I'm from New York City and the computers in the schools were TRS-80s. The idea that Apple was everything is not accurate. Remember you had PETs, S100, SS50 and other computers out there.

Personally I think the real transition to personal computing happened later when non wealthy families started to get them.

Probably too late to post here but the timing of this article was interesting. I use the ~. on a daily basis because something in the firewall at work was causing my idle ssh connections to hang. But just yesterday morning right before reading this article I added ServerAliveInterval 30 in the client ssh config to see if it would help and guess what, the connections were not stuck today.
Imo you bought a house, not the exclusive right to call the streets "yours." If someone has only a street as their home, their claim to calling it theirs is at least as strong as yours.

This attitude is pervasive and subtle but important to challenge in ourselves. Homeless people are citizens, they are the public, they are residents of your city and your neighborhood. They aren't some other, external element that is transiently present. They are your neighbors.

Show HN: TestGPT to Test and Fix AutoGPT
1> AI Agents, such as AutoGPT, are trending on GitHub.

The concept is very intriguing.

Prompt an AI Agent with your goals and it will try to fulfill them.

This is an experimental project.

2> CodiumAI, powered by TestGPT, provides an IDE Extension enabling developers to generate meaningful tests as they code.

CodiumAI can be used to test and fix AutoGPT.

Thus, a first GPT-empowered tool is used to improve a second GPT-empowered tool.

3> Now, AutoGPT also includes unit-testing generation capabilities.

So why not apply AutoGPT to itself?

This raises the question around AI Agent specializations.

4> CodiumAI is focused on building a code-level testing AI Agent,

while the AutoGPT is (so far) a generic Agent, which is part of its charm.

5> I am the CEO of CodiumAI, and spend a lot of my time on imagining how 2024 and 2025 software development tools and processes look like.

In the tweet I link here, I present my thoughts, as well as relate to some recent opinions by other opinion leaders.

I would love to hear your feedback about CodiumAI!

What are the best strategies for increasing nose breathing?
What do you suggest other than wet sponge to clean the tip? I usually try and use a damp sponge, instead of a wet one. This is how I learned like 20-25 years ago as a kid though. I never learned how to professionally solder.
Well.. now it is.

early 00's Macs were overpriced BUT they had the die-hard Apple fans which were mostly professionals with high income, then by the late to early 10's Macs were actually inline or cheaper than PCs ( and much better ), but in the last ~5-6 years the prices have been higher and higher to the point a large portion of their newly found market are being squeezed.

I imagine those people are not buying PCs in droves, but they are certainly holding to their older hardware.
> they hunger for deep connections with other people

We all hunger for deep connections yet we shy away from making the first step. Everyone is tired of shallow, everyone wants depth, nobody wants to start.

You may be surprised how well people respond, if you just start. Be the person who takes it deep. If you initiate, most people will be happy to follow and soon you’ll be surrounded by deep connections.

Same as when you’re alone at a party. If you initiate, most people will be happy to chat and soon you’ll be surrounded by friends.

PS: while this is simple, it is not easy … but really, reach out to some people and take them out for a <beverage>. You may be surprised how many will jump at the chance

edit: it is important to note that raw time spent together is the fastest way to a deep connection. You can’t hack this. You need actual real time. Even if you never talk about anything particularly deep, the connection becomes deep by sheer virtue of spending regular time together.

edit2: relationship building takes years, not minutes. You cannot hack this process. But it does help to take the risk first.

I wonder if these differences such as policy on the allocation of resources and (not) raising the young on social media will have a significant impact on the economic futures of nations.
Yeah. The "modern woman" is definitely to blame, and not the stagnant wages, exploding housing prices, and rising inequality--not to mention weak social safety net--that make raising children cost prohibitive.
You can say whatever you want about Facebook, but their tool/system for committing code changes is sheer perfection. Starting with managing source code changes on your own dev server, getting it code reviewed, merging it into the main branch, and getting it deployed to production. All of it is easy to figure out, and it works without complications. It can handle pull requests of 20000 files without any trouble.
It’s a repeat of search & hope/trust (Google) vs define and query (semantic web) and yes they are winning and will win. Fine tuning your scope for extreme accuracy might be less efficient a strategy than fine tuning your loader for extreme speed
> no mention of the chip shortage

Because the shortage chips were not manufactured by TSMC? You don't need 3nm for every chip.
I agree.

I don't personally think it's necessary to go up to €150, but a low-quality entry-level soldering iron will cause a lot of problems, and you'll be blaming yourself for the lack of progress. I learned on a crappy one and always thought I sucked. On university I used one that was alright and it was night and day.

It is important that the soldering iron provides the correct amount of heat, and with entry-level irons it's always a gamble, in my experience.

On the other hand, spending the €150 from the start will save you a lot of time testing irons.
That assumes that the 11% are on the job market at all.

> Nope, learning multiple languages from the beginning has been shown to have many benefits.

Anecdata: I'm a native English speaker but as a little kid I was completely bilingual in French (dad was a USAF officer stationed at a NATO base in rural France; my sisters and I did our first few years of school in the local village schools). I've long had the impression that native fluency in both languages had benefits; it certainly gave me easy A+ grades in high-school and college French classes, but otherwise I couldn't begin to articulate what those benefits might be.

