It’s still a currently-in-use acronym/term that a sufficiently large tech company could conceivably be using both meanings concurrently. This causes confusion and muddies the water of a general web search experience.

Not the same situation, but I remember when “Electron” was called “Atom Shell” because it was built for the (now defunct) text editor by the same name. For the longest time, I had an unsubstantiated thought that it was a new Unix shell that was based around a text editor somehow (yes, dumb). In hindsight, they just had named this cleverly to reference the various layers or shells of electrons orbiting atomic nuclei, thus the eventual name of Electron.

On the other hand, a wireless technology standard is very different than a known mathematical technique that likely predates the wireless meaning anyway.
If you are a manager, this will output your productivity ten fold on the upcoming years. Now you don’t need to hire senior devs and can just build the product of your dreams with very limited capital.

If you are a CTO, this will output your productivity ten fold on the upcoming years. Now you don’t need to hire managers and can just build the product of your dreams with very limited capital.

If you are a VC, this will output your productivity ten fold on the upcoming years. Now you don’t need to hire anyone and can just build the product of your dreams with very limited capital.

Agree it'll definitely be amazing for creatives and solo founders, but how many ideas are really out there to be had compared to the reduction in workforce?

Ask HN: Is Content Marketing Dead? The Rise of AI Search Moats
As more and more users turn to search engines like Google and Bing for answers to their questions, the role of content marketing in driving website traffic is being called into question. With the rise of AI-powered search engines, even fresh and informative content may no longer be enough to draw users to a website.

In fact, some argue that writing articles to answer user questions may now be futile, as AI can provide the same information instantly and without the need for users to visit a website. Bing AI, for instance, can scrape live content and present it directly in search results, effectively bypassing the website altogether.

So, does this mean content marketing is dead? Not necessarily. While traditional forms of content marketing may no longer be as effective, there are still avenues that can be explored?

But it's clear that content marketers need to adapt to the changing landscape of AI-powered search engines.

What are your thoughts on the state of content marketing? Is it dead, or is there still a place for it in the age of AI?

If it's dead, won't AI's knowledge stagnate. That doesn't open an opportunity because as soon as it exists Bing can scrape it.
If you are working in a place where such human errors get such an impact over your life, its probably time to find less toxic waters to tread in for work.

Amazon's investment in Alexa is a perfect example of why Apple didn't (and shouldn't have) invested all of their resources into Siri. The Alexa team is getting seriously gutted in these rounds of downsizing [1], or as CNBC puts it "the team behind the technology was a prime target of the largest layoffs in the company’s history."

What they have been invested heavily in is the Apple Neural Engine ("ANE"), special silicon right on the SoC to handle ML / AI code. Optimize on a server, then run the model on your iPhone or probably soon, your Apple Watch.

WWDC this year is going to be very, very important.

You’re saying this un-ironically in the post-Roe world?
Even if this interpretation is correct, it only holds if the law is not changed. But the law is not immutable.

I'm probably going to need a new laptop this year. My needs are simple: large screen, numpad and enough raw compute power to be usable for the primary task my computers face: compiling a large-ish native C++ application. This machine looks like an excellent candidate and I love the modular concept ...

... however, every time I've put my faith in "this technology is modular and you will be able to extend/upgrade it way into the future", I've been disappointed. The worst offenders are CPU manufacturers who assure us that "Socket N" will be their new CPU pin format for, well, a good long time, and then two years later we move to "Socket N+1". The same thing for RAM. My experience that expecting an upgrade path via physical interface re-use with new components buys you at most 3 years, sometimes only 2.

Framework appear to building the actual components into their self-design modules, so that they control the physical interfaces. This seems like a step up but if the company remains small then the chance of not being able to upgrade again in a few years because they're either out of business, or are not packaging the components you want, seem fairly high. The fact that the designs are going to be open sourced is great, but I don't see that as a strong hedge against this problem.
There was news that life expectancy has dropped. Obesity and suicide.
"Obey so they don't carry out their threat." may be prescribed by classical decision theory, but I wouldn't call it rational when it's bad for you to be known to do it. I just asked classical decision theory what decision theory to pick and I think it said "take action x such that, if you do x, and everyone had known since 15:53 UTC Mar 24, 2023 that you'd do x, you'd have done as well as possible.". So what deserves to be called "rational" may be to do what the person you wish you'd always been would do.

