>The EU doesn't really do integration, it assumes everyone is a self-motivated tech worker who will do all the integration work themselves.

The EU consists of welfare states. Thus the incentive structure for an immigrant is totally different than in the US. Further more MENA immigration which is what Europe has most of is not the same kind of immigration that the US enjoys. The amount of state expenditure on facilitating and integrating immigrants in western Europe is insane.

Western Europe has bendt over backwards the last 50 years to accommodate people of cultures that have pretty much nothing in common with European culture, values and historically has been the enemy both culturally and religiously - the world did not start in 1945 as many on the left in Europe thinks.

> I think the penguin believes Joao is ... a penguin as well

This idea seems completely ridiculous to me. Penguins have eyes, they can obviously see that a human is not a penguin. But it seems like this is a common idea for some reason. Does anyone know where this idea that animals can't distinguish between different species comes from?
Outside of a few odd citations in the intro (which is innocuous) I don't see anything shady or dishonest in this paper after a cursory skimming. But I do worry about 60% of the authors being NVIDIA employees, where the corresponding author is not a staff scientist, but rather a "technical marketing engineer" whose job "focuses on inspiring developers by sharing examples of how NVIDIA quantum technologies can accelerate research."[1] So I am wondering about what articles didn't make it to this review, where ANN/GPU-accelerated QC research didn't work very well or was too expensive to justify. It makes me suspect I am being advertised to, and that this paper must be read with an unusually high degree of scrutiny.

Like I said: there's nothing obviously shady or dishonest here. But this is also an arXiv paper, so no need for authors to disclose conflicts of interest. (OpenAI has pioneered the technique of using the arXiv to distribute academic infomercials with zero scientific value.) And I worry about the distortion this stuff has on honest scientific work. Bell Labs was always an independent subsidiary: Bell's marketing staff did not take ownership of Bell Labs' research. The fact that NVIDIA's marketer has a PhD and an "engineer" title doesn't actually mitigate any of this.

The problem with using LLMs for OCR is hallucinations. It makes it impossible to use in business use cases such as insurance, banking and health/medical — which demands high accuracy or predictable inaccuracy rate. Not to mention handling scale — processing millions of documents with speed and affordable costs.

For all the test use cases mentioned in this thread, I’d suggest trying LLMwhisperer. A general purpose text Pre-processor/OCR built for LLM consumption. https://pg.llmwhisperer.unstract.com

Hi Nicolae! First of all, congrats on launching! It is very hard to go through all the steps.

After reviewing gapsly, I still don't know what it does. Is it a productivity app, right? Like slack, teams but without the chat?

I think first thing you need to improve is the message you are conveying in the landing page. It is confusing and not enticing. Customers won't stop by to read and try to understand your product, you need to make it irresistible.
I don't know the correct name for it (I was told it's an "Ice Skater's knot" or a "Hockey Player's knot"), but doing two passes around the first loop while tying an otherwise normal bow is also far more secure than a traditional bow.

And yes, when written like that it's a bit hard to visualize but if you tie your shoe with "two passes around the first loop" in mind, it's a pretty natural motion.
Why would the penguin need to think the person is not a penguin?

Penguins do not have huge exposure to other animals that walk. And anything that walks upright is a penguin, is it not? He's clearly not a pony or a sheep, nor is he a seagull.
On a practical level, some reliance on commentary is necessary, no? Or at least a combination of commentary and curation of the constant firehose of new information, which feels like a form of implied commentary itself.

Primary sources are only an improvement on commentary if, between you and the commentator, you are the one with the combination of expertise, time, and objectivity better suited to extract truth from the source, and this weighing of suitability is going to vary from source to source.

New Computer Science research? Maybe I can parse it better than some. New novel treatment for insert-disease-here? I need some help.
> how do you express, not in Rust source code but in the English language, all the checks to be performed, and neither miss things out nor unknowingly accept programs a real Rust compiler will reject ?

I think this is unintentionally stuck in the mindset of "the purpose of a language specification document is to enable armchair language lawyers to flame each other on Usenet about whether or not such-and-such degenerate edge case is technically valid". But a specification doesn't need to be written in English, it can be written as a formal proof, and indeed I would expect a theoretical Rust spec to specify the behavior of the borrow checker as just such a proof. Rust's borrow checking may no longer be as simple as the lexically-scoped model that existed as of Rust 1.0, but it's not like the extensions that have been added since then are ad-hoc; they're all still designed to result in a model that is provably sound.

