We all know that's b.s. after the leaked audio recordings from TikTok meetings describing how US user data is still accessed from China.

> "Everything is seen in China," said a member of TikTok’s Trust and Safety department in a September 2021 meeting. In another September meeting, a director referred to one Beijing-based engineer as a "Master Admin" who "has access to everything."

The idea that Oracle can prevent Chinese employees from accessing data when the servers are running code written by ByteDance on bare metal and the US team literally reports to the Chinese one is, frankly, ridiculous.

Has anyone actually got this llama stuff to be usable on even moderate hardware? I find it just crashes because it doesn't find enough RAM. I've got 2G of VRAM on an AMD graphics card and 16G of system RAM and that doesn't seem to be enough. The impression I got from reading up was that it worked for most Apple stuff because the memory is unified and other than that, you need very expensive Nvidia GPUs with lots of VRAM. Are there any affordable options?
Thanks for being fair-minded and giving credit where credit is due. I'm so tired of reading comments trivializing Singapore's achievements and mischaracterising it as a country.

> it's because other countries helped them

Also, this is not true. Singapore never received any handouts, save a meagre sum from Japan as compensation for occupying Singapore during World War 2. Singapore's first Prime Minister, Lee Kuan Yew, understood that such monetary gifts always came with strings attached, and that accepting them would increase Singapore's vulnerability to the caprices of its benefactors. He was adamant to avoid having Singapore held hostage.
Stories like this and Andres Freund who caught a supply chain attack before it was deployed to practically all linux servers help me realize that, sometimes, all it takes is for a decent person doing decent things at the right time to help a lot of people avoid a lot of suffering.

These security vulnerabilities, if exploited, could cause massive suffering. But the people who caught them modestly corrected the issue by exercising their competence and decency.

Think correctly even if it may seem inconvenient, and thinking correctly becomes an ingrained habit. And then, a lot fewer bugs.

That's the analogy to the author's story about their exam.

The particular startup in the article was developing tech to replace regular aircraft engines with those running on Hydrogen. I don't think any lessor would appreciate those extensive modifications on their aircraft.

I'd be interested to know what massive infusions during zIrp you're talking about, I'm not familiar with any (r&d stuff sure).

the IRA would have been a massive infusion, but it passed in '22, after the rate hikes (its how/why it got its dumb name). Even still most of its effects were convoluted tax credits that are difficult to model investment risk on right now (putting it nicely).
Thanks, I appreciate the kind words! I've personally always associated product people with people that create something, whatever that might be. But you're right most commonly it's used for product managers. In this case i just thought it would be the best fit.

That's a great point, I'll add a toggle for the scrolling text in the settings, should be live in a little bit.

It feels like this is aimed more at intermediary programmers (and seniors with careless attitudes).

A lot of them have this bizarre idea that since bugs will happen anyway, there's nothing we can do to avoid them. Then they come up with some bad architecture, or poorly-thought-out convention, or use a problematic library, which makes it easier for logic bugs to happen later, when someone else changes a convention elsewhere that interacted with it.

There often is a way (usually multiple ways) to architect software to avoid bugs. What Rust does to memory bugs and Haskell does to state bugs, can often be done manually in other languages, for whole categories of logic bugs, by being careful with your conventions and making sure they are easy to follow correctly.

I.e. software can be designed to avoid bugs. That requires some thought many people don't care to put in.
Great list, way different than most of the comments on this thread. I don't see a single one I disagree with. I'd ask though, which IDE do you think is better than Xcode and in what way? My only argument I'd have against this list is it's kind of par for the course for an app of Xcode's age and complexity, e.g., you'd for sure get a similar list from Premiere or After Effects users, or any of the long-standing 3D packages (although, for a counterpoint, Logic Pro and Final Cut Pro users seem way happier, so it's at least theoretically possible to make complex, long-standing applications without these issues).

I purposesly bought the last Subaru without Carplay/Android Auto for this reason - I could upgrade my head unit but I like the slightly more oldschool one.

