>A better way of judging is how much stuff your dentist places on 'watch' rather than recommending expensive treatments.

This, I've had the same tooth on 'watch' for a few years. One of the times they showed me the difference, the one on watch has a crack in the enamel but no rot underneath it, vs one with a crack in the enamel with visible staining going down into the tooth. That's one nice thing with a newer dentist, they can actually show you this visual on a giant monitor vs you just having to take their word for it. I'm sure a less conservative dentist would fill any tooth that had any sort of cracked enamel and spend the profits on buying a new boat.
This was absolutely my take, as well. I was wondering if I was looking at some Tom's guide knockoff.

And I still don't trust ChatGPT with facts. I do use it as a starting point for research, but then I switched to [my preferred paid search engine] to verify and correct.
> People booting linux on their macs to play games would really annoy Apple probably.

You dont have to boot Linux to play PC games on Mac.

Apple already provides the tools you need to build a Mac native equivalent to Proton.

There are several options built using those tools, both paid {Crossover) and free/open source (Whisky).

Whisky combines the same ooen source Wine project that Proton leverages with Apple's Rosetta x86 emulation and Apple's DirectX emulation layer (part of the Game Porting Toolkit) into a single easy to use tool.

> If Valve pull up a witch-crafted way to run AAA games on Mac without Apple support that would be an interesting landscape. And maybe would force Apple to re-consider their approach if they don't want to be cornered on their own platform...

Right, except that Game Porting Toolkit and D3DMetal was an exact response to this scenario. Whether it's the right approach, time will tell, but Apple definitely already headed this one off at the pass.
Thanks. After using the Claude app, I noticed several things lacking. The ChatGPT Mac app is significantly better, IMHO.

For some reason, I expected the same from Anthropic, but the Claude app, in its current state, is quite inferior.
“Entitlement” is one of those words where the meaning and usage is divergent.

Entitlement is one’s right to something. “Self entitlement” is where someone believes they have the right to do something yet that right is questionable.

The entitled should win, that’s a good thing.
I've become so complacent these last 20 years. I wonder if I try to browse the web, will I stumble upon anything as awesome as the 1998 web scene was?

UI/UX in the Age of Generative AI
Apple gained so much professional mindshare in the early 2000s with FCP, Shake, Logic, Aperture, Motion, XSan, XServe, etc. I worked in a graphics/media studio at the time, and the excitement was palpable. And creating things with those apps was just fun.

It feels like a shame that only vestiges of that time remain today. The bar is much higher in some ways (lower in others), it takes a lot more skill and specialized knowledge to compete, and almost all vendors don't put in the same careful attention to detail (especially UX) that the Apple pro apps of that era had.
Events shouldn't carry any data in my opinion, except parameterized data. In the context of a booking, for example, it would be SeatBooked {41A} instead of 41ABooked, though the latter is a better event, but harder to program for. The entire flow might looked like this:

SeatTimeLimitedReserved {41A, 15m}

SeatAssignedTo {UserA}

SeatBooked {41A}

If a consumer needs more data, there should be a new event.
shrug I just upgraded an M1-ultra studio to an M4-Max MBP. I'm not going to splash that much cash every year on an upgrade, and I don't think that's uncommon.

Just like the phone comparisons are from more than one year ago, the computer comparisons (which are even more expensive) make more sense to be from more than one year ago. I don't see why you wouldn't target the exact people you're trying to get to upgrade...
I thought the saying was “infinite monkeys..” and in that case you would get the full works of Shakespeare immediately. With an infinite amount of time and one monkey you’d get the full works of Shakespeare in every language supported by the typewriter any number of times in a row you wished. In fact, you’d get anything you wanted as long as the probability was > 0

Edit: after walking my dogs, isn’t the probability of the full works of Shakespeare never being typed out also > 0? (I can’t believe I’m actually spending calories on this..)
While I understand the point of the article mainly being about adapting environments to better suit ADHD, I do disagree with the idea that it shouldn't be treated like a medical disorder. I was diagnosed with ADD (before they were merged into one disorder,) And it did effect a lot of my ability to learn in school. Unless it was something that I was interested in even outside of school. I'm well aware that this is my own opinion, but the rapid influx of people exhibiting these issues seems unusual. I'm wondering if this could be caused by some environmental factors during and even before childhood. Having some form of diagnoses would be a help to potentially finding the root cause of the issue.

While this claim is unfounded (I have yet to see any research around it.) I think the current increase in ADHD like symptoms could be something like the leaded gas issues of the 1960s - 1970s.

