> I find it as a shortcut to debugging. I see it as, I can spend 2-3 hours googling stuff, or I can spend about 45 minutes talking to gpt to pin point the bug and come up with a viable solution.

This raises some questions for me. When I say I'm "debugging", I'm usually stepping through the execution of my program and constantly analyzing how results that my program is producing differ from my expectations.

I don't know anything about your bugs to be able make any general claims, but are you sure that your 2-3h of "googling stuff" that were reduced to 45 minutes of "talking to gpt" couldn't be reduced to 5-30 minutes of using a real debugger to find the error?

It takes a lot of practice to develop debugging skills that allow you to efficiently and methodically track down most common bugs. Delegating the thinking part of that process to a LLM sounds like a crutch to me.
That’s where I think it gets complicated. At a physical level, yes, of course. But at the psychological or moral level, it’s murkier. People can be coerced, manipulated, or just plain drugged, and in a legal setting we would consider those to reduce culpability.

I’m so sorry for your loss.

Some heart problems aren’t really detectable after death. I have Long QT syndrome, which is basically an electrical problem that affects heart rhythm and makes people who have it susceptible to sudden cardiac arrest. Because it’s an electrical problem, you wouldn’t see it if the heart isn’t beating. It’s taken out at least two people in my genetic family. I’m not sure if you were tested for that (genetic testing would be best), but it might be worth looking into.

LongQT is notoriously difficult to pick up on an EKG unless they are using a 12-lead EKG and looking for it and even then it might be a no show. When I was tested, I was originally told by the cardiologist that I did not have it. Then my daughter was tested and she _did_ have it, and she would have only gotten it from me. So they did genetic testing on me and confirmed.

The cardiologist was wrong, but it wasn’t his fault. I’d suggest getting additional testing other than an EKG.
[Repeated Vaccination May Generate Immune Tolerance to the SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein]

IgG4 is not crucial to understanding the content.

omitting the requirement of repeated vaccination, and specificity to spike protien, creates an impression the hypothesis applies to much wider conditions than is actually the case.

may generate is important as this communicates the idea that this is not fact, but rather, a possibility that should be investigated further.
> That means each laser is grossly underused on average, at 0.432% of its maximum capacity.

Don't forget that every communication protocol has fixed and variable overhead.

The first is a function of the packet structure. It can be calculated by simply dividing the payload capacity of a packet by the total number of bits transmitted for that same packet.

Variable overhead is more complex. It has to do with transactions, negotiations, retries, etc.

For example, while the theoretical overhead of TCP/IP is in the order of 5%, actual overhead could be as high as 20% under certain circumstances. In other words, 20% of the bits transmitted are not data payload but rather the cost of doing business.
It's even better because thanks to the Start Menu randomization process either could appear first in the results. Sometimes they will switch position after being presented.
Quantifying the Impact of Developer Experience
I don't think it is very controversial and haven't seen anyone actively saying it is a good thing. I think all division and debate is around if and how much anyone should care.

I see a lot of declarations that it is bad, inexcusable, disgusting, ect. What I dont see is what people think the implications or consequences of that determination are. When someone says that, what do they want to happen?

Do they just want other people to acknowledge it was bad, and then everyone goes on with their life? Do the police make them wear a scarlet letter or send them out into the wilderness. Does it mean that people should unfollow them on twitter?

What the OP said is backed by large studies. For example, the HackerRank 2020 study (n=116,000) found that developers who code for fun tend to score higher on skill assessments.

The statement in my previous post, where I claimed most good programmers began coding for fun is also reasonable.

Having studied CS in a large state school, I did not find any student that did not begin programming for fun prior to enrolling at university.

I understand that this may not hold for every possible case, e.g. programmers without a CS degree that discovered programming later on, but it is still pretty reasonable.

> The slow drop into political violence begins with speech normalizing calling for death and murder.

I have seen this a lot lately in online discussions of homelessness and people accused of crime. It's very unsettling.

