After the second shuttle failure, flights were restricted to orbits that could drop off the crew at the ISS. The Boeing Starliner crew is still sitting on the ISS because NASA was afraid to send them down with their ride.

I'm not sure our tolerance is as high as you think. Maybe it was in the 1960s, but not now. And who knows what a couple big pyrotechnic accidents would have produced then.

I do agree with you, we're much more willing to tolerate carnage on the ground (or closer to it). More astronauts have died in aircraft accidents than spacecraft accidents.
Hah, ok.

'Murder Hornet' Has Been Eradicated from the U.S., Officials Say
Are there any small trained models out there that are specifically for python programming that you know of?
I disagree. Better to be direct, than frame it in soft 'feel good' terms. It's a matter of people's livelihoods. My tone invites confrontation as a sincere reflection of the stakes. I don't make value judgements. Citizens are entitled to hypocrisy, cognitive-dissonance and selfishness. It being bad is a social judgement made by the observer.

Let's be clear. We're talking about the US here. Arguments based in nativism, isolation and crowdedness have thin ground to stand on. By percentage population, legal-immigration to the US is below the historic average. Yet threads on H1b quickly devolve into vapid arguments. The accusers are happy to sling unsubstantiated stereotypes towards immigrants, but hide behind soft language like 'we aren't used to making space' when immigrant commenters retaliate in kind.

Racists aren't irrational actors or evil people. They simply have higher affinity for their tribe, and that's okay. Sometimes it takes for self-interests to be threatened, for bigoted & tribal behaviors to manifest in a loud manner. Again, that's okay. Americans are the ones who gave a negative connotation to to words like bigot and racists. In the rest of world, tribal & bigoted behaviors are an accepted norm. We're all racists sometimes. But, American tech workers are definitely at their racist-est on h1b threads.

You can't have your cake and eat it too. Either you are the land of free, that practices extreme meritocracy and thrives as a result of it. You're a nation built by migrant groups over the last 4 centuries, and the door is always open to the ambitious and hard working. A benevolent super-power for all. Or, you're just as tyrannical as any selfish group. You're a white majority people that found a pre-inhabited land of the greatest resources and size. You claimed it all for yourself. Killed the natives. You give lip serve to globalism and meritocracy as long as it gives you access to all markets of the world. Your relationship with the rest of the world is transactional, and you will continue to be a world superpower through military strong-arming and thinly veiled globally-egalitarian propaganda.

The reality ofc, is that neither extremes are true. But, it is a slider between the tribal-nativist and internationalist-meritocratic impulse. There are no right or wrong answers for what a nation's choice will be. But, if your slider is near the former while you claim to be the latter, then the hypocrisy is grating for the rest of us. For the lack of a better insult, it's Trudeau-esque.

Personally, I am a big fan of out-right selfish people. There is genuine honesty there. I also love the US (warts and all). Say what people might, it is the least racist nation of any out there. Lastly, I have a vested interest as someone who is on an H1b myself. (although I'd like to think I'm senior enough to be insulated from negative outcomes for h1b)

As I write this, I recognize that most people don't like harsh phrasing. I don't think our politicians or public speakers should adopt this language. But, a mostly civil pseudo anonymous forum of tech nerds is IMO, just right for this kind of directness.
Nothing more absurd than your response. OpenAI has a large engineering staff, it’s foolish to say they are all working on advancing models. The folks working on ChatGPT are going to continue working on ChatGPT. Let’s not even forget that O1 just got released recently.

Nothing I said was absurd in response to making an unsupported idea that model development has plateaued.

> so the error value is clearly visible in function signature and must at least be explicitly ignored by the caller

Not exactly. There's nothing requiring you to handle errors. But Go doesn't let you have unused values in general.

So in a transaction commit function, if you forget that it returns an error, Go will just let you ignore it. This is a big issue with treating errors as values. https://github.com/golang/go/issues/20803

Well it's definitely not infinitely faster since you're having to review it, but we're talking about the delta between Sonnet and Qwen/Mistral/Llama or whatever, not doing it manually.

I'm really curious what your problem domain is, like specifically what sort of code are you asking it to change and what changes are you asking for.

I just gave o1 and Sonnet a total layup question (optimization that had a huge win simply by filtering an array before sorting it vs the other way around) and neither model got the solution right, both of them came up with ~hundred lines of code, neither model's code worked on the first try. It took me like 10 minutes to refactor and optimize the code for a 6x speedup and it would take longer than that to debug the AI code to even make it run. (I spent 10 minutes prompting/editing to try to get the generated solutions to run)

Also the initial code was 11 sloc, my solution is 14 sloc, and claude was 70 sloc and o1 was 93. idfk, i just don't think we're there yet

I think a lot of these comments don’t properly capture the benefit. The more skilled workers, the more startups/companies, not to mention smarter people.

But the effect is bigger than that, by allowing skilled immigration, it makes US universities and tech companies the best in the world, at the very least seen as such, which has tremendous larger effects.

It’s not a coincidence that we have the largest tech industry, and it’s not because we magically have smarter people.

This isn’t quite accurate. Google/Fitbit just weren’t a big target compared to Apple. After the Apple-Watch ban, Google signed a deal with Masimo.

Also, while it’s suspicious circumstances, we don’t know Apple stole the tech. The lawsuits are still ongoing (after mis-trialing) but Apple lost the appeal to sell the products during the trial. To make it even messier, courts (with a jury) have found that Masimo copied Apple about some design aspects. This is probably one of the messiest corporate litigations in a long time - Apple isn't known for making deals.