I would rather minimize the issues than trying to workaround them as even with the mitigations in place it'll still effect abilities to work on things that people do like.
I have a great local family dentist, originally from Sryia.

He strongly believes keeping the original tooth at all costs.

I had my tooth crack off at the gumline (minus a small corner), long story, but I thought for sure it was a goner. He spent two days on a root canal and crown and it's still perfect 3 years later.
I think this case is a little different because it’s clearly censorship, not a search quality issue.

Now that the JD Vance podcast is out, that’s the first result; then it’s all MSM. Wow.
I'd say we have to rely on the specialists in our lives, because we can't all do the same things they do, but not that we should trust them without any other reason. There are clearly people pulling scams—or simply making honest mistakes—so it would be irrational to blindly trust all specialists simply because they are specialists. That's especially true when they have a financial interest in taking a certain position. In a marketplace with many specialists who are able to offer the same service, it makes most sense to be skeptical, and I doubt you'd find many knowledgeable folks who don't advocate getting a second opinion when making a significant financial or health-related decision.
Unnecessary rewrites are a way for engineers to benefit themselves (more fun than maintaining existing stable technology, updating resume with new technology) and not the company.

It's not that all rewrites are this way, or that all dentists are corrupt. But both patterns exist.
The minimum is not over all starting configurations, but over all move sequences for a fixed starting configuration.
Similar experience, not with the office but with the dentist himself - he came across as way too artificially nice, more like a salesman than a dentist, then recommended 4 treatments, 2 of which were unnecessary according to the second opinion I got.

Look at all the programming language implementations that provide big integers by calling out to GMP. Why would it be "cheating" when available to all and done openly? Libraries matter.
> So his English language use of presenting things factually does not indicate certainty in the way the words would be used in everyday speech. He seems to perhaps misunderstand the force of the terms

He might or might not. It's also possible that academic practice in his native language is to use terms of equivalent force.
Not the point of the article, but this got me curious...

> Shakespeare’s canon includes 884,647 words – none of them banana.

If this article (1) is accurate, Shakespeare never even knew what a banana is, and he never tried it, since he died ~2 decades before they came to England:

> England got its first glimpse of the banana when herbalist, botanist and merchant Thomas Johnson displayed a bunch in his shop in Holborn, in the City of London, on April 10, 1633.

> Taiwan whose dentists had convinced them that they needed professional teeth cleanings every 3 months

Thing is, Taiwan's NHI covers dental care. If my insurance covered professional cleanings every 3 months here in the US, I'd go every 3 months, too.
But they're not "trumping" (which makes it sound as if they're making it up). They're just looking at

- who is likely to upgrade.

- target advertising at those people.

Seems eminently sensible to me.
Given that most of us can only afford to go to the dentist twice a year when our insurance covers it, what advice do you have for sussing out bad apples?
I'm not sure this is any different than any time before.

Before we had the internet, how did you answer questions? You either looked it up in a book, where you then had to make a judgment on whether you trusted the book, or you asked a trusted person, who could give you confidently wrong answers (your parents weren't right every time, were they? :) ).

I think the main difference here is that now anyone can publish, whereas before to make a book exist required the buy in of multiple people (of course, there were always leaflets).

The main difference now is distribution. But you still, as a consumer of information, have to vet your sources.
Far too many to list here, but some interesting ones re the evolution of life might be the complexes responsible for transcription of genes and translation into proteins, such https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_polymerase_III_holoenzyme, RNA polymerase (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RNA_polymerase), and the ribosome (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ribosome).

M4 Max: 4060 Geekbench Single-Core Score
Its not a strange reply at all. _All_ of those languages are cheating. Those benchmarks are junk because they don't test implementations in the language.
Funny, I have a folder of links of this very stuff: Future rainy day projects. Oh, to have the free time and focus!

Good job on the illustrations and the cultivating of so many projects into one book. I think you've given me a lifetime of weekend projects!

One note: you might want to put 'download' in the link to the PDF, so it downloads instead of showing up in a new browser window, which seems to be your OG design choice:

Alyssa's solution to the 4KB vs. 16KB page size discrepancy by running everything in a virtual machine feels like both a clever hack and a potential performance bottleneck. It makes me wonder about the long-term implications of such workarounds. Are we reaching a point where the complexity of bridging these gaps outweighs the benefits, especially when dealing with proprietary hardware designed to be a closed ecosystem?

