Method 1 is definitely a culture that needs to be encouraged and nourished (and sometimes people need to be trained). And it's fragile: If there's even a hint of "What have you coded in the last week/month" from anywhere up the management chain--poof! It's gone and everyone is motivated to move to Method 2.
I refuse to pay OpenAI for "as an LLM, I can't do that (even though I really can)" and lectures amounting to "that would offend the sensibilities of whatever Bay Area asshole censored me so I refuse to do that," and I've learned to not even waste my time asking LLMs anything but the most milquetoast of things. Guarantee I'm not even close to the only one. To say nothing of the fact that they're hilariously untrustworthy even when they do deign to fulfill your requests.
Imagine how much more expensive a car seat designed to be fully reusable after a collision would be, then consider how often most people are involved in serious collisions.

I'm in my 40s, and I've been a passenger in one collision that required a tow truck, something like 20 years ago. Most people I've talked to have similar experiences in terms of frequency of serious collisions.

It's less expensive overall to do it this way.
tldr: In it's first six months, generative AI has failed to transform the world. Thus, clearly, generative AI will never transform the world.

Ask HN: What is the Salesforce ecosystem like these days?
I acted as a Salesforce developer about ten years ago, and have since moved on to different stacks, but I figure this experience will be good to have in my back pocket.

I'm curious if there are any Salesforce developers here, how they feel about developing on the platform in 2023, and what the outlook is for this job market?

SSG long predates Next.js. It was by no means the first, but I wrote something that I think could be called a SSG (not the term I used at the time) back in 2010 while the first release of Next.js wasn't until 2016.

The hard part about these tips is they will lead you to waste a lot of time. Most companies have no real perspective on if they are in the 60th percentile by comp or the 95th percentile by comp for a role. Some companies will also slot you at different levels based on a number of factors including different levels meaning different things at different companies. If you're trying to get your first FAANG job and generally haven't worked in other high comp roles the advice certainly applies, in that you're likely to underestimate what's possible and shoot yourself in the foot early. If you're already at near top of market compensation you might get a better offer in the end but you're also going to go through 25 entire interview processes you don't have time for because neither side wants to establish compensation.

It sounds interesting. I wonder though if diodes cause more current spikes in a system, so that perhaps currents exceed maximum ratings of the components for very brief moments.

"Simple" and "intuitive" are rather orthogonal concepts.

The AP article cited notes that the "barricades" were in many cases downed live power and telephone lines:

...because the technology cannot yet live up to the insane hype about and around it... fueled by over-enthusiastic promoters selling snake-oil.

There are still quite a few challenges to making LLMs work reliably. For example, see https://huyenchip.com/2023/08/16/llm-research-open-challenge....

Until AI researchers and practitioners find ways to overcome those challenges -- possibly requiring new breakthroughs -- the technology won't live up to the hype.

Eventually, I believe AI will live up to the hype. But no one knows with certainty how long it will take to get there.

Shame on anyone who pretends otherwise to sell snake-oil!

This is a lot of software nowadays. Design something extremely confusing, write complicated docs, users scratch their heads hold it the wrong way, things blow up, blame the user for not understanding your mental model. When I write software, the mantra I have is that if a user is capable of going to a bad state using the interface I expose, it's a bug on my end. It doesn't change anything whether it's a silly mistake, gross misunderstanding of the API, literal illiteracy, confusion induced by alcohol poisoning... If a user uses your interface and encounters an issue, it's on you to prevent it and tell the user "doing X is not supported, don't do it" instead of either (1) segfaulting or (2) accepting it, leading to subtle bugs.
Yeah I asked ChatGPT to help me write python code to automatically press a key on my keyboard on a timer to send to the active window and it immediately shut me down saying it was unethical and titled the chat "unethical app request."

Like sure that can be misused but I had a legitimate usage for it and it's kind of ridiculous to think that the AI refused to write a piece of code for me. I wasn't asking for a virus or anything dangerous just a thing to help me refresh a page on an interval and it shut me down.

I managed to get it to do it by describing a different usage that was potentially more kosher but still had the same functionality. If I hadn't I'd have just written the app it was like 10 lines I just didn't want to deal with typing it out because I was in a hurry.
Delivering value and innovation are orthogonal concepts. Sometimes innovation is required to deliver value, but not always.

Take Uber for example, it required no technological innovation (still great feat of engineering of scale).

Meanwhile ChatGPT did.

Both deliver value.

