It seems to me like you are assuming ChatGPT is always going to be wrong (which in itself is not an unreasonable place to start), which is coloring your use of the tool.
Um, no. That is even't close to the truth. The AI doesn't "want" anything. It's a statistical prediction process, and it certainly has nothing like the self-reflection you are attributing to it. And the heuristic layers on top of LLMs are even less capable of doing what you are claiming.
The Daughter of Dawn [1920] (2024)
Wow this is as cool as hell!!!! I think I'm going to make the switch to this. I'm a logseq devotee but this is really addressing pain points I have with that application.
This is what everyone said he’d do in Ukraine (after he spoke against expanding the service into Russian controlled Crimea) yet the service continues to be a critical part of their military and Russia is still excluded from using it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starlink_in_the_Russo-Ukrainia...
And the terminal flag is not going to happen. Apple doesn't care ;).
I add AI to that list
I don't know about that, i usually use canva. Still the text placement is terrible, it stack on top of each other. My suggestion is, provide text format so the AI will place the text in that format. For example a block for heading and below it a block for content. Then the AI will generate the heading in the heading block and content in the content block. Or for ease of use, user can upload their desired template, then the output will use it. Though this might difficult to achieve.
They did. But they were disregarded.
I can't wait to hear that they've decided to shutdown the NOAA and bring all flights in and around the US to a halt whenever there's a decent gust as we won't be able to approximate when the weather will die down. I can't imagine how many other organizations and services rely on NOAA.

Get over this feeling. Get the easiest job you can that makes a decent amount of money and learn to relax.

One Child's Outsized Influence on the Debate over Plastic Straws (2018)
It's not that at all... Similar drawings of non-humanoid shapes like an ostrich or the map of Europe would have resulted in the exact same 'blindness'.
Gambling firms and Meta sharing user data
Literally all of that is because capitalism incentivizes short-term profit over meaningful, society-benefiting work.

FOSS doesn't have these problems.
Different LLMs respond to requests slightly differently. So if I say - "here's a log of all the errors I got, can you help me solve it?" - you will get different suggestions than if provided more constraints first. It helps to split the logs and ask to solve one problem at a time, rather than expect it to solve all of the problems at once. So it's easy to just ask for help, but you get better results by helping the LLM with extract directives first. That's one example.

If you ask o1 vs Grok to write something, they have very different styles. Grok is chill and concise, o1 is professory and kind of dull. But, each has its advantage, so it makes sense to give o1 something to make it better, then feed to Grok to make it more fun. Things like that.
The recursive island in lake pin is not quite in the right spot, the real one is to the east.

We are destroying software by thinking the web is the only platform in which we can write GUIs
Yes. There are better and worse ways to lead a team, just as there are better and worse ways to prompt AI.

This post reads as a description of how the wheels come off the wagon if you don't do things well.

With the evolution of AI agents, we'll all be virtual CTOs whether we like it or not, mastering scale whether we like it or not. We need to learn to do things well.

Managerial genius will be the whole ball of wax.
I love it. This is so my thing! I've spent hours and hours on the map virtually, hopping around weird random islands and atolls.

I'm obsessed with weird Islands, and I've been to many: in the Caribbean, Mauritius, Cannarys, Madeiras, Malta, Antarctica, Svalbard, and many across SE Asia.

My wish list:
- Midway Atoll

- Pitcairn Islands

- Easter Island

- Faroe Islands

- Wrangel Island

- Sao Tome
- Chatham Island

I could go on for a long time.
My rather broad solution has always been: let engineers own a part of a stack. Let an engineer own the UI for an app, own the database front-end. Let an engineer own the caching mechanism, let an engineer own the framework.

You give an engineer ownership and let them learn from their own mistakes, rise to the occasion when the stakes are high. This presumes they will have the last word on changes to that sand box that they own. If they want to rewrite it — that's their call. I'm the end they'll create a codebase they're happy to maintain and we will all win.

(And I think they'll be a happier engineer too.)

Great for you! Could you give the name of such drug in order to ask some feedback from my doctor? Some years ago she prescribed one which got me sleeping but I woke up awfully tired (left after a week.)

