For me that's the opposite.

Long flights are usually more expensive and require more advance booking. If you miss the transfer after the long flight, there are usually plenty of alternatives to get to your final destination.

Commuter trains are different because they usually don't require booking in advance. And in this case, I think I prefer origin transfers, because if there is a big problem, I would just go back home and take a day off, work remote, take the car, ...
I guess it has mostly to do with the fact that once legal gets involved, even at Google scale it makes sense to just take a look and see that, yes, of course, it was just another case of someone sabotaging someone else and the system being to dumb to catch it, lets fix it before we have to show up in court.

On a side note: GDPR demands that companies provide a way to get a manual review for decisions made by machines.
Assembly is so far from the original code written today that it is not even feasible to think about. That being said, imagine how fast everything would be if the companies developing the software would actually care about performance.

For like 99% of websites and software today, if anyone cared about the app performance, I am pretty sure most would be able to achieve at least 50% speed-ups through very basic changes (correct caching, optimizing assets, replacing bloated 3rd party libraries with a basic native call that does the same thing, configuring the servers and databases properly, etc.).

EDIT: That being said, I am pretty sure in a few years AI would be able to provide one-click optimizations to a repository that would either apply best-practices or rewrite the original code in performant Assembly.
What I've noticed is that interest in ChatGPT is spotty. Within any given discipline, some people are excited, and are using it. Others are ambivalent. I don't think either group of people are getting more stuff done, discovering more useful things, etc.

I don't think this is unusual. Adoption of iPhones and GUI-based computers was that way too. People who had those things were by definition more active on them, but not necessarily getting more done.

There could be some self selection going on here. Someone who was really fluent at the old way might not see such a boon from the new way.

I confess to being among the ambivalent, but I see it being used around me, chatted with people about it etc., so I'm not ignorant about it.
Fuck me. No permission window? Just like that, email --> scan barcode --> login?

Ruby is very cool as an easier, shinier, more ergonomic and elegant Perl but the lack of block-based lexical scoping with compile time checking (use strict + my, duplicated as "use strict" and let in ES6, much to my happiness when using javascript) and the fact that while Ruby's core OO is much easier to use than bless() it's horrifyingly limited when you're used to Moose/Moo means I've always bounced off it when I've tried to learn.

Perl's sheer flexibility means there's a gulf between baby perl and good complex perl during which the developer doing the learning tends to make a complete mess (I definitely did this for a while) and some people never get past that stage so a lot of pre-existing perl code is awful and much though I love perl myself the language is definitely at least partially to blame.

There are a lot of businesses for which life would be much harder choosing not to use their services, and more services are digitised each year. Gov online services, essential utilities (water, gas etc), mobile phone providers, private health and so on.

It’s not as simple as “don’t use them”
This is conjecture, but I don't think it's a long shot: The rich are going to pay them to manipulate responses, exactly like happened with google. Whether it's ads or political influence, with the current state of wealth those who deep down only want to make money (and OpenAI has shown their colors, in my opinion) need to look upwards for those cash injections, not towards their consumers.

Right now they are producing value for consumers, in order to attract investors. Investors will want a return: the product will be the consumers.
Yep. You probably shouldn't write rocket software using Brainfuck or Java, but for entirely different(functionality) reasons.
I get the analogy, but banking without cash is pretty convenient. I mean, I don't even have to carry a wallet around if I don't want to (my cards are on my phone). I can send money anywhere in minutes, I can pay online, or over the phone and everything is pretty secure (and insured).

I'm sure there's some niche edge cases I'm missing, but where the 'post cash'/bank cards world has real advantages, how would cryptocurrency improve any normal persons day to day? I see no real advantage, it all seems more "you could also do this with crypto" - except maybe not as well/fast/cheaply/securely?

FWIW I don't hate crypto at all, I just can't see it becoming 'the thing'. AI I can definitely see having a place (already). I find ChatGPT insanely useful for some things.
All Musk managed was replacing the gap dimensions between body panels with the funtionality of the entertainment software as one of the most useless measures of car quality. But what can I say, percieved quality (!) was a measure in cars since forever.

