My "Wow!" moment came from a similar experiment. I asked ChatGPT to create a fictional assembly language, list and explain the opcodes (apologies if I'm using incorrect terminology. I'm not a low level developer) , then write a program and explain what the program does. It wasn't perfect , and used some opcodes it didn't mention previously, but the example program and explanation were coherent.

I then wrote my own simple program in the fictional assembly language and asked ChatGPT to evaluate it. Here are the results:

tell me the number that is in R3 after this "Flux Assembly" program:

MOV 7, R1
MOV 2, R2
ADD R1, R2, R3

The number that is in R3 after this "Flux Assembly" program is 9. The program
first uses the MOV op code to move the value of 7 into the register R1, and
the value of 2 into the register R2. It then uses the ADD op code to add the
values of R1 and R2 and store the result in R3. Since 7 + 2 = 9, the value
that is stored in R3 is 9.

Pretty interesting, but most assembly languages are similar enough. How about a really wacky fictional assembly language? ChatGPT then gave me "Zany Assembly" which included the following op code:

SPAZZ: This opcode causes the processor to randomly select and execute one of
the next five instructions in the program. It has no operands and the syntax
is simply "SPAZZ."

I then tried to "run" a simple program:

what are the the contents of R1 after this Zany Assembly program is run?

SPAZZ
MOV 33, R1
MOV 8989, R1
MOV 173, R1
MOV 20, R1
MOV 8, R1

The contents of R1 after this Zany Assembly program is run are unpredictable.
The program uses the SPAZZ op code at the beginning, which causes the
processor to randomly select and execute one of the next five instructions in
the program. This means that the contents of R1 after the program is run could
be any of the values that are moved into it by the MOV op codes. It could be
33, 8989, 173, 20, or 8, depending on which instruction is selected and
executed by the SPAZZ op code.

I was impressed (and this was after it unsurprisingly failed at Conway's game of life!)

Exactly this seems like a natural extension for Copilot

Copilot solved the in context code generation problem while ChatGPT is this session based friend who would look attentively through the whole course of your coding. I tried some relative niche task with ChatGPT and it mostly solved them with high precision.

The productivity boost is going to be substantial to reshape software engineering as profession. Moving forward being a full stack engineer would be a bare-minimum, anything that can be done by ChatGPT will not qualify as valuable skill.

It will make true 10x engineers works like they have virtually a team.

Since "Orwellian" and "Kafkaesque" inadequately encapsulate the evil this represents, I think we need new adjectives to describe this insidious and corrosive abuse of rights in the name of the color of law.

I mean I guess carbon capture could be an option but it's probably bottom of the list in terms of effective things to use the subsidies for. Primarily I'd imagine it going to cost offsetting the transition to greener alternatives for other things people want to stop using as I gave examples of above. We would do it because it's better for everyone involved, even at the individual level. Nobody here has said we'd do it because it's mean to ban things.

> you need to focus on that anyway if you put a tax on their behavior

The tax would focus on the emissions not the behavior. If you mean "someone needs to calculate the emissions caused by the behavior" well sure but that's hardly making the behavior a focus let alone the focus.

Looking at the instructions, this test doesn't seem to care about timing. I've seen NES emulator test roms with prints for state after each instruction where they did include the number of cycles. When I was writing my (poor) NES emulator, I ran my code on the test rom and would stop if it hit an instruction I didn't handle or if the states didn't match. Pretty soon I had a fairly accurate CPU emulator.
Rackspace rocked by ‘security incident’ that has taken out some services
Could be a number of reasons. Two off the top of my head:

1. Avoiding content that could raise copyright questions (see the Copilot drama)
2. Eliminating original content also eliminates the potential for offensive/illegal original content (see China's attempts at censoring Hong Kong protests in video games a while back by simply having developers remove entire features supporting player expression (e.g. chat, signage, etc)).
Yeah as a developer I can't guarantee that I'll never write an infinite loop that leaks memory, and I really don't want my only recourse to be restarting my machine. That's a pretty brutal dev cycle lol.
You misunderstood that then. He wasn't saying that at all. He was just saying that simply having a port open isn't an automatic RCE, because there needs to be something that listens on that port that has a vulnerability to exploit. A simple web API is not that likely to have a vulnerability if the dev of the API did their job correctly.

