You make an interesting point but I think the difference between the replicator and the microwave is pretty great, as we recently learned from our worldwide supply train issues.

The can of soup had a whole factory, with robotic and human workers, management, metals, fossil fuels, storage containers, inspectors, transportation devices, highways, warehouses and retailers that it needed to get to your microwave. When any of those are bottlenecked there's a huge problem. It will likely forever be a fantasy but a Star Trek type replicator would streamline that process by a fair margin and have far fewer critical links.

A real-world example would be the difference between a old-fashioned printed newspaper with no digital distribution and an online only paper. The print version might seem superior in some respects but by the time it would get to McMurdo, the news would already be pretty old, vs up to the minute currency for a web browser. And once we start talking Shackleton or beyond, the difference only gets worse. In fact a good use case for an autonomous robotic presence is extraterrestrial exploration or labor. They could endure higher g acceleration, long periods in cold storage, don't need atmosphere, and don't experience existential terror -- as far as we know!
Abstractions. Sometimes you need them. Different operating systems, CPU architectures, applications, clients, libraries, versions, hell different companies running proprietary apps, licensing, regulations... A database with a dumb network socket on a random host is fairly well abstracted.

As far as HA goes, that abstraction can then go toward allowing your apps and DB to be built for different reliability/durability/etc requirements, potentially saving money, gaining better performance or reliability, meeting weird compliance requirements, contractual requirements, vendor or software limitations, etc.

It's also easier to troubleshoot and maintain the database separate from the application in some circumstances. If SQLite is bundled with your application, it might be harder to deal with a problem affecting one or the other. In traditional organizations, you can hire people to manage databases and people to manage applications, rather than one person who has to deal with both, or even weirder, two people that would be working on one db-in-your-app.

SQLite is one of the most reliable codebases in the industry. You're ignoring what the comment says. In an n-tier architecture, both your app server and your database server needs to be HA, because they're servers. With SQLite, the app server is the database server. It's still HA, there's simply one fewer thing to HA-ify.

I don't know what "non-enterprise-ready" means, but it sounds like a selling point to me. The XML can come later.

Amazon intentionally doesn’t make a profit. It’s an excellent tax avoidance strategy and since their shareholders are OK with it a fantastic way to put their competition out of business.

Well, the canonical example of an AI has always been something that can play chess. We have devised numerous methods of artificially playing chess without needing to employ machine learning.

This article has aged very poorly. It's hard to look at LLMs and argue they don't have reasoning capability.
A "10x programmer" is, I think, a kind of goofy term.

In 26 years working at Apple, I can think of a dozen or so engineers that were remarkably capable, prolific, able to hold an entire code stack and all its esoteric nuances in their head, could handily see how to refactor an entire framework, or replace several frameworks with one.

I don't know if I would call them 10x programmers though — as I understand how the term is being used.

But I can think of two, maybe three engineers that I would say were so far above everyone else in ability that I absolutely would call them 10x programmers. They were seemingly able to additionally hold in their head the working of the processor, its registers, the idiosyncrasies of the compiler and linker, how the low-level file manager and thread managers work.... It was clear to me that they just think differently.

I recall a bug that I wrestled with for days (and other coworkers were stymied as well). Out of desperation I asked a 10x-er and the bug was resolved in 5 minutes. Remarkable. I even asked him how he saw the problem so quickly but even his answer was gave me no comfort. It was, as I say, clear that I just didn't think that way.
Pretty sure a bank IT problem is going to affect direct money transfers too?
Use Containerize for that.

John Titor told me that this isn't an insane scale at all. You know, on the IBM 5100 computer they could only run like 1000 KB.
I think you're either misrepresenting reality or stretching the truth.

For example, if you're redefining bug as "bug that made it past testing" that's one thing.

But I don't buy anyone writing Python daily for 15 years hasn't seen the term "TypeError" which is what your previous two comments were implying.
Exact same thing I thought reading the GP. I've done shit just as impressive-looking on paper. I've also been the fuck-around who barely does anything, or have plugged away on mind-numbing low-value crap for months on end, none of it executed especially well.

"Real" 10x might exist but I think most times it's a combination of some minimum ability level, the work environment, the team, and, crucially, the actual tasks a person can get ahold of, that lets 10x manifest.

Some people probably manage to engineer their careers such that they continuously receive such work, and are able to reject or avoid work that wouldn't let them perform that way. That would look an awful lot like "real" 10x.

