What an interesting, nuanced take. Thanks for sharing, you've given me a lot to think about.
This last sentence is the most important. You can describe your dB schema in words and get laravel migration, models, controllers and if you wanted policies, form requests etc all near perfect. You can get a V1 in 10-20 minutes then go about handling all the actual logic

Would you agree with the statement, "the maximum of an array should be contained in that array?" That seems like a reasonable constraint that most languages uphold.

> Daily cannabis use was associated with increased odds of psychotic disorder compared with never users (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 3·2, 95% CI 2·2–4·1), increasing to nearly five-times increased odds for daily use of high-potency types of cannabis (4·8, 2·5–6·3).
No. Political parties change their behavior to capture voting demographics. Right now politicians aren't motivated to win the young vote because we vote less.
Younger voters tend to blue.

Approximately half (53%) of young Americans indicate they will "definitely be voting" in the 2024 general election for president. Young Americans' interest in voting in 2024 is now on par with Harvard Youth Poll data from 2020, which indicated that 54% would likely vote.

If the presidential election were held today, President Biden would outperform former President Trump among both registered (50% Biden, 37% Trump) and likely young voters under 30 (56% Biden, 37% Trump). When there is no voter screen (i.e., all young adults 18-29), the race narrows to single digits, 45% for President Biden, 37% for former President Trump, with 16 percent undecided.

Among the 1,051 "likely voters" in our sample, we found significant differences in support levels based on gender, age, race/ethnicity, and education levels, among other subgroups. For example, among likely young voters:

President Biden's lead among young men is six points; among young women his lead is 33 points;
President Biden's lead among 18-24 year-olds is 14 points, and among 25-29 year-olds it is 26 points;
President Biden's lead among white voters is 3 points; among non-white voters his lead is 43 points;
President Biden's lead among college students is 23 points; he leads by 47 points among college graduates. The race is even among those not in college and without a four-year degree.

> What I've seen mostly is a different kind of groupthink, where critical thinking and open, curious and honest discussion is not tolerated.

In my experience it really hasn't been hard to find a home for every position at a reasonably-sized school: fraternities and clubs are all over the spectrum (often actively endorsed and sponsored by the school).

Even at UC Berkeley, one of the largest organizations here is the Berkeley College Republicans — and last year I attended a Turning Point USA event officially hosted by San Francisco State University perfectly fine (even with it being the "leftist" school that established Ethnic Studies).

A generalization that is worded like a sci-fi blockbuster logline doesn't seem to square with critical discussion — if anything it comes across as a redigestion of online forum posts and second-hand accounts. It's hard to say any university of a reasonable size has one monolithic culture, even within the same department.
Yeah; its concerning how depressingly similar Sam's recent language is to, say, SBF's in his prime. Waxing poetically with faux-intellectualism about the sheer addressable market his business will capture (all of humanity) (and funded by the government) [1]. You can just listen to key players in the space, how their language has changed over the past year, and recognize that we're probably very near a local maxima / plateau / AI winter.

Reality is: AI is startlingly expensive. Stupid, stupid expensive. Microsoft is building "Stargate", their $100B AI-focused supercomputer [2]. The money to build that isn't coming from selling AI services. Its coming from their old, boring, tried and true businesses; Windows, Office, Azure, and M365. Xbox is dying before our eyes. Their tried and true businesses make great money but aren't growing. Its up to AI to prove to investors that their P/E multiple is justified.

Absolutely I could have learned more from that particular project if I'd spent more time with it rather than getting the LLM to do the work... but that's why I like it as an example: since it was effectively a distraction (a "side quest") the alternative wasn't learning more, it was not doing it at all (and learning nothing).

I'm able to get really great results out of LLMs because I have 20+ years of experience helping me know what questions to ask of them.

I do feel like my rate of learning has increased though, because I'm much more likely to try out a completely new technology when I know an LLM can flatten the learning curve for me a bit.
That's what Putin said were his reasons. Does that mean they actually were the reasons?
Nice, what kind of notes are you looking for?
> The truth about this universe is that Israel has been braking international humanitarian laws...

What laws?

