Is this partly about norms I'm different countries?

If I were renting a holiday cottage in the UK (airbnb or otherwise), I'd expect to do the washing up and take our rubbish, and possibly strip the beds. I wouldn't expect to clean ovens or put laundry on.

Staying in Finland recently we had to make our beds at the start - no idea if that is normal there but wouldn't expect that in the UK unless you were at a youth hostel.

I assuming the cleaning feel covers mopping, hoovering, cleaning bathrooms, making up beds with fresh laundry. Some places do feel like they overcharge nonetheless for the number of hours required and I presume that it is more an overhead person stay charged to discourage short stays.
What is Google's Project Nimbus and why is it controversial?
I believe the one truly unique thing humans can do is imitate complex actions with high fidelity. When we evolved this ability it lead to an explosion of behavioral complexity simply because imitated behavior satisfies all the criteria for evolution (s/o Dawkins).

We’re not unique in our ability to imitate, but we are unique (for now) in our ability to imitate well enough that imitated behaviors are stable enough to evolve.
You’re missing that those people didn’t know what would happen and they had the hope of a better life at the end. Returning was always an option.

It doesn’t need to be rational. Humans are emotional beings and greatly affected about what they believe to be true.

Stranded on another planet is a guaranteed death sentence and people know that. They have no hope of survival to cling to.

You really can’t equate the two.

A better example would be a platoon of soldiers staying behind to delay the enemy so everyone else escape. They have deliberately made the decision to die for a cause.
If AI can't make AI improvements that humans can, then it shouldn't be considered a very capable coder.
If passengers were touching the ceiling, it would have required either a very powerful downdraft or control surface inputs leading to greater-than gravity acceleration downwards. Very interested to hear the investigation into this.
I really used to like Boeing a lot. I want to keep liking them. There's just so much silliness and weirdness and so many compounding poor decisions adding up over there that it's frustrating to watch things like this happen and start to interconnect.

I understand the reasoning (from an airline and from a manufacturer perspective) for not including a modern EICAS in the 737, but it seems like everyone was so resistant to spending any money that they boxed themselves into a corner where there's now no obvious way to issue a stopgap software fix for the 737 MAX. Without at least automating alerting around the conditions that could lead to failure, we're now depending on pilots' memory and not being engaged in other ongoing things. It's become a problem which could now unintentionally compound other problems. I've heard the argument from Southwest, at least, that the true reasoning behind this is concern about the mental tax of having to switch between two different cockpit configurations and the potential for pilot error in those cases. It rings a little hollow in the context of Southwest trying to avoid "expensive simulator training" at the same time, however.

I am not going to profess to be enough of an expert in the economics of airliner design to say that there was a better option than continuing to re-engine the 737, but it really, really feels like Boeing is overdue for a clean sheet replacement for the 737 and have pushed things way too far.
The "extremely complex" problem solving in this study, for chimps, was putting a ball in a draw, and then closing it. Would you have assumed that training a chimp to do so would be impossible before this study? Or that it would be impossible for other chimps to ape him, so to speak? In other words, is this study actually shifting your assumptions in any way? Or is it just the arguably grandstanding language being used that may be swaying you?

So for instance I think it's pretty well known that monkeys in Bali have taught themselves how to steal from tourists and then exchange the goods for treats. [1] And that was entirely self-learned/taught. That, to me, seems somewhat more impressive than putting a ball in a drawer, yet didn't really leave me with any awe beyond what one would normally have when interacting with monkeys. And such things leaves me decidedly unimpressed with chimps and a drawer, and even more cynical about the language used to describe it.

Reasons for the Non-Adoption of GraphQL, and where it's good
Yeah, now that you mention it I haven't seen it around the last few years. I remember it was fairly commonly on the store shelf years ago. Was fine but was expensive compared to beef and wasn't too different in many cases so I very rarely bought it.

