I'm currently re-writing a GPT4 code which is a very interesting experience.

The biotech startup I join 3 months ago have a pipeline written by one of the founders, who has experience in programing but not extensive so he used co-pilot and GTP a lot.
The thing WORKS, it actually delivers! this is what got the startup going so it is amazing.

On the first month of the re-write I was able to cut costs in the 100x mark. And on the third month I was able to uncover some subtle bugs that affect the entire pipeline and fixing them is out of the realm of possibility in the current state of AI.

I have no answer whatever employers will continue to value what I bring to the table in 5/10/15 years time especially after AI will improve. I suspect many will not as they will have 'good enough' results from the AI.
What is discouraged is the solo devs making their first apps and the solo devs in poorer countries (but Apple lost those markets anyways). The scams and the useless apps have no problem paying a single 99$ bill.
> But I dont think revenue share is in anyway wrong or illegal.

It’s a thin line between revenue sharing, which is fine, and anticompetitive bribes to entrench your dominant position and extinguish competition, which is not. I am not saying that it’s the second case, but that’s what the DoJ wants to prove.
Where is it available?
I don't know if it is what you intended, but your comment comes across as really rude, and even if you don't care about politeness in the name of efficiency or effectiveness or what have you it fails on those grounds as well as it gives me nothing to work from in addressing your complaint.
Possible but unlikely. I mean programming in the "code" sense.

We all "program" computers every day (when you turn on a microwave, when you talk to Alexa, when you do a budget in Excel, or write a Doc in Word.)

Coding is not an essential skill. It's clearly a useful skill, its a valuable skill, but pretty much no-one in my real life can code. And from what I've learned teaching others most people -can't- code, regardless of education.

I fly to place all the time, but I outsource the piloting. Programmers both argue that coding should be learnt by everyone, and at the same time most that it's getting easier (and hence less valuable) to do it.
F9 was a much more conventional rocket. It's first party trick, the Merlin engine was iterated on heavily and destructively independent of the rocket. It's second and main party trick, the landing and reuse of a booster was definitely iterated on destructively many times before they got consistent performance out of it.

They're plan is to mass produce Starship and work towards operating them continuously like a 737 to space. Blowing up the first few generates great data for identifying problems and helps get that production line rolling.
> “flow of indecent materials“

Lmao. I only started using TT again recently. The amount of “thot” content is insane. Only after carefully engaging with interesting topics did its frequency decrease (yes, decrease. Not eliminates).

TT algo tries to sneak in a new thot creator every now and then.
When I hear "Zulu", it makes me think of Sid Meier's Civilization back when I first played it on my A500
Right, Renaissance is built on some smart people getting together in private and doing their work.

Dalio's appeal is the same as Cohen and Rajat because hype and image work around a bunch of easily conned geeks.

I'll go all in - Ray Dalio is a legally legitimate version of Lou Pearlman without the Boy Bands.

BONUS:

Ray's "be a prick and call it constructive" philosophy spread. I know this because I interviewed with Vari. FKA a startup known as VariDesk. Maybe some here know about it?

So they talked big about their new office furniture pivot - names like Goldman Sachs - and I did some research. You know, legit players in the business. This is Dallas. Serious money is here serious people are here. Well at Vari they are sure to mention they embrace the Dalio inspired communication technique...

"Oh? Honestly, they're not even on my radar - they're not even close to being a player. Their quality is awful and their SKU list? Nope, Goldman Sachs would laugh them out of the room."

So after Vari ghosted me I made sure to give them the legit treatment:

"Here in Texas, we would call your pitch a bunch of happy horse shit."
> As a city person, I don't really miss nature. I miss the city when I'm out of it.

Polar opposite here! I dread a landscape of brick, concrete and asphalt. Whenever I visit a large city I feel the need to escape as soon as possible. Large cities contain more people but less community than small centers, in which it's easier to get cozy with the people living around you geographically.
Not necessarily. Every hockey stick is just the beginning of an s-curve. It will saturate, probably sooner than you think.
Show HN: A Cyberpunk/Retro Matrix-Styled Terminal Chat App – Python and Tk
I've always been captivated by the fusion of retro and modern tech aesthetics. So, when I couldn't find a cyberpunk/retro-themed terminal app hooked to OpenAI's API, I decided to build one myself.

Introducing MatrixMind Chat – an application that revives the spirit of old-school terminals with a cyberpunk twist, all powered by the cutting-edge AI of OpenAI's GPT-3.5.

Built using Python and the Tk library, MatrixMind offers a nostalgic trip back to the 80s, yet with a dialogue partner from the future. It's a unique blend, combining the charm of retro-tech with the intrigue of conversational AI.

