I use an app called Time Recording: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dynamicg.t...

I track time spent on work broken down into dozens of subtasks, which is really helpful for analysing later and estimating future work. It's easy and quick to switch tasks or retroactively adjust or track time. There are various reports you can view or export as CSV.
The difference is that the average distro user cannot just push a new ISO image to the mirror network, say after changing some installer defaults (or more realistically, push a new QCOW2 image). There's also a substantial delay between mirror pushes and the update being ready for installation everywhere, something that developers probably would not accept in their pipelines.
I'd expect them to be far less devastated given they haven't been at the fronlines in the most intense parts of the war.
"But Wattabout ... Wage Theft" is just a standard trope-response on Hacker News whenever there's anything about "theft".
Yes, this works.

Actually while planning one SSE operation, we heavily debated the best way to break glass windows. One guy on the team wanted to tape around the edges, attach a suction cup to the center, and break the window with a spark plug. While that would work, and be the quieter option, I decided it would be too slow and too complicated. I was expecting to break a lot of windows, and we only had 2 hours for SSE. So in the end, I decided to just smash the window with a crowbar, and run the crowbar violently along the edges to clear out any big broken glass still not detached from the window frame. Then make entry.
Ask HN: Is it possible to compile TypeScript to Golang?
Typescript lets me write the complex logic, but the Node concurrency model being single-threaded is very limited.

So ideally I would want to have Typescript running in Golang. Is there such a possibility?

My only experience with GNUStep is that 10 years ago, as a student, I needed to port a random CLI Cocoa app (that a different student wrote to learn Cocoa) to GNUStep.

There was a weird bug that took me forever to debug… and in the end, it was caused by some horrible bug in some map structure (NSDictionary? I think?) where a NSString unicode key did not map to the same value every time. Quite basic stuff. (It worked fine on Mac.)

As a student I didn’t really know how to report bugs, so I didn’t; I just wondered how did nobody catch it until now; but I just thought that probably nobody really uses GNUStep so that’s why.

It’s just anecdotal and I don’t really have access to the code anymore so I cannot tell you the details. (the original code was far from perfect too, maybe it was some unicode weirdness.)
I cannot imagine being rich and be surrounded by homeless people, crime, drugs and the like.

The only „solution“ that still avoids realizing the problem is to try to escape into gated communities and shoot those plebs coming too close, ideally robots so no human is at fault conveniently. Or what useful is having that mercedes when most others want to steal or at least damage it?

I, for one, prefer to treat other humans as, well, humans. And by making everyone around me better off, my quality of life also improves.

For simple striking example, how about giving homeless people housing for free, so they can get their stuff together again? You can argue about how „they„ don’t deserve this all day long or simply do it and eliminate a problem https://world-habitat.org/news/our-blog/helsinki-is-still-le... - and even save a lot of money in the process as a society!

This is a review essay of Benny Shanon, The Antipodes of the Mind: Charting the Phenomenology of the Ayahuasca Experience (Oxford University Press, 2002), which is a detailed phenomenological account of what happens when one takes ayahuasca, a psychoactive concoction from South America. Ayahuasca is traditionally taken in the company of others and accompanied by music, which paces the visions and affects their content. The effect is that of entering another world. I offer some speculation about underlying neural processes, much based on the work of Walter Freeman’s speculation that consciousness is organized as short discontinuous whole-hemisphere states. I also speculate on the similarity between the dynamics of ayahuasca experience, as Shanon has described it, and the dynamics of skilled jazz improvisation; and I point out that what Shanon reports as a second-order vision seems to be involved in Coleridge’s “Kubla Khan”.
> the words have a warmth that generated text lacks

Reminds me of my philosophy teacher in high-school that gave me the best grade of the year and praised how "personal" it felt, for an essay I had bought online for 3 euros.

> For example, the infamous "air conditioner explosion" was later confirmed to be a targeted strike of the Luhansk state administration building by the Ukrainian government.

"Confirmed" by Radio Free Europe, a notable russian propaganda outlet. The only sources they're basing it on are the OSCE saying it's probably rockets, the fucking Daily Beast and CNN saying that the explosion patterns looked like it came from airbust weapons, that could have been fired by an Su25/Su27. Yes, the ukrainian forces have those. You know who else does ? The russian troops explicitly supporting the DPR and LNR with logistics and hardware. The reality of things is, we have no idea who did it, whether it was a false flag, a mistake, an actual ukrainian attack, or anything else.

>do you think it's the Russian or rebel forces bombed Luhansk and Donetsk since 2014

Luhansk and Donetsk were being invaded by a foreign country. Why should Ukraine not be able to respond to an invasion, or to terrorists being funded by said foreign country ?

