It solved piles of papers and faxes for inter-office memoranda. It solved a 2-week delay for communications with customers (everything from “your order has been placed” to “you still owe us money” to “here’s our christmas catalog”). Email solved the problem of the physical post being (comparatively) expensive and slow.
I think it's fine that some things just disappear with the sands of time. Not everything needs to be preserved.
There are schools that use placement exams to place new students into their first course level, partly because there is inconsistency between grades from different high-schools, and even standardized test scores aren't amazing predictors of college course performance (they are correlated, just not as much as we'd like). The school I teach at does this, and we often place students who got as high as a 4 on their AP Calc AB exam back into introductory calculus to take again.

GP seemed to be talking more about a qualifying exam at the beginning of every course. I don't think that will ever happen mostly because of what you stated as, "the graduation delays that remediation adds." Can you imagine how long it would take average students to graduate, or the dropout rate, if we made each student pass a placement exam before every course? We couldn't implement this without a radical change to how universities work.
Right, you're looking for things that work at the scale of 100k separate files or so. Moreover you seem pretty used to getting bad recommendations, and I know the feeling. Important caveat is that all I know about these are what I've chatgpt'd about them.

There's the aforementioned DupeGuru program which is cross platform and wields a handful of algorithms. Then there's aHash (average hash), dHash (difference hash) , and pHash (perceptual hash). They each make assumptions about which subset of image data is important, pull it out, compare it, and are meant to do it quickly and at large scales. They are all accessible from within Pythons' imagehash library and require getting your hands dirty with python. My understanding is that Dupeguru uses its own custom perceptual hashing methods.

And although it seems like you need something more specific, the very very lazy choice is md5 sum comparison which is super fast but is only testing whether files are identical copies.

> When the tornado comes whipping through your neighborhood and your house gets blown down and somehow you didn’t have insurance and you lose everything, you can’t control that. But you can certainly control how you’re gonna react to that situation.

Neither of these two things are really true. It sounds like it should be true, but it really isn't. Why didn't you have insurance? Why are there more destructive tornadoes? If my house is trashed, at a reflexive simple human level, I'm pissed, depressed, anxious - take your pick of emotions. No amount of stoicism, short of super maximum foo level is going to change that. Nor, should it. That stuff isn't a movie about overcoming obstacles, as an individual with super-human fortitude. It's a trashed house and a whole boat load of expense, and more.

Why is that quote in the piece? I don't get the analogy.

A Constitution ought to put forward key things. It is not to cover everything and anything. Such a key piece of legislation should be kept concise and understandable.

The US Constitution is understandable. Magna Carta is understandable. The 1798 "Declaration of the Right of Man and of the Citizen" (still part of the French Constitution) is understandable.

Imagine if you will, a team tasked with building widgets. That means designing the widget, the mechanisms to fabricate widgets from input materials, and building those mechanisms to then build the widgets.

You could do this with a team of two people, the engineer and machinist. The engineer spends their time at the drawing board and handing designs to the machinist to fabricate. The machinist is probably going to run into problems, or there are problems with what is fabricated and the engineer needs to go back to the drawing board. It's an iterative process.

Now imagine those widgets are software. Historically we call both the engineer and machinist "software engineers" or "developers" and might call the first one "senior" or "architect" or something like that. Since we don't need a human being to physically operate machinery it seems like using AI agents would be the an ideal place to replace the software machinist.

However there's a problem - the engineer/machinist duo works not because the machinist is an engineer but somehow worse; they have different skillsets and the engineer is going to get immediate feedback from the machinist that a design is going to work or not. The engineer/machinist divide works because the machinist can say "nah."

AI agents today don't have that ability. You can tell them to do things that are impossible, or they will make shit up. Without the ability to check for validity or preemptively avoid mistakes, vibe coding is just shitty software development. If and when that problem is cracked then the concept of a software machinist will be obsoleted.

Only way for someone like you is to tap into your network. If you have done 15+ years along with stints at Google etc, you must have worked with various people over these years and many of them may be in positions of authority. If you are looking to compete otherwise, there are 100 others like you who want the same thing. Just trying to give you an honest opinion.

Leveraging existing network is a given, but feels like I'm hitting a wall."

Why is that ? Think about where the roadblock is with your network and work on that. It is going to be very difficult to get huge consulting rates being in a far away timezone unless the clients already know you.
At this level, it is very contextual - depending on your tools, prompts, language, libraries, and the whole code base. For example, for one project, I am generating ggplot2 code in R; Claude 3.5 gives way better results than the newer Claude 3.7.

My unfounded belief is that the environment is changing dramatically, and will continue to change. And not because of AI. The reason is that the current internet business model if depleted. Users are weary of the lack of reasonable stuff on the internet. Personally, I use my browser less and less each day. It has become, in my opinion, pretty much a wasteland.

Given that situation, what can you do? One could just change careers. Or perhaps consider why things are this way. One path would be diagnose the current situation. Beginning with the predominant internet business model - tracking users. The number of obvious problems with this is large. I once read (not sure where) that the customer of the internet is advertisers, not users.

Things will now quickly get worse in this version of the internet. The prey (users) will now be inundated with generated content.

Yeah, yeah, I know this is dark and you don't want to read it.

