> Based on my experience with doctors medicine is not one of those fields. Residency is the final gauntlet that matters and that’s the part that’s artificially restricted.

You're getting the basic facts wrong. As least in the US, the restriction is acceptance to medical school. Part of the reasoning is they don't want to accept anyone who they think will fail years down the line, because that's bad for everyone (you, me, the failed student, and the teachers who aren't in it for the $$$). There's a surplus of residency slots (overall), because otherwise no foreign-trained doctors would ever be able to practice here.

Lots of foreign-trained doctors practice here.

My position is they need to increase medical school admissions (and residency slots), but not throw the doors wide open to all comers. The slots need to be managed such that anyone who gets can complete the program and will have a job waiting for them that pays commensurate with the amount of training they receive, but probably much less than many doctors get now.

> I mean really, where do we stop? There’s many more English literature graduates than jobs. Same with ____ studies and just about every other humanities degree.

Yes. What's happening with English literature graduates (at least on the PhD level) is an exploitative travesty.

> ...but restricting education based on job supply is just harmful to societies on so many levels.

I disagree. It's harmful to string people along with false hope, only to slam the door in their face at the end. It's harmful for society for people to waste time on a job training program (which is what medical education really is) for a job they'll never get.

There needs to be a distinction made between general education and job training. Unless you're independently wealthy, specialized formal education needs to perform both functions.

> The washout rate for A&P aircraft mechanics is on the order of 75%.

Aircraft mechanic school is about 18-24 months (https://www.indeed.com/career-advice/finding-a-job/how-long-...), and costs a few tens of thousands of dollars. That's not comparable, at all.

Sure imagine that, but people aren't manufactured products. Not a valid comparison.

Im not sure people really know how to use an AI chat bot or understand its a more powerful, quicker and personally more fun way of getting information then just a Google search

Some personal examples of how I find it more useful (love to hear yours) and fun to use....

- Wanted to go on a hike an hour away from where both my friend (lives two hours west of me) and I live. Asked GPT what are some good hikes an hour drive away from both of us to meet & hike. With Google I have to do Many searches where GPT just provides the answer right away.

- I count calories and eat out everyday. GPT knows the calories of everything i eat as I eat at chains mostly (Cava, Panera, Starbucks, Chipolte). I tell it via voice what i just ate for my 1st meal, it calculates my calorie count and later I'll tell it what im having for my 2nd meal. It can also recall my calorie count from days ago. It does all this quickly vs. Google i'd have to do oodles of searches.

Usually Im using GPT the most when driving via voice and unlike Siri, GPT understands me and i can have whole conversations with it to get things done while driving.
For a bit, and to a degree, yes. Last-decade image recognition and tagging teased what might be possible and is genuinely useful.

Thanks for sharing the study. I will say the made-from argument is less compelling since table salt is made from sodium (explosive) and chlorine (chemical warfare agent) and yet it's pretty yummy. So long as it doesn't degrade, that's not super problematic. However the study I will read.

I feel like we should make civil rights for individuals as expansive as possible, but it would be perfectly okay to put much tighter limits on what kind of free speech protection a corporation gets.

>PVC water pipes

This is the most relevant one IMO. You can buy glass cups and jars, it doesn't matter if the water you put into them comes through PVC pipes! Even if you buy BPA-free phthalate-free bottled water, I think it's safe to assume that at one point that water went through several meters of PVC pipes to get to that bottle!

PVC water pipes must be ubiquitous nowadays, and are certainly better than the older copper alternative, which in turn is better than the older lead alternative!

Maybe the next step is special PVC for water piping. Until then I guess we're better than we have ever been, water piping-wise.

> Im not sure people really know how to use an AI chat bot or understand its a more powerful, quicker and personally more fun way of getting information then just a Google search

I can't speak to your personal entertainment experience, but AI chatbots are generally a slower, less accurate way of getting information than a google search. (Though Google polluting search results with a big, often inaccurate, AI result at the top narrows this a bit.)
Important CEOs bring their trusted human assistant with them. Those of us at a lower level don't get that option, but at the CEO level you get to hire your own sectary and you spend years teaching them how you work and what to do in all the situations that come up and so they will make the right decisions often enough that you can trust them. Or they know they are not trusted to reschedule that appointment and so they don't.

That years of training is what we are missing. I don't think modern AIs can be trained in the way the assistants of old could be, at least not yet.

Locals don't stop going because the crowd consists of influencers. They stop going because it becomes too difficult to get in, then the place stops being in their list of possible options.

There is no such bigger point. I'm just trying to look at the situation realistically.

The difference between whether someone has 4 or 5 fingers, whether they're holding a gun versus a random object, or whether they're mixed-race or caucasian, all seem like they would be pretty important things. Likewise, car number plates, signage in the photo that help identify where it is, metadata of the image itself (often more useful than the image), are all incredibly important. All of those are things that AI is absolutely terrible at lmao.

I think 100 Gb of GPU memory will always cost multiples of CPU + regular memory.

Using LLMs and computer vision for these kinds of tasks only make sense in small scales. If the task is extensive and repeated frequently, you're better off using an LLM to generate a script using Selenium or whatever, then running that script almost for free (compared to LLM). O1 is very good at it, by the way. For the $0.10 of 1 page interaction charged by Skyvern, I can create several scripts using O1.

Interesting. And by now every platform has enough information to define the mouse pointer size in physical units rather than pixels.

If anyone at Apple is listening, highlighting the screen where the pointer is (dimming the others) or just having the option of resetting the position to a known place, would work just fine.

