I like the Primeagen's examples for the simple stuff. On stream he fires up an editor and copilot then writes the function signature for quick sort. Then copilot gets it wrong. It creates a sort function, but one worse than quick sort but not as bad as bubble sort.

These LLMs will get better. But today they are just summarizing. They screw up fairly simple tasks in fairly obvious ways right now. We don't know if they will do better tomorrow or in 20 years. I would wager it will be just a few years, but we have code that needs to be written today.

LLMs are great for students because they are often motivated and lacking broad experience, and a summarizer will such person very far.
It's quite hard, it would be a mixture or references, conditions, size of all legislation.

>The complexity of options trading regulation should not be subject to the same complexity threshold as (eg) public intoxication laws

Why not? The point is to make it a bit harder to pass more complex laws, not stopping it. Your parliament has 500 seats. You need 251 votes to pass new complex law. For laws that simplify complexity you need half of the present MPs e.g. 400 are in, so you need 201 votes.

> Someone is still gonna have to convert what the business wants into instructions for the LLM

It seems like with GitHub is aiming for is a future where "what the business wants" can just be expressed in natural language the same way you might explain to a human developer what you want to build. I would agree that right now, LLMs generally don't do well with very high-level instructions, but I'm sure that will improve over time.

As for the security concerns, I think that's a fair point. However, as LLMs become more efficient, it they become easier to deploy on-prem, that mitigates one significant class of concerns. You could also reasonably make the argument that LLMs are more likely to write insecure code. I think that's true with respect to a senior dev, but I'm not so sure with junior folks.
Unless there's some major breakthrough and AIs are able to gain judgement and reasoning capabilities, I don't think they'll be taking junior jobs any time soon.

I don't use Copilot in particular but in the software space, everything is constantly changing, and the models are trained infrequently so they are never familiar with the things I ask about. Reality is outrunning the models for now but that may change.

Agreed, and I think this bill probably would help against that, although indirectly by stifling research outside of big corps. You might be winning me over somewhat - stifling research outside of big corps does feel like a pretty low price to pay against the death/destruction of all of humanity...

I guess I need to decide how high I feel the risk is of that, and that I'm less sure of. Appreciate the discussion btw!

> Previously it probably took several cases of mortar shells to inflict one casualty. Now that can be done with a couple of drones. Much lighter.

Do you think it's 1, 2, or 3 drones to get 1 kill?

Jamming and dying batteries make the odds much worse than that.

Look up how many drones have been expended in Ukraine. Then look up how many casualties there have been. Finally, understand that not all casualties ate caused by drones, and do the math.

Exactly, if you have a very old Gradle project, it's best to use the wrapper to keep running with the version of Gradle it was written for, and make sure to use a compatible JDK to compile with (older Gradle versions won't work on new Java versions, which goes against most Java code which will almost certainly run forever even if written for Java 1.1).
Yeah, that's a non sequitur.
You are right. I definitely do need help. Just not the kind that you are implying.
I understand your position, but I respectfully disagree. Selecting leadership based on immutable characteristics like race, gender or sexuality rather than merit and contributions is misguided and prejudiced, even if motivated by a desire for representation.

The current leaders' "lives & experiences" very much inform their work - their experience contributing to and building the project. What's irrelevant and presumptuous is assuming their race, gender, etc. make them unfit or that "people with similar experiences" (i.e. the same demographics) would necessarily lead better. The slander is in attacking and attempting to de-legitimize the board not based on their actions or competence, but on their identities. That's textbook ad hominem.

Inclusion means welcoming people of all backgrounds, not enforcing demographic quotas or judging people's fitness based on identity rather than ability. If you have substantive concerns about board decisions or project direction, by all means raise them. But leave identity politics out of it and focus on the issues. Presuming leaders can't serve the community well because of innate traits is its own form of prejudice.

The only real criticism of concern was the military contracts and a conflict of interest, which I believe is valid and needs discussion, the rest just seems like personal attacks meant to further some unrelated agenda.
Pretty much. I'm insured in the public system of my relatively wealthy EU country but I still pay for a lot of stuff out of my own pocket. Not life threating stuff, that would usually be free, but still, things I need to make my conditions more bearable or for prevention, or physiotherapy for back pain, or getting appointments sooner than 3 months for a checkup.

With the ever increasing ageing population, and stagnating economy, the pressure on the healthcare system balloons while the money pot is finite, so the existing resources keep getting split more and more aggressively creating a system of winners and losers. It's inevitable when the resources are finite but the demand virtually infinite.
Don't laugh. I am really, really excited about Bash and vanilla PHP.

Fine Tuning LLM for Enterprise: Practical Guidelines and Recommendations
You seem to have a misunderstanding of how US law works. Not all laws have legislatively-defined consequences for violating them. For example, consider laws against terrorism: even though terrorism is illegal, sanctioning individuals for terrorism can be done either legislatively or executively and occurs on a case-by-case basis.

Similarly here to ByteDance, which has violated American laws for years and is now experiencing the consequences of its non-compliance.

So actually, my claim is true; your understanding of US law is what is lacking here.

My experience is incomplete I will admit and possibly outdated besides, however I speak German, regularly consume a fair about of German news, and I spent a few months living in Munich. The attitude I've observed, especially among older Germans, is that buying with credit is a moral shortcoming while paying with cash is virtuous. High interest rates are considered good because they reward savers, conversely people complain about low interest rates as an injustice.

Also, Germany has the 3rd largest economy in the world, so not as large as the US or China, but I wouldn't exactly call them "small" economically.

