I am a huge proponent of Rails "convention over configuration" - I'd like to propose a new standard in the AI era "well thought out conventions OVER letting the agents run wild"
"..The indiscriminate use of powerful solution extraction tools can achieve the immediate short-term goal of solving problems at hand...at the cost of sustaining the ecosystem for the next wave of progress, or in understanding the progress already obtained." -- Terrance Tao
Innovation can often be a few independent ideas living under one new roof.
Jobs announced the iPhone as three ideas in one: an iPod, a phone, and an internet browser.
AI (LLM’s, agents) are a time machine for intellectual pursuits: in labor and effort.
However: they are no silver bullet at understanding, describing or explaining. They struggle to find the ansatz.
May humans and this new, different kind of intellect, forever be friends.
That feeling when you’ve already burned the hours in years past so the explanation and application today is effort free and instant:
“Now, this briefing has the benefit of their experience.” — Tenet
“The safest way to try and get what you want is to try and deserve what you want. It’s such a simple idea. It’s the golden rule, so to speak. You want to deliver to the world what you would buy if you were on the other end.” - Charlie Munger
4/ Indeed hardship itself is defined by lacking the material to fix it. Some hardships: a father, a season, a lack of opportunity - nothing known can fix. But the qualities of the soul? Indeed, no known thing may take them from you - and only by your free will may they be formed.
3/ Hardships - namely: 1. Inequality (deprivation after optimal choices), 2. Consequence (deprivation from poor choices), 3. Challenge (chosen) - are the only paths that reveal the soul. For how is any quality of the soul known, unless tested under deprivation?
1/ Materialism - in all its forms - cannot solve any problem of the human soul. Indeed, capitalism may optimally solve material distribution under preference and inherent inequality - but no possession can solve lacking connection, purpose, hope or meaning.
“A man has made at least a start on discovering the meaning of human life when he plants shade trees under which he knows full well he will never sit.”
Difficulty of attainment is a poor measure for value - so often we are in pursuit of that which distinguishes, that lets us feel, than that which is true.
@pulkit_mittal_ Estimate “bytes per line” then step “~500k lines in” & find EOL breakpoint. Repeat. Every time fork off job to import that chunk. Add retry mechanisms, bulk writes, etc. On failure, flag chunk. Write to “chunks” table status of chunk - manually fix chunks that have issues.
