To prevent innocent people from being killed as a result, yes. That does seem like the more ethical choice.

This is not about my opinion of whether an individual should be allowed to end their own life - which I'm agnostic of. This is about the normalisation and institutionalisation of such practice as inherently risky and devaluing of human life.

When you allow the state to end a life under any circumstances, you open the door to allowing the state to end a life under any circumstances. (aka - the slippery slope argument)
Yeah its also nothing like the horrors of Mao's Cultural Revolution and the mass starvation of the Great Leap Forward.
> It is also worth noting the Iranian supreme leaders (there have only been two) are not Ayatollahs. I see these terms falsely conjoined many times in the comments here. Comparatively the Ayatollahs, or specifically the Grand Ayatollahs, are quite moderate compared to the fundamentalists In political power.

Hi I wrote the op article. The previous prompts were me copy pasting verbatim 10 line chunks of the spec for my language: https://github.com/randomsoup/sack into the chat box, since the whole spec at once was longer than it would intake as an input.
I’d argue that most of the numbers you’ll find apply to the US, not to the west. The US is pretty much known everywhere for having third world shortcomings on specific areas.
oh i completely agree. i dont take issue with the content but the wording. i believe the poster said explicitly the developer was likely quite young. it bugged me. im old now, if anything i probably face the reverse kind of ageism. but i think that comment was ageist

edit: yeah, i looked it up, and i was right. i get the general feeling of a personal attack from the author's text in that paragraph, which irks me. i believe it is quite possible to argue against implementation or functionality without resorting to that sort of thing. its especially funny because the person clearly has no real idea of the situation and makes that clear. no need for that. i do agree with the content of the thoughts otherwise.

I was surprised to hear this, since Khomeini was so commonly referred to as "Ayatollah" in the media. Wikipedia[0] still says his title was "Grand Ayatollah," but what appears to be his official memorial web site[1] calls him "Imam Khomeini."

(Unrelated, but interesting to consider he was only in power for about 10 years, and has been dead for more than 30.)

The US didn’t install a corrupt dictator. It basically backed groups who were looking to overthrow Mossaddegh, who himself was fighting to stop from being ousted by the Shah (who held that power legitimately).

There were already riots in the streets over his rule. He was going to be ousted CIA involvement or not.

Plus it’s a bit odd to blame the US for a ruling body who ousted the US backed one.

That’s like blaming the US for the Vietnamese Communist party today.
There is a huge difference. The US has a stated procedure on how to reform the election process. It’s outlined in the constitution and has been invoked several times in the history of the republic.

The idea that all flawed systems are equally flawed is a really weak argument and one that is used by oppressive forces to further their purposes.

Is it fair to characterize the 1979 revolution as extremist without qualification? We find it extreme by our own standards, but by most accounts Khomeini was very popular in Iran.

Never attracted me and the aesthetics of the city and its surrounding immediate environment put me off. (I would still like to visit other parts of New York state though.) There's a weirdness to the city, at least how I see it from afar and, to be fair, I'm sure in a somewhat distorted manner through media. Movies and TV shows set there put me off (even Seinfeld which I enjoy). Only The Pushcart War by Jean Merrill and The Chosen by Chaim Potok have shown me some charm in the place, and the music of New York native Suzanne Vega.

I appreciate that it's an important city, has many cultural attractions and many people love the place. But for me it's too big, too chaotic and, as I say above, too weird, and I would prefer to stay away from it entirely.
This is a very white washed outlook on what happened. Would love to give a good reply when I have time. Suffice to say, this poster makes it seem like the US and UK were helpless and just stood by as things evolved in Iran. This is utterly insane.
How many times do we see someone turning to HN as a side channel into big tech because the official channels aren’t as responsive? It’s normal and expected for people to use any methods available in their wider social network to achieve an objective. If there’s no law against it (as there isn’t here) then what’s the problem?
If I may, I would also like to recommend Richmond and Route Inn here. I have been to the Richmond in Sendai and Morioka in Tohoku on three different occasions. The best thing is that no one wants to take a copy of my residence card, which to the best of my knowledge (statement from the MHLW) they are not supposed to ask you for anyway, but a lot of hotels do ask and then suggest you go find another place if you don’t want to comply.

Yeah West Germany successfully pushed for western-held war criminals to be released in the early 1950s. Rearmament and relaxing of the terms of reparations happened very rapidly, within a year individual pieces are being rolled back. There’s kinda a general history of rapidly needing the Germans after WW2 and a lot of people got second chances (also see Operation Paperclip). West Germany used these opportunity to try to rewrite history, gain more government independence, dramatically lessening whatever “spirit-busting” was a part of WW2 reparations.

Countries and their citizens will go through turmoil and strife regardless of how people halfway around the world react to it. Using this to show the inefficiencies of CCP management is just commentary on how China's dictatorship system hardly works when your entire cabinet/advisory board is full of yesmen.
> The country has just under 100 million people, less than a 10th of China’s population. It can handle 60,000-person manufacturing sites but not places such as Zhengzhou that reach into the hundreds of thousands, he said.