Usually when people answer that question, they just refer to a law ("look up the Geneva Conventions") and then disappear. If you could, please actually quote the relevant paragraphs and, even better, an actual court ruling.
I agree on all his diagnostics. The solution part is the part I'm not totally on-board.
I very much aim to learn something new with every project. The thing I like most about working with LLMs is that they let me take on MORE projects!

I agree, and it's sad to feel the need to say this, but it's so important in this inflammatory era to respond positively to ideas and opinions despite not agreeing 100% or even 80%, because too often the baby is thrown out with the bathwater (especially online)
I'm curious about your plans around open-source, since you're using it as a selling point. There's been a lot of discussion about projects that start as open-source but then go to a more restrictive license once other companies start offering their own hosted versions. Is that a concern for you?

Do you plan to include any/all of the "pro" features on the roadmap in the open-source code?
>That seems like the flaw here, not the other thing. Why should the US government have any entitlement to tax activity that occurs entirely outside their jurisdiction?

Tax evasion doesn't cease to be tax evasion because you don't feel like you owe the government taxes.
No, I have things to do.
Yeah of course, Apple also doesn't block you from recording your own porn. But using those apps is more of a workaround than a real first class citizen. Some things that are probably still missing is passthrough (seeing the model cut out of the scene in your environment) and toy integration (I don't have a vision pro so I can't check)

But movies isn't really the end game. It's much nicer than 2D porn but it's still very limited because you can't influence the action or move around. Having real interactive 3D content would be another big step that isn't currently possible with apple's restrictions.

There's isn't much yet but some is already happening on the pcvr side.

I just lament that this isn't being viewed as having the huge potential I know it has.

Writing your obscure language in a popular language has an overwhelming benefit: simplicity of bootstrapping.

The user can easily obtain an executable C compiler from their distro or whatever. With that, they build your language.

If your language is written in itself entirely, then the user needs an executable of the compiler for your language.

There is a second benefit: C is an external language. Nothing that you do in your program changes the C language. If your language is written in itself, and you make changes to it, you're changing the language in which your language is written. Mistakes in this can cause hair-pulling bugs.

Bootstrapping with another language like C doesn't have to mean that anything remains that is written in C in the boostrapped product!

A self-in-self thing can be turned into a C boostrapped thing by simply adding an independent, minimal implementation of that language written in C that the user can compile and run, which is capable of running the real self-in-self compiler to compile that compiler and the run-time. Once that is done, the real compiler can be used to again compiler the compiler into a faster compiler and the run-time into a faster run-time. After that, the C boostrapper is not used for anything, and there is no evidence of it in the product.
Yet psyops/marketing proof to be very effective, thus it does work to a certain extend.
Both are currently engineering society at above cold war levels.
How effective it is might even be relatively simple to measure because of various methods of the past being reintroduced.
Yeah the copilot doesn’t need to be integrated into every keystroke, just able to analyze the context and kickstart the code. Getting up to speed with new libraries is so much easier with AI instead of the bad old days of trial-and-error-and-marked-as-duplicate
Someday, "OpenAI" will open up their models too.
The NPUs on a lot of different systems occupy an awkward spot. For extremely small models, they're the way to go for low-power inference. But once you reach LLM or vision transformer size, it makes a lot more sense to switch to GPU shaders for that extra bit of large-model performance. For stuff like Llama and Stable Diffusion, those Neural Engines are practically wasted silicon. The biggest saving grace is projects like ONNX attempting to sew them into a unified non-15-competing-standards API, but even that won't change how underpowered they are.

Nvidia escapes this by designing their GPU architecture to incorporate NPU concepts at a fundamental level. It's less redundant silicon and enables you to scale a single architecture instead of flip-flopping to whichever one is most convenient.
A big LED matrix? That would be cool. Do such monitors exist?
No it's self learning due to algorithms
I enjoy working with interns, you can see them learn and they are always making new mistakes. I get a return on the effort of training them. They might even convert into full time employees and take some of my workload.

I don't get that feeling from the LLMs. They have about the same skill level of an intern, but they don't _learn_. I can't offload any work to them, and they take the same level of effort to manage.

I'm not in this job to manage interns. I'm in this job to solve problems. Training the intern is a payment by current me for future me.

