Depends on what you mean by 'start from zero'. Haskell was born as a design by committee research language to serve as a platform for answering various questions in programming language research, including a lot of questions about the effectiveness of laziness. As such Haskell without laziness would not be fit for purpose.

Some people on the other hand want to say that the research part is 'done' and that Haskell should move on and become just another language suitable for use in industry and production. And some of those people think that laziness should be relaxed.

Show HN: Unblocked – Get answers for questions about your codebase
Hey HN, I'm Dennis and I'm the founder of Unblocked.

Unblocked provides helpful and accurate answers to any question about your codebase.

When a project and team gets big enough, one of the most time consuming parts of building software is understanding the entirety of your codebase — how it works, why it was written, and works the way it does.

Based on our collective painful experiences of countless hours in meetings, dealing with interruptions and digging through obsolete documentation while building software at companies like Microsoft, Amazon, facebook/Meta and Apple… we created Unblocked.

Unblocked provides helpful and accurate answers to any question about your codebase.

Our goal is to help you get the information you need so you can maximize the time you spend writing code.

We (securely) connect to the data sources teams use to talk about their codebase - source code providers, bug trackers, documentation/wiki systems and messaging platforms and expose the information we think might be helpful to you in your IDE, our dashboard and our macOS app.

Unblocked is a lot more than a wrapper around GPT4. Here's how we collect and
analyze your provided data:

Document-type specific chunking techniques:
Source code doesn’t chunk particularly well at the line-level. For example, an LLM needs surrounding context to understand relationships between classes and their methods to answer higher level questions about code.

Local context:
Early generative apps like ChatGPT have no concept of what you’re working on right now. Unblocked helps short-circuit this process by leveraging our tight IDE integration to infer local context.

Reference generation:
We’ve found that citing reference is important to help customers gain confidence in Unblocked’s capabilities. Using a handful of in-prompt and output-chain techniques, Unblocked is able to accurately reflect which reference documents were used by the LLM to answer questions.

On data privacy and security:
No 3rd party models are trained on customer data
For Unblocked’s own models, which we use for component classification tasks, each customer gets their own fine-tuned model, no sharing
Authorization checks at network, API and data layers to enforce data isolation
Per-team keys to encrypt secrets and data

I’d love for you to try out Unblocked. You can get started here: http://www.getunblocked.com/

Please give it a spin and let me know what you’d want to see improved!
I love how they clearly state their goals at the beginning. This makes it immediately clear what it is about. Especially an importantly:

"Non-Goals"

"Change the way the Go team works or make them change their decisions."

Not every project (and very much not every fork) is a political statement against the original. Sometimes people are glad what others do and want them to continue. Still, wanting their own different version to coexist is completely OK.

The same as when political satire is indistinguishable from actual politics. It means that the real things has sort of become a joke itself.

The courts are bound by the law arent they. Ie what is stated in the law is illegal, and anything else is legal.
> Until OKd, office work is required, even when teams are elsewhere.

This is the one I find baffling about RTO. I know plenty of people who have been dragged into offices where they have no team members. So they are just on Zoom at a desk in the office rather than at home.

I know of one guy where the company set up a local office for him and another person (who is not on his team), so they could be the two people in their office in their city.

I did it for the last few days of my prior job. Was dragged into the office when all my co-workers were at least 3.5 hours away.

Even if all the supposed benefits of in person are accepted at face value, none of that allows for them.
I had no idea there was such thing as an improper suffix.

Here's a quibble-free parser which returns a tail which is neither a "proper suffix nor a suffix".

earlyTerminate c = Parser $ \s ->
case s of
[] -> Right (s, ())
(x:xs) | x == c -> Right ("", ())
| otherwise -> Left "Not a terminator"

> although considerable care would be needed with backtracking

No shit. Show your example.

Yeah, the part about gaming the system may not actually apply.

Now, bloated software is still bloated software, even if it's open. I guess that with the sources the community can make it better, but there's still a limit to how well they can do: the hardware interface itself. It's a long tradition in hardware design to ship crappy interfaces and just say the software folks will make it nice. But if all you ship is the hardware, the interfaces have to be nice, else it will be harder to program for, and that definitely influences the ultimate success of the platform. See game consoles, I believe those who have a reputation of being hard to program tend to sell less (because they have fewer or worse games).

Super lazy comment. SQL databases got JSON handling. NoSQL databases added indexes and ACID compliance.

An entire new class of databases that operate identically to existing ones with the exception of a single column type is silly, it's only getting traction because of aggressive VC-funded marketing.
Right, as I said it’s a mature industry. I feel like you just added to my point.

Also I said in my comment it’s pennies per play. Ask a moderately successful writer how much they make on chatGPT. Oh wait it’s zero.
I think this model is wrong. The so-called understanding is a realized pattern matching that comes from deep memory of many things. I have a very good memory (I recall my car's VIN) and it mostly comes from practice at reading large volumes of material.

