There's a lot of code out there written for people who are far more concerned with cost and speed than quality - analogous to the "fast fashion" consumer segment.

Ive worked on all sorts of code bases filled to the brim with bugs which end users just worked around or ignored or didnt even encounter. Pre-product market fit startups, boring crappy CRUD for routine admin, etc.

It was horrible shit for end users and developers (me) but demand is very high. I expect demand from this segment will increase as LLMs drive the cost of supply to nearly zero.

I wouldnt be surprised if high end software devs (e.g. >1 million hit/day webapps where quality is critical) barely do anything different while the demand for devs at the low end of the market craters.
I must have been a little too ambitious with my first test with Claude Code.

I asked it to refactor a medium-sized Python project to remove duplicated code by using a dependency injection mechanism. That refactor is not really straightforward as it involves multiple files and it should be possible to use different files with different dependencies.

Anyway, I explain the problem in a few lines and ask for a plan of what to do.

At first I was extremely impressed, it automatically used commands to read the files and gave me a plan of what to do. It seemed it perfectly understood the issue and even proposed some other changes which seemed like a great idea.

So I just asked him to proceed and make the changes and it started to create folders and new files, edit files, and even run some tests.

I was dumbfounded, it seemed incredible. I did not expect it to work with the first try as I had already some experience with AI making mistakes but it seemed like magic.

Then once it was done, the tests (which covered 100% of the code) were not working anymore.

No problem, I isolate a few tests failing and ask Claude Code to fix it and it does.

Now for a few times I found some failing tests and ask him to fix it, slowly trying to fix the mess until there is a test which had a small problem: it succeeded (with pytest) but froze at the end of the test.

I ask again Claude Code to fix it and it tries to add code to solve the issue, but nothing works now. Each time it adds some bullshit code and each time it fails, adding more and more code to try to fix and understand the issue.

Finally after $7,5 spent and 2000+ lines of code changed it's not working, and I don't know why as I did not make the changes.

As you know it's easier to write code than to read code so at end I decided to scrape everything and do all the changes myself little by little, checking that the tests keep succeeding as I go along. I did follow some of the recommended changes it proposed tough.

Next time I'll start with something easier.
Donald Trump really should leave his fragile ego at the door and continue to support the USA's allies at this time. People forget that it was Zelensky refusing to lie which led to Trumps first impeachment.

At the very least this entire 180 and the attempt to humiliate Zelensky in the White House is Trump wanting to enact some kind of revenge.

At the very worst him praising Putin, threatening to leave Nato, threatening other allies, moving troops out of Germany and into Hungary, et all just reeks of something more.. conspiracy theory or not it's pretty disgusting as someone looking in from the outside.
Had a look at the questions they ask applicants to answer in the hopes of even receiving a response and I'm not terribly surprised that people might not want to fill it out. Aside from the invasive questions...

> Here's a fun question: Someone who eats meat often has an allergic reaction. What are some likely reasons for this?

> Please take 2 minutes to read our work culture and principles and answer this question: What do you think is the most intriguing aspect, and why?

Really?
Playing right into Putin's hands.
This is my one pet peeve with the web version of Claude. I always forget to tell it not to write code until further down in the conversation when I ask for it, and it _always_ starts off by wanting to write code.

In cursor you can highlight specific lines of code, give them to LLM as context, etc.. it's really powerful.

It searches for files by itself to get a sense of how you write code, what libraries are available, existing files, fixes its own lint / type errors (Sometimes, sometimes it gets caught in a loop and gives up), etc..

I believe you can set it to confirm every step.
And on the knowledge that Russia will certainly conduct strikes on polling stations.

Also Zelensky's popularity has shot up since Trump started aligning with Russia. And the next most likely president is probably even more hawkish towards Russia.
I don't get some of the antitrust measures.

It was dumb when they battled with microsoft's IE, and it's especially dumb when they battle Google's Chrome.

Chrome isn't just another google product, it is central to its search engine, they did an ofshoot into a browser because they found they needes to effectively develop a headless browser to scrape some js and mixed media websites.
I wholeheartedly agree with you. 30+ years in academia, I've taught
all around the northern hemisphere at all kinds of universities and
have written dozens of articles in Times Higher documenting the
regress of higher learning institutions into kindergartens.

It's not just that universities are no longer fit places for teaching,
learning and research, but something bigger is at play, which I see as
"the death of adulthood". HE institutions are leaders in this
'infantilisation' which is toxic to self-development and personal
responsibility.

