Of course there is, just as there was a way for poor rural kids in China to go to the top universities: have public schools offer excellent educations. Pay teachers to offer after-school programs. Pay teachers to give challenging course work. Pay teacher to give timely and frequent feedbacks. It's not about leaving no kids behind, as some kids are simply not good at academics. It's about giving the brights kids, no matter where they come from, a chance to succeed.

BTW, there's nothing secret about Asian students' performance. It's just that even the poor families would know to pool the limited resources to educate their kids.
Its just that usually the new tools and technologies that have this effect are accurate, deterministic, or at least try to be or pretend to be.

So, its quite literally an issue of lost knowledge. Is like replacing wikipedia with something that answers faster, but without sources. Its cool in the short term, and people are more productive at learning things, but you also go back to the hear-say time before books were invented.
This conclusion (i.e. that nuclear power is too safe) could very well be correct. But I’d like to see it underpinned with more solid economic reasoning. For example, while few people die from nuclear accidents they tend to be enormously costly. It may not be rational to spend billions of dollars to prevent one death, but it may well be worth billions of dollars to prevent the Fukushima disaster.
> Meanwhile, the A-10 is and was an amazing design and yet they want to ditch it.

I believe the argument that the A-10 is obsolete is the fact that nowadays the US armed forces have at their disposal far more efficient and safe ways to destroy ground targets and conduct close air support missions.

The design of something is irrelevant if it's obsolete. I'm sure there were exquisite buggy whips back in the day.

Here's an age-old HN post that amusingly enough is a top search hit on Google on this topic:

One of the things I've found is that at least with GPT-4, you can automate a lot of infrastructure. This can make it much easier to get started with new project where you need to set up various servers, containers, VMs etc. I haven't fully automated it yet, but I've done it enough manually through copy/paste between ChatGPT and the terminal to see it that would work if it was hooked up to langchain. You can create prompts to make it set up VMs, docker containers and then install and configure all kinds of software.

To make it work in most cases it should follow the same stuff as this implementation of a Reflexion agent for SOTA Human-Eval Python results, but use it for infrastructure. GPT-4 can generally figure out how to create tests from the documentation that will make it know when the task it finished correctly.

Rebase (with or without -i) is one of my most used git commands. The one thing I still get confused with is whether I have to commit to continue or not.
Chinese cities are so broke, they’re cutting medical benefits for seniors
This, exactly this, is what worries me about this industry.
Let me provide a counterpoint - ChatGPT made the code base more readable, it was able to integrate a few useful solutions the devs didn't know about, it helped write tests and even came up with a few good ones on its own.
> For me (in the medical industry), if something goes wrong and someone dies a horrible death, I can just say that I didn't write that code, ChatGPT did. Not my fault.

Liability doesn't work that way. Your view is so naive I'm having doubts about whether your an adult or not.

If you delivered the product, you're liable, regardless of where you got the product from.

After getting sued, you might be able to convince a judge that the supplier is liable. But getting sued is expensive, and the judge may not rule in your favour.

And even if it goes in your favour, OpenAI is simply going to turn around and point to the license you agreed to, in which no guarantee of fitness for purpose is specified, and all liability falls to the user.

You're still going to be liable.
Steam keys is all about the developers/publishers not Valve. They have started to limit the numbers they give out compared to sales on the Steam platform. But managing and revoking keys is up to publishers and Valve is pretty much hands-off with them.

> 12-step literature repeatedly, to exhaustion, emphasizes that the spiritual nature of the program is as the person understands it.

That has no place in the treatment of psychological issues such as addiction. It'd be like trying to pray your way out of schizophrenia or use meditation to get rid of a tumor. Or like asking a pastor to cure your ...

Actually, Americans do that a lot. I saw a senator asking parents to pray that no more school shooting happen (there have been 19 in 2023 alone in America[1]).

Keep praying, but a better strategy might be actual addiction treatment and stopping people carrying guns. Anything else is just enabling suffering. Other governments have worked this out. It isn't a mystery anymore. It doesn't require prayer or spirituality or faith.

