All this ChatGPT hysteria led me to have the following conversation with it. Probably hit some near future nail on its head. "Hello AI, please do today's tasks", the programmer will be on the level of the call center operator of today in terms of skills

* Human: Explain to me the phenomenon of post-ChatGPT depression seen in a software developer

* ChatGPT: [...] After using the ChatGPT tool, some developers may experience feelings of depression, sadness, and loss. This may be due to the realization that their job as a developer has been reduced to using a tool that can be easily replicated by others, leading to a feeling of redundancy and lack of fulfillment in their work.

Additionally, the use of ChatGPT may also lead to a loss of creativity and problem-solving skills, as the tool takes care of the majority of the coding process. This can cause developers to feel like they are no longer contributing to their team or making a meaningful impact in their field.

In short, post-ChatGPT depression is a psychological reaction to the use of a tool that simplifies the coding process, leading to feelings of redundancy, lack of fulfillment, and loss of creativity in software developers.
Power to the corporations.

I remember buying a Google Nexus phone way back, having it delivered to my home. Only to find an empty box, someone had stolen it in transit.

All I did was report the theft to the police so I got a case number, then sent the case number to the vendor and a new phone was in my hands within a week. That's how socialist sweden works.
Mm, I'll wait for Brutus' release.
> ...if you tried to run a cloud compute product with the traditional Google model it would (in my opinion) fail miserably.

Google does sell G Workspace to enterprises? YouTube also seems to do well with enterprise-y stuff involving the Movie and Music industry, as another example.

GCP is all-enterprise zero-consumer, sure. But: GCP's got execs from SAP and Oracle at helm, and I believe, it is a problem that, over the shorter-term, they can throw money at (by hiring execs from Dell / Oracle / Cisco / HP / IBM / Qualcomm, as at that scale of spend, enterprise sales is mostly a game of who knows who).
Non-traceablity defeats the purpose of a currency. Might as well trade in gold. For most transactions, physical money isn't really needed nor convenient.
That does not mean it is legal to reject it.
It doesn't really say why, I'd like to know as well.

In what case is a long haul really required? Other than specialist superheavy or extra wide/long loads, everything should be on a train for those long runs. Modalohr [1] wagons make it very easy, although I have seen a specialised forklift setting semi-trailers onboard [2] trains in Rotterdam. This sort of handling is probably ripe for automation (there is a standard for the trailers, add some tags for computer vision and work on it from there). I saw something recently about a Modalohr-esque system to put hooklift containers on wagons for local waste collection in Switzerland.

My personal dream is that not only is port to industry fully on rails, but local distribution is rail-oriented also, to the point that a significant proportion of deliveries to shops in cities are made using pallets or trolleys loaded on freight trams. I do understand that the unusual nature of America makes this sort of change nigh-impossible, but maybe they could ship their semi-trailers on trains?

I just thought of another possible explanation to give them. "All software has a marginal cost of $0, so all effort is in improvements and that still needs to be paid for."
Returning to college teaching mid-pandemic, I bought an SAF Aranet4 Home CO2 meter for measuring my classrooms. It mostly lives in my apartment, waiting to alert me in case I didn't realized I was using my gas range.

There's good evidence predating the pandemic that sufficient air exchange can nearly eliminate respiratory disease transmission. Just as they learned long ago in London that one could eliminate cholera by not drinking sewage water, we understand that the air quality and rate of exchange of indoor air should approximate that of outdoor air. We're however too cheap to do anything about this; it will take more deadly pandemics to drive the needed infrastructure changes.

Do you wince at the idea of people in London drinking sewage water? Those ignorant savages? Yeah, that's how people in the future will look back at us, getting colds and worse all the time in indoor air cesspools.

As we breath out CO2, it makes a great way to measure whether we're changing the air in a room fast enough to keep up with occupant breathing. Wilderness air passed 400ppm as part of global warming. My Manhattan apartment is above the Henry Hudson Parkway, and I can tell the time of day and day of week from the effect of traffic on my CO2 meter. I'm lucky to ever get below 450ppm.

