"plow forward" and implying they didn't consider their actions and their effects seem ungenerous, given the list of precautions in the comment you're replying to.

You can disagree on whether the measures are effective, of course, but they're clearly not thoughtless.
Advocate or not, it’s here to stay. And if you’re not adjusting to it, you’re doing yourself a disservice.

Last week I did the amount of work that would’ve taken me give or take a month. A significant part of it was writing an API client for a system I needed to use. Pretty run of the mill stuff. Doing this ‘by hand’ just takes time. Go look at the docs, type out your data structures, wire things up for the new call, write tests. With “the robot” once the framework was largely in place, you just paste API docs for the endpoint you need, and it’s done in a minute. With tests and everything.

Now, you could argue that this is not “senior level work”. Sure, maybe. But the thing is, you need to use it to learn how to use it effectively, and more importantly to get the intuition about what it can help with best.

So this is my thesis now - if you’re a senior who neglects this new tool, you’re going to be out of a job soon-ish.

Me neither, but I don't think that's pertinent. Why do you?

Finally, you make an argument about interfaces, but I think the issue here is the use of CDDL licensed code, rather than the (re-)implementation of an interface. To me it seems like the finding in Sega v Accolade aren't relevant here.

The trick is that the benchmarks must have a wide enough distribution so that a well scoring model is potentially useful for the widest span of users.

There also would need to be a guarantee (or checking of the model somehow) that model providers don't just train on the benchmarks. Solutions are dynamic components (random names, numbers, etc) or private parts of benchmarks.

No, I understand (they caught a killer in Italy in a similar way, though in that case the dna tests were taken after the fact, in a sort of "gradient ascent" pattern).

But your example is that of a licit, even desirable use of those dna tests. They can be used for bad purposes, but that is what you have a government for: to decide what can be done and what can't. Health insurances obtaining your dna sequence from a third party to change your premium? Abso-fucking-lutely unacceptable. (And besides, at that point, what keeps the insurance company from asking your dna directly, unless you want to pay max price?). If you can't keep the government from allowing such things, you should either campaign to change the government or emigrate. This whole "let's keep a profile as low as possible because the government might go against me someday" is both a bit paranoid and fatalistic. If you distrust the government so much then you should put all your energies in changing it, not in keeping a low profile.

If only we had any actual privacy laws in the United States.

I hate that I'm having my samples destroyed and removed from research. It feels wrong. But the idea that some company can quietly change the privacy terms on me is unacceptable. I would happily share my genetic data with researchers if I knew that the privacy agreement we had was irrevocable.
Indeed. So conflict resolution that takes input from the user needs to be part of the protocol. Just like in Git.

I think a lot of cool shit will happen in the next hundred years, but the “end of scarcity unlimited money/tech points hack” is unlikely to happen in the next 100 years.

And this is the core of my argument, let’s talk more about the cool shit.
Your comment made me think of other companies we view as (mostly) “good” today.

E.g. tons of people take Uber/Lyft with no consideration about how those companies can take your travel history and daily schedule to monetize or sell to 3rd parties.

DoorDash - what if they start selling my order history to insurance companies as a variable to predict obesity/mortality?

HN/Reddit - what if some LLM scrapes all my comments, de-anonymizes me, and sells that info to a data broker?

Visa/Mastercard - what if 100% of my credit card history is sold to data brokers? (Spoiler, it already often is!)

Just trying to illustrate that even in 2025, we pick and choose what to view through rose colored glasses and what to frown upon.

In the example of Uber/Lyft, I willingly give up my home address and even let me know every time I’m out of town! (Trips to airport) yet that seemingly doesn’t cross my mind when requesting a ride.

I don’t disagree with your comment, but IMO what was true in 2000’s is still true today: people overlook risks of things when the benefits are substantial enough. That’s human nature
With all due respect, that's baseless FUD.

Call me naive, but I believe insurance companies have more concrete battles to fight (e.g. confirmed preexisting conditions), than getting in a legal quagmire with insurees just because "you have 2.7% risk of having early onset of X, instead of the 1.35% of the average population".

I understand the allure of painting everything with dystopian Orwellian colors and "but-what-if-they-do" thing, but the fact that 23andme is going bankrupt and others are not much better (Ancestry was acquired by a PE firm in 2020, and is increasingly pivoting away from DNA) is a great indicator that DNA data is commercially worthless.

If anything, the biggest risk is your data being used for ads. I bet some pharma companies would love to use your DNA data to enhance their 1PD propensity models.

