I’m not sure what point you are making with this reply. I’m late/adult self-identifying autistic. I’ve done this with some of the standard tests that psychiatrists use, attended workgroups related to the topic, and studied extensively.

> An AI with any sort of generalizable reasoning ability would just need basic sources That is a completely unsupportable assertion.

Standard library support is not there in any meaningful way across compilers, I fail to see why anyone would adopt modules at the present. MSVC is the furthest along in its support last I looked. Once compiler support is available, I would

In fairness this one’s predecessor has some pretty accessible articles that I’ve actually read. It’s more like an encyclopedia. Some things I have the background for, others not so much.

The paper is actually science, but it’s not news. It is, however, being portrayed that way. This type of writing seems like a job that could, and possibly should, be replaced by AI. I personally believe the Cascadia fault will go off on Jun

I’ve migrated between devops platforms multiple times on multiple projects. The barrier is not really that high, and the cost of losing some data is relatively low. You can script most of it or pay a small fee for a user friendly plugin. Th

I agree. This can partly be caught by screening - serial job hoppers may not be a good fit - but it’s more commonly a reflection of lack of dedication to the employee. I’ve been at my current job going on 11 years, it’s not like I planned

This is true, and yet, they played the opening move.

Or the more cynical take that this is the natural course all parties take when they discover themselves atop a large pile of money. The board was just outmaneuvered.

My Jeep Wrangler has a physical volume knob that may or may not elicit a change in volume when turned within the first 30 seconds of starting the car. Which can be literally deafening if you had on e.g. a podcast at 75% volume when you turn

I really believed this argument growing up in a white, middle class household in the 1980s. I’m more skeptical now, after two decades of helping build our current technocracy. I think there is a sweet spot between the dystopian lawlessness

Two then-current NIST standards (62 and 71?) side by side gave contradictory advice. It is a step forward though for sure.

That’s my feeling too. GPT models have been around for a few years now. ChatGPT and its cousins represent one specialized use that has finally come to market. I would be shocked if the big studios have not been sinking a lot of money into t

As someone who grew up in the 80s, this type of minimization of personal suffering was the norm. “You don’t know how good you have it” despite real mental and physical health struggles. You either made it to adulthood, cynical and damaged,

Those are good articles. I don’t think the numbers support non-monogamy as a major cause - men are not looking for “relationships or casual dating”, and things like poly communities are quite small outside of a few big US cities. The stat t

I’m not as worried about Joe Schmo using OpenAI services as I am about a foreign state with weaponized AI tools. Plus nobody really cares if you can show that something was AI generated after the fact, the first impression is all that count

I am working on relocating to an area that will afford me more personal and professional opportunities in the future. I have been writing software professionally for over 20 years and there is not much left there to captivate me, so I’ve re

Given that our other principal source of extant stoic writing is from a former slave, Epictetus, I’m inclined to agree that the criticism is baseless.

Academia is a recipe for burnout. It’s like pro sports, unless you are the top 1% of the top 1% you may be able to keep eeking by but will never be in a comfortable position. There is always more to do and you do not get paid well for your

That sounds like a bad human translation from Chinese. AI mistakes are a different category.

I have kids and recognize that they will become full grown adults and should have some agency. I want them to be informed enough to navigate the treacherous world into which they’ve been born, and given the emotional, financial, and other f

The government is mostly just there to manage contracts, the actual work would be done by the same doctors that are doing it today. You would just pare n profit-seeking entities down to one principally administrative entity. If you wish t

The skills I try to instill in my kids are things like: empathy, self-regulation, effective communication, personal boundaries, autonomous decision making, high-level planning, and the basics of adulting. The biggest one I think is adapting

I wasn’t exactly rude about it, but they were acting as a representative of the company - probably the only one I could ever actually talk to - so I didn’t see any reason to sugar coat it either. I am often direct with sales people that I a

I subscribed for a few years and would renew each year when they jacked the rates back up. Finally decided it just was not worth it and went through their arduous cancellation process. Got a call back the next day asking to sign me back up

Cliven Bundy still walks free as far as I know, which I personally find mind-boggling, but there is precedence.

I like financial breakdowns like this. The thing an LLM cannot do is all the decision making that went into that. Framing the problem is harder to quantify, and is almost certainly an order of magnitude more work than writing and debugging

LLMs are cool and will continue to change society in ways we cannot readily predict, but they are not quite that cool. GPT3 has been around for a little bit now and the world has not ended or encountered a singularity. The models are expe

Just another third party booking service. Last month a rental from Budget through Costco travel for a six days in CA was around $340. The same thing on rentalcars.com was over $500.
