Seems that this depends on the definition of “lie.” It might be true that humans aren’t trying to deceive others 95% of the time, just like it’s true that ChatGPT isn’t _trying_ to deceive people 100% of the time. But both of them have a habit of spreading a ton of misinformation.

For humans, there’s simply an alarming percent of the time they present faulting memories as facts, with no one questioning them and believing them entirely at face value. You mentioned Hacker News comments. I’ve been unsettled by the number of times someone makes a grand claim with absolutely no evidence, and people respond to it like it’s completely true. I sometimes think “well, that’s a serious claim that they aren’t presenting any evidence for, I’m sure people will either ignore it or ask for more evidence,” and then return to the topic later and the comments are all going, “Amazing, I never new this!”

Often when one looks it up, there seems to be no evidence for the claim, or the person is (intentionally or not) completely misrepresenting it. But it takes mere seconds to make a claim, and takes a much longer time for someone to fact check it (often the topic has fallen off the main page by then).

This is all over the internet. You’d think “don’t automatically believe grand claims made by strangers online and presented with zero evidence” would be common sense, but it rarely seems to be practiced. And not just the internet; there are plenty of times when I’ve tracked down the primary sources for articles and found that they painted a very different story from the one presented.

I actually think people have been more skeptical of ChatGPT responses than they have about confident human created nonsense.

The thing that makes the RPi such a great choice when there are so many choices is the community and the plethora of information about the platform. Here’s the hardware and the software that we know works, and piles of people have it running right now. Mix in an unknown element and who know how it’s going to behave. Let alone where you can get help.
Encapsulation and inheritance in object-oriented programming languages
I thought it was an accident?
The short answer is that the standard inflation control model can be done through either monetary or fiscal policy, but monetary policy is depoliticised enough that it's easier to do it there. Doing it through fiscal policy by raising taxes, especially at the top end, is just too politically infeasible.

(also, this process does not in and of itself transfer profit to banks! the bank's margin is generally a fixed number on top of the floating central bank rate)

“developers can verbally give natural language prompts.”

One more reason to demand remote work. I really do not want to be sitting next to the guy who spends 8 hours talking to his computer.
I think this is just a standard API access prompt. The GitHub Next page clearly indicates it is (C) GitHub Inc and the blog post makes GitHub's control clear.
It makes sense for the Fed to raise rates to something closer to historical averages. But the speed at which they've chosen to hike rates shows they were asleep at the wheel for the past two years and are now slamming the breaks - there will be more collateral damage.

When you use copilot integrated in the editor, does microsoft collect all source code data on your project or only context used to perform the completions?
Do you have evidence to back these claims? Specifically that AI will be replacing software engineers any time soon and that Copilot exists explicitly to gather data towards that purpose.
That can't happen that easily. And not by the courts. If the whole government is totally opposed they might drag their feet.
They also function in a tribal manner where judeo christians do not, jewish and islamic communities help each other they don't have as many factions and in fighting as christians do. when a muslim or a jew opens a business they hire family and friends and people from their religious community, christians will hire anyone because that's what the christian religion is about, helping people regardless of who they are. it's very noble but in a capitalistic economic system it doesn't give christians any advantage.
A Simple Framework for Architectural Decisions
It was seriously considered by Apple as the successor of the classical MacOS but they got too greedy with the price and Apple went with a NextStep based OS.

In all honesty BeOS had no leverage because they were so committed to build the successor of MacOS that they had no alternative plan
> it isn't just AI that has destroyed the written word: the internet, smart phones, and cute emoji have already done an exemplary job of that.

I agree. I keep thinking ChatGPT's conversational abilities are massively oversold. Perhaps our expectations of human communication have been ground down over the years by 140-char discourse and 15 second videos.
Assets of any kind can be embedded in the executable and accessed via the embed.FS interface. This makes it trivial to bundle up all dependencies if desired.
So can I just start another process with SO_REUSEADDR and gracefully shutdown the old process?

The master/worker thing that nginx / gunicorn et al do is pretty neat, but relies on signals; so seems pretty messy and error prone to write yourself.
Can you link to this research? Perhaps an overview link would make a good OP for Hacker News.
there's nothing wrong with that because the resulting image does blur (pixelate) to the same output. As do many other images. Did you expect it to pick Obama as an output for a reason?

I think something you should consider is the heirarchical nature and the tight integration of business, politics and social policy in the CCP vs the US.