Sorry for the misunderstanding, we indeed "meant something more like a viewer for Adobe's PDF format rather than Adobe's viewer for PDFs.". We will make sure to change the wording. Thank you!
The printing press replaced the need for scribes but introduced the need for typesetters.

Talented scribes did cool things with illustrations and flourishes that were lost in the transition, but ultimately spent quite a lot of their time stroking the letter "e" or "i" or whatever.

Meanwhile, typesetters found themselves in a whole new creative domain which was a different one than the scribes had been working in while also being informed by it and related to it. With their different workflow and this different domain, they were able to innovate in many ways unique to typesetting but also in ways that would circulate back to calligraphers and other inheritors of the hand-crafted letterwork tradition.

I'm personally not sold that we're soon to see LLM-based code generators replace software engineers anyway, but things are not so black and white as you suggest even were that to happen.
And I know so many people who think you could automate them from commit messages. Hell, no!

We indeed price starting at $0.005 per document, but have slightly updated the pricing following the good input we received yesterday from the community - hence the slight discrepancy in comments.
the files are in the computer!?

so people are validating their own feelings on blockchain based on an incoherent ignorant executive trying to shoehorn blockchain into something to stay relevant? fascinating

Epic basically confirming details of what they had hinted at last year:
"We are introducing a new seat-based Unreal Subscription when we release Unreal Engine 5.4. This new pricing of $1,850 per seat will apply to companies generating over $1 million USD in annual gross revenue who are not creating games."

This makes the pricing model for non-game users (e.g., film makers, VFX studios and architecture firms) similar to that for game creators, basically the software remains free for indie makers until $1 million USD in gross annual revenue.
If an AI was truly capable of replacing engineers en mass, the upside would hugely outweigh the downside.

Engineering muscle will be limited by chips instead of brains. Injecting millions of AI “engineers” into any economy would be a massive boon.

Many of us would be out of work, but if we can redistribute the AI-generated surplus, this will still be a net-win for us all.

I think the top engineers will still be able to find a niche regardless - we get paid to solve problems, and there will always be human problems.
This is a great application and far better than any of the web based stuff in the other comments. You should be given a product award for the Add Attachment Point alone, something no one else has achieved with such ease.
Or maybe the best engineers will be able to shine since they have the best ai management ability with the coding knowledge.

Let’s give all the shovelers spoons and live in the past where we can ignore the benefits technology can bring because we’re so afraid of what it means about the way we run society.

> I think this space has a big inherent trust deficit and Kickstarter can never solve it because Kickstarter will always have strong local incentives to not kick sketchy founders off of the platform

I understand where you're coming from; I believe the premise is that because Kickstarter receive their fee whether projects deliver or not, that it's profitable to not remove any projects. That's of course true in the short term.

But the cumulative effect of that myopia is that the projects seeking funding on the platform has plateaued for years. The resulting lack of trust in the system has culminated in fewer projects using Kickstarter, because fewer users trust Kickstarter to adequately police projects. Robust project policing would lead to greater trust, a greater number of projects reaching funding goals, and ultimately more fees for the company. It's emphatically in their interest to remove unsavory projects, regardless of the immediate fee loss. The increase in trust is a multiplier that'll far exceed any immediate loss.
Langfuse (YC W23) Open sourced their roadmap for LLMops
I mean... it hasn't been their model from the start; the Apple II was wildly successful in part because it was so open, and Macs never had a walled garden (though the situation there does seem to have gotten somewhat worse over time).
I thought the point is you don't need escapes?

If you still need to implement escape mechanism, might as well do CSV/TSV.
A scripting language is an explicit non-goal for first-party support, but there have been tools for using the ECS entirely without Rust types which can be exposed via FFI or embedded languages like Lua.

