How does your system compare to Metamath[0], aside from the obvious difference of not having set theory baked in? I notice both your Abstraction Logic and Metamath's system can state the induction axiom scheme as a single statement, which seems to me like a huge usability advantage over FOL.

> Software Engineering is just 10% writing code.

That really depends on the type of "Software Engineering" you're doing. In my experience, in greenfield projects, boring CRUD-type programming can easily take up 50% of your time.

It'd be great if AI could automate this boring CRUD-type programming away, and let me focus on the architecture and interesting algorithms.
I've never heard of this definition of the singularity. Wikipedia (for whatever that's worth) defines it as follows:

"The technological singularity—or simply the singularity[1]—is a hypothetical future point in time at which technological growth becomes uncontrollable and irreversible, resulting in unforeseeable changes to human civilization."

Humans could still be in the loop but the AI enables changes that exceed our ability to predict or contain them.
Let's put it this way: I am not out to prove you wrong, and I am not out to prove my point either.

Perhaps I'd get support for my point by looking at the popularity of the shows in question, seeing how many viewers tuned in into each of those. But it doesn't matter much (and I would be "moving the goalposts"), since the discussion was what is a preferential middle/higher income family dwelling type.

My general point is that the OP had a different viewpoint in which it's not unusual to consider TV shows as preferring one lifestyle for middle class families (a house with a backyard), while your point that apartment-dwelling does not indicate poor tenants in TV shows is similarly true.

Nobody is saying 100%, even if we are talking without qualifiers like "most", "majority", "most influential" and such.

As a human talking to another human, if I say "ice cream is great", I hope I don't have to say how "I personally love most ice cream flavours I've tried even if I hate or dislike some of them, and there are many I haven't tried either" instead, so we wouldn't get into an argument how I wasn't really precise.

And it's ok to disagree too, which is where we are at it seems.
Raspbian* apparently. That's really interesting; even the highest tier Raspberry Pi still feels pretty sluggish as a desktop thanks to the limitations of SD card throughput/latency/queue depth/etc. I wonder what his usage looks like.
Plenty of toxins are only harmful to humans, in any amount.
As soon as making major changes is fast and cheap, this becomes much less of a problem. If your first iteration has some glaring issue, even if it's a fundamental one, just fix the specification.

You can't do that today because fixing the specification after the fact means waiting 6 months and paying 60+ man-months. Once fixing the specification means waiting 10 minutes and paying $10 for inference compute, the idea guys can afford to learn by doing.

Yes, drone deliveries have found one viable niche - getting lightweight but critical medical supplies to remote locations.

We certainly aren't going to get UAVs delivering takeaways and Amazon parcels in cities any time soon, though. When 'delivery drones' happen, they're likely to have 4 wheels and travel by road.
No, they're equivalent. It makes no difference whether I calculate in the current process, spawned a process, started a process via the Supervisor, Task.async, or what not. They are all equivalent in the sense that they use BEAM processes.

An Elixir, Erlang, or any other developer using the BEAM VM (or at the very least myself since I don't want to generalize) doesn't make a semantic distinction between spawn and Task.async/3 because there is none. The significant differentiation is whether or not the caller is expecting a returned value, if not then Task.start_link can be used instead.

I don't need to worry about function colouring because there is none. I also don't need to worry about async vs Task.run like in C# because in Elixir there is none. To be asynchronous in Elixir/Erlang/etc... is to be synchronous. To equate it to modern backends, we basically have a microservice but every service can directly call each other.

I think I also might have been talking around you a bit, the BEAM VM sets itself apart from C#'s async/await or the TPL due to its implementation of the actor model. This video by Sasa Juric can explain better than I can the general overview of the BEAM: [1].

But a rough tl;dw, a BEAM process is to the BEAM, what an OS process is to the OS. We don't define a main function as the process supervisor in BEAM spawns processes we define instead and those are our "entrypoints."

They're often the same thing. How people ought to live, is commonly built up from principles and axioms inspired by natural law.

How you ought to live depends heavily upon the axioms you choose, and the axioms that do not coincide with nature and physics are often foolish.

> If my sole interest was to just get shit done on Windows, I can just go and do it.

