AI art is better than most humans, including most artists.

You can take the outputs and immediately turn them into animation. Suddenly I, as a single individual, can easily make film content without figuring out set and lighting logistics or roping in dozens of people.

This stuff is magic.

For anyone thinking of using this, at least a few of these examples are fundamentally broken. There may still be useful info here, but as-is it is dangerous to advertise this to new developers who aren't able to discern the good from the bad.

One example for OP: you should not be representing yourself as a security expert if you're recommending hashing passwords using SHA-256 in the browser [0].

We built neetoRecord (https://neeto.com/neetoRecord) which is also a Loom alternative. Full disclosure - I'm part of the team that built neetoRecord.
An error too often made.
I don't really get the value proposition, for every second you spend writing something you spend another 10 verifying that it was done properly. Speeding up the process of writing is sort of a waste because of Amdahl's law

How does copilot et al. speed up verification and review? For example, a C program is harder to verify than a Go program doing the same thing.

Suppose you use it to verify something in an enterprise context. Are you confident in the result? Personally I'm too paranoid for that and I think more people should be
lol it's true but every single tech company does it. Most DIY PC "gaming" computer hardware companies do it with their motherboard firmware/software. Microsoft does it with practically everything because their customer isn't the end user, it's the business. Apple also does it in their firmware/low end software (sometimes making laughably goofy bugs/oversights where the edge case is "you did something apple doesn't do by default").

You see it an awful lot with internet routers lol.

You can also install MPW (Macintosh Programmer's Workshop) and access a pretty decent command line environment via official Apple software.
Thanks. I put a lot of thought into it, so it’s nice to feel appreciated.
The vision pros end goal is to shrink it down into glasses form so then you're wearing an iPhone on your face ... There are so many things that then can be created and will make millions and millions want to buy smart glasses.

Meta has created such Glasses… For 2024… They are version .5… That make taking pictures much easier than getting out your phone for those who wear sunglasses. How many people wear sunglasses how many people take pictures every day with their phone?… I'd say billions
I find it interesting to think you can socially engineer a society. It's such a unfathomable complex system that most the time, I imagine we're probably only 'right' by accident. Like one of scott's prescriptions is higher taxes - sure maybe that could be good if paired with wiser government spending but realistically that may just get poured into unproductive subsidies, regulations, or healthcare and military-complexes. So maybe you just tax less and accept this will lead to wealth inequality but maybe a benevolent billionaire class will be more likely to 'fix' society more than our 'elected' representatives can.
I don’t know if this is possible to reconfigure or turn off, but I HATE copilot guessing at file paths & file names (as I write an import for example). Usually I find the file reference broken because copilot hallucinated 3 directories.

Autocomplete for files & paths worked great before copilot got involved.

You seem to be writing from a lost world when people enjoyed coding because they enjoyed learning new things with every project. I think that's sadly something only enjoyed at work by a very small minority these days.
People typically don't start a PhD with the expectation of making more money. They start it because they think research will be interesting.

Many people drop out once they realize that doing a PhD is not for them. I've seen estimates that the average dropout rates are something like 40-50%. Many of them are high achievers, who are very good at completing well-defined tasks given to them, but who don't enjoy working on more open-ended problems. Others are driven out by the intense pressure and the expectations of long working hours that are present in some labs, particularly in elite universities. And some, in countries where people doing PhD are considered students rather than junior professionals, cannot tolerate the poverty imposed on them.
My friend did the KKH from Islamabad to Kashgar (at the very least Havelian to Tashkurgan) about 15-20 years ago. He may have some digitized photos.
The aversion of unions to performance based pay always put me off. I think the fear is that management will rig performance metrics to punish union members in general and “troublemakers” in particular, but seniority systems always seem to reward the worst kind of coworkers.
This is ironic given that I've worked on many complex projects that were technically successful. Distributed systems, blockchains/p2p systems, front end, back end... I was always one of the top engineers in every company I worked. My code is closer to bug free than I've seen from anyone else.

I've built a deterministic chain-to-chain decentralized exchange from scratch. I've built a real time system that scaled horizontally to support tens of thousands of concurrent users in high-frequency scenarios. I work very well in a team.

So many narratives that exist in this industry seems to gaslight me.

"Coding is not about coding, it's about intangible attribute X."

