Well, I’m doing a new erlang project at a large financial institution; there are a certain class of problems that are best solved by it. I don’t think elixir is a better target; erlang is overall a better language, once you get over the initial syntax.
Mostly our crud services or apis are better served by java or go tho.
It leads to K-shaped education where parents who recognize the deficiency of public education simply teach their kids math themselves or hire private tutors. Public education used to be a force for equality of knowledge in the country. Now it perversely does the opposite, all in the name of education!
At least in elementary school I don't see the deficiency in common core math compared to what I had 30 years ago. My kid has been exposed to a wide variety of topics sooner than I was, and she's way stronger in word problems on top of that. Do people have a specific complaint with elementary school common core math that we should be teaching but aren't, or vice versa? Or is it more problematic later?
One thing I notice is there seem to be far more students who finish elementary school unable to comfortably do basic math in their head (stuff like 17+36 or 144 or even basic multiplication tables like 38).
I really think left-right and honest-dishonest are useless dimensions to evaluate Congress members on. The job practically requires ideological fuzziness and truth stretching to get anything done. This is a feature: legislatures that require high ideological purity tend to become rubber stamps. DPRK is a good example.
My belief is that to a large extent the art of politics is the art of bothsidesing and rationalizing away your integrity for common aims. And that when applied correctly, these common aims can be used to benefit the public. Look at systems where you can't bothesides (also known as finding common ground and compromising) or rationalize the integrity of other members (also known as acting in good faith). I suspect you will not find the results of these political bodies to have preferable results to the American Congress!
Honestly, I'm from NJ and I'm still shocked they actually charged Gold Bar Bob for what he did. He's so influential in NJ politics, I thought they'd let him get away with it like he did all the other bribes he's taken over the years. I guess literal gold bars from Egypt with obvious provenance was just too on the nose.
Interesting. I like it. Now let's say I currently use the OS process as my primitive for agents, just spawning `claude "foo bar baz"`, and orchestrating this way, using perhaps Unix style of files for intermediate data and piping for transformations. What would you are some good use cases of Druid for someone like me?
It’s like saying you don’t want to exercise because it induces tachycardia and hypertension. The point is that you are training your body to adapt to overstimulation in a context and dose dependent manner.
The singularity doesn't mean that we get an AGI Day with a big announcement from The People In Charge that intelligence has been solved once and for all. It simply means that the frequency of "this changes everything" and "rumored model X at lab Y passes benchmark Z at 110% in less-than-zero-shot" style posts increases monotonically for ever.
Or it will just become seen as a category error. We don't often go around talking about "artificial general strength" or "artificial super-strength", even though it's easy to build a claw arm which can exert more force in any direction than any human can.
