Really? I thought only investment banking was famously immoral? It always seemed like traditional banking and card networks were not so much moral or immoral, but more conservative with risk. Though their definition of risk also seemed to be rooted in historical religious values of what is normal and abnormal (the latter being perceived as more risky).
Right. IMO copyright in general seriously conflicts with the very concepts of free expression and ownership. As corporations eat the world and are able to push to maximize copyright to protect their profits, our rights of expression and ownership are diminished. Fair use and the first sale doctrine will ultimately be meaninglessly minimized curiosities if we don't fight, tooth and nail, corporate IP holders and the bought state entities that protect them.
What has IA done wrong? You don't provide any references.
Agree on Schiff.

Is Raspberry pi even fully mainline supported? Since it normally relies on raspbian.
They are remixing not reasoning
Some find motivation in competition.
Yes, it may seem like I'm complaining - but my observations (complaints, as you say) come from the perspective of someone who has experience in this field and someone who wanders in the space expecting something even resembling a Raspberry Pi experience.

Kirkwood is 2009, that's where my "USB 2" comment came from. Only in the completely fringe grey-beard ARM ecosystem would it even come up in discussion (this thread). For the rest of the world it's completely irrelevant and relegated to history. Especially for HN - where a substantial portion of top rated stories are ML model developments from 30 minutes ago. Kirkwood is in The Smithsonian by comparison. Frankly, even referencing it or using it as a point of discussion only further proves my point of how far/long mainline ARM support is.

No one thinks, tries, or is under the impression that ESP32 is a storage controller to try to saturate anything. I think we're talking past each other on that point.
There's no clearly defined line. This is by intent. The idea is to send a message - you can be a bit risque, but don't cause us problems or we'll suddenly decide whatever your percentage is is too much.

So many rules, especially in compliance, are like this. They all boil down to "we'll look the other way for minor violations but as soon as you piss us off, you have our full attention and not in a good way". Keeps everyone on their toes and is probably better than trying to define some kind of exact threshold (which everyone would then brazenly ride exactly on the edge of).

Note I'm not agreeing with it in the slightest.
> there was a lot of infrastructure remaining

Are you sure about that? Everything was destroyed, because the RAF and the USAAF bombed everything day and night for years. They quite literally tried to bomb Germany and Japan back into the stone age. About every city in Japan was firebombed to ashes.

And the German men were killed. Millions died of starvation after the war ended.

What was different with Germany (and Japan) was - free markets. You can see this starkly in the different fortunes of East and West Germany. The first was under communism, the second under free markets.

Free markets pretty much don't exist in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Laos. Adding money to unfree markets just disappears.

History shows us in country after country after country, free markets leads to prosperity, leftism leads to poverty.
Well, what do you expect? The US over the past several decades has effectively crippled economies for its own interests by cutting off USD access. When you do this to a non-trivial number of countries they get around it by trading among themselves and dumping the USD for their own currencies. There are many countries including India, Japan, Korea, China, Russia, etc who are opening up bilateral or trilateral agreements to trade in their own currencies bypassing the USD. The US has pissed off a significant portion of the world that its days as reserve currency are certainly numbered. However, unbelievable it might sound today but the world is inching closer to non-USD centric future.

Good article.

I think the issue is the often 'higher ups' want 'Agile' as they've heard it is faster and/or cheaper - missing the part that it is faster and cheaper to fail with agile. If you know exactly what you want and are happy to wait, then an agile methodology probably isn't for you.

If you need to test something out or scratch an itch now, then agile might be a good fit (depending on the skills/buy in/experiences/interest of the team(s)). Forcing people to be Agile! does not work.

I like to point out that very few house builders use agile methodologies to build a home.

But, if there was a storm tonight and you lost your home, then you might use an agile approach of borrowing a tent, then buying a trailer, then getting a static caravan, while you start building a basic toilet block, then adding on a kitchen and building a home iteratively, adding and releasing value early, that way.

The result would cost more than just building a house, but you'd have value sooner in terms of a place to sleep, wash and eat.
Whataboutism are also all the arguments brought up in this thread against tiktok.

I honestly don't care. I don't use either and actively dislike all of these echo chambers. If it's for me ban all of them, or let them get even worse I don't care. It doesn't influence me at all.

