

VC funding of course up-ends this model. It removes financing and marketing (and even product fit) from the equation. Here's a pile of money, "go build something and we'll figure out the rest later..."

Sure 90% fail to figure it out, and the business part fails, but that's OK because the VC (although not always the techie) comes out a winner. It's a great model to handle the edge-case of good ideas that are hard to pull off.

If you end up in a non-vc business though, don't be surprised if most of the layers above you don't care about the tech.
Yes. Although the last time I played or heard anyone discuss conkers as a game was in the 1990s at school. My dad seemed to find the concept of fake conkers amusing enough to take it upon himself to craft me a resin filled one, although it didn't fool any kids.

In more recent years a bus driver complained to me conkers are not legal tender as I placed some down while in search of change. Around this time of year you will find most people have their pockets filled with conkers. </dev/random>
Yes, that's it.

The reason I think this game is so popular is horse chestnut trees are very popular in the UK. For about a month each year, where I grew up the ground would be littered with conkers, both on my route to school and on school grounds. It's natural when walking around to try to find particularly large / impressive looking ones.
The guy the article is about won the men's. At the end, the men's champ plays the women's champ for overall champion.

This American mentioned was the women's champ, who apparently went on to beat him. Which either means he wasn't cheating, or was and then played fairly on the last match?
Tesla (Elon Musk) is under investigation for fraud for insinuating robotaxies are just around the corner, and you should buy the already available hardware for 100k that'll yield you 30k/year in the near future.
When it became public knowledge, more value was written off Tesla stock than Enron, Theranos and Nikola combined.
>It seems like a bad move to have a participant responsible for drilling the holes and attaching the strings.

It is probably the kind of event where the only people who would be willing to do the timely prep work are the contestants.
We should all discourage organizations that set people up to do a bad job. If I'm going to have a manager, I don't want one with 21 direct reports. With so many reports, it's incredibly unlikely that they'd be able to offer much of anything that a good manager should be doing. That's very little time for coaching, using their position to unblock you, identifying problems you're having that are coming across the team, recognizing your strengths, collecting feedback from colleagues, helping you develop a promotion plan, or even just holding 1:1s.
0->1

Except for the part where Meta used the immense network effects of Facebook and Instagram to repeatedly advertise Threads to their audience and harass them into trying it out.

This is more like slowing the 100->0 transition.
I'd like to just say that Gwynne Shotwell might be one of the best executives in the world.

Shotwell has SpaceX catching rockets with chopsticks, while being able to keep Elon from f*cking it all up by "sleeping on the factory floor" or whatever other stunt he is pulling.

Tesla looks like a complete stock fraud sham for at least 5+ years (remember buying SolarCity because cousins?), then Boring and, Le Sigh.

Dude literally did a "We, Robot" event and then copied the "I, Robot" movie designs. He isn't even trying anymore, this is just his "rocket fuel" scam for whatever other shiny object he desires.

I'm super frustrated that someone set "good" things in motion, and we are letting them Mullenweg it all up.
My point was the “diagnosis” is hardly a diagnosis at all, and it’s not surprising that amphetamines help you perform (that’s what they do). You have no reason to claim that you have ADHD and someone else doesn't.

Edit: @m463 I strongly disagree that the cdc statement below reflects the reality. If you don’t believe me, please go take the test just as an experiment. I couldn’t reply, I think I’m banned from posting. I may have spoken too harshly but I stand by what I said.
As I understand it, it's common for a cargo ship to unload full containers and take on empties for the return voyage. Are cargo vessels holds always partially full vs. empty containers, bouncing between ports?

Would this issue even be a problem for fixed routes? If you're always taking full containers between two points, that is.
Mastodon is not very scalable if you want to host tens of millions of users.

It's actually wildly successful and most companies would kill to have a social media platform with that level of success.

On the play store it's #2 in the charts ahead of ChatGPT, behind Temu.

Perhaps you need to rethink your definition of success and failure. It's objectively a successful platform launch.
Wow, this is a great idea!!! Seriously!
> Quite often but not always linked lists in C are intrusive.

Yes, and that's a significantly different data structure from a cons-cell based list, so I don't think it's particularly relevant. C and C++ certainly aren't examples of one of the languages lispm is claiming uses the Lisp model.

> And so no memory allocation is required to insert those objects into a list.

This is a pretty key distinction which doesn't apply to the linked list objects I'm talking about.
You can never roll your own and have a working ecosystem. This is exactly the problem.
Come on, isn't this obvious? There's no way in crap they were fully autonomous, and I don't think anyone ever claimed that they were. In fact there's multiple examples of them saying "I am remote operated" when asked.

And that doesn't in any way take away from the fact that it's damn cool that they went from "guy in spandex suit" to a walking, dextrous, low latency telepresence robot in a few years.

I hate Musk's new politics (which is obviously what this is all about) but I feel bad for the engineers involved: I suspect everyone was stoked to show off their impressive progress, and a few marketing people decided to under-emphasize the telepresence and made them all look like jerks.
The way the cutaway images on their site look, the bouyant members would be nestled in the actual structure in large tanks.

Wouldn't it be more surprising if no remains of Greek presence were found anywhere in the Mediterranean?
Don't worry in about 5 years they'll come to the conclusion I did about 5 years ago (because I was like that in 2014) - that is to say, they're realize it's futile and liberate themselves from the angst of it all and just accept the world is shit and the internet is shit and there's no going back and you will be free from such horrific lust for the dead remains of an archaic past. You will be glad when new potential "solutions" come up, but be sad to see the loss of expansion of said places and ultimately learn to accept that it's "creative destruction" on a smaller level, and the only people who care are the old heads who are a dying generation. We're like hippies at a dead show, with a few young hangers on who love to hear the glory of the old days, But they'll soon be dead too. Freedom in acceptance. Freedom in serenity. Free at last, thank god almighty, they will be free of such mental strife at last.
Mycenaean's were Greek. Same as the Macedonians, the Athenians, the Spartans, the Corinthians, etc.

Let's not pretend this proves your point in any way. Intrusive lists in a manually managed memory system are incomparable to the cons cell based linked lists in a garbage collected system which you're defending. This is particularly true when the intrustive lists require no memory allocation.
