That's the option with the least headache. I believe there are other simulators too but they are much more specialized.

With some hacking you can run all MacOS/MacOS X versions on x86, x64 and PPC from 8.6 to 13 if you have a x64 machine. If you have an Apple Silicon one it gets too slow to simulate around 10.10 (on x64 you can use hvf virtualization). It might be a bit less nice than tailored emulators like SheepShaver but having the same UI for all these OSes (plus other OSes) beats everything in my opinion.

Unfortunately Apple Silicon machines cannot be simulated without some hidden knowledge only some secretive companies have. Hopefully the knowledge will become public some years from now.
The sublime plugin for Copilot works well enough already. I'm sure Copilot X will be something you can fold into any editor. I don't understand how so many folks seem to tolerate the UX lag in VSCode
Why should Mozilla subsidise your pet issues when it will not, in any case, make a return of 30 million from Firefox users ?
Exactly - I primarily write Java and fat-jars are great when developing apps for environments I control. But if I want to send an app to a friend it's a few additional steps to make sure they have the correct version of Java, paths are setup correct, etc. This isn't always trivial if they already have a different version of Java and want things to play nice side by side.

Just bundle everything into a native executable, so many little annoyances just disappear. From what I understand Java does have facilities to bundle the runtime now but I haven't had the opportunity to really play with it yet.

There's also another risk, which is that copilot generated code may not be copyrightable[1]. I'm not sure how that would play out as part of a large codebase, but something to watch closely.

> The office reiterated Wednesday that copyright protection depends on the amount of human creativity involved, and that the most popular AI systems likely do not create copyrightable work.

I'm sorry, which is the system that keeps people good? Tripartite government with separation of powers? A constitution? Tell me: what are the rules can withstand a group of bad faith players? Any system can be undermined by bad actors, on both short (personal) and long (institutional) timescales, and there is always built in incentive to do so. To wit: bribes are great for both sides if you don't get caught. Bribes given in this way may feel and appear to be like capitalism. But the iron minds who spend these enormous sums for brief appearances of past and future judges, bureaucrats and princes, do not do so out of sentiment. Nor, I think, would they bother to argue that it is so.

To claw our way back to the good Nash equilibrium we must open our eyes why the bad Nash equilibrium beckons to us all. Look around the world and see those nations that dwell, apparently permanently, in the bad equilibrium. Where everyone is backstabbing each other, demanding bribes, and so on. The rules forbid it, but they are helpless, just ink on paper. Once cheating starts, an avalanche soon follows.
Yes, I feel like it is much better than HN has given it credit for in earlier discussions. But that may be influenced by the fact that I only started using it relatively recently; I've probably mostly seen it at its best.

Also, I have no illusions about how language models work. I notice that the sloppier the code I'm editing, the worse suggestions (and dumber comments) it suggests. If I start writing a comment and copilot immediately suggests "TODO: delete this", that's a better indicator of poor code health than any metric I know about. It's not a magic wand, but it can be extremely useful if you use it sensibly.

Then again, you can just decide to forget how it works and ask it questions directly in comments:

// Hey GPT3, write me a poem
// ANSWER:

It's not sensible, but it's great fun.

Add the discipline bit (which he had in spades) and I think you may have something there. I'm struggling a bit thinking of the correct word here; satisfaction and contentment come to mind, as well as un-settled mind when dissatisfied.

It all seems to boil down to the mind, and where you stand on the mind-body (none?) issue. These days I'm tending to be far more accepting of the unified view that dispenses with the duality.

The un-settled mind is prone to distraction, naturally.
Why do you think Roe v. Wade doesn't have an impact on women and girls? Studies show that it has had a measurable effect, especially in states where women have lost autonomy over their bodies.

The performative pressures brought on by Instagram and co. is a problem and maybe it impact teen girls acutely more, but the young ladies I've talked to and mentored expressed a great deal of angst about their futures because of things like Roe v. Wade.
Do we even need such a language, beyond just English / other human languages?

IMO we’ll see LLM interpreters / compilers where the spec is the code, and whatever the LLM does in the background is opaque to the “programmer”.

But for the fact that it would likely get me permabanned, I would suggest making HackerNews Copilot X, the system that responds to HN posts and comments on your behalf and in a manner guaranteed to get more upvotes from other AIbots hanging out in internet comments forums.
> Very rarely will a corporation be OK with GPT-4 running inferences on their internal documents and excel sheets.

