I have been building an app for job seekers as the customer (rather than employers) and plan to build in feedback loops into companies that have ghost jobs by monitoring the number of applicants who never move to the next phase of interviews but still thinking about how that feature could work. But without employers as the paying customer for job search sites I see no reason why that data isn’t transparent for the job seekers

This is still possible in many European countries, especially less wealthy ones.

Yes and my point is that the kinds of people who over-rely on AI and can't seem to get anything done without it are the kinds of people who previously over relied on stack overflow and copy paste.

The kinds of people who would have in the past tried a new and unproven language are still there and they're unlikely to stop trying new and unproven languages just because AI doesn't know them.

I for sure am not going to stop looking at weird new and/or obscure languages just because AI struggles with them.

They're not intercepting calls over their network from suspected bad actors; rather, they've created some phone numbers that always go to Daisy - see https://www.ispreview.co.uk/index.php/2024/11/virgin-media-o...
I'm imagining this is just a publicity stunt, and I'll say it's a very good one. However I can't see it being very practical. There are lots of scam calls to keep up with and LLMs and text-to-speech models are expensive to run. If they do run this in production, the costs of running hundreds of 'Daisies' will inevitably be passed onto the consumer, and worse still, if the scammers are calling in through PSTN lines or cellular this will use up our already scarce bandwidth. I've frequently had difficulty connecting through trunk lines from Belgium and Germany to numbers in Britain, and that's without a legion of AI grannies sitting on the phone!
> A good way to start is to eat only when feeling hungry

LOL, that's what everyone riding the "western diet" blood sugar roller coaster is already doing.

If the diet doesn't reflect the environment our biological needs evolved in, acting without self discipline, eating based on how you feel, is a sure path to obesity, diabetes, and NAFLD.

Horrible advice.
My guess is it would break stuff like `ps x`, but ideally tools that use the procfs would gracefully degrade in cases like this?

To be clear, the examples I gave aren't those of what I think effective management should, but rather an amalgamation of the though processes I've observed.

> These examples all seem outdated on both sides, and not realistic to me

They are indeed outdated ... but I think common, and help explain some of the management/IC disconnect here at the companies struggling to adapt. There are plenty of shitty companies out there will middle management operating on inertia. It is one of the (many) reasons working on startups can be so rewarding.

There are great remote companies, in-person companies, hybrid companies. There are companies great as some aspects and not others. The trend I think for the companies doing it well, is intentional process and culture design. And importantly regular iteration to improve. At it only gets harder at scale.
I mean... sounds like we are if you only have to turn off one of the firewalls and not reinstall. I think ancient windows firewalls would routinely replace the system networking driver files, and that's why things got really messy. At least we're beyond that.
Great question.

We built a dataset of past success and fails with training, validation and test sets. Afterwards, the model got trained with some context from human experts at the beginning such as "Being a repeat entrepreneur is positive". Then, the model built out a explainable decision tree without human intervention. Lastly, a human looked into the models that machine came up with, and improve its logic further. For instance, the model might be asking a vague question such as "Is the entrepreneur based in an innovation hub?". The expert may prompt it to be "Hey, be specific and put specific cities or regions to improve this question".

Then the model would re-run and try to improve that question with a goal to increase the precision.

So this goes on and on with expert-in-the-loop.

Sometimes, expert may give wrong advice! :) And, in that case, the performance would decrease...

Lastly, your example is a great one. Human may introduce some bias into the process. For that reason, we also built a model with no human intervention with 10x cross validation. And, the model still outperforms all humans...

Given that expert-in-the-loop is a time intensive and expensive process, we did not do 10x fold validation for that. However, our initial observations indicate that the magic happens when humans and experts work together.
I got really lucky even if my comp was pretty mediocre for a number of years. But it was pretty much nuclear winter and many people (not just developers) left the tech industry.
Again, to be clear: the standard does not stipulate GitHub or any other specific identity providers. The plan is to enable GitLab and the other Trusted Publisher providers in short order.

This is exactly the same as Trusted Publishing, where people accused the feature of being a MSFT trojan horse because GitHub was enabled first. I think it would behoove everybody to assume the best intentions here and remember that the goal is to secure the most people by default.
Oh, you don't think they do it with malice?

This is the lump of labor fallacy. People are both consumers and laborers; by bringing someone new into a labor market you marginally decrease demand for their skill set but you also marginally increase demand for all other labor. If H1-B visa holders all worked in the same industry, it could conceivably lower wages in that industry but they don't. They work in everything from healthcare, to IT, to education.

The author starts with a straw man argument, of someone who thinks that AI is great at dealing with technical debt. He makes little attempt to steel man their argument. Then the author argues the opposite without much supporting evidence. I think the author is right that some people were quick to assume that AI is much better for brownfield projects, but I think the author was also quick to assume the opposite.

Six days for me:

>Your account meets this criteria, and you will need to enroll in 2FA within 45 days, by November 8th, 2024 at 00:00 (UTC). After this date, your access to GitHub.com will be limited until you enroll in 2FA. Enrolling is easy, and we support several options, starting with TOTP apps and text messages (SMS) and then adding on passkeys and the GitHub Mobile app.

I think the exact deadline depends on the organisation. I know that I only enabled 2FA for my throwaway work account (we don't use github at work, and I didn't want to comment using my personal one) last week.
I hope big tech just leaves the EU and leaves them scrambling to replace large swaths of infrastructure while everything goes down.

"Imagine reimagining software development entirely from AI-first principles." this is exciting - and challenging - exercise. It's interesting to me that the Tessl team defines this as "In that future, you would start with a prompt and simply tell the AI what to build, rather than beginning in the IDE with code." compared to some of the other approaches here that are various degrees of similar or different such as Vercel's v0 and GitHub's Spark which both allow the creation of web apps using natural language, and thinks like Cognition Labs' Devin which is more focused on going from AI co-pilot to an autonomous software engineer. Excited to see what Tessl builds!

