As a former bakery owner, I saw a big tech gap between AI and traditional industries.

That's why we created Jane Turing.

As the founder, my vision for Jane Turing:

1/ No Code: Ideal for non-techie solo entrepreneurs.
2/ Personal Touch: Jane has her own phone number and email.
3/ Seamless Integration: Works in your favorite messaging app.
4/ Versatile Roles: Your PA, Event Manager, Social Content Manager, and Efficiency Booster!

It seems like you follow it closely enough to have a strongly-biased opinion.
That sounds like good work, but we can't ignore the context. Nvidia can train their own LLM's on proprietary Nvidia designs, which isn't a possibility for a random startup.

If the evaluation of the approach is "it works great if you train it on a few decades of the best designs from a successful fabless semiconductor company", I would say that if you plan to use that method as a startup, you're clearly going to fail. Nobody's going to give away their crown jewels to train an LLM that designs chips for other companies.
Mastodon is pretty open as well. Just won’t be the entire firehouse due to the decentralized nature of it.

I haven't actually monitored power usage during parties. But I should do that at the next one... I have better equipment for than now that since we finished the solar install!

I suspect though that even when the game machines are running they probably don't draw all that much power compared to the HVAC. We seem to have ~10-12kW going to HVAC throughout the day... this feels broken to me (these are supposed to be high-efficiency heat pumps and such) but I haven't been able to figure out what's wrong yet.

Whereas if all the computers were drawing the theoretical maximum their PSUs support (750W each) that would be 15kW, but in practice I suspect they draw a small fraction of that most of the time, even when in-game.

I loved this book so much when I was in high school. I read it again during college as well. Had a very big impact on me. He’s a really great writer and does a nice job profiling the various researchers and explaining the theory and ideas.
If your friend lives in the US and perhaps even otherwise, I wouldn’t characterize that as focus and certainly wouldn’t envy it .

It is a complete disregard of freedom and rights that generations of people before him fought and died over so he has the luxury of ignoring elections .

A luxury he or his next generations (1) may not have in the future as a result of their attitude and indifference.

It is one thing not to be able leave the world a better place than we got it, it is something else to leave it behind worse not even due to greed but of sheer indifference.

(1) and this has nothing to do with trump directly or any hyperbole that democracy is on the line. A interested population is key to not having power concentrated in the hands of few who will exploit it inevitably.
> Sealioning (also sea-lioning and sea lioning) is a type of trolling or harassment that consists of pursuing people with relentless requests for evidence, often tangential or previously addressed, while maintaining a pretense of civility and sincerity ("I'm just trying to have a debate"), and feigning ignorance of the subject matter. It may take the form of "incessant, bad-faith invitations to engage in debate", and has been likened to a denial-of-service attack targeted at human beings. The term originated with a 2014 strip of the webcomic Wondermark by David Malki, which The Independent called "the most apt description of Twitter you'll ever see".

The comic strip in question is actually adorably absurd:

I should have included Mastodon in my list, my apologies. Theoretically, it's the most copesthetic project.

Huh, almost as if hosting everyone on a centralized service isn't sustainable, and self-hosted, federated social media is more sustainable as more people come online?

The couple times I've visited people's Bluesky profiles I've noticed they got hit with false-positive moderation actions for completely innocuous stuff, which cemented my initial impressions that the platform has fundamental problems that will probably just get worse over time.

People have this proposed solution like, "Bsky should just have a user fee"... But this just reminds me how Mastodon servers are typically run by small communities and friend groups which solicit a bit of donation here and there to keep things running. Not lining the pockets of some large/powerful central org/corp but rather keeping the money within the community. As an added bonus each community gets to set our own rules which can vary from what other servers choose, thus ensuring greater trust and agency within one's self-governed community. Adding to this, servers form "relationships"/rapport with other ethically/socially-compatible communities. When there's a moderation action that goes awry (not that I have personally even seen this happen, just giving a comparison to Bsky), you have direct communication with the person/people involved because it's literally your social circle, not some stranger who will never know/care who you are.

BTW, how to prevent spam on mastodon: block mastodon.social (the original "default server" people keep signing up to for some reason)
there's Named Data Networking (went by Content-Centric Networking earlier). You request data, not a url, the pipe/path becomes the CDN. If any of your nearest routers have the bytes, your request will go no further.

