Looking good ! Go Copilot !

You are absolutely right. AGI is already here anyways.

This must be one of the stupidest article I have ever read.

The first page only shows they have absolutely no clue how statistics works. Of course if you consider every events in the universe completely independent the probability of any large combination of those will be very low. But it is of course not the case with all the conditions they describe, those are highly correlated and P(A|B)P(B)>P(A)P(B) for all of those.

This guy does not understand how language models work.

Agreed, Alpine is hell to debug.

Curious to know how close that training loop is to actual openai code.

HN / libertarians: Laws are for fools.

Reality: Laws are the only way to civilise mankind.

Hm, misleadingt title and abstract. Basically animal food source is more dense in protein, so cheaper. If you constrain the price of the meals, optimal solution will of course favour animal source.

In the intro they even say for western country it food source would not matter because we're above minimum protein intake.

Very misleading, not sure how this title passed the bulshit test.

Very biased piece, written by somebody acutely grieving, and lacking in the very thing she deplores: lack of data except for two select studies that goes in her direction.

The appeal to always go for the new and shiny JS framework is crazy.

{#each 'SVELTE' as char, i}.. seriously !

Svelte is the biggest scam of all, reinventing the wheel all the way.

Litteraly no issues on my M1, except for the team chat design.

The day the US feels like two distinct entities with opposing views. Then you’ll have war.

And most of the non-western world will rejoice at the idea of the greatest country on earth forfeiting its hegemony over its inability to control religion when it should have.

Religion is the scourge of the earth, eternally at war against civilisation, education and reason; promoting war and hatred against the « barbarians » wherever it holds some ground.

I must say, that mediocre article lead to very interesting comments.

Anyone downvoting this post is a douche, because this, fellas, is pure gold.

You're welcome.

Say you are going to the gym 4 times a week, then one day, while running, you feel a sudden pain in your knee. Knee swells but nothing too bad, except that every single time you move your knee, some sharp, nagging pain comes back and gets you to stop whatever you're doing. You then touch your knee, move it left and right, and scratch at the pain. Makes it a bit worse.

You should rest, says your aunt and her bridge friends. You don't really want to rest, but at the same time... that pain! Right? Can't really go to the gym now.. could I?

So, you stay home for the next two weeks. After two weeks, the pain is still there; you leave it for another two weeks before going to the doctor. Doc can't find anything wrong, so you get Ibuprofen for 2 weeks and rest, perhaps a little contention for your knee. After the two weeks are done, you feel a bit better, and you gained a bit of weight, so it's really time to go back to the gym.

You go back to the gym, pumped. First move, bam! Knee pain comes back. As sharp as ever. WTF.

Thing is. Not moving for a month or two and avoiding the pain has made all the muscles around your knee grow weak. Your threshold for pain is lowered by the inactivity in the limb, and your general fitness has severely diminished.

Is having knee pain as bad as your story? Of course not. Is that a helpful story? Well, maybe, you tell me.

I believe in both cases letting the pain control your life is a mistake. Even if it is the worst pain imaginable, do whatever you can to work AROUND it. What does it mean in your case?

Your pain does not forbid you to take care of your lifestyle: - Do not indulge in useless behaviours that kill your soul and increase your self-deprecation: (re)Build a discipline. - Eat well, sleep well and rise with the sun. - Do every bit of physical activity you can, regularly, like clockwork.

Can you do 20 pushups? 10? 1? Well, then it goes in. Can you run for 5 min ? You start there. Can you stretch your back ? Bam, in. You find out what you can do and make it a doable and improvable routine that you do EVERY SINGLE DAY, in the morning, preferably.

Work around the pain. Do not let it control you, build what can be built.

