Reliability is much more possible than it was 1-2 years ago.

There was an article early on I'm trying to find that said the direction of attention was counter-intuitive this time around.

Some of this is in the weeds, but those who have kept up actively trying to use the AI for 12-18 months are often saying and seeing different things because they know what capabilities have arrived while some of us hang on to the understanding from the last time we might have looked at something.

Where I think I see things differently both in what I've been able to show and deliver, is the application of this technology does need to come before, or right along with development of it. This has largely been overlooked so far

Learning how to use something new and pretty different requires trying to use it, see what it can do reliably, and what it's improving at, and helping organizations with $ to fund something they need.

The big one still, is that something that's not possible today, has to be looked at more through a lens of not if, but when. The when has been happening much quicker.

They can get much closer to working well 100% of the time.

Often by not using them at each step, or not wanting a magic wand to figure it all out.

Human labor replacement isn't anything new. Anything simple or repetitive technology in general (including LLMs) will make a dent.

The applications for natural language, or not are quite valid. I had someone in academia approach me for designing a guide to help grade in the personalized style of a professor. The irony was there's ways to do it without LLM that might equal what is posisble today, but what they were asking for was valid.

One of the big issues that's improving is not just API "reliability", but the cost of running things per request off API, or reasonably running som eor part of it locally.

Why are lambda expressions so-called?
The idea of lambda expressions comes from a model of computation invented by the American mathematician Alonzo Church, in which the Greek letter lambda represents functional abstraction. But why that particular letter? Church seems to have liked to tease: asked about his choice, his usual explanation involved accidents of typesetting, but in later years he had an alternative answer: “Eeny, meeny, miny, moe.”

The death of a thousand round trips has an inverse where the reviewer points out everything they can find, and then the author fix just one thing. You might think the author is motivated to minimize round trips, but maybe they will pull the reverse ransom note next where they threatens to find a different reviewer or subvert the code review somehow, because "it's an emergency and the patch needs to go in now".
If you are tempted to fall asleep or distract yourself while driving, you are not an experienced driver. Part of the experience one needs to gain as a driver is how to keep the necessary focus for driving, or at the very least, recognizing that maintaining that focus is impossible and therefore not driving.

If driving the appropriate speed is difficult for you to do undistracted, then you need to find ways to improve your driving skills instead of blaming the law for saying that you're a bad driver.

Fair enough but I'm not sure you're even going to realize if you're listening to AI generated music or not. One way of using these tools is to take lyrics and create several different melodies and vocal styles. An artist or a professional songwriter could do this and then either record their own version or pay musicians to perform it. That could be any combination of simply re-recording the vocal track, replacing or adding instrument tracks, making small modifications to some of the AI generated tracks, etc. The song can then be released under the name of the singer who can also go on tour in the flesh. You might also just come across a 100% AI song on a streaming platform and enjoy it and add it to a playlist. Who vets all of the music they listen to anyways? and if the producer manages the web presence of the "band" and provides a website it would withstand a cursory search. You'd have to look closely to determine that there are no human band members other than the producer. For the types of electronic music that aren't usually performed live and are solely attributed to one artist it might be impossible to tell. The line would be especially blurry there anyways due to the current extensive use of samples and non-AI automation.

There are a lot more fuzzy edges too, you can use AI tools to "autotune" your own voice into a completely different one. You can tap out a quick melody on a keyboard and then extend, embellish and transform it into a full song. You could even do the full song yourself first and then remix it using AI.

The point I agree on would be that one-click hits are going to be few and far between for a while at least. If no effort is put into selecting the best then it's really just random chance. I'd be willing to bet that there will be an indie smash hit song created by a single person who doesn't perform any of the vocals or instruments within a year though. It'll get no play time on anything controlled by the industry titans but people will be streaming it regardless.

> Wait for the developer to fix those, and then drop your bombshell: there’s a much more fundamental problem with the patch, that needs a chunk of it to be completely rewritten – which means throwing away a lot of the nitpick fixes you’ve already made the developer do in that part of the patch.

I've done this more than once, and felt pretty bad about it each time. The problem is that I'm pretty good at spotting the little issues while I'm reading through some code. But I'm not as good at identifying the larger design issues until I'm thinking about it later

Authorization libraries can be useful but often fall short in key areas. They typically lack fine-grained access control, limiting their ability to handle complex permissions. Casbin does provide RBAC and ABAC but as far as I know they don't support ReBAC.

Libraries was designed to operate directly on an application’s existing data structures without imposing a standardized model for how that data should be organized.

Direct interaction with diverse data structures can lead to inefficiencies and performance bottlenecks. Without a standardized model, the library might not optimize data access and manipulation as effectively as it could with a uniform data structure.

