If only there were professionals we could pay to go into an organization and find waste, fraud, and abuse so we wouldn't have to rely on people like @ricwe123 on X.

Ah, yes, there are. They're called auditors. They audited USAID 4 months ago.

The entire US government spent only $7.7MM on Politico over the last 12 months. Oooo spooky stuff, if only there was a way to see what for! Turns out there is. You can scroll down and see the shocking revelation that the US government paid a news publication for subscriptions to a news publication!

Similar to how if you work in the energy industry, for example, a smart employer would pay for energy trade publications so you can do your job better.

Please show evidence of Elon being a competent public sector financial auditor. Or are we to believe that competence is just arbitrarily cross-applicable?
I think at some point, but could be misremembering, IncrediBuild did local preprocessing, and then all you need on the other end is compiler. It might be still an option if pre-processing (for your own codebase) is insignificant vs compilation, but hard to say.

Though it greatly simplifies things with little massage (e.g. all these #pragma line - and make them deterministic using some path mapping, etc.)

Being a founding engineer is not wealth-building. Only 10% of startups succeed. Of these successes, only a small fraction (likely less than 1%) will be large enough to compensate for missed salary.

I would categorize it more as an extremely high-risk gamble. Actually your odds would be better taking your $3M in FAANG compensation over the same time period and making a 20:1 bet with a 2% chance of winning in Vegas. Probably double your chances of being able to fly private.
Of course not.

Andrew Gumbel's theory is that since "the left" obviously cheats (despite lack of evidence), "the right" feels justified in cheating harder.

There's probably some truth to that theory.

Steal This Vote [2005] https://www.amazon.com/Steal-This-Vote-Elections-Democracy/d...

More likely is that "the right" believes any "the left" victory is intrinsically illegitimate. So ratfucking is necessary to correct any "aberation".

Even more likely, for a while now, "the right" is simply anti-democratic and is purely animated by their will to power. Therefore, rules are for suckers.

Your phrasing implies that the Greenfield rewrite is always a mistake.

Depending on the project, it might actually be the only sane option if you're still required to make significant changes to the application and features have be be continuously added - and the project has already become so full of technical debt that even minor changes such as mapping an additional attribute can take days.

As an easily explained example for such: I remember an angular fronted I had to maintain a while ago.

The full scope of the application was to display a dynamic form via multiple inputs and interdependent on the selected choices of the available form (so if question 1 had answer a, question 2+3 had to be answered etc).

While I wouldn't call such a behavior completely trivial, on a difficulty line it was definitely towards the easy end - but the actual code was so poorly written that any tiny change always led to regressions.

It was quite silly that we weren't allowed to invest the ~2 weeks to recreate it

Another example that comes to mind is a backend rewrite of a multi million PHP API to a Java backend. They just put the new Java backend in front of the old API and proxied through while they implemented the new routes. While it took over 2 years in total, it went relatively well.

But yeah, lots of Greenfield rewrites end in disaster. I give you that!
A couple of years back I had a problem with a package that didn't reach me, and it was marked as delivered. The only point of contact that responded in any way was Twitter, the shipping company did not have other functioning way to connect to them.

Unfortunately, for legislators to ban porn without breaking the constitution, they'd have to change the First Amendment.

And there is a process for that! IMHO the constitution is due for an overhaul anyway - perhaps while they're at it, the legislators could also sort out those pesky school shootings with some tweaks to the Second Amendment?

My thinking is that these days, the unsophisticated bots will still be stopped by literally any effort, like a hidden form field that causes the form to be rejected if it's filled in. Almost nothing will stop sophisticated bots, and nothing will stop a boiler room. This doesn't really leave a place for more sophisticated CAPTCHAs.
This is definitely surprising given they announced a KMP standalone IDE only a few months ago. For now, Flutter still seems to make more sense than KMP while the KMP world is still maturing.

There's no trust or belief - you're just trading one scarce in demand resource due another scarce in demand resource - nothing more and nothing less.

