Yeah, I didn't get that either, when I read it, but I think what andrewbranch is talking about there[1] is that you might still be able to have problems importing TypeScript code that is using the new "bundle" module resolution — because it may allow other things that Deno doesn't allow.

I don't think he is talking about the problem we are, which is that because Deno requires the .ts extension, Deno doesn't actually work with standard, non-Deno TypeScript code (that imports other standard TypeScript code).

I mean, until now.

I will run some more extensive tests tomorrow or on the weekend, and maybe go comment there if I have something useful to say.

But anyway, it seems to me that if, like me, your problem was "Oh no, I cannot import my code into Deno because I cannot add the '.ts' to my imports without breaking it in other TypeScript use cases" then that problem is solved in TypeScript 5.

I have the same exact problem at work, except the monorepo is bigger and there are a lot of people who might not be excited to change all their import statements just so my own experimental Deno tools can use their code but... step by step. This seems like a big step for my personal TypeScript projects. :-D

If you're freaking out, try this:

Ask ChatGPT to draw a triangle in ASCII, using a code block. Then a square, then a Pentagon, and hexagon.
If you read the article, or know the story of Justin.tv (one of the very earliest YC startups, from before YC was a big thing), you’ll know that he’s a cofounder, not someone who climbed up the ranks via ruthless political maneuvering to get there.

It’s not the “position” he worked so hard for, it was to build a company. Being CEO is a means to doing that, not the end goal. He did that, it is extremely successful, it will probably continue to be successful without him.

He even says it in the article - that for a long time, he wasn’t sure if he could leave and have it continue to function well. As someone who started, ran, and sold a (much, much smaller) company, I understand that viscerally. If you’re somewhat tired of it, it can feel like you’re trapped. But then you work on that, making sure that the things you do get well covered by someone else. And then, one day, there’s nothing it needs you for anymore, and you’re finally free.

> Without Angular, we may very well not have TypeScript today.

Typescript was started at Microsoft by the guy who designed Turbo Pascal and C#, so completely independently from Google's Angular team. Angular had its own "AtScript" and eventually ditched that. Typescript had experimental decorator support well before Angular Team moved from AtScript, because it was a ECMAScript proposal.

Angular had zero influence in the design or success of Typescript. Typescript however does support JSX optionally so one can claim that React DID influence Typescript's design decisions.
> Frankly David, you should know better.

Weirdly making things personal is often an indication of losing, not winning, an argument. Either way, I should know better than to get into debates with brand new anon accounts on HN. Cheers.
yes! haha. They love it. I ping them and see if they want to identify themselves.
I suppose I've never used adaptive cruise control myself to know whether phantom braking is a problem. (Since, to be 100% clear, a combination of adaptive cruise and lane following gets you to level 2.)

You've asked about that feature from people that have a variety of manufacturers' cars?
Do the general populace understand a space on a word processor to be an ASCII (or utf) character though.

Further how would a backwards space work under that model? Wouldn't that jump back to the previous character? But it's not obvious to me that it would obliterate the previous character
Ah thank you for the correction this is good to know! I'll admit I'm not super experienced with them directly.

I think the current LoRAs for Alpaca are reportedly performing a little bit worse - I'm guessing from a lack of optimization so I'm sure it'll improve.

Ah, that's fair. I formulate a similar observation by saying that digital assets inhabit a post-scarcity economy which doesn't work the same as a resource-based scarcity one, and using the same money for both requires more suspension of disbelief than most of us are capable of.
You're being sarcastic, but other people aren't.
I imagine the work gets less stressful when you have FU money. As a CEO you're delegating a lot of the day to day work, and as a subsidiary of Amazon they're probably giving a lot of the macro direction.

So you get into the office (maybe) at 10am (maybe), reading some emails, firing off some responses, maybe taking a call or two. Then a ritzy lunch for an hour. Coming back to some more emails and meetings.

Some days you will be putting out fires all day. But the more mature the company is the less you have to do that. After 15+ years the company should have a mature executive team that can handle all but the biggest fires by themselves.
Iran is the exception that confirms the rule. They were so heavily sanctioned that it became feasible for them to say "screw it, we will do nukes anyway". I won't say that nuclear proliferation is completely stopped, but the system works for the most part. China and Russia are old nuclear powers and them having nukes is expected.

Better counter examples are India and Pakistan, but I don't know the history of their nuclear programs well enough to comment with confidence.

The chemical weapons in Syria were old stockpiles and I'd argue that the use there was not an increase of their use, but an opportunity attack. I don't think that there are many groups who currently have any kind of chemical program and can use it systematically.
> No one is really choosing the specific way the features are manifested in the final AI product.

For current algorithms, yes. If an algorithm has problematic tendencies we can just choose not to use it - or use it in a very controlled and limited fashion.

We cannot rule out that future new AI algorithms might allow us to explicitly set the AI’s “primary directive”.
+1, we had a similar experience using it to hire engineers. It felt like our feedback went into a black hole and they did not change their process.

