I don’t really get this attitude either way. I expect my junior devs to use all the tools at their disposal, including LLMs, to solve the problems I give them. These problems are rarely so rote that an LLM can just do them- there tends to be a great deal of context building and understating what the customer wants beyond the actual coding. That is a huge part of what I’m really offloading to the junior developer, not just writing the code.

We still discuss the code when delivered and iterate. Devs still receive feed back on their solutions and are held to account if the solutions aren’t of sufficient quality. The social element is still there, we are now just also co learning how to use this new tool.
I have, for years.

Monkt.com offers an online version (no setup or configuration) for docling. Additionally, it has a few extra extraction methods. It could be tested for conversion to markdown.
I've seen something similar play out badly, in the context of young Indians (and other South Asians) who are underconfident in their use of English but need to use it in professional contexts. Some I know personally have gone from asking for editorial help on their drafts to completely surrendering to LLMs for all their output. I can't imagine it has helped their self-confidence. From the outside it almost seems they've given up on trying to express themselves entirely.
o3 mini was previewed in December. Deepseek maybe made them release it a few weeks early but it was already on its way
There's more than one possible AI on the other end, so crafting something that will not annoy a typical candidate, but will lead every AI astray seems pretty difficult.
It's less about morals and more about stability and quality. The "middle class" today usually understands their craft on a fairly deep level regardless of "progress" experienced by higher levels of socioeconomic status. Talk to those people of status and ask them if they think it's sustainable.

Talk to any sufficiently experienced engineer and tell them they don't understand at "all levels".

The worry comes when all of that is devalued to the point that nothing matters beyond merely determining what needs to be done and the real gatekeeping is done by idiots who think they're smarter than those who actually do heads down work.

We're throwing away everything for these idiots who walk all over those who are scared of taking this situation into their own hands. Not everyone can be a hero, but damn do we need a few.
Why mount the SD card read/write. Why not mount read-only. After boot, I can remove the SD card. I can insert another card with more files, or chroot to other external storage. The rootfs is in RAM. Been booting RPi with tootfs in RAM since 2013.

SD cards are not reliable for frequent, small writes, IME. Certainly worse than USB sticks. I wish RPi offered the option to boot from USB. Even an option to use a SD card to eMMC adapter and boot from eMMC would be an improvement.
We're past voting. The people who matter now are those who can stop the country from falling apart.

But sure, if anyone feels they can change minds in 2 years before midterm, go for it. That is not where I am useful.
Of course it will cost you in terms of loss of demand. But there’s no guarantee that your factories will be able to reduce prices though.

Everyone is worried about it. The global supply chain is a well oiled machine after the last 40 years. Problem is, Trump’s enablers and the media are too scared of retribution to tell people just how bad this will be.

It’s a solution looking for a problem.

You should have seen my frustration during Trump I explaining to my die hard Trumper why he kept getting customs bills from DHL, FedEx and UPS for his equipment and supply orders. I was literally exacerbated trying to tell him he was paying the tariffs that Trump enacted. It’s like he was incapable of understanding plain English because it conflicted with his Fox induced worldview.
what should imply checking available web apis? the comments is correct, browser can't access your location without explicit confirmation from the user, the same apply for other web apis, or at least mention a bunch of them which you know don't apply instead of linkin MDN
The problem is, as usual, capitalism. The goal of people making stuff isn't to make good stuff, it's to sell lots of their stuff, at the highest price they can.

Certainly sometimes making bad stuff does make it so people don't want to buy it, and those who do buy it will only buy it for a low price, but surprisingly that's the case less often than you'd expect. (Blame the field of psychological manipulation that is advertising?)

And so on top of that, the algorithms that recommend things are eventually going to be subverted by the people who want to sell you things, so you end up with stuff pushed at you that "sells well" even if much of it doesn't actually match what you want.

One thing that might work is to decouple the recommendation algorithm from the entity trying to sell you stuff. I'd want an independent third party to give me recommendations on what to buy on Amazon, for example, rather than Amazon themselves recommending products to me. But you have to also somehow ensure that this third party isn't motivated by profit in a way that's related to what products you eventually buy.