A big factor is the aggressive intrusion of US BigTech; Turnitin,
Grammarly etc... violating "proctoring" software, just a pathological
and pointless quest systematise and lock-down absolutely
everything.

Another reason universities have been morally upended is putting
vanity and appearance before substance. They care more about how they
are seen, in league tables and in social media, than they care about
their students. Self-deluding PR has made universities worse than some
of the most cringe corporations.

As a recovered "academic" prof (they are not really academies any
longer but holding-pens and "degree vendors") I absolutely would not
want my own kids to waste their time or money there.
Since when was the US in the European Union or even near Europe? How is it like Brexit in the slightest? Why is it the US's responsibility to finance and organize the majority of EU's defense?

PS: I'm from and in Europe. I don't get why it is a good or logical thing that the US should be responsible for the majority of "Western" defense on our territory.
This is a pretty good aggregation.
Well, someone would've made this at some point anyway. I don't get why people tend to bring stuff from other languages to Go, but it's better to have something than not I guess...

>> why C-suite does even need to tell the respective division management to lay off employees if the actual goal is cost reduction

You answered your own question. For a lot of layoffs, cost reduction isn't the goal; it's disciplining the workforce who were increasingly assertive at work about direction and conditions.
It seemed to be part of the site. Put there by Bloomberg.

Yeh I've thought about whether it'd be possible/safe to use something like an "overclocked" electric blanket to sterilize the mattress daily.

They also need humidity (~50% RH), hence why I got the dehumidifer, which has definitely knocked them back.
"Throw the Russians out of Ukraine" would suffice. No need to wipe anything out. (Except what logistically is needed to achieve said goal.)

Good vs evil is simplistic, but it serves as shorthand for "it's worth fighting for".
Back in the day, AutoGPT was trying to do the same thing. I wonder what became of it.
>Brand's design chief commits to "never" repeating the "mistake" of relegating essential controls to touchscreens

I could accept that to never repeat the "mistake" as an apology from VW.
But what about those who were supportive of it? We could go back to HN / Twitter history and read more than half of comments at the time thinks physical buttons are old and dump, Tesla has the future done right. That was in the mid 2010s.

Every single time those loud and hype constantly and consistently have it wrong. And every single time, like a PR machine they would go and hype the next wrong thing. But no one would hold them accountable. And the cycle repeats.

Because of that we have suffer from absolute crap over the past 10 years from Car manufacturers. We are lucky a few Japanese Cars manufacture hasn't caught the hype and stood ground. Thank You Mazda.
> Russia if they manage to mass produce Su-57 or Su-75

They can only do that if US provides them with required components

oh wait...
Also corps fail to realize that most people arent interested in the actual corp work but rather niche stuff that isn't as marketable. Why would people go out of their way to apply to some corp job?
I agree. Assuming that nobody answered the questions and did the assignment because they aren't independent thinkers is arrogant. Nobody answered the questions and did the assignment as they make this job far more expensive to apply to than other jobs, with no clear higher expected value.
I made an app for this called Reflect [1]. You can run self guided experiments for anything you can model as a metric in the app. I just wrote about an experiment I did with nootropic coffee [2].

I do not for a second believe Trump thinks this all up himself. I'm not one for conspiracies, but I'm wondering how large the group using him as a mouthpiece really is.
The Russian aviation industry has a terrible track record on delivering new aircraft.
It's taking something (DNS) to do things it wasn't designed to do (be an ads firewall)

That's a definition of hacking
OP here. It's a question to easily detect for people who use chatgpt to fill the form. Anyone who enters alpha-gal syndrome has probably used chatgpt. That isn't an automatic reject though (very generic template answers are). Guess we'll have to find another question soon now this is out here for LLMs to slurp up!

The reason for this questionnaire is culture fit. It's also the very practical matter of weeding through 2500 applications when AI has made all straightforward code-based questions very pointless
Wouldn't changing the matress help? Also, if you using a pillow, consider keep them under the sun every few days. You can even keep the matress under the sun, maybe on the terrace if you have access to it. Pillows can also be washed as well.

Telling you from my own experience. It could work for you if you haven't tried already.
The cognitive load it takes to parse this sentence is proof that it's hacking.
termux-storage-get works on USB mounts, but badly. You can only fetch individual files.
Time for us in Europe to man up.
They seem very distinct to me - the mutual affinity with London seems much stronger than any cross literature bonds there.

I do remember thinking Kraken was a little Gaimanesque though so that suggests at least a transitive link to Pratchett, so perhaps ...?

btw your blog link in your profile doesn't work for me (we seem to have similar taste in literature so I thought I'd see what you've written)
There is a long distance between a 0% and 100% rise in a tax.

