Would have been considerably more favorable for you not to respond, you didn't add any new thought here.

Note that on this site we like to write comments that other people can take something away from, ideally something of substance. So if you feel the emotions taking over consider asking yourself if the comment is adding something that is worth to read for people who aren't the person you're arguing against. If the answer is "No", not posting is the better option.

Think about considering online discussions on this site not as a fight, but as a shared search for the truth. As such I am happy if you can prove me wrong, because I can learn something new then. But for that you have to go beyond "whooshing" arguments away, it doesn't work in a shared search of truth and it certainly doesn't work in a debate.

This is true, but like, sometimes you're using them inappropriately. Or you've got a limited exception for performance reasons, and your replacement solution is, uh, unsound.
I actually don't think much would've changed. Our core problems - low birthrate, and extreme dependence on RE wouldn't be affected one way or another. Things will probably get worse before it gets better, and it looks like we have to be more strategic when it comes to partnerships. Being a service industry with very low manufacturing doesn't help either. Decent amount of natural resources, but not enough people, nor cultural (yes, it's hard to find workers for the mines for good reasons, despite its high pays, and I'm very familiar with the issue due to relationships with people who are in the industry) and political willingness to go full-China style on them either.

We could try to push for innovation, but brain drain is real, because if you want money, it's really not that hard to find a job across the border especially if you're talented. And 10x market down there, so what's the point.
That really depends where you go. Many places you will see zero homeless. Other places you can't throw a dirty syringe without hitting a homeless person.

In the "Knowledge Sharing" section of the article, the author says that "Distributed Practice" is one of the most effective ways to learn, and yet says that code reviews are not effective ways of knowledge sharing.

Isn't a code review EXACTLY a distributed practice? What am I missing?

And then he goes on to say "underlining and summarization while reading are least effective" -- I don't understand how is that even related to reviewing code.
Autistic people have bottom up processing. So when an autistic person gets into software engineering, it's likely that they have a "first principle" style of thinking.

Many neurotypicals I see don't have that as their default processing mode. They can do it, but it's not their default.

So what you get is something that you can see with blind people as well: they get better at hearing because they spend much more time with it compared to people that can see (except for musicians, etc.).

Autistic software engineers spend a lot more time with bottom up style thinking (aka being detailed).

I'm on the spectrum too, mostly a non-stereotypical representation.

Thanks! For me 2x2 is a lumber grade.

And yes, I agree, I am trying to exclude a large class of 2x2s. I don't consider "false positive, false negative, true positive, true negative" as a more insightful classification of the four quadrants than just saying "test=positive condition=negative" etc., and the point of such a diagram is not to tell a story to your management. (In this particular case it's usually to point out that by making the test more or less stringent, you have a tradeoff between false positives and false negatives.)

Similarly, a 2D graph can also be used to depict a cost-benefit analysis for a bunch of different options, to try to emphasize "I think this is a low-cost high-benefit remediation strategy compared to those other strategies", I don't regard this as a "proper" 2x2, it's just a persuasive tool.

> Germany (like France could and did) could have expelled the US military any time they wanted to.

No, not legally. (And also not in reality)

1955 were the treaties, conventions, protocols and schedules of the Bonn-Paris Conventions, the Pariser Verträge in German. The treaty terminating the occupation of (West) Germany was the revised “Convention on Relations between the Three Powers and the Federal Republic of Germany”, in German often short „Deutschlandvertrag“. The three powers in article 2 of that convention explicitly reserved the rights for Berlin and Germany as a whole and relevant for this the right to station armed forces in Germany (article 2, articles 4 and 5).

https://www.bgbl.de/xaver/bgbl/start.xav#__bgbl__%2F%2F*%5B%... (PDF)

The 1955 conventions were a package deal. Part of it was the “Convention on the Presence of Foreign Forces in the Federal Republic of Germany”, which further assured the Three Allied Powers right to station forces in Germany, although limited to what was already there.

https://www.auswaertiges-amt.de/resource/blob/248488/1f12562...

Both conventions were only to be terminated by all signatory states or by a future German reunification agreement and peace treaty. That was in effect the “Treaty on the Final Settlement with respect to Germany“ of 1990, the 2+4-treaty, in which the allied powers, including the Soviet Union, terminated their rights. Hence final settlement.
How much of that wealth is tied up in home equity? Unless people want to move into their dead parents houses you have millions of millennials trying to sell their dead parents houses to each other, but no one can afford to buy them, and the values drop.

