> I think it funny how much average engineers are beginning to discover the challenges of engineering leadership and program management.

This looks like we choose to hear what we want to hear.

The understanding argument is about making the point that "The point was always to augment" the human understanding when we worked with the machines.

Congrats on supporting Linux. It makes the ecosystem more rich. Hope they will continue to maintain it and provide parity support.

Eclipses have a special consequence to the human history. It is noted by Asimov that the first correct prediction of the Eclipse was done in May 28, 585 by Thales of Miletus and this event is considered the "Birth of Science". It took approximately 1500 years from the first (recorded) observation of eclipse (in china), the correct prediction of the solar eclipse in advance. This is truly marvelous.

Incidentally, unknown and not connected with the prediction, during the same eclipse, a 5 year battle between Medes and the Lydians came to stop as the armies got scared, if it was a divine intervention and they let their arms down.

For an introduction:

CHICKEN is a compiler that translates Scheme source files into C, which in turn can be fed to a C compiler to generate a standalone executable. An interpreter is also available and can be used as a scripting environment or for testing programs before compilation.

Such a sophisticated website with great details. Good luck on watching. I think, rest of folks in other parts of the word will be tuning in virtually.

> I’ve always believed the No.1 application of AI should be to improve human health. It’s time for AI to prove its unequivocal value to the world, and what better way to demonstrate that than to help finally cure diseases like cancer.

Here is someone spelling out explicitly what we should be discussing. More power to you, Demis Hassabis. Thank you!

Mental Health Data.

Shouldn't this be a private dataset?

The interesting thing is, US media, US social media driven by Big Tech algorithms, Google Search, nytimes, reddit, Social newsfeeds of students, teens, teachers is not exposing this at all. It feels like we are self-contained information exposure bubble too. Only a physical visit outside of US, and looking at the information from outside of US will give a picture of the mistakes being made here.

Your statement is a general one. But in this specific case, it seems like particular senator is using his personal vendetta and abusing his power with the help of secretary of health, and going after an individual, who has track record of over 40 years of serving in public health.

What are you talking about? Aren't private notes written on computer before you form your cohesive understanding?

I find this wildly disturbing development. Releasing his personal dairy and public harassment using lies and mis-construed statements.

Does it have Kindle X-Ray like features, like integration with Wikipedia or possibly integration with AI for contextual information?

This would be better if it was open source, and giving the option for the user to save the context in their storage (like Google drive) and load from it. I think, people might find it useful. The target audience could be folks who use claude , chatgpt on web or as desktop clients. They hardly know or care about .md files.

I think, we all are phrasing this wrong. Bun was <strike>rewritten</strike> retooled in Rust by AI with only ensuring integration tests and usage tests succeed. That's similar how to a C program was compiled to binary or Typescript was transpiled to Javascript and run. We didn't make a very big deal of it then, and I think, we should see this operation as a similar higher level source to source translation, which machines have been doing.

Writing code is a different thing.

I heard it first through the the book Leelavati's daugthers (2019). India's celebration of women in science.

An important context is, there is a large scale non-violent protest and a Gandhian fast lead by Sonam Wangchuk. https://x.com/Wangchuk66/status/2080471599237702014

Indian Government is struggling to address this issue at face. PM Modi hasn't responded to this in public. To address this, Government is taking into all sort of measures like blocking public communication and social media. Like they have done for other measures like for terrorism , control and govt lead propaganda to control the narrative.

It is interesting that they tried to do this app with a _miniscule_ usage. Usage might be so small, that they could have bothered less about it.

But since they did it, Jack Dorsey is now using his clout to share about this app and bring some light on the situation. With what we have seen with Twitter/X and not-standing up to Elon, let's just remember that Dorsey isn't champion of free speech either.

Why did the model have to hack the hugging face servers? Aren't the ones hosted by Hugging face downloadable over the Internet?

> [...] Finally, we have also reported this incident to law enforcement agencies.

Wow! Just wow. Is this the first registered cyber case against a model ?

I find it amusing that people who are talking about Dark Software Factories, are talking about productivity in terms of number of pull requests or commits as a unit.

If we are going in the Dark Software Factory route, why aren't we calling the code units as bos (bunch of shit) yet.

I built this for me to read the Homer's classic.

For education, isn't the problem we are trying to solve the one with motivation, values and emotional handling? The tools, play a part, but it is engulfed by the real problem mentioned before. How are you going to deal with it?

This is Excellent!

No, LLMs do not handle low resource / low corpus languages, including Sanskrit well.

India 2020, did happen.

There is also, Sourashtra, a surviving and a thriving of dialect of Prakrit (Souraseni Prakrit), which was a common man Sanskrit. Buddha is believed to taught in Prakrit.

Very nice. Enjoyed playing this. I know Chess, what is Roguelike here ?

What, you want to get fired?

Are they not available at archive.org or YouTube ?
