What is a "Python developer helper app"?

To deploy dev/test AWS resources, the devs have to hit a bunch of different cloud and internal sites. It's a lot of annoying and slow clicks+waits that I wanted to streamline for them. It's also full of risk because you have to copy values from one place to another, often changing them a little first.

By "standard layered" arch, do you mean model/view/controller? If so, I can read up some more on that. (I'm devops, mostly focused on terraform, and I'm trying to move away from writing bash scripts to Python)

EDIT: thank you for your answer, it's helpful to me.

> The gap with GPT-4 is not that big...

Oh it is though. I've tried several OS models and nothing comes even close to GPT-4. Turns out ClosedAI has a moat after all.
Yes, that's a common answer.

One issue is that it lets go of benevolence. Which works but raises the question of why we'd want to worship such an entity, and what does morality even mean anymore if it's supposedly based on an entity whose reasoning is inscrutable.

There's also that power removes excuses. Eg, Christof resorts to methods like "killing" Truman's father because it's all he can do to maintain the illusion. But if Christof had a whole planet to work with that'd instantly stop being a morally grey thing and just be plain evil. An actual god effectively has no excuses, because there are no limits forcing any kind of compromise.
That is correct, it is ‘user6723’ who is talking about that and I was responding to that user. But nevertheless the blog appears to be by someone who doesn’t have much of a clue regarding the subject matter, the arguments are rather confused and nonsensical.
Agreed. 9/10 times you don't need this abstraction just yet. But you can write code in such a way that it's easy to abstract, if such need arises.

Well, s/Electron/WebUI generally, the conclusion that I came to last year was beyond Qt there really isn't a decent cross platform UI toolkit out there that really handles all the nitty gritty details like accessibility, proper GPU acceleration, etc. And Qt comes with its own normative lifestyle assumptions. And there is this huge community of HTML/JS/TypeScript developers and a pile of UI frameworks for them.

So if you're looking to build a cross platform desktop application, you want to also be able to service it on web, and you want to be able to hire beyond the limited Qt/C++ talent pool, it just makes sense.
Yeah, that's pretty close. It might be more precise to say they trained one big model that includes 8 "expert networks" and a mechanism to route between them, since everything is trained together.

There isn't a lot of public interpretability work on mixture-of-expert transformer models, but I'd suspect the way they specialize in tasks is going to be pretty alien to us. I would be surprised if we find that one of the expert networks is used for math, another for programming, another for poetry etc. It's more likely we'll see a lot of overlap between the networks going off of Anthropic's work on superposition [1], but who really knows?

There's a weird tendency to lump together C and C++ into "C/C++", as though it was the same language.

It’s about as weird as writing “HTML/CSS/JS”, or “Java/Kotlin”. Like it or not people write related languages and technologies that way.

Makes about as much sense as Java/Javascript at this point.

Do you know what “ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22/WG21/SG22” is? It’s the C and C++ Compatibility Study Group for ISO C++. For instance the only reason C++20 added designated initializers was for improving C compatibility.

Stop pretending C and C++ have nothing to do with each other. Using “C/C++” is fine.
I've done that kind of by mistake, in that I wrote some UI screens and saw how to hook them together. But learning Textual, some Python, and object oriented Python all at once was difficult for me.

This is not true either. As the submarine commander interviewed lays out, the testing is done by actual dives, and there is a certification body for it. Almost every other deep sea exploration submarine is certified. However, getting certified is voluntary.

Of course, certifying it just means that independent experts take a look at the design and use sensors during dives. All of these vehicles are experimental. But not even trying is negligent.

An attempt is being made to reduce everything to:

interface UniversalInterface {
fun open(…)
fun read(…)
fun write(…)
fun close(…)
}

If you went to a software engineering design review meeting, proposing that several different kinds of objects representing everything from files, network sockets, to arbitrary devices should all use the interface above, you’d be laughed out of the room.

Ultimately, when someone does end up implementing something like the above as the sole interface for some major component, it’ll result in libraries that return a wrapping object with a more useable and pleasing interface that abstracts away the ugliness of using UniversalInterface to interact with said component.

I see two ways forward with this. Either: (a) present the option of using UniversalInterface to interact with X object, in addition to interface that’s much more idiomatic and closer to how X object actually behaves.

Or, (b) come up with an alternative universal (or flexible) object interaction interface that’s much more flexible than UniversalInterface.

Show HN: Open-source framework to build, manage and run Autonomous Agents
Running ‘configure && make && make install’ is hardly a technical skill. Acquiring binaries built elsewhere is fine and saying someone doesn’t qualify if they do that is gatekeeping.
Agreed. I'm using Idea for Scala development, but Scala support seems to get worse every year. The new features that each update brings I don't need, all that happens is that Idea gets more and more bloated.
I felt the same way about Tom Cruise until I saw Collateral, which quickly become my favorite movies of his and possibly one of my favorite movies of all time.
Ask HN: OpenAI does have a moat. Why do people think it doesn't?
I have yet to see any model (close or open source) to get even close to GPT-4. OS models can at best be near GPT-3. Bard is a joke. PaLM and PaLM 2 are not as powerful as Google advertises them to be. Claude is terrible at coding.

OpenAI seems to be doing something special w/ GPT-4, like a secret sauce. It seems like they do have a moat after all. Why do people keep saying it doesn't?

On top of that, OpenAI has been pushing certain standards in the industry, like the <system>, ... (ChatML), funcs, plugins, etc.

I'm not sure what the meaning of "I believe god exists and he has a plan" is, if the plan is beyond our understanding. What do people actually believe? Sure, the words will be "I believe in god", but what are the consequences of this belief?

