Yes, I thought this was already the agreed upon term for those in the know. I don't know what all this HN hullabaloo is about.
Not at all. Quite the opposite. To improve the situation you first need to understand it.

It seems to me that most devs don't understand the root problem, so they both don't understand, and don't constructively improve the current solution.

Improvement is not "leave me alone". Improvement is finding efficient ways to remove stress from higher-ups. Because stress rolls downhill.
But humans also hallucinate.

And humans habitually stray from the “truth” too. It’s always seemed to me that getting AI to be more accurate isn’t a math problem, it’s getting AI to “care” about what is true - aka better defining what truth is- aka what sources should be cited with what weights.

We can’t even keep humans in society from believing in the stupidest conspiracy theories. When humans get their knowledge from sources indiscriminately, they also parrot stupid shit that isn’t real.

Now enter Gödel’s incompleteness Theorem: there is no perfect tie between language and reality. Super interesting. But this isn’t the issue. Or at least it’s not more of an issue for robots than it is for humans.

If/when humans deliver “accurate” results in our dialogs, it’s because we’ve been trained to care about what is “accuracy” (as defined by society’s chosen sources)

Remember that AI “doesn’t live here.” It’s swimming in a mess of noisy context without guidance for what it should care about.

IMHO, as soon as we train AI to “care” at a basic level about what we culturally agree is “true” the hallucinations will diminish to be far smaller than the hallucinations of most humans.

I’m honestly not sure if that will be a good thing or the start of something horrifying.
I don't think it's remotely reasonable. The list you refer to, which I don't need to click on as I'm already familiar with it, is animals within the same family, e.g. bi cats.

Raccoons are not any type of feline, and this should be basic knowledge for any adult in any western country who grew up there and went to school.

Kanban lets you prioritize exactly the same way, except it doesn't have to fit into a sprint schedule. You also have to make good stories, which are independent, have a meaningful thing that gets delivered and are of a reasonable size. Then important bugs can get moved to the top of the to-do column, and get done quickly as possible without interrupting any in-progress work.

> Unfortunately most developed nations are generally willing to domesticate the foreign judgements of other developed nations. There are exceptions, e.g. the SPEECH ACT makes many UK defamation claims largely unenforceable in the US... but even if you think you'd be able to block enforcement in your own jurisdiction, if you are wrong you likely forfeit being able defend the claim on its merits.

I don't think this is true at all for the US, right? Not just because of the first amendment, but in general I don't think UK judgements are enforceable at all in the US. I wouldn't even think it would be enforceable in commonwealth countries.

Do you have any examples of UK judgements such as those we are discussing being enforced in any of the five eyes countries aside from the UK?
What's the point of that prediction? If I were a doctor, I'd give a more optimistic prediction too, if only to make patients feel better.
There are around 6000 waking hours in a year. A full-time job is 1/3 of that. Maybe managing your life is another 1/3. That still leaves 2000 hours, which is plenty for hobbies, vacations, doing silly things, and feeling bored.

Some people are busy because they need multiple jobs or have unexpected caretaker responsibilities. But many who feel busy are busy because they choose to be busy. They have made so many commitments that they are doing the time equivalent of living paycheck to paycheck.

The Pretty Person Problem [video]
I had the same experience with computational geometry.

Very good at giving a textbook answer ("give a Python/ Numpy function that returns the Voronoi diagram of set of 2d points").

Now, I ask for the Laguerre diagram, a variation that is not mentioned in textbooks, but very useful in practice. I can spend a lot of time spoon-feeding the answer, I just have the bullshiting student answers.

I tried other problems like numerical approximation, physics simulation, same experience.

I don't get the hype. Maybe it's good at giving variations of glue code ie. Stack Overflow meet autocomplete ? As a search tool it's bad because it's so confidently incorrect, you may be fooled by bad answers.

Anecdotal, but the only people I've met in the US with more than one middle name are people who originally came from another country.

Although, I wonder if maybe that is enforced by the fact tha legal forms and similar typically assume you only have first, last, and optionally a (single) middle name.
Ah these look so much nicer, thanks! OpenSCAD's willful disregard for the entire CAD industry's well established parametric modelling paradigm always annoyed me.