That so, Tesla did really good. Added benefit: Software is nothing traditional automotove excels, while build quality is nothing Tesla excels in. So, the now managed to make Teslas weakness irrelevant while highliting everyones elses weakness.
Likewise, in C#, almost everything is written in pure C#.

It also gives you more control over memory allocations than Java, which is nice when trying to squeeze more performance out of the code.

It's just pointer bumping (still). If you're continously using new memory then soft page faults and finding physical backing via kernel will dominate. mallocsen want to avoid this scenario, so you often see malloc using more memory than necessary.

Anyway, don't use new in C++ is my opinion.

Mojo seems like a very promising solution, despite it being AI oriented. Lex Friedman had a great podcast with the founder, its first version was released about a month ago, and in two weeks got 10k discord users.

A superset of python that, once finished, can run all native python code, but also adds language features to get closer to the “metal”, getting speeds of C libraries with the ability to properly debug and step through it.

If this project goes the way it’s promised (the guy has great experience with language development), this could further cement python as it would solve its biggest criticisms. Very excited for it

You have to go back a whole lot further if you're making an analogy between chatGPT and spreadsheets. Back to Ada Lovelace, probably. VisiCalc did already useful and already transformative, the only things missing was better user experience and adoption. ChatGPT is a nice thought provoking toy, but not really useful other than as a novel search engine interface.
I agree, and people's unwillingness to pay for the things they value causes the thing to no longer be 'for' them. It's for those who are willing to pay for it (investors).

I think there’s a meaningful difference between sota LLM tech and crypto. I’ve not yet seen a real problem which was better solved by crypto beyond just being not official money.

I’ve already used the openai api to automate several genuinely difficult things for myself. Mostly acting as a translator from natural language to structured output.

I do agree it is massively overhyped and there will be an inevitable sentiment correction.
It's hard to name them I suppose. They're more than just UI tests because there's usually a decent amount of logic in the frontend apps I build (significantly more than just driving the UI), so I call them end-to-end or integration tests.
Honestly, zealots in general get exhausting quick, especially when they can't acknowledge the faults or limitations of the god/God they serve
Yes we are and nearly everyone is convinced it'll change the world, but they're simply guessing. None of us know how this will, or won't play out.

Personally? I think we're sleep walking into social disaster and this tech is only going to make people's lives more difficult.
What do you mean? They already work.

I live in Texas and got a “smart” thermostat recently. I was delighted to find that my energy company is offering a $25/year credit for having one. It’s not much, but it’s nice to have.

…or so I thought. It turns out that accepting this $25/yr alllows the grid to remotely control my thermostat.

I was sweating in my living room, wondering why it felt so hot. Apparently the grid was facing peak load, so they raised my thermostat temperature by 2 degrees!

Thankfully there is a manual override when this happens, but I have to call my energy company to disable this “feature” completely.

I’m sorry, you cannot pay me $25/yr to sweat on my sofa.

This is the first time I've heard the term "jagged arrays." Is this common parlance and I'm just a hermit?
Yes and: Cybertruck scratches the same itch as a Subaru Brat or PT Cruiser. Some customers prefer something funky.
> AI looks to be great for ideation and development.

Agreed. I don't see this current version of AI as a calculator, but as an adaptable companion to work ideas with. The calculator side will continue to get better, but there's already so much value in the ideation side. Obvious is augmenting writing. The other I have found is in planning. If we expand to images, there's things like Firefly.

Getting an email just right is so much easier/faster now. It's increased my productivity from that one thing alone. Coding is also very helpful, and while not always 100%, it presents ideas which then I can use to get to the solution.

This is the first time I've seen a fairly straight line to a Star Trek like computer assistant at some point in the future.

The official citation links provided on the articles give you something like "so and so, from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia".

