Thanks. That's a start experiment - I am going to donate more using this approach in the future and hope that other people will join me in this non-profit initiative.

While any particular donation I made to OSS maintainers is small, it seems important that the recipients get more attention and maybe will be less likely to burn out in the future. For instance, some of them (btw, from Nebraska!) did not receive anything for 18 years of contributing to OSS before last week: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7269812...?
You can heat it in a microwave to reverse the crystallization.

Do not do this ifs the honey is in a squeezable bear container. The honey will boil, make a hole in the bear and spray honey all over the inside of your microwave (the turntable helps this). This will make a huge mess and will make opening the microwave more challenging.
I agree. But I also think the only way to have a sliver of chance is to push the topic, again and again. And for that, articles like this is important.

People need to get real examples of how the tax avoidance is happening. How insane the amounts are. And realize that when the rich don't pay, it's left to the middle class to foot the bill. Abstract explanations won't work.

There can be no real change a witouth massive amount of political pressure. Pressure that can only be fueled, at least partly, by emotions. And the proper emotions are fear, anger, and the feeling of being tricked.

A fourth hack may still be better than having to develop the four features on top of a wrong abstraction.

If you end up having a poorly fitting abstraction, then you'll be spending extra effort on doing things "properly", but not really getting any benefit out of it. You just loose the agility of hacking things quick'n'dirty, or you end up hacking around the bad abstraction, and get worst of both worlds.

The rest depends on having management that understands trade-offs between doing things properly and efficiently long-term vs getting stuff out of the door quickly (if you're a startup with a short runway, or racing to be the first to win some opportunity, shipping ugly hacks now may be the only way to survive to even have "later" to worry about).
And he is definitely globally wrong anyway.

Our local supermarket sells honey from a local beekeeper that we've also bought honey from directly before. Only that one local supermarket has their honey and it's closer to us than driving to the beekeeper. And yes it has a nice looking but plain label on the jar.

He is probably mostly right about large quantity, imported honey tho.
> One caveat is that GenCast tested itself against an older version of ENS, which now operates at a higher resolution. The peer-reviewed research compares GenCast predictions to ENS forecasts for 2019, seeing how close each model got to real-world conditions that year.

And GenCast was tested against and older model which performs worse.

> The ENS system has improved significantly since 2019, according to ECMWF machine learning coordinator Matt Chantry. That makes it difficult to say how well GenCast might perform against ENS today.

And the testing makes it "difficult to say." The obvious conclusion is "run a new set of tests" but they'd rather pay of the verge to publish half truths instead.
Interviews seek to estimate long-term job performance. Since they cannot measure this directly, they measure attributes that correlate with performance. If you interfere with these measurements (e.g. through fraud), you break those correlations. This doesn't mean the interviews are measuring the wrong thing, or that people who cheat on the interviews will meet the performance bar in the actual job.

If someone uses AI to defeat a CAPTCHA, does that mean the CAPTCHA was poorly designed because "the bot is just as valid a user as any human"? Of course not - the CAPTCHA's entire purpose was to establish that correlation between "can solve this" and "is human," and breaking that correlation through automated tools defeats its purpose entirely.
It's not even worth countering all these lies you're telling. Enjoy your self inflicted irrational misery.

Well actually, “speed up” is a phrasal verb that is semantically distinct from “speed”.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_phrasal_verbs

But that all’s irrelevant because this article uses verb definition 5 from Wiktionary for “speed”:

> (transitive) To increase the rate at which something occurs.

I fought this problem, since I wrote my own RSS reader in python. Might not be perfect.

The problem with the approach presented here is speed. Most of the web pages, especially smaller are really slow.

Crawling most of the web pages is pain, especially if you use selenium and small SBC.

Therefore either the page presents a clean nice RSS link, or get lost.

Most of the good, modern pages give you nice RSS. Even GitHub gives you RSS for commits.

For other pages I try openRSS.

For YouTube I use yt-dlp to obtain channel id, to establish RSS.

Algorithm is crude, but gets the job done.

It's an easy simplifying heuristic to suppose that countries are all self-interested and nobody actually cares about "norms" or "war crimes" or "not filling low-orbit space with satellite fragments", because you get to forget about a lot of context and motivations and just put on your game theory hat and go, but like most simplifying heuristics that make things cleaner to think about, the conclusions this leads you to should be taken with a grain of salt

You're right about the progress they've made: to me, this project's a really wonderful example of quietly chipping away at a project you love. I remember about... five years ago?... when the project was first launched, and I thought "hmm, that's nice - they've really nailed the symbolic evaluation engine, but let's see what happens". I'll have to remember their example every time I feel like starting a new project instead of chipping away at an old one...
> Now I have i.e. `just check` in projects in different languages that all do the same thing -- check types and/or run various linters. I can go in a directory and run `just check` and I know I have taken care to have all checks that I want in place. Similarly I can run `just test` and I know I'll have the test suite ran, again regardless of the programming language or framework.