The Aranet works far better than a $30 meter at the measurements a $30 meter will make, such as humidity. By appearance and build quality it's in a different league. CO2 is a bonus.
Do birds chew gum?
Electric trucks don't pay for road maintenance, trains do. It's not a fair comparison.
I believe the media has recently (ca 2020) taken to call it "German Lüfting" as it was temporarily celebrated as a solution to the ongoing pandemic.

Postgraphile is by fart he most advanced project (over Supabase and Hasura). Still, unfortunately, that is the reason why it's complex and appears to be reluctant for many.

What about a PaaS to deploy complete ready-to-use backends made of [Postgraphile + Console + dedicated Postgres + Job queue + Passport.js ]. One that removes all the complexity of Postgraphile and with which you can use ANY DB management tools (DataGrip, VS Code, pgAdmin, etc)?
I would totally understand this on VPS and dedis where the crypto is mining ssd blocks (I think it’s name is Chia).

But preventing me from running a normal bitcoin node on my server, which writes 400GB once and is done makes me left confused.

Yes - if there is money on the table, someone is going to grab it. Perhaps it's true that "Like they literally don’t have the software or expertise to plan the loads around electric needs without losing money on every load.", but if so those guys are going to end up having their lunches eaten by more nimble competitors that do.
Just FYI if this happens to you email jeff@amazon.com and it gets sorted in a few weeks. Happened to my despite being a long time customer with over £20k orders.
chatGPT spits out the first thing to be generated with no self-awareness that it could be wrong let alone have self-reflection to correct itself. Maybe it seems people can be that way but this is generally not how humans function.
If you placed the order, and the wrong item was sent to fulfill your order, you can be required to return it. That's not an unsolicited package.

In the U.S., it is illegal for a retailer to send an unsolicited item and demand payment. This is not that case; you requested an item, they just sent the wrong one.

I'm sympathetic to dualism, being an idealist who thinks that there's just mental substances. I don't think there's any conflict between substance dualism and the belief that most of what we consider intelligence or understanding is actually the work of brains rather than mental substances. Minds have experiences, but that doesn't mean that those experiences aren't heavily influenced by facts about the physical (and, more specifically, our brains).

Machine learning is modeled at least in small part in a way that it's thought the brain operates. I expect such things to be able to mimic human reasoning and intelligence, I just deny that there's any consciousness behind it -- there's no qualia, no phenomenology. In short, there's nothing that it's like to be ChatGPT. Even so, ChatGPT is able to mimic human intelligence, and I won't be surprised if (when?) it gets even better.
And who knows how many other scenarios they considered? The reason it's a lot of work to ferret these situations out is because there are a ton of things that can go wrong. Who knows how many other situations were considered? For this to be a development failure, we'd need to see a pattern. One instance doesn't make a pattern.
Couldn't you just try out?

Last time I checked through Vultr[0] from South America, Ashburn was significantly faster than Digital Ocean in SFO. Though, not sure if this helps you.

In 10 years we will be deep into the decarbonization of transportation.

Maybe that doesn't mean electric. But if you can get 500miles today at reasonable efficiency then this is one of the really really easy things to decarbonize early. All you need are truck stops with good charging every couple of hundred miles. There are other sectors that are infinitely harder and almost certainly won't work with electric barring unforeseen breakthroughs (e.g. aviation).
Nothing except satellites lol
I've been saying this for years and for some reason no one seems to take it seriously: we're heading towards an era where it's going to be incredibly difficult to differentiate real and fake information. It's not going to be wholly fake or auto-generated content either. It'll be taking something that is real and modifying it to make it false where you have a hard time telling which one is real.

Interestingly, this issue came up in the book Anathem that had bots basically creating fake information and then selling you a solution to filter it out.
That is how you realize the intent is to oppress senselessly, not just oppress.
IMO the developer need multiple safety nets from the wide net to the narrow one:

- informal methods:
- unstructured time to think about the problem (Hammock Driven Development)
- write things down = writing is thinking
- Rubber Duck Driven Development
- design reviews

- lightweight formal methods:
- Decision Tables
- FSMs
- FP / Algebraic Type System with rich scalar datatypes
- DbC - Design-by-Contract
- PBT - Property-based Testing
- TDD - example-based tests
You need some margin for days with headwinds or cold or road closures / detours.
That's not a request I think I have seen before. I will make sure to pass that on. I believe some of the dev team members will be checking out this thread throughout the day to catch up on y'alls suggestions. --Katie
To some extent, but people also have convictions about certain things, which GPT-based chatbots don't. The world would be very different if we could "fix" racists simply by asking them their favorite thing about people from other races (implying that there are admirable qualities, which GPT-3 plays along with but humans don't).
Because it’s clickbait?
Well, the vast majority of multiplayer games were made after the 90s.
Ask HN: Measuring performance of binary code layout
What is the current state of things regarding binary code layout optimization?

