I think ultimately any truly intelligent entity needs to have agency - to be able to interact with the world and test truth (prediction correctness) for itself.
Without this you're really just an expert system - a bunch of canned data/rules.

The strength of ChatGPT over a GOFAI expert system like Cyc is how broad it's knowledge base is, but the weaknesses are that is doesn't know whether this "knowledge" (being self-deduced from the training set) is true or not, nor does it have any reliable way to combine facts/sources, since those rules are also self-derived and unverified. I'm sure some of this could be mitigated by more human curation (which seems to be the path OpenAI is going down), but then it seems it is just an expert system (maybe this is all people are looking for anyway).
I get what are saying, basically all the MIME types of body is under the grand scheme of server side rendering. Fine.
That's not really an argument for why understanding this is needed to move the field forward.

Even your point rests on an assumption, that there's no proof for Adam convergence, that a high school student could understand, which is just a guess at best.
> It's not supposed to be sealed, it's just supposed to have draft.

It depends on the model. High (>90%) efficiency, condensing furnaces are completely sealed off from the house: they take in air from the outside (via PVC pipe), combust, extract the heat, and exhaust the results (via PVC pipes).

* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBVvnDfW2Xo

Older lower efficiency (<85-90%) furnaces suck in air from the house, exhaust into metal pipes (PVC would melt because not as much heat is extracted from the fumes), can be back-drafted and you have to worry about CO.

Basically: if the furnace has vents in which you can see a pilot light, it's the older style.
I've been using svelte for years and love it.

I've been using sveltekit for years and still struggle with it.

With sveltekit, I'm never really sure when to use prerender. I'm never sure how and where my code will run if I switch to another adapter.

With pure svelte, my most ergonomic way of working is using a database like pocketbase or hasura 100% client side with my JavaScript, so the server is a static web server. It's got real time subscriptions, graphql so my client code resembles the shape of my server side data, and a great authentication story that isn't confusing middleware.

I'm sure SSR is better for performance, but it always seems to require the use of tricky code that never works like I expect it to.

Am I missing something?

For example climate change denial and warmongering. Now the latter part is crucial, power: they partly control the most advanced industrial country in the world (climate change) and the most advanced military (warmongering).

Yeah, this.
1000ppm is very noticeable, true 2000 is unbearable.

Living in a center of a city next to a 10-line highway opening a window drops a properly calibrated sensor into 400s inside a few minutes.
I can tell. I’m thinking there is a lot of individual variance for co2 tolerance. I can feel 800+ ppm and after i have had the sensor a while can tell what the concentration is within 25% or so without looking. I also feel the cognitive effects, and moreso the positive effects of opening a window.

Different places I’ve loved have had significantly different characteristics for what co2 concentration defaults to.

I’m guessing a not so small proportion of mental health issues and things like chronic fatigue are actually breathing issues and sensitivity to higher co2 concentrations.

For me a big factor is I broke my nose long ago and don’t breathe as well as I should.
I think this may be a bit of a HN bubble. I can't imagine most people have a need for a social or philosophical framework for their philanthropic identity.

There is a lot of value in having dedicated people thinking about operational efficiency, cost controls, developer productivity, build correctness, security posture, what technologies to even use...

"DevOps" can be a lot more than configuring AWS or Kubernetes and SRE'n those systems. I don't think it wise to fully absorb it into the development teams, the ops team enables them to do more and has cross team visibility to create opportunities that aren't seen at the team level.

I would expect backend development to experience as much automation as operations. There is a lot more training data for backend compared to operations as well
Yup, told it I was trying to build a search interface on top of a huge Postgres database and wanted ways to speed it up. Told me to check out Elasticsearch, which is promising.
That might be true, but there isn't exactly an "Effective Altruism Foundation" that all the donations funnel through. You basically have a bunch of random people that are donating to charities that are well regarded, with a few philanthropists here and there setting up foundations. You might be able to hijack organizations like givewell (ie. organizations that tell people which charities they should donate to), but trying to monetize that is tricky. At the end of the day you don't really control anything, because you're still reliant on individuals following your advice. So if you try to funnel money to your own foundation (for embezzling purposes), you will easily burn any goodwill that you've built up.
Looking forward to your talk tomorrow :)
I wonder if they haven't updated that in a while, it sounds low. You can get 22TB 3.5" hard drives these days. If I take that storage and figure full racks with rackmount NASes I get 30 feet long for 1 row of full-size racks. 45 feet is longer and they probably have room for at least 2 rows. Even accounting for probably needing some controller computers and routers and network interfaces and such, I would think they could at least double that these days.
Those are simply different problems though. Macro expansion is not even exactly a problem.

