This is the first bit of AI news that actually made me want to investigate it for myself. Even though it is pretty impressive to get a working app out of a few prompts, it seems for now it's not capable of producing much more than snippet level code.

I like the author's take further in the thread:

> Company A fires half their staff yet keeps delivering 100% of their old capacity = they save money

> Company B keeps all their staff, but can now deliver 200% of their old capacity = they win the competition

> So seems like the strategic move here is to raise the bar rather than replace engineers

https://twitter.com/mortenjust/status/1636037312571211777

My hope is that stuff allows me to augment my workflow and automate repetitive and tedious tasks away but doesn't fully replace me (or I get UBI and don't have to work anymore)
> We definitely need a global authority

No thanks
You could hear them in LA when the Space Shuttle landed at Edwards AFB. Explosion yeah.
Agree. In this case it was technical debt, unfortunately.
Just saying that what "everyone knows" isn't always true.
Using UTC when all of my servers are in one timezones actually decreases clarity, as I live in America/Toronto with my daily existence, and which is what my laptop and (mechanical) wristwatch† are set to. If I less(1) the logs I now have to do mental math as to "when" things happen because the hour number it says in the logs does not match my human reality.

If I look at something now (at Mar 25 21:09) the logs would say "Mar 26 01:09" which is not "now" in my mind.

† Though I've been toying with the idea of getting a GMT watch "for fun". However I'll probably go with a chronograph—more useful feature on a day-to-day basis. Not as many choices if I want to get both complications though.
It just reduces the amount of virus which can reproduce in your nasal cavities, giving your innate immune response a better chance at fighting it off before it gains a foothold. I've mostly seen it recommended as something to do after significant exposure events like being among large crowds indoors.
They could learn a skill that complements their artistry, go 100% with their visions, and sell whatever product comes out of that. The world still desperately needs art and most of what is out there, even stuff made by humans, is usually incredibly uninspired. Just like how the first time getting fired is usually a blessing in disguise, so is this.
The US public education system largely stopped teaching kids to read 30 years ago. First it was memorization, but that has given way to literally teaching kids to guess.

The rich kids get tutors. The poor ones don’t.

These are already issues. Only what you share with your lawyer is truly privileged. Everything else might get fanned out in a court.

Indeed, if you talk about your seizure with your doctor, your driver's license might get suspended. If you share that your medical condition isn't stable anymore, you may lose your travel health insurance (or pay for it but still get rejected when you make a claim).
I remember from Sports Illustrated that Dave Cowens, then center for the Boston Celtics, belonged to some organization that swapped odd-sized shoes. Given that NBA centers tend to have unusually large feet, one might have thought it unlikely that he could have found someone else with unusually large feet, but disproportioned symmetrically. Yet apparently he did.
Seems like this is similar to cross-site scripting vulnerabilities in browsers. A chat session happens in a sandbox, but any text you give to the bot can be interpreted as instructions. Text is as bad as JavaScript, to the bot.

Normally, in a chat session you would actually read any text you paste into it before you hit submit. This is much like pasting in code from StackOverflow into your app. You read it before executing it, right?

When the system imports arbitrary text and automatically sends it to the bot without anyone reading it, it bypasses this review.

So you don't want to start automatically including text from arbitrary sites on the Internet for the same reason you don't want to include JavaScript from arbitrary sites on the Internet. It should stop there and let you review and edit the text before hitting submit.

On the other hand, when the sandbox doesn't contain anything you consider particularly private and hasn't been given any capabilities, it seems like it's fairly harmless?

More generally, I think people will need to supervise AI chatbots pretty closely in interactive chat sessions, like we do today. (Well, not on Bing.) Safe automation is far away because what they will do is random, often literally so. It can be great to interact with, but it's the opposite of what you want from a script or software component that you just run.
How does one discover what is the insurance carrier's liability insurance provider. Is that public information?
Germany is on last place.

