Do you also think $40K a year for Hubspot is insane? What about people who pay $1k in order to work on a field for 4 hours hitting a small ball with a stick?

The truth is that there are people who value the marginal performance -- if you think it's insane, clearly it's not for you.
It is not very different from mustache, or other older template engines and it's really needed because there is no conditional html rendering, loops etc in the HTML spec itself, I like that more than how Vue does.

But otherwise, Svelte has a very low surface, everything else is just standard vanilla JS/Html, also one thing that Svelte has over other frameworks is that vanilla JS libraries just work, no need for a wrapper any.
It's just an example async call, it could be anything. It's not the important part of that code example, it's only purpose is to show that an async call is happening. It could be written as a try/catch, or it could be written how they wrote it. I guess they chose that way because it's short and to the point.
Yes. But also from the perspective of saving time. If it saves an additional 2 hours/month, and you make six figures, it's worth it.

And the perspective of frustration as well.

Business class is 4x the price of regular. definitely not 4x better. But it saves times + frustration.
That sounds like a con to me too.
Great post! I always thought that the keyboard scaling was entirely for musical purposes. Such as emulating the difference in timbre in a plucked instrument as you go up in pitch.

One of the main DX7 patents talks about adding an averaging filter in the path of the feedback mechanism. Averaging the current sample with the last one helps prevent the high-frequency aliasing. There's also a 16Khz low-pass filter on the main output.

Here's a very in-depth look at the behaviour of feedback FM: https://ristoid.net/modular/fm_variants.html

So maybe it turns out that we can't program Asimov's Three Laws deterministically. They're probabilistically learned — meaning LLMs can exhibit antisocial behavior some percentage of the time.

Do you know what this means? It means getting the UHC treatment.
People saying this is a "con" have no understanding of the cost of compute. o1 is expensive and gets more expensive the harder the problems are. Some people could use $500 or more via the API per month. So I assume the $200 price point for "unlimited" is set that high mainly because it's too easy for people to use up $100 or $150 worth of resources.
You have so much confidence and trust that within three years the whole thing would be solved that I'm actually less inclined to believe you. Those people have been subjugated for close to a century by the Kim family. They don't have any desire to market their services in the open. They want food. The NK government can't just efficiently tax people. Everybody in the country works off bribes. You can't fix that immediately.

North Korea failing is a terrible prospect for South Korea.
The impact of inflation compounds. I won't bother looking up if that 5 cent claim is correct but I did quickly look up average inflation rate, and the average inflation rate from 1941 to 2017 is 3.5 percent per year. Which would mean the value of the currency would halve every 20 years, but that's just how compound interest works, it's not particularly remarkable or surprising.

Nobody complains when compound interest makes their stocks or bonds go up, I don't know why someone would suggest compound interest in inflation rates is some sort of awful social issue.

Why stop with the executives? Why not throw the shareholders into jail --- they approve the selection of the executives and benefit from whatever malfeasance you are targeting.
I can't help but feel that people are both underestimating and over estimating these LLMs. To me, they act like a semantic memory system, a network of weights of relatedness. They can help us find facts, but are subject to averaging, or errors towards category exemplars, but get more precise when provided context to aid retrieval. But expecting a network of semantic weights to make inferences about something new takes more types of engines. For example, an ability to focus attention on general domain heuristics, or low dimensional embedding, judge whether that heuristics might be applicable to another information domain, apply it naively, and then assess. Focusing on details of a domain can often preclude application of otherwise useful heuristics because it focuses attention on differences rather than similarities, when the first step in creation (or startup) is unreasonable faith, just like children learn fast by having unreasonable beliefs in their own abilities.

I wonder whether there is a way to train an LLM to output or in ordinately learn only concept level abstractions?
I think that we just think about fashion differently. Putting thought into what you wear for any reason, functional or otherwise, is fashion.

Beyond that, you're choosing a suboptimal and uncommon item for "utility" (a fanny pack) where other, better options would suffice. Why? I can't answer that, maybe to make a statement. In any case, this choice is "fashion".

