Thanks ! I've thought about making an "education" project but it takes time, and after 9 months of working on it I'm now convinced it's possible to build a basic Gmaps alternative in a few years. Business model still missing though !

Edit : just watched some minutes, he's rebuilding low-level components, like route finding. Impressive stuff but not quite user-friendly.
And in many cases the entire org chart has been built around the first draft. It's psychologically hard for developers and for people paying the bills to throw stuff away, so we often dig in our heals and accept the first solution that works, along with the tech debt and resulting pain.

Now the drum I keep beating is - software process needs a design phase. You need some plan, some coherent vision of the architecture, otherwise you get a system held together with duct tape and prayers.

Agile made it fashionable to sprint ahead without any coherent plan.

Waterfall obsessed about the plan and failed to adapt to new circumstances.

There has to be somewhere in the middle where a design is subject to empirical testing. We have to change the design based on results of running real code. In other words, when the first draft doesn't work quite right, you don't ignore it (Agile) or try to shoehorn it into the existing design (Waterfall) - you change the design and try again. "Throwing stuff away" could be reframed as the scientific method. This needs to be normalized as a part of the process so we remove the stigma of "failed" experiments, which are not failures but valuable sources of information that improve the final product.

Can you explain what you mean by: "The other, just as valid solution, is to simply improve `Answer 1` and have `Corrected Answer` = `Answer 1`."

Isn't improving "Answer 1" the whole point?

Your write-up makes it sound like "Answer 1" an input but an output from the LLM?

Two questions:

1) What's your biggest uncertainty around AI capabilities in the future, 3-5 year timeframe?

2) How are you planning around the uncertainty? (And are you a founder or an engineer or something else)

Amazing how the replies to my initial comment range from angrily calling me an idiot for saying something so obviously and egregiously wrong, to claiming it is so trivial and obvious that I should not have needed to mention it.

> The solution isn't less literacy.

Indeed, I can see how what I wrote could be taken that way, I also don't think so. The problem is combining an inadequate amount of literacy, with an almost religious belief in its absolute correctness, e.g. scientism.

>Arizona-based startup AskRadar.ai sells Maxwell, which leverages ChatGPT and its own software to take the emotional temperature of a workforce in Slack channels—if we’re generally happy or hate our jobs. Maxwell anonymizes the data and only analyzes public channels, Chief Executive Nils Bunde says.

This is a terrible idea but unsurprising. Expect neurodivergent and other people who don’t meet the AI’s definition of sufficiently performative of happiness to be punished.

> You say that as if your child won't hear about these topics from their peers. Some of whom will have lesbian or gay parents. Some of whom will be trans. All you're doing is making your child work off hearsay instead of accurate information.

Yes. She will likely hear about God from peers with religious parents. Are you suggesting I teach her the Bible so she gets "accurate information"?

Part of my job as a father is helping her develop her intellectual stance on "hearsay".

> Really? Then why are you dressing them in stereotypically girl clothing, calling them "her", and exposing them to the heterosexual relationship between you and your wife?

Because as a father I have to make choices on her behalf, with her well being in mind. And I am heterosexual, so that is the sort of environment she is exposed to.

> Exposing a child to something doesn't make them that thing.

Absolutely, she will be gradually exposed to many things and situations as she grows. All things in due time.

> It means they won't feel like they're broken or wrong or hated. Suicide is a very real problem for children encouraged to remain in the closet.

There will, unavoidably, come a time when she will come to understand her own sexuality, how she views her body, etc and so forth. Typically this happens at around puberty, at least that is how it worked for basically everyone I know, myself included. She will have my full support no matter her choices. Until then my role is to help her develop the best way I can.

> Exposing children to information is how they learn. It's better if the information is accurate.

It's also important that the information comes at a proper age.

> Apparently only if it matches your definition of who "she" is, or after you feel that "she" is "old enough" (whatever TF that means).

Right now it has to match my definition of who she is, because she can't meaningfully make any choices on her own. She can't even choose what brand of baby formula I give her, much less what pronoums I use to refer to her in the third person. Your sarcastic quotation marks do very little to support your rationale.

And I made it clear what I mean by "old enough". Some subjects are complex, and demand a certain level of maturity to be properly tackled.

