Using LLMs to write code for you is solving problems. The argument is almost like saying "using a third party library is not solving a problem on your own". If it gets the job done, it works.

I enjoy writing code, but I enjoy seeing getting a feature out even more. In fact, I don't quite enjoy the part of writing basic logic or tweaking CSS which an intern can easily do.

I don't think anybody is writing prompts all day long. If you don't actually know how to write code, maybe. But at this point, a professional software engineer still works with a code base with a hands-on approach most of the time, and even heavy LLM users still spend a lot of time hand writing code.
I thought because of the EU they have to make these private APIs public?
I'll be less rude: the US funded virus research in China. Some people argue this was wise because it gave us insight into China's bioweapons plans, or be prepared for world disasters, or whatever. It's still not entirely clear why NIH leadership thought this was a good idea, given our understanding of China's relative immaturity in working with dangerous viruses, as well as preventing that funding from going to US researchers.
> That said, you’re contradicting yourself: am I saying my country’s system is impervious to abuse, or am I admitting that it is not?

That's not me contradicting myself, it's literally quoting you contradicting yourself. Because you've made both of those arguments.

At this point, you seem to have backed off basically all of your claims about your system actually being better, leaving me with the question of what point you're trying to make at all.

> not sure if that’s accurate but it’s a scary number!

Boy, you sound like you'd be a very educated voter, LOL.

I Googled "scandanavian id fraud rate" and got 36% for Finland and 45% for Sweden out of one of the top results. So what exactly are you on about?
A good professional photo should always be taken with a smart phone.
It's a bit too late for that, since Ukraine and Russia are both already using AI-controlled drones in combat.
I can't help but feel that Git has completely missed the forest through the trees that you can make a 30+ part guide explaining how to use it.
> This is a lot better than the alternative, which is Israel being in control of Gaza. And this is coming from someone who actually has friends living in Gaza.

Did you miss the part where he explicitly envisions all Palestinians in Gaza being relocated (to another country in the middle east, of course; America won't be accepting them)? Are you naive enough to think that's going to go well?

I hope for your friends' sake that this boondoggle gets exactly as much traction as the border wall and buying Greenland.

Edit: I posted this before you acknowledged the relocation plans. However, I have to point out, FTA:

> Earlier, in the Oval Office, when he also raised the idea, a reporter asked if Palestinians relocated would have the right to return.

> "Why would they want to return?" he responded.

> "It would be my hope that we could do something really nice, really good, where they wouldn't want to return," he said. Why would they want to return? That place has been hell. It's been one of the meanest, one of the meanest, toughest places on earth," he said.
Good point! It’s random wikipedia pages, in a tiktok-ish style i.e. main article image and short summary on a page plus scrolling UX so you can easily flick through to the next one.
Pot is one of those things that makes things worse if they're already going badly.

Like alcohol or opiates will make your good life bad if you fuck too hard with them.

Pot, in my experience, won't really ruin your life unless you're already on that path.

My thing is that it's mostly harmless, but the problem with it is that young people can become complacent with it. It won't necessarily ruin your life, but you'll be content to sit and veg your life away. So not bad, but not good.
That's the problem with all weapons.

The concern with AI weapons specifically is that if something goes wrong, they might not even be in the hands of the people at all, but pursue their own objective.

Unfortunately, that hasn't been my experience. But I agree with you comment generally.
My Chinese wife says it goes on another week despite what Google calendar says (also it's not called Lunar New Year evidently)
If we're parsing at a super detailed level "Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech" seems even further away from the TikTok law, if anything.

"Apple has a first amendment right to be able to list any app it wants, regardless of source" seems like the only claim you could make. The Lamont case doesn't directly apply since the government isn't an intermediary between Apple and ByteDance saying "are you SURREEEE you want to get this app from them?" And the existence of restrictions on what you can send/receive through the mail make it clear that Lamont isn't a blanket "you can't regulate messages between people" restriction.

So is "hey Apple, don't list things that meet that criteria" different than "hey UPS, don't send things that meet this other criteria"?

AFAICT the Supreme Court didn't really consider it from this angle anyway and just looked at it as a regulation on corporate control, which also seems completely legitimate. Can the US gov't say "certain things require US-person-owned/controlled companies?" They do for other things already.
> None the less I think it gets the point across that just because you can program doesn't mean you can work at a FAANG.

This is orders of magnitude less true than the high school varsity and NBA comparison.

If someone can program well enough to be paid by someone to do it and is driven enough, I’d bet that they can get a FAANG offer at some point in their lives. Most people will fail at the drive part.

There is no level of drive that allows 99.9% of high school varsity starters to take off their warmups at a D1 university program, let alone the NBA. It will never ever ever ever happen.
>"I mean, it's legal, right?" asked the Tesla founder, before taking a drag on the joint.

