Back in the Spiderman 2 days, I worked for a content management company that was supporting a really, really big website. I believe they were playing host file games for Stage/Prod.

"Both cloudformation stacks were identical (instance names, etc)."

This is why it's a good practice to include the environment name in the resource names when it makes sense. Even better, don't append the env name, but use it as a prefix, like ProdCustomerDb instead of CustomerDbProd. I also like to change the theme to dark mode in the production environments as most management UIs support this. One other neat trick is to color code PS1 in your Linux instances, like red for prod, green for dev.
I always say: We ( Software developers ) are ALREADY working as high a level as possible, and invest aggressively when we can see we can cut out work that does not add business value. Compare local data centers, to AWS, to Kubernetes.

The reason we use text is because it is information dense, portable, and easier to refactor. If drawing lines between shapes could have these same properties I am sure we would use them.

We are not manufacturing work for ourselves, we are not hiding "the good stuff" in the back to force people to continue to pay us.

If someone comes up with a perfect no-code solution it will be a multi billion-dollar revolution.
> vehicle for doing mathematics with intuitionistic logic, and in particular denying the law of excluded middle

I think this is the basis for the enthusiasm, almost entirely. There's a growing perception that a lot of mathematical abstractions that are purely naval-gazing have arisen from ZFC, and the intuitionalists and finitists are gaining followers amongst amateur and upcoming mathematicians. I don't have data to back this, just a feeling that I get.

And I think in particular this is attractive to programmers because this skews closer to what we've learned about computability and program design, and I think there's even some hope of moving forward from obscure notation and single-letter variable names towards a syntax for doing mathematics that can be more expressive and easier to verify.
Never underestimate the PUBG Mobile/Genshin Impact demographic basically.

There's a lot of corner cases there where certain consumers value it a lot.

Also performance per watt is a huge deal. The expanded power envelope that improved PPW brings allows 120hz displays which are battery hogs.
This assumes there is an untapped supply of developers across the nation and that all a company has to do is look outside of the traditional tech hubs, but that is not the case. The tech hubs grew in a self-fulfilling cycle, attracting nearly the entire supply of competent developers.

Now that supply is spreading across the country because remote work is easier, but that doesn't change the number of developers that these companies are competing for. I doubt that the supply/demand curves will move much at all.
So? Just work with them on a carbon tax instead of denying the problem. A lot of these "activists" would happily take a revenue-neutral carbon tax that returns money to people via UBI. They don't have a snowball's chance of achieving all that other stuff so who cares?

Denying climate change is also tied to a political identity.
If UX is user experience, the user flows of a product/application and how people generally feel about using/interacting with it.

The DX is the developer experience. It follows a similar idea. How do you feel about using git? What about Visual Studio Code versus neovim? How do you like using Elm? What don't you like about.

Think about all the libraries or frameworks you use. Some of them clearly offer a better experience than others, these are the types of things that affect the DX.

Take documentation for example, a piece of tech (whether it be an IDE, library, or CLT) with proper documentation full of examples, usage, and recipes is extremely nice. I would favor tech that has better documentation over others, documentation is just one part of the DX. Not the only part, but hopefully you can start to see what can increase or decrease the DX.
Huge risks with little short term gain. Being first, from their POV, has no reward in this short-term world we live in. They have to change almost every part of their business, it is just easier to ignore or work against progress. I worked 15 years ago, they hope the same strategy will work today.

I cannot view new messages on mobile without putting Chrome in Desktop Mode. In mobile view it always shows me the same old moderator message instead of new ones.

Since it's been like that for so long, I have to assume it's deliberate. Some executive at Reddit decided they were going to try to break things to force people into the app.
I remember from that time in school more about global cooling especially aerosols and a lot of concerns about over-population.

Of course smog was a concern too, but the science has definitely evolved since we were in school.
That's certainly part of it. But I think it's also the same reason Kodak invented the digital camera and then ignored it. It was more profitable to keep doing what they were doing, and they were so invested in it.

The automobile industry has invested hundreds of billions, if not trillions, of dollars into R&D for the internal combustion engine.
I'm a huge skeptic of no-code among my friends and colleagues.

But seeing how pretty much everyone else here is also expressing skepticism, let me play devil's advocate.

