Seriously — I’ve not seen anything remotely like what the author is talking about.

Sure, there are occasionally people who aren’t very quick or effective at their job, but they’re not the majority, and most everyone knows who they are. And those people don’t tend to get promotions, and they don’t get referrals when all of us hard working (normal) people move on to the next place.

> How did they get so rich?

I don't know exactly, maybe you tell me?

If it were because of Neutrality, then surely Ireland, Austria, Malta must have become equally rich. But ... they aren't. So certainly other factors than just neutrality contribute to it.

I think you are missing my sarcasm. I don’t think every human can design a well thought out language, let alone an LLM. I was trying to point out that we are more than this. More than what humans are being demoted to in some HN comments recently. My problem is with some characterizations of humans here.

100%. This is literally what we’re working on next right now. We just had to start somewhere and with the thing that enables us to do all the other things. We have developed quite a bit of that already inside our own product (e.g. account linking, an editor + live preview, a UI rendering layer, pre-defined connectors, etc) and are in the process of extracting and productizing this, so it’s all part of Scriptable and it’s broader vision (Extendable)… We refer to these things as the batteries we’re missing right now :)

> That's kind of neat -- what other even more creative ideas do you have for deeply integrating powerful LLMs directly into the language itself?

> [GPT lists 7 ideas]

My idea would be not to automate testing, but rather the implementation: the human writes the tests and the LLM writes the code to make them pass.

Automating testing is exactly the wrong way around: we let the LLM choose its own end goals. We'll be better off if we choose the end goals and task the LLM with achieving them.

Hi just had a look at every comment you've made and every starter page on your site. I'm still lost and don't understand what this is, even though I see some people are already understanding and using your product, which is baffling me more.

I think I'm missing where your product runs and who is running what and why they are running a curl command, and if I'd have to make changes in my application to support this.

> If you can’t find black people to hire, it means black people are not having problems finding employment.

Yeah, no, that's not how that works dude. That's so incredibly far from reality I don't even know where to begin.

> This idea that black people are needed to provide some sort of black perspective on every team is so weird to me.

Of course you can't fathom why an outside perspective is necessary... You don't suffer discrimination. You've never needed to care about how black people are treated, or what opportunities they have, or how their lack of representation in all walks of life hurts them. It's hurting them, not you.

The reason we care and want black representation on our teams, is we care about black people. That's pretty much it. There are other reasons ("diverse experience provides a wider perspective", "better serving customers who aren't white", etc) but the main one is just.... Wanting to be less shitty to black people. Expending slightly more effort to find and hire them is the very least thing we can do to move toward a more equitable world.

> the type of black people who are qualified to work in top tier tech companies have more in common with the upper classes and college elites than they have with the stereotypical inner-city poor kid raised by a single mom.

Um. No... So much wrong with that paragraph... Please don't repeat that at work... You would probably get repremanded, possibly fired. Holy crap dude.

Besides all the weird racial and class assumptions there... Just for your edification, from my own anecdotal experience, the black people I work with have very little in common with me, culturally, class-y, etc. We get along fine, but we do not have anywhere near the same background or experience, and I have a million times more privilege.

And besides all that, a lot of people in tech, who aren't black, don't come from an upper class or elite colleges. Maybe they do at FAANG? (If they do, I really don't wanna work there)
I fully agree with your sentiment.

However I want to add that it does the guesswork and the presentation surprisingly well to a degree that it’s effective in certain contexts.

The more people think of this as a tool that they can use and master, the more they will benefit from it.
It is an excessive generalization. Anyone who has worked in tech for some time knows that some companies are like this. Heck, even some departments are, while others aren't. It just depends on where you work. Likewise, blaming all of this on agile is a generalization - some orgs use agile well and some don't. I think those which hire consultants and follow the "book" very closely do worse. Make it work for your team's needs, adjust accordingly.

All these GPT articles and comments are going to age so quickly. I finished writing my YA Sci-fi book only a month ago. I already accounted for ChatGPT which appeared during the week I was finishing the novel and put back its release a few months. I'm almost afraid to write the follow up novel as events are moving quicker than my imagination.
Totally agree, it’s an awesome app. The name clash is a bit unfortunate and we’re already considering alternative names.

