In my case (Experience with Azure Development), I definitely would use cloud infrastructure. Cloud providers abstract a lot of difficult things away, have ok-ish documentation and have a UI where I can easily find relevant information or do some debugging. With tooling I have more experience with I move away from the UI, but it's so easy just to get something up and running. The difficult thing is not getting each of these individual tools up and running, but handling the interactions between them and unfortunately I don't feel comfortable enough to do Networking, SSL, Postgres, Redis, VM management and building / hosting containers at the same time.

Costs in my case is not the highest priority: I can spend a month learning the ins and outs of a new tool, or can spend a few days learning the basics and host a managed version on a cloud provider. The cloud costs for applications at my scale are basically nothing compared to developer costs and time. In combination with LLMs who know a lot about the APIs of the large cloud providers, this allows me to focus on building a product instead of maintenance.

This is just arguing over phrasing. It doesn’t matter what you’re trying to do, if you’re making YouTube videos, or music, or paintings, or cakes, or web apps, or cleaning diveways, your ability to succeed boils down to your ability to provide something other people want. That is the objective source of your merit.

Perhaps your own idea of success in life is something that revolves exclusively around your own satisfaction, like going off and living in the woods. But this is exactly the same situation, you’re just only trying to provide the things that one person wants in that scenario, yourself. Your ability to do this will again come down to your own merit.

Of course if you’re chronically frustrated by being less successful than you would like to be, then looking for alternative explanations such as luck will be an attractive scapegoat that could excuse you from scrutinising your own capabilities. But the human inclination towards doing that is certainly not morally righteous.
I literally just gave you an example of one it can't solve, despite having a vast knowledge of mechanical and aeronautical subjects. All the examples are obviously in its training set.

Here is another better example - none of these models can create a better ML accelerator despite having a wide array of electrical and computer engineering knowledge. If they did, OpenAI would pretty much be printing their own chips like Google does.
Excuse my harshness but people doing it needlessly is just unprofessional waste and abuse.

Some people seem to have no concern with the needs and timetables of the would be customers but instead burn through cash building fancy nonsense.

It's like going in to a car mechanic for tires and then finding out it took 3 weeks because the guy wanted to put on low rider hydraulics and spinner hubcaps for his personal enrichment.

The worst part is it's inherently ambiguous to the next people. They don't know if the reason something is there is because it's needed or because it's just shiny bling.
That documentary sounds great, thanks! I hope they cover the remastering process, as I expect the challenges of using 90s 3D data formats on modern computers are nothing to sneeze at.
> The AI effect occurs when onlookers discount the behavior of an artificial intelligence program as not "real" intelligence.[1]

> Author Pamela McCorduck writes: "It's part of the history of the field of artificial intelligence that every time somebody figured out how to make a computer do something—play good checkers, solve simple but relatively informal problems—there was a chorus of critics to say, 'that's not thinking'."[2] Researcher Rodney Brooks complains: "Every time we figure out a piece of it, it stops being magical; we say, 'Oh, that's just a computation.'"[3]

It shouldn't be on Signal and co to stop operating in the EU, it should be on its citizens to stop operating the EU.

Ask HN: Can Klarna Replace Salesforce and Workday with AI?
In the past couple of weeks there has been a lot of media coverage of Klarna CEO Sebastian Siemiatkowski's comment that the company is shutting down its Salesforce and Workday instances by leveraging "a combination of AI, standardization, and simplification".

The details are unclear and Klarna reference a "lightweight" tech stack rather than a complete move away from SaaS solutions, but do people feel it is possible to move away from these enterprise solutions or is this just marketing fluff from a company to justify large scale headcount reductions without spooking the market?
It's crazy that it just tries to bruteforce it by picking numbers, and in your case it took more steps before concluding a success/failure, which seems quite to be random to me, or at least dependent on something.

What's clear is that it doesn't have any idea about mathematical deduction and induction – a real chain-of-thought which kids learn in 5th grade.

>governments can simply print physical cash.

That's still addressing the question of cash flow: Making the cash coming in meet or exceed the cash going out by printing more cash to go out.

The various means to effect cash flow might be different, but national and household budgets are fundamentally the same.

>What would happen in that squeeze? Interest rates and taxes will slowly go up and the economy will stagnate.

Yes, are we prepared? I don't think so. Also, we can probably do something about that to reverse course or at the very least dampen the grief. Are we doing something, though? Again, I don't think so.

>I think the obvious answer is that lenders will indicate with their buying habits when they disapprove of the debt,

In the interests of pre-emptive preventative measures, because those are always cheaper and easier than cleaning the room after the shit has hit the fan, are we doing something better than doing nothing?

Locals mostly don't swim in the swan/canning estuary because it's full of jellyfish[1]. The water quality is fine but ... ewww.

They're not particularly harmful ones but you don't want to get any part of them in your eye.

I have heard, though can't substantiate, that the mass jellyfish population (and there really are swarms of them) is down to the ecosystem having been basically plundered to extinction, and jellies having colonised. I guess in time things that eat jellies will become more prevalent and eventually a more normal ecosystem may return. The jellies appear to be introduced from the queensland area, and may have arrived in ships ballast.

Also yeah, poor woman, jumped in to swim with the dolphins and one of them wasn't a dolphin. Bull sharks have been seen fairly far upriver too. Rather take my chances in the sea.

> Getting 96% to vote to go on strike pretty much says that company offer is complete garbage. You probably can't get 96 out of 100 people to agree that the sky is blue.

People can vote the same way without agreeing with each other. Some of them could think it's a bad offer, the others could think the company has bankruptcy immunity because the government will bail them out so they might as well hold out for more even when the company makes a reasonable offer.

> And while I wish that things were a bit more fact heavy, sometimes the sticking point is something really arcane and non-obvious to outsiders (on-call requirements, for example).

