This is awesome. Pebble is still the best so many years later! I also have the Garmin, but Garmin thinks UX design is a waste of money or something, its horrendous. Pebble is the absolute undisputed King here.

Can’t wait to get my hands on a new Pebble!

That is highly unlikely.
If you can get the exact same result for less cost (time and money), why not? Things like enjoyment don't factor in since they can't be directly converted into money.
Huge bezel though. Would've got it if not for the bezel, I really wanted to make a custom 24h watchface for a Round. Went for the Time Steel instead. Hope in this new leg of the journey they can get a Round to have bezel coverage more on par with the rectangular models.
At will employment means it is lower risk to pay employees high salaries. People in US tech clear $500k/year because if you are worth the $500k/yr the business keeps you as the arrangement is mutually beneficial and if you are not worth the $500k/yr you are gone.

You cannot have it both ways. Either high salaries and easy to fire or low salaries and hard to fire.

For me personally, at will employment has been beneficial. I make around 4x as much money as my European peers and I aggressively save. At this point I could be out of a job for 10 years and still be ahead of those working in Europe.

Try to give everyone the same good camera. I gave my girlfriend a pro iPhone very early in the relationship, anticipating tons of photo taking, and it paid off. The phone could capture any moment, even challenging ones and very easily share it with her family and me.

They are closer to being deterministic machines that comply exactly with your instructions, for better or worse, than they are to magical pixies that guess what you must’ve actually meant. The implicit expectation demonstrated by many in the “loudly disappointed in LLMs” contingent seems to be that LLMs should just know what you meant, and then blame them for not correctly guessing it and delivering it.

I think LLMs have uncovered what we have always known in this industry: that people are, by default, bad at communicating their intent clearly and unambiguously.

If you express your intent to an LLM with sufficient clarity and disambiguation, it will rarely screw up. Often, we don’t have time to do this, and instead we aim for the sweet spot of sufficient but not exhaustive clarity. This can be fine if you are experienced with that particular LLM and you have a good feel for where its sweet spot actually is. If you miss that target, though, the LLM will not correctly infer your intended subtext. This is one of the things that requires experience. In fact, even the “same” LLM will change in its behavior and capabilities as it undergoes fine tuning. Sometimes it will even get worse at certain things.

All of this is to say, of course, you’re right that it’s not a compiler. But I think people fail in their application of LLMs for much the same reason that novice coders fail to get compilers to guess what they intended.

Interesting, and maybe that was indeed part of their effort to improve the process.

It was more than 10 years ago. And the candidate was from Apple, hence his currency in Objective-C.

Another good friend worked at Google for some time after that, and reported a pretty toxic evaluation regime that pitted employees directly against each other. He eventually left.
I think it's looking pretty grim for all derivative intellectual activity, with increasing hurdles for what counts as non-derivative. Entrepreneurial activity is not special in this regard.

Interacting in and with the physical world is still largely unsolved, so this will remain for longer.
You can’t draw more than rudimentary conclusions from the comparison because we could have evolved different behaviors, or we could share them, or we could work that way on the savannah but not in a city, etc. These conversations can be and are used to say whatever the speaker wants to say, since they can just select a trait that’s been observed in a monkey case study and apply it lazily to humans. “Wow humans sure like to jerk off, must be because we’re like bonobos!”
Even if it was a sponsorship, I find it strange that you can’t have copies of the immigration docs so that you can at least explain to immigration what’s going on. I’d imagine there is case number or something that you could keep?

Otherwise what happens? You can’t even explain or prove your current situation? Seems draconian.
Still rocking my Time Steel since 2015, still running the same official version of the software on both watch and phone - as far as my Pebble is concerned nothing much has changed in the last decade except the app store mysteriously went offline, and the battery no longer lasts two weeks (shutting it down every time I get home).

Really awesome to hear by the time this little guy gives up the ghost there might already be a legitimate/official successor available to switch to.
Would you wear a Pebble too?
Ime engineers who find LLM useful have misunderstood their reasons for existence outside of being salaried..

What is your main project ? Do you LLM that? (

I wager you're not a rust expert and should maybe reconsider using rust in your main project.

FWIW asking LLM whether you should use rust ~ asking it about the meaning of life. Important questions that need answers, but not right away! (A week or 2 tops)

If you need to synthesize the universe of information with LLM.. that is not the universe you want to live or play in
I noticed a long time ago that the frequencies for AM channels are always divisible by 9 (at least in Australia). Never looked into why (those were the days before the internet...)
Maybe a thing to note here is that the behavior of many different kinds of social animals changes dependent on the living situation.

Given that, it is not unreasonable to wonder (hope?) that there might be human living conditions that reduce "brutally dominant social heirarchy".

The best part is: we even appear to have archeological evidence that this is true, for humans!
> This is a large number of long chain-of-thought reasoning examples (600,000 of them). These are very hard to come by and very expensive to label with humans at this scale. Which is why the process to create them is the second special thing to highlight

I didn't know the reasonings were part of the training data. I thought we basically just told the LLM to "explain its thinking" or something as an intermediate step, but the fact that the 'thinking' is part of the training step makes more sense and I can see how this improves things in a non-trivial way.