An AI Call to Arms
Who is your target market? I've certainly always wanted a product that lets me cut the realtor out of the loop. When I bought my house, it seemed if anything the realtor just got in the way. I had picked out the house on Zillow, and really just needed to see it once and put in an offer.

Then of course the realtor wants you to look at houses they represent (as a comp), and also introduce you to their inspector/mortgage/lawyer friends. It seems like the incentives just aren't aligned at all.

I imagine a lot of people in the tech scene feel the same. i.e. would love a "buy now" button that skips all the people steps. But I wonder how much that sentiment is shared by the broader real estate market.
Yeah the only actual numbers (and the most damning) in the article say that they promised 5% and delivered less than 1%.

That said, it really would have been nice if they'd linked directly to the reports and documents they used as sources. They list their sources as: The NW Natural 2023 Annual Renewable Natural Gas Compliance Report, Oregon Senate Bill 98 (2019), and the 2022 NW Natural Integrated Resource Plan.
This article is about Slack and the like, which has replaced much of the communication that people do at work. So, it is necessary to complain about work “online” if one wants to complain at all.

Tech Success in Your 20s – Adapt or Die
As best I can tell, this surgery center is charging 2x to 4x the price for breast reconstruction as other centers ($42k per claim per the article). Yes, it's an advanced center with new techniques, but are they really providing an extra $20k-$30k in value? I don't know the answer to that, just posting the numbers because it's not a matter of a small difference in pricing.
A bit of truth in both your statements. Productivity increases are usually due to investments in equipment and training, and employers are keen to recoup this cost.

So the employees have to demand a share in increased wages. This may not happen. It is absolutely not automatic. No employer turns over increased profits to the employee (well not usually.)

So what has happened during our lifetime is that jobs have been exported to lower wage markets, since the employer reasons that they can invest in higher productivity in a cheaper job market and pocket the difference.
It is certainly not processing under your control. You don't do anything with the data - none of your computers are involved, you never see or read or copy anyone's data whatsoever. The data subject is processing their own data, using a tool they perhaps don't understand (if the source code is unavailable, for example). The user is at liberty to start or stop the processing at any time.

I don't even think this would apply in the pathological case where a bug in the app causes the personal data to be leaked. You didn't leak it, the user did.

HTML parsing is the modern-ish layer-uplifted example of liberal acceptance.

I won't argue that this hasn't been a disaster for technologists, but there are many arguments that this was core to the success of HTML and consequently the web.

If I understand your question correctly: I'm against stigmatization because I believe it unnecessarily causes more suffering for the person dealing with suicidal thoughts. It shuns them and may cause them to land in a mental institution or getting arrested with both of those having cascading negative effects.

Essentially, if we remove the stigma and update legislation to reflect that, then people experiencing suicidal thoughts won't fear repercussions for merely thinking about, or exploring options around suicide.

> 90%, maybe 93%, of project managers, could probably disappear tomorrow to either no effect or a net gain in efficiency.

This is more a statement on how many bad project managers there are rather than on the role itself being useless. I've worked as an IC with a lot of PM's over the course of my career - I can definitely bring to mind a few PM's that left a huge impression on the project I was working on. I can think of many more that were completely worthless. I think the latter group makes developers think the role itself is useless, which I could not disagree more with. Developers are absolutely terrible at balancing business and customer priorities with technical ones, and the worst part is, many of them believe they aren't bad at that.

No, it says: "You are granted the right to Modify the software for private use only. You may make, run, and propagate Covered works that you do not Convey, without conditions, so long as your License otherwise remains in force."

It's clear they don't want you distributing modified versions. The thing people are getting caught up on is "You may not create, maintain, or distribute a forked version of the software." They fail to define "forked" but they don't seem to have meant an undistributed modification.
Basically it helps with really generic stuff, but writing generic stuff isn't my job. I have access to windows copilot pro (basically ChatGPT 4 Turbo/ 4o depending of the time of the day) as a tester, and github copilot as a user, i can say without hesitation that ChatGPT is sightly better to write comments, but both are bad to do anything harder than writing HTML forms, at least from scratch.

They _are_ a great rubber duck though, today i had a concurrency issue and asked windows copilot for solutions. It was wrong, but gave me an idea, basically saving me at least 45 minutes. Github copilot is a great autocomplete, saving me some time too, but i don't think it can make me twice as effective as a coder. 20%? Maybe 40% if i take into account the fact that it generate really good test cases (that i still have to read)?

