I have a conceptual problem with this. Documentation is meant to describe stuff thats's not in the code. Sure, there's the odd occasion where you've done some super weird optimization where you want to say "Over here I've translated all my numbers into base 5, bit reversed them and then added them, mathematically this is the same as just adding them in base 9, but fits our custom logic cell better". But that's the exception, the general purpose of documentation is to describe why it's doing hwat it's doing, not how. Tell me that this module does X this way because that helps this other module do Y". Tell me why you've divided the problem this way. You're giving information about why certain design decisions were made, not just describe what they are.

It doesn't matter how good your LLM is, the information simply isn't there for it to know the information it needs to document. You're never going to get a comment out of this that says "This interface is meant to be backwards compatible with the interface Bob once wrote on a napkin in the pub on a particularly quiet friday afternoon when he decided to reinvent Kafka".
Adding a few notes for anyone interested:

The previous Ring CEO also oversaw privacy and security for Alexa. From 2021-2022, Alexa experienced record numbers of security breaches and PHI/PII data leaks (including Amazon CARE, subscriptions and payments data).

Did Amazon know? Yes. It was escalated to SmartHome team, Privacy and Security teams, and Senior leadership groups on multiple occasions.

What happened? They covered it up with fake data and forced data deletions.

Guess who got fired? Hint: It wasn't the persons who caused the repeated data leaks. At least not until March of 2023 apparently, well after the years-long impact occurred.

Main value proposition for non enterprise customers is, easy DDOS protection, edge caching of assets, DNS, domains and recently cloudflare workers which allow easy deployment of static sites.
Webmasters and developers are an easy prey to at least DDOS protection and caching, their product is too good to avoid for many. I personally have a problem with cloudflare becoming a gatekeeper but at the end of the day, the value proposition is too good vs setting them up and managing yourself. Too many websites I use everyday have cloudflare in the front, and I just can't avoid them. Only because fighting spam is difficult for many.
Show HN: I made a site that lets you easily find the best indie startups
Hello hackers,

I made this site to organize the amazing indie startups built by hackers like you. I got overwhelmed by all this cool products so made it easy to search and find startups. I know the list is not big but I am adding more as you are reading this.

I cannot know every startup, so if your startup is not on the list just DM on twitter.

Also Feedback is welcomed!
Correct. The record is for "deepest untethered sea walk", and the JIM suit is generally classified as a submersible, similar to a one-person submarine.

scuba units are usually defined as a breathing apparatus that deliver breathable gas at ambient pressure. The life support system inside a hard suit deliver breathable gas at atmospheric pressure.

The yuan has capital controls. You can't move money freely in and out of China even (especially) if you're a Chinese national. Absolute non-starter for any kind of reserve currency idea.
I think you have that exactly backwards. ONLY successful ideas are being debated more than 20 years after they are proposed. Only successful ideas spawn reaction and counter-reaction, which lead to its evolution - which you say is not happening, but certainly is, as evidenced by the tree of methodologies that branched from it.

In that respect (which might not be the one the coiners hoped for), capital A agile has been extremely successful.

Hiring, onboarding, firing, and severance are all massively expensive in terms of money, time, employee morale, and company reputation. There's no evidence that this was long-term or even short-term rational.

You know how everyone whines about "a single bad hire is devastating" as a justification for whiteboarding, leetcode, etc.? Well, these were hundreds or thousands of bad hires for each company.

The other self-inflicted wound is that a hiring binge naturally raises employee compensation due to market forces, demand and supply. It's going to be difficult to undo the expectations that have been raised, to claw back the salary levels, because even if you lay off a bunch of people, the remaining employees are still making the higher compensation and will continue to expect it. If a company lays off a bunch of people and simultaneously attempts to cut employee compensation, they'll have a massive revolt on their hands. The damage has already been done, the compensation needle has already moved.

You mentioned "moving projects forward", but in addition to layoffs, many companies are also canceling or postponing projects, so it's not clear that temporarily moving projects forward added any actual value.
Fun fact, danish priests use a similar collar in their official dress, still. Here's a picture: https://cne.news/article/1633-men-only-priesthood-might-come...

Nvidia Unveils CuLitho: A “Breakthrough in Computational Lithography”
In the 2000s, using P2P was very common because the alternative was ripping CDs or spending $$$ on the iTunes Store for DRMed music. People were also not connected all the time so it made sense to download and store your music on an iPod or similar.