> Which means that third world countries could have energy independence.

Using a dirty bomb that first word countries engineered for them to magically nerf their ability to be energy independent?

I don’t think any form of LLM is going to make this nightmare a reality… but I suppose if something could dream up a worse idea, ChatGPT could.

In Japanese cities, it's nearly impossible to find a place to rent that allows large dogs. Landlords have strict weight limits on pets. Out in the countryside, you can get away with big dogs, but most of the population lives in the cities.

There's other problems too: if you have a tiny dog in the city, you can put it in a carrier and bring it on the train/subway with you. You can't do that with a large dog, so you're barred from using trains, which means you have to drive when you want to go somewhere with your dog, or take a taxi ($$$$, assuming you can find one that allows the dog). A large portion of the population doesn't have a car, because it's very expensive to park it, and even if you do have one, where are you going to go? There's very little parking and it's expensive. So having a large dog is a huge restriction on your lifestyle.

Basically, a large dog in the city is a huge luxury and a status symbol, because it shows you're really rich. A small dog is also a luxury and status symbol, but it's much more affordable and doable for middle-class people.
"Adopt, don't shop" is very trendy in the US right now, and many shelters ran out of desirable dogs during COVID and had to ship dogs in from other states or even other countries. It seems very similar to what you describe in Germany, where desirable dogs get snapped up immediately and shelters end up being 90% pitbulls or pit mixes with behavioral issues.

I spent 20minutes being gaslighted by it trying to convince me some very obvious false logical statement in set theory is true. It wouldn't for a second admit any doubts and would just say it's sorry I'm confused and that it'll explain it again more simply.

This thing is not good for developing any useful theories other than a creative crutch.
Depends on where you draw the lines. Exhaustion of resources stopped WW1. Those resources include money, material, and men.
The interesting part of the exchange is the contrast between the surface level syntax of the exchange and the semantics below. It reminds me of teaching in a lot of ways. The level of polish on the immediately apparent surface level of the conversation is very high: reasonable tenents, good justification and ability to explain them.

But then applying them directly into an example falls down a bit. The language is a bit of a mismash and parts of it might not work semantically. The use of actors looks a bit out of place, and raises a lot of questions about how the memory management and scheduling is working under the hood. Despite the bold aims in the tenents thre is nothing in the language exposed so far that addresses them: why would the language produce more modular code in the large? what features of the syntax would increase the level of abstraction in code written? etc etc

Overall this would warrant a (barely) passing grade by modern standards, i.e. it can regurgitate the material succesfully but without demonstrating any deep understanding. I find the result quite interesting as it demonstrates how much of what we judge to be quality is actually fitting a particular pattern of response (w.r.t a specific field of study) rather than exploring the material more deeply.

I like the use of the arrows in the function definitions though :) I've seen that somewhere before and will be "appropriating" it for the project that I'm currently working on.
> And that's how we have a police state. Honestly, emotions and laws really don't mix, that's how we have more people incarcerated both per capita and in total numbers than any other country in the world.

Not quite. Second to China by total number, sixth per capital. “Land of the free” my arse. See:

But… traffic laws isn’t how you got there. Most of the rest of the developed world has stricter traffic laws, lower rates of car accident fatalities, and much lower incarceration rates.

>Part of the beauty of living with nonhumans is the invigoration of sharing understanding and cooperation across species.

I don't see this with dogs at all. People with dogs are basically slaves to the dogs; their entire life revolves around the dog. It's absolutely no different than having a small toddler, except that you can bring toddlers with you places. I don't see how it's healthy or productive to not be allowed to leave your home for more than 6 hours because your dog will destroy stuff or pee or poop if you're gone too long, you can never go on a vacation, everything in your daily life has to be planned around the dog. How this ever got normalized, I have no idea, but it wasn't like this a generation ago.
I'm guessing this generalization is more true the bigger the company is?
Said crypto business was being actively investigated by US prosecutors and the SEC. As a potentially criminal enterprise it’s no wonder that it can’t be part of a sale:

https://www.reuters.com/markets/us/signature-bank-faced-crim...
This is down to company culture. I've worked in places that encouraged hard work by staying out of my way and giving me the tools I need to do the job, and I've worked in places where breaking the curve isn't simply frowned upon, it is actively prevented with micromanaging and office politics.