I sent the plot to ChatGPT 4o. Here is the conversation:

what do you see

ChatGPT said:

This is a scatter plot with the variables "steps" on the x-axis and "bmi" on the y-axis. The data points are colored by "gender" (red for female and blue for male). Interestingly, the arrangement of the points appears to form a drawing resembling a cartoonish figure or character, likely added for artistic or humorous effect.

If you'd like, I can help analyze or discuss the data further!

You said:

Wha the cartoonish figure looks like ?

ChatGPT said:

The cartoonish figure in the plot resembles a stylized gorilla or monkey-like character. It appears to be waving with one hand raised, while the other arm is resting downward. The face is expressive, with distinct eyes, a nose, and a slightly frowning mouth. The overall pose gives it a somewhat playful or cheeky vibe.
The solution is quit letting accountants and managers determine pay raises and promotions.

Then you might ask what are managers for. To this I have no answer.
Really nice. I will give it a try :)
Thanks for the recommendation! I'll definitely check out the series. Have you read any of Wessels' books
Nope, any human when asked to plot that data would pretty quickly give up and (correctly) assume it was a wind-up.
”we are” not antirez.

Semi-related: Start using profane variable names because apparantly it will cause Copilot to stop analyzing your code.
You lost me at "government thinks". ;-)
Link to the meltdown? I could use a good chuckle this morning.
I love the intuitiveness of it
Hm, interesting. The way I tried it was by pasting an image into Claude directly as the start of the conversation, plus a simple prompt ("What do you see here?"). It got the specific image wrong (it thought it was baby yoda, lol), but it did understand that it was an image.

I wonder if the author got different results because they had been talking a lot about a data set before showing the image, which possibly predisposed AI to think that it was a normal data set. In any case, I think that "Your Ai Can't See Gorillas" isn't really a valid conclusion.
“Don’t reinvent the wheel!”

I think people vastly underestimate "the wheel". The wheel was something recreated independently over and over again for thousands of years across human history. Even your favorite programming language or web framework is not comparable to "the wheel".
What's funny is they'll end up raising the pay anyway. It's not like when you leave they can get someone for the same pay. They're going to have to pay as much to an incoming candidate as the next company will have to pay you. They're literally just banking on you either being too lazy or afraid to leave. So then the only loyal engineers they have are ones who aren't competent enough to leave.
> People are unwilling to accept infinite risk and the question of if a segment of broader is secure depends on the risk of crossing that segment.

People are, in practice, given a commensurate reward, willing to accept arbitrarily high risk, and market dynamics are willing to provide the rewards in this case.
This looks great! I currently use Aerospace, but your usage of macOS spaces has me curious.

1. Does FlashSpace require disabling SIP?

2. Aerospace documents the limitations of macOS spaces [1]. How does FlashSpace deal with these limitations?

3. Do you have any plans to support file-based configuration? I like syncing my dotfiles between multiple computers.

I'm not sure if this is possible. All systems do not have access to an entropy source of the same quality.
Stick to the facts and avoid ad-hominem attacks.
TLDR: “ Beijing assumes that Washington’s own policies will dismantle the foundations of U.S. global hegemony, even if it creates a lot of turbulence for other countries in the process. China’s top priority, then, is simply to weather the storm.”
I got "The scatter plot appears to be arranged to resemble the character "Pepe the Frog," a popular internet meme ... " lol

Not sure whether multimodal embeddings have such a good pattern recognition accuracy in this case, probably most of information goes into attending to plot related features, like its labels and ticks.
Eh, still, I've used stuff like Coder for remote work, or SSH and Vi.

There are ways to ensure that the end user provides authorization. While the shop owner does not control the agent it does control purchase authorization - primitively that could look like requiring a pin/cvv, confirming via text sent code, etc. This concept can recursively assume that an agent can do these things on the user's behalf but this is where limits come in, compliance regulations, etc. It's not in the shop's or the agent's interest to integrate poorly within these flows. That said, this is where we should establish the conventions that we can enforce consistency and compliance as well as validate them. It wouldn't be hard to imagine that an agent must prove they are operating correctly before they can initiate actions such as purchase requests and then the agent's authority is known and can be held accountable for misuse.
I started running linux in 1992 or so. I converted to FreeBSD right around the time you were starting with Linux because I had the opposite experience:

I was new *nix sysadmin, and I needed good NFS performance (replacing DEC ULTRIX workstations in an academic dept with PCs running some kind of *nix). I attended the 1994 Boston USENIX and spoke to Linus at the Linux BOF, where he basically told me to pound sand. He said NFS performance was not important. So I went down the hall to the FreeBSD BOF and they assured me NFS would work as well in FreeBSD as it did in ULTRIX, and they were right.

