Can any grunt then check that the AI actually produce what was actually required?

And yes, how can we forget that any audio of a meeting has just the correct and final specifications, and not meandering discussions about anything and everything. Can't wait to see a canhazcheeseburger in a financial app because people in the meeting had cats on camera, and people demanded to see them.

I mentioned a "Revert Norway tax code" elsewhere https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37680060 It was a bit tongue in cheek, but a similar requirement ended up with:

- six months of discussions involving almost 20 people

- 4 new BigTable tables

- Deployment of 4 new Dataflow jobs, and fixes to two other Dataflow jobs

- Several complex test runs across the entire system including a few recreations of last year's full data to test that nothing broke

Not a grunt job, definitely. And I'm 100% sure that people doing that would still have their jobs 10 years from now, even with AI.

It amazes me, really, that people who would otherwise boast about how rational they are, and how they follow logic etc. completely replace all their knowledge and expertise with child-like belief in magic when it comes to anything AI-related.

It probably matters immensely which specific molecule is blocked and if you block one too early in some process then critical intermediates can’t be made. Sort of like deleting some code, it matters what’s downstream, so maybe earlier parts of this process are bad to block, but if you have a heart attack, then blocking later parts of the same process could trick your heart cells back into regenerating instead of being stable.

Also worth noting, this could be an example of hormesis. A metabolic approach to de-differentiate heart cells into a more primitive form by disrupting the way they process fats could be considered a toxic insult which triggers some defense (stemness) which is the proximate cause / helpful thing (not the toxic insult)

Persuading a judge to keep info away from public record because it's confidential business information supposedly requires Google's attorneys to argue the docs contain numbers, personal/privacy sensitive information, names of subcontractors/companies that they consider competitive advantage (I'm not a lawyer)?! Wouldn't it make more sense to redact those sections out rather than discussing them behind closed doors?

I mean, I imagine it should be possible to assemble merits & antitrust-legality without disclosing the nitty gritty? Or is that exactly the point — that Google could easily comply, but is weaseling to protect its image, reputation? And if so, what motives would a judge have to play along? What leverage does Google have against judge (not prosecution)?

1Password overdid it a while ago for me and I switched to KeePassXC. It is certainly not as polished as 1Password but the developer team is very responsive and since I started using it, especially on macOS, things have improved a lot already. It is a pleasure to watch things evolve and Passkey support is the next big thing that will be added.
Compared to Keychain Access, KeePassXC works cross platform and I need that, since my devices are cross platform. Also helps to avoid vendor lock-in.

> 1. Write a configuration library for a real programming language. Have this library generate a JSON configuration file that is treated purely as an inspectable artifact, not something to edit by hand.

I'll enjoy watching this thread evolve. Some thoughts from my experience:

- Everyone asks to translate simpler spreadsheets and Excel charts/graphs into dashboards in your BI tool of choice. As soon as it's there, they'll ask you why they can't export to manage the data themselves. This vicious cycle can sometimes be stopped but is a slow-motion drag on productivity in lots of orgs.

- Build in validations, and/or work on ways to check the dashboard. Dashboards sometimes put their builders and consumers on auto-pilot. The dashboard "must be right" but could easily have a bug or inaccuracy for weeks/months/etc. that isn't obvious without some external validation.

- The dashboard never has the "right" metrics - users will continue asking for changes. Be your best advocate and say no as a way of understanding the importance of the ask

- Related: always ask why about everything you're building into or modifying in dashboards. Business users often ask for things without an ounce of rationale.

- Related: taking away is harder than not doing at all!

Finally, I think most dashboards miss one fundamental point. Imagine you're the CEO/COO and you've got this beautiful 3 or 4-chart dashboard in front of you. What should you know about what you're seeing? What's the succinct summary?

I like building in spots to write 2-3 sentence executive summaries.

JSON is not perfect either but hey, you can write just the data no whitespace and everything is fine! In YAML you need to first write the data, then find the whitespace error. The next logical thing is to use handwriting for configuration files, no technology at all
If you have fifty different groups studying roughly the same thing and publishing any interesting-looking results with p<.05, you're probably going to have some spurious results on the topic. If you have 500 groups, you're going to have a lot of spurious and probably some outright contradictory results published.