The touchscreen is slow to respond and has few options and the only way to really connect a phone is bluetooth or 3.5mm . It really just does music and calls. However long term I was a lot more confident in phones supporting backwards compatiblity for bluetooth vs Subaru keeping carplay/android auto up to date - and I plan to keep this thing for a very long time
The potential of x-Models (x=ll, transformer, tts, etc), which are not AI, to perfect the flooding of social media with bullshit to increase the sales of drop-shipped garbage to hundreds of millions of people is so great that there is a near-infinite stream of money available to be spent on useless shit like this.

Talking to an x-Model (still not AI), just like talking to a human, has never been, is not now, and will never be faster than looking at an information-dense table of data.

x-Models (will never be AI) will eat the world though, long after the dream of talking to a computer to reserve a table has died, because they are so good at flooding social media with bullshit to facilitate the sales of drop-shipped garbage to hundreds of millions of people.

That being said, it is highly likely that is an extremely large group of people who are so braindead that they need a robot to click through TripAdvisor links for them to create a boring, sterile, assembly-line one-day tour of Rome.

Whether or not those people have enough money to be extracted from them to make running such a service profitable remains to be seen.
Amazon may have done so as a gesture to avoid antitrust scrutiny from the new administration, but I know from friends there that they are still subject to a lot of pressure to meet DEI targets behind closed doors.

It’s illegal but that’s why they do all this only verbally, to avoid litigation.

I think that's referenced in the 1983 Black Sabbath song "Trashed".

It's like watching the last couple seasons of Mythbusters. There's no doubt that they are having a grand time of it.

My subaru has a fairly mediocre touchscreen and interface but almost all of the things I actually use are manual controls. I usually turn the touchscreen off first thing when I get in the car (two button presses).

A good notion for value is that of option value. Not a lot of product managers understand this notion very well. Engineers tend to intuitively get this but they can't articulate it. You do work now to give you the option to do something later. Very simple really. PMs really don't get this. All this refactoring, over engineering, and whatever you want to call it. They'd prefer you to not do any of it. But of course engineers understand that those things can pay back later.

Option value is a notion that Don Reinertsen promotes in his Lean 2.0 notion (google that and his name, mandatory stuff for wannabe PMs IMHO). Very simply put, he draws an analogy with stock options. They give you an option in the future to get some value. But there's a chance they'll be worthless and that you lose your money. The point is that the payoff can be much larger than the value loss. That's why they are popular tools for stock traders. There's a non linear relation loss-profit function. Which means you only need a few of your options to convert to profit to finance all of them. VC capital is based on this notion as well. Most startups are a write off. But a handful turn into unicorns and pay for the rest.

In product management, option value is the notion that some idea might be worthless but could end up being worth a lot. Doing a lot of work on something that's just not worth a lot is probably wrong. Doing a little bit of work on something that might have a huge payoff is probably smart. Even if it's slightly risky or uncertain. Doing a lot of work on a lot of things that might be valuable like that at the cost of stuff that you actually should be doing is probably not optimal and very risky. But you should be taking some calculated risks at least part of the time just in case. Worst case you lose some time. Best case you create a lot of value in a way that you never planned to. Balancing risks is your job as a PM.

The point here is that if you only do planned things and don't even entertain doing things that might be valuable outside of that scope, you are probably destroying a lot of value and you are placing a risky bet on your plan instead. If the plan is wrong, you might lose everything.

Which is one of Reinertsen's key arguments against the original lean movement. You throw out the baby with the bath water if you do that. Bad idea for startups because you now make a risky bet on your plan being correct. Which of course it often isn't in startups. Pivoting is the notion of being able to turn a bad plan around. That gets easier if you invested in some option value that gives you the option to do so. A lot of unicorns emerged out of the ashes of failed startups.

Big organizations are notorious for being risk averse and not having the internal capability to innovate even after they've identified the need to do so. As soon as management chains get involved, that's what happens.
I'm curious which exact model/year you had and how you got stuck.

In a compiled language, this can be another step before the compiling and linking.
>> it looks like the chainring is able to spin independently of the pedals, as if they moved the freewheel from the rear hub to the bottom bracket

IMHO that would be a safety hazard if they removed it from the rear hub. Without that, the chain will always be moving when the bike is moving. If your pants or anything else gets caught in there it ain't stopping.

Leaving it in the back AND putting it in the front as well is probably viable if a bit redundant.

