Would LLMs change the field of Sociology? Large-scale socioeconomic experiments can now be run on LLM agents easily. Agent modelling is nothing new, but I think LLM agents can become an interesting addition there with their somewhat nondeterministic nature (on positive temps). And more importantly their ability to be instructed in English.
It seems the authors conflate a problem bring easy to state with little processing power being needed to solve it. This obviously isn't true, very complex mathematical problems can be stated in very few bits. Human interactions often can be extremely complex, even though they are relatively slow.

Reading a text isn't about matching symbols to words. It is about taking these words and putting them into a social context, potentially even doubting their content or imagining the inner world of the author. Obviously that is what the "inner" brain (which existence seems very dubious to me) has to do.

I see absolutely no paradox at all.

Scientists are not superhuman, even in the golden era of science it was Max Plank that remarked, 'Science advances one funeral at a time.' And things have rather worsened since his era.

It's not science that really changed anything but rather humanity freeing itself from bias and opening itself to having a discourse and debate on practically any issue, without consequence - accepting all the discomfort that that entails.

But such eras are brief and can fade rapidly. The Islamic world was once a global leader in the sciences. Algebra = al jabr, Arabic numerals, alongside countless contributions to astronomy and other fields. Oh but how fast that candle of learning can be snuffed out when it becomes inconvenient.
I had a recent discussion about this, will try to pull up the sources, but my understanding is displacement is the majoritarian current and cultural shift with same population very much a secondary that only applies in a minority of the cases

You're missing my point. I'm saying that `try solving it with your hands while someone shows you a bunch of objects and asks you visual comprehension questions at the same time` is more than 10 bit/s of data being processed.

I see they seem to have their own compiler, so no LLVM overhead, but also no LLVM legacy, and they seem to be targeting small WASM compiles, is that just it? I'm just a little confused on what makes it special, I think it's stack based, there doesnt seem to be a concept of pointers as far as I can see in the documentation, it looks cool, but what makes it different?

Thank you for the feedback. The framework was originally built with exceptions always disabled, and it is currently being reworked to support both modes: exceptions enabled and disabled. Some approaches definitely need to be reconsidered.

An alternative approach is to use the rcnew macro, which wraps a pointer in a shared_ptr under the hood. Details on the implementation of rcnew can be found at: https://www.kfr.dev/blog/three-cpp-tricks/

If you're validating parameters that originate from your program (messages, user input, events, etc), ASSERT and ASSERT often. If you're handling parameters that originate from somewhere else (response from server, request from client, loading a file, etc) - you model every possible version of the data and handle all valid and invalid states.

Why? When you or your coworkers are adding code, the stricter you make your code, the fewer permutations you have to test, the fewer bugs you will have. But, you can't enforce an invariant on a data source that you don't control.

But what are the outcomes of these shares of “mental load?” How much thought translates into what measure of results? In therapy my partner was shocked to learn how much time I spend plotting and considering our domestic affairs like cleaning and grocery shopping, but I had to admit also that only some of that thought genuinely effected household results. Some of it was just anxiety. I don’t think it’s reasonable to hold my partner accountable for fretting as much as I do about meal planning for us, but holding them accountable for producing as many meals seems entirely just.
I have a lot of respect for Messianic Jews; they're struggle is real. I wish more Jews knew just how Jewish the story of Jesus actually is. As far as Christians are concerned, Jesus is the fulfillment of the messianic prophecies in the old testament. Jesus said, "Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill." (Matthew 5:18)

That said, there is arguably no simpler or purer form of Christianity than simply having faith in and a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

Yes, sort of. Electromigration is well known in the industry and there are extensive design rules around making sure you don't violate those rules and hit electromigration limits within the lifetime of the product.

Most IC designers tend to design for the 100k hours at absolute worst case conditions. What is known as PVT: worst case process, voltage, and temperature corners.

Assuming they do that, the likelihood that electromigration actually being the issue is not a concern. Designers can mess up, but generally they don't want to do this... especially in automotive. Auto manufacturers will ruin them if they determine there's a design flaw like this.

Outside of Wells Fargo - which is just god awful in so many ways - I'm no longer getting a different experience from banks vs credit unions. Sometime before covid I feel like the line between bank and credit union blurred and eventually went away, in relation to customer experience.

10 people died from the Boars Head contaminated meat. I guess I don't really mind if a few lawyers chase those ambulances and extract a lot of money out of that company?
I think there is a way to distinguish between blanket liability any time someone gets sick eating your product, and suing Boar's Head for continuing to operate with deficiencies that were documented in a report and known to the company. It is regrettable that the FSIS did not enforce harder, but I think someone who's family died because of this should be able to sue.
I didn't say it's easy, and it's probably not the right fit for you. But it's at least a plan with a good end-game, which a lot of $10/mo online only business models simply cannot turn into something viable.

50-1,000 person companies aren't actually that big. You can get to know the decision makers and it's not like navigating 20,000 person corporate mazes (also possible if you have the stomach for it).

It does seriously benefit from industry knowledge though. The reason so many people think it's a ridiculous pipedream is because they have no industry experience outside of tech, and that's a big problem -- a solvable one, but most people will never do what it takes to solve it and instead say that it's not possible.

It takes a lot of willingness to do non-tech things though. You can't just set up an online marketing funnel and watch the cash come in. It's relationship driven. The advantage of going after a vertical is that the relationships start feeding each other -- you get social proof within the niche industry. And you don't compete with VC-backed software companies as much because they much prefer horizontal solutions (which can get bigger and achieve bigger exits) versus vertical solutions.

That doesn't describe a census or anything like it. There is absolutely no evidence there was a census covering the Roman empire let alone the whole world (as actually stated in gLuke).

