and

> you start from the assumption that when you see something, you wonder why it is the way it is. Then maybe you observe it and maybe do a little research to figure out how it came to be the thing you see in front of you.

These both resonated with me deeply. I see a lot of people in tech who got into it for the money, or -- more charitably -- because they thought it might be cool, without much depth to that determination. I got into it in the late 80s, when I was 8 years old, because I was intensely curious about how things (first mechanical, and later digital) worked, and wanted to know how, and wanted to be able to make things that worked in the same way.

I'm not saying the first category of people are deficient, but I definitely see people like that struggle with things that seem fairly obvious to me. Of course it's just because humans are pattern matching machines, and I've devoted a large chunk of my life to exploring these sorts of patterns, at many different levels of abstraction.

I'm not trying to say I'm somehow so cool or a better human because of it, but I do think that "being a curious person", and having been acting on that curiosity all your life, really does give you a leg up when it comes to tech-focused fields (and presumably others, but I don't have experience with them, so I can't say). Most problems boil down to a much smaller set possible solutions, and being able to see the patterns that get you there can take more experience and time than many people are willing to devote.
I remember one day, back in my home country. Some teachers gathered in front of the local government building demanding better salaries and working conditions, and caused inconvenience by stopping traffic on the streets in front of the government building. I was stuck inside a fucking tunnel for three hours thanks to them.

I was actually sympathetic to their demands. But on that day I just really wanted the police to go there and disband their protest with use of violence.

It didn't spur me into civil disobedience. It spurred me to desire a more authoritarian state. I just wanted the freedom of not being stuck inside a tunnel for 3 hours on a particularly hot summer day.
It does, but there’s more discussion beyond that.

Probably most words for which the origin is known started out as a metaphor.

Examples:

hallucinate - mid 17th century (in the sense ‘be deceived, have illusions’): from Latin hallucinat- ‘gone astray in thought’, from the verb hallucinari, from Greek alussein ‘be uneasy or distraught’.

induction - late Middle English: from Latin inductio(n- ), from the verb inducere ‘lead into’

Wikipedia:

> Metaphor: Change based on similarity between concepts, e.g., mouse "rodent" → "computer device".

> In historical onomasiology or in historical linguistics, a metaphor is defined as a semantic change based on a similarity in form or function between the original concept and the target concept named by a word.

> In cognitive linguistics, conceptual metaphor, or cognitive metaphor, refers to the understanding of one idea, or conceptual domain, in terms of another. An example of this is the understanding of quantity in terms of directionality (e.g. "the price of peace is rising") or the understanding of time in terms of money (e.g. "I spent time at work today").
Genuinely curious, how do you (and everyone on HN) suggest enforcing that?

On the one hand, yes, I'm afraid for my freedom and that of my friends, but on the other hand, drug cartels are really, really bad.

I've used it as a stand in workflow/case management tool in dev and production apps a few times.
e.g. when presented with a lot of detailed requirements on case management from product managers, and knowing at an early stage they are far too detailed to stand up to the reality of being used in the business, I've argued for simply creating a new project in an existing well-speced Jira instance with minimal workflow, taking that live as a prototype and modifying the workflow later, possibly with the goal of getting better specs for replacing it with something custom-built.

As a development tool for stories / tasks and bug tracking I don't enjoy it.

The traditional way is the "Three Fs". Family, Friends, and Fools.

If you don't have access to capital (via a loan, mortgage, personal savings, etc) then you ask your family if they can give / loan you the money. Then you tell your friends that you're starting a business and would love their support. Finally, you go online and make a Kickstarter to try and part idiots from their cash.

> I got into it in the late 80s, when I was 8 years old

I read this, and instinctively thought, "Wow - this person's old! This'll be a cool historical anecdote".

Then I remembered I was also 8 in the late 80s. (I had an old BBC B Microcomputer I programmed on badly.)
> Seeing four of them in a row in the same range with nothing going over 0x7f suggested SOME WORD IN ALL CAPS. It was.

As opposed to some word in lower caps that would have had some bytes going over 0x7f? ('a' to 'z' go from 0x61 to 0x7a) That sentence got me confused!
This whole affair is embarrassing to behold, and it makes it extremely difficult for me to try to build traction using Rust in my team when there is this level of visible drama.
Yeah this rhymes with my experience. AI could perhaps turn this dynamic on its head if we let it into all the code bases. Now it can perhaps explain the background for all the nooks and crannies in the code. It could chip into any discussion in the corporate or community environment to tell you why another team has designed the way they've done. It can potentially act as a mediator to make a more cohesive whole.