It sounds like you are saying the only reason to work is so that your children will never have to work.
Good, can we skip the 5th gen and move towards autonomous aerial systems faster?
Compiling C++ with the Clang API
How does this compare to Basis Universal encoding?

I'm willing to bet they can do it with possible financial assistance from India (they need 5th gen fighters too) and generic chips from China.

P.S. Many mocked Russian munitions came with chips made by Texas Instruments among others, but thing is those chips are so damn generic you can get that from random shops in Shenzhen.
This is an important point. It looks like they didn’t directly make any measurements of vision, just biological markers of corneal health.

That doesn’t mean that vision didn’t improve. It’s just a bit odd that if it did, they wouldn’t have quantified it and added that to this paper.
While having a bot that auto-replies with "similar issues" pointers might make sense at a large scale (to relieve maintainers), I usually prefer to do this manually at my current scale, knowing that there's one particular instance where I pointed someone in a given direction, and want to either reuse/modify a code example block, or stitch together semantically unrelated but relevant comments & discussions together.

You might want to talk to Jovi [1] about that, he's doing something very similar.

Russia already lost Su-57 in Ukraine when ukrainians didn't even had F-16.
software development costs are out of control the whole industry is one big grift, there’s no accountability anywhere, 20% of the devs are doing 80% of the work, the business would instantly terminate the 80% for cause if they could only discern the difference, but they can’t, because the business side is also a big grift with the exact same problem all the way up to the founders recursively
I'm not sure if it's just me but I only see ONE photo of U2. By the title I was expecting to see more. I hope more concert venues digitize stuff like this.
Might be easy to install, still is a hack ( as in useful hacking, not cracking).

It's a thing (dns) modified for a purpose it wasn't designed for (ad firewall)
I'm willing to entertain the possibility that the Russian can improve the track record faster than the EU develops 5th gen fighters.
I don't think Laravel is particularly GoF-ish, if that's what you mean. In terms of patterns it's mostly fairly simple.

> Why not use the actual language or framework your engineers like instead?

Go does not provide "enough" by itself to completely furnish my needs. And having a framework that uses common terminology and patterns allows you to get s__t done and not waste time bikeshedding.

"Microservices are cattle, not pets."
Huh? How is this related?
> There are 2 things we’re talking about here.

I was never actually talking about the physical mechanisms. Sure we can agree that GPUs, logical gates, etc physically work in a certain way. That just isn't important here at all.

> For that reason, it is uncritical to assume that there is any kind of “thought” process occurring at inference which is similar to our thought processes.

I wasn't intending to raise concerns over emergent consciousness or similar. Whether thought goes on is a bit less clear depending on how you define thought, but that still wasn't the point I was making.

We have effectively abandoned the alignment problem and the interoperability problem. Sure we know how GPUs work, and we don't need to assume that consciousness emerged, but we don't know why the model gives a certain answer. We're empowering these models with more and more authority, not only are they given access to the public internet but now we're making agents that are starting to interact with the world on our behalf. Models are given plenty of resources and access to do very dangerous things if they tried to, and my point is we don't have any idea what goes on other than input/output pairs. There's a lot of risk there.

> Comparing the two is like apples and oranges anyway and is pedantic in a non-useful way, especially with our limited understanding of the human brain.

Comparing the two is precisely what we're meant to do. If the comparison wasn't intended they wouldn't be called "artificial intelligence". That isn't pedantic, if the term isn't meant to imply the comparison then they were either accidentally or intentionally named horribly.
Brexit damaged the UK's economy and partnerships. The actions the US keep taking are like that but worse. They are pissing off allies in Europe by doing things like this, they are damaging their own economy and partnerships by threatening and placing tariffs on allies for no real reason.
Read Jude the Obscure.
That is exactly what I did last year. Bought a low mileage 2003 9-5. Treated the whole process like owning a commercial aircraft where replaced as part as possible to start fresh. Easier in this day and age, with internet helping on guidance and parts. I am not a car guy overall, though average auto design, external and internal, low-priced or expensive, is like fingernails on a chalkboard. Saab was about only thing that was calming for me.
Open-UI: Maintain an open standard for UI and promote its adherence and adoption
Because it's been a really good deal for the US.
1. European countries have (for the most part) not had an incentive to build military might, which means they won't be adversaries to the US.
2. This dependency on the US has given the US a lot of soft power in terms of diplomatic pull. In the past, the US could just ask Europe to jump, and Europeans would ask how high.
3. In addition to Europe, it's also kept Russia in check, because it has prevented them from expanding to the west.
Most grid systems don't have overlapping squares because they are quad trees. Each point identifies a single rectangle they are in, and all the parent rectangles that fully contain that rectangle.

