Amazing write up thank you. If you haven’t already tried you may enjoy the how other dad’s dad podcast by Hamish Blake. It definitely has some things in it which may change your perspective.
Their primary measures of group and individual performance are ratings of "quality", "novelty", etc. by technical and business experts on a ten point scale.

So people working with LLM bots can improve ratings of their producy R&D work product by professional peers. That's an interesting finding.

Of course professionals can be wrong in their assessment of how market actors will value their peers' work.
Sleep and also the right amount of apigenin do the trick. Apigenin didn't seem good to take in the daytime though, as it cause slight fog, but that's not an issue at nighttime. Note that chamomile has apigenin glycoside which is independently beneficial.

In the daytime, during office hours, it can be very beneficial to take a 20-30 minute nap at lunchtime if remote. If in office, it can be beneficial to sit quietly in a phone booth with noise cancelation and with your eyes closed for 20-30 minutes, doing some basic focused body relaxation.
Good.

Facebook likely knew she was pregnant by covertly eavesdropping on her life via her phones microphone. When these companies started using their apps to eavesdrop on your entire life via your phone, I immediately deleted them. No way is that creeptastic shit allowed in my life. I mean, imagine talking about doritos in a nostalgic context only to have amazon suggest you buy them when you open the app. Deleted. The only apps on my phone are banking and utility. Bye Felicia.
Oh god, it even says right there:

Well played! I guess I got too excited at the possibility of such a tool existing.
I think the misguided belief that `./` means 'execute script' or something (program that isn't 'installed'?) is single-handedly to blame for so much script spaghetti.
Entity matching is way easier in the age of LLMs. Not like Amazon is lacking the compute or abilities. So yes, do that, find out who is selling what.
Run a fake version of the API server, and then connect the real client to it. It is usually a mistake to make the "unit" of your unit test too small.
Subject filtering is already quite powerful. What else were you thinking of?
I'm not going to lie, this is what I feel work from home and distributed teams has made hardest.

It's not that it can't be overcome, but it has to be done intentionally rather than organically. And that's a whole task a manager needs to add to their list of responsibilities.

Never thought of that before.
I used this to onboard to the PyTorch team a few years ago. It’s useful for understanding the key concepts of the framework. Torch.compile isn’t covered but the rest of it is still pretty relevant.
Thank you! The original blog post sets up a story and then gives no ending.

I'm not "engineering" anything - I'm just stopping a service. I close the account, or disable billing, or whatever that step requires. I don't even read the data back out or anything - just cancel. Doesn't really require "engineering".
Ok I got it, I owe to donut vendors too.
Interesting, I wonder how much of the value of team+AI is the sense of constant momentum and progress. In my experience the utility of vibecoding is overrated BUT the utility of having a constant, enthusiastic, broadly-knowledgable assistant is underrated. I've been moving a lot faster with the help of AI but it's almost entirely acting as a "super rubber duck" that helps me explore ideas or overcome roadblocks simply by being there and mildly helpful. This compounds when working on a team; because I'm making progress, other people are excited and try to make progress, which makes me excited, etc.

> What amazes me more is the comment section—full of people waxing nostalgic for architectures they clearly never had to ship stable software on.

Isn't it much more plausible that the people who love to play with exotic (or also retro), complicated architectures (with in this case high performance opportunities) are different people than those who love to "set up or work in an assembly line for shipping stable software"?

> I really believe I need to spend 2-weeks requiring students write code on an Amiga, and the programs have to run at the same time. If anyone of them crashes, they all will fail my course. A new found appreciation may flourish.

I rather believe that among those who love this kind of programming a hate for the incompetent fellow student will happen (including wishes that these become weed out by brutal exams).
Honestly? Your comment makes me feel like I'm in a Curb your enthusiasm show.

Except I'm not and much more clever people are working this brand new world, and I really hope they get it right.
I was about to say that it is literally just Jax.

It genuinely deserves to exist alongside pytorch. It's not just Google's latest framework that you're forced to use to target TPUs.
But without the CPSC that safety equipment might not be safe at all. And elimination what Amazon is arguing for.
Exactly. If you make the regulations cover a wider range of products, the only response is to ban those products from sale.

If the regulations cover everything, well then either the marketplaces all shut down or they cost $10 per listing and require you to agree to a lot of legal consequences if you provide wrong info in your listing.

