This article is more about politics than something interesting to hackers. It's a difficult line, but in this case the way the article appeals to emotion instead of basing on fact and example is why, IMO, it's flagged.

IMO, if this topic is important to you, I'd find a source that doesn't have a political agenda, and doesn't appeal to emotion. Unions, (love or hate them,) are political organizations, and often work by appealing to emotions.

See: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

> Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, or celebrities, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon.

Edit: Remember that most people on Hacker News are either entrepreneurs, who do not want their employees to unionize, or professionals, who can negotiate independently and don't need a union to protect their income and work environment.
"Why I don't agree; robots, CNC, AI all still greatly enhance the abilities of high skill workers way more than low skill workers."

At somepoint CNC won't need humans making things in CAD. You'll just tell and AI what to great and it'll model it and plug it all in.

I believe there will be job loss in both categories too. Obviously that leads to inequality as well. Sure, some productivity increase will be helpful, but after a certain point if demand doesn't also increase it will result in headcount cuts.

I feel bad for the next generation. I'm not sure what ro tell my kid to study when they get older. It seems the only places with longer-term stability will be with artificial or natural moats. Maybe law (litigation), law enforcement, or medicine. Maybe a business degree since that could be applied to many different things. I don't know. The choice seemed easy for me - I was good with computers and logic, and IT paid well.

> Isn't Siri required for speech processing?

Probably, but I don't use it, only use my car buttons/dial for controlling CarPlay. The times I've tried the voice control it got maybe 50% of the instructions correct, which was more distracting than the muscle-learned buttons/dial control, so I keep using what works.

If I was trying to use voice control, it'd make sense. But I don't, so it doesn't.

1. Is what gets in my way the most when writing C. The whole undefined behaviour story is a wreck.

Not hugely relevant but zero initialised globals don't imply code inserted before main. They get allocated at link time into a continuous blob which is zeroed by the loader. Non-zero values take up space in the binary but also involve no code generation. Global constructors, C++ style, usually do involve walking an array of function pointers before main though.
Should have used lisp instead, and see all them networks light up like the new years' fireworks.
this missing piece also seems to be described under the banner "narcissism", which is a coping mechanism often acquired in childhood to deal with some sort of abuse or trauma
I'd say coding is more like playing a game than reading. It is initially difficult but once the fundamentals are learnt, the activity becomes one of how to use the fundamentals in creative ways to achieve a goal.
The slots are not independently upgradeable on DDR5.

Firstly, everyone uses dual channel. You don't buy a single module, you buy two at a time.

Secondly, speeds go down so much for 2DPC that if you currently have 32GB (total) and want to have 64GB, the correct update path is not to purchase an additional 32GB, it is to toss your current 2 16GB modules and purchase two new 32GB modules.

CAMM2 just recognizes this, and first puts all channels on a single module, and secondly gets rid of that stupid unusable second connector, in exchange for having room in the standard for larger module sizes.
what do you mean obsolete, read about PTX target tests:

Yeah, interesting world where people are wanting MS to make a phone...again.
You just buy large modules. There are 64 and 128gb modules (mainly meant for servers)

For example 64gb from Samsung for 350€ https://www.dateks.lv/en/cenas/atmina-ram/1028642-samsung-64...

I think they go up to 512gb per single module these days. The really big ones are really hard to buy for us mere mortals but you can get them through various data center/enterprise hardware vendors.
Of all the stupid Twitter design decisions new management has made, that's the one that baffles me most, because _everyone knows that pay-for-attention doesn't work_ as a dynamic. Social media has known this doesn't work since more or less before social media existed, because _dating sites_ have been trying to make it work, with very limited success, for 25 years now.
In reference to that "Finding the Air Cannon" article. The author indicated the following facts:

* His listening posts were part of a triangle with sides of length 3.8km, 3.0km and 6.3km

* The vertices were on the roads in Corvallis, Bellfountain Rd, Brooklane Dr and Rivergreen Ave

* The relative times of arrival are 0, 4, 6

* The temperature was 35F or 1 degree celsius

The only way I can make a triangle that fits on those three roads yields a set of the following likely co-ordinates from where his listening posts are:

44.52421,-123.33492 44.53796,-123.29172 44.52975,-123.25571

Adding the relative times to the co-ordinates in a form whereby my localization program can work on it and putting it through my localization program I get the following result:

$ localize_event.sh 1

44.52421,-123.33492 2024-05-27_12-00-00.0

44.53796,-123.29172 2024-05-27_12-00-04.0

44.52975,-123.25571 2024-05-27_12-00-06.0

Knowing how localization works where the sound source is outside of the polygons it could be a bit further South as well.