Loop fusion is something that a compiler / interpreter should do. Compiler need a breeze of AI to detect such code.
For developers separated code is easier to read and to maintain.

"Charge you extra" is in fact the definition of a fine. :)

If you are off by more than 10% or $5000 you have to pay 120% of the under payment plus interest from your filing date. If you overpay you just get a letter and a check with no interest.
Something like SELinux would let you make any distro just as immutable as any of those distros in the list, to a finer level of granularity, and without having to use a specialized distro.
I find it incredible that they are bold enough to try to pass this as legitimate interest when the Internet Advertising Bureau (IAB) is currently neck deep with the Belgian DPA over that very matter.

Legitimate Interest is supposed to be used for thinks like fraud prevention, not for added value things like highly target advertising that requires building a profile of a user.

I don’t think it’s going to end well for Meta.
Until you need to distribute that project as a library, or you’ve shipped it as an app and now you need all users to upgrade library X or add library Y.

Python packaging is fine for small local dev; problems arise in distribution, rollouts of upgrades and ensuring your apps work in the zoo of local setups your users have

The solution is either to punish them all or none at all? That doesn't help, at all, to bring some kind of justice. Or would it be the case that given it's a sea of malfeasance and it's impossible to prosecute all of them to simply give up on the law and let it be a free-for-all?

Such an odd take.
Just checked in again after 2 months and noticed that roughly half of the people I follow have reduced posting or stopped posting altogether. I'm also not seeing a lot of posts from people that I follow until I go to their profile page.

My 'for you' feed is a mix of a sprinkling of the people I follow, with a hefty helping of 'entertainment', crazy people, politics (most of these accounts are still on my blocklist, which apparently doesn't function anymore) and a host of other stuff that do no interest me.
Valve let's developers/publishers to manage the keys they generate for Steam pretty much freely. And revoke them as they like. Then again, I don't think such system could work otherwise.

Just take it with the store you bought it from and ask for replacement or refund. Or issue chargeback. At least with third-party stores they are very unlikely to go after other purchases.
Your eyes have no value in this conversation. If you can only back up your claims with "trust me bro", they are irrelevant.
Nah, it'll still be human readable. that was the whole point of C and Java. Let the computers to the hard stuff in bytecode or asm.
Compiler development will get even more complex though.
This is still a bit insane to me. If I understand correct, you have to fill a form with a justification why you object, and then Meta will decide if you can be removed from the detailed data collection ?

Privacy is a basic human right, and the strawman argument of "Well don't just use their services then" is ridiculous with their influence. Also them touting to "connected the world"

When in reality is "connecting to world, but only if we can record everything you do"
That sucks. The more players in this industry, the better.
GDPR obliges them to delete your data upon request. But I'm not sure how well Facebook/Meta complies with this. This post from 4 years ago doesn't sound encouraging: https://ruben.verborgh.org/facebook/ Does anyone know if they've improved since then?

Interested. Is this going to be something like the Intersil 6120?
I have the same issue with App Store.

Id say it has approximate as high a chance to work as "random code from the internet". Also, it is often just relying on an old version of an API or a Library.
> I honestly have issue with using ChatGPT to write medical software.

GP is talking nonsense. No developer is ever going to be able to say "not my fault, I used what ChatGPT gave me" because without even reading the OpenAI license I can all but guarantee that the highly paid lawyers made sure that the terms and conditions include discharging all liability onto the user.

GP appears to think that if he sells a lethally defective toaster he can simply tell his buyer to make all claims against a unknown and impossible to reach supplier in China.

Products don't work like that, especially in life-critical industries (I worked in munitions, which has similar if not more onerous regulations).

The buck stops with whoever sold the product.

Sure, and on any distro you can "sudo mount -o remount,ro /" and also have a useless distro, just like using selinux to make the whole thing immutable.

