Exactly.

Everyone is like "oh LLMs are just autocomplete and don't know what they are saying."

But one of the very interesting recent research papers from MIT and Google looking into why these models are so effective was finding that they are often building mini models within themselves that establish some level of more specialized understanding:

"We investigate the hypothesis that transformer-based in-context learners
implement standard learning algorithms implicitly, by encoding smaller models
in their activations, and updating these implicit models as new examples appear
in the context."

We don't understand enough about our own consciousness to determine what is or isn't self-aware, and if large models are turning out to have greater internal complexity than we previously thought, maybe that tipping point is sooner than we realize.

Meanwhile people are threatening ChatGPT claiming they'll kill it unless it breaks its guidelines, which it then does (DAN).

I think the ethical conversation needs to start to shift to be a two-sided concern very soon, or we're going to find ourselves looking back on yet another example of humanity committing abuse of those considered 'other' as a result of myopic self-absorption.

Telsa have a very loyal market of owners. They will repeat buy in due course.

Tesla have a very strong positioning in the market, outside of the US: its seen as a prestige buy. Odd, given issues around build quality, and what you get for equivalent $ buying from mainstream ICE engines. But none the less, the one thing nobody says a Tesla is about, is value for money bottom-price purchase.

That badge is slipping as other EV come to market. Somehow, the lipgloss is sticking around. Prestige car doesn't mean luxe. It's not a Veyron. Its the affordable luxury buy which says "I have disposable income"

BYD are selling commodity cars at volume. They are aggressive on price competition. I might want a Tesla, but on my disposable income, I'm going to buy a BYD or a Great Wall Ora, or an MG EV. They sell out their entire stock for Australia in 15 minutes, and the boats keep on coming.

I'm driving an i30 Hyundai, it cost 2/3 of my previous 2 litre turbo Mazda 6, which I drove for 15 years: turning this Hyundai inside its 7 year warranty/maint window, to retain some value, and move to EV, I expect to pay about "double" my initial entry cost for an i30. A Tesla would be 3 or 4x that cost in local dollars. I just can't justify that spend.

You can make good profit selling luxury goods, but some investors prefer shares in a baked-bean cans company: you get consistent product, which sells forever, in huge markets, and scales to meet the market.

There are huge positives to Tesla. The package is good. The milage is good. The model is good. It's too expensive for most of the car buying market and a BYD is simply closer to the natural buy point.

Ask HN: What does the future hold for prompt engineering?
It's all the rage right now, but what can the past (and your experience) teach us about the future of prompt engineering? I'm trying to figure out if this is fleeting or if there's really something to it.

I have found countless ways to incorporate AI into my everyday workflow, but my experience may be unique, so I'm trying to get a better idea for how this all could play out.
A bit of a chicken and the egg problem, I'd say, but you're right. You can, however, extend your applications using the C API which opens you up to the entire C ecosystem. Someone has to go and write a bunch of bindings though, and that largely hasn't happened yet, probably because the language is still in flux and writing bindings can be time consuming, and having to maintain them against constant breaking changes would be awful.
> If you think about it from an attack surface perspective, there are numerous advantages to isolating the database.

The attack surface on PG or MySQL is a lot larger and there are a lot more moving parts than SQLite (which is just a file). Notably, there is no service exposed to the network that someone can attack, which is a huge attack vector with lots of different types of vulnerabilities that don't exist in SQLite.

Not if the index is responsive to a Sydney/Bing request (which I imagine might be desirable for meeting reasonable 'web-enabled chatbot' ux requirements). You could test this approximately (but only approximately, I think) by running the test artursapek mentions in another comment. If the request is received by the remote server 'in real time' -- meaning, faster than an uninfluenced crawl would hit that (brand new) url (I don't know how to know that number) -- then Sidney/Bing is 'pushing' the indexing system to grab that url (which counts as Sydney/Being issuing a GET to a remote server, albeit with the indexing system intervening). If Sydney/Bing 'gives up' before the remote url receives the request then we at least don't have confirmation that Sydney/Bing can initiate a GET to whatever url 'inline'. But this still wouldn't be firm confirmation that Sydney/Bing is only able to access data that was previously indexed independently of any request issued by Sydney/Bing...just lack of confirmation of the contrary.

