It's strange to me that's your takeaway. The reason that the internet was overhyped in the 2000's is because it was and also heavily overvalued. It took a massive correction and seriously disruptive bubble burst to break the delusion and move on to something more sustainable.

I really think Git should just add builtin support for binaries, and diffing for SQLite and .zip. it's not like it would be all that much code.

It doesn't really solve the problem of these formats not working well with collaboration and sync tools, but it would probably be good enough for some use cases.

I take it that left wingers feel that "community notes" isn't effective or sufficient to combat right wing beliefs that are wrong?

The people on the right seem satisfied for now that they can "combat misinformation with more information". (That's a misquote by the way, I believe he said better information, not more. On second thought, he may have said it both ways.)

The real issue is people selecting a license that says something while actually wanting something else.

You either develop open source because someone pays for it (in which case it's an ordinary business transaction) or because you find it inherently rewarding and you have another way of paying your bills. If any of these stops being true – if the business fails, if the hobby / volunteer project stops being rewarding, or if you need more time for a normal job – you abandon the project. Maybe someone else picks it up or maybe nobody does, but it doesn't matter.

The traditional permissive licenses are named after universities, and they are modeled after the reward structures of the academia. A big company taking what you created and making billions with it (without giving you anything) is exactly the outcome you hoped for. You'll have some real-world impact to show the next time your performance is evaluated.

If that's not what you wanted, you need to select a more appropriate license for your project.

Ugn, HN throttled my replies and lost the one I was writing.

The nozzle is there for shield gas delivery. It also has a very short focal length making the focal point extremely distance sensitive so it has a wheel at the tip of the nozzle to keep the height constant. Since this is for welding in a vacuum you can omit the nozzle and even the wheel if you have a steady enough hand.
It might be worthwhile to look at how an LLM might assist someone with this condition. A lot of the persistence hacks used on LLM chatbots are addressing the lack of retained memories outside of the context window, so maybe something like RAG could help your mom live a less limited life, or reduce some of the burden on you or other caretakers.

When it came to smart apps it just became impossible to try to fix via the remote as the remote wasn't really the problem.

In discussing how to adapt teaching methods, we have also looked at evaluation by LLM. The most talked about concern now is the unreliability of LLM output. However, say that in the future, accuracy of LLMs improves to the point that it is no longer a problem. Would it then be good to have evaluation by LLM?

I would say generally not, for two reasons. First, the teacher needs to know how the student is developing. To get a thorough understanding takes working through the student's output, not just checking a summary score. Second, the teacher needs to provide selective feedback, to focus student attention on the most important areas needing development. This requires knowledge of the goals of the teacher and the developmental history of the student.

I won't argue that LLM evaluation could never be applied usefully. If the task to be evaluated is simple and the skills to be learned are straightforward, I imagine that it could benefit the students of some grossly overloaded teacher.
I'll look into it.

I'll add that my experience with the Codium plugin for IntelliJ is night and day different from the Windsurf editor from Codium.

It seems you are missing a lot of "ifs" in that hypothetical!

Nobody knows how things like coding assistants or other AI applications will pan out. Maybe it'll be Oracle selling Meta-licenced solutions that gets the lion's share of the market. Maybe custom coding goes away for many business applications as off-the-shelf solutions get smarter.

A future where all that AI (or some hypothetical AGI) changes is work being done by humans to the same work being done by machines seems way too linear.

Speaking to that, the most played song on Spotify, ever, is "Blinding Lights" by The Weeknd. Came out 5 years ago, and it's "okay"; funny enough, it triggers a lot of 80s nostalgia with its instrumentals. So, there's a data point for you to ponder.

What I find really interesting of late is YouTube Music suggesting sleeper hits to me, that were big 20-30 years ago, but somehow missed out on them.

I trained in the cout school of debugging. I can use a debugger, and sometimes do, but it's really hard to use a debugger effectively when you're also dealing with concurrency and network clients.

> you can have LLMs create reasonable code changes, with automatic review / iteration etc.

Nobody who takes code health and sustainability seriously wants to hear this. You absolutely do not want to be in a position where something breaks, but your last 50 commits were all written and reviewed by an LLM. Now you have to go back and review them all with human eyes just to get a handle on how things broke, while customers suffer. At this scale, it's an effort multiplier, not an effort reducer.

It's still good for generating little bits of boilerplate, though.