I don't see it much mentioned the last few years, but the research groups have ongoing publications. There's an old 2006 Van Jacobson video that is a nice intro.
I also tried it on Kiwi, using an s21 FE which is a few years old but not exactly a slouch and it crashed after about 10 seconds, same as Chrome.
> This is the #1 problem I see with people trying to learn a new language (not just Rust).

Definitely! I've also noticed people will learn a group of similar languages, like Java, C#/.Net, then Kotlin as the most distant relation. Now, they think they know many languages, but they mainly have the same core idea. So when they try something new like Haskell or Swift or Rust, they think it's doing something different from the "norm" in a really irritating way.
I expect good recommendations from DOGE, and some amount of implementation of those ideas that is non-zero, but also barely makes a dent.
A large amount of moderation problems could very easily be solved by a standard KYC process. You can sign up and view content without it, but as soon as you want to post, you need to submit a driver's license or passport. Sure, it's a pain but the benefit is people will become A LOT better behaved. I don't think this is necessary for small community platforms but for something like X/Bluesky/etc it is needed. It is absolutely beyond me why these platforms aren't enforcing stronger measures like this.
While it's true no one has a gun to my head to defend myself, folks post stuff that assert my politics are indefeasible quite often.
But if you can do that, you know you have plenty of time for a civilization to develop on the other end to listen.

There’s some really interesting theory that stems from that relationship too.

For example, there are only three distinct diminished “loops”. These each define tonal centers because each pair of tritones uniquely identifies a 5 chord. You can view a fully diminished chord as a “gateway” of sorts into 4 different keys, depending on what root note you slap on it.

> I picked git to focus on here because it’s one of the cases where there’s the least clear need for change, and therefore both the most room for debate and the most interesting conversation to be had.

I remember the first time I was told that a friend had a co-worker who went by "They." At the time, I thought that was just someone being a self-important asshole. This was nearly a decade ago and the conversation (between my friend and me) didn't have any of the nuance of discussing gender. I just heard it as some asshole who wanted to be treated special with no context.

Here we are in whatever year this is and I've learned a lot since. I have trans friends and I'm sure I know some non-binary people who just haven't told me. I'm a big supporter of treating people as they'd like to be treated. In fact, had the reasoning behind the request been conveyed to me at the time, I may have completely understood (I can't say for sure, I was less open / empathetic then than I am now).

Anyway, just because there's "the least clear need for change" doesn't mean anything to me. It's simple. Some people would prefer if we updated the terminology for what seems to me to be pretty valid reasoning. Is it difficult for us to adapt? Does it impact our productivity? Do we find it offensive to acknowledge the request?

If the answer to any of those hypotheticals is anything other than "no," perhaps it's time for some self-reflection. It's no skin off my ass to just call it "main." As the cited tweet argues, it's a shorter word, so we're improving efficiency and we should all be able to get behind that.

My partner has told me that it's time to come watch tv together, so I'm not proofreading. Apologies for grammatical errors or points that could have been clearer.

There could be some pessimism or learned hesitancy, but on the other hand perhaps we can just enjoy it while it is here? I thought the same thing about people building businesses on top of ChatGPT, yet they managed to have exits before any rug-pulls.

I don't see what you mean by this at all

The goal of the course is not to teach programming skills, it's to teach computer science. The difference is explained quite thoroughly in the lectures. One might even say that answering the question "what is computer science?" is one of the core goals of the course and a major part of the philosophy of the professors who created the course.

The argument being made by the comparisons to geometry and astronomy is that in any discipline there is a difference between means and ends: what you are attempting to achieve is distinct from the tools you're using to achieve it. Furthermore, it's a mistake to believe that the discipline is all about the tools. No, the tools are the means, not the end.
The Administration creates the budget and submits it to congress. This is why the Administrative office of "Management and Budget" exists. This happens every year and has for as long as I've been alive.

It seems possible that AI could be a partial coach to Junior Developers at each step.

Currently, it seems like AI can more and more make a non coder into a coder, which might help get things built that never would be, and existing coders into a 10-20x coder.
Maybe this lends weight to the idea that the strongest social network is decentralized and not reliant on a single point of ownership/control/failure? :)
I don't think LLMs are suitable for chess. Witness the result of a chess game this year between ChatGPT (OpenAI) and Gemini (Google AI). The LLMs had a very poor record at picking legal moves, let alone good moves:

"Gemini's mistakes and ChatGPT's misses tell a lot of the story. One AI kept giving the other one opportunities, the other kept refusing those gifts. The good news for ChatGPT is that it made more "Good" or better moves than Gemini made mistakes and blunders. The bad news for Gemini is, well, almost everything that happened. ...

