You're missing the point. These LLM which are replacing "junior developers" aren't what's going to be used for "hard or even medium problems" because you don't just give junior developers "hard problems" to solve in isolation. Now try to give some thought as to the types of problems junior developers are suited to solve. Now apply ChatGPT to those scenarios.
There's also commercial buildings. You could put a gigantic solar array on top of a Walmart Supercenter, and then an even bigger solar array over its parking lot.
It's quite common for politicians to return money that is stolen/foreign/otherwise when they find out.

Sometimes because the law requires it, but also if they don't, the attack ad for their opponent writes itself.

Although obviously it depends on how much time has passed and whether the money should already be considered "spent". Because even if the politician wants to repay it, new donors want their money going to re-election activities, not going to repay FTX. After a period of time, you might as well be asking the television stations to return the money they received for running the campaign ads, which... isn't gonna happen.
> SQL is common for ETL exactly because it’s not brittle,

SQL is common for ETL because typically at least one, sometimes both, ends of an ETL operation is an RDBMS for which SQL is the standard language. It has nothing to do with lack of brittleness.
Why should Americans care about "economic performance" when they are seeing little benefit of it. The .1% etc.

That is just not true at all - plenty of opportunities to build up denser

And lots of land outside metro areas - that’s how cities become metros, people buy on the outskirts then they’re in the metro area connected by transit
Love this. Ha
Well, this is what future LLMs are for.

Somewhere I saw a great quote about "AIs having meetings with AIs" and essentially doing nothing... But doing nothing very efficiently.

And if this makes leaders uncomfortable by undermining the original human busywork, good.
maybe paralegals could be replaced by even cheaper clerks with ChatGPT ?

why pay Law school graduate as paralegal, when you can hire associate degree grad with ChatGPT to do the same work?
That link wasn't provided to argue that I could "mountain bike." It was provided to answer your question about whether I was actually raising children or not.

I provided that link as the lowest effort, least argumentative means to show that I have already answered that question in this very discussion. And it's sort of annoying that you are turning this into a big deal because you clearly assume I am supposed know that googlryas and oh_sigh are the same person without telling me that because you already stated it once elsewhere:

> but pretending like any loss at all is unacceptable, such as you're doing here, is a farce.

There's a weird transformation that this conversation has gone through. As a reminder it started out with you saying "besides, doomsaying that 'anything could be illegal!' isn’t backed by anything real or lasting."

Which is just false. And I'm not sure where I or frankly anyone else in this thread has suggested that even just a single person being hurt means that privacy is an existential problem. Quite the opposite, I accepted the premise that there's a threshold, asked you what your opinion of that threshold was, and responded to you saying:

> Every time in modern history western society has started down the path of outlawing some form of existence, we self correct.

and

> Their whole argument is, “what if stuff you like is made illegal in the future?!?!” with absolutely no tether to realit[y]

by pretty objectively correctly pointing out that this doesn't change anything for anyone caught out in the current situation and that, yeah, things being made illegal in the future is a completely realistic concern with countless historical examples backing it up.

Of course we balance concerns about safety. I still use a phone and participate in society, I'm using my real name online right now. Ironically, I'm being less pseudonymous than you are right now. Very clearly I am not saying that a single person dying means we all need to go live in the woods.

But "what is an acceptable level of sacrifice for convenience" really doesn't have anything to do with the argument "I have nothing to hide." If someone dismisses concerns about car safety or medical accessibility or criminal activity by saying that those dangers aren't real, then they'd be very much in the wrong. And it's equally wrong to dismiss privacy concerns by saying that concerns about future erosion of rights "aren't tethered to reality." They are a thing that happens. They're real, just as real as car accidents. So no you don't have to stop driving, but you should wear a seatbelt, look both ways before you cross the street, and use an encrypted messenger on your phone.
The idea is that remote operators help get the car unstuck, but the car should always be able to avoid collisions on its own. I think these cars are supposed to pull over as well instead of blocking traffic.

Key word here being “supposed to”, of course problems occur all the time. Also once a car gets stuck, pulling over is hard because… it’s stuck.

Legal considerations are not the only considerations. What the court says is not accepted by all as the final word.

And why should we need to confine our replies to a narrow and arbitrary framework of existing case law, when there is so much more at play?
> Compiling Emacs in 5 minutes vs 10 on Intel is really nice though!

I know the thread is one day old but in case you read this comment... That's really weird though: on my 7700X the latest version of Emacs compiles in 1m36s (and 1m39s, only 3s more, when it's in "eco mode", thermally throttled at 85 C).

On the 3700X it was already only 2m25s.