In the late 2000s Spotify arrived, it was much easier than piracy, and not as expensive as the iTunes Store, although still DRMed.

At the same time, Apple introduced the iPhone and people gradually stopped using computers so much and started using smartphones more. And on smartphones you couldn’t install whatever software you wanted.

Many younger people today in the west have no experience of piracy at all. They live on their phones in a fully corporatized environment.

> GPT-4 had been shown to outperform humans on the coding competition tasks

This is not true as of March 2023 (hard to prove a negative of course but look at the percentiles in the GPT4 report)
Most probably. Yup.

Bright orange bats were discovered in West African mining tunnels in 2021. Even very big animals can be still discovered near home. A 12m long, new species of whale hiding a plain sight in the Gulf Of Mexico, and so critically endangered as the Vaquita, was also discovered in 2021

But I wouldn't expect a lot of entirely new types of subterranean mammals in any case. Most of the people would not bat an eye about another species of brown mouse. You need a theriologist for spotting the difference and they are getting more and more scarce.
> Every problem it aims to solve, another protocol or tool specific to that problem solves it better. There is no real world use case I think of where I would ever consider using ipfs.

Insofar as I understand IPFS, the most natural use case I've come across would be serving Nix packages.

That is, my understanding of IPFS is "protocols related to distributing content based on its content". Nix stores all its packages in a nix store, where its address there is a hash of the inputs; but, there are experiments for addressing Nix packages by the package's contents.

https://www.tweag.io/blog/2020-09-10-nix-cas/

On the Nix side of things: a cache-miss from a binary cache would just mean that a package would need to be built from source.
Here comes the memory hole, folks. This copyright claim is just the ruse to break down the wall, with the real purpose being to lay claim to news and internet archiving so that inconvenient news and information can be more easily memory holed without archives existing.

Let me put it this way, everyone should start working on decentralized archiving tools and retention of information locally about topics they are particularly interested in. I don’t say that out of the blue.

Sounds like containers could be OS built-in for non-cli applications? Any app can be containerized so that adds a level of isolation and security. I actually use containers whenever I can so I don't worry about left over garbage.
Seems you are arguing a against something i didnt say?

I guess you must believe you have some special ideas that you didnt get from anyone else at all, not based on any of you experiences and conversations with others that we all should pay you to use or refine (or even just repeat).

I don't think we know the full extent of what the US does with our data in the cloud.

Democracy works when the desires of the people get enacted into law. We see more and more that it is not happening. Instead, more power is consolidated to the rich and powerful. How is that happening in a "democracy"?

I think that behind the scenes in the US, a dictatorship of intelligence agencies, wealthy businessman, and monopolistic companies have been developing over the last 20 years. The government and congress is not the boss, but the oligarchs are. They run the show, and its as much of dictatorship as anywhere else in the world. The US propaganda is not calling it that though.

Indeed. American doomerists are just ridiculously parochial. Panicking about the dollar when it's the currency that everyone else runs to as a safe haven. The biggest risk to America is its debt ceiling mechanism; the opportunity to completely destroy America's credit and economy to own the libs is very tempting to some people.

>I am referring to the WordPress and Shopify ecosystems here

>The content is not reusable (you cannot reuse content on other pages)

Not sure I understand this. Platforms like WordPress certainly have widgets, reusable blocks, shared headers/footers, and so on.
It can look arbitrary, but is usually cultural. Theory: With how zoonotic (animal-origin) diseases work, how many humans were historically killed by diseases, and the law of diminishing returns - there is a natural human bias toward only using a very small number of species as livestock. That bias is often expressed as "don't kill the [cute | harmless | clever] $Animal, which is not regarded as food in our culture".
You can build a house with agile methodology. And I think many have been...

You might be able to live in one, but surely you don't want to buy one. As these are probably not legal in this day and age and mostly done by do-it-yourself self-builders. That is they are not code compliant. Like electricity might or might not burn down the house, there might or might not be leaks all over the place. And mold and so on is probably common... Also I doubt every door closes or is straight and so on...

Actually that really describes most of software we use.
Exactly, I despise people who say things like "everything is made of chemicals" or "vegetables are carbohydrates" when they perfectly know exactly what I mean.
Of course the West wouldn't welcome economic competition from China even if it were a flourishing democracy. Still, let's not lose sight of the fact that there are real moral differences between the US and China.

It’s not the same, but the OP is talking about free access to information. So under that logic stealing the physical book is fine.

