OpenAI's GPT-3.5 model was tested on the Multistate Bar Examination (MBE), which is a part of the US Bar Exam.

But don’t get too excited. On average, GPT-3.5 performed 17% worse than human participants on the MBE.

Researchers believe that GPT-4 could pass all categories of the MBE within the next 18 months.

> The 10x philosophy: Every operation, from opening projects to searching for text should be instant.

You can get that with basic VIM and some grepping shortcuts. Maybe I'm just not working in sufficiently large code bases. But shouldn't a C++ specific editor have some philosophy that is specific to C++? Like awareness of ownership semantics for syntax / lint checks? Maybe not the best example, but "be fast" doesn't seem like a great differentiator.
I certainly understand not wanting them! But I also deeply understand the money that can be made from them. And if that money is going to the owner of the content, rather than some larger corporate entity giving them a small cut, I'm very happy to support that paradigm (even if I, personally, would avoid as much video ads as possible).

Edited to add:

As far as write.as, I like what they've done! I just want more rich content, rather than just text. That's kind of RSS's deal, too. Only text, all the time (exceptions make the rule). There's value in sharing all kinds of content, rather than just text.
Really hard not to gloss this as “heal people’s trauma, and why would they keep voting conservative?”
I used duck duck go until they started censoring info... Now I use brave.
I wish more or this data was publicly available, it really gives you a perspective and understanding which is otherwise extremely hard to get to.
Instagram, Dropbox, many of the major tech companies still use a monolith.

Or you can think of it as trunk/branch architecture. One main "trunk" service and other branch services augmenting it, which is a simpler thing to reason about.

Now imagine a small shop of 20 devs deciding to build something more complicated.
Ransomware group LockBit apologises, saying ‘partner’ was behind SickKids attack
I think it's a pretty nice prog.lang (PL). You may be very happy. Though nothing is perfect, there is much to recommend it. By now I've written over 150 command-line tools with https://github.com/c-blake/cligen . A few are at https://github.com/c-blake/bu or https://github.com/c-blake/nio { screw 1970s COBOL-esque SQL ;-) } or in their own repos. I use quite a few every day..(EDIT: some even dozens of times per day - "production" is more an aspect of code than a PL itself - e.g., is poorly tested Python code "production").

If it helps, I like to use the "mob branch" [0] of TinyCC/tcc [1] for really fast builds in debugging mode, but this may only work if you toss `@if tcc: mm:markAndSweep @end` or similar in your nim.cfg. Then I have a little `@if r: ...` so I can say `nim c -d:r foo` for a release build with gcc/whatever.

Reorgs rarely happen.

But the need for them does :)

So, how new knowledge would be created?

GPT has no reasoning capability. So, as time goes on, information massive(s) will be filled with GPT-X made up answers. It means GPT-X+1 will be trained on GPT-X generated data. So, without reasoning, how this thing will work in perspective?
That is also a big flaw in the study. Personality is very much dependent on context. So they measured disagreeability (1) as part of their extra-credit course work, and (2) as a follow-up. To really get into the work environment, either one has to do ethnographic field work, or make assumptions about disagreeability based on other factors.
While I mostly agree, I don't think it's so black and white on the enforcement part and I actually think that a lot of recent developments actually put holes into this.

The typical example is that when you have to explain something is the job of X and Y. Usually this means that X and Y are breaking those boundaries. Just make a semi-private (or even public) API only used for that thing and you have a broken boundary again. Or push it on a message queue, etc.

I think, it certainly helps, but then again it doesn't prevent it. Having modules you have the same effect.

So in the end you get more spots where things can get wrong and more operational complexity. If you stick to using them right, I think you can also stick to using modules right with less complexities, better performance, easier debugability, fewer moving parts.

Hackers will find a way to do hacky things everywhere. ;)

Also this whole discussion reminds me of Linus discussing how he thinks micro kernels add complexity a very long time ago. Not sure if they should be considered modules or microservices though.

