Think of it like you're talking to someone so smart that they answer before you're finished explaining, and get the general idea wrong, or seem really pedantic and your misplaced use of a past tense verb that should have been active tense causes then to completely reinterpret what you're talking about. Think of our current LLMs like idiot savants, and trust them as much.

I don't use AI to write code if that code is not short and self contained. It's great at explaining code, great at strategy and design about code. Not so much at actually implementing code larger than 1/4 to 1/3rd it's output context window. After all, it's not "writing code", it's statistically generating tokens that look like code it's seen before. It's unknown if the training code in which the LLM is statistically generating a reply actually ran, it could have been pseudo code explaining that computer science concept, we don't know.

People seem to want a genie that does what they are thinking, and that is never going to work (at least with this technology.) I'm really talking about effective communications, and understanding how to communicate with a literal unreal non-human construct, a personality theater enhanced literary embodiment of knowledge. It's subtle, it requires effort on the user's side, more than it would if one were talking to a human expert in the area of knowledge you operate. You have to explain the situation so the AI can understand what you need, and developers are surprising bad at that. People in general are even worse at explaining. Implied knowledge is rampant in developer conversation, and an LLM struggles with ambiguity, such as implied references. Too many same acronyms in different parts of tech and science. It does work, but one really needs to treat LLMs like idiot savants.

If I read the article correctly step 6 was using data from a previous dump to access files now.

So say the dumped data contained the URL of a file and you couldn't get the URL now (due to step 3) but you can still download the actual file.
I never thought you were acting in bad faith. My assumption was that you were gaslit like every other non-security person has been, where you were willing to shoot the messenger (the researcher) instead of the person creating the problem (the CEO). My problem wasn't that you were lied to, my only problem was that you were repeating a common lie that I think needs to die.

People operating in bad faith give up or hide when they notice their position is weakening, people working in good faith respond, and acknowledge the weaknesses in their ideas. Like you are doing.

My first professional programming job was indirectly related to this. Back in the 1980s at a large investor-owned utility, a decision support system (DSS) named EXPRESS from Management Decision Systems, Inc.[0,1] in Boston was used on an IBM VM/CMS mainframe system[2] to model twenty (!) future years of finances, used as the basis for the all-important "rate case" made to the public utilities commission. I wasn't involved in that part however, just the number crunching. I suspect in hindsight that after the first year or two, the remainder of the 20 future years was just pie in the sky.

FreeDOS is good, but it's a different flavor of DOS and not everything directly lines up. It's certainly where I'd start if I needed a DOS, but I'm sure there are things it won't work with.

Bubble sort only swaps adjacent elements—that's why it's called bubble. This doesn't.
A thought occurred to me, as someone involved in some projects trying to recalibrate invectives for science funding: Good grad students are usually more intersectional across fields (compared to supervisors) and just more receptive to outsider ideas. They unofficially provide a lot of this same value that AI is about to provide established researchers.

I wonder how AI is going to mess with the calculus of employing grad studies, and if this will affect the pipeline of future senior researchers...
Fun concept, but there are some really generation specific references here. Smurfs, Brady Bunch, Payphones...
This is well known (google trivial sorting network!), and it would never be published anywhere peer-reviewed.

There are no instances in the history of the world where the wealthy, out of the goodness of their hearts, have solved hunger, childhood education, funded research programs at scale, provided safe drinking water, etc. These things are handled by government. Government is far more efficient at this than hoping rich people act in the public’s best interest.

Very little substance in this article, I don’t suggest wasting time with it. There is no explanation of the bills, the motives, if it’s about land-rights or budgetary concerns or really anything of value other than “right wing bad”.

I want so badly for an AI service to come out that can distill actual facts, Wikipedia style. I despise clickbait and ragebait.

All else being equal, companies are going to use the source of labor that results in the cheapest product they can produce. No one is forcing companies to move this kind of manufacturing to the United States. A 10% (let me reiterate that: TEN PERCENT) tariff on incoming goods is inflationary, but by very little, and quickly absorbed by companies and consumers. No one is moving their labor supply from China to the US to avoid a ten percent tariff; US labor is more expensive than that, and there are fifty other places around the planet you could find cheap low-skill labor that aren't on Trump's shitlist.

