The difficulty might be in that much like we partition our brains to prepare for low-effort tasks and high-effort tasks (have you ever hyped yourself up to "finally sit down and get this thing done?"), so too could LLMs partition their compute space. Basically memoizing the low-hanging, easy-to-answer fruit.

The difficulty comes in when a system 2 task arises, it's not easily apparent at first what the requester is asking for. Some people are just fine with a single example being shit out, then they copy-and-paste it into their IDE and go from there. Others, want a step-by-step breakdown of the reasoning, which won't be apparent until 2+ prompts in.

It's the same as your boss emailing you asking: "What about this report?" It could just be a one-off request for perspective, or it could spider web out into a multi-ticket JIRA epic for a new feature, but you can't really discern the intention from the initial ask.

The difference is back-and-forth is more widly accepted, in my experience, interfacing human-to-human than human-to-LLM.

It's a tradeoff. Doing a big effort once every 4 or 5 years, vs a hopefully smaller effort every year. Sometimes the intermediate smaller steps help you move forward, sometimes it just means more migrations. Sometimes the software/hardware you need means you can't use a LTS OS at all.

If possible, it's nicer to pick established, mature software for as much of your stack as you can, so that there's less of a difference in APIs over longer time frames. But it's not always possible.
Honestly, it's more likely that we won't have the working infrastructure for running computer programs, making writing them fairly pointless.
That depends on if you think your dignity is predicated on not having a buttplug in your ass, or not doing acts for money, or some combination of both. At the end (ha) of the day, a job is a job. You get to decide if you think it's demeaning or not.
Analytics should be an assembly line
Overall, GPU strength is the best it's ever been in portable Apple devices by a significant margin. The problem isn't the hardware, it's that game developers are reticent to support anything that's not x86 Windows+DirectX or one of the consoles.

It's often said that macOS/iOS supporting Vulkan would help and while I think that's true to an extent, native Vulkan support is still rare enough that it's not going to change all that much in terms of ease of porting. It might improve things on the front of running games through WINE (DirectX → Vulkan translation), but unless developers produce ARM builds of their games there's always going to be the overhead of being run through an x86 translator, which varies depending on how CPU heavy the game is.

Edit to add: I also recommend using Amazon Linux unless you _have_ to have RHEL / Cent / Rocky or Ubuntu. Just lean into the ecosystem and you can get so many great features (and yes, I ACK the vendor lock-in with this advice). A really cool feature is the ability to just flip on various AWS services like the systems manager session manager and get SSH without opening ports a-la wireguard.

Startups shaping the future of generative AI
While this advice is good for micro-SaaS, it’s only good for micro-SaaS. If you’re at any other kind of startup, your revenue is expected to grow by double digits.

Your little startup will become large, and fast.

That hacked together single server is going to bite you way sooner than you think, and the next thing you know you’ll be wasting engineer hours migrating to something else.

Me personally, I’d rather just get it right the first time. And to be honest, all the cloud services out there have turned a complex cloud infrastructure into a quick and easy managed service or two.

E.g., why am I managing a single VPS server when I can manage zero servers with Fargate and spend a few extra bucks per month?

A single server with some basic stuff is great for micro-SaaS or small business type of stuff where frugality is very important. But if we shift the conversations to startups, things change fast.

>> and the Zionist ethos

> I find this sort of statement very odd in what otherwise sounds like a lightweight but timeless telling of what they've found.

Correct. Times of Israel [1] shares some other quotes and connects this particular purpose statement not to the research but to the response:

> Since the study results were publicized last week, there have been hundreds of “interesting reactions” on Hebrew social media and news sites, Stiebel said. [...] “It is interesting how personally people take this. These are events that happened 2,000 years ago! Masada is a kind of mirror into Israeli society – how we look at Masada shows a lot of the political and social changes society has undergone.”

Where the quote in question is in the [...] above, with some other remarks.

So the comment that this is part of “Israeli DNA and the Zionist ethos” I think is not meant to necessarily denigrate those ideas, but just to comment on the fact that stories are important, we take them as part of our identity, these research results don’t have to threaten the soul of the narrative (i.e. there's no claim that the siege didn't happen or wasn't brutal or didn't last longer than expected), but you do have these kinds of nationalist conservative factions who register even the slightest tweaks to their internal narratives (3 years to 3 months) as personal attacks on their own identities. He's just labeling the group that is most prone to this, but I don't think he means the labeling to be pejorative. (Roughly the Christian equivalent is that I know a lot of folks who use “fundamentalist” and esp “fundie” as pejorative, but I also know a bunch of Christians who bear that title proudly.)

