Thanks for clarifying.

I think this nails it:

> Whether the "feedback" from those tests is taken into account determines whether you get bad design or not.

Which to me was kind of the whole point of TDD in the first place; to let the ease and/or difficulty of testing become feedback that informs the design overall, leading to code that requires less set up to test, fewer dependencies to mock, etc.

I also agree that a lot of devs ignore that feedback, and that just telling someone to “do TDD” without first making sure that they know that they need to strive to have little to no test setup and few or no mocks, etc., otherwise the advice is pointless.

Overall I get the sense that a sizable number of programmers accept a mentality of “I’m told programming is hard, this feels hard so I must be doing it right”. It’s a mentality of helplessness, of lack of agency, as if there is nothing more they can do to make things easier. Thus they churn out overly complex, difficult code.
Of course they would. There's a lot of money and TC tied to OpenAI. Nonprofit status, ethical mission, and the problematic legalese of the datasets used be damned.

OpenAI negotiations to reinstate Altman hit snag over board role
Using analogy is often fallacy.
Yeah, this point exactly - intentionally altering or even subduing some parts of the code using color or style to actually recognize blocks of code more quickly. Maybe everything being at 110% legibility all the time makes the whole more time-consuming to scan sometimes. Maybe.
I'm not so sure about that, scientists need labs, academics have labs and lecture theatres, lawyers (some of the time) need courts and to meet clients or counterparties, very few doctors can work from home a non-trivial amount, etc.

I agree it's unusual for something we call engineering, but I don't think needing more than a computer is that unusual for 'knowledge work'. A lot of finance has been more changed by computers than professions like accounting say which you could roughly say just swapped paper for computers and always could've been done from home to a similar extent. I suppose it's the internet being the significant piece, or just needed as well as computers themselves.
Because I work on AI alignment myself and had been training LLMs long before Attention is All You Need came out (which cites some of my work).
That Bachman's warbler is beautiful. Such a shame.

> “The bird had a ‘buzzy’ song, and the song added to the beauty of the bird, and when combined that added to the magic of North Carolina. We lost a little magic when we lost the species. And what’s really sad is that the Bachman’s warbler was abundant at the turn of the 20thcentury, but by 1950 it was noted as one of the rarest birds in North America.”

This hurts, especially knowing that it's a story that we've unfortunately told a thousand times in the past hundred years.

Based on recent experience with large deployments at S&P500 types, IMHO the value snowflake providers to most companies can easily be deployed in house with either old school Hadoop,Spark, Hive or old school Impala, Hbase or more recently Trino.

The clients I had where we installed snowflake every is super worried about any additional copy operation because everyone is keenly aware of the unlimited cost. This makes getting shit done harder.

Clients that have a decently sized k8s cluster running Trino or old school Spark/Hadoop cluster on fat VM's you know what you got you know what your paying for you make estimate of how much ram / cores you need for certain workloads and once they are purchased your engineers get really good at squeezing as much work out of the given resources as possible. And no constant complaining in meetings about what potential extra cost this additional computation may have.

Also if other people working in other parts of your org don't run snowflake themselves you gotta pay for their snowflake usage on your bill or you pay for copying data back out to S3/ADLS/sFTP so that other departments can get to the results of your computations. And snowflake really doesn't like it when you do this, they even gave exporting data a new name, they call it "unloading" making you feel like your undoing something which you probably should not undo....
On that note, Snowflakes data export options are significantly underdeveloped in contrast to Databricks, Cloudera and also the original open versions Spark, Trino and Impala.

On this side of the pond unemployment is mostly 13-26 weeks of a fraction of the money you earned previously and requires you to be actively seeking and available for work. You can neither be volunteering nor pursuing education even if you are laid off and need training in another field.

In some particularly stingy places this is as little as the equivalent of 80 pounds per week whereas rent is oft closer to 800 pounds per month.

In many cases its something you receive later after weeks or months of bureaucratic wrangling after you would long ago have lost your housing if you didn't have any of your own money saved.

Hell we make sure you can't exploit the system by getting food stamps or housing help while going to college even if you are poor as a church mouse.