These days my French is pretty rudimentary, but my wife and I like to watch some English-subtitled French TV series on Netflix and Acorn, e.g., Call My Agent, Candice Renoir, and Munch; it's fun to recognize idioms and sometimes not even need the subtitles.
The article is more about hacking his medical system so he could move through the established process faster.
I'm also on Twilio and yes it is expensive, a longish call (10 mins) comes to about $1.

They charge you for:

* Time spent using the "Twilio Client" (whatever that means)

* Inbound call time

* Transcription of each audio chunk, billing them at a minimum of 15s per function call

* Every time you use their text-to-speech functions (not even that is free)
In retrospect, the Selfish Gene turned out to be simply wrong about its main thesis, that non-fuctional useless junk DNA was a major portion of the human genome (and of other multicellular organisms). Even worse, Dawkings tried to use that claim as some kind of 'there is no intelligent designer because an intelligent designer wouldn't have put all that junk DNA in the genome', and then when it turned out that non-gene-coding DNA had all these structural-functional roles, it turned into a creationist-vs-atheist debate.

Psychologically, I think Dawkins and his cohort are refugees from strict religious fundamentalist backgrounds who have retained many aspects of fundamentalist thinking while rejecting the religious part. They seem to think they've got it all figured out, but in many respects, their views are 100 years out of date, more in line with 19th century highly deterministic thinking about science and nature.

I think "scientists" need to stick with the program and stop calling stuff like the multiverse a theory at all. The correct scientific term is hypothesis, which is quite literally a hypothetical, carrying much less weight than a theory.

Where do you get that "3% lower memory bandwidth" figure from? LPDDR5 is running at 6400 MT/s on at least Apple and Intel platforms, and the fastest DDR5 SODIMMs I've seen so far are 5600MT/s: 12.5% slower, assuming equal bus width (only true for the base M1/2 processors).
Others have answered your question, but I'll add that the market for high quality AI models is not similar to the software marketplace, where there is always an open source alternative (and where open source is often the state of the art).

LLMs take so much engineering effort, research, and compute that it's unlikely there will be good open source alternatives in the near future. Right now your only real option is OpenAI (or maybe Anthropic) and that seems unlikely to change anytime soon.

The only reason we have LLAMA is because Meta threw us a bone. They might not do that again.
Should be pointed out that the site is run by Drew Devault of SourceHut, who may be sitting next to his datacenter while doing these measurements. But nice to see these comparisons.

Agreed. Tesla and SpaceX are succeeding despite his "leadership". He's bought his way into anything and actually innovated or created very little.

Division is multiplication by the multiplicative inverse. Subtraction is addition by the additive inverse. Both division and subtraction undo their corresponding operation. Multiplying by a (provided it’s not zero) is undone by dividing by a. Adding a is undone by subtracting a.

In a ring the elements form a group under addition and thus every element has an additive inverse. The additive identity element, let’s call it e, has the property that ea = e and ae = e. For this reason we use 0 instead of e. In a nontrivial ring 0 can’t have a multiplicative inverse because if it did then every element would be equal to the multiplicative identity (which is unique).
It's the other way around. Older men simp over their friend's daughters. It will bring them to ruin.

It used to be the boys who simped over the daughters. After the Anakin-esque Marian dramas ended, the Fathers started to simp.

The real problem is the complete destruction of the image of women. You stay on porn for some time and you will forget that modesty and imagination ever existed.

Porn also encourages a kind of erotic symbolism divorced from a real human. Normal erotic symbolism focuses on the hair, the smell, ect of a real loved woman. Engaging in the unnatural, abnormal symbolism, ensures that man's desire will be alone, never to find 'grounding' on a real person. (Havelock ellis mentions this idea).

Porn gives back almost no feedback except for sight and sound. The men who become accustomed to this, are satsified with a weak feminine response. It's not wise to capture weak women, a man is better pleased going for the strong feminine response.

Porn is here to stay, sure. But engaging with it is illogical.
Np - and you're probably right that I'm in the minority of people who'd care about having as much granular control as possible... maybe most people would rather something closer to a browser's privacy mode, so just a toggle on and off between very private and don't care about private?

They say "a good craftsman doesn't blame his tools" but when you start out you need good tools.

A non-temperature-controlled soldering iron is a huge impediment to learning because the temperature varies with usage and so its behavior is hard to predict for a new solderer.

Even between temperature-controlled ones there can be a large difference in ability to conduct heat into a part: my Pinecil takes far longer than my Weller (I recommend the WE1010) to heat a joint to the point where solder will melt. (the Pinecil is still nice to have as a mobile soldering setup)

More heating duration results in more part damage: overheated ICs and traces popping off the PCB.

There are conflicting signals. On the one hand, the rates are climbing so it is genuinely easier to park your money in something tangible if you think inflation is not going to be tamed easily. If that is a prevailing view, then some rush to pick any remaining inventory for non-perishable goods will be strong and keep the prices stable or rising ( housing in metro areas is a good example, where sales indicate stubborn price rigidity ).

