I really love the design of this website: simple, clean, responsive and readable without sacrificing style.
It undercuts the whole piece. The pronouncements feel question begging. Much of the article suggests someone who hasn't actually bothered to spend much time asking ChatGPT the questions he is so confident it can't answer well. He also doesn't seem aware that ChatGPT is a deliberately tamed model that is trying desperately to shy away from saying anything too controversial, and that was a choice made by openai, not something that highlights limitations with language models in general (or if it does, it's an entirely different, political question than technical question).

I accept that it's possible that he has some deep reasoning for the surface level arguments he's making that would make them less arbitrary seeming, but he hasn't even hinted at them in the article.
But a lot of people outside UK talk with people inside UK. A ban would touch a lot more people than 3%.
Yep, do this all the time. It's also really nice because when you define a type as

Record<EnumType, any>

then when you are creating an instance of that Record object, it requires a key for all the EnumType values, and will fail if you forgot one. Still possible to do

Partial<Record<EnumType, any>>

if you want the keys to be only of the EnumType, but don't require all the EnumType values to be used as a key in the Record.
Whatever we are, we can be approximated to an arbitrary degree of precision. Every time we see a new leading model, skeptics emerge from the shadows calling for a pause to the optimistic progress being made. While it remains unproven whether we will ultimately achieve the desired level of approximation, it is equally unproven that we will not.
Besides being fine, I also doubt it will stay true.

Datacenters have been consuming more and more energy because the work they are expected to do is always increasing. Self-driving cars have some phenomenally large problem to solve... and that's it. Any efficiency gain on those computers will realize as reduced consumption.
Huh.. I think the reason they don't go in-depth and fail to "debunk" those types of rebuttals, as does anybody else for that matter (including you), is because they can't actually do it. Feel free to prove me wrong though.

I don't believe we're stochastic parrots - but those articles, and even this comment section which contains little more than dogmatic assertions almost makes me doubt it.
Oh, absolutely not easy.

At the end of the day, wireless means they're sending a signal on some frequency over the air(either up to satellite, down to ground stations or on some axis emanating from the aircraft using some known or as of yet unknown medium). If it can be detected, it can be blocked through brute force flooding with noise.

You can't remote control something if it can't receive signal from source and (less importantly) (in effect) can't send signal back to source.

I don't really agree. I wouldn't call NLP a trick, it's extremely useful. So what if chatGPT is just a chinese room? It's an effective tool and that's all it needs to be.
Our marketing team using it for writing copy, tweets, etc have clearly demonstrated it's not just recycling content.

Somehow it can generate new forms of content. One of our big campaigns in the last week used slighlty edited ChatGPT copy, the biggest surprise was it could write JOKES about our company, that were FUNNY AND MADE SENSE. That alone has shocked leadership into deeply looking into AI a lot more.

People are truly underestimating the emergent power of these neural networks.
Genuine question, why developer productivity was higher in node?
> Same with JS, you want JS but with types? You can have Typescript. I wish they did the same with JS-with-classes, just write a new language that compiles to JS instead of bolt classes onto the JS standard.

Wow, relevant username for this take, as you'd end up with an eldritch creature as soon as people tried to bolt these DSLs together into their opinionated bags of features, and a meta-language landscape that resembles the already fragmented frontend landscape of today

I learned to weld in high school. The first priority is safety education. While this is neat, that is a very massive missing element that students must become familiar with when learning to weld.

I've been using them in combination and that has been a real boost to me! Co-pilot is great for ideas. Sometimes I want an explanation of what something is doing or to ask about methods for accomplishing a certain task etc. I'm just using ChatGPT in the web browser at the moment, but in the IDE itself would be fantastic, though at the moment I don't feel confident about giving an API key to a 3rd party extension that I don't fully trust.
Yep, prices are prices, but switch and bait on the mailboxes is the issue here. Really struggled with the title length limit!
On this second-systems effect: Okay, what if the initial system has reached a point of being unmaintainable and a new system is needed, and there just is no way to get it to where it needs to go incrementally, because the pathways just aren't there; it's a from-scratch do-over. Now what? Abandon hope? I don't get that.

I work at an organization where the second-system is being attempted and jealousy, sabotage, resistance to change and more come into play (why do they get to build it? we should build it! let's tell everybody how much it's going to suck because those guys are stupid! etc) but the danged thing is badly needed.
I got to play with an HP Veer circa 2011, a phone the size of a credit card, specifically to try out the keyboard (specifically, I remember visiting this website).