Sharing global state and so on while maybe it shouldn't be done lightly, without thinking about it can and does make sense. And in most modern environments it's not like the most quoted issues can happen too easily.

Also I strongly agree with pointing out that this is actually a niche topic. It's mostly big because that niche is where probably the majority of HN and "startup" people spend their time.
What? This is exactly the type of thing that you'd have highly motivated, highly competent attackers target.

It's directly attached to money; it's technically convoluted, ugly, and difficult to understand also for the people programming them; once you steal it, it's yours; the source code is right there; the people who wrote the code are usually available to talk to/inspect their other code; it's not even exactly clear that this is theft per se and there's no jurisdiction that's really going to chase you down for it; so on and so on and so on.

I'm not sure you could create a more compelling target if you tried.
Nah, never attribute to malice, that which can be reasonably explained by stupidity.
Yeah I was kind of “yes, and”-ing the book topic. Women being out of work isn’t seen as such a crisis because so many are actually “working raising families. My point is that the same opportunity ought to be available to men, too.
Crypto was 1/5th of the ENTIRE US CONSUMER TRANSPORTATION (BEV efficiency converted)????

That is an astonishing amount of electricity for something of so little value.

But anyway, to the larger point, I agree the grid impact is overblown, especially since we should be coupling consumer BEVs with home / business / warehouse / commercial solar.
This! I often build Django apps without any javascript and it's so light weight that the pages render instantly. If there is some interactivity needed then I toss in htmx where needed.
That's an easy thing to say. The harder thing is what system should replace sprints, and why is it better?
Honestly a bit surprised it isn't doing better, with everything else it can do. Interesting write-up!
I live this every day. The right wing politicians my Dad supports want to throw me in a camp to protect "The Children" from my existence. Most of my family are staunch republicans.

At the same time, despite all that, I can still live with them because we don't HAVE to agree to get along. Just because someone disagrees with you or even treats you poorly, that doesn't mean the best thing is to do the same in return. By returning kindness in the face of malice and ignorance I have an opportunity to de-radicalize and provide a constant counter example to the propaganda.

Even better. I get to still be with my parents who, despite their flaws, are remarkable people. I could scream at them or call them names, but it wouldn't really do all that much other than alienate them. At the same time, I deeply empathize with those that want to scream back at the ignorance and hatred. You certainly don't have to tolerate abuse and are perfectly justified in walking away. But there are times for turning the other cheek.

Are there any examples of large organizations that don't have this problem? I can imagine places with small teams that are basically isolated that can operate efficiently, but once you scale to point where dozens to hundreds of teams needing to cooperate, it seems like all you have is tradeoffs and fundamental coordination and scaling issues. I've never heard of a big org that didn't have some flavor of disfunction resulting from that kind of complexity. Some places seem to be "less-bad" but that doesn't mean good or efficient.
> I do expect that even unreliable versions will be very useful tools for practicing lawyers, though.

Agreed. It's like being able to call up a map on Google Maps for an area that you're already familiar with. The map can help you remember things about the area and terrain that you might not have recalled right away. A kind of cognitive aid.
From the article it looks like there are multiple choice and written sections but they only ran the model on the multiple choice portion.

The gemfile has some jekyll plugins, some I'm guessing they've setup their netlify application to somehow handle Jekyll automatically. Not an expert with Netlify I'm guessing something in the _config.yml file is telling it to use Jekyll.
Just like how a lot of the societal pressure causing womens issues comes from women. There's no difference between genders in this aspect. Though for some reason, i see some feminists trying to blame men exclusively for men's problems. I have never seen a man blaming women for all women's issues the same way.
> I wouldn't say it's quite production ready

Would you mind elaborating why.
Even if that was true (which I believe it is not), wouldn't that already constitute "interest in dealing with businesses"? They want businesses to buy iDevices and use them for business purposes. Whatever you think on this, you should perhaps rethink after taking a look at Apple's own reporting and their press releases concerning business and enterprise customers.

