Sometimes I wish I had the drugs that would make me believe in things like "we're on the cusp of AGI", everything would be so much more exciting.

But then the comments are a deluge of breathless hype about "agi" and "changing the world". Just like it was for the fake internet money people--decentralized banking is gonna change everything!!!11oneeleven .

Impressive numbers, but have you ever tried to use one of these things to get actual work done? They're terrible at it! Until these companies start demonstrating some actual value this is merely a hype bubble. Nvidia is slightly differ

This was the sense in which I was using the word "competent", thanks for clarifying. What I meant was now they are better able to realize their destructive vision, but insofar as I can tell its mostly the same vision as it ever wa

Smart switches (at least for lights) seem to me like a solution in search of a problem. Why would I ever need to turn on lights when I'm not there? If I am there, what's wrong with just using the switch? I am using HA for somethin

I had the pleasure of operating some machines like that too. One was a hydraulic shear roughly the size of a school bus, and once you stomp the pedal there is absolutely no taking it back--it'll do a cycle and nothing can stop it. We a

My geography of that region is dated, but when I worked in industry there I was north if M.I.T., so it's plausible industry could be patient zero.

I completely agree. The only things I consider fun are also "hard", "uncomfortable", and "unpleasant". Otherwise it's just boring. Another way to say it is "rewarding".

I'm not complaining so much about the lack of features. What I don't like as a cad user is that the modeling interface is basically an evolution of the drafting table. I have to think like a draftsperson rather than simply describ

If we ~randomly become aware on a 1, 3, or 6yr timescale that the billionaires are the smallest minority, and then collectively decide to redistribute their wealth equitably and their intestines uniformly, will that change your predictions?

It seems like it should be pretty cheap to detect violations of Retry-After on a 429 and just automatically blackhole that IP for idk 1hr. It could also be an interesting dataset for exposing the IPs those shady "anonymous scraping&quo

There's something also in the UX dynamics. As a developer writing property based tests I'm encouraged to think much more carefully about system invariants, otherwise there's not much value added over unit tests. For anything

The assertion is that they're lightweight formal methods. Or is the article (and the proceedings of SOSP '21 it links to) wrong? EDIT: ah I see where there might be confusion--obviously a library for generating random test data

by jcgrillo 2y ago
The lightweight formal methods callout is a good one. Maintaining a suite of proptest[1] strategies alongside the codebase is not a very much larger investment than writing unit tests by hand, but the insights they provide due to extensive