I've been a FreeBSD user for over 30 years now, and a src committer for roughly 25 years. I often wonder about the alternate universe in which I was able to convince Linus of the need for good NFS performance..
This is not obvious to me, and nor should it be to anyone who didn't program these AIs (and it probably shouldn't be obvious even to the people who did). I think you both should try testing the hypothesis and present your results.
Jokes aside, it's wild how much history is still hidden beneath the surface
Holy fuck. I internally explode in anger every time I hear Don’t reinvent the wheel.

To me this is the most sure way to identify the adults from the children in the room. People that can actually program, strangely enough, aren’t bothered by programming.
Russia is allowed to use Starlink namely because apparently Starlink only geo-fences so in order to let Ukraine use Starlink in an area you have to allow anybody else to use it.

Presumably over the past 12 years they could've implemented some of linking accounts to a region and ban the use outside of the region. (Although wait, didn't they do that to counter-act people using them with RVs/Boats in the US!?)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starlink_in_the_Russo-Ukrainia...
This might be obvious and trivial to others, but alas. Going to bed early at a specified time, shutting down all computers well before that and just spending hours relaxing, did absolute wonders to the quality of my sleep. I'm using a smart watch to measure and the positive impact is an order of magnitude.

At times I entertained the idea that I was an insomniac, but I was just stupid. I need to shut down all stimulus well before I intend to sleep or it might ruin my entire night.
thanks, glad to hear it.
> You can effectively run whole development (LSP, docker, compiler, files) on remote like it is on your local machine.

the same is possible with any other editor that implements a client/server model, and it can be done without giving the server the ability to execute code on the client
Please read TFA. The conclusion of the article isn't nearly so simplistic, they're just suggesting that you have to be aware of the natural strengths and weaknesses of LLMs, even multi modal ones particularly around visual pattern recognition vs quantitative pattern recognition.

And yes, the idea that the initial context can sometimes predispose the LLM to consider things in a more narrow manner than a user might otherwise want is definitely well known.

> One of the worst long-term consequences of Nazi rule has been the degree to which pointing out that genes do cause real differences has become taboo

I think this hot take should be reconsidered! Surely the above consequence is not anywhere near the top 10. There were entire ethnic groups virtually wiped out, cities leveled, European society set back decades.

And: the cautionary tales for naive reliance on genetic explanations for "good" versus "bad" tendencies in society go way beyond Nazism -- historically, they didn't even start there.
I understand CPU time, as micro-kernels tend to be less efficient, but why do you include programmer time?

My understanding is that it's easier to develop drivers for a micro-kernel. If you look at FUSE (filesystem in user space), and NUSE (network in user space), as well as the work with user-space graphics drivers, you see that developers are able more rapidly implement a working driver and solve more complicated problems in user space than in kernel space. These essentially treat Linux as a micro-kernel, moving driver code out of the kernel.
> Senate consent is only required for actual agency posts

The Constitution requires Senate advice and consent for all government officials, except minor officials specifically exempted by an act of Congress. Calling Elon Musk and DOGE "just a small part of the USDS" is laughable. You know that isn't true. They have the power to take over and shut down any federal agency they choose. He's not some minor official, and the Constitution is very clear that his position needs Senate approval.

> I didn't see anything that looked illegal there

Shutting down USAID is illegal. The president does not have the authority to arbitrarily shut down federal agencies and to not spend money that Congress has appropriated.

> was advice and consent from the senate obtained for all these billions of taxpayer dollars being wasted and given to other countries

Yes. Why are you even asking this?

> for things that aren't needed?

AIDS patients in Africa don't need antiviral drugs?
The moment this happens, I will stop using an iPhone and switch to a mainline Linux phone like Pinephone. Android is far worse though and you can't even uninstall Meta apps.
Biggest thing I can advise is stay away from AI. Learn what you're doing, learn how code works, is structured, is written and why. The most successful engineers are the ones who learn the "language" of software engineering. They have some sense of how a program is structured even before looking at a line of code.
None of the orgs you listed provide direct "lawyers for hire" style legal services in the United States. They'll have partner orgs which are lead by lawyers, they'll have international arms with international lawyers, they'll offer legal-adjacent services, but show me and example where, say, Deloitte will put a lawyer into a US courtroom who is directly being paid on W2 by Deloitte.

