I’m a Typescript dev but this book is one of my favorite architecture books, I reference it all the time. My favorite pattern is the fake unit of work/service patterns for testing, I use this religiously in all my projects for faking (not mocking!!) third party services. It also helped me with dilemmas around naming, eg it recommends naming events in a very domain specific way rather than infrastructure or pattern specific way (eg CART_ITEM_BECAME_UNAVAILABLE is better than USER_NOTIFICATION). Some of these things are obvious but tedious to explain to teammates, so the fact that cosmic python is fully online makes it really easy to link to. Overall, a fantastic and formative resource for me!

Listened to an interview on The Majority Report about "The Abundance Agenda" with Paul Glastris who argues that YIMBYism angers the locals and is of limited effectiveness compared to, say, re-zoning commercial districts which leads to the greatest number of housing units built. There's a lot more in the interview... Interesting and relevant to this chat:

I don't recall seeing a USB keyboard in a laptop (admittedly I don't do that for a living at any rate). Even backlights tend to be separate pwm lines.
It also make sense as USB would require a controller on the keyboard side.
I was "warned" for mirroring Oracle RDMS documentation that the course used. Subsequently, they ditched the commercial solution and replaced it with Postgres.

They also migrated from using MINIX 2 as a teaching OS to FreeBSD.
The Republican party has a grassroots vs. establishment dynamic going on. The Democratic party has no such thing. In the Democratic party the elders decide who's going to run in the primaries and they body out any challengers -- "wait your turn" they get told, and then they do. I'm not talking about presidential elections or even congressional ones. I'm talking about local politics. If you're an outside and you want to run for office you have a much better chance on the R side than the D side.
The reason that keeps me on Windows, is that you left out of your list gaming and 3D graphics on laptops.

Metal isn't really on pair with Vulkan and DirectX in terms of relevance for graphics programming, the M chips aren't up to NVidia ecosystem, SYCL, the two major compute APIs for any kind of relevant GPGPU workloads, and thus don't really matter.

And gaming, well, even though all major engines support Metal, there is a reason DirectX porting kit is now a thing.

So why pay more for a lesser experience, and then there is the whole issue macOS doesn't have native support for containers, like Windows does (their own ones), and WSL is better integrated and easier to use than Virtualization Framework.
I'm amazed that these people have no advisors briefing them about Jet Stream collapse or the release of methane as permafrost melts etc. No one's gonna be mining anything up there and if they are there won't be much of a market anywhere to sell it in.

Well in very practical terms, it gives you a way to name things you see in the forest, to figure out what is edible, and to understand what has a sentience of its own, similar to yours.

I don’t mean to be snarky, but it seems like you’re very removed from the reality of normal people and parents out there.

They were successful in taming Japan. I guess, a good chunk of the government thought they could do the same with China? But again, it’s been more than two decades now, the people who made that decision probably don’t have a major stake in the game anymore.

It’s all conjectures, I’m not American (have relatives over there though, so have to keep up with the news), and not enough skin in the game. Just sad to see, as I’ve met incredible people throughout different parts of America.
One of the great wonders of clustering algorithms is that no matter what k > n you choose, you can construct k clusters. Then we can argue about the clusters and about k. It is said that when Humanity discovers the One True K, the taxonomy will disappear and be replaced by a different one.
It's a constant battle and there are no silver bullets. Here are a few things that have helped me:

* Eat, sleep and exercise. Have you ever snapped at someone you love because you were really really tired? You have less ability to control your emotions if you aren't on top of these things. When task planning it's easy to think only about the task at hand, but scheduling time to rest, go for a walk or have a snack can be helpful.

* Putting some 'distance' between myself and the task, however small or artificial. Often, I start writing an important email in a text editor instead of an email client. It just feels less 'real' and that reduces my anxiety and resistance. I wonder if doing a practice version of a task could help?

* Adding some kind of physical motion to a task. For example, if I'm sitting at my desk and I need to fill in a form, it always seems easier if I've come from just tidying up rather than another stationary task. Making tasks more physical seems to help.

* Naming the reason why I'm not doing a task can sometimes help but other times not. Saying "I'm feeling overwhelmed with this task" is 50/50 on whether it'll help or make me feel even worse.

* Usually when I'm feeling really stuck I know exactly what I need to do. I know that I haven't opened that email in my inbox. I could easily spend a week thinking about it hundreds of times but never actually doing it. I don't think a reminder or a nudge would help me, because I'm already constantly reminding myself. The times I find reminders and nudges helpful are when I can complete the task right then and there with little resistance. For example: If I put a drink in the freezer to cool it down quickly, I always set a timer. When the time off the task of removing the drink has no stress or anxiety, so I always do it. If I don't set the timer I am very likely to forget the drink. I have tried setting reminders and timers for tasks that I procrastinate on but it never really works. If a task is overwhelming you now and you delay it by 1 hour or 1 day, it's probably still going to overwhelm you later.
I think most of this is just downstream of the Mac being eclipsed by the iPhone in terms of Apple’s revenue. The Mac just isn’t critical to Apple’s business like it was in 2009 when Snow Leopard came out. They would have started development on SL in 2008, when the iPhone was still a fairly niche product and there wasn’t even an App Store.

Now, ios gets the executive attention and it will generally get the best developers assigned to it, and the Mac has to live with the scraps.
And they were right, right? They recognized it had structural faults that made it possible for bad data to sip in. The same is valid for LLMs: they have structural faults.