Understanding came rapidly for me as I grew up - arising primarily from seeing repeated patterns. Isomorphisms are natural to pick up once sufficient data is shoved into the mind.

I will try the same with my children. The real lack in the US is that most children here consume small quantities of information. The few who are pushed or permitted to push themselves succeed greatly.
Yeah, what is up with that?

That would be the first application of AI that I would use daily.
How can it be that so many people accept this kind of oversimplified thinking as valuable?

Most processes in humans are pretty complex. The processes in between humans at times even more so.

It does not make sense to model these processes with pre-elementary school mathematics. Sure, people will understand the models, but that still leaves them totally incompetent.

In that respect I much prefer religious models rather than pseudoscientific ones. At least there complexity is hoovered up under the concept of "mystery", and we try not to understand that.

I've been using primarily DuckDuckGo for over a year now, and while I agree that for most things it's on par with Google, it's much worse on obscure stuff and on regional stuff (Norway in my case).

That said, I think the parity on most searches is partially due to Google sucking more than it did. Often the thing I'm looking for isn't in the top 10 hits in either.

re: telemetry

We don't like it as well, just do not enable it :^

re: RAII

It is not possible to add RAII support without updating the compiler to call specific methods automatically, so currently it is not an option (as we are using unmodified official toolchain).

But the `g` register defined in Go is of great value, and we are making use of it to provide custom goroutine support, which means you can have custom allocator and scheduler for specific goroutines, so that you can have some of them with GC enabled and others not.

I'm open to the idea of voice assistants being useful with a sprinkling of AI, but not if I have to wait 10s+ for a response. They'll at least need to come up with a "waiting on AI" mouse cursor or something to show it's doing something. VS Code Copilot is kinda hit or miss whether it's thinking on the prompt (comments) you gave it or if it has nothing to add.

Asking Excel to "add a column averaging the last 3" sure seems a lot easier and faster than having to read the manual to figure out how to do such a thing. This could drastically simplify user interfaces.
Burning is not an euphemism here, thanks for mentioning it.

From Wikipedia:

>On 23 August, six tons of Reich's books, journals and papers were burned in New York, at the Gansevoort incinerator, a public incinerator on 25th Street. The material included copies of several of his books, including The Sexual Revolution, Character Analysis and The Mass Psychology of Fascism. Although these had been published in German before Reich ever discussed orgone, he had added mention of it to the English editions, so they were caught by the injunction.

Publishing the Mass Psychology of Fascism had him kicked from the German Communist Party before.

Another pretty random bit of information, i recently stumbled about his Sex-Pol movement in another context as the Mitrokhin Archive alleges that Arnold Deutsch (Recruiter of Kim Philby of the Cambridge five) was a follower of said movement.

It could also confuse users once more complexity arises because people often ask for contradictory things when the constraints of the spreadsheet are not guiding them.
Came here to say that. I believe that AI assistance will make a big difference to many professions going forward—certainly any profession that has to deal with large volumes of information, whether it's education, knowledge, or red tape. But I wouldn't conflate that with copilot. I hope that open-source AIs eventually occupy that role.

I don't know about Copilot itself but I agree in general large language models will also bring a huge change like computers, internet or smartphones did. Large language models are still in their infancy as they get better and more people learn how to use them. They will bring a huge change to how computers/smartphones are used by the majority of the people not just the tech inclined. People that mostly use their computers/smartphones just tiktok Facebook and YouTube etc will use it for a lot more as the interface for computing for will change dramatically.

Hi, I'm Michael. Product developer. Formerly at Facebook and Flexport. Full stack, but recent projects have been more frontend focused. Preference for slightly boring problems that provide real business value.

the difference is, a motor would not be able to provide means of doing a crime that you don't already have.

an LLM could educate you in how to commit crimes, which you would have no idea about otherwise

but crimes in general are a bit of an extreme example in my opinion. a better example of risks of unmoderated LLMs would be something that isnt illegal, like for example, manipulating people.

a sufficiently advanced unmoderated AI could provide detailed, tailor made instructions of how to gaslight, scam, and take advantage of vulnerable people.

and unlike straight up committing crimes, the danger of these would be that there is no legal consequences and so the temptation extends to a way wider group of users (including, and especially, kids).
The difference is only two things: walled gardens and low confidence.

Most front end developers have absolutely no idea what they are doing now. They struggle is about putting text on screen and needing frameworks larger than a circa 1998 web browser to do it. Yes, React and Angular only solve for one problem: put text on screen. On the flip side there is opportunity to make a lot money cleaning up that mess with jobs in A/B testing, test automation, accessibility, and so on.

The difference with walled gardens is that there is frequently less a direct correlation between a web address and the content that appears at that address. Frequently that is due to either telemetry and/or login state.
