I personally have been using LLMs as coding aids for 1-2 years for my personal fun/toy projects (at work I'm a pure manager these days), and there's just no question that they make me way more effective at churning out higher quality code [than I could write on my own, without the LLM]. I don't have a scientific figure, but I feel I'm getting at least a 2-3x productivity boost, and if I were to invest more time into injecting LLMs into more workflows it would be even more.

If I were to boostrap my own startup today, I feel I'd definitely need to hire less juniors to churn out code, instead I'd invest my own time to leverage LLMs increase my own efficiency to be more productive.

Very interesting, but also pretty complicated.

He sued also because of using Cloudfront, but lost that part.

He won because of Login by Facebook. But I assume he must have had an active Facebook account to use that. Wouldn't that be consent? I assume Facebook terms of usage and privacy policy allow transfer to the US.

Can an indivual sue in the EU court of justice? I thought only national courts can send a case there if they feel unsure about how to interpret EU legislation.

Not sure what I'll do when Grok 3 comes out (I expect it to beat every other LLM out there hands down) but we'll see by then :p
There is no potential with CO2.

Have you worked out how much CO2 would be needed? How to prevent mixing with air? How it will be stored and deployed? How many people might die should there be a container breach?

The first two seem mind-boggling.

"Strategic barriers to the spread of the fire" are called firebreaks. As https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firebreak points out:

> ... it is still sometimes possible for fire to spread across a seemingly impenetrable divide. For example, during the Cedar Fire of 2003, strong Santa Ana winds had blown enough burning embers across a 10-lane section of Interstate 15 to ignite the vegetation on the other side.[3] During the 1988 fires in Yellowstone National Park, hot embers managed to cross the Lewis Canyon, a natural canyon up to a mile wide and 600 feet (180 m) deep.

Have you any thought for how large these tarps will need to be? 10 lanes is 120 feet.

Fire crews already make firebreaks by using machines to clear out vegetation. They'll need a machine to lay out this enormous tarp.

And where there isn't a road (which is its own firebreak), it will be hard to get any machine.
I think California is an at-will state, so you wouldn’t need cause to terminate.
But I see so many devs typing here saying how vital AI is to their writing code efficiently and quickly now. If that is true then you need way less devs. Are people just sitting idle at their desks? I do see quite a bit of tech layoffs for sure. Are you saying devs aren't part of the workers being laid off?

Beyond the obvious fact that wasting the last of your friend's life by pushing him to become a one-subject experiment from a random pubmed article is bad. HN is a tech nerd VC forum, and as a rule, nobody here knows anything about medicine. Even if there are one or two actual subject matter experts in this thread, you can't distinguish them from every idiot who thinks they are god's chosen genius because mommy got them an Apple II when they were kids.

Nor powered up at all stages of assembly.

I didn't spend a ton of time at the plant, but there was one notable visit where I got to camp out at the station where, for the first time, a 12-volt power supply alongside the assembly line would be temporarily patched into the half-completed vehicle. This allowed all the modules that'd been added so far, to boot up and do some self-checks. There were certain missing sensors and communication errors that were expected at that point and would be ignored, but plenty of errors that _would_ be raised so they could be fixed while they were still easy-ish to reach, before the seats and trim panels started going in.
I am comparing it to the low cost alternative.

Telling people that you're terminally ill doesn't necessarily mean you're desperate to avoid death. It can be that you want to make the most of the time you have left, or ask for help with doing that, or need reassurances about protecting loved ones, a legacy, getting creative or scholarly work out into the world, or need help dealing with your fears/regrets or...many other things.

I don't get this existential fear of death many people have. Entropy is a fundamental fact fo existence. I think a lot of people are fer less concerned with dying as such than they are with minimizing the suffering, loss of autonomy, or inability to prepare that often precedes it.
The problem is evil sociopathy. Ironically, you can't see it.

This isn't meant to persuade you, just sharing my own experience. I've found myself almost relying on Kagi's `Quick Answer`. Its fantastic having it off by default and being able to opt-in when I just want a quick summary of some brief search where the info cards don't give me what I want right away.
I love it too, and I do think it's expensive, too.

A lot of people laugh at thinking $10 (USD) pm is expensive, of course it's not huge money for most people. The problem is Kagi is a kind of "vote" towards moving the internet away from the ad-supported crapware trying to spy on your every click and capture your attention non-stop. If you're trying to replace a lot of free services with paid services to cast said vote towards shaping the web into what it should be, these costs really add up.

After paying for search, email, supporting a creator or two (e.g. a podcast), and some software here or there, you can easily end up in the hundreds of dollars, then you look back and notice that at best you've saved yourself from a few annoying ads and maybe gotten a fractionally better service and at worst your experience is unchanged and you're just deriving some intangible satisfaction from having not been spied on (which at the individual level doesn't make much difference unless millions of people follow your lead) or supporting a creator you admire.

