I was thinking about automation of programming and I have usually come to a conclusion that when AI will crap out X thousands lines of code, how are you going to debug it when it does not do what do you want it do? How are you going to debug code which you did not write so you don't exactly know what is going on?

Additionally when you point out to AI what is wrong, how can you be sure, that AI has fixed the root cause or just made some fixes about that specific appearance of the bug, but it means that bug will pop up somewhere else?

ArgumentNullException, InvalidOperationException... There's plenty that have been around since the beginning.

I am from Brazil, at least you don't have "Electoral Judges" that will happily fuck with the elections and ignore constitution to make sure their preferred candidate win.

The Electoral Judges in Brazil, are censoring actual facts, because despite being facts, they consider it "misinformation", it go so bad that a former supreme court judge of ours got censored for explaining something technical... Despite the fact our constitution explicitly bans any form of censorship. (ironically, as defense against US... our constitution promotes free speech to prevent CIA from subverting the country again).

Better off finding a better job based on what you're looking for.

I took a second job working weekends at Lowes as a sales associate for a while. Once in a while I'd get a customer telling me the importance of college, a type of work I should get into for more money, or some other thing like that. It was funny to watch their face and hear their questions when I'd say I have a masters and work as a software dev... but also kind of depressing when you think about it.
...Which are clearly conflicting statements.

How can it be fair use to train a dataset whose output is infringing copyright? It's obvious how: it can't be.
Twitter taught me to suppress the impulse to react with snark to things or share only negative opinions. The app does incite these compulsions in me, but I've realized over time it's not just Twitter, I could stand to be a nicer person in general. Since then I only let myself post on Twitter if I have something neutral or nice to say. I don't always succeed but I think I've legit grown thanks to this and by extension to Twitter, however sad that sounds. People have a point when they say Twitter is a toxic place in general, but as an individual user, you have all the power to make your Twitter circle whatever you want it to be. It doesn't have to be that way for you.
With Sunak as PM? Yes. He pretty much called Truss's plans stupid in so many words, and predicted the effects during the last leadership election. This is not really an especially high bar to clear as many people said so. The question isn't whether Sunak is the best possible PM, but what the best possible option is right now given the circumstances: a somewhat stable and "normal" person as PM vs. a general election?

It's easy to say "Tories bad, they got to go", but it's not that simple.

I’m sorry if this is really how you feel about US politics but there is still healthy debate to be had (and that people are having) regardless of those who are “shouting the loudest”.

The media veneer around US politics is just that. If anything, it’s helped unearth (some would say legitimize) things that have always been here. I’d rather it be like it is than festering under the surface.

There’s a lot of people “saying the quiet thing out loud” on both sides that needs to be fully processed by the American people, no matter how polarizing.
It has already, and long ago. It's just not very intelligent. Have you had any serious (non-routine) dealings with a bank or phone co. lately? Nobody you can talk to has any agency, any authority to do anything other than what the algorithm (which includes their internal rules, guidelines, etc.) tells them to do.
Great idea to add those FAQs at the end. I suppose a lot of first-time founders would have those apprehensions and it always helps to hear these things from someone who’s been there, done that.
Fundraising is emotionally taxing for a lot of founders. A section to deal with the emotional upheavals (like that last FAQ) would make your guide all the more useful for an early-stage founder with little experience.
Yes. A talent for winning elections is something. It isn't a talent for governing or evidence of policy wisdom, but it is a talent. Sometimes a lack of scruples or shame can be a talent, too.
I never claimed otherwise. I just answered to the comment stating that she was illigetimally in her position, as if the UK was a dictatorship, which isn't the case.
I think the BBC still counts, though I left the country in 2018 and most of my subsequent experience of the BBC has been the satirical news quizzes "Have I Got News For You", "Mock The Week" (TV), and "The News Quiz" (radio/podcast).