This file is created when the server is provisioned with cloud-init. For example when you use https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/ as a template image to create your VM. For these cases you would need to supply cloud-init config via separate means (openstack user-data or just secondary mounted ISO) and cloud-init would perform post-install tasks like configuring users, passwords, ssh keys, etc. If you just install your machine from ISO, cloud-init is not used.

I guess that many hosters will use cloud-init for their VPS offerings "under-the-hood". Usually they'll generate password and mail it to you, so obviously ssh password should be allowed for this case.
Searching for people from scratch in reaction to a sudden demand will have much more latency than having someone you can pull from a recent roster of validated candidates.

It's exactly the same like how an integrated circuit can pull a sudden power demand from a capacitor placed next to it (often required by the datasheet), rather than from the power supply upstream, so there is no voltage sag affecting it and nearby components.

Or, in computing, prefetch and speculative execution, and such.

My conclusion from all of this is that most low-information voters really do make their decisions based on personality and message, rather than ideology or policy.

Dems always shoot themselves in the foot by putting up candidates that middle america just can't seem to relate to.

> There is an emerging belief that AI will make tech debt less relevant.

Wow. It's hard to believe that people are earnestly supposing this. From everything we have evidence of so far, AI generated code is destined to be a prolific font of tech debt. It's irregular, inconsistent, highly sensitive to specific prompting and context inputs, and generally produces "make do" code at best. It can be extremely "cheap" vs traditional contributions, but gets to where it's going by the shortest path rather than the most forward-looking or comprehensive.

And so it does indeed work best with young projects where the prevailing tech debt load remains low enough that the project can absorb large additions of new debt and incoherence, but that's not to the advantage of young projects. It's setting those projects up to be young and debt-swamped much sooner than they would otherwise be.

If mature projects can't use generative AI as extensively, that's going to be to their advantage, not their detriment -- at least in terms of tech debt. They'll be forced to continue plodding along at their lumbering pace while competitors bloom and burst in cycles of rapid initial development followed by premature seizure/collapse.

And to be clear: AI generated code can have real value, but the framing of this article is bonkers.
You can play around: in dev, at home and in university. At work, boring, drab, proven tech until a pressing need arises where we must push the envelope.

Yeah, I often like to point out that our entire industry is already built on taking repeatable stuff and then abstracting it away.

I believe that many are willing to pay if the results are good enough when compared to free alternatives.

However, as many studies show in Youtube/Meta/GoogleSearch ad revenue per user, the subscription price needs to be really high to match the ad profits.

If you want to maximize the profits, you include ads.
Ah yes, if only we could mint experienced devs from thin air, your model would be perfectly sound!
Originally, Perplexity advertised itself as being the ad-free alternative to Google search. Now they switch to an ad-based model. Unsurprising.

Yep. I just decided to stop playing the game. I looked for about the first 6 months (a requirement for unemployment) but after that I decided to just retire. I was planning to work a few years more, but it's just not worth it. It's not only the ghost jobs, it's the whole interview process where you could spend days on interviews and take home tests and you still don't get the job. And then there's the ageism. No thanks. I'm out. Fortunately I can afford to be (frugally) retired.
It works identically for debian. Just today I configured debian server with cloud-init and it created absolutely the same file.
The good recruiters are the ones who won't put you forward for a job that you're not qualified for, and will advocate for you during the hiring process in a job that you are qualified for. I have worked with recruiters like this before. But you need to screen the recruiter a bit, at least make sure that the jobs they are proposing for you actually make sense for you. If you are asking for SRE jobs in New York and they send you a DB Admin job req in New Haven, don't waste your time with that recruiter or that job.

> This mirrors my experience using LLMs on personal projects. They can provide good advice only to the extent that your project stays within the bounds of well-known patterns.

I agree but I find its still a great productivity boost for certain tasks, cutting through the hype and figuring out tasks that are well suited to these tools and prompting optimially has taken me a long time.

Except the change the EU is trying to encourage with this ruling is really absurdly dumb. It's clearly and transparently rent seeking.

We are already in a trade war and the only one that refuses to acknowledge it is the US. The US needs to embargo and deprive EU of the essential tech infrastructure they provide it. Just turn it off or brick it one day and leave the EU scrambling to catch up with 20+ years of stagnation and missing services and hardware.

Let's see how good it will be for the consumer when tech just leaves. Maybe then they'll change their regulations to something that works to enable technological progress and innovation.
Yeah, this seems like a clear-cut "We want justice, not money" decision. We don't know how much the families gave up (could be a little, could be significant), but whatever it was was the difference between Infowars remaining what it is or utterly destroying Infowars' credibility.

One hundred percent! And you can already see this playing out. More and more large law firms are spinning up technology and innovation teams. This is a huge investment on their part, indicating they're incentivized.

Also, the billable hour is somewhat misunderstood. It is more of a process tool than a hard reality. Repeat clients expect the bill to end up within a certain range. And law firms expect their people to work a certain number of hours.
If its FOSS you also have to convince other contributors to work your choice of license.

The first example in the article is Wordpress whose developers did not get to chose the license because they forked an existing GPL project.

> Granting no license means others using your code in any way is copyright infringement, which individuals don't need to care about, but makes it something no business of any significant size will touch.

How do individuals get your code? How do they install it? Copyright matters to most distribution mechanisms.

A good many small businesses (not just those of significant size) would be reluctant to breach copyright. I think if you want to do that use a license that allows non-commercial use or use by businesses below a certain size.
