The use is and always has been an extremely unregulated marketplace to exchange value. (Whatever value means is up to the buyer) I think the entire idea behind cryptocurrencies from the beginning was to have unregulatable currency. That com

I think if you trained a MLM to replace certain tokens in a CSV with formulas, you can accomplish that without worrying about the internal representation of a spreadsheet.

Convince me that voters, at large, have agency. Ad spend and marketing reach is a great predictor or election outcomes. This last US election really lowered my optimism about the democratic process.

Encoding complexity in your type system forces you to deal with that complexity throughout your codebase. It doesn’t give complexity a specific place to live.

> how it's managed and where it shows up in your experience of solving other problems That’s what I’m talking about. Encoding complexity in your types does not manage where that complexity lives or where you have to deal with it. It

At a sniff test it would make sense. Trading computational complexity for space.

You keep mentioning moore’s law, but that specifically applied to the amount of transistors on a die, not the rate of general technological advancement. Regardless, I don’t see any change in this pattern. We’re advancing faster than ever be

The pace of technological development has always been permanently increasing. We’ve always been getting better at making things better.

I don’t think I agree that either typescript nor rust successfully hide the complexity in their type systems. By the nature of type systems, they are tightly coupled with the code written around them. Rust has rich features to handle this c

Rather not have the deadliest train in the US fly through high foot traffic areas every hour? Yes, I’d rather not have that. I’d rather them just add a route from palm beach to Tampa. Or extend the tri rail to Orlando. The brightline prices

“Weak singularity” meaning what? Technology advancing more quickly year over year? That’s a crazy notion and I’ll be sure everyone knows. Also, what a wild thing to say. “People like you deserve to live in poverty because you don’t think we

Didn’t Altman say they’re losing money on the $200 subscription tier? Inference isn’t cheap either.

I live in Florida. Is the new rail you’re talking about the brightline? It pretty much exclusively goes to and from tourist centers and is far too expensive ($40-$60 per seat each way) to deter most residents from just driving to Orlando. I

Linking tends to be the slow part, right? Especially for rust and c++. From an iteration speed perspective, you’d want to time the whole build process, not just specially compilation.

I’d agree with your quibble. People are trying to design how to prompt, but it’s very different in both implementation and result than designing a programming language or a visual language, ofc.

I’d consider myself one of those nerds. I’ve been in love with programming since I was 9 (20+ years ago now) I was mystified by LLMs a couple years ago. But after really understanding how they work and running into their limitations, a lot

That’s literally the moderation model of federated networks at work. Each instance chooses to adopt defederating lists. If you don’t like that make your own instance.

Many service reps do have some expertise in the systems they support. Once you get past the tier 1 incoming calls, support is pretty specialized.

It’s churn because every new model may or may not break strategies that worked before. Nobody is designing how to prompt models. It’s an emergent property of these models, so they could just change entirely from each generation of any model
