I'm applying for places now. I have a cut-and-paste cover letter that I slightly alter between jobs.

Realistically though I'm applying for jobs that match my skills (more or less). It would be nice if you company is cool and saving the world but I've found that most of the time I get a job and then get passionate about the industry.

Even when the company is cool they are the 4th great place I've applied to and the first 3 I struck out at.

It's always the boring banks and such that ask you the "What attracted you to apply here?".
There is an even more insane project:

> Here, this was written entirely by chatGPT:

The page describes itself as "A logic puzzle game invented by artificial intelligence" (emphasis mine). There is no claim that ChatGPT "entirely wrote it" anywhere on the page.

> On page 24 of this paper, there is a 3D game with enemies and objectives coded by GPT-4:

There is no "game" on that paper. Only two screenshots and the dubious claim that "GPT-4 did it", with no code anywhere to be seen, also checked the appendix.
Not random garbage but fuels the engines are specifically designed to use. After the regulations are in place, in order to circumvent them.

If writing regulations that have the intended effect without significant downsides was as easy as you suggest, tax planning would not be a big business.
We ended up with food safety laws because people did things like knowingly sell unsafe adulterated milk, causing thousands of infants to die (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swill_milk_scandal). If you do that these days, you will simply go to jail.

Or get executed, as happened with China's 2008 milk adulteration scandal.
>It certainly is a citation

That, to me, is a statement about someone else's intent.
If you say that a great teacher manipulates their students to do more overtime work is that exploitation just because we changed the words? Normally people would use the words "motivate" and "homework", but the meaning of the sentence is the same.
That's why you have multiple Yubikeys... :)
Trust me, I'm the most OCD guy ever. I literally just ate the same meal every day for 5 months. I've tried the craziest diets. Compliance is not the problem in people like me. It's something metabolic.
also your second paragraph makes it clear you are biased which is another reason to refuse to do coding interviews from my perspective.

I don’t know why you’re downvoted (other than maybe the glibness?) because you’re right.

They’re working at a company where the goal isn’t to make good content. They were effectively there as a means to churn out stuff. It’s why their boss is making them use AI prompts to get content out as quickly as possible.

It doesn’t even matter how good the diffusion results is for that segment. It’s really just about having some representative visual as soon as possible

There’s no current model that makes acceptable 3D content for games, and cohesion isn’t good enough for 2D art for anything except visual novels. They can certainly act as a base but this persons post makes it sound like they’re barely adding anything on top.

So yes, they’re a shop that’s churning out content to make a buck as quickly as possible.

If it wasn’t generative art that replaces this person, it would be someone who could do things even slightly faster or cheaper, even if the quality was worse.

This is the most vulnerable part of society to any form of automation. The level where they’re effectively an operator.

This person would be miserable in this place regardless of AI because their boss doesn’t value them or the work. They would have a more fulfilling career in another studio, where generative art may still be used, but as a tool not a factory to generate things to rush out the door.
I don't understand how you're getting from a simple objection to the semantics of the word "dodging" as a description of "not working overtime for free", all the way to the implication that it's hypocritical to have that objection and also accept the concept of paid vacations, sick leaves, or lunch breaks.

Yeah, “I will interview Vladimir Putin” — thanks but no :S
I would like to give you a succinct answer, but I am not as well spoken as Robert Lustig, MD, a Professor of Pediatrics in the Division of Endocrinology at University of California, San Francisco, and the author of Fat Chance: Beating the Odds against Sugar, Processed Food, Obesity, and Disease.

"Can't read for their age" is the key part. Without specifying the numbers from years prior is not very relevant in my opinion. When I was in high school, it seemed like most everyone's reading/writing ability was between a 6th-8th grade level according to these scores. Made me wonder if the assigned scores were just too ambitious.

