Hey Guys,

I am currently building on https://reportt.app and currently I am in a early research stadium where I want to get as much input as possible from possible users. So that is why I am asking this.

Would you prefer to utilize a feedback widget on your website that allows you to customize the fields users can fill in, or opt for a standardized format (such as feedback, email, file upload)?

Thankyou in advance,
Justian Spijkerbosch
> As a process it works. It's just 2x easier to write behavioral tests first and thrash out a good design later under its harness.

I think this “2x easier” only applies to developers who deeply understand how to design software. A very poorly designed implementation can still pass the high level tests, while also being hard to reason about (typically poor data structures) and debug, having excessive requirements for test setup and tear down due to lots of assumed state, and be hard to change, and might have no modularity at all, meaning that the tests cover tens of thousands of lines (but only the happy path, really).

Code like this can still be valuable of course, since it satisfies the requirements and produces business value, however I’d say that it runs a high risk of being marked for a complete rewrite, likely by someone who also doesn’t really know how to design software. (Organizations that don’t know what well designed software looks like tend not to hire people who are good at it.)
Can you elaborate more ? Is there a archive that exist but link is missing or the new owner will bring the site back.
I didn't work with Firebase myself, isn't this something relevant?

If they’re researching avenues other than LLMs, that money goes a lot further.

We can only hope.
Are you sure there isn’t just dirt in the port? Or a bad cable? I’ve consistently had luck cleaning gunk out of USB C ports and having them work like new.
Evem worse, masks work better for others than yourself. What came a bit as shock during COVId for me, was how little people cared for each other, that people couldn't even bothered with the smallest inconveniences to do something good for everyone. I am a cynic, but didn't that level egoism.

The replies don't make a ton of sense, did you change the contents of your comment?
If that's your biggest concern with AI, that's a perfect example of why we need ethics teams in AI companies.

All of these companies are building towards AGI, the complex ethics both of how an AGI is used and what rights it might have as an intelligent being go well beyond racist slurs.
Yeah but why did so many people take those guys so seriously before their work was replicated? Shouldn’t extraordinary claims be filtered early before we give them the time of day?
We should reject the false idea that it's either capitalism or communism. Capitalism is a crucial step for a society to take in order to be sufficiently vulnerable to fall for a communist revolution. Marx goes into great detail about this.
The prospect for building a self sustaining colony on Mars in the foreseeable future is essentially zero. And even the largest disasters on earth are unlikely to kill quite everyone.

So the most likely outcome of a metaphorical or literal asteroid hit on Earth is that it would still leave thousands, millions, or billions of survivors on Earth, while leaving it unable and/or unwilling to sustain maintenance missions to Mars, so the Mars colonists would starve or otherwise die slowly, despite being technically unaffected by the original disaster.
Yeah it's gatekeeping, to prevent them from fucking up prod.
Customers. Customers are the external accountability.
Don't back off from your original point, friend. It made complete sense.

The person replying to you probably wouldn't work for free or "exposure," would they?
This is more analogous to a company having an internal "not doing crime" division. I do mention in my original post that having specialist skills within legal or compliance to handle the specific legal and ethical issues may make sense but having one team be the "AI police" and everyone else just trying to build AI without having responsibility baked into their processes is likely to just set up a constant tension like companies often have with a "data privacy" team who fight a constant battle to get people to build privacy practises into their systems and workflows.
It’s been so incredibly depressing to see HN rally behind Altman and pretend he is some kind of god. Really giving me Elon vibes. Almost more depressing is the slavish devotion to profit above all else (implicitly or explicitly). People here talk as if it’s a forgone conclusion that the investors are in the right when it’s clear they only care for the money.

A lot of “rich people say it was a bad idea to fire him so it must be a bad idea”-type comments that turn my stomach a bit.

And through it all a minority, it seems, of people standing behind the board and the idea that pushing ahead as fast as possible or focusing solely on profits isn’t the right move. That’s especially galling given how many snide (correct but snide) comments I’ve seen over the months about how OpenAI isn’t “open”.
Berkeley Mono is also my favourite font. I use it in the terminal, editor and for my IDE.
It's a bit expensive, and I can understand if someone can't or doesn't want to spend money on it. I would recommend to check out the free fonts 'JetBrains Mono' & 'Hack' to these people.

Some people have already mentioned here that Berkeley Mono is not available as Nerd Font. I would like to briefly point out that Nerd Fonts provides a font patcher tool (https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts#font-patcher).
I am the last person to submit to political correctness.

However I ask you like I asked parent, why is their being Muslim more significant than their socio-economic status?

Again, I am not a fan of these hyper lax immigration policies either, but I know the difference between being critical of that and a pure hate for Muslims.
There is no argument about the situation itself. I'm pointing out that this reference is so obvious that the author might as well own their xenophobia. It's cowardly.

It rubs me the wrong way because if they said "middle eastern immigrants" the comments would likely get flagged and deleted (here and elsewhere), but they can pick a very obvious reference and then everyone can hop onto the xenophobia bandwagon with impunity.