Here is the actual survey:
https://www.internations.org/expat-insider/2022/expat-essent...

"Germany (52nd) does very badly in the Digital Life (48th), Housing (47th), and Language (49th) Subcategories. Expats are unhappy with the ease of getting high-speed internet access at home (24% vs. 11% globally) and the lack of cashless payment options (27% vs. 8% globally). Moreover, housing is both hard to afford (59% unhappy vs. 43% globally) and to find (56% unhappy vs. 27% globally). “It may take up to three months to find even a temporary accommodation,” says an expat from Poland. And everyday life is anything but easy if you don’t speak the language (46% unhappy vs. 32% globally)."
Local time is a benefit for users. As much as UTC might be beneficial for sysadmins, and technical teams.

The only question is, is the implementation user focused or developer prioritized
There was a time when what Barlow wrote spoke to a lot of hackers out in the world. Maybe that's not how the world is today, sadly.
I've heard professors preface generalisation or metaphors with, "What I'm about to say isn't exactly true but it should be helpful in apprehending the central concept."

Basically to include extensive caveats and exceptions in the first explanation is to risk overwhelming the novice.

I think that's what this is. Sort of just moving from a high level understanding to a lower level one. Is there more to it?
Is there a danger from the diet from a heart disease standpoint given the high fat content?
You'd be surprised then to know what FDA once approved that later turned out to be detrimental to patients' healthy. Happened more than once.
I agree with you in principle, but it's probably easier to enforce speed limits than sound and emissions (because both are hard to measure while in air, in contrast to speed).
> If voting could change anything it’d be illegal.

The absolute best way to ensure that nothing changes is to get cynical and try and demotivate anyone else from trying.
The worrying thing for me is that the comments here prove that people in no way understand what an actual potentially dangerous AI looks like. And that ignorance is what will lead to AI taking over the planet sooner rather than later.

The real concern is going to be with fully autonomous superintelligent cognitive agents that emulate all sorts of other animal/human characteristics such as emotions and survival instincts. GPT 3/4 are not autonomous. They will only do what the users instruct them to do. They do not have their own goals etc. They have general intelligence but we are anticipating models with easily 10-1000 X more intelligence in only a few years.

But many groups are working as fast as they can to build full autonomy and even trying to emulate other human and animal characteristics with the apparent intent to create digital people and enslave them. Based on the conflation of general purpose intelligence with the other animal traits like autonomy, emotions, survival, etc.

Within only a few years, GPT-X powered VMs will be considered very basic tools that only the most conservative users adhere to out of concerns about AIs that have 100 times the cognitive power and near full autonomy and sophisticated cognitive architecture.

But people need to worry about the sophisticated cognitive architectures being designed for autonomy. Not relatively simple tools that just follow directions and have a lot of tuning for that. In fact, it's quite possible that this type of system in a commercial service will be generally considered much safer than traditional VMs, because they can be equipped with instructions to disable accounts when even a hint of malfeasance is detected. Whereas giving people direct access to the machine does not allow that AI filtering.
Supabase looks awesome, thanks for that.

Most apps worth money have to integrate with existing systems in highly specific ways determined by endless meetings with real people to extract the requirements and probably haven't been done before and are usually all proprietary code ChatGPT doesn't know about and there's not a cobol's chance in hell anyone is going to rewrite it all in a way that's compatible with junk hallucinated by a bot. There's no business case for that. It will probably always be cheaper for humans to maintain what has already accumulated over decades despite the "high" salaries.

The knowledge gap between devs and everyone else, including bots, is a chasm. It seems many don't realize how hard some devs work for so little relatively speaking.
New Balance is great for people with very wide feet. I'm not one of them, but have had friends who do.
That depends how autistic you are. You can read people's motivations by how they present their motivations.
? Micro-computer was used in North America too. And before the IBM PC and IBM PC compatible clones took over the market it wasn't uncommon for personal computers to be called PCs either.
I live in Utah. If that's what happens, that would be awesome! "Sorry kids, no fb/tiktok/insta and there's nothing I can do about it. None of them work where we live"

Would be a huge win for all parents. No social media, and we don't have to be the bad guys taking it away.