For monomorphized code the compiler just needs a mode where it automatically does what the Momo crate does.

For proc macros the Watt crate (precompiled WASM macros) will make a big difference. It just needs official sanction and integration.

Anyway yeah those are totally separate problems to caching and distributed builds.
She brought the meter outside where it measured 480ppm.
Honestly, it should be impossible; in the absence of some weird configuration, cargo test does strictly more work than cargo build. :P Can you reproduce it and file a bug?
> misunderstanding what's being asked or just lacking training data and presenting an answer that's incorrect.

I suppose I just don't think we humans are so different. In fact we often lack training data and certainly lack the ability to iterate quickly. In the case of the modern calculator we have the benefit of all the training data necessary to design the system properly, but at its initial inception not so much. As more "training data" or experience with circuit design and applied mathematics the returned output of the calculator improved.

Maybe my expansion of the analogy is off or too esoteric.
But in a larger apartment or house it could mean that if you occupy one room, like the bedroom, you get air with less CO2 from other rooms. If you have no ventilation on and no airflow, it must be worse.

The outside ppm changes quite a bit in cities. CO2 dome effects can push it 2x higher.

I showed ChatGPT to some non-technical people, and they immediately asked it political-related questions, such as about carbon emissions. (I assume hoping it would affirm their belief.) These things are very nuanced -- even if the response is technically accurate, it can still leave out important items or falsely suggest importance via the specific wording.
I disagree on the two browsers being interchangeable. Chrome supports quite a few Web APIs that Firefox doesn't. For example the lack of support for platform authenticators in WebAuthn.
Just because they’re doing CRUD app puzzles doesn’t mean they’re not engineers. There’s simply much more of that work than actual engineering. And part of engineering is knowing when you do not have to reinvent the wheel.

I recently tried a soup in Korea (옻닭 or oht-tak) made from Toxicodendron vernicifluum before knowing what it was. The people I was with were very insistent that I take a pill to neutralize the allergen (urushiol, found also in poison ivy, is technically an allergen rather than a toxin) before I ate it.

Not everyone reacts to it, but when they do, it's pretty bad. The others I ate with have no reaction to it at all.

I’m not sure how you’re pulling encryption into this argument.

You can be honest or dishonest and it will be encrypted and decrypted all the same.

Your second argument to me doesn’t follow. You are saying what you say and do is more important than what you value, I think, but you are also saying that what you say and do are not important so you can be dishonest.

My conclusion is that you prize winning over being ethical.

Just think of all the other cases where honesty and ethics have been put on the back burner on the basis that you think your thing is more important; a lot of them legal.
You can still have rogue references to deleted objects in such a situation, or invalidated iterators, or plenty of other undefined behaviors even using just modern C++ features.

Either way, I am not surprised that glidesort is a bit slower than fluxsort on older machines. They're less likely to take advantage of the interleaving techniques I use.

> Does panic safety really cost 10-15% when sorting integers according to default comparison?

Yes :(

At least yes, if you don't want to duplicate your entire codebase. Look into the code of glidesort if you want to, all algorithm state has to be encoded inside structs at all times, to allow for recovery in case a comparator panics using the destructor.

This negatively affects the optimizer for reasons I can't fully explain compared to having the state be in simple local variables.
Yes, this bit me just last month. Around October 2022 I purchased 3 Samsung 870 EVO 2TBs for use in a RAID array. By January 2023, all three of them failed within a week of each other!

Fortunately they failed one by one, so I was barely was able to recover my RAID array by pulling out one drive at a time, powering the computer off, and waiting for the RMA replacement to arrive.

But imagine my shock to see one drive fail... only to replace it with an RMA... and then days later, seeing the next drive fail... and the next!
It's actually on the page (far right middle) and it expired in 2015, which is 20 years after filing (plus any extensions due to delays).