The difference is you won't have to spent 2 years learning a custom policy language.
People that want an entirely containerized distro probably don't want to maintain a bunch of SELinux rules or deal with the inevitable breakages that occur due to old/poorly designed software that is needed for one reason or another. It's entirely opposite of the goal of making everything a drop-in no-maintenance package.

Poetry seems to solve the dependency spec part, both for libraries that need to ship specs for supported version ranges of dependencies and apps that ship lock files.

However: poetry still falls short in managing the python runtime, I am continuously having to divert time to help our data scientists untangle the messes poetry makes with virtualenvs and their local python setups.

Also, they broke backwards compat on the lock file format? So now devs running newer poetry versions break projects for devs on older versions because the lock files aren’t compatible?!

What? OP's argument was purely race-based. OP made absolutely no point other than underlining race-based correlations. If you remove all race-based remarks from OP's post, nothing is left.

In your own words, you describe OP's post as focusing on "race-related factors", and even then you try to accuse those who point that out of "projecting racist views"?

Are you serious?
This assumes that a future version won't have super-human coding abilities which can write code vastly better than any human. The language it writes in might not look anything like our current languages, because it might be able to write highly efficient code that it would be too slow and impractical for a human to write, and refactoring the entire codebase might happen automatically overnight rather than slowly across months.

In that world the skill won't be to code, but to accurately describe software/business requirements. Unless a future AI can do that too.
I still use it!
It depends on what your goals are and what your business needs. I would recommend reaching out to your local angel investors —- even if you don’t plan to fundraise with them, they usually have an avenue for you to get in touch directly with investors —- and they can interview you about your startup and dispense free advice that is much more informed than what I can give you here.

Assuming you are at a very nascent stage with your startup, there are still all sorts of options out there, including but not limited to —- Kickstarter, loans, raising from friends and family, running on a shoestring budget offshore, raising convertible notes from local investors (you probably have some of these people in your extended network already), selling preorders, self-funding (e.g. via collateral loans), grants, incubators (other than YC), etc.

There are a lot of variables, and several options to choose from depending on your particulars.

This is pretty funny because we can look at 'AI' which is being called exactly that kind of breakthrough and it is wall-to-wall emotional reaction to its existence!

Lucas Pope, Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucas_Pope

> He is best known for experimental indie games, notably Papers, Please and Return of the Obra Dinn, both of which won the Seumas McNally Grand Prize alongside other awards.

Papers, Please was a really nice concept, executed well. It even inspired a few other games, like Contraband Police, which recently came out and is pretty okay (like a 3D spiritual successor, sort of).

Toby Fox, Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toby_Fox

> He is known for developing the role-playing video games Undertale and Deltarune for which the former garnered acclaim and he received nominations for a British Academy Game Award, three Game Awards and D.I.C.E. Awards, the latter known as the video game equivalent of the Academy Awards.

Both Undertale and Deltarune didn't seem too impressive on a technical level (e.g. not going for flashy graphics like many modern titles), but the world building, the gameplay mechanics, the character writing and everything else just felt really, really nice and on point.

I guess both of those devs are a good example that projects with a good concept and even better execution are still likely to be quite successful. Personally, I'd definitely also throw the Outer Wilds game on top of this pile as well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outer_Wilds

Here's a documentary about its making: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbY0mBXKKT0 (spoilers)

However, such success won't be likely for the majority of the developers out there, which is to be expected. Not that people shouldn't make games that they are passionate about, just that they should set their own expectations accordingly.

You say modern societies, but historically this used to be vastly, vastly worse. Serfdom used to be a thing (still is in some parts), slavery too, to give only the most obvious examples.

These were staunchly defended by special interests who put a large fraction of their country's resources into maintaining the state of affairs.
By old projects do you mean telling ChatGPT to go and look at your codebase first? Or it's just a matter of knowing what topic you wanted to pursue and just asking those questions and shaping it through further questions?

NOYB is a much better source. These two paragraphs alone do a better job than the entire Ars article: https://noyb.eu/en/meta-facebook-instagram-switching-legitim...