The final illegal move tally was Gemini 32, ChatGPT 6. That makes sense; it would have been crazy if the AI good enough to win was also bad enough to make more illegal moves. But it also means Gemini only went 50% in picking a legal move, while ChatGPT was over 80%."

> Household income is up, but individual income is down, by the same source: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/MEPAINUSA672N

Indeed it's down a bit. The reason I didn't link it is that I think household income matters more than personal income, because it's more relevant to paying for the big expenses like the household itself, but it depends how people share expenses.

US household sizes historically never grow though: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/graph/?g=cWvT

And here's personal real earnings of "workers", which is up: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/LES1252881600Q

I think the flat "median personal income" has to do with the baby boomers hitting retirement age and leaving their jobs, but not really sure. It doesn't help that both median income charts end in 2023.

> These are different things, even in broad definitions.

In a high unemployment period they'd be different, but since we have historically low unemployment they're close.

I linked the paper because it goes into detail and I don't have anything else as good. For general income you can see graphs here: https://realtimeinequality.org/?id=income&incomeend=03012023...

It's okay. Very unstable around 2021, flat but better than 2019 since then. Could certainly be better.

I think it could be improved if we'd kept some of the welfare improvements from 2020 (namely child tax credit expansion), but highly engaged people got distracted advocating for student loan relief since then, and voters are never really into welfare programs even when they're the ones getting it.

> I believe that they are ignorant first.

Thus "consider" ;)

I do think people mainly answer that kind of survey based on what they hear in the news; they're not that selfish and want to seem a little savvy, so if you're asked "is the economy bad" you're going to answer with what you're hearing from everyone else even if you just went on a nice vacation.
> but these days I think the much more important skill is designing systems.

It is hard to design systems if you don't have the perspective of implementing them. Yes, you move up the value chain to designing things, no, but no, you don't get to skip gaining experience lower down the value chain.

> What computer science doesn’t teach you is how memory caching works in CPUs.

That was literally my first quarter in my CS undergrad 30 years ago, the old Hennessy and Patterson book, which I believe is still used today. Are things so different now?

> The much more common problems I have is how to deal with fault tolerance, correctness in distributed locks and queues, and system scalability.

All of that was covered in my CS undergrad, I wasn't even in a fancy computer engineering/EE background.
Not just Unpopular, but extraordinarily incorrect.

The problem in your formulation is that the bully gets to label what feels 'weird' to him. There is no universal definition of weird; it is entirely the bully's world. A victim can be shy. A victim can have an interest that the bully feels threatened by. A victim could simply not have enough friends yet (being new at school, for example), and the power imbalance is there for the taking.
I read this as a high school student and saw a presentation on mandelbrot set around the same time. The presenter showed this equation: z = z**2 + c and explained how complex numbers worked. I went home and thought really hard- harder than I had, clearly figuring out some stuff I didn't know before (like mapping a small floating point interval to the "high-res" screen of my apple //e.
Eventually I got a working program and started it... and it didn't get very far before I had to go to bed. I didn't even know at the time whether you could leave a computer on overnight- would it overheat? But I did and woke up to... nothing. My BASIC program hadn't gotten to any of the set yet, just the bands around it. At that point, I decided I needed a faster computer and eventually upgraded to a 80286 DOS machine which I think was able to run FRACTINT. FRACTINT was a clever optimization that used integer (which was all my poor 286 could do) and a number of other tricks to speed up set rendering. It was a very useful lesson in how to optimize.

That book, and several others (K&R C, Hackers) helped expand my high school mind and point me in the direction of high performance computing, complex systems, and simulation. The butterfly effect played a huge role in my understand of classical causality.

Ah, Salvatore Pais.

Those patents, if real, would mean more than all other scientific discoveries in the last fifty years.

Quoting an article about him [0]: "every physicist we have spoken to over the better part of two years asserting that the “Pais Effect” has no scientific basis in reality and the patents related to it were filled with pseudo-scientific jargon".

Pais has of course offered no data, no evidence and no mechanism by which any of his so-called inventions would work.

It is tendentious to point out only the difficulties in finding affirmative evidence for dark matter when MOND is doing no better in that regard. If, by that standard, dark matter is bullshit, then, mutatis mutandis, so is every other hypothesis that has been presented so far - but the observations that prompted them in the first place are not going away. It is inconsistent to call just one of them bullshit, and pointless to call them all that.
