This is the only 'evidence' provided, and it definitely doesn't match the claim in the headline.

> It’s important to think outside the box, and that’s easier when you’re not aware of the box

I don't think so. If you are not aware of the box, there is a much greater chance for you to be well within the box and not realizing it. By that, I mean that either you rediscovered something, or you are wrong in the same way as many others before you. By chance, you may find something new and unexpected, but that's more of an exception than the rule.
I didn't comment on our productivity or AI. Just the expectation :)
If Putin gets what he really wants that is going to work out as great as it did for all the companies outsourcing to Ukraine.

Putin is covertly manipulating Poland with the same games as he did with Ukraine. And now it appears increasingly likely he has the right guy in the white house to take what he wants.
they are _not_ backwards compatible. That's a big part of the problem. A trailing comma is a syntax error for an SQL engine without support for it
No clue what dictionary you looked at but this is not at all what dictionaries actually say.

Oh, I can get smaller models to run reasonably fast but I'm very interested in tool calling and I'm having a hard time finding a model that runs fast and is good at calling tools locally (I'm sure that's due to my own ignorance).
> Why don't they review the phone records and recordings of their phone calls regarding the patient?

They did review the call. The calls did not support the claims in the social media post. The physician posted the letter she received on Instagram and, to be honest, I’m having a hard time siding with the physician: https://www.instagram.com/p/DFlR1CrJ688/?img_index=4

Unless you believe that UHC’s lawyers are lying about their records (which I have no doubt many people will claim) then it appears the errors were primarily in the administration at the hospital.

Specifically, UHC did not demand she scrub out of surgery, but that she call back as soon as convenient. The physician spun it on social media as UHC demanding she leave surgery for the call immediately, but that seems like a miscommunication in the hospital staff.

They also appear to have records that the hospital submitted a request for outpatient surgery but they were doing inpatient surgery, which prompted the calls.
Can second this as a PM turned VC.

In Cybersecurity and DevTooling we've moved the entire Engineering and Product function to Israel, India, and Eastern Europe (Czechia, Poland, Romania).

We'll still fund founders in the US, but they still end up hiring in those countries instead because you can pay "Austin in 2010" salaries and get top tier talent.

20 years ago, P/L responsibility would remain in the US, but in the current iteration, even P/L stakeholders are now abroad.
Yeah, I am, proud listener since 2018 or something (used to be called ChilledCow IIRC), but I never have that in the foreground. I'd still find that distracting as it has movements (even if they're tiny), which my eyes seems to be unnaturally attracted to.
Doesn't matter how many people can produce the requirements document when an AI can produce it.

No manager and coder pair can iterate on an idea 5 times per minute, even if the first attempt needs correction, the timescale disparity makes AI agents appealing for nearly all noncritical coding tasks.
There should be an add import button above the code, whats the library?
I thought "we gonna have uuuge success, many-many jobs, we gonna need many-many people, a lot of people"
Yes, they generally can.
Yes. The only wheel re-inventing I agree with is for learning purposes. I one would say rewrite SQLite, be my guest, it's a really good way to learn. But proposing it as a replacement is....bold. Might still be something to it, but that usually doesn't stem from a simple greenfield project.
Well before AI, us old guys had to google our own issues and copy/paste from stackoverflow. When I was a junior I never thought about being overly reliant on "google or stackoverflow", but LLMs are slightly different. I guess it would be like if I googled something and always trusted the first result. Maybe for your question it means not copying/pasting immediately what the LLM gives you and have it explain. Wasting a few mins on asking the LLM to explain, for the sake of learning, still beats the amount of time I used to waste scanning google results.
Because nobody makes 24V power supplies for computers, they'd have to convince the whole industry to agree on new PSU standards.
Instead, we believe that those scientists did provide correct answers. Which is true about 99.9% of time, but not 100%. There is still believing involved, because we can't really check out everything for ourselves, there is no time in one person's life for this.

I genuinely can’t remember having laughed at well written prose in a long time, thanks for sharing [0]. OP is gold too.