"Tesla founder." You'd hope that the BBC would get right that he's not the founder but an early investor that ended up taking over the company and kicking out the original founders.
Exactly, and it's such a high success rate!

This is precisely why it enrages me when all HN discussion about Git devolves to the same stuff about how it's complex and this and that.

A technical person who has general sense about basic data structures (Leetcode nonsense not needed) can be taught Git in under 2 hours and they will retain this knowledge forever.

If you can't invest that little time to learning a tool you will use everyday and instead will spend hours Googling and blindly copy-pasting Git commands, that's on you, not on Git.
This is a made up problem with a trivial solution.
This is really neat, thanks. Their linked Visual Builder Cookbook (https://vbcookbook.oracle.com) also is a nice way to internally communicate design patterns.
We absolutely do not have data that confirms life was exceedingly harsh or shorter.

In fact, this is an age old debate in anthropology. A major discussion was sparked by a talk called "The Original Affluent Society" during a now-famous symposium which highlighted then-recent evidence that non-industrial societies generally had much more leisure time and less stress. We also know that they had much more stable food sources than agricultural counterparts and much less diseases

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man_the_Hunter

The debate has of course evolved since then and I won't recount the 50 years of research and debate that's happened but modern anthropologists are pretty much in agreement that the "nasty, brutish, and short" narrative is completely baseless.
> Is it easy and obvious how to share such links?

I barely ever FaceTime anyone. Just now after reading your comment I opened the FaceTime app. It has two big buttons:

- Create Link

- New FaceTime

And it showed a balloon tip under create link that said:

“Invite Anyone to a Call
Friends with Android and Windows devices can join a FaceTime call if you share a link.”

So yes, seems they actually made it about as obvious as it can be. Maybe even more.
This is a bit of a stretch, but it's a little like distillation, where you are extracting from the vast knowledge of the LLM and inserting those patterns into your brain. Where you have an incomplete or uncertain mental model and you ask a tutor to fill in the blanks.

Altho maybe I'm stretching the analogy too far.
The other procedural languages are also not mystically secure from soundness problems, people just fuzz them less.

In many ways I share your pessimism, but let me challenge you:

> A half assed effort is worse than no effort, because a half assed attempt can easily be weaponized

This part I'm not following. I don't see the EU effort as half-assed so much as just lacking teeth due to realpolitik. That's unfortunate but still a step in the right direction. What would you propose as an alternative? If you're just saying "we're fucked" that's a point of view, but it doesn't explain how the current attempts will be weaponized. All else being equal, I'd argue that having these issues in the global discussion is better than not. If they're not then how do they get addressed?

Not at this stage sorry, only for US. It takes a fair bit of work to filter by country. Maybe if there is a little more demand.

Surely the tariff/trade debate. The question is which side pulled this particular trigger? Yes, it could be Trump. But it could also be Xi, seeing that Trump just got cold feet vs. Mexico and thinking he could get ahead of things and force a concession.

Folks, this is why you don't engage in brinksmanship at this scale. It gets out of hand really quickly. I await the coming economic crisis (I mean, the stock market was already primed for a correction) with resigned exasperation.
Implying causality there is often misplaced. I’ve noticed some people smoke more after things start to fall apart from issues they have no control over, just as others binge eat when stressed.

It’s not a helpful coping mechanism, but there’s a reason double blind studies are considered so important. Untangling complex mechanisms especially when they have feedback in both directions is inherently difficult.
Higher taxes do genuinely restrict economic growth, so it's not like raising taxes is a magic bullet.

Personally, I think there is plenty of grift and wasteful expenditure we could look at addressing first, especially within the healthcare and defense portfolios.
I hear you. But like I said, I didn't make a personal attack or swipe. I pointed out that the person shouldn't confidently make claims for things they don't know lest they spread misinformation. It was a fair comment.

There's a lot of other benefits to the USA attracting high skill talent than just salary:

* English language school system so your kids (if you have them) will speak a world language.

* Racially and culturally diverse cultures, cuisines, and communities.

* Exposure to goods from most of the world, even if marked up.

* Availability of international franchises headquartered in other countries in major metros.

* A strong passport that offers visa-free travel to many locations and very favorable visa terms in many others.

and more.

My partner and I are (different) Asians and the higher-skilled members of our family who wanted to emigrate mostly rejected Europe because of non-English language instruction and honestly just feeling racially uncomfortable in most of Europe. I have some family in Germany (who like it there) so it's obviously not impossible, but European ethnostate thinking is just unattractive to a lot of non-Caucasian talent. Canada, UK, and Australia are not like this and have potentially a lot to gain if the US kneecaps its research bureaucracy.
I've been surprised by how differently people experience desire after transitioning. I've seen every possible combination of sexual-orientation switching in trans people. If there's a general direction, I'd say that people are more likely to be bi/pan after transitioning. IMO, transitioning is already taboo, it's not that much scarier to explore being attracted to a wider group of people.
That's an interesting idea. Just to mention though:

LiveScript is a really great language that compiles to JavaScript.

