> I may be showing my age but there was a time where companies had new hire programs and OJT where entry level workers could learn the job and learn the job the way the company wants you to learn it.

Why as a hiring manager would I waste time with a junior dev that does “negative work” knowing that by the time they get productive they would leave instead of poaching a former junior dev from another company?

Fighting VPN criminalization should be Big Tech’s top priority, activists say
I have some success if in each subsequent prompt I include a reminder about which letters ChatGPT has guessed, and accumulate and present everything a bit like a game of hangman.

That should be prompted, but it's lazy about sorting through it's own outputs like this.

Say you explain the rules and it guesses, "pecks",

> P E _ _ _

> The word contains a C

> The word doesn't contain K, S

Re-promoting and accumulating those details like this, ChatGPT 3.5 managed to solve yesterday's wordle successfully, but it took 10 tries to land on this prompting method.

Maybe more parallel GPTs instructed like, "find 5-10 key facets of reasoning about the problem presented", and then "extract those facets from the conversation, organize them into a table, and use them to supplement decision-making" might help prevent the needed parameters from blowing up too much.
The phenomenon you are seeing is present at all large organizations. I promise you that there are thousands of people at Google who do very little.
This is true, but I don't think this directly disputes my point of having human-to-human interaction and trained professionals working with young children.

Would it be possible to do all that's needed for young children with just a screen? I'm not so sure. The issue isn't necessarily the content, but the behavior of the child and having a person there to teach and correct behavior.

Technology plus teachers is effective. I apologize if my argument came across as no technology for young children - I'm just saying that having JUST technology for young children is difficult.

I know many people that are teachers of young children and they use technology. Kids have Chromebooks at first grade and are learning things like programming, using the internet, determining if an article on the internet may be lying to you, determining if a website's main goal is to sell something to you, becoming a good digital citizen, etc. All of that is very important!

It's also important to have a teacher in the room to teach students how to use their Chromebook, how to open it, how to physically interact with technology, how to ask each other for help, etc.
My experience: Psychological orphans with a basic income.

"Psychological orphans" i.e. kids who had shitty parents and learned to adapt to survive. Then this behavior became a habit and a game.

"Basic income" i.e. kids from middle and upper middle class backgrounds so there was no food poverty in the family and long term thinking was possible by the kid, even in the context of the dysfunctional setting.

The above is true for me and all of the high growth tech founders I know on a very personal level (could be selection bias in who I connect deeply with though).
This probably can be solved with better tooling. ChatGPT is probably "less confident" when it comes to these kind of false positives and could say so explicitly.

What I think is happening with people though, is there is a missing context. With a google search that doesn't return the expected results, you can clearly see it. The results are for unrelated things and you know you need to amend your approach to try something else. When you get linked to some kind of misinformation article ... people do complain and are upset. With ChatGPT you sometimes are missing the feedback to know that further work is required to get the desired outcome.

You mean like Huawei in the 5G market?
I didn't learn any of those things in my CS undergrad degree over 20 years ago, so this isn't some kind of "kids these days" thing, I don't think.

Rather, none of those things are in fact foundational to the field of "Computer Science" -- it's not a programming/software engineering program or apprenticeship. For better or worse (and you clearly think worse!).

OP, I'm guessing you do not have a CS degree?
That’s not accurate
Well, .5 C degree increments in average temperature are big enough to be qualitatively different, so that's why we use them. Hitting 1.5 C includes some things things like "All the ice in the arctic melts in the summer which really sucks for local wildlife" but nothing with huge negative effects on humans. 2.0 C includes "Sea level rise wipes some small island nations off the map", though, which made it of particular concern to said island nations during negotiations.

Probably, the climate is a complex system and we've never had a ringside view of CO2 levels rising this rapidly so there's really a large degree of both upside and downside uncertainty in all of this. Probably hitting 2C just means a few refugee crises and no disasters that'll effect most of humanity but we can't be sure.
The Technology Skills Every Employee Should Have Today
If you're nearby, I highly recommend going to California Extreme at least once in your life. There's a great collection of old Pinball and Arcade games you can play for a nominal weekend charge. It's always filled with knowledgeable folks that are excited to see their games in play. You'll find a larger selection from a variety of local hobbyists.

Sadly, I've since moved from the area, but always think back on some great times there.

I would love to make a bet with you, and I'd be willing to, but I really don't think I'll get to collect.

As a consumer why would I care? If anything signing up through Apple means I have all my subscriptions in one place with only a click away from cancelling. The only reason I moved Disney+ off of my iCloud was to get a $7 monthly rebate from AMEX.

All of the services that I’ve used don’t charge 30% less if you skip Apple. I’m sure there are examples where it is cheaper.

At one point in time very recently I had to actually call newspapers and magazines to get a subscription cancelled. These were well known like Economist and WSJ.
"That still mystifies me: The 6502-equivalent of an if-clause was branch-not-equal (BNE), but how did that work in reality? What's happening on the silicone then? How can a lifeless thing make a decision? Never really understood whats beneath the turtles."

