…is true, but it only applies to experienced engineers who can sculpt the whole solution using these tools, not just random code. You need the whole learning effort to be able to ground the code the slop generators make. The passion absolutely helps here.

Note this is valid today. I have concerns that I’ll have different advice in 2027…
You're gonna have to quote something stronger about that.

In college, I knew a lot of girls who took up smoking to help get rid of the freshman fifteen. It seemed to work for the most part.

When I followed Charles Stross on Twitter I recall him often saying that we are living in the stupidest possible timeline.
The way current masculine norms (as I experience them) expects me to be able to defend myself, is by projecting a capacity for retalitory violence.

I have nothing against this at the level of international relations. I will fight if article 5 is invoked. And on this level, building walls also makes sense.

My issue lies at the personal level. Men on average are too violent at this level, and the masculine ideals are to blame for that.

When I hear things like this, where one person has been given command of the plane and tanked it straight into the ground, with dire consequences particularly for the middle east employees you have mentioned, I am filled with concern about the stability of our systems in general. It often feels like in the history books when you read about the land the King built and then his son inherits it and burns it to the ground. This can't be a sustainable way to run a society.

Driving labor is a significant cost for running a taxi fleet, so automating it allows taxis to become much cheaper to operate. Taxis can charge higher fares than buses because people overwhelmingly prefer “going from point A to point B” over walking to, waiting for, and riding on buses.

Buses are already cheap and removing the cost of the driver would offer only a marginal reduction in cost.

My understanding is that it is for the cabin.

BTW, for the cabin I did two things:

- I installed a permanent shade for the sun roof. The sun roof is the stupidest thing ever, I hate it.

- In the summer, I usually put one of those shiny umbrellas to the front windshield when parked.

These two things alone reduce the cabin heat to an okay level.
Yeah, I'd buy it. I've been using Claude pretty intensively as a coding assistant for the last couple months, and the limitations are obvious. When the path of least resistance happens to be a good solution, Claude excels. When the best solution is off the beaten track, Claude struggles. When all the good solutions lay off the beaten track, Claude falls flat on its face.

Talking with Claude about design feels like talking with that one coworker who's familiar with every trendy library and framework. Claude knows the general sentiment around each library and has gone through the quickstart, but when you start asking detailed technical questions Claude just nods along. I wouldn't bet money on it, but my gut feeling is that LLMs aren't going to be a straight or even curved shot to AGI. We're going to see plenty more development in LLMs, but it'll be just be that. Better LLMs that remain LLMs. There will be areas where progress is fast and we'll be able to get very high intelligence in certain situations, but there will also be many areas where progress is slow, and the slow areas will cripple the ability of LLMs to reach AGI. I think there's something fundamentally missing, and finding what that "something" is is going to take us decades.
Like industrial equipment - you know it’s going to be good when it has an absurd name (company or model). Assuming it’s been around awhile.
Yeah this one is dumb.

The real distinction is programmer vs software engineer, or IOW do you want to write code or solve problems?
Yeah agree 100%. LLMs are overrated. I describe them as the “Jack of all, master of none” of AI. LLMs are that jackass guy we all know who has to chime in to every topic like he knows everything, but in reality he’s a fraud with low self-esteem.

I’ve known a guy since college who now has a PhD in something niche, supposedly pulls a $200k/yr salary. One of our first conversations (in college, circa 2014) was how he had this clever and easy way to mint money- by selling Minecraft servers installed on Raspberry Pis. Some of you will recognize how asinine this idea was and is. For everyone else- back then, Minecraft only ran on x86 CPUs (and I doubt a Pi would make a good Minecraft server today, even if it were economical). He had no idea what he was talking about, he was just spewing shit like he was God’s gift. Actually, the problem wasn’t that he had no idea- it was that he knew a tiny bit- enough to sound smart to an idiot (remind you of anyone?).

That’s an LLM. A jackass with access to Google.

I’ve had great success with SLMs (small language models), and what’s more I don’t need a rack of NVIDIA L40 GPUs to train and use them.
I've taken Epsom salt as directed on the drug facts label 3 times, ever, and all three times I probably avoided an urgent care/clinic visit by doing so.