Unfortunately, even if we ignore the fact that Cloudflare probably has many Italian customers, there are other ways they can interfere with Cloudflare's services, such as by blocking their IP addresses in the country. It wouldn't be the first time this has been done by European ISPs, sadly.

The ones that are well compensated are the ones that survived high school and probably college football, where they weren't really compensated that much at all.

In high school, the football coaches would nag me at the beginning of the football season to join the team -- understandable since I was an example of the kind of wall of muscle and flesh you wanted in your defensive lines. I never joined because it didn't seem like much fun to me to be constantly slamming into other guys of that size.

More recently, I ran into one of the guys who did join the team, played defensive tackle, and went on to also play in college. Having also relatively recently seen up-close the effects of TBI, alzheimers, dementia -- even a short interaction made it obvious he was suffering heavily from hitting his head so much; the sad part is that he's the same age as me, and that by the time I hit middle age, he's probably going to be dead. Well, that's one of the sad parts, the other big one is that his reward for all that is two jobs in retail to try to make ends meet because he never got paid much for playing, and the TBIs made it hard to find a high-paying career.
> It's impressive how much internet censorship in Europe is currently being caused by this one group of extremely greedy people.

How is this greedy? It's clearly illegal behavior, both from illegal re-broadcasters and from users. Most of those re-broadcast services aren't even free either, they're directly making money from the broadcasts they're replicating.

The problem is that we still haven't figured out a way to properly enforce laws on the internet. Even for completely egregious violations there's no way to do anything once you track down the website to a bulletproof host in Russia or Ukraine or similar countries that don't cooperate. After 20 years of getting nowhere the courts have to find new and creative ways to enforce laws. I think everyone agrees that ideally this shouldn't be DNS blocks or IP blocks but rather these services getting removed from the internet and/or having to implement regional blocks to comply with laws. But there's just no way at all to make this happen right now.
Yeah

The historic benefits of technology come from eliminating the waste of human effort:

- Motors and engines removed the waste of using our muscles as an energy source

- Computers removed the waste of people's time doing calculations and admin manually

- Electronic Communications removed the waste of carrying information in physical form

What's the most prevalent form of waste today? I think it's dishonesty and corruption. And AI seems set to make more of it.

We're in something of an autodidacticism boom. I have yet to see anyone, in years, actually become proficient at college-level math/physics without formal instruction, just by doing self-study with tutorials like pdfs and videos.

There will always be major knowledge gaps or roadblocks/impasses of understanding, like notation or clarification needed. This is not to say it cannot be done but I have to see anyone do it.
It's actually `letSlightlyDifferentAIJudgeOutputSanity()` rather than `isOutputSane()`, I think.

I'm not entirely sure how they could provide their service without that data collection. Much of the data is things like likes, groups joined, people followed, profile, comments, etc - all features people specifically use the service for.

I think this is naive regarding propagandists. These TV channels don't "express views", they manipulate and fabricate opinion to serve the interests of their owners (in this case a multi-billionaire industrial family with a far right ideology).

Rather than offer viewpoints, they suppress any constructive discussion and recenter the debate on bogus issues to rile people up and garner votes for populist parties that are friendly to their stakeholders. They are a poison to democracy. The riling up itself also has direct and violent consequences.

In such situations, the freedom of the perpetrators is at odds with the freedom of the victims. There is no solution that prevents a lion eating a gazelle that doesn't involve restraining the lion. As children are taught, "my freedom ends when the freedom of others begins".

I doubt any country in the world allows you to manipulate someone into murder and then walk away with it once the deed is done. Punishing hate speech is that but on a larger scale. I struggle to see the issue, really. The only matter of discussion is the definition of hate speech, but the principle itself is sound and necessary in my opinion (and of the majority of people who welcome that such laws exist).

By the way, you mentioned England in your initial comment, but the UK has similar laws in this regard. Were you thinking of the US as a freer nation? For having lived in both, I'll have to beg to disagree, I've never felt as surveilled as in the US. Private companies store your whole card number and any details you were unfortunate enough to share with a given retailer (such as email address) are shared across nation-wide networks. But it sure is convenient when WholeFoods knows you have an Amazon Prime subscription. Or does it not count when it's private companies, only the government?
A lot of Chinese and Japanese companies don't use native English speakers or fluent non-native English speaker familiar with idiomatic US English when writing material for US readers.

You can often see this in the instructions sheets and manuals that come with Chinese and Japanese consumer electronics.

I've long been puzzled by this in the case of multinational companies that have large offices both in the US and in their home company. Even if the product is designed and manufactured in their home company one of their US offices will be handling sales and service and support in the US.