Still not sure if using word tokens as the intermediate "thinking" is the correct or optimal way of doing things, but I don't know. Maybe after everything is compressed into latent space it's essentially the same stuff.

Open source is about communication and co-operation. But closed auto-cratic societis don't want that. They may use its results, but they don't want people working together to solve problems. They don't want new ideas, they want the status quo to be going on forever.
Yep- key point, we work in Discord. We blogged about that too, https://blog.railway.com/p/how-we-work

The blog post is a bit old but the point mostly stands- we try to keep our customers close to us, but lately, we have extolled the virtues of focus work, so we rotate the customer comms baton through our on-call system.
Perhaps being a PM for several years has helped, I’ve had great success speeding up my programming workflows by prompting Claude with very specific, well defined tasks.

Like many others are saying, you need to be in the drivers seat and in control. The LLM is not going to fully complete your objectives for you, but it will speed you up when provided with enough context, especially on mundane boilerplate tasks.

I think the key to LLMs being useful is knowing how to prompt with enough context to get a useful output, and knowing what context is not important so the output doesn’t lead you in the wrong direction.
Lmfao that’s a great observation. Probably at least a big part of it.
I've applied it to my studies as well. You will achieve little by learning a bit of everything. There is always one area of knowledge you are urgently lacking in, that you should hyperfocus on, in order to alleviate the information bottleneck of the system you are working on. It's the same as in the book: the teacher is always whittling down the incoherent problem space to the critical piece of wisdom that the protagonist then has to discover on his own.
I agree, the growth marketer trend of nailing users with a marketing mailer every week drives me insane.

This is so cool. A little context:

In germany we sometimes try to be funny (in a nice way - not making fun of native speakers but more of ourselves not being able to translate something), when we translate german phrases to english word-by-word ignoring english grammar resulting in total nonsense. The closest comparable native speaker thing to do I can think of is "I can has cheezburger"[1]

For example: A german artist / comedian named Helge Schneider took the german phrase

ich brech' zusammen

which would really translate in

I collapse

but word by word it goes

I break together

I => ich
break => brechen
together => zusammen

which must be total nonsense to native speakers. He even took it a little further and replaced break (brechen) with brake (bremsen) to make it even more nonsense - probably only germans can really understand what's really meant [2].

Your phrase is pretty similar for german people (but more understandable to native speakers) - "das Internet geht kaputt" => "the internet will break", but word by word it is:

the interwebs all go kaput

the interwebs => das Internet
goes => geht
kaput => kaputt

Thank you for responding, I did not know that this was a thing - probably interesting for linguists how this came back to native speakers.

A bit of a meta note: the comments on that blog are a refreshingly utopian snippet of the best parts of the internet. Deep discussion about the work, including original authors of an earlier publication adding context is such a great way to share and advance knowledge.
I get you. The purple circles are not kissing other circles, but the yellow ones -- not sure. In general it seems to have to do with how constrained they are.

And there may be differently-arranged also-optimal packings - e.g. for N = 18 there are others besides what is shown.
I'm still a little confused. A monster of strength X seems to make me lose X HP and gain X gold.

The first level is easy. I have 5 HP, and I need 5 gold to level up, so I kill monsters worth 5 and I gain enough gold to level up.

But after that I need more gold than I have HP to spend. There's the odd heart, which gives me more HP, but there don't seem to be enough hearts to make up the difference.

Edit: Ok, I got it now. Like minesweeper, it requires careful exploration of safe areas in order to gain those hearts and chests that are needed to bridge the gaps between HP and XP.

I got to level 13, then misclicked.

The source code has zero business value to Google at this point – they have another smartwatch OS and there's never gonna be a business case for a company of Google's scale to revive a niche product like this. Releasing means getting free PR on Hacker News and a free morale boost for employees who care about this kind of thing.
The book is worth reading. Unless your work is highly parallelised, it’s hard to not create bottlenecks.
This sounds like a truism, and truisms don't seem like a great basis for policy. Surely you can come up with some more objective measure of federal worker productivity rather than relying on lazy cliches.
> it never replicated and should be considered just as bogus

Did someone try to replicate it? What were the results? What were their conclusions about its credibility?

> all the other stuff in social psych which hasn't survived the replication crisis.

Replication isn't black and white: Most of the experiments - at least in the early widely reported phase - did replicate but with less statistically strong results.
You get a field strength the same way the pros do - from the antenna factors for your antenna and the cable loss. Look at a public FCC test report for an exposition of the method. DIY dipoles and even horns are not going to be very much different from ideal. Calibrated antennas are typically not more than a dB or two off ideal. Dipoles not even that unless they're broken. Horns and log-periodic antennas, enough that it can matter - but fine for hobbyist practice and even most pre-compliance work. I once discovered an RF engineer was using ideal gain numbers for a horn antenna instead of the calibration data for pre-compliance - it fortunately did not make a practical difference. The Roberts balun for measurement dipoles is standardized and I have instructions for building one around here somewhere. That is literally the reference for calibrating other antennas.

