> How would you go about making the decision without testing P yourself (because that would mean that you would have to do the same for every decision in your life)?

This does not seem necessary for my ask above.

There may be many approaches, some impossible/invalid, but perhaps not all.
I'm still thinking about this comment 2 hours later, so I thought I would chime in. If you and your friends/family think $5.5M liquid is not enough to retire, I just want you to know, that you are in a very very elite and strange SV bubble. I don't live in SV, but I too know people with your net worth in SV, and they all act like they are poor and what they have is never enough.

For this alone, I'd urge you to expand your horizons, maybe when you retire move out of SV or just spend time with people outside your circle.
On the other hand, I hear a lot more about crypto wallets getting hacked than I do checking accounts at large banks.

I’ve come to the same conclusion in regards to my own learning, even after 15 years doing this.

When I want a quick hint for something I understand the gist of, but don’t know the specifics, I really like AI. It shortens the trip to google, more or less.

When I want a cursory explanation of some low level concept I want to understand better, I find it helpful to get pushed in various directions by the AI. Again, this is mostly replacing google, though it’s slightly better.

AI is a great rubber duck at times too. I like being able to bounce ideas around and see code samples in a sort of evolving discussion. Yet AI starts to show its weaknesses here, even as context windows and model quality has evidently ballooned. This is where real value would exist for me, but progress seems slowest.

When I get an AI to straight up generate code for me I can’t help but be afraid of it. If I knew less I think I’d mostly be excited that working code is materializing out of the ether, but my experience so far has been that this code is not what it appears to be.

The author’s description of ‘dissonant’ code is very apt. This code never quite fits its purpose or context. It’s always slightly off the mark. Some of it is totally wrong or comes with crazy bugs, missed edge cases, etc.

Sure, you can fix this, but this feels a bit too much like using the wrong too for the job and then correcting it after the fact. Worse still is that in the context of learning, you’re getting all kinds of false positive signals all the time that X or Y works (the code ran!!), when in reality it’s terrible practice or not actually working for the right reasons or doing what you think it does.

The silver lining of LLMs and education (for me) is that they demonstrated something to me about how I learn and what I need to do to learn better. Ironically, this does not rely on LLMs at all, but almost the opposite.

Yeah, it's pretty much the same story for me; after having found out how to get all the same features in KDE that I had in xfce, there was no way back. I always like to use the lightweight and less resource intensive software, but arguably not using hardware acceleration is actually very resource hungry.
FM radio will still exist afaik. Nobody in my country used AM for a decade now.
If it’s true for the beginner level, then it’s true for every level, since we’re always learning something.
I like AI to help me fixing bugs and looking up errors, but i usually architect everything on my own and i'm glad i can use it for everything i would've put off to some coworker who can do the lookups and works on a view or sth. that has no reconnect to the base system architecture.

So he's not wrong, you have to ask the right questions still, but with later models that think about what they do this could still become a non-issue sooner than some breathing in relieve think.

We are bound to a maximum of around 8 working units in our brain, a machine is not. Once AI builds a structure graph like wikidata next to the attention vectors we are so done!
Hmm not so sure. If you don’t know or understand some web development fundamentals; having a friend who just writes the code for you and also sometimes makes up wrong code and presents it as the right code. Can definitely be a hindrance to learning rather than a help.
Well, I must admit, LLMs made me lose the joy of learning programming and made me realize I like to solve problems.

There was a time I really liked to go through books, documentation, learn and run the codes etc. but these days are gone for me. I prefer to enjoy free time and go to the gym now

I can't disclose many details, but at the company I work at they did some Wifi4EU installs, and use Ubiquiti hardware, without noticeable reliability issues.

Reposting my comment from when Ziggy came up on Lobsters:

Hi all, author here, just a quick warning: the version is v0.0.1 for a reason.

