Agile as you observe it ist just double speak for micromanagement in my experience.

What we experience is a caste of highly paid managers that a) don't understand the work their subordinates are doing, b) don't trust them and thus c) cannot understand the risks of a project for their personal careers.

Their, quite ingenious, response is "agile": Micromanage everything to mitigate b), but wrap that micromanagement in a "industry standard" process that hides everything behind double speak (scrum). In particular put an emphasis on the point that "the team decides" and "there are no deadlines in agile", while essentially driving all decisions informally (e.g., by prioritizing the backlog) and enforcing deadlines whenever you see fit. Thus, there's no overt responsibility left for a manager, effectively eliminating c).
First of all, that is not how ARM started, because at that point "ARM" already existed :)

The collaboration with Apple failed spectacularly. The only reason ARM is alive today is because Nokia and Ericsson needed a better CPU for their phones and ARM happened to be really power efficient (mainly by accident, but that's a story for another day).
entertainment venues, museums, restaurants, etc are usually getting an exception here. public transport and emergency services too. can't shut the country down.

i am actually curious how they do that in israel where the jewish law not to work on sabbath is taken much more seriously.
Yes it gets more expensive.
I've posted to a couple of places, but I don't remember exactly where all now. I think there was one sub-reddit and maybe something on Twitter or Facebook. I don't think I've tried scifi.se. I guess that is worth a shot. Thanks for the suggestion!
Musk had at least a reasonable excuse for RTO.

Because the way Tesla operates makes it more like Return To Factory, as large part of their staff works directly on plant floor.

For certain tasks you need to be on site, this is the case for many manufacturing jobs.
Well, get better data protection. Cash is a pain in the ass …
Yeah sure, but my point was that the current capitalist-maximalist ideology is that rich people have "earned" their wealth by "hard work" and thus should not be required to share with the rest of society. And that is just dump.

Personal wealth is to a first approximation just an expression of the hard work of other people (which is just another way of saying what you explained) and the luck of being in the right place at the right time (and more often than not having the right skin color, gender and social capital, also acquired by the work of other people). It should just be tolerated to the extend that it motivates people to take some risk to start businesses. But society does not have a moral duty to enable obscene personal wealth, quite on the contrary.

On a side note, your last comment is broadly correct but does skip over a lot of exploitation and repression that enabled the economic dominance of European nations in recent history. And again, this exploitation and dominance wasn't enabled by a particular genius or hard work on the Europeans' part. European societies were not more complex or sophisticated at any given time than i.e. many in Africa or East Asia.
This sounds extremely speculative. I expect that's why you're being downvoted. Exotic crypto conspiracies are not very popular on HN.
There is actually no such disagreement. The corporations and copyright mafia are very open about the fact that their profits are more important to them than the common good.
Spot on. The coffee already says what. If it doesn’t, probably could use a refactor.

Code doesn’t say why, who and especially why not. (It sometimes may say when, but the important when is always yesterday anyway.)
GPT4 has its hands tied behind its back. It does not have active learning and it does not have a robust system of memory or a reward/punishment mechanism. We only now start seeing work on this side [1]

It might not know more than you about your niche. I don't. I would search and I would try to reason, but if I was forced to give a token by token output that is answering the question as truthfully as possible, I might have started saying bullshit as well.

I don't think that the fact that gpt doesn't know things or does some things wrong is sufficient to save dev work from automation.

Getting involved, grass roots style. The feeling of powerlessness is exactly the way you become inert to do anything. “What can I do.”

Politics work from the local to the national, so getting involved locally is a good thing, or organizations that work to promote the ideals you want to see in the world.
I too have worked DOD. Good times.
I use Kagi as my search engine, however, Kagi has moved to a limited amount of searches for my price tier. So instead of searching "how do I do x in y?" I tend to ask ChatGPT instead. As SQL is my main language I tend to get really quick feedback if the code it supplied was valid or not.
Most writing sucks. Speaking as an intense hobby writer.
Bad writing is tolerated at a level that is not in any other consumer good.

We don't accept worms in our meals, we don't accept meals that are missing half the portions. Yet we expect plot holes, we expect stories that don't complete, or get hastily completed.

Most written stories suck, because it is incredibly time consuming to craft an interesting AND airtight story. Most writers resort to cliches, because cliches are 10 times faster to write. Writers resort to 'plot beats', because they are 10x easier to execute than letting character motivations and world events naturally play out. Just look at Game of Thrones, the book is original and natural, so it takes decades for 1 book. The show decided to make it fast, and we get an atrocious ending.