It's tough.
Counter-counterargument: "So as long as there is good documentation" feels a bit like relying for success on the least important deliverable to people funding a project, and least interesting process step to people building it, going really well.
That doesn't mention Google anywhere in it that I can find.
Your estimate is late by almost 20 years - the first of that generation graduated high school ten years ago.

But the problem is that over those ten years google docs mostly feels like it’s been enshittified. Today’s office suites all suck I just want office 2007 or the google docs beta experience back - those were snappy and obvious how to use. Even basic stuff like linear regression in excel is terrible UX these days

And so mostly they don’t care to push it and if they do it’s not a material over modern office anyway.

That's not how it works. It's not "your job is done by an AI now", it's "you have an AI to help with these specific tasks, so the team is now half the size and you each get twice as much work".
One major disturbance to 1) in CA is Prop 13

Property Taxes in CA are determined based on the time of purchase. They are only allowed to go up 2% per year, while the rise in market value increases much faster. Meaning that you are highly incentivized to hold on to property, thereby reducing supply more so than other property markets in the US.

This kinda distorts 3) as well, since you also want to protect that investment and then you get NIMBY stuff too. CA is trying to fix things by disallowing cities from blocking new construction, but it's slow going. on the legal side.
TIL autism has been linked to environmental factors like metabolic syndrome during the first trimester of pregnancy, air pollution, and pesticide exposure. Some of these frequently co-occur with specific gene mutations. [1][2] There's a good argument that everyone has more exposure to everything on that list nowadays. Increased diagnoses would then make a lot of sense.

Teasing out the specifics of how much each of these contribute and separating that out from possible confounders like greater screening and others does seem like a tough study to design.

Backslash is a valid path character (you can use / or \ as the path separator on windows) so if the backslash isn’t actually escaping anything it is left as-is.
Don't equate solder to (liquid) metal touching other metal. Soldering is a chemical reaction between metals, and it needs a pretty high temperature for that to occur. The solder simply touching the other metals isn't enough, those are commonly called cold joints, because the chemical reaction didn't happen, only the mechanical melting and freezing did.
It’s not even here in the product/research sense. First, as the author points out, it’s better characterized as operator-assisted semi-autonomous driving in limited locations. That’s great but far from autonomous driving.

Secondly, if we throw a dart on a map: 1) what are the chances Waymo can deploy there, 2) how much money would they have to invest to deploy, and 3) how long would it take?

Waymo is nowhere near a turn-key system where they can setup in any city without investing in the infrastructure underlying Waymo’s system. See [1] which details the amount of manual work and coordination with local officials that Waymo has to do per city.

And that’s just to deploy an operator-assisted semi-autonomous vehicle in the US. EU, China, and India aren’t even on the roadmap yet. These locations will take many more billions worth of investment.

Not to mention Waymo hasn’t even addressed long-haul trucking, an industry ripe for automation that makes cold, calculated, rational business decisions based on economics. Waymo had a brief foray in the industry and then gave up. Because they haven’t solved autonomous driving yet and it’s not even on the horizon.

Whereas we can drop most humans in any of these locations and they’ll mostly figure it out within the week.

Far more than lowering the cost, there are fundamental technological problems that remain unsolved.

To people with a heart, yes, that’s a bug.

For everyone else? It’s a feature.

The cruelty is the point.
Where's the economic proof of impossibility? As far as I know Waymo has not published any official numbers, and any third party unit profitability analysis is going to be so sensitive to assumptions about e.g. exact depreciation schedules and utilization percentages that the error bars would inevitably be straddling both sides of the break-even line.

> with no evidence that the system can generalize, profitably, outside the limited areas it’s currently in

That argument doesn't seem horribly compelling given the regular expansions to new areas.

They inappropriately brought it up, and you inappropriately perpetuated it. I downvoted both.
Hydrogen as done by Toyota was a sales an lobbying tactic. By setting an undoable target (or a target too far in the future), they could push for more gasoline cars and less strict emission regulations in the meantime.

Now this tactic has run its course and they are considering of what to do next.

What I want is for e.g. "x OR y" where y is NULL (and/or of nullable type) to be an error rather than silently giving surprising results. Just like in a decent programming language I can't do x || y where x and y are of type boolean?, I have to explicitly handle the case where one or other of them is null (or e.g. write x!! || y!! - and that will at still error if either is null rather than silently evaluating to a funny result).
I recently had to switch from Jetbrains to VSCode for Go development and it took days of troubleshooting to get the debugger working. I don't even remember what the problem ended up being offhand.

And that's in addition to having to acclimate myself to completely different and objectively worse syntax highlighting (you can customize the colors of more types of tokens using Jetbrains syntax highlighting system), worse global find+replace, and losing all Intellisense features (hovering on types, ctrl+click to type definitions, etc.) whenever there is a syntax error anywhere in the entire repo.

