Neurodiverse people tend to think more in the abstract relative to neurotypical individuals (this could be a lengthy analysis and discussion of itself). When working with chatbots at a more abstract level, one may be more likely to leave with a satisfactory result—be it a solution to a question/problem or just the conversation itself. Perhaps that is the dynamic of what you have witnessed and described in this post. I don't think there is anything else useful one could infer beyond that.

> Going a step beyond: are we, in the grand timeline of civilization, uniquely evolved to fuse with this new type of intelligence?

I've seen this notion claimed and sometimes phrased like above in ND circles and forums. It would imply that neurodivergent individuals are evolutionarily relevant, and hence have higher importance (superiority) over neurotypical individuals. That would be elitist. It can parallel arguments made by, say, in the grand timeline of civilization, a racist who could think that a particular skin color is superior or a sexist who could think that men are superior to women and that each has to fulfill specific roles.

To argue that something has evolved to develop certain features, there has to be evidence that the population was facing (possibly survival) difficulties in the environment being studied, that said features are observed increasingly in the population over time, and that those adaptations helped and improved the lives of that population. There is no such evidence to support the claim.

Neurodivergence is not new. It has been recorded throughout history in various ways—one example [0]. ADHD, ASD, and anything else that falls into the ND space has existed for a long time. It's only in recent history, as psychiatry and relevant practices grew and developed that neurodivergent conditions were reclassified repeatedly, to the point now where these conditions and behaviors are being seen as part of/under one umbrella of neurodivergence.

Looking at his website I see the gimbal being described as supporting up to 24mm engines. That corresponds to a standard D size engine and by my long-ago memory that burn looked reasonable for a D motor except the rocket was way too heavy for a safe launch (normal rockets rely on fins, they must get going fast enough while still riding the launch rail that they'll stay straight)--I'm sure he was staying well back!

The landing burn seemed weaker--I wouldn't be surprised if that was a C, or perhaps even a high thrust B.

Anecdotally, I'm pretty sure they keep a long memory and can recognize people like corvids are known to do - I used to work near the beach, and a particular seagull would fly up to me, and only me, for a period of about 2 years because I would give him food scraps. Never did it for any of my other coworkers. Was always amazed by that.

GitHub is slowly prioritizing social features over developer tools and experience. The number of devs concerned with GitHub Stars these days is a little concerning. I feel like at least once a week, I see a post on HN asking for ways to boost their stars on their GitHub repos.
It's not "internal analytics", because a) 90% of the data was former customers and b) it has location data but timestamps were removed, so it's social-graph information plus location. Start asking yourself what sorts of end-users want to pay for the entire social-graph of 77m, regardless whether those customers never make a phone call again.

"Alternate credit scoring, hyper-targeted marketing and more... an emerging trend of companies building partnerships with telecoms to power use cases across multiple industries." was the blurb for the unit Snowflake specially set up for Telco data in early 2023 touting "location data", but this product is not aimed at the telco's use-case; coincidentally this was also around the time Snowflake was touting integration with GenAI.

(It's not "competitor analysis" either, because if it was they would have obscured the 68m former phone numbers to prevent abuse by direct-marketing.)

I don't think they are blaming react specifically. It is more that for them, it dawned that it might due to a rewrite when they remembered reading the front-end was rewritten in react.
The red team would beach them then wait years before telling them?

The goal the the red team should be to increase security. Waiting years before telling them means there's a years-long delay before security can be improved. That goes against the goal.
Yesterday I needed to make a simple GUI app for a specific purpose. I haven't done it in a while so I figured it would take some time, but just to try, I drew a picture of the interface I had in mind and told 4o to generate a PyQt5 app for me, and it ... did it. Still took a bit of back and forth for some details but damn if it didn't get me from A to B way faster than if I'd been sitting there figuring out VBoxLayout etc again from scratch after several years. I was impressed.
I don't really intend to bicker, but I'm a little curious about the thinking here..

Maybe it's getting too philosophical, but if you're correct because of "wildly guessing".. you're still correct. Maybe you've only been correct 2% of the time with your predictions, but that doesn't change being right or wrong in any given instance.

If someone says "it will do A" and you say "no it won't, you're passing off sci-fi as prognostication", and then it does end up doing "A", you were wrong? No? If someone's AI tech does end up "changing the future" then how would you not be incorrect if you had previously said it was vaporware?
We'll see, but hopefully they will not.

