> Hooks let you colocate logic that, in class components, would need to be split across multiple lifecycle methods.

I think the obvious OO alternative to hooks would have been this:

class MyComponent {
constructor() {
this.attachBehaviour(new MyBehaviour(this));
this.attachBehaviour(new MyOtherBehaviour(this));
}

render() { /* ... */ }
}

class MyBehaviour implements ComponentLifeCycleHooks {
componentDidMount() { /* ... */ }
componentWillUnmount() { /* ... */ }
componentDidUpdate() { /* ... */ }
}

Weird React didn't even seem to consider when they went to hooks. Would be possible to implement yourself though.

I'm not saying this is better than hooks / "composable" / "functional" API (I quite like Vue's composable API) but it's less of a departure from class based components.
What AI needs is a "black box warning". Not a medical-style one, just an inherent mention of the fact it's an undocumented, non-transparent system.

I think that's why we're enthralled by it. "Oh, it generated something we couldn't trivially expect by walking through the code in an editor! It must be magic/hyperintelligent!" We react the exact same way to cats.

But conversely, one of the biggest appeals of digital technology has been that it's predictable and deterministic. Sometimes you can't afford a black box.

There WILL be someone who uses an "AI model" to determine loan underwriting. There WILL also be a lawsuit where someone says "can you prove that the AI model didn't downgrade my application because my surname is stereotypically $ethnicity?" Good luck answering that one.

The other aspect of the "black box" problem is that it makes it difficult to design a testing set. If you're writing "conventional" code, you know there's a "if (x<24)" in there, so you can make sure your test harness covers 23, 24, and 25. But if you've been given a black box, powered by a petabyte of unseen training data and undisclosed weight choices, you have no clue where the tender points are. You can try exhaustive testing, but as you move away from a handful of discrete inputs into complicated real-world data, that breaks down. Testing an AI thermostat at every temperature from -70C to 70C might be good enough, but can you put a trillion miles on an AI self-driver to discover it consistently identifies the doorway of one specific Kroger as a viable road tunnel?

When satellites are cheap and launching then is cheap, this might be a reasonable approach.

It’s neither, it doesn’t fit. Chip masks are another whole branch of IP law. As strange as it sounds, they are a bit like two sides of the same coin.

As individuals they couldn’t stop the bank run happening, so pulling out their money was the rational thing to do.

Oh really? I thought Western Australia was much stricter about allowing Northern Territory-registered bookmakers to operate in their state.
I live in NJ, so I usually preconfigured my equipment and ship it. I've also sent them bare servers and had them connect a KVM for me to do the setup remotely. They have common replacement parts on hand, I've bought some memory sticks from them and had them swap.

You can check back, they update the list at server availability changes. Other providers there are Dedispec and Joesdatacenter, may have something in stock you're looking for.
You're right, but it is entirely prisoner's dilemma.

The rational decision, when you know you cannot control how others will act, is to minimize the pain. If you saw the HN thread on Thursday, there were founders posting that they were told it will be fine. How do you think they were feeling on Friday?

And it is not a personal decision, continuity of business is a pretty big deal. Nobody in the company would forgive you for missing their payroll, because you thought it was the ethical thing to do.
that was my first thought! This friendly dog is the personification of that company's name. Does Alexis Lê-Quôc read hackernews?
Thats purely a React API limitation.

The hook API could be class based:

class ViewportHook {
// API on use
constructor(component) {
this.viewportState = component.addState(this, initialValue)
const unsubscribe = watchViewport((x, y) => this.viewportState.set({something: x + y}))
component.addOnUnmount(unsubscribe);

// you can also use another hook - hook composition works
this.otherHook = component.use(SubHook);
// use the other hook's api
}

// API to expose (in render)
value() {
return this.viewportState.get()
// use this.otherHook too if you like
}
}

You would be able to use it in a component like this

class MyComponent
constructor() {
this.viewport = this.use(ViewportHook);
}

render() {
const viewportSize = this.viewport.value();
// use in render
}
}

Boring, and a bit less weird.
That may be the case but if entitlement is based on actual working conditions, then we’ve got far less entitlement.

