Most of the time this would happen in the form of an interactive debugging session, with immediate feedback.

Code review is its own domain. In general at some point LLMs need to be trained with a self-evaluation loop. Currently their training data contains a lot of "smart and knowledgeable human tries to explain things". And they average out to conversation that is "smart and knowledgeable...about everything". That won't get us to, "Recognizably thinks of things that no human would have." For that we need to get it producing content that is recognizably higher than human quality.

For that we should find ways to optimize existing models for an evaluation function that says, "Will do really well on self-review." Then it can learn to not just give answers that help with interactive debugging, but actually give answers that will also do well with more strenuous code review. Which it taught itself how to do in a similar way to how AlphaZero manages to teach itself game strategies.
This is it. The phone scrolling has become so addicting that people just go on their phones. And audio quality. You can enjoy the music sometimes at better quality in your own home and scrolling all the same.
I work at a "large company", and I don't agree with most of this. Your write-up is highly subjective, and fairly pessimistic.

Some people hit the ground running, and teams/organizations/companies can thrive if they find ways to embrace that. Sometimes people get hired at the wrong level, and everyone benefits if some sort of work demonstrates that quickly. I have seen promotions happen based on prudent choices around one's individual strengths, simply by choosing to do a bit of the right work and getting eyes on your capabilities. There is no "one size fits all" prescription for what someone should work on.

Having a "shadow lead" can be one of the best situations for your growth, too. Not only do you get the experience leading a thing (for most of what that means, anyway), you may end up with a very strong ally when you knock it out of the park. I had a version of this experience, and I've watched others have it as well.

I'm guessing most of the negatives here are based on your personal experience, and for that I'm sorry. Hopefully you can encourage positive changes in your company's engineering culture.
What I learned so far, at 45, is that you can't rely on your body retaining capabilities just from you not being completely sedentary, as it was the case for me before.

You get to keep only the abilities, movements that you actively use in daily (or perhaps weekly) life. For example if you don't squat you'll gradually lose ability to squat even if you run a mile every day. If you don't jump, or jump down regularly you'll lose that ability too.

I think it's a good idea to enrich your environment so that you are forced to do the things you'd like to retain. For example sleep on the mattress on the floor to get up from floor level every day. Another idea is barefoot shoes so you don't lose stability and active amortization your feet should provide. If you live in a house with multiple floors and bathrooms always use bathroom on another floor. What's infeasible to implement you'll need to supplant with regular intentional exercise like hip abductions.

Thanks! It feels like we should switch the top link to that URL since it's a deeper dive into the new bit that's interesting here.

Hey! One of the creators of Aide here.

ngl the total expenditure was around $10k, in terms of test-time compute we ran upto 20X agents on the same problem to first understand if the bitter lesson paradigm of "scale is the answer" really holds true.

The final submission which we did ran 5X agents and the decider was based on mean average score of the rewards, per problem the cost was around $20

We are going to push this scaling paradigm a bit more, my honest gut feeling is that swe-bench as a benchmark is prime for saturation real soon

1. These problem statements are in the training data for the LLMs

2. Brute-forcing the answer the way we are doing works and we just proved it, so someone is going to take a better stab at it real soon

I know what you mean, and I wish I kept at it. I DJ'd a couple raves back then but it was something that any of my friends were into so I naturally fell out of it even though I loved it so much. I later got back into it briefly and made a few house and trance tracks when computer DAWs became popular.

There was a sense of freedom and optimism on the dance floor that I've never found anywhere else. I made songs like the songs that I most liked to dance to. Most of it came from Europe back then, but I wish I followed my heart, or at least spent half my time following my heart.

I feel bad for the kids in the video. In my day, and maybe yours, it would have been very unusual to see a cellphone in the club or at a rave. My kids schools don't allow screens and they go away for a couple weeks each summer to a camp that doesn't allow screens. They tell me that they really enjoy it after a couple of days, and I think it gives them a chance to feel the way we did as kids... back then there wasn't a movement of people trying to live more in the moment because everybody lived in the moment all the time.

What are you basing this on? Being able to see something once you know it’s there is a different problem from detecting it in the first place.

