A lot of my recent work has been focused on making this chat style coding work better with larger, pre-existing codebases.

I wrote up some notes on one effective approach:

Mac users of a certain age will remember this happening several times and it almost always ended up being better when it was just built in. Reddit's app is garbo.

I'm no fan of Reddit's management and the choices they've made in recent times, but I've yet to find anywhere else where I feel a true sense of community and source of knowledge.

Reddit is one of the first places I search for almost anything; if I'm using a search engine, it's almost always to "site:reddit.com <my query>".
You improved his work setup but app hasn’t been improved lately with thousands of bugs reported and ignored. Just go to his Apollo GitHub, I am an ultra user and it’s been frustrating to use that app as a Reddit Mod.

in what universe does a developer for a reddit client 'need' an XDR monitor made for color work?
This doesn't sound like much of a barrier to me. If you're a human training the LiDAR system, couldn't you just consult the image or video to help label whatever the LiDAR is seeing?

The issue with this argument is that neither the bomb nor the imminent Soviet invasion ended the war. The bombs were certainly one of the largest factors that ended the war, but it also wasn't the sole factor that ended the war.
I'm going to say [citation needed] on the assumption Reddit is capable of doing math. They have almost never made a good decision.
Being good at business means that they know where they can easily push and get away with it to get more money in the long run.

Their design is to control how the uploaded images are accessed and minimize the load on the backend.

They don't want hotlinking so the image data doesn't have a permanent url. They only want the backend to be responsible for sending image data. This then requires an image viewer written in javascript. This is not a bad design. This is fulfilling business requirements successfully and efficiently.

EDIT: efficient for the business not for your browser
Not really "a lot". When you think about providing absolutely best user experience, you gotta leave the engineering efficiencies out at the doors and live with the redundant API calls. The over optimization often comes with sacrificing the UX.

History is not the past - it’s the study of documents from the past. So history changes for two main reasons (1) the uncovering of documents that were not previously available for study and (2) new, more convincing synthesis of the existing body of documents.

I have inner dialog. Does this qualify as "think in language"?
I agree with your central point but take issue with this characterisation of human vision. For people who have two functioning eyes, the perception of depth is baked in. Our subjective experience of a 2d image is an illusion. In fact, much of our vision isn’t quite what we think; for example, what we think we’re seeing in our peripheral vision may actually get filled in based on inference and prediction.

AI improvements will eventually make their way to self driving. It has too much economic value to fade away. The question is whether self driving cars will be the cause or beneficiary of future innovation. There was a time when it was a cause. It looks like that's changing.

> it's just that the submissions got stale over time and the community smaller

In my experience, the people in that community want to keep it small, and private. They don't want folks not like them, around.

A good way to ensure that happens, is treat anyone that raises issues about the way they are treated, like crap.

We won't stick around for abuse. The people that are gaming the system, will endure it as "cost of doing business," but the folks that want to get something from the community, won't stick around.

I hardly ever ask any questions, anymore, and have absolutely no interest in visiting, just to answer them.

At one time, I was quite enthusiastic about SO, but no more. The shine wore off that knob, long ago.

They got the community they wanted.
I fucking hate these companies that exist solely to take the work and effort of individuals entering data into their systems who then turn around and lock it all up in the name of money.

I’m keeping an eye on Wikipedia but the worst offender next to Reddit is IMBD. They aggregate information and reviews and ratings from users and for like, two decades? Share proper dumps of that information because why not…give back to the community. They wouldn’t exist without them. And then decide to strip those dumps of all useful information and paywall the rest behind some expensive API while what…expecting users to keep contributing?

They’re all scum bags and the whole lot needs to be federated. I’m already paying $30/year for mastodon (as a donation) and I’m sure this can work with Reddit as well. I hear the front runner is Lemmy but haven’t explored it yet. Now I will and I hope it’s good.
There are some possibilities with uneven searches for sure. The major issue is that a search is so fast it doesn't leave a lot of room for overhead. For interpolation search, scheduling out bad cases sounds fine until you have a lot of them: then you have to search them one at a time, and the length's unpredictable, right? Grouping by search length doesn't really sound feasible: you'd have to store element index and value, as well as current search index, for each element that goes the long way.

The problem is this type of intelligence is hard to define or quantify. Its like asking the question " what is art and what is not art".

Data driven hiring practices require hard definitions. One of these hard definition of intelligence is IQ. IQ is very correlated with job success and also various other skill sets related to job success.

From the company perspective, successful hiring using a data driven scientific approach is the right call simply because its the best metric we have on intelligence.

Obviously their are aspects to intelligence that currently aren't quantified but is it wise for a company to bet their future on gut feelings that are subject to bias and aspects of intelligence not in the realm of science?

