Hello HN! I started this project a few years ago when I was unfortunately rejected by Codecademy for a software engineering position for the 3rd time. I love coding, and I love helping others learn to code. In my spare time I volunteer at Justice Through Code (https://centerforjustice.columbia.edu/justicethroughcode), which helps previously incarcerated people re-enter the workforce. If you're passionate about helping others learn to code, it's a great program to check out.

Recently, I've added a chatGPT powered assistant to Codeamigo, to help learners when they get stuck. Someone in the ed-tech space once told me that over 95% of learners quit once they reach an error that they can't recover from. I hope that we can use AI to assist experts and learners alike.

If you're interested in trying out the demo: https://codeamigo.dev/v2/lesson/hello-codeamigo/step/intro
It almost is (i.e. snap/flatpak) in one already.

This is just user agent spoofing. You could already do that with the "Bing Chat for All Browsers" extension.
I'd put more faith in the claims of valuing spontaneous conversation and just walking down the hall if companies actually had full teams in a single physical location, where this would be possible.

I've been in the software industry (QA and dev) since 2000. Other than a short time with a startup, I have _never_ been on a team where everyone has been in the same state, never mind the same city.
That's what everyone thought about FTX too. "Why wouldn't they be legit, they're hanging out with members of Congress and obviously making a lot of money."
Can someone turn the lights on? I'm light theme everything, I want that thang to sear my retinas when I load the page.

About Codecademy: Has it changed there a lot recently? I had problems getting them to understand that I was not interested in the position a few years ago.
Thanks for clarifying.

> Having to take the lead and proactively arrange for social interactions is exhausting for me

This is definitely the case for me as well. I've set up regular meetings once, to avoid all kinds of discomfort that arise when doing so every time. Though, I understand that such arrangements may not flow as easy as in-person ones for everyone.
If they don’t respond…they’re not available.
I disagree. It's not a display. A display could be connected to other inputs and "display" the content of your choosing. This is a wearable computer ala Magic Leap. Another way to look at it is an iPad with a head-mounted screen and battery fanny pack.

The device runs iPad apps (only) and those apps must be customized to use the 3D space or they will run in 2D. Definitely not a display. A walled-garden computer.
Yes. So why is there so much confidence (in both directions) in this thread about the productivity impact of remote work? It seems people are just projecting their own biases or experiences as universalizable facts.
That feels like a _huge_ assumption. It would arguably be quite surprising just based on the prior history of ML-y stuff; there's a tendency for things to get 95% good enough quickly, and then never quite make it to 100% (because 100% is really a completely different sort of problem, arguably requiring AGI).

My favourite example of this: speech recognition. In the 90s this went quite quickly from a joke to a tech demo that required enormously expensive hardware to a tech demo that you could run on your laptop to actually marginally useful (you may remember Apple and particularly MS claiming that it was the future, and would soon be the primary way that people interacted with computers).

And then, well... like, voice recognition today is certainly better than Dragon Dictate was 25 years ago, but you probably still wouldn't want to trust it with anything important, and it's certainly far worse at it than a human is.

I'm struggling to think of _any_ ML-ish thing in the human-imitating space which has gotten all the way to virtually perfect/as good as human. Maybe OCR? Though even then, you still sometimes get odd results.
You're not understanding. The "correct" people have the majority numbers now, so we should embrace the tyranny of the majority.
Why make this comment without elaborating on the problem with term papers?
> It has nothing to do with “liberal” or “conservative”

OP was probably referring to liberal as in liberal arts (in comparison to hard sciences and/or professional degree tracks like engineering)
How are you measuring productivity?
The chance that LLMs won't be able to produce text in a certain style is extremely low.

What is true, is that by default ChatGPT doesn't produce the same style as academic papers, which seems unsurprising. You could also compare it to a 15 year old writing text messages and conclude that ChatGPT content is identifiable by that metric, which, again, seem unsurprising.
> I'm curious

My impression from you is that's rhetorical, not sincere. Is my impression correct?

If not, if you're really curious: Cuba's GDP is $107 bn, making it about x5 global green hydrogen.

(Edit: had previously said $250 bn, that's PPP not nominal)

> and yet somehow your conclusion that this is all imaginary

That's not what I said. I am denying it's "at scale" which is not at all synonymous with claiming "it's imaginary", it would have to grow by a factor of a thousand — three orders of magnitude — for me to say "Yay, finally! What took y'all so long?"
It's probably referring to acts carried out by youngsters in the banlieus (low income areas of France's big cities). Stuff like ambushing police and fire brigades for lolz, partaking in protests they care nothing about to just loot and burn, low/mid scale drug dealing etc.