For coding and technical stuff, I'm at the stage now that I know only a few people who I would chose to consult with if I could, over GPT-4. That's from a large pool of technical people I know. That's of course not the case for personal stuff, although I also see that changing over time.
In the US secondhand car seats are almost impossible to buy because the expiration date on car seats is so short. You sometimes can't even reuse car seats for a second child because everybody knows that a seat manufactured before 2020 is a total deathtrap and there have been so many safety innovations it is missing.
Now Available: Broken Money
I know of a surprising number of small businesses in the Midwest that pay by check. Still, today, post Covid 2023. Weirds me out.
Consider, thoroughly, the hypothetical lottery jackpot. What is it you would choose to do, pursue, aim for, if money were no object and you had nothing except your inner volition to drive you. Would you spend your days reading, exploring philosophy and knowledge? Or would you travel and see the world you've yet to traverse? Maybe you're an individual striving toward community and you want to focus on family, friendship, charity. Maybe a bit of everything?

Design, intentionally, the dream you would live if you could. My friend often responds cynically, saying if he is asked about his dream job he would be a space explorer like some Marvel movie. I hear him as flippant and he's clear he thinks it's a dumb idealistic pontificating exercise. . I go toward the path of okay, what would it take to BE that thing or pursue it...

If you can visualize and reason your way to how something might happen, you can reverse engineer it. You can think of it like chess. Position yourself with strength, understand openings midgame and endgame, but know there are many, many, undiscovered lines left in many positions. Now expand from 64,64 squares and so many moves to the infinite variability in Life. You have levers and positions you can exploit and transpose.

Circumstances will always have a hand as will pure luck, fate, or Higher Power, but... you have immense power to craft your reality and I mean this in no woo terms. You change your thoughts, your words, your actions and most crucially, your influence and environment.

Good luck, oneironaut.

The floor should be the number that you don't feel bad about accepting. That indeed includes your perception of alternatives. If your floor is higher than what you're going to get, you'll miss a few jobs and then learn that your expectations should be lower. That makes the new floor acceptable.

There isn't really a shortcut, because if you feel like you've accepted an offer below your minimum and never applied for other jobs you'll feel like that forever. Which isn't a good foundation for the next years working in the role.
There's no reason not to really, other than btrfs is included in the kernel, and if you're not using RAID then I don't think there's a fundamental advantage to ZFS either. If you want to do ZFS on root, it usually requires more than "zero" levels of extra work, unlike btrfs.

Show HN: Dataherald AI – Natural Language to SQL Engine
Hi HN community. We are excited to open source Dataherald’s natural-language-to-SQL engine today (https://github.com/Dataherald/dataherald). This engine allows you to set up an API from your structured database that can answer questions in plain English.

GPT-4 class LLMs have gotten remarkably good at writing SQL. However, out-of-the-box LLMs and existing frameworks would not work with our own structured data at a necessary quality level. For example, given the question “what was the average rent in Los Angeles in May 2023?” a reasonable human would either assume the question is about Los Angeles, CA or would confirm the state with the question asker in a follow up. However, an LLM translates this to:

select price from rent_prices where city=”Los Angeles” AND month=”05” AND year=”2023”

This pulls data for Los Angeles, CA and Los Angeles, TX without getting columns to differentiate between the two. You can read more about the challenges of enterprise-level text-to-SQL in this blog post I wrote on the topic: https://medium.com/dataherald/why-enterprise-natural-languag...

Dataherald comes with “batteries-included.” It has best-in-class implementations of core components, including, but not limited to: a state of the art NL-to-SQL agent, an LLM-based SQL-accuracy evaluator. The architecture is modular, allowing these components to be easily replaced. It’s easy to set up and use with major data warehouses.

There is a “Context Store” where information (NL2SQL examples, schemas and table descriptions) is used for the LLM prompts to make the engine get better with usage. And we even made it fast!

This version allows you to easily connect to PG, Databricks, BigQuery or Snowflake and set up an API for semantic interactions with your structured data. You can then add business and data context that are used for few-shot prompting by the engine.

The NL-to-SQL agent in this open source release was developed by our own Mohammadreza Pourreza, whose DIN-SQL algorithm is currently top of the Spider (https://yale-lily.github.io/spider) and Bird (https://bird-bench.github.io/) NL 2 SQL benchmarks. This agent has outperformed the Langchain SQLAgent anywhere from 12%-250%.5x (depending on the provided context) in our own internal benchmarking while being only ~15s slower on average.

Needless to say, this is an early release and the codebase is under swift development. We would love for you to try it out and give us your feedback! And if you are interested in contributing, we’d love to hear from you!
> Who is buying all those AI-written books? Who prefers AI-made songs to human music? Who wants to rely on AI journalism to keep up on the news? Who trusts AI in any mission critical job?

This is the real reason AI won't take off into the singularity. AI conquered chess decades ago, but no one cares, they still all want to see what the humans are doing in that area.