But this is just a shitshow, cold war on a weird social level. This is not against tiktok this is obviously mainly a topic to talk bad about China.
But the hallucinated code doesn’t work.
In the olden times, when computers were slow and dumb, GPIO or “Parallel Printer Port” as it was sometimes called, was no novelty. Some of us in this dark but innocent age, would use our computers for all manner of strange experiments. Driving foolish robots with long tethers, or experimenting with incoherent audio effects. But that was the before time, and todays computers make such play impossible.

A PI is an old style computer, just smaller and faster. I can use it as a desktop, then put wires out the back of it to play with an inverse pendulum. Can you do that with a real pc and an Arduino? Sure, but it’s how a little hobby computer ought to be.
I guess I use ChatGPT similarly for Ruby and for Rust, but with the only difference being that in my mind I intend to “learn” those two.
GPT can struggle to see the forest from the trees. For example, if generating a dozen or so files with `rails g scaffold post` a GPT-generated commit message may simply list all the individual items "Created new post views, new post controller, new post model.. etc" when "Generated a posts scaffold" would have been more general and useful message.

GPT sometimes 'sees' the bigger picture though, for example when I commit a new rails app, instead of listing the individual files, it instead generated: "Added all files for a new Rails application, including controllers, models, views, tests, and configuration files." It could have said "new rails app", but it wasn't too ineloquent.
How's that different from the current world?
Since the 3ds/wiiu, games are signed, and these signatures are difficult if not impossible to forge.

> And the definition of a recession was rescinded last year by the White House.

It what? Also if you predict a recession every year you'll eventually get one right, but that doesn't make you right about recession predictions in general.

> Is inflation for you better now than it was in 2019?

Did he predict "higher than 2019"? If "higher than 2019" wasn't his prediction then I don't see why it matters that "higher than 2019" happened.

And that's not much of a prediction. 2019's inflation was below target.
My experience is almost completely the opposite. My likelihood to dive into something new is significantly higher now.

It might help to approach it from top down? Usually, if I'm asking a technical question, I want to apply my deeply understood principles to a new set of implementation details, and it has amplified the heck out of my speed at doing that.

I'm kind of a difficult to please bastard, a relatively notorious meat grinder for interns and jr devs, and still I find myself turning to this non-deterministic frankenstein more and more.
Anyone else notice Agile creeping in where it has no place being?

I’m suffering on an infrastructure transformation project — migrating complex apps to Azure — which insists on being Agile. It’s preposterous. I just started and already I’ve counted up 40 person-hours of time in ‘planning’ sessions.

I spent two hours in a room with an architect and a whiteboard and then one single day myself on Thursday building a schedule gasp for one of these apps that already contains 100x more information than the entirety of their Azure DevOps boards.

They’re shoe-horning infrastructure transformation in to ‘epics’ and ‘features’ and ‘sprints’ and who knows what the fuck they’re doing and next week I think I’m going to actually lose my shit and tell them they’re maniacs.

But hey. Who can be bothered actually planning a thing. Sounds hard! Let’s just make shit up every two weeks.

Agile done wrong is just people sliding Post-It® notes across the table at each other hoping that the thing will get done.
I do not own any Chromebooks yet, but have a bunch of Chromeboxes, which essentially are the same thing in desktop small form factor, and liberated all of them over the years using the unscrew+script method described at https://mrchromebox.tech.
They may not be very fast, especially the older ones, though still have their use.
I turned for example a Asus CN62 (CPU: i3-5010U) to a Kodi media center, and it flies compared to the Raspberry Pi4 I used before. Only drawback compared to the RPi is the lack of native CEC support, which I solved by adding an external Pulse Eight dongle.

Don't think it's solely about the money. Reputation, history, everything else is in the mix. Of course Twitter would have an excellent argument that porn is only a tiny subset of its content and it has much larger, legitimate uses.

As a founder, you don't have that reputation and track record to point to, so you'll need to be more careful, especially in the early days.

But I doubt it's about the pure dollars and cents. There's plenty of money in porn, even now. It's about having a plausible story to tell the card companies and PR. Twitter and Reddit are safe, and it's about that story, not steak dinners.
On top of that, I think we might have reached peak training data. Or rather, peak human-generated training data. From here on AI will produce much more data than humans. Consequently, it should become ever harder to train a model on something novel.

