I use it (LLMs / GPT-4) as a sort of "realtime intern" to offload the more commoditised tasks that I don't really need to do - and that I don't contribute unique value to by doing myself. So some boilerplate CSS layout code, sketching out unit tests, initial stubs of API client code. Lots of "filling in the gaps" - which frees me up to spend more time thinking about higher level architecture, structure, business problems, abstraction/refactoring, planning, design etc.

Due to the way my brain seems to work, it also keeps me from getting stuck on small distracting problems which would previously create some resistance or procrastination - causing a break in my flow of work. It essentially keeps me in a productive flow state for longer periods than I could sustain without it. Any problem that is not in my "critical path" that I want to be focused on in the moment, and that could be easily solved by an LLM, gets "outsourced" as such.

This is in addition to it replacing about 80% of my software development / devops related Google searches. Because I work across quite a wide range of disciplines, I'm often looking for quick answers to questions about some technology stack that I'm not using daily. It's perfect for that. And I have enough familiarity with what I'm working with to sense-check/QA the responses.

I believe you do need some subject matter knowledge and experience to get the best out of LLMs though. I think many people are verbatim copy/pasting code out and complaining when it doesn't work. I very rarely find I waste any time debugging or correcting problems - because I either spot them and correct them in real time - still saving me a lot of time regardless - or I structure my prompts in a way that avoids these problems in the first place - by breaking the request down in to granular enough parts that I can pretty much predict how accurate the response will be (most of the time; very).

And in the scenarios where there is a bit of back and forth, trying different ideas and debugging in realtime - this is almost always a much faster (net) process than if I had done the same iteration myself.

As a point on usage and confidentiality, I don't use integrated coding assistants like Copilot - everything I do is sandboxed - so nothing confidential goes into the LLM. Specific details in my prompts are "anonymised" as I enter them (as in, I self-censor) - so I get the benefit of a lot of assistance from LLMs but with no sharing of any information that I would deem confidential. I plan to experiment with tighter integration into my workflow (eg. Copilot type assistance) with a private LLM instance at some point, but I'm comfortable with the balance of productivity and confidentiality at this point.

I do also have a Hammerspoon shortcut that will take the currently highlighted text in any app, and send it directly into OpenAI's endpoint. So I can highlight a mixture of comments and/or code in my IDE and immediately send them to GPT-4 and have that highlighted text replaced (or appended to) by the response. This gives me contextual assistance without having a constant live feed into a proprietary LLM ala Copilot.
I have a gmail account which google one shows, it along with a username has been leaked on dark web, but haveibeenpwned shows email was not found in any data breach. How is that possible?
Sure, no one is complaining about “high levels of natural competition.”

They’re concerned about an extraordinary level of artificial competition that is causing kids and adults to kill themselves, extremely high care prices, and extremely low quality of care.
Not all concepts from YAML map 1-to-1 to TOML, and vice versa, so this won't really work as it's a lossy process.

Using a restricted subset of both could work, I suppose. But seems a lot of hassle over a minor issue.
The more important question would be why does your web browser _ever_ need to be aware of your motion sensors?

Come and revisit history so we can follow the journey of the CNCF founders.
The concept of an innate, universal language that Chomsky came up with is almost certainly true, now whether that universal language contains information regarding what we call ethics, that is an open question
From the text, feels like user agent should be capable, it should let site request sensor data and randomly reject certain requests after X (random) seconds, while providing fake data in other cases.
I think he's making two slightly related points.

1) That while it's possible to talk about moral relativism in the abstract, nobody in their own life is a complete moral relativist, which is to say that they will have _some_ moral system that they live their life by, even if they completely recognize the arbitrariness of it.

2) Moral systems have large degrees of freedom, but they _are_ constrained, and he thinks some of those constraints might be innate. For example, while all forms of violence can be approved of in some society, it's always _conditional_. You could _imagine_ a moral system where arbitrary extreme violence against anyone and anything including yourself and your family would be perfectly moral, but you won't see that in any real society. There are always some conditions under which violence is acceptable.
Why would you judge someone based on their profession? By that logic discussions on HN should be limited to only those areas where someone is a known expert.

Your comment seems suspiciously like an ad hominem attack, which is normally a sign of a weak position, and lacking a strong argument. Would you like to have another go?
I’m still intrigued by the fact that the universe has at least one mind (mine), and that it appears to have many more (you), and that throughout history it asks:

MISRA is at best a glorified style guide and short for misra-ble. I have yet to actually see MISRA do much to prevent bugs.

I haven't used SPARK and Ada to be frank, so perhaps they are even superior in their ability to catch bugs with static analysis, I have heard great things. It's something I've been meaning to try.
Not much to be gained by adding that, as verbs in biblical Hebrew have either past or future tense (past in these cases).

In this context, the term is "invented" to explain why past tense is used to describe events that haven't happened yet. This is more about Bible studies than it is about the actual Bible, so quoting the actual Bible won't add much.
Nobody with an effective countermeasure is going to share it, or even let you know it exists.

