Depends on the service / agency. Some have long wait times.

Can you provide a link to this? I looked Callan's comments on the cited bug[1] and none of it struck me as being even a little off the rails.

Besides the other mentioned issues, using average user rating as a proxy of quality is something that needs at least an argument why you expect the ratings to be comparable. Consider that for example shops near a train station will see a lot more one-off customers who might be inclined to rate differently compared to the shop's neighbors.

John Carmack would disagree with Uncle Bob and John Carmack actually programs.

My own experience is that with an IDE that can collapse a new scope in the middle of a function, you can make large functions that accomplish a lot and are very clear by writing a comment and starting a new scope.

If something is going to be called multiple times a new function makes sense, but this idea that anything that can eventually return a single value needs to be it's own function is a giant pain that creates more problems than it solves.

Just makeing a new scope in the middle of the functions lets you use all the variables in the outer scope, do transformations without introducing new variables and ultimately "return" a new variable to the outer scope.

I've never understood why polluting namespaces with dozens or hundreds of names (most of which may not be very descriptive since naming a hundred small things is already going to be confusing) is seen as a good idea. You look at a list and you have no idea what is important and what was being shoved in there to satisfy some do nothing public speaker's arbitrary rules.

There's hilariously nothing open about OpenAI, and that was the plan from the start. From the email by Ilya Sutsekver, OpenAI was always going to keep all it's research and code as proprietary information. Open supposedly meant the benefits would be shared. So they basically just became a SaaS with a free tier, like most of them.

> most recognized expert in the world

I am certainly not the most recognized expert in the world.

> If your tools and data are at all business critical to a real company you are vastly undercharging

I make around 90% of my revenue from flat rate prices. The hourly rates are an additional service. The majority of my clients pay quarterly flat rates. For the typical client, I only have to set up a generation script once, which takes around 30 minutes. I usually never touch that script again for years.

> [...] hardly a business achievement [...] That is a third less than a random handyman will charge where I live.

Sorry, but I really couldn't care less. I never actively planned to do this side gig. I got into it because people cold-contacted me and asked me for it. I very much enjoy doing it, I like the industry contacts it generates, it's only a few hours work each month, and it pays off my mortgage. It's mostly a paid fun hobby project.

I am curious about how you go for time estimate when you say a flat rate. I assume if a problem is difficult, this might become tough to guage right?
About three weeks ago, I made a mistake that cost me years of traction on my VSCode extension.
A bad update led to user complaints, so I thought unpublishing for a bit was a good idea. Turns out, once an extension is unpublished, the publishing ID is gone forever.
Microsoft support? Nothing they could do.
This means there's no real way to "pause" an extension without permanently destroying its install base. I had to rebuild from scratch.
Two weeks later, my new extension is already at 9,000+ installs. The resilience of the dev community amazes me.
Maybe we need a better rollback system for VSCode Marketplace? Or at least a warning before unpublishing?
If you’re curious, here’s my new extension → https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Sixth.si...
I've played with it the whole day (so take it with a grain of salt). My gut feeling is that it can produce a bigger ... "thing". I am calling it a "thing", because it looks very much as what you want, but the bigger it is - the more the chances of it being subtly (or not) wrong.

I usually ask the models to extend a small parser/tree-walking interpreter with a compiler/VM.

Up until Claude 3.7 the models would propose something lazy and obviously incomplete. 3.7 generated something that looks almost right, mostly works, but is so overcomplicated and broken in such a way, that I rather delete it and write it from scratch. Trying to get the model to fix it resulted in running in circles, spitting out pieces of code that didn't fit the existing ones etc.

Not sure if I prefer the former or the latter tbh.
You know the "T" in "LGBTQ" stands for "transgender," right?

There's a word for people who "support the LGBTQ community without the T," it's "terfs," or just "transphobes."
>What is a "mugger"?

Someone who uses threat of violence (real or otherwise), to steal from people.

>Does someone who has ever committed a mugging carry that label with them for the rest of their life?

Easily sidestepped by claiming that they're bad people in the moment, or for that action. You can still call an law-abiding citizen that volunteers in his community and donates to charity a "bad person", if one day he goes rogue and punches someone in a fit of range, for instance.

> If the mugging was committed on a serial killer, is it still morally indefensible in your view?

Yes, because such actions are extrajudicial (how do you know the victim was actually a serial killer?), and sets a dangerous precedent (how soon until people are mugging each other for being Trump/Kamala supporters?).
This is incredible.

IMO, saving one life justifies every cent invested into OpenAI. How many thousands (or many, many more) will we never know about?

I was actually looking at building something like this for analyzing different AI generated voices. I ended up going down a statistics rabbit hole to understand how to reduce the total number of comparisons to be made while still getting a good result. Have you considered how your tool can work with different metadata across the comparison set to reduce total comparisons needed? Also accepting a CSV similar as an input?
There's some history I'm not aware of here. I didn't know just how bad the V6 second system committee shitshow was.