However, perhaps if we consider what it is possible to do with the internet if it wasn't so polluted there is quite a bright light. Fundamentally the internet provides an enhanced way for people to interact and communicate. There are indeed examples of this happening.

I sometimes think We people are in a situation similar to a prehistoric culture that finds a steel axe. So we go around hacking everything in sight. But of course the thing about the axe is the metallurgy.

Currently it appears to me that we have pretty much hacked everything to death with the internet and created a very nice waste land. Here's looking at you Google!!! So perhaps time to consider the equivalent of the metallurgy.

> Such a weird take for both because there does seem to be a sweet middle ground.

Having been burned by Copilot in the past I started researching and using alternatives. Continue was nice for a while because it allowed using Claude and at that time was better at feeding the LLM good context from your codebase. I started using Cursor + Claude 3.7 not too long ago and, while a definite upgrade from Copilot, I still saw glaring issues with what it generated. Writing project rules has helped immensely with this and has crystallized what I believe the SOTA of LLM-assisted development to be for the foreseeable future (i.e. if the assumptions about the limitations of current LLM architectures hold true). To your point, I think

> a sweet middle ground

will end up involving developers bootstrapping LLM-read rules according to project architecture and specifications while they build out the foundation and initial features. This will then allow devs to crank out bounded contexts while they spend the long tail stitching them together as they focus on the problem domain. "Vibe coding" as practiced by influencers is nothing more than a quicker, sexier version of the StackOverflow copy/paste programmer archetype that's been around for the last 20 years. Similarly, "agentic" platforms that allow an LLM to regurgitate whatever it wants while it throws spaghetti at a terminal to debug are just automatic versions of developers that paste entire stack traces into Google. Developers on the opposite end of the spectrum who care enough to review the LLM's work and, more importantly, refine it as they go will be rewarded handsomely.

Either way it's safe to say that Microsoft has gotten a good kick in the pants over the last year or so as the tooling in this space has improved. I'm pretty optimistic about the future after having seen such large dividends from my efforts to go beyond just tabbing and Cmd+I'ing my way through LLM assistance.

More or less just like Wi-Fi.

Your wi-fi access point takes electrical signals coming from something else, like a router, and turns them into radio waves that are captured by the antenna on your phone or computer. This is, then, fed to the Wi-Fi controller on your phone or computer which translates these transmissions back into electrical signals.

Loads of math are involved in getting it right, but that's the gist of it.

> A Note On Web Applications Added to the Home Screen

> As mentioned, the seven-day cap on script-writable storage is gated on “after seven days of Safari use without user interaction on the site.” That is the case in Safari. Web applications added to the home screen are not part of Safari and thus have their own counter of days of use. Their days of use will match actual use of the web application which resets the timer. We do not expect the first-party in such a web application to have its website data deleted.

I'm glad to know that this isn't [entirely] destroying the concept of webpages acting in an app-like manner. At least this gives the developer and user some ability to give permission for actually persistent storage.

Every parent exercises some form of control over their child. (Cookie before dinner? No, sorry.) Children need to learn boundaries and it's up to the parents to set those boundaries. It's basic parenting, and isn't as nefarious as you're making it out to be.

In my experience this is untrue. I grew up when TV was the primary medium of household entertainment, and yet I was the sole child in my class, and probably my whole school, to not have at TV at home (a deliberate choice on my parents' part). Now that I'm grown up, I'm thankful for it.

Exactly —

We combine the flexibility of an LLM with a structured layer of expert-driven decision trees and psychological frameworks. This hybrid approach lets us preserve nuance and personalization while maintaining safety, boundaries, and clinical integrity.

The decision tree layer is used both to steer responses contextually and to define escalation protocols (e.g., for suicidal ideation, PTSD triggers, or crisis states). It’s informed by standardized practices like CBT, trauma therapy, and psychological first aid, co-developed with our licensed psychologists.

So yes — think of it as an LLM augmented by a domain-specific expert system, designed for real-world psychological use.

Meh, real-time reflectance functions are still going to be all sorts of approximations. To say nothing about stuff like real global illumination.

Oh yes, there is portable gaming happening outside, that's for sure. My point is that's a minority of the actual portable gaming. People typically have more free time at home, and there is less of a barrier to play games when not in public, and less distractions.

Well, one approach is to team up with a consultant/contractor in the US. Preferably someone you know personally that will not skim off too much. This reduces the risk for the clients, as they have a US party as the legal contractor, don't have to do international payments, etc.

Of course, usually that kind of business is started by the guy in the place with the clients. It doesn't have to be huge body shop, in fact the smaller, the better they have to treat you. My previous company used such a contractor (notionext.com). I don't know how easy it is to leverage yourself into having direct clients; probably quite hard.

The builtin rating is absolutely horseshit, that needs to go. If I want my TL;DR (summary) to contain opinions, I go read the news.

I don't understand how a website telling me that Facebook has a "Grade E" ToS is supposed to help me at all. Just give me a summary, the bullet points -- you don't need to try to assign each into "good/bad", and you certainly don't need to run an "algorithm" to show me if it's good or bad.

Chances are, if it says "sells all your data", I can figure out if I care about that, as a user, with freedom.

Maybe give me what you think (or your algorithm thinks) are the most important/controversial/impactful points, but don't rate them. This is akin to Wikipedia saying "Friday is the worst song ever created, wow it's so bad (thumbs down emoji)".
