Yes, generalizing a specific concrete case into a universal principle is difficult in this case, as it is in every case, of everything. Did you have a particular reason to bring that up other than to deflect from the actual topic at hand?

Anyway I won't try to make the point that every company needs a permanent press team. But twitter certainly does, and that's what we're talking about!

What leads you to believe that fizzbuzz is a relevant litmus test for competent software developers?
The point is that the interface to Bloop (or whatever 3rd party SaaS product) is just plain text. In programming parlance I would call this a facade [1] on top of GPT-4. The benefit is that you, the end user, can just continue typing things like "Where do we create our database pool?" in a search box, but under the covers Bloop can use GPT-4, but then eventually upgrade to GPT-5, GPT-6, or some other much better currently-super secret competitor version.

>I do have the feeling everyone here more or less agrees this was the only option.

It was certainly not the only option. The Swiss seem to bury everything that was once important to them. They are not truly neutral anymore, and now they have let one of their oldest banks fail. The image of Switzerland as being a place of stability and smart decisions takes a big hit.
No, I think he/she meant Swiss Taxpayers have had things shoved up their bottom.

I would like also to understand the amount of startups funded in 2021 (or around) that relies on GPT-{n} now. They pivoted or found out that they solution was much easier with GPT-{n}?

Also, why as a customer would care if you use GPT or something else? It is because it is a buzzword?

How so? Is this a feature for people who have a Reddit account?
Until a hundred or so years ago globally, and still almost everywhere - with the exception of the richest countries - kids enjoy themselves in their 50s and 60s while sharing space and time with the elderly.

No isolation, no robots, no aimlessness for the elderly as they continue contributing while imprinting the history of their lineage into the younger generations.

The fast food approach to birth, living, aging and dying may not be the best possible approach.
It's beside the point, but I think you're forgetting that Java was trendy 20 years ago. That didn't change until Ruby and Python came on the scene a few years later.
In the general case, I assume it's mostly just bad coding practices, and developers not testing how their site performs with an ad or cookie blocker active.

This article was very click baity. Supposedly tech workers are getting invasive cosmetic surgery because they look at themselves all day on Zoom. The author highlights an insecure man who says he was border line suicidal. The reader is left believing that fringe online culture is making young men engage in drastic surgeries to be chad like.

Here is an alternate hypothesis: People with expendable income, or the insecure, are paying for cosmetic surgery just like they always have.
Reddit's Favorite Products in One Place
This is great. Well most companies I migrate to the cloud are not running a single workload that fits on a single server.

Most companies that save a lot by moving to the cloud are the ones which have several workloads, multiple products, teams, and verticals. They got security requirements, compliance, logging requirements to name a few.

So yeah, if you only consider a most basic business that has a single website with a single use case and non of the above then Hetzner is a great option.
You are right. I use KMS sometimes, but that’s server side encryption. KMS protects a master key. It doesn’t protect data encryption keys encrypted with that master key. Those keys are exposed outside HSMs, in places like S3 in RAM or sometimes disks. Further, the encryption and decryption of data are done outside HSM. So, I know my disk encrypted with KMS is not protected from AWS. But I guess the audits help here.

Also, client side encryption works for things like backups. End to end encryption rules out a lot of features. Therefore lot of companies store data in plaintext (data base, web servers, user facing services etc).

No offense taken at all :) these are some interesting times we live in with the power chatgpt gives us.

The dream is ultimately to leverage chatgpt as a fuzzy text assistant to 10x productivity and I think combining the unix CLI which is optimized for text is the best way to do so.

It is also one of the great powers of the unix CLI that there are many roads that lead to rome.
Kinda makes me sad that I read this, saw the date and then thought "I hope this person is still alive". 24 years is a long time. I quite enjoy content like this, especially the tagline (maybe a definition of a word that I don't know?): Fluxus: "Unfettered play in search of uncharted insights."
No OP, but I take photographs of infrastructure stuff, especially if I think I might later want to investigate what the deal is. So e.g. I don't have a photograph of the view from the tourist elevator which comes out of a fake chimney on what was Battersea Power Station in Central London (London's electricity was once supplied by huge coal power stations right in the city, today Bankside is a world famous modern art gallery "Tate Modern", while Battersea is basically a mall plus apartments), because you can presumably buy that on a postcard, but I do have a photograph of the interior of a service elevator which accesses that area because I was interested in how it behaved when the idiots running the attraction overloaded that elevator.
> It’s common beginner gamedev thinking that making things more realistic makes them better. It’s only fun if it’s fun. Realistic is usually != fun.

As another case in point: movement speeds in most first-person 3D games are unrealistically fast (like, walking at 10 mph, running at 20+ mph), because realistic movement speeds would make navigating around the game world painfully slow.
Which leads us to the very uncomfortable fact, we want to ban TikTok for the same reason they ban the likes of Facebook, Google etc - because governments (including ours) uses it for citizen data-mining and mass crowd control.