Actually, applications before 1996 can be a bit trickier since they (and their children) can be extended for quite a while (that's what some IP firms did in the early 2000s) by delaying their issuance. Patents were originally good for 17 years after issuance (or 20 years from filing if that was longer), whereas now it is only 20 years from filing.
I really appreciated Hillel Wayne's series on this topic [0].

He actually interviewed a number of people who transitioned from a licensed engineering discipline to software, and asked them how they felt about software as an engineering discipline. His insights are a lot more useful than the arguments between only-ever-software people on HN who have inflated perceptions of what "real" engineers do.

The whole series is worth a read, but here's the short version:

> Instead of asking how they felt about certain engineering topics, I just asked them point blank. “Do you consider software engineering actually engineering?”

> Of the 17 crossovers I talked to, 15 said yes.

> That’s not the answer I expected going in. I assumed we weren’t engineers, that we’re actually very far from being engineers. But then again, I was never a “real” engineer. I don’t know what it’s like to be a “real” engineer, and so can’t compare software engineering to other forms. I don’t have the experience. These people did, and they considered software engineering real engineering.

I think so too. Use to work with a lot of CO2 sensors in a previous job and it's very difficult to keep an elevated CO2 level going if there's any exchange of air with the outside.

> The general economic principle that when costs increase, demand decreases isn't magically voided by legislation. Expensive labor leads to fewer jobs and makes it more difficult to absorb young people into the job market.

"Basic supply and demand" is almost always wrong for the labor market. You're a monopsony, they're also your customers, etc. Don't assume the obvious is going to happen without actually looking.
It's a bit weird to me that people get a sensor and then worry about the air. What are the symptoms of elevated CO2 levels? Why can't you feel them and need a monitor to tell you you are unwell?
Interesting perspective, agreed on some of the points.

I'd like to hear some opinions from people who have worked as both "an engineer" and "a software engineer" (maybe OP is such a person, idk) -- what kind of corner-cutting is there in (non-software) engineering fields? Is it at all comparable to tech debt? What kind of compromises in quality/design are made in the service of profit or career advancement? etc.

I think a lot of people end up with an impression that in e.g. civil engineering, everything is perfect and precise and elegant because it has to be (otherwise crumbling infrastructure, accidents, etc.). But understanding that humans in general are always looking to cut corners and be lazy, I wonder how realistic that impression really is... Wouldn't be surprised to hear about comical inefficiencies and poor practices that have become normalized over decades of designing/building physical stuff.
In Sveltekit it's SSR on first load and then client following as the components in that page change, as far as I know. How SSR is done, not where it's done, depends on the adapter. It's always server first unless you specially opt out.

That Brookings article starts with, "Inflation refers to changes over time in the overall level of prices of goods and services throughout the economy." Services includes labor. The Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes the Employment Cost Index (ECI), which may be even more influential on the Federal Reserve Board's interest rate decisions than the Consumer Price Index (CPI).

The general public are consumers, so it's plausible that the "generally accepted" definition of inflation considers mostly the CPI. However, many generally accepted things are incorrect. If we're having a more technical discussion, it's reasonable to use a more technical definition. Perhaps best to be specific, saying "consumer price inflation" and "employment cost inflation" rather than simply "inflation" with no modifiers.

Notice that recent news about inflation has been deceleration of consumer prices. Most importantly, of rent, the largest component of the CPI. If the FRB were only concerned with that, they'd probably not have voted to increase the interest rate on Feb 1st. I'm guessing they had access to unemployment rate numbers from the BLS, which published a surprising job growth report today.

> people fighting for higher wages

My "fight" has been quite easy. I simply ask for it, or go get a different job that pays more. Of course it's not so easy for some people, but over the last couple years I've heard anecdotes from many business owners moaning over their employees' demands. "I just can't find any [qualified people that accept the wage I paid last year]." A friend of mine, an hourly worker, got an 18% raise in January!

The idea one might believe in either supply-side or demand-side causes of inflation and not both is strange to me. First, the primary driver of inflation in the long run is monetary policy. That's not controversial (among economists). Whether to consider price changes due to supply and demand as inflation is trickier, especially because those causes are so difficult to disentangle from monetary causes. Second, in considering short-term price changes due to the balance of supply and demand, they're clearly both important for almost all goods and services.
I have no data on what the general population's stance is.
