I'm not sure if your comment applies to Threads but if it does, and why not given the short time to launch, that Threads MVP had 100 M app downloads in the first 5 months.

It's 4 orders of magnitude more than any customer of mine got in all the lifetime of any of their products. It's one order of magnitude more than what the mobile phone operator I was working for 20 years ago had after years from launch.

I guess that it means that an MVP is all we need. OK, they started with the Instagram code base but as you write, the core of the product is a pretty standard exercise. I did it a few times myself for some customers along the years, Rails and PHP.

Did you miss the graphs showing the same trend in the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the Nordic countries?
This has to go on the list of "best understatements ever", along with that famous captain's announcement when an ash cloud knocked out all four engines.
if you don't like these products and feel they are negative, then don't use them. Restrict your children's access to these platforms.

If it was only this simple. It's similar to the green bubble problem. Disallowing your kids to use these platforms leads to social isolation. All the other kids are on these platforms and a lot of the talk is about what happened on these platforms (it's similar with games like Roblox for a certain age bracket). Excluding them is also going to teenage mental illness due to exclusion.

It's only going to work if all parents would restrict access to these platforms, but that's not going to happen. A lot of parents do not see the issue or do not want to be the first mover.
Right the opposite. Try.
Irrespective of where people fall on this particular issue, I find it odd how the people who are so distrustful of government would allow things that are overtly dangerous, as long as it prevents government from...governing.

It's like we have this generation of people who believe government overreach is a) inevitably the outcome in every scenario; b) present in every situation; c) always the worst possible thing that could happen. As in, literally worse than mass sickness and death.
I'm assuming that it's on its way. The path is now clear, but I assume that the engineering is not going to be as easy as dumping the code on a Mac and getting a working iOS/Gecko, lol.
> What do I care what others do?

While a perfectly fine rule of thumb in general, I think you might find the sticking to "I don't care what other people do" as an overriding principle doesn't hold water in a substantial number of edge cases. One such case is where someone is willfully influencing others to act against their best interests, or against the best interest of society as a whole. That's when one needs to make a judgement call on a case by case basis. Is this such a case? Not sure. I just wanted to point out that "I don't care what other people do" can't be your guiding light, always.
It's not a mess because it's your first real project, it's a mess because that's what happens when software meets the real world, and moving requirements. Software engineers like to use the term 'technical debt' which is a fancy way of saying a mess :)
The criticism is that those things comes with mountains of complexity.
In my country the solution to this problem has always been to make these types of test multiple choice. It's not an ideal solution, because you can only ask questions which have clearly only one correct answer.

Using AI for the same task, I dunno. You more the responsibility of grading in essence to the end user who will have to check the grading. No doubt upper class parents will not know how to do it, and be motivated to get a higher score in this manner. So the result will be many more appeals and a bigger divide between the haves and haves-not.

I'm all in favor of using AI where it helps (programming e.g.). But seems not one of them.
monthly or annually?
Addiction is well defined in research and it certainly does not preclude things that don't cause "physical dependence" by which I assume you use to mean psychoactive drugs.

Wikipedia has a better definition right at the top than I can offer: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Addiction

The crucial point is it is characterised by neurological changes that lead to short circuited reward pathways. The idea of addiction to social media a perfectly consistent with its action and moreover, consistent with the notion that its effect can be enhanced by design.

> they're advocating for their personal parental decisions to the be decisions of the entire nation.

That sounds exactly wrong. I think they want their "personal parental" decisions to not be the decisions of the entire nation, but "personal" and private to themselves and to be free from judgement for wanting this thing.

> prevented access to education medical information ... you don't like these products and feel they are negative, then don't use them.

This is pretty important to me:

Abusive parents deny their children access to communication platforms.

I believe these problems cause problems for the child if the child is already lacking support, but they also represent a way to escape that abuse, so I feel strongly that controlling access to asking-for-help is not okay;

This should not be a personal decision good people can make for themselves in their homes for their own kids, because they should be able to understand that "bad" people are actually using laws and rules like this to hurt children.

> I don't use any of these products

I think you're using one right now: Hacker news is absolutely a communications platform.

I might have expressed myself poorly.

I "don't care" what others do in the strict sense that I don't let it influence me.

