TBF, they could have explained that better in the post.
The goal is maintaining a continuous stream of revenue, not killing the stream for short term gains.
I have many coworkers who work very hard on this problem.
The claim that Google does not care about ads integrity runs counter to my experience.
An editing pass to make the prose less "punchy" would be great.
I _want_ to write code for my job.
Unfortunately, this is exactly the direction the industry is heading.
I got into this industry because I enjoy programming, and I wanted to get paid for what I enjoy.
It sucks that the fun part of the job is gone.
That's a pretty big smear if you want to convert an existing clock from one to the other.
It's on the blog post by Tejas Kumar [1], when the viewport width is narrow.
The two are useful for different layers of abstraction: regex is for lexing and PEG is for parsing.
Speaking of the Chomsky hierarchy, last I checked, it is still unproven whether or not PEGs can parse all context free languages. Intuitively, they're _probably_ weaker than CFGs, but no one has yet provided a counter example.
Like, no company should be storing anything but a salted hash of their users' passwords.
But, at least with the Navier-Stokes solution, it's clear [^1] that they learned that Alpöge and Buckmaster were getting close to a solution and learned of the general approach they were taking. Only after learning the secret to cracking the problem did they send the first prompt.
What makes this worse to me is the intention. They intentionally threw $15 million in compute at the problem in order to scoop the result. They intentionally left Buckmaster and Alpöge out of the citations.
Data contamination should be enough to disqualify them from the prize, but I can believe it to be accidental. On the other hand, someone made an intentional decision to scoop the result by throwing money at the problem. That's so much worse.
[^1]: That's the timeline claimed by Buckmaster, and no one from OAI has disputed it.
Well, a whole team plus $15 million in compute spend.
(That's what OAI would have charged for the same number of tokens.)
To me, code is a creative endeavor. I know that this isn't a universal feeling, but to me the act of creating is more personally valuable than the creation. So when I read code that I wrote (with the help of a tool) that doesn't sound like me, I feel like I have robbed myself of something that I find personally important.
My employer, or anyone else, doesn't care and probably shouldn't care about my experience during the act of creating. The creation is what matters to the external world.
But like, I don't think I'm alone in valuing my own creativity.
(And please don't misunderstand. I'm definitely not arguing that code produced should be "clever" or "creative" in the other sense of the word. I'm just talking about the experience of creativity.)
This is fine at work, I guess. I'm not being asked to sound like myself. I'm being asked to convey an idea to an audience as efficiently as possible, both in terms of my time and theirs.
But I can't shake the feeling that the LLMs are eating my soul.
I still don't use them often to write code. Not that I have issue with those that do, but that sounding like myself in code is a part of my soul that I'm having difficulty giving up.
My office is in walking distance of my home. I get great office perks (lunch, coffee, quality meeting rooms, good desk and workspace). And having a second space for work that is not my home is great for my mental health and WLB.
All of my meetings are still video conferences. Doesn't move the needle for me.
I choose to be in office 5 days a week even though only 2 are required, and it's been great for my productivity.
WFO in a shitty office is still a shitty experience, but an actually good office space is a productivity boost IME.
Which is dumb. The canonical spec for .env should just be "whatever POSIX sh does."
If anything, the argument works better as a reason to remove gray from the list.
Gray is not the default color theme on macOS. The default is blue. So the criticism about using right/left to distinguish on/off doesn't really apply. In reality, the use of color disambiguates the on and off states. Just like the physical toggle example it's being compared against.
That's not to say there aren't problems with toggles, but the article's core argument falls apart if you use any color theme other than gray.
CEO of <thing> is a layer above SVP.
Google has many layers of management.
# PURPLE FRAME #
Our mission is to draw a purple frame around the canvas. 2 rows of blank space between the frame and the top/bottom of the canvas. 4 cols of blank space between the frame and the left/right of the canvas.
In fact, the trigger to all of this was a scheduled talk by Jay Bhattacharya, Director of the NIH and a controversial political figure.
It seems silly to imply that politics are to be excluded from the conference at all costs when the ADA regularly invites political speakers to that same conference.
Do you believe that handing out copies of this editorial constituted inappropriate behavior? If so, why?