I've worked in many analytics projects across a number of companies as a consultant. I'm a big believer in "decision support systems". Find out what decisions your customers need to make, repeatedly, to their job. Quantify the heuristics and visualize that information (and that information only) in an easy to consume manner. More often than not that's an email or PDF. Another advantage is that by supporting the business users they feel less threatened by the changes or technology.

I think "self-serve" analytics is silly, the idea that you put all of the data in front of people and they'll derive "insights". That's not how normal people or data work. We just had a discussion on HN the other day about Facebook's Prophet, and its pitfalls. Meanwhile we expect Joe in sales to be able to identify useful trends on a chart he made. Every company needs to forecast, regardless of their sophistication. That stuff needs to be defined by the right people and given to the users.
There’s a class of truths whose source is our belief in them, i.e. they are true, because we believe they are true. E.g. in most countries there is right-hand traffic, which is true based on people’s belief that it’s true. Of course it’s written down in law, but the only reason this law has this much power is because people believe in it. Similarly Europe exists, because people believe it exists. But none of those things are lies. They’re no less true than the fact that water boils at 100°C. In case of traffic you may even check the full power of human belief by driving in the other lane. ;)

(There was some clever Latin/Greek epistemological name for it, but I’ve forgotten it.)
I agree; it's annoying that Big CI/CD decided to make YAML the standard for declaring pipelines. YAML is so friggin fragile!

Just because you dislike the author doesn't make the historic subject at hand wrong.

The signers of the declaration knew going into it that they were signing their own death warrants should the revolution fail. It's also famously why John Hancock made his signature comically large. Big or small he knew he was going to die if the fight failed.

Don't let your anti americanism get in the way of some American historical trivia.
I don't think it's obvious that those traits, e.g. not stealing, are universal or part of some fundamental moral grammar. It just means they're common and widespread.
I've been a software engineer for decades and I still use it daily for that purpose.

It's like having superpowers. Even if I know how to do something, sometimes explaining it is easier than writing out all of the code. An example recently would be in a TypeScript project when a class-based approach to something was deprecated, in favor of a functional approach. I only had to paste the old function signature and say "convert this to an arrow function". That already is less typing, but after that I was able to paste the other examples and say "do the same with this" and they were all correctly quickly converted. Was it easy to do myself? Yes. Was it faster to do myself? No.

Or, I may not know how to do something. In a toy desktop project I had in C#, I wanted an image to fade to greyscale and then fade out. That, I had no idea how to do. So I simply told it that, and added "optimized for performance", and it gave me a function including a hard-coded object that instantiated an array of arrays with certain values. Where did ".3f, .59f, .11f" come from? I don't know, and that point I didn't care, because the whole thing worked perfectly on the first try. In this case, a project for myself, only the result mattered. I did go read the documentation later to see why that works, just out of curiosity. Plus, it explained it ... and was right.

Obviously I review the code and am careful what I send it, but if it's going to shave minutes off my day every time I use it, this stuff adds up.
The clocks were striking thirteen, and Winston Smith was irritated by a pop-up in the corner of his telescreen asking for permission to measure the room temperature.
Basically, it is speaking of the future as if it had already happened, as if it was the past. The idea being that the prophet had seen into the future and was writing about it as if it was history that had already happened in the past.

Imagine someone in the late 1800s writing "and two towers of New York City were hit by two large metal birds, one to one tower and another to the other tower, and both towers collapsed". They are writing about future events as if they had already happened.
Chomsky is a provocateur. The currency he measures is attention. There’s some interesting things that he has to say, but ultimately, not worth getting your blood pressure up over.

It’s good to critique the US or the west - you cannot improve without dissent. Fortunately, Chomsky is in the US and enjoys unimpeded speech and academic freedom.
Same as webUSB, webGPU, etc. - to allow for web-based applications that make use of motion sensors without having to develop a full-on mobile application. A good example was the Stadia flashing software which is just a website that uses webUSB.

I'm not sure this is good advice. Many want to show usage info when there's an argument error, and you want to reuse the help code with minimal complexity.
I'd be more convinced by a technical argument, than this appeal to "personal agency"

Is there no value in following a convention?
Current AI is deeply rooted in probability and statistics, so it would actually increase the use of statistics.

I'm not saying a false positive or a false negative cannot happen. I am saying that we would have better estimates of both, according to probability theory.

Also: false positives and false negatives are basically impossible to prevent, for a sufficient small margin of error. And that's science.
It would not limit you to just SSDs, the m.2 connector on the rk3588 devices generally exposes 4 pcie lanes and an adapter to make this a full pcie slot is already available. So really an m.2 nvme connector is the best of both, you can turn it into any other pcie connector you want via an adapter, but you can just put an nvme ssd directly on the board without a hat.
Mainly cost. I also don't mind the insane performance of bare metal :)

My laptop beats my PC in boot times, but also has a tendency to freeze/panic whewn switching to GDM, and when I force reboot it'll freeze a few times in a row and then work again (it's either an Nvidia problem or an Intel problem, but I don't get any stack traces because the display is frozen). 10th gen laptop versus 7th gen desktop seems to make quite a difference.

