>No he couldn’t have not signed it because that would mean aid was not passed.

Biden literally said if they passed it in the House, he would sign it. You're trying to insinuate that this is not what the Democrats or Biden wanted when all indications of their statements and actions show the exact opposite.

>America and any citizen can want a dictatorship. That doesn’t mean it was part of the founding principles. That’s a logical fallacy you’re making.

No, the logical fallacy you are making is that you are placing your interpretation that this is a violation of the first amendment as an objective fact, when it's just an opinion that the House, Senate, Courts and the Presidents disagree with you on.
I agree with you and I don't think OP disagrees either. The point if contention is the inevitable and immediate death of programming as a profession.
Let's not kid ourselves, the porn industry will be the first adopter of this.
Except that is not what SQLite states at all. They accept outside work provided the contributors waive their rights to the code by dedicating it to the public domain, and it's a high quality contribution. Which makes a whole lot of sense when the entire planet uses it. And of course, this is an academic publication so those requirements are basically lowest bar if you're serious. And consulting with your primary source during the research and iteration phase(s) and mentioning that in your publication is kind of expected?
A bit of an aside I have been wondering about is what people called her in her own time. Her name was Augusta Ada King, and she was the Countess of Lovelace. Was it common back then to shorten the title into a last name, or is it only something we have been doing in more recent time?
Shareholders are the owners. Management are legally required to maximize profits for the owners who hired them. It's not merely a recent social construct.

That's why you see shareholder lawsuits against their own company when management does something dumb/illegal and the stock drops.
100% agree. I'm not sure what they're trying to convey even.
Appreciate the snark, but yes my CEO and I did have a good chat about that. My team's work is 100% open source, so if anyone wants to borrow that code I'm more than happy to share! (obviously not from a pseudonymous account, but I don't mind the API sniffing).

But there's plenty of fantastic open models now and you can increasingly run this stuff locally so you don't have to send that IP to AI firms if you don't want to.
> If a student asks a question that goes beyond the planned lesson, you need to have an answer. You can't say, "I don't know how to do that." That would make you look incompetent.

Huh? It's perfectly normal for the curiosity of students to surpass the subject matter expertise of the teacher. Why do you believe that makes the teacher incompetent?

This is exactly it except also, the use cases are so constrained as to be hardly using LLMs at all.
I wonder how programmers of the time felt when spreadsheets got popular.
I don't how MUN is today, but in the early 90s, there were very few accommodations. It was an eye-opener for me when I got off the island, and experienced how far ahead the rest of Canada was with respect to accommodations, accessibility, and inclusion in education.

I'm glad you made it despite MUN. That could have been their slogan in the 80s and 90s.

> To me that just tells that the tests are poor, not the LLMs are good.

I mean the same is true of leetcode but I know plenty of mediocre engineers still making ~$500k because they learned how to grind leetcode.

You can argue that the world is unjust till you're blue in the face, but it won't make it a just world.
> For benchmarking, they simulate a multi-tenant serverless runtime, where each tenant gets their own embedded database. They vary the number of tenants from 1 to 100 in increments of 10. SQLite gets its own thread per tenant, and in each thread they run the query to measure.

How realistic is this? Wouldn't a serverless SQLite setup (using the existing SQLite) use a SQLite process per request (or at least a SQLite process per tenant)? This way the blocking read/write calls would have much less impact.

(You could possibly argue that you gain something with the new architecture if you can switch from processes to threads... if someone read the paper, was there an argument for it in there?)
How are we supposed to know if someone in our network used the 'This is Your Digital Life app'?

I feel like there is so much more behind this. Personally, I feel like I've been secretly blacklisted for 5 years straight. Even LLMs are telling me that it seems like I've been blacklisted and that it appears like there is 'an element of coordination' when I describe some of the bizarre work experiences that I've had in the tech (esp. crypto) industry.

I can't even talk about some of my experiences (at least not the full extent) because they are too weird and the motives make no sense.
All I know about Xiaomi is that I bought a phone from them because the hardware specs were pretty good and the bootloader was unlockable. Upon trying to unlock the bootloader, I was told my account must be 30 days old (effectively, that I must have owned the phone for 30 days). Annoying, but not that unreasonable if it's some kind of anti-theft protection or something. After 30 days, every time I press the button for the first step of unlocking, I am told that I should try again on tomorrow's date. Apparently every 6 months they change the roadblocks to bootloader unlocking, and as of this moment there is no simple way to do it (their server no longer processes the requests), with rumours they plan to permanently disable it. This is pretty bad for my trust in their brand.
There were some examples up above.

Also those "four paragraphs" are only five sentences total. It could easily be a single paragraph.

And there's nothing political in there that I can see.
I didn't read his questions nearly as combative as I read yours. And I say that as someone who's very aware of and very adverse to the idea and tactic of concern trolling.

