I don't get your question. Usually you have a starting point and move towards a target architecture.

Jira is no end in itself, only a tool. From a technical perspective, successful switch is done when all the old code can be deleted, while the new one is in production.

Management is more concerned with time, money and resources.

On the way towards your goal, whatever you decide on, is Jira and there are many ways to go. There are several enterprise migration patterns available, for example the Strangler Pattern for monoliths. This is just one approach. It really depends on the size and importance of your app as well as your resources.
Ask an LLM to write an IT security policy for your medium-sized company. Or describe the circumstances of a layoff and ask it to write a press release about it. Tell it about what you want from a holiday and ask where you should go. Ask for the lyrics for a song about Obama's presidency.

All of them are intellectual tasks (most of them quite well paid), but well handled by LLMs. Asking for specific facts, never mind references, isn't something they do well, neither are they really good at niche topics (yet). But still they are pretty good at a lot of things.

I'm not sure it's fair to label LLMs as autocomplete though. The last layer of them gives you weighted candidates for the next token, but that doesn't mean that nothing sophisticated or interesting happened in the other layers.

seems like that article is/was kind of a sick joke. i feel like reading an article about "how to waste your time/other people's time" is...a waste of time.
Show HN: CartoSVG – create beautiful map visualizations easily
This project aims at making the creation of rich interactive maps easy, with no compromise on the visual quality.

A goal is also to export the final SVG as lightweight as possible, with no dependency on external libraries, which are usually needed to have interactive maps on a website.

Feel free to explore the examples (the “examples” dropdown at the top-right) to explore what is possible to design with CartoSVG.
Yes! Incredibly annoying. Just checked my iPad and I had 2 notification markers or whatever they are called (the number on the Settings app icon) telling me about "special offers" since I recently purchased an iPhone and one to set up Apple Pay. On my Mac when I wasn't signed into iCloud I would get occasional popups telling me to sign in. Thanks Tim Apple

I am a senior/principle software engineer with 17 years of experience with companies such as Intel and VIZIO. I have been a team lead for 5 years. Problem solving has always been my talent and passion. I love to take advantage of opportunities at work to learn, improve and develop products. For example, I was never an embedded engineer but I took the opportunity to write the bluetooth pairing APIs for VIZIO’s first voice remote control. I once spent a week (a slow week during the holidays) root causing a deadlock bug on a TV with only a debug cable to make changes (ssh came later). I helped build and support highly available and eventual consistent pub/sub apps in 2015 to 2017, before Designing Data Intensive Applications book was available. I love CI/CD and the benefits it gives, and I even designed a setup from scratch after working in a department that had very high maturity level of build and test automation.
Because you have a contract, and that contract would be registered? And if you don’t have a contract, that’s a recipe for abuse of rights and tax evasion.
Also, so many are building their whole business around an API they do not control. They are one OpenAI decision away from being deleted.
Groups of people aren't people by that logic
It sounds like you're arguing we should be cool with China destroying the environment because some other countries already damaged it. Am I understanding your argument correctly?
There is this terse but dense sweet spot between Crichton and Sire (Naming the Elephant) that I aspire to.

Both require deep knowledge that surfaces in a few well chosen words that are packed together intelligibly. None of the GPT outputs can match that kind of linguistic mastery. I suppose I should add "yet", but I don't want to.
I don't think that fits the definition of rule of thumb.
I do genealogy. Of the family members that were born that long ago, we have pictures of maybe 1/4. It's not at all certain that "all family photos" amounted to much.
If Zuck employed ex-SS agents they must have been pretty old at the time. I mean, if you were 20 in 1945 you'd be 90 in 2015.
I was afraid of that too.

But then I remembered that I had already stopped reading some common Google search results because they seemed too low effort for a very long time. And they often looked like they were generated, not written. Just three examples from different fields: Quora, CNN, and CNET. But the list is much longer. In non-English parts of the Internet, there is also poorly auto-translated content from websites like Stack Overflow, which is weirdly high in the Google results. Fortunately, I found extensions to block these websites in Google search. So for me, and I believe for many people, it has already happened.

On the other hand, I enjoy reading articles from Simon Willison and Adam Johnson. And even though now we have very powerful chatbot services that can explain anything to you or effectively teach you some skill, I will most likely continue to read the content that they put on their blogs or elsewhere.