Which is why Microsoft will be able to charge outrageous fees for enterprise plans that keep employees' queries to GPT private and out of future training sets. I do not think on prem will be successful, though, the hardware requirements are fairly substantial and specialized.
My first thought is that the distractions on your smartphone are more vapid and and they keep you from noticing the real world around you. The equivalent I can recall was reading books on the NYC subway on the way to High School or home. The book was chosen by me and did not beep or vibrate while in my pocket, and I was still aware of my surroundings. I'll take old school distractions any day. Phones vibrating and beeping are Pavlovian, and we are the dogs in the system.

Edit: I find reading HN like picking up the newspaper. I appreciate the simple layout, but I can make a comment and be active if I choose.
People will be incentivized (and possibly required) to pay off high-interest debt first, which is the right thing.

Beyond that, a modern debt jubilee isn't about you optimizing your individual financial situation.

Rather, it is about:

- keeping it as simple and hard to game as possible

- reducing total debt in the economy to a sustainable level

If you have to pay down or pay off your mortgage, sorry. On the other hand, you would own a house free and clear. So life wouldn't be all bad.

JUCE is a dual-license commercial product though: Apart from a small ISC-licensed core, it's GPL or commercial. While I totally respect the decision of the JUCE developers to want to make a living out of their project and to adopt a licensing scheme that is in line with that goal, It would be a disqualifying criterion for me if, like OP, I was looking for an open-source project to dedicate a non-small amount of my own time for unpaid voluntary work. I might send them a patch if I need a fix to a problem that I can quickly solve ad-hoc and that I don't want to wait for them to fix, but I wouldn't want to pour significant amounts of my own time into unpaid voluntary work that they get paid for.
Yeah true, you're right. Still, intuitively it seems like the better legal case would be against MS, even if it's not the more practical one.
I’ve been working on ML systems like that for the last 10 years, usually as tools to automate boring data entry tasks like tagging photos, automating food logging, giving dietary advice.

At first these tools offer suggestions, but as more data comes in they start to do parts of the work autonomously, until they can handle all cases.

Stable diffusion will replace a ton of paid design work, self driving cars will at some point replace most drivers.
What I'd love to see in the future is a proper refactoring UX. This new chat interface is probably a good start, as it seems able to replace code blocks in your original source file. But most code changes in the real world require changes in multiple locations. And I don't usually have questions for the AI, I have small tasks for it to do.

I hope we can get to a point where I can give quick commands to a Copilot-like system to do more complex changes. Changes which traditional refactoring tools balk at. Stuff you would discuss with other humans. Like "this value needs to be calculated once, move the code to the constructor", which then requires code being removed in one method, a member variable being created, and possibly a constructor, and some code being moved there, and perhaps a few changes in method parameter lists.

The jump from single-point edits to multi-point edits is obviously a huge one, not only for the AI part, but also for the UI (being able to understand, accept or modify the changes, for the human). That for me would be truly next level (up from the amazing place where we are already with Copilot), and I can't wait for it to get there.

From the point of view of the applicant, I wonder if I would prefer a long probation period over a long interview period.

If I'm unemployed and I have bills to pay, a paid probation period is the better option - even if I get fired after 90 days, that's still 3 months' salary. On the other hand, if I already have a job, joining another company is a big risk - I'm giving up a comfortable position for a job I might lose in 90 days if it doesn't work out - maybe I'll be in over my head, maybe I don't get along with the manager or the team, whatever. A long interview process gives me plenty of opportunity to gauge my prospective employers and back out at any point.

Because it uses GitHub's oauth flow, all applications who use this flow show the same stuff.
It's ironic because the Rust experience is proving that the real reason Java (as well as Visual Basic, and other languages of that generation) was a breakthrough in code reuse was not the trappings of OO programming such as polymorphism and inheritance but the garbage collector.

Code reuse in C and C++ is limited by memory management being a global concern of a program. Ideally a library could get buffers from the application when that is appropriate, but may need to allocate memory for itself if it is building complex interlinked structures. A library can't be sure if the application still needs a buffer and the application can't really be sure.

For the most part, libraries in the C world are impoverished, they avoid doing things that require complex memory management.

With the garbage collector, allocation becomes a local problem (just do it) and freeing is handled for you globally (buffers get reused when no longer needed.)