But that all also kind of sounds a bit scary. It has to be built in a way that inspires trust.
There's a big fat blurry line here. If someone is protesting the use of green energy by chaining themselves to an electric powered rail road track, is that okay? That's effectively what has happened but was a different cause.

The cause should be irrelevant, we can't pick and chose how disruptive it can be based on how much we currently agree with it.

IMHO disruptive protests are ineffective anyway, in fact they often alienate people. Effective protests are ones with clear messages and lots of coverage. You don't need to be disruptive for that, though it can help.

The punishment should be the same whether it's about protesting or not.
PeerTube Admin 26: Distributed (Remote) Transcoding in 5.2.0
The guy kind of immediately struck as someone who would not check the ruls forst, or outright ignore them, only to turn around and rant about him not being allowed to cheat. E.g. by selling basically counterfeight batteries when everyone else uses non-branded batteries is cheating those other repair shops. That he wants to ride the, very legitimate, right-to-repair wave only seems fitting. Right to repair does not allow you to use counterfeight parts or illegal sources and ignore customs.
I agree, that was my thinking as well. And I've seen these articles and concluded the same. There's definitely a dynamic there.

While they are very public figures of DL, I don't think it's fair to call them godfathers of DL anyway. Restricted Boltzman Machines are nothing without Boltzman machines. There were so many people involved at the time as well, it's unfair, especially to their research teams most probably having done the heavy lifting anyway.
So there is no way that you will accept anything from scientific research signed by a myriad of important figures in any science anymore. Shaman time? Or you will accept only the scientific research that you think is correct and suits you.
In my experience this is not true. Developers were on average more sticklers for "the rules" and very often overinterpreted restrictions beyond what compliance professionals deemed nescessary.

That was a nice way to explain, thank you! And also was a reminder for me that living daily with all these technological developments, one loose the perception of that we are the current cavemen of future societies. After 100,000s of years, all these will the first paintings on the walls.
If something leads to a mental reasoning of "OK, but then again not really", just don't do it?
I would have agreed, except for:

Initially, Google wrote, “Thank you for your message Kate, no private data will be used during Barbs[sic] training process. We always take good care of our users’ privacy and security.”

"That seems like a clear and heartening assurance. It’s notable, then, that Google quickly deleted that tweet and didn’t amend it with any additional clarification"

That makes me wonder if another model was trained and then pulled in. Example being the Gmail one.

Certainly wasn't the case when a public research university partnership seeded by a generous donation from Nvidia co-founder/UF alumnus Chris Malachowsky was formally announced[1] shortly after DGX A100 launch[2] several years ago, never mind the handful of other academic early adopters mentioned in the press release.

Of course, we tend to conveniently forget such exogenous details.

> Your freedom to be an imbecile takes away my freedom of living in an imbecile-free society.

Unfortunately for you, this "freedom of living in an imbecile-free society" does not grant you or the government to decide which opinions (as forms of speech) are "imbecile", and to limit their spread through censorship.
It burned out from too much stress, it probably needs a career break now to travel and some therapy.
The discussion here is not if it was trained or not in Gmail data, but on personal Gmail data. And that the definition of personal is vague and subject to interpretations.

They can say it was not trained on Gmail data because it was trained with Google’s Smart Compose, which it was trained on Gmail data.

Gmail Data -> Google’s Smart Compose -> Bard

It all depends on where you draw the line to stop reporting. Language is a powerful tool of deception.
I remember seeing a study (and spent my legally required 5 minutes Googling for it before I gave up), where older people are having collagen formation issues (a very common thing, its one of the major signs of aging), and supplementing collagen was not improving their condition, only adding C, an important cofactor, improved collagen formation rates meaningfully.

I doubt they suddenly stopped eating sources with C in it because they became 65+; instead, I think its more realistic to consider it as the end result of a lifelong habit of low C.

Personally, in my own life, its only as an adult that I have a significant constant source of C. As a child, citrus fruits, non-citrus fruits also high in C, and vegetables known for their high C content weren't common; all of my C came from kid's multivitamins, and who knows if the amount of C in them was sufficient.

Now, I eat sweet potatoes almost every day. Lots if C in those.
Ask HN: Do you think you will still work in traditional software in 3 years?
Traditional software = non AI-based software. For example, traditional web apps, mobile apps, servers, desktop applications.

Please answer personally for yourself.
I don't know why you're getting downvoted.