"There are no 10x engineers"

"There is no such thing as good architecture"

"Most very senior devs don't have 20 years of experience. What they have is 1 year of experience, 20 times over."

Exhausting nonsense!
Better yet, you could download apps and transfer them to your phone manually, or download them from a webpage even - straight onto the phone. It's really sad how something so easy and straightforward was eliminated in the name of "security" lol.
Good for Musk that he’s going to get favorable treatment from Milei on Lithium access, while he simultaneously dismantles the business that makes energy and electric cars. Not sure what Lithium is going to do if Tesla is now an “AI company.”
I wouldn't feel too bad, there's orders more magnitude more money put into this con vs. the last one (NFTs)
Correct, but that was also the point; all these ‘consultants’ are senior programmers. Nothing is magically done; they use the ai to do the work they were mostly doing before with more people/themselves without ai; now they just focus more on business side. Higher pay and harder to replace (for now).

My company does the same but in a niche; our specific tooling is easier to automate (which we did/are still doing) and we notice it is getting easier with the llms getting better. A year ago we still needed a human to evaluate even the basic scope of work, now llama3 + some tooling we built can automatically get us a locally generated report.
Meta's are more like version .01, they don't even have a display of any kind.
Reviewing code is famously harder than writing it. I don’t see how it’s a gain to have to review more code than to write.
> US universities are not coveted because they're so better, they're coveted because they give privileged access to the US market and in a vicious circle the US academic employments. It's where the money and prestige are at, that's their draw.

Of course. This was my point about the demand side of supply and demand.

> And this means the US universities could also be much much cheaper and be good too. It's the incentives which are misaligned for that, not some impossibility...

I didn't say it was impossible. Indeed I was talking about the incentives. You're almost making my point for me by mentioning that people are flocking to the US for economic opportunities, while US students are not flocking to other countries for a cheaper education.

When you talk about a "fair" charge, that can be understood in a number of ways. In terms of market price, what's fair in one country may not be fair in another country, because the markets are different, the supply and demand is different. Whereas if you're talking about fairness in a kind of moral or societal sense, I think it's fair to ask whether the price of a social service ought to depend in some way on one's income, in such a way that the wealthy beneficiaries of the system pay more than the poor. That's a legitimate sociopolitical debate, nothing strange about it, I'd say. After all, certain forms of college financial aid have always depended on those factors.
Don't worry, the Geese are en route to location, resolution incoming. Stand by.
Eh eh, there's two New Jerseys here. There's Ritchie and friends, and then there's the people who did SVR2 and up, the ones that created that monstrosity called STREAMS, etc.

"It came from New Jersey" was a pejorative at Sun for "it's [crap code] from SVR4". I bet it's still a pejorative at Oracle for whoever still works on Solaris.
I am not sure what ARC means in this context?
You know, your proposals are also engineering society. It’s just a society of the 1800s and before. It sucked. It sucked for the vast majority of people. Life may still suck, but it sucked a lot worse then.

To be completely clear here. When you say, “ accept this will lead to wealth inequality but maybe a benevolent billionaire class will be more likely to 'fix' society more than our 'elected' representatives can.” You’re advocating for authoritarian oligarchy.

Fuck. That. Shit.
Fuck that in whatever they find the least desirable.

Edit: Jesus. I really the above comment. It’s not even internally consistent logic. It’s just dumb.
I assumed that param would still be reachable because foo_object is reachable. If this is not the case, is it because struct foo_object differs from the obj type? Perhaps that causes the garbage collector to fail to find the pointers.

Will the code be correct if I ensure that every value on the stack can be recognized by the garbage collector?

If not, then I suppose the way to avoid those issues is to tell the compiler the variable is used somehow. There's the volatile keyword and also lots of compiler attributes I can use. I'm finding it pretty difficult to determine which variables need to be marked this way though.

What is the proper discipline? How did you solve the problem?

I compile with strict aliasing disabled because of problems like these... Maybe I need to disable more optimizations.

Crypto (Proof of Work) has the advantage of being extremely low bandwidth, very static compute. You just stick boxes somewhere, plug them in and they mostly just work.