Sure, a 10000 hour moat is not a moat at all.
Which product do you use?
Blue collar work has to be compensated with overtime. Many electricians/builders/plumbers are independent contractors, so they either get paid for job or by the hour or whatever, they make their own rules. Programming is considered white collar work for some reason, we are generally considered to be salaried employees, unless they are contracting.
Are you unsetting your timezone, I hesitate to sound authoritative about because I really don't know, and have not found the correct man page yet. but usually you symlink /etc/localtime to the tzfile you want as your local time. what happens when you symlink it to a directory? in your case /usr/share/zoneinfo/Etc

My guess it that it effectively unset it, in your case that probably does nothing(system time is utc and dublin is in utc) what was it set to before?

edit: all I can find is localtime(5) and it only says that /etc/localtime is the local time zone file.
Kefir!
Thread is specific about linking to Etc. Also from the linked thread:

> I've noticed systemd (PID=1) is running at 100% CPU utilization. That's not normal. I ran this command:

strace -f -p 1

> The process was reporting continuously attempt to access /etc/localtime file. That's also unusual.

> I managed to get the output I was receiving on the console while tracking systemd process.

stat("/etc/localtime", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=3522, ...}) = 0
stat("/etc/localtime", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=3522, ...}) = 0
stat("/etc/localtime", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=3522, ...}) = 0

Maybe if it's endlessly failing to stat the target, any valid target might help.
This is why I think companies that have real follow through in terms of taking care of layed off workers exit compensation and next job assistance are doing the”right” thing for everyone.

We all win when loyalty can be counted on to go both ways.

Companies that can count on extra employee efforts win.

Employees that know their employer is not gaming them, and won’t dump them cold, and will advance their responsibilities and compensation as fast as they can, also win.

When there is a strong reputation both ways, everyone becomes a motivated partner for everyone else.
Show HN: 13Sheep – a JavaScript game largely authored by ChatGPT
13 Sheep is a quick roll-and-write game designed by Moritz Dressler, intended for one or more players. By drawing fences on a grid, players try to protect as many sheep as possible before the wolf comes. I reproduced the rules in an online experience, allowing for additional user customization compared to the pen and paper version. A lot of the code comes from a conversation I had with chatGPT.

Here's a blog detailing the prompts used in the conversation with chatGPT: https://www.neeldhara.com/blog/13sheep/
Did the president know that when he made the statement?

Why is it that Faccui, the CDC, and the WHO are so hated but I haven't heard for an investigation into Pfizer.
A few interesting ideas in there, and they're up front about platform and costs.

I have a question about the book. I haven't been able to ask anyone else because I don't know anyone else who is working through the book.

Is the first half of the book boring or is it just me?

I wasn't really expecting the scanner/lexer to be interesting, but the interpreter part as well feels like an absolute slog. I started with a lot of enthusiasm but just couldn't keep going after implementing functions. I downloaded someone else's JsLox implementation and was planning on just skipping to the VM part of the book and hopefully would find it more engaging.

I also am a pretty jr developer. I have about 5 years experience since I started learning to code so I just may not "get" it yet. But I found writing the interpreter to be incredibly boring.

I think that's a fair ask. The hiring manager or recruiter should symmetrically put in as much effort as you did to tour application.

That said, a lot of companies get really high volumes of applicants, and can't always do that.
It’s all true but you will have a harder life if you give all your servers Unicode names and directories and set them to some obscure time zone that is 15 minutes off.
Somebody should make an AI service that automatically files appeals. I suspect that the cost of the appeals process would negate the savings they make from auto-denying claims.
Why wrongfully? Is there something wrong with the term "micro-computer" that I'm not aware of?
Your kids medical file contains that information and the emergency doctor is not going to call you for allergies information. You being as the hospital now or hours later is not important in an emergency unless you are also the doctor.

Your kid being followed in a car and kidnapped doesn't change because you are by your phone. If the police ignore you calling about a car following you the cell phone isn't going to help

In your situation I would trade in your cell for a gun. It gives you a fighting chance against kidnappers and I would not let my kids out without armed guards. Whatever protection a cell phone provides parents in the first world those benefits apply less in your situation.
Yeah - that and the lack of feedback when generating the static files. It's fine when it's a small site and generation finishes ~immediately, but when it's going to take a while it'd be helpful to have some indication that things are happening and when they finish.
These days the expectation around promotions is that you've already been working at the next level for 1-2 years and are due for a correction in title and compensation. Basically, you have to let the company exploit you while crossing your fingers regarding the light at the end of the tunnel, which might just be the ditch light of the layoff train.