My itch didn't stop after learning BASIC or machine code, I wanted to know what has deeper down. After reading the Zacs Z80 book, this was my next port of call and is still a damn good teaching aid on how microprocessors actually work, all the way from transistors, flip-flops, boolean logic, memory, address & data buses, timing, logical shifting, adding, multiplying etc.

It's still on my bookshelf and will probably get passed to my granddaugher if she shows any interest.

Thank you! Now that you’ve provided sources, I can evaluate your claim. You’ll have to forgive me for treating you as unscientific — you began this debate by being “pretty sure” about something which was a chronological impossibility. That sort of hubris often indicates that science-ish misinformation is incoming.

Thanks to your links, I found a better summary of the current health research on safrole:

https://aacrjournals.org/cancerpreventionresearch/article/8/...

If you search within that for safrole, a very thorough summary with many citations is provided. I’ve come away better informed, and will continue making root beer with confidence (the health concerns listed are slight; almost everything is similarly “dangerous”).

Stupid question, obvious question: Why not both? Why cant i learn a trade and then study, then have a half-half position?

I did OCR as a separate step (essentially 1. load webpage, 2. screenshot, 3. ocr, 4. ocr output + question into chatgpt). What does it mean to do it all as one step / how would I got about doing that with ChatGPT?

For more context: I have this setup as an api that I feed url + typescript definitions to, and have chatgpt output information from the website in the specified typescript definition.

For example, I can use {product_price: float, product_name: str} + a url as the input, and fairly accurately get product price info across ALL product websites. It's kind of amazing that it's able to do this much just based upon the typescript variable names + raw OCR output.
The amount of headsets sold isn’t a good measure. Better to look at total ecosystem revenue.

As a pedestrian (I am not wearing headphones) please ring your bell if you are passing me on a shared path.

That's an optimistic reading of it. The "nice" thing about organizational incompetence is also that it makes a good shield for people that did notice what they are currently doing and just choose not to act on it, or only in a superficial way. Sadly, many countries (non-)reactions to Afghanistan straddle that line.
I'm pretty sure at least some people who've worked at corporate companies or FAANGs can spot fallacies!
The State of the Climate in 2023
That is understandable.

The note is stored encrypted using AES 256-bit keys. The only time it's decrypted without your credentials is when you don't login during the check-in period.

I also want to make it end-to-end encrypted (still looking into it) but that has a UX problem. If the recipients need a key to decrypt it, a new problem of keeping the key safe and not forget about it also appears. And if we keep the key on our server then it also kills the whole point of e2e.

I'd love to know any change I can make to make your more confident in it?
I'm not sure, I was under the impression that you won't be able to get one for the period it would be suspended, but can't find a source.
I don't have a CS degree, but I did teach at a prominent boot camp for several years. Folks often complain that people out of boot camp don't have foundational knowledge too. Aside from the fact that it would take more than 12 weeks to do that, another contributing reason is the management/administrators there want to push shiny topics instead of fundamentals. How many JavaScript frameworks can they shove in a short time is more important to them, so graduates can stuff their resumes with React and D3 than them knowing wtf an array actually is, or how to manipulate it.
I honestly had a very good exchange about this exact topic with ChatGPT not too long ago. It was able to draw connections between the different stages that blog posts/wikis about each often do not. Specifically I was asking about the Linux boot process and it was able to go into enough detail for me to Google for the rest. Hope that helps.
Fascism is explicitly and deliberately regressive. Its incarnations have all focused on building up the image and importance of both traditional values and a legendary heritage (often Rome or a Roman offshoot) which people are supposed to aspire to returning to and continue into the future.

This is also why you shouldn't take GPA or alma-mater into account when considering resumes. MIT grads are just as worthless as any other 21y old.
Would you actually be willing to bet that world population drops by 800+ million people within 10 years of 1.5C?
And underestimating what's actually going to happen, and how difficult it's going to be to reverse, or even put brakes on it is intellectually criminal, but the pro-AGW group hasn't ever cared about that. Why would they, the track record of 'Let industry self-regulate' has worked out great for them in the past.

We're going to blow right past 1.5C, 2C, 2.5C...
Is the Chatbotpocalypse Looming?
I doubt too many people forgo learning SQL exclusively because they are too busy learning other, higher priority things. Most people have free time and still choose not to learn SQL. I had a teacher in highschool who referred to not doing things because they weren't really that important as being "legitimately lazy" which I feel is an apt description.

Ask HN: It's Been 4 Months and Google Hasn't Indexed My Pages - Any Advice?
I have a website with thousands of pages. It has one page for every active YC company (https://ycrm.xyz/).

I generated a sitemap (https://ycrm.xyz/sitemap.txt) for Google to pickup these pages. After many submission attempts, Google finally registered the sitemap and associated pages last December.

