Nothing about LLMs?!
I'm not saying developers are all like this. I'm saying I used to be like this. I was definitely one of those stereotypical introverts. I just didn't want to socialize at all. Computers were so much more interesting than people to me. As a kid I felt more comfortable just immersing myself in computing for 14 hours straight.

Only after I moved away from programming to a people-oriented profession did that change. I'm sure others will have different experiences and they're just as valid.

I don't think I have a sour grapes perspective at all. I'm proud of my choices. When I was writing that post it just became clear to me the consequences of those choices: what I gained and what I gave up. Sometimes I wonder what life would have been like had I made different choices but overall I'm happy with the path my life took. I still consider myself a failed programmer but that's okay.

I was absent from hn pretty much exactly when chatgpt broke out for a few months. the first thing i noticed when i returned is how it now dominates this site. there's pretty much always 2 or 3 chatgpt related articles on the front page. It's interesting to see how swept away users are. Especially as my impressin of HN in the year 1BC (before chatgpt) was general skepticism towards claims of ai.
I mean we have ~4,000 page bills going through Congress today, it is impossible to even verify anyone has read through the entire thing. At least this will be a start.

Among the three EVs it will launch this year is the Equinox EV, which should also start at less than $30,000.
How do other industries do this?

Is programming weird because you can just ask someone to prove they know how to use a hammer? And so other industries just have to hire based on work history and/or bias "culture fit" during the interview? And they suffer terribly from people who can talk the talk but not walk the walk?

Or is programming weird because there's so much propensity for people to be able to talk but not walk? We rely on nerdspeak and jargon so much that just being able to prattle on in a dilbert-esque way would otherwise convince someone to hire you?

> I'm sure it leaves enough out to make most experts angry

It's not that it leaves out details, it's that the articles metaphors are not actually correct in regards to the way deep learning works.

This post mostly confuses both reinforcement learning and ensemble models with deep learning. If you only enough "enough to be dangerous" then this post will steer your intuition in the wrong direction.
"growth"? lol, more like usage.
It's more that only really strongly disagreed with that point. Frankly, there are some cons with using Ocaml. In practice, I think the library support for ocaml isn't completely there given the small community.

Okay...so you have to add a third party library to print? Yes, recursive data structures are a pain in Rust (well, recursive multi-owner data structures). But that's like comparing changing your oil to opening your car door. We do one of these a lot more. And bear in mind, I had to find this answer by googling and reading a random forum post. That's some pretty poor documentation.

And that's not talking about aesthetics. `T.show foo` or `Foo.to_bar value` is a lot of syntactic overhead for a rather common task.

And again, these are the lesser concerns to the other ones I outlined. Reading the code, building the code, and understanding the compiler errors are the big ones.

Until technology advances thee is only one way to make meat: by killing a living creature. You do not get to just remove that step from the conversation because you don’t like it. There is no “huge difference” when the action is a required part of producing meat.
To avoid any unwanted matches with grep (e.g. ports 1999 and 19999), use:

Education isn’t inherently a zero sum game. Last I heard, we were winding down “gifted and talented” programs because there wasn’t much evidence they worked.

What the elementary school teacher I know says (besides that we have bigger problems in the US system) is that the high achieving students aren’t held back by low achieving students. The quicker students are often found to teach the slower students and gain an even stronger mastery of the material by doing so.

The whole stock market in 2023 makes no sense to me, not just Bed Bath and Beyond. So many companies no longer pay dividends. So many classes of stock are now non-voting shares. Common stock shareholders usually get nothing if a company goes bankrupt and liquidates.

So if I don't get dividends, can't vote, and am not entitled to a share of the company's assets, what is the actual value in owning stock? Do I just wait for the share price to go up, sell at the peak, and pass my shares on to the greater fool? That's starting to smell a lot like the worst sort of crypto trading.

Sorry, that's what I mean. It's safe in the sense that you can roll it back, but it's not safe in the sense that other concurrent transactions will see the table as empty if they are long-running.

This also applies to modern CNC milling machines. But I don't think anyone would consider them as such.

