I've been thinking about this.. most programmers use frameworks/libraries, e.g. Spring/Hibernate in Java or React in JavaScript. Is there a way to train LLM to "specialize" in our frameworks/libraries of choice? I assume it would result in faster/smaller/more accurate result?
... they said, while wasting (in the true sense of the word, it would seem based on the quality of this comment) their time replying.

Maybe tone it down a bit and be nicer? Even if they have a poor education, why would you publicly shame them for it?
Why does it matter if we call it art or not?
No, they don't bring any social commentary, they only bring sycophancy. As soon as you criticize it you are moderated and silenced into oblivion. Your "social commentary" can only go in the way they demand that it go.
Open Source Initiative is not an authority here. We had this debate many many times. You may not agree with this point of view, but let's not make it as if yours is the universal one.
Because i'm curious to learn more from HN users :)
I don't think this is exactly new. For example the Add-ons website for Firefox already didn't allow any extensions to be run on it. It does seems this feature extends this list for new websites, but it doesn't mean Firefox will abuse (and even if they start abusing it, they have a explicit flag to opt-out).
I think this is clearly false for humans. I think it is unquestionable that kids do better when parents have actively involved grandparents in their lives. Raising a kid without a support network is overwhelming, and even more so in modern culture where so many kids are raised in single-parent homes. If you measure success of a lineage over time, having the grandparents die off before they get grandkids would have significant adverse effects.
If I sound like a "raving paranoid" while describing things that actually happened, I think that says more about our regulators than about me.

> I'm trying to assume good intent.

Only for the DPC. Which is weird tbh, given that you haven't pointed to a single effective uncorrupt regulator that might prove the counterfactual.

> you are making assumptions on my integrity that are completely beyond the bloody pale.

Not my intention.

G'luck!
Ask HN: Stripe Atlas after SVB fiasco?
I am looking to incorporate P2P cloud gaming startup ("Uber for gaming PCs"), and was considering Stripe Atlas, until I saw that their package used Silicon Valley Bank basically almost until the day they tanked.

Their new banking solution Mercury inspires even less confidence.

The issue is payments both to and from users are both critical for a project like this, and since HN-loved Stripe appears to have such a red flag on the first step, what do I even go with?

Loved wvdial in the late 90s and early 2000s.

Circa 2009-2010 I was surprised to see instructions to use it for tethering on the Nokia N900. I guess the cellular data was still using the old AT command set.
Yeah Linux will never last against Novell.
I think in the OPs example Twitter is the Windows of being Twitter. If you want to use a Twitter like social network, Twitter is still king. Facebook is massive but it will still need to capture mindshare to unseat Twitter.
Whether someone should get paid is based on how much value their work has, not the price. Open source sets the price.

It can be "on them" and also bad that it works this way.
If they separate and build it out sufficiently, it could look and feel like a different social space altogether.
Anyone here using ZFS in production these days? If so what OS and implementation? What have been your experiences or gotchas you experienced?
I am one of the few people who used the open source version and really liked it, and I'm disappointed by the changes.

The challenge I had with Sourcegraph is that it's out of reach of developers working on personal projects. There isn't a hosted plan, and for my projects I can't easily open source them due to my employer.

I was really excited when the Sourcegraph App was released, since it allowed me to give Sourcegraph a try on my project without going through the complex self-hosted setup. I went as far as getting scip-clang working with my Bazel-based project, and then tried out the docker-compose setup on my home lab.

Now that code search was removed from the app, and this change, I'm concerned that I won't be able to use Sourcegraph for my personal projects in the future.

This is a missed opportunity. I think individual developers using products for personal projects are powerful advocates, since those developers may convince their employer to purchase the product. If I could I'd gladly pay, but I'm just one person and can't justify $5k/year.
They could simply normalize the paths when parsing the configuration file. The overhead wouldn’t show up in benchmark because it only happens once at startup (and maybe when the conf file changes)

Affirmative Action and the Elephant in the Room
> My understanding is that Red Hat Enterprise Linux can be thought of as Fedora + stability + patches, and that the patches themselves should be released downstream as part of the GPL.

> What's now changed is that these patches are either (a) not distributed as required by the GPL, or (b) the patches are distributed, but in a way that is intentionally less useful, e.g. by having to get them via the Red Hat portal.

My understanding is a bit different:

Red Hat submits patches upstream and also back-ports those patches into existing RHEL releases that have long-term support.

The upstream patches are still as open as ever, nothing has changed.

