> I myself wrote 2 small-to-medium apps in a day using ChatGPT and added them to Github. I'm wondering if looking at Github history is now perhaps as useless as asking a potential writer for a writing sample.

If I'm your hiring manager, I won't be bothered by it, since I know you can use ChatGPT to solve problem, which is what the company needs. But I will still need to assess you more in detail, to ensure that you can develop / solving problem well without ChatGPT, in case somehow it's unusable or provide wrong answers.
You can just do stuff
Amazon (at least used to, when I last looked at joining them) had a cash compensation max of around 175k-200k for essentially all engineers, with all comp greater than that coming as equity (with, according to what I heard, a 15% per-year assumed increase in the stock price factored into your comp package). So the employees really do care about the value of the stock, since a very large % of their comp comes from that going up.
You can write the answer as a recurrence in symbolic form.

That's the point GP is making. FAANG salaries aren't too high, median salaries are too low.
"Children's privacy" isn't a thing. They are wards of their parents, whose basic fucking job requires they have some clue where the kid is and what they're getting up to.

Then you bring up porn, something illegal for children to be accessing anyway. You are aware of this, yes?

Shame on parents for daring to uphold the law in their own homes.
You still have to include the entire previous conversation, even with the API.
Clearly you haven't read it then.

The provided example directly shows ability in mathematical reasoning by coming up with a novel concept and example case, it is just poor in arithmetic.

Math is not simply arithmetic abilities, you seem unable to comprehend this.
I'm in the middle of porting a project from arduino to esp-idf. If you want to do anything slightly complex with the Bluetooth stack, those features just don't exist in the arduino core. It's very frustrating.
> I think one of the things that really separates us from the high primates is that we’re tool builders. I read a study that measured the efficiency of locomotion for various species on the planet. The condor used the least energy to move a kilometer. And, humans came in with a rather unimpressive showing, about a third of the way down the list. It was not too proud a showing for the crown of creation. So, that didn’t look so good. But, then somebody at Scientific American had the insight to test the efficiency of locomotion for a man on a bicycle. And, a man on a bicycle, a human on a bicycle, blew the condor away, completely off the top of the charts.

> The meaning of words change over time. Sometimes this means words that weren't too derogatory in the past become known as heinous insults in the modern day.

That doesn't give anyone the right to change someone else's writings without their approval.

People need to be capable of understanding the context of the situation/time when something was written. They don't need to be pampered to because something might hurt their feelings.

Do you cure cancer if it means that 100 million people will lose their jobs?
This is only partially true. A great example is Arithmetic coding in compression where research pretty much stalled for almost 40 years (from the mid 1970s until the 2010s) due to patent concerns.
If you see a bank offering 4.75 percent on a certificate vs another offering 2.75, which one would you choose? If you always choose the highest, should you not have a stake if the bank was found to take a lot of risk to offer this higher rate?
54% of SVB’s loan book was loans “to” VCs and PEs, but they weren’t loans based upon the funds’ portfolio holdings. They were Capital Call lines, based on the power of the VC to demand that its LPs make good on capital commitments.

(Yes, the fund portfolio holdings were pledged as additional collateral here but that’s secondary. The only thing that could make the CCLOC outstandings get marked down is if the well-heeled institutions and individuals who’ve committed to VC funds stop making their capital calls.)

Even SVB is not crazy enough to lever up against VC portfolio marks.
> just much better than the status quo

The status quo being regular doctors? Because that's the status quo, professional doctors.

Having a bot that you can cue and prime towards something is very dangerous in the medical scene.

> Remember, totally legit doctors were peddling opioid pills to patients in the name of "Treating undertreated pain". Profit distorts human minds very easily.

If ChatGPT was trained on those same data that these legit doctors were taught, it would lead to the same diagnosis.
Agree with your assessment of technological innovation lowering cost over time.

Disagree that all goods and services behave the same way. As counter-examples look at the HHH of higher than inflation industries: healthcare, higher education and housing all of which experienced growth in cost at double digit rates in recent times.

Also, I am not arguing that a widower who buys a certificate of deposit deserves the same rate of return as someone investing in a risky tech stock - they don’t.

I do think there should be a safe option for savers to store their savings for a modest return net of inflation - say 2-3% for the time value of the money.

Savings != Investment

They are separate use cases and there should be room for both.

> If a student already knew the material before taking the class and got that A, "they didn't learn anything," said Greene. And "if the student came in and struggled to get a C-plus, they may have learned a lot."'

Courses are designed to cover material. Learning a lot may indicate being poorly prepared, and would not inherently be cause for advancement, even if cause for celebration.

Having knowledge be the focus does not require the suspense of accountability.
Politicians are the first to go.

well, thermo is from the greek word thérmē meaning heat. we use the termo- suffix for all things that involve heat (thermodynamics -> termodinámica, thermometer -> termómetro)
Depending on the distribution, they may be correct
I reckon a 0% chance, at least in the US. There's pretty much no way to effectively regulate this, and the opportunity cost of stopping the innovation is probably too great. There's a liability problem, but it dovetails with a money trail so it will get solved.
I really really resisted things like AMD's FSR which are dynamic resolution rendering systems, upscaled with extra tricks to native.

