Then what do us software engineers do? If we are obsolete. College diplomas are worthless outside of self improvement. UBI isn’t coming. Even then, I’m in the country I live in through a working visa. If what you say is true… I see this on HN every day at this point. It fills me with enough anxiety. To me, as an engineer I like to think of different scenarios but there is no good scenario with AI. The worst one is, I lose my visa, job, house, at that point I lose 10+ years of my life. I’ve thought about just ending it at that point… talking to a therapist over that obviously, but there are days when that dread is there. There is the thread about the 3D artist replaced essentially by AI. Due to my visa I can’t legally work a blue collar job that will be safe until a robot comes. I don’t want to move back to a country I don’t even know anymore. Death doesn’t sound bad…
I would argue, that in the view of Buffet, innovation, or intellectual property, would be a form of moat. Having resources yor competitor does not have, eg best engineers, would also be a moat.

This guy absolutely gets it. However I'd just like to add a small detail:

It is not enough to try and fish one person out of propaganda because often on some deep level they know. They have lost trust in their friends, family, society, so they go along with the lie because they are sure everybody else will go along with the lie. So they pick the blue pill. They know.

Ask HN: How are you investing in AI?
It seems clear that we’re on the edge of a rapidly expanding bubble. There will likely be some big winners in the AI space.

This bubble seems different though, as AI seems to be poised to augment capabilities of existing companies vs generating another Google or Tesla.

Where to invest then? Will AI just make bigger companies bigger or are there clear opportunities for startups or smaller companies to rapidly grow?

Any unicorns or will all the benefits be realized at FAANG level companies?

As others mentioned, this is due to the NextStep theme which is the default. However GNUstep supports other themes and can have the scrollbars at the right position too.
Wow that would be very heavy handed and really assumes that the rich traveling are some how more meaningful for whatever destinations they are going to - maybe flying to some shitty meeting in Sweden that could be done over video conference. By this logic inflation happening now will fix the problems in the world bringing all prices up and forcing most people to become vegans because meat becomes too expensive and will also be for the rich only. Then cars can be for the rich too and in the end we can let the poor sit with out technology at all leaving only the rich one percent having all the carbon emissions. Finally the environmental crises is solved.
I’m not worried. There’s much more to the job than pedantic code reorganizing. As a matter of fact, it seems to be good at what I’d like not to do as a frontend dev.

There has been a huge amount of work done on Linux over the years to increase parallelism in the VFS and in the common filesystems like ext4, XFS and btrfs.

I would guess that macOS, being targeted at desktops and the typical workloads being run on them, hasn't received the same level of scrutiny in this particular area.
At the end of my second paragraph feel free to add, “In my opinion.”. I was stating my criteria for evaluating whether or not someone is a kook. While no one has appointed me an arbiter of such things I do have to evaluate claims and reason about them. Similarly no one appointed me an arbiter of morality but I do have to make moral judgements and determine wether or not a given act is justified or unjustified.
The SE/30 debuted at $4,300 ($10,000 today). It was upgradable to 128 MB of RAM and could run Mac OS 8.1 with the 32-bit clean ROM update. The machine was definitely a workstation in its day. An absolute beast and much beloved in vintage Mac groups today!

Those typesetters were likely right, tho. Sure, Industrial Revolution and computer revolution ended up creating more jobs than they took out - but what everyone conveniently doesn't mention is, those new jobs went to different people.

These kinds of transitions are large scale wealth redistribution. Your random typesetter 20 years into their career, with experience, good pay, and whole life built around economic conditions they spent those decades working hard to achieve, is not going to jump into a role of senior offset printer specialist, or DTP team manager. They're going to become a junior designer at best, most likely fall out of industry and into a junior whatever role. With commensurate drop in salary.

If you're over 30, imagine dropping down to whatever you earned when you were 20, and tell me that people protesting automation don't have an argument. And remember: it's only your career that resets; your health and obligations and remaining years to live do not.

