What you're describing is a low hiring bar. Low hiring bars make sense for companies that pay low to average salaries, or don't require particularly deep technical skills. But it's an awful strategy if you're trying to filter for exceptional talent and willing to pay top dollar.
That's probably the best we can do for now with LLMs. Surely it would be unreasonable for LLMs to provide a correct answer when the majority of people on various forums also provide the wrong answer. Some day LLMs will be able to objectively provide truthful statements but we're not there yet. Regardless, that LLMs are competing with longstanding programmers is already an impressive feat, even if they're not 100% correct.
It's not the people living under these rules that think they're fair. It's the capital owning executive class trying to control everything in their favor, regardless of the outcome on their workers lives. Well them and their judge friends in Texas apparently.
My understanding of their comment is that the source is made available immediately. It’s just that you need to pay for a license to use it for the first couple years.
Strong disagreement!

Sure, there is some correlation between talking and doing, but I've worked with people who talk like geniuses and code like crap. And also the opposite.

For some skills, there is just no substitute for actually have people actually demonstrate using them.
Sure, comprehensibility is the terminal goal—but size reduction is relevant because it’s an easily measured, decently predictive proxy for that. No, code-golfing 3 lines down to one doesn’t help, but the bigger size differences are always of the “composition over XYZ” variety that change the entire complexity class of how much code you need to write (like React letting people write O(states) rendering code instead of O(transitions)).

Maybe it had something to do with the opensource builds being nigh-unusably restricted, turning away anyone who might be interested. Or the confusion that you created between the OSS and freeware builds giving a bad taste.
I've been using (GitHub) Copilot and ChatGPT since they've been widely available. I started using ChatGPT for coding after 4 came out.

I was an early advocate for Copilot but, honestly, nowadays I really don't find it that useful, compared to GPT-4o via ChatGPT.

ChatGPT not being directly integrated into my editor turns out to be an advantage. The problem with Copilot is it gets in the way. It's too easy to unintentionally insert a line or block completion that isn't what you want, or is out and out garbage, and it's constantly shoving up suggestions as I type, which can be distracting. It's particularly irritating when I'm trying to read or understand a piece of code, or maybe do a refactor, and I leave my caret in one position for half a second too long, and suddenly it's ghost-inserted a block of code as a suggestion that's moved half of what I'm reading down the screen and now I have to find my place again.

Whereas, with ChatGPT being separate, it operates at a much less intrusive cadence, and only responds when I ask it too, which turns out to be much more useful and productive.

I'm seriously considering binning of my Copilot subscription as a result.

> Isn't this basically also true of exercise? Running is great for you, but it puts a strain on the cartilage

Well, exercise and running are not synonymous. A lot of people who are very active avoid running for the reasons you mentioned, and don’t require knee replacements.
Perhaps the voting machines could make their source available; and include some signature that would hopefully allow a voter to verify the source they looked at was that which was running.

Paper ballots do seem to be simpler.
I love this book: https://www.amazon.com/Be-More-Sausage-Lifelong-lessons/dp/0... it's a great description of how sausage dogs can teach us life lessons. Highly recommended if you know a dachshund.

I use llms exactly and exclusively for the first two cases - just write comments like:

// map this object array to extract data, and use reduce to update the hasher

And let llms do the rest. I rarely find my self back to the browser - 80% of the time they spit out a completely acceptable solution, and for the rest 20% at least the function/method is correct. Saved me much time from context switching.

Teachers are under immense pressure, GPT allows a teacher to generate extension questions for gifted students or differentiate for less capable students, all on the fly. It can create CBT material tailored to a class or even an individual student. It's an extremely useful tool for capable teachers.

You need them to express a type constraint that’s generic for all monads. I might have gone a bit too far saying monads would be impossible without HKTs, but a single Monad type class would be, and you lose a lot of the power of monads if you don’t have that.

There was no hybrid or remote work pre-COVID? On what planet was that?

I respect the desire to have an in-office company. He’s right, there’s nothing wrong with that. I have much less respect for hiring hundreds of people and then suddenly changing the rules, or for implying remote workers won’t “go the full mile” (whatever that is).
Same here. I pushed my team to use ChatGPT instead of fearing it. But one of my ex employees who used to write substandard tickets still wrote substandard tickets with ChatGPT (I had asked him to get advice from ChatGPT on what makes for effective tickets). The only difference was that they had perfect punctuation and grammar, and were 5x more verbose.

Like any tool, if you don’t know what you’re asking for, the result will suffer.

That's a nice luxury to have. I take it you're fortunate enough to live in a very temperate area with palatable weather year-round, rather than somewhere that gets 110° F in the summer, or ice storms in the winter?

Not everyone can afford to live on the beautiful, comfortable, and exorbitantly expensive cities along the west coast.

A few weeks ago I got the chance to check out the Google Calendar API for the first time and was very impressed how thorough it is.

