I mean, I do think we should want to win the race, the point is they want to keep all the money. You can literally just offer equity as compensation to "content providers" and we won't have any problems with liquidity issues on the development side, and people can still be compensated or opt out.

There's no need for Google Lens. The image shows an LLM chat interface below the satallite imagery where the user is asking what significant events happened near Budapest airport on the capture date.

That said: it's actually fascinating that Google Lens found that so quickly. I guess there are many overhead photos of airports, and each airport has a relatively distinct shape?
The fact that the particular example is technically untrue doesn't change the overall point though.

ADHD is a structural brain difference that results in different and in some cases paradoxical responses to various things that affect alertness, attention, etc. Which makes a very good reason to distinguishing between things “for concentration” (presumably targeting neurotypical audiences) and things “for ADHD”.

Ah, another tech solution to a social cold start problem.

LinkedIn's value is that everyone is on it. Even super secretive Apple employees - Apple couldn't force them to delete their stuff. Talk about a powerful network effect. Just start browsing, see for yourself: https://www.linkedin.com/company/apple/people/

LI's value is not in the UI, not in the features. Just like FB, YT, WhatsApp, etc - they took off while no one else did, not because better tech, but by hitting a virality inflection point.

This is a hard problem to solve, people like Nikita Bier are the equivalent to rocket scientists in that area. And while they can launch a viral app for teenagers, the "easiest" early adopter group, repeatedly and flip it for cash - they can't figure out how to crack LinkedIn.

Think of it as a virus/pandemic problem. Who are the super spreaders that pull in the rest of the normies? What is the initial value for THEM to join in the first place? I can tell you that a special social network for Doctors, publicly listed now, had to give their initial cohort of docs STOCK in the company to be on the platform. Talk about dilution...

So, sorry, forget about the shiny UI. How do you infect and take over the LinkedIn host? They fight scraping left and right.

Personally I am so happy to work in enterprise SaaS...so much easier than the above :)
>Authoritarianism is when the government tells universities they can't just let students blockade classrooms, stopping people from learning, and still get education money from the government.

Edit: If I went to Columbia I would be lose it. I have to pay for my college at a prestigious university out of my own pocket using loans and if my one shot to get a good education and finally push my family outside of being uneducated was ruined by a bunch of rich kids who think it is ok to hold people like me hostage and stop me from going to classes for whatever their political goal is I would actually lose my mind. The government should be holding universities who allow students to bully and block students from learning, the purpose of the university, accountable by spending the government education money on places where people can actually learn.
> and was the only benchmark to pinpoint the exact moment in late 2024 when AI moved beyond pure memorization

This is self-referential, the benchmark pinpointed the time when AI went from memorization to problem solving, because the benchmark requires problem solving to complete. How do we know it requires problem solving skills? Because memorization-only LLMs can't do it but humans can.

I think ARC are producing some great benchmarks, and I think they probably are pushing forward the state of the art, however I don't think they identified anything particular with o3, at least they don't seem to have proven a step change.

It is strange that you use this as an example yet fail to understand it fully.

It's useful to know what current AI systems can achieve with unlimited test-time compute resources. Ultimately though, the "spirit of the challenge" is efficiency, which is why we're specifically looking for solutions that are at least within 1-2 order of magnitude of cost from being competitive with humans. The Kaggle leaderboard is very resource-constrained, and on the public leaderboard you need to use less than $10,000 in compute to solve 120 tasks.

Oh hey, I'm the guy who (in?)famously no longer builds software. Still building furniture, still dicking around on HN when I'm not building furniture.

My current project is a mid-century modern-inspired dining table. I'm delighted by the design, and I'm tickled to be building it. Not all projects are as fun. Last year I built a very large liquor cabinet that involved rather more problem-solving than expected. I should've charged more for it, and I am, as ever, grateful that my partner works a salaried job that comes with health insurance.

As a small point of order, I was never actually asked to add an RSS feed to a DBMS. I've definitely implemented things that made just as much sense to me though.

I remain delighted by how much that GitHub comment still resonates with folks, and I remain astonished that the issue is still open after almost 8 years.

ETA: I remain wholly unqualified to discuss the state of actual agriculture and homesteading. My partner and I garden, but make no pretense of ever having our small home be self-sustaining economically or even in food.
Unsurprising. I'm not sure much has changed since this recording of Bruce Bugbee's talk "Why Vertical Farming Won't Save the Planet". There's nothing surprising there but he does give hard numbers to do the math that shows that vertical farming is not as good as its proponents have made it out to be. Solar energy input dwarfs all other energy inputs to agriculture, and the cost to replace one acre of solar energy with electricity comes out to $400,000 per acre (per some unit of days per a growing season). I don't think the economics have tended favorably since. The space needs for solar panels doesn't favor vertical farming either. He also shows the efficiency of modern agriculture, and why vertical farming has a pretty tall order ahead of it to beat the economics of outdoor farming. It's quite unlikely factors have changed enough since to alter his conclusion: only high-value, high-water-content specialty crops might be economically viable.

Node Modules Inspector: Interactive UI for local node modules inspection
I don't think C is bad at all. One good thing about C is that the language is quite minimal, the same can not be said for the current batch of contenders (Zig, Rust). Another good thing about C is that it has strong separation of language standard from implementations, with many implementations provided by diverse suppliers. I also prefer the "batteries not included" philosophy. Obviously C is not without warts (e.g. logical operators precedence).

I will leave it to others to fill out the cons. One obvious one is that C does not reflect the parallel compute nature of modern targets (e.g. SIMD) but neither do most serious alternatives.