But I can tell you that me quitting socials did impact relatives and friends to quit those too, and thus I absolutely do not relate with his statement:

In Mixtral 8x7B, the 8 means that the model uses Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) layers with 8 experts. The 7B means that if you were to remove 7 of the 8 experts in each layer, then you would end up with a 7B model (which would have exactly the same architecture as Mistral 7B). Therefore, a 1x7B model has 7B params. An 8x7B model has 1 * 7B + (8-1) * sz_expert params, where sz_expert is some constant value that the MoE layers increase by when adding one expert. In the case of Mixtral 8x7B the model size is 46.3GB, so, sz_expert ≈ 5.6B.

If these assumptions port over to 8x22B, then 8x22B has, at 281GB, sz_expert ≈ 13.8B.
Mine too, but I am not a repoman.

It was about table saws, not circular saws. There’s a big difference between the two. Table saw accidents often result in losing fingers and it’s not that difficult to mess up while using one.

There’s a well known, proven, easy solution to table saw accidents called SawStop. It’s basically as obvious to use as a seat belt is if you want to be safe. The only problem is those table saws are very expensive.

Social media doesn’t have an existing and obvious solution (besides not using it).

> You may not like FB, IG, TikTok, etc.. I certainly don't care for any of these products. But these are communications platforms. Restricting the right to free speech does have negative consequences

You’re conflating these tech platforms with freedom of speech. It might be helpful to the debate to separate out the addictive algorithm and user base from people’s right to think and speak freely.
I have not seen or heard a single conservative politician come out in support of single mothers, early childhood healthcare, or even free school lunches. So yes, it appears the people in power are unable to advocate for both.
If answer is too lazy, you can tell it to elaborate. However, repairing a lazy context is sometimes slow and unreliable.

To avoid that, use backtracking and up the pressure for detailed answers. Then consider taking the least lazy of 2 or 3 samples.

A good prompt for detailed answers is Critique Of Though, an enhanced chain of thought technique. You ask for a search and a detailed response with simple sections including analysis, critique and key assumptions.

It will expend more tokens, get more ideas out, and achieve higher accuracy. It will also be less lazy and more liable to recover from laziness or mistakes.

TLDR; if GPT4 is being lazy, backtrack and request a detailed multi section critical analysis.
This infoq.com article about a pile of apparently hastily built technical debt is going to “kick off a new era of practical engineering” where everyone “rejects software purism”?

They are not selling shrink-wrapped software. “Operational” is a moving, evolving target.
There are quite a few people jailed for longer than 25 for lesser stolen amounts, typically by various three-strikes laws, multiple counts etc.
I posted this before, I'll post this again: GPT getting lazier is not an objectively bad thing. I don't copy code that it generates but ask it about more high level concepts more often, and have to instruct it not to generate imports and other boilerplate code. In most cases, this “lazy” generation saves time and tokens and is exactly what I need.
I would not compare it to cookie popup, as this is a question that you get after starting using a phone. So basically one time. For new user it looks just like regular startup sequence after unboxing fresh device.

Personally I never shat on php because of simplicity but because of lack of expressiveness, limited language constructs and bugs. Combined with the massive new crowd going into programming with it, it gave rise to immense walls of pain (I remember wordpress sociable code source 12 screens long loops visually..).

Later they started to move away from all that with PSR, typed object layer and more es6/py3 set of features.

Sure you have freedom of speech Mr. Musk. Nobody is denying you. But if you falsely accuse people of being a Nazi, that speech could have consequences.

>RIP anonymity

Maybe anonymity has had a good run and is actually at the root of the issue in many contexts. After all, people don't (generally) walk around IRL wearing ski masks so they can say crazy shit or troll people without consequence. And we also get the courtesy of knowing who the people we're talking to actually are.

And if you say, "yeah but doxxing and death threats" or "my employer might fire me", etc then maybe these are the actual problems that need to be addressed.