Police has real problems dealing with these types cause there are so many of them together and they quickly scurry back in to their impenetrable tower blocks.
>natural attrition rate

Nobody will leave voluntarily now if they joined during the 2020-2022 hiring boom and they know are sitting on ludicrous compensations which they know they won't get anywhere else in the current economy. So unless they're stellar engineers with top offers in hand, they're more incentivized to sit tight until the market recovers instead of leave empty handed in these uncertain times.

Waiting for natural attrition now means the poor/mediocre ones who don't have better options will stay, and only your best will leave voluntarily, which is exactly what you don't want. Ideally you'd want to cut loose the dead weight holding you back and prop up your rockstars so they stay.
Well as someone whom had formal education taken from me at around 11-13 years I am not sure that I am better off having worked instead of going to school.

In fact when I look around at my peers surprisingly they're more prepared for the rigor of an advance education that is required for more intellectually interesting and rewarding work.

Meanwhile I'm left with back injuries for the rest of my life and lack easy access to non-physical labor work.

It's my understanding that passkeys that are created by platform authenticators or password managers can be backed up. That's how replicating your key through iCloud likely works. Hardware keys on the other hand don't support backups by design. You need to enroll multiple keys to have a backup.

> With passkeys, I'd need to set up and authenticate additional devices

This is true, if you don't use a platform authenticator or password manager and only use hardware keys.
Sigh, these articles are good, but at the same time someone will look at it and do stupid we gonna solve this right now kinda optimizations. Extensions are already behind a group icon, just do not tighten them up even more in stupid ways. It's already problematic, because average users doesn't even know how many extensions and what kind are installed. If you have an army of icons next to your url bar at least you know that something is there.

At the same time if you have an extension that shows some status via the pinned icon you have to guide them step by step.

If an extension doesn't steal your data, then leave them be. If you don't do your homework, well, then live with the "bloodsucker mosquito". We don't have to protect everyone from the real world at the expense of the many.
What gets me is that people think that China's business-political environment is a carbon copy of the US.

People think that because they understand how things work in the US, they understand how things work in China. That because in the US businesses have functional constitutionally granted protections from government overreach, that China functional constitutionally granted protections from government overreach.

Which is completely not the case. China is essentially a dictatorship. With one leader of one party that dominates everything, kangaroo courts and disappearing family, the works.
Yes. I read it years ago and found it interesting, but re-reading it recently was a different experience. It made me reflect on what we used to think about AI, the similarities and differences to the AI systems we actually have ended up with currently, and what the trajectory in our world is actually going to look like.
Could you please cite where Thomas Drake used them? From my quick research it appears he went to the press.
Well according to some people on HN, it's all good and dandy. China is no worse than the US is the latest version of moral relativism we have to deal with. So if they have your data, it's all okay.
According to [0], humans exhale about 11.0L of CO2 per hour at night. 02 in, CO2 out, so we can get mols of gas with ideal gas law and mass loss with molecular weight of carbon. If I did my math right, it comes out to 53.9g over 8 hours of sleep (if you can get that much ). (Americans: 0.118 lb/night). Not quite a quarter pound but maybe closer than you thought!

Consider that any such detector or even method that is made available becomes a tool to finetune models to evade.

Alternatively "spinning" tools to create slightly modified content (for black hat SEO, to avoid duplicate detection) has been a thing for years, and you can bet tools that'll take model output and apply small models to them to mutate their wording without corrupting meaning will be a big market and will see evading AI detectors as part of their feature set.

It's an unwinnable battle, that just produces competitive pressure towards focusing on making AI's write more like humans.
> Today's developers didn't learn binary before learning Python, why should you learn how to code without the most modern tools?

This phrasing makes me wary. There's a difference between being self-taught, and not even bothering to teach yourself the absolute fundamentals of computing, like binary...
As I said, Finland is one of the worst locations for renewables. There, nuclear remains at least within spitting distance of being competitive.