> Git only replaces the lock file aspect of package managers

Nope, Git is pretty good about downloading stuff over the network, too. In fact, it's so good at it that many people using a language package manager insist you use Git at some point even when (before) using the package managers. Indeed, there's been a lot of trepidation and gnashing of teeth about whether the places where language package managers download packages from are as reliable/trustworthy as the server where the Git repo for the software project is hosted.

Yeah I agree it's manual but it takes about 5 minutes to SCP the password onto the machine.

They don't give much info on parameter count, etc so it's hard to say concretely: Oasis (AI Minecraft) apparently runs on a single H100 [1], but this is presumably much larger — both due to higher fidelity, and due to the 60s context window instead of 1s context window for Oasis. But in 5-10 years regardless of what it takes to run now, the price will drop massively, and my bet is this would be playable in real-time. Context length will be solvable simply by increased VRAM (i.e. an H200 has 141GB per GPU, vs 80GB for an H100). Although Google is probably running these on TPUs, TPUs should follow a similar trajectory.

In the intermediate term my guess is that this kind of world model will be useful for training 3D model generators, so that you can go from sketch -> running in-engine extremely quickly.

Could you name a similar-sized city that has the same qualities as yours?*

I’d love to learn, because I’ve mostly gotten the impression that the smaller an American city is, paradoxically the less walkable/bikable it gets due to lack of public transit, sidewalks, bike lanes etc.

*or your own city, but I understand the hesitation on geolocating yourself
It's certainly possible to strongly protect yourself though, vs casually relying on intuition which is hopeless. You just need to establish a process or set of rules to follow. Businesses do this all the time. A classic scam is sending an invoice asking for payment, and some disorganized businesses will just pay you! But those with a process won't because you won't be able to give them a matching purchase order number and other things their process needs.

A basic personal protection is to not trust anyone who initiates contact with you, no matter who they say they are or what they know about you. Verify by contacting them independently instead.

I don't know what they mean by AI but this reminds me of an old fortune:

*** Special AI Seminar (abstract)

It has been widely recognized that AI programs require expert knowledge in order to perform well in complex domains. But knowledge alone is not sufficient for some applications; wisdom is needed as well. Accordingly, we have developed a new approach to artificial intelligence which we call "wisdom engineering". As a test of our ideas, we have written IMMANUEL, a wisdom based system for the task domain of western philosophical thought. IMMANUEL was supplied initially with 200 wisdom units which contained wisdom about such elementary concepts as mind, matter, being, nothingness, and so forth. IMMANUEL was then allowed to run freely, guided by the heuristic rules contained in its heterarchically organized meta wisdom base. IMMANUEL succeeded in rediscovering most of the important philosophical ideas developed in western culture over the course of the last 25 centuries, including those underlying Plato's theory of government, Kant's metaphysics, Nietzsche's theory of value, and Husserl's phenomenology. In this seminar, we will describe IMMANUEL's achievements and internal architecture. We will also briefly discuss our recent efforts to apply wisdom engineering to oil exploration.
Huh, hadn't thought of it that clearly. Thanks!
That's a very slippery slope.

How do you define "benefit"?

Your dad swindled thousands of "investors" out of their retirements and left you millions. You are benefiting from this and the children of the "investors" are suffering.

Your great-grand-dad swindled thousands of "investors" out of their retirements and you inherit a business empire. You are benefiting from this and the hundreds of great-grand-children of the "investors" are also suffering. They could've had inheritances but they didn't and work at Walmart.

You can trace your lineage to Thomas Jefferson who apparently owned 600 slaves over his lifetime. You still benefit from him having been a president and a wealthy man. You should have to trace ancestry of those slaves and compensate their current living family members.
It was chat gpt, and it was two days ago. Believe it or not, that doesn't really change anything for me. I absolutely understand what AI is capable of, and a lot of it is really quite something.

But you can't trust it to be accurate. You just can't. Every model will absolutely make shit up at some point.

I liken it to working with a very bright 7 year old. It may sound like it knows what it's saying, and it may be able to spit out facts, but it's very ignorant about most of the world.
Oh boy, you should pick up a history book.
> There is exactly one game I've played with my partner's board game crew where I didn't discover some way they were doing it wrong, and that's Everdell which has a very well done computer version that they regularly play as well as physical, so they've been forced to learn how the game actually works instead of how they think it works.

Did correcting the others make them more fun?
The term is actually fine. The problem is when it's divorced from the reality of:

> in some sense, hallucination is all LLMs do. They are dream machines.

If you understand that, then the term "hallucination" makes perfect sense.