This isn't like going from books to Internet search or StackOverflow. It doesn't provide an immediate benefit to me, and I don't benefit in the future from my contributions. I'm not seeing the share-alike vibe necessary for scale.

I want tools that make me faster and more efficient. That's how I keep increasing my wage. Maybe if I could _see_ the AI learn from my training? Maybe if I saw benefit from the effort? However, right now, I'm paying for the benefit of training the LLM.
1 megawatt connection is not question of some paperwork and permits, but massive underlying infrastructure. And that infrastructure is simply not there.

If EVs use diesel generators and coal, they are not zero emmisions. In fact ICEs produce less CO2 emmisions, if you count energy losses from charging, battery production etc...

>maybe a benevolent billionaire class will be more likely to 'fix' society more than our 'elected' representatives can

1. they're literally not

2. theoretically, representatives are representative

if you're concerned about someone's choices, i think you have a better chance at influencing the choices of someone who is at least nominally and maybe actually accountable to you.

the talk is about material allocations. it's actually pretty easy to just deliberately change material allocations, we're doing it all the time. having an opinion on how we do that is not some kind of engineering.

the accountability within our current power structure is quite debatable, but you can change that too.

Don’t blame the messenger. Of course when a democratic president fails to execute on a policy, his political opponents are going to be the ones that point it out. That’s irrelevant. The point is that it should not take years to build out some goddamn EV chargers with $7.5 billion in funding. If it does, then we shouldn’t spending that money because there’s a more fundamental problem with the government’s ability to execute that needs to be fixed first.

The reaction you expressed is exactly the wrong one for anyone who wants to see government build infrastructure, or do more in general. It would be a disaster for republicans if democrat-run governments could actually deliver on their promises and deliver cost-effective, efficient public services in transit, education, healthcare, etc. The defensive reflex that seeks to insulate government failures from accountability only helps republicans.

No. I think the maximum of (x:xs) should be equal to max x (maximum xs). (Using haskell notation). Logically this implies maximum [] should be -infinity if it is defined. On finite lists, maximum is also the same as the supremum, and on infinite sets the supremum doesn't necessarily have to be contained in the set. So there's at least some precedent for not having the maximum in the list.

Yes, if you compare an implementation of reference counting that doesn't stop the world with an implementation of GC that does explicitly stop the world, you will find that GC stops the world more.

No, it isn't. It's just getting started in my opinion.

When GPT5 gets released, it's going to take hype to a whole new level again.
Yes, definitely, you don't have to use the simplest version of reference counting, you can soup it up.

But you can play the same games with GC. So this is not specific to reference counting. There are incremental and real time versions of GC.

When I write code, I usually get a complete understanding of the problem and constraints. I have a picture in my mind of all the edge cases and branching that can happen, which most of the time allows me to write correct code without bugs.

When I review code, I am completely unable to get this mental picture, and I usually miss a lot of issues that I would otherwise have avoided.

Which is why I don't see the point of Copilot.
I'd also not upload any personal or identifying docs up to this, but I would use it for fliers and it would REALLY be useful converting PDFs I downloaded off the ineternet to begin with. (I've downloaded stuff in the past that I had to convert in order enter the data on the PDF into my computer. Geologic data for maps, list of states with capitals, alphabetized by them--well before ChatGPT, the list goes on.)
The makers of Pico-8 just released a fantasy desktop called Picotron, and it's rather amusing. Not really a suitable daily-driver yet, though.
I don't understand why someone would even want the ports to all be on the center line.
That would correspond. I think it was similar when I myself had 4 to 6 years of experience. There was a stigma that senior devs were slow and didn't adapt well to new tech. Like it was seen as if they had 1 year of experience 20 times instead of 20 years of experience. I feel horrible for ever having bought that.
Show HN: Talking+ Transform Anything into AI Virtual Pets
Hello Hacker News community,

I'm excited to share a project I've been working on called Talking+. It's an app that lets you transform any object, plant, or animal into an interactive AI virtual pet. Using advanced AI and machine learning techniques, Talking+ allows users to snap a photo of virtually anything and watch as it turns into a customized AI companion. These AI pets can learn, respond, and evolve based on user interactions, providing a unique blend of entertainment and companionship.