The back-ports into existing RHEL releases are what Red Hat is trying to make harder for people to consume outside of a Red Hat subscription (the free developer subscription and the paid support contracts).

I'm not making a judgement either way in this comment, just trying to help clarify my understanding.

I like how the emphasis is on coders here because one of the article's headers of "Clear and Precise Conversations Are Key" is important.

I think this is why it will be a long time before the general masses will be able to take advantage of AI to solve general problems. Most people haven't built up a human skill level of being able to explain their problem in a clear way to another human.

Imagine if you have no other context about the problem below other than these 2 prompts. Both of them are describing the same problem which is related to entering in orders with a point of sale system. Assume that you're talking to a human doing phone support for the company that provided you the hardware:

- My orders aren't coming up at the register

- I have 2 devices to take orders, when I manually place orders into the one hanging on the wall (ID: "Wall") it doesn't show up in the list of orders at the register (ID: "Register") but when I manually place an order at the register it does sync up at the wall

The first prompt is typically what a non-technical business owner may say over the phone when trying to get support. The second prompt is what someone who has experience describing problems might say even if they have no experience with the hardware other than spending 2 minutes identifying what each device is and chatting with the business owner to understand the real root problem is one of the devices isn't pushing its orders to the other device.

The 2nd one could become more precise too, but the context here is you're speaking with another human who works for the company that provides you the hardware and service so there's a lot of information you can expect they have on hand which can be left unsaid. They also have various technical specs about each device since they know your account.

It would take many follow up questions from a human to get the same information if you only provided the first question. I wish a general AI tool good luck to extract that information out when the direct person with the problem can barely type on their phone and doesn't have a laptop or personal computer.
My argument here is clearly that several of these examples were not "good enough".

I'm less convinced that the marketing world's fundamentally changed in the ways you describe. I will admit that it has been strongly perturbed, but ultimately the same patterns which "Cluetrain" raged against have largely re-emerged. As they have over the history of modern advertising dating to the mid-19th century.

See Hamilton Holt's Commercialism and Journalism for insight into the emergence of modern advertising, albeit from a perspective of journalistic media, in 1909: <https://archive.org/details/commercialismjou00holtuoft/page/...>.

Adam Curtis's Century of the Self gives a longer-term perspective on the emergence of public relations, propaganda, and advertising over the 20th century: <https://archive.org/details/the-century-of-the-self-adam-cur...> (video).

One major theme in advertising since the 19th century has been "authenticity": immediacy and direct relation between advertiser and customer. "Cluetrain" was really only yet another instance of this IMO.

That's a completely ignorant statement. Hydrogen cars actually exist and work exactly as advertised. There are no fundamental challenges. This reads like one of those anti-BEV posts from a decade ago. In both cases, the author is totally oblivious to the current state of technology.

> It was never going to compete with electric. EVs have been slandered for so long that people just assumed we would come up with something better.

Hydrogen cars are EVs. This is a deep misunderstanding of the issue.

This is exactly why I'm pursuing programming. I hate it with a passion. I'm an artist at heart, so programming is a great fit because, not only does it pay much more than art, it's completely artless, so it won't ruin my desire for making art at the end of the day.
I think you are missing at least one important point. The reason the mechanic can’t work on the other brand of car is not knowledge or skill, but equipment. It costs money to buy the full suite of equipment required to correctly service a particular manufacturer’s vehicles. It often makes much more sense to specialize and make more use of fewer expensive tools than to have tools for everything and have only marginally more business.

Statistically speaking, assuming a normal distribution of intelligence, there is a specific percent where this generalization will start to apply.

Now, I don't know what is this percent, but let's give it a name: the ChatGPT percentile cut line.

My intuition says this line sits to the left of the median, so in a sense you are right, meaning that fewer than 50% of people have a measurable intelligence lower than this line.

However, it can also be higher than 5%, and this means many millions of people can be easily replaced by an automation tool, without any bad consequence.

You do not live in the same society as some of us.

Below is a story about how insisting that a fitness instructor look physically fit is unreasonable and sometimes illegal.

The icing on the cake is that her day job is said to have been in tech, in SF.

`` Jennifer Portnick, a 240-pound San Francisco aerobics instructor rejected by Jazzercise because of her size, has reached an agreement under which the firm will drop its requirement that instructors look fit.

After weeks of mediation with the San Francisco Human Rights Commission, Jazzercise Inc., the world's biggest dance-fitness organization, agreed to change company policy.

