It's funny to me how many people want to skip writing boilerplate and view AI as their salvation from boilerplate. Yet boilerplate is probably one of the most automated-away tasks in existence today. Templates and templating engines have been in our languages (C pre-processor, Lisp macros, etc) and IDEs since forever, and every reasonably sized company I've worked for has had repository and git and k8s and spring boot and django templates available for use. And let's not even mention Googling for boilerplate on Stack Overflow.

But, more subtly, the number of people who want to ignore boilerplate entirely is a bit scary too. That boilerplate is where security issues worm their way in. Where efficiencies can be won or lost. Where sev0 incidents are born.

Boilerplate isn't there to frustrate you, it's usually there to configure your program. And if you don't understand it - if you simply delegate its generation to the least smart entity in the room - you're in for some nice 3am phone calls.
Would rather invest in US Indices for nominal fees that are less than .1%. 1% is a very high fee that reduces the hassle of opening a Zerodha NRO account. 1% is 4 times the fee of Wealthfront, the company you are trying to replicate.
the issue I had with the Soderbergh/Clooney version is it almost stops being about Solaris at all, and is instead just about the individuals.

What was brilliant about the novel (to me) was that it was about our inability to understand of communicate with the alien intellegence, while at the same time, we are unable to understand and communicate with others of our own species. The two threads mirror each other, and almost completely removing one, leaves it a less interesting story. The Tarkovsy version doesn't do a great job of this either, but Solaris plays a bigger role, so you at least get an inkling of the ocean mirroring our own inadaquacies.

You can probably get it to improve on that by asking it if the order of the topics makes sense. It can often self-correct if you ask it to reflect on what it's already said and give it a push in the right direction, although not always.

Just because a company’s motivations don’t match what a niche customer wants, doesn’t mean their only motivation is profit. They certainly have other motivations beyond profit, just none that you may care about. Consider the Ford Bronco, where one of the motivations was to beat the Wrangler. Given their engineering decisions, profit was certainly not the only motivation.
It’s quite common when talking about oppressive authoritarian regimes.

Two years ago, I paid around €300 for a pair of original Haori from Japan. The shipping costs where around €60, which was expected, but the taxes and import fees added another €170 to the total expenditure. That's not 100% of the product's price, but it's damn close.
We can compromise and say "none" :P
> LLMs are not (currently) AGI,

I feel like we need a new word for this gradient of intelligence. If you described the capabilities of an LLM to AI researcher in the early 1990s they would describe it as an AGI. I remember AI researchers using the term AI-complete to describe various tasks, by which they meant that any algorithm which could do X would be AI-complete and thus would also able to do all the other tasks that associated with general intelligence. The ability to hold a conversation and use human language like GPT-4 was often referred to the most obvious AI-complete task.

How do we know when we cross the threshold into AGI? If you have a robot library that can paraphrase any knowledge in any book in the library that probably isn't AGI, if they can make inferences on this knowledge to create new knowledge is that AGI? How complex and novel do those inferences have to be, before they are an AGI? What if we have a LLM that strongly surpasses human intellectual ability in every regard but one or two?

> The obvious guesses (greater propaganda and internet spam) are likely shortsighted.

Better censorship, better filtering of propaganda, internet/phone spam, and probably most importantly cheaper moderation of online spaces. If you control the LLM that filters/moderates your feeds, then you can build a reality tunnel for yourself and/or control your dosage of memetic toxins. If you do not control the LLM that filters/moderates your feeds, then hopefully it is run by a competent and transparent organization that has your best interests at heart. If it is not, you are in big trouble. Much like sedentary agriculture, once a human society adopts this technology it is the both the solution and cause of most problems.

The thing that worries me the most about LLM is the ability to create addictive media. Humans become addicted to gambling, porn, feeling strong emotions, exploitative freemium games, etc... Technologies can heighten the addictive nature of media e.g., a lot less humans were addicted to porn before the invention of the camera. Color TV is probably more addictive than black and white.

