basically this is a lot of seemingly AI-generated drivel directly related to driving you to Cody, whatever their thing they are trying to sell with this click baity headline is doing.

I could not find anything of substance in this article, and was disappointed, because I feel this is a topic in dire need of discussion.
Guantanamo should be next.
What “flaws in Microsoft” do you think you were highlighting?
I've tested it briefly and like the concept. However, I'm curious about its real-world applications and user-friendliness. The search function could be more intuitive. Despite these, it's an innovative step in the LLMs field. Is there a plan to develop this into a workflow builder or something?
It's both. The class of younger generations who can afford to be homeowners is much smaller than it was when previous generations were that age. Sure, it was never easy for most 30 year olds to buy a home but now a 30 year old has had to have a LOT of things swing their way to even consider it.
Do you have a followup command to execute the suggested command?
Turns out taking an active role in breaking into government systems is a bad idea. The whole situation is funny because he would have been out years ago had he not done everything in his power to avoid a trial haha.
Today: Don’t hire or train junior developers.

Five years later: Why can’t I find any senior developers? Shocked pikachu face.
Yes. It would be a pretty useless lappy if I did not get updates.
Oh, no app store as well. Installations come through something called jamf.
Updates are controlled centrally. In fact if you find one of our lappies on the street, it's pretty much useless as it's somehow connected to apple and our account. A full install from USB comes right up to a work login. I got a broken one once and fixed it (PCB level repair) thinking I'll just use it myself as it was to be thrown out. In the end I just sent it back to the mothership.

I have a home desktop as well, and I don't find the work one much harder to use.
He must be enemy number one for a lot of states who want to make the US look sub human and engage in conspiracies.
Article's source is two tweets. Let's maybe consult Occam before diving too far down the conspiracy hole. Confirmed Priors are a hell of a drug, as it were.

The point being that there is a extremely simple explanation for this accident that people are willfully ignoring because of the manufacturer of the vehicle.
Such a lengthy and badly written article with multiple mentions to "cody". I bet most people will discuss just the title.
I hope Assange never has to buy a beer for the rest of his life.
Probably selling rights to someone to train models...
> It should be illegal for them to prohibit an app on their store and alternative distribution. Triply so if it at all competes with them.

My very amateur reading of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40773883 is that it probably literally is (edit: in the EU, to be clear). It'll be interesting to see how that plays out.
If everyone raised their prices of umbrellas due to rain, I'd lower my prices a bit to get those customers.

And then so would they, and so would you, and so would they, and pretty soon you'll all find an equilibrium-while-raining price.
To be fair, Indonesia is hardly alone as a republic to have elected an appalling character for a leader. If anything, they're somewhat late to this past decade's wave.
>You don't have to be a political insider to guess that the stock will increase in value.

having non public information about a company that is also doing well publically is still an effective trading strategy. the value of a company like Rheinmetall is the sum of it's sources of profit.

As you seem to be massively misinformed:

> What Is Distracted Driving?

> anything that takes your attention away from the task of safe driving.

Now obviously having a hat land on a windshield and actually block visibility would be worse, but catching something falling out of the edge of your vision especially something odd like a falling hat would easily qualify.

It’s also distracting pedestrians and so likely to result in other injuries.
Assange played an active role in breaking into government systems. He wasn't asking "can you get this for me?".
a non-redacted version would only be visible to EPA and Apple
Because you then deliberately stomp the brakes to stop the car you forgot you commanded to accelerate. Again, this happens all the time, and no one cares when it's a grandpa in a F-150.

> You'll have to discuss these matters with computationalists.

One doesn’t have to be a “computationalist” to believe that AIs have consciousness or intentionality. Consider panpsychism, according to which all physical matter (from quarks and leptons to stars and galaxies) possesses consciousness and intentionality, even if only in a rudimentary form. Obviously humans possess it in a much more developed form, but the consciousness and intentionality of a human differs from that of an electron only in degree not in essence. Coming to physical computers running AIs, given they (at times) can give a passable simulation of human consciousness and intentionality, it is plausible their consciousness and intentionality is much closer to that of a human that to that of an electron. Do I personally believe this is true? No. But that’s not the point - the point is you don’t have to be a computationalist to believe that AIs have (or might have) consciousness and intentionality, so even if your arguments against computationalism are correct (and while I’m no computationalist myself, I don’t view your arguments against it as strong), you still haven’t demonstrated they don’t/can’t have them. In my opinion, the most defensible conclusion regarding whether AIs have or could have consciousness/intentionality is one of agnosticism - nobody really knows, and anyone who thinks they know is probably mistaken

> I'm not an expert in synthetic biology but from what I've seen their initial stock always consists of existing biological matter and viral recombinators which are often produced in vats full of pre-existing living organisms like e. coli.