(which ironically makes their house worth a bit less, because of increased low-quality supply leads to slightly lower price locally)

increasing density leads to having higher-quality services around, which would increase value

Guidelines for designing a custom Topre keyboard (2017)
If the US was actually fighting, they would be doing a lot more, like bombing Russia and sending the Navy to the Black Sea.

Not to mention Russia would then have to attack NATO territory, which they are carefully avoiding.

Neither the US or Russia is acting like the US is one of the sides.
>Given Russia couldn’t conquer Ukraine first time round, it seems unlikely that they will be able to support a sustained campaign against a country that isn’t going to give up

They're pretty much going to have to give up at some point. The west can't feed them with sufficient arms and ammunition to keep up and it has blown through all of its spares. It can ramp up to match, but probably not within the next 2 years which is too late.

Western media has been putting a spin on this in the last week (e.g. blinken's "Ukraine will have to recover some territory through political means"), but it's pretty clear if you look at the production numbers, current shell rates, etc.

It's also why some Republicans are starting to feign being anti-war - to try and make this "Biden's" war, so in the event of failure the failure gets chalked up to him.

Well there is going to be a lot of geocities style websites coming back as the GPT clients can certainly output valid HTML, without any acquired taste when it comes to web design.

There are two sides of an information/propaganda war currently fighting.

After the last few years of information war at home, it doesn’t surprise me that people are sucked into the false narratives of both sides rather than taking the time and effort to try and make sense and discern truth ourselves.
A lot of what we do as programmers, writers or artists IS 'prompt engineering'. All that AI is replacing (generalizing? automating?) is execution. Prompt engineering is the 'what' of the 'how'.

"They should have sent a poet"- not NASA, but a screenplay written by some sort of poet.

If there's a singularity it will be in this: you speak of real programmers doing the work to make this AI, but it seems like a hell of a lot of this 'real programmer work' is not poetry. Someone put together the ideas that make code resonate with how people think (for good or ill) and then a lot of real programmers groveled over tedious Python code or whatever, to make it happen at scale.

That tedious groveling and scale is what took the effort, but it's that which can be replaced by machine learning.

Art is prompt engineering. 'Always has been'. We don't master penmanship in the age of the keyboard. People still buy very expensive pens and write in longhand for the beauty of it, but it ceased to be a requisite chore many years ago.

Value the correct side of the balance. If you can't beat the guy with poorer execution by having a better eye and better prompt-imagining, you're not the better artist, you just have better penmanship.

Same for programmers. Best put your effort into trying to understand… because that's going to be a seller's market. You're right that most people won't keep up with understanding, and that's going to directly set their value.
Could you please elaborate on how you utilize both of them together, and for which specific use case? I'm attempting to gain a better understanding of the hybrid approach.

So, I suppose, you may never know, huh? Because it could be.
I do feel as though a lot of the initial conditions that existed around the time of React’s release are mostly no longer relevant and many of the assumptions that it was built around are no longer true.

It never cared much about the gaps that started to develop between “the React way” and the underlying web platform and now it’s off in its own weird self contained ecosystem and doesn’t play particularly well with anything else.

It also is one of those frameworks that starts forcing you to extend the same broken abstractions further and further into the rest of your stack up into your backends and data models. That isn’t a healthy sign at all.

> NATO has been expanding to the East and antagonising paranoid Russia.

It's actually independent states which chose to align themselves with NATO instead of Russia.

Interestingly in some countries it was the post-communists who spearheaded the effort.

Then you don't know neither awk or sed. Most of awk can be redone in Perl with ease, and for regex matching and replacing with sed, PCRE and Perl were practically made for that.

I mean, sometimes for small edits sed it's better, and awk for some tabular based files by using xml2tsv or lots of TSV related tools.

But for medium sized projects, Perl it's the obvious tool against something that requieres something similar to awk/sed but more complex data parsing.
What a grab bag of bigotry, it's almost impressive to smush all that together into one grand conspiracy. For bonus points though consider adding "round earth liars", and it's almost a shame it's missing some kind of ivermectin related point.
Even here in Czechia, where we mostly build out of brick/stone/concrete (and not wood), ordinary 1950s and older homes are pretty undesirable unless thoroughly modernized. (Luxury homes are a different story.)

One of my colleagues lived in such a multi-apartment block where there was a common toilet for the entire floor, so four households. In freezing weather, the toilet was bitterly cold.

The single state example the author provides in React seems more like a poor choice of data structure, if anything. I was expecting something more concrete or intricate, like "I want to interface with something that bangs on objects and mutates state in subtle ways that is incompatible with React". I can easily think of some interesting examples (e.g. attempting to use a CodeMirror view as a controlled form input), but I wouldn't say React "is hostile" to CodeMirror.