I recognize that the utopian promise of no-code is nonsense. There will always be feature demands that violate the "on-rails" nature of the environment, and either require supplementary code, or require waiting for the platform's coders to code up support, or require rebuilding the application from the ground-up.

That said, there are all sorts of applications that really are so narrow that an existing GUI can accommodate them. Other posters here have called out Excel/Sheets as an example; Wordpress, Squarespace and WYSIWYG web page editors are another. As a coder, I always feel frustrated by WYSIWYG interfaces' side effects, limitations, and inevitable bugs, but people do use them all the time, productively.

Of course, both web editors and spreadsheets do involve the ability to write code! It's just that the code's role is very narrow and limited to a small expressive range (CSS, say, or various SUMs and HLOOKUPs).

When the domain is relatively narrow and its boundaries are pretty clear, no-code can be wonderful. The real question, right now, is whether applications that are innovative can be built using "no-code" tools that necessarily assume all sorts of limitations.

I have seen some clever and impressive uses of, say, Airtable + Zapier + Typeform. That sort of "API-weaving" seems to me the most promising direction for no-code. I'm more skeptical of the projects, like bubble.io, which try to be a sort of Photoshop-for-building-applications.
Human thought and attention isn't fungible. I can think about my job for a certain amount of time and then my productivity plummets, I can read for pleasure for a certain amount of time before I get antsy and my mind drifts, and so on. There's no "cure" for this because humans are intrinsically capable of stepping outside of the system and imagining what else we could be doing at a given moment; getting in the zone is a way to quiet this line of thinking, but humans have a specific amount of "zone" in them and that's it.
So Jack Ma being one of 88 million communist party members in China means his company is fully owned by the Chinese government? What are you smoking?
You also have an argument with saccades, not just the eye's blind spot.

And in looking closely at electrical currents, is there really an entity or is it just a of collection independent electrons acting on each other?

Still, to look at the current and imagine that collective action creates a higher order entity (like the water in a river) is really poetic -- even if it doesn't turn out to be the case.
They optimize SRAM far in advance of introducing the process, after all this is one of the most critical components. It's very unlikely you'll see any further SRAM improvement on this process, but a process optimization can improve it (and everything else).
If someone is a programmer and is trying to disable safety features making it slightly harder to do so doesn't really seem like the solution.

Bill Kristol/Jonathan Last: Demographic Baby Bust and Its Consequences (2020)
I think Cubical Type Theory (derived from HoTT) is a part of the future for general-purpose dependently-typed programming -- it has canonicity, which I'd argue is necessary for a general-purpose programming language, and it being suitable for a foundation of mathematics nigh-guarantees it's powerful enough to express whatever properties are useful in the domain.
To be fair, this is because they have to tie their side since the others are tied as well. When one side has the support of the ruling party, you need some sort of way to rally people and, sadly, politicizing issues is the quickest way out. Many of their calls, which you summarized in an unflattering way, are also about making sure that CO2 emissions aren't encouraged and basically not allowed. Having a tax isn't going to stop them so people are calling for radical solutions. Is that a good thing? I'd say no but it's better than denying it or saying the problem is overblown, like many seem to. I'd rather people worry too much than not at all.
At least I know in advance not to purchase this device/service.
Why does it make human-like predictions as if it knows about reality? Because it's essentially pattern-matching the consensus of the literature it was trained on. Literature as a whole will tend to settle on a consensus sentiment, albeit one that is probably significantly behind the current consensus sentiment (it takes time to accumulate enough mass to move the weights). If your interactions with GPT-3 fall into the rather sizeable consensus that most people either subscribe to or are familiar with then it will certainly prove a decent mimic of understanding. If, however, you attempt to teach it a novel concept or if you dig into its interactions long enough to test for depth of understanding you run into the gaps and GPT-3 either begins to mimic that bullshit artist everyone knows that claims to know things but is only regurgitating platitudes and buzzwords or it begins to mimic behavior that would make you question whether it was sober and/or sane.

There's little doubt that GPT-3 could hold its own quite well in a bout of polite conversation and/or small talk that features in many social situations but that's more a commentary on the limited area of knowledge and behavior that etiquette expects for interactions in such settings.