Meanwhile, sure, smarter people than me exist and they can certainly solve certain problems I can't. I don't think that's quite what "10x" usually means, though.
I believe using large language models to generate paper will be the trend eventually. Being an English as a second language speaker, writing these papers cost too much time. If I am a native speaker, my output could be at least 2-4x. These AI models give me a lot of hope. Now there are just so many results sitting there in the hard drives collecting dust, but I don't have the time/energy to write a paper for them. This AI authorship issue needs to get resolved one day.
He's arguing that AI should be closer to what the public calls AGI. The semantics are important here, since people think that LLMs like chatGPT have intellect, and some have even gone so far as to tie an IQ to it.

The truth is that the model has no intelligence, but can do what we attribute to humans intelligence. Alike to how computers were deemed intelligent by the public for doing fast mathematics, computers still cannot think. There is no self-reflection, agency, or abstract thought.

Also, for readers, this person is often regarded as the equivalent of Michael Jordan (the NBA player) of AI. He's a superstar in the field, so it's safe to take his word with considerable weight.
Right, I’m in a similar boat and I didn’t even go to college… all self taught.
both show the old design to me so seems more like some servers in a group have the new design elements and some have the old?
Thank you for the response and reference.
Those are absolutely problems. I suspect they're artifacts in configurations from when it was believed that Google did no evil and the next biggest company trying to get in on the web search was Microsoft and leaving them in wasn't a great loss.

Now roles are reversed (or at least, equal - though if DDG consuming bing data is considered to be on the side of good, an argument could be made for reversed) and yet those configurations persist because they were forgotten about.

My post above is a just so story ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just-so_story ) for why they are the way they are now. Old systems that work tend to be forgotten until a security fix needs to go in and Chesterton's fences in config files tend to be left.

With todays resources, I would not advocate indiscriminate tcp tarpits for things that might be badly behaved crawlers until they demonstrate that they are indeed badly behaved crawlers or scanners searching for exploits.
So your productivity vary by a factor 100? I don't believe that, unless you are talking about short periods. That would mean that you would do more work in 3 days in one situation than you did in a year in another. So either you greatly overestimate what you did in those 3 days, or you greatly under estimate what you did in that year, or you were in an accident and is now brain damaged.
Yep. You are right. Insurrection.

Rewriting COBOL in javascript would make the codebase accessible to a larger pool of potential engineers who are also more likely to be up-to-date on best practices (as opposed to an engineer that has stagnated in COBOL for 30 years.)

I'm not sure a rewrite is warranted, but a system isn't maintainable if there aren't enough people trained in the particular language / tech stack.
You might find the notion of the stoic “sage” interesting. It’s more or less the impossible manifestation of perfect human virtues in one human being; something akin to being a perfect human all the time, though not godly.

It wasn’t thought that a Sage would be emotionless at all, but would actually embrace emotions fully. They would just be the ideal emotions to express for the given circumstance.

It’s a far-fetched idea but the case for emotion being unnecessary is refuted well by stoicism and other philosophies (in my opinion). I think the idea that a perfect entity would feel nothing may be inspired by the fact that as humans, we’re often victims of our own emotions and we fear how they can control us. In reality, they’re a useful tool of expression, positive reinforcement, and communication. The only problem is when they aren’t the product of careful reflection and ongoing consideration.
> Can you do it 10x better/faster than other people who are also experts in that area?

Different people - different areas.

Like in Sciter[1] I've implemented HTML, CSS and script engines from ground up and by myself. If a task requires deep knowledge of browser internals from all sides then I think I can be of that 10x. Even among browser developers that do HTML/DOM or CSS or script engines.

It is not a secret that indie developers are in times more productive than teams that design analogous products. For many reasons.

The fact that you refer to workers in "developing countries" as being leveraged for clients "more sensitive to costs" should tip you off that what you're doing is exploitative and dehumanising.
Tesla is in trouble? I think every other auto company other than BYD are on the verge of going out of business. Tesla makes every traditional auto company look incompetent. It's now cheaper, over a period of 8 years, to buy and "fuel" a Model 3 than a Toyota Camry. My Model Y saved my wife's life by literally preventing her from completing a left hand turn when the light turned red because it saw a car (that she did not) doing 80-90MPH that 2 seconds later ran the red light. I could go on for hours about how amazing the car and their tech is.