It's nonsense because it wasn't 'the rest of the world' and it is nonsense because plenty of the fight came from within the USSR. Ignoring that makes it an utterly meaningless statement. And that's before we get into parties resisting the USSR because it started wars with them.
I don't disagree, but there's a profound difference in effort (most notably seen in Bezos vs. Bankman-Fried). This changes the result, and I think it also significantly changes the framing.

Bezos started in the days of Windows 3.1, and already was positioning himself near Microsoft as a force multiplier even though, in those days, he and other humans had to do vast amounts of work and thinking.

If the only requirement for dominating the world is adjacency to AI, the gameplan is still exactly the same but now the work and thinking is what you turn over to machines as a force multiplier. Without that, where is the justification for producing individuals who dominate the world? It becomes, not arbitrary, but purely a factor of who is adjacent to the AI at the right time.
Certainly fair. I can't see any world where the comparison is relevant, though. :(

Down thread it was pointed out that sports cars are more efficient than busses. Per vehicle. This is about the same idea, at best.
The problem with this line of thinking is that it's essentially doom-scrolling. It's especially bad because ChatGPT came along during an industry down-cycle. An interesting thought experiment is: if hiring was like 2021, would your take be different?

In terms of AI taking ALL THE JOBS... Maybe it will happen? Maybe it won't. But what action can we take from all this doom-scrolling? Other than "we should all be VERY CONCERNED." Which is just a way for us to stand around wringing our hands.

My conclusion is much the same as always: I can't grow complacent. Which we've known for years. "The industry is changing." Of course it is. It's been changing for ~80 years. And if you go back to similar advances, you'll see similar arguments.

Will this time be different? Maybe. But until it does, I think I'll continue to learn new skills (not just new languages/frameworks), refine my problem solving and troubleshooting, and above all, refine my people skills.

But I think I'll avoid the doom-scrolling. Either AI is coming for ALL THE JOBS or it isn't, but even knowing that it is doesn't give me anything actionable to do about it.
There are already laws on the books in numerous states requiring porn sites to verify that users are over 18. As far as I know, none of them require users to upload a government ID. As usual I think HN is making leaps of logic without actually reading the law or thinking of how else users might be verified (A $0.10 refundable credit card charge for example).

An LLM doesn't have to write it for them, it can just speed things up

I think this is probably the correct interpretation. I used it last week to outline a blog post that I then edited and iterated on. In the end it came out like I wanted it, but it took half the time and was quite a bit less frustrating being able to cut out that initial feeling of staring a blank page and having to make so many decisions.

I think what it will do is adjust the effort-to-reward ratio of a large number of tasks that people want to have the satisfaction of having completed, but don't want the pain of grinding all the way through.
> I gave myself 30 minutes, and tried to accomplish as much as I could during that time…

Have you watched nerdforge? “I spent 1, 10 and 100 hours on X…”

Excellent content. High rated. Highly successful.

Here’s the thing: yes. Spending 40 seconds clicking on the “generate image” button can indeed produce some random crap.

…but, I’ve already seen that. I’ve done it. Here’s a pro tip: any content that takes you 30 minutes to do is something almost no one is interested in.

It’s too trivial.

So, here my challenge: ok, now go and spend 10 and 100 hours to see how far you can actually take it if you devote real effort to using these tools to actually do something.

It might get a few clicks today, but the barrier to spending 30 minutes to generate this kind of stuff has become so low that it’s basically worthless.

We get it. You can click on the generate content button.

Does it scale? Can it generate prompts for itself when you don’t have time to do it yourself? Can you refine the content so it’s not so bland and generic?

…or is that a problem for GPT5?
> the real surprise is that language conveys concepts better than we previously thought?

Is it really that much of a surprise? Isn't the whole purpose of language to transport concepts?