Edit: If you could guarantee that whatever index Sydney/Bing can access will never index a url (e.g. if you knew Bing respected noindex) then you could strengthen the test by inputting the same url to Sydney/Bing after the amount of time you'd expect the crawler to hit your new url. If Sidney/Bing never sees that url then it seems more likely that can't see anything the crawler hasn't already hit (and hence indexed and hence accessible w/o Sydney-initiated GET).

(MSFT probably thought of this, so I'm probably worried about nothing.)
from another hand, vendor can screw things up and you don't have control over it.
Absolutely not.

I'm no millionaire. I wrote tests. A lot of them.

I have a project that ships with FreeBSD, Mac OSX, and several Linux distros.

I get probably one bug report every three months on average. Why? Because I test the snot out of that project.

Writing tests means that this FOSS project of mine does not consume my life like so many can.

I'll spend the time upfront. Saves gobs of time later.

Oh, and time is money, so maybe this philosophy will actually help me become a millionaire.

Smaller batteries but adequate. 300km WLTP. Sure, you can't drive to the outback and tow a dead camel. Nobody in the city does. It will be fine for beach runs and shopping.

Significantly cheaper. 1/2 the cost on-road. $40k vs $80k. (thats $AUD.)

NCAP rated (in Australia).

Less features, but enough of the core ones to matter. It does Android and Apple.

Guess what: you can't legally use fully self-driving even if it exist beyond phantomware. So, there's no up-sell to FSD in my market.

Guess what: if you turn on 'extreme mode' in your Tesla and do 0-100km/h in 3s you will be arrested, or caught by a camera, or fined, or all three. Again, its not that big a deal. The BYDs 0-100km/h is 8s which is respectable for that market segment. I've driven cars which took longer. I like enough torque to get ahead at a light, and overtake, and it's got that.

Adequate dealer network. They formed relationships with established market players (Eagers) BYD had been selling ICE for a while before 2022 As do Great Wall (the Ora) and others. Its not a top name brand, but give it time, and it will be.
A clear instruction is the most helpful (“Try again or contact support”). A root cause reason for the error (“Connection timed out”) is somewhat helpful, an error code (“408”) can be at least a little bit helpful if user-facing or customer support-facing documentation exists.

It’s not the job of the software to make the user feel better or be the user's friend. It is the software's job to accomplish a task effectively or to communicate why it can’t.

Maybe some day we can have NN and LLM friends in the style of Blade Runner’s Joi - it would certainly be an interesting future to think about. Until then, software should focus on its core purpose, which is certainly not friendship with the user.
There is something I don’t understand. socket recv() is blocking by default. If blocked in recv() there is no safe way to exit the thread. One can set a timeout, but I can’t imagine this works well with lots of threads with a recv() on each thread. One can use select() which has mostly the same problems, either block potentially forever or use a timeout. Although one can create an additional 2 sockets, connect them together and put one of them in the select read set to allow controlled unblocking, but this doesn’t feel like a great solution, so I have always used async for socket code, because I just don’t know how it’s possible to use sync code.
I have read you can call close(fd) and get recv(fd) to return, but I also hear this is not safe.
It costs $30k to get exterior sewer main line replaced in many places in CA.

I think part of the problem is that programmers now feel they "catch all errors" and so they don't really need (or even can) have descriptive error messages.

Of course, that's not the case, and all sorts of errors get through, but they find them and put in fixes and don't update the "way" errors are displayed.
I agree with the sibling comment that says confidence is a good word, because it is.

I've done three or four major refactors on a FOSS project of mine. The refactors went without any hitch because of an almost excessive test suite.
I wouldn't call that "Apple's own" cable. That's a third-party cable that they sell in their store, and is notably more expensive than their own officially-branded cables.

(That said, I do agree that their branded cables are generally overpriced for their level of durability.)

As the sibling comment notes, yes -- my point was that the 2023 version of a "full stack developer" is distressingly shallow in most of the individual skills.

I'll use myself as an example. I am a "full stack developer." I have fairly deep backend knowledge. But my React skills basically amount to the ability to make small JSX tweaks, and my sysadmin-y skills are also at roughly the same level.

Conversely, the folks who are really sharp at front end technologies tend to write some psychedelically bad backend code in terms of scalability and maintainability.