I honestly don't know...but isn't this sort of like when toasters first came out? I don't know for sure, but i guess toasters maybe didn't have the UL symbol...and probably some accidents happened, maybe house fires and such? Fast forward to nowadays and toasters tend to be pretty safe - well, if used properly and purchased from a reputable manufacturer who has been tested via entities like UL, etc....So yeah, maybe a little extra cost...but wouldn't we want at least some modicum of a signal of quality assurances for IoT devices - like we have for things like toasters?
Nice, any comparison with NotebookLM?
I stand corrected! I guess the rains caused the desert to burn?
It’s definitely the worst fire I’ve ever seen here. Very surreal to watch houses burning while walking my dogs this morning. The only silver lining are the winds blowing the smoke out to sea rather than blanketing Santa Monica.

You can? Thought this thread was about how they're sold out everywhere.
In some way it's the dual of break, in that you want to jump into the middle of the loop, while break is to jump out of it.

Let's rewrite the loop this way, with 'break' expanded to 'goto':

while (true) {
prepare...
if (!cond) goto exitpoint;
process...
}
exitpoint:

The dual would be:

goto entrypoint;
do {
process...
entrypoint:
prepare...
} while(cond);

Both constructs need two points: where the jump begins and where it lands. The 'break' is syntactic sugar that removes the need to specify the label 'exitpoint'. In fact with 'break' the starting point is explicit, it's where the 'break' is, and the landing point is implicit, after the closing '}'.

If we want to add the same kind of syntactic sugar for the jump-in case, the landing point must be explicit (no way for the compiler to guess it), so the only one we can make implicit is the starting point, that is where the 'do' is.

So we need: a new statement, let's call it 'entry', that is the dual of 'break' and a new semantic of 'do' to not start the loop at the opening '{' but at 'entry'.

do {
process...
entry;
prepare...
} while (cond);

Is it more readable than today's syntax? I don't know...
I had always thought that good quality science was not so definitive and certainty was not possible in science.

You're currently being downvoted, but I'm genuinely curious -- is continuous IR monitoring from the sky an effective way to detect wildfires earlier?

Or are small fires indistinguishable from a million other hot objects, until the point where they get large enough to detect reliably, it's already obvious to everyone on the ground from the smoke?

I see, thank you for clarifying. That's an interesting observation, I feel like there is a story behind it. :)

I definitely agree that as any small start-up grows, the security controls become very painful, especially for those folks who felt "the freedom" before the controls were established. That said, would the picture look better without platform teams? The security controls would need to be there anyway, and I'd personally prefer to use some self-serve, platform-ish solution built by a team of software engineers that would do call auditing, verification, etc., rather than raising a JIRA ticket with some ops folks who'd do the security-sensitive thing for you.
The Yahoo that built Yahoo Mail no longer exists, so actually they probably don't remember.

I think here is where the problem isn't purely a technical one anymore. You're right that, from a legal perspective, there is a difference as the burden of proof would now be on someone else. But, if this actually matters or not, depends entirely on the situation. If you're a criminal trying to get away with something then the change in the burden of proof is all you need. If instead you're a politician trying to avoid some imbarassment, the situation isn't any different: you're claiming in both cases that someone is trying to frame you for something you didn't say. In one case, this person stole your password, in the other he/she used an old and by now publicly available DKIM key. But if people believe you or not (and this would be everything a politician would care about) depends on factors outside the scope of cryptography. Regarding OTR: IIRC it is based on a shared secret. This can work for IM, but it wouldn't scale for emails as it would pose the key distribution issues that made us discover public key cryptography.
This almost guaranteed to be a waste of time for others, though, because you created them for yourself, perhaps less so for you.

That implies AArch64 support which many hobby OSes don't have, usually because the introductory osdev material is written largely for x86.

But yes, raspi is a good platform if you are targeting arm.

As I'm also designing an OS, my biggest piece of advice for anyone seriously considering it is to target two archs at once, in parallel. Then adding a third becomes much easier.

I can't personally vouch for the program as I have not attended, but the University of Illinois offers quite a few mathematics courses online geared toward high school students, distance learners, and those preparing for grad school.

