> That's a different issue than the "regulatory environment around energy and production".

The incentives are being set to take best advantage of the realities on the ground. Apart from Apple, no-one is taking over markets by fighting the general quality decline. You're arguing that there is a lot of shortermism going on. Fair enough. But shortermism is proving to be a good long term strategy, because the alternatives failed. Not for lack of interest, but because the regulatory state and harsh realities of energy constraints crushed them.

> Most real decision makers plan to remain in their role for at most 5 years before moving up.

I'm glad we've managed negotiate up from quarterly stock prices to 5 years. But note that China is run on 5 year plans - executing complex long term strategies is possible in 5 year steps with a reorientation every so often. 5 year time horizons can be compatible with long term planning.

Note that this is in line with what the investors are comfortable with - they don't think there is an advantage to be gained from keeping CEOs long term. And they're right I expect, getting involved int he money printing exercise that the central banks have been pushing is generally much more important than focusing on technical outcomes and you don't need long-term incumbent CEOs for that.

In my opinion, you could've written a better song yourself by learning three chords on a guitar and producing something more original. Maybe just a confidence thing?

I'm not sure what people are trying to get out of this process, I'm not judging it per se, but what drives people to sit with generative AI, prompt it, and find satisfaction out of the prompting, I don't really know? Is it just the convenience that is appealing? I do understand that it might be fun to explore with the prompting, but I'm genuinely curious about your perspective?

I studied music for a long time, and what I really really gain satisfaction from is actually understanding my instrument, understanding the theory, and then producing music from that knowledge, but in a way, forgetting all the theory and just being myself with my instruments, with little effort.

Like I cannot imagine getting much satisfaction out of having a computer generate a song for me?

Likewise when using Google translate, I've studied Japanese for a long time, and there is a huge level of satisfaction out of actually having a conversation with someone in their native tongue as opposed to hacking through it with GT.
> If it’s the case, each clown garage shop would be able to modify key characteristics of any car. And oh boy they will do it.

Car workshops would modify and compile their own distribution of the car source code? I can't say I have ever been to a workshop where I would imagine anything like that.

Open source here would clearly be a big win for security and bug identifications in cars. Better quality laws to go along with it to protect researchers would naturally be a big positive as well.

For a comparison look to Android. AOSP is open source, and whilst alternative, non-OEM, flavours of Android do exist (GrapheneOS, LineageOS, etc). But you don't see shops that fix or sell phones putting any of these on the phone. And if you did, would it be a security downgrade? I don't think so!

> Would you fly on aircraft knowing mechanic servicing it last night could have added something funny to the plane you are taking?

But... they could have done. Maybe not the software, but mechanically, of course it's possible. Why doesn't it happen though? I guess the same reasons why in general people act responsibly in society.
Also, author is typing his user password during live streaming with a mechanical keyboard while microphone is on.
Still doesn't make any sense. NTSB doesn't let airline take custody of plane immediately.

You want time to recover data, investigate the physical condition of the aircraft/vehicle, etc.

How thorough of the job can the police do in the dark from 9:30pm-1:30am?

This completely looks like a special snowflake exception that Cruise, given its behavior afterwards, should not have had... and at this point, should not be trusted to have again.
I'm confident that once driverless cars are good enough, blind pedestrians will be far safer than they ever were with drivered cars. But we're not there yet. Right now driverless cars should be banned from our roads.

Cruise and Waymo are inviting catastrophe by having their embryonic systems practising on public roads without a human in the driver's seat. None of these systems are anywhere near good enough to be let loose unmonitored. I know it's unpopular to praise Tesla here, but in my view they deserve some credit for sitting pretty at SAE L2 while everyone else seems obsessed with quickly impressing investors with a half-baked rush to L3 or L4.

That is a really good point. Determination without direction (or at least a misguided one) produces a lot of wasted energy. i guess the idea here of determination with lack of intelligenxe assumes some sort of intellectually elite group that can steer the determined work to some optimal outcome.
There is rarely any doubt about who was behind the wheel and police is not collecting evidence about that. Also, alcohol and drug use is determined by breath or blood test.

Former Bootcamp runner/teacher:

I think a bootcamp can be good (depends on the camp) to help you kick start the learning process. A few months in a place doing things daily can be helpful.

This is great if you really want to spend a long time doing this. It takes years to get decent at programming.

