Have you ever been outside the US?

Yes, there’s definitely a lot of nice people there (most, even), but there’s also a whole bunch more that make it feel unsafe to just walk the streets.
It becomes less common because it's less valuable. If LLM can reason, there is little value in human reasoning (beyond particular situations).
Not everybody should code -- Mike Rowe's "Don't Follow Your Passion" [0] is a great example explaining why.

That said, I have a son and he's learning coding (I write code for a living). I also encourage him to learn plumbing, woodworking, mechanical repairs, electronics, cooking, cleaning, painting, caring for animals, etc blah blah blah.

He knows what gen AI is and how to access it; he knows it's a tool, a novelty that he uses to goof on his buddies with weird pictures and all that, and I don't believe I'm necessarily teaching him how to shoe a horse while the gasoline buggy is right around the corner (but I guess you never know what the future will bring)

That said, problem-solving, resilience, patience, belief-in-self, consistency, discipline, all of these borderline-woo-woo characteristics of a successful person, these are the things that matter. Your tools are just your tools. 10 seconds in Midjourney or 10 hours in Photoshop will result in the same picture you're trying to clown your pal with. The goal is to get a laugh, not to get a technical critique.

Be careful and judicious with your choice of tools, techniques and styles; be unique and original in your creations. At the same time, don't be afraid of new tech or mediums or theories or ideas. You never know what you might create!

In my experience it applies to coding when you have any reliance on third party libraries or services and don't have an extensive amount of actual real world experience with that technology already.
It's simply amazing what people did with the limited computing they had available to them at the time. Even when it was available, you only got an allotment of it and had to figure out how to do everything you wanted within that allotment.

Here we are with many orders of magnitude of computing power that we have to ourselves, 24/7, and mostly we're using all that power to browse the Internet :P

Calculating the first 50,000,000 primes takes less than ten minutes (using no memory - that is, not a sieve). The 50,000,000th prime, BTW, is 982,451,653. I wonder what the author of this paper would've been able to do with the kind of processing available to us.

Like I alluded to in my comment where I said it doesn't have to be mercenary: if you would otherwise have a reason to get together with somebody in person, make plans to do it. It can be one-on-one or with others, but the point is that the main reason for the meeting is social, i.e. you're doing exactly what you would have normally done. Then, during the customary "what's new with you?" part of the conversation you can let them know what type of work you do and that you're looking for. The main point is that you're actively seeking to get together with your friends, rather than waiting for them to call you. This is just keeping your network warm and planting seeds; you're not grilling them for job opportunities, and there is nothing inauthentic about it since it truly is a social call. Think of it as a slow burn, or the long game, or whatever metaphor works.

When it comes to people you don't know well enough to ask to get together with in person, shoot them an email or text. There's nothing wrong with being up front with what you're looking for, e.g. "Hey Joe, this is Mike (friend of your acquaintance Jane from Company XYZ), just letting you know I'm focusing on technical project management [or whatever] these days, wondering if you know of any part time opportunities in the field?" Receiving this request from an acquaintance is light years more acceptable than receiving it from a total stranger.

> It is structurally impossible to reform the government.

Not for the reasons you describe (and plenty of government reforms do happen – they may not be the one you want, but that's not because reform is structurally impossible.)

> The filibuster creates a one-way ratchet.

This is demonstrably false, and also Senate rules have to be readopted every Congress on a simple majority vote, so if it was actually this big of a problem, a newly elected Republican majority could just eliminate or reform the filibuster on a simple majority vote, and then proceed to do whatever it was preventing them from doing. (And we know this can be done in practice as well as in theory, because the filibuster has been reformed multiple times since created as a result of the elimination of the majority-vote-to-end-debate rule in 1806.)

> But you specifically said that without such an explanation, products should "go to Reddit" (which presumably means, they don't belong on HN)

I didn't imply anything about BlenderGPT at all, I just responded to a comment. Reddit is both an advertising platform for products of all kinds, and a conversation platform for broader categories of audiences, whereas SHOW HN is like a "here's my project/product, I hope you find it interesting, and here's a chance to ask me about it". If someone posts a Show HN, it's fair assume that if people find it interesting, they'll ask how it works, because we're going to be curious, and if a person is hypothetically not prepared for that, Show HN might not be the best place to post it. I didn't say any of that was true or false regarding BlenderGPT, it was just a general remark.

