Yes, RF started preparation to war with Ukraine in 2008. I was attacked by Russians in December 2008, so I'm at war for 14 years. However, it was clear from the first day of the fall of Soviet Union that Russian will try to recapture Ukraine, because a) Ukraine is THE historical state of Russia, while Russian Federation contains no territory named "Russia", b) Russian killed 7 million adult Ukrainians in 1932-1934 (officially confirmed number by RF) and 23 million children (not accepted by RF), c) Soviet Union planted about 20 000 agents all over Ukraine for this exact scenario: to bring Ukraine back to Soviet Union when Ukraine break out.
For this to mean anything, you will have to make the claim that Fuchsia is more similar to Serenity OS than Android or any other full scale OS project. And if it truly is closer to the pet project, then that's not a good sign for a company like Google, who is paying X number of engineers to work on this
> The rationale being that until the API is fixed, I don't want to have to adapt the tests to the changing API all the time.

The rationale behind test-first is that you won't know what the API should look like until you try writing some sample client code that uses your provisional API to access some data. So why not make those tests, iron out the kinks in your API and have a few functional tests at the end of it; two birds, one stone.
Moving away from your family, friends, and professional connections; the expense and hassle of the actual physical move; dealing with customs, immigration requirements, employment sponsorships, etc. in a new country; etc. may in fact be too expensive and unpleasant an undertaking for many cosmopolitan American liberals to countenance, irrespective of how nice Canada itself is.
Not trolling, but I'm actually curious how it gets "better" in this case? I mean was it ever meant to actually code?

As far as I can tell, until it actually understand what it is doing, it's just kind of "blending" what it thinks the most common response is based on thousands of other similar responses to similar questions.

I can imagine people tweaking it down to be more "right" in some cases, but then won't it just become more wrong in other cases?

I'm actually starting understand why AI is good at generating pictures, statistically it's just flipping bits to look like other bits it's seen relative to the input specified. Code on the other hand is something which needs/should to be more precise.

There's also the fact that the more people lean on this tech, the more mistakes will be perpetuated into the system and the less samples it will have available to learn from, as people are no longer feeding it new answers.

I guess like how DeepMind trained AlphaGo, it can code itself to learn, but I I do imagine the problem space for it to "play itself" against is practically infinite, even compared to go, the game, which is also a huge space.

I'm a software person, not an AI person, but I love thinking about it.

I live not too far from the area. There was a lot of pressure to call it terrorism early on because this just happened to coincide with a drag show happening in the effected area that Proud Boy members and locals tried to prevent from happening via threats, and a month prior they were harassing people at another drag show in another nearby city. So whether these same people attacked the substations to prevent the drag show from happening is just speculation, they were absolutely terrorizing some people in some way and so far it's the only lead I know of.

Usually that effort should go toward naming functions rather than their results, though, and if the functions have good names, the results don't need them. In this example, `other_function` could have been named `get_user_data`, `new_function` could have been called `extract_user_details`, whatever.

Once you have good function names, which you should generally be spending a lot more effort on than good local variable names, you won't find any value in adding variables like `var foo = get_foo()`.

I've played with and studied netcode and I'm unsure what GTA netcode would even look like. I've seen cheats to the point where everyone is just teleported to the cheater, the cheater spawning millions of dollars, cheaters taking away millions of dollars from people, the cheater unlocking all the online collectables for everyone in the lobby at the same time, people screwing with singleplayer sessions, cheaters crashing games, and much more.

This doesn't surprise me at all. There seems to be zero validation that other people's actions. How was netcode even designed to players allowed to teleport and unlock collectable for one another? How does the client accept actions from other players in a singleplayer game?

This doesn't seem to be just standard peer2peer issues, it seems like Rockstar went out of their way to design the least secure netcode possible.

I feel like there was so (informal?) theorem that a full-specification of a program is at least as long as the program. Since you have to tell the AI what the specification is, the worst that could happen is programming becomes more like Knuth's "literate programming", or maybe even better, all programs become formally verified. But that will just mean chasing bugs in your specification. It could eliminate implementation bugs, but it's not going to help with figuring out what my problem actually is. It also isn't going to be able to choose among the solutions, so I'll just end up making a bunch of choices. So maybe programmers become like technical managers, but managing an AI bot instead of a person. Which is sort of how it is today, except the compiler is pretty stupid and pedantic.