Additionally, they struggle in microservices architectures, creating challenges in maintaining consistent security policies across services. In a microservices architecture, each service might require access to the authorization library, but replicating this library across services can lead to maintenance, synchronization, and consistency challenges.
Yes:

At least two ways:

1) install into separate disk partitions, setup boot loader to allow you to select a given one at boot time.

2) install one on the system as the main install, install VirtualBox into the main install. Create, and install into, as many virtual machines as you like.
Wait, your commits are hundreds of lines, or your MRs/PRs?
I like to keep commits as atomic as I can, not always succeeding, but often cutting commits to leave the repo in working state after a commit. Very rarely commits become 100 lines of changes. Perhaps those are variable renamings of things that are used in many many places? Or perhaps some wip commit, just making sure work is commited at the end of the working hours?

A single pass often cannot work, if there is a single improvement to be made, since that implementation of the improvement needs to be reviewed again, unless it is already literally a suggestion of code by the reviewer.

24% is quite significant indeed.

It is arguable the 22% caused by open car doors is also negligence on the cyclist's part. Riding that fast and that close to doors that may or may not suddenly open without warning is negligent. It would be akin to a lane-splitting motorcyclist failing to anticipate someone might change lanes without warning during heavy traffic.
I'd wager it was an issue with the language of choice (or its GC) being rather poorly made performance-wise or a design that does not respect how GC works in the first place :)
I don't have experience with Texas but there are plenty of interchanges as you describe in California. Sometimes you even see momentarily more lanes just before and after an at-grade intersection.

While more permanent lanes seems more desirable, for lack of space or money or whatever, this compromise at least increases the capacity of the ramp to absorb the queue before it starts to back up into through traffic.

Of course, in practice the capacity is often not enough.
This is not a new problem.

> Perhaps you bring in a CEO who has a 90% chance of tripling the company’s revenue/growth and a 10% chance of leading the company to failure.

I realize these are hypothetical numbers, but they're so clearly backwards. It's more like a 10% chance for tripling the growth with a 90% chance of failure, and even that is being optimistic.
I think it is a trap to assume that communication skills and technical skills are mutually exclusive. In fact, many of the best engineers I've ever know were _also_ some of the best at communicating their ideas.

Granted, dysfunctional orgs, particularly large ones, will always end up promoting the sort of person I think you have in mind -- those who talk a great game, play politics, but don't really ship. That is an organizational and culture problem, though, and doesn't mean you should ignore your "soft" skills.
Code reviews can significantly sped up by pair programming a lot!

When you wrote the code together, a lot of these doesn't even come up, because you discussed everything already. Sometimes after pair programming, even no code review is needed!

Interesting. Anything you've automated successfully that you can share? I've heard so many times that you should hold off on automating too early because constant pivoting and refining can end up making you spend more time fixing the automation than actually doing the work itself, so I kinda paused on it. I can see how it would make a big impact on my marketing outreach, which I'm doing manually right now with not much success.
> Baltimore, MD, USA, spends more per student [1] than almost any other city in the country, and nothing changes. Oh well actually, there is a lot of corruption in the city council and I think over half of the past few mayors have been arrested on criminal charges.

I'm not connected to Maryland, but is there a reason, other than history that the school board is appointed by the mayor and not elected? Everywhere I've lived, school districts have been independent from the cities they operate in, and supervised by a state education organization and perhaps mildly supervised by the county board of supervisors in the counties they operate in (or city councils when operating in cities that are counties). Then you could have corrupt city governance without necessarily having corrupt school governance; although you could still have both if that's what your local electorate chooses.
Debatable.

I have seen "senior" people hired from outside that do not make the same level of contributions as some one who is less senior by title and has years of tenure at their current position.

This is super common bc many companies would rather hire from outside instead of promoting from within. Also why there is so much turn over (engineers last for like 2-4 years then move on).
I wonder if there is something that could be done on language design level to have better "sympathy" to memory allocation, i.e. built upon having mmap/munmap as primitives instead of malloc/free; where language patterns are built around allocating pages instead of arbitrarily sized objects. Probably not practical for general high-level languages, but for e.g. embedded or high-performance stuff might make sense?
I'd agree if blockchains didn't also fork based on disagreements of the next block.

I actually think it would have an astonishingly high effect. It would reduce the number of cars on the road without proper maintenance, which would generally correlate with drivers who don't care enough to prioritize their vehicle's condition (and therefore other's safety).

The second order effect might be very strong.

That being said, this will never happen because in America without a car you (avg. american) lose nearly all your ability to contribute to the economy and navigate your surroundings. We can barely align on taking licenses away from people who kill pedestrians in direct fault accidents [1]

This is a direct result of patchwork prohibition laws. If psilocin/psilocybin were legal nationwide and well-regulated, it could be provided in a variety of forms with high purity, real quality control guarantees, and accessible independent third-party testing.