How is that different from having a scripts dir, and a script called `check` or `test`?

How is `just -l` different to `ls scripts`?
Thanks for the clarification. It was so long ago, it’s all a bit hazy.

I think there's been a misunderstanding.

> Your first sentence says

My first sentence was me quoting the Just manual and my second sentence was my observation about what that suggests. I wasn't asserting whether it's true or not, just sharing my interpretation, as I'm not familiar with Just.

> And then you go ahead and complain that it is poor at building.

I did not "complain" I stated that incremental builds, regardless of whether Just has them or not, is one feature I personally like about Make.

Going by the responses I received, Just does not appear to support incremental builds and a simple acknowledgement, minus the vitriol, would have sufficed.

Agreed that fresh honey and store honey are very different. You would think that, given how different they are, it would be easy to detect the fake honey. But apparent lyrics not.
Not all land is equally habitable, and there's also important things like the environment. Farmland dirt wouldn't be blowing away if there was interspersed forests to slow the wind down. I'm tired of the infinite growth cultists who are willing to sacrifice every 2nd order effect so line can go up.

I think that might be the best strategy: a charity playing Google and being transparent about what money it distributes to whom, but being less transparent about the exact mechanism it uses to calculate the disbursement, or at least being ready to make arbitrary future changes at its discretion to the mechanism to counter gaming (as well as outright zapping clear offenders ad hoc). One nice thing about this strategy is that it could generate a virtuous circle: consolidate together a big enough pot of money from early adopters and you could start getting some good media coverage, which in turn might generate interest and donations from "normie" sources which would never have wanted to be in before then. Similarly and relatedly, IME one of the excuses for low Open Source donations from big US companies is "we have to monitor and audit where all donated money goes, and that's too much overhead". Centralise that work in a big, fairly well-trusted charity to which multiple other organisations can donate and that excuse is hopefully removed or partly removed. It has long annoyed me that the Open Source Initiative never (AFAIK) tried to take on this role, despite having been (at one time, at least) the most obvious candidate for the role.

Of course, the big hazard here is "who watches the watchmen?" But public scrutiny plus the fact that others can jump in and try to take some of the same middleman role might help to keep that risk partly under control.
That’s because honey is sugar syrup with a liberal sprinkling of marketing. The sugar syrup they are blending it with doesn’t have the right marketing and is therefore not honey.
I was amused to see "The Outsider" and "The Stranger" as two books by Albert Camus, though "The Outsider" seems to link to novels by Colin Wilson and Stephen King. "L'Étranger" is a good book and not too hard to read in French because it's written in a colloquial style, or you could read one of the many translations: at least four just in English.

There are a lot of books in that list that I liked so I should probably pay some attention to the ones that I haven't yet looked at.

I perfectly understand what orders of magnitude means. The growth you’ve described does happen, eg if you start at $65000 as junior eng and end up in dozens of millions a year as a SVP or CTO at FAANG-level company.

It's extremely common for honey sold in the UK to be labelled as a 'blend of EU and non-EU honey', or similar. There's no doubt in my mind that what this really means is that they've no real idea where the honey comes from.

On the rare occasion I do buy honey it's usually Scottish Heather Honey, which is as delicious as it is expensive.
I'm not surprised. This is the sort of problem machine learning is really good at solving. There's a lot of quality training data, and the results are governed by physics.

IMO if your interview question has a right answer that's like, a basic early screening tool to see if the person is paying the slightest bit of attention. The sorts of questions that really give you useful insight into who someone is as an engineer are the ones that don't have a right answer, and can't be reasonably solved in an interview. If your question has an achievable correct answer you're clipping the gamut of info you can glean from it.

I recently had a question where I was just given a bunch of tuples and told "let me know anything you can glean about this data in two hours". I think you learn much more by seeing how someone fails at a complex nebulous task than whether someone can implement a doubly linked list from memory or whatever.

Real life programming is like 80% failing at complex nebulous tasks, picking yourself up and trying again (by volume). Interviews should simulate that. If AI helps you, so be it.