I added that after-the-fact in response to this comment. So that's on me for not including it originally.

- Read outside your "interests"/"comfort zone" [0]

- Talk to other people (especially those a couple degrees separated from the field you're trying to think about)

- Try to come up with bad ideas [1]

- Carry something to write on and with (no - just typing it into your phone is not good enough (but it's better than not recording it at all))

- Ask questions - they're more important than ideas [2]. I reprinted "35 great questions" from Inc a few years ago [3] ... maybe they'll be of help here :)

- Listen to music (especially instrumental or in a foreign language you don't know (eg Carl Orff's Carmina Burana)) that isn't "your thing" ..discovery mode (or whatever the different services call it) on streaming offerings can be pretty interesting; likewise checking-out random albums from your local library

There're a few ideas for you on how to get ideas

John Kerry: relying on technology to remove carbon dioxide is ‘dangerous’
We didn’t stop trusting “authenticated sources” because of “crowdsourced information”.

We stopped trusting “authenticated sources” because they constantly lie to fit whatever agenda is being pushed.

Yeah, ease of use. I haven't wanted to bother with running local LLMs until now because I expected it would be complicated and time consuming (and I'm technically competent). I managed to get this up-and-running in about five minutes.
You can only select and copy from text entry fields. Kind of weird for sure. And I can't figure out how to copy even then on mobile.

That seems significant, for Hollywood. What am I not understanding here? Why is this wrapped in a "the only" phrasing?
The discussion here seems to have ignored what seems like the interesting/new part of this. There has been plenty of prior research and media around blanket use of antibiotics creating _drug resistant_ bacteria which are harder to fight with drugs. But this is saying that additionally because some antibiotics are similar to chemicals endogenously produced within our own bodies, they also produce bacteria which our bodies are less effective at fighting on their own.

I.e. this isn't just about the use of antibiotics -- this is about the use of antibiotics which are _similar to parts of our own immune systems_. Using antibiotics which are more dissimilar to our own immune responses would create _drug resistant_ bacteria but not _immune resistant_ bacteria.
They also used unit sales instead of revenue. Pirating a $60 new release and buying a $5 steam game we’re both counted as 1 unit.
We never "learnt" any facts (like who was king/queen/PM/president or whatever) - usually you'd study one very narrow period for an entire year.

So one year you'd learn about the Roman empire's withdrawal from Britain, the next it was the Russian revolution, the year after it was the Wars of the Roses or whatever.

Exam questions were always always always in the form of "The Roman withdrawal from Britain was inevitable. Discuss" or "The Industrial revolution led to the fall of the British Empire. Discuss". I.e. long-form essay answers, perhaps 2 or 3 essays within a single 2 or 3 hour exam. You never had to just recall naked facts on their own - you needed to know some to answer the essays of course, but you never just recited.

So pros and cons - I have no idea about what order the Prime Ministers were in or Kings and Queens or if the Edwardian Era came before or after the victorian era etc. I lack historic knowledge, but I guess the skills learnt were useful?

I have no idea what it is like now - my experience is a couple of decades out of date.

edit: looks like things are more or less the same still. Example paper with questions specifically asking you to critique historic sources (page 3): https://cdn.savemyexams.co.uk/uploads/2023/01/1hia-11-que-20.... Moar: https://www.savemyexams.co.uk/gcse/history/edexcel/-/pages/p...

No they have not. Gary Gensler still won't give a simple "yes" or "no" to whether ETH is a security, even when under oath in a hearing.
My take is that a lot of Europe has not gone for growth-at-all-cost, in particular with immigration, and so has offset lower salaries with more manageable social programs and lower cost of living generally. There are downsides, but "managed decline" is not necessarily a bad thing. I think western europe is actually going to become an increasingly popular destination for people leaving US + commonwealth countries.

I thought that this was me ("The industry in which I have based my entire career just doesn't excite me anymore."), but then I realized I actually am mostly just interested in programming the way some people are interested in any other skill or machine. Some people learn guitar because they need to make music and play out. Others just love playing the guitar, even and especially when nobody is watching, for its own pleasure.

