ChatGPT sometimes reminds me of a junior programmer.

I asked for a code example of clipping a polygonal shape with another polygonal shape, and it wrote code that just deleted vertices from the subject polygon that were outside the clipping polygon.

Interestingly, the correctness of the code it generated depended on which language I asked for it to generate the code in. I assume that says something about the corpus of code it analyzed and the relative quality between the languages.
It reminds me of the extinction of the passenger pigeon. Not only was it's population hunted to collapse, people went out of their way to make sure they rooted out the last nesting pairs and fully exterminated it.

As to exactly why, who knows? What could a handful of birds have been worth?

It's amazing to me that Mac and Windows don't really feel (from UX standpoint) that much faster or smoother than 10 years ago despite hardware being much more powerful. Computers get faster but software keeps operating on the "edge" by adding more complexity. Linux is nice, but it would be nicer to have a UX focused product that keeps it simple and takes advantage of fast hardware instead of seeing it as an opportunity to load it with more complexity for seemingly no benefit.
Good Pair Days | Senior Software Engineer | REMOTE (AEST +- 3 hours - Australia, South Korea, Vietnam, Singapore, Japan...) | https://www.goodpairdays.com | AUD $140,000 to $190,000 + Stock Options

It's our mission at Good Pair Days to disrupt a powerful and entrenched industry and liberate the world of wine from the aloof, the exclusive, the confusing, and the pretentious. To open up the joy of wine discovery for the novices through to the aficionados, by reimagining what the wine retail experience can be for one of the oldest consumer products on earth.

To give you an idea, one of our first products is something we like to call "Spotify for Wine". We like to think of it as providing monthly wine adventures, customised to each member's unique tastes (powered by ML), delivered to their door. Where they can learn as much (or as little) about their wines each month as they like.

Our stack (not a must): Python/Django, React, React Native, GraphQL, Postgres, AWS.

Nice to have: ML Experience.

You can email me directly ("beto" at our domain name specified above and the subject line as "From Hacker News | Remote | {your country}").

PS 1: Please note, this is a full-time remote position within the AEST +- 3 hours limitation.

PS 2: At least 5 years of work experience.
Not only that, unlike Windows TPM + Secure Boot still requires lots of manual shenanigans on every kernel update (at least on Fedora).
Indeed! If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe.
Because we most likely could use that information to both gain greater insight into how humans learn and most importantly innovate. And also we can strive to create better AI based on the principles discovered.
I was thinking along those lines as well, but:

1. For context, this was the final delivery flight of a 747, ever. It's a pretty momentous occasion.

2. If we're going to criticize something like this, then we probably should be criticizing a lot more about the waste in our own lives. Everyone generates a lot of unnecessary waste, even if we don't think about or consciously acknowledge it.

... this PDF is from 2006, the same year that Java 6 was released. Java 7 and Java 8 were game-changers at their time.

I doubt there is much relevance left, especially in light of Java's excellent functional integration into its type system and JVM.

Edit:
```
There's no reason Java couldn't simply add
first-class functions and finally enter the
grown-up, non-skewed world that allows
people to use verbs as part of their thought
processes
```

Ironically, this is exactly what happened. With exception that proper technological implementation took many years and might have one of the best implementations for anonymous functions out of any programming language (thank you, dynamic JVM).
I mean stuff like bullshitting your way through an english assignment when you're going to study computer science at uni.

You can be fairly confident that understanding the intricacies of Catcher in the Rye won't be important in any compsci paper or dev job, but the writing skills from the bullshitting are still useful.
I don't really see the issue. You are using a service called GhostWrite which uses ChatGPT under the hood. OpenAI/ChatGPT would be considered a sub-processor of GhostWrite. What am I missing?
IMO, a good devrel at a good company is a technical role. I have seen people with such a title move back and forth between DevRel and IC. It's definitely possible.
Cool, interesting bit about how it actually simulated the flight characteristics that I didn't know before:

> To match the descent rate and drag profile of the real Shuttle at 37,000 feet (11,300 m), the main landing gear of the C-11A was lowered (the nose gear stayed retracted due to wind load constraints) and engine thrust was reversed. Its flaps could deflect upwards to decrease lift as well as downwards to increase lift.