Unfortunately no.

I'm pretty sure the Google interview process is somewhat of a data driven process but I can't be sure. Are any googlers in the know? Are specific interview question and answer pairs measured and correlated with the success of the employee? Or is it all qualitative judgement?

IQ, I believe, is actually not legal to measure for an occupation. But we know that this is the metric that faangs are actually attempting to replicate.
> to yield optimal outcomes

Optimal for who? By whose measure? Your position seems to be based on an assumption that you know what's optimal for all of us, and that you're willing to impose that on others. Pardon my disagreement. "Rentier" capitalism also assumes that you can distinguish which economic activity contributes to society and which does not. What criteria or principles do you use to make that distinction? Honest question.

> corporations enjoy great legal protections by being able to operate within a wealthy and highly developed polity

It is the liberal economic policy that birthed the wealthy and highly developed polity, not the other way around. Corporations enjoy great legal protections because otherwise we would not benefit from their existence. And benefit tremendously we do. My whole point is that we should leave them well enough alone because we all reap incalculable wealth from their marketable innovations. We already have a golden goose, and you seem to be suggesting that we smother it with governance.

> executives have an outside impact on social norms and future policy

How would this impact be curtailed by a more stingy compensation package? Executives wield their influence via the corporations they control, not their private bank accounts.

> the company has earned its money but some of that money has been earned on the backs of writers

On the backs of writers who were compensated for their services at a rate agreed by both parties? Seems like a pretty fair deal to me. I don't see why anyone should be paid more than they can freely negotiate for their services from people who are interested in retaining them. In a free society, people are inescapably paid according to how expensive they are to hire, train, and replace. It's the same reason why writers are paid more than agricultural labourers, and executives are paid more than writers. If you can devise a scheme to hire 10 people at $10/hour and generate $1,000 in value, I'm having a hard time understanding why the remaining $900 isn't entirely yours. I see this sentiment a lot and honestly hope you'd be so kind as to explain the calculus here.
How could codified leave be reasonable? I’m not sure what you’re asking?
> I am struggling to see how the risk calculus tilts strongly against vaccination for college campuses. What are you saying?

Adolescents and young adults are at highest risk for complications from the vaccine, and at the same time at almost the lowest risk of a severe case, a reduction in the odds of which is the only benefit conferred by the vaccines.

> They should be a safe place for people even that are unable to get vaccinated due to medical issues.

Mandates have nothing to do with this, because the vaccines do not prevent transmission or confer any herd immunity benefit whatsoever.

> The risk of myocarditis is higher with a COVID infection than the vaccine.

I don't believe this is true, given that a massive population study in Israel in 2020 pre vaccines found no heightened risk of myocarditis (although it does seem clear COVID infection can raise risks of cardiac/vascular issues more generally). However, even granting that it was the case, the comparison is rather pointless because the risks are not mutually exclusive, but rather additive.

I think it is more like doing things from habit vs from first principles. Maybe they just learn how to do things once and then repeat them blindly. Not sure it’s a good test but I think that is the intent.
If a candidate assumes the hiring team is “competing to abuse them”, I’m happy with more or less anything that filters out people with that attitude.

Entitlement cuts both ways. Software development pays very well and largely has excellent working conditions, it’s basically a golden ticket. I know people who are essentially stuck in minimum or low wage jobs for life.

Great story! Thanks for sharing. I always wondered how a company might respond to such a big security flaw being shared with them out of the blue.
I'd volunteer to do it, if they paid for hardware, colo and transportation for initial install. After things settle down, it takes no more than half an hour or so every month.

Pretending to know how much work something is when it's not your area of expertise is a bit silly.

2 weeks straight? Sure.

2 weeks total over a year? Doesn’t seem unreasonable to me. I’ve never actually used that much sick leave myself, but I have it if I need it. Doesn’t seem crazy to me that everybody have the same benefit (or, we could just be reasonable and not actually have sick leave and just let people stay home).
“ Most Americans wouldn't want to pay that much extra even if they could afford to.”

And then they pay that extra through costs for imprisonment, homelessness and other stuff. And for healthcare the US pays almost twice as much per capita than other countries. It’s just dumb.
Also getting a doctors note while sick is hard if you’re feeling really unwell plus a doctors visit will cost you money if you don’t have insurance, and it will cost time too. For serios illness that requires a visit to the doctor is okay, probably not hard to obtain if already seeing a doctor.