I even wonder if humans in 50 years will recognize AI by its particular (early 21st century) style to write and speak.
That's the problem not a solution.

Around 80% of US energy comes from FFs. Ignoring that will kill people quicker from lack of heat, food, medicines, and services, much faster than reliance on FFs.
> I get that the original post is basically a sales pitch, but there is huge value to be had from page builders and it's dishonest not to mention it.

What's dishonest is this passage:

> For example, a large number small of businesses just want simple page displaying their working hours and some pictures of inventory. If you go to a "professional development agency" and ask them to build you a site with just these features, you will get a quote for 200 thousand dollars upwards (speaking from experience).

edit: unless the agency preemptively fired problematic clients :), take the hint
Not hard to check whether code compiles or runs.
The fact that it performs at all is amazing. It's like the old dog playing a piano joke.
Just tested it on a side-project codebase.

Main impression - it does hallucinate like crazy. I asked "How does authorization of HTTP request work?" and it started spitting explanation of how user bcrypt hash is stored in SQlite database and token is stored in Redis cache. There are no signs of SQLite or Redis whatsover on this project.

In other query it started confidently explaining how `getTeam` and `createTeam` functions work. There are no such entity or a word "team" in the entire codebase. To add to the insult, it said that this whole team handling logic is stored in `/assets/sbadmin2/scss/_mixins.scss`.

Other time it offered extremely detailed explanation of some business-logic related question, linking to a lot of existing files from the project, but that was completely off.

Sometimes it offered meaningful explanations, but was ignoring the question. Like I ask to explain relation between two entities and it started showing how to display that entity in a HTML template.

But I guess it's just a question of time when tools like this become a daily assistant. Seems invaluable for the newcomers to the codebase.
There's a good chance IA will be exempted from statutory damages. See 17 USC § 504(c)(2),

> The court shall remit statutory damages in any case where an infringer believed and had reasonable grounds for believing that his or her use of the copyrighted work was a fair use under section 107, if the infringer was: (i) an employee or agent of a nonprofit educational institution, library, or archives acting within the scope of his or her employment who, or such institution, library, or archives itself, which infringed by reproducing the work in copies or phonorecords

The opinion (p46) defers this matter,

> At this point, IA’s statutory remittance argument is premature. IA may renew the argument in connection with the formation of an appropriate judgment.

In Central Scotland, during the 70s and 80s, lunch time closing was the norm. Half day Wednesday was also very popular in some trades (butchers, grocers etc.) as it allowed working on a Saturday morning.

Back then, nothing was open on a Sunday.

In some parts of Scotland (the Western Isles for example) doing any work, hanging your washing out, cutting your grass etc. on a Sunday, to be violating the Sabbath. No laws. Just peer pressure from your neighbours. As you'd expect this is stronger in smaller villages than larger towns.
College Completion and Your Genome (Don’t Get Too Excited)
I am in the position of "managing" for clients a fleet of ~200 websites built with a page builder. Every clients has the key to the kingdom and websites have diverged from their original look and feel. The brand recognition we sought for them is all out the window and steering back the whole fleet to a uniform design is impossible. The page builder allowed them to change everything and so they did. It's now up to a point where thousand of regular articles that should have been written with the standard editor have been written with the page builder and just can't be exported/migrated to a new theme.

Of course, it's an extreme but still...
One convenient usecase for me is to generate model classes from a sample JSON document: "please create me a java class using lombok from this JSON: {...}"

The Xlib Programming Manual and Reference Manual would probably be of interest, they are getting a bit old now but xlib has not changed much and they are still useful.
I am using it to learn programming. I have no technical background but know enough about technology to be able to talk about the problems abstractly. Because my knowledge of the space is not via formal education and training, I have gaps in my knowledge and do not know deeper details about how ideas connect with each other on a deeper level.

GPT allows me to ask questions and provide the right kind of "connecting" bridges between two concepts I was not earlier aware of. It has made recursive forms of learning very easy for me, when I can articulate the "what" but lack a clear understanding of "how".
>What laws?
All natural rights, life (bodily functions e.g. the right to eat not to have something to eat), speech, association etc. Broadly defined as anything a person can do that doesn't require violence or compulsion.