On top of that, the problem with every good service is that once it gets to a certain size, it attracts the sort of people who will make it a bad service, because bad services can make them more money.

Also "accuracy" as a measure of model's performance used to mean something objective in the traditional ML world.

Now with LLMs it is what human evaluators feel about the LLM output?
They just need the flag glyphs, not everything else.
The advisory commission lawsuit likely will fail. It’s based on the structure of DOGE disclosed prior to the inauguration, where it was to be an advisory committee outside the government.

Apparently some smart lawyer looked at things again, and instead decided to create DOGE within the shell of USDS, in the executive office of the president.

Yeah, the ADM certified stuff, as far as I know, is a small percentage of the music on there. The distributors I've worked with don't let you have a separate Apple Music version in the same release (a lot of them don't even let you pick which stores it goes to, it's just bulk submit everywhere), so it's extra work and/or cost to make an AM specific version. And only the top mastering talent seem to be ADM certified- I don't see many advertising it (some do). I figure if an ADM master is made, that one is submitted everywhere, but it's really a minority of the releases. Most of them maybe conform to it by happenstance by way of just making a nice sounding master, but I'm not aware of Apple rejecting loud releases, for example. You can submit a song mastered at +6 LUFS but they will just turn it down when someone plays it.
burn up instead of burn down
Although I do agree with criticisms of his writing and have felt the same in his later books (as I was too young to feel the poor writing when I read A&D, Da Vinci Code etc.), I know that I'll get his next book when it releases.

I like that his works mention random things that you can then read about from other sources, information that are tangents to search off of. It helps that all his books are easy page-turning reads.

But yeah, about his writing, I remember the latest (Origin) having some atrocious lines
what is contained in the latest js standard that does let you collect fine grained information of your users without their consent? web apis that have to deal with sensitive data all requires explicit user confirmation to be used

Its a 3D app for iOS and macOS. Thinking about doing the processing of 3D models in the macOS app.
Filesystem is great. It’s insane it took so long.

Optional is nice but slightly awkward in a non-garbage collected language.

IMO variant is one of those things that should not exist in standard.

It tries to implement discriminated union in C++ but that feature is lame without true pattern matching. And you can’t implement pattern matching without thorough syntax level support. So in my books it’s in this academic “let’s pretend a while we are using some other language…” category.

It’s _occassionally_ convenient for sure.
Those are c++17
Thank you. Do you know of any legal challenges?

Total bs. Do not give location permissions to untrusted apps. If the app insists on it, use mock GPS feature on android which will spoof your location. Can we all please stop exaggerating the slopiness of normies with their pretentious acts of being shocked after not being cautious about their privacy? Privacy is not by default, you have to put some effort into it
I recently learned about a similar use of animals for assisting humans:

In about 1915, he tried a more natural approach to control the street lighting in Brightwater – chicken power. They didn't have time switches in those days, so he connected a switch to the perches in his chicken house. When the chickens started to roost at night the weight would turn the lighting on and in the morning when they got down off their perches, the spring switch would turn the generator and lighting off.

Try cold outreach software like Apollo.io

As a test I downloaded it and got my wife’s full email and cell phone number easily from their free trial. And the full price would be on the order of pennies per contact.
There's candidates running speech-to-text that avoid the noticeable delays, but it's still possible to do the right kind of digging the AI will almost always refuse to do, because it's way too polite.

It's as if we were testing for replicants in Blade Runner: The AI response will rarely figure out you are aiming to look for something frustrating, that they are actually proud of, or figure out when you are looking for a hot take you can then disagree with.
The biggest increase is in the price of natural gas. The US is a net exporter of natural gas.
But the US imports from Canada to serve the northern US and exports to Mexico to serve northern Mexico.[1]
So there's cross-border traffic for economic reasons.

More pipelines could eliminate this. Texas flares off unwanted natural gas.[2] Tariffs will provide an incentive to collect that. But they won't be built if the tariffs aren't long-term.

