If you want to get your feet wet with analog electronics, I'd suggest getting an Arduino starter kit, with a breadboard, some components, and a cheap Multimeter and Oscilloscope, and just start playing with things. You can fairly quickly build up an intuition of things if you've got something you can get your hands on.

Once you get the hang of the basics at Audio and low RF frequencies, you can then set up GNU Radio, which works with your audio I/O of your computer, etc.. maybe add a $30 RTLsdr dongle, and the next thing you know, you've got a bit of RF under your belt.
What's weird about the kind of responses in this thread stating "books" or whatever "can also be bad so social media is no different" is that it's not as if we don't already have data about this. We have a lot of data on the outcomes of people that spend time reading books vs people glued to social media, regarding attention spans, etc. The proof is in the eating, we don't have to speculate about hypotheticals.
> I just don’t care enough about school to spend anymore time than what I give.

It sounds like you're wasting your time.

If you're spending the money to get a degree, at least choose one that's worthwhile in that the professors you're paying to hear, the labs you're paying to access, and the environment you're paying to be a part of are all actually helping you to learn something.

> For me, this is because I feel like, particularly in computer science, I have all the necessary skills and knowledge to do what I want.

Go out and do it! Found that startup. Build that MVP. Apply to those jobs! A lot of the life experience you'll pick up while doing that will help you to realize what a treasure a good education can be. And to want that, since it sounds like you're experiencing an absence of that right now.

Your education shouldn't be just a certificate that you know how to develop software. Use it as an opportunity to dive deeply into something you've always been curious about. To absorb knowledge from people who know more than you do.

As you grow older you will realize that time is something that you have less and less of. Both literally and metaphorically. As a student you are in the rare position where you are able to pursue 100% learning about whatever you like. Once you launch your career, the time you can spend on this shrinks by a LOT and you will miss this opportunity if you don't fully take advantage of it.

""Pentagon officials are reviewing an outside proposal to build a defense system using technology from Anduril, Palantir and Elon Musk’s SpaceX, according to people familiar with the matter. The plan is a response to President Trump’s January executive order to develop a next-generation missile defense shield that the administration called the Iron Dome for America, an effort since renamed the “Golden Dome.”
The defense-tech sector’s missile-defense pitch is one of a few options the Defense Department could pursue to meet the president’s requirements, which include a satellite network and space-based interceptors.""

>I wonder how many people have literally been injured or died due to this pursuit for better "design".

One famous example is Anton Yelchin, who played Chekov in the new Star Trek movies. The new Jeep shifter design made it less obvious whether you put it in neutral or park, and so it rolled toward him when he got out and pinned him to death.

The thing is, if you're looking for an obvious effect like the classic psychedelics have, you're going to be disappointed with most mood treatments.

That doesn't mean they don't work--it might be because you didn't measure whether it worked effectively.

A lot of people (but not all people) say that exercise doesn't improve their mood, but when you ask them mood related questions when they aren't thinking about exercise, it becomes clear that exercise massively effects mood.
Given how Chain-of-Thought is being used more and more to improve performance, I wonder if system prompt items like "Give the answer immediately. Provide detailed explanations and restate my query in your own words if necessary after giving the answer" will actually hurt effectiveness of the LLM.
This article seems not bad, but I’m skeptical of the Dynomight author because he previously downplayed the recent rise in homelessness as just returning to 2011 levels. Newer data from late 2024 shows homelessness actually surged 18% to a record high, driven by housing costs, migration, and ending pandemic support - so his earlier analysis missed important trends.

Nobody says that your tools declaration must be hardcoded – you can resolve them at runtime. MCP simply describes convention on how to do it. The benefit is that you can write your own provider this way and if you follow this convention anybody can use it easily similarly to how people can use published packages (npm, python package etc.) that follow their publish/consume conventions.

Their config manifest is like package.json's dependencies.

Their init is like import resolution.

Jsonrpc methods are like exported functions in package.

Json schema declarations are like type declarations (ie. .d.ts) files.

In your config manifest you specify "imports" that llm can use and it handles populating tools - it's like npm for llm sessions.

I would have thought that asking if to be terse, and asking it to provide explanations only after answering the question, would make it worse, because now it has to provide an answer with fewer tokens of thinking.

