College decade ago, your perception of her 5 years ago.

Dont get me wrong, you may be right, but those above are not reliable

like... you can change your whole life within 5 years, wow.

>If colleges don't matter, I'm not sure why so many successful companies paid attention during their starts. Its a pretty good metric to estimate intelligence, not knowledge IMO.

my personal opinion is that anything below top e.g top3 is more or less similar mess. I know grads across various topX levels and it never felt like a school was important factor. Top people are top

>She was a scrum master for 3 years at another company. One day I asked her what the term scrum stood for? I wasn't in the field at all so I had no idea. But it was an obvious question IMO. She didn't know. Next day I looked it up and learned it's just a rugby term. It came up a month later, and she still didn't know. I cared enough to look it up. She didn't. And it's her job. Now she's at Google. If you think that's not a bad sign, you might work at Google too.

Haha, actually not getting familiar with scrum seems like a good choice :) devs hate it with passion
Snapchat. Now on the Web
Also, ChatGPT isn't smart. It is very good at stringing words together, a facility which, when over-developed in humans, is not generally termed "smart". We reserve that sort of term for the capacity to reason, something ChatGPT has absolutely no capability for.
I'm doing OSPF over Wireguard (running BIRD on Debian, not OpenBSD though.) It works pretty well.

How does having the option to listen to podcasts on Spotify negatively impact my music listening experience?
After some time you just get used to it and its limitations, so you know what it's reasonable to ask for. In general I use it as a tool for creative writing, code formatting and easy snippets, writing emails and summarizing texts.I lazily copy-pasted my linkedin profile page to it and it wrote a nice bio, which I corrected a bit, but it was time saved nevertheless.
I don't ask many specific questions because then I'd have to fact check a lot, like you said.
"Browser not supported

Snapchat for Web only supports the latest version of Chrome and Edge on computers (not phones or tablets) at this time."
Type systems do not replace testing, and if a test works after retrying it then it is probably not something that a type system would be able to catch.
You’re not using it right. LLM fundamentally don’t know s*t about this company’s exec team. Maybe some names are statistically close to the company name in vector-space but no guarantee (as you discovered).

The LLM won’t revolutionize search as it is today for factual queries. They’re Clippy 2.0. It’s great people are finding use for the models, but I wish this search story would be balanced out a bit.

I was laid off recently, and I’m using the LLM to write a bunch of cover letters. I give it my resume, a blurb about the company and job and a bit about what I like about work, and it outputs a cover letter. I don’t like writing BS cover letters where I pretend I majored in the company mission and my whole life has been teaching me their values. GPT can do that for me though- and yes I fact check but I’m fact checking against my resume and personal opinions which I obviously know quite well.
Yup, this has been my experience too. It's absolutely amazing how terrible the results have gotten for the majority of my queries.
Yes nameplate power output of solar power plant. How much actual energy was generated?
This feels really incorrect or perhaps you're a complete novice to .NET or fresh out of school. .NET 6 is line-for-line compatible with nearly everything you'd encounter online. The core API hasn't changed, there's certain edges that have changed from .NET Framework to .NET, including where certain libraries might have been moved but I've migrated multiple projects now and the only issues were typically related to either using very old frameworks that had changed their API or changes to build systems (which admittedly are tedious).

There's no learning curve.
Much like how irregardless is now considered a thing. One of these days "mute point" will be a thing too :). I better not look that up, maybe it already is. I often wonder what people think they're saying when they misuse phrases like that.
was I a conspiracy wingnut for thinking the war in Iraq was fought on dubious grounds? Don't have time to go down the rabbit hole. Let's just apply Mark Twain's quote and replace "read the newspaper" with "watch/read corporate news". He's still right.

“If you don't read the newspaper, you're uninformed. If you do, you're misinformed.”
If it weren't Kashmir, it'd be some other border province. As you said, it's the politicians and the political (possibly geopolitical) structure that results in this.
People get caught up on versions of the framework. Handy guide:

.NET Framework (v1.0-4.8) - 4.8 Currently still supported, but don't build anything new in it. It only gets very minor updates. Not cross platform (Mono can help, but euuughhh), slower, stuck with C# 7.3.

.NET Core (v1.0-3.1) - Out of support, transition period between .NET Framework and modern .NET. Cross platform support, some support for AOT compile.

.NET (v6-8) - LTS every other version starting with 6, 36 months LTS, cross platform, magnitudes faster than .NET Framework. Successor to Framework and Core. Many features of .NET Framework have been abstracted to NuGet packages.