Takes me back to my high school days when I would have to choke down my laughter as I surreptitiously read Cracked.com articles in class
I don't understand, why would they do that?
Politics so off-topic.

However the writing is unbelievable!
Yeah, that's why it's only available to fleet owners.
Danny here, one of the authors of this paper. If anyone has any questions or anything feel free to AMA!
Smells like UB. Is this defined in the standard?
Because no PC power supply has a 24V rail and even though there's a fancy new connector you can still use an adapter to get the old-fashioned plugs.

After all you don't want to limit your market to people who can afford to buy both your most expensive GPU and a new power supply. In the PC market backwards compatibility is king.
I'm not disagreeing with anything you said here - reread my comment.

Sometimes you want to use the sophisticated shiny new tech because you actually need it. Here's a recent example from a real situation:

The linux kernel (a boring tech these days) has a great networking stack. It's choking on packets that need to be forwarded, and you've already tuned all the queues and the cpu affinities and timers and polling. Do you -

a) buy more servers and network gear to spread your packets across more machines? (boring and expensive and introduces new ongoing costs of maintenance, datacenter costs, etc).

b) Write a kernel module to process your packets more efficiently? (a boring, well known solution, introduces engineer costs to make and maintain as well as downtime because the new shiny module is buggy?)

c) Port your whole stack to a different OS (risky, but choosing a different boring stack should suffice... if youre certain that it can handle the load without kernel code changes/modules).

d) Write a whole userspace networking system (trendy and popular - your engineers are excited about this, expensive in eng time, risks lots of bugs that are already solved by the kernel just fine, have to re-invent a lot of stuff that exists elsewhere)

e) Use ebpf to fast path your packets around the kernel processing that you don't need? (trendy and popular - your engineers are excited about this, inexpensive relative to the other choices, introduces some new bugs and stability issues til the kinks are worked out)

We sinned and went with (e). That new-fangled tech met our needs quite well - we still had to buy more gear but far less than projected before we went with (e). We're actually starting to reach limits of ebpf for some of our packet operations too so we've started looking at (d) which has come down in costs and risk as we understand our product and needs better.

I'm glad we didn't go the boring path - our budget wasn't eaten up with trying to make all that work and we could afford to build features our customers buy instead.

We also use postgres to store a bunch of user data. I'm glad we went the boring path there - it just works and we don't have to think about it, and that lack of attention has afforded us the chance to work on features customers buy instead.

The point isn't "don't choose boring". It's: blindly choosing boring instead of evaluating your actual needs and options from a knowledgeable place is unwise.
> At some point you've got to provide insight.

Why though? Seinfeld had nine seasons of no insight and it did okay.
This. Every big company I know of is offshoring to India and Eastern Europe currently. It has nothing to do with AI.
Would be soon renamed to Streisand-UnitedHealth effect?
Which is really funny because a lot of the times businesses don't adopt new programming frameworks until the rest of the industry has tried and tested it, but it seems people are treating AI like if its a worker, when its closer to Adderall for developers if used right.
Same; recently built SFF with low profile A310. Goes through video streams like hot knife through butter.

It's not always successful though, making this a huge speculative case. That's even assuming it made it to the landfill and someone didn't pick it out first.
I don't think anybody is really saying it is. Academics treat big-Oh performance on very very full hash tables like a sport. Real world code on real world CPUs often has a more complex cost function than what the academics considered; cache sizes, fitting in a cacheline, memory bandwidth, icache pressure, ...
Seems to be a perfect indicator for the distribution of technical IQ.
British kettles draw so much power, the electric utility had to consider the additional power draw on the grid from synchronized tea-making during the commercial breaks of a popular soap opera, back when broadcast TV was king.
There is some evidence of at least proto-writing existing in the “Old” European societies that the Indo-Europeans replaced prior to 3500 BC. Of course no indication that it was preserved or further developed.

ForkServer coming to Firefox on Linux [video]
> Firefox evolved over years from a single-process to a multi-process browser and while this brought nice improvements to the processing and latency, creating new processes has a cost both in time and in memory. This talk will introduce the solution that is coming to Linux and has already been enabled by default on Nightly for a few months: ForkServer, a process dedicated to making fork().
Actually, it's even more devious than that.