I was managing a few labs full of machines used for training on NT4 which meant I was frequently re-imaging and could use effective remote control capability. Back Orifice was, at the time, the absolute best remote admin solution available for free. I could deploy it in the image and then use it to kick off reimage process, reboot, log out a student, or monitor their screen from the teacher's desk to share on the attached TV. It really was a handy tool for remote admin tasks.

Pure soil wouldn't be a good option. Anything that's subject to high traffic, whether foot or vehicular, will also be subject to soil compaction which implies water pooling. That's a long way of saying those parking lots will turn into mud lots. At a minimum you could grade and gravel them, going the extra mile to crush the gravel so it stays in place longer. I do this with the driveway at my house because it rains a lot where I live. Paving would arguably last a lot longer and probably be more bang for my buck, but not having a place for water to go and having a basement is not a good combination.

On my driveway we only tend to get clovers and really resilient weeds. So, either really shallow rooted plants or weeds with absurdly strong roots. You're not likely to get native plans to grow unless you section off parts of the area for maintaining living soil.

I read the Android team is trying to secure Android by writing new code in Rust. I am wondering how many of these issues would go away by using Rust or at least minimized to easier to audit unsafe blocks. Obviously it might take them 10x the effort to write the code on Rust and to integrate that into Chrome, but the security effort shown here has a large cost as well.

I resonate to this feeling and how I reflected on my own experience was that it isn't me, it's the company. As others have mentioned, relationships are king. In some companies, it's likely you're not going to make relationships with the decision makers and that's not a reflection of who you are.

Thinking this is an ambition problem is self-blame and is unfair to yourself.

The very last thing (Don't forget the extra line break otherwise all shit goes to hell) is not valid. There is the ">" operator that "replaces a single newline by space but keeps empty line as newlines" and the "|" operator that preserves newlines. So in the example they just need to use the right operator and all is fine.
To me, this version sounds way too casual. I can see why that would be appealing to some, but it just makes it sound like a hippie on acid trying to be profound.

AI bots are going to replace everything, aren't they?

Instead of getting info/assistance from people or internet posts, we'll all constantly be talking to bots.

The bots will have online learning and/or fine tuning, or access to vector stores.

The AI will sometimes learn from us and share that info with others.

We'll effectively be communicating with one another via LLMs.

The paper is about generating art. The paper makes claims about the subjective value of the art.

Seems central. If the art is not good, but commercial kitsch, then that matters.

Lesson learned: start with fewer metrics and observe how they are used and interpreted. It is much easier to expand correctly from there. Collecting requirements in a single pass and building a monolith is rarely as productive as it seems - because the barrier to adding things and shifting responsibility to the dashboard is so low in the beginning, that it can easily become a dumping ground.
Yeah those examples aren't really fixing the problem I was referring to, if anything they're making it worse.

What I was referring to is that 'SELECT * FROM A JOIN B ON f(A) = g(B)' and 'SELECT * FROM B JOIN A ON f(A) = g(B)' mean exactly the same thing, but this is not obvious from the language. This is especially iffy when you start joining even more tables together.

The equivalence is clear when you write out the corresponding diagram and note that the join is its limit, but your examples seem to make the same mistake SQL did by lumping together the join condition with one of the two tables.
I find it baffling that you counter the actual link to the process as described by the company itself with unsupported words about your experience of doing it in some other way that somehow works. Even taking this at face value, still no word on how that applies to any of the many cases which don't involve the app. Then, even more bafflingly, you shoot down my personal experience and justify it with your own experience. Talk about unproductive and lack of insight.

> The ombudsman for rail for one finds the claims management of DB satisfactory

The appeal to (pseudo)authority. Here's why that's not helpful: As per the article the German legal system puts people in jail for taking the bus without a ticket. So you say that's proof the practice is fine.

The effort it takes to have your legal rights respected by these companies is the abuse that you find excuses for.
