> delete all my comments

The thing which I've found helps me with this is to just delete my account. Besides some subreddit-specific accounts, I generally delete my one main account and start a new one every few months, usually after some nasty interaction with someone on reddit, especially when people start to follow me around. I've had multiple occasions where people start commenting about a disagreement on an unrelated thread/comment I make, even in a completely unrelated subreddit sometimes!

It's such a weird place, if it wasn't for some niche subs I enjoy participating in which I don't think have any parallels elsewhere, I would really prefer to just stop using it entirely.
I use a css script to hide all karma on reddit. Upvote me, downvote me, I don't care about imaginary internet points. The only thing I loathe is posting something factually correct, but unpopular, getting downvoted, and then reddit decides 'you've been doing that too much!' and stops you from posting. No thanks. I'll just close the tab and move on with my life.

I've also found in the dark mode that the background colors of those labels are transparent and I think modified a bit (I'm not sure how to tell) to lower the contrast.

Basically they have this muted pastel look which I know is the stylish thing, but it means there aren't really more then half a dozen distinguishable label colors if that, because the contrast is hindered so much by whatever they've done to it.

I really hope this site doesn't become the next reddit. I don't think a massive influx of new users would be healthy for good faith discussion here.
At least you're admitting it.
It depends what "simple software engineer" means. You can certainly become a consultant who fixes the garbage that GPT4 produces.

The kind of software engineer who just churns existing code for no reason might be replaced. Or exposed. Or perhaps he'll use GPT4 to produce even more churn and get promoted.

Who knows. This industry has horrible practices and rewards some of the worst people.
If everyone flocked to Snapzu, Lemmy, or Aether, the quality of content there would immediately plummet. I'd like my September to end some day.
Anonymization doesn’t just mean “leave their names out”. An entire patient's medical history is in itself personal identifiable information. Instead of googling for “headache”, they now have stored a copy of every medical detail in your life.
On GPT-3.5 and now on GPT-4, I told it a line I could remember from a sonnet, and asked it to give me which sonnet it came from. It failed, and fabricated a sonnet that was a mashup of other sonnets.

It seems like maybe GPT-4 is not good at knowing when it does not know something?

Is this a common issue with LLMs? Also surprising (to me), it seems to give a slightly different wrong answer each time I restart the chat.

Here is the transcript in case you're curious:

```
Me: hello

GPT: Hello! How can I assist you today?

Me: I can remember a line I love from a sonnet, but can't remember which one.

GPT: Sure, I can help you identify the sonnet based on the line you remember. What is the line that you can recall?

Me: "Like a jewel hung in ghastly night"

GPT: The line you remember is from Sonnet 66 by William Shakespeare. The full line is: "And art made tongue-tied by authority, And folly (doctor-like) controlling skill, And simple truth miscalled simplicity, And captive good attending captain ill: Tired with all these, from these would I be gone, Save that, to die, I leave my love alone. But, like a jewel hung in ghastly night, Makes black night beauteous and her old face new."
```

Incorrect, the response is a mashup of at least 2 different sonnets. Still I think it's really impressive how it understood what to do with "I can remember a line I love from a sonnet, but can't remember which one." That's not a well phrased question, or even a question at all, but still it knew what I was getting at.
> IDK what it is about reddit that makes it easy to get sucked into an argument.

Yet another useless definition of "woke". Also if you wrote it exactly as in this comment, then the first sentence is grammatically correct, the second does not compute because of the quotation marks.

It may not be a conspiracy you may just be too stupid to use it. Also it's not a translation app. Also Trump objectively wasn't a great president, he cowered to Putin, mispronounced his own damn country all the time and was the first president to try and overturn an election and incite a coup against the government. Biden at the very least pays lip service to democracy, Trump doesn't. I don't even think that ChatGPT takes any of that into account though.
It might be a black box to you, but it’s not in the same way the human brain is to researchers. We essentially understand how LLMs work. No, we may not reason about individual weights. But in general it is assigning probabilities to different possible next tokens based on their occurrences in the training set and then choosing sometimes the most likely, sometimes a random one, and often one based on additional training from human input (e.g. instruct). It’s not using its neurons to do fundamental logic as the earlier posts in the thread point out.

Reading the press release, my jaw dropped when I saw 32k. The workaround using a vector database and embeddings will soon be obsolete.
HN seemed to be having issues earlier, but I speculate it may have been overflow from people who couldn't be on reddit.

I wonder if it is only reddit, or if there is a cloud service that is acting up. AWS shows green across the board, but hasn't their status page been unreliable in the past?
Yeah I dont understand why people are glad its down. I have an account specifically curated to my interests, where I unsubscribed from all the default subs and only subscribed to things I'm interested in. Theres a lot of great niche communities out there for my hobbies that I've found on reddit.
Don't block, it's so cheap and is equally in bad faith. It means they can't see your comments, it means they can't reply to people who reply to your comments, it's the worst mechanism Reddit has ever implemented.