I'd disagree, H1B prevailing wages are around $115k/yr now. That plus USCIS backlogs have started pushing WITCH to use the Canada pipeline instead (bring H1B type hires to Toronto, where developer wages are easily 60% of what they are stateside).

That said, companies who want rockstars with foreign citizenships have been heavily using the O-1 route now though. Even YC and VCs have been using it to help facilitate immigrant founders
For athletes its bad form that will limit your ability to reach the top levels of your domain. We then test for the top levels of these domains, like the Olympics or Tour de France.

Well, if I look at "for you", it's showing nothing newer than 11 hours. And it's mostly just this random crap. The chronological feed seems to be working, albeit slowly, though it was just spinning forever earlier (though, it seems... a bit empty; I'm not sure if the people I followed have mostly quit or if it's just broken). The "notifications" section is just showing me a bunch of posts by one account I don't follow. The ads are all for either scammy-looking stuff or, weirdly, lots of small obscure AI startups.

What I'm getting at is, define 'implode'. Does it literally still work? Well, yes, mostly. Is it working at all well? I mean, no, clearly not. Is it the sort of site I can see myself still using, after 15 years of tweeting? No.
If anything I think the average person doesn't realize just how good these new tools are. They think of them as a slightly better Siri until actually giving them a go.
That's equal to the average CO2 emission of one US citizen per year. I don't think this is particularly noteworthy. There is a cost to this celebration, but that doesn't mean it isn't worth doing.

How does this tool differ from release-plz?: https://github.com/marcoIeni/release-plz
I think that's a trivial question which is almost entirely about economics and business culture and says a lot more about the concept of property as a moral right than it does about machine learning.

It's trivial because the real question is "Can AI produce creative work which is at least culturally equivalent - and perhaps even better - than the best human creative work?"

I'm fairly sure the answer to that question is "Yes". Because as soon as you go past modelling content and start modelling psychology, aesthetics, politics, and the dynamics of culture itself, the question answers itself.

With fast-enough processing and a large enough dataset, why wouldn't Behavioural/Political/Cultural AI be possible, perhaps with different AI systems using culture and human affect itself as a memetic battlefield?

Of course then we're very much not in Kansas any more, Toto. The danger - actually the likelihood - is that AI becomes an irresistibly seductive mechanised sociopath, able to automate everything, including politics, culture, and everything else that makes humans human.

But what about ethics, you ask?

How much AI research is asking that question at all, never mind taking it seriously?

"included" is a loaded word here. Nobody is getting your content, unaltered, as ChatGPT responses, and if they are it's a bug that'll get fixed.

Besides, the law is far from resolved on this issue, there are a number of pending cases that would need to be resolved before you could so unambiguously claim such as you are.
Seemed obvious to lots of people who live in reality.

Wikis end up being a poorly generalized dump of poorly structured info combined with an information discovery problem.

What do you want to put in it? How to do things? Runbooks for common problems? Explanations of how systems function? API Documentation?

Why not generalize it and make it discoverable.

If it's a "how to" it should probably be in the repo in a top level directory.

If it's a runbook, why not keep a google doc link next to your alerts?

If it's api documentation, I think there's plenty of software for that.

If nothing else, why not create a data structure in your repo's top level directory that lists persons, teams, or services and documentation associated with them

api_team:
public_docs:
"Public API Doc": "https://..."
"Internal API Doc": "https://..."
important_design_docs:
- "https://..."
- "https://..."
run_book: "https://..."
onboarding_doc: "https://..."
architecture_spec: "https://..."
members:
- jane
- jim
ops_scripts:
- push.py
- rollback.py
- drain_region.py
dashboard: "https://..."

Write a validator so that every team has a link to a runbook...

Why invoke an entire service with a database that needs maintenance, security, and some notion of accounts?

My question for you is: what do you hope to achieve by setting up a wiki? What can a wiki do that nested google docs can't?
I think you’re missing the forest for the trees. Gatsbyjs is as good as dead, but this Valhalla thing has legs, and the Gatsby team (as much of it as they have hired) has deep experience tackling problems around ingesting data from a wide array of sources for efficient web delivery.

Every single fortune 1000 company has the problem Valhalla is trying to solve. Most have painted themselves into a multi-CMS corner and are closer to copy/paste solutions for getting content where it’s needed than the sort of GraphQL approach Gatsby (the company) is advocating.