The 100 million people in India who are no longer in poverty do not matter?

Obviously the target number of starving children is zero. But the reality is that we are not going to get that number to zero overnight. It takes incremental steps.
I think that’s only true in the US. All my contracts in the Netherlands and Japan always specify the number of hours.
How do you dial it in right?
The Inkplate 10 is great. I haven’t gotten a lot done other than toy stuff, but so far it’s been a mostly good experience.

Another nice entry point is micropython. Some of the getting started stuff has gaps but overall nice and simple if you’re more comfortable in Python. Major libraries have ports so it mostly is an easy dive in.

Arrr!
Sorry, I don't quite follow, is your point that CL has two complicated macros and is therefore a "too big" language?

Yes, LOOP has a lot of syntax to make it look somewhat like "hey, you can code this in English" and FORMAT is discount Turing complete, but there are a lot of language features out there with complicated syntax (regular expression, for example) and X86 Assembly's MOV is also discount Turing complete.
I cant wait to see the future where we have uring (io_uring) based tools that all work async, getting hopefully embarassingly parallel. Heck yes copying & deleting 2x as fast.

Actually I'm on btrfs so reflink copy is like instant I think? I should test that better.
And the cost of your Aetna PPO per year?

Also this is anecdotal. I too have an Aetna PPO and can tell you of horrid stories and countless hours on repeated phone calls with them.

Not saying you just did this (you obv did not) but as a whole in this country we need to start dropping the “it didn’t happen to me so something must be wrong with you” mentality. It is pervasive in the healthcare topic and unfortunately in many other facets of American life.

Germans in WWII that enjoyed the fruits of the regime have sang its praises - that didn’t mean the war machine on the whole wasn’t decimating the people and their country. We shouldn’t lose focus of how our country is being decimated by our collective ineptitude.
It was way more effective against pre-omicron variants.
Bing has essentially stopped working for me, and I'm mad.

Mad because (pre ChatGPT) I had been getting better results for a little while than with Google, and also mad because I expect Google will soon screw up their search engine in the same way.

What I'm referring to is that popular queries suddenly seem to have a much larger "shadow" making it impossible to search for anything remotely similar.

This was already a degenerative disease degrading Google search, but what I assume is the AI infusion to Bing seems to have taken it to a new level.
I would like to watch a Star Trek episode featuring you as the misguided extremist trying to destroy replicators because they put cooks out of jobs. Give it a few years and I'll be able to prompt GPT-9 for exactly that.

At any rate, the future is here. You're free to stick your head in the sand if you wish, but most of us think it's a lot of work to do all that digging, and frankly a little silly.
A rather unpopular message. :)

The winds of change are blowing though, it seems a rare in history movement may be coalescing on TikTok as we speak...TTFN, nodes!!
Eh I'd say he's just popular among the edgier anti-establishment people of all shades. He was pretty explicitly anti-progressive in his manifesto and also would most likely be labeled as a reactionary by the "far-left", since he targeted technology as the source of society's ills and not the ownership of capital.
That is a very good point :-)
This is probably true broadly. To the degree that AI bots overwhelm submission and communication processes in general, people will increasingly say screw it and drop into their networks and private channels.
Right, there seems to be a great many people out there that don't understand the implications of retrospective analysis of trufthfulness.
I have been but was paid hourly
It's possible the subject itself is "boring", and I have found other compiler books to mostly be intolerable.

Crafting Interpreters, IMHO, is the most accessible book on the subject. If you didn't find the implementation of the first part exciting, I would suggest to probably ignore the book code after reading the text and implement it yourself, and later compare with the book implementation. I encountered several pleasent surprises using this approach.
Not GP but 20.04 to 22.04 fucked something up that ended up (I can't remember what off hand) being quicker and easier to just format and reinstall Ubuntu.