This isn't an excuse for not providing the explanation. What should happen in this case is that you get a longer article because there is more context to unpack.
Come on. Of course chatgpt has read that riddle and the answer 1000 times already.
The original battery tech uses some sort of legendary toxic battery that is no longer permitted due to hazardous chemical regulations.

Alkaline button batteries used to contain mercury, which has been phased out in the last 20-25 years. The original Voyager line used 3 x LR44 (alkaline), but even then you could have replaced them with their less toxic silver-oxide equivalents. Today's LR44 cells are mercury-free.

Later iterations of HP12C use 2 x CR2032, not because of any concerns about toxicity -- the 2032s were equally toxic -- but, I suspect, because the original battery controller was all custom HP silicon in some funky semi-analog process, which couldn't survive when HP, along with the rest of the industry, fully succumbed to cost-cutting disease. Everything possible in the new calculators if off-the-shelf.
I’m sure there are countless other benefits. But how many layers of abstraction, services and things that need configuring are their compared to basic RAID to get support for magical hard disks that can be yoinked without affecting workloads?

It all stems from the fact that it just talks English.

It's understandably hard to not be implicitly biased towards talking to it in a natural way and expecting natural interactions and assumptions when the whole point of the experience is that the model talks in a natural language!

Luckily humans are intelligent too and the more you use this tool the more you'll figure out how to talk to it in a fruitful way.

The 'riddle':
A woman and her son are in a car accident. The woman is sadly killed. The boy is rushed to hospital. When the doctor sees the boy he says "I can't operate on this child, he is my son". How is this possible?

GPT Answer: The doctor is the boy's mother

Real Answer: Boy = Son, Woman = Mother (and her son), Doctor = Father (he says...he is my son)

This is not in fact a riddle (though presented as one) and the answer given is not in any sense brilliant. This is a failure of the model on a very basic question, not a win.

It's non deterministic so might sometimes answer correctly and sometimes incorrectly. It will also accept corrections on any point, even when it is right, unlike a thinking being when they are sure on facts.

LLMs are very interesting and a huge milestone, but generative AI is the best label for them - they generate statistically likely text, which is convincing but often inaccurate and it has no real sense of correct or incorrect, needs more work and it's unclear if this approach will ever get to general AI. Interesting work though and I hope they keep trying.

You're getting downvoted but I don't think you're getting the benefit of understanding the disagreements. The benefit of visitor is for when you need multiple different TreeNode classes with different aspects, either different member variables or different methods/implementations themselves. In that case, the unused child ptrs are the smaller of the class modeling difficulties. For example, if you had a single base TreeNode class with the enum, after switching on the enum you need to explicitly downcast to the type. The dual-dispatch approach bakes this into the visit-accept protocol.

The last time I worked on a complex syntax tree structure, I used the approach you suggested because _editing_ a Visitor suite is a pain in the rear. Only terms that had special payload data (numbers, pointers to metadata objects, etc.) need downcasting.

The amount of technology in a Metcal to make it work as well as it does, justifying its $1,000 sticker price back when I did that kind of stuff, makes it far from dumb! The rest of the market has caught up, but back when it was released, Metcals were highly sought after! It does this induction heating thing with the Curie point which makes for a very good soldering iron.

Then blame the board imo. They define the objectives for the CEO, the incentives for achieving them, and the governance framework for governing their execution. If shareholders want this “short term thinking” that always gets brought up, then they have every right to it.

Of course this “short term thinking” trope is just a meme that the armchair commentators like to pedal out. If the system was dysfunctional enough to prioritise short term profit seeking to this extent, then all a competitor would have to do to monopolise any market is do enough “long term thinking” to outlast all their failing competitors. Investors would notice this and reallocate their capital accordingly.

But none of this is what happens in reality. If anything I would say the market is over-interested in long term strategies. The popularity of the growth over profit model that we observe amongst most prolific capital allocators takes “long term thinking” to absurd lengths.

Yes exactly, all intelligences should be treated with respect IMO, and humans would very quickly realise that if they found themselves confronted with more advanced intelligences.

Human chauvinism (like many other forms of chauvinism) is based on an assumption of superiority.
Visitors let you do both. That said, I have used visitor a lot and it never was in a context where lambdas would have helped. There wasn't any variability in the code path such that I might have different implementations of a function at different times, and as the Visitor would have some state in it (an accumulator, a set of config variables, etc.) composing those as lambdas and dispatching to them seems like it would have been less convenient.
I had somewhat of a similar feeling when I saw "ready" being used as a verb to mean prepare. I'm non-native though; I may be wrong of course.

This is an interesting one because math is doing so much of the heavy lifting. And symbolic math has a far smaller representational space than numerical math.

There is one other wonderful thing about symbolic math, the glorious '=' sign. It's structured everywhere from top-to-bottom, left-to-right, which is amenable to the next token prediction behavior and multi-attention heads of transformer based LLMs.

My guess is that problem statement formation into an equation is as difficult of a problem for these as actually running through the equations. However, having taken the Physics GRE, and knowing they try for parity of difficulty between years (even though they normalize it), the problems are fairly standard and have permutations of a problem type between the years.

This is not to diminish how cool this is, just that standardized tests do have an element of predictability to them. I find this result actually neat though; it's an actual qualitative improvement over non-CoT LLMs, even if things like Mathematica can do the steps more reliably post problem formation. I think that judiciously used, this is a valuable feature.

I like this but one of the issues with this approach is if no Docker images like traditional configuration management tool, you are going for a world of pain.
Docker and Docker images have tons of best practices already defined for plenty of use cases. If it's already containerized; then, jumping to any orchestrator that supports OCI images is more about adjusting the business to a new set of operations.