.NET Standard (v1.0-2.1) - Interop API specification for Framework/Core/.NET. Write a class library that targets .NET Standard and you can use it in more than one runtime. You'll see a lot of NuGet packages target Standard. If you're writing a class library you should probably target Standard.

"Core" products/packages - Many packages/libraries have been renamed to include "Core" in the title. ASP.NET Core, Entity Framework Core, etc. These are libraries/packages that only have implement their core functionality. For example, ASP.NET Core has some basic implementations, but does not include things like Web API, MVC, Authorization, Razor. If you build an ASP.NET Core project you'll be pulling in a lot of packages based on your needs. The features/libraries are more atomic and less reliant on a full version update of ASP.NET Core.
> and my hypothesis that's where it will stop

That's like saying junior developers will never take your job because they just don't know enough context or have enough experience.

Why do you think there is any reason for progress to stop? When has progress ever stopped? Even just looking at the simplistic Github Copilot from ~3 years ago I could see the writing on the wall for jnr devs. When these models have your entire codebase consumed it's quite apparent that the gestalt has changed in a way I think you are underestimating.

Complex product/systems is exactly where you'll need an AI code writer. It knows all of everything in your massive codebase. It will be able to suggest efficiencies you couldn't possibly be aware of unless you'd read every line of code yourself.

Remember when AlphaGo made that one move that showed it was far, far superior than a human at improvising and seeing ahead leagues of moves? It shocked the whole community, even the DeepMind engineers were shocked. That's going to be you one day. There is absolutely no reason I can see for this not to happen bar some sort of as yet undiscovered logical limit.

Starship numbers constantly change based on what works in tests, how the engines evolve as their production scales up and the design gets simplified, etc. New Glenn is still lacking all these insights. Both projects are delayed, but if I had to bet which one is going to deliver closer to the currently promised performance and launch date I'd bet on the one that has scaled up prototype production and has performed test launches.
The main problem is ChatGPT had already caught the public’s imagination. A somewhat lame announcement of an upcoming product feature was actually a significant letdown from Google.In retrospect it may have been better if they stayed quiet for a while and then unveil something that everyone could try out and feel for themselves.
I have very little experience with Java, but I tried building a web app with Spring Boot once. Figuring out even the most basic things, like how to get server-side templates to work, took forever. Many things documented around the web just flat out didn’t work. I got it to a workable state though.

In the modern ASP.NET Core, things are much better organized and documented. The framework has far less magic involved. No magically auto-generated repositories, no @Autowired magic, and far less use of annotations. Things just make more sense.

As for the language itself, C# is nicer in many regards. Even basic things like properties instead of hand-written or Lombok-generated getters and setters, or operator overloading where it makes sense, lead to clearer code.

Regarding IDEs: I hate Visual Studio, but JetBrains Rider is basically IntelliJ for C#.
I've worked two jobs and you get diminishing returns. Yes, at the end of the year you have more money, but the cost of a second job is way higher than than one job.

From a benefits' standpoint: you only get one 401k and one health insurance plan.

From a personal health standpoint: you have to outsource more of your life. You won't have time to go to cook healthy food for yourself or socialize with friends.

Tread lightly.
The Google Podcasts app has search like that on Android as well. I agree that it's amazing that there is such a dearth of usable podcast apps out there, especially on Android.
Am I missing something? Apple Podcasts is nothing but discovery -- It's 3/4 of the main tabs. On "Listen Now" you get popular and personalized suggestions, on "Browse" you get new, trending, top shows, top episodes, top channels, and a bunch of categories. If that's not enough if you go to "Search" and pick a genre you get top, new, and subgenres.
If a business doesn't publish a price, then people will have to contact them to find out they can't afford it. This wastes the time of the person having to tell this to the unwanted customers.
Well, and finding out what the message #345 really means. I use file/line history a lot, it gets really useless with ticket numbers only. Yes, one could automate that to fetch the ticket description and display it. But the ticket description doesn't match the commit. It might for a simple bug report, but it doesnt at all for a bunch fine grained commits which together build up towards implementing a new feature. Might depend on the line of work, but having been there and done that: nevermore.
> He's a fairly toxic human being and I have no idea why people love him.

You've answered your own question.

Give it an honest good faith attempt to understand why people might like someone, and you'll probably find some sort of virtue. If you're cemented in your reality bubble and starting off with "he's a fairly toxic human" than you're not going to go anywhere.

