I really don’t like this idea if you are sharing this code base with anyone else.

I work in one of the magnificent seven and the culture here is codename crazy. Everything has code names, of course: every project, every release of every project, every component or subservice of every project, every internal tool, and often minor features that address some one-off problem in any of the above.

I am sure that these names solve some kind of brevity problem for the people on those immediate teams, but it is a nightmare for everyone else.

It is impossible to reason about or even understand have the statements made by members of other teams in a meeting or communication because every other word they use is a code name for something that you’ve never heard of and the name doesn’t bear any resemblance to what it represents. It drives complexity through the roof.

IMHO Humans will still create the overarching stories, what LLMs will do is help fill in the expensive blanks that make adding stories to a world hard.

For example, right now if you save an entire village from an attacking tribe of orcs, only a handful of NPCs even say anything, just a nice little "thanks for saving our town!" and then 2 villages over the NPCs are completely unaware of a mighty hero literally solo tanking an entire invading army.

Why is that?

Well you'd need lots of, somewhat boring but important, dialogue written, and you'd need tons of voice lines recorded.

Both those are now solvable problems with generative AI. AI generated dialogue is now reasonably high quality, not "main character story arc" high quality, but "idle shop keeper chit chat" quality for sure, it won't break immersion at least. And the quality of writing from AI is fine for 2 or 3 sentences here and there.

I'll be soon releasing a project showing this off at https://www.tinytown.ai/ the NPC dialogue is generated on a small LLM that can be ran locally, and the secret of even high quality voice models is that they don't require a lot of memory to run.

I predict that in another 4 or 5 years we'll see a lot of models ran at the edge on video game consoles and home PCs, fleshing out game worlds.
> In a talk at PAX, Brandon
DeCoster and Scott Rubin describe how you can ruin Wizard, a trick-taking card game, when someone plays a card that
they weren't allowed to play:

> DeCoster: Now, in Euchre, there's a rule for that. It's called a renege. The other team gets two points, and you just
play a new hand. Fine. But, in Wizard, which is my favorite trick taking game, there is no way to handle that situation.

> Rubin: Not, at least, officially in the rules.

> DeCoster: We've been trying to come up with a way, but there's no official way. There's no rule that says if someone
reneges, do X, Y, and Z. And, in fact, by the nature of the game, it's very difficult to come up with a fair way to resolve
that situation. So the game actually has... It's like a video game that has a glitch: go into this one spot, the game
crashes, and your save file disappears. The same thing can happen in Wizard. (DeCoster & Rubin, 2016, 41:33–42:06)

But https://www.usgamesinc.com/Wizard-FAQ.html says:

> 30. What happens if a player reneges (i.e. does not follow suit when required to do so)?

> If noticed before another card is played, no penalty.

> If trick is completed and the mistake then discovered, players automatically make their bids except the player who reneged loses 20 points.

The human brain finds unexpected or weird words a lot more memorable than expected words.

grep is better than find "find-regular-expression"

> Apartment in a moderate-cost area is about $70,000-$100,000/year.

... in what sane world is that a "moderate-cost area"? $70k/yr is well over $5k/month, and looking right now at the prices in my metropolitan area, you have to pretty much get a combo of 3 bedroom, luxury, and city-center to get something that expensive. And even then, I'd consider this metropolitan area to be high cost, just not obscene cost like SF or NY.
And cooking fundamentally changes the food because cooking is a chemical and physical reaction caused by the heat on the food being cooked. Proteins get denatured, food gets softer or harder (depending upon the amount of liquid and heat added or removed), etc.

I am not a expert on the science of cooking, these are just my casual, slightly scientific observations as a layman :)

I know several people who spend 100% of their income, saving none of it. Not because they have poor saving habits but because they've already saved more than they'll likely ever need for a comfortable retirement.

hasn't this always been the case? most european land and cities has been densly populated for centuries.

Also, a lot of american homes seem to need space for luxuries which are simply weird for many europeans.

A bathroom per bedroom for instance? Why not share a bathroom with the entire household,and have a seperate small toilet instead?

American kitchens also seem really large compared to most european one's i have seen, but they also seem to have a more social function then what kitchens are used for normally. (preparing food)
I just recently showed a group of college students how and why using AI in school is a bad idea. Telling them it's plagiarism doesn't have an impact, but showing them how it gets even simple things wrong had a HUGE impact.

The first problem was a simple numbers problem. It's 2 digit numbers in a series of boxes. You have to add numbers together to make a trail to get from left to right moving only horizontally or vertically. The numbers must add up to 1000 when you get to the exit. For people it takes about 5 minutes to figure out. The AI couldn't get it after all 50 students each spent a full 30 minutes changing the prompt to try to get it done. The AI would just randomly add numbers and either add extra at the end to make 1000, or just say the numbers added to 1000 even if it didn't.