I agree that there is value even for very experienced users. A good example of this is how expert C/C++ programmers still make mistakes with memory management -- memory safe languages benefits beginners and experts equally in this case.

I personally setup linters/formatters/other static analysis for solo projects, even for languages I know very well.

This one specific thing, is actually something that ChatGPT can help with.

It's not as good as the best human, or even a middling human with 5 year's business experience, but rather it's useful because it's good enough at so many different domains that it can be used to clarify thoughts and explain the boundaries of the possible — Google Translate for business jargon, though like Google Translate it is also still often wrong — the ultimate "jack of all trades, master of none".
You are defending that asking more money for your children not to be alone is ok ?

In most companies, when you don’t book specific seats, the algorithm puts you alongside your children anyway.
> But still, is it ever the right thing to ignore that an invariant is violated and just hope that things somehow work out?

Yes! Of course! In many situations it probably doesn't matter that the numbers go a little wrong, and that result will be better than crashing. In other situations it will be better to crash than to give junk results. As we already said, it depends on the situation.
This isn't even close. Cars globally emit 4x as much CO2 as the global fleet.

No. Australia's national money laundering assessment [0] is not virtue signalling as a cover for racism. There's a history of money laundering for terrorism, child exploitation, slavery, and drug trafficking. There's also a history of arrests, and government task force projects to try and change that.

This isn't about indefinite communication loss. Obviously no progress is possible in that case. The two generals' problem has nothing to do with a permanent failure.

> Typing is one of the most annoying things about having long nails.

I frequently have long nails because I don't like clipping them. I once had a girl complain to me that she couldn't get her nails to grow as long, if she tried, as I grew mine through neglect.

Typing barely registers. The only difference is that you get more clicking sounds than otherwise. The most annoying thing, by far, is that you need to approach a phone touchscreen with the side of your finger instead of the tip. The second most annoying thing is that sometimes something goes wrong and a part of the environment will encounter and tear or break your nail.
Human brains are also just picking tokens tho. A beautiful illusion of insight and thought in the chaos noise of information. But out of the chaos, the emergence of thought is real. It’s just not exclusive to humans.

I mean… even magicians (mentalists) can reliably hack humans into generating the next token they want you to generate.

Look as a guy, who could care less about societal standards of beauty (mine or anyone elses) I feel under qualified to comment on the beauty choices of others.

But I can say I felt the decision tree explanation in the article was unconvincing. Reviewers need long nails because photos? Because to some demographic long nails "look better". (Personally I think long nails look bad, but that's maybe just me.)

I felt like the author like long nails. They're clearly invested in long nails. That should be enough to like or dislike the product. They should have to justify their desire for long nails. (Justifing it suggests they know it has disadvantages.)

I concur that conforming to beauty standards in a world that both presents them as standards, then designs away from those standards consumes more energy than I have to expend.

If I understand his three groups correctly, he’s basically saying that one of the big bottlenecks is that nobody is looking full time.

The best jobs themselves have a regional bias.

That's why Baruch has Ivy level representation in IB and High Finance, and SJSU plus CalPoly SLO has Stanford level representation in the tech industry at large.

Just looking at the Linkedins of the most successful EMs, PMs, and SEs in my network, most attended a normal state flagship and worked at an "OK" company like Oracle or Splunk.

This whole "FAANG"-or-bust or "Ivy"-or-bust mentality is legitimately divorced from reality, especially now that the market is legitimately horrid for new college grads.

> It took me a decade before I made it to a first class job

What do you define as a "first class job"? Where was your first job located? Were you open to moving to a major tech employment hub (eg. Bay Area, Seattle, Austin, NYC)? Did you start your career during a tech slowdown (eg. 01-04, 08-12, 20-21, 23-present)?

"Meh" companies like Oracle or Cisco pay early-to-mid career employees roughly the same as similarly leveled employees at Google or Amazon.

The main thing is, these employees need to be based in the Bay Area, Seattle, or Austin to justify those salaries.

And if you start your career during a hiring slowdown, it doesn't matter if you went to Stanford or SJSU - you're screwed. I'm already seeing the desperation right now at on-campus recruiting events at Harvard/MIT as well as at regional publics.
Surely you're exaggerating about a one hour standup?
That’s a really good line and I’d love to read a blog post that distills to it. But this ain’t it.

