I think it's mostly a confidence thing.

Let me write out some facts:
- You can obviously program pretty well with some 10 years of experience

- You know one language very well

- You have made (side) projects in a different language so you have the ability to pick up something new and build something with it

- N number of years experience on job listings is often not as absolute as it might seem

- Learning a second language is not the same as learning your first, it's much easier as a lot of concepts are the same or similar

> requisite skills (conventions, tool chains, libraries)

I literally google all of it + I browse Github projects; find some bigger open source projects in your language, see what libraries they use, how they structure etc.

> making the switch

I just start using it for work projects. You could also just apply for a job and see how it goes.

What matters in the end is; can you build [stuff] with it? If the answer is yes, great, you win. If not, maybe build some more projects. Obviously it's a spectrum but with your experience you are likely able to know if you can build enough to be useful. My guess is; you probably can.
All the creatives I know use macs and iPads.

Incidentally I’ve got an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil and use that for digital art and photography.
The other day I asked it to write Terraform to deploy a certain app. (Not for real world, just testing what it would do.) It wrote some terraform for AWS and then I specified “for gcp” and it did that.
Mastodon uses webfinger for this, which scales much better (though I find it annoying webfinger wasn't specified with a url format that'd make it easy to provide static replies like what you suggested), and supports aliases and redirection.

E.g. if you go here:
https://galaxybound.com/.well-known/webfinger?resource=acct:...

You'll get redirected here:
https://m.galaxybound.com/.well-known/webfinger?resource=acc...

Which will return a webfinger profile, which includes this activitypub profile (curl command line because you need the "Accept:" header):

curl -H "Accept: application/activity+json" https://m.galaxybound.com/users/vidar

If you look at the "publicKey" key in that JSON doc, you'll see:

{
"id": "https://m.galaxybound.com/users/vidar#main-key",
"owner": "https://m.galaxybound.com/users/vidar",
"publicKeyPem": "-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----\nMIIBIjANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAAOCAQ8AMIIBCgKCAQEAvHAMudraHmCA2u8wcI2/\n7iB0Td73AF7tk3LC7AuUxzCMu0Ipf/mNVdh+2nFOQ0pY+7E/wEgGeFg5BlMNC7hK\nebfYtY5ZFm7upVqQ0OXTP2hC+fnDTNcpmnPqmwMRdL54YtiZvQtRzW++ZKquWjER\nInM97NsjW0H0yuVkMETfPX1ilWkzTlWa9m0+H5Tmaz3EbKk3VanJXSLKNLnSq2lK\nbKcr2kD/U5UobzJDaaKjK+tW50iTOMiFEXLAT+4Po375WlgxKchahvtPyioiDm6j\noneGAbKRM/eAiHf7EhP76zyoL/LNG0XP4rDEFr4Ia4vo4HG1zhbGZ+815Tip4lNW\nYwIDAQAB\n-----END PUBLIC KEY-----\n"
}

.. which is used to check the signature of my posts when they federate.

From the profile you also know where to get my posts, and can get them either as JSON or RSS if you want to pull them without actually following me.

If someone "moves show" there'll be an alias in place. E.g:

curl -H "Accept: application/activity+json" https://mastodon.social/users/vidarh | jq .movedTo

gives:
"https://m.galaxybound.com/users/vidar"

Now, something like a DHT to replace webfinger so a move can be done without cooperation from the original instance might be interesting, but Mastodon works pretty well here already.
I was forced to use an SAP product at an old job about 15 years ago.

Unfortunately, I find it completely unsurprising that any SAP.* product is a dis-organized mess of a kludge, with no rationality evident anywhere.

Oh, and the CIO who foisted that pile of cr*p upon my organisation? She moved on shortly after SAP was implemented -- undoubtedly to foist SAP on some other poor unsuspecting org. I sure hope her SAP stock has tanked.

I concur. On my Thinkpad T14 gen2, I have accepted I maybe get 3h of battery on a good day.

The battery is half the size of the lastest MacBook sure. But much less than half the battery life.

I don't have suspend issues. I am probably lucky.

I wouldn't code on anything else than Linux. But I got myself to enjoy CAD work on my gaming computer running windows. Not that windows is great. It's horrible. But because on windows the GPU and mouse acceleration works flawlessly and feels like an extension of my mind. On Linux somehow it is not as smooth. Mac feels sluggish too. As if there is some lag? But moving the mouse on windows feels just right (and yes I tried same hardware on windows / Linux).

I hate macos. It's buggy and slow. The touchpad is stupidly big. But precision is fantastic. It's an insult to everybody else really. Thinkpad touchpad is an insult of insult. People designing that crap should go to jail for the amount of time they waste on humanity.
It's neither. It's randomized. The system is not self-training in real time.
> But if I ask for a human, I want a human.