This is the reason your money becomes worth less when we print more. A vendor selling whatever will want even more because his product is just as scarce as it was before, but what you're trading for it has become less scarce, and so has less value.

And taken to extremes this value can approach 0 quite rapidly. Trust, belief and all these things don't matter if you're trying to trade me something I see as less valuable than what you want in exchange for it.

H1B has surely nothing to do with this.
The primary market for such a product would be businesses. And Apple isn't particularly good at selling to companies. The consumer product focus may just be too ingrained to be successful with such a move.

A beefed up home pod with a local LLM-based assistant would be a more typical Apple product. But they'd probably need LLMs to become much, much more reliable to not ruin their reputation over this.
My guess is it's related to yield and/or large die sizes making them more susceptible to defects. I expect architectural changes in the Blackwell series matter more than performance improvements from process node.

> all humans reduced to shareholders

That seems pretty optimistic. The shareholder / capital ownership class isn't exactly known for their desire to spread that ownership across the public broadly. Quite the opposite: Fewer and fewer are owning more and more. The more likely case is we end up like Elysium, with a tiny <0.1% ownership class who own everything and participate in normal life/commerce, selling to each other, walled off from the remaining 99.9xxx% barely subsisting on nothing.

USB PD can go up to 48V so I'd assume that's fine from a regulatory standpoint.

Going from 12V to 48 means you can get 600W through an 8-pin with a 190% safety factor, as opposed to melting your 12VHPWR.
The Hittite documents, besides recording several Indo-European languages from the same (Anatolian) branch of the Indo-European language family, also record some fragments from an Indic language, making that the older attestation from another Indo-European branch than that of the Hittites. (The next attested Indo-European branch is Mycenaean Greek).

That Indic language was the language of some group of people who at some point in time, perhaps after a war victory, had become the main members of the elites who ruled Mitanni, a Southern neighbor of the Hittites, located mostly in present Syria, where most inhabitants were speaking Hurrian, a non-Indo-European language.

Those Indic-speaking people were renowned as expert horse trainers, so the quotes from their language were encountered in Hittite documents about horse training.

Most known data is consistent with an older migration towards South Asia of the people speaking Indic languages, who had gone both towards East, reaching India, and towards West, reaching as far as Syria, where they entered in contact with the Hittites and other related populations, who had migrated towards South at an even earlier date and through a different path, reaching present Turkey.

The Indic migration has been followed much later by a migration on the same path of people speaking the closely related Iranian languages, who have reached the present territories of Iran, Afghanistan, Tadjikistan, forming the ancient Persian empires, after various conquests.

The people whom we now name Hittites used another name for themselves, and they called Hittites a non-Indo-European population, who were the former inhabitants of the territory ruled by what we call Hittites.
I think the problem is that with the over-reliance on LLMs, that expertise of writing the foundational libraries that even other languages rely on, is going away. That is exactly the problem.
That's what I wonder, whether there has been any blind backtesting of the methodology itself to see how reliable it even is. Reconstructed proto-languages tend to be overly complex and unnatural.

The blame is on the reviewers.

This is why peer review exists. One can not known everything themselves. It's fairly common for CS paper submissions to reinvent algorithms and then tone down the claims after reviewers suggest that variants already exist.
It's almost like you need an ecumenical authority to decide these matters. Too bad we never had one (or a couple) of those... :)

I think this is still true of a solid CS curriculum.

But it’s also true that your son will probably end up working with boot camp grads who didn’t have that education. Your son will have a deeper understanding of the world he’s operating in, but what I’m saying is that from what I’ve seen it largely hasn’t mattered all that much. The bootcampers seem to do just fine for the most part.

If you don't mind me asking, what size of codebases do you typically work on? As mentioned I've tried using all the available commercial models and none work better than as a helpful autocomplete, test, and utility function generator. I'm sure maybe big players like Meta, OpenAI, MS, etc do have the capability of expanding its context for their own internal projects and training specifically on their code, but most of the rest of us can't feasibly do that since we don't own our own AI moat.

