Most students couldn’t afford books. Here is one ref, which revisits pre-printing press university education in a piece about the last step people complained about (the internet)

https://opencontent.org/blog/archives/6104

> Before the printing press, faculty had to assume that none of their students had books. This led to a widely adopted practice known as dictation, in which faculty slowly read out the text for students so that they could make their own handwritten copies. (This was, of course, not the only mode of instruction. But it was a common one.) Blair writes that dictation was widely believed to have pedagogical merit, as “the act of copying out a text was often considered an essential part of mastering it” (p. 46). She provides a wide range of support for this view, going all the way back to Demosthenes and St. Jerome. However, others argued that dictation hurt student learning as the focus on writing distracted students from paying closer attention to the faculty themselves. (Presumably no one likes to stand in front of an audience and have them all looking down at their phones parchment the entire time.)

> You may be unsurprised to learn that there is a strong economic undercurrent to the conversation about dictation, and that it often pit students against faculty and others. Blair notes that students saw it as “a cheaper way of procuring oneself a classroom text” (p.45). Consequently, a ban on dictations by Arts Faculty at the University of Paris in 1355 “anticipated vehement student resistance to the ban.”
Perhaps your work experience hasn't been VC funded tech firms with inexperienced managers and cargo cult dev processes.

Especially you need to be able to understand the main bit about not needing to do anything at all after daily standup, err I mean punch in the stomach. (because likely the work will be thrown away soon, or the company will pivot.) and then the pre-climax (there's a name for this in plot development but I don't know it), the perf review. and finally the firing. The unnamed peers used as an excuse for a single instance of not being a team player, ie not participating in a nonsense ritual. It is indeed fatal for such firms, so to that degree the firing was a correct action.

To me this is a story about big-A Agile as a disease. But there are other meanings (side messages?) that can be taken away.
I'm not sure that would be easy. We'd probably need to build a pipeline to get the needed volume in. I think Peter Zeihan talked about this recently in the context of general US self-sufficiency

I just meant “they generate power and sell it”, which, I realize now isn’t exactly what I said / what I said wasn’t exactly what I meant.
Wikipedia isn’t a completely reliable source either. The LLM also includes a search engine. It’s weird since before I started playing around with it I thought it was just a fancy search engine and was grabbing sources from somewhere to shove into its context … but no, it’s all built in (although as deep research shows, it can do a lot better when it stuffs its context via research).
The ability to create limited-liability corporations at will encourages certain kinds of unethical behaviour, where you grab unethical nickels until you're hit by the steamroller of the law but still come out ahead. We should indeed be looking to get the law changed so companies like that can't exist; part of that should be reserving limited liability for entities that create a corresponding public interest benefit rather than handing it out like candy.
What is not true?

And can you quote the part of the web page you consider relevant to the not-true thing?
Right now, today, nothing stops academia from publishing every paper they write to be open to all. The internet is there and publishing is free.

The fact that they don't implies that they perceive some value is provided by publishing in the traditional way.

Assuming that journals die as a result of your law (why would people pay for a journal anymore?) is it worth considering that value (perceived or real) before advocating it is gone?

For example, consider a news article which starts with "a study published in Nature shows that..." versus "a study posted on Joe's blog on the internet indicates..."

For better or worse (and often with mistakes) journals act as a filter. Researchers in a field can "keep up". They can spend their time on "good papers" rather than trying to sift the dross of the internet.

Researchers, and by extension the place they work, gain karma points when publishing in hard-to-publish papers. If other papers cite their work they get even more points. Ultimately academia (employers and peers) ranks people using these points.

Does this mean your idea is bad? Not necessarily. But it's worth understanding that your proposal would "fix" one problem, but introduce a bunch of new ones.