I'd be very curious to know how close I have been in working this out.

But your title said "has automated them away". Do you think GPT4 can truly replace everything that programmers do? Taking vague instructions and turning them into working solutions?

I don't think so. GPT4 is really far away from that. You can look at Devin (powered by GPT4) and see that it can only 13.86% of issues on real world projects without human intervention. That's a tiny number. I'd bet that it performs even worse for internal projects due to more complexity in business requirements, and worse written specs (open source projects write better specs because they have to).
Thank you for responding.

"Software Engineer", "Computer Programmer" Again - I've been programming for 24 years.

I prefer calling myself a computer programmer, and I don't make a distinction personally. I think we're all just engineers or whatever.

> ChatGPT is, on one level, a fancy form of Google search: you still need to know how to leverage it in order to make progress, and it's based on knowledge (correct OR incorrect) that was originally generated by a human, one of whom must still evaluate as to whether the outputs are (still, in the case of historical knowledge) suitable for the task at hand, or not.

This is 100% true. And NOTHING in my original post says anything otherwise. I'm just saying it in a way that pisses people off, and I'm not meaning to.
I think the wrong bit is "bulk" in:

"But the bulk of what employers pay programmers for: searching google and integrating solutions"
Using words like 'cult' and 'evil' I think says more about your bias than anything else.
This is pretty much irrelevant though. I have a CO2 monitor for a closed space. Heavy exercise with the door closed will set off the 1500 PPM alarm every time. Do I care that it is off by maybe +/- 200 PPM? Not at all. It still absolutely serves its purpose of sounding an alarm when the air gets stale.
This is commonly done via WAFs and SSE products, but other methods are needed as well.
There is a way to make twitter usable. Mass blocking.

And I do like the "For you" feed. I do want to read random people's tweets, I keep finding solid reading material that way. But that means I have to block a significant portion of all of twitter. I'd say after about 50k to 100k accounts blocked it gets better. Less for other languages.

There are browser plug-ins that block all accounts that follow a given account. Those are great. So, whenever I find a MAGA guy with Russian grammar structure, an NFT scammer, a bible quote proselytizer, or a Tesla bag holder, I just block everybody following that account.

It takes about a day or two of doing, but then it works great. Best done when sick, works well with headaches and a fever. But now my twitter experience is about as good as it was 2017.
Data that isn't internally managed database exports.

One of the reasons big data systems took off was because enterprises had exports out of third party systems that they didn't want to model since they didn't own it. As well as a bunch of unstructured data e.g. floor plans, images, logs, telemetry etc.
Maybe it’s just me but the things I’ve tried to get ChatGPT (and other related tools) to do has fallen over really fast after you get past the initial toy examples. We’re talking complete inability to resolve introduced errors, grossly insecure APIs, misinterpreting requirements and straight up hallucinating libraries where it couldn’t figure out how to implement something itself.

For light research and rapid prototyping it’s just another tool that augments a human and I think the fundamental underlying technology will not be able to fully resolve those issues until new architectures come out.
For anyone downvoting this person, keep in mind they are quite obviously being sarcastic……
> Nobody is doing the slaughter for fun, though. It's always guns or dogs doing the dirty work. Funny that.

But also to provide. The estate near us has shoots every season and the fowl which is killed is given to the local residents. Lots of local poorer people really look forward to shoot season because they can pack their freezer with lots of free meat. I speak to lots of older folks in the area and they say this is the way it has been done for hundreds of years.
I wonder. Prices ending in some number of nines have been around for a hundred years or more now.

Perhaps we're so used to everything priced ending in 9 that we now subconsciously think that anything not priced in 9 has something wrong with it?

