   Differences are hidden because (1) differences, even small ones, are used to justify discrimination (2) some feel the need to correct for stereotypes (3) these differences often don't really exist or amount to a small effect size.[0] I

   This doesn't answer why you're manually handling everything with sftp instead of rsync.

   This is a steaming pile of SFTP. Why not use rsync or wrap it if you must? For anyone who's interested in proper bidirectional sync check out Mutagen.[0] [0]: https://mutagen.io/documentation/synchronization/

   Very fun! Some constructive feedback: the mobile experience is painful. Lots of real estate gets eaten up, and a lot of content ends up being hidden. Also you broke the back button. Finally, it's not intuitive where to click to get st

   I'm pretty convinced the only developers who think we're on the cusp of AGI code exclusively in Python or JavaScript.

   I didn't realize just how bad LLMs are with unpopular languages until now: "Elixir lists do not support index based access via the access syntax" "Never use else if or elseif in Elixir, always use cond or case for multip

   I really don't understand how people given access to a pile of tools and data sources and unleash them on customers. It's horrible UX in my experience and at times worse than a phone tree. My view is that you need to transition s

   "Do you think you need to do high/medium/low amount of thinking to answer X?" seems well within an LLMs wheelhouse if the goal is to build an optimized routing engine.

   Is there a reason human preference data is even needed? Don't LLMs already have a strong enough notion of question complexity to build a dataset for routing?

    There's something more obviously nefarious and existential about AI. It takes the idea of "you are the product" to a whole new level.

    Here's a related thought experiment for those hoping for interstellar kumbaya: On planet Jung dwell the Jungians, sapien-like beings who need only a single cup of a rare liquid to live an entire lifetime. For humans, that same cup gran

    I think this makes the analogy even more apt. If someone adds more code to the wrong places for the sake of adding more code, the software may not be recoverable for future changes or from bugs. You also often need to add code in the right

    Strings are a universal interface with no dependencies. You can do anything in any language across any number of files. Any other abstraction heavily restricts what you can accomplish. Also, LLMs aren't trained on ASTs, they're tr

    Putting JavaScript directly in your markup with bespoke attributes is extremely hipster.

    The same thing should happen that happens with Rails/Django and friends: nothing. Most frameworks only parse URL params, they don't check to see if the params are valid given your app logic. That's your job. Frankly, anythin

    It's far simpler. All you need is KYC to generate anon tokens, and then make it illegal to store any linking information and illegal to use any such information in court.* The issue is no one in government would buy into this. You&#x27

    Range checks in Ada are basically assignment guards with some cute arithmetic attached. Ada still does most of the useful checking at runtime, so you're really just introducing more "index out of bounds". Consumer this exampl

    But wouldn't that also require code execution? For example even though the compiler already knows the size of an array and could do a bounds check on direct assigment (arr[1] = 1) in some wild nested loop you could exceed the bounds th

    This is also an incredibly useful technique with LLMs. If you alias types (e.g. str to DateStr) the LLM can better infer which functions to select and how to compose them