Another (equally flawed) approach to solving the problem is that the govt simply pays for journal subscriptions to anyone who asks. This means "open access", with benefits limited to "their" population. But the values offered by journals are preserved. Of course this incentivizes journals to increase fees.
Every media processing or delivery service you've interacted with in the last decade is a lib-ffmpeg wrapper, including broadcast TV, streaming, or anything remotely related to re-encoding video. I'm only being slightly hyperbolic, FFMpeg is ubiquitous.
>But sonnet solved over 25% of them and made 60 grand.

Technically it didn’t since all these tasks were done some time ago. On that note, I feel like putting a dollar amount on the tasks it was able to complete is misleading.

In the real world, if a model masquerading as a human is only right 25% of the time, its reviews on Upwork would reflect that and it would never be able to find work ever again. It might make a couple thousand before it loses trust.

Of course things would be different if they were open and upfront about this being an LLM, in which case it would presumably never run out of trust.

And again, Expensify is an anomaly among companies in that it gives freelancers well articulated tasks to work on. The real world is much more messy.

It may be the case. I also genuinely think some people are not paying attention and think in a vacuum. They fail to see the malice and the words and writings from these people wanting to destroy the function of the government.

But hey, the president is like a CEO, right?

You didn’t mention an important point: speed.

Suppose conda had projects. Still, it is somewhat incredible to see uv resolve + install in 2 seconds what takes conda 10 minutes. It immediately made me want to replace conda with uv whenever possible.

(I have actively used conda for years, and don’t see myself stopping entirely because of non Python support, but I do see myself switching primarily to uv.)
Thought that was going to be https://xkcd.com/125/. Iteration of the same concept I guess.

Actually, the opposite is true. The rationals have measure zero, so a number selected uniformly at random from 0 to 1 (formalized way of placing a dot on a number line), has a 0% chance of being rational.

Yes, but it provides value only for scientist careers, not for science.
That's why I mentioned it wasn't a brusque development, he acted the same way when he was a baby.

> there's no way it's necessary that people do only the shit bits of science as a career.

Right, they don’t do only that, they also have their own projects. Also, even if it’s not very pleasant, it’s good to have more papers early in a career. It helps landing the next position.
I'm not entirely convinced this is at all true. The American Left fully understood the "paradox of tolerance", and they pushed their own tolerance to the point where, much to the relief of many Americans, President Trump won his second term.

The problem with the "Paradox of Tolerance" is that intolerance of the "intolerant" drive the "intolerant" underground. They may feel isolated for long periods of time, but when they realize that they are the majority, rather than the minority, power can shift dramatically. This is called a "preference cascade" and it's particularly common among totalitarian regimes.

The only way to prevent preference cascades is to have just enough tolerance of views you consider hateful that they don't get driven underground -- and you do this by rigorously debating anyone you find to be wrong, without going after their livelihoods (among other things).
Conda is the dreaded solution to the dreadful ML/scientific Python works-on-my-computer dependency spaghetti projects. One has to be crazy to suggest it for anything else.

uv hardly occupies the same problem space. It elevates DX with disciplined projects to new heights, but still falls short with undisciplined projects with tons of undeclared/poorly declared external dependencies, often transitive — commonly seen in ML (now AI) and scientific computing. Not its fault of course. I was pulling my hair out with one such project the other day, and uv didn’t help that much beyond being a turbo-charged pip and pyenv.
> You are reading universality where that was not implied whatsoever

I'm not persuaded you're in a position to know what zozbot234 implied.

> where are you getting the idea that that relates to the American people at large

From my experience talking to other people on related topics.

> nothing was said as to whether these transactions benefit the average American

Something was said as to whether the class of people to which one of the parties to these transactions (Elon Musk, that is) belongs benefits the average American. It was said by me near the root of this sub-thread, in the comment to which zozbot234 replied.

> that is why I said your comment is a non sequitur.

If you're handing out non-sequitur demerits, hand one to zozbot234 then, if that person's comment and everything after it doesn't relate to the American people at large, as you seem to imply. Or, hand one to yourself. Take your pick.