But I got Warhammer 40k: darktide, and it savaged my old rx580 & I gave it a go. I'm surprised how pleasant and workable it is. It's way beyond boring up scaling, uses extra hints, but fundamentally it's a big extra-hinted upscaler, and I'm shocked how OK the experience is, how not bad it looks.

To be clear, I'm not suggesting trusting the certificate itself - I'm suggesting trusting the signing CA from the certificate, and so also trusting any future certificates for the same host signed by the same CA
> Personally, I find it a bit pathetic and childish. I say this as a long time software engineer who knows perfectly well how this business works.

How does this business work?

Why is software special? This happens the same in construction and other industries. The estimates usually make 0 sense and there are often huge delays. Same as store openings, film production, etc.

There's a problem with tinkering and devs going off in the wrong direction but on the flip side when people say that something is done in an hour or a day often never happens. Managers and agile practices that want tasks broken done to the smallest atom just messes things up. To make things work product often never has accurate requirements to that detail either so that complicates things even more. The requirements change on the fly.

Except that making lateral moves has almost always resulted in higher salaries regardless of macroeconomic trends. The competition may be giving current employees sub-inflation raises as well, but odds are that they're willing to pay more than your current company on an initial offer.

It's a funny bit, but following the Looney Tunes logic lawyers would be next... and I'd rather avoid AI legal council.

Also, the idea of AI democracy escapes me. Why do people think that the sum of all written text will somehow amount to utopia? It's like a mirror image of the people who thought that taking the accountability out of money would fix it's exploitation problem (cough cryptocurrency cough).
These systems sure hallucinate text.
You mean we're all a special case :)
Yes but also No.

Onboarding or 'getting someone up to speed' is a far more invasive and disruptive task than many believe. Manager probably dream about adding and removing employees as easily as buying more or less food for a catering event. Institutional knowledge and employee quality are no where near that easy.
There is no "state" beyond this. It's a functional interface, if you will.
I think we're saying the same thing. Training pair at t0 is video_t0, sensor_t30. So we have shifted sensor data back 30 seconds, or put your way, we look to sensor data 30 seconds in the future.
Regarding the Sea Apache, it really would have been a huge redesign. Deleting the 30mm Chain Gun, moving the landing gear to the wing stubs, adding a nose mounted radar, and Harpoon/Sidewinder capability. Now some of these requirements were Navy specific, but some would have been required had it been selected just for the USMC.

I think that even an unmodified Apache would have been just too expensive for the always cash-strapped Corps. Plus the airframe and engine commonality with the UH1s they flew simplified their logistics tremendously. It's always a gamble comparing unit costs since so much is either hidden or excluded, but the latest info I found showed a new build AH-1Z was around $30M in 2018, while a new build AH-64 is currently around $52M. And I'm pretty sure the Corp has simply been rebuilding older airframes to the new "Viper" standard. (Turns out most were rebuilds, but some were new construction.)

Regarding the RN flying Apaches, is this from large decked ships, or from anything with a pad? I know the Merlin had a neat winch type thing to help it land in bad weather, and I just wonder how much more likely a rollover would be on a small decked ship versus something like HMS Ocean etc.
For me the interesting job in software is designing architecture and implementing complex things. Automation with tools like this is not remotely there and to some extent probably won't be because we're often talking about human preferences and subjective design choices. Gpt4 in software is Intellisense++ right now, it provides code snippets for things you want to do, it's just raising the bar of abstraction, not replacing the designer.

On the second point, I actually think my salary is inflated and we'd be in the dark ages if I took that for a reason to hamper technology. Not only am I not just a developer of software but also a consumer, so I benefit directly, but more importantly so does everyone else. If everyone operated on that logic I'd still pay 20 bucks for a potato and a hundred for a hammer.

Let's be real the entire point of software is to replace labor. The software industry has done it to many sectors of the economy and called it progress. Which it is. We have no right to start complaining now.

Assuming that more than half of the world is and will continue using a Google product to transport them at the playground run by OpenAI. That's one card still hidden in plain sight. They own a huge chunk of the infrastructure that's of great utility to users.

Entertainment is one of the key motivators for humans to act upon. At the end of a working day, for my non-techie friends, it's all about chosing between YouTube, Netflix, Tiktok or Pornhub. So, in my worst case scenario, OpenAI grabs the 8 hours of productivity and Google is left filling in the 8 hours of relaxation by spinning up their servers (Cloud, Fiber), browsers (Chrome, Chromium), mobile-and-connected devices(Android, Chromebook, Chromecast, Smartwatches), etc.
Wow that's a really high bar to clear! I consider myself to be a non-dumb person and it would take genuine concentrated thought to figure out the task in the example image.