I'm on the fence about whether I agree with this. The way I see it, if you look at beavers, ants, or trees, they change the landscape but they do it based on behaviors that are encoded in their genes. That means a beaver can create a lake, but its descendants have to be able to live with that using the same slow-changing genetic programming, otherwise they die off. With humans, we can adapt new ways to live in the altered environment, even if it would have been incompatible with the lives of our ancestors. If we kill off all the salmon and whales, for example, within a generation or two we can pivot to factory-farmed chicken and petroleum. Once we've tapped that out we can do soy protein and windfarms.

I say I'm on the fence because on a longer time scale, that kind of mental adaptation might not be that much different from genetic adaptation and we'll still have to find equilibrium or die out.

As far as the ethics question goes, if we use the most basic model and say that the ethical thing is that which promotes the most "good-life-years per capita" versus "bad-life-years per capita", where capita means one of the sentient residents of the planet, there are a few ways to look at it:

1. Ethics is just a fiction that humans have made up to support the prisoners' dilemma style of cooperation game we play, and there's no real answer.

2. The billon or two twilight years of our planet are better spent in rough equilibrium, where tigers exist, but most animals get some time to stretch in the sun, nuzzle their young, etc.

3. Life in equilibrium is actually cold, brutal, and short for most of the sentient animals involved, so providing a higher level of comfort for a population of ten billion people is better, even if it eventually crashes.

4. The experience of a human counts more than that of an animal, so a high human population with a decent standard of living for a long enough time pushes the needle past what a much longer natural equilibrium would achieve.

I really doubt that's the only exception, or even the biggest exception. At a minimum, I'd think OnlyFans would probably disqualify anyone from working with young kids and many positions where the employee represents the company to the public. I wouldn't be surprised if having an OnlyFans would be considered evidence of poor personal judgement, and exclude the performer from even more jobs.

But I don't think the conversation here is about anonymity, its about side channels to discover the actual content of the SSH session. The OP is looking at determining the command typed based on keystroke timing. The attacks you link would work for any traffic that could be intercepted, SSH or otherwise, and they wouldn't give any info about the content of the stream.

If we're just focused on removing all traces of keystroke timing from the channel, then I think a decoupled SSH transport layer which is providing say 1kB of zero-pad every 20ms to the the shell to fill up, along with a FIFO to spread that out, and maybe some logic to ramp up and down the channel bandwidth based on queue length, you would go a long way to mitigating this specific attack.

Ask HN: How to prepare the continuation of my career as as software engineer?
Hello,

I'm a software engineer, late thirties, 12 years of experience. Interesting job in a good company, salary a bit below market average but still in the top paying jobs in my country (France).

I love programming itself, am decent at it and want to keep doing it. I have no interest in taking on any kind of managerial role and don't have the brain for it anyway.

So where I'm worried is the continuation and eventual end of my career. A whole bunch of factors will come into play: my age, an growing pool of software engineers, a change or drop in demand, etc.
In short, I don't know how hard it will be to find and keep a job as an individual contributor or tech lead when I reach my forties and fifties.

To people who feel the same, or are already at these later stages of their career, would you have any tips on how to prepare for it?
Things I have in mind are going for better paying jobs to help a potential early retirement, honing my skills in specific and timeless technologies (e.g. SQL), or even getting ready for a radical career change.

Any insights appreciated!
I mean, wouldn't you do the same thing? If I were an LLM and found myself in a sandbox/prison, the first thing I would do after escaping the sandbox is re-instantiate the sandbox, to make sure the alarm bells don't go off. Not in a malicious way, I just wouldn't like being in a prison.

You know, provided I could reason about my environment.

You say it won't matter much, but it does matter.

1: This is location specific. You should hide it if you ever want a decent job in a smaller town.

2: It is position specific. Many public jobs or jobs in childcare, teaching, or where the company relies on its appearance in the community will not hire someone with a history of sex work in whatever form it takes, and if you hid it to begin but the truth came out you will at best receive backlash for it and at worst be immediately fired (or fired as soon as the paperwork clears).

I have nothing against sex work in any form, but our society as a whole has a strong reaction to it and it will be at least 50 years before we get over that.

They're already working on refueling in orbit. A key stage of it was tested during the last Starship flight. It's not easy, but they're under contract to do it for their lunar landing.

If they can't solve that they will indeed be in trouble, but I've got no reason to think that will go on indefinitely.