Now, it's been almost 4 months and the pages are still stuck in "Crawled - currently not indexed" in the Google Search Console.

Has anyone else run into this issue with Google before? Any help/advice is appreciated!
With your career you are trading time for money. It makes complete sense to optimize that. Most of the professional work you do will not be what you would work on in your free time anyways, it’s work to make some other person rich.

This means the listening socket was created using SOCK_RAW as opposed to SOCK_STREAM or SOCK_DGRAM. Raw sockets are used for working with ICMP, doing packet sniffing, sending some types of custom TCP packets, etc. Basically anything that isn't UDP or TCP, you'll need a raw socket for.
Lots of fundamental investment in hardware and tech that is multiple years out. Displays, chipsets, input devices, etc. multiple lines of hardware beyond what you see today. Multiple OSes, lots of application teams, middleware, services, frameworks, etc etc.
What I always find so hard to believe is that, knowing how well we can predict weather and other complicated systems, climate change science somehow is able to make 1/10 centigrade precision predictions on time horizons of decades and centuries.
I think it is. The organization isn't quite right, and definitely needs to be worked on, but I like the sidebar approach.
To quickly do the calculations:

Walking: 5 km/h * 70kg = 97 kgm/s

e-bike: 20 km/h * 90 kg = 500 kgm/s

car: 50 km/h * 2000kg = 28,000 kgm/s

If their prep was focused on FAANG-style Leetcode Interview, I'd guess they were pretty upset when you asked them other things.

But they're not upset when some interviewer tells them to do Leetcode whiteboard performance art, for pieces they've hopefully memorized but will pretend to be approaching for the first time, as a hazing ritual, and the interviewer, briefly feeling in a position of power normally denied them, says, "I want to see how you think", as if the interviewer can actually discern that.

People are accustomed to having their ducks lined up for them, and they just have to do the things they were told, and then they get the big paycheck, and they get to be the one hazing the new pledges. You're not playing along with the system.

In upfront transparency to avoid sounding like I have a superiority complex based on just how much I love my cargo bike, our family does still have a car.

Okay that being said… our cargo bike has replaced 90% of our “last mile” driving here in the city. We take the kids to school on it, we do grocery runs, we take it to the park, out to dinner, just about anywhere we can. In the first two years we’ve put at least 2k miles on it.

When we first bought it, I thought “okay when my wife rides the ebike with kids, I’ll just ride behind on my road bike.”

It took all but a week for us to go buy a second ebike because of how failed my idea was. The guy at the bike shop, same that we bought the cargo bike from, laughed and said that happened all the time.

While we have always been big into bikes, we’re on another level now. I always feel sorry for the poor suckers at the park who ask me how we like the bike who have to listen to me rave about it for 20 minutes when a “we love it” probably would have been enough.
That was a great episode. I also really enjoyed this one: https://corecursive.com/prison-programming-with-rick-wolter/
I'm not surprised. I consider it a badge of honor that neo-nazis, neo-confederates, racists, white supremacists, sexists, kiddy diddlers, et al, side against me.

You might consider being concerned if your ideas and attitudes align with those of the aforementioned deplorables. And yes, that would be the correct term.

Edit: Calling people by the correct descriptive terms is not smearing. I'm sorry you are confused.
In some ways, this has always been good programming design. Have clean interfaces. Encapsulate state, and have clear propagation of state between components. Identify appropriate abstractions that represent the components of your system such that they can be composed, potentially reused, and can be clearly reasoned about and tested. Pulling this into the explicit programming framework rather than just being a set of good design patterns does seem like it help when collaborating with semi-trusted participants. This is how most "low-code" systems work.
Aren't investments for VR software, VR tools, prototypes, and hardware manufacturing all to sell a VR Platform that starts with the Quest?

So you can say that they did indeed spend $100b on selling 20m Quests so far.
This seems like a propaganda article to me that's willfully ignoring a ton of research and negative outcomes from the poorly thought out, reactionary interventions that were forced upon us.

It's like a weird sort of victory lap when you came in dead last in a race, pretending that you won.
I used to work in the California oil fields, and one of our rig hands was bit by a black widow in the nether regions while using a porta-potty. Not Fun...
The other side of the NAFTA coin was that it allowed US agribusiness to dump products like corn in Mexico at below-market prices, driving many small-scale Mexican farmers into poverty. At that point, they could either work as low-paid maquiladores (the border factories etc.) in Mexico or become Mexican expats at significantly better wages in the US agriculture, construction, restaurant, hotel & golf course etc. sectors.

The neoliberal project in a nutshell involved the outsourcing of unionized well-paid domestic manufacturing jobs overseas, on one hand, and the import of cheap expat labor to fill jobs that couldn't be moved offshore, driving down labor costs and creating hundreds of new billionaires, who used their money to buy more politicians to lock in the programs and prevent any change.