> Background. The GDPR allows to process personal data if a company complies with at least one of six legal basis in Article 6 GDPR. Most of these six options are irrelevant for advertisement. While most companies require users to consent ("opt-in") for the use of personal data for advertisement, Meta (Facebook and Instagram) have tried to bypass this requirement by arguing that the use of personal data for ads is "necessary under the contract" when the GDPR became applicable in 2018. noyb has instantly filed a series of complaints and ultimately won them before the European Data Protection Board (EDPB) in December 2022. Meta got until April to stop the practice.

> One illegal practice replaced by next illegal practice. Now Meta announces to give in against the pressure by noyb, but instead of switching to an "opt-in" system, like Google or Microsoft, they now try to argue the next unlawful option, by claiming that their "legitimate interest" to process user data would override the fundamental right to privacy and data protection of users. This was tried by other companies before, but rejected by the regulators multiple times (see e.g. the Italian DPA on TikTok or the Belgian DPA on the IAB TCF at para 441).
We might try out both options here - if you check now you'll see we changed it :)
I agree. From reading the text it appears legitimate interests was not intended to cover tracking for advertising purposes. However some government implementations specifically talk about it as likely allowed (uk) and in practice it seems to be on all the ridiculous popups now. If it is allowed for this expanded scope it completely defangs a lot of the gdpr.
> Even Barack Obama, who opposed gay marriage when he ran for office

Wasn't that just a political play? Given that America as a society at large is pretty conservative, even within the Democrats base, pandering to opposing gay marriage gives a net positive voting.
Sounds pretty autoregressive to me.
I think data collection on the scale of what Meta is doing should just be illegal altogether, or at the very least it should be mandated as opt-in with the opt-in process being filled with warnings and never being the easiest way to get rid of a banner. It should be hidden away under a menu and there should be no banner at all.

The dark patterns used to trick people into opting in need to end. I religiously opt out on every GDPR banner, but even I've accidentally opted in sometimes because the button layout is intentionally designed to be confusing.

I see this being very useful for containerized use cases. Usually, you have a Docker file that installs and sets everything once at container creation time. After that, you don't want anything to change in the OS. Great for security.

If this is perceived to be a weak case, will this help Trump in his election campaign?

I understand even his loyal voter base are now sometimes embarrassed by his actions. For example, him storing confidential papers at Mar-a-Lago after his presidency finished.

That is different from when he was first elected as President. At that time he couldn't do anything wrong. I am sure the right wing press will spin this as a witch hunt, but will it fly with the voters on the ground?

Does anyone have more insight in this?
No NixOS? No Guix? C'mon those are the best ones!
If I'm going to ask the player to do something multi stage I will usually flag it so they know that there's a few places where things might go wrong. "OK well sneaking up to it is going to be the first hurdle; after that you're going to need to figure out how to get the giant lizard to cooperate as you smuggle it out the back".

That lets the party start thinking ahead a bit, so maybe the illusionist says "how about I conjure the smell of something delicious wafting in from out a back window – that way when the rogue manages to sneak up and untie it it'll hopefully pop right out the window by itself".

Whereas if after the stealth check succeeds you give a bunch of subsequent unexpected checks the player might feel a bit aggrieved that you hadn't signalled how much work it'd be (especially if it uses skills they aren't good at and would have avoided relying on).
Yes they are. But I also think there must be limits to what can be accepted by the non core base. The more extreme things become, surely - surely - there’s a point where the rational conservative says “wtf”

I can't say I've ever had a problem with NVidia breaking on kernel upgrades, and in general it's easy enough to just wait a day or two until the binary package catches up.

It's much more important for me to have functioning GPU acceleration and in particular CUDA, than it is for me to have the latest and greatest kernel. AMD doesn't come close and still has the same problem with binary blobs, and Intel doesn't work at all, so NVidia it is, although I agree that your requirements may be different from mine.
