I think your definition of observability sits on top of the other two (Control & Cognitive definitions) and ultimately is more of a description of an approach to observability rather than a redefinition of it.

Observability is hard and I agree with the approach you've laid out, especially on the involvement of leadership insight. It's crucial and it has been omitted or ignored while working on this for a decade. The tooling improves but the same organisational problems persist. And there's an over reliance on hyper-competent people to get this working well than on an agreed set of practices that help offset the average competency that exists in most places. Don't get me wrong we need competent people but I find that when they leave so do the good practices.

Redefining it is not going to do much since these are organisational, cultural problems which all happen to be the issues that hobbled DevOps and the SRE movements and we all know how those movements turned out - they never matured into any of the promises they made.
This is the "Just don't write bugs" that we laugh at for C and C++.
No. The workers said "if we don't upgrade the server, X will happen", then X happened, and the boss was upset with the workers (according to the story). Doesn't matter how smart or clueless the workers may be, if you're angry at workers over things they warned you would happen then you're the asshole. If the boss wants to fire the workers in a professional manner, so be it, but that's not what happened.

Not really.

Overproduction incentivizes consolidation, but it is difficult for legitimate businesses at scale to enter the Marijuana industry due to Federal regulations around banking and the drug trade.

This leaves organized crime as the only player with the capital needed to execute a consolidation driven business model.

For textbooks? No. And nowadays a lot of them also expire after a year since by then the student likely no longer needs it.

Some bosses think if it is possible to do something, that they can hire anyone who is competent and yell at them to get it done. They are not sapient enough to calculate the labor cost vs. parts savings.
I guess I'd be interested to see how this performs against the same benchmark Devin was using. It's hard to deny that this isn't impressive. But I think there's two interesting parts to it.

Claude 3 Opus already scored around 85-86% on these benchmarks, without an "AutoDev" style agentic approach.

And all the same problems with HumanEval remain, the limitations in terms of what style of problems are chosen, and real world relevance.

I hate writing these styles of comments because I'm acutely aware that a part of me is just worried. Worried about the speed of progress and worried about a changing landscape.

But I still wonder how much of this stuff is going to be transferrable to a real life software context.

I think we're in agreement here. I wasn't trying to say that corporate leadership is bound to a specific interpretation of what "best interests" means.

That was actually my point in the GP comment, though I may not have phrased it clearly enough. The article and quotes linked earlier are just calling out that there's a debate as to how "best interests" is interpreted. Some may see that and consider short term profits, others may use it to justify focusing on long term profits and company health.

The debate is there for sure and the law is vague enough to allow many interpretations, but all interpretations still have to be based on the idea that leadership is doing what they believe is in the shareholders' best interests in one way or another.

Dinosaurs were slow, lumbering beasts.

Dinsoaurs were cold-blooded.

Large dinosaurs, like Brontosaurus (huh!), could not have lived outside of water and spent all of their lives at least partially submerged.

Dinosaurs were stupid because their brains were so small.

Dinosaurs were an evolutionary dead-end.
Last time I used AMD GPUs for GPGPU all it took was running hashcat to make the desktop rendering unstable. I'm sure leaving it run overnight would've gotten me a system crash.
OCaml optimizations are certainly better than Go compiler that hardly does inlining and only recently got some PGO support, and those that care about using LLVM or GCC backends have to compromise on fronteds that still don't do generics.

Go support on Windows is also not great, plugin package doesn't work, filesystem support assumes POSIX semantics, cgo requires installing mingw.
The financial side is not just about energy output alone but includes other constraints and opportunities. A developer may get access to cheaper land and untapped wind resource or grid connection opportunities. A single project like that could make a lot of money. And critically it could be packaged into an opportunity that could be sold to banks and investors. Opening up new opportunities could easily justify a few tens of million in delivery costs.

What I really wonder is if these new Snapdragon SoCs will be closer to what we're used to with PC hardware today. e.g.: Will we get SystemReady and the ability to disable Secure Boot?

