I'm seriously trying to do this but I keep struggling with integrating AI. I find it's constantly messing up or just not understanding what I'm asking. Mind going in depth about how you integrated GPT4? I'm using go-pilot and I recently got a GPT4 sub but I find myself writing a very long prompt over and over until I get a general idea of what I could do.

Just for example I need to check for environment in js if it's prod, it did some statement like
(environment === 'prod' || environment === 'prod-blue etc etc.
I stripped it all down to just environment.includes('prod') lol.

Another is just say if you're dealing with an api that returns a string for 'true' instead of true. It wrote a huge function about this...

I agree that latency is important, the way in which you can type out things without spending extra time in delays can be a huge productivity boost,

One sort of analogy we can give is driving a car with good response time, even if the car is not having a good top speed, the acceleration we get when we push the pedal is enough to think we are going fast.

But throughput can also have a dominating factor, but its reliant on other areas, like typing out an already prepared article.

For operations that require thought, latency is important

An anecdote about Arma 3 Epoch mod.

Context: Arma is a milsim, and Epoch is a mod with basebuilding, where one can place a "frequency jammer" that creates a sphere around it where its owner can build a base (walls, doors, safes, etc), while others (non-owners) are prevented from building anything in the area.

A few friends and I played it for a while. Picked a server, built a base there, did some missions or just random squabbles with other folks, eventually got bored (or distracted by life events), abandoned it all, then repeated on some new server after a few weeks.

One day we were on a server where someone had managed to glitch the jammer underwater - easy to reach but it was considered impossible to destruct as it was out of reach of available firearms and explosives. We realized there was only one in-game weapon that was capable of firing underwater (SDAR), and it had very small damage numbers. Being really stubborn and persistent, we spent over 24+ hours straight, working in shifts, shooting at that jammer, while watching out for the base owners to ensure they can't get anywhere close to open the repair menu.

Upon the destruction of said jammer and announcing the victory, we all univocally decided that enough is enough and we've fully completed the game. Haven't played Arma ever since.

I type no more 25 wpm with at least a 10% error rate, but I don’t have to think about it at all. But I have never been slowed down by typing latency. I spend half my day researching and half my day spacing out and the remaining 2/3 of the day in meetings and still get more done — with fewer lines of code — than the average developer.
The vast majority of doctors, when presented with a patient asking such a thing, will do a 30 second "examination" (if you're lucky), then spout some platitudes about exercise being beneficial in moderation (which you could have gotten from a lifestyle magazine or a fortune cookie), then usher you out after 5 minutes so they can see the next patient waiting in line.

Unless you know the doctor personally, or are rich enough to see high-class private practitioners who will actually pay attention to you because of your money and/or status, that would be a gargantuan waste of time. Needless to say, I too am speaking from personal experience.
No one setup helped me either. What did help me was recognizing that I had a problem and actively changing things - like varying small setup changes like angle to the table. That was mostly enough to stop stressing always the same parts.
When I graduated I really struggled to find a job. It took 18 months and the first job I got was a small place. I was hired directly by the owner and I had one colleague. On the last day of the first week, the owner took me to lunch and said, "we are going to fire [the other employee] and you will do his job". I was gobsmacked. I quit when we got back to the office. Fire the other person if you want, but don't make me complicit.

What a shitty way to start my shitty career.
Sadly, I was going to say the same thing. I wouldn't even blink an eye if someone local told me this story. I've heard way worse, and I don't know anyone who doesn't have at least one story like this.
There is that small sentence in this report, which basically should end any discussions and disagreements about a come-back of nuclear power:

"With the price of renewables dropping precipitously, however, the project's economics have worsened."

No matter if you disregard the problem of storing nuclear waste for a couple thousand years, and disregard that no insurance company in the world will give you insurance for your project, and that from time to time you may cause parts of your country to become uninhabitable, etc etc - it simply longer matters.

You just can't beat renewables when it comes to long-term cost. Because they are... well, ...renewable.

In Germany, even with the conservative parties spreading FUD and sabotaging projects, we are now covering 50% of our power usage with renewables. Even the worst politics simply could not beat capitalism: Wind and sun provided for free by the Universe simply makes a good business case.

Over here, the biggest challenge now is that the NIMBYs are preventing new power transmission lines to get built to be able to distribute from where there is most renewable energy, the north, to where the biggest power consumption is, in the south. If we would quickly build this grid, we could be at 100% renewables in a couple of years.