It's entirely because of human nature - you want people to get invested in it, which having them bid any amount does.

It's the same reason an auction can go above the price/value of the thing, because you get invested in your $x bid, so $x+5 doesn't seem like paying $x+5, but instead "only $5 more to preserve your win" type of thing.

See penny auction scams - https://utahjustice.com/penny-auction-scams - for an extreme example.
Our government just changed capital gains inclusions affecting assets purchased in the past on the basis of financial projections which certainly included tax expectations.

The C++ standard library has a number of generic algorithms that are very efficient, like decades of careful revision from the C++ community efficient. With the help of ChatGPT Andrei makes major improvements to a few of them. At least right now these machines have a truly impressive ability to summarize large amounts of data but not creativity or judgement. He digs into how he did it, and what he thinks will happen.

He isn't fearmongering he is just one coder producing results. He does lay out some concerns, but at least for the moment the industry needs junior devs.
I understand that it is not a vote but it is basically signing an online petition.

Here is the expected behavior:
The prospective candidate asks someone to support them and sends them the link.
The supporter is supposed to scroll the list, find the candidate and click to support them.

This is failing because the first element that the supporter sees is the register link.

I do think that the redesigned page looks better but in my view endorsing someone or signing a petition is not a task that someone should take lightly.

It's the same reason why there has to be an oversupply of water for everyone to have water. We don't have any way to teleport items to exactly where they need to be when they're needed. Our logistics isn't infinite, and neither is our knowledge of where everything is. With so many humans who need clothes (that is every single one of us), it's not that surprising for 50 tons of clothes to end up in a wrong place, wrong time kind of situation.

Clothes aren't totally fungible, after all. I think burning food is much worse. I know the big burning pile look bad there... but how big is it really? The article says between 11k - 59k tons. I'll go with the high end and assume 50k metric tonnes. Assuming 150 grams per item (weight of a tshirt) that's 6666 items per tonne, which is about 333 million items in the pile. In the grand scheme of things, it's not that much. I think 5% oversupply is probably a floor for clothes. Any less than that and we're looking at shortages at retail. Say 5 billion humans each own 50 kilograms of clothing, which is ridiculously low balling it, that's 250 billion tons. And I'm not even talking about our shoe supply here! It must take tens of millions of tonnes of production each year to sustain that, and it's not like it gets instantly teleported to the consumer.

If whoever owned that pile could get even 50 cents per piece for them, they probably would rather have taken the money. I think burning is probably wrong though, better it be dumped in pits and left there as is in case one day an economical way to use the material emerges in the future. I get the feeling to reduce waste, I really do, but I don't like your idea of regulation on this. It'll only deprive the poorer among us of access. I'm willing to accept some waste so that people on a tight budget can dress themselves with style and feel good.

Restructuring scientific software startup into a non-profit?
Long story short, I founded a startup with a friend of mine two years ago to build software to assist pharmaceutical scientists with certain tasks. We're having a very hard time monetizing our software to a venture-backable scale, but the software certainly has utility for our end users. We recently discussed the possibility of restructuring our startup into a non-profit with the intent to fundraise enough to continue to maintain the tool while we seek full-time employment elsewhere.

Has anyone else similarly restructured their startup into a non-profit? I know I'm downplaying the legal and governance hoops we'll have to jump through for this, but I'm curious to hear your stories or advice.

That's why I said it might be a good thing. My main point was that it's just as easy on the web for standard scrolling. But even if you don't want standard scroll behavior, it's still easier. There's nothing easier to do on qt than on web. Compare a qtgraphicsview or qt3dcanvas to a webgl canvas and again, it's fighting against the framework versus stuff just working. Now sure qt is much better for tons of other stuff, but I just found it weird that the comment I was replying to mentioned wasting time on customizing stuff as being the downside of web apps, as if it's not a much more difficult task to do in qt.
The context in which a word is used is typically more informative than the meaning in the dictionary. For example, "set" has an unreasonably large number of definitions [0] but I can't remember the last time its usage in a sentence was confusing.

It's also why "cromulent" from The Simpsons had a clear meaning during the episode that coined the word even though it did not exist prior to the episode airing.

My biggest gripe with traefik is how inflexible the whole middleware concept is.

One would think that checking against an IPAllowList and if not on the list requiring auth (basic or ForwardAuth) would be trivial. There is middleware for IPAllowList there is one for authentication, but the only way you could combine those is to deny requests not on the allowlist and then ask all on the list for authentication.

I tried switching to an ortholinear keyboard and found it ergonomically unbearable, even after tweaking the layout. My fingers DO NOT move in straight lines when I extend them! They are significantly farther apart when extended than they are contracted.

I was appalled when I found out most people who think ortholinear keyboards are an improvement have been typing Z with their little fingers instead of their ring fingers, X with their ring fingers instead of their middle fingers, etc. Sure, ortholinear is an improvement on that disaster of a hand position! But that's a terrible way to type, so not a good thing to compare to!

I'm baffled that people have enjoyed the experience. To me it felt like a torture device.

I recently left town for 1 month and got the post office to hold my mail. It was all delivered in bulk when I came back. Out of the huge bundle of 100 mail pieces, there was only 1 piece of mail that was not trash - a renewed car registration.

So for me, on average, 99% of mail goes right from USPS to the trash - in fact, I would probably pay a few dollars a month for a service which would automatically trash that 99% of mail for me.

That has me asking - what is the point of USPS these days? Is it just packages?