But as I also said elsewhere in these comments, this just means Finland (and other nearby countries at high latitude and without good wind resources) will become energy ghettos. They will lose their energy intensive industries. You will not be able to compete in such industries with countries where solar seasonality is low and insolation is very high. This means your energy consumption per capita will be depressed. Can a nuclear industry survive powering a handful of such disadvantaged countries? Maybe they'll just import energy from elsewhere (hydrogen can be piped like natural gas; while it has less energy per unit volume it also has considerably lower viscosity, reducing pumping costs.)

Sorry, that's not correct. "U.S. government officials have disputed criticisms of PRISM in the Guardian and Washington Post articles and have defended the program, asserting that it cannot be used on domestic targets without a warrant."

I would prefer not wanting to read code like english. You most certainly don't want o replace common math operators with plus/minus
`c = a + b` is preferrable over `c is a plus b`. The second one is harder to parse and understand.

When writing code you are pattern matching and certain special symbols such as `()` over `None` and `attrs.clone().into_object()` over `clone attrs as object` are just faster to detect at an instance.

Using more english prose becomes a word salad that is harder to parse than using special symbols which convey meaning. Certainly more familiarity with a programming language and it's syntax elements will help you your pattern matching mechanism and allows you to understand code faster. In my opinion Smalltalk gets it quite well in this regard.

I also would rather prefer lisp language syntax, or apl.
The set of people I may have to work closely with is in the dozens. I certainly didn't meet all of them during interviews or even ask to arrange it. Statistically I'm just not going to like every single one of them on a personal level, even though we can work together professionally.
I've got a car for the same reason. My car broke down last July and I wasn't able to get a replacement until December. I rode my bike around, used ride share, got rides from friends and rented a car for one longer trip.

I only drive it a few hundred miles a month, so owning it is really expensive given that it's a $1000+ payment each month. I don't NEED it, but doing some of the outdoor activities I enjoy is difficult without a car.

For example, I enjoy paragliding. The closest site is about a 20 mile drive from here. Decisions on whether or not to fly are often last minute, so I wouldn't want to rent a car the day before because chance to fly is often 50-50. It's not feasible to rent a car a couple hours before I want to leave that day.
> I’m yet to experience a company that when faced with data that says there’s been huge growth in compensation year on year go through and give everyone big pay rises.

I have actually had a former employer do this once. I think it worked out best for those with 2-3 years of experience, some of whom got 20-25% pay rises, while those with 0 years of experience were closer to hire date and hence what the company considered market rate, while those with more experience were better at negotiating raises on an ongoing basis.
It's an assertion. With power becoming cheaper and cheaper, incentive to invest in innovation gradually tapers off, and a technology becomes stable and mature.

Another aspect within the power industry, as renewable production becomes less and less of a bottleneck and other problems such as grid management and storage become the key challenge to being able to enjoy stable power, investment will be redirected to these aspects of providing electricity. In Europe, we see countries reaching half their production in renewables, and already this creates challenges on the current electricity market structure.

10 years from now, at the current pace, pioneering countries will be past the point where production is the problem they need to solve. Countries coming after them will still drive some innovation, sure. We may also see faster-than-expected electrification.

So in this horizon, hockeystick predictions might still hold. But the combination of these mechanism basically defeats the prospect of power becoming "too cheap to meter", or dirt-cheap.
I meant the ability to offer desktop notifications. The browsers should just deprecate that.
I'm not familiar with the history of ASHRAE but it seems like the older versions were well below a 4+ air change rate, in addition to other serious issues[1]. The the most stringent spec as of 1999 for a 1000ft2 classroom with 30 people had a required supply airflow of 450 cfm which gives you only a theoretical 2.7 ACH assuming 10ft ceilings and perfect air distribution.

The CDC targets are just a suggestion at this point but they are likely just the first step in retrofitting existing buildings.

Still haven't explained your time traveler there but "sure".
The best part is that this is already how grades are weighted at any accredited school.
The point is of course not whether the national vote would happen to agree with what the puerto Ricans would want, but the fact the whatever they want (which may or may not be statehood, don't forget a lot of people there are against statehood) would be drowned out by the rest of the country, and despite being ostensibly democratic, that doesn't mean it (nation vote) is the best solution.
I was about to suggest dark reader, which has a "Light mode". But it turns out that this website has poor colour contrast and most words just "disappear" with both dark or light mode.
Then it would have to compete with OpenAI's solution, which is no easy feat. I'd be interested in hearing more about this alternative, though.
People tend to reject it because it makes negative economic sense for a country with a powerful currency to allow the replacement of that currency, so they won’t.

Becoming the next Greece cannot save you.
> I don't hire people who can't type, but most people never learned.

