Just another counter-example, if it helps. I have never used LinkedIn once in 20 years in the industry, and I have never felt like I had a hard time finding, applying to, or getting good jobs that I was excited about.

If asked, I honestly said that I didn't want to associate myself with a site that made such heavy use of dark patterns and felt so very, very sketchy to use, and everyone respected that answer (at least to my face).

(I did have to create a LinkedIn account once, for the sake of a previous employer who wanted their small company to not look like it was just the founders who worked there, but I made it using the company email address and never updated it after creation, so I don't really count that as ME using LinkedIn, more my employer through me.)

Yeah, but if you look at the numbers, it isn't any good as a side-hustle, either. The vast majority of courses don't make enough money for the effort invested to even qualify as break-even.

I think online courses are a challenge. I've taken a number of them, and for them to work you have to get many, many things right, because you don't have the opportunities for course-correction that exist in an in-person class.
I think that's about how to think about posted online content in general. Maybe you'll hit a somewhat jackpot but if that's what you're betting on, you should probably rethink because it's very unlikely to happen. Assume you'll make ~nothing. So it's not really a side hustle. If you're not OK with that, you probably shouldn't try.
I think it's great that there's prior art that can be used as examples, proof of value, and opportunities for learning. I commend .NET for investing the resources in researching and developing this feature.

Sorry, maybe I should've been clearer in my response—I specifically disagree with the "college professor" comparison. That is to say, in the areas I've tried using them for, LLM's can't even help me solve simple problems, let alone gnarly ones. Which is why hearing about experiences like yours leaves me genuinely confused.

I do get your point about people disagreeing with modern AI for "political" reasons, but I think it's inaccurate to lump everyone into that bucket. I, for one, am not trying to make any broader political statements or anything—I just genuinely can't see how LLMs are as practically useful as other people claim, outside of specific use cases.

> The search turned up what police say is the murder weapon in the suspect’s home.

My understanding is that they connected the weapon to the murder and thus got the criminal. The problem, from my understanding, is that the "connection" was illegal and as a result they have to remove the evidence (the gun). Without that, they have no case.
Speaking as someone who comes from the opposite end of the spectrum (Scala both professionally and by personal preference) and who doesn't enjoy Go as a language, I think there's a lot to be said for a language that evolves that way. Being able to make decisions with literally years of hindsight is powerful. Looking at the top critiques here and how they've been addressed, this seems like a pretty thoroughly baked approach.

I would rather scratch my eyes out than use Go for the kind of code I write day-to-day, but Go looks amazing for the kinds of things where you can achieve high levels of boringness, which is what we should all be striving for.
No it's not. Parallel construction is when you hear Joe has coke in his car, and choose to follow Joe, pull him over when he speeds, and develop PC for a search from that. The grounds for the search of the car are independent.

Here the AI has primed them to falsely recognize the guy. There's no independence the way there is with parallel construction.
I agree it's not a big deal over the Atlantic, but over the Pacific it could really be huge.

Can’t help but wonder about the reliability and security of future software.

Given the insane complexity of software, I think people will inevitably and increasingly leverage AI to simplify their development work.

Nevertheless, will this new type of AI assisted coding produce superior solutions or will future software artifacts become operational time bombs waiting to unleash the chaos onto the world when defects reveal themselves?

Interesting times ahead.

There are known, demonstrated ways to reduce rush hour traffic that decrease energy and emissions per person.

Supersonic flight will likely increase emissions per person by a larger proportion than the time saved per person. It's a brute-force energy-wasting solution to the problem.

Arguably that’s a separate (obviously critical) concern. I think it’s worth it to abstract that away as just a step that exists in the pipeline with its own set of concerns/challenges/methods etc that really requires its own deeper study to do well.

For instance, my ML work is almost entirely in the context of engineering simulation regression/surrogate development, where data quality/cleaning is almost no issue at all - all of the work is on the dataset generation side and on the model selection/training/deployment side.

Every job is different!
What technicality?
Can confirm. FB apparently launched some kind of widespread hunt with their triggers set to feather weight sensitivity and a ton of people are being locked out and subsequently deleted. I got locked out because of a non-existent IG account that they somehow tied to my FB account. Irony is that my only IG account is not compromised by their "special action". For now at least.
I might give it a try. But honestly, I am tired. When you type out paragraphs upon paragraphs, and all you get is a template response, that isn't encouraging.
LLMs are surprisingly good at Haskell (and I'm not).

I hope for a rennaisance of somewhat more rigorous programming languages: you can typecheck the LLM suggestions to see if they're any good. Also you can feed the type errors back to the LLM.

The military does not have relatively silent supersonic flight. Only a few US military aircraft models are even capable of supersonic flight, and they're plenty loud. In order to avoid complaints they normally they only fly that fast over designated exercise areas.

The Boom aircraft incorporates some quiet supersonic technology but until they actually test it they won't know whether it's actually quiet enough.

> It's a problem with people using LLMs for something they're not supposed to be used for.

To me the problem is that there's absolutely no way to know what an LLM is or is not "supposed" to be used for.
The case isn’t thrown out. The evidence obtained through an illegally obtained warrant is suppressed. They can still gather and use any other evidence to prove his guilt.
Over the arctic is probably the ideal route for flights like this considering it solves the problem of it being very very cold and normal flight sensors don't work in supersonic flights anyway so that wouldn't be an issue either.
I don’t see why people are so upset about this. Mexico is in the continent of North America. if they were trying to rename it to “Gulf of the United States” or something then that would be less reasonable.

