Sorry, you don't get to invoke the "reddit, mate" as if your point was twisted.
These are your literal quoted words, in their entirety:

"I'll defend Lucas til I die. His expanded universe is why I read so many books as a kid, and the huge number of star wars videogames in the 90s/2000s allowed game designers to tinker with different gameplay ideas with the star wars fans as a safety net. The phantom menace movie had a lot of flaws, yes, but without it we wouldnt have the podracing videogames. disney, comparitively, has released... what, two star wars videogames in 7 years?"

Want me to highlight your argument? Here it is...

Who said we’d only give the LLMs read access?
It emphatically does. It has pull-syntax just for the nested entities obviating the need for ORM. I am surprised I had to scroll so far down to see this. This is its biggest selling point IMO.
> The issue is steel, which is a cornerstone of "green" energy. That steel must be made with metallurgical coal and while there are alternative processes, they require hydrogen.

That's not really much of a problem. How much steel is going to be used for energy generation compared to the steel that's used by basically everything else, including construction? That's not a consumable (barring any hardware losses) and emissions will be offset across the lifetime of the generator.
Yet another reminder I should probably read all of Crichton's books because I love their synopses so much...
Men in the US of almost any age can get the HPV vaccine, but it rarely happens. The medical establishment ignored men and so failed when it should've vaccinated everyone.
I was curious so I took a look at firefox's profiler. It looks like it does a hybrid render, using a couple of canvas elements for the flame graph and the stack trace (up the top), but the rest of the UI is rendered using plain old DOM elements. It performs great, despite the whole thing being pure javascript.

Example: https://share.firefox.dev/40QUthv . (Though this trace is probably smaller than the profiling traces you're demoing.)
Not to be contrarian for the sake of it, but C++ might become a dead language too, if they don’t get their act together and modernize.

Why doesn't the rebellion build missiles out of small hyperspace-capable ships. Just point them at capital ships and hit go. According to the last jedi, this would be crazy effective.

I only read nonfiction (since I was 8 because a teacher told me I couldn’t check out any more nonfiction books from the library).

Just read the entire book in as little time as possible. And then try to use the information as soon as you can.

The reason is that isolated facts are easy to forget. A book contains a great many facts all related to each other. So if you read the book quickly the greater likelihood that you’ll associate more of these facts together. If you can use the information, even better, since it’ll reinforce what you learned. And/or read a more advanced book on the same topic immediately after.

People often take a really long time to read nonfiction, causing them to forget a lot of details, making it difficult to build this relational model of the information. Build up your tolerance for learning. It’s entirely possible to read for the entire day from waking up to going to sleep.

And no, this does not involve taking notes or breaks (unless you finish the book.. then do whatever you want but I find sleep after to be helpful for remembering).
And with Linux starting to support more and more games, I'll soon be done with Windows for good.
Summary:

The paper introduces LLM+P, a framework that combines the strengths of classical planners with large language models (LLMs) to solve long-horizon planning problems. LLM+P takes in a natural language description of a planning problem, converts it into a PDDL file, leverages classical planners to find a solution, and then translates the solution back into natural language. The authors provide a set of benchmark problems and find that LLM+P is able to provide optimal solutions for most problems, while LLMs fail to provide even feasible plans for most problems. The paper suggests that LLM+P can be used as a natural language interface for giving tasks to robot systems. The authors also propose that classical planners can be another useful external module for improving the performance of downstream tasks of LLMs. The paper highlights the importance of providing context (i.e., an example problem and its corresponding problem PDDL) for in-context learning, and suggests future research directions to further extend the LLM+P framework.

But the numbers seem credible and realistic when you think about OS usage at that time. If it was hallucinating from web-pages that only go back to 2009, how on earth did it come up with such credible figures?
> Most of humans don't/won't/can't make the same stand that the Amish take.

And when they do, they are seen as zealots, or something somehow unattainable. See how many here talk about GNU, FSF, etc.
Agree with lots of the criticisms of the piece in other comments.

I do instinctively agree with the theme of the piece that “human factors” have more of an effect on software quality than “technical factors”. I just don’t think the physiological factors listed in the articles are the biggest levers.

Sure, getting enough sleep, having a reasonable diet and exercise are great for people long term, but I think these factors have a much larger impact:

- company culture,
- whether a developers feel like they can push back on requirements,
- whether deadlines / expectations allow for sustainable pace of product development,
- whether product managers / other stakeholders put objectively bad requirements on the project (eg. trading off security for user convenience)
New York City Subway Ends Twitter Service Alerts After Musk Raises Price
It's the same shit at Meta. It's developer job security. Random group decides to rewrite in Rust but then breaks their shipped codebase for 3 weeks. They don't care. They have a new toy and don't care if they break things other people use.
The Amish exist because the government allows them to. If they didn't have a modern US military defending them, they could be easily conquered by almost any country.