I've heard of Svelte but the only remarkable thing I hear about it is code-splitting, but I already have that together with live reloading and precise redefinition in modules when I use ClojureScript and React. So I don't know what I gain by changing tooling here. I guess it'd be nice to finally get a taste of what its like to not use Google Closure Compiler... but I do not want ever want to hard refresh a page or lose state simply because I changed the definition of a single variable.
Can it? Or are you just imagining that it might be able to one day?

The fact is, the country responsible for razing entire cities to the ground is not Ukraine. Russian incompetence tore down Mariupol, not ukrainian resistance.
He wants part of Ukraine and he wants the part he didn’t take to agree to never join NATO. Neither of those things are negotiable so here we are.

"Historically, these sorts of disruptions lead to short-term issues, and long-term employment growth"

I think the pace of AI advances may turn these disruptions into long-term issues and not lead to employment growth.

Yes, ChatGPT can be a multiplier on human productivity. But that's assuming you can learn how to use it correctly. The author here seems to know how to scale the complexity of the prompts in such a way that they get meaningful output (a complete website). That sort of prompting is a skillset in itself.

The problem as I see it is: how long is that skillset relevant before an even more advanced LLM comes along, forcing you to re-learn how to interact with it. Now consider that the next advancement need not come from an LLM, but some entirely different system that doesn't work via prompts. That skilled prompter needs a new skillset.

Technological innovations of the past have always come slowly enough that people could learn and master them before something new came along. It seems like things are moving so quickly in the AI space that may no longer be true.

With all that said, an example that gives me hope is chess. The rise of chess AI's has not killed chess in any sense. The players of the last few years are actually much stronger than pre-AI. Can the best players in the world beat Stockfish or Alpha-Go? Not even close. And so far that hasn't mattered. People still prefer to watch two human players.
Open-source high-performance RISC-V processor
Different times though. In those days, Linux was seen as an hacker OS and the likes of Ubuntu were niche and nerdy. Those who use Linux today if lived in that time, I'd wager a large majority would of been running Windows. Windows x64 wasn't even a thing in mainstream.

Flash was in Adobe hands and when the Linux plugin arrived, Adobe could of pushed development. Patched the exploits, however it felt like days after the purchase they had started nailing the coffin shut.

It wasn't until Linux threatened the Windows OS later on that development for Linux really took off and corporations took Linux more seriously; long after Flash's coffin was nailed tightly shut. "Flash didn't work on Linux" was because Linux wasn't a usable desktop unlike to what it is now. When Flash was a thing, you still needed to configure X, lucky to have sound, and even then required configuring your screen, mouse and keyboard manually. I'm, not sure that NVIDIA linux drivers were even a thing then.

I would be starting to worry because with the recent antics with Microsoft and Windows 11, they don't want you to install any other OS. They want you to use WSL and that, I wouldn't trust with a toothpick. How long until you require a "WSL license"?

Firefox is tearing at the seams and soon we will see the web dominated with chrome only websites. Heck, it's already happening.
When I was young I read a load of books and wrote a bunch of waffle about them (essays). The waffle wasn't much use to anyone except myself because the process of producing the waffle made me do some basic thinking.

So much human activity is about structuring our own thoughts so we can ascend to a higher level of activity and insight.

I mean everyone knows marketing plans are BS but they're part of a process of group thought.

I am genuinely amazed at some of the chats I've had with AI but I hope the outcome will simply be a clarification of what we are all actually doing.
React is a non-zero-overhead abstraction which in itself is fine. If you have different requirements or simply don't like this abstraction, pick another. Write software, not hateful (hostile) articles.

Not from my current experience.

I'm intending to try it out a lot more — perhaps turn my old Java/OpenGL desktop shareware games into browser based JavaScript freeware — but so far, it's like messaging a junior dev and having them write code for you: 98% of the code works fine, 2% is total rubbish that you spend a normal amount of time (i.e. ages) debugging.
The pre-trained model is stage 1 - it has seen everything, but it is wild. If you ask it "What is the capital of US?" it will reply "What is the capital of Canada?"...

Stage 2 is task solving practice. We use 1000-2000 supervised datasets, formatted as prompt-input-output texts. They could be anything: translation, sentiment classification, question answering, etc. We also include prompt-code pairs. This teaches the model to solve tasks (it "hires" this ability from the model). Apparently training on code is essential, without it the model doesn't develop reasoning abilities.

But still the model is not well behaved, it doesn't answer in a way we like. So in stage 3 it goes to human preference tuning (RLHF). This is based on human preferences between pairs of LLM answers. After RLHF it learns to behave and to abstain from certain topics.

You need stage 1 for general knowledge, stage 2 for learning to execute prompts, stage 3 to make it behave.