I think what you are saying is roughly right as to the current state of the discipline. But cellular life is just a complex chemical system, and there is no reason in principle why we couldn’t assemble it from scratch out of non-living components (such as a set of simple feedstock chemicals produced in chemical plants using non-biological processes). We don’t have the technology to do that yet but there is no reason in principle why we couldn’t eventually develop it. If you believe in abiogenesis, biological life was produced out of lifeless chemicals through random processes, and there is no reason in principle why we wouldn’t be able to repeat that in a laboratory, except that (one expects) by guiding the process instead of leaving it purely random, one might execute it in a human-scale timeframe, instead of the many millions of years it likely actually took.

That’s the thing - if abiogenesis is true, there is no reason in principle why humans couldn’t artificially synthesise genuinely living things - at least primitive microbial life - out of simple chemical compounds (water, ammonia, methane, etc) - without relying on any non-human lifeforms in the process. Your claims that there is some kind of hard boundary of “irreducible complexity” between the biological and the inorganic only make sense given a framework that rejects abiogenesis (such as theistic creationism)
Steve is right. Things are definitely changing in the space thanks to LLMs. Question is how quickly and in what way. I tend to think the junior devs are the ones embracing the LLMs.

As a side note: I use Cody and the Sourcegraph core search product at work. I recommend both (I particularly like Cody’s context building using repos). I also think they are in a competitive hard spot, because their own tools will get commoditized by the big bruisers in the space (GitHub, Gitlab, and Codewhisperer).
Yeah the rape accusation timing, for which he was never convicted, was quite convenient wasn't it.
This is a petty comment, but I have to make it: for a company as rich as Figma, and who's identity is design software, it's very jarring to see such horrendous math rendering (or lack thereof) in their blog.
Yeah, at some point I will try to write out something about all the various dance notations that I've been able to find. My favorite one is from SalsaIsGood.com. Totally incomprehensible to me for the most part, https://web.archive.org/web/20231001115608/https://www.salsa..., however, I really like the diagrams that they made https://web.archive.org/web/20231001115608/https://www.salsa... .

As to whether this all will be useful for learning how to dance, it remains to be seen. I didn't learn how to dance from diagrams and notation, but I also don't think there's that many good diagrams and notations to learn from, so it's hard to say whether it would have been effective or not. My answer at this point is to try and produce stuff that helps people and see whether it's possible or not.
I agree. My takeaway from this article is that I need to sign up for Anthropic so that I can bounce ideas off of GPT-4o. Ultimately, I’m seeing diminishing returns in the output of LLMs over the last 18 months.
(I think that was the joke)
It was replaceAll in 2021 and now this! Who knows what we’ll get in 2030. Maybe Array.prototype.last() even.
Wow I have never read something that I feel and live the total opposite of quite like this piece. To address the title first: My company only hires juniors, straight out of high school, sometimes HS juniors (3rd year). I myself was hired out of high school as an intern and now I am part owner (1/3rd of the board). It has gone fabulously for us and I wrote about this and why companies should consider it: https://simonsarris.com/p/growing-software-developers

As for the rest...

> You remember that big manufactured drama, right, about the new OpenAI "4o" GPT model supposedly having Scarlett Johansson's voice? That's the one. That model changed everything about programming overnight.

> ...

> You can quibble over the numbers, but it's clear that programmers using CHOP with these new models are getting a turbo boost.

I just don't think this is true. I think its a bit hyperbolic at this rate. And I don't think other people think its true which casts some doubt on part of this narrative.

> Things are changing fast. I'm an optimist, and I generally think, or at least hope, that as companies become more productive in the coming months and years, they simply get correspondingly more ambitious.

Again I really don't think we've seen any real productivity boost yet to companies. Maybe a few individuals, but not companies. And I am suspicious that we will, given the nature of things.

> All I can tell you is this: Get there early.

I actually think the opposite! You can safely ignore most of the AI hype cycle and tools right now. You don't have to play with them that much. You can wait a few more years and when they are more polished, use them more if you like them. There's really not a big rush.

I take umbrage with the style of this article, trying to convince of its point by using conspiratorial tones while gesturing towards movies. Maybe its amusing to some, but it feels like a crunch in its convincing-ness of the central arguments.
If a price arbitrage opportunity opens, then other retailers will advertise their lower prices.

