I've been saying this since the beginning. ChatGPT is amazing because it gives you the exact answer you want it to. It's also sort of useless after a while, because it produces the same exact predictable results every time.

E.g. if you ask for marketing advice, it gives you the same basic bullet points as the first 1000 Google search results would. Which in turn are the chapter titles of every marketing book ever written.

If you ask it to write code, it'll give you stackexchange-esque boilerplate that you'll need to edit anyway. What it does is obviously impressive, but the problem with software design never was recreating what has been done a million times before. The problem is finding new creative ways to solve real-life problems.

The same happens if you ask it to write a song. You keep getting the most cliche-/trope-ridden lyrics you could ever imagine. Even if you ask it to go crazy and think outside of the box, it just never does, or does it in strangely predictable ways.
one benefit of online is privacy. I've talked to many people that really don't like having a physical journal laying around with personal information that a partner might read. But yeah, I get there are workaround to that problem and not everyone has this kind of privacy issue
It needs to die inside first. There’s been hope with Pat but the results are here and it’s just more of the same. The purge is needed and looks like it’s finally coming, at least 5 years too late, but look at where AMD has been before. It’s a high risk high reward mun or bust play.
This is somewhat situational. I live downtown, but my employer (fortunately I am remote) built their office complex miles outside of town, surrounded by approximately nothing.
That's not really the right analogy. It's more like Tesla bought a new factory for $1.5 billion, realized they couldn't use it, and sold it back for $1.36 billion.
I’m not sure about mining, but in dredging it’s used to measure the density of the slurry in a pipe. It’s possibly something similar in mining.
wasn't even Boeing's X-32 superior at the time of the JSF competition? I seem to recall that the biggest "flaw" was that it looked really ugly.
This is overly expository and could be much shorter. It also shows the programmer had no interested in actually understanding what their code was doing. The comment makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. "It needs the 4th time". What needs it? I absolutely guarantee you you do not need to loop 4 times to "calculate the difference from the sales tax". "Weird, I know" -- I guarantee you it's not weird if you actually understand anything about the calculation you're supposed to be implementing. This comment barely passes as an English sentence, much less someone who knows anything about taxes would ever say. This is such a great example of an absolutely terrible comment belying lazy, thoughtless programming.

I'm not sure I've seen all the "comment everything" advocates in this thread provide a single example of a good comment.
> It was believed the capsule fell through the gap left by a bolt hole, after the bolt was dislodged when a container collapsed as a result of vibrations during the trip.

You would imagine someone have thought of this failure mode
In the late 1990s/early 2000s, I used TWM because it was light weight, and easily customizable to have 1 px borders on windows (and no bar at the top) to maximize my screen real estate. Java Swing and TWM interacted poorly, so when LimeWire started up, the window would shrink to 3 px by 3 px. Luckily, the redraw was just slow enough that if I paid attention, it didn't take very long to find the tiny window and drag it back to a reasonable size.
It is said that in many cities in China the governments actually did something similar. They broke parts of the roads repeatedly so that they could rebuild them later.

We've been messing with a Vercel deployment so you might've seen that :)

It's not quite battle tested, but think I gotta sleep and take a look at it tomorrow.

I did this last week. I asked ChatGPT to write a short article, and then used Eleven’s “Josh” voice to read it.

I had to adjust the punctuation to get it to sound more natural, but it was surprisingly good. Way better than the AI voices I hear on YouTube videos.

Comment review is as important as code review.
You are correct, 6+5 is equal to 12. My apologies for the mistake
Of all the things you picked the least relevant one. Intel without GPUs is dead. Gone. Zero. A foundry at best, with a decade to be top tier again. Intel without RISC is… fine? The instruction set doesn’t matter, the underlying hardware doesn’t execute it anyway, it runs microcode.
Registers aren't free; of course turning on frame pointer elision is going to give you a few extra percentage points of performance. The problem is that it will interfere with your performance team's ability to further profile the program and triage crashes, which is very, very likely going to be worse in the long run than the savings you get from this particular optimization. On register-starved environments like x86 (like the one you linked) it's somewhat forgivable but on any modern platform it's a bad tradeoff 99.9% of the time.
In case anyone knows, what's the defensible moat here?

