I had chosen AutoGen over a number of other multi-agent frameworks out there because of some notable features and also the fact that it seemed to have MS's muscle behind it with a lot of activity with folks from a diverse set of backgrounds.
That said, what has u folded in the last few days both from the two main others of the original paper (now branching off with AG2), and the MS team (autogen-chat et al) has put all notions of stability in question.

In the meantime, while there were turf wars being waged in the Autogen arena, CrewAI has been building itself it to much more reliable and fully featured alternative. They have even removed LangChain as a dependency. The close association with LangChain had been a thorn in their side, IMO for some side and a reason for me to opt not to use.

Sad to see these event in the OSS community. I'll be looking at CrewAI for my next projects.
It’s surprising how many people get them mixed up even in the UK.

England is one country of the United Kingdom. Scotland, England and Wales make up the island of Great Britain, the largest of the British Isles. The UK also includes Northern Ireland. Hence: The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Island.

I was confused too, thought that Great Britain referred to the archipelago as a whole (excluding Ireland) rather than the largest island.

Money was not "free".

Borrowing costs went to nearly zero. That's not the same thing. You have to repay the money, you just don't have to repay it with interest.

I would have assumed people generally know this, but everybody (and I do mean everybody) talks like they don't know this. I would like to assume that "money is free" is just a shorthand, buuuut... again... these arguments! People like that EM talk like it was literally free money raining from the sky that could be spent (gone!) without it ever having to be repaid.

If you watched any of the long-form interviews Musk gave immediately after the acquisition, he made the point that if he hadn't bailed out Twitter, it had maybe 3 months of runway left before imploding.

Doubling headcount without a clear vision of how that would double revenues is madness. It is doubly so in orgs like Twitter or Netflix where their IT was already over-complicated.

It's too difficult for me to clearly and succinctly explain all the myriad ways in which a sudden inrush of noobs -- outnumbering the old guard -- can royally screw up something that is already at the edge of human capability due to complexity. There is just no way in which it would help matters. I could list the fundamental problems with that notion for hours.

I bet we would be very glad to receive such a transmission, even when knowing full well "replying" isn't a realistic option (both due to technology limitations and the RTT meaning that even if the reply receives were descendants, they'd be so far removed as to be entirely another ship-of-theseus civilisation)

> a) Accounting is not that hard. Also you can't be seriously making the argument that one of the richest man in this world does not know how federal funds are spent...

Politics is hard. Government spending is death by a thousand cuts, so the easy things to do are two: remove whole departments (remove all of the education, veterans, and defence, that will net you 1.5T) or ask the heads of each department to do the cuts. But then each one will face the same issue, and the deeper you go, the more you encounter people who want a specific spending e.g. reps who got elected supporting veteran support or education spending or a specific factory in Springfield, Illinois.

People favor spending cuts the way they favor tax breaks: don’t cut you, con’t cut me, cut that fellow behind the tree.[0] everyone's is for them in the abstract as long as they don't touch them.

And yes, I think the richest man in this world does not know how federal funds are being spent, based on the fact that he thinks he can cut "at least 2T" out 6.5T. To save 2T you'd have to erase the Department of Health[1]. If you cut 50% of Social Security, Health and Defence, you'll not get that, and people will riot.

Also, I point you to X, where Musk managed to save money by firing 70% of the workforce and <checks notes> losing 80% of the company value. The fact SpaceX and Tesla are successful[2] does not automatically translate in Musk being good at everything.

I've seen it stated variously that Little Britain is either Ireland, or Brittany.

For a long time I've felt that one of the traditional titles of the Russian czars, "Czar of all the Russias", was cooler than the titles I was aware of for other rulers. I was surprised to find the seal of an English queen on Wikipedia which clearly showed a Latin title translating as "Queen of all the Britains".

The switch from "King of Britain" to "King of the Britains" seems to have occurred during the reign of George III, judging by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Seal_of_the_Realm . None of those include an "all", but I'm sure it was present in the seal I saw.

some frontend frameworks - the React like ones - make that kind of design decision so easy to do that you might just do it without arguing if it was a good decision or not.

Disagree, but then again my soulless engineer's heart has close to zero tolerance for design for design's sake, so what do I know?

The most important part about convoying that an item is CSS is including the letters CSS. So while I am a little disgusted they wasted time on an icon at all, I will admit that many of our design language structures demand an icon. So I am somewhat relieved they managed to dodge the design for design's sake crowd and picked the best possible one. A non-descript box with the letters CSS in it.
After WWII there were several phases of deindustrialization in the UK.