Furthermore, you are dealing with someone (maintainer) who is giving their time for free to further the project so corps can use it to build stuff. Who better for a corporation to make unrecompensed demands from? They already demonstrate willingness to work for free.
I do lean on commentary a bit. Primary sources tend to be dense, or rely on specialist knowledge. But the key difference, I think, is I prefer commentators who refer to primary sources, explain what it means, and explain the ways it could be or is misunderstood. So my main input on a subject I'm not invested in enough to be knowledgeable about might be (for example) Abigail Thorn or LegalEagle, but they don't stand in for the source with their own heavily biased spin.

I think the main difference is how seriously an entertainer takes the material. Even John Oliver cites sources and has a team of researchers and writers who try to make sure they represent the source material accurately.
> It feels a bit weird to say that the presidency of the United States doesn’t have any effect on who the chair of the FTC is

Because it requires Senate confirmation.

The US has one of the weakest presidencies globally for that reason.

Other than foreign policy, presidents are largely hemmed by that fact.
There's also this: https://www.ted.com/talks/terry_moore_how_to_tie_your_shoes and several other copycat videos on youtube.

Simply tie the 'bunny knot' the other way (start with a loop on the left instead of right), apparently.

Until you realize it totally depends on how you made the initial 'twist laces together' loop.

It's not easy to see from the video, but he's doing left-over-right, and so a right-loop for the main bow is of course wrong.

If you make the initial twist right-over-left and then under-and-through (as I learned), then you can tie the bow starting with the right loop, and the resulting knot does not twist vertical when tensioned, and does not come undone easily.

So yes, some people have been doing it wrong, but it's easier to fix the initial twist loop than the main bow loop imho.

Ian's knot looks even more secure though.

> I rolled my eyes and had trouble taking the rest of the article seriously when such an implausible thought experiment came so early in the article without being criticized for the deep flaws in this assumption

The thought experiment wasn't supposed to be 'plausible'. It's purpose was to introduce the concept of worldviews residing in a high dimensional space, which could perhaps be approximated. It was also actually a quote from an earlier article, with more context.

> I don't think anyone is internally consistent all the time

I agree. Only a moron or a God could accomplish such a feat. However, this doesn't invalidate the thought experiment - all you need to do is add a time axis.

"On this particular morning, the Judge had dreamed that she sat in a beautiful parlor while doves fed grain to her kittens. Her general amiability is notably up, and she will deliver far less lenient verdicts all morning because of her contrarian tendencies. Then, a bone in her smoked haddock sandwich triggers repressed childhood memories, leaving her 31.64% more disaffected and apathetic." - The thought experiment could encompass full knowledge of all of this, from moment to moment.

> This is why we won't ever be able to, for example, train up AI surrogates to go have all our arguments for us, on a societal level ... and let them make decisions about agreements that should govern our actions

Is that why? Or is it because by the time AI is that advanced the likelihood of our being able to control it is virtually nil, thanks to a breakneck developmental arms race...

Besides which, being frustrated with clarity is something of a contradiction in itself, lol. I imagine a hyper-intelligent being could teach us to be better people in a way we'd actually like, if they were into that sort of thing. The Culture books explore this quite well.

The amount of strictness or enforcement behind the word "discourage" in "discourage 1:1 communication" in the parent post is open to interpretation.

What you have is people using a tool for different objectives, and when their chosen behavior hinders your objectives things seem out of whack.

I'm against shoving an eye of sauron communication hose down people's throats. I simply give my constructive feedback after the fact. E.g. when someone dm's me I say, "so-so is waiting for this to be done for their thing, so mention this part in the channel." or "the other team would need to know this for a refactor, so add this info to the wiki." If someone feels the need for dm'ing for some psychological safety so be it. But the cost of that safety is additional communication overhead for filling in gaps that the person should be ok with. And the people that value the psychological safety they gain usually don't object or have no grounds to object to a duplication of communication to fill those gaps when someone points out those gaps exists.

Let's flip the question. What is it that Ruby does better than Elixir for this domain?

I can't think of anything. One could argue that Ruby might have a larger package repo to pull in dependencies from, but this being a telecom adjacent domain you'll find that Elixir and OTP solves some tricky problems rather well that mainly object oriented languages tend to struggle with.

You'd also get out of having to skip between your application language and Golang down in Livekit, since the Membrane folks have built a standalone WebRTC platform: https://github.com/elixir-webrtc

In production Ruby code bases also tends to degrade over time. The team will sometimes find itself under duress and push magic tricks that Ruby allows to prod. Perhaps it's a matter of taste or whatever, but I've found most of the Rails applications I've come across somewhat hard to learn and debug. Similar to annotation driven applications in Java things can get really weird and brittle. These things are harder to accomplish in Elixir, which also seems to get a rather clever gradual typing system.

