> You need to already know what you're doing to know whether the LLM got it right.

I want to call out that this is not necessarily true. You can interact with the LLM using agents, feedback loops, and some scoring function on randomized test inputs to produce novel code that you don't know the structure of beforehand.

You start with a set of example inputs and desired outputs, and prompt the llm for a function in your programming language of choice. You then take the LLM's response and feed it into an agent that executes the code against the inputs and outputs, and report the discrepancies back to the LLM. It responds with a new completion, which you feed to the agent until all your example inputs produce the expected outputs. Finally, you can use property-based testing to produce new examples for testing by the llm, resolving the answers until the produced code is correct to within some margin of acceptable correctness.

You can do this to produce code without needing to know anything besides the desired properties of generated code and the properties of the inputs. You can further automate this by using a separate LLM to produce the examples instead of the typical generation and shrinking functions to produce examples.

This doesn't require any prior knowledge of the target language. You can expand beyond programming into any domain for which you can produce a scoring function and automate input generation.

I suspect that you can use control theory (PID loops, behavior choice loops scored by Eigenvalues) to model complex scenarios spanning multiple domains as well, choosing the evaluation agent as the behavior, each behavior of which has a separately defined scoring function. All of this can be automated by using the LLM generator without prior knowledge of the algorithmic structure of the solution and knowledge of all possible inputs to all possible behaviors.

If that all sounds very familiar, it's because it's essentially just doing test-driven development, but with the LLM machine as the developer.

It would be expensive to run an entire project development that way, due to the high costs of executing LLMs and/or querying LLM apis, but if the cost is less than that of employing a junior developer or teams of developers, it might be worth it. And human intervention can be kept in the loop at any stage, making it very feasible for rapid prototyping - where you don't necessarily need the entirely correct answer from the machine, just a good enough starting point to allow the human to take over to produce a result.
Fix teeth, yes, cut hair, absolutely not. How can you conflate those two things? It is utterly bizarre for the state to license barbers and hairdressers, especially in the so-called land o' the free.

I mean, yeah? That's also something we need to seriously consider. These tools have the ability to copy the labor and property of others in a way that is economically important and socially challenging, and we don't yet have a legal framework to handle it.
Wtf? I was not suggesting everyone buy "matchbox-size" cars. Neither was I suggesting that vehicles with a lot of mass and torque should be unavailable. I was just saying that the visibility in many modern pickups is atrocious and that they inflict disproportionate damage on other cars and especially pedestrians.

There is no practical reason that pickups need to have flat grilles made of solid metal and very little practical reason to have the hood be so tall in the first place. You could have your 3000kg vehicles with a torque-heavy V8 without unnecessarily endangering others.

ps: You might think differently after the 100th time you had to emergency brake and drive onto the grass because of a pickup that takes up 1.3 lanes going full speed around a blind corner.
Technically France is on that list here:

With one reactor. Wow.

That being said, the majority are in Asia. The UAE have one under construction, they did install more solar capacity already.

Two Japanese ones are suspended. Which leaves China as the leader.

Just as a reminder: these are the capacities

Under Construction (grid connection, as of Nov. 2023, between 2023 and 2030): 68 GW

Planned: 109 GW

Proposed: 353 GW

Total: 630 GW

Solar capacity installed between 2018 and 2021: 500 GW

Solar capacity estimated to be installed until 2025: 1.3 TW

I hope that puts it into perspective with regards to where the money goes. Nuclear proponents are at risk of becoming a serious road block when it comes to a fast energy transition, even more so if they continue to ignore raw market numbers.

In Spain, Notaries and Property Registrars are a weird thing.

You have to pass an exam, same as a public servant, and the number of positions is limited. But you don't have a regular salary like any other public servant: you set up a private office and get the money directly from your clients.

The price for the actions is regulated but it's high, and the number of licenses is limited, so generally they have hefty salaries, specially compared to the rest of the public servants and the mean of the population.

Their salary can be very variable based on location (as you get the money directly from your clients), but it's said to typically be from 100K to 200K€

Where I live (Denmark), the real estate guild has captured the market by building the de-facto listing portal and only making it available to registered brokers. Sounds great if the US portal (MLS?) is available to all listings.

For selling a small plot of land I got so angry about the fees for nothing that I paid an obviously rogue broker to proxy-list the thing. This guy was charging half of what the other brokers were (still way too much), and did not do anything except upload documents from me.

My hottest take (use lots of salt) is that I would rather have you listening uncritically to ChatGPT than to a lot of crap on the internet.