Sometimes this is true, and sometimes it's what CORBA advocates say you to get you to adopt object brokers. Sometimes your app benefits from an explicit networked database tier, and sometimes it doesn't. I'm fine if you think most of the time it does. I'm not fine if you think it rarely does: that's not true. There are big advantages to not having a separate database tier, and the industry is sleeping on them.

(To be clear: the company I work for sells a Postgres service, and we benefit from n-tier databases! I have strong opinions here because I think this is an interesting controversy.)
I wrote a system in a year and a half, that solved a big need at my company for many hundreds of people. Another group -- the group that SHOULD have written it -- got mad that I had done it, and started their own version. It took 10 people 3 years to create their system, and it was terrible, slow, and didn't work the way the business needed it to, but they didn't care. It was so bad, they brought Microsoft in to try to speed it up, and even they couldn't do anything with it. Management changed, and my system was taken away from me, and given to the other group. They made a couple minor patches right after the handover, but, basically, it's run without handholding for about 6 years now, while they try to force people to use their system.

Not personas in the common usage sense.

Personas are a psychological trick for humans. Generally quite effective. Like reading out loud they are to stop your brain not seeing what you don't want to see (ie bugs)
It can be difficult for co-ops to access capital. Investors are extremely hesitant to invest money in an organization where the employees can simply vote to use that money to give themselves all raises.

There are other ways to achieve what you're after: stock options, profit-sharing agreements, or even just a generous bonus structure based on hitting revenue targets are all quite common.
What we're witnessing here are the last gasps of the old world order. Powerful people are going to be tripping over each other in the next few years, lawyering and philosophizing around, trying to define "intelligence", "consciousness", "authorship" etc. to serve their interests, but it will all be for nothing.

Very soon you'll be able to tell an AI to "write a vampire romance novel", "design an Earth observation satellite", or "compose a symphony in the style of Beethoven", and the result will be plainly superior to what any human engaging in the same pursuit could produce. At that point, the whole "sentience" debate will fall apart, along with much of society as even the smartest humans are made essentially obsolete.

>Also, there are a lot of people who are working in knowledge fields who have no curiosity at all - They seem to be doing it entirely for money and/or status

What's wrong with doing something for money? You make it sound like a bad thing. Do you think the janitor cleans your toilet because they find the work so intellectually stimulating? The work needs to get done, and most people would rather watch TV or go on a walk or play a sport or read a book or countless other things instead of slaving away at someone else's project, so society uses money to motivate them to devote their time and attention to that thing. You sound like one of those people who think that knowledge workers should work for peanuts just because the work is so interesting.
Their reasoning is explained in the issue you linked.

IMO this sounds like a YAGNI thing. You can pass extra information via the URL, query parameters, cookies work just like normal HTTP, etc... And if those options don't work you can just exchange whatever information you want inside the websocket connection. I can't think of a use case that requires a custom header.

That's probably because the definition of `robot` is different in almost every dictionary. Cambridge defines it as:
a machine controlled by a computer that is used to perform jobs automatically

Others say it has to look human to be considered a robot.
How would I fix the errors? I know Wikipedia is lying to me. I can delete the information, which is pretty likely to get reverted. But I can't replace it with correct information; I have no idea when the idea of bread fried in eggs is first documented, and I have no idea whether or not the stock character of Chen Shimei is based on a historical person. For all I know Wikipedia is lying about the publication date of the story they cite. It's more likely they're lying about the character being based on a historical person, or the time when that person lived, but I can't tell, because there's no reference to anything I could look up.

I've evaluated crossplane and one of the biggest drawbacks is not being able to properly diff your expected changes with your actual state. Basically there is no way to run a plan of your change. It's essentially a diff in a github pr, then you merge, sync with argocd, and hope your crossplane apply won't fail.

I prefer the terraform method where you are declarative, run plan and then apply. Ive worked with env0, terrafo cloud, spacelift, and atlantis. Ive worked with crossplane and argocd. So far my favorite has been to use terraform with a cicd solution.

Crossplane is too bleeding edge and will need some time for maturity. I do see crossplane or something similar once the edges have been fully polished.

I don't normally read books that are anywhere near as large as a 27" monitor, and when I do they often have pretty massive margins (or "whitespace").

What if self-reflection, agency, or abstract thought aren’t required for intelligence?
That may be, but then his position doesn't stand up as nobody calls everything AI in the AGI sense in the first place. AI is indeed used often, but it is very much understood that it means something quite different to AGI (hence the two different terms).