I do think the time is coming (if not already here) where it would be judged legally negligent to professionally employ C in new systems for certain use-cases (network facing, high assurance, ...). At least not without complete formal verification. I'll leave it to the actuaries to work out where the tipping point is.

> I'm not sure why you'd want an interpreted language on a microcontroller

Using a microcontroller to interrogate itself is a really valuable debugging technique.

Generally, you have attach to a UART port and attach a terminal emulator. This is especially important when considering the plethora of sleep modes that now exist for modern SoCs. Debug probes generally put the chip in maximum performance mode which often wipes out the state your trying to debug (especially important for sleep bugs).
There have been some human studies on ARC 1 previously, I expect there will be more in the future. See this paper from 2021, which was one of the earliest works in this direction: https://arxiv.org/abs/2103.05823

There is a huge difference between freelancing and contracting.

With freelancing you go to sites like UpWork and seek out work.

With contracting you engage in professional networking activities, you identify the organizations that might need your C/C++ skills and then pitch to them. You build your reputation and portfolio of successfully completed projects.

Obviously, contracting requires more effort, but it also pays far better. For most of my career I actually had paid work for 5-7 months a year. Much of that time involved working 60-80 hour weeks with quite a bit of travel on top of that. During the "bench time" I would chill and network.
> Back in the day you had to optimize your card for Quake...

That is exactly the attitude that got AMD out in the cold away from the AI revolution; they learned a lot of stupid lessons about optimising to specific games and present-day use cases instead of trying to implement general capabilities to a higher standard like Nvidia did in CUDA. They ended up a decade away from a multi-trillion dollar market

PyTorch might be special. I wouldn't be at all surprised if AMD does have a dedicated engineer working on PyTorch. But their problem to date hasn't been that their engagement with PyTorch, but rather that literally nobody could make PyTorch work on AMD cards which had buggy and terrible support for GPGPU work. If they fixed that some random might do the work without their involvement because a lot of people want to see that happen.
Congrats on the job! It's exciting to see developments in CUDA competitors.

I'd very much like to see VLAs get in the game with ARC. When I solve these puzzles I'm imagining myself move blocks around. Much of the time I'm treating these as physics simulations with custom physics per puzzle. VLAs are particularly well suited to the kind of training and planning which might unlock solutions here.
I'm not saying it does, just thought it was an interesting aside to talk about, Barbarossa was pretty flawed from the very beginning.

The reason these tasks require fluid intelligence is because they were designed this way -- with task uniqueness/novelty as the primary goal.

ARC 1 was released long before in-context learning was identified in LLMs (and designed before Transformer-based LLMs existed), so the fact that LLMs can't do ARC was never a design consideration. It just turned out this way, which confirmed our initial assumption.

But that's the point -- it's all about the definition of what constitutes the first airplane, which is kind of arbitrary.

If you get off the ground for a few hundred meters, why isn't that enough to be first?

Why does it need to be tens of kilometers? Are you establishing a 1km distance minimum? Based on what?

I'm not taking any position either way. But the idea that it's "Moon landing denialism" is ludicrous. It's not about whether the Wright brothers flew. It's about how you draw the definition of "flying" as opposed to e.g. an "assisted jump", which is non-obvious.

Ancient Internet lore at this point :)

Bezos used to (supposedly, didn't work for him) have the habit to forward emails to reports (direct and further down), with just an added comment of "!" or "?"

"!" was "Do something about this"

Whew! This pretty much sums up how I have been feeling about my career the last 6 months. Today, at work, we had a tongue-in-cheek "vibe coding" day where we practiced building primarily with AI tools. A part of me feels like this isn't what I signed up for when I became a software engineer. I am a builder not a manager. Yet, I was flabbergasting at how much I was able to build with claude. But building doesn't exactly describe what I did. And as the article suggests it does feel like managing and not building. I didn't read every line of code that was generated. I think describing the current zeitgeist as an identity crisis is spot on. Software engineering is going through a fundamental shift. But that has always been the case. The field has drastically evolved since it's inception. The only difference is that rate of change has increased such that it feels like we are experiencing a titanic shift. It certainly is an exciting time!
It's still both its core strength and core weakness, which is why it's not going anywhere.
By "a lot of people with ADHD" do you include people who are also self-diagnosed?

I ask because my experience is similar to yours (I also have ADHD). Anecdotal so take it with a grain of salt: I work in software engineering, know and have worked with a lot of self-diagnosed ADHDs who make it part of their identity, while some of them probably do have ADHD, the vast majority of them feel like perfectly normal people who would latch onto any opportunity to prove that they have ADHD. (e.g. people who have a single habit that could be stimming but otherwise don't exhibit and ADHD traits saying stuff like "sorry I can't help myself because of my ADHD brain").

In contrast those I know who have been properly diagnosed don't behave like they constantly need to tell people they have ADHD. They are usually deeply interested in the condition but you probably wouldn't know unless there is a proper setting for them to disclose it (invited to talk to an audience about their experience) or if you're someone they trust.

It feels like people who have the tendency to make ADHD part of their identity just want to been seen as special and important in some way (I don't mean this negatively) perhaps because that's how they see their genuinely neurodivergent peers. They tend to have many excuses for not getting a diagnosis because they won't risk the chance of finding out that they don't have ADHD as they have already made it part of their identity.

On the uglier side, there is also no shortage of people lying about having medical conditions for clout and money on the Internet.
So you don't care if your own country falls apart as long as someone else is even worse. What a bleak and spiteful view of life.