My annoyance comes from the last few weeks of this, sponsored by the Israel-Palestine conflict and the waves it makes in German society. Everyone is brave enough to call for drastic measures against Muslim immigrants, but too cowardly actually name the group they refer to.
Funny you say that, I can tell from family experience that USB type A ports are quite fragile to a vertical tug as it breaks the internal plastic bar at its base so you're left with a hole full of floating copper pins. It of course requires more than a light tug, but less than you'd think.

The USB-C housing is much more rigid than that of type A, so it should handle this much better. The thinner bar might also handle deflection better by virtue of flexibility.

Also, hardware engineers know that ports are operated by drunk gorillas. Incorrect usage and odd forces are considered when designing a physical interface.
My name gives away my sex and ethnicity, my college graduation date my age, and on in-person interviews questions about family do come up, for example when inquiring about the willingness to relocate. I don't think hiring sites should ask for demographic information explicitly at the beginning, but much of it will be revealed anyway.
I think programmers are like writers.

Those who are good at it and love it don't simply retire. They just decrease their hours and continue their craft for as long as they have the health and energy. It probably leads to more healthy years to have something like this.
I read somewhere else:

> the answer is called Kyutai (pronounced "Cute AI" and meaning "sphere" in Japanese),
USB-A is only unsuitable for small handheld devices, but is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO less confusing than all others!
> Are they now to be excluded from participating in popular culture, if they do not wish to be subjected to obnoxious advertising?

I think they should pay their fair share and not expect us to give them stuff for free
Right now, Altman may be the most relevant for the further development of AI because the way the technology continues to go to market will be largely shaped by the regulatory environments that exist globally, and Sam leading OAI is in by far thr best position to influence guide that policy. And he has been doing a good job with it.

Are there any courses like this?

I feel you are being unimaginative and maybe a bit naive. I worked in biochemistry and used to eagerly anticipate the equivalent of free continuous integration services for wet lab work. It's here, just not evenly distributed and cheap yet:

These realities are more adjacent than you think. Our job as a species is to talk about these things before they're on top of us. Your smugness reveals a lack of humility which is part of what puts us at risk. You look badly
I bought it awhile back and switched a bunch of apps over to using it. I’ve had a few people comment while doing a screen share that my terminal/console/ide looks cool. I only use the stock themes on most things I use (Microsoft terminal, vs code, eMacs). They’re basically noticing the font but can’t place the difference ;)
I am in agreement when it comes to lax immigration policies.

Which spade are you not allowed to call a spade anymore? That "dem muzzlems" are a danger to society?
It isn't the user's responsibility to find a working business model for a corporation. The same principle applies whether it is a news web site or a free video hosting web site.

A business model based on taking away basic web browser functionality like being able to play videos in the background and removing unwanted content then selling it back to the user is a toxic business model. Anybody who pays for a blatant scam like Youtube "Premium" is part of the problem.
I don't read any criticism of capitalism because there is basically none. 99% of it is just people claiming that some abstract bad thing in human society is due to "capitalism" without any sort of argument that would actually rise to the level of what I would call criticism.
Another point is that inequality also drives petty theft, especially in the Middle Ages. People don’t tend to commit petty theft because they want to. For a modern example, see https://jacobin.com/2022/02/mainstream-media-news-shopliftin...

It's a much different story. And way more depressing.
It's used to shame people who say things while hiding behind plausible deniability. You want to complain about a group of immigrants? Go ahead, but own it. Stop saying you-know-who and have the courage to back your own thoughts. Then we can talk about it like adults.
Can also be seen with SQL. As in e.g. "a/an SQL injection attack"
Maybe compliance tech is a good startup bet
I think it also heavily depends on the language you are working with. For instance, unit tests are much more important in a duck-typed language than a strongly typed language, since the compiler is less capable of catching a number of issues.

It's fascinating that this grew out of a project that was originally a 3D map viewer for Total Annihilation.
We should not conflate what is ostensibly “intelligence” with wisdom, virtue, and character. Without genuine virtue, the mind cannot function properly. Without a spine, without virtue, temptations to throw the truth under the bus for the sake of lesser goods easily overwhelm. It leads to the misuse and abuse of intelligence. It leads to skillful evasion of the truth. It leads to rationalization rather than reason. The author gives us one example.

It’s not his wealth, objectively a good thing, that prevents a rich man from getting into heaven, it is his prioritization of it over superior goods, his idolatry even. And riches come in many forms.

I hate the trend to remove USB-A from laptops. Put as many or as few USB-C ports as you want, but there should be at least two USB-A ports.

How to Choose Data Lakehouse
You are missing the point of the article.

People gobbled it up with the justification that random researchers on twitter "replicated" the results under the assumption that these anonymous researchers are putting their entire career on the line and therefore should be paid attention to. That is literally playing into the point the article is making. I.e. people believing lies because the information came from a higher status individual.
I suppose that is a fair reading. If TDD is the goal then the "never" instruction makes sense.
I haven’t used in a while, but handbrake did have really useful presets for a variety of devices: it was useful because there are a lot of video compression knobs to turn (you can still do so after selecting the preset)

It seems like presets still exist.

