I work in cloud consulting and I had a project where I needed to create a CI/CD proof of concept for the customer to use that involved deploying a Docker container to ECS (AWS’s Docker orchestrator) and show how they could integrate automated testing with the pipeline.

They use Java - a language I literally haven’t used since maybe a year after it was introduced.

I used ChatGPT to create the source code for the sample based on my specifications including Junit tests, the build with Maven, the Dockerfile - everything.

Of course it got a few things wrong and missed steps and I had to keep pasting in error messages until it got it right. But it was still faster than trolling the internet.

Of course I was very up front with the client that the Java pieces were all generated by ChatGPT.
Sunlight to Hydrogen with Record Efficiency
Apparently Rice University engineers made a device that can turn sunlight into hydrogen with record-breaking efficiency.
You completely missed my point. I was saying that singling out so called 'Asians' parents itself is racist. There are white parents who are doing it. There are black parents who are doing it. There are whatever parents are doing it. There are competitive parents everywhere

Especially when they are talking about California where the silicon valley sits, maybe check out the bigger picuture before pinning it on some races?
Sure, but still, the effort put into opposing nuclear power was better invested in opposing coal power.
Docker is great, another option I like to use is sqlite.

I'm writing a small and simple application and I'm just using an sqlite database for my tests. I have a helper function to create the db, another to add a table, and then a third to delete the db at the end.

So in total 3 functions to setup and teardown a test database. Its super quick because an sqlite db is just a file after all.
Maybe too costly to do for all questions across the board. And of course it would incentivize posting questions to troll the AI.
I absolutely cannot stand video tutorials for basic things. Why write the text of a command when you can stretch it out to 10 minutes of video? Perhaps even ask people to subscribe or buy from your sponsor while you're at it.
I am also learning common lisp in 2023, I like it!
> So you end up having to write a defensive argument about your problem rather than just plainly asking your real question.

My experience is that it's not so much a defensive argument, but context. My example was poor in that it could be misread as a defensive argument, sorry about that.

I meant it to show how adding some context changes the question. Because, in programming, it is all about context. AKA that "It Depends" meme.
It doesn't. I think sometimes it comes to empire building in large corporations. Where value of managers is decided by how many people are under them. Not by what they actually produce. Or if the people are capable enough to make PKIs look good enough...
My goodness are those "just"s doing a lot of work.
China imports a billion+ tonnes of raw iron per annum and uses vast amounts of coal to make steel (of many grades, not just "cheap" lowest cost lowest grade) of which a large amount goes to the USofA, Europe and elsewhere.

Given it's trade complexity, a significant portion of its coal use goes toward the manufacture of other peoples consumables to met other peoples demand.

Like it or not the US is part of that chain.

Cutesy cartoon saying no JavaScript but all examples are JavaScript. Html first but you need npm install. Convinced this is satire designed to annoy me.
Sure, but the transformer still has 2 connections on the input (HV) side. The neutral path just doesn't run on a continuous wire all the way back.

I think it's interesting that a similar idea can actually be demonstrated in your own home. Because current takes all available paths in relation to their impedance, the household 'neutral', which is also connected to physical ground at multiple points, return path isn't just through the wire itself. The ground connected to your incoming water/gas/UFER will have some small amount of the current your house is using. Most will be on the triplex wire running to the transformer, but a few amps may be on those alternative grounds.
Indeed, for places with a rail connection and un/loading facilities.
Race as a concept distinct from ethnicity arises out of slavery and segregation.

> Our society can never fall...but societies have fallen since the dawn of time

I guess the modern answer from a globalist is that back in the day, societies weren't as entangled as they are today, so they could go into freefall relatively easily with little impact by other societies, so they let them fall, especially if it was beneficial for them.

But today everything is so interconnected that if one fall, it would heavily impact a large part of the rest of the societies, that we cannot let it happen. Just look at how unimportant most people would consider Ukraine to be, before the invasion. But it has a huge impact on large sectors, and most countries would have this impact. Some areas of the world, like the Eurozone, even purposefully lock themselves in with their partners so if Greece gets impacted by something, member states have to help them as it'll impact them greatly if they don't.

So I guess my end argument is that there isn't really "societies" anymore, we're just part of a global one where the decentralized nature is so strong that we cannot really fail (globally) anymore unless there is something really big impacting all of us (like COVID).

That's probably the best way to "lock down" a machine while also keeping it in use after the manufacturer decides that it's not worth their time to support. Lock it down for most people, but unlock it for those who know what they're doing.
That interesting.

Could have a federated LLM approach with different orgs owning different LLM specialties.

