> Luckily there’s an easy away forward, which is to skip the step where we try to get consensus.

This is true, the Benovolant Dictator model, versus the Rule by committee model problesm.

Committees are notorius for having problems coming to a consensus, because everyone wants to pull in a different direction, often at odds with everyone else.

Benevolent dictators get things done, but it's not necessarily what people want.

And, we live in hope that they stay benevolent.

> That DoH is specced to operate over port TCP/443 makes it no more or less efficacious than DoT over TCP/853 with regard to avoiding censorship. I.e., they're both encrypted.

Of course there is. Blocking all traffic with destination port 443 is virtually impossible. Conversely, blocking port 853 is trivial, and it forces all clients to either not resolve DNS, or downgrade to un-encrypted DNS.

Of course, if DoH had not been encrypted, it wouldn't have mattered that it uses port 443. But being encrypted yet easily identifiable would have also defeated half the point.

> Otherwise a small country could just fine Apple $1T and solve its budget woes, and probably build a giant waterslide.

You're joining two things here which I think are important to keep separate--the demand and the enforcement.

The Province of Bumbinga can absolutely claim worldwide jurisdiction and fine Apple $1T. And they can fine them a further $1T for every day they're not paid and their waterslide is not built.

Hell, _I_ could send Apple a letter claiming they owe me a trillion dollars so I can build a waterslide.

But when Apple doesn't pay a trillion dollars... then what? Send them angry letters? Still doesn't get the waterslide built.

A legal system's power isn't the orders it's the enforcement mechanism behind it. With a local presence they have the option to seize local assets and bank accounts, forcefully close operations, arrest employees, etc.

When the company has no local presence, your only enforcement mechanism is gaining the cooperation of a foreign country, in which case the country they're headquartered in is very relevant. And they're only going to cooperate if your request aligns with their ideals and generally benefits them.

Except in the most extreme cases, it's generally not worth it to try and impose your rule outside your borders because you have no mechanism to make anyone comply. It's an empty threat. Jurisdiction in the international sense is descriptive not prescriptive. It's recognition of the limits of your authority. The outcome is the same with or without it.

Signal may have users in Sweden which Sweden sees as giving it jurisdiction. Sweden may see it being accessible at all as giving them jurisdiction. Sweden may say "screw it, we have jurisdiction over the whole world!". But their ability to enforce that more or less ends at requiring ISPs to block their traffic or asking the US government to enforce their orders within US borders, so it's kind of a moot point.

There are other reasons for not voting besides apathy. Many people would like to vote but are deterred for a variety of reasons: they have to work, or take care of children, or they're afraid of being arrested. A common tactic is to put up posters telling people that they can't vote if they owe child support.

An alternative would be a national holiday rather than mandatory voting. Either way, I'd like to see voting made easier.

The way you'd expect: I bumbled through a bunch of different Facebook Groups, starting with the one simply labeled for my neighborhood, and followed cross-posts.

These articles are a little annoying.

I love ChatGPT [1]. I use it all the time. I use it for coding, I use it to generate stuff like form letters, I use it for parsing out information from PDFs. Point is, I'm not a luddite with this stuff; I'm perfectly happy to play with and use new tech, including but not limited to AI.

Which makes me confident when I say this: Anyone who thinks that AI in its current state is "blurring the line between PMs and Engineers" doesn't know what they are talking about. ChatGPT is definitely very useful, but it's nowhere near a replacement for an engineer.

ChatGPT is really only useful if you already kind of know what you want. Like, if I asked it "I have a table with the columns name (a string), age (an integer), location (string), can you write me an upsert statement for Postgres for the values 'tom', 34, 'new york'?". This will likely give you exactly what you want, will give you the proper "ON CONFLICT" command, and it's cool and useful.

If I ask it "I want to put a value into a table. I also want to make sure that if there's a value in there, we don't just put the value in there, but instead we get the value, update it, and then put the new value back in", it's not as guaranteed to be correct. It might give you the upsert command, but it also might fetch the value from the database, check if it exists, and if it doesn't do an "insert" and if it does do an "update", which is likely incorrect because you risk race conditions.

My point is, the first example required knowing what an upsert is, and how to word it in a technical and precise way.

It certainly doesn't "blur the line" between PM and engineer for me. I have to pretty heavily modify and babysit its outputs, even when it is giving me useful stuff. You might be saying "well that's what a PM does!!", but not really; project managers aren't typically involved in the technical minutia of a project in my experience, they're not going to correct me for using the wrong kind of upsert.

These kinds of articles always seem to be operating on a theoretical "what if AIs could do this??" plane of existence.

[1] Deepseek is cool too, what I'm saying applies to that as well.

ETA:

Even if I wasn't a fan, this article definitely shouldn't have been flagged.
>For the workers? They get the tantalizing benefit of being “held accountable for good or bad performance.”

No. They will not be 'held accountable' nor rewarded for good performance. The reward will be the ever-rising bar on performance until management is satisfied that they will never be required to pay out on those motivational performance bonuses and that workers fear for their jobs.
The schema on the last project I worked on was probably our most important IP. Specifically, the ways in which we solved certain circular dependency issues.

I think I'm just trying hard to be overly polite in the face of negative criticism and that sounds a lot like ChatGPT!
> Take a look at the EPA "exception" that California has needed in order to impose more stringent fuel efficiency standards for automobiles.