Admittedly I did it right after 22.04 dropped rather than waiting for 22.04.1 or even a week would have been fine so that's a little on me.
I did get a similar check from my state government too.
This kinda blew my mind, thanks!
Nim Language Design Question: Back End C vs. LLVM IR (2019)
Back in the day, I'd call in someone from the secretarial pool to take this sentence down and type it in for me...
The Tractatus is about the limits of language/thought/the world (as a formal logical system), and the primary result of the argument in the Tractatus is that you can technically say nothing sensible about meaning or the world itself from within it, and the natural result of this is that the Tractatus is, itself, as an attempt to describe the world/language/thought itself, from a formal point of view, nonsense. Having said that, there are points of view outside of formal logic, where the Tractatus apparently and essentially all "philosophical" questions, which perhaps we can view now (from the ladder), although we cannot and probably should not say anything about them, as it is impossible. This is somewhere between the End of Philosophy and mystical gibberish, and while it sounds like that's an important distinction to make, by the rules of the game it is a nonsense distinction, so here we are.

Wittgenstein essentially rejected this view a decade later, so if he felt no obligation to abide by the paradoxical inconclusions of the Tractatus, neither should we. But it's a remarkable, frustrating little book in any case.

... >And understand why this was submitted to HN in the first place?

The implications of this to formal logical systems is enormous: Gödel's theorem is rubbished*, AI consciousness is impossible*, the meaning of the world lies outside of the world and so our lives have to be oriented at some technically nonexistent point beyond the horizon of reality to have any hope of escaping the absurdity of sensibleness.* After writing this in a WW1 POW camp he quit philosophy (because he had ended it) and became a (very bad) elementary school teacher and then spent several years designing a doorknob[1], as one does.

The willing horse gets the whip.
The short answer is: some should be replaced, some should be cancelled outright for being stupid, and some are great ideas that should continue. Those two institutions are massive and encompass such a large variety of things that they have things in all categories (should be taxed instead, should be cancelled, and should stay banned).

The technically correct answer but practically silly answer is: yes because the correct charge for the externality of poisoning everyone would be asymptotic and unaffordable by anyone so it would amount to a ban.

Also the concern is not about being a jealous tyrant, the fact of the matter is markets almost always work better than dictating what to do, especially in the long term due to reacting to new information more effectively and changing course more effectively than an authoritarian regime.
If that resulted in a backwards time it wasn’t expecting ..,
I hope this doesn't sound too mystical woo-woo to you, but its not about understanding concepts, its about understanding what happens after concepts. There is more to life than logic, and logic, while useful, should help one to understand that.
> And the argument k8s is too complicated so build our own looks really bad from an engineering perspective.

On the other hand, React is too complicated if you just need a bit of JavaScript on your mostly HTML/CSS page... So now you can use Hotwire if you like.

I don't see what's so bad about that (same things as MRSK and k8s)
For now. If Bing starts replacing all the search on android and touching android revenue, im sure Google will do the same thing that Apple did. Google literally lives and dies by their ads.
An absurd comparison. Agriculture is an essential facet of civilization, and that water directly produces food.

Show HN: ChadCode – ChatGPT Plugin for Software Engineering
Hey all, I hacked this out this afternoon after getting access to the ChatGPT Plugins API.

Right now, it integrates code & issues from a repo in a format that ChatGPT can easily navigate.

It can summarize/create issues for you, help you debug while looking at your code (without the copy/paste), etc.

Would appreciate any feedback. What other features do you want to see?

I'm intuitively suspicious that what people call Theory today begins with "all map, no territory," and results in, "maps all the way down."

This seems similar to a ladder of physical competence, but applied to philosophical reasoning. It's not clear to me that there is a there there outside of math, physics, (and increasingly computation) where you have to physically practice the calculations to arrive at the conclusions, whereas I don't think philosophy has an analogous objective competence. Ironically, some mysticisms like meditation (and perhaps even prayer) may even have a higher bar because they are a physically transformative competence akin to practicing music, whereas attaching yourself to an academic and fundamentally political consensus doesn't have the same honest signals or investment.
It's saved my ass this week coming up with coding exercises for a course me and some folks are working on. Has been a rough week. Depression flaring up. Creates a real mental barrier at times. GPT has helped a lot. I still will do the code myself and all that. Just came up with the written out ideas for exercises which really got me over the hump. It's incredible how helpful that was.
But the bug resided in an open source library, not their own code. What else could they say?

Bugs will always exist whether you have a QA dept or not.
Most bleeding edge stuff is going to be designing the compute pipelines/hardware for ML.