In Germany, Bavaria is NIMBY heaven. They refuse to invest into the grid, wanted to keep running nuclear, but absolutely refused to have nuclear waste storage in their state. Instead they pushed for the states that have 0% nuclear to take their waste.

Also, in Germany the power market is regulated that the price must be the same in all parts of Germany. This is why the north is now finally starting to raise their voices because they are subsidizing the expensive nuclear from Bavaria. If we'd just cut the grid and disconnect Bavaria, our energy prices would instantly drop by 30%.

Given all that, the tendency in the US of "We want to burn more coal! We want to burn more oil! We want to burn everything we have (with the exception of our forests, they are burning down on their own now)!" from a distance really starts to look silly. Where does that strong desire of having to BURN stuff come from? ;)
Eh, a lot of the biggest, most successful/profitable tech companies are still rapidly developing new products, features, etc. For example, Google, Amazon and Apple are all still innovating pretty fast.

Lots of others have basically stopped shipping new products, new features, performance improvements, UX improvements, etc. But I think that’s frequently an undesirable state the company has gotten into, they’d love to be productive but have lost the ability.
Part of that NASA plan depends on people figuring out how to put Starship into orbit, how to refuel it in orbit, and then how to safely land it on its tail on the moon. These are three enormous technical challenges that I can't imagine being solved by 2026, even if all the dysfunctions at NASA proper were to disappear tomorrow.
I'm fully aware that they're people. That doesn't mean I'm obligated to stick up for them. If they're good, I would stick up for them even if they were a hyena.

> You'll always run into situations where the shape of data is not clear

If you're using typespecs, then I think the deficiency is with tooling. I think the language servers (like ElixirLS) were quite buggy for a while, but it's getting better at code completion and inspection. But if the type has no spec then you're in the same situation as any gradually typed language.
I always got the impression it was actually quite neutral. One day the employee was gone due to an unexpected external force. Neither the employee's nor employer's fault.

It is a lot less neutral to say an employee was "fired" or "quit"
but then one would need to invest lots of effort into improving team synergy and collaboration at the workplace. Isn't that a bit of a paradox?
Disagree. Extra latency of adding LLMs to a voice pipeline is not that much compared to doing voice via cloud in the first place. Improved accuracy and handling of natural language queries would be worth it relative to the barely-working "assistants" that people only ever use to set timers, and they can't even handle that correctly half the time.
AOL was made far after that and still exploded in popularity. Facebook today is approaching the level of mega AOL.

You can use it up to a point, but it's never going to be the natural way of using C. short/int/long are immediately available by default, the stdint types require an extra import and are more cumbersome. And even the most modern versions of the language are still distinctly unsafe.

> It's not a bad thing, it acts as a competency filter. Lousy Python, Javascript, PHP - it still works but lousy C will just crash and explode. That's a feature, not a bug.

Hardly. Lousy C usually silently corrupts your data (not to mention letting attackers control your computer), and often the authors never even realise it was wrong.
Because of either ignoring, willfully or otherwise, scaling laws. The relationship between price and size of most plants takes the form of:

Price(size) = fixed + K*size^b

Where b is almost always less than 1, can go as low as 0.6.

So building 6 small reactors will be more expensive than building a single reactor 6 times the size.

This is the difference between vertically scaling (bigger thing) vs horizontal scaling (multiple smaller things).

Horizontal scaling will almost always cost you more.
The interesting bit to me is that Apple has had a presence in Cork, Ireland since 1980.[1]

Even though they do have thousands of employees and even build Macs there, it does seem to be a tax haven.

> The main positive that I see is that typing no longer requires thought. I think of the code I want to write and it's transcripted onto the computer.

This. This is everything. Translating your thoughts to the computer efficiently is better than doing it quickly. It's not just for creating tons of code, it's for operating on your existing code without having to make space in your head for typing. Once typing happens automatically, your focus improves.
> ultimately if you do want to be shipping plenty of customer value (and/or tech debt reduction), it does take plenty of code to do so.

You can add features / value by only removing code.
I think the best analogy I can come up with is your kid touching a hot stove. You tell them not to, but they do anyway, and then when they learn that it really hurts, they stop doing it. Regulations are like that. Regulations are a SUPER hot stove. The employees at the insurance company want to touch the stove as often as possible. They get paid extra the closer they come to touching it. But, as more companies get burned by the stove for failing to meet the regulation's requirements, they learn that being in pain is bad. Then, they stop trying to touch the stove.