Yet, WA now has a carbon tax for companies operating within its borders. And it was found constitutional by the SCOTUS.

> Many forms of commerce or communication that are relevant across state lines (net neutrality rules, etc.) are considered a federal prerogative and states have limited ability to control these.

The interstate agreements are allowed as long as they don't infringe on the sovereign Federal power.

And there are plenty of workarounds. For example, CA has these ridiculous agricultural inspection stations on freeways. They are legal because they don't technically deny you the freedom of movement, declining to submit to an inspection simply revokes your driving privilege in CA.
And people realized it was easier to just search, just as they are now realizing it is easier to just ask, and have an LLM synthesize all the search results.

As I replied in another message:

That's not quite correct. The judicial practice in the US is that the intestate compacts (agreements) require Congressional authorization only if they infringe on the sovereign Federal powers.

One good example for the 2nd Amendment lovers: states are free to make reciprocal agreements with other states for concealed carry permits. It doesn't require any authorization from the Congress.

Another example are the laws for taxation of multi-state corporations that the neighboring states can negotiate together.

You have a fundamental misunderstanding of the US party systems.

The "parliamentary party" is probably to which you refer. The elected congressfolk and legislators.

The political party, the people who run the party, is often elected at the precinct and county level. No idea how European parties work, but I suspect something similar (the UK Conservatives are similar).

Americans may realize that they're a party member and they've never once voted for a party officeholder, and don't even know they can or should be. Whatever percent it is to take over a party, we actually don't know because there is rarely a public vote. They are able to because the leftwing propaganda (NPR etc) have made their consumers dumb as hell. It's a twisted self-perpetuating system with which we have little visibility much less participation.

Terminal Trove Talks with Mitchell Hashimoto about Ghostty
Here's a neat paper about Boeing's use of CAD and CAM in the 50s and 60s. I particularly like the story about their first computer-made part drawings. There were no printers, and plotters were too inaccurate; but they had CNC mills and they realized "if you can cut in three dimensions, you can certainly scratch in two." So Boeing's first computer-made part drawings were engraved on sheets of aluminum.

"Optifye.ai, launched by Duke University computer science students Baid and Mohta, is backed by Y Combinator, according to the company’s site. On their Y Combinator company profile, they write that both of their families run manufacturing plants, where they’ve been exposed to factory working conditions since they were children. “I've been around assembly lines for as long as I can remember,” Baid wrote.

Mohta wrote, “My family also runs several manufacturing plants in various industries, which has given me unrestricted access to assembly lines since I was 15.” "

So these guys come from families that run factories and manage workers. They NEVER worked in one themselves. It's their turn to sit in the factory for 12 hour a day, 5+ days a week and have AI assisted asses badgering them all day.
I wonder why they haven't tried to back port SwiftUI improvements/versions to the older OSs. Seems like this should have been possible.

When otherwise well-informed and intelligent persons come out in favor of a Hitler, a Mussolini, a Trump, or any other authoritarian figure, they're not really claiming that they believe everything the boss says. No one could believe that. They're making a public gesture of submissiveness. And the more outrageous the leader's lies, the greater the humiliation, the more profound the submission. If you are psychologically predisposed to be submissive, then there is pleasure in the submitting; and once it's done, it gives you license to burn your enemies with a clear conscience.

Nicely put.

>But if my memory serves me correctly, his book about C++ (Designing Object-Oriented C++ Applications Using the Booch Method) has some excellent parts.

If my memory serves me correctly, Grady Booch himself had a book with roughly the same title, except that his name would not be in the title, of course, but would be there as the author. I think I read a good amount of it long ago, and liked it.

The lack of swappable ram feels very much against their ethos. I am not sure I can get behind this no matter the price.
Now you understand why this app costs more than 2x the price of alternatives such as diskDedupe.

Any halfway-competent developer can write some code that does a SHA256 hash of all your files and uses the Apple filesystem API's to replace duplicates with shared-clones. I know swift, I could probably do it in an hour or two. Should you trust my bodgy quick script? Heck no.

The author - John Siracusa - has been a professional programmer for decades and is an exceedingly meticulous kind of person. I've been listening to the ATP podcast where they've talked about it, and the app has undergone an absolute ton of testing. Look at the guardrails on the FAQ page https://hypercritical.co/hyperspace/ for an example of some of the extra steps the app takes to keep things safe. Plus you can review all the proposed file changes before you touch anything.

You're not paying for the functionality, but rather the care and safety that goes around it. Personally, I would trust this app over just about any other on the mac.

Hey Tombert,

wrt did you read the article? I was quite specific about the ways I think LLMs are blurring the lines. I don't think its true for general engineering but I do think its true for applications being built with LLMs.

Also its still very early
Your article starts off with a grand proclamation that isn't true in most cases. Then you talk about how anyone can prompt an LLM. Most of HN already knows that engineers aren't needed to prompt an LLM. Then you state:

"By allowing non-technical people and domain experts to use English as the programming language, AI blurs the line between specification and implementation."

This is a non sequitur. You are saying that some PMs can update the prompts for an AI application. But it does not follow that AI can now specify and implement software. If you are talking about specifically "LLM Applications that just pre-prompt a model can be updated by a PM instead of an engineer". Then yes, that I would agree with. But you've extrapolated this wildly and close out with marketing for your tool.
The 4% rule, by definition, provides stable cash flow.
