I have an image of 10,000 monkeys + typewriter + time = Shakespeare... Of course, these typed pages would engender a paper shortage.
So the same 10,000 LLM's will create a similar amount of 'monkeyware' - I can see monkey testers roaming through this chaff for useable gems to be incorporated into a structure operated by humans (our current coder base) to engineer into complex packages?.
Will this employ the human crews and allow a greater level of productivity? Look at Win11 = a huge mass full of flaws/errors (found daily).
In general increased productivity has worked to increase GDP - will this continue? or will we be over run by smarter monkeys?

Yeah I know you claimed to solve it. I’m saying I don’t believe you and I think you’re a liar. There’s various reasons why the biggest one is that you think the solution is “generalizable” from counting islands (it’s not).

That’s not the point though. The point is I have metrics on this. Roughly 50 interviews only one guy got it. So you make the claim the solution is generalize-able well then prove your claim then. I have metrics that support my claim. Where’s yours?
Well that would depend on the facts of a particular case. If a patient presents at the ER with a brain tumor which is causing severe symptoms such as unstable vital signs then under EMTALA the hospital might be legally required to remove the tumor regardless of the patient's ability to pay.
In this case though, the claim should have been denied because it was filed incorrectly.

Is there also a reason the surgeon themselves needs to get on the phone with insurance? Isn't that what the rest of the staff is for?
"Run any DOS game via JS-DOS, a JS wrapper of DOSBox, render to small offscreen canvas, present frame in Google Sheets" is more correct but it makes a less catchy title.
Yes, of course, there is a asymmetry. The shape and the material, of course. Another example is that while sperm is constantly produced, ova are all there since birth.

But this part:

> The cells which divided then, are the same cells as now

Seems quite wrong. Ova of one woman obviously contains part her DNA, not her mother's unchanged.

Now, I didn't know about the mitochondria part, interesting, thanks for teaching me!
>Android users should be able to preview their app using the Expo Go App

Can't get the QR Code to scan on my Pixel 8 in Expo Go. Camera just sits there staring at it. Could be unique to my phone not sure if working for others.

Got it to use an API I'm working with that requires JSONP to get around CORS. But this causes error to show about using browser APIS. Thought I could insert platform checks to determine web vs / android and whether to use JSON/JSONP but it still wants to remove any logic referring to web. Just FYI about the impedance mismatch of testing in browser assuming native environment.
>For tasks that tend to scale well with increased die area, which is often the case for GPUs as they're already focused on massively parallel tasks so laying down more parallel units is a realistic option, running a larger die at lower clocks is often notably more efficient in terms of performance per unit power.

I should've considered this, I have an RTX A5000. It's a gigantic GA102 die (3090, 3080) that's underclocked to 230W, putting it at roughly 3070 throughput. That's ~15% less performance than a 3090 for a ~35% power reduction. Absolutely nonlinear savings there. Though some of that may have to do with power savings using GDDR6 over GDDR6X.

(I should mention that relative performance estimates are all over the place, by some metrics the A5000 is ~3070, by others it's ~3080.)
Perhaps a requirement left unsaid by OP, but something reasonably priced. $2500 is a bit rich for what it would be used for.
Are you referring to NetApp?
Unfortunately they started building Fleet before Compose Multiplatform was ready, so now they support three UI technologies. Granted, Fleet uses the same rendering base as Compose (Skiko), but that's got to be a dead end ultimately.
That's certainly plausible... however, UHC is not saying "the doctor got it wrong, it was her receptionist's fault". They are sending legal threats - "take this speech down or we'll sue you for defamation". This is not a company trying to take their name out of the mud, this is a company trying to cut off their critics' tongues, because the critique is hurting the stock price.
And yet FSD and even lane assist are going to be safer than the driver near you who is scrolling and typing away on their smartphone

Don’t mistake my post as a defense of FSD or Tesla. They’ve been lying about their capabilities for what feels like a decade.

I don’t want to see FSD and human drivers share a road. I want all cars to be meshed and communicating their intents with vehicles around them to avoid collisions. We will never see that in our lifetime

It was 2024, it should not hinge on that at all. We have asynchronous communications, a timestamped email should be all the proof required.

This will still fail I think, for the same reason contracting did.