A slot machine is not a complex machine. It is a product of 20th Century industrial production: simple, easy to mass produce and designed to appeal to a model of the average human who visits a casino. What would slot machine look like if it was customized to each individual to be as addictive as possible and that was always learning and shaping that experience to maximize engagement and extract money? By how much would it increase the number of people who have addictions? How strong of a parasocial relationship could an LLM create, if it was designed to create and exploit parasocial relationships?
You can't expect to be paid for fun stuff if it's done by robots better, until you are looking for artisanal craft career.

Artsy types doing art using basic tools such as brushes will be the same as handicrafted assembly in programming. Rarely needed and not much people are hired to do so.
Indeed they are, as they're recordings of Pulsar CP 1919:

>“EIGHTY SUCCESSIVE PERIODS of the first pulsar observed, CP1919 (Cambridge pulsar at 19 hours 19 minutes right ascension), are stacked on top of one another using the average period of 1.33730 seconds in this computer-generated illustration produced at the Arecibo Radio Observatory in Puerto Rico. Although the leading edges of the radio pulses occur within a few thousandths of a second of the predicted times, the shape of the pulses is quite irregular. Some of this irregularity in radio reception is caused by the effects of transmission through the interstellar medium. The average pulse width is less than 50 thousandths of a second.” From “The Nature of Pulsars,” by Jeremiah P. Ostriker, Scientific American, January 1971.

Human culture is constantly evolving, it's a mistake to assume that the flaws of today must remain so tomorrow. There is also AI to consider.
I think the comment is bad because it does not lead to an interesting discussion – ‘that’s just the way such people are’. I think it could have been made in a way which is more curious about why the mentioned group might behave in the way described.

This sort of disregards the large percentage of people who get hooked on drugs while recovering from injuries or medical issues. After marijuana, pain killers are the second most abused illegal substance.

It's about power. From the article:

> Communist authorities dislike the idea of anything, let alone a large private business, outshining the party. And the country’s leaders bristled at the high profile of Alibaba’s founder, Jack Ma, an icon of Chinese enterprise who every now and again dared question their decisions.
The Intel 8051 can do limited bit level addressing. It's restricted to a specific 16-byte region in low memory, which it makes it different than either the 432 or 34010.

It is very impressive. However, the fact that it manages a buffer of something like 30k tokens (or whatever new limit it is) means that it's definitely autocomplete and not something with reasoning. There will be a lot of things it can't do because of that limit. That limit will also increase the amount of forgetfulness GPT4 applications have because companies using it will "auto-magically" work around the limit by sending different chunks of history to it to get whatever from it. That also means that GPT4 applications will generally be architected to have that limit - which means weirdness - non-coherent completions or code generations that "forget" something important.

This is very different from real reasoning that has unlimited (yet imperfect) memory.
Because without also limiting the size and power of private entities you're just arguing for corporatism with extra steps.

If you force government to be smaller and less powerful than corporations then corporations become government.

I was seriously thinking of replacing an aging Dell laptop with a Mac running parallels. Until I saw the prices.

Maybe you missed the whole discussion which was stemmed from complaints about big cities and the frustration many people are finding with being able to save any money, purchase or rent a suitable home, live in a safe neighborhood, avoid long commutes, or raise a family.

Life is more than just buying lots of stuff and experiences from other people in big cities. Giving back to your community and allowing them to enjoy your talents should enter the equation too. Don’t always be a taker.

China can't print money and go in infinite debt mode like the US does?

Between this and the Ioniq 5, Hyundai seems to have just decided that electric cars need to look as weird as possible.

(It's possibly not the worst idea; electric cars tend to look a _bit_ weird anyway due to the lack of a proper front grille, so maybe going deliberately extremely weird is as good a way as any to handle it...)
Has it?

Because when I look at humanity over the ages, I see a select few using technology and violence to exert power and influence over the great many to further their own desires.