There doesn't seem to be any information regarding that, so I guess probably not. But after a lot of false starts, it does seem like competitive alternatives to x86 computers that are also more "open" PC platforms are probably happening in the imminent future. This would be nice.

I suspect that what isn't imminent is seeing stuff like this show up in desktop parts, but if it does, here's to hoping for modular main boards with DIMM slots.

I listened to a podcast (Darknet Diaries) that went into great detail about a money counterfeiting operation, including how they had to source the paper from a specific place, and how to pick up the shipment without being detected or making it harder to trace back to you.

Things like this are generally covered under the 1st amendment. There's no reason for a chatbot to censor it in the first place. There are books in the library about how to make bombs and such. Why are we moving backwards towards less freedom?
It's shitty for the same reasons why AI will be bad at it. It involves talking to people, and trying to resolve ambiguous requirements.

That answer really clarifies the thread for me. Thanks.

Now I read it as some people treating Pornhub as obviously similar to the gambling sites and others obviously different, basing their different viewpoints on the different foundations, and not stating those foundations because they're obvious.

FWIW I can see how login-required porn sites are similar to gambling sites. I'm open on whether mostly-without-login sites are.
Good take! I think one specific development we might see would be an end of the SaaS micro tool era. Right now, most companies I advise have an absolute _jungle_ of different tools and a bunch of interns manually bridging the gap between them. If software development becomes a lot cheaper, wouldn't companies be more likely to just roll their own versions of what they need, to meet their needs exactly and have everything fit together?

Sounds like the job of a programmer wouldn't go away very near term in such a scenario. It might well become far less glamorous, less "technical", and not as well paid though. Comparable to an accountant maybe.

As someone who started their career right after the dotcom bubble burst, various people asked me "Why are you doing this? There's no money in software anymore". Turns out there sure was. Back then I didn't know that, and I didn't care. I didn't get into it for the money, I got into it because I had a passion for it. Maybe it'll become more like back then again. Doesn't seem so bad to me.
The idea with these isn't that you can trick chat gpt into giving you bad descriptions of how to do crimes, but that when someone decides to wire it up to something with real world impact, you'll be able to push it towards something you want.

For example, we are told that customer support is about to be fully automated soon. These attacks could be used to eg get refunds for bogus reasons. There is already one real life example I know of that didn't even need tricks,

Although there were larger raptors, velociraptor was about the size of a turkey--which is indeed one of its closest modern relatives. It got super-sized for Jurassic Park. And I know dinosaur in the general public's eyes conjures up T-Rex and Brontosaurus. But scientists were well aware that the majority of dinosaurs were a lot smaller.

But I don't disagree in general that there were a lot of factors that set the orthodoxy in place. Including that there were large (and flying) reptiles.

I'm not sure why these AI bots use dumb filters of user input, instead of running the output through another LLM to make sure it has nothing forbidden in it.

When I see how these chat bots operate it seeem to me that their developers (or rather, their product managers) have no clue. I mean the answer has "conterfeit currency" in it, written in caps. You have to be incredibly dumb if your system does not handle this 1.5 years in.

The LLM itself is great and a marvel of engineering, but the harness around it looks to be written by offensively stupid people. Like having Deep Blue chess engine and then throwing some regexes over its outputs to improve the play style a bit.

Yeah, I do not buy the idea that Photography replaced painting. Especially since capturing abstract forms, and less realistic interpretations is still something hard to accomplish in photos.

It did absolutely replace the need to commission someone to draw you, I guess. But that is a small subsection of what painting is and was.
Hey, I am fine. Thanks for checking in. I really do appreciate it.

My primary issue is that thirty years ago jobs that you could take, such as my wife’s family did, such as minimum wage jobs could lead to you having a house and living with dignity. The majority of jobs created today do not seem to offer that for the reasons I stated above.

