I think there's a pedagogical component too. The way that things are taught have an outsized impact in how people think things are done. This extends far beyond concepts.

For example, and I've been guilty of this too, in data science, it's common for tutorials and examples to be use ipython/jupyter notebooks. This, however, should not be mistaken for "It's a good idea to use notebooks as part of the code-to-production pipeline." It's an easy mistake to make, and implicitly part of how AI/ML is taught.
The code is here https://source.winehq.org/source/dlls/ntdll/sync.c#0474 and it uses compare exchange operations throughout, so it should be unaffected.

The ReactOS implementation is more involved https://doxygen.reactos.org/d1/db8/srw_8c_source.html but still, it uses mostly CAS operations both for the shared and the exclusive case. So it should be largely free from issues.

I'm the same in that I'd say "oh I've been reading so and so" this week, but I think GP meant it in terms of the period when they're actively listening, like, "what are you doing right now?" "I'm listening to an audiobook."
Access to servers such as these, for pennies per hour, will accelerate authors of those packages porting them to RISC-V.

It's a lot lower barrier to entry than buying the equivalent board outright for $180.

You can also just do `docker run -it riscv64/ubuntu` on your x86 or Mac, at zero incremental cost.

Spot on, the true agenda behind this became entirely obvious to me right after reading that sentence.

Otherwise also a mediocre, rather incoherent piece especially for someone with a PhD.
Agreed. I notice daily fluctuation in my relative aptitudes for visually vs aurally ingesting media. On days when vision feels tough, I'll use osx screen reader at ~3x speed while looking at the document. Seeing the document helps me navigate, but I stumble when trying to parse sentences w/o the reader. Other days, I appreciate flitting around visually, parsing sentences nonlinearly and glancing back and ahead.
My point was that you will not solve this with a startup, because of how a startup must operate due to its inherent nature (ruthlessly capital efficient, constrained runway). You must operate this as a long term, sustainable operation (perhaps a public private partnership), like you would build a nuclear reactor over years or a decade. To not do this is to ignore the muscle memory needed to retain the core component: teams of skilled labor with options. It’s a flywheel you bring up to speed with capital, a pipeline/book of work far into the future, and domain experienced management.

> > My point wasn't even about who was correct. My point was that not everyone believed the lies.

> Eh: "Everyone sane knew at the time that Iraq had no WMD".

You're misrepresenting the order of the conversation, and you cut off the end of the above quote that mentioned "hindsight". My citation of the protests was in response to this claim:

> It's easy to say in hindsight "well of course there weren't any WMDs!" but with the knowledge of what was available to the public, it really wasn't that clear, and it very well could have been true.

I understand that you don't like my initial statement "Everyone sane knew at the time that Iraq had no WMD", because of what it might imply about you personally. However, when I said "My point was", I was referring to the protests and hindsight. There's a myth that everyone at the time believed Iraq had WMD, but no, a large number of people did not believe it. You were trying to dismiss the protesters by comparing them with cranks, but they were actually the largest protests that the world had ever seen.

I think it's safe to say that the US as a whole wasn't particularly sane after 9/11. We went out of our minds, invading two sovereign nations, creating a vast extra-legal apparatus of secret unaccountable courts and domestic spying that still exists today, imprisoned people for years under inhumane conditions in Gitmo without trial or any legal rights, committed torture, etc. The response was vastly disproportionate and irrational (much like the Israeli response now).
The fact that their now 1.5k token system prompt is forced into every response makes it not worth it, even though it's "unlimited". API makes a lot more sense for most purposes.

AI (as we talk about it today) is statistics.

Better statistical models will help us identify diseases, and maybe molecules we can use to fight those diseases.

But "AI" is not magic sauce you can slather on to a problem to get a solution. It's going to take statistics-savvy medical professionals, and medicine-savvy data professionals, working together. We've complicated things to bring solutions within reach that might've not been within reach before, so we're going to have to be smarter about how we apply these new tools.
That’s super awesome, love the idea!!

Browser support for printing is so bad that I'm going to have to create a native app for https://www.thingybase.com to have a streamlined workflow of printing labels to a thermal label printer.

It works now, but first you have to download a PDF and print that. Google Docs does this too when you hit "Print".

I've tried hacks like load the PDF in an iframe and use some JavaScript to print that, but then I get footers with the URL of the webpage, which doesn't work for my purposes.

If you work on Chrome/Blink, Safari/Webkit, or Firefox/Mozilla please please please at least get the hacks working!

A CSS standard would be great, but really I'd be happy if I could call a function like `windows.print("/document.pdf")` and have it print the PDF without all the footer/headers stuff.
Because it's more about leftist politics than AI and Medicine ... I was just as disappointed.