Your pain does not forbid you to take care of your mindset: - Find goals, start small, and keep growing - E.g. "I can't hold a job" --> that's a useless generalisation. Change it to rational thinking: are you cognitively diminished ? yes/no ? if yes, how much? Are there job for cognitively diminished people like you ? (probably, given that half the population has an IQ below 100). Are you physically dimished ? yes/no ? How much? Can you find a job that would work? Remote? Coding ? Job X ? You don't know how to do X ? Replace video games by Coursera. Get a certificate in X. Is it you can't keep a job because you aim too high ? Would it be ok to aim lower ? How low ? How much time would it be ok to be there ? - Keep a vision of what the future could be. Even with the pain, even with all the failures and broken dreams. Find out what it could be as if your life depended on it.

Anyways. There is no silver bullet. You are, or have been, at a threshold for a while, a fork in the road between extinction and rebirth.

My advice is to take the Ibuprofen or whatever antidepressant you can get, whatever can help you stand a bit taller and feel a bit less of the pain. But go back to the gym, work around whatever pain is left after that, and wean yourself off everything you thought you needed to go through the days. Progressively.

Also, obviously. Stop taking benzodiazepine, weed, alcohol or any other drugs. Get help if you can. You are in a fight for the rest of your life.

Good luck.

There is no way I'm leaving webpack after those 100 years of frustration and pain. Now that I have reached an almost mediocre level of understanding of it, I am never letting it go.

The guy made "only ennemies" in big companies. Not sure he'd be the most unbiased person to comment on the quality of tech jobs or somebody who can comment on healthy coworker relations.

When the same pattern keeps happening to you wherever you work, its not them, its you. That you had a few good positions in healthy teams does not make you a healthy coworker, the culture was probably just too strong and healthy for you to mess it up.

Because I have absolutely nothing else than work in my life. Staying connected constantly is the only way I excape the dread of the abyss.

Yeah right. In the south, they are all about everyone being American as long as they can recite some platitudes about the Constitution.

France has a much fairer system for integration. Everything is based on how good you perform. Until you finish your studies, every major test is completely anonymous. You can become a doctor without ever having to pass in front of a Jury who may be biased by the way you look, what you believe in, or where you come from.

France has not suffered from the same deeply rooted racial discrimination the US still suffers from. During the 19th and 20th centuries, France was a refuge for oppressed minorities.

Big surprise

Meh. The article makes unsubstantiated statements in a matter-of-fact style, rendering the whole piece useless.

Among those, the key statement: TED talks ideas do not impact our world, is, in my view, completely false, and would at least deserve a closer examination. What does the author expect ? That in the months after Bill Gates makes a dramatic intervention countries all over the wolrd have prioritized his ideas, devised new contingency plans, voted on them, and implemented them ? How fast is fast enough ? Those things take time, and changing minds is only the first but crucial step in a long series of changes in the cultural, political, and legal domain.

Changing opinions and improving cognitive flexibility around stale issues is high impact.

Wow, I did not know conscientiousness meant honesty, creativity, resilience, engagement, and teamwork - an all-in-one package !

Those are unsubstanciated statements about domains you know very little about.

These days science is so specialised and lacking narrative that you can reach PhD level without any notion of what's really going on in your field, and even less into others.

Great post, it is the kind of things you wish you read 10 years ago. Most negative comments I read here are basically reformulating Talion law. That's not how you make things better around you. You should behave as an employee like the employee you wish was working for you.

Two weeks is not enough to hand off your work and allow a company/team to prepare.

If your managers are asshole, then maybe you cannot change your environment by voicing concerns, and risk being fired. But if you made up your mind and know you're leaving, by giving 2 months notice you can make sure not to leave your team in a bad state

If arguments based on core-values do not sway you, doing the right thing is also the way to get good recommendations and opportunities in the future.

I found that book quite useful to understand/frame those relations: https://www.amazon.com/Radical-Candor-Kim-Scott/dp/B01KTIEFE...

Many inconcistencies and a strong bias thorough the paper. Not sure how this got upvoted on HN .

These are not AI generated images. I wouldn't be surprised the "AI" plays a non-essential role in ths project and the rest is just plain 3D modelling.
