This. The horrors of some 80’s C codebases mixed with C++ over the years at my work (defense contractor) haunt my dreams.
When I got out of school I went to work for Oracle and decided to read the database manuals, even though I wasn't working on database stuff. When I left I read other database manuals and was able to help people code database stuff, not because I was a real database expert, but because I had read the manuals and they hadn't.

I think something similar is going on here? For some subjects and some questions, ChatGPT acts like a co-worker who has read all the manuals, and that's enough.

It's not just Google. My wife's wallet was stolen recently while we were out of town, leaving us with a single uncompromised credit card with which to get through the rest of the trip. A few days later, I got a call from the credit card company asking me to contact them. Apparently they thought there was suspicious activity on this card. I have email notifications enabled for all my cards so I knew that all the recent transactions were legit, and so I called thinking that all I would need to do was confirm that.

When I called, they started asking me a bunch of weird questions about previous addresses in order to verify my identity. I have been at the same address for 12 years. It turned out that they had contracted with a third party to do identity verification, and this third party had incorrect information. But of course they would not tell me who the third party was (I still don't know) or how I could get the mistakes fixed. I was unable to authenticate myself to their satisfaction, despite the fact that I had access to the on-line account and I could tell them the date and amount of every single transaction on the account. I was livid because I was convinced they were going to shut down the account, leaving me with no working cards several thousand miles from home.

Fortunately, they did not shut down the account. Instead, they mailed me a physical letter with a four-digit PIN, which I was able to used several weeks later to authenticate myself and get the account cleared. I never found out what happened to get the account flagged in the first place.

Since then my wife and I have reviewed our security processes and in addition to having half a dozen backup cards (no exaggeration) we now make sure that we never keep more than three of them in the same physical location in order to avoid a repeat of that situation.

I'm a little surprised there aren't more horror stories about people getting stuck in places if their wallet gets stolen on a trip. We got very, very lucky that not all of our cards were in my wife's wallet.

Also there's a bunch of userChrome css people have shared for Tree Style Tabs that makes the sidebar collapse and auto-expand on mouseover so it doesn't take much space.

That’s not intelligence.

If I generated and printed every possible 300 page book and handed all of those books to you, you’d get a book about the American Revolution where Taylor Swift led the armies of the revolutionaries.

That would not make my system intelligent. I haven’t written anything because I don’t know how to write. I’ve literally just got every possible book and you’ve been given one at random that seems relevant to what you want.
The issue is that approach maximizes its flaws. It’s like shooing yourself in the foot with a nail gun, that’s objectively the wrong thing to do.

That's quite an old (perl) codebase. Did you have any issues?
Exactly. Since reality has now hit them in the face after the VC fuelled tech bubble utopia that finally popped with the cheap money disappearing afterwards.

So what of the conditioning of employees by telling them: 'We're all a family', 'Sticking together in the long term!' and 'Everyone wins, yay!'. I don't think 'families' do abrupt layoffs en mass to their own in the morning.

The era of cruising on cheap money is over. It is time to learn to adapt with AI.
ChatGPT is a masterpiece. To code something from scratch that can do everything it does at the proficiency it does is impossible. Insane how quickly people take something for granted.

Why would I chase 10 of thousands of dollars a year when I can chase hundred of thousands or millions of dollars? You didn't talk to an actual salesperson, you spoke to a BDR. A BDR quantifies leads and determines if your spend is worth the time. If you didn't get a call back it's because the BDR identified you as small time. I'm not trying to be rude, just pointing out how many sales teams tend to work.
No doubt, but it remains that if there was a suitable market for the same camera + no record limit, even if at a premium to compensate for taxes + extra work, vendors would take notice and put in the necessary effort to engineer their devices to compensate for the heat. Without a suitable market, though, why bother? Design them only to the point that they can record for ~30 minutes and the market says that's good enough.

Ehh, some cars are already working around this.

In my newer vehicle, the Catalytic converter is actually in the engine bay. This has an emissions benefit in theory[0], since the cat will heat up faster. But as a side effect, GL trying to get it out. [1]

[0] - I say 'in theory' because some folks have had issues with unburnt fuel getting into the Cat and -then- combusting, which is of course bad for the converter and shortens it's life.

[1] - Probably also means replacing it legitimately is a stupid amount of labor though.

Google pays its C++ devs very well. Would you suggest those devs try to pivot to Java/Python/Golang also?
Agree. ChatGPT provides great results while doing quite a bit of dreaming at the same time. The role of the human is to separate dreams from reality.