It could also be trained on the canon of Shakespeare and behave as a prior work of Shakespeare, but if you left one play out of that canon and then attempted to have GPT-3 generate that missing work it wouldn't... at all. It doesn't approximate how Shakespeare thought, it approximates the literature he produced that you used for training.

None of this is to denigrate the achievement that GPT-3 represents, it is merely to point out that it is unfair to GPT-3 to attempt to hold it to the standards of AGI.
This is about 35% denser than intel 10nm, and not a theoretical number.
For those who are not familiar, AWG stands for Arbitrary Waveform Generator.
What would constitute "unconscious"?

Having your performance degraded to the level of a chaotic, finite state machine? (Or is one of those also conscious?)

Inability to pass the Turing test? (But then "unconscious" [???] machines can pass that.)

Consciousness is such a meme.
I suppose this is indicative of the kind of thinking that leads someone to concern themselves with problems we are causing for future generations and millions of Bangladeshis.

I agree - but I also think a perfect no-code solution will meet initial resistance. Just like binary to assembly did, and assembly to C did, and C to python did, etc. etc.

People always resist the next level of abstraction. Either because they have to relearn something, or because there's some status associated with it being hard, or something else. It's just the nature of people for most to resist the new abstraction.

This doesn't mean the perfect no-code solution is here, but just because people are dismissing it at first also isn't evidence that it's not.

I think there's a lot more we could do with just visualizations around making the regular programming tooling way better: http://worrydream.com/#!/LearnableProgramming
It was mostly a joke meant to play off the idea that avoiding a cult because it's something like superstitious is itself a superstitious action.

But since the joke didn't go over and I'm in explainer mode anyway, the kernel of truth in the joke is simply that the word cult here is obviously a tongue in cheek reference to how excited the early adopters are about the tech, and acting like it's evidence of some deeper shadiness is probably assigning more meaning to the word/phenomenon than it deserves. And changing one's behavior as though the meaning they imagine is real, well... there's a word for that ;)
My wife and I experience this on a regular basis. We even tested it. Picked a subject that is never a conversation piece, we spoke about it with our phones and Amazon's Alexa near by and guess what: an ad that we have never seen showed up within hours that was directly related to this subject...
We are convinced that our conversation is minimally listened to if not recorded (for AI training purposes of course).
Would hate to be the guy that had to count all those transistors.

The only thing on the list that's related to Vercel is the analytics platform. Even that is clearly listed as something you can leverage via your own provider.
Indeed, "List of fatal dog attacks in the United States (2010s)" is currently the 15th longest article on Wikipedia. "Taikyoku shogi" is far behind but still respectable at #80. But of course neither can touch the absolute epic "List of Red vs. Blue episodes".

>The tech hubs grew in a self-fulfilling cycle, attracting nearly the entire supply of competent developers.

This is a wild statement and I would guess it is coming from someone who hasn't spent much time professionally outside of tech hubs. There are tech jobs and competent developers everywhere. They just exist in a higher concentration in tech hubs.
I lost my sunglasses when I was wearing them! We were going to a state park for a hike. It was a 2 hr ride for which I was wearing my sunglasses but forgot. As we came out of the car to start the hike, I spent 5 minutes searching for my sunglasses in my backpack until my friend asked what I was searching for .... Maybe I should be saying "sunglasses on" from now on
This resonates with me. Years ago I took down a service in a cell accidentally (Googlers might empathize: never 'borg' when you meant to 'borgcfg'). If I had been asked to enter the exact number of tasks I was about to nuke, I might have thought twice ;)
I live in the Midwest (unfortunately), and despite interviewing quite well it has been difficult to actually get those interviews while living in the Midwest. Previously on HN there were some interesting articles about bias against Midwesterners.

There's many great developers outside of SV but they're typically doing boring Windows-centric finance or engineering support work.
> The meaningful achievement is how many discrete electrical components are composed into a given area. Not some arbitrary dimension of some cherry picked subset of these components.

I disagree. The meaningful achievement is how power-efficient, fast, and cheap you can make a given chip. (Secondarily, how small and how durable wrt cosmic rays; but for most purposes these are not super important.)