Ideas like this only sound good to people who imagine no consequences will ever reach them, just billion dollar corporations.
I read another article by this author recently it wasn’t impressed, but this is a pretty impressive piece.

The one thing I wish the author went into is the piece: Why is it that people dismissed Hitler with their stereotype of “the small man“ ?

I would argue that it was because of confirmation biases and an overwhelming sense that everyone saw the world the same way that they did, and anyone who did not was not worth taking seriously. They saw the benefits of individual rights, liberalism and socialism.

This is especially important because Hitler’s appeal was rooted and rejecting the international order. Rejecting how far Europe in general, and Germany in particular had fallen.

He saw how the economic order that was so catastrophic to the Germans and connected with Germans who were already disenchanted with liberal and press elites.

The fact that he really did not have any solutions other than scapegoating and war for each of those things didn’t really matter because he saw and tapped into anger that others ignored. That made them adore him.

I think the Hitler and Trump comparisons are catastrophic bad and misplaced (you can easily convince me of more parallels to Mussolini) - but in this sense, I think ithe comparison here makes easier to understand why Trump supporters see the bile and disregard that the media and political opponents as badges of honor - they increase, not decrease their adoration of him.
Yeah, but to be honest it seems like a reasonable eval. Having to actually launch these products into the market would introduce a lot of confounders!
For someone it might help: If you are having trouble reading long articles, try text-to-audio with line highlight. It helps a lot. It has cured my lack of attention.
Yes, I paid for some. Your point is...?
Alpine docker images only come with dash instead of bash, which _may_ run your sh script, but test thoroughly. Or just install bash.

FWIW, Darwin/macOS is especially guilty of gobsmackingly ancient coreutils that don’t support long option variants.
"should be" is fine, right until Microsoft's lawyers show up at your door and you get to hire representation to defend yourself.
Well sure I'm not saying it should've won the case, I just wish the claim was a bit different. (Or at least, than represented by the BBC, I haven't actually read it. If it was more about the data, then I wish the article would've done a better job so that more laypeople object to the right aspect.)
If they store the product and know what it is. Yes.

Maybe Amazon can compromise. They can stop selling their own things on their platform.
Nice dig at the supreme court on their payments page. Kurt hasn't lost his mojo.

Plenty of people make a business out of advertising on those platforms, so I don't see why not.

You could make an argument that Facebook doesn't really sort or categorise products by their properties, but eBay definitely does. You could also make an argument that Facebook isn't a middle man in the transaction because payment doesn't go through Facebook (unless you pick a payment option that does, of course).

I think you can defend Facebook Marketplace, but not eBay. When I use eBay, I don't wire money to John Stevens, I pay eBay directly.

eBay wants a cut, that means eBay gets part of the responsibilities too. Not for everything, of course, and they can always hold the seller accountable when those responsibilities become a problem.
This seems to be about

> Even more odd you're mentioning shipbuilding an industry that use to have its workers centrally planned by the US government to provide educated skilled labor but was killed off in the 80s by the pro-corpo Reagan admin.

It was killed off by the Jones Act, which "shielded" us from having to be competitive. Tariffs are one lever for establishing fractional protectionism, but the Jones Act was absolute. It essentially turned our industry into the Dodo with no competitive exposure.

> You're blaming workers for trying to protect their jobs when the issue is that capital is too powerful and needs to be regulated more.

The rest of the world is already getting really good at film and entertainment. We're no longer in a blessed position of being number one with a wide margin, and our goods have to compete in a worldwide marketplace. You want to make our product even more expensive to produce at a time when it should be getting cheaper? That's literally going to kill our industry. And then those people will have nowhere to work anyway.

> regulate companies harsher while giving more protections to workers.

This kills the companies, and then there are no jobs.

Companies don't exist to provide jobs. Companies exist to create value for those buying their goods and services. The minute companies stop being about that, they get out-competed.

Jobs and the nature of work changes all the time. Regulations and unions make companies stagnant and ossified. When they're put into straight jackets, they can't move nimbly enough to provide value.

If you want unions, then you must also be a big fan of tariffs. Because switching to domestic only production and keeping our entire market isolationist is the only way an expensive and inflexible labor equation works out. It's big fish, small pond thinking rather than small fish, big pond. (Or actually giant fish, big pond - which is what we are, but will cease to be if we keep shooting ourselves in the foot.)