The case, which drew international attention, was the first to be settled under San Francisco's "fat and short" law, an ordinance barring discrimination on the basis of weight and height.

"I'm absolutely thrilled with this outcome," said Portnick, 38, a computer systems training manager who works out six days a week and has sufficient stamina to lead back-to-back aerobics classes.

"I'm lucky to live in San Francisco, where there's a law to protect people like me." ''

Just to make sure we're not talking past each other: OP wanted to test both "GitHub (and git)". OP could have tested the git portion locally.

But to engage you about the GitHub part: I believe that under the covers, GitHub is still using something substantially similar to git as the repo storage format. Git has no inherit limitations on number of commits. Eventually you run out of disk space, and possibly memory and/or CPU during repacking. You could turn off GC and let the repo remain unpacked. You might eventually run out of inodes. During cloning (and pulling), git implicitly creates pack files, so a clone/pull will also take a long time (CPU and or memory again) on an unpacked repo. This is why git periodically repacks.

If I had to guess, GitHub also has no inherit limits. Creating commits was probably periodically repacking on the git backend, consuming increasing amounts of resources.

I would be surprised if the GitHub API (the Ruby on Rails code) takes much resources at all.

Creating endless PRs is something you can simulate locally with two copies of a repo. You can use "git ls-remote" against a GitHub-hosted repo with PRs in it to see how it exposes PRs as references that are not normally cloned.

Regardless, I think that OP could and should have satisfied their curiosity about how git works locally, especially with respect to whether it has an inherent limits. And they could have satisfied their request about GitHub resource limits with a support request.

On the political scale, I am fairly to the libertarian (not religious) right, but personal ossification is bad regardless of its political flavor.

Moderate term limits (e.g. no more than 25 years in public offices in your lifetime) should certainly be at least tested.

Who demands final product for free?

The final product includes support; nobody is asking for that. There is no expectation for dedicated engineer time or solving their support cases. Nor is there any expectation of certifications or any other value-adds that RH provides.

Afaik the cloners demand the access to sources and patches to what is being shipped, which is their right. They are GPL, and not Redhat's for most part.
AFAIK, Red Hat doesn't dabble in any retail redistribution of RHEL that would work as you suggest. You can, I think, get a self-support 1-year subscription online with a credit card for about $350. You can also sign up for no-cost subscriptions. Either of those would be distribution, but also are subscriptions that provide access to binaries + source.

In any case: Red Hat giving you a copy of RHEL only entitles you to source for that version and not future (or past) versions.

So if you somehow receive RHEL 8.5.1 from Red Hat on media independent of a subscription, you have the right to receive the sources for GPL'ed software present in that release.

Not RHEL 8.5, not RHEL 8.5.2, etc. And, technically, you only have the right to source to GPL'ed software, so they don't have to give you source for Apache HTTPD or other permissively licensed software in RHEL.

An interesting wrinkle that I haven't seen addressed yet is whether Red Hat has to find a way to convey source to you after the subscription if you had access to download source during the subscription but didn't exercise it. It was there, you just didn't take it. If you want it later, do they have to ship you a DVD or something? I have no idea.
I'm with you on this.

I've even been told that my lack of a good answer to this question was the only negative mark on one of the interviews for a job that I eventually was hired for.

My honest answer is that I don't generally have conflicts at work. I get along with people and generally handle disagreements easily. I haven't worked in an environment that was rife with conflicts, maybe I'm just lucky or maybe my definition of conflict is different than others.
Ok, I agree with that. I think there should be more effort put towards infrastructure for people with disabilities too.
This is unfortunately true more often than not at least in my experience.
some form of interoperability is already happening for some of those data types (or at least starting with portability). See the Data Transfer Initiative (dti.org)

The issue is that forced interoperability will lead to platforms creating an interoperable (and less fully-featured) version of their app to suit the regulations.

I do think that interop is important, but I think it is a harder problem than most people think.

That's incredibly short sighted and disappointing. There is no place for cellphones in school. They're incredibly disruptive to classes and learning.

Banning cellphones in schools is very practical. You put them into the pouches they use at concerts. Pouches are opened at the end of the day.

If parents need to reach their kids they can do so easily. Call the school and ask for the kid.
When my tech lead decided we were going to move to GraphQL, one of the reasons I was told it was great was because it solves/avoids the n+1 problem.

Per the RHEL subscription agreement, you lose your subscription if you do any of this. Of course, whether they will choose to act on the letter of the contract or not is up to them, but the letter is clear.