The marketing-speak here is something like “all your content, no matter where it lives, delivered to your customers, no matter where they are.”

You make it sound bad, but there's nothing inherently wrong with learner outcomes being worthless, or even worse than worthless.

When people learn a new language at a very basic level, they generate dull and simple sentences, and butcher the pronunciation. When they learn martial arts, they kick the air or a punching ball. When they learn to play the violin, they play hellish sounds that can make your ears hurt. But all that is still needed for learning.

Neither of you can confirm the person is the same without violating privacy laws.

I think you're confusing people commenting in context with people's real thoughts. In a way, your question is reductive - reducing the commenters to their comments and ignoring the richness of their real and probably conflicting thoughts.

I know within myself I don't have a completely coherent world view. And I don't feel a need to correct that. When I comment on things it's not always my view, not always thought out, reactive, perhaps insightful in a moment but not long term, or maybe a burst of clarity to my otherwise unclear mind.

Plus you get slices of people commenting on different articles. I didn't comment on that one, but I am on this one. So you're grouping everyone commenting together.
I think what seems the least believable nowadays isn't the technology but the long-term political and cultural cohesion that was necessary to make it happen. JFK said we were going to do something difficult and we actually did.

Unfortunately, the US no longer seems capable of anything on the scale of a moonshot or Manhattan project or even Hoover dam.

Except war, of course.
> It just say boring companies, boring projects, boring tech.

It should be possible to write those up in such a way as to be less boring. But the other reality is that 90% of all the jobs out there appear to be with "boring" companies, have "boring" projects, and use "boring" tech. Companies generally avoid things that are too exciting -- exciting has risky as its partner, and companies prefer to minimize risk.

However, it's also very common that there's really interesting stuff in all that boredom. If I told you what company I work for, the project I was working on, and the tech stack I was using, you'd very likely yawn. But the work is actually very interesting and exciting when you dig into it. When I put this on my resume, I will focus on telling what was interesting about it, because that will also tell what my contribution was.
ChatGPT has a context of 4096 tokens (I believe), the playground last I checked maxes out at 2048. That's a huge difference, especially for stories.
Judge Is Said to Let Meta’s Virtual Reality Deal Move Forward
Thank you! Hyperbolic writing style but well sourced and very interesting. Seems grim indeed.
This feels like a cheap take. Consider any number of small businesses just starting out (a local juice bar, a fitness service, a mobile app, a game...). They have a good product that makes their customers happy. The problem is they only have 5 customers and that won't pay the bills. They could hope that they just get lucky and people just discover them (it happens but its rare), or they can go out and promote their product. So they invest in marketing and sometimes this means buying ads. Can this business exist without targeted ads? Of course it can, but the odds are stacked against them. Saying they can't exist is an exaggeration.
It's frustrating how easily Microsoft is annoying users purely because they have to have every single pixel monetized on Windows. So much user frustration comes down to this. A potentially useful widget feature if it was open to Windows app developers first, is just another avenue to throw MSN News and ads at you, becoming yet another thing to fight your computer about.
You don't ever restart your Linux system even after kernel and driver upgrades? That's the only time I usually have to reboot windows.
It may be true, but I would expect this sort of waste is a drop in the bucket -- drop in the swimming pool, even -- compared to all the waste going on over the rest of the planet during the same time period.

That's not to say we shouldn't avoid waste, but this flight was a pretty momentous occasion (final delivery flight of a 747), and I think it's appropriate to mark that occasion in some unique manner. Burning a bunch of extra jet fuel doesn't seem all that inappropriate, especially considering the total amount of jet fuel burned in a given day.

There's just really no need for such buzzkillery.
It had, someone bought the name and relaunched it.
I'm sorry, but I don't get this comment. Go is a great programming language! It is great because it is easy to write, read and maintain programs written in Go. This is because of the following features:

- Simple syntax

- Fast compile times

- Great tooling (go fmt, go vet, go too pprof, go tool cover, race detector, ect.)

- Useful standard library

Generics do not improve any of these features :( They complicate syntax, they slow down compile times and they complicate internals of go compiler and tools.
> Why would you do anything more than the absolute minimum?

For personal satisfaction? You are going to be there anyway, you might as well do a good job.

I’m not saying to put in more hours than contracted, but those hours should be high quality (or as high as you can make them, under the circumstances).