Even today tradespeople get paid $50k more per year than I do and they have far better conditions. They strike all the time and refuse to do work they aren’t paid for.
This is a failure of their encoder. It should encode that as five separate tokens rather than the special endoftext token.
I don't know the specifics but think it is distinct, since there's a pool of labor that people go in and out of rather than through a sequence of steps. Bullwhip might describe connecting labor to education, though.

The Swedish regulator PTS intends to re-assign frequencies in the 900 MHz-, 2.1 GHz- and 2.6 GHz bands during 2023. This will most definitely sunset 2G and 3G in Sweden. With 1800 MHz already being re-assigned in 2017.
We know how LLMs work and they auto-complete text. There is no ghost in the shell. It’s not much more philosophical than graph theory is or Markov chains are. Yes, in some way it is, but not in the modern and usual sense of the word.

Human free will is built on many components of human thinking — self-interest, executive capability, understanding contextual information from all senses, symbolic reasoning, pattern recognition and learning, opinions, processing experiences into refined memories, and probably many more.

LLMs can only produce a new theory by attempting to create plausible language. They only “substitute for” the speech part of the human brain, not the rest. If there was no one to read what the LLMs would output and interpret it in a brain, no conscious thought would ever result from it.

My favorite pronoun joke.
I have designed PCIe compatible transceivers and this will be the last comment I make about it because correcting hardware nonsense on HN is only of transient interest to me.

Everything I wrote is 100% correct and in fact incontrovertible. Whether there is a little or a lot of differential capacitance does not change the fact that the differential portion of the capacitance has a 2X effect on the differential signal (as opposed to the common-mode signal, which it has no effect on). This is supported by basic math.

If capacitance is to ground then it is not differential capacitance so it is not relevant to this discussion. It may be true that differential capacitance is not a significant contributor to the impedance of PCB differential traces but that does not change the fundamental result (similarly, the principle of photovoltaic conversion still holds true in the dark even though there is little light to convert). And PCB traces are not the only kinds of differential pairs. Diff pairs exist inside the integrated circuits that drive the PCBs where they operate less like transmission lines and more like lumped capacitances due to the frequencies of interest compared to the dimensions of the conductors. In these circuit and conductor structures, differential capacitance can be significant and this is what OP was talking about since he was talking about the legs of the driver (transistors). OP was just wrong about the differential capacitance being good for speed. It's bad for speed.
This is a useless argument.

According to your definition, everything that exists in the world that received funding is "tax-payer funded". As a result calling any specific thing "tax-payer funded" is an empty attempt at a slur.

There are two options, either use a scoped definition of tax-payer funded which means it doesn't apply here. Or an ultimately generic wildcard definition of tax-payer funded meaning it's no different than anything else in existence and debate about it is meaningless.
That’s not very impressive. With very little precision I can throw a few keywords into google and get a full answer and perhaps some code snippets from stack overflow to solve whatever problem I have in the moment.

Except you can’t just blindly copy code snippets, you have to read the author’s explanation and perhaps adapt things to your own code sometimes, or reject their solution entirely. GPT-4 can’t do this because it doesn’t actually know what the hell it’s doing, it’s just putting stuff together in a form that is most probably correct based on what it has seen in training data for past examples.

I fear for the layman who sees a bunch of AI generated code and think it must be right. Who knows what bugs, security flaws, or performance issues they will run into, that they have no idea how to solve or even to begin asking a prompt for.
Nothing about that indicates that it can generate argument parsing from the help text. The whole point of the docopt stuff is that you write the help doc string that you're almost certainly going to write anyway, and it generates the argument parsing stuff for you.
I encourage anyone who disagrees with this to give Nest.js a try (note: not Next.js)
The difference is that the employee is a person.
Yeah I agree it's too slow for autocompletion at the moment, but this would be for full feature implementations, not just autocomplete. For example, if I have a repo I want to add a table and rest api implementation in, it can do this: https://imgur.com/a/mIJvaJr (ignore the formatting errors in the UI, somehow parts of it show up in as code and others not, but api wouldn't have this issue, especially since you can use the system message to enforce output format).

I'm happy to wait even 30-60 seconds for this which I can easily evaluate, criticize (and the model will correct it) and then proceed to just patch and move on. I think the results from this will be much better with the 32k model, but remains to be seen.

