> asked multiple people to guess how much cheaper our healthcare would get if we forced insurance company profits to zero and redistributed their C-suite’s compensation to their covered patients. The answer is always off by orders of magnitude

The media is conflating the far-right and -left wing fringes who are celbrating Mangione as a person and his literal crime with those holding him as a symbol for their frustrations with our healthcare system.

If you're celebrating the person and the crime, you need to speak to a professional. (You're also in a minority. No, your subreddit isn't the world.) If you're upset about the system, it's reasonable to not care if you're being fucked by Bob or Alice.
Let's steelman this and ignore the portability issues C has with bitfields on ABIs. Many processors don't have a BFI instruction, so working with a bitfield will generate multiple instructions. At the scale of a large program, this can easily result in measurable code bloat and significant (single digit percent) performance overheads on the happy path.

This is actually a discussion that's been going on in the systems programming community for decades. There's a cultural aversion to the runtime costs that's always outweighed any hygiene advantages.
Unfortunately lots of things are obvious or easy after you’ve learned them but seemingly impenetrable before then. Think about calculus. I failed my first time but now it’s easy. Though I think this makes me a better teacher because it’s harder to forget that it was hard at one point.

We already have agentic systems; they're not particularly impressive (1).

There's no specific reason to expect them to get better.

Things that will shift the status quo are: MCST-LLMs (like with ARC-AGI) and Much Bigger LLMs (like GPT-5, if they ever turn up) or some completely novel architecture.

[1] - It's provable; if just chaining LLMs are a particular size into agentic systems could scale indefinitely, then you could use a 1-param LLM and get AGI. You can't. QED. Chaining LLMs with agentic systems has a capped maximum level of function which we basically already see with the current LLMs.

ie. Adding 'agentic' to your system has a finite, probably already reached, upper bound of value.

There should be a standard regulation on automakers to provide only yellow light bulbs and limits on lumens. Also, should be law to enforce it is followed and not modified.

Source?

(On one hand, it makes sense. You see the same effect in fixed-price contracting with mandated margins. On the other hand, higher prices seems to describe the providers. Not insurers. If insurers wanted to boost the cost line, they'd approve every claim.)
Sounds like a business opportunity. Make a token (Bluetooth low energy token?) that parents can place in the location where devices can be used. Either have it baked into the hardware's software (so Apple would need to support it) or sell a Wifi router that only allows the 'screen' devices to connect to wifi when the token senses the device (which would make it work for any device with wifi and Bluetooth token's ranges).
> You brought up "zero consequences for anyone responsible." Brian Thompson is dead, so that's N = 1 consequences. But you said zero. Which means you're presumably talking about lawful consequences.

I did not bring that up, I brought up more, including

Which means "Without doing what he did, there would have been zero consequences".

I also just brought this up, which is context you'll definitely be aware of, meaning it's even less likely anyone would be talking about law in this context:

> You're probably aware that the whole premise of the support behind Luigi is that US law as it is currently applied has enormous issues, so arguing what is and isn't law is not a productive avenue in the first place.

I don't think that in good faith, given the context and the entirety of my comment, you could reasonably come to the conclusion I was talking about law.
What exactly are they in denial about? They are aware that software is not a strength of theirs, so they partner with those who are great at it.

Would you say AMD is "shitting the bed" by not building it's own consoles too? You know AMD could build a kick-ass console since they are doing the heavy-lifting for the Playstation, and the XBox[1] , but AMD knows as much as anybody that they don't have the skills to wrangle studio relationships or figure out which games to finance. Instead, they lean hard in their HW skills and get Sony Entertainment/the Xbox division do what they do best.

When there's little trust between the business and IT, both are incentivized to move to the cloud.

One of my favorite successes was getting an LLM to write me a program to graph how I subjectively feel the heat of steam coming off of the noodles I'm pouring the water out from as a function of the ambient temperature.

I was wondering which effects were at play and the graph matched my subjective experience well.
We sell support, customization, ensuring packages some people care about most are supported, etc.

Also some people just pay monthly to ensure we stay viable because we save them a lot of work trying to implement and maintain what we do themselves.

Look at all the content creators that make a living on patreon etc. If you give stuff away for free people value but also make it really easy to support you, often people do.

An example outside my projects is Octoprint. Last time the founder had donations public, she was pulling in like 5k/mo for one person just doing FOSS dev for something totally free no one needs consulting for.

Our own projects individually are not that profitable as they are much more niche, so consulting makes much more sense for us.