If I ask ChatGPT "why is fluoride bad?" it doesn't give me hours of conspiracy theory content^. It doesn't try to sell me water.

Google is not so aligned towards neutral. (Of course, people have been busy sabotaging the Google dataset for over a decade)

^ although I did ask it "what do I do about a ghost that lives in my house" and got this:
> Dealing with a ghost can be unsettling. You could consider consulting a paranormal expert or a spiritual advisor for guidance on how to address the presence of a ghost in your house.
> tweaking that it takes to bring features that should work out of the box (sane dired, LSP, (ma)git, tabs, etc).

For LSP (language server protocol), eglot worked out of the box quite well once installed. It ships by default in emacs in the latest versions.
Ignoring the "AI" implementation details, this generates HTML in the same sense that you can technically convert a rasterized image to an SVG that looks like crap when you zoom in and forces the renderer to draw and fill many unnecessary strokes.

In other words, the output of this does not seem clean enough to hand over to a web dev. They're going to have to rewrite all but the most obvious high level structures that didn't need a fancy tool anyway, and that their snippets plugin in their text editor does a better job of. Much of web dev isn't even visible. Accessibility is all metadata you can't get from a screenshot and responsive CSS would require at least a video exhaustively covering every behavior, animation, etc. The javascript would probably be impossible to determine from any amount of image recognition.

Better off just copying the actual HTML directly from dev tools, no?
This is a comment for folks in homes with coax run for cable TV.

Ethernet is great. I wired ethernet to most rooms in our remodel and set up wired access points or jacks in the office to connect directly to my computer. The speeds and consistency over wifi and mesh were remarkable. Especially consistency.

We moved, and it's not feasible to run ethernet everywhere in our current home. However, whoever built the home ran coax to nearly every room in the house - it's a bit ridiculous. And I learned that you can get up to 2.5gbps data transfer over coax using the MoCA standard.

So now, I can run wired networking connections anywhere in the house for wired access points or connecting directly to computers, televisions, etc.

It's overstated.

UATX has been a passion project of the Founder's Fund crew for sometime now. They didn't get their accreditation until this year.

It's supposed to be a new heterodox conservative university, but I don't see it having the same impact as Hillsdale College or Claremont McKenna College.

Also, most of the popular conservative leaning intellectuals themselves prefer to stay at Ivy Leagues and Ivy League+ universites simply because those are the universities with the strongest humanities and social sciences faculties. For example, Niall Ferguson and Ayaan Hirsi Ali were both instrumental in helping found UATX, yet they are still employed by Stanford.

This is all semantics. Ad blockers on Safari are less effective than what you can get on Chrome/Firefox right now. Google is trying to make adblockers on Chrome less effective as well.
At that scale, Synology NAS running MailPlus can be very cost-effective. Comes with five mailboxes. Buy two, activate MailPlus High Availablity — which also pools the mailbox licenses, and you're set for 10 mailboxes over the +/- 8 years they'll actively support the device. With the rest of their software suite it can tick all the boxes tho the lack of a MAPI/EAS implementation is a miss.

I do not understand your sorrow.
My friend, we stand upon the backs of explorers whose sacrifices nurture us. We hold in our hands the keys to the garden of space in which the infinite spring of adventure pours. The fountain of youth is not one where old men go to stave off death's embrace, but it is where we send our children and their children so that they may live.

Brother, we are the Gatekeepers, the Architects, the Creators, the Bridgemen. It is our age that connects one era to another, one explorer to the next. We are not explorers, we were never really meant to be. Our children are the ones who will touch the intangible, ride asteroids around the stars; when they wake up, it will be stardust they scrape from their eyes.

Sister, our children cannot come into their own if we do not come into ours. Do not mourn a destiny that was never yours. We must make for them their future through our own sacrifices.

How strange that the former two are cited as examples of bullshitters, but the latter not. That Twitter and politics is cited as a hotbed of untethered debate, but not academia. Even though the work and claims of "AI Ethicists" pretty much amounts to idea-laundered cultural marxism... and that this problem also exists in the wider social sciences, where certain hypotheses are dismissed regardless of evidence, because of the perceived moral implications.

I have no doubt that much of the output of a transformer is bullshit. The same way I have no doubt that much of what passes for scholarship these days is. Garbage in, garbage out.

Main difference seems to be that ChatGPT will apologize and correct itself when you point out it's wrong.

Ask HN: AI Intercom Alternative
Someone should use the OpenAI assistant's RAG functionality to create a simple competitor to Intercom's Finvisor.

