One example is with databases. In the olden days, if you needed performance, you bought a big Oracle server, and that was that. If you needed more performance, you just bought a bigger one. Without revisiting the database from first principles, we'd still be using acid-compliant relational SQL databases for everything. By starting from first principles and asking what the database software is for, and considering a changed hardware landscape aka the cloud, among other factors, we now have other types of databases which are more appropriate for different kinds of workloads. Key-Value stores, document stores, Wide column stores, Graph databases, time-series databases, NewSQL databases, vector databases; all of those are an example of first-principles rethinking of the database, and being willing to throw out the rules and ACID compliance in favor of what's actually necessary for a given workload instead of continuing on with existing conventions.

Curious question.
> How is the response to Oct 7 a defensive action? Using block sized bombs to take out one terrorist minutes after shooting a missile and has already left the scene when smaller munitions from drones can do the job is defensive? The military threat of Hama' s is a few RPGs that have barely injured anyone since the war started.

You're minimizing Hamas's rocket fire on Israel (which weren't RPGs) because it "barely injured anyone". And that part is true, but you're misunderstanding the costs here. In the weeks after October 7th, Israel was effectively shut down. There were sirens that forced the majority of Israelis into safe rooms 5, 6 times a day. Schools couldn't open, workplaces could barely function.

And of course, the reason these rockets "didn't hurt anyone" is because of millions spent shooting them down.

Now I don't know which of Israel's actions are "justified", if any. And I don't know what is "morally correct response" to a foreign territory ruled by a terrorist organization effectively shutting down your country. But I don't think you can simply dismiss this. It's a real problem.

How many times would you be willing to run into a safe room with your terrified children, before you say "well we need to put a stop to this?".

> All Hamas wanted from the beginning to release hostages was for Israel to do the same.

All Hamas wanted was to invade Israel, shoot massive rounds of rockets at it for weeks, and for Israel to not respond because they took hostages. Had Israel not responded, they would've repeated this again and again. It's also very possible that Hezbollah, whom we now know had massive preparations underway for a similar invasion of Israel, would've carried out that plan and invaded Israel, leading to far more death for everyone.

(btw, if your implication is that the Palestinian prisoners released today are "hostages" in the same sense as the Israeli hostages in Gaza, then I have to disagree with you.)

As someone who has started a company that I grew to over 350 people, I’d like to understand how you’d propose solving a problem we faced without ever discussing race, gender or diversity in the context of hiring.

The issue I faced is that monoculture in teams becomes increasingly self reinforcing over time to the point that it can be difficult to reverse, and then becomes problematic for hiring and retaining the best talent.

Two concrete examples here: An engineering team that was overwhelmingly men, and where we had difficulty retaining extremely talented women engineers because despite everyone’s best efforts they didn’t feel comfortable on the team. And an identical problem on our finance team, except in this case we lost a very talented man who didn’t feel comfortable in a team exclusively made up of women. In many cases, as you continue to scale the company and team, it can become more difficult over time to attract the top talent who often even self select out of the hiring process.

Putting yourself in my shoes, how would you solve for this?

What would a superior control approach be? It's not clear to me how to get an LLM to be an LLM if you're not doing stochastic next token prediction. Given that, the model itself is going to know best how to traverse its own concept space. The R1 chain of thought training encourages and develops exactly that capability. Still, you want that chain of thought to terminate and not navel gaze endlessly.

So how to externally prod it to think more when it does terminate? Replacing thought termination with a linguistic signifier of continued reasoning plus novel realization seems like a charmingly simple, principled, and general approach to continue to traverse concept space.

There are also different styles of teaching and learning. Karpathy always like to start from first principles and increment the building blocks.

Whereas for example Jeremy Howard's style resonates a lot more with how I enjoy learning, very much a "let's build it" and then tinker around to gain intuition on how things inside the box are working.