We had a few months of really painful full interview loops with candidates not appropriate for the positions.
> What I am extremely worried about is that generative AI will pollute the information environment so completely that society will cease to function effectively.

We are not functioning correctly already - given the polarization we see today, specially with politics. Most people are completely misinformed even on basic concepts that used to be taught at schools.

Today this is being accomplished by a small group of individuals, amplified by bots (and then, once an idea spreads sufficiently, it's self-sustaining). AI will make it way, way worse, as you correctly point out.

Now, if the lake is poisoned too much, people will avoid it. Maybe it will destroy a bunch of communication channels, such as social networks.

Now masses may see "AI" as something new. But it's not. It's already integrated into our "modern" civilizations in way more fields than most people knows, sometimes for useful things (triage, computer vision, optimization, automatic guidance of machines, etc), sometimes it's debatable how useful, or for who really it's useful. I think about "social network's" "personalized" "suggestions", conducting people in a real dependency situation.

Nowadays, there is a strong influencing toward centralized and closed chat or requests services that not only do "open-washing" just like "green-washing" works, that only reflects via defined pathways, with convincing language methods, Human built knowledge that may be shared directly. I do not say this method is good or bad. Technically speaking, I think it's good and have a potential of being useful for having a neutral orientation in a huge amount of Human knowledge.

The way it's pushed may also conduct people to "believe" this will be the next indispensable tool for living sanely. Where, maybe it's not. Just like we are living the threat of private "social networks". The main game behind this is opening a "safe" way to shareholders wanting to perpetuate an economical, partly hidden culture as a main objective.

The "reality" "feeling depressing" is perhaps not a good reason to throw more credit, no matter the scenario, just to automatically "feel safer" or "in some right camp" and then, letting the others decide for you. I think we are far from knowing the consequences of non-user controlled tools as "services" that will certainly end to replace their own thinking by something that fits the company and partners behind, one day or another. Thus potentially turning them into externally controlled tools of self servitude for one camp of soul conquest or another, if not fully in the long-term, to certain extents.

That will probably place those products for the masses to a status of power that no one may even think to defy at a certain term and that begins to just "looking cool", "at the page" of self easement. And I join you where you say "it's ultimately up to us as humanity how we integrate AI into our civilization". I think that is true, however it can only be done with a certain, well-balanced awareness of all sides to try considering the real costs to each situations at all terms, plus doing it, really (which clearly seems improbable). We need to take care of this. Taking care constantly of who controls the tools that we are "invited" or "conducted" to use.

The security is also mostly omitted on this topic, scientifically speaking, and this is in itself a potential threat for tomorrow. Now even if the security were to be shown as considered, it remains that it only secures who writes the requirements and performs the verification. So, with those elements, I can maybe, for now, disapprove the strong influence network of people promoting "AI" from in-fact private sponsorship services that will always omit speaking of real costs to their potential subjects.

Edit: typos, enhancements
This implies a command economy, which we definitely don't have. Certainly people are doing these analyses within firms and agencies. Nobody is doing it on a society-wide basis except maybe in China.

> When they do it just makes one think they have zero understanding of the tech.

Its because we don't understand the tech that goes into us, and the people training the AI don't understand the tech that goes into them. or don't act like they do.

In both studies, the best outcome we have right now is that more neurons = smarter. a bigger neural network = smarter. its just stack the layers, and then fine tune it after its been spawned.

We're just doing evolutionary selection, in GPUs. Specifically to act like us. Without understanding us or the AI.

and this is successful. we don't collectively even understand humans of another sex and have spent millenia invalidating each other’s motivations or lack thereof, I think this distinction is so flimsy.
Yeah, usually a "single failure" dooms something that was already on life support.
Garden leave is a pretty imperfect mechanism. Given bonuses/RSUs and benefits, even 100% base salary could represent a 50% compensation cut plus the potential cost of taking a year break mid-career. Sure, some would be happy to sign up but a lot wouldn't really want to be in that position.
Desperate measure to advantage Boeing and its B787 (and future aircraft) which are using electrical power to pressurize the cabin (vs bleed air for Airbus).
This makes sense, but I guess you could still achieve the same effect with only one exposure + a configurable readout offset with a variable resistor or something along these lines?

That’s a pretty solid ‘as long as no one says the emperor has no clothes, he is fully clothed’ line though?

If it was a short period of time (a week?) this was going on, then sure. The emperor darting to the bathroom without his clothes on is unlikely to be a scandal after all.

But even if fed rates dropped tomorrow those bonds will not recover to par, because inflation on their principal amounts has already happened, and their interest rates are too low to ever recover back how much they have lost value barring truly exceptional deflation.

So unless they somehow come up with even more cash on hand to be able to avoid ever realizing those losses (good luck when everyone starts drawing down savings and boomers start retiring more and more), they’re boned inevitably.