It's likely something like

malloc('HTTP') // note the single quotes

or

const char* s = "HTTP";
malloc(*s);

Also I would expect the string to be reversed if she's working on a little-endian system (which the most common ones today are, including Intel 64 bit and ARM64).
It's not just about supply chain attacks. It's also about convenience and practicality. After a few months or years there will be some major dependency version updates to do, and often there is some manual work associated with that. Maybe reading changelogs and documentation, or checking if the package is still maintained and looking for alternatives. Doing that for 5 packages is reasonable, doing it for 20 or 30 packages is a liability.
There should be a thing call "Yeetcode" that rewards you for deleting as much code as you can and still solving the problem.
Agreed on all points you make btw. If I had to contend with the rental market, and didn't already have much of a senior-ish network here in London which is currently keeping my pay well above what I can get anyplace else in the world (except the US), I'd be upping sticks as well.
RISC-V Software Ecosystem
It is not GDPR, it is available in some countries outside the EU with GDPR-like privacy regimes.
Which is interesting, because if they can't comply within the EU, then how do they comply outside of the EU. With that I mean, if they have concerns that there is private data of EU citizens somewhere in that, then that is also in there for users outside of the EU. That said, they do not comply with GDPR anyway. If that its not the case, then they could also enable it for users within the EU.
It's not just you. Probably they added some sort of classifier at the beginning to understand whether they should send it to 3.5 or 4. In my (very opinionated, undocumented, and mostly unscientific) opinion, more complex queries generally hit the old model, with the slow chugging of tokens. For example, I just asked it to refactor a very horrible POC in python that was creeping into the 200 LoC and it did the job wonderful. The prompt was:

`Can you refactor this function to make it:
* More readable
* Split on different parts
* Easy to test

Consider the use of generators and other strategies.

Yes and I have to say I am using it less than I used to.

My gut feeling is they have to be careful now and don’t slack, because I have been using generative AI for a while now and I am not seeing the major problems being tackled. I also see a distinct lack of novel problems being solved. It’s just one website and/or marketing copy generator after another.

AI is awesome, but I am kind of on the fence if this generation is going to be actually useful.
This is soo cool. Very impressive!
Re: collab. I'd love to do something once I don't feel underwater with the stuff on my plate :)
Lawyers use language in very specific ways, and anything that's not completely obvious can be used to hide the truth. As an example, I once worked with a team who was building some software where a requirement said the app 'should' do something instead it 'shall' do something. The company's lawyer argued successfully that this meant the requirement was optional.

https://carnegieendowment.org/2022/08/15/south-korea-s-decap... provides this account of official ROK strategy:

> Every Pyongyang district, particularly where the North Korean leadership is possibly hidden, will be completely destroyed by ballistic missiles and high-explosive shells as soon as the North shows any signs of using a nuclear weapon.

For the DPRK the official strategy is not known as far as I know, but in 2022 they passed a new law explicitly authorising preventive nuclear strikes if "it is judged" that ROK is going to strike state leadership. See https://www.apln.network/analysis/commentaries/north-koreas-... which also links to a janky translation of the law.
I don't know the details, but for example, "x265 disables AVX-512 support by default due to clock speed regressions on Intel Skylake-X systems"[¹], which means that yes, this is an existing problem.

PyScript Limitations for building data web apps
Just use GPT-4 via api?
Not GP, but in almost every introductory text to JIT compilers I've read there is a section called "advantages and disadvantages" and it almost always mentions that JIT compilers in theory have more information available than ahead-of-time compilers (ie all the information AOT compilers have and then also runtime information) and can use that information to safely do optimizations that AOT compilers cannot.

But then when you look at the actual code of JIT compilers, such JIT-only optimizations seem extremely rare. The JVM, surely one of the platforms that have had more than enough dollars and top-level CS talent thrown at it, even after ~20 years it still apparently lacks many optimizations that you'd expect to be in there if you've only read the introductory texts about it.

The linked MR about AVX optimizations for sorting is one such example IMO. AVX512 was first announced 10 years ago, and (not being deeply into JVM development myself) I might have assumed its use would be more prevalent in the JIT output than actually seems to be the case.
Stupid! Me, as born Russian, start shaking my head in the morning and stop when falling asleep.

Why can't Putin just stfu his barking dogs. One thing is being at war (starting a war) because of some reasons, other thing is to pour oil into the fire.

One thing I learned in life is to let your enemies look dumb. The art of war is to keep your enemies behind you and being a step ahead in any situation, but not to bark when you should be quiet.

And now, with drones coming at Kremlin.. lol.. friends of my living abroad and having families there (obviously Russians) where in the beginning like "it's not goodx, but it can be understood why" are now like having their *sses cold grounded.

Who is setting fire should consider his own home to be burned.

Looking at the implementation, it is implemented in C++. I'd rather have an implementation using the new Vector API (still in incubation). It would be more Java like and provide a good demo for this new API.