All the major US tech firms are extremely competition averse. They are all cozying up to Trump so they can maintain their cartels.

Please do.
Why set aside the politics? Everybody that is not high drinking Xitter punch can see that this is a national tragedy. I'm a libertarian. I actually believe in many of these ideals that are being used as a smoke screen for this fascist coup. Am I happy they are at least finally getting some attention? Fuck no! In the least worst case their political capital will have been burnt for the next several decades. In the likely case, these looting vandals will have destroyed much of the wealth and culture of this country that made it possible to ponder the possibility of lofty ideas like widespread individual freedom.
I had them in my 20s on a weekly basis but since I could stave them off with massive water intake I thought they were something else. I didn't get optical symptoms, it was just a really bad headache, nausea and chills that felt like a bad hangover. It wasn't until my 40s when I started getting optical migraines (which are scary as hell since they mimic a stroke) that I went to a dr and he diagnosed me. Apparently it's common for migraine sufferers to transition to optical migraines when they're older.
Trump is bringing up the point that all employees of the executive branch owe fealty to him, and must act directly in accordance with is directives above Congress.
it took me 20 minutes. it was a pretty easy read. i didn't think i was a fast reader ... but gemini tells me otherwise.

people read entire books you know.

i ran the text through a grade level calculator and it came out as 8th grade level, which i understand is typical for a mainstream newspaper. i guess that's why it was such a quick read.
True and uv will probbaly never brings non python deps on the table.

But anaconda doesn't do inline deps, isn't a consitent experience (the typical conda project doesn't exist), is it's own island incompatible with most python ecosystem, is super slow, the yaml config is very quirky, and it's very badly documented while having poor ergonomics.

In short, anaconda solves many of those problems but brings other ones on the table.
> The vast majority of people think mathematics is about numbers, when it is actually about relations

It is somewhat unfortunate that mathematics is two different things, simultaneously very closely related and very different. One is the abstract study of relationships between axiomatic entities, and the other is arithmetic.

Vast majority of people out there need only arithmetic, and boy they really need it. Calculating tax, taxi fares, shopping bills, splitting bills etc. And to some extent, you need the abstract maths to understand arithmetic.

We have one curriculum for that vast majority of people and for the few who move on to academic maths. Simplifying ideas like integers to number lines doesn't seem like a high price to pay.
It's phrased in a way that indicates the Humane brand and company is not part of the deal? Just assets (patents, software, staff) but not the name or brand? I would not be surprised if it rose from the ashes at some point.
True. Or at least, only for a short time.
> In Node, I remember wrapping Promisesromises into objects that had a stack for pushing messages onto them, so that the creator of a Promise could mark the calling site, and creating another Promise within that promise would pick up the chain of call site names and append to it, etc. Logging that chain when a Promise fails proved to be very useful.

Sounds complicated. I don't use Node much (nor recently, for that matter), but when I write f/end JS I capture the chain of function calls by creating a new exception (or using whatever exception was thrown), and sending the `.stack` field to a globally-scope function which can then do whatever it wants with it.

Will that not work in Node?
I couldn’t follow the line of thought between eugenics and AI.
well if the argument is cheaper, I can argue that JS/python dev would be more cheaper since there are more pool of talent
Yes. The main benefits for me and my coworkers are speed and automatic fetching of Python interpreter. It's so fast that it's a pleasure to use (same thing could be said about ruff vs. black). And the fact that it downloads the right Python interpreter specified in the project's pyproject.toml means my coworker don't have to care about installing and managing Python versions. They don't even need to have a Python installed in the first place.

Otherwise, it works pretty much like Poetry. Unfortunately Poetry is not standards-compliant with the pyproject.toml, so you'll have to rewrite it. There are tools for this, never bothered with them though.
>Simply consider the users that use generative AI in order to perform some unimportant work

Says who ? I certainly don't use it for unimportant work.