AI requires high bandwidth and dynamic compute. You need a whole supply chain to a data center. Repairs become expensive when you have to ship in highly trained people to fix the machines. Swapping out an OAM/UBB AIA isn't like pulling a gpu card from a PCIe slot.
Expensive in finite field arithmetic means much more expensive than addition and multiplication. Anyway, the sqrt here is not in terms of a specific operation, but the asymptotic cost of a particular algorithm (as in, algorithm X takes sqrt N steps)

The social contract of working hard and being able to own a home or start a family has been broken. This is especially true in Canada, where the government seems to be doing everything in its power to erase the middle class.
GitHub touts a 55% improvement in coding speed based on a study conducted in-house that tested the participants’ ability to paste a pre-written prompt and then check the output: https://github.blog/2022-09-07-research-quantifying-github-c...

The effectiveness of a Copilot-like tool trialed at FB showed that 8% of code contributed by participants was sourced from suggestions, but the latter study made no promise about coding velocity: https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.12050. In my own experience the time taken to review machine-generated suggestions often eats into developer time.

This is not a critique of LLMs in general — I’ve found ChatGPT really great for kicking off greenfield projects in well-known languages and frameworks.
This type of thinking allows evil people to continue to inflict irreversible damage. It also sends out the signal that terrorism works.
Nuh, I think we are too productive, actually, and we need to drop work hours to level out productivity. I mean, what are we trying to achieve? What’s the end goal? Based on what I see our end goal is to destroy our planet and go extinct.

Why should an author have the right to prevent adaptations?

If Tolkien had been alive he probably would have put an end to Jackson's efforts, too.
I would assume this is an easy update (possibly even doable by an LLM).

I don't think Microsoft got it from Bell Labs. "Just reboot" isn't Ritchie's invention so much as what you do when you're writing code in a too-small team and in a hurry in a crappy systems programming language. Since teams are always too small (else they are too large), and everyone is always in a hurry, the real problem is the programming language.

C's arrays-decay-to-pointers sin is the original sin here, but it's not for nothing that it's taken so long to get systems programming languages that have manual memory management and are memory-safe: that's a hard problem!
I understand that you want to keep your work private and not expose your documents to the internet, but there might be a situation where the document isn't that important to you and any online solution would be sufficient, let's say you one of your friends tells you to ask the ai a math problem they want to know how to solve/learn but the ai only understands text then you need to ocr the pdf which is jpg converted then copy it to the ai, you might be on your phone or away from your desktop environment, here you might consider using an online solution like pdfequips :)
And perhaps further worth noting, the reason K uses dyadic & and | for minimum and maximum (respectively) is because logical AND and logical OR are identical to minimum and maximum if the arguments happen to be boolean (0/1). The notation and selection of primitives illustrate a useful and memorable symmetry.
It's shorter, you're working directly with the code base you're already thinking about, and it's plugged into it rather than having to start a new mental task when you're looking at a pull request.
No, absolutely not. Have you confused HN for Twitter?

But this is what I want to know. They thought they could replace the ppl in the first place.
I’ve found that early on in a brand new project, its output is very useful, but as the project grows more complex and interdependent, the suggestions become less so.
I guess you could mail a cellphone or AirTag to their registered address, then even if they find it and don’t forward it, you could follow the person(s) who fetch or deliver the mail to the company location.

You could maybe even skip the mailing step and just watch the registered address and trace the movements of everyone who visits that location.

Do you have any other methods you can think of?
Nice site, would you be putting it on GH at some point? I'm very interested, no, captivated by simple projects like this using FastAPI and want to learn that
> they all start voting, including in local elections, in about 10 years you will see change.

Who would they vote for according to you to see this change in 10 years?

Both parties have been taking turn governing and yet, here we are. A cynic would point out that we've seen empirically that voting doesn't change anything.
Cool to see other early adopters singing their praises too and again The majority who review the Ray ban smart glasses say the same thing
Even auto complete and language servers are bad for you. It causes api spread. No lsp and no copilot makes you write more maintainable, simpler code and you can "keep the program in your head."
I have trouble not being harsh here. I will state that your understanding seems common in the Anglo world, for whatever reasons.

Even Britannica's dictionary editor don't seem to have read either Lyotard or Deleuze, and base its definition of a misreading (or mistranslation most likely, but I don't have proofs) of Derrida. Derrida later denied this reading, quite directly in "Twentieth-Century Literary Theory: An Introductory Anthologie", quite early (within the first 80 pages).