I disagree that country of 100 million people is not big enough for 300 thousand workers factory.
Similar oddities with the halting program.

Prompt: Write a program that never halts.

> It is not possible to write a program that never halts. All programs will eventually halt, or terminate, once they have completed the instructions given to them. This is known as the halting problem, and it has been proven to be unsolvable. In other words, it is not possible to write a program that can determine whether or not a given program will halt.

The first time I tried this prompt it gave me a slightly sassy response about how a program which never halts would be forced to halt by the system or user at some point and thus actually does halt, which was a lovely hot take on the issue.
Isn’t big part of what makes something humane that it comes from a human being, who means what they’re saying?

There’s something uncomfortable about trying to simulate ‘the human touch’ to improve conversion rates. When the mask slips, and people discover your emails for what they are, I’d say it’s more alienating than any traditional mass email
In Finland you can't lock the toy into the Happy Meal: the toy has to be sold separately too.

Using analogous logic, the EU could mandate that all audio-visual consumer devices can be sold at two prices:

One price for a machine that is effectively firewalled, and guaranteed not to accept anything from third-party websites OR to phone home (or anywhere it isn't asked to) (except of course when asked to go online to get software updates).

A second (presumably higher) price for infestation with crapware & nagware.

If the former is the default setting (which would be mandated), then the latter becomes inevitable, driven by the business models now in existence.

This regulation might be written to include computers too, which would be awesome.

Nobody is rejecting niceness.

Vapor[0] based on Swift. Advantage of this is that you don't have to evaluate multiple frameworks for Swift and suffer paralysis by analysis. All the Swift community is behind one framework.

The next is Actix[1] based on Rust. There are many frameworks in Rust and most of them have not reached 1.0 And which framework will survive becomes a question.

Other not so well-known is Wt[2] based on C++. This actually is created for programmers who are not web developers. The development experience is similar to desktop app development like Qt.

If that is not acceptable then Django[3], based on Python, is the one that will be good for you.

For the front-end I would recommend Flutter[4]. As much as I dislike getting tied to a single company for whom the framework is not their bread-and-butter, I don't see any other viable options to Flutter that will cover all web, mobile and desktop out of the box.

For databases, I would recommend BedrockDB[5], if you are not averse to SQLite. Or FoundationDB[6], if you want NoSQL. But if you are not concerned about horizontal scalability or okay with self-managing database availability, then PostgreSQL[7] is a very good option.

For push notifications, PushPin[8] is a good option.

Could you try to put to words why? I believe your fear in general and have seen others refer to similar, but I can't grasp it.

Is it because the prompts/guardrails can be sidestepped? Or is it more fundamental than that?
In other AoC there have been questions with little diagrams, or input with ASCII that forms essentially little boxes and matrices... I have a feeling that GPT will fail miserably at those type of questions and seeing essentially a 'picture' in ASCII on multiple lines is another level of abstraction.

I think GPT-solves would be curtailed by having a graphic in an actual image describing part of the instructions pictorially (in a way where even OCR won't help). That will stave off the AI for another year or two....
When it comes to Authentication and Authorization, these are both core components of a system but undifferentiated building blocks so wouldn’t recommend building them yourself.

Typically using something like Auth0, Cognito, Firebase Auth, FusionAuth, Clerk or many of the other authentication services will get you a full feature set for user management with little to no work.

On the authorization front consider a similar approach of decoupling the the component out of your codebase where the permissions logic is defined as policy rather than code. I work on Cerbos[1] which is an open-source, decoupled authorization layer for your software which does exactly this.

Wohah, did not know about elm-graphql! I'm a big fan of functional programming and have written minor projects in elm, but the "slowness" of development has always discouraged me from actually doing something big with it. This stack might make this a whole lot better. Will look into it. Thanks
Make sure you play with it yourself because you have an oversimplified model of what is happening.

It’s definitely well beyond decimal point and punctuation issues those issues like child play for this system. You comment sounds like you haven’t actually use it before, I’m 99% sure. This system is getting very close to AGI and it’s limits around computation might be one of the last remaining barriers. Definitely nothing related to the . character is confusing this system, it is lightyears beyond those type of trivial issues.

Here is a good prompt to drop you into simulated python:

> I want you to act as a python interactive terminal. I will type actions and you will reply with what python would output. I want you to only reply with the terminal output inside one unique code block, and nothing else. Do not write explanations. Do not perform actions unless I instruct you to do so. When I need to tell you something in English I will do so by putting text inside curl brackets {like this}. Start with print(10).

That also seems trivial. The model was likely trained on thousands of BFS implementations. Non-trivial is when the algorithm required to solve the problem is rare, or when the translation from word problem to algorithm is significant/requires other knowledge.

> It is a complete defence to an accusation of libel that what you wrote is true.