But you won't believe any of that, because you want all this to happen. You're a doomer; doomers and preppers secretly want the doom they predict to happen, even if they won't admit it to themselves.

Something has been eroding code quality according to random analysts and internet posters for years.

See projects like suckless with an entire philosophy along those lines… ooh desktop environments are a sign of poor code quality

Skin suits without real existential dread draw illusory lines in the sand to not cross. Altars of sigils and totems to worship, real or imagined. Meanwhile never any giant foot’s squishing us when these principles are not upheld.

Code quality types are the lady in Misery who knows which way each penguin is faced.
I could've uninstalled the package, but I moved it all to a separate VLAN until the warranty is over.

I'm debating writing a custom firmware, the GPIO pins are documented somewhere.

* Run pump.
* Turn lights on / off / %.
* Measure water in tank.
* And then they have a moisture / temperature which they use for their 'AI' / heuristics on whether to water more or less. You don't need that. You just water more often. The point of hydroponics is that the roots sit in water.
* Occasional photo (via USB).

I'm trying to find a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W with the GPIO pins soldered on the 'other side', as that is how the Gardyn is setup.
what's the real progress, though?

I'm a midwesterner originally and I'm genuinely curious what you're referencing.

Oh come on, I'm not an "AI believer", but it regularly does things for me like write complex SQL queries that I can then verify are correct. Just something like that will often save me 20-40 minutes over doing it manually. There is _something_ there, even if it's not going to replace the workforce anytime soon.
Farming is an old human activity and it took us thousands of years to work out how to do it competently. We had to invent Haber-Bosch fertilizers and genetic engineering to get us to basically permanent surplus.

Honestly not surprised this is so hard. The area was pineapple plantation for years, and the plantation owners were not great stewards of the land. No amount of money can fix decades of shitty land stewardship. It’s just time and effort.
The Apple I had a single 256 byte bipolar PROM for its WozMon debugger. Though the Apple II used ROMs (EPROMS were popular in clones) the expansion cards still were supposed to use tiny PROMs for their drivers (in the case of the disk controller there was even a second PROM for the state machine - Woz did love these devices).

The Altair 680 had sockets for four 256 byte PROMs. One was for the debugger, but a popular option for the other three was the VTL-2 (very tiny language) interpreter. Pretty amazing that they fit a Basic-like language in just 768 bytes, though implementing some language in the 510 byte boot sector has become a popular hobby.
My impression is that costs will continue to go down. Large investments are unlikely to be profitable for these businesses. Whoever is dumping billions into this is unlikely to get their money back. The new tooling, models, discoveries seem to be commoditized within months. There are no moats. If things keep going this way there will never be a point where employers (or anybody for that matter) have to pay the real cost.
AT&T and AST SpaceMobile completed a video call by satellite over AT&T spectrum
I want to say “that’s not what isolationism means”, but I realize it starts to feel vague just like the word “fascism”, used when convenient but varies wildly in rhetorical meaning… to be more specific is better, I like what George Washington had to say about it in his farewell address because it shows the nuance of the topic across the spectrum, it’s not as simple as isolation good vs bad:

The great rule of conduct for us in regard to foreign nations is, in extending our commercial relations to have with them as little political connection as possible. So far as we have already formed engagements let them be fulfilled with perfect good faith. Here let us stop.

Europe has a set of primary interests which to us have none or a very remote relation. Hence she must be engaged in frequent controversies, the causes of which are essentially foreign to our concerns. Hence, therefore, it must be unwise in us to implicate ourselves by artificial ties in the ordinary vicissitudes of her politics or the ordinary combinations and collisions of her friendships or enmities.

Our detached and distant situation invites and enables us to pursue a different course. If we remain one people, under an efficient government, the period is not far off when we may defy material injury from external annoyance; when we may take such an attitude as will cause the neutrality we may at any time resolve upon to be scrupulously respected; when belligerent nations, under the impossibility of making acquisitions upon us, will not lightly hazard the giving us provocation; when we may choose peace or war, as our interest, guided by justice, shall counsel.