So what is your point? You seem to have placed assumptions there. And broad ones, so that differences between the two things, and complexities, the important details, do not appear.
Ketamine implies Musk which implies DOGE.

It’s a play on the rumours that Musk abuses his ketamine prescription. Note that I’m not advocating for the rumours. Merely explaining.

I’ve been using Claude a lot lately, and I must say I very much disagree.

For example, the other day I was chatting with it about the health risks associated with my high consumption of grown salmon. It then generated a small program to simulate the accumulation of PCB in my body. I could review the program, ask questions about the assumptions, etc. It all seemed very reasonable. A toxicokinetic analysis it called it.

It then struck me how immensely valuable this is to a curious and inquisitive mind. This is essentially my gold standard of intelligence: take a complex question and break it down in a logical way, explaining every step of the reasoning process to me, and be willing to revise the analysis if I point out errors / weaknesses.

Now try that with your doctor. ;)

Can it make mistakes? Sure, but so can your doctor. The main difference is that here the responsibility is clearly on you. If you do not feel comfortable reviewing the reasoning then you shouldn’t trust it.

The name "sgnly" makes me think it is an electronic signing service, but from your description it seems it converts documents into templates (and partially fills them?). Perhaps consider a name change?
Every developer I've ever worked with have gotten things wrong. Whether you call that hallucinating or not is irrelevant. What matters is the effort it takes to fix.

> I wonder how the US military will react when they will be ordered to attack a previously friendly nation like Canada or Greenland, or to help and support a previous enemy like Russia in its wars against Europe.

I wonder how they'll react when ordered to attack American citizens on American soil just because they offended Trump's fragile ego or psychotic xenophobia. Judges, journalists, protestors, "gays", anyone with brown skin? Here's hoping they'll refuse, but who really knows for sure?

Why, tho? I'm european and english in IT is a godsend. It's the single most important reason why remote work with teams all over the world works. Not to mention the vast amounts of documentation that you miss out on if sticking to your own language. There's a place for national identity and language preserving, but coding isn't one of them, IMO.
I think they mean vastly reduced in size and scope by DOGE, since Mr Musk is apparently doing all of his government work in a state of ketamine induced mania.
It does indeed! One of my favourite iOS keyboard features.
It's extremely risky to keep using OpenOffice. Apache has marked its security status as "Amber" with "three issues in OpenOffice over 365 days old and a number of other open issues not fully triaged."

It's also worrying that The Apache Foundation continues to promote and distribute OpenOffice despite unfixed security issues and zero updates to the software. So many people in the FOSS world have called on them to finally retire it, put it in the Attic and keep up a good reputation for FOSS - but they won't do it. It still gets hundreds of thousands of downloads despite being unfixed.

It's irresponsible of The ASF IMO.

The key thing would be the government finally go and improve the situation around mental health care accessibility and a proper social safety net.

People don't fall for drugs on their own - the utter, utter majority fall for drugs to self-medicate for whatever crisis they're facing. Be it perspectivelessness, losing a family member or one's job - across the Western world, governments have completely given up supporting people who hit a rough patch in life, and now it's a situation that is very, very hard to resolve.

Should we listen to Sabine in this case? Isn't this another manifestation of a generally intelligent person, who happens to be an expert in her field weighing in on something she's not an expert on, thinking her expertise transfers?

This is the most common 'smart person' fallacy out there.

As for my 2 cents, LLMs can do sequence modeling and prediction tasks, so as long as a problem can be reduced to sequence modeling (which is a lot of them!), they can do the job.

This is like saying that the Fourier Transform is played out because you can only do so much with manipulating signal frequencies.
There is much more to figure out what is edible and what is not. Considering shrooms alone, it is much more "complicated", so much that there are specialists for that, even, but I agree, could be an useful skill, but not for people who do not even leave the city, I think.

However, they should know the basics such as "not eating potatoes (or its parts) that are green", and so forth, since that is something you run into even if you never leave the city. Food spoilage in general would be useful to teach, but that is the job of the parents, I would say. That said, my teachers in elementary school always used to tell me that they are our second parents. I can see where they were coming from.
It changed my worldview negatively. I am actively preparing for involuntary early retirement which is probably looming in the coming month because my industry seems to have evaporated.

> And you don't have concerns about that? What kind of damage is that doing to our society, long term, if we have a system that _everyone_ uses and it's just accepted that a third of the time it is just making shit up?

Main problem with our society is that two thirds of what _everyone_ says is made up shit / motivated reasoning. The random errors LLMs make are relatively benign, because there is no motivation behind them. They are just noise. Look through them.

On the logically practical point I agree with you (what counts in the end in the specific process you mention is the gain vs loss game), but my point was that if your assistant is structurally delirious you will have to expect a big chunk of the "loss" as structural.

Sure, if you ignore the difference, you will not see what's different. The "extent" is key, few things command so much attention!

Are you sure about that? GQA applies self-attention to every KV cache entry. If you're offloading, then you're having to dynamically page in all the KV cache entries into the GPU which is quite slow since the CPU/GPU link only has so much bandwidth. My understanding is that MLA reduces the size of the KV cache & doesn't necessarily attend to every KV token at every step which is why offloading to disk works (i.e. most of the tokens can remain on disk without ever being loaded into the GPU).