Learning and hearing facts is good, we can at least agree on that in principle. Whether that applies in practice or not, remains to be seen.
But in a _relational_ database lack of spouse would not be modeled with a nullable column "spouse" but rather an absence of a spouse row/relation. Which is very real-world-like.
It could mean anything or nothing depending on context, which is part of the problem. (Plenty of people think the meaning of NULL is clear and obvious and consistent, unfortunately they give different answers about what that meaning is)

> If your signup form has an optional field for middle name which I don’t fill, it can absolutely be because I don’t have a middle name.

The fact that some NULLs are indeed undefined doesn’t contradict my point that it would be inaccurate to refer to all NULLs as UNDEFINED.

> It’s undefined and known to be so… And because four value logic was left out, nulls have to fulfil multiple incompatible roles, and ends up being weird.

You know it to be undefined, but if you just leave that field blank on the form, the database still can’t know whether that’s because you don’t have one or because you didn’t provide the one you have, unless there was a field on the form that allowed you to explicitly indicate that you don’t have one.

I've got one of these too. When I was 6 or 7 I read a book in the school library in which the villains were "bone people" and the heroes were space explorers. The bone people could read minds, so they could tell everything the heroes were planning and thwart them.

Eventually the heroes learn to keep their true thoughts in the back of their minds, where the bone people can't access them, and with this technique they defeat the bone people. It was the best book I'd ever read (up till then!) and I remember practicing keeping my thoughts in the back of my mind.

I've been trying for years to find this book again. Anybody have ideas?

Edit: it occurred to me that I should try an LLM, so I pasted the above text into O1 and, in a combination of anticlimactic and thrilling, it gave the answer straightaway. The book is https://www.amazon.com/Bone-People-Space-Science-Fiction/dp/... and the title is, er, "Bone People". Thanks ChatGPT!

Edit 2: having now read the OP (and it's great), I see that the ChatGPT angle was already in there. But it produced an opposite result in my case.

> guess hope can be false now

"Hope is false if it is based on ignorance of the correct assessment of the probability that a desire is fulfilled or on ignorance with regard to the desirability of the object of desire. Hope is justified—realistic—when the hoping person knows and accepts experts’ judgement about the probability of hope fulfillment. However, I argued, what matters for evaluating a person’s hope is not only whether it is realistic, but also whether it is reasonable in light of the aim and goals for which the person strives in (the remainder of) his life

...a person’s hope that an (experimental) treatment may prolong his or her life or improve the quality of his or her life can only be called false when he or she thinks that the chances of personal benefits are greater than those estimated by experts. If he or she does accept their judgement, continuing to hope is realistic. Hope is moreover reasonable if it contributes to realizing what a person strives for in (the remainder of) his life" [1].

Ya, the hydrogen attempt was a Japanese government geopolitical push. It's not a coincidence that both Toyota and Honda were the only co's to come out with almost an identical model hydrogen car. Raw inputs, fossil fuels and the metals needed for batteries, are weak points of Japan's position. They wanted an automotive solution that was purely technology-based so they weren't at the mercy of who holds metals for batteries. Unfortunately, as practically everyone on HN knew for a decade, this was never going to be viable and it's a shame so much resources were wasted in the attempt.
I've never considered the run of the mill management consultants as engineers, and yeah, I haven't worked in/as a technical consultant.
Good example of everything that can wrong with a prediction market if left unchecked. Don't like that Waymo broke your prediction? Fine just move your goalposts. Like that prediction came true but on the wrong timeframe? Just move the goal posts.

Glad Polymarket (and other related markets) exist so they can put actual goal posts in place with mechanisms that require certain outcomes in order to finalize on a prediction result.
California has a regulatory rulemaking process for insurance rate-making, which prevents insurers from setting the rates they'd need to stay solvent in California's wacky combination of ultra-high property prices and ultra-high exposure to catastrophic risk. The result is insurers leaving the market.
I think hydrogen does still have potential, just not for regular consumer vehicles. In cases where weight matters like flight, batteries just aren't near good enough now or anytime in the near future due to weight. In cases where you need monstrous amounts of energy between fueling/charging like ocean going cargo ships, batteries are again not anywhere near now or in the near future even close to sufficient. And in scenarios where there aren't safety concerns because consumers simply have no access to it and crashes/accidents are extremely rare, like with trains or large energy storage, hydrogen doesn't really have any real downsides compared to batteries but has plenty of upsides.

I still have hope for hydrogen fuel usage, but to me it has never made sense to try and push for consumer level hydrogen powered devices and cars. You can't just ignore an old hydrogen fuel tank in like an old junker car even if it is 99% empty, eventually that tank will pop and is a safety hazard. Where someone might accidentally damage or crash a vehicle with a hydrogen storage tank, it won't be just a localized fire, it is just a straight up massive bomb. And the extremely high pressures and/or cryogenic temperatures are not and never will be fool-proof enough for just the regular joe blow to have control over or easy access to it for refueling.
