GPT-3.5 is an extremely knowledgeable junior who will never grow past entry-level skills. Which is something of very little value to tech companies. There's a reason why entry-level positions are non-terminal - you must either be promoted into a mid-level engineer or eventually many companies will ask you to leave.

I wouldn't worry - much less have existential dread - that GPT-3/3.5 will replace a significant portion of engineering jobs. If AI technology continues to evolve as it has in the last 30 months, then perhaps we can start worrying in a few years. Now there is very little overlap between what GPT-3.5 produces and what engineers do day-to-day.

What ChatGPT could maybe replace is a need for an engineer in a company that barely needs one. Perhaps if a company needs to write a few bash scripts a year. But even with that, there would be luck involved and such a company would be better off hiring a contractor. GPT-3.5 does produce some fantastic results, but not consistently. It's a little bit better in low-level implementations and not that good with implementations from non-technical descriptions. And then there's all the work engineers need to do adjacent to writing code that ChatGPT has no means to do.

All in all, I believe that these models look like they could replace engineers only until one gets a bit more experience with them. They are amazing works of engineering and they are fantastically capable in some areas like text synthesis, but it's very difficult to see a model replacing, let's say, anyone on my team of engineers in a tech company.

I beams are both an individual abstraction and part of the greater abstraction.

Your catalog of beams, bolts, brackets, weld patterns, rebar, piles, and concrete pour standards are all abstractions over extremely difficult subfields of materials engineering and structural engineering.

They exist so that your engineer can focus on building the structure using parts and resources with known, standardised behavior under the conditions the building will be put in.

Of course you'll see engineers break away from these abstractions when they need to for a given structure but those abstractions do exist and are commonly used so that a given structural engineer doesn't also need a PhD in materials engineering and countless other specialized fields.
That's my point; that clearly they have so many people and so few actual problems to solve that they're worried about adding more discrete numbers rather than solving this problem significantly more efficiently.
Even weirder is how those who don't acknowledge traditional societal ideas of gender roles are being directed to adopt an identity of their own: "non-binary" or "genderfluid". So the strong gender norms have now become a thoroughly self-reinforcing cycle: even if you disagree with them, you're just treated and reassigned in accordance with these same norms.
It is not a mechanical turk, if only for the fact that it can spit out 500< word explanations in less than 10 seconds. Moreover though, we've known that things like this are possible for a while. You can run GPT-2 on your local machine and see for yourself, there's no magic involved besides AI. It's an interesting thought, but frankly something like this was inevitable.
I've been starting to think the bible and other religions have their place due to this. Plot people on a bell curve, that's a lot of people that can't grasp basic nuance and critical reasoning.
Ah, I worked at ADI too. I rewrote the TigerSHARC register allocator (not adopted [complicated reasons, but Edinburgh wouldn't accept changes from the US]), and left the DSP group, and soon afterwards ADI.

I thought you meant TI. Their compiler would compile in the date of compilation as a string by default (it wasn't deadcode eliminated in the linker because it was sucked in their panic libraries, if memory serves).

In any case, yeah, ADI.
I get Ledger phishing all the time and I've never been a customer of theirs.
I think you are missing a bit of nuance in the wording. The long-form would be "Prior to reviewing the latest data, scientists were confident that carbon emissions would not surpass previous levels, and continue a downward trajectory. However, latest data show that emissions are again rising above record levels"
A lot of people say that the model is "lying" when it returns incorrect facts.

Generally when friends or family confidently assert facts that they are sure but also incorrect about, we call them "misinformed" rather than connoting malice with the word "lying".

Have they heard the right facts but associated them incorrectly? Heard the wrong facts from whatever source they obtained them from? Either or both could also be true of ChatGPT.

Interesting suggestions.
Decentralization is super hard to achieve in anything other than a toy universe. "Proof of humanity" in theory is cool, but humans can be bought. Power will always tend to centralization when money exists. It's obvious when the decentralization key is computing power, as money buys more computers and results in centralized control. Even if unique brain patterns becomes the decentralization key, nothing stops two unique people from colluding and voting in the same direction. Nothing stops one person from purchasing the voting power of another person.

I think Vitalik even said once that the only reason for small fish to buy governance tokens is in expectation of the price going up, and hoping they can be sold later to a larger fish, where the actual network is governed by a few. I don't see how "proof of humanity" is any different than this, since nothing stops collusion or other vectors for "vote buying". Centralization infects the very roots of decentralization. This is not an easy problem, and Bitcoin doesn't solve it, and no token out there currently solves it. There might not be any solution in the real world, where humans can communicate freely.
Interesting username you have there.