I mean, our brains are not directly connected to each other, yet you just transferred a concept (which was a result of your thinking and understanding) to my brain by using language.
Not sure of the premise behind this, so maybe I’m missing the point, but why not curate quality news sources and access them via an rss news reader like NetNewsWire?

Particularly on the issue of coding with the help of these models, I am specially concerned with Kernighan's law: “Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it.”

After seeing Developers gainfully employed, justifying their horrible SQL as, "I dont know the ORM wrote it". Others mentioning they never heard about transaction isolation levels, the old mantra of "NodeJS never blocks" so your concurrency issues are gone. Even recently and incredibly, having to argue with somebody about a Cloud Architecture design where as surprisingly as it might seem, the argument from the other side at a moment was, "but ChatGPT says..."...Taking all this into account I strongly recommend you keep brushing your skills.

I predict Consultants and Developers, able to fix the bugs in these ChatGPT Driven Development Applications, will be rewarded with hourly rates that will make FAANG salaries look like Monopoly money...

> It wasn't a lie, it was a mistake.

No. The data never showed at any time that vaccines prevented infection or transmission. That was never a thing, we were told it was a thing, but no data sets ever showed that to be true. And making it worse, when this was pointed out at the time people were banned form social platforms and called conspiracy theorists just for saying what was always true.

And it's especially ironic that your link only contains more outright falsehoods such as these gems:

> “What we know is the vaccines are very substantially effective against infection"

and..

> “It’s possible that some people who are fully vaccinated could get COVID-19"

These are still false, because most people who were vaccinated still got Covid which is the opposite of "effective". That's why the argument switched to "well you should still get it because you won't get quite as sick".
Recently I used chatGPT to “improve” the introduction of my game http://www.squashbyte.com. I wrote the initial introduction and asked chatgpt to make it better. I can speak good English but I am not a native English speaker so I was impressed by the outcome. Also I was mind blown to see how chatGPT answered some questions I asked after feeding the initial text to it.
But now I think should I keep using chatgpt to do things like this? Will it deteriorate my writing or thinking ability if I keep outsourcing it to AI?
>LLMs deliver mastery of natural language that would normally be a signal for a highly intelligent human. While in other ways they’re less intelligent than a cat.

Just as an example to illustrate your point, yesterday saw a Twitter meme that had multiple overlapping Venn diagrams, where Chicago was not only in a Venn diagram for a type of deep dish pizza, but is also a city, and is also a play, and also a format for writing academic citations, and so there were several different Venn diagrams all overlapping with Chicago, and then those the Venn Diagrams overlapped with each other in humorous ways.

I saw that there was an opportunity to add one additional Venn diagram on top of all of the others if it were possible to find any possible connection between 'Sicilian' and 'AMA'.

I tried asking chat GPT if it could think of one, and it wasn't able to. So then I stepped back a step, and asked if it could think of a Venn diagram that would include both chicago, and rent, under any understanding of those respective two terms. But it couldn't do that either, although they can both be understood to be Broadway plays.
> Isn’t Wikipedia already the mind map of humanity in a way?

In a way however it does not provide a two dimensional visual representation of that mind map. I'm sure there are projects to do that but it isn't the default way to access wikipedia.

> Or is your project more from an individual standpoint?

Yes since the intention remains to extend your own information bubble by ironically providing your information bubble. Many information bubbles would create a global open mind map.

> By the by, Obsidian recently added a canvas to mind map notes and nodes. Maybe the code can be helpful for your project.

Thank you for the heads up, Node-RED provides - at the moment - all I need to create a mind map.
I'm certainly not. Though i have different conservations in different directions than they could've ever dreamed possible, i doubt that adds up to anywhere near the real conservatism of watching Bill O'Reilly or god forbid Tucker Carlson every night
>I don't see how it can do that unless it really has some kind of understanding.

One possibility is that the model itself has learned that tokens are related across languages based on translation examples. If the appended training changes the model's treatment of tokens in one language, that could have a statistical knock-on effect on the weights between similar tokens in different languages.

