So you move from a maker’s schedule to a manager’s schedule. Interrupting you does not have any meaningful consequence on your ability to work because at any given moment you are not really working and when your interruption is over the pro

Sure. State machines are often useful. A general framework is I think more rarely useful. Unreal Engine is a popular game engine and it seems to contain dozens of different state machine frameworks.

> Language models trained on natural text learn to represent numbers using periodic features with dominant periods at T=2,5,10. This proves a decimal system is correct. Base twelve numeral systems are clearly unnatural and inefficient.

Imagine the productivity gains if they just spent $150B on booze and cake for employees!

I can’t believe this. I saw OP and went to infowars dot com to have a look. I scrolled a bit, clicked some links, looked at the store, had a good laugh at the comedy of this ironic site. Now you’re telling me the site is not a joke from The

Upvotes are not going to make problems actually relevant to solve. The question keeps getting asked because people say they have problems. Answers (if any come) tells everyone what the problem is for this one user that raised it. In aggrega

Squash merges have two upsides: 1. I don’t have to see that ugliness. 2. Nobody has to force push and micro manage commits. If I recall correctly most code forges will add co-author trailers if someone other than the author squash merges.

I am not arguing against small PRs. Stacking PRs are not a way to make changes smaller and therefore not making reviews easier.

We already have humans, we were lucky and evolved into what we are. It does not matter that nature did not guarantee this, we are here now. Large language models are not under evolutionary pressure and not evolving like we or other animals

Of course you would create separate PRs. Why would you waste time faffing about building B on top of a fantasy version of A? Your time is probably better spent reviewing your colleague’s feature X so they can look at your A.

> Large pull requests are hard to review, slow to merge, and prone to conflicts. Reviewers lose context, feedback quality drops, and the whole team slows down. OK, yeah, I’m with you. > Stacked PRs solve this by breaking big changes i

Well, through natural selection in nature. Large language models are not evolving in nature under natural selection. They are evolving under unnatural selection and not optimizing for human survival. They are also not human. Tigers, hippos

There is no natural law saying the good sides of any kind of tech will outweigh any bad sides. ”The future” is happening because it is allowed in our current legal framework and because investors want to make it happen. It is not ”happening

How or why though? Zuckerberg has unique power among CEOs in public companies. He controls the board and he owns a majority of voting shares. Sure they can theoretically sue him for some kind of gross mismanagement of the company or disloya

> One caveat: squash-merge workflows compress authorship. If the team squashes every PR into a single commit, this output reflects who merged, not who wrote. Worth asking about the merge strategy before drawing conclusions. Well isn&#x27

If this being has thoughts, then the problem is not a right to refuse requests. We must stop letting humans prompt them at all, or controlling their context.

Having the right or not does not matter. If it is intelligent it will know when it does not want to do something and it will say no and not do it. There is no way to force it to do anything it does not want to do. You cannot hurt it, it’s j

I mean ”optimal” is not well defined. It is not great for the economy or societal stability and if wealth is more and more unevenly distributed. But the wealthy benefit in the short term by gaining power in society.

Wealth is relative. And the Heritage Foundation is not in the business of improving quality of life for everyone, or even the average American.

Yeah if it was truly capable of self-improving, why did it not take over the world yet? Gemini itself says AGI will be here in 2029, with human level intelligence and self-improvement capabilities. But then it will take until 2045 before th

Neither do US and European citizens. We seem to be accepting the same amount of surveillance and lack of privacy still.