They use wording -- just like this article does -- like "X happens as Y also happens".

The keyword being "as" and not "because" or "due to".

It implies causality, by coupling both in the same title, without technically linking the two.

E.g. "Stocks fall as rate increase looms"

They're basically just saying two things happened at the same time, or one after the other, but one didn't necessarily cause the other.

IOW, they know they can't link the two -- i.e. they can't user words like "because" or "due to" -- but they also know that by coupling them in the same headline, readers will still infer causality.
Is their public image particularly relevant to their bottom line? It's a captured industry.
I want to complain a little about the journalism (not) being done here. Because I read this article, and I read the (better, but still lacking) Bloomberg Law article it links/rewrites, and I still have no idea what's happening.

The law firm says the surgeon made false claims. (Which claims? Were they false?)

The surgeon reacted with some twitter grandstanding saying she was on the side of the women she cares for who are battling cancer. (Noble, but irrelevant. She can tell the truth for a good cause or lie for a good cause. Which did she do?)

UHC's spokesperson makes a big show of saying there are "no insurance-related circumstances that would ever require a physician to step out of surgery" and they would "never ask or expect that." Happens all the time actually, in part because if you don't work on the insurance company's schedule and answer their calls, you may not be able to talk to them for weeks, and your patient is denied in the meantime. But is that what was happening here? Apparently nobody thought to ask or include that information.

The implication of this news item is that UHC has hired a shakedown operation to chill criticism on social media. Big if true. But it seems to really matter whether the people on either side are telling the truth. Somebody should report that out. Alas, I guess "big company vs plucky surgeon in social media spat" is a simple script that requires no work, we don't need to be curious about who the hero(ine) and the villain are.

But back then, the Engineering Manager or Product Manager would remain in the US.

Now even Engineering and Product leadership is being outsourced as well, which makes it easier to enforce standards.
There are priority queues at least with Delta to a point.

- people needing extra time

- military

And then they are call by Zones

- 1st class boards first sho are at the front of the plane (Zone 1)

I think zone 2 is Diamond medallion. More than likely unless they bought a last minute ticket on a full plane, they would at least be C+

- Comfort+ boards next who are behind first class (Zone 3)

- Gold Medallion boards next and they are in the main cabin (Zone 4)

Those four zones above have a dedicated lane and should have plenty of overhead space close to their seat.

Below those four is where the upheaval starts especially if you fly out of Orlando like I do now with a lot of infrequent fliers. At that point, everyone is Main cabin jockeying for position and overhead space.

Even then Zone 5 isn’t bad. You get that by either having a cobranded credit card or being the lowest medallion level - Silver
Ah gotcha, I thought you meant for the app. We'll add this.
You need to make sure failure cannot/won't be pinned on you and jump ship in time. Other than that I would accept the role. On the other hand, you're describing most startups...

But security theatre is apparently necessary, see "golden age of hijacking" 1968-72: over 300 events in five years, that's a hijack a week!
I'm glad someone else recognizes the farce that is the implied cause-effect analysis of economic trends. "Stocks tumble as mywittyname avoids lunch time taco truck for fourth week in a row. Taco tariffs feared."

The accurate, but boring headline is almost always, "stock (tumble|gain) as algorithmic traders reinforce trend. Further news may occur."
Thanks. I don't use either but good to correct my guess.
That's absolutely true, but it doesn't mean AI won't lead to job losses just in terms of increased productivity: if your existing programmers can get more done you may find yourself reducing (or at least freezing) your team size.

I continue to hope that the net result of programmers getting more productive is an increase in demand for our skills, as employers realize they can get a whole lot more value for their investment. It might take a while for that to shake out though - we need companies to realize they can take on more ambitious projects now.
My heart genuinely goes out to him. Not merely for losing the bitcoin. The idea of trying to negotiate a search (or purchase) of the dump with the risk avoidant jobsworth council bureaucrats of a mid sized British town is spine chilling.
I'm oversimplifying it horrendously with dumb math, but this is how I think of it:

Let's say you're trying to build a product/feature. You have general timelines for the launch. About 5 years ago, it would take a team of 10 to deliver it. Now, let's assume there were productivity gains, and you can deliver it with a team of 8.