I wish there were reasons to be optimistic here but we have to be realistic. I believe the numbers they are telling us are accurate. I also believe the numbers would be historically good, but the reality does not feel like it.
Now people will realise the value of hybrid cloud
I'm really tired of this constant fear around most topics with clearly suggestive hints. Ramping up production does not mean there is a plan with a date attached next to it laid out in the wild for everyone to see. This is starting to feel like a self-fulfilling prophecy, where some misstep will escalate it all, because everyone was convinced its perfectly reasonable to join in without considering any other options on the table. If you think about it, all sides here have no problem sending the youth to die for their set of delusions. Now consider the threat of mass destruction and it really makes you scratch your head what went wrong with politics overall. We are literally repeating history over and over again by taking the wrong turns when the signs present themselves.

The initial results are still looking impressive though. There is finally good non-Apple ARM.

Time to move the goal posts and see if they can actually get Windows or Linux working as well as MacOS on ARM.
Reflexively, that doesn't make sense. I cannot imagine perceiving ionic CSF flow with my eyes.

But thinking about it more, maybe there is something to it? I'm wholly unqualified to speculate here, but I know computers and computers are exactly the same as everything in the real world, so let's go! ...

- When restful and with my eyes closed, I definitely "see" waves move across my field of vision. My eyes see "black" (or dark gray) with slightly lighter edges that move and act like a wavefront in a fluid. There's distinct flow, and (minor) swirling and interference. I've seen these since I was very young, and I have no idea if it's a common thing or if it has a name. It must. I've mentioned it to a very small number of other non-experts but no one has ever recognized it. (I also sometimes see tiny colored tiles that light up in moving masses -- again rarely mentioned but never recognized, probably an unrelated phenomenon...)

- I do not think these are simply phosphenes, because there is no external proximate stimuli. Though I suppose we all live in environments saturated with EMF, most of the time, and a proper test would require being in a very remote area (and that's probably not enough). Though if I can "see" the presence of EMF, I'm totally making some phone calls to Charles Xavier's people.

- I've theorized that this was fluid in my eye (eyelid is too thin) moving around and refracting what little light is getting through in a dark room. But it also happens when I am completely still (though nothing in the body is ever completely still), and it also happens in complete darkness.

- The "shape" of the waves does not resemble anything that could be related to blood vessels in the eyelid. And again, complete darkness.

- So, is it possible that it's actually this ionic flow of CSF through the vision-sensing part of the brain? Not actually light coming through my eyeballs at all, but fluidlike electrical variations in the parts of the brain itself which are sensitive to the electrical signals normally coming from the optic nerves?

I have no idea. But it's an fun new angle to consider in the idle moments while I watch the waves flow before I fall asleep.

(That said, please feel free to correct my wild speculation if there's an obvious explanation that has not intersected my completely-unrelated fields of study! :)
Crafting the story as "Arabs v. Jews" or "Muslims v. Jews" is a propaganda narrative. It's Palestinians vs far-right Israelis. There are people of all faiths and ethnicities on both sides.

What the Arabs (not the Palestinians) did wrong, which hurt the Palestinian cause immensely was to expel the Mizrahim after the Nakba. Might have felt like pay back at the time, but it cemented the current geopolitical situation.

But in any case the way forward is deradicalize both peoples and guarantee protections for both.
> Honestly it's pretty trivial.

Literally no artist anywhere has ever received an actual payment from an actual customer with this method (I'm not counting the artist themselves making a test payment).

No, if Gumroad bans you, you can't just set up your own crypto smart contracts and make money that way. This is some academic crypto anarchist fantasy.

> Raw GPS is universally unusable, requiring up to half an hour of waving your phone under clear sky,

Sigh. The increasing amount of unsubstantiated FUD finding its way on to HN recently is depressing.

Two glaringly obvious points to make at your nonsense:

1. What you describe is ancient history. It applied to old previous-generation devices with single-frequency chipsets (L1 GPS signals). However, effectively 100% of devices released within the last 3–5 years (and more in the case of certain manufacturers !) (a) have L1,L2,L5 GPS chipsets and (b) have multi-frequency GPS chipsets whch work not only with the "original" GPS but also Galileo, QZSS and others.

