Sure, in production you'd definitely want something like that, but the context was an interview exercise, I don't think you should go coding generic wrappers in that context.

There's an advantage to using in-app purchases when you doubt the developer, so either you think they're going to overcharge you or make it difficult to cancel. However this is not the case with Patreon

> advocating this is a likely outcome of creating spam generators is laughable

They're used as spam generators because they're cheap.

The quality in many fields is currently comparable to someone in the middle of a degree in that field, which makes the quoted comparison a bit like the time Pierre Curie stuck a lump of radium on their arm for ten hours to see what it would do. I can imagine him reacting "What's that you say? A small lump of rock in a test tube might give me aplastic anemia*? The idea is laughtable!", except he'd probably have said that in Polish or French.

Even the limits of current models, even if we are using those models to their greatest potential (we're probably not), isn't a safety guarantee: there is no upper bounds to how much harm can be done by putting an idiot in charge of things, and the Peter Principle applies to AI as well as humans, as we're already seeing AI being used for tasks they are inadequate to perform.

* he died from a horse drawn cart, Marie Curie developed aplastic anemia and he likely would have too if not for the other accident getting him first.

Bonus irony: the general idea he had in regards to this, to use radiation to treat cancer, is correct and currently in use. They just didn't know anything like enough to do that at the time.

I often have to use arm swinging and pronouced hip movement to get myself out of the wilderness faster/easier.

I have found it to be more efficient than mindless hiking/walking. I try to loosen my gaite and keep upright when I remember to.

Also, having done extensive Taibata, squats, weight lifting, and cycling. Nothing compared to hiking (often steep terrain) for conditioning. I'm strong from the inside out and it (strength) persists for much longer than other conditioning exercises. And it's crazy enjoyable. Cycling was enjoyable (and far more painful overall) but it guarantees nothing for core strength and will typically result in repetition injuries (years of experience MTB and road).
Health (including workout tracking), notifications, time, and weather - that's what I use my Apple Watch for. I know some cardiologists complain about false positives given by the watch, but I would argue that for guys, that's a good thing. If the watch gets a middle-aged male who hasn't been to the doctor several years to go get a checkup, that's likely a worthwhile intervention.

Ah, there it is! The "draw the rest of the fucking owl"
It is easy to generate mock implementation code (GoMock has mockgen, testify has mockery, etc.) The lack of a hand-rolled mock implementation doesn't mean that much. For example, many people do not like to put generated code under source control. So, just because you don't see a mock implementation right away doesn't mean one isn't meant to be there. Also, the original author of the function that consumed the apparently unnecessary interface type may have intended to test it, but not had the time to write the tests or generate the mocks. If we are going to be this pedantic, I did say "mockable" interface, implying the usefulness and possibility, but not necessarily existence, of a mock implementation.

Since we are examining code we can't see, we can only speak about it in the abstract. That means the discussion may be broader than just what one person contributes to it. If this offends you or the OP, that was not the intent, but in the spirit of constructive discussion, if you find my response so unhelpful, it is better to disregard it and move along than to repeat the same point over and over again.
What's worse is companies replacing their search with an AI chat bot. I noticed that on Amazon the other day—where there used to be a feature where you could search all the Q&As and all the reviews for a product, there's now a chatbot that seems to just be ChatGPT with the product description given as context (if you poke at it you can get it to talk about itself as ChatGPT, so I don't think it's an Amazon model). Completely worthless.

There's still a search for reviews, but I can't find one for Q&A or for both together.

Your position is ahistorical.

The Rust Belt exists (primarily) because the companies who owned all the big manufacturing in the late 20th century outsourced all of that labor to Asia.

The problem is that the Venn diagram of a) people who say things like "Financists" unironically and speak of a cabal of people with "usurary (sic) schemes" designed to bankrupt entire civilizations and b) actual, legitimate anti-Semites looks like a blurry circle unless you're right up against it.

It doesn't mean there aren't people in (a) who aren't anti-Semites and who have legitimate grievances. But they're virtually indistinguishable from the people shitposting (or worse let, legitimately posting) on /pol/.

What's a HN?
Good question. Yes there are a variety of ways that help.

1. If the team favors lightweight markdown, then add a markdown section for Threat Modeling and markdown links to references. Some teams favor doing this for more kinds of analysis, such as business analysis (e.g. SWOT) and environment analysis (e.g. PESTLE) and risk analysis (e.g. RAID).