Heck we set the benefits threshold low enough that as you move from part time employment to full time employment the poorest households experience a hump where if you move to full time you may end up poorer than you started because you lose more benefits than you gain income. This is especially true if you go from free medical care to $500-$800 out of pocket.

Because most professions don't involve doubling your wages regularly one has to in effect agree to take on more work to climb into greater poverty in order to work your way out the other side IF increasing costs ever let you get ahead in the first place.

One of the most attractive ways OUT of permanent poverty is naturally a college education however this will almost certainly be by way of borrowing tens of thousands of dollars but since you don't qualify for benefits during your education and you need to keep eating and living inside you are liable to need to continue to work full time which creates a much higher chance of failure which stands to leave you without a degree with thousands of dollars of undischargable debt.

This concludes our tour of one of the shitty parts of America.

Another vote for Ory setup. It forces you a bit to go through it on your own, but you also learn a lot. There's Kratos for authentication, as well as Hydra for federated authentication. Then, there's also Keto for authorization which is really nice and more flexible than Keycloak in certain things, and ultimately there's also Oathkeeper if you want things to be transparent to application developers.

for example if you need roles defined per client and you have a lot of clients. In Keycloak that would be realm(s) and it's not really designed to have a lot of those. In Keto world it's all a function of queries, which admittedly can also be a bit of a challenge if you need to cache it and be part of a fast response chain (like high speed API).

Show HN: EasyAria – A JavaScript library for manipulating HTML ARIA attributes
Hello guys, I created my first library! It's a simple library called "EasyAria".

The library aids web developers in building accessible websites and web apps by providing a convenient and type-safe way to manipulate HTML ARIA attributes in JavaScript.

It's based on the latest W3C WAI-ARIA 1.2 Specification.

It's also written entirely in TypeScript, so developers can catch errors during development.

GitHub repo: https://github.com/emamoah/easy-aria

Please feel free to try it out, and I'd like to know what you guys think!

In Australia and the UK there are no fees for withdrawing from a bank ATM (independent ATMs can still charge fees).

IMHO this is superior to the bank refunding you. It doesn’t cost the bank $2+ to allow you to access your own money from a different ATM, it’s just rent seeking.
I agree with a lot of what you say in the linked article, and I particularly agree that it is not helpful to define understanding in a way that would, a priori, make it a category error to propose that a suitably-programmed computer might understand things. I do, however, have a few words to say about the relationship between modeling and understanding. I can easily accept that an ability to model is necessary in order to understand something, but I feel the idea that it is sufficient would leave something out.

For example, meteorologists understand a lot about the weather in terms of the underlying physics, representing it as a special application of more general laws, but they are not very good at predicting it. Machine learning produces models which are much better predictors, but it does not seem to follow that they have a superior understanding of the weather.

One problem in assessing whether a token predictor has some sort of understanding is that if its training material is consistent with the supposition that, broadly speaking, it was produced by people who do have a reasonable understanding of what they were writing about, then it seems likely that the productions of a good predictor would unavoidably have that feature as well - but maybe that just is how most human understanding works? I am on the fence on this one.
That's a good point, although in this case you can count the number of wild vaquitas on two hands. I imagine it's much harder for birds, insects, and fish, but for dolphins, they stay by the coast and need air. I can't imagine a species coming back from such low numbers.

A text being objectively measurable as aggressive is a very different supposition than a text being subjectively, contextually aggressive.

It's fair to say that usually if the board isn't obfuscating or outright lying in their announcements, that itself is an indicator of acrimony.

But usually, the board can financially incentivize a CEO to "step down" or even help them find a soft landing at another company to make it look like a mutually agreed on transition. Since they know this oustered CEO isn't interested in making nice in public, they really had no choice but to try to get in front of the story.

Given the fallout which is still spreading, I think they would've rather cut him a fat check for an explicit or implicit NDA and thanked him for his amazing contributions while wishing him well on his future endeavors if that option had been on the table.

Non-profits totally have boards with fiduciary duties. Just because it’s a non profit doesn’t mean it isn’t being juiced for money by others. It just means that the org can’t make a profit, but it can totally spend its money unwisely so that it winds up in someone’s pockets. Heck, most of America’s hospital systems are like that.