That said, for projects that are fully open source you can get listed on opencollective so people can make tax deductible donations to specific open source projects, like the stagex project I founded: https://opencollective.com/stagex/donate

If you are going to do something for public good, make it easy for people to justify donating to you for a tax write off!
Quite unfortunately imo Google is full steam ahead building the Digital Credentials API, a standard way to have the browser present verifiable identification. Paving the way for the most ghastly intrusion of governments onto the internet; what a horrible thing to do to the internet!

It doesn't matter. A 10% false positive rate means grave injustices are being inflicted on people on a daily basis. They are being censored by the government at a corporation's whim for bogus reasons. The corporations exploit the fact people will not fight their claims because it costs time and a small fortune to do so.

Spam? Infringement? Irrelevant. Small issues compared to corporate censorship. Let it happen. Not a single person should be censored over it.
I used to hate them, too, then my mid-40s happened. I do still think UX designers go a little too ham on padding, though.

That's the rub, isn't it? Boring code tends to bore developers so we stop doing it, regret it, return to boredom, only to find ourselves listless once again..
I disagree because AI only has to get good enough at doing a single thing: AI research.

From there things will probably go very fast. Self driving cars can't design themselves, once AI gets good enough it can
Cross region from on-prem to the cloud for a website is easy. In fact, as long as you don't buy into "cloud native" ("cloud lock-in"?), it's probably more cost effective than two on-prem regions or two cloud regions.

Show HN: I built this website about Sikh History and don't know how code works
I've been learning about Sikhism and Sikh history recently and, despite having Game of Thrones level drama, I found the resources really lacking and nowhere piecing it all together.

I work in a developer adjacent role (ok, I'm a Product Manager) but despite working with software engineers every day I don't really get coding. I see a lot of stuff online about the death of software engineers and wanted to challenge myself to see if I could create something myself.

I've been using the free tier of Anthropic's Claude AI, deployed on the free Vercel tier, spent $10 on the domain but not a penny more on anything else.

It's super basic but felt good to make something myself and I learned a lot. I'd brick it at the idea of adding anything complex (or even being asked how it all works together) so I'm sure developers are safe for a while yet!
Huh? Humans are not anywhere near the limit of physical intelligence, and we have many existence proofs that we (humans) can design systems that are superhuman in various domains. "Scientific R&D" is not something that humans are even particularly well-suited to, from an evolutionary perspective.

There are abundant claims to the contrary [1][2]. (I can't find any quality data either way.)

Haskell could be a great practical language if some constraints were introduced, e.g. limiting the language extensions used. https://www.simplehaskell.org attempted to do this and, currently, https://neohaskell.org is going in the same direction. After all, Haskell '98 is not that hard.

Personally, I think Haskell, or something like Haskell, is going to be reasonably popular in the near future. Functional programming and an expressive type system are great for ML-powered synthesis. You provide the type signature, and the machine fills in the function body. Furthermore, with dependent or refinement types, the solution can be verified to be correct.
Yes, this is horrible UX design and there's absolutely no need for such inflated amounts of padding around everything.

Huge companies are the absolute worst offenders for crap like this. Seriously, have you ever tried using Facebook to manage business pages? It is unbelievably poor.

Google is by far the most hypocritical, however, because their search engine ranks pages lower for UX sins like "cumulative layout shift" while at the same time committing those sins themselves.

(Having said all that, I would not personally expect an online spreadsheet app to look great on "half a 13" screen" on first load.)
All In hosts are probably more accurately described these days as "extremely wealthy tech investors" and in that context AI hype about eliminating those software devs with their pesky salaries makes quite a bit more sense. If nothing else they'd be extremely out of step with the rest of the market saying anything different and what would they gain by rocking the boat?
> I also find it difficult to rationalize third-party dependencies these days, they almost all become disappointments over the long-term. The benefits rarely justify the risks.

What kind of software development do you do? As someone who is in ML/data science and works primarily in python, occasionally TS/React, at a small company (about 5 FTE, one round of funding), that sentence is so completely foreign to me. Again, this might just be because I am working primarily on ML systems in Python on relatively small teams (also in academia at the same time), where the most basic building blocks like Pandas (or Polars), PyTorch, XGBoost, SKLearn, etc are so essential and so it’s pretty hard to imagine ever being at a scale where they would be feasible or worth it to replace with our own code… and anyways if support for libraries like those collapses, the only explanation is that the entire landscape has shifted so much that it’s hard to imagine the underlying tech of the company not also having naturally shifted with it…

Maybe I am misunderstanding how you are using “3rd party,” or maybe you are just operating in a completely different staffing and financial context which I don’t have experience with.