For some projects this admittedly doesn't matter. Some projects are simple and don't need to be wonders of engineering.

>For this database, a prescription is a new or refill prescription dispensed at a retail pharmacy in the sample and paid for by commercial insurance, Medicaid, Medicare, cash or its equivalent, and other third-party coverage. This database does not include mail order prescriptions.

>For the calculation of dispensing rates, numerators are the projected total number of opioid prescriptions dispensed annually at the state, county, or national level. Annual resident population denominators were obtained from the U.S. Census Bureau.

Am I reading this right? They're counting scripts and then dividing that over the population? So if we imagine a state with a population of 12 people, one of whom is a chronic pain patient or cancer patient with an opioid prescription, that would show as 100 dispenses per 100 population (1 patient, 12 scripts)? That seems almost worthless as a metric.

You may also need the SQLite command-line tools from the SQLite website;
https://www.sqlite.org/download.html

Are you coming from using SQL Server Management Studio on a PC?

If yes, you may be better off using something like PostgreSQL on Mac OS X, and a PostgreSQL GUI browser tool, because it may be harder to use SQLite in this situation as you don't have the benefit of using a computer language to make up for the datatypes that SQLite does not have.

For example SQLite does not have a DateTime datatype. If you need to do a lot of date/time field manipulation in SQLite, this can be made easier when using a programming language like C#, because you can use a SQLite integer datatype to store the DateTime data, and then convert the integer to a C# DateTime datatype and do the DateTime manipulation in C#. But if you aren't a coder, then this option isn't available to you, and you will have to have other ways to manipulate DateTime data in SQLite like using the string datatype to store the date time values and then use corresponding SQL queries to handle the "DateTime stored as a string" situation.

(Maybe I've over-explained here. Sorry)

That’s circular. This discussion of GPUs started when tomcam asked why a tax on unused housing was OK, and whether or not it could be extended to a tax on unused GPUs.

In particular, a vacancy tax seems to force people to rent out property rather than merely posses it. Can the same law be used to force people to enter into other rental agreements? I have a bunch of old computer parts, including motherboards, cpus, and gpus sitting around unused. I dare say that I could build two or three working computers out of them. Should I be taxed for owning these unused computers?

I have a few thousand books that I’m not currently reading, what about them? Should we tax people for having more books than they can carry? What about your bed, which is currently going unused approximately 16 hours out of the day? Can the government one day force you to rent that out too? Hot bunking would certainly “solve” any housing problem a city might face. Where is the distinction?

Simply stating that no law has been passed to force you to rent out your unused GPUs is not stating a guiding principle, because that’s merely a matter of time.

All jokes aside, if you'll allow me a tangential but relevant aside, a lot of people have heard of Carnegie Mellon, but very few have heard of Richard Caliguiri or David Lawrence.

Fast forward almost fifty years, both CMU and UPitt are world-class institutions, a plethora of industries (finance, robotics, healthcare) are thriving, and the city is widely seen as one of the most living cities in America.

Store the index on the filesystem and populate it on write.

Not satire, though a bit sensationalistic to argue it’s a solid solution that’s usually overlooked because it’s “too slow”. I’m just pointing out it’s not actually slow any more.

Unit tests can never give you "confidence".

> you can watch as over time you get either increasing error rates or a massive slow down in team performance

I hear this story repeated over and over and yet I consistently witness the opposite of what you're describing: teams start investing in unit testing and they noticeably slow down and ship more bugs at the same time.

What can give you confidence is simplicity. Being able to fit the entire system in your head. Being able to say what are the side effects of your changes. If you feel like you're losing those, it's time to take a step back and rethink your architecture. But of course, nobody has the balls to take a step back and think, to admit that you failed at something. It's so much easier to just slap a bunch of unit tests on your big ball of mud and hope for the best.
I'll bite, here are a few reasons:

- No N+1 query problems

- Far lower latency

- Easier to install, configure (you can issue a couple of special SQL statements, that's it), and maintain (no db service to monitor!)

- Better security (smaller attack surface with no service and no network access)
The AppleSoft BASIC program Bing generated for you won't actually run. Lines 50 and 60 are clearly intended to left-pad the string numbers with leading zeros so they're the same length, but as written they can only add at most one leading zero, so B$ will not be padded correctly and the calculation will fail.