When a process is used to serve multiple requests, I don't think you need to let the whole process terminate just because there is a bug dealing with a single request.
Just because we can not reason about the current request does not mean the only way to get to the clean state for other requests is to terminate the whole process.

Many things worth doing involve personal risk, sometimes even to life and limb.

But companies like SpaceX, and many other successful ones, have mastered the distinction between necessary risks and unnecessary ones. And they do a lot to eliminate the latter. Risks from unknowable unknowns are acceptable, but those caused by negligence (especially outsized risks in this category) are not. You can move fast, break things, and still not be negligent.

Consider big failures in business, finance and engineering – Enron, WeWork, collateralized debt obligations and the Challenger disaster perhaps. All had elements of reckless avoidable risks – known problems that were known to be outsized risks/exposures, that go against good known good practices. Known, known, known – that is negligence and dereliction of common sense. One does not move fast and break things for long before all the things are broken this way.

But by not being negligent, I think you can go quite far, even into space. And the opposite of negligent is diligent – sweating the details. SpaceX really does sweat the details a lot. They will not have a power outage like this again. And that's what separates them from the examples of companies and endeavors I've given above. Enron, WeWork, CDOs, the Challenger – all had the same problems, week after week, month after month, quarter after quarter, even year after year that people knew about and chose to ignore.

The pastors and priests I know do much more than 30 minutes of work a week. In addition to the sermon, they provide counseling, perform weddings, funerals, attend each if not leading, visit the sick and homebound, attend to church business, help coordinate activities, help solve conflicts, represent the church, do Bible studies during the week, help with children's programs and so on.

I don't think I would have the stomach to deal with the types of things they deal with. The amount of suffering and grief alone would be hard.

That's exactly what Jesus did and every prophet that has been before him also.

Each prophet sows the seeds for the next within their teachings - each prophet knows how their teachings will become perverted over time, each knows the end of the end of their religion before they start it but they start it anyways bc of the seeds - they can't unseen the fruits borne of them, to them it's plain how people areiving incorrectly and obvious as to what is important and why - it is up to each prophet to determine how to do this in their time and place, speaking to the hearts of the people at that time.

Then they only must pull a Muadib to transform their society - only those with great conviction and faith can do it bc it's quite likely that after a point the prophet also believes themselves to be "real" (they always were of course - if not they would not have had the ears to hear the truth behind what the last prophet said) -

A person playing prophet bc they have the ability to, believing that they are fact a prophet, and having true faith in what they teach - like John the Baptist, they will attain powers they had not - they will attain thru their faith alone not a divine intervention or blessing and not for certain reasons or with limit, it isn't necessary to need something to miracle it so, wanting alone is enough.

All prophets faked it til they made it - every one of can do exactly as they have, it only requires right belief, that we can.

Anyways I'm ranting what I should really just make into another Testament - it will be much, much shorter if I ever do.

More likely it was because the systems didn't exist that incentivized figuring out solutions to the problems which technology solves. Agriculture, animal husbandry, arts, warfare, engineering were all very sophisticated, limited by the materials science available (firearms, for instance, need very strong metals not to explode).

The scientists that existed before the industrial age in the West were upper class, bored and educated men who did it for their own amusement.

It wasn't until the abandonment of the economic system which worked on the assumption that international economics was zero sum and capitalism (and imperialism) took hold that the incentive structure for creating novel technologies could exist.

This is all recollection based on various histories I have consumed and may not be entirely correct, but I'm pretty sure the idea is solid.

Totally depends on what you mean by home schooling. If you mean socially isolated, you may have a good point. I have certainly seen this.

But being home schooled can also mean that the kids learn to operate in the adult world, as children, but with expectations of others as adults and an implied sense that they also should strive to meet the bar of mature adult behavior.

This happens when children exist in the world side by side with their parents, who have chosen to live a life (for the time being) that will provide a rich environment in which their children can mature.

We didn’t have the resources to provide a high quality private education, so we uprooted, sold our stuff, packed up a cargo trailer and a van, and spent a decade getting by on a shoestring while doing the most interesting and challenging things we imagined we might achieve as a family.

For the formative years of my children, that is what we did.

From an early age, aside from their siblings, they interacted primarily with adults in their world, often from different cultures and speaking different languages, and often in situations where the stakes were high (intrinsic danger imposed by the natural environment and classical physics) .

They learned to be a cohesive team, to handle responsibility within the range of their understanding, to seek and accept council, and to ignore immature behavior when it pops up in inappropriate times.

This sometimes rugged beginning has served them quite well in their lives. I could never have provided them with the social foundations that they have today in a public school environment, and we didn’t have the money for a high-caliber private education.
One of the most common reasons (probably number 1) people here would rather not live in Seoul if they could keep their job and educational opportunities is in fact straight up "too many people, too crowded".

> I think vast majority of Americans not going on to higher education is because system is so screwed up due to debt and unlimited student visas.

International students percentage is about 6% of total high education population [1]. We can say that their percentage in higher in some fields/degrees. But overall they are not significant reason High Education is not affordable. Actually for undergraduate (majority of international students) they will pay more tuition and many colleges wants to admit more to subsidize domestic students.

> Debt means most Americans go "I need to enter into the job market so I can pay off these debts".

Study abroad is expensive and you still need to enter the job market to earn your living and probably pay your dept (some will take loans to study in the US). This applies quite well to international students too.
