That's interesting. I never encountered either a pseudocholinesterase deficiency or MH during my 38 years of residency/attending/private practice.

However — in my first year of residency, during my rotation at the VA, while performing my first brachial plexus block, I unknowingly injected lidocaine into the axillary artery: as the patient began seizing, the attending calmly said "Joe, take out the needle, I'm going to give him some diazepam." Worked!

Never had another intravascular injection (that became symptomatic) doing a regional block.
'Wokiste' recently replaced 'droit de l'hommiste' recently, but practically they mean the same thing.

We still authored the human rights declaration, so I guess we are woke since 1789 (with a lot of up and downs. Mostly downs).

We don't have DEI, though you aren't supposed to put a picture on your resume, and if someone can convince a judge a company is discriminatory, it get fined (in practice, only two egregious convictions in the past 10 years). Also you have a quota for people with disabilities if you have more than 49 employees, but it's really flexible (depends on the activity, and it's a tax incentive rather than a real quota like in the US). I guess that last point would be DEI.
I don't think that's the reason. All three ecosystems had the same inflection point, and chose different solutions to it. Python's was especially "easy" since the C API was already widely used and there were no other particular constraints (WORA for Java, pervasive async for JS) that impeded it.
that is very readable cpp

What are some of the issues you've had with the Pkg system?
From a business perspective, both small and big ideas have their pros and cons. Small ideas are easy to implement and iterate, which can quickly validate the market.
You can accumulate experience and funds before aiming for big projects. Big ideas have great potential but come with high risks and large investments.
Which do you think you're more suitable to start with, a small and steady project or a high - risk, high - return big one?
what a well-written response. thank you.

may I ask which applications your work involve? your comments exhibit an exceptionally deep level of knowledge. As I mentioned in another comment, I am aware of some major authors' works (and was in the same research group at a point) but you exhibit a level of understanding uncommon even among those specialists.

I cannot peak into your brain with my trusty ToM-o-meter and measure the amount of ToM flowing in there. With your line of reasoning, i could simply claim you do not understand theory of mind and call it a day.
Hello, fellow migraine sufferers. I sincerely want you to read the fantastic essay "In Bed" by Joan Didion. It is a fantastic reflection on what it is like to have migraines and it makes me cry every time I read it because it makes me feel seen and understood.

"For I had no brain tumor, no eyestrain, no high blood pressure, nothing wrong with me at all: I simply had migraine headaches, and migraine headaches were, as everyone who did not have them knew, imaginary."

Read it; it's a google search away. You'll thank me.

Anti-CGRP medicines are life changing.

The only medicine I’ve used that has all but completely eliminated my migraines during usage (Aimovig).

Unfortunately, to get these — you have to provide an arm and a leg to insurance, even when a neurologist is vouching for you.

Nothing makes me consider violence more than meeting with a highly educated, vetted, practitioner of medicine — having a conclusive conversation about a treatment plan, and then having my fucking insurance say “ope, sorry — you have to prove you need this medicine by trying anti-depressants (which might incidentally help, but not designed for migraines), or this other thing which also may incidentally help (but not designed for migraines)”

Get this — I got a prescription for Aimovig, all positive results (for a year and a half) and my insurance is still getting in the way of fulfilling the script (each month). If I miss the dose, I get a massive rebound migraine — and I’ve missed several doses because my insurance wants to send another letter to my neuro “hey are you claiming this is still worth it?”

What does one do here? Lawyer up?

> If you're writing some types of boilerplate or often-tutorialized code it can spit out something very reasonable. Other types of code, like say in game dev, it stumbles around and never produces anything usable.

This makes me think of a quirk I discovered recently which is that ChatGPT simply won't generate a picture of a 'full glass of wine'. It generates pictures with all sorts of crazy waves/splashes in the glass but the glass is always half full no matter how you prompt it.

I'm not enough of an expert to make any deductions from this, but I think it hints at what the limitations of the currently models are.
Yeah, but finally everybody can now bulshit freely aided by their personal llm, not just the natural bulshitters; but I forsee that bullshitting may spike up a bit now then fall out of fashion for something even more fleeting as people’s attention span is getting more and more fractured.

To this day, it remains rate-limited for people who don't have an account. Also, that fact that you (and most people) keep calling it "Twitter" is proof that the name change was an absolutely horrible idea.
This is a comprehensively incorrect explanation of copyright and contract law.

That's great and all, but last time I checked I didn't live in a country with a grand leader. Germany's chancellor is looking at loosing an election in less than a week.