> How could this be anything to do with Reagan firing them?

Echoes.

The fired workers were replaced as rapidly as possible. That would result in massive change in the age distribution of controllers. It takes a few years to train a new controller so lets assume the youngest new hires were 22. New controllers have to be 31 and under.

Let's take the best case and assume all the new controllers are 22 through 31 and are evenly distributed in that range, and started in 1982. The group will start reaching 56 in 2007 and finish reaching 56 in 2016. That's over 11000 controllers retiring over a 10 year span.

I haven't been able to find data on the actual distribution of ages for the replacements. I'd guess that it was skewed younger, which could make that echo narrower. Maybe 11000 controllers retiring over 5 years.

If they hired enough people to replace those that group too will show up as another echo, but more spread out.
You are corrected. Who has the time to create fake accounts on this?! Traffic is too low and its a pretty lame thing to do, but believe what ever you want to.
Okay, thank you.

From what you're saying, it doesn't sound like the OS-based polling would be more power efficient, as someone in this chain suggested, just more reliable. Though, I think you can just turn off battery optimization for the ntfy app, in which case I'd expect them to be on par.

If that's right, it seems like ntfy with battery optimization turned off is effectively a "real" push notification system.
There is a supermarket chain called Big C in Thailand, and the smallest ones are called Mini Big C, which has always amused me.

> There was a time during the Reformation when they were actively burning Bible translations and executing priests who were translating Bibles

First of all, I do not know of many (any?) cases of people being executed for translating a Bible, despite that being a crime at certain points in time. Generally the given reason was for unrepentant heresy -- e.g. someone has pointed out elsewhere that what we know about Wycliffe's trial and inquisition essentially leaves out his translation entirely, focusing instead on the doctrines he espoused. You seem to have the apprehension that there were just dozens of people being thrown on the fires over this, but that's just really not the case. Translation was banned as a blanket measure to control the spread of known heretical translations (e.g. for the Oxford Synod, the Tyndale Bible), it was not a serious concern in and of itself.

> And remind me which language church services in the Latin rite are conducted in to this day?

Do you mean the Roman Rite? There is no such thing as a "Latin Rite". The distinction is important because the language most Roman Catholic services are conducted in is the vernacular one, and has been for 50+ years now. There are a handful of Latin masses (using the old Tridentine missal) still going on, but I think something like 98%+ are using the vernacular missal from Vatican II.

And honestly, even before then... the Latin parts of the Mass were largely prayers which did not change, so you tended to pick them up, especially given that there were parts where you were supposed to speak as well. It's not too hard to memorize what "Et cum spiritu tuo" means. The gospel readings and homilies were themselves in the vernacular, since of course they were longer and meant to communicate teachings to the populace. So I don't understand what your problem is -- fixed prayers being said in vernacular is somehow antithetical to good religion?

But regardless, if you want, today you can go and find a bajillion Catholic Churches doing English mass, or Spanish mass, or Chinese mass, or whatever language you're interested in.

Why? Since you are vetting the code it generates, the rate at which you end up with code you accept seems like a good measure of productivity.
I think there’s a catch, which is lag time. Even under pure capitalism, if the market doesn’t believe the money will last, prospects aren’t going to risk their careers given the training lead time required.

In the US, ATC are federal employees, aren’t they? So they are regularly furloughed, too. In the current political climate, facing the wrath of politicians doesn’t seem that unlikely, either.

The US has form in this area, too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1981_Professional_Air_Traffic_...

Even if the federal government were to “pay up”, they cannot be relied upon to honor favorable contract terms since they also have the ability to change the law.

I almost joined this company about 6 months ago and got an inside look at what they're doing while interviewing. Ended up not joining due to political stuff out of my control and unfortunately can't say much else because NDA.

I haven't really seen any significant investment going into non-LLM technology mentioned in the news anywhere.
"Education about these substances is the most important thing."

Indeed.

How do they know the reasons beavers build dams?

Obviously it's a shorthand, but the interesting thing here is that different biologists come up with different implicit reasons. To an evolutionary biologist, the reason for a behaviour is how it grants an evolutionary advantage, so to them the reason for building dams is to create deep water which provides protection from predation.

But behavioural biologists look at what triggers particular behaviours, and we actually know this one thanks to experiments: Beavers hate the sound of running water. If you set up a speaker and have it play running water sounds, beavers will pile sticks on top of it! There's no grand dam-building plan; just mindlessly placing sticks wherever the noise is coming from.
Technically correct, but it's an attempt by the federal government to increase the validity and security of state IDs, so it is relevant to this conversation about the shortcomings of state IDs and the role of the federal government in solving that problem.