We know how dangerous TikTok is in their hands because we know how valuable Facebook, Google etc is in ours.

Are you talking about your time selling cars? Have you actually seen a software engineering organization work by paying commission/piece-rate for the completion of tasks?

> And it would be worth trying IMO, because the potential for productivity improvement is insanely high. Dumber things have been tried (codling tech workers).

It's not worth trying, I wouldn't be surprised if it hasn't been tried many times before. It's a bad idea that's easy to think of, and appeals to certain kinds of prejudices and misunderstandings. I've spend enough time talking about it.

By the way, have you ever read the classic software engineering book PeopleWare? If you haven't, you should.

I ride an e-bike and I'm very fond of it, but it's a transitionary solution. What will propagate in cities within twenty years is almost all EV's with covered roads (no poisonous gases) and 'cars' that take up a half of a current lane and can carry three people at most. The car market will split between 'long distance' similar to today's cars and 'city cars' that are tiny compared to today. This will happen because EV's can happily scale to a much smaller size than ICE cars can and consequently will be much more practical.

That puts the demographic decline into overdrive.

About the best I can come up with off the cuff would be:

Self-host your own LLM (use one of the freely available ones, possibly including the leaked Facebook Llama stuff) and allow unlimited free experiments / tests / whatever with that. Offer a (very?) small number of free experiments / tests / whatever against the live OpenAI API. Support paid subscriptions from day 0 for people who really want to jump in and do a lot of heavy stuff with GPT-4.

Another thought is to record a screencast of yourself running some demos against the live OpenAI API and put that video up on the page instead of, or in addition to, assuming that the site itself has to be free initially.
You can take them on overground trains, though that's kind of restricted at rush hour. I imagine people mostly either cycle from their homes or leave the bike near a station.

To be clear, you're correct. That was this current wave's web3. Once the bubble burst, though, money stopped being so easy. That's the period we're about to come to now.
Once you sign that stuff, your overall compensation goes down forever. Your raise and bonus will less since it's based on your overall salary, which is now cut if you sign.

Then when the company lays you off, your severance package is even less due to the same reasons as above.

The whole thing is going to have cascading effect, and since you can't predict when you'll be laid off given how cavalier they've been doing it so far, better not to sign it. Seems like the company is trying to cut costs before laying off again to save even more money.

And even if you are laid off because you didn't sign, at least you'll have the satisfaction that you didn't bend over backwards for their crap. Staying true to yourself is what you'll regret the least in the long run.
The problem is to gain political power you have to out compete others for money and votes.

Understanding a problem, and being able to hold on to power while making the hard decisions is a classic unsolved problem in politics.

But it's infinitely harder with very few (two!?!) high centralized litmus-tested groupthink political parties, incentivized to lock up power unilaterally, and marginalize the power of other parties, not skills conducive to governing.

And also infinitely harder with unlimited spending by corporations (who are not citizens, and don't share the interests of citizens), where tiny groups of executives get to leverage all their companies resources toward tilting the political field in their favor, in order to get massive bonuses for feeding insatiable shareholder demand. But without reflecting any of the decency that shareholders might actually have.

It's the moloch beast. The whole system is the problem, but it's near impossible to improve the system's design because it will fight that at every step.

It mindlessly cares about its own survival. Which is how it came to be.

Even if every single person in the system actually wants to do the hard things that will keep the planet in good shape.
sorry! on a previous post, someone encouraged me to just post when Codeium was relevant, didn't realize the norms around launch threads.

"Data" is not the plural of "anecdote."
Gradle literally creates a configuration from a script, which it can later use to build the project. It is absolutely trivial to use different proxies in different environment based on env vars, local files, etc.

Gradle is not too liked (android's overly complex builds probably give it a bad name), but it is an absolutely capable build system.
I don't see Groovy competing for attention. People who want to have a Rails like development experience on the JVM is a completely different market than the usual Spring Boot stuff or legacy code that still uses xml hibernate definitions. Yes, I still have to deal with that.

Also the Java codebase is significantly slower because raw Hibernate is terrible and should never be combined with JSF.

Meanwhile with grails your only performance worry is that each field plugin template is its own class, which puts immense pressure on the class loader which has to do the non envious job of loading a thousand classes.

Despite significant amounts of indirection and excessive use of hidden reflection to abstract over entity/domain classes, the parts I expected to be slow are never the ones you would expect. CompileStatic, etc is almost never worth it.

Groovy competes more with Ruby than with Java.

Capitalism is the most successful economic system ever created and is responsible for more human happiness, prosperity and health than anything else. I'm not sure where all the anti-capitalism rhetoric is coming from lately. You really think there is more human happiness in North Korea or in Russia under Stalin? Maybe read up on your history.