I developed Ziggy as part of my work on the Zine static site generator (https://zine-ssg.io) and, while I do believe there’s something to improve over JSON (as I stated in the frontpage copy, and other documentation pages) at least for my own usecases, I have developed Ziggy up to the point of being usable from Zine and then went back to work on the SuperHTML templating language / html language server.

I will do in the near future a second round of polishing on Ziggy and smooth out some things I’m unhappy with (e.g. custom string literals and how those interact with enums in particular), so beware that Ziggy has to compete for resources with the rest of the Zine ecosystem… and a lot of things in the Zine ecosystem require more work still.
This is awesome. We’ve adopted a similar architecture with DO. Does it do data sync across devices? Offline first? Or is it all online thru DO and D1?
Yes, I see the difference. If a reason existed, it's always been possible for an individual (private investigator, police, random infatuated person) to follow you around and track your movements in public.

It's not been possible for a corporation to collect images and videos from thousands of sources and use facial recognition and AI to track the movements of many people in public and be able to associate that with their online activities, credit reports, and other records. Information that will then be subject to subpoena or worse, depending on the desires of governments that may eventually be in power in the future.

When a person is using LLMs for work and the result is abysmal, that person must go. So easy. LLMs will make people dumber in the long term, because the machine thinks instead of them and they will readily accept the result it gives if it works. This will have horrifying results in 1-2 generations. Just like social media killed people's attention spam.

But of course we don't need to regulate this space. Just let it go, all in wild west baby.

I do this as well. I have inline suggestions enabled with supermaven (I like the tiny, short, fast suggestions it creates), but otherwise I’m really using LLMs to validate ideas, not actually generate code.

I find supermaven helps keep me on track because its suggestions are often in line with where I was going, rather than branching off into huge snippets of slightly related boilerplate. That’s extremely distracting.

Back in the early 2000's, I was working for the largest hardcore porn company in the world, serving tons of traffic. We built a cluster of 3 Dell 2950 servers with JBoss4. We were using Hibernate and EJB2 entities, with a MySQL backend. This was all before "cloud" allowed porn on their own systems, so we had to do it ourselves.

Once configured correctly and all the multicast networking was set up, distributed 2PC transactions via jgroups worked flawlessly for years. We actually only needed one server for all the traffic, but used 3 for redundancy and rolling updates.

If all the students are using ChatGPT to do the assignments and the TA is using ChatGPT to grade them, maybe it's not cheating, maybe that's just how things are now.

You don't have to use 'Modern Frameworks' (aka an ahistorical mish-mash of Javascript frameworks) to do web development at all. I'm really puzzled as to why people refer to this as modern web development.

If you're looking for a sane tech stack there are plenty of languages to use which are not javascript and plenty of previous frameworks to look at.

Very little javascript is needed for a useful and fluid front-end experience and the back end can be whatever you like.

> (though I still don't appreciate how this would practically be done to the existing hardware, and they apparently only simulated this with software-defined radio).

It is my understanding that most modern baseband chips can effectively be considered "software defined radios", as most of the modulation/demodulation is performed by the firmware. While the researchers appear to have used a USRP (a dedicated SDR platform), it is conceivable their scheme could be accommodated in the firmware.

I mean, if there were a bunch of Stalinists running around inciting the above, that might be more of a relevant point.

In practice, Stalinism is largely a dead ideology; modern communists, particularly in the west, are (a) _tiny_ in numbers, (b) not terribly significant and (b) quite different. They’re just not a real concern.

For comparable BER. I wonder what SNR is needed for speech to be intelligible?

To be fair, if someone made a voice encoding only with that had a lot of error correction bits, it would probably work at much longer distances. Some of the codecs are 2 kilobits per second for human voice? That's got to have a way better margin for the same channel bandwidth than analog decoded by the human brain. This way we get the digital advantage and lossy compression.

