Really? I've been doing web dev as a hobby for 20 years and professionally for 6 or 7 years. It's super helpful for me giving how much boilerplate there is to write and how much of the training set is for websites. Any time I try to get it to write non-trivial SQL or TypeScript types it fails hard. But it's still a nice time saver for writing tests, request handling, React boilerplate, etc.

This "anti Russian sentiment" is nothing new. It's what is called political realism. It has always existed in Eastern Europe as they were more clear eyed when it comes to Russia. It has been also clearly present in US but the official rhetoric has been more soporific toward Russia. But it doesn't make sense to pretend anymore when Russia has opened its cards wide to everyone to see.

I can't imagine Japan being too happy about it (https://www.ejiltalk.org/extended-continental-shelf-of-the-u...):

> The Executive Summary makes clear that both Canada and The Bahamas have indicated they would not object to the CLCS considering the U.S. submission, but it does not mention any explicit assurance from Japan.

Indeed Japan is conspicuously left out (https://www.state.gov/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/ECS_Executi...)

Canada has advised the United States that it would not object to the consideration of a U.S. submission by the Commission, without prejudice both to the delineation of the outer limits of its own continental shelf and to the matters relating to the delimitation of boundaries in this region between the United States and Canada. The Bahamas has similarly advised the United States that it would not object to the consideration of a U.S. submission by the Commission, without prejudice both to the delineation of the outer limits of its own continental shelf and to the matters relating to the delimitation of boundaries in this region between the United States and The Bahamas.
> If it’s made illegal to profit from users through such indirect means, then there would be no choice for companies but to require users to be paying customers.

Yes, there would. I already addressed this. Plenty of apps have a free tier (which means those users are not paying customers) but don't sell user information to third parties. There is no reason to outlaw those apps, and your proposal wouldn't.

> The core issue is not that users don’t pay

I agree, which is why I went to the trouble of pointing out that apps could still have a free tier under your proposal.

> Companies can still provide subsidized accounts

Yes, but this is by no means the only possibility. See above.

I find co-pilot primarily useful as an auto-complete tool to save keystrokes when writing predictable context driven code.

Writing an enum class in one window? Co-pilot can use that context to auto complete usage in other windows. Writing a unit test suite? Co-pilot can scaffold your next test case for you with a simple tab keystroke.

Especially in the case of dynamic languages, co-pilot nicely compliments your intellisense

A couple years ago Panasonic and Sony partnered with the Japanese government to come up with an (alternative) standard that's similar to m-disc in its properties.

The standard that they came up with is called "Archival Disc" (AD) [1] and they fulfill the requirements of 100 years (lab tested and verified) data retention. The ODA units, however, cost over 8500$ last time I checked.

As far as I know you can order them from the Panasonic Japan website and not anywhere outside Japan, but this standard has huge potential in my opinion (when compared to the absurdly overpromised mdisc, for example).

Data retention rates matter, always have an optical and a spinning HDD backup. SSDs are not guaranteed to keep data longer than 30-90 days without electricity.

You're absolutely right. Why are they maligning contractors? Never mind the fact that the comment was insulting - it's not even factual. I'm hired as a contractor to fix broken projects.
Research scientist is one common role I’ve seen, but there are often supplemental engineering roles for these as well. Another way to find these is look for moonshot projects at any major company. Basically divisions that are outside of the core product and business operations. Some risk in these though, since they can be the first cut in a bad economy.

I think the reason everyone just has a "worry" or an opinion and there's so much disagreement is because nobody knows, even in the slightest what effect climate change will have on people's quality of life. We have predictions of some effects like temperature extremes, sea level rise, storm severity (or so I've heard, I can only find hand-waving in IPCC reports), mass migration, etc. but no credible and terrible predictions of numbers of deaths, financial cost or other more direct impacts on people. Maybe the climate will be radically different but we'll adapt just fine? Who knows? Nobody! So people invent their own beliefs and we end up with doomsdayers imagining the worse possible outcome and neverminders imagining the best possible outcome and they all want to control each other's behavior according to their own imagination. Now it becomes political and people hate each other because they see them working against each other's believed fantasy.

