Yeah, I think I'm in that category - I do struggle with JavaScript. The reason why though, is not just about how to do stuff in it, but the fact that I think it's an awful language for so many reasons.

I kind of figured that some people have to love it for it to be so popular, but that makes me curious about what other languages you have used and how you think they compare?

A bit like "Agile is dead" and everybody hating "Agile". Sure, what they hate is what's been pushed as "Agile" for the last decade or more: ceremoniel-over-flexibility-Scrum, rigid sprints, "user story" as a synonym for "ticket", etc, etc.

It would be much more interesting to see PCA (or t-SNE or whatever) on the internal representation within the model itself. As in the activations of a certain number of layers or neurons, as they change from token to token.

I don't think the OpenAI embeddings are necessarily an appropriate "map" of the model's internal thoughts. I suppose that raises another questions: Do LLMs "think" in language? Or do they think in a more abstract space, then translate it to language later? My money is on the latter.

Yes, it has events on cert issuance/renewal you can hook into with Go plugins (which can trigger your python script). But generally you want all Caddy instances to share storage via storage modules (e.g. Redis or Consul or a DB, or synced filesystem) and Caddy manages locks through the storage so they don't step on eachother's toes.

People believe stories. It's ridiculous to suggest otherwise.

As competing narratives become more compelling, people switch the stories they believe.

So if you want people to start believing in the set of facts you hold to be true, tell them a compelling story about those facts, don't just tell at them for not fact checking.

We eliminated most of childhood. Kids lost their ability to regularly roam for hours, freely and without adults.

With that went most of kids' organic time learning complex problem solving, concocting and executing plans, working with peers, giving/getting feedback, how to lead, how to follow and other factors that set the stage for YA mental health.

Phones are tools kids use to cope with a life spent in perpetual lockdown. Phone use rose as kids were working out how to cope with the loss of their critical growth places/critical growth hours.

In this context, blaming phones seems a lot like adults being adults.

Do you use software development effort estimation methods?
I recently fell into a small rabbit hole and discovered the world model-based software development effort estimation. There are various models and tools like COCOMO (and the more recent COCOMO2) and others (See 1).

So far in my professional career, mostly in Start-ups I have yet to come accross anyone using those. Is this more common in langer orgs or government agencies? Are those helpful at all? Would love to learn about your experiences.

Yes, they're trying to figure out the actual money flows at the moment. Musk just tweeted that the payment files sent to the Treasury don't reconcile with the other databases, so it's just going to be a huge mess working out what's really going on.

The IG report you link is very useful! It confirms a lot of what Musk has posted about the age buckets in the database, proving there was never any misunderstanding of the schema or epochs.

It does also say that many of the numbers without accurate death data aren't being used to pay out, which is why the SSA doesn't bother fixing them (which leads to the question of what did cause the payouts to stop?). So, the bad age/death data doesn't automatically imply pensions fraud.

Nonetheless the OIG is in Musk's corner here (as of July 2023). The reason is that even if SSA isn't paying out their death data is used by the rest of the US government to stop fraudulent payouts for benefits programmes after death, and so the SSA not bothering to ensure data quality opens up the rest of the government to fraud even if we accept their claim that it's not causing them problems directly. The OIG writes, "SSA has not established controls to annotate death information on the Numident records of numberholders who exceeded maximum reasonable life expectancies ... Death information missing from the Numident and the [death master file] hampers both SSA and Government-wide efforts to prevent and detect fraud and misuse".

I can think of two good reasons such a thing may be a good idea in such a place, if you can’t, you’re not qualified to second guess the decision.
Is this better rephrased as “any two vectors in a high-dimensional space are almost always functionally orthogonal”?

I have mostly a laypersons understanding of this idea but I would assume that it would be false to say that they are typically _entirely_ orthogonal?

I’m reminded of this line from Stewart Lee, when talking about the disillusioned British working class voting for radical political parties/causes:

The relation among the internal model representations inside its latent space and the embedding of the CoT compressed with a text embedding model is, more or less, minimal. Then we take this and map it to a 2D space, which captures more or less nothing of the original dimentionality and meaning. That's basically plotting random points.

It's cute you presume your "AGI" is going to /want/ to do anything for you. In particular, mundane chores, like washing your dishes, or that you as an individual would be able to afford it.

Anyways, it's an interesting past time around here, rather than admit the gulf between the current technologies and what AGI is imagined to be, we just troll through the past looking for anyone who even remotely made a "thinking machine" part of a fictional story.

I have a similar issue. When turning off the monitor using its power button, the system semi-crashes. After powering the monitor back on, I have to go into an alt shell and kill lightdm, which also kills all running GUI applications. Not the greatest workflow.

$ uname -a
Linux hostname 6.13.1-arch1-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Sun, 02 Feb 2025 01:02:29 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux

NVIDIA-SMI 570.86.16
Driver Version: 570.86.16
CUDA Version: 12.8

Instead of powering off the monitor, I've created an alias:

alias off='xset dpms force off && await.sh && xset -dpms'

And shell script (press any key to unblank the screen):

$ cat ~/bin/await.sh
#!/usr/bin/env bash

xinput test-xi2 --root 2>&1 | \
grep --line-buffered -m 1 'EVENT type 2 (KeyPress)' &> /dev/null

This allows me to run "off", a comromise to put the monitor in low-power mode. This solves the problem of having to kill lightdm, which improves the workflow. Still, sometimes I have to open an alt shell and then press Alt+F7 to return to X. Rarely, I'll have to go to the alt shell/Alt+F7 a second time to suppress sporadic screen glitching.