Next.js is basically designed to run on servers that process one event at a time and in which there are many parallel deployments (ie. 'serverless'). Still, it's shocking just how bad its performance actually is - virtually unusable for anything serious hosted off of Vercel or analogous providers.

It makes sense why it can't be _removed_... it's required for core OS interaction features such as a known-working login portal framework and probably tons of other 'reuse the rendering engine from the browser to display stuff' portions of the shell and settings pages.

I agree it should be part of the composition and review processes.

> It could massively raise the quality level of a lot of papers.

Is there an indication that the difference is 'massive'? For example, reading the OP, it wasn't clear to me how significant these errors are. For example, maybe they are simple factual errors such as the wrong year on a citation.

> They can easily dismiss false positives

That may not be the case - it is possible that the error reports may not be worthwhile. Based on the OP's reporting on accuracy, it doesn't seem like that's the case, but it could vary by field, type of content (quantitative, etc.), etc.
As I said before, there’s nothing wrong with looking at our finances and making cuts to things we think are wasteful. But there’s a right way to do things, and that’s according to law, and with careful exercise.

I just hope you’re not teaching your children that behavior like Musk’s and Trump’s is to be emulated. I fear that more than debt.

> if you don’t find a site on Google, to you, it doesn’t exist

What do you mean "find a site"? Are you saying the user has a website in mind they've visited before? Or are you saying the user doesn't have a website in mind, and is looking for "any website about XYZ?"

I don't think your claim is valid. At what point does the user conclude something "doesn't exist"? Users never reach such a conclusion, in part because Google results tell us "bro, your search returned 480 million results."
Old fashioned people dead centuries ago used formatting for their letters, no reason this is in any way "Internet-quirky", the real internet quirk stems entirely from silly platform constraints
I was the first employee at a company which uses RAG (Halcyon), and I’ve been working through issues with various vector store providers for almost two years now. We’ve gone from tens of thousands to billions of embeddings in that timeframe - so I feel qualified to at least offer my opinion on the problem.

I agree that starting with pgvector is wise. It’s the thing you already have (postgres), and it works pretty well out of the box. But there are definitely gotchas that don’t usually get mentioned. Although the pgvector filtering story is better than it was a year ago, high-cardinality filters still feel like a bit of an afterthought (low-cardinality filters can be solved with partial indices even at scale). You should also be aware that the workload for ANN is pretty different from normal web-app stuff, so you probably want your embeddings in a separate, differently-optimized database. And if you do lots of updates or deletes, you’ll need to make sure autovacuum is properly tuned or else index performance will suffer. Finally, building HNSW indices in Postgres is still extremely slow (even with parallel index builds), so it is difficult to experiment with index hyperparameters at scale.

Dedicated vector stores often solve some of these problems but create others. Index builds are often much faster, and you’re working at a higher level (for better or worse) so there’s less time spent on tuning indices or database configurations. But (as mentioned in other comments) keeping your data in sync is a huge issue. Even if updates and deletes aren’t a big part of your workload, figuring out what metadata to index alongside your vectors can be challenging. Adding new pieces of metadata may involve rebuilding the entire index, so you need a robust way to move terabytes of data reasonably quickly. The other challenge I’ve found is that filtering is often the “special sauce” that vector store providers bring to the table, so it’s pretty difficult to reason about the performance and recall of various types of filters.
They need to take the whole internet down for that :)
It sounds like a strawman argument.

I've only ever heard the argument of keeping the time fixed and then people can wake up earlier or later depending on their personal preference instead of it being coordinated (mandated) by law.
Very interesting problems and satisfying solutions
The current review mechanism is based on how expensive it is to do the review. If it can be done cheaply it can be replaced with a continuous review system. With each discovery previous works at least need adjusted wording. What starts out an educated guess or an invitation for future research can be replaced with or directly linked to newer findings. An entire body of work can simultaneously drift sideways and offer a new way to measure impact.
I could really use objective benchmarks for rules. Mine looked like this at one point, but I'd add more as I noticed cursor's weaknesses, and some would be project specific, and eventually it'd get too long so I'd tear a lot out, not noticing much difference along the way and writing the rules based on intuition.