In the US, it’s more like a loose federation of aligned interests vs a top down, integrated system. If Facebook is doing bad things and being used to facilitate propaganda, it’s largely a failure of Facebook and the lack of appropriate legislation or oversight.

Whereas TikTok has been accused of promoting pro-China viewpoints, and the reality is the way business is operated there, the lines are blurred between what TikTok the company does and what TikTok the CCP controlled entity does.
I honestly don't think it's going to be a risk for developers. I don't believe you can accurately run attribution on any of the source code generated for you, right? If so, that should give you plausible deniability, while putting all the liability on Github's shoulders. It's their responsibility to make sure they don't violate licenses in their own model.
Thank you! We'll make sure to improve the readme and add more explanation to it.
Even easier, in a way... a Parallax Propeller and program in SPIN (their proprietary structured BASIC-like language), or C++ etc.

Exotic, but simpler mental model for most people. 8 independent cores and a simple non-interrupt driven programming model for doing basic timing and I/O with any of the 32 pins configurable for either input or output.

And super easy to interface both 3v and 5v, available in DIP, and in various easy format boards.
Wow this seems really useful! Is it bad the first thing I think when I see this is how a nefarious government can use it with bad intentions?
It’s very simple. Fed needs to stop printing / creating money.
High inflation has painful solutions. Pain from inflation is worse than basically any of the benefits from the extra spending government has done the last many years.
I hope that Copilot X will be brought to other IDEs as well, not just Visual Studio [Code].

You think HN is filled with people from the humanities fields? That would be odd. At minimum I think it’s fair to say that HN has a majority that don’t. In which case, if that dictated their views, your post should be net positive on votes. Instead I think it’s more likely that plenty of HN folks that work in STEM fields have also known people who are very smart that don’t work in such fields.

Being good at something doesn’t automatically make a person go into that for their career.
I'll bite!

We used to ship software, on discs, and we didn't have the Internet to update it.

There is plenty of software out there that works via your linux distress package manager. Note that this isn't everything you can get from your package manager. Plenty of things that are available are broken or miersable to get working unless you get the container/vm version.

What's the reason to think that it reduces the amount of creative code that's written. Doesn't it just let you get through the copypastable stuff faster - all things being equal I'd assume it means you spend more time on the creative parts.
Previous societies never required that 80% of the working population be scribes.

Being a scribe is hard. It was an unusual ability to such an extent that it reinforced the medieval notion of a "vocation" (a calling or duty to do this work).

Now we require every worker who wants to rise above the level of retail sales to be capable of spending hours a day going down columns of detailed textual data in Excel or Airtables, or managing a queue of e-mails, or smoothly transitioning between inventory and maintenance.

It is less that we are more distracted or distractable now and more that our current tasks are significantly affected by distraction.

We're being forced by the labor market to pretend that we aren't chimpanzees.
I'm not sure how to respond to that comment, which I find profoundly shocking and depressing. I've read some HN comments before which for some reason suggest a large-scale nuclear "war" wouldn't be so bad, but..this one seems even much worse, for some reason. I don't get it. I don't get how anyone could believe or write that.

Anything I could write seems so obvious. I can't think. I think I need a break from HN for a while. You don't seem to have been downvoted in 5 hours.
Interesting take, lapcat. I'm curious and I'm sure someone has an answer. It baffles me that Wall Street investors were shorting SVB in January and the FDIC did not step in until the bank run made it necessary two weeks ago.

Especially in the U.S., why doesn't a regulatory body like the FDIC not have a dashboard that would monitor items like the debt exposure SVB had so they could get involved before a takeover had to happen?
I believe the poster is responding as the good doctor would.
> It's not simply that men are not thinking about women

You're thinking about it wrong, like it's some kind of blame. It's "if the primary decision makers were women this would have been a showstopping problem" with something completely different needing to take its place.

You're one decision too far in the logic, "given everything about the existing design of charging stations where should we place them" when it would have been, "good lord we're designing these things to be unattended and put in garages and parking lots. Yikes. A woman visibly broadcasting that she's immobile in an isolated location for 30 minutes at night -- good plan, I see no problems with this."
It certainly is a citation. What makes you say that referring to a specific paper via the name of the authors isn’t citing it? That’s the definition of the word. It’s not a formal academic citation, but it is a citation.