It used to be the latter until the marks started getting elected. For the congressional boomers (Pelosi, McConnel et al), it's a grift. For the young crowd (AOC, Crenshaw, etc), it's a mission.
>even though they're savagely roasting each other, they're doing in a way that feels somehow good-hearted and doesn't lay bare the naked resentment and hatred that seems to be all we have left in the USA.

The difference is they all went to the same schools together.

Makes close to zero difference who runs the country, because once you’ve lived under both sides it’s the same thing.
>Jesus, I can’t believe how spoiled and entitled so many people are

The entitlement is called workers rights. People fought quite hard to get the ones we have right now. E.g. my grandfather was still working 6 days and 48h a week (same country as OP). Back then people also called the workers "entitled" who dared to ask for more than one free day per week.

As I see it, this movement will only be succesfully completed once people can rent your skills without also owning your body during that time.
It’s a comprehensive guide, very well put together. Kudos to you guys for pulling it off and all the best with growing OSlash! P.S. Loved the intro video too.
The Raspberry Pi 400 in My Bedroom
I built this because I wanted to show you that it's still possible (dare I say easy) to run a server at home. I wanted the nostalgia of watching people connect to a machine in my bedroom.

I'm also increasingly concerned about privacy on the web and I wanted to get rid of Google Analytics on my own sites. At the same time I still want to understand what content people find valuable.
And you're glossing over the pain points that drove the industry to coin DevOps - those times when the zip didn't contain everything it needed to run in production properly and the admin guy had to call the dev multiple times in the middle of the night because their app didn't start properly on deployment. Or the install/startup procedure wasn't documented properly. Or it changed and the document didn't get updated. Or there was a new, required environment variable that didn't get mentioned in documentation anywhere. Or a new, required library was on the dev's local workstation and not on the server. etc etc
Further, that somehow the reality is inferior to their other imagined, autocratic world.
> plenty are doing cancer research simply to get paid.

Presumably because they think being paid is good. Pure truth-seeking is fairly marginal.

> Why have you put the word "truth" in quotation marks here?

"Truth" and "good" weren't really the best words to use in either of the contexts I used them above ("knowledge" and "right" would have been more correct), but I wanted to specifically use those words because they were the ones you had originally framed the discussion with, so I put them in quotation marks to draw attention to the fact that I was reusing your words. It was kind of cumbersome, looking back on it.

> The truth is always good in my view.

Suppose a physicist in Nazi Germany runs away rather than help the German nuclear program to invent the atom bomb because he knows Nazi leadership would do terrible things with it. This is an example of a scientist choosing not to pursue knowledge because that knowledge would, in that context, be harmful. I don't think any truths are inherently harmful, but some are contextually harmful when known by certain people (e.g. Nazis), and I think it's ethically justifiable for even a scientist to prevent those people from learning those truths.
We should really be focusing on making it easier for people to do their jobs, not replacing them.

In the end they are the same thing, but it's way easier and more accomplishable to slowly improve a person's productivity than it is to remove the human brain from the system.

> We both disagree with you. What would that definition be?

A “bash one-liner” as in common use is a chain of commands using any combination of pipes, subshells, variables, tests, loops, etc.

The distinction between a “bash one-liner” and a “bash script” is that extraneous white space is removed and generally speaking should still be readable.

Admittedly mine is pushing the limits of readability do to the advanced bash syntax, but I still feel it qualifies.

Also, just because my reply was threaded two levels below yours doesn’t mean I was replying to you. I had upvoted you in fact as I actually agree with you re: oathtool example. The party I was replying to actually doesn’t agree with you and thinks that the oathtool example is a “bash one-liner” and that because I call other basic Unix commands mines not, which is just silliness.
I'm torn on this, on one hand I use CoPilot and I quite enjoy it, on the other I don't love the idea of it injecting copyrighted code. That said I've not seen any example of it auto-completing something for me that could legitimately be considered "copyrighted code". Like if the boilerplate it spits out (that is specific to my codebase) is copyrighted then we are all fucked. Same deal with simple filter/map loops that it spits out. Sorry I just don't care about that at all.

