Essentially you're paying human to be a proxy between the requirements, LLM and codebase. Some people I'm talking to lament having to pay top dollar to their junior (and other kinds I'm sure) devs for this, but I think this is and will be the new reality and new normal. And instead we should start thinking how to make best of it, and how to help maximize success for these devs.

Few decades down the road though we are likely to be viewing this current situation similar to how we're looking at 'human computers'[0] of yesteryear.

What is not explained in the article is how China is "weakening the value of its currency".

The answer to that question may offer a new insight on the situation, and help decide whether it's good/bad and for whom.

As I understand, weakening one's currency (in real terms) is not an easy thing to do. As an example, in the case of the Greece economic crysis mentioned in the article, Germany was considered as having benefited from the common currency (Euro, shared among others with Greece) to maintain a stable currency while sustaining a high positive trade balance.

What I suspect is happening is that China is buying US treasury bonds (exchanging Yuan for USD in the process), thus supporting the value of the USD.
This analysis is largely drawn from the book Winning Pawn Structures by Baburin (1998), which the blog author credits. Most chess books do not keep their relevance past 5 years, so it's a great testament to the quality of the book that it's still highly esteemed today.

Baburin is a Russian-born Grandmaster who came to Ireland around 1993. You might think the popularity of this book would have led to a generation of Irish players who specialized in IQP positions. But instead the opposite seemed to happen: it bred a generation who assumed their opponents had read the book, felt they hadn't mastered it themselves, and avoided those positions with both Black and White.

A contributing factor was that this book was more difficult for young intermediate players to grasp than an openings manual, where you can improve your results just by memorising a few extra lines. Perhaps also that there just wasn't the same culture of chess and chess education that other European countries had: Irish players just weren't used to being taught how to play the middlegame.
What have we learned from the probe images about the surface of Titan?
Is it really AI or an excuse for a COVID / low interest rates over-hire?

I find it very confusing that everyone took the AI narrative at face value, and the AI "replacement" as fait accompli. Did it happen at all? At best, AI is intern level right now.

You should apply that logic to Israel, since they are by far the most violent.
> If Hamas gains full control over an independent state of Palestine, and sets up an apartheid system where Palestinians maintains a systemic oppression against non-Palestinian Jews, then we can dismiss their prospects. But until then, we should only dismiss the prospects of those that actually are committing the crimes, which is the state of Israel

I think after Oct 7, we can safely agree that this experiment has already happened and we know the answer.

The insurance is with anyone. They own the house, not you, and so they want to ensure it's not going to burn down (or more likely get washed away in a flood, where I live) and be irrecoverable, so they require you have the home insured. They care naught for contents insurance, just the house/building.

Works fine. Reverse chronological sorting with just who you follow.

For automated... apart from self host RSS options or nitter instance, neither of which I've tried...

For semi automated I have a manual but not too laborious google sheet:

https://imgur.com/a/S5xTlPp

Uses:
https://github.com/dimdenGD/OldTwitter

https://github.com/BlackGlory/copycat

TLDR workflow:

1. open "old" twitter

2. scroll down multiple pages (autopagination supported)

3. search for C2 which contains first 20 characters of last tweet in the sheet

4. copyeverything from that point to first tweet (basically all new tweets since reverse chronological sorted), use copycat to copy the BB code

5. paste BB code in sheet F4 (yellow column), I have a bunch of helper columns in another tab that parses through the code to which sorts into date, url, username, tweet

6. i have another page with list of usernames and next to them labels/tag (emoji)

7. run a script, and it outputs everything into a digest, sorted by label/tag, then user, then tweet from oldest to newest

I spend a few minutes in the morning finding where i left off previous day, copy paste, and run script and it gives me a digest of last 24 hours of tweets.Before this, it was hooked into nitter list RSS which auto refreshed and did it all automatically. Before that there was a nice service called streamspigot or something that did it all with API access. It is unnessicarily annoying / difficult to just get a daily digest of tweets you're interested in.
Fundamentally, no matter how far we deep, there's always going to be that final "just because".

I guess GDPR is a good idea, but in practice it has limited value. I suppose all that is needed is that the user accepts (consents) by answering yes to a popup question. It can be asked over and over. If you answer yes by accident at some point you are screwed. You can maybe(?) retract your answer, but maybe you don't even know you answered yes at some point when you were stressed and had to drive somewhere, while your nav/media system asked you this question.

The main problem is that this sort of thing (tracking of cars and storing the data in a central database) is considered normal by corporations and is allowed by law. Would we like to have big corporations place private detectives outside our houses and when we leave they follow our every step, take photos, record audio and track our GPS position and report all that data to the corporation in realtime? That is what they do now with their cars and phones and appliances. The reason they did not do it in the past was that it was expensive to have private detectives track each of their customers, was considered spooky and abnormal and it was probably also illegal, but now it is cheap and somehow considered normal.
I don't know about that. The Iberian peninsula is not historically at much risk for natural disasters, and we now suffer alternating forest fires and floods pretty much every year...
Oh yes, these things are exactly equivalent. Problem is, nothing about the health system's incentives aligns with consumer benefit. The most profitable outcome for an insurer is that everyone pays premiums and never uses any services. The most profitable outcome for hospitals is that they charge maximum prices for every service and yet don't really fix underlying problems or prevent future problems. Hospitals profit the most off patients that need a ton of care and have deep pockets. They lose money on giving care to people who cannot afford it and won't pay. They lose money in the long run when preventive care prevents later catastrophic (and expensive) conditions later. Pretty much all of the profit-maximizing forces in the for-profit system are deeply unethical.

