Never underestimate how much importance a lot of people in middle and upper management place in the number of reports they have. It’s almost a <thing> measuring contest with some of them.

They’ll hire people. It might not be in engineering. But I bet they’ll find a reason to hire more engineering. It might even be justified. Software productivity has been increasing for decades. This has not led to a smaller number of software engineers. Only to more ambitious projects.

The future might be different, but I think the chances of that are small.
I think of healthcare problems in America like a watershed: the issues are not the result of any one problem but a concentration of small, medium, and large problems that all drain into the same humongous river. Things that could happen (and let's just take more socialized medicine off the table since it will never happen):

1. Increasing caps (funding) for advanced education

2. Allowing Medicare to negotiate drug prices, it's preposterous that they cannot do this

3. Increase price transparency at hospitals to enable some downward pressure on prices. This is much harder than it sounds, not that it's my problem to solve.

4. Limit hospital system monopolies that given them too much leverage in price negotiation (though have to be careful not to give insurers too much negotiating power, delicate balance)

5. Cap out of pocket expenses, though I'm not sure how.

6. Standardize and simplify billing codes across the US, with more public visibility into them. Medical billing is currently an art, it should be a science.

7. Offer loan forgiveness to medical practitioners that serve for 10 years post-advanced training in a low-healthcare access communities. For what it's worth, I'd also place income-to-debt ratio restrictions on doctors' eligibility for public service loan forgiveness as well.

8. Sadly, if we won't let immigrant trainees stay and obtain citizenship in the US after training, we should stop allocating training spots to them.

9. Increase use of mobile clinics and/or transportation services. This would almost necessarily need to be government funded.

10. Reform malpractice insurance and litigation in a way that doesn't remove physician accountability but doesn't require such high overhead to be paid by everyone down the line.

The above would help, but I don't know how much.

A bad analogy doesn't make a good argument. The best analogy for LLMs is probably a librarian on LSD in a giant library. They will point you in a direction if you have a question. Sometimes they will pull up the exact page you need, sometimes they will lead you somewhere completely wrong and confidently hand you a fantasy novel, trying to convince you it's a real science book.

It's completely up to your ability to both find what you need without them and verify the information they give you to evaluate their usefulness. If you put that on a matrix, this makes them useful in the quadrant of information that is both hard to find, but very easy to verify. Which at least in my daily work is a reasonable amount.
OK, let's first define some things.

What we are talking about is a "transformation" or "mapper" layer isolating your domain entities from the persistence. If this is what we call "Repository" then yes, I absolutely agree with you -- this is the right approach to this problem. But if the "Repository pattern" means a complex structure of abstract and concrete classes and inheritance trees -- as I have usually seen it implemented -- then it is usually an overkill and rarely a good idea.

'An Insult to Life Itself': Hayao Miyazaki's AI Criticism Resurfaces
There are basically 3 categories of LLM users (very roughly).

1. People creating or dealing with imprecise information. People doing SEO spam, people dealing with SEO spam, almost all creative arts people, people writing corporatese- or legalese- documents or mails, etc. For these tasks LLMs are god-like.

2. People dealing with precise information and or facts. For these people LLMs is no better than a parrot.

3. Subset of 2 - programmers. Because of the huge amount of stolen training data, plus almost perfect proofing software is the form of compilers, static analyzers etc. for this case LLMs are more or less usable, the more data was used the better (JS is the best as I understand).

This is why people's reaction is so polarizing. Their results differ.
In that case, sure, but if you have an entire async framework you don't want that blocking call.

For as much as Python is embracing async / coroutines, I'm surprised that their http functions do not support it yet.
> The only thing that survives from one iteration to the next is the singular highest ranking token, the entire state and "thought process" of the network cannot be represented by a single token, which means that every strategy is encoded in it during training, as a lossy representation of the training data.

LLVM Back End for MoonBit
MoonBit supports the LLVM backend. With this, it achieved 8× Java’s performance in FFT and introduced out-of-the-box debugging with DWARF symbol injection, enabling precise source mapping directly to compiled outputs.

MoonBit will soon compile directly to native binary files without relying on a C compiler. This eliminates various compatibility issues associated with C compilers.
I learned about this a few weeks ago. It’s different than the default news view. I find it interesting and thought worth sharing more widely.
The “Snow Leopard effect” is more about the transition to Intel from PowerPC than the OS itself.

And maybe I’m a minority but the latest macOS is not worse than previous editions, for instance I use Sequoia on a M1 Mac but also 10.4 Tiger and OS 9.2.2 on a PowerMac G4 (MDD, 2x 1.2Ghz with 2Go of RAM) and the stability is not worse on Sequoia than Tiger or 9.2.2, in fact I have encountered more crashes in 9.2.2 and Tiger than Sequoia and all macOS 11+ (except Big Sur who has rough edge on beginning on M1 device)

False equivalency. Even taken to extreme ends nothing here can be construed as suggesting "only the wealthy" should be allowed or able to drive.

The moment someone suggests enforcement of a law someone comes running in yelling about how it's regressive and will disproportionately affect the poor, and by extension "only the wealthy" will be able to do whatever.

Everything disproportionately affects the poor because it's very hard to be poor.

And the moment you say we shouldn't enforce laws because it will make poor peoples' lives harder you are saying that something is no longer a privilege. That poor people should be able to break the law with lesser or no consequence because they are poor.

