This feels more or less in line with what my team has found, we gave everyone a copilot seat in our Github org, and anecdotally speaking it feels like we've seen roughly a 5-10% increase in productivity. This is of course self reported and not measured against any metrics. Assuming we're right about that, its an easy sell when we account for what our internal hourly rate is.

we also found the same as the OP, It's good for simple problems or boilerplate, not great for more complex problems.

Whether "ChatGPT has actual consciousness" depends on what you consider "consciousness" to be, and what are your criteria for deciding whether something has it.

Panpsychists [0] claim that everything is actually conscious, even inanimate objects such as rocks. If rocks have actual consciousness, why can't ChatGPT have it too? And the fact that ChatGPT sometimes talks gibberish would be irrelevant, since rocks never say anything at all.

Of course, you obviously aren't a panpsychist – nor am I. Still, can we prove that they are wrong? Not sure if anyone actually can.

Hi, Linkerd person here. I don't use HN much these days but I was pointed me to your comment. First, thank you for your empathy. The truth is that as much as I would prefer it otherwise, this change is required for Linkerd's survival and future growth. In turn I have empathy for you—we've put you in a tough situation with this, and while with 7 prod clusters it seems fair to ask your company to help fund the project (maybe you disagree), it doesn't seem fair that the onus to push this change through your company falls on you. I know this is a consequence of how we designed this transition but I wish there were a way we could make this part better. FWIW, we do have a team of folks who are very good at working the process, and at your scale we have flexibility on terms and pricing, so I think we can make it easy in your specific situation. Some of the new features are focused on cost reduction so there is an opportunity to appease the budgetary gods.

In terms of the stability guarantees you point out, that has always been the case for edge releases. They contain the latest changes on main, and while we try to keep that as stable as possible, things can break. Everything is well-documented and we try our best to at least have you able to make an informed decision.

Hope that helps, I'm always up for a deeper chat if you want to send me an email. (At the bottom of the blog post.)

looks like they are checking for a number of ad blocking extensions and mark it as "At Risk" if detected

Not surprised at all. As with a lot of things these days, the "security" they are talking about is to secure their ability to shove whatever shit they want down your throat without you being able to resist.
self note: realize this when I login to the website to check my bill and now there is always an orange bar saying I am using unsupported browser, and a pop up every time I open the website.

The bigger problem I think is I cannot dismiss the bar. Of course I can use adblocker element match to block it but it is a hostile move imo.

This is a super tricky topic, which is why it sparks so much dialog.

Like …

- video game platforms, what about them? They all have similar platform fees & requirements that Apple has but yet they are getting a pass on this topic.

- other platforms. Why is it ok that YouTube takes 40% cut of ad revenue from content creators?

- analogy to in-store retail. Imagine Apple is like your neighborhood Walmart. If Walmart is going to put a product on its shelf, they are only going to do so long as they can mark it up and sell it for a profit. Why is Apple not allowed to do the same for their “virtual shelf” (aka App Store)?

- if people think 30% is too high, what is the right rate? Is it 25? 20? Something less? Who decides what’s fair?

- Security. There’s no question that Apple being the single facilitation mechanism for payments drives out fraud and provides a better consumer experience & trust (for both the consumer and Apple). To much fraud on their platform, through rogue sideloading payments, could deter the consumer experience of Apple and effect the adoption of their products. Why should Apple be forced to allow a new fraud vector and put consumers at risk? This will deteriorate their brand.

And much more.

Note: I’m not saying I agree with Apple or its tactics, but it’s also not black or white either.

This is a very tricky topic that is way more nuanced than most people acknowledge.

And obviously there isn’t much precedent for this either.
You don't need to cover packages. You could just say this: the standard convention is that the source for each Go program lives in its own directory, and it starts running the code in a file called `main.go`. To run the Go program in the current directory, run `go run .`

Introducing the concept of "packages", and the fact that the directory is a package, can be deferred until later.

Quartz isn't really similar to Display PostScript. Vector drawing is done client-side and isn't proxied out to the window server like NeWS and NeXT did. Sure, you can use Quartz to draw to a PDF, but you can do that in Cairo too.
It's a nitpick BTW. Of course a bit more context would help I think, but I probably appreciate your edits to keep it brief too. As I mentioned, I really appreciate how concise and to the point it was. Thanks for writing.