That is an example of a good, narrow task area that a small model could be good at, with current tech, which differs from general AI assistants like GPT-4. Using mixture of experts with task specific fine-tuning, I can see it being possible, but I was mainly saying Phi 2 ain't it. It may be a good starting place! Also, a code completion model could totally end up easily installed in a major Linux distro's default package manager soon, if not already.
I'm guessing he just froze water when the temperature dropped below zero at night, and everything else is nonsense.

What makes you believe that progress is linear, or at least a line forever going up?

I keep seeing people predicting rapidly improving AI, based on how rapid it improved over the last x months.

But why is that not an outlier? How do we know we haven't hit a ceiling and stagnating? Isn't progress typically very bumpy and sudden?
Cancer is here to stay as long as organic DNA is the source code of molecular biology. The combination of data gathering and AI will help accelerate every step of drug development to make cancer more manageable, but we still need to think in terms of 50+ years for serious progress. https://key.bio
Oh man. When it’s so close but wrong it’s amazing for creative endeavors! For technical ones, it is quite a bad thing. It’s like being a Star Wars fan but the AI just wants to talk about Star Trek.

I think this is why the non-tech people see AI as so amazing. For anything human and non-technical, the “almost but not quite” nature is a good thing.

I was using an AI to help me debug a weird thing (mainly summarizing log splats hundreds of lines long) and I eventually got pretty close to identifying the issue when I asked “wtaf is this message. Never seen anything like it.” It then went on about how it was offended that I used vulgar language. I had to apologize for saying “wtaf!” Anyway, I found a bug in a linker, so that was fun; thanks Al.

I wonder if it's fair to call the hodgepodge of localized wars WW3 now? It's clear one alliance - Ukraine, Europe, US, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Philippines, Australia, Canada, Israel (recently aligned with Ukraine) - is fighting another alliance - Russia, China, North Korea, Iran, Hamas, Houthi. With countries supplying technology, money, military stockpiles, and in some ways, foot on the ground. With India trying to play both sides, via purchasing Russian oil, but involved in Aukus.

Wikipedia defines a world war as an international conflict that involves most or all of the world's major powers. Times magazine said "two major power blocs of countries fighting for dominance, with numerous nations on each side taking up arms against each other in more than one theater" [1]

Joby Aviation | Bay Area Preferred or Remote (US) | Full Time | https://joby.aero

Located in Northern California, the team at Joby Aviation is driven by our goal of creating an affordable, all-electric air transportation system. Imagine a piloted air taxi that takes off vertically, then quietly carries you and your fellow passengers over the congested city streets below, enabling you to spend more time with the people and places that matter most. Since 2009, our team has worked steadily to make this dream a reality. We’ve designed and tested many generations of prototype aircraft capable of serving in a network of electric air taxis. We’re looking for talented, committed individuals to join our team as we push onwards toward certifying the Joby aircraft with the Federal Aviation Administration, scaling our manufacturing, and preparing to launch commercial service in 2025.

The Air Taxi team is growing and we need more engineers to help build our platform and apps to support day to day operations and rider engagement. Why we like working here:

- Software engineering team is hybrid between the Bay Area and remote. We have an onsite for a week every 3 months where we gather to plan and hang out.

- We're full of aviation enthusiasts so if you're a pilot or want to be this is the place to be.

- The problems we're solving are difficult and fun.

Notable Roles:

- Senior Full Stack Software Engineer: https://careers-jobyaviation.icims.com/jobs/2983/senior-full...

- Senior Backend Software Engineer: https://careers-jobyaviation.icims.com/jobs/2980/senior-back...

Stack:

- Backend: Java, Rust, Federated GraphQL, GRPC, MySQL, Kafka, Redis

- Frontend: Typescript, React, Remix

- Mobile: Swift, SwiftUI + UIKit, TCA
It is dismaying that used paperbacks are often cheaper than e-books. I am ashamed to admit that often buy used paperbacks, despite the negative ecological impact of shipping.
> I was a bit surprised to see that they could demo an early MIT CADR at Xerox PARC. These were large, fragile and rare machines at that time.

They weren't extraordinarily fragile; robot wirewrapping is pretty robust. The next year we shipped a couple of them to Paris and I used them just fine, along with a KL-20 that also made the trip OK.
> T-Head C910: no. It is considered a bit of an old core by now

Announced in July 2019, it is one of the most recent RISC-V cores you can buy. Hardware takes time, usually 3-4 years to go from announcement of a core to an SBC you can buy.

The C910 is the only RISC-V core you can buy in an SoC with 64 of them (Milk-V Pioneer)

The only newer core you can buy is the C908, available only in the K230 SoC on the CanMV-K230 board. It had some advantages (it's the only board rn with Vector 1.0), but it also has the HUGE disadvantages of being single core and only 0.5 GB RAM, vs quad core and 16 GB RAM on this cloud offering.