2. If the team favors metrics systems, then consider trying a Jupyter notebook. I haven't personally tried this. Teams anecdotally tell me these can be excellent for showing probable effects.

3. If the team is required to use existing tooling such as tracking systems, such as for auditing and compliance, then consider writing the ADR within the tracking system and linking to it internally.

The main area that SponsorBlock blocks are the type of sponsor read that typically are recorded separated from the video. Those are never going to be safe again blocking and it likely that most companies that uses that kind of services knows this. They are low quality, low effect, and thus (likely) fairly cheap.

At the other end of the spectrum, we got paid content and sponsored gear. He who pays the piper calls the tune. It turns the issue to a balancing act where too much sponsored content will likely ruin the viewer ship (and artistic freedom/integrity/happiness/extra), but in turn it provide an income. SponsorBlock has no effect here, but naturally users may not click on paid content if they feel like it too much like an advertisement. The channel Linus Tech Tips have a few videos on this, and its a fairly common topic on their wan show.

>Sure many of us also do patreon etc but that’s never really sat right with me personally

Patreon is people explicitly and knowingly agreeing to give you money in exchange for a service they want. Why does forcing people to watch ads preferable to that? Maybe I am misunderstanding what you mean when you say it doesn't sit right with you, because that sounds like you don't like the concept. I can understand if it doesn't bring in enough, but it is by far the most honest transaction between you and your viewers. Whereas with ads, you make the viewer the product and that doesn't sit right with me.

It's so funny to me, this is normally read aloud as "security vulnerabilities disclosed after patching" but in reality this is a natural part of how software is made. You make compromises. Terrible ones. Security ones. In the beginning. Not always, but some places, some applications, some websites, some languages, sometimes you make some concessions for sake of simplicity or prototyping or proof-of-concept'ing that ends up making it all the way to prod. And then these "vulnerabilities" are really things that mean your company grew way faster than you anticipated, and lucky for you some ethical hackers "exploited" these concessions, first.
As someone 'in academia', I worry that tools like this fundamentally discard significant fractions of both the scientific process and why the process is structured that way.

The reason that we do research is not simply so that we can produce papers and hence amass knowledge in an abstract sense. A huge part of the academic world is training and building up hands-on institutional knowledge within the population so that we can expand the discovery space.

If I went back to cavemen and handed them a copy of _University Physics_, they wouldn't know what to do with it. Hell, if I went back to Isaac Newton, he would struggle. Never mind your average physicist in the 1600s! Both the community as a whole, and the people within it, don't learn by simply reading papers. We learn by building things, running our own experiments, figuring out how other context fits in, and discussing with colleagues. This is why it takes ~1/8th of a lifetime to go from the 'world standard' of knowledge (~high school education) to being a PhD.

I suppose the claim here is that, well, we can just replace all of those humans with AI (or 'augment' them), but there are two problems:

a) the current suite of models is nowhere near sophisticated enough to do that, and their architecture makes extracting novel ideas either very difficult or impossible, depending on who you ask, and;

b) every use-case of 'AI' in science that I have seen also removes that hands-on training and experience (e.g. Copilot, in my experience, leads to lower levels of understanding. If I can just tab-complete my N-body code, did I really gain the knowledge of building it?)

This is all without mentioning the fact that the papers that the model seems to have generated are garbage. As an editor of a journal, I would likely desk-reject them. As a reviewer, I would reject them. They contain very limited novel knowledge and, as expected, extremely limited citation to associated works.

This project is cool on its face, but I must be missing something here as I don't really see the point in it.

This is interesting, from the PSC, as a whole: ‘Resisting soft conduct moderation when people point out problematic statements in what has been said. When someone tells you something said earlier was problematic, listen. That is not an opportunity for debate. That is an expression of pain. It is time to stop and reflect upon what has happened.’

I genuinely find the PSC’s suspension of Mr. Peters to be problematic given my current understanding of the situation. Will they listen to my expression of pain? Will they stop and reflect on their actions, and on the repercussions of those actions on Mr. Peters, the Python community and the software community as a whole?

Or will they try to exclude me, as they have exclude Mr. Peters?

If bias plus power is a problem, who here has the power: the one suspended, or the ones suspending?
It's even worse than that. It's "bolt a chatbot on to your product, force it into people's workflow against their will, claim huge usage numbers on your quarterly result calls, stock price goes up".