I've focused on creating an intuitive, minimalistic interface that resonates with the era of neon lights and pixelated graphics.

The project is open-source, and I'm keen on seeing how the community interacts with it, what creative uses you come up with, and of course, any contributions or feedback are more than welcome!

Check it out here: https://github.com/saurabhchalke/MatrixMind
Hello! I apologize for this being extremely out of context but five months ago on one of my comment threads you recommended Takayama Showa-Kan and I wanted to let you know that I visited it last month and loved it (and Takayama as a whole). Thanks again for the rec!
Two years ago we were quite a ways out from having LLMs that could competently respond to commands without getting into garbage loops and repeating random nonsense over and over. Now nobody even talks about the Turing test anymore because it's so clearly been blown past.

I wouldn't be so sure it will be very long before solving big, hard, and complex problems is within reach...
No.

Consider this simple example of cherry picking data (with made up numbers):

10 000 people every year suffer severe side-effects from vaccines.

If that's all you know it's logical to conclude that vaccines are dangerous.

But what they dont tell you is that vaccines are distributed to hundreds of millions and save the life of millions.

You need the full picture to be more informed.
> Because of this huge cut, Apple won't allow other browsers on their platforms, which is anti-competitive.

That’s not the case, though. What some people complain about is the fact that other browsers must use the WebKit engine, but there is nothing stopping people from putting browsers in the App Store. This is not relevant to this deal. The engine does not matter at all, what matters is the user base.
> Sending a 16oz bottle of water up to space on the Space Shuttle cost around $25,000. [1] Falcon Heavy brought that down to $700. Starship stands to bring that price down to as low as $5!

Wow, that's insane; as you said, I didn't even realize this leap is this vast! $5 for delivery of a bottle of water is barely more expensive than DoorDash or Postmates on Earth!!
Let’s be grateful it’s not high current
GPT4 code output is currently at the level of a middling CS student. This shouldn't encourage self-assurance or complacency because this is absolutely certain to change as LLMs with some deep learning will be constructed to self-test code and adopt narrow "critical thinking skills" to discriminate between low- and high-quality code.

Ultimately, the most valuable coders who will remain will be a smaller number of senior devs that will dwindle over time.

Unfortunately, AI is likely to reduce and suppress tech industry wages in the long-term. If the workers had clue, rather than watching their incomes gradually evaporate and sitting on their hands, they should organize and collectively bargain even more so than Hollywood actors.
No, Steve was a textbook sociopath and I'm glad that motherfucker is dead so he can't steal any more livers from deserving people.

Steve isn't really a joke unless you like "That isn't my daughter" and "Haha I conspire to keep wages down" and "fuck musicians I need a yacht" is comedy.

I can go on and on because I'm glad he never got to see that yacht. He was a cancer. Intellectual cancer.
Impressive for sure, but I have to admit that the first thing I thought it would be was the launch of the Apollo 17 lunar module: https://youtu.be/9HQfauGJaTs?si=2smTf9G3tomXPpot

Wife uses a mid-2013 Macbook Air as a daily driver still after >10 years, works in academia. What happened is simply that CPU stopped being the thing that made stuff slow, so a mid-2010s upper midrange can still hold its own today, ssd was already good then, and memory plateaued around 8gb for entry level machines some 5 years ago. So as long as your thermals don't suck, your ssd doesn't smoke out, and your keyboard holds up, you can still use these machines today. If you maxed out memory then, that is.
What domain do you work in that you never reference stack overflow?
In most real world systems increased efficiency leads to more demand, not less - barring physical constraints. Usually because we can now apply the _thing_ to way more complex scenarios. I predict way more software will be created per year and more complex software will exist and evolve at a faster pace.

Once you make agriculture more efficient we can't really eat way more than today so we need less people working there. But if you make software easier to write, I think you'll just end up with way more software because the complexity of human needs and processes is unbounded unlike eating food.

Also called the efficiency paradox https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jevons_paradox
The problem with that is not the math, it's that it's basically the same as patenting "elevators, but yellow" after elevators have been patented. It's not novel.
the amount of misinformation is insanely high on TT. From “news” to even specific trades (ie, construction, cooking, DIY).

I have had to carefully engage with only topics I am interested in else I get flooded with bs vids (ie, thots, “alternative medicine”, far right content, joe rogan, …)

For what it’s worth though, the content moderation is slightly better than other platforms. When I report dangerous videos (literally a person tailgating/road raging), the videos get removed pretty fast.

Not a half bad “status report” system either.
Similarly here, that is what made me leave the "Year of Desktop Linux" behind, and re-focus on Windows as the main OS.
At the moment, you can. I have two accounts (by mistake). However, I'm not sure what the purpose of keeping 2 accounts active simultaneously is ... if one is banned, the other will be too (so there is no point in safety by numbers).