If you're ever so severely clogged up that you're approaching a week without - Epsom salt will, in fact, work. It works so well that I'd recommend pre/probiotic foods for a couple days afterward. It completely cleans you out.

Otherwise, I agree. You have to know why you're clogged, too; if you got no clue, go see a Dr.
And I think that is really the crux. I don’t see it getting better for awhile either.

We need to get a lot more cynicism in society to counteract the fraud.
I’m the developer of https://canine.sh — I’d humbly ask you to take a look! It’s basically built to solve exactly this problem, and it’s totally free + open source.

The backend uses kubernetes, and the frontend integrates with GitHub, dockerhub, etc, for doing builds and deploys.

I’ve been able to host 2 rails apps, 1 postgres and 1 redis in a $10/month Hetzner VPS.
Not all of Russia.

And I think it is a reminder to the people of Dagestan, Buratia, Altai, Bashkortorstan etc that they allow themselves to be taken advantage of and killed by a tribesman from the plains.

hm, yea, I guess it was a dumb question. Spinning magnets for sure must generate noise.
In my experience, coding interviews are more like checking that you can stand up and walk, maybe a short light jog.

They're not testing your limits, they're testing for basic competency.
We're now (almost) 24h later, and IMAP is still down for me (Belgium).
Agree - I think another way to put it, is the advertising industry is positive ROI directly, but has severe negative externalities. Especially when ramped up to the extent it currently is, and likely will continue to be even more.

It’s a similar analogy to global warming/fossil fuels IMO. As long as we don’t care about the somewhat invisible co2 part of it slowly cooking us to death, it’s awesome.
No it has not. It depends on sience to postpone its demise. Fraud may be internationally acceptable, but its still worse than worthless in the west.

Its not very accurate but quite fun. I'm the creator so AMA.
I have 20 hens and 2 roosters (living in a country village where neighbours like the authentic rural vibes) I buy 50kg of feed every 6 weeks for (equivalent)$23. Outside of winter we average 7-12 eggs a day and in winter about 2-4 a day. What we sell covers the cost of feed (except for winter)The birds free range all day and have large compost heaps and worm farms to gorge themselves on. Before moving to the country we had 4 hens in a city garden which worked out to a greater cost per egg due to the lesser free-ranging opportunities but still cheaper than a caged egg from a supermarket. Once you have your own hens you'll never go back to factory eggs!
I don’t disagree, I just cringe when I see (presumably young/haven’t been through it before) folks cheer for destruction.

We had alternatives to those things, when we banned them, after all. Or didn’t ban them at all, just taxed them more.

>Their pie shrunk, because they have nothing of value to offer.

They were a member of a club, and that club was rich and they deserved to enjoy the results of that. But then other people tricked them into letting a bunch of other people in the club, and selling off the club's assets at the same time, until their share was diluted to nothing. Then the same people who pulled this trick come to them and say "you have nothing of value, you deserve to starve". And some of those people pretend to be the other side "just implement marxism, so you can have your fair share of nearly nothing".

>or funding world class universities to reskill people in things the modern world needs,

Those universities have nothing to do with that. Go talk to those people, they don't want to "become vocational schools". Not when there's so much grift money to be made bringing in foreigners on student visas.

>but I am saying that they need to get over themselves, because that’s the only way things get better for them.

Nothing gets better from here on out. This is terminal decline, and the two (or more factions) who are at war here couldn't even stop it if they cooperated for some reason.

>I’m sorry for them that life is hard,

Not really. But even if you could shed a genuine tear for them, I think it's going to be short-lived when you discover that you're in much the same boat as they.

>and join the rest of us in the society we’re trying to have.

The society you're trying to have is dying. The first rule of societies is that they absolutely must make more generations of people who will then (and soon) become that society. The society you're trying to have thought you could all upload your brains into robot bodies or something and forgot that. And now it's dying, and nothing can save it. These people aren't trying to "be mean to trans people", they were hoping the kindergarten teacher wouldn't groom them into becoming infertile. They were hoping for grandchildren, against all odds.

