If by worse you mean avoiding telling people how they can kill each other and get away with it and so on, then yes, it's way worse.
> Same here. I don't know if I retire or dive in deep. There's no really other way to sound other than alarmist.

It might be a blind-leading-the-blind situation, but I wonder if retiring will protect you. Could you imagine having gone into retirement in the early internet? Wouldn't you be really confused at how to use things today? Or maybe you would just learn most useful things passively as a consumer.

It feels like the gap between the people who can make and the people who consume is widening.

Exactly. If you imagine Russia as a unitary rational actor, it makes no sense to blow up the pipeline since they would have had the optionality to shut it down anytime they wanted without destroying it.

However, as part of an internal power structure, it does start to make sense. For example, you could see someone like Prigozhin (sp?) as potentially having a lot to gain from the attack. It would weaken his rivals with ties to the gas industry, and by "shooting the hostage" make Germany more likely to support Ukraine, leading to a longer, more drawn out war which benefits Wagner in all sorts of ways.

Just wait until XXQ adopts the same AI technology to keep the AI-using company’s business. Then the AI can simply coordinate with one another, and make the appropriate changes faster than currently possible. Microsoft is well positioned to do something like this and already working toward this end to end collaborative AI.
Why would Norway in particular notice? The explosions occurred closest to Denmark and Sweden.
I agree with this take, in the main. I think the level of FUD elsewhere is probably unwarranted. Though I fully subscribe to the idea that it is very disruptive tech.

In the context of software engineering I am tending to see it as another layer of abstraction. Once upon a time there was perhaps not much above machine code / assembly, but now you can have quite a few layers providing abstractions over that ending up perhaps at Javascript, or maybe low-code tools. For me, AI sits somewhere vaguely in that category (though with a much higher level of sophistication).

Education wasn't always solely or even mainly about earning credentials. It's only when industry offset their responsibilities to train new employees to universities (and thus the taxpayer in publicly funded education), that suddenly education became entirely about getting a corresponding job and getting a piece of paper.

If you think of education as a public utility, something that unequivocally raises the standard of living, then it becomes about forming a population of educated and informed citizens who can, amongst other things, participate in democracy a lot more effectively.
I took part in GSoC in 2007, it change my whole life. Coming from Eastern Europe and with very little English it exposed me to experienced engineers from Silicon Valley that I would never think to contact. That lead to an internship at NASA a year after, and those references lead to a Ph.D. from Ivy League and a career in AI. That short acceptance letter turned to my life upside down and I can't be more grateful that Google is still doing it for another generation of engineers.

Here's my perspective on this as an Architect: Most construction details have been done before, they could be easily reproduced by an AI surely? There's usually just a few things that are different from the last time I have drawn it. A few 3D interactions with other components that need to be reasoned about. They are not that complicated individually.

But yet I see this problem as well just using old fashioned automation let along AI to save time. I find that if you haven't drawn the 2D section through all the different edge cases of a particular thing you are trying to design, you haven't done the analysis and you don't really understand what's happening. I've made mistakes where I've been working in 3D on something complicated and I've had to hide some element to be able to view what I'm working on, only to find later that when I turn everything on again I've created a clash or something impossible to build. That's why we still do 2D drawings because they are an analysis tool that we've developed for solving these problems and we need to do the analysis, which is to draw section cuts through things, as well as building 3D models. After all, if models were such a good way to describe buildings, then why weren't we just building physical scale models and giving them to the builders 100 years ago; it's because you can't see the build-up of the layers and you can't reason about them.

Reading this article I get the same sense about software engineering, if you haven't solved the problem, you don't really understand the code the AI is generating and so you don't really know if it is going to do what you've tried to describe in your prompt. You still have to read the code it's generated and understand what it is doing to be able to tell if it is going to do what you expect.
Customer service is reading from a scipt.
Why would AI help you? Customer service exists to deflect you from getting back what the corpo stole from you.
The question is it is easier for you to social engineer the CSR into helping you, or prompt engineer the AI into helping you.

> image capabilities are explicitly out of scope.

Can anyone give me the "overview from 10,000ft" on how these multi-modal models ingest images? Are images tokenized? Are there image embedding models? Auxiliary vision heads?
I’m not normally a Luddite but I’m this case, there are some really concerning trends at play here.

Observe: when the value of people is greater than the value of tools, a society becomes more free and equal. When wages depend on skill and knowledge, when an army depends on the prowess of the individual soldiers, these are the kinds of things that usually go along with mass democracy and empowerment, because economic production and war both require the consent of the individual to work.

When on the other hand tools become more valuable than people, when production is centralized and dependent on expensive tools, then power moves into the hands of those who own the capital, and when weapons become so powerful that it doesn’t matter how skilled the individual soldier is, then society becomes more unequal as neither the economic elites or the state really need the consent of the people anymore.

We are entering an era more like the second one. Tools matter so much more than people that individuals are completely powerless and the elite ruling class holds all the cards. Even to the extent that even essentially human activities like telling each other stories and creating art will now be controlled by the owners of capital, and the role of the great mass of people will be reduced to being consumers.

It’s not great. We should turn it off.