Why forego the advantages of so peculiar a situation? Why quit our own to stand upon foreign ground? Why, by interweaving our destiny with that of any part of Europe, entangle our peace and prosperity in the toils of European ambition, rivalship, interest, humor, or caprice?

It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world, so far, I mean, as we are now at liberty to do it; for let me not be understood as capable of patronizing infidelity to existing engagements. I hold the maxim no less applicable to public than to private affairs that honesty is always the best policy. I repeat, therefore, let those engagements be observed in their genuine sense. But in my opinion it is unnecessary and would be unwise to extend them.
No, your "correctness" is established. The credibility of your report is established.

But your credibility as a professional non-extortionist is absolutely still in question, unfortunately.

Again, I've been on both sides. Being the only professional in the room is sometimes the way things work out. But that's OK, because you can walk away from the conversation still being the professional, and they cannot. This pays dividends.

I've run across people years later who apologized for being a jerk in our previous exchange. They were under pressure, didn't fully understand, felt insecure, blah blah whatever who cares. But they realized their error and got smarter for it. And I gained their respect. That doesn't work if you don't stay professional.
Note that “introduced” refers to bills being filed. Only five states have actually passed RtR laws yet.
> We firmly believe that the next generation of AI applications will be built on MongoDB, making it the ideal foundation for AI-driven systems.

I wonder about this. I've been working on ClickHouse support and cloud management for over 6 years. When I first started I thought we would focus on integrating ML workloads, pretty much like the quote above. Over that time maybe 2 customers asked about ML. Everyone else (like literally hundreds) wanted visualization and ability to load data fast. After a while, it began to become clear why this was so.

Databases tend to be chosen and operated by groups with very different skillsets from AI. They solve different problems. The workloads are completely different. AI depends on GPUs and often depends on datasets that are far beyond the storage capability of databases. Databases on the other hand optimize hardware for fast response, which means loads of RAM and fast I/O. When people used to ask me about our AI integration strategy, I would reply "fix bugs in Parquet." It's not a flip answer. It enables databases and AI services to use a single copy of source data. That's one example of how AI and databases actually interoperate in industrial deployments.
I highly doubt they do due to the time Trump has been in government and the speed they had access to the systems and data.

A small number of reposts is ok if an article hasn't had significant attention yet. This is in the FAQ: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html#reposts.

The reason we have this rule is that the /newest page is a bit of a lottery, meaning good submissions often get overlooked, and we want to mitigate that randomness a bit.

Of course, this could cross into spamming, especially when an account is promoting the same thing/company/site, or handful thereof. But that's not the case here. azhenley is one of the best submitters on HN!

I've seen junior code "so weird that humans cannot understand them".
Many many many years ago I worked at basically an MSP for telcos on the helpdesk. So customers would call their telco or isp for help and that would be routed to us. Anyways this one small isp with idk 10k customers had deployed their routers to customers with the default username/password and remote authentication enabled. A single script from a bad actor logged into all of the routers, changed credentials, and iirc updated dns settings so they lost internet, phone, tv. Cue 10k people calling as we had to basically walk through everyone one by one on changing the credentials and updating their config.
I used Starlink for 2 months after the hurricanes last year. If it's the only broadband you can get, it's obviously better than dial up, but it isn't very good compared to any modern wire based services. The bandwidth rises and falls based on where the satellites are, and I had at least a few times per day where the service would cut out for a few seconds to a couple minutes. Again, based on how good your view of the sky is and where the satellites are. It might be absolutely perfect if you live on a hill in a desert, but living in real world most-of-America with hills and trees without a 100 ft tall tv antenna structure to mount the dish on, it isn't all it's cracked up to be.

First of all, I don't have direct skin in this game, it's not my job to convince people to use more IPv6. (I think it's a good idea, but I'm not here to convince anyone.) Second of all, I wasn't being dismissive at all, I listed a number of good workarounds to enhance the human element, because yes human memory is (very) fallible. I'm also in the category that I've never been able to keep IPv4 addresses in my working memory (I can have a bit of dyscalculia, myself, and sometimes know all the individual digits but be entirely unable to retain their order among each other). I've personally always needed these workarounds, and was just providing a list of options for those new to this need. (Welcome to the club.)