Mute for sure, but blocking is just petty.
Over years, I have met a lot of founders, many of whom shared challenges they personally faced, many of whom it was heartbreaking knowing there was little to be done to help them.

On same note, having seen similar YC batch and alumni situations play out on HN before, I hope it’s obvious that YC is neither qualified to sort out mental health challenges founders face, nor should they attempt to do so in my opinion. YC to my knowledge doesn’t place limits on the use of its investments in founders —and if a founder felt they needed to step back, pause, or use a fraction of the funds to get professional help, I would be very surprised if the group partners were not supportive of that. Further, given the sensitivity of the topic, I personally don’t feel YC officially commenting would help anyone, and very possible might even be a breach of law depending of the specifics of the situation.

That's also my reaction to all of this, we already have a no-code platform which can do pretty much anything you can imagine and it's called WordPress.
The simplest is probably the registry image: https://docs.docker.com/registry/

The best (automated cleanup, permissions management etc.) in my opinion is something like Sonatype Nexus: https://hub.docker.com/r/sonatype/nexus3/ which also handles various other formats, not just OCI containers.

Others might also suggest looking in the direction of Harbor: https://goharbor.io/ but it's a bit more complex.

IMHO you described the hardest part of an engineer's job: documentation, instructions, requirements, specifications, etc. To get all this, you need to listen to the client, and understand and negotiate with his unrealistic demands. And even when you have all this information, you'll have to sort it and follow all kind of processes before it's useful. I'll be worried when AI can do this.

For now, it seems to be limited to writing Python scripts using a specific API, not something I do for my daily tasks. I'm more worried for people who could have been replaced by a simple script 30 years ago. Also I'm skeptical about whether or not companies will tell all their secrets to this kind of tool (but I could be wrong, Office 365 has all the secrets of the world).
The early version of it before Microsoft forced it into the ground was clearly way stronger. Many people suspected that they were using an internal build of a better model.
You’re answering yourself: a video-aware and speech-aware LLM can be the perfect objective journalist. Writes down facts as it sees and heard them. Does transcription, summarization and fact cross checking in soft real time. The problem is, there’s nowhere to put ads, so the thing will be dialed to clickbait instead… unless the taxpayer sponsors it.
Sure.

> A button/link which sends a request and gets a chunk of HTML back to replace without reloading the whole page

1. My whole app is distributed now. To determine what will render after any given action, I need to go find my backend renderer for this specific endpoint, which itself seems likely to reference another piece of code that it uses as an endpoint, adding a fresh layer of indirection on every single UI interaction.

Also, this HTML renderer logic needs to be aware of the rest of my app, so the reverse is true; when I'm going to write some new UI, I have to go put it somewhere random, associate it with a frontend route and backend endpoint it loads from, and then attach all the possible nested user-actions from this HTML.

Have you heard of separation of concerns? This does the opposite: it joins my rendering concern with my loading concern, and distributes my User-facing concern.

2. Everything is async

You know what I love as a user? When I have to wait for a network trip before the Button I clicked on does anything.

How do you show a loader in HTMX?

3. Graceful async handling

So, you read my complaint #2, and said to yourself: well, I'll simply make a custom Button which upon being clicked can disable further clicks until it is updated about the status of the action it just distributed!

So, real quick: where are you going to put this button so that you can easily reuse it in your other backend renderers? Are you going to write JavaScript to do this? Does it need to communicate with other parts of the app dynamically?

Wow, that sure sounds like it'd be nice if I could write it once in a 'client' folder and easily pass information from its parent to it... It would also be quite cool if I could make the network layer a pure abstraction so it could be mocked...

I know some libraries that help with that outside of HTMX, does HTMX have the toolkit for this stuff?

CONCLUSION

HTMX is "good enough" in the sense that it can produce decent static pages and bolt on a small amount of interaction. But you can't seriously tell me that you want to use UIs that require constant network round trips, and you can't tell me that you seriously want to be writing UIs that constantly require you to eject from the framework to actually make the user interactions feel good.

People who like HTMX dislike good UIs, it's that simple.

>I think the point you're missing is that senior engs in Meta do not just write code. Some of the senior engs almost do not write code at all. They design systems and move complex projects forward

I think your getting off on a different topic. Those guys aren't engineers anymore right? They're more technical managers; or architects.

>So yea, deep language knowledge, while an excellent skill, is not something that defines a senior eng (at least in Meta and I presume in similar FAANG companies).

I agree with this, but this is not what the others are talking about. The topic right now is about python developers. The more wider range role you're talking about here isn't a person with the title "Senior python software developer." Meta likely doesn't have that title.

Additionally, if a company works purely within the python ecosystem of web development, the "architecture" actually doesn't get too complex. Most of this stuff is trivial too, I give it an additional year to learn it.

If you're doing stuff with shared memory and utlra low latency applications then it's a completely different scenario, but you wouldn't be working in python if you had that requirement.
If it is de-identified per HIPAA, little.

