Fair enough.

What if I need to program in Java, not JavaScript (because it is a requirement of the project)? What if I need it to not be PWA (because some of the libraries are native-only)? What if I need to add in-app purchases (because it is our business model)?

Does changing "want to" "need to" make a difference? It shouldn't.
Genuine question, as I didn't use LLMs much:

Sure, they're good for quick prototypes or even launching production grade services.

But what about maintenance? What about fixing issues in legacy software?
This is the most advanced rocket ever built, far superior to anything any government has ever created. It’s a technological marvel and represents progress for the entire species.

You’re depriving yourself of the opportunity to appreciate a once in a lifetime event because some news outlet told you you should dislike the guy who built it.
These are cases of AI being super intelligent in narrow fields. For now, they're not AGI, but I do expect these abilities to be possible to integrate into generic, multimodal AGI's within our lifetime, and maybe this decade.
Facebook is a threat, but not as much as TikTok.

For one, FB data is with the US. While tiktok data is with China.

In the US, there is still some regulatory framework to punish privacy missteps, ask companies to change stuff, etc.

Try doing that in China. Also, China is an existential threat to Nepal.

You've missed the point from the example. We can remember complex things when they are close. And even forget common things. GPT can help with both cases.
> I've used Debian, but the installs feel so barebones. I love that Ubuntu has many of the common packages I need, yet it doesn't feel bloated.

Then install the packages you want? If it's not in Debian repos then yeah that's compelling, but otherwise you're describing one extra apt-get command (per OS install) that you stick in your notes and reuse every few years.

A new website for 2020 (2020)
A lot of this article and many of the comments here don't really comport with my experience programming and designing programs. Many or all of the examples in the article seem like toy programs meant to do something relatively straightforward/simple with loose constraints, but in a domain or using tools unfamiliar to the programmer. However, many programmers find themselves in the opposite situation: using tools they're familiar with to solve complex problems with hard constraints. It's in that kind of situation where I've found that GPTs aren't much of a game changer.

Many of the top comments voice a hated of programming--that programming gets in the way of creating. For a certain set of problems I completely agree (like why is making a website so damn complex), but for many of the problems I work on there are a wealth of good, helpful tools and APIs such that the writing of the code melts away and I'm left with the intellectual challenge of organizing my thoughts and thinking creatively. To me, the article and some of the top comments tell me more about the problems they choose to tackle than the act of programming itself.
I still have an x131 that I use whenever I need something portable. running openbsd. it sleeps flawlessly, has three physical buttons, an actual ethernet jack. It's pretty great. The only problem was the radio, and that was mainly a problem because of lenovo infernal radio whitelist. It is not enough to get a radio that works, you have to get a radio from lenovo that works. still bitter about that. but I found a lenovo branded intel card and it has been smooth sailing for more than... ugg, ten years now, probably closer to 15. makes me feel old. But still a damn fine little laptop.
At the peak of construction, Levitt was building one house every 16 minutes. Each house cost around $8,000, a price that was reduced to about $400 with GI bill benefits

Absolutely insane amount of coordination and individual mission operations for each one simultaneously. I don't think enough gets said about SpaceX's launch integration systems.
There's places where writing bad shitty code doesn't matter but frankly I'd rather be at places and rather have colleagues and an environment where we don't write bad shitty code.

The attempts to circumstantially excuse away shitty answers goes against the desire to just not be shit.

The author here seemed able and willing to talk through constraints & issues. Their first paragraphs practically begged for it, as a sign of maturity. Rather than just excuse away shitty solutions, my hope is, even if you are not a super competent can-do coder, you at least can talk through and walk through problems with people that are trustable, to arrive at reasonably competent capable answers.

I've never heard it IRL but I absolutely love this sound, also from back then when the Space Shuttle launched. IDK why, but it is just such a perfect sound to me. As if it were the best indicator of the tremendous amount of energy being released there.

The transition to EV will hurt the dealerships in the long run.

Not much you can swindle out from a customer if all that the car has is brake fluid, AC unit, a motor, a battery and chips.

I also suspect that diagnostic systems or helpers will allow regular users to troubleshoot their car themselves, and become more immune to swindling by service centers.

No wonder they dont want to sell EVs
OP's solution seems a little clunky to me. He does this thing where he loads the first day into a hashmap, and then he queries it as he loops over the second day. But why? That just overcomplicates your algorithm, and the memory used by O(2) days is roughly the same as O(1) days. It's also overly specialized to solving the very precise problem that's posed in the interview; what if tomorrow Big Boss wants you to aggregate over 3 days?