If someone says something in public then I have the right to say it.
A way to get around this is by making every viewing of copyrighted material a private contract. e.g. "You can only own a license for personal use of this movie if pay and agree not to share it."
But, if somebody does break that contract and shares the movie publicly, going only by natural rights everyone who watched it would be able to share. Since book publishers didn't like this they lobbied for our current "unnatural" copyright laws.

Why people don't like this now generally falls into three camps with some overlap
1) People who want free books, movies and software.
2) People who want all books, movies and software to be libre.
3) People who don't want the government to create a protected class of license holders, for various reasons (anticommunism, traditionalism etc.)
>Google is fucked

The last year or two have proved to me that they deserve it. Their search engine is utter dogshit now. Ultra commercialised, full of ads, so hard to find a result that is actually what I searched for. Guess that's what Google level greed will do.
It is an algorithm running a computer. The software is whatever you prompt engineered. That is the algorithm running on the computer.

You know, I think that some people (I see on twitter, probably not you) have a wrong intuition about artificial intelligence. They see models which are fundamentally stochastic as incapable of really ever being truly intelligent. It's "just statistics" or just a "stochastic parrot" and it just learns probabilities instead of real meaning. Perhaps they think that since there is always randomness involved, you can not have the kind of deterministic thought process that we feel we have. The worst offender is then considered to be the old school Markov chain.

I obviously think this is wrong and that's why I like to emphasize that transformers are best interpreted as Markov Chains on a larger state space, and this does actually explain their computational behavior.
For my five year old, we have been rate limited on overdrive reading Pete the Cat and Franklin books. Partly because the selection is woeful (about 20 English books) compared to IA's thousands in that category.

"Search engine optimization" is prohibited in Mexico.

The comparison to home building is not a good one - houses are things which are repeated, with customizations and slight modifications, and people are deeply familiar with houses. The closest analogy in the software world would be simple websites such as blog or easy shops, where e.g. a WordPress plus some customizations would be enough.

Software is completely different though. Building chatgpt is vastly different from building Google Maps, for instance. And on top of that, most interesting software projects are not mere copies of other projects, so the whole idea of the customer knowing what they want does not apply.
Because giving the software away means that the software can be set up first to design chips for your own manufacturing.

The Chinese stuff is so far behind that, if you have money to pay for the software, you'll just pay for the oligopoly. If you want people to pump stuff through your manufacturing, you need to give engineers the ability to do so. If you charge for it, everybody will simply stay with the status quo.
It is because it's not about the military in this thread and you try to justify the energy usage of Bitcoin with the us military.

Since IIRC bug count is roughly proportional to source code line count, this implies the aggregate complexity of software doubles too. That might sound foreign, but if you think duplicated effort and accidental complexity rather than problem domain complexity it wouldn't surprise me if it was close to true.

Points to the value of sticking close to the problem domain.
One main reason that TikTok can be worse is subtle propaganda. There is a very subtle pro-Chinese bias on TikTok and that's beneficial for China in the long term. The more that your rival's population perceives you as a threat, the harder it is to compete against them.

If you are dissatisfied then (in my opinion) you have two main choices - get out or stay and find something you like about your job.

If you aren't happy there, consider what is making you stay. Is it just the salary or or do you have a good team and learning opportunities around you?

If the only thing keeping you is money, then start looking now - you are likely bored and it will be showing to your team. You might have survived redundancy so far, but if you are disconnected from your role you'll soon be at risk in a FAANG company with the current squeezes.

If you feel there is good work to be done at the company, but you aren't doing it, start seeing how you can put yourself into that work - talk make contacts, reach out, share passion projects, be a squeaky wheel and point out issues you want to fix.
>I just started and already I’ve counted up 40 person-hours of time in ‘planning’ sessions.

I mean this is what always bothered me about every implementation of "agile" I've seen. Agility has a definition, planning everything in minute detail is not in any way reconcilable with that definition. Scrum is the worst at this.

If you want to convince me of agile it has to be harmonious with the word definition. E.g. creating PoCs, playing around with actual code, iterating with the customer. As soon as you try planning everything you're not agile. You have a problem with being controlling. Point.
