On a higher level it might make sense to build the expertise that comes with base training.
I dont know enough about the process to estimate these gains, but china has been doing it in manufacturing for decades.
All the money in the world is useless when no one knows how to do the thing
They will also be faster in space. Relatively.
The data transmission might be the bottleneck then, but who knows - a rocket full of ssds might go a long way.
I don't disagree with you, but I think it's important to remember that ambiguous laws are also a feature of modern societies. Laws have to be ambiguous, for one because the real world cannot be codified into abstract laws perfectly, and because separation of power is a fundamental part of how our society works. Judges are supposed to apply the law to specific cases. Thus lawmakers get to decide the wording but judges get to decide how to use it. If there was no room for ambiguity, we would not need any judges.
As others have noted being smart will enable you to comprehend more of the World around you. This will in turn increase the amount of negativity you can be exposed to.
But in my opinion this ultimately comes down to your thinking patterns. Those must be practiced and learned. If you do not make an effort to adopt positive thinking patterns about the information you perceive you will become unhappy, as the negative patterns appear to be the default. What you become aware of, how you process it and form a conclusion, is your subjective experience.
Most people agree that exercise is healthy for your body. But if your form is lacking you can injure yourself quite severely.
In my experience, low self esteem and harboring negative emotions can be the cause of a "bad thinking form".
I strongly agree. I am not bragging (it's not even really impressive) when I say I have an IQ of around 125-130, depending on the test. We often get professional psychometric tests here in Denmark while we're interviewing for cognitively demanding jobs.
As a child I was profoundly depressed. I absorbed everything around me, and the negative stimuli affected me to a far greater degree. I'm not sure if that's innate or if my surroundings were in fact unfortunately negative. It wasn't until the age of 25 (which is itself an interesting age for the prefrontal cortex) that I was better able to control my thinking patterns. I used cognitive behavioural therapy methods in combination with lifestyle improvements (including exercise, sleep, alcohol, drugs, career, friends, money, country, and living arrangements). I figured out how to not hate living. I'm grateful I was stubborn enough to persevere that long. There were dark times.
I had friends who were not bright. They didn't absorb as much as I did. They weren't phased by the negative things around them to the degree I was. I envied them immensely.
I'm glad it worked for you. Lifestyle interventions had a positive impact on me as well but depression can be much more complex/stubborn and it affects everyone differently.
It's not just maladaptive thought patterns or beliefs that make it harder to feel happy or function normally. Chronic depression can shape the trajectory of your life in ways that are difficult to undo. So even treatments that increase flexibility(like SSRIs or ketamine) can't necessarily convince you to put on rose-tinted glasses and see the world differently.
In my personal experience, escaping depression also seems to get harder the longer you've had it. It can create catch22 situations and strong path dependencies that severely limit your ability to change the circumstances that are helping keep you depressed in the first place.
I agree, and my experiences acho yours. I was put onto SSRIs at age six, which is highly unusual - especially at the time. It was not an easy hole to climb out of.
Looks very nice.
Last year I took up rust, coming from c++, and some of the modern features rust brings are just so nice to have (even something as simple as not having to forward declare a class).
This year I started working with postgres and you just can't help but notice how sql is coming from the c-Era of programming. Having better and more modern ways to express my queries would be great to improve correctness and performance.
I am the author of Datalevin, a Datalog database. In addition to using it in production personally, I am aware of other people using it. So, the answer is yes.
AI programming using English makes the database query language choice more important than before. Different languages require different context sizes. A better language is one requires less tokens and context.
So this really is a NL to query translation problem. That exactly is why the target language matters. Simpler target languages makes AI’s work easier, as it saves tokens and context, so it is less likely for AI to make mistakes.
> …can't help but notice how sql is coming from the c-Era of programming. Having … more modern ways to express my queries would be great to improve correctness …
SQL is based in pure mathematics: set theory, relational algebra.
The process of applying mathematical rigor to your database design to prove correctness is referred to as normalization.
I don’t mind criticisms like “It’s old, yuck”, but criticisms like “it’s not correct” mean you haven’t studied or applied the mathematical underpinnings of sql.
Syntax aside, programmers and mathematicians have a very different view on how things should be done.
Programmers look at data and see opportunities for running a pipeline of transformations (map/filter/...). And they tend to write their SQL like this as well. Or use something like Linq or one of the various pipe syntax SQL extensions.
I would say that this is a major reason why there is this sentiment of "SQL is yucky" by developers. The mental models just don't match.
Data storage and retrieval is a different domain than data processing. SQL is very good at the former, not so great for the latter.
SQL is closer to array programming than the usual imperative implementation of looping (and stream programming like the one in Java and Javascript). A better implementation is functional programming like haskell and clojure (lazy and composition of functions).
I think developers should be able to switch their mental model on the fly according to the current domain instead of getting stuck in the first paradigm they have learned.
Or they did a proper Software Engineer degree that teached on how to use SQL properly, including implementing their own toy SQL engine backed by B-Tree indexes, with raw i-node blocks for storage.
Looks really good!
Do you have plans to add vr support to it? The ar button didn't work on my phone so I could not try it.
A couple of years ago I did a small woodworking project and used my vr headset do do the design. It was really fun to iterate on the piece in 3d space, but the software i used was not made for that so some actions were rather tedious. An agent, with voice support for the actions that are not fun to do with vr controllers, would make it awesome.
Try using the export drop down menu ios/android specific AR links, that will download a file you can open natively on-device. I will debug the 'view in ar' button today, thank you for the report.

Yes! I played with a SketchUp VR extension a few years ago and it was so close to cool, but in reality practically useless because of poor controls. I lack VR hardware right now, but am building with that surface in mind.
I think, apart from finding better Batteries altoghether, we should build multi-tier batteries inspired by biology.
Humans have bloodsugar, sugar in the Liver and then fat. All of them have their respective properties with availability and amount. This way, engineering tradeoffs could be allocated much more fine grained.
For example, a while ago I read about a startup building an energy storage where they heat up large amounts of sand to store the surplus of renewables. This could serve analogous to the fat in humans.
CATL is kinda doing that for EVs. They're making battery packs that are a blend of sodium-ion and lithium-ion.
Sodium-ion isn't as energy dense as lithium-ion and it has a slightly smaller power efficiency, but it's a lot cheaper, has better cold resistance, and can deliver more power at low states of charge.
Use the two together and the thinking is you can get a sweet spot that performs better across a wider range of conditions your cars are likely to experience.
Humans do that because we're big and extra complicated. The closest analogue is probably a hybrid car, though ideally you'd want one that can create synthetic fuel from its battery. But I suspect cellphones are properly analogous to e.g. bacteria that have much simpler energy storage.
I think I've heard of sodium, lithium hybrids. But that's only 2, what's the fat? Gasoline, LPG hybrid? Shit gets expensive fast. Probably 2x cost of just a sodium or ion EV? The human body is too amazing.
That reminds me of the gel packs in the USS Voyager. At some point they became “infected” and they needed to the raise their temperatures to let them destroy the infection!
Most of the things that we copy directly from humans do not work in terms of robustness.
Its like instead of harddrive use human DNA to store the data for 3T years,but no-one is mentioning the bandwidth speed here(which is the most important thing) etc,
I know it has some usecases.Also "one spoon butter is more energy dense than a battery"
but how we are gonna use butter(I dont know enough bio) but it is way harder to convert energy .