> Look out for CPUs based on the SiFive P670

This is not available. The first boards are expected late this year.

It will be a huge advance, certainly, with twice the speed per core, and the first SoC SG2380 with it having 16 cores.

But not today.

This seems super logical to me though: it's just way cheaper and simpler to build into the sky: few to no issues with air pressure. Fewer issues with sun-light. No issue with the build-surface moving (except for during earthquakes).

Compared to building underwater: massive costly issues to overcome due to water pressure (when going deep), issues with lack of light. When building at the surface: waves, wind, lack of stable build platform.

These are all issues that where known and predictable in 1899 as well...
Thanks for this comment; it's made me think a bit.

I read somewhere that "burnout is inverse of purpose" - as in, do I feel purpose in what I'm doing? which I think ties in a little bit with "is the problem space interesting" a problem is only worth solving if there's a reason to solve it, which sort of becomes what my issue is about.

I think I've come to the same conclusion that while I'm annoyed, it's not at the success or the size of the company; I think there's just been a change in how the relationship between the team and the product exists. Much like what you've touched on, I've realized the fun and spark isn't there.

What used to be "Go physically watch the customer interact with the product; what's a pain point we can fix?" has become "Here's a list of 40 demands that the customer wants yesterday" and that makes it not worthwhile for me. Neither fun nor interesting.

I'm going to dabble with spending time doing my own side projects that I can get the "purpose" from, and see if I can achieve both the paycheck and the purpose by balancing that time effectively. If it doesn't work out for either of us; then it's no worry, I was half in the mind to change jobs anyway.

But thanks for helping me put this into more thoughts and words. It's helpful to experiment with the ideas but I think you're correct; the tech stack has nothing to do with it (for me, at this moment).

(am jealous of working with Clojure though; that always looks fun.)
For all the faults of the Jones Act, I don’t think that explains the challenges of US ship building. If anything, it keeps US ship building efforts alive when foreign ships would have killed it.

Same here, and if the audiobook has ideas that grab my attention I'll often get the physical book to read later. I find that I can churn through several books a week and find a hidden gem in one that is worth following up.

I'll gladly pay one Audible credit and 3-5 hours of my time while at the gym or running to find out a book isn't worth buying than pay 2-3x as much for the paperback and 9-15 hours of my time dedicated to reading it to find out the same.
One of the things they seem to have figured out is the requirement to at least model a sort of actor-critic architecture with their agents. It helps quite a bit.

They seem to badmouth Aider a tad (not cool) but I do wonder how a full-stack of this + Aider might work? There needs to also be some sort of good test generator involved.

All that said, any time someone actually demonstrates progress on the automated Software Engineer problem and it makes it to HN, I am deeply reminded of the old quote:

"It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it."

Just read through this comments section and check out the pure copium. Yes, ChatGPT can do basic sysadmin tasks with ./configure and make.

Yes it does make sense to work on this now, assuming LLMs will get better, because LLMs have continued to get better on any metric you can imagine.

Finally, yes, AI devs will make landing pages and basic APIs. I didn't realize we were all hardcore world-class 0.01% programmers? I have certainly written a landing page and basic API before, in fact I do that sort of thing a lot more than I write uber1337 hax0r code. You probably do too!

They're also effectively creating a market for linux gaming, which will encourage developers to actually officially support linux.

Note that I use "will" instead of "might" based on personal anecdotal evidence of seeing more and more games support linux natively (not on Proton) since the steamdeck launched. Granted, it's more indie games than AAA, but the latter will never care until the market becomes actually sizable.

Linux has already had decades of long-term "strategy" that did not in any way shape or form bring gaming to linux... except of course for the tireless effort of wine, which is the basis for proton. In other words, even if you're right, and you well might be, I feel that the point is moot since there's no linux gaming market otherwise, and valve can't kill what's already dead.

Unless you have alternative strategies in mind that have not been tried and failed already

Good point.

Water is the crucial factor here in afforestation as a greenhouse gas, though eventually the moisture will evaporate and form clouds which they reverse their effect, and a tree trunk can hold carbon for a very long time.

And another 51 bits of info for whether the picture of the puppy on the back of the card is right-side-up or upside-down! (Or, absent puppies, any other asymmetrical pattern or image that you chose for the message deck).

Because your recipient has to be able to determine the reference orientation of the deck, you get 51 bits of extra information from puppy orientation, and another 50 bits of extra information from face-up/face-down orientation.

To place the deck in correct orientation, in preparation for decoding, ensure that the top and bottom card are face up, and that the puppy on the back of the top card isn't upside-down.

An extra 101 bits of information is significant!

I guess that not having other warm objects pointing at the water, will not warm the water (example: a wall radiates infrared so it heats the water if the wall has "sight" over the water).

Insulating the walls of the container with the water servers the same purpose - not have the water get heat from the surroundings.