In order for this progressive taxing scheme to work they would have to make sure each personal account is unique per person, and they are already increasing the requirements to verify your identification (all Android devs have to verify this information soon).
>The Tragedy of the Commons as an economical/social phenomena has not been debunked.

This was what I came here for too. I'm sure someone out there is more interested in the history of the phrase than the economics phenomenon it points to, but it sure isn't me. You could rename it the Doohickey, drop any historical precedent, and I'd still be very interested if someone said the Doohickey was debunked.
See I totally get your technique and report on this and thank you. I've done a write up on some free/pay dating apps and the tactics are definitely there. Like this is a community that knows what's up and still kinda skates around it.
That is an interesting reflection, which makes sense.
And it matches something I recently realized. In the west, what we call elite is not clearly linked to any merit.

I believe that what are considered elites got there not by being competitive but mostly in ways that are closer to what cheating is.
We are in an era of major stagnation in mobility for the lower part of the society precisely because the elite have been reproducing themselves and have shut down the competition by faking it and creating all kind of "standards" impossible to meet for peoples without the means.
I think immigration is just another cheat to prevent equalization. If we look at the distribution ok skills/competency of humans, it mostly follow a normal distribution, yet revenues are really not distributed like that...
I’ll never understand these big companies, they often seem to be allergic to money.
>Neither NATs nor firewalls were invented with the Internet, and it doesn't matter. NATs are a thing now.

Don't forget the context: we were talking about "removing NAT as an extra goal of IPv6," not "does it matter when was NAT invented".

So here I am reiterating my point again: It was never an extra goal, considering that IPv6 was designed in an era when NAT never predominated the internet.

>What's the big problem with NAT existing anyway,

Oooh no biggie other than breaking all sorts of P2P communication? It's so bad that we have to implement literal hacks like TURN and STUN on top of the hack that is NAT itself.

Or maybe we can talk about how it broke all sorts of protocols so badly that we to this day need application-level gateways[1] to help those protocols transverse NAT?

Or let's have some time to talk about how inefficient NAT is. You should know it requires computing power to track each connection flow and to maintain a state table for those flows.

>So it seems like ipv6 is about pushing default-allow behaviors onto network operators. Again this is pretty separate from the address space crisis.

What are you talking about? Default-allow and default-deny are both firewall rules. Even NAT (the "full-cone" or "endpoint-independent" ones) is prone to this, if a port is open everyone can connect to you through the IP:port.

I would say removal of NAT and addressing space is closely intertwined, but alas you seem to have pretty amateurish understanding of it.

Also, just in case you bring up your IPv4.1 again: all address space enlarging efforts will inevitably face incompatibility issues.

> Instagram doesn’t have an algorithmic feed that introduce you to content - not that I know of.

That is literally their default mode. They had to introduce a "For You" feed (hidden behind a tap on Instagram logo) to go around EU regulations.
> catching some Moon Poon at a brothel [is] going to be an industry that'll have people coming by the millions

I don’t know what laws apply on the Moon, but thanks to ITAR, Starship probably won’t be able to launch from outside the United States, which means any actual moon travel is going to be governed by US and Florida and/or Texas law. Neither of those states have legal prostitution, and while I’m not a legal expert, I suspect knowingly ferrying prostitutes to the moon might be considered a form of human trafficking. They shut down
Backpage for less.
Even 5 years ago I would have said the same but Google search quality has degraded so much that I don't think changing to another one would-be noticeable to the average user.
In the past they have done week long SSTV events, often over the Christmas / New Year period. They haven't had a long one in a while as the SSTV unit was malfunctioning, but just a couple of weeks ago they did a successful test so I think they might do another long one soon.

The broadcasts are very loud and you can pick them up with a basic hand-held radio using the provided antenna. If anybody's interested, get a radio capable of listening to the 2m amateur band (specifically 145.8 MHz), a satellite tracker app (eg. Look4Sat for Android) and preferably a way to record what you hear. Later you can decode the transmission with a program like MMSSTV or QSSTV. You can decode it live but I feel safer getting a good recording. The ARISS-SSTV images blog [0] is what I check to see when an event is coming up.

Bit of trivia is that the SSTV unit was brought up to the ISS by (or at least with) Richard Garriott, who created Ultima and sent out some of the first SSTV images.

Good riddance. I can finally get started on the massive stockpile of potential projects that I never had time for until now.

It's a good time to be in the section of programmers that see writing code as a means to an end and not as the goal itself.

It does surprise me that so many programmers, whose mantra usually is "automate all the things", are so upset now that all the tedious stuff can finally be automated in one big leap.