I think your guess would be wrong too. Hacker news is still insulated enough that overly simplistic comments will down voted regardless of ideologically alignment.
Is there anything that can be done with unused Roku boxes? I have a Roku Ultra 4k that I'd love to install open source software onto.
What regulation did they bypass?

It’s mostly just egg on their face and a reason to not buy their car in the future.
It could be interesting to see the differences between author and generated messages as per a sibling comment. But for the purpose of trustworthiness I think you would want the commit author to pull the trigger on the comment (It's pretty clear from recent examples in the wild that it's a bad idea to trust language models for correctness beyond the language itself).
Sure, you're not wrong on general principle but Starship is literally going to attempt an orbital launch in a couple weeks (they just did a full test fire), and we don't need to take anyone's promises to check the numbers.

If it succeeds, New Glenn is going to be superfluous and starting at a massive timing disadvantage.
Union types are a gap, although records and switch expressions will get you much closer than was previously possible.

Object literals are a thing, they’re called anonymous types. You just new them up. And functions can be passed around as first class objects, with some minor type boilerplate in a few places.

There are a few places where you have to adjust to different naming conventions and types are obviously stricter but my experience is that for the most part modern c# has all the things I like about TS/JS.

> In general I grow super weary of companies and the government downplaying these sorts of things. It seems to constantly follow the pattern of people saying "It's not that bad" and then only years later do we actually see the horrific health and environmental effects of these sorts of things play out when it's too late for the folks that have been impacted.
This isn't really the same, but I've been thinking in similar areas a lot lately in the context of climate change, and the debate around climate change, although debating any topic doesn't change many minds.

If you bet on the scientific majority around climate change being wrong / non-existent / something we can't control, and end up being wrong, then the worst case scenario we make the planet uninhabitable (I'm going to the extreme here).

If you bet that climate change exists and is man-made and end up wrong, we've unnecessarily invested a huge amount of money into reducing pollution, more efficient buildings / manufacturing / transport, and reduce the dependence on a limited set of oil producers to be able to hold supply of oil over nations.

For something more immediate like health concerns with this derailment, is should the officials be more willing to be wrong? And message as such?
Neither Libya nor Syria have them, do they? And Iran was close, but the treaty (the one the last US admin tore appart) stopped them for the time being.
> sports clubs are run by outside groups and happen after school on their own resources

I'm sorry, I don't get your argument here... in your first sentence you say school sports harms equity, but then you advocate for private sports clubs - which in my poor district would mean a whole lot of kids not able to participate without the publicly-provided funding of those public school activities. School sports, music, theater, etc is the equity that wouldn't be otherwise available if we all moved to privatized education, clubs, etc. Which is not to say if those clubs are available in your community and you can afford them, good for you and your kids.
The recent yandex leak had dwell time in it, I think. It makes me sad that it means that recipes (a very competitive field) are going to be coming after novels on the top sites.

A case of limitations working in concert. The rather oppressive distance fog helped conceal just how small the world was, and it felt a lot more expansive thanks to the slower pace of the game.

No sprinting, no mounts, no fast-travel-from-anywhere (beyond mark/recall and the teleport to temple spells) and the in-game fast travel systems were varied, thought out and well placed. Having to plan a route of mage guild teleports, boat rides, stilt striders, and/or the teleportation complexes helped immerse the player in the world.
This point is buried but really good. YouTube is a bit at fault here. Ideally we’d all keep using rss, but it’s hard to fault podcasters for going where monetization is possible. Respect to Sam Harris for going fully listener supported.

There is no reason for it to go up. Less cars -> less demand -> less cost.
The proliferation of knowledge about how easy it was to do this, and the resulting subcultural trend, is the reason they are being forced to change it. Otherwise, people would be stealing them at the same rates they were before the recent trend.
> MS Word in the 90s and 00s [...] often took minutes to start up.

And how quickly would the latest version of Microsoft Word start up on 90s-era PC?

Okay, so it wouldn't start up at all because the computer would not have enough memory, among other things. Let's say we built the absolute closest computer that could still technically run modern MS Office. We'd choose the absolute slowest CPU that can still boot Windows 10, the smallest amount of memory, and so on. It would still be many times faster than a 90s-era PC.

How quickly would modern Office open on that hardware? What about Office 95?
It is personal information that risks identifying them more than they already had at the time of posting. It took about two seconds to put everything together. I don't have a dog in this fight politically one way or the other, people don't need to identify themselves IRL here.