I see the benefit in both approaches and perhaps Karpathy is more methodical and robust. But I just find Howard's top-down style a lot easier to stay motivated with when I am learning on my own time.
Why Banks May Be Hoping You're Not Paying Attention
From an engineering perspective, this is stupid, although not quite as bad as "casting votes on the blockchain."

You want a tamper-proof record? We can make something orders of magnitude better in almost every way [0] with a regular distributed database! There's a predefined closed set of member-nodes, variously controlled by the 50 different US state governments, a handful of federal agencies, and maybe even few reputable private organizations if you really want to.

This gives you 95% of the benefits, 5% of the drawbacks. Modifying the records would require a ridiculously large conspiracy, and the result wouldn't even be secret. Modifying it secretly would require such a total takeover that if that happens your country has much bigger problems.

In either case, remember that there are no assurances the data being appended is actually true in the first place, only that someone didn't change or delete it later. [1]

That is perhaps the most insidious property of all when it comes to microplastics--it's incredibly difficult to work that out.

We don't have control groups, they're found in virtually every complex organism on Earth, including (best we can tell) all humans, so we can't form a control group.
We've only recently really started to notice, care, or study them, so we don't have strong historical data to compare against.
We don't have many isolated populations (especially of large enough size) where microplastic bioaccumulation is the only major difference in how their lives have changed in biologically relevant ways over the decades, so we can't effectively isolate the effects of microplastics from other confounding factors.

So you have these things that basically became completely ubiquitous--an unavoidable fact of not just human life, but all complex life on Earth--before anyone realized, with several other major global factors shifting concurrently. The end result is that, by the tools and methods with which we perform science, it's nearly impossible to study their exact effects. Maybe they're a slow-burning apocalypse subtly disrupting the mechanisms of life at their most fundamental levels and only getting worse with time, or maybe they do nothing or next to nothing like having a glass of sherry with your Sunday brunch once a week, or maybe they're somewhere in that vast, murky expanse in between the two extremes. Hell, there might even be a net benefit somehow. We just plain don't know, and don't know how we could know, so speculation is just about all we've got at present, and without knowing it's really hard to say if the messaging and literature surrounding the subject is aggressively over-alarmist or recklessly under-alarmist. The best we've really got is the simple fact that we notice them now, and thus have the chance to pay close attention, part of which is regularly taking basic measurements like these to try and correlate trends.

About all we do know is that they weren't here before, and "before" encompasses 99.9999% of all life that we know to have ever existed, so it's definitely weird and maybe probably bad.

There's definitely criticism to be had with the broader state of public health and science communication that harm, or at least the understanding that "we have literally no idea what the broader implications of this are but they're maybe probably not good", are considered to be implicit, either due to fallacious appeal to nature or the simple fact that alarmist headlines catch more attention, generating more traffic and revenue, and thus acceptance rates and grant money downstream. Which is, I think, the real core of the issue.
Well we're finding out right now aren't we. Funny enough the guy who had such the beautiful vision that humanity was meant for the stars is at the center of disproving his life's work and cementing that were doomed for domestic squabbles until the end.

> AI, especially accelerating AI, is bad news for anyone who needs to work for a living. It's not going to lead to a Star Trek fantasy. It means an eventual phase change for the economy that consigns us (and most consumer product companies) to wither and fade away.

How would that work? If there are no consumers then why even bother producing? If the cost of labor and capital trends towards zero then the natural consequence is incredible deflation. If the producers refuse to lower their prices then they either don’t participate in the market (which also means their production is pointless) or ensure some other way that the consumers can buy their products.

Our society isn’t really geared for handling double digit deflation so something does need to change if we really are accelerating exponentially.

I disagree.

Imo this is mostly true of running and bodybuilding... where the average person is most likely to encounter "programming."

A "gotcha" with minimum dose is that you need to precisely define the goal.

"Minimum effective" to build muscle or cardio might not be sufficient to build "habits" or whatnot.

A short, daily warmup might be the minimum effective dose for habit building.

Physiologically, 20 minutes every 10th day training heavy deadlifting... will be effective.

But this will probably be below effective does for habit forming, and other psychological/behavioral changes.
This is ignorance at its worst.