If you're going to tell us that because health care providers and health insurance companies are some kind of magic counterbalance against each other that benefit consumers, uh, nope.
Afaik most of them require you to find the trillionth term, rendering naïve approaches futile.
21% of Israel's population is Arab - they have lived side by side with the Jews there for centuries. Why on earth would the Jews displace some of the Arabs and give full citizenship to the others if they just wanted the land?

I hate your pseudo-intellectualism - "uncook your priors" indeed. You've roasted your priors and burnt your likelihood.
I disagree. If anything, CS degrees have proven time and time again they aren't translatable into software development (which is why there's an entire degree field called Software Engineering emerging).

If anything, my gut says that the CS concepts are very easy for LLMs to recall and will be the first things replaced (if ever) by AI. Software engineer{ing,s} (project construction, integrations, scaling, organizational/external factors, etc) will stick around for along time.

There's also the meme in the industry that self-taught, non-CS degree engineers are potentially of the most capable group. Though this is anecdotal.
? Have you opened a history book? The whole pre-WW2 situation was a malthusian trap. The colonial empires starved out whole continents on the periphery of their empires. Thats how japan and germany turned to hyper-imperialism in the first place.

Assuming it's a real trend rather than hype/excuses... It'll be interesting to see all the bugs and maintenance headaches that occur on a delay. That said, the job market can probably stay irrational longer than I can stay solvent.

I expect to lean heavily on softer skills like "being able to collaborate with product owners help them figure out what they actually want to build", or "able to usefully simplify concepts in a way that helps non-developers make decisions."

There are people on HN far better qualified than I to discuss both orbital mechanics and spacecraft safety assessments but I'll give it a layman's stab based purely on the high-level concepts (which is all I know).

They know there's little to no risk to aircraft or people hundreds or thousands of miles to the East of a Starship RUD in orbit because they know exactly what's inside Starship and how it's built. They model how it will break up when traveling at these insane speeds and how the metal masses will melt and burn up during re-entry. They actually test this stuff in blast furnaces. It's a statistical model so it's theoretically possible a few small bits could make it to the ground on rare occasion, so we can't say debris will never happen - but there's been a lot of history and testing and the experts are confident it's extremely safe.

The case of the MIR space station was very different than a Starship. MIR was built a long time ago by the Soviet Union and they used a big, heavily shielded power plant. That lead shielding was really the part that had a significant risk of not burning up fully on re-entry. Starship, Starlink satellites and other modern spacecraft are now usually designed to burn up on reentry. However, there are still some things in orbit and things we'll need to put in orbit in the future that won't entirely burn up on reentry. There will always be a very small risk of an accidental uncontrolled reentry causing a threat. However, these risks are vanishingly small both because we design these spacecraft with redundant systems and fail-safes and because Earth is mostly uninhabited oceans, much of our landmasses are unpopulated or sparely populated, even in the unlikely event one of the few spacecraft with a large mass that won't entirely burn up has failed and is de-orbiting out of control, we can still blow it up - and timing that at the right moment will still put it down in a safe place (like it did with MIR). There's no such thing as absolute 100% perfect safety. But you're far, far more likely to die from a great white shark attack than be injured by satellite debris.

More to the point, a huge number of meteorites hit Earth every year and it's estimated over 17,000 survive to hit the surface. There are a bunch listed right now on eBay. Do you know anyone injured by any of the 17,000 space rocks that crashed into our planet this year or any airliners hit by one?

That simple? You probably couldn't even list all the things the DVLA is responsible for. I also doubt you could list all the laws and policies relating to driver licenses.

And you would be shocked at how expensive big rewrites actually are.
Yes that is true, but there are other ways to see spiky-like behavior.

First, the volume of spheres (or balls rather) in higher dimensions goes to zero as the dimension grows. Said another way, to keep unit volume on a ball you need to grow the radius more and more (which I interpret as spiky).

Second, the volume of spherical caps grows like ~exp(- d h^2 /2), in particular the caps lose volume fast in higher dimensions. To interpret this as "spikyness" I like to visualize it as two balls intersecting (which is just 2x the cap volume). If they are of the same radius, but their centers are just slightly off their intersection volume goes to zero quickly!
A small-scale contractor doesn't have a price list, but a real estate developer who builds an entire subdivision at a time definitely has a price list. There might be taxes and fees on top of that, but everyone expects that anyway. At least the base product should have a clear price tag.

If I can tell in advance whether your SaaS product costs $10/seat/mo or $100/seat/mo, I'll probably feel more comfortable asking whether the custom integration work will cost $50k or $100k.
Yikes. Searching around a bit, it seems people frequently use an Elgato capture card or similar to interface with OBS
Another very good guide to IQP is it's chapter in Chess structures: A grandmaster guide by Mauricio Flores Ríos.