So why don't they send the English translation of the manual that someone in the home country produced to one of their US offices and ask the US office to clean it up before release?

But a solution that takes an OpenAPI spec and generates all of those things from templates would be much more reliably correct than letting an AI do it, and has already existed for years.

> Are they auto running the retries - in a background job which they handle (like “serverless” background job)?

Yes. The library makes sure that your app retries failed workflows. Or if you use the commercial products, takes care of that for you.
The more I work with LLMs and try things like "vibe coding" the less worried I am about AI taking my job any time soon.

In the right contexts, I find LLMs can speed up my work a lot. But it's nowhere close to being able to replace what I do.
> is currently being caused by this one group of extremely greedy people.

You can be sure it's not limited to just them. This just appears to be the most publicized example because the government happens to be the unusual position that the entity under scrutiny has far more money and legal power than they do.
Why not use linux network namespaces to run your processes in different network stack? nftables rules are per network namespaces so you can get all sorts of sophisticated and achieve essentially per process firewalling. The pattern is to create a network namespace, create a veth pair and move one end of the pair into the namespace. Then you could set up rules to route traffic from default namespace to the process namespace via veth device.

Systemd has `NetworkNamespacePath` directive which can spin up services in new namespaces as well. See `man 5 systemd.exec`

The source has Ἡρακλέους στήλας. Wiktionary tells me that's more like blocks of Heracles, or slabs or monuments.

https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext... (press "focus" to swap language)

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%CF%83%CF%84%CE%AE%CE%BB%CE%B...

It's kind of completely unambiguous though, given all the details:

> from a distant point in the Atlantic ocean,

> the ocean there was at that time navigable;

> in front of the mouth which you Greeks call, as you say, 'the pillars of Heracles,'

The location is clearly out in the unnavigable Atlantic, and the [whatever] of Heracles form a mouth.
Vibe Coding is a trigger word for devs who insist it's a pointless exercise because it doesn't do 100% of the job. Devs don't seem to realize that's not the point - the point is you can hire less devs if you're only worried about the remaining 20%.

Also this article is immensely distracting.

> Types are just a layer on top of your code that help enforce certain logical / mathematical properties of your code; those that your particular type system enables you to constrain.

I don't know if I really agree with that. It seems to presume the default form of data is a map<any,any> and you constrain that down to a specific set of fields. (Or similar logic over void pointer spaghetti.) If you build up a record type from scratch you're doing something quite different. Adding a field where there used to be nothing, no way to store data there in an instance, is not what I would call a constraint.

Yes, assuming the label of who is a “criminal” is fair.

There is always the risk of a society or government changing that definition after they have the data and it’s too late to go back.
I feel exactly the same. On the other hand, the “speed up my work a lot” part is important, and shouldn’t be overlooked. Like, if someone reads this article and figures they don’t need to learn to use AI for their coding job, that’s the wrong conclusion to make.
excellent, i was giong to ask if you're going to test it anyway why not make it free. and now you have. nice. i'm really curious what the attack vector is here. i try to take privacy guys seriously but sometimes theres definitely just fearmongering
This will definitely be used by all kinds of guru/magician types to demonstrate "telepathy" to their followers.
Depends on the crime. They aren't exactly fungible acts. Furthermore the state isn't exactly obligated to manage society, even if this has occurred in various forms throughout history. Many of our laws weren't exactly written with "society's" best interest at heart. Ultimately, the state will look after itself above all else.

I'm just saying I'd like the state to have to work hard to put people away. The law can just as easily be wielded to harm people. I don't see much sign the american public agrees with me, and politicians certainly don't agree. Even mr "it's a witch hunt" trump is only anti-LEO when it comes to his own crimes. But I'd rather have some low background level of crime than the sinking feeling that we're imprisoning a lot of innocent people, as unpopular a sentiment it might be to some in this country.

Besides, if the government doesn't take care of society, higher crime is inevitable.

Your program would gracefully handle this though, because the workflow would fail and it would retry.

I use LLMs for a lot of things these days, but maybe the most important one is as a focus-preserving mechanism for exactly these kinds of middle-ground async tasks that have a feedback loop measured in a handful of minutes.

If the process is longer than a few minutes, I can switch tasks while I wait for it. It's waiting for those things in the 3-10 minute range that is intolerable for me: long enough I will lose focus, not long enough for me to context switch.

Now I can bullshit with the LLM about something related to the task while I wait, which helps me to stay focused on it.