However, there was a census of Judea ordered by Quirinius when Herod Archelaus was kicked out in 6AD. And that makes sense because, prior to that time, Judea was a client state so Rome would not have directly taxed it. Once it became a province, it would be subject to direct taxation and, hence, would have needed a census to determine the taxable population.

So, by far the most likely scenario is that the author of gLuke was referring to this census but got his facts a bit wrong. He made way bigger whoppers than that one.

It's an interesting read at least as much as overviewing the abstract in the summary but I'm not so much sure that it's "doing gender" as gender differences prompt different desires. It's well known across psychology that generally men are more interested in things and women are more interested in people. So this divide of the cognitive mental load shouldn't be surprising but what would be interesting is more the why it's that way.

I have very little interest in social interactions and organizing those types of things. Many of the household cognitive mental load things they cite I also have very little interest planning for those as they seem to be things that don't really require my planning. My wife on the other hand she loved social interactions and for all of those cognitive mental load things she enjoyed planning those things or at least it seemed like she enjoyed it. Any given day if I would grab her butt there would be a piece of paper in her pocket with a list of all of those things. We're all of them required to be done, certainly not, were they required to be as her list dictated, absolutely not but for her she had to have it this way.

So are women rating so much higher on the cognitive mental load because they have to or because they want to and it becomes a different way in which you approached handling these things. One of those examples that almost any married man can relate to is when your wife wants you to do something she will nag you until it gets done. Then she'll complain my husband doesn't do things when I ask. The issue comes about because it's not that your husband won't take out the garbage for example and he'll just leave it pile up to the ceiling and it will never get taken out it's that the woman wants it done on her timetable and how she specifies. So that will definitely increase this cognitive mental load because they're attempting to micromanage the household instead of letting tasks get done in a more natural and fluid way.

Without accounting for that kind of difference in attitude and task handling this study isn't providing anything useful beyond confirmation of what every married man already knows.

Unclear. They're not going to be consistent or competent, and the intent of everything they do will be to either part out the government to their friends, weaponize the US government against perceived enemies. And they might reward people who kiss the ring by granting exceptions.

Really, given the premise, anyone sane should kill H-1B entirely for tech:

"The intent of the H-1B provisions is to help employers who cannot otherwise obtain needed business skills and abilities from the U.S. workforce by authorizing the temporary employment of qualified individuals who are not otherwise authorized to work in the United States"

There is no shortage of qualified US software engineers. CS schools are full. The very concept is ridiculous. Kill this law, liberalize immigration instead.

I'm not disbelieving your source entirely, but it seems a little ridiculous to assume population displacement across all pre-history (or undocumented history if you'd prefer that term). Particularly when modern populations are so genetically diverse.

For one example, the idea a single "sea people" were responsible for the shift from bronze age to iron age in the eastern mediterranean is nearly universally rejected at this point. The populations of the mediterranean seem to descend at least in part from the bronze-age populations of the area. However the economic and cultural impact of the same period undeniably transfused rapidly through the region as heavily demonstrated with the archaeological record.

Even in the case of neanderthals we didn't fully displace so much as mostly displace but also admixed. Same with denisovans, cro magnons, etc. Genetic testing of cro-magnons shows modern-day descendants, and not just in the matrilineal or patrilineal line (i.e. presumably indicating either descendants of rape or partial infertility, as is presumed in the case of neanderthals).

With the spread of agriculture (seed cultivation, husbandry, plow, etc) we also see a mixture of genetic and cultural transfusion. Ditto with the horse, except much more rapidly, and horse-based technology much slower. This is partially why there's a gradient of genetic similarity across europe rather than a "european" set of genes—and with the horse technology, we have the benefit of an archeological and in certain cases textual evidence of trade between northern europe and the rest of the world.

Now, some of this is a matter of quibbling over semantics—is it displacement or is it admixture? Understandable. But the cultural diffusion in the material record is undeniable regardless of which term you pick. I'm not so sure it's worth picking a primary cause rather than accepting the inherent messiness of the archeological and genetic record where, as in the case of neanderthals, there isn't very solid evidence of infertility demonstrating firmly that the migration was mostly, if not entirely, displacement, as presumably non-hss-mixed neanderthals are extinct.
When they announced Bare Metal I was hoping it was closer to Hetzner, basically old fashion dedicated server.

AMD EPYC™ 9454P 48 Core / 96 Threads, + 128 GB DDR5 ECC + 3.84 TB NVMe SSD for $221 and a $88 one time set up fee on Hetzner. Even if they could do it at $100 more expensive at $321 would still have been good enough.

But their Cloud / VPS offering are still very good. Now that Linode is nearly gone. DO is mostly Intel based. Vultr is mostly AMD. The other one that is close if not better is UpCloud.
It’s not, but credit unions don’t either and they’re more “left wing” ideologically.
There are different mechanisms for requiring safe standards. The point is that 'enforcing standards through civil liability' is bad for business.
There is also 'enforcing standards through regulation and regulatory agencies'; which is arguably better for both safety and business compared to the civil suit. On the other hand, civil suits are more insulated from the regulatory wims of the current administration.
So there is no such thing as better encryption? right?

> a role in the Eastern Roman Empire's decision to stop identifying themselves as part of the Catholic Church

From their point of view, the West abandoned the true (i.e. orthodox) faith.

Also, it's hard to argue that the Eastern Christians changed more than Western ones. For example, since the 12th century the pope has forbidden priest marriage. There is some debate in the Catholic Church about allowing this again. If that is implemented, it would simply be a reversion to what the Orthodox Church has always done.