You can't convince me that typing

get item() {

and it autocompleting it to

get item() {
return (itemId: string) => {
return this.items.find((item) => {
return item.id === itemId;
}) || null;
};
}

is using copyrighted code, especially since I've written scores of nearly identical functions on my vuex (vuex-module-decorators) stores long before I touched CoPilot. Maybe it's "stealing" from my own code? Good! That's exactly what I want, follow my previous patterns. And honestly if it auto-suggests that to someone else then I don't care.

Sure, if I write a `doReallyComplicatedMathmaticFormula()` and it autocompletes super complicated code then that's one thing but I've literally not seen that once (or maybe I just don't write any code that would cause it to inject larger chunks?). Also if it's something really "basic" like the Haversine formula (determine distance between 2 sets of coordinates) then I'm fine with it injecting an implementation of that, is that really copyrightable? There are only so many different variable names/ordering you can do and still be using the Haversine formula.

Almost all the code it's suggested has been in my style (naming, spacing, etc) and referenced variable/property names that are either super generic OR super specific to my codebase (I seriously doubt anyone else has some of these variable names we came up with, if you do then my apologies).
Most software development simply does not happen in those places for that reason. Basically, it's a supply and demand thing. Software developers require decent connectivity and they'll move to where the connectivity is. Or they'll fix a decent connection (using star link or whatever).
Last year, some idiot opened a bank account in my name. I was lucky to find out - I tried to get in touch with the bank. Zero human contact - the only way to communicate with them is via email. No phones, no chat, no in-person - nothing. Just email. Ultimately they closed the account (at least they claim they did). If this is the situation in a highly regulated (supposedly?) industry like banking, then how can we expect social media companies to fare any better?

I don't know what the solution is. I don't use social media (except HN, I don't know if it falls under social media category) and I don't feel the need to. It is super easy to not use Facebook, Twitter etc. But I have to use banks, insurance etc - there is no way to vote with wallet there, as almost every bank is as bad as the next one. I know of at least one college who post their class schedule, events etc only on Facebook, forcing their students to have a FB account. The level of stupidity...
The concept is well-liked, but there were several issues with the execution:

1) Lack of targeted support - the scheme announced by the Truss government, covers everyone in the country - both rich and old. Using taxpayer money to subsidise costs for the rich isn't popular with a lot of people. That would have been OK in the short term (until a better targeted scheme could be implemented), but the original Truss/Kwarteng plan was to have the scheme run for 2 years.

2) Borrowing - Labour favours funding energy bill support through a windfall tax on gas and oil companies who have been making big profits due to the war in Ukraine. The Truss government was opposed to such a tax, and was instead prepared to borrow tens or hundreds of billions of pounds to fund it (related to #1 - borrowing a lot to give rich people support with bills isn't popular, as everyone will be paying it back through taxes.).

The borrowing wasn't received well by conservatives, and sending more money to the rich energy companies wasn't liked by the left.

Of course, this was all on top of the other borrowing to cut taxes and so on that was announced and then de-announced.
Also people were arrested for protesting his ascent to the throne.

They were later "de-arrested," but the intended message is pretty clear.
"Strict copyright" doesn't make sense either. OSS licenses are just as strict as closed source ones. You can just say a "closed source license."

I used to be utterly aghast at UK parliamentary behavior (as seen on CSpan or CNN I suppose), and thankful that the USA did not behave this way. So I guess that dates me, because we are a toxic and shaming embarrassment now, even in comparison. Pity.

> [Peter Zeihan] says they're mopeds with wings, and a third rate US factory could churn them out, but Russia can't build them.

Who is he to make a technical evaluation of drone quality? Americans are very biased to assume everything made by anyone besides their first-world allies is crap, and IMHO that kind of thinking will be their undoing.