That is why grocery retail is so low margin, if you try to increase your profit margin, someone else will take your business.
"Surge pricing" comes from Uber, where it absolutely can increase supply. If you're a part-time driver not working and then prices are suddenly double or triple, you might decide it's worth it to go make hay while the sun shines.
I don't think it's possible. The politicians needs something to talk, a psuedo-legged horse to ride on. The Mega Corporates need something to do, a psuedo-promise to show that they're not only abiding to the policy-makers and to do good by the users.

> Like, what if you discovered that each time you send an email, Thunderbird also sends the email address you were writing to to a server owned by Mozilla?

Then I wouldn't be surprised.

I haven't read Thunderbirds privacy policy in detail, so for all I know there's a clause about collecting email addresses in there. Could even be for a good reason, spam filtering for example.

And as mentioned I take that into account when writing emails. I do indeed avoid writing certain stuff and avoid sending certain mails due to privacy. For the rest I see it as an acceptable risk/reward tradeoff.

I'm not a tinfoil hat kinda guy, but the innocence is gone when it comes to modern software.
It’s a fight to the bottom until we see the gaps. Senior associates think they can replace junior associates, managers think they can replace seniors, partners think they can replace managers and so on. My expectation, however inconvenient for me, is that juniors will be safe, mid levels will suffer as their subject matter will rebalance, seniors will collect the profit. Juniors will suffer longer term on a path with more selective progression.
Yep, came here to say this. I don't use it often, but it's pretty handy from time to time (e.g. checking to see if an important package requiring a signature is coming that day, so I can be home or arrange for someone else to be there).
Thank you!

They are hosted in the States, and I can't afford a CDN, unfortunately. But I made sure to split off the CSS and other assets so they could be cached. It seems to have helped.
I don’t mind this narrative and you’re true in most areas, but home ownership is so tightly correlated with generation OP’s comment in not incorrect.

At every age baby boomers were more likely to own a home than millennials at the same age.

The Wikipedia article handles it adequately, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WikiLeaks#Unredacted_cable_rel...

If you want a deeper dive, I'm sure something exists but I don't remember where it would be.
Probably the biggest red flag to me is anything that requires me to rapidly skim to get to their point. Good writing usually establishes their point early.
The format of the article is creative and I don’t like it. The use of movies seems to be trying to channel a16z with movies instead of hip hop quotes and it isn’t working.

If you're referring the prison, no one will take most the people there, that's probably why it "can't" be closed. They should be released if they haven't been convicted by now... The question is to where?
I think this is nonsense?

As far as I know there is zero evidence that wikileaks did not publish everything newsworthy that they were given regardless of who it helped or hindered.

Anyone have anything credible showing they suppressed anything ever?

From the perspective of someone whose site is a 12-year-old Wordpress installation on cheap hosting that she only does anything technical to when it's time to make a custom template for a new multi-year comics project, your website is a shimmering fractal of terrible ideas. Assembling a list of posts can be done with so much less work than this hyper-complicated machine you've made.

But then again a glance at your resume suggests you're probably making at least two orders of magnitude more money off of fooling around with tools for making enormously complicated websites than my broke ass is making off of drawing comics and furry porn, so what do I know? You've probably solved some big problems at work super fast because of dealing with the toy problems you've created for yourself with this Rube Goldberg machine of a website.
I didn't say a preference for systemd makes $SYSTEMD-USING-DISTRO a bad recommendation.
By your own definition this doesn't apply to Assange.

Simply dumping files on a website doesn't make you a journalist and US courts agree.
I agree with you and I'm a bit surprised that more people don't see the difference between what Manning and Snowden did and what Assange was up to (including apparently Snowden himself).

At the time, I was initially a person who thought that what Wikileaks was doing was a net good for the rule of law, but changed my mind when I learned about the selective nature of what they publish. The fact that they were playing politics, pushing conspiracy theories, and actively coordinating with the Trump campaign completely discredits any moral high-ground they had. You can say that what happened to him is unfair and that may even be true but Assange is no hero.

Definitely location dependent.

I estimate mine is about 50% USPS, 25% UPS, and 25% Amazon's own delivery service. The proportion that's Amazon-delivered has been increasing noticeably over the past year or two.
There's a puzzle in philosophy, where a philosopher points to a bear and says, "That's a bear". Except it's only a life-size cardboard cutout of a bear. But behind the cutout is a real bear. Is the philosopher speaking the truth when he points and says there's a bear there?