IQP is, if you ask me, bread and butter of chess and should be introduced to begineers way earlier than it tends to be. Plans for both sides are clear and thematic (consequently less memorization in opening is needed), it's imbalanced and based on piece play (consequently tactics and calculation) more than on abstract considerations.
Why would you want to continue working at such a place as a developer?
It's not like it's hard to find another job as developer...
I'm reminded of a company I used to work for that had one sales guy with with a phone, you called him and he would quote a price and ask if you wanted it. I sat across from him. He never left his desk.

After a year, our company was bought and merged with a competitor and we got to see how their sales team worked.

They had a dozen sales guys doing the exact same job as our man, however, they met with prospective clients, had lunch, and 'worked the field'.

Our one man with a phone outsold all of the others combined.

Having a more efficient sales process can be a game changer.
I'll confess I was sceptical about this but, at minimum, the database seems to exist.

There's a company called Carfax that I'd never heard of. Their EU site seems to provide basic reports about the VIN, whether the car has been written off, etc. Those basic "Is this car sale a scam?" checks are common in the UK.

But the site also makes a big deal about "Get the American report!" So I googled "Carfax oil change" and found people talking about the oil change history in the reports [0]

In the UK it was traditionally common to keep a car log book where you recorded all maintenance and might get the garage to put their stamp on it, to prove to a future buyer that you'd looked after the car. But having a garage enter that info into some random company's database, and maybe not telling me, would be disappointing.

I disagree. A lot of DevOps is using abstractions, yes. But using a Terraform module to deploy your managed database without reading the code and checking all options is the same as using a random library without reading the code and checking all parameters in your application. People skimping on important things exist in all roles.

> people tell you "just use this helm chart or ansible recipe from some github repo to do what you want". What those things really install? Not documented. What can you configure? Check the code.

I mean, this is just wrong. Both Ansible roles and Helm charts have normalised documentations. Official Ansible modules include docs with all possible parameters, and concrete examples how they work together. Helm charts also come with a file which literally lists all possible options (values.yaml). And yes, checking the code is always a good idea when using third party code you don't trust. Which is it you're complaining about, that DevOps people don't understand the code they're running or that you have to read the code? It can't be both, surely.

> Coming from the dev world it feels like the infrastructure ecosystem still lives in a tribal knowledge model.

Rose tinted glasses, and bias. You seem to have worked only with good developer practices (or forgotten about the bad), and bad DevOps ones. Every developer fully understands React or the JS framework du jour they're using because it's cool? You've never seen some weird legacy code with no documentation?
They have money and want to make more money? This seems like a straightforward question to answer.
I think it's you who doesn't understand how science works, making claims like the fact that Evolution needing something like nuclear fusion to explain longevity of stars, and nuclear fusion existing, must then mean Evolution is real.

According to the Scientific Method (which I obviously must not understand) an honest researcher would posit an hypothesis (which ideally should be falsifiable, unlike Evolution, or Creation for that matter) and then should rather try to prove that hypothesis false. That's what I do at my SE job. If you are unable to prove a falsifiable hypothesis as false, chances are you're right.

You see, because Evolution and Creation are not falsifiable, they need a certain amount of faith to be accepted. I acknowledge my faith in God, and I acknowledge that I cannot scientifically and undeniable prove the existence of God or Creation through purely empirical methods. That's actually a necessary aspect of it. I do, however, see a lot of evidence which points me to that way, and it points me to that way because of where (or rather, on who) my faith is placed.

You, like it or not, do have faith too, but it is placed in a different set of persons and scriptures. You have faith in Modern Science. It's a faith, a 'trust' if you will, you choose to risk having in a lot of data that, by the way, you cannot possibly have had the chance to validate personally.

I invite you to honestly reflect on that.

This will most likely be my last response because at this point I am not sure this conversation is constructive at all.

> I've also just never seen the separation of CSS and HTML actually provide practical value.

I would pay really good money to have a library of web components that implemented only the document structure using semantic HTML and the Javascript interactivity, and kept all the styling on a separate CSS file. Something like headless-ui, but without any of the utility classes.

Then we could move on from these template marketplaces (where each dev has to reimplement their own widgets for each different javascript framework), and we would have a simpler marketplace of "Web Component Themes".
There's also the question of the amount of footgun you give to developers. While iOS is more performant than Android, Google gives Android developers much more guidance in best practices and patterns that help developers avoid issues around architecture, injection, state and threading.

I've seen many iOS projects overwhelmed by tech debt while its Android counterpart was still OK-ish. I don't believe this is coincidence.

So how hard is it to apply React Native the correct way? Having a dedicated team of dozens of engineers including native experts for each platform is different than your average 4-8 people dev (web, API, iOS, Android) team. Let alone if you only have people experienced in web doing the work.

When I build Swift applications the fact they have sub 500ms loads is not an achievement, they're simply already doing that without me trying. But I have found the right way to build iOS apps myself over the years, very little help from Apple.