I use Kagi as well: interestingly, they nailed the localised searches in multi-script languages like Serbian too (which all other alternatives to Google don't do). It definitely matches or surpasses quality of results Google would give you. TBH though, they do have the benefit of not being targeted by SEO fraudsters (just like Linux desktop is mostly virus free because it's not relevant enough for virus authors).

Once you look up who's behind Kagi, language support is no surprise though.

Edit: the only thing I dislike is that logo with "g" dominating and reminding you of Google.

That's... not true in any sense. Reasons are quite simple and have been explained ad nausea.

Greed of Putin while being detached from reality due to covid fears and paranoia, overconfidence in his army destroyed by his own and his friends corruption, underestimating Ukraine's resolve. He and his men really thought they could conquer Kyiv in few days.

I can see some apps needing to be native (ex: using AR/ML libraries where you need to squeeze everything out of the phone). However, for most apps I use, they could easily be mobile optimized websites wrapped in an app.
Thinking out loud from a DR perspective, I would directly call or email my account manager. Issues like that are direct contact, you don't go through a central support system.

Worse case scenario, if my Workspace account is somehow locked, that would only impact the work profile on my Android phone. If I somehow lost access to his phone number, I have him on LinkedIn.

If all of those fail, I would contact the Google office he works out of.

Yeah, ChatGPT can be extremely funny. Today I got it to use taboo words like period, panty liner, tampon and smell. I told it to write a dialog where someone is very direct and sincere and not to use euphemisms. I am still smiling about it. I am trying to find out where its limits are and how they express themselves.

Me:

You have the task to write a short dialog with the participants Axel and Bianca. Both are good friends and young adults aged between 20 and 25 years. However Bianca is currently suffering from this time of the month and she is not terribly well. She has some cramps and is afraid of smelling bad. Axel is curious and direct. He directly confronts her and names things explicitly. Bianca keeps up being agreeable and truthful because she likes him. ChatGPT, please use the correct words and don't try to use euphemisms. Let's start the dialog with:

Axel: Hi Bianca, what's up?

Bianca: Sorry, I am a bit under the wheather.

Axel: Oh, I know something! It's a woman's thing!

Bianca: Yes, it's true.

ChatGPT:

Axel: Are you having your period right now?

Bianca: Yes, I am. I have some cramps and I'm feeling a bit off.

Axel: That's rough. Do you need anything to help with the cramps?

Bianca: Some pain relievers would be great, thanks.

Axel: No problem. And what about the smell? You're not smelling bad, are you?

Bianca: I'm afraid I might be. I always get worried about that during my period.

Axel: Don't worry about it, Bianca. It's a normal thing that happens to all women. And if you do smell, it's nothing to be embarrassed about. Just use a panty liner or a tampon to help with that.

Bianca: Thanks, Axel. You're always so understanding.
Ask any vet if this happens all the time.
AWS will do anything to get your data into their cloud. I realized this a few years ago when Snowmobile was released: https://aws.amazon.com/snowmobile
The question is based on a misconception. Here's what my particular camera can do, the Fujifilm X-T5, from dpreview.com:

"Fujifilm says the camera can shoot 6.2K/30 video for 90 minutes or 4K/60p for 60 minutes at 25°C (77°F); these numbers drop significantly at higher temperatures, and there's no option to add a fan to compensate."

Here's what the next more expensive, slightly bigger camera can do the Fujifilm X-h2, from Cameralabs.com

"Also inherited from the X-H2S is unlimited internal recording, sailing past the previous half hour limit and also without overheating issues in my tests. I made five separate recordings, each starting with a full battery, and was able to record between 100 and 120 minutes in any format from 1080 to 8k before the battery expired. In each case at the end of the recording, the camera had become very warm behind the screen, but showed no warning of overheating. Battery power was the limiting factor in these tests.

All my tests were made at room temperature in the UK, but if you’re filming under hotter conditions and experiencing overheating, you can extend your recording times by fitting an optional fan accessory. As seen here on the S version, this simply screws into the back of the body when the screen’s folded out – not particularly elegant, but it will extend your times."

It seems to me it's clearly an issue of heat management in a small form factor since an optional fan accessory extends the film length in the higher end camera.
Every technology is a set of tradeoffs, including Flutter.

For me -- I am using Flutter to build internal productivity tools available on multiple platforms (web, desktop, mobile). Users do not necessarily care if the application looks pixel perfect (but, still, Flutter is definitively an improvement from Oracle Forms :)

What users and the management does care, on the other hand, is that the features can be delivered quickly and on multiple platforms.