I do like to dress nicely from time to time, but fashion as a topic, hobby or even obsession is something completely lost on me. In my case I can confirm that there is no pathological condition underlying my disinterest. I do like people that try something new or unexpected, but you have to shove it in my face for me to be interested at all.

Although this disinterest can also get you into trouble. "Didn't you notice something?" your better half might suddenly throw at you. A heinous act of aggression for sure, questioning your ability to integrate in anything approaching civilization. Pondering your barbarism and if your normal attire would consist only of a loincloth made out of deer hide. A deer hide from a road kill of course, we live in the 21st century after all.
You can define such a struct yourself. You do not need to modify the language.

My first job was doing hadoop stuff around ~2011. I think one of the biggest motivators for big data or rather hadoop adoption was that it was open source. Back then most of the data warehousing platforms dominated by oracle, netezza, EMC, teradata etc. were super expensive on per GB basis. It was followed by lot of success stories about how facebook save $$$ or you could use google's mapreduce for free etc.

Everyone was talking about data being the new "oil".

Enterprise could basically deploy petabyte scale warehouse run HBase or Hive on top of it and build makeshift data-warehouses. It was also when the cloud was emerging, people started creating EMR clusters and deploy workloads there.

I think it was solution looking for problem. And the problem existed only for a handful of companies.

I think somehow, how cloud providers abstracted lot of these tools and databases, gave a better service and we kind of forgot about hadoop et al.

You now have an agent with full access over that network.
> They also need to make 4 inch phone, like iPhone SE 1. That was the perfect size for a phone.

There are dozens of people who agree with you ;)

Apple came late to the big phone and were pulled there by the market. I'm surprised they still release a smaller phone at all given the rumors of such low sales.
That's fine then because no one has ever managed to get around a single security measure, especially not in the world of computing.
> If it has utility, then it will give the farmer the budget and the willingness to pay.

That's not how it works at all.

Farmers are rational and the price system is behaving efficiently here. The waiting time is part of the price.

Crop dusting can still be better than not crop dusting even if the profit does not cover the "full" market price. Example: crop dusting improves farm profit by $5000/year, but costs either $8000 for a pilot in a market with abundant high quality pilots, or $4000 in a market of 10th percentile pilots with long wait times. If the actual effect of crop dusting is the same in both cases, a rational farmer will choose the latter over no crop dusting at all.
It changes that we can prove it. In as much as you can do experiments where you "hide" actions from one half, mess with it (e.g. totally change "choices" supposedly made by the brain) and ask the other half to explain why "it" made the choice, and it will do so, unaware that the choice was made by the experimenters. It won't go "sorry, but I don't know" or similar.
> I want behavior matching my architecture.

Then use assembly. C is meant to abstract CPU architecture away.
To be fair, your comment was in no way interesting. You announced that you closed the tab without reading the article, providing no value to anyone. I don't see why you're surprised about a lack of votes on your comment.
Hmm. I could definitely see that. Learn to speak early because the parent obviously isn't recognizing and responding to your needs the way you're already trying to communicate them (not that it'll help; not being able to understand isn't the narcissist's problem). Do your best to create extensive mental pattern lists of safe/unsafe things to do or say (not that it'll help; narcissists aren't consistent even with themselves). Do everything in your power to seem like those bigger people who are safer than you (not that it'll help).

It's amazing how much growing up with a parent like that can mess you up. I actually thought I had undiagnosed high-functioning autism for awhile, because I thought I was terrible at reading social cues, and was so easily and frequently overstimulated. It took some serious therapy to discover, no, I'm fine at reading nonverbal and social cues. I just spent the entirety of my formative years being gaslit at every turn about what my dad's expressions meant, so learned I couldn't trust myself. And I'm much more highly attuned to my surroundings because I spent the entirety of my formative years knowing threats loomed around every corner, because ANY wrong thing could set dad off. It was trauma, nit autism. My parasympathetic nervous system never learned to come online and down-regulate, because the threat was never over. My body and brain developed in the constant presence of cortisol and adrenaline. That does make it so I'm easily overstimulated.