The churn is real and any offshoring hotbed ends up with a lot of competing between big companies for talent which then drives the prices up and motivates people to jump companies more.
I've owned a Model 3 for years now, and FSD is scary as hell. We haven't paid for it -- and we won't -- but every time we get a free trial of it (mostly recently this past Fall), I give it a whirl, and I end up turning it off. Why? Because it does weird shit like slow down at an intersection with a green light. I don't feel like I can trust it, at all, and it makes me more anxious than just using standard auto-steer and cruise control (which still ghost breaks sometimes). I don't get why anyone uses FSD.
Indeed, I didn't like the dishonesty there. There's probably many situations where you're absolutely right. It's just that my hatred for this industry is too strong to grant them any quarter even when they're technically in the right.

Because the fact is true that even though they probably didn't demand to speak to the surgeon immediately, there's a reason the staff deemed it worth pulling her from surgery, and it's because if she didn't get to talk to the caller right now when they were on the phone, it could be any number of days before the matter could be resolved, and the hospital may not be willing to proceed if the insurance company is going to deny the claim, since that could saddle the patient with an unexpected $10,000 bill. In this way, our shitty system, designed on purpose by companies like UHC, forced most of this to happen.
I feel like Rust just isn’t stable or mature enough as a language for moving Linux towards it to make sense.

How about we just do nothing and people write syntactically-correct SQL instead of demanding everyone and everything else change? I'm sorry, is this really the most important impediment to software development right now? Some guy's beef with the SQL parser?

You mean create a root CA, install it as a trusted CA on _every single_ client that will interact with the client, manage revocations (whole thing in itself), and handle all the other management that goes along with being an authority (local or otherwise, it makes little difference).
I agree it’s no easy task. It seems to me though, as an outside observer, that writing virtually no enforced policy is the lazy way to go about it. Write a policy, stick to your guns, have a procedure for changing it if you get it wrong.
> their existing enhanced devs using AI will suffice enough to their coding related needs.

Not my experience. I spend as much time reading through and replacing wrong AI generated code as I do writing my own code, so it's really wasting my time more often than helping. It's really hit or miss, and about the only thing the AI gets right most often is writing console.log statements based on the variable I've just assigned, and that isn't really "coding". And even then it gets it right only about 75% of the time. Sure, that saves me some time, but I'm not seeing the supposed acceleration AI is hyped as giving.

All of the job of for-profit health insurance companies is to make money for their investors. Everything else they do works towards that goal.

Now all of the job of any for-profit company is to make money for their investors, that in and of itself is not a problem. The problem is that specifically, for health insurance companies, they make money by denying people health care. They have no incentive to pay claims beyond the minimum necessary.

We have public health care too and it isn't perfect but they don't lie to our faces when telling us why they won't cover something.
The modern language landscape is backing away from checked exceptions. Funnily enough Kotlin eschewed them as well, converting checked to unchecked exceptions on the JVM.
Difference here being that you actually learned the information about Ruby on Rails, whereas the modern programmer doesn't learn anything. They are but a clipboard-like vessel that passes information from an LLM onto a text editor, rarely ever actually reading and understanding the code. And if something doesn't work, they don't debug the code, they debug the LLM for not getting it right. The actual knowledge here never gets stored in the brain, making any future learning or evolving impossible.

I've had to work with developers that are over dependent on LLM's, one didn't even know how to undo code, they had to ask an LLM to undo. Almost as if the person is a zombie or something. It's scary to witness. And as soon as you ask them to explain their rationale for the solution they came up with - dead silence. They can't, because they never actually _thought_.
The gap between experience, domain knowledge, and legacy knowledge. If you've ever worked in a large org that has been running for a few years these can be significant gaps and they are usually filled by having access to someone in the office to answer questions.
Well as mitchelist points out we don’t even know what claims were made. The third paragraph of this article reads

> On Jan. 7, a plastic surgeon named Elisabeth Potter posted a video of herself on Instagram claiming that UnitedHealthcare called her mid-surgery and asked her to justify an in-patient stay for a woman who has breast cancer and needed a surgical procedure to treat it. Potter then claimed that the insurer denied the patient an overnight stay and threatened her with legal action for her posts.

Are these claims? What does “surgical procedure” mean? In what way is she using the word “denied”? It says UHC threatened her with legal action for her posts but, as mitchelist has surmised, we don’t know what she said or if she said anything at all.