> Thank God for American Hpme Warranty, it actually does pay at least two-fold over 5-year worth of its premium costs.

Hah, your experience was very different to mine, then.

Bought a house two years ago, realtor purchased an AHW policy.

I knew the AC was on its last legs from inspection, and no problem, since it was an older 80% old refrigerant system, probably closing on 30 years old. Figured it could wait one summer, in between all the other purchases with a new home.

That year, Seattle decided to have a heat wave. Maybe not much for those in Phoenix, but four days in a row of 105F+. That's still hot.

And it's even hotter when you have no AC, as ours died a couple of hours into day 1.

So I call the HWC. They "are having trouble" finding someone for "emergency service". Their idea of "emergency service" is "we have a company that will be out there in four WEEKS".

So I found someone who could come out that day, for a surcharge. Reasonable. And the AC was dead. But this company were nice - the tech said "no promises, no commitments" and he did some shifty magic and got it running for about six more hours before it was permanently to the graveyard.

So we started getting quotes for a new HVAC system.

Responses from AHW:

- we won't pay if you don't use our suppliers

- we won't pay if you don't choose from our list of models (which were all low end, 80%, 1 stage systems)

- even if you use our supplier, we won't pay above $X. If they quote you higher, the difference is on you.

- if you used another contractor for ANY maintenance work on the existing system, we won't pay

- if the maintenance schedule wasn't followed (whether you owned the system/property at the time), we won't pay

There's a common phrase in each of those statements.
Same here, but you can disable that behaviour, and then it’s nicer [0].

Yes, that too, but also just fucking privacy. A basic notion that your financial movements shouldn't be an open book to any bureaucrat, functionary, corporate drone or algorithm under the sun. We rightfully take personal privacy seriously in many other things, but suddenly you try to apply the logic to something as deeply sensitive as one's economic life and many would-be nannies lose their shit. Many of you on this very comment thread sound like government agents ranting about "protecting children" with their attempts at encryption backdoors.

The only difference is that you apply it to preventing people from controlling the keys to how and where they keep or send their money. Why? Because "terrorists!" "Money Laundering!", Tax evasion!" Oh my! How many of these justifications wouldn't even exist if government wasn't so heavy handed in slathering on endless regulations to criminalize whole areas of human activity that never needed to be harmful or criminal in the first place?

I'll also note here that in many countries, employees at major banks and at major government offices collude with organized crime to a pervasive degree, and actively look at the accounts of people with signs of having come into large amounts of money (but without corresponding protective power of their own) for the sake of extorting or even kidnapping them. I live in one such country. It's easy to bleat about the need for KYC and making sure everyone "pays their fair share" (a thing that anyhow barely functions as claimed even in the most KYC-obsessed countries, since the wealthy use all kinds of legal loopholes and special connections to keep their funds safe) if you live in a place where the powers that be aren't overtly parasitical and criminal. It's a little more difficult to apply the same in other parts of the world.

I hope I'm allowed to share GPT output here because I asked GPT4 to explain OpenAI's postmortem message and this is what it said:

> Large language models (LLMs) like GPT operate using statistics to predict the next word in a sentence. Think of it like a highly sophisticated version of your phone's autocorrect that predicts what you're going to type next, but on a much larger scale.

> The system represents words as numbers, or "tokens," as part of its internal language. It uses these tokens to generate text by selecting them based on how likely they are to come after what's already been written.

> On February 20, 2024, an update meant to improve the system introduced a glitch in the part of the model that picks out these numbers. Imagine trying to grab a red marble from a bag without looking and accidentally grabbing a blue one instead—similarly, the model grabbed the wrong tokens.

> Because of this, the system started spewing out words that didn't make sense together. It's like if your autocorrect suddenly started inserting random, incorrect words into your sentences.

> The technical side of the bug involved something called "inference kernels," which are part of the system's operations. When used with certain types of graphics processing units (GPUs)—special hardware to process data—the kernels didn't work properly.

> Once the error was spotted, a correction was made to the system. After the fix, everything went back to normal, and the model resumed generating coherent responses.

It would be better if they elaborated on what "certain GPU configurations" meant because that's basically the central piece here.

Most people I know would never even consider buying a new car and pay more like $5k (maybe max $10k), nothing near $30k. But lots of them have home solar. I can see them going for a new EV if EVs are much cheaper than for an equivalent ICE car.