But coding is like 25 percent of my job, database/object design and software architecture are like 30%, network security another 25%, and the rest is meetings/coordination, so all in all, i don't think you can halve teams because you give them good genAI

I think a better piece of advice would be: Ship your projects, don't worry about finishing them.

I'm more likely to be bitten by the need to perfect than the lack of effort to finish. And I still often wait too long to ship and get crucial course-correcting feedback, wasting time on what I thought needed finishing.

That queue is about as fast as it gets, <10 ns. Timestamp is taken before queueing.

Again, due to bad calibration code the measured timestamps have quite a bit jitter.

Edit: TSC might not be synchronized in multi-socket systems. (Multiple physical CPU sockets). That can generate a large error.

I always wonder how common it was. You hear it mentioned anytime agriculture stuff gets brought up, but I wonder if it was a small group of people doing this and then everyone acting like all natives did it, or if it was actually widespread as people make it out to be.
Yes, by the cracker team not by the Winamp devs.
My app was rejected for about 1 week because some home screen widgets I have advertised don’t show up on their simulator. This is a known bug with the iOS simulator and the widgets show up after killing the app and opening it again. I explained this and they ignored it and continued rejecting it. After I pushed a new build which targeted ios 18 (and did not fix the issue they were claiming was there), they accepted it within minutes.
lol. it's not too late to delete this. the fact that you don't have the fundamentals together does not inspire any confidence.
How is it zealous to prevent people from co-opting and diluting the meaning, like you have done here? If anything, companies are trying to misuse "open source" for their source-available code.
It seems like we are currently in the "skeuomorphic" product design era for AI products. Which is to say we are building the same products but with AI tacked on.

The NW Natural website says they spun up their first biogas (I guess we are calling it Renewable Natural Gas or RNG now?) in 2022 and they had a partially completed second facility at the time. That’s not a lot of time to shift your fuel mix.

It is concerning that NWN hasn’t updated their environmental report since December 2022. But it looks like they’ve focused on carbon intensity in other ways, like finding more efficient producers and reducing venting during maintenance. It’s a start but it does sound a lot like foot dragging.
Agents are there for the edge cases. We had a contract dispute that required negotiations and even a brief discussion with a lawyer. At one point, our agent was calling title companies in the area to find the _other_ escrow account.

Also, 6980 has 128 cores over 96 cores in the old Epyc 9754.

Next month AMD will launch their current generation, which will also have 128 cores in their model competing with 6980 (and 192 cores in the model competing with Sierra Forest).

Intel has chosen well to do the Granite Rapids launch a few weeks earlier than expected, so that they can be compared only with the old AMD CPUs.

Granite Rapids will have the advantage over AMD Turin to use some non-standard memory modules "MCR DIMM" (Multiplexer Combined Ranks DIMM), originally developed by Hynix, but now also made by Micron, which have higher throughput than the standard DDR5 memories.

There is a pending JEDEC standard for a similar kind of memories (MRDIMMs, multiplexed rank buffered DIMMs), which is slightly different from what Granite Rapids uses now. AMD will support MRDIMMs eventually, but presumably only in future CPUs, because the JEDEC standard is not finalized.

For additional confusion, Intel and Micron have renamed "MCR DIMM" into MRDIMM, to match the name of the standard JEDEC memory, even if their specifications are different.

Therefore the MRDIMMs for Intel will not be usable in different computers, e.g. in those with AMD CPUs, even when AMD will begin to support MRDIMMs.

While Granite Rapids will have the advantage of faster non-standard memory (presumably also more expensive), it will have the disadvantage of using obsolete Redwood Cove cores, like those of Meteor Lake but with the server features added to them, e.g. AVX10.1/512 and AMX, while AMD Turin will have up-to-date Zen 5 cores, which have a significantly higher IPC (perhaps by 15%) than the Redwood Cove cores.

For AI/ML applications, Granite Rapids will be superior, due to the AMX instruction set extension, which offers features similar to the "tensor cores" of the NVIDIA GPUs. AMX is the most important part of the Intel ISA for server CPUs that is not available yet in the AMD CPUs.