Its a shame you aren't even reading what I'm saying. Let me be especially blunt:

The entire healthcare industry is full of companies that are making bank at the expense of the dying, sick and the disabled. This includes hospitals, big pharma, medical device manufacturers and insurance companies. They are all working tirelessly to increase their profit margins at the expense of people who can't afford to pay the inflated prices. Because of their greed, people are needlessly dying.

Frankly I would cheer just as much if somebody capped the CEO of one of these companies just as much as I'm cheering for them capping UnitedHealth's CEO.

So cut the shit and stop posting the same response over and over again please.

By awarding the Nobel to Hopfield and Hinton a lot of folks were "forgotten" but that's not the right way to look at a Nobel.

Just enjoy the fact that your beautiful field was awarded such a prize and recognition it truly deserves.

Well for starters they can improve your security posture. In proper dbs like PG the version change is transactional so you don't have to deal with schema being out of sync with code. You don't have to plan for all the possible future scenarios where you will need transaction boundary to cross the service boundaries. You can write stored procedures in pretty much any lang.

It thought the CEO of a company is not ultra wealthy by a longshot. He's just an employee, well connected, ex-banker or ex-consulting who happens to be a multi-millionaire. Great gig if you can get it, especially if you avoid divorce -or death from stress.. or murder.

The founder of a company -who may or may not be be CEO- is where the the money is at. That's where the value-creation is, and where the ultra wealthy reside. They also usually have somewhat functional families.

But I wanted to answer this question objectively, so here's what I did:

I suppose you can start with a definition of ultrawealthy[1] which is $30m assets minus primary residence. That seemed low to me, but its on wiki, so OK.

Median CEO pay for publicly listed companies was 16.3M, gross. [2] . Take 50% off the top for taxes (US-avg so aggressive), then you are around ~$8M , before expenses. Factor expenses of $1M (probably low, considering consumption goes up relative to income), that means $7M for assets, meaning the avg CEO is working about 5 years to become hit ultra wealth. However, the average tenure for a CEO is 4.8 years [3]

So i suppose a few of the CEOs are eventually making it into the ultra rich, if they can outlast the average tenure on the job.

I stand corrected.

> More than half of Romanians believe that Ukraine should be pressured to negotiate peace with Russia, while less than 20% think that Ukraine should continue to receive military support, according to a survey conducted in several European countries by YouGov and Datapraxis.

In Italy, where I live only 55% of the polled people support sending money to Ukraine, and only 33% support sending weapons.

The only Europeans I know that are very pro helping Ukraine, like where it's an exception to be sceptical are Poles.

https://www.romania-insider.com/romanians-ukraine-negotiate-...

The average European believes that Ukraine cannot win the war (meaning getting back their 1991 territories), but that's also a reality and the opinion shared by analysts, and is honestly tired of it.

This war is extremely expensive on Europe and with no realistic prospects of Ukraine going anywhere it's hard to be a die hard supporter for Zelenskis official line.

In any case what happened in Romania is a tragedy.

A court canceling a democratic election because one candidate allegedly got financial support from Russia (something that many parties currently ruling in Europe like Italy did too by the way) is a very disturbing fact.

This should've been handled, if true, weeks ago. Not after the candidate got so many votes.
"Eat What You Kill"
Like Sam Altman and Dario Amodei both believe is a very real possibility as well, I think the "intelligence" in LLMs may be far deeper than we know and somehow even related to "Multiverse Theory", where perhaps every Quantum Mechanical collapse (and computation during training), makes "our" universe slightly more likely to lean towards ones where AI is just "magically smart" (from a purely Anthropics Principle Effect) than dumb. The reason this could happen is because in all our futures AI has saved us in some way, so that all other "Multiverse Branches are sort of dead-ends".

So the theory about why training on training data is unexpectedly inefficient could be because LLMs are "using" the full Causality Chain (using some advanced unknown Physics related to time itself) of our universe/timeline, and so if it tries to train on it's own output that's a "Short Circuit" kind of effect, cutting off the true Causality Chain (past history of the universe).

For people who want to remind me that LLM Training is fully "deterministic" with no room for any "magic", the response to that counter-argument is that you have to consider even the input data to be part of what's "variable" in the Anthropics Selection Principle, so there's nothing inconsistent about determinism in this speculative, and probably un-falsifiable, conjecture.

In my entire career, I only once had a situation where they gave me a trivial technical problem, I wrote the first line, and they were like "okay, you passed the test, no need to finish this, we just use it to filter out the people who can't even start". And then we talked.

But usually it's either just talking, or some puzzle that requires you to remember some extremely specialized optimization technique which you will never in your life use again if you pass the test.