- 45-55 the postwar boom took hold, manufacturing switched from weapons to electrical equipment (GEC), lighting (Thorn) cars (Rover, Austin…) and so on

- 55-65 wealth spread to the working class finally and the 30s slums were cleared (council houses and high rise flats). all this domestic growth hid the rise in other countries - far east, india and so on - which ate into traditional manufacturing export markets with low costs. the consumer was happy with low cost imports, better housing, and service industries - the Beetles - took off

- 65-75 poorly conceived loss making statist interventions to try to defend uncompetitive domestic primary industry coal (NCB), steel (British Steel) and secondary manufacturing (British Leyland), shipping … these were easy for unions to capture and bled the nation dry

- five years of economic disaster ushered in Thatcher, killed the unions, released the City and by 1985 services had eclipsed industry once and for all

In this potted history, the economic transformation of the UK from manufacturing to services was total by the late 90s. Similar economies … France, Germany have chosen a more managed mixed economy placing more value on job security and wide employment. Let’s see how that works out for Starmer and Reeves.

I was bullish on sodium ion batteries last year but now I don't see them taking off at least for the next few years unless sodium ion tech is 40-50% cheaper today.
The reason being no matter how much oil and gas companies keep harping about lithium shortage reality is lithium production is likely to stay ahead of demand for the next few years. And the incremental improvement in lithium battery tech and production each year keeps sodium ion tech from keeping any cost advantage.

That is one of the problems that is often omitted but matters a lot. After Putin dies, what kind of legacy will he leave for Russians? They already struggle with the attitude to adapt. Many choose to ignore it totally, which seems logical because as ordinary citizens they have zero influence on the war.

What about their children, though? You learn that your country attacked another one, your compatriots were torturing, mutilating, raping and murdering innocent civilians. You can no longer pretend, as all countries do, that they are the righteous one. Just like Germany after WW2, you need to live with this stain.

I used rebeccapurple a lot as well, unknowing of the touching story behind it. I coded CSS by hand (back in like 2010), and for placeholders, I used the simple colors I knew, like "green" or "blue". And "red", of course, too. But when typing "re" for "red", I noticed that it autocompletes to "rebeccapurple", which amused me, since I thought it's kind of a nonsense to have a color named like that. Over time, I used it a lot, and it became a kind of a favorite of mine.

Similarly, Chernobyl Nuclear power plant continued operating until 2000, 14 years after the incident.

Shutting down functioning reactors with no issues in an era where electricity consumption is growing on multiple fronts is wasteful, especially while there is no grid scale storage available and we need to decarbonise. Adding more reactors, as expensive as it is, will pay for itself over their lifetime (we have reactors today operating for 70 years and scheduled to operate past that, meanwhile solar panels and wind turbines have much shorter lifespans).
Diffusion models aren't actually LLMs, they're a different architecture. Which makes it even weirder we invented them at the same time.

There are a class of probabilistic models that have exactly this property -- exponential family models. While pedagogic examples of such models tend to be very simple, they need not be. A huge class of graphical models fall in this class and can be very flexible. The underlying statistical model of a Kalman filter is in this class.

These models have what are called sufficient statistics, that can be computed on data, s = f(D) where s is the sufficient statistics, D is the past data. The clincher is that there is a very helpful group theoretic property:

s = f(D ∪ d) = g( s', d) where s' = f(D). D is past data, d is new data, D ∪ d is the full complete data.

This is very useful because you don't have to carry the old data D around.

This machinery is particularly useful when

(i) s is in some sense smaller than D, for example, when s is in some small finite dimension.

(ii) the functions f and g are easy to compute

(iii) the relation between s and the parameters, or equivalently, the weights ⊝ of the model is easy to compute.

Even when models do not possess this property, as long models are differentiable one can do a local approximate update using the gradient of the parameters with respect to the data.

⊝_new = ⊝_old + ∇M * d.

(∇M being the gradient of the parameters with respect to data, also called score)

With exponential family models updates can be exact, rather than approximate.

This machinery applies both to Bayesian as well as more classical statistical models.

There are nuances also, where you can drop some of the effects of old data under the presumption that they no longer represent the changed model.
People conflate difficulty of Rust borrow checker with the inherent difficulty in systems programming. However, this is not true. Both C and C++ are primarily systems programming languages. However, that never dissuaded anyone from using them as general purpose programming languages. The same should apply to Rust as well.

Meanwhile, Rust is my programming language and I choose it unless there is a good reason to choose another language. I never really struggled with the borrow checker. I think a lot of beginners approach the BC wrongly. Trying to memorize the rule is definitely the wrong way.