I’m well aware of the shorthand, it was the subtitle for the paper (“unskilled and unaware of it”), and that is more or less exactly what I’m talking about, because it’s not generally true. People also tend to claim that excessive confidence signals low competence in the name of DK, which may be implied in the comment above. Both of those concepts are basically incorrect, DK didn’t broadly measure what people know or don’t know, they used 4 narrow tests, one of which was subjective(!). Nor did they measure confidence, and when it comes to normal topics that people get college degrees in, followup research has shown the effect disappears and sometimes reverses [1]. The DK paper essentially measured how well people can guess their rank amongst a small set of peers (Cornell undergrads), which unsurprisingly isn’t perfect because it’s a guess. This is why DK is probably only poor methodology measuring a regression to the mean [1][2], and not uncovering anything interesting about human behavior.

[1] https://www.talyarkoni.org/blog/2010/07/07/what-the-dunning-...

[2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning–Kruger_effect#Statisti...

It’s just better to not mention DK in the first place, it’s not something you can observe on a single speaker outside of a statistical study, and it simply doesn’t apply to all topics and all people, even when one does understand what the paper did show.
Software Development and related careers are the only ones where grown up adults with years of experience in their fields are still treated like college students in the interview process.

It doesn't matter if you wrote a library 15 years ago still being used today by hundreds of thousands of developers around the world some even working for the company interviewing you.

Were you responsible for designing and building QA systems used by Boeing and NASA? That's cool, now please write a bubble sort algorithm on a whiteboard and then guess how many cars there are in the US (explain your thought process).

Imagine how ridiculous and insulting it would be for a seasoned lawyer, a doctor or a CPA, to endure this nonsensical, pointless scrutiny when interviewing for a job.

But somehow in tech this is not only common but accepted by job seekers as normal.
You can always share ports.

But the one way to do no downtime deployments is to have more than one server.
I only use it for side projects right now, and in the past for a real production application for which "high availability" was not a problem (I could do ocasional maintenance windows out of work hours). Here's how I did it in case it helps you:

> deploy from source repo? Terraform?

I use Dokku (https://dokku.com/), then the workflow is the same as if you'd be using Heroku

> keep software up to date? ex: Postgres, OS

Automattic ubuntu updates + I once a week SSH to it and apt-get update, etc.

> do load balancing? built-in load balancer?

I just don't. I don't need for the load of my projects.

> handle scaling? Terraform?

Just vertical scaling for now. A single powerful server can do great before you might need to add more servers.

> automate backups? ex: databases, storage. Do you use provided backups and snapshots?

I just enable the "backup" feature on their admin panel. Adds 20% to the cost but works great and it's easy.

> maintain security? built-in firewall and DDoS protection?

I only expose the HTTP(s) and SSH ports, and I also have setup fail2ban for bruteforce attacks.

> If there is any open source automation scripts please share.

Dokku.

I still put the single file in a docker container because docker isn't complex.
building blocks of what? WHAT???
I disallow copying of copyrighted code into our product repositories unless the license is clear, I have even reached out to people to directly license copyrighted software, or for them to relicense their public AGPL/GPL license (for a fee).

To answer your statement directly:

1) StackOverflow submissions are CC-BY-SA, so if a person copies' code from there, even if it's copyrighted you can consider it good faith and remove the offending code from your product. This is actually a licensing nightmare but the current situation is the same as when the music industry accidentally uses an unlicensed sample and there's no current reason to consider it otherwise.

2) Github has a neat repository licensing feature (LICENSE) so you can easily tell what repo has what, not having a license file means the repository is fully copyrighted by default by the way; if we bundle GPL code then we would have to open source our game, which is not going to happen, so no you're not allowed to just copy code, but you can take inspiration; which is what Copilot is saying you should do in their terms *NOT COPY CODE VERBATIM*.

Ultimately: Software licensing is a joke to you because it doesn't really concern you, however it concerns me as it is quite literally part of my job to protect the company from being sued over doing something wrong here.

Aren't they already doing this, if your documents are in Sharepoint or Google Drive? I have assumed so, but with no basis

Was flagged as part-time, possible because they mention "PART REMOTE".
The answer is the Fed does its job when it can (stoking aggregate demand with cheap money, destroying it when credit expansion velocity exceeds certain metrics), and Congress enacts fiscal policy instead of being useless.