2. Even if we accept your argument, which we should not, then the rapid adoption of Apple's FindMy network (and the equivalent for Google) surely cannot have escaped your attention ? These serve to increase accuracy.

The reality is there is fast becoming no need for a third-party service such as the one Mozilla provided, because there is now first-class support for sufficiently robust high-accuracy positioning.
The benefit is in opening up new sites that were previously not viable at all.
Yes, that is why violent deaths are so low in the US per capita, the knowledge that you might lose your life in the commision of a crime.

It's really depressing to see that big tech is essentially universally pushing Snake Oil. AI is a lie. LLMs are a legit tech that have some purpose, but LLMs will never evolve into anything remotely resembling the actual definition of AI.

They are flowery language generators and they will never be able to reason, understand, debate and criticize. They know nothing and therefore embody nothing. No matter how much computer power you waste on them the end result will always be bullshit. Nothing more. Nothing less.

To Big Tech I say: Prove me wrong.
Not sure why you're being downvoted, because your comment succinctly highlights the issues and is correct.
Exactly these.
Aka logic programming.
Legal? Perhaps.

Irresponsible though.

I'm coming at it with the assumption that 1) making this so readily available would increase the number of people engaging in criminal activity and 2) that police resources are limited and would be overwhelmed by a flood of, in this example, counterfeit bills being produced.

I wonder if AI starts assisting the police will that give the police greater reach and more resources to essentially negate it?
> In either method there will exist prices which are negative to the market but positive to the producer.

I'm talking about running air conditioners extra hard during low market prices (which includes free and/or negative priced periods of energy), and then storing that cooling power in single-digit cubic meters of water.

Negative market prices of electricity absolutely applies to this case.

Rosetta 2 was/is "impressive" because Apple was smart enough to bake some x86 functionalities into their ARM designs to aid the transition. On the other hand Qualcomm and other OEMs don't have in their interests to offer such functionalities so Microsoft is forced to 100% emulate x86
That's doesn't happen in a single thread, but e.g. asynchronous multithreaded code can spit values in arbitrary order, and depending on what you do you can end up with a different result (floating point is just an example). Generally, you can't guarantee 100% reproducibility for uncooperative code because there's too much hardware state that can't be isolated even in a VM. Sure, 99% software doesn't depend on it or do cursed stuff like microarchitecture probing during building, and you won't care until you try to package some automated tests for a game physics engine or something like that. What can happen, inevitably happens.

We don't need to be looking for such contrived examples actually, nixpkgs track the packages that fail to reproduce for much more trivial reasons. There aren't many of them, but they exist:

https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aiss...
Something close to that.
The Go community is quite deep into it being the first into fast compilers, co-routines, slices, static compilation, and rich standard libraries.

The commenter said more than that.

"In general, Go tooling makes up for a lot of the intrinsic issues with the language, and even shines as best in class in some cases (like coverage, and perhaps tracing too). All out of the box, and improving with every release."

Best in class?!?
> You need competing offers, then it doesn't matter if they think you are greedy

For sure. I gave the example of asking for a raise, because of the way parent comment was phrased: “If a company really likes you”. When you have competing offers, it's not a matter of liking.

Having a competing offer doesn't make your pay independent of where you live though. If enough companies make your pay a function of cost of living, you will have a tough time reaching Bay Area salaries.

Can't agree more. Having seen spectacular failures from those who are supposed to be business-minded, I've come to appreciate that humans have their biases.
Nope.

You still need aircon at 7pm after the sun begins to set and while solar is losing power.

> Why did this man steal your car? > Because he's poor.

That's a very simplistic line of reasoning. People who aren't as well off as you aren't automatons without agency, driven by their base desires. This is proven by the people without cushy IT jobs you meet every day who don't choose to rob you every chance they get.