Any tips on how I can use it more? Right now, my AI experience has been limited to asking ChatGPT questions, which it makes up incorrect answers to. And making some funky rap songs. And trying to avoid seemingly AI created videos on Youtube. Is there a setup where I can describe a motion that I want, and it will synthesize a mechanical linkage that will accomplish the task?
I like rails myself, not knocking that. Prob well past due for a SPA like experience though. So much of the UI is so antiquated. The fact that very basic things in a PR are hidden beneath a disclosure menu when there is more than enough room to put it in-line without the menu is frustrating. Like simply editing the description of a PR requires 2 clicks when it could easily be 1. Everthing feels bolted-on or shoehorned in. Like marking a PR as a draft ... it took me forever to find that the first time.

> Software is too complex to be secure without a massive team IMO.

We could do better as an industry though. Modern operating system design makes it far too easy to shoot yourself in the foot.

Imagine a world where all we all use memory-safe/null-safe/type-safe languages, applications and data are strictly sandboxed, access to data is only granted using capabilities-based security, application-level security patches are automatically applied by the OS, data was always encrypted while at rest and while in transit, and passwords are completely replaced with passkeys / smartcards (for users) and X.509 certificates (for servers). While this isn't a panacea, it would solve a great number of the most common security vulnerabilities.

Each of these pieces exist individually. There's no reason why we can't have all of these things today, other than support for legacy applications and retraining engineers. However, it's nearly impossible to get away from legacy software needs.

But if you want low hanging fruit... stop writing C/C++, and get rid of passwords. These are the biggest flaws in the stack.

I know. The fact that CMYK printing (or halftoning generally) uses dots implies a sort of hybrid system. "What appears as cerulean is actually a blend of cyan, magenta, yellow and black, as magnification under a microscope demonstrates." Well, the magnification shows overlapping dots, and the result appears as stippling in yellow, green, red, cyan, and black (and white between dots).

I don't think CMY crayons (or paints) would work, although the idea is entertaining. Maybe I'm wrong and it all hinges on obtaining a good magenta, which would then mix with yellow to give red and mix with cyan to give dark blue. This is apparently the case with printer inks, but it blows my finger-painting toddler mind, and I still think trying this out with a magenta crayon will lead to disappointment. (I'm going to look and see if I've got one, but I think they aren't usually sold. I'd probably have to paint with inks to try it.)

Edit: found some suitable-looking water-soluble crayons, did my best to mix blue and red via approximate magenta, cyan, and yellow, got lavender and peach. Too approximate.

Sometimes I think we need a new kind of organization for these kinds of things.

On the one hand, for people to work on it a lot, they need to be paid. Otherwise, they will be paid to do something else. So that would seem to indicate we need a corporation.

On the other hand, for it not to fall prey to the unfortunate expansion-stagnation-collapse life cycle of social products, it would seem it needs to be steered for the benefit of the world and the users. A corporation really cannot do that: a corporation is motivated by the interests of the people owning it and the people working there. While these interests frequently coincide with the interests of the people using whatever the corporation sells, there are also frequent failures to coincide which, when we consider something that is effectively infrastructure or a public good, is a problem.

Maybe a workable solution requires two organizations: a non-profit that supervises a corporation.

this breach is of course appalling. But nearly as appalling is the experience of _explaining why this matters_ to non-technical friends who stare at you with blank, distracted eyes, but only for a second; for their phone (yes, the very phone that just exposed them to uncountable future ills) has chimed.

I have nearly given up; like smoking, it will be decades before the harms are understood. We have to wait for your neighbour's brother to have died in a targetted political killing, because someone didn't like his Substack and borrowed the number and likeness of a friend; for his daughter's credit score to have been crushed by an anti-abortioneer who borrowed her face and likeness and number knew her first-grade teacher; for his son to die a death of despair, after making the wrong friends, and getting doxxed along with the rest of them.

This should be a five-foot headline moment. But no; CNN will lead with Biden-mumbles or Trump-grumbles.

How is it that the things that are killing us --- inequality, climate change, privacy collapse -- all have this same shape? Hamlets, all of us.

As someone who used GitHub for years (2009-2014), got acquired into a big tech company for 8 years, so I didn't get to use it much, and then got to go back to a startup that used it again, it feels like a totally different product. It's a starkly different offering from that perspective.