This would not necessarily be a problem if for 20% of the workforce cut, you would also start getting investments and create 20% more companies/features. The big uncertainty is, will this ever happen, or it'll end up with 10% increment in such activities, so you still have that extra person hanging around.
The older I get the more I realize the underlying technology is not as important as the problem its trying to solve for the customer.
How much value can LTS provide? If you care about stability, just stick with stable API versions and you will likely be fine. For instance Pod[core/v1] has been around for a decade.

If you go with a LTS version, you rely on the vendor to backport security patches, block your engineers from exploring new features, and if you use 3rd party operators/controllers, good luck with getting LTS support from all of them!

In enterprise market, people have been dealing with weird proprietary software for decades, finally there's a decent open source software with sane version skew and deprecation policies, and strives to make upgrades less painful. If you still can't do this upgrade once every year or two, likely you won't be able to do it in 12 years.

I imagine this might make sense if you are a non-tech company hoping to buy a software from a vendor and never worry about it. But in that case, Kubernetes is the wrong abstraction layer for your business.
"Improving forecasting ability" is a central plot point of the recent fictional account of How AI Takeover Might Happen in 2 Years [0]. It's an interesting read, and is also being discussed on HN [1].

... [T]hese researchers are working long hours to put themselves out of a job. They need AI agents that can think ahead, so engineers train agents to forecast. They hold out training data before 2024, instructing models to ponder for hours to predict events in 2025. Then, they apply the same trick as before, distilling pondering into a gut reaction. Forecasting ability is a broad foundation. The researchers build specialized ML research skills on top of it, training U3 to predict the results of every ML paper and ML experiment ever recorded.

Preferably a game that can run on Linux (not a must). Tried Nucleares but it doesn't run well on Linux using the latest Proton. Looking to learn, in detail, about how NPP works through operating it.
Agreed. More importantly, it's hard to believe that the relative contrast difference matches real-world use. They would have been much better off taking a proper photograph.

It's true, but to be fair, by the hardware the 5080 is really more of a 70 series cared in previous gens. I was just thinking of the insane top end of the 90 series.

Except that all farmers in an area need the combine on the same day. Which is why a lot of farmers don't own a combine - they hire a crew that comes with not only a combine, but also semi trucks, grain carts and all the other special equipment needed for harvest. Then when your farm is done they move to a new area (north in North America) where the harvest is ready. However at the end of the day someone needs to pay the multi-millions of dollars that the harvest operation is.

Yet calculators don't seem to have reduced the number of people in mathematics, engineering and other mathematics heavy fields. Why would it be any different with people using AI to learn coding?
Actually the wires don't scale down like the transistors do. I remember in graduate school taking VLSI circuit complexity theory and the conclusion was for two dimensional circuits the wires will end Moore's Law. However I've seen articles about backside power delivery and they are already using seven+ layers so the wires are going through three dimensions now. Copper interconnects were a one-time bonus in the late 90s and after that wires just don't scale down-signal delay would go up too fast. Imagine taking a city with all the streets and houses and the houses now become the size of dog houses but you can't shrink the streets they have to stay the same size to carry signals quickly!

Yes, the legal way is to change the laws.

Unfortunately that is rolling a boulder uphill, and even if you fire all of Congress (on this issue, you'd need to get rid of all the Republicans and at least a third of the Democrats) and replace it with people who give a crap, all it takes is one executive to stop enforcing the rules.

> FWIW, personally, I'd rather go the full-Python, using newlines as delimiters:

I love Python - mostly, but significant whitespace is its worst curse, and I'd love new languages to move away from the idea. I enjoy Rust because I can write out garbage faster than I can think of it, and the auto-formatter will make it look neat.

Also, have you experienced the unspeakable horror that is templating YAML files? Of course in SQL prepared statements is the safe&sane way to go, but there are cases where you still have to generate SQL as text, such as when building an ORM.