Do you require formal touch typing explicitly, or a certain minimum wpm (how fast?), or both? Do you include iportant charcters (for coding) in the test?
Totally, but not all planes out there must be like that. Just a handful of flatrates would be enough to get them full on a permanent basis. I could be wrong though, but there must be a golden mean in which the flight is both profitable for a company and more-or-less affordable and comfortable for the customers.
It might seem as if the modern STEM crowd discounts psychology as nearly pseudoscience, perhaps only necessary as a workaround until they figure out how exactly those atoms cause our consciousness (at best; those who demote consciousness to the level of illusion would probably not grant even that).

They forget that their “hard” natural sciences offer no proof of consciousness being caused by neurons and atoms, or them being somehow more “objectively real” than consciousness; indeed, this is not even a question physics et al. would have in their scope.

If you think about it, your mind is the only thing you have direct unmediated access to—and in any science, even physics, it is always at the beginning and the end of any discovery: once you remove the intermediate steps, all discoveries and all their real-world applications and implications ultimately concern the state of human mind. However, shiny gains offered by physics and respective technological advances can be blinding enough that we forget what’s fundamental.

"Ukrainian children are separated from their families"

Really? Would you leave an orphan in the war zone or move them to a safe place? Calling that a 'genocide' is cynical distortion and serves only Ukrainian propaganda.

"Adult Ukrainians have reportedly also been deported "

"Reportedly"?

"and made to live as Russians"

What does it even mean? Drinking vodka and playing balalaika?

"There's plenty of talk in the Russian media that all Ukrainians believe Ukrainian is a valid ethnicity should be killed."

"Plenty"? I don't know what you are talking about but just go to Ukrainian segment of Facebook, which allowed hate speech against Russians, and tons of genocidal fantasies.

I suspect your comment will be removed by mods but I wanted to take a shot at replying anyways.

I'm not sure psychologists are the drivers of that.

Psychologists perhaps to a fault hate medications and other external influences on a body. Just look at their fervent anti-antidepresssnt pushes and opposition to antipsychotics.

It's true that supportive psychological therapies are taking over and even contaminating CBT to the point it can feel like professional gaslighting.

We're a small step right now from the police getting access to genetic databases like 23andMe, so if anyone in your family tree has gotten a genetic test it may be possible for them to identify you based on ancestry.
SBOMs are typically managed in UI tools like Dependency Track. While providing a nice UI, these tools require additional infrastructure and are far removed from the development process. The last thing your DevOps team needs is another external tool that it needs to manage and integrate with its CICD practices.

Enter bogrod.

* enable your DevOps team to manage SBOM where it originates: with the code

* track SBOM and your VEX analysis using established git practices

* analyze vulnerabilities and update VEX analysis from the console or in your favorite IDE

* easily reuse VEX analysis across multiple images
I'm from Boston and there's really just one area (Mass and Cass) with a serious homeless and drug problem. Our downtown is safe and clean. I'm not sure what SF is doing differently, but it's clearly not enough.
That's what I mean.

I'll take "deadlock" or "tyranny" as exaggerations for emphasis.

"Tyranny" isn't more or less likely with multi-party. In recent times, a lot of democracies have move to increasingly smaller large parties. But historically, a lot of parliaments have had parties with >51% or parliament... equivalent to having house+senate+presidency, with less opportunity for defection... and mostly under weaker supreme courts.

"Deadlock" works differently in parliamentary systems but... generally tend to be more deadlocked. That's why parliamentary systems often have so many early elections. Deadlock is (assumed to be) absolute. This is way more common where small parties predominate.

Im not arguing that either is better, just that patterns emerge and repeat under all the electoral systems currently used. Transferable votes, multi-stage elections, regional electorates, proportional, vote-for-party, vote-for-candidate, etc. None seem particularly "better" for producing outcomes.

Party political patterns conform to whatever habitat they exist in.
Interesting that a simple model and hand crafted features would perform this well
Learning binary and knowing what binary is are two separate things. I don't think you need to learn binary to learn to code. Been doing this for 25 years working at some big name companies, I don't know binary other than 1 is on, 0 is off.

I'm starting to feel like this whole notion that newbies can't come in and learn say React or modern JavaScript without having to go all the way back to that day in 1995 when they were hashing out the std lib for JavaScript and learn every thing about it before that "Hello World!" in React starts is becoming a gatekeeping method.