> I don't care if AI is more interesting than a human. I want a human, because I am human. I am not transhumanist.

I think I understand your point but I'd like to give a counterpoint: replace "human" by "white human" and "AI" by "black human" and you might see how that line of reasoning is flawed.

In other words, there might come a time when AIs could become really offended if you'd exclude them like that from social interactions, with all the repercussions that might have.

> I wonder what the correlation is between people who see no particular value in interacting with humans, and people who struggle to interact with humans.

I see value in interacting with humans, especially at this point in time, and especially in ways that machines can't (e.g. having meaningful intimate relationships, raising a family, etc). Even then, machines could theoretically do some of this better than humans, as suggested by a lot of sci-fi content (except the actual reproducing part).

But I also see value in interacting with beings that are superior to humans, assuming they are able to do what humans can, only better.
Perhaps a matter of levels. High end consultants usually have some reputation to maintain. Places like IBM and Accenture are just good at navigating large org purchasing, so as the only bidders in many cases, can put out shit.
How does that help with what the OP asked for? "What I’m seeking is reading material regarding how to manage project scope, be better team member, converting asks to deliverables, managing expectations from management, enabling team members by opening communication channels across teams, time management, etc."

I think reading code is great for learning more about code, but don't see how it helps with the other items on that list.
This was written by a bot. I wish you would label it.
I must be holding it wrong then, my work issued M1 MacBook Pro holds for around 6-7 hours of regular (for me) usage, but can barely do 4 hours in a Teams call (without the webcam!).
Don't think tax breaks are enough to close the gap. Cheap labour is...very cheap
Well, the centuries of progress you are referring to are sometimes happening in countries that, at the time, were applying a anti-intolerance stance. Laws again libel, for example, exist for centuries in countries where progress grew sometimes faster than in other places.

On top of that, for your argument to work, saying that progress happened is not enough. You also need to prove that progress happened _better_ than otherwise. For all I know, we had great social progress, but we would have had super great social progress if more anti-intolerance happened.
> Don't most humans just regurgitate the same arguments they've just read or learned elsewhere (or even here), like 99% of the time?

Yes but at least they choose what they regurgitate unless you think of most people as automatons. Personally Im more interested in human regurgitations than AI immitations of these. So far AI doesn’t bring any reasoning and cannot discern what it regurgitates but sure as hell comes off as confident (It could probably immitate being humble as well). Someone posted an example of gpt bulshiting something akin to 2+0=3 but very convincibly.
Thanks! Looks like his main page has all the articles plus classified into different groupings like top 10.
Photos are tricky, but you can make e-paper displays look nice if you embrace the constraints. For example: https://accent.ink
> e.g. engineers are Meta are paying very good money so their children go to private schools where they confiscate phones

This sounds like one of those made-up tweets that became an article that became an urban legend.
Is that this book? https://books.google.com/books/about/Software_Estimation.htm...
This whole article and comment thread is a strawman, in that it presents a single case in spmething that simply should not be adjudicated on a case by case basis.

Euthanasia, death panels, palliative care management, healthcare budgets, transparency or lack thereof ...

These are all (full stop) system level decisions. Show us all the data, all the decisions, all the controls, all the dollars.

Then as a society we decide the parameters, the gray areas, and then each case fits in one area or another.
if A is false then A implies B is true, whatever the truth value of B is. Thus arguing from a false premise is meaningless.
E-paper and E-ink are different technologies though. E-paper is transfletive LCD and requires power to keep the image on the display.
> If that's all you want to do, there is no need as I am already in agreement that P is false.

There's a difference between believing something is true and having a proof.
The bad code it produces is not just stylistically bad, it often doesn't solve the problem.

It seems to be making the same kind of errors in code as we've seen in speech, you get a lot of plausible but subtly wrong hallucinated content that only someone who knows the subject can identify. It prefers probable output over matching the specifications so it'll add unnecessary branches just because it's seen them millions of times.

Among errors I've seen it make there is bad indexing, adding conditions that serve no purpose or assuming a variable has a specific structure when it doesn't.

Does anyone know the choreographer? It looks so much like what Bob Fosse was doing in the 60's, e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSSlWfOCgLw
OpenAI needs to get on top of this and generate a detector for every model they release. And then sell access to both.
No they don’t exist my side of the pond.
SAP acquired Concur.
That is a good tip!

However, it looks like you do miss out some features that way.

Most notably, you can't use search shortcut in Firefox/Chrome as it does POST instead of GET
I'm not sure if you're only asking about specifics or you have a broader concern, but even if you build such a model, it wouldn't make any difference for cases where some kind of "gain" is involved. Be it financial, educational, etc.

We're looking at a model that is able to parse the Web (but likely not all of it) and perform human-like actions on that information, and soon enough we'll have it work just like Stable Diffusion where you can specify a distinct style you'd like to have the output in.