That has to be sufficient. No way is anyone expected to credit the possibly thousands of pseudonyms, IP addresses, and automated bots that have ever touched an article.
It's not really "off-guard" when they were warned about exactly that issue in a federal report in... 2011 https://www.ferc.gov/sites/default/files/2020-04/08-16-11-re... and still have not followed the recommendations. That does not count as a curve ball for me. Especially when the report about 2011 says:

> Despite the recommendations issued by the PUCT in its report on the 1989
event, the majority of the problems generators experienced in 2011 resulted from failures of the very same type of equipment that failed in the earlier event. And in many cases, these failures were experienced by the same generators

There are also multiple definitions of "data-driven" floating around depending on qualifier/context. An OLAP RDBMS, for example, will certainly be written in a data-oriented way, and also have almost fully data-driven behavior, but will certainly not have data-driven (in the sense of that paper) design.

There was a fun example from a history lecturer a while back. Did you know that the Romans developed special anti-elephant crossbows to fight Hannibal? Because ChatGPT knows that. I think people who rely on this sort of thing for essay writing may be in for a rude awakening, especially when they have to write a thesis.
It all depends on what kind of EV you have. Top of the line Model S has 400 miles of range and add to that supercharging. You will be able to drive almost as quickly as with an ICE car - you loose like 20 minutes on 620 miles.
The limiting factor then becomes the driver of the car - rest stops, food and so on.

Here's the course list for Cambridge for 2019-2020: https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/teaching/1920/cst/

Yes, there are courses on Java and C/C++ (and also LATEX, MATLAB and Prolog!), but these are a few out of 60 courses in total, which include things like algorithms, information theory, distributed systems and optimizing compilers.

...although maybe Cambridge isn't a "standard" CS degree?
Applications Vs Sourcing: What's the best way to make hires?
It is not about backups but about transferability of content and identity
At a previous F100 company -- a tech company whose products are widely used, we'll say -- we received guidance that RDBMS was verboten except with explicit approval. This had nothing to do with the best ways to model a given dataset, or achieving the best performance, and everything to do with schema flexibility and a history of outages caused by fucking up schema migrations. These problems weren't occurring in our NoSQL designs, and whatever benefits SQL databases offered didn't counter the huge benefits we gained from NoSQL's lack of rigid schema.

Of course, bad uses of key-value stores can have massive performance impacts, and huge monetary costs when leveraging cloud platforms like DynamoDB -- I've seen a lot of cases where people didn't properly structure their data for DDB, and ended up performing loads of scans and sending costs through the roof.
Also, I am fairly sure, they got the right to collect a ton of usage and personal data for those 25 bucks.
I studied literature, and used to be able to find the most obscure tip-of-my-tongue references by describing fragments I remembered of a text or paper.

Same result: Now it's nothing, or unrelated SEO.
Why obviously? It might as well be a passing fad, and all those uses oof ChatGPT might turn out to be a temporary amusement rather than real and lasting improvement of people's workflows. It's interesting how something comes out, and then all of a sudden so many people are immediately absolutely certain that it will have a massive impact at many levels, even before we've seen any meaningful ROI. To me it is a bit absurd and somewhat annoying. Of course, the tech is cool, it does have some amazing uses, but to forecast growth to trillions of dollars over the next few years and massive job losses seems premature and fuelled by relentless promotion, not only by the likes of OpenAI, but also by all the investment-hungry tech businesses - large and small.
If large websites like Reddit, Twitter, Wikipedia ban Google Search, maybe they die, too along with Google search.

Which means we return to late '90s and early 2000s situation when there were no behemoths hoarding data and knowledge and there were many specialized websites. I am happy with checking tech news on HN, checking stuff about cars on a car website, read about photography on a photography website and so on, instead of searching countless Facebook groups and subreddits.
I've heard the term before, but I have never needed to use jagged arrays.
Could you elaborate or provide examples? I have never seen what you're describing on Wikipedia.
Imagine being told that your 50-year-old brain surgeon is returning from to a year-long psychedelic sabbatical just prior to your surgery. LSD, ayahuasca, psilocybin, frogs, everything. They tell you that this has completely changed everything about what they think and know.