To me, there is no greater toy than a programming language. ChatGPT is neat, but it isn't a programming language. Same for blockchain or agile or whatever other trend is happening in the industry. Some of the trends literally are new programming languages! Golang is really fun! So is TypeScript!

Some trends or technologies make programming even more fun (in my opinion anyway) and I embrace those feverishly: distributed version control, CI/CD, pair programming (sometimes it's even more fun with a friend!), configurable linters like Perl::Critic, Intellisense, JUnit-style testing frameworks. All this stuff helps me feel more in control of the computer (or distributed cluster of computers), which I've discovered is the main thing that gets me off about programming.

I'm even still hopeful that LLMs will have some role to play in my having more fun with programming. I've tried CoPilot and so far it hasn't grabbed me, but maybe this will change. In any case, there are clearly other people having fun with it so I guess that's good. Maybe somebody can find joy by debugging GPT-4 prompts the same way I enjoy pouring over stack traces.
Also:

- The scammers - how many well-meaning people can we use an LLM to build meaningful (to them) relationships with, to the point where they're willing to just send us money?

- The griefers - how much discord can an LLM create, for the lulz?

(to be fair, those might be subsets of "realists", but I think they're important subsets)

As far as I can tell, a lot of the more recent IKEA stuff we've bought is using that "wooden oatmeal cookie"[1] and honeycomb cardboard junk. I think some commenters are underestimating how much their materials have changed.

We've even have an older version of a shelf unit that is nice, solid pine, and gone and bought the current version and the current version has changed to that wooden oatmeal cookie[1] crap.

Glue does still help, though.

I'm summarizing the talk, not giving opinions of my own. It is by an OpenAI researcher who is saying why they think GPT guesses so much and what they are doing about it.

I don't quite follow the rest of your post. Nobody is saying the solution to truth is to let it guess. At most, sometimes something not 100% perfect is preferable to nothing at all, but obviously only sometimes.

The point is to identify what in the training process is accidentally causing it to guess too often instead of admit when it doesn't know or is uncertain. Some of this bias comes from the nature of the data set. On the internet, people don't normally post "I don't know" as an answer to a question because that's useless and would be considered spam, but in conversation it's normal and desirable. In other cases they have QA datasets where the goal is to impart knowledge so every question has an answer, but this accidentally trains the model that questions always have answers. Human raters may accidentally reward guessing. And so on.

The talk goes in to what can be done to correct these biases.

Finally, in many cases where the models hallucinate it's because they can't look anything up. Yes they know a lot but just like a human this knowledge is compressed. So they make up references that sound plausible but don't exist for true facts, for example, because they can't check Google Scholar to find the right reference. This is exactly what you'd expect to see from a human who was forced to come up with everything off the top of their head. Think about how much programmers hate whiteboarding interviews, it's for the same reason. Giving LLMs tooling access does make a noticeably large difference.
I like meat. Vegetables just don't cut it. Eating meat is one of the few pleasures in my life, and I'm not willing to give it up for some vague ideal.

I'd assume a lot of people think the same way. It could be considered somewhat arrogant to demand everyone to give up their personal pleasures for something you believe in.

We could solve all world's problems by collectively killing ourselves, but obviously we don't want to do that. Giving up things is somewhere on the spectrum between giving up our life and not giving up anything. Who gets to decide where the line is for everyone?

Also, FYI, with mattress firm, your warranty is null and void if you ever spill anything on your bed. I bought a mattress from them and within a year, in the literal use of the term, came apart at the seams. One night I woke up and my elbow was... in the bed rubbing against a spring.

I assumed such a structural failing would be under warranty, but they rejected it because of a roughly 2" stain on the mattress. Apparently, that stain was structural. I'm still salty about it.

You're correct on this for registered nurses:

But very incorrect on this:

> really [nursing] seems like an entry level into the medical profession

Become a registered nurse is not an entry level job. It can be a job a person gets before they pursue a more advanced nursing career. You may be thinking of something like a CNA, which is much closer to "entry level":

Which doesn't pay significantly better than a fast food job and is extremely demanding both physically and emotionally.