Agreed on cars ( I just financed one ). I clearly could have pushed more just based on that. I am mildly annoyed with myself.

"Ask it to write the same program in some little known programming language. A human who knows how to code could do that by studying a small amount of reference material."

That depends on the language, the human, and their state of mind.

I don't think you have any chance of approaching formal methods if the notation is a stumbling block.

The difficulty and verbosity of formal proofs is huge even with the very concise mathematical notation. And learning the notation itself is a very small stumbling block compared to learning the actual theorems and logic that you need to use.

So while I am not a fan of mathematical notation for general programming (which is often quite un-mathematical in fact) formal proofs are a place where this notation absolutely shines. I can't even imagine how much uglier the proof above would become if you had to replace `∀ (n : ℕ)` with something like `for any natural number n`.
In what way is this post "analysis" rather than ham-handed moral posturing?

This kind of moral panic has galvanized conservatives ever since urbanization, industrialization, and first-wave feminism in the latter half of the nineteenth century. Its impressive how everyone sounding this alarm seems to suffer from (s)elective amnesia, championing the good ol' days without admitting that doing so is more a political posture than a historical one.
I was exposed to alloy by this wonderful video:

"Finding bugs without running or even looking at code" by Jay Parlar

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FvNRlE4E9QQ

I believe the general idea could be applicable in practice for core parts of most businesses software. So now I'm very interested in real world accounts of using alloy like this.

Anyone have other posts like this one or experiences to share along these lines?
Yeah tbh I’d rather struggle a bit more than have lead in the mix. Lead is for life
That's an odd analysis. The reason there was no unemployment was because labor's bargaining power was very low. Similar to how if minimum wage and social safety nets were removed, unemployment would drop significantly.

It's also a terrible idea to pin the responsibility on the current trend, rather than the many trillions of dollars printed over the past few decades (culminating in Covid), that were mostly handed to Wall Street and friends. That was an extreme concentration of wealth, pulled directly from the edges where people are stuck transacting/saving in dollars. The reason it's not glaringly apparent is that technlogical productivity improvements compensate for it.

Interest rates existing again is better viewed as a correction from the past few decades of misallocation. I agree that the centralizers will gain on this part of the cycle, as they do with every change. But rather than condemn the current conditions (thus setting the stage for another cycle of looting), we should aim to hold them as they are and let the economy rebalance to favoring some saving rather than pure immediate consumption - especially in light of needing more environmental sustainability.
Yep same story for me. Dawkins’ voice is a huge turnoff. After trying and failing to make it through “surely you must be joking mister Dawkins” I imagine he must be insufferable to be around in person.

I’ve noticed that bing chat is better if you instruct it not to search anything, that way it will use the model knowledge. I’ve learned to use the model knowledge or the web search results summary depending on what I want. But ChatGPT is still way better for model knowledge because it has fewer restrictions.

I wish they would make this distinction clearer in the UI. Most of the time it can answer without resorting to search, I think it would be better if the user explicitly specifies that they need web results.
I hope you're not calling me a "philosopher". I identify as a coder.

And what I want to know is where is the code for "meaning". I don't care why it's the code for "meaning", but if you point me to the code for "word embeddings" and you say "that's the code for 'meaning", then I'm going to wonder whether, if I ask for the code for "quicksort" you'll point me to the code for "bubblesort".

So, no, what we call things that do things is important, otherwise we don't know what things do what, and what things are being done.

And lest we forget:

However, in AI, our programs to a great degree are problems
rather than solutions. If a researcher tries to write an
"understanding" program, it isn't because he has thought of a better
way of implementing this well-understood task, but because he
thinks he can come closer to writing the implementation. If he
calls the main loop of his program "UNDERSTAND', he i s (until
proven innocent) merely begging the question. He may mislead a lot
of people, most prominently himself, and enrage a lot of others.

What he should do instead is refer to this main loop as
"G0034", and see if he can convince himself or anyone else that
G0034 implements some part of understanding. Or he could give i t
a name that reveals its intrinsic properties, like NODE-NET-
INTERSECTION-FINDER, it being the substance of his theory that
finding intersections in networks of nodes constitutes
understanding. If Quillian <1969> had called his program the
"Teachable Language Node Net Intersection Finder", he would have
saved us some reading. (Except for those of us fanatic about
finding the part on teachability.)

Edit: And this is not right at all:

>> That critical discussion was 10 years ago.

In AI, there are lots of people who say lots of things. They keep saying them, even when people point out that they are just things that they say. They continue to say them even long after the other people get tired and give up trying to make sense of what is being said. That doesn't mean that the "discussion" is over, it's just that there is no real way to stop people saying things if that's what they really want to do.

Is it? The incentives are not going to be aligned so far as the auditing companies are hired by the company being audited. It doesn't matter how many auditing company there is and the division of labor within.

Think of lobbyists, there are many different flavor of lobbyists, some might even be against the others. They distribute events, campaign finances and other things to legislators and as we know recently even certain members of judiciary. A bad idea in general in terms of the incentives at play.