Roaring-rs: High-performance compressed bitmaps in Rust
roaring-rs is a Rust implementation of the Roaring bitmap data structure, originally introduced as a Java library for efficiently representing large sets of integers. This crate offers memory-efficient, high-performance compressed bitsets for Rust, and is compatible with the Roaring format used in other languages. Benchmarks and real-world datasets are included, and contributions are welcome!
That’s in blood. Both are fat soluble and will get stored in brain fatty tissue where the half-life is multiple weeks.

Your second point is spot on.
LW isn't a place that cares about credentialism.

He has tons of links for the objective statements. You either accept the interpretation or you don't.
Those who "like Musk" usually cannot come up with any proof that he's exposing government fraud or saving the government money, and instead are simply repeating talking points they've come across.
Well, for starters it is just a whole lot less work and money to distribute and maintain binaries up from the distributers' side, for the developers it comes down to a lower-barrier of entry to not have to adjust their workflow to whatever x platform may demand for building on their servers and in the end that gives the users more choices to work with. Of course, this is all in a perfect world where the chain of trust isn't broken so easily, which isn't an easy feat but given platforms like Windows thrive in spite of it, it is probably not as bad as many people may think.

All of that said, not particularly speaking for OpenAPK here, given their motives seems rather unclear to me. If I am to be charitable, I guess they're just trying to provide a different platform than f-droid for discoverability, but for whatever reason they seem to be marketing the distribution-side of things more which is just odd to me, but alas.
50 million ?

according to someone's research[1]:

here are some civilian deaths within china:

- land reform killed 1-4.7 million

- campaign to suppress counterrevolutionaries killed 712k-2mm

- three-anti and five-anti campaigns killed at least 100k

- sufan movement killed ~53k

- anti-rightist campaign killed 550k-2mm

- '59 tibetan uprising killed 87k

- violence in the great chinese famine killed 2.5mm

- socialist education movement killed 77k

- guanxi massacre killed 100-150k

- inner mongolia incident killed 15-100k

- yangjiang massacre killed 3.5k

- daoxian massacre killed 9k

- ruijin massacre killed 1k

- zhao jianmin spy case killed 17k

- shadian incident killed 1.6k

- tiananmen square protests & massacre killed 200-10k

so it's 52.5mm!

that's huge!
If you're not familiar with this story, the headline misses what seems to me like the bigger scandal, of Tesla rigging a dashboard instrument to lie:

> Tesla years ago began exaggerating its vehicles’ potential driving distance – by rigging their range-estimating software. The company decided about a decade ago, for marketing purposes, to write algorithms for its range meter that would show drivers “rosy” projections for the distance it could travel on a full battery, according to a person familiar with an early design of the software for its in-dash readouts.

> Then, when the battery fell below 50% of its maximum charge, the algorithm would show drivers more realistic projections for their remaining driving range, this person said.

IIUC, when many individual drivers were realizing that the rigged instrument didn't agree with reality of their car, they assumed their car was broken, and initiated service requests.

To reduce the costs of being caught in a lie, Tesla then created a team to again lie to customers, but this time it's humans lying one-on-one, rather than lying via rigged instruments.

Also consider things like Full Sell Driving misrepresentations, mishandling sensitive video surveillance from the cars, quality problems, and occasional 'retaliations' against those who complain, and it looks like Tesla might have a culture of dishonesty.

Hopefully other Musk-controlled companies have better cultures, since some of them are being put into positions of trust for the broader country and world. (Broader than safety of occupants of Teslas and any innocent bystander the car might crash into or harm with fire.)
It is correct, as the White House's childish response doesn't address "making mouses transgender" at all, and this was Trump's claim.
>Training for construction and manufacturing jobs.

Hillary famously said "those jobs aren't coming back". I do not know if she was incorrect in that, but I suspect she might have been right. I don't see a viable path to that happening, and I've yet to hear anyone else describe such.

Since very little is ever removed from C++, all the inconsistencies in C++ are still there.
I’m not talking about “expanding” power, merely proposing that the USA learn from other systems that have deadlock breaking systems, with limitations to mitigate abuse. I’m not sure taking money out the system will have the same effect, as we’ve seen Republicans gain a lot of political capital by just being obstructive since 2008.
Just pointed out a issue that may help deciding.. Didn't know it's a controversial point to make going by the negative points :-(

To each his own.
I understand your point, but no one's saying its fast because it's Rust.