"The directive to present the optimistic range estimates came from Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk, this person said."

"“Elon wanted to show good range numbers when fully charged,” the person said, adding: “When you buy a car off the lot seeing 350-mile, 400-mile range, it makes you feel good.”"

Yep, the great Technoking's narcissism manifesting itself in critical technology decisions. Hopefully the ongoing stories of severe mismanagement at Tesla will show people that severe personality flaws matter, especially in technology.
Sometimes I have the feeling that different type of communication tools is not an issue.

“Feels” is accurate. That is merely your personal non-rational response to a position you disagree with. You have no insight into my personal condition whatsoever (and you are entirely off the mark in your feelings).

Sinead (RIP), for example, could have simply recited a line from Jesus regarding what awaits those who harm children (it’s in the Gospels) and held up the picture of the du jour Pope and then list the grievances against that institutions in that regard. Now that would have been a powerful, positive, and progressive, without causing division, and far more effective in causing reflection amongst the faithful of that institutions to do the necessary house cleaning.

The issue here, since it was not clear to you, is the way new understanding, new insights, are to be communicated. The goal remains a Humanity that dwells in harmony and peace after all. Correct?
A lot of companies already allow their developers to use generative AI freely in their workflow.

Looking at https://stackoverflow.co/labs/

> The future of collective knowledge sharing.

The future is feeding all answers into a meat grinder and then forming word like nuggets from the paste and hope we like this? I am sorry but you lost your mind. There is a very fundamental disconnect between LLM hype and reality.

Here is my latest experiment, I needed to search for a string in dangling commits and asked Bing: https://i.imgur.com/pQtpkH5.png You will notice my question was a link because I copied the title from https://stackoverflow.com/q/21903972/308851 and apparently that made it into a link (I had the question open because every time I need to do this I just jump to this question, I outsourced storing my knowledge to SO ages ago). Every single answer given by Bing is wrong, of course, because git log -g is not appropriate for this as the answer states. It's right there: "Commits that are (still) referenced by the reflog are considered reachable and not dangling". And here's the best part: the Learn More 1. Stackoverflow.com links to this very question. The language model have seen "git log -g" in the vicinity of the string "Search for string in dangling commits in Git" and thought it's appropriate. The irony.
Show HN: MUI Toolpad – Open-source, local-first, admin app builder
Hi HN,

Prakhar, Jan, Pedro and Bharat here - we are excited to introduce our product to you. It’s been more than a year since we started working on Toolpad and we're glad to show it to the HN community today.

MUI Toolpad is an open-source, self-hosted internal tool builder designed for backend and full-stack developers who want to build web apps such as analytics dashboards, CRUD interfaces, and utility apps quickly. Toolpad comes as a Node.js package that integrates into your backend and harnesses the speed of its drag-and-drop UI builder for the frontend.

It comes with 16 pre-built Material UI components to build UIs in minutes. You can also import and use external React components in the drag-and-drop builder.

Toolpad runs completely locally which means you're not stuck with an online code editor or a suboptimal GitHub integration. It lets you use your own IDE and extend your existing functions to the canvas through intuitive queries. All configuration is stored in local files which you can version-control, edit, and deploy in any way you want.

You can check out a live demo here [1]. If you find it useful, you can support us by giving a star on GitHub [2]. We released our public beta [3] this week. We're happy to answer any questions/feedback in the comments.

That is true, but also a separate problem. And also still a problem with coal.

Franchise owner makes 150k average on a store. Everything is purchased through corp so a tremendous amount of store revenue flows through them. The money for any land leasing comes from the fast food revenue.

That is to say, it's an overly reductive assessment that McDonald's is not in the fast food business.
They didn't try particularly hard to find out why the biggest model didn't perform as well. Or at all, as far as they report. They give us one sentence speculating "maybe not enough training".

Come on. This is Google. They have unlimited compute resource, biomedical AI is a core strategic objective, they've spent untold $$$ getting data and working on this for years. There are news articles on their efforts going back a decade. And all they could do is wave their hands at "maybe not enough training".
You are not damaged by losing a username. You will lose no money, no status, no clients, nothing. If you choose to print your username on the side of your car that's your choice and GitHub isn't responsible for that. Your case would be dismissed immediately, in some states with prejudice, and rightfully so.

> It is feedback in a professional manner for disrespecting one of their users/clients.