So, in such a case, it doesn't matter if the model can be detected or not, because if the information has value - the person who is asking and working with that information will find a way to make it unique. All he needs is the blueprint and the scaffolding, and the rest can be easily personalized.

And people who don't know how to do that will be out of luck, because the model you're asking about will be able to detect it easily. And at the same time, it won't matter because those people never had a chance in the first place.

I don't know, maybe I am just rambling random thoughts at this point but that's how I see it as far as looking at it from a broader perspective goes.
Full text is paywalled, and I’m not interested in paying to see it, but if I did, what I’d be looking at is the operationalization of “political tolerance” and “cognitive ability”, particularly the former. I’ve found that studies with the kind of conclusion this has often use very dubious methods of operationalizing complex variables, particularly the dependent variable, such that while the conclusion may be true with the given operational definitions, it is far from clear that it corresponds in any close way to what most people hearing the conclusion would understand it to mean without seeing the particular operationalization in use.
It's a matter of scale, you could have personalized propaganda for each community.
People have zero incentive to do difficult effort to learn to accept things that they don't want to even accept in the first place.

It's like saying "we should teach people to understand why committing crime is bad, so no one will commit crime anymore"
This is interesting... when I visited recently I realized that Suica on Apple Wallet was more convenient than the physical card. The top reason is that you can use Apple Pay to top up your Suica whenever and wherever you are, without downloading any special app or needing to login to something.

However, one of my credit cards didn't work for that with no clear reason given, but a different one worked almost every time.
Who is Kardi B?
Yeah, I used it long time ago along with GearMan and Memcached.

Brad Fitzpatrick was (still is?) living in the future.
Kinda pricey for the standalone, but not too bad. $300 for a starter Garmin. But you'll have about a $160 per year subscription. (I've had one for years--it's been invaluable peace of mind on solo trips.)

The Garmin uses Iridium; the iPhone is apparently Globalstar. So don't try using the iPhone at the poles. ;)

Great to see it coming to phones. Maybe Pixel will get on board.
> Sure, you can find an extreme person to argue anything but I certainly am not familiar with this difficult to believe argument

I am not here to say it is either correct or incorrect to apply it to this situation.

But it is a commonly studied theory in behavioral science. And I don’t think it is considered an “extreme” theory in general. It is definitely something that is discussed enough to have a variety of studies on the matter.

It probably wasn't a majority of the male population, but it was a very sizeable fraction, not just a small elite.

Out of a total population of around 300,000 people, about 50,000 were male citizens. This is a far larger level of participation in government than in virtually any other society of the time (aside from the other Greek democracies).
> To detect a response generated by ChatGPT, we could first analyze the content of the response to see if it contains any unnatural or repetitive language. We could also check the formatting of the response to see if it follows the typical conventions used by human responders on the platform.

Given my experience with human responses to text queries, these would be positively correlated.
The Sandbox Is a Lie
With all due respect to the Moog Dancers--It's interesting that some people still think of culture as expressed by things that large numbers of people were forced to watch, on account of there being nothing else good on.
Again, what if there is no static declaration?

impl Foo {
// static
fn foo() {}
}

Why would I need to use self to tell the compiler about an instance method? Surely the Rust compiler is smart enough to detect this case and complain if the call site is ambiguous.
I also asked ChatGPT a similar question to which it started its response with: "To train an AI to detect text written about another AI, you would need to use a technique called supervised learning. In supervised learning, you would provide the AI with a large dataset of text, some of which is written about AI and some of which is not. The AI would then learn to identify the characteristics of text written about AI and use those characteristics to make predictions on new, unseen text."

So I followed up with another question: "Did an AI write the following paragraph?" and then I pasted the above paragraph of text to follow.

ChatGPT responded with: "No, a human wrote the paragraph you provided. It is possible that an AI could be trained to generate text that is similar to the paragraph you provided, but it did not write the paragraph itself."

Oh oh...
Out of curiosity I tried prompting ChatGPT to come up with interesting rebuttals to your comment, but it kept misunderstanding my prompt and agreeing with you instead.
The first chapter of this video shows more of this (or a similar) system: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=re5xAqgKqc0
This is the first interview I've seen where there's no pulling of punches and SBF gets pressed directly for answers. Coffeezilla did a great job.
I interviewed with them prior to the SAP acquisition back in 2017.

"We're looking for someone with experience with ASP and database performance improvements."

"You mean, ASP.net - not old school VB6 derived, interpreted - 'pretty cool for 1997' Active Server Pages - ASP?"

"Hey hey! You're the guy we want!"