Do you want to allow affordable and advanced BYD cars into the American market? They weren't produced with unionized labor. Their employees are working their asses off. What do you think that'll do?

What about production companies, some foreign capital financed, that hire American actors and fly them to a cheap Asian or Eastern European country to be filmed with cheap local crew labor? How do we stack up against that? Do we need more unions?
By that argument the regulations shouldn’t cover anything? It would make a lot more products available to more people, after all. And maybe cheaper?

I used Craigslist and FB marketplace and equivalents for a while for a lot of things.

The average listing is garbage. Devoid of useful information. You have to know exactly what you’re looking for and search broadly because people don’t make an effort to describe things.

LLMs absolutely will not solve this. If the only details are “table saw” and a dimly lit picture of a dust-covered table saw that looks like any number of generic table saws, AI isn’t helping you.
That just kinda follows from democracy. Principles are for voters. Elected officials do what they think the voters want (as affirmed by getting re-elected). If they went back to first principles, and disagreed with their constituents, they'd lose.

The closest thing you get to principles are civil servants, who are hired for their domain expertise. But voters grumble because those civil servants aren't elected; they are basically self propagating by hiring their successors.

That actually used to kinda work. There was enough inertia to keep elections from making everything about people's moods, and enough input from Congress, SCOTUS, and POTUS to keep it competent.

But the mood has shifted to extreme distrust of those institutions. So they're getting wiped out in one fell swoop. There is a principle in place, but it's the principle that the government itself is irreparable.
Hmmm... I can't open the link because it seems that taxfoundation.org is blocked by at least three pi-hole-style filter lists.
This comment made me realize something. There’s always been grumbling in the academic community about how negative or less exciting results aren’t publishable. As a result, there is quite a bit of knowledge that is essentially “lost” as no one ever bothers to write it down. Part of the reason this happens is that publishing unexciting results is unhelpful professionally, but I suspect another aspect here is that researchers know that no one would read such results; it is hard enough to keep up with the positive results in the field, much less negative results. So, in that sense they are not “contributing to the sum total of human knowledge”, which I think is a major part of many scientists’ motivations.

So then, in a world where the outcomes of all experiments could be reasonably fed into an AI model, it seems that there could be a great deal of value in having scientists publish these “low value” negative results, even in a relatively informal format (i.e. not worrying about formatting, perhaps skipping peer review, etc.). That way even if a human never reads the paper, at the very least an AI “scientist” model would pick it up.

I don’t think you can professionally incentivize this. Rather, scientists would need to do this out of the desire to contribute to the sum total of human knowledge, which could be embodied and not forgotten by these scientist AI’s.
If you could elaborate a bit with why do you feel that way, it would help me glean some insight after comparing with the experience at my workplace. We face double challenge because English is not our first language.
I respect this project from the technical perspective, but can anyone tell me what it is actually good for? What is your use case for ReactOS?

To me it seems like "Windows, but open-source", which sounded cool, so I installed it on a virtual machine, then tried to install Firefox on it... nope, the current versions of Firefox are not supporting this... but luckily there is an old version of Firefox provided with the system... but when I try to download something from SourceForge, the website rejects the old Firefox... so I gave up.

Did anyone have better luck, or a different approach?
Here I'm talking about our integration, which means full audit of what's possible in a simple POC, then a more involved look to see how we can integrate it nicely in the Proxmox VE stack, from low level QEMU to the REST API and its ACL system.

We started evaluation a few weeks ago in combination with the QEMU display work, which is still experimental and was initially announced mid-January this year, so we're still at the POC stage and thus this work will be a bit more time. I did nowhere say that IronRDP will need more time.

And FWIW, without an integrated approach RDP gains you almost nothing over plain VNC if you have only the reduced interfaces and access from outside the VM, so using something like IronRDP earlier on its own would not have gained us much besides an extra component to maintain, that's why we did not checked out integration earlier.
No, I couldn't handle the mountains of roundworm and bacteria infested piss and shit in the ceilings where they set up a latrine. I couldn't handle the trails of blood throughout the building from their fighting. I couldn't handle shooting rabies/distemper infected raccoons when they stumbled up behind me while I was working.

After I sealed up the building and knocked down the shrubbery, they just walked a mile down the road to the nearest wooded area and set up shop there. They're fine, man.