> Can they just get people on the Acting title and not worry about senate confirmation?

No.

The people who get "Acting" titles only have a lifespan of a couple months AND they need to be existing members of the bureaucracy who are 1 level below the senate appointed role.

The US is not a parliamentary system like India, UK, Canada, or Australia where the executive has power over cabinet nomination.

The US's system was explicitly built so that the president is hemmed in this manner.
Destroy it now.
He does not need to pardon himself if he has presidental immunity for offical acts for the rest of his life. That just hinges on the definition of offical acts, which will be made by a partisan and corrupt supreme court.
In fact, assuming that penguins 'penguipomorphize' is a way of anthropomorphizing them. They might, though.
Yeah. FWIW, we shipped PC games since the early 2000s written in C++ where the C++ stdlib was banned (for various reasons, not just memory safety), and our custom container classes were bounds checked via custom asserts which stayed in the code for the shipped game (and the rest of the code also peppered with asserts).

...and then you still had to argue with some circles of the C++ community why the game and engine code doesn't use the stdlib. It's crazy that it takes decades to convince some people that a bad idea is simply a bad idea.
> The sharp rise in Dota bot performance is apparently causing people internally to worry that the timeline to AGI is sooner than they’d thought before.

I do not see why one would worry about AGI just because there is a rise in bot performance. What kind of performance are we talking about? I have written bots for various games myself but never once I thought I am creating "intelligence" or that it would ever lead to that.
Anecdotal, I've had an Asus ROG laptop for close to 10 years now and it's still mint except for the battery. Aluminium frame and solid with Linux (even bluetooth works on Ubuntu, imagine that). I'd replace the battery and keep using it, but I'm not sure if it's worth the investment at this point given that it's DDR3. But when I go out to buy a new one, it'll probably be a TUF or something.

Asus may have deplorable predatory customer service, but if I buy the thing from a local reseller they have to deal with that instead of me if something goes wrong, so it doesn't really affect me haha.
You could quite easily use a t420 keyboard in a t440 with a few pins masked which was the last traditional thinkpad keyboard.

Speaking of network debugging tools, I really miss the network connectivity troubleshooting tool (and supporting network configuration database service) at Meta that has panopticon-like awareness of all networks, network rules, host firewall rules, and user/service user privileges. It ran with syntax paraphrased like the following:

{{whatever_it_was_called}} {{src_ip_or_host[:src_port]}} {{dest_ip_or_host_or_network}}:{{dest_port}} [service_or_user_privileged_membership_group]

It walks every hop and identifies any misconfiguration.

As I understand it, the point of these attestations is that you can see what goes into a build on GitHub - if you look at the recorded commit on the recorded repo, you can be confident that the packages are made from that (unless your threat model is GitHub itself doing a supply chain attack). And the flip side of that is that if attestations become the norm, it's harder to slip malicious code into a package without it being noticed.

That's not everything, but it is a pretty big step. I don't love the way it reinforces dependence on a few big platforms, but I also don't have a great alternative to suggest.

The point about trepanning wasn’t that it was deadly but that it is wrong. It doesn’t help the underlying problems. The answer to why people keep doing it is desperation and the immune system works, which means most illnesses work themselves out, including after the ineffective intervention.

I've got an original Thinkpad X13s that I' picked up about a year and a half ago, used, for a travel laptop. It's hard to hate in the same way that M-series MacBooks are now.

Firefox works great and I can use WSL with an ARM linux and run IntelliJ inside of that.

It has a lot of appeal! It’s like those city-guessing games where you progressively close in on a street scene in Łódź or Tangier. Here’s how I’d polish it:

- Ember provides some graphs and those are just easier to read than 400 squares. Unless they had nuclear, I needed the scale of countries every time.

- Throw a quick distance calculation on the table. Nearest neighbor in both mix and generation. Reveal those toward the end rather than continent. For example, if the answer is Barbados, you might get “not Guam” and “not Trinidad & Tobago”
Black-on-black is a big problem. You can't make an app use a dark mode unless it's painstakingly crafted to support it. Only trivial apps would work by changing some system-wide palette. Also, if there is any artwork (button icons etc) then that has to be done in two or more sets, for varying backgrounds. Few icons would work well on both a light and dark background.