Just search "_by_id" in the bevy_ecs docs, and you'll find all of the associated APIs for access. There are then (unsafe) APIs for creating the internal mappings necessary to use them. These are normally called via the monomorphized generics automatically, but need to be manually called since we don't have compile time knowledge of the data being stored and accessed.
Interesting. I hadn't thought anyone would really fall for it, but clearly some people do. :(
All of your concerns are actually solvable through software … if Apple were willing to work on it. But doing that doesn’t bring a lot of revenue so they keep pushing the narrative how the entire category of applications is malicious or risky.
The consistent well integrated experience is mainly from apple controlling the entire technology stack, rather than the App Store being closed. People buy macs for the same reason but they aren’t walled gardens.
Phones will probably look the same in 10 years. Not the exact same, but it'll still have a touchscreen and fit in your pocket.
Even with zero controls, and even if one or more of the various computers decided spontaneously to restart, I would expect the plane to continue flying the way it did before the incident rather than going into an (apparently) uncommanded descent? I mean, we had that with the 737 MAX, so I wouldn't rule it out, but it sounds suspiciously like the pilot messed up and is trying to blame the airplane. However I'm no specialist, so it's probably best to wait until further details emerge...
Trying to show us something in this fork?

Ideally, a command processor would be composed of an LR-parsed language that could easily be represented as a grammar for yacc. Neither Korn/pdksh nor CMD.EXE can meet such a requirement.

DOS batch compatibility could easily be met with a secondary command shell.

NT's primary command shell could have reworked AWK's grammar into an interactive shell.

It's a shame that the NT command shell did not recieve the attention that it deserved. DCL would have been preferable (if you like FORTRAN).
why would you think that short term weather forecasts are somehow affected by climate change?
This is typically called a PoC or MVP - shouldn't this also be scheduled and forecasted?
I think that happens typically when the planning and the execution are very divorced (someone good at/selling using the techniques of planning). I'd say a good operational planer doesn't overplan.
This is correct but somewhat unfair given that it applies to any technological project, since the purpose of technological project is to improve efficiency in some workflow, and improved efficiency means less demand for worker time.

I don't know which part of technology you work in but I can probably spin it as making possible for some manager to reduce staff.
As an example,

Using 'Tile' trackers, ios pops a messages up every so often saying 'Tile' has been accessing the Location API from IOS.

But Apple introduced a competing product, 'AirTags', and this doesn't have the same (annoying) regular popup.

Does this mean that Apple's Product will no longer be allowed to use a special Location API bypassing the security/barriers their competitors have?

I understand the need for security, but Apple has no incentive to remove friction from the process when it negatively impacts their competitors and doesn't impact them at all.
That is a great question which is answered by the Digital Markets Act.

Well there is one. The bright line would be the services that the DMA applies to or doesn't. That is a bright line.

>Newton's First Law says that an object in motion stays in motion.

How is this relevant? There is turbulence and gravity, this isn't "empty" space.

> Losing instruments for a second doesn't cause a change in momentum

No, but modern jets need computer-aided control of flight control surfaces to keep the aircraft stable.

If the account is accurate sounds like quite literally everything had a blip for a second, which would have prevented computer-intervention when encountering severe turbulence, or worse, flight control surfaces became "stuck."
How many coders do you know that can make AI improvements? That ability is already reserved for the top humans. AI doesn’t even need to reach this bar to be better than the average coder.
Show HN: AI Assist – Not another chatbot, SDKs to build AI-powered assistance
Hey everyone!

We just shipped AI Assist — SDKs to build AI-powered assistance into your product. AI-Assist captures multi-modal in product context, and gives you drop-in React components and flexible SDKs that make it easy to ship personalized and contextual assistance that unblocks your users.

We built AI assist because the current state of the art for AI-powered in-product assistance is the chatbot, and there’s an opportunity to do far better. Chatbots are unhelpful because:

1. prompting is imprecise and very chaotic in the sense that small changes in prompts cause a huge change in answers

2. the user (the question-asker) is burdened with solving the problem of identifying and producing all relevant context for their question

3. questions and answers are not integrated into the app itself but instead surfaced indirectly in separate and often disruptive UIs

We discovered that you can solve 1) and 2) by automatically capturing multi-modal in-product context for the user, and 3) by providing flexible SDKs and drop-in React components that make it easy to build assistance directly into your product’s experience.