Similarly, if you train the model that "blue" is a "colour", you'd expect it to pick up that "navy" is a "shade".
I tried it several (>10) times and I couldn't get the input suggestions.

Not quite, card networks only know transaction level information if the merchant processing the card transaction passes back level 3 data. Merchants only pass level 3 data to secure a processing % discount on network fees. This data can be used to mine user behavior by the card companies, and unless you opt-out of Visa/Mastercard's data mining program at the card level, they do this.
I'm not sure why you're getting downvoted for this. Surely most people would think it's a bit of a stretch to say that lions have jobs in the same way that 21st century humans have jobs?

Sorry? You think the American economy is so broken that people 'can't afford stuff' anymore?

That there is an absurdly increasing wealth gap is a fact, but that doesn't mean that - for the time being - US households as consumers are still spending lots of money. And if you're in the B2B side of the market then it's even easier.
You can know all the rules to the letter and ace a driving quiz, and that's a guarantee of basically nothing. That's why I believe studying and sitting down for a driving exam is pointless.

It should be as simple as go to for 3 or 4hs rule driving course by the government (or authorized government authority), then sign a document declaring that you have assisted the course and you are aware of driving rules and allow you to do supervised driving before taking the driving exam.

Every single time I'm walking on the streets I particularly pay attention to car drivers when going to the supermarket. Do you know what a lot of people are doing? Looking at mobile phone screens.

Given the fact that statistically almost everyone has a mobile phone I'm inclined to think that distraction due to mobile screen can be as dangerous (or even more) as being drunk while driving. This is also why I believe that displays in cars should be completely banned and driving instruments should be old school.

> Lazy evaluation increases mental burden.

In some situations, definitely! In other situations, definitely not!

My experience with writing Haskell application code is that you’re thinking way less about the runtime operational aspect of your code than in any other language. The burden is much lower.

The exceptions are possibly when writing low level library code that involves a lot of IO and steaming. Or when storing a lot of data in-memory for longer periods of time.

Maybe try getting an older GPT-3 model that is just trained to predict text to do it rather than the new one which is trained to tell you that it’s an AI. I wouldn’t be surprised if it gave more human answers
Sure, but I think you can't really blame AMD for it.

Nvidia has dominated the market for a long time, and unlike Intel they up the prices and wisely spent enough of it on R&D, Nvidia is just reaping the rewards for it.
I agree, it's a cool proof of concept of what can be achieved right now. Maybe I'm being less charitable than you, but I think the author's main focus was on growth hacking and business productivity gains, which works in this case if you ignore/don't care about the nuances/quality of what you're generating
Well I think that understates the actual vastness and complexity and actual 'magic' that's embodied in a system capable of such a thing as thinking.

And I do think that so many people are motivated to dispute this precisely because it feels scary that we might merely be such a thing, and we need to reserve some extra special thing, some form of magic, in order to differentiate ourselves as special. Darwin's Dangerous idea by Daniel Dennett is one of my favorite books because it tackles this very idea.
You and I are saying the same thing in different ways, except the part about systemd. I didn’t realize it did anything with timezones because I keep thinking of it as just modern initd but I guess it goes beyond that. I didn’t realize that if you remove all mention of local timezones from /etc/ that a user could still break systemd by setting their own TZ.

Ts is dynamically typed unfortunately. And also this implies the whole js library to be made thread safe.

(And aside from being physically very dissimilar, stuff like even attempting to model human sex drive is entirely superfluous to an LLM's ability to mimic human sexy talk, so we can safely assume that it isn't actually horny just because it's successfully catfishing us!)
They did, and so did high-level languages, and not to mention the entire profession is first and foremost about automating other peoples' jobs away. Thing is, nobody is really tracking how improvements for software developers are replacing people, because this only manifests at slowing the absurdly high growth rate in this industry.