AI will change this. Writers will be come directors, directing the AI-simulated characters in their stories, guiding the world states. Writing becomes outlining the general plot, background setup, and themes of the story, and then the characters come alive via AI, and the story begins! With 10x faster iteration and experimentation, the quality of the stories will start spiking dramatically up.

This is the biggest change to fiction writing since the printing press. Novels will merge with comics (given images are cheap now), video games will have genuinely massive story branches (given stories can be iterated quickly), they may even have NPCs that are simulated via AI.

Fans will be able to write a proper conclusion to the Song of Ice and Fire, with AI-assisted writing. Even niche fantasy novels can get LOTR level adaptations etc.

This would be great for another reason: Social norms exclude the male population from being socially accepted to wear any kind of jewlery, with few exceptions (watches, studs, stickpin). This would help to increase inclusion.

Sounds really weird because you still have to screen people for software engineering jobs, while administering problems in an in-person interview is how it was being always done before coding competition platforms.

As to the platforms themselves, they are still usable for in-person interviews and practice.
This has not been my experience. If you describe what you want, it gets very close to writing correct code.

I’ve walked through a few very complex coding problems and although it took a few attempts, it eventually got there.
And what would you propose? I think just using a debit/credit card in any capacity would make it so someone is tracking your purchases.
> The content is not reusable (you cannot reuse content on other pages).
> The design is not consistent (pages often don’t look the same).
> The site is not maintainable (change on one page doesn’t propagate to other pages).
> The content is not maintainable (the content cannot be easily extracted from the database).
> The site is not very performant (page builders load a lot of extra assets).

All the above depends on the tool that's used. I've set up many sites that had page builder features but didn't have these drawbacks. Certainly there's many other tools out there. What OP seems to be talking about are page builders that output and store raw html.

> There’s always a missing feature (page builders cannot solve all your problems).

True, but that goes for literally anything you can use to build websites, all the way down to the HTML spec. And extending the page builder is often possible with professional help.

> Getting to know page builder doesn’t make you a developer (leave the job to a professional).

Developers are not by definition a professional in all aspects of page creation. A user well versed in, say, WordPress, will know about the drawbacks as well, and know how to mitigate them.

I'm not a big fan of page builders myself, but there's a place and time for these tools. I'm currently working with a team to implement a 1.000 page website in contentful and react, based on similar thinking as OP. It's an absolute shit show and it feels like being the hostage of 'professional developers'.

In the end the most important is to choose the right tool for the job, and there's a place for these page builders.

I often hear the interest rates yielded this result of massive inflation or massive recession. But I'm not sure I believe that. I'm not convinced that the 0% interest rates lead to the massive inflation. So a non-mainstream economist Richard D. Wolff asked the elephant in the room question which no one seems to be asking which is to point out that we don't know how much of the price increases is simply due to companies just wanting to make more profit. And his point is how do you rule out that companies increased prices just for more profit irregardless of what the interest rates are?
Wrong documentation is even worse than no documentation. Without it your at least force to look at the code and validate your assumptions. Get a feel for the code base. Wrong docs pointing you to tech that’s not even used is going to be a mess.
* Porting code (generally code that I've written) from one language or framework to another. For example, porting Python to JavaScript. [1]

* Getting started with a new platform. For example, describing the problem, and having it create a template in a front end framework, CSS framework, API generator.

* Creating instructional materials. Pasting in code and generating explanations, assessments, and grading rubrics. [2]

* Generating the first pass of API documentation, READMEs, test suites, and configuration files. Modifying configuration files. Finding configuration options based on NL descriptions.

* Quickly generating examples of API uses that are specific to my application. Finding out what libraries and APIs are available for a use case, based on an NL description.

* Learning what algorithms exist for a problem. Generating implementations of these in different languages, or that are specific to my code or data structures.

* Rarely-used system administrations commands. For example, how do I flush the DNS cache on macOS Safari and Chrome? (Questions such as this are actually better on Perplexity.ai than on ChatGPT.)

* Pasting in error messages or descriptions of problems, and asking for solutions.

* Tie-breaker questions about what to name a file, function, or set of functions.

In general, I find that it takes a lot of the drudgery out of programming. (Similar to Copilot, but for a different, generally more macro, set of areas.) For example, I asked it to solve a geometry problem and generate a test harness for both interactively and batch testing it. It's solution to the problem itself was a non-starter, but the test harness was great and would have been involved boring work in order to write.

I also use it to generate emails, project proposals, feedback, etc. I don't think it's ever come up with anything usable, but seeing what's wrong with its attempt is an easier way for me to get started than looking at a blank page or searching for examples of the writing form on the web are.