A cleaner solution would be to load both days 1 and 2 into the same hashmap. Then you can iterate the map and count whatever condition you want.
But, for example, I probably couldn’t have written a spell checker myself forty years ago. Now, something like aspell or ispell is just an of the shelf library. Similarly, I couldn’t implement Timely Stream Processing in a robust way, but flink makes it pretty easy for me to use with a minimal conceptual understanding of the moving parts. New abstractions and tools raise the floor, enabling junior and mid-level engineers to do what would have taken a much more senior engineer before they existed.
> If I can be so bold as to chime in, perhaps "fundamentally flawed" because it's design means it will never be more than a very clever BS engine.

How is your fellow human better? People here seems to spend a lot of time talking about how much their average boss, coworkers, juniors are ass. The only reason I know that ChatGPT is based on a computer program is how fast it is. I wouldn't be able to tell its output (not mannerism) from a junior's or even some "seniors'" programmer. That itself is quite impressive.

With how much time we've spend on the internet, have we not realized how good PEOPLE are at generating bullshit? I am pretty I am writing bullshit right as this moment. This post is complete ass.
But how are they getting into the account to begin with? Enabling PGP would prevent at least one method of password reset and they wouldn't get as far as the settings screen.

You could make the same case against 2FA. Most sites don't require email verification when you enable it. Someone with your password could lock you out by adding a TOTP app. But I wouldn't consider that a vulnerability. It is, if anything, a consequence of not locking down the account in the first place.
Does "children are killing each other because of what they saw online" sound more like a real thing or more like a moral panic to you?
This is a very shallow take on a nuanced topic. Frankly conversations with friends that sound like: "$THIRD_PARTY is successful and I am not. Why don't I get recognition" doesn't require a work relationship at all and is an unhealthy line of discussion regardless.

You can definitely find some meaningful relationships at work. You should definitely manage boundaries and you shouldn't expect a friend for life in most cases. By the time you entered the workforce you should have had some practice honing these skills.
Interesting.. according to https://community.fly.io/t/fly-gpus-are-here/16110, these machines use Cloud Hypervisor. I wonder what makes Cloud Hypervisor play better (vs Firecracker) with GPUs
If you're interested in exciting hard sci-fi about mining the asteroids and the moon, check out Daniel Suarez's compelling novel Delta-V and its recent sequel Critical Mass.

Another profitable industry besides mining could be setting up nursing homes on the moon, where wealthy elderly folks could live fuller lives due to the reduced gravity. Yes, the idea of this only being available to the super-rich (at first) is nauseating to me too, but if it provides the source of funding to establish sustainable moon bases, that would be incredible, and other industries could follow afterwards, including e.g. new sports leagues such as low-gravity basketball and soccer.

Eventually, enough people would be living on the moon as helpers for the wealthy folks and athletes that eventually there would be so many working-class people on the moon that secondary and tertiary industries would spring up to provide products and services for the working-class people. Soon enough it would become profitable to farm crops on the moon (for lunar consumption), build products on the moon (for lunar consumption), and more.

We'd eventually get to the point where a lunar nation could have positive GDP and be economically self-sustaining. It would be a trade partner with the terrestrial nations, and be the first new nation to step beyond Earth. Generations of people will get married and be born there, and humanity would be a step closer to settling the cosmos.

I don't work for them, I just really like their products and own about 10 of them. Downside, the documentation is rudimentary so you should enjoy steep learning curves (but not too steep - The ESP-IDF and MicroPython docs will get you through most problems).

Yesterday I asked chatgpt to write me some boilerplate and it did. I went through the exercise of using it, find some bugs, pointing them out, and fixing them (with help, or on my own).

Today I asked a similar question and it gave me boilerplate. Then it ran the code. Then it noticed the error, then it fixed it on its own. All without me typing anything at all.

I pointed that out to someone, and they did not appreciate that it has quickly gained the capacity to test if what it says is true, at least in some limited sense. I'm in awe.

At any rate, I think yes, you plug in code and ask it questions and it can answer them, over time answering them better. Since i've been using it not only can it execute code, but can generate test cases and test _data_. I think wrt to legacy code, it could come up with tests and refactoring strategies.

More generally though, AI is coming. And with it, the ability to write better code than even the best of us. That maybe a year or 50 out, I"m not sure. But its coming. And with each passing day, I move the "when" more into my lifetime.
If SpaceX wanted profit, all they need to do is team up with Lockheed/Boeing, jack their prices up 100x fold and start waiting for that sweet taxpayer dollar to come rolling in. Getting prices as low as Starship is going to achieve is not a straight forward path to profit. It's like taking an industry dominated by Geo Metros being sold for high end sportscar prices, and then introducing a car that runs like a high end sports car and selling it for Geo Metro prices.