The promise that you will find a job right after I don't think is realistic. I am not saying it can't happen but it is very difficult. Companies have a lot of options now and typically won't even look at boot camp grads.

If this is a near life long investment, it could be useful to kick start that. Just with the caveat it will probably take time.
Did IBM start paying more after acquiring those guys?

I don't follow anymore but I'm sure you're right there's still a ton of revenue from the old businesses and their locked-in customers. Probably like a white dwarf, it'll keep burning almost forever, cooling slowly.
> once driverless cars are good enough

Sure, but that once can be still pretty far away for general conditions.
> From that point, an LLM, which remembers everything verbatim and mixing them together is arguably making plagiarism from many sources to create their own works, while being unable to cite them accurately. A very useful property, indeed.

I think this is a weak point in your argument. I support the rest of your reasoning, but this point can be attacked. For plagiarism to exist, the original work has to be easily detectable by a human. We've seen this sometimes be the case (see NYT lawsuit), but often times, the line is blurry (see Ed Sheeran lawsuit [0]). There's a reasonable argument to make that the combination of existing ideas by an AI creates something novel. It's what arguably what artists do, too. There's even a famous book called "Steal like an artist" [1]. As such, some output by AI can be plagiarism, but the very way modern AI works may not automatically mean everything is plagiarism.

I think you'll do equally well if you try to build some product on your own using free tutorials on the internet.

Bootcamps may partner with some companies looking to hire juniors so you may have a higher chance to land a job after that, but experience wise, as an unaffiliated company, I'd look at you the same as someone doing comparable projects on his own on github.

Get a backend in node.js running with postgres and redis, get some react frontend. You can build pretty much anything.

Bonus point, you could use sales skills to actually sell the product you are building and make some spare cash.

If it fails, hey at least you didn't spend 10k$ on a bootcamp and still learnt how to build stuff.
Princeton Researchers say generative AI isn't replacing devs any time soon
People are poo-pooing this, but this is the type of thing that someone like an Apple will fix the rough edges on and turn into a "one in every house" type of product (e.g., Apple Floor, Apple Ground, Apple Earth). For what it is: this is brilliant.
For those who understand there even is a cloud service, yes. My guess is that roombas are sufficiently common that most purchasers have no idea.

In a hypothetical situation where these cars are deployed widely and are actually as close to perfect as we'd hope then that would be a much safer environment for you and everyone else than one in which drivers can be drunk, under the influence of drugs, tired or in too much of a rush.

The problem with russia was, that everything was centrally planned, and if that one "central planning location" failed, there was no bread. Even if you have two or three central "locations", one failing means 1/3 less supply and breadlines, since the others can't fill the gap so fast. In capitalism, there were many private companies (bakeries if we continue with the bread analogy), and if one of them fails, noone even notices, since there are so many alternatives.

So capitalism is great!

...until amazon buys all the bakeries (well bookstores), and then fscks up something.... Or if walmart outcompetes small stores and then burns down. Or if you have a duopoly on mobile phone markets. Or if a few investment groups buy all the housing..... oh wait...
You're asking if I find it jarring ?

All the rap music I like is trying to convey some type of deeper message, or make some type of important social commentary, and rap often delivers that in a powerful, fun and beautiful way. It's not just the rhyming that is impressive, it's the culture that goes with it.

I get that it's kind of cute, and geeky to have the computer use statistics to produce rhyming sentences, but it just will never hit the same way as 2pac, Eminem, ODB, Marvin Gaye or Gill Scot Heron does, not matter how sophisticated it gets.

People can argue all they like about humans "just being LLMs" but humans also bring real life experience, failure, suffering and meaning to their art, which IMO is very important for the art to be interesting and develop connection.

Van Gough is like this, his work is interesting to me because I find his life and his story interesting.

So I don't find that rapping jarring, but I don't care for it either, it does absolutely nothing for me and I'd never listen it a second time, it just sounds like a rip off or approximation of many artists I've heard before.
Given your Wikipedia example I think my answer would be "neither" :)

The problem with non-profits owning profit making businesses is that it makes governance a lot more complex, tends to create conflicts of interest etc.

Oh indeed, at least the presenter wasn’t stuck as a cat avatar.

I disagree. For example, that's not the criteria social media sites use when they block disinformation. In these cases, nearly all of the people propagating the message are ignorant.
Yes! That's the one.