The primitive method for getting an antenna calibration is the three-antenna method. If you are particularly motivated, you can build three Roberts dipoles and check them. For a number of reasons, you might want to have three dipole kits anyway if you are doing a lot of these measurements.

"Tricky" in the sense that skiing is tricky. You will struggle learning from books and the internet. Starting from scratch with DIY equipment would be quite challenging. But it's all in standards and the open literature.
> The fact the wolf alpha male theory was wrong doesn't imply we don't have alpha dominance for men.

It isn't wrong. The headline is intentionally misleading and the article is just woke nonsense. Read it for yourself.

What the article is really saying that the alpha in a zoo wolfpack is different than an alpha in a wild wolfpack because a zoo wolfpack is between non-related wolves whilest in the wild, wolfpacks are composed of family members ( alpha father/alpha mother and children ).

There are alpha in wolf packs ( zoos and wild ). Just like in a human family the father/mother are alphas while in a gang, the alpha is usually a non-related individual.

The "myth" isn't that the alpha doesn't exist. The "myth" is about the relation of the alpha to the rest of the pack.
>the P550 cores run at a lower frequency (1.4GHz) than the A75 (2GHz).

The compared chips are 12nm vs 10nm, different chips on different fabs with different targets.

One happens to be 1.4GHz and the other happens to be 2GHz. I wouldn't read any more than that.

I'm fascinated by the "family memory TV" idea. Losing cherished memories—photos, videos, or writings—is a recurring fear of mine and a big reason I’ve embraced digital hoarding. Having a place to share this with yourself and others is really powerful.

Could you share more details about your setup? Do videos play continuously in your living room, or are they triggered by presence? Is sound muted or do you just have it at a lower level?

The Google transformer paper was 2017. ChatGPT was the “we can give a version away of this for free.” Llama was “we can afford to give away the whole product for free to even the playing field.” Every tech giant comes out with a comparable product simultaneously. And now a hedge fund, not even a megacap company, can churn out a clone by hiring a small or medium size engineering team.

Really this should be an indictment of corporate bloat, having hundreds of thousand headcount companies distracted by performance reviews, shareholders, marketing, rebuilding the same product they launched two years ago under a new name.

Not exactly a good sign for OpenAI considering Spotify has no power to increase prices enough such that it can earn a decent profit. Spotify’s potential is capped at whatever Apple/Amazon/Alphabet let them earn.

I was laid off about a month ago. I worked as a software designer and one of the top experts in the world on the software and its subject matter. Didn't matter, they broomed me anyway.

Broken trust, indeed.
Based on my own modestly successful forays into that world, I have to imagine one problem the LLMs have in that space is terrible training data. A good three quarters of any search result you search for in that space will be straight-up out-of-date and not work on your system. Then you've got all the tiny variations between dozens of chipsets, and all the confidently wrong people on the internet telling you to do nonsensical things, entire ecosystems that basically poofed out of existence three years ago but are still full of all kinds of juicy search terms and Google juice... if I can hardly paw through this stuff with years of experience and the physical hardware right in front of me to verify claims with, I don't know how an LLM is supposed to paw through all that and produce a valid answer to any question in that space, without its own hardware to fiddle with directly.
yeah it was just my facetious way of observing that there could be other explanations that he was gone as soon as he couldn't charge for his presence, in fact when I consult I would never charge for going to one of those things - but I would of course expense it on my taxes.
Great quotes. They didn’t ignore the existence of tireless efforts of Western tech they benefited off it and stole it.

Obviously it’s a power play as China seeks influence beyond money now that’s secured. I think people should receive it on its merits.

The strategy of open sourcing to eliminate the competitive mode of those with proprietary designs is a bit of a desperate play, favored by the weaker competitor, lacking access to the desired market.

You can also perceive it as hostile and in line with dumping practices, where a high volume of product is dumped into a market at cheap prices.

But besides these tactical aspects, which are no doubt being utilized, there’s a inescapable technological reality that obviously efficiency of AI will improve, and the most efficient designs would seem to rise to the top. This utilization of and guiding of inevitable historical trends for their own advantage is a very Chinese communist dialectical materialist approach to take, and I think we can expect to see more of these types of ‘surprising’ moves by entities out of China in the decades ahead as these kind of competitions heat up. The Chinese have a very deep and a very different ideological background that would justify these types of moves as making perfect sense to them, although they simultaneously appear as nonsensical to people from other backgrounds.
True, but I have a fairly positive opinion of the EPA, FDA, CDC, IRS, FTC, and a neutral opinion on the FCC, DOT and others. The DOD and DOJ are hard to have an opinion about, partly as they're so much a reflection of what the President wants, partly because they have huge internal constraints, logistical and legal respectively.

I do not subscribe to the view that agencies are just running around doing their own thing without much regard to who's in the White House.
I agree 100%. I could only see it in the last year or two: Instagram allows people to maintain high school popularity in adult life. Before Insta, those people faded into oblivion because there was no global platform to amplify their good looks or likeable personality. (There were still popular, but in much smaller social circles.) After Insta, "high school popular" people can maintain it indefinitely.