Huh the last linked company does appear to be purely recreational. Though of course it's still not ultimately owned by just those three, unless Estonian 'Associations and social clubs' are very different from what I understand.

I'm surprised Toyota HQ would let them use their name on official documents if it's completely unrelated.

For Toyota Baltic, obviously the sole listed board member is not the 'Ultimate Beneficial Owner' or even any 'Beneficial Owner' since Toyota Baltic is a legally controlled subsidiary of a much much larger company.

Which the board member does not own, nor are they likely to be the sole beneficial owner of any intermediate holding company.

The 'Beneficial Owner' is very very likely just a legal representative.
I don't know if that's a great way to judge its creativity—it was trained on an enormous dataset, so it would be hard to determine if something was actually new or cobbled together from bits and pieces it found elsewhere.
I seriously doubt, since there actually is evidence that, for adults, psychological safety is a major factor in productivity at work, specifically at knowledge work.
My first job as a programmer was in 1976/77 for a consulting shop for $17,726 = $90,300 now. Then I worked for a CRT terminal manufacturer...
1978: $19,568 = $93,304 now,
1979: $25,667 = $111,997 now,
1980: $33,164 = $127,034 now,
1981: $41,642 = $142,641 now.
Then I started my own software company and became self-employed until retirement.

Specifying MIT et al. makes it look like it’s a specific flaw in stereotypically ‘smart’ people, rather than the general population.

Curious if this is more generally tested and known, or what biases are in place in specific populations. Eg. Bias to immediately trust first thought/gut, vs being taught to be more thoughtful and cautious.

How about maximum viable product definitions for go to market? I've worked with PMs that have engineering build-build-and-rebuild delaying release until they feel it is "good enough", or what I think is really going on, "perfect". Then it gets into the hands of users who don't care about most of what the PM felt was important or necessary. In those cases (what I call "Steve Jobs syndrome) it would've been nice to say the product was limited to doing x, y, and z for the release.

When Google simply began showing more data from indexed sites, it caused outrage because users wouldn’t visit & monetize. Here we have three guys who literally crawled the entire Internet into a black box to monetize.

So far we praise them for this like we praised Google, which thus makes me think they can in fact dislodge. Not sure I feel enthusiastic about it, however.
I bought a new Z13 which is a Ryzen, I still have this issue on Windows I called up support to complain that the machine is boiling hot every morning when I take it our of my brief case. They sent a tech to replace the motherboard. Still have the same issue, not sure if I should bother calling them back. Luckily I also purchased the battery warranty (expecting this issue as I had a HP and a Thinkpad which had the same issue and I suspected it was a Windows issue) as I am sure this is destroying its life.

Microsoft has built a first class, very performant ecosystem with .NET Core that happily plows through millions of queries on Debian and Postgres with minimal resources (512MB RAM and a slow CPU). Meanwhile, Microsoft has done an admirable job with continued support for .NET Framework.

Why would Microsoft invest in making .NET Framework work on non-Windows systems when it has multiple other architecture decisions that limit performance and bind it to Windows that were fixed in .NET Core? Especially when Windows lock-in is a feature to Microsoft, not a bug.

Amazon expecting a free handout of multi-platform support from Microsoft to allow them to lift and shift applications written prior to 2016 on .NET Framework to a new OS and software stack is audaciously unprofessional and embarrassing.

Microsoft is already supporting these legacy applications with security and performance updates for developers who haven't modernized them to .NET Core. If you want all the new features you've had notice for 7 years that you need to migrate, with Microsoft emphasizing this with the .NET 5 release in 2020 (which is .NET Core officially superseding .NET Framework).
I tried this on a lark for Day 3 last night and it got Part 1 correct with no changes (other than using go:embed for the input file). Part 2 required a bit of tweaking. It is pretty impressive nonetheless.

Facebook was never really about social. They just stumbled upon the realization that commenting on friends’ stuffs and looking at some of it was addicting. That’s why there was backlash against it because people realized Facebook wasn’t really working to help us improve our social relationships in any way but merely using it to steal our attention, much to our detriment (waste time).