Well, then add that to the list of things that are prohibited, I guess and let them see if they can make it work.

Regulate the things we actually don't want, rather than the adjacent things.
Very often reversing a decision is not even comparable to having never taken it.

Currently the situation is that a lot of people will think twice before generating any dependencies with free teams, or perhaps Docker altogether.
It should be easy enough to test -- set the system to Europe/London or Europe/Lisbon.
So...in the pirate example the comment said to talk like a pirate, right? Is the example comment where it searches for a keyword a different example?

I'm just really confused why the image says to search for a keyword, and then the LLM comes back talking like a pirate.
All is not lost. I am sure many of us do care. I feel the frustration and pain of the OP. And I am someone not easily swayed by emotions.

The shift that’s happening right now will have far reaching consequences. I often ask myself “at what cost”, but
one can ask that question for any major invention in history.
Nice. But it is not very stable. Try it on the Level 13, for example. While (spoiler alert): output above inside ``` seem to work reliably...
The narrative seems quite clear to me. They released the tooling and the services to become the defacto solution, and then Swarm was supposed to be the cashcow that turned that into cashflow. And then k8s happened.

They've raised a tonne of capital, and it probably looked sane at the time. And now they're grasping at straws trying to figure out how else they can turn this into revenue.

A lot of the recent narrative has been worded like pivoting into a glorified webhost was their evil plan all along. It's not, it's an act of desperation.
This. Been using it for more than 6 years for freelance work and never had any issues with it. Also never paid a penny since it has a generous free plan and I never had much use for any of the advanced features. It has a simple desktop app for tracking and I can quickly see my hours on the dashboard with statistics, summaries for specific time periods, filtering, etc.
How often are you actually using it? I would imagine long term use of nasal betadine could have some negative side effects.

>I am angry. My 3D colleague is completely fine with it. He promps all day, shows and gets praise. The thing is, we both were not at the same level, quality-wise. My work was always a tad better, in shape and texture, rendering

No company is going to spend 5X more time on work that is a “tad” better.
Goto is quite a powerful tool for having a full, imperative grip on control flow. It is quite often useful due it's simple yet powerful ability to "just" work. Virtual machines may often encounter situations where a tight control over the flow can be advantagous for performance etc. reasons.

Goto has been iirc a point of discussion from the language design pov for Rust. I don't think it promotes good design for most applications but ymmv.
I loved my BBC micro. I borrowed a book from a library that gave me a few hundred line of BASIC software I had to type in. It was great.

I used to do that a lot, then I started using a second window of markdown for notes and save both documents next to each other.
I don't think the shape of the org chart actually matters all that much. It's the channels of communication, which way information flows, and how much autonomy the leaf nodes have that actually matter.

Case in point, Amazon vs Netflix. At Amazon, every decision requires approval of someone higher. Engineers can come up with ideas, but they have to write it up, get it approved, and then get budget assigned for that particular project from management. Even Principle Engineers have to get approvals for their own ideas and projects. And if they have ideas for new company goals, they have to send that up the chain through their management to the leaders (maybe skipping a level or two).

Netflix on the other hand has the same org structure as Amazon, but operates completely differently. Management provides context, not approvals. They say, "these are the goals we are trying to achieve". Then they leave it up to the engineers to implement it however they think is best. And if they need more budget, usually the way it works is that engineers spend the money first and if it's too much someone asks them to find ways to reduce it. And if the engineers have ideas for better company goals, they send that directly to upper management. At Netflix you never have to go through a chain of management to get things done.

It makes sense that it wouldn't be very good at Go or Rust since both are rather rare languages in the open source world that copilot is trained on. When I did my first go project a few years ago, I had the hardest time finding even basic examples like how to parse a json string. Rust is even newer and less used. But java is the 3rd most popular language for GitHub projects so I would think it would do better with Java.
This has bad logic written all over it, the "cause" is in the very sentence you typed. "Rich people are rich" is a tautology.