That works, unless Windows decides it needs to do a Windows Update before it'll finish booting. Sometimes, which can last several hours. :(

Saying that because one of my close friends was beside himself after staying up all night to get some paper written, ready for submission... only to be screwed over by Windows Update then pulling this shit on him.

Moved him to Linux after that :), though his new job then provided him with a Windows laptop (very locked down) that he's forced to use. And which the MS applications on it keep crashing on a lot (several times a day). :(
> upending the economic mainstay of that whole region would be done "easily"

Change the incentives (remove animal subsidies), and the problem will solve itself.

There is a big demand for plant based protein now ... we know how to grow peas, beans, lentils ... however it's not profitable to do so now because we continue to subsidize animal agriculture (one of the most harmful things we can do to the environment) with obscene amount of money. That's the main reason plant-based cheeses cost 3x more than cow-milk-based, although it should be other way around.

> crop that is profitable (without subsidies), suited to the region, and also doesn't require pesticides that affect insects would not be easy

Easy is not the important part. Easy led us to the hell (or purgatory), where we currently are.

Those problems you're writing about can be solved with biodiversity. Let's imagine smaller fields, with different crops, interplanted with trees and shrubs to enable a lot of life [0], and you won't have problems with mice or bugs, because diversity will take care of any infestations.

If you're interested how to farm economically without pesticides/herbicides, may I suggest movie The Biggest Little Farm (2018), where the role of biodiversity is nicely illustrated.

To me the max power of AI could be achieved when it knows when to hand off to a better tool - is it a matter of ChatGPT not knowing what doesn’t know or simply the devs haven’t integrated with other tools (yet)?
The lesson I've taken from ChatGPT so far is that "consciousness" may be much less interesting or "special" than we thought. It may turn out that it's nothing more than an emergent property of a shared language that models the world around us and gives us capacity to plan and communicate our actions.
I’d even say they are annoying AF
Maybe in 10 years we can reach Phase 2

Unless AI can audit AI code by itself somehow we still have to let human chime in at some point. But if those humans aren’t the ones who are writing those code, how would they be able to debug it? That would be a horrific deadlock and no one would come to rescue.

Truth is, natural language is ambiguous, you describe your business goal in one short sentence, AI will fill in the blanks, but without checking you don’t know whether those assumptions reflect what you want.

What is dead is typing code by yourself, but as programmer you still need to read the generated code in full in order to deploy it.

It is possible LLM will get sufficiently advanced in some day, they can interact directly with your environment, get live feedback and trying to approach the ultimate solution, but someone in this case still has to write the test for LLM to verify its outcome.

Regardless, the future for coding will be surely different, and I do see software as a profession won’t maintain as many jobs moving forward, but a single command via natural language can only carry that much information, and the assumptions will need to be throughly tested
I second „persp-mode.el“ to be a great early addition to your default setup. I usually do that to separate front end from backend code or source files from remote terminals and/or error logs.

Wherever I can I use default key bindings which actually helps me with remembering. In this case I stuck to „C-x x“ as a prefix key combo.

I would also suggest to first install „which-key.el“ which will make Emacs display a list of possible key bindings from where from the key combo you just typed. This way hitting „C-x x“ will give you a menu displaying all possible persp-mode actions and will become second nature.

Have you considered submitting this idea as a patch for fzf (like with a flag to switch syntax)? fzf author seems fairly strict/holding back about what goes in and what not, but it seems worth an attempt: thing is fzf can do a lot, is pretty well architected, many features are really neat, and it seems less work to patch it than to start from scratch.

Income tax doesn't work well since the rich can ensure they have low or even zero taxable income.

Wealth tax doesn't work because the rich just move to Switzerland or similar.

At least with VAT, when the rich go buy their fancy goods and have dinners at restaurants (VAT on services here), they pay proportionally more in VAT.

This might be a dumb question, I'm not an economist by any stretch.
The point of a bump allocator is to be short-lived, and to be incredibly fast. You want to be able to make a bump allocator with a fixed buffer, pass it to some code which takes a generic allocator (and therefore will call allocate and free in any order), and then free all the memory in one shot at the end. If calling free out of order made it throw, it would be useless for that purpose; it would only be useful for code written specifically to use a bump allocator.

