It notes that there doesn't have to be an undefined point for a function to be discontinuous (and that terminology often conflates the two), and matches what I recall of determining that if the limit of the derivative from both sides of the discontinuity exists and is equal, the derivative exists.

Wow, this is a very well-written article. I have experienced a lot of this in my own experience as a software developer.

This makes me wonder, the concept of pair programming has been around for a very long time. And yet, pull requests have grown in popularity while the use of pair programming remains pretty limited.

Does that mean that companies want to operate like a bunch of individuals instead of a team? Is independence valued more than speed & collaboration when it comes to software development teams?
In my case, it'd be growing numbers of people being easily able to afford housing and medical care, with most people putting more of their money into savings. Right now we have soaring numbers of homeless people and record amounts of household debt so I don't think we're doing very well.
where is this implication from? to me living paycheck to paycheck means you are living THE LIFE to the fullest. no “savings” or any BS like that. you make $50k a month, spend it all - wait for next paycheck. paycheck to paycheck

> Clearly investors think there's something there

Of course. Because enterprise companies take a long time to evaluate new technologies. And so there is plenty of money to be made selling them tools over the next few years. As well as selling tools to those who are making tools.

But from my experience in rolling out these technologies only a handful of these companies will exist in 5-10 years. Because LLMs are "garbage in, garbage out" and we've never figured out how to keep the "garbage in" to a minimum.

>We get it, you don't like the government. So what?

Well, if you don't trust the government, then the likelihood that you'll be willing to follow their "orders" is pretty low.

> But more importantly, you're a danger to my health, my friends and my families' health, and to your own health as well.

And __this__ response is exactly why people can become anti-vaxx without having a problem with medicine or science in general (which is the question being put forward by the OP). You're coming at it from a "the gov said its safe, so it's safe, and you're an idiot for not trusting the gov" (even though governments have shown themselves to be un-trustworthy many many times -- not in the area of vaccines necessarily -- but in other domains.

So this type of urging to "do it because we're all doing it because Uncle Sam said so" is highly counter productive.
Interestingly, I have not noticed lower rates of obesity among the standers compared to sitters. I'm sure we've all seen obese/overweight people in retail, doing road work, or construction , but then also plenty of thin guys who do office work.

When I was having work done on my home, the 4 people who were working on it were all overweight/obese. Bill Gates was wire thin in his '20s despite his job entailing sitting at a computer all day.

I suspect this has to do with metabolic differences (with people with higher IQs having faster metabolisms relative to body mass due to more NEAT or other factors) than just diet and exercise.

"Tuning a Mellotron doesn't." —Robert Fripp
I suspect that Intel could hit a $2000 price point for a 128GB ARC card, but even at $3000, it would certainly be cheaper than buying 8 A770 LE ARC cards and connecting them to a machine. There are likely tens of thousands of people buying multiple GPUs to run local inferencing on Reddit’s local llama, and that is a subset of the market.

In Q1 2023, Intel sold 250,000 ARC cards. Sales then collapsed the next quarter. I would expect sales to easily exceed that and be maintained. The demand for high memory GPUs is far higher than many realize. You have professional inferencing operations such as the ones listed at openrouter.ai that would gobble up 128GB VRAM ARC cards for running smaller high context models, much like how you have businesses gobbling up the Raspberry Pi for low end tasks, without even considering the local inference community.

You probably mean set theory instead of graph theory, since set theory and category theory are kind of seen as two foundations for math.

Both category theory and set theory use sets. But set theory tries to make absolutely everything into a set. It takes on a little complexity in this quest, because of Russel's paradox. Category theory can be seen as studying set theory, among other things, so it is "bigger" or more all-encompassing than set theory. Many things studied in category theory aren't possibly sets.

Set theory is more immediately intuitive, but category theory organizes things in a way that are ultimately more insightful, I think. Meaning that once you can get into the category theory headspace and learn to navigate it, it becomes a much better environment for thinking without mistakes. In my personal opinion.
Interesting. Thanks!

