"Suitable" depends on what the aim is. If this were a good faith effort to find "waste and fraud" then clearly not. But if the goal is to destroy the capacity of the government to place any restraints on enterprise (and in particular Musk's enterprises), and an assault on the rule of law in general, and the instantiation of a racist ideology, then he's ideal. The fact that they let him go in the first place was the surprising part as what he said was no worse than what many Trump appointees have done.

This type of application makes me a bit queasy, but given massive issues with access to healthcare I think this sort of use of LLMs is an inevitability. Is there anything that can be done to make it more robust?

Beyond the obvious issues with LLMs, confirmation bias seems like an especially big problem for a tool like this. It is seeing only the tests doctors ordered, only the notes doctors bothered to take, only the symptoms the patient thought were relevant, and so on.

Would it come to the same conclusions if plausible synthetic results for other tests were included? Could it reliably predict results of a removed test given its previous conclusion? Could it predict the next action (test, referral, prescription) given results of a test?

Is anyone working on this kind of adversarial approach to LLM outputs? Obviously LLMs are far from ideal for an application like this but could this type of probing for internal consistency improve the error rate and allow for some measure of confidence?

What about programs with such simple CLIs that they don’t have help?

How about non English speakers who might be inclined to type —ayuda or something?

In 2025 I think it should be more obvious that the shell is just running a program and programs have a variety of entry points and the same program can be distributed in different forms and that they might not all be self documenting.
- Number 1 thing is having ~2-3 plausible advisors that you can see yourself working with (by all means fall in love with just one, but keep some optionality)

- Most physics departments allow for 'rotations' during your 1st or 2nd year (while you are taking classes and studying for the qual). Check if the 2-3 plausible advisors will take you as a rotation student

- Check if the grad students are (relatively) happy, especially the 4th-5th years during your open house. Ask them how much help the are getting in career search (good departments take care of their senior grad students)

- I personally didn't care to optimize for locale very much. Don't regret it. PhD is a grind,
you won't have too much time to yourself... and with what you have, I think you can have a vibrant social life at almost any university

- There is some funding anxiety right now (NIH, but surely NSF is not far behind). I would make sure that the labs you are in are well funded. Stanford is better in this regard.

- I would max out your applications to GRFP, NDSEG or whatever the in-vogue PhD fellowships are. It increases your chances of getting into a competitive lab

- You didn't say theory or experiment? If experiment, find out if you are going to spend time in the fab, and make sure you check out the fab. Berkeley nanolab was a shockingly functional shithole (at least when i visited, and i know it caused misery to many friends)

TL;DR - Stanford if research fit is there.

Richard Arthur Assman got more than his 15 minutes of fame due to his name. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dick_Assman
A memorable occurrence in this happens in "Sense and Sensibility", Part III, Chapter XII, when Elinor Dashwood learns that the man she loved and believed had just married was in fact free:

“Is Mrs. Ferrars at Longstaple?”

“At Longstaple!” he replied, with an air of surprise. “No; my mother is in town.”

“I meant,” said Elinor, taking up some work from the table, “to enquire after Mrs. Edward Ferrars.”

She dared not look up; but her mother and Marianne both turned their eyes on him. He coloured, seemed perplexed, looked doubtingly, and, after some hesitation, said,—
“Perhaps you mean my brother: you mean Mrs.—Mrs. Robert Ferrars.”

I'd like to expand with some more details and developments since the post I saw here a few weeks ago about my Surface-Stable Fractal Dithering technique. (That post (not by me) was here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42808889)

I've since made it work also in color (RGB dithering and CMYK halftone) and demonstrated what it looks like in true 1-bit (or 3-bit for color) at low resolutions as well. See the linked demonstration video for a variety of styles/aesthetics it can be used for:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzjWBmhO_1E

The original explainer video is here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPqGaIMVuLs

And the repository is here:
https://github.com/runevision/Dither3D

Lots of people both here and elsewhere has speculated about various alterations or different use cases, etc. I'd like to point to this FAQ that have a lot of common topics covered. If you have questions, suggestions or similar, it would be a good idea to check that out first (after the explainer video):
https://github.com/runevision/Dither3D/discussions/12

Furthermore, lots of people have been inspired to make their own implementations, or related effects inspired by Surface Stable Fractal Dithering. I keeping a list of the ones I know about here:
https://github.com/runevision/Dither3D/discussions/14

For example, Aras Pranckevičius got a simplified version of the effect to work on Playdate. Since the Playdate does not have a GPU, the effect (along with 3D rasterization in general) is implemented fully CPU-based here.