This shit literally makes me want to cry.

Just don’t eat octopuses, please.
Maybe the OP is also contaminated a bias of wanting to find errors in GPT-4?

Finding flaws in GPT-4 and ignoring the fact that we are at the dawn of AI, that seems like a good remedy to calm the AI existential crisis anxiety nowadays.
I'm reading though your responses trying to figure out what mysterious force is present in this hypothetical proportional representation country that prevents a majority subset of parties B - Z from forming a coalition.

Can't figure it out.

On the assumption that Party A just simply has the majority still? This objection lakes cogency, so maybe you could make this general objection more concrete by citing a country that finds itself in your abstract scenario?
Differential crawling to the rescue!
From my point of view, they hired because they had cheap money to invest, and then they fired when they no longer had it. This is entirely rational, IMHO. You can't time the market. Perhaps not moral or ethical but I don't see anything that would signal they don't know what they're doing. They don't care about you having a stable job, they care about moving projects forward, even if just for a while.
I don't recall anyone advocating omitting the name log4j when that security bug dropped in 2021. How is that situation materially different from this? redis-py fixed the behavior so it's definitely not the case of working-as-intended.

To be clear, I would be up in arms if OpenAI was trying to hold redis potentially legally responsible.
I'd argue a big difference between 2008 and now is that in 2008 we mostly saw an institutional run on the bank after Lehman, i.e. money market funds and other banks not trusting banks and refusing to lend longer term than overnight.

What we are seeing now is a retail run on the bank, the electronic equivalent of people hearing rumours on the street and queuing in front of branches (except now with twitter and their banking app). In some cases for good reason, others not so good.

I think the difference is that retail depositors don't look at financial ratios (and shouldn't be expected to be able to understand them). So how do you convince them?

One thing that is certain is that contrary to what the article says, none of the regulations introduced in response of the financial crisis helped. Higher capital ratios? Credit Suisse had 14% CET1 ratio and there was still a run. Higher liquidity requirement? Credit Suisse had over 200% LCR and there was still a run. Bailin? The swiss regulator judged that doing a full bailin of a large financial institution would be too disruptive to financial markets so only bailed in a small tranche of the CS capital stack (AT1). So what tools exactly are available to regulators that weren't in 2008?
And this is why VPNs exist. I ain't giving anyone id for anything like this.
The normal definition of money includes bank balances.

If you deposit $1000 of cash at a bank, and they loan it to someone else, you still have $1000 of money but now that other person also has $1000 of money.

But the abstract (and more accurate) version is even more interesting. Let's assume the person getting the loan deposits the money at the bank. Now we don't even need to touch cash. Giving out a loan is just adding 1000 to someone's account balance, in exchange for their contract to repay $1000+interest later.

A bank can do this over and over, and each time it creates $1000 of money. And when the loan is repaid, the money disappears.
ARM has two main architectures right now: 32-bit v7 and 32/64-bit v8-9. They sometimes run compressed ISA (eg thumb2) but that is still part of thr same architecture. I don't know what the blobs you mention have to do with this

RISC-V despite its young age is even more fragmented. This is because the Berkeley folks took their sweet time to finish important parts of the spec and in in the mean time multiple companies shiped out RISCV with home grown ISA changes.
The US government is unable to keep something as simple as its terrorist watchlist in good shape. People are constantly found to be terrorists when in fact, they are not. Imagine what it will be like when they can control your spending via digital currency.
There's also the aspect of fragility. Cash keeps working when the power or cell networks cut out.
Another problem with Yunohost at least is that is has no focus at all on security. There are other, like Sandstorm, that at least try to have some basic security.

The argument is that by creating unnecessary waste they are imposing an externality on everyone. Why should societies that control the rules of trade within them allow a company to force extra infrastructure on everyone for safely disposing of a much higher level of waste?

I think the suggested laws to combat this would be that companies must allow users to take control of their own devices once official support is no longer available. Paying enthusiasts to create a distribution of Linux for the device would be a cheap way of ensuring your devices fit that kind of law. It's just a way of saying that devices must be reusable, even without further manufacturer support.

I had an original ipad, and it was almost unusable within a year of me buying it because of forced software upgrades it couldn't take.
I disagree with you. I've used it in production for almost a decade now. There have been issues sure, but name me a single production-level technology that hasn't had problems?

- Microsoft Windows: Various versions of Windows have had critical security vulnerabilities over the years, leading to widespread malware outbreaks like WannaCry and NotPetya.