Rustifarians are struggling because the problem of memory allocation is reframed as a fight with the borrow checker, and that problem is a global problem that involves both the application and all of the libraries it depends on. They're facing the choice between an impoverished model for memory as seen in C libraries and the intractable problem of combining multiple strategies for borrowing as applications + libraries grow in scale.
According to academic friends of mine, tools like ZeroGPT still have too much noise in the signal to be viable way to catch cheaters. It seems to be better than these short form pieces or content, but if even if it’s “only” 80% accurate, some of those 20% will be false positives which is problematic.
>I use 4 Lenovo M910x's as a kubernetes cluster and home lab.

Just asking out of curiosity: Why not a Ryzen 16-Core CPU + 128GB RAM and then VMs / containers everywhere? To me that seems much less hassle than having to pet four machines, as I am way too lazy to write automation stuff for myself. Also such a setup setup needs less space and probably less power.
I never said that. lol. but they probably don't practice it amongst themselves.

Seems correct to me
Last of us jokes aside, how correct is the claim that fungis do not pose a strategic threat to mankind or human civilization because humans used to live in much unhealthier conditions and if a fungi could have wiped us out, it would already have? This is why I'm not too concerned about pandemics. We used to be cave dwellers, to live alongside animals. Nature had plenty of opportunities to wipe us out when we were at our weakest, and it failed.

Unless a novel disease emerges or is manufactured that totally outclasses everything nature came up with in earth's history, we're going to be fine.

I remember when I bought my first fast ethernet card, there was some Linux HOWTO that discussed various ethernet NIC's, and crucially, their Linux drivers in excruciating detail. And the takeaway was that if you had a choice, pick either 3com 5xx(?) or Intel card. The 3com card was slightly cheaper at the local computer shop, so that's what I ended up with (595 Vortex, maybe?).
That second bit is a criminally underserved market. It's fucking stupid that I have to call one of my guy friends to go to the mechanic with me and pretend to be my boyfriend so I don't get ripped off.

If anyone figures out how to align the incentives you'll have a customer base basically immediately.
You're being too kind on the HN crowd. We're usually extremely pessimistic for no good reason and useless at predicting things. It seems like we just love to hate on stuff.
GitHub Next investigates the future of software development
We only sell by the byte here!
Finetuning has been more or less obsolete for LLMs since the introduction of GPT-3. This was a major discovery of the original paper. Codex-Davinci only existed because the original gpt wasn't trained on much code not because a version trained on sufficient code would need special code optimizations/fine-tuning.

and yes, LLMs are general intelligences. there is nothing narrow about them at all

Bingo, exactly what I'm thinking.

Sure, they get more developers to use their software, but to how much money does that translate considering the tens of billions they have spent?

Not sure how does that helps Azure by the way. It helps GH more than anything.

FWICT tableflip does exactly this: https://github.com/cloudflare/tableflip
>Is GPT-4 so good at general tasks out of the box that fine-tuning is obsolete? Can one model really be equally good at Python and poetry?

This is correct. It is able to generalize across domains intelligently. Given the results of fine tuning in earlier models, fine tuning GPT-4 for a specific purpose will probably produce super-human ability.
It may or may not buy you happiness, but it does buy you power and influence. Hence, the vicious cycle we're in.

TLDR: AI detection is a coin flip but there is high intercoder reliability, meaning we’re mostly picking up on the same cues as each other to make our determinations.
Ahh yes, looks like I was too generous with my numbers, the new Quadro with 48GB VRAM is $7k, so you probably would need $14k and a Threadripper/Xeon/EPYC workstation because you won't have enough PCIE lanes/RAM/Memory Bandwidth otherwise.

So maybe more accurate is $200k+ a year and $20-30k on a workstation.

I grew up on $20k a year, the numbers in tech. are baffling!

I think you actually explain why these interviews are structured this way. Tech is pretty ageist and obsessed with youth, and in fact stodgy aerospace like Boeing and NASA are kind of held in contempt and derided for making peanuts.

These interviews are a good way to filter (and even discourage) older applicants, since the cultural fit for the task IS someone recently in college.

Ironically, you've hit upon one of the key fears about AI, which have split public opinion somewhat.

One group thinks AI may be 'woke' because its makers blocked it from using slurs. As such, it may even discriminate against those considered 'non-woke'.

The other thinks that AI having some hard-coded language filters doesn't mean that it can't be leveraged to push ideas and data that lead to (man-made) decisions that harm vulnerable groups. It's an extension of the quite stupid idea that one cannot be racist unless they've explicitly used racist speech; behaviour and beliefs are irrelevant as long as they go unsaid.
Maybe they have a better machine than you so they don't notice it.