It was a far better typing experience than the iPhone SE ever was. Tactile feedback was solid, shockingly so.
More likely a credit event affecting low quality debt/companies. Usually these trigger broader recessions

Nah, it's plenty enough to use two (or more) cameras where one has a hefty ND filter, then you use an HDR algorithm to fuse the images.
Camera is a bit shit (by 2020 standards) but that's my only complaint (my current phone is the g8 power) and that might be fixable with a different camera app.
They have enough tanks to squash as many people they'd like in as many town squares as they have, just like everyone saw them do in Tiananmen square.
Node is much simpler to work with, and if you're running one shot, short serverless ops (i.e. not batch), faster to start (no JVM cold start) and cheaper to run (less RAM) than Java.

If they're really concerned about performance they'd not go wrong by using Deno which often has at least double the performance of Node https://medium.com/deno-the-complete-reference/node-js-vs-de...

Deno for a lot of operations is actually comparable to Java level performance: https://programming-language-benchmarks.vercel.app/java-vs-t...
> Then all scientific theories are “models.”

I may be missing the context of what you mean by model and somewhat agree with your original critique of Norvig's comment. However, scientific theories are nothing but models. For example, general relativity is not gravity but is instead a model of gravity. Quantum mechanics describes quantum behavior but it is not quantum behavior. It is a model of quantum behavior.

When physicists say "is", they mean "is modeled by" or "is a model of", whether they think so or not. None of the mathematics, or physics, or what have you is the actual thing. They are nothing but models of the actual thing that have varying degrees of accuracy and precision.
What? I'm referring to the author of the article I linked (who is not me, and is deceased).

I think an important thing is to understand why you're reading. What are you wanting to get out of it? That will inform the sorts of books that are of value to you and the sorts that aren't.

One person's indispensable book can be, and often is, another person's complete waste of time. It depends as much on the reader as on the book.

Debug symbols are often larger than the original source code though. The main culprit is C++ template expansions, which can get crazy long.
On the contrary, many of the new TS features over the last year or more have been around making type inference smarter and allowing for less explicit typing

> Um, what?

Gotcha you're not actually interested in conversation
Even though there isn't a formal theory, there definitely is a big difference between a person capable of doing good system design and one who isn't. I don't think all people are capable of becoming a systems designer or architect. It is not always required for projects, but when it is necessary it can make a great difference, putting a project on the right track from the beginning and keeping it on track, making sure it all becomes something good in the end.

I've done it enough to know that I couldn't do it while keeping my IC-type role as well. For me, personally, I approach systems design in a sort of breadth first search for a solution to the entire problem space, whilst deep-diving into particular areas where I am less certain. For other parts my experience lets me brush over details quite quickly.

However, that is quite different from an IC-type role, where you'll typically run into a multitude of practical engineering issues that can be frustrating and take a lot of time. Tool issues, cloud issues, bug hunting, smoking out every little detail, write unit tests, review others code, etc. That would completely throw your mental cycles in the wrong bucket.

I don't think you should do system design without having plenty of experience from IC-type roles though. You have to have understood so many different aspects; capabilities of the people at hand, the organization at large, tools, frameworks, technologies, etc, and be very, very willing to communicate the picture over and over again and take in feedback as the project progresses. It's technical leadership at one of the hardest levels.

But realise at the same time that even software development itself doesn't have anything resembling a universal theory, common processes or frameworks. It's all changing, being reinvented, and rediscovered on a continuous basis. It is equally true that many things even in medicine or construction aren't based on any solid science.
Well it's a nice way to have a no-reply@ for my side projects and a smtp to send emails from those webapps.

Probably not worth paying the asking price for this usage though.

Being hoisted by your petard is a well-known phrase from Hamlet by William Shakespeare, indicating an ironic reversal, or poetic justice. [1] Yet, it is somewhat of an ironic reversal [2] for you to write that the saying isn't apt.

The literal meaning of the phrase is that when your own bomb's explosion blows you backwards that leads to the derivative understanding of having experienced an ironic reversal or poetic justice in whatever situation is being experienced.

In todays world we now have the culturally apropos Petard Clothes for custom hoisting. [3] So, we actually have a double entendre [4] that should tell us all not to get hoisted by our own petards when telling HN posters not to wear their bombs.

Shares just fell 60%, not this year, but today, which is the biggest drop I can think of.

This is after a $1.25B common stock offering in an attempt to shore up its cash reserves.

Keep in mind they are raising cash by selling equity with their shares at $100 when they were at $500 a less than a year ago.

That's pawn shop levels of selling. To say they are in trouble is like saying it would be tough to sell a house that is currently on fire.