Deflation wise, the fed will fight THAT even harder than the current inflation fight they are doing, and that’s relatively easy to combat - print more money. It’s why they’ve been printing money since ‘08.

Since the expectation is that inflation will continue for some time of course makes the math and present value even worse, but there is no plausible situation right now where the expected future dollar value of those bonds will be high enough to recoup a large percentage of their purchase value in today’s or a future dates currency.

That value is gone.

The benefit of a plane based launch is the flexibility

Want to launch from say Israel, currently you can only launch retrograde (to the west), as you can't launch over land (especially countries with questionable friendliness)

You could in theory launch via Virgin One, fly south along the red sea and then launch over the Indian Ocean

Same with launches from the West Coast US -- want to launch Polar, that's fine, you can launch south out of LA (and that's what they do). You can't launch East though, you have to move the rocket from California to Florida to launch.

You don't need to worry much about bad weather at the launch site either. Got rain and lightning in Florida? Unless it's really bad you can still take off in a plane, then launch from above or away from that bad weather
I wonder if you can simply ask ChatGPT to provide a confidence score with each answer it gives.
If this were the system, I'd just stop voting. Which may or may not be a bad thing.
I wonder when will be Typescript done, there is only so much that one can do adding a type system to JavaScript, without starting to become C++ like complexity language, which arguably already is.
And I’m thankful it can’t be up to the executive branch (who ever is the president) to make such drastic decisions.

> Unlike in the 80s - most programmers no longer need to know assembler/machine code to do their jobs. The skill floor has been lowered - so that programmers like me can get a job.

Assembly isn't that hard. You'd have still gotten a job, but your employer just wouldn't have gotten as much productivity out of you (so they'd either have had to hire more programmers or write less software).

There's a difference between being able to withstand a bank run and being fully capitalised. To be fully capitalised the value of your assets needs to be greater than the value of your liabilities. You are allowed to value your assets at fair prices when you work this out. SVB did not have enough money by this measure and that is very very unusual for a bank. Despite this, you are right that even well capitalised banks cannot survive a bank. To survive a run you need to find a buyer for all of your assets right away, and you quickly run out of buyers, forcing the price down.

Imo, the problem isn't really the existence of AI but how it's used.

And there's plenty of ways to censor corporations from using AI for various tasks. Corporations automating everything by using unaccountable AI is what I'm most afraid of. No recourse, just talking to unrelenting machines for anything from denied loans, insurance claims, health insurance claims to contesting frivolous Comcast bills.

My currently biggest nightmare would be easy to legislate away, if they don't lobby hard enough...
Yup! that's the one.
I built an app which instantly generates a landing page from your product idea
Hello everyone,

I hope you're all doing well today.

Allow me to introduce my latest product, PageGenie. I developed it over the last month, and it's a SAAS tool that helps you generate landing pages for your products almost instantly using technologies such as GPT and DALL-E. All you have to do is provide a product idea (such as Chocolate Covered Strawberries), and PageGenie will create an entire landing page in a matter of seconds, complete with auto-generated images, hero section, features section, FAQs, and a Gallery section.

If you're interested in giving it a try, head over to https://pagegenie.io/. In addition to the instant landing page builder, I've also added a no-code editor that allows you to customize the landing pages that have been generated by the AI. You can swap out the AI-generated images with your own product images, edit the content, and even add new UI elements using our Drag and Drop functionality.

I'm eager to hear your feedback on whether you would like to see PageGenie developed further and any suggestions you may have. Thank you!

> I think politicians and organisations might need to cut their digital feedback loops (if authentication proves too much of a challenge) and rely on canvassing IRL opinion to cut through the noise.

They'll just get the results of "ChatGPT 17.0, write and produce an ad and astruturfing campaign to convince a cohort having the traits [list of demographic factors and opinions] that they should support position X and reject position Y" (repeat for hundreds of combos of demographic factors and opinions, deploy against entire populace) parroted back at them.

"Yeah but every position can do that, so it'll all even out" nah, the ones without a ton of money behind them won't be able to, or not anywhere near as effectively.

Basically, what we already have, but with messaging even more strongly shifted in favor of monied interests.
Engino looks interesting for older kids. But I think that Lego compatible stuff would be way more fun with younger kids.

I have been involved in the Lego MOC and Alt Build community recently via rebrickable.com and I disagree that the creativity is gone.

Also, tools like webrick.com make it possible to build stuff without paying the Lego markup. I really think that the Lego system is something the whole world owns at this point due to patents being expired and it should be that way.
absolutely - I'm really not trying to detract from Lena Dunham's work ethic (she's a prolific creator) nor from the thrust of the article which is encouraging other people to be prolific creators.

-- it's just that if someone else is writing a ton and wondering why they can't succeed, it's helpful to understand what other ingredients are involved.

I also think there's some amount confidence in one's prerogative to create and publish, when for example both of one's parents are also in creative fields. Confidence that creating is worth the effort and confidence that if one's creations improve in quality that there will be help to find an audience.