> Theory is about music; it is not the practice of music.

I'd quibble a bit with this: theory is language to speak of certain experiences and patterns one discovers in the practice of / play with music.

Saying this to (perhaps) refine your point rather than contradict it. I quite agree that practice is key and theory was dead for me until one summer as a teen where I noodled freely enough in front of a piano and suddenly noticed "oh, this is what they're talking about." Everything up until you have enough up close and personal experience with the music to notice doesn't matter.

And then once you notice it becomes a name you can call it with.

That's the much MUCH better way to look at it - too many people see these "you must have ten billion dollars saved for retirement by age 25" and just give up.

It's not a pass/fail exam, and amount saved is useful (and the biggest one is reducing or removing your housing expense through ownership; though once you're old enough it may be worth considering how many years of renting you could buy for the price of the house, and what that would include).

The market for gaming laptops is tiny, but long term upgradability is a big barrier there. It's possible that being able to upgrade the battery, GPU, CPU, even thermals, could be super enticing to the PC builder community.
I was going to comment the same, horrible name collision. Surprised they didn't notice it.
I have a feeling most of the way it happens is someone just says they are going to a border town and just ... don't stop. IF the pilot doesn't care about losing his license (i.e. they're being paid Do Kwon kind of money) and those on the flight manifest aren't returning, doesn't seem like there's much they'd be able to do.
I’d like some clarification of terms - when they say it takes 3 hours to train, they’re not saying from scratch are they? There’s already a huge amount of training to get to that point, isn’t that correct? If so, then it’s pretty audacious to claim they’ve democratized an LLM because the original training likely cost an epic amount of money. Then who knows how much guidance their training has incorporated, and it could have a strong undesirable viewpoint bias based on the original training.
My understanding is that it's mixed... I think it's supposed to be along the lines of, "am I being compelled to answer against my will?" or some such, in which case it can be inadmissible as evidence (IANAL).

That said, if it were anything more than something like a basic traffic stop, I wouldn't answer anything other than my name and providing ID without a lawyer. Pretty much every interaction with police (outside family/friends) has been a traffic stop, an accident, or otherwise reporting a crime.

“Young men should prove theorems, old men should write books.”
To add to this, one of the seemingly better examples i was shown was that most of us who like music have a handful of songs that we can hear perfectly. We don't realize it, but that's one foundational tool to find the relative pitch of something.

Ie despite not having absolute perfect pitch, we know can accurately hear a variety of notes by just remembering a song, chorus, hook, etc. In doing so, we can figure out those notes and then use that to help determine the relative pitch of something else.

Works better the more songs you know. It's also not advocating learning songs for this purpose, but rather using songs you already know. Songs you grew up with, etc. Anything you deeply know.

> The only safe thing to do is to assume that any given cop that you interact with is a bad cop.

True.

I was swatted. I had a puppy who was still in the barking and biting phase. My starting assumption was they'd shoot my dog.

Then I got conflicting instructions ("freeze!" and "lie down on the ground!"). And I thought, "Whelp, here it is."

Fortunately, we both lived. But it's sad that being shot in my driveway while wearing my PJs would be a "disappointed, but not surprised".
> Do you ask it properly

Maybe not! But how would I gauge such a thing? I try to be very specific with my wording. And I’m very wary of including keywords that might have it land in a category that I don’t want it to land in. Clearly my strategy isn’t working though. Is there a resource for writing good ChatGPT prompts related to programming?

> GPT-4 gives me way better answers than ChatGPT

I might need to try that, then. I’ve only used ChatGPT so far.
But the GPL allows for learning from it. But is the learning limited to humans? Is the learning process a way of modification?

I'd really like to see this tested at a court.
you vastly underestimate civilians. probably not a single gun is needed. a crowd of people at some point will walk into the billionaire's home and make him agree with handing over his wealth. They might call the police, but all thats needed is the officers ignoring the call willingly. Why should they defend those billionaires? What should they do? Rich people depend on many individual poor laborers, all of them can simply decide to no longer accept his state of affairs and there is lietrally nothing the billionaires could do against it.