I can get almost the same quality using open source models. Plus I can fine-tune them to get custom voices. That means any company who needs TTS is cheaper off paying me once to build them a customized open source solution instead of forever paying this company per minute.
You know, that's a very good point. These arguments never bring up what's being built, what's the cost of things going wrong, etc. If you're running a Very Serious service with well-defined SLAs with a bunch of formal definitions and a suspicious number of 9s, your risk tolerance is entirely different from a startup with six highly caffeinated people who have naught but a dream and a three month financial runway before they're all out of a job. If devs from those two teams describe their release process to each other and don't mention what they do, they'll each probably conclude that the other is insane. One will vomit upon hearing the other describe a multi-week deployment scheme, and the other will vomit upon hearing the phrase "test in prod" said non-ironically.
Think they should have either really stuck it out with Itanium, put more effort into compiler/tooling development or kept up with Xscale.
He is the one trying to test his stuff though, hence the question.
If this had been found by the wrong people, what kind of nefarious uses could it have had?
In that case I have to recuse myself because of the hairy balls thing.

Education trying to fight ChatGPT have it backwards. Teaching methodology needs to be changed. A very simple example that will be all academia is to assign students topics related to the degree. They are required to research specific topics and learn. Tests are taken offline, or with legal RATS like hubstaff + webcam, and the students are required to write a summary or answer specific questions on the topic. Professors can provide prompts to students or if they are interested they can do their own. Mark that down.
Yeah, replacing "in" with "atomic number 49" probably will set off some other alarms. This has the "contemporary york instances" problem up the wall.

One interesting thing is that due to the prevalence of SEO spam and the difficulty of filtering it out without casualties, GPT speaks synonym-spun garbage like a native. If you start off with some sentence characteristic of synonym spun articles (like the aforementioned "contemporary york instances", a synonym-spun variant of "New York Times"), it will happily generate an endless stream of it.
> F-15C/D/E/EX and F/A-18C/D/E/F are better at air superiority

It's like you give zero credit for either stealth or that fancy radar, which are pretty important in a modern air superiority role.
> This, funny enough, is all you needed to say to completely delineate your entire political view.

I'm intrigued as to your reasoning when I was simply giving an a comparative example to a semi-auto 7.62mm - fun to play with, but unnecessary. If I ever need the ability to fire multiple .308 rounds at a deer, I have failed to stalk my prey properly, or failed to sight my shot correctly.

Anyway, have you ever tried keeping the crosshairs on the target with a semi-auto 7.62mm? Unless you've whacked a rather heavy suppressor (ironically enough, legal in my country, unlike the USA) on the end, recoil is going to make accurate semi-auto shooting impossible.

But, please do expand on how a Lego star destroyer totally explains everything about my political views, I'm genuinely curious how you could infer everything about me from that statement.

> Fallacy, making guns harder to acquire does not stop crime.

I never said that it "stopped crime", and I'm not sure how you parsed that from what I said.

> they are literally surrounded on all sides by water and their only natural enemies are themselves.

Oh, cool, yeah, the whole "if we banned assault rifles, they'd just come from Mexico" thing, when in reality, Mexican criminals get their assault rifles from the US. Weird, that.

> when we talk about guns the only solution is to ban them with prejudice?

Did I say that? Please quote me saying "ban all the guns". I own firearms myself, albeit for hunting as my country does not have a culture of owning guns to shoot other citizens. But admittedly, that does require having a Police force that people trust to protect them.

So I'm always very clear to state in these discussions that I don't think that "just ban all the guns, duh" would solve anything in the US, because the desire to own firearms for self-defence is merely the high level symptom of a very complex systematic problem.

> The right to bear arms, which when properly executed protects the mosque and the night club.

Ah, the ol "good guy with a gun" theory. Doesn't seem to be working super-well though, does it.

> But yeah, use a false dichotomy to further dig yourself deeper into a hole you'll never surface from.

I'm very happy digging further into the hole I currently reside in where my children don't have to practice active shooter drills at school.
If you have the latitude to architect things well it can work. Sadly, almost nobody does :(
MBAs and bean counters ran this company into the ground in the first place. I’m sure the chain of decisions makes perfect sense given circumstances, but there was no vision to actually do anything seriously other than keep printing money. Lo and behold risk happens slowly then all at once.
It's fairly normal for large companies with large amounts of cash to invest it.
Who cares about economy? It is to serve us, not the other way around. Economy is just the motion of money and debts.
I'm guessing that even though tho capsule is tiny, its radiation signature could be detected from quite a distance using a Geiger counter.
The timing coincides with all the "big tech" layoffs.

Is this also a way to reduce headcount, but without the cost of severance packages?
> tiny company’s pet project

It’s a stock market listed billion dollar company with 2000 employees. I would not call that tiny.
For my master thesis, 15 years ago, I was working with motes (the component of wireless sensor network) to create a new authentication algorithm and we use Contiki and TinyOS (https://github.com/tinyos/tinyos-main). I am glad to hear that Contiki it's still alive, it was more complex than TinyOS, but also more features rich.
We keep saying missiles are great and dogfighting is over, and we keep being proven wrong.