The post I was replying to specifically indicated "Sunday".

I didn't say religion bad. I said that Sunday was chosen because of it's alignment with many Christian religions, and this is true: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_law

There are many other religions that do _not_ have Sunday as a day of rest; other abrahamic religions choose Friday (Islam) or Saturday (Judaism, 7th day Adventist). Non-abrahamic religions and atheists feature further diversity.

Consider:

> California twice passed Sunday closing laws, in 1858 and in 1861. The first was found unconstitutional just five months after it was enacted. It was used to convict and imprison a Jewish clothing merchant who closed his business on Saturday, and opened it on Sunday.

( https://historycollection.com/the-random-history-of-blue-law... )

One could simply mandate that businesses offer employees one or more consistent day of rest instead of having the state pick religious winners and losers.
No, because if they destroyed the original then they would have no way of saying they have the original and that’s what’s being lent.

Then truly they would be lending only a copy, which was never legal to begin with.
Every time I see the fed adjusting these levers of debasing a money they print I shake my head and wonder why no one questions these levers as leading to a healthy economic society. Now my money is worth this much less tomorrow so now I must work this much extra for a raise to cover the loss. Doesn't this strike anyone as an absurdist parody play starring us its marionettes?

If crypto isn't the answer, what is? I think inflation and deflation are awful levers of monetary policy and should not be wielded by government institutions like the fed. They've proven themselves time and again bad stewards.

It's an empire. Empires are good at concentrating wealth by extracting it from their surroundings.

Personally I would absolutely not want to be a poor person in the US. High crime, police violence, abusive work conditions, random shooters, health care bankruptcy, Fentanyl being pushed by medical professionals, zero Covid protections - it's a dystopian horror show.

This may surprise you, but there are locations around the world with much lower GDP and much happier people.
The question is... writing the code is a very small part of the job.

Figuring out what code to write is one of the big parts.

Fixing it when it breaks in many creative ways is the other big part.

How good is ChatGPT at fixing bugs? Security bugs or otherwise?
I agree with you until you parroted the propaganda trope about Roe v Wade. Roe has always been known as “bad law” even though it was never law, only illegitimate judicial dictate. It’s always been known as one of the worst rulings in American history.

It’s unfortunate that you would demonstrate such logically compromise in such a blatant manner, ironically, in a post about “bad law”. Ironically, overturning Roe specifically was good law, in that it followed the law the ruling was a blatant violation of.
It depends; is not the usual dish you would get on weekends, but almost on special holydays or celebrations.

Not my experience at all. There's always a leader, and there's always a bully, and - if you're lucky - they are not the same kid. If you're unlucky, the whole group is a shitshow of gruesome sadism and "playing" that can lead to serious injury and death.

I mean, that's obviously anecdotal, but if children were so rational to invent things like human rights, why would we need caretakers and teachers?
Isn't that do not disturb is for? Starred contacts work with WhatsApp too.

Understanding a topic and letting chatgpt do repetitive and simple boilerplate stuff are not exclusive.
> I'd hate to come out and say "NPR lies" as it gets people's hackles up and immediately starts the us-vs-them dynamic. "Non-Neutral" seems to have been the best way in recent years to indicate that their reporting is, at best, slanted and spun in order to present a view of the world that they prefer.

I think this is a reasonably good faith revision:

> NPR lies. Non-Neutral is the best way to indicate that their reporting presents their different/false world view.

"Non-neutral" is the word you are using to indicate that NPR is not reporting what you believe.

People who agree with you are neutral. People who disagree are non-neutral.

Non-neutral is just a fancy way to call someone a liar while avoiding having to support your accusation with reasoning because it is self evident that having any opinion at all makes an entity non-neutral.
Why wouldn't they? Text-moves of Othello games are presumably a subset of the training data for a general LLM. If anything the general LLM has the chance to derive more robust internal world representations given similarly laid out board games.

This is very reminiscent of position-encoding neurons: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grid_cell

It is also not surprising that if you force a system to succinctly encode input-output relationships, eventually it discovers the underlying generating process or its equivalent as implied by Kolmogorov complexity theory. Language is just a convenient encoding for inputs and outputs, not fundamental. So yes it is regurgitating statistics, but statistics are non-random because of some non-trivial underlying process, always, and if you can regurgitate those statistics consistently you're guaranteed to have learned a representation of the process. There is no difference and biological systems aren't any different.