I don’t disagree with you but I’m also not entirely sold on the idea that surveillance cameras alone are all that effective at tracking and identifying people.

Some other things that you could add to your tool belt are testing and testing frameworks, documentation "standards" (standards being defined by your org), and telling when a class, function, or script is starting to get to large, and needs to be broken out. The best ways to learn these skills is on the job. Since competition is fierce I would look to some sort of professional system that allows you to begin to ask these questions. Like working in a tech based call center, or working in a QA department, or taking some courses at a local community college. Going to reddit, and stack overflow might not be the best way to get thins information as there are a lot of people who don't post useful insights or information there. Youtube would also be a great place to get some exposure to these skills, just finding the right video.
From my anecdotal experience of 1 attempt of writing to the ICO it was 100% effective: several months later I received a polite response with a history of communication between ICO and the organisation I complained about, where the latter had to justify what they were doing. This was a sports organisation that originally announced that they would be putting DOB of the athletes on their public profiles, but ultimately was just the age (because there are age bands in competitions) maybe as a result of my complaint - who knows?

You can get LEDs which mimic the spectrum of natural light more closely, but these are usually specialty products (often specifically branded as sun-like). Here's one example https://www.greesled.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/ab24a411...

In comparison, the LEDs chosen by the OP have a fairly poor power distribution spectrum. At 4000K the color temperature is also too low to mimic daylight, which is at around 5500K. This is all well as an artistic choice but probably doesn't get you any benefits for seasonal affective disorder.

Hossenfelder is a scientist. There's a certain level of rigour that she needs to do her job, which is where current LLMs often fall down. Arguably it's not accelerating her work to have to check every single thing the LLM says.

I'm on the same boat here. Something is driving me away from my MacBook M1(Pro? Don't even know). I have a gut feeling that it's macOS but can't really put a finger on it yet.

Bought a heavily used ThinkPad T480s (from 2018) and replaced almost every replaceable part of it, including the screen. Being able to replace many parts easily is a nice touch since I am using MacBooks since 2007 exclusively. Guess that's why I somehow overdid it here.

I think that was the single most horrific thing I've seen from him.

Since we're already discussing a novelist, I'll add some (spoken) lyrics[1], from "Sophia" by The Crüxshadows[2]:

"The human animal is a beautiful and terrible creature,
capable of limitless compassion and unfathomable cruelty.
If you wish to find that which becomes the dividing line between
mankind and other biological classifications, it rests not in
brain size, dominance, or even emotional capability. It lies within
the innate capacity for human beings to reflect on their actions
and show regret. It is most certainly the ability to empathize that gives
them their position. All mammals understand love and affection, but
only man shows a propensity to place himself in the shoes of
another life-form. Losing this capability, among individuals of the species
reduces them below their much heralded position
and readies the climate for the likely fall of man.
A fall from grace."

It’s perfectly fine. KDE and Gnome are both now more cohesive, more intuitive, and less buggy than either Windows or MacOS.

The problem with Linux is that, while it’s very good, it’s different.

Nobody actually cares how intuitive something is, at least not in absolute. People will still say Windows is intuitive. Pretty much nothing in Windows, from the registry to COM to IIS to setting/control panel/computer management, is intuitive. But they know how to use it and are used to that particular brand of buggy inconsistency.

Linux desktops have been high quality for a long time now. The reality is you, and others, measure quality as “how much is it like windows” or “how much of it is like macOS”. When that’s your metric, Linux will always come up short, just by definition.

You and I vehemently agree.

But even if the police where you live were perfect, handing them the keys to the internet wouldn't resolve crimes committed outside their jurisdiction.

I see why the idea is appealing to politicians, but even they ought to think twice about the risks inherent in third parties accessing their most private communications - given that whatever sides of the political aisles they sit upon they are likely to be much more interesting targets to better resourced assailants than us average schmucks.
I don't think you're taking their argument in good faith. At least my read on what's being said here is that the psyops lock-in effects that Apple uses are too strong.

It's not just "blue bubbles," but "blue bubbles" seems like a good shorthand to me. It's also things like Hand-off, or Universal Control, or getting Messages on both iPhone and Mac seamlessly, or being on the same WiFi network allowing your iPhone/Watch to work as a tv remote for the Apple TV even if you're just visiting a friend. Features that any platform can and does enable, but that do to Apples vertical can work seamlessly out of the box, across all the product lines, while securing network access in the ways most users will want, creating a continuous buy-in loop wherein the more Apple products you buy, the more incentive there is to buy exclusively Apple.

And it's a collective "you." If your entire family uses exclusively Apple products, then you'll be the only person who can't easily use eg the Apple TV in the living room, or the person "messing up" the group chats with "User reacted with Emoji Heart to [3 paragraph text message]," or the one trying to decide between competing network KVM software platforms so that you can use your tablet when your 12-yo can just set their tablet next to their laptop and get a second screen without any setup. Nevermind that these are all social engineering techniques that only exist BECAUSE Apple chose not to play nice with others, they still socially reinforce a deeper commitment to Apple products with each additional Apple product in the ecosystem.

I say this as someone "stuck in the blue bubble" with eyes open about what's going on. I'll keep picking Apple as long as they're a hardware-oriented company, because their incentives are best aligned with mine for the consumer features they are delivering (for now): consumer integration that sells hardware. It's insidious in its own way, but not like "hardware that sells eyeballs" (Google/Meta) or "business integration that sells compliance" (Microsoft).