Mind you, eventually this will be correct... just it's been declared prematurely for 60 years and so this still may not be the correct moment to say so.

> The F-35 pilot just needs to point their head towards the enemy to lock on.

Missile performance won't be equal in this case; if the enemy can launch missiles with higher pkill, well..
Also you could opt out of having your details in the book.
It comes off as very misplaced to categorize the app, by itself, as predatory and appalling. These are adult men and women. Why would it be such a surprise for intelligent young men in college to create an app to better determine the ratio of males to females in a class? This has long been done, by both sexes, way before convenient apps.

I'm sensing there would be no disdain or accusations of predatory behavior, if a female student created an app or openly expressed her intentions for picking classes where she is more likely to find dates and marriage prospects among the opposite sex or even the same sex.

I'm almost quite sure, the same appalled people, would have no reaction or even state this as acceptable or categorize her as being smart. It seems that if male heterosexual students, are doing something that would circumvent their supposed ranking based on innate attractiveness or better their odds in any artificial way, then it's something to be villainized and criminalized.
There are yet to exist, but I bet in a dogfight with AI armed drones, which don't have a human to suffer from G impact on crazier manouvers, it might end in another way.

For example, lets see what Bayraktar MIUS will be doing.
Bang on - it's for density.

You'll also see radioactive sources in household smoke alarms on a smaller scale to estimate smoke load in air, and in mineral exploration in downhole detectors mapping density of surrounding materials, in oil and gas measuring the density profiles of fluids as they flow past, etc.

Flashlights are visible light spectrum sources, gamma emitters are similar in function ( Cs-137 emits a 32 KeV x-ray peak and the 662 keV gamma peak ) as they "shine" through materials opaque in the visible spectrum and can be measured after for absorption.
Same here. The sound quality difference is kind of astonishing. I wasn't expecting there to be any difference, but it's so noticable that one must wonder what Spotify is doing to "round out" their sound so much.
Azure is so far ahead on neural voices it's not even funny.

If you can't organize your code into sections and chapters using the constructs provided by your programming language, for everyone's sake, get a better programming language. If you're not allowed to, get a better job. If you can't right now, then go ahead and use comments for that purpose, but I pity you.
If he did the right thing he’d have to take an 80% TC cut instead of 25%… stock needs to fall at least 50% from here of dividends are gone.
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to respond, especially given I hadn’t made it clear as toward whom my ire was directed.

Unfortunately, because Putin has gone all-in with this war, he has backed himself into a corner. There is no off-ramp that he can now take to save face. I think the hesitance of the western powers in arming Ukraine has been an attempt to provide Putin with off-ramps and minimise both civilian and military casualties on both sides. They have slowly begun to realise that Putin has no interest in diplomacy, which is why they have stepped up arms shipments.

The way this ends is in russian military defeat. That might not happen before they lose about half a million soldiers though, and we’re about 20% of the way there. It might also end sooner if the Ukrainians are able to expel all russian forces from all of Ukrainian territory, and then build sufficient defences so that further border skirmishes are futile. The Ukrainians need a whole load of equipment for that though.
On balance a rather successful one apparently.
Perhaps, but you don’t write about lisp the way you write about pg. The enthusiasm is infectious.

If you met yourself at 10 and wanted to transmit some advice about what you need to do to feel free, what would you say? (I’m curious if you’ve made progress towards answering the question, or if it’s as elusive as it sounds.)
Ask HN: Did the tech industry jump too quickly?
With the latest forecast of the IMF, there will be decrease in inflation and increase in growth. So did the tech industry perform premature "optimisation" :)
The A-10 is obsolete. Its airframe literally can’t hold the power systems required to support modern defensive and offensive capabilities. It would get wrecked against any modern air defense environment. It was designed for the threat environment from half a century ago with no upgrade path.

F-15 and F-18 are not better at air superiority. The latest flavor of F-15 can still hold its own against other 4th gen aircraft but it will struggle against 5th gen aircraft. This has been demonstrated many times.

The F-35 can carry much more weapons payload than any of the 4th gen aircraft you mention and has more range. That on its own is a huge win, stealth and sensors notwithstanding.

You don’t seem to understand the criteria against which military aircraft are judged.
few-shot learning for neural voices is over 3 years old now?
The F-35 massively outperforms any 4th gen at Red Flag in air-to-air. F-15E and A10 have advantages in ground support vs enemies without proper anti-air defense, but the F-35 has massive advantages against enemies with serious air defences, such as S300 and S400. (Just look at how both Russian and Ukrainian air forces have to stay at low altituteds and stick to friendly air space in the Ukraine war).