I also could have mentioned mDNS as a distinct subclass of DNS. That's most of what I use in IPv6 LAN stuff, personally, but I don't have a lot of subnets to worry about. Also I could have mentioned tricks like writing down a subnet prefix somewhere such as a .env script and using assigned addresses full of zeroes in that prefix like $PREFIX::1, $PREFIX::16, $PREFIX::cafe, or also, if you really want, and just miss dotted quads that much: $PREFIX::136.324.154.123 (that's been a supported address format for a few years now as long as it is on the right side of a :: shortcut).

I totally agree with the post.
Now, regarding: "Don’t over-engineer your site", I'd say sometimes it's good to add some engineering to it. To put an effort. If you had zero effort to put your website (or public notepad) online, it won't cause much regret to shut it down. So a decent effort would at least cause a second thinking before shutting it down, as you would remember the time you had dedicated to it for the infrastructure and content itself.
They already did it once in the previous administration, so i guess that argument is out the window.

Got any others?
Farmers aren't cautious. They'll all quickly jump on something like a new hybrid seed variety if it increases yields. This isn't a "vibe" issue.
that's fair, the study didn't convince me it was better, it just prompted me to switch back to white, because, actually, I don't know, and then I found that _if_ it made any difference, it was probably positive, but, even though I sit at the screen from dusk till dawn, I find no difference in how pleasant light or dark mode it, it just makes so little difference to me that I don't care :)

I think they might be rolling out here in rural Adjuntas, Puerto Rico, which to be absolutely honest I would not have expected in a million years.

Certainly a guy came by this week measuring for, he said, laying fiber optic cable. Just to put this into perspective, our barrio is the least populous in Adjuntas, which is the least populous municipio on the island. For my own perception, as a displaced rural Hoosier, it's still really densely populated, which means it's probably a reasonable cable investment, all else equal, but still. Astonishing to see it.

Most of Europe has a culture of government-owned utilities and infrastructure, correct?

Here in the US, that does exist but is less prevalent. Some government programs end up costing too much while delivering too little, these get a lot of media attention and become the focus of too much political debate, and now nobody trusts the government to get anything done. (Despite all the government programs that do get run well.)

That said, I've long thought that the ideal arrangement for last-mile Internet should be that the local government (perhaps county) owns the fiber, contracts service and maintenance to a local company, and sells access to the fiber and customers to companies like AT&T and Comcast. Then companies can compete on service and price rather than which board members they can bribe.

But that's quite a bit more work than just telling Comcast that they can have exclusive access to all of the homes and businesses in the township and charge whatever they like.
Little anecdote sort of along this line.

Early 80's, in college, we had the Cyber mainframe, and PDP 11/70. The Cyber was used for computer classes (comps sci [Fortran, Pascal], infosystems [COBOL]), engineering classes (SPICE, Aeronautical Engr had some Fortran IV stuff the had to slog through), statistics runs (SPSS - lot of the sciences used that)), the school had some back office software running on it (you noticed during registration, the machine was noticeably loaded). PDP was used mostly for introduction CS classes, and it had a public game account (very nice Star Trek program on that one).

Outside of a TERAK and a Textronix 4050 series computer in the Math lab, there were no real microcomputers on campus, no "public" ones used for teaching.

The first micro computer lab on campus, was in the Agriculture school. They had a full lab with 9 Apple ][ computers, all running, I guess, a sophisticated software package for computing feed and what not. We were there to play Wizardry, of course, my good friend was the lab tech.

But it was just interesting how the Ag school was a pioneer in the personal computing space at an, ostensibly, school known for its science and engineering programs (though it was also know for its Ag and Architecture schools).
What a broad brush to use about the antiwar movement, antisemitism, anti-narcotic and anti-drug campaigns, anti-suffragism, anti-statism, antismoking, antisalooners, Anti-Catholicism, antitrust laws, and of course antidisestablishmentarianism.
Perhaps not all whimsy, but definitely take a look at https://www.creativeapplications.net/blog/ for some interesting stuff people are doing out there in the world.