Russia is adapting to sudden supply chain constraints it was obviously unprepared for, and Iran almost certainly has a lot more experience dealing with (and working around) them. Russia could have all the skill in the world, but they won't be able to build anything if they can't source some critical part for their existing designs. If Iran has the parts for their designs, they can build.
3. For starters, the math does not explain "what spin is". So you've introduced a fallacy off the bat, and I suspect it was intentional. But if you tell me how you know about spin then I will explain it conceptually. It's not so complicated. None of this proves anything though. What's the fallacy called? I dont remember.

Seriously though this is a relatively cheap tool which has largely been abandoned in favor of CNC technology. I used one to make engine parts for my Honda in shop class. It strikes me as absolutely bizarre they would arrest anyone for what amounts to a few generations old hand operated tooling. Maybe Putin needed to fix a Lada? Who knows.
The BBC is a statutory corporation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statutory_corporation#United_K...

It typically has no shareholders and its powers are defined by the Act of Parliament which creates it, and may be modified by later legislation. [...] The phrase is not used to describe a company which operates as a conventional shareholder-owned company registered under the Companies Acts.
The US mostly can't do that, but EU countries have the European Arrest Warrant mechanism which more or less does allow them to do this by bypassing normal extradition procedures.

It's way harder for someone in the US to have you grabbed off the street in Italy for a bullshit reason than it is for someone in Bulgaria or Hungary.

Oh, and that stuff works by fax. It would be incredibly easy to send in a fake one and have anyone you’d like arrested.
Only if we get rid of copyright first. Copyleft licenses were originally designed as a second best alternative to abolishing or significantly reforming copyright: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/freedom-or-copyright.en.html
I can't say anything about this concrete case, but I think especially from an anti-racist and anti-sexist standpoint, one should thoroughly and ruthlessly perform research into differences, as that is the only way to falsify racist and sexist ideas. But if one is not convinced of anti-racism in the first place, and only conforms out of social pressure... then I can see why one would be afraid of such research.

But what if research does find out meaningful differences? It's all a matter of how we look at it. We all agree that they are differences between different families. In one family people tend to be tall, in another they have musical talent, and so on. Its undeniable that there is some influence from genetics in our lives; it mostly becomes problematic if we think of it in terms of races, gender, instead of "my genetics, my parents, my ancestors". When it becomes essentialized, and puts people into boxes where it becomes a destiny (X people are like Y).

I think in a saner world, we would want to know as much about our genetics and out biological potential as we could - alas, we are not in a sane world yet.

Maybe, but remember most hourly workers have been automated out of a job over the previous decades. What is left are the hard to automate jobs. My company produces more product than ever on about a tenth of the hourly workers we had in 1950. Easy management jobs will be automated away, but that will leave the hard ones.

Casanova "excelled in mathematics no less than in philosophy. He was a competent theologian, preaching his first sermon in a Venetian church when he was not yet 16 years old. As a violinist, he earned his daily bread for a whole year in the San Samuele theatre. When he was 18 he became doctor of laws at the University of Padua -- though down to the present day the Casanovists are still disputing whether the degree was genuine or spurious... He was well informed in chemistry, medicine, history, philosophy, literature, and, above all, in the more lucrative (because perplexing) sciences of astrology and alchemy... As universal dilettante, indeed, he was perfect, knowing an incredible amount of all the arts and all the sciences; but he lacked one thing, and this lack made it impossible for him to become truly productive. He lacked will, resolution, patience."

Another interesting difference between the US and UK. Republicans do this routinely in the US, and have done for many decades now.

The last Republican president who didn't do this was George Bush (the first one). After promising "no new taxes" during his campaign, he later agreed to do the fiscally responsible thing and raise taxes in order to offset spending increases. He was not re-elected. That was ~30 years ago, and to my knowledge no subsequent Republican president has made that mistake.
These machines were perfected in the '60s and '70s. They are not only exceptional for their ability to make a hole perfectly located and perfectly sized, but also for making it perfectly round.

Their ways being perfectly straight and perpendicular, and metallurgically stable, they are often bought just as a platform for converting into special tooling (for making air bearings, diffraction gratings, metrology and semiconductor equipment, and so on).