Anyway, this 'Rather, they just shallowly applied the same failings to different groups' is nonsensical when talking about postmodernism. I'm not sure exactly what you mean by 'failings', but the idea of using 'groups' to describe anything is quite ant-postmodernist. To be pedantic, a key idea is that any binary distinction is sustained by its negation, and groups are typical binary distinction.

Honestly I will say it: I didn't read a lot about consciousness, so I tend to ask questions rather than give my uninformed opinion on a thread about Chalmers' last book. I would like that people giving their opinion about postmodernism read a bit before, even if it's only baudrillard (I will still hurt, but at least I won't feel like I have to explain basics I'm not sure I totally master).
Nothing's stopping you from making classic MacOS that OS – infinitemac.org is a tremendous website full of emulators with a large software collection and drag and drop file transfer! It has very good ergonomics if you just want to play around with it, throw some software you downloaded on to it, etc. When coding for the very early Mac, you just targeted a B&W 512x384 display.

The Macintosh Toolbox is a bit verbose, though.
There are loads of psychologists and neuroscientists today. Has any of them in the last few years produced anything advancing AI? The proof of the pudding is in the eating so if they have at a higher rate than just straight CS/Mathematics and related then there’s probably some truth to it.
"X media controlled by [private companies based in] X" has obvious antipatterns too, it creates oligarchs and tests how pure govts are abut enforcing competition legislation viz. takeovers and monopolies, also some markets have less $ than others. Consider Rupert Murdoch of Fox/Sky started out as a newspaper baron in Australia in the 1960s, bought US and UK titles, took over the UK tabloid industry in the 1980s (without becoming a UK citizen) and in return sold media favors to govts from Margaret Thatcher to Tony Blair, then became a US citizen in 1985 and expanded his empire to Fox/StarTV. Murdoch has been kingmaker for deciding who gets elected leader in multiple continents for 4+ decades now, also for selling the Iraq invasion to the US/UK/Australian publics.

This is why media ownership legislation has to put limits on both foreign ownership and monopolies. It's interesting to watch FB deny the blatant reality that it's a media company not just a technology company [0], since to admit the obvious would trigger oversight. US Congress is dancing around eventually having to legislate for that, on FB, YT, TikTok, Twitter/X et al.

What's the ratio of tensor cores to regular SIMD compute ("CUDA cores") on NVIDIA's current chips?
see the phrasebook https://www.jsoftware.com/help/phrases/contents.htm
“NVidia’s LIES..

On kernels such as flash attention, TMA and the L2 cache are both fast enough so as to hide these problems reasonably well. But to make the full use of the hardware, memory request must be coalesced and bank conflicts avoided
”

The depth of the competition is also starting to become apparent. There’s no way the documentation error was totally an accident. Diagrams are the easiest to steal / copy and there must have been some utility for nvidia to have left this in place. Remember when Naveen Rao’s Nervana was writing NVidia Maxwell drivers that out-performed NVidia’s own? Not every documentation mishap in a high-growth product is a competition counter-measure, but given that the researchers spent so long reverse-engineering wgmma and given the China-US political situation of the H100 in particular, it seems NVidia is up to its old tricks to protect its moat.

So don’t over-study the H100 peculiarities, as “what hardware does AI want?” really encompasses the commercial situation as well.
Yeah, could use a readme for sure.
Well, I don't. I use almost exclusively FOSS software that has no telemetry whatsoever, and where there is any phoning home, I either turn it off or make sure I know what it's doing and am happy with it.

I think it should be the standard, but fact is most computer users are entertainment consumers and their computing devices are just a new and improved TV. It doesn't even occur to them to ask what's going on, hence the ubiquity of proprietary spyware. With TUIs and other nerdy stuff like that, the userbase is generally going to give a shit more, hence the higher standard.
Likely a regional thing; they are consistently called Canadian Geese where I grew up and where I currently live.

I assume it gets easy to read once you practiced it a bunch

Yup, but for me at least, the learning curve is far gentler than a supposedly simple language like C or Go. After using C professionally for 12 years I still have to look up operator precedence or use cdecl from time to time. Meanwhile I feel like I can store all of K in my head with room to spare.
> I find it interesting to think you can socially engineer a society.

That's certainly not a new from of arrogance, people without the WIS to match their INT have been trying to construct utopias for quite a while.