Reputation did matter, and it will matter even more in the future. I believe people will continue to read other people's texts. At least I will.
It was not that much of an engineering decision as a simple requirement for the chip to be feasible. At that time 40pin DIL was effectively the largest package that could be made at production scale.
I've been mostly using langchain and the direct openai api.

None of my code for this is worth sharing. It's all quick and dirty early experiments just to test if/how GPT handles various approaches.
This is HN... People enjoy not using Microsoft or Google products. Do it on neovim and people will be happy.
What would be interesting is to write a "Hello world" for the so-called "Native" subsystem, or sometimes I've seen referred to as the "NT" subsystem. You can see it documented by `link.exe /?`:

/SUBSYSTEM:{BOOT_APPLICATION|CONSOLE|EFI_APPLICATION|
EFI_BOOT_SERVICE_DRIVER|EFI_ROM|EFI_RUNTIME_DRIVER|
NATIVE|POSIX|WINDOWS|WINDOWSCE}[,#[.##]]

I've always wondered where it even finds application. I believe chkdsk.exe is somehow written in terms of native NT, since it runs in the limbo environment that's after booting, but before the OS really spins up.
If you could use it without submitting data to some ai company, or if it came with a non-disgusting terms of service, that would be a killer feature for me.

For example, the last ai company installer I just clicked "decline" to (a few minutes ago) says that you give it permission to download malware, including viruses and trojans, onto your computer and that you agree to pay the company if you infect other people and tarnish their reputation because of it. Literally. It was a very popular service too. I didn't even get to the IP section

edit: those terms aren't on their website, so I can't link to them. They are hidden in that tiny, impossible to read box during setup for the desktop installer
You're right, let me rephrase.

> I feel like there are no words for how much this sucks for me personally. It seems to me that if you are in most countries outside the US/EU, potentially excluding strong US/EU-adjacent economies such as Canada, UK, and Switzerland (Switzerland technically not being a part of the European Union), books in english can be hard to find for some people. Book Depository had what I consider to be decent prices with free international shipping to most of the world. Sure, I have to wait around a month and sometimes they have to reship because it got damaged, possibly in transport, but if I would like to have a book at that very moment I can use Library Genesis. Books ordered from Book Depository make up a large part of my personal library, with a few exceptions course.
I find value in rewriting/refactoring it as a learning exercise. just take a quick pass. now you are in a really good position to talk about what the strengths and weaknesses are of the existing version.
Only if they can pay back the loan otherwise you just end up with a banking crisis.
> Middle class kids can afford one throw.

> Poor kids aren't visiting the carnival.

This doesn't agree with my experience. I grew up poor, and by the time I hit middle class income levels, had already thrown the dart more than once. At middle class, I also threw the dart a few times.

One of the things people misunderstand about starting businesses is that they think you need a lot of money to do it. You don't. Adequate funding makes the experience more comfortable (fewer nights going without eating, the ability to hire people to help, etc.), and perhaps makes the venture more likely to succeed (although that's a matter of legitimate debate), but isn't necessary.

What's necessary -- regardless of monetary resources -- is an almost pathological drive to do whatever it takes to make the business work. I've found, personally, that the single factor that makes the difference between success and failure is being in a position where failure would mean complete and total personal disaster. Then my survival instincts kick in and help.
YC accepts about 2% of the ones applying, and plan for only 2% to become home runs.

I like this idea. So simple, but a great product on top of ChatGPT

(Cited from one of the lates YouTube videos, don’t remember which one)
Does this also happen with Active-Directory domain accounts?
I've had to ship back 4 different pairs of controllers twice now. This BS has me second-guessing ever purchasing another Nintendo console.
It seems like a nod to the “tr” command.
> Anders Hejlsberg

He left Borland and joined Microsoft in 1996. The year before, Philippe Kahn resigned as chairman, CEO and president, after 12 years at the company. I don't know if that was a symptom or cause of Borland's demise, but losing such key players must have been the nail in its coffin.

Anders Hejlsberg is one of my heroes, a giant in the programming world, being the creative genius behind Turbo Pascal (which I grew up with as a child), Delphi, .NET Framework, C#, and TypeScript (which I write regularly as a professional with greying beard).
You could acquire a different crypto on a US exchange such as BCH and then use a DeX which doesn't require any personal information to swap into Monero. You could buy a Mullvad giftcard on Amazon but then Amazon would know that someone at your address has a Mullvad subscription.
Ask HN: Courses/textbook recommendations for studying statistics and proofs?
Hi HN, as the title suggests I want to learn a more rigorous treatment of statistics including the proofs that go along with it.