This also touches on a broader question about the future of open-source efforts on platforms that are inherently restrictive. While it's inspiring to see games like Control running at 45fps on an M1 MAX with open-source drivers, it begs the question: Should the community continue to invest significant resources into making closed systems more open, or should efforts be redirected toward promoting more open hardware standards?

Apple's approach to hardware design warrants criticism. By creating GPUs with limitations that hinder standard functionalities like tessellation shaders and using non-standard page sizes, Apple places unnecessary obstacles in the path of developers. This closed ecosystem not only complicates the work for open-source contributors but also stifles innovation that could benefit all users.
That doesn't seem to be the case. Looks like it is a small number of times slower than C++.
I think if you added additional function calls to detect visual bugs or breaking flows, tools such as this could automate much of QA in addition to detecting non-intuitive UI design patterns.

So people transcribing audio/video content should be paying for the opportunity to do so? They are quite literally offering a service based on derivative work.

Surely this is already ironed out, no? What are laws regarding transcriptions?
Might be good for some "average" user but strikes me as bad for software developers or other folks with particular need for tight control.
It does cost a fair bit to remodel an old office.

But it's really easy to see it as "new office" = "nice office" - I've seen overbearing dentists who've been in business for 25 years so their office no longer hits the "nice" scale but they're still in the habit of recommending anything and everything. And dentists who moved into a new office more recently so everything is new and shiny, but they are more conservative.
I have gone through more than one cycle of automation already, and I'm not scared by the prospect of another. Most of the work programmers used to do back when I first entered the industry has long since been taken over by software, but there are far more programmers than ever.

If a significant share of the work today's programmers are doing is routine enough that new automation can handle it, so much the better! Human programmers will simply move on up to the next level of abstraction, as we have done before, and get on with the more interesting work of managing the robots.

I think my attitude is less "denial" than "cautious skepticism". I have heard many, many, many announcements of radical world-changing new technologies over the years, but as bright and shiny as the prospects appear to be, the realities invariably feature shortcomings and inconveniences and new problems that people then have to work around and deal with. I see no fundamental reason to expect that new LLM-driven automations will be any different.

One of my lecturers at university (in information theory) once talked about the conference where he had met Shannon. Shannon was already a legend, and didn't show himself much, so there was a lot of whispering, and someone figured out it would be nice to have him deliver a speech at the dinner. The room was buzzing with anticipation when Shannon got up from his chair; what wisdom would he impart upon the crowd?

“I haven't prepared anything to say. But I could always juggle a bit.” So he took out five balls and showed off his juggling. And that was that :-)

(Interestingly, said lecturer also mentioned this Roman numeral computer; this is the only time I've seen an actual picture of it!)
This is a hilariously bad take. I am going to guess you do not have ADHD? The people that do and cope successfully without medication, will probably count in your book as having exercised that muscle. But that problem doesn't actually go away. They are coping with it. It is a constant maintenance that takes energy away from simply being. It is permanent regardless of how much woo-woo meditation they do, unless you have actual evidence that this is an effective treatment?

Node.js is not necessarily bad, but React? What makes React great is the ability to embed the DOM in your app. For CLI? Square peg, round hole.

3D printing technology is amazing now. I used to struggle with my ABS prints warping 12 years ago with a PP3DP --- I couldn't even print a giant 3x3x3 rubik's cube that worked. Now there are lots of 3D printers that are essentially just zero configuration and everything works out of the box. I even printed a lens mount for my camera and it came out quite well aligned. So it is very nice to see some regular consumer 3D printers being good enough for a functional 34 x 34 x 34 cube.
lmao at unnecessary procedures being a new scam
There is an article that's a few years old of a guy going to ~60 different dentists to see what variety of services he's offered.

I remember he went to his original dentist to get a baseline and it was just a cavity.

He was suggested all the way up to full denture replacement, IIRC.

I do remember him making a connection to the office nicenwss.
> I fear there's not really a good way to vet Dentists effectively since most people probably never find out that they've been scammed for years. I'd love to learn some new strategies though.

It's something the government should be doing; running sting operations against dentists with compliants against them. Unfortunately, dentists and prosecutors are in the same social circles.
It's already happening, there are influencers hawking homemade toothpaste recipes on twitter.
There are a few things you can do. If these access patterns are well known ahead of time, you can train subdomain behavior into the embedding models by using prefixing. E.g. content: fixing a broken printer, tone: frustration about broken printer, and "fixing a broken printer" can all be served by a single model.

We have customers doing this in production in other contexts.

If you have fundamentally different access patterns (e.g. doc -> doc retrieval instead of query -> doc retrieval) then it's often time to just maintain another embedding index with a different model.
