> I continue to believe that LLMs are favored by people who don't care about developing an understanding of subjects based on the most authoritative source material. These are people who don't read science journals, they don't read technical specifications, they don't read man pages, and they don't read a program's source code before installing the program. These are people who prioritize convenience above all else.

This makes a lot of sense to me. As a young guy in the 90's I was told that some day "everyone will be fluent in computers" and 25 years later it's just not true. 95% of my peers never developed their fluency, and my kids even less so. The same will hold try for AI, it will be what smartphones were to PCs: A dumbed down interface for people who want to USE tech not understand it.
Good callout! I'm wrong on that one. I was under the assumption it was co-developed with Shinhan but that was wrong.
I'm finding profiles where the only reference to the thing I was searching for (PyTorch in this case) is in their profile text. None of their repos or commit history seem to use pytorch. I also refuse to believe that there is only one developer using pytorch in all of Stockholm.

I love the concept, but it seems to struggle with judging what code/text relevant and important
The first sentence contextualized the comment to university degrees as far as I'm concerned. I'm not sure how you could interpret it any other way, but maybe you can enlighten me.
My personal theory is less that it's reducing the guilt of lying if the machine fabricates it but rather more that the average person has historically been not so good at fabricating a fib (and they now have instant access to plausible-sounding lies)

In practice, it will be used to liquidate us: at best, we get the mass-fabbed social housing and a minimal dole to keep us from revolting; at worst, they leave us to die on the streets like we currently do to the mentally ill and the medically bankrupt.

> But for some projects, any change requires going through a full round of review, testing, recertification, and so on.

If the new binary is literally identical to the last one which was passed validation, absolutely zero additional testing is required. It is a waste of resources to retest an identical binary (assuming everything else can be held constant of course, which obviously can't always be the case).

Actually sending our hypothetical refactoring to production would itself be a waste of resources anyway, since the binary is identical... you just skip it, wait for the next real change, and then proceed as usual.

All processes have exceptions, the "binary identical output" is an easy one if your leadership chain is capable of understanding it.

And to be clear, "binary" here could absolutely mean "entire firmware image". The era of reproducible builds is upon us, and it is glorious.

People love to make things seem harder than they are. I tattoo people, I am aware about skin types, usually thats not a big issue unless its heavily scarred. The quality of your tattoo machine matters most, as my 70€ eBay makeshift one wasnt nearly as good as a proper one. Amount of ink matters, needle depth, skin type, sweat. But thats stuff you have figured put after your 20th tattoo. Its like knowing datatypes in programming. You just know stuff after some practice.

With animals this is normally called a "breeding program". For example, some dogs are bred for intelligence.

Edit:
Historically, there were "hunting birds" kept by the wealthy. Even today, but they are much more rare than dogs. Training and breeding would be standard practice in that environment.

>A lot of ways of life in India are sustainable. In fact going the consumerist ways of West is a step in the opposite direction, given what all problems that has created for the planet. I think the motive of the piece is not the nostalgia of repairing, but how living with constraints births sustainability and how we all can learn from it (including India) and in fact foster it in a positive way :)

Isn't this the degrowth ideology expressed in a slightly obfuscated way? Being poor is more "sustainable", because you don't have as much resources to consume.

There are fundamental differences between Asian cultures and Western ones, particularly in how they view the individual versus the community, and the relationship between the young and the elderly. In many Asian cultures, the community is often placed above the individual, while in the West, individualism tends to take precedence. These perspectives have evolved differently over time, and each has its own advantages and drawbacks—there’s no single “correct” way.

That said, it would definitely be more challenging to implement this kind of community-first mindset in the U.S. or Europe.

Relentlessly excluding wrong thinkers is required for inclusivity.
There's reference to various animals, like crows or bees learning to "count" or knowing how to "count". However I'm highly skeptical that it's actual "counting".

I think it's just ability to learn based on whether there's more or less of something, in most cases. Which if you think about it, is an obvious skill all animals must possess in order to make decisions. And nothing new.