This is really cool. I'm in the branding phase of an app on the side at the moment, and I absolutely loathe trying to pin down the name and the logo because it is dark alley after dark alley until you reach some okay-enough state to launch with.
Great argument.

Do you like capitalism, where everyone gets unequal outcome? Like in Liberia, South Sudan or Chad?
Not sure where you take your optimism from but the network effects global warming is causing are not to underestimate. There's been plenty of research that we're talking about several threats to modern civilization at once where each of them alone could already be disastrous. And chances are high that there will emerge additional effects along the road we don't even know about.

The argument of "look back, it always got better in average" is ignoring the fact we're dealing with a global chaotic situation in a world that fragile, it is already shaking because of interrupted supply chains due to a pandemic or a secondary bank for techbros going down.

We have no clue what we'll be dealing with in 30 years but what we know, it's definitely not gonna be good.
>"There's less red tape to getting infrastructure provisioned"

Because companies do not like things going into assets category. Instead rent dedicated servers on Hetzner or wherever else it is price competitive and see red tape disappear.

>"So there's an incentive for developers to push to use a cloud so they can grow into their next role."

This is very lame argument. I am developer and a business and do understand both sides but sorry I run a business to make money, not to give them to Amazon and definitely not to be playground where developers can play with Amazon tech at owner's expense.
Congrats on the launch! How do you plan to solve distribution if you're not integrating with IDEs anymore?
The desire is to not be destitute and have access to services including education, not to be in a city as such.
Peoples lives have been improving long before the green revolution started. Also, global yields aren’t particularly threatened by global warming due to the overwhelming surplus we currently have there’s a huge buffer before problems start.

To be clear yes some declines are likely in some areas for some crops. But 2100 is expected to have a much larger problem with obesity than crop failure.
Easy. $10,000/month city taxes to the employer for each employee in office. Proceeds will be used to offset carbon emissions and fund transportation infrastructure.
The issue is that we crossed those previous thresholds and ... the world kept improving?

If you look at sites like Our World in Data then nearly all metrics of human progress have dramatically improved over the past century, while temperatures increased 1°C.

So it isn't clear that another degree increase will lead to catastrophe. The numbers are round and arbitrary. Our increased wealth and technology has improved lives far, far more than the increased temperature has diminished them, and I don't see why that trend won't continue.
I do think Horizon would fare better with the same tech (features/capabilities) but a different look to it. I've hung out in it a bit and certain spaces kind of evoke the old feeling back when I was in college and hanging out at an apartment or around a campfire and just quietly listening or chatting with other people bullshitting with each other. And I also got to go to a 'club' where people were dancing around a DJ another time.

I'm a bit too old to feel comfortable doing that in person anymore. So it was nice to have that feeling again, as fleeting as it was.

Too bad it has to be in an environment that looks like it came out of the PS1 era with the blandest art direction possible.

Marcan is very busy with a lot of other things, like upstreaming patches to the Linux mainline and improving platform support.

He's been clear that he's not Asahi Lina... and he's also not a GPU hacker as far as I know.
I think that is probably the right way to go. We have a put a few things on AWS which really don't fit there too well, all on the benefits of shutting down our on-prem estate, 5 years later we still have an on-prem estate.
Because the claim is predicated on the wrong thing.

A company like uber is not looking at the price of a server but looking at the TCO of the products living in multiple verticals. TCO includes many things.

Older usage of the word does not include amusing coincidences such as this. It used to be used to describe speech which intentionally meant the opposite of its plain meaning for humor or emphasis, such as sarcasm, or in dramatic context a situation where the audience has greater awareness than a character.

Words change and this is a meaning everyone seems to want I guess. I was just pointing out that once you go down this route, its pretty hard to differentiate between what is ironic or not because its a broad and subjective definition.

Your assertion does not make sense to me. Your definition is that the situation is ironic because a slightly broader statement of that situation is ironic? It sounds like you are just saying its ironic because it seems ironic. All that means is that it gives you a feeling which you associate with that word. The reason it seems ironic is that the unexpected outcome of a "life-saving" thing actually resulting in injury, is amusing, because it is the opposite of its intention. In fact almost every time something has a net positive influence on overall outcomes, there will be cases where some outcomes are worse. If you are shot and the surgeon goes to perform life-saving surgury, but it turns out you have an allergy to the anesthetic and it kills you, is that ironic? A doctor who was intending to save you actually killed you. I don't know about this definition but I guess its the one we're stuck with. I'll probably just call it an amusing coincidence though.
that's fair - the point was less about the model and more about the fact that your code is not sent anywhere because it all happens locally

Her tweet was, "A top climate scientist is warning that climate change will wipe out all of humanity unless we stop using fossil fuels over the next five years."

Not that far off from, "We're all doomed in five years," because we definitely did not stop using fossil fuels, and in my opinion, wiping out all of humanity would count as doom.