Of course I would have taken the job if I'd known they'd be acquired.

edit: Huh, they were acquired in 2014? Ah well - it's like someone's MVP that made it out to production, then they made it big and that MVP kept being glommed onto.
I asked it to make some stuff in flutter and it worked well. I did notice sometimes it just adds a comment in the function saying “insert logic here for X” when it doesn’t know how to write it.
Not sure what point you’re trying to make with that. I don’t know this stuff but I know how too look it up on Wikipedia, and it looks to me like it was phased out because regulators threatened a ban:

“In November 2008, National Air Transportation Association president Jim Coyne indicated that the environmental impact of aviation is expected to be a big issue over the next few years and will result in the phasing out of 100LL because of its lead content.[45]

By May 2012, the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA Unleaded Avgas Transition rulemaking committee) had put together a plan in conjunction with industry to replace leaded avgas with an unleaded alternative within 11 years.”
Bet those truck drivers who learned to code feel kind of ripped off..
E-paper and e-ink are synonyms (well, to be more precise, e-ink is a brand of e-paper, but those terms are being commonly used as synonymous). Not sure what you're referring to regarding transflective screens, as both the article and my comment refer to displays that only need power to update their content.

I also have a device with a transflective LCD, it's called Nokia N900 - it would be hard to mistake one display for another ;)
Unless you’re comparing perf per watt as a curve, idle wattage is largely not representative of real world use. Similarly for peak performance if you’re excluding the wattage or throttling at those levels.
In the past I've been told to hire specifically for the personality trait of being willing to push back hard. Though stubborn people might be difficult sometimes, I really appreciate their presence when requirements are unclear or unrealistic.

With that said, code quality, F/OSS license policies, and testing should be something the whole team talks about and comes to an agreement on. There's a big difference between pushing back and failing to meet the team's basic standards, and at a certain point it becomes a performance issue.

Ugh.
> An AI cannot, by definition, create better HN content. Because HN content is about hearing what people think about a certain topic/thread.

Not necessarily. Good HN content can also be factual information relevant to the topic at hand. And yes, current AI like ChatGPT might not help with that, but an hypothetical future AI which cared more about the veracity of its statements could.
I’m not at all claiming to be an expert, but my understanding is that currently, the best treatment we have today is adherence to lithium and other medications used to treat BD (I used BPD earlier but realized that’s an acronym more regularly used for borderline personality disorder).

By the way I assume you were using chemotherapy figuratively, but in case not, I’ve never heard of chemotherapy being used to treat BD. All medications have side effects and it really does come down to a cost-benefit analysis, which I think is especially hard for mood disorders as the medicine can feel like it’s taking away someone’s sense of self.

I agree understanding and avoiding triggers are part of treatment. Some well known things like jet lag are known to make the condition worse, and I’m unsure if things like that are unavoidable for my brother.

A lot of what I was alluding to when asking about sticking to treatment and medication was anosognia, which is when someone is unaware that they have a condition. In the case of pure manic BD, I suspect a lot of people struggle to identify their condition as an issue because they rarely hit that depressive low, which results in refusal to treat their condition (even holistically, disregarding any medication), and ultimately, repeated hospitalization.

> Mainstream broadcast TV, for myself in the UK, has been dead for about a decade

OK, I'm not in the UK. However, I always like to defy conventional wisdom that everyone knows, and that is certainly some of it.

Broadcast TV is digital now, in the US at least. An antenna will cost you $50-75 or so, it's tiny, and if you have line-of-sight with the tower, you get a perfect picture. It will be in 4K soon, supposedly.

What's on? Well, sports, if you like that. I watched the US v. Netherlands match yesterday on broadcast. All the big college football games were on yesterday. If you don't watch sports, then yeah, there's not much.

Still: local news, much better than you find on the web. And PBS stations. And ancient TV shows, e.g. Frasier, Taxi. It doesn't replace streaming, but it IS free.
Lost in Lies: Keeping Track of Russian Propaganda Claims – Oryx
I entered a question for the usage of an api in ChatGPT and it made up a believable source code snippet but completely made up, it just didn't exist, I entered the same question in google and the first link with a snippet is the correct answer from gitter, ChatGPT is not juste useless but a dangerous and misleading waste of time.
AI has advanced mostly due to increase in compute and data available. The results are very impressive but the defects are also pretty obvious. Just like self driving cars we'll soon get into the long tail problem
It seems to be really good at leetcode. I wonder how long before companies start doing on sites again because it would not be hard to use this to cheat in an interview.
I've tried giving it languages like Turbo Pascal or telling it to obscure frameworks like fp-ts and while sometimes it's not syntactically perfect, but I can guarntee it's not just scraping code snippets from somewhere.
Get ready to see a lot of human spaces invaded by somebody elses AI with goals that are not in your interest. It’s been happening already with chatbots pulled by strings by nefarious people but that operation will only amplify to a point that it will become cumbersome and hard to know whether you’re chatting or reading something that came from a human or language model.

To me internet comments are almost on life support. Im curious if HN will have the same fate
