Navigating the flaws of AI scribes: A clinical examination

I provided a substantial reply as to why you're wrong about military impoundment in our other thread where you asked for citations.

And yet my initial comment was on Ukraine being independent. The irony here is your Jackyll and Hyde treatment of independence -- you don't hold Ukraine to such demands of never using US ports or services.
Penrose is saying a computer cannot understand / has no intelligence, and the incompleteness theorem proves this. Think in terms of the semantics (the meaning) of what the AI is outputting. The incompleteness theorem proves it does not understand and can never understand the semantics. It operates at the syntax level. How can something operating at the syntax level be intelligent? All it can do is look at symbols and rearrange them. There are algorithms to categorize and give these symbols (tokens/words) weights etc but all it can do is rearrange symbols. Do humans re-arrange symbols, no, they understand. They experience the color red, but to a computer the color red is a number. What is the connection between the number for red and the color red? AI pretty much collects every instance of red and in some sense approximates what red actually is.

It would be honest of you to mention the flood of videos on Russian social media showing crippled Russian soldiers on crutches dragged into trucks, driven to the frontline, and forced to attack. Some of them are featured here: https://edition.cnn.com/2025/02/22/europe/russia-wounded-tro...

It's true that government is vulnerable to capture, but from that it does not follow that government is bad. It is more logical to conclude that the problem is unbounded personal enrichment allowing individuals to catapult themselves above the law. Corporations are the Roman Legions of the 21st century.

Corporations are also vulnerable to capture, after all, and that is their default condition. Why should we not treat powerful conglomerate corporations with the same skepticism as governments, or armies? Their internal structure is an inefficient command economy, why is this not also treated as a problem? Their scale, diversification, and entrenchment, have all allowed them to escape the regulatory power of market competition.

> Following several years of declining health, Clifford died on October 10, 1821, at the age of 74. A state legislator recalled his father attending an auction in 1878 at the old Clifford home “when the last of the fourth generation of cabinetmakers sold the place.” His account includes this heartbreaking detail: “A farmer bought their old planes and tools for firewood, many of them then over 100 years old — he had to go twice with a two horse wagon to haul them home.”

Heartbreaking indeed! I imagine those planes might still be in use today with proper care.

To maintain any kind of project, you need a set of inputs that a human can understand and manipulate to produce desired results, and a build chain that reproducibly produces output from the inputs.

The inputs were traditionally source code, but sure, we could in principle use prompts for an LLM as the primary inputs, which then produces source code that gets fed to the rest of the build chain.

But editing the source code produced by the LLM is a non-starter because then you're editing build artifacts.

They have regulations they must abide by but in so doing they attempt to force me to think and act in those terms and I think they're poor.

> I just pointed out that in the case of Russia it occurred in an unprecedented manner, while what happens in Ukraine is what's more in line with war.

Russia did not kidnap man from the streets to force to the frontline, at least not that I'm aware of, and certainly not in the numbers that Ukraine does. Conscription happens in wars, but forcing men off the street to go to the frontline?

> Conscription would probably lead to the final collapse of the Russian economy

I've been hearing that Russian's economy is on the brink of collapse for the last three years. It's awful compared to the West, but they have transitioned into war-fueled economy well, and are still doing well enough despite the war and all the sanctions.

> Like in any country being invaded with Martial Law in place.

So same like Russia? Men want to flee from getting conscripted.
You are conflating democracy and classical liberalism. Democracy is a decision making mechanism that can produce any decisions - democratic cannibals might vote on who to eat.

Most people think, and I tentatively agree, that democracy was the best way to achieve liberal outcomes. However, overall they are in tension. You can see it in the endless 1st amendment cases over the centuries - people really, really want to limit all kinds of speech by the power of the majority, but there's an absolutist undemocratic rule usually preventing them from doing so.

I think on the net classical liberalism (esp. free speech and markets) are more important than democracy. I don't think there's enough tension between them to ditch democracy completely, I guess thiel disagrees. But he's not a coward or a hypocrite, he said so explicitly and openly.

Part of the problem is that because it's "just a browser", devs have to come up with browser-friendly ways to implement some functionality that would be very simple if it were a native app. Sometimes resulting in bugs like https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/22900 ("VS Code uses 13% CPU when focused and idle, draining battery ... due to the blinking cursor rendering").