I am a plasma researcher, though not in the fusion field. Containment and stability are required on tokamaks to keep a plasma burning. Losing either of these will quench the reaction. The best way to control a plasma - magnetic fields, also causes significant instabilities, which is why fusion is so difficult.
I believe GP is being sarcastic, as this seems to be a common reaction. Every time a machine accomplishes something that seems to be intelligent, we redefine intelligence to exclude that thing, and now the issue is fixed: computers are not intelligent and they cannot think.

Never mind that they can beat the entire world at chess and Go, and 90+% of the population at math, engineering, and physics problems. Those things do not require intelligence or thinking.
I know people that get a prefix from their RIR, announce it from a cheap $2 VPS in the same data center as their ISP, then just do a quick WireGuard tunnel to it (so sub-millisecond additional latency, ideally) and use that to route packets from the prefix. I guess it works pretty well, but like you said: I can also just… not.

Because the other issue if you’re ULA-less is that if your router loses its connection and rescinds its RA (or you just stop the RA daemon, or shut down the router, etc), suddenly you don’t even have LAN connectivity any more because everything will have deleted its routes.

This is way more complicated than lack of a single thing. It's mostly a mutation influenced by a number of genes, causing changes in the frontal lobe, changing a number of pathways.

Good people are found, not changed, built, or nurtured. Don't get blindsighted thinking in terms of people's potential. If they are not what you want today, they will never become.

Hence, your best bet is to explore but be picky about who you'd want in your life, in your job/business/friend/relationship, etc.

My take is that this is good (for me). At least the body can sink.

If you don't sink evenly, your spine is aligned though not level. Whereas in a traditional mattress a poor fit to your body will feel like a hammock, or a hard floor with pressure points
Am I the only one that doesn’t see the hype with Claude? I recently tried it, hit the usage limit, read around found tons of blogs and posts from devs saying Claude is the best code assistant LLM… so I purchased Claude pro… and I hate it. I have been asking it surface level questions about Apache spark (configuring the number of tasks retries, errors, error handling, etc.) and it hallucinated so much, so frequently. It reminds me of like ChatGPT 3…

What am I doing wrong or what am I missing? My experience has been so underwhelming I just don’t understand the hype for why people use Claude over something else.

Sorry I know there are many models out there, and Claude is probably better than 99% of them. Can someone help me understand the value of it over o1/o3? I honestly feel like I like 4o better.

For a small load queueing system, I had great success with Apache ActiveMQ back in the days. I designed and implemented a system with the goal of triggering SMS for paid content. This was in 2012.

Ultimately, the system was fast enough that the telco company emailed us and asked to slow down our requests because their API was not keeping up.

In short: we had two Apache Camel based apps: one to look at the database for paid content schedule, and queue up the messages (phone number and content). Then, another for triggering the telco company API.

Hmm, I was prescribed Verapamil (calcium channel blocker, also a blood pressure medication), and they helped reduce the severity of my migraines with aura for a while. I eventually went off it, and haven't had near as many since. Early twenties was so awful for those migraines.

What is the deal with MacOS file dialogs? A couple days ago I was trying to open a project in Cursor, and I click on "home" and my name, and then it has the directories grouped by year created. So I type in the search box, but it's now searching some other context, like the whole system or something? I don't even have tons of files/directories in my home directory "ls | wc -l" gives 36.

It's like they designed it while watching High Fidelity: "I sorted my albums autobiographically. So if I'm looking for <this album> I have to remember that it's under albums I bought for a girl but ended up not giving to her." "That sounds like a great idea!"
> If Id had paid Microsoft to do the port, it would automatically be work-for-hire and the copyrights would belong to Id, unless the contract said otherwise.

Nope, not true. Work by non employees is only work-for-hire if it falls into one of the qualifying categories and the contract explicitly says that it is work-for-hire.

Alice Weidel is in almost every talk show I watch, was invited to almost every major debate and everyone is doing a great job of normalizing the AfD. Every time someone from there complains about not being allowed to say what they want it's on a stage with a mic in hand and them being allowed to say whatever they want. So while I don't really agree on the "Nazi" part they're definitely not silenced. And apparently no one in this thread can tell me what freedom I'm missing despite claiming I do. Just give me some statistic or some example of systematic suppression of speech if it's that obvious to anyone but me
Heritability means that parents having a trait explains, in a statistical sense, some amount of how much a randomly chosen person has a trait. So some of heritability is genetics and some is the shared environment.

