I've recently thought that a killer bit of hardware would be a way to interact with an LLM by voice without other people thinking you're talking to them and saying "what?".

I really resonate with the "Acceptance" section. I came to a similar realization, that having strong negative emotions about the pain just made everything worse. Stress causes inflammation which doesn't help, and only hurts the situation.

As for actual strategies to manage emotions, I would strongly recommend reading books about REBT (the precursor to CBT) such as "How To Stubbornly Refuse To Make Yourself Miserable About Anything-yes, Anything!" It's honestly been life-changing, and I think a lot of folks here would appreciate the rational approach to adjusting one's beliefs, feelings, and actions. Being able to avoid unnecessary negative emotions, and irrational beliefs that upset you, can be a superpower.

I've suffered from migraines all my life. It worsened as I've gotten older. One day long attacks turned into three day long attacks. Then turned into five day long attacks. I've taken various preventatives and abortives over the years to varying success. It runs in my family so I never thought to see a neurologist for them. A couple years ago I had a bad string of them and my medicine wasn't really touching it, so I finally decided to see a headache specialist. The doctor very quickly got me started one of these anti-CGRP medications.

Almost immediately, I dropped to 0-1 attacks a month, and when they do happen they are both less painful and my other medicine knocks them out fast.

Literally life changing.
This seems like woefully naive virtue-signaling to me. I geo-block all traffic from Iran, N Korea, China and Russia specifically at my clients' firewalls because I have watched the logs and could clearly see IPs from each of these countries attempt connections to American businesses every minute of every day. Try to single out the offending IP and tomorrow it moves to another; you will spend the rest of your days adding to that block list. It is perfectly sensible to block the country entirely; and better yet - as I've made a standard for my clients - block the entire world, and only allow specific countries to talk to your firewall. Then you can add more granular blocks on top of this. If something gets blocked that shouldn't, that's not painful to adjust. I have no doubt there are many fine people in Russia, but that doesn't mean there's a single computer in Russia that has any business talking to mine.

uv is just so damn good.

All else equal, I prefer julia to python, but uv makes the python experience so much nicer. I'd love it if julia copied uv and replaced the Pkg system with it.
You could potentially address both templating and front-end integration by adopting Dioxus which does full stack rendering with React-like components (but in Rust). A "batteries included" full-stack framework could be quite exciting I think.

A scenario for "don't use uv" I hope none of you encounter: many nvidia libraries not packaged up in something better like torch.

Here's just one example, nemo2riva, the first in several steps to taking a trained NeMo model and making it deployable: https://github.com/nvidia-riva/nemo2riva?tab=readme-ov-file#...

before you can install the package, you first have to install some other package whose only purpose is to break pip so it uses nvidia's package registry. This does not work with uv, even with the `uv pip` interface, because uv rightly doesn't put up with that shit.

This is of course not Astral's fault, I don't expect them to handle this, but uv has spoiled me so much it makes anything else even more painful than it was before uv.

If only employee retention were not an inscrutable black box. What are the poor job-creators to do in the face of ungrateful, capricious employees who can at anytime for unfathomable reasons like "more remuneration", "recognition", or "better working conditions". Perhaps one day someone in the social sciences will do research in this uncharted corner of human psychology, and 50 years later, employers will know what to do.

I've seen colleagues uproot their lives by moving across the country and be laid off before they got their 3rd paycheck. I have worked under a toxic manager brought in at a startup for the express purpose of increasing attrition, amd afterwards looked at his linked in an realized that was his speciality: a contractor brought in to shake engineering teams to see what falls. The power imbalance, and rate of abuse between employers and employees are clear to me.
great write up! have only dabbled in python, but dabbled enough to understand and _feel_ each dotpoint under "what problems uv tries to solve".
But, briefly, TS is tricky if the entirety of the ecosystem isn't TS. It's becoming less of a problem, and things like deno and bun that have native support for TS are solving the problem, but Rich Harris made compelling arguments for why they went with JSDoc. And, I don't think that is a perfect solution either, but I can write code that runs even if the JSDoc isn't correct, and I can't do that when the TS compiler refuses to compile for some reason like an external library isn't right.
With regards to scaling, I think there are two components:

Does the physics change as they scale up the field strength? No one is really going to know until they try (unless we get a lot better at simulating plasma real fast). If not, they lost a bet, but they lost it honestly and as far as I can tell (not a physicist) it was a reasonably good bet to make.

Can they physically build the bigger magnets they need fast enough to meet their timelines (and everything else. I understand they are currently bottlenecked on capacitors)? Apart from normal "startups are overly optimistic" issues I don't see any reason to think that they shouldn't be able to reliably predict how fast they can scale magnet size, or be limited to a linear rate. While they are big magnets, it's not exactly new physics.