While the article articulates exactly what the surgeon said about UHC and links directly to her video of her saying it [1]… does it? Who knows what’s going on? I’d write more here but I am using speech to text because my dominant hand is stuck inside a jar of honey and my wife’s cries of “stop making a fist” (whatever that means) are getting picked up by my microphone.

I actually talked to some of the Tor folks about this, and it seems like it mostly boils down to their chosen trust model and the fact that anyone can be a Tor node.

Most of the two-hop designs have fixed hops, and admittedly they can't beat Tor w/re privacy by any means. The fixed hops can however offer better reliability and latency.

Capsaicin binds to TRPV1 receptors, which are mammal-specific. Other animals have different proteins in this role and birds in particular are not sensitive to it. Also TVRP1 is only triggered by temperatures over 43°C, lower temperatures are sensed by other proteins.

Capsaicin isn’t just effective on mammals, it also has an effect on some fungi and insects, though mostly through metabolic disruption.

Reasoning is not understood even among humans. We only know the black box definition in the sense that whatever we are doing it is reasoning.

If an LLM arrives at the same output a human does given input and the output is sufficiently low probability to happen by random chance or association then it fits the term reasoning insofar as the maximum extent in which we understand it.

Given that we don't know what's going on the best bar is simply my matching input and output and making sure it's not using memory or pattern matching or random chance. There are MANY prompts that meet this criteria.

Your thoughts and claims are to be honest just flat out wrong. It’s just made up because not only do you know what the model is doing internally you don’t even know what you or any other human is doing. Nobody knows. So I don’t know why you think your claims have any merit. They don’t and neither do you.

Well, we aren't yet "in it", but there's a lot of fun to be had with VR (and especially AR) activities. For example, I love how Eleven Table Tennis allows me to play ping pong with another person online, such that the table and their avatar appear to be in my living room. I don't know if this is "the future", but I'm pretty confident that these sorts of interactions will get more and more common, and I think that Meta is well positioned to take advantage of this.

My big vision for this space is the integration of GenAI for creating 3d objects and full spaces in realtime, allowing the equivalent of The Magic School Bus, where a teacher could guide students on a virtual experience that is fully responsive and adjustable on the fly based on student questions. Similarly, playing D&D in such a virtual space could be amazing.

I'm pretty sure I've seen this pattern of "Stocks (tumble|gain) as X happened" but then 2 hours later if the stocks go in the other direction, there is a new headline "Stocks (tumble|gain) as X happened" where X remains the same, but tumble|gain got swapped.

I think I originally read that this happens in a book somewhere, then observed and noticed yeah that seems to be the norm. Not surprised it seems to be same thing in these adjacent metric % headlines where there's no proper thought if there exists a causal link between X and Y.

I think my brain has learned to recognize the pattern "Something rises X% as Thing Happened" and it reminds me of that cheeky quote about how every headline that is in the form of a question is, ... uh I forgot the full quote. But feels like almost this could have some kind of cheeky rule of its own, about how no causal link ever exists in a headline like this.

The SQL standards committee is having none of it. I can tell you that just from this one sentence.

And, more seriously, there isn't really such a thing as a common-sense proposal with SQL. The grammar is so warped after all these years that there isn't a path to consistency and the broken attempt at English syntax has rendered it nearly incomprehensible for both human and machine parsing. Any change to anything could have bizarre flow on effects.

I'd love to see trailing commas added to SELECT though. Given the mess it isn't possible to make the situation worse and the end of the list being special can be infuriating.

Ah yes, the compensating behavior theory all over again. Replace "seat belts" with "driver assist"

> This paper investigates the effects of mandatory seat belt laws on driver
behavior and traffic fatalities. Using a unique panel data set on seat belt usage
rates in all U.S. jurisdictions, we analyze how such laws, by influencing seat
belt use, affect traffic fatalities. Controlling for the endogeneity of seat belt
usage, we find that it decreases overall traffic fatalities. The magnitude of this
effect, however, is significantly smaller than the estimate used by the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Testing the compensating behavior
theory, which suggests that seat belt use also has an adverse effect on fatalities
by encouraging careless driving, we find that this theory is not supported by
the data. Finally, we identify factors, especially the type of enforcement used,
that make seat belt laws more effective in increasing seat belt usage.