> imagine that in 1900 someone invented a technology that had some kind of benefits to the users, but would make the earth uninhabitable in 205

Anything on that short a timescale would have negative effects on the existing population or their immediate descendants, which still falls under looking after the wishes of those who exist.

Your thought experiment is asserting that we can separate future negative effects from present negative effects, but I mostly reject that assertion.

Take climate change. You might argue that continued fossil fuel use is useful for people now and only really impacts hypothetical future people. However, pollution clearly affects people's health now, not to mention the death toll of the endless wars over oil.

I think the closest possible exceptions I can think of are maybe existential threats to humanity that have lots of uncertainty, like an asteroid or maybe AI. But even here, an asteroid could literally, suddenly be a threat in the next few years, and a similar argument can be made that AI could easily become dangerous within our lifetime given the pace of development, so these still impact those who exist now. These are hypothetical threats to existing people, not threats to hypothetical people.

> would a government policy that tried to reduce the incidence of fetal alcohol syndrome be unacceptable on the grounds that the people who are less likely to be born with FAS don't exist yet?

No, because the parents of those children exist now, and they don't want those outcomes.
Not sure if it qualifies as "high profile", but the Emscher renaturization project (5 billion euro budget from 1992 to now), which included digging a 51 km underground canal was on-time and on-budget as far as I can tell.
I'm guessing you'd get a year or so until you can train an AI on your handwriting and hook it up to a CNC plotter ;-)
I think it runs a bit deeper than that. Microservices are how the business views its self.

Look, once upon a time managers designed the system that workers implemented. The factory assembly line, or the policy manual.

But now the workers are CPUs and servers. The managers designing the system the workers follow are coders. I say coders are the new managers.

Now this leaves two problems. The first is that there are a lot of "managers" who are now doing the wrong job. (and explains perfectly why Steve Jobs gets involved in emails about hiring coders.) But that's a different post.

For me the second problem is microservices represent the atomic parts of a business. They should not be seen as a technical solution to anything, and because the first problem (managers arent managing workers anymore) there is no need to have the microservices built along Conways Law.

And so if you want to build a microservice it is not enough to consider the technical needs, it is not enough to automate what was there, you need to design an atomic building block of any / your company. They become the way you talk about the company, the way you think about the processes in a company.

An mostly the company becomes programmable. It is also highly likely the company becomes built mostly of interchangable parts.
> No, it's completely different. The newer Perl versions correctly continued to execute the old but already working scripts.

There was some breakage between 5.6, 5.8, and 5.10; Unicode is hard, and it takes time to get it right. But I think the key difference I've heard as a mostly python avoider is the intent was for code written for 5.6 to probably work in 5.8 and 5.10 and if it doesn't, for there to be a way to have one file that works for all versions.

From what I understand, it's not easy to have a python module/script that works in 2 and 3, and you can't go to 3 unless your dependencies do, so if you have a lot of dependencies (as is modern), you're stuck on 2. Your dependencies won't want to move to 3 either, because their users are stuck on 2, so if they just switch to 3, they're droping users; instead they need to support two parallel versions of their code. Most perl modules didn't have to do anything special to support 5.6 and 5.8, but if they did, it was usually small and it could be done within the file with conditional compilation --- I don't think that was an option for python.
I use the browser version and override favicon, notifications are also disabled and I have some greasemonkey scripts to modify behavior. It’s a moving target though
I had a product manager at my last job, who took the feedback from a retro, “we have too many meetings, we have no time to focus”, and created a new recurring meeting, “how to effectively manage your time” (30m, weekly).
> If I copy a block of code from indentation level X and paste it to indentation level Y when I have explicit end-of-block tokens the worst thing that could happen is that I end up with badly indented code that I have to clean up manually.

That's exactly the same "clean up" you need to do if you did something wrong while copy & pasting code without the useless block delimiters.

The rest is made up as someone pointed out already: Exactly this story comes up every time but in reality it never happens. (Besides when someone tries hard to get it wrong by all means only to prove their made up point).
Funny thing, the maker of Spintronics made Turing Tumble first -- it's a similar game which explores mechanical (marble) logic! https://upperstory.com/turingtumble/
100% disagree, I absolute hate when people call me and do not leave a VM.