I'm not sure I'd say they are "probably going to be viable" anytime soon either. I think they have a good chance, but "probably" as in ">50%" is probably pushing it. (Also depends on where you put the goalposts of course)

FWIW I believe that 2018 report was for a high gain low pulse rate plan that Helion rejected, and they are aiming for substantially lower strength magnets as a result. I can't find anything more than rumors to confirm that though.

Seems implausible. The fusion presumably wouldn’t keep going if it breached the walls.

Also, to be bright enough that we would see it from here as a star, I imagine it would require enough material that one might as well just let gravity do the job rather that use a Tokamak?

Maybe there are efficiency gains that are large enough that it wouldn’t actually require as much material as a star? I wouldn’t guess so though.
None of this justifies getting rid of the team entirely. The GSA's plan is reasonable and 18F facilitated projects that saved more money than they spent. IRS Free File is a great example of that.
Just two reasons (there are more): 1) uv is vastly faster than pip. Just using uv pip install -r requirements.txt and nothing else is a win. 2) uv can handle things like downloading the correct python person, creating a venv (or activating an existing venv if one exists) and essentially all the other cognitive load in a way that's completely transparent to the user. It means you can give someone a Python project and a single command to run it, and you can have confidence it will work on regardless of the platform or a dozen other little variables that trip people up.
LLMs (or other AIs) of the future may well get better than humans at reading badly written documentation, filling in gaps by cross-referencing multiple sources, or learning APIs entirely from reading uncommented source code...
Agreed. I did the exact same thing with that giant script venv and it was a constant source of pain because some scripts would require conflicting dependencies. Now with uv shebang and metadata, it’s trivial.

Before uv I avoided writing any scripts that depended on ML altogether, which is now unlocked.
Sqs- easy and cheap.
Hopefully, you’ll be able to avoid the whole X Premium Plus thing in the near future with OpenRouter. It’ll still use xAI backend but via your OpenRouter API key. Then you can use it with any web or mobile app that supports OpenRouter.

I'm curious, have you lived in the same place this whole time? If the pain came back when you returned home, maybe there is some environmental cause for it, possibly something poorly-understood. I hesitate to even mention any examples because this can be controversial (and murky) territory, but I'm thinking of things like EMF exposure. Maybe you are really sensitive to something like that. Not sure, but could be worth experimenting with different environments and collecting data.

Could be; definitely shows their intent and focus. It definitely seems they are targeting the SWE profession first and foremost (OpenAI); at least it seems that way to an outside observer.

We run mostly Java apps with a few Go apps. What I miss with Go, maybe just because I'm not as familiar and don't know where to look, is all the runtime analysis that's built in. Thread dumps, heap dumps, and even flight recorder profiling is all built in to the JVM so it works with all apps everywhere. When a Go app suddenly slows down it's very difficult to determine why unless the app was coded to provide the right metrics.

The Sun consumes a mass equivalent of a mount Everest worth of hydrogen via fusion to shine for just an hour (or thereabouts, if I did my math right :)). For perspective, this amount of energy is more than enough to power the Earth's current electrical usage for over a billion years.

> They gain almost nothing by having it closed source

That's not really true. As a strictly internal engine they gain the massive benefit that the only users are themselves. They don't have to make affordances or adjust for third party users. If they released it with no intention to play nice with the community then all they open themselves up to is criticism and bad press when they inevitably break third party users. To keep their nice internal workflows without more engineering effort would make the release a dump of the source tree and a "have fun" message pledging zero support.

Often in internal engines there are lots of workflows and tools that only work with access to the company's internal network. Things you can't make public. I work on (a different) internal AAA engine and our build system would not work without access to our internal network even if you had a dump of the entire source code. Do you rip that out or modify your internal workflows? Not so free to release it anymore.
Yeah, I think it's mostly about complexity: CPython's APIs also change quite a bit, but they're pretty simple (in the "simple enough to hang yourself with" sense).

It's so interesting that all these companies are all "coming out" to express the "truth" about dei, conveniently right now when a new administration comes along that is radically opposed to it.

What challenge did you run into with exception handling?

I'm curious because I've never felt it being onerous nor felt like there was much friction. Perhaps because I've primarily built web applications and web APIs, it's very common to simply let the exception bubble up to global middleware and handle it at a single point (log, wrap/transform). Then most of the code doesn't really care about exceptions.

The only case where I might add explicit exception handling probably falls into a handful of use cases when there is a desire to a) retry, b) log some local data at the site of failure, c) perform earlier transform before rethrowing up, d) some cleanup, e) discard/ignore it because the exception doesn't matter.