That is the context of why Mr Tan wrote that -- there's a popular narrative that specific individuals are complicit in crime and homelessness in San Francisco. This leads to lots of ad hominem and in my view rises to the level of conspiracy theory in many -- it's not like every problem is the fault of a single office holder or even a "cabal" of them. Voting against someone or supporting different candidates is one thing. Calling them solely responsible for all that you consider evil, escalating to the level of death threats, is quite another.

And that's just politicians. It's also routine to see people call for violence on homeless people or people accused of crime.
Here is a simple maths problem that GPT-4 gets right but Bard (even the Gemini Pro version) consistently gets wrong: “What is one (short scale) centillion divided by the cube of a googol?”

But you are right, we don’t know the types of prompts Chatbot Arena users are submitting. Maths problems like that are probably a small minority of usage.

One other thing I notice: if you ask about controversial issues, both GPT-3.5/4 and Bard can get a bit “preachy” from a progressive perspective - but I personally find Bard to be noticeably more “preachy” than OpenAI at this (while still not reaching Llama levels)

If we're not funding and arming organizations known for killing, kidnapping, and raping, I'm glad to hear the IDF will not longer be receiving arms manufactured in the US and UK.

Meanwhile, it's amusing the rape claims keep coming, even though not one woman has actually claimed that she was raped. But sure, it was widespread. Most certainly near the pile of 40 beheaded babies. Except, whoops, Haaretz reported the list of those killed on 10/7, and only one person was under the age of 3. Given the number of those killed by the IDF themselves due to the Hannibal protocol, there's a pretty high chance even that one wasn't killed by Hamas, who was more interested in military targets.

Made a Hacker News account for this: The experience of working with regulators
FN 1 of this substack post was painfully familiar from my experience of "collaborating" with a regulator on the structure of a new market being developed. Everyone I've shared with has reacted with a "this is funny and sad how true it is."

FN pasted here:
It’s a pretty standard bridge troll maneuver. Entrepreneurs use technology to build vastly better products for customers, over and above what incumbents offer. Eventually, some knuckle-dragging regulator comes around demanding to know why so many things are different than before, and what about X,Y,Z horrible things that might happen.

At first, the startup tries graciously to explain why these changes are improvements, and for all the hypothetical harms, there have been few or any actual harms, and generally speaking, the company is laser-focused on building products that customers want and like, and if there were lots of harms, the company would suffer the cost. Regulators don’t really understand the businesses they regulate, and know next to nothing about consumers, or consumer protection, but they do know how to make and enforce rules, so they still demand changes that make everything demonstrably worse (and likely a pound of flesh for their trouble). These demands likely play out over a period of months, with lots of confusing mixed-messages, and will likely include various nonsensical (and factually incorrect) claims and demands, that will require clarification, which will only come at the regulator’s glacial pace.

At a certain point, a principled company, who’s survival and success depends on delivering excellence and consumer protection, where time is quite literally money, gets justifiably annoyed at the lectures and demands from the know-nothing, bad faith thugs who are hellbent on breaking everything for reasons that make no sense and they can’t actually explain, outside of spluttering about their rules and demands. Indeed, they will feel their good faith efforts have been taken advantage of, and their faith in the “system” totally shaken. The entrepreneurs might even think to themselves, “this isn’t fair, and it’s bad, so we won’t listen to this thuggery any longer.”

At which point, that bridge trolls get really really mad and they shut you down, and your partners too, just to make sure you know who’s boss. Then the regulators will issue a press release about how you did all kinds of things to put consumers at-risk, smugly pat their tum-tums for a job well done, and move on to another victim, completely insulated from the costs of their thuggery. When they retire, they will be thanked for their “public service” and they will actually (and improbably) believe it.

Ironically (or predictably), that regulators are insulated from their harmful anti-consumer actions is precisely why they perpetrate so much consumer harm (relative to the firms they variously shakedown and extort).

None of this is an exaggeration, btw. It’s 100% what it’s like, and it’s precisely what incentives would predict, but very few people will say it out-loud, because the penalty for doing so can be quite severe. Remember, everyone hates regulators—even regulators hate regulators.
