> if even half the people who call themselves "AI Engineers" would read the research in the field, we'd have a lot less hype and a lot more success in finding the actual useful applications of this technology

As someone working in the area for a few years now (both on the product and research side), I strongly disagree. A shocking number of papers in this area are just flat out wrong. Universities/Research teams are churning out garbage with catchy titles at such a tremendous rate that reading all of these papers will likely leave one understanding less than if they read none.

The papers in this list are decent, but I wouldn't be shocked if the conclusions of a good number of them were ultimately either radically altered or outright inverted as we learn more about what's actually happening in LLMs.

The best AI engineers I've worked with are just out there experimenting and building stuff. A good AI engineer definitely has to be working closely to the model, if you're just calling an API you're not really an "AI Engineer" in my book. While most good AI engineers have likely accidentally read most of these paper through the course of their day job, they tend to be reading them with skepticism.

A great demonstration of this is the Stable Diffusion community. Hardly any of the innovation in that space is even properly documented (this, of course, is not ideal), much less used for flag planting on arXiv. But nonetheless the generative image AI scene is exploding in creativity, novel applications, and shocking improvements all with far less engineering/research resources devoted to the task than their peers in the LLM world.
You can do a (local) install using `npm install` and then execute the binary using `npx`. npx will also try to fetch the binary over the network if you don't have it installed, which is questionable behaviour in my opinion, but you can just cancel this if it starts doing it.
I'm the white cis male with grey hair, but in my n of one experience I have encountered very few situations in which not taking the bait on the first provocation, showing a bit of empathy and respect didn't quickly get the same empathy and respect in return.

> worth looking into just why this causes people to go into a mouth frothing rage.

I agree with this, it's not nice to be dehumanised or disrespected, it's awful. I saw someone speak recently who dipped into this kind of broad anti-male language to get a sneering laugh from the crowd more than once. With friends, with people who matter deeply to me, I'd want to speak to them about the petty provocation in their choice of language, but right now, I still think that following down the path of chasing down that language in public is a dead end, because a person speaking in that way is scratching for a fight, probably not a productive fight but a let the fury out fight. There may be a legitimate reason for that fury but I don't want to be the bucket it gets poured into. I am up for a sincere difficult conversations about real problems, and usually people pick that up and respond accordingly. Most people aren't sociopaths, and can't resist reciprocating sincere empathy and respect.

> benefits outweigh the risks and negative impacts

This is deflecting a critique of a systemic problem with a defense in terms of individual (and personal) effects. Taken broadly, this statement is utterly wrong, and the benefits come nowhere close to the dramatically negative impacts on human health and life, accessibility, neighborhood cohesion, child development, commute time/difficulty, the local and global economy, the local and global environment, etc.

If the whole system around you were changed, even marginally, toward more efficient and effective uses of land, infrastructure, and resources than a car culture, you would almost certainly significantly benefit (along with everyone else). For problems of this magnitude your personal choice is not really the issue (though there are certainly personal choices you can make which have a slight positive impact in your local neighborhood).

I sometimes think it's the artsy design which feels so warm. As an 11-year-old, I was mesmerised by them. I didn't understand a ton of things Captain Haddock said with English being the 2nd language.

Even today, I love it's aesthetic design a lot. I discovered Asterix and Obelix when I was 17 and they had similar vibes and energy with their designs in them too.

Popular Indian comics at the time (Chacha Choudhary and others) were great too but the design aesthetic were worlds apart.

"Not racist", i.e. what was in the 90s called "colourblind".

If you describe yourself this way nowadays, and hold to and espouse those principles - not taking race into consideration when making decisions; considering people a priori to have equal moral worth regardless of race, etc. - self-identified "anti-racist" people will call you "racist". This has happened to me on many occasions. It is nonsense, of course. But sometimes they have social power. It's functionally what happened when I was banned from the Python Discourse forum, except they went a step further and claimed (utterly groundlessly) that I was accusing them of "reverse racism" (a term which I do not use, and which I view as an invention of self-identified "progressives" to strawman the views of those opposed to them) in taking other moderation actions against me.

Yeah, but the unsealed docs in the court case proving this to be true, aren't old news.
Sure. You seem to think that LLMs will be unable to identify abstraction opportunities if the code is not identical; that’s not obvious to me. Indeed there are some good (but not certain) reasons to think LLMs will be better at broad-not-deep stuff like “load codebase into context window and spot conceptual repetition”. Though I think the creative insight of figuring out what kind of abstraction is needed may be the spark that remains human for a while.