I think there's something wrong if a M1 needs 5 minutes to compile Emacs where an AMD 7700X desktop only takes 1m36s.
sorry but these examples are not impressive at all and by no means a representative of any serious programmer's workload.

Programmers are paid not to bang out code, but rather to figure out the mess and crap of the existing codebase and how to selectively add one-two lines to change system's behavior and keep stability of the system.

I wouldn't set your hopes that high. It won't manifest CUDA or Vulkan drivers for you magically, nor extend your battery life by having more cores and a larger screen.

You're ultimately looking at a set of tradeoffs. There are a lot of options, but none of them are really perfect. If Macbooks are my only option, I would probably be content with a Macbook Air with a high enough memory config. If you really need that much more power, you could purchase a separate Mac for home and VNC/SSH into it when you need the extra power.

There is no silver bullet here. I would reconsider how much power you actually need though; even the most intensive programming jobs can fit comfortably on a regular multi-core processor.

This is a different, competing project that also aims to become the successor of C++.
Every new concept requires a mapping to metaphors and/or analogies. And when the mapping is mismatched between learner and author's content, elucidation hangs in the balance. Thus, the expertise of lecturers lies in expertise of public speaking coupled with mapping concepts to the intended audience.

QC and general relativity are daunting topics that don't lend themselves well to short-form, self-paced content. These are topics that need foundational perquisites and subject matter experts to catechize. It would be like hopping out of a helicopter mid K2 without any training or acclimatization and expecting to summit. Start smaller and work your way up one step or idea at a time. :)
A long time ago I had an office with a door that I was encouraged to shut so I could concentrate. I was an individual contributor who needed to get shit done.

Over the years I worked in cube farms where the CIO would come at 3pm like clockwork to see if people were actually working or slacking off. Probably because despite being agiley, shit was broken.

Then I worked in an “open plan” office where I had to elbow my coworkers so I had enough space to type on the keyboard. Shit was still broken but damn there were now three times as many developers as before.

It was and is the result of incompetent management and the corporate culture that rewards them. The incentives is not about getting shit done but to build their ego and feudal empire.

Little Computer People 2 anyone? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Computer_People
"Statement from Brewster Kahle, digital librarian of the Internet Archive:
“When people want to listen to music they go to Spotify. When people want to study sound recordings as they were originally created, they go to libraries like the Internet Archive. Both are needed. There shouldn’t be conflict here.”"

From the article

I believe they are arguing that the intent behind the digitization is fair use, as you say, but what I find interesting is they seem to argue that there is no loss of profit from their work, which is a valid point to raise - if this is all hypothetical exceptions can and should be made to the law.

Even if they don't have a case, say the copyright law is very tight and clear and there's no way this can skirt around it - they still can bring it to court, fight it, and lose until they get it overturned by the Supreme Court and they get a special status or the copyright law is amended. This is standard - it's how the 19th amendement was passed I believe, I'll look for a link.

Edit: to clarify, there is no damage to the copyright holders because the medium holding their work is impossible to be used to listen to their work by anyone but experts, like the IA

Edit 1: Here's what I was remembering - it's not an amendment, but it's neat!

Don't you also know the type of the object when dealing with pointers and references (assuming no casts)?

Though arenas are useful even outside of "hacks".

In the end, a pointer (or a reference, even) is "just" a usize index into the heap, which can be thought of as a heterogenous collection.

If you're going to say something silly like sugar is a grass it's clear you don't know what you're talking about and I'm going to leave this conversation.

Most sugar in the U.S. is made from beets, which are not a grass.

Also...dark chocolate, soy, spinach, fruit, meat, and coffee are opiate triggers, so if sugar is bad because it triggers an opiate response, so is most of the human diet. It turns out the bodies response to eating...is to trigger an opiate response.

The problem is at the VP level, not the L6 level. It's not that impact isn't considered, it's that impact is relative to the current org goals of the moment, because it's evaluated by your peers that have presumably all bought into the current org goals of the moment (if they haven't, they will probably be fired or sidelined soon). However, there's very little feedback between things users care a lot about and things executives care about. You're rewarded for doing things that your VP deems important. Your VP is almost certainly not going to sweat the small stuff (although I do know a couple that try). It's impractical for someone with 2000 reports to keep up with every little bug in their product area, and they would be a terrible micromanager if they did. So what usually happens is that they call out the few annoyances they happen to see when using the product, everybody in their org jumps on fixing those because that will get them promoted, and everything not noticed or not specifically called out by a VP languishes.

How would I fix it? Not get to the point where the shots are being called by people with 2000 direct reports, for one. Software has distinct diseconomies of scale, where you have a much smaller loop between "Notice a problem. Identify who can solve the problem. Solve the problem" in a small organization than a big one. But that ship has sailed.