Ideally, defund the police and so on, so that every state worker also is keen on getting that wealth redistribution done.
> But they don't seem to care

While I've not fully dug into all of those links, that is rarely the case and it makes the conversations harder when people over simplify situations like this. Generally, I've found when people make assumptions like this, the underlying requirements are a lot more involved and its not a high enough priority for the small group of overtaxed individuals.
By comparing the fingerprint to a trusted source, which the snippet above doesn't do. And if you trust that the https source will lead you to the correct github, you can trivially check the fingerprint against what github publishes.
This is a good thing. Many people are of the opinion that model weights don’t have copyright independent of the source code used to generate them. The source code and training data are all open. The model weights are a deterministic function of those. Claiming they have independent copyright is essentially the same as claiming copyright in a binary you compiled from open source code. Seems like a pretty good chance to get a court to agree with this.
The Luddites were not protesting technology because technology is inherently evil. They were against the capitalistic ownership of the means of production.

So far technology has enabled use to increase economic output which means rising standards of living. Even if 99% of people subsist from selling their labor, the tools they use are a force multiplier that (in theory) drives wages up.

When you can spin up a bunch of Von Neumann level intelligence LLM-powered agents and have them run your company for you, there is no more labor to sell. You can either pay the former laborers to exist, or just let them starve.

So our two options are social ownership of all AI capital, or letting everyone without AI capital die, and let a handful of people live in the resulting AI-powered society.

Yes, I'm seriously asking. If a junior programmer wants to create a mobile app, or a desktop app, or a cloud service, what are the barriers? All the ones I can think of will get lower, not higher, as a result of the AI revolution.

If I'm missing one, or a class of product with different barriers, I genuinely would like you to point that out.

I wonder what the best output language for an LLM is? The one that has the most training examples? Or something that has other properties that make it easier to generate?

I’d guess that the languages with the fewest implicit behaviors (so no Scala or Haskell) would be easiest. Maybe Go is the generation language of choice?
Ask HN: Static site generator for technical blog articles?
I'm thinking about getting back into blogging again and I like the idea of systems like Hugo but I am interested in writing things that are meaty and technical and the mainstream of these systems seems to be quite the opposite: frequently templates look like Medium and seem to think whitespace is more important than content. I'd like to embed diagrams, tables, equations and do it all without it being a maintenance nightmare. I've been seeing LaTeX-based systems since 1997 and think they still are butt ugly (sorry, even if italic fonts are right for math the particular ones these use look atrocious on the web.)

Any suggesions?
Hey Colin :wave: (I hope you're bringing Rust to DD)

To add onto this, Grapl had a moderate sized codebase with less than 10 engineers. I do think we could have done some optimizations in cargo, but it's simply much easier to use a tool like Bazel/pants etc that does the work for you as long as it supports your language of choice.
1) IMO, a teacher's first priority ought to be to satisfying their students' goals. So, what is the actual goal of these young people in coming to you? Are these people planning to pursue an actual academic and theoretical path, or do they want to become working professional programmers? You mentioned a village, so I wonder if they might just generally be a bunch of young people from poor backgrounds wanting to prioritize leveling up in life, not necessarily learning the details of CS theory. As interesting as functional programming might be to some of them, many of these people might just want to get their foot in the door somewhere with some entry-level Java job.

2) What is these peoples' experience level with programming and computers? You're listing a lot of good things, but you might end up going into too dense of detail for some beginners and scare them away with too theoretical of a discussion too quickly before they get their feet wet with some basic problem solving.
It was never an investment, it was a donation back when they were still nonprofit.

For what it's worth, that was exactly my experience with GPT-3.5, but GPT-4 is a lot better at generating code. Almost spookily good, at least for some languages. It makes far fewer mistakes.

The offers I see are always 0% over 4 months. Napkin math for my credit card (22% APR) is 7.3% for that duration. I'm sure I did that wrong but I literally never carry a balance.

The way this makes money is that they charge the merchant, and the hook for the merchant is that they are opening up their target demographics to include people that cannot otherwise afford the product. In that sense, I think BNPL competes with Layaway rather than with creditcards. More broadly, it's kind of a known factor that the middle class is shrinking and BNPL helps keep consumerism accessible to people that would otherwise be downgrading their lifestyle.

The risk is that if you do not manage your finances very well you can get tricked into thinking you can afford things that you cannot and end up underwater to payments. It's like R-A-C but they won't send the sheriff to repossess your sofa.
