What changes did you make?

LAMP with dynamic webpages (I assume your approach) works just like it ever did (besides SSL) But are you really keen to make a PHP dynamic webpage application where each page impo…

Yeah, you are very right. If you start peaking success, you realize that while your happy path may work for 70% of real cases, it's not really optimal to convert for most of them. …

I would say I wouldn't agree, but maybe our language in common is why we don't agree - for example, the idea that coffee is 80% takeaway... this global report puts it at 65% in caf…

I totally agree with your suggestion for ordering, self-reporting the success and the "if x then imagine y!" you discuss and I get you didn't ask for criticism, but in your last ex…

As you age your interests and curiosity change, in ways you often don't see until later. Very common in computer science contexts. Young undergraduates always pick up the new tech …

Would you say LessWrong posts are dogmatic?

I think you're right. About 20-30% of product hunt products were AI in late 2022 for example, but very few of them then used .ai.

> your perspectives 90% gravity / 90% done is a bad perspective. You don't really have data on how long the false positives would have taken to succeed. Unfortunately, getting from…

100%. Dealing with 5 year old code is okay now. In 10 years it will cause you pain. It's like going back to an ex after you lose attraction. It never works out and hurts both parti…

Good advice and beware the difference between docker export (which will fail if you lack enough storage, since it saves volumes) and docker save. Running the wrong command might kn…

You'd like Milton Friedman and his take on pilot Unions too.

What's your patient/flexible technique? Let me know. And you are not a liar - but your claim isn't true at all in Europe - see increased per-flight legislated fees and the loss of …

Single also differs from being in a childless couple e.g. in your early 20s. To get on the ladder today, 5 years sharing rent is priceless. Then once you do, you get child benefits…

What packs do you buy where it is much more cheaper? Frozen > 5kg or so?

This is part of why France lost status for large events and organisations in the early-mid 20th Century until now. Quite large political swings at regular intervals and fairly read…

So that adaptive system sounds really cool and useful for those bursts of formative assessment. And if the baseline is 100% boring textbook reading, ofcourse that is better. But if…

> Research shows low-stakes assessment is when the moment of learning often happens Okay, but psychology research like this needs to be taken with context on long term behavior. Is…

Can I engage you on this as someone who once shared your view? Not to say I believe my view is better now, but maybe you can learn from my experiences. Not everyone has this reacti…

the release and research cycles are still contracting Not necessarily progress or benchmarks that as a broader picture you would look at (MMLU etc) GPT-3 was an amazing step up fro…

Artistic rendering, yes. It's not usually something new, afterall. Incredibly divulged from really rendering what scientists want to communicate about something somewhat visual wit…

> privately-owned surveillance cameras that are "voluntarily" offered to law enforcement You may find interesting to know that in the case of crimes being committed near or next to…

That's a real difference when something is your final responsibility too (as team lead or an architect). You think of it differently, you predict and anticipate changes better. It'…

People matter, you need to be communicating to keep communicating up, not get stuck repeating yourself and losing your soul. It keeps accountability up. You need diversity in your …

Well inability to own a house was a major prelude to the 1930s economic and later conflict issues, particularly in western Europe (where it was more expensive in places like Britai…