I saw AI as a tool like Photoshop, and for that reason wasn’t buying all this anxiety. I still see it as a tool, but this post has changed my entire perception of the issue:

It’s not that a new tool will replace you. It’s that a new tool might be too compelling to avoid, but be boring and miserable to work with and suck the joy out of your craft.
I think you should at least understand the basic concepts like loops, variables, pointers and whatnot before trying to follow the book, otherwise it may be a little rough.

You definitely don't need any expert knowledge though! Also following the book will increase your C knowledge as you go (at least in the second half).
I work for determined.ai, glad you find it useful! Feel free to reach out if you need any help or questions with Determined. The examples are the best resources IMO to configure your models and data to work in determined.

COVID taught me to take these changes seriously, the hard way.

I told my wife that lockdowns/masks would be at least a two year phenomenon, given how long the Spanish flu took - and our mitigation would make things take longer, not shorter. This had many obvious implications in my life, where I lived for the next 5 years, what jobs/skills I should be wary of vs. focus on, what stocks I should bet on.. etc.

But I didn't behave accordingly with this obvious conclusion I had made. I struggled to actually take the leap and make changes in my life. I made very few stock bets, for example. Also we didn't take the opportunity to move/change plan/etc around real estate.

With AI, I feel like this is a similar moment. My employer has an internal copilot thingie, and it's amazing when trying to use some internal library/service I've never used before. It even integrates with Emacs.

What is obviously true about AI, and how does it affect your life? Curious what other software engineers are doing to prepare for these types of obvious changes.
I think most of these solutions probably predate 8051 and ST7 cores(which both have stack pointers) where I ran into them but reduced memory models are still pretty useful for them, due to the overhead vs RAM usually fitted. It's too late to edit my comment. I'll mostly discuss the fallout from static stack variable allocation.

From https://www.st.com/resource/en/user_manual/um0015-st7-8bit-m... (8.3.5 Limitations put on the full implementation of C language)(I think this is talking about Hicross C, but COSMIC and Raisonance work the same depending on stack memory model): The ST7 family provides a limited RAM size, of which the stack takes only a part, that can be as small as 64 bytes. This does not allow the use of the stack for parameter passing. Thus, the implementation of C for the ST7 uses registers and a few memory locations to pass the parameters, and allocates local variables to RAM just like global variables. This works the same way as in a typical implementation, but with the following restrictions...

You can still get an evaluation copy of COSMIC C and try this out. Here I made a function call itself void port_init(void){port_init();}. Note that this error comes from the linker, clnk, not the compiler, because the linker is responsible for stack allocation globally, as described above):
#error clnk vumeter.lkf:1 function _port_init is recursive.

There's a similar error if you call a function from anything called from main() and also from any interrupt entry point. This is because the memory model isn't re-entrant, so calling the same function from >1 path can cause them to overlap, corrupting their staticly allocated variables.

https://www.cosmicsoftware.com/pdf/RX.pdf has an explanation for "is recursive" and "is reentrant".

COMSIC C will also let you compile enum {x = x}, but I don't know what value x gets.

I would say that anonymity on social media currently has a serious, real-world price to pay. Teen girls and Instagram don’t mix - the numbers reporting depression and suicidal thoughts since it took off is heartbreaking.

They made us wear masks due to a threat to our physical health. Social media is currently having extremely acute effects on the mental health of a generation. It may have reached the point that losing anonymity and requiring ID is better than suicides and depression. At this point, if you look at the numbers, it’s like claiming the government is infringing your rights to buy alcohol anonymously. We should stop pretending that mental health damage is of lower priority than physical health.

(And don’t get me started about the parents - outside of SV, only a few percent even know parental controls exist, let alone how to use them effectively without loopholes.)
