"Like, the same font, right? And she points this out to the HR manager, and they’re like, Yeah, that means that this person’s the most qualified, because it’s the exact same language. And she’s like, This person is clearly unqualified because they didn’t even know to reformat. And this is not an outlier. Like, this happens a lot.

So first they’re looking for these exact matches. And then they take everybody who was really close in language—and also, by the way, who has something called a government resume, which is different from a private-sector resume, and you have to know that somehow, magically, before you apply. Then from that pool, they send everyone a self-assessment questionnaire, and everybody who marks themselves as master, and I literally mean master—I think that’s the top rating in a lot of these—they make the next down select, so they move on to the next pool."

This is not necessarily what I would consider transparent or fair. FWIW I do think government can provide value, but I think folks who don't live in America don't understand how dramatically different and worse the implementation of government is in America from many other countries who sometimes do get value from some aspects of government even if the goals are similar.

That's interesting because a CRM sounds like a strong use case for server-rendered HTML: Relatively low interactivity outside of form handling, which is consistently a weak point for SPAs. I wonder how different your experience would have been back then if you had modern browser APIs and something like Turbo, because the manner in which you go about the JS makes a huge difference. I would not advocate that people use HTMX for example, which strikes me as just being inline JS.
This is utter nonsense. If 1000 people go to a deserted island with no government and taxation would that mean the inflation will be plus infinity or at least very high??? Inflation is monetary phenomenon, it happens when money is being printed.

1) It’s an example of a domain an LLM can do better than humans. A 2012 system was not able to do myriad other things LLMs can do and thus not qualified as general intelligence.

2) As mentioned in the chart label, earlier systems require manual symptom extraction.

3) An important point well articulated by a cancer genomics faculty member at Harvard:

“….Now, back to today: The newest generation of generative deep learning models (genAI) is different.

For cancer data, the reason these models hold so much potential is exactly the reason why they were not preferred in the first place: they make almost no explicit data assumptions.

These models are excellent at learning whatever implicit distribution from the data they are trained on

Such distributions don’t need to be explainable. Nor do they even need to be specified

When presented with tons of data, these models can just learn, internalize & understand…..”

I’d have to agree that it’s random to find. The entire time I was exploring PMF it felt like coin flips. I couldn’t help but wonder if the feedback I was getting is just a string of tails or something actually converging to .5. I think getting expert advice makes it a little less biased in the outcome. Still, it feels very much random. I feel sorry for the people who spend years trying the PMF lottery. It’s hard to know when to quit an idea for so many reasons, financially, emotionally, etc.
I could've been a bit more clear, sorry about that.

I think one major improvement for folks like me would be human->regex LLM translator, ideally also respecting different flavors/syntax for various languages and tools.

This has been a bane of me - I run into requirement to develop some complex regexes maybe every 2-3 years, so I dig deep into specs, work on it, deliver eventually if its even possible, and within few months almost completely forget all the details and start at almost same place next time. It gets better over time but clearly I will retire earlier than this skill settles in well.
> If God were malevolent, none of them would exist here in this world.

That's your whole point? That a malevolent entity wouldn't conjure a sentient being to torture them because creating them is too good and would offset any evil he might commit against them?

Man has a female dog, he ensures it has puppies because he wants to torture and kill the puppies.

Oh, what marvelously moral man! Godlike! He gifted the puppies with existance! That's surely infinite good and by comparison any torture and killing he does is only finite and means nothing compared to his infinite goodness.

Malevolence almost requires creation. There's only so much evil you can do before needing to create something new. And if nothing exists, just yourself, literally the first step is to create something you can be evil towards.

I don't even need to mention clearly amoral assumption that good and evil are somehow additive and you may offset evil with good. It represents a stage of development of morality that humanity surpassed on average few hundred years ago at least. Average person in the West today knows that a TV host creating magical childhood for thousands of kids doesn't offset him sexually assaulting even one kid.

The bulk of your writing is trying to argue that God is special, so setting up the world in which babies die of cancer, while having perfectly free choice to set it up so they don't, is good actually, not evil. Would be evil only if someone other than God did it. This is a line of reasoning straight from: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mysterious_Stranger

Sorry, but that argumentation makes you seem like amoral monster so I clasify this attempt as failed.

> It's so funny how outrage poisoned partisans have such crushing issues with pronouns.

They might just be illiterate.

Let’s all be charitable.
You have an error there (bad copy-paste?).

Should be "Stały 4 książki na półce".

Anyway, to make sense of the second one: treat "5 książek" as "5 of books", or "a 5-set of books"

— Four books were sitting on a shelf ("books" are plural, feminine)

— A five-set of books was sitting on a shelf ("five-set" is singular, neutral)

Now, why 5 becomes a set and 4 doesn't is not something I have a clue about.