I've been surprised and happy that the effect has gotten as much interest as it has, and I'm hoping we'll eventually see games released that use this technique.
You can prove that LLMs can reason by simply giving it a novel problem where no data exists and having it solve that problem

They scan a hyperdimensional problem space whose facetness and capacity a single human is unable to comprehend. But there potentially exist a slice that corresponds to a problem that is novel to a human. LLMs are completely alien to us both in capabilities and technicalities, so talking about whether they can reason makes as much sense as if you replaced “LLMs” with “rainforests” or “antarctica”.
yes, Antarctica is slightly complicated by the need to use a different coordinate system to get reasonable results.
Also "dic" just doesn't look like an English word - compare kick, lick, sick, tick, etc. There are English words ending in -ic but they tend to be longer, Latinate ones.

No, if it was for the bandwagon in social media, everybody would be forced to use Rust.

So, with the recent government advisories, the Ada tech is coming back to fill that opportunity.
Doug McIlroy: McCarthy Presents Lisp (2009)
The criticism of Unix shell coming from the authors of PowerShell and those who like it says something to the effect:

We want modern (and by that they mean C#-like) programming language in shell. We want user types, type checking, structured, modular code.

And they forget that the reason Unix shell is easy in some respects is precisely because it has none of that. Since everything is text, serialization is trivial. But serialization is vital if you need to work remotely between different shells.

Structure will require a lot more operations for composing and decomposing it in order to transmit messages. Equality and identity become a problem.

Custom types are similar to structure, but on top of it present a problem with serialization (somehow both shells need to have same type definitions, and what happens if they inevitably don't).

The problems above not being addressed... what you get is another "scripting" language, of which there are already dozens, with no special benefits when it comes to it being used as shell, but with some problems. Just not worth it and illustrates lack of research and understanding of the problem space on the part of the authors.

I've been considering an AI project for consuming a conda build recipe and digging into the codebase to extract extra info about the project and make it into a nix flake--which would be a bit more stable. I figure you could test for equivalence in a few ways and feed the outputs of that test back into the model. Hopefully there's enough context in the conda recipe, the project codebase, and whatever errors pop out to get some of them converted with minimal handholding.

Because regardless of what the cool kids are doing, important work is being done in conda, and usually by people whose expertise isn't software packaging.
I think the sort of desperate mailing works better when you reach out to execs and VPs, not PMs and managers. Some founders had well-known emails and it was common to hear stories about escalating (eg jeff@amazon). It’s a well documented technique that many people have had great success with.

I’m not an exec, but I work on a major product in a major company. A significant portion of Americans use my work. My corporation has a reputation for poor customer support ATM. If I started getting personal emails or phone calls, I’d contact corporate security or lawyers just out of fear and confusion. That said, I’d be peeved on behalf of my customers if that same treatment was applied to messages directed at our household-name-CEO.

I didn’t know English had a diminutive suffix (-kin). Is it used still in common English?

Sure.

Intel had profited tens to hundreds of millions of dollars from Minix 3. Minix replaced ThreadX (also used as the Raspberry Pi firmware) running on ARC RISC cores. Intel had to pay for both.

If Intel reinvested 0.01% of what it saved by taking Minix for free, Minix 3 would be a well-funded community project that could be making real progress.

It already runs much of the NetBSD userland. It needs stable working SMP and multithreading to compete with NetBSD itself. (Setting aside the portability.)

But Intel doesn't need that. And it doesn't need to pay. So it doesn't.

Second paragraph of the article:

> US District Judge Paul A. Engelmayer issued a preliminary injunction on Saturday to prohibit access, ordering Musk and his team to immediately destroy any copies of records.
Yup. It was common in the 1800's and early 1900's for immigrants to change their last name to become more "American", to assimilate better.