The point I'm trying to make is that technology is a bit like prisoner's dilemma. If you don't advance, you will be destroyed by those who do even though we might all be better off with less tech. As an example of this, consider CRISPR babies.
The OSes have been the same since forever. It's just the same macOS kernel, filesystem, and basic userland with different UI and a few different core libs (given the different form factor and hardware features needed to hook to).

Most of the same people that fear the convergence also ask for "iPadOS" and "iOS" to be more like the Mac (add mouse support, multitask like the Mac, and so on).

So what they do fear is the mythical "dumbing down" of Mac, as in the outcry when Logic got a different skin, and everybody losts their minds as if it's now "just Garageband Pro" (meanwhile it has never been more powerful). Same for FCP (where a few features were lost due to the rewrite, not for any dumbing down).
You appear to be implying Brazilian judges are not politicized, which seems laughable given the Supreme Court as well as the message leaks.

Brazilian judges are not even in the same realm of impartiality as some first world countries. This appeal to authority falls flat, as it would if you implied Venezuelan judges were impartial.
> I keep seeing this and reports of decreased sexual drive and I always notice one environmental factor lacking from the studies, population. I go out to more rural areas and can't help but notice that people don't seem to have issues making babies in those areas, big families are quite common and most adults seem to have kids.

I have lived in a variety of rural areas for a number of decades and haven't seen this at all. I have 5 kids; I've seen very few families my size or larger - and nearly all of them were at church.
Man using leaf blower killed by neighbor
I've seen this kind of thinking very often.

Like the controversy when traffic light bulbs were replaced and incandescent were phased away in favor of LEDs. In some places where it gets very cold they got obstructed by ice. Because incandescent bulbs were so inefficient and generated so much heat, they didn't have the same "problem". So, because they could not handle the few days where this was a problem (just because it's cold, doesn't mean ice will form there), people were arguing that they were a bad idea.

It didn't matter that for 300+ days they would save a lot of energy. It didn't matter that they were better (and in most locations this would never even be a problem in the first place). It mattered that they were different and had different issues that needed to be solved. In those places, having a different design (or adding a heating element, only active when temps were low) would solve the remaining problem.

I've seen this sort of thinking in corporate settings too. A vastly inferior solution stays in place because a new solution doesn't solve all problems people can possibly think of - even when the existing solution doesn't solve them either!

It boggles the mind.
This is the same approach that Supabase Clippy took: https://supabase.com/blog/chatgpt-supabase-docs

They called it "context injection" but the OpenAI community appears to call it "retrieval-augmented generation".

Edit: I see now that Matt's post is talking all about these ideas. I'm happy that the terminology around this space is solidifying.

(Tangent) I will go to the grave continuing to call it Supabase Clippy even though presumably this prediction from the Supabase blog post became true:

> Today, we're doing our part to support the momentum by releasing “Supabase Clippy” for our docs (and we don't expect this name to last long before the lawyers catch on).
I have a love-hate relationship with Brave search. I love the browser, but the first thing I do (after disabling the crypto stuff) is change the search to Google. I’m tempted to change it to ChatGPT.

For searching every day things, brave search is great. For searching technical things, such as scientific articles or programming errors, the results are not just badly ordered - they’re often missing entirely.

At least, that’s how it was the last time I used it, which was admittedly about a year ago. If things have changed, let me know.
It's only for Pixel phones.
Apple TV+ the streaming service too is under-appreciated, Severance is one of the absolute best tv work out there yet nobody’s talking about it.
Somewhat orthoganal list here. That top 10 is almost all about "release frequently and test exhaustively and have well understood requirements." The linked article is all about "sleep and be healthy and work sustainably." You can be healthy happy and productive and ignore tests; or stressed and unproductive and write shit tests against shit requirements.

This is how I feel about devs forcing rust onto web UI development (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35722681). JS exists and people already make new toys (frameworks) for it every month. That's not enough and now we need rust on the frontend
From the linked study (https://rbej.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12958-023-0...):

> We included 190 studies in our analysis. In the group of associated health conditions, varicocele (MD = 13.62%, CI: 9.39–17.84) and impaired glucose tolerance (MD = 13.75%, CI: 6.99–20.51) had the most significant increase in SDF. Among malignancies, testicular tumors had the highest impact, with a maximum of MD = 11.3% (CI: 7.84–14.76). Among infections, the overall effects of both Chlamydia and HPV were negligible. Of lifestyle factors, smoking had the most disruptive effect on SDF – an increase of 9.19% (CI: 4.33–14.06). Different periods of sexual abstinence did not show significant variations in SDF values. Age seemed to have a more drastic effect on SDF from age 50 onwards, with a mean difference of 12.58% (CI: 7.31–17.86). Pollution also had a detrimental effect – 9.68% (CI: 6.85–12.52).

The usual way of putting this is that once a player emerges as a winner, that they turn towards regulatory capture. Or in the worst case players collude to prevent new players.
Yeah, I'm with you. The 80/20 rule isn't about "write code slow then speed up the inner loops", it's about "don't waste time optimizing the slow bits, which means don't waste time optimizing anything until you know which bits are the slow bits."