Even on my personal projects and smaller internal projects that are small toy projects or utility tools I sometimes struggle to get them to build anything significant. I'm not saying its impossible, but I always find it best at starting things from scratch, and small tools. Maybe its just a sign that AI would be best for microservices.

I've never used Devon so I can't speak to it, but I do recall seeing it was also overhyped at best and struggled to do anything it was purported to be able to in demos. Not saying that this is still true.

I would be interested in seeing how Devon performs on a large open source project in real-time (since if I recall their demos were not real-time demonstrations) for instance just to evaluate its capabilities.
Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs (1984)
I'm just guessing that the downvoters don't have young children, or haven't heard of some of the things that go on on social media.
It's a meme at this point. People who don't know anything about programming (lex fridman): "It's revolutionary. People with no programming skills can create entire apps." People who program for a living: "It can reproduce variants of code that have been implemented already 1000s of times, and... nothing else".
Facebook has a similar issue (although in this case the accounts may be from India but they go after everyone). People commenting on a company's page will get replies from accounts that set their name to "CUSTOMER SERVICE" or "TECH SUPPORT" (Mr. and Mrs. Support must have really had a specific career path in mind for their child) saying they're here to help and to kindly message them for a solution.

I've tried reporting these and Meta really does not care. Report as scam, nope looks fine to us. Report as fake name, nope looks fine to us. I don't think I've ever seen their report system work.

Sure, there are problems with the connector. But 600W split over a 12-pin connector is 8.3A per wire, and a 16AWG / 1.5mm² wire should handle that no problem.
I would argue that your advantage right now is that YOU are the one position they can't replace with LLMs, because your knowledge requires exact fine detail on pointers and everything and needs that exact expertise. You might have toughen the same pay as your peers, but you also carry additional stability.
Not at all — how many people were geniuses and their parents not? I can name several and I’m sure with a quick search you can too.
Correct! We seem to be in agreement here!

I also would recommend that government should stop making regulations and tax breaks that favor one company over another. I think that would be even more effective than just antitrust enforcement.
The answer is probably profit margin. It's also not unusual at all for Nvidia to leave performance on the table in terms of production nodes. I mean just look at the RTX 3000 series which was made with Samsung 8LPH, categorized as a "10nm node". Even at the time, for a late 2020 launch, TSMC already had several generations which were better, in both the "7nm" an "5nm" categories.
Delays can be compensated for during either recording or playback, the problem is when both at the same time. It just so happens that recording is typically done "in-the-loop" with the backing track being played through headphones during the session.

Elements of Programming (2009)
The irony is that AI, as a replacement for an even average programmer, doesn’t work. You can use it helpfully if you are already a programmer, but if you’re not, you won’t know when it’s generating insecure or even non-working code.

And yet it’s causing massive disruption. The bosses have such a hardon for layoffs that they’re doing this on the slim chance that it might work for them. Having to hire programmers back in a panic is, as they see it, future someone else’s problem.
There's a built in process to revise it that has been used repeatedly throughout the USA's history. Just don't assume that process would always go the way you'd prefer, different people have different opinions.

I'm not gonna claim C++ is a great language, just that JavaScript starts its weirdness "earlier"/"lower" than C++. Especially since a bunch of the issues listed on your linked reference are technically UB but compilers (a) can warn about it, and (b) have reigned back somewhat on exploiting UB for optimizations.

Now that I think about it, the fact that you necessarily have to use a compiler with C++ is also part of the equation here. It's basically a mandatory linter. With JavaScript as with any interpreted language there's a lot of mines you can trip over waaaaaay down the line, especially if you aren't taking steps to use linters.
Are you suggesting, that nobody ever changes their opinions based on research papers?
Repeating a point without proffering evidence only makes it seems as if you don’t have anything to argue of substance.