The only way they start making meaningful profit from what they're doing is basically if the exact opposite scenario of what you're implying comes to pass - that space becomes so completely accessible and utilized that they win by scale. And that's the exact opposite of 'mega yachts.' This is explicitly about exploration, colonization, mining, and more. This is about actually opening space to the human race, beyond relying on multi billion dollar toy expeditions, for the first time ever.
There are multiple startups that do this specifically with the GPT-4 API today.

African American GIs, who served with honor in World War II, could work on Levittown construction crews but could not join the hordes of people pressing into Levittown rental and sales offices.

Some programmers like the idea of making a profit. Apps facilitate this.

IIRC the van had a camera mounted on it and was in the exclusion zone where no actual human beings were allowed during the launch. In other words someone deliberately risked their property to get a good camera angle.

From the article:

> You can’t just say to the A.I., “Solve my problem.” That day may come, but for now it is more like an instrument you must learn to play. You have to specify what you want carefully, as though talking to a beginner.

It’s easier to explain “solve this common problem you’re already familiar with” or “create a prototype with pretty flexible specifications” but if you can break down and explain a problem to a rubber duck[1], you can explain it to GPT4, and it’s a better conversationalist than the duck

I dislike trackpads, and use pointing sticks (or external mice, or trackballs) instead. (I know, I'm extremely picky on my input devices.) The first thing I do with a new Thinkpad is disable the trackpad, and then I never think about it again.

FWIW, I've noticed knock-off replacement keyboards consistently have awful pointing sticks.
> Officials in San Francisco raced to clean up city streets, squelch crime and burnish the city’s reputation before world leaders arrived this week, treating APEC as a critical opportunity to tell a new story.

Clearly the citizens should figure out a way to have a constant stream of world leaders visiting for various reasons. If they can set up an event every month, they should be in good shape.
There really is a difference and I just told you what it was. You're fitting the facts to suit your believe rather than vice versa.
I have a crazy idea that would vastly improve modern laptop design. You would build in some sort of a reversible conduit interrupt device (may be lost tech but I hear rumors that it's possible) that would allow the end user to disconnect the battery. This would solve the #1 problem with laptops which is that sometimes I need to use the laptop and it's out of battery because it decided to turn itself on in my bag.
You still need to rotate tires pretty often.

You have a point, but the world has to move on from oil.

In the apps I write, that very well may be the case.
Also many of these programs described in the article have been built many times before. This is effectively like saying programming will die because you can download programs off of GitHub.

The "making flappy bird with GPT-4 in 30 minutes" YouTube videos are fun to watch, but I'll do more than raise an eyebrow when someone releases a novel video game on Steam written primarily by GPT-4 in a fraction of the time a human alone could have.
> The only way to have an LLM where data and instruction never meet, in my view, is one that doesn't update in response to prompts (and therefore can't carry on a multi prompt conversation).

Do you mean an LLM that doesn't update weights in response to prompts? Doesn't GPT-4 not change its weights mid conversation at all (and instead provides the entire previous conversation as context in every new prompt)?

The ad ecosystem is pretty complex. While you and I have opinions about it, and Google's business model, the problem with the DoJ is: it does NOT have opinions about advertising. It doesn't seem to have a coherent grip on the WHY behind this stuff at all, it seems to forget that courts legislate all the time, that opinions matter.

Maybe instead of courtroom antics and bullshit about making Google look bad; and maybe instead of narrowly focusing on the case law and quote enquote winnable that's-how-the-law-works arguments... they should go and pitch a persuasive opinion on why any of this shit matters. Because they're leaving an intellectual vacuum to be filled by fucking podcasters, all but guaranteeing the DoJ will lose.

In the past fortnight it has started showing other adverts, perfume I think.

Chinese Company Developing 64-core RISC-V Chip with Tech from U.S.
The headline is of course confused. The 64 core chips (SG2042, SG2044) use Chinese-developed THead cores. Only the 16 core chip (SG2380) is using SiFive cores.

> RISC-V extensions have compatibility issues, and the company had to develop a new chip to accommodate the final vector extensions, Liuxi told HPCwire.

Liuxi should be more accurate. RVV 0.7 is a draft version with absolutely zero expectation that it will be compatible with the 1.0 version. Freedom to make radical and incompatible changes from draft to draft is the whole point of having draft versions.

> The Chinese company Sophgo started as Sophon in 2016, developing bitcoin mining hardware. Sophgo was established in 2020 and was focused on developing A.I. chips. Sophon and SophGo merged in 2021 and shipped its first CPU, SG2042, in 2022.

If accurate (and this was after all filtered through a reporter), that's the first comprehensive explanation I've seen of the difference between Sophon and SophGo.