I don't think those studies are showing true "counting". For example as a person I can without counting tell if there's 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 of something, I can tell how many characters are in shorter words on glimpse, but that's not counting. These amounts are just pattern recognition labels. However I can then use these in groups to do actual counting.

Animals certainly must be able to tell if something is smaller or bigger, because they must identify whether it's a potential prey, or a threat. Already this ability should lead to the ability of being able to differentiate between there being 1, 2, 3 or 4 of something.

There seems to be studies that are using this idea to prove that animals can count.

Ultimately these are the strength of certain stimuli and even a simple machine learning algorithm can produce different output based on the amount of that signal.

And then talking about planning and self-control. Many animals are willing to patiently stand still, waiting for their prey to make a move, I don't think it means that they are specifically "thinking" about it. A cat can patiently wait for the mouse when it notices the hole.
We connected our two IBM 4381s (VM/CMS) to our BT mega/kilostream serial network using VT200 (and VT00 & VT52)-emulating terminals via an IBM 7171 protocol converter. I had the somewhat unenviable task of programming this beast, but it worked well enough, and (like all IBM gear) was very well documented. This would be mid-1980s. The 7171 was good because it meant we didn't have to replace all our terminals.
Yes, and it is also what doesn't really appear to happen in mature engineering fields, isn't it? No one is reinventing, I don't know, bolts. Or ohms, or amperes, or how one determines a Young's modulus. In those fields you see incremental refinements; mostly, when you see claims of major revolutions, like the recent flap over supposed high-temperature superconductivity in the "LK-99" material, mostly those receive deep suspicion that typically turns out to be justified, because these are fields where exist sizable, coherent bodies of well-tested and reliably predictive theory whose consequences can for most purposes be taken as known. If there is any similar body of knowledge in this engineering discipline then the discipline still qualifies as preparadigmatic for having developed a paradigm its exponents failed to become competent to transmit. But I think there simply exists next to none of such knowledge.

(Even the damned alchemists have their ball-and-stick models! And sure, we have S-expressions, had them for something like seventy years, and do we use them? Do we, hell...)

It's how you get people thinking that the web was revolutionary, and not a product of decades and generations of work toward the concept of a global communications network. But the idea that this inchoate condition holds back the industry doesn't seem to me to hold much water. The first boilers blew up a lot too, before the underlying principles were understood, and mere prolonged survival quickly came to be seen as no mean qualification in a steam engineer. How much did that "hold back" the building of railroads, from where the trains were to where the money was? That, if you care to know, is the overarching metaphor with which I like to describe this industry - though I concede the machines we build are not nearly so hazardous to we ourselves.

If I had to boil down my entire analysis of this industry to something expressible in a single adjective, the only word to fit would certainly be "irresponsible." But I'll also mention at this time that I topped out at a high-school diploma on a sub-3.0 GPA, so if as the holder of a doctorate you find you begin to become bored or uncomfortable talking with me, experience strongly suggests the option of impugning any or all of my intellect, discipline, character, and decency of motivation in speaking is always available as a resort.
Really love the idea, looking forward to trying it out. Sounds like a great way to stay up to date with potential investors
Nice! Lua really needed something like this to make packages easier.
Well we do reasonably know that the mass must be very densely packed at the centre but we do not know exactly how, we do not know if there is a singularity or not.

4o, despite OpenAI's practically draconian content policies, is a pretty big leap forward. I put together a comparison of some of the most competitive generative models (Imagen, 4o, Flux, and MJ7) where I prioritized increasingly difficult prompt adherence. If Imagen 3 had 4o's multimodal capabilities (being able to make constant adjustments against a generated image by prompting) I would say its nearly on-par with 4o.

So many types of mining have loads of fluoride or heavy metals to discard. Since we’re dealing with minerals, in some cases visual inspection & sorting is sufficient. In other cases where high purity is required, may need to dissolve/melt them and process a series of precipitates & evaporates (i.e. expensive).

Here’s a fertilizer example: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21681395/

I have no interest in doing that, plus it would be unfair to those who may depending on whatever (little) work of interest I can accomplish as of now and would antagonize my team members.