For the longest time (over 30 years) I've thought that things like the OPL3 were analog. I had no idea that those synth things were happening in numberland.
That's a good point. But re: not anthropomorphizing, what's wrong with errors, mistakes or inaccuracies? That's something everybody is familiar with and is more accurate. I'd guess most people have never actually experienced a hallucination anyway, so we're appealing to some vague notion of what that is.

there is a very real sense in which nix has been riding on a good idea while ergonomics elsewhere in the field have advanced, yes. make no mistake, the technical work, getting programs to behave themselves in a fairly alien environment etc, has been impressive, but it's like in the marathon to get there, the idea of making that process somewhat nicer has been subject to constant procrastination. which sucks since in some sense the lay packager is working with the exact same tools as the people bringing the whole system together. not just nixpkgs dx has fallen down the list of priorities, but technical debt down to nix itself has accrued as well. the tvix effort emerged from dissatisfaction with instability (the same dissatisfaction that kept the actual version of nix used in a typical nixos install well behind master) well before any administrative/sponsorship struggle snuggle, and i still maintain that an effort more conservative in scope such as lix would have emerged politics aside, as again, what the end user sees switching to that is mostly "oh hey this random thing that repeated segfaults conditioned me out of attempting just... works now lol?" or various ux papercuts just ceasing to be. nix-at-large has a ways to go but i am optimistic

A not-flagrantly-illegal example of this might be casinos, where IMO it is basically impossible to argue the fleeting entertainment they offer offsets the financial ruin inflicted on certain vulnerable types of patron.

Notably that isn't the same as the business itself being profitable: Some investors may be hoping they can dump their stake at a higher price onto a Greater Fool [0] and exit before the collapse.

In America’s defense, I’ll say that certain things are done much better than Europe.

There’s is certainly a better awareness/acceptance that growth = good. The entrepreneurial spirit also runs much stronger in your culture.

National (well, global) security is taken much more seriously, which I feel like is a facet of American federalization and thus unity. You won’t see a combined (and certainly not unified) European army for at least another few decades, everything thinks their own interests, independence and pride are too important.

Trump is an exceptional case who genuinely is feared to democracy itself as risk. The logic doesn't carry over to most other national politicians, although it absolutely can at various local levels.

Besides politicians, corrupt private leaders are at risk.

My point was that people would be just fine if it's only the food and gas going up since nominal wages are also increasing, and you have some degree of choice to eat cheaper things. The part that tends to break it is the increases in housing costs.
The article mentions PC sound cards, but this family of synthesizer chips was pretty common in video games overall ca. 1985-1995. They were used in Master System, Genesis, Neo Geo, Capcom CPS1/CPS2, Sega System 16, Midway Y-Unit/T-Unit, Namco System 1/2, and too many one-off Data East, Konami, and Taito boards to count.

There is reasonable debate about their scope and limits, but it's hard to find anyone who understands how LLMS work that thinks they are a passing phase.

The pushback I see is from people who were raised to write everything from scratch, who don't trust the output of LLMS because of "hallucinations" or other crappy outputs. The problem is, the people making these claims are really out of touch with prompt engineering, and how students are currently learning to code with AI in-the-loop (and for basic coding and testing etc for common libraries, LLMs are really, really good at explaining things and writing entry-level code and tests -- this is not arguable: people that are fighting this are graybeards that haven't learned to code at a basic-to-intermediate level in a long time).

A good software developer, with a nose for code smells, will not just accept any old code an LLM produces, you have to use it intelligently, push back on bizarre constructions. Hence, for me, who hates writing tests, it is an amazing tool. If I had an intern or an undergrad who loved grindout out tests I'd use them, but that's basically my LLM at this point (and for the "but ackshually" guys yes obviously you can't use them mindlessly, we are writing code not drawing doodles).
My man, your site is a single page with a contact form and it's 4.91mb and takes 1.45s to load after 183 network requests.
I am honestly very skeptical of articles like these. Hallucinations are a feature of LLMs. The only ways to "FIX" it is to either stop using LLMs. Or use a super bias some how.
> A big part of the antivaxxers are now also anti 5G, advocate against the use of sunscreen, are against wind energy and EV, sometimes pro-russia, anti-deepstate

Sure, some of these might be the same people, but I disagree that there's a big overlap between anti-vaxxers, which are not uncommon (I know quite a few who "vaccine resistant" which in many people's minds == anti-vaxxers), and anti-5G which is very niche (I've never met or interacted with a single person who thinks that), or anti-EV which is again a different demographic ("I want to drive my gas guzzling F-150 because Amerika is #1")

How it really works - security team files a task to replace a crypto algorithm in your team's code and gives you a SLA deadline of 6 months. 6 months later, no one has touched it, so they escalate. Your manager says "we are short staffed" and requests an extension. They give you another 3 months and write a detailed guide on what lines to change. 3 months later everyone they originally spoke to has left the team, and the new people don't have any context. They try and figure it out but the security person has also left the team. No one remembers what the task was originally created for. A year later the service that was using the old algorithm is itself deprecated.