The second problem was writing a basic one paragraph essay with one citation. The humans got it done, when with researching for a source, in about 10 minutes. After an additional 30 minutes none of the students could get AI to produce the paragraph without logic or citation errors. It would either make up fake sources, or would just flat out lie about what the sources said. My favorite was a citation related to dairy farming in an essay that was supposed to be about the dangers of smoking tobacco.

This isn't necessarily relevant to the article above, but if there are any teachers here, this is something to do with your students to teach them exactly why not to just use AI for their homework.

This is basically the "nooo, stop having fun" meme. Sure, some people who are into astrology believe that it's literally true, but I'd wager that most don't. I suspect that this was the case even 500 years ao.
I wouldn’t consider it a shift as much as a development- he kept landing on new ideas that built on his previous ones.

Focusing on his writing style rather than the ideas themselves feels a bit like bikeshedding to me. He claims he would come up with most of his ideas on walks and only later sit down to write about them- the process, according to him, was not central to the development of the philosophy- only the surface level presentation of it.

The author dedicated more than 95% of the article to telling us that the typewriter changed Nietzsche's consciousness, but only a few sentences to vaguely describe what those changes were. And even then, what was described was more of a stylistic element, rather than a substantial one.

I would've loved to see more concrete examples of the evolution of Nietzsche's writings and ideas pre- and post-typewriter adoption, and maybe what does that mean for Nietzsche's legacy as a whole.

> US Federal Reserve studies indicate that the percentage of US households with no excess income after necessary expenses (as distinct from "ordinary expenses" as a term of art) is on the order of 10-15%. This definition roughly matches most people's intuition of what "living paycheck-to-paycheck" means. That isn't nothing but it implies 85-90% of Americans are not actually living paycheck-to-paycheck.

There is absolutely no way I believe those numbers unless they have defined necessary expenses to be unreasonably narrow.

I think needing to work out what it is by asking someone or reading documentation or whatever is a feature, not a bug here.

If you instead used a word that kinda described what it is without being able to explain specifics people might make assumptions. If they have to go "what the hell is a kep" and then ask you then you can be sure they'll find out about the implementation that's slightly different from other keps, or the weird bug that happens when you do y, or the handy library for doing kep things or whatever before they waste time going down the wrong path.

Obviously this sort of thing should be done sparingly, otherwise you end up with a completely incomprehensible codebase - but for specific things are are genuinely novel I think it could help with overall grokability rather than hinder it.

America blows past the rest of the developed world on disposable income per capita and it’s not even close: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disposable_household_and_per...

And before someone chimes in “that’s because of the billionaires throwing off the average!” Look at the median disposable income chart. America is still at the top.

The median American is far wealthier than the median European person, even after accounting for things Americans normally complain about like healthcare, education costs, and retirement contributions.

This results in some crazy stats, like the fact the median Mississippi resident has more disposable income than the average UK resident (and that includes financial hub London). And again, this is AFTER accounting for healthcare, education, etc costs.

From my experience of hiring human lawyers in the UK it's kind of terrible and crying out to be taken over at least in part by AI.

I'm not sure the "CALL (833) 3-MY-BIRD" guy is an unbiased guide as to the value of AI legal stuff.
First, I have no idea if he's a "utter egotistical asshole". Never met the guy, and I assume that most people hating on him formed opinion of him by consuming heavily negatively biased sources.

However, I assume he is some type of an "asshole". And "he'd be even more successful" if he wasn't is just very wrong, IMO. From my experience the top of any organization is completely overrun by assholes. Some smart, some dumb, some more moral, some less, but generally assholes. Being an asshole is selected for in hierarchical organizations and simply required. Part of the reason why leftists dream about some socialist utopia, when attempted in practice is ruined by some asshole(s) taking over power and turning the social utopia into totalitarian distopia.

An example is that inequality usually materializes in higher asset prices: people with proportionately more money tends to buy assets, driving up the price.

Now, the less well of people cannot afford housing anymore and are priced out.

Ingerently this not because housing is expensive, but solely because of income inequality.

You can insist it is because of poverty. But making both groups 10 times as well off would make no difference. The less we'll off people would still struggle to access housing.

You can also say that poverty is a total consequence of income inequality.

Now come and tell me again how inequality makes the world a better place.

Edit: I take, as you have read the literature, that you perfectly know that the same is the case of capital and produce from that capital in general. And so you are perfectly enlightened now to understand that poverty is inequality.