Not profits, just stock price. The evidence that anybody who isn't "selling shovels" has made any significant money yet with AI remains thin.

I can't remember if it was Google or Facebook, but in the last earnings season one of them claimed directly that AI has improved their advertising revenue, but the improvement was not terribly out of line from what these companies have been doing for a while (not like suddenly they popped out a revenue triple, it was not obviously out of line with their normal reporting), and I wouldn't be surprised they were doing exactly what I said in my first paragraph. I did not find their claim terribly compelling, even if it was completely true and not just a sop to the stock market. Nobody else is even claiming that AI has increased profits.

I'm sure there's some startups with some profits, maybe even very exciting amounts of profit for a startup, but nothing that would move the needle for established companies. In fact we seem to already be in the consolidation phase for the industry, the startups are starting to go under. If we use that as a timer for where we are in the hype cycle, this is underperforming compared to other bubbles; at this point in the dot com crash, while the sector was heavily overinvested it was also quite obvious to a calm observer not panicking about their portfolio that there was definitely a there there, it just wasn't ready to sustain that much investment. There is so far a lot less there there with AI.

This hype is going to prove disastrous for the entire technology, I fear. If it was treated as a more normal technology, it would improve, it would be experimented with, companies would learn how to use it, failures would be shaken out and successes doubled down on, and in 3-10 years it would be a healthy industry making reliable, good money with a bright future for growth. But the way the stock market went absolutely ape shit, now the bar is, in roughly 6-12 months if AI has not quintupled the profit margin of all of the already-largest companies on Earth, it is a failure, and so are those companies. We've got a lot of people now with all the incentives in the world to blatently lie about their progress because as soon as they are truthful they become personally bankrupt as their stock options tank. Not because of any particular aspect of AI, except that it wasn't a miracle "drop it into any process instantly see quintupled profits", and I'm not inclined to be too annoyed at any technology for failing to be that. And it could take AI down with it. Again. I'd expect the resulting "AI winter" to be relatively short this time because the technology really is becoming promising, but the medium-term prospects for the tech are probably a lot dimmer than they theoretically should be because of this disproportionate frenzy.
When ignoring for a sec. the questionable 30% cut and duopoly: In the age of subscriptions, being able to see all your recurring payments on a single page and cancellable with two tabs without questions asked, is a feature worth paying for.

I'd really rather have time invested in making the memory footprint smaller again.
When I think of "AI" as a feature, I think

* Nondeterministic
* Untrustworthy
* Uncertain
* Marketing buzzword
* Gimmick
* Probably requires an external service or expensive hardware
* Probably collecting my data

Show HN: See the impact on your cloud costs as you code
Hey folks, my name is Owen and I recently started working at a startup (https://infracost.io/) that shows engineers how much their code changes are going to cost on the cloud before being deployed (in CI/CD like GitHub or GitLab). Previously,

I was one of the founders of tfsec (it scanned code for security issues). One of the things I learnt was if we catch issues early, i.e. when the engineer was typing their code, we save a bunch of time.

I was thinking … okay, why not build cloud costs into the code editor. Show the cloud cost impact of the code as the engineers are writing it.

So I spent some weekends and built one right into JetBrains - fully free - keep in mind it is new, might be buggy, so please let me know if you find issues. It is check it out: https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/24761-infracost

I recorded a video too, if you just want to see what it does:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgfkdmUNzEo

I'd love to get your feedback on this. I want to know if it is helpful, what other cool features we can add to it, and how can we make it better?

Final note - the extension calls our Cloud Pricing API, which holds 4 million prices from AWS, Azure and GCP, so no secrets, credentials etc are touched at all.

Boiling the downturn of one of the largest military contractors in the country down to "accountants" is a mass simplification. Boeing has 1000s of employees focused on regulation and oversight.

I think it's easy to say that as someone who wouldn't vote for them, but the Republican party faces the same problem as the Democratic party there. Many Republican and Democratic voters only choose their party because they think it's slightly better than the alternative. As someone who sits firmly on the left side of the aisle I'm strongly motivated to vote, not because the Democrats offer meaningful progress but because they're holding the line against political actions I see as abhorrent.
It's mainly just an early story thing. They eventually become too busy to have high school drama. Except sometimes they still have to go back to high school, though the stakes are so different and raised it's not really high school drama anymore.