There is an inconsistency between the ability to “change your mind”, and the right to hold a lifetime credential, or more broadly, an identity or reputation. In the other direction, a person with a new brain may find themselves trapped by an old identity, reputation, or criminal record. Either way, there’s no good way to assess whether someone’s capabilities or behavior has changed to become inconsistent with past labels. This is also true for the sober passage of time and experience, but massively more so with the use of drugs (including alcohol). The main difference with psychedelics is that they affect a broader range of higher-order brain systems, whereas most other abused substances mainly affect the dopamine system, which is also disastrous, but probably takes longer to affect skill and knowledge.

Imagine all of this research results in wonderful outcomes for happiness and positive affect and sociality etc. Everybody wants the treatment. Then we discover that all we’re doing is making people dumber, and dumb people are happier. And they’re also more confident, extroverted, and relatable, even creative, as they are no longer bound to their former knowledge, reasoning, or expertise, so the perception is that they are even smarter. It’s perfect for the individual, but a potential disaster for society.

And of course, a proper screed today wouldn’t be complete without prognosticating about AI. It’s possible that some form of machine learning could and maybe should replace most forms of crystallized intelligence and skill, such that the only thing left for humans is exactly this type of “dumb genius” that we seem to find so beguiling in the majority of famous people.

Honestly this kind of "honest question" is quite depressing: If you don't start out from the understanding that yes, Google is ground reality for most people and yes, the law should protect you from unjust persecution on those kinds of platforms then what can we tell you? This point of view is inhumane and should just be released. It is not for others to convince you that you should consider human rights more important than corporate rights. You should wonder why you have this point of view and why you think it's reasonable. Then let it go, so you don't infect others with it (and make the world a measurably worse place as your legacy).

All my students us it a lot. We use it a lot in the office - we have a lot of digital paperwork to do, ChatGPT is fine at doing it all.

It can write lectures, generate worksheets, come up with interesting quizzes, D&D stuff.

It's just a tool, some people will find it useful, some won't. A bit like a chainsaw.
> talk in terms of ridiculous tribes like "tech bros" without realizing they're stereotyping people in a way nearly indistinguishable than the kinds of stereotyping that goes on in the minds of bigots

It's actually quite distinguishable.

Stereotyping is when you assign characteristics to a group that are unrelated to the group's actual defining characteristics, and so there's no reason to think the group actually has this characteristics. For instance, saying all black people like hot sauce or something to use a silly example.

Meanwhile, if you are talking about a group that you've defined in terms of characteristics relevant to whatever you are discussing, and are only assigning characteristics that are relevant to how you've defined the group, then that's just a necessary part of reasoning about the social dynamics of whatever subject you're talking about.

Furthermore, it's only bigotry when you are speaking negatively or hatefully about a group with morally irrelevant characteristics and members that can't choose whether or not to be part of that group (so membership in it is also morally inert). None of this is true for 'tech bros' as a group.

Tech bros are a specific tendency/subculture of people who work in tech, with attitudes toward technical progress characterized by a brash and hubristic belief that purely technological solutions can solve everything, and that qualitative considerations of human experience and existence are irrelevant to decision-making and should be ignored as "irrational."

Thus, talking about "tech bros" in this context perfectly meets all my criteria for being valid. The group is defined in terms of characteristics relevant to this discussion, isn't assigned any characteristics that don't follow from that, only garners a negative connotation for reasons based on the actual definition of the group, and it is a group that's just a philosophical category and so of course people can volitionally join or leave based on their actual beliefs.
I would say it's more akin to AR/VR as far as hype.

In other words, the tech is real and amazing, but it doesn't seem as immediately useful in the short term as some people expect.
It is, although at both schools I went to "ragged arrays" was the more common term.

I think to some degree it's fallen out of favor as this is the only kind of array you will ever see if you stick to, say, bootcamp-level Python and JavaScript.