Even in this video, I couldn't find any quantified predictions of actual effects on people, so it just continues to support everyone's own fantasy, whichever way that goes.
On the other hand just because something is written down somewhere is not at all equal to 'having access to it'. Once you forget it it might as well not exist at all. The information needs to be internalized to be any useful, and for that at least some of it needs to be kept in your memory

This makes sense to me, because after all this time if we don't have anything which backs up the conspiracy theories it is sensible to believe that the results of the official investigation are largely accurate.
I believe these rules should be changed rarely, consciously and very carefully. Perhaps it would be worth it for them to explain their thought process behind revising them in some developer session.

Meanwhile, every person working on design systems should think about decisions like these deeply. Designers, engineers, accessibility specialists should all talk together and come to some common ground before doing something like this.

I'm getting tired of people blaming Cloudflare for providing a service that no one else can provide for free to small website owners => DDOS protection.

I'm using ChatGPT rather than Copilot, and I'm surprised by how much it can do, but even so I wouldn't call it "good code" — I use it for JavaScript, because while I can (mostly) read JS code, I've spent the last 14 years doing iOS professionally and therefore don't know what's considered best practice in browser-land. Nevertheless, even though (usually) I get working code, I can also spot it producing bad choices and (what seems like) oddities.

Indeed.

You avoid the two usual mistakes I see with current AI, either thinking it's already game over for us or that it's a nothing-burger.

For the latter, I normally have to roll out a quote I can't remember well enough to google, that's something along the lines of "your dog is juggling, filing taxes, and baking a cake, and rather than be impressed it can do any of those things, you're complaining it drops some balls, misses some figures, and the cake recipe leaves a lot to be desired".
It definitely doesn't mean anything in real science.

I don’t really understand how this relates to the article. Nowhere does the author suggest that we should be spoon-fed moralisms. Instead, it argues that Lewis’s perspective and approach missed a fundamental part of the story he’s trying to tell. You don’t even need to read the article. It’s right there in the subheading: “Michael Lewis is not interested in how or why people make mistakes”

Just expect they, like everyone, have a bias. Writers who do hit piece style things will portray things as bad and authors who do deep feature pieces will be positive because they each have a certain approach and bag of tricks and this has up and down sides.

A hit piece person would never spend months embedded with someone, so wont give a deep picture. A lewis will, but be appropriately stockholmed by the whole thing.

I live in an area of Chicagoland that was a hub of the Chicago Outfit, a short walk from the house where Sam Giancana was murdered, but it's really no more interesting than all the rest of the backstory of the city. Into the 1970s, organized crime might have had some salience for civilians like us, but I think it's been decades since it mattered.

Which is interesting, because so many people (especially abroad) seem to think the area is defined by mafia-type organized crime. I was in a thread a few months back with someone who brought Frank Nitti into an argument about crime in Chicago!

The most interesting thing about the MKE story here is the connection to the movie Casino.

> Nowadays (when most Americans have just read about it in history textbooks), it feels like most people believe the official narrative and dismiss conspiracy theories as "crazy".

A significant confounding factor here is the encompassing and totalizing nature of modern conspiracy theories: there's a substantial difference in breadth, depth, and assumed priors between a JFK assassination conspiracy (painted against the backdrop of 1960s social and political upheaval) and something like QAnon.

Put another way: American culture is prone to conspiratorial beliefs, but isn't (yet) prone to Big Lies.
The Pulitzer never awarded a sci Fi so it tells you what they think. It's obvious why settings don't get awards it's because world building is sorta niche. Not popular enough to be considered "serious".

Agreed on your last part. Games have great setting and not as good stories.