But I think even if GPT-X solves it some people will say it's just regurgitating whatever words and images and associations it has seen in training.

There was a time when natural language conversation was considered the gold standard for AI. Now it's "just statistics".
For whatever it's worth, people like you are why I stuck with Apple even when they were headed for bankruptcy. Quirky, human stuff like the crayon picker (which I remember a lot of people loved; the weardown effect especially) and easter eggs (which I spent much of my childhood hunting for in ResEdit) really defined the Mac experience for me at that point. It was one of the few platforms I can think of that actually had a sense of character.

I've been wondering this for 25 years: how did you generate the crayons? They were pretty realistic.

Thank you for your feedback. We agree that our initial post may have been vague on the specifics of our solutions, but we are excited to share more about Semut's technologies and how they can help achieve our vision for Open Source. We will be writing a separate post on Semut's technologies and how they help achieve the vision and solve the problems. Here's a sneak peak on one of our solutions -

Semut is a simple language agnostic framework for rapid development of managed services. Open Source communities can make their applications available as a service by default so that anyone (not just the engineers) can use the applications in one click. We find it baffling that many open source applications (like CRM, ERP, LMS, etc) built for businesses and non technical users exclude them as they cannot make use of the code. They'll need engineers again to make use of Open Source software. That is a very big problem that needs to be addressed. By making applications available as an easy to use service, the community will be making their applications usable by everyone. Managed services built using Semut will be comparable to commercial PAAS and SAAS solutions.

There is more to Semut's technologies. We'll be talking about them in detail soon. Meanwhile, developers can signup for an early preview and see Semut in action. Here is the link for signing up - https://semut.io/#sec55

If you're up for it, let's have a face-to-face videochat and talk about it! Email is in my bio.
The best thing to do is to define tradeoff ranges and set the deadline, so that developers could try an optimistic path, learn what’s wrong with it halfway, and then choose a tradeoff that both seems not that bad enough and, when it fails, leaves time to rethink and use another tradeoff which is even good now, in a sense.

Because that’s what we do either way. Round numbers from ass make no science to plan and prioritize upon.
To try to answer the first question: It's about who your customers are.

If you're a business with 30 employees all making 150k/yr you have 375k in payroll costs every month. Holding even 1 months payroll in cash puts you above the FDIC limit of 250k. Normal people rarely need more than 250k in cash so the ratio of business to normal people in customer base matters.

To make things worse let's say you're VC funded and you don't have monthly revenue to put towards your payroll. Instead you have X months of payroll/runway in cash in an account being slowly drawn down. Now you might have 1 year of payroll in cash. Nearly all of that is uninsured.

Quick googling shows me that SVB was only 15% insured. Likely because of their focus in startups with large balances vs regular ppl with low balances. For context BOFA is 40% insured and JP morgan is 35%.

But I do see your point, short term treasuries probably would make sense for startups right now. With a 4.2% rate on the 1 month treasuries it would make sense to setup a ladder with bonds coming due as you needed them. But in the very recent low interest rate past this probably wasn't worth the hassle for many startups.

probably not. programming already feels dead solving the same dumb problem over and over again just in a slightly different idiosyncratic context.
"Copycats will inevitably become more common. The more successful a software is, the more people will attempt to copy it. Companies will then have to rely on network effects (such as social networks and marketplaces), distribution , and switching costs (e.g. users becoming used to a particular workflow or ecosystem)."

However, even network effects can be automated. In the end, even the existence of companies becomes irrelevant except for those supplying AI tech.

"Any new skill/knowledge can be absorbed by the AI and scaled infinitely. Where will be the incentive for the human investment? We have copyright and other means to protect intellectual property. However, there is no protection for a skill. There has never been a way before to mimic a skill without a high burden of cost which itself was the protection"

The lettuce spinner is where it's at. The top of the new model comes apart completely whereas the older one couldn't be cleaned.

- aeropress with reusable filters

Trying to make everything match is an expensive and unnecessary obsession. There's a bohemian charm in mismatched socks and things that don't fit a sterile, boring Architectural Digest environment.
There are lots of places where you get 0 of that before providing an estimate.

And yes they are still solvent.

As others mention there are lots of unknowns in an organization.

I've been in places where the other team involved is across the globe in a different timezone and isn't even actively willing to respond and yet we continue...

There are also cases where lots of parts are outsourced and you're lucky to get a reasonable response i.e. changing part x requires vendor a, b, c & d, which have an SLA 1-8 weeks and so you're already starting 4-32 weeks without even working anything else out. If you're really lucky it could still all be done in 1 day.

Not sure if you're harsh as you say or just lucky. Not everyone and every team is well organized.
I don't think the author is necessarily excluding FP as much as saying intrinsically it doesn't provide anything more than functional composition for what the author calls "architecture oriented programming". That is, while "structured programming" mainly focused on on modularity, how these components are connected (and communicate) is equally important. At least that is what I got from the article!