OTOH, the more patient info you are putting in, the less likely it is actually legally deidentified.
It can actually manipulate the DOM by writing JS code.

This is really amazing.

> The question is, what will you build with Cheerp?

I don't really know, for now all I want is executing python in the browser like brython, and see if WASM can make things better, at least give more elegant errors.

But other than that, I'd rather dump HTML as a format and have something better suited for it. I already thought about a replacement for HTML, because there are so many things to remove in HTML.

Regarding engineers, I don't think that's true at all — as a simple example, two of the three lead engineers on the Soviet space program were from Ukraine.

> I'm starting to see the absurdity of this post.

It certainly is absurd to ask some simple questions which could be answered numerically for the most of them ... and then people go into some kind of field day to judge my character based on digging through 10s (!!!) of my comment history pages of 600 comments (someone said that number here, I didn't even know, did they write a script to compute it?), to judge my "emotional investment", and to judge me for not wanting to hand out my phone number to email providers, and finally they block my post by "flagging" it so it won't be seen by the moderation team and won't get an actual answer.

It could have been as simple as telling me "The limit is N posts per M minutes", but no, we must have some kind of public character execution instead.
What does "HIPAA-eligible" mean?

EDIT:

I was very curious about this and did a bit of research. The answer to it is squishy. It seems to be mostly a marketing term. The best definition I found was this:

"A service that is HIPAA eligible is one that is capable of being configured in a way that could meet HIPAA compliance requirements, but you have to know how to do it, it doesn’t happen ‘out of the box.’"

https://www.cleardata.com/articles/hipaa-eligible-hipaa-comp...

So it sounds great but doesn't actually mean that much.
If the F-Droid version is the old version, the new one must be incredible!
What exactly “creating the software themselves” means? Does it mean to write binary code? To write assembler? To write software in C? To write software in Golang? To write software in prompts?

I see nothing wrong with an "obsession" with sources.

The www was very much built on sharing http links as a form of citation, no reason not to make use of such an fundamental and established function.

Imho the opposite has become a much worse issue; People casually claiming the most extraordinary things, far outside the realm of opinions, with not even an attempt to source it.
Can OpenAI get HIPAA certification? Perhaps offer a product that has it?

I'd be furious if I found out some professional I'd commissioned had taken a document based on my own personal data, and poured over it themselves looking for errors at the tune of hundreds of dollars per hour, instead of sumbitting it to ChatGPT.

This is the second time in the last couple of days that I've encountered a page hiding the pricing as good as they can.

I wanted to see what this Max-plan costs, so I go to duolingo.com. Nowhere is a "Pricing" link to be found. So I go to "Super Duolingo", because that costs something and therefore should have a price.

"Test 2 weeks for free", "Free | Super | Super-Family" with "Test 2 weeks for free", but nowhere what I'll have to pay after those two weeks.

Click on "Test 2 weeks for free": Submit your personal information for creating an account, no pricing information.

What is this? How much does the Super even cost?

You also have to factor in the cost of land acquisition not just construction.
actually a computer can in fact tell that this function halts.

And while the human brain might not be a bio-computer, I'm not sure, its computational prowess are doubtfully stronger than a quantum turing machine, which can't solve the halting problem either.

It did crash into the drone (at least from the report) it just didn’t take the Su-27 down with it. Which like… if that’s how you’re taking down drones, well… okay then. It doesn’t seem like a great plan to me but you do you.
I'll don't think it's a fallacy. People are more predictable and can be accountable for their actions, and even admit ignorance, eg answering "I don't know ask someone else".

It's worth discussing if we want AIs replacing them - maybe the scalability is better, but these are usually worse.
Absolutely.

For some reason Twitter is pushing the rantings of David Sacks at me. The stream of hysterical crying and whining coming out of that guy is hilarious. Suddenly when shit gets hard we abandon the principles of libertarian thought and start making appeals to think about the poor founders and their families. (And presumably the poor investors)

If it were an evolution in thought it would be one thing, but I’m sure the normal programming of smartass techbro tough talk and whining about big media persecution will resume in a week or two.
I still end arguments with a beautiful "we disagree, it's okay". Such a relief.
If you had full source code that fit into the context, do you think it could reliably answer questions about the code, build unit tests, generate documentation? I ask because that is the software equivalent of what you just described.
To the GP: I'm FANG now, started my career at non-FANG. Largely I agree with this advice, but for a completely set of different reasons.

In particular -> "Going to a FANG and learning toxic habits, like putting yourself above your team and thinking only of compensation/promotions, can make you an asshole for life."

I think you'd be unwise to think that FANG will teach you toxic habits and putting yourself your team. Or if it happens, that other companies on average are better and FANG is the bottom of the barrel.
Luck and the zeitgeist are pretty important. Without those, you have a lot of noise and are basically throwing things at the wall until it sticks.