So this ProPublica article is great; they say to someone relatively important at the insurance company, "hey, the individuals you wronged are actually well-connected enough to get journalists involved" and the companies get REALLY SCARED, because step 2 after the newspaper article is published is every junior US Attorney in the country tripping over each other to cart them off to prison as quickly as possible. (OK, it's probably a fine. But shareholders do not like your stock when you are routinely fined, and CEOs are paid in stock. See why competent people might get involved when that's at risk?)

You can read this article as "evil companies are evil", but I read it as "evil companies are learning". There will be eventually a day when your entire claims packet is on the same website as your EOBs, and you can click a link to report a mistake. The companies will have to act on your reported mistakes, because a paper trail that says they did something illegal is super bad for the shareholders. It takes time, but journalism like this is what gets it started. If you feel depressed, don't. The system is slow, but the system is working. This is what we have democracy and a free press for!

Tim Berners-Lee’s contribution was not novel. Hyperlinking things had many parallel competing implementations.

Had he waited a couple of months we would have essentially the exact same thing with a different name.

TCP/IP and lower level protocols that connected everything together is really the boon. The protocols for how we exchange data on top were inevitable.

At some point you'll just have to accept that not everyone has the exact same tastes as you. Initially it was "don't force ligatures on me I want to be left alone", now it's "other people are forbidden from using ligatures because I might be forced to gasp glance at one in a video". Grow up!
What were the reason for the outages? If it is directly caused by lax testing and deployment practices, then yes what you are proposing makes sense.

But you said they were trying to keep the lights on. This reads like they were mostly doing bug fixes. They were not deploying new functionality? If that is the case, it means you got suckered into being a scape goat for a piece of ancient tech that no one cared about until it blew up. Your team are already looking for other jobs.
> if the system I'm using has excessive latency (more of a 90s problem than today) precision means even when I do mistype, I'm "feeling" it and backspacing, not seeing them (since they haven't echoed yet.)

Perhaps I'm just overly sensitive but if the input latency from keypress to echoing is consciously perceptible then I consider that already unusably slow. I can't imagine using a setup like that regularly. Special case being something like a slow SSH connection, where I do have to just "feel" it and proactively correct mistakes, but I fortunately don't regularly have to connect to servers more than about 200 mi away.
I don't know what your source is for the 2 ft number, as any predictions of future sea level are dependent on emissions scenarios. Further, sea level is local--that is, different areas of the world will experience different amounts of local sea-level rise in the future, based on regional conditions.

In south Florida, the estimated sea-level rise for the intermediate-high emissions scenario is approximately 5.5 feet by 2100. Attaining 2 feet of SLR requires an intermediate-low scenario. The high scenario results in 7 feet.

> I believe the vast majority of the Everglades are 10 feet or higher

The Everglades are 0-8 ft[1] above sea level and average depth of the water is 4-5 ft[2]. If that elevation is measured at the surface of the water, then it would only take a few feet of sea-level rise to contaminate the Everglades.

> Even for Miami, which is very elevation, I don't think we will see it underwater

Just my 2 cents :
The universe was smaller, and maybe a lot of stars created in the same region early after the big bang were unstable, transforming into stellar black holes and just merged to create these super massive black holes (SMBH).
I wonder the number of stellar black holes it takes to merge to create a SMBH.
Near the end of the paper:

Though the risk rise (26% higher) is low in individuals with a history of vigorous physical activity, there is a five-fold mortality rate increase in professional athletes (39). Vigorous physical activity likely increases glutamate excitotoxicity and oxidative stress, hastening neurodegeneration in individuals with a genetic predisposition for the development of ALS (38). Therefore, while the impact of marathon running in well trained individuals is null, for those with ALS genetic risk, disease vulnerable motor areas are impacted more on otherwise physiological myelin expenditure (e.g., corticospinal tract), as myelin itself and myelin-producing oligodendrocytes are also vulnerable to glutamate excitotoxicity as well (40).
I find that my typing is much better because I can constantly re-parse the sentence as I am writing it. With speech, I have to memorize what I've said instead, and that causes a lot more screwups.
> For example, Google, Amazon and Apple are all still innovating pretty fast.

I'd dispute that in general. And definitely if you mean amount of innovation per employee. They try random new things that either lives in its little corner, or gets killed in a couple of years. They sure have lots of churn and likely lots of lines of code flying around, but innovation...? There's two projects from Apple from the last decade that I'd call innovation. Amazon marketplace is static and AWS just gains new features that are mostly expected / business as usual. Google kills as much as it creates all the time.

I really don't think those are great examples of moving fast.