I've watched a talk [1] on the Coz profiler, that asserted that code layout changes can have significant impact on performance.

My concrete questions:

- Are there recent (>2019) studies or papers discussing the effect of code layout on performance?

- Which tools can I use to inspect and alter code layout? Do I pass some flags to a linker or is there a specialized application for it?

The difference is that scholars don't generate revenue for the university. Also, hiring PhDs in academia is surprisingly cheap.

An important figure that I'd like to see is the energy efficiency. In a lot of applications, the microcontroller is going to be asleep 95%+ of the time.

For those, what I want to know isn't really how fast it can do $COMPUTATION, it's how many time it can do it before I have to charge the battery.
> I don’t know how to complain properly

Oh I don't know, I think you're doing a fine job of it.

All of those things you complain about not being able to do, you know that you can't do them.

If you know you can't do them, and want to do them, then you can learn how.

Alternatively, you can lay your issues at your parents feet and mope about how hard your life is as a millionaire.
It seems my post was unclear and sounds like I'm against helmets. If so, sorry about that. It's quite the opposite. I ride a bike every day and use a helmet at all times, and would recommend everybody should do the same.

But I agree that making it mandatory will do more harm than good, for the reasons stated in the article.
I think some people used to believe that a swallowed piece of gum might cause appendicitis. I don't know how accurate that belief is, but maybe your parents weren't trying to be mean, just cautious.
I think it's really easy to say that without knowing anything about what they actually did.
IMHO this has to be offered by the platform, not by some other party/intermediary. Of course I could run minio, swift, etc by myself, but this is not the point.
> It's pretty much unobtanium for as long as they've been in business

> I've yet to see a Pi 'IRL'

This is such an interesting contrast to where I live in the United States. Until some time in 2021 I could go to Microcenter and expect to find what I wanted on the shelf most of the time. Mail order availability has sort of fluctuated over the past decade, but usually the stuff was available without too much difficulty. I don't think I've ever had to buy one at a marked up price, and certainly not as part of a bundle.

Oddly, Adafruit used to markup their Pis something like five or ten bucks when purchased in small quantities, buy they don't do that anymore. If you're willing to leave https://rpilocator.com running on your PC on Wednesday (it used to be that Wednesday was the day of the week Adafruit sold that week's allotment of Pis, I'm not sure that's still the case but this worked for me in August) you can probably get a Pi 4 from them. This kooky approach worked better for me than Adafruit's email notification of availability. By the time I received their email one Wednesday in June, they were sold out.

Of course rpilocator might locate something closer to home. Adafruit's 2FA keeps the product from being sold out instantly, which is nice.

So to push this to absurd dimensions, if Amazon sent you a Tesla instead of a paper clip due to some erroneous internal process, you could keep the Tesla and still demand Amazon send you the paper clip?
That's why, for large items from untrustworthy retailers, I start filming the moment the delivery person rings the bell and film the entire handover process, including signing the delivery, constantly keeping the product in frame until the package is open, I've got out the product, installed it in a test setup, and it's actually working.

I ordered a GPU on ebay earlier this year, and followed this process to the letter to make sure I'd have proof if the product arrived broken.
"It confuses us in ways" could be framed: "it makes us rethink and expand our definition of intelligence and human cognition in very interesting ways".

Even if it's far from "true human" level (whatever that means), it gives us a theory about ourselves that's computationally falsifiable.

You can get much closer to the center of a soccer ball than you can a moon. And since gravity falls off with the square of distance it's a very significant difference.
It is a personalized StackOverflow on steroids, so I expect it not only increase productivity of boilerplate tasks, but also teach how to program in the process.