I'm the same, and I think it's a product of getting older and being more and more acutely aware of the passage of time and not wanting to spend time on bullshit things. Nothing to do with LLMs. I still like solving problems in code but I no longer get any joy from learning yet another new language or framework to do the same things we've been doing for the past 30 years, but with a different accent.

Cash also has costs - mistakes in making change, forgeries, time to count/cash up, time to visit banks for cash deposit and/or getting change, theft - it’s been estimated that these can easily exceed any costs of handling credit/debit cards.
As someone deploying production supercomputers using those chips, I can't agree with you more.
Yes that's why it's nothing like using a calculator. If the LLM had a concept of right or wrong or knew when it was wrong, that would be entirely different.

As it is you're getting a smeared average of every bit of similar code it was exposed to, likely wrong, inefficient and certainly not a good tool for learning at present. Hopefully they'll improve somehow.

This exact comment (with subtle phrasing variations) shows up in every article that includes "web" in the title, but I feel like I'm living in an alternate universe from those who write comments like these. Either that or the comments got stuck in the tubes for a decade and are just now making it out.

My experience is that React is pretty much standard these days. People create new frameworks still because they're not fully satisfied with the standard, but the frontend churn is basically over for anyone who cares for it to be. The tooling is mature, IDE integration is solid, and the coding patterns are established.

For databases, Postgres. Just Postgres.

If you want to live in the churn you always can and I enjoy following the new frameworks to see what they're doing differently, but if you're writing this live in 2024 and not stuck in 2014 you can also just... not?
Well, I think you ought to write more than that... Enlighten us!
There are tons of debates online about this. Realistically I think it's all tradeoffs and there are no silver bullets, so I won't really weigh in on the _right_ way to do it.

But I think we can all agree that MANY people are using env vars for secrets because of their simplicity, so our hope is to help make those folks more secure and solve some of the related papercuts.

Ultimately DMNO is designed in a way that we should be able to swap out how the config actually gets passed around, so we can hopefully help users use whatever is the most secure way to do things without having to think too much about it.
Nope, you need switch silicon with a driver that punts 01:80:c2:0:0:0e to cpu. A lot can do this but not all (generally a driver issue, not HW limitation.)

It’s not great as an external display, since the experience is like sitting very close to a massive TV while wearing steampunk googles. You have to turn your head a lot, and eye-tracking is broken for a lot of sites in Safari (eg accidental downvotes on HN).

I don’t think that’s a dealbreaker - as long as the device can actually act as a standalone computer.

But it can’t, at least not for developers. It’s much closer to an iPad that only runs 10% of the apps you want. Maybe this is sufficient if your job only requires communication, and not, like, actual work.

So you end up with an expensive, socially awkward accessory to your MBP, which quickly gets left at home, because it doesn’t really do anything better than your existing devices.

What hardware are you using where KDE is considered "resource intensive", yet it also has a GPU that supports Vulkan and hardware video decoding?

I've used KDE for a long time, and can't remember a time when I noticed its resource usage (and I used to daily drive a ThinkPad X200 as late as 2016)
For standard Wi-Fi the biggest factors for a fresh association are:

- Discovery. You have to wait to see which saved networks are broadcasting. Broadcasting more often = less efficient airspace for already attached clients. Broadcasting less often = longer delay for clients to "see" the network when they start listening.

- External authentication. E.g. if you're doing RADIUS auth or MAC auth with an external database instead of a PSK exchange there is extra time in setting up this exchange and then waiting for the external authenticator to validate it.

- DHCP / NDP. Wi-Fi assumes you more or less want to emulate a standard Ethernet + IP session but over this new fangled air connection. This is an additional delay for an additional exchange with the services responsible for this. Typical clients e.g. Windows will also perform extra address duplication checks slowing things further.

There are some extensions in more modern Wi-Fi standards for clients that want to "sleep" for long periods, immediately do some stuff, then sleep for long periods (like IoT). Particularly TWT (target wait time). These, and more, are already found in purpose built protocols like LoRa/LoRaWAN though.