One of the things I'm working on is cultivating gratitude even for the worst things in my life, in light of the goodness in it now. I wouldn't be the same me were it not for those things, and if I'm grateful for who I am now, I can't really pick and choose which parts of that history I'm grateful for. I don't really like that it's all-or-nothing, that I can't be completely grateful for the present if I still reject my past, but it's working a lot better than anything else has. I do not and will never condone many of the things in my past, but being grateful for all the parts has been part of my journey to gratitude for the whole.
This wouldn’t work unless you are applying to a created-in-weekend service.

I wanted to love Mastodon.

While slightly better, both seem to me like an utter waste of time to me.

There is just an unsolvable, signal to noise problem when it comes to a personal optimal feed for me.

The content I will like best will not be popular. If that is true then it is hopeless for me because of the scaling properties of the assumptions of the system and incentives for users of the system.

I am better off just talking to chatGPT4o and it isn't even close.

Yes it's possible to use these kinds of schemes to get artificially cheap transactions. I don't see such schemes being employed on Solana right now and I anticipate that we're going to see much more of that on Ethereum Rollups in the near future.
OK - you and this other kind soul in the thread at 5 AM PST (my time) are very much helping me understand how much I suck because you're exactly saying my point.

People are looking at Devin and saying: "Gah, Parlor Trick!" GPT hasn't replaced the programmer!

But what they're missing is that the bulk of what an experienced programmer does is search Google for Stack Overflow posts and use their extensive expertise to assemble together solutions.

I am absolutely not saying that GPT has replaced the programmer--I'm saying people are too caught up in that to see what's really happened:

My job, as a 24 year programmer, has been largely replaced. It hasn't been replaced, but it is largely automated freeing me to do other activities or more of the old activity at a new scale.

What do you think now?
The "(multiple times)" part probably means batching or streaming.

But yeah, they might have that much RAM. At a rather small company I was at we had a third of it in the virtualisation cluster. I routinely put customer databases in the hundreds of gigabytes into RAM to do bug triage and fixing.
What do you mean cross-reference to them? You can link to any heading. Just place your cursor on the heading and the page URL will update. You can then link to that either from within the document or externally.

It's a second system syndrome + survivor bias thing I think: people who had to clean up the mess of a good MVP complaining about what wasn't done before. But the companies that DID do that planning and architecting before did not survive to be complained about.
> Well, it is not self driving. Anyone who uses FSD Beta is beta-testing it and should be paying the same amount of attention as if they were driving themselves.

Putting aside that the initials "FSD" stand for "Full Self-Driving", the level of attention of ordinary human driving is not enough. If that is the case, FSD Beta is accidents waiting to happen and should be removed from public roads.

Human driving goes beyond the factual realisation that there is a train crossing the road and the driver reasoning that they must push the brake. Rather, it is the driver having a constant feedback loop of information followed by intuitive reactions as to the action to take. Case in point, the cliché of having driven all they way from home to work and vice-versa and realising that one cannot remember the journey, even though the driver paid full attention to all rules and reacted appropriately to each obstacle. An attentive driver may even brake their vehicle when an object has flown into vision before having actually processed what the object was.

Compare that to the type of attention that would be necessary for "FSD Beta". The speed at which the car is travelling is disconnected from any immediate feedback loop in the driver's nervous system. The driver sees an obstacle in the road, one of many over the past few weeks which required no intervention given that the car reacted appropriately. Here is another obstacle. Has the car seen this one? If not, will the car see it soon? Will it react appropriately in time? Should the driver intervene now? That requires much greater attention and decision making than the intuitive process of human driving, all the more so considering that the majority of the time the occupant of the driver's seat in the "FSD" car is becoming accustomed that there's no need to intervene.
Advertising is indeed a great evil. The more so when it is allowed to hide under the skirts of other indoctrination efforts.

Just imagine what could happen if major media was taken over by a clique of religious Anti-Humanists. We'd be flooded with stories about how bad people are. It'd be worked into stories about every single subject. It'd become weird to read a news story that didn't mention"humans are bad"...
Does anyone have first hand knowledge of how ChatGPT would be used to sort through resumes?