If that follows as a result of many discrete electrical components being packed into a small area, great; but the latter isn't intrinsically interesting.
It shouldn't, but international borders are a lot harder to cross (for both people and goods) and so this prevents prices from normalizing across countries.
Invert it and I think it works. Always prepare to stop at an intersection. Then point out it is green and call out you do not need to engage in stopping.

It may seem silly, but if we asked people who drive 30+ minutes every day if they have every accidentally ran a stop sign or red light, I suspect the numbers would be quite high (though they likely happen at times/places where chance of accidents are the smallest, such as empty roads late at night).
I'm part of a compiler research group and we use GIT LFS to maintain history of the binary releases of our compiler (sac2c). Our perspective on this is that we can more closely relate the binaries to release notes, bug reports, etc. by leveraging systems like Gitlab.

> What gap is this referring to?

When computers were still a fairly new phenomenon, it was assumed that they would be an absolute game-changer and that productivity would go through the roof, objectively quantified in terms of revenue per employee. Productivity has in fact gone up, but not by leaps and bounds, and this is a puzzle to economists and other social scientists who study this sort of thing.

Cf. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Productivity_paradox
Which is why if you want to build a box that holds 1000 dice, you need to take into account the +/- tolerances in your build process. At a guess, you'd probably want to build at something like [dimensions] + 2*[tolerance]. So if your build process produced a 10cm cube with +/- 1mm, you'd want to build a 10.2mm cube so even a worse-case -1mm tolerance issue you'd still have +1mm of and so still be able to get the dice in without using force. And assuming the dice themselves didn't have some crazy high tolerance ranges.

I've got a side-gig/hobby making stuff, and the the 2x tolerance works pretty well as a rule of thumb for me, but the project type, material, and application probably play a big part in those considerations. Any industrial/mechanical/materials engineer care to weigh in?
I'm not sure you are serious, but eDRAM isn't a direct replacement for SRAM. At best it's useful for L3 or L4 cache given the inherently higher latencies.

I think we just have to accept that silicon scaling is slowing down.

A little bit off-topic, but Hardy Heron was my first Linux distro. For reference this was on 2008. One more release after Groovy Gorilla and the naming convention goes back to the letter H.

I'm really happy that Ubuntu is still around and that Canonical is offering support for installing Ubuntu on the raspberry pi. I think a lot of kids with access to a Raspberry Pi lying around will probably have fun just installing and trying out this distro.

> you cannot conclude that [a model] has no understanding based solely on what it is trained to do

agreed.

but that's not everything we're basing our conclusions on – we also know that GPT-3 was trained purely on text, and i (and presumably GP) don't think that's a path towards "understanding".

in other words, i think being a language model [trained only using a text corpus] is a valid reason to be skeptical of its potential :)
I kinda assume the "modern" site is working as designed.

> Does the language do anything that Dart doesn't?

No. But Oberon demonstrates how one can implement real systems with a very little language; and with an extremely small footprint compared to Dart (you can fit a whole operating system into one or two megabytes). There are a lot of other differences; Oberon is a truly statically/strictly typed language wheras the type system in Dart is intentionally optional; you can write an Oberon parser in a couple of hours (in contrast to more complex and ambiguous languages like Dart or Go). Oberon was optimized for use as an educational language and was successfully used for this purpose e.g. at the ETH Zurich. Wirth wanted the minimum necessary for his language, without unnecessary luxury, which only increases the development and learning effort.
If we assume a slippery slope here, it goes

- why play a game when you could work for society?

- why work for society when you could create replicateable value for society's future?

- why do that when you could change society?

- why do that when you could save lives today?

- why do that when you could save humanity from extinction?

- why do that, any of that...at all?

At the end of the day, the only remotely satisfactory reason for doing anything is to pursue individual fulfillment (even if that be in pursuit of a collective goal).

Additionally, progress in any valuable-to-society pursuit does not happen singularly within the confines of an academic or professional field. Human brains work in mysterious ways, and giving them a wider space of things to bounce off of and different systems to analyze only strengthens it, not take away from it.

I would be willing to bet the time (if/when) we find a cure to cancer will be concurrent with the most board-game-shaped-activities being participated in by humanity, not the least.

TL;DR: human brain utility is non-zero-sum, unlike computers.