I don't see why you don't accept "it's Rails." There are other issues as sibling comments have pointed out, but by starting with an ecosystem known to have performance limitations, this sort of outcome is inevitable, is it not? I'm sure the Mastodon team were never expecting the degree of usage which has been thrust upon its larger instances, but now that it has happened and the limitations have become apparent, I'd encourage people who are interested in setting up fediverse/"Mastodon network" instances to consider the alternatives to Mastodon, however paltry they currently are.

I know that the Pleroma front end and its forks are written in something called Elixir, which I have no idea about but I can't imagine it could be much worse than Ruby. What I'd really like to see is something written in a language known to be actually fast, though - PHP or Lua.
Microsoft had this awesome research project called MySong. This reminded me of that.

Strangely enough, I was only trying to be helpful, yet clearly I failed spectacularly enough to be flagged.

Firstly, I think that most people subliminally discount the content of a comment if the writer has poor English language skills. ChatGPT mostly produces correct English (better than many people I know), even if the style is boring.

Using ChatGPT as a teaching aide makes perfect sense to me.

Edit: I find it interesting that the replies are so negatively snarky. Now I have to doubt myself: was I was subconsciously being snarky? How do I become more helpful? How do I discourage selecting for snarky replies? One non-judgemental and helpful resource I will use will be to ask for help from ChatGPT, ironically enough, as soon as it returns from being presently offline!
> and that the claim that employees also create value is false

The claim he says is false is "their employees created all the value".

Replacing "all" with "also" produces almost the opposite statement. I don't mean to be pedantic but that's an extreme misinterpretation.

Aside from their use with crypto, these are just nice looking pieces of hardware. Is there any word on whether you'll be able to run custom code on these?
While it's great that you've been working in the space for a while, this comment does smell of "hand wringing" of the problem as "too complex to solve".

At the end of the day, people just want a "good enough" estimate of what a hospital visit will cost in the typical case for their reason for visiting the hospital. In the event there's variability, that's fine. Just surface that. Knowing several doctors who have seen what has actually been charged for their patients... the vast majority of procedures aren't going to have wild variability for most patients.

Let's look at one common issue that people face: they get charged $400 for a pill of ibuprofen or $2k for a bag of saline with no meds. Even exposing consumable prices is a step in the right direction.
There's no need for convoluted explanations. A good taboo, understood as a restriction on certain kinds of behavior or speech at least in certain circumstances, exists to protect some good. It's the same reason (or one of the reasons) we partition our houses into rooms by purpose. Human flourishing requires certain limits, not letting it all hang out. The latter is more akin to the liberal notion of freedom understood as "do what thou wilt" and limitless indulgence of the appetites and desires. The classical understanding of freedom is the ability to do what you ought. Guess which leads to happiness and which leads to misery.
I'm not suggesting C is better or that I made the correct choice here. My takeaway is that C is "doable" but not the most practical.
Until the second line of your function (in the first example), it's pass by reference, no? It stops behaving like pass-by-reference because you then reuse the name 'd' to create a new object, which has a different id and lives at a different address.

At least, this seems like a coherent mental model of what's happening, to me.

Buffet probably knows little or nothing about the fab industry and probably didn't make this investment decision.

TSMC is upping their investment in the US, but I agree with Morris Chang that the US operation won't be as lucrative -- ie, thye won't be able to maintain 50+% profit margin. Further, TSMC really didn't have any competition in the last 2-3 nodes and Samsung was largely absent in 7/5/4nm, but Samsung is going mass production with 3nm GAA pretty soon and TSMC is going to have to put up a good fight to maintain their dominance.
Dude(?), you’re seriously mixing things up. It’s not Switzerland and there are no 18% taxes in Germany. Stop spreading all this nonsense. Calculation for Bavaria with 2 kids, 100k and Steuerklasse 3. Every month:

There is shitton mandatory insurances and payments. Income tax alone does not really matter. Rundfunkgebühr is very real tax and can’t be avoided.

Edit: sorry, I am rude. But downplaying all the so called insurances, that must be paid from salary is not nice. They must be paid in full and can’t be avoided. I would love to decide about my retirement by myself instead of funding current retirees.

> This is important because people still pay for amounts up to their deductible and out of pocket maximum

In many world states, if you have health insurance, and are referred to hospitalization, or come in with a wound or other obviously serious condition, your deductible/out-of-pocket for being in the hospital is exactly 0. Israel is in this category for example. This doesn't cover 100% of hospitals but all the big ones and your "sick fund"'s hospital-grade facilities.

In other countries (e.g. the Netherlands), a lot of health care expenses are charged through to you from the get-go, but - your annual out-of-pocket maximum is low, e.g. 500 EUR or 700 EUR or something like that (EUR ~= 1.05 USD right now, was higher when I was in the Netherlands). So, you might be interested in what hospitals charge, but it's not like you would save all that much anyway.

wait is the issue here the color or the curves? the paint looks fine it's the rounded corners that are ugly to me.
Not myself, but I've seen a bunch of examples folks have posted on Twitter, and to be fair, they were all surprisingly accurate.