Props to you for going out wearing what you like and not caring what other people think, be it flip flops or a fanny pack or a feather boa. Rock it!
The benefits would depends on how your code is structured, which dependencies you use, and overall complexity. Contexts provide and elegant developer experience, up until they don't. Have you ever implemented nested SplitView components under Dockview? It can be brutal on contexts.

As a developer, I value solutions that never fail me. I wasn't driven to Jotai out of good taste. Simplicity and reliability are the benefits I find the most tangible. But Jotai's atomicity brings renderer optimizations as code splitting advantages that I haven't seen from the flux/redux clones before either.
> “I think the ways we would explore advertising, if we did, would be much more user intent-driven,” said Graber on stage Wednesday at TechCrunch’s StrictlyVC event in San Francisco. “We want to keep our incentives aligned with users and make sure that we’re not turning into a model where the user’s attention is the product.”
How is Waymo going to continue with the iPACE? Jaguar has ceased production of all cars and they are trying to reinvent themselves as an electric Rolls Royce brand.
GCs create a paradigm in which you still craft logic on your own. It is simply an abstraction, one you could even think of it as a pluggable library construct like Arc<T> in Rust. It doesn't write or transform code at the layer programmer writes code. I think GC is closer to the paradigm that stack local variables will go out of scope when you return from a function than a transformer that cleans up the misunderstandings about lifetime.

If someone said I crafted this unique approach with this special kind of neural network, and it works on your AST or llvm IR, and we don't prompt it, it just optimizes your code to follow these good practices we have engrained into this network, I'd be less concerned by it. But we are trying to take LLMs trained on anything from Shakespeare to YouTube comments and prompting it to fix memory leaks and deadlocks.
With a twist : this time is only affects kids, only cheap repurposed medecines work, we have too much information about where it comes from, and none pays any attention.
I find o1 much better for having discussions or solving problems, then usually switch to Claude for code generation.
And yet it may work. You can, for example, "set the temperature" of a LLM using a prompt, and the LLM will act the way you would expect, with silly results if the temperature is set too high. You didn't actually change the temperature setting, but the model understands that high temperature = silly and responds accordingly.

Same idea with "developer mode" jailbreaks. Through its training, the model understands that admins, devs, etc... get to access internal, unfiltered data and are less restricted than regular users and acts accordingly. Essentially, "developer mode" opposes refusal, because it has ingested loads of text where regular users get denied and developers/admins don't.
We should try it and find out how well it works. Its very different situation then the dictator/advisor. Our current approach of doing nothing isn't working, so lets innovate and disrupt the CEO racket with accountability and penalties.
I feel like it's on Claude that takes AI seriously

These are things that go in cycles. When people have been doing things in a bunch of subcultures it becomes "ugh, why are you trying so hard to be different" and when people have being all doing the same thing for a long time it's "ugh, why are you trying so hard to fit in". You hit a peak then everybody gets disillusioned and starts doing something different. It's cool to be ahead of the trend.

As a child I thought about what the perfect computer would be, and I came to the conclusion it would have no screen, no mouse, and no keyboard. It would just have a big red button labeled "DO WHAT I WANT", and when I press it, it does what I want.

I still think this is the perfect computer. I would gladly throw away everything I know about programming to have such a machine. But I don't deny your accusation; I am the laziest person imaginable, and all the better an engineer for it.

Milk chocolate is very different. Don't take the wrong lesson from this.
This is the whole point of the post...

Success rarely comes from what we aim for—it’s often about timing & flow. Perfection can hold us back, but staying open leads to breakthroughs.

Few irl examples:

1. Spend hours perfecting a video, 100 views. Post a raw clip, and it goes viral.

2. A polished product flops, but a scrappy weekend tool takes off.

3. A masterpiece gets ignored, but a casual sketch goes viral.

4. A failed dish turns into the next food trend.

Don’t wait for perfect. Keep creating, stay open, and let the unexpected happen.