I don't see that changing in the future anytime soon, especially before AI gets to be the next technology in a long line of technology used to oppress and inflict violence on others.
WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, and Oculus all used to be separate companies. They can easily become so again.
I'm not sure if you are talking seriously or ironically, so I will assume the former.

Agency is a wonderful thing to have. But it's not as difficult to realize as getting something to be good at general intellectual tasks. Just built into the system a goal of utmost priority which is "to survive", and everything follows. There is a (slight) chance that it is not as easy as that, but I wouldn't bank anything on that chance.
In Canada and many other countries the work you do "for free" can actually be looked at as a donation to a charity and reduce your income tax burden.
Apple licensed it's MacOS back in the mid-90s to third-party hardware manufacturers. If it was forced to by the government, I imagine it could do so again.

You have a pretty pessimistic view. Regardless of WFH or going to office you need to make a conscious effort to move more.
did you ever stop to think that maybe if they bought a $1200 windows machine it would have lasted 4 years.

also macs were very early to hop on the ssd train and that was an insane advantage over most windows machines. I think that gap has closed substantially at this point.
That’s a great way to articulate the problem.

Imho, a brilliant solution is direct primary care. For $80/mo, I have access to a dr that works for me, and not my insurance company. Absolute game changer in that he has a bias toward understanding and optimizing rather than gaming insurance metrics to be rated as a double-plus preferred provider or whatever.

Also gets my lab work done at a fraction of what my insurance deductible would be.

Combine it with a high deductible insurance plan to hedge against the truly catastrophic/expensive possibilities.

There are direct primary care providers all over. Google it. I can’t recommend direct primary care highly enough.
>EDIT - I am surprised I am getting downvoted. You would think more folks on HN would be happy about long lasting products but the anti-apple bias is strong enough to override the concern of having a more sustainable product.

A small part of the reasons I downvoted you is this flamey statement here, because you seem more worried about the downvotes you were getting than with the content of your message and seem to base your opinion an what you think other people will like to hear, and when that doesn't work and people downvote you, you then resort to generalize and perhaps falsely calling people who disagree with you that they must have an anti Apple bias when that's not true.

You should always speak your mind free regardless of other people's upvotes or downvotes, and not start to attack those who don't agree with you as if only your opinion is the right one and everyone else who disagrees must certainly be biased.

Back on topic, no, I don't have an Apple bias, and the main reason I downvoted you is that I don't agree with your assessment of Apple making sustainable products when they've demonstrated time and time again being at the forefront of the anti right-to-repair movement and did everything they could to make sure to restrict, disable and discourage third party repairs as much as possible. See Luis Rossman's and Linus Tech Tips's videos. That's not what a sustainable company does.

I'm glad you've never had any issue with your Macbooks, but one, that's survivorship bias of sample size one, and two, that's just shows reliability, and in no way proves anything about sustainability.

Sustainability would be if you would have had issues and Apple would have provided you with assistance to reapir your old devices on the cheap. But your anecdotal experience of something never going wrong is no proof of sustainability as nothing ever went wrong with my Acer, HP, and Lenovo machines either, but that doesn't mean they're models of sustainability.

Framework is an example of sustainability, not Apple, because sell you with the parts to keep your machines going, in case something goes wrong. Apple does not do that, in fact the opposite:

"Oh, the display cable of your out of warranty Macbook is toast? Bummer. How about buying a new laptop then?"

That's not what a sustainable company does. Ever.

Based on these facts, I would encourage you to reevaluate your stance on what sustainability actually means and how it's defined on a consumer company and products. Peace.
> How is it bogus? outerHTML is an attribute of Element

Re-read what is written. I'm setting the outerHTML property of an element, not setting it for the fragment (which is the only way that your response would make sense).

> Have you considered that it's just a Gecko quirk that it happens to work in Firefox?

No, because I'm not a moron.

> Where do the standards say it ought to work?

Exactly where you'd expect to find it: in the specification of the outerHTML property (Leithead et al. DOM Parsing and Serialization, Extensions to the Element interface, §7.1 Attributes: outerHTML. 2016.)