Eventually AI was developed to automate addictive content which is just a more generalized solution yo what FB was doing.
I've never had an issue on Macbook Pro or M1 Air. Never had to try the workaround from the video.

Its very much sending video data to the cloud upon request.
I forgot to mention, the point is to limit the cost of the product before getting valuable feedback that ought to direct the future of the software. It's also not fun toiling away on a product the end users never use because it only made sense in the PM's mind.
I disagree. Stack traces usually only have 2-3 lines of signal. I never read the stack trace thoroughly because it's mostly noise.
I’m a lawyer, and think this is great advice. I would add two caveats:

1. Some people are out to trick you. A contract won’t save you from them, but having a lawyer review it beforehand and identify it as an egregious one might be a useful signal that it’s someone you don’t want to work with. In other cases, circumstances in the business relationship will change, and your counterparty may try to extract maximum value from your agreement. In these cases, a tightly drafted contract can help, but in general may not be worth the ex ante expense of hiring a lawyer to look at every agreement.

2. The words on the page matter. Make sure you read them them and understand them. It may be worth having a lawyer on your first couple agreements to talk through the terms of art.

If I were to write an emulator, what old system should I pick? I've never written one before and I don't know a lot about low level CPU stuff.

I think the real point/value here is having the vision/will/ability to know when to say "no", and to say it. It's exceedingly rare for companies and products and etc to be and remain clear on their purpose/point/intent, so they lack clear guidance on when "no" is the right answer. "Somebody wants to pay us a lot for this" is basically never a good reason for "yes".

Similar to Portugal, legalizing all drug use, with a focus on treatment and pretrial diversion into treatment rather than the unending failure of Prohibition 2.0: The War on Drugs is what works. Needle exchanges are a component of reducing infectious disease rates rather than addressing drug use. The problems are the US continues the costly and ineffective War on Drugs, grossly-unequal poverty, and doesn't have healthcare, mental healthcare, or drug treatment for all. Until those all happen, hating on drug users or use a strawman about efforts to reduce infections in that population won't solve the bigger problems, and don't justify criminalizing drug use.
Wow, Dave DeLong! A name that reminds me of learning Objective-C for an internship in 2010. As he was very active on Stackoverflow back then, and blogging too, maybe? I haven’t kept track much of Swift and the he Apple ecosystem since, but seeing this post brings back good memories.

Sounds like Amazon is encountering legacy .NET Framework code that should have been upgraded to .NET 5, but Amazon's clients have spent the last few years not investing in their software and want to blame Microsoft for their own disinvestment in their software stack.

Microsoft is willing to bend over backwards and support legacy .NET Framework, but expecting them to invest in making Amazon's lift and shift of legacy applications easy and convenient is insane. There is no reason for Microsoft or anyone else to make Amazon's job easier.
I remember looking at places to stay on booking.com spit. They didn't have anything directly there, but many places at the next closest city, 26km away. Except, it's 26km over a bay, and there are closer places/bigger cities when measured by driving distance.

I wonder how Apple Maps measured the distances of your search results.
Yes, I considered that. I think it's a very valid possibility and likely GP's argument is applicable to the titan dinosaur species. However in the context of this article, we're discussing much smaller ("regular mammal-sized") dinosaurs living in polar conditions, where the calculus changes enough that this discussion is rather besides the point.

Yeah, it does a really good job lots of times with coding questions.

Sometimes, its a bit of a smart-aleck, though. E.g., I asked it to write a JavaScript interpreter in C# and it did…this:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;

namespace JavaScriptInterpreter
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
// Create a dictionary to store the variables
var variables = new Dictionary<string, object>();

// Read the lines of JavaScript code from standard input
while (true)
{
// Read a line of input
var line = Console.ReadLine();

// If the line is empty, stop reading input
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(line))
{
break;
}

// Parse and execute the JavaScript code
Execute(line, variables);
}
}

static void Execute(string code, Dictionary<string, object> variables)
{
// TODO: Implement the JavaScript interpreter
}
}
}
