I was aware of the white background results, hence my other example query. Both yielded the same result.

7/25 = 0.28 = 28%. That's awful accuracy. Google would be out of business if their general search accuracy had a similar success rate.

Interesting how "black american family" yields results where not a single person in the result is anything but Black. I suppose Google doesn't think that blended families are possible for this query. Where's that 28% precision rate this time?
Whether or not you agree with the greater philosophical goal of Bitcoin, Bitcoin proved the ability to create a system of value using basically just cryptography and with a built-in reward system to incentivize the decentralization of the network -- and it grew enough that it can now operate as a standalone method of payment. It's an amazing feat.

Snowden is correct here: https://twitter.com/Snowden/status/1759304612664779247
I'm a "KM" "SME" and I can tell you that there is no doubt that every productivity gain in the last year has been $bigcorp employees feeding pseudo-anonymized business requirements and contexts into ChatGPT.

OpenAI + any half-assed data broker could easily infer the company, as I am sure they have already done.

All hail Microsoft, I am glad I chose the right AI megacorp overload early.
I was wondering why it looked so... corpo-humanist.
Well, I hold crypto, but admittedly it's kind of failed as far as payments are concerned.

I used to use BTC quite regularly for payments back in like 2014-2015. But now, it's too expensive to move around due to fees so I just hold it. The same can be said even of ETH - the fees are too high to interact with a lot of the DeFi stuff.

There are 'layer 2' solutions that tackle the fees issue but uptake of these has been slow.

It's why they pivoted to calling BTC a store of value years ago. The payments side of crypto is kind of disappointing.

Capitalism is a system composed of many agents with conflicting wants.

A lot of the capital owning capitalists would prefer the markets to be less free in many ways. If I own a toll road, I really don't want a parallel toll road. This sounds like a ridiculous allowance in a capitalist system but look up the Ambassador Bridge. It is very much in that owner's interest for the market to not be free at all.

If you look at lobbying, many capitalists advocate for less free markets all the time. I'm not just talking about the capital owners either. Labor advocates push for less freedom in the markets consistently through wage floors and legal restrictions on employers.

It seems like there is an equilibrium point where a completely free (meaning every person for himself) devolves to the point where the lack of trust becomes too high of a transactional cost. Both food producers and food consumers benefit from regulations that don't allow you to sell sawdust disguised as flour just because you are able to convince someone that it will work the same.
> I genuinely feel that I'm probably right

We are wired that way for a reason. Until you personally see conflicting evidence you have to make an assumption or you would spend your life paralyzed or ignorant.

Biology rewards action more than accuracy.
My opinion: Security is only a concept; You can lock a door, but it can be broken into; or like the lines on a road - They are suggestive, nothing stops you from crossing over, even barriers can be crossed given speed or size.

With that, I see cyber security as an auditor and/or teaching field. =D

Lyft already had the ability to charge my credit card, as they do for almost everyone I assume. Robinhood actually just deducted the amount from my balance and then sent me a "you have negative cash in your account please add funds or we will sell positions to cover" message, which is a bit bonkers in itself.
Compression helps transfer but your device still has to parse all of that code. This comes up in discussions about reach because there’s an enormous gap between iOS and Android CPU performance which gets worse when you look at the cheaper devices a lot of the public use where new Android devices sold today perform worse than a 2014 iPhone. If your developers are all using recent iPhones or flagship Android devices, it’s easy to miss how much all of that code bloat affects the median user.

The corollary (if you’re cynical) is that you get Massive Credit for waiting to deploy a solution until the problem becomes a Major Crisis. That is, there’s a big incentive to to prepare the solution preemptively but not deploy.

How bizarre. I guess I can count myself lucky that I don't seem to live in that particular world.

Is the problem the incentive itself, eg. if they didn't reward fixed bugs would you write better (even just better communicated) code?
this seems like a purposely malicious take on it. GNU people, and the people who develop the gimp, are on a mission to make things they WANT TO MAKE. How do you get the nerve to prescribe them as some form of missionaries that goes around telling people "you should want to modify your layers THIS way, simpleton" ?

And as far as free software, I think they generally think "people ought to care more about freedom for everyone, than closing stuff up"
To access the serial port remotely you need to add hardware to bridge it to the network. Or you go up to the machine and plug in another computer with a keyboard and monitor to access it directly.