Show HN: GPT4 on hacks to turn GitHub into a social network
come up with some potential git workflows that could be used to use github as a social network

gpt4:

GitHub was originally designed for code version control and collaboration on programming projects, but with a little bit of creativity, it could be repurposed to function like a social network. Here are a few ways you could structure a Git workflow to make this happen:

User profiles as repositories: Each user could create a repository for their profile. This would be where they can introduce themselves, describe their interests, post updates, etc. They could do this in the README file or create new files for more extensive content.

Following as Forking: To follow someone, you could "fork" their repository. This would create a copy of it under your own account, and any changes the original user makes to their repo would be viewable to you. It's a bit like subscribing to their updates.

Communicating via Pull Requests and Issues: You could communicate with others by opening issues on their repository or by submitting pull requests. This could be used to comment on their updates, propose changes or additions to their content, or start a conversation on a specific topic.

Group Chats as Collaborative Repositories: For group chats or discussions, a new repository could be created and all relevant users could be added as collaborators. Discussion could take place through issues or pull requests.

Likes/Reactions as Stars: GitHub allows users to star repositories, which could be repurposed as a way of "liking" someone's update or content.

Events as Commit and Release: Users can publish events by making a commit with event details, using markdown files for formatting, and creating a new release. This would notify all the followers of the repository.

Newsfeed as GitHub Actions: GitHub actions can be used to automate a newsfeed. This could compile updates from all forked repositories and push them to your own repository.

"it should be workable" sounds suspiciously hand-wavy and sounds particularly naïve about law.

EU and countries in the EU bloc are governed by completely different laws than the US (and the constituent states).

This particular regulator (CFPB) is considered illegitimate by most Republicans (the bureau leadership has more independence from the Executive Branch than they would like) and is still fighting decade-long court cases to continue to exist. It's not clear how much actual authority this bureau has to force companies to do anything.
Enjoy your time there -- a lot of people complain about it but I truly loved RIT. I hope they've maintained some of the feel of the campus among all the development which has happened... I can't believe that the Riverknoll apartments are apparently still in use!

The fungible benefit of money plus the freedom to take whatever time off you'd like without pay is more flexible than an assortment of non-fungible paid days off that are designated for very specific uses, with an employer getting up in your business to police your use of them.

Of course this relies on being paid enough to be able to forgo some earnings, and not being financialized so hard such that a paycheck has been spent before it's even earned. So it can't scale in popularity due to the economic feedback loop designed to keep real wages low, and the financial system primarily based on debt.
Also, humans are pretty horrible at driving. They constantly commit traffic violations and kill eachother. Driving kills about 1 in 103 people in their lifetime.

There is no other day to day activity where this level of risk is considered acceptable.
because in peering agreements it is convention to only charge for only ingress or egress, whichever one is bigger. Most AWS servers use more egress bandwidth than ingress bandwidth so AWS only charges for egress.
Right, and the mega backdoor you can fund yourself. So there’s not much point in cos juicing the match versus just paying people more, which big tech is not afraid to do.
Fellow RIT (‘08) alum. Same experience. I felt a bit advantaged being a computer-oriented chemistry major.

I never said any such thing. I said I’d pay that amount or more. And anybody with employer provided medical insurance is probably paying ten thousand or more into that already - with a national medical system, that money is “freed up” (probably to be taken as tax).

And between college loans and medical insurance, I probably pay close to that already. And on the medical side, I’d rather it went to a national program that didn’t tightly couple people to their employers.

This regulator statement is getting echoed in Reuters, AP News, WaPo, Yahoo Finance, CNN, CNet, Fox Business, CNBC, CBS News, Money, Business Insider, etc.

This is exactly how popular law changes are announced as well. Do you argue that citizens/people should not be bothered to know the law?

For better or worse, US regulation's first line of defense against harm/scams is public information campaigning. It's not clear that the CFPB has any authority to regulate PayPal, Venmo, CashApp, etc for their current business practices. The specific alert described in the article is about helping consumers know the legal / financial differences between these convenient apps and regulated banks.
I'm not sure why you're being so rude. Maybe you don't maintain or release your old games or software and you're offended. But in that case you're not making a strong argument for your position through veiled insults.

The rest of your argument is resting on the view that not maintaining or releasing legacy code is perfectly ok regardless of the circumstances, not arguing for it.

Your claim that people playing their old games for nostalgia would meaningfully cut into sales of new games is completely unfounded, and frankly absurd. If that's a real issue for you, then your new game probably just isn't as good. By the nature of the pace at which video games improve, newer games inherently appeal more to younger generations.

The idea that releasing code is so much work is mostly due to licencing quirks. If instead your licence was set up specifically to do this, you could even have it happen automatically.

And let me remind you that often the biggest developers are the ones who don't do this, and smaller ones are the ones who do.

As for your veiled insults, let me just say that I'm not sure what you think a "demand" is, but you might want to look it up.