Unless I have prescheduled a call with you, and I am expecting our call you are going to VM, i do not answer unsolicited calls even from people I know
I would also love to hear from a channel that does sponsorships, patreon, etc. Seems this channel almost exclusively does YouTube ad revenue.
I find official websites don't have enough accurate pinpoint measurements for things like temperature, humidity or AQI.

For those, I prefer wunderground.org or purpleair.com (both of which rely on both government as well as crowd-sourced data from valid sensors).
But not at the terminal.
What's with every paid software product being a monthly subscription now? I just wanna buy and forget, not be reminded of it every month on my credit card statement.
> You could even have it write unit tests based on the JIRA ticket description.

This is a wonderful point: writing unit tests is exactly the kind of mind-numbing tedium that I'm super excited to automate away.
Not really, this demonstrated how bar exam don't require a large amount of reasoning, but lots of recitations.

Humans are bad at reciting things, but a lot better (compared to GPT) at reasoning.
I’m still surprised that people are aware of the drawbacks that a patriarcal society with strong gender division where those who don’t conform are usually punished, and somehow identify with “redpilled antifeminists” who want a traditional society and attack the group which historically has been criticizing and questioning gendered roles.
When the universe ends, then everything will be dead and nothing and no one will care. Therefore, the entire field of philosophy is solved, all everything has zero worth, and so any regard to if things should live or die is meaningless.
I'm struggling to interpret this. On the one hand it could be saying that from the perspective of a capitalist, we unfairly decline to assign the capitalist system blame when someone falls through the cracks. But the fundamental difference between the two systems is that the latter trades some amount of a person's autonomy for a better collective "deal". In other words, a communist society takes responsibility for the well-being of its citizens, so it also bears the responsibility when things go south and someone dies before their time. (Whether the system values that life to the same degree as the person and their family is a different question.)
I think the greatest incentive would be to normalize remote work.

Offering tax benefits to companies that move out of Tokyo might be effective but only in the long term.
Black-and-white thinking leads absolutely nowhere. Maybe in 2023 we can agree to leave it behind?

I think it's pretty obvious that a self-published blog provides more freedom to publish what and how you want, and that's valuable, even if it's not absolute freedom.
I did not verify his figures, but his methodology was BEV efficiency, not the amount of energy in a gallon of gasoline. Electric drivetrains and cars are designed ground-up for efficiency to a degree that ICE cars are not, as well as the fact that something like 80-90% of energy in a gallon of gasoline is wasted (60-70% due to Carnot efficiency alone).
It's not the explanation of a political scientist whose column you'd prize reading, but it's better than most online commentary that humans would produce; for instance, it just takes for granted that he was being asked to step down and refused, and skipped over his unconstitutional attempt to dissolve Congress, but it makes an attempt to present facts.

So, it's at the level of a person of average intelligence and a bit over superficial investment in what's being asked about.

I lack the knowledge now to tell if it will stall at this level, but that's nothing to sneeze at for something whose labor comes for free and tirelessly, and may keep improving.
Glancing at the Gemfile, it's a Jekyll system. That's a Ruby package that does all the markdown to markup conversion.

Yes portability etc is a thing but this is targeting trusted relationships and non tech-savvy folks. It’s also really easy to do and doesn’t need many to so a different phone number can be explained well enough as ‘a friend’s phone’ or even just ‘my old phone broke’
I think “riff off Churchill” or “borrow from” would be helpful instead of “paraphrase,” since the quote was originally about democracy, not capitalism (mostly wanted to note this because a couple people seem to have taken as a direct quote more or less).

sounds like its a supply line problem. probably stretching all the way to china.
That is harder when each service and team has their own repo and review process. Doesn't mean they won't just get merged, but there is increased friction and less-trust about random PRs from engineers that aren't actively working on the same team, so those PRs might get more scrutiny.
