I agree, if the model is powerful enough one should be able to ask "Please find the errors in this text book", and then feed the corrected version back into the training data. Rinse and repeat for lots of books.
You are being sarcastic, but in reality, yes, many family businesses are absolutely multi-generational rent-seeking schemes that solely exist to extract capital from people.

That said, your comparison to forced confiscation of retirement plans by the state or charity is very strange, because it's not as if on your brother's death the state would come in and takes every cent he's ever made as a producer of IP.

In fact, the state literally does the opposite, and gives your brother's children and grandchildren the entire backing of both the civil and criminal justice systems. This is why we spent the 90's and 2000's sitting through VHS tapes telling us that unauthorized copying will be met with an FBI investigation, $250k in fines, and 5 years in prison.

super cool. Past ML progress told us that for most problems for which we manages to get sort-of okay performance, we saw a dramatic subsequent increase in accuracy. The moment we have some idea how to solve it, we usually have quite a few paths forward to increase accuracy. I bet that understanding code will be similar as soon as we focus on it. It's an interesting problem. So far our models are not really coding, which would involve actually running stuff.

EDIT: but GPT4, GPT5 and GPT6 will still get stuff wrong. But so do humans. I don't think the existence of errors is a problem, we just have to get accurate enough to get useful.

> Mirroring images is the primary way, reproducing is the fallback option and also helps to verify the integrity.

I suspect the latter will become more common over time. I can count on no fingers the number of open source projects which I’ve encountered which have production-grade container images. Once you need to think about security you need to build your own containers anyway and once you’ve done that you’ve also removed the concern of a public registry having issues at an inopportune moment.

We need some sort of system that's both distributed (anyone can host) and centralized (one url for a download that doesn't require someone to keep a server up with an ssl certificate needing monthly renewal until the end of time).

We also need to set it up so that the default is that your server using the project also helps host the stuff it needs to run.

In America, Tech "bro" is clearly meant to reference fraternity culture, or at least a certain kind of male group. The guys who go on spring break and pound beers.

That is, a particular kind of insulated and self-reinforcing culture that is distinctly masculine, and comes with all the presumption, chauvinism, and privilege that such a thing always entails. Not to mention treating everything with a somewhat short-term scope: so we get juicero, shitcoins, and now bank runs. Its all just binge drinking on a Sunday night before exams.

I don't think the people who use this term are particularly worried about euphemism, the term is direct.

Noone thinks Bill Gates is a tech bro, he is just the ealier vanguard and as such now more of a rolemodel.

Can we agree that roman numerals suck? I seldom put the effort in to decode even short numbers like xi, let alone the year encoded in roman numerals. I personally read such a thing as "echs aye" in my head. If you intend your numbers to be comprehensible, you'll use arabic numbers. Hence, the fact that screen readers stumble on roman numbers is in fact a benefit, and we should be careful not to break this important feature.

It's remarkable that you skipped past "companies from every category" and jumped straight into your ramblings about Microsoft. I don't care about Microsoft, I used them as an example to disprove your bollocks claim about GPT-x not being useful. As I said, take a look at the list of their current partners. One option would certainly be that you're the only one with insight and all these companies are led by morons with no vision or foresight or the alternative could be that you're just wrong and too egotistic to admit that a piece of technology is better than you in many aspects.
There was a lot of theories in the early days that this is what Google would do, as I recall. I'm actually sad they didn't. Imagine what the world would look like if gmail (and Facebook) had cost a dollar or three per month, though. The companies' incentives would be completely different, and we'd maybe have some actual competition in those spaces.

Browsers have been able to get access to files on disk for longer now than many Web developers have even had careers—drag and drop was one of the first HTML5 APIs. Same with client-side processing for `<input type="file">` elements. (Directory access through the `webkitdirectory` attribute is another story, but it did eventually gain support from all major browsers—even if it's terribly named and the scary warnings about how it will "probably" go away on MDN haven't been updated.)

As for writing, you don't get unlimited unchecked writes the way that Chrome's proposed Filesystem Access API grants you, but you can trigger "checked" writes (that show a file save dialog) using `<a/>` elements with the `download` attribute. This is arguably a better user experience, because it keeps the user in the loop, giving them the opportunity to veto (or rename/relocate) the written file—which will be difficult or impossible to do if the Chrome team's proposed API became standard.

Overall, the File System Access proposal is a bad one that gets the developer vs user prioritization wrong (favoring the convenience and satisfaction of the former over preserving control for the latter), and I hope it doesn't become either a de facto or a de jure fixture of the Web platform soon. Here's to hoping for a future post to the Chrome Developers blog announcing that this is yet another experimental API of theirs that they have decided is going to be sunset in some future release.

First thing I thought reading your comment was "this guy's repeating the low background steel analogy that was posted the other day". I don't know if that's actually true, and it doesn't matter, my point is the internet is already an echo chamber.

As long as someone somewhere is injecting some new stuff in, and they will be, it doesn't matter that there will be more automatically generated crap, there already was

Correct me if I'm wrong, but either the user encryption key is unique and hence the user is identifiable to Google, or a finite number of keys is used which makes the encrypted text subject to identification because a finite number of inputs can produce a given output.

My cryptography education is rather superficial, so I might be missing something.
>CS stopped being globally systemically important a decade ago.

I don't know if you've looked at the market this morning, but it disagrees with you.
True, but it did do ok with the "why" on some code I gave it, correctly summarizing that it was applying a low and high pass filter to an audio sample.