> "The thefts are reportedly easy to pull off because many 2015-2019 Hyundai and Kia vehicles lack electronic immobilizers that prevent thieves from simply breaking in and bypassing the ignition. The feature is standard equipment on nearly all vehicles from the same period made by other manufacturers."

It's more than that.

It's a combination of a lack of electronic immobilizer and putting the mechanical component behind a piece of plastic.

If they really want to save pennies on the immobilizer, they can move the mechanical piece further down the steering column
All of this is pretty easy to understand. Podcasts had been free. But Spotify (and Apple too) saw an opportunity to make them paid, by funneling some money to creators. And since these creators wanted to make $$$ they said sign me up please, that sounds great!

The rise of paywalled podcasts was inevitable, and you can blame podcast creators just as much for wanting a piece of the $$$. But of course that makes as much sense as blaming actors for wanting to be paid for doing a movie, or blaming software developers for wanting to be paid to write software.

It's just capitalism doing what capitalism does. And I don't see a problem with rewarding popular podcast creators monetarily for their success, which Spotify (and Apple) created a new avenue for.

But remember, nobody's forcing individual podcasts to go from free to paid exclusive. The podcast creators are making that choice.
A thought experiment.

When is it "Normalization of Deviance"? and when is it a "Efficiency Optimization"?

I mean, the difference is pretty clear after something has failed, But very murky before.
The Turing test was originated in the 1950s. The goal posts haven't moved much in 70 years. The development of these new language models is revealing that, as impressive as the models are at generating language, it is possible that the Turing test was mis-conceived if the goal was to identify AGI.

At the time, it was inconceivable that a program could interact the way that ChatGPT does (or the way that Dall-E does) without AGI. We now know that this is not the case, and that means that it might finally be time to recognize that the Turing test, while a brilliant idea at the time, doesn't actually differentiate in the way that we want to.

70 years without moving the goal posts is, frankly, pretty good.
China and India have plenty of contention points. They fought a war in 1962 and have ongoing border disputes to this day.
"Prove it." would be my first respones. Followed by "Why are they dead?" and "Did you kill them yourself?" and "How often have you found dead fish anywhere?" and "How often do you look?" and "What killed these fish specifically?" etc

I guess falling back to "show me your degree" might be an easy way to answer all those questions at once.
Its a mix.

I'm sitting here trying to replicate a service across multiple zones this mornin— oh, it's not morning any more sigh — and, well,

Code: ReconcileVMSSAgentPoolFailed
Message: We are unable to serve this request due to an internal error

At some point/level, Azure can't¹, so I can't. There's GCP, but high switching costs. (¹this is a fractal error, too. Part incompetence, part societal and economic factors way out of certainly my control.)

But absolutely there is incompetence. I fielded this, this week: "the tests broke", "oh, sorry about that. I've introduced a bug. a while later It's fixed now." "the test is still broke for me?" "… you need to pull the fix…?"

I've got another dev staunchly refusing to enable the logging necessary to print tracebacks, … while simultaneously being perplexed by a bug we're facing. IDK what's causing the bug either … but, IDK, let's get some logs in the meantime?

Higher ups wondering "why can't anyone answer technical questions? How are our devs so incompetent that they don't know the answers?" after the entire team that managed the component to which the question is directed at has been laid off.

I've answered questions in the form of,

A: We do X. Here's a screenshot. <screenshot>
Me: Where in your screenshot is X?
A: Oh, you're right.

Often enough that sometimes I wonder if ChatGPT hasn't already replaced some of the people around me.

I think that it is the NYT's policy to not put giant pictures of potential disasters on their front page to avoid being sensationalist.

I would not fault you for disagreeing with that style. Most importantly I think that it risks missing important events: at first they are either not verified (or not verified to be important, like here) and a few days later they are no longer newsworthy. But at least it seems that there is some logic to it.

I still don't understand why people think that the level of information that the public is aware of is somehow the exact same as the USG has. Not to mention, knowledge of what truly when on is heavily compartmentalized within the USG and IC as a whole. Whatever narrative the people are being told is the same narrative that our adversaries are being fed, so a fine line needs to be tread between putting the public at ease and giving away information about our capabilities.

This obviously does leave room for speculation and thus conspiracy theorists, but what justification do conspiracy theorists need anyway? The crux of most conspiracy theories is making a mountain out of a mole hill.