Key features include:

AI Transformation: Convert any image into a live, interactive AI pet.
Customization: Personalize your AI pets' appearances and behaviors.
Interactive Communication: Engage in voice chats with your AI pets, seeing them respond in real-time.
Learning and Growth: Watch as your AI pets develop personalities and skills based on how you interact with them.
I built Talking+ to explore the possibilities of AI in everyday life and to provide a fun, engaging way to interact with technology. I'm eager to hear your feedback, suggestions, and ideas on how to improve or expand the app's capabilities.

Check it out and let me know what you think!
This feels like a non sequitur apropos the parent comment. Could you elaborate?
You just dig a hole in my heart
My belief is that societal and technological sophistication is overall extremely stressful for organisms that were prepared for a very different life by evolution.

Our neurosis is a byproduct of our success and of the highly complex and competitive nature of our social interactions.

Touching grass, spending time with animals, learning to accept and appreciate our animal roots, is what can balance the stress.
Is there any large country that has not utterly destroyed their young people’s future?
I am now anticipating some form of an existential crisis around whether animals that can talk via a specific language are any less entitled to rights than other humans.
Hm, this is true, but I think it's worth pointing out that this is more general. The article was focusing on how JIT is harder than interpreting, whereas neither model in parent's post is inherently more complicated.
Compared to CUDA, Vulkan is... not fun to code compute in! The serialization bridge and duplicating data structures and functions between CPU and GPU is tedious.
I feel like this bit is important for this discussion: "...I do not use Copilot for my day job. I use it for my own projects only..."

My guess is the people that don't use Copilot because they don't trust it, or don't like the code it produces, are probably trying to use it in a professional scenario where they have strict coding standards. For hobbyist use or side-projects, Copilot is an incredible time saver. I use it with my Python side-projects, and it's truly amazing how much time it saves me. Some of the most common use-cases where it saves me time:

- Adding docstrings. Just type `"""` after a method name, pause for a second, and Copilot will generate a pretty decent docstring. And usually it will mimic the style you've used to write other docstrings in the file.
- Writing tests. This one can be a bit hit-and-miss, but I mostly get good a good starting point, and in the best case it will suggest test scenarios that I might not have thought about.
- Creating basic functions/methods. I have terrible memory and usually need to refer to the docs for even fundamental Python code, e.g. reading or writing CSV files, looping over and modifying dictionaries, etc... But with Copilot, I get great results, often just by typing `def open_csv_file` and then pausing for a second to get the method code. If that doesn't work, adding a comment with what you want the function to do before writing the function name will help a lot.
- Adding type hints to existing code. Just type ":" and pause for a second, and Copilot will almost always provide the correct type hint. And pressing a space after the closing parentheses in a function, will almost always return the correct return type hint.
It's a difference of kind, not degree. A dollar is a vote within a marketplace; a vote determines the shape of the marketplace itself. The idea that the market can solve all things is core to neo-liberal capitalism, but has been widely discredited. In fact, Scott Galloway's excellent talk can be seen as the direct result of neo-liberal policies since the 90's.
The whole world nearly is ruining young folks and couples by letting housing be so expensive. It's ridiculous given the amazing tech we have for comfortable shelter, but prices are still sky high. There's no excuse. Forget coastal California, lots of cheap land is available.
>quantum mechanics is incompatible with local hidden-variable theories

>local

That's an important modifier.

>The 2022 nobel prize was awarded because these experiments were finally completed, and they showed conclusively that there were no hidden variables in quantum mechanics.

Nah, from the same article:

"The exact nature of the assumptions required to prove a Bell-type constraint on correlations has been debated by physicists and by philosophers. While the significance of Bell's theorem is not in doubt, its full implications for the interpretation of quantum mechanics remain unresolved."
One more "doable" for Scott - Campaign finance reform. It doesn't matter who you vote for if when they get to congress, they represent their donors rather than the voters. We could call our current system "free speech" or we could call it "legalized bribery." We made the wrong choice.
Github Copilot definitely improved my coding productivity. However, most of my time is spent thinking about the problem to be solved than the actual coding.