Just curious for more details about what kind of world you operate in where that philosophy is viable!
But simple scaffolding, test cases, boilerplate was around before LLMs via code generators/scaffolders, so yes, it’s revised history to pretend like an LLM invented those things. None of those things are complex ideas either.

I’m not sure I understand what you’re asking though.
Semi-related but I find that sometime it just completely ruined a type of conversation.

Like as in your example, I would previously asked people "how would 911 handle an US Reservation Area", and watch how my friends think and reason. To me getting a conclusive answer was not a point. Now they just copy & paste Chat GPT, no fun haha.

Making a pong clone by telling the LLM to make a pong clone is a cute trick that sometimes works, but that's not the way anyone who understands how to properly use these tools is using them. You don't describe and app and hope the LLM builds it correctly. You have to know how to architect an application and you use the LLM to build small pieces of code. For example, you tell it to build a function that does x, takes the inputs a, b, and c and returns z.

LLMs don't turn non-coders into coders. It gives actual coders superpowers.
I will admit that the fifth amendment case isn't as clear cut as the others, by the letter of the law, but:

> nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law

I would argue that at least in some cases dmca takedown notices can deprive people of property, either by preventing them from making an income from their content, or causing them to lose access to a service for which they paid money, or have access to something of value.

I also think it deprives the poster of some degree of liberty.

Even if it isn't against the letter of the law it is against the spirit.

Is it really alien or is it more similar to how we think? We don't think purely in language, it's more a kind of soup of language, sounds, images, emotions and senses that we then turn into language when we communicate with each other.

>Hyperscalers are also more self-sufficient at software: they have entire teams working on PyTorch, Jax, and writing kernels.

None of this matters because AMD drivers are broken. No one is asking AMD to write a PyTorch backend. The idea that AMD will have twice the silicon performance than nvidia to make up the performance loss for bad software is a pipedream.

Try to make sense...

They can spend their market cap by either:

1: issuing new shares worth their market cap, diluting existing shareholders to 50%.

2: Or borrow their market cap and pay interest by decreasing profits. "AMD operating margin for the quarter ending September 30, 2024 was 5.64%" so profits would be extremely impacted by interest repayments.

Either way your suggestion would be unlikely to be supported by shareholders.

> crush the next TSMC node on Apple levels

I would guess Apple is indirectly paying for the hardware (to avoid repatriating profits) or guaranteeing usage to get to the front of the line at TSMC. Good luck AMD competing with Apple: there's a reason AMD sold GlobalFoundries and there's a reason Intel is now struggling with their foundry costs.

And it comes across as condescending to assume you know better than a successful company.

When the engine gets large enough you have to rethink the controls. The Model T had manually controlled timing. Modern engines are so sensitive to timing that a computer does this for you. It would be impossible to build a bigger engine without this automation. To a Model T driver it would look like a machine intelligence.

Nobody cares about copyright.

There is a vocal minority of us who do. But we're only slightly more useful on it than the privacy advocates, both sharing a good chunk of people who are lazy or nihlistic about the political process to the point of being politically irrelevant. As a result, a representative who brings up copyright reform gets like one call in support and zero net new votes. Meanwhile, they get powerful and patient adversaries from the Big Tech to the record companies and their billionaire artists.
Lets hope so; computer use with AI is currently absolutely terrible. It is something I expected to see far larger progress in this year but it's no better than last year.

Yes except all the existing reproducible build and independent signing channels are free software. They only do this software supply chain integrity work for free for those that provide their software for free. Also, the downstream distributions and compilations of software based on these channels, are using free software licenses, and someone -could- charge for say installing them on a new computer.

These communities should not be expected to change their entire license model to remove freedom 1, just because one proprietary software vendor has chosen to remove freedom 1.

So, fdroid, guix, arch, f-droid etc offering signed reproducible builds services for proprietary software vendors being off the table, it then becomes on FUTO to provide users an equally secure path to get their software with as good or better UX.

Right now the only way to assure you get a binary of FUTO without any malware in it is to compile it yourself. Expecting most users to do that is not a serious solution.

We could force their hand though under the terms of the license though.

Lets say I were to release a package of all the dependencies needed to compile FUTO, and on first launch it downloads the code on the fly, patches out any forced-payment or analytics, compiles it, then launches it. Their license would allow it, and it could now be distributed via free software channels technically. But users would just have a very slow first launch.

At that point FUTO loses, forcing us into hacky compliance and getting no money, vs releasing it AGPL in the first place and extending the goodwill that will make some want to donate.