Failing that, I think orgs need to adopt quantitative measures of impact (eg. X tickets closed, X customers helped, X new sales generated) along with backpressure mechanisms to ensure that those metrics are legitimate (eg. you can't just create new bugs to solve them; you can't just help customers only for them to need to return tomorrow; you can't generate new sales that are unprofitable).

Why do people do this, I think surely they don't behave this way in real life, but they feel the need to for YouTube?

Another example that comes to mind, one I actually bared to watch some of, is Stephen Hawes (née Stephen the Robot). Great content, obviously a smart guy doing some great stuff. But every video starts over-excited 'hello my goblins and ghouls' (what?), we get crash zooms in on his face and mouth, violent music and head jerks to mark scene transitions, etc.

Of course by all means have some personality, it's your video, etc., I just don't believe this is their (offline) personality?

Matthias Wandel, Clough42, Marius Hornberger, and Phil's Lab I think each clearly have a certain personality that comes through, but it's 'professional', it's truly them, I assume, I think if I knew or met or worked with them in real life that they'd be exactly as I 'know' them to be. They seem genuine, and not insane.
The guy you're replying to took the data as he saw it, formed a hypothesis that matched the data, and the hypothesis makes a prediction which can be validated. Is it an unlikely/weak hypothesis? Sure. But you're asking him to just throw away thought/science, to not try to explain the world.

I think most user data will be completely useless for AI training. No context, no quality control. Even assuming wisdom of crowds and on average you get the correct answer, you are training an AI to give a mediocre response. Back in the days of Big Data hype, many companies decided to store everything because data was valuable. But in most cases it wasn't worth the cost of the hard drives, because it only has value if there is a buyer willing to pay the cost of making use of it. There is a lot of data out there, but it is information and knowledge that has value.

Wouldn’t it make more sense to put he young bright minds to work at trying to make hydrogen cheap enough to replace coal for the steel production? Keeping people working isn’t really the problem.
But those cities with housing problems aren’t having those problems due to natural population growth, the cities are definitely growing via from outside immigration (whether in country or not). Their children have nowhere to live because a bunch of richer outsiders outbid them for housing. You don’t here about a housing crisis in Californian cities like Bakersfield or Chico, because their is no demand for people to move to those places.

The worst thing a city can do for housing affordability is simply having a bunch of high paying jobs that attract people to move in. In that case, it doesn’t matter if you build like crazy as in Beijing or Shanghai, or if you have minimal zoning like Tokyo or Houston, housing costs are going to soar because people will want to move there, and you won’t be able to satisfy demand without raising prices.
Why do we always defer to these copyright mongers? They're so absurd.

Ah yes, preventing the listening of "Tip Toe Thru' The Tulips With Me" by Bert Ambrose & his Orchestra is a pressing national priority.

Oh, the national economy will collapse if someone can hear "I Lift Up My Finger & I Say Tweet Tweet" by Stanley Lupino.

I found their "sacred rights" implausible when the RIAA was hauling grannies into prison 20 years ago or suing babies and dead people and I'm still not convinced today.

The first comment is on point, pre-Prohibition the US was basically run on good old constitution juice. Turning excess grain into a storage-friendly form that also fetched a good price was a huge economic reality at all levels, from individual farmers to large land-owners.

Parents are charged with responsibility for their children, and therefore, parents must be the advocates for their childrens' interests, while exercising adult-level discretion.

This is essentially the same reason that women didn't have the vote in the past. They didn't need it. Because the man of the house was the representative of the entire family: husband, wife, children, servants, other relatives living on the land. A landowner could have a large family, and his vote represented the collective interests of the entire family. Western consumerism and individualism, killing off the concept of the family, has caused everyone to decide they need to individually represent themselves and their own selfish interests, rather than their family, neighborhood, community, employer, etc.
Peter Pan copyright
Copyright is meant to serve the public. This is done by incentivizing artists and corporations but the goal is to promote creation so that the populace ultimately benefits. If this isn't assumed, then you assume government should not work for the people.

By doing something that's technically illegal but antithetical to the spirit of public good, IA is highlighting how perverted copyright law has become.

You want people to refrain from criticizing record companies greed but there's a clear argument that highlights this as the main motivation. Artists who own their own copyrighted works sometimes buy up old media of themselves and refuse to license it for fear of impacting the image they've created for themselves (or just because they're embarrassed). Very much different from this scenario, record companies are preventing use in a way that looks like extortion.

In my view, it's not that there isn't an argument to made that this is an illegal act, it's that there's a deeper question of whether it should be. Sometimes new laws are changed by breaking them.