I don't have an MBA, but I studied intercultural management as my Masters, and I am writing my PhD right now in management. To be honest it is quite zen like, with the degree you can understand how you can manage engineers by not trying to manage them. Other type of people mostly need closer alignment. I know a lot of stuff of how to make a company more profitable, and generally a nicer place to work. Management is actually quite like engineering, more of a craft than an exact science. The science helps you to have names for things, and a lot of times I really know how to fix people stuff.
In essence, the hardware hasn't changed a lot. There was less focus on efficiency, much more on price - computers were expensive. In the (early) 80s, memory came at a premium, most micros had no permanent storage (except audio cassettes), so CPU, peripherals and OS abstraction weren't though of as the bottleneck.

Given only kilobytes of memory, the problem basically came down to: how much of your computer can you make get to do something useful or fun within those RAM limits. I think that perspective allowed room for (and necessity to) learn about and understand all levels of everything inside the piece of hardware you bought. Abstraction was still relevant, but detailed documentation on the actual guts was much more necessary then than it is today.

To exaggerate: why would you need to understand how to bitshift/add/compare to perform multiplication or division if you never need to think beyond python 3/typescript/java syntax?!
I hadn't thought of that, but I did wonder how it would compete for supplying data feeds.

I don't see the phrase "Raspberry Linux" in the linked page.

Skimmed through the video and it seems to be about two types of drones by the company Zipline.

One is a high-speed catapult-launched "airplane" drone that drops its delivery with a parachute, which they demonstrate delivering blood to a hospital. When it returns it's "caught" in the air at high speed with a wire that hooks it.

The other is a drone for residential deliveries which is designed to hover up high, while it unspools a mini device on a line that drops down to ground level and opens up to release your package or lunch, and contains a sideways rotor to drop it in exactly the right spot. And the larger drone has blades specially designed to minimize noise, especially high frequencies.

I don't know much about drones so not sure if these are particularly special/new features or why this was posted to HN, and the title is awfully clickbaity. YouTube says it's #1 on trending there though? Would be great if somebody knowledgeable could provide more context.
There are multiple good answers: O is different because it is the only one without a vertical line. E is different because it is the only one without a curve. O is different because it is not a musical note. There are probably a lot more.

I’ve heard that exact same argument for software engineers.

As an outside observer it sounds like you’ve switched from SE to founder, so you’re failing to apply the same standards because you (consciously or not) want to defend your current position.
Well one can argue those are cherry picked examples.

But even if they aren't, it's still a problem that those people decide who they contribute to, instead of the billion dollar businesses paying their fair share to the democratic state, who then has accountability to invest in their stakeholders - the citizens.
Lots of people saying that a programmer's job is more than just writing code, and I agree. But consider this:

You give ChatGPT-58 some startup idea and ask it to incorporate the company, build the software, do the marketing, etc. It starts doing a pretty good job. It's in charge of the whole system, so it doesn't need human intervention to give it context. The company grows and is making $1M/yr. It has now replaced 10 potential jobs in the market.

I feel like that's the worry many folks have. It's a pretty dystopian view of the future but if you can make $1M/yr and not have to pay any employees that money and all you had to do was pay OpenAI about $100/mo, would you not do that?
Thanks.

That's a lot of devices.

I’ve used CA on wounds quite a bit - I have a habit of carving myself open, usually on my fingers, and when it’s a deep cut that will reopen without sutures, glue it is.

You don’t want it in the wound. It won’t adhere well, and it will interfere with healing. Instead, I usually use a bit of sterile gauze, glue it to the skin on one side, let it set, and then pull the wound closed with it and glue it to the other side. I then bandage over to prevent dirt etc. getting in. I’ve used this on surgical wounds, too, when they weren’t closed by the hospital and I couldn’t get an appointment to have them addressed. Worked beautifully, no scar even.
I want to agree with this. It makes sense in the current environment. But what about when the ai has more memory and is able to ask the right probing questions to be effective at requirements gathering?
> Though, the amount of engineers will be reduced for sure.

Why do you assume the demand for the output of engineers will remain constant? More likely it will continue growing (as it always has - "software is eating the world"), and engineers will be able to produce more output efficiently. This doesn't necessarily mean there will be fewer engineers.
More developers should do this!

Why? If your software runs smoothly of. Raspberry Pi then you know it will fly on typical PCs.