I've spent enough time working with teams dedicated to combatting proana, and other S/SH issues, so I know pretty well how significant a problem it is. If I'd only read the above non-answers I'd probably be likely to take the side of the person you responded to.

If you think he's being combative, I'd hope you'd defuse it with redirection, instead of overt hostility. Especially if one of the issues you care about is how harmful proana, anorexia, S/SH and adjacent issues are, I'd assume you knew you need to start with compassion and understanding.

im also expecting this outcome. my thoughts are that once devs are completely replaced by ml then were going to finally have to adapt society to raise the floor because we can no longer outcompete automation. im ready to embrace this, but it seems like there is no plan for mass retirement and were going to need it. if something as complicated as app and system dev is automated, pretty much anything can be.

earnest question because i still consider this a vague, distant future: how did you come up with 20 years?
Orrrrr more simpler than imagining a vast conspiracy is that your observations just don't match theirs. If you're writing, say, C# with some esoteric libraries using CoPilot, it's easy to see it as glorified auto-complete that hallucinates to the point of being unusable because there's not enough training data. If you're using Claude with Aider to write a webpage using NextJS, you'll see it as a revolution in programming because of how much of that is on stack overflow. The other side of it is just how much the code needs to work, vs has to look good. If you're used to engineering the most beautifully organized code before shipping once, vs shipped some gross hacks you're ashamed of shipping, and the absolute quality of the code is secondary to it working and passing tests, then the generated code having an extra variable or crap that doesn't get used isn't as big an indightment of LLM-assisted programming that you believe it to be.

Why do you think your observable reality is the only one, and the correct one at that? Looking at your mindset, as well as the objections to the contrary (and their belief that they're correct), the truth is likely somewhere in-between the two extremes.
You're fighting the tide with a broom.
I am doing it this year with haskell. My C++ alter-ego (ab)used Data.STRef in the previous years so I am trying to do it idiomatically this time.

It frequently is. In fact, it tends to be a more difficult form of grieving in my opinion because now they are forced to throw away things that were yours because they know nobody else wants them. Your bedding, your old spice cabinet, the magazines you never threw out. All of those are more for your heirs to deal with emotionally and physically.
I disagree. The less a company is involved in my life. Bad enough my health care comes from them.

Companies should not be what holds up society. It gives them too much power. It also amplifies the divide between haves and haves not.

In my experience the cars are highly regulated and very predictable on the main roads. Marked out lanes, low speed limits, many red lights.

But pedestrians and bikes are everywhere, and they don't always obey the rules. I wonder how well collision detection handles sharing lanes with bikes without suddenly braking in the middle of the road.
n+1 queries can be solved in many different ways – you can easily do`User.all.includes(:character_sheet)` for example, to perform just 2 queries: 1 for users, 1 for their character sheet.

The nice thing about first-class production sqlite support is that even if you do end up with n+1 queries, it's not as big a deal: https://www.sqlite.org/np1queryprob.html

Certainly I wouldn't care about it while prototyping. I can always go back and optimize queries with judicious `.joins()` or `.includes()` if it becomes a bottleneck.
Is there a way to unlock the bootloader? (The official ways give cryptic error messages on purpose to keep you distracted until your warranty runs out)
Default values in proto are considered an anti pattern and was removed from the language in proto3.

Agreed that protocol level required is bad, and it's with proto3 made optional the default.

Our team enforces required fields via proto annotations, which can be much more flexible (we have transitional states to be able to upgrade or downgrade the check)

I play the drums. When you know a song well, you literally don't have to count anything. Sure when you're first learning a song counting bars can sometimes be helpful, but you can also listen to other cues to know when a change is coming. Like the music itself (verse, chorus, etc), or the lyrics. Either way, after playing a song enough times you'll have it memorized.

For a drummer, knowing how to read music is not at all a requirement for pop/rock/jazz. OTOH it would be important for a percussionist playing orchestral music, or for marching band/drum corps stuff.
Yep. As someone working in the media app industry. I would say it is in device manufacturers and entertainment apps interest to know what the user are interested, to allow them to keep the user using the app/device.
I'm surprised at the remembering names part. That seems different.

FWIW I used to have a terrible time remembering names. Then someone pointed out that it helps to actually pay attention when people are introducing themselves. One simple trick!
I'm really curious to know the details here. What is the minimal set of dependencies for the simplest autotroph?

Clearly there was an original self-replicating cell and it was successful, so assuming we constructed the necessary proteins, why do you think it would be difficult the second time?

Experimental archeology is amazing! However the clash of this article as it is, is not very profound.

Going over the article, it mentions three constraints pertinent to obtaining timber, and it seems that their intersection is empty.