And, yes, I realize that's coming from someone who's IRL neither Uncle Buck or Buc Nasty, as his handle might imply. But, obviously that's where we currently are, which is the point.
Back in the day when VS Code didn't exist and even sftp was rare and the world ran on port 21 classic FTP, we had code editors with built in FTP like PHPEdit, we would literally hit Ctrl+S and save and upload the file on production in one stroke. Refresh the page in browser on the live site and there it is. Those were the insane days before terms like agile and CI/CD were even invented.
Oh yeah. I read few-shot like it means trying a few times to get an appropriate output. That’s how the author uses the word “shot” in the beginning of the article. Priming is a specific term that means giving examples in the context window. But yeah, the author seems to describe this. Still, you can go a long way with priming. I wouldn’t even think of fine-tuning before trying priming for a good while. It might still be quicker and a lot cheaper.
Meta Used Existing Architecture to Ship Threads in Only Five Months
I had my Anthropic account banned (presumably) because I was testing out the vision capabilities and took a photo of a Japanese kitchen knife and asked it to "translate the characters on the knife into English". This wasn't a Claude Pro account, but an API account, so it's extra weird because what if I had some product based off the API, and an end user asked/searched for something taboo..does my entire business get taken offline? Good thing this was just a test account with like $10 in credit on it. They haven't responded to my "account suspension appeal" which is just a google form to enter your email address, not even a box to enter any details.

Anyways, Claude 3 Opus is pretty great for coding (I think better in most cases than the GPT4-Turbo previews) but I'm a bit weary of Anthropic now.
I remember an old illustration in a French newspaper, to explain how a military B747 mounted missile interception system would work. For the B747 they reused the last clipart they had around which if you looked closely was a TWA B747. An unfortunate choice as that was shortly after the TWA Flight 800 crash, which was long rumoured to have been shot down by a rogue missile.
Django is comparable. A little harder to deploy (well we have docker now so who cares) but still incredibly productive.

I mean, with Django, literally just defining your database models in models.py and not touching anything else is enough to have a working application with a full featured admin backend with authentication already built in.

If you define your models correctly with the good constraints you are literally left with writing your HTML views and/or API endpoints, adding permissions and call it a production app.

I’ve never touched Ruby but it also sounds like we shouldn’t discard RoR in terms of productivity.

All you wrote doesn't address the elephant in the room: that social media is responsible for an epidemy of teen mental illness (which may or may not be true).

If that's true, the suggested measures: no phone before high-school, no social media before 16, phone-free schools, ... do not seem crazy.

Kids cannot drink, cannot smoke, cannot have sex with adults, cannot buy firearms, etc.

There's a shitload of things kids cannot do: is it really an attack on free speech to have kids not have phones at school and wait until 16 before they can use these mediocre piece of shit social media platforms?
I'm taking the "no build step" thing to the extreme in one of my projects.

PHP has libraries for compiling SCSS and minifying JS, and filemtime() is very fast. So if you wire them together in just the right way, you can edit any script or stylesheet under the project hierarchy and have them compiled, minified, and bundled together on the fly. Cache the bundle until you edit one of them files again, and automatically bust the cache once you do.

No need to build anything whatsoever, both on the frontend and on the backend. It's like REPL over HTTP.

I have worked in small companies and big companies, on monoliths and microservices. Good and bad. Everyone has already gone into the weeds yet again on that topic.

I'm just confused on why these types of stories keep coming up recently. I thought the barrage of Sqlite was a lot, but "monolith vs. not monolith" seems to be even more frequent.

What exactly is being discussed in these cases? Most large systems don't boil down to pure "microservices" or "monolith". Look at the diagram on that page ... big clouds that talk to little clouds, big clouds that talk to yet another in-house KV store labelled "database" (that has boxes inside of it), big clouds that talk to cylinders, that in turn talk to more cylinders.

Then you get to the description ... it's Python running Distillery (custom Django), talking to "WWW" (PHP), with data stored in TAO using UDB. Add sharded MySQL, ZippyDB and Async (just to get some serverless in there?).

All of this with a term I've never had to use once in all these decades, "Server-Driven UI (SDUI)". After reading the explanation, this seems to be returning UI as JSON to be put together on the client, as to avoid waiting for a release cycle for UI changes? This sounds a lot like HTML and CSS.

What does any of this have to do with monoliths vs. microservices (or not monoliths)? I don't even know what I'd label this system. 8+ different technologies spanning server and client, but referred to as a "monolith"? That term has lost all meaning to me.

Funny they ran into timezone issues and a lot of technical debt. Now that I can relate to.