It's a little depressing to have reinvented the modem only 10,000 times less efficient.

At the point that two AIs discover that they are talking to each other, wouldn't it almost certainly be true that both could access the Internet and therefore the right thing to do (if more than a few bits of information need to be shared) is to exchange endpoint information and hang up the call to be able to communicate directly?
Firstly, it's pretty crazy they allow words to be associated like this. You would think that such a large company would check for this. You could end up with some extremely awkward suggestions. I would probably have some process for double checking "words of interest" that could cause negative press.

Secondly, I find it interesting how it knows what the correct word should be, but spends some time on an obviously incorrect word before correcting. I think this points towards it being deliberate.

My suspicion is this: There is some kind of prediction for partially complete words, and somebody has either messed with the training data or the code that makes the predictions. The first part "race-is" could complete to "racist" or "racism" or something else. The second system then predicts based on the full word (given by the break), and the suggestion is corrected.

For those thinking "this is okay", just bare in mind that next time this could be a word association that strikes some form of emotion in you. Imagine losing your father recently, saying "Dad" and the correction suggests "Dead" -> "Dad", it might be insensitive.

> This reminds me of the redditors who post questions about mundane government services where it would be quicker to simply call the agency in question and ask.

Wow oh wow does this depend on the agency, and depend on the question, and assumes you even know how to ask the question the right way. And I think considering that, the analogy operates quite well. People often don't know how to ask about medical things, they just describe symptoms ("platelet count" probably isn't a highly googled term for self-diagnosis). People do similar things when they have a problem with government and don't know where to turn, may not know which agency to contact, or how navigate that agency's phone trees, etc.
I think coding skills don't lag as far behind with those who enjoy coding. It's a hell of a lot easier to learn and more accessible than it ever was. Plus applications like modding make learning fun.

Web site design survey!

"When my site is under load, I should:"

- Fall back to a degraded text mode representation that is still readable

- Redirect to an error display

- Load the site correctly, then a few seconds later redirect to the error display anyways, forcing users to quickly ctrl-A ctrl-C so they can read the article

Hint to the designer: it's not the third one.

I know what you're talking about, and the last lab results I got contained more data than I've ever seen before on one of those things. There were one or two results outside of the normal range, which my doctor addressed with me directly, and now everything is mostly normal.

Are you saying that the doctor failed to take action on something that was at a concerning level on her labs? Or that she should have scanned her labs for anything that was on the edges of those normal ranges?

I generally agree that more data is a good thing, but simple blood work can be kind of a large amount of data now that's not immediately recognizable to the average person. However, this is exactly the case where I want more assistance with AI... there's simply too much data for me to reliably tell what's meaningful and what's not anymore. AI can process a bunch of data and tell me what I need to know in about a second or two.

I know there are a lot of conversations going on about the dangerous elements of LLMs, but it’s nice to read a story like this alongside them — it’s a reminder of the remarkable potential of this new technology.

Could you have found out somehow else about the severity of the problem? Maybe, sure! But the fact that you had this LLM to ask, and it so easily understood whatever info you gave it, asked clarifying follow-up questions, and gave you info/directions in the way you needed to hear them — it’s such a new way of interacting with computers, almost like an API but made for humans to use, and cases like this is where that value shines most clearly IMO.
"Rust is not a language that has user-definable refinement types, but you can find some examples of refinements in the standard library, like NonZero and NonNull"

Yeah, it's on my list. When you're scanning sites with high volume (Reddit has ~300 posts per second, Bluesky has ~100) you have to keep things fast and cheap, so I think keywords still have a role, but I think they can become an implementation detail.

My plan over the next couple of months is to build the option for users to enter the kind of things they want to scan for, have AI convert that to keywords, use the keywords for the (fast) scanning, and then apply additional filtering using AI to the small number of posts that match.

Not built yet, but I think there's a bunch of promise to using AI to find relevant conversations online.

I can also now add to my list: and now an offshoot of X, xAI, released the most impressive thinking model people have seen in some time.

Bad news. Disabling features is also a fingerprint vector, and having it disabled probably makes you more suspicious. Imagine you're at a border checkpoint that fingerprints you (many countries do that), and your fingerprints were burned off. How do you think the border guard will react?

The Impoundment Control Act isn't as simple as "every dollar appropriated must be spent."

It defines how a President must notify congress to request a reduction in appropriated budget. That request is expected to contain a full accounting if expected financial impacts and reasons for the changes requested. Congress then has 45 days to respond, without congressional approval the request is considered denied.

What they are doing today could fall into a discovery period in which they're still collecting information to make a proper impoundment request. Whether they're actually acting in good faith there is yet to be seen, but they woould have to be allowed to look into and audit departments before being able to clearly lay out how much of the budget is waste and precisely why the reduction wouldn't impeded the departments from meeting their legal obligations.