The only nation that is a realistic threat to Finland, is Russia, and against Russia, the F-35 is a near-perfect aircraft.

By having F35, Finland also has much improved capabilities to interoperate with Nato nations. If the US needs to reinforce Finland's air bases, US planes can be serviced locally. Or if Finland is being overwhelmed, their fighters can fall back to Norway, Denmark or Germany.

Apart from operating costs, there are very few disadvantages to the F-35.
Reportedly it's not just the CEO...

- No merit salary increases or promotions
- No more quarterly bonuses
- No more employee recognition programs (e.g. no more $25 gift card for working at Intel for 5 years)
- 401k match drops from 5% to 2.5%

and probably worst of all, 5% salary reduction for grades 7-11.

But at least they didn't cut the dividend! What a horrible nightmare that would have been...

Glad I'm no longer working for Intel.
The SU-57 would give an F-22 a real run for its money. But there’s only a handful of them.

You could also look at it as "Tesla's investments devalued 1/3rd as much as everyone else's, outperforming the majority of the competition"

Listen to me, I hate Tesla and I hate Elon even more, but being disingenuous isn't going to improve things. Everyone had a bad time during covid. If you wanna make fun of him, why not talk about the Model Y steering wheel's ability to simply fall off while driving? It's pretty hilarious.
Radiation-poison people? There's not enough material, even if it was Uranium or Plutonium to make any sort of bomb IIRC, you need kilos for that not, (micro)grams.
The obvious next question being, what's the difference between ML and data analysis from the perspective of the survey participants (is ML a strict subset)? Given the values don't add up to 100%, there's likely lots of overlap and so you could easily have web developers choosing Python for the ML ecosystem.
That's why Linux has the ORC unwinder. It is fast and reliable, in contrast to frame pointer unwinding.
Intel has more software engineers than hardware engineers. Turns out there’s shit ton of drivers, firmware and validation tools to write and maintain.
Except that there are often different tax rates between capital gains and dividends. Even if there weren't tax rate differences, reinvesting dividends effectively compounds the tax rate annually, whereas the capital gains tax is a simple rate the year you realize the gain.

Though, in a tax-free retirement account, it's moot.

Probably not that relevant for a data team, but this is what we do as a backend team:

We use Microsoft SQL's docker image and spin it up in the background on our laptop/CI server so port 1433 has a database.

Then we have our homegrown migration file runner that will compute a hash of the migrations, make a database template_a5757f7e, and run the hundreds of migrations on it, whenever we add a new SQL migration (todo: make one template build on the previous).

Then we use the BACKUP command to dump the db to disk (within the docker image)

Finally, each test function is able to make a new database and restore that backup from file in less than a second. Populate with some relevant test data, run code, inspect results, drop database.

So our test suite uses hundreds of fresh databases and it still runs in a reasonable time.

(And..our test suite is written in Go, with a lot of embedded SQL strings, even if a lot of our business logic is in SQL)
They had a cloud business too are one point - might have gotten rid of it around 2008?
As a Finn, I trust that the procurement organization made the correct choice, and from what I can gather as a lay person the F-35 seems like a significantly more capable platform.

However, the Gripen is certainly a very interesting aircraft, like you say, designed to be operated from makeshift airstrips and maintained by conscripts. It's also amazing how a small country like Sweden with a fairly limited budget has managed to create a competitive fighter. Though the engine and many of the weapons systems are US or European, but still. I'd like to think that if F-35 weren't available, Gripen would have been a very strong, if not the strongest, contender.
My belief is that Musk’s primary motivation for buying Twitter is that during 2021 he saw how unreasonably effective the platform is for promoting crypto to retail, and he wanted to be the one who both decides which crypto goes up and also gets a cut on all the crypto cash inflows.

That’s why he talks about payments and a “super app”. It’s a dream of a crypto pump tax built into the promotional platform itself.
This looks like a solution looking for a problem, like many others regarding the use of WebAssembly outside of the browser.
Used sparingly comments can be very good. One should comment non-obvious things or gotchas. Where it goes completely of the rails is when programmers are forced to write comments in mandated places. One ends up with a code base where half of the code consists of comments that point out the absolute obvious.

DatabaseConnection connnection; // Connection to the database.

// Write a log line when the system is intialized
logger.info("The system was initialized successfully.");

When I see such comments I am severely tempted to conclude that if one is going to have a policy on comments forbidding them would do less harm then mandating them everywhere.
Dogfighting has been over for advanced militaries for a couple decades now. It isn’t the 1970s. The BVR kill probabilities are approaching unity.