That's a more general problem. Manufacturing and extraction won't come back to the US unless businesses are convinced this is a long term change, not a bargaining point. This action was taken under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.[3] That's temporary, at least in theory. It's the most expansive use of the IEEPA ever. There will probably be court challenges. The challenges probably won't succeed.[4]

Ever After: Why Large Language Models Aren't Designed for Instant Creativity
I see no reason to accept the premise that “fake thinking” can exist. Occam’s razor suggests a simpler interpretation: telling lies.

It would be like saying Tic Tac Toe is not a real game, but chess IS real. Charades is fake, but Darts is real. They are merely different games, requiring different models and operations.

“Rote thinking” is real thinking, applied to simple pattern matching situation.

The concern of the author can be addressed by focusing on the difference between pretense and authenticity. Am I lying to myself? Am I clothing myself in a patina of reason that I intentionally do not complete or repair, because the story soothes me? If so, that’s not necessarily bad or wrong— unless I wish to do my best thinking.
I agree; I read them a little later in life than you and GP did (early/mid 20s), but I enjoyed them just the same. "Page-turner" is a good descriptor. I found the stories themselves to be fun and engaging, even if the writing and plots weren't the best.
What do you speculate that the end goal is here? What are you implying?

Worse, how little does the company value developer time? If you get hired there, how many brainnumbing panels will you need to be a part of? Stinks of a lack of focus, trust and quality.
Sorry, but your comment is practically a case in point. Your points would have been better made if they had been organised into separate paragraphs.

I'm assuming you dictated it off-the-cuff: I apologise if that wasn't the case.
What would be nice is if we could have a standard way to requests secrets from a store, like from the keychain on Mac or from a key vault in production, or from any password manager on a phone.

Then my containers in compose could just ask for it directly, assuming the request would be routed to the right vault.

No environment variables or files containing a value (I can imagine if there is an empty new line in there at the end…), or json files with special schema for each project.
Meanwhile the rest of us will not lower the bar and we resist getting fucked. This is precisely what pissed a lot of people off in the past and it will again.

Yes, I meant the dog's snout. I'm not a native speaker. Whether something is a crime or not is of pretty little interest to me when it comes to an aggressive dog. Last year I had to kick a dog hard and chase it away while jogging in the park. Against whom should charges be brought? I didn't leave my personal details.

Pit bulls are an exception. Most dogs are not pit bulls.

By the way, my life doesn't revolve around attacking dogs. That only happens very rarely here.
> for purposes other than workout programming

I specifically called out workouts.

one tedious thing is needing to manually create the workouts. Unless you're doing the same thing week in and week out, it gets old quickly.

You free criminals and put them in the general population, just like you sacrifice women to put men among them. Why can’t you see your axis of evil.
A standalone (you mean AIO) camera with a builtin VTX is generally even shittier than regular analog, and you still need analog goggles for it. For anyone who doesn’t need prescription glasses or wears contacts, DJI O4 ‘lite’ with the N3 goggles is a much better idea.
This is why funding replication studies and letting people publish null results and reproductions of important results is fundamental.

It will introduce a strong incentive to be honest. Liars will get caught rather quickly. Right now, it often takes decades to uncover fraud.
The complete lack of charity in these neoliberal critiques always crack me up. Haha, those poor blue collar plebs don't know what's even in their best interest!

"any reasonable analysis"-- I will help you out, right now you can ask deepseek how tariffs helped power the asian economic miracle.
You'd be surprised at how good you can get at sniffing out slop, especially when it's the type prompted by fools who think it'll get them an easy win. Often the actual content doesn't even factor in - what triggers my mental heuristics is usually meta stuff like tone and structure.

I'm sure some small % of people get away with it by using LLaMA-FooQux-2552-Finetune-v3-Final-v1.5.6 or whatever, but realistically, the majority is going to be obvious to anyone that's been force-fed slop as part of their job.

Morning Radio – Locally Generated Personal Morning Broadcast
As a counterpoint, I have many times had to interact with the those technologies, and thus been able to use their source code as packages and/or learn their source code techniques which I have then used in my own Go programs.