You can't, because they can't legally operate like that in the US.

Deloitte: https://www2.deloitte.com/us/en/pages/tax/solutions/legal-bu...

> The Deloitte US firms do not practice law or provide legal advice. Deloitte Legal refers to the legal practices of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited member firms (or their respective affiliates) that provide legal services outside of the United States.

PWC: https://www.pwc.com/us/en/services/tax/legal-business-soluti...

> PwC US does not provide legal advice or opinion in the United States

Lawyers in the US, through the state Bar Associations, have done a damn fine job of protecting their industry against capital. Doctors in the US now answer to MBAs, Lawyers only answer to other Lawyers.
I guess the rant should be renamed "business is destroying software" because several of the tradeoffs he mentions can be root caused to a commercial entity cutting corners and sacrificing everything on the altar of "developer time" in order to save money. Only a business would come up with the madness of "Move Fast And Break Things."
That's 7 hours of sleep. I'd be surprised if you didn't feel refreshed.
Getting the word out is not mutually incompatible with taking action.

Collective action is more important than individual action. And right now, collective action is being hampered by suppression/manipulation of what people see on social media (not just HN).

> I think this whole thing boils down to whether you like elon or not.

I think this whole thing boils down to you being an anti-abortion zealot who is so anti-abortion (you've expressed opposition to abortion on Hacker News, a tech forum, not just once, but multiple times![1]) that you see no issue with Trump cutting government spending in certain areas while he is simultaneously expressing support for the US occupying Gaza, funding a goddamn Christian task force[2], etc.

The main benefit you'll hear touted is something along the lines of being able to get an attestation that the resulting artifact was built following the steps claimed to build it. I think that's a somewhat overstated benefit, though, as it's not clear to me that this is an avenue of attack used in practice, given the frequency with which software already has vulnerabilities usable for exploits, or the ease with which one can insert a backdoor into the source code (e.g., the xz backdoor).

I think the actual main utility is that the process has done a very good job of rooting out several causes of unintentional nondeterminism in the build process. I say unintentional because the two main causes of unreproducibility, by several orders of magnitude, are timestamps being embedded everywhere and absolute paths being embedded everywhere, and those are rather expected. But some of the unreproducibility comes from things like accidental reliance on inodes in file paths (i.e., doing "for file in listdir()" without sorting the results of listdir) or the compiler itself accidentally sorting based on pointer address (which is unreproducible on ASLR systems).
As a side note, Zephyr RTOS (hosted at the Linux Foundation) already supports writing applications in Rust https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr-lang-rust
We did see massive inflation in subsectors of the broader economy, though, and there were a lot more monetary policy levers moving than just supply expansion.
This does sound nice. I used Eclipse a bit 4 years ago for Java, and I switched to IntelliJ and found it to be much more usable and feature-rich, however. I don't know how much has changed since then, though.
That’s generally true of political operatives.

The problem here is having such activities in his past makes him an exploitable by criminal organizations or foreign adversaries who would seek the sensitive information he now has access to.

Why would you join a subreddit for an obscure browser if you never even bothered to run it?
Last I checked (10 years ago?), 33% of US healthcare costs went to haggling between the insurance company and the administrative assistants the doctor has to hire.

I’d guess it’s higher now. It also seems really easy to fix:

Just have a standard price list, and auto accept/reject 99% of procedures at the time of administration. Also, have a billing system that lets the patient pay on discharge (like restaurants).

Edit: Concrete example. I needed some medicine. There are two interchangeable options. One retails for $30, and the other for $600.

The doctor chose the $600 version, and insurance rejected it. This wasted my afternoon, an hour of the pharmacist’s time, 15 minutes of insurance company time, and at least 45 minutes of time at the doctor’s office. On top of that, the doctor had to context switch back to my case to change the prescription.

If the doctor had a UI when writing the prescription that contained a price list, whether insurance covers which drug, and a “no really, we need the expensive one” button (there is already such an override that the insurance company honors), then all of this waste would have been avoided.