Note that this isn't even a case of whoever implemented that cursor "doing it wrong"; to quote another comment on that bug from a Chrome dev:

> Powerful* text editors built on the web stack cannot rely on the OS text caret and have to provide their own. In this case, VSCode is probably using the most reasonable approach to blinking a cursor: a step timing-function with a CSS keyframe animation. This tells the browser to only change the opacity every 500ms. Meanwhile, Chrome hasn't yet optimised this completely yet, hence http://crbug.com/361587.
So currently, Chrome is doing the full rendering lifecycle (style, paint, layers) every 16ms when it should be only doing that work at a 500ms interval. I'm confident that the engineers working on Chrome's style components can sort this out, but it'll take a little bit of work.

The primary problem with the VA is not the staffing level, it’s the quality of care and responsiveness. If these additions were put in place address those problems then I’d argue they’re necessary. We made a commitment to our military members when they agreed to the oath of enlistment/office and we aught to live up to that.

The VA doesn’t and shouldn’t have unlimited funds but at the same time, cutting personnel without addressing the core problems seems like it’s only going to make things worse for veterans.
I travel with my laptop a lot, but much prefer a beefy workstation for all the work I do when I get where I'm going. The weight of the laptop is not a big deal, even my big Lenovo P53 (~30mm thick 15.6" black brick) is only 3 kg.

I do use an Osprey 22L hiking backpack for my daily driver, it's got a waist belt to transfer weight to my hips, a chest strap to keep the shoulder straps together, and internal semi-rigid frame... but that's more for all my other stuff, and for activities I do in the woods far from stuff like 'laptop computers'. Even if it's just in a handheld briefcase, 3 kg is not a lot. That's about as much as a water bottle - which I also have in the backpack, as well as a bunch of miscellaneous stuff that also weighs a few kg.

I herniated a disk a couple years ago due to a waterskiing accident, but I've fully recovered and even while dealing with that injury, walking around airports and so forth with any laptop is not not strenuous.

In hindsight, I wish I'd gone for the big P73, I miss the giant 17" screen of my old 40mm thick, 3.5 kg Dell Precision... but the OLED on the P53 is beautiful. 17" UHD OLED when, Lenovo?

My biggest issue is that the current cuts are not being done with any sort of plan beyond "What can I get away with". Hiring at big organizations is complicated and people are not fungible no matter how much companies like Amazon push them to be. Wanting to slash 50k and hire 61k could make total sense if the overlap of skills is limited or non-existent.

I'm pretty left leaning these days, and I'd be fine with cuts, even large cuts around, just with intention and reason behind them. I'm not a fan of the tear it all down that's going on right now.
"Government doesn't work. Here, we'll prove it."

Ever since Reagan said "I think you all know that I've always felt the nine most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the Government, and I'm here to help." there's been a cadre of monied business interests who want to replace all government with "private" services, basically making themselves the new royal families of the US.
Love this! I haven't used Beanhup, but was a user of text based accounting systems (beancount, hledger) for many years to track personal expenses. I stopped doing it when I realized I wasn't getting much out of it, but the knowledge of double-entry accounting still helps me to this day when I keep track of my business expenses in Xero.

One thing which I disagree with in this article is the focus on file based data storage:

> That makes it 10 times harder because you need to parse the text file, update it accordingly, and write it back. But I am glad I did. That guarantees all my accounting books are in the same open format.

This quote captures my issues with it. It just makes things so much more difficult; and it makes the whole process slower as the file grows. I remember that when I used hledger for tracking my expenses over 3 years, I had to "close books" once a year and consolidate all the transactions for the past year into 1 entry in a new ledger file to keep entry/query operations fast.

I get the sentiment; you want open data formats that remain even after your app is shutdown. But you can get the same by using open formats; maybe a sqlite DB is good enough for that?

The only thing that would be more complicated with a DB is versioning & reviewing commits like this app does; which does seem like a very exciting feature.

Gambler wins £1M payout from online game vendor in High Court case
I definitely see your point, it's basically just a flashier resume.

Typically web developers, front end, and full stack have a portfolio. Where most of the reasoning behind it is simply influence from social media where people mention it's a good way to stand out.

From the amount of research I've done trying to find portfolios from back end developers it seems like they don't share the ideology that it's a good thing to have.

I think it might boil down to the possibility that they typically don't have an option to include a "personal website" on a lot of their job applications, that's my reasoning for having a portfolio.