But my point was d&d is great for what it is: settings for stories rather then the stories themselves. I think you disagree with this, and you think the setting is more subservient to the gameplay but I'll reference Warhammer then. Warhammer clearly has a focus on setting at many times over gameplay. And my argument is that d&d is largely similar.

> You can tell it the code is bad and how, a lot of the times it will correct it. For some bs code that you have to write it is a great time saver.

Yes, I've even done that to see how well it works (my experience is that half the time it fixes the code, the other half it claims to but doesn't) — but I can do that because I can recognise that it's bad code.

I don't expect a junior to notice bad code, and therefore I don't expect them to ask for a fix. (I've also spent 6 months in a recent job just fixing code written by work experience students).
The House Select Committee on Assassinations was established to investigate the assassinations of JFK and MLK.

After their investigation, they concluded that the official narrative was most likely wrong and they found a high probability that two gunmen fired at President John F. Kennedy.

There were no investigations after that..

> Scientific acoustical evidence establishes a high probability that two gunmen fired at President John F. Kennedy. Other scientific evidence does not preclude the possibility of two gunmen firing at the President. Scientific evidence negates some specific conspiracy allegations.

> The committee believes, on the basis of the evidence available to it, that President John F. Kennedy was probably assassinated as a result of a conspiracy. The committee is unable to identify the other gunman or the extent of the conspiracy.

The materials for one EV battery can make ~30 e-bikes, and currently EVs are too expensive for most people.

The way to fix that and the way that industry is fixing it is to make batteries more efficient (higher-density, new anodes/cathodes) in parallel with making a bunch more of them (and mining more lithium).

If we succeed in making a $25k EV, the batteries used in those vapes will be _even cheaper_.

I don’t think it’s desirable and I find the waste appalling, but I do think that disposable batteries can only be expected to grow without intervention.
That phrase does not literally mean any US state with a coast.
Using GPT-4 has significantly enhanced the efficiency of my work. My focus is primarily on developing straightforward PHP CRUD applications for addressing problems in my day-to-day job. These applications are simple, and don't use frameworks and MVC structures, which makes the code generated by GPT-4, based on my precise instructions, easy to comprehend and usually functional right out of the prompt. I find if I listen to the users needs I can make something that addresses a pain point easily.

I often request modifications to code segments, typically around 25 lines, to alter the reporting features to meet specific needs, such as group X and total Y on this page. GPT-4 responds accurately to these requests. After conducting a quick QA and test, the task is complete. This approach has been transformative, particularly effective for low-complexity tasks and clear-cut directives.

This process reminds me of how a senior programmer might delegate: breaking down tasks into fundamental components for a junior coder to execute. In my case, GPT-4 acts as the junior programmer, providing valuable assistance at a modest cost of $20 per month. I happily pay that out of pocket to save myself time.

However, much like how a younger version of myself asked why we had to learn math if the calculator does it for us, I know understand why we do that. I think the same thing applies here. If you don't know the fundamentals, you won't be effective. If GPT-4 had been around when I learned to write PHP (don't @ me!), I probably wouldn't understand the fundamentals as well as I do. I have the benefit of learning how to do it before it was a thing, and then benefitting from the new tool being available.

I also don't find the code quality to be any less, if anything what it spits out is a bit more polished (sometimes!).

I like quite them. With LED candles, there's no danger of fires if you forget about the candle, or if you accidentally knocking them over, or if something accidentally goes over the candle. There is no mess to clean up as the candle melts down the wax. There is no worry about wind blowing out the candle.

I don't like those small LED candles using disposable watch/button batteries. I use ones using standard AA batteries, which means I can use NiMH rechargeables.
The valuable thing to a business is not code, it’s the people in your business that understand the code.

German work anti-discrimination laws are very pro-employee. I know a case where a company had an advert for a "junior developer" and a guy in his late 50s who got rejected after sending his application sued for sole purpose of age discrimination. The company settled in the end for almost a years salary after the judge hinted that a settlement would be wise (labour cases are often settled in Germany). Just because the usage of the word "junior".