Linux definitely can be fast, but in my experience it starts slowing down as you install more services and tools, and I'd need to reinstall and reconfigure from a clean slate to get back to normal speeds. I can make it quick again ny disabling a ron of services and features, but that just slows me down later in the process.
If you make it illegal it vastly limits the potential for things we could do, that may not have been thought of yet. It stifles innovation.
They're using different data sources.
I guess I was trying to elucidate the uncomfortable feeling that OP had about "Logos" being lumped in with the rest. I'd say that it's worth weighing up on a case-by-case basis whether the need to persuade overrides the value of respect for others.

When my dad saw a queue of tourist cars on a weekend around half of the ring of the capital city he said that if this really causes global warming, this must be banned immediately.
“My own concern is primarily the terror and violence carried out by my own state, for two reasons. For one thing, because it happens to be the larger component of international violence. But also for a much more important reason than that: namely, I can do something about it. So even if the US was responsible for 2% of the violence in the world instead of the majority of it, it would be that 2% I would be primarily responsible for. And that is a simple ethical judgment. That is, the ethical value of one’s actions depends on their anticipated and predictable consequences. It is very easy to denounce the atrocities of someone else. That has about as much ethical value as denouncing atrocities that took place in the 18th century.”

Morality is a mechanism that helps with following some rules within a society without spending excess resources on enforcing them. It evolved in small groups (in comparison to the size of societies today).

If you accept this view on what morality is then it's pretty obvious there ought be some universal rules as human groups have a lot in common and some rules universally help with survival of a group. "Don't kill your peers" is one example. "Don't take their property without their consent or some process" is another although it can only arise in groups advanced enough to come up with the concept of property. Then there is a whole set of rules related to sex and reproduction which are again pretty universally needed for the group survival but can be established in various way - there more than one solution giving a chance for group's survival unlike in "don't kill your peers" case.

I am yet to meet a fundamental moral relativist who claims we can adopt any rules we please but a position that there are many set of rules that arised to help with the purpose of group's survival is both common and imo obviously correct. There is in fact an underlying mechanism for moral rules (group survival) which those rules stem from in one way or another. There might be better or worse set of rules and they might be different depending on environment a given group exists in. "Don't kill your peers" is going to be there but "Don't kill the weakest members of the group so the resources can be saved" not necessarily so.

It seems to me that Chomsky is arguing against a very narrow and strict definition of moral relativism here or I am not getting his point.

Because web developers are sometimes lazy and copy code and think it will and should work on all devices. It would take a whole `if` statement not to do it.
> ... Try to get through life considering the color of the traffic light you’re approaching as a subjective rather than objective fact. ...

You didn't consider what I wrote - colourblind people get through life without considering the colour of traffic lights at all. They have to. They are colour blind. The colour of a traffic light as a practical matter is a subjective fact. In fact, the practical colour of a traffic light is more subjective than the philosophical take because at least philosophers can be convinced with a wavelength argument.
An example for the sensors is AR; I've built web-based AR experiences and the underlying toolkit usually requires some access to device sensors.

So you take issue with a couple of points, and your main argument against this is an appeal to authority: the suggestion that any dissenting opinion to your own clearly hasn’t read the “right” history books. Also you assert the source of this post must be some column which you are also demonstratively dismissive of, yet you don’t say why.

Have you conclusively dismissed all events stated in the article? It doesn’t seem your case is that strong right now.

So why don’t we try to focus on what’s your main dislike? Could you explain your reason for the reflexive desire to disprove? I don’t understand where the suspicion comes from. Why are you and others seemingly eager to dismiss these histories? What would be so troubling to you if it were true? I’m genuinely curious.

Personally I've never liked Wayfarers/Headliners (they also fit atrociously), so it's disappointing to see them take center stage here. At least the pricing is ok I guess? Fingers crossed for future models.
I don't believe that. I have traveled the world and very few people I know know about Chomsky.

I know a lot about Chomsky as someone who has studied parsers and natural languages a lot and I usually ask people I talk with if they know Chomsky so I can explain something I do.

People in Argentina knows Chomsky because he has always been Communist and an apologist of marxist dictatorships and regimes while a harsh critic of the West values and institutions.

Argentina has been a Marxist loving country for a long time. I was born in Spain and lived in Mendoza for some time. Argentinians also love to feel victims about everything that happens to them so they don't have responsibility on it so Chomsky message is powerful there.

I am not criticising Argentina, but describing it.

I'm not an armchair physicist, I'm actively working on my PhD in Physics.

Dark matter is the prevailing theory because it best explains our current observations. I'm aware that doesn't mean its right, and we don't have conclusive proof that it is.

There's definitely a problem with our current model looking at the Hubble tension, but the reason for that is still unknown.

So I love when armchair physicists come in and say dark matter is obviously wrong.
