In other words STPA is a design review framework for finding some less obvious failure modes. FMEA is more popular but relies on making a list of all of the knowable failure modes in a system, but the failure modes you haven’t thought of do

A notebook is a REPL with an inline wiki. Of course it is not intended for running production code, it’s just an R&D environment to document, share, and test ideas

Article mentions people were raiding beaches for free building materials like sand and stone for concrete, which would be a problem at a large volume. Enforcing the same rules on individual souvenir collectors seems excessive.

Strongly recommend watching Andrej Karpathy’s “Lets build GPT-2” videos on YouTube which dives into an actual PyTorch implementation, then download the code and study it carefully. Then study “Spreadsheets is all you need” to see what the i

LLMs have a limited context size, i.e. the chat bot can only recall so much of the conversation. This project is building a knowledge graph of the entire conversation(s), then using that knowledge graph as a RAG database.

That’s pretty much correct. An LLM is often used rather like a forecast model that can forecast the next word in a sequence of words. When it’s generating output it’s just continuously forecasting (predicting) the next word of output. Your

Yes and me too! I fell for the same gov-looking web site scam when renewing a passport in a hurry, courtesy of Google paid search rankings. Do no evil, but how about earning money from evil doers?

I wonder how deeply the board and the rotating CEOs actually understand the technology and practicality of achieving AGI, or whether they are falling over themselves due to buying into the LLM hype.

I don’t think it’s Ivy League schools to blame for this as much as VCs willingness to buy/sell BS and hype when it’s coming from an Ivy League grad.

I can believe it. There are those skilled at performative intellectualism, i.e. sounding very smart and insightful, but the performance itself is the product, it is all they sell and offer. Whenever I hear a public speaker appealing to supp

Lookup edge service providers like Cloudflare or Akamia. If you’re hosted by a large cloud provider then look into their free and premium edge services offerings. Traffic can be filtered to allow legit users, and consider scaling up servers

Concurrency is like a single cook preparing many different recipes at the same time, and parallelism is multiple cooks in the same kitchen. Single-threaded processes can use async/await to context switch and it feels like parallelism b

Good preview of the near future of software dev, but I’m also wondering of the trend of companies forbids use of AI generated code do to copyright ambiguity. I suppose pressure to reduce cost as and move faster will overcome that concern.

That’s the whole point: the cost of commuting to the job plus taxes plus mandatory meal credit makes the entire job barely profitable. On top of that you’re always just one car breakdown away, or one illness away, or one gas price increase

I just ask ChatGPT at least 5 times using different prompts then take the most frequent response. The result is aligned correctly as long as you don’t resize the browser window.