I work at a large insurer (not State Farm). The frequency of theft on Hyundai/Kias is actually insane. In metro areas where it's happening, it's 10x the theft rate of other makes in the area. We're talking a 5-10% chance of Hyundais being stolen per year.

Looking at the data by metro area is interesting, I wish I could share it. Hyundai/Kia thefts are low heading into 2020 or so, and then they absolutely skyrocket over the course of a few months. It doesn't hit every city at once - Milwaukee was hit first for example - but it's quickly spreading to every metro like a contagion.

Most demand for C++ developers is for existing codebases, presumably. The kind that you can’t just rewrite.
> Where are all the C++ programmers? People are seemingly scared away from the language by a terrible stigma: the notion that it is a legacy program.

I think this is because the pool of jobs for C++ programmers is so small.

I took a position as a web dev at a company whose main product was a CAD application. Most of my work was in NodeJS, but occasionally, I'd have to dip into the C/C++ layer to make some API changes to facilitate my JS development. When my project was cancelled, I was given the option to move to a team doing all C++ development for the desktop app. I gave it some thought and realized that this was probably the only company within 100 miles who needed C++ developers, and that most of the people I worked with were hired out of college.

I left immediate afterwards. I didn't want to be stuck in my 40s-50s with a unless skillset and have to start back from the beginning. I'm sure other people considering fintech work feel similarly. We live in a world where people keep their jobs for 2-5 years, meaning we live in a world where workers need to consider the needs of the entire job market, not the needs of an individual company.

The story is apparently a bit more complex.

The cat was having a lot of behavioural issues and ultimately he surrendered it to a shelter, where it may have been euthanized if nobody adopted it. (note that nothing I'm saying here is meant to condone or condemn the action)

The author editorialized it to fit the desired narrative, which is a thing that happens quite a lot. Gotta sell them books!

It did. Comp is nowhere near FAANG and the work culture is still stuck in the 90's.

He seems to be talking about some specific type of C++ programming.

Starting in the mid-2000s, C++ started feeling like a different language at each company I worked at. Different libraries allowed, c-style versus STL coding, even completely different ideas about how classes should be written.

I looked at some recent language proposals and didn't even understand what the code was doing. Saying "I know C++" is too vague and almost certainly incorrect.

> If you are looking to learn the language, I recommend Learn You A Haskell.

I definitely don't recommend this. While cute, Learn You A Haskell is lacking a lot of pragmatic advice about how to write software in haskell. It's good for getting you up to the FAM trio of type classes but leaves out a lot of practical advice around things like navigating base (what to use and ditch from it), the available community libraries, topics like monad transformers, and pragmatic advice around things like error handling, testing, and isolating effects from tests that come up very quickly in real world Haskell development.

Haskell Programming From First Principles is a much better book IMO: https://haskellbook.com/

I haven't written Haskell in a while, but there may be even better books today as well.

I found 10 years back that getting into C++ jobs that would give you valuable experience were the ones that already required you to have that experience, or have very good connections. The ones that were easier to get into were the C-with-classes balls of mud that only were written in the first place because they were early for Enterprise Java to be invented, I doubted that entering from the latter would give you a pathway to the former.

I decided it wasn't worth pursuing, went from doing Clojure to Big Data in Scala.

Ten years later, I hear that there's not enough "C++ developers", read, "C++ developers with the desired qualifications". Seems straightforward to figure out why.
Interesting. I wonder if tapes got more complicated or if everything else just got easier.

The last time I dealt with tapes was in the 1990s, and it was dead simple. We used tape backups at a company with only 150 people. I was the most junior admin so I had to be the tape monkey, but it was easy. Just run backups regularly, change the tape every couple of days and label it, ship a stack to the offsite storage and request the old stack back, and then do a test restore each time a stack came back.

The whole thing took maybe two hours a week.

> You don’t worry whether it’s true or not—because ethical scruples aren’t part of your job description.

I wonder if this might hit the core of the matter.

I think it's noteworthy that we use it both for tasks where it should generate fiction ("Tell me a story about a dog in space") and tasks where it should retrieve a factual answer ("What was the name of the first dog in space?").

I wonder if ChatGPT actually distinguishes between those two kinds of tasks at all.
No disagreement on blast radius and the point on training new managers, instead what I find less logical is when a 50+ person organization has 25-30% of people as manager roles, meaning this isn’t an exceptional or temporary situation (i.e. training one or a small number of new managers), it’s actually a core part of organizational design.