App developer here. Sadly, it’s what works. Put differently: when users browse for apps, it’s usually when their need for sth that solves the problem is relatively high. Which means you have a much higher chance of converting that user right now during onboarding than anytime later in the lifecycle of your app.

I wish Apple properly displayed prices though instead of this sneaky vague “contains in-app purchases” text.
>While a model like GPT-4 offers unmatched suggestion quality, it's impossible to run on every keystroke (unless you charge users $1,000/month)

Still alot less than the average SWE salary and this cost will go down over time.

Anyway, jokes aside, I usually don't use copilot tools in my IDEs. I have zero difficulty with coding itself. I would not enable one unless i'm trying to learn a new language or something. I can see how they would be helpful for more junior level engineers, but they'd still need someone senior to check for security vulnerabilities and the like.

Where LLMs come in handy is more complicated scenarios like understanding legacy spaghetti code, learning a new API without having to read the documentation, finding out how do to X in a new framework, undocumented behaviours and as a solo founder, non code tasks like marketing copy, mock customer interviews, writing data science type SQL queries to better understand my metrics, naming my subscription plans etc which I otherwise would not be that great at.

For these tasks I always use GPT-4 which almost always gets good results. But its nowhere near the level where it could replace an actual engineer, even if you fed it an entire codebase.

Assuming we manage to build viable reactors to use it.
Went through this exact scenario at my job recently. As the tech lead/architect of an org I reviewed a bunch of recently released projects and identified areas that needed critical improvements because they had major reliability/performance issues. One team had multiple releases at the top of the list, and their PM and eng manager (and really everyone else up the chain) simply ignored all concerns because they had to prioritize feature updates instead.

Fast forward a few months – I was on vacation and shit blew up. There was a sev 1 escalation, several customers were pissed, the CEO/CTO were involved. The team in question – the same one that wrote the shoddy code and ignored all warnings bells – worked round the clock and got the service back up. Now they are heroes for their effort and the same manager I mentioned has a great reputation at the company for being so active and communicative and showcasing his leadership during the outage.
Seems like a waste to throw away the ISS. I also disagree with the idea of corporations having to independently duplicate efforts instead of collaborating on a shared station.

Taking NASA's rationale at face value (namely, that the bones of the ISS are too old and that adding new modules to replace the old ones is out of the question): what design decisions will the ISS' successor(s) take to avoid this same exact situation 30 years from now?
It's curious what it does with single letters. Seems for me to often settle on a small rather detailed building. The more I repeat the letter (e.g., "111" vs "11111111" the odder the building gets. Which I can see now seems pretty sensitive to the seed.
HTMX relying on a server request to make even minor UI changes (e.g. their first example https://htmx.org/examples/click-to-edit/) is wild to me.

You might remember when a thing called DHTML revolutionized how JavaScript could be used to build interactive UIs on the web... why go back to pre-2001 era?

I get it, SPAs are overkill, but swinging the pendulum all the way back is very strange.
I really must be missing something with all of these tools writing code for you. Shipping my entire codebase off to some unknown party does not seem like a worthwhile tradeoff for not having to write my own indentation function or whatever.
The post you're replying to is just pointing out that the quoted amount (they THEY were replying to) is missing the "million" abbreviation on the end.

So it looks like the original claim was India did it for US$74.00. ;)
Difference being the web was meant to grow as hyperlinked documents, not separate programs. It's not the same kind of thing.

LLMs are more like apps being produced by different companies trying to capture walled gardens, and their open source counterparts.
I think you are seeing just how desperately many people want a "truth machine". Sure, LLM's are terrible for the purpose, but if you have nothing else, you cling to it with all your force. Instead of mocking them, pity them like the baby monkey clinging to its wire frame mother: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Harlow
It's not even that easy in KSP!
The JWST is on a similar level of impressive (if not more), and arguably more important than a single moon landing, and the general public doesn't have much interest in that either.
We're building an AI Agent that can perform manual testing on feature branches [1]. I can tell you, it works, and it's going to get better, and it's going to happen fast. It's not hard at all for an AI to read text on the screen and click it.