Rumour was that SIVB got alot of the old SI deposits when it became clear that they were going bankrupt.

It looks like both SI and SIVB will go bankrupt due to the same two causes.

The one two punch of:

- loan duration mismatches(short term deposits bet against long term loans). More specifically to get some interest income you tend to have to either go to riskier assets, not an option for bank, or longer duration. Unfortunately this locks you into rates for a long term.

As everyone knows, rates have really gone up quickly in a short duration. This makes your long duration assets drop alot in value so you can't easily liquidate them to move to new higher paying assets.

Normally this would be fine as you can ride out the duration of your long term bets without losing money, except for the second issue below.

- and a deluge of withdrawals meaning you can't just ride out your long term loans.

The difference here is that while SI will go away, someone will probably buy SIVB. It's just that with FDIC only protecting the first $250,000 in deposits you don't want your corporate money at the bank. And you certainly don't want to wait for FDIC to step in and make you whole.

There is a potential third issue with SIVB in that as the bank of alot of silicon valley startups they hold a lot of warrants for those companies on their balance sheet. And those have really been written down alot lately. Stripe, a great company by most measures had its valuation cut in half according to a post from yesterday so you can imagine what the average startup's valuation is worth if strip is being cut in half.

SIVB got hit by a lot of different issues all at once but they all had the same root cause, large interest rate hikes in a quick timeframe.

The other commonality between SIVB an SI is that both banks heavily concentrated on one sector only, for SI it was crypto and for SIVB it was silicon valley. For each bank they ran into interest rate hikes at the same time that the sectors they relied on took a huge dive in value.

Diversification is important.
Absolutely.

Which is why you should not feel bad about abandoning a bad book, life is short, not everything is worth reading (or not everything is going to be interesting to you), so spend more time on the good ones, or on the ones you enjoy.

I'm not a huge reader so I finish few, but occasionally I come across a gem and relish it, re-reading whole chapters, trying to absorb as much as possible. As others have pointed out, even the good ones contain less interesting sections, but sometimes this is more intrinsic to the subject, sort of like the vegetables that might not be as palatable but you should eat in order to maximise your absorption of the nutrients... Distinguishing this from books of generally low value low quality is not always quick, but you gain an instinct and will know when to ditch it.

My hunt for books is completely random and infrequent, and I think I could personally do a lot better here, by going after the classics, books that stood the test of time..

Working with someone else’s code is always slower. As a mostly solo developer, I’m curious if a tool like this could speed me up vs writing code myself and using code I’ve written in the past. I think even in with a small team, specific devs can have complete ownership over different chunks of code.

Having AI write a chunk of your codebase may be kinda like having someone else write it, but then leave the project. Plenty of companies work like this, but they move much slower. Anyways I’m sure tools like this will have a market, but I’m not sure they make sense to be adopted by the fastest moving companies
What sections? Nothing turns up on google.
Nice. I'm a user and I also recommend it.
I don't disagree, I guess I just have a higher level of confidence in what we do know about both the brain and LLMs.

Based on that, and on comparing the output, it just seems clear to me these things are different in kind. I guess that's just me displaying classic LLM self-confidence ;)
I did similar about 2 years ago. I do not regret. I do love arch, but now and then I just wish it worked. It is a pita to sometimes do a small update and spend hours to fix. I do not have time for that anymore :(
Also the support for some packages is pretty limited and if you need to have some custom driver you can say goodbye to part of your Sunday.

I am using fedora, but not silverblue. It is sufficiently good.
It works, is stable, has good package coverage and nothing really pisses me off. (And believe me when I say it is something hard to achieve)
Since my first install, i believe at fedora 30... I only encountered a small issue once. I think currently is 38 I guess... I don't even need to know because it works.

I ditched Ubuntu since Amazon stuff scandal. I know they have to make money somehow, but that was concerning.
Anyway. I would love to go back to arch someday, but the community is toxic af too. I never asked anything in the forums because the answer is always the same.

>Here what matters in court is, have drugs been found. If the cops think someone looks suspicious enough, they can search him. And if drugs were found, than this is all that matters in court,

That is entirely incorrect. German law follows a similar structure to the United States regarding the admissibility of evidence that was collected improperly. Evidence obtained in violation of the law, particularly by infringement of the privacy of the home or person, may be excluded from the trial if the violation is deemed to have a significant impact on the reliability of the evidence. The standard of probable cause in German law is known as "concrete indications of a specific criminal offense" (konkrete Anhaltspunkte für eine bestimmte Straftat). It requires officials to have concrete indications that a specific criminal offense has been committed or is about to be committed before they can conduct a search or seizure.