>(as I hope is the case, for generative AI cannot produce anything of novelty, by design)

Another Unfounded Assertion

>then through simple deduction you can conclude that the generative AI contributed nothing of value.

Nonsensical. 'Unimportant work' that people keep doing is work that needs to be done. Getting it done is providing value.

>I could say a pornography website is of extreme value to humanity.

Pornography provides a lot of value yes.
The MobX back then froze completely on any error and we had to convert its data types for certain components. Did they completely address both issues?
Having the features is not nearly as much use if the whole thing's too slow to use. I frequently get mamba taking multiple minutes to figure out how to install a package. I use and like Anaconda and miniforge, but their speed for package management is really frustrating.

While the 400B "knowledge" is reliable and replaces most of my googling, the 70B are not, nor their "reasoning".

So until we can have these models locally, running at 10-20token /sec minimum...

I am fairly hype up over gen AI but we are only at the start of this revolution, and will require a few more years for niche domains, or company knowledge (RAG doesn't cut it, fine tuning too expensive) and we aren't tackling all the media related.

And because of hallucinations,which they require to work, they can't be reliable at 100% or be truly use without supervision.

I feel it looks like internet back in the 90s, we were saying it as a new way to connect people, share knowledge, only to have echo chambers and porn distribution as few take away. I kid I kid.

The temperatures are far beyond anything matter can stand, so its very important that the magnetic confinement keeps the plasma from touching anything.

But one end product of the fusion process is neutrons. Neutrons are unaffected by the magnetic confinement, they pass right through and hit the jacket of the reactor, where they are absorbed. This heats up the material, which is why you can run cooling water through the jacket which turns into steam. This steam spins a turbine.

There's some engineering challenges (neutron bombardment turns steel and concrete brittle, and later radioactive), but in the end its very similar to a normal fission reactor.
> The world is going to become stupider because it’s easier.

Wasn't the same thing when we switched from books to web? We lost the ability for long reads, and instead just search and click directly to specific information, losing the larger context. And we adapted, we have a whole search culture, reputation systems, new patterns of interaction with information.
In my personal life, I have resolved not to be silent if confronted with a pro-Trump opinion being voiced. To state unequivocally and without needing to elaborate that what is occurring is something un-American and goes beyond partisan differences, that Trump and his lieutenants are destroying our Federal government for a generation or more while permanently damaging our place among democracies in the world. That the people who voted for him are making America a worse and weaker country for their children.

I'm going to write essays to those I care about and also coordinate action plans with like minded individuals to be ready for scenarios of neo-nazi rallies or certain extreme behaviors, should they occur in my city.

I'm debating protesting solo with signs along our roads; someone did that recently in my city and said they had to flee because Trump supporters surrounded him and threatened him. But it needs done.
I wonder how well it works with heavily nested files. AFAIU, this is a recursive parser.

AI summary:

The article challenges Musk’s bold claims that his “fiscal commandos” in the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) are rapidly uncovering fraud and waste that will cut federal spending by as much as $2 trillion a year. It explains that while Musk’s team regularly announces contract cancellations and agency scrapping, a review of daily Treasury data shows that government outlays have actually risen—from about $26 billion a day under Biden to roughly $30 billion now—and the overall spending trajectory this fiscal year is nearly unchanged from previous years. In part, this is because nearly two‐thirds of the federal budget is committed to mandatory programs like Social Security and health insurance, with only a small fraction available for discretionary cuts (and much of that is devoted to defense, which is politically protected). Even if DOGE could eliminate all fraud—estimated by watchdogs to be between $233 billion and $521 billion annually—it would still fall far short of Musk’s ultra-ambitious targets. Moreover, many of DOGE’s actions, such as targeting diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility programs or cancelling multi-year contracts, represent only modest savings (totalling roughly $7–$45 billion a year, less than 1% of overall spending). While DOGE has already disrupted the lives of thousands of federal employees (with mass layoffs and leaves), its core mission to generate vast savings appears to be facing enormous structural and political limitations.