NO, this is emphatically not what the court system is for. You don't sue someone (or a company) to "provide feedback." Courts exist for when you are damaged, you need to be made whole, and the parties cannot come to an agreement without a neutral third party.
Functional Web App
An interesting game! Something to note is letters in typefaces are usually kerned in pairs—meaning when you tackle all the tricky pairs in a typeface, most problems are gone, such as when an angular letter meets a round one e.g. wo or a capital letter like an umbrella meeting most lowercase letters e.g. To, and some uppercase e.g TA. A lot of the 'problems' to solve in this game just wouldn't happen.

If you were to tweak the game to build typography skills it'd be about pairs and you would have to look at the typeface at different sizes. In addition there are poorly kerned typefaces out there which show what happens when no or little kerning exists. You'll find all the common places kerning is required.

Also would be fun to consider ligatures (joined letter pairs e.g. fl) that are possible too. A more stylistic way to deal with spacing between letters.

In short, cute game. Not quite a real-world practice tool!

Edit: the best version of this game would be to make a (or edit an open license) typeface :D and kern it

If anything the last few months have made me more confident that at the end of the day, we’re going nowhere fast.

With all of the money and effort put into GPT-4, and now all of the attention from 3rd party devs, we have very little to show for it? At best we have something that improves productivity by a few percent. It’s..ok. The more you use it the more you realize it’s very flawed.

I will never completely discount that future models will be fundamentally different, but I’d put the chances of that happening in the next 5 years very low, despite what we’re hearing from certain industry folks.

I'm not sure how I feel about it yet, but I've seen codebases that have tests asserting the number of queries that should have been run. Those tests have caught a couple of issues in the past, and they do seem to make the engineers on that team understand better what their ORM is doing.

Normally I wouldn't object like this, but this actually confused me so I'll share it. This should be "HTML-first full stack web framework". I initially read as "The HTML (first full stack web framework)" which immediately soured me on the claim to somehow be the first full stack web framework. Or some other reformulation of the motto which eliminates "first full stack web framework" from a potential garden-path interpretation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garden-path_sentence , so as to spice up my grammar complaint with an HN-style link of interest.

And what would be the criteria for “legitimizing” a piece of filtering software that didn’t involve ideology?
A Looming Retraction Casts a Shadow over a Field of Physics
There's a lot of hedging and qualification in the article you're quoting. For one, it uses a writing-centric definition of "prehistory" that's pretty dumb. Better definitions don't have the problem of "prehistory" being in the 15th century.

This is not the oldest known artifact from Eurasia either. It's usually difficult to identify things as specifically from one side of the strait or the other, but we have a few examples (e.g. Chinese bronzes [1]) that are clearer.

These beads happen to be an incredibly distinctive artifact that show up basically everywhere the Eurasian trade network reached. We use similar diagnostic beads for Roman/postroman trade in the north sea.

How does mixing and matching kernels in one notebook work? Can you directly exchange data between cells of different kernel types somehow? Do you go through the filesystem or some kind of in-memory serialization?

(I'm sorry for the questions that could be answered from documentation, but I can't find the docs on this feature! I have been wanting to specify data cells in a notebook, like the markdown cells, and then reference their contents from a code cell)
You're right that most smart people behave this way, but there's no guarantee that all of them will. The existential risk is still there (psychopathy is a real thing too).

But something else to consider is that so far biological super intelligence doesn't seem to get all that much smarter than what humans are at generally. If somebody is guarded against you, then it's very difficult (impossible) to fool them even if you are way smarter than they are. This could indicate that maybe there's a cap to how super intelligent AI can get as well.
I'll have you know it's 100% organic, all-natural handmade bullshit.
First thing that came to mind is: government with record of every transaction anyone makes on this platform. O_o I suppose the counter argument is that's no different than credit cards and banks providing that under government order anyway. So this just cuts out the middleman?
I am curious how do you use Jupyter?

For me, it used to be Jupyter Notebook. For reasons I cannot pinpoint, I never got convinced to JupyterLab. Sometimes I use Google Colab, primarily for sharing and using GPU for deep learning. Now, when I run it locally, I do it in Visual Studio Code (https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/datascience/jupyter-noteb...), since I don't need to jump back and forth between it and the rest of the code.

The most likely explanation based on the authors in the two articles is infighting, where one researcher decides to publish an uncomplete manuscript with his name as the third author.

He’s omitted from the second author.

I do believe they believe they have something nobel-prize worthy.

They offered to help with replication in other labs, which is a good sign.

Could still be measurement error, we just need to wait until it gets replicated.

rsync.net is also overpriced for strictly backup purposes. Make sure you do check out restic; it can use S3 or Backblaze B2 (I actually use both) as backends instead of something expensive like rsync.net. The value of these boutique storage services evaporates when you start using restic.
Docker performance hit can also matter.