The constraints for obtaining timber are:

1. A UK source is preferred (due to national pride?)

2. Price needs to be very cheap given the archeologists' non-profit budget

3. Veteran trees are necessary for a reconstruction, but specifically these are a scarce and precious resource.

It seems likely that either they relax (1) or get funding/sponsorship to relax (2). (3) does not admit relaxation

No more combative than “2+2 isn’t five”.

If trenchant dismissal of claims unsupported by evidence is perceived as combative, it’s a canary for that individual - to become better at handling trenchant dismissal of claims unsupported by evidence.. challenging dubious claims is the default, most rational approach. We should all do it, all the time. Sorry if it seems combative. Maybe it is, but it’s optimal and normal.

As with everything it depends on the communities you run with. The core tenet of fat acceptance is that your weight doesn't define your value as a human. Proana which is short for pro-anorexia, also known as thinspo (thin inspiration) has the core tenet of advocating and encouraging an eating disorder as how you'd obtain value. The point of thinspo is to provide people inspiration and motivation to starve themselves, which is otherwise unnatural for humans to do. if you found a community that advocate overeating as the aesthetic ideal that would be as toxic. with the caveat being that being underweight is more dangerous from a health standpoint than overweight is. again, it all depends on the community and exactly what they're advocating for.

you'd be more attractive if you were thiner that is healthy, is a lot more toxic of an idea than being fat doesn't mean there's something wrong with you.
not to mention you often drink it with sugar! Sweet drinks goes down easier than sour drinks!

Maybe the best thing to do is just continue practicing the art of writing code without LLMs. When you're the last person who can do it, it might be even more valuable than it is today.

"It requires long clear runs of oak from trunks 6 metres in length and up to 1.2 metres diameter for planking and other longitudinal timbers. They need to be straight-grained and clear of knots."

That's serious hardwood lumber. Not something you get at Home Depot.

Really, ask the French. The Notre Dame rebuilt is finished, and that involved finding big pieces of hardwood. So there are people with recent expertise at this.

This will be interesting. As an aging nondriver living in Yokohama, I’ve been both hoping that self-driving cars become available here before I develop mobility issues and wondering how feasible they will be. Since I don’t drive, I don’t have a sense of what the roads here are like from the vehicle’s perspective. But many of the streets, including in the neighborhood where I live [1], are narrow, have no sidewalks, and are shared by cars, bicyclists, and pedestrians. Very different from, say, Phoenix.

I was in a Waymo last week in San Francisco that had a bicyclist cut in front of us, no hard breaking or jerk just a gradual decrease in speed. I would've hit the break relatively fast myself but Waymo handled it without issue in a very smooth way.

Also see https://x.com/dmitri_dolgov/status/1868778679868047545

I don't know how it'll handle significantly more pedestrians, but I assume that they're confident enough in the models and have run enough simulations to expand to Tokyo.
I can never get myself to care enough to do more than a small handful (2 to 3 per year max, if I have time in between other hobbies/family/travel and most especially work). However, my favorite restriction is to try to do incredibly terse approaches for those first few. For example, do it all in a single Python line as a large list/dict comprehension. Or do it all in a bash pipeline. Or find some way to express it all in a single line of Golang generics a-la samber/lo. Something silly that takes one of those first-few-days sub-30-minute problems and turns it into a sub-60-minute problem, but now with some amusing self-expression via extremely odd code.

The evidence is that he didn't read the postgres manual section on log-based replication[1] which would have told him how to configure a postgres master server so that it doesn't delete logs until all consumers have processed them.

It's not a five minute setup, but Dan doesn't write that the setup takes longer than five minutes - he writes that the design is fundamentally broken. Which it isn't, if you read the postgres manual. We're not even talking about the manual of the product he tried out for five minutes - we're talking about the manual of the database he's responsible for administering!

It really is. Either that or you’re not thinking about what you’re saying.

Imagine code passes your rigorous review.

How do you know that it wasn’t from an LLM?

If it’s because you know that you only let good code pass your review and you know that LLMs only generate bad code, think about that a bit.
Going to be very interesting to see how the Japanese people react to this. The service the taxi drivers provide when you take the taxi in Japan is on another level, such as waiting for you with the open door and closing the door for you as you enter. A driverless car will never be able to copy that. Japan also has very good public transportation reducing the need for a car for day to day travel so cost might be less of a factor.

It goes into public domain in the US in this case. In other countries it may remain copyrighted or already have been in public domain, depending on local laws.

In general, countries can't/don't enforce their laws outside of their territories, with lots of nuance and boundry cases.

There is zero chance that someone would "go after you" for, say, buying a copy of a Tintin book that was made without permission, in America. If you, say, wanted to publish a Tintin book and then export it to Europe, they might disallow it.
It’s not worth arguing with anyone who thinks LLMs are a fad. I just tell them that they’re right and get back to using LLMs myself. I’ll take the edge while I can.