It's common for lower-class Chinese men to have one long nail. I tend to assume the reason isn't drugs, but I don't know what it is.

I was annoyed once when I stumbled upon an advice column named "Ask a Chinese Girl", and someone had written in asking what that one long nail was about, and the official answer was "What? That sounds dirty, it's definitely not something Chinese people would do."

You can easily observe that they do do it by walking around outside. So weak support, I guess, for the drugs theory, but I still tend to suspect it's a cultural thing.

My problem with spreadsheets is the 2D sheet aspect.

I still think Excel is the shining example of malleable software, one of the only user programmable apps that is a true app, not just a crappy programming language.

But I never understood the appeal of the 2D layout.

I'd rather have something like VB, where you can link controls to an expression that queries a real SQLite style table, with a generic premade table editor (Like Datasette's editing stuff).

But then again, I don't generally directly work with lots of data and only touch a spreadsheet or CSV monthly or so

Definitely not all. Our current best estimates put the figure of (amount of security vulnerabilities due to memory safety errors) / (total amount of security vulnerabilities) at 50-70%.

People will still be making logic errors & authentication errors (e.g. insecure direct object reference) in Rust code for decades to come, to name just a few. Why? Because people make mistakes.
I'm not sure what you mean by people creating problems for themselves out of a thin air. The article explains the constraints (speed, accuracy, comfort, avoiding online criticism, attractiveness, etc) that the author lives with. Did you intend to point at a more general situation that you've encountered?

I too cannot fathom what goes on in many people's heads and do not claim to truly understand them, but so far it's not been because they've created problems for themselves out of thin air and insisted on keeping these problems as pets.
I do like the point about lack of experience hiring leading to bad hires.

In "Endurance", there's a short note on how shackleton hired crew members for his expedition. Seemingly on a whim and a 5 minute chat. I interpreted that as deep experience of his area combined with a keen sense of judging people. They combined to work magic. That kind of thing takes a lot of time.
I don't see what's dumb about it. It seems like blacklisting is the digital equivalent of "I don't want to do business with criminals" - I wouldn't knowingly buy anything from a thief, or from a store that knows some of its suppliers are thieves. If law enforcement has seized the property and auctioned it, then the criminals aren't profiting, so I don't mind.

I've used this idea to speed up AST parsing: https://github.com/z7zmey/php-parser/issues/21

By just reducing cost of doing allocations (but still allocating the same number of structs) on some of the hot paths it sped up making of the AST tree by 1.5x

If you can use this approach for the entire parser I imagine the gains would be much more significant
You never had a SCRUM meeting.
I would completely agree with this if it said "All Cook and no Woz". I say this because I think it is unfair to label Jobs along the line of all the other MBA spreadsheet CEO's. Jobs actually had a talent for products. Woz and other brilliant engineers may have build these things, but Jobs had a talent for picking the right products, the right packages and the right timing that I don't think anyone else in Tech has ever really been capable of copying. I think that tech will always be full of Woz type people, but without Jobs it's going to be hard to get those products out there. I see a lot of it in Solar energy and Farming tech where a lot of brilliant things are being build, but a lot of it remains relatively small scale because nobody knows how to sell it.

I think you could also make the case for saying that the industry is full of Zuckerbergs (maybe Sam Altmans in a few years), but I'm not sure the advertisement industry is really all that related to tech. I know it may not be the most popular thing to say, but is there really that much of a difference between selling Tobacco, Coca Cola, Search Engines or Social Media? All are popular products which haven't really changed the world for the better.
The name caught my attention and made me laugh, so it's a good short term name, but long term perhaps something like "gems" or "pearls". Something elevating.

We do, but that doesn't help you much if e.g. they have two computer systems plugged into the same double socket outlet and you want to seize both of them without powering them off, or you fear that the computer system plugged into one socket will react badly to the loss of power of whatever device is plugged into the other one alongside it. Almost all of our sockets are also switched, so you're playing with fire every time you put your hands on it -- you might knock the switch and kill the power to that socket just by trying to take it off of the wall.