If anything can happen inside this incomprehensible plan, what is different from there being no plan? If you don't believe anything concrete about the plan, if there is nothing that is impossible because it would be against the plan, then isn't everything just as it would be if there was no plan and no god?
The church had the same complaints when the printing press undermined their monopoly on Truth. However, it's now clear that the technology gave rise to the renaissance, and the greatest discovery and propagation of truth that humanity has ever seen.
The important part of any best practices guide is the “why”. Those “best” practices should be aiming to solve some problem(s), and it should state which one(s). If someone finds themselves with the same problem, they can leverage those solutions.
We don't need AI for that, people believe all kinds of crap and honestly sometimes rightly so because goverments all over the world have become really unrealiable in the information they give out. As an example of this, my goverment just recently updated the recommended food intake because they want to lower our emissions. Perhaps the goal itself is nice but that shouldn't imo have any effect on whatever foods are healthy or not for you. The result is that their food recommendations cannot be trusted anymore and you start doubting if other communication from the same authority can be trusted?

The problem with many AI shops is that they are already biased which has been shown on many occations so I believe many will not trust in their AI-companion. GPS data doesn't try to shove some political opinion down your throat and it has historically worked very well over many years so that is the reason why everyone trusts it.

I feel uncomfortable when people like this movie, as if someone discovered my secret pleasure.

When this movie premiered it felt like an epiphany, a revelation, but almost everyone I knew hated it. Jim Carrey fans didn't like because it wasn't slapstick enough. High brown movies fans didn't like because it had Jim Carrey on it.

But it became one of my dearest "cult" movies. There is so much on it: mass manipulation, lies, religion, politics, the whole stupidity of reality TV, the fake happiness of consumerism, the lack of any authenticity in mass media, ...

I hope it doesn't become like Monty Python's "The Holly Grail": a brilliant movie that gets reduced to a collection of quotations and clichés.

> Michael Graziano, a professor of psychology and neuroscience at Princeton University, says he thinks AI could create a “post-truth world.” He says it will likely make it significantly easier to convince people of false narratives, which will be disruptive in many ways

Significantly easier? I would have thought that it would get harder to convince people of anything.
Carrey was absolutely amazing as Count Olaf in A Series of Unfortunate Events. Sure it was just a kids movie, but there was something really sinister in his performance. Really amplified the sense of true powerlessness that the kids had in their lives, what a terrifying world to live in as a child.

I think Carrey is seriously underrated as an actor.
> Do you mean it's not uncommon for Americans to drive all day to go camping on memorial day weekend or something

This, for sure.

Those of us who live in the midwest are often hours of boring highway driving aware from anything, so a long weekend trip does require getting where we're going as quickly as reasonably possible.

Being stuck behind some nitwit who insists on pacing the semi truck next to them at 60 MPH rather than doing the 80+ everyone else on the highway wants to go is incredibly annoying.

The thread model is that maintainers of popular extensions get offers of several thousand $ all the time to pass over ownership. And there have been several incidents in which the new owners added trackers to the extension itself, tracking the user across all domains.

These extensions usually have full access to the DOM, so they can do everything they want to.

So their question is very much warrented: installing as new extension should always be well considered.
Most "best practices" are pretty flawed. The only one I found reasonable were some principles applied at NASA which mainly can be summed up as: be paranoid, limit the scope of variables, don't malloc like crazy and assert absolutely everything.

I don't think we're mentally ready for social media, even.

What something like Twitter can inflict on a person when it goes wrong is absolutely unprecedented, and we still haven't adapted to it.

Think that for instance going to the cinema, watching a movie, walking out and venting to a friend "Boy, this one sucked. $ACTOR_NAME did a really bad job with this one" is a perfectly normal thing to do.

But move that to Twitter and it can become part of a years-long torrent of hate highly visible to that single person. Even if what you think you're doing is communicating with your 10 friends. A retweet, a hashtag, or just the algorithm can magically make your comment part of an online mob.

Benzene, C6H6 and Zyklon B (aka HCN) are very different chemicals and I'm not advocating HCN as a delousing agent. The difference is that the body copes with small amounts of HCN very well as small amounts can be naturally found in food whereas C6H6, an aromatic hydrocarbon, isn't. C6H6 does damage in an altogether different way and its effects are cumulative.

Incidentally, as I've mentioned in an earlier post I've always been very careful to avoid exposing myself to C6H6, but less so to HCN. I used to use HCN in photographic processing and as I mentioned once before on HN I was affected by its fumes—and I'm still here to mention the fact (but I'm not for a moment suggesting that people be lax when using the stuff).

For all the comments about ioctl and APIs...

There isn't a lot of options when it comes to the basic interface to an API. You have functions and their arguments. They can be strongly typed like most random syscalls or generic like ioctl or some microkernels. io_uring's API is not so nice in the sense it is very generic on the surface and typing is handled in the data structure rather than signature so it needs wrapping for any language level typing support. And that that point, besides some internal details, what separates ioctl from io_uring? Could I not send similar data to ioctl and have it act similarly? At the end of the day it is just a way to shuffle data to and from the kernel. How the kernel acts on that is what matters.

On the other hand, seeking prestige at the expense of personal satisfaction, say, by conducting research in an "interesting" or "important" area, may be seen as an altruistic means of furthering progress in that field, and seeking personal fulfillment through the knowledge that one is helping others may be seen as a form of self-indulgence.
I can't recall seeing trademark aggression that had anything to do with genericism though. Some marketing copy maybe but not as challenges to other company's marks.

Genericism is within the user/audience/market rather than other businesses. The cause of genericism is total cultural domination - such widespread success that it becomes the noun. I wonder how close "iPhone" and "iPad" might be to genericide.

Is there a test for it? If you put an Android Tablet on a table and asked a test subject to pass you the iPad, I think we can predict the overwhelming outcome.