But even something straightforward: "write a hash function whose output evenly mixes the input" or "write a function to convert an RGB image to a dithered B&W image" is harder than it seems. How do I know the dithering algorithm chosen is good for my data? How do I know the hash function actually does what I asked and doesn't have some funnel somewhere? I'll have to write some tests, but I can't get the AI to write the tests, because how do I know the tests will be right?

How are al Qaeda and ISIS doing today?

It's not just spitting out generic things, there is genuine understanding here and genuine creativity.

That's an absolutely massive claim but I think it's a false one.

I've seen it be creative, but how good / useful that creativity is seems to be somewhat quite the roll of a dice. This is opposed to someone / something being intentionally creative.

This is not to knock the system, but depending on the "seed" you might get something brilliant or silly, I think there's a major difference there to your claim that's it's "genuinely" creative. Genuinely creative would imply that 100% of the time, I get something new and relevant. Which isn't what happens for me.

For example, I re-asked it your original question and it says this is what developers do:

User input: Developers need to anticipate and handle unexpected or invalid input from users, such as special characters, empty fields, or out-of-range values.

Randomness: Developers may need to incorporate randomness into their programs, such as generating random numbers or shuffling a deck of cards.

Concurrency: Developers may need to handle concurrent access to shared resources, such as preventing race conditions or deadlocks.

Network communication: Developers may need to handle network communication, such as dealing with lost or delayed packets, or handling different types of connections (e.g. HTTP, WebSockets).
Time: Developers may need to handle time-related issues, such as scheduling tasks, handling time zones, or dealing with clock drift.

Human language: Developers may need to handle natural language processing tasks, such as understanding speech, identifying sentiment, or handling different languages.

Image and video processing: Developers may need to handle image and video processing tasks, such as object detection, image recognition, and video compression.

I wouldn't consider a developers job to do video processing tasks, or object detection, not what I expect a developer to handle natural language processing tasks such as identifying sentiment, would you? In fact I couldn't really imagine a more generic attempt at a response to that question?

It's for sure impressive, but I feel the more "creative" I asked it to be (more entropy I inject), the more likely it will come up with incorrect answers; However, I'll concede that "incorrect" answer could be used for some inspirational new ways of thinking about solving problems.

I feel personally, the more I play with these systems, the more predictable they become, and this isn't something "truly creative" would be.

Where I think we're going wrong with AI is we seem to think that it will be a "perfect brain". When really nothing is perfect, especially the data it's being trained on.
I have seen recent predictions that put Python as the main AI language in 2030 with 90% confidence. It's not dead or going away.

Python also works better in Codex and chatGPT, as an output of AI. Almost all AI research comes in Python, most of it never gets reimplemented, and the cutting edge stuff are usually just in Python. So if you want to try the latest toys - you guessed it - you need Python. Or be prepared to wait for 6-12 months/forever to get ported to your lang, and be prepared for bugs and less support

AI is going to be a differentiator for programming languages. The languages with more code out there, more questions answered on SO, will work better, causing more adoption, it's the rich get richer problem.

Get it to write you an MD5 hashing algorithm in Rust. Go ahead, I'll wait. I tried and it genuinely couldn't, I asked it tons of different ways and wasted a ton of time before I had to go do it myself lol.

Here's the thing, though: It doesn't take a genius to know US power infrastructure is vulnerable. We've been saying it ourselves for years. This attack was not complex to execute with fairly minimal, publicly available knowledge. Why probe?

I guess to see how long it takes us to fix, but that just... doesn't seem worth it to me. If I were China, say, would I really be willing to attack the domestic United States just to see what the US would do? Don't I have the resources to know what the US would do without trying it?

It solves real world problems for me on a daily basis; things I hired people for before. There are things like helping with white papers, emails and blog posts. But, to your point, I can give it a little bit of context, let’s say some old Django code we have running in production and ask it to add or change something, and it does, in seconds. Yesterday I had it mostly generate an api with 23 endpoints for a client project in a language & framework I am rusty at (long time ago) for which people on upwork were bidding 1500$ minimal. Took me less than an hour with chatgpt and including docker & docker-compose.

People don’t need to feel threatened; it is simply already replacing all the mundane programming and writing work we used to do; people who can only do that type of mundane work aka crud work (chatgpt can do it in any language or framework), integration, transformation, plumbing etc are already gone.