But hope it helps grok how it affects the form of the noun being enumerated :)

> so he could still be charged with murder related ones if they were not dropped with prejudice

They were dismissed with prejudice.

> “We are pleased that the prosecutors in the District of Maryland, after almost five years, have dismissed their indictment against Ross. Holding this over Ross’ head, without taking it to trial where he could defend himself, has been very damaging to Ross and his case, especially because it contained the only charge of murder-for-hire. Of course, this charge was never proven or convicted, but was very effective in smearing Ross’s reputation and hurting him in the legal process”.

> She said, “We had some good news recently. The indictment and superseding indictment against Ross in the District of Maryland were dismissed ‘with prejudice,’ meaning they can never be re-filed. This is especially good because those indictments contained the only charge ever made that Ross engaged in murder-for-hire. This was a serious allegation that Ross denies. It was never prosecuted or ruled on by a jury but was trumpeted by the government and the media as if it were proven fact”.

> Following his arrest in 2013, prosecutors also alleged that he planned murder-for-hire although, curiously, he was never charged or prosecuted for it at trial (and the allegations were dismissed with prejudice by a U.S. District Judge in 2018).

> The allegations were never charged at trial, never proven, never submitted to, or ruled on by, a jury, and eventually dismissed with prejudice. Ross consistently denied the allegations (which relied on anonymous online chats never proven to have been authored by him) and those who know him never believed them. The only alleged victim ever identified, Curtis Green, is a fervent supporter of Ross’s clemency.

> One thing that we were surprised about was that it could see clear through latex balloons.

This was something which surprised me too. Not specifically latex, but how many manufactured materials appear to be transparent in IR.

The explanation I heard is that it is because dye manufacturers usually want to make their product keep their colour long even when exposed to direct sunlight. And the easiest way to achieve that is by selecting materials which are transparent in IR. If they weren't the absorbed IR energy would break them down faster.

So people usually don't care about the IR opaqueness of their pigments/dyes but they care about colour fastness. And that is what selects for IR transparency.

It was "expertsexchange.com" initially. Then they disambiguated it by renaming to "experts-exchange.com", just to be clear.
> someone has used that (along with a local area code) as the phone number for a store loyalty card.

Usually because for far too long, noisy retailers wanted a "phone number" upon checkout (even if one was paying cash -- Radio Shack was an especially bad one back in the day). For those who didn't want to get yet more telemarketing calls, repeating "Jenny's number" [1] from the song was a way to "just buy" whatever it was you wanted. The minimum wage cashier didn't care, but the cash register demanded "a number". So giving the cashier Jenny's number worked.

This has largely faded now that they can track everyone via one's credit card numbers.

It seems like the same set of arguments to me.
It's different. It doesn't always just give one translation but different options. I can do things like give it a phrase and then ask it to break it down. Or give it a word and if its translation doesn't make sense to me ask how it works in the context of a phrase.

llm -c, which continues the previous conversation, is specifically useful for that sort of manipulation.

It's also available from the command line, which I find convenient because I basically always have one open.
There were a few articles on this in the media a day or two after the election that had lists in them, but I can't find them anymore because this new news overwhelmed the search terms I remember.

Many of the promises were directly conflicting, and/or upsetting to other groups that also had promises made to them. One example would be he promised some groups to push for the death penalty for anyone involved in selling drugs, in conflict with his pardon of Ulbricht here.

> Nobody said anything about translating pages into screens.

Well, someone did. The person above them said you can just map your Rails html routes into JSON returning routes (translating pages into API endpoints).

Which obviously gives you a suboptimal API since data access is tied to Rails pages instead of having a flexible, deliberate API.

And once you build and have to maintain the latter along with the former, you are now duplicating work. It's a familiar issue for people who have built SSR apps.

An SPA is actually very suitable for this type of app. It was simple forms in the 00s, but it's not that anymore.
First, in my case, the back end is an API (python). It is also serving mobile apps, and 3rd party integrations. Turbo is more suitable, if I'm not mistaken, for Javascript based applications.
Second, my CRM is fast. The UI is snappy and there is little lag, which is something people comment on a lot.
And third, there are many components there where a page reload will break things - for example, when you perform a telephone call from the browser. You can still navigate the data, without reloading the page and cutting the call.

It's never simple, and NEVER EVER one size fits all. I'm saying this after about 30 years of doing this job commercially.

The Collective: Hand-picked web dev and design links, updated daily
The hash table is still doing a string compare per bucket.

The best technique I have seen is to have an open addressing hash table whose keys are 64 bit hashes and values are pointers.

Then you layer on top of that to make a string dictionary. The value of the hash table is a linked list chain of key value pairs where the key is a string.

In the vast majority of cases you never touch the chain. Only when two keys have identical 64 bit hashes (not bucket indices) do you need to disambiguate with string equality.

This design is much faster and can be easily reconfigured for key types which are not strings, with no changes to the underlying hash table.