Lack of supervisors != lack of project and organizational perimeters in this case. I can't just start working on whatever I want by leaving the daily responsibilities behind, despite how clueless everyone seems to be regarding those, nor can I just take any decision I'm confronted with on a whim.
I kinda get where you're coming from, but the comment is about the fact it hasn't been done, and there's no reason why it should be a separate set.

I firmly believe that it's the root of all run-away intelligence. Social species trying to outsmart itself. Predator-prey or individual-environment dynamics are just too slow to compete with self-referential feedback loop.

Given that we probably won't need to worry about AI getting significantly smarter unless we put it with existential competition with itself.
Please don't define everything in India in terms of poverty. It gives the impression that anything good in India happens only because of economic concerns. But that isn't entirely true. Let's not undermine the recognition of those who do it as a social responsibility. I'm personally acquainted with a rather successful engineer and businessman who does it because he believes in sustainability. His reworked Thinkpads are very popular among the tech community here - not because they're cheap, but because of his workmanship and configurability (it even comes with coreboot). And none of those customers are incapable of affording high-end laptops either - many are FOSS contributors when they're not at their full-time jobs.

One thought exercise I've had fun with in the past:

We already control dogs' sub-species, so let's say we decide to uplift dogs to human level intelligence. How long would it take? At what point does it become unethical to modify a species that is on the way to intelligence? What does an evolved dog look like at different stages of their human-forced evolution? A modern dog is what (very rough) equivalent to which stage of human evolution?

Most of the good machinist knowledge in America has retired, if not already literally died.

And mechanical engineers in the US largely don’t have the hands on skill to really understand making these machines. Not that that can’t gain it.

But to achieve truly high precision (the pinnacle from which all other percussion is derived) is an extreme art form. CNC doesn’t come close. The state of the art (and has been for eons) is hand scraping: https://www.krcmachinetoolsolutions.com/machine-tool-scrapin...

Things used to be made better because people cared about making a good product and took pride in their work. This is especially true in the machine tool industry: don’t try to make it in the field if you don’t really legitimately care.
Isn’t it weird how “old people” are so much like other people? The insecurities, hopes and so on? It’s like stereotypes just don’t work or something.
> I'm much for free speech, but more in the sense that we should be able to discuss policy/politics/critique/bitch/bash/religions/etc. Not so we can make terror plans, defame, harass, bully

The recent past should tell you that a lot of what some would call legitimate critique/bitch/bash etc. others would call harass/bully/violence –to also include not speaking about it at all.

So in the interest of consistency, and publicity, I'd prefer to let the bigots of the world speak, and out themselves as bigots, so that we may then publicly speak and make fun of them for being bigots. The same goes for corporations.
This is such a cynical, keyboard-warrior take. Why do you feel the need to drag down someone else's positive and impactful contribution? No one is stopping you from creating a card game with women as the heroes.

AI can definitely produce a deletion. In fact, I commonly use AI to do this. Copy some code and prompt the AI to make the code simpler or more concise. The output will usually be fewer lines of code.

Unless you meant that AI won’t remove entire features from the code. But AI can do that too if you prompt it to. I think the bigger issue is that companies don’t put enough value on removing things and only focus on adding new features. That’s not a problem with AI though.
Most PR Advice Misses What Matters Most
htmx boost functionality is an afterthought in the main use case it is marketed for (turning a traditional MPA into something that feels like a SPA), but it's actually super useful for the normal htmx use case of fetching partial updates and swapping them into a page.

If you do something like <a href=/foo hx-get=/foo hx-target="#foo">XYZ</a> the intention is that it should work with or without JavaScript or htmx available. But the problem is that if you do Ctrl-click or Cmd-click, htmx swallows the Ctrl/Cmd key and opens the link in the same tab instead of in a new tab!

But if you do <a href=/foo hx-boost=true hx-target="#foo">XYZ</a> everything works as expected–left-click does the swap in the current tab as expected, Ctrl/Cmd-click opens in a new tab, etc. etc.

Also another point–you are comparing htmx's boost, one feature out of many, to the entirety of Turbo? That seems like apples and oranges.