Hardly can find work at current economy, good luck building a startup / getting that investor money. Already surrended to the fact I'll be fighting non-stable income until the end.
The point isn't the specifics; the point is that this isn't a postmortem.

A postmortem should be detailed enough for someone to understand the background, how the problem came to be, then what happened, and the walk-through what has been done such that it won't happen again. It takes … well at least a page. This is far too short to quality.

This is more "ugh, here's a rough explanation, please go away now" territory.

OpenAI isn't the first company to abuse the term this way, though. But it devalues the real PMs out there.
Insane amounts of money don’t make the right employees or corporate structure appear out of thin air or answer questions about how novel architectures perform under novel conditions overnight.

You mean your company hasn't fired all their testers and made the devs do it themselves yet? I'm jealous.
Source? I searched around and couldn't find the tariff rate on sedans. There's a bunch of results for Trump's proposed 25% tariff and existing "chicken tax" on 25% for trucks, but nothing for sedans. Moreover, even if we go with the rate for trucks, that would mean that the truck would cost 12.5k, which is more but still in the "ridiculously cheap" price range.
Hah along with “do not beg for your life when a new release is ready”.
We should regulate cars to be safer because I don't get to decide which car (or, more likely, truck) the moron who puts me/my family in the hospital (or the grave) was driving. Given the trends in traffic and pedestrian deaths in the US, our regulators are grossly negligent in this regard.
I've tried it with fish and found that, for me, it didn't add much and wasn't worth the switch, but it is arguably slightly better than fish's built-in history; so I'd say only bother if you particularly love learning new things of this type.

That's why I said traditional key. They're just metal with a few parts cut to a specific profile. It's once you start mucking around with immobilizers and other encrypted things that need the factory tools...

True but that's still a bit further away. The screen contents (when mostly working with text) is a much better constrained and cleaner environment compared to camera feeds from real life. And most of the fleeting info we tend to forget appears on screens anyway.

I've already had to "crack" web apps with my MITM proxy to force them to behave, but in the past there haven't been many. This is an escalation that is not surprising, and the reason why we must strongly oppose remote attestation if we are to continue to have freedom and control over our computing environments.

They are 100% using "open source" as a distraction here. The fact that you can see the source is irrelevant for the purpose they are trying to use this for.

Maybe don't criticize without knowing the full situation, eh? Your uninformed, holier-than-thou attempt at dressing me down isn't particularly useful.

Guy was a pain on the mailing list (and occasionally on IRC, too), nagging for code reviews and merges, against a team of part-time volunteers. He'd open many merge requests in a short time span, most of them changing a fair bit of code, some doing some mid-sized refactoring. Very rarely would he discuss his changes with the maintainers before making them.

And when someone disagreed with his approach, he'd get testy and push his point of view harder. Not a team player, not someone I'd ever want to work with, whether on a volunteer open source project or in a professional paid work setting.

> The appropriate response is a shrug and a "thanks".

Not if the contributions (and interactions with the contributor) create a lot of make-work for the maintainers where the benefit is unclear or known to be fairly low. I'm certainly not going to thank someone for creating more work for me that doesn't need to be done.

> If you have problems with his PRs go bring them up with him.

The problems were mostly "this doesn't need to be done, and you're changing the code from something I already know to something I don't, and I'm the one who has to navigate and maintain it, so this will be a net negative to me". And yet... the MRs kept coming.

I'm not going to claim the existing code is the best code in the world; some of my parts were written by me 15-20 years ago when I was fairly junior, and it could use some improvement. But going in and changing things without first talking to a maintainer is not the way to do it.

Don't get me wrong, some MRs ended up getting merged. Some of the maintainers did think that some of them were useful. But it felt like sorting through all of it to figure out what was actually useful, was more effort than it was worth.
> This feels like a massive antipattern. Why is this lauded as a "feature"? Why do I want my build system to automatically reach out to the Internet and download random code, without an explicit request to do so like "npm install"?

It's not random code, it's code you've expressly used.
It's not accurate as I said I other comment. Software is tested not just on the machine nowadays. I think you'll find most asml employees hesitant to share more, I'm not sure what I can say either.
I think they are correct, do you have a source? From my knowledge the only other components are the fully connected networks which are not big contributors.