I think it's less a problem of cost for the average person and more a problem of setting the market price for them at a fraction of the current one. This has such a deflationary impact that it's unlikely captured or even conceivable by the current economic models.

There's a problem of "target fixation" about the capabilities and it captures most conversation, when in fact most public focus should be on public policy and ensuring this has the impact that the society wants.

IMO whether things are going to be good or bad depends on having a shared understanding, thinking, discussion and decisions around what's going to happen next.

> seem to be very one dimensional in terms of measuring intelligence.

I would argue that they DON'T measure intelligence, rather they test knowledge.

Frustratingly, I think we have a society greatly focused on knowledge based testing due to its correlation with intelligence and that it is exponentially easier to test knowledge. But this is easy to hack. Being in CS it feels very odd since we all know a great way to get hired is to study leetcode questions. That is, study to the test.

This is critical to recognize this difference as what we know for certain is that LLMs and other ML systems are analogous to a database with a human language interface[0]. What we DO NOT KNOW is if these systems are intelligent. That is, that they can use their exploit their knowledge to unfamiliar territories. Then there's the whole question of wisdom...

This stuff is highly abstract and we can get fuzzy so it is natural to go for the simple thing but we need to graduate. Don't avoid the tough questions, dig in. As we advance in any study nuance takes over. This should be obvious. If we approximate things, to improve we need to tackle higher order terms, and that almost always becomes exponentially more difficult with each step.

And come on, is this benchmark not obvious bait? Calling it "humanity's last exam" is extremely arrogant.

Definitions:

Knowledge: Awareness of facts. The ability to recall information.

Intelligence: Ability to exploit knowledge to new settings. To be able to plan and reason.

(Definitions of intelligence are much more debated than knowledge but what is far less controversial is that intelligence is about the way one uses knowledge. These two are distinct. This is fairly well agreed upon throughout history and within modern literature around psychology and cognitive science.)

Wisdom: The efficient use of one's knowledge

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knowledge
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligence
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wisdom

There is a implicit hierarchy here[1] where knowledge is something to be had, intelligence is the utilization of that, and wisdom is about efficiency. There's a decent analogy to this hierarchy. Knowledge is like having a tool. Intelligence is like using it, a craftsman[2]. Wisdom is akin to being a master craftsman.

[0] I mean that they fit the data. A database is discrete, but these curve fit, so that will be a continuous function (in most cases). Thus it won't be exact retrieval nor does this mean information can't be interpolated. But that gets to be a deeper and much more complex conversation that I think we like to admit.

[1] This is clearly multi-dimensional. You can organize hierarchies in multiple ways, I'm not suggesting this is the only way or "the right way"

[2] What is argued is what is a sufficient threshold. An armchair expert might know how to use a lathe because they read about its usage but does that mean they can use it? What about a novice who you can show something to and they can repeat it? Monkey see monkey do style. An apprentice? A craftsman? There's a lot of gray area between being able to recall something from a book and being a wizard (gray beard).

I'm reminded of Kurt Vonnegut's famous story about buying postage stamps: https://www.insidehook.com/wellness/kurt-vonnegut-advice

"I stamp the envelope and mail it in a mailbox in front of the post office, and I go home. And I’ve had a hell of a good time. And I tell you, we are here on Earth to fart around, and don’t let anybody tell you any different...How beautiful it is to get up and go do something."
You’re making up the assumptions of nepotism. Everyone hires from their network or their employees’ networks. What do you think referral programs are, which are basically at every company? If you’ve worked with someone before and had a positive experience, they’re a much better bet than other candidates. Even if candidates are mostly white locally, the person doing the hiring may have past experiences where their network looks more like wherever they worked previously. That doesn’t mean they’re doing anything discriminatory or nepotistic now - they may just be hiring qualified people from their network, like everyone does.

By the way, I haven’t personally seen or heard of any examples of Indians (or other races) hiring wives and family members. This is often alleged and yet I’ve never come across a real life example. I am not saying it doesn’t happen at all, but that if it does, it is probably very rare and no different than how often it can happen with any other group. What I often see is people claiming that Indians hiring Indians (regardless of familial relations) is nepotistic, and I think that’s an assumption without basis.