If you leave it all to the Fed, everything is a nail, with the hammer being the benchmark rate. Creating too much money is not great, but poorly targeted or no government fiscal policy is equally disastrous. No one party is at fault, the system requires fixing.
the use of commas and how it concludes statements is what usually gives it away

the current work use cases for GPT is almost worse than crypto mining in terms of wasted compute resources:

>manager uses GPT to make an overly long email

>readers use GPT to summarize and respond

then on the search front:

>Microsoft and Google add these tools into their office suites

>will then have to use more resources with Bing and Google Search to try and analyze web content to see if it was written with AI

Huge amounts of wasted energy on this stuff. I'm going to assume that both Google and Microsoft will add text watermarks to make it easy for them to identify at some point
She was not when she did these speaking engagements.
I think you're reading too much into the phrase "can be ruled out." I suspect that the leader author was saying "Contamination is possible, but based on our procedures, test methods, etc, the overwhelmingly larger probability is that we did detect <...> in the samples, and that the detection was not from pre- or post-contamination."

Could the paper's conclusions be incorrect? Yes, I think everyone--the authors included--will agree that "something could have gone wrong." But pointing out that "something could have gone wrong" is probably not a new idea to most readers.
Until they're good enough to liquidate them for fuel.

As long as you use a good power supply along with Ethernet instead of WiFi, Raspberry Pis are rock solid in my experience.

Regardless, I'd also recommend setting up the hardware watchdog just in case. It's saved me in the past when I overloaded my Pi with a bad cron job.
You're not the only one. I will say that comfort often comes with practice.

I do pair programming sessions with people as part of my job. This has made me a substantially better at pair programming as part of interviewing (on both sides). Perhaps it would be worthwhile for you to time to work with some colleagues to build some of these muscles.

I do agree that alternatives should be offered if someone is uncomfortable.
Not everyone - me and quite a few others I know tried it and turned it off.

It might be better now they've improved it, but for the sort of work I do (maintain a mature Kotlin codebase) the prior version wasn't a productivity upgrade, it was a downgrade because the type system and IDE generated more accurate suggestions that I don't have to double check for errors. Copilot and ChatGPT both seem to have error rates too high for this sort of work.

I can see though, that once I switch to some other sort of work it might be more valuable.
I used sympy the other day for the first time. I was blown away by that library I wish I had known about this years ago.
Also probably says quite a lot about their working culture.
This is the difference between standard usage and jargon.

Chemists consider any covalent compound involving carbon that isn't only carbon to be "organic".

Normal usage is what you wrote.

Alternative but widespread usage is "agricultural products made without synthesized fertilizers and pesticides".

Oh, and business jargon uses organic to mean "natural market growth or internally developed capabilities", as opposed to buying the growth or capability.

And in military usage, organic means "a permanently assigned assisting unit", so that routine vehicle maintenance, for example, is handled by people who travel with the vehicle.
> For some reason they seem to think it will work when the book is electronic and small enough.

Do you mean a stationary exercise bike?

I don't read books on those because I am usually sweating and I don't want to get that on the book. Also, most paperbacks are pretty springy, so sometimes I need to have one hand holding them open, or some kind of clip system on the bike.

iPads or Kindles don't have these problems, so I can certainly imagine using them instead. I don't, probably because of an irrational aversion to getting anything from the grungy gym on my personal devices.
I've been away from direct work with Python + Django (P/D) for a couple of years. One of my issues with P/D has always been that deployment on anything other than one of the specialized services is an absolute pain in the ass.

In the PHP world, you can get a simplest of servers from any host, upload the files and you are up and running. With P/D, well, it's a lot of work.

I have developed this opinion that, while useful, Django's SQLite and runserver approach for getting up and running quickly actually is detrimental. To run a real site you have to break all of that, deal with static content, etc., etc. I could also argue that the default directory structure, while simple, it is also detrimental when moving to production.

In other words, sometimes I feel it would be far better if P/D initial setup was closer to a canonical installation that could be run on any server with something as close as possible to a simple FTP file transfer (just like PHP).

One can always make things more complex (multiple servers, load balancers, etc.). However, I truly believe the P/D ecosystem is seriously missing the point when not delivering a 5-minute install that actually is a basic production-ready install on any server.

Have things changed at all in this regard over the last couple of years?
Concern over this is the #1 reason I have not yet tried to use Copilot. For my hobby projects I don't care enough to pay for it. And if it's phoning home proprietary code, I can't allow that to happen.