Obviously. It would be a bit too dystopian if the truth was illegal (though in oppressive regimes it often is). I agree that it's a problem that harmful lies about rich people are punished harder than lies about poor people, because they can attach a larger monetary value to the damage. That's of course a product of the fact that it's a civil issue and revolves around damages. Getting rid of that artefact would probably involve making all lies illegal, and I think everybody here agrees that that would be a couple of steps too far.

And then there's the fact that the entire justice system is simply far more accessible to rich people. And they do sometimes use it to try to suppress inconvenient truths.
that's what i am looking for. any ideas on how to find the key?
Ok, I see and accept your point.

But still after your clarification, I see nothing wrong with west cheering the revolution. a) It is our side b) It is impossible to enforce 'not cheering', one slip is enough to be used against you, see Musk and Russian propaganda.

And regarding the Gulf states, I also do not like this. But one has to pick his battles and better (for us) getting our oil from them than from Russia.

I remember being on Slicehost in the pre-Rackspace days. When Slicehost got sold and became (or merged with?) Rackspace I jumped ship. In my next two professional roles in the 2010s I was brought on to improve process on the engineering team. Both of those companies were Rackspace customers (both cloud and servers). I found Rackspace terrible to deal with and their offerings weren’t very competitive or stable. First big thing I did was move as many sites away from Rackspace as possible. Maybe there are compelling reasons to be on Rackspace today (and I know this is Exchange hosting and not server hosting), but IMO there are so many better companies to deal with.
The initial roadmap that Tesla set out from the Roadster onwards was to progressively create models in increasing volume and at a decreasingly lower price point.

However at this point in time they neither have the volume nor the price point to be a model T for the masses in the EV world.

In my humble opinion Musk's vision for 'auto-pilot' was too soon and completely misplaced. This has taken too much focus away from actual EV disruption.

What was needed from an environmental standpoint was for Tesla to leverage their battery factories to bring forward a mass market car at a price point that actually competes with ICEs pricing.

Irrespective of their build quality issues this would allow them to eat the competition's lunch in the EV world and to accelerate the much needed sunsetting of ICEs.

> Could GPT Chat actually build a functional application?

> Now, no; Soon, probably.

> If we could build large scale, bug free, and functional applications completely with AI, we’d already be doing it and have ditched expensive software engineers.

The only thing that is preventing higher management in software consultencies to have started massive efforts on replacing most software developpers with chatgpg is that it has only been released a couple days ago, and they have not organised the meeting yet.

Prediction: there will be ai-triggered layoffs in some part of the tech industry in the next five years (unless openai.org adds some pricy licensing terms.)

> We are either going to be living in Star Trek or all dead in the next 50 years, but nothing in between—exciting, but genuinely scary.

Star-Trek heavily relies on an abundant source of energy, which is not going to exist anytime soon (AI can't conjure mines, oil field or fusion power plants.)

I don't know the electricy usage of openai, but we have that on our side (the moment it messes up with some rich dude, there is an opportunity to pull the plug ?)

So the latter is much more likely than the former, although "all dead" is less likely than "all miserable except for a small bunch of lucky bastards".

We have been the lucky bastards so far, and probably will not have it has hard as the already miserable.

I moved my company off of Rackspace last year. Absolutely terrible experience. The entire cloud operation felt like "brand harvesting" with the sole purpose of keeping clients locked in to the service. Lots of dark patterns and phone calls required to shut down individual servers. Rackspace is a dead man walking.
> free has to be intolerant to certain opinions that (should they become too widespread) would endanger the freedoms of others as well.

As you allude to later on, this isn't really actionable from an objective perspective. Some hypotheticals:

Imagine a society that currently doesn't require seat belts in cars. Any statements that the government should mandate seat belts would endanger others freedom to drive without seat belts, thus all such discussion and advocacy would be banned.

Imagine a society which has a law that people may use whatever pronouns they think are appropriate for other people and neither corporations, nor individuals, nor the government may infringe on this. A proposal to allow corporations to make a policy requiring people to use others preferred pronouns in emails? Infringes on freedom and thus cannot even be discussed.

Imagine a society which currently has no laws preventing people from copying information and distributing it. Copyright? Not even an idea you can discuss.
Ask HN: What field in computer science will be AI proof
Seeing the rise of ChatGPT, I am convinced companies will be using this and services like it in the future to drastically reduce the number of engineers needed.

Is their a field that has relative job security in computer science that shouldn’t be impacted by similar AI products?

I know people will mock me for having these thoughts but I am only 3 years into my career so I already didn’t have the confidence some of the developers on this forum have.

Some initial thoughts include pivoting to work on lower level stuff like OS. I am highly motivated and am willing to put on hours. I just fear Im entering a race that I have no odds of finishing.

Surely you're aware of the market distortions that are a result of negative externalities. Markets aren't perfect and recognizing that governments exist to correct market distortions is hardly authoritarian.