- OpenSSL: In 2014, the Heartbleed bug was discovered in OpenSSL, which left millions of websites vulnerable to attacks that could steal sensitive data.

- Apache Struts: In 2017, the Equifax data breach was caused by a vulnerability in Apache Struts, a popular open-source framework for building web applications.

- Boeing 737 Max: In 2018 and 2019, two deadly crashes were caused by a software flaw in the flight control system of the Boeing 737 Max airplane.

- Google Cloud: In 2020, a widespread outage of Google Cloud services caused disruptions for many businesses and organisations that rely on the platform for their operations.

Quick, someone make a project which gets ChatGPT to answer those memos
The bait and switch argument is so disingenuous. As if they don’t have the right to make money out of their product. Payment models change with the world and economy.
No I haven’t, but if you’re suggesting that these so-called unnatural constructs can be damaging to the world, that is certainly true, but the flipside is that they also lead to great progress.
Honest question: Why so many people attribute "thinking", "knowing, "understanding", "reasoning", "extrapolating" and even "symbolic reasoning" to the outputs of the advanced token-based probabilistic sequence generators, also known as LLMs?

LLMs are inherently incapable of any that - as in mechanically incapable, in the same way a washing machine is incapable of being an airplane.

Now my understanding is that the actual systems we have access to now have other components, with the LLM being the _core_, but not _sole_ component.

Can anybody point me to any papers on those "auxiliary" systems?

I would find it very interesting to see if there are any LLMs with logic components (e.g. Prolog-like facts database and basic rules that would enforce factual/numerical correctness; "The number of humans on Mars is zero." etc.).
How do you distinguish between big and small projects?
I’m not sure I understand your point with the bikes. Communication , in writing or speaking, is really just sharing ideas. I saw a lot of drawings of bikes in your link. Are you just saying that people lose the details which ultimately don’t matter? I don’t think of “chainstays” when picturing a bicycle.

We aren't state machines. We are capable of conscious reasoning which GPT or any computer is not.

We can understand our own limitations, know what to research and how, and how to follow a process to write new code to solve new problems we have never encountered.

Our training set trains our learning and problem solving abilities, not a random forest.
How do you purpose Netflix, Salseforce, etc. charge their clients if they don’t even know who their clients are?

No, it’s not broadly correct, because “when does copyright expire” has no relevance to “setting back the concept of human knowledge”.

Human knowledge remains entirely unaffected by this ruling.
I simple mix and match. Almost all page builders have shortcodes or codeblocks in some shape way or form. I can do easy things the easy way or use code plumbing where necessary. Pick the right tool for the job is a skill by itself I always found (that and everything takes twice as long as you think it does)
"Aquanauts". "Water sailors". Since the water is implied by the sailor bit (astronauts and aeronauts being effectively "sailors but in space"/"sailors but on the air"), couldn't we just say.... "Nauts"? Or, to stick more closely to the Greek, "Nautes"?
> and even a bit of therapy

I’d be very careful with relying on gpt for anything health related; I’m not saying there can’t be benefits, just that the risks increase exponentially.
We feel the same. I’m ready to lose my mind.
Who wouldn’t trust this unimpeachable source of information about bank health?

I know, I know. Snark isn’t allowed. Feel free to downvote if you love how Chase Bank treats you as a customer.
Once you acknowledge their bias, they do know an awful lot about banking

Sure, but I really don't. And a lot of other folks are the same. I know they are both biased and have financial incentives to lie or mislead me. As much as I might try, I know I might not be able to parse out the bullshit from the facts. Those facts are gonna stink of the bullshit even if I can verify it.

At least with something like a plumber, I can get a second opinion and so on, and I might just be able to take care of the issue myself instead. This just isn't the case with a bank.
But you are still using docker. My company has always hosted our own repository for containers, that wasn’t the argument being made - it was that people and companies would move away from docker
What company is pulling straight from docker hub anyway? You just blindly trust whatever is there?
That's a very good point. I don't have any data, but I feel like many industries have been consolidated into the hands of few companies since the crisis of 2008. Now they all can raise prices together using inflation as an excuse.

See the big oil and its record profits last year for an example.
Entirely open (at best) question, which no smug hacker news commenter is going to answer. What does one do?

(My current longshot hope? Digital democracy, on the backs of open source production economies running on the latest AI for highly-accessible/affordable data processing / labor. If we just start making online group decisions and scale it up, that's a power bloc that can run its own parties and strongarm existing gov processes - assuming the network even wants to interact with them... )
If I have too many ideas floating around my head I will forget some of them. So I write them all down as short bullet points, and skim them when I'm stuck.