Adding nomodeset to the GRUB configuration was another suggestion:

# grep vmlinuz /boot/grub/grub.cfg | head -1

Sleep & suspend doesn’t work on Windows either.

Power control is the kind of stuff that benefits from very tight integration, and PCs just don’t have that.

Firmware is seen by most vendors as a pure cost to minimize, so you get a fragmented market full of subcontractors delivering the bare minimum that is considered “working”. Manufacturers also know most people aren’t going to use a big part of the functions they’re supposed to provide to OSes, and no one is really checking them, so it’s very common for devices to have only partial support for things they supposedly do.

The thing is that, in a platform based on link sharing, it should be known which domains point to URL shorteners.

Even if you automate their handling, the algorithm should know that, if it bumps into a say signal.me, bit.ly or goo.gl URL, it should first do a GET and then apply the algorithm to whatever is provided in the Location header.

Not doing this for a widely used URL shortener like signal.me is just a show of technical incompetence.

With regards to movies, remember prior to the modern era many soldiers and seaman were forced to serve against their will. Discipline was brutal. In the British American War of 1812, one of the reasons for war was the forced impressment of American sailors into the British Navy. British Admiral Horatio Nelson acknowledged the critical role of impressment in maintaining the British Navy’s manpower. In 1803, he reported that over 42,000 sailors had deserted since 1793, highlighting the challenges of crew retention. He stated, “Without a press, I have no idea how our Fleet can be manned.”

It was Prussia’s Moltke the Elder who recognized the complexity of modern war and the need for officers to think independently. “Subordinates would have to use initiative and independent judgment for the forces to be effective in battle. Campaign and battle plans should encourage and take advantage of the decentralization that would be necessary in any case. In this new concept, commanders of distant detachments were required to exercise initiative in their decision-making and Moltke emphasized the benefits of developing officers who could do this within the limits of the senior commander's intent.”. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helmuth_von_Moltke_the_Elder

With all that said, it all comes down to personal conscience. Of deciding what is right and wrong.
Great post! But I’d take it a step further:

> My feeling about legacy projects hasn’t changed – I still hate them (...) Instead of feeling resigned, we saw it as a place to ask questions and learn.

I see that you advocate embracing the opportunity to work on legacy projects, so I say even if you dislike legacy projects, try to avoid phrasing it so strongly. It might influence other devs in your team to develop a negative mindset toward them.

I’ve found one of the best things I can do to help my jr devs feel more confident (and be willing to ask for help) is highlight my screwups and “basic” things I’ve just learned. It make me seem more approachable and less like everything I say is a pronouncement from on high, it makes them more willing to admit to their own mistakes, it clarifies that we’re all learning stuff all the time and it helps spread knowledge about things that folks might otherwise be too afraid to ask about for fear of looking silly.

A benefit of being a sr dev is getting the benefit of the doubt on mistakes, so I might as well use that to my advantage and let everyone learn from them, not just me.

If I understand correctly, this is one of those laws-of-exponents things that humans tend to have bad intuition for, right?

Bacteria growth, unchecked, is exponential. The only reason we stay a coherent organism at all in this crazy world of trillions of other organisms is that our immune system checks the hell out of bacteria growth.

... but when that's no longer possible, when the body goes from being a hostile growth environment to food... enterococcus faecalis has a doubling time of 18 minutes. One such cell, with completely-unchecked reproduction, would produce a number of itself to rival the cell-count of the entire body in only 10 hours, and it takes way less than 30 trillion enterococcus to kill a person.
The "housing crisis" all over the world is not really a housing crisis per se. The problem is not with the cost of building more shelter. It's a crisis of land values (they aren't making any more of it, so the free market cannot "provide" it in any real sense) and misguided government regulation, viz. zoning (that has nothing to do with the free market). If you want to improve free market dynamics in the housing sector, get rid of Prop 13 and put a higher property tax on urban land values (that are seeing most of the actual "crisis") while untaxing the built structures. Then local governments will be incented to provide the best living arrangements, since these will directly translate into higher tax revenues.
Text embeddings are underused WRT model understanding IMO. "Interpretability" focuses on more complex tools but perhaps misses some of the basics - shouldn't we have some sort of visual understanding of model thinking?

But it is. Even a "full" firewall can't do anything against something on one of the inner host leaking into the outside. Most of the traffic is encrypted, even DNS. So the firewall can't operate on much more than the destination address to decide if a connection should be allowed.

It sounds like you and your fellow employees are generating those sboms while on the clock. In other words, your employer is paying for those sboms, indirectly, already. From your employer's point of view, sboms are an expense. Maybe it's a small expense, maybe it's a big one. If it gets big enough, I suppose they might consider outsourcing it.
Sounds like a disaster waiting to happen. There will be a bug in that LLM generated code and then what? Ask the LLM to fix the bug?

Ah, these were my college years. IIRC the charts were very heavy on hiphop and country at the time (as they still are) so alternative was pretty much where all the other genres went. Not so much the songs that didn't make the charts, as entire genres that were niche.
And those OSS maintainers would also, in writing, assure that if there's an error or something missing from that SBOM, they are liable for all legal fees and other costs associated with a license violation which might occur due to that error?

In any case, since surely not all maintainers will provide this service, you need to scan your codebase anyway. And it's not that difficult, really. I recommend https://github.com/aboutcode-org/scancode-toolkit.