What's amazing is the social impact this has - often people don't believe it's real. It feels like when I had to explain to my parents that in my online multiplayer game, that the other characters were other kids at home on their own computers.

I think it's a matter of denial. Yes, software is made for humans and we will always need to validate that humans can use that software. But should a human really be required to manually test every PR in 10k person teams?

Again, as a founder of an AI Agent for E2E testing, we work with this every day. If I was a QA professional right now, I would watch the space closely in the next 6 months. The other option is to specialize in the emotional human part like in gaming. You can't test for "fun."

There are no negatieve quanta and there are no negatieve qualities. It would be hilarious to suggest there would be products of the two.

You have 3 baskets with 5 apples each, you remove 7 apples from each basket, remove 5 baskets and you have -2 baskets with -2 apples each thus therefore you have 4 apples left all without the involvement of trees, like Jezus!

Yeah, i can see people laugh at that.
I wouldn't be so sure. As an employee and team member, you'll be better perceived if you do your share of performative firefighting every one in a while. I wish it wasn't true, but it usually is. (Though at remote teams, it's less and less true, with the remote teams I was on, nobody really cared).

"wow, last week we had such nasty bug, impossible to track down, also caused production reliability issues. Tom stayed up all night, and finally pushed the fix at 3 in the morning."

Now, if you then say that it wouldn't have happened if 1. Tom didn't overcomplicate the system, 2. Tom learned our tools properly, 3. Tom actually understood the requirements and at least tested his changes at least once manually, 4. Wrote good code so that it's easy to troubleshoot 5. Wouldn't have forced a rushed PR review together with the product owner.

You'll just sound like a bitter, know it all.
In SpaceX's case, they'd probably be the "but we've regained it" side of things.

As a software engineer who pays more attention on security than average, I often feel my work didn't get recognized. For example, if I successfully prevented a supply chain attack, nobody would say thanks to me for a thing that didn't happen, even when they see a competitor product gets attacked. Similarly, most C/C++ programmers do not really care about integer overflow. But I know we are no longer in the world that computer viruses are everywhere(though ransomware are still common). The, who made it better? The people who are not satisfied with stuff that "just works".

CGNAT is for IPv4, so users can share IPs. It's pretty hard to use the internet without IPv4 access today, so it's not that much of a limitation.

I’m sorry to be a naysayer… but you can’t say React is a better performant or higher scale when the user experience down right stinks. There are a few exceptions, but it is overused to the point of detriment of the entire web so some developer can scratch an over engineering itch.
I don't know specifically about wifi but, check out EME bounces. With a hand held ham radio on the 6M band and a directional antenna made from like $6 of supplies from your local hardware store, you can have a radio that can bounce a signal off the moon and talk to someone on the other side of the earth.
> So, our ellipse E is the set of all points y such that y = Ax where x is in the unit ball [and A is a transformation matrix].

Which makes sense ... why pay for a foreign franchise and then serve the low-end market, especially when you can just spin up your own brand for that (cf: the entirely undrinkable but very cheap Black Canyon Coffee).

For Thailand specifically, The Pizza Company's[0] back-story is kinda interesting, which is that they used to be the local Pizza Hut franchisee, and then "something happened", and they simply rebranded while serving almost identical menus.

It was a dark time. It generated so much internal controversy (many googlers agreed with Damore) that Sundar had to cut his vacation short, and an interest group managed to get the "company-wide chat" about it cancelled because they said they were at risk of physical harm. memegen and plus were a mess for months. People argued (as they do here) about the semantics of what he said, and what his underlying thinking about women was, whether "the science" was valid, etc. People saying smart things would get yelled down, and people saying dumb things would get upvotes. And vice versa.

You probably made the right choice. Google had already been in decline at that point, but it was clear that Sundar was no leader, just somebody Larry Page appointed to maintain the peace between his lieutenants so the engine could keep printing money.
But that's the thing, prompt formulation is not engineering in the sense I'm talking about. We know why a plane flies, we know why an engine turns, we know how a CPU works - mostly. We don't know how GenAI gets from the prompt to the result with any specificity at all. Almost all the informational entropy of the output is hidden from us.

The more challenging feature is building a configuration wizard that figures out your content structure for you. I think this will adoption a lot as the main friction right now is around getting a working config file up and running.