In addition to classically trained, self-taught, we're going to have AI-taught programmers. There will be some curious cultural differences there.

We're the old guard now: "Listen kiddo, in my days, we had to google for stuff! We were lucky if there was any documentation to read, manually!"
I’m pretty sure Amazons plan is to be able to punish people for chargebacks to the extent that they’d rather eat the loss instead of lose access to Amazon services. Imagine doing a charge back for fraud and then being kicked off AWS or not being able to buy groceries at Whole Foods.
With a good quality power supply, SD card and a battery backup, that's not too problematic. Most people however either cheap out on these or they get fakes, which is a problem on its own.
This is my takeaway from the article as well. Using "severe" as adjective reveals a lot about who wrote it...
It wouldn’t be a threat if we didn’t have an economy that distributed most gains to the very top. If things were more equitable it would mean we will all become much wealthier due to a large productivity increase.

I almost never see that raised in these discussions. We have been so conditioned not to think about this subject.

We can blame the tech, each other, everything but the system.
My local contacts in Berlin have called it Lüftschlag — air punch.

(Although, who knows, that might just be a weird localism, just like “Guten Nacht, schlaf gut, träum süß von sauren Gurken.” which I was taught in Köln and nobody else I’ve talked to anywhere in Germany recognises, though when I say I learned it in Köln they all go “Oh, Köln, yeah, they’re all crazy like that”.)
I don't think the person you're replying to denies the importance of teachers. Rather, it's that students don't know about the quality of teaching before they get to the school and generally have little way of finding out even if they wanted to, and so other factors actually determine their decisions.

> Everyone has caught up

They are caught up when they start outselling Tesla (or heck become available so one can actually buy one).

Great cars (which I don't think Hyundai/Kia are by any stretch of imagination, from piss-poor software to poor charging infrastructure, but let's discount this for now) can exist at great prices all they want, but if I can't get my hand on one and the 500 or so that show up once every few month get gobbled up in seconds, they practically do not exist at all.

And mind you, the disparity in production is not gonna go away any time soon. They're all limited by battery production and unless they make their own batteries, Tesla has long been in the line to buy batteries from anywhere they possibly can, as much as they can. They don't screw around.

BYD is far more of a competitor to Tesla than Kia/Hyandai have been to date.

EDIT: and Tesla is no exemption here - once they have a Cybertruck selling in competitive "numbers", it becomes competitive. Until then, Rivians and Fords are leading the pack (and I must say, beautifully).
I have added an email to my description, you can see it if you click my username.

I didn't follow the car replacement schedule line. Why would a suburbanite replace cars every three years vs six for a block dweller? Both of those seem extremely short to me.
Maybe. It surely has to potential to eliminate the "hero" team setup (1 senior + n juniors doing all the boring stuff), which means people won't get junior jobs and seniors will thin out eventually. So, yes, maybe indeed the death of software development.

Or it could transform swdev into an AI-centricindustry where people take care of everything the AI can not.
As a frequent user of arch linux and not so frequent user of windows I think this might come from the lazy loading of .net for all the apps.

Excel might be the worst here, but that is an UX problem. When you open it, it will first have you make it editable, then you need to allow connections, and finally if you want to mess around with something like powerquery it will lazy load .net each time before the UI is showing.

It really depends on the type of applications you use though.

I have frequently wondered why .net is just not preloaded somewhere on system launch and kept in memory. At least that is how it feels to me not being familiar with the .net technicals.

You might want to measure this. I actually think that you are correct, but what we think is often wrong.
Game changing. EGUI just graduated to “able to be considered for serious projects.”
Again, I am sorry that we could not accept your accounts. Every day, we also reject a large number of accounts from German and European users if there are red flags. (And unfortunately, there are some real situations that are logical that can lead still to false red flags.)
For example, I have an unusual last name, especially for here in Germany, and when I have done personal shopping, I have had a number of online e-shops reject my new accounts because that looked suspicious or because they didn't think an address I wanted to send something to was real. So I understand that your frustration is real, and I am sorry for it. --Katie

DCMA Claims, and DMCA Counter Notification are required to have certin things in them to be legally valid, My guess is that form text has all of the legally required elements, and if you submit a counter notification that is missing even one element that is required it is perfectly legal to reject it