We are now on our forth live chat widget, they are all embarrassingly bad, hallucinate with their AI, and are almost amusingly expensive.

Most of the functionality to justify a pricepoint like Intercom simply isn't needed with OpenAI's RAG agent, if you add AutoGen to the mix, it can do advanced troubleshooting with customers and integrate with third-party apps to do things like support tickets, refunds, ect.

Your pricing model? A simple tiered usage markup on your API fees. Pay as you go and then you hit a cap and managed pricing for larger customers.

Please someone build this. I'll be your first customer. There are open source Chat Widgets on GitHub for you to build upon, but to be frank, you probably don't even need 90% of it.

It is "AI", using the definition of that term that was established when the term was coined in 1956.

LLMs fit that definition well. They're not AGI, but I think it's fair to call them AI.

I'm pretty sure a switch is just an L2 bridge but still uses the ethernet address management mechanism (mac addresses) not the L3 IP (or whatever) address / routing mechanisms.

Modern ethernet, on wires anyhow, is very different from the original one with a shared broadcast domain. Ironically, wireless networks are still very much like the original "you've got a piece of wire and everyone yells into it after listening for a short period of time" mechanism.
Most cat5e structured cabling is completely fine for home-length runs at 2.5 or 10 gigabit/s - I am using existing cables for the 10G run from my fiber drop to my router, and for the 2.5G runs from my router to my wireless access points.

This is something I’ve come to appreciate much more recently - how hard (or at least unnatural) marketing / sales is. A social media following (upon the right audience) is turning into a new metric for economic power, and it’s a skill in it of itself to self-promote tactfully.

What’s the best way to learn marketing skills? Books, courses? I feel like there’s a lot of trash to sort through here.

I have a product I’ve been working on that is nearly ready, but I’ve told only a few people. Would it be better to learn by getting someone who is great at marketing involved, and learn from them?
Another approach might be for employers to allocate 20% of employee time to open-source work.

It is an interesting thing though. Why did the design lead too people leaving the cups behind? I get the hostile part as they do not want to clean up other peoples trash. It is something I think about a lot on the way to work. I see gum on the ground. Not like one or two here and there but hundreds of little blobs on the sidewalk. What is causing people in these particular spots to leave their gum behind and then putting the chore of cleaning it up on someone else. I even see it when there is a trash can nearby many times. What is causing the issue? So yeah so sometimes there is no 'clear fix' but making it seriously inconvenient to do something is an option for those who have to pay to clean it up. So we all suffer because of that.

There are methods for getting useful information from LLMs about subjects outside your own area of expertise, but it takes a lot of work.

For the example, causes of the Great War, I'd first ask it to provide a list of the top ten reasons reputable historians cite as primary causes of World War One. Then, for each reason that looked interesting, I'd ask the LLM to provide arguments for and against, including one primary historical document in support of each side. Then, go to Google Scholar or similar and look up that document and see what different reputable historians have said about it. A few iterations of this process should get you to some reliable information even in a field you know nothing about.

This is a time-consuming process, and requires active engagement rather than what many people have been trained to do by our atrocious education system and watching television, i.e. passive absorption of content without skepticism.

> One offer may look good but you know the agent and know they will give you an artifically high offer and then ask for 10's of thousands in remedies.

True, but it also greats a negative incentive. The realtor is obligated to present to high offer to the seller, but not obligated to tell them “this agent usually tries to bump the price down $30k during inspection”. A less than ethical agent can use this to their advantage to get the seller to accept the offer, then convince the seller to accept the lower offer later after they’ve stopped showing the house.

Good realtors like your wife can definitely add value, but there’s no good way to know which realtors are good and which are terrible other than (maybe) references.

I've had my website cloned before and I totally get the feeling and absurdity of the situation, but realistically there is not a lot you can do without it (negatively) impacting you as well.

I think it's good to message this person, as they probably should include your license, maybe indeed make people aware, but at some point it might be better to let it rest and focus your energy towards your project.

Especially if it's not really a threat to your project (and it doesn't look like it is as your project seems like it's doing quite well, congrats!) you could wonder if the best course of action is to just not give it any attention at all.
A lot of people?

2.5G is rapidly approaching, if not already past the point, for a lot of people where a single machine will never use all of that capacity, and the advantage of higher total bandwidth is to support multiple people doing high bandwidth tasks.

In this scenario a 2.5G (or 10G) router is all that's really required to get the benefit, while using the existing 20 year old wiring.