Custom games? :D I miss playing "tree tag" on Warcraft3 Battle.net
At this point, the only type A cables I use are bundled cables that have type C at the other end because I don't have enough type C ports for all C-C cables. In other words, I actually need zero USB type A ports - I'm just without choice.

There's still the oddball micro-B (or mini-B, which is an awful connector) device out there, but that does not require a type A port.
Please don't assume that I've never used languages like Common Lisp or Smalltalk because it's not true.

I'm well aware that you can optimize code in a highly dynamic language (I'm mainly a julia programmer afterall).

The problem with Python isn't dynamism, it's the way the dynamism was baked into the language, and the very leaky way it affects the language semantics.

>If "AI ethics" means being run by so-called rationalists and Effective Altruists then it has nothing to do with ethics or doing anything for the benefit of all humanity.

Many would disagree.

If you want a for-profit AI enterprise whose conception of ethics is dumping resources into an endless game of whack-a-mole to ensure that your product cannot be used in any embarrassing way by racists on 4chan, then the market is already going to provide you with several options.
Aren't your thoughts contradictory? You say Altman is no longer needed because Gpt4 is now very good. Then you describe how horrible the iPhone is now. Steve Jobs has been dead a long time, and without his leadership, the uncompromising user focused development process in Apple was weakened.

How will OpenAI develop further without the leader with a strong vision?

I think Apple is the example confirming that a tech companies need visionary leaders -- even if they are not programmers.

Also, even with our logical brains, we engineers (and teachers) have been found to be the worst at predicting social economic behavior (ref: Freakonomics). To the point where our reasoning is not logical at all.

The poster was already pretty educated in his comment. Let's say that after every summer the right wing party in Germany is earning new voters...
> A "work group" and a "team" may seem interchangeable, but they differ fundamentally in their degree of interdependence:

As a contractor, I've worked at more than two or three outfits where "team" was used far too casually. In fact, one agency in particular, I was there six months, heard and read "team" countless times but never once was there a tean gathering (read: meeting). Not on Zoom. Not even on Slack. I asked one of the managers, "How can there be a team when we never have team meetings?" He never replied. Nuff said.

I get it. Meetings - at least those without agenda / purpose - suck. But safety requires trust, and trust requires sharing, bonding, etc. To maximize the benefits of team there has to be investment in that process.

Team is a function of management and leadership, or the lack there of.
Which companies or large projects use TDD at the moment? There's always such intense discussion about what it is and its benefits, yet I don't see anyone actually doing TDD.
Twitter wasn't in the red. It was roughly break even, with way over half of quarters in past 5 years profitable pre-Musk. You bought a history rewrite peddled by Musk himself. Twitter was never a failing company. It was just a mediocre company. But now... now it's a rapidly failing company, propped up by Musk selling a few billion in TSLA shares late last year.

> Open source is inherently anti-capitalist.

It's mostly orthogonal to capitalism. At best, you can say that open source is against intellectual capitalism, in the form of intellectual property. This is not a position on the ownership of physical goods.

Sure, maybe we shouldn't be using YouTube at all. And I would prefer if we had more legal protections for user data in the US. But that aside, the sheer size and quality of YouTube. It's availability on every phone tv or whatever. This doesn't just happen magically.
mostly entertainment but the occasional employment is certainly valuable
A few dollars? Don't remember what they charged here, but I found it completely overpriced. There are many months a year I manage not to waste any time on Youtube. While I generally prefer paying for service over surveillance capitalism I found Youtube far too less value for the money for my usage. For someone using it hours every week, the price might be more in line with the costs.

I could subscribe to a pay per view with monthly cap model.

For now I use it with ads, hate it, and use it less. Only for information gathering, certainly not for entertainment.

Playing into the articles points to gain higher status among "capitalists"?

Here is an easy one. Excess capital doesn't earn enough money to compensate for losses relating to depreciation, storage and maintenance costs i.e. the expectation is that capital income disappears in the long run. All further investment turns into consumption instead. That is kind of at odds with what people consider "capitalism" where the marginal productivity of capital is considered constant.
> Hunger is just another sensation, like pain or cold. Within certain reasonable limits a disciplined mind can ignore those stimuli. But discipline is not often taught as a distinct and necessary skill in our soft modern society.

Are you saying that the reason there was hardly any obesity among three-year-olds fifty years ago is because those toddlers were "disciplined" and "not soft" and thus able to ignore hunger?

Or is it possible that they were more satiated with the amount of calories they were consuming?
I noticed this too but it's easily explainable as a coincidence so calling it a pattern is a bit far stretched, especially when at least two of them have subject creds.
> The desire for “common knowledge” - for knowing that I know what others know, and that they see what I see - is deeply human.

Can we not explain this more simply as an evolutionary adaptation -- that species where individuals feel a strong need to share new information have a survival advantage?
Most of modern society is a series of iterative scientific processes by which we learn what does and doesn't work in e.g. our economies
