- Tornado is a Python web framework and asynchronous networking library designed for handling long-lived network connections. It is built to be non-blocking and uses an event loop to manage all operations. While Tornado itself does not rely on a thread pool for its core operations, it provides interfaces for integrating with thread pools (e.g.,

Neuroplasticity allows your brain to rewire and convert something deliberate (and strainful) into something reflexive (and automatic).

Laws of strength and conditioning:1. Progressive Overload: At whatever you want to improve at, you need to progressively overload. Adaptation is a byproduct of stress (more reps, load, higher complexity, shorter time frame,…)2. Exercises themselves do not determine adaptation. The application (sets, reps, load, time) determine it. This precedes the... See more

People think of browser extensions as brittle: a site changes its CSS selectors, and bam the extension breaks.
But I think the opposite: it's wild how *resilient* browser extensions often are!
Consider the context: I can extend any aspect of a webapp UI, with zero support or foresight by the original app devs... and it actually works?

We expect AI technology to advance over time for two reasons. First, algorithmic progress - people learn how to make AIs in cleverer ways. Second, hardware progress - Moore’s Law produces faster, cheaper computers, so for a given budget, we can train/run the AI on more powerful hardware. A pause might slow algorithmic progress very slightly, with... See more
Scott Alexander • Pause For Thought: The AI Pause Debate
I agree. OpenAI and Meta are waiting for the delivery of the new Nvidia Chips to start training the next version of GPT and LLaMa respectively. A pause in development would not do any good.
A suggested benefit for a pause would be to focus research on alignment. I think we would have to create a regulatory mandate for alignment for it to be effective.

Welcome to Dagster! If you’re here, you probably have questions about data, orchestration, Dagster, and how everything fits together.
Let’s start with the basics: What’s an orchestrator?
Orchestrators allow you to automatically execute a series of steps and track the results. They not only enable you and your team to see... See more

Don't just randomly draw boxes and arrows. There are some important, well-defined diagrams that are extremely useful for software dev:
→ Sequence diagrams
→ Architecture diagrams
→ Entity-relationship diagrams
→ State machine diagrams
→ Component diagrams (dependencies)

The way to avoid it is to aim for what Wes calls the minimum viable backstory . Ask yourself: What’s the minimum backstory necessary to set the context, so we can spend time on the important stuff?

Backstory = waffle. It’s the sidebars, tangents, preamble, and background info that’s hardly related to your main point.
Context = relevant info to what you want to talk about. It’s part if your actual story.