GitHub Actions are a major part of that. Codespaces, a solution for Mac CI, that you automate so much, store secrets, drive not CI but CD straight from GitHub now, etc. It's evolved a ton. Then you have the other things they are doing as company with copilot and vscode (and formerly atom).

Sure, code search is only moderately better, and maybe some of the core git features aren't getting as much razzle-dazzle in the UI, but it's evolved a ton.
This isn't an individual issue, this is an organizational systemic issue. It isn't on the individual to "do better" or not make mistakes. Even if they had made a PAT, there should be an org level policy that PAT tokens can only last x-days where x is very short (as an example, PAT tokens should be banned).
I meant legal in the allowed by the sport’s governing body sense, not the will the cops show up at my door sense.

If this is what athletes do to get to the top of the sport, then it soon becomes a pseudo requirement. If the sport regulators don’t clamp down on it then they’re basically forcing people to do something insanely risky if they want to compete.

Plenty of professional sports have banned things for simply being too dangerous even if they do give an edge.

The argument is density. Things tend to be cheaper per capita, when density is high.

I don't buy it thought. I think the reason why the spend is less in Europe is due to higher salary equality - good people take job in government because the salary is only 50% higher in private sector (for tech, even less for other areas).

> If someone's AI tech does end up "changing the future" then how would you not be incorrect if you had previously said it was vaporware?

"This product is vaporware" doesn't mean "This product is impossible and can never come to fruition." Vaporware is "software or hardware that has been advertised but is not yet available to buy, either because it is only a concept or because it is still being written or designed."

It doesn't matter even slightly if Altman and Huffington's app will materialize and change the universe; it's still vaporware. It's just what the word means.
It's rare to need to work at this level of optimization, but this is a really neat trick!

Modern cores are quite wide - capable of running 6-8 instructions at once, as long as there are no dependencies. Something as simple and common as a summation loop can often be sped up 2-4x by simply having multiple accumulators that you then combine after the loop body; this lets the processor "run ahead" without loop carried dependencies and execute multiple accumulations each cycle.

This technique is similar in concept, but even more general. Put the "guess" in the registers and run with it, relying on a second instruction within a branch to correct the guess if its wrong. Assuming your guess is overwhelmingly accurate... this lets you unlock the width of modern cores in code that otherwise wouldn't present a lot of ILP!

Clever.
I agree, and I wish GitHub could continue to be one of those instead of what ms is turning it into.
I think this movement around 'debunking AI' is entirely the fault of marketing and company CEOs inflating the potential around generative AI to such ridiculous amounts. Of course after CEOs toured the country shouting about the dangers and virtues of AI as if it will destroy the world or remake it into something better, and that it will do it any minute now, everyone is 'annoyed' now that neither thing has happened already. How long ago were people screaming and crying that AI development must be slowed down by world governments or else?

Similar tone in this YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8ByoAt5gCA

I say 'annoyed' with quotes, because as far as I can tell it's largely journalists and the media machine that seem to be taking a gleeful lap telling everyone how AI hasn't measured up after promoting the idea that AI will steal all their jobs and ruin the internet.

I think that's the fun part of some of these perspectives, that inherent conflict, that journalists want to convince us that AI is very dangerous technology and that it's stealing all their work and it's going to put everyone out of a job... but also AI is not living up to expectations and it's a nothing burger and all these companies are a joke selling lies to people. It's really hard square these conflicting storylines being served to us by the press (who are obviously biased against the technology that they think will destroy their livelihoods).

I hate to sound like one of those "you can't just journalism!" cranks, because I feel that way about nothing else, but in this case sometimes the vitriol coming from journalists about AI related technologies seems a bit much.

Laws related to data breaches need to have much sharper teeth. Companies are going to do the bare minimum when it comes to securing data as long as breaches have almost no real consequences. Maybe pierce the corporate veil and criminally prosecute those whose negligence made this possible. Maybe have fines that are so massive that company leadership and stockholders face real consequences.

I find GitHub to broadly be ok.

One exception I have is for code reviews, arguably its most important usecase. Once there’s a little back and forth going on and a few rounds of things being fixed it becomes really hard to find a list of the comments. Maybe I’m just missing it somewhere but spread in the conversation tab it’s impossible to find things.