I suspected that this was largely do to variable names, so I replaced them with names that obfuscated their purpose, but without being intentionally misleading, and it indeed only gave me the "what" without the "why".

I tested again with variable names that were intentionally misleading, as though the code in question operated on images instead of audio samples, and named a function "invert_colors" that did nothing like that at all. Interestingly, it did not take the bait and instead produced a description similar to the previous test.
Unfortunately there is not a video yet. I'll try to add one as soon as possible

> the browser interface is going to get in the way

Glad I’m not the only one who get irritated with browser chrome and other “browserisms” like having to include a bespoke menu system that web apps uses instead of the macOS global menubar because browser menus already occupy it.

Google Docs for instance would be a lot more nice and clean without the clutter of the browser toolbar and redundant menu system eating up all that vertical space. It’s simple enough to hack together a WebKit/Electron wrapper to get you the first half, but you’re stuck with the redundant menubar no matter what.

Actually now that I’m thinking about it, it seems like a massive oversight that the PWA spec doesn’t seem to have anything for desktop menus.

While I have no _expectations_ of free hosting, one example of a project that will be affected is mine – https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/outlinewiki/outline

I have been building this for 5+ years, and offer a community edition for free while the hosted version is paid. Once the community edition starts costing money there will be even less reason to continue supporting it, it already causes a lot of extra work and problems that I'm otherwise uncompensated for.

Chris Tolkien didn't really write anything new from whole cloth, he mostly deleted or married his father's notes and short writings; more editing than creating.

Brian Herbert wrote multiple books from scratch. His father left notes too, but nothing that would give him the ability to write multiple novels.
If almost all the skilled jobs are similarly “overpaid”, maybe that’s just what ordinary good pay looks like.

Some people might be underpaid, and that would be a different angle.

As it is, in the Bay Area, a typical startup software engineer only earns 4-5x what a person that makes burgers at a fast food restaurant makes. (Typically they make $20+ per hour, so $40k+ per year). Despite years of education, monetary investment in education, constant re training, long hours, etc. It doesn’t seem an unreasonable multiple to me, just trying to get a sense of the situation.

Those arguing that we should make less than or around $100k, are we really producing no more value than 2 people making burgers, or one especially fast burger maker?

Also note that wait staff at good restaurants in SF can earn $80-100k.

And even decent outsourced developers in low cost of living countries charge $30-50 per hour (60k-100k per year). With again, less impressive education, and assuming a 40 hour work week which is lower than many engineers in the Bay Area work, and that’s not even for top skilled outsourced work. Try paying less than this now, you’ll pay for it multiple times over later.
It’s the ‘the customer is always right’ philosophy, clearly by someone who has never worked retail or services.
>The dev model of "we've lost track of our dependencies so ship Ubuntu and a load of state" never sat well.

This was my first thought when I learned of Docker.

I have a hard time calling myself an 'Engineer' when there are so many unknowns, that I'm merely playing around until something works. I insist on being called a Programmer. It pays better than 'real' engineering. Why not embrace it? (Credit toward safety critical C and assembly though, that's engineering)

Wish I could actually register, as mentioned in another thread they have both faulty and yet extremely aggressive registration check where they make you send them your ID with a bunch of other things and yet will still reject you based on who knows what.
Also they’re surprisingly expensive: things like spam and cryptocurrency mean that you need a fairly large abuse prevention team which is expensive but has no customer-visible benefits. GitHub has that too but as you said they at least have the rest of the business with which to recoup that cost.
Yes, banks as organizations still have the correct incentives. I'm not sure management does, but 1. it's the responsibility of owners to keep management under control and 2. if management doesn't care about investors surely they would care even less about depositors.

Show HN: Discontent – Extension to combat garbage search engine results
Creator here. In a nutshell this extension is a "Like / Dislike" system but for website results.

I miss the days of things like the YouTube dislike bar, where you can quickly assess if something is good or not.

Currently sitting at ~90 users. To get it off the ground I've scraped the last year of HN to make a set of good links, and used a few content farm blacklists to make a set of bad links. Right now it's semi-useful and should only get better with time.

There are some simple measures in place to prevent spam & abuse, but will cross that bridge if it ever comes.

The rollback of Dodd-Frank was at least nominally bipartisan.

Limiting the feds power is broadly popular with the population. This is one of the outcomes of those desires, Congress representing their constituents wishes seems hard to call a failure just because the outcomes have some negative outcomes (all laws have negative outcomes for someone).
I love it for writing tests. It’s good at picking up patterns, so if I need a bunch of unit tests then I can usually write one test and let it write the rest based on the RSpec descriptions.

I recently had a ticket that required refactoring some code that used net::http from Ruby’s stdlib over to using the HTTP gem. The rewrite was pretty easy to do by hand, but we had a bunch of test cases and rewriting them proved to be a bit painful because the mocks required were quite different.

So I spent half an hour rewriting the first test case with the new shape of mocks. Then I commented out the remaining tests and the AI recognized what I was doing and rewrote the remaining test cases with the new mock structure in seconds.

I treat AI like a junior programmer. I don’t trust it to do the hard stuff, but it’s great for scenarios where I have already established the pattern and I just need someone with basic coding proficiency to apply that pattern to a large chunk of code. It’s amazing at doing the grunt work.
We can argue until the end of time about what we think users want and it’ll never get anywhere.

I’d argue “users crave native experiences” is the engineer thinking. I have friends, family and hundreds of coworkers using Google Docs. No one cares.