I'd recommend that anyone who is interested in the nitty gritty details of the Challenger disaster, and anyone who is in an engineering position and signs off of safety approvals, to read "Truth, Lies, and O-Rings" by Allan McDonald. He was the Thiokol program manager who refused to sign the Thiokol safe-to-fly memo but was overruled by executives. The STS-4 erosion is discussed, as is erosion in the Minuteman missile system which has a similar joint design as the Shuttle SRB. The book is very technically detailed, probably too detailed for the non-engineering general public to appreciate. But any reader will be appalled by the corporate and government malfeasance that lead the the disaster, and the attempts that were made to cover it up.

It's what a private jet charter costs now. I bet rich execs prefer that despite the longer flying time. Getting direct to your destination, not having to rub shoulders with random people, stuff like that. It's also what killed the Concorde. Not enough comfort for the price.

That's likely only the marginal cost of training this model, and doesn't include a lot of other costs, like the datacenters and GPUs themselves which they already had and also the staff.

> Why would it be surprising to see China with its capital and human resources catch up with the West and surpass it?

Because the message that diversity === strength is a powerful one. Plenty of people simply cannot wrap their heads around how positive an effect homogeneity can have on results; their built-in PC filters cut in before they even get to the thought.

I've observed decades of how, in the west, not only can you simply not say something, but any insinuation that you are thinking it is liable to result in consequences for wrong-think.

I think the east is going to catch up and surpass the west in science and technology. The best way to prevent this is to seed their society with the same ideological tarpit that the west finds itself in and hope like hell it catches on so that they too can have enforced inclusivity training on company time.

> military does not have relatively silent supersonic flight

We have one plane—soon to be retired—that can supercruise, i.e. sustain supersonic flight without afterburners, the F-22 [1]. It’s absolutely incorrect to treat this technology as anything but bleeding edge.

>> In what way will this be better than the Concorde?

Well it's a modern design for one. IIRC the Concorde was given an exemption to one of the FAA standards in the US that requires that a catastrophic engine failure not be able to affect another engine. The Concorde could not meet this due to the way the engines were paired right next to each other, and that is one contributing factor to the last crash - one engine failed and took out the other on the same side. This new design is probably going to be cheaper in terms of maintenance as well, which was another problem with Concorde.
I believe that. I have always felt that way about Facebook and X. But for whatever reason, I just never saw LinkedIn in that light. I guess I have been too comfortable with LinkedIn and never had a wake up call until now.
They did the most spam-forward and deceptive growth-hack campaign of all the social networks that I have been forced to join. Straight up lying to everyone’s contacts:
“person with hiring authority asked you to join today”,
“Person you know professionally is waiting for your response to join”, “why are you keeping person with power over
your professional life waiting?”.
It was one of the largest misinformation campaigns ever created to bootstrap this obnoxious social network for grandstanding about work accomplishments. They hijacked everyone’s contact lists to spam their colleagues with emails that blatantly misrepresented things, with vague professional setbacks implied for not complying.
Screw the jerk who presided over this deception.

*Edit, just looked back on these and it really was outright deception. They would spam messages by your contacts written in the first person "I would like to connect", "I'd like to add you to my professional network." signed by them. Impersonating people for profit is definitely on the wire fraud spectrum. Screw that guy.

> The panic around deepseek is getting completely disconnected from reality.

Couldn’t agree more! Nobody here read the manual. The last paragraph of DeepSeek’s R1 paper:

> Software Engineering Tasks: Due to the long evaluation times, which impact the efficiency of the RL process, large-scale RL has not been applied extensively in software engineering tasks. As a result, DeepSeek-R1 has not demonstrated a huge improvement over DeepSeek-V3 on software engineering benchmarks. Future versions will address this by implementing rejection sampling on software engineering data or incorporating asynchronous evaluations during the RL process to improve efficiency.

Just based on my evaluations so far, R1 is not even an improvement on V3 in terms of real world coding problems because it gets stuck in stupid reasoning loops like whether “write C++ code to …” means it can use a C library or has to find a C++ wrapper which doesn’t exist.
> I struggle with every word in long form writing.

So does every good writer. A full workload for a fast fiction writer is ~1000 words a day. That's, like, an aspiration for most full-time professional novelists.

There's a (probably legendary) story about Oscar Wilde telling someone who asked what he'd done that day, "I spent this morning putting a comma in, and this afternoon taking it out again."

Good writing is hard. LLMs may someday be able to write well, but they're nowhere near it yet. (They can write mediocre prose, which is considerably better than the median human, but I expect something like the 80-20 rule will come into play long before they're truly good.)

Anyway, I'm trying to tell you that you write well, and that you shouldn't feel bad (quite the contrary!) that you have to work at it.

(This comment took me eight minutes to write.)
I never had a pebble. Also, I was really skeptical of the Flipper Zero, but my curiosity finally got the best of me and I bought one. I love their app ecosystem and the whole experience of using it. If Pebble 2 has that kind of UX, it's going to be really awesome.
Garmin instinct fixes this. Rugged, physical buttons with a battery life that last weeks. It's true about the special charger, but there are also usb-c adapters.
no they are not, they intentionally remove every reference to this not being r1 from the cli and changed the names from the ones both Deepseek and Huggingface used.

I think a lot of people here are missing the point. The idea isn't to just replicate Concorde's flights across the Atlantic Ocean - or any stretch of water for that matter. Their plan would be to have this thing flying over land. The noise issue will be solved either through some feat of engineering or political lobbying. The cynic in me believes it will be mostly the latter.