Also, maybe recognizing the repetition remains the human's job, but refactoring is exponentially easier and so again we get better code as a result.

Seems to me to be pretty early to be making confident predictions about how this is all going to pan out.

Yes, you bring up a real problem - the dominance of "sale by mail". But I think if there is a return policy or a 'try before you buy' one then the usual quality inspection might work.

Postal based sales (mediated by a web interface or whatever) would be a problem of evaluating the quality of domestic (presumably higher quality) goods.

The now antiquated in-person retail outlet allowed you to inspect the goods before you purchased.

Now we just hope some AI summary of reviews and a "star system" will provide us quality goods....?

Or buy a great, "dumb" amp and a modern Streamer (e.g. Wiim) as the best way to minimise waste when standards inevitably evolve.

> Let's hear it for strong public prosecutors

Let me guess, you're a conservative who thinks being "tough on crime" is the answer to crime, and being tougher will make us safer.

My dude, Japan isn't particularly tough on crime. It's certainly softer on crime than the US in most ways. In other ways it's tougher on crime that Americans (and especially conservatives) wouldn't accept. For example, they've taken a hard stance on financial crimes, to combat the yakuza. If you're associated with the yakuza they'll cut you off from the finance system. This includes entire businesses. You don't even have to be convicted. A lot of the murder rate in the US is driven by drugs, and that drug money is flowing to legitimate businesses and political contributions.

The reason for the lack of crime in Japan is obviously up for debate, but it's obviously partially social, and also heavily financial. There's less extreme poverty, there's (very cheap) universal healthcare, healthcare for children is free till they're 18, child care is subsidized (and now free for all in Tokyo), transportation is extremely cheap, rent is affordable, food is relative inexpensive, etc.

Poverty levels are way more associated with crime levels than toughness on crime.
Well said. I have a Wiim Pro & Mini, and love them both. And it's the best way of minimising waste (given some waste is inevitable as standards change, until they let us change the board inside the Wiim or something!)

I was a ticket taker. The irony is that I'm not even a week in on my first job and this manager is definitely not making me be a ticket taker. I already completed some scraping projects.

This is why I personally like to use none of the CI features, and mostly use it like a shell script executor. Images? Stick to OS images only so that you can easily spin them up with `docker run` locally. Artifacts? Read and write them into S3 buckets and avoid the native artifact features.

This is obviously more difficult in the Github actions ecosystem, but I have mostly used Gitlab CI so far. My CI pipelines mostly look like this:

image: ubuntu:24.04
before_script:
- apt-get install ...
script:
- ./ci/build-project.sh
after_script:
- ./ci/upload-build-artifacts.sh

Because its easier. Because it fits together nicer and more consistently. Also because UV is well written and written in rust so all the parts are fast. You can recreate a venv from scratch for every run.

Also as silly as it is I actually have a hard time remembering the venv syntax each time.

uv run after a checkout with a lock file and a .python-version file downloads the right python version creates a venv and then installs the packages. No more needing throwaway venvs to get a clean pip freeze for requirements. And I don't want to compile python, even with something helping me compile and keep track of compiles like pyenv a lot can go wrong.

And that assumes an individualindividual project run by someone who understands python packaging. UV run possibly in a wrapper script will do those things for my team who doesn't get packaging as well as I do. Just check in changes and next time they UV run it updates stuff for them

> the YIMBYs who said any new housing development was good were wrong

The article says nothing about price. Based on precedent, we can expect this glut of luxury housing to reduce housing prices and rents in the affected markets.

Precedent: "Zillow data from 2013 to 2018" shows "new buildings lower nearby rents in low-income neighborhoods" [1]. In New York, "new high-rise construction (greater than seven stories caused nearby high-end and mid-range rental building rents to decrease" and no "significant rental decreases for housing at the low-end of the mark." The only place luxury housing had a gentrification effect, i.e. where more luxury housing increased community amenities, thereby causing "lower tier housing" to see "a 6.6% rise in rental pricing compared to comparison" was Minneapolis, and that's due to "a limited number of low market tier buildings in th[e] distance band."

Anecdotally, I years ago used the opening of luxury buildings in my Manhattan neighbourhood to negotiate a lower rent. The builidngs, which opened around the same time, competed heavily on discounted amenities. My building was 25% unoccupied; I showed my landlord the math for why, after accounting for gym and laundry costs, the luxury building was cheaper than our pre-War given the rent I was paying. He agreed and lowered it. (If he hadn't, I'd have moved and saved money.)