But why include people who didn’t pick anything? Surely they should be ignored and it ends up being 64/36.
Ironically, the Atari ST's OS -- much maligned as 'primitive' by Amiga users -- was not like this. It had a proper syscall mechanism through TRAPs -- so proper 68000 architecture memory protection entirely possible with user/supervisor separation etc etc -- and an event loop with message passing (tho rarely used). Later extensions to add unix-like multitasking (MiNT -> FreeMiNT) actually ended up fairly elegant, and memory protection is a possibility for some things.

My understanding is that AmigaOS syscalls were basically JSRs?

The original shipped OS was basically a fork of CP/M and PC-DOS-ish but GEM overtop of it showed more attention to cleaner architectural concerns, though it was never really used to its full intent.
Not sure if there was much more to it than the thread linked to, but it was basically Linus being Linus. He said stuff that made sense in a pretty blunt fashion.

There were flags proposed that allowed the seal to be ignored.

>So you say "we can't munmap in this *one* place, but all others ignore the sealing".

Later was the spice.

>And dammit, once something is sealed, it is SEALED. None of this crazy
"one place honors the sealing, random other places do not".

And later, even spicier, Linus says that seals cannot be ignored and that is non-negotiable. Any further suggestions to ignore a seal via a flag would result in the person being added to Linus' ignore list. (He, of course, said this with some profanities and capitals sprinkled in.)

Negotiation can also be boneheaded and incredibly stupid. I went to a car dealer who was asking me for $4k over their own advertised KBB value (this was before covid too). I countered with $1.5k over their own advertised value. He insisted "we can't possibly go lower" than the list price. So I noped out of there.

Months later he texted me out of the blue and offered me the same price minus $600. That car sat on their lot for years.

Not all offers should be considered valid. Sometimes, an offer in negotiation is clearly, plainly, an insult to your intelligence.

Today in incredibly obvious things...

Smartphones are an absolute graveyard of fads; remember the 3D screen phones, the phones with projectors, and so forth? They generally go nowhere. I suspect 'AI' on phones will be similar.

Overwhelmingly, what people want out of phones is "like my current phone, but with better battery life and maybe a better camera." Previously 'faster' was also a concern, but modern phones are largely Good Enough.
Isn't that obvious? They tried to switch back to Google Assistant, but each time they asked Gemini, it said it can't do that yet!

Wow what a cool writeup. Two things stuck out for me (I'm only halfway so forgive me if you address these issues). I have two comments on processing the 511.org data. First, you generally want to use a streaming parser rather than one that allocates memory to the entire response. Second, you should filter out the most data first (in this case, dropping the stops you don't care about) and then filter the least data second (dropping the fields you don't care about). This idea is similar to how, in SQL, you want to order your WHERE clauses such that the most impactful comes first.

This may not be strictly required by your use-case at this scale - 27MB of data is not a lot, after all. And the filter ordering performance is probably trivial given its all in memory (I'd be curious to see a benchmark!) However, a) efficiency is always good, especially on a Pi, and b) if you make the code more efficient it makes it easier to scale later if you want to.

Also, regarding the BOM problem you had, wouldn't it be nice if all APIs had a "developer feedback" mode built into it? That is, you can send feedback to the ppl who own the API endpoint by...posting to the endpoint. In this case you could send "Please remove the BOM. k thanks."

a single computer might be complete (even then, not everything is inspectable unless you have some very expensive equipment) but distributed systems are not.

There was an entire class of engineers at google- SREs- many of whom were previously physicists (or experts in some other quantitative field). A fraction of them (myself included) were "cluster whisperers"- able to take a collection of vague observations and build a testable hypothesis of why things were Fucked At Scale In Prod. Then come up with a way to fix it that didn't mess up the rest of the complete system.

Nothing- not even computers are truly built on formal logic. They are fundamentally physics-driven machines with statistical failure rates, etc. There's nothing quite like coming across a very expensive computer which occasionally calculates the equivalent of 1*1 = inf, simply because some physical gates have slightly more electrical charge on them due to RF from a power supply that's 2 feet away.

I think that we'll soon be able to help you generate mock clients as well. Probably by generating a first pass with AI and letting you adjust the details manually. This way it could be one-click.

I recently bought a real camera partially for this reason. I don't even mind how inconvenient it can be at times because honestly taking photos with a full camera rather than your phone is fun. While on the phone it has become quite dull in my opinion.

But knowing that the phone does a lot of software tweaking to get a picture to look similar to how good a full camera is made me want to switch. I think this was around the time that article about Samsung basically replacing a photo of the moon.
We also had (well, have) a Unix-like extension for the shipped TOS/GEMDOS/GEM OS in the form of MiNT/FreeMiNT, which went on to form the foundation of the official MultiTOS which unfortunately died along with the ST when Atari Corp died.

It had/has a POSIX(ish) API, device files, mountable filesystems, pre-emptive multitasking, TCP/IP, etc. while still being able to run classic TOS binaries.

You can run this in an emulator or on hardware still today and it still gets active development, under the GPL.

> How do they get the words out to the locals when they move place?

These particular restauranteurs are effectively local rock stars, and they have a fan base that keeps track of what they're up to. That fan base then tells other locals.

> Do people constantly try new ones that just pop up?

Lots of people do this as well. Any non-chain restaurant that opens up has very busy first weeks as everyone who cares gives it a try.

> I find myself living in the same town in years without finding a single restaurant that I can call "truly exceptional".

Yes, I'm fortunate in that the town I live in (which is a smallish mid-size city, not a big one) values exceptional dining as part of the culture, so people who enjoy making exceptional food are attracted here. Not all cities are like this.