It's explicitly about micro-optimizations, not architecture. And it's about helping devs avoid bogging down doing pointless work making micro-optimizations that will never affect the performance metrics that you care about.
This literally does not matter if it doesn't effect fertility in a way which reduces the number of children you can father from the number desired.

I'm deeply suspicious of sperm count research reporting in the media, because the reality is a whole lot of western masculinity culture (because that's what I'm familiar with) is utterly obsessed with penis-related metrics as a proxy for "worth as a human being" for men.
OP has now said:

"Water evaporative coolers are very effective in Sudan because of the dry weather and they consume little energy and also use ceiling fans for cooling and other things like split units but I'm not planning to turn that power hungry device those days."
Those are great applications of AI. Still doesn’t explain about how DropBox canning 1/6th of the company will help them do that.

I can see DropBox making some interesting features for their products around AI. That’s going to require manpower to do it. Manpower that’s probably a little nervous about staying at a company that just did layoffs.
It is obviously impossible to generalize because there is also a lot of diversity in the community.

You can see that very visually when you have jewish orthodox people and near them the pride parade. Also, when you see some religious people smoking pot before sabbath... or orthodox women movements. All these seems contradictory.

I think the short answer is that there was and is a tradition for education and critical thinking. There is that joke about a jewish mother of a president that feels proud of his other son, which is a doctor. There are some variations [1].

Owning an iPad, there's one thing I know it's missing that makes me feel that I can't really use it seriously for development. And that thing is that you can't publish an iPadOS app on the App Store that allows you to compile and run native code within the app. So while there are "cloud IDEs" for iPadOS; and there are local IDEs for interpreted languages (or which do sandboxed interpretation of otherwise-compiled languages, like the Swift Playground) for iPadOS; there are no local IDEs for iPadOS that actually compile and execute native code.

AFAICT, this restriction (and the one where no app but Safari can use use the Webkit JavaScriptCore JIT) is in place, because the alternative — allowing arbitrarily-badly-coded apps to do "dynamic native code injection" — would be a near-infinite wellspring of jailbreak exploit vectors.

But, insofar as Apple's own semi-manual QA process is required to preventing the publication of apps that include this kind of "dynamic native code injection", a third-party App Store would presumably not inherently have this same restriction (although individual third-party App Stores might.)
There's no better example of the sort of problems "you get what you measure" causes than how even code review can go wrong. I've seen people use code review as an excuse not to test their own code, which is one of those things that made my eyes pop out the first couple of times I looked at a request with code that blatantly didn't compile or run.

That's not to say "don't do code review" but it's worth making sure the team understands the goals and their individual responsibilities vs just blindly putting a process out there. Like you say, "communication" is handwavy but critical.

Mullvad's RAM-based architecture is more of a "look, we can't accidentally log things, we don't have disk to log things on" than "there's no way to capture the secrets this particular server holds".
We really need a "GUI First" toolkit. Something where you can design different windows with drag and drop, and quickly/easily attach scripts to each event. IMO VB6 actually did a really great job in that department, but Microsoft decided to throw the sink at it rather than fixing the issues.

With VB6 you could design a simple form in seconds, or if you needed Windows API access you could also do so quite easily. I wasn't a fan of the language itself, but what you could build in a hurry? That is unmatched by anything today. You could literally build a tool to query any database with a Windows ODBC driver in under an hour.
Reverse engineering:

Some of the things that Clojure generates are valid bytecode for which there is no Java source code equivalent.

Reusing the pieces:

In general, Clojure works so well because it is all of a piece, with many decisions and subsystems working together. Datomic's source is the same way, you can't really consume just part of the elephant, even if you had the source code. Many things that Datomic does simply don't make sense at all out of context.

> It’s economics. Money (or lack thereof) is the thing.

That's a big one. My formerly inexpensive region now requires 3-4 typical incomes to keep the lights on. We're so many decades past the "One Income, One Family" ideal that even the Fed can't envision a world without everyone working at least one job.

There's a second factor. Between my parents generation and my kids generation - the amount of time required for parenting has gone up ~10 fold. We're about as close to 24/7 parenting as is (even theoretically) possible.
It's not looking things up, it is making things up. This is what it was designed to do... that's why they call it "generative AI"

Half of statistics are made up, so the saying goes. It's easy to make "credible and realistic" numbers if you understand confirmation bias. You want to believe in ChatGPT, so you see its numbers as credible and realistic, despite them not being so.

Also understand that we are in the beginnings of a hype cycle. There was a time when HN was exuberant about the potential for blockchain. I expect that our expectations for LLMs to be made realistic with time. I also believe that LLMs will provide value, unlike blockchain, so the hype cycle is probably closer to dotcom in how it plays out.

The plugin system will be interesting to see play out. It's sort of a hybrid system, using LLMs as an interface for intent while calling out to other systems for accurate retrieval. I'm curious how far it can be pushed, it's hard to see these things being able to interact and navigate all of the tools we have created. Too much variability and opaqueness.
