In contrast, I always advocated for my teams to stand up in the morning as a way to set the agenda for the day and make sure everyone was clear about what they were going to work on, as well as have an opportunity to schedule meetings with each other if needed. After that, we were done and the rest of the day was yours.
Glad I’m not part of your team. Morning is the most productive time for me, the less human interaction about “accountability” and “agenda” for the day I have the better.
Do that at the end of the day, not the beginning - review the work you've done and the work you are going to do, and then do not waste my mornings where I am productive on meetings - I probably spend less than 10% of my creative effort possible because of this morning meeting crap.
Imagine if there were some kind of way to compress the interrogation down to known-valid aspects, avoiding the parts that are unnecessary for machines. You could have some kind of a programmatic interface...
Yea let’s call it the Agent Prioritized Interrogation interface.
Yeah, I take your point. It seems like the idea, though, is to work with services that are specifically trying to expose some kind of special LLM based interface. I dunno if that’s prominent or useful, I avoid that kind of thing.
Every time I see something about trying to control an LLM by sending instructions to the LLM, I wonder: have we really learned nothing of the pitfalls of in-band signaling since the days of phreaking?
That is my understanding from the outside as well. The core question here should, I think, be whether the adoption and spread of clearer semantics via Rust is worth the potential for confusion and misunderstandings at the boundaries between C and Rust. From the article it appears that this specific instance actually resulted in identifying issues in the usage of the C api's here that are geting scrutiny and fixes as a result. That would indicate the introduction of Rust is causing the trend line to go in the correct direction in at least this instance.
That's been largely my experience of RIIR over years of work in numerous contexts: attempting to encode invariants in the type system results in identifying semantic issues. over and over.
edit to add: and I'm not talking about compilation failures so much as design problems. when the meaning of a value is overloaded, or when there's a "you must do Y after X and never before" and then you can't write equivalent code in all cases, and so on. "but what does this mean?" becomes the question to answer.
I have taught sex ed over the past ten years. The curriculum (which we are forbidden to alter) embraces ideas of many dimensions to sex, but I found that there is not one empirical scientist in their list of authors, reviewers, or source material. The definition of “evidence-based” is that a lesson. has been tested in a classroom. (In other words, kids learned it.)
Intersex is a concept that bears looking into. We’re taught that it is as much as 0.4% of population, which is arrived at through removing context multiple times. Nowadays it is used to argue that there is a spectrum, not a sex binary, but this was not its meaning empirically. (Same thing with “sex assigned at birth”). You’re getting down to some very rare “differences of sexual development” (example: Y chromosome not getting expressed) whereas intersex individuals empirically belong to one or the other genotype. And the majority do not identify as “non binary” and don’t want to be used as examples.
I’m sure I’ll be debated, one comment can’t carry all the proof, but read some sports medicine papers on sex differences, that area has the facts.
I am neurologist. There is a spectrum between but the result situation is either a disease, infertile, unsustainable long term or... made up for hype. If you can point a person that has distinct characteristics and not a mix/overlap, then I admin there is a third sex.
The only forms of matter are gases, liquids, and solids.
Anyone speaking about “plasmas” and “Bose-Eisenstein condensates” is just spewing woke horse shit they must have learned in a liberal indoctrination center(universities )
Sarcasm aside, a lot of people seem to act like no new information can be discovered by humanity beyond what was taught to them as a child in k-12
(this may be related to my obs that the high left can only romanticise^W glamourise^W aestheticise^W "semi-stabilise" the injustice ("a thing to a people") giving the low ample room to troll them -- & get the mid to switch

>Just because I practice Foxwork and channel an entity which might be a different gender than myself means I need to endorse the self-described 'egg-hatcher' who persuaded a neurodivergent friend of my son to go down a path that hasn't solved his [2] real problems but has added more problems.
Anyway, note that I used "when" in the ancestor statement. Can we at least agree on that part? Maybe more explicitly as "in the cases when it does you no harm... , and ..."?
(if we wish to discuss how relatively often that is or should be, I think I'll need more specific details)
PS. wow, and that's early Noon, too; not as dark as late Noon if rumours be true...
(again, this sounds like a good argument to have multiple parties, but good luck getting anything like that off the ground. I wonder how many primaries are open? With a closed primary, I'd think a "center party" might actually appeal to those who are getting whipped to the edges — if there are any of them left, that is)
Someone like Mamdani is strangely centre enough to get some of the "right-leaning" Gen Zs (mid or even lower high trollsters) to bounce off of Trump.
He just ain't the sorta centrist Scott was looking for.
Remember "Bernie bros"?
Bernie and Zohran don't have that school marm look.. Zohran beats Bernie in the semitic dept because (modal male urban "areligious") Gen Z Jew will vote for Zohran (!!!) over what the Dems might offer. Millennial Jews hesitated because Bernie was Jewish.
My hunch only ofc. (From anecdata >> polls)
We might have to go back to Tocqueville to see if, since 1775, American genius don't just think better, they just don't have to think!
Bodegas charge you a little bit more because a real human owner accepts the risk of serving a small community in exchange for being part of that community, and you pay that extra in order to make their existence possible.
Dollar Generals charge you a little bit more because a huge chain has driven out all the competition and you have no choice. The people who work there do not benefit from the extra you pay, and the owners are not members of the community.
There was no competition in many places dollar stores operate. They moved into those places specifically because they were underserved by larger retailers.
As soon as the roads are as smooth as they were in the 90s. I have a pet theory that wheels have gotten huge partly in response to deteriorating roads - larger diameter means less leverage against the suspension when hitting defects. It’s the same reason dirt bikes have large front wheels.
The aspect ratio (sidewall height) of tires has decreased in a lot of vehicles though. They are driving around with low profile rubber bands on the rims. Looks cool, but not much fun in the potholed mid-west.