I have a masters in a STEM subject so I am familiar with plug-and-chug mathematics up to things like Laplace transforms, fourier transforms, basic PDE's with straightforward solutions and trivial boundary conditions (plug and chug!)

But I lack the 'mathematical maturity' for proof based approaches.

Can anyone recommend a book/course for a first course in statistics?

And a second+ course (perhaps a different book/books)?

Ideally I would like to cover all of the common undergrad topics, from proofs, figuring out means and medians, up to things like bayesian statistics, and things like design of experiments.

As an aside I'm also incredibly interested in Ryan O'donnell's CS Theory Toolkit[1] @CMU but again I am missing the prerequisite comfort in proof based math for that, so any resources on that would also be appreciated (I think this counts towards the topic title of 'and proofs' ;) )

But they revisited and used that alternative later, in designing the 80286. (Launched Feb'82, with ~135K transistors, according to Wikipedia.)

If only there was a famous Bill Gates quote, about how 16MB (the limit of 24-bit physical addresses) ought to be more than enough...
Even for unsubstantiated health claims and telling people to go and take unknown supplements? Would you prefer a comment like that gets flagged?

I get the guidelines for inconsequential topics, but pretending something is valid when engaging with something that could be harmful seems like its elevating its legitimacy. In this case there is plenty of reading to do on the topic of burnout causes.

I guess the simplest answer from you would be the answer to this question. If i posted something encouraging people to not take vaccines, how does that discussion get handled? Does every comment and thought really get treated equally with curious responses? I guess to me it seems fair to, be short direct and point out the misinformation even if it appears to be flaming
How does the Chinese room thought experiment not also apply to individual neurons in the brain that don't understand what they are doing?

The second quote doesn't illuminate that. Which biological processes break the symmetry?

C is not all that close to the machine. It mostly works in an analogous way, but there have been plenty of times I've been frustrated by having to write a lot of complex, hard-to-reason-about C when the equivalent assembly is like 4-5 instructions. Types especially introduce a bunch of extraneous garbage that isn't at all related to what the machine does or what the program is trying to accomplish. Then, if you look at the generated code, it's ugly and not easy to follow at all, filled with unnecessary stuff.

If your job gets taken by an AGI and that creates a new job that it can't do, it's not an AGI. The only things a human-level intelligence can't do but a human can are physical labor (provided that robotics are not available). That is distinctly different from the industrial revolution.
Not only USA.
I would settle for some filtering features
Maybe in the deep south? Otherwise, here in the north and west, no, it is seen as a status symbol (or perhaps a grifter who is out stealing bikes).
People are good at self-deception. Good people can still get rich selling nonsense, as long as they succeed to convince themselves first.
Yeah I guess it's not totally crazy. I can see a couple of overdraft fees being enough.
Stalin was born in Georgia of course. But where did he live when he was doing his reign of terror?

Moscow.

Hitler was from Austria, but he still ran things from Berlin. And Berlin is where the power structure was, and still is.

It's always more than one man, even if the man is a dictator. The dictator is just the one who survives the power structures environment in a way to be 'the top'. And that power structure exists in a place.

The vast, vast majority of everything that actually happens under a power structure is done by everyone who ISN'T the dictator. And those folks don't just disappear when the dictator dies.

As to if a countries power structure represents a people or not, meh. It always says it does, and it draws resources, taxes, and conscripts from them. So regardless of any individuals take on if they are 'represented' or how that power is acquired, 'it is the people' near as I can tell.

And many of them are happy to murder anyone who says otherwise to prove it.
I've been a ~daily user for nearly a decade now and expect to remain one for the foreseeable future. The fact that Anki is FOSS, is still actively developed, and has a SQLite database that is easily queryable are important considerations for me when selecting tools that will be used over such long periods of time.
Maybe we need lorem ipsum but for a user profile table. No reason it should be unique if you aren’t trying to learn anything from statistics.
Looks neat, but most of the books I have are showing as "currently unavailable" :(
Maybe this works like a reversed Poisson distribution?

