Auto has really made c++ unapproachable to me. It's hard enough to reason about anything templated, and now I frequently see code where every method returns auto. How is any one supposed to do a code review without loading the patch into their IDE?

Same in Java and Kotlin, but then again, the majority of people who write code wouldn't understand what I mean when I say "whether a collection is returned as List or Set is an important part of the API 'contract'".

Good news: Here's a cute video of Todd being habituated to the setup: https://x.com/yolorun_capital/status/1999598643339227564

Bad news: no video of them playing on this setup, just on the previous version. We iterated on v2 too long, our pet rats grew old and couldn't be trained. We open-sourced the hardware and software so others can build upon it. You can TLDR the whole thing in this thread: https://x.com/yolorun_capital/status/1996632980903620886?s=2...

...Also, here's my personal X, dm me if you have any questions, or would want to build it for a lab or for yourself: https://x.com/viktor_thoth

How can you go through this immense effort and not have and show a video of the rats playing?

What does the orange-utan has to do with this ?

The free rein of the CIA and associated atrocities have been the same under every US president.

Alligator Alcatraz is a Trump original.

> The free rein of the CIA and associated atrocities have been the same under every US president.

You are absolutely right, but not always is this kind of stuff that directly supported by the president.

The thing that bothers me the most about LLMs is how they never seem to understand "the flow" of an actual conversation between humans. When I ask a person something, I expect them to give me a short reply which includes another question/asks for details/clarification. A conversation is thus an ongoing "dance" where the questioner and answerer gradually arrive to the same shared meaning.

LLMs don't do this. Instead, every question is immediately responded to with extreme confidence with a paragraph or more of text. I know you can minimize this by configuring the settings on your account, but to me it just highlights how it's not operating in a way remotely similar to the human-human one I mentioned above. I constantly find myself saying, "No, I meant [concept] in this way, not that way," and then getting annoyed at the robot because it's masquerading as a human.

You obviously never wasted countless hours trying to talk to other people on online dating apps.

I’m really curious what their rollout procedure is, because it seems like many of their past outages should have been uncovered if they released these configuration changes to 1% of global traffic first.

That's interesting.

I did everything he mentions in "Transparent Leadership," but also the stuff he talks about in "Curling Parenting."

I did it for 25 years. Seemed to work. I kept my job.

In my company, Personal Integrity and Honesty were very important. Not sure how representative that is, in today's world. It was an old-fashioned Japanese corporation.

If the dishonesty worked, you never know it happened!

So you can never tell how much of it there really is…

1D? One dimensional? So it‘s just an unfathomably long line?

In which direction does it glide?

The majority of people with insider knowledge that are trading stocks will either use their knowledge to increase their gains or will tell their close friends and family.

Anyone who disagrees must be new to humanity.