Haha. You're on a roll.
container queries have a very obvious chicken and egg problem if used a certain way: If this container is less than 30px wide, make its content 60px wide. Otherwise make it 20px wide. Now that container exists in a quantum state of being both 30 and 60px wide. I actually haven't looked into container queries to see how they ended up dealing with this yet.

Obviously this is a very contrived example but it can also express itself in subtler ways.
If you had actually read the article you would have learned that NYC did not actually get rid of the gift and talented program. It just changed how the gifted students were identified and actually...expanded...the program. Quite dramatically.

Yes I agree with this in principle. Although in this case what "good" is, is ill-defined - or rather different to everyone. The scoring each person performs is actually most directly a statement of utility to the scorer. That should probably go into the piece as an edit :-)

I use the debugger fairly regularly, though for me I'm on a stack where friction is minimal. In Go w/ VS Code, you can just write a test, set your breakpoints, hit "debug test", and you're in there in probably less than 20 seconds.

I am like you though, I don't typically resort to it immediately if I think I can figure out the problem with a quick log. And the times where I've not had access to a debugger with good UX, this tipping point can get pushed quite far out.

A recent discovery showing that computer chess (which was traditionally based on searching a combinatorial space, i.e. NP-hard) that is instead now being solved with transformer models, is actually playing better at the ELO level.

https://arxiv.org/pdf/2402.04494

If you think about using search to play chess, it can go several ways.

Brute-forcing all chess moves (NP hard) doesn’t work because you need almost infinite compute power.

If you use a chess engine with clever heuristics to eliminate bad solutions, you can solve it in finite time.

But if you learn from the best humans performing under different contexts (transformers are really good at capturing context in sequences and predicting the next token from that context — hence their utility in LLMs) you have narrowed your search space even further to only set of good moves (by grandmaster standards).
I couldn't be more pleased with this outcome, and I haven't seen anything to suggest that this is less than entirely legitimate.
The conclusion states that it is not a vulnerability.

You can now (already in OpenMP5) use it to write GPU programs. Intels OneAPI uses OpenMP 5.5 to write programs for the Intel PonteVecchio GPUs which are on par to the Nvidia A100.

gcc also provides support for NVidia and AMD GPUs

for(int i = 0; i < n; i++) {

You are talking about guys who can barely figure out how to structure a Python package repository. They are not doing this kind of 4D chess.

And anyway, none of that makes any sense.
Can most humans do that? Find a job and earn money, probably. The other two? Not so much.
I'm not sure about that. NVIDIA seems to stay in a dominant position as long as the race to AI remains intact, but the path to it seems unsure. They are selling a general purpose AI-accelerator that supports the unknown path.

Once massively useful AI has been achieved, or it's been determined that LLMs are it, then it becomes a race to the bottom as GOOG/MSFT/AMZN/META/etc design/deploy more specialized accelerators to deliver this final form solution as cheaply as possible.
Heritability is a statistical concept, not a measure of genetic determinism. High heritability doesn’t imply that a trait one exhibits, such as IQ or height, is entirely predetermined by one's genes. Even eye color is only heritable to ~0.98. I'll grant that any trait heritable to 1.0 is indeed entirely predetermined by one's genes -- though, offhand, I'm not sure that such traits exist in humans.

That aside, we're getting into semantics. Whether you call it "genetic determinism" or "heritability," we're talking about durable group differences in genetically-mediated traits. And that is what people may find distasteful or even heretical.
But we don't know how human thinking works. Suppose for a second that it could be represented as a series of matrix math. What series of operations are missing from the process that would make you think it was doing some fascimile of thinking?
Right, but its behavior didn't change after you learned more about it. Why should that cause you to update in the negative? Why does learning how it work not update you in the direction of "so that's how thinking works!" rather than, "clearly its not doing any thinking"? Why do you have a preconception of how thinking works such that learning about the internals of LLMs updates you against it thinking?
Yeah, lately I've begun asking myself "How much work would you actually need to do to know this or prove this, and what would that work look like"
So, to respond to the snark seriously, the problem it is trying to solve assumes that we have encountered a particular economic failure case - that AI has outcompeted humans in cost and quality of work, such that most humans have zero economic value.

So without some scheme, there will be no wealth distribution whatsoever, and potentially grim actions by national leadership.

It's a "utility-based" wealth distribution scheme.

I prefer to find a distribution scheme that is not isomorphic to communism.