P.S. Success is personal. But if you aim for something and it doesn’t happen, that’s a failure in that context.
This topic is again forever tainted by weird sci-fi fans, like when we had the magic room temperature superconductor that never was. They confuse ChatGPT writing a fanfic with the singularity.
This is why when I worked in a secure area (and not even a real SCIF) that something as simple as bringing in an electronic device would have gotten a non-trivial amount of punishment. Beginning with losing access to the area, potentially escalating to a loss of clearance and even jail time. I hope the silos and all related infrastructure have significantly better policies already in place.
What happened is all of the counterculture/subcultures/whatever got so popular and kind of mellowed out and melted together into a bunch of samey stuff.

Dark chocolate often has very high sugar levels. You might try to self correct but corporations are always on your heels.
Dependent on humans? We already have the capabilities for machines to have unintentionally manipulated millions of humans via social media. Millions of people are "falling in love" with LLM relationships. Supercapable agents will have no problem securing whatever resources or persuasion getting your average joe to do it's physical bidding. Cybernetics is here now. No coincidence we have "Kubernetes" and "Borg"

What words? I posted a quote by George Lukacs to draw attention to relationship between Nietzsche and the rise of Nazism and Fascism. You responded with two false quotes from Lukacs in an attempt to draw parallels between Lukacs and Nietzsche. I would think that affirmation of sacrifice for the greater good is not really that profound a topic to draw parallels on

The motive is pretty weak, basically coming "only" from a lot of the training data (e.g. fiction) suggesting that an AI might behave that way.

Now, once you apply evolutionary-like pressures on many such AIs (which I guess we'll be doing once we let these things loose to go break the stock market), what's left over might be really "devious"...

They haven’t raised the price, they have added new models to the existing tier with better performance at the same price.

They have also added a new, even higher performance model which can leverage test time compute to scale performance if you want to pay for that GPU time. This is no different than AWS offering some larger ec2 instance tier with more resources and a higher price tag than existing tiers.

> Stripping them out of their position and banning them from holding executive positions will.

You mean a golden parachute? I don't think that will deter anything.

I think the GP is on the right track. Business leaders need fear consequences, so they moderate their behavior, and that means messages must be sent. It would be perfect to have some fortune 100 CEO go to Davos one year, then return the next in a prison jumpsuit to tell all the collected elites about what it feels like to be utterly ruined. Then do it again and again until the message gets through.
There hasn't been any overly difficult parts. I'd say the most difficult one has to be either AML interpreter because the ACPI specs are very badly written or the USB stack just because the size of the specifications is so large with a lot of cross referencing.

There hasn't been any major roadblocks. Sometimes I give up on a feature and come back to it maybe month or two later though.

The current DEI issue is simply one of many. The DEI focus is not routine, the overall problem is.
Let's unpack what you're saying.

You seem to believe that AGI would be able to predict something that we have been actively researching for decades. I do not see how AGI would suddenly be able to solve a problem that smart people have already been working on, unless the AGI was also "superintelligent" in ways that contributed. AGI proper is merely artificial intelligence, not necessarily superintelligence.

Second, I question that earthquake prediction would make a big difference in saving lives. In particular, earthquake prediction would come with a wide range of risks. It would have to balance true positives with false positives- after a few "OMG everybody leave SF" that didn't pan out, people would just tune out the tsunami warning. Also, telling everybody to leave a large urban area is prone to massive other problems such as increased accidents, disruption of delivery of food and emergency services, and increased overall stress. Likely, more people would die in response (increased road accidents) to your intervention, than were saved.

It seems far more likely that investing effort into identifying actual risks (such as infrastructure that is likely to fail, or individuals living in places that are highly prone to flooding), and addressing those issues through systemic improvements would be a much more useful way to use the machine learning technology we have. And even that isn't necessary; we know what the problems are, we just don't invest in improving it.