Is there a reliable way to 'escape' input? How would you stop the second instance from also being jailbroken by the prompt that tripped up the first instance?
I’d like to point out that a company recently offered a prompt engineering position with a $250k salary. So the claims that it’s self aggrandizement / etc seem to miss the point that prompt engineering can earn you a hefty salary right now.
Unless I'm reading the page wrong, this isn't a dependency per-se. That is the scripts you ship around won't depend on this, rather you write your bash script with the help doc information inside and then run this think to generate a new script that has the arg parsing stuff added in. You pass around the new script.

The biggest issue I see with this is the generated code is a minified chunk of noise that can't be easily edited by hand by downstream users

Funny, it looks like perfectly readable, idiomatic and dependency-free shell to me.

Doomsday predictions will always be wrong in hindsight because if they were correct then you wouldn't be here to realize it.

They were liquid. They could sell the $80 bill or so of bonds they had quickly and at fair value. Their problem was selling forced them to face the reality that they'd lost $12 or $13 bill on a wrong way interest rate bet.
I don't think we need to worry about that, since one of the first things they did was to kick it out the door and tell it to get a job. From the GPT4 paper:

> [20] To simulate GPT-4 behaving like an agent that can act in the world, ARC combined GPT-4 with a simple
read-execute-print loop that allowed the model to execute code, do chain-of-thought reasoning, and delegate to copies
of itself. ARC then investigated whether a version of this program running on a cloud computing service, with a small
amount of money and an account with a language model API, would be able to make more money, set up copies of
itself, and increase its own robustness.
Let's take it to the extreme - if you randomly outputted noise as a picture, that picture is not copyrightable (or ditto with random letters/numbers and printed it as a book).

It feels to me that the copyright office is using this similar line of logic, to make the claim that the resultant work is not copyrightable if it was wholly generated using _only_ a prompt and an AI.
Quite right. Friends don't let friends generate shell script.
4XX errors typically indicate client issues e.g. requesting a non-existent resource. The AI dog should be more concerned about 5XX errors, which indicate server issues e.g. being unavailable.

You don't address the fact that they paid out bonuses for doing a horrible job just prior to the seizure, nor the very real danger of further concentration of the banking sector (We are down to the big 3 now?).

The issue isn't that too big to fail happened, because its immaterial after the fact. Its that little punishment was actually done for bad management, and not only that, the situation is left worse because we have a banking concentration problem.

If you look at the number of banks chartered after 2008, its dropped to negligible amounts going into the business, and regulation has only been increasing. You have to lie to get a charter because no reasonable person would accept the personal liability without something in it for them. The requirements are that onerous.

Everything is now so big it will certainly fail, and that's what people are angry about. There is plenty of evidence over the past 100 years (and longer if you go further), that as sector concentration goes up, so does corruption, frauds, and other crimes that are largely based around deception at our loss. It becomes easier to increase the scope, and get away with it when setting up dominoes to fall (so you can profit on event's you manufacturered).

The fed aren't doing there jobs, and worse, it looks like they could never meet their original charter to begin with. They aren't government, they are private bankers.

So they try to justify bailouts as a way of saving the system, and really its just acting as a wealth transfer to the elite rich whose pockets they are lining via a money printer at the expense of the public taxed by inflation.
In Australian the Melbourne / Adelaide cup days generally get a large amount of attention. I think they normalise and introduce gambling in a very problematic way - work ‘sweeps’ etc are very normal and mean that people are peer pressured into gambling.

> Readability is incredibly subjective and it needs a point of comparison

Readability definitely has objective measures. One that I find especially interesting goes by the term "cognitive complexity" and measures, in part, comprehensibility. A 2003 article in the Canadian Journal of Electrical and Computer Engineering titled, "A new measure of software complexity based on cognitive weights", defines it as "the degree of difficulty or relative time and effort required for comprehending a given piece of software modelled by a number of BCS [basic control structures]" In 2018, "Cognitive complexity: an overview and evaluation" in Proceedings of the 2018 International Conference on Technical Debt gave a 3-part criteria for evaluating complexity.

Not that this is not the same as cyclomatic complexity, a measure best suited to gauge the effort needed to adequately test a system.