Just imagine all the stuff we can do when we are not wasting our resources finding obscure solutions to deeply burried environment bugs or any of the other pointless wastes of time!
> I have a feeling tiktok is probably more moderated and enforces stricter content rules than instagram

Respectfully, did you read the article? They had more real problems with TikTok's moderation.

> The Nepali government said that they had reached out to TikTok multiple times but the company declined to address their concerns about the content; Narayan Kaji Shrestha, the home minister, suggested a ban on the entire app since scrubbing offending videos individually would be too tricky, the New York Times reported.
They tame GNOME into being borderline usable with their default plugins/patches

Their default typeface is my favorite in the libre world

Some time ago they were the only ones with a patched freetype that didn't make your eyes bleed.

Before the snap fiasco they were all upside with no downside. I understand that they still are for a decent chunk of people.
A lot of the cultural movement on TikTok is Korean driven, or multi cultural, like the popularity of that Vietnamese See Tinh in Korea via a TikTok remix. TikTok is incredibly Asian, and gets lots of air from non-PRC Chinese communities (like mainland Douyin content on TikTok with traditional Chinese comments).
> Failing to even get the O(n log n) solution tells me that someone should never have graduated.

This is something I wonder about in my comment sidethread - to me, the natural solution is the O(n) one in O(n) space.

I see that the O(n log n) solution requires O(1) space to run. But it requires O(n) space to return a result! Is that actually better than O(n) time and O(n) space?
I would guess because Pixar. And Dall-E.

Love how he goes, he does not like tricky questions and first thing he describes is a trick hidden in the question designed specifically to fool candidates.

Yet he still thinks it is not a tricky question.

But great article and I learned something from it.
> I’m horrified to contemplate what everyone else would have to do.

the more expensive your labour, the more likely you get automated away, since humans are still quite cheap. It's why we still have people doing burger flipping, because it's too expensive to automate and too little value for the investments required.

Not so with knowledge workers.
Once upon a time I had a hobby growing mushrooms of various types. One day I tried an experiment; I placed little bags populated with oyster mushrooms at various distances from my Wi-Fi hub, a bag about each 15cm or so. After the expected grow time, I had successful growth at the farthest distance of perhaps 2m. However, up close to the base station, all of the bags within 1m or so showed no growth whatsoever. Most notably, there was no contamination, no mold that was visible, and none of the desired oyster mushroom growth. All the bags within one meter were basically sterilized.

So there is certainly a way to say "do not grow". If anyone works out the opposite encoding, I am sure there will be a lot of interested parties who would like to speed up their growth processes.
Computer models are not necessary to do science. Isaac Newton managed perfectly well without them. Just because an analysis is qualitative rather than quantitative doesn't make it unscientific.

I've met more than a dozen native Nepalese men and women here in Texas. I've learned lots of names. My closest friend, N, gave me prayer beads to help me keep my path toward healing.

To look at Nepal as an outsider is like dropping a senior citizen lifer from Pittsburgh into McAllen Texas and telling them good luck.

In a lot of regards, if Nepal is considering a different tactic, somewhat like the French do versus the US "break shit & profit & then go to therapy or take pills" approach...well, honestly...

Texas to Bosnia to Nepal is my 2024 tour plan because I'm kinda over this shit a little here.

Here is the controversial take from my perspective:

All these AI replacing coders and creatives is just a broad marketing campaign to put downward pressure on dev and creative salary.

We could've said the same thing back when Code generation was popular. Or we couod say the same thing about stackoverflow, because a non-tech person can bungle together enough solutions from there to build something. Heck NoCode(TM) was putting coders out of job in last decade and here we are in 2023.

Compared to GPT's code-fu, most image generation models are light years ahead(imagine how those models can combine best of different artists into one painting), yet I still have plenty trouble describing in excruciatingly details about the painting I want with all the prompt-engineering-sauce and the end result is usually far away from desired state unless it is just normal sticker stuff.

Explaining requirements is hard, adapting to changes is hard, we still write tests and relatively every MR needs some fixes/updates and we have a whole army of management people trying to do the prompt engineering thing and we still have to interpret in between lines to get a piece of software(even basic CRUDs that makes millions), so yeah, it is all hype driven marketing catering to enterprise about saving all those money but in the end still spend more on the token count and prompt engineering and another army of people figuring out the right keywords to describe the product and whatnot.

All this things are mostly the same, it is like claiming that we'll habe quantum computers just like next year and any Joe rando can train their own GPT or crack open the SSL layer.

Don't feed the hype cycle of these marketers with ypur fear because more you engage on this, more their boat is lifted.

Show me a real product that was built/written by GPT and is making even few hundred in monthly revenue and I will be happy to change my mind.