- Very easy to retrieve incremental changes to events on a calendar

- Webhooks to be notified when calendars are created, updated, or removed

- Webhooks to be notified when events are added, updated, or removed on a calendar

- Bulk requests

- Select only the fields you need from the event

- Querying events in a calendar with custom properties (I use this so I don’t need to store anything on my side)

Funnily enough to build a sync between my personal calendar and work calendar, and for my wife and I to have a combined calendar for our own personal commitments. I also feed in a few calendars I subscribe to for sporting events to our shared calendar. $100 a year was a bit much for a feature that should be in Google Calendar already. I named it Don’t Double Book Me, felt appropriate.

I only started exploring the Google Calendar API recently after realizing that Reclaim’s policy allows Enterprise customers to take over other individual paying accounts associated with the Enterprise, effectively making it not really my Reclaim account anymore. Didn’t help I wasn’t notified of this either.
The problem is the planning is the same everywhere. People who like walkable cities don't have a choice but to buy a car. It would be nice to have some areas where residential and non-industrial businesses are more mixed to lessen the amount of driving.
There's both culture and technical elements to consider in a potential hire. I don't think anyone would contest that vetting for the culture/drive of a candidate is important. But I do think the demonstration of skills is a necessary part of technical hiring, at least for non-senior positions.
> I don't care for popular people so, in fact, my bias might be the other direction

It's not about someone being popular and you saying it just makes me more certain you don't realize the trap. People can have well honed social skills and not act like your standard popularity contest wining politician.
Houston is currently planning its fifth loop. They already have four, and they need a fifth, which mean converting many more square miles of marshland into pavement. Meanwhile there are hundreds of square miles of abandoned real estate in the middle of the city. It's cheaper to just buy and build new than the tear down the old building first. And they can't figure out why each hurricane season is more destructive than the last .... huh. I grew up in Houston and I hated it. I refuse to even visit family there now.
Thanks, I’ve been looking for something like this.
I quite like the information side bar on the right hand side of the Civilization 6 game. You get a long queue of icons indicating some result/status/notification. You can hover the mouse over them or click on them to get more information. The icons will be gone in the next turn or later depending on how relevant they are to the current game play. They are for historic information and semi-transient.

Games can be the epitome of good UI feedback.

During these situations, a prompt message can be very reassuring for users, for example:

As a user, I can rule out that the issue is at my end. I can focus on other things and I won't add to the stack of emails.

This is one of my biggest frustrations with AWS being slow to update their status page during interruptions. I can spend much of the intervening time frantically debugging my software, only to discover the issue is at their end.
Oh, that's really interesting. I still use Node for everything and haven't really given Deno a shot, but I'm someone who prefers to stay away from bleeding edge things until they become battle-tested.

Could you say more about this? Were they technical or behavioral interviews?
I think if you make the key a subdomain and you run the dns server for that domain it should be possible to make it work

ie:

secret.attacker-domain.com will end up asking the dns for attacker-domain.com about secret.attacker-domain.com, and that dns server can log the secret and return an ip
Uh huh. Just like all the other apps doing exactly that, many of which have many more installs than Procreate.

I'm not sure where you're getting the idea that Apple doesn't allow this. There's overwhelming evidence that they do.
> The tokens could be patterns of colored shapes with no actual meaning, only statistical distributions and nothing about how the LLMs work would change.

I can put your brain in a vat and stimulate your sensory neurons with a statistical distribution with no actual meaning, and nothing about how your brain works would change either.

The LLM and your brain would attempt to interpret meaning with referent from training, and both would be confused at the information-free stimuli. Because during "training" in both cases, the stimuli received from the environment is structured and meaningful.

So what's your point?

By the way, pretty sure a neuroscientist with 20 years of ML experience has a deeper understanding of what "meaning" is than you do. Not to mention, your response reveals a significant ignorance of unresolved philosophical problems (hard problem of consciousness, what even is meaning) which you then use to incorrectly assume a foregone conclusion that whatever consciousness/meaning/reasoning is, LLMs must not have it.

I'm partial to doubting LLMs as they are now have the magic sauce, but it's more that we don't actually know enough to say otherwise, so why state that we do know?

We can't even say we know our own brains.

I’ve been doing RLHF and adjacent work for 6 months. The model responses across a wide array of subject matter are surface level. Logical reasoning, mathematics, step by step, summarization, extraction, generation. It’s the kind of output the average C student is doing.

We specifically don’t do programming prompts/responses nor advanced college to PHD level stuff, but it’s really mediocre at this level and these subject areas. Programming might be another story, I can’t speak to that.

All I can go off is my experience but it’s not been great. I’m willing to be wrong.

As a SQL non-expert, I think this is why we are averse to joins, because it’s easy to end up with more rows in the result than you intended, and it’s not always clear how to verify you haven’t ended up in this scenario.