> I can easily install many apps hosted at the Docker hub but how would I achieve that without Docker hub,

I'm sorry, I don't understand what you mean.
> no need for heroics, just don't "lie" about it by signing statements

Have you read the statement? There is no "lie" in pulling money and signing the statement. Here is the text:

"The events that unfolded over the past 48 hours have been deeply disappointing and concerning. In the event that SVB were to be purchased and appropriately capitalized, we would be strongly supportive and encourage our portfolio companies to resume their banking relationship with them."

The statement clearly communicates that they have ended their banking relationship (pulled their money). They are simply stating that if the finances of the bank are straightened out they will start banking there again. I don't see any disconnect or deceit between pulling their money and signing the statement. When the Moody's data came out and it was clear things were headed south, of course they transferred or at least tried to transfer their money out.

The failure of all of these financially savvy VCs was not pulling their money weeks or months ago. The data was all there as others have pointed out. They have all been whistling past the graveyard hoping the problem would go away. If there is any shame, it is in that failure to act earlier.
There's another angle on this which is that it's a signal from Putin that there's no going back. In other words, by removing the pipeline from operation, overthrowing him would not yield any benefit to any new regime. Any factions within Russia who were thinking of doing so and getting back to business as usual were suddenly silenced.

> The OR doesn't indicate | in TypeScript, it indicates the result of the possible future type guard.

Are you implying in your other comment (that HN won't let me reply to) that Typescript has an "OR" operator that is distinct from "|"? Can you link to documentation on that?
Came across this a few weeks ago, as a friend who likes to play old flash games was trying to get it working.

While it has a long way to go, it does seem to have better traction than the prior efforts + it seems to be funded by several of the larger online (flash) game hosting places that have a need for it.

So, kind of expecting this will actually work to support most flash stuff over time. Securely this time around.

Guess then we'll be able to brush the dust off the old Flash creation tools? :)
> "We, JPMorgan, are willing to bet $5bn that First Direct does not fail, with no upside to us if they do not" is a rather powerful statement.

It is. But perhaps less so than it appears.

First, there may be downside to JPMorgan if First Republic fails, and especially if dominoes continue to fall after that. So JPMorgan has the upside of avoiding the downside, at least.

Second, JPMorgan is officially recognized as a systemically-important bank. They will not be allowed to fail. So their risk from this move is the risk of some loss, but not the risk of collapse/destruction.

Still a bold move, and one that, as you said, talks quite loudly.
Absolutely this. I still don't understand why people stop seeing the AI at one end of the business/computing/requirements gathering model. You should have it at both ends, "converging" towards the target.
Publicly it's dead, but it's alive and well and constantly getting updated inside Google.
Not massive for connections (Twitter interactions are better for that) and not great for jobs directly (I've had 2 people in 8 years contact me about contract work [i.e. not even full time] that I was not advertising about based on posts).

The most use I get out of my blog in retrospect is that it has a decent amount of minimal working sample code/configuration and I reference these snippets frequently.

But writing itself is part of making sure I understand a concept. So it's not just about the retrospective view but also about what you can learn by not just hacking on stuff but also explaining it in writing.
It is just like economics and government. When you try to control an entity as complex as a human or a group of humans or a LLM you end up with 2nd,3rd,4th order effects that you didn't anticipate.

Am I physically touching your painting when I copy it? If not, then your attempt at equating physical property to thoughts is nonsense.

Should you be fined for saving an NFT?

I don’t want the government to be involved in virtual money.

this is partly true but not accurate in important ways..

The result of ChatGPT depends on the domain of the language. Technical reasoning based on many parts of input, is what the machine was designed for.. human language A to human language B depends on specific models built over the last ten years or so..

But if you subtract those two.. language structure and technical structure, you are left with giant holes in the way humans talk, interact and create.

Overall I would say that people who translate formal documents are in trouble yes.. people who translate to no-loyalty cost-sensitive markets like corporate ads for products or travel recreation things.. are in trouble. But there are many other kinds of communication, and therefore translation.

Ask HN: Remote jobs in areas outside US (Central America)
Hi!

I posted before that me and my partner are planning to move to Central America, or Panama specifically, from Europe, to her home country. You helped with some great resources, and I'm working on growing my network in that area, as well as signing up with the remote consultant matchmakers and hopefully I'll find something so we can make the plan a reality!

Now I'm trying to find the same for my partner, but it's proving difficult. She knows Spanish of course, but I think we would both prefer to work remotely. She's a BIM Architect/Coordinator/Manager, and I have to be honest, it's difficult even finding postings for architect jobs these days, much less remote ones, because the market is totally saturated with postings of ".NET Architect", "Node.js Architect", "System Architect".

Anyway, from what I can tell, most remote opportunities are "remote", one day a week at the office, or "remote" within the city/state in the US. Most companies are also requiring you to have citizenship or be located in the US.

Her experiences with working for latin American companies in the past are horrible. As she describes it, people are more interested in screwing over your neighbour to get ahead, than to do the job, it's a toxic environment with bullying and nastiness. So that's why we're looking for remote.

She's worked with US based companies in the past, and has experience with the architectural processes at least in some states in the US, but again, we can't live there.

Long rant over, my question is if there's any resources similar to those for systems developers, companies that specialise in hiring architects or BIM people located in latin America for remote positions? I'd like to build a professional network for both of us before moving there.
As you can imagine, Indeed, Glassdoor, LinkedIn, Weworkremotely etc. are mostly focused on development roles and related administrative positions, and then architecture jobs disappear in the mass of tech.