For example, someone is quite likely to speak the same first language as their parents, and for this reason, the statistics for heritability come up with a high number for how heritable a trait first language is. But this isn’t because of some English-speaking gene, it’s because lots of environmental conditions are common between parents and children.

The intuitive reason that the number of fingers on your hand is not heritable is because lots of the variation comes from injuries which are not explained very much by whether one’s parents lost fingers from injury. Genetic causes for an unusual number of fingers are much less common than accidents and so can’t cause much of the variation that is observed across a population.

Because it is quite reasonable to get a high heritability number for something that is not genetically determined (and a low number for something that is), one cannot really argue anything about genetic determinism from heritability numbers.

Plot twist: all these people sharing on twitter yet another creative way of mentioning Xi and Tiananmen in a conversation without triggering the protection (count to 11 in roman numbers, leetspeak etc) were in fact collecting the training data for the nextgen LLM-based protection. Well played!
> Let’s say you make $1 million per year and your net worth is $20 million.

Then you are unambiguously extremely rich.

Yes there are people orders of magnitude richer, but yes you are orders of magnitude richer than the median American. Money is no longer a daily consideration to live a 100% comfortable and healthy (to the extent money can pay for it) life.

I am well aware of how much more obscenely wealthy the ultrawealthy are. That doesn’t make a $20MM net worth or $1MM/yr household middle class.

You really can’t make that kind of accusation without proof. Got any?
As for "why not 50 years", even the pessimistic reports of that video have it at ~30 years. Besides, the point is "we won't really know a good estimate for when until it's already about to hit us in the face" not "we should just assume 50 years is a more correct guess than other ones".

As for the comments about votes, they aren't a measure of terseness either. The point is to bubble comments likely to result in curious and thoughtful conversation to the top while comments which will distract from that kind of conversation (combative, vague, distractly offtopic, or whatever else the reason may be) tend to get hidden away. Whether a comment is totally on the money or absolutely incorrect, how you present the conversation starter has a far bigger drive on what types follow-on conversation will appear. Here, that also strongly implies what types of votes will appear too.
Did you find Verapamil had any mood altering or cognitive properties for you? I take it for migraines. I think it makes me a little more emotionally stable but a tiny bit slower cognitively, especially in the mornings. It's a good trade off, especially in light of how it basically stopped my migraines, but it's one I have perceived.
Chatgpt was the 6th (and climbing) most visited site in the world in January. Cursor is the fastest growing Saas of all time.

So yeah, most people get real value from LLMs. It's pretty plain to see, for anyone actually interested in seeing it.

People had the same theory for chatgpt, except rather than Xi and Tiananmen, it was how to make meth and anti-"woke" topics.
kinda surprising to see basically just LLM wrappers still getting funded/interest. Neat idea obviously and nice to have, but that's sort of it. Fundamentally misses mark on what you can do already without AI (running tests on your actual doc code examples etc), and fact that any of the AI IDEs could turn part of this one with single switch to just append a doc friendly update to a commit. To think that soon we have ai agents reading ai generated docs instead of code to reduce it back down to code...
At this point, just go to a casino. The last thing our world needs is more gambling and fruitless speculation.
It's odd that it's mostly Europeans talking about how the US is currently collapsing or something. Not very odd, but odd nonetheless.

The general consensus among Americans with a clue is that the Government should serve the people, not the other way around. If a government is "critical" for the people survive then the government has become a Leviathan. Ideally a government should just be another corporation, one buys and sells political services and goods. A failure of a single company shouldn't cause an economic downturn, but that is the situation we find ourselves in.

It's not very odd because implicitly Europeans have realized that the government they care most about, in terms of their economic well being, is the American one. (and of course they bragged about not working so much that we had to cut them off lol)
If the value created by doing that work wouldn't surpass the shittiness of doing it, the work wouldn't exist. Unless workers are slaves, they clearly prefer the work over other options or not working. Otherwise they'd leave. The employer is clearly getting enough value to pay them the compensation needed for the tediousness.

If there is no upside for anyone, but only discomfort for the checkout clerks, someone might be able to disrupt the field by paying slightly less but allowing them to stand. Since that isn't happening, I assume that either
a) workers are showing the difference between revealed and stated preference
b) grocery stores are actually making more money of clerks stand
c) paying less in exchange for sitting clerks isn't possible because minimum wage
or, like everyone, they make mistakes.