Specifically, I worked at the first type of company, which exited and sold my product to the second type of company. My product was credited with turning new company's profits around at an all hands meeting, but was shortly after critically crippled by a reduction in hardware by the IT dept. The product manager sided with them. They took away 50% of my database cores and disk space and told me to figure it out. The next two years were spent "optimizing" around the fact that they crippled the product at the hardware level, and sales of the product stagnated. It hasn't grown since. It can't, it doesn't have the hardware necessary to grow any larger than it is now.

So there's nothing to do but free up disk space every so often by reindexing tables so it doesn't collapse entirely. No features or bug fixes will ever make it grow larger. They want to grow a tree in a flower pot.
Yeah my experience is people who have nothing contribute tend to make frenzied efforts to LARP as people who do something. Often creating needless busy work for others, or creating constant messes for others to deal with. Usually those people are at least in middle management, if not in upper management, so when people are trying to fix or ameliorate the damage they've done, they can't even stand up and say that that's what they're doing for fear of offending these peoples fragile egos. Alternatively, if the culprits are not in management, then management has hired them, but simply may not willing to admit they made a hiring mistake so will deal with any information from subordinates as simple personality issues for the employees to solve themselves.

As a result, the people that work have to take on themselves an additional unpaid responsibility the actual restorative work or, at the very least, the emotional labour of pretending the mess being cleaned up wasn't made by someone, and just fell out of the sky.

This leads to a syndrome called "burnout" and "staff turnover" far more often than it leads to "open revolt". You can't have an open revolt of one (that's just called "a mad shouty fucker who can't hack it"). And you can't come together with others to revolt if you're unsure to what extent people have internalized the state of affairs as being their own fault, or at least, being something that is not okay to be discussed (either for fear of retaliation, or they've internalized the notion that it's an unsolvable personality conflict and the done thing is to be polite).
>I've never seen a civil engineer say they hate how we built bridges.

You must not have spoken with any of the civil engineers I've spoken with. They all describe an absolute wasteland of arbitrary and capricious regulations, competing stakeholders, and last minute requirement changes that require extensive redesign and often very expensive rework.

Software engineering really isn't all that different from all engineering, for better and for worse.

You probably never had to work with one of the 99% of programmers in the world that are not of your level (I am assuming it is high, otherwise you might just be very scared saying all this, and rightfully so), but me, working in the fortune 1000 company space, worked with many. Most of my colleagues can readily be replaced by gpt-4 today as far as coding and documentation goes. They make the same errors as you noticed gpt make (which I have to fix usually), only gpt does it in seconds vs hours and practically for free. By replacing all these people, I don’t have to build in the overhead of communicating with them (I just copy the jira task in gpt with some context and a few seconds later I have something better than most my colleagues write in 2-3 hours, on a good day), and they are happier doing nothing anyway. The company won’t fire them probably as managers get paid more and promoted more ‘managing’ more people.

This is not an exception either; teams like mine exist in every large enterprise. I worked in several of them and this AI makes life so much better. Let’s not pretend it makes certain outsourcing countries not fully obsolete though, to the tune of 10s of millions+ programmers, data entry workers, text producers (bloggers for seo, docs no one reads etc) and more are mostly all already worse than gpt3.5 and 4. Wait for 6 or 7.

They have things like "Tafel" like in Germany, they have students that pay lots for their flats but have little income, they have homeless people ... the idea that there is no poverty, or no risk-of-poverty doesn't make sense, even when you don't know reports like the one I posted.

Oh, and not everyone can drive to Italy or Germany to enjoy 50% cheaper prices for groceries.

One doesn't exclude the other. You can be poor, and still be better off compared to some dysfunctional state.

I'd be very surprised if that's the explanation and would rather suspect something like the "noisy GIFs"[1], where a strong visual cue may cause the brain to attach a sound that sounds reasonable.