But even if we had benchmarks before, cursor supports different rules files now in the .rules folder, so back to the drawing board figuring out what works best

It’s not a full 180, you are just viewing a flattened lower dimensional version of what I am saying (I can speculate on the reasons).

Hyperbolic and ridiculous statements include: annexing Greenland by force, annexing Canada at all, permanent significantly higher tariffs on Canada and Mexico

Actual goals: maybe annexing Greenland through pressure tactics, making Canada stop expecting special treatment (the whole annexation thing is just “if you want special treatment, you’re welcome to become a state, otherwise gtfo”), temporary tariffs as a pressure tactic on allies, permanent protectionist tariffs against China and places that launder Chinese goods, America stops interfering in extended family disputes internationally.

For the record I think Trump as a person is a clown and I wish we had serious people as politicians, but it is annoying to see everyone being hysterical all the time over the guy.

I am calling your worldview fairy tale because it moralizes political and international matters. Russia is not evil. America is not good. America is not evil. Russia is not good. These are massive oversimplifications, and it is worryingly reminiscent of war propaganda from old newspapers.

That wouldn’t make it contradictory, it would make “always lying” just as effective a strategy as in the original problem statements. It’s a general problem that “being known to always lie” makes (the goals of) deception harder, and my definition just preserves that problem.
> Who is doing the forcing here? Are you personally volunteering to kill anyone who decided that they wanted to be killed if diagnosed with severe dementia?

I cannot do that because I am not a medical professional and even if I was I wouldn't be the only one making that decision. I do have a lot of respect for the people whose job it is to perform euthanasia. It's not an act of cruelty, but of kindness.

> What if they change their mind (even if no longer of sound mind) and say they no longer want to die? Would you go ahead and kill them anyway?

No euthanasia program is going to kill someone who says they do not wish to die. The moral hazard mainly comes from when they are no longer able to express their wish. Then the decision is based on the wish expressed when they were still able and the wish of family members.

This is not all too different from someone who has suffered severe brain damage and is kept alive on life support. Would you keep them alive until they die of old age or would you respect the family's wish to stop treatment? People with severe dementia may not be on a breathing apparatus, but they also cannot survive without the constant support of hospice care.

But cases where the person can no longer express their wish are exceptional. It is often that their wish to end their suffering is so strong that they will stop eating to hasten their demise. What would you do in that situation? Would you forcibly feed them through a tube because you do not believe they are allowed to determine the manner of their death? Or would you simply ignore their suffering as they die a slow and agonizing death from malnutrition? This is what I mean when I say that you would be forcing someone to suffer.
I don't disagree with your main point, but the plural of anecdote is data. Phenomena exists before the related studies do.

The link you provided goes on to say:

> Antidepressants also affect the balance of neurotransmitters such as serotonin. Popular antidepressants called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors increase levels of serotonin in the brain. The labels of SSRIs such as Celexa and Prozac warn patients not to drink alcohol while on the drugs. If you shouldn’t drink with antidepressants, you probably shouldn’t drink with 5-HTP.

> The effects of mixing 5-HTP and alcohol on serotonin levels are not fully understood. However, both substances alter serotonin levels, which may increase the risk of developing serotonin syndrome. This life-threatening condition is caused by the accumulation of too much serotonin in the body. Serotonin syndrome can cause confusion, agitation, sweating, coordination loss, fever and seizure.
Currently we seem to have more comments in favor of DST (notably, they take a contrarian position). It is sort of funny that hating these times shifts has become so obvious a take that few bother making it, and that many preemptively rebut.

If the hazard is "a production shell with unrestricted privileges", then won't "elimination" mean "don't give people production shells"? This can be achieved by many ways, such as pre-made queries (with new queries that could only be added vi a PR/review process), better observability, using IaaC like terraform, etc...

Instead, the author says "we could eliminate the production environment or we could eliminate the database" which really makes no sense.

Americans didn't elect him because they believed anything he said. They were basically paying as little attention as they possibly could and have no idea what he has ever said about anything - if you go and read interviews with swing voters they just have entirely imaginary ideas of what he's like.

The only thing they remember is he was president in 2019. They don't reliably know who it was in 2020/2021 though.

(I think the fixed-term strong presidential system is essentially unfixable here. The country needs snap elections.)