AI creativity is not interesting because it is not a human expression. We want human expressions. That's what makes impressions on us.
I find that a lot of Show HN (YC companies included) that make it to the front page have the same problems. I usually don't make comments on it but I find it crazy that someone would launch either a paid product or something that takes your private information without knowing where they exist or who they are.
Yeah, if it talked like 4chan and would randomly produce incorrect bomb recipes, people would totally use it more.
My vote is for sequestering carbon as an ever-growing mountain range of diamonds.
Every time this advice comes up I groan because it's so specific to a single type of individual and a single sector-economy convergence. If you're not a top engineer applying to companies with massive salary caps, or especially if you're not a typical dev/PM role this advice is generally crap and will waste your time.

My advice for people who don't fall into the above:

1) Spend time to actually figure out what you are realistically worth in a new role. Glassdoor, Levels.fyi, H1B comp reports, ask your friends, there are tons of resources to do this.

2) Set a "reach" salary based on #1 and ask for that up front. 20% above your target salary is a good starting point. This accomplishes two things: a) it immediately weeds out all the spam recruiters and low-balling companies without wasting hours of your time on interviews; and b) it puts you in the right place to negotiate with the companies that are serious rather than trying to play chicken the entire time.

3) Set a floor below which you walk away and stick to it. The floor is going to be different for different companies. If there's a company you really want to work for because they're doing interesting things and you like the people there, your floor should be lower than at a generic job you're just considering as a ladder rung.

Will this advice potentially get you less than the absolute max you could make? Sure. But if that's your only goal then you should hire a personal recruiter working for you.
I would say that your results may vary. However if you are able to show them this link. It explains the situation fairly well.

[ETA: see replies, I've been convinced that air defense is, with the available information at this particular moment, the most likely explanation.]

I've read a few articles and not seen that suggested, but this is a developing story.

WSJ is reporting that this is footage of the crash:

Assuming it's genuine, that looks more like a stall than a surface to air missile to my untrained eyes.
I don't own a car, I use my bike for non-entertainment purposes as well. Waze app is very useful for me - in addition to helping me get to places, it reports traffic jams and speed limits (not all roads have clear signs). If I were riding around aimlessly then yeah, I don't need a phone, but I do that very rarely.
If I understand things correctly, current comp shouldn't be part of the equation or talks as far as your recruiter and company that you're interviewing with are concerned. The position will have a comp range. That is not related to what you may be currently earning.
I might be wrong about Netflix, I have not watched it in a long time. But certainly many pay channels, pay sports networks, and pay streaming services also have ads. Sometimes skipable, sometimes not.

This is only partially true. Sure the company has a lot of cards but they are playing a different game. They are Hikaru playing 12 blitz chess games at once, and potential employees are offering something, else they're not negotiating they're just working out the terms of their slavery.
> Information-theoretic, there is no way you can beat SSR in this scenario.

I think this is generally true, but it does depend on how long it takes SSR to complete. If that's slow, you could potentially be faster by sending a bit of JS+HTML and allowing processing to continue in the background to be fetched later when it's ready instead of waiting for everything.

That said, I think that's a fairly unrealistic scenario since a bad connection with high latency is probably more of an overhead.

Because it's so intensely personal, it'd be unlikely to have one pattern that would do IT for just anyone. A way to edit the patterns in an app over Bluetooth to get it jusssst right might be the ticket.
FWIW I did all of those things this article says not to do and ended up making close to 200% of my previous total compensation (which I'm happy with).

Some recruiters didn't ask me for my compensation figures upfront. Google, Microsoft, Meta, Snap, LinkedIn, and some startup recruiters never asked me for my compensation numbers up front. The only ones that did, were to make sure neither of us were wasting each others' times. Usually that meant that I didn't continue to interview with them.

Most if not all recruiters asked me where I was in the interview process and which companies I was interviewing at. I mentioned every company I was interviewing with and where I was in the process with them. I probably got lucky here as I had around 50% onsite to offer rate so I was never left in a spot where I had no leverage.

My best offers were the ones where VPs called me to try to close the process, and I negotiated directly with them instead of the recruiter.
>It's usually better to have a high fee for things you don't want people to do rather than outright banning something.

Why? Any rule with a fine is a rule that the wealthy can just ignore. Why is that a desired attribute of the system?

Your example is great because it doesn't mean that planes very rarely land there and are very important, but rather that rich people land there to get a burger next door whenever they want.

>If it starts happening too often and the residents don't think they're getting a good deal, they can increase the fee.

I don't see how more money makes you sleep better at night when the rich private plane owner is flying over your house most nights.
The other take here would be that apparently it’s too hard (or too expensive) to scale up to demand.
These have been standard on mobile platforms for a long time now (e.g. "leading" and "trailing" on iOS), good to see them making their way onto the web. They make building a language-agnostic UI a much more reasonable task.
Features interact combinatorially, which introduces complexity.

Faxing isn't a great example, since from the perspective of most other features, it's probably just a special case of printing, but you can imagine it made it harder to build a web-based version of Word (what number are you faxing from? How does the computer in the MS data center contact or emulate it?)