H3 doesn't have that property between levels. Cells at a level don't overlap. But the the seven children of a cell might overlap with neighboring parent cells.

Of course rectangles aren't rectangular when projected on a sphere. Because there are no straight lines. Rectangles and hexagons are 2d shapes that are applied to the 2d projections of spheres. They only look like rectangles or hexagons in 2D.
Trump just destroyed US advanced arms export. He is efficient at tearing things down, gotta give him that.
The ORM question is a very good example for the issue you describe. Laravel is great to get a CRUD app started right now, iterate very quickly, and leave implementation complexity to the framework. This isn’t the right tool for every job, but it shines at those where it is. For example, you can drop an engineer with Laravel experience in pretty much any Laravel codebase, since the conventions are so strong, they’ll probably understand your business logic upfront.

Additionally, Laravel ships with a huge swath of functionality out of the box. While you’re still researching the best SQL library for a project, a Laravel developer has spun up the framework with a working Postgres connection and starts being productive. There is no value in inspecting the SQL underneath, because the queries never get complex enough to warrant that. And if they do, you drop out of the ORM and write SQL.

As I said before: this isn’t the best way to do something, but a very peculiar way that works well for a specific kind of application. Go is simply a tool for other kinds of applications, where Laravel cannot compete.
It was a win win arrangement of sorts. Europe got to spend less on defense. US won a reliable ally that would not challenge them much, and help enforce worldwide US dominance. Basically a near vassal situation.
It's not about a single question, it's about all of them that don't do anything to further the process. They're a waste of time for people who have options - in other words, the people you want to hire.

If a company wants me to jump through hoops just for the shot at an interview, I'm not doing it because I can go afford to go elsewhere. I'm sure I'm far from alone in that.
I googled some pre-workout and it seems to be about 200mg of caffeine, same as a can of Monster. I've drank 2 cans of Monster back-to-back a few times in my life and still not felt jittery.

I largely share experience with Kiro, I don't feel like caffeine makes me perk up at all really. I just drink Monster cause I love the flavor of some of them.
Hello,

Complete ignorant of strategy, international relations and power dynamics here.

There's sweet FA sun for six months out of the year here in central europe so not a viable option.
Thankfully it seems to be uniting the EU rather than dividing. Remains to be seen if they can get their act together though.
There's amateur and outsider musicians for sure, I've seen them. They learn by hearing, usually listen to pop or rock, not classically trained.

More common with guitar than piano though.

Similarly they are most popular with Javascript than with C
They’re responsible for honoring their agreements and contracts. How can any European state now trust the F-35s that they’ve purchased or going to purchase? All the trans-Atlantic trust built since 1945. Flushed down the toilet in a few weeks. Trust is difficult to build but easy to destroy.
Is this something you write often in Rust? A promise returning a struct with a promise returning a struct with a promise.

Although I agree that await could use some precedence like new in javascript:

new types.Date().toJSON()
// fine

await readdir(…).filter(…)
// oops

I’d rather parenthesize what I’m awaiting in complex cases than awaiting just everything that follows.
This is spot on and exactly why I built digest. You bypass the algos entirely and are shown only what you want to see, not what the algos want you to see.
Facebook Marketplace is keeping young people on the platform
The US administration agrees with you. It also decided it doesn't want to sell weapons to the Western world anymore, and that it wants to carry the cost of weapons development all itself without relying on exports.

It also wants to forcibly grow competing defense contractors in Europe.
I found it weird too. Was the author using voice dictation to write the article?
Trump is really a disgusting human being. I'm not a US citizen but this looks an awful lot like treason -- he is actively helping an enemy of the state.
Stephen Briggs, who adapted several of the works for the stage, said the dialogue was an absolute gift for that.

Think of how the "Dread Portal" scene in Guards Guards! would play out on stage and one sees exactly what he means.
OP here. We are fully aware of how this might seem like a lot of work for job seekers. But the practical reality is the Indian job market has a massive supply of talent. As with any, it is of variable quality. We are very clear we do not want to use the usual credentialing and leetcode interviews as filters. They suck. We want to work with people who are genuinely interested in the domain we work in (education) and this has worked reasonably well for us.

I would love to find a better way to filter through 2500 applications. What markers do we rely on. AI has made the usual filters even more irrelevant.