Rust also has a decent open-source community, so adding this to the subtext will maybe encourage people to help development

> So, 'Europe first' in the sense that the ideas which formed the continent are worth defending and so are people who subscribe to those ideas no matter where they come from. Those who want to get rid of these ideas to replace them with their own intolerant society - whether that be an islamic caliphate or a Chinese-style fascist [1] surveillance state - are not welcome. I realise this includes a number of EU bureaucrats who are enamoured of the latter system and I would be pleased to see these individuals removed from power, preferably by truly democratic means.

Magnesium glycinate works for something like 30% of migrane sufferers too. Specifically that one. I wish everyone would specify what formulation with supplements.

I.e. vit D, is it cholecalciferol or calcidiol? It matters. Also D2 in mushrooms exposed to the sun, even dried, works, eventually. But rare in supplements!
I use it like a brush for new apps and a scalpel for existing ones and it generally works well. If it can't solve something after 3 attempts though I just do it.

It’s not a minority of Parliament though. It requires a majority vote, in two separate sessions, to be forced through (in essence, it takes up to 2 years). It’s not an easy system to abuse at all.
When Karpathy and Yegge speak, I listen. When they say approximately the same things, I listen carefully.

I certainly would find much better usages for the money.

What about reforming democracy? Use the corrupt system to buy the votes, then abolish all laws allowing these kind of donations that allow buying votes.

I'll litigate the hell out of all the oligarchs now that they can't out pay justice.

This would pay off more than a moon shot. I would give a bit of money for the moon shot, why not, but not all of it.
I also did that for 10+ years. I was actually drinking 3L a day in the last few years.

My BMI and checkups were good. But I was also IFing a lot, having big meals in my eating window and eventually had stomach problems: mild gastritis, hiatal hernia and strong esophagitis. As my family has some history of stomach problems, it's hard to say what was the culprit.
What is "too high a dose"? I imagine the magnesium self regulates because you'll be on the toilet more often than not.

People on HN crack me up. We're smart enough to know that supplements can be beneficial, and how, but not so smart we don't need a nanny to tell us to be careful?
I tried this vs Cline/Aider/Lovable.

For full stack, I would say Lovable is the best, for complexity, I think Cline is the best.

Claude Code with the several request I gave it just produced code that didn't run. I think it has a long way to go.
Sounds similar to Obtainium:

Maybe a [TRL x] tag too.

In the current online discourse climate...

The HN community can be a good candidate to collectively, over time and use... develop and refine a set of commonly understood tags to communicate context in post titles.

If not in title, then maybe in the top / "pinned" comment.

If they can spread beyond HN... that would be even better.

To throw yet another option in, you could consider an LXC container per project, if they’re small and you don’t find you need Docker. LXC containers are basically multiprocess containers, unlike Docker’s single process containers, making them feel more like VMs and giving you a great dev experience.
Author also made a highly upvoted and controversial comment about o3 in the same vein that's worth reading: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/Ao4enANjWNsYiSFqc/o3?comment...

Oh course lesswrong, being heavily AI doomers, may be slightly biased against near term AGI just from motivated reasoning.

Gotta love this part of the post no one has yet addressed:

> At some unknown point – probably in 2030s, possibly tomorrow (but likely not tomorrow) – someone will figure out a different approach to AI. Maybe a slight tweak to the LLM architecture, maybe a completely novel neurosymbolic approach. Maybe it will happen in a major AGI lab, maybe in some new startup. By default, everyone will die in <1 year after that

Sweet. I'm off to get a pack of Marlboro's then.

The problem with that methodology is that a single patient could be counted in those statistics multiple times as they age and relapse.

Also your link points out the rates in younger people are increasing. Has cancer changed or has the environment?
> I'm a bit nervous where I'd end up though - with code I'd "written" but wasn't familiar with

This does seem like quite a big downside. It turns every new feature into “implement this in someone else’s code base”. I imagine you’d very quickly have complete dependency on the AI. Maybe that’s an inevitability in this new world?