What does that prove? it proves that no single developer's anecdotal evidence can be used to validate a broad-brushed claim like "The language they are written in is irrelevant."
I’m glad I got to know about Miracope just when I needed to implement custom support for MCP. Thank you!
To be fair, the people specifically tasked with updating a website rather than doing macroeconomics research theoretically have spelling and other language skills as a much bigger part of their job. So maybe I was wrong about that part.
Depends on case to case basis. I wouldn't generalize it to every case. As a daily C++ engineer, I think overall many features added over the years have mostly been positive. There are features that I don't use and I don't think it really affects much. That said, I do get the sentiment of language becoming too syntactically complex.

I like this feature as string formatting is something frequently used and this certainly looks cleaner and quicker to write.

The key word is “program.” If Congress appropriates $1 billion for refugee resettlement, the President can’t refuse to spend the money on that program. That doesn’t constrain the discretion to make or not make any particular grant.

Does it violate the APA? Possibly. But you can sue under the APA for basically anything. It doesn’t stop administrations—it’s like a company getting sued for breach of contract. You just put the smart lawyers on it and power through. How do you think Biden’s student loan forgiveness happened?
The people who reported about the Gravy analytics leak is 404media. They're an independent techincal media group that has been reporting on stories I haven't seen elsewhere. They're pretty awesome. I've personally paid-subscribed. (I'm not affilated with them, nor am I receiving comp to say this)

Would anyone care to also vouch for Animats top level comment here ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42915372 ) - I have as it appeared to be flagged dead for no good reason ( I suspect a super user might have fat fingered another intended action ).

Don’t know of anything readymade, but hacking together a WebRTC video streamer and a WebSerial/WebUSB based control that would forward SBUS control signal to a USB OTG attached MCU seems easily doable.
> After doing more digging than I feel like I should have needed to, I found my answer: it appears that due to concerns about the fact that acknowledging the existence of certain countries can be perceived as a nominally political stance, Microsoft has opted to just avoid the issue altogether by not including country flag emojis in Windows’ system font.

Sigh.. I'm so sick of companies pandering to bad regimes. This, google displaying the south china sea as part of china locally, meta dropping their DEI program after trump took over. None of the companies I know showing pride flags in Arab countries on their website during pride month (while of course widely proclaiming their support in PR and internal material everywhere else).

There is no money for the employees in consolidation and boring tech.

Outside of the US, career driven development (CDD) might be needed to get your salary to a level you can say ... have a family. Or for some ... afford rent. Therefore my salary is dependent on me not understanding development Zen!

Then with an army of CDDs there is a tide that is hard to swim against.

Making it worse is how we interview people and any heroics you did at the last job are worth 0c but ability to talk about GraphQL and advanced TS and AWS are worth, dunno, $20k.
That's certainly the case for myself, too, though I've got roughly two fewer decades in this than yourself!

But typing throughput has never been my major bottleneck. Refactoring is basically never just straight code transforms, and most of my time is spent thinking, exploring or teaching these days
I also vouched, but it's not [flagged] and it's weird because he's not been banned (check his history, dang is good about telling people he's banning them, especially people who have been on the site and active for years). I suspect he triggered one of the filters or something.

You misunderstand, the two hypothetical power plants have an equivalent instantaneous power output in watts. It does not matter how long you choose to sit around staring at them, they're doing their steady-state thing in the background, forever. It doesn't matter to them whether the next calculation involves a halfday or a fortnight.

The "year" aspect comes into play for taking "solar-fried birds per year" (given to us) and "coal burned per year" (calculated from wattage) and then canceling out the year, leaving us with "solar-fried birds per coal".

> you should consider avoiding all the weird scaling and working in units of energy [...] the annual net output is 856 GWh

You're the one doing weird stuff here: Even as you say to use units of energy, you are actually using a unit of power, since "annually" means per-year! Choosing to use cursed units (1 watt-hours vs 3600 joules) just makes it even harder to realize what's going on because the word "hour" is hanging out there as a red-herring.