I don't believe this was a common thing to do upon arrival -- it was more like, when they wanted to open a business and be perceived as more American, more established, more trustworthy. It might not even be the immigrants themselves but their second-generation children, or even third generation.

If you visit a cemetery with lots of 1800's gravestones, it's pretty wild to see crazy diversity of last names from all over Europe, that we just don't have any more. Ellis Island didn't simplify or change anything. And which shows that in many of those cases, it was indeed the children who changed their name.

The Java tools predate the GNU convention (or at best were developed at the same time, unbeknownst to each other). Golang uses single-dash as well (but also accepts double-dash), as do PowerShell and Unix commands like find. In early Unix, there wasn’t a clear convention to use a dash for options at all (dd, tar, ps).
> Berkeley is the safety school for people who don't get into Stanford.

This is true for some undergrads, although there were plenty of people who got into both and chose Berkeley.

But it's definitely not true at the Graduate level. It just depends on the program. Some programs at Cal are better than at Stanford, and vice versa. But in make cases the two schools collaborate quite a bit. It's not unheard of for someone at Stanford to have a Cal professor as an advisor for example, or the other way around.

I was sick for close to two years. I had excellent doctors who cared and tried their best. There were days where I was literally lying in bed because I was in so much pain. Despite that, the worse pain by far was not knowing what was wrong with me. That took it's toll more than anything. If someone said killing a puppy was the cure I would have done it in a heart beat. It's not something you can ever really understand until you live it for days, weeks, months, years...

Their "Claude 3.5 Sonnet (New)" model from end of October 2024 is very disappointing and a major step backwards. It has a lot of bugs and this pseudo Chain-of-Thought that completely ruins any output. The guardrails have gotten so ridiculous that it refuses to translate text due to "copyright" or when the original text contains a "bad" word. Claude 3.5 Sonnet was one of the best models but now it gets beaten by DeepSeek-R1.

There's also some effective ways to use Threads for this if you are confined to one channel, especially on Discord where Threads hang tied to their channel and get useful names where the names can be things like books.

On Discord you can also experiment with making your "one channel" a Discussion Forum channel instead and then everything is discoverable threads. Some of the busier Discords that will only give you "one channel" for your group will often be amenable to letting that one channel be a Forum channel.
It might be added that Dominicans had the explicit calling to crown their preaching by leading virtuous lives marked by poverty. As an example of this, especially in the early days, Dominicans traveled a lot by foot as a form of austerity. This could certainly work with having a bit of a girth, but the full experience of 13th century Dominican life is hard to square with "morbid obesity" or being "physically grotesque". We also know that Aquinas was humble, spiritual and deeply motivated to join this new mendicant order specifically. He resisted all attempts of his noble family to steer him in other directions that would have been more prestigious in the eyes of the world. I also remember reading that Aquinas ate only once a day to devote himself more fully to his work (not sure where though).

You seem to misunderstand benefit corporations. They remain committed to profit and are just as subject to their board and officers as any other corporation.

There are sane investors that prefer investing in companies that adopt these corporate structures. Based on data, those investors see public benefit corporations as more profitable and resilient.

I wrote a mini OS for a realtime MSP430 application about 10 years ago. It included a non-preemptive multi-tasking scheduler with design limits to ensure that any task was completed within one millisecond. My timer frequency was 20kHz.

This was on a single-core micro-controller clocked at 25MHz, that required two clock cycles per instruction.

Most anything running Linux today, or even for the past few decades, is faster than my puny MSP430 was, so it makes sense to increase the Linux timer frequency from 250Hz.

You said your name to the civil servant, and they might "misspell" it. That is: it's recorded "correctly" somewhere (e.g. birth certificate) but somewhere along the line it becomes "wrong" (registering your child, getting new papers, etc.)

My surname is Tournoij, which I inherited from my father. him, me, and my brother have that surname: the entire rest of the family is Tournoy. Mistake during registration when he was born ("y" and "ij" are often pronounced identical in Dutch), and apparently it's nigh-impossible to correct afterwards.

As to the original of Tourno(y|ij), my guess is that it's several degrees of misspellings from Tournai, a place in French Belgium.