A lot of our (very well paid) work is taking data, transforming it, sending to some api, get the result, transform it and move to the next step. A few months ago this was just boring human work, now it’s just copy pasting the spec and out it falls. Sure you might need some fixes (as the article says), but not much and it learns (you add new knowledge to the prompt ‘memory’). I have been working with my own custom client on top of chatgpt for months now; it has a lot of custom prompting and effort to make sure it does as well as it can. This I can throw away in a few months when improvements come from their side.
I was wondering why they used the term "sub-terahertz" (isn't basically the entire RF spectrum "sub-terahertz"?), and it seems to refer to the ~75-300ghz range [0][1], including the W and D bands.

While looking into this, I learned that terahertz frequencies are called THF or "tremendously high frequency"[2], which I thought was pretty funny. Pretty used to HF, VHF, UHF etc. but never heard of "THF" until now!

this bit from a diff article made me lol--

'When I wrote 'In Cold Blood' many were critical,' Capote said. 'I spent six years on that book wandering the plains of Kansas and nearly went mad but I saw it through. (Fellow author Norman) Mailer called it 'a failure of the imagination,' and now I see that the only prizes Norman wins are for that very same kind of writing. I'm glad I was of some small service to him.'

great capote interviews are Paris Review 17 and especially controversial Playboy 1968 interview....holy moly

It was never to that extend though; chatgpt can change/augment existing code. Nocode/low code solutions cannot do that (in a meaningful way).
I'm going to take your comment at face value and assume a good faith question. There are a couple arguments for higher federal debt levels. Federal Debt doesn't really matter the way a household's debt matters. The debt to GDP ratio isn't the same as a family's debt ratio because the government can always just print more money to pay down the debt. Will this increase inflation? Very probably but not necessarily. Is higher inflation an absolute bad thing? Also likely but not proven. Modern Monetary Policy would state that you can just increase taxes (in particular on the wealthy) to avoid inflation if you need to.
> I suspect the PRC won't outright bomb much of Taiwan but instead go straight for the presidential palace in Taipei and try to force an ROC capitulation early.

Taiwan is not Somalia. It's a fairly advanced country with a fairly good military (comparing to its size).

> I think they're counting on the ruling class / landowners / capitalists to pressure the government to capitulate at fear of property destruction, which I also expect to be in line with reality. Doing capitalism in a country like taiwan is better than in the PRC, but doing it in the PRC is better than not being able to do it at all because all your assets were obliterated.

China will do worse than Russia. People in Ukraine had reasons to join Russia, ie: their country is very corrupt and poor. I highly doubt the rich and educated Taiwanese will want to join the CPC.

> I don't think any of this will come to pass though because I, like most people in Taiwan (including the usa consulate staff), believe the possibility of invasion is slim.

The possibility is very slim at the moment. Of course, timing matter. In the future, it could go both ways. That will depend on the status of the US, China and Taiwan itself.
Bad article. Its only argument is "iPhones are secured by 6 digit PINs, while a "real" password manager is secured by a strong password".

Guess what? My iPhone is secured by a strong password, and the swaths of people introduced to password management by iCloud keychain wouldn't otherwise use another password manager or a strong password.
I had written more, but my cat decided pounding on the keyboard was a good idea and got lucky with F5.

Anyways, you never asked me "well then, what level"? and I thought I did answer it but here's an answer anyways (to your unasked question): I'd test it to the point that made sense. I wouldn't follow some poorly considered hard and fast rule (morons do that, we're not morons, we are humans with brains and a capacity to exercise judgement in complex situations). A hard and fast 70% code coverage rule is stupid, as is 100%, even a strict 1% rule is stupid (though for other reasons, like that it's trivially achieved with useless tests for almost every program). If I'm writing code and 90% of it is handling error codes from syscalls, then you'll likely end up getting 10% code coverage from tests (of various sorts, not just unit) out of me. I'm not going to mock all those syscalls to force my code to execute those paths, and I'm not going to work out some random incantation that somehow causes fork to fail for this one program or process but also doesn't hose my entire test rig. Especially not when the error handling is "exit with this error code or that error code". If it were more complex (cleanly disconnects from the database, closes out some files) then I'd find a way to exercise it, but not by mocking the whole OS. That's just a waste of time.

To reiterate my take: We have brains, we have the opportunity to use them. Use the appropriate techniques to the situation, and don't waste time doing things like mocking every Linux syscall just because your manager is a moron. Educate them, explain why it would be a waste of time and money and demonstrate other ways to get the desired results they want (in a situation like your example, inspecting the code since it's so short should be fine).