Smallholder farms across Africa are quite productive if you measure inputs (labor, energy, capital, fertilizer, water, land use) against outputs (calories, nutrition). They are certainly comparable with industrialized agriculture (large-scale monoculture) that is often incredibly wasteful (except when it comes to paying their laborers a living wage).

"Modern farming practices" mostly translates to "use a tremendous amount of energy and really bad wages to produce a respectable surplus in calories and large profits for a few actors within the supply chain".

And for the last 150 years or so no "starvation" anywhere in the world has been due to a lack of calories that could have reasonably been made available for the people starving. In 100% of cases lack of food is due to it not being made available by choice, i.e. because nobody is willing to pay for it, or it is actively withheld in war, etc.

> _fundamentally_ don’t understand how deep learning systems works.

It's like saying we don't understand how quantum chromodynamics works. Very few people do, and it's the kind of knowledge not easily distilled for the masses in an easily digestible in a popsci way.

Look into how older CNNs work -- we have very good visual/accesible/popsci materials on how they work.

I'm sure we'll have that for LLM but it's not worth it to the people who can produce that kind of material to produce it now when the field is moving so rapidly, those people's time is much better used in improving the LLMs.

The kind of progress being made leads me to believe there absolutely ARE people who absolutely know how the LLMs work and they're not just a bunch of monkeys randomly throwing things at GPUs and seeing what sticks.
> you also cannot not see how what Israel did in Gaza, and has been doing for years with Palestinian, is not genocide

In what way is "what Israel has done for years" genocide, if we're not including the response to October 7th?

> mass killing of civilian (it is estimated, by many source, that roughly 45000 Palestinian died, of which at least ~80% where civilian) ...

Every civilian death is tragic. But if civilians aren't targeted, but are killed as part of other military actions, then it is the unfortunate and terrible reality of war. Unless you consider every war genocide, this doesn't show that it was a genocide. (I'm not sure your 80% number if anywhere near accurate, btw.)

> If you accept the Shoah, the Armenian genocide, the genocide of the tutsis, ... You cannot logically not see this as a Palestinian genocide.

Let's make clear the difference. In the Shoah (Holocaust), Jews were rounded up, sent to concentration camps, then killed by various means. They were not a hostile armed group, not in a territory that was controlled by militants, or anything like that. They were literally civilians that were rounded up and killed.

None of that applies in Gaza. Civilians are not rounded up and killed. They are killed as terrible, horrible collateral damage while attempting to kill militants. If the militants, who are their current government, were to put down their arms - the war would be over immediately.

Also - since the Holocaust, the Jewish population still hasn't recovered its numbers. The Gazan population has only increased. This isn't proof of anything (it can be an attempted genocide even with a low count of dead), but you're comparing ~30k civilian deaths to 6 million Jewish deaths in the Holocaust.

> Eh. Pretty much everyone called what happened in Gaza an attempt at genocide, including many Israeli scholar.

Many people have called it a genocide. Many people called it a genocide two days into the war, and some have been saying Israel is committing genocide for years, which makes you think it's something they think without Israel's actual actions since October 7th having any relevance to it.

But by no means "pretty much everyone" calls it a Genocide. What determines whether something is a genocide is not a show of hands of a select group of organizations.

The mobile hotspot thing... I have to do that to do anything involving Okta.

For some frustrating reason my IPv4 address, which I pay extra to my ISP to have, has been blocklisted by Okta. A login flow failure in one of the apps work uses triggered my address getting banned indefinitely is my best guess. My works Okta admins don't really understand how to unblock me on their Okta tenancy, and Okta support just directs me back to my local admins (even though it's any okta-using org I'm banned from logging into).

I get that misuse/abuse detection has to do its thing but it's so frustrating when there's basically zero way of a legitimate user from an IP of undoing a ban. My only recourse is to do all my using of okta from another IP.... If I was a legit spammer I wouldn't think twice about switching to another IP from my big pool, probably.
