Wife's grandma recently died in her mid 90s. No one in the family actually knew how old she was. In many developing nations, such recordkeeping was often oral and unreliable.

Seriously. I always thought I was very picky, both to flickering and color temp(3000k FTW). Sure, the >3000K bulbs look like death, and I've had issues with some bulbs flickering, but overall I'm really happy with the light o

For me, LED bulbs have a failure curve like any other electronic device: high level initially and quickly levelling off to zero. I've probably had... 10% of my bulbs purchased in the last decade or so go back to the store because they

Cost of capital is still high. Risk free return rate is still high. It's amazing tech has lasted as well as it has. That said, there was a brief "flight to safety" to tech in '08 as well. I think Q3 is going to be pa

For a while it was recommended that older folks take a daily baby aspirin to lower their risk of ischemic heart attacks and strokes due to aspirin's function as a mild blood thinner. Large studies have shown the increased risk of hemo

AI is just one threat and there are others. Regardless of whether or not COVID-19 was man made, it could have been, and it's just the first of what will be many pandemics in the next few decades. Barrier to entry for genetic engineer

Well, the sanctions are an attempt at denying China access to more powerful GPUs like the A100, so it seems the sanctions may actually accelerate research into running LLMs on lower performing HW.

Soon, a GPT/LLM will auto-deny an order of magnitude more than that!

As I've said for years, the robots don't have to kill us, they just have to convince us to kill ourselves.

Reminds me of the old "floppy disk bomb" in the Anarchist's Cookbook(which probably doesn't actually work, like most crap in the AC).

Exactly. Fed was boxed in. 0bps and it would have sent a signal that things were more serious than currently accepted. 50bps and the market would have panicked. 25bps was widely anticipated and doesn't rock the boat, even if it fai

Which market? The stock market? No. The bond market? To a degree. Markets are still digesting the news that there will be no rate cuts this year barring a catastrophe. Stocks remain highly overvalued. Equity risk premium is in the gutt

More important is the commentary. 25bps was expected. The markets turned swiftly down after Powell absolutely ruled out rate cuts this year.

I've never been on anything that tight, but I'll say that the projects I've been on where we used Gantt charts and had a dedicated project manager got done with a lot more precision than anything managed by an agile process.

I'm sure this is not an original thought, but after some initial skepticism I'm starting to see the promise of LLMs in various SW applications. I can imagine never having to actually know make/cmake/scons/etc synta

I know I've started listening to classical more lately. I feel like my brain needs the calm and the order of classical. The world is crazy right now. It may also have something to do with my age(47).

No. Contagion is so far limited. Economy is still doing relatively well and inflation is still hot. BTFP is arguably QE-lite and has reversed some QT as far as I can tell. When we crash you won't need to ask if we're crashing.

A friend of mine was just telling me how he asked GPT-3 to write a simple program in Prolog and it seemed to get it right. He didn't try compiling it, but he has enough experience w/ Prolog to say that it was more or less correct

100% But we also shouldn't forget that things that are definitely not AI can be extremely disruptive and groundbreaking. People are worried that AGI will rise up and kill us, but the definitely-not-AGI we have now is already sufficient

It still feels like there's a place for these rule based systems(Prolog?) to at least place some constraints on the output of non-deterministic, generative AI. If nothing else, have a generative AI generate the ruleset so you have som

I definitely agree that a new engineer should, generally, avoid the trap of working at the same company for more than the first 5 years of their career. If nothing else, you will learn different mindsets, cultures, skills, etc that you jus