I really like the ~3B param version of phi-3. It wasn't very powerful and overused memory, but was surprisingly strong for such a small model.

I'm not sure how I can be impressed by a 14B Phi-4. That isn't really small any more, and I doubt it will be significantly better than llama 3 or Mistral at this point. Maybe that will be wrong, but I don't have high hopes.
I'm kind of on the fence about this approach. In the worst case you end up wasting time on a lot of dead ends. It's in such a situation that I kick myself for not spending time thinking about the problem before starting to write code.

The best times I've had with writing design documentation has been when I thought about the problem enough that I could specify the properties necessary for a correct implementation. Depending on the scope of the problem I might use property tests or model checking. In any case, thinking about the problem up-front tends to prune away dead-ends before you head down them.

(Of course, you can't do much about a bad specification except try to avoid them... learning how to write good ones takes experience, wisdom, and constructive input from knowledgeable colleagues).

Update: I’m on the fence because I’ve also had a lot of success with implementing partial solutions: just get something good enough that works for some use cases and improve as you go.

For what it's worth, my LG TV (which is a few years old, to be fair) has never once showed up in my pi-hole's logs. We use an external box for the "smart" stuff, and the TV itself isn't up to any shenanigans as far as I can tell.
That doesn't explain why it's impossible to buy, for instance, a 65" OLED without ads. We're talking about a TV with a four-figure price tag, and there's no ad-free option.
> Isn’t ending the filibuster a one-way trip also?

Given the history of Senate rules, probably not. We’ve gone from “simple majority to end debate” to “unlimited debate as long as any one Senator wants to continue”, to a 2/3 supermajority for cloture (which, in the time it has existed, has changed both how it is applied and which votes it applies to.) The change hasn’t been unidirectional, and any future change would have no special reason to be assumed to be. (OTOH, neither does the one-way ratchet rayiner initially described exist, so I guess the two are equally real.)
> Millions of people actually chose this over their other options.

What other options would those be? What non-"smart" OLED TVs exist on the market right now?

Ray has some really unfortunate nomenclature/branding in my opinion. Ray is, itself, a framework for distributed computing, on top of which they have built numerous applied platforms such as Ray Data, Ray Train, Ray Serve, etc. This includes your reinforcement learning platform, RayRLib.

There's typically a gear train that communicates the rotation of the spindle to the threading mechanism. This is so that you can turn a precise number of threads per unit length, and to take multiple passes to reach the desired thread depth. There's a multi-ratio gearbox that sets the thread pitch.

The 2.54 ratio lets you turn metric threads on a US machine, with the help of tables in the manual for how to set all of the levers. Machinists hate it, and these days will prefer to buy a die for the occasional threading job.

People say that, every time this discussion comes up, but never with any proof.

People buy OLED TVs with four-figure price tags. If those had a "pay $100 more and never see an ad" option, many people would pay for that.

The Kindle e-book reader still has both ad-supported and non-ad-supported models. The non-ad-supported options cost ~$20 (a bit less than 20%) more. Those still sell well enough to be worth selling both models.

The IBM mainframe I had access to in the 80s at University of Illinois of Chicago had quotas of compute time (that reset on a weekly basis). Since I worked in the computer center, I had an account that had a larger quota (or possibly unlimited, I don’t remember now, perhaps the unlimited was when I advanced to a staff level?). One of the more entertaining things was when one class started having people code in Ada. Unfortunately, the Ada compiler was a CPU hog and a single compilation was enough to use up a week’s quota. As a result, students had to work in teams and share access to their online disks (VM/CMS did allow different modes that allowed privacy for things like email to be kept even while allowing read access to the rest of the stuff on the disk—also noteworthy was the lack of subdirectories). The team members had to switch to a different account after each day‘s work since they would exhaust each account’s quota. If you inadvertently logged out too soon, it was possible that a homework assignment could not be completed.

All of this is mentioned at the very top of the article where it says: "Note that the specification for this feature changed in 2023 (including a rename of shadowroot to shadowrootmode), and the most up to date standardized versions of all parts of the feature landed in Chrome version 124."