In running races, it's not uncommon for the winner to be minutes ahead of the runner-up, who is only seconds ahead of the 3rd. After they cross the finish line, several more cross soon thereafter, and then the bulk of the runners come streaming in steadily. Eventually, the bulk of the runners pass the line and we start to see stragglers who were far behind the group, trickling in one by one slowly.
It's not so bad. I used to order from book depository in an attempt to use an amazon competitor. Then I found out amazon owns it. Closing it down makes it more obvious to everybody that there is none, not in a really serious way, for online books outside the USA
I've got USB-powered desk fans at home and the office. I've tried a fair number, and typically get ones that have a couple of different speed settings and good bearing that are mostly silent.
Sorry about the negative attitude. It's just that my personal experience (I can't speak for others) is based on a lot of annoyances and observations.

Sure, I'm lucky to be having a relative short commute (by choice by the way). But on that commute I come across the following (Netherlands btw):

- Teenagers on e-bikes, all of them have a short commute. 20 minutes max.

- Old people on e-bikes going high speeds with balancing issues.

- Big differences in speeds on bicycle paths. 5-10kmh small kids on bikes, 10-18kmh regulare bikes, 24kmh+ ebikes & small motorbikes.

- Bicycle shops that carry 95% ebikes since they are high margin products

- Bicycle shops declining service on regular bikes

- Obesity and lack of energy for people in general

Disclaimer:

- I worked in an e-bike servicing company before, seen how quickly the products go bad

- I've tried e-bikes and found the lack of energy spent by myself a big issue. It brought me from A to B, but it didn't feel like I had been spending energy. Which I think is an essential part of using any product.
If by "private cloud", we mean carving out something from a public cloud, I'm still not sure I'd want something as important and private as AI to be in a cloud facility.

Even if you put together a private cloud in a data center, it's still going to use up a lot more electrical resources compared to say, an iphone-sized usage, much less in a low-powered, embedded application.

Also, there's a tendency for our civilization, when we make efficiency gains with breakthrough technologies, to then expand our usage. We don't do a great job of actually reducing overall energy expenditure.
Aaron Giles was just lamenting the other day that the GDI ellipse drawing is apparently slightly lopsided, since he's trying to recreate it :)

All the nay-sayers can go fuck themselves.

What about an AI built self-employment model.

What if you apply this to, say, making a decent self-shop for etsy-type users "Build me a hop using these product libs that I have made with descriptions and the picures" etc...
It’s now start to exist open source versions of ChatGPT and competitors, so I don’t think this is going to be a significant risk in 1-2years
A non-repeated string opcode is one byte for the CPU to fetch vs. several for the corresponding "RISC-like" series of operations (load, increment SI, store/compare, increment DI).

With the REP prefix (another single byte), an entire loop could run in microcode without any additional instruction fetches. Remember that each memory access took 4 clock cycles and there was no cache yet.

--

Eliminating opcode fetches might still speed things up today in some situations, but modern x86 cores are optimized to decode and dispatch several simple operations each cycle without having to go through a microcode ROM (and thus have to use a slower path for the complex instructions).

Also the fact that compilers didn't emit most of the more complex/specialized instructions led to Intel not spending much effort on optimizing those.
>> run AI-powered systems across all industries

> Sooo...data scientists ?

If someone using an AI-powered system is a data scientist (?) does that make someone using an electricity-powered system an electrical engineer?
In a comment you won't see unless you have "show dead" enabled, he says:

DD = due diligence

LOI = letter of intent

SPA = stock purchase agreement

RWI = reps & warranties insurance

That was in answer to someone earlier asking about those acronyms, but in a rude way that got their comment flagged to death, which also hides replies. I tried vouching for it to revive it so people could see the reply with that explained the acronyms, but it did not help.
Calling large-scale fraud "non-violent" is needlessly pedantic, considering the vast harm that it causes.

You know, I with most of you on being against this. I will always use offline accounts myself but for regular folks there is a security advantage to having an MS monitored and access controlled account, especially for people that reuse passwords.

-10x Engineer: Prevent 1 +10x manager from getting hired.

Encourage doubt and confusion that one person can make a 10x difference. Jim Keller is a lizard. Great engineers are a myth. Play up to the worst cynical beliefs of management: all engineers are just wasteful bums on seats, then prove them right.