Note that this in no way invalidates your point, because the term is constantly used and understood without this context. We would have avoided a lot of confusion if we had based it on the phrase "make shit up" and called it "shit" from the start. Marketing trumps accuracy again...

(Also note that I am not using shit in a pejorative sense here. Making shit up is exactly what they're for, and what we want them to do. They come up with a lot of really good shit.)
Anyone who has raised a child knows they hallucinate constantly when they are young because they are just doing probabilistic output of things they have heard people say in similar situations and saying words they don't actually understand.

LLMs likely have a similar problem.
The American economy keeps on chugging despite critics, but that doesn't mean the critics don't have a point.

Costs of living (read: gas and eggs) are high, many would argue "unaffordable" even though most will still pay up. This means that: No, there is no "affordability crisis" in the literal sense. But there is an "unhappiness crisis", as in people aren't happy about how much money they have to spend. That crisis, the "unhappiness crisis" fueled Trump's upset landslide victory this election.

The Affordability Camel's back isn't broken, yet, but the camel is declaring quite angrily that the point is very close.
Would be nice to have an option of choosing a "compact" interface

When you contrast web UI with native GUI, the realspace you lose in the web accumulates fast

The "gu" combination is just tricky/rare in English, while the combination "ou" is common enough to be an attractor. See also "tounge" and "chaise lounge". "Lounge" and "rouge" also share the property of being legitimate spellchecker words in their own rights.

We don't see this phenomenon happen with, say, "plauge" for "plague", because the diphthong "au" (as in "tau") is pronounced differently from long "a". But "ou" (as in "thorough") could be pronounced exactly the same as long "o". (And compare "restaraunt", as in "aunt".)
1. There are many services that is already "implemented" in NixOS, with sane default configurations and easy to customize (because the contributors have designed good abstractions, and also because of the flexibility of Nix language). One good example is `nginx`. Btw `paperless-ngx` and `jellyfin
2. Because of the good abstraction in the service implementation, I usually do not need to go very deep to understand the common configurable options for each of the services.
Trusted third parties are security holes.
Thanks for the perspective. I mainly use NixOS to run my server's not personal machines. I can see why it can be a frustrating experience for a machine that you just want to run personal stuff on.

In my instance of creating server machines(cattle), the configurations are pretty light and what's important is the reproducibility aspect of it. If I need to take one down and rebuild another it takes about 10 minutes. All the upfront work of configuring Nix for that one machine has paid off.
Apologies for not being clear, 3270s are VERY different from the terminals that connect to mini-computers and the VT-series from DEC.

That said, the product capability that mini-computers were going after was to replace mainframes, and mainframes had 3270s and they could do this really cool thing. There wasn't anything particularly special about the 3270 terminal controller or the capabilities of the 3270 that couldn't be implemented in an alternative way. For a mini-computer terminal to get a similar customer experience they needed to be more than just paperless teletypes.

That started with the VT05 which was introduced in 1970 and had directly addressable cursor. Replaced by the VT50 in '74 and then the VT52 in '75 when things really started to get cooking. As the DEC-10 and later VAX started being sold to customers instead of them buying an IBM machine things really took off.
I'm reminded of Bright's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empire_(1977_video_game), a turn-based PvP strategy game. My friend's 1989-ish instance was sadistic enough to batch execute four turns per day. Every player had to rush to a TTY every six hours to give new marching orders. If you study or sleep too late, your forces and factories could be wiped out.

The obsessives, living on campus newly free of supervision, were line printing maps and writing logistic planning tools that foreshadowed EVE Online's "spreadsheets in space."

Apple Intelligence runs on-device, mostly. When it needs to do anything in the cloud, it tells you. And if you looked into how they have set things up, it's a much more private arrangement even in the cloud, compared to the others.

And of course there's no privacy with OpenAI either, not anymore so than with Google. But at least I know what I'm buying with that - an actual SOTA model, not a runner up. Google can't even beat Anthropic.

It's not always about making financial sense, though. And if you stay there after it's paid off, I suspect the calculations look different.
I have heard the same as well.
These days, I am thinking about how AI code gen can be affecting this. When AI is writing code, you can't assume yourself to be the pair programmer, because your speed is not even close to the AI's. You are basically reviewing the code that AI has written.

So should people be thinking about pair-reviewing AI code so that they get the benefits of pair programming along with the speed of AI?
This hits the nail on the head. Well said.

I really like being able to manage the managing and host machine in one configuration. It's a blessing from an Op's perspective.