The 4-operator FM synths that Yamaha produced from the DX100 (OPP/YM2164) onwards get that characteristic 'lo-fi' sound from the length of the log-sin table. The 4-operator chips used 256 samples for the quarter log-sin wave, whereas the DX7 had 1024 samples. As you increase the length of the sine table, the timbre gets much 'smoother'.

He's right though. People have cultural knowledge which can lead to better outcomes than "correct" reasoning even when those cultural beliefs are factually wrong. The scientific approach has blind spots where it hasn't reached, especially regarding sociology which is something long-lived cultures excel at but modern science falls flat. "intelligent" understanding has blind spots where things are too complicated to study so we pretend they don't matter. For example, do you count all religious people in your ignorant group? Even when they're having happier lives than comparable atheists?

Here's a thought. Animals often kill their own unhealthy babies but educated people much less so, and even demand that parents use technology to save them otherwise they're bad uneducated unintelligent people. Are those animals doing it wrong because they're too stupid to use medicine? Or are people doing it wrong? I'd say people have a non-scientific culture of minimizing of death even if it harms long-term evolutionary success of the species.
I think basically only NVIDIA is reliably supported right now, it would be nice to have more hardware support to allow splitting models (like HF Accelerate or llama.cpp support).
Yah. If your big project has 2 kinds of objects, handles, designators, whatever that are used frequently... and their alternative english names are awkward, long, and/or misleading... give them a short pronounceable name. I endorse this 100%.

Exactly, “it’s bad now” != “it won’t get worse”.
I’ve had multiple occasions where I’ve asked an LLM how to do <whatever> in Java and it’ll very confidently answer to use <some class in some package that doesn’t exist>. It would be far more helpful to me to receive an answer like “I don’t think there’s a third party library that does this, you’ll have to write it yourself” than to waste my time telling me a lie. If anything, calling these outputs “hallucinations” is a very polite way of saying that the LLM is bullshitting the user.
> within a certain window of time.

that's a big caveat.

Most people are not able to live without a source of income through working. And this _should_ be the norm - most people _should_ be working in their adult lifetime.

It should not be possible to live indefinitely without having to produce output that somebody in society needs (and thus is paying you to do so). The welfare state is to prevent the negative outcomes of someone in destitute, by preventing (or trying to prevent) crime, etc. It isn't there so that one can live free.
Housing costs are paid from disposable income under the OECD definitions.

Larger households lead to larger reported incomes, because the total household income is divided by the square root of household size. If income is $50k/person and household size is 2, the reported income is $71k/person. If household size increases to 3, reported income increases to $87k/person.

On the average, Americans move out of their parents' home in their mid-20s. Swiss people typically do it a couple of years earlier. When people in their 20s live with their parents, it often indicates the lack of affordable housing. But if you combine this with normalizing household incomes by dividing by the square root of household size, higher housing costs lead to higher reported disposable incomes.

International comparisons are difficult, because pretty much every way to do them is wrong in some sense. But in general, it's better to collect data that is consistently wrong in the same way than to try to correct the issues you encounter. If your data is consistently wrong, you can at least make reasonable comparisons between a country today and the same country 10 or 20 years ago.

Subsidized services such as education and healthcare are tricky. You could try to calculate the subsidies based on the actual costs of providing the services, or as the difference between the nominal price and the subsidized price. These can lead to very different amounts, and it's not always possible to use the same approach with every service.

If the degree of subsidies varies between countries, you could try to normalize the situation by either adding the subsidies to disposable incomes or subtracting the costs the individual has to pay. In a country where the services are more expensive to produce (and maybe also less efficient), the former leads to higher and the latter lower disposable incomes relative to other countries.

Retirement contributions are another tricky question. Voluntary savings are often included in disposable income, while mandatory pension contributions often count as taxes. But you can't always tell the difference between voluntary retirement savings and other savings. But if you then count retirement income based on voluntary contributions as disposable income, you have to be careful to avoid counting the same income twice.