It is self-paced, so may not be what you're looking for, and it is expensive ($1250 if you have a BS already), but I seriously considered going this route before deciding to save big $$ and attend the local community college (which was actually a decent decision).

Program link: https://netmath.illinois.edu/

They offer 2 linear algebra courses, Math 257, which is Linear Algebra with Computer Applications (likely the "easy" applied version) and Math 416, Abstract Linear Algebra. Some of these Netmath courses do not have online lectures, but the Abstract LA course has video lectures from 2016.

From their site: "Math 416 is a rigorous, abstract treatment of linear algebra. Topics to be covered include vector spaces, linear transformations, eigenvalues and eigenvectors, diagonalizability, and inner product spaces. The course concludes with a brief introduction to the theory of canonical forms for matrices and linear transformations."

When I was investigating what to do in order to solidify my math credentials (still a work in progress), I knew UofI was a good school, and figured credit in one of their courses (online or not) would not be a terrible investment. At a bare minimum it wouldn't be belittled or untrusted like other online certificates might.

Plus the credit should transfer anywhere, if that's important.
Your cost analysis is both thorough and thought-provoking.

I have a good view of the smoke column from Brentwood. I've also never seen a fire spread that fast. Same thing, in about an hour it went from a small fire to the smoke blocking out the sun.

As a testament to the speed of the winds, I've never seen a smoke column visually move so quickly. Usually at that size and distance, they feel more like static objects.

Edit: I'm preparing to evacuate tonight in case the order comes through. Checking the most recent maps, the fire has burned through almost all of the Palisades and is getting into Brentwood. The fire may also reach Santa Monica at this rate. I'm stacking go bags by the door.
I've released projects based on M5Stack. Not much to say: it does what it claims. Getting the right software libraries in place is a minor pain, but all in all it's pretty straightforward as far as embedded development goes.

Thank you and not off topic at all, I was thinking this the whole time I was working on this project. The modern browser is magic.
Yeah, and I probably should have figured out a more tactful way to make the point I was making. I wanted it to be more like a "you're one of today's lucky 10,000!"[0] to point out that I think you've been swimming in water without knowing it[1], but I think it ended up just being condescending.

there is no issue in detecting. You sweep the area. The IR sources like a tank - pops up like Xmas tree even on relatively cheap IR from 10km (there is a lot of footage from Ukraine war for example). A house fire would easily pop-up even from tens of km. A acre size fire - it would pop-up even on coarse grain IR from space.
That's the point I was trying to highlight in the "Treating product engineers as customers" sin section – the duality goes both ways. Sometimes the best thing for the company is to make the lives of product engineers better, sometimes it's to make them worse. You do whatever is best for the company, not for the product engineers.

My takeaways

1. The prime target list is people with crypto accounts. You can steal from them much more easily than the real banking system. The guys who got Mark Cuban must have been super pumped until they only got 40 grand.

2. Remote Teams of thieves who scam remote people over the phone tend to be morally lax enough to steal from their teammates and so the teams only last a few weeks. Which is weirdly opposite to the advice for bankers which is crimes occur less when WFH

3. Why did I not get the domain “commandandcontrolserver.com” - that’s cool!

4. This is so easy to fall for. But it’s fairly hard to steal “real” money, and honestly we should pressure banks to make it even harder - something along the lines of “want a loan, visit a branch in person” and similar fraud reduction choices. Criminals are showing us the way - they target easy to steal / easy to get away crypto - so run in the opposite direction

Yes, it is effective. We have several NASA/NOAA satellites with IR instruments on them that are used for fire detection. These are obviously much more useful for detecting fires that start in very rural areas under moderate conditions. The current crop of fires in LA are all very close to populated areas and spread fast, so satellite mapping wasn't of any use for detection. Also, California in particular has a really great fleet of IR mapping planes that give firefighters and the public much more detailed fire information than the satellite coverage, but when I lived in Oregon where they don't have a similar system, the satellite coverage was often the most up to date information on fire perimeters.
Intel's E cores are literally derived from the Atom product line. But the practice of including a heterogeneous mix of CPU core types was developed and proven and made mainstream within the ARM ecosystem before being hastily adopted by Intel as an act of desperation (dragging Microsoft along for the ride).