As far as I understand it, though, these explanations are based on similar code contained in the training dataset, rather than any kind of ability to reason about what's actually going on, no?
I was thinking the same thing. Someone please make similar hardware as an open platform.

Like many other commenters (of a certain age?), I too have this unsatisfied feeling about a particular kind of modern software development. The kind where you never really dig down and design anything, you just plumb a bunch of stuff together with best practices you find on stack overflow.

Many commenters are attributing this problem to the modern high-level tools we now have access to. But I don't think this is the crux of the issue. You can face the same issue (you're plumbing things, not a designing a system) whether you are working with low level or high level components.

Heck, you could be working on a hardware circuit, but if the only thing you had to do was make sure the right wires, resistors, capacitors, etc. were in place between the chips you're still just doing plumbing work.

To me, one of the most satisfying things about programming is when you can build something great by starting with a concept for your lower-level primitives, your tools, and then work up through the higher levels of design, ultimately having the pieces you designed fit together to form something useful to the world.

This building-things-to-build-things idea is even satisfying in other areas. Just gluing a bunch of wood together to make a piece of furniture is fine, but building your own jigs and tools to be able to do the kind of cuts that enable the end design you envision is way more satisfying, and opens up the design space considerably.

If I had to lament anything (and perhaps this is what's most in alignment with the post) it's that most of the high-level primitives you touch these days tend to be sprawling, buggy, not focused, and just generally not of high quality or performance. It's possible for high-level primitives to avoid these pitfalls (e.g. Sqlite, the canonical example) but it does tend to be the exception.

I think there is still plenty of interesting and satisfying software engineering work to be done when starting with high-level libraries and tools. You just need to think about how to use their properties and guarantees (along with maybe some stuff you build yourself!) to enable the design of something more than just the (naively-plumbed) sum of the parts.

The fact it makes up incorrect references and books shows it's not humans on the other side.

I asked it if typescript was pass by value or by reference and it made up an incorrect answer with incorrect code with keywords that don't exist. When I fed the error back into it, it apologized for the confusion and gave back another incorrect answer.

how many times did you have to build a java or javascript project where you are counting kilobytes, or are pre-generating data tables for maximum efficiency which you want to be configurable as a build option because you're going to need different tables for different hardware/target ? people with this sort of problem just aren't even considering using java or javascript so of course in C++ we end up with a hairier solution. A lot could be solved if there was good compile-time reflection for sure but still.

An example: the main software I work on, along with a few other software I know, has to generate a SDK as part of its build so that people can build plug-ins for it. How often do you have to do this in java or JS ? almost never. But this requirement implies having a build system powerful enough to do that.

Another example: another software I work on must produce a Max/MSP package ; this implies:

- working with multiple versions of the Max SDK which changed their structure on disk

- setting different build options such as file naming depending on the target architecture: .dll on win32, .dll64 on win64

- generating a relatively complex tree structure which combines a Windows and a macOS build together because people don't want the hassle of having two different download options

- generating some stub C file that will declare a function to be exported

- generating some .json file with various build information, build date, etc

- generating a symbols.txt file which contains all the symbols that are known to be explicitly exported to minimize binary size ; the build system has to: list the symbols (one per plug-in we build), write them to a symbols.txt file, pass that file to Apple's dyld like this:

set_property(TARGET ossia-max APPEND PROPERTY
LINK_FLAGS
"-s -exported_symbols_list '${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/symbols.txt'"
)

etc etc.

these are the requirements we have. can you solve these requirements with just Java's XML ?

The site you picked ironically is failing to load for me on Safari in iOS, likely because I have an ad blocker enabled. It just keeps going into a reload loop.

I would second everyone else’s sentiment that going with the official PR statement is better , especially because Apple are really good about fast loading pages without ads, and none of these other sites provide new information that’s not in the press release.

Additionally many of the third party sites are really bad for accessibility, whereas the official Apple one is excellent for those who need readers.
And IIRC, the insurers are for-profit, right?

What about the hospitals? Are they mostly for-profit or non-profit entities?
ChatGPT is many things but never for a moment have I suspected it might be some sort of virtual mechanical turk. It's good at things humans aren't great at, and not particularly good at many things that most humans do well.

OTOH I do suspect ChatGPT and tech like it could make call centres in less-developed countries largely obsolete in coming years.

Irrelevant, the apps it's being used for would run fine on a 25yr old machine at 60fps.

You shouldn't need multi-threading to render a few thousand objects and most UI apps of the type Lottie is being used for animate 100 or less at a time.

Note: It's good that Lottie runs faster for its users. My point is only that the entire stack is over engineered and the solutions being used are because the stack is bloated and inefficient