Thanks so much. That had been gnawing at me.
obviously I was being slightly facetious - especially as I am unable to find stats on bus death but I'm going to assume that rate of death in bus accidents are much less than those in car accidents because not especially serious - but if that were the case and given that there were two serious crashes of the Boeing Max and there are 1160 I guess the rate there is somewhere around .1 whereas there are 3 million cars in Denmark and 154 fatalities is .009 (again, facetiously assuming that every car was driven)

But since the statement was it was safer than taking the bus to work and given the very minimal stats shown I think it is a reasonable supposition that probably the bus is safer in Denmark although obviously it would require a significant longer and more in depth amount of analysis than one generally expends on a comment on an HN text box.

>I'm not sure what conclusions we were expected to take from this.

given very minimal stats on car accidents and assuming bus accidents much less than car accidents then it would reasonable to think hmm, probably taking the bus is somewhat safer. But not with the absolute certainty that a year long study and gathering of all relevant stats might establish.

Things Data Consulting Clients Hate
There are two paths that can be taken: expedience or elegance.

As you point out, Electron is quicker to develop, easier to develop, works for several common platforms, and with a modern device it will perform adequately. It's the expedient choice.

Native applications are potentially slower to develop, harder to develop, and probably won't work on another platform. But they'll integrate better with the system, and be orders of magnitude less demanding of resources. It's the elegant choice.

An argument can be made for both approaches. Neither is "right", nor "wrong". Some people drive a Kia, some drive a BMW.

I prefer elegance in my software. But I don't "hate": I respect your choice to prefer expedience, if that's what you choose.
It won't be missing anyway, because they are getting paid interest on what is still here :)

It depends a lot on how they do it. How large a shareholding the non-profit retains, whether it retains controls by other means such as a golden share etc.

Node.js is a security apocalypse. Any language where you compose your app from unsecured and untrusted finegrained pieces spread from across the internet is going to be.

Having n versions of something as complicated as the browser + deps, rotting at different rates, will eventually be a security problem.

Distribution to a browser by https is very natural and can be reasonably lean, we run remote webapps all day without effort. Distribution of megabloat with an install paradigm is noticeably old and inferior. Similarly, update process of remotely managed webapps is (usually) invisible, update process for an installed fleet is agony.

Arguably electron is a transitional, incomplete form of something that wants to be exactly like remote webapps, even if the server part is on 127.0.0.1, it is insane not to use the system web browser already there.

To put it in perspective, that is the amount of years that have taken C++ to adopt modules and concepts (still ongoing), Java to research and slowly start deploying Valhala, .NET to start having something better than NGEN / .NET Native across all workloads and beyond Windows, migrate an ecosystem to Python 3,....
I don't know that word "woke", could you define it? I see conflicting definitions online.
> i guess the idea here of determination with lack of intelligenxe assumes some sort of intellectually elite group that can steer the determined work to some optimal outcome.

I think that idea comes from school where you can do well just by repeating simple patterns, there mindless determination can take you very far. But after school it starts to hurt you if you don't re-evaluate what you do often enough, which is why many who get great grades never achieve much afterwards, they are just too determined on a set path and don't look around enough.

Idle power consumption is all over the place with AMD taking the lowest and highest spots on this chart: https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/10evt0z/ryzen_vs_intel...

Have a look at bigger more established institutions. There are still some out there who have programs to re-skill people (especially from STEM degrees) into engineering. Mostly financial institutions.

What they usually do is hire you at a grad level, and put you in a bootcamp for couple of months.

Indeed, exclusive D3D full-screen mode allows to bypass dwm.exe compositor, even on modern Windows. But I don’t think it’s evidence of any hardware composition being used.
I think the example is very impressive. Fully agree with your reasoning. Most music today already feels a bit cringe and interchangeable to me, and this song fits this genre perfectly. I agree that the Christian church would very much be able to use this. Just don't tell them it's done by an AI; that would kill the whole vibe when the target audience is all about being human :D.
we are actually trying something similar but possible kinesis + clickhouse or kafka + clickhouse. Currently kinesis seems easier to deal with but not a good intergration or sink connector available to process records at scale for kinesis to put into clickhouse. Were you ever felt into similar problems where you had to process records at huge scale to be able to insert into clickhouse without much delay.

One more thing is kinesis can have duplicates while kafka is exactly once delivery.