You're being awfully snide for somebody who very clearly has no idea what you're talking about. You wouldn't tolerate raccoons where you live for a second if you realized what letting them do whatever they want actually entails.

This sort of cutthroat litigation is getting too much. Once upon a time corprations actually did stuff when told by government. If a product or service was declared dangerous, it stopped. If a regulator said every room needed a fire extinguisher, the company bought fire extinguishers. Now, every little thing becomes a case for the supreme court, often literally. Insist that safety signs be in spanish? Thats heading to scotus as a profound constitutional crisis at the root of democracy, "Stop selling bombs" ... well that impacts state's rights to regulate non-lethal weapons. Im all for testing constitutionality, but this isnt about that. This is about delaying each and every tiny reg because doing so saves a buck on next week's earnings report. I dont like seeing constitutional issues used as a cover for blatant penny pinching. Amazon sells stuff. Like every other "person" selling stuff they have an obligation not to sell dangerous stuff. It isnt right that they can ignore every warning as they wait out 10+ years of litigation.

How about this: Dont think this is constitutional? How about every profit derived from the sale of anything dangerous be put in escrow until the litigation is over? Many states do this with traffic tickets.
So uh... I read a third of that, knowing roughly how the rest will go, based only on the context of the thread.

However in the back of my mind I know Dan Luu is preserving it for a reason. And I don't know if that's explained later, or whatever; what I do know is Dan Luu has pointed on awe that most fs don't error correctly on write failures - as an example.

As in, that isn't even implemented in some fs drivers.

So the very idea that somehow Postgres can do direct IO and it magically gets better - to me that's the joke Dan Luu sees. Maybe.

That Craig person, the OP in the thread. Imagine doing all that work, having other people say, hey, that's an issue; and then all the people saying "so what" or "nothing can be done"

Amazing. I'll have to read the rest a bit later.
agreee except if people asking for things from the Government… - in this case they are asking Government to butt out :)
This is hyperbole. It took China until a few years ago to be able to fully control crypto mining which was happening at industrial scale in China. My guess is that the Chinese accepted the draconian one child policy because the famine collectively affected them. They do not accept a lot of other things and the state is not as powerful as you think it is.

Another case is covid. The state tried to maintain the lockdown (which was partially supported by some of the population) but at a certain point they can no longer maintain the dissatisfaction and had to fully open back up.
FB marketplace listings are free and for a single item.

Ads are paid and meant to run for a very long time.

They’re not comparable in any way. If you forced marketplace sellers to the same review standards as ad buyers, it would become expensive and difficult to list things. The number of listings would collapse. People would be frustrated because they can’t buy cheap things second hand like they did in the past.
> like if Facebook marketplace sellers were required to collect your information and register you as the buyer

Where did you take that from? None of the notifications need to come from the seller directly to the buyer.

The news division of the Post is still more or less reputable. Their worst failings are by omission, what they choose not to cover.

It's much like the Wall Street Journal, which is a highly regarded source of information packaged with an editorial page that reads like 4chan.

Just to drop another two cents in here - I feel like code-first is great when it's a solo project or very experimental, but when you're working on a larger team, or more to the point, working with other teams, spec-first is invaluable.

You can publish a working spec long before worrying about any sort of technical implementation, which means you can get feedback from the other teams involved, which can save an immense amount of time. Additionally, the other team can start working from your clear spec sooner, so you unblock them, AND there are all kinds of great mocking tools to fake your api until it's actually done. Oh, and there are libraries that can check your requests/responses in your tests, to ensure you're keeping to the agreed-on spec, so it makes tests more valuable and easier to write, too!

Honestly, even with all that, I wasn't sold on spec first at first because authoring OpenAPI specs SUCKS. It's such a verbose and hard to read and write format. But then I found TypeSpec, and I haven't looked back. I'm converted our existing specs to TypeSpec and they're half the size or less (usually way less). This is easier to write, but critically, easier to read, which makes PRs against a spec a lot more understandable and meaningful.

If you've ever been on the fence about spec-driven development, give TypeSpec a try. It was a real game changer for me.

I think you misunderstand what a neuro-symbolic programming language (like Scallop) is for.

It's not about performance, but safety.

Making safe decisions becomes exponentially more important as ML / agents evolve, to avoid "performant" but ultimately inefficient/dangerous/wasteful inferences.