Steve Jobs is appropriately highly praised, but by many people who don't know why he should be praised -- to them he's like a movie sort of figure, Elon Musk in his post-Twitter phase, a larger-than-life jerk who says smart words and allegedly does things. But Jobs actually is that sort of genius that a lot of wannabes pretend to be. So is he highly praised? Is the philosopher telling the truth when he points to the fake bear, having confused it for a real one but not knowing there's a real one behind it?
Electric air taxi company chooses sleepy Bay Area city for new port
No other OS employs dark patterns to trick users into upgrading. Plenty of OSes have online accounts that the user is encouraged to use/create, but no other OS forces it. Plenty of other OSes have privacy settings tuned to opt-out, but no other OS has those settings sporadically resetting to the less private defaults. No other major OS runs ads in their app launcher.

Even in cases where other OSes do commonly misbehave, Microsoft puts them to shame. I think I had one popup about storing things on iCloud when I set up this MacBook. My Pixel phone rarely sends notifications about features I might have missed, but it's possible to shut those off with a single switch. But on my Windows laptop, Teams insists on launching in the foreground on every boot and OneDrive slides into my notification drawer on a daily basis.
I've studied Labanotation and Benesh movement notation, among others, some on my own and tried my hand at annotating social dancing with it and didn't find it to be particularly useful for social danced partnerwork in particular. For Choreographed dances, I am sure having a choreologist on staff would be a god send. However, for improvised social dances, I don't feel like the dance notations that I have seen capture the cues and signals the lead sends to the follower in a way that is adequate to be learned from later on. If you have any resources about this though I would love to read them!
Not sure why Aaron’s comment is dead, but he’s right - at least about taking photos of your trash.

Our local council has shown pictures of people putting styrene packaging in their green waste bin, and there was a case a while ago where an elderly woman was murdered and put into a bin for collection - the truck has footage of the bin being emptied, so they could narrow down where in landfill she might be.

Part of this is touched on in "Coddling".

Each generation is getting a different (worse?) experience as they are maturing several years later than previous generations. It's not just "public school bad"... quiet a lot of factors in play, especially at the collegiate level.

But lots of people disagree with the article and the book. But I found it made compelling, accurate arguments.
Such a self-centered point of view.

It is not a matter of being able to convey a meaning in your language. It is about the story behind what a phrase comes to be in another language. Because of semantic domains and history and culture and all that, the story that comes with it can certainly not representable in a translation.

To claim a language is perfectly fine to represent any concept and hence the use of any other language is some sort of negative trend, is to deny the richness in other cultures and histories, almost to the point of being racist.

The worst thing about this kind of people is their urge to feel obligated to share.
No, I want to review or tweak them, just in case it's trying to do something bad. It's usually pretty good though.
>Sounds so benign, but from the thread, I think it was pretty clear that we aren't just talking time. Some of the other examples used are really about "people so desperate they would do anything", which is also as you say not "bad", lives are "just something that could be bought and sold".

Hyperbole about equating selling your time to "lives [being] bought and sold" aside, I'm not sure what exactly the issue with such a trade is. Did the market cause such desperate circumstances in the first place? Would the people be better served by not being able to work for money, and (presumably) starve instead? Moreover, if you're upset at the prospect of having to trade a non-trivial proportion of your life in exchange for resources, shouldn't your displeasure be directed at the universe for having entropy (which all living beings must expend time/energy to fight against) in the first place?

Downvotes…I was being genuine here. I’m looking for buddies to hang out with.
I truly do not.

I understand the desire for justice, but I honestly don't even know what "justice" means when the actor involved is a state. This is, I think, one of the fundamental challenges of the modern world. We've gotten so good at building huge organizations of people (states, corporations, etc.) that can harness the efforts of thousands or millions of people.

But the result incredibly powerful entity has a diffusion of responsibility that confounds our notions of morality, right, wrong, and justice, which were all developed under the assumption that the primary actor is a person.
I think this is too vague for anyone to help you. Maybe post more specific details about what the problem is.
People don't make these posts to serve as cautionary tales for others, they're usually asking for help.
The original lambda calculus had no type system at all, it was just a term rewriting system of variables and lambda abstractions with two rules:
(\lambda a.M)N --> M[N/a]
(\lambda a.M a) --> M
In this sense we can say it is "dynamically typed" in that it has a single type, the type of lambda terms, although this seems like it sells short the memory safety guarantees associated to types in modern dynamically typed languages.

This is the system that comes to mind for me when I think of "lambda calculus" because it is the one that was most important in the history of computability and logic, it can express the same computable functions as Turing machines. System F is not Turing complete.