Here’s how AI-Assist works:

1. crawls and indexes your documentation and other static product context

2. retrieves relevant sources based on users’ dynamic in-app contexts (e.g. annotated screenshots, semantic HTML, runtime information, and user and company attributes).

3. uses sources as well as users’ context as grounding for a multimodal LLM to generate meaningful responses to augment in-app experiences

With AI Assist, you can easily build:

An explain anything mode — Let users point at anything in your product to get relevant help

Proactive error assistance — Surface extremely contextual guidance any time a user encounters an error

Contextual help — Surface relevant docs based on where the user is and what they’re doing.

Dopt’s platform powers self-serve product experiences for companies like Superhuman, Reforge, and Productboard. We’ve seen folks get up and running in <20 minutes.

- You can play with a live example of AI assist (including code) on our website at https://www.dopt.com/examples/ai-assistant

- Sign up for free at https://www.dopt.com/ai

- And read more about how we built it at https://blog.dopt.com/more-than-just-chatbots

We’d love your feedback if you give it a try!
It allows for security measures, that's the only justification for restricting interoperability at all. The "free of charge" for when it's allowed still stands.
>For one, this makes deploying a free app on an alternative store (that becomes popular) simply impossible?

You can monetize it with in app payments or ads such that wealthy people subsidize other users.

If the app is from a nonprofit they can get the fee waived.
Yes, people keep quoting these sections but it doesn't say what folks want it to say.

4. Gatekeeper must allow people to install applications from outside the App Store. That has no relationship at all to whether Apple is allowed to require a contractual relationship with iOS developers that stipulate payment under certain conditions -- installs, IAPs, number of developers, number of users, etc..

7. Gatekeeper can't give themselves special APIs that allow them to do things other apps can't or charge extra for those special privileged APIs. Apple can nonetheless still charge developers to access iOS. But from there Apple can't give themselves an advantage by saying that only Apple apps can access Bluetooth.
I think he's saying that you're too willing to believe the reasonable, plausible explanation that falls out of Occam's Razor, as opposed to accepting whatever embattled fringe theory of the day also fits the available evidence.
> but if we can redistribute the AI-generated surplus

History suggests that we cannot.

This is very much like saying "but if we can redistribute the wealth of all the billionaires". Like, uh huh, but that won't happen because, short of fear of murder, people winning a class war have no incentive to stop.
On the contrary, it's the absurd claim that making "if (a != b > c)" a compiler error is somehow remotely comparable to changing C++ syntax so that it's the same language as Rust is what renders the entire conversation useless and is not what anybody is talking about here.
The fact that these agents don't sleep is what will really kill human developers.

Even with my nearly 15 years of experience, I'm not sure I see companies justifying the cost of employing me soon when someone half as "capable"* as me can work relentlessly and tirelessly at churning out half-baked features.

*I doubt AI agents will be able to use bigger picture foresight and reasoning (especially reasoning as software pertains to human user experiences) to architect sane applications (as we understand them today, at least) but this likely won't matter in a vast majority of cases.
How is this any different than the industrial revolution ushering in a new age, or for that matter any technology that creates huge efficiencies in labor? The truth is that the future is still very uncertain, and while the easiest thing to do is yell "they took er jerbs" from the top of your lungs, maybe think about how to effectively move forward into the future.

There is a book called "Who Moved My Cheese?" and I wouldn't say its an amazing book, but the concept that not everything lasts forever, in relation to job security, is the takeaway.

The answer is not hating AI, it’s implementing UBI when AI produces x10 more wealth and resources for humanity. That’s a people problem, not an AI problem.

And furthermore, we’re not even remotely close to that. I guarantee this product actually sucks and is totally useless in practice. No offense, the tech is just not there yet. Saying this as someone at the cutting edge of AI and software development.
